  • Good evening.
  • 00:00:04.596 --> 00:00:05.597
  • I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:05.597 --> 00:00:07.999
  • The united states has
  • 00:00:07.999 --> 00:00:09.167
  • A tangled relationship with china at its showing.
  • 00:00:09.167 --> 00:00:12.804
  • We buy
  • 00:00:13.004 --> 00:00:14.206
  • Lots of what they produce, and they hold a lot of our debt.
  • 00:00:14.206 --> 00:00:16.608
  • Yet it's a codependency
  • 00:00:17.109 --> 00:00:18.610
  • That might be keeping things from getting worse.
  • 00:00:18.610 --> 00:00:21.346
  • What's behind the imbalance?
  • 00:00:21.346 --> 00:00:23.448
  • Well, there are 1.4 billion chinese, and the ones
  • 00:00:23.448 --> 00:00:26.351
  • Who work make an average of just $20 a day.
  • 00:00:26.351 --> 00:00:29.421
  • There's no way
  • 00:00:29.754 --> 00:00:30.922
  • American business or america's workers can live on that.
  • 00:00:30.922 --> 00:00:34.092
  • The chinese have a nearly free pass to sell
  • 00:00:34.092 --> 00:00:36.661
  • Whatever they want here.
  • 00:00:36.661 --> 00:00:38.330
  • But when it comes to us goods being sold in china,
  • 00:00:38.330 --> 00:00:40.832
  • There are considerable roadblocks.
  • 00:00:40.832 --> 00:00:43.535
  • High tariffs, regulations, excise
  • 00:00:43.535 --> 00:00:46.004
  • Taxes and special rules from the communist party.
  • 00:00:46.004 --> 00:00:49.341
  • Those are among the barriers.
  • 00:00:49.341 --> 00:00:51.209
  • And what?
  • 00:00:51.209 --> 00:00:52.444
  • The chinese don't have an actual knowledge to make their own.
  • 00:00:52.444 --> 00:00:55.013
  • They steal it from american companies.
  • 00:00:55.013 --> 00:00:56.848
  • And it's called intellectual property.
  • 00:00:56.848 --> 00:00:59.751
  • Well, that's the economically landscape,
  • 00:00:59.751 --> 00:01:01.786
  • But it's chinese investments
  • 00:01:01.786 --> 00:01:03.421
  • In military assets that are an even bigger threat.
  • 00:01:03.421 --> 00:01:06.825
  • Aircraft carriers, missiles, traditional weaponry,
  • 00:01:06.825 --> 00:01:10.195
  • But also cyberwar, weapons, robots and military capabilities
  • 00:01:10.195 --> 00:01:13.832
  • For space.
  • 00:01:13.832 --> 00:01:14.766
  • They're all in the pipeline.
  • 00:01:14.766 --> 00:01:16.968
  • So what do we need to do to both thrive and stay safe?
  • 00:01:16.968 --> 00:01:21.006
  • Well, for that, we're joined again by captain chuck nash.
  • 00:01:21.006 --> 00:01:24.376
  • Welcome back, captain nash.
  • 00:01:24.376 --> 00:01:26.077
  • Pleasure to be back with you, sir.
  • 00:01:26.845 --> 00:01:28.813
  • Tell us first how the chinese military measures up to ours.
  • 00:01:28.813 --> 00:01:32.617
  • If it came to a fight over taiwan, for example.
  • 00:01:32.617 --> 00:01:36.922
  • That's an away game for us and a home game for them.
  • 00:01:37.989 --> 00:01:41.426
  • So they have the distinct advantage.
  • 00:01:41.426 --> 00:01:44.062
  • The other thing is, well, we spent oh
  • 00:01:44.062 --> 00:01:47.899
  • Multiples of what they spend on defense.
  • 00:01:48.733 --> 00:01:51.536
  • But what they spend on defense goes further in their economy
  • 00:01:51.536 --> 00:01:54.906
  • Than our dollar goes in our economy.
  • 00:01:54.906 --> 00:01:57.008
  • Here.
  • 00:01:57.008 --> 00:01:58.076
  • So their shipyards, they've got 4 or 5
  • 00:01:58.076 --> 00:02:01.680
  • Shipyards cranking out shipping.
  • 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.883
  • They build more ships in a month and we build in a year.
