Thr 4Apr24 David Knight Show UNABRIDGED

Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Night Show. As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Thursday, the fourth of April. You're of our Lord, twenty twenty four. Well, today we're going to begin with war. We haven't talked about it for a while, but there's some

amazing new developments We've got. That new trick is being pushed, and there is apparently the targeting of suspects using artificial intelligence, so targeting for assassination using artificial intelligence, the targeting of people and watching and waiting until they get to their home and then assassinating them. So we're going to begin with that. We're going to talk about the pandemic and the people who are still pushing the fear. Amazing to see how this is still happening, and amazing, as

one doctor says, to just distress knowing what is going on. Some people keep coming into my office and continue to ask me to get up to date for this booster. And so we'll be right back. There's a lot to talk about today. We'll be right back. Well, it happened over the

weekend, but I have not talked about it this week yet because I want to focus on the bigger, long term plan. But of course, as Jerald Clinty has always said, when everything fails, they take you to war. And it appears that there is a relentless march toward that now, both in Ukraine and also in the Middle East with the attack by Israel. It's kind of interesting to see the attack by Israel Syrian on an Iranian embassy in

Syria to assassinate an individual. I thought it was kind of interesting to see that take a back seat to the targeted attack of some food aid workers, and it was widely reported, you know, the food aid workers. Everybody was focused on that. Even though there were a couple of articles in the news feed like your Reiters and other things about the attack into Syria against the Iranians, the targeted assassination and the implications of that, most people do not

pick that up. Conservative or mainstream media did not pick that up. I thought that was interesting. But I want to begin with this letter that was sent to me from a listener, Vivian from Canada, and she said, I want to talk a little bit about Palestine, the obvious demolition and genocide in the Gaza strip as we know it. She said, my family's in

the West Bank. For their safety, I cannot disclose the town. They are allowed phone calls in and out of the West Bank, but the calls are always listened to by the occupation, so they've not been able to share for fifty years. What is really going on. My cousin called yesterday and shared that the occupation has frozen their bank accounts, because that's the way this is all going to roll out. Isn't it interesting how they've displaced the people.

They have done everything they can to keep them from getting food. But of course, you know in other areas are going to come after the banking. That's what we're going to see here as well. I'm not clear if it is everyone's bank accounts. My cousin is not able to pay her mortgage. She also said that robbery has increased. It's not clear if it is

settlers or generally just everyone who is committing this crime. It has become violent break ins, cars stolen, people being beaten in their homes or car keys for gold, etc. This is one of the reasons why they've opened up our borders, folks. They want total chaos, homes set on fire. My cousin is not able to go to work because the occupation, random shooting of Palestinians, and road closures. It's never been this bad, she said.

I don't hear many people speaking about the rest of Palestine. And again, when we look at this, it's one of these things like the border. I don't spend that much time on it typically because there's not that much we can really do about those issues. Yes, we can prepare locally, and for the border issue, I just had somebody send me a report was from Fox News and comments from the podcast who said, yeah, they're targeting

Tennessee now. They want to start bringing in migrants to Tennessee instead of dealing with them at the border, Let's just grab them immediately, put them on a plane, and send them into Red States. Because to them everything was about politics. This is not about politics. This is far beyond that. They want to make sure that they have chaos everywhere these people who come in. I don't really They will use them for the census, and they will

use it to get more representation. It's what we hear in some place, and that's a plausible, plausible thing. But why would they do that to Tennessee when Tennessee is heavily Republican. No, they want chaos everywhere. The people who interpret everything in terms of politics are missing the big picture here. This is a war of extermination and of leveling all of civilization so they can

I impose their global tyranny. And so whenever you look at this, you need to keep that in mind and understand that context again, the context that we've seen before. While they're going to come in and they're going to have they're bringing in these voters, and in the past and a slow movement, you could make that argument that they would come in, you could put them on welfare, they'd be more likely to vote for the Democrats and that type

of thing. This is escalating too quickly. This is truly an invasion. It was an invasion with the first caravans that began when people realized that Trump was a paper tiger. When it came to the border. At first, there was everything stopped. They thought, oh, we don't know where this guy's going to do. Let's wait and see. They saw he wasn't going

to do anything, and that's when the first caravans began. And it's now escalated even beyond that with Biden. But the purpose of this now is economic chaos, financial chaos, the Cloward and pivot thing, but also the chaos and the violence. So she's talking about the crime that is happening here. Because they're blocking people from being able to have a normal life, even blocking their bank accounts, people turn to crime. A lot of these people are

now turning to crime. A lot of these squatters who are coming in, they call them undocumented migrants there, squatters when they come in. Now they're organizing, as they're reported yesterday, they're organizing crime gangs, just like they've organized crime gangs and the jurisdictions where Sourus put in his district attorneys knowing that they're not going to be punished. That's why they're sending the migrants into areas

like Tennessee. It's not because care about representation of the votes or anything. They're way beyond that. They can manipulate these elections very very easily. So a huge American flag burning protest erupted as Iran vows revenge for the deadly Israeli strike and Damascus. They demolished Iran's consulate to kill two Iranian generals that were there, and they also killed eight people. So they destroyed the building,

killed eight people to get these two generals. This is something. When I get to this artificial intelligence program that picks targets and assassinates them, you'll see what the targeted assassination looks like. It looks exactly like this is going on all the time within Gaza. So again I thought it was strange. This

is largely ignored. This bombing in Damascus, this is targeted assassination in Damascus was largely ignored, because, yes, I understand when you talk about people who are there a multinational group including somebody with American citizenship and a lot of different countries represented by these food aid workers who are targeted, hunted down, and killed. I understand that is as I said in the past. You

know, the murder of a million people is a statistic. The murder of one person is a tragedy, or the death of one person is a tragedy. And so there's that aspect to it. The cold, calculated aspect of it, I guess, was more shocking than going after generals that you would consider to be a military target, even though they're not officially at war. But Lindsey Graham and Netanyahu and these people who want to take us into World War three. They do want to go out to these military targets, and

they want to expand the war into Iran. They've been wanting to do this for decades in the United States. But the thing that got the most attention was Israeli assassination of seven World Central Kitchen Food Aid workers. That's the organizations World Central Kitchen and they gave food aid. And what was striking about this was and you can even see it from the bombed car that's very well marked as to what it is. And it was done in three successive stages.

They had robots hunting drones hunting down the individuals to make sure they killed every last person that was there, despite the fact that it was three different attacks. This reminds me very much of the Collateral murder tape that was exposed by WikiLeaks, showing American soldiers at a distance shooting up people. And I don't even remember whether it was Iraq or Afghanistan. Now these wars are running together,

aren't they. But in the clip you see some people there. You see very clearly in the released video footage that they did not want to come out, but it was released by a whistleblower and it was published by Julian Assange's organization. But in the footage you see a person clearly carrying a camera,

a large camera at the time. You know it's cameras have gotten smaller, but the professional news cameras are still pretty big anyway, carrying a camera and they shoot them up and then they wait until an ambulance comes and they start loading people in the ambulance and then they just shot the ambulance to pieces. And it was murder. And that's the nickname they gave that tape.

Well, this is very much like that. The convoy was struck three times in succession with a drone chasing the wounded AID workers from vehicle to vehicle to make sure they were killed, no legitimate pretext and precise coordination with the IDF Israeli Defense Force. The distance between each bomb w c K that's the world what was whether that stand for World Central Kitchen Group, so we'll just refer

them as a WCK. The distance between each bombed w CK and the other shows beyond any doubt that the IDF took their time to deliberately and surgically eliminate the entire crew. The second car was bombed after it rescued the survivors of the first, and the third after it rescued the survivors from the second, they bombed the first car. Some of the staff er into the second car, but the IDF bombed it wounded them. Third car came IDF bombed it,

killing all the aid workers. Israel claims their drones spotted an armed individual guarding a w CKAID truck, a policeman who was there to prevent looting, that traveled in the convoy with three w CK cars. That was good enough reason for the IDF to bomb each single one of the three cars and slaughter everyone. As Glenn Greenwall points out, he said, even Israel's excuse for shooting three missiles at a convoy of aid workers on an approved route and a

clearly marked and clearly marked cars, even that excuse is reprehensible. They mistakenly thought there was one armed terrorist quote unquote if that had been true, does that justify them continuing to assassinate every single person and clearly marked cars in a route where they had notified this real Look, I understand that there is the fog of war. That's one of the reasons why you don't continue a war forever, and once you do, you no longer have the high ground.

This is why you don't start a war, accept in self defense after you've been attacked. But then the purpose is to try to minimize collateral what we call collateral damage. I don't know I even use that term. Now what what I hate? Pentagonese's a cynical such a lie. To minimize civilian deaths, non combatants. And so that's the purpose of the West. Why we wear uniforms. You want to try to minimize that. You want to try to minimize the length of the war, the damage of the war, the

extent of the war, not to drag it on forever. But that's what we do. That's what America has done and continues to do. The clip I played yesterday of Julianusange saying, the purpose of this war is not to win it, and this is he was talking about Afghanistan. Every one of our wars. The purpose is not to win it. The purpose is to keep it going. They can launder money through this to their friends and the military industrial complex. The military can also use it as a live laboratory for

their weapons. They can use it to train their soldiers because they don't care who died. They don't care if their soldiers die, they don't care if civilians die. Let's just keep this going in as soon as we lose the war in Afghanistan and we can move on to some other place and have another war over there, we'll start a new war somewhere else. I always got

to keep that war going. The WCK people say that seven employees were killed in a quote targeted attack by the IDF after they had quote unloaded more than one hundred tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza. You see, that's the reason, because this is not just massive bombing, this is targeted starvation. That's the key thing. The World Central Kitchen seven WCK team members killed in Gaza, the Spike coordinating movements, they said. This is the group's

reply the Spike coordinating movements with the IDF. The convoy was hit as it was leaving the warehouse where the team had unloaded more than one hundred tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route. This is not only attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. That's precisely what is happening right now. They're trying to starve these people.

You come in here and you're going to give them a hundred tons of food, well will kill you. Oh it was an accident, sure, yeah, well had the desired effect. Food Aid workers have now gotten out of there because they realize what's going on. These people say this is unforgivable. They got people different nationalities, Australia, Poland, UK, US, Canada. These people were there, Max Blumenthal says, clearly targeted Israeli strike on

an eight group led by a State Department culinary ambassador. That's what Biden has. People called the leader a culinary ambassador. They coordinate their movements with the Israeli army, all designed to end its aid operations and perpetuate mass starvation in Gaza. Now watch the Biden administration minimize this, he said, or if they even talk about it. A lot of people left and right were talking about this attack. Chef Andres the one who's leading it. I have no

idea who this guy is. I don't look at food channels or whatever it is. He was not an opponent of Israel. As a matter of fact, he had defended Israel's war in Gaza mid October against he lives in Spain, against comments that were made by the Spanish minister that Israel was committing genocide and not letting in humanitarian aid. He pushed back against that, and he defended Israel's right to respond after the October seventh events. But then he changed

his tune after this. What he said was, today I lost several of our sisters and brothers in an idf air striking Gaza. I'm heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends in our whole WCK family. These are people, angels and I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They're not faceless, they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It's not indiscriminate, it's very discriminating.

I'm going to get into that. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, needs to stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity, and it needs to start now. He said, what Israel is doing is clearly a stench to the entire world. And Netta, who is going to perpetuate this, He's having massive demonstrations against him at home and to all the

people who want to give Israel a free pass. Just understand, Christians, this is a political system, and God does not sign on to any political system. He's got principles, and you can check the principles first before you impose your eschatology. Okay, there's clear principles, clear moral principles that are violated here, and you excuse it because of your prophecy charts. That's despicable,

and you've got your you've got your analysis completely inverted. It's just amazing to me to see people excuse the worst atrocities because they've got some complicated prophecy chart and they've all got a different one. It's just amazing to me. Christian constitutional conservative, there has to be a continuous war. How can they justify the billions in defense spending if you don't need to defend anything that's right, because we're not going to defend our borders, right, not our borders.

So I've got to go somewhere else and say that this is vital to our nation. This is a vital interest to our nation to be in Ukraine. It's vital to have a coup in Ukraine, to create a conflict with Russia, to continue to push push, push into Russia. That's vital to our national security interest now, So again going back to what happened with the provocation, trying to provoke Iran into striking, and they keep escalating this.

