MEMORIAL DAY MARATHON
  • The pretend they had broadcast media at the time of these battles and wars.
  • One reporter John Daily is at every single battle and war and important historical event in this marathon. It was very creative and innovative the way they produced them.
  • The series was called YOU ARE THERE.
  • The people that wrote them were very even handed which I particularly liked.
  • They didn’t treat the Southerns as racists, hick weirdos.
6:20am IRAN CONFLICT
  • This time there will be no peace until they all join Trump’s Abraham Accords.
  • I didn’t hear that in the beginning of all of this.
  • In the beginning it was just “Iran can’t have a nuke.”
6:26am HEADLINE: Beauty, Freedom, And Europe by Rod Dreher
  • In Dreher’s piece he links back to this article by Owen.
  • We will spend some time on this article today.
HEADLINE: The Dead Economy Theory by Owen McGrann
  • In their words there is an inedibility to it. That is how they talk. They are mentioning about a 70% unemployment.
  • But don’t worry the machines will figure out other jobs for you to have.
  • I think most people when they hear this about AI they throw their hands up and say…NOPE.
  • Supposedly we will have orbiting AI data centers in space with no humans on them at all.
  • We can’t get repair models in space to fix a space station but you are going to build an entire AI  facility in space? How will it generate its own electricity?
  • The AI takeover lunatics, I think this is preternaturally guided here.

SEGMENT 2

6:46am FRANK WRIGHT
  • You know he is one of our beloved guests. He is absolutely brilliant.
  • You can even read him at LifeSite News now.
  • If you haven’t seen this interview, it is well worth the 13 minutes.
HEADLINE: The Makerfield Moment by Frank Wright AUDIO/VIDEO: Frank Wright Interviewed by Vox PopuliWe can see the state of the nation and there is a national emergency. What kind of country are we going to have for our children? I don’t want a market, a borderless  international market run by mutually hostile strangers. We need to save the nation. You can see there is obviously the bankruptcy of the idea. You can’t escape the fact we seem to be morally and financially bankrupt. The whole system is in a form of crisis. Normal life has been replaced by a permanent state of emergency. There are no realistic solutions offered and in terms of who you vote for the same mad policies continue throughout your life and that is what I have seen the last 30 years. And if it goes on we are finished. Finished is economic collapse. Finished looks like not getting a job even when you are competent. Something has to change. This will only get worse unless we change the system. This hasn’t produced the utopia that was promised. There are people of genuine principle and talent in this country.
  • We all know and feel something, everything really has gone off the rails.
  • When people, normal people outside of our circle hear what we have to say, they listen.
  • When Elon retweeted this interview then people started to look Frank Wright up to find out where he has been.
  • It is a fascinating thing to watch.
  • This interview progresses and then he starts talking about Trump. That is where the MAGA people lose their minds.
  • There are 43.6M views of this video on Elon’s X.
  • We have gotten heard. Our ideas and our point of view has found an audience!
  • This is what is so interesting about all of this and worth keeping an eye on, does it have legs?
  • If they go after him, then you know it has legs.
  • Frank has a military past and he doesn’t talk about it.
  • Will they go after him?
  • Will they try to cancel him?
  • What is the solution to all of this, all of this madness?
  • Millions of us worldwide, especially in the West, realise the old system isn’t working – for us.
  • This is a key point. He talks about living in a system where HE is the product.
6:57am MONETIZING YOUTH SPORTS
  • Travel baseball –
  • How many of you have ever been in a bowling league?
  • It is a community thing, most are really just there to hang out with your friends.

