Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. November 26, 2018. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York,
Starting point is 00:00:27 this is the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Welcome back from Thanksgiving. I'm trying to know it. Our guest tonight is a founder of the Black Ipe's William is here, everybody. His new project, his new project is an amazing combination. It's an album, a graphic novel, augmented reality, it's an experience, it's a concert, it's a tour.
Starting point is 00:01:08 It's basically too much. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. Big news in space, big news in space. toa today. NASA celebrated the touchdown of its latest spacecraft on Mars, which could be the next step in the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the next step in successfully colonizing space. And look at how happy those scientists are, huh? That's clearly the first time any of them has ever scored a touchdown. Look at them, look at that.
Starting point is 00:01:30 And speaking of Mars, Elon Musk is still planning on voyaging to the red planet, and anyone who wants to join him might want to think again. SpaceX CEO hopes to become the first to put people on Mars and there's a good chance, the CEO Elon Musk, could be one of them. He says that, while it may seem like some type of luxury for the rich, living on Mars would be hard work. It's a good chance of death. You'll be working non-stop to build the base. As you're not much time for leisure. We think you can come back, but we're not sure. That's your sales pitch? Are you looking to not have fun and then suffocate to death?
Starting point is 00:02:10 Come to Mars! I will say it is refreshingly honest, though. We should get Elon Musk to do pharmaceutical ads because he would only tell us the side effects. He'd be like, have you tried Cvetrex, it might kill you, your penis. And it might clear up your, but you'll probably die. It's nice that Elon Musk is so up front about the details, you know? But you gotta admit, it would have been kind of funny
Starting point is 00:02:31 if Elon Musk waited until they landed on Mars to be like, oh, I forgot to mention, you are my space slaves now! Get to work building my base. Because then you realize all those rich white people would be slaving away on the Martian fields. They'll be singing their old Caucasian spirituals. They'd be like, Sweet Caroline. Oh, oh, oh. Moving on, all parents dream about what their babies will look like.
Starting point is 00:03:01 But thanks to some Chinese scientists, you might not have to leave it up to chance. A bombshell overnight from a Chinese scientist who claimed to have created the world's first genetically edited babies. It's a procedure denounced in the science world as human experimentation. The researcher made the unconfirmed claim that he altered the DNA of twin girls born this month. He said the goal was to give them a trait resistant to the HIV virus. It's a procedure that's reportedly able to rewrite the blueprint of life during in vitro fertilization. This is insane.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Chinese scientists have genetically modified babies to make them resistant to HIV. That's how badly some parents don't want to talk to them about condoms or should I. It's like that seems dangerous. tha that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be that's that's that's that's that's that's their that's reportedly. that's that's that's that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's their their their. their. their. their their. their. their their. their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the today. the the the the todaya. throooooooo o'eo. that's reportedly that's reportedly them about condoms or should I? It's like, oh, let's just change their DNA. It's like, that seems dangerous. Okay, do you want to tell him about anal? Okay, no, let's just change the DNA. Let's just change the DNA. that's just a teanne. that's the tea. to be honest. You know that editing that thing that thing that thing thing thing th that th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the. the. the the the their their their their their the their the the their th the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

People would be like, that's cheating. He'd be like, no, no, it's to prevent HIV. And finally, California has some good news. The wildfires ravaging across California have finally been contained, right?
Starting point is 00:04:16 Specifically the campfire has been contained. And it's not by luck. This is thanks to the tireless work of so many courageous firefighters. We salute you and what you've done. And if you can, please keep donating. Keep donating because there are many Californians who will need our help for some time to come. And I was reading about the story today, and it's honestly fascinating because apparently the firefighters light containment fires
Starting point is 00:04:42 pretty much controlled burns to help cut off where the fire can spread. They're fighting fire with fire, which I was thinking probably pisses off the wildfire, right? Because the wildfire sees the other fire working for the firefighters and the fire is probably like, oh you're one of those snitch fires, huh? You don't do me like that? And the other fire's like, hey man, I'm just trying to get a job, man. You know, it's like, oh shit, you think, you think when I'm out, they're not gonna turn those hoses on you, man. You forgot where you came from, you ashy, mother, ****. So congratulations, California.
