AI, AGI, the budget not vetoed, John Bolton,

Trump has a Republican majority, so why isn't the border wall just being funded?

What is creating our deficit? Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security! Two-thirds of our federal budget are entitlements!

Ben Shapiro says John Bolton's views are extraordinarily clear. Ben wanted him as Secretary of State, but he is happy to have him as National Security Advisor.

Two definitions of Neocons. One is someone who was a lefty during the 1960s then got mugged by reality and became more conservative (me!). Bolton was always a conservative! The other definition of Neocon is someone who wants to get rid of dictators and then rebuild their countries into democracies. That is also not Bolton.

Trump now has two guys who are critics of Obama's Iran Deal; Bolton at NSA, and Pompeo at State.

Glenn Beck joins Ben to talk about big ideas, deeper issues, like AI. What are the goals of the programmers? AGI is Artificial General Intelligence. AI is what we have now. In maybe ten years we'll have AGI, which is more like the human brain. The next step would be ASI, intelligence that is far beyond human abilities. Putin has begun research on AGI and China is even farther along. We're not, says Glenn. Putin says "Whoever gets AGI first will rule the world."
