Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Night Show.
As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Thursday, the fourth of April. You're
of our Lord, twenty twenty four. Well, today we're going to begin
with war. We haven't talked about it for a while, but there's some
amazing new developments We've got. That new trick is being pushed, and there
is apparently the targeting of suspects using artificial intelligence, so targeting for assassination using
artificial intelligence, the targeting of people and watching and waiting until they get to
their home and then assassinating them. So we're going to begin with that.
We're going to talk about the pandemic and the people who are still pushing the
fear. Amazing to see how this is still happening, and amazing, as
one doctor says, to just distress knowing what is going on. Some people
keep coming into my office and continue to ask me to get up to date
for this booster. And so we'll be right back. There's a lot to
talk about today. We'll be right back. Well, it happened over the
weekend, but I have not talked about it this week yet because I want
to focus on the bigger, long term plan. But of course, as
Jerald Clinty has always said, when everything fails, they take you to war.
And it appears that there is a relentless march toward that now, both
in Ukraine and also in the Middle East with the attack by Israel. It's
kind of interesting to see the attack by Israel Syrian on an Iranian embassy in
Syria to assassinate an individual. I thought it was kind of interesting to see
that take a back seat to the targeted attack of some food aid workers,
and it was widely reported, you know, the food aid workers. Everybody
was focused on that. Even though there were a couple of articles in the
news feed like your Reiters and other things about the attack into Syria against the
Iranians, the targeted assassination and the implications of that, most people do not
pick that up. Conservative or mainstream media did not pick that up. I
thought that was interesting. But I want to begin with this letter that was
sent to me from a listener, Vivian from Canada, and she said,
I want to talk a little bit about Palestine, the obvious demolition and genocide
in the Gaza strip as we know it. She said, my family's in
the West Bank. For their safety, I cannot disclose the town. They
are allowed phone calls in and out of the West Bank, but the calls
are always listened to by the occupation, so they've not been able to share
for fifty years. What is really going on. My cousin called yesterday and
shared that the occupation has frozen their bank accounts, because that's the way this
is all going to roll out. Isn't it interesting how they've displaced the people.
They have done everything they can to keep them from getting food. But
of course, you know in other areas are going to come after the banking.
That's what we're going to see here as well. I'm not clear if
it is everyone's bank accounts. My cousin is not able to pay her mortgage.
She also said that robbery has increased. It's not clear if it is
settlers or generally just everyone who is committing this crime. It has become violent
break ins, cars stolen, people being beaten in their homes or car keys
for gold, etc. This is one of the reasons why they've opened up
our borders, folks. They want total chaos, homes set on fire.
My cousin is not able to go to work because the occupation, random shooting
of Palestinians, and road closures. It's never been this bad, she said.
I don't hear many people speaking about the rest of Palestine. And again,
when we look at this, it's one of these things like the border.
I don't spend that much time on it typically because there's not that much
we can really do about those issues. Yes, we can prepare locally,
and for the border issue, I just had somebody send me a report was
from Fox News and comments from the podcast who said, yeah, they're targeting
Tennessee now. They want to start bringing in migrants to Tennessee instead of dealing
with them at the border, Let's just grab them immediately, put them on
a plane, and send them into Red States. Because to them everything was
about politics. This is not about politics. This is far beyond that.
They want to make sure that they have chaos everywhere these people who come in.
I don't really They will use them for the census, and they will
use it to get more representation. It's what we hear in some place,
and that's a plausible, plausible thing. But why would they do that to
Tennessee when Tennessee is heavily Republican. No, they want chaos everywhere. The
people who interpret everything in terms of politics are missing the big picture here.
This is a war of extermination and of leveling all of civilization so they can
I impose their global tyranny. And so whenever you look at this, you
need to keep that in mind and understand that context again, the context that
we've seen before. While they're going to come in and they're going to have
they're bringing in these voters, and in the past and a slow movement,
you could make that argument that they would come in, you could put them
on welfare, they'd be more likely to vote for the Democrats and that type
of thing. This is escalating too quickly. This is truly an invasion.
It was an invasion with the first caravans that began when people realized that Trump
was a paper tiger. When it came to the border. At first,
there was everything stopped. They thought, oh, we don't know where this
guy's going to do. Let's wait and see. They saw he wasn't going
to do anything, and that's when the first caravans began. And it's now
escalated even beyond that with Biden. But the purpose of this now is economic
chaos, financial chaos, the Cloward and pivot thing, but also the chaos
and the violence. So she's talking about the crime that is happening here.
Because they're blocking people from being able to have a normal life, even blocking
their bank accounts, people turn to crime. A lot of these people are
now turning to crime. A lot of these squatters who are coming in,
they call them undocumented migrants there, squatters when they come in. Now they're
organizing, as they're reported yesterday, they're organizing crime gangs, just like they've
organized crime gangs and the jurisdictions where Sourus put in his district attorneys knowing that
they're not going to be punished. That's why they're sending the migrants into areas
like Tennessee. It's not because care about representation of the votes or anything.
They're way beyond that. They can manipulate these elections very very easily. So
a huge American flag burning protest erupted as Iran vows revenge for the deadly Israeli
strike and Damascus. They demolished Iran's consulate to kill two Iranian generals that were
there, and they also killed eight people. So they destroyed the building,
killed eight people to get these two generals. This is something. When I
get to this artificial intelligence program that picks targets and assassinates them, you'll see
what the targeted assassination looks like. It looks exactly like this is going on
all the time within Gaza. So again I thought it was strange. This
is largely ignored. This bombing in Damascus, this is targeted assassination in Damascus
was largely ignored, because, yes, I understand when you talk about people
who are there a multinational group including somebody with American citizenship and a lot of
different countries represented by these food aid workers who are targeted, hunted down,
and killed. I understand that is as I said in the past. You
know, the murder of a million people is a statistic. The murder of
one person is a tragedy, or the death of one person is a tragedy.
And so there's that aspect to it. The cold, calculated aspect of
it, I guess, was more shocking than going after generals that you would
consider to be a military target, even though they're not officially at war.
But Lindsey Graham and Netanyahu and these people who want to take us into World
War three. They do want to go out to these military targets, and
they want to expand the war into Iran. They've been wanting to do this
for decades in the United States. But the thing that got the most attention
was Israeli assassination of seven World Central Kitchen Food Aid workers. That's the organizations
World Central Kitchen and they gave food aid. And what was striking about this
was and you can even see it from the bombed car that's very well marked
as to what it is. And it was done in three successive stages.
They had robots hunting drones hunting down the individuals to make sure they killed every
last person that was there, despite the fact that it was three different attacks.
This reminds me very much of the Collateral murder tape that was exposed by
WikiLeaks, showing American soldiers at a distance shooting up people. And I don't
even remember whether it was Iraq or Afghanistan. Now these wars are running together,
aren't they. But in the clip you see some people there. You
see very clearly in the released video footage that they did not want to come
out, but it was released by a whistleblower and it was published by Julian
Assange's organization. But in the footage you see a person clearly carrying a camera,
a large camera at the time. You know it's cameras have gotten smaller,
but the professional news cameras are still pretty big anyway, carrying a camera
and they shoot them up and then they wait until an ambulance comes and they
start loading people in the ambulance and then they just shot the ambulance to pieces.
And it was murder. And that's the nickname they gave that tape.
Well, this is very much like that. The convoy was struck three times
in succession with a drone chasing the wounded AID workers from vehicle to vehicle to
make sure they were killed, no legitimate pretext and precise coordination with the IDF
Israeli Defense Force. The distance between each bomb w c K that's the world
what was whether that stand for World Central Kitchen Group, so we'll just refer
them as a WCK. The distance between each bombed w CK and the other
shows beyond any doubt that the IDF took their time to deliberately and surgically eliminate
the entire crew. The second car was bombed after it rescued the survivors of
the first, and the third after it rescued the survivors from the second,
they bombed the first car. Some of the staff er into the second car,
but the IDF bombed it wounded them. Third car came IDF bombed it,
killing all the aid workers. Israel claims their drones spotted an armed individual
guarding a w CKAID truck, a policeman who was there to prevent looting,
that traveled in the convoy with three w CK cars. That was good enough
reason for the IDF to bomb each single one of the three cars and slaughter
everyone. As Glenn Greenwall points out, he said, even Israel's excuse for
shooting three missiles at a convoy of aid workers on an approved route and a
clearly marked and clearly marked cars, even that excuse is reprehensible. They mistakenly
thought there was one armed terrorist quote unquote if that had been true, does
that justify them continuing to assassinate every single person and clearly marked cars in a
route where they had notified this real Look, I understand that there is the
fog of war. That's one of the reasons why you don't continue a war
forever, and once you do, you no longer have the high ground.
This is why you don't start a war, accept in self defense after you've
been attacked. But then the purpose is to try to minimize collateral what we
call collateral damage. I don't know I even use that term. Now what
what I hate? Pentagonese's a cynical such a lie. To minimize civilian deaths,
non combatants. And so that's the purpose of the West. Why we
wear uniforms. You want to try to minimize that. You want to try
to minimize the length of the war, the damage of the war, the
extent of the war, not to drag it on forever. But that's what
we do. That's what America has done and continues to do. The clip
I played yesterday of Julianusange saying, the purpose of this war is not to
win it, and this is he was talking about Afghanistan. Every one of
our wars. The purpose is not to win it. The purpose is to
keep it going. They can launder money through this to their friends and the
military industrial complex. The military can also use it as a live laboratory for
their weapons. They can use it to train their soldiers because they don't care
who died. They don't care if their soldiers die, they don't care if
civilians die. Let's just keep this going in as soon as we lose the
war in Afghanistan and we can move on to some other place and have another
war over there, we'll start a new war somewhere else. I always got
to keep that war going. The WCK people say that seven employees were killed
in a quote targeted attack by the IDF after they had quote unloaded more than
one hundred tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza. You see, that's
the reason, because this is not just massive bombing, this is targeted starvation.
That's the key thing. The World Central Kitchen seven WCK team members killed
in Gaza, the Spike coordinating movements, they said. This is the group's
reply the Spike coordinating movements with the IDF. The convoy was hit as it
was leaving the warehouse where the team had unloaded more than one hundred tons of
humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route. This is not only
attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the
most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war.
That's precisely what is happening right now. They're trying to starve these people.
You come in here and you're going to give them a hundred tons of food,
well will kill you. Oh it was an accident, sure, yeah,
well had the desired effect. Food Aid workers have now gotten out of
there because they realize what's going on. These people say this is unforgivable.
They got people different nationalities, Australia, Poland, UK, US, Canada.
These people were there, Max Blumenthal says, clearly targeted Israeli strike on
an eight group led by a State Department culinary ambassador. That's what Biden has.
People called the leader a culinary ambassador. They coordinate their movements with the
Israeli army, all designed to end its aid operations and perpetuate mass starvation in
Gaza. Now watch the Biden administration minimize this, he said, or if
they even talk about it. A lot of people left and right were talking
about this attack. Chef Andres the one who's leading it. I have no
idea who this guy is. I don't look at food channels or whatever it
is. He was not an opponent of Israel. As a matter of fact,
he had defended Israel's war in Gaza mid October against he lives in Spain,
against comments that were made by the Spanish minister that Israel was committing genocide
and not letting in humanitarian aid. He pushed back against that, and he
defended Israel's right to respond after the October seventh events. But then he changed
his tune after this. What he said was, today I lost several of
our sisters and brothers in an idf air striking Gaza. I'm heartbroken and grieving
for their families and friends in our whole WCK family. These are people,
angels and I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas,
Indonesia. They're not faceless, they are not nameless. The Israeli government
needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It's not indiscriminate, it's very discriminating.
I'm going to get into that. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid,
needs to stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a
weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity,
and it needs to start now. He said, what Israel is doing is
clearly a stench to the entire world. And Netta, who is going to
perpetuate this, He's having massive demonstrations against him at home and to all the
people who want to give Israel a free pass. Just understand, Christians,
this is a political system, and God does not sign on to any political
system. He's got principles, and you can check the principles first before you
impose your eschatology. Okay, there's clear principles, clear moral principles that are
violated here, and you excuse it because of your prophecy charts. That's despicable,
and you've got your you've got your analysis completely inverted. It's just amazing
to me to see people excuse the worst atrocities because they've got some complicated prophecy
chart and they've all got a different one. It's just amazing to me.
Christian constitutional conservative, there has to be a continuous war. How can they
justify the billions in defense spending if you don't need to defend anything that's right,
because we're not going to defend our borders, right, not our borders.
So I've got to go somewhere else and say that this is vital to
our nation. This is a vital interest to our nation to be in Ukraine.
It's vital to have a coup in Ukraine, to create a conflict with
Russia, to continue to push push, push into Russia. That's vital to
our national security interest now, So again going back to what happened with the
provocation, trying to provoke Iran into striking, and they keep escalating this.
As I said before, you know, Iran does not want a direct confrontation
with the US or Israel, but the US and Israel want a direct confrontation
with Iran, and ISRAELI expert said exactly that. He said, they don't
want it, but this could change because why because we're going to provoke this
and they have now said we're preparing strikes on Israeli embassies. I said,
when I noticed how this was not getting any coverage, and then the attack
on the food aid workers happened and that got all the coverage, and said,
well, maybe they're just kind of holding this back. They don't want
to talk about it at all, give it much coverage because when and if
the Iranians strike back, we can then present them as the aggressors. Clearly
that's what the American government, the CIA had done to Americans, and it
worked. Americans don't realize that we did a coup in Iran in the nineteen
fifties throughout their leftist government, and like the guy wouldn't have voted for him,
but the Iranians did. He was going to nationalize some of the oil
industries, so they threw him out. They put the Shaw of Iran in
there. CIA trained his secret police at Slovakia. They were ruthless, they
were brutal, and it created so much of a blowback. After a couple
of decades of that, by the nineteen seventies, everybody was ready to have
a violent revolution and they did. And it was a CIA that essentially because
that blowback put the Iolahs in charge in Iran. And yet even with the
itola is in charge in Iran, when America accidentally shot down a passenger jet
in the same way that they accidentally shot down Flight eight hundred off of Long
Island, New York, they know since it was a foreign government, it
was not friendly to the United States. At that point in time, they
couldn't pretend that it wasn't them like they did in America, and so they
gave them a little bit of compensation, but they didn't do any terrorist attacks.
I think they understand that they're going to lose that war. They're going
to lose a lot of people. They seem to be more concerned about losing
a lot of people than we are. We just keep pushing and pushing and
pushing, and so then you've got Mike Johnson, the Ukraine and Josh Holly.
