WEBVTT 1 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.039 In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a 2 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.479 revolutionary act. 3 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:45.759 It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes thirteen, 4 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.679 it's Friday, the twenty seventh of March. He're of our Lord, 5 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.399 twenty twenty six. Well, it began as a bad day 6 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.399 for Donald Trump on Thursday. He started ranting on social 7 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.159 media at six am against NATO and Iran, and by 8 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:04.799 the afternoon he had tacoed again. Over the weekend, he 9 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.920 moved markets and scared everybody. When it looked like he 10 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.959 was going to set the Middle East on fire in 11 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.840 two days, then he said, I'll give you another five days. 12 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.040 Now he's going to change it to another ten days, 13 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:19.680 And we're going to take a look at how he 14 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:26.439 got himself and us into a dilemma with no good options. 15 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.719 They could look at what the different options are, and 16 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.120 none of them are good. He is desperate to get 17 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.319 out of this and they're not letting him go. And 18 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:37.799 so we're going to take a look at the foundation 19 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.439 of this insanity as well, because it is a crazy 20 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.480 move and it's got a lot of different aspects to it. 21 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:51.519 They're affecting us in our society politically, economically, and spiritually, 22 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:54.599 we're going to take a look also at the long 23 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:59.640 pipeline of distractions and wars that he and his regime 24 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:10.199 have gone lined up for us. He'll be right back, yes, 25 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.879 when you look at what are his options? Right, he 26 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.560 wants to get out very badly. But if he just 27 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.719 cuts and runs at this point, with all the braggadocio 28 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.479 that he's done and the fact that they started a 29 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.960 war of aggression, it's going to look very, very weak, 30 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.960 and it's going to have That weakness is going to 31 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.759 have big effects on the Petro dollar, on our ponzi 32 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.199 scheme that we've been running now for fifty years or so, 33 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.960 and it's going to have a big effect on the 34 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.039 golf if he leaves, because it's going to leave Iran 35 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.719 in control of the straight oh hor moves and pretty 36 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.879 much in control of the Gulf States. They'll be the 37 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.639 strongest power that's there. And what we built the petro 38 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:55.360 dollar on was an idea of peace and free trade. Well, 39 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.719 he kind of tore that up and threw it to 40 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.000 the wind, all the free trade stuff as well as 41 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.360 now the piece stuff, and everybody is realizing they can't 42 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.319 depend on the United States, and so what does he 43 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.400 do at this point. If he escalates it, that's not 44 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.360 good either. That's going to be a tremendous cost in 45 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.840 terms of lives, in terms of money, in terms of 46 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:23.039 his political future. There's not really any good options for him. 47 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.759 And there's not good options for us as well. Once 48 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.960 we lose the petro dollar, once we lose this status 49 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.039 that we built on that oil that is there, it's 50 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.240 going to reverberate throughout our society. And I keep looking 51 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.240 at this and I remember how things changed with the 52 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.080 opek Co oil embargo changed for the worse. This is 53 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.840 a much much bigger shock, folks. And I don't see 54 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.680 this coming up to anything that's good. I wish I 55 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.240 had some good news, but we've got to be realistic 56 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.360 about this. Even Larry Fink at Blackrock, who is very 57 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.319 excited about this at first, Yeah, this is going to 58 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.280 be great. Like Lindsey Graham said, We're gonna make a 59 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.080 lot of money. We're going to get rich. That guy 60 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.800 he belongs in a prison. It's just amazing. That's his 61 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.680 response to this. It starts a war, people are dying, 62 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.720 Astronomical amounts of money are being spent to kill people. 63 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.639 And his response to all that is, we're going to 64 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.279 get rich. Yeah, well there's a day of reckoning for 65 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.319 Lindsay that's coming. But what does he do with this? 66 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:33.160 He can't regardless of his warpet, hegseeth, beats his chest 67 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.720 and does no matter how many push ups he does. 68 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.160 You can't escape the fact that they don't have a 69 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.240 good military solution. They've had to close thirteen bases. If 70 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:50.800 they do some kind of extremely expensive takeover of carg Island, 71 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.519 expensive in terms of loss of life, they're not going 72 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.240 to be able to hold it. That is right next 73 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.240 to where, right next to the coast. And if the 74 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:07.279 Iranians have been able to so badly damage thirteen bases 75 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.000 throughout the Middle East that they have to be abandoned. 76 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.920 As I played the clip yesterday from scott Ritory, he said, Yeah, 77 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.319 in the middle of the night, people are you know, 78 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.079 they're evacuating these bases and putting people in hotels hiding 79 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.680 out because if they accumulate in one area, the Iranians 80 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.519 can attack them. Now with these missiles, they're accurate and 81 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.959 they have been very strategic in terms of taking out 82 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.279 the missile defense facilities that were there. So if we 83 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.319 can't protect the bases thirteen bases throughout the Gulf States, 84 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.680 how are you going to protect carg Island. It doesn't 85 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.879 make any sense. And when you look at the Gulf 86 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.600 of Horror Moves again, since we're Americans, we don't know geography, 87 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.879 but I looked it up. It's four hundred and ten 88 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.079 miles from the Straight of Horror Moves Carg Island is 89 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.199 So you ask yourself, if the Straight of hor Moves 90 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.680 is the objective now, then why don't we go to 91 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.720 our ally in Oman and say, you know, we want 92 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.959 to set up a base here and be easier than 93 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.639 for us to try to defend this from being in 94 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.040 the sea. No, they don't want us there, and we're 95 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.920 going to do something that's going to cost American lives 96 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.759 because even though we are supposedly the most powerful nation 97 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:28.079 and we're supposedly the ones calling the shot, we have 98 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.439 to do whatever is in the best interest of Israel, 99 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.240 whatever is in the best interest of Oman, and then 100 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.279 whatever is left the Americans get right. While you got 101 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.839 Mike Johnson making up a new award of the America 102 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.759 First Award, and we're giving it. This is the first 103 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.199 time we've given it and we're going to give it 104 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.600 to President Trump. What a boot liquor that guy is. 105 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.759 It's absolutely amazing. Well, this kind of sums it up 106 00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:00.399 this breaking. Trump is left reeling after The New Times 107 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.800 reveals that Iran's attacks have bombed every American military base 108 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.399 in the Middle East so badly that they are quote 109 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.720 virtually uninhabitable. The US military is now working remotely in 110 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.439 the Middle East. They work out of hotels and makeshift 111 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.040 operations centers in civilian Areas a result, according to current 112 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.480 and former military officials, is a war that is much 113 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.000 harder to prosecute. Many of the thirteen military bases in 114 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:27.879 the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, 115 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.759 with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, 116 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.720 suffering perhaps the most damage. You can imagine what it's 117 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.000 going to be like if they take over carg Island. 118 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.800 Iranian officials have even accused US military of using civilians 119 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:47.319 as human shields by putting American troops and hotels. This 120 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.800 is sure to prompt another furious tirade from Trump, who 121 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.920 we now know is not getting the full picture of 122 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.639 just how badly this war is going for him, and 123 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.879 is instead just getting a highlight reel of war porn, 124 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.480 watching our tax dollars blow things up for two minutes 125 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.680 every day, and that's exactly what. That's not an exaggeration. 126 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.279 They give him a highlight reel of stuff that's blowing up. 127 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.519 It's very much like the recruitment video showed you this 128 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.040 week of Pete Hegseth. You know, they play this video 129 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:21.480 game style music and they show pictures of hits in football. 130 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.279 You know, somebody's running with a ball, they get hit 131 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.800 straight on a pal and then they cut right to 132 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.480 an explosion of a bomb hitting a building or something 133 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.240 like that. It's a game with these people. It's like 134 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.799 pew pew pew. You know, he needs to grow up, 135 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.679 But he's exactly the person that Trump wants, just like 136 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.039 Trump wants this brawler Mark Wayne Mullen. He wants him 137 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.320 for the agency that is out there brawling with people 138 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.919 and killing people on the streets ice. It's a perfect 139 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:56.639 demonstration of the blind hubris of the Trump administration. After 140 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.360 two decades of watching America uncontestedly bombed the poor people 141 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.519 in the world, Trump and Hegseth couldn't even conceive of 142 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.279 an enemy with a sophisticated military that was able to 143 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:11.080 fight back despite all the evidence to the contrary. You know, 144 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.799 when we look at what happened in Vietnam, for example, 145 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.799 they didn't have a lot of equipment, but they made do. 146 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.840 They adapted to survive, and the big part of the 147 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.320 problem was the leadership. Of course, the leadership had no 148 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.519 winnable strategy. They would fight a battle somewhere, win the area, 149 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.279 and then abandon it. Again. There was just absolutely no strategy. 150 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.000 And we're seeing this all over again. We're going right 151 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:42.240 through the nineteen seventies. I guess that earlier yesterday. I 152 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.759 just hope they don't bring disco music back. But everything 153 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.519 else is looking just like the seventies, whether you're talking 154 00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:56.039 about economics, or embargoes, or wars, or corrupt, creepy presidents 155 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:02.919 that are liars and crooks. It's crazy. They took no preparations, 156 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.639 they expected no reprisals. They didn't evacuate anyone from the 157 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.840 Redle East until after the war had started. They didn't 158 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.480 bother to prepare for drones either. They attacked Iran because 159 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.279 they are cowards and bullies, thinking that they could implore 160 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.759 they can impose their will on Iran by simply killing 161 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.679 one old man. They are very, very wrong, and now 162 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.120 they have started a fire that they can't put out 163 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:34.919 with lies and bombs. That's exactly right. So you have 164 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.320 Trump exploding at six am this Thursday morning and a 165 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.080 social media rent you woke up early to fire off 166 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.919 a flurry of unrelated and unhitched posts. Maybe he's having 167 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.240 trouble sleeping. He shouldn't be able to sleep based on 168 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:54.639 what he has done. Actually, and so Trump unleashed a 169 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:59.399 furious ministry of truth social tirade against NATO early Thursday 170 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.879 for quote, absolutely nothing to help him with his Iron 171 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:08.360 war mess. Remember earlier this week I played for you 172 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.240 the clip from the guy who was the former head 173 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.080 of the highest ranking official from France and NATO, and 174 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.240 he was going through it. He said, you know, Trump 175 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.440 doesn't even when he wants NATO help, what does he want? 176 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.960 He doesn't want to tell us his plans because he 177 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.840 doesn't know his plans. He's got to figure out what 178 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.120 he wants to do first, and he doesn't even know himself. 179 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:34.159 Everybody can see that he has no idea what he's doing. 180 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.200 So he says, first of all, he's got to figure 181 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.720 out what his goal is his and then we can 182 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.399 talk about how to get there. But he also has 183 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.639 to realize that he's going to be If we're going 184 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.480 to be working with him, there has to be coordination. 185 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.200 That means there has to be command. You just can't 186 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.720 improvise this stuff. You just go around blowing stuff up 187 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:55.960 without any cause. And that's what they're doing. He says. 188 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.840 They can't be out there blowing everything up and we 189 00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:59.879 go do our own thing. We'll wind up killing each 190 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.799 other out there. So it has to be coordination. There 191 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.279 has to be a line of command, he said, to 192 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.919 be American generals in it. But he said he also 193 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.440 has to confide in this of what his plans are. 194 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.159 When he figures out what they're going to be. He said, 195 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.320 we can keep a secret. But then his real insight 196 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.279 was he said, look, Trump doesn't want military help from 197 00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:24.879 France or NATO anybody. He wants political cover. He wants 198 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.360 to bring people in because he's got himself in a 199 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.759 very bad spot here and he knows it and everybody 200 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:32.159 knows it. 201 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.120 Want from his people the same thing he wants from 202 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.600 his generals in command, bootliquors and cycopins. 203 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:42.559 That's right, exactly. So here's the former I played this yesterday, 204 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:46.279 but here's a former sixter, a guy talking about the 205 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.600 fact that, yeah, Iran is winning. 206 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.799 Who has the upper hand right now. 207 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:57.600 I regret having come to this conclusion because like many 208 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.720 am I six officers of my generation, we've faced the 209 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.600 violence and brutality of the IOGC for most of our careers. 210 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.159 Justus the Revolutionary Arts. 211 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.039 Corps, So there is no love lost between us, and 212 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:14.600 I shed no tears for Ali Khamane who was killed 213 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.159 at the beginning of this war. But the reality is 214 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:22.159 the US underestimated the task and I think as of 215 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.000 about two weeks ago, lost the initiative to Iran. In practice, 216 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.039 the Iranian regime has been more resilient than I think 217 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.120 anyone would have expected. They took some good decisions, actually 218 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.960 as early as last June about dispersing their military capability 219 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.639 and delegating the authority for the use of those weapons, 220 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.360 which has given them significant extra resilience against this incredibly 221 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.480 powerful air campaign. They have embarked on what's technically called 222 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.399 horizontal escalation. Are you firing rockets at anybody within range? 223 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.000 Which at the time honestly Showschenka I thought was nuts. 224 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.519 In fact has been a very good way of putting 225 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.639 in direct price on the US. 226 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:05.720 Sort of worked. 227 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.639 And then they've understood the significance of of the energy 228 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:14.480 war and held the Straits at threat and globalized and 229 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:18.399 essentially not internationalized, just globalized the conflict in a way 230 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.360 that gives them some weapons. So you know, they've played 231 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.919 a weekend pretty well. My second point is that Donald 232 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.679 Trump has said some stuff that will have confirmed something 233 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.600 they knew already, which is that they're in a civilizational war. 234 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.600 In their terms, they're in a war of existence. Donald 235 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.440 Trump made it very clear that he wanted to see 236 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.080 them up against the wall basically, whereas America has embarked 237 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.000 on a war of choice, and in those terms, I 238 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.279 think that's imbued them with more staying power than the 239 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.960 US and certain the US counterparts. 240 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.559 That's how we can continue to lose war. We make 241 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.159 it an existential war. For these people, I got everything 242 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.960 to lose, and you know, they're in it for the 243 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.240 fight of their life. And even though they don't have 244 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.240 the sophistic an expensive equipment that we have, they will 245 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.519 win in an asymmetric war. We have seen it over 246 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.519 and over again, over and over again, and this time 247 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.639 what Iran did was they added asymmetric economic warfare to 248 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.799 all of this. And so Trump is tweeting out this 249 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.279 morning or or Thursday morning, he tweeted out, the USA 250 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.399 needs nothing from NATO. But never forget this important point 251 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:30.960 and time. He shouted at six sixteen am. Don't forget it. 252 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.559 With six sixteen am that he shouted that out in 253 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.440 all upper case. 254 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.840 You're winning so badly. 255 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.799 It's tremendous death and destruction from the sky. 256 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.559 They never saw it coming. 257 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.240 And we are dominating completely thy total success. 258 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.240 For those of you who are listening on podcasts, that's 259 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.879 a well ai meme that's got both hegseeth and Trump 260 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.799 bloodied and wearing head bandages and on crutches, bragging about 261 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.600 how they're winning so badly. About twenty minutes after that, 262 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:05.120 he warned iron to quote get serious soon. I think 263 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:08.559 they are serious. As a matter of fact, one of 264 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:13.879 the commanders who had a social media account said when 265 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.480 they were talking about invasion, there was either a carg 266 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.559 island or the straight over moves. He said, We're ready 267 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.799 for you, come closer, taunting them. It's a very chilling 268 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.240 challenge that he has. There they're begging us, he said, 269 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.879 to make a deal. No, they're begging you to come 270 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:37.480 closer because they, unlike you, have prepared for this, which 271 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:42.120 they should be doing since they've been militarily obliterated. He says. 272 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.840 You know, we noticed they keep saying that they have 273 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.480 been obliterated, they can't launch any missiles, and yet they 274 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.919 do somehow. They keep saying they have air superiority, and 275 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:55.960 yet they keep shooting planes and reaper drones down with 276 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.960 zero chance of a comeback. He said, Yet they public 277 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.200 state that they're only looking at our proposal wrong. Granted, 278 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.559 what a joke this guy is. He's pathetic, you know 279 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.079 hebby looks at Pete, Hegseth. But you know he's a 280 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.400 chip off the old block. He then delivered a threat. 281 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:18.359 He said, they've better get serious soon before it is 282 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.880 too late, because once that happens, there's no turning back, 283 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:27.279 and it won't be pretty. He doesn't even insult Well. 284 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.440 Quite frankly, I think this is evidence that they need 285 00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.440 to invote the twenty fifth of Meenber. This guy is 286 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.440 absolutely mentally unstable. It showed you that cartoon where they 287 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.920 had Trump on a couch and a psychiatrist. He says, 288 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:42.759 you know, because Trump was saying that he was talking 289 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:44.319 to the Iranians and the Aranians say, we do not 290 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.480 talk to him at all. The psychiatrist says them, So 291 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.680 these Iranians, are they in this room with us right now? 292 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.279 Do you see them right now? Has the level of 293 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.200 your internal conflicts reached the state of negotiating with yourself? 