1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: The following presentation Isabel Marvis Studio's production.

2
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back to singers from around the world. It's time

3
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,719
for another edition of the Fact Hunter podcast. As we

4
00:00:37,799 --> 00:00:41,359
record on this Monday, June the fifteenth, twenty twenty sixth

5
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,640
and I hope this message finds you well. Hope you

6
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:46,960
had a great weekend. The weather today has been phenomenal.

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,479
Eighty degrees, a nice breeze, about a fifteen degree drop

8
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,840
from last week. It was just insufferable, but a beautiful

9
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,880
couple of days before it starts to go back up again.

10
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,719
I hope everybody's doing well. And as we kick off

11
00:01:01,759 --> 00:01:04,519
the summer, I hope you all have some downtime to

12
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,519
spend with your family and your friends. One quick note

13
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,079
kind of a thank you before we get started today.

14
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,439
The website Million Podcasts, they just release their list of

15
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,040
the best one hundred conspiracy podcasts in the country. We

16
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,920
fall into conspiracy, although we like to use the word truther,

17
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,400
but again we're number seven and we appreciate that. That again,

18
00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:31,760
that's on a Million Podcasts, their list of one hundred

19
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:36,879
best conspiracy podcasts in the United States. So tip of

20
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,159
the cap. There you go. So today the longtime listeners

21
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,599
to this podcast know that this particular subject is near

22
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:48,760
and dear to my heart, and that is the American

23
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:54,760
education system. Now I'm going to have to provide a

24
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:03,200
supplemental podcast at some point to really help folks understand

25
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:07,239
how deep this goes. So this is obviously layer six

26
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,479
of the matrix, and the Rockefellers how they were able

27
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,599
to infiltrate the same way Gates is able to infiltrate,

28
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:21,759
and the people who are pallunteer are able to infiltrate.

29
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,759
All these corporate entities are able to get into the

30
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,719
government and take this power without being voted on in

31
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:36,919
a country where that's kind of what democracy is supposed

32
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,120
to be. We all get together and we you know,

33
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:43,639
the majority of rules basically, but we really live in

34
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,000
a time now there's nothing different than what King George

35
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:54,120
the Third was. If you have executive privileges and you

36
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:56,520
can put pen to paper and put anything to law,

37
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,080
and people will argue, well, you know, the Supreme Court

38
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:03,680
they can strike down this and that. Let me just

39
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:06,759
tell you something. Just go back a couple episodes ago,

40
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:08,759
or look at the sub stack I wrote last week.

41
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,719
We are not We're not truly you know, the free

42
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,879
country that we claim to be. And at the same time,

43
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,960
I'm not saying that we're North Korea or any of that.

44
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:28,439
I think a lot of Again, the words that are used, right, capitalism, Well,

45
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,639
how can it be a capitalist country if you dictate

46
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560
who stays open and who doesn't. Right, That really ends

47
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,800
the conversation there. But the way they hijack the education system,

48
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,759
and it's incredible all of these things. You don't realize

49
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,319
how important the Civil War was, what a tyrant Lincoln was,

50
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,319
and then that year eighteen seventy one when the United

51
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,000
States became a corporation, because that's really when the education

52
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:01,080
system started to become this private entity under the guise

53
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:06,919
of a public umbrella. So let's get into it. And again,

54
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:13,919
when most people hear discussions about the American education system,

55
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:16,600
you know, they're often told that it began with the

56
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,360
little schools in New England. Now that is partly true,

57
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,639
but long before Washington d c. Became involved, communities educated

58
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,720
their own children. And today I beat this. I know,

59
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,839
I say this all the time, but it's so heartwarming

60
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,120
to drive past our drive past our Amish friends and

61
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,560
see them at lunchtime playing softball. Bare feet, you know,

62
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,600
being grounded and being a young man and running around

63
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:49,759
in the sun, which is really what it was meant

64
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,040
to be. But here's the thing that most of your

65
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:58,079
history books won't tell you so today that your education

66
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:02,399
system is mostly governed by the state you live in,

67
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:07,040
but that Department of Education, they kind of dangle that

68
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,480
character above them. If you want to get this funding,

69
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:12,199
make sure you do this, this, and this now, I

70
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,480
will tell you as liberal as the state of Delaware

71
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,920
is the one thing we have. And again we have

72
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,160
a man who costplays as a woman that holds quite

73
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:28,240
a bit of power in this state. And that's shocking

74
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,319
that in twenty twenty six that that would even be

75
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,920
a thing. Tim McBride is his real name, but he

76
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,319
he costplays and calls himself Sarah. But the fact is

77
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,959
churches played a central role right before nineteen thirty three,

78
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:48,279
when you had somebody falling upon difficult times, they didn't

79
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:52,160
go to the local government office. They went to the church.

80
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:56,800
The churches were the center of the community. And when

81
00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:59,600
you get to the seventies, we'll get to it. You're

82
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,920
going to see exactly how they subverted the communities and

83
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:11,600
just destroyed it. So you had the churches, the parents,

84
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,839
You had states such as Massachusetts, they were really the

85
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,959
first big one. They developed the public schools, and then

86
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:23,040
you had the quote unquote reformers like Horace Mann who

87
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:27,439
promoted what became known as today's you know, school movement.

88
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:32,439
So by the mid eighteen hundreds, many northern communities in

89
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,439
the Thirteen Colonies, they had already had tax supported public education. Okay,

90
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:42,800
but that's not the story we're told to focus on.

91
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,519
That's really the question isn't when the schools first appeared.

92
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,040
The question is when education began moving from a local

93
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:03,040
community responsibility toward this state and national system with centralized goals.

94
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,560
And that is the key here. Now we're going to

95
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,879
go to eighteen seventy one, and it's interesting because they

96
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,480
always say eighteen seventy one. The Civil War ended in

97
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:17,720
eighteen sixty five, so there's always that six year gap there,

98
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:19,839
and that's something that we're going to be talking about

99
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,680
in the near future as well. This below the surface

100
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,439
struggle for power that a certain group infiltrated, but that's

101
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,879
down the road. So reconstruction, when the Organic Act, you know,

102
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,399
when all that came about, you had reconstruction all of this,

103
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,639
these things started to blossom. You had the United States

104
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:52,279
Office of Education. Officially, its purpose was modest, just like

105
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000
right in seventeen eighty seven, we're going to replace the

106
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,360
Articles of Confederation with this constitution. We're going to just

107
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:02,439
a little bit of federal power. You'll never even notice it, right,

108
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,680
it's always under the guise of that right, it was

109
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,240
just gathering statistics. We're just going to track educational outcomes.

110
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,920
We're going to provide information to fellow states to see what,

111
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,600
you know, if Rhode Island's doing really well, we want

112
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,680
to share that information with Pennsylvania. It had no direct

113
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,839
authority to force policies on anyone. Education remained a largely

114
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,120
state and local matter. Yet you know the deal, guys.

115
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:37,039
History always shows that major transformations begin with these little

116
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:43,480
institutions that appear small and harmless, and they're here to help. Now.

117
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:49,840
First comes the collection of information, then comes the identification problems,

118
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:57,480
then the recommendation of solutions, and then standards emerge all

119
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:01,879
of these things. And the Office of Education didn't instantly

120
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,440
create some national school system. Here's what it did do.

121
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:11,519
It created this mechanism through which the education could increasingly

122
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,799
be studied, measured, compared, and basically be shaped on a

123
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,960
broader scale more than ever before now. At the time,

124
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,919
educational goals were varied dramatically from state to state. You

125
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,000
had Massachusetts, they had one set of priorities. The Southern

126
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:32,759
States obviously recovering from war, they had a whole other

127
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,159
set of priorities. Then you had your Western territories. They

128
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,120
were facing entirely different challenges. So there was no true

129
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,320
national consensus on what education should accomplish. And I want

130
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,720
you to think about that. Okay, they have basically made

131
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:56,440
this concentration of education across our country. But every family

132
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,879
and every community have different needs. So why aren't if

133
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:05,279
you live in a rural community those education system that

134
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,799
should offer you know, you have your four ah clubs

135
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:10,279
and things of that. In nature, Why aren't you, like

136
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,480
my daughter, raising chickens, tilling the land, you know, the

137
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:17,159
corn and the beets and all of the other things

138
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,200
that go along with it. If you know how to

139
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,840
grow your own food, that's what they don't want you

140
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:27,360
to do. They want you to rely on the system. Right,

141
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:30,360
And I still believe there's going to come a time

142
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,360
in the next ten years when they're going to really

143
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,759
hammer down on backyard chickens, where if you go back

144
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:38,919
to the twenties and thirties, there were the government actually

145
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:42,240
paid for magazine space to telling people, you know, raise

146
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:44,759
your own chickens. You should have. Was it one chicken

147
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:47,879
per person in the family, right, because your average chicken,

148
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,600
or maybe it was two to one, I forget what

149
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:52,080
it was. But you have your own eggs, you have

150
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:56,919
your own food, you raise meat birds eight to ten weeks,

151
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:01,559
I'm telling you get fifteen birds from Murray's right, and

152
00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:05,879
fifteen weeks later you have your own homegrown chickens. Now,

153
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:08,840
not all of you are able to pull that off.

154
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,279
I certainly get that, but there are so many ways

155
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,080
you can hack the system. But again, sorry, this is

156
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,960
what makes this particular moment so important. Now as we

157
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,600
go through this episode, and we've talked a lot over

158
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:26,000
the years about the education system, but we're going to

159
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:30,639
ask a question that few people have ever even stopped

160
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:39,480
to consider, and that is, when education becomes standardized, who

161
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:42,840
determines the standards? And I know you've heard that said

162
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,159
many times on this right. When public speech becomes questioned,

163
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:52,240
when free free speech parton me right, who is the adjudicator.

164
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,799
Oh no, that's hate speech. Well who says, Because now again,

165
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,480
if you put revelation to or three to nine into

166
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:07,799
many social media platforms, you will get suspended. So again,

167
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,639
they are slowly normalizing, and that's what they do. They

168
00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:18,080
are slowly normalizing the abstention of the Bible. Now when

169
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,320
history is taught, and we know who controls the history books,

170
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,200
who gets to decide which stories are emphasized and which

171
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,240
you're forgotten? Again, I had no idea about the USS

172
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,960
Liberty until I had an advanced history two class in

173
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,440
Texas A and M. And it was a paragraph. It

174
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,480
was a paragraph about Israel's accidental, you know, shooting of

175
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,759
the USS Liberty and duds in my history books. So

176
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,879
of course I believed it, you know, And then you

177
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:54,039
start to open your eyes, you kind of sneak into

178
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,159
the truth community, and then you find these websites about

179
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:01,440
the USS Liberty. And then a couple of years later,

180
00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:06,080
I had two of the survivors on this podcast telling

181
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,279
the true story, and that was such an eye opener.

182
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,120
And then I realized too. There were many times when

183
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:16,000
I was in Iraq, we'd be on a mission, whether

184
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:20,639
it was operations Swarmer or what went down with Saddam right,

185
00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:24,120
And we'd go to the chow hal or we'd look

186
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:28,360
on our little computer on the CNN dot com or whatever,

187
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,480
and we're like, wow, that's not really how it went down.

188
00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:34,720
And then you start to understand that they have to

189
00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:41,279
form that narrative. And you know, history is his story,

190
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,080
the victor's story. So and then again, you know, like

191
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,360
we said, when history is taught, who decides which stories

192
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,519
get printed in the history book? But this is one

193
00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:57,679
step further. When education becomes standardized, who determines the standards?

194
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,039
Speaker 1: Right?

