[00:00.000 --> 00:02.760] On eBay, every find has a story.
[00:02.760 --> 00:05.360] Like if you're looking for a vintage band tee.
[00:05.360 --> 00:08.080] Not just a tee, the band tee.
[00:08.080 --> 00:12.560] You wore it everywhere until your BFF stole it.
[00:12.560 --> 00:14.120] Now you're on eBay.
[00:14.120 --> 00:17.980] And there it is, same tee from the same tour.
[00:17.980 --> 00:20.240] The things you love have a way of finding their way back
[00:20.240 --> 00:22.760] to you, especially on eBay.
[00:22.760 --> 00:24.840] Where else can you find that mint trading card
[00:24.840 --> 00:26.840] you searched everywhere for?
[00:26.960 --> 00:31.080] Or your first car, the one you wished you never sold?
[00:31.080 --> 00:32.640] It has to be eBay.
[00:32.640 --> 00:36.360] Shop eBay for millions of finds, each with a story.
[00:36.360 --> 00:39.480] eBay, things people love.
[00:39.480 --> 00:40.440] It's Bretzky.
[00:40.440 --> 00:42.120] I don't know how they let me on this podcast,
[00:42.120 --> 00:43.720] but while I'm here, I might as well tell you
[00:43.720 --> 00:46.320] the only place to play blackjack, roulette,
[00:46.320 --> 00:49.840] and live craps in Texas is spinquest.com, baby.
[00:49.840 --> 00:53.360] That's S-P-I-N-Q-U-E-S-T.com.
[00:53.360 --> 00:56.240] New users get a $30 coin package
[00:56.240 --> 00:57.420] for only $10.
[00:57.420 --> 00:59.080] I mean, that's a hell of a deal
[00:59.080 --> 01:03.080] for all you 10 gallon hatwares down there in Texas.
[01:04.240 --> 01:06.600] SpinQuest is a free to play social casino.
[01:06.600 --> 01:07.440] Voidware prohibited.
[01:07.440 --> 01:09.880] Visit spinquest.com for more details.
[01:09.880 --> 01:14.880] I mentioned yesterday briefly the Christmas Carol
[01:19.800 --> 01:20.640] by Charles Dickens.
[01:20.640 --> 01:23.640] It was kind of interesting, the history of this.
[01:24.520 --> 01:29.520] There was an interview on World Magazine, W-N-G.org.
[01:30.520 --> 01:33.400] They talked to Bruce Forbes.
[01:33.400 --> 01:35.520] He's a holiday historian,
[01:35.520 --> 01:39.560] and an author of Christmas, A Candid History.
[01:39.560 --> 01:42.040] He said, everybody thinks, well,
[01:42.040 --> 01:44.360] this is the way they celebrated Christmas
[01:44.360 --> 01:45.960] back in Victorian England.
[01:45.960 --> 01:49.000] He said, actually, it wasn't a portrait
[01:49.000 --> 01:51.180] of Victorian Christmas at the time.
[01:52.100 --> 01:57.100] And actually, Dickens actually made Christmas popular
[01:59.100 --> 02:02.220] when it was not popular at the time.
[02:02.220 --> 02:04.300] And he points out, going back to the 1600s,
[02:04.300 --> 02:08.860] English Puritans tried to stamp out Christmas celebrations
[02:08.860 --> 02:11.380] based on two main objections.
[02:11.380 --> 02:14.540] Number one, they said, well, it's not in early Christianity,
[02:14.540 --> 02:15.760] so we're not called to do it.
[02:15.760 --> 02:20.160] Number two, is there too much wild partying going on?
[02:20.160 --> 02:24.600] And again, the way I look at it is,
[02:24.600 --> 02:27.760] some people look at one day as holier than another.
[02:27.760 --> 02:29.960] Other people see every day as alike.
[02:29.960 --> 02:33.840] Let everybody follow their conscience.
[02:33.840 --> 02:36.160] And it depends on how you celebrate it.
[02:36.160 --> 02:37.520] Is it gonna be wild partying?
[02:37.520 --> 02:39.680] Is it going to be rampant materialism?
[02:39.680 --> 02:42.340] Or is it gonna be an opportunity to reflect
[02:42.340 --> 02:46.320] on the incarnation of Christ and his purpose?
[02:46.320 --> 02:48.040] And so, Parliament even went so far
[02:48.040 --> 02:51.580] as to ban Christmas in 1647.
[02:51.580 --> 02:53.800] The historian Forbes said, at some points,
[02:53.800 --> 02:57.760] they would send town criers around on Christmas Eve,
[02:57.760 --> 03:00.640] crying, no Christmas, no Christmas.
[03:01.960 --> 03:03.520] What would Megyn Kelly say?
[03:05.680 --> 03:07.320] And Bill O'Reilly, these are the people
[03:07.320 --> 03:08.480] he used to always talk about,
[03:08.480 --> 03:10.360] that were on Christmas every year.
[03:10.360 --> 03:12.260] Forbes said, for a century or more,
[03:12.260 --> 03:15.280] Christmas remained diminished.
[03:15.280 --> 03:17.080] A survey of stories, as a matter of fact,
[03:17.080 --> 03:21.280] from the London Times, between 1790 and 1836,
[03:21.280 --> 03:24.560] shows just how much Christmas had fallen out of favor.
[03:24.560 --> 03:25.680] In 20 of those years,
[03:25.680 --> 03:27.280] nothing at all is said about Christmas.
[03:27.280 --> 03:31.480] And in the other 25, it's mentioned only briefly,
[03:31.480 --> 03:32.760] in the kind of sense of, well,
[03:32.760 --> 03:36.680] that's something that people used to do a long time ago.
[03:36.680 --> 03:39.620] Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in just six weeks,
[03:39.620 --> 03:42.000] and he published it a few days before Christmas,
[03:42.000 --> 03:44.040] on December the 19th, 1843.
[03:44.040 --> 03:45.340] He was up against a deadline,
[03:45.820 --> 03:47.900] just barely making it like we did with this book
[03:47.900 --> 03:49.260] and the bookmark, you know?
[03:50.740 --> 03:53.260] Anyway, the public reaction was instant.
[03:53.260 --> 03:56.020] They loved it, it sold out, they printed it over and over,
[03:56.020 --> 03:58.260] reprints over and over again in the following years,
[03:58.260 --> 04:00.420] and it got very big in America as well.
[04:01.260 --> 04:03.940] In 1868, Dickens sailed to the US
[04:03.940 --> 04:06.300] to perform dramatic readings of his books,
[04:06.300 --> 04:08.900] including A Christmas Carol.
[04:08.900 --> 04:10.700] I used to watch Bonanza when I was a kid,
[04:10.700 --> 04:12.260] and I remember they had an episode
[04:12.300 --> 04:14.300] of Charles Dickens in America,
[04:14.300 --> 04:16.860] and he went to the ranch, you know?
[04:16.860 --> 04:18.780] He got to meet the cartwrights, I guess,
[04:18.780 --> 04:20.620] because they got a lot of money.
[04:20.620 --> 04:24.260] Anyway, Forbes said he was like a rock star.
[04:24.260 --> 04:27.940] He had 150 people waiting overnight to get tickets in Boston,
[04:27.940 --> 04:29.500] and the tickets all sold out.
[04:30.700 --> 04:32.740] So he said, A Christmas Carol expressed
[04:32.740 --> 04:35.740] Dickens' deep concern for the poor.
[04:35.740 --> 04:39.020] And see, this is why, you know, when my friend
[04:39.020 --> 04:40.920] who was from the Libertarian Party,
[04:40.920 --> 04:43.560] he got so upset about Dickens,
[04:43.560 --> 04:47.520] because he saw this as the wedge
[04:47.520 --> 04:50.760] that was used to enact socialism, right?
[04:50.760 --> 04:52.320] When in reality, you know, we need,
[04:52.320 --> 04:55.000] we understand that they use children,
[04:55.000 --> 04:56.360] as I said before, they're always,
[04:56.360 --> 04:59.480] children are always, and the welfare of children
[04:59.480 --> 05:01.960] is always the poster child for whatever it is
[05:01.960 --> 05:03.800] that they want to do, whether it's setting up
[05:03.800 --> 05:06.960] a digital ID on the internet or whatever it is.
[05:06.960 --> 05:08.960] And yet we do need to be concerned
[05:08.960 --> 05:10.640] about the welfare of children.
[05:11.280 --> 05:13.200] It's just that we don't need to do it through government.
[05:13.200 --> 05:15.600] And we do need to be concerned about the poor,
[05:15.600 --> 05:18.240] and yet we shouldn't do it through government.
[05:18.240 --> 05:20.320] And even though he wasn't advocating
[05:20.320 --> 05:22.840] helping the people out through government,
[05:23.880 --> 05:26.480] he even points out, you know, that one point he said,
[05:26.480 --> 05:29.920] well, don't we have poor houses and institutions like that?
[05:29.920 --> 05:31.880] And you look at how they had,
[05:31.880 --> 05:35.760] the government had failed to help the poor in that.
[05:35.760 --> 05:38.640] It really was an individual concern.
[05:38.640 --> 05:43.640] And I think that was a key thrust of the Christmas Carol.
[05:43.840 --> 05:46.760] So the story of Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation
[05:46.760 --> 05:48.320] grabbed a hold of the public mind
[05:48.320 --> 05:51.680] and added a new layer of meaning to the holiday,
[05:51.680 --> 05:52.920] one which laid the groundwork
[05:52.920 --> 05:55.920] for widespread Christmas celebrations,
[05:55.920 --> 05:59.080] even among those who don't believe Christ came
[05:59.080 --> 06:00.960] as a baby in a manger.
[06:00.960 --> 06:02.200] And that's the other thing about it.
[06:02.200 --> 06:06.240] You know, we need to understand the,
[06:06.240 --> 06:08.440] when you look at Dickens' Christmas Carol,
[06:09.240 --> 06:11.160] that was one thing that always kind of bothered me.
[06:11.160 --> 06:12.480] You know, it's kind of like the beginning
[06:12.480 --> 06:13.600] of it's a wonderful life
[06:13.600 --> 06:16.120] and the phony angel narrative that's there.
[06:17.200 --> 06:20.800] And, you know, how we're going to, you know,
[06:20.800 --> 06:25.800] manipulate this guy's life in order to do various things.
[06:27.800 --> 06:30.400] Still, helping the poor is not something
[06:30.400 --> 06:31.560] that we should despise.
[06:31.560 --> 06:35.000] Nevertheless, it's not, as Dickens puts it out there,
[06:35.000 --> 06:37.880] it's not that good works are going to win us
[06:37.880 --> 06:38.720] the favor of God.
[06:38.720 --> 06:40.760] There are rewards for good works
[06:40.760 --> 06:42.520] in both this life and the next life,
[06:42.520 --> 06:46.120] but you gotta make sure that you make the next life
[06:46.120 --> 06:49.440] and the good works are not going to give you eternal life.
[06:49.440 --> 06:50.600] That's what Christ came for
[06:50.600 --> 06:54.840] and that's the message, I think, should be of Christmas.
[06:54.840 --> 06:56.920] As Forbes said, generosity becomes the theme
[06:56.920 --> 07:00.440] that people can embrace, whether they're Christian or not,
[07:00.440 --> 07:02.680] or whether they're religious or not.
[07:02.680 --> 07:04.440] Generosity is a beautiful thing
[07:04.440 --> 07:05.280] and it's, I think,
[07:05.280 --> 07:08.520] Dickens' Christmas Carol's greatest contribution.
[07:08.520 --> 07:11.680] It shifts what Christmas becomes
[07:11.680 --> 07:16.680] and he made it kind of a secular orientation.
[07:18.880 --> 07:22.840] You know, Jesus said, I am the way
[07:23.800 --> 07:27.240] and no one comes to the Father but my me, right?
[07:27.240 --> 07:29.080] It's a very narrow way.
[07:29.080 --> 07:30.880] It's only one person wide.
[07:30.880 --> 07:33.000] You come through or by Christ
[07:33.000 --> 07:35.840] or you don't come at all to eternal life.
[07:35.840 --> 07:39.640] And that is the message of Christmas, really.
