WEBVTT 1 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.719 You're a world of deceit. Telling the truth is a 2 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:38.399 revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. 3 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.079 As the clock strikes thirteen, it is Wednesday, the fourteenth 4 00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.960 of May, year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. Today 5 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:46.960 we're going to talk about Nissan looking to reduce its 6 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.719 workforce and what I think might be the cause. Then war, 7 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.159 what is it good for? Well, apparently testing out your 8 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.359 shiny new death machine and more. 9 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:30.439 Stay with us. 10 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.960 Welcome to the show, folks, and thank you for joining us. 11 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.280 And I just want to again thank you all for 12 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.599 keeping my dad in your prayers. It was another rough 13 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.639 night last night, as I'm sure any one of you 14 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.719 who has been to the hospital knows that it is 15 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.240 a rough situation. There's people constantly in and out. The 16 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.360 beds aren't very comfortable, You're full of needles and ivs 17 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.400 and all kinds of things. They're always doing tests. So 18 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.560 please just keep him in your prayers that he would 19 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.680 be able to get some rest and that he would 20 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.360 be at peace. It has been a struggle, but yes, 21 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.840 thank you so much for your prayers. He is slowly improving, 22 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.240 but he is still in a bad place and it 23 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:54.319 is very hard for him. Right now. It's as someone 24 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.360 who is so independent and doesn't like to have people 25 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.960 telling him what to do. This is probably one of 26 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.199 the hardest things you can imagine for him. But he 27 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.879 is healing, and we know in the end it is 28 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.840 because God answers prayer and that he is in control 29 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.159 of all these things. So thank you all so much 30 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.080 for the continued prayer, and please just continue to pray 31 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.560 for him. It means so much to us to know 32 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.520 that you care so deeply about him. We have a 33 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.759 comment already from nad Lander says Dave is awesome. Been 34 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.479 with him since AJ stopped watching Jones when he fired David. 35 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.479 He's done a lot and thank you. I'm trying my 36 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.439 best to hold down the fort. I know that I 37 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:41.039 am a pale imitation of the caliber of information provider 38 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.199 shall we say that my dad is, But I will 39 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.159 do my best to give you something useful today. So 40 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.319 thank you all again so much. And yeah, let's get 41 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.080 into the news. I really got to start using that 42 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.400 pad that my dad has. I keep meaning to, but 43 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.080 time keeps getting away from me and then I don't 44 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.280 get the time to set it up. But I want 45 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.240 to start with this Our article from zero hedge, freight fraud, 46 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:07.879 cargo theft, deadly collisions, ghost carriers are growing national security threat. 47 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.360 And this article goes in to talk about another immigrant 48 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:17.600 who crashed a truck. And this is becoming more of 49 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.920 a problem as we begin to hire more and more 50 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.839 people that do not have the skills necessary for these jobs, 51 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.000 and driving freight around is not something you want to 52 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:33.680 entrust to someone that does not have the skill for it. 53 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.720 These trucks are extremely large and heavy, and we've already 54 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.480 seen just this year too very very horrific collisions. The 55 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.920 one in Austin on I thirty five was terrible. On Tuesday, 56 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.279 May six, another in pattern in a pattern of horrific 57 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.759 crashes involving eighteen wheelers in America. It took place, this 58 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.680 time the small town of Thomasville, Alabama, about one hundred 59 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.079 miles north of Mobile. In a video that went viral 60 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.000 earlier this week, we see attractor trailer driven full speed 61 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.399 into stopped traffic at an intersection, almost as if on purpose. 62 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.240 Cars appears to be vaporized in the crash or flung 63 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.279 aside as if toys. Two innocent motists were killed instantly 64 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.920 and four others sent to the hospital again. These a 65 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.800 tractor trailer is an immense piece of machinery. It will 66 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.319 absolutely destroy a car that is in a collision with it. 67 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.959 We have for the love of the road. 68 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.879 He drives freight, and you know he is a very intelligent, 69 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.800 very serious person, and that is the type of person 70 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.120 I think that should be in charge of these things. 71 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.199 This is not a job for someone that cannot take 72 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.399 it seriously, cannot pay attention. 73 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:41.959 Or follow the rules of the road. 74 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.839 These are incredibly dangerous pieces of machinery that are on 75 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.879 the road with things much much smaller than them. You're 76 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.319 not going to survive a collision with a tractor trailer. 77 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.439 The driver of the semi, Andri Di dim Terko, Yeah, Dimterko, 78 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.480 forty five, is arrested in charge with two counts of 79 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.480 vehicular manslaughter. Is notable about dom Tererko's that he's in 80 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.639 the United States from Ukraine on a work visa. There's 81 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:06.800 some hard questions to be asked about the trucking company 82 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.480 he worked called for called for US transportation company whose 83 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.040 address was registered to a pizza joint in Darien, Illinois. 84 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.240 I guess that's what he was delivering. A tractor trailer 85 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.240 full of pizzas you know, there's just I guess there 86 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.600 comes a time where you need twenty thousand pounds of 87 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.319 pizza all at once. And in this article we have 88 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.800 this tweet from George McGill, Mina and Vladder running a 89 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.399 ghost carrier out of a Dunkin Donuts in Chicago, Land 90 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.040 and the Ukrainian Independent Servant Andri is the guy who 91 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.959 wiped out those people in Alabama yesterday. Be a shame 92 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.759 if you gave them a warm American welcome and let 93 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.040 them know your thoughts. Hey well posted some information there 94 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.560 a relative wife of a fort US Freight Company CEO 95 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.160 video truck dispatcher, a profession that has become popular in 96 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.240 the Balkans in recent years when due to the reduction 97 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.160 of costs of our company in America the alternative to 98 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.000 workforce mister overseas, how much does the average dispatcher earning 99 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.959 the Balkans working for a based in the USA. That's right, 100 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.120 we're even outsourcing our dispatching to different countries. And there 101 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.680 comes a time where you have to do things in 102 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.560 house that the cost of doing business is just the 103 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.920 cost of doing business, or you begin to lose quality. 104 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.279 And now we are beginning to lose lives because of 105 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.279 the people that we have put into these jobs. If 106 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.879 this incident sounds familiar, that is because back in March thirteenth, 107 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.360 in Austin, Texas, a truck driver named Solomon well del 108 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.920 Kiel Araya crashed his truck into park traffic on Interstate 109 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.000 thirty five, killing five people, killing an entire family, and 110 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.160 sending another eleven to a hospital. It was a horrific crash. 111 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.759 It makes me much more nervous every time we drive 112 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.199 down to Texas. At this point, we spend some time 113 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.879 on I thirty five, and every time I'm on that road, 114 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.959 my adrenaline is much higher than it used to be. 115 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.360 Now thirty five has never been a good road, but 116 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.000 it has gotten worse over the year, and now knowing 117 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.959 that these types of people are behind the wheel has 118 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.199 made it even worse. So I think next time we 119 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.680 drive down, we're going to skip I thirty five and 120 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.439 take perhaps a more securitist route. I prefer the back 121 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.079 roads anyway. Mister Ariyah reportedly did not slow down, and 122 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.600 his rig didn't stop until it had smashed into seventeen vehicles. 123 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.800 Mister Ariah, originally from Ethiopia was likewise in America on 124 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.240 a work visa and in this incident, was working for 125 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.839 a subcontractor hauling products for Amazon. And just like the 126 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.240 company mister Dimtierco was working for, they are likewise registered 127 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.360 to a very random address, this time an apartment complex 128 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:39.440 in Dallas, Texas. These people are setting up ghost shops, 129 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:44.039 They're registering in any place they can and hiring people 130 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:44.919 that will. 131 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:45.799 Work for cheap. 132 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:49.440 Every sort of job that you can imagine has basically 133 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.559 been turned into some kind of hustle where the only 134 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.080 objective is to make as much money as quickly as 135 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:55.519 you can. 136 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:56.840 And the. 137 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.720 Quality is suffering, and the American people are now suffering 138 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:08.320 because of it. We are being slowly, solely devolved as 139 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.480 a country and as a people. Over and above the 140 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.159 epidemic of fatal collisions taking place on American roads involving 141 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.799 big rigs driven by in sourced labor of dubious training, 142 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.360 I think dubious might be under selling it just slightly 143 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.559 language proficiency or competence. These same types of companies are 144 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.799 involved in other major issues such as freight fraud and 145 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.879 cargo theft. The new term for these companies is ghost carriers. 146 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.440 Given that, contrary to regulations, they are often registered at 147 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.679 addresses that are not their primary place of business and 148 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.039 where you would never see the trucks that they direct. 149 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.440 The amount of fraud and theft they are often involved 150 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.159 with has gotten so out of hand that even the 151 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.360 mainstream media is starting to notice. When you actually force 152 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.519 the mainstream media to sit up and take notice and 153 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.960 report on something, you know it has reached epidemic proportions, 154 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.120 they do not like to admit that there is any 155 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.600 wrongdoing by any of their protected subgroups. And once you 156 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.879 and to get them to cover it is truly a feat. 157 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.720 Got some more comments. Whistler says he can play the 158 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.879 video from the article, so let's actually go ahead and 159 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.960 take a look at that. He needs one second first, 160 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.080 We got DG eight. Thank you so much for the tip. 161 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:20.360 DG. 162 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.759 God bless you and your family. Prayers for David. Yes, 163 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.759 thank you so much for the prayers. That is truly 164 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.919 what matters most. Again, God is in control of everything. 165 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.919 He has my dad in his hands, and we are 166 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.919 praying so fervently every day, and we are so thankful 167 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.840 that you are as well. It is what matters most, 168 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:38.960 and we cannot thank you. 169 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.840 Enough, and. 170 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:47.000 Yes it is. We cannot wait to have him back 171 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.440 with us, and I know you can't wait either. When 172 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.440 a company registers with a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 173 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.600 or FMCSA and must list its principal place of business 174 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.039 a real physical location where safety and fiber records are kept, 175 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.840 where federal inspectors can conduct on site reviews, it's a 176 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.600 red flag, said Dale Prax, who owns freight Validate, a 177 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.600 company that tracks fraud and identity theft in the trucking industry. 178 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.759 Pract said, hidden carriers often use virtual addresses or pobox 179 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.720 to avoid scrutiny. They cain harder for regulators to keep 180 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.919 tabs on them. 181 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:19.720 That's right. 182 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.559 If they don't know where to find you, they can't 183 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.000 validate and check that you are who you say you are, 184 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.440 or that the people you're hiring are of a quality 185 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.639 that we can trust. Behind the wheel, the bad guys 186 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:33.320 are less app to register properly. Pract said, that is true, 187 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.799 as we can see here. We have living Oh, we 188 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.679 have proof of it. He pointed to one example, a 189 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.320 quiet office in Signal Hill, California. There's a sign out 190 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.919 front that says no trucks allowed yet federal records show 191 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.039 nearly seven hundred truck companies linked to at single location, 192 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.840 roughly five hundred of which lists the same phone number 193 00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:57.679 and email. All right, if we can play the video. 194 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:15.480 Let's play the video. Well that was ye, that's what happens. 195 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:21.879 These trucks are forces of nature when compared to the 196 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.120 other vehicles on the road. How difficult is it for 197 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.279 investigators looking at these crashes when so many of these 198 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:32.320 companies are owned through layers of LLCs. Anywhere you go, 199 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.639 anything you are involved with in the United States now 200 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:40.080 is just covered in layers of bureaucracy. It makes everything 201 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.759 extremely difficult and exceedingly tiresome to deal with. And it 202 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.039 has reached a point where they can't even keep track 203 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.480 of the companies since they have created such a maze 204 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:55.159 of paperwork, many of them registered to random locations all 205 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.480 over the country where their trucks will never actually stop. 206 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.639 How many of these companies are taking advantage of a 207 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:06.240 decade's old lie about a shortage of truckers to then 208 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.240 insource labor, often using companies based in Eastern Europe. Speaking 209 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.080 of that Balkan Truckers website in the incident Alabama, it 210 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.240 seems that the lady who manages that website is a 211 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.879 relative or possibly the wife the owner of the truck 212 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.879 that killed those people. She has some interesting possible connections 213 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:26.679 to Armenian politics. We must have further investigation into this 214 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.480 ecosystem of brokers, recruiters, agents and other parasites who are 215 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:34.399 operating out of Eastern Europe. Yes, it seems as though 216 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.919 many other countries see the United States as nothing but 217 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.919 a piggybank for them to rob. They will employ any 218 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.960 shady business tactic that they can. If they're not directly 219 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.600 involved with siphoning money from the US government through some 220 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:52.799 kind of scheme, as Ukraine was with Zelenski, then they 221 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.320 will set up shop here in the United States, ignore 222 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.039 the laws that the Americans have to deal with, and 223 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.679 use that to their advantage. They will avoid paying as 224 00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:06.960 much tax as possible, and if they get caught, they 225 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.600 just scurry back off to whatever their country they're from, 226 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.120 or they go underground and come back up with a 227 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:16.799 new identity. These people are just here to rob the 228 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.720 United States. They are not interested in a better life. 229 00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.279 They are not interested in the American dream. And if 230 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.120 they are interested in an American dream, it's what has 231 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.200 been sold over the last few years in the sense 232 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.759 of get rich, get rich quick, do it, however you 233 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.720 need to, not the American dream of have a family, 234 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.039 grow close to God, enjoy liberty. That is what the 235 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:44.200 American dream truly was. It was about having a strong, 236 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.159 faithful community, being able to protect your family. 237 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.440 That's what it was. 238 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:56.360 It was never this purely economic, materialistic worldview of I'm 239 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.519 going to get as much as I can for myself 240 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.039 and whatever happens to you anyone else, well, that's their problem. 241 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.080 Got some more comments Talent. Thank you g Talent for 242 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.759 the tip that is very kind, and thank you for 243 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.360 the kind words. I appreciate you all for being so 244 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:17.960 lenient with me and so willing to accept the job 245 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.759 that I'm doing. I really do appreciate it. Honor Seeker, 246 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.480 ive propraye in bob tail and not even pulling a trailer. 247 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.519 But one has to be sober, alert on his toes 248 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.000 at all times. I can imagine. I do not feel 249 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.080 that I would be qualified to drive a truck. I 250 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.279 am a little bit too spacey for something like that. 251 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.120 I would never trust myself behind the wheel of something 252 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.360 of that magnitude. I do not think that I could 253 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.720 handle the responsibility. I think it takes a very alert 254 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:47.279 individual to manage that, and I could. I just couldn't 255 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.559 handle that responsibility. I would not want that on my 256 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.840 conscience where I to have a lapse and the sheer 257 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.399 damage that you can inflict and the tragedy that you 258 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.919 can cause, it is something that we need, you know, competent, 259 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.039 intelligent people on It is not just a job you 260 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:09.080 can outsource and throw to anyone. Have ratus, bro, You 261 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.639 should be nervous. There's so many semi accidents around it. Yes, 262 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.240 it is more and more common. We have this article 263 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.840 here as proof of these two horrific ones. But I 264 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.960 imagine that if these are the ones that are bad 265 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.639 enough to get mainstream news media coverage, that there are 266 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.679 a lot more that don't end up making it, you know, 267 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.399 the ones that don't end in massive death, but perhaps 268 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:32.519 are still you know, tragedies for those involved. It takes 269 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:35.799 a horror to make it to national media at this point, 270 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.440 Knights of the Storm. I've seen several fatal big rig 271 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:41.639 recks this year, and I don't even travel much anymore. Yeah, 272 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.720 they're becoming, as we said, more and more common. It's a. 273 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.279 It's a jungle out there, folks. It is getting worse 274 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.960 and worse every day as we import more and more 275 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.600 people to do more and more things for us. And again, 276 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.639 Knights of the Storm is Jason Barker. You can find 277 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.000 them at Nights of Thestorm dot com.

They all have their own shows and you 283 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:16.160 should check them all out. 284 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.799 They do great, great work. 285 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.279 They are such a blessing as well being able to 286 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.720 host the show. It was a very very very kind 287 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:27.720 of them to take over on such short notice, so 288 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.279 we thank them for that. So thank you, Jason, really 289 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:31.000 appreciate it. 290 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.720 Star Barkley. 291 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.400 We're turning into China, the land of shortcuts and facades. Yes, 292 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.759 we're not quite at that level yet, but it is 293 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.720 rapidly approaching. China has four years put on a front 294 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.319 for the media so that they can pretend to be 295 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.920 more I don't know, robust in any area that they 296 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:54.559 can I've seen many, many videos of buildings or dams 297 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:58.119 or things just crumbling because of the materials that were 298 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.920 used in construction. They and again, it's so hard to 299 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:03.960 tell what's real and what's not. Coming out of China, 300 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.279 there's so many influencers there that simply put out any 301 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.119 sort of content and they use that to generate revenue 302 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.880 as well. But I saw one video where someone broke 303 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.079 open will I think it was a bridge and inside 304 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.440 was corn cobs mixed in with whatever they had used 305 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.160 to manufacture it. That one I'm a little bit skeptical of. 306 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.440 I have a hard time believing that they would do 307 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.759 something that asinine. But it is China. If they need 308 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:30.839 a bridge built and it's a bridge to nowhere and 309 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:32.079 they know no one's going to be over it and 310 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.000 it's just for you know, show, then who knows what 311 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:39.039 they might do? Zen Woman truckers are mostly Indian here 312 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:43.400 in South Arizona. I have seen an enormous amount of 313 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:47.519 increase in the number of Indian truck stop owners on 314 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.079 the route between Tennessee and Texas that my wife take. 315 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.279 You know, we have to stop fairly frequently, and even 316 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.519 more now that we have the baby and there are 317 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.960 so many Indian truck stop owners now and it I remember, 318 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.200 you know, when I was young that was not the case. 319 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:06.599 And they're in very strange places, you know, middle the 320 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:11.039 middle of Arkansas, you know, just absolutely nowhere off the 321 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.279 highway in Texas. You know, you're hours from anywhere, and 322 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.039 there's an Indian restaurant with a truck stop attached to it. 323 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:21.160 And it just is it's becoming very very strange the US. 324 00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.680 The whole melting pot idea was never a good one 325 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:29.400 and it does not really work in practice. Anka ten 326 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.440 sixty one. Does anyone have Dave's site link for kick 327 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:39.160 kick dot com ford slash the David Night Show Kick 328 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:40.920 dot com ford Slash the David Night Show, So if 329 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.000 you want to subscribe on kick you can do that. Yeah, 330 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.079 I think we've covered this article well enough, it is. 331 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.039 Before we move on from that. I'm sure if Dad 332 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:54.720 were here to relay his own personal story with a 333 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.599 trucker smashing into him. He was stopped at a red 334 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:03.480 light and the trucker hit him from behind, pushed him 335 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.000 out into the intersection, and when the police showed up, 336 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.720 the trucker just said no English, no English, no papers, 337 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.359 and the police just let him go. He hit Dad 338 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:20.000 several times, pushing him forward. Then the police said that 339 00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:22.640 it was Dad's fault for having too small a car 340 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.960 and that the trucker couldn't see him. A well trained 341 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.400 trucker would be able to. But they're giving these jobs 342 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.599 to anyone, so it's creating a major hazard. 343 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.519 Yeah that's right, Thank you whistler, Thank you very much. 344 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.839 But yeah, that happened when we were in Texas. 345 00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.440 It was. 346 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:46.559 Somebody driving a dump truck, and since my dad drives Amiata, 347 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.319 the guy did not check, he did not look, and 348 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:52.480 apparently had forgotten that there was a car in front 349 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.599 of him and just floored it as fast as he could. 350 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:58.000 Rear ended my dad, pushed him out in the intersection, 351 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:01.400 hit him multiple times from behind, and that was a 352 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:05.480 very scary experience for them. We're just very thankful God 353 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:09.240 has protected our family in so many ways over the years. 354 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.079 And now I think we're going to go to the hill. 355 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.000 We're gonna talk about Nissan cutting thousands of jobs and 356 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:20.079 shutting multiple factories. So Nissan said Tuesday it is making 357 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.359 a significant reduction or significant reductions to its workforce and 358 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.240 scaling back factory production. Citing results during its just completed 359 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.680 fiscal year, the Japanese automaker said it is aiming to 360 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.640 reduce its workforce by approximately fifteen percent a total of 361 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:37.880 twenty thousand employees between fiscal year twenty twenty four and 362 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.519 fiscal twenty twenty seven, the previously announce reduction of note 363 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.880 including the previously announced reduction of nine thousand workers. Now 364 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.160 this is just my own personal speculation, but I did 365 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.759 a little bit of research, and of course these are 366 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:54.680 numbers you pull from the Internet, so it's hard to 367 00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:59.000 say whether they're factual or not. But apparently in twenty 368 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.920 twenty four sold roughly two hundred eighty six thousand vehicles 369 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.799 in Japan, roughly six hundred ninety six thousand vehicles in China, 370 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.759 and nine hundred and twenty four thousand vehicles in the 371 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:16.559 United States. So Japan and China together are nine or 372 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.079 eighty three thousand, one un and sixty five, which is 373 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.880 or fifty nine thousand or seven more than the singular 374 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.759 US market. So the US is the lion's share of 375 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:28.599 their market. North America accounts for thirty eight percent, US 376 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:34.279 for twenty seven percent of that thirty eight Now why 377 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:41.079 would they be reducing their production so much. I think 378 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.759 personally it's because they are incredibly uncertain of what is 379 00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.519 going to happen in the North American market. I believe 380 00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:49.000 they are looking at where they sell the vast majority 381 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:54.160 of their cars, and how incredibly unstable of an economic 382 00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:58.079 zone this is, and thinking of themselves, can we justify 383 00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:00.680 the level of production we have been maintained for years. 384 00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.880 So personally, I think Nissan is looking at America as 385 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:09.000 a bad investment, and they are preemptively cutting the fat 386 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:13.920 and removing some of their factories and trying to get 387 00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:17.319 down the number of people they have to pay, seeing 388 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:22.000 perhaps the collapse of the American economy on the horizon. 389 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:25.400 Now that's just speculation on my part, but when you 390 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:28.079 account for the fact that the North American market is 391 00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:31.559 thirty eight percent of their total, and neither the United 392 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.359 States nor Canada is in a good place right now 393 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:37.240 and are most likely headed for worse times, to me, 394 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:40.039 it makes a little bit of sense that they would 395 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:44.119 be looking at it suspiciously and cutting back now. Of course, 396 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.160 car companies have also just been suffering over the years 397 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:50.839 as more and more regulations are piled on and they 398 00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:54.599 are told to do more and more absurd things, such 399 00:23:54.599 --> 00:24:00.519 as maintain EPA standards and move towards electric vehicles. But 400 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.920 as it stands, personally, I'm looking at it as a 401 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.559 Nissan being very, very unoptimistic when it comes to the 402 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.839 American market. In particular Green Tea three sixty nine blaming 403 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.119 the victim for having too small a car. That cop 404 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.359 never rides a motorcycle. Yeah, that was truly an example 405 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.000 of our police force at work. They are here to 406 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.640 mostly harass you. They are here to ticket you and 407 00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:30.279 make revenue off of you. They are a source of 408 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:32.759 revenue generation for the state. We have seen it routinely 409 00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.680 where someone gets stopped there carrying a large amount of 410 00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:37.599 cash because they're going to make a purchase, whether it 411 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.319 be a vehicle or something for their business, and the 412 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.920 police just sees it. They assume they are part of 413 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.599 a drug deal, or they say they assume it, and 414 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.759 then they take that money and very rarely does the 415 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:50.839 person end up getting it back. It is put into 416 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.759 lock up, it is seized, and then it disappears into 417 00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:55.319 the system and if you want it back, you were 418 00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.960 going to have to fight the government for it. And 419 00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:02.160 the government has all time in the world. They are 420 00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:05.799 going to drag it out. They are going to you know, 421 00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:08.880 hit you with every sort of technicality that they can, 422 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.960 and they will make sure that it will be a 423 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:14.799 long and arduous process for you to deal with them 424 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.880 and get anything back. When the government takes something from you, 425 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:21.519 it is very, very difficult to get them to relinquish it. 426 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.400 I think that we will take a quick break and 427 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:28.519 when we come back, we might take a look at 428 00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:30.920 what happened with India and Pakistan. 429 00:25:32.039 --> 00:27:26.599 Stay with us. 430 00:26:33.000 --> 00:27:04.319 Who you're listening to the David Knight Show. 431 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:08.519 And welcome back. 432 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.920 We have a comment from SECASK but let's give these 433 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.200 illegals their due process. We wouldn't want to throw any 434 00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:16.640 of those bumps out of the country. The due process 435 00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:19.920 for illegals is to throw them out of the country. See, 436 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:23.640 we already have a system in place. If someone isn't illegal, 437 00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:27.000 then what they are entitled to is to be removed 438 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.880 from the country. I'm not saying that we need to 439 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.920 give them special privileges, but if you know, if they 440 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:38.440 are here legally, or if they have somehow been grandfathered in, 441 00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:44.160 then there are extenuating circumstances and you are entitled to 442 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:47.440 due process. That is how the system works. And if 443 00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:52.359 we do not uphold the rights for the everyone, eventually 444 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:54.359 the government comes for our rights. It's simple as that. 445 00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.680 Sometimes double standards look nice, but eventually they take it 446 00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.720 from you as well. That's just how these things work. 447 00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:06.400 The government does not like having a The government does 448 00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.640 not like the American people, and they will use any 449 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.200 sort of precedent to come after you as well. 450 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:16.039 To iterate on that, yes, the due process for any 451 00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.319 illegal that is found to be illegal is to throw 452 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:20.440 them out of the country, but then throwing them into 453 00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:23.279 a maximum security prison on top of that should only 454 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:26.079 be done if they are found guilty of a crime. 455 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.319 That is the issue is that he has a suspended due 456 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:35.119 process in the matter of you know, jailing these people 457 00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:39.240 in horrible, horrible conditions, which some of them do deserve, 458 00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.200 you know, if they have committed the crime, but you 459 00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:43.960 need to have a trial to determine that. 460 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:50.119 Yes, exactly, they are being just sent to a absolutely hellish prison. 461 00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:54.640 And if their only crime is crossing the border, that 462 00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.000 does not that is not a punishment that fits it. 463 00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:57.440 It is. 464 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:01.960 Unchristian tooth that way. And of course, you know, you 465 00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.079 have to be a Christian for that to apply. But 466 00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.240 I also I know I'm doing it frequently, but I 467 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:09.119 want to say, please continue to pray for our dad. 468 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:10.920 It is a struggle for. 469 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:13.640 Him, So just continual reminders because it is always on 470 00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.160 my mind.