195
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: So the battle for education has never been about the reading, writing,

196
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:07,200
and arithmetic, or the three hours as they used to

197
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,679
call it. It has always been about shaping the minds

198
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,240
of the next generation. And I'll tell you, boy, and

199
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:16,320
I know there's somebody out there listening right now that

200
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,559
understands what I'm about to say. I've had many close

201
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:28,559
friends who their child were good, god fearing Christians and

202
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,200
then went off to college and came back four years

203
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:37,360
later a completely transformed person, different set of values. And

204
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:42,639
that's is that really what college is supposed to be about? Now?

205
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:45,559
Is the nineteenth century, you know, gave way into the

206
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,679
twentieth century. In the early nineteen hundreds, the education in

207
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,960
America it entered a brand new phase. So we saw

208
00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:58,120
wealth on a scale never seen before started flowing into

209
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,960
these schools and universities and foundations, educational organizations, and of

210
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,000
course the teachers Union. I'd argue that's probably the second

211
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:14,120
or third toughest union in the country. Now. At the

212
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,039
center of that transformation was John D. Rockefeller, and through

213
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,960
the General Education Board, which was established in nineteen oh two,

214
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,279
Rockefeller money became one of the most influential forces in

215
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,600
all of American education. What had once been largely local,

216
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,360
community and church centered increasingly found itself connected to foundations,

217
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,320
to boards, to the quote unquote experts like we saw

218
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,399
in twenty twenty, and administrators operating far beyond the town's square.

219
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:54,039
So the General Education Board didn't emerge from this gathering

220
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,639
of school teachers. Actually, I should probably stop for a second.

221
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,200
I told you we need to have a supplemental podcast

222
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:06,480
in the very near future. It'll probably be the early July.

223
00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:11,360
But I will tell you the Rockefeller Foundation, anybody can pull.

224
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,159
Their last filing was twenty twenty four, and their net

225
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,480
assets alone five and a half billion with the b dollars.

226
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:26,480
So again, these nonprofits are merely shells for the controlling elites.

227
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:29,480
Whatever term hidden hand whatever. They're not very hidden when

228
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,440
you say their name, but you get it right that

229
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,320
you know they use these billions and what it is.

230
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,480
They take the corporate money, they shuffle it in here,

231
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:42,799
and then they use this money to control the minds

232
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,480
in the future, to bring about this one world government,

233
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,639
you know, the endgame, right. But these General Education Board

234
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:59,000
once again, it emerged from meetings attended by these financiers, industrialists, bankers, educators.

235
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,840
You had names such as Frederick T. Gates, Daniel Gilman,

236
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:10,200
George Foster, Peabody yep, that Peabody, Morris, Jessup, Walter Page,

237
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,759
and all of these surround the Rockefeller family. Pardon me,

238
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:19,960
as these plans were laid for new educational vision, just

239
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:23,359
like the meeting a jeckyel Island, right, how we're going

240
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:30,960
to move forward? So these men moved comfortably between banking, philanthropy,

241
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,920
academia and all these little government circles, and they viewed

242
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,799
society as something that should be studied, organized and managed

243
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:43,720
and controlled. Now I know we've said the name Frederick

244
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,000
Gates many times on this podcast. He became one of

245
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:50,880
the most influential figures in this effort. Gate was more

246
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,079
than an advisor to Rockefeller. He was an architect of

247
00:17:54,119 --> 00:18:00,480
philanthropy strategy. He understood that lasting influences did not come

248
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,440
from building businesses. It came from shaping institutions. The universities,

249
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,799
which is such a big one, and then the one

250
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,160
we've talked about many times, to the medical schools, right,

251
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,039
and if you want to have a certified medical school,

252
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,640
you have to get that Rockefeller approval. Now, education systems, right,

253
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,559
they shape the future citizens. So a generation raised under

254
00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:33,599
a particular worldview often accepts its assumptions without question. So

255
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,680
the influence over education extends far beyond the classroom and

256
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:43,519
reaches into government, media, science, business, and even culture itself.

257
00:18:43,599 --> 00:18:48,640
So the early twentieth century it witnessed the rise of

258
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:55,079
enormous foundations that possessed resources rivaling those of governments around

259
00:18:55,079 --> 00:19:01,119
the world, truly rivaling some countries GDPs. So the Rockefellers

260
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,559
it was not just education obviously, medicine, agriculture, public health,

261
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,720
social research, and their supporters described these efforts as modernization

262
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,880
and progress. Their critics saw something different. They understood that

263
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:25,400
this private wealth was exercising extraordinary influence over public life.

264
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:31,680
They saw how unelected officials helping determine what should be taught,

265
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:37,519
what should be funded, what should be studied, what or

266
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:43,000
how the children's minds should be molded. And these are

267
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,559
not generally morally good people. Now, as these networks expanded,

268
00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:57,519
education increasingly shifted towards standardization, credentialing, and administration. So the

269
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,160
emphasis moved away from local trade and towards systems managed

270
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,400
by experts. All these schools started to reflect one another.

271
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:13,319
The curriculum became centralized. The testing, right the end of

272
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,359
the year, we all have that standardized test to see

273
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,119
how the school did. And then they started doing credentialing,

274
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:23,160
and all these things were ways to get you to

275
00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:27,279
conform to a certain way. Right, we're going to get

276
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:30,119
you to hear in order you to get here, you

277
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,480
have to go to four years of school, which we're

278
00:20:32,519 --> 00:20:34,680
going to mold your mind. And oh, by the way,

279
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,799
we're going to set you back one hundred thousand dollars

280
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:40,440
in debt. And again I've said this millions of time

281
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:44,759
we pay for our own demise. It's one hundred percent.

282
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:51,160
True credentials became a gateway for employment and advancement, and

283
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,039
a person's ability to navigate institutions became as important as wisdom,

284
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,880
character or even independent thoughts. So this transformation occurred alongside

285
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,119
the growth of very powerful institutions, right you hear when

286
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,799
you think about these big organizations, you think of banks,

287
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,599
major corporations and things like that. But when you understand

288
00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:21,000
that the gross net of education, you look at just

289
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:24,519
a couple of these Ivy League schools and how much

290
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:28,880
they're worth, it's mind blowing, it truly is. Now. The

291
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,000
thing is, you're going to see the same names appearing

292
00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:35,920
on the same boards, commissions, advisory groups. It's always that

293
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,720
same circle of influential people who possess the extraordinary ability

294
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:45,079
to shape public policy. And we see it today here

295
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,960
in twenty twenty six. Generations of students pass through remarkably

296
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,880
similar systems across the country. They consume the same narratives,

297
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:57,640
and they come out of school with the same assumptions

298
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,880
about authority. Well, I got to follow the rules. I

299
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,279
can't think freely. History. We're told we've won every war

300
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,440
and the good guys always win. And you know, you

301
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,519
don't get the truth. You don't read about the Helota

302
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:18,319
more and the Cayton massacre, and why the truth about

303
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,559
why Mare, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, What really happened

304
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,000
all of these things? Right? Whoever shapes the worldview of

305
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:37,880
children genuinely shapes the worldview of tomorrow's leaders, teachers, pastors, judges, journalists,

306
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,680
and parents. And we were blessed enough to put on

307
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:46,200
the glasses that God offered to us in twenty twenty.

308
00:22:46,839 --> 00:22:49,279
And you know, ten fifteen years ago, I would have

309
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:53,200
told you I'd be the last guy who would have homeschooled.

310
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,559
That was such a major decision for myself and my wife.

311
00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:04,319
It's it seems overwhelming, But when you actually take a

312
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,519
step to change your life and you start to notice

313
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,559
the changes in that person and understand even the Bible

314
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:15,240
tells us that, you know, it's our responsibility to shape

315
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:20,640
our children's mind, it just becomes we have normalized so

316
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:28,079
many of these things, right, and we can't continue to

317
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,200
do the same thing and expect things to change right.

318
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:39,759
And the reality explains why education has always been really

319
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:44,319
contested ground. The battle for schools has never been confined

320
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:48,240
to textbooks and lessons plans, because it reaches into questions

321
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,960
of truth, morality, history, faith, authority, even the direction of

322
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,279
our country itself one hundred percent. And now you see

323
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,880
some of the things that go on in these public schools,

324
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,759
the you know, the pride flags that hang in classrooms,

325
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:13,640
and if you don't accept, you know, the Sadamite next

326
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,720
to you, then you that equals hate. When the Bible

327
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:21,680
clearly states if you see somebody sinning, rebuke them, and

328
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:26,480
if they repent, forgive them. God never told you to

329
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:31,240
stand by and watch sin happen without saying anything. One

330
00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:36,880
hundred percent. So if Rockefeller money supplied the fuel, John

331
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,319
Dewey supplied the philosophy. Dewey is widely regarded as the

332
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,119
father of progressive education in America, and his influence on

333
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:53,759
teacher colleges, universities, how they develop the curriculum and the

334
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:59,359
educational theory can't be overstated. He is really a large

335
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,920
reason why we have these huge progressive liberal colleges in

336
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:11,839
our world today because for generations educators have been trained

337
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,799
in systems shaped by his ideas. It went from teaching

338
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,599
math to teaching Marxism. Do we believe education should play

339
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,359
a central role in shaping society. He viewed schools not

340
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,839
simply as places where facts were transmitted from one generation

341
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:36,039
to the next. But Dewey was all about using school

342
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:42,039
as an instrument for creating a new social order. Where

343
00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:44,960
have you heard that term before? So he saw classrooms

344
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000
as laboratories, and children became subjects of this educational theory,

345
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,000
and society itself became something to be engineered through education.

346
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160
And he's the one who really do he did to

347
00:25:58,319 --> 00:26:01,559
start to reach out side the realm of what a

348
00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:02,359
school should be.

349
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: Right.

350
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: We think for school, it's a place where you go.

351
00:26:05,319 --> 00:26:09,559
Obviously you're respectful to the teachers, but you're there to learn, right.

352
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,440
The three ares, reading, writing, and arithmetic. But Dewey was

353
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,519
the one who's like, now, I think that's a great

354
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:21,480
place to capture the minds of the children. And you know,

355
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,319
social reform is really a great place that we can

356
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,599
use the school for this social reform. He made a

357
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,119
case that the importance of education right not only is

358
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,119
a place to gain knowledge, but as a place to

359
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:44,960
learn to live. So, in his eyes, the purpose of

360
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:50,880
education shouldn't revolve around the acquisition of a predetermined set

361
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:56,200
of skills, but realize the once potential and the ability

362
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,680
to use those schools for the or the skills. I

363
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,079
should say for the greater good. And anytime you hear

364
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,279
that quote for the greater good, you know that. You

365
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:13,519
know they're talking about Marxism and communism. It's these people

366
00:27:13,559 --> 00:27:16,240
who get involved. And again, shame on us. Right if

367
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:21,160
you listen to Bill Cooper's classic audio Sunday Night, it's it.

368
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,759
You know, if somebody, if there's a group of people

369
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:26,880
controlling us, shame on us for allowing it to happen.

370
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,319
That's the bottom line. A lot of people don't get

371
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,960
we allow it to happen. And yeah, we go on

372
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,839
social media and we get mad and type our things

373
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,960
out there. But it's just as easy to you know,

374
00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:43,519
find like minded people and walk away from the system.

