Speaker 1: You're a world of deceit. Telling the truth is a
Speaker 1: revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.
Speaker 2: As the clock strikes thirteen, it is Wednesday, the fourteenth
Speaker 2: of May, year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. Today
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about Nissan looking to reduce its
Speaker 2: workforce and what I think might be the cause. Then war,
Speaker 2: what is it good for? Well, apparently testing out your
Speaker 2: shiny new death machine and more.
Speaker 3: Stay with us.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, folks, and thank you for joining us.
Speaker 2: And I just want to again thank you all for
Speaker 2: keeping my dad in your prayers. It was another rough
Speaker 2: night last night, as I'm sure any one of you
Speaker 2: who has been to the hospital knows that it is
Speaker 2: a rough situation. There's people constantly in and out. The
Speaker 2: beds aren't very comfortable, You're full of needles and ivs
Speaker 2: and all kinds of things. They're always doing tests. So
Speaker 2: please just keep him in your prayers that he would
Speaker 2: be able to get some rest and that he would
Speaker 2: be at peace. It has been a struggle, but yes,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your prayers. He is slowly improving,
Speaker 2: but he is still in a bad place and it
Speaker 2: is very hard for him. Right now. It's as someone
Speaker 2: who is so independent and doesn't like to have people
Speaker 2: telling him what to do. This is probably one of
Speaker 2: the hardest things you can imagine for him. But he
Speaker 2: is healing, and we know in the end it is
Speaker 2: because God answers prayer and that he is in control
Speaker 2: of all these things. So thank you all so much
Speaker 2: for the continued prayer, and please just continue to pray
Speaker 2: for him. It means so much to us to know
Speaker 2: that you care so deeply about him. We have a
Speaker 2: comment already from nad Lander says Dave is awesome. Been
Speaker 2: with him since AJ stopped watching Jones when he fired David.
Speaker 2: He's done a lot and thank you. I'm trying my
Speaker 2: best to hold down the fort. I know that I
Speaker 2: am a pale imitation of the caliber of information provider
Speaker 2: shall we say that my dad is, But I will
Speaker 2: do my best to give you something useful today. So
Speaker 2: thank you all again so much. And yeah, let's get
Speaker 2: into the news. I really got to start using that
Speaker 2: pad that my dad has. I keep meaning to, but
Speaker 2: time keeps getting away from me and then I don't
Speaker 2: get the time to set it up. But I want
Speaker 2: to start with this Our article from zero hedge, freight fraud,
Speaker 2: cargo theft, deadly collisions, ghost carriers are growing national security threat.
Speaker 2: And this article goes in to talk about another immigrant
Speaker 2: who crashed a truck. And this is becoming more of
Speaker 2: a problem as we begin to hire more and more
Speaker 2: people that do not have the skills necessary for these jobs,
Speaker 2: and driving freight around is not something you want to
Speaker 2: entrust to someone that does not have the skill for it.
Speaker 2: These trucks are extremely large and heavy, and we've already
Speaker 2: seen just this year too very very horrific collisions. The
Speaker 2: one in Austin on I thirty five was terrible. On Tuesday,
Speaker 2: May six, another in pattern in a pattern of horrific
Speaker 2: crashes involving eighteen wheelers in America. It took place, this
Speaker 2: time the small town of Thomasville, Alabama, about one hundred
Speaker 2: miles north of Mobile. In a video that went viral
Speaker 2: earlier this week, we see attractor trailer driven full speed
Speaker 2: into stopped traffic at an intersection, almost as if on purpose.
Speaker 2: Cars appears to be vaporized in the crash or flung
Speaker 2: aside as if toys. Two innocent motists were killed instantly
Speaker 2: and four others sent to the hospital again. These a
Speaker 2: tractor trailer is an immense piece of machinery. It will
Speaker 2: absolutely destroy a car that is in a collision with it.
Speaker 1: We have for the love of the road.
Speaker 2: He drives freight, and you know he is a very intelligent,
Speaker 2: very serious person, and that is the type of person
Speaker 2: I think that should be in charge of these things.
Speaker 2: This is not a job for someone that cannot take
Speaker 2: it seriously, cannot pay attention.
Speaker 4: Or follow the rules of the road.
Speaker 2: These are incredibly dangerous pieces of machinery that are on
Speaker 2: the road with things much much smaller than them. You're
Speaker 2: not going to survive a collision with a tractor trailer.
Speaker 2: The driver of the semi, Andri Di dim Terko, Yeah, Dimterko,
Speaker 2: forty five, is arrested in charge with two counts of
Speaker 2: vehicular manslaughter. Is notable about dom Tererko's that he's in
Speaker 2: the United States from Ukraine on a work visa. There's
Speaker 2: some hard questions to be asked about the trucking company
Speaker 2: he worked called for called for US transportation company whose
Speaker 2: address was registered to a pizza joint in Darien, Illinois.
Speaker 2: I guess that's what he was delivering. A tractor trailer
Speaker 2: full of pizzas you know, there's just I guess there
Speaker 2: comes a time where you need twenty thousand pounds of
Speaker 2: pizza all at once. And in this article we have
Speaker 2: this tweet from George McGill, Mina and Vladder running a
Speaker 2: ghost carrier out of a Dunkin Donuts in Chicago, Land
Speaker 2: and the Ukrainian Independent Servant Andri is the guy who
Speaker 2: wiped out those people in Alabama yesterday. Be a shame
Speaker 2: if you gave them a warm American welcome and let
Speaker 2: them know your thoughts. Hey well posted some information there
Speaker 2: a relative wife of a fort US Freight Company CEO
Speaker 2: video truck dispatcher, a profession that has become popular in
Speaker 2: the Balkans in recent years when due to the reduction
Speaker 2: of costs of our company in America the alternative to
Speaker 2: workforce mister overseas, how much does the average dispatcher earning
Speaker 2: the Balkans working for a based in the USA. That's right,
Speaker 2: we're even outsourcing our dispatching to different countries. And there
Speaker 2: comes a time where you have to do things in
Speaker 2: house that the cost of doing business is just the
Speaker 2: cost of doing business, or you begin to lose quality.
Speaker 2: And now we are beginning to lose lives because of
Speaker 2: the people that we have put into these jobs. If
Speaker 2: this incident sounds familiar, that is because back in March thirteenth,
Speaker 2: in Austin, Texas, a truck driver named Solomon well del
Speaker 2: Kiel Araya crashed his truck into park traffic on Interstate
Speaker 2: thirty five, killing five people, killing an entire family, and
Speaker 2: sending another eleven to a hospital. It was a horrific crash.
Speaker 2: It makes me much more nervous every time we drive
Speaker 2: down to Texas. At this point, we spend some time
Speaker 2: on I thirty five, and every time I'm on that road,
Speaker 2: my adrenaline is much higher than it used to be.
Speaker 2: Now thirty five has never been a good road, but
Speaker 2: it has gotten worse over the year, and now knowing
Speaker 2: that these types of people are behind the wheel has
Speaker 2: made it even worse. So I think next time we
Speaker 2: drive down, we're going to skip I thirty five and
Speaker 2: take perhaps a more securitist route. I prefer the back
Speaker 2: roads anyway. Mister Ariyah reportedly did not slow down, and
Speaker 2: his rig didn't stop until it had smashed into seventeen vehicles.
Speaker 2: Mister Ariah, originally from Ethiopia was likewise in America on
Speaker 2: a work visa and in this incident, was working for
Speaker 2: a subcontractor hauling products for Amazon. And just like the
Speaker 2: company mister Dimtierco was working for, they are likewise registered
Speaker 2: to a very random address, this time an apartment complex
Speaker 2: in Dallas, Texas. These people are setting up ghost shops,
Speaker 2: They're registering in any place they can and hiring people
Speaker 2: that will.
Speaker 4: Work for cheap.
Speaker 2: Every sort of job that you can imagine has basically
Speaker 2: been turned into some kind of hustle where the only
Speaker 2: objective is to make as much money as quickly as
Speaker 2: you can.
Speaker 3: And the.
Speaker 2: Quality is suffering, and the American people are now suffering
Speaker 2: because of it. We are being slowly, solely devolved as
Speaker 2: a country and as a people. Over and above the
Speaker 2: epidemic of fatal collisions taking place on American roads involving
Speaker 2: big rigs driven by in sourced labor of dubious training,
Speaker 2: I think dubious might be under selling it just slightly
Speaker 2: language proficiency or competence. These same types of companies are
Speaker 2: involved in other major issues such as freight fraud and
Speaker 2: cargo theft. The new term for these companies is ghost carriers.
Speaker 2: Given that, contrary to regulations, they are often registered at
Speaker 2: addresses that are not their primary place of business and
Speaker 2: where you would never see the trucks that they direct.
Speaker 2: The amount of fraud and theft they are often involved
Speaker 2: with has gotten so out of hand that even the
Speaker 2: mainstream media is starting to notice. When you actually force
Speaker 2: the mainstream media to sit up and take notice and
Speaker 2: report on something, you know it has reached epidemic proportions,
Speaker 2: they do not like to admit that there is any
Speaker 2: wrongdoing by any of their protected subgroups. And once you
Speaker 2: and to get them to cover it is truly a feat.
Speaker 2: Got some more comments. Whistler says he can play the
Speaker 2: video from the article, so let's actually go ahead and
Speaker 2: take a look at that. He needs one second first,
Speaker 2: We got DG eight. Thank you so much for the tip.
Speaker 1: DG.
Speaker 2: God bless you and your family. Prayers for David. Yes,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for the prayers. That is truly
Speaker 2: what matters most. Again, God is in control of everything.
Speaker 2: He has my dad in his hands, and we are
Speaker 2: praying so fervently every day, and we are so thankful
Speaker 2: that you are as well. It is what matters most,
Speaker 2: and we cannot thank you.
Speaker 4: Enough, and.
Speaker 2: Yes it is. We cannot wait to have him back
Speaker 2: with us, and I know you can't wait either. When
Speaker 2: a company registers with a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
Speaker 2: or FMCSA and must list its principal place of business
Speaker 2: a real physical location where safety and fiber records are kept,
Speaker 2: where federal inspectors can conduct on site reviews, it's a
Speaker 2: red flag, said Dale Prax, who owns freight Validate, a
Speaker 2: company that tracks fraud and identity theft in the trucking industry.
Speaker 2: Pract said, hidden carriers often use virtual addresses or pobox
Speaker 2: to avoid scrutiny. They cain harder for regulators to keep
Speaker 2: tabs on them.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: If they don't know where to find you, they can't
Speaker 2: validate and check that you are who you say you are,
Speaker 2: or that the people you're hiring are of a quality
Speaker 2: that we can trust. Behind the wheel, the bad guys
Speaker 2: are less app to register properly. Pract said, that is true,
Speaker 2: as we can see here. We have living Oh, we
Speaker 2: have proof of it. He pointed to one example, a
Speaker 2: quiet office in Signal Hill, California. There's a sign out
Speaker 2: front that says no trucks allowed yet federal records show
Speaker 2: nearly seven hundred truck companies linked to at single location,
Speaker 2: roughly five hundred of which lists the same phone number
Speaker 2: and email. All right, if we can play the video.
Speaker 2: Let's play the video. Well that was ye, that's what happens.
Speaker 2: These trucks are forces of nature when compared to the
Speaker 2: other vehicles on the road. How difficult is it for
Speaker 2: investigators looking at these crashes when so many of these
Speaker 2: companies are owned through layers of LLCs. Anywhere you go,
Speaker 2: anything you are involved with in the United States now
Speaker 2: is just covered in layers of bureaucracy. It makes everything
Speaker 2: extremely difficult and exceedingly tiresome to deal with. And it
Speaker 2: has reached a point where they can't even keep track
Speaker 2: of the companies since they have created such a maze
Speaker 2: of paperwork, many of them registered to random locations all
Speaker 2: over the country where their trucks will never actually stop.
Speaker 2: How many of these companies are taking advantage of a
Speaker 2: decade's old lie about a shortage of truckers to then
Speaker 2: insource labor, often using companies based in Eastern Europe. Speaking
Speaker 2: of that Balkan Truckers website in the incident Alabama, it
Speaker 2: seems that the lady who manages that website is a
Speaker 2: relative or possibly the wife the owner of the truck
Speaker 2: that killed those people. She has some interesting possible connections
Speaker 2: to Armenian politics. We must have further investigation into this
Speaker 2: ecosystem of brokers, recruiters, agents and other parasites who are
Speaker 2: operating out of Eastern Europe. Yes, it seems as though
Speaker 2: many other countries see the United States as nothing but
Speaker 2: a piggybank for them to rob. They will employ any
Speaker 2: shady business tactic that they can. If they're not directly
Speaker 2: involved with siphoning money from the US government through some
Speaker 2: kind of scheme, as Ukraine was with Zelenski, then they
Speaker 2: will set up shop here in the United States, ignore
Speaker 2: the laws that the Americans have to deal with, and
Speaker 2: use that to their advantage. They will avoid paying as
Speaker 2: much tax as possible, and if they get caught, they
Speaker 2: just scurry back off to whatever their country they're from,
Speaker 2: or they go underground and come back up with a
Speaker 2: new identity. These people are just here to rob the
Speaker 2: United States. They are not interested in a better life.
Speaker 2: They are not interested in the American dream. And if
Speaker 2: they are interested in an American dream, it's what has
Speaker 2: been sold over the last few years in the sense
Speaker 2: of get rich, get rich quick, do it, however you
Speaker 2: need to, not the American dream of have a family,
Speaker 2: grow close to God, enjoy liberty. That is what the
Speaker 2: American dream truly was. It was about having a strong,
Speaker 2: faithful community, being able to protect your family.
Speaker 3: That's what it was.
Speaker 2: It was never this purely economic, materialistic worldview of I'm
Speaker 2: going to get as much as I can for myself
Speaker 2: and whatever happens to you anyone else, well, that's their problem.
Speaker 2: Got some more comments Talent. Thank you g Talent for
Speaker 2: the tip that is very kind, and thank you for
Speaker 2: the kind words. I appreciate you all for being so
Speaker 2: lenient with me and so willing to accept the job
Speaker 2: that I'm doing. I really do appreciate it. Honor Seeker,
Speaker 2: ive propraye in bob tail and not even pulling a trailer.
Speaker 2: But one has to be sober, alert on his toes
Speaker 2: at all times. I can imagine. I do not feel
Speaker 2: that I would be qualified to drive a truck. I
Speaker 2: am a little bit too spacey for something like that.
Speaker 2: I would never trust myself behind the wheel of something
Speaker 2: of that magnitude. I do not think that I could
Speaker 2: handle the responsibility. I think it takes a very alert
Speaker 2: individual to manage that, and I could. I just couldn't
Speaker 2: handle that responsibility. I would not want that on my
Speaker 2: conscience where I to have a lapse and the sheer
Speaker 2: damage that you can inflict and the tragedy that you
Speaker 2: can cause, it is something that we need, you know, competent,
Speaker 2: intelligent people on It is not just a job you
Speaker 2: can outsource and throw to anyone. Have ratus, bro, You
Speaker 2: should be nervous. There's so many semi accidents around it. Yes,
Speaker 2: it is more and more common. We have this article
Speaker 2: here as proof of these two horrific ones. But I
Speaker 2: imagine that if these are the ones that are bad
Speaker 2: enough to get mainstream news media coverage, that there are
Speaker 2: a lot more that don't end up making it, you know,
Speaker 2: the ones that don't end in massive death, but perhaps
Speaker 2: are still you know, tragedies for those involved. It takes
Speaker 2: a horror to make it to national media at this point,
Speaker 2: Knights of the Storm. I've seen several fatal big rig
Speaker 2: recks this year, and I don't even travel much anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're becoming, as we said, more and more common. It's a.
Speaker 2: It's a jungle out there, folks. It is getting worse
Speaker 2: and worse every day as we import more and more
Speaker 2: people to do more and more things for us. And again,
Speaker 2: Knights of the Storm is Jason Barker. You can find
Speaker 2: them at Nights of Thestorm dot com. You find out
Speaker 2: they have a schedule for all the shows that are
Speaker 2: that we know of that are friendly and of like mind,
Speaker 2: so please go check out Nights to the Storm. Jason
Speaker 2: does a fantastic job. Karen Carpenter, Angry Tiger, They're all
Speaker 2: fantastic hosts. They all have their own shows and you
Speaker 2: should check them all out.
Speaker 4: They do great, great work.
Speaker 2: They are such a blessing as well being able to
Speaker 2: host the show. It was a very very very kind
Speaker 2: of them to take over on such short notice, so
Speaker 2: we thank them for that. So thank you, Jason, really
Speaker 2: appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Star Barkley.
Speaker 2: We're turning into China, the land of shortcuts and facades. Yes,
Speaker 2: we're not quite at that level yet, but it is
Speaker 2: rapidly approaching. China has four years put on a front
Speaker 2: for the media so that they can pretend to be
Speaker 2: more I don't know, robust in any area that they
Speaker 2: can I've seen many, many videos of buildings or dams
Speaker 2: or things just crumbling because of the materials that were
Speaker 2: used in construction. They and again, it's so hard to
Speaker 2: tell what's real and what's not. Coming out of China,
Speaker 2: there's so many influencers there that simply put out any
Speaker 2: sort of content and they use that to generate revenue
Speaker 2: as well. But I saw one video where someone broke
Speaker 2: open will I think it was a bridge and inside
Speaker 2: was corn cobs mixed in with whatever they had used
Speaker 2: to manufacture it. That one I'm a little bit skeptical of.
Speaker 2: I have a hard time believing that they would do
Speaker 2: something that asinine. But it is China. If they need
Speaker 2: a bridge built and it's a bridge to nowhere and
Speaker 2: they know no one's going to be over it and
Speaker 2: it's just for you know, show, then who knows what
Speaker 2: they might do? Zen Woman truckers are mostly Indian here
Speaker 2: in South Arizona. I have seen an enormous amount of
Speaker 2: increase in the number of Indian truck stop owners on
Speaker 2: the route between Tennessee and Texas that my wife take.
Speaker 2: You know, we have to stop fairly frequently, and even
Speaker 2: more now that we have the baby and there are
Speaker 2: so many Indian truck stop owners now and it I remember,
Speaker 2: you know, when I was young that was not the case.
Speaker 2: And they're in very strange places, you know, middle the
Speaker 2: middle of Arkansas, you know, just absolutely nowhere off the
Speaker 2: highway in Texas. You know, you're hours from anywhere, and
Speaker 2: there's an Indian restaurant with a truck stop attached to it.
Speaker 2: And it just is it's becoming very very strange the US.
Speaker 2: The whole melting pot idea was never a good one
Speaker 2: and it does not really work in practice. Anka ten
Speaker 2: sixty one. Does anyone have Dave's site link for kick
Speaker 2: kick dot com ford slash the David Night Show Kick
Speaker 2: dot com ford Slash the David Night Show, So if
Speaker 2: you want to subscribe on kick you can do that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think we've covered this article well enough, it is.
Speaker 5: Before we move on from that. I'm sure if Dad
Speaker 5: were here to relay his own personal story with a
Speaker 5: trucker smashing into him. He was stopped at a red
Speaker 5: light and the trucker hit him from behind, pushed him
Speaker 5: out into the intersection, and when the police showed up,
Speaker 5: the trucker just said no English, no English, no papers,
Speaker 5: and the police just let him go. He hit Dad
Speaker 5: several times, pushing him forward. Then the police said that
Speaker 5: it was Dad's fault for having too small a car
Speaker 5: and that the trucker couldn't see him. A well trained
Speaker 5: trucker would be able to. But they're giving these jobs
Speaker 5: to anyone, so it's creating a major hazard.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right, Thank you whistler, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that happened when we were in Texas.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: Somebody driving a dump truck, and since my dad drives Amiata,
Speaker 2: the guy did not check, he did not look, and
Speaker 2: apparently had forgotten that there was a car in front
Speaker 2: of him and just floored it as fast as he could.
Speaker 2: Rear ended my dad, pushed him out in the intersection,
Speaker 2: hit him multiple times from behind, and that was a
Speaker 2: very scary experience for them. We're just very thankful God
Speaker 2: has protected our family in so many ways over the years.
Speaker 2: And now I think we're going to go to the hill.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about Nissan cutting thousands of jobs and
Speaker 2: shutting multiple factories. So Nissan said Tuesday it is making
Speaker 2: a significant reduction or significant reductions to its workforce and
Speaker 2: scaling back factory production. Citing results during its just completed
Speaker 2: fiscal year, the Japanese automaker said it is aiming to
Speaker 2: reduce its workforce by approximately fifteen percent a total of
Speaker 2: twenty thousand employees between fiscal year twenty twenty four and
Speaker 2: fiscal twenty twenty seven, the previously announce reduction of note
Speaker 2: including the previously announced reduction of nine thousand workers. Now
Speaker 2: this is just my own personal speculation, but I did
Speaker 2: a little bit of research, and of course these are
Speaker 2: numbers you pull from the Internet, so it's hard to
Speaker 2: say whether they're factual or not. But apparently in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four sold roughly two hundred eighty six thousand vehicles
Speaker 2: in Japan, roughly six hundred ninety six thousand vehicles in China,
Speaker 2: and nine hundred and twenty four thousand vehicles in the
Speaker 2: United States. So Japan and China together are nine or
Speaker 2: eighty three thousand, one un and sixty five, which is
Speaker 2: or fifty nine thousand or seven more than the singular
Speaker 2: US market. So the US is the lion's share of
Speaker 2: their market. North America accounts for thirty eight percent, US
Speaker 2: for twenty seven percent of that thirty eight Now why
Speaker 2: would they be reducing their production so much. I think
Speaker 2: personally it's because they are incredibly uncertain of what is
Speaker 2: going to happen in the North American market. I believe
Speaker 2: they are looking at where they sell the vast majority
Speaker 2: of their cars, and how incredibly unstable of an economic
Speaker 2: zone this is, and thinking of themselves, can we justify
Speaker 2: the level of production we have been maintained for years.