As I said before, you know, Iran does not want a direct confrontation with the US or Israel, but the US and Israel want a direct confrontation with Iran, and ISRAELI expert said exactly that. He said, they don't want it, but this could change because why because we're going to provoke this

and they have now said we're preparing strikes on Israeli embassies. I said, when I noticed how this was not getting any coverage, and then the attack on the food aid workers happened and that got all the coverage, and said, well, maybe they're just kind of holding this back. They don't want to talk about it at all, give it much coverage because when and if

the Iranians strike back, we can then present them as the aggressors. Clearly that's what the American government, the CIA had done to Americans, and it worked. Americans don't realize that we did a coup in Iran in the nineteen fifties throughout their leftist government, and like the guy wouldn't have voted for him, but the Iranians did. He was going to nationalize some of the oil industries, so they threw him out. They put the Shaw of Iran in

there. CIA trained his secret police at Slovakia. They were ruthless, they were brutal, and it created so much of a blowback. After a couple of decades of that, by the nineteen seventies, everybody was ready to have a violent revolution and they did. And it was a CIA that essentially because

that blowback put the Iolahs in charge in Iran. And yet even with the itola is in charge in Iran, when America accidentally shot down a passenger jet in the same way that they accidentally shot down Flight eight hundred off of Long Island, New York, they know since it was a foreign government, it

was not friendly to the United States. At that point in time, they couldn't pretend that it wasn't them like they did in America, and so they gave them a little bit of compensation, but they didn't do any terrorist attacks. I think they understand that they're going to lose that war. They're going to lose a lot of people. They seem to be more concerned about losing

a lot of people than we are. We just keep pushing and pushing and pushing, and so then you've got Mike Johnson, the Ukraine and Josh Holly. Senator Josh Holly said, regardless of how Johnson tries to mask more aid to Ukraine, it is still more aid for Ukraine, and it is splitting up the Republican caucus that is already very tiny majority. What is amazing to me is that Mike Johnson clearly was bought off. Some people say he was

blackmail. I think he was bought off of the speakership. I mean, it's pretty obvious he had always been adamantly opposed to aid for Ukraine until he became speaker. The first thing he says was more aid for Ukraine. Now, was that a condition of the job, Mike, did you sell out your principles for that? Looks like it certainly looks like that was your reward, you know, speak becoming speakers, so that you could push the Ukrainian

war on us without end. So every NATO member has got personnel in Ukraine. That's according to the Estonian defense minister. Why would he say that and why would they do that? Oh, well, they're just there as advisors, right. I was under ten years old and all this stuff of Vietnam began. I used to listen to the nightly news all the time. But like I said before, I got roped in by Beethoven. It was I didn't know, but it worked as a hook for me, and I was

out there and listen to the rest of it too. All this talk about Vietnam advisors, Vietnam advice, more advisors, more advisors, more advisors. That euphemism doesn't really work with me anymore. And so they're saying, well, they're all there as advisors in Ukraine. Well, I see that as pretty ominous because I know what happened with Vietnam. The Estonian tennis minister said that because he was trying to assuage fears of the boasting by Immanuel Macron talking

about how they needed to send troops. Series says, well, he says, the reality is that every NATO member or country already has military personnel in Ukraine, such as military attaches are people who traveled to Ukraine from time to time. What the French President Macron said mainly related to personnel training, he said, But there's no talk of NATO soldiers fighting directly in any of that. That's been ruled out. Oh has it? Maybe should tell Emmanuel Macron

that. And so that's all this is happening. You've got a Republican congressman in Michigan, Tim Wahlberg, who and surprisingly this guy is a pastor, and he's saying the solution for Gaza is Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You see, perhaps he's buying into this because I don't know, because of his ideas about how the world ends and the role of Israel and all the rest of this stuff and his prophecy charts. I tell you, I'm just I'm just with

all this stuff. It just makes me disgusted to see these people make that the main thing. It's disgusting. He said. Gaza should be handled like Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We shouldn't be spending a dime on humanitarian aid. Yeah, it's a lot more monetarily efficient isn't it, says the pastor to just drop a nuclear bomb on our enemies or people we don't want in an area. The problem is that it makes it radio He just doesn't understand it makes

the area radioactive. And then Jared Kushner can't do his ocean front property development on it. He's not really interested in that. I'd rather have us spend the blood and treasure to clear people out. It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Let's get it over a quick. What he means is quickly. I'm sorry to be a grammar Nazi, but well, we're actually talking about a Nazi. We're talking about a guy who's talking about nuclear war, and

I correct him on his grammar. You should say quickly. In response to the controversy, Wahlberg claimed he was using a metaphor. I used a metaphor to convey the need for both Israel and Ukraine to win their wards as swiftly as possible without putting American troops and harms way. You know, he just put the rest of the country in harms way with a nuclear war. Yeah,

well, let's just how could we use it? See now he brings in Ukraine, so please tell us, pastor, how could you use nuclear weapons to win the war in Ukraine without starting a nuclear war with Russia. Please explain that to us. You got that on your prophecy chart. Genius. I'm going to tell you these wars began an infamy and they are going to end in ignominity and defeat, as all of our wars since World War II have unjust wars and a justified defeat. Again, he is, as

one person said, Ken Wahlberg, pastor and good Christian. See this is why when you look at these people who wrap themselves and the mantle of Christ, like Donald Trump, he comes out. It's a genius move for him to say. Well, okay, Biden declares transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday. So I'm going to declare that November fifth, election day is going to be Christian Visibility Day. All these Christians are going to come out and vote for me, not me, not me. Well, I tell you keep

up with that kind of stuff. I'll vote for the other guy just to make sure you don't win. You are nothing like Christ, and neither is Wahlberg. Or yeah, Wahlberg is his name. You're opposed to Christ you're anti Christ, the little a. We'll see if Trump gets the capital letter promotion, right, will he get a capital promotion? Become an upper case a anti Christ? Yeah, give him the horotia matreatment. Get it over with quickly, well quick so he can save some money. But this is

where world War three has headed. You know, any Jacobson I've I've enjoyed her books. I've I've talked about them at length. I haven't tried to get an interview with her. She's doing a lot of interviews now about this new book, which is about nuclear war. But she's done excellent books on

DARPA. Really enjoyed her DARPA books, talking about the beginning of DARPA, the Jason and scientists, and you know how after World War two and then they really started using them extensively in Vietnam as they were using that as a test bed for weapons for the military industrial complex. She talked about Operation paper Clip, and you can't really understand what's going on with all these germ games from the CIA and all this bioweapons stuff and everything if you don't understand Operation

paper Clip. They brought in Nazi scientists and Japanese scientists Japanese scientists too, had used American soldiers as lab rats to experiment on them. They brought them in and put them in these programs that they had set up Fort Dietrich and Maryland and other places like that. They would always make sure they had an American officer at the top, but these guys were the ones who are actually running it. And she did some excellent stuff on Operation paper Clip, on

Dharpa. She did a book about Area fifty one, which I'm not the least bit interested in any of that stuff, but she has access to all these people in the Pentagon. That makes me a little bit suspicious. She tries to be very, very neutral, and I guess that's what gives her her Either that studied neutrality or the fact that they're using her to put information out. I don't know, but it is interesting what comes out. And she said, so, she's done all these books for years and years and

talking to people in the military and the Pentagon. And she said, whenever I talk to people, they would say, well, we do this because we don't want to have a nuclear war. She said, they all say that, And so she says, so, I thought I would do a book about nuclear war and the effects that it's going to have. And so one of the quotes from her she's doing the interview rounds, she says, hundreds of millions would die in the first seventy two minutes of a nuclear war.

And so she said, the US Defense Department has an early warning system. The system in space is called the sbi RS, a constellation of satellites that is keeping an eye on all of America's enemies. So the moment an ICBM launches, they see the hot rocket exhaust on the ICBM A fraction of a second after it launches. This begins a horrifying policy called launch on warning, and that is the US counter attack. So she said, the reason

they keep watches so that they can immediately launch a counter strike. She said that policy, launch on warning is exactly what it like. It says. It means the US will not wait to absorb a nuclear attack, it will launch nuclear weapons in response before the bomb actually hits. One of the things that concerns me, and of course, it was a movie. I think it's called war Games or something. Matthew Broderick, you know, let's play a game, let's do nuclear war, that type of thing. But a

very crude projection of what they're talking about with artificial intelligence. Of course, they're going to have to be faster and faster, So they're going to have to have artificial intelligence in the loop. What if artificial intelligence starts to hallucinate about something, What if it gets it wrong because it gets stuff wrong all the time. Oh, we got some humans in the loop as well. Will those humans counteract artificial intelligence? Maybe we need to do another experiment like

the Milgrim experiment. You know, the Milgrim experiment. You had a test subject too, his given controls, and he was told that he was shocking the person in another room. When the guy would tell him, you know, they'd ask a question, they told him something else about the purpose of the experiment. So, you know, we're going to ask questions. When

the person gets it wrong, we're going to give him a shock. And so they would start doing this, and then he would gradually have him raise the level of the shock, and the person on the other side was acting that they were being hurt increasingly until they get all the way up to a fatal shot. They found that two thirds of the people would do that. By the way, I mentioned that, I got it confused I equivocated that to the ash experiment, and where you have somebody that is the test subject,

is in a group. Everybody else is in on the gag in there, and they asked them questions and have you raise your hand, and they were to see if they were going to be susceptible to peer pressure, and so everybody the answer would be very obvious, very simple, like you know which line is longer? And they found that a third, not two thirds

as I'd reported before, but they found a third of the people. It was the opposite way, But they did find two thirds of the people would do what the person authority told them to do up to it, including a lethal jolt. And they did this experiment many times, many different cultures. They even did a French TV show called Game of Death, and the audience was part of that as well. They were not in on the gag.

Well maybe they were in on the gag. I don't know, but it was a very popular, popular thing and certainly the person up front was not in on it. But that's a person who's an authority. What happens when it is artificial intelligence, and they've told you over and over again, well, artificial intelligence is objective, it doesn't make mistakes and all the rest stuff. Just like they told you that Donald Trump was completely opposite of the globalist.

He opposed everything they did until he did everything that they did. But even after he did everything they did, people have been so conditioned to see Trump as the anti globalist. They excuse it. Well, you know, it's the people that he picked to betrayed him, or he didn't know what's going on, or this or that. Oh, he's totally incompetent, but we need to get him back in because he's going to save us. That type of thing totally delusional. So what happens when you put artificial intelligence in

the loop of this launch on warning system? What happens if it doesn't get it right? What happens if these people are looking at you, Well, no, that doesn't seem right, but the AI says it is, so push the button and start the war. And more than one occasion in the past the order has been given or Russian or American forces to launch a nuclear strike, only for it later to emerge that the command was issued in error. But we may not be so lucky the next time. The best sort

of hitting the nail on the head statement is in President Reagan's memoirs. He refers to the six minute window, and he calls it irrational. He says, how can anyone make a decision to launch nuclear weapons based on a blip on a radar scope? Oh, I guess we'll just need to bring in

artificial intelligence, because it'll be able to discern that without any air. Of course, so Annie Jacobsen points out that, unlike what we see in the movies, a nuclear missile cannot be recalled or diverted once a launch button has been pushed, something that Reagan himself did not know. She said. The US has seventeen hundred and seventy nuclear weapons deployed, meaning those weapons could launch

it as little as sixty seconds and up to a couple of minutes. Some of them on bombers might take an hour or so, you know, like doctor Strange Love, Well, we got them all called back, except for this one plane that doesn't seem to be responding. You know, they got there, they took a near hit and it took out their radio, and you had some pickings ride that bomb all the way down. It started all off. Russia has sixteen hundred and seventy four deployed nuclear weapons, same scenario.

Their weapons systems are on par with us. That's not to mention the twelve five hundred nuclear weapons amongst the other nine nuclear armed nations. She said, when the weapons detonate, three hundred mile per hour winds would cause a massive carnage. She said, you're talking about people who are miles out getting sucked up into the stem of that mushroom. She said, when you see the mushroom cloud, that would be people. That would be people. But

of course it's just a statistic, right. We don't care about that. I may care about personalized assassinations, but we don't care when you know millions of people, that's just statistic. She says. She interviewed dozens of major political and military figures about the concept of nuclear deterrence, and they all agreed

on one detail. She said. Every source I interviewed for this book, from former secretaries of Defense, nuclear sub force commanders, stratcom commanders, FEMA directors, nuclear weapons engineers, they all shared with me the common denominator that nuclear war is insane. She said, if the president made that faithful decision to strike back, countless lives would be snuffed out in less time that takes to play a game of football. We always couch this in the discussion,

that we would be attacked first. Why is that? Why wouldn't we have somebody like Biden or Trump or Obama or George W. Bush or Clinton? Why wouldn't they push the button first? Do you think they have some kind of a moral prohibition against that? I certainly don't. I mean they have illustrated. They have over and over again initiated wars where we were not attacked. We had no interest in that war, and over and over again.

Now everything that they do is designed to destroy this country. Whether you're talking about the borders, or you're talking about the climate mcguffin, or you're talking about the pandemic mcguffin. Everything the American government does is designed to destroy this country and to kill us and enslave the survivors. Why would we think that we're always going to be responding. Why wouldn't we be the initiators of this? When you look at the kinds of people that are running our government,

they're mass murders, they're insane, they hate this country. She said, first, millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of people die in the first seventy two minutes of a nuclear war, and then comes the nuclear winter, where billions will die from starvation not being able to grow food. The fallout that everybody talks about is something you have to worry about for a

few days, but then it dissipates a fairly quickly. The longer term issue is starvation, and of course we will have massive armies of people that they've brought into this country. If they survive, it's really going to be one of these apocalyptic dystopian sci fi films. So Zelensky is mobilizing younger men in Ukraine, but it's not enough for Lindsey Graham. You say, this is why, I say, why wouldn't we be the ones to start it?

I can certainly imagine Lindsey Graham would just be itching to get his finger on that button and push it. Lindsey Graham chastise Kiff for failing to call up younger people because their draft age. They've extended it on the up end, but their draft age has been twenty seven and they lowered it to twenty five, and he was furious about that. I can't believe it's a twenty seven said Lindsey Graham. You're in a fight for your life, so you should

be serving, not at twenty five or twenty seven. We need more people on the line. Well, you go, man the line, you mass murder. Lindsey Graham never saw a war he didn't like. I don't know what his problem is. I mean, you could look at John McCain. You can say this guy is twisted in body and soul from that experience that he had in Vietnam. You could kind of guess that that was what was

going on with him. What is Lindsey Graham's excuse. He's never done anything, He's never been a part of any of these wars, This couch potato war mongering hawk. Well, you need to get more people out there.