375
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,599
For generations, educators have been trained in systems shaped by

376
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:54,279
his ideas. So again, for centuries, you know, education in

377
00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:59,440
America rested on a completely different foundation. The Bible was

378
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,359
the central place in learning. So these children had a good,

379
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:09,240
centered moral compass, and students were taught the truth that

380
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,319
existed independent of human opinion. Because that's the problem in

381
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,880
most of these schools today. These teachers want to use

382
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,640
their opinion and their political thoughts and infuse it in

383
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,039
the education system. So back then, morality flowed from God

384
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,160
rather than government. Human rights came from the creator, not

385
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:35,799
the institutions. The purpose of education was to cultivate wisdom

386
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,839
and character and self discipline and knowledge. As these foundations weakened,

387
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:48,480
a different philosophy emerged. Truth became increasingly subjective, morality became negotiable,

388
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,799
and authority shifted from scripture to experts. The source of

389
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,960
wisdom moved from God's word to professional institutions.

390
00:28:59,359 --> 00:28:59,519
Speaker 3: Now.

391
00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:02,759
Speaker 2: At the same time time, the structure of education increasingly

392
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,119
reflected the needs of an industrial society, So students moved

393
00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:12,440
through schools in age groups. The bells dictated movement right,

394
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,599
just like an industrial society. Even back to Fred Flintstone,

395
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:21,200
Yaba dabado right, four o'clock the bell rings, he flies off.

396
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:32,480
The dinosaur schedules regulated behavior, testing measured compliance with prescribed standards,

397
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:37,400
and how do they judge success well? It depended upon

398
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,799
giving approved answers rather than asking the difficult questions, So

399
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,279
independent thought became secondary to mastering the system itself. So

400
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:52,559
a child quickly learned that challenging assumptions could create problems

401
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:59,799
while repeating accepted conclusions produced rewards. And that ladies and gentlemen,

402
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:08,279
just when a child learns that challenging assumptions creates problems

403
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:16,039
while repeating accepted conclusions produces rewards. That's why we're we're

404
00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:20,319
in the predicament we're in. When you try to tell

405
00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:23,920
someone the truth about nine to eleven Oklahoma City, you

406
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:32,400
name it, you get the zombie stare because they're not

407
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:38,160
used to challenging assumptions. And they've repeated ten thousand times,

408
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:43,920
you know, in fourteen ninety two Columbus ail the ocean blue.

409
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:49,319
Anything different. They just won't believe you. And all of

410
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:52,799
these evil things that they've perpetrated on us, the lie

411
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:55,359
about going to the moon, the lie of the Gulf

412
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:01,160
of Talking, allowing Pearl Harbor to happen, then al Sabahize,

413
00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:04,480
the weapons of mass destructions, all those lies. We're the

414
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,359
ones who pay for them. They lie, We suffer in

415
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,400
normal life when you get caught lying, you're the one

416
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,039
who pays the consequences. You tell me the last time

417
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,279
a politician at the top of the food chain lied

418
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,559
and paid the price. Let's talk a little bit about

419
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:26,359
behavioral psychology. Because that added another layer to the process.

420
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,559
You have. Researchers such as Ivan Pavlov and Skinner explored

421
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:35,039
how behavior could be conditioned through rewards and punishments and

422
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:40,319
repetition and even environmental control. They're finding spread far beyond

423
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:45,680
psychological departments, right, Elements of behavioral conditioning found their way

424
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:51,279
into classrooms, institutions, workplaces, and of course government programs. And

425
00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:55,680
human behavior increasingly became something to be managed and measured

426
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:01,759
and modified. So the language of conditioning and educational theory

427
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,440
often placing these older concepts such as virtue, character, and

428
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:13,440
of course moral responsibility. So over time, critical thinking often

429
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:19,359
gave way to informational consumption. So here you go. You

430
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,759
had students who became experts at memorize and content for

431
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,799
examinations and then quickly forgetting it afterward. How many times,

432
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,200
like for me, even when I was studying for the board. Right,

433
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,759
you go to a promotion board, you have to say

434
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:38,839
the nco creed right now, one is more professional than I.

435
00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:41,960
I am a noncommissioned officer. Right, you give this whole thing,

436
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
and then they ask you what are the five colors

437
00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:48,279
on a map? And all these questions and Sergeant Major

438
00:32:48,359 --> 00:32:51,319
the five colors on a map are right, but when

439
00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:54,039
you're done, it's like purge. And it was the same

440
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,680
for me in high school. A lot, a lot of

441
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:04,039
these classes you study, study, regurgitate, purge, study, study, study, regarditate, purge. Right.

442
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,279
Over time, I should say many could recite approved narratives,

443
00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:16,680
but they struggled to evaluate these competing claims. Say they

444
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:21,359
learned what conclusions were acceptable before learning how to investigate

445
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:28,160
evidence independently, and curiosity became constrained by curriculum. Inquiry became

446
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,240
constrained by grading systems, and the student who repeated the

447
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:38,799
lesson frequently advanced, and the student who questioned the lesson

448
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:43,599
created friction. And when you're nine, ten, eleven, twelve years

449
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,160
old and on pardon the allergies are bad today, but

450
00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:49,839
when you're that age, you don't want to be the

451
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,400
guy who sticks out questions autharty and get mocked, especially

452
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,319
at that age. And the people who created this education

453
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,079
system they understood that. So history is let's talk about

454
00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:05,880
history itself. That became a primary battleground. Right, Every society

455
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,400
has their own stories. The stories selected for classrooms shape

456
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,639
how future generations understood the world. You had historical figures

457
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:19,760
that are elevated and diminished, events are emphasized or ignored.

458
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,159
And again you talk about the USS liberty. You have

459
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:30,119
entire subjects that can disappear from public awareness simply from

460
00:34:30,119 --> 00:34:37,719
be excluded from a textbook. So most students never examine

461
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,559
primary sources. Most never compare competing interpretations. And it's sad

462
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:46,239
that for me, as a researcher, how I have to

463
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:52,480
go to yandex even has been compromised. But you basically

464
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,760
have to go into a search engine and then automatically

465
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:58,599
go five pages down and start looking there because the

466
00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:01,679
first five pages are going to be gatekeeping narratives, right,

467
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,920
So they receive history through institutional institutional pardon me filters

468
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,239
and often assume that those filters are neutral. So by adulthood,

469
00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:16,679
many possess strong opinions about events they've never personally investigated.

470
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:20,840
So over the next few days, I am putting to

471
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:28,639
pen to paper the test of asking strangers how many

472
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,559
buildings fell in New York City on September the eleventh.

473
00:35:33,639 --> 00:35:37,280
I have a little pen and paper and not names,

474
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,159
just I think I'm just going to do male, female

475
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,440
and like age group. And it's not going to be

476
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,679
like forty to forty nine, it'll be a young person,

477
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,599
middle aged or older. I'm just going to keep those

478
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:52,480
little notes and I'm going to say, hey, how you doing.

479
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,320
I'm just taking a little survey for a project. I'm

480
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,519
doing how many buildings fell in New York City on

481
00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:02,079
September eleven, two thousand and one, And I really want

482
00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:06,000
to see if it's in the ninety percent area that

483
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,320
people say just too like how many people are awake

484
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,800
to building seven and those type of things. I think

485
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,000
it'll be interesting and I'll report that back to you

486
00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:18,039
next week. So universities expanded these patterns, and higher education

487
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:24,639
increasingly became the gatekeeper for professional advancement. So again, degrees

488
00:36:25,159 --> 00:36:28,920
became passports into careers. And I can't tell you how

489
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:35,199
many people I know who own businesses or are super

490
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:38,039
smart people that would be the best fit for the job,

491
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:40,760
but because they didn't spend that money and get that degree,

492
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,039
well they can't take that position. Even here in Delaware,

493
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:47,039
to be a chaplain in a prison, you know, you

494
00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:49,639
got to have a master's and to do this, you

495
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:57,559
have to do this. It's really an organized ring. It

496
00:36:57,639 --> 00:37:00,000
really is. And when you look at the textbook industy

497
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,079
for colleges. Get out of here. What did my wife

498
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:07,239
say the other day, twelve hundred dollars for her that

499
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,559
one nursing book, and that was eleven years ago. You

500
00:37:11,639 --> 00:37:18,280
think it is now so psychological labeling, Let's talk about

501
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,760
that for a minute. That became another tool. Human struggles,

502
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:27,199
once viewed through moral, spiritual, social lenses, increasingly became categorized

503
00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:31,800
through clinical terminology and brothers and sisters. That's one of

504
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,360
the reasons why everybody's on a medication today. Right, Some

505
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,480
diagnosis undoubtedly helped people receive need of treatment and support.

506
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:43,320
I do not deny that. I wanted to make that

507
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:49,599
clear up front. However, labels carry immense power. A label

508
00:37:49,639 --> 00:37:52,559
can follow a person for years. And I know people

509
00:37:52,599 --> 00:37:55,079
who have been psycho who have been on psychotropics for

510
00:37:55,079 --> 00:37:59,000
twenty years and it's causing obvious wear and tear on

511
00:37:59,039 --> 00:38:03,840
their psyche. These labels, both whether it's medical or clinical,

512
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:13,159
they shape self perception and they can influence expectations. It

513
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,039
determines how institutions respond to an individual. So you look

514
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:24,679
at this institution influence expanded. Right, parents found themselves displaced

515
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:31,239
from their historic role as the primary educators of their children. Okay,

516
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:38,719
churches experienced a similar decline and influence, and twenty twenty

517
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:44,519
completely now in the coffin into these churches. And I've

518
00:38:44,559 --> 00:38:47,920
been talking to one of my best friends in life,

519
00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:52,360
and I've really considered just kind of grasping the audio

520
00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:58,519
from certain sermons from around me, who you know, broadcast

521
00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:02,440
on YouTube and Facebook. Just clip the sermon, not tell

522
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,119
you the name of the church, not tell you the

523
00:39:04,159 --> 00:39:06,519
name of the pastor, because I'm not judging their heart,

524
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:11,239
but i want to show you what is being preached here.

525
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,800
And maybe that's par for the course in twenty twenty six.

526
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,920
Maybe some of you will be blown away like I am.

527
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,639
Maybe it's just something I want to start doing these

528
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,119
kind of And again it's not to I'm not here

529
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:28,599
to be smirch any other pastors. I'm not here to

530
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:33,000
say I'm a better pastor than you. But it's very

531
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,559
clear when the church loses mission and it's not central

532
00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:39,119
to the community anymore, what are they really doing. If

533
00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:41,519
you're a church and you have eleven people coming every week,

534
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,760
why aren't you just meeting at your house and give

535
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,840
that church to somebody who's going to make a difference

536
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:52,440
in the world. So the lessons came from home congregations,

537
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:59,800
and these community relationships increasingly shifted to this state approved

538
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:06,599
riculum with credentialed experts and media platforms. Doctor was it

539
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,960
the science guy? Right, Bill Ny, the science Guy, and

540
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,320
the other knucklehead right they used to wield. I think

541
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,960
it was in the nineties. It was after when I

542
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,360
went to school, But I guess in the nineties they'd

543
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,960
wheeled the TV into the room and everybody watched Bill

544
00:40:20,039 --> 00:40:27,039
Ny the Science Guy. And you start to understand that

545
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:31,199
we've taken our children and given them to the state,

546
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,159
and we're allowing the state to mold the minds of

547
00:40:34,199 --> 00:40:37,119
the next generation. And then we can't figure out why

548
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:41,719
people are so happy and are not happy. They're they're

549
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:47,039
so compliant. They're okay with shutting down the church. They're

550
00:40:47,199 --> 00:40:49,760
okay with shutting down their mom and pop businesses, as

551
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,480
long as the door dash doesn't get shut down, as

552
00:40:53,519 --> 00:40:55,840
long as they don't close the liquor stores, and as

553
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,480
long as they can order their harmonica from Amazon and

554
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,400
have it here tomorrow morning from seven am to eleven am.