[07:39.640 --> 07:42.480] You know, some will say that, you know,
[07:42.480 --> 07:45.200] we've seen Bloomberg say many times,
[07:45.200 --> 07:47.440] they say, well, if there is a heaven,
[07:47.440 --> 07:48.280] I'm going straight in
[07:48.280 --> 07:49.600] because of all the good things that I've done.
[07:49.600 --> 07:54.120] So everybody can come up with their own set of things
[07:54.120 --> 07:56.760] that they think earned them salvation.
[07:57.960 --> 07:59.920] God will not be impressed.
[07:59.920 --> 08:01.440] You know, when we disobey him,
[08:01.440 --> 08:04.040] we have rebelled against him.
[08:04.040 --> 08:07.400] And that's why we don't realize how serious that is
[08:07.400 --> 08:10.720] and we don't realize why we need Christ.
[08:10.720 --> 08:13.560] But, you know, helping the poor,
[08:13.560 --> 08:15.160] having healthcare for Tiny Tim,
[08:15.160 --> 08:17.000] those are all great things.
[08:17.000 --> 08:19.800] But, you know, the socialists have made those things
[08:19.800 --> 08:21.240] that the government does.
[08:22.120 --> 08:25.400] And so today, you know, if they were to come around,
[08:25.400 --> 08:26.480] Ebenezer Scrooge would say,
[08:26.480 --> 08:29.240] well, don't we have welfare programs for those things?
[08:29.240 --> 08:30.360] I don't need to help anybody.
[08:30.360 --> 08:33.200] And he would miss the personal reward
[08:33.200 --> 08:35.640] of helping someone like that.
[08:35.640 --> 08:38.040] You know, and these are all good things.
[08:38.040 --> 08:41.280] But still, the only way to have that life
[08:41.280 --> 08:43.320] is through the Lord Jesus Christ.
[08:43.320 --> 08:45.280] You know, Dickens' story, I also thought about
[08:45.280 --> 08:47.800] the fact that he has these three ghosts in it, right,
[08:47.800 --> 08:51.080] that come back and they're the ones that, you know,
[08:52.200 --> 08:55.560] reason with Scrooge and convince him.
[08:55.560 --> 08:56.680] And I always thought, you know,
[08:56.680 --> 09:01.680] that's really very much like a twisted version
[09:01.680 --> 09:04.160] of the story that Jesus gave about Lazarus
[09:04.160 --> 09:06.840] and the rich man in Luke 16.
[09:06.840 --> 09:09.760] And I don't think that's a parable.
[09:09.760 --> 09:10.800] I think that's a real story.
[09:10.800 --> 09:14.040] He uses real names, even references Abraham.
[09:15.160 --> 09:17.360] He doesn't mention the name of the rich man
[09:18.400 --> 09:20.120] because of the context of the story,
[09:20.120 --> 09:23.080] you realize why he doesn't mention that.
[09:23.080 --> 09:25.640] But, you know, we could just call him Scrooge,
[09:25.640 --> 09:29.520] for example, right, or say Marley.
[09:29.520 --> 09:31.640] It'd be Marley, not Scrooge.
[09:31.640 --> 09:34.600] Because the rich man, as he's in torment,
[09:34.600 --> 09:37.600] he begs Abraham, he said,
[09:37.600 --> 09:40.800] let me go back and warn my family about this.
[09:40.800 --> 09:42.120] You know, I don't want my brothers
[09:42.120 --> 09:44.760] to make the same mistakes that I have made.
[09:44.760 --> 09:47.520] And kind of like Marley, right?
[09:47.520 --> 09:50.000] Except what does Abraham say to him?
[09:50.000 --> 09:52.160] He said, well, they have the law and the prophets
[09:52.160 --> 09:53.960] and if they won't listen to them,
[09:53.960 --> 09:57.080] they won't listen to somebody that comes back from the dead.
[09:57.080 --> 10:00.120] I think about that every time I watch the show.
[10:02.160 --> 10:03.680] So what would he tell them, right?
[10:03.680 --> 10:04.800] What would he tell them about that?
[10:04.800 --> 10:07.880] And what would they learn from the law and the prophets?
[10:07.880 --> 10:11.160] Well, when Jesus was confronted with the religious leaders,
[10:11.160 --> 10:13.080] he said, you search the scriptures,
[10:13.080 --> 10:15.120] that is the law and the prophets,
[10:15.120 --> 10:17.600] because you think in them you will find eternal life,
[10:17.600 --> 10:19.840] but they testify of me.
[10:20.840 --> 10:25.400] And they do, and that is the message of Christmas as well.
[10:25.400 --> 10:28.200] You know, the prophecies and the whole narrative
[10:28.200 --> 10:31.040] of the Old Testament all points to Christ.
[10:31.040 --> 10:33.680] It's not about the end of the world.
[10:33.680 --> 10:35.600] It's not about Zionism.
[10:35.600 --> 10:37.000] It's not about any of that stuff
[10:37.000 --> 10:38.080] and what happens to Israel,
[10:38.080 --> 10:39.320] what happens at the end of the world.
[10:39.320 --> 10:43.520] No, even, that's such a misreading of revelation.
[10:44.480 --> 10:47.200] People will often call it revelations.
[10:48.200 --> 10:49.920] And I think it's because they think of it
[10:49.920 --> 10:51.760] as revelations about the end of the world,
[10:51.760 --> 10:56.760] but the actual title is the revelation of Jesus Christ.
[10:57.480 --> 11:00.680] That's what the Bible is from start to finish.
[11:00.680 --> 11:03.880] And so it testifies of him.
[11:03.880 --> 11:08.880] And again, the law and the prophets testify.
[11:08.920 --> 11:11.280] So, you know, Marley's not gonna go back
[11:11.280 --> 11:13.000] and tell Scrooge this.
[11:13.000 --> 11:14.800] Scrooge has got the law and the prophets,
[11:14.800 --> 11:17.520] and if he doesn't want to see
[11:17.520 --> 11:19.600] what they have to say about Christ,
[11:20.680 --> 11:23.220] then, you know, that's the real message
[11:23.220 --> 11:24.700] of Christmas Charlie Brown.
[11:30.040 --> 11:30.880] So that's,
[11:34.480 --> 11:36.280] that's the reason that we celebrate it.
[11:36.280 --> 11:37.480] Yeah. Yeah.
[11:37.480 --> 11:41.920] It's always any chance you have to remember
[11:41.920 --> 11:43.840] what Christ has done for you.
[11:44.040 --> 11:45.240] That's right.
[11:45.240 --> 11:46.720] And to tell people, you know, I mean,
[11:46.720 --> 11:49.560] what is the end of the Christmas story?
[11:49.560 --> 11:51.360] And nobody ever kept Christmas
[11:51.360 --> 11:53.560] like Ebenezer Scrooge kept Christmas.
[11:53.560 --> 11:54.680] So it's like, is that it?
[11:54.680 --> 11:56.200] Is that the moral of the story?
[11:56.200 --> 11:59.920] Kind of as an anticlimactic ending here, right?
[11:59.920 --> 12:02.680] He still dies at some point in time,
[12:02.680 --> 12:03.760] but they remembered him fondly
[12:03.760 --> 12:05.600] because he was very generous with everybody.
[12:05.600 --> 12:06.440] Well.
[12:06.440 --> 12:09.160] No one put up more wreaths than Ebenezer.
[12:09.160 --> 12:12.600] I hope that you enjoy the reward of that,
[12:12.600 --> 12:14.200] and that is a rewarding thing,
[12:14.200 --> 12:17.040] but that is not the ultimate thing.
[12:17.040 --> 12:18.400] We'll be right back.
[12:18.400 --> 12:21.240] That's right, boys and girls.
[12:21.240 --> 12:25.360] There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
[12:25.360 --> 12:29.960] Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
[12:29.960 --> 12:33.040] And it's time to buy some metals with fiat dollars
[12:33.040 --> 12:36.200] before they come to their sense is.
[12:37.080 --> 12:40.120] Go to DavidNight.Gold to get in touch
[12:40.120 --> 12:44.080] with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
[12:44.080 --> 12:46.920] He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
[12:53.160 --> 12:54.440] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[12:54.440 --> 12:57.120] and I want to be honest with you for a second
[12:57.120 --> 13:00.040] about how an act of compassion really feels.
[13:00.040 --> 13:01.160] A couple of years ago,
[13:01.160 --> 13:03.360] I made the choice to partner
[13:03.360 --> 13:05.200] with an amazing organization
[13:05.200 --> 13:07.040] called Compassion International.
[13:07.040 --> 13:07.880] Why?
[13:07.920 --> 13:11.080] Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[13:11.080 --> 13:13.000] It was a nice idea, sure,
[13:13.000 --> 13:16.760] but I had no idea just how much that simple act
[13:16.760 --> 13:18.840] would change my life as well.
[13:18.840 --> 13:22.480] I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change
[13:22.480 --> 13:24.040] right in front of my eyes,
[13:24.040 --> 13:27.600] going from starving literally alone on the streets
[13:27.600 --> 13:30.520] to getting the healthcare and education she needs
[13:30.520 --> 13:33.720] to reach her God-given full potential.
[13:33.720 --> 13:35.880] I got to be a part of that change,
[13:35.920 --> 13:37.840] and the light of that compassion
[13:37.840 --> 13:39.840] not only illuminates in her,
[13:39.840 --> 13:41.920] it illuminates now in me.
[13:41.920 --> 13:44.520] That is the power of compassion.
[13:44.520 --> 13:48.120] The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[13:48.120 --> 13:52.240] Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[13:52.240 --> 13:55.320] Change the world and you also change yourself.
[13:55.320 --> 13:57.240] You can sponsor a child today.

[14:39.920 --> 14:42.920] ["Think!" theme music plays.]
[14:46.920 --> 14:51.000] Welcome back and joining us now is Zoe Smith.
[14:51.000 --> 14:56.000] She has set up a website, thrillkillmedicalcult.com.
[14:56.040 --> 14:58.920] You can also find her on Substack.
[14:58.920 --> 15:01.080] The name of the Substack is Zoe.
[15:01.080 --> 15:04.800] That's Z-O-W-E dot Substack dot com.
[15:04.800 --> 15:08.320] And we want to talk to her about being a whistleblower
[15:08.320 --> 15:11.480] and the things that she saw during the pandemic lockdown.
[15:12.720 --> 15:15.840] Zoe worked as a medical coder for over a decade.
[15:15.840 --> 15:16.800] Tell us a little bit about that.
[15:16.800 --> 15:17.880] What was that involved with?
[15:17.880 --> 15:20.240] Is that for insurance purposes,
[15:20.240 --> 15:23.880] identifying the procedures and putting the right code on it?
[15:23.880 --> 15:24.720] Yeah.
[15:24.720 --> 15:25.840] Hi, thanks for inviting me.
[15:25.840 --> 15:27.320] Thanks for being here.
[15:27.320 --> 15:28.560] Yeah, so a medical coder.
[15:28.560 --> 15:30.640] A lot of people don't even know that it exists
[15:30.640 --> 15:32.920] because you don't really see it as a patient,
[15:32.920 --> 15:36.800] but everything that happens to you in a hospital, clinic,
[15:36.800 --> 15:38.600] x-ray, lab, whatever,
[15:38.600 --> 15:40.840] has to have a diagnosis and procedure assigned
[15:40.840 --> 15:42.960] and that's how your doctor gets paid.
[15:42.960 --> 15:46.600] So the coder is the one who reviews that documentation,
[15:46.600 --> 15:48.240] assigns the right diagnosis code,
[15:48.240 --> 15:49.800] assigns the right procedure code,
[15:49.800 --> 15:52.240] and that's what gets put on the bill
[15:52.240 --> 15:55.320] and that your insurance or Medicare uses to pay your doctor
[15:55.320 --> 15:58.240] or the lab or the hospital for their services.
[15:58.920 --> 16:01.080] So it was really boring until COVID happened.
[16:01.080 --> 16:03.520] Then you had a bird's eye view of what was going on.
[16:03.520 --> 16:04.800] I was just telling you off air,
[16:04.800 --> 16:08.680] I said the aha moment for me was the AHA,
[16:08.680 --> 16:10.960] the American Hospital Association,
[16:10.960 --> 16:13.400] and I believe it was August of 2020.