Speaker 2: So personally, I think Nissan is looking at America as
Speaker 2: a bad investment, and they are preemptively cutting the fat
Speaker 2: and removing some of their factories and trying to get
Speaker 2: down the number of people they have to pay, seeing
Speaker 2: perhaps the collapse of the American economy on the horizon.
Speaker 2: Now that's just speculation on my part, but when you
Speaker 2: account for the fact that the North American market is
Speaker 2: thirty eight percent of their total, and neither the United
Speaker 2: States nor Canada is in a good place right now
Speaker 2: and are most likely headed for worse times, to me,
Speaker 2: it makes a little bit of sense that they would
Speaker 2: be looking at it suspiciously and cutting back now. Of course,
Speaker 2: car companies have also just been suffering over the years
Speaker 2: as more and more regulations are piled on and they
Speaker 2: are told to do more and more absurd things, such
Speaker 2: as maintain EPA standards and move towards electric vehicles. But
Speaker 2: as it stands, personally, I'm looking at it as a
Speaker 2: Nissan being very, very unoptimistic when it comes to the
Speaker 2: American market. In particular Green Tea three sixty nine blaming
Speaker 2: the victim for having too small a car. That cop
Speaker 2: never rides a motorcycle. Yeah, that was truly an example
Speaker 2: of our police force at work. They are here to
Speaker 2: mostly harass you. They are here to ticket you and
Speaker 2: make revenue off of you. They are a source of
Speaker 2: revenue generation for the state. We have seen it routinely
Speaker 2: where someone gets stopped there carrying a large amount of
Speaker 2: cash because they're going to make a purchase, whether it
Speaker 2: be a vehicle or something for their business, and the
Speaker 2: police just sees it. They assume they are part of
Speaker 2: a drug deal, or they say they assume it, and
Speaker 2: then they take that money and very rarely does the
Speaker 2: person end up getting it back. It is put into
Speaker 2: lock up, it is seized, and then it disappears into
Speaker 2: the system and if you want it back, you were
Speaker 2: going to have to fight the government for it. And
Speaker 2: the government has all time in the world. They are
Speaker 2: going to drag it out. They are going to you know,
Speaker 2: hit you with every sort of technicality that they can,
Speaker 2: and they will make sure that it will be a
Speaker 2: long and arduous process for you to deal with them
Speaker 2: and get anything back. When the government takes something from you,
Speaker 2: it is very, very difficult to get them to relinquish it.
Speaker 2: I think that we will take a quick break and
Speaker 2: when we come back, we might take a look at
Speaker 2: what happened with India and Pakistan.
Speaker 4: Stay with us.
Speaker 6: Who you're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 7: And welcome back.
Speaker 2: We have a comment from SECASK but let's give these
Speaker 2: illegals their due process. We wouldn't want to throw any
Speaker 2: of those bumps out of the country. The due process
Speaker 2: for illegals is to throw them out of the country. See,
Speaker 2: we already have a system in place. If someone isn't illegal,
Speaker 2: then what they are entitled to is to be removed
Speaker 2: from the country. I'm not saying that we need to
Speaker 2: give them special privileges, but if you know, if they
Speaker 2: are here legally, or if they have somehow been grandfathered in,
Speaker 2: then there are extenuating circumstances and you are entitled to
Speaker 2: due process. That is how the system works. And if
Speaker 2: we do not uphold the rights for the everyone, eventually
Speaker 2: the government comes for our rights. It's simple as that.
Speaker 2: Sometimes double standards look nice, but eventually they take it
Speaker 2: from you as well. That's just how these things work.
Speaker 2: The government does not like having a The government does
Speaker 2: not like the American people, and they will use any
Speaker 2: sort of precedent to come after you as well.
Speaker 5: To iterate on that, yes, the due process for any
Speaker 5: illegal that is found to be illegal is to throw
Speaker 5: them out of the country, but then throwing them into
Speaker 5: a maximum security prison on top of that should only
Speaker 5: be done if they are found guilty of a crime.
Speaker 5: That is the issue is that he has a suspended due
Speaker 5: process in the matter of you know, jailing these people
Speaker 5: in horrible, horrible conditions, which some of them do deserve,
Speaker 5: you know, if they have committed the crime, but you
Speaker 5: need to have a trial to determine that.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, they are being just sent to a absolutely hellish prison.
Speaker 2: And if their only crime is crossing the border, that
Speaker 2: does not that is not a punishment that fits it.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 2: Unchristian tooth that way. And of course, you know, you
Speaker 2: have to be a Christian for that to apply. But
Speaker 2: I also I know I'm doing it frequently, but I
Speaker 2: want to say, please continue to pray for our dad.
Speaker 4: It is a struggle for.
Speaker 2: Him, So just continual reminders because it is always on
Speaker 2: my mind. Also want to take this time to briefly

Speaker 2: be extremely expensive, and of course you know we wouldn't
Speaker 2: trade our father for any amount of money, but it
Speaker 2: is going to be. It is going to be a lot,
Speaker 2: a lot of money to eventually pay back. So thank
Speaker 2: you all so much, and we cannot thank you enough.
Speaker 2: Now let's take a look at war. I've got this
Speaker 2: article from zero Hedge. Here, China emerges as the only
Speaker 2: real winter in India's pack castanny sandbox with unprecedented combat testing.
Speaker 2: Now we see this routinely with any sort of conflict
Speaker 2: anywhere in the world. These these companies that manufacture devices
Speaker 2: for the military or vehicles, missiles, bombs, they are the
Speaker 2: true winners in these conflicts. Raytheon Lockey, Martin Boeing All
Speaker 2: of these companies tend to make out like bandits as
Speaker 2: they send our young men to die. And of course
Speaker 2: we have people like Lindsey Graham who are deeply indebted
Speaker 2: to the military industrial complex, who want nothing more than
Speaker 2: to get involved in another war anywhere in the world
Speaker 2: so that they can enrich themselves further so that they
Speaker 2: can line their pockets. And they do not care how
Speaker 2: much blood is spilt, whether it's ours or the innocent
Speaker 2: lives caught in between the American military and whatever evil
Speaker 2: quote unquote they are fighting at the time it is.
Speaker 2: And as we can see, this is not just something
Speaker 2: that is part of American culture. Every single country around
Speaker 2: the globe has their own military industrial complex that they
Speaker 2: are beholden to that is deeply entrenched within their own bureaucracy,
Speaker 2: and are going to stir up conflict and get involved
Speaker 2: with conflict just so that they can have a testing
Speaker 2: ground for their shiny new death machine. They want to
Speaker 2: be able to brag to someone in government and make
Speaker 2: a sales pitch like, oh yeah, we have real world
Speaker 2: testing of this and it turns out that this is
Speaker 2: incredibly lethal. They want the lethality is the point, and
Speaker 2: these people want nothing more than to build a machine
Speaker 2: to kill us all. Once they have that.
Speaker 8: I.
Speaker 2: Mean, where can you go from there? If you're a
Speaker 2: raytheon Truly, that is the apotheosis of their technology, a
Speaker 2: button that just simply wipes out all life on the planet.
Speaker 2: From Reason Magazine, The Indian Pakistani ceasefire is what US
Speaker 2: diplomacy should look like. Sitting on the sidelines. Let America
Speaker 2: play a neutral mediator and talk down both sides, and
Speaker 2: I hope that this is a long lasting piece. I
Speaker 2: genuinely hope the best for both of these countries. I
Speaker 2: would like to see the conflict end. There are so
Speaker 2: many people in each of these countries, and the loss
Speaker 2: of life would be staggering if they went to war,
Speaker 2: the sheer number of civilian casualties it probably be, it
Speaker 2: would be a horror that the world has as not
Speaker 2: seen for decades. At this point. America didn't start the
Speaker 2: fire between India and Pakistan, but US diplomacy ended it.
Speaker 2: After four days of nerve racking combat between two nuclear
Speaker 2: armed powers. The Worlds for the World first heard from
Speaker 2: US President Donald Trump that both sides had agreed to
Speaker 2: a ceasefire after a long night of talks. Mediated by
Speaker 2: the United States. I am pleased to announce that India
Speaker 2: and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire,
Speaker 2: the President wrote on truth social on Saturday afternoon. Congratulations
Speaker 2: to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence.
Speaker 2: Although the Indian government denied the role of a third
Speaker 2: party intervention in ending the crisis, Pakistani Foreign Minister Munir
Speaker 2: Dhar confirmed that the US was one of the three
Speaker 2: dozen countries whose diplomats tried to mediate between the warring countries.
Speaker 2: Secretary of State Mark Rubio had talked with both Indian
Speaker 2: and Pakistani officials over the weekend, telling them to resume
Speaker 2: contact with each other. Now I'm curious, did they both
Speaker 2: have Indian Pakistan both had a deal with market WI.
Speaker 2: Do you think they just bonded over the that they
Speaker 2: both hate Marco Rubio? They had to deal with him,
Speaker 2: and like, oh man, he's a slimy little weasel, isn't he.
Speaker 2: And they just decided, you know, all right, instead of
Speaker 2: hating each other, we can just hate Marco Rubio. Perhaps
Speaker 2: he's the avatar of hate in this scenario. Maybe that's
Speaker 2: what his job is. Trump sends out Marco Rubio to
Speaker 2: these warring countries and they realize, you know, we're not
Speaker 2: so different, but him, he's disgusting. I hate that guy.
Speaker 2: We both hate that guy. Well, if you hate him,
Speaker 2: you can't be all bad. Vice President JD. Vance personally
Speaker 2: called Indian Prime Minister out of end of Moody and
Speaker 2: of course very very anti Christian regime in India at
Speaker 2: the moment. Mody is no friend of the Christians. It
Speaker 2: is not good for Christians in India at this point.
Speaker 2: And if war were to escalate, I can only imagine
Speaker 2: they would be some of the first people to be
Speaker 2: left by the sidelines. The government would do nothing to
Speaker 2: protect the Christians there after underestuding alarming intelligence about it
Speaker 2: dramatic escalation, CNN reports. Just a day before, Vance had
Speaker 2: told Fox News that the Indian Pakistani conflict was fundamentally
Speaker 2: none of our business and indeed neither side realized on
Speaker 2: American weapons, funding or protection. That's the most surprising thing
Speaker 2: about this whole scenario. Neither of these That's why we
Speaker 2: stopped it. That's why we stopped it, folks. This is
Speaker 2: what it is. Neither of them are using our weapons.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: If one of them signs a contract with Raytheon, Boeing,
Speaker 2: Lockheed Martin, any of these companies that supply our military
Speaker 2: industrial complex. You can bet the war is back on.
Speaker 2: They're going to send Marco Rubio back out and he's
Speaker 2: going to get them back at each other's throats. So
Speaker 2: look out for that, folks in the coming months. If
Speaker 2: Pakistan or India buys a lot of you know, ballistic
Speaker 2: missiles from the United States, you can bet they are
Speaker 2: going back to war. I'm being facetious here. Of course,
Speaker 2: it wasn't always so. Pakistan was a close Cold World
Speaker 2: partner of the United States, which gave it billions of
Speaker 2: dollars in military aid. The Knicks administration infamously rushed weapons
Speaker 2: to Pakistan during the brutal attempt to suppress the Bangladeshi
Speaker 2: independence movement in nineteen seventy one, but the relationship cooled
Speaker 2: over the following decade, and the Trump administration finally cut
Speaker 2: most US military a to Pakistan in twenty eighteen. That's right, folks,
Speaker 2: we fell out of love with Pakistan. You know, we
Speaker 2: just went it wasn't us, it was them, or it
Speaker 2: wasn't them. It was us one way or the other.
Speaker 2: And you know, we just didn't have any need for
Speaker 2: a little puppet state in that area anymore. Vance's intervention
Speaker 2: wouldn't be the first time a US administration step between
Speaker 2: the India and Pakistan. In the nineteen nineties, then President
Speaker 2: George HW. Bush reportedly sent a secret envoy to talk
Speaker 2: to the two governments down from launching premptive strikes against
Speaker 2: each other. In two thousand and one, then President George W.
Speaker 2: Bus Bush used shuttle diplomacy to defuse another India Pakistan crisis.
Speaker 2: This is just a continual pot that's boiling. These countries
Speaker 2: hate each other, and they have hated each other for
Speaker 2: my entire lifetime and longer than that, so I would
Speaker 2: not be surprised if we actually do see a war
Speaker 2: from them at some point. The the cultural differences, the
Speaker 2: religious differences, the these people do not like each other,
Speaker 2: and this is not something that can really be mediated
Speaker 2: by third parties or really by anything. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: the fact that they are so close to each other
Speaker 2: and are this hostile will probably mean an eventual war
Speaker 2: of some kind, and we can only hope that it
Speaker 2: is swift and as clean as possible, and we are
Speaker 2: not involved. Both sides were operating with perverse incentives. India's
Speaker 2: military advantage over Pakistan gave Indian leaders and incentive to
Speaker 2: move forward a full scale conventional war, like the US
Speaker 2: during the Cold War and Russia after the Cold War,
Speaker 2: both of which tried to use nuclear threats to make
Speaker 2: up for conventional military disadvantages. Pakistan in turn and incentive
Speaker 2: to keep nuclear first strike on the table.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: India has many, many, many people in the military. India
Speaker 2: has an immense population and as such they are more
Speaker 2: than willing to throw their military into the meat grinder
Speaker 2: of conflict. They will be able to overwhelm Pakistan with
Speaker 2: sheer numbers it in a conventional war. India has an
Speaker 2: extreme advantage troop numbers are they still count for a
Speaker 2: lot in the fact that they can just annex more
Speaker 2: ground by sheer number of people. We have a comment
Speaker 2: from Brian dev McCartney Travis Whistler. How's your mom holding up?
Speaker 2: Many prayers for her strength and encouragement. Yes, please pray
Speaker 2: for my mom as well. I know I haven't asked
Speaker 2: you to, but that is my own fault for being
Speaker 2: less thoughtful than I should have been. She has been
Speaker 2: incredibly strong. She has held up incredibly well. Our mom
Speaker 2: is very, very tough. She has endured a lot, and
Speaker 2: she is she has a wonderful woman. She doesn't complain,
Speaker 2: she just works very very hard. But we can tell
Speaker 2: that this has taken a toll on her. I mean,
Speaker 2: of course it would have to, you know, it's a
Speaker 2: very it's a very difficult situation. But she has been
Speaker 2: amazing through this. She has given my dad so much
Speaker 2: support and has been there for him every step of
Speaker 2: the way. Our mom is a truly incredible, wonderful, godly
Speaker 2: woman and we have been so blessed to have her
Speaker 2: as our mom. So she is tired and she is stressed,
Speaker 2: but as always, she is amazing and she is doing
Speaker 2: everything she can to make sure that my dad has
Speaker 2: everything he needs, and she has been with him for
Speaker 2: every moment that he wasn't in surgery. So please keep
Speaker 2: her in your prayers, Please lift her up as well,
Speaker 2: and give her peace and comfort and the strength that
Speaker 2: she needs to continue to be there for him. And yes,
Speaker 2: thank you for thank you for that comment, Brian Deed McCartney.
Speaker 2: Really really glad to see you there.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: So that was the India Pakistan conflict. Now I saw
Speaker 2: this article on zero Hedge, and this one interested me
Speaker 2: a lot personally. This is right up my alley in
Speaker 2: a sort of I tend to enjoy sort of psychological
Speaker 2: analysis of things or just looking at the psychology of people.
Speaker 2: I'm a complete pseudo intellectual, of course, but you know
Speaker 2: that's what pseudo intellectuals like. So on zero Hedge. Psychmeds
Speaker 2: and Veblin goods.
Speaker 1: In heis and this.
Speaker 2: Is authored by Jeffrey A. Tucker via the Epoch Times.
Speaker 2: In high school in West Texas in the late nineteen seventies,
Speaker 2: psych meds were Veblin goods that his products desired as
Speaker 2: market as markers of status. They were conspicuously consumed by
Speaker 2: the children of the well to do, with profound awareness
Speaker 2: that their schoolmates could neither could afford neither the treatment
Speaker 2: nor the supposed cure. So the kids I knew, many
Speaker 2: of them, they would tolerate me in their circles. From
Speaker 2: time to time, would brag about their diagnosis, their prescriptions,
Speaker 2: the mix, and how it made them feel. They would
Speaker 2: carry their pills and show them off, rattling off names
Speaker 2: of this or that drug and laughing mischievously about it all.
Speaker 2: There was nothing particul killarly maudlin about them. Except as performance.
Speaker 2: They were genuinely proud, the way one might be when
Speaker 2: wearing an overpriced luxury coat or shoes. The pills were
Speaker 2: just part of the mix, so they paraded their supposed
Speaker 2: maladies as badges of honor. I think we can see
Speaker 2: this again playing out with the what people call the
Speaker 2: mental health crisis of the United States now, and especially
Speaker 2: with the transgender movement. Any sort of you know, illness
Speaker 2: is now a marker that puts you higher up in
Speaker 2: the hierarchy of oppression. If you have you know, depression
Speaker 2: or any sort of mental malady, you have something that
Speaker 2: you can cling to and point to and say, well,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: I've got this.
Speaker 4: So if you're okay, that.
Speaker 2: Makes you, you know, an oppressor of some kind. It
Speaker 2: puts you beneath them. The only way to elevate yourself
Speaker 2: in today's America is to have something wrong with you,
Speaker 2: to have something that entitles you to the support of
Speaker 2: other people in some way or the other. And the LGBT,
Speaker 2: especially the t's, have long been a proponent of this ideology.
Speaker 2: We can see it in the way they act in
Speaker 2: all fields, the way that any you know, any straight
Speaker 2: man or woman is the enemy to them in many
Speaker 2: senses of the word. And this mental illness is what
Speaker 2: makes them special. Their desire to mutilate themselves elevates them
Speaker 2: over you and makes them a better person than you are,
Speaker 2: simply because they are mentally ill and they are completely
Speaker 2: unwell and wish to reshape society around themselves. It gives
Speaker 2: them a cloak the media, a shield for them to
Speaker 2: bash you with. They are inoculated against criticism, while you
Speaker 2: are seen as evil by default. This is a continual
Speaker 2: way of operation, and we can see this from the
Speaker 2: way you know it was back even in the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 2: There was always a sniffy air of detachment, of detachment
Speaker 2: culture of these There's always a sniffy air of detachment
Speaker 2: culture of these kids. Nonchalant disregard for all systems, whether
Speaker 2: school or family or church or even society at large.
Speaker 2: They were above it all, and the meds and the
Speaker 2: condition they were addressing were part of that. It was
Speaker 2: a class marker. There was even a hint of politics
Speaker 2: about it, and underscoring and display of alienation. They were
Speaker 2: at once the top of the social heap, but disdainful
Speaker 2: of it. Most of these kids excelled in their grades
Speaker 2: and set their sites high in college applications, with no
Speaker 2: doubt that they would succeed. They would do so despite
Speaker 2: their profound mental condition, which they blamed on parents, social structures, teachers, protocol,
Speaker 2: and the machine. Generally, society had made them sick, but
Speaker 2: the meds gave them freedom to float above it all.
Speaker 2: I've not followed their lives since then. Maybe they dropped
Speaker 2: them after college.
Speaker 1: And lived normally.
Speaker 2: Maybe not. None will likely write memoirs, so we'll never know.
Speaker 2: Regardless of the decades since this veblin Good went the
Speaker 2: way of all luxury purchases, over time it became mainstream.
Speaker 2: Psychmeds are now common among adults and children. It's a
Speaker 2: massive industry. Like cell phones and TVs generations ago, they
Speaker 2: migrated through the class structure year by year. It truly
Speaker 2: is amazing the sheer number of people in today's society
Speaker 2: that are on some form of medication, the especially psychological. Anytime,
Speaker 2: I don't really watch TV that much, usually only if
Speaker 2: we're traveling, you know, My wife and I will stop
Speaker 2: at a hotel halfway between Texas and Tennessee somewhere. And
Speaker 2: since the TV is the only thing they have. You'll
Speaker 2: flip it on for a bit, and it feels as
Speaker 2: though fit fifty percent of commercials are for some form
Speaker 2: of antidepressant or some way of managing anxiety. And it
Speaker 2: is horrifying to think that so many people are using
Speaker 2: chemicals to manage themselves and what it might be doing
Speaker 2: to them. We've seen what SSRIs do to people and
Speaker 2: the ways it can change them, and the shear how
Speaker 2: dangerous it can make them as it warps their personality
Speaker 2: and turns them, some of them into mass murderers. It
Speaker 2: is deeply concerning on every level that the American public
Speaker 2: feels the need to escape reality and escape themselves through
Speaker 2: chemical alteration. And so many people are you know, they
Speaker 2: cannot function at this point unless they have it. It
Speaker 2: is getting scary and scarier that more and more people
Speaker 2: are just unable to cope with reality unless they are
Speaker 2: chemically enhanced or altered or.
Speaker 3: Just It is a deep.
Speaker 2: Concern of mine, and the therapy culture as well has gotten
Speaker 2: out of hand. The sheer number of people that think, oh,
Speaker 2: everyone needs therapy. Everyone needs to go and chat with someone,
Speaker 2: a paid friend that will tell you different ways of
Speaker 2: coping with things and then potentially prescribe you some little
Speaker 2: pills that can modify your behavior so that you can
Speaker 2: feel a little bit of happiness. We have created a
Speaker 2: worse rat race over and over again.