I can't believe you're not sending people out there younger than twenty five. We've got to have more people on the line, kill more people, more Ukrainians fight them to the last Ukrainian. So according to the head of the kiv International Institute of Sociology that conducts poles within Ukraine, he claims that only eight percent of Ukrainians are willing to take up arms. You say it's always rich men's war. Poor man's fight, isn't it. We may not like these

wars. You may have massive numbers of people. Netnyahu not very popular before this war began, becoming even more unpopular in Israel. And yet these people are gonna nudge us into this. If they can get Iran to strike back, if they can get somebody, they can provoke somebody. They're always knocking chips off of people's shoulders, punching them in the you know, sucker punching them and all the rest of the stuff. They can get somebody to strike

back. Oh, now it's on, and most of the people and most of the countries will just fall in line on rock fin William Wallace, that's who we need, William Wallace. I've been sucked deep into the Kill Decision book David mentioned a while back. Yeah, that's about the change of the use of drone warfare, and that is a very interesting book, ghost bo. Within this decade, the atomic weapon will no longer be considered the most

catastrophic thing to humanity, rather AI and robotics. Exactly right. You know what is going to happen, and we'll talk about this when we come back. What will happen is is they turned this over to autonomous killing machines. All these things, they'll be able to go in and and hut people down and kill people and then you know, Jared Kushner can just move into the empty areas after they've turned off the robots and enjoy the view on his see

signed veranda. This goes back to the neutron bomb. Jimmy Carter. Oh, let's have something with enhanced radiation so we can kill the people but leave the buildings intact mostly. And so that's the type of thing that they're looking for with us, these killer autonomous killer robots. They'd love to be able to do that, and they're working and moving in that direction very quickly as well. We'll be right back here News now at apsradionews dot com or get

the APS radio app and never miss another story. Liberty, it's your move. And now the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back, and I want to thank a couple of people left tips on rock Fan. Mary ellen Moore, thank you very much and James, thank you both those on rock Fan. And I want to let's talk about technology, but let's before we leave the war stuff. This is where the two overlap and just as Gotrie and I were talking about the other day, the real problem is,

you know, we both began we love technology back in the seventies. We saw the computers as being our friend, you know, and of course many of us saw the this is great the Internet. We've got access to information that goes way back verse. Now they're scrubbing it left and right, and we got free speech and all the rest of this stuff. But it was a trap. They got everybody in and then they closed the gates on that digital ghetto to start controlling our speech. But yeah, technology has now gone

the way that it was described and were warned about with by Eisenhower. The military industrial complex and academia which is also a part of that, have now taken over the funding and the research and turned technology into a tool of power for wicked, entrenched people. And so here's the latest example of this,

something called Lavender, an AI machine directing Israel's bombing spree in Ganza. That's the headline from nine to seven to two mag dot Com and another organization, a local call they put this together and said the Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gozins as suspects for assassination using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, and by that they mean civilian

casualties or the euphemistically call collateral damage. In twenty twenty one, a book titled The Human Machine Team, How to Create Synergy between human and Artificial Intelligence that will Revolutionize our World was released in English under the pen name Brigadier General

Ys. In it, the author, a man we have confirmed to be the current commander of the elite Israeli intelligence Unit eighty two hundred, makes the case for designing a special machine they could rapidly process massive amounts of data to generate thousands of potential targets from military strikes in the heat of war. Such technology, he writes, would resolve what he describes as a quote human bottleneck

for both locating new targets and decision making to approve the targets unquote. That's one of the reasons why I had the guy that I interviewed, and again

I didn't talk to him about the things in which I disagree. He works for the military industrial complex, very heavily connected on the inside, but he had written a book where they're talking about the use of robotics to fly fighter jets, get rid of the restrictions of g forces that knock out humans and everything, so that they could fly much more radically, they could shoot more accurately, and all the rest of this stuff. But in many other ways

they were experimenting the military's experiment with robots. And the book was four battle Grounds, I think, or battlefields I think, it's battlegrounds, and in it these were four areas that we're already, essentially in their minds, fighting a war with China, and so it always went back to China. But I was more interested in what he had to say about the current status of

artificial intelligence. And of course one of the issues that even he had a problem with that all of them have a problem with, was he said, the pressure is is that as both sides start to adopt this technology when we talk about launch on warning and in fact you only got six minutes to make a decision with the missiles that are there, and the missiles keep getting faster and faster, and then a battlefield decision, you have to start making the

decisions faster and faster, and if you don't react very very quickly. Then you're going to lose. And so there's constant pressure to take humans out of the loop entirely because hey, you've got to have If they're making their decisions and they're kill decisions using AI, we aren't going to be able to keep up. We'll have our resources destroyed before we can get a decision from the

human. So let's turn the decision making over to the robots. And he said, and then the question is how do you get the robots to stop? And once you turn over that kill control, that kill decision to the robots, how does it stop. That's always a question, isn't it. And yet it is always this arms race attitude, Well we got to do it because the other guy's going to do it. That's the thing that always

draws us into all of these issues. That's the thing that has caused us to do what the Japanese did it Pearl Harbor, and that is to say, well, it's inevitable we're going to have a conflict, so let's strike first, because hey, for all practical purposes, we're already already at war. That's why I say, who's to say that the US have to make a six minute decision. We might be the ones who institute, who instigate this, especially if you got somebody like Lindsey Graham, and there's plenty of

people like Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham is Lindsey Graham says the quiet part out loud. And then occasionally you got a guy like that Michigan congressman who says the quiet part out loud. But that's what most of them are thinking, and most of them just do what they're told. Like Johnson, so he said, we're going to have to remove the human bottleneck, as this guy

wrote, who is now? They believe, they're certain, but I haven't seen their evidence, but they believe that he is head of the Israeli intelligence group that would be doing these targeted assassinations. They say, well, it turns out such a machine like this already exists. A new investigation by a nine to seven to two magazine and local call reveals that the Israeli Army has developed an artificial intelligence based program known as Lavender, unveiled here for the first

time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers who have all served in the army during the current war or on the Gaza Strip that have had firsthand involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for assassination. Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians. This is where all this eventually goes.

Geospatial intelligence, which you've been the fastest growing part of our intelligence community since the late nineteen nineties, tightly tied into their support and development and financing

of the Internet and social media and all the rest of the stuff. This is all about looking at social media, and of course that's the artificial intelligence, and the chatbots are scraping social media and everything they can get off the Internet, especially everything that you say, they're scraping that in and they're using that as well as you know, people are talking about copying our books, and it's copying our music, and it's copying our artwork and all the rest

of the stuff. Well, it's also profiling all of us and building up a profile. And how long is it before our government decides once they're successful in getting a civil war started or whatever, they have a kill list of people that they want to go after. So this is kind of universal. We see it happening right now. But the Israelian American government are really on the same page when it comes to this type of stuff. So think about

this is not something that's happening in a distant land. This will come home. Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to sources, its influences on the military's operation was such that they essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine as if it were a human decision. What I was saying

earlier, you're going to start getting artificial intelligence to give an assessment. I mean, if you're present, you've got to try to make a decision as to whether or not you're going to push the button, let's say, in retaliation. Then wouldn't you like to have confirmation that this has been looked at by a highly intelligent and objective computer, which, as we've seen with Gemini, with interaction with chat GPT, it is not highly intelligent nor objective.

It's incredibly biased, and of course it's going to become increasingly stupid as it begins to feed on its own material. So they call it inbreeding. Some other people call it cannibalism. That is what's going to happen to these AI machines. But they're going to increasingly be put in the position, well, we have to do what machine said. Just take a look at Trump's decision

to shut everything down on that fateful Friday the thirteenth into twenty twenty. According to him, two very smart people told him that they had to do it. What those two smart people come to him with a computer simulation that was done by people who aren't really very smart at all, the Imperial College of London, where their model did not have the cave that were supposed to flatten. There was no curve. There was no Far's law curve of epidemics,

you know, a bell shaped curve. It wasn't there. It's a straight line going up forever. Every person infected infects another two and a half people, and only that. But the implementation of that false model and computer code was such that when the University of Edinburgh checked it, they said, we give it exactly the same input and it would come out with different answers each

time. It's like a random number generator. So they picked the random number generator output that was going to sell their case the best, and presented that to a gullible, stupid or compromised Trump and oh well, okay, let's do that. He's still selling that lie to people, still selling that lie. Is he that stupid? Perhaps I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is really that stupid. Speaking of the stupidity of Trump and

the people that he puts around him. This Alina hab a lawyer that he's got. You know, he just paid the one hundred and seventy one hundred and seventy five million dollars where they reduced the bond or something, right the judge did. He said, I can do that. Thank you for letting me do that. I'll get that done. I got ten days to get that done. So he turns it in. By the way, he runs it through this this guy who does subprime automobile loans. I guess if he's

become a billionaire doing subprime loans, he's up for some risk. He's a gambler like Trump is with his casinos if he's doing subprime auto loans, And maybe he feels like in the near future he's going to have to have some friends in high places to keep his billions of dollars. Nevertheless, he had reached out to say, I'll give you a hand with this. Well Trump could cover that, he said on his own, and he gave him the

cash and this guy wrote the check. Why do you do that? Well, that part of it was smart, and it allows him to do something with the interest rates. I didn't look at the details of it, but basically there's some financial advantage for him to give the money to a third party and have the third party act as if they are bonds people and send that money in. But they sent the money in and his lawyer, Elena Haba, doesn't fill out the paperwork properly, so the judge this is invalid.

You've probably got enough time, but he can get it done correctly. But if you wait up to the last minute to get this thing done and as lawyer blows the paperwork, I mean, it's just amazing to see how grossly incompetent Trump is with the people that he picks and everything else anyway, so

he's still selling that lie. And if somebody comes to you with a print out, of course, you know that's one of the first things I've said many times, the garbage and garbage out first things they would tell us, And and engineering you know, don't believe this just because you've got a computer print out, and you'll learn that you can't trust the computers when you start

programming them yourself. So, but a lot of people, you know, if it's if it's a computer, if it's artificial intelligence, oh well we're going to go with that. And so this is what they're saying. People treated the output of this AI machine, Lavender, as if it were a human decision. Formally, the Lavender system is designed to mark all suspected operatives in the military wings of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, including low ranking one

ones, to mark them all as potential bombing targets. The sources told nine to seven to two and Local Call that during the weeks of the war. First weeks of the war, the army almost completely relied on Lavender, which clocked as many as thirty seven thousand Palestinians as suspected militants and their homes were

marked for possible air strikes. During the early stages of the war, the army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender's kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based. One source stated that human personnel often served only as a rubber stamp for the machine's decisions. And that's what we'll increasingly see. And you're going to see that everywhere. You're going to see that

in business, you're going to see that. Uh you know, well, we'll turn most of this stuff, well, we'll put that in, you know, at the FDA to evaluate these drugs and stuff. We'll let the artificial intelligence do it, and then we'll just we'll rubber stamp it saying we're doing a human review. So once for lunch today, let's go. You know, I'm not going to spend the time reading this stuff or doing the hard work. And already did it. What's the point. I'll just sign

my name to it, and can I have a raise? Okay, So there's no examination of the intelligence data, any question about how did you arrive of this decision. One source stated that the human personnel often served as a rubber stamp, adding normally they would personally devote only about twenty seconds to each target before authorizing a bombing, just to make sure that the lavender marked target

is male. This was despite knowing that the system makes water regarded as errors and approximately ten percent of the cases, and is known to occasionally mark individuals who have merely a loose connection to militant groups or no connection at all. You know, it's an interesting when you look at this, it's like, okay, so this thing is ninety percent accurate. And I remember I was getting some early text to speech things and they would be ninety percent accurate.

And the output when it's trying to, you know, create a text from listening to somebody speak, the output was total gibberish. Total gibberish. If you're only ninety percent correct, because you know, each time it's making these decisions, these errors are accumulating. Anyway, you know, go take a look at a some kind of text to speech generator that is ninety percent correct

and see what you get. Moreover, the Israeli Army system, and when we're talking about killing people on the basis of that, right, not just putting out a document that there's a bunch of gibberish and stupidity. More Over, the Israeli Army systematically attack the targeted individuals while they were in their homes, usually at night. So it's like a swat attack, except as with a bomb. US a logical progression from where we're going with this kind of

stuff, right, they just bomb them. I don't want to. Why waste the time and the money and put officers' lives in danger. Let's just drop a bomb on these people. And so it would do it at night while their whole family was present, rather than during a military operation. According to the sources, this was because, from what they regarded as an intelligence

standpoint, easier to locate the individuals in their private houses. They were back to geospatial intelligence and the importance of that geospatial intelligence being able to map your patterns of behavior, to predict anticipatory intelligence, to predict what you're going to do. Are you going to be a bad guy in the future. I think so. I think we're going to do something about that right now.

We can't wait for that. The same logic that you see with these national wars, they will use on an individual basis, Well, this person could be a threat in the future. People like him have become threats, and look at the people that he's got as friends, and look at his religious beliefs, because we can infer that look at his political beliefs because they can infer that, and we know all the different places that he goes. Additional

automated systems, including one called Where's Daddy. Oh yeah, this is one is nice. Where's Daddy revealed that for the first time here, they were used to specifically track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their family's residents. Where's Daddy. Is Daddy home yet? Yes, Daddy is home? Bomb them. They know where Daddy is all the time, but they want to wait until Daddy gets home so they can kill the entire

family. You see, we were not interested in killing hamas operators, only when they were in a military building or when they were engaged in military activity. Said an intelligence officer told us that nine seventy two and local Call. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in their homes without hesitation as a first option. It's much easier to bomb a family's home. The system is built to look for them in these situations. The Lavender machine joins another AI

system that I've mentioned before, the Gospel. They call that one the Gospel, about which information was revealed in previous investigation In November of last year, as well as Israeli military's own publications. A fundamental difference between the two systems between the Gospel and Lavender it is the definition of a target. Whereas the Gospel marks buildings and structures that the enemy claims militants operate from, Lavender marks

people and puts them on a kill list. When it came to targeting alleged junior militants, they're marked by Lavender. The army preferred to only use unguided missiles commonly known as dumb bombs. They're not smart bombs, so it's like, well, the smart bombs cost more money, so if these people are junior, let's use a dumb bomb on them. But to make sure that we get them, of course, the dumb bomb has to be bigger, and they're going to drop it on the family when daddy's there, and or

any other building where this person typically goes. So it's going to have a lot of innocent people killed. You don't want to waste expensive bombs on an unimportant people, that says. Another source said they'd personally authorized the bombing of hundreds of private homes of alleged junior operatives marked by Lavender. With many of these attacks killing civilians and entire families as quote unquote collateral damage Theyn't you just

love the pentagon? The pentagram. In the past, the military did not authorize any collateral damage during assassinations of low ranking militants and the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigadier. A brigade commander of the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than one hundred civilization one hundred civilization's death one hundred civilians and the assassination of a single

commander. Just remember, you know we had you know, they took out the entire Iranian embassy or a large part of it, killed eight other people besides these two generals because they were doing it. So I mean they were I guess kind of sparing in that they must have used a very smart bomb to take out those generals when they attacked Syria and an Iranian embassy in Syria. So in this article we're not going to go into any more detail with