So thank 500 00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:47.640 you all so much, and we cannot thank you enough. 501 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:52.960 Now let's take a look at war. I've got this 502 00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:58.400 article from zero Hedge. Here, China emerges as the only 503 00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:03.599 real winter in India's pack castanny sandbox with unprecedented combat testing. 504 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:13.559 Now we see this routinely with any sort of conflict 505 00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:23.440 anywhere in the world. These these companies that manufacture devices 506 00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.839 for the military or vehicles, missiles, bombs, they are the 507 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:31.039 true winners in these conflicts. Raytheon Lockey, Martin Boeing All 508 00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:35.359 of these companies tend to make out like bandits as 509 00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:42.480 they send our young men to die. And of course 510 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:46.359 we have people like Lindsey Graham who are deeply indebted 511 00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:51.119 to the military industrial complex, who want nothing more than 512 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:54.799 to get involved in another war anywhere in the world 513 00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:58.640 so that they can enrich themselves further so that they 514 00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:01.839 can line their pockets. And they do not care how 515 00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:05.319 much blood is spilt, whether it's ours or the innocent 516 00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:11.519 lives caught in between the American military and whatever evil 517 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.359 quote unquote they are fighting at the time it is. 518 00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:20.240 And as we can see, this is not just something 519 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:24.960 that is part of American culture. Every single country around 520 00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:30.640 the globe has their own military industrial complex that they 521 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:35.119 are beholden to that is deeply entrenched within their own bureaucracy, 522 00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:39.480 and are going to stir up conflict and get involved 523 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.880 with conflict just so that they can have a testing 524 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.480 ground for their shiny new death machine. They want to 525 00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.279 be able to brag to someone in government and make 526 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:51.559 a sales pitch like, oh yeah, we have real world 527 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:54.640 testing of this and it turns out that this is 528 00:32:54.759 --> 00:33:01.799 incredibly lethal. They want the lethality is the point, and 529 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:06.880 these people want nothing more than to build a machine 530 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.960 to kill us all. Once they have that. 531 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:10.559 I. 532 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.839 Mean, where can you go from there? If you're a 533 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:19.680 raytheon Truly, that is the apotheosis of their technology, a 534 00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.240 button that just simply wipes out all life on the planet. 535 00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.880 From Reason Magazine, The Indian Pakistani ceasefire is what US 536 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.440 diplomacy should look like. Sitting on the sidelines. Let America 537 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:34.839 play a neutral mediator and talk down both sides, and 538 00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:39.359 I hope that this is a long lasting piece. I 539 00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:43.359 genuinely hope the best for both of these countries. I 540 00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:46.920 would like to see the conflict end. There are so 541 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:50.799 many people in each of these countries, and the loss 542 00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:52.839 of life would be staggering if they went to war, 543 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.759 the sheer number of civilian casualties it probably be, it 544 00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.359 would be a horror that the world has as not 545 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:04.240 seen for decades. At this point. America didn't start the 546 00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.119 fire between India and Pakistan, but US diplomacy ended it. 547 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:11.360 After four days of nerve racking combat between two nuclear 548 00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.000 armed powers. The Worlds for the World first heard from 549 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.400 US President Donald Trump that both sides had agreed to 550 00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:21.000 a ceasefire after a long night of talks. Mediated by 551 00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.199 the United States. I am pleased to announce that India 552 00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.079 and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire, 553 00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:29.480 the President wrote on truth social on Saturday afternoon. Congratulations 554 00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.519 to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence. 555 00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:36.199 Although the Indian government denied the role of a third 556 00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:39.960 party intervention in ending the crisis, Pakistani Foreign Minister Munir 557 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:42.519 Dhar confirmed that the US was one of the three 558 00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:46.320 dozen countries whose diplomats tried to mediate between the warring countries. 559 00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:49.320 Secretary of State Mark Rubio had talked with both Indian 560 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.239 and Pakistani officials over the weekend, telling them to resume 561 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:56.159 contact with each other. Now I'm curious, did they both 562 00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:58.280 have Indian Pakistan both had a deal with market WI. 563 00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:00.360 Do you think they just bonded over the that they 564 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.280 both hate Marco Rubio? They had to deal with him, 565 00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:04.719 and like, oh man, he's a slimy little weasel, isn't he. 566 00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.519 And they just decided, you know, all right, instead of 567 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.519 hating each other, we can just hate Marco Rubio. Perhaps 568 00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:13.559 he's the avatar of hate in this scenario. Maybe that's 569 00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.880 what his job is. Trump sends out Marco Rubio to 570 00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:19.440 these warring countries and they realize, you know, we're not 571 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.800 so different, but him, he's disgusting. I hate that guy. 572 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:24.719 We both hate that guy. Well, if you hate him, 573 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:28.800 you can't be all bad. Vice President JD. Vance personally 574 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.320 called Indian Prime Minister out of end of Moody and 575 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:35.960 of course very very anti Christian regime in India at 576 00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.119 the moment. Mody is no friend of the Christians. It 577 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.960 is not good for Christians in India at this point. 578 00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.559 And if war were to escalate, I can only imagine 579 00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.599 they would be some of the first people to be 580 00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:50.079 left by the sidelines. The government would do nothing to 581 00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.920 protect the Christians there after underestuding alarming intelligence about it 582 00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.440 dramatic escalation, CNN reports. Just a day before, Vance had 583 00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.760 told Fox News that the Indian Pakistani conflict was fundamentally 584 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:03.079 none of our business and indeed neither side realized on 585 00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.599 American weapons, funding or protection. That's the most surprising thing 586 00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:10.440 about this whole scenario. Neither of these That's why we 587 00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:13.760 stopped it. That's why we stopped it, folks. This is 588 00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:16.280 what it is. Neither of them are using our weapons. 589 00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:17.239 Now. 590 00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:20.000 If one of them signs a contract with Raytheon, Boeing, 591 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.000 Lockheed Martin, any of these companies that supply our military 592 00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:25.559 industrial complex. You can bet the war is back on. 593 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:27.679 They're going to send Marco Rubio back out and he's 594 00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.320 going to get them back at each other's throats. So 595 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:32.400 look out for that, folks in the coming months. If 596 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:35.519 Pakistan or India buys a lot of you know, ballistic 597 00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.119 missiles from the United States, you can bet they are 598 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.360 going back to war. I'm being facetious here. Of course, 599 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.559 it wasn't always so. Pakistan was a close Cold World 600 00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:48.079 partner of the United States, which gave it billions of 601 00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:51.280 dollars in military aid. The Knicks administration infamously rushed weapons 602 00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:55.360 to Pakistan during the brutal attempt to suppress the Bangladeshi 603 00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:58.960 independence movement in nineteen seventy one, but the relationship cooled 604 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:02.360 over the following decade, and the Trump administration finally cut 605 00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:05.639 most US military a to Pakistan in twenty eighteen. That's right, folks, 606 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:08.239 we fell out of love with Pakistan. You know, we 607 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:10.960 just went it wasn't us, it was them, or it 608 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:12.679 wasn't them. It was us one way or the other. 609 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:16.199 And you know, we just didn't have any need for 610 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.039 a little puppet state in that area anymore. Vance's intervention 611 00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.320 wouldn't be the first time a US administration step between 612 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:24.880 the India and Pakistan. In the nineteen nineties, then President 613 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:28.880 George HW. Bush reportedly sent a secret envoy to talk 614 00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.320 to the two governments down from launching premptive strikes against 615 00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:33.599 each other. In two thousand and one, then President George W. 616 00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:38.440 Bus Bush used shuttle diplomacy to defuse another India Pakistan crisis. 617 00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:42.960 This is just a continual pot that's boiling. These countries 618 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:44.840 hate each other, and they have hated each other for 619 00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:50.320 my entire lifetime and longer than that, so I would 620 00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.000 not be surprised if we actually do see a war 621 00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:58.239 from them at some point. The the cultural differences, the 622 00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.559 religious differences, the these people do not like each other, 623 00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:04.679 and this is not something that can really be mediated 624 00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:10.360 by third parties or really by anything. In my opinion, 625 00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:12.760 the fact that they are so close to each other 626 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:16.800 and are this hostile will probably mean an eventual war 627 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.599 of some kind, and we can only hope that it 628 00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:22.199 is swift and as clean as possible, and we are 629 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:29.519 not involved. Both sides were operating with perverse incentives. India's 630 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.440 military advantage over Pakistan gave Indian leaders and incentive to 631 00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:34.719 move forward a full scale conventional war, like the US 632 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.119 during the Cold War and Russia after the Cold War, 633 00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:39.159 both of which tried to use nuclear threats to make 634 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.039 up for conventional military disadvantages. Pakistan in turn and incentive 635 00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:45.039 to keep nuclear first strike on the table. 636 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:45.920 That's right. 637 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:52.119 India has many, many, many people in the military. India 638 00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:56.239 has an immense population and as such they are more 639 00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:58.920 than willing to throw their military into the meat grinder 640 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:03.039 of conflict. They will be able to overwhelm Pakistan with 641 00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:09.679 sheer numbers it in a conventional war. India has an 642 00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:13.760 extreme advantage troop numbers are they still count for a 643 00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:17.800 lot in the fact that they can just annex more 644 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:21.599 ground by sheer number of people. We have a comment 645 00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.400 from Brian dev McCartney Travis Whistler. How's your mom holding up? 646 00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:27.920 Many prayers for her strength and encouragement. Yes, please pray 647 00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:29.840 for my mom as well. I know I haven't asked 648 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.280 you to, but that is my own fault for being 649 00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:34.639 less thoughtful than I should have been. She has been 650 00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:37.960 incredibly strong. She has held up incredibly well. Our mom 651 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:41.519 is very, very tough. She has endured a lot, and 652 00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.519 she is she has a wonderful woman. She doesn't complain, 653 00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:49.639 she just works very very hard. But we can tell 654 00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:52.679 that this has taken a toll on her. I mean, 655 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:55.599 of course it would have to, you know, it's a 656 00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.280 very it's a very difficult situation. But she has been 657 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.119 amazing through this. She has given my dad so much 658 00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:04.000 support and has been there for him every step of 659 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.960 the way. Our mom is a truly incredible, wonderful, godly 660 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:10.039 woman and we have been so blessed to have her 661 00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:15.360 as our mom. So she is tired and she is stressed, 662 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:19.079 but as always, she is amazing and she is doing 663 00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.800 everything she can to make sure that my dad has 664 00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:25.840 everything he needs, and she has been with him for 665 00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:29.199 every moment that he wasn't in surgery. So please keep 666 00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:31.800 her in your prayers, Please lift her up as well, 667 00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.760 and give her peace and comfort and the strength that 668 00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:39.400 she needs to continue to be there for him. And yes, 669 00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:42.639 thank you for thank you for that comment, Brian Deed McCartney. 670 00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:44.599 Really really glad to see you there. 671 00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:46.880 All right. 672 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:52.239 So that was the India Pakistan conflict. Now I saw 673 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.440 this article on zero Hedge, and this one interested me 674 00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.039 a lot personally. This is right up my alley in 675 00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:03.039 a sort of I tend to enjoy sort of psychological 676 00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:08.039 analysis of things or just looking at the psychology of people. 677 00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:11.880 I'm a complete pseudo intellectual, of course, but you know 678 00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.880 that's what pseudo intellectuals like. So on zero Hedge. Psychmeds 679 00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:18.199 and Veblin goods. 680 00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:20.400 In heis and this. 681 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:23.320 Is authored by Jeffrey A. Tucker via the Epoch Times. 682 00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:27.280 In high school in West Texas in the late nineteen seventies, 683 00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:31.079 psych meds were Veblin goods that his products desired as 684 00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:35.119 market as markers of status. They were conspicuously consumed by 685 00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.800 the children of the well to do, with profound awareness 686 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.320 that their schoolmates could neither could afford neither the treatment 687 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.480 nor the supposed cure. So the kids I knew, many 688 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.320 of them, they would tolerate me in their circles. From 689 00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:50.679 time to time, would brag about their diagnosis, their prescriptions, 690 00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:52.840 the mix, and how it made them feel. They would 691 00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.320 carry their pills and show them off, rattling off names 692 00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:59.039 of this or that drug and laughing mischievously about it all. 693 00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.400 There was nothing particul killarly maudlin about them. Except as performance. 694 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.000 They were genuinely proud, the way one might be when 695 00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:08.360 wearing an overpriced luxury coat or shoes. The pills were 696 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.719 just part of the mix, so they paraded their supposed 697 00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:16.800 maladies as badges of honor. I think we can see 698 00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:21.960 this again playing out with the what people call the 699 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:26.000 mental health crisis of the United States now, and especially 700 00:42:26.079 --> 00:42:32.880 with the transgender movement. Any sort of you know, illness 701 00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:37.039 is now a marker that puts you higher up in 702 00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:40.920 the hierarchy of oppression. If you have you know, depression 703 00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:45.639 or any sort of mental malady, you have something that 704 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:47.519 you can cling to and point to and say, well, 705 00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:47.840 you know. 706 00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:48.599 I've got this. 707 00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:50.719 So if you're okay, that. 708 00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:53.880 Makes you, you know, an oppressor of some kind. It 709 00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:57.440 puts you beneath them. The only way to elevate yourself 710 00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:01.239 in today's America is to have something wrong with you, 711 00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:05.079 to have something that entitles you to the support of 712 00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:09.079 other people in some way or the other. And the LGBT, 713 00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:15.280 especially the t's, have long been a proponent of this ideology. 714 00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:17.000 We can see it in the way they act in 715 00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:20.719 all fields, the way that any you know, any straight 716 00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:24.239 man or woman is the enemy to them in many 717 00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:28.840 senses of the word. And this mental illness is what 718 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.920 makes them special. Their desire to mutilate themselves elevates them 719 00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:36.320 over you and makes them a better person than you are, 720 00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:42.559 simply because they are mentally ill and they are completely 721 00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:49.480 unwell and wish to reshape society around themselves. It gives 722 00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:54.920 them a cloak the media, a shield for them to 723 00:43:55.199 --> 00:44:00.920 bash you with. They are inoculated against criticism, while you 724 00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.159 are seen as evil by default. This is a continual 725 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:11.480 way of operation, and we can see this from the 726 00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:14.039 way you know it was back even in the nineteen seventies. 727 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:19.000 There was always a sniffy air of detachment, of detachment 728 00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:22.760 culture of these There's always a sniffy air of detachment 729 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:27.719 culture of these kids. Nonchalant disregard for all systems, whether 730 00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.880 school or family or church or even society at large. 731 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:32.599 They were above it all, and the meds and the 732 00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:34.840 condition they were addressing were part of that. It was 733 00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:38.159 a class marker. There was even a hint of politics 734 00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:41.400 about it, and underscoring and display of alienation. They were 735 00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:44.000 at once the top of the social heap, but disdainful 736 00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:49.719 of it. Most of these kids excelled in their grades 737 00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.639 and set their sites high in college applications, with no 738 00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:54.920 doubt that they would succeed. They would do so despite 739 00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:59.960 their profound mental condition, which they blamed on parents, social structures, teachers, protocol, 740 00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:03.079 and the machine. Generally, society had made them sick, but 741 00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:05.800 the meds gave them freedom to float above it all. 742 00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.400 I've not followed their lives since then. Maybe they dropped 743 00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:10.800 them after college. 744 00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:11.199 And lived normally. 745 00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:14.599 Maybe not. None will likely write memoirs, so we'll never know. 746 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:18.920 Regardless of the decades since this veblin Good went the 747 00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:22.039 way of all luxury purchases, over time it became mainstream. 748 00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:24.920 Psychmeds are now common among adults and children. It's a 749 00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:28.960 massive industry. Like cell phones and TVs generations ago, they 750 00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:34.119 migrated through the class structure year by year. It truly 751 00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:37.599 is amazing the sheer number of people in today's society 752 00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:44.760 that are on some form of medication, the especially psychological. Anytime, 753 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:48.840 I don't really watch TV that much, usually only if 754 00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:52.000 we're traveling, you know, My wife and I will stop 755 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.400 at a hotel halfway between Texas and Tennessee somewhere. And 756 00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:57.400 since the TV is the only thing they have. You'll 757 00:45:57.400 --> 00:45:59.639 flip it on for a bit, and it feels as 758 00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:02.119 though fit fifty percent of commercials are for some form 759 00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:07.239 of antidepressant or some way of managing anxiety. And it 760 00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:14.480 is horrifying to think that so many people are using 761 00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:19.800 chemicals to manage themselves and what it might be doing 762 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:24.000 to them. We've seen what SSRIs do to people and 763 00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:29.800 the ways it can change them, and the shear how 764 00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:33.280 dangerous it can make them as it warps their personality 765 00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:37.760 and turns them, some of them into mass murderers. It 766 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.599 is deeply concerning on every level that the American public 767 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:49.239 feels the need to escape reality and escape themselves through 768 00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:55.440 chemical alteration. And so many people are you know, they 769 00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:58.119 cannot function at this point unless they have it. It 770 00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:03.280 is getting scary and scarier that more and more people 771 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:09.760 are just unable to cope with reality unless they are 772 00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:11.960 chemically enhanced or altered or. 773 00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:14.840 Just It is a deep. 774 00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:19.280 Concern of mine, and the therapy culture as well has gotten 775 00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:21.559 out of hand. The sheer number of people that think, oh, 776 00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:25.920 everyone needs therapy. Everyone needs to go and chat with someone, 777 00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:29.159 a paid friend that will tell you different ways of 778 00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:32.440 coping with things and then potentially prescribe you some little 779 00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:36.119 pills that can modify your behavior so that you can 780 00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:40.599 feel a little bit of happiness. We have created a 781 00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:44.119 worse rat race over and over again. 782 00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.320 It's truly amazing how many people are on these pills, 783 00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:50.079 and if only a small percentage of them have these 784 00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:54.239 kind of reactions, that's still a staggering number of people. Yes, 785 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:57.280 I think one of the best ways of showing that 786 00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.320 is the people that don't commit matter shootings but almost did. 787 00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:06.719 Like there's several stories that my dad has relayed, such 788 00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:11.000 as the one where the person was pointing a gun 789 00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:13.519 at his class and then pointing it back at himself 790 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:15.960 and then pointing it at the class and then you know, 791 00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:19.840 eventually just dazed and they wrestled the gun away from 792 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:23.280 him and then had absolutely no memory of any of that. 793 00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:27.119 And there's several stories of basically the exact same thing 794 00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:28.199 of that happening. 795 00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:32.920 Yes, yes, it's much more common than they want you 796 00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:36.480 to believe. They do everything they can to cover up 797 00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:38.440 when there's a side effect for one of their little 798 00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:40.920 pet drugs that they love to push on people and 799 00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:43.360 makes them a lot of money. So we can only 800 00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:47.920 imagine how many of these things go unreported or underreported. 801 00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:52.519 These people, you know, as a whistler, said that he was. 802 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.599 He had no memory of it. It completely took him over. 803 00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:59.079 He was not himself at all. He had no idea 804 00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:03.480 what had happened when he came to himself. And that 805 00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:07.840 is an incredibly scary thought, the fact that these chemicals 806 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:12.280 can take you over and make you do things that, 807 00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:15.480 under normal circumstances you would be horrified by. 808 00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:18.000 And you know that's. 809 00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.880 This isn't a if you're on these pills. This isn't 810 00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:23.760 a matter of willpower. It's not a well, you know, 811 00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:26.280 if you just don't want to do it, you won't 812 00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.360 do it. No, this is a you know, it chemically 813 00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.239 alters you. It changes you, It makes you a completely 814 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:35.440 different person. It's not that this kid wanted to hurt them, 815 00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:40.880 as obvious, it is a It's a very very sad 816 00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:45.320 and very very scary thing that these pharmaceutical companies are 817 00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:48.239 able to push these poisons on people, and so many 818 00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:51.480 people just blindly accept them and give them to children. 819 00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:54.000 Angry tigers Den, good to see you, Good to see you, 820 00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:56.199 Thanks for being here. People have lost the connection with 821 00:49:56.280 --> 00:49:58.559 God all the things that you were talking about are 822 00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:01.320 a symptom of this God. There is no moral compass 823 00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:03.639 and there is no hope for these people, utterly an 824 00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:06.519 empty existence in which they replace God with themselves. This 825 00:50:06.599 --> 00:50:09.440 is unfulfilling in a road to nowhere. Yes, that is 826 00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:13.239 exactly right. If you do not have God, you will 827 00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:16.280 try to fill that void with anything and everything, whether 828 00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:23.360 it's chemicals or you know, money, men or women, you know, 829 00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:27.400 whichever one, you will try to fill it with anything 830 00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:30.079 and everything, and eventually they will all let you down 831 00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:32.559 and you will be more empty than you ever were before. 832 00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:34.360 I mean, it's. 833 00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:36.920 Cliche, but you see it all the time when people 834 00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:40.159 get rich. You know, for a while, they seem incredibly happy. 835 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:43.280 You know, they're having the time of their life. It 836 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:47.039 would seem they're buying whatever they want, they're going wherever 837 00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:49.159 they want, they're spending time with whoever they want. And 838 00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:52.679 then we see it over and over again where they 839 00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:55.280 just become more and more miserable. They end up addicted 840 00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:59.199 to drugs or you know, destroying their own lives in 841 00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:02.519 some way. And it's because these things do not fulfill you. 842 00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.639 They can be part of a happy life, but they 843 00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:11.320 are not the source of a happy life. Christ is 844 00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:15.840 the only thing that truly matters in this world. He 845 00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:18.719 is God, is the source of all joy, and if 846 00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:22.079 you do not have God, then you have nothing at all. 847 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:26.280 It is I forget who said it, and it's a 848 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:28.760 I remember hearing it all my life. But man has 849 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:31.519 a God shaped hole in his heart and nothing else 850 00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:37.039 will fill that hole. You cannot There is no amount 851 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.840 of earthly possessions that can fulfill you. You cannot spend 852 00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:44.159 your way to happiness. You cannot do drugs, you cannot 853 00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:49.599 spend time with even the most amazing people and feel fulfilled. Eventually, 854 00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:52.840 it all comes down to the fact that we need 855 00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:57.039 a Lord and savior, and Christ gave that to us. 856 00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:01.400 Soiling Goy, Perhaps the drug need a reason to be prescribed, 857 00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:04.880 so mental disorders are invented for that purpose. I thoroughly 858 00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:10.239 agree with you there. The over diagnoses of conditions is 859 00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:14.400 something that we are dealing with. These doctors love to 860 00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:17.079 have a purpose, and if you're not sick, what's the 861 00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:21.360 reason for having them There? Psychiatrists will bring you in 862 00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:24.280 and they will tell you, oh, yes, you have an 863 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:27.559 anxiety disorder, you have this, you have that, and you 864 00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:30.159 know what you need this medication, and you need to 865 00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:32.079 go see a therapist, and you should see a therapist 866 00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:34.039 multiple times a week or at least once a week, 867 00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:36.719 as often as you can. And it is part of 868 00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:40.880 the medical industrial complex. They are getting it is about 869 00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:44.760 making money. And that has always been something that has 870 00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:46.960 blown my mind, is that people will be like, oh, yeah, 871 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:49.159 I love my therapist. They listen to me. It's like, 872 00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:54.960 don't you have friends or family if how can a 873 00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.760 therapist do more for you than what your friends and 874 00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:01.800 family can. The therapist doesn't care about you. They're being paid. 875 00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:03.920 The therapist isn't going to continue to listen to you 876 00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:07.519 once that money stops coming in. Your friends and family 877 00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.480 actually do care about you. They are there for you 878 00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:12.960 in times of trouble. That's why God has given them 879 00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:18.800 to us. And just so many people will utterly avoid 880 00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:21.360 talking about their problems with their friends or their family. 881 00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:22.599 They will. 882 00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:27.000 Have contempt for them almost in that sense, like oh no, 883 00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:29.320 I wouldn't talk to them. You know they don't have 884 00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:35.159 a degree, whereas you know your parents have years of 885 00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:38.840 wisdom and have probably gone through at least something similar 886 00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:41.599 and can tell you how they handled it as opposed 887 00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:44.960 to a therapist who has just spent you know, probably 888 00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:47.800 a decade in school and has no real life experience. 889 00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:52.920 So that is my take on that overminch. Happiness comes 890 00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:56.920 from purpose, I agree, the purpose of serving God. That 891 00:53:57.079 --> 00:54:01.199 is where I believe Wally Walras, I love my Christian 892 00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:06.599 counseling center. Yes, if you have Christian counseling where they 893 00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.360 are doing it from a biblical basis and pointing you 894 00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:13.000 towards God as in the end, the answer to all things, 895 00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:16.440 and knowing that He will get you through this, I 896 00:54:16.440 --> 00:54:19.159 think that can be a very valuable thing. But secular 897 00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:22.840 therapy is really more about putting yourself on a pedestal 898 00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:29.320 and idolizing yourself. And that's my opinion on these things. 899 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:32.880 I haven't gone down the rabbit hole of thoroughly correlating, 900 00:54:33.360 --> 00:54:37.039 collating my ideas and putting them into a concise narrative structure. 901 00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:39.800 On why dislike therapy so much like that. 902 00:54:40.039 --> 00:54:43.920 Says the psychology is the study of the soul from 903 00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:47.159 a group of people that deny the souls even exist. 904 00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:55.679 It's yeah, these people want to give you eternal purpose 905 00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:57.920 when they don't believe there is an eternity. Soilent goy. 906 00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:00.199 Are you sad, here's a pill. Are you angry? There's 907 00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:02.920 a pill. Did you eat pancakes this morning? Here's a pill. 908 00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:06.920 That's right, there's a pill for everything. And then when 909 00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:09.159 that pill starts giving you side effects, there's a pill 910 00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:13.400 for that too. They will medicate you into the grave. 911 00:55:14.039 --> 00:55:17.159 It is all about getting you to take more and 912 00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:21.199 more medication. Because it is a money making scheme. They 913 00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:25.480 will medicate you down to the grave. I think we're 914 00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:28.400 going to take a quick break and we will be 915 00:55:29.159 --> 00:55:30.320 right back. 916 00:56:25.400 --> 00:58:13.000 In defending the American dream. You're listening to the David 917 00:58:13.119 --> 00:59:37.079 Night Show analyzing the globalist next move in the Deevid 918 00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:37.679 Nut Show. 919 00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:42.440 Welcome back, folks. We've got plenty of comments here, soilent goy. 920 00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:48.960 When there's so much irrational hatred, irrational nonsense going on, 921 00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.280 it doesn't surprise me that a lot of people have anxiety. Yeah, 922 00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:55.239 they are constantly putting fear out into the world. That 923 00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:57.440 is one of the big purposes of the twenty four 924 00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:00.119 hour news cycle. I'm not saying anything new here, but 925 01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:02.599 that has been one of the worst things that has 926 01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:05.199 ever happened to the American people. Just this constant fear 927 01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:08.559 mongering anytime you want to, you can turn on the 928 01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:11.360 TV or go online and find something to be afraid of. 929 01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:15.280 They can continually tell you over and over again that 930 01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:17.159 this is happening or that's happening, and you need to 931 01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:20.519 be afraid of it, despite the fact that statistically you 932 01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:25.880 are still very, very safe. They want to continually hammer 933 01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:29.440 you over the head with fear. A fearful population is 934 01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:31.960 one that is easy to control. You will sign away 935 01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:36.800 your liberties if they can promise you. It's an easier 936 01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:39.800 thing to make the sale when there is more to 937 01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:43.239 be afraid of than there is when it's a safe country. 938 01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:47.719 Right overture Jesus is the only answer. Yes, I completely 939 01:00:47.760 --> 01:00:50.559 agree with you. Right overture. I ask that you please 940 01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:53.559 keep my dad in your prayers. Please lift him up 941 01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:58.239 before our Lord and Savior. Thank you very much, Zoro seventy. 942 01:00:58.360 --> 01:01:04.360 Psychology is a pseudo religon and pure scam plus the 943 01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:14.000 delicition of good and bad deletion. Yeah, they have removed 944 01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:17.440 the idea of good and evil from the public consciousness. 945 01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:21.119 As a general rule, things are very morally gray now. 946 01:01:21.639 --> 01:01:24.960 They want you to continually feel sympathy for people who 947 01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:32.280 do evil, but will demonize anyone that pushes a Christian 948 01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:36.599 worldview on anyone else. So I goy again. One of 949 01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:38.800 the big problems is the current culture is isolating a 950 01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:40.960 lot of people, no friends, no family. The lockdown was 951 01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:43.400 a big part of that. Yes, people are more isolated 952 01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:45.960 than they've ever been, and there is a reason that 953 01:01:46.119 --> 01:01:48.039 the worst thing that they can do to people in 954 01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:51.440 prison is to put them in solitary confinement. When you 955 01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:57.440 are alone, it becomes much much more difficult. Humans are 956 01:01:57.440 --> 01:02:00.320 meant to have community, meant to have family, and if 957 01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:05.239 you do not have that, you begin to lose perspective 958 01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:08.000 on things, and it becomes a form of torture. 959 01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:09.079 It is. 960 01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:14.480 It is incredibly dangerous to be left all alone with 961 01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:18.360 your own thoughts and not ever interact with other people. 962 01:02:18.440 --> 01:02:22.400 It is easy to spiral and to just you know, 963 01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:23.239 lose yourself. 964 01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:25.519 Star Barkley. 965 01:02:25.639 --> 01:02:27.559 My sister gave me half an ambient once and the 966 01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:30.920 next day was telling me things I said and did 967 01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:33.840 that I didn't remember. Never took it again. Yeah, that 968 01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:36.880 seems to be a very common problem with things like ambient. Now, 969 01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:39.079 of course, people may be using it as an excuse 970 01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:41.679 to get out of the consequences of things they've said 971 01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:44.079 or done. But we've seen many many people come out 972 01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:46.039 and say, yeah, I have no recollection of that. I 973 01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:49.519 took ambient or a sleeping medication of some sort, and 974 01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:52.760 you know, I just blacked out. I don't know who 975 01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:55.519 that was that said those things, but whoever it was, 976 01:02:55.599 --> 01:02:57.480 it wasn't me. I wasn't in control of my own 977 01:02:57.480 --> 01:02:58.400 body at the time. 978 01:02:59.440 --> 01:02:59.840 Nights of this. 979 01:03:00.360 --> 01:03:03.119 They don't seek to cure problems. They want lifelong customers. Yes, 980 01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:06.599 that is the continual That seems to be continual rule 981 01:03:06.639 --> 01:03:10.239 of thumb for any part of the medical industry. They 982 01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:14.199 want you coming back over and over again. A therapist 983 01:03:14.599 --> 01:03:17.320 is not going to get paid if he actually fixes 984 01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:21.639 his client. They want you to come back weekly for 985 01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:25.639 your little vent session where they can tell you, oh, 986 01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:30.559 you know, you're right, you're right. It's you don't need 987 01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:34.239 to work on yourself or change your perspective or change 988 01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:38.599 how you view things or do things. It is simply 989 01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:42.760 a way for them to get validation. It is a 990 01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:46.400 form of self worship. In my opinion, a Syrian girl 991 01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:50.199 therapists are at best paid friends and we all know 992 01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:52.000 the other word for that. 993 01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:52.920 That is very true. 994 01:03:53.679 --> 01:03:56.079 Truck or Chris for the wind has gifted one sub 995 01:03:56.119 --> 01:03:59.480 on Kick. Thank you, Truck or Chris, appreciate the support, 996 01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:04.599 really do. I'm going to have to start a new 997 01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:06.760 segment of this show called I Have No Shame and 998 01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:09.719 I must grift to pay for these medical bills.