Speaker 5: It's truly amazing how many people are on these pills,
Speaker 5: and if only a small percentage of them have these
Speaker 5: kind of reactions, that's still a staggering number of people. Yes,
Speaker 5: I think one of the best ways of showing that
Speaker 5: is the people that don't commit matter shootings but almost did.
Speaker 5: Like there's several stories that my dad has relayed, such
Speaker 5: as the one where the person was pointing a gun
Speaker 5: at his class and then pointing it back at himself
Speaker 5: and then pointing it at the class and then you know,
Speaker 5: eventually just dazed and they wrestled the gun away from
Speaker 5: him and then had absolutely no memory of any of that.
Speaker 5: And there's several stories of basically the exact same thing
Speaker 5: of that happening.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's much more common than they want you
Speaker 2: to believe. They do everything they can to cover up
Speaker 2: when there's a side effect for one of their little
Speaker 2: pet drugs that they love to push on people and
Speaker 2: makes them a lot of money. So we can only
Speaker 2: imagine how many of these things go unreported or underreported.
Speaker 2: These people, you know, as a whistler, said that he was.
Speaker 2: He had no memory of it. It completely took him over.
Speaker 2: He was not himself at all. He had no idea
Speaker 2: what had happened when he came to himself. And that
Speaker 2: is an incredibly scary thought, the fact that these chemicals
Speaker 2: can take you over and make you do things that,
Speaker 2: under normal circumstances you would be horrified by.
Speaker 3: And you know that's.
Speaker 2: This isn't a if you're on these pills. This isn't
Speaker 2: a matter of willpower. It's not a well, you know,
Speaker 2: if you just don't want to do it, you won't
Speaker 2: do it. No, this is a you know, it chemically
Speaker 2: alters you. It changes you, It makes you a completely
Speaker 2: different person. It's not that this kid wanted to hurt them,
Speaker 2: as obvious, it is a It's a very very sad
Speaker 2: and very very scary thing that these pharmaceutical companies are
Speaker 2: able to push these poisons on people, and so many
Speaker 2: people just blindly accept them and give them to children.
Speaker 2: Angry tigers Den, good to see you, Good to see you,
Speaker 2: Thanks for being here. People have lost the connection with
Speaker 2: God all the things that you were talking about are
Speaker 2: a symptom of this God. There is no moral compass
Speaker 2: and there is no hope for these people, utterly an
Speaker 2: empty existence in which they replace God with themselves. This
Speaker 2: is unfulfilling in a road to nowhere. Yes, that is
Speaker 2: exactly right. If you do not have God, you will
Speaker 2: try to fill that void with anything and everything, whether
Speaker 2: it's chemicals or you know, money, men or women, you know,
Speaker 2: whichever one, you will try to fill it with anything
Speaker 2: and everything, and eventually they will all let you down
Speaker 2: and you will be more empty than you ever were before.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's.
Speaker 2: Cliche, but you see it all the time when people
Speaker 2: get rich. You know, for a while, they seem incredibly happy.
Speaker 2: You know, they're having the time of their life. It
Speaker 2: would seem they're buying whatever they want, they're going wherever
Speaker 2: they want, they're spending time with whoever they want. And
Speaker 2: then we see it over and over again where they
Speaker 2: just become more and more miserable. They end up addicted
Speaker 2: to drugs or you know, destroying their own lives in
Speaker 2: some way. And it's because these things do not fulfill you.
Speaker 2: They can be part of a happy life, but they
Speaker 2: are not the source of a happy life. Christ is
Speaker 2: the only thing that truly matters in this world. He
Speaker 2: is God, is the source of all joy, and if
Speaker 2: you do not have God, then you have nothing at all.
Speaker 2: It is I forget who said it, and it's a
Speaker 2: I remember hearing it all my life. But man has
Speaker 2: a God shaped hole in his heart and nothing else
Speaker 2: will fill that hole. You cannot There is no amount
Speaker 2: of earthly possessions that can fulfill you. You cannot spend
Speaker 2: your way to happiness. You cannot do drugs, you cannot
Speaker 2: spend time with even the most amazing people and feel fulfilled. Eventually,
Speaker 2: it all comes down to the fact that we need
Speaker 2: a Lord and savior, and Christ gave that to us.
Speaker 2: Soiling Goy, Perhaps the drug need a reason to be prescribed,
Speaker 2: so mental disorders are invented for that purpose. I thoroughly
Speaker 2: agree with you there. The over diagnoses of conditions is
Speaker 2: something that we are dealing with. These doctors love to
Speaker 2: have a purpose, and if you're not sick, what's the
Speaker 2: reason for having them There? Psychiatrists will bring you in
Speaker 2: and they will tell you, oh, yes, you have an
Speaker 2: anxiety disorder, you have this, you have that, and you
Speaker 2: know what you need this medication, and you need to
Speaker 2: go see a therapist, and you should see a therapist
Speaker 2: multiple times a week or at least once a week,
Speaker 2: as often as you can. And it is part of
Speaker 2: the medical industrial complex. They are getting it is about
Speaker 2: making money. And that has always been something that has
Speaker 2: blown my mind, is that people will be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I love my therapist. They listen to me. It's like,
Speaker 2: don't you have friends or family if how can a
Speaker 2: therapist do more for you than what your friends and
Speaker 2: family can. The therapist doesn't care about you. They're being paid.
Speaker 2: The therapist isn't going to continue to listen to you
Speaker 2: once that money stops coming in. Your friends and family
Speaker 2: actually do care about you. They are there for you
Speaker 2: in times of trouble. That's why God has given them
Speaker 2: to us. And just so many people will utterly avoid
Speaker 2: talking about their problems with their friends or their family.
Speaker 3: They will.
Speaker 2: Have contempt for them almost in that sense, like oh no,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't talk to them. You know they don't have
Speaker 2: a degree, whereas you know your parents have years of
Speaker 2: wisdom and have probably gone through at least something similar
Speaker 2: and can tell you how they handled it as opposed
Speaker 2: to a therapist who has just spent you know, probably
Speaker 2: a decade in school and has no real life experience.
Speaker 2: So that is my take on that overminch. Happiness comes
Speaker 2: from purpose, I agree, the purpose of serving God. That
Speaker 2: is where I believe Wally Walras, I love my Christian
Speaker 2: counseling center. Yes, if you have Christian counseling where they
Speaker 2: are doing it from a biblical basis and pointing you
Speaker 2: towards God as in the end, the answer to all things,
Speaker 2: and knowing that He will get you through this, I
Speaker 2: think that can be a very valuable thing. But secular
Speaker 2: therapy is really more about putting yourself on a pedestal
Speaker 2: and idolizing yourself. And that's my opinion on these things.
Speaker 2: I haven't gone down the rabbit hole of thoroughly correlating,
Speaker 2: collating my ideas and putting them into a concise narrative structure.
Speaker 2: On why dislike therapy so much like that.
Speaker 5: Says the psychology is the study of the soul from
Speaker 5: a group of people that deny the souls even exist.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, these people want to give you eternal purpose
Speaker 2: when they don't believe there is an eternity. Soilent goy.
Speaker 2: Are you sad, here's a pill. Are you angry? There's
Speaker 2: a pill. Did you eat pancakes this morning? Here's a pill.
Speaker 2: That's right, there's a pill for everything. And then when
Speaker 2: that pill starts giving you side effects, there's a pill
Speaker 2: for that too. They will medicate you into the grave.
Speaker 2: It is all about getting you to take more and
Speaker 2: more medication. Because it is a money making scheme. They
Speaker 2: will medicate you down to the grave. I think we're
Speaker 2: going to take a quick break and we will be
Speaker 2: right back.
Speaker 1: In defending the American dream. You're listening to the David
Speaker 1: Night Show analyzing the globalist next move in the Deevid
Speaker 1: Nut Show.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, folks. We've got plenty of comments here, soilent goy.
Speaker 2: When there's so much irrational hatred, irrational nonsense going on,
Speaker 2: it doesn't surprise me that a lot of people have anxiety. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they are constantly putting fear out into the world. That
Speaker 2: is one of the big purposes of the twenty four
Speaker 2: hour news cycle. I'm not saying anything new here, but
Speaker 2: that has been one of the worst things that has
Speaker 2: ever happened to the American people. Just this constant fear
Speaker 2: mongering anytime you want to, you can turn on the
Speaker 2: TV or go online and find something to be afraid of.
Speaker 2: They can continually tell you over and over again that
Speaker 2: this is happening or that's happening, and you need to
Speaker 2: be afraid of it, despite the fact that statistically you
Speaker 2: are still very, very safe. They want to continually hammer
Speaker 2: you over the head with fear. A fearful population is
Speaker 2: one that is easy to control. You will sign away
Speaker 2: your liberties if they can promise you. It's an easier
Speaker 2: thing to make the sale when there is more to
Speaker 2: be afraid of than there is when it's a safe country.
Speaker 2: Right overture Jesus is the only answer. Yes, I completely
Speaker 2: agree with you. Right overture. I ask that you please
Speaker 2: keep my dad in your prayers. Please lift him up
Speaker 2: before our Lord and Savior. Thank you very much, Zoro seventy.
Speaker 2: Psychology is a pseudo religon and pure scam plus the
Speaker 2: delicition of good and bad deletion. Yeah, they have removed
Speaker 2: the idea of good and evil from the public consciousness.
Speaker 2: As a general rule, things are very morally gray now.
Speaker 2: They want you to continually feel sympathy for people who
Speaker 2: do evil, but will demonize anyone that pushes a Christian
Speaker 2: worldview on anyone else. So I goy again. One of
Speaker 2: the big problems is the current culture is isolating a
Speaker 2: lot of people, no friends, no family. The lockdown was
Speaker 2: a big part of that. Yes, people are more isolated
Speaker 2: than they've ever been, and there is a reason that
Speaker 2: the worst thing that they can do to people in
Speaker 2: prison is to put them in solitary confinement. When you
Speaker 2: are alone, it becomes much much more difficult. Humans are
Speaker 2: meant to have community, meant to have family, and if
Speaker 2: you do not have that, you begin to lose perspective
Speaker 2: on things, and it becomes a form of torture.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 2: It is incredibly dangerous to be left all alone with
Speaker 2: your own thoughts and not ever interact with other people.
Speaker 2: It is easy to spiral and to just you know,
Speaker 2: lose yourself.
Speaker 4: Star Barkley.
Speaker 2: My sister gave me half an ambient once and the
Speaker 2: next day was telling me things I said and did
Speaker 2: that I didn't remember. Never took it again. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: seems to be a very common problem with things like ambient. Now,
Speaker 2: of course, people may be using it as an excuse
Speaker 2: to get out of the consequences of things they've said
Speaker 2: or done. But we've seen many many people come out
Speaker 2: and say, yeah, I have no recollection of that. I
Speaker 2: took ambient or a sleeping medication of some sort, and
Speaker 2: you know, I just blacked out. I don't know who
Speaker 2: that was that said those things, but whoever it was,
Speaker 2: it wasn't me. I wasn't in control of my own
Speaker 2: body at the time.
Speaker 1: Nights of this.
Speaker 2: They don't seek to cure problems. They want lifelong customers. Yes,
Speaker 2: that is the continual That seems to be continual rule
Speaker 2: of thumb for any part of the medical industry. They
Speaker 2: want you coming back over and over again. A therapist
Speaker 2: is not going to get paid if he actually fixes
Speaker 2: his client. They want you to come back weekly for
Speaker 2: your little vent session where they can tell you, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, you're right, you're right. It's you don't need
Speaker 2: to work on yourself or change your perspective or change
Speaker 2: how you view things or do things. It is simply
Speaker 2: a way for them to get validation. It is a
Speaker 2: form of self worship. In my opinion, a Syrian girl
Speaker 2: therapists are at best paid friends and we all know
Speaker 2: the other word for that.
Speaker 1: That is very true.
Speaker 2: Truck or Chris for the wind has gifted one sub
Speaker 2: on Kick. Thank you, Truck or Chris, appreciate the support,
Speaker 2: really do. I'm going to have to start a new
Speaker 2: segment of this show called I Have No Shame and
Speaker 2: I must grift to pay for these medical bills. So
Speaker 2: I think we'll do that now. So whatever your opinion is,
Speaker 2: I agree with it one percent. You're right, and I
Speaker 2: will just you tell me what your opinion is and
Speaker 2: I will agree with it. That's how this works. Now,
Speaker 2: you pay enough money, you get my co sign on anything.
Speaker 2: I'm being facetious, of course, but yes, if you would
Speaker 2: like to support the show, there are many avenues to
Speaker 2: do that. You can find those at the Davidnightshow dot com.
Speaker 2: Some of those avenues are subscribe Star, subscribe Star dot com,
Speaker 2: board slash the David Nightshow. You can sign up monthly
Speaker 2: and they will just bill you through Zell by searching
Speaker 2: the Davidnightshow. At ProtonMail dot com. There's a po box
Speaker 2: where you can just mail things directly to us. You
Speaker 2: can gift a sub on kick, you can tip on Rumble.
Speaker 2: You can support us by going to Davidknight dot gold
Speaker 2: and signing up with Tony arderburn Tony is a great guy.
Speaker 2: He has been a very good friend of the show
Speaker 2: and just a good friend to our family. And if
Speaker 2: you want to get some golden silver and get outside
Speaker 2: of the Fiat monetary system, he is a great great
Speaker 2: way to do that. Trends Journal, if you use promo
Speaker 2: code night, you get ten percent off of it and
Speaker 2: it helps support the show as well. So thank you
Speaker 2: very much, Thank you so much for all your support.
Speaker 1: It is truly.
Speaker 2: Wonderful to see the outpouring of kind words and just
Speaker 2: especially the prayers. The prayers are what have been the most.
Speaker 2: It has been incredible to see the number of people
Speaker 2: that just have sent messages or replied to things and
Speaker 2: told us they were praying for our dad. It has
Speaker 2: been an incredibly beautiful thing to see and it has
Speaker 2: given us so much peace and comfort knowing that he
Speaker 2: is being lifted up before God by all of you,
Speaker 2: and I cannot thank you enough for that. It is
Speaker 2: really helped this time to know that you're all out
Speaker 2: there praying for him.
Speaker 4: M Sellers.
Speaker 2: Sometimes godly therapy or counseling can help get you back
Speaker 2: on track, but you never substitute for your personal relationship
Speaker 2: with Jesus Christ. Yes, and again I think the main
Speaker 2: point there is that it is, you know, Christian counseling
Speaker 2: or therapy there, coming at it from a perspective of,
Speaker 2: you know, the from a godly perspective, from a Christ's
Speaker 2: centered perspective. It is not this atheistic self worship.
Speaker 4: It is a It is to.
Speaker 2: Point you back towards you know what you should be
Speaker 2: focused on, and to write your mind in that sense. Yes,
Speaker 2: but I agree with you m Sellers. Love the commercials
Speaker 2: almost as good as the show. Yes, the breaks that
Speaker 2: my dad has done are truly amazing. The music is
Speaker 2: I've always loved getting to sit there and enjoy it
Speaker 2: during the show. Not that I don't appreciate with the
Speaker 2: information my dad provides, but getting a nice little break
Speaker 2: and getting to hear some beautiful music has always been fantastic,
Speaker 2: and I'm glad you all appreciate them. I look forward
Speaker 2: to him coming back and being able to work on
Speaker 2: his music again and to hopefully bring you more soon.
Speaker 2: But knowing him, it will be a while simply because
Speaker 2: he is such a perfectionist.
Speaker 3: He will play the.
Speaker 1: He'll play a.
Speaker 2: Segment over and over again until he gets it just
Speaker 2: the way he wants it. He as much work as
Speaker 2: he puts in on the show. I think he is
Speaker 2: even more of a perfectionist about the music, and he
Speaker 2: will do it thousands of times until it sounds just
Speaker 2: right to him. And yes it is. They're really, really
Speaker 2: wonderful and I enjoy them all just as much as
Speaker 2: you do. Now, I want to just mention this. This
Speaker 2: is a book that I just got. It is Aberrations
Speaker 2: in the Heartland of the Real Secret Lives of Timothy
Speaker 2: McVeigh by Wendy S. Painting, PhD. And some of you
Speaker 2: may already know about her, but she was the co
Speaker 2: author and co producer of the documentary film A Noble Lie.
Speaker 2: I've just started reading this, so I won't actually go
Speaker 2: into it today. I'm only about ten pages in, but
Speaker 2: I will probably be giving you some exerts and snippets
Speaker 2: from it in the future. But it is an incredibly
Speaker 2: detailed and thoroughly researched book about Timothy McVay and goes
Speaker 2: into immense, immense detail about his life. I have thoroughly
Speaker 2: enjoyed the few pages that I've gotten to read so far,
Speaker 2: and it is just about the man who the behind
Speaker 2: the avatar that was created for the Oklahoma City bombing,
Speaker 2: and the media created this idea of Timothy McVey. Very
Speaker 2: few people, if any, actually knew anything about him besides
Speaker 2: what was portrayed in the media. And as we know today,
Speaker 2: the media does very little research, if any, and has
Speaker 2: their talking points handed down to them. So the Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City bombing was an amazing example of how a narrative
Speaker 2: can be created, and different narratives can be spun up
Speaker 2: and spun out into the atmosphere to muddy the water
Speaker 2: and make it impossible to figure out what really happened.
Speaker 2: So I'm very excited to read this book. It is
Speaker 2: very very well researched. It is a thick tome, and
Speaker 2: I look forward to being able to give you some
Speaker 2: interesting excerpts from it in the future. And I saw
Speaker 2: this last night Trump administration. Trump administration. Administration's universal flu
Speaker 2: vaccine project puzzles scientists, and I have to say it
Speaker 2: puzzles me as well. I thought this administration was going
Speaker 2: to have RFK in charge, and I thought RFK was
Speaker 2: going to tell people the dangers of vaccines and to
Speaker 2: expose them. But as we've seen so far, none of
Speaker 2: that has come true, and we are now moving towards
Speaker 2: a universal flu vaccine. This is by rob Stein on NPR. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm sure we won't agree with rob Stein's reasoning for this,
Speaker 2: but it was just really the headline that grabbed me
Speaker 2: out of this article in the sense of this is
Speaker 2: the administration that claimed, you know, he was the father
Speaker 2: of the vaccine. He gave us the covid vaccine warp speed.
Speaker 2: He was so proud of his little pet project, and
Speaker 2: we can see that he has learned absolutely nothing. These people,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is not your friend. He is in the
Speaker 2: pocket of these corporations and these powers as much as
Speaker 2: any other president ever has been. He gave them the lockdown.
Speaker 2: He gave them carte blanc to do whatever they wanted
Speaker 2: with the vaccination, the COVID vaccine. We still don't know
Speaker 2: all the untold damages that have been wrought by that thing.
Speaker 2: Is it has not been on a long enough timeline
Speaker 2: to fully see what kind of effects that will have,
Speaker 2: you know, what it's doing to people, And we are
Speaker 2: now working towards a universal flu vaccine. Vaccine experts are
Speaker 2: perplexed by a project the Trump administration has launched to
Speaker 2: develop a universal flu vaccine, which has been a long goal,
Speaker 2: though an elusive one in medical research. Dubbed Generation gold Standard,
Speaker 2: the project is aimed at creating a flu shot that
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be updated every year to match the
Speaker 2: latest strains of the virus. Project also aims to produce
Speaker 2: a vaccine that could protect people against other respiratory viruses
Speaker 2: that could cause a pandemic, such as bird flu and coronaviruses.
Speaker 2: That's right, folks, it's the scary, scary bird flu.
Speaker 5: Oh good, we needed a new covid vaccine. That was
Speaker 5: the big thing that has been killing so many people
Speaker 5: is just the lack of yet another covid vaccine.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: You can never have too many vaccines, folks. Just you know,
Speaker 2: roll up your sleeve and they're just going to come
Speaker 2: in with sequence after sequence of I for one, hope
Speaker 2: that they just keep churning these out so I never
Speaker 2: have to get out of the chair, so that I
Speaker 2: can just sit there and get vaccinated over and over again,
Speaker 2: repeatedly until I die. That's my biggest hope is that
Speaker 2: they can make me safe from every disease, every variation
Speaker 2: of every disease, and you know, by doing so, make
Speaker 2: themselves infinitely wealthy. The announcement surprise vaccine researchers, given the
Speaker 2: anti vaccine stance of health officials like Health and Human
Speaker 2: Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Even NPR can see the, if not hypocrisy, dissonance between
Speaker 2: the narrative and what is actually coming to place. They
Speaker 2: ran on a stance of anti vaccination, or at least
Speaker 2: vaccine skepticism, and yet here we are in the administration
Speaker 2: working towards a universal flu vaccine. I'm glad to see
Speaker 2: that this administration is still wanting to invest in developing
Speaker 2: next generation influenza vaccines or respiptory vaccines in general, says
Speaker 2: Ted Ross, director of Global Vaccine Development at the Cleveland Clinic.
Speaker 2: But Ross and the other outside vaccine experts are mystified
Speaker 2: by many aspects of Generation gold Standard. Well, Ross, you're
Speaker 2: not the only one that's mystified. I'm very mystified, more
Speaker 2: so by the fact that the Trump base still supports him,
Speaker 2: the fact that they refuse to look at this and say, Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe he's not the man we think he is. But
Speaker 2: of course they have yet to come to any sort
Speaker 2: of realization regarding that fact. First of all, the project
Speaker 2: plans to use an approach that would involve injecting people
Speaker 2: with a whole flu virus that has been killed with
Speaker 2: a chemical to render it harmless, but is still capable
Speaker 2: of stimulate the immune system. Vaccine experts consider the whole
Speaker 2: killed virus approach to be antiquated. This a head scrat
Speaker 2: This a head scratcher to me, This is puzzling, says
Speaker 2: doctor Gregory Poland, a vaccine expert who leads the atrea
Speaker 2: Academy of Science and Medicine in New York. We're going
Speaker 2: back to technology that would use forty to fifty years ago.