Senator Josh Holly said, regardless of how Johnson tries to mask more aid
to Ukraine, it is still more aid for Ukraine, and it is splitting
up the Republican caucus that is already very tiny majority. What is amazing to
me is that Mike Johnson clearly was bought off. Some people say he was
blackmail. I think he was bought off of the speakership. I mean,
it's pretty obvious he had always been adamantly opposed to aid for Ukraine until he
became speaker. The first thing he says was more aid for Ukraine. Now,
was that a condition of the job, Mike, did you sell out
your principles for that? Looks like it certainly looks like that was your reward,
you know, speak becoming speakers, so that you could push the Ukrainian
war on us without end. So every NATO member has got personnel in Ukraine.
That's according to the Estonian defense minister. Why would he say that and
why would they do that? Oh, well, they're just there as advisors,
right. I was under ten years old and all this stuff of Vietnam
began. I used to listen to the nightly news all the time. But
like I said before, I got roped in by Beethoven. It was I
didn't know, but it worked as a hook for me, and I was
out there and listen to the rest of it too. All this talk about
Vietnam advisors, Vietnam advice, more advisors, more advisors, more advisors.
That euphemism doesn't really work with me anymore. And so they're saying, well,
they're all there as advisors in Ukraine. Well, I see that as
pretty ominous because I know what happened with Vietnam. The Estonian tennis minister said
that because he was trying to assuage fears of the boasting by Immanuel Macron talking
about how they needed to send troops. Series says, well, he says,
the reality is that every NATO member or country already has military personnel in
Ukraine, such as military attaches are people who traveled to Ukraine from time to
time. What the French President Macron said mainly related to personnel training, he
said, But there's no talk of NATO soldiers fighting directly in any of that.
That's been ruled out. Oh has it? Maybe should tell Emmanuel Macron
that. And so that's all this is happening. You've got a Republican congressman
in Michigan, Tim Wahlberg, who and surprisingly this guy is a pastor,
and he's saying the solution for Gaza is Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You see,
perhaps he's buying into this because I don't know, because of his ideas about
how the world ends and the role of Israel and all the rest of this
stuff and his prophecy charts. I tell you, I'm just I'm just with
all this stuff. It just makes me disgusted to see these people make that
the main thing. It's disgusting. He said. Gaza should be handled like
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We shouldn't be spending a dime on humanitarian aid. Yeah,
it's a lot more monetarily efficient isn't it, says the pastor to just
drop a nuclear bomb on our enemies or people we don't want in an area.
The problem is that it makes it radio He just doesn't understand it makes
the area radioactive. And then Jared Kushner can't do his ocean front property development
on it. He's not really interested in that. I'd rather have us spend
the blood and treasure to clear people out. It should be like Nagasaki and
Hiroshima. Let's get it over a quick. What he means is quickly.
I'm sorry to be a grammar Nazi, but well, we're actually talking about
a Nazi. We're talking about a guy who's talking about nuclear war, and
I correct him on his grammar. You should say quickly. In response to
the controversy, Wahlberg claimed he was using a metaphor. I used a metaphor
to convey the need for both Israel and Ukraine to win their wards as swiftly
as possible without putting American troops and harms way. You know, he just
put the rest of the country in harms way with a nuclear war. Yeah,
well, let's just how could we use it? See now he brings
in Ukraine, so please tell us, pastor, how could you use nuclear
weapons to win the war in Ukraine without starting a nuclear war with Russia.
Please explain that to us. You got that on your prophecy chart. Genius.
I'm going to tell you these wars began an infamy and they are going
to end in ignominity and defeat, as all of our wars since World War
II have unjust wars and a justified defeat. Again, he is, as
one person said, Ken Wahlberg, pastor and good Christian. See this is
why when you look at these people who wrap themselves and the mantle of Christ,
like Donald Trump, he comes out. It's a genius move for him
to say. Well, okay, Biden declares transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday.
So I'm going to declare that November fifth, election day is going to
be Christian Visibility Day. All these Christians are going to come out and vote
for me, not me, not me. Well, I tell you keep
up with that kind of stuff. I'll vote for the other guy just to
make sure you don't win. You are nothing like Christ, and neither is
Wahlberg. Or yeah, Wahlberg is his name. You're opposed to Christ you're
anti Christ, the little a. We'll see if Trump gets the capital letter
promotion, right, will he get a capital promotion? Become an upper case
a anti Christ? Yeah, give him the horotia matreatment. Get it over
with quickly, well quick so he can save some money. But this is
where world War three has headed. You know, any Jacobson I've I've enjoyed
her books. I've I've talked about them at length. I haven't tried to
get an interview with her. She's doing a lot of interviews now about this
new book, which is about nuclear war. But she's done excellent books on
DARPA. Really enjoyed her DARPA books, talking about the beginning of DARPA,
the Jason and scientists, and you know how after World War two and then
they really started using them extensively in Vietnam as they were using that as a
test bed for weapons for the military industrial complex. She talked about Operation paper
Clip, and you can't really understand what's going on with all these germ games
from the CIA and all this bioweapons stuff and everything if you don't understand Operation
paper Clip. They brought in Nazi scientists and Japanese scientists Japanese scientists too,
had used American soldiers as lab rats to experiment on them. They brought them
in and put them in these programs that they had set up Fort Dietrich and
Maryland and other places like that. They would always make sure they had an
American officer at the top, but these guys were the ones who are actually
running it. And she did some excellent stuff on Operation paper Clip, on
Dharpa. She did a book about Area fifty one, which I'm not the
least bit interested in any of that stuff, but she has access to all
these people in the Pentagon. That makes me a little bit suspicious. She
tries to be very, very neutral, and I guess that's what gives her
her Either that studied neutrality or the fact that they're using her to put information
out. I don't know, but it is interesting what comes out. And
she said, so, she's done all these books for years and years and
talking to people in the military and the Pentagon. And she said, whenever
I talk to people, they would say, well, we do this because
we don't want to have a nuclear war. She said, they all say
that, And so she says, so, I thought I would do a
book about nuclear war and the effects that it's going to have. And so
one of the quotes from her she's doing the interview rounds, she says,
hundreds of millions would die in the first seventy two minutes of a nuclear war.
And so she said, the US Defense Department has an early warning system.
The system in space is called the sbi RS, a constellation of satellites
that is keeping an eye on all of America's enemies. So the moment an
ICBM launches, they see the hot rocket exhaust on the ICBM A fraction of
a second after it launches. This begins a horrifying policy called launch on warning,
and that is the US counter attack. So she said, the reason
they keep watches so that they can immediately launch a counter strike. She said
that policy, launch on warning is exactly what it like. It says.
It means the US will not wait to absorb a nuclear attack, it will
launch nuclear weapons in response before the bomb actually hits. One of the things
that concerns me, and of course, it was a movie. I think
it's called war Games or something. Matthew Broderick, you know, let's play
a game, let's do nuclear war, that type of thing. But a
very crude projection of what they're talking about with artificial intelligence. Of course,
they're going to have to be faster and faster, So they're going to have
to have artificial intelligence in the loop. What if artificial intelligence starts to hallucinate
about something, What if it gets it wrong because it gets stuff wrong all
the time. Oh, we got some humans in the loop as well.
Will those humans counteract artificial intelligence? Maybe we need to do another experiment like
the Milgrim experiment. You know, the Milgrim experiment. You had a test
subject too, his given controls, and he was told that he was shocking
the person in another room. When the guy would tell him, you know,
they'd ask a question, they told him something else about the purpose of
the experiment. So, you know, we're going to ask questions. When
the person gets it wrong, we're going to give him a shock. And
so they would start doing this, and then he would gradually have him raise
the level of the shock, and the person on the other side was acting
that they were being hurt increasingly until they get all the way up to a
fatal shot. They found that two thirds of the people would do that.
By the way, I mentioned that, I got it confused I equivocated that
to the ash experiment, and where you have somebody that is the test subject,
is in a group. Everybody else is in on the gag in there,
and they asked them questions and have you raise your hand, and they
were to see if they were going to be susceptible to peer pressure, and
so everybody the answer would be very obvious, very simple, like you know
which line is longer? And they found that a third, not two thirds
as I'd reported before, but they found a third of the people. It
was the opposite way, But they did find two thirds of the people would
do what the person authority told them to do up to it, including a
lethal jolt. And they did this experiment many times, many different cultures.
They even did a French TV show called Game of Death, and the audience
was part of that as well. They were not in on the gag.
Well maybe they were in on the gag. I don't know, but it
was a very popular, popular thing and certainly the person up front was not
in on it. But that's a person who's an authority. What happens when
it is artificial intelligence, and they've told you over and over again, well,
artificial intelligence is objective, it doesn't make mistakes and all the rest stuff.
Just like they told you that Donald Trump was completely opposite of the globalist.
He opposed everything they did until he did everything that they did. But
even after he did everything they did, people have been so conditioned to see
Trump as the anti globalist. They excuse it. Well, you know,
it's the people that he picked to betrayed him, or he didn't know what's
going on, or this or that. Oh, he's totally incompetent, but
we need to get him back in because he's going to save us. That
type of thing totally delusional. So what happens when you put artificial intelligence in
the loop of this launch on warning system? What happens if it doesn't get
it right? What happens if these people are looking at you, Well,
no, that doesn't seem right, but the AI says it is, so
push the button and start the war. And more than one occasion in the
past the order has been given or Russian or American forces to launch a nuclear
strike, only for it later to emerge that the command was issued in error.
But we may not be so lucky the next time. The best sort
of hitting the nail on the head statement is in President Reagan's memoirs. He
refers to the six minute window, and he calls it irrational. He says,
how can anyone make a decision to launch nuclear weapons based on a blip
on a radar scope? Oh, I guess we'll just need to bring in
artificial intelligence, because it'll be able to discern that without any air. Of
course, so Annie Jacobsen points out that, unlike what we see in the
movies, a nuclear missile cannot be recalled or diverted once a launch button has
been pushed, something that Reagan himself did not know. She said. The
US has seventeen hundred and seventy nuclear weapons deployed, meaning those weapons could launch
it as little as sixty seconds and up to a couple of minutes. Some
of them on bombers might take an hour or so, you know, like
doctor Strange Love, Well, we got them all called back, except for
this one plane that doesn't seem to be responding. You know, they got
there, they took a near hit and it took out their radio, and
you had some pickings ride that bomb all the way down. It started all
off. Russia has sixteen hundred and seventy four deployed nuclear weapons, same scenario.
Their weapons systems are on par with us. That's not to mention the
twelve five hundred nuclear weapons amongst the other nine nuclear armed nations. She said,
when the weapons detonate, three hundred mile per hour winds would cause a
massive carnage. She said, you're talking about people who are miles out getting
sucked up into the stem of that mushroom. She said, when you see
the mushroom cloud, that would be people. That would be people. But
of course it's just a statistic, right. We don't care about that.
I may care about personalized assassinations, but we don't care when you know millions
of people, that's just statistic. She says. She interviewed dozens of major
political and military figures about the concept of nuclear deterrence, and they all agreed
on one detail. She said. Every source I interviewed for this book,
from former secretaries of Defense, nuclear sub force commanders, stratcom commanders, FEMA
directors, nuclear weapons engineers, they all shared with me the common denominator that
nuclear war is insane. She said, if the president made that faithful decision
to strike back, countless lives would be snuffed out in less time that takes
to play a game of football. We always couch this in the discussion,
that we would be attacked first. Why is that? Why wouldn't we have
somebody like Biden or Trump or Obama or George W. Bush or Clinton?
Why wouldn't they push the button first? Do you think they have some kind
of a moral prohibition against that? I certainly don't. I mean they have
illustrated. They have over and over again initiated wars where we were not attacked.
We had no interest in that war, and over and over again.
Now everything that they do is designed to destroy this country. Whether you're talking
about the borders, or you're talking about the climate mcguffin, or you're talking
about the pandemic mcguffin. Everything the American government does is designed to destroy this
country and to kill us and enslave the survivors. Why would we think that
we're always going to be responding. Why wouldn't we be the initiators of this?
When you look at the kinds of people that are running our government,
they're mass murders, they're insane, they hate this country. She said,
first, millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of people die in
the first seventy two minutes of a nuclear war, and then comes the nuclear
winter, where billions will die from starvation not being able to grow food.
The fallout that everybody talks about is something you have to worry about for a
few days, but then it dissipates a fairly quickly. The longer term issue
is starvation, and of course we will have massive armies of people that they've
brought into this country. If they survive, it's really going to be one
of these apocalyptic dystopian sci fi films. So Zelensky is mobilizing younger men in
Ukraine, but it's not enough for Lindsey Graham. You say, this is
why, I say, why wouldn't we be the ones to start it?
I can certainly imagine Lindsey Graham would just be itching to get his finger on
that button and push it. Lindsey Graham chastise Kiff for failing to call up
younger people because their draft age. They've extended it on the up end,
but their draft age has been twenty seven and they lowered it to twenty five,
and he was furious about that. I can't believe it's a twenty seven
said Lindsey Graham. You're in a fight for your life, so you should
be serving, not at twenty five or twenty seven. We need more people
on the line. Well, you go, man the line, you mass
murder. Lindsey Graham never saw a war he didn't like. I don't know
what his problem is. I mean, you could look at John McCain.
You can say this guy is twisted in body and soul from that experience that
he had in Vietnam. You could kind of guess that that was what was
going on with him. What is Lindsey Graham's excuse. He's never done anything,
He's never been a part of any of these wars, This couch potato
war mongering hawk. Well, you need to get more people out there.
I can't believe you're not sending people out there younger than twenty five. We've
got to have more people on the line, kill more people, more Ukrainians
fight them to the last Ukrainian. So according to the head of the kiv
International Institute of Sociology that conducts poles within Ukraine, he claims that only eight
percent of Ukrainians are willing to take up arms. You say it's always rich
men's war. Poor man's fight, isn't it. We may not like these
wars. You may have massive numbers of people. Netnyahu not very popular before
this war began, becoming even more unpopular in Israel. And yet these people
are gonna nudge us into this. If they can get Iran to strike back,
if they can get somebody, they can provoke somebody. They're always knocking
chips off of people's shoulders, punching them in the you know, sucker punching
them and all the rest of the stuff. They can get somebody to strike
back. Oh, now it's on, and most of the people and most
of the countries will just fall in line on rock fin William Wallace, that's
who we need, William Wallace. I've been sucked deep into the Kill Decision
book David mentioned a while back. Yeah, that's about the change of the
use of drone warfare, and that is a very interesting book, ghost bo.
Within this decade, the atomic weapon will no longer be considered the most
catastrophic thing to humanity, rather AI and robotics. Exactly right. You know
what is going to happen, and we'll talk about this when we come back.
