Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now let's bring in Kevin Surreally. I love talking to
Kevin because he doesn't just talk about what's happening now.
He doesn't talk about what happened in the past. He's
talking about the future. In fact, he is a futurist
reporter and I really believe he may be the only
futurist reporter in the country. And he is founder of
the Meet the Future website. Kevin, before we start, is

(00:22):
that how you get to your website. You just write
out meet the Future. Ye meet the Future dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
You can go to m you go to MTF for
me the Future, MTF dot TV, MTF dot tv. And
we are just growing like crazy. And honestly, Larry, thank
you so much for all the time that you have
me on and it's really exciting to see how this
has taken off. And trust me when I tell you,
in the next six months, it's only going to get

(00:48):
bigger and bigger.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I can well, that was a tease. Why what's happening.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'll look into the future? I look it. Well, we've
got our daily newsletter and we're just at the early
stages now putting together a board and it's gonna hopefully
be you know, I don't trust the media. I trust Larry,
but I don't really trust the mainstream media. And I
think it's because the media has stopped covering a lot

(01:17):
of the huge transformations that are happening right before our
eyes robotics, space, exploration, health technology and explaining it to people.
And when they do cover it, they're very doom and
gloom about it and not very optimistic. And so I
think the intention, one of the intentions of MCF Meet

(01:38):
the Future, is to help empower people about the future
that they don't have to be so afraid of it,
and to help explain how technology can help them become
more human and that it could be a good thing,
especially on the health side.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, it's MTF dot TV. Thanks for clearing that up.
But I believe, and look at I've worked at newspapers,
you know, I've worked in radio, I worked in in
TV my whole life. I've had a long career in media,
and I believe that media doesn't cover it the way
it should be covered simply because they don't understand it.
They don't have someone life I agree, someone like you

(02:13):
who's an expert in this, and that's the only reason
that's That's what you're seeing in the media right now
is they should be hiring people that have a grasp
of what's going on. Instead, they take a reporter and
they put them on this story and they and many
times they don't know what they're talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well, a lot of like earlier this week, to your point,
I got to hear General Gutline, here's the head of
Space Force. I heard him speak about the Golden Zome
and the technology that that is going to require to
protect not just Americans but all of our cyber assets
and whatnot, and just a ray of life. And hearing

(02:54):
him speak about it and the technology that that is
going to happen in order to deploy this capability by
twenty twenty eight, which is just around the corner. It's
an incredible feat for America that we're able to launch
such technology to protect ourselves in the next couple of years,
and that is really unprecedented. And to your point, I think,

(03:16):
regardless of your thoughts on Elon Musk or Sam Altman
or Mark Zuckerberg, we can't cover going to Mars as
just a vanity project for a billionaire, which is how
the media covers it. They don't talk about why it's important.
From a security standpoint, from a communications standpoint, from a

(03:36):
technology standpoint, why should you want to go to Mars. Well,
the average human being interacts with space based technology more
than two dozen times per day, I mean right now
and calling into your radio program, the satellites that are
involved with this. You take out space. Our whole entire

(03:56):
way of life, our banking systems, our communication systems, the
way that we navigate the world every single day as
Americans is taken out. And so I really totally agree
with your point that the media does not do a
good job explaining these issues to the public, and the
public sees right through it. The public understands that they're

(04:18):
not getting the full story, and they've had it. And
so MCF is hopefully going to help translate all of
these issues to the public so that they can make
more informed decisions about these issues.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
You know who does get it, And to your point
about how important space is, He's the one that launched
space for us, even though people talked about it since Eisenhower.
But he also had an executive order this week, as
a matter of fact, a series of executive orders to
boost US dominance in artificial intelligence which is huge, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes, Oh my gosh, yes. And I grew up outside
of Philadelphia, and last week President Trump was outside of
Pitch on the other side of the state from where
I grew up with really all of the heads of
AI and technology and revitalizing a plant in outside of
Pittsburgh is the data center. Data centers are what power

(05:14):
artificial intelligence, and so the electricity needs as a result
of America's boom on artificial intelligence, which by the way,
Americans inventive. We should be proud of that as an
American invention, we are going to need more electricity. We're
going to need data centers, which is a complete revitalization
of the energy sector here in the United States. In fact,
they're talking about putting data centers on the Moon because

(05:37):
of how much AI we're going to need as a society,
which is another reason people should care about space. But
to your point, earlier this week, President Trump signing three
executive orders for AI and trying to declare dominance against
the Chinese Communist Party. And that's really what this is
all about. And so I thought you were going to

(05:57):
say that Trump invented space, force that she also I did.
I did say that.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, you missed it on that. You know what, Kevin,
We we do. We do have to run, but let's
get let's catch you on again. We have to talk
more about AI because it's absolutely the future. Don't be sorry,
don't be sorry. You were fascinating. Kevin Surreally futurist reporter
