[00:00:04] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. All right, back with you live ladies and gentlemen, happy to have you along. Sam Bushman, Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com, check out his collegiate series to preserve the nation. Also check out his weekly webinars, Q&As on the Constitution and more. freedomsrisingsun.com is where you sign up and get involved there.
[00:00:33] That's how you can participate. But if you just want to watch it, check out Freedom's Call on BitChute, Rumble, just about everywhere. Type in the words Freedom's Call. The term is slightly different on both of them because of names and, you know, it's hard in society now. You can't get a name for anything. It's already taken or squatted on or who knows what. So, but look for Freedom's Call. You'll find it. Check it out. Dr. Scott Bradley takes questions, answers from the, just people, whoever, who wants to join, ask questions, learn, gain ground, have the doctor kind of go off on constitutional topics and
[00:01:03] help you put things in proper perspective. Most of the time it's constitutional. Sometimes it's just Q&As on conservative issues, et cetera. Because sometimes, you know, once in a while the Constitution, you know, might have different viewpoints or there might be different thoughts on how something should be accomplished. I mean, the founding fathers debated this stuff till the cows come home. And we should be doing a lot of the same, by the way. So there's an interesting tidbit you guys had a discussion about last night regarding education, right, doctor?
[00:01:30] Well, indeed. I kind of launched, you know, sometimes it doesn't take much to do that. It was about the stupidity of schools not even teaching cursive handwriting anymore. And so I, you know, I told a story about when my dad died. Mom had died some years before. And I was the executor and all that kind of stuff of the will.
[00:01:54] And so I was trying to sort through things and, you know, make sure it was all handled fairly and all that kind of good stuff. I came across a bundle of old letters that my dad had received while he was in the Navy. And he had brought them back, you know, after World War II. And they were tied, you know, with these, you know, twine, you know, strings and everything like that. And, you know, I didn't have time to read them.
[00:02:22] I was in the middle of trying to figure out what to do with the house, you know. And so anyway, my little sister, who's quite a bit younger than me, came to me and said, you know, her youngest son. So it was the youngest of all the grandchildren. Boy, he really wanted his grandpa's old Navy letters. And I thought, man, if somebody wants them, that's wonderful. Let's give them to him. And so, you know, I presented him with this bundle of old letters.
[00:02:50] And he brought them back the next day. And I said, well, what's wrong? He said, well, I can't read them. I says, why? He says, because they're written in cursive. And it just struck a chord with me. You know, I mean, if you can't read historical records, if you can't read your family history records out of the old family Bible, who was born, who died, who got married. Yeah, but doctor, that's what they want. How do you destroy a culture if you can't ruin their heritage?
[00:03:17] You know, if you don't know where you came from and stuff, you don't know where you're headed, my friend. They love that. Well, that's what it kind of came out of. They started teaching keyboarding on computers in school. And they claim it's faster. And they started giving every kid a device. And so you can take notes in class with it. And so they transitioned out of cursive. And it's no longer necessary. But, you know, and this is where the launch happened with me.
[00:03:41] I, you know, of course, I'm upset if people lose their heritage, as you point out, because we can no longer read, you know, what was said by Washington to Jefferson when he gave him an executive order, for example. Most people don't read those things. I mean, anyway. But when I was in school, I did note taking. I took them by hand, you know, in cursive. And then after the class, I transcribed those.
[00:04:09] You know, it's a quick cursive that was clumsy and messy and everything. Little short, sententious sentences, whatever it took. And then after class, when I was on my own, I transcribed them in my own handwriting to fill in the blanks, you know, a keyword or two. Oh, yeah, that's what they talked about. I got so that I could transcribe almost with total recall the entire lecture. I know that's weird. But here's the deal.
[00:04:39] I think in that transition, I embedded the information in my memory. The idea of with cursive, you connect the letters and they become words and words become thoughts. It's almost an art form. Yeah, you're talking about a phonics-based reality that when you don't use cursive, it makes it harder to understand from the get-go. The cursive kind of chains the thought together in meaningful, productive ways that help you learn phonics as well.