294 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:05.359 The Iranians mocked him, So again, are the Iranians that 295 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:07.319 you're talking to? Are they in the room right now? 296 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:14.039 And then we have Chris Monahan at Information Liberation has 297 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:20.279 a quote from the former Defense Minister of Israel. You 298 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:24.599 have Gallant, in an article for Barry Weiss's Free Press, 299 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.880 says the US should seize carg Island. He says, yes, 300 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.519 there are risks. He said, any operation to seize KRG 301 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:38.359 would require thousands of troops, sustained air and naval support, 302 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.759 and detailed intelligence, and it would carry a real and 303 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:49.960 expected cost in human life. Well that's a risk that 304 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.519 they're willing to take with Americans lives, isn't it. And 305 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:56.880 that's the thing that really makes me angry go die 306 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:02.079 for Israel just amazing raises maximum age as a sign 307 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.680 of desperation here. I think from thirty five to forty two. 308 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:10.160 As Tony Rdoman pointed out yesterday, yeah uh, you know, 309 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.920 never too old to go die for Israel right and 310 00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.440 the Zionist land lust. 311 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:15.839 Uh. 312 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.839 There is a sinister new power in Iran and it's 313 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.200 not who the West thinks it is. So they're looking 314 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.799 the tea leaves and trying to figure out who is 315 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.240 going to be left standing, and they keep taking out 316 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.119 these people. We someday we're going to learn that when 317 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:40.640 we do assassinations and coups, we wind up making things worse. Right, 318 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.480 we went from a guy who was a leftist U 319 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:45.599 and they didn't like him because he was going to 320 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.240 nationalize the oil companies. We went from him to the 321 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.400 Shaw of Iran. They thought they were winning, you know, 322 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.039 they had the Shaw of Iran. He said, you just 323 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.319 cut me a lot of you cut me some big 324 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.440 fat checks. I'll let you do whatever you want. But 325 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.640 he has had the ruthless Slovak secret police that were 326 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.240 trained by this CIA Massad. And after a couple of 327 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.200 decades of that, we wound up with the Iatoah and 328 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.079 a radical Islamic regime. Now they've gotten rid of these guys, 329 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.640 and they're going to get even more radical people that 330 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.319 are there, and they're radicalizing the people of Iran as well. 331 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:24.279 They were on the right path to get away from 332 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:29.160 these iatolas until we attacked. So everything that they're doing 333 00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.000 makes absolutely no sense. As I said before, Larry Fink, 334 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.119 the CEO of Black Rock, has now done a u 335 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.759 turn on his Iran war optimism. Now he's warned of 336 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:44.319 an impending global recession if the US Israeli war on 337 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.640 Iran drags on and oil prices remain above one hundred 338 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.880 dollars a barrel. The stark prediction comes just weeks after 339 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.039 Fink framed the conflict as a good long term investment opportunity. 340 00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.599 Rich man war, poor man fight. Right, Well, he's going 341 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:01.160 to get more more than a recession. I think he's 342 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.880 going to get a depression. Fink said oil prices could 343 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.839 stay above one hundred dollars per barrel for years if 344 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.799 Iran quote remains a threat, potentially hitting one hundred and 345 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.960 fifty dollars and sparking a quote probably stark in steep recession. Well, 346 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.440 he says one hundred and fifty. The CEO of United 347 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:23.000 is planning for it. To go to one hundred and 348 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.759 seventy five. Of course, the others have said two hundred. Again, 349 00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.079 when we look at what happened in the nineteen seventies, 350 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:35.119 OPEK quadrupleed the OPEC embargo that only lasted I think 351 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:39.319 six months, and it only affected the United States, and 352 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:44.599 that wound up quadrupling the global price of oil, and 353 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:49.000 it stayed there. It didn't come back down. He described 354 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.960 two scenarios, one in which Iran is accepted again by 355 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.359 the international community, and another in which tensions persist, leading 356 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.960 to sustained high energy costs with profound implications. He said 357 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.920 for the global economy. Earlier this month, I think whose 358 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:09.880 company holds significant stakes in major military industrial complex? Defense 359 00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.799 contractors struck a markedly different tone. He dismissed the notion 360 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.640 of a prolonged war, predicting that oil would revert back 361 00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.279 to where it was and maybe even lower after the 362 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:25.000 conflict ends. Well, again, there's Lindsey Graham, and then there's 363 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:31.519 people like Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro's posts about how why 364 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:34.799 do people keep saying that Iran is winning? They're not 365 00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:38.519 going to age too well, His posts about the fact 366 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:40.599 there's no chance they're going to get caught in Quagmi. 367 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.720 There's no chance it's going to drag the world into 368 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:48.160 a global recession. Every point that Ben Shapiro has made 369 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.759 is wrong, and he's doing it. He's wrong because the 370 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.000 only thing that he can see is what's good for Israel, 371 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:58.680 and not even good for the Israeli people. You got 372 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:00.400 a lot of people in Israel who do not like 373 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.480 what's happening. There's tremendous destruction that is happening there. A 374 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.119 lot of people in Israel didn't like what Benjamin NETANYAHUO 375 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.039 was doing to them during COVID, turning him and then 376 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:13.640 into lab rats for Pfizer, which is exactly what he did. 377 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.440 I played clips there was a young teenage girl who 378 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.359 was dying from her vaccine injuries from the genetic code injection, 379 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.880 a very sad story and talking about what had happened 380 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.599 to her in Israel, Trump cast doubt on the prospect 381 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.039 of an Iran deal. Well, yeah, even though he did that, 382 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:38.160 then he comes back on Thursday and he says, now 383 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:40.359 we're going to give it another ten days. So he 384 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:47.079 keeps making these statements, and the stock market is making 385 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.519 and the commodity markets are making huge moves in response 386 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:52.440 to his statements. I mean, this is the type of thing, 387 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:54.640 you know, when the Federal Reserve comes out, it's like 388 00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.119 the old E. F. Hutton commercial, you know, when the F. 389 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.680 Hutton talks, people listen, you know, and everybody restaurant stops 390 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.559 and he's dropping. Well, whenever you have a Federal Reserve 391 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:07.960 chairman saying things like you know, well, I think there's 392 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.240 some irrational exuberance in the stock market boom, everybody thinks, 393 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:12.680 oh no, he thinks it's too high. He's going to 394 00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.680 do something to take it down. As everybody overreacts to 395 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.880 everything they say. That's especially true of what the president says. 396 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:24.559 Even though everybody knows what a blustering windbag Donald Trump is, 397 00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.960 they still react to this stuff as if he was 398 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.640 a real person, a real leader. And so he comes 399 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:32.680 in and he says, well, you know, I think that 400 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.640 we're probably not going to get an iron deal. The 401 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.440 stock market goes down, and he says, oh, we'll do 402 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.279 another ten days. Then it goes back up. Meanwhile, everybody's 403 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.599 paying attention. It's starting to get some traction this story 404 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.000 about the insider trading and the drifting that's going on. 405 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.759 And how somebody knew because they put this these massive 406 00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.960 bets in in just the right way, and multiple exchanges, 407 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.000 a couple of different oil exchanges as well as the 408 00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.960 stock market, and massive, massive bets and did it just 409 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.759 a couple of minutes before Trump did a whipsaw announcement. 410 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.400 As people said, this is suspicious because there was absolutely 411 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.519 nothing that he had said or done that people could 412 00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:17.079 anticipate that he's going to a complete one eighty and 413 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:20.839 he completely keeps flipping like this and moving the markets 414 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:24.200 one way or the other. Trump said it's up to 415 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:27.559 Iranian leaders to convince him to halt the war, saying 416 00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:31.160 he doesn't care about making a deal anymore, and the 417 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.880 US has got a lot of additional targets we want 418 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.559 to hit before we leave. Now, if you are trying 419 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.960 to negotiate with somebody, are you going to talk like that, Yeah, 420 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:42.720 let's hurry up and make a deal, because I've got 421 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.240 a lot of things i want to hit you on 422 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.400 the way out. This is these are people that he's 423 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:55.039 already blindsided and engaged in treachery and perfidy twice telling 424 00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:56.640 you we're going to negotiate while you're in the middle 425 00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.119 of negotiations. He uses that for a sneak attack. He's 426 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:01.480 already done that twice. Now he's saying, let's hurry up 427 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:02.839 and get a deal, because I've got some stuff I 428 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:07.039 want to hit on my way out, he says. Iranian 429 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:12.160 media reports say that Ron has complete doubt about Washington's 430 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:16.519 willingness to negotiate. I'm sorry, George, they keep using your name. 431 00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:21.079 George Washington spending in his grave when he sees this. 432 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.960 George Washington can't tell lie. Donald Trump can't tell the 433 00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:27.759 truth to save his life for his country. The Iranian 434 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:31.599 naval chief has been killed in assassination. I don't know 435 00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:33.759 if they needed him. His entire navy had been wiped out. 436 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:36.359 They had seven frigates and they were all sunk. I mean, 437 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:42.599 they did have a lot of fast speedboats, but maybe 438 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.960 that's what they were doing in Venezuela, just practicing for 439 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:49.839 the Iranian navy of fast speedboats that they have. Well. 440 00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.559 Axios reports that the US has plans for a final 441 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.799 blow despite possible ceasefire agreement coming up. In other words, 442 00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:00.680 that's kind of similar to what Donald Trump was saying. 443 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:01.960 I want to hit him on the way out. That's 444 00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:04.359 something I want to hit a final blow of the 445 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:09.039 Iran war. That could include massive bombing campaign or the 446 00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:11.240 use of ground forces or something like that. Who knows 447 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:13.039 what they're going to do on the way out, just 448 00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:17.400 more perfidy and war crimes. The US is not ready 449 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.039 to put boots on the ground in Iran, says an 450 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.559 ex Indian spy chief, A guy who was the former 451 00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:26.839 Indian foreign minister but also headed India's external intelligence agency, 452 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.880 said a ground invasion would be a hard sell for 453 00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:31.960 the American public. He said, once you put boots on 454 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.440 the ground, that means that you've got to be prepared 455 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.799 for body bags to come back, and that is not 456 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.680 going to be liked by Americans. He said, although we 457 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.200 have seen that the Israeli leaders are just fine with that. 458 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.240 They wouldn't care whatsoever to see a lot of Americans 459 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:50.079 come back in body bags. That's why I call it. 460 00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:52.680 If they don't talk about boots on the ground, talk 461 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:54.960 about boots in the ground, you're going to be burying 462 00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:58.680 these troops, he said. The leader who will emerge the 463 00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:01.079 strongest and the tall US out of the Middle East 464 00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:04.839 is going to be putin. He says he believes the 465 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:07.640 US is always underestimated Iran and referred to a visit 466 00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.920 that he had with Henry Kissinger in two thousand and five. 467 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.240 He said, I was a member then of the Indian 468 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.000 equivalent of the NSSA, and he said, Kissinger said, Duran 469 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:20.599 doesn't behave We'll blow it off the face of the earth. 470 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.160 He said, now it has been twenty one years. See, 471 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:28.599 this is the kind of murderous regime that our government 472 00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:31.799 has become. We need to come to terms with this 473 00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:35.960 and understand truly what this government is. Because this murderous 474 00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:40.680 regime has guns pointed at us, it's got cameras pointed 475 00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:47.200 at us, it's got an Orwellian patalitarian police state that 476 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:53.720 is pointed at us. Never forget that. And so I'm 477 00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.960 continuing on this as we have people asking, you know, 478 00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:02.960 what are the goals this, this two hundred billion dollar 479 00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:09.079 war with Iran? And that is a rhetorical question because 480 00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:12.559 everybody knows there are no goals of this. As I 481 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.160 pointed out yesterday Thomas Massey saying, how long is this 482 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:18.960 going to go on? And what are the goals? And 483 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:23.400 is this only the first two hundred billion? How long 484 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:25.079 is it going to take for this to turn into 485 00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:30.119 a trillion. This is what we see over and over again. 486 00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.160 Two hundred billion here, two hundred billion there. Pretty soon 487 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:34.279 you're talking about real money. 488 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.400 That's right. Yeah, she get the clip of that guy, 489 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:41.960 Everick Dirickson. He was a real character, you know he was. 490 00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.680 Actually he's a Republican from Illinois of all things. Think 491 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.240 about any Republicans from Illinois today, do you.

Travis is working on it, trying 535 00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:07.880 to get something that we can send to people who 536 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.320 have supported us in one of these formats if they 537 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:15.280 want to get a get a broadcast without any commercials, 538 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:18.199 give them a link in terms of if they want 539 00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:20.639 to support us in one of these other places.

And I want to 544 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.599 go back to what we talked about at the beginning 545 00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:34.039 of the week. 546 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:35.280 There was. 547 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.960 A speech that was done by BB or by I 548 00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.760 don't know if it was as Avatar or not. I'm 549 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:47.920 still kind of uncertain about that. We've had some situations 550 00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:51.840 now where it looks like he was in public, but 551 00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.880 you know, the state of AI. And the fact is 552 00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:58.800 that they put out several videos are obviously rigged by AI. 553 00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.840 So you've got to ask you, so why would they 554 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.880 do that? As people were rumors that he had been 555 00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.400 killed or injured, was in coma or something like that. 556 00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:11.239 And so, nevertheless, it's the content of what he has 557 00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.960 to say, because whether it's him or whether there is 558 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:19.119 a situation like Biden, you've got a group of people 559 00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:21.239 who are doing the auto pen and the auto speech 560 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:25.000 and the AI presentation of an avatar, it still represents 561 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.320 the Israeli government. And so when he was talking about 562 00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:33.480 how great Jesus, how great Genghis Khan was and greater 563 00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:35.719 than Jesus, a lot of people said, what's going on 564 00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.719 with this? Well, I'm just quoting this other guy, But 565 00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:44.039 he was really showing how a secular atheist pagan like 566 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:49.920 him is focused on conquering and on land and on money, 567 00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:54.159 on power, putting their trust not in God but putting 568 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:58.199 their trust in their chariots and horses, as I would 569 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:01.320 say in the Old Testament. And I think it's time 570 00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:04.440 for Christians to kind of wake up and understand where 571 00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.559 this is going and stop worshiping this secular government that's 572 00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:12.000 not even their own country, and that it's abusing our 573 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:15.239 country for this. It's a very concerning thing. As a 574 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:18.559 matter of fact, there was Jeffrey sachs is talking to 575 00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:20.360 Piers Morgan. I'm going to clip I'll play for here 576 00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.639 in a second, and that's one of the things he mentioned. 577 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.239 He said, you got to understand there's pretty significant group 578 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.960 of Americans who are looking at all this and you know, 579 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:29.519 this is some of the stuff that's coming from Pete 580 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.400 Hesse saying, you know, well this is good because it's 581 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:34.159 the end of the world, and you know, I get 582 00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:37.199 helicoptered out of here that type of thing. You got 583 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.559 to be careful that you don't fall into something like that. 584 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:42.840 And more than anything, you got to be careful that 585 00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.719 you don't replace. If you are a professing Christian, you 586 00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:51.280 need to follow Christ. You need to try to figure 587 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:55.159 out it's not that easy to try to have a relationship. 588 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:58.760 You know, we all can have it at one simple aspect, 589 00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:00.639 but we have something we have to strive for. And 590 00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:03.760 yet I look at some of these churches. What they're 591 00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:07.559 striving for is to kind of try to figure out 592 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:09.760 like some kind of a fortune telling thing, and it 593 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.119 looks more like fortune telling and divination than it does 594 00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:16.400 looking at prophecy. From my perspective, at least, that's the 595 00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.320 way I look at it. And if you spend all 596 00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:20.199 your time trying to figure out what's going on with 597 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:24.480 current events, wars and politics and foreign governments and other 598 00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.079 groups of people who deny the Lord Jesus Christ as 599 00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:30.360 Lord and savior, you spend all your time focused on that, 600 00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.199 you're wasting time that you could be spending trying to 601 00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:38.360 have a better relationship with Christ. That's just going to 602 00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:40.360 make the difference in your life, folks. It's you know, 603 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:42.519 we look at all of these problems that are coming along. 604 00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.000 There's a lot of bad news in the world, isn't there. 605 00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.440 You know, there's nothing but clouds on the horizon, whether 606 00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:51.920 you're looking at economics or peace or war or any 607 00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.440 of the rest of the stuff. And yet there can 608 00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:59.840 be in your life a joy, a peace that passes 609 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:03.840 any kind of secular understanding. Certainly not Yaho's not going 610 00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:05.840 to understand it. Trump's not going to understand it. These 611 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.199 guys are busy trying to figure out how they can 612 00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:11.760 kill somebody to take their land or property. And so 613 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:13.760 it's not it's a piece that they don't have. They're 614 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:16.760 going to wake up at six am raging at some 615 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:20.719 group or some people across the world. That's really what 616 00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:23.480 you want to focus on. And it bothers me a 617 00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:29.239 great deal to see that non Christians think that what 618 00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.960 these people are focused on is Christianity. They're not following Christ. 619 00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:38.400 They're following current events. They're following secular political governments. They're 620 00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:43.639 not following Christ. And when Jesus said, you know you 621 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:47.480 search the scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. 