Speaker 1: I got a lot to tell you about. It won't
Speaker 1: take a lot of time, and trust me, it is
Speaker 1: worth your time. Today we're talking about the most dangerous
Speaker 1: corporation in the world, Palenteer.
Speaker 2: I feel like that Antichrist would maybe be using the
Speaker 2: tools that you were building, right, Like, wouldn't the Antichrist
Speaker 2: be like, great, you know, we're not going to have
Speaker 2: any more technological progress.
Speaker 1: But I really like what.
Speaker 2: Palenteer has done so far, Right, isn't that a concern?
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be the you know, the irony of history
Speaker 2: would be that the man publicly worrying about the Antichrist
Speaker 2: accidentally hastens his or her arrival.
Speaker 3: They are all these different scenario. I obviously don't think
Speaker 3: that that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 4: We live in our peaceful environments, and they need to
Speaker 4: wake up scared and go to bed scared. They want
Speaker 4: to know they're safe, and safe means that the other
Speaker 4: person is scared.
Speaker 1: They want to know they're safe, and the only way
Speaker 1: to be safe is for the other person to be scared.
Speaker 1: Said every psychopathic, war mongering, neo con techno fascist that's
Speaker 1: ever walked the earth. Are you all concerned that you
Speaker 1: might be giving rise to the Antichrist, or at least
Speaker 1: handing the tools over to the Antichrist, or perhaps creating
Speaker 1: the tools that the Antichrist would want to utilize, and
Speaker 1: therefore maybe you are in fact him. I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm doing that. Full cards on the table. I went
Speaker 1: into this not really sure how I felt about Palanteer,
Speaker 1: as you guys know, well maybe you don't know. For
Speaker 1: those that are new here, I'm a libertarian. My starting
Speaker 1: point is always I don't trust the government. Therefore corporations
Speaker 1: kind of take a back seat to that. That's not
Speaker 1: to say that I will defend every corporation on Earth,
Speaker 1: just that they're not usually on my radar. What put
Speaker 1: Palenteer on my radar is its incestuous relationship with the government.
Speaker 1: In the aftermath of nine to eleven, there was a
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of concern about security, needless to say, and
Speaker 1: the War on Terror was raging on, and the Patriot
Speaker 1: Act was being drafted and passed, and there was a
Speaker 1: consensus that attack may have been able to be stopped
Speaker 1: if only there had been better communication between I mean,
Speaker 1: the intel agencies. Incomes Palenteer. In nineteen ninety eight, Peter Teal,
Speaker 1: along with Elon Musk and others, founded PayPal by two
Speaker 1: thousand and three. Peter Thiel was a very wealthy man.
Speaker 1: I believe he had walked away with somewhere in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood of fifty to one hundred million dollars in his
Speaker 1: cash out at that time. So by two thousand and
Speaker 1: three he's got this idea. The government is terribly inefficient,
Speaker 1: as evidenced by their failures that led to the attacks
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven. How about a private corporation fills
Speaker 1: that gap and fill that gap they did. In two
Speaker 1: thousand and three. Pallenteer was founded with approximately thirty million
Speaker 1: dollars of Peter Teal's own money. But there was another
Speaker 1: minority stake that most people overlooked but actually means everything.
Speaker 1: It was two million dollars from.
Speaker 5: Q The origin of inq Tel, the CIA's investment division,
Speaker 5: traces back to former agency director George Tennant. The goal
Speaker 5: investing technologies that will serve US national security interests in
Speaker 5: three man categories, software, infrastructure, and material sciences. So how
Speaker 5: much cash's inqutel investing? Well, the firm has at least
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty million in government dollars to deploy
Speaker 5: every year. Some of its notable investments include Google, which
Speaker 5: it since divested from, Pollunteer, which was founded by Peter Teel,
Speaker 5: in Data Bricks, which is one of the most valuable
Speaker 5: private tech companies. As of twenty sixteen, the company had
Speaker 5: three hundred and twenty five investments and kept one hundred
Speaker 5: of them secret. According to The Washington Post, any US
Speaker 5: entrepreneur working on ways to analyze data better has probably
Speaker 5: gotten a phone call from Kutel.
Speaker 1: So you probably saying to yourself, But Clint Teal put
Speaker 1: in thirty million, mqtel put in two million. Is that
Speaker 1: really that big of a deal? Turns out, yeah, it
Speaker 1: actually kind of is. As a consequence of them funding
Speaker 1: about seven percent of the startup capital, q tel also
Speaker 1: created the contact list four Teal and Palenteer that enabled
Speaker 1: them to basically get started. Without their relationship to the government,
Speaker 1: they would have floundered and flopped. In fact, for the
Speaker 1: first decade of their existence, almost all of their contracts
Speaker 1: came from the federal government. Now full cards on the table,
Speaker 1: I want to root for Peter Teel. He is a
Speaker 1: self avowed libertarian who talked about sea steading and bitcoin
Speaker 1: and all sorts of things that I like a lot.