What will happen is is they turned this over to autonomous killing machines.
All these things, they'll be able to go in and and hut people down
and kill people and then you know, Jared Kushner can just move into the
empty areas after they've turned off the robots and enjoy the view on his see
signed veranda. This goes back to the neutron bomb. Jimmy Carter. Oh,
let's have something with enhanced radiation so we can kill the people but leave
the buildings intact mostly. And so that's the type of thing that they're looking
for with us, these killer autonomous killer robots. They'd love to be able
to do that, and they're working and moving in that direction very quickly as
well. We'll be right back here News now at apsradionews dot com or get
the APS radio app and never miss another story. Liberty, it's your move.
And now the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back, and
I want to thank a couple of people left tips on rock Fan. Mary
ellen Moore, thank you very much and James, thank you both those on
rock Fan. And I want to let's talk about technology, but let's before
we leave the war stuff. This is where the two overlap and just as
Gotrie and I were talking about the other day, the real problem is,
you know, we both began we love technology back in the seventies. We
saw the computers as being our friend, you know, and of course many
of us saw the this is great the Internet. We've got access to information
that goes way back verse. Now they're scrubbing it left and right, and
we got free speech and all the rest of this stuff. But it was
a trap. They got everybody in and then they closed the gates on that
digital ghetto to start controlling our speech. But yeah, technology has now gone
the way that it was described and were warned about with by Eisenhower. The
military industrial complex and academia which is also a part of that, have now
taken over the funding and the research and turned technology into a tool of power
for wicked, entrenched people. And so here's the latest example of this,
something called Lavender, an AI machine directing Israel's bombing spree in Ganza. That's
the headline from nine to seven to two mag dot Com and another organization,
a local call they put this together and said the Israeli army has marked tens
of thousands of Gozins as suspects for assassination using an AI targeting system with little
human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, and by that they mean civilian
casualties or the euphemistically call collateral damage. In twenty twenty one, a book
titled The Human Machine Team, How to Create Synergy between human and Artificial Intelligence
that will Revolutionize our World was released in English under the pen name Brigadier General
Ys. In it, the author, a man we have confirmed to be
the current commander of the elite Israeli intelligence Unit eighty two hundred, makes the
case for designing a special machine they could rapidly process massive amounts of data to
generate thousands of potential targets from military strikes in the heat of war. Such
technology, he writes, would resolve what he describes as a quote human bottleneck
for both locating new targets and decision making to approve the targets unquote. That's
one of the reasons why I had the guy that I interviewed, and again
I didn't talk to him about the things in which I disagree. He works
for the military industrial complex, very heavily connected on the inside, but he
had written a book where they're talking about the use of robotics to fly fighter
jets, get rid of the restrictions of g forces that knock out humans and
everything, so that they could fly much more radically, they could shoot more
accurately, and all the rest of this stuff. But in many other ways
they were experimenting the military's experiment with robots. And the book was four battle
Grounds, I think, or battlefields I think, it's battlegrounds, and in
it these were four areas that we're already, essentially in their minds, fighting
a war with China, and so it always went back to China. But
I was more interested in what he had to say about the current status of
artificial intelligence. And of course one of the issues that even he had a
problem with that all of them have a problem with, was he said,
the pressure is is that as both sides start to adopt this technology when we
talk about launch on warning and in fact you only got six minutes to make
a decision with the missiles that are there, and the missiles keep getting faster
and faster, and then a battlefield decision, you have to start making the
decisions faster and faster, and if you don't react very very quickly. Then
you're going to lose. And so there's constant pressure to take humans out of
the loop entirely because hey, you've got to have If they're making their decisions
and they're kill decisions using AI, we aren't going to be able to keep
up. We'll have our resources destroyed before we can get a decision from the
human. So let's turn the decision making over to the robots. And he
said, and then the question is how do you get the robots to stop?
And once you turn over that kill control, that kill decision to the
robots, how does it stop. That's always a question, isn't it.
And yet it is always this arms race attitude, Well we got to do
it because the other guy's going to do it. That's the thing that always
draws us into all of these issues. That's the thing that has caused us
to do what the Japanese did it Pearl Harbor, and that is to say,
well, it's inevitable we're going to have a conflict, so let's strike
first, because hey, for all practical purposes, we're already already at war.
That's why I say, who's to say that the US have to make
a six minute decision. We might be the ones who institute, who instigate
this, especially if you got somebody like Lindsey Graham, and there's plenty of
people like Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham is Lindsey Graham says the quiet part out
loud. And then occasionally you got a guy like that Michigan congressman who says
the quiet part out loud. But that's what most of them are thinking,
and most of them just do what they're told. Like Johnson, so he
said, we're going to have to remove the human bottleneck, as this guy
wrote, who is now? They believe, they're certain, but I haven't
seen their evidence, but they believe that he is head of the Israeli intelligence
group that would be doing these targeted assassinations. They say, well, it
turns out such a machine like this already exists. A new investigation by a
nine to seven to two magazine and local call reveals that the Israeli Army has
developed an artificial intelligence based program known as Lavender, unveiled here for the first
time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers who have all served in the army
during the current war or on the Gaza Strip that have had firsthand involvement with
the use of AI to generate targets for assassination. Lavender has played a central
role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians. This is where all this eventually goes.
Geospatial intelligence, which you've been the fastest growing part of our intelligence community
since the late nineteen nineties, tightly tied into their support and development and financing
of the Internet and social media and all the rest of the stuff. This
is all about looking at social media, and of course that's the artificial intelligence,
and the chatbots are scraping social media and everything they can get off the
Internet, especially everything that you say, they're scraping that in and they're using
that as well as you know, people are talking about copying our books,
and it's copying our music, and it's copying our artwork and all the rest
of the stuff. Well, it's also profiling all of us and building up
a profile. And how long is it before our government decides once they're successful
in getting a civil war started or whatever, they have a kill list of
people that they want to go after. So this is kind of universal.
We see it happening right now. But the Israelian American government are really on
the same page when it comes to this type of stuff. So think about
this is not something that's happening in a distant land. This will come home.
Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially
during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to sources,
its influences on the military's operation was such that they essentially treated the outputs of
the AI machine as if it were a human decision. What I was saying
earlier, you're going to start getting artificial intelligence to give an assessment. I
mean, if you're present, you've got to try to make a decision as
to whether or not you're going to push the button, let's say, in
retaliation. Then wouldn't you like to have confirmation that this has been looked at
by a highly intelligent and objective computer, which, as we've seen with Gemini,
with interaction with chat GPT, it is not highly intelligent nor objective.
It's incredibly biased, and of course it's going to become increasingly stupid as it
begins to feed on its own material. So they call it inbreeding. Some
other people call it cannibalism. That is what's going to happen to these AI
machines. But they're going to increasingly be put in the position, well,
we have to do what machine said. Just take a look at Trump's decision
to shut everything down on that fateful Friday the thirteenth into twenty twenty. According
to him, two very smart people told him that they had to do it.
What those two smart people come to him with a computer simulation that was
done by people who aren't really very smart at all, the Imperial College of
London, where their model did not have the cave that were supposed to flatten.
There was no curve. There was no Far's law curve of epidemics,
you know, a bell shaped curve. It wasn't there. It's a straight
line going up forever. Every person infected infects another two and a half people,
and only that. But the implementation of that false model and computer code
was such that when the University of Edinburgh checked it, they said, we
give it exactly the same input and it would come out with different answers each
time. It's like a random number generator. So they picked the random number
generator output that was going to sell their case the best, and presented that
to a gullible, stupid or compromised Trump and oh well, okay, let's
do that. He's still selling that lie to people, still selling that lie.
Is he that stupid? Perhaps I'll give him the benefit of the doubt
and say he is really that stupid. Speaking of the stupidity of Trump and
the people that he puts around him. This Alina hab a lawyer that he's
got. You know, he just paid the one hundred and seventy one hundred
and seventy five million dollars where they reduced the bond or something, right the
judge did. He said, I can do that. Thank you for letting
me do that. I'll get that done. I got ten days to get
that done. So he turns it in. By the way, he runs
it through this this guy who does subprime automobile loans. I guess if he's
become a billionaire doing subprime loans, he's up for some risk. He's a
gambler like Trump is with his casinos if he's doing subprime auto loans, And
maybe he feels like in the near future he's going to have to have some
friends in high places to keep his billions of dollars. Nevertheless, he had
reached out to say, I'll give you a hand with this. Well Trump
could cover that, he said on his own, and he gave him the
cash and this guy wrote the check. Why do you do that? Well,
that part of it was smart, and it allows him to do something
with the interest rates. I didn't look at the details of it, but
basically there's some financial advantage for him to give the money to a third party
and have the third party act as if they are bonds people and send that
money in. But they sent the money in and his lawyer, Elena Haba,
doesn't fill out the paperwork properly, so the judge this is invalid.
You've probably got enough time, but he can get it done correctly. But
if you wait up to the last minute to get this thing done and as
lawyer blows the paperwork, I mean, it's just amazing to see how grossly
incompetent Trump is with the people that he picks and everything else anyway, so
he's still selling that lie. And if somebody comes to you with a print
out, of course, you know that's one of the first things I've said
many times, the garbage and garbage out first things they would tell us,
And and engineering you know, don't believe this just because you've got a computer
print out, and you'll learn that you can't trust the computers when you start
programming them yourself. So, but a lot of people, you know,
if it's if it's a computer, if it's artificial intelligence, oh well we're
going to go with that. And so this is what they're saying. People
treated the output of this AI machine, Lavender, as if it were a
human decision. Formally, the Lavender system is designed to mark all suspected operatives
in the military wings of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, including low ranking one
ones, to mark them all as potential bombing targets. The sources told nine
to seven to two and Local Call that during the weeks of the war.
First weeks of the war, the army almost completely relied on Lavender, which
clocked as many as thirty seven thousand Palestinians as suspected militants and their homes were
marked for possible air strikes. During the early stages of the war, the
army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender's kill lists, with no requirement
to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence
data on which they were based. One source stated that human personnel often served
only as a rubber stamp for the machine's decisions. And that's what we'll increasingly
see. And you're going to see that everywhere. You're going to see that
in business, you're going to see that. Uh you know, well,
we'll turn most of this stuff, well, we'll put that in, you
know, at the FDA to evaluate these drugs and stuff. We'll let the
artificial intelligence do it, and then we'll just we'll rubber stamp it saying we're
doing a human review. So once for lunch today, let's go. You
know, I'm not going to spend the time reading this stuff or doing the
hard work. And already did it. What's the point. I'll just sign
my name to it, and can I have a raise? Okay, So
there's no examination of the intelligence data, any question about how did you arrive
of this decision. One source stated that the human personnel often served as a
rubber stamp, adding normally they would personally devote only about twenty seconds to each
target before authorizing a bombing, just to make sure that the lavender marked target
is male. This was despite knowing that the system makes water regarded as errors
and approximately ten percent of the cases, and is known to occasionally mark individuals
who have merely a loose connection to militant groups or no connection at all.
You know, it's an interesting when you look at this, it's like,
okay, so this thing is ninety percent accurate. And I remember I was
getting some early text to speech things and they would be ninety percent accurate.
And the output when it's trying to, you know, create a text from
listening to somebody speak, the output was total gibberish. Total gibberish. If
you're only ninety percent correct, because you know, each time it's making these
decisions, these errors are accumulating. Anyway, you know, go take a
look at a some kind of text to speech generator that is ninety percent correct
and see what you get. Moreover, the Israeli Army system, and when
we're talking about killing people on the basis of that, right, not just
putting out a document that there's a bunch of gibberish and stupidity. More Over,
the Israeli Army systematically attack the targeted individuals while they were in their homes,
usually at night. So it's like a swat attack, except as with
a bomb. US a logical progression from where we're going with this kind of
stuff, right, they just bomb them. I don't want to. Why
waste the time and the money and put officers' lives in danger. Let's just
drop a bomb on these people. And so it would do it at night
while their whole family was present, rather than during a military operation. According
to the sources, this was because, from what they regarded as an intelligence
standpoint, easier to locate the individuals in their private houses. They were back
to geospatial intelligence and the importance of that geospatial intelligence being able to map your
patterns of behavior, to predict anticipatory intelligence, to predict what you're going to
do. Are you going to be a bad guy in the future. I
think so. I think we're going to do something about that right now.
We can't wait for that. The same logic that you see with these national
wars, they will use on an individual basis, Well, this person could
be a threat in the future. People like him have become threats, and
look at the people that he's got as friends, and look at his religious
beliefs, because we can infer that look at his political beliefs because they can
infer that, and we know all the different places that he goes. Additional
automated systems, including one called Where's Daddy. Oh yeah, this is one
is nice. Where's Daddy revealed that for the first time here, they were
used to specifically track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered
their family's residents. Where's Daddy. Is Daddy home yet? Yes, Daddy
is home? Bomb them. They know where Daddy is all the time,
but they want to wait until Daddy gets home so they can kill the entire
family. You see, we were not interested in killing hamas operators, only
when they were in a military building or when they were engaged in military activity.
Said an intelligence officer told us that nine seventy two and local Call.
On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in their homes without hesitation as a
first option. It's much easier to bomb a family's home. The system is
built to look for them in these situations. The Lavender machine joins another AI
system that I've mentioned before, the Gospel. They call that one the Gospel,
about which information was revealed in previous investigation In November of last year,
as well as Israeli military's own publications. A fundamental difference between the two systems
between the Gospel and Lavender it is the definition of a target. Whereas the
Gospel marks buildings and structures that the enemy claims militants operate from, Lavender marks
people and puts them on a kill list. When it came to targeting alleged
junior militants, they're marked by Lavender. The army preferred to only use unguided
missiles commonly known as dumb bombs. They're not smart bombs, so it's like,
well, the smart bombs cost more money, so if these people are
junior, let's use a dumb bomb on them. But to make sure that
we get them, of course, the dumb bomb has to be bigger,
and they're going to drop it on the family when daddy's there, and or
any other building where this person typically goes. So it's going to have a
lot of innocent people killed. You don't want to waste expensive bombs on an
unimportant people, that says. Another source said they'd personally authorized the bombing of
hundreds of private homes of alleged junior operatives marked by Lavender. With many of
these attacks killing civilians and entire families as quote unquote collateral damage Theyn't you just
love the pentagon? The pentagram. In the past, the military did not
authorize any collateral damage during assassinations of low ranking militants and the event that the
target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigadier. A
brigade commander of the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than one
hundred civilization one hundred civilization's death one hundred civilians and the assassination of a single
commander. Just remember, you know we had you know, they took out
the entire Iranian embassy or a large part of it, killed eight other people
besides these two generals because they were doing it. So I mean they were
I guess kind of sparing in that they must have used a very smart bomb
to take out those generals when they attacked Syria and an Iranian embassy in Syria.