622 00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:50.960 Some people are searching the scriptures because they think they're 623 00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:54.239 going to get helicoptered out of here without having to die. 624 00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:57.760 But he said they testify of me. If he were 625 00:38:57.800 --> 00:38:59.480 to come back and look at this, he would say, 626 00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.719 you search scriptures, because then then you think you've got 627 00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:04.400 a title deed to most of the Middle East. That's 628 00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:09.280 what Zionism is really about. Except what we're looking for 629 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:13.960 is not a temporary expanse of land. We're looking for 630 00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:19.679 an eternal relationship, eternal life with Christ. That's what brings 631 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.639 peace to people. That's what's really valuable. Was it profit 632 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.400 a man to gain the entire Middle East and lose 633 00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.840 his own soul. These people are not just at war 634 00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.159 with these Gulf state countries, they are at war with 635 00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:40.280 the Lord. And again read their own scriptures. Why do 636 00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:45.960 they rage at God and his anointed? And that is 637 00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:49.199 the sad part about it. And I just have to say, 638 00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:51.400 and it's important for us to say this because people 639 00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:55.039 need to understand that is not what Christianity is about 640 00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:58.679 at all. Christianity is about the Lord Jesus Christ, not 641 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:04.800 about and they have replaced that's a real replacement theology. 642 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:10.480 They replaced Christ with a secular political state. It's always 643 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:12.880 easy to create an idol, and we've got a lot 644 00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:15.119 of these Christian nationalists that are doing the same thing 645 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:21.239 with America. Right, So you can put the American political 646 00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.400 government or system, or you can you can even do 647 00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:26.440 that with your family, right. I've seen that in some 648 00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:30.679 homeschooling churches that I've had some involvement with. You can 649 00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:33.960 make an idol out of anything, even out of good 650 00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:38.000 things like the family. And it's really sad when you 651 00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:39.960 make an idol out of something that is as evil 652 00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:45.119 as these political systems. So at the bottom, a natural 653 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:48.079 selection of the fittest individuals and groups and a struggle 654 00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:54.400 wherein goodness receives no favors. That's really the philosophy extended 655 00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:58.760 of this guy Will Durant that Netanyahu is quoting. And 656 00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:02.800 you notice what that says. A natural selection of the 657 00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:06.239 fittest individuals, a survival of the fittest. This goes back 658 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:10.320 to a kind of evolutionary nihilism. That's what wil Durant 659 00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.000 was putting out. That's the context of where he says, well, 660 00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:17.920 Genghis Kan is greater than Jesus Christ, because this is 661 00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:26.559 coming from a godless, evolutionary nihilism worldview. And yet we 662 00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:30.280 look at this and we see that God is in control. 663 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:34.559 That is a very stabilizing thing that gives you an anchor, 664 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:37.559 put something under your feet. Otherwise, I just don't know 665 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:40.599 how these people get through life. You know, they're constantly 666 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:43.039 looking behind them thinking somebody's going to take something from them, 667 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.760 because that's what they would do. It's going to be 668 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:47.639 survival of the fittest. So you've got to get these 669 00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:49.800 people before they get you. That's how we're in this 670 00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.159 war right now with Iran. I got to get them 671 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.559 before they get us. He argued that Israel, along with 672 00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.599 the world's democracies has quote no choice but to quote 673 00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:03.199 a posse their enemies and time while there is still time. 674 00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:08.920 So again, out of an evil heart that rejects God 675 00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:14.440 and is in rebellion to God, comes this war, this 676 00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:17.920 death that they are inflicting on everybody. We have no 677 00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:19.960 choice but to get these people before they get asked. 678 00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:23.679 That's what happens when you have pushed the Lord Jesus 679 00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:25.639 Christ out of your life and you want to become 680 00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:28.960 Ginghis Khan. Nettana, who responded, he said, all he meant 681 00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:33.039 to convey was that a quote morally superior civilization may 682 00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:36.239 still fall to a ruthless enemy if it doesn't have 683 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:41.039 the power to defend itself. Let's understand that you will 684 00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:48.039 become a ruthless civilization if you have the values, if 685 00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:51.000 you value what Ginghis Khan did. If you decide that 686 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:52.719 you're going to take out your enemies before they have 687 00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:54.360 a chance to take you out, you're going to kill 688 00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:59.000 everybody around you. That is the kind of Machiavelian path 689 00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:02.400 to unhappiness. Quite frankly, yes. 690 00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:06.639 The idea that Jesus isn't greater than Genghis Khan can 691 00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:11.440 only happen from someone that's strictly looking at the material world. 692 00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:14.719 Christ was very clear that his kingdom is not of 693 00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:18.119 this world, but Nata who wants to make it that 694 00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:21.719 his kingdom is only the greater Israel project. Until they 695 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:23.840 get all that land, then it will be even more. 696 00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.119 That's right. And when you go to the church that 697 00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:29.480 I think the first name is John Hagi, who was 698 00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.480 in San Antonio. He's got a big megachurch. They have 699 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:35.960 Israeli flags up, they bring in Israeli politicians and it's 700 00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.800 current events and Israel Israel Israel all the time. They 701 00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:43.559 basically have pushed Christ and God out of their church. 702 00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:46.639 I'll look at this sense, why would anybody go to 703 00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:48.920 a church like that. I just don't see how there 704 00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:53.440 is any comfort at all in placing your trust in 705 00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:56.519 a government, especially a foreign government. It's not going to 706 00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:59.719 do anything to help you at all. Unofficial Israeli spokesperson 707 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:05.519 Elon Levy insisted that Mike doesn't make right, but without it, 708 00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:10.599 the righteous perish, do they? God's hand is too short 709 00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:13.920 to save. See that's the key thing. You know, we 710 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:15.440 go back and take a look at the things we 711 00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:19.119 all faced as individuals. A lot of you faced situations 712 00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:22.360 where you had there was a threat you were going 713 00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:24.320 to lose your job, lose your career that you'd work 714 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.599 for and invested a lot of time in to get 715 00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:28.800 to where you were, and it was all going to 716 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.519 be taken away from you. And many people did it 717 00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:37.639 anyway because they had they had real religious objections to this, 718 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.760 and they trusted God to take care of them. You know, 719 00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:43.639 I haven't talked to a single person that took that 720 00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:46.800 lonely path, that gave up their job and their position 721 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:51.039 because they wanted to follow God and follow their conscience. 722 00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:54.239 I've not talked to a single person who has any regrets. 723 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:58.199 They all are as better as well off. Most of 724 00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:01.320 them are much much better. They wound up starting their 725 00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:03.719 own business, or they found an employer who was actually 726 00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:06.880 a good employer, somebody that's going to treat you like 727 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.039 a human being instead of an animal that's part of 728 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:13.559 their inventory. They all came out better. Why because they 729 00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:16.559 put their trust in God. God says that he will 730 00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:19.400 honor those who honor him. Can we not trust that 731 00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:22.519 is the only promise in the Bible, the promise that 732 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.639 Israel gets all the Middle East, And that's not even 733 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:31.639 promised that's not promised. God made promises to them. He 734 00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:35.039 had Joshua say, and God has fulfilled that promise. He's 735 00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:37.840 given you all the land that he promised. He also 736 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:40.880 promised that he would take them out if they didn't 737 00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:45.280 follow him. So yeah, he does keep those promises, doesn't he. 738 00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:50.800 So Durant's original historical assessment, delivered from a perch of 739 00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:57.239 smug secularism, unquestionably did diminish Christ's historical stature. Elsewhere, they 740 00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.840 trace how contemporary Christianity has progressed to the idea that 741 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.920 Jesus is a tame lion unnerved by the Jesus of 742 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:07.360 old paintings who cast people onto the fires of hell. 743 00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:12.119 Gentle main lion Jesus now appears no match for Genghis 744 00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.960 Khan and no wonder As Dorothy Sayers said, we have 745 00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:20.639 effective efficiently paired the clause of the Lion of Judah 746 00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:24.559 certified him as meek and mild, and recommended him as 747 00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:29.719 a fitting household pet for pale curates and pious old ladies. 748 00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.039 So that's one of the reasons why C. S. Lewis 749 00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:35.840 would portray as in the Lion as a picture of Christ. 750 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:39.159 He would make sure that the kids realize that he's 751 00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:42.360 really dangerous. You know, you gotta watch out. Like many 752 00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:48.360 Jews whose identity is more in natural and cultural than religious, Netanyah, 753 00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:52.000 who has inherited the secular liberal legacy, deep in the 754 00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.920 heart of Jewish self understanding is a belief that absolutely 755 00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:59.559 no one is coming to save the Jews accept the Jews. 756 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.440 And again, this is what we talked about earlier this week, 757 00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:06.559 the different interpretations of Christian versus the Jewish interpretation of 758 00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:12.760 Isaiah fifty three, the Rabbinical Jews after Jesus, because remember 759 00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:17.119 we've found from the dead Seas rolls that they predated 760 00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:21.360 Christ by seven hundred years. And so the book of 761 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:25.960 Isaiah throughout is talking about how God's people had turned 762 00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:30.280 from him. And so if God's people have turned from him, 763 00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:35.719 and as Isaiah said, all all have sinned, all have 764 00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:39.119 gone their own way like sheep, we've all gone astray. Right, 765 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.480 So if that's the case, how do you get if 766 00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:47.519 the servant then is not a redeeming Messiah but the 767 00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:51.679 collective group of Israel. If they are under condemnation for 768 00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:54.599 each having gone their own way, and there is no 769 00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:59.159 one righteous, not one, how then do they can they 770 00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:01.199 then be sinless. At the same time, you've got a 771 00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:06.360 self contradictory statement there if you don't see the servant 772 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:12.159 as being a figure like Christ who is sinless and 773 00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:17.039 dying for the sins of the people, not just the Israelis, 774 00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:20.360 but everybody, all the nations. And so there's issues like that, 775 00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:22.800 and that's what happens. That's why I say we look 776 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:26.360 at Zionism, when we look at dispensationalism. What it's doing 777 00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:30.559 is replacement theology, replacing Christ with Israel, which is what 778 00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:36.639 the rabbinical commentators did in Isaiah fifty three. They replaced 779 00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:41.920 the Messiah the Savior with the nation of Israel. It 780 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:47.119 is self contradictory. We will save ourselves, we don't need anybody. 781 00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:49.440 Nobody is coming, and so we're in this and we've 782 00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:52.000 got to get everybody else before they get us. That's 783 00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:56.400 why you see the kinds of atrocities being committed by 784 00:48:56.800 --> 00:49:00.800 the Israeli government, because it comes from that attitude. Out 785 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:05.239 of the heart come these actions. As a man thinks, 786 00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:08.079 so is he. They see themselves not only as the 787 00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.000 last best hope for their own people, but for all 788 00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:13.639 of civilization, and they are saving the world right now 789 00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:18.000 they think while Christians dream about flying away to heaven someday, 790 00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:22.480 that's how they see us. And I'm afraid there's a 791 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:26.559 lot of Christians who live their life that way. Christ 792 00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:29.760 is not merely an admirable man who told the world 793 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:34.400 to be kind and then got murdered for his efforts. 794 00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:36.840 You know, that's you know the whole thing that well, 795 00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:38.760 he took on the bankers, and the bankers killed him. 796 00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:43.000 That's a bad understanding. He said, no one takes my 797 00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:44.960 life from me. I lay it down for my friends, 798 00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:49.320 and I can take it back up again. And he 799 00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:53.920 did that deliberately. And his death is not merely one 800 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:57.480 more historical event that is sad, and a long line 801 00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:01.119 of sad historical events. Christ did not require our assistance 802 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:04.480 to save the world, nor will he require our permission 803 00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:08.039 to subdue it when he returns in judgment and great glory. 804 00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:11.119 And so that's why when you look at the Zionists 805 00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:16.559 like Huckabee, they ignore Christ, and they do a great 806 00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:20.840 disservice to him and a great disservice to the people 807 00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.840 that they should be giving the Gospel to, especially the 808 00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:28.320 Jewish people. Don't worry, you don't need to I've heard 809 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.559 Paul White say that, don't worry you don't they're Jewish, 810 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:32.840 You don't need to give them the Gospel. Yes they 811 00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:37.280 need it. And so what is the fruit of this 812 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:40.480 when we single out one group of people, or one 813 00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:43.679 group of people single out themselves and say that they 814 00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:48.400 are better than everybody else. Isn't that what the Germans 815 00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:51.360 were famous for with their master race. Well, you wind 816 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:54.519 up with things like this. Gwn Greenwal said he was 817 00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:59.960 surprised to see the prohibitions against any of the bds. 818 00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:05.440 The boycott, divest, and forget what the essay is about. 819 00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:09.000 But people who want to do an economic boycott of 820 00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:12.760 Israel that's prohibited in most states. 821 00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:16.079 Thirty six states, mostly Red states, but not only And 822 00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:18.079 I know you heard me talk about there's Attucker, there's 823 00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:19.880 a lawn place that says if you want to have 824 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:23.119 a contract with the state government, you have to certify 825 00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:25.800 that you do not support or participate in the government 826 00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:29.199 a boycott of Israel. You can boycott the United States 827 00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:31.800 and other states. You can boycott North Carolina, you can 828 00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:36.280 boycott Norway or Indonesia or Peru. You just can't boycott 829 00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:39.039 this one country, Israel. And I actually profiled a woman 830 00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:43.039 who had strolling job performances in Texas where she was 831 00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:46.599 a speech pathologist in Austin school district, but she supported 832 00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:49.880 a boycott of Israel and she got fired. This is 833 00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:52.880 unbelievable that as citizen in the United States, if you 834 00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:54.719 want a contract with the state, you have to certify 835 00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:57.159 you don't participate in a boycott or support a boycott 836 00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:00.880 of a foreign country. There's no similar laws for Palestinians 837 00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:03.599 because the power center in our governments and did our 838 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:08.719 financial private sector power centers are obviously far more pro 839 00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:09.840 Israel than anything else. 840 00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:18.239 So yeah, thirty six states that sevent you cannot boycott 841 00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:21.679 Israel or there'll be repercussions for you. Take a look 842 00:52:21.719 --> 00:52:26.679 at this sheriff arrested somebody who did a meme criticizing him, 843 00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:31.719 and they put up some Jewish memes there. I don't 844 00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:33.280 know if the sheriff is Jewish. Now do you remember 845 00:52:33.320 --> 00:52:35.599 trying Lance. Do you remember if he was Jewish or not? 846 00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:38.559 I had heard he wasn't, but I'm not sure. 847 00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:40.320 Well, I'll just let you see the clip here and 848 00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:41.000 we'll talk about it. 849 00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:42.679 I'll give you this by way of example. 850 00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:50.480 Some sponscum felt empowered and emboldened enough to put this 851 00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:55.239 picture of me up to try to threaten and intimidate me, which. 852 00:52:55.039 --> 00:52:57.880 Of course he didn't do because I signed up for this. 853 00:52:58.400 --> 00:53:00.800 Yeah, I'm not at all about. 854 00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:02.360 This, right, A bunch of terrible things. 855 00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:05.000 I've got really thick skins. So somebody puts a picture 856 00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.039 of me up with a Star of David on my forehead, 857 00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:08.480 I'm perfectly fine with that. 858 00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:10.960 I signed up for the way it was arrested today 859 00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:18.079 in Wisconsin. If this person is emboldened and empowered enough 860 00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:18.960 by the. 861 00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:20.039 First Amendment. 862 00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:23.559 To do this for me, what does he do to 863 00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:26.159 a kid? What does he do to a Jewish family 864 00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:27.239 walking down the street? 865 00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:30.039 Think of the meme he would tell me. 866 00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:32.360 And that's because of the normalization of this. 867 00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:37.079 He's so mean television and saying Okay, I feel empowered 868 00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:38.320 enough that I can do this. 869 00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:41.119 Well, A, you can't, and. 870 00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.719 B why not? If you think this is what the 871 00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:44.840 hate speech turns into. 872 00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:47.679 Folks Again, what are you going to do in a 873 00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:51.199 in an alley or in a street to a Jewish 874 00:53:51.320 --> 00:53:53.159 family or a kid walking down the street. 875 00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:55.360 If you've got the nerve to criticize me the share 876 00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:57.360 think what they do to anybody else is not as 877 00:53:57.360 --> 00:54:01.239 important as me. How THEU that is. I remember when 878 00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:06.039 Rowan Atkinson years ago and unfortunately they got a temporary reprieve, 879 00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:08.119 but it didn't last long. Trying to shut down these 880 00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:11.320 hate speech laws. He made a he talked about how 881 00:54:11.320 --> 00:54:12.800 it's going to be the end of comedy, you know, 882 00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:14.800 he and John Clees and a lot of people like that. 883 00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:18.119 And he said, please insult me. Go ahead, insult me. 884 00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:21.280 I can take it because I want to have free speech. 885 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:25.199 And uh, it's we don't want to live like that. 886 00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:27.519 That's one of the most disgusting clips I've seen this 887 00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:30.599 week is that sheriff. Imagine this guy, this pond scum 888 00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:33.440 who put a clip up of me, and he's got like, 889 00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:35.840 what was it, like dreadlocks or whatever they have the 890 00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:37.599 ultra orthodox. 891 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:39.039 It's the curly sideburned thing. 892 00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:40.840 I don't know what they call curly hair. I don't 893 00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:42.480 know what it's called. But and then he's got a 894 00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:44.320 star of David on his heading. Go he did this 895 00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:47.280 of me? How dare him do something like that? He 896 00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:52.199 is empowered and embolden, Yeah, by the First Amendment, which 897 00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:56.039 you swore to hold. It's pretty pathetic and then we've 898 00:54:56.079 --> 00:55:00.440 got this. This is a US sergeant who has been 899 00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:02.800 kicked out because they didn't like what he had to 900 00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:05.119 say about a foreign government, Israel. 901 00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:09.960 So after twenty years of service in the military, yesterday 902 00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:17.000 I got pulled into an officer's office and counseled for 903 00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:22.239 posts that I have on my social media. During the counseling, 904 00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:26.599 they told me I'm under investigation as a threat to 905 00:55:26.679 --> 00:55:28.239 national security. 906 00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:29.800 Which nation. 907 00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:33.159 When I asked for proof like what the posts were yesterday, 908 00:55:33.239 --> 00:55:34.360 they refused to give it to me. 909 00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:37.519 They made me come back today. 910 00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:40.440 To further go over stuff. 911 00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:43.760 They gave me the proof, and the proof they gave 912 00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:50.480 me are anti Israel post. Now, I when I joined 913 00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:55.079 the military, I took an allegiance to support the United 914 00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:59.960 States of America. I did not ever take an allegiance 915 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:05.519 to support Israel. But yet I am deemed a national 916 00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:10.719 a threat to national security because I do not support 917 00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:16.000 Israel and there genocide against the Palestinian people. 918 00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:18.039 Yes, you heard that right. 919 00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:22.199 I am deemed a threat to national security because I 920 00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:27.760 don't support Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people. 921 00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:33.079 That's right.