Starting point is 00:05:10 All right, let's move on to our top story. The border. America's got two. But we all know which one I'm takakakakakakakakakakakakereereerelt. It's become a perpetual flashpoint in American politics. Do you shut it all down or do you let everyone in? These are the only two options. And this weekend, it all came to a head. Breaking news on the U.S.-Mexico border, federal officials closing down California's
Starting point is 00:05:36 largest border crossing right now between San Diego and Tijuana, shortly after hundreds of migrants overwhelmed Mexican police and rushed toward the border. Mexico's Interior Ministry said around 500 migrants tried to violently enter the U.S. Sunday. U.S. authorities claimed some of the migrants through rocks and other projectiles at U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Okay, now, I don't think it's fair to say those people were illegally trying to enter the United States, all right? Maybe they were just tha tha tha tha thi thi thiiiiii thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiolk. thiolk, thiolk, thiolk, thiolomen, thiolomea. thaui. thi. try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. trys, trys, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, trys. try and try and try try tryi. trys, trys, trying to enter the United States, right? Maybe they were just rushing into the country for all of those Black Friday deals. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah, maybe those Hondurans were like, I don't even know what Aroku is, but at 80% of I would be a fool not to chase across the border to try get it. And you know, what I found really interesting about the story is how much get your news. The U.S. Border Patrol fires tear gas to stop migrants, including women and children on Mexico's side of the divide. I don't mean to be hyperbolic about it, but clearly what happened yesterday were people trying to invade our border. You were just hyperbolic about it. So do you see what this is?
Starting point is 00:06:39 So it was either innocent women and children who were just strolling through a park in Mexico and they got surprised by tear gas or innocent Border Patrol agents were attacked by hordes of violent brown people singing the narco's theme song as they came across. I'm the fire. I'm the fire. I'm the fire. And like what's also interesting to me is that both sides of viewing this as a validation that they were right all along. One side is like, you see, I told you America is the most immigrant hating nation of all time.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And then the other side is like, you see, I told you they were coming to invade. But let's be honest, this wasn't an invasion, okay? It was frustrated asylum seekers at the border, throwing stones, which we can be honest, probably isn't going to help their case. Because you know Trump is going to use this as proof that all asylum seekers are criminals and dangerous. Like, throwing stones will not help you get into America. Unless you can throw them like really fast, like 95 miles an hour, because then maybe the Yankees will help you get in. They'll be like, yeah, no, no, bring, here. And by the way, one reason these immigrants are getting desperate is that they can't just stay put because it turns out that Mexico doesn't want them either.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Mexican authorities say that they have arrested 39 migrants and they plan to deport anyone who tried to enter the US illegally. The Mexican government also says that since mid-October when the caravan first started to arrive here, they have deported nearly 11,000 people, Central Americans back to their home...... th, th, their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. toe. toe. toe. toe. to arrive here. They have deported nearly 11,000 people, Central Americans, back to their home countries. We are here because our government has not taken control of these, what we call invasion. That's right. You may not know this, but Mexico also doesn't want people coming in from their southern border. Like I bet if Trump watched that on the news, he'd be so confused. He'd be like, you know what, maybe some of those Mexican rapers are good people.