[16:13.400 --> 16:14.880] I've talked about this many times.
[16:14.880 --> 16:18.880] They got very upset because they said to CMS
[16:18.880 --> 16:19.800] who was paying them, they said,
[16:19.800 --> 16:22.280] you told us that we didn't have to have
[16:22.280 --> 16:24.800] a PCR documentation for this.
[16:24.800 --> 16:26.440] They said that you didn't have enough of them
[16:26.440 --> 16:27.680] and you said they didn't work
[16:27.680 --> 16:29.080] and you said we just pointed somebody
[16:29.080 --> 16:31.160] to a clinical diagnosis and you would give us
[16:31.160 --> 16:35.360] a 20% bonus on everything that we did to the people
[16:35.360 --> 16:39.200] as well as the upfront cash bonus of $13,000.
[16:39.200 --> 16:42.320] And now you wanna have this new requirement.
[16:42.320 --> 16:43.200] That's not fair.
[16:43.200 --> 16:46.280] So they were complaining because they weren't getting paid
[16:46.280 --> 16:48.200] and it kind of exposed the whole thing
[16:48.200 --> 16:49.720] except nobody would cover that.
[16:49.720 --> 16:52.880] It was amazing to me how there was dead silence
[16:52.880 --> 16:54.160] everywhere about that.
[16:54.160 --> 16:58.120] I mean, you incentivize people to that degree
[16:58.120 --> 16:59.760] and I would always say to people,
[16:59.760 --> 17:02.760] look, the money is the issue.
[17:02.760 --> 17:05.520] The declaration of the emergency by Trump
[17:05.520 --> 17:08.320] unleashed the money and then they put out these rules
[17:08.320 --> 17:12.680] through CMS and paid these people to kill
[17:12.680 --> 17:13.760] is really what was happening.
[17:13.760 --> 17:14.600] Absolutely.
[17:14.600 --> 17:16.560] And that's what you saw as well, right?
[17:16.560 --> 17:18.760] Yeah, they did.
[17:18.760 --> 17:21.160] I don't know if you're familiar with the vaxed bus,
[17:21.160 --> 17:23.760] but Children's Health Defense, they sent out a third one.
[17:24.360 --> 17:27.240] So they've done a part one, part two, and now part three.
[17:27.240 --> 17:30.800] The part three is called authorized to kill for that reason
[17:30.800 --> 17:33.040] because the CARES Act really did,
[17:33.040 --> 17:37.040] it incentivized a behavior change in hospitals
[17:37.040 --> 17:39.760] and with physicians and how they were able
[17:39.760 --> 17:41.080] to practice medicine.
[17:41.080 --> 17:42.920] It set everything on its head
[17:42.920 --> 17:44.560] and it incentivized everything.
[17:44.560 --> 17:47.600] What you're talking about, what the AHA said about
[17:47.600 --> 17:49.960] you didn't even need a PCR test result
[17:49.960 --> 17:53.520] to get that COVID diagnosis is absolutely correct.
[17:54.240 --> 17:55.360] And that was one of the things that I noticed
[17:55.360 --> 17:58.240] in the Pandora's box of things that changed
[17:58.240 --> 18:03.160] right when they declared two weeks to flatten the curve
[18:03.160 --> 18:08.160] in March of 2020, they changed all the coding rules as well.
[18:09.040 --> 18:12.900] So April 1st, 2020 is when the COVID-19 diagnosis
[18:12.900 --> 18:14.560] went into effect.
[18:14.560 --> 18:18.720] And we were actually told to commit fraud before that time
[18:18.720 --> 18:21.560] because we didn't have a code to reflect COVID-19
[18:21.600 --> 18:23.840] and we needed to track that so much.
[18:23.840 --> 18:26.160] And of course everyone had to get the PCR test
[18:26.160 --> 18:28.700] in order to get the diagnosis.
[18:28.700 --> 18:31.340] But then there was this official coding guideline
[18:31.340 --> 18:33.220] which is what we use as coders.
[18:33.220 --> 18:36.920] It's like our Bible, it tells us what's correct,
[18:36.920 --> 18:40.760] what's fraud and it's essentially it lays out the rules.
[18:40.760 --> 18:44.040] And in those rules, there's a part that says
[18:44.040 --> 18:46.200] in order to be diagnosed with COVID-19,
[18:46.200 --> 18:49.840] all your physician needs to do is write down
[18:49.880 --> 18:51.240] in their medical opinion
[18:51.240 --> 18:53.800] that they think that you have COVID-19.
[18:53.800 --> 18:55.480] They didn't need to do an exam.
[18:55.480 --> 18:57.600] They didn't need to have a PCR test result.
[18:57.600 --> 19:00.240] And it says right in that official guideline,
[19:00.240 --> 19:02.680] this is an exception to section two H
[19:02.680 --> 19:04.160] inpatient coding guidelines,
[19:04.160 --> 19:06.680] which says for every other diagnosis,
[19:06.680 --> 19:08.320] they have to do an exam
[19:08.320 --> 19:11.960] and they have to have some sort of clinical documentation,
[19:11.960 --> 19:15.460] usually some sort of lab work or diagnostics
[19:15.460 --> 19:18.800] to prove their working diagnosis.
[19:18.800 --> 19:21.400] So COVID was an exception for that.
[19:21.400 --> 19:24.160] And that was one of the really big red flags
[19:24.160 --> 19:26.120] that came up for me.
[19:26.120 --> 19:28.880] And of course I noticed in my position,
[19:28.880 --> 19:32.160] not only is everyone getting this PCR test when we come in,
[19:32.160 --> 19:33.700] they're not all sick,
[19:33.700 --> 19:36.840] but then they get this COVID-19 diagnosis.
[19:36.840 --> 19:38.960] And the part that most people
[19:38.960 --> 19:41.120] that still a lot of people aren't familiar with
[19:41.120 --> 19:43.720] is when they did the two weeks to flatten the curve
[19:43.720 --> 19:45.400] and they locked down everybody,
[19:45.400 --> 19:49.000] they actually kicked people out of the ICU early
[19:49.000 --> 19:52.540] and they shut down other wings of the hospital.
[19:52.540 --> 19:54.760] They went down to a skeleton crew.
[19:55.820 --> 19:58.200] So they consolidated wings within the hospital.
[19:58.200 --> 20:01.680] So the ER and the ICU stayed open,
[20:01.680 --> 20:04.120] but the rest of the hospital was shut down.
[20:04.120 --> 20:07.340] We were getting furloughed and laid off
[20:07.340 --> 20:11.160] and hiring freezes and no raises, no bonuses
[20:11.160 --> 20:13.280] during the time when the media was saying,
[20:13.320 --> 20:15.160] these healthcare heroes are showing up
[20:15.160 --> 20:18.320] to fight the onslaught of COVID-19 patients.
[20:18.320 --> 20:21.040] What was the onslaught of false positive tests,
[20:21.040 --> 20:23.840] but it wasn't an onslaught of a whole bunch of patients.
[20:23.840 --> 20:25.080] We were getting furloughed.
[20:25.080 --> 20:27.600] So the hospital really, really needed that money
[20:27.600 --> 20:29.800] because they were bankrupted
[20:29.800 --> 20:32.680] right before those incentives came out.
[20:32.680 --> 20:35.440] So they really needed those incentives.
[20:35.440 --> 20:39.440] So they were absolutely excited to label someone as COVID-19
[20:39.440 --> 20:41.400] and get that 20% diagnosis
[20:41.400 --> 20:42.840] and then hook them up to the ventilator,
[20:43.400 --> 20:44.760] which they got another bonus for.
[20:44.760 --> 20:47.120] And then the Randesa beer,
[20:47.120 --> 20:49.040] which they were giving out like candy
[20:49.040 --> 20:51.840] during this entire time.
[20:51.840 --> 20:54.920] The bonus really didn't go into effect until August of 2020,
[20:54.920 --> 20:58.200] but they were using it from about April all the way through.
[20:58.200 --> 21:01.120] And I noticed how the protocols were killing people.
[21:01.120 --> 21:02.920] And doctors would just say,
[21:02.920 --> 21:05.340] oh, this is a progression of COVID-19.
[21:05.340 --> 21:07.540] And to this day, a lot of people will say,
[21:08.640 --> 21:11.120] oh, I had a family member that died of COVID.
[21:11.120 --> 21:13.520] They went to the hospital because they had COVID
[21:13.520 --> 21:15.000] and they died of COVID.
[21:15.000 --> 21:17.360] But I asked them, did they really die of COVID
[21:17.360 --> 21:18.760] or did they die of the protocol?
[21:18.760 --> 21:20.680] Were they not that sick until they got there?
[21:20.680 --> 21:22.880] And then they circled the drain
[21:22.880 --> 21:24.880] because in my experience,
[21:24.880 --> 21:29.080] most of the patients within sometimes a few days to,
[21:29.080 --> 21:31.320] sometimes it took up to a month,
[21:31.320 --> 21:33.680] but those protocols were killing people,
[21:33.680 --> 21:37.680] shutting down their organs and then they would die.
[21:37.680 --> 21:41.480] And that wasn't normal to have that happen
[21:41.480 --> 21:42.640] to a pneumonia patient.
[21:42.640 --> 21:44.400] Normally they'd be there three days.
[21:44.400 --> 21:47.120] We pump them full of antibiotics,
[21:47.120 --> 21:49.600] which we weren't using for COVID-19.
[21:49.600 --> 21:51.240] And then they would go home.
[21:51.240 --> 21:53.280] So this was totally backwards.
[21:53.280 --> 21:55.640] And then I started to notice all the incentives
[21:55.640 --> 21:57.440] because even as a coder,
[21:57.440 --> 21:59.920] they have all these checks and balances
[21:59.920 --> 22:02.120] in the electronic medical record system.
[22:02.120 --> 22:04.480] And it counts against you if you miss something.
[22:04.480 --> 22:07.240] So like if I missed someone for COVID-19,
[22:07.240 --> 22:08.520] I would get a notice about it.
[22:08.520 --> 22:10.920] Like, oh, this is gonna count against your score
[22:10.920 --> 22:12.400] and might not get a raise this year
[22:12.400 --> 22:14.400] because you weren't a good coder.
[22:14.400 --> 22:16.480] And they were watching that for remdesivir
[22:16.480 --> 22:18.960] because the bonuses were so much.
[22:18.960 --> 22:23.960] On the bill, every single remdesivir infusion
[22:24.400 --> 22:26.440] was $4,000.
[22:26.440 --> 22:28.280] Give or take a little bit throughout the country
[22:28.280 --> 22:30.120] because it's weighted based on like where you live.
[22:30.120 --> 22:32.680] So it'd be more expensive in New York or California,
[22:33.640 --> 22:37.760] but around $4,000 per dose
[22:37.760 --> 22:39.120] is how much they were getting.
[22:39.120 --> 22:39.960] Yeah, the ventilators.
[22:39.960 --> 22:42.920] I interviewed a woman who was a nurse.
[22:42.920 --> 22:44.480] She wrote a book called Pandemic Nurse
[22:44.480 --> 22:45.400] and she was in Florida.
[22:45.400 --> 22:48.720] And she said, I wasn't seeing the kind of narrative
[22:48.720 --> 22:50.000] that they were talking about with the pandemic.
[22:50.000 --> 22:51.960] And everybody was saying it was all happening up in New York.
[22:51.960 --> 22:54.040] So she left and went to New York to help
[22:54.040 --> 22:55.600] and sat around for a couple of days
[22:55.600 --> 22:56.720] after she told them she was there
[22:56.720 --> 22:57.880] before they brought her in.
[22:57.880 --> 22:59.040] When they finally did bring her in,
[22:59.040 --> 23:00.760] she's like, what's going on?
[23:00.760 --> 23:01.880] They're not busy either.
[23:01.880 --> 23:03.080] When they brought her in,
[23:03.080 --> 23:05.280] physician walked around, showed the people on the ventilators
[23:05.280 --> 23:06.120] and he said, you know,
[23:06.120 --> 23:08.000] about 90% of these people are gonna die.
[23:08.000 --> 23:10.120] And she said, it was horrible.
[23:10.120 --> 23:10.960] They were just killing people.