So in this article we're not going to go into any more detail with
it. They do go into a lot of detail, but just to give
you a scope, they lay it out before they go into it, and
here's their outline. It's got six different parts, they said. First,
if you want to see this, so you can find it at nine seven
to two mag dot Com. First we explained the Lavender machine itself, which
marked tens of thousands of Palestinians using AI. Second, we reveal the Where's
Daddy system which tracked these targets and signaled to the Army when they had entered
their family's home. Third, we describe how dumb bombs were chosen to strike
these homes. Fourth, we explain how the Army loosened the permitted number of
civilians who could be killed during the bombing of a target. Fifth, we
note how automated software inaccurately calculated the amount of non combatants in each household,
and sixth we show how, on several occasions when a home was struck,
usually at night, the individual target was sometimes not inside at all, military
officers did not verify the information in real time. Like I said, I'm
not going to go into all the details, but at the very beginning,
when it says generating targets, one person who spoke to them said, once
you go automatic target generation goes crazy. Intelligence sources told nine to seven to
a local call that during Israel's previous wars, since this was an especially brutal
way to kill someone, often killing an entire family alongside the target, such
human targets were marked very carefully, and only senior military commanders were bombed in
their homes to maintain the principle of proportionality under international law. See that's the
big problem with Israel's conduct in Gaza as well. I think most people were
sympathetic to you know them, coming after military figures after October the seventh,
even though it looked like there was some something fishy, looked like they had
stood down. Nevertheless, even if that was the case, just like with
the Japanese, even if FDR stood down and allowed his own people to be
killed, the Japanese still did the killing, and they still needed to be
confronted and attacked on that. However, this whole idea of proportionality, which
is about as close as we can come now having some kind of an ethical
calculation, because we're not going to talk about the Christian principles of a justified
war. We're just going to talk about keeping it proportional. And then if
you can claim or if he can say that the other side escalated, something
you can do, but at the at that point, there wasn't anybody fighting
back. And this has gone on for months, so there's nothing about this
guy's operation that is proportional. And then when you look at the ethical principles
of trying to limit the war, that is clearly not on the table either.
They're not trying to end this and they're certainly not trying to minimize civilian
casualties. But let's move on to some other tech here, because as we
look at these autonomous killer robots or drones or drone swarms or even AI targeting,
as we look at that, there's been a lot of talk now about
how we all need to have our own personal robot. I think the company
that I was showing the other day, I think it was was a Figure
Travis, do you remember if it was Figured? I think that was the
name of the company that was a robot that had kind of a It sounded
like a California dude. Yeah, sure, yeah, man, I can
do that. Yeah, what would you like to have me do? Very
dexterous you know, it could handle very fragile things. I could sort out
moving plates and you know they give them things you know, give me something
that is edible, you know, and it would move things around and put
all the things that need to go on the dishwasher over there in that tray
and stuff like that. And it was being it was a fusion between this
robotics company and chat GPT. Well, everybody's trying to get in on now.
Evidently Apple, after they had said for years they were going to do
an electric car, they scraped that not too long ago. Now they say,
well, now we're going to do a robot. That's our next big
thing. They don't have intellectual firepower to pull off the next big thing.
Tim Cook is a bean counter, always has been. He's got no more
ability to get these kinds of big projects done than did Scully, the guy
from Pepsi that drove jobs out in the first place. And so I don't
think they're going to be able to pull this off. But everybody is talking
about that, and of course the people most concerning, the people at Figure,
are talking about that. They want everybody to have a minder robot,
just like they want everybody to have a smartphone. A smartphone was going to
be their surveillance tool. It's going to be essential for them to really get
their geospatial intelligence thing going, and they mocked to everybody. We're talking yesterday
about Ed Snowden because RFK Junior said, well, I'll pardon Ed Snowden.
Well. Part of the documents that came out, at least in Germany,
not in the United States. One of the documents that came out was about
Apple. Nobody wanted to put that out in the US because they want Apple's
advertising money, just like they're not going to criticize the Pfizer. And it
wasn't really necessarily that Apple had had cooperated with them. I certainly would believe
that they would with Tim Cook, and there's evidence that they got into the
PRISM program based on the documents that we got out of Snowden. They joined
the PRISM program. Microsoft was the first one to join, but they didn't
join until twenty twelve after Steve Jobs was out and no longer CEO, and
so you know Tim Cook will work with them. But prior to that,
they had mocked how they used the smartphones as big brother. They said,
who weld have thoughteen eighty four and they show the Apple nineteen eighty four commercial
that this would be big brother, and they show Steve Jobs holding up the
iPhone and that the zombies would line up to buy it. They want to
do the same thing with the robots. They want big brother to follow you
around, even more so than your pocket device, because it's going to be
needed to keep you in line in many different ways, I think. And
so they're pushing a lot of different companies are pushing into personal robotics. Apple
is there as well. He's had a field with potential to become one of
the company's big next big things, said an analyst at Bloomberg. And this
is again everybody's looking in a way to jump in on this. Amazon is
looking at it, Apple is looking at it. Pull up the picture,
Travis. The article is Apple exploring mobile robot that follows users around their home.
They decided that they would take that. They decided they would take the
goofy approach. Let's make it not look threatening, because we can make it
look really goofy. So I've got like a square monitor there and they've drawn
two circles as eyes, and then the bottom of it is that's Amazon's astro
robot. But you know, Apple will probably do the same thing because as
people are questioning it, they are saying, well, I don't know.
I mean, this thing doesn't look like it's got the capability of moving the
head around to make it look like it is more responsive. This will be
your goofy snitch approach. A mobile robot to follow you around your home.
Engineers and Apple have been exploring a mobile robot they can follow people around their
home, and they said they've also developed an advanced tabletop home device that uses
robotics to move a display. And so this is just a display that's on
the Amazon bot, but they would have a display that moves around like you
would move ahead. But a lot of people said, well, you look
at the picture of that thing, looks like it's kind of top heavy.
I don't know if that's going to work or not, but it's looking like,
you know, there's already a tier that has developed, Amazon and Apple
doing kind of goofy consumer grade stuff, whereas figure is looking very intimidating,
even to the extent that Apple has apparently wanted to create robots that can handle
chores like cleaning dishes in a sink. But the person who was talking about
this, but this is likely to be decades away due to extraordinarily difficult engineering
challenges. We just saw a figure doing that as a demo. Apple's home
robot could compete with Amazon's astro that we just showed you there. But for
now, these are just moonshot eye and I think, just like the moonshot,
it isn't going to happen. That's let you mean by the moonshot thing
total fiction. I can't the number of times that I heard big popular Christians
like al Mohler say this vaccine you need to take it. It's like the
moonshot we need. And it's like, yeah, it is like the moonshot
in ways that he's too naive to understand. Amazon cuts hundreds of jobs in
the cloud computing in it, but don't worry because they've now had to hire
thousands a thousand workers to support their flagging AI push. You know, they
wanted to have these touchless grocery stores that they were setting up different places.
They called it that just walk out self checkout stuff. The problem is that's
not working too well, and so they're hiring a thousand people to watch and
to kind of check the work of this automated checkout thing and to make sure
that people aren't shoplifting that they're being charged properly or whatever. Not necessarily that
they are trying to steal this stuff. It's just that it doesn't do its
job appropriately. But here's the interesting thing. All one thousand people are from
India because they can watch this stuff online in India where they don't have to
pay them as much. So they're firing Americans while they're hiring Indians and replacing
people with artificial intelligence. That's where this stuff goes. Hiring more than a
thousand people in India to scan the camera feeds to ensure that the checkout tallies
are accurate. Installing and maintaining all the necessary equipment is also proving to be
too expensive and it makes the system unprofitable. So they're pulling back from that.
They're looking to do something else, and we're going to do something else.
When we come back, we're going to take a look at a quick
update on some pandemic panic that is still rolling around. If you like the
Eagles on the cars and Huey Lewis in the news, they's say the Hot
You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio, download our app or listen

the comment from Jason Barker Knights of the Storm and the Foxhole Report, he
says, if you want a small device that follows you around the house,
does chores have kids? That's great, of course this current generation would say,
but I don't understand how to interface properly to make that happen. We're
just so isolated. And Michelle Obaman, thank you for the tip, says
Jason's got some good jokes. Yeah, he does. This should be a
joke. Unfortunately, a joke is on many people. As I point out
last week, one woman still wearing a mask after four years, afraid to
even come around her grandkids, you know who could follow her around the house
and do chores, But they're little germ factories. She said. This is
a post by a person who is a medical profession So I feel so defeated.
Patients still coming in wanting to quote stay up to date on the COVID
shots despite their injuries. The court appeal was dismissed despite all the evidence.
Friends are sick and dying. My own sister admitted today with a second pulmonary
embolism, and she's in the medical field A lot of people in the medical
field buy into this stuff of course as well. She said, how do
we get through to these people? How do we stop this? This is
the way I felt from the very beginning. From the very beginning, we
knew where it was headed. And then immediately in January, people are dropping
dead and getting injured right away. I mean, we'd never seen that.
That's always in the past. That was always the issue affairs, the fact
that it would be a slow poisoning. It take a while for the stuff
to develop. Probably the best example we'd had this kind of stuff was after
a year, kids showing up with injury in Scandinavian country with narcolepsy, and
it's completely destroyed their lives. You know, here we are a decade or
so later, they're in the mid to late twenties, many of them committing
suicide because anarcolepsy is so bad. The fall asleep, they can't drive a
car, they can't do anything. But how do we get through to people?
How do we stop it? Honestly, I don't know. I mean
we say it over and over again, she said, constant fear porn is
making people crazy. Literally, I'm at a loss this evening, Yeah,
absolutely, and then some people replied to it. One person, a doctor
Chancey, said, tell them it's a DoD shot still not approved via traditional
means. Tell them contamination and adulteration of the shots, along with no CGNP
is allowed. That death is a potential consequence, that each shot increased is
their risk of contracting COVID as well as a myriad of other diseases as their
immune system is compromised. She said, oh, I have, I've tried
everything, especially with family. They won't hear it. Person responded to that,
said, family, you say, I pray for you. As for
your office, change the policy. The shots need to be provided by your
pharmacy. We cannot guarantee the shots safety. Please do your own due diligence
before you take any shots. She says. We have never given any shots
at our office. We tell people they're not available and we're highly discouraging.
But you want to see the fear porn that is still out there. I
saw this on a conservative news aggregation site. All right, this is from
natural News Mike Adams. Mike Adams is still pushing this stuff. What His
article from Natural News says staff at taxpayer funded virus lab bitten by COVID infected
bats and hamsters, and they refuse to alert the public. Well, maybe
they know something that you also know, Mike Atoms, which is that this
is not a dangerous virus. You've been lying to people now for four years
and you're still doing it. It's absolutely inexcusable. You've gotten so rich off
of this, and that wealth is going to eat you away. Just amazing,
just amazing to see what Mike Adams and these other people like Alex Jones
will do for money and for influence and for audience, and they're a big
source of this fear porn. Still are pushing this. Oh look we got
these labs and they're experimenting on bats, ex very many on bets and it
got out and then tell anybody. Maybe they know that it's not anything that
you really have to worry about. I think they ought to shut these things
down. And it is his thing here. They do talk about how much
money is going to go to expand this lab in Colorado, Fort Collins.
It's associated with the university there. They all are got more than two hundred
of these things. I've been talking about, these these dangerous biosafety level three
and four labs. Biosafety level three is still a lot of supposedly precautions that
are there. Biosafety level four is the highest. China only had one biosafety
level four lab and that was in Wuhan. But I said, you know,
we need to shut these things. Are two hundred of them, and
they're always playing with very dangerous diseases. But not the COVID BAT stuff.
Come on, CEE Issues reportedly planning to construct another BAT lab later this year
using six point seven million dollars in taxpayer funding. Public reporting of lab accidents
should be standard practice, not an issue that is up for debate. We
should be talking about shutting these things down. They were supposed to have been
shut down in twenty fourteen after the sloppy stuff was exposed by Alison Young at
USA Today, and Congress acted on it, and even the Obama administration shut
it down. You know who opened it back up, the Trump administration in
twenty seventeen. But even after they shut it down in twenty fourteen, you
had Francis Collins and Fauci continue it. They continued it at the University of
North Carolina and Chapel Hill. They continued it in China It's one of the
reasons why it was in China was because they said, well, okay,
if Congress has told us that we got to stop this, let's go do
it in a foreign country. But they still continue to do it at North
Carolina. And when they released the information, you had people who were in
the scientific community said, what in the world are you doing with that?
You were told you've got to stop. There's absolutely no reason to do this.
Nothing good can come out of it. So why are we spending millions
and millions of dollars on these things and building them and expanding them. Because
in twenty fourteen there were two hundred of these labs, pretty much all of
them associated with a university somewhere. Why can't we ever stop any program ever?
Well, the Conservative's not even talking about doing that. We just need
to have accurate reporting of what they're doing, right, if you got an
accent, we need to know it. Well, this whole thing is an
accident waiting to happen. But to say, oh, yeah, we got
COVID bad experiments still going on, Come on, come on. So you
got Matt Hancock, you know, this guy who was nothing but a politician.
He didn't even pretend to have any medical background. Somebody liked Ted DROs
at the World Health Organization and he was their lockdown master. And I've read
to you many of the things that he's laughing about. What he was doing,
laughing about, Oh yeah, people coming in. I'd like to see
those places where they're going to stick them when they got a quarantine. All
the rest of this stuff had these very strict quarantine rules. And then of
course he got caught having a late night affair with a married woman, and
then that hypocrisy. Not so much that nobody cares in society anymore about adultery,
but you know that his hypocrisy on the lockdown rules got him kicked out.
Well, there was a back and forth between Matt Hancock, the quintessential
political liar, and Andrew Bridgen, who is shining like a light in a
dark space, one of the few, if not only, members of Parliament
coming out and talking about this stuff and not caring about the consequences. And
of course the consequences were that he was kicked out of the political party.
The consequences were that that same Matt Hancock called him anti Semitic because he talked
about people being killed with a vaccine to give an excuse to the Conservative Party
to kick him out, and so Andrew Bridgen has sued Matt Hancock for libel.