Speaker 2: So this is a little surprising to me. Why would
Speaker 2: you go backwards to this technology. It's a very old technology,
Speaker 2: Poland says, this is what influenza vaccines in the forties, fifties,
Speaker 2: and sixties looked like. Well, I mean that was probably
Speaker 2: the last time. I don't even know if Again, his
Speaker 2: complaint is that the technology isn't new enough. My complaint
Speaker 2: is that it's happening at all. So look at nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: It's a universal extermination vaccine.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: All of these vaccines are meant to harm you in
Speaker 2: some way. All of them are there to destroy your body.
Speaker 2: None of them are there to actually do what they say.
Speaker 2: A bit of a side tangent here, but one of
Speaker 2: the things that always gets me is when you talk
Speaker 2: about medical conspiracy, people act as if like, oh, you
Speaker 2: think they're paying off every single doctor. You think that
Speaker 2: black suv rolls up and they cart out barrels of
Speaker 2: money to the nurses in the hospitals and the doctors.
Speaker 2: And it's like, no, you don't need to pay off
Speaker 2: every single doctor. In fact, you need to pay off
Speaker 2: relatively few people if in fact you're actually paying off
Speaker 2: any of them. What you do is you make sure
Speaker 2: that grants only go towards things that you deem useful
Speaker 2: for your agenda. You quash research that is moving in
Speaker 2: ways that you don't like. You insert specific people with
Speaker 2: a certain ideology in the halls of academia, and it
Speaker 2: takes a very, very relative few people to ensure that
Speaker 2: science only moves in the direction you want. It is
Speaker 2: not difficult to control this sort of things. It does
Speaker 2: not require millions upon millions of people working in concert.
Speaker 2: It requires a minimal amount to control this sort of thing.
Speaker 5: People think that the bribing of doctors, is you know,
Speaker 5: some pharma executive slipping some guy in a white coat
Speaker 5: a few hundred bucks in the back room. But really
Speaker 5: it's more institutionalized. It's the not getting published. If you
Speaker 5: question their official narrative. It's all the like you said,
Speaker 5: the grants and all that that are driving it, only
Speaker 5: in the way that is most profitable for big pharma.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: All they have to do is control the funding in
Speaker 2: a specific direction, and it makes it incredibly difficult to
Speaker 2: research any of these things. Brian de McCartney, we are
Speaker 2: not vaccine deficient. No, again, what is it By the
Speaker 2: time a child is three, I believe it's seventy six vaccines.
Speaker 2: They want to give your child seventy six seventy six
Speaker 2: different vaccines full of all kinds of chemicals that are
Speaker 2: potentially damaging or life ending. These people know what they're doing.
Speaker 2: My dad has told the story before, but I forget
Speaker 2: the name of the nurse, but she was in the
Speaker 2: uh you know, the natal ICU, and they knew that
Speaker 2: when they had a premi that was born, that if
Speaker 2: they gave them vaccines that they would crash. That they're
Speaker 2: you know, they would flat line, and they would need
Speaker 2: to be resuscitated, and it would take you know, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, they would have to prep the crash cart.
Speaker 2: There wasn't a discussion of well, maybe we don't give
Speaker 2: them the vaccines. It was, oh, well, you know, we'll
Speaker 2: resuscitate them, we'll bring them back if we can. It
Speaker 2: was never a matter of well we just won't give
Speaker 2: them the vaccines. You would think at minimum these people
Speaker 2: could be convinced to hold off, but no, even knowing
Speaker 2: what it was doing to a baby, that it would
Speaker 2: cause them to you know, crash and flat line and
Speaker 2: have to be resuscitated, they would still do it. These
Speaker 2: people have been so thoroughly brainwashed and have such a
Speaker 2: callous to regard for life and the most vulnerable lives.
Speaker 2: It is utterly disgusting to see.
Speaker 5: Sure, seventy six vaccines is a lot, but you know,
Speaker 5: seventy seven is just such a nice round number. It's
Speaker 5: lucky sounding. And I'm sure we can trust Trump who
Speaker 5: brought us the COVID warp speed vaccine, to be sure
Speaker 5: that this one is going to be the good and
Speaker 5: healthy vaccine.
Speaker 2: Of course, this one is going to be sugar water.
Speaker 2: It'll be just so pleasant. They'll come in. You'll be
Speaker 2: served a nice little mohito while you wait. It'll be
Speaker 2: a lovely, lovely experience as you get your universal flu vaccine.
Speaker 5: Right, give us any free donuts or burgers with this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I wonder what sort of bribery will be involved, A
Speaker 2: pricey bet on a single approach. And then there's the
Speaker 2: price tag five hundred million. I mean that to me,
Speaker 2: based on the spending that our government, that sounds like
Speaker 2: a bargain. Only five hundred million, half a billion dollars.
Speaker 2: I mean, we can spend that in our sleep. Folks,
Speaker 2: you're bulking at half a billion dollars? When is this
Speaker 2: the America I've come to know and dread. Come on, folks,
Speaker 2: half a billion. That's nothing. That's nothing. We give that
Speaker 2: to Israel?
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: Uh, if I say we give it, we could do
Speaker 2: We could do that again right now. We wouldn't even notice.
Speaker 2: There's a price tag five hundred million, which is a
Speaker 2: huge amount, sky knows nothing, huge amount. Come on, get
Speaker 2: it together.
Speaker 1: Half a bit.
Speaker 2: Who are you at a bulk at half a billion dollars?
Speaker 2: Especially at a time when federal health research funding is
Speaker 2: being slashed. The money that was originally earmarked to help
Speaker 2: explore a variety of technology for next generation COVID nineteen vaccines.
Speaker 2: This amount of money is astronomical. It is foolish to
Speaker 2: put that much money onto one technology, says Rick Bright,
Speaker 2: a former federal vaccine expert who is now a private consultant. Well,
Speaker 2: you know that man is making money hand over fist.
Speaker 2: Going into a private consultancy after being a federal employee
Speaker 2: is usually a way of paying you off for what
Speaker 2: you did for the company during your tenure, Zoro seventy.
Speaker 2: To use NA is like trying communism again because last
Speaker 2: time it wasn't done the right way. That's right, folks,
Speaker 2: real mRNA has never been tried yet. We just have
Speaker 2: to try mRNA one more time, and this time we'll
Speaker 2: get it right.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: No more damaging hearts, no more blood clots, just good
Speaker 2: old fashioned DNA alteration like your grandma used to get.
Speaker 2: As American as apple pie and eight legged rats in
Speaker 2: the subway of New York. Another aspect that's raising eyebrows
Speaker 2: is the fact that the technology called a beta propio lactone.
Speaker 2: Whoever names these things do they speak English? In a
Speaker 2: debated whole virus platform was developed by two NIH scientists,
Speaker 2: doctor Matthew Mimoli and doctor Jeffrey Tobin. Memoli was recently
Speaker 2: named as the Principal Deputy Director of the NIH after
Speaker 2: serving as Trump's acting NIH director. Tobenberger was recently named
Speaker 2: acting director of the nationalis Student of Allergy Infectious Diseases.
Speaker 2: Tobenberger holds a patent on the technology. Ah, I wonder
Speaker 2: if that could have something to do with it. You
Speaker 2: hold a patent on the technology that the government is
Speaker 2: going to be using to create a universal flu vaccine.
Speaker 2: Imagine that is worth a lot a lot of money,
Speaker 2: perhaps even half a billion dollars. Well, again, the main
Speaker 2: point is just that Trump has learned nothing, and that
Speaker 2: is not a surprise to me. That is, in fact,
Speaker 2: exactly what I would have expected, given that he gave
Speaker 2: us the warp speed vaccine. But he is now pushing
Speaker 2: for a universal flu vaccine, a vaccine that undoubtedly they
Speaker 2: will push on everyone for every reason, and only later
Speaker 2: will we find out the sheer number of people that
Speaker 2: are being damaged by the sheer number of people that
Speaker 2: are being killed by it. They do this over and
Speaker 2: over where they create a horror and double down on it.
Speaker 2: Instead of admit fault. Zen woman right, the top administration.
Speaker 2: Top administrators were paid and the staff who didn't comply
Speaker 2: were disposable.
Speaker 1: That is correct.
Speaker 2: They get rid of the people that do not play
Speaker 2: ball with them, and it is incredibly easy for them
Speaker 2: to do so. So I then goy power is top down,
Speaker 2: like a pyramid. You don't need a grand conspiracy including everyone.
Speaker 2: The top gives the order and the rest follow. That's right.
Speaker 2: If you inculcate ethos of just taking directive and of
Speaker 2: continual just worship and bowing down to authority, you never
Speaker 2: have to bribe anyone. They simply will not question it
Speaker 2: at all. Oudy mmr audy.
Speaker 1: Good to see you.
Speaker 2: I hope you're doing well. Some areas, it's ninety vaccines
Speaker 2: for children. Absolutely outrageous that parents are allowing this.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: It is mind boggling. You'd think at some point they
Speaker 2: would look at even just the sheer number of it
Speaker 2: and go, this seems like a lot, you know, just
Speaker 2: thinking about it. Logically, the previous generation didn't receive nearly
Speaker 2: this number of vaccines, and they seemed to be healthier,
Speaker 2: you know, just on that level, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: Doesn't make sense. Logically, it is truly insane to me
Speaker 2: that people are so incredibly willing to just follow orders
Speaker 2: and stick their children with these horrific chemicals, with these
Speaker 2: horrific side effects. I mean, when I was young, we
Speaker 2: went to church with I believe over all the years
Speaker 2: we went to church, there were two kids that had autism.
Speaker 2: And now, you know, I see so many. I don't
Speaker 2: go out frequently anymore, but when I do, it's you know,
Speaker 2: not uncommon to see, you know, one of those kids,
Speaker 2: child that is clearly damaged out in public. You know,
Speaker 2: they've got their you know, big headphones on to prevent
Speaker 2: some sort of auditory stimulus from you know, affecting them,
Speaker 2: and they're locked into an iPad or something, or they're
Speaker 2: being led by the hand and by their parents. And
Speaker 2: you know, these are kids that are obviously, you know,
Speaker 2: close to being teenagers or are teenagers, and that just
Speaker 2: wasn't something you saw when I was young, and just
Speaker 2: on the face of it, it is obvious what is happening,
Speaker 2: and they continually obfus, skate and say, oh, it's the
Speaker 2: rapid rise in case numbers is because we're better at diagnoses,
Speaker 2: and you know, diagnosis might account for a small increase,
Speaker 2: maybe you get a little bit better at figuring out,
Speaker 2: you know, what it actually is, and so you're able
Speaker 2: to find it a little bit more frequently. But it
Speaker 2: does not account for the you know, straight up spike
Speaker 2: in case numbers that just it obviously doesn't make sense,
Speaker 2: and the fact that they're able to get away with
Speaker 2: it by just hand waving it shows how utterly unthinking
Speaker 2: and uncritical the American people have become over time, and
Speaker 2: it's worrying. It's concerning trump Berger. Vaccines are the biggest
Speaker 2: money maker at medical offices, like making people come for
Speaker 2: an oil change. That's true.
Speaker 1: The we were.
Speaker 2: We were very lucky to find a excellent doctor in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 2: They still will ask you if you'd like to vaccinate,
Speaker 2: but they don't push it. We have said no, and
Speaker 2: they have gone hands off, like, all right, parents don't
Speaker 2: want it, we won't ask you about it again, and
Speaker 2: we're very thankful for that. But in the pamphlet she
Speaker 2: hands out, so you have to pay to be a
Speaker 2: member of her practice so that you can see her.
Speaker 2: And the reason she explains is that I'm sure many
Speaker 2: of you know this, but in case you don't, vaccine
Speaker 2: companies and insurance companies pay bonuses to doctors' offices that
Speaker 2: have a certain over a certain percentage of their customers vaccinated.
Speaker 2: And so to offset the fact that a lot of
Speaker 2: her customers she doesn't meet the requirement, don't vaccinate their children,
Speaker 2: she has you pay a fee to be a member
Speaker 2: of her practice. And so that is the sort of
Speaker 2: thing you have to do, because she was talking to
Speaker 2: us and said that, you know, she's seen so many
Speaker 2: of her other colleagues just you know, either you know,
Speaker 2: fold and require vaccination or just be put out of
Speaker 2: business by these people because they cannot maintain a living wage.
Speaker 2: And so that is what they are doing. They're rapidly
Speaker 2: crushing doctors that refuse to play ball with them. Nights
Speaker 2: of the storm. Parents are not aware of the number
Speaker 2: of shots their kids you're getting, because they frequently bundle
Speaker 2: several into one shot. That is a fair point to make. Yes,
Speaker 2: they will routinely combine many of these vaccines into one
Speaker 2: and so your child gets hammered with a massive dose
Speaker 2: of different chemicals and viruses or whatever. You know, whether
Speaker 2: you believe in viruses or not, that's what they claim
Speaker 2: they are putting in them, and your child is getting
Speaker 2: hit with a bunch of them all at once. Chambers, Nancy.
Speaker 2: My book club ninety five percent young teachers, and they
Speaker 2: love vaccines and are critical of anyone who won't vax
Speaker 2: kids and blame any illness on the anti vax and
Speaker 2: accuse them of spreading disease. Yeah, that's that's always how
Speaker 2: it is. And it's continually again just funny in the
Speaker 2: fact that if the vaccine works, then they're only a
Speaker 2: threat to themselves. However, they are continually scared that, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm going to get it or they're going to give
Speaker 2: it to another kid, And just if the other kid
Speaker 2: is vaccinated, then surely they're protected, right, surely they are
Speaker 2: just exercising their own personal freedoms, and you are just
Speaker 2: angry about that. But it's always cloaked in this, Oh,
Speaker 2: but you know they're going to hurt someone else. They're
Speaker 2: going to do this, They're going to do that. It's
Speaker 2: for the greater good. The greater good is almost it
Speaker 2: is literally always what is used to justify the greatest horrors,
Speaker 2: and so we see that time and time again, this
Speaker 2: hatred and contempt for people that exercise their ability to
Speaker 2: use critical thinking and not just bow to the fear.
Speaker 2: And this article again from MPR, and I just found
Speaker 2: it slightly funny. This won't be one recover for long,
Speaker 2: but it was just entertaining to me. The Oscar of
Speaker 2: Food prizes goes to a Brazilian who harnessed the power
Speaker 2: of bacteria. Good, good, good, whatever, Marianne Gella Hungria. That's
Speaker 2: literally it. That's just the scientist's name is Hungria and
Speaker 2: she's involved with food. That was it. That's the entire joke.
Speaker 2: I found it entertaining. You know, sometimes life is a
Speaker 2: little bit funny like that. You get an a, you
Speaker 2: get named Hungria, and you go into food. That's you know,
Speaker 2: a little bit of comedy. That's the sort of thing
Speaker 2: I find funny, Folks. My sense of humor has been utterly,
Speaker 2: utterly ruined by time on the internet. But this I
Speaker 2: found to be a hopeful story. This is from Clash Daily.
Speaker 2: Sorry Dawkins, young men are tiring of your christless secularism.
Speaker 2: The vaunted four horsemen of New Atheism are not what
Speaker 2: they used to be. Remember how the March of atheism
Speaker 2: was treated as inevitable by the New atheists of a
Speaker 2: decade ago. Post COVID new atheism is in disarray, while
Speaker 2: the church is on the march. The really wild part
Speaker 2: that would sit their head spinning. Gen Z has been
Speaker 2: leading the charge for years. Pew Research has been tracking
Speaker 2: trends on the religious habits and convictions of people across
Speaker 2: a variety of demographics for years. They have tracking a
Speaker 2: year over year decline. Yes, it's something I've noticed personally,
Speaker 2: is that there are fewer and fewer young people in
Speaker 2: the churches that I've gone to over the years. The
Speaker 2: church has become the domain of the middle aged and
Speaker 2: the elderly as time has gone on. And I'm glad
Speaker 2: to see and I'm hopeful that this is true. And
Speaker 2: if it is, that is a good sign that the
Speaker 2: next generation is realizing that this empty, angry atheism will
Speaker 2: only leave you bitter, It will not provide you with anything,
Speaker 2: and in the end, it will lead you straight to hell.
Speaker 2: And I think part of that is they're able to
Speaker 2: see the fruits that is borne in our culture. The
Speaker 2: ascendancy of atheism has coincided with the decline of every
Speaker 2: nation across the globe. The church is was part of
Speaker 2: what built all these nations. The strong faith of the
Speaker 2: people that were involved with the rising of the West.
Speaker 2: And I don't just mean people, you know, the founding fathers.
Speaker 2: I know I'm going to have people saying me, oh,
Speaker 2: they weren't Christian, they were this, they were that. I
Speaker 2: mean the common people, the faith of the common people
Speaker 2: that were on the ground just working. When a nation,
Speaker 2: when the people of a nation are devoted to God, he,
Speaker 2: you know, will bless that nation. It is not about
Speaker 2: whether your leader is a Christian or whether your leader.
Speaker 1: Is this or that.
Speaker 2: It can be a blessing to have a Christian leader,
Speaker 2: but what's more important is that the people themselves are
Speaker 2: devoted to God. And as the people have become more
Speaker 2: atheistic and self serving or you know, anything else, we
Speaker 2: have seen the rapid, rapid decline of these Western nations
Speaker 2: and just the horrors it is unleashed on the the
Speaker 2: people of the American people. Stunning stat gen Zers, especially
Speaker 2: gen Z Men, are actually more likely to attend weekly
Speaker 2: religious services than millennials and even some younger gen xers
Speaker 2: Berg's analysis shows that's good news. I am again, I'm
Speaker 2: very hopeful for this. This is a very good sign.
Speaker 2: Not and again, this isn't something about oh, I think
Speaker 2: this would be good for politics. This is good for
Speaker 2: the you know, people who are going to church, who
Speaker 2: are finding Jesus. Whether this impacts politics at all, this
Speaker 2: is impacting something much more important. This is the souls
Speaker 2: of the people involved. They are finding Christ and that
Speaker 2: is what truly matters. Politics passes away. All of this
Speaker 2: is truly you know, it impacts our daily lives, but
Speaker 2: it will be meaningless in the end. You know, we
Speaker 2: should fight evil because we are called to, but we
Speaker 2: should realize that there is a much greater world outside
Speaker 2: of this that we will all one day be a
Speaker 2: part of. Between the lines, young men are leading America's
Speaker 2: religion resurgence. Within older generations, there's a consistent gender gap
Speaker 2: among Christians, with women more likely to be religious than men.
Speaker 2: But gen Z the gap is closed as young men
Speaker 2: join the church and young women leave it. If the
Speaker 2: current trajectory sticks, the gender gap will flip.
Speaker 1: Zoom in.
Speaker 2: Many young people have turned to religion defined community and
Speaker 2: connection after the isolating years of the pandemic, which hit
Speaker 2: gen Z harder than most. Yes, I've heard many, many
Speaker 2: stories of how utterly isolating and alone the pandemic was
Speaker 2: for the younger generation, How they had their childhood effectively
Speaker 2: stolen from them. How they got to watch you know,
Speaker 2: maybe an older family member, whether an older brother or
Speaker 2: sister or cousin, you know, get to enjoy socialization. And
Speaker 2: you know, I don't like public school. Well I will
Speaker 2: not put our children in public school. But you know,
Speaker 2: they got to see them have that social aspect of
Speaker 2: it and to hang out with friends and to go
Speaker 2: you know, play sports or whatever it was. And then
Speaker 2: it was taken from them right as they hit high school,
Speaker 2: or you know, right before then or mid high school.
Speaker 2: And how isolating and lonely and bitter it has made them,
Speaker 2: How it has made them incapable of relating to other people,
Speaker 2: How it has hurt them psychologically in such deep and
Speaker 2: profound ways. You know, it is a giant psychological experiment
Speaker 2: that has been perpetrated, and it is radically, radically impacted
Speaker 2: the younger generations who didn't have a chance to form
Speaker 2: friend groups or have a chance to you know, get
Speaker 2: to know people before then. You know, that totally took
Speaker 2: that from them. At a time when so many Christians
Speaker 2: have been echoing the duck and covered fetism of the
Speaker 2: late Great planet Earth. The group is rising up with
Speaker 2: a very different attitude. And it's EXAs exactly the kind
Speaker 2: of attitude shift that you might expect to see the
Speaker 2: leading edge of a time where faith convictions begin awakening.
Speaker 2: Dear young Christian male, this book you're about to read
Speaker 2: is okay, well, this is a plug for a book.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about it, but uh, you know again,
Speaker 2: this is just incredibly hopeful to me that more people
Speaker 2: are returning to Christ. And as I said before, whether
Speaker 2: it impacts politics or not, this impacts their eternal souls.
Speaker 2: And that is a much much more important thing. It
Speaker 2: is eternally important. It is infinitely more important. That's what
Speaker 2: truly matters. So you know what, you know, who's making
Speaker 2: a comeback? Someone that I would have never expected, someone
Speaker 2: that I have come to loathe. Pete Buddha. Judge holds
Speaker 2: town hall in Iowa amid speculation of presidential ambitions. And
Speaker 2: look at our little PD here. He's grown himself a beard.
Speaker 2: He's ted cruz maxing. He's realized that he's got a
Speaker 2: little bit of a rat face and as such can't
Speaker 2: be taken seriously. He looks much more like a real
Speaker 2: boy with a beard grown. Don't you think, folks, I
Speaker 2: think this the beard, more than the town halls, is
Speaker 2: an indication of presidential desire. The town halls, you know,
Speaker 2: every politician does that sort of thing from time to time.