The prayers are what have been the most. 1026 01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:38.039 It has been incredible to see the number of people 1027 01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:42.079 that just have sent messages or replied to things and 1028 01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:43.920 told us they were praying for our dad. It has 1029 01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:48.280 been an incredibly beautiful thing to see and it has 1030 01:05:48.400 --> 01:05:51.440 given us so much peace and comfort knowing that he 1031 01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:55.360 is being lifted up before God by all of you, 1032 01:05:55.719 --> 01:05:58.119 and I cannot thank you enough for that. It is 1033 01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:02.360 really helped this time to know that you're all out 1034 01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:03.639 there praying for him. 1035 01:06:04.519 --> 01:06:05.199 M Sellers. 1036 01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:08.119 Sometimes godly therapy or counseling can help get you back 1037 01:06:08.159 --> 01:06:10.840 on track, but you never substitute for your personal relationship 1038 01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:14.719 with Jesus Christ. Yes, and again I think the main 1039 01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:17.960 point there is that it is, you know, Christian counseling 1040 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:21.039 or therapy there, coming at it from a perspective of, 1041 01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:24.880 you know, the from a godly perspective, from a Christ's 1042 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:29.199 centered perspective. It is not this atheistic self worship. 1043 01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:32.199 It is a It is to. 1044 01:06:32.159 --> 01:06:34.639 Point you back towards you know what you should be 1045 01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:40.800 focused on, and to write your mind in that sense. Yes, 1046 01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:43.679 but I agree with you m Sellers. Love the commercials 1047 01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:47.039 almost as good as the show. Yes, the breaks that 1048 01:06:47.079 --> 01:06:50.639 my dad has done are truly amazing. The music is 1049 01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:54.159 I've always loved getting to sit there and enjoy it 1050 01:06:54.239 --> 01:06:56.559 during the show. Not that I don't appreciate with the 1051 01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:59.559 information my dad provides, but getting a nice little break 1052 01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:04.000 and getting to hear some beautiful music has always been fantastic, 1053 01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:07.880 and I'm glad you all appreciate them. I look forward 1054 01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:09.800 to him coming back and being able to work on 1055 01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.599 his music again and to hopefully bring you more soon. 1056 01:07:14.519 --> 01:07:17.599 But knowing him, it will be a while simply because 1057 01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:18.840 he is such a perfectionist. 1058 01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:20.480 He will play the. 1059 01:07:22.119 --> 01:07:23.079 He'll play a. 1060 01:07:23.119 --> 01:07:26.079 Segment over and over again until he gets it just 1061 01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:30.239 the way he wants it. He as much work as 1062 01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:32.039 he puts in on the show. I think he is 1063 01:07:32.119 --> 01:07:35.639 even more of a perfectionist about the music, and he 1064 01:07:35.719 --> 01:07:39.559 will do it thousands of times until it sounds just 1065 01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:45.199 right to him. And yes it is. They're really, really 1066 01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:49.320 wonderful and I enjoy them all just as much as 1067 01:07:49.360 --> 01:07:53.920 you do. Now, I want to just mention this. This 1068 01:07:53.960 --> 01:07:57.800 is a book that I just got. It is Aberrations 1069 01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:01.159 in the Heartland of the Real Secret Lives of Timothy 1070 01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:04.239 McVeigh by Wendy S. Painting, PhD. And some of you 1071 01:08:04.280 --> 01:08:09.119 may already know about her, but she was the co 1072 01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:12.039 author and co producer of the documentary film A Noble Lie. 1073 01:08:12.440 --> 01:08:14.719 I've just started reading this, so I won't actually go 1074 01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:17.359 into it today. I'm only about ten pages in, but 1075 01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:21.399 I will probably be giving you some exerts and snippets 1076 01:08:21.439 --> 01:08:24.960 from it in the future. But it is an incredibly 1077 01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:28.600 detailed and thoroughly researched book about Timothy McVay and goes 1078 01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:33.199 into immense, immense detail about his life. I have thoroughly 1079 01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:37.159 enjoyed the few pages that I've gotten to read so far, 1080 01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:44.680 and it is just about the man who the behind 1081 01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:48.680 the avatar that was created for the Oklahoma City bombing, 1082 01:08:49.159 --> 01:08:57.600 and the media created this idea of Timothy McVey. Very 1083 01:08:57.640 --> 01:09:01.520 few people, if any, actually knew anything about him besides 1084 01:09:01.640 --> 01:09:05.239 what was portrayed in the media. And as we know today, 1085 01:09:05.680 --> 01:09:09.000 the media does very little research, if any, and has 1086 01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:12.359 their talking points handed down to them. So the Oklahoma 1087 01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:16.479 City bombing was an amazing example of how a narrative 1088 01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:19.399 can be created, and different narratives can be spun up 1089 01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:23.560 and spun out into the atmosphere to muddy the water 1090 01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:26.840 and make it impossible to figure out what really happened. 1091 01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:29.760 So I'm very excited to read this book. It is 1092 01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:33.479 very very well researched. It is a thick tome, and 1093 01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:35.680 I look forward to being able to give you some 1094 01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:44.960 interesting excerpts from it in the future. And I saw 1095 01:09:45.159 --> 01:09:53.079 this last night Trump administration. Trump administration. Administration's universal flu 1096 01:09:53.159 --> 01:09:57.279 vaccine project puzzles scientists, and I have to say it 1097 01:09:57.319 --> 01:10:01.479 puzzles me as well. I thought this administration was going 1098 01:10:01.560 --> 01:10:05.880 to have RFK in charge, and I thought RFK was 1099 01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:10.079 going to tell people the dangers of vaccines and to 1100 01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:14.159 expose them. But as we've seen so far, none of 1101 01:10:14.159 --> 01:10:16.800 that has come true, and we are now moving towards 1102 01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:21.960 a universal flu vaccine.

Now, 1103 01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:27.159 I'm sure we won't agree with rob Stein's reasoning for this, 1104 01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:30.640 but it was just really the headline that grabbed me 1105 01:10:30.680 --> 01:10:33.000 out of this article in the sense of this is 1106 01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:39.000 the administration that claimed, you know, he was the father 1107 01:10:39.039 --> 01:10:42.039 of the vaccine. He gave us the covid vaccine warp speed. 1108 01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:47.079 He was so proud of his little pet project, and 1109 01:10:47.119 --> 01:10:53.119 we can see that he has learned absolutely nothing. These people, 1110 01:10:53.399 --> 01:10:57.800 Donald Trump is not your friend. He is in the 1111 01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:01.159 pocket of these corporations and these powers as much as 1112 01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:05.119 any other president ever has been. He gave them the lockdown. 1113 01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:09.119 He gave them carte blanc to do whatever they wanted 1114 01:11:09.199 --> 01:11:14.640 with the vaccination, the COVID vaccine. We still don't know 1115 01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:18.399 all the untold damages that have been wrought by that thing. 1116 01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:23.039 Is it has not been on a long enough timeline 1117 01:11:23.079 --> 01:11:27.000 to fully see what kind of effects that will have, 1118 01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:30.479 you know, what it's doing to people, And we are 1119 01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:35.279 now working towards a universal flu vaccine. Vaccine experts are 1120 01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:37.960 perplexed by a project the Trump administration has launched to 1121 01:11:37.960 --> 01:11:40.800 develop a universal flu vaccine, which has been a long goal, 1122 01:11:40.960 --> 01:11:45.920 though an elusive one in medical research. Dubbed Generation gold Standard, 1123 01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:48.479 the project is aimed at creating a flu shot that 1124 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:50.239 doesn't have to be updated every year to match the 1125 01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:53.640 latest strains of the virus. Project also aims to produce 1126 01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:56.760 a vaccine that could protect people against other respiratory viruses 1127 01:11:56.800 --> 01:12:00.000 that could cause a pandemic, such as bird flu and coronaviruses. 1128 01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:02.079 That's right, folks, it's the scary, scary bird flu. 1129 01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:05.800 Oh good, we needed a new covid vaccine. That was 1130 01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:09.680 the big thing that has been killing so many people 1131 01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:12.680 is just the lack of yet another covid vaccine. 1132 01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:13.760 That's right. 1133 01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:16.600 You can never have too many vaccines, folks. Just you know, 1134 01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:19.439 roll up your sleeve and they're just going to come 1135 01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:22.680 in with sequence after sequence of I for one, hope 1136 01:12:22.680 --> 01:12:24.720 that they just keep churning these out so I never 1137 01:12:24.760 --> 01:12:27.000 have to get out of the chair, so that I 1138 01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:30.840 can just sit there and get vaccinated over and over again, 1139 01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:35.560 repeatedly until I die. That's my biggest hope is that 1140 01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:38.359 they can make me safe from every disease, every variation 1141 01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:41.800 of every disease, and you know, by doing so, make 1142 01:12:41.880 --> 01:12:47.000 themselves infinitely wealthy. The announcement surprise vaccine researchers, given the 1143 01:12:47.039 --> 01:12:49.560 anti vaccine stance of health officials like Health and Human 1144 01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:51.680 Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior. 1145 01:12:52.840 --> 01:12:53.279 That's right. 1146 01:12:54.399 --> 01:12:59.880 Even NPR can see the, if not hypocrisy, dissonance between 1147 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:03.279 the narrative and what is actually coming to place. They 1148 01:13:03.560 --> 01:13:08.000 ran on a stance of anti vaccination, or at least 1149 01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:11.560 vaccine skepticism, and yet here we are in the administration 1150 01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:16.039 working towards a universal flu vaccine. I'm glad to see 1151 01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:18.680 that this administration is still wanting to invest in developing 1152 01:13:18.680 --> 01:13:22.000 next generation influenza vaccines or respiptory vaccines in general, says 1153 01:13:22.079 --> 01:13:25.000 Ted Ross, director of Global Vaccine Development at the Cleveland Clinic. 1154 01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:28.720 But Ross and the other outside vaccine experts are mystified 1155 01:13:28.760 --> 01:13:31.800 by many aspects of Generation gold Standard. Well, Ross, you're 1156 01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:35.000 not the only one that's mystified. I'm very mystified, more 1157 01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:40.359 so by the fact that the Trump base still supports him, 1158 01:13:40.680 --> 01:13:43.800 the fact that they refuse to look at this and say, Okay, 1159 01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:46.199 maybe he's not the man we think he is. But 1160 01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:50.159 of course they have yet to come to any sort 1161 01:13:50.199 --> 01:13:53.119 of realization regarding that fact. First of all, the project 1162 01:13:53.159 --> 01:13:55.399 plans to use an approach that would involve injecting people 1163 01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:57.439 with a whole flu virus that has been killed with 1164 01:13:57.479 --> 01:13:59.520 a chemical to render it harmless, but is still capable 1165 01:13:59.560 --> 01:14:03.479 of stimulate the immune system. Vaccine experts consider the whole 1166 01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:07.520 killed virus approach to be antiquated. This a head scrat 1167 01:14:08.239 --> 01:14:10.399 This a head scratcher to me, This is puzzling, says 1168 01:14:10.439 --> 01:14:13.239 doctor Gregory Poland, a vaccine expert who leads the atrea 1169 01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:15.680 Academy of Science and Medicine in New York. We're going 1170 01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:18.119 back to technology that would use forty to fifty years ago. 1171 01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:20.199 So this is a little surprising to me. Why would 1172 01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:22.760 you go backwards to this technology. It's a very old technology, 1173 01:14:22.800 --> 01:14:26.439 Poland says, this is what influenza vaccines in the forties, fifties, 1174 01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:31.119 and sixties looked like. Well, I mean that was probably 1175 01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:38.520 the last time. I don't even know if Again, his 1176 01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:42.239 complaint is that the technology isn't new enough. My complaint 1177 01:14:42.239 --> 01:14:45.039 is that it's happening at all. So look at nineteen eighty. 1178 01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:47.279 It's a universal extermination vaccine. 1179 01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:48.359 That's right. 1180 01:14:48.399 --> 01:14:50.760 All of these vaccines are meant to harm you in 1181 01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:55.479 some way. All of them are there to destroy your body. 1182 01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:58.920 None of them are there to actually do what they say. 1183 01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:02.000 A bit of a side tangent here, but one of 1184 01:15:02.079 --> 01:15:04.439 the things that always gets me is when you talk 1185 01:15:04.439 --> 01:15:08.159 about medical conspiracy, people act as if like, oh, you 1186 01:15:08.199 --> 01:15:10.960 think they're paying off every single doctor. You think that 1187 01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:15.199 black suv rolls up and they cart out barrels of 1188 01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:17.640 money to the nurses in the hospitals and the doctors. 1189 01:15:17.640 --> 01:15:20.640 And it's like, no, you don't need to pay off 1190 01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:22.640 every single doctor. In fact, you need to pay off 1191 01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:26.600 relatively few people if in fact you're actually paying off 1192 01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:29.880 any of them. What you do is you make sure 1193 01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:34.800 that grants only go towards things that you deem useful 1194 01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:39.520 for your agenda. You quash research that is moving in 1195 01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:43.159 ways that you don't like. You insert specific people with 1196 01:15:43.199 --> 01:15:48.359 a certain ideology in the halls of academia, and it 1197 01:15:48.439 --> 01:15:52.199 takes a very, very relative few people to ensure that 1198 01:15:52.279 --> 01:15:54.760 science only moves in the direction you want. It is 1199 01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:57.239 not difficult to control this sort of things. It does 1200 01:15:57.279 --> 01:16:00.680 not require millions upon millions of people working in concert. 1201 01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:05.319 It requires a minimal amount to control this sort of thing. 1202 01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:09.680 People think that the bribing of doctors, is you know, 1203 01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:13.680 some pharma executive slipping some guy in a white coat 1204 01:16:13.680 --> 01:16:15.840 a few hundred bucks in the back room. But really 1205 01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:21.800 it's more institutionalized. It's the not getting published. If you 1206 01:16:22.319 --> 01:16:26.479 question their official narrative. It's all the like you said, 1207 01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:30.760 the grants and all that that are driving it, only 1208 01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:33.840 in the way that is most profitable for big pharma. 1209 01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:35.439 Exactly. 1210 01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:35.800 Yeah. 1211 01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:37.840 All they have to do is control the funding in 1212 01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:41.039 a specific direction, and it makes it incredibly difficult to 1213 01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:44.439 research any of these things. Brian de McCartney, we are 1214 01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:47.760 not vaccine deficient. No, again, what is it By the 1215 01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:51.199 time a child is three, I believe it's seventy six vaccines. 1216 01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:54.520 They want to give your child seventy six seventy six 1217 01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:58.640 different vaccines full of all kinds of chemicals that are 1218 01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:05.000 potentially damaging or life ending. These people know what they're doing. 1219 01:17:05.600 --> 01:17:08.760 My dad has told the story before, but I forget 1220 01:17:08.800 --> 01:17:10.760 the name of the nurse, but she was in the 1221 01:17:11.520 --> 01:17:16.479 uh you know, the natal ICU, and they knew that 1222 01:17:16.520 --> 01:17:18.560 when they had a premi that was born, that if 1223 01:17:18.600 --> 01:17:22.000 they gave them vaccines that they would crash. That they're 1224 01:17:22.079 --> 01:17:23.520 you know, they would flat line, and they would need 1225 01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:26.920 to be resuscitated, and it would take you know, uh, 1226 01:17:27.199 --> 01:17:29.560 you know, they would have to prep the crash cart. 1227 01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:32.159 There wasn't a discussion of well, maybe we don't give 1228 01:17:32.159 --> 01:17:33.760 them the vaccines. It was, oh, well, you know, we'll 1229 01:17:33.760 --> 01:17:36.439 resuscitate them, we'll bring them back if we can. It 1230 01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:39.359 was never a matter of well we just won't give 1231 01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:42.720 them the vaccines. You would think at minimum these people 1232 01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:46.359 could be convinced to hold off, but no, even knowing 1233 01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:48.720 what it was doing to a baby, that it would 1234 01:17:48.760 --> 01:17:53.239 cause them to you know, crash and flat line and 1235 01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:55.760 have to be resuscitated, they would still do it. These 1236 01:17:55.800 --> 01:17:59.399 people have been so thoroughly brainwashed and have such a 1237 01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:03.279 callous to regard for life and the most vulnerable lives. 1238 01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:06.520 It is utterly disgusting to see. 1239 01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:09.399 Sure, seventy six vaccines is a lot, but you know, 1240 01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:12.079 seventy seven is just such a nice round number. It's 1241 01:18:12.199 --> 01:18:16.359 lucky sounding. And I'm sure we can trust Trump who 1242 01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:20.199 brought us the COVID warp speed vaccine, to be sure 1243 01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:22.319 that this one is going to be the good and 1244 01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:23.479 healthy vaccine. 1245 01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:26.680 Of course, this one is going to be sugar water. 1246 01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:29.720 It'll be just so pleasant. They'll come in. You'll be 1247 01:18:29.800 --> 01:18:33.079 served a nice little mohito while you wait. It'll be 1248 01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:37.439 a lovely, lovely experience as you get your universal flu vaccine. 1249 01:18:38.359 --> 01:18:41.319 Right, give us any free donuts or burgers with this one? 1250 01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:42.640 Yeah? 1251 01:18:42.640 --> 01:18:45.039 I wonder what sort of bribery will be involved, A 1252 01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:47.640 pricey bet on a single approach. And then there's the 1253 01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:50.399 price tag five hundred million. I mean that to me, 1254 01:18:50.800 --> 01:18:53.479 based on the spending that our government, that sounds like 1255 01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:56.960 a bargain. Only five hundred million, half a billion dollars. 1256 01:18:57.000 --> 01:18:59.000 I mean, we can spend that in our sleep. Folks, 1257 01:18:59.399 --> 01:19:03.560 you're bulking at half a billion dollars? When is this 1258 01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:07.199 the America I've come to know and dread. Come on, folks, 1259 01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:12.119 half a billion. That's nothing. That's nothing. We give that 1260 01:19:12.119 --> 01:19:12.760 to Israel? 1261 01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:13.199 You know. 1262 01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:17.319 Uh, if I say we give it, we could do 1263 01:19:17.399 --> 01:19:19.560 We could do that again right now. We wouldn't even notice. 1264 01:19:20.079 --> 01:19:22.119 There's a price tag five hundred million, which is a 1265 01:19:22.199 --> 01:19:27.680 huge amount, sky knows nothing, huge amount. Come on, get 1266 01:19:27.680 --> 01:19:28.439 it together. 1267 01:19:28.359 --> 01:19:28.840 Half a bit. 1268 01:19:29.119 --> 01:19:31.279 Who are you at a bulk at half a billion dollars? 1269 01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:34.640 Especially at a time when federal health research funding is 1270 01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:37.399 being slashed. The money that was originally earmarked to help 1271 01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:41.359 explore a variety of technology for next generation COVID nineteen vaccines. 1272 01:19:42.359 --> 01:19:45.199 This amount of money is astronomical. It is foolish to 1273 01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:48.600 put that much money onto one technology, says Rick Bright, 1274 01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:52.840 a former federal vaccine expert who is now a private consultant. Well, 1275 01:19:52.920 --> 01:19:55.479 you know that man is making money hand over fist. 1276 01:19:56.399 --> 01:20:01.119 Going into a private consultancy after being a federal employee 1277 01:20:01.239 --> 01:20:03.479 is usually a way of paying you off for what 1278 01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:08.800 you did for the company during your tenure, Zoro seventy. 1279 01:20:08.960 --> 01:20:12.880 To use NA is like trying communism again because last 1280 01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:15.359 time it wasn't done the right way. That's right, folks, 1281 01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:18.720 real mRNA has never been tried yet. We just have 1282 01:20:18.800 --> 01:20:21.439 to try mRNA one more time, and this time we'll 1283 01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:22.039 get it right. 1284 01:20:22.520 --> 01:20:22.720 You know. 1285 01:20:23.439 --> 01:20:27.520 No more damaging hearts, no more blood clots, just good 1286 01:20:27.520 --> 01:20:31.960 old fashioned DNA alteration like your grandma used to get. 1287 01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:36.159 As American as apple pie and eight legged rats in 1288 01:20:36.359 --> 01:20:41.119 the subway of New York. Another aspect that's raising eyebrows 1289 01:20:41.199 --> 01:20:45.520 is the fact that the technology called a beta propio lactone. 1290 01:20:46.800 --> 01:20:50.920 Whoever names these things do they speak English? In a 1291 01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:55.760 debated whole virus platform was developed by two NIH scientists, 1292 01:20:55.840 --> 01:21:02.279 doctor Matthew Mimoli and doctor Jeffrey Tobin. Memoli was recently 1293 01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:05.319 named as the Principal Deputy Director of the NIH after 1294 01:21:05.359 --> 01:21:09.520 serving as Trump's acting NIH director. Tobenberger was recently named 1295 01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:12.520 acting director of the nationalis Student of Allergy Infectious Diseases. 1296 01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:16.880 Tobenberger holds a patent on the technology. Ah, I wonder 1297 01:21:16.920 --> 01:21:19.119 if that could have something to do with it. You 1298 01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:21.479 hold a patent on the technology that the government is 1299 01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:24.039 going to be using to create a universal flu vaccine. 1300 01:21:24.039 --> 01:21:26.239 Imagine that is worth a lot a lot of money, 1301 01:21:26.920 --> 01:21:31.199 perhaps even half a billion dollars. Well, again, the main 1302 01:21:31.239 --> 01:21:36.399 point is just that Trump has learned nothing, and that 1303 01:21:36.520 --> 01:21:38.720 is not a surprise to me. That is, in fact, 1304 01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:41.520 exactly what I would have expected, given that he gave 1305 01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:43.920 us the warp speed vaccine. But he is now pushing 1306 01:21:43.920 --> 01:21:48.960 for a universal flu vaccine, a vaccine that undoubtedly they 1307 01:21:49.000 --> 01:21:53.119 will push on everyone for every reason, and only later 1308 01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:55.960 will we find out the sheer number of people that 1309 01:21:56.000 --> 01:21:58.600 are being damaged by the sheer number of people that 1310 01:21:58.640 --> 01:22:01.439 are being killed by it. They do this over and 1311 01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:08.039 over where they create a horror and double down on it. 1312 01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:16.840 Instead of admit fault. Zen woman right, the top administration. 1313 01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:20.000 Top administrators were paid and the staff who didn't comply 1314 01:22:20.159 --> 01:22:21.119 were disposable. 1315 01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:22.279 That is correct. 1316 01:22:23.520 --> 01:22:26.640 They get rid of the people that do not play 1317 01:22:26.680 --> 01:22:28.960 ball with them, and it is incredibly easy for them 1318 01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:31.960 to do so. So I then goy power is top down, 1319 01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:34.880 like a pyramid. You don't need a grand conspiracy including everyone. 1320 01:22:34.920 --> 01:22:37.479 The top gives the order and the rest follow. That's right. 