555
00:41:03,559 --> 00:41:06,599
And look, guilty is charged with Amazon. I'm just saying

556
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:12,000
hypocrite there one hundred percent. But if it meant going back,

557
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,760
I would that's something I would give of course I

558
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:18,400
would give that up an RM beat. But the child

559
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:25,119
spent thousands of hours under institutional instruction while receiving only

560
00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:29,519
a fraction of that time under biblical teaching. And what

561
00:41:29,559 --> 00:41:35,239
we see today shouldn't surprise anyone. And again, the voice

562
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,159
heard most often usually becomes the voice believed most readily.

563
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:46,320
So today, here's the thing. When these children leave school today,

564
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,880
when these young adults, I should say, leave school today,

565
00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:52,519
they leave school knowing how to pass the test. Just

566
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:56,559
think about that statement for a second. Thirteen years in

567
00:41:56,639 --> 00:42:01,880
school if you count kindergarten, fourteen pre K. They know

568
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,559
how to pass a test, But they know do they

569
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:08,800
know how to navigate life? Like many of you, we

570
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,800
were never taught how to do our taxes. We just

571
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,639
get thrown out there and if you mess up, you

572
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:17,800
pay the price. Right. We know how to pass tests,

573
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,079
navigate bureaucracy. We know how to stand in line at

574
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:27,679
the driver's license right the DoD. We know how to

575
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:33,519
repeat the approved narratives. But man, too many people struggle

576
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:40,199
to identify the logical fallacies. The obvious lies come on man,

577
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,280
we didn't go to the moon. Get that garbage out

578
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,159
of our history books, right. Train these children critical skills.

579
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:52,239
You have fifty bucks, you got to get from Philly

580
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,639
to Boston. How can you do it? Examine original sources,

581
00:42:56,039 --> 00:43:02,280
construct coherent arguments, understand biblical doctrine. Today we're going to

582
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,519
learn how to recognize propaganda. When you hear a term

583
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:12,519
repeated by the multiple organizations that are supposedly on different sides,

584
00:43:12,519 --> 00:43:14,719
but they pair it the same narrative, Ladies and gentlemen,

585
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:21,719
that's probably propaganda. Okay. They've been taught to consume information,

586
00:43:23,199 --> 00:43:26,239
but they haven't been taught to challenge it. And they've

587
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:31,440
been taught to trust the government and trust institutions don't

588
00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:37,599
question them, and they've been trained to seek credentials rather

589
00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:41,719
than wisdom. Let's continue on. The battle for the minds

590
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,079
of children didn't just begin yesterday. It has unfolded over

591
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:50,639
many generations, and the organizations in play include wealthy foundations,

592
00:43:51,159 --> 00:43:56,559
government agencies, universities, and all of these professional institutions. They've

593
00:43:56,599 --> 00:44:01,039
all played a role in shaping the modern educational landscape.

594
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:07,239
And anytime there's a population who is increasingly dependent upon

595
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:13,519
the experts is indeed a culture that is increasingly detached

596
00:44:13,519 --> 00:44:17,280
from its biblical roots, so citizens condition to look outward

597
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:24,239
for answers rather than upward to God. So what we're

598
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,639
saying here is you have a generation fluent in information,

599
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:35,840
but oftentimes unfamiliar with wisdom. And Paul's warning to the

600
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,199
church at Colossi sounds as relevant as it did two

601
00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:43,679
thousand years ago. He said, beware lest any man spoil

602
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:50,440
you through philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men,

603
00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:54,280
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

604
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:59,840
So the struggle has always been over truth. Whoever defines

605
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,760
the the truth shapes the future, and whoever shapes the

606
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,000
minds of the children shapes the nation that follows. Well,

607
00:45:08,039 --> 00:45:10,920
that's probably one of the reasons our nation is such

608
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,079
a hot mess right now. So one of the most

609
00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:17,000
effective ways to shape the future is to get people

610
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,119
to understand the past and to shape people how to

611
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,320
understand that. So every generation learns history. How do they

612
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:32,559
learn it? Teachers, textbooks, universities. Here's the thing. Most students

613
00:45:32,679 --> 00:45:36,440
never read the original documents or compare the competing accounts.

614
00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:42,159
They learn approved narratives, and they're simply tested on their

615
00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:46,320
ability to repeat them. So again, the consequences extend far

616
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,679
beyond the classroom. A population unfamiliar with its own history

617
00:45:51,519 --> 00:45:55,519
becomes easier to manipulate. So when you have people who

618
00:45:55,559 --> 00:46:01,639
don't understand how these institutions gain power, well, they rarely

619
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:08,039
question why those institutions possess such power today, And historical

620
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:13,559
ignorance creates dependency. If people don't know where they came from,

621
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:19,519
once again, they become dependent upon experts to explain where

622
00:46:19,519 --> 00:46:22,880
they're going. So this whole pattern has been accompanied by

623
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,480
a steady decline in critical thinking. Students spend years preparing

624
00:46:27,559 --> 00:46:35,639
for standardized examinations, yet many struggle to evaluate evidence, identify propaganda,

625
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:42,639
to recognize logical fallacies, or even challenge assumptions. Genuine inquiry

626
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:50,440
frequently takes a backseat to institutional compliance. Now here's the thing,

627
00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:54,360
this is what's kind of on our side. We can

628
00:46:54,480 --> 00:47:01,639
measure their system's success. Now, longtime are going to remember

629
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:07,360
this part. Baltimore City provides one of the starkest examples.

630
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:14,039
According to the twenty twenty four National Assessment of Educational Progress,

631
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:21,719
only thirteen percent of fourth grade students and sixteen percent

632
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:29,119
of eighth grade students performed at or above the proficient

633
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,320
level in reading, and ladies and gentlemen, the word proficient

634
00:47:32,599 --> 00:47:36,079
in the public school system is a very low bar.

635
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,480
That is the most extraordinary failure one could think of,

636
00:47:41,199 --> 00:47:43,760
and look at the eighth grade students. More than half

637
00:47:44,599 --> 00:47:52,159
of Baltimore's eighth grade students scored below the basic the

638
00:47:52,199 --> 00:47:57,880
most basic cat dog the reading level. And it's not

639
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:04,760
just Baltimore, ain't Lewis. Multiple assessments show reading proficiency was

640
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:12,760
right around twenty percent nationally. The pictures equally troubling. Reading

641
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:18,599
scores have been falling for years. Recent NAAEP data showed

642
00:48:18,679 --> 00:48:22,320
continued declines in reading performance across multiple grade levels, with

643
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:28,280
many students unable to demonstrate proficiency in skills considered fundamental

644
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:33,920
for academic success. Yet, we Americans are spending more money

645
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:39,920
on education than ever before. School districts they employ armies

646
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:45,599
of administrators, Universities collect billions intuition and grants and government

647
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:53,920
backed loans. Educational technology fills classrooms, Testing consumes countless hours. So,

648
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,079
like everything else, when the government gets bigger, when the

649
00:48:58,119 --> 00:49:04,480
system grows larger and more expensive and more complex, basic

650
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:10,280
literacy the most basic of skills continue to deteriorate in

651
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:15,440
many communities. It's the system. So a person who struggles

652
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:22,159
to read deeply often struggles to investigate independently. Makes sense, right,

653
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:28,480
A person who can't easily evaluate competing sources while they

654
00:49:28,559 --> 00:49:32,639
become increasingly reliant upon institutions to interpret events for him,

655
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:36,440
and a person who can't think critically becomes vulnerable to

656
00:49:36,519 --> 00:49:42,639
manipulation from politicians, corporations, etc. Etc. Et cetera. That reality

657
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:47,840
explains why literacy and critical thinking are inseparable. Reading isn't

658
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,840
merely an academic skill. It is one of the primary

659
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:57,079
defenses against deception. A population capable of reading original documents

660
00:49:57,079 --> 00:50:01,480
and examining evidence and drawing independent conc inclusions, well, they

661
00:50:01,519 --> 00:50:06,320
become more difficult to control. A population that consumes information

662
00:50:07,159 --> 00:50:13,039
without questioning it becomes remarkably easy to influence. So you

663
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:16,440
think about it. They keep us all in lockstep from

664
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,320
the time we're born until the time we go back

665
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,239
into the ground. Right, we from dust to dust. Right

666
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:29,199
were born. They vaccinate you, and then you're on the

667
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,400
bus back in two and from school for twelve years,

668
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,039
and then you're in the workforce. They keep everything orderly

669
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,639
and at bay. That's the biggest thing. They keep you

670
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:46,079
at bay. And you know, if you believe again the

671
00:50:46,159 --> 00:50:50,239
Founding Father's story. The founders of America understood this principle.

672
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,519
The Reformers understood it. The Church understood it when it

673
00:50:54,599 --> 00:50:59,000
translated the Scripture into common languages for ordinary people, when

674
00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:02,199
the Gutenberg printing press came about and people were able

675
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:07,320
to read for themselves. The ability to read for oneself

676
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:13,920
has always been linked to freedom. The inability to do

677
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:20,360
so has always benefited those seeking power over others. And

678
00:51:20,639 --> 00:51:25,840
in this world we live in where people blindly defend

679
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:32,280
things they know absolutely nothing of. I've had people who

680
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,039
have never left this state try to debate me on

681
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:42,079
Middle Eastern geopolitics. I spent six years of my life

682
00:51:42,159 --> 00:51:45,280
over there. I lived with them, and people try to

683
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,639
debate me and tell me I'm wrong. That's because of

684
00:51:48,679 --> 00:51:51,079
what they've been taught in school. Are you kidding me?

685
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,880
One of the greatest casualties of modern education has been

686
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:03,079
critical thinking. And I've of you to I know every

687
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,880
one of us has those rabbit holes. We don't want

688
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,000
to look down because we're afraid we're going to be

689
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:15,039
labeled man. Once that veil is dropped from your eyes.

690
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:18,440
You understand everything so much easier. All the fear is gone.

691
00:52:19,199 --> 00:52:23,679
But the ability to ask questions and challenge assumptions, examine evidence,

692
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,519
and follow truth wherever it leads has steadily been replaced

693
00:52:29,519 --> 00:52:33,719
by something far more useful to large institutions. That's the

694
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:40,000
C word compliance. A student enters school full of curiosity. Right,

695
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,360
do you remember when you were five or six and

696
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,119
you start school how exciting it was? Now? I know

697
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,880
not for everybody, it might have been intimidating, but I

698
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:55,599
think most humans inherently want to learn now during our time.

699
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,880
This is the part that I think a lot of

700
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,360
people miss. When you're a young man or a boy

701
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,599
turning into a young man, it's very hard to stay

702
00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:11,920
focused on schoolwork. Right. That's why I don't like the

703
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,000
school model today. I loathe it. Keeping a boy in

704
00:53:16,119 --> 00:53:19,480
a chair for seven or eight hours a day, driving

705
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,599
them twenty thirty, forty to fifty minutes to a school,

706
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:29,159
and propagandized all of the things. Not enough exercise, not

707
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,679
out there getting the vitamin D. It's just not a

708
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:39,480
good plan. But they're full of curiosity and they ask

709
00:53:39,559 --> 00:53:46,679
the obvious questions. That gets snuffed out through the school system. Right,

710
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,519
we ask the questions, why is the sky blue? Why

711
00:53:51,559 --> 00:53:55,760
do we do things this way? Why should I believe that? Right?

712
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,119
When you're a child, Right, everybody, when you were in class,

713
00:53:59,159 --> 00:54:03,000
when you were younger, that why why? Always asking why?