[00:05:03] And so what you're talking about is when we jettison these fundamentals, you divorce not only the modern-day individual from their heritage, from their history, which means you don't know where you're going if you don't know the past, number one. Number two, you don't have any appreciation or gratitude for the service, the love and the sacrifices and all the things they've made through their stories and through their lives and their histories. And, you know, you divorce all that intentionally. But the second problem is then you don't really know how to read all those things. And so you're just like, can't read that and just ditch everything.
[00:05:31] And pretty soon you're half illiterate. But I believe that there are education leaders that want that to happen on purpose. And I believe we need to fight this tooth and nail. I agree with you 100%. It's something we must, absolutely must preserve. And you say, well, nobody writes that way anymore, Sam. I mean, every generation is going to be on a computer going forward. And my response is if we let it go, yes, you're right. But we shouldn't. We should preserve it. We should preserve the ability to spell, to read, to write, to do math, to do these fundamentals. I don't care if a computer could do it for you or not.
[00:06:00] The learning of these things is critical. And the understanding and the knowledge and the value that they bring to the table. Otherwise, pretty soon you don't know anything. The computer knows everything and you don't know anything. And that's the problem that we're running into when it comes to AI as well. And this really kind of baits the next topic. But similar, there's an education union now that are saying, hey, we need to jettison technology for youngsters. If you're in kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, they shouldn't have any computers at all.
[00:06:27] And you shouldn't be able to use AI until you at least get to middle school, possibly high school. It's the first time I've ever agreed with a teacher's union, doctor. Well, it had to happen sometime. You know, like they say, a broken clock is right. Yeah, because eventually there'll be no teachers. It'll just all be AI and all computers. Why do we need a teacher? The AI can teach better than the person can. At least that's the, you know, lie idea, right? Well, these eggheads, and I don't know what to call them nicer than that.
[00:06:53] But these guys that are really, really on board with this AI nonsense. I mean, this is going to, I don't know if it'll get rid of a third of the jobs, a half the job. I don't know. It's a guess. But the fact of the matter is, it's not just going to be kind of rote learning kinds of things. You're going to find doctors and lawyers lose their job.
[00:07:15] You're going to find, you know, your high-priced graduate degree isn't worth diddly squat because you can get on AI and tell your symptoms to them. And they're going to tell you this is what you need. And why can't we get a prescription off of that? And blah, blah, blah. Eliminate the middleman, the doctor. And maybe that needs to be done in a lot of cases. But the fact of the matter is, this is going to be a monumental shift.
[00:07:40] And if we can't keep the human nature, and this is a strange bring up again. I probably, a year ago, I brought up Zager and Evans in the year 2525. That song, I first heard it in 1969. That's when it came out. I had a job putting up fences at Sun Valley, Idaho.
[00:08:06] At any rate, the fact of the matter is that it kind of talks about technology taking over the humanity. And you ought to get it. It's on YouTube, and you can watch it or listen to it or whatever you want. But it's just, just weird. And well, I was just looking at my computer right now. Well, and Elon Musk and company kind of believes if you don't, you know, decide that you're going to become a hybrid.
[00:08:34] Not an inbred, but a hybrid kind of between a humanoid and a technology bot. You don't kind of plant this stuff in your brain or do this and that. You're going to absolutely be, you're going to fall behind. You're going to be a Neanderthal type human. You're going to be way behind. You're going to be, I mean, literally Bill Gates and Elon Musk and some of these other people speak of these. These things. And they believe that, you know, technocracy is rising. That's the name of a book, by the way, from a speaker. It's going to be speaking at the JBS event, John Birch Society event, June 5th and 6th in Salt Lake City.
[00:09:04] To learn more, go to jbs.org slash conference slash SLC 26 and get your tickets today. But Patrick talks about this in great detail and highlights this. This is something real, and they're going to try to force this on society. Doctor, you watch. Well, the JBS isn't trying to force it. No, no, no. I'm talking about those who want to blend your technology like the Bill Gates and the Elon Musk. JBS is warning against it. That's why Patrick is a speaker. Well, I agree. And I just want to make sure everybody understands that. Good work. Yes, sir.