  • 00:02:04.883 --> 00:02:08.486
  • And they have the capacity to rent that up.
  • 00:02:08.486 --> 00:02:11.156
  • So they have the world's largest navy today.
  • 00:02:11.156 --> 00:02:14.459
  • We gave that up.
  • 00:02:14.859 --> 00:02:16.895
  • So they've got that
  • 00:02:16.895 --> 00:02:19.164
  • And they've got their island
  • 00:02:19.164 --> 00:02:20.732
  • Chains that they're building out with these artificial reefs,
  • 00:02:20.732 --> 00:02:23.969
  • And then they're militarizing them.
  • 00:02:23.969 --> 00:02:26.204
  • Their neighbors are not happy with it,
  • 00:02:26.204 --> 00:02:28.273
  • But there's not a lot they can do.
  • 00:02:28.273 --> 00:02:30.475
  • So this is an an existential issue with the chinese
  • 00:02:30.475 --> 00:02:37.249
  • Because they realize that when they're divided as a people,
  • 00:02:37.249 --> 00:02:41.486
  • They're conquered from the outside. it's
  • 00:02:41.486 --> 00:02:43.521
  • Always been in their history for thousands of years.
  • 00:02:43.521 --> 00:02:46.625
  • And that's why they look at taiwan as chinese people.
  • 00:02:46.625 --> 00:02:51.229
  • And there's a division.
  • 00:02:51.730 --> 00:02:53.698
  • And as
  • 00:02:53.898 --> 00:02:55.033
  • A jewish friend of mine says it's a stone in my shoe.
  • 00:02:55.033 --> 00:02:58.570
  • It's just a constant reminder that something's not right.
  • 00:02:58.570 --> 00:03:03.008
  • And they're going to try to do it without going kinetic.
  • 00:03:03.008 --> 00:03:08.747
  • The business relationships between those on the island
  • 00:03:08.747 --> 00:03:12.450
  • Of taiwan, those islands and the mainland
  • 00:03:12.450 --> 00:03:15.587
  • Are growing every day.
  • 00:03:16.054 --> 00:03:18.423
  • So this i think we can stay away from the kinetic action
  • 00:03:18.423 --> 00:03:23.528
  • Just so long as we don't provoke action.
  • 00:03:23.528 --> 00:03:27.465
  • There they realized that if they try to take
  • 00:03:27.465 --> 00:03:30.502
  • Taiwan militarily that it will be a disaster.
  • 00:03:30.502 --> 00:03:34.239
  • They're going to have to cross hundreds of miles of open ocean
  • 00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:37.075
  • To get to those islands.
  • 00:03:37.075 --> 00:03:38.743
  • Now they're building out a capability
  • 00:03:38.743 --> 00:03:41.713
  • To prove that if they wanted to, maybe they just might.
  • 00:03:41.713 --> 00:03:46.051
  • And that's enough to keep us and the rest of the world
  • 00:03:46.051 --> 00:03:49.087
  • Off balance, because maybe they just might.
  • 00:03:49.087 --> 00:03:52.524
  • And then they start with, as you pointed out,
  • 00:03:52.524 --> 00:03:56.227
  • With the mind games, which is to the american people.
  • 00:03:56.227 --> 00:04:00.198
  • Can you point to taiwan on a map?
  • 00:04:00.198 --> 00:04:02.634
  • Are you willing to have this thing made you go nuclear?
  • 00:04:02.634 --> 00:04:05.937
  • You're willing to give up san francisco and los angeles?
  • 00:04:05.937 --> 00:04:09.574
  • I mean, what's it worth to you?
  • 00:04:10.208 --> 00:04:12.210
  • So it's a patience game.
  • 00:04:12.210 --> 00:04:14.212
  • It's a waiting game.
  • 00:04:14.212 --> 00:04:16.014
  • But in your lead in
  • 00:04:16.014 --> 00:04:18.383
  • You pointed out the economy of china.
  • 00:04:18.383 --> 00:04:21.453
  • Time is not on their side.
  • 00:04:22.020 --> 00:04:24.222
  • They went to that one child policy.
  • 00:04:24.222 --> 00:04:27.025
  • Their population is aging rapidly.
  • 00:04:27.025 --> 00:04:29.728
  • A lot of industry is moving out of china
  • 00:04:29.728 --> 00:04:33.898
  • And into south vietnam or to vietnam, actually,
  • 00:04:33.898 --> 00:04:38.403
  • And the philippines and other areas.