Speaker 2: The beard is what is the tell? He took a
Speaker 2: page from Ted Cruz's book and was like, well, you know,
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz looks better with a beard, and Ted Cruz
Speaker 2: is you know, he's a very oily, slimy looking individual.
Speaker 2: If it can help Ted Cruz, it can surely work
Speaker 2: for me. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buda Judge held a
Speaker 2: town hall in the influential early contest state of Iowa
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, potentially fueling added speculation about another presidential run
Speaker 2: for the prominent Democrat. Now again, I don't think Boota
Speaker 2: Judge can win, but I think that's perhaps based solely
Speaker 2: on optimism. I don't have any hard facts or statistics
Speaker 2: on that, but I would just like to think that
Speaker 2: someone as conniving and unlikable as Boothae Judge would be
Speaker 2: seen through by the American people. It is, however, my
Speaker 2: judgment is not often right in these things. I often
Speaker 2: put too much faith in the American people because what
Speaker 2: can I say? I'm an optimist, Butta Judge held the
Speaker 2: town hall with Vote Vets, a progressive political action committee
Speaker 2: advocating and issues like national security and veterans' care and
Speaker 2: cedar rapids, marking the first time he's been back to
Speaker 2: Iowa since the end of the Biden administration. The former
Speaker 2: twenty twenty presidential candidate noted that he's not currently a
Speaker 2: public official, nor is he actively running for office, and
Speaker 2: called on officials to take part more events like this one,
Speaker 2: so he will definitely be running again.
Speaker 3: Folks.
Speaker 2: He is going to be back out there and we're
Speaker 2: going to have to see him in the public eye
Speaker 2: once more once the next election starts. Here's a secondary
Speaker 2: take on it from CNN, but it just holds veterans
Speaker 2: focus town element in Iowa amid twenty twenty eight speculation.
Speaker 2: Another thing that always bothers me is veterans issues tend
Speaker 2: to be completely ignored until it can be used as
Speaker 2: political football one way or the other. You know, promises
Speaker 2: are made during an election cycle, and like all their
Speaker 2: other promises, they get completely ignored. And personally, however I
Speaker 2: feel about the wars that they were involved in, I
Speaker 2: think we made a promise to them a promise that
Speaker 2: we must keep if we have a contract. If you
Speaker 2: have a contract with someone, you have to honor it.
Speaker 1: And while I.
Speaker 2: Do not support the wars, I do not support the
Speaker 2: did not support the Iraq Afghanistan war, and I think
Speaker 2: the American military has been a tool for much destruction
Speaker 2: around the world. I do not believe that the individual
Speaker 2: people involved in it are evil. I believe that they
Speaker 2: bought into some really terrible propaganda and really thought that
Speaker 2: they were going to make a difference and change the
Speaker 2: world for the better. There are, of course exceptions to that,
Speaker 2: but I believe that those are the exceptions. I don't
Speaker 2: believe there are a majority of people that join the
Speaker 2: American military because they simply want to be killers. I
Speaker 2: think many of them were just sold a bill of goods,
Speaker 2: and as such they are to be you know, they
Speaker 2: are to be at most pitied, but we should still
Speaker 2: honor the contract we have with them. Zoro seventy. Who
Speaker 2: am I to judge morals of founding fathers? Like Paul said,
Speaker 2: even if one preaches God's word out of spite, at
Speaker 2: least it gets preached that is true. That is true.
Speaker 2: God's word can work through anyone, whether they believe it
Speaker 2: or not. If they if they even say the Gospel,
Speaker 2: it has power. That's the truth of it. God's word
Speaker 2: is supernatural. God is a God of miracles. He is
Speaker 2: not bound or constrained by the laws of the universe.
Speaker 2: He is above and beyond them. All things are within
Speaker 2: his grasp.
Speaker 5: Also, people talk about the Founding Father's religion, and they'll
Speaker 5: always bring up, like Jefferson cutting bits out of the Bible.
Speaker 5: And that was more the exception than the rule. Most
Speaker 5: of the Founding Fathers were Christian, and as you said,
Speaker 5: the culture itself was strongly Christian or else, you know,
Speaker 5: the Constitution wouldn't be endowed by our creator with certain
Speaker 5: inalienable rights. And it even Jefferson, at least he cared
Speaker 5: what was in the Bible enough to you know, make
Speaker 5: his own version of it. That's not great, but at
Speaker 5: least he's not. Oh yeah, I really liked that Two Corinthians.
Speaker 2: Yes, the entire culture was steeped in, you know, at
Speaker 2: least the the ideology and the verbiage of Christianity. Even
Speaker 2: if they didn't believe it themselves, they still were surrounded
Speaker 2: by it and had their actions modified by the sense
Speaker 2: that they had to appeal to a people that were
Speaker 2: heavily Christian. Now moving on to this story coming out
Speaker 2: of the UK. This is on CNN. Man wrongfully jailed
Speaker 2: for nearly four decades weeps as UK court overturns murder conviction. Man,
Speaker 2: you spent nearly four decades in a British prison, British
Speaker 2: prison in the killing of a bar maid, said he
Speaker 2: was not angry or bitter Tuesday as his murder conviction
Speaker 2: was overturned. He was released after being exonerated by Dnadence.
Speaker 2: Now why do I bring this up. I bring this
Speaker 2: up because I think this illustrates the importance of due
Speaker 2: process for everyone. Assumably they did everything right. They followed
Speaker 2: the letter of the law, they followed their protocols.
Speaker 1: They.
Speaker 2: Did everything they could to get the right man and
Speaker 2: to do it the right way, and they still got
Speaker 2: it wrong. This man was locked up for nearly forty years.
Speaker 2: And this is what can happen even when you follow
Speaker 2: the procedures that are in place meant to protect people.
Speaker 2: These are the sort of mistakes that can happen when
Speaker 2: they are committed to doing the right thing when it
Speaker 2: comes to upholding the rule of law. Imagine how bad
Speaker 2: it can get if we discard due process. This can
Speaker 2: very very easily become the norm. This can when they
Speaker 2: don't have to do due process, when they don't have
Speaker 2: to check, and when the government is committed to obfuscating
Speaker 2: and hiding what really happened and who people really are,
Speaker 2: this can become the norm. It can happen to you,
Speaker 2: It could happen to me. This is why we have
Speaker 2: to care about due process for everyone. And again, I
Speaker 2: think a very strong case could be made that Abrago
Speaker 2: Garcia is a bad guy that needs to go. But
Speaker 2: I think that case does need to be made. We're all, folks,
Speaker 2: It seems like we might be having some technical difficulties
Speaker 2: justin Yeah, we're going to take a quick break, just
Speaker 2: in case as we get this figured out.
Speaker 4: Thank you, folks.
Speaker 9: We see in our home, my boys, we're all can
Speaker 9: see it with our devotion. Boys, call it the liberty tree.
Speaker 9: It's a tall lo tree and the strong ble tree.
Speaker 8: And we are the sons.
Speaker 9: Yes, we are the sons, the sons of liberty.
Speaker 1: Liberty. It's your move. You're listening to the David Night Show.
Speaker 2: Well, welcome back, folks. Apparently we were offline for a
Speaker 2: minute there. We're not entirely sure what happened. It just
Speaker 2: dropped the connection, So if I had to guess, I
Speaker 2: would say it was some kind of Internet outage on
Speaker 2: our part briefly, or perhaps the system, the service that
Speaker 2: we use to feed all these streams, may have had
Speaker 2: some kind of internal issue. But hopefully we're back and
Speaker 2: you're hearing us, and well, I don't know where we
Speaker 2: cut out, so it's hard for me to say, but
Speaker 2: I hopefully you heard what I had to say about
Speaker 2: the man wrongfully convicted and why it's important. Now we're
Speaker 2: going to look at this article off of Tennessee Star.
Speaker 2: Nonprofit received nearly three million in government grants before donating
Speaker 2: to Nashville Nashville Fund for Illegal Immigrants. I don't understand
Speaker 2: how my dad talks for three hours and makes so
Speaker 2: few mistakes. I feel as though I mess up every
Speaker 2: other word. Prior to its recent donation to the Belonging Fund,
Speaker 2: a new initiative established by Nashville Mayor Freddie o'connells Illegal
Speaker 2: Immigrants followed a joint law enforcement operation between the Tennessee
Speaker 2: Highway Patrol THHP and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE.
Speaker 2: The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition TRRC received nearly
Speaker 2: three million in government grants since twenty twenty. TRRC has
Speaker 2: condemned the recent immigration enforcement in Nashville that has been
Speaker 2: that has seen more than one hundred arrests, claiming law
Speaker 2: enforcement was kidnapping our people off the street based on
Speaker 2: nothing but the color of their skin. The group's opposition
Speaker 2: to immigration enforcement led it to donate more than thirty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars alongside other groups, to the Belonging Fund. The
Speaker 2: mayor's office explained that the fund is a financial resource
Speaker 2: created by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee CFM. I
Speaker 2: think we're getting out of hand with initialism's, folks. Not
Speaker 2: everything needs to be condensed down to an initialism. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you can just have a name and it's okay. In
Speaker 2: conjunction with the Metro Nashville government to supper immigrants in
Speaker 2: Nashville during moments of crisis, isn't that sweet of them?
Speaker 2: I'm sure that money couldn't be going to more important things,
Speaker 2: more useful things, or things that could better the the
Speaker 2: state of America. Announced by O'Connell last week, the mayor's
Speaker 2: office said the fund will provide assistance to immigrants who
Speaker 2: face sudden destabilizing changes through providing financial resources to nonprofit
Speaker 2: organizations offering emergency assistance. That's the thing, folks, is America
Speaker 2: should be for Americans first. That is, it's as simple
Speaker 2: as that. I am of the opinion that we should
Speaker 2: not accept any more immigrants until things have stabilized and
Speaker 2: we have figured things out. The America is more than
Speaker 2: an economic zone. It is a specific people. It is
Speaker 2: a specific culture, and if you drown that out, you
Speaker 2: lose America. If I were to suddenly, you know, uproot
Speaker 2: all the people in China and swap them with the
Speaker 2: people in Japan, the geographical area would still be the same,
Speaker 2: but it would effectively switch which countries were which You
Speaker 2: cannot import an infinite number of other cultures and keep
Speaker 2: your culture intact. We are not the same country we
Speaker 2: were even twenty years ago. We're not the same country
Speaker 2: at all that we were fifty years ago. It is
Speaker 2: a fractious, divided nation that we have become, and it
Speaker 2: is largely because of the continua Well maybe not now
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it largely because of the continued
Speaker 2: import of people that do not have shared values this
Speaker 2: is from the federalist Trump is right to prioritize refugees
Speaker 2: who will make better Americans. Yes, there are cultures across
Speaker 2: the globe that are more and more cohesive with the
Speaker 2: culture we already have, and it is no shame to
Speaker 2: prioritize people that meet assistance from these cultures that will
Speaker 2: more seamlessly integrate with our own. On Monday, dozens of
Speaker 2: South Africans, primarily white Afrikaner farmers, arrived in the United
Speaker 2: States having been granted refuge status by the refugee status
Speaker 2: by the Trump administration. The propaganda pressure excuse me by
Speaker 2: implicitly accusing the administration of hypocrisy and racial bias. Yet
Speaker 2: this criticism is not only disingenuous, it reflects a fundamental
Speaker 2: misunderstanding of the purpose and limits of America's refugee and
Speaker 2: asylum policies. If we are going to take in every
Speaker 2: single person from the cross the globe who could potentially
Speaker 2: claim that they are in danger or that their country
Speaker 2: is falling apart and they need some place to go,
Speaker 2: it will never end. It will be a constant flood,
Speaker 2: a outpouring of people that will wash across America and
Speaker 2: completely and utterly remake it. If simply coming from a
Speaker 2: bad country, a dangerous country, is enough to get you
Speaker 2: refugee status, then we cannot take refugees. It is as
Speaker 2: simple as that. There has to be a broader There
Speaker 2: has to be a smaller, more narrow criteria for who
Speaker 2: we take for this sort of thing. A new South
Speaker 2: African law means white farmers could have had their land
Speaker 2: taken away without being paid for it. Though framed as
Speaker 2: a correction to apartheid era injustice, the law has created
Speaker 2: an environment where racially motivated persecution may become institutionalized. In
Speaker 2: response to the Trump administration announced both an investigation into
Speaker 2: South Africa and the approval of refugee status for sixty
Speaker 2: individuals fleeing the persecution. And again, this is sixty individuals.
Speaker 2: They are screaming and crying about sixty individuals from a
Speaker 2: state that is currently basically sanctioning their rape and murder.
Speaker 1: But the flood.
Speaker 2: Across the borders is supposed to be ignored, if and celebrated.
Speaker 2: It is almost These people are evil, and it is
Speaker 2: simply because they hate the United States and want to
Speaker 2: see it collapse. They want to unmake it and reshape it.
Speaker 2: Into a purely economic zone where handouts are given to
Speaker 2: those they deem worthy. That is what this is about.
Speaker 2: The refugees will land in Virginia before taking up residences
Speaker 2: in ten states, according to The Washington Post. Teo Armis,
Speaker 2: writing for The Washington Post, frame the administration's decision as
Speaker 2: a racially charged exception Trump shut out refugees, but as
Speaker 2: making white South Africans an exception. It's also perhaps because
Speaker 2: they are in more direct danger than these other people are,
Speaker 2: because they are being targeted not just by random groups
Speaker 2: for violence, but by the state itself. They are persona
Speaker 2: non grata based on their identity in the country they
Speaker 2: are from. Months after the Trump administration ground usfugi admissions
Speaker 2: to a halt, suspending a program that lets in thousands
Speaker 2: of people fleeing war or political persecution. It is praying
Speaker 2: to restart that effort, but only for one group, White
Speaker 2: South Africans. Armus Road. He later contrasted this decision with
Speaker 2: the Trump administration stempt to halt the resettling of approximately
Speaker 2: twelve thousand people when district court judge ultimately ordered to
Speaker 2: be admitted to the country. And again, there are cultures
Speaker 2: that blend more easily with the American culture. The white
Speaker 2: South African culture is probably one of those. They are
Speaker 2: a conscientious, hard working people. They have four years put
Speaker 2: up with an outpouring of abuse and have stood up
Speaker 2: for liberty and they have fought hard for it, which
Speaker 2: is something that America used to be about. So yes,
Speaker 2: I'm all for that prioritize the South Africans.
Speaker 5: This really amazes me the amount of hypocrisy of we
Speaker 5: have to accept refugees from all these countries just because
Speaker 5: it's a poor country that they're from, or it's a
Speaker 5: high crime country that they're from, when these people are
Speaker 5: genuine refugees of a genuine genocide, and he takes in
Speaker 5: just sixty people, the tiniest drop in the bucket, both
Speaker 5: of the people that need refuge from their government in
Speaker 5: South Africa, and a tiny drop in the bucket in
Speaker 5: terms of the immigration that we see in America all
Speaker 5: the time. Every day, we get way more than that
Speaker 5: over the border, probably on a daily basis, And yet
Speaker 5: this is apparently a huge deal to these people. They
Speaker 5: cannot accept even just sixty people that need refuge. It
Speaker 5: really puts the lie to this whole compassionate thing. They
Speaker 5: putting the face of compassion on the cloud and Piven strategy.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I mean part of it is it boils
Speaker 2: downs to a lot. They specifically hate white people. They
Speaker 2: have a deep disdain for it because of their Marxist
Speaker 2: critical theory. And this article is coming out of The
Speaker 2: Guardian how driving lessons are helping Ohio's Haitians. Things are
Speaker 2: getting better. Landmark driving simulators are improving road safety and
Speaker 2: helping Springfield immigrants targeted by Trump officials.
Speaker 3: Well that's that's good.
Speaker 2: Now the Haitians can hop in their car and go
Speaker 2: drive to get the cats that they want to eat.
Speaker 2: Of course, we're just I'm so happy for the Haitians.
Speaker 2: They're learning to drive as opposed to just crashing into
Speaker 2: everyone and everything slowly and carefully. Bettina, who came from
Speaker 2: Haiti to Ohio in twenty twenty one, navig Toyota SUV
Speaker 2: between five traffic cones and a parking lot northwest of Springfield. Bettina,
Speaker 2: who works for a produce processing company, has never driven before,
Speaker 2: but now four years into life in Springfield, she has
Speaker 2: grasped the challenge of learning to drive. I live close
Speaker 2: to my job, so driving is not that big a deal,
Speaker 2: she says, But I'm taking these classes because I want
Speaker 2: to go to Columbus or Dayton. I can drive myself there.
Speaker 2: That's great. I cannot wait for these people to start
Speaker 2: taking longer road trips after being given the bare minimum
Speaker 2: instruction by someone that was hired by the federal government,
Speaker 2: who are known for hiring the hardest working people on
Speaker 2: the planet. Sitting in the passenger seat is a driving instructor,
Speaker 2: Jose Pierre, who came to Springfield two years ago, commonly
Speaker 2: delivering guidance in Haitian creole. Many Haitians had been complaining
Speaker 2: that when they took the driving test and failed, they
Speaker 2: were then sent to take the abbreviation to adult driver
Speaker 2: training online. But most of them don't speak English, Peer
Speaker 2: says later, Strike, you don't speak English, that's a big problem.
Speaker 2: If we have to continually put out all our resources
Speaker 2: in every language under the sun, so that the flood
Speaker 2: of immigrants can you know, get our driver, get driver's
Speaker 2: licenses or any other piece of documentation or whatever. This
Speaker 2: is just spreading everything so thin. Do we have to
Speaker 2: put out the driver's test in Haitian creole?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 2: Is that what we're going to have to do? Or
Speaker 2: are we're just going to have to hire how many
Speaker 2: more jose Piers on the public, you know, on the
Speaker 2: taxpayer's dime.
Speaker 5: Plus what language are the road signs written in? You know,
Speaker 5: that's kind of important. I know in some places they're
Speaker 5: also putting Spanish on that. Are we going to have
Speaker 5: the sort of thing where you have in instructions where
Speaker 5: there's a dozen different languages and you have to search
Speaker 5: for English.
Speaker 2: Yeah, instead of roadsigns, it'll just be a booklet that
Speaker 2: you have to flip through as you pass by it.
Speaker 2: But this is the consequence of multiculturalism. This is what
Speaker 2: it comes down to. We have to have our driving
Speaker 2: instructors speak Haitian creole in Springfield, Ohio. This is what
Speaker 2: comes of that. It leads to just utter insanity. By
Speaker 2: doing the in person course of the help of a
Speaker 2: creole speaker that helped them a lot. Yes, well, I'm
Speaker 2: sure there will always be a creole speaker on hand
Speaker 2: for when they have issues in the vehicle, or as
Speaker 2: Whistler pointed out, when they're driving down the road and
Speaker 2: they see a sign, or when they get pulled over
Speaker 2: by police. I'm sure the police speak Haitian Creole and
Speaker 2: won't have any sort of negative interaction with these people
Speaker 2: when they've driven from their resident area to someplace that
Speaker 2: does not have a large population of Haitians that speak Creole.
Speaker 2: I'm sure this will lead to only good things and
Speaker 2: not lead to many many negative interactions at all. For years,
Speaker 2: long time Springfield residents have shown up at city council
Speaker 2: meetings to complain to authorities about how Haitian drivers were
Speaker 2: allegedly allegedly I'm allegedly driving dangerously around the town. Stories
Speaker 2: emerger of people allegedly Haitians accidentally driving into church buildings,
Speaker 2: others were blamed for accidents causing deaths, and at one
Speaker 2: point this I get that in the media you have
Speaker 2: to say allegedly because you have to cover your rear
Speaker 2: end and good practice to some extent when saying these
Speaker 2: kinds of things. However, this feels more like an obfuscation
Speaker 2: of things. The fact that they need a person who
Speaker 2: speaks Haitian Creole to give them instruction is in itself
Speaker 2: a tacit admission that the Haitian drivers are bad, that
Speaker 2: they are bad drivers. If they were good drivers, there
Speaker 2: wouldn't be a need for a Haitian Creole instructor because
Speaker 2: they would just be getting away with it reached a
Speaker 2: point of such absurdity that the city itself had to
Speaker 2: hire someone that speaks their incredibly niche language and bring
Speaker 2: them in to teach them, because assumedly the people had
Speaker 2: had enough and it had reached a point of it
Speaker 2: reached a boiling point where it can no longer be tolerated.
Speaker 5: It's kind of funny that they're saying allegedly, these people
Speaker 5: that have absolutely no experience driving and just get pined
Speaker 5: the wheel for the first time in their lives aren't
Speaker 5: the best drivers, You think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really just kind of a prime facious sort
Speaker 2: of thing. The fact that this article exists is proof
Speaker 2: that the Haitians are not good drivers and in fact
Speaker 2: are causing chaos in Springfield, Ohio. This is just part
Speaker 2: of the insanity that comes with multiculturalism, and Haiti is
Speaker 2: such a nightmarish country.
Speaker 5: I wonder how many of them are looking for jobs
Speaker 5: driving eighteen wheelers like we saw at the beginning of
Speaker 5: the program.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure jose Pierre will have their back on that.
Speaker 2: He'll give them the lessons they need to be able
Speaker 2: to drive that eighteen wheeler. Anywhere they want to go.
Speaker 2: And I think we're going to take a quick break
Speaker 2: because my mouth and throat are incredibly dry, and we
Speaker 2: will be right back.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Speaker 2: Well, welcome back, folks, and thank you for still being
Speaker 2: here with us. And I just want to take this
Speaker 2: moment here to once again ask you to keep our
Speaker 2: dad in your prayers. As before, it has been extremely
Speaker 2: hard on him. He is a very independent person. He
Speaker 2: has always been one to question what people tell him
Speaker 2: and having to lie in a hospital bed and not
Speaker 2: be able to do things is really really hard on him.