[23:10.960 --> 23:12.600] And of course, when you look at it,
[23:12.600 --> 23:16.840] if you get a $13,000 bonus for pointing at somebody
[23:16.840 --> 23:18.200] and saying they got COVID,
[23:18.200 --> 23:20.800] they may not even be sick as you pointed out.
[23:20.800 --> 23:22.520] Then if you put them on a ventilator,
[23:22.520 --> 23:24.880] you get $39,000 already right there.
[23:24.880 --> 23:29.160] You got $52,000 for a machine that costs you $50,000.
[23:29.320 --> 23:32.480] And then they will pay you 20% on the charges
[23:32.480 --> 23:34.160] that you've got for them to use it
[23:34.160 --> 23:36.240] until you kill them with that ventilator.
[23:36.240 --> 23:39.080] And again, pulmonologists were looking at this
[23:39.080 --> 23:41.960] and come back and said, this never made any sense.
[23:41.960 --> 23:42.960] We never did it like this.
[23:42.960 --> 23:44.680] You're pointing out they give people antibiotics
[23:44.680 --> 23:45.720] and other things like that.
[23:45.720 --> 23:48.160] So we would never put people on a ventilator,
[23:48.160 --> 23:50.160] you know, for pneumonia or things like that.
[23:50.160 --> 23:51.000] Exactly.
[23:51.000 --> 23:55.880] All of it was so incredibly corrupt and counterintuitive
[23:55.880 --> 23:57.720] and they turned the hospitals
[23:57.720 --> 24:00.240] into killing machines for money.
[24:00.240 --> 24:01.240] And everybody was willing to do that.
[24:01.240 --> 24:03.320] I mean, if you got somebody that's there
[24:03.320 --> 24:08.320] and even if it wasn't an economic emergency
[24:08.600 --> 24:10.720] that had been created partially by the government,
[24:10.720 --> 24:12.260] you know, if you were to tell somebody,
[24:12.260 --> 24:13.440] you point to that person and say,
[24:13.440 --> 24:17.800] they've got this condition, I'll give you $13,000.
[24:17.800 --> 24:19.560] We know how human nature works
[24:19.560 --> 24:21.800] and we know how the corporate hospitals work.
[24:21.800 --> 24:24.280] I mean, the incentives to do that are gonna be huge.
[24:24.280 --> 24:27.680] Just like the disincentives to report somebody
[24:27.680 --> 24:30.200] when they've had a reaction to the vaccines
[24:30.200 --> 24:31.540] are gonna be huge as well.
[24:31.540 --> 24:32.400] Were you still there
[24:32.400 --> 24:34.240] when they started the vaccination program
[24:34.240 --> 24:35.080] or had you left?
[24:35.080 --> 24:36.640] Because you say that you left
[24:36.640 --> 24:40.000] when they made the vaccine mandatory.
[24:40.000 --> 24:42.040] Did you see it happening before that?
[24:42.960 --> 24:45.680] I started to wake up during,
[24:45.680 --> 24:47.440] really when they started declaring two weeks
[24:47.440 --> 24:48.280] to flatten the curve
[24:48.280 --> 24:50.680] and I started seeing people wearing masks in public.
[24:50.680 --> 24:54.200] I knew this was not a pandemic
[24:55.120 --> 24:57.960] and there was some kind of psychological operation going on
[24:57.960 --> 24:59.040] because I had worked in the hospital
[24:59.040 --> 25:00.720] for the swine flu scare.
[25:00.720 --> 25:02.000] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson
[25:02.000 --> 25:04.680] and I want to be honest with you for a second
[25:04.680 --> 25:07.600] about how an act of compassion really feels.
[25:07.600 --> 25:10.920] A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner
[25:10.920 --> 25:12.760] with an amazing organization
[25:12.760 --> 25:14.620] called Compassion International.
[25:14.620 --> 25:15.460] Why?
[25:15.460 --> 25:18.640] Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[25:18.640 --> 25:20.540] It was a nice idea, sure,
[25:20.540 --> 25:24.280] but I had no idea just how much that simple act
[25:24.280 --> 25:26.360] would change my life as well.
[25:26.360 --> 25:28.020] I sponsored Nadia
[25:28.020 --> 25:31.580] and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[25:31.580 --> 25:35.140] going from starving literally alone on the streets
[25:35.140 --> 25:38.040] to getting the healthcare and education she needs
[25:38.040 --> 25:41.220] to reach her God-given full potential.
[25:41.220 --> 25:43.420] I got to be a part of that change
[25:43.420 --> 25:45.360] and the light of that compassion
[25:45.360 --> 25:47.340] not only illuminates in her,
[25:47.340 --> 25:49.420] it illuminates now in me.
[25:49.420 --> 25:52.020] That is the power of compassion.
[25:52.020 --> 25:55.620] The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[25:55.620 --> 25:59.740] Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[25:59.740 --> 26:02.820] Change the world and you also change yourself.
[26:02.820 --> 26:04.740] You can sponsor a child today.
[26:04.740 --> 26:07.340] Visit Compassion.com.
[26:07.340 --> 26:10.680] That's Compassion.com.
[26:10.680 --> 26:11.660] It's Bretzky.
[26:11.660 --> 26:13.340] I don't know how they let me on this podcast,
[26:13.340 --> 26:14.940] but while I'm here, I might as well tell you
[26:14.940 --> 26:17.500] the only place to play blackjack, roulette,
[26:17.540 --> 26:21.060] and live craps in Texas is SpinQuest.com, baby.
[26:21.060 --> 26:24.580] That's S-P-I-N-Q-U-E-S-T.com.
[26:24.580 --> 26:28.660] New users get a $30 coin package for only $10.
[26:28.660 --> 26:30.340] I mean, that's a hell of a deal
[26:30.340 --> 26:34.300] for all you 10 gallon hatwares down there in Texas.
[26:35.460 --> 26:37.820] SpinQuest is a free to play social casino.
[26:37.820 --> 26:38.680] Voidware prohibited.
[26:38.680 --> 26:41.060] Visit SpinQuest.com for more details.
[26:41.060 --> 26:42.980] And it wasn't a thing in the hospital.
[26:42.980 --> 26:44.660] Like it was just regular flu.
[26:44.660 --> 26:46.900] I didn't even talk to people that were on the front lines,
[26:47.140 --> 26:49.620] like ER doctors and nurses.
[26:49.620 --> 26:52.060] And they said, some of them even said that they got it
[26:52.060 --> 26:53.740] and it wasn't that big of a deal.
[26:53.740 --> 26:56.900] So when they declared COVID, I was really suspicious.
[26:56.900 --> 26:59.340] This is just gonna be another vaccination campaign
[26:59.340 --> 27:02.220] because they already had mandates for the flu shot
[27:02.220 --> 27:05.540] for healthcare workers for like a decade before that.
[27:05.540 --> 27:08.380] And I had been doing the exemption every year.
[27:08.380 --> 27:10.580] And the reason I did that is because the first year
[27:10.580 --> 27:13.460] that they made healthcare workers get the flu shot,
[27:13.460 --> 27:15.300] everybody was getting the flu.
[27:15.300 --> 27:18.180] And so that was the year that we came up with the,
[27:18.180 --> 27:20.580] it was just a rumor within the university lab
[27:20.580 --> 27:22.340] where I worked, but everybody was saying it,
[27:22.340 --> 27:24.420] that you get the flu from the flu shot.
[27:24.420 --> 27:26.820] So ever since then, I just didn't wanna do it.
[27:26.820 --> 27:29.580] So during that whole year of operation work speed,
[27:29.580 --> 27:31.220] the only thing that's gonna get us back to normal
[27:31.220 --> 27:32.540] is this vaccine.
[27:32.540 --> 27:35.700] I thought if the flu shot never worked,
[27:35.700 --> 27:38.620] the chances that the COVID shot is gonna work
[27:38.620 --> 27:40.420] is slim to nil.
[27:40.420 --> 27:42.540] And the amount of pressure for this one
[27:42.540 --> 27:46.100] compared to the flu shot is astronomical.
[27:46.100 --> 27:47.900] So there's something to it.
[27:47.900 --> 27:50.780] So that made me actually not just look at the COVID shot,
[27:50.780 --> 27:53.060] but look at all the other vaccines.
[27:53.060 --> 27:56.220] And what I learned was they don't teach coders
[27:56.220 --> 28:00.140] or doctors or nurses anything about vaccine side effects
[28:00.140 --> 28:04.260] or adverse effects, despite the fact that they have codes
[28:04.260 --> 28:07.620] to assign for vaccine effects.
[28:07.620 --> 28:10.100] But I would see patients come in with like Guillain-Barre
[28:10.100 --> 28:12.980] before this, and the doctors would try very hard
[28:12.980 --> 28:15.380] not to relate it to a vaccine.
[28:15.380 --> 28:16.780] And there would be codes in there,
[28:16.780 --> 28:18.860] like adverse effect of flu shot
[28:18.860 --> 28:20.700] or adverse effect of whatever.
[28:20.700 --> 28:24.460] And those are supposed to be like a safety signal code.
[28:24.460 --> 28:27.340] Like one of the reasons why the ICD-10 system,
[28:27.340 --> 28:29.180] which is owned by the WHO, by the way.
[28:29.180 --> 28:32.740] So every member state that is part of the WHO
[28:32.740 --> 28:34.740] has to report these codes
[28:34.740 --> 28:37.100] and it's for statistical monitoring purposes.
[28:37.100 --> 28:39.740] So this is how they monitor pandemics.
[28:39.740 --> 28:42.500] This is how they monitor cancer,
[28:42.500 --> 28:45.180] like how many cases of cancer there are
[28:45.180 --> 28:50.180] throughout the world or heart problems or pneumonia cases.
[28:50.220 --> 28:52.220] This is the system that they use.
[28:52.220 --> 28:54.100] And it's also supposed to be used starting
[28:54.100 --> 28:57.500] in clinical trials for devices and drugs
[28:57.500 --> 28:59.820] to look for a safety signal.
[28:59.820 --> 29:02.460] So I thought with this COVID-19 vaccine,
[29:02.460 --> 29:06.900] there should be a code for adverse effect of this shot
[29:06.900 --> 29:08.860] and it should be my job to assign it.
[29:08.860 --> 29:10.260] So I did my due diligence
[29:10.260 --> 29:12.460] and I looked into all the warnings
[29:12.460 --> 29:15.100] and what could happen if people got the shot.
[29:15.100 --> 29:16.500] And then I looked at what could happen
[29:16.500 --> 29:18.100] if people got the other vaccines.
[29:18.100 --> 29:20.820] And I started to realize that they had been varying
[29:20.820 --> 29:24.540] all of the effects that people would get from vaccines
[29:24.540 --> 29:28.900] and not assigning these adverse effect codes up until 2020.
[29:28.900 --> 29:31.100] And then when the COVID-19 vaccine came out,
[29:31.100 --> 29:32.940] there was no code to report it.
[29:32.940 --> 29:34.420] So it should have been my job
[29:34.420 --> 29:36.300] to collect that danger signal.
[29:36.300 --> 29:38.340] And I even went on a podcast called
[29:38.340 --> 29:42.820] Deborah Gets Red Pill was just a radio show in early 2021
[29:42.820 --> 29:44.660] right after I quit my job.
[29:44.660 --> 29:48.820] And I said, the COVID-19 vaccine is more dangerous
[29:48.820 --> 29:52.140] than all of the other vaccines combined.
[29:52.140 --> 29:54.980] And that was with my, that was just an observation,
[29:54.980 --> 29:59.180] but it was 10 years of medical coding experience
[29:59.180 --> 30:02.740] and then learning what I learned about vaccine side effects
[30:02.740 --> 30:05.100] and all the cases that I saw of children in the ER
[30:05.100 --> 30:07.060] constantly having eczema or rashes
[30:07.060 --> 30:10.060] or even anaphylactic responses.
[30:10.060 --> 30:12.420] And then I look at the record, they just got a vaccine,
[30:12.420 --> 30:15.020] but the doctor's not connecting the two.
[30:15.020 --> 30:18.100] So when COVID-19 came out, people were having strokes
[30:18.100 --> 30:22.380] and acetylitis and blood clots like I've never seen before.