In January twenty twenty three, former Health Secure Secretary Matt Hancock, who
had been kicked out because he was a man of no integrity or intelligence or
medical experience, posted a tweet on x saying quote disgusting and dangerous anti Semitic,
anti vax, anti scientific conspiracy theories that not only suggested that he had
lost it, but also that fellow MP Andrew Bridgen was anti Semitic. The
defamatory illegal smear was used as a political tool to silence views concerning the adverse
event of the covid JAB. Yeah, if you're against the covid JAB,
you're anti Semitic. Again. It must be uh, you must be a
white supremacist or something. And it was to prompt Andrew Bridgen to issue libel
proceedings against Hancock in order to clear his name. Yeah, cynical dictator without
any medical knowledge, experience, or personal integrity. So Andrew Bridgin had a
link to a zero Hedge article and a screenshot with a comment. As one
consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the
Holocaust. Oh, if you mentioned the Holocaust, I guess if you mentioned
the Holocaust and you're not Jewish, or you mentioned the Holocaust and say and
compare anything to the Holocaust, well that's anti semitic. He said nothing that
was anti semitic in that, And so immediately Matt Hancock comes back and excuses
him of being anti Semitic, anti science, anti vaccine, on and on
and on, and yet it is Matt Hancock who is anti vaccine, anti
science, and a race baiter. And so what he said was, well,
I didn't mention Andrew Bridgin by name, but he replied to that immediately,
and that was his characterization. That's his excuse, because Matt Hancock is
a liar without any integrity. The graphs which Bridgin had highlighted, just one
of which showed that major cardiovascular events report of vers had exceeded seventy thousand up
to that point, including nearly four thousand cases of aphib and two thousand cases
each of myocarditis and cardiac failure. And so as a result of being called
antisemitic by this lying adulter, Matt Hancock, they expelled Andrew Bridgen from the
Tory Party. That was the excuse they had, but the reality is that
they were just looking for an excuse to kick him out because he had offended
their masters, the pharmaceutical companies. It's not the first time that Hancock and
other Members of Parliament have used weaponized smears against another MP an attempt to vilify
and discredit them and their political views. The groundless smear is also used when
all else fails in an MP's battle against an opposition. As a London Economic
said, Matt Hancock appears at the best of times to be an empty bag
of sound bites, and when those sound bites unravel, he appears unable to
back them up with anything more cogent than to simply repeat Boris Johnson. This
happened back in September twenty nineteen, the height of Jeremy Corbyn's popularity. Hancock
is the Tory Parliamentary parliamentary candidate, attended a general election Hustings and was laughed
at repeating the Toy's half baked manifesto pledge. According to London Economic, he
loses it and designed to attack Jeremy Corban by saying there's one thing I am
more passionate about ridding from our politics than anything else, and that is the
anti semitic. There it is again the anti semitic, outrageous racist attitude of
Jeremy Corbyn. You see, Conservatives are just as capable of playing a vile
race card without any substance to it as a left is. They really aren't
any different. They just wear a different colored jersey, right, But they're
in the same game. They're playing the same game, both sides of this
stuff. His remarks prompted members of the public to heckel boo jeer and to
stand up and opposition a chance of shame on you and liar when he accuse
the Labor Party of being racist. During the uproar, mister Hancock said,
anybody who would support a racist party shouldn't be standing for parliament. But yeah,
he is simply an empty bag of sound bites. We're going to take
a quick break and we'll be right back. Elvis the Beetle and the Sweet

Using free speech to free minds, It's the David Knight Show. Right take
off those masks and take off the fear, go it away. But of
course it's all about tracking and controlling us, isn't it. And the next
thing that they're working on right now, of course they're trying to consolidate these
things and move them up to a higher level, is the global level with
the Pandemic Treaty that I talked about extensively yesterday. But Australia has now approved
digital ID and as Alex Newman says at Liberty Sentinel, he said to America
is next digital ideas were approved in the Australian Senate would be coming soon to
the US as part of the World Economic Forms backed Global technocratic goolog complete with
central bank digital currencies and social credit scores, warned Alex Newman. And he
said, this bill in Australia, passed through the Australian Senate March twenty seventh,
is putting in place the legislative framework for the phased and expansion of the
Australian governments digital ID system to include state and territory government services and the private
sector. So the Australian Minister for Finance and what they did with this and
their examples, you know, they didn't. They didn't create a video like
they did in Ukraine. I've played several times where I don't have it here
today in the in the deck, but I've played several times Ukraine twenty thirty,
and they talk about how well, now that the war has ended and
we won, we get off to a bad start there. But that's their
fantasy anyway. Now the war has ended and we won, and somehow we
didn't blow up the entire world in a nuclear conflict. Now look at how
wonderful Ukraine is in twenty thirty. Everybody's got their little digital IDs and they've
got their smartphone pass and they can do this. You know, they can
interact with a Department of Motor Vehicles and with the tax collectors and all these
other predators from the government that should not exist. They can interact with all
these different things. And it's so simple, because we've made interaction with the
government so simple. You just have your digital ID and your big brother phone.
And so they did a similar thing in Australia. They put out a
flyer with a hypothetical example of what life would be like with somebody with and
without a digital ID. So here is the example they have an Australian guy
by the name of a Meir must be a squatter coming from the Middle East
or something. I think. So a Meir and his family lost their house
during a recent flood and he needs to prove who he is in order to
access government support. Now they have two scenarios there, with a digital ID
and without a digital ID. So what happens if Amir and his family who
we don't know who this guy is? Where do you come from? I
mean, this is probably they're trying to elvis to the the newcomers, you
know, the squatters. You know. Let's get them their digital ID first,
and all the conservatives will be yes, yes, by all means give
them a number, let's set up that system, and then I'll be next.
Anyway, so a Meir without a digital ID will find it more difficult
to prove his identity given his ID documents were lost in the flood. But
with a digital ID. Amir had already set up a digital ID before he
lost his ID documents in the flood with his mobile and internet connection. Wait
a minute, those didn't go away in the flood. He didn't lose internet,
he didn't lose his router. He didn't lose his mobile phone. But
with mobile and internet connection, he can log on online and verify his ID
within five minutes. It takes that long must be a slow connection because of
the flood or something, I don't know, in order to access the cash
claim. That is, until they found out that he opposed the shot and
that they have made him an outlaw. He's outside of the law. I
mean, we're just talking about that the other day. Travis say, what's
the difference with an outlaw and a criminal thing? It sounds cooler to be
an outlaw. I said, well, you know, the thing is when
you look at the purpose of the law, and you look at the purpose
of the sheriff initially, and peace officers and things like that, it was
people coming together for their mutual defense. That was the theory behind it.
Turned into something else, didn't it. But the theory behind it was that
you have this community that's there to defend people, and if you're going to
break the conventions of that community, then the worst thing they could do to
you in those days was to declare you to be outside of the protection of
the law. I don't know the law is there to protect us anymore,
you know, it's another think that's there again. You got that digital ID.
It's surprising to me that they don't take this over to some kind of
a biometric idea in their example here right, So you know, he just
shows his face and it knows who he is, but it also knows all
the things that it doesn't like about him, and it will make a determination
as to whether or not it will give him any assistance or maybe put him
in jail, or maybe, you know, maybe theyre the ones who blew
his house up in the first place. Well, when we're looking at financial
stuff, we've got gold hitting another new record high, which is kind of
interesting because bonds and stocks and bitcoin are all going down on supposedly good economic
news. That's why I say, you can't really when you look at things
going up and down, it's all relative, it's all cooked and all the
rest of the stuff. You just need to look at what I think is
going to keep you private and what is going to hold its value. And
so as things are fluctuating back and forth, it's not that gold is going
up by record amounts, it's that everything else is losing its value by record
amounts. Tony is not going to be with us today. He's traveling,
but I'll just mention that Tony has set up Davidnight dot gold to take you
to Wisewolf Gold. And it's not just gold, but it's also silver that
is doing well. They said for a change, silver outperformed gold. This
was yesterday and with spot prices surging up to twenty six dollars for the first
time since May of twenty twenty three. So I don't know what it is
at the moment, but everybody's been talking about silver being way undervalued, and
so gold is outperforming everything else, and silver is but that's not necessarily to
say that's going to continue. But we do have a very long track record
on gold that goes back for centuries, and we know that the Fiat currency
is the worst thing that you can have your money into. So the argument
back and forth as well in the future, is bitcoin going to be the
new gold. I prefer to be outside of the digital net, because I
think it is a net. I think it is a web. It is
a net, and I don't want anything that's been created by these weaving spiders
who created this stuff. How are they going to use it? I want
to have something I'm increasingly old school with this stuff. So again if you
go to David Knight Die Gold, that'll take you to Tony Ardban's Wise Wolf
Gold, and Tony is busy working today securing stuff for people, and he
is he can do a great job of locking the price in for you.
And that's the key thing is he points out, is making sure that you've
got inventory and being having access to this. As the demand is really starting
to go up, it's going to become increasingly difficult. That's why he's established
these relationships. Why he's got a couple of different places while he's in Texas
as well as his shop up in Branson because of that, and so he
can lock it in and you can also and you can get small, large
transactions of gold or silver. He can also help you set up an IRA
and he has a buyer's club that can help you get quantity pricing on gold
and silvery. Calls it wolf Pack and you can do that setting that up
on a monthly basis on a lot of different levels. And so take a
look you can get there from David Night Gold. Lets him know that you
came through me. Black gold or oil also went up to eighty five dollars
per barrel on West Texas Intermediate cruit, the highest has been since October of
twenty twenty three. Interesting that Biden has depleted our strategic petroleum reserve for political
purposes. Now a couple of times he failed to fill it up when the
price dipped, and now they just said, well, we're not going to
fill it up. I'm wondering if he's going to completely drain it out to
try to get a temporary sugar high on gasoline prices before the election. He's
done that in the past as well, so he may further deplete the strategic
petroleum reserve. No other present has ever done that, not even Obama.
So zero EDG. I like this. We loved the smell of stagflation in
the morning, and gold is rising along with FED policy errors and the FED
risk of inflation. But it is not going to be stagflation like we had
in the seventies. I think Jerald Slinty was right when he said it's going
to be dragflation. I think we're going to see not just a stagnant economy,
but a declining economy along with inflation. And has been saying this for
over six or seven years. By the way, you can also subscribe to
Gerald's Trends Journal at Trendsjournal dot com. If you use the code night,

And so I'll just mention one more thing here that could save you some
money, perhaps if you haven't filed your income tax going back to twenty twenty.
I saw this, and I was kind of surprised that they do this.
They said, they've got the IRS figures that they've got a billion dollars
in tax refunds that remain unclaimed as of May seventeenth. However, if you
haven't filed to claim money that was withheld by your employer or whatever that was
excessive, they will just keep it if you file it after that date,
after May seventeenth, if you've got refunds due to you from twenty twenty eight,
they'll just keep it. They said, nearly a million Americans nine hundred
and forty thousand have unclaimed refunds from the twenty twenty tax here, worth an
estimated one billion dollars. So you can read that as the IRS just pushing
people to file a tax return. But if you've had money taken out with
W two's or ten ninety nine's or anything like that. You need to pay
attention to that because that deadline is approaching. And I didn't even know that
there was a deadline after which they'll just keep the money. It sounds like
something they would do. We'll be right back. Elvis the Beetle and the
Sweet Sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at apsradio dot com.
You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well, I saw this from
Gretchen Whitmer. She was on CNN and she had the CNN person was pressuring
her on when unborn become people, and I thought it was kind of interesting
because it very closely paralleled what we have seen in terms of the questions what
is a woman? Well that I can't say what a woman is. I
can't say what a baby is. I'm not a doctor. I can't tell
you what a woman is. I'm not a doctor. I can't tell you
what a baby is. So on Tuesday, CNN is the source, Gretchen
Whitmer was there. She respinded a question on if she considers frozen embryos to
be people by stating that it doesn't matter what her view is. She said,
what matters is what the parents and their doctor agree is whatever is right
for them, how they define it. So a woman is how you define
it. That's your truth. And it's whatever you know, this postmodernism,
this post objectivism, it's whatever you say a woman is. Somebody says that
they're a woman, who am I to question them? I am not a
doctor, and that's what she says. I'm not a doctor, and I'm
not in anyone's individual situation. Well, there isn't an objective reality. And
the CNN host Caitlyn Collins pushed back and said, well, you just mentioned
the concerns about what happened in Alabama with the Supreme Court there and with the
IVF ruling, and really what that could mean for other reproductive rights on that
ruling in Alabama, you have not said whether or not you agree that frozen
embryos are considered people. So what is your position on that? She said,
who cares what my position is, Caitlin. What matters is what parents
and their doctors agree on whatever is right for them. Not only we moved
beyond situational ethics to situational reality. Everybody's got their truth. There is no
absolute truth, and that is their absolute truth. They've got one truth that
there is no absolute truth. So she said, that's the only one whose
opinions should matter. The opinion of a judge matter, not a politician,
not a governor from a different state. That's what the fundamental question is here.
Are we going to empower Americans to make their own health care decisions?
Yes? Are we? Kritchen, you the worst of all these lockdown tyrants,
the first ones to lock us down, the first ones to say we
don't get to make any choices about our own healthcare, and then they fall
back into well, my body, my choice when it comes to killing babies.
So is she going to have more lockdowns masks jabs. Oh, you
better believe she will, because none of these people believe that you should define
what your own healthcare is, and they don't believe that anybody should be able
to objectively say the two plus two equals four. You've actually got the abortion
The chief one of the chief abortionists, the planned parenthead Bill Gates actually literally
pushing out, we don't want right answers, and we don't want you to
show your work, you know, with math attacking math, which is where
Warwell knew it was going to go. And so, as I mentioned,
you know, we have this one candidate who is a radical progressive leftist,
but she is also pro life, part of a group in DC that,
based on tips, they got the bodies of a lot of aborted babies that
were going to be put through an incinerator. And they got those bodies and
they took pictures of them and they published them and they're trying to put them
in jail for a long time. She decided though that she would run for
Congress. And if you're running for Congress, you can show pictures of aborted
babies all ripped to pieces, as stomach turning and as nauseating as that is.
She can do that and they can't censor her. And that's why she's
running for Congress. And so this is from This is from Trevor Polo.
He was interviewed on life site News Jonathan Van Marin and Trevor Polo as a
strategist for a pro life group in Michigan were Gretchen Whitmer rules the Ice Queen
to discuss the results of a new report from them on the effectiveness of what
they call abortion victim photography. That's what we're talking about. The lady who's
running for Congress showing the pictures of aborted babies. They call that victim photography.