Speaker 1: So I just want you to be aware of my bias.
Speaker 1: I approach this topic wanting to find nothing. I wanted
Speaker 1: to come away going well, yeah, I mean, the technology
Speaker 1: kind of concerns me, but at least there's a libertarian
Speaker 1: that's running it, so I guess I can sleep easy
Speaker 1: at night. Tragically, that's not what I found. My only
Speaker 1: duty is to the truth and to human liberty. Palenteer, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: is a major threat to both. Incomes.
Speaker 4: Alex Karp, we partner with the very best in the world,
Speaker 4: and when it's necessary to scare enemies and on occasion
Speaker 4: kill them. I don't think in win Leeves. I think
Speaker 4: in domination. This is a company built for bad times.
Speaker 4: Bad times means strong finances. Internally, bad times are very
Speaker 4: good for Palentier because we built products that are robust,
Speaker 4: that are built for danger.
Speaker 1: Pallunteer is built for bad times, and he ain't lying.
Speaker 1: If you look at their stock price, he's definitely not lying.
Speaker 1: They are crushing I guess that's the advantage of us
Speaker 1: being on the cusp of World War three, with the
Speaker 1: proxy war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza and
Speaker 1: countless other wars, the bombing campaign against Iran, and goodness gracious,
Speaker 1: So how did my sweet, sweet libertarian Peter Teel end
Speaker 1: up in such a predicament? Well, unfortunately his roommate at
Speaker 1: Stanford Law was Alex carb. Now let me be clear,
Speaker 1: I am not removing culpability from deal who. After deep
Speaker 1: diving this topic for the past thirty days, I've come
Speaker 1: to the conclusion that can't really trust him either. However,
Speaker 1: there is something particularly jarring about mister Carp.
Speaker 4: Americans are the most loving, god fearing, fair, least discriminatory
Speaker 4: people on the planet, and they want to know that
Speaker 4: if you're waking up and thinking about harming American citizens,
Speaker 4: or if American citizens are taken hostage and kept in dungeons,
Speaker 4: or if you're a foreign power sending fetanyhl to poison
Speaker 4: our people, something really bad is going to happen to
Speaker 4: you and your friends and your cousins and your bank
Speaker 4: account and your mistress and whoever was involved. We need
Speaker 4: to stand up and those people need to be scared.
Speaker 1: Those people need to be scared. It's just that simple.
Speaker 1: But you'll notice a slip there. He said that they
Speaker 1: would go after your friends. So people that commit these
Speaker 1: terrible acts, they'll go after your friends and your mistress.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know about you, but that's pretty disturbing
Speaker 1: to me, and particularly given that he's talking about the
Speaker 1: war in Gaza, I think it's very indicative of where
Speaker 1: his loyalties lie. And I'll let you decide for yourself
Speaker 1: where that may be. Alex does these incredible flowery diatribes
Speaker 1: about the West and defending the West, because.
Speaker 4: The most important thing, in my view that can happen
Speaker 4: for the preservation of the West and its values is
Speaker 4: for the US military to be by far the best.
Speaker 1: In the world. And as a member of the West
Speaker 1: and someone who does think that the West is superior
Speaker 1: in terms of culture and governance and the people I
Speaker 1: love the West, I would like to maintain it. That
Speaker 1: does not mean that I am willing to become the
Speaker 1: monsters he seeks to slay. And the defense he gives
Speaker 1: is so similar to the defense that I see Dave
Speaker 1: Smith contending with constantly that it's a moral equivalency. It
Speaker 1: is a moral equivalency to even compare the pain and
Speaker 1: suffering of the Palestinians and contrasts that with the Israelis
Speaker 1: because well, their culture is not as good. That essentially
Speaker 1: there is no limit to the death and destruction that
Speaker 1: can be brought to bear against people that are not
Speaker 1: as good as us, which is eerily reminiscent of George W. Bush.
Speaker 1: You're either with us or you're with the terrorists.
Speaker 6: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.
Speaker 6: From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor
Speaker 6: or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States
Speaker 6: is a hostile regime. There's no negotiations, there's no calendar.
Speaker 6: We'll act on our time.
Speaker 1: After watching hours of Alex Karp interviews, I have come
Speaker 1: to the conclusion that this man is deeply paranoid. It's
Speaker 1: almost as if his worldview is trapped within two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, the founding of pallenteer as if we just
Speaker 1: got hit with the largest terrorist attack ever in our history,
Speaker 1: and he hasn't evolved at all, despite the fact that
Speaker 1: on the homeland we haven't had an attack in over
Speaker 1: twenty years, at least not to that scale.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 7: Oh, time I've bin laden.