  • 00:04:38.403 --> 00:04:41.005
  • There are things called chinese dark factories.
  • 00:04:41.005 --> 00:04:44.442
  • Look that up on the online.
  • 00:04:44.442 --> 00:04:46.911
  • They're completely robotic.
  • 00:04:46.911 --> 00:04:49.047
  • There are no human beings that work there other than those
  • 00:04:49.047 --> 00:04:52.450
  • Who maintain the robots.
  • 00:04:52.450 --> 00:04:54.586
  • So they have an issue that's coming.
  • 00:04:54.586 --> 00:04:58.523
  • They have water problems,
  • 00:04:58.523 --> 00:05:00.291
  • Natural resource problems, vast pollution problems,
  • 00:05:00.291 --> 00:05:04.028
  • Because they have been bearing the brunt ecologically
  • 00:05:04.028 --> 00:05:07.799
  • Of the battery production for these electric vehicles.
  • 00:05:07.799 --> 00:05:12.303
  • Their savings rate is around 35 to 40%.
  • 00:05:13.171 --> 00:05:15.940
  • And they've got banks that are failing
  • 00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:17.842
  • And are merging all the time.
  • 00:05:17.842 --> 00:05:19.511
  • They've got ghost cities that they had their people invest in.
  • 00:05:19.511 --> 00:05:23.581
  • And now you have these cities with high rise buildings
  • 00:05:23.581 --> 00:05:27.051
  • And nobody living in them.
  • 00:05:27.051 --> 00:05:29.521
  • So that ordered economy that
  • 00:05:29.521 --> 00:05:31.956
  • Sometimes we look at and go, i wish we could do that.
  • 00:05:31.956 --> 00:05:35.493
  • None of us want to live like that.
  • 00:05:35.493 --> 00:05:37.629
  • So time is not on their side.
  • 00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:39.731
  • That makes them dangerous, but also gives the world
  • 00:05:39.731 --> 00:05:42.767
  • A chance and gives peace a chance.
  • 00:05:42.767 --> 00:05:46.571
  • Well, we keep seeing pictures of putin
  • 00:05:46.571 --> 00:05:48.773
  • And the chinese leader together.
  • 00:05:48.773 --> 00:05:50.608
  • We know that russia got help from north korea during the war.
  • 00:05:50.608 --> 00:05:54.112
  • Our new defense secretary says we're shifting focus
  • 00:05:54.112 --> 00:05:56.881
  • Right now to prepare.
  • 00:05:56.881 --> 00:05:58.483
  • Listen to what he said.
  • 00:05:58.483 --> 00:06:00.151
  • We're also in real time,
  • 00:06:00.151 --> 00:06:01.719
  • Shifting focus over to the indo-pacific.
  • 00:06:01.719 --> 00:06:03.855
  • You saw it with my first trip. you'll see it with our budgets.
  • 00:06:03.855 --> 00:06:06.624
  • You'll see it with future travel, with exercises,
  • 00:06:06.624 --> 00:06:09.894
  • With what we're meeting and talking
  • 00:06:09.894 --> 00:06:11.296
  • About every day at the pentagon.
  • 00:06:11.296 --> 00:06:12.664
  • We understand the motives,
  • 00:06:12.664 --> 00:06:14.799
  • The capabilities of the communist chinese.
  • 00:06:15.700 --> 00:06:18.069
  • And we're ensuring we build a military today
  • 00:06:18.069 --> 00:06:20.171
  • And going forward, capable of deterring that conflict.
  • 00:06:20.171 --> 00:06:24.042
  • Chuck, there doesn't seem to be any imminent threat.
  • 00:06:24.042 --> 00:06:26.845
  • I mean, beyond taiwan that we've talked about.
  • 00:06:26.845 --> 00:06:29.013
  • Am i correct? the,
  • 00:06:29.013 --> 00:06:31.883
  • I believe you are correct.
  • 00:06:31.883 --> 00:06:33.151
  • I don't think there is an imminent threat.
  • 00:06:33.151 --> 00:06:34.953
  • And i think this is a this is a standoff.
  • 00:06:34.953 --> 00:06:39.023
  • And what's the problem with standoffs is
  • 00:06:39.023 --> 00:06:42.760
  • The inadvertent action that leads to conflict.