We're not going to be owned by 935 00:57:10.239 --> 00:57:12.719 these Zionists who are trying to take over our government. 936 00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:16.199 We will criticize our own government, and we will criticize 937 00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:19.039 your government.

As a matter 939 00:57:21.400 --> 00:57:25.280 of fact, we've got a situation right here in Tennessee. 940 00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:30.440 We've got this thug state senator who put a bill 941 00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:33.239 in to say, well, you're not going to be even 942 00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:38.559 allowed to refer to that geographical area as Palestine. You 943 00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:41.719 have to refer to it as Judea and Samaria. You know, 944 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:45.719 like Huckabee wants to refer to it. This is a 945 00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:51.920 journalist with the Tennessee Haller, and the guy is Jewish himself. 946 00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:59.079 And this Jewish journalist engages this senator, who then threatens him. 947 00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:00.960 Of course, I'm going. 948 00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:03.400 To that veteran saying that that bill came from an 949 00:58:03.480 --> 00:58:05.360 organization that believes in annexation. 950 00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:08.320 What do you think about that?

Yeah, 971 00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:03.760 the camera is the witness that he did, So don't 972 00:59:03.800 --> 00:59:08.480 worry about that. Why are you doing Israel's bidding while amazing? 973 00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:09.159 That's the question. 974 00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:13.000 This is right here in Tennessee. 975 00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:17.559 Are you concerned at all that you're doing Israel. 976 00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:19.800 Boot liquor for Israel? And this is a Jewish reporter 977 00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:21.199 calling him out on this. 978 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:22.800 It's not just Democrats. 979 00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.920 This isn't a partisan issue. Why is it our business 980 00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:29.000 to be changing the name of something? Take a swing 981 00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:32.239 at me then, Paul, go ahead, see what happens. Paul, 982 00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:33.880 You're too old to be doing stuff like that. Man, 983 00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:37.199 I'm too old to be threatening people. 984 00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:37.480 Dude. 985 00:59:40.880 --> 00:59:46.199 Yeah. Again, the reporter is justin Canoe and he has 986 00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:50.639 a publication called Tennessee Holler. And he said, why are 987 00:59:50.639 --> 00:59:53.559 you doing Israel's bidding as they're pushing us into war? 988 00:59:53.639 --> 00:59:56.119 He said, and I say this as a Jew who 989 00:59:56.119 --> 01:00:00.199 has family in Israel. He said, you're doing is real 990 01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:03.320 is bidding. And he said, you know, if I was 991 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:09.000 at home, i'd bust your face right now threatening me. No, sir, 992 01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:12.159 I'm not certainly sounds like a threat. And then the 993 01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:13.960 other guy says, well, I'm the witness that he didn't 994 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:16.679 in the canoe says, the camera is the witness that he did. 995 01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:20.599 So don't worry about that. She had this guy on 996 01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:23.960 to talk to him. Good job. You know. That's one 997 01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:26.360 thing I really hate. They want to shut everybody down. 998 01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:29.599 No criticism is allowed. They can do whatever they want 999 01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:32.679 as long as they want. They can target civilians, they 1000 01:00:32.679 --> 01:00:35.639 can make it clear that they want to kill everybody 1001 01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:39.320 because they want the land, and hey, who are we 1002 01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:41.239 to argue with them. If they want the land, they 1003 01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:48.000 can take it right. Well, you have the UK Telegraph 1004 01:00:48.599 --> 01:00:50.880 cave to it. The Tennessee holler didn't good for you, 1005 01:00:50.920 --> 01:00:54.440 but the UK Telegraph did cave to all this. There 1006 01:00:54.480 --> 01:00:58.719 was an article about the Epstein Empire and they talked 1007 01:00:58.760 --> 01:01:02.840 about Christians and Hesbelah. The Telegraph has removed an article 1008 01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:05.880 from its website that's in the UK about the close 1009 01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:09.960 ties between Hesbela and the Christian town of raz Bilbeck 1010 01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:14.000 in northeastern Lebanon. The story, which is accessible for only 1011 01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.199 about a day, portrayed the militant movement in a positive 1012 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:21.000 light while mentioning the local resentment of Israel. The story 1013 01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:24.000 was published on Monday, amid the ongoing Israeli military offensive 1014 01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:27.400 against Hesbolah in Lebanon that began earlier this month and 1015 01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:30.599 has already left more than eight hundred and eighty people dead, 1016 01:01:31.159 --> 01:01:36.360 over two thousand injured, and about a million people displaced. 1017 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:40.480 When Jerusalem launched the campaign after Hesbola launched waves of 1018 01:01:40.559 --> 01:01:43.519 strikes on the Jewish state and retaliation for the killing 1019 01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:48.360 of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Kamani and a joint 1020 01:01:48.440 --> 01:01:52.760 US Israeli campaign against Iran. According to the now inaccessible article, 1021 01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:56.920 the residents of ras Balbeck formed a strong bond with 1022 01:01:57.000 --> 01:02:01.079 Hesbola when the militants came to their defense against attacks 1023 01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:07.159 by ISIS militants between twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen. Hesbela 1024 01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:09.960 also reportedly aided the town with medical care during the 1025 01:02:09.960 --> 01:02:14.400 COVID nineteen pandemic, supplied electricity generators and even gave them 1026 01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:17.880 Christmas trees. Well, we can't talk about that, So the 1027 01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:23.440 UK Telegraph, which is a major international publication, took the 1028 01:02:23.639 --> 01:02:27.440 article down because you can't show that there is anything 1029 01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:30.679 good about some groups of people, right, we have to 1030 01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:34.800 have this tribalism. We have to have the master race, 1031 01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:37.840 or the chosen people, or whatever they want to call it. 1032 01:02:38.280 --> 01:02:41.480 The relationship between the village and Hesbelah, they said, is 1033 01:02:41.519 --> 01:02:44.760 stronger than that with the they have with the Pope. 1034 01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:48.559 The head of the town with six thousand strong Catholic population, 1035 01:02:48.639 --> 01:02:52.840 told the Telegraph, adding that the Shia Muslim movement members 1036 01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:58.039 quote protect our churches. Israel is our first enemy. Hesbelah 1037 01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:01.679 is our friend, they said. A Muslim refugee residing in 1038 01:03:01.719 --> 01:03:04.760 the village also told journalists that Hesbelo was allegedly fighting 1039 01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:10.440 child eating Epstein people who say that we are not human. 1040 01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:14.840 On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced plans for 1041 01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:18.000 the occupation of southern Lebanon up to the Latani River, 1042 01:03:18.840 --> 01:03:22.199 some forty kilometers north of the Lebanese border, that's about 1043 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:26.760 twenty four miles. Hesbela has called West Jerusalem's plans an 1044 01:03:26.800 --> 01:03:32.119 existential threat, adding that it has no choice but to fight. Well. 1045 01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:37.960 He had John Kiriaku on with Joe Rogan, and he 1046 01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:40.239 had this to say about what is going on with 1047 01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:42.079 the settlers and the land there. 1048 01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:44.599 Talking about the West Bank right where just two weeks 1049 01:03:44.599 --> 01:03:48.079 ago a Christian village ceased to exist because settlers from 1050 01:03:48.119 --> 01:03:52.079 New Jersey took all their houses. You know what happens 1051 01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:54.039 next from New Jersey. 1052 01:03:54.360 --> 01:03:54.599 Yeah. 1053 01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:57.679 There are a lot of synagogues in New York, New Jersey, 1054 01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:03.119 Toronto that have these things called real estate seminars where 1055 01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:04.880 you can put your name on a list and then 1056 01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:08.119 they call you and say, hey, house just opened up 1057 01:04:08.119 --> 01:04:10.440 over here in this Arab village that's not Arab anymore. 1058 01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:12.280 Come and take your house. 1059 01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:15.079 You are stealing my house. 1060 01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:16.920 And if I don't stealing, someone else is going to 1061 01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:17.440 steal this. 1062 01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:20.920 And the two weeks ago the village that the one 1063 01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:22.639 of the last remaining Christian villages. 1064 01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:25.320 Drives me crazy. 1065 01:04:26.840 --> 01:04:29.960 So what do you think they're overall strategies they eventually 1066 01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:31.760 want to just take over all oh house. 1067 01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.239 I think we should We should believe the Israelis when 1068 01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:37.000 they tell us that they believe in greater Israel. 1069 01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:40.920 That's right? And what does greater Israel look like? 1070 01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:44.800 In twenty twenty four, an Israeli soldier was photographed in 1071 01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:48.360 Gaza wearing this badge. It shows an imagined country stretching 1072 01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:50.880 from the Nile in Egypt to the Euphrates in Iraq. 1073 01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:55.360 It includes all of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and chunks of Syria, Egypt, 1074 01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:58.960 Iraq and Saudi Arabia. It's called Greater Israel, what Israeli 1075 01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:03.400 Prime Minister Benjamin net Yahoo calls a historic and spiritual mission. Today, 1076 01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:08.639 Israel's internationally recognized territory covers almost twenty one thousand square kilometers. 1077 01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:12.760 The territory on that badge roughly half a million square kilometers. 1078 01:05:13.119 --> 01:05:17.039 Basically twenty five times larger. Is Greater Israel already happening 1079 01:05:17.079 --> 01:05:21.199 on the ground. A smaller version already exists Israel plus 1080 01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:25.119 the occupied Palestinian territories, plus the Goal and heights taken 1081 01:05:25.199 --> 01:05:29.039 from Syria about twenty seven thousand square kilometers, with eight 1082 01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:33.000 hundred thousand settlers on illegally occupied land. The big version 1083 01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:35.840 seen on the badge would absorb, in whole or in part, 1084 01:05:36.239 --> 01:05:39.159 land from seven sovereign nations where over one hundred and 1085 01:05:39.159 --> 01:05:42.440 twenty million people live, supported by settlers, and given a 1086 01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:45.519 nod by the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. But 1087 01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:47.840 where did the idea come from? It traces back to 1088 01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:51.360 Genesis fifteen eighteen, where God makes a covenant with Abraham, 1089 01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:54.920 promising his descendants that land. It is quoted by the 1090 01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:58.440 founder of modern Zionism, Theodore Hertzel in eighteen ninety eight 1091 01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:01.599 as the borders of a future Jewish state. Decades later, 1092 01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:05.280 the idea became a strategy. In nineteen eighty two, Voted Yinon, 1093 01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:09.000 a former Israeli Foreign Ministry official, published a strategy for 1094 01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:12.519 Israel in the nineteen eighties. The article argued that Israel's 1095 01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:16.960 security required the fragmentation of surrounding Arab states. In nineteen 1096 01:06:17.039 --> 01:06:19.760 ninety six, a policy paper for Netanyahu called a Clean 1097 01:06:19.840 --> 01:06:23.880 Break recommended abandoning the Oslo peace process and weakening Iraq, Syria, 1098 01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:27.639 and Lebanon. From Herzel to Netanyahu, more than a century apart, 1099 01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:31.039 there's one trajectory. You don't take the land, you break 1100 01:06:31.079 --> 01:06:33.320 the states around you until no one can stop you 1101 01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:35.920 from taking what you want. That pattern is playing out 1102 01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:39.440 right now. Finance Minister Bezelel Smotrich laid out the strategy 1103 01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:42.920 in a leaked recording do the annexation without calling it annexation. 1104 01:06:43.480 --> 01:06:46.599 His map claims eighty two percent of the occupied West Bank. 1105 01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:50.360 He vowed to add a million Israeli settlers to Palestinian land, 1106 01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:54.840 about half of Israelis polled support expanding control over Palestinian 1107 01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:59.079 territories and pursuing annexation. Support for negotiating a Palestinian state 1108 01:06:59.119 --> 01:07:03.719 has collapsed to just one in ten in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran. 1109 01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:05.960 The wars of the past two years almost all fall 1110 01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:08.519 within the borders of the Greater Israel map. Many steps 1111 01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:12.679 are similar a military operation, a buffer zone, and then outposts, settlements, 1112 01:07:12.679 --> 01:07:16.519 and annexation. Israel has never officially defined its borders. In 1113 01:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.960 nineteen forty eight, its first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion refused, 1114 01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:23.519 saying Israel would expand beyond partition once it built its strength. 1115 01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:27.159 Since then, every border Israel has ever drawn has been temporary. 1116 01:07:27.599 --> 01:07:29.320 Every expansion has been permanent. 1117 01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:35.280 Yeah, that's the bigger issue right there. And I think 1118 01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:40.559 when we look at this war, Israel always shooting whenever 1119 01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:43.199 they tried to. Trump might try to pull it back 1120 01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:45.199 and try to a ceasefire or something, try to find 1121 01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:49.440 an exit, but he can't because the Israelis start shooting things. 1122 01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:55.119 And the Israelis would love to provoke the Iranians and 1123 01:07:55.199 --> 01:07:58.760 attack them and have them follow through on their retaliatory 1124 01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:03.440 promise and destroy most of the Gulf States, that softens 1125 01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:07.639 them up, breaks them apart right for the conquest. That's 1126 01:08:07.679 --> 01:08:11.280 exactly what they're looking at. And when we look at 1127 01:08:11.280 --> 01:08:13.519 what Huckabee said in terms of this is the clip 1128 01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:14.800 I played earlier this week. 1129 01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:15.880 Have you seen this? 1130 01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:18.960 Abram's descendants are the ones who have the right to 1131 01:08:18.960 --> 01:08:19.560 have this land? 1132 01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:21.199 Correct? Yes? Okay? 1133 01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:23.920 Why don't we do genetic testing on everybody in the 1134 01:08:23.960 --> 01:08:26.520 land and find out who Abram's descendants are? It's really simple. 