714
00:54:04,159 --> 00:54:07,079
And listen, maybe you were that one, and there's a

715
00:54:07,079 --> 00:54:09,400
good chance many of you are. That's why you're listening

716
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,760
to this podcast and not a wrestling podcast or an

717
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:17,679
ice hockey podcast or one of the Hollywood Stars podcasts. Right,

718
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:24,199
But somewhere along the line, many learn that questioning approved narratives,

719
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,079
they carry the consequences, and it's better to memorize the

720
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,920
lesson to get that A on the class so you

721
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,760
can get called up at the end of the market

722
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:44,000
period and get your ribbon. That model produces workers far

723
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:50,519
more efficiently than it produces thinkers. A thinker asks who benefits.

724
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,480
A thinker follows the money. A thinker compares competing explanations.

725
00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:01,400
A thinker reads original documents and notices contradictions, and that

726
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:06,760
person becomes difficult to manipulate because he or she does

727
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:14,840
not automatically accept claims based upon authority alone. So you

728
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,480
look at the difference between a worker and a thinker.

729
00:55:19,039 --> 00:55:23,719
A worker follows instructions well, A thinker asks whether the

730
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:29,559
instructions are justified. A worker accepts the narrative. A thinker

731
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:35,880
investigates the narrative. A worker waits for experts. A thinker

732
00:55:36,119 --> 00:55:50,119
examines the evidence. Large institutions have always preferred workers right. Factories, bureaucracies, corporations, governments.

733
00:55:50,119 --> 00:55:59,880
Economies built on consumption requires workers who will earn, borrow, spend,

734
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:06,119
and repeat. Independent thinkers are far less predictable. We ask

735
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:12,400
uncomfortable questions. Right every time somebody posts something on social media.

736
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,880
We don't just like it because of who said it.

737
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,000
We like the content, not so much the person who

738
00:56:21,039 --> 00:56:25,320
posts it. Look at the podcast industry. I have been

739
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,480
in this industry. When did I start doing the twenty eighteen,

740
00:56:28,519 --> 00:56:34,800
twenty nineteen, just say seven years, okay, seven years, fifteen

741
00:56:35,119 --> 00:56:37,039
hundred or whatever podcast we've done.

742
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: Right.

743
00:56:39,519 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 2: It exists because millions of people have discovered that they

744
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:49,599
are no longer satisfied with these official explanations. Obviously, not

745
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:54,440
every podcast is a critical thinking podcast, but you're seeing

746
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,719
more and more of them. They want to hear different viewpoints,

747
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,280
and they want to hear people asking questions. Is that

748
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,639
the corporate media won't ask whether one agrees with every

749
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,840
alternative voice. Well, that's beside the point. The explosive growth

750
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,320
of podcasts demonstrate a hunger for independent thought that many

751
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:19,719
traditional institutions have failed. Now, the Internet should have really

752
00:57:20,199 --> 00:57:22,519
ushered in a golden age of critical thinking, and it

753
00:57:22,599 --> 00:57:25,480
was a flash in the pan before you know, I

754
00:57:25,519 --> 00:57:28,679
think Google bought YouTube and you know, the wild Wild

755
00:57:28,679 --> 00:57:37,599
West disappeared, right, But you know, many people use this

756
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:42,599
unprecedented access. You know, the first generation that is able

757
00:57:42,679 --> 00:57:45,159
to pull up this you know what is this three

758
00:57:45,199 --> 00:57:50,719
and a half by six inch piece of plastic and

759
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,760
you have access to millions upon millions of podcasts on

760
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,320
YouTube and Spotify at your convenience. Now, listen. When I

761
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:04,199
was twelve thirteen, when I was doing my reports, we

762
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,440
had the library and in my house we had encyclopedias

763
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,760
that we're probably twenty years old, fifteen years old. I

764
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,199
think they were from the mid sixties. I know they

765
00:58:14,199 --> 00:58:17,079
had the jfk assassination in there. And it told me

766
00:58:17,239 --> 00:58:20,639
very madly, matter of factly, that Lee Harvey Oswald was

767
00:58:20,679 --> 00:58:25,119
a lone gunman and that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest

768
00:58:25,159 --> 00:58:28,079
president of all time. I'm not even sure it covered

769
00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:30,159
the moon landing yet, but I wish I still had

770
00:58:30,159 --> 00:58:37,199
those encyclopedias right, So you know, back to this, Students

771
00:58:37,239 --> 00:58:42,000
often graduate with these strong opinions on complex social and

772
00:58:42,039 --> 00:58:47,119
political issues, but the thing is they possess little understanding

773
00:58:47,239 --> 00:58:50,760
of the arguments on the other side. They learn what

774
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,280
position that they should hold before they learn what the

775
00:58:54,280 --> 00:59:00,760
opposing position is. They're trained to identify approved conclusions rather

776
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,800
than evaluate competing evidence. And what I'm getting at here

777
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,239
is that's why, from the matrix's point of view, the

778
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,599
left right paradigm is so successful. That's one of the

779
00:59:11,599 --> 00:59:16,119
greatest things they use to divide us conquered divide us.

780
00:59:17,679 --> 00:59:20,199
But a truly educated person should be able to explain

781
00:59:20,239 --> 00:59:23,159
both sides of an argument fairly, or at least listen

782
00:59:23,239 --> 00:59:27,360
to right. He should understand why reasonable people disagree. He

783
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,360
should be capable of defending his position through evidence and

784
00:59:31,519 --> 00:59:35,920
logic rather than slogans. If I hear hold the line

785
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:37,960
Patriot one more time, I'm going to drop a Macha

786
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:42,800
man elbow on somebody. I'm telling you. But you know,

787
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,119
if you think about it, is ignorance the greatest danger.

788
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,360
I don't know ignorance can be corrected through learning. When

789
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,079
you think about it, I think the greatest danger is

790
00:59:54,119 --> 00:59:58,360
the illusion of knowledge. I think there's some people out

791
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,519
there who watch Bill and the Science Guy, and they

792
01:00:01,559 --> 01:00:06,039
think they're super smart people. A person who knows he

793
01:00:06,159 --> 01:00:12,519
lacks information, they remain teachable. But a person convinced he

794
01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:17,559
already possesses the truth well, they often stop asking questions altogether,

795
01:00:18,639 --> 01:00:23,239
and Scripture repeatedly warns against this trap. Proverbs eighteen seventeen

796
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:27,000
declares that he is first in his own cause seemeth just,

797
01:00:27,679 --> 01:00:31,400
but his neighbor cometh and searcheth him. In other words,

798
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,719
he hears both sides, examines the evidence, tests the claim,

799
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:40,280
and refuses to accept conclusions simply because they're popular. And

800
01:00:40,599 --> 01:00:43,880
that principle sits at the heart of critical thinking. The

801
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,280
battle for education is ultimately a battle over the mind.

802
01:00:48,039 --> 01:00:51,320
A society filled with independent thinkers becomes difficult to deceive,

803
01:00:52,039 --> 01:00:56,519
and a society trained to accept conclusions without examination becomes

804
01:00:56,599 --> 01:01:01,039
vulnerable to every form of manipulation. The future belongs to

805
01:01:01,079 --> 01:01:05,800
whichever group succeeds in shaping how the next generation thinks

806
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:11,480
or what they think at all. Behavioral conditioning is one

807
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:16,119
of the least discussed yet most powerful aspects of modern education.

808
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,840
A child enters school with curiosity, imagination, and a willingness

809
01:01:22,039 --> 01:01:27,480
to challenge what he sees around him, and sadly, year

810
01:01:28,239 --> 01:01:34,960
after year that child is taught to operate within these guardrails.

811
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:41,440
With this increasingly rigid structure, and all critical thinking, probably

812
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,960
by third or fourth grade, is out the door. The

813
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:49,679
bells determined movement, the authorities determine acceptable behavior, and of course,

814
01:01:49,719 --> 01:01:56,400
the tests determine success, and the approved answers are the

815
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:01,760
ones that receive the rewards, and this conditioning creates habits

816
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:06,519
that follow students into adulthood. Many no longer ask whether

817
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:11,480
an authority is correct. They ask whether the authority has credentials.

818
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,280
They no longer seek evidence first. They wait for the

819
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,880
experts to interpret the evidence for them, which means they're

820
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:25,360
not seeking wisdom, they're seeking approval. The university often serves

821
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,400
as the final stage of that process. Right the students

822
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:33,519
arrive on campus after more than a decade of institutional conditioning,

823
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,519
many are away from the home for the first time.

824
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,119
The worldview is still forming, their identity is still being developed,

825
01:02:42,639 --> 01:02:47,559
and this creates an environment where this ideological framework can

826
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:54,639
be introduced with enormous effectiveness, and for decades many university

827
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:59,360
especially here in Delaware, have embraced the theories that are

828
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:04,039
rooted in Marxism traditions, or I should say Marxist traditions.

829
01:03:04,079 --> 01:03:07,760
Pardon me, but the languages may differ from the economic

830
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:12,360
Marxism of the twentieth century, but the framework remains the same.

831
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:18,320
Society is divided into oppressors and the oppressed, and power

832
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:23,079
becomes the primary lens through which history is interpreted. And

833
01:03:23,119 --> 01:03:27,360
that's where all these self loathing, miserable people come from.

834
01:03:28,039 --> 01:03:33,440
These traditional institutions are viewed with suspicion, and inherited beliefs

835
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:39,000
are treated as obstacles to progress. And that's important. Traditional institutions.

836
01:03:39,079 --> 01:03:41,840
I saw on the news. You know, every time you

837
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,760
feel a little bit like, you know, I'd like to

838
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,920
go back into normal land just a little bit, you know,

839
01:03:47,119 --> 01:03:52,800
I how many hours of lectures and preparing and everything

840
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,400
that goes on life. Sometimes you just want to put

841
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,280
your old behind on the sofa and put your feet up,

842
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,800
just for a few minutes and watch an inning or

843
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,800
two of a ballgame. And then the news comes on

844
01:04:05,639 --> 01:04:09,599
and the Commissioner of the MLB is going off on

845
01:04:09,679 --> 01:04:13,199
these guys for putting Bible verses on their pride hats.

846
01:04:13,239 --> 01:04:16,559
I think it was the giants and this is the

847
01:04:16,639 --> 01:04:19,800
latest thing, right, the dividing Conker shout out to. I

848
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,119
think Josh Howley. I just saw before I came back

849
01:04:22,159 --> 01:04:25,960
on and started recording this part too, that he actually

850
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,679
put a letter out. We live in an upside down world.

851
01:04:29,519 --> 01:04:36,079
We truly do, you know. Pride is the reason Lucifer

852
01:04:36,079 --> 01:04:40,480
fell and became Satan. Right, was kicked out of Heaven

853
01:04:41,159 --> 01:04:45,199
Pride before the fall, and they hijacked the Lord's covenant

854
01:04:45,199 --> 01:04:50,239
with us after the flood. And again right, if you

855
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,760
watch mash back in the seventies, Clinger he used to

856
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,239
wear a dress so he could get a Section eight

857
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,920
and get sent home from Korea. Back in the day,

858
01:05:00,039 --> 01:05:04,960
it was declared a mental problem. And now if you

859
01:05:07,039 --> 01:05:12,800
write a Bible verse and don't bow a knee to

860
01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:17,039
men wearing dresses, you are the problem. And that's exactly

861
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:25,079
what they're talking about here. Traditional institutions, right, nuclear families,

862
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,920
they are the bad ones. Students are frequently taught to

863
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:34,880
view family faith, patriotism, free markets, and Western civilization through

864
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:39,159
a framework of systematic oppression and power struggles as if

865
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,480
we're the only country in the world that has had

866
01:05:42,599 --> 01:05:47,760
issues before. History becomes a story of victim groups and

867
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:57,119
oppressor groups, and personal responsibility takes a backseat to structural explanations.