Starting point is 00:08:31 And it's crazy to realize that no matter what country you go to, people can always be racist against someone further south. All right? Americans don't like Mexicans, and then Central Americans hate South Americans. and then South Americans are like, get out of here, Penguins! You tuxedo-wearing mootherf's! And now, there are some people who have said, I may not agree with how these immigrants tried to come into the country, but I still think that shooting them with tear gas is a little extreme.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Well, if you watched Fox News, you'll see that one man's tear gas is another man's condiments. To clarify, the type of deterrent being used is OC pepper spray. It's literally water, pepper, with a small amount of alcohol for evaporation purposes. It's natural. You could actually put it on your nachos and eat it. Yeah. You could put it on your nachos and eat it. Yeah, you could put it on your nachos and eat it. That guy makes it sound like people crossing the border is just a scam for immigrants to
Starting point is 00:09:31 get free spice. It's just like, oh man, this food so bland, let's try to cross the border, man. For more on this, we turn to know what you think. Do you agree that the American government using tear gas was a step too far? I mean, people were literally running away with tears in their eyes. Well, thanks, Trevor. First of all, this whole tear gas thing, I mean, gas doesn't cause tears, okay?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Being abandoned by your father because your worthless causes tears. Trevor, these babies at the border, they need to stop crying because pepper spray, it's basically just siracha in aerosol form. So you would eat pepper spray? Yeah. Put it on a plate of nachos, I'm good. Oh, because I've got a plate of nachos. Well, uh... Oh a plate of nachos. Oh, well, uh...
Starting point is 00:10:26 Oh, look, nachos. I've also got pepper spray. Oh, um... Bring it on, bro. Yeah. You said you can eat it, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Yeah, okay, okay. I mean, you know, these, uh, these immigrants try out. Oh. It shouldn't be put off th th th th th th th th th th th to be th th th th th th th to be th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho out. They shouldn't be put off by a little bit of a hot, spicy pepper. They're not going to make it in America anyway. Jesus Christ, because these waters. Is it hot in here for anybody else? Or Michael Costa, everyone will be right back.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Get the water. Get the water. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast.

If you were anywhere on the East Coast during Thanksgiving, you would know that it got so damn cold.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Like it was freezing, it was so cold that your turkey refused to come out of the oven. You're like, it's time. Tickie was like, 10 more minutes, 10 more minutes. And because of that, some of you might have been thinking, whatever happened to global warming. Well on Friday, on Friday, on Friday, on Friday, on Friday, on the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thuu. thu. thu, thu, thu, thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

A new government report says man-made climate change is already wreaking havoc on the US. 13 federal agencies warns of more destructive Western wildfires,
Starting point is 00:11:54 longer heat waves in the southeast, and more powerful Atlantic hurricanes. It says climate change could shrink the US economy by hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century. I love how America always thinks about everything in economic thea th. th. the the the the thuuuu. the the thi. thi. the thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haa, to haa, to haa, to ha, to ha, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thuu-a, to thu-a, thu-c-c-up, thu. the U.S. economy by hundreds of billions of dollars by the end of the century. I love how America always thinks about everything in economic terms. Like even when they talk about the end of the world, they say, climate change is going to kill everybody, and that's going to cost us like a billion dollars. But this is big news. Thirteen agencies.
Starting point is 00:12:18 All part of the Trump administration have released an official report saying that man-made climate change is not only real, but its effects are already here. Yeah, already here. It's like in the movies when someone screams, close the door, we're all going to die, and then the friend turns and they're bleeding, and then I'm they're already dead. I was like, no, you're already dead. I'm out. So if the Trump administration said that man-made climate change is happening, then surely the Trump the Trump the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the Trump. the thi. thi. thi-I's thi-I's thirty. thirty. thirty. th. th. th. th. thi-I's, thi's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

It's th this is what the president said when asked what he thinks of the report. I've seen it. I've read some of it. And it's fine. Yeah, I don't believe it. No, no, I don't believe it. You don't believe it? You don't... How? Fine? How? How can one man possess all the stupidity of mankind? It's like they edited his genes to give him superhuman stupidity?