1135 01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:29.239 We've cracked the human genome. We can do that. Why 1136 01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:31.279 don't we do that? Would you be against doing that? 1137 01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:35.640 I I have no idea what that would prove? I mean, 1138 01:08:35.720 --> 01:08:36.720 maybe it would be what. 1139 01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:38.479 Do you mean, what would it would prove who Abram's 1140 01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:41.840 descendants are? And who has a right to lift here 1141 01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:44.560 and who doesn't according to the theology that you yourself 1142 01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:47.640 just explained. And so I'm very confused as to why 1143 01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:50.119 we don't do that. If you believe the theology that 1144 01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:51.760 you've just explained to me, would we do. 1145 01:08:51.720 --> 01:08:52.800 That all over the world? 1146 01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:55.560 Everybody is the only country in the world that you've 1147 01:08:55.600 --> 01:09:00.359 said has this covenant with God that this people have 1148 01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:02.479 a moral, illegal right to the land. 1149 01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:05.000 But there are people who may not have bloodlines but 1150 01:09:05.039 --> 01:09:07.880 who have converted to Judaism. Are they going to be 1151 01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:09.439 able to live here? You're going to kick them out? 1152 01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:13.000 By your standards, they can't live here. You just said no, 1153 01:09:13.159 --> 01:09:15.039 that they have a right to live here because God 1154 01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:18.399 gave them the land, because they're the sentence of Abram. 1155 01:09:18.039 --> 01:09:21.079 This of Abraham. But if they're the spiritual descendants of 1156 01:09:21.119 --> 01:09:26.079 Abraham and they've now decided that they're converting to Judaism, 1157 01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:28.359 then do they have a right to live in Israel? 1158 01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:31.199 Since you have since you began this conversation by asking me, 1159 01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:32.760 did I think they had a right to come here? 1160 01:09:32.920 --> 01:09:34.479 Yeah, that's my question was. 1161 01:09:35.479 --> 01:09:38.119 And I play that clip a second time because if 1162 01:09:38.119 --> 01:09:42.880 you're Christian, you need to understand how anti Christian. The 1163 01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:46.640 theology that I could be as selling is no one 1164 01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:50.119 comes to the Father. But by me said Christ, you 1165 01:09:50.199 --> 01:09:54.319 can become anyone. It's available to anybody to become a 1166 01:09:54.439 --> 01:09:57.640 child of God. It's available to anybody to be God's people. 1167 01:09:58.479 --> 01:10:01.239 It's those who follow him, those who trust him, those 1168 01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:05.079 who believe in him. That is the Christian doctrine. It's 1169 01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:08.640 not based on genealogy at all, and so it's kind 1170 01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:11.319 of interesting to hear Howckabee say that, Well, you know, 1171 01:10:11.359 --> 01:10:13.640 they can be God's chosen people if they just join, 1172 01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:18.279 if they start practicing the Jewish religion. Well, there's nothing 1173 01:10:18.319 --> 01:10:21.760 in the Jewish religion that even pretends to take away 1174 01:10:21.800 --> 01:10:25.439 people's transgressions or sins. For the last two thousand years 1175 01:10:25.960 --> 01:10:28.920 since the Temple was destroyed, they don't even go through 1176 01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:33.560 a process of animal sacrifice to take away sins. So 1177 01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:36.479 what are you telling these people? Why would Huckabee do this? 1178 01:10:37.359 --> 01:10:41.279 He has denied Christ, and he is denying Christ to 1179 01:10:41.359 --> 01:10:45.039 these people saying that, well, if they become a Jewish, 1180 01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:48.119 now they're God's chosen people, but not if they follow 1181 01:10:48.239 --> 01:10:53.119 Christ right, And so that is the key thing, folks. 1182 01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:57.880 They remove God, they remove Christ, they remove the good News, 1183 01:10:58.359 --> 01:11:02.039 and that's what we cannot allowed to have happened. This 1184 01:11:02.399 --> 01:11:05.640 is the issue of our day. And if we're going 1185 01:11:05.680 --> 01:11:09.680 to take a back seat to this kind of judaizing 1186 01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:13.359 that is being done through Huckabee, these people are going 1187 01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:15.960 to take everything away from us. As you see them 1188 01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:19.199 taking away our free speech, our free exercise, religion. There's 1189 01:11:19.239 --> 01:11:22.199 no telling where there's no endpoint to this. It's just 1190 01:11:22.239 --> 01:11:26.119 like this war with Iran for them, there's no endpoint 1191 01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:29.560 to this, and we need to be pointing to christ 1192 01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:34.359 not to some foreign political entity. You've got the quibbling 1193 01:11:34.399 --> 01:11:36.399 that is going on with everything from the people who 1194 01:11:36.399 --> 01:11:41.479 are reflexively supporting Israel all the time. Jennis Praeger rips 1195 01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:44.600 Tucker Carlson for saying his only loyalty is to the 1196 01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:47.640 American people. And he's there with a Daily Wire with 1197 01:11:47.720 --> 01:11:50.399 Jeremy Boring, who is the co founder of it, along with 1198 01:11:50.439 --> 01:11:53.079 Ben Shapiro, the Daily Wire, and the two of them 1199 01:11:53.239 --> 01:11:56.680 are talking about Tucker Carlson. They don't like anybody who 1200 01:11:56.720 --> 01:12:00.760 criticizes Israel. And he says, why would he say his 1201 01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:04.720 only loyalty is to this country? Why is that Christian? 1202 01:12:04.800 --> 01:12:07.800 He said, that's your only loyalty. I just don't get it. 1203 01:12:07.800 --> 01:12:10.479 It's a tribal based morality that I don't relate to. 1204 01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:13.199 And they're talking about He says, yeah, he's hired a 1205 01:12:13.239 --> 01:12:17.079 lot of Daily former Daily Wire employees and by all accounts, 1206 01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:19.079 they really like working for him. He shows a lot 1207 01:12:19.079 --> 01:12:21.920 of loyalty to them, so he's got other loyalties. Why 1208 01:12:21.920 --> 01:12:25.520 would he say his only loyalty is to America? Well, 1209 01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:30.520 he's talking about political loyalties, obviously, and we're looking at 1210 01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:34.560 situations where people have divided loyalties. You know, we got 1211 01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:38.600 people in Congress that are showing up in israelly military 1212 01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:43.640 uniforms to Congress. What does that say about your divided loyalty? 1213 01:12:43.960 --> 01:12:47.600 He says that Tucker's got some loyalty to his family, 1214 01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:50.479 one would assume, to his brother very publicly, very obviously, 1215 01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:54.720 and to some of these employees. He said, So it's 1216 01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:56.880 not only loyalty, and I don't know why it would 1217 01:12:56.920 --> 01:13:00.880 be good if it were his only loyalty, he said. 1218 01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:04.680 Brager went on to say, I'm not America first. I'm 1219 01:13:04.920 --> 01:13:08.359 morality first. What is good and then what is true? 1220 01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:13.520 Those are my first loyalties. Well, then I guess he 1221 01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:17.800 would oppose bb on Gaza, right, because what is being 1222 01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:21.439 done there is not moral. It's not good. The issue is, 1223 01:13:21.439 --> 01:13:26.800 he says, is it America first or is it America only? Well, 1224 01:13:26.840 --> 01:13:28.640 it's not either of those, and it shouldn't be that 1225 01:13:28.760 --> 01:13:33.199 for you and me either, right, it should be christ first. Right, 1226 01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:35.560 That's one of the things he said, Make America great again? 1227 01:13:35.600 --> 01:13:39.960 How about making America Christian again in terms of its 1228 01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:41.880 values and I'm not saying we want to establish a 1229 01:13:41.960 --> 01:13:44.760 state religion. That's the furthest thing that we should be 1230 01:13:44.840 --> 01:13:46.920 looking for. That's the problem I have with these people 1231 01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:51.479 like Pete Hegseth who are identify themselves as Christian nationalists. 1232 01:13:51.479 --> 01:13:55.680 That is a perversion of Christ. As Lance said, you know, 1233 01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:59.000 Minded is my kingdom, is not of this world. And 1234 01:13:59.119 --> 01:14:02.319 so yes, we should work for the peace of our country, 1235 01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:05.359 for the prosperity of our country. We should be focused 1236 01:14:05.399 --> 01:14:08.479 on that first. We should be focused on our family. 1237 01:14:08.920 --> 01:14:13.920 But what should come first is Christ. Christ is King 1238 01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:16.800 and should be king in our life. That is the 1239 01:14:16.880 --> 01:14:21.960 path to peace and to happiness. So, but it's not 1240 01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:23.800 allowed for us to say that. If you say that 1241 01:14:23.960 --> 01:14:26.920 Christ is king, they come after you, even though that 1242 01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:31.920 has been what Christians believe and attests to from millennia. 1243 01:14:32.399 --> 01:14:36.079 Now these people are coming after us and telling us 1244 01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:37.920 that we can't do that. Well, We're going to stop 1245 01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:40.079 at this point because I've got an interview coming up. 1246 01:14:40.399 --> 01:14:44.119 I've got the utter in chief of the New American 1247 01:14:44.279 --> 01:14:46.960 mister Benoit, and I'm very anxious to talk to him 1248 01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:51.000 about what he sees happening with this war as well 1249 01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:53.720 as with this country. And with America. First, we go 1250 01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:56.279 to take a quick break and we will be right back. 1251 01:14:56.359 --> 01:16:35.119 Stay with us, Liberty, It's your move. 1252 01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:39.399 And now the David Knight Show. 1253 01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:48.720 Elvis the Beatle and the Sweet Sounds of Motown. Find 1254 01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:52.439 them on the Oldies Channel at apsradio dot com. 1255 01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:56.680 Joining us now is Gary Benoy. He has been working 1256 01:16:56.800 --> 01:17:00.479 with The New American for nearly fifty years, is just 1257 01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:03.479 at the cusp of it. He is now the editor 1258 01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:05.920 in chief of the New America, the publication of the 1259 01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:08.520 John Birch Society. We're going to talk to him about 1260 01:17:08.520 --> 01:17:11.760 his book. I really like the title of this, the 1261 01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:16.560 John Birch Society, the Vanguard of the Americanist Cause. I 1262 01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:17.960 think that's a great way to put it, and I 1263 01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:20.520 think it's a good description of what they do. But 1264 01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:24.680 we're going to begin by talking about the constitutional issues 1265 01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:28.159 about declaring war since we're looking at this Iran war. 1266 01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:29.680 Thank you for joining us, Gary. 1267 01:17:29.800 --> 01:17:32.640 Oh, thank you, so happy be on your program, David. 1268 01:17:32.399 --> 01:17:34.119 Well, thank you. You know, we look at this, We've 1269 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:37.119 talked about so many different aspects. The number one issue 1270 01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:40.640 for me personally is the moral issue, but of course 1271 01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:43.840 there's practical issues involved with all of this. There's also 1272 01:17:44.520 --> 01:17:47.800 legal issues, which we're going to talk about. But the 1273 01:17:47.840 --> 01:17:51.079 only thing they seem to be interested in is lethal issues. 1274 01:17:51.800 --> 01:17:54.000 How many people can we kill? That's what we hear 1275 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:56.760 from feed Eggxeth all the time. He always wants to 1276 01:17:56.760 --> 01:18:01.039 talk about lethality, lethality, but it never talks about that 1277 01:18:01.159 --> 01:18:04.680 is there. So let's talk a little bit about the 1278 01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:09.119 Constitution and war because we've had a slight pushback from 1279 01:18:09.159 --> 01:18:12.479 the House and from the Senate on this, and of course, 1280 01:18:12.520 --> 01:18:15.600 with the War Powers Act, the President was supposed to 1281 01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:19.119 once they initiate acts of war against another country, they're 1282 01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:22.600 supposed to notify Congress within forty eight hours. So they 1283 01:18:22.600 --> 01:18:25.319 had Rubio go over and talk to the Gang of Eight, 1284 01:18:25.479 --> 01:18:28.119 a term which I cannot find in the Constitution. Maybe 1285 01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:30.520 you know it. Where it is in the Constitution, I 1286 01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:33.319 can't find it. And so he talks to the leaders 1287 01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:35.960 of the two different parties and a couple other people 1288 01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:40.359 and told them that we had been pushed into it 1289 01:18:40.399 --> 01:18:42.359 by Israel and that was the end of it. You know, 1290 01:18:42.399 --> 01:18:44.720 we don't have any more discussions. And there have been 1291 01:18:44.760 --> 01:18:46.479 bills that have been brought up in both the House 1292 01:18:46.560 --> 01:18:50.439 and the Senate to say that we want to have 1293 01:18:50.520 --> 01:18:53.199 a declaration of war before we continue with this. Those 1294 01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:55.520 have both been shut down. And according to the War 1295 01:18:55.600 --> 01:18:58.680 Powers Act, if there's not a declaration of war within 1296 01:18:59.479 --> 01:19:02.359 sixty days, the president would have to withdraw. But of 1297 01:19:02.359 --> 01:19:03.920 course that's not the way that it has worked for 1298 01:19:03.920 --> 01:19:04.920 the longest time, is it. 1299 01:19:06.279 --> 01:19:08.760 No, it's not. And actually you mentioned, David that you 1300 01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:12.079 could not find the Gang of Eight terminology in the Constitution. 1301 01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:16.800 But I can't not only find that, I also cannot 1302 01:19:16.840 --> 01:19:19.439 find the War Powers Act in the Constitution. That's right, 1303 01:19:20.000 --> 01:19:22.159 and the War Powers Act, of course, that was something 1304 01:19:22.199 --> 01:19:26.720 that was done during the Vietnam War era to try 1305 01:19:26.760 --> 01:19:29.520 to change things in the future where the president can 1306 01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:33.119 just not will nearly go to war and have that 1307 01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:37.640 war continue and escalated as long as he wants. But 1308 01:19:37.720 --> 01:19:41.239 even the War Powers Act, I would argue, is unconstitutional. 1309 01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:44.520 I would go back to the provisions and the Constitution itself, 1310 01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:48.439 and those provisions are very clearly warded, assume me warded, 1311 01:19:48.920 --> 01:19:52.600 and they assigned or the provisions assigned in the Constitution. 1312 01:19:52.720 --> 01:19:56.479 It's an Article one, section eight assign most war powers 1313 01:19:56.520 --> 01:20:01.760 to Congress, not to the president, specifically regarding the decision 1314 01:20:01.800 --> 01:20:05.800 whether or not to go to war. That is specifically Congress. 1315 01:20:06.119 --> 01:20:08.680 That is totally Congress. And the way it's word in 1316 01:20:08.720 --> 01:20:12.840 the Constitution is the congressional power to declare war. 1317 01:20:13.279 --> 01:20:13.720 That's right. 1318 01:20:13.760 --> 01:20:15.960 And you know, David, the only reason they use the 1319 01:20:16.479 --> 01:20:19.239 word declare as opposed to the word make is because 1320 01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:22.079 the funding fathers did recognize, well, my goodness, what if 1321 01:20:22.119 --> 01:20:24.920 the United States of America is subjected to a sudden 1322 01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:30.399 attack and we have you know, the troops coming into America, 1323 01:20:30.840 --> 01:20:33.800 and then the president would have to violate the Constitution 1324 01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:37.079 in order to save the country from that sudden attack. 1325 01:20:37.479 --> 01:20:40.720 That's the only reason why they made the word declare 1326 01:20:41.359 --> 01:20:42.800 rather than the word make. 1327 01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:44.880 That's right, and of course we need to be able 1328 01:20:44.920 --> 01:20:48.680 to declare our causes for this declare. What the end is? 1329 01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:50.760 The end goal? As many people said, if you don't 1330 01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:55.039 have a declared ending to your war, it's never going 1331 01:20:55.079 --> 01:20:57.920 to end, right, And so it just keeps going on 1332 01:20:57.920 --> 01:20:59.720 on because we don't have it. We got these moving 1333 01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:02.600 goals posts, and of course people get drawn into this 1334 01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:06.039 with a tit and tat. That happens with war always. 1335 01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:09.239 But you're absolutely right. Even the War Powers Act, of course, 1336 01:21:09.319 --> 01:21:12.399 is not there. I view that as kind of a 1337 01:21:12.479 --> 01:21:16.439 desperate act from Congress saying and we really mean it now. Exactly, 1338 01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:17.600 They don't really mean it now. 1339 01:21:19.279 --> 01:21:21.720 This is you know, how all of a sudden, all 1340 01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:26.640 these liberal Democrats have discovered the Constitution. Yeah, on this specific. 1341 01:21:26.159 --> 01:21:27.319 Thing, they are right. 1342 01:21:27.640 --> 01:21:29.399 The president should not act as a king. 1343 01:21:29.600 --> 01:21:30.039 That's right. 