[30:22.380 --> 30:24.540] Myocarditis, they were getting COVID-19
[30:24.540 --> 30:26.180] immediately after getting the shot
[30:26.180 --> 30:28.260] like the same day or the next day
[30:28.260 --> 30:29.900] and then being hospitalized.
[30:29.900 --> 30:32.100] There were people with paralytic problems,
[30:32.100 --> 30:34.900] seizure disorders, blood disorders
[30:35.700 --> 30:36.900] where they couldn't even figure out what was going on
[30:36.900 --> 30:38.660] because the patient was clotting and bleeding
[30:38.660 --> 30:41.660] at the same time and they didn't even know how to treat it.
[30:43.380 --> 30:46.860] Crazy stuff started happening just in the first four months
[30:46.860 --> 30:48.060] of the vaccine rollout.
[30:48.060 --> 30:51.460] So it wasn't even available to the rest of the public yet.
[30:51.460 --> 30:55.140] But by summer of 2021 is when they started saying,
[30:55.140 --> 30:57.900] you at home, like this is the hospital leadership.
[30:57.900 --> 31:01.260] They would have videos that they would send to all staff
[31:01.260 --> 31:03.980] all the time monitoring COVID.
[31:03.980 --> 31:06.380] And they were really, really pushing us to get that shot.
[31:06.380 --> 31:08.380] They were saying, we're not doing as good
[31:08.380 --> 31:10.940] as the other hospitals who are getting incentivized
[31:10.940 --> 31:13.460] for meeting their vaccination quota.
[31:13.460 --> 31:14.580] And we weren't.
[31:14.580 --> 31:17.300] So they were pointing to us, people who worked from home,
[31:17.300 --> 31:20.580] who never saw patients, who never walked into a hospital.
[31:20.580 --> 31:22.940] You guys are spreading it around society
[31:22.940 --> 31:24.700] and we're gonna have to fire you
[31:24.700 --> 31:26.980] if you don't get your shots.
[31:26.980 --> 31:30.300] So at that point, I couldn't take it anymore.
[31:30.300 --> 31:33.340] I knew that my job had been to get them money
[31:33.340 --> 31:35.020] for murdering patients.
[31:35.020 --> 31:37.980] And I was having a crisis of conscience over that.
[31:37.980 --> 31:40.500] And then before the vaccine went out,
[31:40.500 --> 31:43.540] I decided I was gonna be a spy at that point
[31:43.540 --> 31:45.900] and just see if the vaccine really was as bad
[31:45.900 --> 31:48.100] as old warnings said.
[31:48.100 --> 31:52.260] And then it turned out to be far worse than I anticipated.
[31:52.260 --> 31:54.660] And I didn't think that the chances would be very good
[31:54.660 --> 31:57.820] that I would get an exemption
[31:57.820 --> 32:00.540] because it changed the rules for getting an exemption.
[32:01.460 --> 32:03.860] A lot of people got fired
[32:03.860 --> 32:06.180] and I didn't wanna work for them anymore.
[32:06.180 --> 32:07.740] I didn't wanna continue helping them
[32:07.740 --> 32:09.420] get money to murder people.
[32:09.420 --> 32:10.540] So. Good for you.
[32:10.540 --> 32:11.500] Good for you.
[32:11.500 --> 32:13.500] Yeah, you really did have. That's why I chose to walk out.
[32:13.500 --> 32:16.020] You really did have a bird's eye view of this whole thing
[32:16.020 --> 32:18.740] because you're seeing the diagnostic codes
[32:18.740 --> 32:21.580] as well as the treatments that are there.
[32:21.580 --> 32:24.860] And so you could get a good picture
[32:24.860 --> 32:26.900] of what was actually coming on
[32:26.900 --> 32:30.300] and seeing the trends that were there.
[32:30.340 --> 32:32.180] That's very interesting, your perspective.
[32:32.180 --> 32:34.180] Yeah, I've got something and I apologize
[32:34.180 --> 32:35.420] because we can't feed this to you.
[32:35.420 --> 32:36.260] So you can't hear this.
[32:36.260 --> 32:38.260] I'll kind of talk about it and describe it.
[32:38.260 --> 32:42.300] But I want the audience to hear what Lutnik,
[32:42.300 --> 32:45.860] I call him Lucky Lutnik, what he said
[32:45.860 --> 32:48.820] in terms about the money that can be made
[32:48.820 --> 32:49.660] off of this kind of stuff.
[32:49.660 --> 32:52.420] And he uses an example of the vaccines.
[32:53.300 --> 32:55.860] The United States government, the most powerful,
[32:55.860 --> 32:58.300] the greatest customer, buys stuff.
[32:58.300 --> 33:00.260] We walk in, we're going to buy,
[33:00.260 --> 33:01.740] here's the example I like to use.
[33:01.740 --> 33:06.180] We're going to buy two billion COVID vaccines.
[33:07.180 --> 33:10.860] When we buy it, Pfizer and Moderna stocks are going to triple.
[33:11.980 --> 33:13.100] They're going to triple.
[33:13.100 --> 33:16.140] So then we say, everyone's going to have this vaccine.
[33:17.500 --> 33:20.900] If I were, after Jared Kushner negotiated
[33:20.900 --> 33:22.100] the best deal he could,
[33:22.100 --> 33:23.700] if Howard Lutnik walked in the room,
[33:23.700 --> 33:27.020] Howard Lutnik would say, what do you think, 20% warrants?
[33:27.980 --> 33:30.140] 20% warrants, right?
[33:30.140 --> 33:30.980] What?
[33:30.980 --> 33:33.740] So we'd make $50 billion off of who?
[33:33.740 --> 33:34.860] Nobody.
[33:34.860 --> 33:36.460] We didn't take from anybody.
[33:36.460 --> 33:38.540] Okay, the shareholders of Pfizer,
[33:38.540 --> 33:41.620] who we've just tripled them with our order.
[33:41.620 --> 33:43.620] Now, how many of my customers?
[33:45.740 --> 33:49.180] Yeah, Zoe, what he's saying, Zoe, he says,
[33:49.180 --> 33:51.780] yeah, the U.S. government's the most powerful customer.
[33:51.780 --> 33:53.260] So we're going to go in and we're going to buy
[33:53.300 --> 33:55.740] two billion dollars worth of these vaccines
[33:55.740 --> 33:57.260] from Pfizer and Moderna.
[33:57.260 --> 33:58.700] We're going to force people to take them.
[33:58.700 --> 33:59.740] He goes, so I'm looking at this.
[33:59.740 --> 34:01.620] I'm saying, well, I'm going to get some 20% warrants.
[34:01.620 --> 34:02.540] I want some action of that.
[34:02.540 --> 34:04.260] I know what's going to happen with all this.
[34:04.260 --> 34:06.780] And he says, and who have we harmed with all this stuff?
[34:06.780 --> 34:09.540] It's like the people who got the shot, obviously.
[34:09.540 --> 34:11.380] But he doesn't even see that.
[34:11.380 --> 34:14.820] He sees nothing but dollar signs.
[34:14.820 --> 34:16.140] This is the guy, of course,
[34:16.140 --> 34:19.420] that is now the commerce secretary for Trump.
[34:19.420 --> 34:22.140] And he's the guy who's pushing through the stable coins
[34:22.140 --> 34:23.700] and all the rest of this stuff.
[34:23.700 --> 34:26.500] Makes you wonder what he is going to be doing to us
[34:26.500 --> 34:27.700] with the stable coins
[34:27.700 --> 34:30.900] and the resetting of the financial system.
[34:30.900 --> 34:34.300] These are people who see nothing other than money
[34:34.300 --> 34:37.860] and they don't care what they have to do to other people
[34:37.860 --> 34:38.900] in order to make money.
[34:38.900 --> 34:41.860] It truly is amazing, the greed and the system
[34:41.860 --> 34:42.700] and the corruption.
[34:42.700 --> 34:44.260] Right.
[34:44.260 --> 34:46.700] It is so hard for me to wrap my brain around
[34:46.700 --> 34:49.460] how many people they killed.
[34:49.500 --> 34:53.820] It was a silent genocide that is still invisible.
[34:53.820 --> 34:56.180] But there's no family that I can,
[34:56.180 --> 34:57.980] that I've talked to in the last five years
[34:57.980 --> 35:00.420] that hasn't been touched by it in some way.
[35:00.420 --> 35:03.460] Either someone they know is suffering from cancer
[35:03.460 --> 35:07.700] or some horrible chronic condition after getting the shot
[35:07.700 --> 35:08.900] or they've lost somebody.
[35:08.900 --> 35:12.020] Like I lost my cousin who was 17
[35:12.020 --> 35:13.780] who suddenly just drove into a tree
[35:13.780 --> 35:17.100] and they didn't do an autopsy or look into it.
[35:17.100 --> 35:21.220] And there's countless other people out there like that.
[35:21.220 --> 35:23.700] And I mean, this was our family
[35:23.700 --> 35:25.460] and people are still just kind of
[35:25.460 --> 35:28.380] burying their heads in the sand and wanting to go on
[35:28.380 --> 35:29.780] like it didn't happen.
[35:29.780 --> 35:30.620] The amazing thing is-
[35:30.620 --> 35:32.180] But our system is still set up
[35:32.180 --> 35:34.900] to where it could still happen again.
[35:34.900 --> 35:37.580] Like we haven't even held those people accountable.
[35:37.580 --> 35:40.980] As a matter of fact, we put them back in office again.
[35:40.980 --> 35:44.740] And so, you know, that's why to me, I look at it
[35:44.780 --> 35:47.140] and what astounds me the most
[35:47.140 --> 35:51.180] is just how effective the control of information has been.
[35:51.180 --> 35:53.220] That's why what you're doing is so important.
[35:53.220 --> 35:55.580] You've got to get out there and tell people what happened
[35:55.580 --> 35:59.300] because as you point out, almost everybody I know as well,
[35:59.300 --> 36:01.140] there's been somebody in their family,
[36:01.140 --> 36:03.860] immediate or extended family that's been harmed by this.
[36:03.860 --> 36:06.060] But everybody thinks that this is a one-off.
[36:06.060 --> 36:07.820] It didn't happen to everybody else.
[36:07.820 --> 36:10.620] They don't realize that it happened how broad this is
[36:10.620 --> 36:12.060] and how extensive it is.
[36:12.060 --> 36:13.580] And they think that they're alone.
[36:13.580 --> 36:15.740] Just like they wanted us to think that we were alone
[36:15.740 --> 36:17.380] if we saw what was happening
[36:17.380 --> 36:19.380] and we weren't going to participate in it.
[36:19.380 --> 36:21.580] Well, you're the only one who thinks like that.
[36:21.580 --> 36:23.020] And we're not.
[36:23.020 --> 36:24.260] You know, there's a lot of people out there
[36:24.260 --> 36:25.740] who saw what was happening
[36:25.740 --> 36:28.620] and were onto this scam from the very beginning.
[36:28.620 --> 36:33.060] And I had the help of a person who gave me a heads up
[36:33.060 --> 36:34.740] about a year before this happened.
[36:34.740 --> 36:38.500] He said, there's a lot of chatter about Dark Winter 2.
[36:38.500 --> 36:40.180] And he goes, you know what Dark Winter 1 was?
[36:40.180 --> 36:41.420] And I was like, yeah, I know about that.
[36:41.420 --> 36:43.340] And so when I saw all of this,
[36:44.060 --> 36:46.180] it was falling right in the pattern of all these germ games.
[36:46.180 --> 36:48.940] The very first one was two months before 9-11.
[36:48.940 --> 36:51.100] So I knew exactly what was happening with this.
[36:51.100 --> 36:53.180] And I also knew about the PCR test
[36:53.180 --> 36:54.300] and what Kerry Mullis had said.
[36:54.300 --> 36:57.100] Talk a little bit about what you saw with the PCR.
[36:58.180 --> 37:00.740] Right, so that was another part of the Pandora's box
[37:00.740 --> 37:04.580] that changed right at the beginning of March, 2020
[37:04.580 --> 37:06.540] when they declared two weeks to flatten the curve
[37:06.540 --> 37:09.100] and changed our whole lives upside down.
[37:09.100 --> 37:10.340] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson.
[37:10.340 --> 37:12.420] And I want you to pause what you're doing
[37:12.420 --> 37:13.500] for just one minute.