it. They do go into a lot of detail, but just to give you a scope, they lay it out before they go into it, and here's their outline. It's got six different parts, they said. First, if you want to see this, so you can find it at nine seven to two mag dot Com. First we explained the Lavender machine itself, which marked tens of thousands of Palestinians using AI. Second, we reveal the Where's Daddy system which tracked these targets and signaled to the Army when they had entered

their family's home. Third, we describe how dumb bombs were chosen to strike these homes. Fourth, we explain how the Army loosened the permitted number of civilians who could be killed during the bombing of a target. Fifth, we note how automated software inaccurately calculated the amount of non combatants in each household, and sixth we show how, on several occasions when a home was struck, usually at night, the individual target was sometimes not inside at all, military

officers did not verify the information in real time. Like I said, I'm not going to go into all the details, but at the very beginning, when it says generating targets, one person who spoke to them said, once

you go automatic target generation goes crazy. Intelligence sources told nine to seven to a local call that during Israel's previous wars, since this was an especially brutal way to kill someone, often killing an entire family alongside the target, such human targets were marked very carefully, and only senior military commanders were bombed in their homes to maintain the principle of proportionality under international law. See that's the

big problem with Israel's conduct in Gaza as well. I think most people were sympathetic to you know them, coming after military figures after October the seventh, even though it looked like there was some something fishy, looked like they had stood down. Nevertheless, even if that was the case, just like with the Japanese, even if FDR stood down and allowed his own people to be killed, the Japanese still did the killing, and they still needed to be

confronted and attacked on that. However, this whole idea of proportionality, which is about as close as we can come now having some kind of an ethical calculation, because we're not going to talk about the Christian principles of a justified war. We're just going to talk about keeping it proportional. And then if you can claim or if he can say that the other side escalated, something you can do, but at the at that point, there wasn't anybody fighting

back. And this has gone on for months, so there's nothing about this guy's operation that is proportional. And then when you look at the ethical principles of trying to limit the war, that is clearly not on the table either. They're not trying to end this and they're certainly not trying to minimize civilian

casualties. But let's move on to some other tech here, because as we look at these autonomous killer robots or drones or drone swarms or even AI targeting, as we look at that, there's been a lot of talk now about how we all need to have our own personal robot. I think the company that I was showing the other day, I think it was was a Figure Travis, do you remember if it was Figured? I think that was the name of the company that was a robot that had kind of a It sounded

like a California dude. Yeah, sure, yeah, man, I can do that. Yeah, what would you like to have me do? Very dexterous you know, it could handle very fragile things. I could sort out moving plates and you know they give them things you know, give me something that is edible, you know, and it would move things around and put all the things that need to go on the dishwasher over there in that tray and stuff like that. And it was being it was a fusion between this

robotics company and chat GPT. Well, everybody's trying to get in on now. Evidently Apple, after they had said for years they were going to do an electric car, they scraped that not too long ago. Now they say, well, now we're going to do a robot. That's our next big thing. They don't have intellectual firepower to pull off the next big thing. Tim Cook is a bean counter, always has been. He's got no more ability to get these kinds of big projects done than did Scully, the guy

from Pepsi that drove jobs out in the first place. And so I don't think they're going to be able to pull this off. But everybody is talking about that, and of course the people most concerning, the people at Figure, are talking about that. They want everybody to have a minder robot, just like they want everybody to have a smartphone. A smartphone was going to be their surveillance tool. It's going to be essential for them to really get

their geospatial intelligence thing going, and they mocked to everybody. We're talking yesterday about Ed Snowden because RFK Junior said, well, I'll pardon Ed Snowden. Well. Part of the documents that came out, at least in Germany, not in the United States. One of the documents that came out was about Apple. Nobody wanted to put that out in the US because they want Apple's advertising money, just like they're not going to criticize the Pfizer. And it

wasn't really necessarily that Apple had had cooperated with them. I certainly would believe that they would with Tim Cook, and there's evidence that they got into the PRISM program based on the documents that we got out of Snowden. They joined the PRISM program. Microsoft was the first one to join, but they didn't join until twenty twelve after Steve Jobs was out and no longer CEO, and so you know Tim Cook will work with them. But prior to that,

they had mocked how they used the smartphones as big brother. They said, who weld have thoughteen eighty four and they show the Apple nineteen eighty four commercial that this would be big brother, and they show Steve Jobs holding up the iPhone and that the zombies would line up to buy it. They want to do the same thing with the robots. They want big brother to follow you around, even more so than your pocket device, because it's going to be

needed to keep you in line in many different ways, I think. And so they're pushing a lot of different companies are pushing into personal robotics. Apple is there as well. He's had a field with potential to become one of the company's big next big things, said an analyst at Bloomberg. And this is again everybody's looking in a way to jump in on this. Amazon is looking at it, Apple is looking at it. Pull up the picture,

Travis. The article is Apple exploring mobile robot that follows users around their home. They decided that they would take that. They decided they would take the goofy approach. Let's make it not look threatening, because we can make it look really goofy. So I've got like a square monitor there and they've drawn two circles as eyes, and then the bottom of it is that's Amazon's astro

robot. But you know, Apple will probably do the same thing because as people are questioning it, they are saying, well, I don't know. I mean, this thing doesn't look like it's got the capability of moving the head around to make it look like it is more responsive. This will be your goofy snitch approach. A mobile robot to follow you around your home.

Engineers and Apple have been exploring a mobile robot they can follow people around their home, and they said they've also developed an advanced tabletop home device that uses robotics to move a display. And so this is just a display that's on the Amazon bot, but they would have a display that moves around like you would move ahead. But a lot of people said, well, you look at the picture of that thing, looks like it's kind of top heavy.

I don't know if that's going to work or not, but it's looking like, you know, there's already a tier that has developed, Amazon and Apple doing kind of goofy consumer grade stuff, whereas figure is looking very intimidating, even to the extent that Apple has apparently wanted to create robots that can handle chores like cleaning dishes in a sink. But the person who was talking about this, but this is likely to be decades away due to extraordinarily difficult engineering

challenges. We just saw a figure doing that as a demo. Apple's home robot could compete with Amazon's astro that we just showed you there. But for now, these are just moonshot eye and I think, just like the moonshot, it isn't going to happen. That's let you mean by the moonshot thing total fiction. I can't the number of times that I heard big popular Christians like al Mohler say this vaccine you need to take it. It's like the moonshot we need. And it's like, yeah, it is like the moonshot

in ways that he's too naive to understand. Amazon cuts hundreds of jobs in the cloud computing in it, but don't worry because they've now had to hire thousands a thousand workers to support their flagging AI push. You know, they wanted to have these touchless grocery stores that they were setting up different places.

They called it that just walk out self checkout stuff. The problem is that's not working too well, and so they're hiring a thousand people to watch and to kind of check the work of this automated checkout thing and to make sure that people aren't shoplifting that they're being charged properly or whatever. Not necessarily that they are trying to steal this stuff. It's just that it doesn't do its

job appropriately. But here's the interesting thing. All one thousand people are from India because they can watch this stuff online in India where they don't have to pay them as much. So they're firing Americans while they're hiring Indians and replacing people with artificial intelligence. That's where this stuff goes. Hiring more than a thousand people in India to scan the camera feeds to ensure that the checkout tallies

are accurate. Installing and maintaining all the necessary equipment is also proving to be too expensive and it makes the system unprofitable. So they're pulling back from that. They're looking to do something else, and we're going to do something else. When we come back, we're going to take a look at a quick

update on some pandemic panic that is still rolling around. If you like the Eagles on the cars and Huey Lewis in the news, they's say the Hot You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio, download our app or listen now at APS radio dot com. You're listening to the David Knight Show of the comment from Jason Barker Knights of the Storm and the Foxhole Report, he says, if you want a small device that follows you around the house,

does chores have kids? That's great, of course this current generation would say, but I don't understand how to interface properly to make that happen. We're just so isolated. And Michelle Obaman, thank you for the tip, says Jason's got some good jokes. Yeah, he does. This should be a joke. Unfortunately, a joke is on many people. As I point out last week, one woman still wearing a mask after four years, afraid to

even come around her grandkids, you know who could follow her around the house and do chores, But they're little germ factories. She said. This is a post by a person who is a medical profession So I feel so defeated. Patients still coming in wanting to quote stay up to date on the COVID shots despite their injuries. The court appeal was dismissed despite all the evidence.

Friends are sick and dying. My own sister admitted today with a second pulmonary embolism, and she's in the medical field A lot of people in the medical field buy into this stuff of course as well. She said, how do we get through to these people? How do we stop this? This is the way I felt from the very beginning. From the very beginning, we knew where it was headed. And then immediately in January, people are dropping dead and getting injured right away. I mean, we'd never seen that.

That's always in the past. That was always the issue affairs, the fact that it would be a slow poisoning. It take a while for the stuff to develop. Probably the best example we'd had this kind of stuff was after a year, kids showing up with injury in Scandinavian country with narcolepsy, and it's completely destroyed their lives. You know, here we are a decade or so later, they're in the mid to late twenties, many of them committing

suicide because anarcolepsy is so bad. The fall asleep, they can't drive a car, they can't do anything. But how do we get through to people? How do we stop it? Honestly, I don't know. I mean we say it over and over again, she said, constant fear porn is making people crazy. Literally, I'm at a loss this evening, Yeah, absolutely, and then some people replied to it. One person, a doctor Chancey, said, tell them it's a DoD shot still not approved via traditional

means. Tell them contamination and adulteration of the shots, along with no CGNP is allowed. That death is a potential consequence, that each shot increased is their risk of contracting COVID as well as a myriad of other diseases as their immune system is compromised. She said, oh, I have, I've tried everything, especially with family. They won't hear it. Person responded to that, said, family, you say, I pray for you. As for your office, change the policy. The shots need to be provided by your

pharmacy. We cannot guarantee the shots safety. Please do your own due diligence before you take any shots. She says. We have never given any shots at our office. We tell people they're not available and we're highly discouraging. But you want to see the fear porn that is still out there. I saw this on a conservative news aggregation site. All right, this is from

natural News Mike Adams. Mike Adams is still pushing this stuff. What His article from Natural News says staff at taxpayer funded virus lab bitten by COVID infected bats and hamsters, and they refuse to alert the public. Well, maybe they know something that you also know, Mike Atoms, which is that this is not a dangerous virus. You've been lying to people now for four years and you're still doing it. It's absolutely inexcusable. You've gotten so rich off

of this, and that wealth is going to eat you away. Just amazing, just amazing to see what Mike Adams and these other people like Alex Jones will do for money and for influence and for audience, and they're a big source of this fear porn. Still are pushing this. Oh look we got these labs and they're experimenting on bats, ex very many on bets and it got out and then tell anybody. Maybe they know that it's not anything that you really have to worry about. I think they ought to shut these things

down. And it is his thing here. They do talk about how much money is going to go to expand this lab in Colorado, Fort Collins. It's associated with the university there. They all are got more than two hundred of these things. I've been talking about, these these dangerous biosafety level three and four labs. Biosafety level three is still a lot of supposedly precautions that are there. Biosafety level four is the highest. China only had one biosafety

level four lab and that was in Wuhan. But I said, you know, we need to shut these things. Are two hundred of them, and they're always playing with very dangerous diseases. But not the COVID BAT stuff. Come on, CEE Issues reportedly planning to construct another BAT lab later this year using six point seven million dollars in taxpayer funding. Public reporting of lab accidents should be standard practice, not an issue that is up for debate. We

should be talking about shutting these things down. They were supposed to have been shut down in twenty fourteen after the sloppy stuff was exposed by Alison Young at USA Today, and Congress acted on it, and even the Obama administration shut it down. You know who opened it back up, the Trump administration in twenty seventeen. But even after they shut it down in twenty fourteen, you had Francis Collins and Fauci continue it. They continued it at the University of

North Carolina and Chapel Hill. They continued it in China It's one of the reasons why it was in China was because they said, well, okay, if Congress has told us that we got to stop this, let's go do it in a foreign country. But they still continue to do it at North Carolina. And when they released the information, you had people who were in the scientific community said, what in the world are you doing with that? You were told you've got to stop. There's absolutely no reason to do this.

Nothing good can come out of it. So why are we spending millions and millions of dollars on these things and building them and expanding them. Because in twenty fourteen there were two hundred of these labs, pretty much all of them associated with a university somewhere. Why can't we ever stop any program ever? Well, the Conservative's not even talking about doing that. We just need to have accurate reporting of what they're doing, right, if you got an

accent, we need to know it. Well, this whole thing is an

accident waiting to happen. But to say, oh, yeah, we got COVID bad experiments still going on, Come on, come on. So you got Matt Hancock, you know, this guy who was nothing but a politician. He didn't even pretend to have any medical background. Somebody liked Ted DROs at the World Health Organization and he was their lockdown master. And I've read to you many of the things that he's laughing about. What he was doing, laughing about, Oh yeah, people coming in. I'd like to see

those places where they're going to stick them when they got a quarantine. All the rest of this stuff had these very strict quarantine rules. And then of course he got caught having a late night affair with a married woman, and then that hypocrisy. Not so much that nobody cares in society anymore about adultery, but you know that his hypocrisy on the lockdown rules got him kicked out.

Well, there was a back and forth between Matt Hancock, the quintessential political liar, and Andrew Bridgen, who is shining like a light in a dark space, one of the few, if not only, members of Parliament coming out and talking about this stuff and not caring about the consequences. And of course the consequences were that he was kicked out of the political party.

The consequences were that that same Matt Hancock called him anti Semitic because he talked about people being killed with a vaccine to give an excuse to the Conservative Party to kick him out, and so Andrew Bridgen has sued Matt Hancock for libel.