1344 01:21:30.119 --> 01:21:32.159 The president should not have the power of a king 1345 01:21:32.239 --> 01:21:35.199 to just have a war whenever he wants to. But 1346 01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:38.600 you know, I can't help thinking, in particular, when you 1347 01:21:38.640 --> 01:21:42.159 look at history, that if you head right now a 1348 01:21:42.279 --> 01:21:45.600 Democrat president rather than a Republican president, that all of 1349 01:21:45.640 --> 01:21:48.159 a sudden the Democrats would be taking the opposite position. 1350 01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:51.560 Oh, we know, they would absolutely would, yes. And of course, 1351 01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:53.680 when you look at the Senate, it was only forty 1352 01:21:53.720 --> 01:21:57.399 seven percent of the senators, along partisan lines pretty much, 1353 01:21:57.800 --> 01:22:02.439 that voted to stop this act of aggression, which is 1354 01:22:02.439 --> 01:22:05.000 really what this war is. And in the House side 1355 01:22:05.039 --> 01:22:08.720 it was slightly closer. It was forty nine percent saying 1356 01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:10.840 we need to stop this and fifty one percent saying 1357 01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:13.600 we don't care, do whatever you want. That is a 1358 01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:17.640 sad situation. You know, I look at this and I 1359 01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:20.039 think back to Mark Levin and his you know, a 1360 01:22:20.039 --> 01:22:22.840 lot of the people trying to put together a constitutional 1361 01:22:22.880 --> 01:22:26.760 convention to change the Constitution. And I know that the 1362 01:22:26.800 --> 01:22:30.239 John Birch Society has warned about the dangers of this significantly. 1363 01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:31.880 And I look at it and I say, well, if 1364 01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:34.239 we've got a bunch of people who are not interested 1365 01:22:34.239 --> 01:22:37.279 in following the constitution we've got, why would we allow 1366 01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:39.960 that gang of people to write a new constitution because 1367 01:22:39.960 --> 01:22:43.239 they won't even follow the rules that they've got right now? 1368 01:22:43.319 --> 01:22:45.720 Oh, I agree with you completely regarding that. 1369 01:22:46.079 --> 01:22:49.600 Yeah, so's we're in a bad situation right now, aren't we. 1370 01:22:49.720 --> 01:22:51.960 Yes, of course it is true that the funding Fathers 1371 01:22:52.359 --> 01:22:57.319 put into the Constitution a provision for having an Article 1372 01:22:57.520 --> 01:23:02.760 five convention. I would say that today would be the 1373 01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:06.680 worst possible time we could employ that, yes, because there's 1374 01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:09.479 so much of a lack of understanding on the part 1375 01:23:09.479 --> 01:23:12.560 of the people today. And you know, if you go 1376 01:23:12.640 --> 01:23:15.560 back to the Founding Fathers, you did have people of wisdom, 1377 01:23:15.600 --> 01:23:18.119 and they created the government large enough to protect our freedom, 1378 01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:21.920 but not so large that the government become a destroyer 1379 01:23:21.960 --> 01:23:25.000 of the freedom that was supposed to protect. And what 1380 01:23:25.039 --> 01:23:27.880 would happen today if we opened up a new convention? 1381 01:23:28.399 --> 01:23:30.720 I agree with that, yeah, and wouldn't be. 1382 01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:32.680 Just members of the John Bridges Society who would be there. 1383 01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:36.800 It'd be the people who don't care what's in the 1384 01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:39.680 Constitution and are going to do whatever they want. And 1385 01:23:39.840 --> 01:23:43.479 that'd be an incredibly dangerous thing. Speaking of which, one 1386 01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:45.640 of the things I just recently talked about, we have 1387 01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:49.560 some really scary moves being made in terms of artificial 1388 01:23:49.640 --> 01:23:54.279 intelligence and sweeping aside the Tenth Amendment to allow the 1389 01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:58.800 federal government to rush forward with this as really a 1390 01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:03.039 surveillance and speech control tool. And this has been introduced 1391 01:24:03.079 --> 01:24:05.000 by both the Congress as well as a White House. 1392 01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:07.159 And we've got a new bill that has come out 1393 01:24:07.279 --> 01:24:10.600 by Marshall Blackburn, who will probably be the next governor 1394 01:24:10.640 --> 01:24:14.039 of Tennessee, where I live, and she has utter contempt 1395 01:24:14.119 --> 01:24:17.520 for what she calls a patchwork of regulations. That really 1396 01:24:17.560 --> 01:24:20.399 is what the tenth Amendment is about, having the ability 1397 01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:23.680 for different states to have different regulations for various things. 1398 01:24:23.680 --> 01:24:26.760 But we know how from a practical standpoint, how that works. 1399 01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:29.439 They want to be able to pull everything together in 1400 01:24:29.600 --> 01:24:35.399 Washington so they can control the supposed regulatory body. The 1401 01:24:35.399 --> 01:24:37.800 regulatory capture that will result will allow them to do 1402 01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:41.560 whatever they wish. So it is a move to stop 1403 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:46.279 all regulation and to federalize all artificial intelligence. It's a 1404 01:24:46.439 --> 01:24:48.600 very very dangerous move I think that's happening. 1405 01:24:48.720 --> 01:24:51.319 Well, I agree completely. It is very very dangerous. And 1406 01:24:51.359 --> 01:24:56.560 of course the founding fathers recognize the corrupting influence of power. 1407 01:24:57.920 --> 01:25:01.760 So when they created the the federal government, they did 1408 01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:03.960 not want to put all the power of government into 1409 01:25:04.279 --> 01:25:06.840 a single part. And so what they did was they 1410 01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:09.479 defined a few powers that government could have on the 1411 01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:13.720 national level, and then they took those few specified powers 1412 01:25:14.159 --> 01:25:16.960 and they divided them among the three branches of government, 1413 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:20.279 the executive, the legislative, in the judicial. And then they 1414 01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:23.159 built in a brilliant system of checks and balances to 1415 01:25:23.239 --> 01:25:27.199 try to prevent power from being consolidated, let's say, in 1416 01:25:27.239 --> 01:25:31.600 the executive branch or into another branch, so the various 1417 01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:34.680 branches could check themselves. But then they took all other 1418 01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:36.720 powers of government, and of course this is where the 1419 01:25:36.920 --> 01:25:40.359 Tenth Amendment comes in, all other powers, and they reserve 1420 01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:42.439 them to the people and to the estates. 1421 01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:46.640 That's right, that's right. And so this is it's almost 1422 01:25:46.760 --> 01:25:47.880 like if you go back to the Lord of the 1423 01:25:47.960 --> 01:25:50.920 Rings analogy It's like they found this new ring of 1424 01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:54.760 power which is incredibly powerful of this artificial intelligence, the 1425 01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:57.399 ability to be able to go back and audit everybody 1426 01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:01.000 or everything and very fine detail, and to collate all 1427 01:26:01.039 --> 01:26:03.279 the information that they've been collecting on people for a 1428 01:26:03.359 --> 01:26:06.680 very long time. I remember over a decade ago talking 1429 01:26:06.720 --> 01:26:09.880 about the massive amounts of information that they were saving. 1430 01:26:09.920 --> 01:26:12.079 I had an interview with William Benny, who was global 1431 01:26:12.119 --> 01:26:14.560 technical head of the NSA, and he was saying, Yeah, 1432 01:26:14.560 --> 01:26:17.760 they're saving everything on everybody, and they're just waiting until 1433 01:26:17.760 --> 01:26:20.760 they've got the computer power to go back and organize 1434 01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:22.840 all this stuff and collate it. That's where we are 1435 01:26:22.920 --> 01:26:24.920 right now. It's a very very dangerous thing. When I 1436 01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:27.520 look at the powers that are being put into a 1437 01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:31.399 police surveillance state. It truly is stunning to see what 1438 01:26:31.399 --> 01:26:34.640 they're doing. And it is the ultimate consolidation of power, 1439 01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:36.119 isn't it sure. 1440 01:26:35.960 --> 01:26:37.520 And so much of it is being done in the 1441 01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:42.000 name of what is often called conservatism or call law 1442 01:26:42.079 --> 01:26:46.119 and order. Obviously, we believe that our rights should be protected. 1443 01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:49.319 That's the purpose of a government, but we don't want 1444 01:26:49.359 --> 01:26:50.720 to take it to the point where we have a 1445 01:26:50.760 --> 01:26:54.119 police state, because a government big enough to do everything 1446 01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:57.279 that you'd wanted to do protection everything else, is big 1447 01:26:57.359 --> 01:27:00.680 enough to take away from you everything you have. Desponding 1448 01:27:00.720 --> 01:27:04.920 fathers imagine was that law enforcement, that that would belong 1449 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:07.279 to the states and to local communities. And the idea, 1450 01:27:07.319 --> 01:27:09.439 of course, if you have any pen and police departments, 1451 01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:14.319 that those departments would be beholden to the communities that 1452 01:27:14.399 --> 01:27:18.239 they protect and serve. But then you take those powers 1453 01:27:18.279 --> 01:27:21.039 and you transfer them into the hands of the national 1454 01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:25.000 government and create a national police state. What happens is 1455 01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:28.479 then those police are beholden to the central government in Washington, 1456 01:27:28.800 --> 01:27:31.119 and that's not what we want. But the thing is, 1457 01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:34.359 conspirators for global control, they don't come right out and say, well, 1458 01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:36.560 gae we want to enslave you. We want to have 1459 01:27:36.640 --> 01:27:40.319 complete and absolute power. So those they say things like, well, 1460 01:27:40.319 --> 01:27:44.479 we need these powers in order to fight illegal immigration, 1461 01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:47.520 or we need these powers in order to fight crime, 1462 01:27:47.960 --> 01:27:50.640 or in order to fight terrorism. And certainly we need 1463 01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:55.680 to fight terrorism, we need to fight the criminal element 1464 01:27:55.760 --> 01:27:59.239 and whatnot, but let's not use that as a pretext 1465 01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:02.039 in order to consolidate all power into the hands of 1466 01:28:02.079 --> 01:28:04.520 the government. Because of that happens, then what happens is 1467 01:28:04.560 --> 01:28:06.560 the government becomes a criminal government. 1468 01:28:06.760 --> 01:28:07.199 That's right. 1469 01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:09.319 We've seen it happen so many times. We've seen it 1470 01:28:09.359 --> 01:28:12.880 happen with Nazi Germany. We've seen it happen with the 1471 01:28:12.920 --> 01:28:16.079 Soviet Union and whatnot. And you know, a good lesson 1472 01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:18.840 to remember in history is that the German people were 1473 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:24.119 beguiled into voting themselves into slavery. They voted the Hitler's 1474 01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:28.279 National Socialist Power Party, which is all called also what 1475 01:28:28.359 --> 01:28:31.479 is called the Nazi Party, into power, and they were 1476 01:28:31.479 --> 01:28:37.119 told that Hitler would make Germany great again and prosperous 1477 01:28:37.199 --> 01:28:40.479 and whatnot. But of course he deliberate tyranny instead. 1478 01:28:41.279 --> 01:28:42.880 I've had a lot of people get very angry with 1479 01:28:42.920 --> 01:28:46.880 me because I say, yeah, it's uh, I agree with 1480 01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:50.079 the immigration stuff, but let's make sure that we're going 1481 01:28:50.159 --> 01:28:52.359 to have a police force that is going to follow 1482 01:28:52.439 --> 01:28:54.000 the law, that's not going to be a law under 1483 01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:57.520 themselves with absolute immunity, I said, because then they become 1484 01:28:57.600 --> 01:29:01.359 the most dangerous threat to us. And that's really the case. 1485 01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:02.880 But a lot of people say, well, no, no, no, 1486 01:29:03.079 --> 01:29:05.920 we want to have we have this particular problem that 1487 01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:09.439 we perceive, and of course, always the solution that is 1488 01:29:09.479 --> 01:29:13.000 given to you. Is since they've got one giant hammer 1489 01:29:13.039 --> 01:29:15.920 coming out of Washington, they perceive everything as a nail, 1490 01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:19.520 and so we want to give carte blanc to the 1491 01:29:19.520 --> 01:29:22.079 federal police force to do whatever they wish. I said, 1492 01:29:22.119 --> 01:29:24.159 that is the most dangerous thing we could have, and 1493 01:29:24.199 --> 01:29:25.640 when we look at it, we can put on the 1494 01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:30.399 list in terms of excuses for getting rid of any 1495 01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:34.439 protections against excessive use of force. We could put on there. 1496 01:29:34.640 --> 01:29:39.079 What we saw during COVID, the public health issue, and 1497 01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:43.039 I think we talk about conspiracies. I guess it's just 1498 01:29:43.079 --> 01:29:46.119 a coincidence that all of the governments around the world 1499 01:29:46.119 --> 01:29:49.279 are basically doing the same nonsensical stuff at the same time, right, 1500 01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:51.760 exactly the same things, you know. 1501 01:29:52.359 --> 01:29:56.439 But COVID, I would say, or specifically the COVID policies, 1502 01:29:57.079 --> 01:29:59.319 those were a wake up call to a lot of people. 1503 01:29:59.640 --> 01:30:00.800 Yeah, yeah, they've. 1504 01:30:00.800 --> 01:30:03.840 Killed a lot of Americans because who could have imagined 1505 01:30:03.960 --> 01:30:06.239 until then, Well, I guess a few of us could, 1506 01:30:06.279 --> 01:30:10.079 but very few people could have imagined until the COVID policies, 1507 01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:13.680 the lockdowns, the mandates were put in place that those 1508 01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:15.840 things could happen in the United States of America. I mean, 1509 01:30:15.880 --> 01:30:17.000 who could have imagined before two. 1510 01:30:17.680 --> 01:30:21.039 Yeah, not even me. And I was very cynical about that. 1511 01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:24.279 I was absolutely just shaking my heads, like why isn't 1512 01:30:24.279 --> 01:30:26.560 anybody having a problem with this. I mean, they've moved 1513 01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:29.319 the overton windows so far that they defenestrated the Bill 1514 01:30:29.319 --> 01:30:30.119 of Rights. You know. 1515 01:30:31.359 --> 01:30:33.880 The good news is, though, I think that those policies 1516 01:30:33.880 --> 01:30:36.920 were put in place again today, I think a lot 1517 01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:38.960 more people would not go along with it, don't you. 1518 01:30:39.359 --> 01:30:42.159 I hope not. But you know, there hasn't been any 1519 01:30:42.319 --> 01:30:45.479 penalty paid by these people. And usually if they admit 1520 01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:47.840 that they did something wrong, they said, well, I'm sorry, 1521 01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:49.840 we'll do it quicker next time, and we'll do it 1522 01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:52.039 more thoroughly. That seems to be the comeback that we 1523 01:30:52.079 --> 01:30:56.199 see from these commissions of Inquiry that are in different countries. 1524 01:30:56.239 --> 01:30:59.359 They come back, if they'll admit any wrongdoing, they'll say, yeah, 1525 01:30:59.399 --> 01:31:01.560 the problem is we didn't do enough, and we didn't 1526 01:31:01.560 --> 01:31:03.520 do it early enough, and we'll do better next time. 1527 01:31:04.159 --> 01:31:06.319 That's not the message that I get from all that 1528 01:31:06.439 --> 01:31:07.319 at all. Yeah. 1529 01:31:07.359 --> 01:31:09.439 Absolutely, it had a testable loaning to see how far 1530 01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:09.920 they could go. 1531 01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:12.239 Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, and they moved that over to 1532 01:31:12.239 --> 01:31:15.640 the window didn't they truly is amazing. Well, let's talk 1533 01:31:15.640 --> 01:31:18.039 a little bit about your book and about the history 1534 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:19.920 of the John Birth Society, because I think it's a 1535 01:31:20.000 --> 01:31:23.680 very fascinating history. I first heard of the John Birch 1536 01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:27.119 Society as it was being attacked as this crank a 1537 01:31:27.239 --> 01:31:30.680 conspiracy theorist group out there by William F. Buckley. I 1538 01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:33.079 eventually figured out where William F. Bucket was coming from 1539 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:36.560 and eventually figured out what the John Bird Society was about. 1540 01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:38.479 But that was when I was in college and I 1541 01:31:38.520 --> 01:31:41.720 heard the other viewpoint. Talk a little bit about the 1542 01:31:41.720 --> 01:31:44.800 founding of the John Birch Society and the resistance that 1543 01:31:44.880 --> 01:31:47.680 you've had from mainstream media in a lot of different quarters, 1544 01:31:47.680 --> 01:31:50.000 including conservative quarters. 