1321 01:22:37.560 --> 01:22:42.359 If you inculcate ethos of just taking directive and of 1322 01:22:43.920 --> 01:22:47.800 continual just worship and bowing down to authority, you never 1323 01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:50.800 have to bribe anyone. They simply will not question it 1324 01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:53.159 at all. Oudy mmr audy. 1325 01:22:53.199 --> 01:22:53.680 Good to see you. 1326 01:22:53.680 --> 01:22:56.239 I hope you're doing well. Some areas, it's ninety vaccines 1327 01:22:56.279 --> 01:22:58.720 for children. Absolutely outrageous that parents are allowing this. 1328 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:00.000 It is. 1329 01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:03.399 It is mind boggling. You'd think at some point they 1330 01:23:03.439 --> 01:23:05.680 would look at even just the sheer number of it 1331 01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:10.800 and go, this seems like a lot, you know, just 1332 01:23:10.880 --> 01:23:14.359 thinking about it. Logically, the previous generation didn't receive nearly 1333 01:23:14.439 --> 01:23:17.279 this number of vaccines, and they seemed to be healthier, 1334 01:23:18.000 --> 01:23:21.680 you know, just on that level, it doesn't make sense. 1335 01:23:22.039 --> 01:23:26.880 Doesn't make sense. Logically, it is truly insane to me 1336 01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:32.520 that people are so incredibly willing to just follow orders 1337 01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:36.880 and stick their children with these horrific chemicals, with these 1338 01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:42.039 horrific side effects. I mean, when I was young, we 1339 01:23:42.079 --> 01:23:45.159 went to church with I believe over all the years 1340 01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:48.079 we went to church, there were two kids that had autism. 1341 01:23:48.960 --> 01:23:54.039 And now, you know, I see so many. I don't 1342 01:23:54.039 --> 01:23:57.239 go out frequently anymore, but when I do, it's you know, 1343 01:23:57.359 --> 01:24:00.000 not uncommon to see, you know, one of those kids, 1344 01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:03.119 child that is clearly damaged out in public. You know, 1345 01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:06.039 they've got their you know, big headphones on to prevent 1346 01:24:06.079 --> 01:24:10.319 some sort of auditory stimulus from you know, affecting them, 1347 01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:13.640 and they're locked into an iPad or something, or they're 1348 01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:16.680 being led by the hand and by their parents. And 1349 01:24:17.920 --> 01:24:21.359 you know, these are kids that are obviously, you know, 1350 01:24:21.520 --> 01:24:26.159 close to being teenagers or are teenagers, and that just 1351 01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:30.720 wasn't something you saw when I was young, and just 1352 01:24:30.800 --> 01:24:33.439 on the face of it, it is obvious what is happening, 1353 01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:37.039 and they continually obfus, skate and say, oh, it's the 1354 01:24:37.600 --> 01:24:41.319 rapid rise in case numbers is because we're better at diagnoses, 1355 01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:46.159 and you know, diagnosis might account for a small increase, 1356 01:24:47.279 --> 01:24:49.920 maybe you get a little bit better at figuring out, 1357 01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:52.600 you know, what it actually is, and so you're able 1358 01:24:52.600 --> 01:24:54.760 to find it a little bit more frequently. But it 1359 01:24:54.800 --> 01:24:58.520 does not account for the you know, straight up spike 1360 01:24:58.760 --> 01:25:03.000 in case numbers that just it obviously doesn't make sense, 1361 01:25:03.359 --> 01:25:05.279 and the fact that they're able to get away with 1362 01:25:05.319 --> 01:25:09.239 it by just hand waving it shows how utterly unthinking 1363 01:25:09.439 --> 01:25:13.319 and uncritical the American people have become over time, and 1364 01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:18.079 it's worrying. It's concerning trump Berger. Vaccines are the biggest 1365 01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:21.359 money maker at medical offices, like making people come for 1366 01:25:21.439 --> 01:25:23.920 an oil change. That's true. 1367 01:25:24.119 --> 01:25:25.199 The we were. 1368 01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:34.479 We were very lucky to find a excellent doctor in Austin, Texas. 1369 01:25:35.119 --> 01:25:39.119 They still will ask you if you'd like to vaccinate, 1370 01:25:39.159 --> 01:25:41.239 but they don't push it. We have said no, and 1371 01:25:41.319 --> 01:25:44.840 they have gone hands off, like, all right, parents don't 1372 01:25:44.840 --> 01:25:47.520 want it, we won't ask you about it again, and 1373 01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:51.479 we're very thankful for that. But in the pamphlet she 1374 01:25:51.520 --> 01:25:54.079 hands out, so you have to pay to be a 1375 01:25:54.119 --> 01:25:58.000 member of her practice so that you can see her. 1376 01:25:58.399 --> 01:26:01.920 And the reason she explains is that I'm sure many 1377 01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:03.920 of you know this, but in case you don't, vaccine 1378 01:26:03.960 --> 01:26:09.600 companies and insurance companies pay bonuses to doctors' offices that 1379 01:26:09.640 --> 01:26:15.560 have a certain over a certain percentage of their customers vaccinated. 1380 01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:18.319 And so to offset the fact that a lot of 1381 01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:22.479 her customers she doesn't meet the requirement, don't vaccinate their children, 1382 01:26:22.680 --> 01:26:27.079 she has you pay a fee to be a member 1383 01:26:27.119 --> 01:26:30.479 of her practice. And so that is the sort of 1384 01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:33.239 thing you have to do, because she was talking to 1385 01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:35.079 us and said that, you know, she's seen so many 1386 01:26:35.159 --> 01:26:38.720 of her other colleagues just you know, either you know, 1387 01:26:38.800 --> 01:26:42.279 fold and require vaccination or just be put out of 1388 01:26:42.279 --> 01:26:47.760 business by these people because they cannot maintain a living wage. 1389 01:26:48.600 --> 01:26:52.159 And so that is what they are doing. They're rapidly 1390 01:26:52.279 --> 01:26:57.000 crushing doctors that refuse to play ball with them. Nights 1391 01:26:57.000 --> 01:26:59.279 of the storm. Parents are not aware of the number 1392 01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:01.600 of shots their kids you're getting, because they frequently bundle 1393 01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:04.880 several into one shot. That is a fair point to make. Yes, 1394 01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:09.000 they will routinely combine many of these vaccines into one 1395 01:27:09.079 --> 01:27:12.800 and so your child gets hammered with a massive dose 1396 01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:18.199 of different chemicals and viruses or whatever. You know, whether 1397 01:27:18.199 --> 01:27:20.800 you believe in viruses or not, that's what they claim 1398 01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:22.600 they are putting in them, and your child is getting 1399 01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:26.199 hit with a bunch of them all at once. Chambers, Nancy. 1400 01:27:26.439 --> 01:27:28.680 My book club ninety five percent young teachers, and they 1401 01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:31.720 love vaccines and are critical of anyone who won't vax 1402 01:27:31.840 --> 01:27:34.039 kids and blame any illness on the anti vax and 1403 01:27:34.079 --> 01:27:38.720 accuse them of spreading disease. Yeah, that's that's always how 1404 01:27:38.720 --> 01:27:41.439 it is. And it's continually again just funny in the 1405 01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:44.640 fact that if the vaccine works, then they're only a 1406 01:27:44.680 --> 01:27:49.319 threat to themselves. However, they are continually scared that, oh, 1407 01:27:49.640 --> 01:27:51.399 I'm going to get it or they're going to give 1408 01:27:51.399 --> 01:27:54.600 it to another kid, And just if the other kid 1409 01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:58.399 is vaccinated, then surely they're protected, right, surely they are 1410 01:27:58.439 --> 01:28:01.520 just exercising their own personal freedoms, and you are just 1411 01:28:01.600 --> 01:28:06.279 angry about that. But it's always cloaked in this, Oh, 1412 01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:08.640 but you know they're going to hurt someone else. They're 1413 01:28:08.680 --> 01:28:10.479 going to do this, They're going to do that. It's 1414 01:28:10.520 --> 01:28:13.960 for the greater good. The greater good is almost it 1415 01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:18.279 is literally always what is used to justify the greatest horrors, 1416 01:28:18.840 --> 01:28:22.000 and so we see that time and time again, this 1417 01:28:22.479 --> 01:28:26.720 hatred and contempt for people that exercise their ability to 1418 01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:31.359 use critical thinking and not just bow to the fear. 1419 01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:37.520 And this article again from MPR, and I just found 1420 01:28:37.560 --> 01:28:39.840 it slightly funny. This won't be one recover for long, 1421 01:28:40.399 --> 01:28:43.560 but it was just entertaining to me. The Oscar of 1422 01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:46.319 Food prizes goes to a Brazilian who harnessed the power 1423 01:28:46.359 --> 01:28:53.000 of bacteria. Good, good, good, whatever, Marianne Gella Hungria. That's 1424 01:28:53.039 --> 01:28:56.840 literally it. That's just the scientist's name is Hungria and 1425 01:28:56.960 --> 01:28:59.600 she's involved with food. That was it. That's the entire joke. 1426 01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:02.199 I found it entertaining. You know, sometimes life is a 1427 01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:04.439 little bit funny like that. You get an a, you 1428 01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:09.560 get named Hungria, and you go into food. That's you know, 1429 01:29:10.039 --> 01:29:12.439 a little bit of comedy. That's the sort of thing 1430 01:29:12.479 --> 01:29:15.159 I find funny, Folks. My sense of humor has been utterly, 1431 01:29:15.600 --> 01:29:21.000 utterly ruined by time on the internet. But this I 1432 01:29:21.119 --> 01:29:26.439 found to be a hopeful story. This is from Clash Daily. 1433 01:29:28.279 --> 01:29:33.479 Sorry Dawkins, young men are tiring of your christless secularism. 1434 01:29:34.239 --> 01:29:36.720 The vaunted four horsemen of New Atheism are not what 1435 01:29:36.800 --> 01:29:40.600 they used to be. Remember how the March of atheism 1436 01:29:40.680 --> 01:29:43.439 was treated as inevitable by the New atheists of a 1437 01:29:43.479 --> 01:29:47.119 decade ago. Post COVID new atheism is in disarray, while 1438 01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:49.720 the church is on the march. The really wild part 1439 01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:51.960 that would sit their head spinning. Gen Z has been 1440 01:29:52.039 --> 01:29:55.279 leading the charge for years. Pew Research has been tracking 1441 01:29:55.319 --> 01:29:57.920 trends on the religious habits and convictions of people across 1442 01:29:57.920 --> 01:30:00.760 a variety of demographics for years. They have tracking a 1443 01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:06.760 year over year decline. Yes, it's something I've noticed personally, 1444 01:30:06.880 --> 01:30:10.600 is that there are fewer and fewer young people in 1445 01:30:10.640 --> 01:30:13.319 the churches that I've gone to over the years. The 1446 01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:16.760 church has become the domain of the middle aged and 1447 01:30:16.800 --> 01:30:19.359 the elderly as time has gone on. And I'm glad 1448 01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:23.239 to see and I'm hopeful that this is true. And 1449 01:30:23.319 --> 01:30:26.439 if it is, that is a good sign that the 1450 01:30:26.520 --> 01:30:32.239 next generation is realizing that this empty, angry atheism will 1451 01:30:32.279 --> 01:30:35.239 only leave you bitter, It will not provide you with anything, 1452 01:30:35.680 --> 01:30:37.479 and in the end, it will lead you straight to hell. 1453 01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:41.439 And I think part of that is they're able to 1454 01:30:41.520 --> 01:30:44.560 see the fruits that is borne in our culture. The 1455 01:30:44.600 --> 01:30:51.199 ascendancy of atheism has coincided with the decline of every 1456 01:30:51.399 --> 01:30:56.600 nation across the globe. The church is was part of 1457 01:30:56.640 --> 01:31:00.800 what built all these nations. The strong faith of the 1458 01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:09.800 people that were involved with the rising of the West. 1459 01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:13.680 And I don't just mean people, you know, the founding fathers. 1460 01:31:13.720 --> 01:31:15.319 I know I'm going to have people saying me, oh, 1461 01:31:15.359 --> 01:31:17.560 they weren't Christian, they were this, they were that. I 1462 01:31:17.640 --> 01:31:21.439 mean the common people, the faith of the common people 1463 01:31:21.560 --> 01:31:26.199 that were on the ground just working. When a nation, 1464 01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:29.800 when the people of a nation are devoted to God, he, 1465 01:31:31.000 --> 01:31:33.640 you know, will bless that nation. It is not about 1466 01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:37.039 whether your leader is a Christian or whether your leader. 1467 01:31:36.880 --> 01:31:37.640 Is this or that. 1468 01:31:37.840 --> 01:31:40.079 It can be a blessing to have a Christian leader, 1469 01:31:40.399 --> 01:31:43.239 but what's more important is that the people themselves are 1470 01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:49.800 devoted to God. And as the people have become more 1471 01:31:50.000 --> 01:31:54.399 atheistic and self serving or you know, anything else, we 1472 01:31:54.520 --> 01:31:58.960 have seen the rapid, rapid decline of these Western nations 1473 01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:05.079 and just the horrors it is unleashed on the the 1474 01:32:05.159 --> 01:32:11.239 people of the American people. Stunning stat gen Zers, especially 1475 01:32:11.279 --> 01:32:13.520 gen Z Men, are actually more likely to attend weekly 1476 01:32:13.640 --> 01:32:16.560 religious services than millennials and even some younger gen xers 1477 01:32:16.880 --> 01:32:20.920 Berg's analysis shows that's good news. I am again, I'm 1478 01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:23.640 very hopeful for this. This is a very good sign. 1479 01:32:24.039 --> 01:32:27.520 Not and again, this isn't something about oh, I think 1480 01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:29.399 this would be good for politics. This is good for 1481 01:32:29.720 --> 01:32:32.640 the you know, people who are going to church, who 1482 01:32:32.680 --> 01:32:36.520 are finding Jesus. Whether this impacts politics at all, this 1483 01:32:36.640 --> 01:32:39.239 is impacting something much more important. This is the souls 1484 01:32:39.359 --> 01:32:43.000 of the people involved. They are finding Christ and that 1485 01:32:43.119 --> 01:32:46.520 is what truly matters. Politics passes away. All of this 1486 01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:51.399 is truly you know, it impacts our daily lives, but 1487 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:53.960 it will be meaningless in the end. You know, we 1488 01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:57.479 should fight evil because we are called to, but we 1489 01:32:57.479 --> 01:33:02.319 should realize that there is a much greater world outside 1490 01:33:02.359 --> 01:33:05.079 of this that we will all one day be a 1491 01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:08.680 part of. Between the lines, young men are leading America's 1492 01:33:09.000 --> 01:33:13.600 religion resurgence. Within older generations, there's a consistent gender gap 1493 01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:16.279 among Christians, with women more likely to be religious than men. 1494 01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:18.359 But gen Z the gap is closed as young men 1495 01:33:18.479 --> 01:33:20.439 join the church and young women leave it. If the 1496 01:33:20.479 --> 01:33:23.439 current trajectory sticks, the gender gap will flip. 1497 01:33:27.920 --> 01:33:28.359 Zoom in. 1498 01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:31.359 Many young people have turned to religion defined community and 1499 01:33:31.359 --> 01:33:34.279 connection after the isolating years of the pandemic, which hit 1500 01:33:34.319 --> 01:33:38.359 gen Z harder than most. Yes, I've heard many, many 1501 01:33:38.439 --> 01:33:43.600 stories of how utterly isolating and alone the pandemic was 1502 01:33:43.600 --> 01:33:47.319 for the younger generation, How they had their childhood effectively 1503 01:33:47.359 --> 01:33:50.039 stolen from them. How they got to watch you know, 1504 01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:52.760 maybe an older family member, whether an older brother or 1505 01:33:52.840 --> 01:33:57.479 sister or cousin, you know, get to enjoy socialization. And 1506 01:33:58.119 --> 01:34:00.560 you know, I don't like public school. Well I will 1507 01:34:00.600 --> 01:34:04.000 not put our children in public school. But you know, 1508 01:34:04.039 --> 01:34:06.479 they got to see them have that social aspect of 1509 01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:08.279 it and to hang out with friends and to go 1510 01:34:08.560 --> 01:34:11.239 you know, play sports or whatever it was. And then 1511 01:34:11.439 --> 01:34:14.279 it was taken from them right as they hit high school, 1512 01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:17.600 or you know, right before then or mid high school. 1513 01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:21.760 And how isolating and lonely and bitter it has made them, 1514 01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:25.960 How it has made them incapable of relating to other people, 1515 01:34:26.119 --> 01:34:30.560 How it has hurt them psychologically in such deep and 1516 01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:35.199 profound ways. You know, it is a giant psychological experiment 1517 01:34:35.239 --> 01:34:39.439 that has been perpetrated, and it is radically, radically impacted 1518 01:34:39.479 --> 01:34:42.119 the younger generations who didn't have a chance to form 1519 01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:45.760 friend groups or have a chance to you know, get 1520 01:34:45.760 --> 01:34:49.720 to know people before then. You know, that totally took 1521 01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:52.680 that from them. At a time when so many Christians 1522 01:34:52.680 --> 01:34:55.000 have been echoing the duck and covered fetism of the 1523 01:34:55.079 --> 01:34:58.199 late Great planet Earth. The group is rising up with 1524 01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:00.760 a very different attitude. And it's EXAs exactly the kind 1525 01:35:00.760 --> 01:35:03.079 of attitude shift that you might expect to see the 1526 01:35:03.159 --> 01:35:07.000 leading edge of a time where faith convictions begin awakening. 1527 01:35:08.720 --> 01:35:11.960 Dear young Christian male, this book you're about to read 1528 01:35:12.119 --> 01:35:14.840 is okay, well, this is a plug for a book. 1529 01:35:15.239 --> 01:35:19.479 I don't know anything about it, but uh, you know again, 1530 01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:24.119 this is just incredibly hopeful to me that more people 1531 01:35:24.279 --> 01:35:30.319 are returning to Christ. And as I said before, whether 1532 01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:33.720 it impacts politics or not, this impacts their eternal souls. 1533 01:35:33.840 --> 01:35:38.439 And that is a much much more important thing. It 1534 01:35:38.520 --> 01:35:44.000 is eternally important. It is infinitely more important. That's what 1535 01:35:44.119 --> 01:35:51.520 truly matters. So you know what, you know, who's making 1536 01:35:51.640 --> 01:35:55.880 a comeback? Someone that I would have never expected, someone 1537 01:35:55.920 --> 01:36:01.920 that I have come to loathe. Pete Buddha. Judge holds 1538 01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:07.840 town hall in Iowa amid speculation of presidential ambitions. And 1539 01:36:08.119 --> 01:36:12.760 look at our little PD here. He's grown himself a beard. 1540 01:36:12.800 --> 01:36:16.279 He's ted cruz maxing. He's realized that he's got a 1541 01:36:16.279 --> 01:36:19.239 little bit of a rat face and as such can't 1542 01:36:19.239 --> 01:36:23.560 be taken seriously. He looks much more like a real 1543 01:36:23.640 --> 01:36:26.840 boy with a beard grown. Don't you think, folks, I 1544 01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:31.279 think this the beard, more than the town halls, is 1545 01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:34.840 an indication of presidential desire. The town halls, you know, 1546 01:36:34.920 --> 01:36:37.760 every politician does that sort of thing from time to time. 1547 01:36:38.439 --> 01:36:41.720 The beard is what is the tell? He took a 1548 01:36:41.800 --> 01:36:44.359 page from Ted Cruz's book and was like, well, you know, 1549 01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:47.039 Ted Cruz looks better with a beard, and Ted Cruz 1550 01:36:47.119 --> 01:36:50.640 is you know, he's a very oily, slimy looking individual. 1551 01:36:50.640 --> 01:36:52.399 If it can help Ted Cruz, it can surely work 1552 01:36:52.479 --> 01:36:56.199 for me. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buda Judge held a 1553 01:36:56.359 --> 01:36:59.079 town hall in the influential early contest state of Iowa 1554 01:36:59.159 --> 01:37:03.359 on Tuesday, potentially fueling added speculation about another presidential run 1555 01:37:03.479 --> 01:37:08.319 for the prominent Democrat. Now again, I don't think Boota 1556 01:37:08.439 --> 01:37:11.520 Judge can win, but I think that's perhaps based solely 1557 01:37:11.560 --> 01:37:15.119 on optimism. I don't have any hard facts or statistics 1558 01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:16.840 on that, but I would just like to think that 1559 01:37:16.920 --> 01:37:22.119 someone as conniving and unlikable as Boothae Judge would be 1560 01:37:22.159 --> 01:37:27.079 seen through by the American people. It is, however, my 1561 01:37:27.239 --> 01:37:29.640 judgment is not often right in these things. I often 1562 01:37:29.680 --> 01:37:32.680 put too much faith in the American people because what 1563 01:37:32.800 --> 01:37:35.760 can I say? I'm an optimist, Butta Judge held the 1564 01:37:35.760 --> 01:37:39.520 town hall with Vote Vets, a progressive political action committee 1565 01:37:39.520 --> 01:37:42.119 advocating and issues like national security and veterans' care and 1566 01:37:42.199 --> 01:37:44.960 cedar rapids, marking the first time he's been back to 1567 01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:48.600 Iowa since the end of the Biden administration. The former 1568 01:37:48.640 --> 01:37:51.199 twenty twenty presidential candidate noted that he's not currently a 1569 01:37:51.199 --> 01:37:54.079 public official, nor is he actively running for office, and 1570 01:37:54.159 --> 01:37:57.319 called on officials to take part more events like this one, 1571 01:37:58.319 --> 01:38:00.800 so he will definitely be running again. 1572 01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:01.279 Folks. 1573 01:38:01.960 --> 01:38:05.000 He is going to be back out there and we're 1574 01:38:05.079 --> 01:38:07.720 going to have to see him in the public eye 1575 01:38:07.840 --> 01:38:13.359 once more once the next election starts. Here's a secondary 1576 01:38:13.359 --> 01:38:16.199 take on it from CNN, but it just holds veterans 1577 01:38:16.199 --> 01:38:19.640 focus town element in Iowa amid twenty twenty eight speculation. 1578 01:38:20.720 --> 01:38:26.359 Another thing that always bothers me is veterans issues tend 1579 01:38:26.439 --> 01:38:29.920 to be completely ignored until it can be used as 1580 01:38:29.960 --> 01:38:33.439 political football one way or the other. You know, promises 1581 01:38:33.439 --> 01:38:37.319 are made during an election cycle, and like all their 1582 01:38:37.359 --> 01:38:42.600 other promises, they get completely ignored. And personally, however I 1583 01:38:42.640 --> 01:38:45.279 feel about the wars that they were involved in, I 1584 01:38:45.319 --> 01:38:48.239 think we made a promise to them a promise that 1585 01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:51.800 we must keep if we have a contract. If you 1586 01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:53.720 have a contract with someone, you have to honor it. 1587 01:38:54.439 --> 01:38:55.279 And while I. 1588 01:38:55.279 --> 01:38:57.439 Do not support the wars, I do not support the 1589 01:38:57.840 --> 01:39:00.680 did not support the Iraq Afghanistan war, and I think 1590 01:39:00.920 --> 01:39:03.880 the American military has been a tool for much destruction 1591 01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:06.880 around the world. I do not believe that the individual 1592 01:39:06.920 --> 01:39:09.960 people involved in it are evil. I believe that they 1593 01:39:10.600 --> 01:39:15.319 bought into some really terrible propaganda and really thought that 1594 01:39:15.359 --> 01:39:17.920 they were going to make a difference and change the 1595 01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:21.840 world for the better. There are, of course exceptions to that, 1596 01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:24.720 but I believe that those are the exceptions. I don't 1597 01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:27.640 believe there are a majority of people that join the 1598 01:39:27.640 --> 01:39:31.199 American military because they simply want to be killers. I 1599 01:39:31.239 --> 01:39:34.079 think many of them were just sold a bill of goods, 1600 01:39:34.720 --> 01:39:43.680 and as such they are to be you know, they 1601 01:39:43.720 --> 01:39:47.960 are to be at most pitied, but we should still 1602 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:52.680 honor the contract we have with them. Zoro seventy. Who 1603 01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:56.159 am I to judge morals of founding fathers? Like Paul said, 1604 01:39:56.239 --> 01:39:58.520 even if one preaches God's word out of spite, at 1605 01:39:58.560 --> 01:40:01.920 least it gets preached that is true. That is true. 1606 01:40:02.119 --> 01:40:06.119 God's word can work through anyone, whether they believe it 1607 01:40:06.279 --> 01:40:10.600 or not. If they if they even say the Gospel, 1608 01:40:10.600 --> 01:40:13.960 it has power. That's the truth of it. God's word 1609 01:40:14.039 --> 01:40:18.399 is supernatural. God is a God of miracles. He is 1610 01:40:18.439 --> 01:40:21.239 not bound or constrained by the laws of the universe. 1611 01:40:21.760 --> 01:40:25.439 He is above and beyond them. All things are within 1612 01:40:25.520 --> 01:40:26.239 his grasp. 1613 01:40:27.159 --> 01:40:32.039 Also, people talk about the Founding Father's religion, and they'll 1614 01:40:32.079 --> 01:40:35.039 always bring up, like Jefferson cutting bits out of the Bible. 1615 01:40:35.800 --> 01:40:38.600 And that was more the exception than the rule. Most 1616 01:40:38.640 --> 01:40:42.520 of the Founding Fathers were Christian, and as you said, 1617 01:40:42.520 --> 01:40:46.920 the culture itself was strongly Christian or else, you know, 1618 01:40:47.439 --> 01:40:51.800 the Constitution wouldn't be endowed by our creator with certain 1619 01:40:51.840 --> 01:40:56.199 inalienable rights. And it even Jefferson, at least he cared 1620 01:40:56.439 --> 01:40:58.920 what was in the Bible enough to you know, make 1621 01:40:58.960 --> 01:41:02.479 his own version of it. That's not great, but at 1622 01:41:02.560 --> 01:41:06.800 least he's not. Oh yeah, I really liked that Two Corinthians. 1623 01:41:08.159 --> 01:41:12.800 Yes, the entire culture was steeped in, you know, at 1624 01:41:12.920 --> 01:41:18.359 least the the ideology and the verbiage of Christianity. Even 1625 01:41:18.399 --> 01:41:22.479 if they didn't believe it themselves, they still were surrounded 1626 01:41:22.479 --> 01:41:26.840 by it and had their actions modified by the sense 1627 01:41:26.920 --> 01:41:30.199 that they had to appeal to a people that were 1628 01:41:30.399 --> 01:41:36.720 heavily Christian. Now moving on to this story coming out 1629 01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:41.760 of the UK. This is on CNN. Man wrongfully jailed 1630 01:41:41.800 --> 01:41:47.880 for nearly four decades weeps as UK court overturns murder conviction. Man, 1631 01:41:47.920 --> 01:41:51.720 you spent nearly four decades in a British prison, British 1632 01:41:51.840 --> 01:41:54.199 prison in the killing of a bar maid, said he 1633 01:41:54.239 --> 01:41:56.479 was not angry or bitter Tuesday as his murder conviction 1634 01:41:56.600 --> 01:42:00.359 was overturned. He was released after being exonerated by Dnadence. 1635 01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:03.640 Now why do I bring this up. I bring this 1636 01:42:03.760 --> 01:42:07.359 up because I think this illustrates the importance of due 1637 01:42:07.439 --> 01:42:13.520 process for everyone. Assumably they did everything right. They followed 1638 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:16.399 the letter of the law, they followed their protocols. 