In January twenty twenty three, former Health Secure Secretary Matt Hancock, who had been kicked out because he was a man of no integrity or intelligence or medical experience, posted a tweet on x saying quote disgusting and dangerous anti Semitic, anti vax, anti scientific conspiracy theories that not only suggested that he had lost it, but also that fellow MP Andrew Bridgen was anti Semitic. The defamatory illegal smear was used as a political tool to silence views concerning the adverse

event of the covid JAB. Yeah, if you're against the covid JAB, you're anti Semitic. Again. It must be uh, you must be a white supremacist or something. And it was to prompt Andrew Bridgen to issue libel proceedings against Hancock in order to clear his name. Yeah, cynical dictator without any medical knowledge, experience, or personal integrity. So Andrew Bridgin had a

link to a zero Hedge article and a screenshot with a comment. As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust. Oh, if you mentioned the Holocaust, I guess if you mentioned the Holocaust and you're not Jewish, or you mentioned the Holocaust and say and

compare anything to the Holocaust, well that's anti semitic. He said nothing that was anti semitic in that, And so immediately Matt Hancock comes back and excuses him of being anti Semitic, anti science, anti vaccine, on and on and on, and yet it is Matt Hancock who is anti vaccine, anti science, and a race baiter. And so what he said was, well, I didn't mention Andrew Bridgin by name, but he replied to that immediately,

and that was his characterization. That's his excuse, because Matt Hancock is a liar without any integrity. The graphs which Bridgin had highlighted, just one of which showed that major cardiovascular events report of vers had exceeded seventy thousand up to that point, including nearly four thousand cases of aphib and two thousand cases

each of myocarditis and cardiac failure. And so as a result of being called antisemitic by this lying adulter, Matt Hancock, they expelled Andrew Bridgen from the Tory Party. That was the excuse they had, but the reality is that they were just looking for an excuse to kick him out because he had offended their masters, the pharmaceutical companies. It's not the first time that Hancock and other Members of Parliament have used weaponized smears against another MP an attempt to vilify

and discredit them and their political views. The groundless smear is also used when all else fails in an MP's battle against an opposition. As a London Economic said, Matt Hancock appears at the best of times to be an empty bag of sound bites, and when those sound bites unravel, he appears unable to back them up with anything more cogent than to simply repeat Boris Johnson. This

happened back in September twenty nineteen, the height of Jeremy Corbyn's popularity. Hancock is the Tory Parliamentary parliamentary candidate, attended a general election Hustings and was laughed at repeating the Toy's half baked manifesto pledge. According to London Economic, he loses it and designed to attack Jeremy Corban by saying there's one thing I am more passionate about ridding from our politics than anything else, and that is the

anti semitic. There it is again the anti semitic, outrageous racist attitude of Jeremy Corbyn. You see, Conservatives are just as capable of playing a vile race card without any substance to it as a left is. They really aren't any different. They just wear a different colored jersey, right, But they're in the same game. They're playing the same game, both sides of this

stuff. His remarks prompted members of the public to heckel boo jeer and to stand up and opposition a chance of shame on you and liar when he accuse the Labor Party of being racist. During the uproar, mister Hancock said, anybody who would support a racist party shouldn't be standing for parliament. But yeah, he is simply an empty bag of sound bites. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Elvis the Beetle and the Sweet

Sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at apsradio dot com. Using free speech to free minds, It's the David Knight Show. Right take off those masks and take off the fear, go it away. But of course it's all about tracking and controlling us, isn't it. And the next thing that they're working on right now, of course they're trying to consolidate these things and move them up to a higher level, is the global level with

the Pandemic Treaty that I talked about extensively yesterday. But Australia has now approved digital ID and as Alex Newman says at Liberty Sentinel, he said to America is next digital ideas were approved in the Australian Senate would be coming soon to the US as part of the World Economic Forms backed Global technocratic goolog complete with

central bank digital currencies and social credit scores, warned Alex Newman. And he said, this bill in Australia, passed through the Australian Senate March twenty seventh, is putting in place the legislative framework for the phased and expansion of the Australian governments digital ID system to include state and territory government services and the private sector. So the Australian Minister for Finance and what they did with this and

their examples, you know, they didn't. They didn't create a video like they did in Ukraine. I've played several times where I don't have it here today in the in the deck, but I've played several times Ukraine twenty thirty, and they talk about how well, now that the war has ended and we won, we get off to a bad start there. But that's their fantasy anyway. Now the war has ended and we won, and somehow we didn't blow up the entire world in a nuclear conflict. Now look at how

wonderful Ukraine is in twenty thirty. Everybody's got their little digital IDs and they've got their smartphone pass and they can do this. You know, they can interact with a Department of Motor Vehicles and with the tax collectors and all these other predators from the government that should not exist. They can interact with all these different things. And it's so simple, because we've made interaction with the government so simple. You just have your digital ID and your big brother phone.

And so they did a similar thing in Australia. They put out a flyer with a hypothetical example of what life would be like with somebody with and without a digital ID. So here is the example they have an Australian guy by the name of a Meir must be a squatter coming from the Middle East or something. I think. So a Meir and his family lost their house during a recent flood and he needs to prove who he is in order to access government support. Now they have two scenarios there, with a digital ID

and without a digital ID. So what happens if Amir and his family who we don't know who this guy is? Where do you come from? I mean, this is probably they're trying to elvis to the the newcomers, you know, the squatters. You know. Let's get them their digital ID first, and all the conservatives will be yes, yes, by all means give them a number, let's set up that system, and then I'll be next. Anyway, so a Meir without a digital ID will find it more difficult

to prove his identity given his ID documents were lost in the flood. But with a digital ID. Amir had already set up a digital ID before he lost his ID documents in the flood with his mobile and internet connection. Wait a minute, those didn't go away in the flood. He didn't lose internet, he didn't lose his router. He didn't lose his mobile phone. But with mobile and internet connection, he can log on online and verify his ID

within five minutes. It takes that long must be a slow connection because of the flood or something, I don't know, in order to access the cash claim. That is, until they found out that he opposed the shot and that they have made him an outlaw. He's outside of the law. I mean, we're just talking about that the other day. Travis say, what's the difference with an outlaw and a criminal thing? It sounds cooler to be

an outlaw. I said, well, you know, the thing is when you look at the purpose of the law, and you look at the purpose of the sheriff initially, and peace officers and things like that, it was people coming together for their mutual defense. That was the theory behind it.

Turned into something else, didn't it. But the theory behind it was that you have this community that's there to defend people, and if you're going to break the conventions of that community, then the worst thing they could do to you in those days was to declare you to be outside of the protection of the law. I don't know the law is there to protect us anymore, you know, it's another think that's there again. You got that digital ID.

It's surprising to me that they don't take this over to some kind of a biometric idea in their example here right, So you know, he just shows his face and it knows who he is, but it also knows all the things that it doesn't like about him, and it will make a determination as to whether or not it will give him any assistance or maybe put him in jail, or maybe, you know, maybe theyre the ones who blew

his house up in the first place. Well, when we're looking at financial stuff, we've got gold hitting another new record high, which is kind of interesting because bonds and stocks and bitcoin are all going down on supposedly good economic news. That's why I say, you can't really when you look at things going up and down, it's all relative, it's all cooked and all the rest of the stuff. You just need to look at what I think is

going to keep you private and what is going to hold its value. And so as things are fluctuating back and forth, it's not that gold is going up by record amounts, it's that everything else is losing its value by record amounts. Tony is not going to be with us today. He's traveling, but I'll just mention that Tony has set up Davidnight dot gold to take you to Wisewolf Gold. And it's not just gold, but it's also silver that

is doing well. They said for a change, silver outperformed gold. This was yesterday and with spot prices surging up to twenty six dollars for the first time since May of twenty twenty three. So I don't know what it is at the moment, but everybody's been talking about silver being way undervalued, and so gold is outperforming everything else, and silver is but that's not necessarily to

say that's going to continue. But we do have a very long track record on gold that goes back for centuries, and we know that the Fiat currency is the worst thing that you can have your money into. So the argument back and forth as well in the future, is bitcoin going to be the new gold. I prefer to be outside of the digital net, because I think it is a net. I think it is a web. It is a net, and I don't want anything that's been created by these weaving spiders

who created this stuff. How are they going to use it? I want to have something I'm increasingly old school with this stuff. So again if you go to David Knight Die Gold, that'll take you to Tony Ardban's Wise Wolf Gold, and Tony is busy working today securing stuff for people, and he is he can do a great job of locking the price in for you. And that's the key thing is he points out, is making sure that you've got inventory and being having access to this. As the demand is really starting

to go up, it's going to become increasingly difficult. That's why he's established these relationships. Why he's got a couple of different places while he's in Texas as well as his shop up in Branson because of that, and so he can lock it in and you can also and you can get small, large transactions of gold or silver. He can also help you set up an IRA and he has a buyer's club that can help you get quantity pricing on gold and silvery. Calls it wolf Pack and you can do that setting that up

on a monthly basis on a lot of different levels. And so take a look you can get there from David Night Gold. Lets him know that you came through me. Black gold or oil also went up to eighty five dollars per barrel on West Texas Intermediate cruit, the highest has been since October of twenty twenty three. Interesting that Biden has depleted our strategic petroleum reserve for political

purposes. Now a couple of times he failed to fill it up when the price dipped, and now they just said, well, we're not going to fill it up. I'm wondering if he's going to completely drain it out to try to get a temporary sugar high on gasoline prices before the election. He's done that in the past as well, so he may further deplete the strategic petroleum reserve. No other present has ever done that, not even Obama.

So zero EDG. I like this. We loved the smell of stagflation in the morning, and gold is rising along with FED policy errors and the FED risk of inflation. But it is not going to be stagflation like we had in the seventies. I think Jerald Slinty was right when he said it's going to be dragflation. I think we're going to see not just a stagnant economy, but a declining economy along with inflation. And has been saying this for over six or seven years. By the way, you can also subscribe to

And so I'll just mention one more thing here that could save you some money, perhaps if you haven't filed your income tax going back to twenty twenty. I saw this, and I was kind of surprised that they do this. They said, they've got the IRS figures that they've got a billion dollars

in tax refunds that remain unclaimed as of May seventeenth. However, if you haven't filed to claim money that was withheld by your employer or whatever that was excessive, they will just keep it if you file it after that date, after May seventeenth, if you've got refunds due to you from twenty twenty eight, they'll just keep it. They said, nearly a million Americans nine hundred and forty thousand have unclaimed refunds from the twenty twenty tax here, worth an

estimated one billion dollars. So you can read that as the IRS just pushing people to file a tax return. But if you've had money taken out with W two's or ten ninety nine's or anything like that. You need to pay attention to that because that deadline is approaching. And I didn't even know that there was a deadline after which they'll just keep the money. It sounds like something they would do. We'll be right back. Elvis the Beetle and the

You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well, I saw this from Gretchen Whitmer. She was on CNN and she had the CNN person was pressuring her on when unborn become people, and I thought it was kind of interesting because it very closely paralleled what we have seen in terms of the questions what is a woman? Well that I can't say what a woman is. I can't say what a baby is. I'm not a doctor. I can't tell you what a woman is. I'm not a doctor. I can't tell you

what a baby is. So on Tuesday, CNN is the source, Gretchen Whitmer was there. She respinded a question on if she considers frozen embryos to be people by stating that it doesn't matter what her view is. She said, what matters is what the parents and their doctor agree is whatever is right for them, how they define it. So a woman is how you define it. That's your truth. And it's whatever you know, this postmodernism, this post objectivism, it's whatever you say a woman is. Somebody says that

they're a woman, who am I to question them? I am not a doctor, and that's what she says. I'm not a doctor, and I'm

not in anyone's individual situation. Well, there isn't an objective reality. And the CNN host Caitlyn Collins pushed back and said, well, you just mentioned the concerns about what happened in Alabama with the Supreme Court there and with the IVF ruling, and really what that could mean for other reproductive rights on that ruling in Alabama, you have not said whether or not you agree that frozen embryos are considered people. So what is your position on that? She said,

who cares what my position is, Caitlin. What matters is what parents and their doctors agree on whatever is right for them. Not only we moved beyond situational ethics to situational reality. Everybody's got their truth. There is no absolute truth, and that is their absolute truth. They've got one truth that there is no absolute truth. So she said, that's the only one whose opinions should matter. The opinion of a judge matter, not a politician,

not a governor from a different state. That's what the fundamental question is here. Are we going to empower Americans to make their own health care decisions? Yes? Are we? Kritchen, you the worst of all these lockdown tyrants, the first ones to lock us down, the first ones to say we don't get to make any choices about our own healthcare, and then they fall back into well, my body, my choice when it comes to killing babies.

So is she going to have more lockdowns masks jabs. Oh, you better believe she will, because none of these people believe that you should define what your own healthcare is, and they don't believe that anybody should be able

to objectively say the two plus two equals four. You've actually got the abortion The chief one of the chief abortionists, the planned parenthead Bill Gates actually literally pushing out, we don't want right answers, and we don't want you to show your work, you know, with math attacking math, which is where

Warwell knew it was going to go. And so, as I mentioned, you know, we have this one candidate who is a radical progressive leftist, but she is also pro life, part of a group in DC that, based on tips, they got the bodies of a lot of aborted babies that were going to be put through an incinerator. And they got those bodies and they took pictures of them and they published them and they're trying to put them in jail for a long time. She decided though that she would run for

Congress. And if you're running for Congress, you can show pictures of aborted babies all ripped to pieces, as stomach turning and as nauseating as that is. She can do that and they can't censor her. And that's why she's running for Congress. And so this is from This is from Trevor Polo.