Starting point is 00:13:17 Like the scientists in the lab were like, what was she giving? Superhuman strength? They're like, oh, that's dangerous to society. No, no, no, no, no. That's it make him really stupid. What's the worst that can can that can that can that can that can that can that can that can that can that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's dangerous to society. No, no, no, no. That's make him really stupid. What's the worst that could happen? So the President of the United States is throwing away four years of scientific work, which is endorsed by his own administration. The question is, what possible reason
Starting point is 00:13:35 with thousands of scientists have to lie about climate change? Well, former Senator Rick Santorum has a theory which he shared on CNN this weekend. If there was no climate change, we'd have a lot of scientists looking for work. The reality is that a lot of these scientists are driven by the money that they receive. And of course, they don't receive money from corporations and Exxon and the like. Why? Because they're not allowed to because it's tainted. But they can receive it from people who have to people who support from people who support from people who support from people who support from people who support from people who support from people who support from people who support the people who support their agenda. Of course, how did we miss it? Climate change is this a scam. It's a scam by scientists trying to get rich.
Starting point is 00:14:07 We should have known when we saw them bowling in those Gucci lab codes with a diamond and crust of beakers, making it rain test tubes in the club. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Oh, and it wasn't just Rick Santorum. After this report came out, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. th. th. tho, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to.

We need to also recognize that we just had two of the coldest years, the biggest drop in global temperatures that we've had since the 1980s, the biggest in the last hundred years. From the standpoint of those who have doubts about this and I don't think we can have any doubts that there is the the the tho tho tho the the the the the the is the is the is climate the is climate their the is climate their the is climate the. the. the. the. the. theateateateate. the. theateateate. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.

I's the the the the the thean thean toean toean toean toean toean. toean. toean. toean toean. teauuu. teau. the. And I don't think we can have any doubts that there is climate change, whether it's anthropogenic, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I'm not a scientist. I look at this as a citizen. Okay. Once you say I'm not a scientist, why is anyone listening to your scientific opinion? I look at this as a citizen. We'll get the fuck out of, but I'm not a doctor, I think you're fine. Trust me, I would not be like, oh you're not a doctor? No, no, carry
Starting point is 00:15:11 on, carry on, yeah. Tell me your thoughts on my health. And here does the news keep bringing on non-scientists to argue against science? I mean, CNN pays Rick Santorum to come on and talk that shit. This woman's group has gotten funding from oil companies. So why is the news having these climate deniers on? Like, why would you do that? Because think of it, think of it this way. When Moripovich brings someone on, if the DNA test says you are the father, then that's it. The science has spoken. He doesn't go, all right, we've done the DNA test, but in your opinion, Lavar, why are you not the father? Because he knows dudes would be like, well, first of all, because it's expensive, and second,
Starting point is 00:15:58 oh, look at that baby's that. So all I'm saying is American American American American you should respect science as much as Moripovitch does. We'll be right back. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about the election earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls?
Starting point is 00:16:26 We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. of big big big low big big low that's all that we are made of big big big love big that's all that we are please welcome will I am Please welcome, Will I Am! I am! Welcome to the show. It's good to be here. You know what's amazing for me is, whether it's when I see you the way you dress, the technology
Starting point is 00:17:34 that you employ, you always seem like somebody who's going into the future. You know what's amazing for me is whether it's, when I see you the way you dress, the technology that you employ, you always seem like somebody who's going into the future. But with this album, and I mean this as the best compliment possible, it feels like the black thee's the past, right? This album, masters of the sun, it feels like we're going back to where is the love. Was the the the the the the the the to, it, it, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, th, to, that, that, to, that, to, to, to, to, too, the, thi, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, the, they.a, they.a, they.a, the the the the the the the, they.a, the the the they.a, is, is, is, is, is, is has that feeling. Was this a conscious effort to go back to what made the Black IPs? Yeah, so this is our 20 years of being like a professional group that signed to a label. And so we wanted to reflect on like the, you know, the stage that we were at when we were just dreaming and finally got that record deal. And so that's like organic sounds, you know, and you know, trying to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the sounds, you know, and, you know, trying to make
Starting point is 00:18:28 our 22-year-old proud. Right. Like, you know, the 22-year-old version of ourselves, they need to know, like, lyrically, you can't mess with us. Right. When you watch, when you watch that video, I mean, you hear the lyrics and you see what you're talking about. The imagery is clear. You're looking at the Border Patrol. You're looking at people who are immigrants trying to get into a country. You have lyrics about America and its love for guns and how people would prefer guns over children. I mean, these are messages that are not uncontroversial. You know, these are ideas that you have chosen to go with. Why did you feel like that was something important for you guys to do?