Very gruesome, very bloody, horrific to look at. And we need
to confront the truth even when it's awful, don't we. We're going to
run from that, I type. People get really strong feelings when you show
them pictures of ripped up babies. As I said before, you know Matt
Drudge, you know, when I met him, I thanked him for showing
the pictures of baby Samuel who his mother was having an operation and in utero
operation of this baby. They found out the baby had spina bifida. They
could do some corrective surgery that they thought would have more of an effect if
they did it before the baby was born. And as a surgeon is doing
the surgery, the baby reaches up through the hole they cut and the mother
and the little tiny hen grabs the pinky. You've all seen that picture,
I think, and Matt Drudge showed that on Fox News and they fired him,
and so I said, thank you for doing that. They really made
a difference. I know somebody who whose baby was in that same position and
had been diagnosed as having spina bifida and was able to get that surgery because
that went viral and he to make that go viral and they kicked him off
of Fox. But he said, oh that, He said, no,
I just did that because I when I get out of my contract with Fox.
He knew that Fox is going to fire him. And this is not
this is not a gruesome picture really. I mean, you know, there
was blood there because the mother had been cut open, but this is a
picture of a living baby and all of its humanity and it's fully formed,
tiny hands grabbing that pinky, and it was a beautiful picture of life,
baby Samuel. But that was bad enough for Fox News that they would fire
him and get him out of his contract for putting up something like that.
Isn't that amazing? So you can imagine how people react to victim photography where
they have ripped these babies apart and then they reconstruct them on the table.
Do we get both arms out, both legs out, that type of thing.
It's sick, it's disgusting, and it's happening. It's real, you
know, just like there's a reality as to what a woman is and there's
a reality as to when life begins, and there is a reality to this
murder that is happening here, and we need to get back to reality to
stop it. Yes, it is disgusting and it needs to be stopped for
that very reason. So anyway, what they did was this pro life Protect
Life Michigan did report and they wanted to see how that, whether or not
showing victim photography would change people's minds. And so they said, they said
this out to twelve hundred adults and they ask questions about their views on abortion
while depicting various images. One group would answer questions while looking at an image
of an abortion victim, but the other group would answer the same questions while
looking at a generic pro life message. So let's let's give people a pro
life message. Let's show the beauty of children, the wonder of childhood.
You know, we got the kid running through the field or something I guess,
I don't know. Or then you would show them the anti murder images.
Okay, here's here's the murder, here's the murder victim, and with
all the blood and everything else, what did they find? They found thirty
one percent of respondents harbored negative feelings towards pro lifers to begin with, Polo
said that serves as a baseline figure. No matter what pro lifers do,
roughly a third of the people will always oppose them and their message. That's
a given. But then the interesting results came when the victim imagery was used.
Negative feelings toward pro lifers actually increased from thirty one to forty percent.
It made people mad to see that, and they got mad at the pro
life people for showing that image. Isn't that interesting? How dare you show
that? To me? It's like, how dare you support that happening.
At the same time, however, negative feelings toward abortion also increased, of
course, and so he believes that's a positive sign of what he calls intellectual
distress. He said, you've got to put people in this intellectual distress.
You've got to make them uncomfortable to actually change their minds. They said,
you know what you're looking at here. You've got a hardcore group of people,
about a third of them, that are never going to change their mind
and you probably got a hardcore group of people, about a third of them
maybe that are going to support life. And what we're looking at is who's
going to change the hearts and minds of that mushy middle. The people who
are lukewarm about this stuff, and a lot of them would get upset you're
showing this to me, But then they would also get upset with the murder
as well. And so he said, when we're thinking about, Okay,
how can we be strategic with our time, our investment, our persuasion strategy,
we should be looking at what moves that middle. They're most moved by
victim imagery, and they're least likely to feel upset at pro lifers for using
it. However, one discouraging result of the survey showed that decreased support for
abortion did not translate to a concomitant level of increased support for abortion bans.
Isn't that amazing? So, yeah, you show these pictures of a murder
to these and they don't want to ban the murder. Oh yeah, I
don't like murder, but let's not ban it. I mean, that's what
they're saying, right, He says he's not surprised by this. He says
he notes how the persuadable mushy middle also doesn't consider abortion major issue to warrant
sudden changes to their political identity. That's an interesting way to put it.
Your political identity, right, people have a political identity. That's who I
am. I'm a Democrat, I'm a Republican, I'm a libertarian, I'm
a Green Party, I'm an independent, whatever. That's my political identity,
and that has become so important to Americans, has it. Well, that's
not something that was around at the beginning of this country. The founders hated
political parties for good reason. They were wise and they knew how political parties
would be used to control people, how they would be used to supplant people
when it comes to issues and policies like this. So these people care more
about their political identity and who they vote for. They got an attachment to
that avatar that represents their political identity. Yeah, they don't care about the
donkey and the elephant thing, but they do care about the Biden and the
Trump, don't They The people that are there a big part of their political
identity, and so they care about that more than they care about babies being
ripped apart. That disturbs them to see it, But their real loyalty is
to that political identity. That's what I say it is a religion, and
it is idolatry. He believes that the pro life movement needs to lead with
our victim, the unborn child more often. He says, the movement needs
to uncompromisingly defend the humanity of the unborn, even if it means losing some
conservative allies who are only opportunistically pro life, you know, like Trump and
most of these Republicans. You know, what do I have to do.
I'm gonna make everybody happy. You got to see, you're going to love
this compromise I've got. Yeah, I'm going to set it up so I'm
going to change the time period of which you can rip babies apart, and
you're going to love it. South Dakota Governor Christy Nome wrote a commentary that
got put on real clear wire. I guess she's still lobbying very hard to
become vice president. She even traveled, you know, to Iowa to get
on stage with Trump. People said, wow, I've never seen anybody lobby
so hard to become vice president. But she is a lukewarm opportunist. You
could see that when it came to the trainy athletics, right, guys,
And not just the fact that they're in the girls dressing room and the showers
and all the rest of the stuff, but the fact that they're going to
compete with them on sports, and so she was very much you know,
she stuck her finger, wet her finger and stuck it in the air and
see which way the wind is blowing. And the wind was blowing against that.
And so she joined in with the Republican Party and South Dakota and said,
yeah, we're going to stop that. We're going to ban that.
So they go ahead and they pass it and then they send it to her
to sign it, and she decided. In the meantime, she had been
contacted with the NCAA, and I guess she was starting to think about her
national political career outside of South Dakota, and she backed down because she is
a lukewarm opportunist on all of these issues. That's why she should be perfect
for Trump. Malleable, no principles in my state, she said, we
showed moms that we are here to help them. See, the government is
your savior. And now what it is is that Republicans want to apply welfare.
They're not going to do this with private individuals, not going to do
it with churches and things like that. No, the approach that Republicans want
to take now, this is I've said over and over again, the Republicans
have become the Democrats of my youth. The Democrats have become the Marxists of
my youth. Because now the Republicans are saying, no government will be there
to save you. We'll make sure that we've got the welfare and the incentives.
We're not going to go back to tell churches, hey, you know,
let's strengthen our ability to take care of the poor and the indigen or
whatever. That's not the main thrust of churches, but it is there.
It is there. You make your church all about social gospel and everything,
you're going to miss the real gospel. But but Jesus is pretty clear that
we look after the needs of other people. Oh yeah, go on your
way. I hope you're well fed. I you know, bless you may
you have lots to eat and clothes to wear. But I'm not going to
give you anything. Here's a religious track, but I'm not going to give
you anything. Okay. That's also that's also not a good idea. That
doesn't work, And that wasn't even what America was about when it began.
Alexis Tooegel was amazed that when Americans had a need, they would come together
and voluntarily create non governmental institutions. He say, it's very different than what
we see in socialist France and socialist France. Everybody sets back. There's a
problem. What's the government going to do about it? Now you've got conservatives
doing that as well. When I was a kid, that was just Democrats
who did it. But now conservatives are believers and big government, and government
needs to be there to solve all of our problems. And that's what Christynoma
is saying. In my state, we showed moms that we are here to
help them. Well, so maybe we can stop murder if we give people
more welfare incentives. Is that how it works? I don't know. I
don't think so, she said. The left says that pro life laws will
lead to higher maternal mortality, but maternal mortality actually dropped by sixty percent in
South Dakota in the first full year after the court's ruling. This should be
the headline out of this whole essay. That was the take home. You
know, the reality is is that abortion is not safe healthcare. That's why
that happened. Few abortions, few pregnant women are dying. We have to
expose. However, on the other hand, that every Democrat in the US
Senate voted to allow abortion at any time, for any reason, right up
until the moment of birth, and they demanded that you pay for it.
Well, that's right as well. We should expose that. But there is
something else going on. I liked this article from Life site News. This
is about a medical doctor, doctor George Delgado, who is also pro life,
and he says, we have a protocol that we can use to reverse
this abortion pill, and that has become the go to means of abortion for
many people after this Supreme Court decision and the actions in a lot of these
different states. As I call him a pioneer of life saving abortion pill reversal
protocol. He encouraged a pro life gathering to proclaim the truth about the sanctity
of human life, especially for women in crisis. He said, it's important
to speak the truth about life and about the abortion pill reversal in our respective
areas of influence, so that women can have a second chance at choice,
at choice, and think about that, you know, they make a choice
and say, well, I'm going to take the abortion pill and kill the
baby, and they think about it. I would rather it had not made
that choice. If they regret that, they would like to have another choice,
well, he gives them another choice up to a certain point. So,
and he's also a Christian. He's a chemical abortion consists of two drugs,
mefapristone if I'm pronouncing it, I just usually call it mephistopheles and miso
prostall. The Mephistopheles brocks blocks progesterone and the pregnant mother's system and starves the
unborn baby of nutrients. Then the miso prostall, taken a day or so
after the Mephistopheles, causes the woman to go into labor, and if the
chemical abortion is successful, she will deliver her deceased child. Isn't that nice?
And because they want to do this now by mail, you don't have
a physician looking to see if the baby is too far advanced to physically large,
because that's going to very based on person to person, So they're not
looking to that and they're not there to help you to deliver that dead Maybe,
oh, what could possibly be wrong with that? Right? You're going
to see a lot. This is not about women's health. It's about killing
people, and if they can get the mother, people like Bill Gates are
just fine with that. So it now accounts for well over half of all
US abortions. Proponents in the abortion industry, media and beyond work to quash
awareness and success of the APR protocol as it represents the antidote to chemical abortion
demonstrates the fact that many women regret the abortion choice after they've taken that pill.
If a woman is taking the first chemical abortion drug mephistopheles we'll call it,
and experiences regret. If she acts quickly enough, she may be able
to save her child through the abortion pill reversal. The progesterone protocol used in
the abortion pill reversal process has been routinely and safely used to combat miscarriages since
the nineteen fifties. So if you're going to block the mephistopheles, then this
protocol is just simple. It's like, well, let's put in more progesterone
and we'll get around that blockage. A twenty eighteen per reviewed study showed positive
results of APR, with sixty four to sixty eight percent of the pregnancy saved,
no increase in birth defects, and lower pre term delivery rate than the
general population. He said, those who are baptized, here's this Christian I
think he says, be a prophetic voice. He said, those of you
who are baptized have the mission to spread the Gospel. We're there to be
a prophetic voice, he said. Now, lot of times, you know,
I've talked about how words change. You know, if you look up
in a regular dictionary, you'll see prophetic. It is always about predicting the
future. Now one hundred percent about predicting the future. I've talked about hope
in the past. Hope at the time that it was used in some of
the early English translations, like the King James version that meant a confident expectation.
But now that English word has changed, even though the underlying Greek word
has not changed and the concept has not changed. We have changed the meaning
of English words over some of these translations, and so they continue though to
use these same words even though their English meaning has changed. And so the
same thing is really true prophetic voice. Right, if you go back and
look at the original use of that in some of these many places where it
use some many times it was used to predict the future. But we have
Ezekiel, for example, and the Valley of dry Bones. God says to
him, prophesie of these bones. He's not telling him to predict the future
for these bones. Even though this says, this whole passage is kind of
a symbolic prophecy of the future. But what he's saying is speak to these
bones. And actually, if you look at the original word there, what
it really means is a speech that kind of bubbles up, that kind of
pours forth with a lot of emotion. It's frequently used of people doing songs,
and so what he's talking about here is a very enthusiastic, emotional state
of mind speaking to them. And I think that's what this doctor means when
he says we need to be a prophetic voice. He says, I want
to educate you and make you enthusiastic profits about abortion pill reversal because too few
people know about it these days, few women who need it, too few
people who could influence them in their time of crisis. So he said,
I want you to know that using abortion pill reversal is safe, it is
effective. Women who are given that second chance in life are extremely grateful.
They have shared that gratitude, and they have been extremely grateful. Even the
times when we have been unsuccessful that's about a third of the time and the
baby has died anyway, they are still extremely grateful because they had a chance
to try to save their babies, and this has given them a redemptive effect,
he said. This is why prayers for these women are very important too.
He says they'll have a change of heart, that they will have a
change of heart, and that they will accept that grace and forgiveness from the
Lord. He told the pro life gathering that is estimated now in twenty twenty
four that at least sixty five percent of all abortions in the United States are
chemical abortion, way more than half. He had been told that as well.
The chemical abortion rate in Nebraska was seventy five percent of all abortions.
This is why they're moving to So that's why you know, if you know
about this and you know somebody who is pregnant considering an abortion, that's why
you need to be able to let them know. He says. It's also
a great opportunity because remember, anytime the devil pounces, God can always turn
that into good. So remember that's the prophetic message, is that this bad
news is an opportunity. It's an opportunity to save more lives. It's an
opportunity to save the physical life of the preborn baby who's being threatened, who's
on now death row, and it's an opportunity to save the spiritual life of
that mother. So they have calculated that over five thousand documented births have taken
place of people who have already taken that abortion pill after they get of them,
the reversal protocol, babies who have been saved from mephistopheles. We have
helped women, and that's just their organization, Heartbeat International, saving five thousand
lives. We have helped women in all fifty states, in about seventy different
countries. We've helped a spawn regional networks in Australia, Russia, Switzerland,
and Canada. So this is truly an international project, one that is really
bearing fruit right now, no pun intended. I guess, he says.
Their problem, their big problem is listening to this the FDA. The FDA
has been dragging their feet blocking randomized control trial. I mean, wouldn't they
aren't they about choice? Aren't they about women's health. Well, of course
we know they're not. They are anti choice, they're anti health. They
are in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry and other mass murders, the abortion
industry as well. And so with all that, you know, I saw
this article on a Christian magazine World, and it struck me that the title
politics is not downstream from culture. Oh yes, it is. I beg
to differ. So I looked at this article and I thought, what is
the case this guy is trying to make. I have said many times in
the past that politics is downstream from culture. I truly believe that he says.
Well, a lot of people repeat these false ideas. Just saying it
doesn't make it untrue, but he doesn't give any example to refute it.