Speaker 4: You know. I'll tell you the closest thing to an
Speaker 4: answer is when you open the paper and look in
Speaker 4: the news about these kind of things. There's a two
Speaker 4: thirds chance, depending on the country involved, that somehow my
Speaker 4: company was involved.
Speaker 1: I mean, really think about what he just said there.
Speaker 1: Any time you open a newspaper, two thirds of all
Speaker 1: of the stories that you read abroad probably had something
Speaker 1: to do with Palatier. Now, maybe that's marketing spend, and
Speaker 1: maybe it's not. Maybe that's actually how invasive this company
Speaker 1: has become and how deeply embedded in the military industrial
Speaker 1: complex they now are.
Speaker 4: If you do not feel comfortable supporting the legitimate efforts
Speaker 4: of America and its allies in the context of war,
Speaker 4: don't join palenteerf created the system which you call kill
Speaker 4: chain privately. Publicly, the lawyers have some innocuous sound like
Speaker 4: check for the Amelioration of unwanted blah blah blah, some
Speaker 4: term we're supposed to be.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's for me, it's the kill chain. Kill chain
Speaker 1: sounds good. The other conclusion you come to about mister
Speaker 1: Karp after studying him for a while is that he's
Speaker 1: not just comfortable with violence. He seems to enjoy it,
Speaker 1: to revel in it.
Speaker 4: Quicker and better and safer and more violent disruption at
Speaker 4: the end of the day exposes things that aren't working.
Speaker 4: There'll be ups and downs, there's a revolution, some people
Speaker 4: get their heads cut off, Like you know, it's like
Speaker 4: we're expecting to see really unexpected things and to win.
Speaker 1: So if you're not comfortable supporting both America and our
Speaker 1: allies when it comes to war specifically, you should not
Speaker 1: join Palenteer, which ought to draw you to the conclusion
Speaker 1: that in fact this is not just a standard run
Speaker 1: of the mill Fortune one hundred corporation, but in fact,
Speaker 1: this corporation is dedicated to war fighting. Now, perhaps that
Speaker 1: wouldn't be so concerning if it was only used abroad,
Speaker 1: despite the fact that it would still concern me. But
Speaker 1: for most Americans, it's out of sight, out of mind.
Speaker 1: But the unfortunate reality is that in fact, Pallenteer and
Speaker 1: its technology is being used domestically and increasingly so. Now,
Speaker 1: before I get into that, let's talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about the technology that they have. As he described the
Speaker 1: kill chain.
Speaker 8: Can you imagine if chat GPT decided whether or not
Speaker 8: you lived or died. It's terrifying to consider. Unfortunately, it's
Speaker 8: more than just a hypothetical question, it's a reality. Nine
Speaker 8: to seven to two magazine discovered that this AI program
Speaker 8: isn't just a theoretical concept, it actually exists. It's called
Speaker 8: Lavender in the Israelis are using it right now in Gaza.
Speaker 1: So how does Lavender work. Well, it's a machine learning
Speaker 1: algorithm which essentially takes in a bunch of battlefield data
Speaker 1: as well as surveillance data. It combines the two and
Speaker 1: then it pushes it through an artificial intelligence analyst to
Speaker 1: replace the human analysts that would have done that historically,
Speaker 1: and then it just does it in real time to
Speaker 1: give them targets in real time on the battlefield, all
Speaker 1: predicated off of artificial intelligence. Here's the really scary thing
Speaker 1: about it. According to nine seven to two magazine who
Speaker 1: did this study, they have a ten percent mis rate,
Speaker 1: as in, like, we got it wrong, oops, innocent guy
Speaker 1: and his entire family. Because the way these bombing runs
Speaker 1: happen is that they actually target the father the suspected terrorist,
Speaker 1: until he goes home, so he is there at home
Speaker 1: with his family, his kids, whatever, whatever, and in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night they drop the bomb.
Speaker 8: Lavender is used in conjunction with another program known as
Speaker 8: the Gospel. Lavender identifies and targets people it believes to
Speaker 8: be suspected militants. The Gospel identifies and targets buildings it
Speaker 8: believes to be used by suspected militants.