Speaker 2: So please keep lifting him up and praying for healing,
Speaker 2: praying for a speedy recovery, praying that God would extend
Speaker 2: his mercy and give him peace and peace for our
Speaker 2: mom as well, as she has been just incredibly strong
Speaker 2: through all this and she has been there for him,
Speaker 2: help him with anything and everything that he needs. She
Speaker 2: is an incredible woman and an amazing wife and mother.
Speaker 2: We are so blessed to have them as our parents,
Speaker 2: and just again, please keep praying for him. Here is
Speaker 2: that I really love this picture so glad that I
Speaker 2: got to take it on my dad's birthday in fact,
Speaker 2: So from now on when I'm on the show, our
Speaker 2: son will be called Little David. You can refer to
Speaker 2: him as that if you want.
Speaker 4: But he really loves his Pappy.
Speaker 2: He's always so happy when he gets to hang out
Speaker 2: with him, play with him, spend time with him. So
Speaker 2: we are all so eager to have Dad back. Little
Speaker 2: David especially he misses him. When we took him to
Speaker 2: see him in the hospital, he was just so excited.
Speaker 2: He was smiling and giggling and just having a great time.
Speaker 2: Very glad to see Grammy and Pappy again.
Speaker 5: So I'd like to add to that a little bit
Speaker 5: more detail. Please pray for my dad's throat and tongue,
Speaker 5: especially during the operation. They had to move the nerve
Speaker 5: for his tongue out of the way, and he's been
Speaker 5: having some issues swallowing and that's made it very hard
Speaker 5: for him to sleep. He hasn't had basically any sleep
Speaker 5: since the operation on Monday because it's just really difficult
Speaker 5: for him to swallow, and that causes him to choke
Speaker 5: when he's trying to sleep. So please pray that he
Speaker 5: gets some good healing rest and that his throat recovers quickly.
Speaker 2: Yes, please continue to pray for all those things. And actually,
Speaker 2: since this is the David Knight Show, we are going
Speaker 2: to spend the rest of the show playing out some
Speaker 2: clips from him because we want to make sure that
Speaker 2: you guys still get the quality of information that you
Speaker 2: are used to. We're going to start with how homeschoolers
Speaker 2: need to be wary of federal funding and what that
Speaker 2: can mean. When the government comes with a wad of cash,
Speaker 2: there is generally a hook inside it. They are trying
Speaker 2: to get you on the line so that they can
Speaker 2: put their hooks in you and tell you what you
Speaker 2: have to do and what you must do to your children.
Speaker 2: It's going to start with that one, and then we
Speaker 2: are also going to talk about Tennessee and it's push
Speaker 2: to excuse Tennessee and SSRI pills. We talked about SSRIs
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier in the show, and this is
Speaker 2: how Tennessee is handling them. And then finally it is
Speaker 2: going to be the interview my dad did with Jay
Speaker 2: Warner Wallace. I always really enjoy the interviews with Jay Warner.
Speaker 2: I think he is a fantastic speaker, and just again
Speaker 2: the information is important and it's about the gospel, so
Speaker 2: that is more important than anything else. The most important
Speaker 2: thing you can do is give your life to Christ.
Speaker 2: So I want to make sure that we continue to
Speaker 2: honor what my dad has always tried to do and
Speaker 2: maintain that and give people that information and keep that
Speaker 2: at the forefront of things. So thank you all for
Speaker 2: tuning in today. Please keep my dad in your prayers,
Speaker 2: and we'll see you here tomorrow where Tony Orderburn will
Speaker 2: be joining us. Thank you all so much.
Speaker 7: A lot of states are now advancing tax funded choice
Speaker 7: quote unquote choice. Wasn't choice in education?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 7: Well, yes it is, but that's not what we're talking
Speaker 7: about here. We're talking about government funding. And what Alex
Speaker 7: Newman is trying to do is to warn home schooling
Speaker 7: families about the fact.
Speaker 1: That this is a trap.
Speaker 7: I should have put in a Admiral ackbar. It's a trap, right,
Speaker 7: This is what government money is a trap for home schoolers.
Speaker 7: And he talks about the fact this is coming from UNESCO.
Speaker 7: Their own documents show that they're trying to rope private
Speaker 7: schools and home schools into the government system. This is
Speaker 7: what UNESCO is saying. You can see their own documents.
Speaker 7: They want to expand so called choice programs and universal
Speaker 7: government funding of education. Now here's the parallel, right when
Speaker 7: we look at Trump getting rid of the Department of Education,
Speaker 7: I've always wanted to see the Department of Education gotten
Speaker 7: rid of. I want to see the government out of
Speaker 7: the education business, especially the federal government. I want to
Speaker 7: see the government at the state and local level out
Speaker 7: of education, but especially the federal government. They have no
Speaker 7: warrant for doing that at all in the Constitution. And
Speaker 7: yet what are you looking at with Trump. They're going
Speaker 7: to move the monetary functions, the grants and all the
Speaker 7: rest of the stuff, giving the money to states, giving
Speaker 7: the money to maybe private schools, even to homeschools, federal money. Right,
Speaker 7: all of that grant making capability, all that cash, all
Speaker 7: the bribery and subsequent blackmail when you don't do what
Speaker 7: they want, that bribery and blackmail, all that massive amount
Speaker 7: of money, which is the way the Department of Educations
Speaker 7: always work. Look, they understand that they don't have any
Speaker 7: authority to even exist under the Constitution. So how do
Speaker 7: they get people to do what they want? Well, they
Speaker 7: give them financial incentives to use No Child left Behind
Speaker 7: or whatever else that was what George W. Bush was selling.
Speaker 7: So they come up with one of their curriculum and
Speaker 7: they give you financial incentives to use that. They would
Speaker 7: like to now since it's been so discredited and people
Speaker 7: see the results of what's happened in the government schools,
Speaker 7: say oh, well, you can do better. You can have
Speaker 7: you can start your own charter schools or private schools
Speaker 7: or whatever, and we'll give you the money to do that.
Speaker 7: We'll even give money to the homeschoolers to do this.
Speaker 7: And what they'll do is they'll push their curriculum again.
Speaker 7: It'll be the same function you see, and so in
Speaker 7: the same way that the evil that the Department of
Speaker 7: Education is doing, it's really the bribery and the blackmail
Speaker 7: through the money, and that function is not going.
Speaker 1: To go away.
Speaker 7: They'll get rid of the bureaucracy, just like they get
Speaker 7: rid of the IRS agents and replace them with AI.
Speaker 7: They're going to get rid of the Department of Education.
Speaker 7: And everybody cheers Trump as a savior. And yet he'll
Speaker 7: take the money granting functions and he'll put them in
Speaker 7: different places and the money will still be coming from
Speaker 7: the federal government to control education and wait and see
Speaker 7: by oh well, Trump's going to help us with that. Well,
Speaker 7: you wait and see what happens. I mean, just take
Speaker 7: a look at what they do with the money again
Speaker 7: with the trainees. You know, when it's Obama and Biden,
Speaker 7: they pay them to put the trainees in the bathrooms
Speaker 7: and the showers, or I'm going to take your money away.
Speaker 7: Then when Trump comes in, he says, if you put
Speaker 7: them in the showers, in the bathrooms, I'm going to
Speaker 7: take your money away. And it's back and forth, back
Speaker 7: and forth, back and forth. Do you really want that
Speaker 7: kind of assistant? Do you really want to be bribed
Speaker 7: and blackmailed with your own money? Don't take the money
Speaker 7: and understand that just as getting rid of the so
Speaker 7: called Department of Education, but maintaining those functions, those supply
Speaker 7: lines of cash, the strings that they're going to use
Speaker 7: to control you, maintaining that is evil in the same
Speaker 7: way getting rid of the so called education bureaucracy and
Speaker 7: transferring all of that into private schools which are still
Speaker 7: going to have the funding from government and the controls
Speaker 7: and the strings and this is the curriculum we like,
Speaker 7: free to use, and YadA yadia. Doing all of that
Speaker 7: at the local level is the same thing that they're
Speaker 7: doing at the federal level with the Department of Education
Speaker 7: is making people think that there's a change when they
Speaker 7: maintain the lines of control, which are the money, follow
Speaker 7: the money. It's always about the money.
Speaker 3: Law.
Speaker 7: The program will offer five thousand dollars refundable tax credits
Speaker 7: to cover non government education expenses. Same thing happened in Tennessee.
Speaker 7: I talked about that, and he talks about it coming
Speaker 7: up here too. At Tennessee. You know, they they had
Speaker 7: this subsidy bill economic subsidy for private schools, charter schools
Speaker 7: and things like that, and wanted to push it out
Speaker 7: to homeschools, and the homeschoolers resisted, and so they came
Speaker 7: up and they said, all right, we'll offer you the
Speaker 7: Free Act, and we've heard you. If you don't want
Speaker 7: to take the money, well here's what we'll do. You
Speaker 7: support this bill for educational choice and the government handing
Speaker 7: out money to people which will be used to bribe
Speaker 7: and control and to blackmail them. You support that, and
Speaker 7: then we will pass the Free Acts, which says that
Speaker 7: if you don't take the government's money, they don't have
Speaker 7: you don't have to do anything with them. You don't
Speaker 7: have to declare that you're schooling your children. You don't
Speaker 7: have to do anything. What happened we had Republicans. Five
Speaker 7: Republicans worked with the Democrats to scuttle that in Tennessee.
Speaker 7: So we wound up with the money going out to
Speaker 7: control education, just like UNESCO the UN said to do,
Speaker 7: but not with the freedom to be left alone to
Speaker 7: educate your own children in Tennessee, says Alex. Alex Newman,
Speaker 7: not Alex. And Tennessee lawmakers recently approved universal ESA funds
Speaker 7: for families up to seven thousand dollars per student, and
Speaker 7: Idaho it's only five, here's seven thousand. Wyoming meanwhile expanded
Speaker 7: its program this year by eliminating income restrictions for eligibility,
Speaker 7: but opposition is now growing in Texas. Texas is the
Speaker 7: only major homeschool association that supports government funding of home education.
Speaker 7: The lone Star state is close to passing a major
Speaker 7: so called choice bill. The bill would send billions more
Speaker 7: to government schools. Now, let me tell you, I think
Speaker 7: that this is not unrelated to what's going on with
Speaker 7: the Fatalogulen people and the schools of science and math
Speaker 7: and all that stuff that mark hall Is documentary Killing Ed.
Speaker 7: He talks about what was happening with that organization, and
Speaker 7: I think that it's not any coincidence that you've got
Speaker 7: a major homeschool organization there that is pushing for more
Speaker 7: money to go into these things. Fatalagu lend people that
Speaker 7: Islamic cleric cultists. Of course, they were very clear to
Speaker 7: try to make it a secular school, but they're still
Speaker 7: bringing in people, paying them multiple times what they pay
Speaker 7: American teachers bringing him from Turkey, say what's their expertise?
Speaker 7: And the American teachers are saying they don't even know
Speaker 7: the math that they're trying to teach here, but they
Speaker 7: pay him like double the salary, and then these guys
Speaker 7: kick it back to the institute that's there. Mark Hall
Speaker 7: documented that very well and Killing Ed well, we talked
Speaker 7: about somebody that had to you know, was being attacked
Speaker 7: in a lot of different ways. He had to air
Speaker 7: gap his computer and all the rest of the stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 7: it's a great documentary. You used to see it, but
Speaker 7: I think it's nearly a billion dollars now that they're
Speaker 7: getting out of Texas for these schools being run by
Speaker 7: this Islamic cult. The galinists, and I think that that's
Speaker 7: one of the reasons why this is happening in Texas.
Speaker 7: All the rest of the homeschool associations and every other
Speaker 7: state are against this money out there because they know
Speaker 7: that people are going to accept that bribe and they
Speaker 7: know how it's going to be used. These bills weren't
Speaker 7: pushed by homeschoolers. They didn't originate from homeschooling. They're not
Speaker 7: organic to our movement because they are the opposite of
Speaker 7: what homeschooling has been about for the last fifty years.
Speaker 3: Book.
Speaker 7: These bills are about controlling home schoolers. It is a
Speaker 7: scheme to funnel taxpayer money to state approved curriculum providers.
Speaker 7: You see, if they fund it, they'll define it state
Speaker 7: approved curriculum providers and testing companies, while politicians pat themselves
Speaker 7: on the back for helping homeschoolers. So you'll go in
Speaker 7: and they'll say, well, okay, you're going to homeschool. We're
Speaker 7: not going to give you any help unless you use
Speaker 7: this curriculum. And if you use that curriculum, we'll pay
Speaker 7: for it and we'll give you some other money to
Speaker 7: that type of thing. That'll be the way that they
Speaker 7: incentivize it. They also singled out Texas Homeschool Coalition, the
Speaker 7: only major state association backing government funding for home education.
Speaker 7: They singled them out for special criticism. They said, government strings,
Speaker 7: testing state approved curriculum, et cetera, are the opposite of winning,
Speaker 7: the opposite of winning, and all this stuff is going
Speaker 7: to still be there with the Department of Education. Everybody's
Speaker 7: gonna say, look at that Trump got rid of the
Speaker 7: Department of Education. Well, of course he put the woman
Speaker 7: who was in charge of professional wrestling, and this getting
Speaker 7: rid of the Department of Education is as phony as
Speaker 7: professional wrestling. That's probably why he got Linda McMahon in there.
Speaker 7: They're close to one hundred bills in twenty nine states
Speaker 7: so far this year that would create, expand, revise, or
Speaker 7: change school choice. P You see, homeschooling is exploding, and
Speaker 7: so are the bills to undermine it, to subvert it.
Speaker 7: One hundred bills in twenty nine states to take over
Speaker 7: homeschooling by financial means, that's what this is truly about. Well,
Speaker 7: Yenesco is encouraging governments everywhere, says Alex Newman, to offer
Speaker 7: tax funding to non state education providers with government money
Speaker 7: comes government control, Conservatives instinctively understood, says Alex Newman. The
Speaker 7: universal healthcare, hillary Care, the universal basic income were dangerous
Speaker 7: as well. Yet when it comes to universal government funding
Speaker 7: for education, there has been a shocking degree of naivete
Speaker 7: among Republicans and others. Now Here in Tennessee. I'm kind
Speaker 7: of a related issue that tranny shooter who went into
Speaker 7: that Christian school in Nashville and shot some nine year
Speaker 7: old's point blank in the face, looked him in the
Speaker 7: face and shot him. There's now a Tennessee bill but
Speaker 7: passed with a large margin, requiring autopsies for mass shooters
Speaker 7: to search for psychiatric drug links. This, I think is
Speaker 7: very important. We've been saying for the longest time that
Speaker 7: SSRIs are frequently murder suicide pills if the dosage is
Speaker 7: bothering somebody, there have because it creates a lot of
Speaker 7: side effects. And if people decide they're just going to
Speaker 7: go off the meds or radically change the dosage, because
Speaker 7: it's like the lady that I interviewed her husband, he
Speaker 7: said it was setting his body on fire. You stopped
Speaker 7: this stuff, and then you have really bad psychiatric results
Speaker 7: from this, And so they want to do an autopsy
Speaker 7: when somebody does a mass shooting. This is way overdue.
Speaker 7: This is coming, by the way, from the state level.
Speaker 7: Notice again, just like floridation, just like so many things,
Speaker 7: you can do something about this at the state level.
Speaker 7: It's not going to happen at the federal level.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: RFK Junior has talked about this when he was running.
Speaker 7: Has he done anything about it? Now He's focused on
Speaker 7: high fruit toast corner syrup. He hasn't done anything about this.
Speaker 7: It's going to be much easier to get this done
Speaker 7: at a state level. Legislation passing Tennessee April the tenth,
Speaker 7: last Thursday, requiring autopsies for mass shooters for the purpose
Speaker 7: of identifying links to psychiatric drugs. The bill would require
Speaker 7: the Medical Examiner's Office to ascertain and document current drug use,
Speaker 7: including psychotropic drugs, by a deceased individual who committed a
Speaker 7: mass shooting, and directs University of Tennessee's Health Science Center
Speaker 7: to study drug interactions between the psychotropic drug rugs and
Speaker 7: any other drugs present in the deceased individual's system. And
Speaker 7: it requires the Department of Health to disclose the psychotropic
Speaker 7: drug use of the individual to the public upon request,
Speaker 7: because they really stonewalled all this information about this tranny
Speaker 7: killer in Nashville. And so you're going to put that
Speaker 7: information out there. You've got to do the analysis. You're
Speaker 7: going to tell people if they were on some of
Speaker 7: these psychotropic drugs like SSRIs that are known to create
Speaker 7: murder suits side people don't know what they're doing and
Speaker 7: any other drugs that would be there and what kind
Speaker 7: of interactions they have, and they have to tell the public.
Speaker 7: And this passed by wide margin in the House. It
Speaker 7: was seventy six to twenty, in the Senate twenty seven
Speaker 7: to five.
Speaker 5: And so.
Speaker 7: It is really this tranny killer, twenty eight year old
Speaker 7: training killer who kill those kids in the Christian school,
Speaker 7: that is pushing this forward. The report said, despite the
Speaker 7: ongoing therapy and medication regimes, this training killer's anxiety, depression,
Speaker 7: and rage only escalated. Oh really, you mean the pharmaceutical
Speaker 7: drugs that you gave her for this only made it
Speaker 7: all worse. Yes, which is what we see over and
Speaker 7: over again. She commented and how she felt she was
Speaker 7: being swallowed by despair and even created drawings documenting how
Speaker 7: her assorted mental health conditions were affecting her mind. She
Speaker 7: had issues to start with, and then the drugs exacerbated it.
Speaker 7: We've seen that over and over again. Joining us now
Speaker 7: is Jay Warner Wallace. As I said, I've talked to
Speaker 7: him a couple of times before about his book called
Speaker 7: Case Christianity, and he's got a new book that is
Speaker 7: put out in a very different way, and I really
Speaker 7: like this. It's a to show you the cover here
Speaker 7: of it. It is a graphic novel. So there's the
Speaker 7: suspense broken right there. I gave away the secret. I
Speaker 7: thank you for joining us, mister Wallis, thank you so much,
Speaker 7: appreciate it. Tell us little to take. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7: Tell us a little bit about this and why you
Speaker 7: did this, and of course you did this in conjunction
Speaker 7: with your son. It's really perfectionally done. We've got some
Speaker 7: images of it that we can show. But it's an
Speaker 7: amazing book and it's a kind of a fun way
Speaker 7: to get the point across that you've made in some
Speaker 7: of your other books before.
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think most of my other all my
Speaker 8: other books are nonfiction books that make a case for Christianity,
Speaker 8: either for its truthfulness or for its goodness. And usefulness.
Speaker 8: So those are books that we kind of just make
Speaker 8: us a straight case. But I think there's a lot
Speaker 8: of folks who are moved more by fiction. And my
Speaker 8: son always thinks this too, because we know that we
Speaker 8: can make a case for something and you may agree
Speaker 8: with that case can also take you on a journey,
Speaker 8: and if you are part of the journey, you end
Speaker 8: up living the case. And so this is a graphic
Speaker 8: novel that is a fictional work about a team of
Speaker 8: detectives that are trying to catch a serial killer in
Speaker 8: Los Angeles County. You know, we applied all of our
Speaker 8: experience in the county, So this is going to feel,
Speaker 8: I think, pretty realistic. If you're a police officer, detective,
Speaker 8: you're going to read this and think, oh, yeah, that's
Speaker 8: pretty much how we do it. But I also think
Speaker 8: what we're trying to do is to tell a better story.
Speaker 8: To tell it, We're going to explore an issue that
Speaker 8: most people struggle with, and that is how do we
Speaker 8: ground human value, meaning and purpose. I think that most
Speaker 8: of us take our identity for granted and then at
Speaker 8: some point we struggle because we're trying to figure out like,
Speaker 8: who are we really and if you'll notice. And if
Speaker 8: you've seen like today in America, there'll be a number
Speaker 8: of homicides. It's just the sad truth. Now, most of
Speaker 8: those you're not going to know anything about because they're
Speaker 8: never going to make the press. But if a celebrity
Speaker 8: gets murdered, well, now that's going to make the news
Speaker 8: and suddenly it'll be a national or international item. Well,
Speaker 8: why do we think that celebrities somehow are more valuable
Speaker 8: than other victims? We kind of act as though they are.
Speaker 8: So how are we grounding human value? What makes one
Speaker 8: person newsworthy and somebody else not. We think from a
Speaker 8: Christian worldview that every life has value, but how do
Speaker 8: we ground it? So what we have here is this
Speaker 8: is not a Pollyannish kind of Christian story where everyone's
Speaker 8: going to get saved in the last chapter. And this
Speaker 8: is a realistic, gritty novel that's a large comic book.
Speaker 8: Because it's a graphic novel. It's kind of like you're
Speaker 8: watching a story boarded movie involving people who are struggling
Speaker 8: to understand who they are as they chase a serial
Speaker 8: killer who is upping the ante every time he kills somebody.
Speaker 8: This victim is of increasing cultural value. And what we're
Speaker 8: trying to do is challenge the notion that people actually
Speaker 8: are of increasing value. We think that we want to
Speaker 8: be able to ground our identity and our value in
Speaker 8: something that's transcend that. And so we're going to make
Speaker 8: a case for this, but we're going to do it
Speaker 8: without kind of beating you over the head.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 7: You know, many times I've heard people talk about animal sacrifice,
Speaker 7: you know, and one of the first things we see
Speaker 7: after the Garden of Eden is that God gives skins
Speaker 7: to Adam and Eve to cover up their nakedness right
Speaker 7: cover up there now that.