[37:13.500 --> 37:16.300] And I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[37:16.300 --> 37:19.780] She lives in a remote community with very few resources
[37:19.780 --> 37:22.300] and little to no healthcare.
[37:22.300 --> 37:24.300] So when Alejandra gets sick,
[37:24.300 --> 37:26.420] her parents have no real options,
[37:26.420 --> 37:28.660] no doctors in their community,
[37:28.660 --> 37:32.020] and no money for real medical care.
[37:32.020 --> 37:34.780] By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[37:34.780 --> 37:38.100] She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[37:38.100 --> 37:40.900] I can't take the pain anymore.
[37:40.940 --> 37:42.700] I can't keep going.
[37:42.700 --> 37:45.500] Her parents drove hours to find a doctor
[37:45.500 --> 37:49.180] who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital.
[37:49.180 --> 37:52.660] And that was impossible for her family to afford.
[37:52.660 --> 37:56.620] And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[37:56.620 --> 37:59.860] Now through compassion, Alejandra was treated
[37:59.860 --> 38:02.900] and against all odds, she survived.
[38:02.900 --> 38:06.900] She lived because someone just like you took action.
[38:06.900 --> 38:09.180] Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[38:09.220 --> 38:11.980] just like Alejandra who won't survive
[38:11.980 --> 38:14.540] unless someone like you steps in.
[38:14.540 --> 38:18.320] Compassion International partners with local churches,
[38:18.320 --> 38:21.340] providing children with the support that they need,
[38:21.340 --> 38:25.360] critical medical care, plus food, education,
[38:25.360 --> 38:29.440] and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name.
[38:29.440 --> 38:33.220] So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[39:08.860 --> 39:13.180] I noticed that before COVID,
[39:13.180 --> 39:15.900] I worked in a university lab when I was in college,
[39:15.900 --> 39:19.220] and we had what's called a rapid flu test.
[39:19.220 --> 39:22.320] And it was something that, it was a nose swab too,
[39:22.320 --> 39:23.780] or it could be a saliva swab,
[39:23.780 --> 39:25.460] but it wasn't something that went all the way up
[39:25.460 --> 39:28.760] to your brain like the COVID PCR swab did.
[39:29.900 --> 39:32.260] And even the instructions, like us in the lab
[39:32.260 --> 39:35.300] as lab assistants, one of the number one things we did
[39:35.300 --> 39:38.060] was coach people on how to collect specimens properly,
[39:38.060 --> 39:39.580] because it was our job to like screen them,
[39:39.580 --> 39:43.380] make sure they were gonna work for the test.
[39:43.380 --> 39:45.980] And if they weren't in a correct format
[39:45.980 --> 39:47.420] to accept for the test,
[39:47.420 --> 39:49.420] then we'd have to tell the nurse or doctor,
[39:49.420 --> 39:51.780] we need you to go recollect that specimen.
[39:51.780 --> 39:53.300] So these rapid flu tests,
[39:53.300 --> 39:54.820] they had to be done within 15 minutes,
[39:54.820 --> 39:56.660] and it was basically a PCR test.
[39:56.660 --> 40:01.420] It didn't have the same cycle threshold part,
[40:01.420 --> 40:05.100] so it was kind of a predecessor to the COVID-19 PCR test,
[40:05.980 --> 40:07.880] but it wasn't done on every patient
[40:08.700 --> 40:11.080] that had a cold or flu symptom or a pneumonia at all.
[40:11.080 --> 40:13.840] It was only done on patients that came in
[40:13.840 --> 40:17.520] like with a recurrent pneumonia that they couldn't cure
[40:17.520 --> 40:19.000] or a recurrent cold,
[40:19.000 --> 40:21.580] and it would be done to try and figure out
[40:21.580 --> 40:23.560] which types of medications
[40:23.560 --> 40:26.000] this particular disease would respond to.
[40:26.000 --> 40:28.320] So it was like a case by case basis.
[40:28.320 --> 40:30.960] It wasn't just everybody that walked into the hospital.
[40:30.960 --> 40:33.160] And so when COVID-19 came around and they said,
[40:33.160 --> 40:36.920] you need to stick this all the way up into people's brains,
[40:36.960 --> 40:41.960] no saliva, and it has to be on every single person.
[40:42.080 --> 40:44.560] Because I mean, it really flipped it at one point.
[40:44.560 --> 40:47.080] It went from, you can't get the PCR test
[40:47.080 --> 40:49.040] because they had a drive-through
[40:49.040 --> 40:52.020] where you could go out into society at first,
[40:52.020 --> 40:54.440] and you'd have to go to one of these PCR testing centers,
[40:54.440 --> 40:56.280] and they'd say, you have to have symptoms.
[40:56.280 --> 40:57.780] You can't get it unless you have symptoms.
[40:57.780 --> 40:58.880] And then people were mad
[40:58.880 --> 41:00.840] that they couldn't get the PCR test.
[41:00.840 --> 41:02.860] And then overnight, it flipped to,
[41:02.860 --> 41:05.360] now everybody has to get it for everything.
[41:05.360 --> 41:07.080] You have to get it if you walk in the ER,
[41:07.080 --> 41:08.920] even if you don't have COVID symptoms.
[41:08.920 --> 41:10.100] And I thought that was weird.
[41:10.100 --> 41:12.000] We never did that before.
[41:12.000 --> 41:15.200] That is not supposed to be a screening test.
[41:15.200 --> 41:17.240] It's supposed to be a diagnostic test
[41:17.240 --> 41:19.760] because the screen is down when you don't have symptoms.
[41:19.760 --> 41:23.840] It's trying to rule out if you're developing something.
[41:23.840 --> 41:26.840] And they were telling us asymptomatic spread.
[41:26.840 --> 41:28.220] Well, I could see in the hospital,
[41:28.220 --> 41:30.500] there's no such thing as asymptomatic spread.
[41:30.500 --> 41:34.180] This six feet thing is made up, masks don't work.
[41:34.180 --> 41:35.740] I knew that from the very beginning
[41:35.740 --> 41:38.860] because masks in the hospital had only been used
[41:38.860 --> 41:42.420] for like collecting spittle over like a surgery case.
[41:42.420 --> 41:44.740] It wasn't meant to like prevent germ spread.
[41:44.740 --> 41:48.580] That was never part of our infection control.
[41:48.580 --> 41:52.220] So I knew there was something up with these PCR tests.
[41:52.220 --> 41:53.860] And I kept looking at the results.
[41:53.860 --> 41:57.500] And finally I find that it's done by PCR.
[41:57.500 --> 41:59.900] And I recall my time at a university lab
[41:59.900 --> 42:01.640] when we were just starting PCR testing,
[42:01.640 --> 42:03.500] cause this was early 2000s.
[42:03.500 --> 42:05.700] And Mollis invented it like late 86
[42:05.700 --> 42:10.100] is when the NIH took it up and started using PCR.
[42:10.100 --> 42:13.580] So it got into healthcare early 2000s and all the texts,
[42:13.580 --> 42:15.300] like my mom was a medical technologist.
[42:15.300 --> 42:17.940] It was her job, which she actually ran one of these labs.
[42:17.940 --> 42:20.820] It was her job to run those tests.
[42:20.820 --> 42:24.680] And they were all talking like this was like their new tech.
[42:24.680 --> 42:27.740] Like they were kidding and candy store excited about it.
[42:27.740 --> 42:30.380] This PCR thing, but it was all genetic testing.
[42:30.380 --> 42:31.220] It was genetic.
[42:31.220 --> 42:33.300] It was done for cancer screening,
[42:34.100 --> 42:34.940] which they thought was genetic.
[42:34.940 --> 42:38.540] And it was done for like women that would like,
[42:38.540 --> 42:40.860] they would call it genetic counseling.
[42:40.860 --> 42:43.940] If you're a couple and you're a female and you go
[42:43.940 --> 42:45.300] and you want to have genetic counseling,
[42:45.300 --> 42:49.620] you can see if you have like a hereditary disease,
[42:49.620 --> 42:51.540] like Huntington's, and then maybe decide
[42:51.540 --> 42:55.740] if you want to continue with procreation or not.
[42:55.740 --> 42:57.060] So it was genetic.
[42:57.060 --> 42:59.980] So I thought why all of a sudden are we testing
[42:59.980 --> 43:01.820] for viruses with PCR?
[43:01.820 --> 43:03.100] Well, while I wasn't looking,
[43:03.900 --> 43:05.380] because for 10 years I was a medical coder.
[43:05.380 --> 43:08.060] So I wasn't really looking at what was going on in the lab
[43:08.060 --> 43:10.140] until COVID happened.
[43:10.140 --> 43:14.100] So then I find it's by PCR and I start looking at,
[43:14.100 --> 43:17.060] well, there's obviously this problem with false positives.
[43:17.060 --> 43:19.700] Even Elon Musk was saying, I got two tests in one day.
[43:19.700 --> 43:21.860] One of them was negative, one of them was positive.
[43:21.860 --> 43:23.940] And I could see the hospital was running over
[43:23.940 --> 43:25.940] and over and over these PCR tests,
[43:25.940 --> 43:27.580] waiting to get a positive result
[43:27.580 --> 43:29.320] if they didn't get the right result.
[43:29.320 --> 43:32.340] And I'm like, this doesn't make any sense.
[43:32.380 --> 43:34.220] What is going on here?
[43:34.220 --> 43:38.380] And it fast forward to like after the PCR tests
[43:38.380 --> 43:42.260] evolved a little bit toward the end of 2020 into 2021,
[43:43.940 --> 43:47.300] they had what's called a PCR multiplex assay.
[43:47.300 --> 43:49.020] So it was four different viruses
[43:49.020 --> 43:50.860] they were actually monitoring.
[43:50.860 --> 43:55.540] Flu A, Flu B, RSV, and COVID-19.
[43:56.620 --> 43:59.500] And then the only one that ever came up positive
[43:59.860 --> 44:03.620] for a whole year of running all four of these viruses
[44:03.620 --> 44:04.460] was COVID.
[44:05.380 --> 44:08.860] Not one flu, not one RSV.
[44:08.860 --> 44:11.180] And they say we have a RSV pandemic now.
[44:12.220 --> 44:13.580] It's such an amazing thing.
[44:13.580 --> 44:15.460] And you know, we go back and we used to play the clips
[44:15.460 --> 44:17.980] all the time of Mollus calling out Fauci
[44:17.980 --> 44:21.980] because Fauci used the PCR test
[44:22.940 --> 44:26.340] to claim that AIDS was caused by a virus.
[44:26.340 --> 44:29.460] And that created a big back and forth between them
[44:30.460 --> 44:32.020] and Mollus said, well, I'm not gonna get involved
[44:32.020 --> 44:34.500] in that fight, but I'll tell you this,
[44:34.500 --> 44:37.900] that you can't prove it using the PCR test.
[44:37.900 --> 44:40.020] It can't be used as a diagnostic like that.
[44:40.020 --> 44:42.140] And so it was very interesting
[44:42.140 --> 44:44.820] because they also did not isolate the HIV,
[44:44.820 --> 44:48.540] you know, the virus that supposedly caused AIDS either.
[44:48.540 --> 44:51.140] And so this whole thing has been kind of a bluff.
[44:51.140 --> 44:55.500] What it reminds me of Zoe is the polygraph tests.
[44:55.500 --> 44:57.740] My wife used to be a district personnel manager
[44:57.740 --> 44:58.700] for convenience stores.
[44:58.700 --> 45:00.860] And what they would do if they would have,
[45:00.860 --> 45:02.260] you know, massive shortages somewhere
[45:02.260 --> 45:03.300] and they thought there was theft
[45:03.300 --> 45:05.020] that was going on with the employees,
[45:05.020 --> 45:07.140] they would call them in and polygraph them.
[45:07.140 --> 45:09.540] And the polygraph did not work,
[45:09.540 --> 45:12.220] but it only worked if people believed
[45:12.220 --> 45:16.260] that it could tell them whether or not they were lying.
[45:16.260 --> 45:17.820] And then they would tell the truth about it
[45:17.820 --> 45:19.300] and make a confession, right?
[45:19.300 --> 45:21.420] So it was simply a mind game that was being played
[45:21.420 --> 45:22.940] on the people that were there.