Speaker 1: Now, depending on which resource you trust, there's a very
Speaker 1: wide range of estimates as to the deaths of innocence
Speaker 1: that have happened in Gaza since the war began twenty
Speaker 1: months ago. Some people say it's thirty thousand, Some people
Speaker 1: say it's forty or fifty or even sixty thousand. Some
Speaker 1: people say it's higher. Obviously, the idea of says it's lower,
Speaker 1: but they don't give you a real number, so who knows. Regardless,
Speaker 1: the answer is a lot more than zero, like a
Speaker 1: lot more than zero. In fact, in twenty fifteen, Vollunteer
Speaker 1: opened up an office space in Tel Aviv, so they
Speaker 1: actually have operations that run out of Israel. In Ukraine,
Speaker 1: the collaboration between Palenteer and Starlink starkly illustrates the profound
Speaker 1: impact of integrated technology on warfare. Pallenteer's AI models provide
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian military with essential data analytics, transforming raw images
Speaker 1: from drone satellites and ground reports into real time actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: This process, which Pallunteer's CEO Karp chillingly refers to as
Speaker 1: a quote digital kill chain end quote has become central
Speaker 1: to Ukraine's defense strategy, enabling precise targeting and battlefield assessments simultaneously.
Speaker 1: Elon musk Starlink ensures uninterrupted communication for Ukrainian forces, maintaining
Speaker 1: a continuous flow of critical information vital for modern warfare. Now,
Speaker 1: with all that being said, there has been massive casualties
Speaker 1: in Ukraine on both sides of that war. There have
Speaker 1: been massive casualties in Gaza. Once again, on both sides
Speaker 1: of that war. However, much more on one side. It
Speaker 1: just so happens that the side that's being devastated right
Speaker 1: now seems to be at the mercy of Palenteer's technology.
Speaker 4: We built PG which single handedly stopped the rise of
Speaker 4: the far right in Europe. We built Foundry, which is
Speaker 4: used to distribute the COVID vaccine and saved millions of
Speaker 4: lives globally. We built what we call multi constellation and
Speaker 4: what's often called the digital kill chain and their category
Speaker 4: defining products.
Speaker 1: So when you deliver these products in the.
Speaker 4: Market, honestly, people say this isn't going to exist. This
Speaker 4: isn't valuable, but then it changes the market, and then
Speaker 4: the market is the Palantier market. Now that doesn't mean
Speaker 4: everyone in the world's going to buy our product, but
Speaker 4: it means most of the sensible people in the world
Speaker 4: are going to buy from the category we defined.
Speaker 1: So he's saying it openly. They use that technology to
Speaker 1: suppress the scare quotes far right in Europe, which far
Speaker 1: right in Europe is basically maga, It's like not far
Speaker 1: right at all. Then he also brags about Foundry, which
Speaker 1: was used to track the COVID rollout, the v rollout,
Speaker 1: and last but not least, the digital kill chain. So
Speaker 1: their entire lineup is just a litany of products I
Speaker 1: don't have any interest in.
Speaker 9: Palenteer is working with the IAEA and is supplying their
Speaker 9: software for use in the IAEA's Mosaic program, and I
Speaker 9: did find this from Bloomberg from twenty eighteen. Peter Teel
Speaker 9: and Palenteer are at the heart of the Iran nuclear
Speaker 9: deal and they talk about the relationship between Palenteer and
Speaker 9: the IAEA and how they are providing their AI whatever
Speaker 9: algorithmic big data analysis software for the IAEA to come
Speaker 9: up with its assessments.
Speaker 1: The question is why.
Speaker 9: Now, well, obviously Israel would take any excuse that they
Speaker 9: can get. But the explicit excuse that appeared on the
Speaker 9: table was this ia EA updated assessment which led to
Speaker 9: the IAEA actually censuring I ran over non cooperation or
Speaker 9: whatever phrase they used. And where did this report come from?
Speaker 9: While it seems, at at least to some extent it
Speaker 9: has been informed by Palenteer data. So yes, there is
Speaker 9: an answer which should be very concerning to all of
Speaker 9: us who are concerned, as you say, at least about
Speaker 9: the specter of Whopper and the war games of the
Speaker 9: future and the ability of some AI enabled assessment to
Speaker 9: send the world plunging into World War three.
Speaker 1: But also so, just as Alex carp bragged about earlier
Speaker 1: about two thirds of every news story you read when
Speaker 1: it comes to international relations, it looks like Palenteer actually
Speaker 1: does have that level of impact. Now, if that's the
Speaker 1: only impact they had, still I think most Americans probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't care. Okay, so a bunch of innocent people are
Speaker 1: getting poo pooed like, well, you know what's new, But
Speaker 1: unfortunately it doesn't stop there. In fact, Peter Teel and
Speaker 1: his fortune partially because of Palenteer is responsible not just
Speaker 1: for monstrous campaign contributions to Donald Trump helped him get
Speaker 1: into the White House and sixteen, but also his hand
Speaker 1: picked guy is Jade Vance, who he cut a check
Speaker 1: of five million dollars for his Senate race. He also
Speaker 1: backed him for the VP slot under Trump this last
Speaker 1: go around. So to say that they have influence is
Speaker 1: to put it mildly. And seeing as I've now noticed
Speaker 1: the connection between Pallenteer and some of these atrocities, I'm
Speaker 1: not the only one that has noticed this. In fact,
Speaker 1: mister carp and mister Teel are being called out for
Speaker 1: their participation in it, and they are not handling this
Speaker 1: line of questioning very well.