He was interviewed on life site News Jonathan Van Marin and Trevor Polo as a strategist for a pro life group in Michigan were Gretchen Whitmer rules the Ice Queen to discuss the results of a new report from them on the effectiveness of what they call abortion victim photography. That's what we're talking about. The lady who's running for Congress showing the pictures of aborted babies. They call that victim photography. Very gruesome, very bloody, horrific to look at. And we need

to confront the truth even when it's awful, don't we. We're going to run from that, I type. People get really strong feelings when you show them pictures of ripped up babies. As I said before, you know Matt Drudge, you know, when I met him, I thanked him for showing the pictures of baby Samuel who his mother was having an operation and in utero operation of this baby. They found out the baby had spina bifida. They could do some corrective surgery that they thought would have more of an effect if

they did it before the baby was born. And as a surgeon is doing the surgery, the baby reaches up through the hole they cut and the mother and the little tiny hen grabs the pinky. You've all seen that picture, I think, and Matt Drudge showed that on Fox News and they fired him, and so I said, thank you for doing that. They really made

a difference. I know somebody who whose baby was in that same position and had been diagnosed as having spina bifida and was able to get that surgery because that went viral and he to make that go viral and they kicked him off of Fox. But he said, oh that, He said, no, I just did that because I when I get out of my contract with Fox. He knew that Fox is going to fire him. And this is not

this is not a gruesome picture really. I mean, you know, there was blood there because the mother had been cut open, but this is a picture of a living baby and all of its humanity and it's fully formed, tiny hands grabbing that pinky, and it was a beautiful picture of life, baby Samuel. But that was bad enough for Fox News that they would fire him and get him out of his contract for putting up something like that.

Isn't that amazing? So you can imagine how people react to victim photography where they have ripped these babies apart and then they reconstruct them on the table. Do we get both arms out, both legs out, that type of thing. It's sick, it's disgusting, and it's happening. It's real, you know, just like there's a reality as to what a woman is and there's a reality as to when life begins, and there is a reality to this murder that is happening here, and we need to get back to reality to

stop it. Yes, it is disgusting and it needs to be stopped for that very reason. So anyway, what they did was this pro life Protect Life Michigan did report and they wanted to see how that, whether or not showing victim photography would change people's minds. And so they said, they said this out to twelve hundred adults and they ask questions about their views on abortion

while depicting various images. One group would answer questions while looking at an image of an abortion victim, but the other group would answer the same questions while looking at a generic pro life message. So let's let's give people a pro life message. Let's show the beauty of children, the wonder of childhood. You know, we got the kid running through the field or something I guess, I don't know. Or then you would show them the anti murder images.

Okay, here's here's the murder, here's the murder victim, and with all the blood and everything else, what did they find? They found thirty one percent of respondents harbored negative feelings towards pro lifers to begin with, Polo said that serves as a baseline figure. No matter what pro lifers do, roughly a third of the people will always oppose them and their message. That's a given. But then the interesting results came when the victim imagery was used.

Negative feelings toward pro lifers actually increased from thirty one to forty percent. It made people mad to see that, and they got mad at the pro life people for showing that image. Isn't that interesting? How dare you show that? To me? It's like, how dare you support that happening. At the same time, however, negative feelings toward abortion also increased, of course, and so he believes that's a positive sign of what he calls intellectual

distress. He said, you've got to put people in this intellectual distress. You've got to make them uncomfortable to actually change their minds. They said, you know what you're looking at here. You've got a hardcore group of people, about a third of them, that are never going to change their mind and you probably got a hardcore group of people, about a third of them maybe that are going to support life. And what we're looking at is who's

going to change the hearts and minds of that mushy middle. The people who are lukewarm about this stuff, and a lot of them would get upset you're showing this to me, But then they would also get upset with the murder as well. And so he said, when we're thinking about, Okay, how can we be strategic with our time, our investment, our persuasion strategy,

we should be looking at what moves that middle. They're most moved by victim imagery, and they're least likely to feel upset at pro lifers for using it. However, one discouraging result of the survey showed that decreased support for abortion did not translate to a concomitant level of increased support for abortion bans. Isn't that amazing? So, yeah, you show these pictures of a murder to these and they don't want to ban the murder. Oh yeah, I

don't like murder, but let's not ban it. I mean, that's what they're saying, right, He says he's not surprised by this. He says he notes how the persuadable mushy middle also doesn't consider abortion major issue to warrant sudden changes to their political identity. That's an interesting way to put it. Your political identity, right, people have a political identity. That's who I am. I'm a Democrat, I'm a Republican, I'm a libertarian, I'm

a Green Party, I'm an independent, whatever. That's my political identity, and that has become so important to Americans, has it. Well, that's not something that was around at the beginning of this country. The founders hated political parties for good reason. They were wise and they knew how political parties would be used to control people, how they would be used to supplant people when it comes to issues and policies like this. So these people care more

about their political identity and who they vote for. They got an attachment to that avatar that represents their political identity. Yeah, they don't care about the donkey and the elephant thing, but they do care about the Biden and the Trump, don't They The people that are there a big part of their political identity, and so they care about that more than they care about babies being ripped apart. That disturbs them to see it, But their real loyalty is

to that political identity. That's what I say it is a religion, and it is idolatry. He believes that the pro life movement needs to lead with our victim, the unborn child more often. He says, the movement needs to uncompromisingly defend the humanity of the unborn, even if it means losing some conservative allies who are only opportunistically pro life, you know, like Trump and most of these Republicans. You know, what do I have to do.

I'm gonna make everybody happy. You got to see, you're going to love this compromise I've got. Yeah, I'm going to set it up so I'm going to change the time period of which you can rip babies apart, and you're going to love it. South Dakota Governor Christy Nome wrote a commentary that got put on real clear wire. I guess she's still lobbying very hard to become vice president. She even traveled, you know, to Iowa to get on stage with Trump. People said, wow, I've never seen anybody lobby

so hard to become vice president. But she is a lukewarm opportunist. You could see that when it came to the trainy athletics, right, guys, And not just the fact that they're in the girls dressing room and the showers and all the rest of the stuff, but the fact that they're going to compete with them on sports, and so she was very much you know, she stuck her finger, wet her finger and stuck it in the air and see which way the wind is blowing. And the wind was blowing against that.

And so she joined in with the Republican Party and South Dakota and said, yeah, we're going to stop that. We're going to ban that. So they go ahead and they pass it and then they send it to her to sign it, and she decided. In the meantime, she had been contacted with the NCAA, and I guess she was starting to think about her national political career outside of South Dakota, and she backed down because she is a lukewarm opportunist on all of these issues. That's why she should be perfect

for Trump. Malleable, no principles in my state, she said, we showed moms that we are here to help them. See, the government is your savior. And now what it is is that Republicans want to apply welfare. They're not going to do this with private individuals, not going to do it with churches and things like that. No, the approach that Republicans want to take now, this is I've said over and over again, the Republicans have become the Democrats of my youth. The Democrats have become the Marxists of

my youth. Because now the Republicans are saying, no government will be there to save you. We'll make sure that we've got the welfare and the incentives. We're not going to go back to tell churches, hey, you know, let's strengthen our ability to take care of the poor and the indigen or whatever. That's not the main thrust of churches, but it is there. It is there. You make your church all about social gospel and everything, you're going to miss the real gospel. But but Jesus is pretty clear that

we look after the needs of other people. Oh yeah, go on your way. I hope you're well fed. I you know, bless you may you have lots to eat and clothes to wear. But I'm not going to give you anything. Here's a religious track, but I'm not going to give you anything. Okay. That's also that's also not a good idea. That doesn't work, And that wasn't even what America was about when it began. Alexis Tooegel was amazed that when Americans had a need, they would come together

and voluntarily create non governmental institutions. He say, it's very different than what we see in socialist France and socialist France. Everybody sets back. There's a problem. What's the government going to do about it? Now you've got conservatives doing that as well. When I was a kid, that was just Democrats who did it. But now conservatives are believers and big government, and government needs to be there to solve all of our problems. And that's what Christynoma

is saying. In my state, we showed moms that we are here to help them. Well, so maybe we can stop murder if we give people more welfare incentives. Is that how it works? I don't know. I don't think so, she said. The left says that pro life laws will lead to higher maternal mortality, but maternal mortality actually dropped by sixty percent in South Dakota in the first full year after the court's ruling. This should be the headline out of this whole essay. That was the take home. You

know, the reality is is that abortion is not safe healthcare. That's why that happened. Few abortions, few pregnant women are dying. We have to expose. However, on the other hand, that every Democrat in the US Senate voted to allow abortion at any time, for any reason, right up until the moment of birth, and they demanded that you pay for it. Well, that's right as well. We should expose that. But there is

something else going on. I liked this article from Life site News. This is about a medical doctor, doctor George Delgado, who is also pro life, and he says, we have a protocol that we can use to reverse this abortion pill, and that has become the go to means of abortion for many people after this Supreme Court decision and the actions in a lot of these different states. As I call him a pioneer of life saving abortion pill reversal

protocol. He encouraged a pro life gathering to proclaim the truth about the sanctity of human life, especially for women in crisis. He said, it's important to speak the truth about life and about the abortion pill reversal in our respective areas of influence, so that women can have a second chance at choice, at choice, and think about that, you know, they make a choice and say, well, I'm going to take the abortion pill and kill the baby, and they think about it. I would rather it had not made

that choice. If they regret that, they would like to have another choice, well, he gives them another choice up to a certain point. So, and he's also a Christian. He's a chemical abortion consists of two drugs, mefapristone if I'm pronouncing it, I just usually call it mephistopheles and miso prostall. The Mephistopheles brocks blocks progesterone and the pregnant mother's system and starves the

unborn baby of nutrients. Then the miso prostall, taken a day or so after the Mephistopheles, causes the woman to go into labor, and if the chemical abortion is successful, she will deliver her deceased child. Isn't that nice?

And because they want to do this now by mail, you don't have a physician looking to see if the baby is too far advanced to physically large, because that's going to very based on person to person, So they're not looking to that and they're not there to help you to deliver that dead Maybe, oh, what could possibly be wrong with that? Right? You're going to see a lot. This is not about women's health. It's about killing people, and if they can get the mother, people like Bill Gates are

just fine with that. So it now accounts for well over half of all US abortions. Proponents in the abortion industry, media and beyond work to quash awareness and success of the APR protocol as it represents the antidote to chemical abortion demonstrates the fact that many women regret the abortion choice after they've taken that pill. If a woman is taking the first chemical abortion drug mephistopheles we'll call it, and experiences regret. If she acts quickly enough, she may be able

to save her child through the abortion pill reversal. The progesterone protocol used in the abortion pill reversal process has been routinely and safely used to combat miscarriages since the nineteen fifties. So if you're going to block the mephistopheles, then this protocol is just simple. It's like, well, let's put in more progesterone

and we'll get around that blockage. A twenty eighteen per reviewed study showed positive results of APR, with sixty four to sixty eight percent of the pregnancy saved, no increase in birth defects, and lower pre term delivery rate than the general population. He said, those who are baptized, here's this Christian I think he says, be a prophetic voice. He said, those of you who are baptized have the mission to spread the Gospel. We're there to be

a prophetic voice, he said. Now, lot of times, you know, I've talked about how words change. You know, if you look up in a regular dictionary, you'll see prophetic. It is always about predicting the future. Now one hundred percent about predicting the future. I've talked about hope in the past. Hope at the time that it was used in some of the early English translations, like the King James version that meant a confident expectation.

But now that English word has changed, even though the underlying Greek word has not changed and the concept has not changed. We have changed the meaning of English words over some of these translations, and so they continue though to use these same words even though their English meaning has changed. And so the same thing is really true prophetic voice. Right, if you go back and look at the original use of that in some of these many places where it

use some many times it was used to predict the future. But we have Ezekiel, for example, and the Valley of dry Bones. God says to him, prophesie of these bones. He's not telling him to predict the future for these bones. Even though this says, this whole passage is kind of a symbolic prophecy of the future. But what he's saying is speak to these bones. And actually, if you look at the original word there, what it really means is a speech that kind of bubbles up, that kind of

pours forth with a lot of emotion. It's frequently used of people doing songs, and so what he's talking about here is a very enthusiastic, emotional state of mind speaking to them. And I think that's what this doctor means when he says we need to be a prophetic voice. He says, I want to educate you and make you enthusiastic profits about abortion pill reversal because too few people know about it these days, few women who need it, too few

people who could influence them in their time of crisis. So he said, I want you to know that using abortion pill reversal is safe, it is effective. Women who are given that second chance in life are extremely grateful.

They have shared that gratitude, and they have been extremely grateful. Even the times when we have been unsuccessful that's about a third of the time and the baby has died anyway, they are still extremely grateful because they had a chance to try to save their babies, and this has given them a redemptive effect, he said. This is why prayers for these women are very important too.

He says they'll have a change of heart, that they will have a change of heart, and that they will accept that grace and forgiveness from the Lord. He told the pro life gathering that is estimated now in twenty twenty four that at least sixty five percent of all abortions in the United States are chemical abortion, way more than half. He had been told that as well. The chemical abortion rate in Nebraska was seventy five percent of all abortions.

This is why they're moving to So that's why you know, if you know about this and you know somebody who is pregnant considering an abortion, that's why you need to be able to let them know. He says. It's also a great opportunity because remember, anytime the devil pounces, God can always turn that into good. So remember that's the prophetic message, is that this bad

news is an opportunity. It's an opportunity to save more lives. It's an opportunity to save the physical life of the preborn baby who's being threatened, who's on now death row, and it's an opportunity to save the spiritual life of that mother. So they have calculated that over five thousand documented births have taken place of people who have already taken that abortion pill after they get of them,

the reversal protocol, babies who have been saved from mephistopheles. We have helped women, and that's just their organization, Heartbeat International, saving five thousand lives. We have helped women in all fifty states, in about seventy different countries. We've helped a spawn regional networks in Australia, Russia, Switzerland, and Canada. So this is truly an international project, one that is really bearing fruit right now, no pun intended. I guess, he says.

Their problem, their big problem is listening to this the FDA. The FDA has been dragging their feet blocking randomized control trial. I mean, wouldn't they aren't they about choice? Aren't they about women's health. Well, of course we know they're not. They are anti choice, they're anti health. They are in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry and other mass murders, the abortion

industry as well. And so with all that, you know, I saw this article on a Christian magazine World, and it struck me that the title politics is not downstream from culture. Oh yes, it is. I beg to differ. So I looked at this article and I thought, what is the case this guy is trying to make. I have said many times in the past that politics is downstream from culture. I truly believe that he says.