868
01:05:57,159 --> 01:06:02,679
Success is increasingly attributed attributed pardon me, to privilege rather

869
01:06:02,719 --> 01:06:06,519
than discipline, sacrifice, talent, or character. The result is a

870
01:06:06,559 --> 01:06:12,159
worldview that sees conflict everywhere, yet there's no reconciliation. Entire

871
01:06:12,239 --> 01:06:18,280
generations are encouraged to define themselves by grievances instead of gratitude,

872
01:06:19,199 --> 01:06:23,679
and you know, these identity categories that you see rather

873
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:28,079
than individual responsibility. But you know what, we still conquer

874
01:06:28,119 --> 01:06:31,679
all with love. Even I just got home, had lunch

875
01:06:31,719 --> 01:06:35,559
with my best friend of forty years, and we kill

876
01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:38,360
them with kindness, even the people we pray out loud

877
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,960
before we eat. And you know, we don't hate. We love.

878
01:06:42,679 --> 01:06:45,639
That doesn't mean that if you see somebody sinning, you

879
01:06:45,639 --> 01:06:48,280
don't rebuke them, and if they repent, you forgive them.

880
01:06:48,559 --> 01:06:52,000
But at the same time, when we see these people

881
01:06:52,079 --> 01:06:55,800
who have that mindset that they want you to argue

882
01:06:55,840 --> 01:07:00,519
with them, they truly do. And you know, when you

883
01:07:00,559 --> 01:07:04,840
come upon those situations you realize how the irony is

884
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,159
so difficult to ignore because you have all these students

885
01:07:07,239 --> 01:07:11,000
leaving universities and they champion these ideologies. Number One, they

886
01:07:11,039 --> 01:07:13,840
don't even fully grasp it's because they want to be

887
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:15,920
part of a club, feel part of a group. But

888
01:07:16,039 --> 01:07:22,159
they have failed repeatedly throughout history. Marxist systems produce poverty.

889
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:27,440
Listen to all these things. This list I came up with, poverty, censorship, surveillance,

890
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:32,840
political repression, labor camps, mass death. Whatever they gain power

891
01:07:33,599 --> 01:07:37,000
were to labor camps. We're on the cusp of labor camps.

892
01:07:37,559 --> 01:07:40,719
And when all the people say there's no way that

893
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,639
will ever happen, man, and you say, oh yes, it

894
01:07:43,679 --> 01:07:48,400
already did eighty years ago, Genius, It already happened, and

895
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,639
it will again. You don't take that mark of the beast,

896
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:57,519
You're gone. They're going to take your property, and most people,

897
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,519
sadly will fold under pressure. And here I am talking

898
01:08:01,559 --> 01:08:04,239
about it. It's gonna be a whole different world. You know.

899
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,679
I didn't take the jab, but I've said, and I'm

900
01:08:06,679 --> 01:08:08,599
being frank and honest with you as open as I

901
01:08:08,599 --> 01:08:10,719
can be. If I was still in the military in

902
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,039
twenty nineteen where I'm sorry it was say, I guess

903
01:08:14,199 --> 01:08:16,199
the job started at the end of twenty twenty early

904
01:08:16,239 --> 01:08:20,159
twenty twenty one. I retired in twenty fifteen. But I mean,

905
01:08:20,199 --> 01:08:23,000
imagine the guy who had nineteen years in the military,

906
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:28,600
breaking his back, multiple deployments, and you know he's on

907
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:32,960
the cusp of getting a pension and health insurance for

908
01:08:33,039 --> 01:08:38,720
his families, you know, and it's jabber job. That's why

909
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:42,800
I never judged people. But it wasn't the mark of

910
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,760
the beast either. You were basically putting your physical health

911
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,079
on the line, which was a lot. And I had

912
01:08:49,079 --> 01:08:51,760
a moral problem with it, of course I did. Right,

913
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,199
If you don't have physical autonomy, you have nothing. However,

914
01:08:54,239 --> 01:08:57,760
when that next one comes around, there's no repenting for it.

915
01:08:58,079 --> 01:09:04,359
You're doomed. You're done. So remember that. But you know,

916
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:11,760
whether it was the Soviet Union, to maus China, Cambodia

917
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:17,159
under Polepot meant all of it. It is sustained with

918
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,039
suffering on a scale that for many of us, I

919
01:09:20,039 --> 01:09:24,760
don't think, especially these younger people. You know, I've seen suffering,

920
01:09:25,199 --> 01:09:29,439
But for many people, they just can't comprehend a lot

921
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,159
of people in this country they think they are going

922
01:09:31,159 --> 01:09:32,920
through a difficult time. And I'm not saying they're not.

923
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,079
People go through a difficult time. People go through Kensington

924
01:09:36,159 --> 01:09:38,520
and Baltimore and even Dover. Now, sure there's people going

925
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,880
through a difficult time. But when you have an entire

926
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,840
country that you know, when you have millions of people

927
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,439
that can't even feed themselves, that that's on a level

928
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,920
that we truly don't see. But many graduates emerging know

929
01:09:50,039 --> 01:09:53,720
far more about the alleged futures, or actually say failures

930
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:58,039
of capitalism than the documented failures of Marxism. Now again,

931
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,800
I say that with this. Last week, I did write

932
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:05,600
an article on my substack. Please go to substack slash

933
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:09,600
the fact Hunter subscribe and look at the article I

934
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,319
wrote last week. We are no longer a capitalist country,

935
01:10:13,159 --> 01:10:16,520
that's a fact. Now, we're not full blown the United

936
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:21,399
Socialist States of America either, the USSA, However, free markets

937
01:10:21,399 --> 01:10:25,920
are supposed to be free markets. This government is not

938
01:10:27,399 --> 01:10:30,800
stopping monopolies whatsoever, and the little guy has no shot

939
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,960
against corporate America anymore. But at the same time, we're

940
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,920
not full blown communist either. But the modern university increasingly

941
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:43,640
resembles an ideological sorting mechanism, So students who confirm prevailing

942
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:49,319
viewpoints are rewarded socially and academically. And I can tell you,

943
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,800
and I'm going to stop short, that I have seen

944
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:56,600
at firsthand, very recently. So those who challenge prevailing assumptions

945
01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:01,079
often discover that open inquiry as its limits. Certain ideas

946
01:11:01,119 --> 01:11:05,800
may be debated endlessly. Other ideas, well, they're declared unacceptable

947
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,800
before the discussion even begins. How painful is that when

948
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,920
you go to a class or whatever the situation is,

949
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,840
and you have a subject that you want to approach

950
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,680
from your viewpoint and to get it out there, and

951
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:20,760
then the group sits down and the teacher says, Okay,

952
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,239
we're going to get started and today we're going to

953
01:11:22,239 --> 01:11:26,039
discuss this. However, we are not. I don't want anybody

954
01:11:26,079 --> 01:11:28,000
mentioning this, this or this. And that's one of the

955
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:34,279
points that you had. That is just right. That's not

956
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:38,359
intellectual freedom, that that's approved boundaries, and that is what

957
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:45,199
just extinguishes critical thinking. And this outcome has been seen

958
01:11:45,239 --> 01:11:50,439
throughout history. You have young adults graduating with degrees, debts,

959
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:58,720
strong opinions, but many have never seriously examined the philosophical

960
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:04,720
foundations beneath the ideas they champion. They have learned activism

961
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:09,319
before wisdom, and again they know the slogans throughout history

962
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:15,560
they outrage before they discern right. And the battle for

963
01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:20,960
education has always been a battle for allegiance. Whoever shapes

964
01:12:21,039 --> 01:12:25,279
the worldview of young people influences the future. So whoever

965
01:12:25,319 --> 01:12:30,640
controls the classroom today influences culture tomorrow. So the struggle

966
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:35,479
isn't merely over curriculum. It's over the truth itself. As

967
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:40,000
Colossians two eight warns, beware lest any man spoil you

968
01:12:40,079 --> 01:12:44,119
through philosophy and vain desy after the tradition of men,

969
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,560
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

970
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:54,640
That's important to repeat. Psychological labeling has become one of

971
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:59,800
the defining characteristics of a modern society. Every human struggle

972
01:13:00,399 --> 01:13:06,079
increasingly receives a category, diagnosis and labels. Remember, and this

973
01:13:06,159 --> 01:13:08,840
is the one that infuriates me. Children who once might

974
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:13,760
have been described as energetic, sure, distracted, and rebellious. I

975
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:18,399
was labeled a daydreamer. I remember getting yelled at. I

976
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,960
was playing left field in a little big game. I

977
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,039
always wanted to pitch, so I was out left field.

978
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,720
You know, imaginary pitching at six or seven years old,

979
01:13:28,079 --> 01:13:30,399
and the coach is like, you're in left field. You're

980
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:32,319
not pitching hobbs. Get your head in the game right.

981
01:13:33,079 --> 01:13:36,359
But they didn't take me to the psychiatrist and get

982
01:13:36,359 --> 01:13:40,199
me on riddlin for it. You understand, It's just that,

983
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:47,079
you know, I'm telling you the power of a label.

984
01:13:47,319 --> 01:13:50,039
You can't underestimate it. Once it's attached to a person,

985
01:13:51,359 --> 01:13:54,680
it can shape how they view themselves, how teachers can

986
01:13:54,720 --> 01:14:00,600
treat them, how employers evaluate them, and how society response

987
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:06,039
to them. So that explosion of psychological labeling has indeed

988
01:14:06,119 --> 01:14:09,960
coincided with the entire rise of anxiety, depression and everything else,

989
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,520
which is led to a whole generation of people in

990
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,680
psychotropical drugs. And we've spoke about that at Nauseum. We

991
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:20,439
have many podcasts on that, so we're we're gonna not

992
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:26,000
dive any deeper there continuing on that. Like everything else,

993
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:31,399
those patterns lead to a dependency on institutions. You look

994
01:14:31,399 --> 01:14:34,279
at one hundred years ago, Americans relied heavily upon the family,

995
01:14:34,359 --> 01:14:37,479
the church, and neighbors. When my mom ran out of eggs,

996
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:40,319
she's baking making cookies. I don't have any eggs. Hey

997
01:14:40,399 --> 01:14:42,840
run next door to s Miss Debbie for an egg.

998
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,399
Miss Debbie, can I get an egg? Sure? And Miss

999
01:14:45,399 --> 01:14:47,039
Debbie shows up? Can I get a cup of milk?

1000
01:14:47,119 --> 01:14:49,279
Like literally, with a little cup measuring cup and pour

1001
01:14:49,359 --> 01:14:51,880
some milk. We didn't run to this to the store

1002
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,920
every time we needed something. We depended on each other.