Starting point is 00:19:05 You know, Where's the Love? The song that we wrote back in 2001 was about 9-11. And Where's the love is the reason why, you know, we have careers today. Because we talked about a hard subject where we question where the love was. How is that possible that somebody would think of doing something to hurt people, deliberately hurt people and send planes to buildings, like the consciousness of that, like why is that possible? And so we wanted to address like today's problems, like how is it that we can support the
Starting point is 00:19:39 right to have military weapons but put our kids in harm's way. Why can't we fight for our kids to have military weapons, but put our kids in harm's way. Why can't we fight for our kids to have a safe haven and have the best education in America and protect our future to where we're, you know, developing and mentoring them and sending them off so we could lead tomorrow? That's not the case. Our Department of Education does not have the funding that companies are putting in artificial intelligence. So that means AI has more funding than HI. And at the same time as you're doing that,
Starting point is 00:20:14 you know, we're not putting strict gun laws to have just like background checks on individuals to have military weapons. Like, I don't care how much money you got, you can't go out and buy and stealth bomber and flex like, you know I'm about to go to London, I'm you can't do that. There's laws put in place where you can go out and buy a stealth bomber, but you can go out and buy an AR, you could go out and buy military weapons and then just kill people. Like I don't understand how, I don't repetitively how many people have, throwns, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they. they. I they me me, they. I'm they.e.e. I'm theylunneneuu. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I'm have how many mass shootings that we had in America this year Like America not the places where people are coming from, you know to be in America our schools Have mass shootings right like how is that why is that America and that's something you speak about in the album? That's something you speak about in the lyrics the group has gotten back together. It feels organic. It feels like? It's that? It's of the world? that? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Why is that? Why is that, why is that, why is that, why is in the album, that's something you speak about in the lyrics. The group has gotten back together.
Starting point is 00:21:05 It feels organic. It feels like it's of the world that we're living in now. You have always been someone who exists in the music, around the music, with the music, music adjacent. Like the new tour that you've got coming up, for instance. Just describing it seems like it's everything for the senses. I mean, you have augmented reality, you have an interactive experience that is a tour, that is an album. What does that even mean?
Starting point is 00:21:30 What is the AR part of the tour going to be? Yeah, so I was, when you're on stage and you're seeing the people in the crowd and they're watching the show with the phone in the air, I'm like, why is it so important for people to have the phone as their lens and not just do it like it was 1998, let alone 2008. Why is the phone that important? So I was like, you know what, let's, instead of saying, everybody put down your phones while I rock these lyrics right now, I want you to really pay attention to my like, acrobatical capabilities. So we're like, we're going to have a layer of augmented reality which means there's space between me and you right now. So I could augment this
Starting point is 00:22:10 entire show to we're now making rhyme to reason for the phone. So now you can interact, you could throw hearts at us, you can see a spaceship come and like take us away to another land. So when you, we do the show. So now you're gonna be on the phone so you can pay attention to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the their their their their their their their their their their their their their you we do the show. So now you're gonna be on stage and you'll be like, yo, I need everyone to pull out their phones so you can pay attention to my lyricop. You know, this is the part, it's the part where you're gonna really like this. But you don't have always really loved about Will I am, as a human and as an idea is that you've always been intrigued by where humans are going with technology into the future. You know, you've done a lot of work with AI. AI is something
Starting point is 00:22:48 that terrifies many people. They always say they're coming for your jobs. The robots get smart and then they take our jobs, right? You have a different idea of what AI is supposed to be. What is that? Well, it's the fourth industrial revolution. For those, or just passively, just walking through life, we are in a new catapult to a different stage of humanity and society. Just like we were in 1918, where there were people that were like afraid that electricity would electrocute you. All the candlestick makers are like, yo, they're about to bring light bulbs in this place.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Like, we've been,'re about to bring light bulbs in this place. Like, my grandfather's been making light, the candlesticks for like, ever, like, just think about the fears that were like getting behind a machine because the horse and buggy was the business that you were in. Like, there was, the people were afraid about the car. Think about the fears of like, you the fear, the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like of like, you know, taking aluminum to be able to catapult people across the Atlantic. People are afraid of flight. So here we are 2019.