Speaker 10: So what do you think about the use of artificial
Speaker 10: intelligence or lavender by the IDF in identifying hamas targets?
Speaker 11: Look, I'm not I'm not, you know, I you know,
Speaker 11: with without without going into all the you know, I'm
Speaker 11: not on top of all the details of us going
Speaker 11: on in Israel because my my bias is to defer
Speaker 11: to Israel.
Speaker 12: It's not for us to second guess every everything. And uh,
Speaker 12: I believe that broadly the IDEF gets to decide what
Speaker 12: it wants to do, and that they're broadly in the right.
Speaker 12: And that's that's sort of the perspective I come back to.
Speaker 1: A few people get wealthy.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and you know, well, if you so, the
Speaker 4: primary source of death in Palestine is the fact that
Speaker 4: Hamas has realized that there are millions and millions of
Speaker 4: useful idiots that will can we get security up there?
Speaker 4: But one of the okay, one of the most okay,
Speaker 4: mostly type Harris, that's true. Okay, if your argument was
Speaker 4: so strong, wouldn't you let me talk? It's so strong,
Speaker 4: it's so strong, it's so strong your argument is that's
Speaker 4: thank you.
Speaker 1: Fortuning for the record, I'm not connecting dots that don't exist.
Speaker 1: Here's a post from Pallenteer just a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: from at Pallunteer Tech on x on October eleventh of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. So, so, just a few days after
Speaker 1: the attacks of October seventh, you have them saying certain
Speaker 1: kinds of evil can only be fought with force. Palunteer
Speaker 1: stands with Israel, so it's not exactly a mystery as
Speaker 1: to which side they stand with, in which side they
Speaker 1: are helping and destroying Now, normally I wouldn't be freaking
Speaker 1: out about all this, but it happens to be that
Speaker 1: the President of the United States and JD. Vance and
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and Speaker Mike Johnson were all at the
Speaker 1: I think it was the super now it was the
Speaker 1: Army Navy game, and on the JumboTron flashed an image
Speaker 1: of these four gentlemen along with the logo of Palanteer.
Speaker 1: Given their connections, that became a quickly iconic photograph. And
Speaker 1: as I keep saying, this is not just a technology
Speaker 1: being used abroad, it is also being used domestically. As
Speaker 1: Elon Musk famously came in to the White House or
Speaker 1: the Administration for a few months and Doge, the Department
Speaker 1: of Governmental Efficiency, was responsible for connecting a lot of
Speaker 1: these dots when it comes to differences between the Treasury, Department,
Speaker 1: the Irs, all of the three letter agencies. Essentially, he
Speaker 1: comes in and he says, we're going to make this
Speaker 1: more efficient. As good as that sounds to me, because
Speaker 1: I am a libertarian and I like small government. I
Speaker 1: like efficient government. If there's a government at all, I'd
Speaker 1: like it to be that small that it doesn't even
Speaker 1: really matter if it's efficient. But if it's going to
Speaker 1: be as large as this thing is and they're going
Speaker 1: to tax me as much as they do, I would
Speaker 1: like them to do a better job. But now that
Speaker 1: I understand exactly what Palanteer does, the fact that that
Speaker 1: is the software that they provide, that they take in
Speaker 1: all of this data, all of our data, and then
Speaker 1: they cross reference it and they make the data usable
Speaker 1: to these three letter agencies which are ultimately in a
Speaker 1: position of power, some of which are in a position
Speaker 1: of power to imprison me, like the irs. And now
Speaker 1: I'm starting to better understand the concerns of the Whitney
Speaker 1: Webs of the world, who has famously been talking about
Speaker 1: this for a very long time. Yeah.
Speaker 13: So Total Information Awareness was defunded by Congress not long
Speaker 13: after it was launched because every mainstream media outlet, the
Speaker 13: ACLU and organizations like it across the board said this
Speaker 13: will end privacy for American It was going to basically
Speaker 13: spy on all Americans Total Information Awareness right and decide
Speaker 13: who was going to commit a crime before it happened. Yes,
Speaker 13: terror attacks before it happened, bioterror, even pandemics before they happen,
Speaker 13: Which is why a lot of the policies originally Total
Speaker 13: Information Awareness proposed, came back during the Trump administration during COVID,
Speaker 13: and Pallenteer was the contractor for all of those What
Speaker 13: do you know, They're.