1545 01:31:50.399 --> 01:31:53.279 Okay, called the John Ver Society was founded in nineteen 1546 01:31:53.479 --> 01:31:57.640 fifty eight, and of course, at the time the country 1547 01:31:57.720 --> 01:32:02.079 was viewed as very anti munists. You know, we believe 1548 01:32:02.079 --> 01:32:04.960 in the Constitution and whatnot. But in nineteen fifty eight, 1549 01:32:05.039 --> 01:32:08.000 the founder of the General Birch Society, Robert Welch, who 1550 01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:12.800 was a businessman, but he was warning that communism really 1551 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:17.119 is a problem, not just externally but also internally, and 1552 01:32:17.199 --> 01:32:20.720 so he founded this organization to stop the communism, and 1553 01:32:20.920 --> 01:32:24.680 specifically the way they call it a communist conspiracy. Of course, 1554 01:32:24.720 --> 01:32:26.520 as time went on, and it didn't take a lot 1555 01:32:26.560 --> 01:32:29.520 of time, but he connected the dots too to show 1556 01:32:29.560 --> 01:32:32.359 that the people working for more government leading to world 1557 01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:37.880 government in this country and elsewhere included not just communists, 1558 01:32:37.880 --> 01:32:42.880 but included the powerful elitists who wanted to basically bring 1559 01:32:42.920 --> 01:32:46.439 about the same thing. And so he blew the whistle. 1560 01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:49.279 He said that we would have more and more government 1561 01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:52.159 in this country, leading the total government. He said the 1562 01:32:52.199 --> 01:32:55.520 in that Nations was a world government trap. He said 1563 01:32:55.560 --> 01:33:00.720 he would have inflation because we would destroy the currency 1564 01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:04.720 over time by printing more and more on back dollars 1565 01:33:04.760 --> 01:33:09.000 in order to finance the growing government deficits. And basically 1566 01:33:09.000 --> 01:33:11.079 what he was saying back in nineteen fifty eight is 1567 01:33:11.119 --> 01:33:13.840 exactly what we've seen happen over the years. But back 1568 01:33:13.880 --> 01:33:17.399 at that time, people's scoff because they said it was ridiculous. 1569 01:33:18.039 --> 01:33:20.800 You know, for example, what the ADAD Nations was portrayed 1570 01:33:20.880 --> 01:33:24.199 at the time is mankind's less best hope for peace. 1571 01:33:25.079 --> 01:33:29.800 Can you imagine calling it a communist inspired organization? 1572 01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:32.479 And I remember the way it was true. 1573 01:33:32.600 --> 01:33:35.880 We were crazy to imagine a communist threat. Well, today, 1574 01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:38.640 look at all the young people who probably both well, yeah, 1575 01:33:38.800 --> 01:33:42.279 I believe in communism. I believe in socialism. But Robert 1576 01:33:42.279 --> 01:33:45.279 Welch blew the whistle, and he realized that in order 1577 01:33:45.319 --> 01:33:48.840 to solve the problem, in order to expose this conspiracy, 1578 01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:52.159 because it is a solution exposed in the conspiracy, you 1579 01:33:52.159 --> 01:33:54.720 could not just just do it through elections. You cannot 1580 01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:58.399 just do it by running a good candidate, because ultimately 1581 01:33:58.439 --> 01:34:01.760 the kind of government we have would be determined by 1582 01:34:01.760 --> 01:34:04.640 the understanding of the American people themselves, and the American 1583 01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:07.079 people run informed, they would make good decisions in the 1584 01:34:07.159 --> 01:34:10.439 voting booth. And then politicians who would not abide by 1585 01:34:10.439 --> 01:34:14.560 the people, insisting that they abide by their oath of office, 1586 01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:19.319 those politicians would get voted out of office by an 1587 01:34:19.319 --> 01:34:23.119 informed electorate. And of course others would see where the 1588 01:34:23.159 --> 01:34:26.399 political wins are going and that they would vote better 1589 01:34:26.720 --> 01:34:30.720 when they got elected. So that was the solution that 1590 01:34:31.039 --> 01:34:33.600 Rubel Welch advocated. And he realized too that no one 1591 01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:36.600 person could save our freedoms. It had been done, would 1592 01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:38.720 have to be done by an informed electorate. It had 1593 01:34:38.760 --> 01:34:41.159 to be done by the American people themselves, and so 1594 01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:45.479 he created chapters throughout the country where people in their 1595 01:34:45.479 --> 01:34:48.920 own congressional districts, in their own communities could bring about 1596 01:34:48.920 --> 01:34:52.600 this great awakening. And I honestly believe because I've been 1597 01:34:52.640 --> 01:34:55.239 a member of the John versus I since nineteen sixty eight, 1598 01:34:55.399 --> 01:34:58.159 since I was a teenager. It came on the staff 1599 01:34:58.159 --> 01:35:02.760 in nineteen seventy seven. But I believe that because of 1600 01:35:02.760 --> 01:35:06.359 what the John Birch Society has done, specifically the members 1601 01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:09.199 of the John Birch Society and their allies over so 1602 01:35:09.319 --> 01:35:12.640 many years, that we would not have our freedoms today 1603 01:35:13.039 --> 01:35:13.800 if it was not. 1604 01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:14.479 For what we've done. 1605 01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:18.239 So I feel like, my great we know back, you know, 1606 01:35:18.319 --> 01:35:20.520 the forces that want to bring about world government and 1607 01:35:20.560 --> 01:35:24.520 Catel trainanism. We have bought time so that today, in 1608 01:35:24.520 --> 01:35:27.239 twenty twenty six, we can still use our freedoms to 1609 01:35:27.279 --> 01:35:29.640 save our freedoms. And that's why my book, by the way, 1610 01:35:29.760 --> 01:35:33.000 is called the Vanguard of the American Cause, because we've 1611 01:35:33.039 --> 01:35:34.920 really been in the forefront of this fight. 1612 01:35:35.640 --> 01:35:39.880 I agree. Yeah, I remember the support your Local Sheriff thing, 1613 01:35:39.960 --> 01:35:44.920 which became a meme and actually James Gardner with that title, 1614 01:35:45.600 --> 01:35:47.840 and so that was and I kind of scratched my head. 1615 01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:49.800 I thought, you know, what are they talking about. Eventually 1616 01:35:49.840 --> 01:35:54.079 figured out the dangers of a centralized federal police force, 1617 01:35:54.119 --> 01:35:57.000 militarized police force, which is what I think they're in 1618 01:35:57.000 --> 01:36:00.279 the process of trying to create right now. And I 1619 01:36:00.319 --> 01:36:02.920 think now more than ever, we need to revive that 1620 01:36:02.960 --> 01:36:08.159 support your local sheriff thing and to have locally elected people. 1621 01:36:08.439 --> 01:36:12.199 It's not perfect. We get bad sheriffs, many different cases 1622 01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:15.199 like that, but again that is you've got a better 1623 01:36:15.359 --> 01:36:19.199 chance of having a say so at the local election 1624 01:36:19.600 --> 01:36:21.800 than you do at a federal election where we have 1625 01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:25.039 basically no control whatsoever. It was interesting the back and 1626 01:36:25.079 --> 01:36:27.920 forth I think of George Soros and Elon musk As. 1627 01:36:28.079 --> 01:36:30.159 Elon must said, well, you know, George Soros has got 1628 01:36:30.159 --> 01:36:34.159 this right when he gets these district attorneys in or 1629 01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:37.239 the state attorneys general, that he gives them a good 1630 01:36:37.239 --> 01:36:42.079 bit of money and they can actually swamp their opponent 1631 01:36:42.239 --> 01:36:43.880 in terms of spending, and he goes he gets a 1632 01:36:43.920 --> 01:36:46.159 lot more bang for his buck, and of course the 1633 01:36:46.239 --> 01:36:49.640 voters do as well. The more local the election, the 1634 01:36:49.640 --> 01:36:51.920 more bang for the buck you get in terms of 1635 01:36:51.960 --> 01:36:54.880 either your vote or your contribution that you make. It 1636 01:36:54.920 --> 01:36:58.279 gets very, very deluded and distant when you're talking about Washington, 1637 01:36:58.319 --> 01:36:59.640 and that's one of the reasons why we need to 1638 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:03.399 stop looking to Washington for every single solution. To me, 1639 01:37:03.840 --> 01:37:05.760 that is one of the biggest things that's changed in 1640 01:37:05.800 --> 01:37:08.279 my lifetime. We used to joke about, well, don't make 1641 01:37:08.319 --> 01:37:10.399 a federal case out of it. Everything is made a 1642 01:37:10.399 --> 01:37:13.840 federal case out of today, including with conservatives, And we 1643 01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:16.119 used to say, you know, it's a free country, isn't it. 1644 01:37:16.600 --> 01:37:20.000 We don't say that anymore, though, we don't. Nobody sees 1645 01:37:20.039 --> 01:37:22.840 it as a free country because we have the federal 1646 01:37:22.840 --> 01:37:26.680 government that is micromanaging every single aspect of our life, 1647 01:37:26.720 --> 01:37:28.000 and that is the real danger. 1648 01:37:28.039 --> 01:37:30.680 I think I agree completely, And of course a lot 1649 01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:34.119 of people really don't understand what freedom is. You know, 1650 01:37:34.159 --> 01:37:38.119 freedom is the ability to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. 1651 01:37:38.119 --> 01:37:42.359 It's the ability where government is limited and it's all 1652 01:37:42.479 --> 01:37:45.479 your way so that you can fulfill your dreams. So 1653 01:37:45.920 --> 01:37:48.119 if you want to buy a home, you have the 1654 01:37:48.159 --> 01:37:50.239 ability to do that because you have the ability to 1655 01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:52.399 keep the fruits of your own labor. 1656 01:37:53.560 --> 01:37:54.079 You had the. 1657 01:37:54.039 --> 01:37:59.159 Ability to innovate, you have the ability to build a 1658 01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:03.800 small business, which is increasingly being stifled today because of 1659 01:38:03.840 --> 01:38:06.359 all the government regulations. Because of that place at the 1660 01:38:06.479 --> 01:38:10.439 end of people we think of as capitalists are super capitalists, 1661 01:38:11.000 --> 01:38:13.520 but they actually use the fact that you have all 1662 01:38:13.560 --> 01:38:15.640 these regulations and they use the power of government and 1663 01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:19.640 government favoritism to favor them at the expense of the 1664 01:38:20.000 --> 01:38:23.079 little guy, including the little business. 1665 01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:24.000 Right. 1666 01:38:24.159 --> 01:38:26.159 So we have to go back to that. We have 1667 01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:30.439 to get back to that wonderful system that caused America 1668 01:38:30.479 --> 01:38:37.119 to become the greatest example of liberty in the history 1669 01:38:37.159 --> 01:38:37.640 of the world. 1670 01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:40.079 That's right, And you know when we look at it, 1671 01:38:40.079 --> 01:38:42.720 it's even at the local level. We see that a 1672 01:38:42.720 --> 01:38:44.800 lot of the regulations for a save and something as 1673 01:38:44.800 --> 01:38:46.760 simple as a restaurant, right, because it's one of the 1674 01:38:46.800 --> 01:38:50.439 few things that's left open to entrepreneurship in a sense. 1675 01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:52.920 I mean, it's getting more and more difficult with the 1676 01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:55.239 supply chain disruptions that we had in twenty twenty and 1677 01:38:55.279 --> 01:38:56.800 the ones that are coming along now as well as 1678 01:38:56.800 --> 01:39:00.840 inflation and with other regulations, that's even becoming most impossible. 1679 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:03.960 But that was one of the few avenues that were 1680 01:39:04.039 --> 01:39:07.520 left to people, and you would see that a lot 1681 01:39:07.560 --> 01:39:09.560 of the regulations that were coming down the line for 1682 01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:12.760 restaurants opening up were things that were not essential, that 1683 01:39:12.840 --> 01:39:15.920 had absolutely nothing to do with health issues. They were 1684 01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:19.840 there to stifle competition, and so that truly is what 1685 01:39:19.880 --> 01:39:22.560 we see happening everywhere. And again going back to a 1686 01:39:22.600 --> 01:39:26.920 lot of these regulations of artificial intelligence and even digital 1687 01:39:26.960 --> 01:39:29.319 ID and the way that they are applying these things. 1688 01:39:29.359 --> 01:39:33.680 We see the government coming after three D printer manufacturers 1689 01:39:33.720 --> 01:39:37.920 putting onerous regulations on them to essentially censor or spy 1690 01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:40.239 on their users as a manufacturer, and if you don't 1691 01:39:40.239 --> 01:39:41.880 do it, they're going to shut you down. We see 1692 01:39:41.880 --> 01:39:45.600 the same thing happening now even with software, with operating systems, 1693 01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:48.800 things like Unix that they're going to be coming after 1694 01:39:49.520 --> 01:39:52.880 because they don't you know, anything that is open source 1695 01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:56.079 or that is a new startup is going to be 1696 01:39:56.079 --> 01:39:58.720 shut down by these onerous regulations. They're going to make 1697 01:39:58.760 --> 01:40:01.239 it so difficult to get arted that people aren't going 1698 01:40:01.239 --> 01:40:03.640 to start and a lot of small businesses have even 1699 01:40:03.800 --> 01:40:06.199 signaled that they're going to have to shut down if 1700 01:40:06.239 --> 01:40:10.439 these Internet regulations and these regulations that are designed to 1701 01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:15.800 outlaw all privacy run through. Let's talk a little bit 1702 01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:19.920 about where this real conspiracy of communism is coming from. 1703 01:40:19.920 --> 01:40:21.880 I had somebody at an event that I was speaking 1704 01:40:21.920 --> 01:40:25.399 at came up to me afterwards and he said, you know, 1705 01:40:26.319 --> 01:40:28.680 they've they've taken over every one of the institutions. How 1706 01:40:28.720 --> 01:40:30.600 the world did this ever happen? I said, well, you know, 1707 01:40:30.640 --> 01:40:32.920 there was a plan. It was called marching through the 1708 01:40:32.960 --> 01:40:36.760 institutions Gramcy and others. And they have executed that plan 1709 01:40:36.800 --> 01:40:37.760 pretty well, haven't they. 1710 01:40:37.880 --> 01:40:39.800 You know, I think that was from Gramsey, wasn't it 1711 01:40:39.920 --> 01:40:44.000 used that exact phrase, marched through the institutions. And of 1712 01:40:44.000 --> 01:40:48.319 course he was a communist strategist, and the point that 1713 01:40:48.399 --> 01:40:51.479 he made is that, at least for an advanced country 1714 01:40:52.039 --> 01:40:55.319 such as the United States, that the old fashioned frontal 1715 01:40:55.359 --> 01:40:59.239 assault is not going to work because people will say, well, gee, 1716 01:40:59.279 --> 01:41:01.159 I don't want to become slave. You know, I believe 1717 01:41:01.199 --> 01:41:04.159 in freedom, I believe in the great heritage that we have. 1718 01:41:04.279 --> 01:41:06.199 And so how do they do it? They do it 1719 01:41:06.640 --> 01:41:09.920 step by step. If you look at this country as 1720 01:41:09.920 --> 01:41:13.119 to how it came about, well. 1721 01:41:13.159 --> 01:41:13.640 I'll start it. 1722 01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:16.640 I would say almost after we got the constitution, that 1723 01:41:16.720 --> 01:41:20.359 patient gradualism. But let's pick a date where I think 1724 01:41:20.399 --> 01:41:23.359 it became very obvious, and that was in nineteen thirteen, 1725 01:41:24.399 --> 01:41:28.319 because in nineteen thirteen, three huge things happened in this 1726 01:41:28.399 --> 01:41:31.279 country that were hammer blows to the republic. 1727 01:41:31.520 --> 01:41:31.840 Yes. 1728 01:41:32.319 --> 01:41:36.399 One of them was the establishment of a heavy progressive 1729 01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:40.560 income tax, and that actually was a plank right out 1730 01:41:40.560 --> 01:41:43.640 of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx in eighteen forty eight. 1731 01:41:44.399 --> 01:41:47.359 So you could say that we moved in the communist 1732 01:41:47.399 --> 01:41:49.640 direction at least beginning in nineteen thirteen. 1733 01:41:50.439 --> 01:41:53.560 So don't get angry at the IRS on April fifteenth, 1734 01:41:54.000 --> 01:41:56.359 on April, sorry, don't get mad at the IRS as 1735 01:41:56.439 --> 01:41:58.840 much as you get mad as mad at the communists 1736 01:41:58.840 --> 01:42:03.800 who basically brought that to it the day Anti Communist Day, 1737 01:42:03.800 --> 01:42:04.640 April fifteenth. 1738 01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:08.720 Yep, yeah, it is coming up up pretty fast. But 1739 01:42:08.880 --> 01:42:12.560 we got the progressive income tax in nineteen thirteen. Again, 1740 01:42:12.600 --> 01:42:14.840 that was one of ten steps and the Communist Manifesto 1741 01:42:14.920 --> 01:42:18.520 that Carl Mark cited for communizing an advanced country in particular. 1742 01:42:19.760 --> 01:42:23.800 Another step was the creation of a central bank. We 1743 01:42:23.840 --> 01:42:26.479 got that in nineteen thirteen in the form of the 1744 01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:31.399 Federal Reserve System. That is a central bank and controls 1745 01:42:31.720 --> 01:42:36.880 money and credit in order to you know, monetize federal 1746 01:42:36.920 --> 01:42:38.760 debt and you know a lot of people think that 1747 01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:42.800 when taxes are cut officially says is Trump cutting taxes, Well, ja, 1748 01:42:43.000 --> 01:42:46.159 that means the government burden has been reduced. That's only 1749 01:42:46.239 --> 01:42:51.560 true if the government also cuts its spinning. Because taxes 1750 01:42:51.600 --> 01:42:53.880 and allows spinning to go up, you have a larger 1751 01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:56.640 and larger deficit. That's how we got these trian dellar 1752 01:42:57.880 --> 01:43:01.319 deficits that we've been experiencing recently. And when the government 1753 01:43:01.439 --> 01:43:05.600 monetizes that, or excuse me, the Federal Reserve monetizes that. 1754 01:43:06.760 --> 01:43:08.960 What the Federal Reserve is doing is they're pumping new 1755 01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:13.600 money into the economy, and so all those new dollars, 1756 01:43:13.640 --> 01:43:15.840 it's just like a monopoly game. All those new dollars 1757 01:43:16.159 --> 01:43:19.199 the values the dollars that are already in the economy, 1758 01:43:19.640 --> 01:43:23.600 and that causes prices to go up. So you could 1759 01:43:23.600 --> 01:43:26.479 call that an inflation tax. But anyway, the Central Bank 1760 01:43:27.079 --> 01:43:30.000 out of the communist manifesto, we got that in nineteen 1761 01:43:30.039 --> 01:43:33.279 thirteen as well. So you could say in nineteen thirteen, 1762 01:43:33.720 --> 01:43:36.399 out of these ten steps or ten planks, we got 1763 01:43:36.399 --> 01:43:38.520 two of them. You could say is at that point 1764 01:43:38.560 --> 01:43:41.840 the United States of America was already twenty percent communize. 