1639 01:42:16.479 --> 01:42:16.960 They. 1640 01:42:18.279 --> 01:42:20.760 Did everything they could to get the right man and 1641 01:42:20.840 --> 01:42:23.760 to do it the right way, and they still got 1642 01:42:23.760 --> 01:42:27.000 it wrong. This man was locked up for nearly forty years. 1643 01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:30.960 And this is what can happen even when you follow 1644 01:42:31.239 --> 01:42:34.079 the procedures that are in place meant to protect people. 1645 01:42:34.399 --> 01:42:36.399 These are the sort of mistakes that can happen when 1646 01:42:36.439 --> 01:42:40.119 they are committed to doing the right thing when it 1647 01:42:40.159 --> 01:42:44.399 comes to upholding the rule of law. Imagine how bad 1648 01:42:44.479 --> 01:42:49.920 it can get if we discard due process. This can 1649 01:42:50.119 --> 01:42:53.880 very very easily become the norm. This can when they 1650 01:42:53.960 --> 01:42:56.039 don't have to do due process, when they don't have 1651 01:42:56.079 --> 01:42:58.640 to check, and when the government is committed to obfuscating 1652 01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:01.199 and hiding what really happened and who people really are, 1653 01:43:01.560 --> 01:43:04.159 this can become the norm. It can happen to you, 1654 01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:07.119 It could happen to me. This is why we have 1655 01:43:07.199 --> 01:43:11.159 to care about due process for everyone. And again, I 1656 01:43:11.199 --> 01:43:13.800 think a very strong case could be made that Abrago 1657 01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:16.239 Garcia is a bad guy that needs to go. But 1658 01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:25.399 I think that case does need to be made. We're all, folks, 1659 01:43:25.439 --> 01:43:27.760 It seems like we might be having some technical difficulties 1660 01:43:32.479 --> 01:43:37.279 justin Yeah, we're going to take a quick break, just 1661 01:43:37.359 --> 01:43:39.399 in case as we get this figured out. 1662 01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:42.119 Thank you, folks. 1663 01:43:41.880 --> 01:43:45.600 We see in our home, my boys, we're all can 1664 01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:49.960 see it with our devotion. Boys, call it the liberty tree. 1665 01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:54.680 It's a tall lo tree and the strong ble tree. 1666 01:43:55.279 --> 01:43:56.399 And we are the sons. 1667 01:43:56.479 --> 01:44:44.600 Yes, we are the sons, the sons of liberty. 1668 01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:54.079 Liberty. It's your move. You're listening to the David Night Show. 1669 01:44:57.479 --> 01:45:00.159 Well, welcome back, folks. Apparently we were offline for a 1670 01:45:00.199 --> 01:45:03.039 minute there. We're not entirely sure what happened. It just 1671 01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:06.159 dropped the connection, So if I had to guess, I 1672 01:45:06.199 --> 01:45:09.000 would say it was some kind of Internet outage on 1673 01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:13.119 our part briefly, or perhaps the system, the service that 1674 01:45:13.159 --> 01:45:15.520 we use to feed all these streams, may have had 1675 01:45:15.520 --> 01:45:18.439 some kind of internal issue. But hopefully we're back and 1676 01:45:18.479 --> 01:45:22.680 you're hearing us, and well, I don't know where we 1677 01:45:22.800 --> 01:45:28.600 cut out, so it's hard for me to say, but 1678 01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:30.560 I hopefully you heard what I had to say about 1679 01:45:30.560 --> 01:45:33.760 the man wrongfully convicted and why it's important. Now we're 1680 01:45:33.760 --> 01:45:38.119 going to look at this article off of Tennessee Star. 1681 01:45:38.640 --> 01:45:42.279 Nonprofit received nearly three million in government grants before donating 1682 01:45:42.279 --> 01:45:47.439 to Nashville Nashville Fund for Illegal Immigrants. I don't understand 1683 01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:49.760 how my dad talks for three hours and makes so 1684 01:45:49.840 --> 01:45:52.319 few mistakes. I feel as though I mess up every 1685 01:45:52.399 --> 01:45:56.880 other word. Prior to its recent donation to the Belonging Fund, 1686 01:45:57.000 --> 01:46:00.600 a new initiative established by Nashville Mayor Freddie o'connells Illegal 1687 01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:03.640 Immigrants followed a joint law enforcement operation between the Tennessee 1688 01:46:03.680 --> 01:46:08.119 Highway Patrol THHP and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE. 1689 01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:13.640 The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition TRRC received nearly 1690 01:46:13.720 --> 01:46:20.520 three million in government grants since twenty twenty. TRRC has 1691 01:46:20.560 --> 01:46:23.760 condemned the recent immigration enforcement in Nashville that has been 1692 01:46:24.439 --> 01:46:26.800 that has seen more than one hundred arrests, claiming law 1693 01:46:26.880 --> 01:46:29.479 enforcement was kidnapping our people off the street based on 1694 01:46:29.600 --> 01:46:34.359 nothing but the color of their skin. The group's opposition 1695 01:46:34.399 --> 01:46:37.119 to immigration enforcement led it to donate more than thirty 1696 01:46:37.119 --> 01:46:40.039 thousand dollars alongside other groups, to the Belonging Fund. The 1697 01:46:40.079 --> 01:46:42.640 mayor's office explained that the fund is a financial resource 1698 01:46:42.680 --> 01:46:47.840 created by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee CFM. I 1699 01:46:47.840 --> 01:46:50.119 think we're getting out of hand with initialism's, folks. Not 1700 01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:53.760 everything needs to be condensed down to an initialism. Sometimes 1701 01:46:53.760 --> 01:46:57.119 you can just have a name and it's okay. In 1702 01:46:57.159 --> 01:47:00.760 conjunction with the Metro Nashville government to supper immigrants in 1703 01:47:00.840 --> 01:47:05.399 Nashville during moments of crisis, isn't that sweet of them? 1704 01:47:05.880 --> 01:47:09.479 I'm sure that money couldn't be going to more important things, 1705 01:47:09.479 --> 01:47:15.439 more useful things, or things that could better the the 1706 01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:19.279 state of America. Announced by O'Connell last week, the mayor's 1707 01:47:19.319 --> 01:47:21.920 office said the fund will provide assistance to immigrants who 1708 01:47:21.960 --> 01:47:27.199 face sudden destabilizing changes through providing financial resources to nonprofit 1709 01:47:27.319 --> 01:47:36.319 organizations offering emergency assistance. That's the thing, folks, is America 1710 01:47:37.439 --> 01:47:43.039 should be for Americans first. That is, it's as simple 1711 01:47:43.079 --> 01:47:46.640 as that. I am of the opinion that we should 1712 01:47:47.239 --> 01:47:50.920 not accept any more immigrants until things have stabilized and 1713 01:47:51.000 --> 01:47:55.119 we have figured things out. The America is more than 1714 01:47:55.159 --> 01:47:58.000 an economic zone. It is a specific people. It is 1715 01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:00.199 a specific culture, and if you drown that out, you 1716 01:48:00.239 --> 01:48:04.199 lose America. If I were to suddenly, you know, uproot 1717 01:48:04.439 --> 01:48:06.279 all the people in China and swap them with the 1718 01:48:06.319 --> 01:48:10.479 people in Japan, the geographical area would still be the same, 1719 01:48:10.840 --> 01:48:14.720 but it would effectively switch which countries were which You 1720 01:48:14.800 --> 01:48:18.720 cannot import an infinite number of other cultures and keep 1721 01:48:18.760 --> 01:48:23.399 your culture intact. We are not the same country we 1722 01:48:23.399 --> 01:48:26.000 were even twenty years ago. We're not the same country 1723 01:48:26.199 --> 01:48:28.399 at all that we were fifty years ago. It is 1724 01:48:28.479 --> 01:48:32.920 a fractious, divided nation that we have become, and it 1725 01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:42.000 is largely because of the continua Well maybe not now 1726 01:48:42.039 --> 01:48:44.279 I'm going to say it largely because of the continued 1727 01:48:44.319 --> 01:48:49.000 import of people that do not have shared values this 1728 01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:53.159 is from the federalist Trump is right to prioritize refugees 1729 01:48:53.159 --> 01:48:58.680 who will make better Americans. Yes, there are cultures across 1730 01:48:58.720 --> 01:49:02.800 the globe that are more and more cohesive with the 1731 01:49:02.840 --> 01:49:06.079 culture we already have, and it is no shame to 1732 01:49:06.119 --> 01:49:09.920 prioritize people that meet assistance from these cultures that will 1733 01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:14.319 more seamlessly integrate with our own. On Monday, dozens of 1734 01:49:14.399 --> 01:49:17.600 South Africans, primarily white Afrikaner farmers, arrived in the United 1735 01:49:17.640 --> 01:49:22.760 States having been granted refuge status by the refugee status 1736 01:49:22.760 --> 01:49:28.000 by the Trump administration. The propaganda pressure excuse me by 1737 01:49:28.039 --> 01:49:31.439 implicitly accusing the administration of hypocrisy and racial bias. Yet 1738 01:49:31.439 --> 01:49:35.039 this criticism is not only disingenuous, it reflects a fundamental 1739 01:49:35.119 --> 01:49:38.359 misunderstanding of the purpose and limits of America's refugee and 1740 01:49:38.399 --> 01:49:42.560 asylum policies. If we are going to take in every 1741 01:49:42.560 --> 01:49:46.560 single person from the cross the globe who could potentially 1742 01:49:46.600 --> 01:49:50.439 claim that they are in danger or that their country 1743 01:49:50.479 --> 01:49:52.079 is falling apart and they need some place to go, 1744 01:49:52.960 --> 01:49:56.079 it will never end. It will be a constant flood, 1745 01:49:56.439 --> 01:50:01.680 a outpouring of people that will wash across America and 1746 01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:08.079 completely and utterly remake it. If simply coming from a 1747 01:50:08.119 --> 01:50:10.960 bad country, a dangerous country, is enough to get you 1748 01:50:11.000 --> 01:50:15.880 refugee status, then we cannot take refugees. It is as 1749 01:50:15.880 --> 01:50:18.680 simple as that. There has to be a broader There 1750 01:50:18.680 --> 01:50:21.640 has to be a smaller, more narrow criteria for who 1751 01:50:21.680 --> 01:50:25.079 we take for this sort of thing. A new South 1752 01:50:25.119 --> 01:50:27.800 African law means white farmers could have had their land 1753 01:50:27.840 --> 01:50:31.680 taken away without being paid for it. Though framed as 1754 01:50:31.720 --> 01:50:34.760 a correction to apartheid era injustice, the law has created 1755 01:50:34.800 --> 01:50:39.199 an environment where racially motivated persecution may become institutionalized. In 1756 01:50:39.199 --> 01:50:42.600 response to the Trump administration announced both an investigation into 1757 01:50:42.640 --> 01:50:45.760 South Africa and the approval of refugee status for sixty 1758 01:50:45.800 --> 01:50:51.159 individuals fleeing the persecution. And again, this is sixty individuals. 1759 01:50:51.800 --> 01:50:56.680 They are screaming and crying about sixty individuals from a 1760 01:50:56.760 --> 01:51:00.720 state that is currently basically sanctioning their rape and murder. 1761 01:51:01.479 --> 01:51:03.159 But the flood. 1762 01:51:03.319 --> 01:51:09.840 Across the borders is supposed to be ignored, if and celebrated. 1763 01:51:11.279 --> 01:51:15.199 It is almost These people are evil, and it is 1764 01:51:15.239 --> 01:51:17.640 simply because they hate the United States and want to 1765 01:51:17.640 --> 01:51:21.840 see it collapse. They want to unmake it and reshape it. 1766 01:51:22.000 --> 01:51:26.439 Into a purely economic zone where handouts are given to 1767 01:51:26.560 --> 01:51:30.640 those they deem worthy. That is what this is about. 1768 01:51:33.199 --> 01:51:36.079 The refugees will land in Virginia before taking up residences 1769 01:51:36.119 --> 01:51:39.159 in ten states, according to The Washington Post. Teo Armis, 1770 01:51:39.239 --> 01:51:42.359 writing for The Washington Post, frame the administration's decision as 1771 01:51:42.399 --> 01:51:45.680 a racially charged exception Trump shut out refugees, but as 1772 01:51:45.760 --> 01:51:50.680 making white South Africans an exception. It's also perhaps because 1773 01:51:50.760 --> 01:51:53.600 they are in more direct danger than these other people are, 1774 01:51:53.720 --> 01:51:58.920 because they are being targeted not just by random groups 1775 01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:03.000 for violence, but by the state itself. They are persona 1776 01:52:03.119 --> 01:52:07.760 non grata based on their identity in the country they 1777 01:52:07.800 --> 01:52:12.239 are from. Months after the Trump administration ground usfugi admissions 1778 01:52:12.239 --> 01:52:15.319 to a halt, suspending a program that lets in thousands 1779 01:52:15.359 --> 01:52:18.000 of people fleeing war or political persecution. It is praying 1780 01:52:18.000 --> 01:52:21.079 to restart that effort, but only for one group, White 1781 01:52:21.079 --> 01:52:25.079 South Africans. Armus Road. He later contrasted this decision with 1782 01:52:25.079 --> 01:52:27.760 the Trump administration stempt to halt the resettling of approximately 1783 01:52:27.760 --> 01:52:30.920 twelve thousand people when district court judge ultimately ordered to 1784 01:52:30.920 --> 01:52:35.720 be admitted to the country. And again, there are cultures 1785 01:52:35.840 --> 01:52:41.039 that blend more easily with the American culture. The white 1786 01:52:41.039 --> 01:52:44.520 South African culture is probably one of those. They are 1787 01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:49.920 a conscientious, hard working people. They have four years put 1788 01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:55.439 up with an outpouring of abuse and have stood up 1789 01:52:55.479 --> 01:52:57.600 for liberty and they have fought hard for it, which 1790 01:52:57.640 --> 01:53:02.319 is something that America used to be about. So yes, 1791 01:53:02.439 --> 01:53:05.840 I'm all for that prioritize the South Africans. 1792 01:53:06.520 --> 01:53:12.239 This really amazes me the amount of hypocrisy of we 1793 01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:16.199 have to accept refugees from all these countries just because 1794 01:53:16.319 --> 01:53:18.159 it's a poor country that they're from, or it's a 1795 01:53:18.199 --> 01:53:22.399 high crime country that they're from, when these people are 1796 01:53:23.720 --> 01:53:28.800 genuine refugees of a genuine genocide, and he takes in 1797 01:53:29.119 --> 01:53:33.079 just sixty people, the tiniest drop in the bucket, both 1798 01:53:33.119 --> 01:53:37.039 of the people that need refuge from their government in 1799 01:53:37.079 --> 01:53:40.359 South Africa, and a tiny drop in the bucket in 1800 01:53:40.439 --> 01:53:44.800 terms of the immigration that we see in America all 1801 01:53:44.880 --> 01:53:47.279 the time. Every day, we get way more than that 1802 01:53:47.520 --> 01:53:51.399 over the border, probably on a daily basis, And yet 1803 01:53:51.680 --> 01:53:55.720 this is apparently a huge deal to these people. They 1804 01:53:55.840 --> 01:54:02.079 cannot accept even just sixty people that need refuge. It 1805 01:54:02.119 --> 01:54:07.600 really puts the lie to this whole compassionate thing. They 1806 01:54:08.159 --> 01:54:11.720 putting the face of compassion on the cloud and Piven strategy. 1807 01:54:12.520 --> 01:54:14.640 Yes, and I mean part of it is it boils 1808 01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:18.239 downs to a lot. They specifically hate white people. They 1809 01:54:18.239 --> 01:54:21.520 have a deep disdain for it because of their Marxist 1810 01:54:21.640 --> 01:54:26.359 critical theory. And this article is coming out of The 1811 01:54:26.439 --> 01:54:30.680 Guardian how driving lessons are helping Ohio's Haitians. Things are 1812 01:54:30.680 --> 01:54:35.079 getting better. Landmark driving simulators are improving road safety and 1813 01:54:35.119 --> 01:54:38.079 helping Springfield immigrants targeted by Trump officials. 1814 01:54:38.720 --> 01:54:39.880 Well that's that's good. 1815 01:54:40.479 --> 01:54:43.880 Now the Haitians can hop in their car and go 1816 01:54:43.960 --> 01:54:45.760 drive to get the cats that they want to eat. 1817 01:54:46.560 --> 01:54:50.279 Of course, we're just I'm so happy for the Haitians. 1818 01:54:50.359 --> 01:54:53.600 They're learning to drive as opposed to just crashing into 1819 01:54:53.640 --> 01:54:57.520 everyone and everything slowly and carefully. Bettina, who came from 1820 01:54:57.600 --> 01:55:01.279 Haiti to Ohio in twenty twenty one, navig Toyota SUV 1821 01:55:01.479 --> 01:55:07.199 between five traffic cones and a parking lot northwest of Springfield. Bettina, 1822 01:55:07.239 --> 01:55:10.800 who works for a produce processing company, has never driven before, 1823 01:55:11.159 --> 01:55:13.800 but now four years into life in Springfield, she has 1824 01:55:13.920 --> 01:55:17.399 grasped the challenge of learning to drive. I live close 1825 01:55:17.439 --> 01:55:19.199 to my job, so driving is not that big a deal, 1826 01:55:19.279 --> 01:55:22.039 she says, But I'm taking these classes because I want 1827 01:55:22.039 --> 01:55:24.520 to go to Columbus or Dayton. I can drive myself there. 1828 01:55:24.960 --> 01:55:28.359 That's great. I cannot wait for these people to start 1829 01:55:28.399 --> 01:55:32.399 taking longer road trips after being given the bare minimum 1830 01:55:32.439 --> 01:55:36.640 instruction by someone that was hired by the federal government, 1831 01:55:36.920 --> 01:55:40.600 who are known for hiring the hardest working people on 1832 01:55:40.640 --> 01:55:45.640 the planet. Sitting in the passenger seat is a driving instructor, 1833 01:55:47.159 --> 01:55:51.880 Jose Pierre, who came to Springfield two years ago, commonly 1834 01:55:51.960 --> 01:55:56.119 delivering guidance in Haitian creole. Many Haitians had been complaining 1835 01:55:56.119 --> 01:55:58.560 that when they took the driving test and failed, they 1836 01:55:58.560 --> 01:56:00.840 were then sent to take the abbreviation to adult driver 1837 01:56:00.920 --> 01:56:03.399 training online. But most of them don't speak English, Peer 1838 01:56:03.439 --> 01:56:09.479 says later, Strike, you don't speak English, that's a big problem. 1839 01:56:10.439 --> 01:56:13.680 If we have to continually put out all our resources 1840 01:56:13.680 --> 01:56:16.800 in every language under the sun, so that the flood 1841 01:56:16.800 --> 01:56:21.479 of immigrants can you know, get our driver, get driver's 1842 01:56:21.520 --> 01:56:25.239 licenses or any other piece of documentation or whatever. This 1843 01:56:25.640 --> 01:56:29.239 is just spreading everything so thin. Do we have to 1844 01:56:29.319 --> 01:56:33.760 put out the driver's test in Haitian creole? 1845 01:56:33.800 --> 01:56:33.960 Now? 1846 01:56:34.039 --> 01:56:35.279 Is that what we're going to have to do? Or 1847 01:56:35.279 --> 01:56:37.680 are we're just going to have to hire how many 1848 01:56:37.720 --> 01:56:41.399 more jose Piers on the public, you know, on the 1849 01:56:41.439 --> 01:56:42.359 taxpayer's dime. 1850 01:56:42.760 --> 01:56:46.800 Plus what language are the road signs written in? You know, 1851 01:56:46.920 --> 01:56:50.000 that's kind of important. I know in some places they're 1852 01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:52.560 also putting Spanish on that. Are we going to have 1853 01:56:52.840 --> 01:56:55.239 the sort of thing where you have in instructions where 1854 01:56:55.239 --> 01:56:57.479 there's a dozen different languages and you have to search 1855 01:56:57.520 --> 01:56:58.560 for English. 1856 01:56:58.920 --> 01:57:01.199 Yeah, instead of roadsigns, it'll just be a booklet that 1857 01:57:01.239 --> 01:57:03.079 you have to flip through as you pass by it. 1858 01:57:04.079 --> 01:57:08.000 But this is the consequence of multiculturalism. This is what 1859 01:57:08.039 --> 01:57:10.760 it comes down to. We have to have our driving 1860 01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:16.439 instructors speak Haitian creole in Springfield, Ohio. This is what 1861 01:57:16.600 --> 01:57:24.159 comes of that. It leads to just utter insanity. By 1862 01:57:24.239 --> 01:57:26.000 doing the in person course of the help of a 1863 01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:28.920 creole speaker that helped them a lot. Yes, well, I'm 1864 01:57:28.920 --> 01:57:31.319 sure there will always be a creole speaker on hand 1865 01:57:31.880 --> 01:57:34.760 for when they have issues in the vehicle, or as 1866 01:57:35.199 --> 01:57:37.439 Whistler pointed out, when they're driving down the road and 1867 01:57:37.439 --> 01:57:39.680 they see a sign, or when they get pulled over 1868 01:57:39.720 --> 01:57:42.359 by police. I'm sure the police speak Haitian Creole and 1869 01:57:42.399 --> 01:57:45.800 won't have any sort of negative interaction with these people 1870 01:57:45.840 --> 01:57:49.479 when they've driven from their resident area to someplace that 1871 01:57:49.720 --> 01:57:53.960 does not have a large population of Haitians that speak Creole. 1872 01:57:54.279 --> 01:57:57.199 I'm sure this will lead to only good things and 1873 01:57:57.239 --> 01:58:02.079 not lead to many many negative interactions at all. For years, 1874 01:58:02.079 --> 01:58:04.600 long time Springfield residents have shown up at city council 1875 01:58:04.640 --> 01:58:07.319 meetings to complain to authorities about how Haitian drivers were 1876 01:58:07.359 --> 01:58:13.039 allegedly allegedly I'm allegedly driving dangerously around the town. Stories 1877 01:58:13.039 --> 01:58:17.279 emerger of people allegedly Haitians accidentally driving into church buildings, 1878 01:58:17.399 --> 01:58:20.000 others were blamed for accidents causing deaths, and at one 1879 01:58:20.039 --> 01:58:25.000 point this I get that in the media you have 1880 01:58:25.079 --> 01:58:27.760 to say allegedly because you have to cover your rear 1881 01:58:27.880 --> 01:58:34.039 end and good practice to some extent when saying these 1882 01:58:34.119 --> 01:58:38.600 kinds of things. However, this feels more like an obfuscation 1883 01:58:38.760 --> 01:58:42.359 of things. The fact that they need a person who 1884 01:58:42.439 --> 01:58:46.039 speaks Haitian Creole to give them instruction is in itself 1885 01:58:46.079 --> 01:58:50.079 a tacit admission that the Haitian drivers are bad, that 1886 01:58:50.159 --> 01:58:54.039 they are bad drivers. If they were good drivers, there 1887 01:58:54.079 --> 01:58:57.720 wouldn't be a need for a Haitian Creole instructor because 1888 01:58:57.760 --> 01:59:00.560 they would just be getting away with it reached a 1889 01:59:00.600 --> 01:59:04.840 point of such absurdity that the city itself had to 1890 01:59:04.920 --> 01:59:09.439 hire someone that speaks their incredibly niche language and bring 1891 01:59:09.479 --> 01:59:12.760 them in to teach them, because assumedly the people had 1892 01:59:12.760 --> 01:59:16.119 had enough and it had reached a point of it 1893 01:59:16.239 --> 01:59:18.840 reached a boiling point where it can no longer be tolerated. 1894 01:59:19.600 --> 01:59:22.840 It's kind of funny that they're saying allegedly, these people 1895 01:59:22.880 --> 01:59:25.920 that have absolutely no experience driving and just get pined 1896 01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:27.840 the wheel for the first time in their lives aren't 1897 01:59:27.840 --> 01:59:29.920 the best drivers, You think. 1898 01:59:30.800 --> 01:59:33.119 Yeah, it's really just kind of a prime facious sort 1899 01:59:33.119 --> 01:59:36.039 of thing. The fact that this article exists is proof 1900 01:59:36.159 --> 01:59:38.880 that the Haitians are not good drivers and in fact 1901 01:59:39.039 --> 01:59:46.119 are causing chaos in Springfield, Ohio. This is just part 1902 01:59:46.159 --> 01:59:49.920 of the insanity that comes with multiculturalism, and Haiti is 1903 01:59:50.079 --> 01:59:54.119 such a nightmarish country. 1904 01:59:54.399 --> 01:59:56.399 I wonder how many of them are looking for jobs 1905 01:59:56.479 --> 01:59:59.359 driving eighteen wheelers like we saw at the beginning of 1906 01:59:59.399 --> 01:59:59.920 the program. 1907 02:00:00.079 --> 02:00:04.039 Well, I'm sure jose Pierre will have their back on that. 1908 02:00:04.159 --> 02:00:06.680 He'll give them the lessons they need to be able 1909 02:00:06.720 --> 02:00:09.600 to drive that eighteen wheeler. Anywhere they want to go. 1910 02:00:10.840 --> 02:00:14.279 And I think we're going to take a quick break 1911 02:00:14.319 --> 02:00:17.560 because my mouth and throat are incredibly dry, and we 1912 02:00:17.680 --> 02:00:19.399 will be right back. 1913 02:01:12.560 --> 02:01:14.920 You're listening to the David Knight Show. 1914 02:01:16.479 --> 02:01:19.079 Well, welcome back, folks, and thank you for still being 1915 02:01:19.079 --> 02:01:21.960 here with us. And I just want to take this 1916 02:01:22.279 --> 02:01:24.880 moment here to once again ask you to keep our 1917 02:01:25.000 --> 02:01:28.199 dad in your prayers. As before, it has been extremely 1918 02:01:28.199 --> 02:01:31.920 hard on him. He is a very independent person. He 1919 02:01:31.960 --> 02:01:36.000 has always been one to question what people tell him 1920 02:01:36.000 --> 02:01:38.800 and having to lie in a hospital bed and not 1921 02:01:38.840 --> 02:01:42.640 be able to do things is really really hard on him. 1922 02:01:43.000 --> 02:01:45.520 So please keep lifting him up and praying for healing, 1923 02:01:46.079 --> 02:01:49.479 praying for a speedy recovery, praying that God would extend 1924 02:01:49.520 --> 02:01:52.720 his mercy and give him peace and peace for our 1925 02:01:52.800 --> 02:01:57.600 mom as well, as she has been just incredibly strong 1926 02:01:57.680 --> 02:01:59.520 through all this and she has been there for him, 1927 02:02:00.279 --> 02:02:02.720 help him with anything and everything that he needs. She 1928 02:02:02.920 --> 02:02:05.560 is an incredible woman and an amazing wife and mother. 1929 02:02:06.119 --> 02:02:09.119 We are so blessed to have them as our parents, 1930 02:02:09.840 --> 02:02:14.159 and just again, please keep praying for him. Here is 1931 02:02:14.239 --> 02:02:19.239 that I really love this picture so glad that I 1932 02:02:19.279 --> 02:02:22.880 got to take it on my dad's birthday in fact, 1933 02:02:23.800 --> 02:02:25.800 So from now on when I'm on the show, our 1934 02:02:25.840 --> 02:02:28.560 son will be called Little David. You can refer to 1935 02:02:28.640 --> 02:02:29.560 him as that if you want. 1936 02:02:29.600 --> 02:02:31.239 But he really loves his Pappy. 1937 02:02:31.279 --> 02:02:34.199 He's always so happy when he gets to hang out 1938 02:02:34.199 --> 02:02:37.079 with him, play with him, spend time with him. So 1939 02:02:37.159 --> 02:02:40.880 we are all so eager to have Dad back. Little 1940 02:02:40.960 --> 02:02:45.279 David especially he misses him. When we took him to 1941 02:02:45.319 --> 02:02:47.680 see him in the hospital, he was just so excited. 1942 02:02:47.760 --> 02:02:52.000 He was smiling and giggling and just having a great time. 1943 02:02:52.359 --> 02:02:54.319 Very glad to see Grammy and Pappy again. 1944 02:02:57.199 --> 02:03:00.560 So I'd like to add to that a little bit 1945 02:03:00.640 --> 02:03:05.279 more detail. Please pray for my dad's throat and tongue, 1946 02:03:05.399 --> 02:03:10.239 especially during the operation. They had to move the nerve 1947 02:03:10.359 --> 02:03:12.760 for his tongue out of the way, and he's been 1948 02:03:12.920 --> 02:03:17.800 having some issues swallowing and that's made it very hard 1949 02:03:17.800 --> 02:03:21.159 for him to sleep. He hasn't had basically any sleep 1950 02:03:21.239 --> 02:03:26.319 since the operation on Monday because it's just really difficult 1951 02:03:26.319 --> 02:03:28.279 for him to swallow, and that causes him to choke 1952 02:03:28.279 --> 02:03:31.159 when he's trying to sleep. So please pray that he 1953 02:03:31.239 --> 02:03:35.680 gets some good healing rest and that his throat recovers quickly. 1954 02:03:36.680 --> 02:03:42.239 Yes, please continue to pray for all those things. And actually, 1955 02:03:42.319 --> 02:03:45.399 since this is the David Knight Show, we are going 1956 02:03:45.640 --> 02:03:49.119 to spend the rest of the show playing out some 1957 02:03:49.279 --> 02:03:52.319 clips from him because we want to make sure that 1958 02:03:53.000 --> 02:03:56.079 you guys still get the quality of information that you 1959 02:03:56.119 --> 02:04:00.960 are used to. We're going to start with how homeschoolers 1960 02:04:01.039 --> 02:04:03.720 need to be wary of federal funding and what that 1961 02:04:03.800 --> 02:04:07.720 can mean. When the government comes with a wad of cash, 1962 02:04:07.760 --> 02:04:11.039 there is generally a hook inside it. They are trying 1963 02:04:11.079 --> 02:04:13.079 to get you on the line so that they can 1964 02:04:13.479 --> 02:04:16.239 put their hooks in you and tell you what you 1965 02:04:16.359 --> 02:04:20.159 have to do and what you must do to your children. 1966 02:04:20.520 --> 02:04:23.000 It's going to start with that one, and then we 1967 02:04:23.039 --> 02:04:25.880 are also going to talk about Tennessee and it's push 1968 02:04:26.199 --> 02:04:32.439 to excuse Tennessee and SSRI pills. We talked about SSRIs 1969 02:04:32.479 --> 02:04:34.640 a little bit earlier in the show, and this is 1970 02:04:34.680 --> 02:04:37.640 how Tennessee is handling them. And then finally it is 1971 02:04:37.680 --> 02:04:40.039 going to be the interview my dad did with Jay 1972 02:04:40.079 --> 02:04:43.439 Warner Wallace. I always really enjoy the interviews with Jay Warner. 1973 02:04:43.439 --> 02:04:48.079 I think he is a fantastic speaker, and just again 1974 02:04:48.279 --> 02:04:54.520 the information is important and it's about the gospel, so 1975 02:04:54.800 --> 02:04:58.039 that is more important than anything else. The most important 1976 02:04:58.039 --> 02:05:00.239 thing you can do is give your life to Christ. 