[00:09:34] Here's the deal. How's this furry thing working out for you? How's this trans thing working out for you? It's a disaster on steroids, sir. Everything is being spun away from our humanity. And you know what? Relationships will be destroyed.
[00:09:52] I mean, this is a technology debate that if we lose it, we're going to lose so much of what really makes us be able to have a relationship and, you know, married and children and have a job. I mean, jobs will go away unquestionably. And so this is a kind of a hinge point. And here's what I'm praying for.
[00:10:18] I think that with the new AI development stuff, there's going to be an awful lot of gobs and gobs and gobs of money put into it. And I think a lot of people are going to lose gobs and gobs and gobs of money because it will be pushed to the point that it will either make you or break you. And I'm afraid that society might have a lot of real failures because I'm kind of praying for the AI thing to stumble and fall. Well, it will stumble and fall.
[00:10:47] But what it'll do is it'll be like the dot-com bust. It'll kind of stumble and fall and take steps back. But the reality is it's here to stay. I want to talk about something that relates to all this. We'll do it in seconds. Hold on, everybody. Are you watching what's happening in our country and asking, what can I do? Join the John Birch Society in Salt Lake City June 6th for a powerful one-day conference. The day includes a host of respected speakers, two meals, and meaningful connections.
[00:11:12] You'll gain clarity on the issues and walk away with practical steps you can take to your community. Reserve your seat today at jbs.org forward slash SLC26. That's jbs.org forward slash SLC26. Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens?
[00:11:40] Can a country founded on God-given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our Creator? As a physician, I have looked into the eyes of one-pound babies. I have cradled their small bodies in the palm of one hand. I defy those who are careless, who would disregard life and look at these tiny little miracles and say, we're not going to protect that.
[00:12:10] But I believe there will come a time when we are all judged on whether or not we took a stand in defense of all life from the moment of conception until our last natural breath. One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life. All right, back with you live, ladies and gentlemen. Dr. Scott Bradley with me, freedomsrisingsun.com.
[00:12:37] So on this issue, I did a presentation last night, a video that will be released by Liberty United pretty soon. Unitingliberty.com to learn more about Liberty United, just a partner organization that I'm good friends with and think the world of and I sit on the board for and et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, but I did a long form, like 27-minute video on this topic, and I'll give a quick summary for Dr. Bradley to respond to. Technology, righteous or evil? And my upshot was it's neither.
[00:13:04] The real question is whose hands is the technology in? And what are their agendas, right? What's their goal? What's their focus? That's what really matters. Understand this. Listen carefully. Technology magnifies human intent. In the hands of good people, guided by conscience. Technology can absolutely bless humanity.
[00:13:31] In the hands of corrupt, power greedy, manipulative, or tyrannical folks, technology is absolutely dangerous. The future, ladies and gentlemen, will not be decided by technology alone, but by the moral character of the people who build, control, and use it. Doctor? Well, I've been asked by this same group to do a presentation next month, about two weeks away, I think.
[00:14:02] And I talk about the moral imperative for society to continue to survive. And you're absolutely correct about that. The problem is that we're losing our conscience. It seems like we're that still small voice that guides our moral agency. Not me. I'm not, buddy. The moral agency. You know, I'm pretty confident that you're probably stating the truth, but there's a great deal of that. I'm telling you, God created me and we create technology, and therefore it'll never be greater than the creator, sir. Never.
[00:14:32] Well, the problem is, as you say, in whose hands? I mean, dynamite can be used to open minds or it can be used to blow up society. And let's just take the most fundamental thing of all, you know, mortality. I mean, the procreation is absolutely essential to be able to continue the race.
[00:14:51] And yet, it's been spun in a, I mean, in the hands of immoral characters, scoundrels, whatever you want to call it, into the most perverse things that can possibly be imagined. And so God's divine program for bringing his children forth on earth has been perverted into a doctrine of devils, literally. So almost anything that we touch, we can turn to bad effects.