Speaker 14: Going to use every telephone call you ever make, every
Speaker 14: text you every make, every Google search, every website you
Speaker 14: ever go to. They have a way of collecting all
Speaker 14: of that data and they put it into a database
Speaker 14: on you, and they have this kind of capability. And
Speaker 14: so immediately after this was invented, You're right, all these
Speaker 14: organizations pushed back against it. So the government said, Okay,
Speaker 14: we're not going to do it anymore. But then Paluneer
Speaker 14: was like, well we'll do it. And let me just
Speaker 14: start by saying, Whitney, I'm sorry, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 14: Yes I did vote for Donald Trump, and yes I
Speaker 14: was aware of Palenteer, but no, I did not buy
Speaker 14: or believe your hypothesis that they would in fact have
Speaker 14: so much access to this White House. I mean, giving
Speaker 14: a can campaign contribution is one thing. Having this level
Speaker 14: of control and implementation into the government is another. So
Speaker 14: in other words, yes, I was nervous. However, I was
Speaker 14: also cautiously optimistic. But once you understand exactly how palanteer works,
Speaker 14: and then you realize that, oh, CIA is using this,
Speaker 14: the FBI is using this, the IRS is using this,
Speaker 14: the Treasury Department's using this, Social Security is using this,
Speaker 14: INS is using this.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my goodness, what have we done?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 1: There are some aspects of this technology that people on
Speaker 1: the right are going to like, For instance, palnteer is
Speaker 1: being used to help round up and deport illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1: So you're not going to get any protests from the
Speaker 1: right wingers when it comes to that use of this technology.
Speaker 1: I think the only way that you're going to convince
Speaker 1: them that this is actually a cause that they ought
Speaker 1: to be concerned about is to connect the dots that. Sure,
Speaker 1: right now, it's being used against Palestinians, which many of
Speaker 1: you don't care about, it's using against immigrants many of
Speaker 1: you don't care about. What about when it gets used
Speaker 1: against you, like when you're dodging your taxes, and suddenly
Speaker 1: palenteer is using the connections between the Treasury Department and
Speaker 1: Social Security and other entities, and they're ultimately able to
Speaker 1: connect these dots and now you maybe going to jail.
Speaker 1: Even better than that, let's hypothesize about, say a couple
Speaker 1: of years from now there's a president Alexandria Cassio Cortez.
Speaker 1: How would you feel about it then? Because I know
Speaker 1: you guys trust Trump, but what about if it was
Speaker 1: Joe Biden or AOC or who knows Bernie Sanders. You're
Speaker 1: gonna feel good then that Palenteer has all of your
Speaker 1: information and they're connecting all of these dots and ultimately
Speaker 1: feeding it to all of these agencies that have the
Speaker 1: ability to throw you in jail. I think the obvious
Speaker 1: answer is no, you shouldn't feel good about that, and
Speaker 1: an ought to concern the hell out of you, because
Speaker 1: it concerns the hell out of me. This issue is
Speaker 1: getting so big that even a stand up comic like
Speaker 1: Theo Vaughn who's interviewing jd Vance, the Vice President of
Speaker 1: the United States, is asking him direct questions about thel
Speaker 1: Palenteer and his connections to them.
Speaker 7: This is the Palenteer company where they're going to build
Speaker 7: security databases that have all of our information in right,
Speaker 7: that's what you're saying, Yeah, and it's going to have
Speaker 7: like everything. It'll like look at you and know like
Speaker 7: if you're good at tennis or if you have sixty
Speaker 7: dollars in your pocket.
Speaker 10: I hear that story, and my reaction is the same,
Speaker 10: which is, oh, I don't like the government having my information.
Speaker 10: The reality is the government already has my information, and
Speaker 10: more importantly, some of these private technology companies have way
Speaker 10: more information on me than the government does.
Speaker 1: Now it's obvious we are rapidly sliding into oblivion. That
Speaker 1: you're getting harder hitting questions from a stand up comic
Speaker 1: like THEO Vaughn than you would get from Rachel Maddow
Speaker 1: or any other Fox News host for that matter. But
Speaker 1: shout out to THEO Vaughn asking a real question and
Speaker 1: putting jd Vance under the gun, because the truth is
Speaker 1: that Jade Vance's relationship to Peter Tiel is profoundly deep.
Speaker 1: And I'll let you guys decide if it's profoundly concerned.
Speaker 1: It is profoundly concerning for me now that I understand
Speaker 1: what Palnteer does and how it does it, but for
Speaker 1: you maybe not so much. It's not as if there
Speaker 1: aren't hundreds or thousands of corporations that have influence over politicians.
Speaker 1: I would just advise you to contrast the Palentteer donations
Speaker 1: through teal to Trump and Dvance, and contrast that to
Speaker 1: other corporations and how much they give to politicians, and
Speaker 1: then contrast that with the government contracts that pallunteer receives,
Speaker 1: which is still the lion's share of their revenue. And
Speaker 1: then contrast that with the increasing amount of responsibility and
Speaker 1: data access and surveillance technology that they have. And then
Speaker 1: you might come to the same conclusion that I have
Speaker 1: that this is fucking crazy. And if I still haven't
Speaker 1: convinced you, let's listen to my buddy Ian Carroll as
Speaker 1: he explains it.