Well, a lot of people repeat these false ideas. Just saying it doesn't make it untrue, but he doesn't give any example to refute it. And not only that, not only is politics downstream from culture, but culture is downstream from religion. And you'll understand why this guy says it when I tell you at the end of all this, who he is and who he works for. But this is what he says. On the list of things that people say that just aren't so, the phrase politics is downstream from culture

deserves at the top of that list. Whatever nuggative truth it may hold it is a hackneyed saying that does real harm. By minimizing the role that politics and policy play in society, you might start to get the idea of where this guy hangs out, how he makes his money. At this point, right, he's in the politics and policy. Business. Politics and the policy that results from it are the headwaters of the various streams that collectively become our

culture. Politics and policy shape our culture at its most basic level. Okay, pal, tell us how you know that? Well, he says, I recently learned that in Canada, a law popularly known as can Con requires that a specific percentage of radio and TV broadcasts must be content that has written, produced, or otherwise created by Canadians. As a result, there exists a cultural world north of the border full of television stars and rock stars that

most Americans have never heard of. Okay, let's stop right there. So these are people that they've heard of because the government has mandated that they get a spot and people hear their stuff, and yet they don't survive in the free market, in the bigger market. That's not to say that they aren't better than when we look at the state of pop music. Just like the state of the movies and all the rest of our culture. It is abysmal.

And these people probably are local folk musicians and stuff like that. They're probably much better. I would probably like them much better than I would the pop music that I don't listen to, because I do listen to folk music and stuff. But they probably are superior. But it is not the choice of the people. It's a government forcing a culture. Right. And so when he says the government is the head stream, what he means by that

is the government is going to dictate to people what their culture is. That government is setting the policy of what people can see and hear. So of course it is going to be dominant in that cultural thing. Is that the right way should we be going to that? So it is I used to focus on politics as being the primary thing, the headstream, as this guy's doing it, But that was twenty five thirty five years ago. I don't

believe that anymore. It is the product. It is the product of what people think and believe, unless that is you live in a dictatorship and hear. What he's saying is that they're going to dictate what people can here on the radio and so, and he gives some examples of some of these things that none of us would know, but he says similar the policies are once featured as part of cultural production in the United States. So here's his US

example. In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Roosevelt administration began working with studio executives in Hollywood. Roosevelt established the Office of War Information to provide reliable information to the public about the war and to build domestic support for the war. What we're talking about here is government propaganda. It doesn't have to be a lie to be government propaganda. You know, we talk

about white propaganda and black propaganda. White propaganda would be we're going to tell you the truth. We're not going to tell you all the truth. We're only going to tell you nice, happy things about our country or our government, or our culture or whatever. We're only going to tell you the good stuff, the happy news. But that's propaganda if you don't tell all the truth, right, the whole truth. They're telling the truth, but they're

not telling the whole truth. Now, black propaganda is when your enemy lies to you. Okay, So the white propaganda is telling you the truth but nothing negative. So they're not telling you the whole truth, so it's still propaganda. The black propaganda is a lie, typically from your enemy. And so what he's saying is is that we had culture from Roosevelt during wartime that was based on giving people propaganda. He said. They promulgated a manual for

the motion picture industry on how to promote democratic principles. The Bureau also reviewed and evaluated film scripts to determine whether they furthered the war effort. They did that in World War One as well. Woodrow Wilson and the first early early stages of the movie business. A guy who did a movie. His name was Goldstein or Goldberg or something like that, but he had done costumes and things like that war Birth of a Nation, which was about the Civil War

and about reconstruction. It was D. W. Griffith. But the important thing about it was it was the first time somebody had done a long term narrative movie with a story arc and all that other kind of stuff, and it had meticulously recreated scenes from the Civil War, the signing of the Treaty at Appomatics, the assassination of Lincoln, and other things like that. Well, this guy had done those and he decided that he wanted to do another

historical effort, and so he did the Spirit of seventy six. So he decided that he would do a movie about the Revolutionary War. But Roosevelt wanted us to get involved in World War One on the side of the British, and he didn't want the British portrayed as bad guys, and so he threatened his office, his World War One equivalent of this office, told this guy, you got to censor the scenes where the British are the bad guys out of this. It's like, well, that's the whole movie, and that's

the whole point. And so he refused to do it, and he showed it a couple of different places, showed in Chicago, showed la. They arrested him. They gave him a ten yured jail sentence and a massive fine that would be millions of dollars today, because this is before Woodrow Wilson got involved in the creation of the Federal Reserve that destroyed nearly, you know, nine nine percent of the purchasing value of money. So it was a massive

fine, a massive jail term. He appealed to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court said the First Amendment does not apply to movies. Wow, So they reversed themselves by the nineteen fifties. But that was in place for about thirty years, and that was all because of war propaganda. Now, is the government the headwaters of culture or is it simply dictating things? He goes

on to say. By January nineteen forty two, just one month after Pearl Harbor, Warner Brothers had purchased the film rights to a play called Everybody Comes to ricks All Bugust, filming had wrapped on the story of a recalcitrant American expat whose love for a woman ultimately leads him to embrace the virtues of duty and self sacrifice. Later, they retitled it to Casablanca and rather than Humphrey Bogart that originally considered Ronald Reagan for the role of white House. That's just

what that means. The initial release of the film was moved up to November nineteen forty two to coincide with Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa, because that's where it's set. So they're working hand in glove with that, And they've been doing that kind of stuff ever since. This guy thinks

that this is essential. He thinks that this is real culture. He thinks that when you got the military and the intelligence community doing predictive programming and manipulating things, you know, I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the Civil War movie is coming out right now, all that kind of stuff. Oh that's a good thing, isn't it. He said, they're creating culture so to

coincide with the invasion of North Africa. It then went into national release in January nineteen forty three, at the same time as the historic Casa Blanca conference. This thus, a film that some critics consider the best of all time in some ways, was downstream from politics. This is his example. He's talking about government dictating things to people. That's not real culture, folks. We don't want a wartime dictatorship. And that's what he's talking about here.

And then he brings us more into the contemporary time and he starts talking about the Internet. He says Section two thirty allows certain Internet platforms such as Facebook and x to operate without being subject to the same laws that govern publishers like newspapers. The theory that they're just distributors of third party content the law also protects these platforms from liability when they moderate certain content on their platform. We

call that censorship. He calls it content sensors call it content moderation. And so the purpose of section two thirty is to protect these corporations from lawsuit when they censor on behalf of the government. Just like they made this movie on behalf of the government, they censor on behalf of the government. And in a roundabout way, he's admitting this now, and he works for an organization that has always been wrong about censorship, the biggest conservative think tank out there,

the Heritage Foundation. He is a vice president of government relations at the Heritage Foundation. He is a worshiper a big government, a worshiper of government propaganda, a worshiper of government censorship, and they always has been. When we got purged, I was not surprised. I got to say, after I read this thing to see where he was from. I didn't know where he was from when I started reading this thing. I just thought, this

is absolutely wrong, and every aspect of this article is wrong. It's no wonder that the conservative movement is so far off track because they follow the likes of these people pushing government as the legitimate creator of culture and all the rest of stuff. Look what he's talking about here with this section two thirty stuff. He says, those who see that so much of our culture is going awry should take seriously the role that law and policy play and shaping who we

are, what we think, and what we value. This kind of attitude from conservatives is what created government schools and gave them the pre eminent position in the first place. And then that was taken over, wasn't it. And now they've become the tools of propaganda and Marxism because there were conservatives that thought, you know, this is a great idea. We need to use propaganda and doctrination, and we'll create an institution to do that. Then the lefties

come in and take care of it. You know, Brad Little during the COVID lockdowns, the Republican governor of Idaho, and they had a Republican legislature. But of course, you know, they picked a year to run this thing when a lot of legislators legislatures were not meeting. You know, a lot of conservative states, they don't meet every year, they meet every other year. That was the case in Texas. Is a case in Idaho.

But they were going to pull together a special session, and the governor there, Brad Little, said no, you're not, and he shut it down. Then he came up with his own legislation. They were going to stop these these lockdown things that he had been paid by Trump to put in place. And then he came up with his own idea and called them back in

and said here, sign this, and they did. And in his legislation he said was if your business tells people they got to wear a mask, they got to stay six feet apart, and all the rest of the stuff. This is early on before they had a shot. If they do all this stuff, and if you make them do that to come into your business, if you say you can't come in here unless you're wearing a mask. If somebody gets COVID and they decide that they're going to sue you, we

will hold you harmless. But if you don't make them wear a mask, I don't know, you know, they just might sue you out of business if they get COVID and we won't raise a finger to help you. It's that kind of coercion. That's what the government does with the Section two thirty stuff. Well, we're going to give you liability protection if you censor the people we tell you to censor, and if you don't do that, we're

going to throw you to the wolves of the lawsuits. That's exactly. And of course there's other things that are going on behind the scenes, corruption and crony capitalism with Facebook and all these social media companies looking for favors from the

government that they will get if they play ball with them. But it's also that that lawsuit liability that's there, same thing was done by Brad Little, and of course the Heritage Foundation supported that kind of censorship when Trump was present and after Trump was present, and when we look at the fact that they embraced these you know, the fact that conservatives embraced government school, and we're

going to run these values through government school. We're going to have kids standing up and pledging allegiance and saying prayers at the beginning of school and all this other kind of stuff that we like. And so we're going to support that

and guess what gets taken over. And that's a Marxist strategy. That is something that came from the guy who founded and really established one of the great Marxist leaders in terms of effectiveness, not in terms of I don't agree with anything they did, but he was very successful Antonio Gramsey in Italy, and he looked at what these other communist revolutionaries had done and how they'd use violence and revolution to take over. He said, I've got a better way.

He said, we will conduct a war of position. That's what he called it. Now he was there, you know, he was alive for about forty years or whatever, from like eighteen ninety nineteen thirty something, and so he came with the idea of war position, We're going to take over the

institutions. And then in nineteen sixty seven a guy named Rudy Deutsch called it the long March through the institutions because he looked at both Gramsey and at Mao's long march, and that's exactly what this is, a very long, persistent, patient march to take over the institution. By the way, you know, Booty Gay Pete Boutier, that's his dad always spent his life work o

name. His dad was an immigrant from Malta and a communist, and he made it his life work to study and to elevate teachings of Antonio Gramsey. The Italian Marxist. And then when it was time for Bootyguet Pete Boutiger to go to to go to school, he sent him to Harvard to study under a guy who had changed his name to Honor Socco and Venzetti. These were

Italian communist Italian Marxists. That there was a big wave of Italians who migrated to the United States in the early twentieth century, and many of them came in as Marxist revolutionaries. Socco and Venzetti were a couple who were caught in a crime and executed. They became heroes to the left who said that they were railroaded, that they really didn't do it, but there's ample evidence that they did. But this book guy at Harvard who became the mentor for Pete

Booty Gay, I call him Booty Marks. I've called him Booty Marks in the past as well. He changed his name to Honor Soako and Venzetti. And his big villain in history, Berkovich's is and again it would be Pete Booty Marks. The big villain for them were the Christians who founded this country,

the Pilgrims who founded this country. They have been apathetical to christ and Christians in this country and in every revolution in every country, and so when we look at what is happening, I was surprised to see a couple of these articles actually put on the Drudge Report, because usually he doesn't put up articles that are sympathetic to Christians. And actually these articles really were laying out

what the issue is. When I talked about the fact that Richard Dawkins said, I'm a cultural Christian, he says, I don't believe any of this stuff, and I'm glad to see the Christianity is disappearing. But he says, I, you know, I kind of want the culture and I want the good things. I want the you know, he doesn't call the blessings,

but he wants the blessings without God. As I said, just like Ben Shapiro, he doesn't believe the Bible, he doesn't believe the miracles in the Bible, but he wants that land that Moses said was given to him. He does, but he calls Moses a liar. But anyway, the Telegraph said Christianity's decline has unleashed terrible new gods. He said, not since the Road to Damascus has there been a more notable spiritual about face than the

one made this week. With Richard Dawkins having spent a career breathing threats against the Disciples of the Lord, a certain Richard Dawkins is struck in a moment of realization, they say, before we start preparing the baptismal font. However, it's worth noting that Dawkins says he remains happy that the UK is declining Christian faith and that those beliefs are nonsense, but he also says that he enjoys living in a Christian society. This betrays a certain level of cultural free

writing. The survival of a society's Christian undercurrent depends on others buying into the quote unquote nonsense, even if he doesn't. Though Dawkins has spoken of his cultural Christianity before, this feels like another staging post on a journey toward the Good Professor finally admitting that the New Atheism of which he was such a shining light was wrong in critical respects. Now, when they talk about the new Atheism, what they're talking about is Richard Dawkins, who had his book The

God Delusion. You had Christopher Hitchens, now deceased, who wrote his book about the same time saying God is great. You had Bill Maher who did a movie called Religious making fun of Christians and so forth. That's what they're talking about, the new atheism. First and it's almost touching naivete that a post Christian world would give way to a values neutral space that would be rooted

in reason. If we just get these crazy Christians out of the way, we can have a society that is like their technocracy, the scientists, and all the rest of this stuff. Secondly, and it's semi adolescent diagnosis of Christianity as a retardant upon culture and intellectual progress, so he says. Author says, like all good conversions, there is an element of repentance, though

unlike Paul's, Dawkins hasn't had to go blind for three days. Well, actually, Dawkins has been blind most of his life and blind to what really matters in his own life. Really, you know, his lack of faith doesn't affect me, doesn't harmy, doesn't make me angry. I feel sorry for him, like a nice guy. As he says about Christians, they seem to be decent people. Well, he seems to be a decent person. Not a lot of hatred and invective that seems to be evident for people.