  • 00:06:43.661 --> 00:06:47.532
  • When you have forces that are up against each other,
  • 00:06:47.532 --> 00:06:50.134
  • That's why maintaining the presence,
  • 00:06:50.134 --> 00:06:53.438
  • It is a good thing to do because you don't want to go away.
  • 00:06:53.438 --> 00:06:57.442
  • Then all of a sudden, you come back.
  • 00:06:57.442 --> 00:06:58.776
  • Now, what are they doing now?
  • 00:06:58.776 --> 00:07:00.778
  • Well, it's just a constant.
  • 00:07:00.778 --> 00:07:03.081
  • This is the way things are kind of world.
  • 00:07:03.982 --> 00:07:06.651
  • And that's what we need to maintain.
  • 00:07:06.651 --> 00:07:10.054
  • Well, captain ash, please stay with us for another segment.
  • 00:07:10.054 --> 00:07:12.524
  • I want to get into
  • 00:07:12.524 --> 00:07:13.324
  • How the chinese military programs
  • 00:07:13.324 --> 00:07:14.993
  • May fit in with the new world of ai,
  • 00:07:14.993 --> 00:07:17.495
  • And whether that will help or hurt.
  • 00:07:17.495 --> 00:07:19.764
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:07:19.764 --> 00:07:27.008
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:07:27.008 --> 00:07:31.877
  • We're back now with captain chuck nash.
  • 00:07:32.678 --> 00:07:35.447
  • One new item on the table.
  • 00:07:35.447 --> 00:07:36.949
  • President trump is asked for billions of dollars to build
  • 00:07:36.949 --> 00:07:40.052
  • An american version of israel's iron dome over our country,
  • 00:07:40.052 --> 00:07:44.523
  • And he thinks he can get it done in just three years.
  • 00:07:44.523 --> 00:07:47.026
  • Here's how he describes the need.
  • 00:07:47.026 --> 00:07:49.361
  • I promised the american people
  • 00:07:49.361 --> 00:07:50.930
  • That i would build a cutting edge missile defense shield
  • 00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:54.099
  • To protect our homeland from the threat of
  • 00:07:54.099 --> 00:07:56.735
  • Foreign missile attack.
  • 00:07:56.735 --> 00:07:58.637
  • And that's what we're doing.
  • 00:07:59.238 --> 00:08:00.439
  • Today, i'm pleased to announce that we have officially selected
  • 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.609
  • An architecture for the state of the art system
  • 00:08:03.609 --> 00:08:06.545
  • That will deploy next generation technologies across the land,
  • 00:08:06.545 --> 00:08:10.382
  • Sea and space, including space based sensors and interceptors.
  • 00:08:10.382 --> 00:08:15.621
  • Chuck, is the president concerned
  • 00:08:16.355 --> 00:08:17.923
  • About long range missiles from china,
  • 00:08:17.923 --> 00:08:19.892
  • As well as from russia and iran, or from ships?
  • 00:08:19.892 --> 00:08:23.929
  • I believe he is. and,
  • 00:08:24.430 --> 00:08:27.166
  • You know, pastor,
  • 00:08:27.166 --> 00:08:29.001
  • The technology has ramped up significantly since president
  • 00:08:29.001 --> 00:08:34.273
  • Reagan, presented, a proposal for his strategic defense
  • 00:08:34.273 --> 00:08:39.011
  • Initiative, sdi, which was labeled star wars.
  • 00:08:39.011 --> 00:08:42.514
  • But not by him.
  • 00:08:42.881 --> 00:08:43.916
  • But by his detractors.
  • 00:08:43.916 --> 00:08:45.784
  • But the sdi was the acknowledgment
  • 00:08:45.784 --> 00:08:50.222
  • That the way to really defend
  • 00:08:50.222 --> 00:08:53.492
  • America is not to go overseas.
  • 00:08:53.492 --> 00:08:57.463
  • And and with everything that that entails.
  • 00:08:57.463 --> 00:09:00.432
  • But maybe it's just to defend from space and
  • 00:09:00.432 --> 00:09:03.836
  • From ground based interceptors here in the united states.
  • 00:09:03.836 --> 00:09:07.873
  • So if everything goes wrong
  • 00:09:07.873 --> 00:09:10.409
  • And the
  • 00:09:10.643 --> 00:09:12.277
  • Icbms fly, we have to be able to deal with that
  • 00:09:12.277 --> 00:09:16.348
  • And not say, well, that problem was too hard.