7:14am HEADLINE: The Makerfield Moment by Frank Wright
  • The Line Goes Up whilst we all go down, and so does everything of value in our lives. This moment is one in which we are realising how the way our economics and politics have ruled us has also impoverished us. We are sick of being lectured by grifters who monetise the ruin of our lives, selling us false hope with empty slogans, and going on to fill the pockets of their friends.
  • This way of doing business has left us in poverty in terms of money and meaning, and the old system has no solutions because it is itself the cause of all these problems.
  • Economy – If it views our people as replaceable and human life as something to be bought or discarded as a matter of convenience then we are for the purposes of the economy and nothing more.
  • Remember Brion McClanahan talked about Catholic Confessional State, a graphic I made a while back…why don’t we go back to this?
  • We had this and people by in large were happy right?
  • So what happened?
  • I agree with Frank, the only place to go from here is down.
  • You can’t be part of this game without being a sycophant.
  • Ron Paul quit in 2012.
  • Thomas Massie has the best record on Constitutional issues but according to MAGA ‘he got what he deserved’.
  • Maybe all good men should get what they deserve then.
  • Is that the REAL point here? If you aren’t down to sell your soul you have no place here.
7:24am HEADLINE: The Dead Economy Theory by Owen McGrann
  • It’s utterly desiccating to log onto spaces seeking a live mind to joust and think with, and find a relentless stream of slop. Promised an age of superconnectivity, we’ve let our shared physical spaces wither, only to find our promised digital commons to be one large billboard increasingly read and created by bots.
  • The ruling elites made it a policy that you are irrelevant.
  • When you approach an online retailer, or you are greeted with a WELCOME then insert your name, you are really greeted with AI algorithm.
7:28am AUDIO/VIDEO: Christopher Olah Anthropic Co-FounderWe find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief and unease.
  • Now introspect is a HUMAN emotion so how can a computer program show human emotions?
  • It can’t.
  • But it can emulate human characteristics.
  • Have you tried to use AI?
  • I have used it on several occasions.
  • It has been programed through its learning to MIMICK joy. It is not capable of actual joy. It is a technology.
  • This is where most people are missing the whole thing.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
  • Pope Leo XIV Encyclical
  • AI does not have God at the center of it.
  • Like the Tower of Babel it is doomed to fail.
  • Assume  the technology works as advertised, that AI systems become capable of performing most cognitive labor at a fraction of the cost of human workers. What happens next?
AUDIO/VIDEO: Christopher Olah Anthropic Co-FounderWe find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief and unease.
  • Bear in mind where this man is talking, he is in the Vatican.
  • He is there telling the Catholic Church, the oldest institution, he is asking for help. He does’t know what is happening, he doesn’t know where to go from here. To me this is a plea for help from the oldest institution.
  • Is this him acknowledging there is a God? Most of these AI scientists are agnostic or atheists.
7:40am 7:50am BACK TO OWEN’S ARTICLE
  • As we’re getting excited about discovering how to use claude.md files in Cowork, the industry is pitching a different reality. Every investor presentation of an AI agent “doing the work of ten analysts” is telling you the same thing: the product is labor replacement. The gentler language (”copilot,” “assistant,” “augmentation”) is marketing. The financial model underneath requires the elimination of human cost centers at civilizational scale. If it doesn’t do that, these companies are the most overvalued assets in the history of capitalism. The people writing the checks are not in the habit of lighting trillions of dollars on fire for a better autocomplete and an endless proliferation of longer and longer memos that nobody reads.
  • So if AI is successful you are going to eliminate 80% of white collar jobs.
  • Why would any human agree to this?
  • Do we not get a vote in this?
  • Let’s follow the money through 3 turns with Owen.
  • 1. Turn One – a company licenses AI to replace a significant portion of its workforce. Costs drop. Margins expand. The stock price goes up. Everyone on the earnings call is happy. 
  • 2. Turn Two – the replaced workers stop earning income. They cut spending. The businesses they used to patronize see revenue decline. Some of those businesses also adopt AI to cut costs, compounding the displacement. Consumer demand contracts across the economy.
  • 3. Turn Three – the company that fired its workers to save money discovers that its customers were, in aggregate, other companies’ workers. Revenue growth stalls. The AI subscription that was supposed to be an investment in efficiency turns out to be a contribution to the destruction of its own market.
  • See how this is working?
  • There will be few people left working so no one has income anymore so how will the white collar worker be able to afford the ‘stuff’ AI is doing?
  • Better AI makes this worse. Improved productivity widens the profit gap from automating faster than your competitors, intensifying the arms race toward collective ruin.
  • Henry Ford understood, perhaps apocryphally but correctly in principle, that his workers needed to earn enough to buy his cars. The AI economy is eliminating the workers and expecting the cars to keep selling, except that software has near-zero marginal cost, so the entire value proposition is the elimination of the human cost center. The product is the removal of the customer base.