1977 02:05:00.520 --> 02:05:02.720 So I want to make sure that we continue to 1978 02:05:02.760 --> 02:05:05.840 honor what my dad has always tried to do and 1979 02:05:06.920 --> 02:05:10.600 maintain that and give people that information and keep that 1980 02:05:10.680 --> 02:05:13.399 at the forefront of things. So thank you all for 1981 02:05:13.439 --> 02:05:16.760 tuning in today. Please keep my dad in your prayers, 1982 02:05:17.159 --> 02:05:20.800 and we'll see you here tomorrow where Tony Orderburn will 1983 02:05:20.840 --> 02:05:23.119 be joining us. Thank you all so much. 1984 02:05:31.279 --> 02:05:35.279 A lot of states are now advancing tax funded choice 1985 02:05:35.359 --> 02:05:38.680 quote unquote choice. Wasn't choice in education? 1986 02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:39.000 Good? 1987 02:05:39.079 --> 02:05:40.880 Well, yes it is, but that's not what we're talking 1988 02:05:40.880 --> 02:05:44.920 about here. We're talking about government funding. And what Alex 1989 02:05:45.000 --> 02:05:48.000 Newman is trying to do is to warn home schooling 1990 02:05:48.199 --> 02:05:50.840 families about the fact. 1991 02:05:50.560 --> 02:05:51.520 That this is a trap. 1992 02:05:52.520 --> 02:05:56.399 I should have put in a Admiral ackbar. It's a trap, right, 1993 02:05:56.800 --> 02:06:00.520 This is what government money is a trap for home schoolers. 1994 02:06:00.520 --> 02:06:02.840 And he talks about the fact this is coming from UNESCO. 1995 02:06:03.199 --> 02:06:07.880 Their own documents show that they're trying to rope private 1996 02:06:07.920 --> 02:06:13.159 schools and home schools into the government system. This is 1997 02:06:13.199 --> 02:06:16.279 what UNESCO is saying. You can see their own documents. 1998 02:06:16.680 --> 02:06:21.720 They want to expand so called choice programs and universal 1999 02:06:21.760 --> 02:06:26.239 government funding of education. Now here's the parallel, right when 2000 02:06:26.239 --> 02:06:28.640 we look at Trump getting rid of the Department of Education, 2001 02:06:28.800 --> 02:06:31.760 I've always wanted to see the Department of Education gotten 2002 02:06:31.840 --> 02:06:33.680 rid of. I want to see the government out of 2003 02:06:33.720 --> 02:06:36.840 the education business, especially the federal government. I want to 2004 02:06:36.840 --> 02:06:38.680 see the government at the state and local level out 2005 02:06:38.720 --> 02:06:41.439 of education, but especially the federal government. They have no 2006 02:06:42.399 --> 02:06:46.279 warrant for doing that at all in the Constitution. And 2007 02:06:46.359 --> 02:06:48.800 yet what are you looking at with Trump. They're going 2008 02:06:48.920 --> 02:06:53.439 to move the monetary functions, the grants and all the 2009 02:06:53.439 --> 02:06:56.079 rest of the stuff, giving the money to states, giving 2010 02:06:56.159 --> 02:07:02.479 the money to maybe private schools, even to homeschools, federal money. Right, 2011 02:07:02.840 --> 02:07:05.720 all of that grant making capability, all that cash, all 2012 02:07:05.760 --> 02:07:09.720 the bribery and subsequent blackmail when you don't do what 2013 02:07:09.760 --> 02:07:13.079 they want, that bribery and blackmail, all that massive amount 2014 02:07:13.079 --> 02:07:15.880 of money, which is the way the Department of Educations 2015 02:07:15.920 --> 02:07:18.600 always work. Look, they understand that they don't have any 2016 02:07:18.640 --> 02:07:21.640 authority to even exist under the Constitution. So how do 2017 02:07:21.680 --> 02:07:24.279 they get people to do what they want? Well, they 2018 02:07:24.279 --> 02:07:27.760 give them financial incentives to use No Child left Behind 2019 02:07:27.960 --> 02:07:30.840 or whatever else that was what George W. Bush was selling. 2020 02:07:31.319 --> 02:07:33.800 So they come up with one of their curriculum and 2021 02:07:34.279 --> 02:07:38.239 they give you financial incentives to use that. They would 2022 02:07:38.279 --> 02:07:40.960 like to now since it's been so discredited and people 2023 02:07:41.000 --> 02:07:43.439 see the results of what's happened in the government schools, 2024 02:07:43.640 --> 02:07:45.279 say oh, well, you can do better. You can have 2025 02:07:45.479 --> 02:07:47.560 you can start your own charter schools or private schools 2026 02:07:47.640 --> 02:07:49.199 or whatever, and we'll give you the money to do that. 2027 02:07:49.680 --> 02:07:51.800 We'll even give money to the homeschoolers to do this. 2028 02:07:51.920 --> 02:07:54.239 And what they'll do is they'll push their curriculum again. 2029 02:07:54.560 --> 02:07:58.039 It'll be the same function you see, and so in 2030 02:07:58.079 --> 02:08:01.159 the same way that the evil that the Department of 2031 02:08:01.239 --> 02:08:05.199 Education is doing, it's really the bribery and the blackmail 2032 02:08:05.239 --> 02:08:07.520 through the money, and that function is not going. 2033 02:08:07.399 --> 02:08:07.760 To go away. 2034 02:08:07.800 --> 02:08:09.720 They'll get rid of the bureaucracy, just like they get 2035 02:08:09.800 --> 02:08:11.960 rid of the IRS agents and replace them with AI. 2036 02:08:13.000 --> 02:08:15.479 They're going to get rid of the Department of Education. 2037 02:08:15.520 --> 02:08:18.319 And everybody cheers Trump as a savior. And yet he'll 2038 02:08:18.319 --> 02:08:20.960 take the money granting functions and he'll put them in 2039 02:08:21.000 --> 02:08:23.800 different places and the money will still be coming from 2040 02:08:23.840 --> 02:08:28.199 the federal government to control education and wait and see 2041 02:08:28.560 --> 02:08:30.560 by oh well, Trump's going to help us with that. Well, 2042 02:08:30.600 --> 02:08:33.439 you wait and see what happens. I mean, just take 2043 02:08:33.439 --> 02:08:34.720 a look at what they do with the money again 2044 02:08:34.800 --> 02:08:36.840 with the trainees. You know, when it's Obama and Biden, 2045 02:08:37.119 --> 02:08:40.680 they pay them to put the trainees in the bathrooms 2046 02:08:40.720 --> 02:08:43.159 and the showers, or I'm going to take your money away. 2047 02:08:43.520 --> 02:08:45.720 Then when Trump comes in, he says, if you put 2048 02:08:45.760 --> 02:08:47.640 them in the showers, in the bathrooms, I'm going to 2049 02:08:47.680 --> 02:08:49.600 take your money away. And it's back and forth, back 2050 02:08:49.680 --> 02:08:52.560 and forth, back and forth. Do you really want that 2051 02:08:52.640 --> 02:08:55.119 kind of assistant? Do you really want to be bribed 2052 02:08:55.479 --> 02:09:00.960 and blackmailed with your own money? Don't take the money 2053 02:09:01.000 --> 02:09:04.880 and understand that just as getting rid of the so 2054 02:09:05.039 --> 02:09:09.880 called Department of Education, but maintaining those functions, those supply 2055 02:09:10.000 --> 02:09:14.000 lines of cash, the strings that they're going to use 2056 02:09:14.079 --> 02:09:17.760 to control you, maintaining that is evil in the same 2057 02:09:17.800 --> 02:09:23.520 way getting rid of the so called education bureaucracy and 2058 02:09:23.640 --> 02:09:27.000 transferring all of that into private schools which are still 2059 02:09:27.039 --> 02:09:30.319 going to have the funding from government and the controls 2060 02:09:30.439 --> 02:09:33.319 and the strings and this is the curriculum we like, 2061 02:09:33.439 --> 02:09:36.359 free to use, and YadA yadia. Doing all of that 2062 02:09:36.640 --> 02:09:38.960 at the local level is the same thing that they're 2063 02:09:39.000 --> 02:09:41.359 doing at the federal level with the Department of Education 2064 02:09:41.439 --> 02:09:43.560 is making people think that there's a change when they 2065 02:09:43.600 --> 02:09:50.359 maintain the lines of control, which are the money, follow 2066 02:09:50.399 --> 02:09:52.119 the money. It's always about the money. 2067 02:09:52.199 --> 02:09:52.399 Law. 2068 02:09:52.560 --> 02:09:56.680 The program will offer five thousand dollars refundable tax credits 2069 02:09:56.720 --> 02:10:02.199 to cover non government education expenses. Same thing happened in Tennessee. 2070 02:10:02.279 --> 02:10:03.920 I talked about that, and he talks about it coming 2071 02:10:03.960 --> 02:10:07.880 up here too. At Tennessee. You know, they they had 2072 02:10:07.960 --> 02:10:13.199 this subsidy bill economic subsidy for private schools, charter schools 2073 02:10:13.199 --> 02:10:16.600 and things like that, and wanted to push it out 2074 02:10:16.600 --> 02:10:20.279 to homeschools, and the homeschoolers resisted, and so they came 2075 02:10:20.359 --> 02:10:22.000 up and they said, all right, we'll offer you the 2076 02:10:22.039 --> 02:10:26.079 Free Act, and we've heard you. If you don't want 2077 02:10:26.079 --> 02:10:28.159 to take the money, well here's what we'll do. You 2078 02:10:28.199 --> 02:10:33.520 support this bill for educational choice and the government handing 2079 02:10:33.520 --> 02:10:35.520 out money to people which will be used to bribe 2080 02:10:35.520 --> 02:10:39.199 and control and to blackmail them. You support that, and 2081 02:10:39.239 --> 02:10:42.159 then we will pass the Free Acts, which says that 2082 02:10:42.239 --> 02:10:44.319 if you don't take the government's money, they don't have 2083 02:10:44.399 --> 02:10:45.920 you don't have to do anything with them. You don't 2084 02:10:45.960 --> 02:10:48.000 have to declare that you're schooling your children. You don't 2085 02:10:48.000 --> 02:10:50.840 have to do anything. What happened we had Republicans. Five 2086 02:10:50.880 --> 02:10:55.840 Republicans worked with the Democrats to scuttle that in Tennessee. 2087 02:10:56.119 --> 02:11:00.560 So we wound up with the money going out to 2088 02:11:00.640 --> 02:11:03.960 control education, just like UNESCO the UN said to do, 2089 02:11:04.840 --> 02:11:07.960 but not with the freedom to be left alone to 2090 02:11:08.079 --> 02:11:13.359 educate your own children in Tennessee, says Alex. Alex Newman, 2091 02:11:13.760 --> 02:11:19.680 not Alex. And Tennessee lawmakers recently approved universal ESA funds 2092 02:11:19.720 --> 02:11:23.039 for families up to seven thousand dollars per student, and 2093 02:11:23.199 --> 02:11:27.399 Idaho it's only five, here's seven thousand. Wyoming meanwhile expanded 2094 02:11:27.439 --> 02:11:30.760 its program this year by eliminating income restrictions for eligibility, 2095 02:11:30.760 --> 02:11:35.279 but opposition is now growing in Texas. Texas is the 2096 02:11:35.319 --> 02:11:40.119 only major homeschool association that supports government funding of home education. 2097 02:11:40.199 --> 02:11:43.520 The lone Star state is close to passing a major 2098 02:11:43.560 --> 02:11:47.399 so called choice bill. The bill would send billions more 2099 02:11:47.439 --> 02:11:51.079 to government schools. Now, let me tell you, I think 2100 02:11:51.119 --> 02:11:55.800 that this is not unrelated to what's going on with 2101 02:11:55.960 --> 02:11:59.000 the Fatalogulen people and the schools of science and math 2102 02:11:59.079 --> 02:12:03.159 and all that stuff that mark hall Is documentary Killing Ed. 2103 02:12:04.239 --> 02:12:06.680 He talks about what was happening with that organization, and 2104 02:12:06.720 --> 02:12:09.319 I think that it's not any coincidence that you've got 2105 02:12:09.319 --> 02:12:12.960 a major homeschool organization there that is pushing for more 2106 02:12:13.000 --> 02:12:16.920 money to go into these things. Fatalagu lend people that 2107 02:12:18.319 --> 02:12:23.319 Islamic cleric cultists. Of course, they were very clear to 2108 02:12:23.359 --> 02:12:25.640 try to make it a secular school, but they're still 2109 02:12:26.439 --> 02:12:29.359 bringing in people, paying them multiple times what they pay 2110 02:12:29.359 --> 02:12:32.119 American teachers bringing him from Turkey, say what's their expertise? 2111 02:12:32.119 --> 02:12:34.720 And the American teachers are saying they don't even know 2112 02:12:34.760 --> 02:12:37.239 the math that they're trying to teach here, but they 2113 02:12:37.239 --> 02:12:39.800 pay him like double the salary, and then these guys 2114 02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:44.159 kick it back to the institute that's there. Mark Hall 2115 02:12:44.239 --> 02:12:47.760 documented that very well and Killing Ed well, we talked 2116 02:12:47.760 --> 02:12:51.880 about somebody that had to you know, was being attacked 2117 02:12:52.159 --> 02:12:53.760 in a lot of different ways. He had to air 2118 02:12:53.880 --> 02:12:56.000 gap his computer and all the rest of the stuff. Anyway, 2119 02:12:56.319 --> 02:12:57.880 it's a great documentary. You used to see it, but 2120 02:12:57.920 --> 02:13:01.039 I think it's nearly a billion dollars now that they're 2121 02:13:01.039 --> 02:13:04.760 getting out of Texas for these schools being run by 2122 02:13:04.800 --> 02:13:09.840 this Islamic cult. The galinists, and I think that that's 2123 02:13:09.840 --> 02:13:11.760 one of the reasons why this is happening in Texas. 2124 02:13:12.439 --> 02:13:15.640 All the rest of the homeschool associations and every other 2125 02:13:15.800 --> 02:13:19.359 state are against this money out there because they know 2126 02:13:20.640 --> 02:13:22.720 that people are going to accept that bribe and they 2127 02:13:22.760 --> 02:13:25.239 know how it's going to be used. These bills weren't 2128 02:13:25.279 --> 02:13:30.000 pushed by homeschoolers. They didn't originate from homeschooling. They're not 2129 02:13:30.199 --> 02:13:34.399 organic to our movement because they are the opposite of 2130 02:13:34.399 --> 02:13:36.800 what homeschooling has been about for the last fifty years. 2131 02:13:37.800 --> 02:13:38.039 Book. 2132 02:13:38.159 --> 02:13:42.720 These bills are about controlling home schoolers. It is a 2133 02:13:42.880 --> 02:13:48.319 scheme to funnel taxpayer money to state approved curriculum providers. 2134 02:13:48.319 --> 02:13:52.680 You see, if they fund it, they'll define it state 2135 02:13:52.720 --> 02:13:57.479 approved curriculum providers and testing companies, while politicians pat themselves 2136 02:13:57.520 --> 02:14:00.239 on the back for helping homeschoolers. So you'll go in 2137 02:14:00.359 --> 02:14:05.119 and they'll say, well, okay, you're going to homeschool. We're 2138 02:14:05.119 --> 02:14:08.199 not going to give you any help unless you use 2139 02:14:08.279 --> 02:14:11.399 this curriculum. And if you use that curriculum, we'll pay 2140 02:14:11.399 --> 02:14:12.800 for it and we'll give you some other money to 2141 02:14:12.960 --> 02:14:15.560 that type of thing. That'll be the way that they 2142 02:14:15.840 --> 02:14:20.760 incentivize it. They also singled out Texas Homeschool Coalition, the 2143 02:14:20.840 --> 02:14:23.800 only major state association backing government funding for home education. 2144 02:14:23.920 --> 02:14:27.119 They singled them out for special criticism. They said, government strings, 2145 02:14:27.920 --> 02:14:32.760 testing state approved curriculum, et cetera, are the opposite of winning, 2146 02:14:34.079 --> 02:14:36.239 the opposite of winning, and all this stuff is going 2147 02:14:36.279 --> 02:14:38.439 to still be there with the Department of Education. Everybody's 2148 02:14:38.439 --> 02:14:40.840 gonna say, look at that Trump got rid of the 2149 02:14:40.840 --> 02:14:42.840 Department of Education. Well, of course he put the woman 2150 02:14:42.880 --> 02:14:45.600 who was in charge of professional wrestling, and this getting 2151 02:14:45.720 --> 02:14:48.960 rid of the Department of Education is as phony as 2152 02:14:49.039 --> 02:14:52.720 professional wrestling. That's probably why he got Linda McMahon in there. 2153 02:14:53.640 --> 02:14:56.279 They're close to one hundred bills in twenty nine states 2154 02:14:56.319 --> 02:14:58.760 so far this year that would create, expand, revise, or 2155 02:14:58.840 --> 02:15:03.319 change school choice. P You see, homeschooling is exploding, and 2156 02:15:03.399 --> 02:15:08.640 so are the bills to undermine it, to subvert it. 2157 02:15:09.239 --> 02:15:12.199 One hundred bills in twenty nine states to take over 2158 02:15:12.239 --> 02:15:19.119 homeschooling by financial means, that's what this is truly about. Well, 2159 02:15:19.199 --> 02:15:23.960 Yenesco is encouraging governments everywhere, says Alex Newman, to offer 2160 02:15:24.039 --> 02:15:28.119 tax funding to non state education providers with government money 2161 02:15:28.159 --> 02:15:34.439 comes government control, Conservatives instinctively understood, says Alex Newman. The 2162 02:15:34.640 --> 02:15:40.199 universal healthcare, hillary Care, the universal basic income were dangerous 2163 02:15:40.199 --> 02:15:43.399 as well. Yet when it comes to universal government funding 2164 02:15:43.399 --> 02:15:46.199 for education, there has been a shocking degree of naivete 2165 02:15:46.239 --> 02:15:58.960 among Republicans and others. Now Here in Tennessee. I'm kind 2166 02:15:59.000 --> 02:16:05.159 of a related issue that tranny shooter who went into 2167 02:16:05.239 --> 02:16:08.079 that Christian school in Nashville and shot some nine year 2168 02:16:08.079 --> 02:16:10.760 old's point blank in the face, looked him in the 2169 02:16:10.760 --> 02:16:14.520 face and shot him. There's now a Tennessee bill but 2170 02:16:14.640 --> 02:16:19.640 passed with a large margin, requiring autopsies for mass shooters 2171 02:16:19.680 --> 02:16:24.560 to search for psychiatric drug links. This, I think is 2172 02:16:24.720 --> 02:16:28.520 very important. We've been saying for the longest time that 2173 02:16:29.039 --> 02:16:35.120 SSRIs are frequently murder suicide pills if the dosage is 2174 02:16:35.159 --> 02:16:37.440 bothering somebody, there have because it creates a lot of 2175 02:16:37.479 --> 02:16:40.600 side effects. And if people decide they're just going to 2176 02:16:40.639 --> 02:16:43.479 go off the meds or radically change the dosage, because 2177 02:16:43.559 --> 02:16:48.120 it's like the lady that I interviewed her husband, he 2178 02:16:48.159 --> 02:16:51.680 said it was setting his body on fire. You stopped 2179 02:16:51.680 --> 02:16:57.280 this stuff, and then you have really bad psychiatric results 2180 02:16:57.280 --> 02:16:59.680 from this, And so they want to do an autopsy 2181 02:16:59.760 --> 02:17:02.280 when somebody does a mass shooting. This is way overdue. 2182 02:17:02.440 --> 02:17:05.520 This is coming, by the way, from the state level. 2183 02:17:05.760 --> 02:17:09.799 Notice again, just like floridation, just like so many things, 2184 02:17:10.479 --> 02:17:13.239 you can do something about this at the state level. 2185 02:17:13.360 --> 02:17:15.200 It's not going to happen at the federal level. 2186 02:17:16.559 --> 02:17:16.719 Yeah. 2187 02:17:16.920 --> 02:17:19.760 RFK Junior has talked about this when he was running. 2188 02:17:20.000 --> 02:17:22.280 Has he done anything about it? Now He's focused on 2189 02:17:22.920 --> 02:17:27.399 high fruit toast corner syrup. He hasn't done anything about this. 2190 02:17:28.600 --> 02:17:30.799 It's going to be much easier to get this done 2191 02:17:31.120 --> 02:17:34.120 at a state level. Legislation passing Tennessee April the tenth, 2192 02:17:34.239 --> 02:17:38.120 last Thursday, requiring autopsies for mass shooters for the purpose 2193 02:17:38.120 --> 02:17:43.879 of identifying links to psychiatric drugs. The bill would require 2194 02:17:44.319 --> 02:17:48.399 the Medical Examiner's Office to ascertain and document current drug use, 2195 02:17:49.000 --> 02:17:53.399 including psychotropic drugs, by a deceased individual who committed a 2196 02:17:53.399 --> 02:17:57.200 mass shooting, and directs University of Tennessee's Health Science Center 2197 02:17:57.239 --> 02:18:00.760 to study drug interactions between the psychotropic drug rugs and 2198 02:18:00.840 --> 02:18:04.799 any other drugs present in the deceased individual's system. And 2199 02:18:04.879 --> 02:18:07.760 it requires the Department of Health to disclose the psychotropic 2200 02:18:07.840 --> 02:18:11.200 drug use of the individual to the public upon request, 2201 02:18:12.120 --> 02:18:15.719 because they really stonewalled all this information about this tranny 2202 02:18:15.840 --> 02:18:19.319 killer in Nashville. And so you're going to put that 2203 02:18:19.360 --> 02:18:22.159 information out there. You've got to do the analysis. You're 2204 02:18:22.159 --> 02:18:24.760 going to tell people if they were on some of 2205 02:18:24.799 --> 02:18:28.840 these psychotropic drugs like SSRIs that are known to create 2206 02:18:28.879 --> 02:18:31.959 murder suits side people don't know what they're doing and 2207 02:18:32.959 --> 02:18:35.000 any other drugs that would be there and what kind 2208 02:18:35.040 --> 02:18:37.319 of interactions they have, and they have to tell the public. 2209 02:18:37.440 --> 02:18:40.440 And this passed by wide margin in the House. It 2210 02:18:40.520 --> 02:18:43.200 was seventy six to twenty, in the Senate twenty seven 2211 02:18:43.239 --> 02:18:43.680 to five. 2212 02:18:45.280 --> 02:18:45.600 And so. 2213 02:18:48.040 --> 02:18:52.319 It is really this tranny killer, twenty eight year old 2214 02:18:52.319 --> 02:18:55.399 training killer who kill those kids in the Christian school, 2215 02:18:56.120 --> 02:19:00.360 that is pushing this forward. The report said, despite the 2216 02:19:00.399 --> 02:19:05.719 ongoing therapy and medication regimes, this training killer's anxiety, depression, 2217 02:19:05.840 --> 02:19:10.520 and rage only escalated. Oh really, you mean the pharmaceutical 2218 02:19:10.600 --> 02:19:13.280 drugs that you gave her for this only made it 2219 02:19:13.319 --> 02:19:16.879 all worse. Yes, which is what we see over and 2220 02:19:16.879 --> 02:19:21.040 over again. She commented and how she felt she was 2221 02:19:21.079 --> 02:19:25.760 being swallowed by despair and even created drawings documenting how 2222 02:19:25.799 --> 02:19:31.280 her assorted mental health conditions were affecting her mind. She 2223 02:19:31.360 --> 02:19:35.159 had issues to start with, and then the drugs exacerbated it. 2224 02:19:36.040 --> 02:19:46.479 We've seen that over and over again. Joining us now 2225 02:19:46.559 --> 02:19:48.280 is Jay Warner Wallace. As I said, I've talked to 2226 02:19:48.360 --> 02:19:50.120 him a couple of times before about his book called 2227 02:19:50.239 --> 02:19:55.319 Case Christianity, and he's got a new book that is 2228 02:19:55.319 --> 02:19:58.120 put out in a very different way, and I really 2229 02:19:58.239 --> 02:20:01.200 like this. It's a to show you the cover here 2230 02:20:01.360 --> 02:20:05.680 of it. It is a graphic novel. So there's the 2231 02:20:05.920 --> 02:20:08.959 suspense broken right there. I gave away the secret. I 2232 02:20:08.959 --> 02:20:11.479 thank you for joining us, mister Wallis, thank you so much, 2233 02:20:11.840 --> 02:20:17.000 appreciate it. Tell us little to take. Yeah, that's right. 2234 02:20:17.040 --> 02:20:18.840 Tell us a little bit about this and why you 2235 02:20:18.920 --> 02:20:20.920 did this, and of course you did this in conjunction 2236 02:20:21.239 --> 02:20:24.399 with your son. It's really perfectionally done. We've got some 2237 02:20:24.520 --> 02:20:27.520 images of it that we can show. But it's an 2238 02:20:27.600 --> 02:20:30.639 amazing book and it's a kind of a fun way 2239 02:20:30.760 --> 02:20:33.639 to get the point across that you've made in some 2240 02:20:33.680 --> 02:20:34.559 of your other books before. 2241 02:20:34.600 --> 02:20:35.600 Tell us a little bit about it. 2242 02:20:36.040 --> 02:20:37.920 Yeah, yeah, I think most of my other all my 2243 02:20:37.959 --> 02:20:41.399 other books are nonfiction books that make a case for Christianity, 2244 02:20:41.440 --> 02:20:45.440 either for its truthfulness or for its goodness. And usefulness. 2245 02:20:45.600 --> 02:20:47.120 So those are books that we kind of just make 2246 02:20:47.159 --> 02:20:49.399 us a straight case. But I think there's a lot 2247 02:20:49.399 --> 02:20:53.760 of folks who are moved more by fiction. And my 2248 02:20:53.799 --> 02:20:55.920 son always thinks this too, because we know that we 2249 02:20:55.959 --> 02:20:58.680 can make a case for something and you may agree 2250 02:20:58.719 --> 02:21:01.479 with that case can also take you on a journey, 2251 02:21:01.799 --> 02:21:04.079 and if you are part of the journey, you end 2252 02:21:04.159 --> 02:21:06.319 up living the case. And so this is a graphic 2253 02:21:06.399 --> 02:21:09.000 novel that is a fictional work about a team of 2254 02:21:09.040 --> 02:21:12.360 detectives that are trying to catch a serial killer in 2255 02:21:12.399 --> 02:21:15.040 Los Angeles County. You know, we applied all of our 2256 02:21:15.079 --> 02:21:17.600 experience in the county, So this is going to feel, 2257 02:21:17.600 --> 02:21:20.079 I think, pretty realistic. If you're a police officer, detective, 2258 02:21:20.120 --> 02:21:21.920 you're going to read this and think, oh, yeah, that's 2259 02:21:21.920 --> 02:21:24.280 pretty much how we do it. But I also think 2260 02:21:24.280 --> 02:21:27.079 what we're trying to do is to tell a better story. 2261 02:21:27.239 --> 02:21:29.680 To tell it, We're going to explore an issue that 2262 02:21:29.760 --> 02:21:32.559 most people struggle with, and that is how do we 2263 02:21:32.600 --> 02:21:36.559 ground human value, meaning and purpose. I think that most 2264 02:21:36.559 --> 02:21:38.920 of us take our identity for granted and then at 2265 02:21:38.920 --> 02:21:41.360 some point we struggle because we're trying to figure out like, 2266 02:21:41.399 --> 02:21:44.239 who are we really and if you'll notice. And if 2267 02:21:44.280 --> 02:21:47.319 you've seen like today in America, there'll be a number 2268 02:21:47.360 --> 02:21:50.959 of homicides. It's just the sad truth. Now, most of 2269 02:21:50.959 --> 02:21:52.760 those you're not going to know anything about because they're 2270 02:21:52.799 --> 02:21:55.079 never going to make the press. But if a celebrity 2271 02:21:55.120 --> 02:21:57.440 gets murdered, well, now that's going to make the news 2272 02:21:57.680 --> 02:22:01.239 and suddenly it'll be a national or international item. Well, 2273 02:22:01.280 --> 02:22:04.159 why do we think that celebrities somehow are more valuable 2274 02:22:04.159 --> 02:22:07.600 than other victims? We kind of act as though they are. 2275 02:22:07.639 --> 02:22:11.200 So how are we grounding human value? What makes one 2276 02:22:11.319 --> 02:22:16.120 person newsworthy and somebody else not. We think from a 2277 02:22:16.200 --> 02:22:18.799 Christian worldview that every life has value, but how do 2278 02:22:18.840 --> 02:22:21.479 we ground it? So what we have here is this 2279 02:22:21.559 --> 02:22:24.680 is not a Pollyannish kind of Christian story where everyone's 2280 02:22:24.719 --> 02:22:27.200 going to get saved in the last chapter. And this 2281 02:22:27.239 --> 02:22:31.319 is a realistic, gritty novel that's a large comic book. 2282 02:22:31.360 --> 02:22:33.159 Because it's a graphic novel. It's kind of like you're 2283 02:22:33.200 --> 02:22:37.479 watching a story boarded movie involving people who are struggling 2284 02:22:37.520 --> 02:22:40.559 to understand who they are as they chase a serial 2285 02:22:40.680 --> 02:22:45.079 killer who is upping the ante every time he kills somebody. 2286 02:22:45.440 --> 02:22:49.879 This victim is of increasing cultural value. And what we're 2287 02:22:49.920 --> 02:22:53.159 trying to do is challenge the notion that people actually 2288 02:22:53.239 --> 02:22:56.680 are of increasing value. We think that we want to 2289 02:22:56.719 --> 02:22:58.920 be able to ground our identity and our value in 2290 02:22:59.040 --> 02:23:01.159 something that's transcend that. And so we're going to make 2291 02:23:01.159 --> 02:23:02.840 a case for this, but we're going to do it 2292 02:23:02.879 --> 02:23:04.840 without kind of beating you over the head. 2293 02:23:05.120 --> 02:23:05.639 That's great. 2294 02:23:05.840 --> 02:23:11.520 You know, many times I've heard people talk about animal sacrifice, 2295 02:23:11.559 --> 02:23:13.000 you know, and one of the first things we see 2296 02:23:13.000 --> 02:23:16.719 after the Garden of Eden is that God gives skins 2297 02:23:16.760 --> 02:23:19.680 to Adam and Eve to cover up their nakedness right 2298 02:23:19.840 --> 02:23:22.079 cover up there now that. 2299 02:23:21.959 --> 02:23:24.840 They're aware of what is going on. 2300 02:23:24.920 --> 02:23:27.399 But he has to kill an animal in order to 2301 02:23:27.399 --> 02:23:30.559 make that. And so, you know, it's a consistent principle 2302 02:23:30.600 --> 02:23:32.959 throughout Christianity that without the shedding of blood, there's no 2303 02:23:33.000 --> 02:23:36.040 forgiveness of sin, right, And so a big part of 2304 02:23:36.079 --> 02:23:41.840 that is that people understand the seriousness of sin because 2305 02:23:41.920 --> 02:23:44.399 they see when even you talk about the difference in 2306 02:23:44.479 --> 02:23:48.479 human life, even when we see a dead animal, we 2307 02:23:48.639 --> 02:23:50.920 kind of stop for a moment. If we see a 2308 02:23:50.920 --> 02:23:54.559 broken branch or a tree or whatever, some plant that's 2309 02:23:55.079 --> 02:23:58.520 been chopped, you don't necessarily think anything about it. But 2310 02:23:58.600 --> 02:24:01.280 if you see an animal that's been chopped up, yeah, yeah, 2311 02:24:01.319 --> 02:24:05.680 blood all over the device, even that will make an 2312 02:24:05.680 --> 02:24:08.680 impact on you, let alone a human life. And if 2313 02:24:08.719 --> 02:24:10.760 you point out all human life is valuable, it's not 2314 02:24:10.879 --> 02:24:14.879 just celebrities, but it's again, it's like all life is valuable. 2315 02:24:14.920 --> 02:24:18.639 The life is in the blood, and that is a 2316 02:24:18.680 --> 02:24:20.840 real I think it's a lesson that God was trying 2317 02:24:20.879 --> 02:24:24.840 to give us to drive home just how serious rebellion 2318 02:24:25.079 --> 02:24:25.680 to him is. 2319 02:24:26.399 --> 02:24:29.079 Yeah, I think, as my son likes to point out. 2320 02:24:29.120 --> 02:24:32.319 You know, as police officers, we have certain limitations because 2321 02:24:32.360 --> 02:24:34.920 there are rights that humans have. So for example, I 2322 02:24:34.959 --> 02:24:37.520 can't just kick down your door and enter your house 2323 02:24:37.559 --> 02:24:39.799 without a warrant, without a reason to do it. But 2324 02:24:39.920 --> 02:24:42.200 on the other hand, if someone is screaming in your 2325 02:24:42.200 --> 02:24:45.360 house that they are they're being murdered, they're being killed, well, 2326 02:24:45.360 --> 02:24:47.760 now I can kick down the door to save that 2327 02:24:47.879 --> 02:24:50.840 person's life. We actually think that's the value of life 2328 02:24:50.959 --> 02:24:53.920 legally is more important than even some rights that you 2329 02:24:54.079 --> 02:24:58.959 have to privacy. We recognize as police officers that humans 2330 02:24:59.559 --> 02:25:01.760 human life, life is important. Now what I see in 2331 02:25:01.799 --> 02:25:04.440 culture is that you're right. What we have a tendency 2332 02:25:04.479 --> 02:25:06.360 to do. Is the secular world just sees us as 2333 02:25:06.360 --> 02:25:10.000 another evolved creature, another animal, like all the other animals. 