Speaker 15: This won't just get used on critics of the Trump administration.
Speaker 15: This will get used on critics of every future American
Speaker 15: government until the end of a America, because that's how
Speaker 15: government works. Once you give them a power, they never
Speaker 15: give it back. And we are entering into territory from
Speaker 15: which there is no return. And inflaming leftist talking points
Speaker 15: are both unnecessary and not the move. This is not
Speaker 15: a part of an issue. In fact, this is a
Speaker 15: deeply anti American issue. And I'm sure I don't need
Speaker 15: to explain to a conservative why having AI watching you
Speaker 15: at all times and doling out social credit scores is
Speaker 15: a bad thing.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 1: Obviously I've gone extra hard on mister Carp, but I
Speaker 1: gotta say, after watching hours of Peter Thiel interviews as
Speaker 1: I prepared to do this episode for you guys, I
Speaker 1: came to the conclusion that he is also extraordinarily strange.
Speaker 1: In fact, in this interview just earlier this week, he's
Speaker 1: asked specifically if he wants human beings to continue to
Speaker 1: exist after AI takes over, and he pauses for a
Speaker 1: long time, as if this is something he's really not
Speaker 1: sure about, to which I say, what the dude, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? You would prefer the human race to endure? Right?
Speaker 15: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I don't know.
Speaker 13: I I would.
Speaker 3: I would so long hesitation, there's so many questions in playes,
Speaker 3: shouldn't the human race survive? U?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, but but uh I I also would like
Speaker 1: us to radically solve these problems.
Speaker 3: And uh and so you know, it's always I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, transhumanism is this, you know, the ideal
Speaker 3: was this radical transformation where your human natural body gets
Speaker 3: transformed into an immortal body.
Speaker 1: So it's obvious to me that mister Teal is a transhumanist,
Speaker 1: that he believes that we have to lower government regulations
Speaker 1: so that we can create these innovations that allow for
Speaker 1: life extension, et cetera, et cetera. Which I'm okay with
Speaker 1: life extension. I would like to live longer. Who wouldn't, right,
Speaker 1: But he takes it to a level that is deeply concerning,
Speaker 1: where you get to the point where you're so convinced
Speaker 1: that the advancement of technology and innovation is paramount to
Speaker 1: all else that if it means that we have to
Speaker 1: no longer exist, well, then it sounds like you're okay
Speaker 1: with it. So while mister KRP is much more overt
Speaker 1: in his disdain for anyone who's not him, mister Teal
Speaker 1: is a little bit more secret about it, but it
Speaker 1: does seem that he also has kind of a break
Speaker 1: a billion eggs to make an omelet type of mentality.
Speaker 1: Oh and also, Pete, anytime someone asks you if you
Speaker 1: want humanity to survive, the answer is fucking yes. Do
Speaker 1: I need to be your PR coach? What the fuck
Speaker 1: are you thinking? So to recap, we've got Peter Teal,
Speaker 1: who is a transhumanist who also isn't sure if humanity
Speaker 1: needs to survive because it might impede in technological progress,
Speaker 1: as if technological progress is more important than him us humanity.
Speaker 6: What the all?
Speaker 1: Right? Anyways, I gotta get past that one. And then
Speaker 1: you've got Alex Karp, who is, in my opinion, my
Speaker 1: very humble opinion, after dozens of hours of watching this
Speaker 1: guy and reading about him, is a psychopath. Sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to mince my words. I think he's a psychopath.
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I can't diagnose it. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you he strikes me as a very dangerous human being.
Speaker 1: He has all of the hallmarks of a neo conservative
Speaker 1: and a sociopath, if not a psychopath, dangerous, dangerous guy. Now,
Speaker 1: for those that aren't aware, Peter Thiel he is the
Speaker 1: funding and one of the founders and also obviously a
Speaker 1: big shareholder still of Palanteer. He is not the day
Speaker 1: to day guy. Karp is the day to day guy,
Speaker 1: and I am very concerned about mister Karp.
Speaker 16: It's the most effective way for social changes. Humiliate your
Speaker 16: enemy and make them poorer, and that's how social change
Speaker 16: actually happens.
Speaker 1: Setting aside the weirdness with deal, which is also worth noting,
Speaker 1: so the two primary players inside of Palenteer are very
Speaker 1: strange and very dangerous people in my opinion. But even
Speaker 1: if they weren't, this is still a technology that's extraordinarily dangerous.
Speaker 1: Oh and might I add that it is almost certainly
Speaker 1: a CIA front. And I think the biggest thing to
Speaker 1: take away from all of this is that if you
Speaker 1: guys remember the censorship regime that happened under the Biden
Speaker 1: administration when it came to Facebook and Instagram and Twitter.