Speaker 1: They're aware of what is going on.
Speaker 7: But he has to kill an animal in order to
Speaker 7: make that. And so, you know, it's a consistent principle
Speaker 7: throughout Christianity that without the shedding of blood, there's no
Speaker 7: forgiveness of sin, right, And so a big part of
Speaker 7: that is that people understand the seriousness of sin because
Speaker 7: they see when even you talk about the difference in
Speaker 7: human life, even when we see a dead animal, we
Speaker 7: kind of stop for a moment. If we see a
Speaker 7: broken branch or a tree or whatever, some plant that's
Speaker 7: been chopped, you don't necessarily think anything about it. But
Speaker 7: if you see an animal that's been chopped up, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: blood all over the device, even that will make an
Speaker 7: impact on you, let alone a human life. And if
Speaker 7: you point out all human life is valuable, it's not
Speaker 7: just celebrities, but it's again, it's like all life is valuable.
Speaker 7: The life is in the blood, and that is a
Speaker 7: real I think it's a lesson that God was trying
Speaker 7: to give us to drive home just how serious rebellion
Speaker 7: to him is.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think, as my son likes to point out.
Speaker 8: You know, as police officers, we have certain limitations because
Speaker 8: there are rights that humans have. So for example, I
Speaker 8: can't just kick down your door and enter your house
Speaker 8: without a warrant, without a reason to do it. But
Speaker 8: on the other hand, if someone is screaming in your
Speaker 8: house that they are they're being murdered, they're being killed, well,
Speaker 8: now I can kick down the door to save that
Speaker 8: person's life. We actually think that's the value of life
Speaker 8: legally is more important than even some rights that you
Speaker 8: have to privacy. We recognize as police officers that humans
Speaker 8: human life, life is important. Now what I see in
Speaker 8: culture is that you're right. What we have a tendency
Speaker 8: to do. Is the secular world just sees us as
Speaker 8: another evolved creature, another animal, like all the other animals.
Speaker 8: And what you see happening is that typically other animals
Speaker 8: are now being afforded the same dignities that we would
Speaker 8: have in the past only have afforded humans. They're in
Speaker 8: our restaurants, they're on the plane with you, they're everywhere,
Speaker 8: and they're there because we have minimized the difference between
Speaker 8: humans and other animals. Now here's what's interesting. You know,
Speaker 8: from scripture, if scripture is true, we are unique in
Speaker 8: the sense that we are image bearers. We bear the
Speaker 8: image of God. And the first thing that God does
Speaker 8: when he gives us the identity, he creates Adam in
Speaker 8: his image, and then he gives Adam a name, an identity.
Speaker 8: And the first thing he asks Adam to do is
Speaker 8: to then turn and give an identity to all the
Speaker 8: other animals. You know, the Christian story is an identity
Speaker 8: story from the Old Testament all the way through the
Speaker 8: New Testament. And so this is anything we wanted to explore. Now, look,
Speaker 8: I could easily make that case on paper and make
Speaker 8: it the way I just made it to you or
Speaker 8: I can tell you a story that we hope is
Speaker 8: so engaging that by the time you're done with it,
Speaker 8: you'll get this principle. Even though in this story, I
Speaker 8: think if you were to read this book, you're going
Speaker 8: to get halfway through it before you even think to yourself,
Speaker 8: is this a Christian book? Because what we want to
Speaker 8: do is we want to reach people with truth. And
Speaker 8: God's truth is everyone's truth. You're stuck with it, whether
Speaker 8: you're a Christian or not. If it's true, it's true
Speaker 8: for everyone. So we thought we could write a book
Speaker 8: in which we could make a case that even your
Speaker 8: unbelieving friends could read and not feel like, oh, this
Speaker 8: is so preachy. You know, this is no. It turns
Speaker 8: out it's just describing the world the way it really is.
Speaker 8: And this is what scripture does. It describes the world,
Speaker 8: and it describes us the way we really are. So
Speaker 8: you'll see that these characters, there's only one Christian character
Speaker 8: in the entire book, and he's treated, for the most
Speaker 8: part the way that as a non believing cop I
Speaker 8: treated most Christian cops, which I kind of marginalized them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: here comes to Christian view. Okay, great, and you'll see
Speaker 8: this is probably true in many of the people who
Speaker 8: read this book are going to say, but you know
Speaker 8: this is true in my world too. My non Christian
Speaker 8: friends don't really you know, take my what I say
Speaker 8: seriously about this. So we wanted to create a narrative
Speaker 8: that was very that depicts reality the way it is
Speaker 8: for a lot of the readers. If we're going to
Speaker 8: read this, they're going to You're going to recognize your
Speaker 8: own struggles trying to tell people about Jesus, trying to
Speaker 8: tell people about what's true. And so this is a
Speaker 8: book that may not land. Every plane may not land
Speaker 8: safely at the end of the runway, because life is
Speaker 8: that way. It's you can share. I've got a father
Speaker 8: who's a cop, who's a detective, who's now retired, of course,
Speaker 8: and he's you know, eighty five, and he is he
Speaker 8: is not interested in hearing about the Gospel. And as
Speaker 8: many years as I've spent trying to help him see
Speaker 8: it from the same perspective that I take as a detective,
Speaker 8: he has got he is willfully rejecting anything that I
Speaker 8: tell him. Well, you probably have someone in your life
Speaker 8: like that too, if you're aware of this book, So
Speaker 8: we want to have a book that reflects that reality
Speaker 8: as well.
Speaker 7: Well, you know what I said earlier about just the
Speaker 7: specialty of what is special about life in general, and
Speaker 7: you're right, you know, we're in creating the image of
Speaker 7: God and there's a huge difference between us and the animals.
Speaker 7: And one of the things that we are seeing now
Speaker 7: we talk about the dignity of human life, one of
Speaker 7: the things that we really have to be aware of
Speaker 7: the push that is coming against that, and we're seeing
Speaker 7: it across the board. It goes back to B. F.
Speaker 7: Skin and other people talking about, you know, beyond freedom
Speaker 7: and dignity, they're just going to treat human beings like animals.
Speaker 7: And we see it more in the more contemporary writings
Speaker 7: of people like Juvil Harari just saying well, you know,
Speaker 7: we're going to take away You're not going to have
Speaker 7: any freedom or dignity. We're just going to control you
Speaker 7: as as we would an animal. And so I think
Speaker 7: that's a really important theme to drive home, and it's
Speaker 7: a great way to do it in a detective novel,
Speaker 7: especially because everybody loves detective novels. They love, you know,
Speaker 7: forensic novels and all the rest of this stuff I
Speaker 7: mean is it's always captured the human imagination because it
Speaker 7: is about life and death, and it is also about
Speaker 7: a mystery and a puzzle, is.
Speaker 8: It, Yeah, it is, and this form of novels. I
Speaker 8: always wanted to write fiction, and I realized that there's
Speaker 8: a difference between writting fiction and writing nonfiction. Okay, there's
Speaker 8: definitely a different skill set. My son is an avid
Speaker 8: growing up. He's now thirty six, he's been on the
Speaker 8: job thirteen years. He's you know, he's always an avid
Speaker 8: comic book reader. And I think if you are an
Speaker 8: avid reader in a particular genre, well then you have
Speaker 8: a better shot at writing something in that genre. So
Speaker 8: so he this is we had to contribute was basically
Speaker 8: a script. It's like a movie script. You know, say
Speaker 8: a page one, he's going to have, you know, five panels.
Speaker 8: These panels are going to hit to be these scenes,
Speaker 8: these dialogue, this action. Then we give it to a
Speaker 8: group of illustrators that are really gifted illustrators at the
Speaker 8: sing illustrators that created that are chosen graphic novel so
Speaker 8: they're very gifted, and they basically do all the rest
Speaker 8: of the heavy lifting. If people like this book, and
Speaker 8: I hope they do. It's largely because it was illustrated
Speaker 8: so magnificently. I mean we first got it back and
Speaker 8: we're watching House developing big characters. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 8: see the character development. I'm like, wow, you know, that's
Speaker 8: actually better than I had imagined. You know. So I
Speaker 8: think that this partnership between writers and creative artists had
Speaker 8: been really helpful.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we got a clip up there now a
Speaker 7: couple of these different things. And I love the graphic
Speaker 7: novels and the comic books, and of course I learned
Speaker 7: how to read with comic books. My mom would take
Speaker 7: me in tow before I started school. And this is
Speaker 7: back in the silver Age of comics when they were
Speaker 7: a lot safer than they are now. Yes, yes, they've
Speaker 7: got kind of they've pandered to adult or to college gets,
Speaker 7: I should say, in terms of what they got, but
Speaker 7: they were pretty safe back in the late nineteen fifties
Speaker 7: and stuff. And it was great because, like you point out,
Speaker 7: it is like a storyboard to a film.
Speaker 1: And you know, I.
Speaker 8: Wonder well about that is that my son will say
Speaker 8: this because he found my brother in law's old comic
Speaker 8: book collection from the early nineteen sixties, and you're absolutely right.
Speaker 8: There was far less objectionable material in those old comic books.
Speaker 8: And what he told me is growing up as a
Speaker 8: young Christian. He got his, of course, of marching orders
Speaker 8: from scripture, but he found that a lot of his
Speaker 8: character development came from these comic books, especially Spider Man.
Speaker 8: You know, this kid who's got to save the world,
Speaker 8: but he's going to a chance to go on this date.
Speaker 8: And of course, as soon as he gets to the
Speaker 8: point of taking the girl out, this is when doctor
Speaker 8: oct puts you attacks and he's got to change. And
Speaker 8: you know, I've got to act sacrificially. I want to
Speaker 8: do this thing, but I need to do that thing. Well,
Speaker 8: I thought, really, so you were telling me that some
Speaker 8: of your character was developed through comic books, that this
Speaker 8: is probably true for a lot of our young people.
Speaker 8: Then issues that are sold to them under the rules
Speaker 8: of fiction become the kinds of things that develop people's character.
Speaker 8: That's why we as Christians need to be in this space,
Speaker 8: because you're right, it's happening. If you're reading comics or
Speaker 8: graphic novels today, you're going to have to turn the
Speaker 8: blind eye to a lot of offensive non Christian material, Yes,
Speaker 8: but can we do a story that's every bit is gripping, entertaining, gritty,
Speaker 8: but also teaches a Christian worldview so that when character
Speaker 8: development is actually going to occur naturally as you're reading fiction,
Speaker 8: it's the kind of character that's also consistent with the
Speaker 8: teaching of scripture. That's what we're trying to do with
Speaker 8: this kind of a book.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 7: Yeah, when we go back and you look at it's like,
Speaker 7: you know, comparing a contemporary movie, comic books of today,
Speaker 7: in graphic novels of today versus the stuff back with
Speaker 7: the fifties.
Speaker 1: It's like a.
Speaker 7: Disney movie about Baby Crockett or something, you know, versus
Speaker 7: movies that focus on a psychotic joker character, you know
Speaker 7: from Batman. Is Now the villains have become the heroes
Speaker 7: of these things and they've become really, really rough. As
Speaker 7: you point out, when I was a kid, the characters
Speaker 7: would and there was a reason for that. When they
Speaker 7: first started out, they were pretty rough, just like films.
Speaker 7: And just like they had the Hayes code for movies,
Speaker 7: they also came up with a comic book code, and
Speaker 7: they said, if you're going to target kids, with this stuff,
Speaker 7: then you're going to follow certain rules, and so it
Speaker 7: was kind of quasi mandated that they would have to
Speaker 7: follow those rules. And the characters were really straight up
Speaker 7: and they were good and they were honorable characters. My
Speaker 7: son Travis is working a board here. I used to
Speaker 7: read him novels from G. A. Hinty And in those novels,
Speaker 7: even the villains, the villains were better than our heroes today.
Speaker 7: And I'm not joking, you know, they had better, higher ideals,
Speaker 7: and they treated people better than the heroes treat people
Speaker 7: today in our movies and fiction. So those things were
Speaker 7: there as a matter of fact, that have the always
Speaker 7: have the saint look like a stamp, and I never
Speaker 7: knew what that was when I was a kid. That
Speaker 7: was up on the cover of the thing, and that
Speaker 7: was saying that it had been certified and was with
Speaker 7: the comic book code. And it's one of the reasons
Speaker 7: why Mad called itself a magazine because they didn't follow
Speaker 7: that code. They were really sorry. It wasn't anything that
Speaker 7: was sexual or violent or anything like it is and
Speaker 7: the graphic novels today. But it was sarcastic, a lot
Speaker 7: of satire and everything like that. And so they were
Speaker 7: proud of the fact that they did not adhere to
Speaker 7: the code. And so I think the code was basically,
Speaker 7: you're going to present a good moral character in our society.
Speaker 7: At that point in time, Christianity had a lot of
Speaker 7: influence on that. And really, even if these people were
Speaker 7: not Christian, it was the Christian influence that was influencing
Speaker 7: the art and the culture. And you're right, we do
Speaker 7: need to take that back well and think about this.
Speaker 8: The Christian theology tells us that there's an enigma of
Speaker 8: man that we are duplicit. We have the capacity for
Speaker 8: unbelievable altruism and goodness because we have been created in
Speaker 8: the image of God, but we also are deeply rebellious
Speaker 8: and have inherited that simple condition from Adam. So that's
Speaker 8: why we are these duplicit kind of beings. Now, what's
Speaker 8: interesting is we went from a point in history where
Speaker 8: we would rather we preferred to write about what we
Speaker 8: could be than what we really are. Now we've shifted,
Speaker 8: and yeah, it's true that we are duplicit. We are
Speaker 8: we have a capacity for both greatness and evil, but
Speaker 8: we want to focus on the greatness. We want to say, hey,
Speaker 8: this is the ideal we ought to aspire to. But
Speaker 8: I think what we're seeing right now, especially in comics,
Speaker 8: is that we're instead we're just just sketching out the
Speaker 8: characters as they really are, as dark as their nature
Speaker 8: can also be. Well, I get it. You're going to
Speaker 8: see in this book that we've been very realistic with
Speaker 8: all the detectives and they have a dark side. Okay,
Speaker 8: but we want to aim at thing. And you know
Speaker 8: that old saying that if you aim at nothing, you
Speaker 8: hit it every time. That's exactly right. So we have
Speaker 8: to write in stories. I think that aim at something
Speaker 8: that is good. There ought to be some example in
Speaker 8: the book that is not trite and trivialized and stereotypes,
Speaker 8: but offers a solution to the problem that everyone else
Speaker 8: is experiencing. And so hopefully, if we do this in
Speaker 8: a way that is compelling, you're going to come away
Speaker 8: from reading this book and you're going to have I
Speaker 8: think it could for number one, if you're not a believer,
Speaker 8: I hope it'll open up your thinking to the possibility
Speaker 8: that Christianity has something to teach you about how to live.
Speaker 8: But if you are a believer, I hope it's going
Speaker 8: to give you much more confidence. And also we want
Speaker 8: to have an alternative for believers who may want to
Speaker 8: have some fun in this space, this true crime graphic
Speaker 8: novel space, which right now, if you were to go online,
Speaker 8: you're going to get a lot of stuff that you're
Speaker 8: going to have to ignore some percentage of it if
Speaker 8: you want to hold onto your Christian worldview. We wanted
Speaker 8: something that you didn't have to do that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, right now, tell us a little bit
Speaker 7: about you know, you are also encouraging with this some
Speaker 7: deeper probing and some discussions about Christian worldview. Tell people
Speaker 7: what you've got in association with that conversation guide that
Speaker 7: is also.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I do think this is a gateway book
Speaker 8: for going to be a gateway book for a lot
Speaker 8: of people. So on the inside back cover, we have
Speaker 8: a QR code that if you just hit that QR code,
Speaker 8: it's going to open up our case closed booklet, which
Speaker 8: is a Case for the Resurrection in about forty pages.
Speaker 8: So it's going to take you a step further if
Speaker 8: you wanted to know, for example, why this particular character
Speaker 8: in our story maybe responds a little different differently to
Speaker 8: the trauma. While the answer is in his Christian worldview,
Speaker 8: even though we're not we're just going to hint at it.
Speaker 8: We're not going to make it as like a punch
Speaker 8: in the face, but we want to give you a
Speaker 8: chance to go. Now, Look, if you're somebody who buys
Speaker 8: a book today in our economy today, I feel like
Speaker 8: it's a big ask anymore for someone who's been siwhere
Speaker 8: between fifteen and twenty dollars depending on where you buy it,
Speaker 8: a book like this. So what we want to do
Speaker 8: is offer something that makes the price seem like it's reasonable.
Speaker 8: So what we've done on our website at called case
Speaker 8: Christianity dot com is anyone who buys the book, yes,
Speaker 8: you have access to that digital QR code, but also
Speaker 8: we want to send you a conversation guide that will
Speaker 8: help you navigate the conversations that are going to flow
Speaker 8: out of someone who reads this book. Also, we want
Speaker 8: to give you our ten ur ten and a half
Speaker 8: hour thirty session Casemaker's Course. It's the same course I
Speaker 8: teach at Gateway Seminary here in southern California, and it's
Speaker 8: the course that is fully robustly illustrated. It's all videos.
Speaker 8: If you take this course, you will become a much
Speaker 8: better Christian casemaker. So when someone does have a question
Speaker 8: about the Christian worldview that maybe is prompted by a
Speaker 8: book like this or anyone else's book, you'll be able
Speaker 8: to kind of hold your ground, to be able to
Speaker 8: make a case for why you want to hear my concern.
Speaker 8: If you really want to know what it is you love,
Speaker 8: what is your family loves, think about what it is
Speaker 8: they're capable of defending. Because it turns out whatever it
Speaker 8: is you're capable of defending, that is your real God.
Speaker 8: We just came out of the football draft, from from
Speaker 8: college football into the NFL, and I know people who
Speaker 8: can make a robust case for why so and so
Speaker 8: should have gotten drafted or didn't get drafted, or should
Speaker 8: have gotten drafted in a different position.
Speaker 7: Ok Oh yeah, I say that all the time. Oh yeah,
Speaker 7: I kind of flipped. I say that they're all upset
Speaker 7: because this guy didn't go earlier or whatever, and it's
Speaker 7: like that, and.
Speaker 8: There's talk shows that they all have. I mean literally,
Speaker 8: I was watching on these sports channels where you might
Speaker 8: have six hours today of this discussion with people debating it. Well, okay,
Speaker 8: if that's you and you are better able to defend
Speaker 8: your pro football team and their selections than you are
Speaker 8: able to defend your God. You've kind of shown your
Speaker 8: hand as to what you find worth defending. I think
Speaker 8: we need to be moving to a position where we're
Speaker 8: so geeked out about what we believe about God and
Speaker 8: about Jesus that this is the stuff we spend our
Speaker 8: discretionary timeline. This is this stuff we spend our disposable time,
Speaker 8: our disposable income, our disposable thoughts, the stuff that we
Speaker 8: have freedom. You know, you're not working right now, what
Speaker 8: are you thinking about?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 8: There's your God? You're you're not you're not engaged with
Speaker 8: your family? What are you thinking about? There is your God?
Speaker 8: So I think in the end we have to kind
Speaker 8: of align our thoughts and align our abilities. And so
Speaker 8: we want to do we've always wanted to do this
Speaker 8: is provide resources that will help people. If you do
Speaker 8: want to do that, like how do you learn? Like
Speaker 8: where do you get that stuff? Yes, you can buy
Speaker 8: a book, but what we want to do is offer
Speaker 8: those free resources to our website that will help you
Speaker 8: to take the next step.
Speaker 7: Well, and I love what you do because you know,
Speaker 7: we always have we always have people who will push
Speaker 7: back on that. And I like to have my faith
Speaker 7: challenged from one perspective or the other because I always
Speaker 7: found that when I get that challenge and I go
Speaker 7: back and I investigate in it, I come back much stronger.
Speaker 7: There's always because it is true, and that it helps
Speaker 7: me to understand that it's true if I go back
Speaker 7: and I investigate, which is what you did in your life.
Speaker 7: You go back and you investigate it. Uh, and you
Speaker 7: know it's not a blind faith that we have. And
Speaker 7: what it does is you find the answers and as
Speaker 7: you dig deep, then it becomes a passion for your
Speaker 7: life the more you get into it. And we've talking
Speaker 7: about celebrities. We've had so many celebrities in the last
Speaker 7: year or so that I've seen there in their fifties
Speaker 7: and sixties and say, you know, I never read the
Speaker 7: Bible before, but I started reading. It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 7: Then they want to grab you by the lapel and
Speaker 7: tell you about how amazing this isn't what they found
Speaker 7: in it, and that's we don't see that in the
Speaker 7: case of a lot of nominal Christians because they're just
Speaker 7: not reading it, you know. They may be a part
Speaker 7: of a club or a church or whatever you know,
Speaker 7: but they're not really actively involved in it. And so
Speaker 7: if you can get something in that that pulls you in,
Speaker 7: That's what I love. What you do in general with
Speaker 7: a cold case Christianity is that you answer a lot
Speaker 7: of these concerns that other people had, concerns that you
Speaker 7: had when you first came to it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, there's no doubt about it. I mean I
Speaker 8: think what we want I'm hoping to do to have
Speaker 8: my own kids and as I was raising them and
Speaker 8: now my grandkids, is to help them and development and
Speaker 8: stigative approach. This is worth taking the time to. Like,
Speaker 8: church attendance is not the box you can check and say, okay,
Speaker 8: I've done. It's just one of the many things you're
Speaker 8: going to find yourself doing because you are this in
Speaker 8: love with the worldview with Jesus of Nazareth. So I
Speaker 8: think the reality of it is is how do you
Speaker 8: do this? Here's what I love. This is a worldview
Speaker 8: you could investigate. Think about it. If you're somebody, for example,
Speaker 8: who is a Bahaigh and you think that the writings
Speaker 8: of Baha Law are magnificent and beautiful and spiritual. Okay, great,
Speaker 8: How could you test those? How do you test proverbial
Speaker 8: statements even though their Buddha if their Hindu statements, whatever
Speaker 8: they may be. How do you test that this is
Speaker 8: not just that Jesus said smart things, of course he did.