2334 02:25:10.079 --> 02:25:13.159 And what you see happening is that typically other animals 2335 02:25:13.159 --> 02:25:16.159 are now being afforded the same dignities that we would 2336 02:25:16.159 --> 02:25:19.040 have in the past only have afforded humans. They're in 2337 02:25:19.040 --> 02:25:22.399 our restaurants, they're on the plane with you, they're everywhere, 2338 02:25:22.479 --> 02:25:26.239 and they're there because we have minimized the difference between 2339 02:25:26.440 --> 02:25:29.399 humans and other animals. Now here's what's interesting. You know, 2340 02:25:29.440 --> 02:25:32.399 from scripture, if scripture is true, we are unique in 2341 02:25:32.440 --> 02:25:34.879 the sense that we are image bearers. We bear the 2342 02:25:34.920 --> 02:25:38.280 image of God. And the first thing that God does 2343 02:25:38.399 --> 02:25:42.200 when he gives us the identity, he creates Adam in 2344 02:25:42.280 --> 02:25:46.399 his image, and then he gives Adam a name, an identity. 2345 02:25:46.440 --> 02:25:49.079 And the first thing he asks Adam to do is 2346 02:25:49.120 --> 02:25:52.399 to then turn and give an identity to all the 2347 02:25:52.559 --> 02:25:55.600 other animals. You know, the Christian story is an identity 2348 02:25:55.639 --> 02:25:57.520 story from the Old Testament all the way through the 2349 02:25:57.559 --> 02:26:01.399 New Testament. And so this is anything we wanted to explore. Now, look, 2350 02:26:01.440 --> 02:26:04.479 I could easily make that case on paper and make 2351 02:26:04.520 --> 02:26:06.040 it the way I just made it to you or 2352 02:26:06.760 --> 02:26:09.120 I can tell you a story that we hope is 2353 02:26:09.159 --> 02:26:11.719 so engaging that by the time you're done with it, 2354 02:26:11.760 --> 02:26:13.799 you'll get this principle. Even though in this story, I 2355 02:26:13.799 --> 02:26:15.479 think if you were to read this book, you're going 2356 02:26:15.520 --> 02:26:17.639 to get halfway through it before you even think to yourself, 2357 02:26:17.719 --> 02:26:19.920 is this a Christian book? Because what we want to 2358 02:26:19.959 --> 02:26:23.280 do is we want to reach people with truth. And 2359 02:26:23.360 --> 02:26:26.079 God's truth is everyone's truth. You're stuck with it, whether 2360 02:26:26.079 --> 02:26:27.920 you're a Christian or not. If it's true, it's true 2361 02:26:27.959 --> 02:26:30.159 for everyone. So we thought we could write a book 2362 02:26:30.399 --> 02:26:33.120 in which we could make a case that even your 2363 02:26:33.360 --> 02:26:36.879 unbelieving friends could read and not feel like, oh, this 2364 02:26:37.000 --> 02:26:39.440 is so preachy. You know, this is no. It turns 2365 02:26:39.440 --> 02:26:42.479 out it's just describing the world the way it really is. 2366 02:26:42.959 --> 02:26:45.600 And this is what scripture does. It describes the world, 2367 02:26:46.000 --> 02:26:49.040 and it describes us the way we really are. So 2368 02:26:49.079 --> 02:26:52.360 you'll see that these characters, there's only one Christian character 2369 02:26:52.360 --> 02:26:54.600 in the entire book, and he's treated, for the most 2370 02:26:54.600 --> 02:26:58.159 part the way that as a non believing cop I 2371 02:26:58.280 --> 02:27:03.239 treated most Christian cops, which I kind of marginalized them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 2372 02:27:03.319 --> 02:27:06.120 here comes to Christian view. Okay, great, and you'll see 2373 02:27:06.120 --> 02:27:08.000 this is probably true in many of the people who 2374 02:27:08.040 --> 02:27:09.399 read this book are going to say, but you know 2375 02:27:09.520 --> 02:27:12.559 this is true in my world too. My non Christian 2376 02:27:12.559 --> 02:27:15.040 friends don't really you know, take my what I say 2377 02:27:15.079 --> 02:27:18.440 seriously about this. So we wanted to create a narrative 2378 02:27:19.079 --> 02:27:22.040 that was very that depicts reality the way it is 2379 02:27:22.079 --> 02:27:23.520 for a lot of the readers. If we're going to 2380 02:27:23.520 --> 02:27:25.239 read this, they're going to You're going to recognize your 2381 02:27:25.239 --> 02:27:28.040 own struggles trying to tell people about Jesus, trying to 2382 02:27:28.040 --> 02:27:30.639 tell people about what's true. And so this is a 2383 02:27:30.639 --> 02:27:33.879 book that may not land. Every plane may not land 2384 02:27:33.959 --> 02:27:37.040 safely at the end of the runway, because life is 2385 02:27:37.079 --> 02:27:39.520 that way. It's you can share. I've got a father 2386 02:27:39.840 --> 02:27:43.440 who's a cop, who's a detective, who's now retired, of course, 2387 02:27:43.840 --> 02:27:46.920 and he's you know, eighty five, and he is he 2388 02:27:47.040 --> 02:27:50.680 is not interested in hearing about the Gospel. And as 2389 02:27:50.959 --> 02:27:54.000 many years as I've spent trying to help him see 2390 02:27:54.000 --> 02:27:56.200 it from the same perspective that I take as a detective, 2391 02:27:57.120 --> 02:28:00.600 he has got he is willfully rejecting anything that I 2392 02:28:00.680 --> 02:28:03.280 tell him. Well, you probably have someone in your life 2393 02:28:03.280 --> 02:28:05.360 like that too, if you're aware of this book, So 2394 02:28:05.399 --> 02:28:07.799 we want to have a book that reflects that reality 2395 02:28:07.840 --> 02:28:08.200 as well. 2396 02:28:08.719 --> 02:28:11.760 Well, you know what I said earlier about just the 2397 02:28:11.799 --> 02:28:15.159 specialty of what is special about life in general, and 2398 02:28:15.200 --> 02:28:17.120 you're right, you know, we're in creating the image of 2399 02:28:17.120 --> 02:28:19.559 God and there's a huge difference between us and the animals. 2400 02:28:19.600 --> 02:28:22.559 And one of the things that we are seeing now 2401 02:28:22.879 --> 02:28:26.600 we talk about the dignity of human life, one of 2402 02:28:26.639 --> 02:28:30.479 the things that we really have to be aware of 2403 02:28:30.920 --> 02:28:34.040 the push that is coming against that, and we're seeing 2404 02:28:34.040 --> 02:28:36.479 it across the board. It goes back to B. F. 2405 02:28:36.520 --> 02:28:38.760 Skin and other people talking about, you know, beyond freedom 2406 02:28:38.799 --> 02:28:41.680 and dignity, they're just going to treat human beings like animals. 2407 02:28:41.680 --> 02:28:46.040 And we see it more in the more contemporary writings 2408 02:28:46.079 --> 02:28:49.600 of people like Juvil Harari just saying well, you know, 2409 02:28:49.600 --> 02:28:51.079 we're going to take away You're not going to have 2410 02:28:51.079 --> 02:28:54.280 any freedom or dignity. We're just going to control you 2411 02:28:54.479 --> 02:28:56.959 as as we would an animal. And so I think 2412 02:28:57.000 --> 02:29:00.360 that's a really important theme to drive home, and it's 2413 02:29:00.399 --> 02:29:02.719 a great way to do it in a detective novel, 2414 02:29:02.959 --> 02:29:07.159 especially because everybody loves detective novels. They love, you know, 2415 02:29:07.840 --> 02:29:09.840 forensic novels and all the rest of this stuff I 2416 02:29:09.840 --> 02:29:14.239 mean is it's always captured the human imagination because it 2417 02:29:14.319 --> 02:29:17.120 is about life and death, and it is also about 2418 02:29:17.120 --> 02:29:18.200 a mystery and a puzzle, is. 2419 02:29:18.200 --> 02:29:21.719 It, Yeah, it is, and this form of novels. I 2420 02:29:21.760 --> 02:29:23.959 always wanted to write fiction, and I realized that there's 2421 02:29:23.959 --> 02:29:26.559 a difference between writting fiction and writing nonfiction. Okay, there's 2422 02:29:26.600 --> 02:29:29.520 definitely a different skill set. My son is an avid 2423 02:29:29.559 --> 02:29:31.520 growing up. He's now thirty six, he's been on the 2424 02:29:31.559 --> 02:29:35.040 job thirteen years. He's you know, he's always an avid 2425 02:29:35.120 --> 02:29:37.719 comic book reader. And I think if you are an 2426 02:29:37.799 --> 02:29:41.680 avid reader in a particular genre, well then you have 2427 02:29:41.719 --> 02:29:44.559 a better shot at writing something in that genre. So 2428 02:29:44.559 --> 02:29:46.920 so he this is we had to contribute was basically 2429 02:29:47.000 --> 02:29:53.200 a script. It's like a movie script. You know, say 2430 02:29:53.200 --> 02:29:56.319 a page one, he's going to have, you know, five panels. 2431 02:29:56.440 --> 02:29:58.040 These panels are going to hit to be these scenes, 2432 02:29:58.079 --> 02:30:00.040 these dialogue, this action. Then we give it to a 2433 02:30:00.360 --> 02:30:04.040 group of illustrators that are really gifted illustrators at the 2434 02:30:04.040 --> 02:30:08.159 sing illustrators that created that are chosen graphic novel so 2435 02:30:08.200 --> 02:30:11.159 they're very gifted, and they basically do all the rest 2436 02:30:11.200 --> 02:30:13.920 of the heavy lifting. If people like this book, and 2437 02:30:13.959 --> 02:30:16.799 I hope they do. It's largely because it was illustrated 2438 02:30:16.879 --> 02:30:20.680 so magnificently. I mean we first got it back and 2439 02:30:20.760 --> 02:30:24.600 we're watching House developing big characters. Yeah, I mean you 2440 02:30:24.799 --> 02:30:27.280 see the character development. I'm like, wow, you know, that's 2441 02:30:27.319 --> 02:30:30.520 actually better than I had imagined. You know. So I 2442 02:30:30.520 --> 02:30:36.239 think that this partnership between writers and creative artists had 2443 02:30:36.319 --> 02:30:37.120 been really helpful. 2444 02:30:37.440 --> 02:30:39.479 Yeah, yeah, we got a clip up there now a 2445 02:30:39.520 --> 02:30:42.079 couple of these different things. And I love the graphic 2446 02:30:42.120 --> 02:30:44.600 novels and the comic books, and of course I learned 2447 02:30:44.639 --> 02:30:47.520 how to read with comic books. My mom would take 2448 02:30:47.559 --> 02:30:50.760 me in tow before I started school. And this is 2449 02:30:50.799 --> 02:30:52.719 back in the silver Age of comics when they were 2450 02:30:52.760 --> 02:30:55.319 a lot safer than they are now. Yes, yes, they've 2451 02:30:55.360 --> 02:31:00.000 got kind of they've pandered to adult or to college gets, 2452 02:31:00.120 --> 02:31:02.040 I should say, in terms of what they got, but 2453 02:31:02.079 --> 02:31:05.559 they were pretty safe back in the late nineteen fifties 2454 02:31:05.600 --> 02:31:08.440 and stuff. And it was great because, like you point out, 2455 02:31:08.479 --> 02:31:11.440 it is like a storyboard to a film. 2456 02:31:11.920 --> 02:31:12.680 And you know, I. 2457 02:31:12.639 --> 02:31:15.079 Wonder well about that is that my son will say 2458 02:31:15.079 --> 02:31:17.520 this because he found my brother in law's old comic 2459 02:31:17.559 --> 02:31:20.680 book collection from the early nineteen sixties, and you're absolutely right. 2460 02:31:20.719 --> 02:31:25.079 There was far less objectionable material in those old comic books. 2461 02:31:25.079 --> 02:31:26.799 And what he told me is growing up as a 2462 02:31:26.840 --> 02:31:29.959 young Christian. He got his, of course, of marching orders 2463 02:31:29.959 --> 02:31:32.799 from scripture, but he found that a lot of his 2464 02:31:33.000 --> 02:31:37.319 character development came from these comic books, especially Spider Man. 2465 02:31:37.360 --> 02:31:39.440 You know, this kid who's got to save the world, 2466 02:31:39.440 --> 02:31:41.399 but he's going to a chance to go on this date. 2467 02:31:41.440 --> 02:31:43.200 And of course, as soon as he gets to the 2468 02:31:43.200 --> 02:31:45.799 point of taking the girl out, this is when doctor 2469 02:31:45.799 --> 02:31:47.920 oct puts you attacks and he's got to change. And 2470 02:31:48.159 --> 02:31:50.760 you know, I've got to act sacrificially. I want to 2471 02:31:50.799 --> 02:31:53.520 do this thing, but I need to do that thing. Well, 2472 02:31:53.600 --> 02:31:56.399 I thought, really, so you were telling me that some 2473 02:31:56.479 --> 02:32:01.079 of your character was developed through comic books, that this 2474 02:32:01.120 --> 02:32:02.920 is probably true for a lot of our young people. 2475 02:32:03.040 --> 02:32:06.760 Then issues that are sold to them under the rules 2476 02:32:06.799 --> 02:32:10.879 of fiction become the kinds of things that develop people's character. 2477 02:32:10.920 --> 02:32:14.879 That's why we as Christians need to be in this space, 2478 02:32:15.639 --> 02:32:18.280 because you're right, it's happening. If you're reading comics or 2479 02:32:18.319 --> 02:32:20.600 graphic novels today, you're going to have to turn the 2480 02:32:20.680 --> 02:32:24.399 blind eye to a lot of offensive non Christian material, Yes, 2481 02:32:24.479 --> 02:32:29.440 but can we do a story that's every bit is gripping, entertaining, gritty, 2482 02:32:29.959 --> 02:32:33.920 but also teaches a Christian worldview so that when character 2483 02:32:33.959 --> 02:32:36.920 development is actually going to occur naturally as you're reading fiction, 2484 02:32:37.479 --> 02:32:39.879 it's the kind of character that's also consistent with the 2485 02:32:39.920 --> 02:32:42.280 teaching of scripture. That's what we're trying to do with 2486 02:32:42.360 --> 02:32:43.159 this kind of a book. 2487 02:32:43.399 --> 02:32:43.760 That's great. 2488 02:32:43.799 --> 02:32:45.440 Yeah, when we go back and you look at it's like, 2489 02:32:45.559 --> 02:32:50.959 you know, comparing a contemporary movie, comic books of today, 2490 02:32:51.200 --> 02:32:53.280 in graphic novels of today versus the stuff back with 2491 02:32:53.280 --> 02:32:53.840 the fifties. 2492 02:32:53.920 --> 02:32:55.239 It's like a. 2493 02:32:54.799 --> 02:32:59.559 Disney movie about Baby Crockett or something, you know, versus 2494 02:33:00.799 --> 02:33:05.000 movies that focus on a psychotic joker character, you know 2495 02:33:05.120 --> 02:33:07.639 from Batman. Is Now the villains have become the heroes 2496 02:33:07.680 --> 02:33:10.760 of these things and they've become really, really rough. As 2497 02:33:10.799 --> 02:33:14.399 you point out, when I was a kid, the characters 2498 02:33:14.680 --> 02:33:16.959 would and there was a reason for that. When they 2499 02:33:17.000 --> 02:33:20.200 first started out, they were pretty rough, just like films. 2500 02:33:20.239 --> 02:33:22.079 And just like they had the Hayes code for movies, 2501 02:33:22.360 --> 02:33:24.280 they also came up with a comic book code, and 2502 02:33:24.280 --> 02:33:26.879 they said, if you're going to target kids, with this stuff, 2503 02:33:27.520 --> 02:33:30.639 then you're going to follow certain rules, and so it 2504 02:33:30.719 --> 02:33:33.159 was kind of quasi mandated that they would have to 2505 02:33:33.200 --> 02:33:37.200 follow those rules. And the characters were really straight up 2506 02:33:38.040 --> 02:33:41.559 and they were good and they were honorable characters. My 2507 02:33:41.639 --> 02:33:43.680 son Travis is working a board here. I used to 2508 02:33:43.719 --> 02:33:47.639 read him novels from G. A. Hinty And in those novels, 2509 02:33:47.719 --> 02:33:51.040 even the villains, the villains were better than our heroes today. 2510 02:33:51.079 --> 02:33:54.639 And I'm not joking, you know, they had better, higher ideals, 2511 02:33:54.719 --> 02:33:58.239 and they treated people better than the heroes treat people 2512 02:33:58.239 --> 02:34:02.520 today in our movies and fiction. So those things were 2513 02:34:02.520 --> 02:34:04.520 there as a matter of fact, that have the always 2514 02:34:04.520 --> 02:34:06.000 have the saint look like a stamp, and I never 2515 02:34:06.079 --> 02:34:07.760 knew what that was when I was a kid. That 2516 02:34:07.840 --> 02:34:10.360 was up on the cover of the thing, and that 2517 02:34:10.479 --> 02:34:13.000 was saying that it had been certified and was with 2518 02:34:13.040 --> 02:34:14.760 the comic book code. And it's one of the reasons 2519 02:34:14.799 --> 02:34:19.360 why Mad called itself a magazine because they didn't follow 2520 02:34:19.399 --> 02:34:22.239 that code. They were really sorry. It wasn't anything that 2521 02:34:22.319 --> 02:34:25.040 was sexual or violent or anything like it is and 2522 02:34:25.120 --> 02:34:31.040 the graphic novels today. But it was sarcastic, a lot 2523 02:34:31.079 --> 02:34:33.159 of satire and everything like that. And so they were 2524 02:34:33.239 --> 02:34:35.520 proud of the fact that they did not adhere to 2525 02:34:35.559 --> 02:34:38.040 the code. And so I think the code was basically, 2526 02:34:38.120 --> 02:34:41.920 you're going to present a good moral character in our society. 2527 02:34:41.959 --> 02:34:44.399 At that point in time, Christianity had a lot of 2528 02:34:44.559 --> 02:34:47.680 influence on that. And really, even if these people were 2529 02:34:47.680 --> 02:34:51.680 not Christian, it was the Christian influence that was influencing 2530 02:34:51.719 --> 02:34:54.000 the art and the culture. And you're right, we do 2531 02:34:54.079 --> 02:34:56.559 need to take that back well and think about this. 2532 02:34:56.840 --> 02:34:59.639 The Christian theology tells us that there's an enigma of 2533 02:34:59.719 --> 02:35:03.120 man that we are duplicit. We have the capacity for 2534 02:35:03.440 --> 02:35:06.840 unbelievable altruism and goodness because we have been created in 2535 02:35:06.879 --> 02:35:10.440 the image of God, but we also are deeply rebellious 2536 02:35:10.440 --> 02:35:14.600 and have inherited that simple condition from Adam. So that's 2537 02:35:14.600 --> 02:35:16.799 why we are these duplicit kind of beings. Now, what's 2538 02:35:16.799 --> 02:35:20.479 interesting is we went from a point in history where 2539 02:35:20.520 --> 02:35:23.959 we would rather we preferred to write about what we 2540 02:35:24.239 --> 02:35:28.200 could be than what we really are. Now we've shifted, 2541 02:35:28.680 --> 02:35:31.959 and yeah, it's true that we are duplicit. We are 2542 02:35:32.520 --> 02:35:36.479 we have a capacity for both greatness and evil, but 2543 02:35:36.559 --> 02:35:40.159 we want to focus on the greatness. We want to say, hey, 2544 02:35:40.239 --> 02:35:43.159 this is the ideal we ought to aspire to. But 2545 02:35:43.360 --> 02:35:45.239 I think what we're seeing right now, especially in comics, 2546 02:35:45.440 --> 02:35:48.239 is that we're instead we're just just sketching out the 2547 02:35:48.280 --> 02:35:51.280 characters as they really are, as dark as their nature 2548 02:35:51.319 --> 02:35:53.879 can also be. Well, I get it. You're going to 2549 02:35:53.879 --> 02:35:55.879 see in this book that we've been very realistic with 2550 02:35:55.920 --> 02:35:58.040 all the detectives and they have a dark side. Okay, 2551 02:35:58.440 --> 02:36:01.159 but we want to aim at thing. And you know 2552 02:36:01.200 --> 02:36:02.639 that old saying that if you aim at nothing, you 2553 02:36:02.680 --> 02:36:05.319 hit it every time. That's exactly right. So we have 2554 02:36:05.440 --> 02:36:08.799 to write in stories. I think that aim at something 2555 02:36:08.879 --> 02:36:11.639 that is good. There ought to be some example in 2556 02:36:11.719 --> 02:36:16.120 the book that is not trite and trivialized and stereotypes, 2557 02:36:16.399 --> 02:36:19.840 but offers a solution to the problem that everyone else 2558 02:36:19.920 --> 02:36:22.639 is experiencing. And so hopefully, if we do this in 2559 02:36:22.680 --> 02:36:25.000 a way that is compelling, you're going to come away 2560 02:36:25.000 --> 02:36:26.319 from reading this book and you're going to have I 2561 02:36:26.319 --> 02:36:28.120 think it could for number one, if you're not a believer, 2562 02:36:28.239 --> 02:36:31.239 I hope it'll open up your thinking to the possibility 2563 02:36:31.239 --> 02:36:33.479 that Christianity has something to teach you about how to live. 2564 02:36:33.959 --> 02:36:35.399 But if you are a believer, I hope it's going 2565 02:36:35.440 --> 02:36:38.360 to give you much more confidence. And also we want 2566 02:36:38.399 --> 02:36:41.040 to have an alternative for believers who may want to 2567 02:36:41.079 --> 02:36:44.120 have some fun in this space, this true crime graphic 2568 02:36:44.159 --> 02:36:46.360 novel space, which right now, if you were to go online, 2569 02:36:46.479 --> 02:36:48.079 you're going to get a lot of stuff that you're 2570 02:36:48.079 --> 02:36:50.440 going to have to ignore some percentage of it if 2571 02:36:50.440 --> 02:36:52.639 you want to hold onto your Christian worldview. We wanted 2572 02:36:52.680 --> 02:36:53.760 something that you didn't have to do that. 2573 02:36:54.040 --> 02:36:56.280 Yeah, yeah, absolutely, right now, tell us a little bit 2574 02:36:56.280 --> 02:37:00.479 about you know, you are also encouraging with this some 2575 02:37:00.559 --> 02:37:06.159 deeper probing and some discussions about Christian worldview. Tell people 2576 02:37:06.239 --> 02:37:09.440 what you've got in association with that conversation guide that 2577 02:37:09.600 --> 02:37:10.239 is also. 2578 02:37:10.159 --> 02:37:12.200 Yeah, and I do think this is a gateway book 2579 02:37:12.239 --> 02:37:13.600 for going to be a gateway book for a lot 2580 02:37:13.600 --> 02:37:15.600 of people. So on the inside back cover, we have 2581 02:37:15.680 --> 02:37:18.079 a QR code that if you just hit that QR code, 2582 02:37:18.079 --> 02:37:21.840 it's going to open up our case closed booklet, which 2583 02:37:21.920 --> 02:37:24.440 is a Case for the Resurrection in about forty pages. 2584 02:37:24.799 --> 02:37:27.079 So it's going to take you a step further if 2585 02:37:27.079 --> 02:37:30.879 you wanted to know, for example, why this particular character 2586 02:37:31.360 --> 02:37:35.399 in our story maybe responds a little different differently to 2587 02:37:35.440 --> 02:37:38.120 the trauma. While the answer is in his Christian worldview, 2588 02:37:38.120 --> 02:37:39.760 even though we're not we're just going to hint at it. 2589 02:37:39.760 --> 02:37:41.520 We're not going to make it as like a punch 2590 02:37:41.559 --> 02:37:43.319 in the face, but we want to give you a 2591 02:37:43.399 --> 02:37:45.159 chance to go. Now, Look, if you're somebody who buys 2592 02:37:45.159 --> 02:37:47.959 a book today in our economy today, I feel like 2593 02:37:48.000 --> 02:37:50.479 it's a big ask anymore for someone who's been siwhere 2594 02:37:50.479 --> 02:37:52.639 between fifteen and twenty dollars depending on where you buy it, 2595 02:37:52.719 --> 02:37:54.799 a book like this. So what we want to do 2596 02:37:54.879 --> 02:37:58.159 is offer something that makes the price seem like it's reasonable. 2597 02:37:58.399 --> 02:38:00.239 So what we've done on our website at called case 2598 02:38:00.280 --> 02:38:03.120 Christianity dot com is anyone who buys the book, yes, 2599 02:38:03.159 --> 02:38:05.879 you have access to that digital QR code, but also 2600 02:38:05.959 --> 02:38:07.959 we want to send you a conversation guide that will 2601 02:38:08.040 --> 02:38:11.479 help you navigate the conversations that are going to flow 2602 02:38:11.559 --> 02:38:14.399 out of someone who reads this book. Also, we want 2603 02:38:14.440 --> 02:38:17.559 to give you our ten ur ten and a half 2604 02:38:17.600 --> 02:38:21.360 hour thirty session Casemaker's Course. It's the same course I 2605 02:38:21.479 --> 02:38:25.120 teach at Gateway Seminary here in southern California, and it's 2606 02:38:25.159 --> 02:38:29.639 the course that is fully robustly illustrated. It's all videos. 2607 02:38:29.680 --> 02:38:32.159 If you take this course, you will become a much 2608 02:38:32.280 --> 02:38:35.959 better Christian casemaker. So when someone does have a question 2609 02:38:36.639 --> 02:38:39.399 about the Christian worldview that maybe is prompted by a 2610 02:38:39.440 --> 02:38:42.959 book like this or anyone else's book, you'll be able 2611 02:38:43.040 --> 02:38:45.120 to kind of hold your ground, to be able to 2612 02:38:45.159 --> 02:38:48.079 make a case for why you want to hear my concern. 2613 02:38:48.600 --> 02:38:50.559 If you really want to know what it is you love, 2614 02:38:51.319 --> 02:38:54.399 what is your family loves, think about what it is 2615 02:38:54.440 --> 02:38:57.120 they're capable of defending. Because it turns out whatever it 2616 02:38:57.159 --> 02:38:59.440 is you're capable of defending, that is your real God. 2617 02:39:00.000 --> 02:39:02.399 We just came out of the football draft, from from 2618 02:39:02.479 --> 02:39:05.200 college football into the NFL, and I know people who 2619 02:39:05.239 --> 02:39:08.520 can make a robust case for why so and so 2620 02:39:08.639 --> 02:39:11.399 should have gotten drafted or didn't get drafted, or should 2621 02:39:11.440 --> 02:39:13.040 have gotten drafted in a different position. 2622 02:39:13.120 --> 02:39:15.520 Ok Oh yeah, I say that all the time. Oh yeah, 2623 02:39:15.559 --> 02:39:18.360 I kind of flipped. I say that they're all upset 2624 02:39:18.360 --> 02:39:20.479 because this guy didn't go earlier or whatever, and it's 2625 02:39:20.479 --> 02:39:21.040 like that, and. 2626 02:39:21.000 --> 02:39:23.200 There's talk shows that they all have. I mean literally, 2627 02:39:23.440 --> 02:39:25.719 I was watching on these sports channels where you might 2628 02:39:25.760 --> 02:39:30.799 have six hours today of this discussion with people debating it. Well, okay, 2629 02:39:31.159 --> 02:39:34.079 if that's you and you are better able to defend 2630 02:39:34.239 --> 02:39:37.040 your pro football team and their selections than you are 2631 02:39:37.159 --> 02:39:39.920 able to defend your God. You've kind of shown your 2632 02:39:39.920 --> 02:39:44.440 hand as to what you find worth defending. I think 2633 02:39:44.479 --> 02:39:47.000 we need to be moving to a position where we're 2634 02:39:47.000 --> 02:39:49.280 so geeked out about what we believe about God and 2635 02:39:49.319 --> 02:39:52.120 about Jesus that this is the stuff we spend our 2636 02:39:52.280 --> 02:39:55.200 discretionary timeline. This is this stuff we spend our disposable time, 2637 02:39:55.319 --> 02:39:58.520 our disposable income, our disposable thoughts, the stuff that we 2638 02:39:58.559 --> 02:40:01.239 have freedom. You know, you're not working right now, what 2639 02:40:01.239 --> 02:40:01.920 are you thinking about? 2640 02:40:02.159 --> 02:40:02.239 That? 2641 02:40:02.399 --> 02:40:05.079 There's your God? You're you're not you're not engaged with 2642 02:40:05.120 --> 02:40:07.440 your family? What are you thinking about? There is your God? 2643 02:40:07.959 --> 02:40:09.559 So I think in the end we have to kind 2644 02:40:09.559 --> 02:40:11.879 of align our thoughts and align our abilities. And so 2645 02:40:11.920 --> 02:40:13.399 we want to do we've always wanted to do this 2646 02:40:13.680 --> 02:40:16.520 is provide resources that will help people. If you do 2647 02:40:16.600 --> 02:40:18.319 want to do that, like how do you learn? Like 2648 02:40:18.360 --> 02:40:20.479 where do you get that stuff? Yes, you can buy 2649 02:40:20.479 --> 02:40:22.520 a book, but what we want to do is offer 2650 02:40:22.600 --> 02:40:25.040 those free resources to our website that will help you 2651 02:40:25.079 --> 02:40:26.159 to take the next step. 2652 02:40:26.440 --> 02:40:28.120 Well, and I love what you do because you know, 2653 02:40:28.399 --> 02:40:31.799 we always have we always have people who will push 2654 02:40:31.840 --> 02:40:34.840 back on that. And I like to have my faith 2655 02:40:35.040 --> 02:40:39.239 challenged from one perspective or the other because I always 2656 02:40:39.319 --> 02:40:41.639 found that when I get that challenge and I go 2657 02:40:41.760 --> 02:40:46.040 back and I investigate in it, I come back much stronger. 2658 02:40:46.079 --> 02:40:49.799 There's always because it is true, and that it helps 2659 02:40:49.799 --> 02:40:51.639 me to understand that it's true if I go back 2660 02:40:51.680 --> 02:40:53.520 and I investigate, which is what you did in your life. 2661 02:40:53.559 --> 02:40:57.079 You go back and you investigate it. Uh, and you 2662 02:40:57.079 --> 02:40:59.879 know it's not a blind faith that we have. And 2663 02:41:00.280 --> 02:41:02.639 what it does is you find the answers and as 2664 02:41:02.680 --> 02:41:05.399 you dig deep, then it becomes a passion for your 2665 02:41:05.399 --> 02:41:07.799 life the more you get into it. And we've talking 2666 02:41:07.840 --> 02:41:10.600 about celebrities. We've had so many celebrities in the last 2667 02:41:10.639 --> 02:41:12.840 year or so that I've seen there in their fifties 2668 02:41:12.879 --> 02:41:15.200 and sixties and say, you know, I never read the 2669 02:41:15.200 --> 02:41:17.520 Bible before, but I started reading. It's pretty amazing. 2670 02:41:17.600 --> 02:41:17.840 You know. 2671 02:41:18.600 --> 02:41:20.920 Then they want to grab you by the lapel and 2672 02:41:20.959 --> 02:41:23.280 tell you about how amazing this isn't what they found 2673 02:41:23.319 --> 02:41:26.680 in it, and that's we don't see that in the 2674 02:41:27.520 --> 02:41:30.600 case of a lot of nominal Christians because they're just 2675 02:41:30.639 --> 02:41:32.959 not reading it, you know. They may be a part 2676 02:41:33.000 --> 02:41:36.000 of a club or a church or whatever you know, 2677 02:41:36.079 --> 02:41:38.600 but they're not really actively involved in it. And so 2678 02:41:38.600 --> 02:41:40.280 if you can get something in that that pulls you in, 2679 02:41:40.399 --> 02:41:42.680 That's what I love. What you do in general with 2680 02:41:42.799 --> 02:41:47.440 a cold case Christianity is that you answer a lot 2681 02:41:47.440 --> 02:41:49.959 of these concerns that other people had, concerns that you 2682 02:41:50.079 --> 02:41:51.399 had when you first came to it. 2683 02:41:51.680 --> 02:41:53.440 Yeah, no, there's no doubt about it. I mean I 2684 02:41:53.440 --> 02:41:55.200 think what we want I'm hoping to do to have 2685 02:41:55.280 --> 02:41:57.200 my own kids and as I was raising them and 2686 02:41:57.239 --> 02:41:59.760 now my grandkids, is to help them and development and 2687 02:42:00.040 --> 02:42:04.079 stigative approach. This is worth taking the time to. Like, 2688 02:42:04.280 --> 02:42:06.559 church attendance is not the box you can check and say, okay, 2689 02:42:06.600 --> 02:42:08.879 I've done. It's just one of the many things you're 2690 02:42:08.879 --> 02:42:11.200 going to find yourself doing because you are this in 2691 02:42:11.239 --> 02:42:14.559 love with the worldview with Jesus of Nazareth. So I 2692 02:42:14.600 --> 02:42:16.680 think the reality of it is is how do you 2693 02:42:16.760 --> 02:42:20.159 do this? Here's what I love. This is a worldview 2694 02:42:20.280 --> 02:42:23.959 you could investigate. Think about it. If you're somebody, for example, 2695 02:42:24.040 --> 02:42:27.280 who is a Bahaigh and you think that the writings 2696 02:42:27.280 --> 02:42:31.520 of Baha Law are magnificent and beautiful and spiritual. Okay, great, 2697 02:42:31.680 --> 02:42:34.639 How could you test those? How do you test proverbial 2698 02:42:34.719 --> 02:42:37.639 statements even though their Buddha if their Hindu statements, whatever 2699 02:42:37.680 --> 02:42:39.959 they may be. How do you test that this is 2700 02:42:40.000 --> 02:42:43.079 not just that Jesus said smart things, of course he did. 2701 02:42:43.559 --> 02:42:46.559 Is that this is a claim about something that happened 2702 02:42:46.680 --> 02:42:50.399 in history. That's very unusual if you think about it. 2703 02:42:50.559 --> 02:42:53.440 You don't have claims about history that can be tested 2704 02:42:53.959 --> 02:42:57.959 in the High Faith or in Buddhist faith. This is 2705 02:42:58.600 --> 02:43:01.520 testable in the sense that it records an event. If 2706 02:43:01.520 --> 02:43:04.440 it didn't happen, it's all false. So you can now 2707 02:43:04.680 --> 02:43:06.959 there's something you can point to now, which is the resurrection. 