[45:22.940 --> 45:25.780] And that's what the PCR thing is.
[45:25.780 --> 45:27.180] It really is a mind game,
[45:27.180 --> 45:29.940] except that it's become something of a lie detector
[45:29.940 --> 45:31.460] for the people who are administering it.
[45:31.460 --> 45:33.940] We realize now that they are the liars
[45:33.940 --> 45:35.260] who are putting this stuff out.
[45:35.260 --> 45:38.380] I just had in a comment, Lance put up my producer,
[45:38.380 --> 45:40.500] he said that video of Lutnick where he's talking about that
[45:40.500 --> 45:43.380] reminds him of this scene out of the big short,
[45:43.380 --> 45:45.380] which we just went back and watched again
[45:45.380 --> 45:47.500] because of the AI bubble.
[45:47.500 --> 45:50.820] And at one point this guy gets up and he's talking
[45:50.820 --> 45:53.980] and one of the guys who's onto the whole scam says,
[45:53.980 --> 45:55.460] why is he confessing?
[45:55.460 --> 45:58.340] And the other guy says, he's not confessing, he's bragging.
[45:58.340 --> 46:01.380] And that's basically what Lutnick was doing.
[46:01.380 --> 46:03.220] He wasn't confessing about all this stuff,
[46:03.220 --> 46:04.700] he was bragging about it.
[46:04.700 --> 46:07.460] And he continues to get away with this kind of stuff.
[46:07.460 --> 46:08.300] Truly is amazing.
[46:08.300 --> 46:10.860] Yeah, well, what's even more nefarious
[46:10.860 --> 46:12.660] about the PCR test is,
[46:12.660 --> 46:15.980] so the false positive narrative that is only,
[46:15.980 --> 46:18.060] it's about the cycle threshold, but you're correct.
[46:18.060 --> 46:21.340] They didn't actually sequence the,
[46:21.340 --> 46:23.620] they didn't sequence SARS-CoV-2.
[46:23.660 --> 46:26.300] So they never had a sequence.
[46:26.300 --> 46:28.900] They have what's called a consensus sequence,
[46:28.900 --> 46:32.300] which is an average that an AI came up with.
[46:32.300 --> 46:34.860] And that's what they use because they knew they would find
[46:34.860 --> 46:36.780] this in a percentage of people.
[46:36.780 --> 46:38.140] And then they could dial it in
[46:38.140 --> 46:40.380] with the cycle threshold up or down.
[46:40.380 --> 46:41.820] Same thing with the AIDS thing.
[46:41.820 --> 46:45.620] They never isolated AIDS and they used their antibody tests
[46:45.620 --> 46:47.700] at first, which could be dialed up or down
[46:47.700 --> 46:49.900] in the same way as the cycle threshold.
[46:49.900 --> 46:52.300] And David Rasnick, PhD who I've interviewed
[46:52.780 --> 46:53.740] can vouch for that.
[46:53.740 --> 46:57.500] He's got all the science on his webpage to prove all of that.
[46:58.420 --> 47:01.340] But what I was looking past the cycle threshold,
[47:01.340 --> 47:04.740] because I knew this test is dialed in for some reason,
[47:04.740 --> 47:07.740] like they can predict the results somehow.
[47:07.740 --> 47:11.260] And I needed to know how they were manipulating the test.
[47:11.260 --> 47:13.060] And so I looked a little bit further
[47:13.060 --> 47:15.740] and I find a document from the CDC
[47:15.740 --> 47:18.300] that says for every COVID test,
[47:18.300 --> 47:21.100] every CLIA certified lab, which is all of them,
[47:21.980 --> 47:24.540] they all have to be in order to build insurance or anything,
[47:24.540 --> 47:26.740] have to be CLIA certified,
[47:26.740 --> 47:30.820] then they have to send a genetic sequence
[47:30.820 --> 47:35.820] to one of two gene banks, either NCBI or GISAID gene banks.
[47:38.820 --> 47:41.380] And it listed like eight different sequences.
[47:41.380 --> 47:45.500] So they're saying the variants in the details.
[47:45.500 --> 47:49.660] But if you look at some of these labs
[47:49.660 --> 47:51.380] that were running PCR tests
[47:51.380 --> 47:54.860] and making all the money off running these PCR tests,
[47:54.860 --> 47:58.500] they could also take that same sample off that machine,
[47:58.500 --> 48:01.540] put it on another machine, run a sequence.
[48:01.540 --> 48:03.700] And they needed to, in order to comply
[48:03.700 --> 48:06.860] with the CDC's directive to send genetic sequences
[48:06.860 --> 48:08.540] to these gene banks.
[48:08.540 --> 48:10.100] And I interviewed David Rasnick,
[48:10.100 --> 48:11.940] who is a chemistry professor
[48:11.940 --> 48:14.500] who worked with Carey Mullis and knew Carey Mullis.
[48:14.500 --> 48:15.540] I asked him directly,
[48:15.540 --> 48:18.460] do you think that they were just clipping
[48:18.500 --> 48:22.060] a tiny little section of the genetic code
[48:22.060 --> 48:24.180] and then sending it to these gene banks?
[48:24.180 --> 48:26.500] Or do you think they were getting the entire sequence?
[48:26.500 --> 48:28.980] And he says, well, they're running a lab.
[48:28.980 --> 48:29.980] They're busy.
[48:29.980 --> 48:33.380] They're not really thinking about taking the time
[48:33.380 --> 48:34.860] to clip out a sequence.
[48:34.860 --> 48:35.820] So could they?
[48:35.820 --> 48:36.660] Yes.
[48:36.660 --> 48:38.220] But would they really do that?
[48:38.220 --> 48:39.900] No, it'd be so much easier for them
[48:39.900 --> 48:41.260] to just send the whole thing
[48:41.260 --> 48:44.140] and then let the gene bank decide which part
[48:44.140 --> 48:48.180] that they want to determine is the variance of concern.
[48:49.340 --> 48:52.980] So they were, and you look at the different gene banks,
[48:52.980 --> 48:54.780] there's one called DataVance,
[48:54.780 --> 48:57.060] which is now a public-private partnership.
[48:57.060 --> 48:59.100] You look at the Human Genome Project,
[48:59.100 --> 49:04.100] which is now BGI Genetics, I think, in China,
[49:04.300 --> 49:06.340] which is their biggest biotech company.
[49:06.340 --> 49:09.060] And there's billions of billions of dollars
[49:09.060 --> 49:11.540] in collecting our DNA.
[49:11.540 --> 49:13.300] And what they say they're using it for
[49:13.340 --> 49:17.260] is to, and now we have Larry Ellison actually admitting it
[49:17.260 --> 49:19.180] day two of the Trump administration,
[49:19.180 --> 49:20.540] that they're going to use AI,
[49:20.540 --> 49:22.900] which is what they use to get the consensus sequence
[49:22.900 --> 49:25.220] that they dial the PCR test in with.
[49:26.540 --> 49:29.140] They're going to use AI to look at our blood
[49:29.140 --> 49:34.140] and then make a drug or a therapeutic or a vaccine
[49:34.300 --> 49:37.540] tailored to our individual genome.
[49:37.540 --> 49:39.340] And now there's a massive industry
[49:39.340 --> 49:41.220] of all these big tech oligarchs
[49:41.220 --> 49:45.180] that are using AI to develop different vaccines
[49:45.180 --> 49:48.140] or different therapeutics, biotech therapeutics
[49:48.140 --> 49:50.100] tailored to the individual genome.
[49:50.100 --> 49:52.580] So whether or not they're successful with this technology,
[49:52.580 --> 49:55.220] there's a whole bunch of money invested in it.
[49:55.220 --> 49:59.500] So I think PCR was actually a data mining operation
[49:59.500 --> 50:01.620] as well as a money laundering operation.
[50:01.620 --> 50:02.700] That's interesting, yeah.
[50:02.700 --> 50:05.620] And of course, if they want to make a bioweapon
[50:05.620 --> 50:08.220] that is going to target certain groups of people,
[50:08.220 --> 50:10.700] that makes it very easy to do that as well.
[50:11.260 --> 50:12.380] When you look at the PCR,
[50:12.380 --> 50:14.340] Handy, who also has a substack
[50:14.340 --> 50:16.220] and he's been a regular listener
[50:16.220 --> 50:17.740] and commenter on the program,
[50:17.740 --> 50:21.420] he worked in hospitals and he said,
[50:21.420 --> 50:22.900] he was suspicious of these things,
[50:22.900 --> 50:27.100] finally got a nurse to take one of these swabs
[50:27.100 --> 50:30.060] right out of the package and run it through
[50:30.060 --> 50:33.660] and got a positive test without swapping anybody.
[50:33.660 --> 50:36.100] So some of these, it was such garbage.
[50:36.100 --> 50:38.180] I mean, either it's preloaded with something
[50:38.180 --> 50:40.860] or the PCR test is just so off the charts
[50:40.860 --> 50:42.340] with its magnification,
[50:42.340 --> 50:43.900] whatever you can find anything anywhere,
[50:43.900 --> 50:44.740] Kerry Mullis said.
[50:44.740 --> 50:47.060] Well, didn't the president of Tanzania,
[50:47.060 --> 50:50.140] I think he did some PCR tests on like a papaya
[50:50.140 --> 50:53.340] and like a Coca-Cola and got positive results too.
[50:53.340 --> 50:55.740] That's right, it's total nonsense and garbage.
[50:55.740 --> 50:58.780] And I remember when they had the Cannes Film Festival,
[50:58.780 --> 51:01.180] it was in the summer of 2020
[51:01.180 --> 51:04.220] and he had all these elitists who somehow they got there,
[51:04.220 --> 51:05.300] I guess on their private jets,
[51:05.300 --> 51:06.740] didn't have to get screened too much.
[51:06.740 --> 51:09.220] But anyway, they're there and they were complaining
[51:09.220 --> 51:11.340] that they had to do spit tests.
[51:11.340 --> 51:12.700] They said, that's disgusting.
[51:12.700 --> 51:13.860] We got a spit in this thing
[51:13.860 --> 51:15.460] and they got to test it and so forth.
[51:15.460 --> 51:17.460] I said, yeah, so why don't they allow us
[51:17.460 --> 51:19.260] to do a spit test, right?
[51:19.260 --> 51:21.780] They got to ram that thing up your nose,
[51:21.780 --> 51:22.620] but you don't get that.
[51:22.620 --> 51:25.860] But the elites, the jet setters, the private jets,
[51:25.860 --> 51:27.860] they get the spit test or whatever.
[51:27.860 --> 51:29.780] Oh my God, that's funny.
[51:29.780 --> 51:30.620] All this stuff was just so ridiculous.
[51:30.620 --> 51:32.940] When I worked in the university lab,
[51:32.940 --> 51:35.540] there was something called sputum testing,
[51:35.540 --> 51:36.620] which is exactly that.
[51:36.620 --> 51:39.140] You basically hawk a loogie into a cup
[51:39.140 --> 51:41.980] and it was the most disgusting sample
[51:41.980 --> 51:44.820] I ever had to deal with when I worked in the lab.
[51:44.820 --> 51:46.580] And I make a joke in my book,
[51:46.580 --> 51:51.380] we all were spared that they didn't make that the test
[51:51.380 --> 51:52.500] that we had to do.
[51:53.820 --> 51:56.100] But you're telling me that's what the elites do.
[51:56.100 --> 51:57.700] Yeah, I think that's preferable
[51:57.700 --> 51:59.500] to have that thing ram rotted up your nose.
[51:59.500 --> 52:01.420] I guess I didn't have that done to me.
[52:01.420 --> 52:03.580] So I went through the whole thing
[52:03.580 --> 52:05.300] without having a PCR test.
[52:06.060 --> 52:06.900] Sorry, go ahead.
[52:06.900 --> 52:07.740] Me neither.
[52:07.740 --> 52:09.580] That was another reason why I walked out
[52:09.580 --> 52:12.460] because if I were to stay in the hospital,
[52:12.460 --> 52:16.180] they are stay working for them and get the exemption
[52:16.180 --> 52:18.980] that I was gonna have to take a PCR test every week.
[52:18.980 --> 52:21.300] And I didn't want to have to take a PCR test.