1003
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,199
I knew the name of everybody on our street. I

1004
01:14:57,239 --> 01:15:01,439
know that's a lot different than most people today. Problems

1005
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:06,680
were addressed close to home the community, much like the

1006
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:11,119
Middle East. Even today, the community handles their problems. Of course,

1007
01:15:11,119 --> 01:15:14,199
you're going to have the exceptions to the rule. Right,

1008
01:15:14,239 --> 01:15:18,760
people looked first to parents, pastors, extended family members, trusted

1009
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:23,199
members of their community. But as these institutions expanded, many

1010
01:15:23,239 --> 01:15:29,079
of those traditional support structures weakened. The individual increasingly turned

1011
01:15:29,119 --> 01:15:33,399
toward government agencies. And that's what FDR wanted all along. Right,

1012
01:15:34,039 --> 01:15:41,760
Modern citizens are conditioned from childhood to treat institutions more

1013
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:47,880
readily than their own judgment. When a crisis emerges, look

1014
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:52,159
to the experts. Even the people who look to the church,

1015
01:15:53,239 --> 01:15:55,960
the head of most churches, they're too busy looking to

1016
01:15:56,039 --> 01:16:01,319
the experts instead of reading the Bible. When confusion arises,

1017
01:16:01,359 --> 01:16:07,640
they look to the authority. The educational system reinforces this

1018
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:11,520
dependency from an early age. Students are taught that experts

1019
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:17,239
possess the answers. Universities reinforce the importance of credentials, Bureaucracies

1020
01:16:17,279 --> 01:16:21,880
determine who is qualified to speak, and professional organizations won't

1021
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:28,439
they establish the acceptable opinions. Listen, A free people requires

1022
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:34,479
self government. Self government requires self discipline, and that requires

1023
01:16:35,199 --> 01:16:40,880
personal responsibility. And that's why I continue to say that

1024
01:16:41,039 --> 01:16:45,319
most people say I want to be free, but most

1025
01:16:45,359 --> 01:16:48,760
people don't have it in them to be self governing.

1026
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:54,239
Dependency moves in the opposite direction. The more people rely

1027
01:16:54,399 --> 01:16:58,319
upon institutions to think for them, provide them, guide them,

1028
01:16:58,399 --> 01:17:01,920
protect them, and solve their problems, well, the less capable

1029
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:07,319
they become of governing themselves. History repeatedly demonstrates that populations

1030
01:17:07,359 --> 01:17:13,880
willing to surrender responsibility often surrender liberty shortly thereafter. I

1031
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:19,439
guarantee you if Fox News and CNN and MSNBC all

1032
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,119
came on the air and look the camera in the

1033
01:17:23,159 --> 01:17:26,079
eye and they said, aliens are descending upon us right now,

1034
01:17:26,119 --> 01:17:28,600
everybody go outside and look up, I bet you seventy

1035
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:30,640
five percent of the people would be running outside looking

1036
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:35,720
up and just because they believe anything right. Scripture, well,

1037
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,199
that presents a different model. The family serves as the

1038
01:17:38,239 --> 01:17:42,119
primary institution established by God. Parents are commanded to teach

1039
01:17:42,159 --> 01:17:47,199
their children, Churches are called to disciple believers. Communities are

1040
01:17:47,239 --> 01:17:54,199
strengthened through voluntary service, mutual accountability, and shared responsibility. The

1041
01:17:54,239 --> 01:18:01,359
Biblical pattern emphasizes stewardship rather than dependents, right responsibility not victimhood,

1042
01:18:02,039 --> 01:18:04,760
and wisdom rather than blind trust. So when you have

1043
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,560
a society that's grounded in these principles, well, it produces

1044
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:14,439
citizens who can think independently and stand firm when the

1045
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:21,239
institutions fail them. So, you know, again, the removal of

1046
01:18:21,279 --> 01:18:27,039
biblical foundations, it didn't happen overnight, but it happened layer

1047
01:18:27,159 --> 01:18:31,720
by layer. You know the whole story of Madeline O'Hare.

1048
01:18:33,319 --> 01:18:36,239
And again I don't obviously, I don't champion anybody's death.

1049
01:18:37,079 --> 01:18:42,159
She was the activist who supported atheism, the separation of

1050
01:18:42,279 --> 01:18:46,000
church and state, and feminist. She was a militant feminist

1051
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,720
and in nineteen sixty three she founded the American Atheists

1052
01:18:50,119 --> 01:18:52,479
and she was the president of it until nineteen eighty six.

1053
01:18:53,119 --> 01:18:56,760
And she is the one that is known for Murray

1054
01:18:57,159 --> 01:19:02,720
versus Curlette, the lawsuit that challenged the policy of mandatory

1055
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:07,279
prayers and Bible reading in You Guessed at Baltimore Public

1056
01:19:07,359 --> 01:19:12,920
Schools and look where it is now. She named her

1057
01:19:13,239 --> 01:19:18,920
son William Murray as the plaintiff, and that's one of

1058
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,760
the reasons why they took prayer out of school. But

1059
01:19:23,199 --> 01:19:29,039
in nineteen ninety five, her Madeleine, her son Garth, and

1060
01:19:29,159 --> 01:19:33,600
her granddaughter Robin. They disappeared from Austin, Texas, just off

1061
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:37,720
the face of the earth, and the initial speculation was

1062
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,960
that the three of them had I guess they took

1063
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,479
off with hundreds of thousands of dollars from the American

1064
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,840
atheist people, but they in fact had been murdered by

1065
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,199
their own former associates, and their bodies weren't found until

1066
01:19:53,239 --> 01:19:59,079
two thousand and one. And I'll put the link in

1067
01:19:59,119 --> 01:20:01,520
the show notes. I want to read the story on her.

1068
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:10,199
She even filed a lawsuit against NASA because the apollo

1069
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:19,239
ate genesis reading evil, evil person. But moving along, the

1070
01:20:19,279 --> 01:20:21,960
biggest thing that if you're a long time listener, you

1071
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,680
know how I feel that the neighborhood schools being taken

1072
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:30,159
away was the most devastating thing that happened, the destruction

1073
01:20:30,279 --> 01:20:32,960
of the neighborhood schools, so I remembered it affected me.

1074
01:20:33,039 --> 01:20:37,039
It was the nineteen seventies. Forced busing was soldest progress

1075
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,159
and social repair, Yet for me and countless communities. I

1076
01:20:42,239 --> 01:20:44,840
used to go to school five minutes from my house,

1077
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,159
and I ended up getting on a bus driving almost

1078
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:51,920
thirty minutes into Wilmington in the city, far away from

1079
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,039
my family and my home and my family and friends.

1080
01:20:54,319 --> 01:20:58,520
And that's how they destroyed community. Before that, I walked

1081
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:03,079
to school with the people I knew, parents knew the teachers,

1082
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:09,159
the teachers knew the families. We worshiped with these people.

1083
01:21:11,399 --> 01:21:17,039
Schools were a part of the community's moral fabric. Forced

1084
01:21:17,079 --> 01:21:21,840
busing broke it. Children were sent across town to unfamiliar schools,

1085
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,439
far from their parents and their churches. That was the

1086
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:30,159
whole plan, the evil plan. The school became less local

1087
01:21:30,199 --> 01:21:34,600
and more administrative. Parents became less connected. The neighborhood's identity

1088
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,199
was weakened. And that's why we are where we are

1089
01:21:37,239 --> 01:21:41,560
today because now we have this community trust that's eroded,

1090
01:21:42,319 --> 01:21:48,279
and the child became easier to absorb into the machinery

1091
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:52,680
because of the system. That was such a massive shift.

1092
01:21:53,079 --> 01:21:56,319
Once education was disconnected from the local community, it became

1093
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:01,960
far easier to standardize, to centralize, and to shape mentally.

1094
01:22:02,359 --> 01:22:05,000
A school no longer had to reflect the values of

1095
01:22:05,039 --> 01:22:11,239
families nearby. It could reflect the values of boards, courts, bureaucrats.

1096
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:17,199
Once the biblical foundation was gone, the moral vacuum filled quickly.

1097
01:22:18,199 --> 01:22:25,439
Humanism replaced holiness, psychology replaced an activism replaced wisdom, so

1098
01:22:26,199 --> 01:22:29,279
identity replaced character, on and on and on. That's why

1099
01:22:29,399 --> 01:22:33,279
Colossian's too weight. It's so hard. The battle for education

1100
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,279
is the battle for the soul of the child. It

1101
01:22:37,319 --> 01:22:41,079
can't be underestimated. And I know we're between school years.

1102
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,520
And if you were on the fence about pulling your

1103
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,399
child out of a public school, and you are afraid

1104
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,359
and you need guidance, you send me an email. If

1105
01:22:50,399 --> 01:22:52,119
you need to talk to me, I will call you,

1106
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,640
but I beg you if you have the means, please

1107
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,000
get your child either in a home school a community

1108
01:22:59,039 --> 01:23:02,319
school like me here, I'm registered in the state. I

1109
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:07,800
can teach my daughter plus six other children. Start building

1110
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:11,920
community schools, get them out of these cesspools. And again

1111
01:23:12,199 --> 01:23:16,960
This isn't, you know, bashing teachers because it's noble to

1112
01:23:17,159 --> 01:23:19,800
want to mold the minds of teachers. But I'm here

1113
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,720
to tell you I have gotten hundreds upon hundreds of

1114
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:24,800
emails in the last six years since we started this

1115
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,399
podcast of teachers saying the same thing. They went in

1116
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,560
noble wanting to make a difference, but they're handcuffed because

1117
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,439
of the system. Then I also get you know, I

1118
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,079
do get emails from teachers who are in private schools

1119
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,039
and those type of situations. They love it and they're

1120
01:23:41,039 --> 01:23:49,239
able to teach the truth. But this is all social engineering,

1121
01:23:49,399 --> 01:23:52,039
and that is the destination toward which all of the

1122
01:23:52,079 --> 01:23:56,319
previous pieces have been moving. Revisionist history shapes a person's

1123
01:23:56,399 --> 01:24:02,039
understanding of the past, standardized education shapes how they learn,

1124
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:07,600
and behavioral conditioning that really shapes how they respond to authority.

1125
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:14,039
Every society educates its children. The question is to what

1126
01:24:14,359 --> 01:24:19,279
end are schools producing independent men and women capable of

1127
01:24:19,359 --> 01:24:26,119
self government, personal responsibility, and moral courage, or are they

1128
01:24:26,159 --> 01:24:29,920
producing citizens who look to institutions for guidance and permission.

1129
01:24:31,239 --> 01:24:35,239
The social engineering operates most effectively when people don't recognize it.

1130
01:24:35,279 --> 01:24:38,319
That's the whole fact of the matter, it doesn't arrive

1131
01:24:38,359 --> 01:24:43,000
wearing a uniform. It comes through curriculum, through media, entertainment,

1132
01:24:43,399 --> 01:24:49,359
academic theories, and public policy. When a child enters kindergarten

1133
01:24:49,399 --> 01:24:54,119
with a worldview largely shaped by family, right by adulthood,

1134
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:58,359
that same child has spent tens of thousands of hours

1135
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,560
under the influence of school rules, universities, media platforms, and

1136
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:08,399
these government agencies. The real struggle the concerns who is

1137
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:12,279
doing the shaping and toward what purpose. History shows that

1138
01:25:12,399 --> 01:25:18,680
ambitious governments, powerful foundations, and political movements and ideological revolutionaries

1139
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:25,800
have always understood the following principle. If you control education,

1140
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:31,960
you influence the future. You control the information, and you

1141
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:37,680
can influence perception right. This explains why so many cultural

1142
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:41,600
battles seem disconnected. I can't tell you how many times

1143
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,399
over the last year or two that I simply say

1144
01:25:44,399 --> 01:25:50,279
to myself, I cannot believe what I am seeing, And

1145
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,760
ninety percent of it is because of the education system

1146
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:57,560
and the finance other things we've talked about in this

1147
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:03,720
Matrix series. The goal of social engineering isn't just to

1148
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:08,319
change laws and pass these nefarious like I spoke about earlier,

1149
01:26:08,399 --> 01:26:12,079
right laws can be repealed. The goal is to get

1150
01:26:12,079 --> 01:26:17,319
people to change beliefs and get these children to doubt God.