2708 02:43:07.120 --> 02:43:09.600 Do we have good reason to believe the resurrection occurred? 2709 02:43:10.000 --> 02:43:13.920 If it did, then this guy's in a different category. Jesus. 2710 02:43:14.399 --> 02:43:16.639 He's the one wise guy who, unlike all the other 2711 02:43:16.719 --> 02:43:20.319 ancient wise guys, rose from the grave. We need to 2712 02:43:20.360 --> 02:43:23.079 know have confidence that that's the case, because otherwise he's 2713 02:43:23.159 --> 02:43:28.440 just one ancient voice among many who also said wise things? 2714 02:43:28.840 --> 02:43:32.920 Or is he the voice? And by the way, because 2715 02:43:32.959 --> 02:43:35.479 we are created in the image of this God, we 2716 02:43:35.559 --> 02:43:37.959 always have a shadow of his teaching in our lives. 2717 02:43:38.639 --> 02:43:42.360 We are image bearers. We cannot avoid it. Even when 2718 02:43:42.399 --> 02:43:45.239 we think, do you know any Christ figures? There are 2719 02:43:45.280 --> 02:43:48.639 in history the stories that are like the Jesus story 2720 02:43:48.639 --> 02:43:50.639 that emerge. Now, you could argue that those that come 2721 02:43:50.680 --> 02:43:53.319 after Jesus are simply people who are copying the Jesus story, 2722 02:43:53.520 --> 02:43:55.879 but there are a lot of Christ figures that are 2723 02:43:55.920 --> 02:43:59.520 pre Jesus. Why because this is God's story. And if 2724 02:43:59.520 --> 02:44:02.200 you're an imag Barrett, which you are, you kind of 2725 02:44:02.200 --> 02:44:04.479 a neatly have God's story in your head, whether you 2726 02:44:04.559 --> 02:44:05.000 like it or not. 2727 02:44:05.239 --> 02:44:05.639 That's right. 2728 02:44:05.719 --> 02:44:07.239 So I think in the end, we want to be 2729 02:44:07.239 --> 02:44:10.559 able to use our giftedness, whatever that may be, all 2730 02:44:10.600 --> 02:44:12.440 of us, even those of us who are listening to 2731 02:44:12.200 --> 02:44:16.639 this show, to be creative, and we ought to own 2732 02:44:16.680 --> 02:44:19.520 the arts we have. By the way, for generations, don't 2733 02:44:19.520 --> 02:44:22.920 step back from the arts. Continue to write write fiction 2734 02:44:23.319 --> 02:44:25.559 to Christian movies. Yes, I know people will say, well 2735 02:44:25.639 --> 02:44:27.840 they're not the what I hope they wish they would be. Well, 2736 02:44:27.879 --> 02:44:29.719 that's on us. We can do a better job. So 2737 02:44:29.799 --> 02:44:31.639 let's do that better job so we have something to 2738 02:44:31.680 --> 02:44:34.440 point to, so our young people have an alternative that 2739 02:44:34.559 --> 02:44:35.799 actually is God honoring. 2740 02:44:36.120 --> 02:44:36.639 I agree. 2741 02:44:36.719 --> 02:44:38.719 Oh yeah, And as a matter of fact, you're talking 2742 02:44:38.719 --> 02:44:41.120 about doing the best job that you can. That's the key, 2743 02:44:41.200 --> 02:44:43.680 you know, when we look at the architecture, for example 2744 02:44:43.680 --> 02:44:46.719 in Europe, the Great Cathedrals and everything that we're there, 2745 02:44:47.159 --> 02:44:50.719 and there was a multi generational effort to show their 2746 02:44:50.760 --> 02:44:53.760 best you know, to show their best skills and all 2747 02:44:53.760 --> 02:44:55.920 the rest. So they poured it into that. Regardless of 2748 02:44:56.280 --> 02:45:00.200 you know what you think, there was still a that 2749 02:45:00.600 --> 02:45:03.879 was their desire to do something in some way that 2750 02:45:03.920 --> 02:45:06.680 honored God and everything that we do. I think is 2751 02:45:06.760 --> 02:45:09.840 Christians ought to be done to a standard that people 2752 02:45:09.840 --> 02:45:12.600 would say, Oh, I want to know more about this guy, 2753 02:45:12.680 --> 02:45:15.879 what motivates him, you know, to do something of that quality. 2754 02:45:16.479 --> 02:45:18.680 But as you were saying, it all comes back to 2755 02:45:19.000 --> 02:45:23.120 the resurrection of Jesus. And we're just a week away 2756 02:45:23.120 --> 02:45:28.159 from resurrection Sunday. And you've got case closed that is 2757 02:45:28.200 --> 02:45:30.840 also there at your website and you have a link 2758 02:45:30.879 --> 02:45:33.239 to that as part of people get this graphic novel. 2759 02:45:33.319 --> 02:45:34.840 It's a link to that. Tell us a little bit 2760 02:45:34.879 --> 02:45:35.319 about that. 2761 02:45:36.520 --> 02:45:38.799 Yeah, the Key's Clothes was really something we wanted to 2762 02:45:38.799 --> 02:45:40.840 do a long time ago. We've done a couple of 2763 02:45:40.840 --> 02:45:43.000 different versions of what we would hope to be a 2764 02:45:43.040 --> 02:45:45.440 case quick case of the resurrection, because I do think 2765 02:45:45.479 --> 02:45:47.200 this is the one most important piece of evidence that 2766 02:45:47.280 --> 02:45:49.440 is in the Christian world view. Paul says, if the 2767 02:45:49.520 --> 02:45:52.799 resurrection didn't occur, then number one, we have been false witnesses. 2768 02:45:53.040 --> 02:45:55.000 So you've been lying to you. So that ought to 2769 02:45:55.000 --> 02:45:57.760 discredit pretty much everything else we've said. But also you 2770 02:45:57.840 --> 02:46:00.600 have no hope of your own resurrection. This is all 2771 02:46:00.600 --> 02:46:03.680 in First Corinthians fifteen. So if you look at this, 2772 02:46:03.680 --> 02:46:05.680 this is the key thing that I knew I had 2773 02:46:05.680 --> 02:46:08.959 to investigate. First, Do I have good reason to believe 2774 02:46:09.040 --> 02:46:11.920 that this resurrection thing occurred? Because that puts him in 2775 02:46:11.959 --> 02:46:16.719 a different category altogether, and that category is the difference 2776 02:46:16.719 --> 02:46:19.920 between any other ancients age and Jesus of Nazareth. So 2777 02:46:19.920 --> 02:46:22.399 what this is is like a thirty or forty page, 2778 02:46:22.520 --> 02:46:25.760 very small booklet. It's the quickest version I can give 2779 02:46:25.799 --> 02:46:28.719 you of why I think the resurrection is the most 2780 02:46:28.840 --> 02:46:33.360 reasonable inference from the historical evidence. Now, look, some of 2781 02:46:33.360 --> 02:46:34.760 the people are going to say, well, I can't believe 2782 02:46:34.760 --> 02:46:37.440 that because it includes something supernatural. You know, it turns 2783 02:46:37.479 --> 02:46:41.000 out that that supernatural thing is what's keeping most people out. 2784 02:46:41.040 --> 02:46:43.840 Here's what I mean, if we had an ancient set 2785 02:46:43.840 --> 02:46:46.959 of documents that just describe Jesus of Nazareth as a 2786 02:46:47.000 --> 02:46:50.040 simple teaching rabbi in the first century, that's all he is. 2787 02:46:50.639 --> 02:46:52.760 He said some wise things, but never worked a miracle, 2788 02:46:52.840 --> 02:46:55.000 never rose from the grave, never walked on water. It 2789 02:46:55.040 --> 02:46:56.639 was not born of a virgin, he says. This guy, 2790 02:46:56.799 --> 02:46:59.520 just an ancient guy who was smart. There wouldn't be 2791 02:46:59.559 --> 02:47:02.479 a sin no skeptic on planet Earth who would deny 2792 02:47:02.600 --> 02:47:06.520 the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth based on the manuscript 2793 02:47:06.520 --> 02:47:09.920 evidence we have, it's so strong. There is no ancient 2794 02:47:09.920 --> 02:47:13.760 who's better attested than Jesus. But if you insert one 2795 02:47:13.920 --> 02:47:18.799 miracle into those same ancient manuscripts, suddenly skepticism is at 2796 02:47:18.840 --> 02:47:21.159 a high None of it can be true. Why that 2797 02:47:21.280 --> 02:47:24.239 just tells you that the skepticism is not based on 2798 02:47:24.399 --> 02:47:28.600 the strength of the manuscript evidence. It's based on a 2799 02:47:28.639 --> 02:47:32.760 presuppositional bias against the supernatural. Just trust me, take out 2800 02:47:32.799 --> 02:47:36.600 the supernatural elements and everyone loves it. But what they 2801 02:47:36.680 --> 02:47:39.440 so that is really about us having to examine do 2802 02:47:39.479 --> 02:47:44.399 we have really good reason to reject anything outside of space, time, matter, physics, 2803 02:47:44.440 --> 02:47:47.639 and chemistry. I actually think there's a good reason to 2804 02:47:48.120 --> 02:47:52.200 believe there is something beyond space time, matter, physics, and chemistry, 2805 02:47:52.319 --> 02:47:56.000 just from the science of those who study the universe. Yes, 2806 02:47:56.399 --> 02:47:58.840 I think we're stuck with that. The quot only question 2807 02:47:59.000 --> 02:48:01.440 is is that thing side of space time, matter, science, 2808 02:48:02.399 --> 02:48:06.319 in physics, chemistry, and physics. Is that thing personal? Is 2809 02:48:06.360 --> 02:48:09.120 it a personal being? If there is a personal being 2810 02:48:09.559 --> 02:48:12.719 that starts the universe, well then I suspect you could 2811 02:48:12.719 --> 02:48:15.520 do anything he wants once the universe has been started. 2812 02:48:16.000 --> 02:48:19.040 So there's no like big big deal miracle in the 2813 02:48:19.079 --> 02:48:22.040 pages of the New Testament. The biggest miracle of all 2814 02:48:22.200 --> 02:48:26.840 is in Genesis one. Everything from nothing that's big. If 2815 02:48:26.879 --> 02:48:28.920 you can do that, you can probably walk on water. 2816 02:48:29.120 --> 02:48:34.200 So that helped me to at least navigate my bias 2817 02:48:34.479 --> 02:48:37.440 against the supernatural. I was somebody who believed in big 2818 02:48:37.479 --> 02:48:40.840 bang cosmology. That's still the standard cosmological model of the 2819 02:48:40.879 --> 02:48:44.959 astrophysicists who are working today as secularists. Well, they believe 2820 02:48:45.000 --> 02:48:47.079 that there's something outside of space time and matter that 2821 02:48:47.120 --> 02:48:49.239 begins all space time and matter. Well, what is that? 2822 02:48:50.239 --> 02:48:54.079 What kind of force? Is it an impersonal force or 2823 02:48:54.120 --> 02:48:56.959 is it a personal force? Why would we think for example, 2824 02:48:57.040 --> 02:49:00.280 it's an impersonal force, and be stuck on that. If 2825 02:49:00.319 --> 02:49:02.239 it's a personal force, we at least have to have 2826 02:49:02.280 --> 02:49:05.840 a hypothesis that includes God as a creator. I'm not 2827 02:49:05.879 --> 02:49:08.000 saying you all have to do this, you have to 2828 02:49:08.040 --> 02:49:10.360 jump in that direction, but can you at least allow 2829 02:49:10.399 --> 02:49:12.399 that as a hypothesis, because I'll tell you what, if 2830 02:49:12.399 --> 02:49:14.559 you do, you're going to find that it has much 2831 02:49:14.639 --> 02:49:17.159 better explanatory power for a lot of other things in 2832 02:49:17.200 --> 02:49:20.079 the universe. So I think in the end that was 2833 02:49:20.120 --> 02:49:21.280 what had to open the door for me. 2834 02:49:21.719 --> 02:49:22.079 Yeah. 2835 02:49:22.159 --> 02:49:24.000 Yeah, if there was ever a time, as people have said, 2836 02:49:24.000 --> 02:49:25.840 if there was ever a time where there was literally 2837 02:49:25.879 --> 02:49:29.360 no thing, then there still would be nothing is out there, 2838 02:49:29.639 --> 02:49:32.360 and you know, we even talk about the word supernatural. 2839 02:49:33.319 --> 02:49:37.760 There must be something that organizes this, that is above nature. 2840 02:49:37.799 --> 02:49:40.280 And we've seen a lot of materialistic scientists say that. 2841 02:49:40.600 --> 02:49:43.799 You looked at Krick and Watson who discovered DNA, they 2842 02:49:43.799 --> 02:49:47.840 could no longer deny an intelligent design, but instead they 2843 02:49:47.920 --> 02:49:50.840 created in their imagination. So well, we'll call it panspermi. 2844 02:49:50.920 --> 02:49:53.000 It must have been aliens who came here and did this, 2845 02:49:53.319 --> 02:49:55.040 but they will not. Then you take it to the 2846 02:49:55.040 --> 02:49:57.719 next step I'm going to I'm still going to deny 2847 02:49:57.879 --> 02:50:01.040 the God of the Bible, even if I the inevitability 2848 02:50:01.079 --> 02:50:04.360 and the impossibility of this happening without intelligent design. So 2849 02:50:04.399 --> 02:50:06.799 there's always there's always that there. But that's the other 2850 02:50:06.920 --> 02:50:10.239 thing I like about Christianity is always about critical thinking. 2851 02:50:10.520 --> 02:50:13.440 It encourages, it invites critical thinking. And that's what you 2852 02:50:13.559 --> 02:50:17.520 do with cold case Christianity. You invite critical thinking and 2853 02:50:17.559 --> 02:50:20.520 you have answers for that, and it's important for us. 2854 02:50:20.520 --> 02:50:23.959 We can't really go it's a vital life skill for 2855 02:50:24.040 --> 02:50:27.000 us to be able to have critical thinking. And so 2856 02:50:27.040 --> 02:50:30.239 that's something that we tried to really stress with our 2857 02:50:30.319 --> 02:50:34.120 children when we were homeschooling, was the critical thinking aspect. 2858 02:50:34.159 --> 02:50:37.159 And so we would look at at creation versus evolution, 2859 02:50:37.280 --> 02:50:40.760 and we would look at all the biology and you know, 2860 02:50:40.959 --> 02:50:43.360 here's your set of facts, and everybody's got the same 2861 02:50:43.479 --> 02:50:45.799 set of facts. How do we interpret these set of facts? 2862 02:50:45.840 --> 02:50:48.799 And why would we interpret this way or that way? Yeah, well, 2863 02:50:48.840 --> 02:50:50.079 and think about this. 2864 02:50:49.559 --> 02:50:52.200 This is a worldview that I hope in people even 2865 02:50:52.200 --> 02:50:54.079 when they read our books, whether it's this book or 2866 02:50:54.479 --> 02:50:57.799 fiction or nonfiction, I think this is a very different worldview. 2867 02:50:57.840 --> 02:51:01.079 Paul tells us in Romans twelve two that you cannot 2868 02:51:01.079 --> 02:51:03.879 be conformed to this crazy world, but you need to 2869 02:51:03.920 --> 02:51:05.680 be transformed. And he had a number of ways he 2870 02:51:05.680 --> 02:51:07.840 could have said it. Remember when I listened to a suspect, 2871 02:51:08.120 --> 02:51:10.440 I'm listening to all the things and thinking to myself, 2872 02:51:10.879 --> 02:51:13.840 how he chose to say it a certain way? Why 2873 02:51:13.879 --> 02:51:15.639 did he choose to say it this way when there 2874 02:51:15.639 --> 02:51:17.799 were about six or seven other ways he could have 2875 02:51:17.879 --> 02:51:20.399 said it? Because how you choose to say it matters. 2876 02:51:20.799 --> 02:51:23.520 And Paul says in Rome's twelve two that we are 2877 02:51:23.559 --> 02:51:26.280 to be transformed, not by the renewal of our will, 2878 02:51:26.559 --> 02:51:30.479 or our hearts, or our emotion or our experiences. Like, 2879 02:51:30.559 --> 02:51:32.600 what is it that's going to make a difference, what's 2880 02:51:32.600 --> 02:51:35.760 going to transform your life? Well, it turns out it's 2881 02:51:35.760 --> 02:51:40.840 the renewal of your mind. It's about rethinking. This is 2882 02:51:40.879 --> 02:51:44.399 a thinking person's worldview. And I know that we have 2883 02:51:44.559 --> 02:51:48.159 got a generation, we've got so many different strands of Christianity. 2884 02:51:48.200 --> 02:51:52.680 And what's really emphasized is the experience, what you've experienced. 2885 02:51:52.799 --> 02:51:54.719 Share your testimony, and what they're really saying is, no, 2886 02:51:54.840 --> 02:51:56.799 don't share the way you thought about this, the way 2887 02:51:56.799 --> 02:51:59.680 you rethought all the facts. What most people are about 2888 02:51:59.680 --> 02:52:03.440 to share that is what experience they had from that 2889 02:52:03.520 --> 02:52:06.440 they interpreted that God was real. I get it. God 2890 02:52:06.440 --> 02:52:08.879 has got of experiences for sure, and if you've had 2891 02:52:08.879 --> 02:52:11.719 an experience, you may be able to test it to God, 2892 02:52:11.760 --> 02:52:14.079 but you need to kind of evaluate it based on 2893 02:52:14.440 --> 02:52:17.760 the evidence. It's not just your experience. Your experience alone 2894 02:52:17.760 --> 02:52:20.040 will get you into all kinds of trouble. I have 2895 02:52:20.159 --> 02:52:23.920 six brothers and sisters who are raised lds by my stepmother, 2896 02:52:24.319 --> 02:52:26.239 and they largely will tell you that they had an 2897 02:52:26.319 --> 02:52:28.680 experience that confirmed for them that the Book of Mormon 2898 02:52:28.799 --> 02:52:31.959 was true and that you know, Joseph Smith was a 2899 02:52:31.959 --> 02:52:34.879 prophet of God. Well, look, your experiences can't be trusted. 2900 02:52:35.079 --> 02:52:39.200 They have to be tested against the facts. And once 2901 02:52:39.239 --> 02:52:41.239 they're tested against the facts, you can know if that 2902 02:52:41.360 --> 02:52:44.680 experience is if you've properly interpreted it. Yes, well, I 2903 02:52:44.680 --> 02:52:46.959 think we have a worldview that encourages us to not 2904 02:52:47.120 --> 02:52:50.840 just you know, enjoy the experience of God's presence, but 2905 02:52:50.959 --> 02:52:53.879 to test it to make sure it actually is God's presence. 2906 02:52:53.920 --> 02:52:56.639 You're feeling yes, because you know, I believe there's a 2907 02:52:56.639 --> 02:53:00.360 spiritual realm, but not every spiritual experience you have necessarily 2908 02:53:00.440 --> 02:53:01.360 be from God. 2909 02:53:01.440 --> 02:53:04.040 And we have tosk the spirits to sperience. Yeah, exactly, 2910 02:53:04.120 --> 02:53:05.760 I got to see if that is from gotten and 2911 02:53:06.000 --> 02:53:09.000 it calls us to worship him in spirit and in truth. 2912 02:53:09.479 --> 02:53:11.520 And we don't want to throw away either one of 2913 02:53:11.520 --> 02:53:14.760 those because it's an a or you know, that's right. 2914 02:53:14.840 --> 02:53:17.319 And so he says they come, let his reason together, 2915 02:53:17.440 --> 02:53:19.559 you know, he says, you're there. He sends me a scarlett, 2916 02:53:19.559 --> 02:53:22.200 I'll make him white as snow. So he invites us 2917 02:53:22.600 --> 02:53:25.559 to use are the minds that he gave us, and 2918 02:53:25.600 --> 02:53:28.600 that is a wonderful thing. And then he does come 2919 02:53:28.760 --> 02:53:32.440 with experiences as well, and so all of that has 2920 02:53:32.520 --> 02:53:36.440 to be a part of it. And so it is. 2921 02:53:36.760 --> 02:53:39.040 It is a complete package. And I think a lot 2922 02:53:39.040 --> 02:53:40.120 of people it's one of the. 2923 02:53:40.040 --> 02:53:42.239 Reasons this is one of the reasons to do. But 2924 02:53:42.280 --> 02:53:44.520 I'm thinking, this is why we wanted to do fiction. 2925 02:53:45.000 --> 02:53:47.200 I have a sense that that we can make a 2926 02:53:47.239 --> 02:53:51.520 case that you can sent to intellectually, but fiction takes 2927 02:53:51.559 --> 02:53:54.840 you along as part of the experience of the chase 2928 02:53:54.840 --> 02:53:57.440 for this killer, for example, in this book. And it's 2929 02:53:57.520 --> 02:54:00.639 so it's it's combining both what is the case for this, 2930 02:54:00.840 --> 02:54:04.520 and two, I want you to experience something. And my 2931 02:54:04.559 --> 02:54:06.600 son always says it that, yes, he learns a lot 2932 02:54:06.680 --> 02:54:10.319 from nonfiction, but it feels like when he's reading fiction, 2933 02:54:10.479 --> 02:54:15.079 he's drawn into the story and it becomes an experience. 2934 02:54:15.120 --> 02:54:16.959 And I think that's true for a movie. If you 2935 02:54:17.000 --> 02:54:19.079 watch a movie for those two hours, you're kind of 2936 02:54:19.440 --> 02:54:24.079 transported into that realm Well, graphic novels are basically just 2937 02:54:24.159 --> 02:54:26.319 movies that have been put on paper, because there is 2938 02:54:26.479 --> 02:54:30.040 storyboarded movies, and so we hope that when you open 2939 02:54:30.079 --> 02:54:32.280 this up, and even if you're not somebody who likes 2940 02:54:32.319 --> 02:54:35.280 to read a novel, graphic novels are so visual, you're 2941 02:54:35.319 --> 02:54:38.040 just watching a movie, and so you can take anywhere 2942 02:54:38.079 --> 02:54:40.159 you want to go. So the idea is to draw 2943 02:54:40.200 --> 02:54:43.079 people into that experience. Because I think this You're right, 2944 02:54:43.159 --> 02:54:45.879 this is not an either or. I would never suggest 2945 02:54:45.879 --> 02:54:49.600 that you can develop your entire Christian worldview from fiction. 2946 02:54:50.399 --> 02:54:53.479 That's like saying experiences are all that matter. At the 2947 02:54:53.520 --> 02:54:55.200 same time, though, you got to be careful not to 2948 02:54:55.280 --> 02:54:58.440 draw all your Christian, robust Christian life simply from reading 2949 02:54:58.520 --> 02:55:02.079 non fictional case books basically their theology or whatever they 2950 02:55:02.079 --> 02:55:03.399 may be. Because it's going to be kind of dry, 2951 02:55:04.040 --> 02:55:06.280 like you need to have a heart and head kind 2952 02:55:06.280 --> 02:55:10.520 of experience together. And I think that nonfiction often affects 2953 02:55:10.559 --> 02:55:14.440 your head. Fiction often affects your heart. So that combination 2954 02:55:14.520 --> 02:55:16.200 we think we have, it's basically I always say, is 2955 02:55:16.200 --> 02:55:18.319 we're trying to bite the apple from both sides. 2956 02:55:18.879 --> 02:55:21.520 Well, it combines the spirit and the truth in a way, 2957 02:55:21.639 --> 02:55:24.479 you know when you have that there, and you know, 2958 02:55:24.559 --> 02:55:28.000 it reminds me of music. For example, right when we 2959 02:55:28.319 --> 02:55:30.360 have music. If you've got good lyrics, that's great. And 2960 02:55:30.760 --> 02:55:33.959 if it and it moves, it moves you emotionally through 2961 02:55:33.959 --> 02:55:36.360 the music, and then you add the lyrics. If they 2962 02:55:36.520 --> 02:55:39.760 if they teach you something that's valuable, that's a great 2963 02:55:39.760 --> 02:55:42.559 thing as well. And again going back to the graphic novels, 2964 02:55:42.719 --> 02:55:44.959 they are so much like movies. That was the thing 2965 02:55:45.000 --> 02:55:48.600 that used to always fascinate me because I can't draw anything. 2966 02:55:48.760 --> 02:55:52.639 I can't trustick figures and the fact that somebody could, 2967 02:55:52.840 --> 02:55:54.239 as they do in your book. You know, you can 2968 02:55:54.319 --> 02:55:58.879 draw things and there's a certain kind of kinetic you 2969 02:55:58.879 --> 02:56:01.120 can almost see things move, you know when you look 2970 02:56:01.159 --> 02:56:03.239 at it, because it is like a storyboard. But you know, 2971 02:56:03.360 --> 02:56:06.040 good graphic artists can can make it really come alive, 2972 02:56:06.200 --> 02:56:08.399 like you're kind of seeing the movement there. You can 2973 02:56:08.440 --> 02:56:10.600 see the movement from one panel to the next store 2974 02:56:10.760 --> 02:56:13.319 from the character what they're doing. You can imagine it there, 2975 02:56:13.360 --> 02:56:13.600 you know. 2976 02:56:13.959 --> 02:56:17.280 Yes, my son always says that what we what we 2977 02:56:17.360 --> 02:56:21.319 contributed is we contributed the movies script or the screenwriters, 2978 02:56:21.520 --> 02:56:24.440 and in that screenplay, you're going to have some direction 2979 02:56:24.600 --> 02:56:26.840 about like who's going to what the movement should be, 2980 02:56:27.319 --> 02:56:29.120 what the scene is going to look like, what the 2981 02:56:29.200 --> 02:56:31.280 characters are going to say for sure, what the action. 2982 02:56:31.479 --> 02:56:35.000 You're writing all of that into the screenplay. But the 2983 02:56:35.120 --> 02:56:38.280 artist in a graphic novel is every other person in 2984 02:56:38.280 --> 02:56:40.719 the movie. He's the director because he's going to direct 2985 02:56:40.760 --> 02:56:43.600 the action. He is all of the actors. He's even 2986 02:56:43.639 --> 02:56:46.319 telling the actors what expressions to take. He is the 2987 02:56:46.440 --> 02:56:50.280 wardrobe guy. He is the set designer. I mean, he's 2988 02:56:50.319 --> 02:56:53.760 the lighting person. I mean the artist basically play the 2989 02:56:53.879 --> 02:56:57.399 role of every other important person in a movie project. 2990 02:56:57.799 --> 02:57:00.799 All we do is submit the screenplay, and we've also 2991 02:57:00.840 --> 02:57:04.319 given them liberty the same way a screenwriter was going 2992 02:57:04.360 --> 02:57:07.360 to give liberty to a director to direct his screenplay. However, 2993 02:57:07.399 --> 02:57:10.120 he sees fit. You hire the right person, right because 2994 02:57:10.159 --> 02:57:11.239 you know that you're going to have to give him 2995 02:57:11.239 --> 02:57:13.200 that liberty. Well, the same is true with this kind 2996 02:57:13.200 --> 02:57:16.200 of a project. We had to give the artists the liberty. 2997 02:57:16.200 --> 02:57:18.479 We developed the characters, we developed the storyline, We give 2998 02:57:18.520 --> 02:57:21.920 them the storyline, then they bring it to life. And 2999 02:57:22.239 --> 02:57:24.639 we weren't even sure. We had some ideas. They gave 3000 02:57:24.719 --> 02:57:26.920 us the rough sketches back on the different characters, and 3001 02:57:26.920 --> 02:57:29.399 there's like six major characters here, and we had some 3002 02:57:29.479 --> 02:57:31.920 ideas about those characters, and we had some input, of course, 3003 02:57:32.479 --> 02:57:34.559 But in the end, I was impressed with what they 3004 02:57:34.639 --> 02:57:38.360 thought the characters should look like. And I think this 3005 02:57:38.440 --> 02:57:40.680 is awesome right now be able to have cast that 3006 02:57:40.799 --> 02:57:43.760 actor for that role. But here they thought of something 3007 02:57:43.799 --> 02:57:45.719 just and by the way, they're not just they're thinking 3008 02:57:45.719 --> 02:57:48.639 of it just from their imagination. It's really an amazing 3009 02:57:48.680 --> 02:57:51.159 process to go through. But I think in the end, 3010 02:57:51.319 --> 02:57:53.440 when you see it, I think most people don't think 3011 02:57:53.440 --> 02:57:55.920 of comic books as being that thoughtful, but there is 3012 02:57:56.000 --> 02:57:59.120 so much that's happening behind the scenes. For example, we 3013 02:57:59.159 --> 02:58:01.879 started this project and a half years ago and we 3014 02:58:02.040 --> 02:58:03.600 were ready to go. We could have I mean, we 3015 02:58:03.639 --> 02:58:05.440 could have had this. If we could just snap your 3016 02:58:05.479 --> 02:58:08.200 fingers and produce, you know, one hundred and sixty pages 3017 02:58:08.200 --> 02:58:10.719 of art, we could have been ready in a day. 3018 02:58:11.399 --> 02:58:13.319 It took two and a half years for us to 3019 02:58:13.360 --> 02:58:18.559 get from concept to published work, and that's largely because 3020 02:58:18.719 --> 02:58:21.479 it's a collective effort and it's like making a movie. 3021 02:58:21.559 --> 02:58:23.920 Well, it certainly does show and just like that last 3022 02:58:23.920 --> 02:58:27.040 panel that you had of there, Trevis that there's one 3023 02:58:27.040 --> 02:58:29.639 at the bottom where a guy comes up behind and 3024 02:58:30.200 --> 02:58:32.680 hit somebody from the back and you see crack and 3025 02:58:32.719 --> 02:58:34.799 you see the cap flying and there. I mean, there's 3026 02:58:34.959 --> 02:58:38.639 just such kinetic energy in these graphic novels. That's what 3027 02:58:38.680 --> 02:58:40.799 I really enjoy out of it because you can really 3028 02:58:40.840 --> 02:58:42.840 see it come alive. And as you point out, you know, 3029 02:58:42.879 --> 02:58:46.879 they create the characters and they're doing the direction and 3030 02:58:46.959 --> 02:58:49.879 the action in it. So it is a great collaboration 3031 02:58:50.000 --> 02:58:53.200 and it looks really interesting. I've seen some of haven't 3032 02:58:53.239 --> 02:58:55.120 had time to go through all of it yet, but 3033 02:58:55.200 --> 02:58:57.159 it's really well done. 3034 02:58:57.280 --> 02:58:58.040 Again it is. 3035 02:58:59.239 --> 02:59:01.799 You can go to Coldcase Christianity dot com. That's where 3036 02:59:01.840 --> 02:59:03.879 that people can can find it and buy it, right 3037 02:59:03.879 --> 02:59:05.719 I guess they can also get it on Amazon but 3038 02:59:05.760 --> 02:59:09.600 if they get it. Once they get it, then there 3039 02:59:09.680 --> 02:59:11.079 is a code in the back that's going to give 3040 02:59:11.079 --> 02:59:14.239 them supplemental material. And it is a great outreach, a 3041 02:59:14.239 --> 02:59:16.239 great conversation starter with people. 3042 02:59:16.239 --> 02:59:18.239 I think, yeah, I hope it is. I hope it's 3043 02:59:18.239 --> 02:59:19.760 a gateway book. I think it's the kind of thing 3044 02:59:19.760 --> 02:59:21.920 that you can give somebody and then the conversation begins. 3045 02:59:21.920 --> 02:59:24.639 Now the question is are you ready for the conversation. 3046 02:59:25.280 --> 02:59:27.040 And that's what we really, I think our whole ministry 3047 02:59:27.079 --> 02:59:29.280 is about. If this is a tool that helps you 3048 02:59:29.600 --> 02:59:32.200 get active and get ready for the conversation, then we've 3049 02:59:32.200 --> 02:59:33.040 accomplished our goal. 3050 02:59:33.239 --> 02:59:35.319 That's right. And you know that's the wonderful thing about it. 3051 02:59:35.360 --> 02:59:38.399 We used to have a Bible study in our home 3052 02:59:38.920 --> 02:59:42.360 back in North Carolina, and when something is coming up 3053 02:59:42.399 --> 02:59:45.040 like that, you know you have to.