Speaker 1: It was Twitter at the time other social media platforms too, YouTube,
Speaker 1: where there was back channeling from the Biden administration telling
Speaker 1: them what to censor. And the reason they did it
Speaker 1: that way is because it's against the constitution if the
Speaker 1: government censors you. However, if they can circumvent that and
Speaker 1: make it so that they're just applying pressure, this coercive
Speaker 1: pressure to private institutions, they can do things that the
Speaker 1: government can't. And I think that's exactly why in q
Speaker 1: Tel exists, is that they fund businesses to do deeds
Speaker 1: that they can't do, at least not legally. Now, there
Speaker 1: has been Supreme Court precedent in the past it says
Speaker 1: even if they do this, that's still unconstitutional because they're
Speaker 1: trying to circumvent our rights. But that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court will stand up or that it'll even
Speaker 1: ever be seen or heard in front of the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: So I think at this point that's kind of how
Speaker 1: I perceive Paalentteer. It is a mechanism to circumvent the
Speaker 1: Bill of Rights, our privacy rights, our speech rights, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And I think the overarching point is that even if
Speaker 1: this wasn't Palenteer, even if Alex carp wasn't the guy
Speaker 1: or deal, that's not really the key point here. The
Speaker 1: key point is those who would give up essential liberty
Speaker 1: to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin one of our founding fathers, and now my
Speaker 1: normal audience is very libertarian, and I would guess, given
Speaker 1: the nature of this topic, I will have a lot
Speaker 1: of non libertarians that watch this episode. But I would
Speaker 1: still apply that same message to you. Even if you
Speaker 1: want the government to be used against your enemies, it
Speaker 1: will be used against you, be it the Trump administration
Speaker 1: versus the left or the AOC administration versus the right.
Speaker 1: This should not be partisan. If you care about your freedoms,
Speaker 1: your free speech, your due process, your privacy rights. Everybody
Speaker 1: should be on the same page here, and every time
Speaker 1: you hear about the Trump administration or any future administration
Speaker 1: granting more funding to an institution like Palaeer, it doesn't
Speaker 1: even have to be Palenteer. It could be some new
Speaker 1: inq Tel funded spinoff. Your immediate instinct ought to be
Speaker 1: on guard, and your call to action is to oppose it,
Speaker 1: to be loud about it, and to let your elected
Speaker 1: officials know that if they vote for this stuff, they
Speaker 1: go bye by via the voting box. Obviously, Palenteer to
Speaker 1: me is essentially the AI version, the modern version of Blackwater, Halliburton, Boeing,
Speaker 1: Northrop Grumman, all of the military industrial complex corporations which
Speaker 1: made a fortune off of the War on Terror. And
Speaker 1: as the war drums beat louder, as we inch ever
Speaker 1: closer to the potential for a world war, you ought
Speaker 1: to expect that companies like Palenteer are going to get
Speaker 1: more and more funding and more and more power, and
Speaker 1: they're going to do it in more and more nefarious
Speaker 1: and secretive ways, and it's going to be hard to track,
Speaker 1: just as Blackwater once changed its name, for instance, this
Speaker 1: is a problem that is not going away. In fact,
Speaker 1: AI is a problem all on its own, which I
Speaker 1: may do an episode in the future about. If you'd
Speaker 1: like me to do that, drop a comment down below.
Speaker 1: But even setting aside the inherent dangers that can come
Speaker 1: along with the advent and the improvement of artificial intelligence,
Speaker 1: Palenteer is doing things that are by their very nature
Speaker 1: a danger to you and I. For those that are
Speaker 1: new here, I just set up this studio after moving
Speaker 1: a couple months ago, six weeks ago, and dumped a
Speaker 1: ton of money into it. Obviously, this has been a
Speaker 1: labor of love for me, a passion project. I poured
Speaker 1: my soul into this one. So all I ask of
Speaker 1: you is two things. One, pick up your phone right
Speaker 1: now and subscribe to Liberty Lockdown. In fact, better than that,
Speaker 1: pick up everybody you knows phone and so subscribe to
Speaker 1: Liberty Lockdown on whatever platform you're watching or listening to.
Speaker 1: Obviously it's on Apple, Podcasts, Spotify, all over the place.
Speaker 1: And Two, if you found any aspect of this interesting,
Speaker 1: which you probably did, because if you didn't, then I
Speaker 1: really did a bad job. But I didn't. I crushed it.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. If you can take clips, share, them
Speaker 1: on your own social media, or just send the link
Speaker 1: out to your friends and family and just force them
Speaker 1: to watch it, as you've now recognized the same existential
Speaker 1: threat that Palanteer represents that I recognize a few weeks ago.