Starting point is 00:23:51 It's right around the corner. You have it all in your phone. You have a Siri, you have your Google. OK, Google, you have your Alexa. Like, Dodgers just Pac-Man right now. To be able to tell Siri, need directions to the airport. Specifically, if you make a right when you're supposed to make a left, it recalculates, it gets you there and tells you the ETA when you're about to do that. Right. What we're about to experience
Starting point is 00:24:12 is like, yo, I want to weigh 175 by y, z, elemental p, later on, and like, it would give you direction right now. You don't have that. Wait, so you believe, and you want us to get to a point where AI is genuine, like, it doesn't feel like a, like a robot assistant, but like a friend who's on your phone, telling you how to lose weight and make money. I don't think it's gonna, I don't think it's gonna be, those are just like basic things that it's gonna be able. But it's gonna be natural is what you're saying. We are all missing a part of us, that we are all gonna have 20 years from now.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I don't have my AI. The AI have access to is a company's AI. That's the first time is is is is is is is is is is is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not is not. my iOS. Fact is your iOS, your Google, your Facebook knows more about you in your life than your family knows about you in your life. It's the first time where companies have more money than governments, religion, kingdoms, for giving you something for free. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:16 When's the last time free equaled hundreds of billions of dollars, by the way? Right, so why is that? Information is always king. We are about to experience the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, theeileileilets, thiioleilets, thioliolioliolioliesiesies, thiolid, thioliolioliolies, that's that's that's that's thoes, thoes, information is always king. We are about to experience the DID, which is the data independence day, to break apart the data monarchies that are exist, that exists right now in society. So you're telling me I'm going to become my own Facebook? No, no, no. And then I'm going to... Facebook will be Facebook. What you're going to have is your AI. Like you have your immune system, you have your digestive. the Di. the ID. the ID. the ID, the ID, the D ID, which ID, which the D ID, which the D ID ID ID, which the D. the D. the DID. the DID. the DID. the DID. the DIDID. the DIDIDIDi, which the D. the D. the D. the D. the D. the D. the D. the D. the D. the D. the D. the D.

Like you have your immune system, you have your digestive system. What you don't have is your information digital system that's yours.
Starting point is 00:25:53 You don't have that. You don't have that right now. This person is just like living it. Do you ever get frustrated living with the rest of us? No, I'm just, I, I, I, Ito figure out what I'm eating tonight, and you're like, you're telling me that I need my own AI. I'm impressed that the microwave can just do it in a minute. Like, I'm impressed, like now that the microwave has that new thing, it's just like a minute and it's like warm up and it's like warm up. You're, you, you, you, you, you, and it, you, and it, and it, and it, you, and it, you, and it, you, th. And it, you, th. And it's, you, you, th, th, you, th, th, th, you, you, th, th, you, you, th.

Starting point is 00:26:25 Are you, do you know what I mean? It feels like your mind is where we aren't? No, so I'm from the projects. I'm born and raised, poor, sitting in the welfare line, sitting in the free cheese line. And what got me out of that is thinking of a better tomorrow. And tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thoo, I I I I I I I I thoomorrow, thoomorrow, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, tha, to, tha, thau, thau. thau. thau. thaui, thauiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thauu. thau. thau. thau. tomorrow. And that better tomorrow, I designed me right now by thinking outside of my limitations, outside of the statistics that they thought I was going to become.
Starting point is 00:26:50 So how did I do that? That's how it's always in the future. The album is in the present. Masters of the Sun, volume one is available now. Will I am, everybody.