  • 00:09:16.348 --> 00:09:19.451
  • The other problem that we need to look at
  • 00:09:19.451 --> 00:09:22.287
  • Is that things have gone on far beyond ballistic missiles,
  • 00:09:22.287 --> 00:09:26.458
  • Which have a
  • 00:09:26.458 --> 00:09:27.559
  • Ballistic trajectory and therefore are predictable
  • 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.729
  • To intercept, even though they're going very fast.
  • 00:09:30.729 --> 00:09:33.832
  • We now in the world where we have hypersonic
  • 00:09:33.832 --> 00:09:36.402
  • Weapons, hypersonics or even mach five plus,
  • 00:09:36.402 --> 00:09:41.473
  • But they don't fly a ballistic profile.
  • 00:09:41.473 --> 00:09:44.510
  • So they're much, much, much more difficult to intercept.
  • 00:09:44.510 --> 00:09:47.746
  • So that's why
  • 00:09:48.113 --> 00:09:49.782
  • We need things
  • 00:09:49.782 --> 00:09:51.016
  • Like directed energy weapons as well as physical interceptors
  • 00:09:51.016 --> 00:09:54.720
  • To get close and either explode or
  • 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.523
  • Or go metal to metal in a contact.
  • 00:09:57.523 --> 00:10:00.359
  • So technology is improving.
  • 00:10:00.359 --> 00:10:02.795
  • A.i. will help us with that, and hopefully
  • 00:10:02.795 --> 00:10:06.598
  • We'll be able to beat this thing down.
  • 00:10:06.598 --> 00:10:09.835
  • The russians and the chinese are saying, if you do this,
  • 00:10:09.835 --> 00:10:13.706
  • What you're doing is you're walking away
  • 00:10:13.706 --> 00:10:16.275
  • From mutually assured,
  • 00:10:16.275 --> 00:10:17.710
  • Assured destruction, which is what has kept the lid
  • 00:10:17.710 --> 00:10:21.480
  • On the nuclear holocaust, because it would
  • 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.317
  • Be like if russia launched.
  • 00:10:25.317 --> 00:10:27.186
  • We're going to see it and we're going to counter launch.
  • 00:10:28.287 --> 00:10:31.156
  • Whoa!
  • 00:10:31.156 --> 00:10:32.291
  • Well, that almost happened a couple times by accident
  • 00:10:32.291 --> 00:10:34.793
  • In the last 50 years.
  • 00:10:34.793 --> 00:10:36.628
  • So the defense
  • 00:10:36.628 --> 00:10:39.865
  • Idea is, well, wait a minute.
  • 00:10:39.865 --> 00:10:41.867
  • If you get this golden dome and you can protect yourself,
  • 00:10:41.867 --> 00:10:46.205
  • There's no longer mutually assured destruction
  • 00:10:46.205 --> 00:10:48.474
  • Because you don't have to worry about it.
  • 00:10:48.474 --> 00:10:50.309
  • But we do.
  • 00:10:50.309 --> 00:10:51.744
  • So they're going to try to play that.
  • 00:10:51.744 --> 00:10:53.979
  • And they will work with the political left
  • 00:10:53.979 --> 00:10:55.948
  • In this country to try to talk this down.
  • 00:10:55.948 --> 00:10:58.517
  • Just like they did with president reagan.
  • 00:10:58.517 --> 00:11:01.086
  • What do you think about the president's timeline
  • 00:11:01.086 --> 00:11:03.255
  • For three years to construct and implement this golden dome?
  • 00:11:03.255 --> 00:11:06.125
  • Is that realistic?
  • 00:11:06.125 --> 00:11:08.627
  • I think that might be a stretch, but i think we could have
  • 00:11:08.627 --> 00:11:12.030
  • A rudimentary system in place to deal with certain threats.
  • 00:11:12.030 --> 00:11:18.003
  • So we just have to start taking
  • 00:11:18.003 --> 00:11:20.506
  • The threats off the table as we go.
  • 00:11:20.506 --> 00:11:23.509
  • And of course, he's not going to be able to get the full
  • 00:11:23.509 --> 00:11:27.312
  • Funding to do everything in three years as well.