Speaker 8: Is that this is a claim about something that happened
Speaker 8: in history. That's very unusual if you think about it.
Speaker 8: You don't have claims about history that can be tested
Speaker 8: in the High Faith or in Buddhist faith. This is
Speaker 8: testable in the sense that it records an event. If
Speaker 8: it didn't happen, it's all false. So you can now
Speaker 8: there's something you can point to now, which is the resurrection.
Speaker 8: Do we have good reason to believe the resurrection occurred?
Speaker 8: If it did, then this guy's in a different category. Jesus.
Speaker 8: He's the one wise guy who, unlike all the other
Speaker 8: ancient wise guys, rose from the grave. We need to
Speaker 8: know have confidence that that's the case, because otherwise he's
Speaker 8: just one ancient voice among many who also said wise things?
Speaker 8: Or is he the voice? And by the way, because
Speaker 8: we are created in the image of this God, we
Speaker 8: always have a shadow of his teaching in our lives.
Speaker 8: We are image bearers. We cannot avoid it. Even when
Speaker 8: we think, do you know any Christ figures? There are
Speaker 8: in history the stories that are like the Jesus story
Speaker 8: that emerge. Now, you could argue that those that come
Speaker 8: after Jesus are simply people who are copying the Jesus story,
Speaker 8: but there are a lot of Christ figures that are
Speaker 8: pre Jesus. Why because this is God's story. And if
Speaker 8: you're an imag Barrett, which you are, you kind of
Speaker 8: a neatly have God's story in your head, whether you
Speaker 8: like it or not.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 8: So I think in the end, we want to be
Speaker 8: able to use our giftedness, whatever that may be, all
Speaker 8: of us, even those of us who are listening to
Speaker 8: this show, to be creative, and we ought to own
Speaker 8: the arts we have. By the way, for generations, don't
Speaker 8: step back from the arts. Continue to write write fiction
Speaker 8: to Christian movies. Yes, I know people will say, well
Speaker 8: they're not the what I hope they wish they would be. Well,
Speaker 8: that's on us. We can do a better job. So
Speaker 8: let's do that better job so we have something to
Speaker 8: point to, so our young people have an alternative that
Speaker 8: actually is God honoring.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, And as a matter of fact, you're talking
Speaker 7: about doing the best job that you can. That's the key,
Speaker 7: you know, when we look at the architecture, for example
Speaker 7: in Europe, the Great Cathedrals and everything that we're there,
Speaker 7: and there was a multi generational effort to show their
Speaker 7: best you know, to show their best skills and all
Speaker 7: the rest. So they poured it into that. Regardless of
Speaker 7: you know what you think, there was still a that
Speaker 7: was their desire to do something in some way that
Speaker 7: honored God and everything that we do. I think is
Speaker 7: Christians ought to be done to a standard that people
Speaker 7: would say, Oh, I want to know more about this guy,
Speaker 7: what motivates him, you know, to do something of that quality.
Speaker 7: But as you were saying, it all comes back to
Speaker 7: the resurrection of Jesus. And we're just a week away
Speaker 7: from resurrection Sunday. And you've got case closed that is
Speaker 7: also there at your website and you have a link
Speaker 7: to that as part of people get this graphic novel.
Speaker 1: It's a link to that. Tell us a little bit
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Key's Clothes was really something we wanted to
Speaker 8: do a long time ago. We've done a couple of
Speaker 8: different versions of what we would hope to be a
Speaker 8: case quick case of the resurrection, because I do think
Speaker 8: this is the one most important piece of evidence that
Speaker 8: is in the Christian world view. Paul says, if the
Speaker 8: resurrection didn't occur, then number one, we have been false witnesses.
Speaker 8: So you've been lying to you. So that ought to
Speaker 8: discredit pretty much everything else we've said. But also you
Speaker 8: have no hope of your own resurrection. This is all
Speaker 8: in First Corinthians fifteen. So if you look at this,
Speaker 8: this is the key thing that I knew I had
Speaker 8: to investigate. First, Do I have good reason to believe
Speaker 8: that this resurrection thing occurred? Because that puts him in
Speaker 8: a different category altogether, and that category is the difference
Speaker 8: between any other ancients age and Jesus of Nazareth. So
Speaker 8: what this is is like a thirty or forty page,
Speaker 8: very small booklet. It's the quickest version I can give
Speaker 8: you of why I think the resurrection is the most
Speaker 8: reasonable inference from the historical evidence. Now, look, some of
Speaker 8: the people are going to say, well, I can't believe
Speaker 8: that because it includes something supernatural. You know, it turns
Speaker 8: out that that supernatural thing is what's keeping most people out.
Speaker 8: Here's what I mean, if we had an ancient set
Speaker 8: of documents that just describe Jesus of Nazareth as a
Speaker 8: simple teaching rabbi in the first century, that's all he is.
Speaker 8: He said some wise things, but never worked a miracle,
Speaker 8: never rose from the grave, never walked on water. It
Speaker 8: was not born of a virgin, he says. This guy,
Speaker 8: just an ancient guy who was smart. There wouldn't be
Speaker 8: a sin no skeptic on planet Earth who would deny
Speaker 8: the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth based on the manuscript
Speaker 8: evidence we have, it's so strong. There is no ancient
Speaker 8: who's better attested than Jesus. But if you insert one
Speaker 8: miracle into those same ancient manuscripts, suddenly skepticism is at
Speaker 8: a high None of it can be true. Why that
Speaker 8: just tells you that the skepticism is not based on
Speaker 8: the strength of the manuscript evidence. It's based on a
Speaker 8: presuppositional bias against the supernatural. Just trust me, take out
Speaker 8: the supernatural elements and everyone loves it. But what they
Speaker 8: so that is really about us having to examine do
Speaker 8: we have really good reason to reject anything outside of space, time, matter, physics,
Speaker 8: and chemistry. I actually think there's a good reason to
Speaker 8: believe there is something beyond space time, matter, physics, and chemistry,
Speaker 8: just from the science of those who study the universe. Yes,
Speaker 8: I think we're stuck with that. The quot only question
Speaker 8: is is that thing side of space time, matter, science,
Speaker 8: in physics, chemistry, and physics. Is that thing personal? Is
Speaker 8: it a personal being? If there is a personal being
Speaker 8: that starts the universe, well then I suspect you could
Speaker 8: do anything he wants once the universe has been started.
Speaker 8: So there's no like big big deal miracle in the
Speaker 8: pages of the New Testament. The biggest miracle of all
Speaker 8: is in Genesis one. Everything from nothing that's big. If
Speaker 8: you can do that, you can probably walk on water.
Speaker 8: So that helped me to at least navigate my bias
Speaker 8: against the supernatural. I was somebody who believed in big
Speaker 8: bang cosmology. That's still the standard cosmological model of the
Speaker 8: astrophysicists who are working today as secularists. Well, they believe
Speaker 8: that there's something outside of space time and matter that
Speaker 8: begins all space time and matter. Well, what is that?
Speaker 8: What kind of force? Is it an impersonal force or
Speaker 8: is it a personal force? Why would we think for example,
Speaker 8: it's an impersonal force, and be stuck on that. If
Speaker 8: it's a personal force, we at least have to have
Speaker 8: a hypothesis that includes God as a creator. I'm not
Speaker 8: saying you all have to do this, you have to
Speaker 8: jump in that direction, but can you at least allow
Speaker 8: that as a hypothesis, because I'll tell you what, if
Speaker 8: you do, you're going to find that it has much
Speaker 8: better explanatory power for a lot of other things in
Speaker 8: the universe. So I think in the end that was
Speaker 8: what had to open the door for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if there was ever a time, as people have said,
Speaker 7: if there was ever a time where there was literally
Speaker 7: no thing, then there still would be nothing is out there,
Speaker 7: and you know, we even talk about the word supernatural.
Speaker 7: There must be something that organizes this, that is above nature.
Speaker 7: And we've seen a lot of materialistic scientists say that.
Speaker 7: You looked at Krick and Watson who discovered DNA, they
Speaker 7: could no longer deny an intelligent design, but instead they
Speaker 7: created in their imagination. So well, we'll call it panspermi.
Speaker 7: It must have been aliens who came here and did this,
Speaker 7: but they will not. Then you take it to the
Speaker 7: next step I'm going to I'm still going to deny
Speaker 7: the God of the Bible, even if I the inevitability
Speaker 7: and the impossibility of this happening without intelligent design. So
Speaker 7: there's always there's always that there. But that's the other
Speaker 7: thing I like about Christianity is always about critical thinking.
Speaker 7: It encourages, it invites critical thinking. And that's what you
Speaker 7: do with cold case Christianity. You invite critical thinking and
Speaker 7: you have answers for that, and it's important for us.
Speaker 7: We can't really go it's a vital life skill for
Speaker 7: us to be able to have critical thinking. And so
Speaker 7: that's something that we tried to really stress with our
Speaker 7: children when we were homeschooling, was the critical thinking aspect.
Speaker 7: And so we would look at at creation versus evolution,
Speaker 7: and we would look at all the biology and you know,
Speaker 7: here's your set of facts, and everybody's got the same
Speaker 7: set of facts. How do we interpret these set of facts?
Speaker 7: And why would we interpret this way or that way? Yeah, well,
Speaker 7: and think about this.
Speaker 8: This is a worldview that I hope in people even
Speaker 8: when they read our books, whether it's this book or
Speaker 8: fiction or nonfiction, I think this is a very different worldview.
Speaker 8: Paul tells us in Romans twelve two that you cannot
Speaker 8: be conformed to this crazy world, but you need to
Speaker 8: be transformed. And he had a number of ways he
Speaker 8: could have said it. Remember when I listened to a suspect,
Speaker 8: I'm listening to all the things and thinking to myself,
Speaker 8: how he chose to say it a certain way? Why
Speaker 8: did he choose to say it this way when there
Speaker 8: were about six or seven other ways he could have
Speaker 8: said it? Because how you choose to say it matters.
Speaker 8: And Paul says in Rome's twelve two that we are
Speaker 8: to be transformed, not by the renewal of our will,
Speaker 8: or our hearts, or our emotion or our experiences. Like,
Speaker 8: what is it that's going to make a difference, what's
Speaker 8: going to transform your life? Well, it turns out it's
Speaker 8: the renewal of your mind. It's about rethinking. This is
Speaker 8: a thinking person's worldview. And I know that we have
Speaker 8: got a generation, we've got so many different strands of Christianity.
Speaker 8: And what's really emphasized is the experience, what you've experienced.
Speaker 8: Share your testimony, and what they're really saying is, no,
Speaker 8: don't share the way you thought about this, the way
Speaker 8: you rethought all the facts. What most people are about
Speaker 8: to share that is what experience they had from that
Speaker 8: they interpreted that God was real. I get it. God
Speaker 8: has got of experiences for sure, and if you've had
Speaker 8: an experience, you may be able to test it to God,
Speaker 8: but you need to kind of evaluate it based on
Speaker 8: the evidence. It's not just your experience. Your experience alone
Speaker 8: will get you into all kinds of trouble. I have
Speaker 8: six brothers and sisters who are raised lds by my stepmother,
Speaker 8: and they largely will tell you that they had an
Speaker 8: experience that confirmed for them that the Book of Mormon
Speaker 8: was true and that you know, Joseph Smith was a
Speaker 8: prophet of God. Well, look, your experiences can't be trusted.
Speaker 8: They have to be tested against the facts. And once
Speaker 8: they're tested against the facts, you can know if that
Speaker 8: experience is if you've properly interpreted it. Yes, well, I
Speaker 8: think we have a worldview that encourages us to not
Speaker 8: just you know, enjoy the experience of God's presence, but
Speaker 8: to test it to make sure it actually is God's presence.
Speaker 8: You're feeling yes, because you know, I believe there's a
Speaker 8: spiritual realm, but not every spiritual experience you have necessarily
Speaker 8: be from God.
Speaker 7: And we have tosk the spirits to sperience. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 7: I got to see if that is from gotten and
Speaker 7: it calls us to worship him in spirit and in truth.
Speaker 7: And we don't want to throw away either one of
Speaker 7: those because it's an a or you know, that's right.
Speaker 7: And so he says they come, let his reason together,
Speaker 7: you know, he says, you're there. He sends me a scarlett,
Speaker 7: I'll make him white as snow. So he invites us
Speaker 7: to use are the minds that he gave us, and
Speaker 7: that is a wonderful thing. And then he does come
Speaker 7: with experiences as well, and so all of that has
Speaker 7: to be a part of it. And so it is.
Speaker 7: It is a complete package. And I think a lot
Speaker 7: of people it's one of the.
Speaker 8: Reasons this is one of the reasons to do. But
Speaker 8: I'm thinking, this is why we wanted to do fiction.
Speaker 8: I have a sense that that we can make a
Speaker 8: case that you can sent to intellectually, but fiction takes
Speaker 8: you along as part of the experience of the chase
Speaker 8: for this killer, for example, in this book. And it's
Speaker 8: so it's it's combining both what is the case for this,
Speaker 8: and two, I want you to experience something. And my
Speaker 8: son always says it that, yes, he learns a lot
Speaker 8: from nonfiction, but it feels like when he's reading fiction,
Speaker 8: he's drawn into the story and it becomes an experience.
Speaker 8: And I think that's true for a movie. If you
Speaker 8: watch a movie for those two hours, you're kind of
Speaker 8: transported into that realm Well, graphic novels are basically just
Speaker 8: movies that have been put on paper, because there is
Speaker 8: storyboarded movies, and so we hope that when you open
Speaker 8: this up, and even if you're not somebody who likes
Speaker 8: to read a novel, graphic novels are so visual, you're
Speaker 8: just watching a movie, and so you can take anywhere
Speaker 8: you want to go. So the idea is to draw
Speaker 8: people into that experience. Because I think this You're right,
Speaker 8: this is not an either or. I would never suggest
Speaker 8: that you can develop your entire Christian worldview from fiction.
Speaker 8: That's like saying experiences are all that matter. At the
Speaker 8: same time, though, you got to be careful not to
Speaker 8: draw all your Christian, robust Christian life simply from reading
Speaker 8: non fictional case books basically their theology or whatever they
Speaker 8: may be. Because it's going to be kind of dry,
Speaker 8: like you need to have a heart and head kind
Speaker 8: of experience together. And I think that nonfiction often affects
Speaker 8: your head. Fiction often affects your heart. So that combination
Speaker 8: we think we have, it's basically I always say, is
Speaker 8: we're trying to bite the apple from both sides.
Speaker 7: Well, it combines the spirit and the truth in a way,
Speaker 7: you know when you have that there, and you know,
Speaker 7: it reminds me of music. For example, right when we
Speaker 7: have music. If you've got good lyrics, that's great. And
Speaker 7: if it and it moves, it moves you emotionally through
Speaker 7: the music, and then you add the lyrics. If they
Speaker 7: if they teach you something that's valuable, that's a great
Speaker 7: thing as well. And again going back to the graphic novels,
Speaker 7: they are so much like movies. That was the thing
Speaker 7: that used to always fascinate me because I can't draw anything.
Speaker 7: I can't trustick figures and the fact that somebody could,
Speaker 7: as they do in your book. You know, you can
Speaker 7: draw things and there's a certain kind of kinetic you
Speaker 7: can almost see things move, you know when you look
Speaker 7: at it, because it is like a storyboard. But you know,
Speaker 7: good graphic artists can can make it really come alive,
Speaker 7: like you're kind of seeing the movement there. You can
Speaker 7: see the movement from one panel to the next store
Speaker 7: from the character what they're doing. You can imagine it there,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 8: Yes, my son always says that what we what we
Speaker 8: contributed is we contributed the movies script or the screenwriters,
Speaker 8: and in that screenplay, you're going to have some direction
Speaker 8: about like who's going to what the movement should be,
Speaker 8: what the scene is going to look like, what the
Speaker 8: characters are going to say for sure, what the action.
Speaker 8: You're writing all of that into the screenplay. But the
Speaker 8: artist in a graphic novel is every other person in
Speaker 8: the movie. He's the director because he's going to direct
Speaker 8: the action. He is all of the actors. He's even
Speaker 8: telling the actors what expressions to take. He is the
Speaker 8: wardrobe guy. He is the set designer. I mean, he's
Speaker 8: the lighting person. I mean the artist basically play the
Speaker 8: role of every other important person in a movie project.
Speaker 8: All we do is submit the screenplay, and we've also
Speaker 8: given them liberty the same way a screenwriter was going
Speaker 8: to give liberty to a director to direct his screenplay. However,
Speaker 8: he sees fit. You hire the right person, right because
Speaker 8: you know that you're going to have to give him
Speaker 8: that liberty. Well, the same is true with this kind
Speaker 8: of a project. We had to give the artists the liberty.
Speaker 8: We developed the characters, we developed the storyline, We give
Speaker 8: them the storyline, then they bring it to life. And
Speaker 8: we weren't even sure. We had some ideas. They gave
Speaker 8: us the rough sketches back on the different characters, and
Speaker 8: there's like six major characters here, and we had some
Speaker 8: ideas about those characters, and we had some input, of course,
Speaker 8: But in the end, I was impressed with what they
Speaker 8: thought the characters should look like. And I think this
Speaker 8: is awesome right now be able to have cast that
Speaker 8: actor for that role. But here they thought of something
Speaker 8: just and by the way, they're not just they're thinking
Speaker 8: of it just from their imagination. It's really an amazing
Speaker 8: process to go through. But I think in the end,
Speaker 8: when you see it, I think most people don't think
Speaker 8: of comic books as being that thoughtful, but there is
Speaker 8: so much that's happening behind the scenes. For example, we
Speaker 8: started this project and a half years ago and we
Speaker 8: were ready to go. We could have I mean, we
Speaker 8: could have had this. If we could just snap your
Speaker 8: fingers and produce, you know, one hundred and sixty pages
Speaker 8: of art, we could have been ready in a day.
Speaker 8: It took two and a half years for us to
Speaker 8: get from concept to published work, and that's largely because
Speaker 8: it's a collective effort and it's like making a movie.
Speaker 7: Well, it certainly does show and just like that last
Speaker 7: panel that you had of there, Trevis that there's one
Speaker 7: at the bottom where a guy comes up behind and
Speaker 7: hit somebody from the back and you see crack and
Speaker 7: you see the cap flying and there. I mean, there's
Speaker 7: just such kinetic energy in these graphic novels. That's what
Speaker 7: I really enjoy out of it because you can really
Speaker 7: see it come alive. And as you point out, you know,
Speaker 7: they create the characters and they're doing the direction and
Speaker 7: the action in it. So it is a great collaboration
Speaker 7: and it looks really interesting. I've seen some of haven't
Speaker 7: had time to go through all of it yet, but
Speaker 7: it's really well done.
Speaker 1: Again it is.
Speaker 7: You can go to Coldcase Christianity dot com. That's where
Speaker 7: that people can can find it and buy it, right
Speaker 7: I guess they can also get it on Amazon but
Speaker 7: if they get it. Once they get it, then there
Speaker 7: is a code in the back that's going to give
Speaker 7: them supplemental material. And it is a great outreach, a
Speaker 7: great conversation starter with people.
Speaker 8: I think, yeah, I hope it is. I hope it's
Speaker 8: a gateway book. I think it's the kind of thing
Speaker 8: that you can give somebody and then the conversation begins.
Speaker 8: Now the question is are you ready for the conversation.
Speaker 8: And that's what we really, I think our whole ministry
Speaker 8: is about. If this is a tool that helps you
Speaker 8: get active and get ready for the conversation, then we've
Speaker 8: accomplished our goal.
Speaker 1: That's right. And you know that's the wonderful thing about it.
Speaker 7: We used to have a Bible study in our home
Speaker 7: back in North Carolina, and when something is coming up
Speaker 7: like that, you know you have to. And it wasn't
Speaker 7: that I was leading it or anything, but you know,
Speaker 7: I knewhere we're going to be covering, and so I would,
Speaker 7: you know, look at it, and I would study it
Speaker 7: for a while. And it's that preparation that is really
Speaker 7: the benefit to you. And so if somebody goes into this,
Speaker 7: and somebody looks at this and and focuses on. It
Speaker 7: just gives them a focus. It gives them something that
Speaker 7: we always ought to be engaged in some way or
Speaker 7: the other, doing something that is positive. And so this
Speaker 7: gives you some direction. It gives you something to contemplate,
Speaker 7: to think about critically, and it's really going to build
Speaker 7: you and it might help you to pass out on
Speaker 7: to somebody else's.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, if it's a catalyst that we've done our job.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's great. Coldcase Christianity dot Com. Thank you so much,
Speaker 7: Jay Warner Wallace. Always a pleasure talking to you.
Speaker 8: Hey, thanks so much for having me. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 7: The common man they created common Core, They've dumbed down
Speaker 7: our children. They created common Past to track and control us.
Speaker 7: Their Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing
Speaker 7: and the communist future we see the common man is simple, unsophisticated, ordinary,
Speaker 7: But each of us has worth and dignity created in
Speaker 7: the image of God. That is what we have in common.
Speaker 7: That is what they want to take away. Their most
Speaker 7: powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
Speaker 7: everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's
Speaker 7: time to turn that around and expose what they want
Speaker 7: to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find