He does have it for God, and that's the issue for him. One reason for Dawkins's change of heart might be a good old fashioned scientific observation. New Atheism was mistaken in its diagnosis of what would follow religion's decline. The rational world that we were promised has not materialized, and a nasty or less reasonable one is supplanting what was there before. Nowhere is this more obvious

than in Scotland. Dechristianization has occurred there at a faster rate. Membership in the National Church of Scotland has fallen by thirty five percent and ten years. A Scottish friend recently explained to me that every place where he had come to faith, where he was christened, where his father was buried, every one of these places have been shut or sold. This is not only a national tragedy, but a personal one for him. New atheism assumed that as people

abandoned Christianity, they would embrace a sort of enlightened secular position. The death of Christian Scotland shows that this was wrong. Faith there has been replaced by derangement and the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment, which rose out of Christian principles, now worships intolerant new gods. And we're talking about the LGBT stuff. And the guy who, interestingly enough, the Prime Minister of Scotland now is

a guy whose parents immigrate here from Pakistan. He was born in Scotland, but his parents came from Pakistan, and he really hates Scotland. I talked about this several years ago. He says, I'll go into these meetings and I'll be the only person there who's not white. It's like, well, why don't you go somewhere where you feel more at home then, Like, if it matters so much to you the skin color of everybody else and you feel like such an outcast, go somewhere where you fit in instead of trying

to destroy Scotland, which is what he has done. You know, when they passed this new heinous law, which is really kind of the point of why they're talking about this draconian hate crime legislation. When they passed that and you had, uh, the woman who wrote Harry Potter, what's her name? I forget to get it. She pushed against that and and and said go ahead and arrest me, go ahead and arrest me, and they didn't, and they gave they blinked because she's too high a profile figure. And

so she's done a great service. But the interesting thing is that there's been more complaints about a hate crime and racism about filed in Scotland against this Prime Minister who hates the fact that he's the only non white person around. There's many more complaints about him racism then there has been and hatred about that. Then there have been about the so called hatred of the author, who does

not actually have any hatred. She just hates the fact that they are giving special rights to people who say they're women and they're not, and then not giving any protection at all to women. She's a feminist. Not that things are much better south of border, where we have de facto blasphemy laws into which a teacher can be forced into hiding in south of Bordermania in England for showing his class a cartoon of the prophet Muhammed. Certainly not the neutral,

secular space that we were promised when Christian society went away. I'm reminded of Levin's epiphany at the end of Anna Karna. He was a dissatisfied religious skeptic, plagued with doubt over the purpose of existence. Yet he finally comes to a stark realization about the real roots of his belief and the limits of a rational life. He had lived without being aware of it, on those spiritual truths that he had sucked in with his mother's milk. That's the way it's

put in the book. Isn't that interesting? He had spiritual truths that he had sucked in with his mother's milk, but he had thought, not merely without recognition that these truths, but he ignored them. And this isn't that interesting? Because you know, we talk about the fact it used to be a popular saying, the hand that rock is the cradle rules the world, and that really is true. That's why the government wants to give free health

care to the kids. Send the hand that rocks the cradle, the mother to work away from the families, split the family up, get the kid away from the mom, don't tell the parents what we're doing with the kids, and raise them the way we want to do them. That's the way every authoritarian society has always worked in the past. That's why our society is

changing so rapidly. Yes, that kind of culture and religion is being generated and foisted by the government, and that's not the kind of society we want. The conservatives, the political conservatives, may want that, and they do want that, and that's why we've got to wake up to that. These people are not our allies and friends. They are not We are not going to break this unless we have the hand that rocks the cradle, the mother

that is there feeding these spiritual truths along with mother's milk. That is the

issue. That is how we fight this one on one at the local level, at the family level, at the community level. That's how we fight this stuff. And then finally there is this additional article. This is from the Atlantic, the True cost of the Church going Bust, And they're what they say is more Americans today have converted out of religion than have converted to

all forms of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam combined. No faith evangelism has been as successful in this century as religious skepticism, because that's the evangelism that is sold to kids from the earliest of time. Let's get them in daycare centers, let's put them in schools, let's keep them longer. Let's make sure they don't even advance the next grade unless we've got them there every day,

because psychological conditioning is what's really important. We've got these institutions primed to do this, and they are very successful at it, and it is causing the rapid disintegration of our society. We have government as messiah. Government is God, and it's no wonder that when you put government in the place of God, no wonder that people start looking at these political leaders like Trump and others as messiah. That's why am I AGAs worshiping Trump, because they first

worship government. They think that all these things can be fixed by government, and they're being sold that lie by these institutions like the Heritage Foundation. I guess you know, when they look at Trump, he is the bodily expression of an omnipotent godlike government, so of course they're going to worship him. That's why I keep getting this question, well, who are you supporting for president? Nobody? Nobody. I don't even support the office of president anymore,

not in its current form. Go back to the constitutional form of it. Not in its current form. I don't support it. But you know it used to be when I was going up, people ask you questions like, you know, so are you a Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, something like that. Now it's like you Republican, Democrat, Independent, what do you so? You know, that's people's religion. That's what's really important about it. It's their political identity. As we were saying before, that's what

That's how they envisioned themselves. That's how they valued themselves and how they value other people as well. That's why this country is so easily controlled because it is divided along these political lines. Heritage Foundation will tell you that politics is above culture and all the rest and religion. But they're just being self serving about this. They're just saying, now, this is the most important thing,

so send money to our political organization here, the Heritage Foundation. More Americans today have converted out of this than and again it's all of these religions combined. Seventy percent of Americans told Gallop that they belonged to a church in nineteen thirty seven, and by the nineteen eighties it was still seventy percent. But suddenly in the nineteen nineties the ranks of non believers started surging. In twenty twenty one, membership and houses of worships fell below a majority for the

first time on record, less than fifty percent. Well, what happened the year before? What we had our God liked Messiah, who was so Christian. Donald Trump shut the churches down. And I blame the churches because people looked at the church and said, well, obviously these people don't believe what they're telling us if they would shut down anyway. Likely relates to changes in

both politics and family life, says this author. In the nineteen seventies and the eighties, the religious right became a formidable fundraising machine for their Publican party. This is where it became politicized right. And when you mix politics with religion, what do you get politics? And that's when they changed the religion

of the right from religion to politics. As a GOP consolidated its advantage amongst conservative Christians, religion seemed less appealing to liberal young people, especially if they or their parents already had a tenuous relationship with the church. In the late nineteen eighties, only one out of ten liberals said they didn't belong to any religion. Thirty years later, however, that figure was four in ten.

Went from one to ten to four in ten. And again part of that is because well, if Christianity's going to be associated with the Republicans, and I don't like Christianity, that's a big part of this partisanship stuff. They're not going to evaluate safe. And we saw this when we started talking about you know, the vaccine and other things like that. It even became a factor with CBDC. That's why I said, well, okay, so if O RFK Junior is running as a Democrat, maybe you know, that would

help because up to that point only Republicans had pushed back against CBDC. But they're just two authoritarian If it's something that is going to control other people's lives, they're going to be on it. So that relationship with organized religion provided many things all at once, not only a connection to the divine but also an historical narrative of identity, a set of rituals to organize the weak and year, and a community of families for the dwindling number of Americans who still

attend services a few times of years. Included experiencing religion in a community and instilling values in their church and their children. I'm sorry. And so these are the types of things that Richard Dawkins is saying, Well, you know, we're losing all this as we lose Christianity. These are real, tangible things, the idea of community and family. This article from the Atlantic is really spot on. The US is in the midst of a historically unprecedented decline

and face to face socializing. The social collapse is the steepest for some of the group with the largest decline in religiosity. Boys and girls aged ages fifteen to nineteen have reduced their hangouts by more than three hours a week. According to the American Time Use Survey. There is no statistical record of any period in US history where young people were less likely to attend religious services, and

also no period when young people have spent more time on their own. They've been very successful and isolating us from other humans, and a large part of this is shutting down the churches, as Trump did with his lockdown. A similar story holds for working class Americans. In twenty nineteen, a team of researchers the survey, based on long interviews conducted from two thousand to twenty thirteen with older, low income men without a college degree in working class neighborhoods around

the country. They found that since the nineteen seventies, church attendance among white men without a college degree had fallen even more than among white college graduates. For many of these men, the loss of religion went hand in hand with a retreat from marriage. As marriage declined, men's church attendants might have fallen in tandem. Today, low income and unmarried men have more alone time than almost any other group. So we're being isolated from people and churches. We're

being isolated from even marriage and spending time alone. And of course we know this everywhere, but this is why we are seeing this kind of decline in our society. People today say they have fewer places to go to live a collective life. Places that used to anchor community life, like libraries and school gyms and union halls, have become less accessible or shuttered altogether. Many people having loss of scaffolding of organized religion seem to have found no alternative method to

build a sense of community. We have our digital, isolated lives, our

virtual lives instead of life in the real world. Just as American churches were depopulated, America developed a new relationship with technology that in many ways is the diabolical opposite of a religious ritual, the smartphone and really diabolical in the sense of diabolos right the devil, as the social psychologist Jonathan Hate writes in his new book The Anxious Generation, to stare into a piece of glass in our hands, to be removed from our bodies, to float placelessly, and content

cosmos, to scam our attention from one piece of ephemera to the next. The Internet is timeless and the best and the worst of ways, and everything store with no opening or closing time. In the virtual world. There is no daily, weekly, or annual calendar with structures that people can and cannot do do things. Digital life is disembodied, asynchronous, shallow and solitary.

And you see this even when people get together and we've all seen maybe we've done it ourselves, set there looking at our phone instead of talking to the people that we're with, even when we're with people. On the other hand, he said, religious rituals are the opposite in almost every respect. They put us in our body some kinds of movement that marks the activity as devotional

Christians nil Muslims. Prostate religious ritual also fixes us in time. It forces us to set aside an hour or day for prayer, for reflection, or for separation from daily habit. It's no surprise that people describe a scheduled break from their digital devices as a sabbath. Finally, religious ritual often requires that we make contact with a sacred in the presence of other people, whether in a church, a mosque, or a synagogue, or even over a dinner

table prayer. In other words, the religious ritual is typically embodied, synchronous, deep, and collective, as opposed to the alternative, which is disembodied instead of embodied, asynchronous instead of synchronous, shallow instead of deep, and solitary instead of collective. So he says, I wonder if in foregoing organized religion, an isolated country has discarded an old and proven source of ritual at a time when we most need it. Making friends as an adult can be

hard, is especially hard without a scheduled weekly reunion of congregants. Finding meaning in the world is hard, too. It's a special difficult if the oldest system of meaning making holds less and less appeal. It took decades for Americans to lose religion, it might take decades to understand the entirety of what we lost. Well, that's a more detailed explanation of what Richard Dawkins is feeling in an American context when he's talking about it in a British context, isn't

it. And that is exactly the problem that so many of us face.

That is, everything that they seek to do to us is to put us into a digital, virtual world where we are isolated from each other everything. And yet what do we have on our side. Well, we have people like David French, who is a professing Christian, at least he says he's a Christian, and he went on with MSNBC and he wanted to point out in the wake of this dispute with CA and so on and Ben Shapiro and everything, they have focused on this phrase christ is king. He thinks that's

a very dangerous thing to say that, and he's a Christian. Here's what he said on MSNBC. Well, you know what we saw in on Easter Sunday was a remarkable display of venom and hatred. I mean really to the point Miko where you're right to wonder is he okay? And we know the answer is no, he's not okay. But what's even more disturbing than that venom and hatred on Easter Sunday itself was the build up of Holy Week.

It featured Trump sharing posts where he compared himself in calling a post where a supporter compared him to Jesus in the trials he faces in court in New York. To the trials, Jesus face is a beautiful post. He's selling Bibles. And then, you know, the sad thing is this isn't just confined to Trump anymore. He used to be able to say, or used to try to comfort ourselves by saying, well, Donald Trump is the bad guy, and then there's just so many good people who are fooled. And there

are still good people who are fooled by him. But it's become increasingly clear that trump Ism and that trump ethic is really leaking into American Christianity itself, as we saw when during Holy Week, Christians all over Twitter were posting christ as King, specifically aimed at Jewish Americans, specifically aimed to assert religious dominance in a very gross and ugly way. And we're seeing this just leak out, Mika, and it is very distressing. But even more than that,

it is very dangerous. Is that really what was happening. Where was this guy? Did he say anything about the transgender Day of Visibility or anything like that? Is Could that be why Christians were saying Christ is King, not you? I said that in a sense, I said, you know what, Biden decides that he's going to do what he decides, he's going to honor and worship has absolutely no effect on me. It may be an indication of coming persecution. But I don't worship what he worships. I will oppose

what he worships. And that was oppositional. People were reminding him that as we looked at Resurrection Sunday, that Christ was king. There's nothing wrong with that. That's a biblical truth. If you're a Christian, you should understand that. David French says he's a Christian, but he thinks that we should shut up about that. Well, he may need to think about who he is worshiping as king. Who is your king, David French? If it's not Christ, why do you call yourself a Christian? He ties Trump into

it. This is why I say we need to be strong in our rejection of Trump. Trump and the people around him, and Christian pastors who cheer him because they're going to get a big audience, just like these people in media. Those people are a reproach to Christ, just like some kind of grifting TV evangelist. They're like a prosperity gospel TV evangelist, and they need to be opposed. But we don't need to throw away the fact that Christ

is king. Look Trump and his Bible. The appropriate way to respond to that is just to say that he could create a whole line of books that he's never read, and they could be the Trump Library. You know, all the books that Donald Trump hasn't read. You could fill a library with them. Of course, you can do that with any of us, but

with Trump. And what's especially egregious about this Bible, as I said on day one, what he's done with the Bible and the Constitution, the Bill of Rights is to put together very important documents that he should be obeying, but that he hasn't even read. And that's really what the Trump Bible is about. But this is, you know, we're increasingly seeing people use this to attack Christians, to attack Christ, and we need to be active in

rejecting that. In the same way that if you've got the ku Klux Klan out there running around with a cross. We said, that's not us, not us, not what we believe. We're not with them, I'm not with Trump. And you can read into that whatever you compare him to the Ku Klux Klan as well, because he's not pushing that kind of racism, but he is using Christ for his own political purposes, no doubt about it.

So he goes back and instead of paying any attention to what happened with the Bush adment with a busheman with a Biden administration, he goes back to talk about Candice Owen and it is all about so proper. But the reality is is that we have to separate what is real from their virtual reality, and most of this stuff that is being thrown out there, it's just a bunch of lies and deception and we should always oppose that.