  • 00:11:27.312 --> 00:11:31.116
  • So there's a lot of technology that we have yet
  • 00:11:31.116 --> 00:11:34.253
  • To exploit that will become available.
  • 00:11:34.253 --> 00:11:38.123
  • But then you have to integrate that,
  • 00:11:38.123 --> 00:11:40.392
  • And we're going to have to integrate new with new,
  • 00:11:40.392 --> 00:11:44.163
  • Not like we're facing right now with the
  • 00:11:44.163 --> 00:11:47.065
  • Federal administration, the federal aviation
  • 00:11:47.065 --> 00:11:49.368
  • Administration, where we have these outages in newark
  • 00:11:49.368 --> 00:11:52.538
  • And denver and other places where we've tried to couple
  • 00:11:52.538 --> 00:11:57.042
  • New technology with old technology
  • 00:11:57.042 --> 00:12:00.145
  • That that's a hard thing to do.
  • 00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:03.882
  • So we have to go new with new, which means the golden dome
  • 00:12:03.882 --> 00:12:08.287
  • Would be all new technology integrated for the next,
  • 00:12:08.287 --> 00:12:12.491
  • The next 50 years.
  • 00:12:12.925 --> 00:12:14.760
  • Not try to take old technology and make it work.
  • 00:12:14.760 --> 00:12:18.931
  • You know, captain, you're an accomplished naval aviator.
  • 00:12:20.032 --> 00:12:23.302
  • So you understand about fighting wars in the sky.
  • 00:12:23.302 --> 00:12:25.671
  • But it seems like with space force,
  • 00:12:25.671 --> 00:12:28.207
  • Space is not just the next frontier. now.
  • 00:12:28.207 --> 00:12:30.309
  • It's an essential part of our national security
  • 00:12:30.309 --> 00:12:33.679
  • And has to change how
  • 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.880
  • We think about who we are and how we protect ourselves.
  • 00:12:34.880 --> 00:12:38.083
  • How's the military doing with adding that new layer?
  • 00:12:38.083 --> 00:12:40.285
  • I know president trump
  • 00:12:40.285 --> 00:12:41.453
  • Initiated the space force, but it still seems pretty new.
  • 00:12:41.453 --> 00:12:44.156
  • Well, the satellite programs that were in existence
  • 00:12:45.157 --> 00:12:48.527
  • When i was read into them, back in the day
  • 00:12:48.527 --> 00:12:51.864
  • Were pretty phenomenal.
  • 00:12:51.864 --> 00:12:54.633
  • So i can only imagine what we have now.
  • 00:12:54.633 --> 00:12:57.970
  • I'm sure that we have
  • 00:12:58.470 --> 00:13:00.572
  • Full global, constant surveillance.
  • 00:13:00.572 --> 00:13:03.742
  • At this point, we probably also have sensors
  • 00:13:04.643 --> 00:13:08.413
  • That can pick up, launches far,
  • 00:13:08.413 --> 00:13:11.950
  • Beyond what we could out of the mountain.
  • 00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:15.287
  • Back in the day.
  • 00:13:15.687 --> 00:13:17.055
  • But even then, we could see missile launches.
  • 00:13:17.055 --> 00:13:21.093
  • So today that we can probably see a lot more.
  • 00:13:22.027 --> 00:13:26.732
  • So, staying ahead of that program.
  • 00:13:26.732 --> 00:13:30.002
  • Yeah, that's going to it's going to take money.
  • 00:13:30.002 --> 00:13:32.337
  • But again, what happens
  • 00:13:32.337 --> 00:13:35.173
  • In the secret programs we call black programs?
  • 00:13:35.173 --> 00:13:38.377
  • Only those who are red in really no.
  • 00:13:39.144 --> 00:13:42.214
  • And i'm not ridin anymore.
  • 00:13:42.781 --> 00:13:45.951
  • One last question.
  • 00:13:46.385 --> 00:13:47.819
  • I'm sure that the pentagon
  • 00:13:47.819 --> 00:13:48.987
  • Is thinking through what might happen
  • 00:13:48.987 --> 00:13:50.622
  • When you put together a force of robotic weaponry
  • 00:13:50.622 --> 00:13:52.991
  • And let it run on ai driven autonomy.
  • 00:13:52.991 --> 00:13:55.794
  • It's pretty scary to consider, especially if the ai
  • 00:13:55.794 --> 00:13:58.597
  • Is programed by communist thinking.