1151
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:24,279
Once beliefs change, laws flow naturally. Once a generation accepts

1152
01:26:24,319 --> 01:26:31,520
a new worldview, resistance largely disappears. Citizens repeat the approved narratives,

1153
01:26:32,079 --> 01:26:35,960
Neighbors monitor one another. Now right that started, They reinforce

1154
01:26:36,039 --> 01:26:39,520
that with COVID. That's why the battle for the mind

1155
01:26:40,199 --> 01:26:45,640
is ultimately more significant than any political election. A society

1156
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:49,840
that loses the ability to think critically loses the ability

1157
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:55,960
to govern itself. If they don't find a purpose in God,

1158
01:26:56,399 --> 01:26:58,720
they will find it in movements. If they don't submit

1159
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:03,119
to Jesus, they will eventually submit to human authority. The

1160
01:27:03,239 --> 01:27:08,960
architects of social engineering understand something many Christians have seadily forgotten.

1161
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:14,359
Ideas shape civilization, and the beliefs that are planted in

1162
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:19,319
classrooms today become the laws, policies, and institutions and cultural

1163
01:27:19,359 --> 01:27:24,640
norms of tomorrow. Remember that child sitting at a desk

1164
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,680
today is going to be a voter or a teacher,

1165
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:32,960
or a judge, or journalists or a business owner. That's

1166
01:27:33,079 --> 01:27:38,920
why the struggle for education it's never been about education alone.

1167
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:44,520
It's about shaping the mind. And as we close this

1168
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:48,039
episode of exposing the matrix, which again we will have

1169
01:27:48,239 --> 01:27:52,520
a supporting episode the first or second week of July,

1170
01:27:53,079 --> 01:27:56,479
getting into the people involved and deep diving into the

1171
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,840
foundations involved and the teachers' union. Oh way, you can

1172
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:06,199
do this in one in one sitting. It's impossible. But

1173
01:28:06,279 --> 01:28:08,720
you have to understand, this story is not about a

1174
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:12,800
single school, district, or law or foundation. This has been

1175
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:17,399
a century long transformation of how Americans are taught to

1176
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,720
view truth and authority. On and on and on. By

1177
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,960
the way, I got that subscription, we're in newspaper dot

1178
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,079
com or something like that, and you can go back

1179
01:28:27,119 --> 01:28:30,920
to like the eighteen fifties and search all these newspaper

1180
01:28:32,039 --> 01:28:35,439
stories and print them, you know, one week for like

1181
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:39,359
a dollar. Right then just cancel. I found the clipping

1182
01:28:40,199 --> 01:28:43,319
of bussing in the seventy five or seventy six, whatever

1183
01:28:43,399 --> 01:28:47,239
year it was, and outside of my development where I lived,

1184
01:28:48,279 --> 01:28:51,560
hundreds of people on the street Limestone Road. Look at

1185
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:55,039
Route seven on a map in Delaware, in Stanton area

1186
01:28:56,039 --> 01:28:58,880
where routes seven and four cross each other. That's where

1187
01:28:59,159 --> 01:29:03,920
where I grew up, and a plethora, a huge group

1188
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:09,359
of people protesting bussing and it failed. They didn't care.

1189
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,800
I'm not saying that people who protested care, but the

1190
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:17,319
powers that be they didn't care. They put us on

1191
01:29:17,359 --> 01:29:21,960
a bus and they destroyed our communities. Evil, evil people,

1192
01:29:24,399 --> 01:29:30,960
and the results from fifty years ago they surround us.

1193
01:29:32,399 --> 01:29:34,159
You know, we live in a nation where millions of

1194
01:29:34,199 --> 01:29:39,039
people graduate high school And did you see the was

1195
01:29:39,079 --> 01:29:42,920
that UCLA. The guy was walking around with a piece

1196
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:47,119
of paper asking the students to read two sentences and

1197
01:29:47,119 --> 01:29:53,159
they were struggling to get through it. College. But these

1198
01:29:53,159 --> 01:29:57,000
same people, they have these strong opinions on complex political

1199
01:29:57,039 --> 01:30:00,640
and social issues. You know, again, we live in a

1200
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:05,479
nation where these young adults know more about activism than history.

1201
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:11,920
And the greatest tragedy isn't so much the educational failure,

1202
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:16,319
which it is a tragedy, but the greatest tragedy is

1203
01:30:16,399 --> 01:30:20,239
this spiritual blindness and how people do not fear God anymore,

1204
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,560
even people behind the pulpit. I don't see a fear

1205
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:28,079
of God anymore. Go to your Bible dot com and

1206
01:30:28,159 --> 01:30:31,119
look and see what it says about fearing God. Yeah,

1207
01:30:31,159 --> 01:30:33,520
you now have a generation who have been taught to

1208
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:38,720
trust experts but not God. Institutions but not scripture right.

1209
01:30:39,159 --> 01:30:45,560
Trust credentials, not wisdom. That's why Paul's warning into and

1210
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:52,720
Colossians to wait, keep that on your mind. Right. But again,

1211
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:55,680
when we talk about these things, the answer isn't despair,

1212
01:30:55,760 --> 01:31:01,960
it's discernment. It's truth. And Romans twelve to two declares

1213
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:06,199
that and not be conformed to this world, but ye

1214
01:31:06,319 --> 01:31:11,760
be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That's the battlefield.

1215
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:15,279
The mind. Scripture doesn't tell believers to surrender their minds.

1216
01:31:15,319 --> 01:31:18,560
It commands them to renew their minds. God never feared

1217
01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:23,920
questions or investigation or honest inquiry. The truth withstands scrutiny

1218
01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:28,720
because the truth comes from Him. The Bahreans provided the

1219
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:33,159
model Acts seventeen eleven. Receive the Word with all readiness

1220
01:31:33,239 --> 01:31:37,000
of mind, and search the scripture's daily whether those things

1221
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:41,439
were so, they didn't accept what they were told. They

1222
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:46,319
tested everything against God's word. They were one of the

1223
01:31:46,319 --> 01:31:50,079
most noble groups of believers in the New Testament. And

1224
01:31:50,119 --> 01:31:55,439
the matrix survives only as long as people refuse to

1225
01:31:55,560 --> 01:32:00,479
question it. The men who seek to shape society, they

1226
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:06,119
understand the power of ideas. Christians should understand it even more.

1227
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:12,079
Every revival in history began when people returned to God's word.

1228
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:17,920
Every great deception succeeded when people abandoned it. The battle

1229
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:22,159
for the minds of children didn't begin yesterday and it

1230
01:32:22,239 --> 01:32:27,640
won't end tomorrow. The question facing every parent, every pastor, teacher,

1231
01:32:28,119 --> 01:32:35,960
believer simple, who will disciple the next generation? Will it

1232
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,119
be the institutions of men? Or will it be the

1233
01:32:40,159 --> 01:32:45,960
word of God? Because whoever shapes the minds of the future,

1234
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:51,479
and whoever owns the future owns the nation. So there

1235
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:59,479
you go. That's this episode of exposing the matrix. You know,

1236
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:06,039
test everything and hold fast to that is good. Stand

1237
01:33:06,079 --> 01:33:09,920
on God's words. You know. The philosophies of men are

1238
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:14,079
always going to rise and fall, but the word of

1239
01:33:14,159 --> 01:33:18,760
God shall stand forever, is noted in Isaiah forty eight.

1244
01:33:35,319 --> 01:33:39,880
tremendous blessing to me and to many who have read it.

1245
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:43,199
I'm so thankful that I put that book out. God

to me. And Part two The Disciple Maker's Handbook. We're

1249
01:33:51,159 --> 01:33:53,680
hoping to get out in July, but things have been

1250
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:56,439
so busy. I'm behind on a few things, but I

1251
01:33:56,560 --> 01:34:00,199
promise to do my best to get that out. Other

1252
01:34:00,279 --> 01:34:03,239
than that, well, I guess that's about it. Enjoy the weather.

1253
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,000
I have a great week. If you need anything, shoot

1254
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:07,640
me an email. God bless you, keep your head on

1255
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,920
a swivel and Christ in your heart. And until we

1256
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:13,600
meet again, my friends, we will see you.

1257
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:39,520
Speaker 3: The city stood before us in the morning, Ancient storms

1258
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:44,720
and dying gates crowd in all their ways.

1259
01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 1: The warriors washed.

1260
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:56,199
Speaker 4: From the battom and subove, trusting in their strength instead

1261
01:34:56,239 --> 01:34:58,680
of God above.

1262
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:09,079
Speaker 2: The True had not sounded, the battle not began yet.

1263
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:12,239
Speaker 5: The Lord hadn't made a promise.

1264
01:35:12,319 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: Of the victory.

1265
01:35:14,399 --> 01:35:14,560
Speaker 3: One.

1266
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:22,359
Speaker 6: So we walked in silent circles beneath the desert skyes,

1267
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:24,520
believing what.

1268
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:26,159
Speaker 2: He told us.

1269
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 3: The reasons was.

1270
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:38,159
Speaker 6: Round and around the walls Vego, trusting what the Lord

1271
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:40,000
has spoken.

1272
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:42,199
Speaker 2: On by stone, No none could know.

1273
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 1: The mighty gates.

1274
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 6: Would soon be broken by sord, not bad, not by power.

1275
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:53,239
Speaker 2: Men command.

1276
01:35:54,039 --> 01:35:58,800
Speaker 5: When the voice of God is heard, the strongest war

1277
01:36:00,079 --> 01:36:20,319
all that is word. For long days we monster her

1278
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,840
round without a single battle.

1279
01:36:24,119 --> 01:36:28,000
Speaker 6: Sun people mocked from high above.

1280
01:36:28,359 --> 01:36:31,560
Speaker 3: The faith kept moving out of love.

1281
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:36,600
Speaker 5: Then came the seventh rising sun, the day the Lord

1282
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:38,640
would finish what he had begun.

1283
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:44,680
Speaker 6: Seven times around we walked that ground, waiting for the

1284
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:45,880
hobly sun.

1285
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 2: Round. Then round the walls we go, trusting what.

1286
01:36:52,239 --> 01:36:57,159
Speaker 6: The Lord has spoken on by stone, No, none couldn't know.

1287
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:02,760
The landing gates were soon boon be broken my sord,

1288
01:37:03,359 --> 01:37:06,680
not by and not by power.

1289
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:11,600
Speaker 5: Man commands, when the voice of God he has heard

1290
01:37:12,199 --> 01:37:15,960
the sorongest wars.

1291
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:32,840
Speaker 1: For that his word.

1292
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 6: The trumpets cried to the wind. The people shouted loudest thunder.

1293
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:48,520
The earth began to shake beneath and pull the mightiest

1294
01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:50,119
city under.

1295
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 2: What man had built with fear.

1296
01:37:53,399 --> 01:37:59,600
Speaker 4: And pride could not stand. When God decided, every fortress,

1297
01:38:00,119 --> 01:38:12,720
every wall, must spell before the Lord.

1298
01:38:08,399 --> 01:38:18,039
Speaker 6: Of round them round the world's vehgle, following where he

1299
01:38:18,079 --> 01:38:23,239
has led us. Every promise he has made his mighty

1300
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:29,119
hand will never fail us by sord, and not by him.

1301
01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 5: Not by Powerman command. When the voice of Guy is heard,

1302
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:41,760
the strongest war will fall at.

1303
01:38:41,640 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 6: His words, came down? Who came down? And every stone

1304
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:02,479
declared the South.

1305
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:07,119
Speaker 3: The Lord Long.

1306
01:39:09,039 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 4: Brought Jerry Cole down.

1307
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:34,119
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Fact Hunter Radio Network. Just the facts, ma'am,