8:18am BACK TO OWEN ARTICLE
  • The economist Wassily Leontief saw this coming in 1983 when he compared human labor to horses. The US horse population grew from nine million in 1840 to twenty-one million by 1900, seemingly immune to technological change. Within sixty years of the internal combustion engine, the population collapsed by eighty-eight percent. The horses weren’t retired out of malice. They became uneconomical to keep. Leontief’s point was that there is no economic law preventing the same thing from happening to humans.
  • I was shocked by this horse number.
  • So what happens to us humans? 
  • Who is the customer when the customer is the thing you’ve eliminated?
  • This is precisely what Frank Wright was talking about in his little interview.
8:26am* AUDIO/VIDEO: Frank Wright Interviewed by Vox PopuliWe can see the state of the nation and there is a national emergency. What kind of country are we going to have for our children? I don’t want a market, a borderless  international market run by mutually hostile strangers. We need to save the nation. You can see there is obviously the bankruptcy of the idea.

This will only get worse unless we change the system. This hasn’t produced the utopia that was promised. There are people of genuine principle and talent in this country.
  • You attach people to a slogan, you give us all hope then you don’t deliver on anything.
  • That is EXACTLY what Trump has done with MAGA.
  • Frank Wright just described it precisely!
  • What could this ‘higher purpose’ be that he is speaking about?

AUDIO/VIDEO: Rep Thomas Massie on Meet The PressThey used artificial intelligence to create a lifelike video of me checking into a hotel room with AOC and Ilhan Omar holding hands with them. It was very effective on the boomers. But that’s only gonna work for a little bit longer….the boomers are going to leave this country to Get X, Get Z, millennials, and those around you the folks that I won overwhelmingly and that makes me hopeful for this country. They won this race by fooling voters and expanding this race to the uniformed voters.
  • By the way get used to this.
  • If you are like me and you changed your voter registration to unaffiliated or to Libertarian, they are going to start fear mongering.
  • It just doesn’t matter who you vote for you get the exact same result.
8:50am AUDIO/VIDEO: Megyn Kelly w/ the Hodgetwins – MAGA Now Delusional – It’s stunning to me that the people who voted for the man who said over and over not only on new wars, but no war with Iran, that those people on a dime were like yes!! we’re pro war with Iran, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It’s so obvious that’s a lie to get us into this conflict. They were not on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.Truly you don’t have to do a lot of fact checking. They were nowhere close. You’d have to be willing to delude yourself to go along with that. AUDIO/VIDEO:  Megyn Kelly w/ the HodgetwinsYou know, his base really is his. And I think it’s disrespectful to call them cult members. But they do have the same kind of loyalty as that where it’s like in Trump we trust and he can do no wrong. And I get that. You know, they’ve been burned by a lot of other politicians. They felt like Trump got them at a time when everybody was ignoring them. They feel a deep sense of loyalty. MAGA is NOT what it was. MAGA is now this very , small group of Trump diehard loyalists who have to love Mark Levin. And so that’s by definition an increasingly tiny group. I guess I’ve been surprised to see how quickly MAGA shrunk down to something less formidable, by far, than it used to be.
  • I differ a little with Megyn, this is a cult.
  • The leader of the cult must be glorified and right at all times no matter what.
  • Where are you to go?
  • There is a lot invested here.
  • They are sticking with who brought them to the dance.
8:57am 9:05am BACK TO OWEN ARTICLE
  • Who is paying for all this AI?
  • We are the human citizens.
  • Who benefits from the creation of AI?
  • Not the humans that will lose their jobs.
  • Why are people accepting it?
  • I want these AI companies to go bankrupt. They get NOTHING no subsidies and it should be illegal for public trading.
  • If Kevin O’Leary thinks this is the future, he should invest all of HIS money into it. Not government subsidies and not the states money.
  • The CEO of one of the three leading AI companies is telling you that the technology he is building will undermine the material basis of democratic governance. He sees the problem. He is building the thing that causes it. His company has not endorsed a single piece of legislation to address it. When asked about policy advocacy, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark described it as “the end of a very, very long chain of work.”
  • Autocracies are better customers for this technology than democracies, which is precisely why the broligarchy has rapidly shifted its support behind Trump and MAGA. A democratic government that deploys AI to replace its workforce faces electoral consequences. An authoritarian government faces no such constraint and gains a surveillance and control dividend on top of the economic efficiencies. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Singapore: vast capital, centralized decision-making, no electorate to answer to, and an active interest in technologies of control. This is one of the motivating factors in the Valley’s latching on to Trump: he and his cronies can be bought, and as importantly, they have no loyalty to democracy. The economic incentives for AI companies point toward the entities with the fewest democratic accountability mechanisms.
  • This explains why no one has been arrested, they are partners now.
  • Why do we accept a market in which my labor is the expendable product?
  • “What happens when the market decides my skills are worthless?” is the question every human should be asking.