  • 00:13:58.597 --> 00:14:01.900
  • That seems like a bizarre new world we're facing.
  • 00:14:01.900 --> 00:14:05.871
  • It really is.
  • 00:14:06.238 --> 00:14:07.306
  • And the inventor of the ai,
  • 00:14:07.306 --> 00:14:11.643
  • It is nobel
  • 00:14:11.977 --> 00:14:14.079
  • Laureate, his nobel
  • 00:14:14.079 --> 00:14:16.048
  • Acceptance speech cautioned, the world
  • 00:14:16.048 --> 00:14:19.618
  • In the scientific community about ai.
  • 00:14:19.618 --> 00:14:22.921
  • And that is what futurists predicted,
  • 00:14:22.921 --> 00:14:25.991
  • Oh, 15 years ago, which would be
  • 00:14:26.625 --> 00:14:29.928
  • When the computers could reprogram themselves.
  • 00:14:29.928 --> 00:14:33.131
  • And there have been instances already where,
  • 00:14:34.032 --> 00:14:38.337
  • Computer engineers were trying
  • 00:14:38.937 --> 00:14:40.872
  • To update an ai system,
  • 00:14:40.872 --> 00:14:43.976
  • And the system realized that it was being updated.
  • 00:14:43.976 --> 00:14:47.479
  • So it made a copy of itself
  • 00:14:47.479 --> 00:14:50.382
  • And inserted it into the program
  • 00:14:50.382 --> 00:14:53.452
  • So that it wouldn't it wouldn't be changed.
  • 00:14:53.452 --> 00:14:55.821
  • It wouldn't die.
  • 00:14:55.821 --> 00:14:57.889
  • So these things, we have to be careful,
  • 00:14:57.889 --> 00:15:00.926
  • Because this is going to be as powerful
  • 00:15:00.926 --> 00:15:04.496
  • For human beings as electricity.
  • 00:15:04.496 --> 00:15:08.233
  • It's it's it's going to be absolutely phenomenal.
  • 00:15:08.233 --> 00:15:10.902
  • And if we don't keep control of it and it unleashes itself,
  • 00:15:10.902 --> 00:15:16.875
  • Who knows what could happen.
  • 00:15:17.476 --> 00:15:19.411
  • These are dangerous times.
  • 00:15:19.411 --> 00:15:21.847
  • Well thank you, captain nash, for your wisdom.
  • 00:15:21.847 --> 00:15:24.249
  • We hope to see you again very soon.
  • 00:15:24.249 --> 00:15:27.552
  • I look forward.
  • 00:15:27.552 --> 00:15:29.287
  • And when i come back, some thoughts of my own
  • 00:15:29.287 --> 00:15:31.256
  • About moving forward.
  • 00:15:31.256 --> 00:15:32.758
  • Knowing what we know now.
  • 00:15:32.758 --> 00:15:41.003
  • Knowing what we know now.
  • 00:15:41.003 --> 00:15:45.204
  • Well, for several years, china has had free rein
  • 00:15:46.172 --> 00:15:48.641
  • To patrol the globe and try to assert their will.
  • 00:15:48.641 --> 00:15:52.178
  • The chinese government is communist,
  • 00:15:52.178 --> 00:15:53.913
  • Authoritarian, domineering.
  • 00:15:53.913 --> 00:15:56.015
  • They practice slavery, social control and manipulation.
  • 00:15:56.015 --> 00:16:00.086
  • They oppose free speech.
  • 00:16:00.086 --> 00:16:01.854
  • And that spirit has been unleashed on our world.
  • 00:16:01.854 --> 00:16:05.324
  • We are witnesses to this spirit, gaining influence
  • 00:16:05.324 --> 00:16:08.761
  • On a global basis and the united states.
  • 00:16:08.761 --> 00:16:11.597
  • We've shown very little will to thwart it until now.
  • 00:16:11.597 --> 00:16:14.734
  • I'm grateful for the change
  • 00:16:15.334 --> 00:16:16.602
  • We're seeing under our current administration.
  • 00:16:16.602 --> 00:16:18.838
  • The u.s.
  • 00:16:18.838 --> 00:16:19.839
  • Has stopped capitulating to chinese ambition,
  • 00:16:19.839 --> 00:16:22.108
  • And that is good news for all of us.