1765 01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:43.840 And the third thing I want to mention that happened 1766 01:43:43.880 --> 01:43:49.000 in nineteen thirteen was the direct election of senators, and 1767 01:43:49.159 --> 01:43:51.159 a lot of people think, well, gee, isn't that a 1768 01:43:51.159 --> 01:43:54.039 good thing, because we don't we want the people to 1769 01:43:54.199 --> 01:43:58.640 elect our senators. But what was overlooked was the fact that, well, gee, 1770 01:43:58.640 --> 01:44:01.680 we're already doing that form of the people were electing 1771 01:44:02.079 --> 01:44:05.239 to the House of Representatives. And the whole concept of 1772 01:44:05.279 --> 01:44:09.479 the funding filos that having two houses composing Congress, both 1773 01:44:09.520 --> 01:44:12.479 the House Representatives and the Senate, was that a bill 1774 01:44:12.520 --> 01:44:16.359 cannot become law unless it was passed by both the 1775 01:44:16.399 --> 01:44:22.680 House representative representatives representing the people and the Senate representing 1776 01:44:22.720 --> 01:44:27.279 the states. Right now, the states do not have senators 1777 01:44:27.359 --> 01:44:30.720 representing them in Congress, and so it makes it much 1778 01:44:30.800 --> 01:44:34.000 easier to your serve power from the states and transfer 1779 01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:36.640 that power into the hands of the federal government. 1780 01:44:36.840 --> 01:44:40.840 That's right, Yeah, people don't understand that division of power 1781 01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:43.680 that was there. That's what that representative wasn't taking away 1782 01:44:43.800 --> 01:44:46.600 your representation, as you point out, And that's why people 1783 01:44:46.600 --> 01:44:50.359 don't understand the tenth Amendment, because that was really about 1784 01:44:50.520 --> 01:44:54.119 the power that's been delegated specifically by the people or 1785 01:44:54.159 --> 01:44:58.800 by the states, and so they broke that you're talking 1786 01:44:58.800 --> 01:45:02.760 about the reducing taxes without reducing spending. That was one 1787 01:45:02.800 --> 01:45:05.119 of my issues with the Tea Party. I thought they 1788 01:45:05.199 --> 01:45:07.600 really didn't understand what they were talking about because they 1789 01:45:07.640 --> 01:45:09.319 didn't have a priority. You know, they said the Tea 1790 01:45:09.319 --> 01:45:11.880 Party was taxed enough already. But I'd say, if you 1791 01:45:11.920 --> 01:45:18.039 don't cut the spending, you should say we're indebted enough already. Absolutely, 1792 01:45:18.079 --> 01:45:19.760 In fact, I've ever talked about that side of it. 1793 01:45:20.079 --> 01:45:24.680 So the obviously taxes should be cut, but over the 1794 01:45:24.680 --> 01:45:29.039 long termament, it's not going to help unless we lower 1795 01:45:29.199 --> 01:45:33.119 taxes through less government. And of course they needed that 1796 01:45:33.199 --> 01:45:34.760 is to get government back to the constitution. 1797 01:45:34.960 --> 01:45:37.119 That's right. The way I look at the John Birch 1798 01:45:37.199 --> 01:45:41.479 Society is very important the educational aspect of this, because 1799 01:45:41.520 --> 01:45:43.840 another one of the planks of the Communist Party, I 1800 01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:48.760 think was the compulsory government funded education, and that's really 1801 01:45:48.760 --> 01:45:50.920 what has gotten us there to a large degree, and 1802 01:45:51.199 --> 01:45:55.760 I think that it is very important that people understand 1803 01:45:56.279 --> 01:45:58.039 what has really happened to get the perspective that the 1804 01:45:58.079 --> 01:46:01.399 John Birch Society is out there as account to the 1805 01:46:01.439 --> 01:46:04.960 government schools telling their one sided story of this. 1806 01:46:06.680 --> 01:46:08.600 Right and of course, I would say that the government 1807 01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:12.840 schools were designed in the beginning to become what they 1808 01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:16.920 have become today. And because a lot of people would say, well, gee, 1809 01:46:16.960 --> 01:46:19.000 we need to reform the government schools, Well, the only 1810 01:46:19.039 --> 01:46:21.279 way to reform it is to get rid of the 1811 01:46:21.279 --> 01:46:24.239 government schools and to go back to private education. Yes, 1812 01:46:24.720 --> 01:46:26.520 and that was the education that we had in this 1813 01:46:26.600 --> 01:46:30.680 country prior to the advent of the government school system 1814 01:46:30.760 --> 01:46:32.600 in the nineteenth century. 1815 01:46:32.800 --> 01:46:35.079 That's right. Yeah, when you look at it, pretty much 1816 01:46:35.119 --> 01:46:38.039 everybody was homeschooled and maybe they'd have a little bit 1817 01:46:38.039 --> 01:46:40.760 of private schooling. I have talked over and over again 1818 01:46:40.800 --> 01:46:46.520 about the Wright brothers versus Langley and how he was 1819 01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:49.079 the establishment guy and he had all the credentials and 1820 01:46:49.079 --> 01:46:51.319 he was out of the Smithsonian. Jada had a couple 1821 01:46:51.359 --> 01:46:54.039 of homeschool bicycle mechanics who beat him to the punch, right, 1822 01:46:54.439 --> 01:46:58.239 And so it was a really good illustration, something that 1823 01:46:58.800 --> 01:47:02.840 always stuck with me after I saw it, And I 1824 01:47:02.840 --> 01:47:05.439 think that's the key. You know, there was a tremendous 1825 01:47:05.479 --> 01:47:10.159 amount of a very hypercentage of literacy at the time 1826 01:47:10.199 --> 01:47:12.399 that America has created. And of course you have a 1827 01:47:12.439 --> 01:47:15.840 book like Thomas Paine's common sense. Everybody is reading it 1828 01:47:15.880 --> 01:47:20.119 and they're thinking about the political theories behind it and discussing. 1829 01:47:19.720 --> 01:47:22.239 That too, and so for them it was common sense. 1830 01:47:22.600 --> 01:47:25.000 But how many people would understand that book today? 1831 01:47:26.119 --> 01:47:28.600 That's right? Yeah, maybe we should have a two undred 1832 01:47:28.520 --> 01:47:29.680 and fiftieth anniversary of that. 1833 01:47:31.039 --> 01:47:33.960 Anyway, the solution of the government school problem is first 1834 01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:36.279 of all, to get the federal garment out of education, 1835 01:47:36.800 --> 01:47:40.319 because the federal Garment does not have any constitutional authority 1836 01:47:40.359 --> 01:47:44.279 to be involved. But even on the state level, my recommendation, 1837 01:47:44.359 --> 01:47:47.159 and the recommendation of the John Birch Society, even at 1838 01:47:47.199 --> 01:47:49.800 that level, would be for the states to get our 1839 01:47:49.960 --> 01:47:53.560 education as well and allow it to be handled privately. 1840 01:47:53.960 --> 01:47:57.359 I agree absolutely. The churches too, Yes. 1841 01:47:57.840 --> 01:48:01.000 You know, isn't it wonderful to you know, have a 1842 01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:02.640 church school for example. 1843 01:48:02.239 --> 01:48:04.560 M hm hm. And we have seen that, you know, 1844 01:48:04.640 --> 01:48:08.399 private charity and the actions of churches and that type 1845 01:48:08.439 --> 01:48:11.079 of thing. That was something that was so ingrained in 1846 01:48:11.119 --> 01:48:14.960 American society, as Alexis to people talked about it, and 1847 01:48:15.039 --> 01:48:18.199 yet that is basically withered and died. It isn't to 1848 01:48:18.239 --> 01:48:21.039 say that it can't be restored, but there has to 1849 01:48:21.039 --> 01:48:22.960 be a desire to do that as it is. Right now, 1850 01:48:23.279 --> 01:48:25.279 everybody just figures, well, I gave it the irs, and 1851 01:48:25.279 --> 01:48:27.600 I don't really have to I don't have to worry 1852 01:48:27.600 --> 01:48:28.479 about that. 1853 01:48:28.479 --> 01:48:31.760 That's a really good point. They've already given through Uncle Sam. 1854 01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:34.159 They gave Uncle Sam the money and Uncle Sam's taking 1855 01:48:34.159 --> 01:48:36.479 care of it. But one problem with that Uncle Sam 1856 01:48:36.520 --> 01:48:38.439 taking care of it is what we saw happened very 1857 01:48:38.479 --> 01:48:41.079 recently in Minneapolis. 1858 01:48:41.079 --> 01:48:42.520 Wouldn't you say that's right. 1859 01:48:42.439 --> 01:48:46.439 Because you know who's who's mining the store, so to speak, 1860 01:48:46.439 --> 01:48:49.439 and so look at all the fraud and abuse. That's right, 1861 01:48:49.560 --> 01:48:52.960 And that's an argument I think for the fact that 1862 01:48:53.039 --> 01:48:56.720 you really cannot solve the problem of the social welfare 1863 01:48:56.840 --> 01:49:01.880 system by making it efficient. I know, Mussolini, you know, 1864 01:49:01.920 --> 01:49:04.800 the fascist Mussolini during World War Two, promised that he 1865 01:49:04.840 --> 01:49:11.760 would make Italian socialism efficient to make run into trains 1866 01:49:11.800 --> 01:49:14.840 running time. And it doesn't work that way. So you know, 1867 01:49:14.880 --> 01:49:16.640 obviously we're going to have all this waste as long 1868 01:49:16.680 --> 01:49:19.000 as the garment's involved. So you got to get the 1869 01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:22.960 garment out of it, in particular the federal garment, because 1870 01:49:22.960 --> 01:49:24.520 the federal government is not going to have as much 1871 01:49:24.520 --> 01:49:26.800 of an understanding of What is really needed on the 1872 01:49:26.840 --> 01:49:29.640 local level is the people on the local level. It's 1873 01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:33.199 that simple. So a state government providing welfare will be 1874 01:49:33.199 --> 01:49:36.920 better than a national garment. A local community providing welfare 1875 01:49:36.960 --> 01:49:39.520 would be better than the state government. But the ideal 1876 01:49:39.600 --> 01:49:42.640 course will get back to a system where friends and 1877 01:49:42.680 --> 01:49:44.279 neighbors were taking care of themselves. 1878 01:49:44.479 --> 01:49:48.039 That's right, absolutely, yeah. Once you get those long lines, 1879 01:49:48.079 --> 01:49:50.800 that is very easy to long lines of control. It's 1880 01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:53.720 very easy to subvert that, as we saw with Minneapolis. 1881 01:49:54.359 --> 01:49:57.319 That is one of the practical aspects of it. But 1882 01:49:57.359 --> 01:49:59.399 the other aspect of it, I guess it has been lost. 1883 01:49:59.439 --> 01:50:02.760 And I think part of the moral degradation of our 1884 01:50:02.800 --> 01:50:05.039 society is that people. You know, so much of the 1885 01:50:05.119 --> 01:50:07.319 charity was running through the churches, that it was based 1886 01:50:07.319 --> 01:50:11.159 on religion and people. Once you practice that, you start 1887 01:50:11.199 --> 01:50:14.319 to realize that it is better to give than to receive, 1888 01:50:14.680 --> 01:50:17.279 you know, and there is a pleasure in helping other 1889 01:50:17.359 --> 01:50:19.920 people that we completely miss out on. That's one of 1890 01:50:19.960 --> 01:50:22.680 the worst aspects of the welfare state, I think, is 1891 01:50:22.760 --> 01:50:24.640 breaking that connection. And that's one of the things that 1892 01:50:24.720 --> 01:50:28.279 we see happening right now, especially with COVID. It seems 1893 01:50:28.319 --> 01:50:34.840 to be the primary focus of the technocracy is to 1894 01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:38.800 break that human human contact. Government does that a great deal, 1895 01:50:38.840 --> 01:50:41.720 but the technology is focusing on that even more and 1896 01:50:41.920 --> 01:50:45.840 is splitting us off from that. So we are disconnected. Yeah, 1897 01:50:45.920 --> 01:50:49.960 we're disconnected, we're atomized. We're isolated as individuals, and that's 1898 01:50:50.119 --> 01:50:53.199 a very dangerous thing and it shuts off so many 1899 01:50:53.199 --> 01:50:56.880 wonderful things from all of us, doesn't it. Let's talk 1900 01:50:56.920 --> 01:50:59.760 a little bit about how we get back from this. 1901 01:51:00.119 --> 01:51:02.359 When you have the John Birch Society, do they meet 1902 01:51:02.439 --> 01:51:07.960 and local meetings on a regular basis? Okay, So tell 1903 01:51:08.000 --> 01:51:11.319 a little bit about that. Okay, tell so bit about 1904 01:51:11.359 --> 01:51:12.960 that and how that's organized. 1905 01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:16.239 Well, first of all, I would encourage people to go 1906 01:51:16.319 --> 01:51:20.920 to JBS dot org JBS for the John Birch Society 1907 01:51:20.960 --> 01:51:23.760 and find out more about it. But again, the whole 1908 01:51:23.800 --> 01:51:28.159 idea is that we can't rely on a national mailing house. 1909 01:51:28.159 --> 01:51:31.319 We can't rely on a particular politician to save our country. 1910 01:51:31.399 --> 01:51:33.239 We've got to wake the town and tell the people 1911 01:51:33.239 --> 01:51:36.640 and get them involved. And that happens better. It happens 1912 01:51:36.640 --> 01:51:39.079 a lot better when you get synergy going. So when 1913 01:51:39.079 --> 01:51:43.000 you have people actually meeting together and working together, and 1914 01:51:43.079 --> 01:51:46.279 people comparing no, so to speak, you can get a 1915 01:51:46.319 --> 01:51:49.039 lot more done than the people are working in a vacuum. 1916 01:51:49.039 --> 01:51:51.840 And of course another part of the two is you 1917 01:51:51.880 --> 01:51:56.239 can focus on certain projects. For example, a project of 1918 01:51:56.319 --> 01:52:00.319 the John Birch Society going back today, one basically running 1919 01:52:00.399 --> 01:52:02.680 right up to the present, has been to get us 1920 01:52:02.720 --> 01:52:07.000 out of the United Nations. Yes, recognizing that that was 1921 01:52:07.039 --> 01:52:09.439 intended and still is intended, I believe to be the 1922 01:52:09.479 --> 01:52:14.760 seat of an emergent, emerging new world order. 1923 01:52:15.039 --> 01:52:15.479 I agree. 1924 01:52:15.680 --> 01:52:18.159 Yeah, people get together. They can do things like putting 1925 01:52:18.279 --> 01:52:21.600 up a billboard in their community. They can do things 1926 01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:25.560 like distributing literature house to house and whatnot, and to 1927 01:52:25.720 --> 01:52:29.039 compare notes, and you know it helps create the synergy. 1928 01:52:29.520 --> 01:52:31.760 Well, I agree, yes, And you know, when we look 1929 01:52:31.760 --> 01:52:34.800 at it again, the solutions are local, and so you 1930 01:52:34.840 --> 01:52:37.079 need to make those connections locally. And when you talk 1931 01:52:37.119 --> 01:52:40.560 about the UN, everybody's looking at all these attacks on 1932 01:52:40.640 --> 01:52:44.000 the family and the attacks on children in terms of 1933 01:52:44.039 --> 01:52:47.279 the transgender issues and things like that. That all flows 1934 01:52:47.720 --> 01:52:50.039 from the UN, from the UN's Convention on the Rights 1935 01:52:50.039 --> 01:52:52.279 of the Child, and the only country that hasn't bought 1936 01:52:52.319 --> 01:52:55.520 into that formally is the United States. And I say formally, 1937 01:52:55.600 --> 01:52:59.199 because from a practical standpoint, our state and local and 1938 01:52:59.199 --> 01:53:02.319 federal government, as well as a judiciary, have all bought 1939 01:53:02.359 --> 01:53:05.680 into the premises of the UN Convention on the Rights 1940 01:53:05.680 --> 01:53:08.399 of the Child. If you say that a child has rights, 1941 01:53:08.880 --> 01:53:12.479 that is in direct competition to the idea of parental rights. 1942 01:53:12.920 --> 01:53:17.720 And that is a device, a scheme, a fiction that's 1943 01:53:17.760 --> 01:53:20.319 created by the UN, propagated by the UN in order 1944 01:53:20.359 --> 01:53:23.000 to break up families in order to separate the sound. 1945 01:53:23.720 --> 01:53:25.800 But the whole idea on the part of the conspirators 1946 01:53:25.800 --> 01:53:28.439 for global control, and where as that concludes the people 1947 01:53:28.479 --> 01:53:33.000 who operate the United Nations is that they see themselves 1948 01:53:33.000 --> 01:53:36.199 of the family. They see the government as the family right. 1949 01:53:36.720 --> 01:53:41.600 They see the family the real family that actually, under 1950 01:53:41.720 --> 01:53:45.399 God's plan is the fundamental unit of civilization. They see 1951 01:53:45.439 --> 01:53:48.680 that as the competing loyalty to them. They want total 1952 01:53:48.800 --> 01:53:50.800 loyalty to be devoted to the state. 1953 01:53:51.199 --> 01:53:54.159 And that is a very hallmark of communism, isn't it. 1954 01:53:54.319 --> 01:53:57.039 Of course, as Hillary is that takes a village aspect 1955 01:53:57.239 --> 01:54:00.960 of that, and so it really is important for us 1956 01:54:01.079 --> 01:54:05.520 organize at the local level. And the New American is 1957 01:54:05.560 --> 01:54:08.279 the publication that you are editor in chief of and 1958 01:54:08.319 --> 01:54:11.760 that is the publication of the John Birch Society that 1959 01:54:13.039 --> 01:54:16.760 gives you an overview of what is happening nationally and internationally. 1960 01:54:17.119 --> 01:54:19.520 You're going to get the local information, and that's the 1961 01:54:19.720 --> 01:54:21.920 kitender's the things that I can't really cover on a 1962 01:54:21.960 --> 01:54:24.880 regular basis. That's why you need to have something like 1963 01:54:24.920 --> 01:54:27.439 the John Birch Society, because that's going to give you 1964 01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:30.279 a handle on what's happening in your local area. There's 1965 01:54:30.319 --> 01:54:34.039 so many different local offices that nobody can really report 1966 01:54:34.079 --> 01:54:36.399 on that. I mean, we can cover something bad that's 1967 01:54:36.399 --> 01:54:38.920 happening at the state level from time to time, but 1968 01:54:39.840 --> 01:54:42.680 what is happening right there in your community. A good 1969 01:54:42.680 --> 01:54:45.399 example of this are the flock cameras that are springing 1970 01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:49.159 up everywhere, and people don't really understand what that is. 1971 01:54:49.239 --> 01:54:52.399 They understand how these things are flocking together, and they're 1972 01:54:52.920 --> 01:54:57.239 a massive informant network once people find out about it. 1973 01:54:57.239 --> 01:54:59.760 We've had some communities that have said get those things 1974 01:54:59.760 --> 01:55:02.600 out of here, but you have to have people informed 1975 01:55:02.600 --> 01:55:05.279 at the local level, and so it's very important to 1976 01:55:05.319 --> 01:55:07.479 have some kind of an organization like that, and the 1977 01:55:07.600 --> 01:55:09.840 John Vers Society is there, has been there for quite 1978 01:55:09.840 --> 01:55:13.239 some time. It's always great talking to people from the 1979 01:55:13.279 --> 01:55:16.680 John Birch Society. I've interviewed Alex Newman on education issues 1980 01:55:16.720 --> 01:55:21.279 and climate change issues many many times, and it's always 1981 01:55:21.319 --> 01:55:23.720 great having people. Thank you for joining us, Gary and 1982 01:55:23.840 --> 01:55:24.600 your book. 1983 01:55:24.359 --> 01:55:26.840 To be able to David and I believe this is 1984 01:55:26.960 --> 01:55:28.039 my first time in your program. 1985 01:55:28.159 --> 01:55:31.319 Yes it is.

Thank you so much, Gary Benoit, thank you 1995 01:55:55.600 --> 01:55:58.520 so much, the editor in chief of the New American 1996 01:55:59.399 --> 01:56:16.560 American Dot. Thank you the common man. They created common 1997 01:56:16.640 --> 01:56:19.840 Core and dumbed down our children. They created common Past 1998 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:23.680 to track and control us. They're Commons project to make 1999 01:56:23.720 --> 01:56:29.880 sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They 2000 01:56:29.880 --> 01:56:34.840 see the common man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary, but each 2001 01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:38.279 of us has worth and dignity, created in the image 2002 01:56:38.319 --> 01:56:43.359 of God. That is what we have in common. That 2003 01:56:43.439 --> 01:56:46.279 is what they want to take away. Their most powerful 2004 01:56:46.319 --> 01:56:52.079 weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything 2005 01:56:52.239 --> 01:56:56.600 about us, while they hide everything from us. It's time 2006 01:56:56.640 --> 01:56:59.800 to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. 2007 01:57:01.079 --> 01:57:03.800 Please share the information and links you'll find at the 2008 01:57:03.960 --> 01:57:07.880 Davidnightshow dot com.