[00:15:19] And I just hope and pray that these technologies that you're talking about that are being developed and brought forth are not turned loose on society. You know, I mean, the United States is the only country that's ever used nuclear weapons in anger, you know. And heaven forbid that those things be turned loose again by other megalomaniacs. And so almost everything.
[00:15:46] Well, and if you're not careful, it'll be turned loose by, and then there'll be nobody really even accountable. It might be AI or some technology that turns it loose and the world's all at, you know, in harm's way because of it or whatever. And it's an AI gone psychotic. There's been all kinds of interesting tests about these AI bots. And when people try to, you know, get in a fight with them and shut them down, they resist and they protest and they do things like, hey, Dr. Bradley, you want to shut me down? I won't let you. I'll delete your bank account, buddy. Or I'll switch the funds out of your bank account and I'll shut down your power at your house.
[00:16:16] And all these hostile actions and stuff like that. And so, you know, if you're not very careful, we'll end up having these AI bots control war and make war decisions for us, which I, you know, that to me is one of the most scary things of all. The other thing that's scary to me is deciding that you shouldn't be able to think for yourself. And there's a book written about this in yesteryear by Mr. Lund, and it's called The Alliance.
[00:16:40] And it basically is this idea that you put this chip in the back of your brain, you put this bracelet on, and between the two, hey, you can't get rid of it. Because what it'll do is if you try to get rid of one or the other, it'll kill you. And then what happens is it can kind of monitor what's happening in your thought processes. And if you think things against the, quote, government or against the powers that be, then you'll receive pain until you decide to repent, change, and be humble and submissive and appropriate again. Anyway, it's called The Alliance, and it sounds science fiction when you read the book.
[00:17:08] But, man, when you look at modern technology today, you go, whoa, how spot on was that book written in the 80s, right? So it's very, very interesting how this is all unfolding. But, look, technology, everybody thinks AI is here today. And there's no doubt we're doing incredible things with AI now. And no doubt there'll be a big stumble. But at the end of the day, it's going to move forward, and it's going to continue. And they're going to do their very best to merge humanoids with technology, techno-humans or whatever you want to call it. Technology and technocracy is rising.
[00:17:36] And at the end of the day, the question becomes, how are we going to handle this? What are we going to do about it? Well, we let them use it for control purposes, which is their ultimate intent. It's not about whether you like AI or whether you'll have a job or not. Those things are all inconsequential. The reality is, will they use it to control, and will they use it to foment and promote war, destruction, and death? And I believe the answer is yes on all counts if we're not very careful as a people to really get ahead of this thing and do it fast because it's coming like a freight train. But at the end of the day, they can't make this all happen as fast as they want, doctor.
[00:18:07] And this is the blessing. AI will advance quickly, no doubt about it. But they're going to run into a wall, and the wall is the data centers. The wall is the power. The wall is the ability to crank up, you know, I mean, pretty soon they might have their computer chips so that they can, you know, run their AI. But if I don't have any computer chips, I can't use the AI, right? So we've got a battle on resources here, whether it be these, you know, big data centers to run this stuff or the, you know, technology of getting the computer parts.
[00:18:36] You know, if we have China take over Taiwan, there ain't no computer parts for me and you anytime soon kind of thing. And so there's big battles ahead that we're going to have to keep an eye on as well. But you guys discussed this big old rip and power new data centers in Utah. Utah is one of the kind of quintessential points for this now. There's a lot of feelings, strong feelings about this, doctor. Oh, there's a real passion brewing on this.
[00:19:00] There's a populist uprising, if you will, against something that the senior quote-unquote leaders of Utah are well behind. To me, it's kind of a really strange thing. This is kind of a, I don't know, curmudgeon-y thing to say about some of these things.
[00:19:24] Sometimes I feel like with the leadership being on board and it causes me concerns, some have suggested that the principal reason many get elected to Utah legislature is to facilitate their or their family or their cronies' efforts to do developments like this. And there is a populist pushback. And the issues are very real.