And not only that, not only is politics downstream from culture, but culture
is downstream from religion. And you'll understand why this guy says it when I
tell you at the end of all this, who he is and who he
works for. But this is what he says. On the list of things
that people say that just aren't so, the phrase politics is downstream from culture
deserves at the top of that list. Whatever nuggative truth it may hold it
is a hackneyed saying that does real harm. By minimizing the role that politics
and policy play in society, you might start to get the idea of where
this guy hangs out, how he makes his money. At this point,
right, he's in the politics and policy. Business. Politics and the policy
that results from it are the headwaters of the various streams that collectively become our
culture. Politics and policy shape our culture at its most basic level. Okay,
pal, tell us how you know that? Well, he says,
I recently learned that in Canada, a law popularly known as can Con requires
that a specific percentage of radio and TV broadcasts must be content that has written,
produced, or otherwise created by Canadians. As a result, there exists
a cultural world north of the border full of television stars and rock stars that
most Americans have never heard of. Okay, let's stop right there. So
these are people that they've heard of because the government has mandated that they get
a spot and people hear their stuff, and yet they don't survive in the
free market, in the bigger market. That's not to say that they aren't
better than when we look at the state of pop music. Just like the
state of the movies and all the rest of our culture. It is abysmal.
And these people probably are local folk musicians and stuff like that. They're
probably much better. I would probably like them much better than I would the
pop music that I don't listen to, because I do listen to folk music
and stuff. But they probably are superior. But it is not the choice
of the people. It's a government forcing a culture. Right. And so
when he says the government is the head stream, what he means by that
is the government is going to dictate to people what their culture is. That
government is setting the policy of what people can see and hear. So of
course it is going to be dominant in that cultural thing. Is that the
right way should we be going to that? So it is I used to
focus on politics as being the primary thing, the headstream, as this guy's
doing it, But that was twenty five thirty five years ago. I don't
believe that anymore. It is the product. It is the product of what
people think and believe, unless that is you live in a dictatorship and hear.
What he's saying is that they're going to dictate what people can here on
the radio and so, and he gives some examples of some of these things
that none of us would know, but he says similar the policies are once
featured as part of cultural production in the United States. So here's his US
example. In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Roosevelt administration
began working with studio executives in Hollywood. Roosevelt established the Office of War Information
to provide reliable information to the public about the war and to build domestic support
for the war. What we're talking about here is government propaganda. It doesn't
have to be a lie to be government propaganda. You know, we talk
about white propaganda and black propaganda. White propaganda would be we're going to tell
you the truth. We're not going to tell you all the truth. We're
only going to tell you nice, happy things about our country or our government,
or our culture or whatever. We're only going to tell you the good
stuff, the happy news. But that's propaganda if you don't tell all the
truth, right, the whole truth. They're telling the truth, but they're
not telling the whole truth. Now, black propaganda is when your enemy lies
to you. Okay, So the white propaganda is telling you the truth but
nothing negative. So they're not telling you the whole truth, so it's still
propaganda. The black propaganda is a lie, typically from your enemy. And
so what he's saying is is that we had culture from Roosevelt during wartime that
was based on giving people propaganda. He said. They promulgated a manual for
the motion picture industry on how to promote democratic principles. The Bureau also reviewed
and evaluated film scripts to determine whether they furthered the war effort. They did
that in World War One as well. Woodrow Wilson and the first early early
stages of the movie business. A guy who did a movie. His name
was Goldstein or Goldberg or something like that, but he had done costumes and
things like that war Birth of a Nation, which was about the Civil War
and about reconstruction. It was D. W. Griffith. But the important
thing about it was it was the first time somebody had done a long term
narrative movie with a story arc and all that other kind of stuff, and
it had meticulously recreated scenes from the Civil War, the signing of the Treaty
at Appomatics, the assassination of Lincoln, and other things like that. Well,
this guy had done those and he decided that he wanted to do another
historical effort, and so he did the Spirit of seventy six. So he
decided that he would do a movie about the Revolutionary War. But Roosevelt wanted
us to get involved in World War One on the side of the British,
and he didn't want the British portrayed as bad guys, and so he threatened
his office, his World War One equivalent of this office, told this guy,
you got to censor the scenes where the British are the bad guys out
of this. It's like, well, that's the whole movie, and that's
the whole point. And so he refused to do it, and he showed
it a couple of different places, showed in Chicago, showed la. They
arrested him. They gave him a ten yured jail sentence and a massive fine
that would be millions of dollars today, because this is before Woodrow Wilson got
involved in the creation of the Federal Reserve that destroyed nearly, you know,
nine nine percent of the purchasing value of money. So it was a massive
fine, a massive jail term. He appealed to the Supreme Court and the
Supreme Court said the First Amendment does not apply to movies. Wow, So
they reversed themselves by the nineteen fifties. But that was in place for about
thirty years, and that was all because of war propaganda. Now, is
the government the headwaters of culture or is it simply dictating things? He goes
on to say. By January nineteen forty two, just one month after Pearl
Harbor, Warner Brothers had purchased the film rights to a play called Everybody Comes
to ricks All Bugust, filming had wrapped on the story of a recalcitrant American
expat whose love for a woman ultimately leads him to embrace the virtues of duty
and self sacrifice. Later, they retitled it to Casablanca and rather than Humphrey
Bogart that originally considered Ronald Reagan for the role of white House. That's just
what that means. The initial release of the film was moved up to November
nineteen forty two to coincide with Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa,
because that's where it's set. So they're working hand in glove with that,
And they've been doing that kind of stuff ever since. This guy thinks
that this is essential. He thinks that this is real culture. He thinks
that when you got the military and the intelligence community doing predictive programming and manipulating
things, you know, I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the Civil War
movie is coming out right now, all that kind of stuff. Oh that's
a good thing, isn't it. He said, they're creating culture so to
coincide with the invasion of North Africa. It then went into national release in
January nineteen forty three, at the same time as the historic Casa Blanca conference.
This thus, a film that some critics consider the best of all time
in some ways, was downstream from politics. This is his example. He's
talking about government dictating things to people. That's not real culture, folks.
We don't want a wartime dictatorship. And that's what he's talking about here.
And then he brings us more into the contemporary time and he starts talking about
the Internet. He says Section two thirty allows certain Internet platforms such as Facebook
and x to operate without being subject to the same laws that govern publishers like
newspapers. The theory that they're just distributors of third party content the law also
protects these platforms from liability when they moderate certain content on their platform. We
call that censorship. He calls it content sensors call it content moderation. And
so the purpose of section two thirty is to protect these corporations from lawsuit when
they censor on behalf of the government. Just like they made this movie on
behalf of the government, they censor on behalf of the government. And in
a roundabout way, he's admitting this now, and he works for an organization
that has always been wrong about censorship, the biggest conservative think tank out there,
the Heritage Foundation. He is a vice president of government relations at the
Heritage Foundation. He is a worshiper a big government, a worshiper of government
propaganda, a worshiper of government censorship, and they always has been. When
we got purged, I was not surprised. I got to say, after
I read this thing to see where he was from. I didn't know where
he was from when I started reading this thing. I just thought, this
is absolutely wrong, and every aspect of this article is wrong. It's no
wonder that the conservative movement is so far off track because they follow the likes
of these people pushing government as the legitimate creator of culture and all the rest
of stuff. Look what he's talking about here with this section two thirty stuff.
He says, those who see that so much of our culture is going
awry should take seriously the role that law and policy play and shaping who we
are, what we think, and what we value. This kind of attitude
from conservatives is what created government schools and gave them the pre eminent position in
the first place. And then that was taken over, wasn't it. And
now they've become the tools of propaganda and Marxism because there were conservatives that thought,
you know, this is a great idea. We need to use propaganda
and doctrination, and we'll create an institution to do that. Then the lefties
come in and take care of it. You know, Brad Little during the
COVID lockdowns, the Republican governor of Idaho, and they had a Republican legislature.
But of course, you know, they picked a year to run this
thing when a lot of legislators legislatures were not meeting. You know, a
lot of conservative states, they don't meet every year, they meet every other
year. That was the case in Texas. Is a case in Idaho.
But they were going to pull together a special session, and the governor there,
Brad Little, said no, you're not, and he shut it down.
Then he came up with his own legislation. They were going to stop
these these lockdown things that he had been paid by Trump to put in place.
And then he came up with his own idea and called them back in
and said here, sign this, and they did. And in his legislation
he said was if your business tells people they got to wear a mask,
they got to stay six feet apart, and all the rest of the stuff.
This is early on before they had a shot. If they do all
this stuff, and if you make them do that to come into your business,
if you say you can't come in here unless you're wearing a mask.
If somebody gets COVID and they decide that they're going to sue you, we
will hold you harmless. But if you don't make them wear a mask,
I don't know, you know, they just might sue you out of business
if they get COVID and we won't raise a finger to help you. It's
that kind of coercion. That's what the government does with the Section two thirty
stuff. Well, we're going to give you liability protection if you censor the
people we tell you to censor, and if you don't do that, we're
going to throw you to the wolves of the lawsuits. That's exactly. And
of course there's other things that are going on behind the scenes, corruption and
crony capitalism with Facebook and all these social media companies looking for favors from the
government that they will get if they play ball with them. But it's also
that that lawsuit liability that's there, same thing was done by Brad Little,
and of course the Heritage Foundation supported that kind of censorship when Trump was present
and after Trump was present, and when we look at the fact that they
embraced these you know, the fact that conservatives embraced government school, and we're
going to run these values through government school. We're going to have kids standing
up and pledging allegiance and saying prayers at the beginning of school and all this
other kind of stuff that we like. And so we're going to support that
and guess what gets taken over. And that's a Marxist strategy. That is
something that came from the guy who founded and really established one of the great
Marxist leaders in terms of effectiveness, not in terms of I don't agree with
anything they did, but he was very successful Antonio Gramsey in Italy, and
he looked at what these other communist revolutionaries had done and how they'd use violence
and revolution to take over. He said, I've got a better way.
He said, we will conduct a war of position. That's what he called
it. Now he was there, you know, he was alive for about
forty years or whatever, from like eighteen ninety nineteen thirty something, and so
he came with the idea of war position, We're going to take over the
institutions. And then in nineteen sixty seven a guy named Rudy Deutsch called it
the long March through the institutions because he looked at both Gramsey and at Mao's
long march, and that's exactly what this is, a very long, persistent,
patient march to take over the institution. By the way, you know,
Booty Gay Pete Boutier, that's his dad always spent his life work o
name. His dad was an immigrant from Malta and a communist, and he
made it his life work to study and to elevate teachings of Antonio Gramsey.
The Italian Marxist. And then when it was time for Bootyguet Pete Boutiger to
go to to go to school, he sent him to Harvard to study under
a guy who had changed his name to Honor Socco and Venzetti. These were
Italian communist Italian Marxists. That there was a big wave of Italians who migrated
to the United States in the early twentieth century, and many of them came
in as Marxist revolutionaries. Socco and Venzetti were a couple who were caught in
a crime and executed. They became heroes to the left who said that they
were railroaded, that they really didn't do it, but there's ample evidence that
they did. But this book guy at Harvard who became the mentor for Pete
Booty Gay, I call him Booty Marks. I've called him Booty Marks in
the past as well. He changed his name to Honor Soako and Venzetti.
And his big villain in history, Berkovich's is and again it would be Pete
Booty Marks. The big villain for them were the Christians who founded this country,
the Pilgrims who founded this country. They have been apathetical to christ and
Christians in this country and in every revolution in every country, and so when
we look at what is happening, I was surprised to see a couple of
these articles actually put on the Drudge Report, because usually he doesn't put up
articles that are sympathetic to Christians. And actually these articles really were laying out
what the issue is. When I talked about the fact that Richard Dawkins said,
I'm a cultural Christian, he says, I don't believe any of this
stuff, and I'm glad to see the Christianity is disappearing. But he says,
I, you know, I kind of want the culture and I want
the good things. I want the you know, he doesn't call the blessings,
but he wants the blessings without God. As I said, just like
Ben Shapiro, he doesn't believe the Bible, he doesn't believe the miracles in
the Bible, but he wants that land that Moses said was given to him.
He does, but he calls Moses a liar. But anyway, the
Telegraph said Christianity's decline has unleashed terrible new gods. He said, not since
the Road to Damascus has there been a more notable spiritual about face than the
one made this week. With Richard Dawkins having spent a career breathing threats against
the Disciples of the Lord, a certain Richard Dawkins is struck in a moment
of realization, they say, before we start preparing the baptismal font. However,
it's worth noting that Dawkins says he remains happy that the UK is declining
Christian faith and that those beliefs are nonsense, but he also says that he
enjoys living in a Christian society. This betrays a certain level of cultural free
writing. The survival of a society's Christian undercurrent depends on others buying into the
quote unquote nonsense, even if he doesn't. Though Dawkins has spoken of his
cultural Christianity before, this feels like another staging post on a journey toward the
Good Professor finally admitting that the New Atheism of which he was such a shining
light was wrong in critical respects. Now, when they talk about the new
Atheism, what they're talking about is Richard Dawkins, who had his book The
God Delusion. You had Christopher Hitchens, now deceased, who wrote his book
about the same time saying God is great. You had Bill Maher who did
a movie called Religious making fun of Christians and so forth. That's what they're
talking about, the new atheism. First and it's almost touching naivete that a
post Christian world would give way to a values neutral space that would be rooted
in reason. If we just get these crazy Christians out of the way,
we can have a society that is like their technocracy, the scientists, and
all the rest of this stuff. Secondly, and it's semi adolescent diagnosis of
Christianity as a retardant upon culture and intellectual progress, so he says. Author
says, like all good conversions, there is an element of repentance, though
unlike Paul's, Dawkins hasn't had to go blind for three days. Well,
actually, Dawkins has been blind most of his life and blind to what really
matters in his own life. Really, you know, his lack of faith
doesn't affect me, doesn't harmy, doesn't make me angry. I feel sorry
for him, like a nice guy. As he says about Christians, they
seem to be decent people. Well, he seems to be a decent person.
Not a lot of hatred and invective that seems to be evident for people.
He does have it for God, and that's the issue for him.
One reason for Dawkins's change of heart might be a good old fashioned scientific observation.
New Atheism was mistaken in its diagnosis of what would follow religion's decline.
The rational world that we were promised has not materialized, and a nasty or
less reasonable one is supplanting what was there before. Nowhere is this more obvious
than in Scotland. Dechristianization has occurred there at a faster rate. Membership in
the National Church of Scotland has fallen by thirty five percent and ten years.