  • 00:16:22.108 --> 00:16:24.911
  • Now, some will undoubtedly say, you're a pastor.
  • 00:16:24.911 --> 00:16:27.013
  • Why do you care?
  • 00:16:27.013 --> 00:16:28.581
  • Well, for more than 100 years, communism has been on display
  • 00:16:28.581 --> 00:16:31.451
  • In our world,
  • 00:16:31.451 --> 00:16:32.518
  • And every place it's gained the primary authority.
  • 00:16:32.518 --> 00:16:35.188
  • One of the first things it has done is imprisoned
  • 00:16:35.188 --> 00:16:37.323
  • The leading voices in the churches
  • 00:16:37.323 --> 00:16:39.092
  • And diminished opportunities for the gospel.
  • 00:16:39.092 --> 00:16:41.861
  • So it should matter to every christ follower.
  • 00:16:41.861 --> 00:16:44.530
  • Communism is not just another economic system.
  • 00:16:44.530 --> 00:16:47.200
  • It's one of the most destructive,
  • 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.668
  • Murderous expressions of human authority in history,
  • 00:16:48.668 --> 00:16:52.338
  • And it's resulted in horrific suffering.
  • 00:16:52.338 --> 00:16:55.408
  • When there have been rises of authoritarianism in the past,
  • 00:16:55.408 --> 00:16:58.411
  • There was usually a force that would rise up against it.
  • 00:16:58.411 --> 00:17:01.414
  • And that force wasn't political.
  • 00:17:01.414 --> 00:17:02.982
  • Primarily, it was spiritual.
  • 00:17:02.982 --> 00:17:05.618
  • Unfortunately, we have forfeited on a very personal level
  • 00:17:05.618 --> 00:17:08.921
  • Our willingness to address truth.
  • 00:17:08.921 --> 00:17:11.157
  • We've said, you know, we'll just go along and get along.
  • 00:17:11.157 --> 00:17:13.993
  • And that attitude
  • 00:17:13.993 --> 00:17:15.161
  • Makes us very easily cowed to authoritarian influences.
  • 00:17:15.161 --> 00:17:18.731
  • We don't want to be ostracized.
  • 00:17:18.731 --> 00:17:20.233
  • We don't want to be identified as being judgmental.
  • 00:17:20.233 --> 00:17:23.002
  • We as christ followers,
  • 00:17:23.503 --> 00:17:24.904
  • Must be the voice of truth in this season of cultural change.
  • 00:17:24.904 --> 00:17:28.674
  • And i encourage you to start in your homes
  • 00:17:28.674 --> 00:17:31.144
  • With your loved ones.
  • 00:17:31.144 --> 00:17:32.478
  • Start to think in terms of your sphere of influence,
  • 00:17:32.478 --> 00:17:35.314
  • The people that you interact with.
  • 00:17:35.314 --> 00:17:37.283
  • If we'll do that, i assure you there are more reasons for hope
  • 00:17:37.283 --> 00:17:40.586
  • Than despair.
  • 00:17:40.586 --> 00:17:41.854
  • We'll be back with your emails in just a moment.
  • 00:17:41.854 --> 00:17:51.009

  • Sandy earle emailed.

  • The democrats seem to have trump hatred for hatred sake.
  • 00:18:45.752 --> 00:18:49.256
  • It's as irrational as anti-semitism.
  • 00:18:49.256 --> 00:18:51.892
  • What about america and americans?
  • 00:18:51.892 --> 00:18:53.694

  • Well, i think the hatred for trump and anti-semitism,
  • 00:19:04.638 --> 00:19:07.674
  • The underlying forces behind that, really aren't political
  • 00:19:07.674 --> 00:19:10.811
  • Or international.
  • 00:19:10.811 --> 00:19:11.578
  • I believe they're spiritual,
  • 00:19:11.578 --> 00:19:13.413
  • And i believe that's why those of us with people of faith
  • 00:19:13.413 --> 00:19:16.016
  • Have such an important role
  • 00:19:16.016 --> 00:19:17.484

  • Clever people, hardworking people to make this possible.

  • And without your engagement and you being a part of it,

  • And you sharing the news about the program, none of it works.
  • 00:19:55.522 --> 00:19:59.393

  • 00:20:01.762 --> 00:20:04.464