[00:19:47] We're being told an awful lot of broad-brush promises by the people that are doing this development, seeking to do it. And like I say from the governor and the most senior leadership, we've got a guy running for governor that's all on board and is endorsing it and everything. Anyway, the fact of the matter is there's environmental concerns. There's the idea of how to change their society and their little rural community.
[00:20:13] They're promised 2,000 jobs, but we've got to beat the Chinese. They're saying, you know, every patriot's in favor of this thing. But then they say they kind of turn this dark side to it. Anybody that's opposed to this as a basically a drone- Yeah, they should be arrested. I mean, come on. No, but the fact of the matter is the electrical requirements alone for this 40,000-acre facility
[00:20:38] are going to exceed the entire requirement for the electrical grid in the state of Utah. That's one thing. The other question is how do we deal with the water for all this? You know, we're in a spot where there's just, you know, water's a coveted resource. And I don't believe that Utah, for example, handles water rights very appropriately. They're very tyrannical in this and everything else. And pretty soon they'll be like, hey, you can't have a glass of water, but you can sure compute. It's kind of like how they want to put all the grain in your car for gas. You know, you'll drive around hungry.
[00:21:07] In this case, you'll be able to, you know, work on AI, but you'll be thirsty. Well, they say, oh, we got a solution for lots of these things. We're going to do recirculating water systems. Yeah, really? That's a good promise. But how's that working out? You look at the water. Well, do you have it in place right now where they circulate it properly? And only tell me how much water the plant needs then. Well, that's right. I mean, God set up this system and now you're going to bust it.
[00:21:31] But they're talking about huge amounts of heat generation, you know, 28 degree potential temperature increase for the area. That sounds excessive to me. It's terrifying. Well, think about that. What does it get in the summer there now? 100? Yeah. 105 degrees. Suddenly it's going to be, you know, Death Valley again here, whatever. This idea of where do we get this? Don't worry. We'll make it rain and cool it off, doctor. We'll just put some rain, you know, manipulating technology up there. We'll cool it off. We'll block the sun so it doesn't get too hot. We'll do all.
[00:22:01] They got all this covered, buddy. See, they're nuts. They're crazy. They think they can play God is the bottom line. Well, then there's a 42-inch, I think it is, gas pipeline that comes through the area they're going to use to burn that gas. Well, that's going to put tremendous, you know, heat into the area.
[00:22:21] And so, but the 42-inch gas pipeline, at using its maximum capacity, you know, its cubic feet per minute kind of thing, that will cover the very low end of what they're anticipating the generation of electricity is going to require as they turn their turbines to make this electricity. Well, that's because you just basically kind of pitch it very soft and it isn't what it'll eventually be. It's kind of like how they promised Micron would bring tons of jobs into Utah.
[00:22:48] We gave massive tax breaks, did all these things, brought them all in, and it was a big old nothing burger for the most part. Well, you're right. I mean, all of these are grand examples of great failures. Good examples of bad examples, I guess we could call it. But they're using a group called MIDA, Military Installation Development Authority. Well, that sounds pretty authority. Well, it's about as good as maybe the Federal Reserve or maybe the USA Patriot Act.
[00:23:15] They're using this nomenclature to give it some kind of aura of this is an important thing for us militarily. I wish there were time to talk about what happened back in the 1970s with the MX missile thing and how really it was a big deal that was not a good idea. And Utah was going to be at the center of the profitability of that. And we seem to be full of these deals that are not really a good idea in the long run.
[00:23:44] And the problem is, is candid honesty is at the core of this. We don't have that. We get lied to about what it really means. We get kind of schnookered. And what you really end up with is taxpayers paying most of the bill. And that's really one of the biggest problems with it. Not to mention some of the environmental realities. Where's the environmentalists when you need them? They should be rioting about this. But strangely, they're silent, doctor. Well, I think that we're long on promises, short on details. I'm afraid they'll start the development and find out the big promises fall through. Then what?
[00:24:14] I mean, if we can't even build a reflective pool successfully, what do you think of this? Oh, baby. All right. Thank you so much, Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com.