A Scottish friend recently explained to me that every place where he had come to
faith, where he was christened, where his father was buried, every one
of these places have been shut or sold. This is not only a national
tragedy, but a personal one for him. New atheism assumed that as people
abandoned Christianity, they would embrace a sort of enlightened secular position. The death
of Christian Scotland shows that this was wrong. Faith there has been replaced by
derangement and the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment, which rose out of Christian principles,
now worships intolerant new gods. And we're talking about the LGBT stuff.
And the guy who, interestingly enough, the Prime Minister of Scotland now is
a guy whose parents immigrate here from Pakistan. He was born in Scotland,
but his parents came from Pakistan, and he really hates Scotland. I talked
about this several years ago. He says, I'll go into these meetings and
I'll be the only person there who's not white. It's like, well,
why don't you go somewhere where you feel more at home then, Like,
if it matters so much to you the skin color of everybody else and you
feel like such an outcast, go somewhere where you fit in instead of trying
to destroy Scotland, which is what he has done. You know, when
they passed this new heinous law, which is really kind of the point of
why they're talking about this draconian hate crime legislation. When they passed that and
you had, uh, the woman who wrote Harry Potter, what's her name?
I forget to get it. She pushed against that and and and said
go ahead and arrest me, go ahead and arrest me, and they didn't,
and they gave they blinked because she's too high a profile figure. And
so she's done a great service. But the interesting thing is that there's been
more complaints about a hate crime and racism about filed in Scotland against this Prime
Minister who hates the fact that he's the only non white person around. There's
many more complaints about him racism then there has been and hatred about that.
Then there have been about the so called hatred of the author, who does
not actually have any hatred. She just hates the fact that they are giving
special rights to people who say they're women and they're not, and then not
giving any protection at all to women. She's a feminist. Not that things
are much better south of border, where we have de facto blasphemy laws into
which a teacher can be forced into hiding in south of Bordermania in England for
showing his class a cartoon of the prophet Muhammed. Certainly not the neutral,
secular space that we were promised when Christian society went away. I'm reminded of
Levin's epiphany at the end of Anna Karna. He was a dissatisfied religious skeptic,
plagued with doubt over the purpose of existence. Yet he finally comes to
a stark realization about the real roots of his belief and the limits of a
rational life. He had lived without being aware of it, on those spiritual
truths that he had sucked in with his mother's milk. That's the way it's
put in the book. Isn't that interesting? He had spiritual truths that he
had sucked in with his mother's milk, but he had thought, not merely
without recognition that these truths, but he ignored them. And this isn't that
interesting? Because you know, we talk about the fact it used to be
a popular saying, the hand that rock is the cradle rules the world,
and that really is true. That's why the government wants to give free health
care to the kids. Send the hand that rocks the cradle, the mother
to work away from the families, split the family up, get the kid
away from the mom, don't tell the parents what we're doing with the kids,
and raise them the way we want to do them. That's the way
every authoritarian society has always worked in the past. That's why our society is
changing so rapidly. Yes, that kind of culture and religion is being generated
and foisted by the government, and that's not the kind of society we want.
The conservatives, the political conservatives, may want that, and they do
want that, and that's why we've got to wake up to that. These
people are not our allies and friends. They are not We are not going
to break this unless we have the hand that rocks the cradle, the mother
that is there feeding these spiritual truths along with mother's milk. That is the
issue. That is how we fight this one on one at the local level,
at the family level, at the community level. That's how we fight
this stuff. And then finally there is this additional article. This is from
the Atlantic, the True cost of the Church going Bust, And they're what
they say is more Americans today have converted out of religion than have converted to
all forms of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam combined. No faith evangelism has
been as successful in this century as religious skepticism, because that's the evangelism that
is sold to kids from the earliest of time. Let's get them in daycare
centers, let's put them in schools, let's keep them longer. Let's make
sure they don't even advance the next grade unless we've got them there every day,
because psychological conditioning is what's really important. We've got these institutions primed to
do this, and they are very successful at it, and it is causing
the rapid disintegration of our society. We have government as messiah. Government is
God, and it's no wonder that when you put government in the place of
God, no wonder that people start looking at these political leaders like Trump and
others as messiah. That's why am I AGAs worshiping Trump, because they first
worship government. They think that all these things can be fixed by government,
and they're being sold that lie by these institutions like the Heritage Foundation. I
guess you know, when they look at Trump, he is the bodily expression
of an omnipotent godlike government, so of course they're going to worship him.
That's why I keep getting this question, well, who are you supporting for
president? Nobody? Nobody. I don't even support the office of president anymore,
not in its current form. Go back to the constitutional form of it.
Not in its current form. I don't support it. But you know
it used to be when I was going up, people ask you questions like,
you know, so are you a Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, something
like that. Now it's like you Republican, Democrat, Independent, what do
you so? You know, that's people's religion. That's what's really important about
it. It's their political identity. As we were saying before, that's what
That's how they envisioned themselves. That's how they valued themselves and how they value
other people as well. That's why this country is so easily controlled because it
is divided along these political lines. Heritage Foundation will tell you that politics is
above culture and all the rest and religion. But they're just being self serving
about this. They're just saying, now, this is the most important thing,
so send money to our political organization here, the Heritage Foundation. More
Americans today have converted out of this than and again it's all of these religions
combined. Seventy percent of Americans told Gallop that they belonged to a church in
nineteen thirty seven, and by the nineteen eighties it was still seventy percent.
But suddenly in the nineteen nineties the ranks of non believers started surging. In
twenty twenty one, membership and houses of worships fell below a majority for the
first time on record, less than fifty percent. Well, what happened the
year before? What we had our God liked Messiah, who was so Christian.
Donald Trump shut the churches down. And I blame the churches because people
looked at the church and said, well, obviously these people don't believe what
they're telling us if they would shut down anyway. Likely relates to changes in
both politics and family life, says this author. In the nineteen seventies and
the eighties, the religious right became a formidable fundraising machine for their Publican party.
This is where it became politicized right. And when you mix politics with
religion, what do you get politics? And that's when they changed the religion
of the right from religion to politics. As a GOP consolidated its advantage amongst
conservative Christians, religion seemed less appealing to liberal young people, especially if they
or their parents already had a tenuous relationship with the church. In the late
nineteen eighties, only one out of ten liberals said they didn't belong to any
religion. Thirty years later, however, that figure was four in ten.
Went from one to ten to four in ten. And again part of that
is because well, if Christianity's going to be associated with the Republicans, and
I don't like Christianity, that's a big part of this partisanship stuff. They're
not going to evaluate safe. And we saw this when we started talking about
you know, the vaccine and other things like that. It even became a
factor with CBDC. That's why I said, well, okay, so if
O RFK Junior is running as a Democrat, maybe you know, that would
help because up to that point only Republicans had pushed back against CBDC. But
they're just two authoritarian If it's something that is going to control other people's lives,
they're going to be on it. So that relationship with organized religion provided
many things all at once, not only a connection to the divine but also
an historical narrative of identity, a set of rituals to organize the weak and
year, and a community of families for the dwindling number of Americans who still
attend services a few times of years. Included experiencing religion in a community and
instilling values in their church and their children. I'm sorry. And so these
are the types of things that Richard Dawkins is saying, Well, you know,
we're losing all this as we lose Christianity. These are real, tangible
things, the idea of community and family. This article from the Atlantic is
really spot on. The US is in the midst of a historically unprecedented decline
and face to face socializing. The social collapse is the steepest for some of
the group with the largest decline in religiosity. Boys and girls aged ages fifteen
to nineteen have reduced their hangouts by more than three hours a week. According
to the American Time Use Survey. There is no statistical record of any period
in US history where young people were less likely to attend religious services, and
also no period when young people have spent more time on their own. They've
been very successful and isolating us from other humans, and a large part of
this is shutting down the churches, as Trump did with his lockdown. A
similar story holds for working class Americans. In twenty nineteen, a team of
researchers the survey, based on long interviews conducted from two thousand to twenty thirteen
with older, low income men without a college degree in working class neighborhoods around
the country. They found that since the nineteen seventies, church attendance among white
men without a college degree had fallen even more than among white college graduates.
For many of these men, the loss of religion went hand in hand with
a retreat from marriage. As marriage declined, men's church attendants might have fallen
in tandem. Today, low income and unmarried men have more alone time than
almost any other group. So we're being isolated from people and churches. We're
being isolated from even marriage and spending time alone. And of course we know
this everywhere, but this is why we are seeing this kind of decline in
our society. People today say they have fewer places to go to live a
collective life. Places that used to anchor community life, like libraries and school
gyms and union halls, have become less accessible or shuttered altogether. Many people
having loss of scaffolding of organized religion seem to have found no alternative method to
build a sense of community. We have our digital, isolated lives, our
virtual lives instead of life in the real world. Just as American churches were
depopulated, America developed a new relationship with technology that in many ways is the
diabolical opposite of a religious ritual, the smartphone and really diabolical in the sense
of diabolos right the devil, as the social psychologist Jonathan Hate writes in his
new book The Anxious Generation, to stare into a piece of glass in our
hands, to be removed from our bodies, to float placelessly, and content
cosmos, to scam our attention from one piece of ephemera to the next.
The Internet is timeless and the best and the worst of ways, and everything
store with no opening or closing time. In the virtual world. There is
no daily, weekly, or annual calendar with structures that people can and cannot
do do things. Digital life is disembodied, asynchronous, shallow and solitary.
And you see this even when people get together and we've all seen maybe we've
done it ourselves, set there looking at our phone instead of talking to the
people that we're with, even when we're with people. On the other hand,
he said, religious rituals are the opposite in almost every respect. They
put us in our body some kinds of movement that marks the activity as devotional
Christians nil Muslims. Prostate religious ritual also fixes us in time. It forces
us to set aside an hour or day for prayer, for reflection, or
for separation from daily habit. It's no surprise that people describe a scheduled break
from their digital devices as a sabbath. Finally, religious ritual often requires that
we make contact with a sacred in the presence of other people, whether in
a church, a mosque, or a synagogue, or even over a dinner
table prayer. In other words, the religious ritual is typically embodied, synchronous,
deep, and collective, as opposed to the alternative, which is disembodied
instead of embodied, asynchronous instead of synchronous, shallow instead of deep, and
solitary instead of collective. So he says, I wonder if in foregoing organized
religion, an isolated country has discarded an old and proven source of ritual at
a time when we most need it. Making friends as an adult can be
hard, is especially hard without a scheduled weekly reunion of congregants. Finding meaning
in the world is hard, too. It's a special difficult if the oldest
system of meaning making holds less and less appeal. It took decades for Americans
to lose religion, it might take decades to understand the entirety of what we
lost. Well, that's a more detailed explanation of what Richard Dawkins is feeling
in an American context when he's talking about it in a British context, isn't
it. And that is exactly the problem that so many of us face.
That is, everything that they seek to do to us is to put us
into a digital, virtual world where we are isolated from each other everything.
And yet what do we have on our side. Well, we have people
like David French, who is a professing Christian, at least he says he's
a Christian, and he went on with MSNBC and he wanted to point out
in the wake of this dispute with CA and so on and Ben Shapiro and
everything, they have focused on this phrase christ is king. He thinks that's
a very dangerous thing to say that, and he's a Christian. Here's what
he said on MSNBC. Well, you know what we saw in on Easter
Sunday was a remarkable display of venom and hatred. I mean really to the
point Miko where you're right to wonder is he okay? And we know the
answer is no, he's not okay. But what's even more disturbing than that
venom and hatred on Easter Sunday itself was the build up of Holy Week.
It featured Trump sharing posts where he compared himself in calling a post where a
supporter compared him to Jesus in the trials he faces in court in New York.
To the trials, Jesus face is a beautiful post. He's selling Bibles.
And then, you know, the sad thing is this isn't just confined
to Trump anymore. He used to be able to say, or used to
try to comfort ourselves by saying, well, Donald Trump is the bad guy,
and then there's just so many good people who are fooled. And there
are still good people who are fooled by him. But it's become increasingly clear
that trump Ism and that trump ethic is really leaking into American Christianity itself,
as we saw when during Holy Week, Christians all over Twitter were posting christ
as King, specifically aimed at Jewish Americans, specifically aimed to assert religious dominance
in a very gross and ugly way. And we're seeing this just leak out,
Mika, and it is very distressing. But even more than that,
it is very dangerous. Is that really what was happening. Where was this
guy? Did he say anything about the transgender Day of Visibility or anything like
that? Is Could that be why Christians were saying Christ is King, not
you? I said that in a sense, I said, you know what,
Biden decides that he's going to do what he decides, he's going to
honor and worship has absolutely no effect on me. It may be an indication
of coming persecution. But I don't worship what he worships. I will oppose
what he worships. And that was oppositional. People were reminding him that as
we looked at Resurrection Sunday, that Christ was king. There's nothing wrong with
that. That's a biblical truth. If you're a Christian, you should understand
that. David French says he's a Christian, but he thinks that we should
shut up about that. Well, he may need to think about who he
is worshiping as king. Who is your king, David French? If it's
not Christ, why do you call yourself a Christian? He ties Trump into
it. This is why I say we need to be strong in our rejection
of Trump. Trump and the people around him, and Christian pastors who cheer
him because they're going to get a big audience, just like these people in
media. Those people are a reproach to Christ, just like some kind of
grifting TV evangelist. They're like a prosperity gospel TV evangelist, and they need
to be opposed. But we don't need to throw away the fact that Christ
is king. Look Trump and his Bible. The appropriate way to respond to
that is just to say that he could create a whole line of books that
he's never read, and they could be the Trump Library. You know,
all the books that Donald Trump hasn't read. You could fill a library with
them. Of course, you can do that with any of us, but
with Trump. And what's especially egregious about this Bible, as I said on
day one, what he's done with the Bible and the Constitution, the Bill
of Rights is to put together very important documents that he should be obeying,
but that he hasn't even read. And that's really what the Trump Bible is
about. But this is, you know, we're increasingly seeing people use this
to attack Christians, to attack Christ, and we need to be active in
rejecting that. In the same way that if you've got the ku Klux Klan
out there running around with a cross. We said, that's not us,
not us, not what we believe. We're not with them, I'm not
with Trump. And you can read into that whatever you compare him to the
Ku Klux Klan as well, because he's not pushing that kind of racism,
but he is using Christ for his own political purposes, no doubt about it.
So he goes back and instead of paying any attention to what happened with
the Bush adment with a busheman with a Biden administration, he goes back to
talk about Candice Owen and it is all about so proper. But the reality
is is that we have to separate what is real from their virtual reality,
and most of this stuff that is being thrown out there, it's just a
bunch of lies and deception and we should always oppose that. Thank you for