[52:21.300 --> 52:24.260] I was pretty sure they were gonna be collecting our DNA
[52:24.260 --> 52:27.940] with it or sensing if we're vaccinated or not,
[52:27.940 --> 52:30.420] or somehow tying that in with the vaccine passport.
[52:30.420 --> 52:32.580] I wasn't entirely sure how it was gonna work,
[52:32.580 --> 52:35.660] but I knew that it wasn't what they were telling us
[52:35.660 --> 52:37.740] and I wasn't about to play along.
[52:37.740 --> 52:39.820] So that was another reason why I couldn't.
[52:39.820 --> 52:41.260] And of course, some of the other things too,
[52:41.260 --> 52:44.580] were some people did some zoomed in on the microscope
[52:44.580 --> 52:47.700] looking at the tip of the swab and said, look at this,
[52:47.700 --> 52:50.740] here's one of the cotton swab and here's this PCR thing
[52:50.740 --> 52:52.220] that's got all these spikes on it.
[52:52.220 --> 52:54.500] And if I run it across some of these things,
[52:54.500 --> 52:56.020] those spikes stick and stay.
[52:56.020 --> 52:58.780] So are they actually implanting something into you?
[53:00.100 --> 53:01.620] I did some research on it
[53:01.620 --> 53:04.300] and I found there were two chemicals
[53:04.300 --> 53:05.860] on the tip of the swab.
[53:05.860 --> 53:08.940] One of them was ethylene oxide and that alone can like,
[53:08.940 --> 53:11.140] they were putting it way up in your nose
[53:11.140 --> 53:13.580] where your pineal gland is your third eye,
[53:13.580 --> 53:15.300] which is right at the top.
[53:15.300 --> 53:17.660] So putting that chemical right there
[53:17.660 --> 53:19.740] is known to cause cancer.
[53:19.740 --> 53:20.980] And so the more you do it,
[53:20.980 --> 53:22.860] the more personogenic it's gonna be.
[53:22.860 --> 53:24.940] And then it also has a chemical property
[53:24.940 --> 53:29.140] where it will basically block and calcify your pineal gland
[53:29.140 --> 53:30.900] so it like closes your third eye.
[53:30.900 --> 53:34.260] And it's also a way that your brain can sense light.
[53:34.260 --> 53:39.260] It's how your body basically like synchronizes hormones
[53:39.380 --> 53:40.300] throughout your whole body.
[53:40.300 --> 53:44.060] So it can like change your whole endocrine system
[53:44.060 --> 53:45.500] if you set off your,
[53:45.500 --> 53:48.500] if you close or calcify your pineal gland.
[53:48.500 --> 53:50.060] So all sorts of things could happen
[53:50.060 --> 53:51.660] just with that one chemical.
[53:51.660 --> 53:54.780] But I think there was also graphene oxide on there.
[53:54.780 --> 53:57.020] There was different schools that said
[53:57.020 --> 54:00.900] they have been given these special masks even
[54:00.900 --> 54:02.940] that had graphene in them similar,
[54:02.940 --> 54:06.060] like the exact same phenomenon about the fibers
[54:06.060 --> 54:09.340] that actually move and respond to magnetics.
[54:09.340 --> 54:12.580] Well, graphene oxide has a magnetic property to it.
[54:12.580 --> 54:15.220] That's why they wanted to use it.
[54:15.220 --> 54:17.820] But it's also supposed to be clean.
[54:17.820 --> 54:18.780] So they were saying like,
[54:18.780 --> 54:22.660] we're using this to make it antibacterial
[54:22.660 --> 54:25.180] because it has antibacterial properties.
[54:26.140 --> 54:30.100] But both the swabs and some of the masks
[54:30.100 --> 54:35.100] had graphene fibers in them that could maybe do that.
[54:35.860 --> 54:38.860] And I have no idea what that would do
[54:38.860 --> 54:42.020] if you shove it up your nose over and over and over.
[54:42.020 --> 54:43.980] So they can inject the graphene into you.
[54:43.980 --> 54:46.180] They can get it in there another way.
[54:46.180 --> 54:48.420] And of course, I've mentioned this many times too.
[54:48.420 --> 54:50.180] There's a couple of different batches,
[54:50.180 --> 54:54.220] each of them over a million of these shots in Japan.
[54:54.260 --> 54:56.940] And they noticed that they were getting black particulates.
[54:56.940 --> 54:57.860] I don't know if it happened
[54:57.860 --> 54:58.740] because they didn't keep them
[54:58.740 --> 55:01.140] at the super cold temperatures or whatever.
[55:01.140 --> 55:04.460] But they noticed black particulates
[55:04.460 --> 55:08.260] and they said they reacted with magnets.
[55:08.260 --> 55:09.420] Yeah, so what is that?
[55:09.420 --> 55:12.060] But they were, end of story.
[55:12.060 --> 55:13.700] No more talking about that.
[55:13.700 --> 55:15.500] And the Japanese government threw away
[55:15.500 --> 55:17.260] a couple million of these vaccines
[55:17.260 --> 55:18.660] because of that type of thing.
[55:18.660 --> 55:21.660] But yeah, there's just so many issues there.
[55:21.660 --> 55:25.540] And people have been lied to so thoroughly
[55:25.540 --> 55:26.380] about all this stuff.
[55:26.380 --> 55:28.420] This is why it's not a dead issue.
[55:28.420 --> 55:29.660] It is still alive
[55:29.660 --> 55:32.100] and they're gonna try to do all this stuff again.
[55:32.100 --> 55:33.380] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson.
[55:33.380 --> 55:36.060] And I want to be honest with you for a second
[55:36.060 --> 55:38.980] about how an act of compassion really feels.
[55:38.980 --> 55:40.100] A couple of years ago,
[55:40.100 --> 55:42.300] I made the choice to partner
[55:42.300 --> 55:44.420] with an amazing organization called
[55:44.420 --> 55:46.020] Compassion International.
[55:46.020 --> 55:46.860] Why?
[55:46.860 --> 55:50.020] Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[55:50.060 --> 55:51.940] It was a nice idea, sure.
[55:51.940 --> 55:55.700] But I had no idea just how much that simple act
[55:55.700 --> 55:57.780] would change my life as well.
[55:57.780 --> 56:00.900] I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life
[56:00.900 --> 56:02.980] change right in front of my eyes.
[56:02.980 --> 56:06.540] Going from starving literally alone on the streets
[56:06.540 --> 56:08.700] to getting the healthcare and education
[56:08.700 --> 56:12.660] she needs to reach her God given full potential.
[56:12.660 --> 56:14.820] I got to be a part of that change.
[56:14.820 --> 56:16.780] And the light of that compassion
[56:16.780 --> 56:18.780] not only illuminates in her,
[56:18.780 --> 56:20.820] it illuminates now in me.
[56:20.820 --> 56:23.420] That is the power of compassion.
[56:23.420 --> 56:27.020] The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[56:27.020 --> 56:31.140] Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[56:31.140 --> 56:34.220] Change the world and you also change yourself.
[56:34.220 --> 56:36.140] You can sponsor a child today.
[56:36.140 --> 56:38.740] Visit Compassion.com.
[56:38.740 --> 56:42.220] That's Compassion.com.
[56:42.220 --> 56:43.060] You know what?
[56:43.060 --> 56:44.860] It sucks to be bored.
[56:44.860 --> 56:45.940] But when I get on my phone
[56:45.940 --> 56:49.140] and play real casino games on SpinQuest.com,
[56:49.140 --> 56:50.660] the time flies by.
[56:50.660 --> 56:54.060] That two hour wait at the DMV seems like 10 minutes.

[56:56.260 --> 56:58.580] live craps with a live dealer.

[57:09.140 --> 57:12.140] Visit SpinQuest.com for more details.
[57:12.140 --> 57:14.700] And since it worked so well,
[57:14.700 --> 57:16.580] they will use the same tactics again.
[57:16.580 --> 57:17.500] That's why it's very important
[57:17.500 --> 57:19.580] to talk about these different tactics.
[57:19.580 --> 57:20.420] And that's what you do with them.
[57:20.420 --> 57:21.500] Well, they're using.
[57:21.500 --> 57:22.780] Yes. Right.
[57:22.780 --> 57:25.460] They're moving forward with the mRNA.
[57:25.460 --> 57:27.940] I mean, they're not only putting it in our food.
[57:27.940 --> 57:29.340] Like we've probably heard,
[57:29.340 --> 57:31.420] I'm sure your audience has heard about the bird flu
[57:31.420 --> 57:33.980] and how they're doing the self-amplifying
[57:33.980 --> 57:36.340] bird flu injections for poultry.
[57:36.340 --> 57:38.780] And they're trying to get it in cattle.
[57:38.780 --> 57:41.540] And they've had mRNA shots in pork.
[57:41.540 --> 57:43.860] So almost all the pork is tainted now
[57:43.900 --> 57:46.020] since like 2018.
[57:46.020 --> 57:47.500] Now they're rolling it out for pets.
[57:47.500 --> 57:48.580] So now when you go in,
[57:48.580 --> 57:52.420] you have to get your annual rabies shot for your pets.
[57:52.420 --> 57:54.300] Now that's gonna be mRNA.
[57:54.300 --> 57:56.940] They're moving over to the mRNA platform
[57:56.940 --> 57:58.700] for all the vaccines.
[57:58.700 --> 58:03.700] So normies who might be a little cautious about COVID-19
[58:04.100 --> 58:07.140] because they've heard the rumors by now, most of them.
[58:07.140 --> 58:12.020] But they haven't heard that now your RSV, your flu,
[58:12.020 --> 58:14.180] and a lot of even like the childhood vaccines
[58:14.180 --> 58:16.740] are moving over to this mRNA platform
[58:16.740 --> 58:19.820] where they get to bypass clinical trials.
[58:19.820 --> 58:20.740] So it still hasn't been,
[58:20.740 --> 58:24.300] this is an experiment that is now being rolled out
[58:24.300 --> 58:27.860] to all our vaccines under the guise of,
[58:27.860 --> 58:29.220] this is totally fine.
[58:29.220 --> 58:30.820] This is normal science.
[58:30.820 --> 58:35.020] We've totally tested this, but it's absolutely not.
[58:35.020 --> 58:36.780] I mean, they've been had-
[58:36.780 --> 58:37.620] That's right.
[58:37.620 --> 58:38.460] People need to understand.
[58:38.460 --> 58:41.740] For like three years, for the first one,
[58:42.460 --> 58:45.340] we just barely passed the first part of monetary.
[58:45.340 --> 58:46.300] That's right.
[58:46.300 --> 58:47.340] And people need to understand
[58:47.340 --> 58:49.300] that the guy who boasted about being the father
[58:49.300 --> 58:52.620] of the vaccine, first things he did, as you pointed out,
[58:52.620 --> 58:54.100] Stargate thing with Larry Ellison,
[58:54.100 --> 58:55.740] where he's talking about, well, we're gonna use AI
[58:55.740 --> 58:58.100] to design custom design this for your genetics.
[58:58.100 --> 59:01.260] And then we will deliver it with an MRA platform.
[59:01.260 --> 59:03.940] And the person that they put in as the,
[59:03.940 --> 59:06.700] they chose to put in at the head of the CDC
[59:06.700 --> 59:08.220] was Susan Monarez.
[59:08.220 --> 59:11.060] And that had been what she was working on
[59:11.100 --> 59:14.380] with BARDA and with ARPA-H
[59:14.380 --> 59:19.380] and these dark bioweapon companies
[59:19.540 --> 59:22.020] that are part of the government
[59:22.020 --> 59:25.100] and the military industrial complex
[59:25.100 --> 59:27.900] and the bioweapon platforms and things like that.
[59:27.900 --> 59:30.420] So there's all these different threads
[59:30.420 --> 59:34.020] that tie this throughout the Trump administration,
[59:34.020 --> 59:36.260] pushing MRA for all these various things.
[59:36.260 --> 59:37.860] And of course then, Brooke Rollins,
[59:37.860 --> 59:40.300] who's the agricultural secretary,
[59:40.300 --> 59:43.100] she decides on her own initiative
[59:43.100 --> 59:47.220] that she's going to end this mass culling of chickens
[59:47.220 --> 59:50.780] by authorizing the mRNA bird flu for chickens.
[59:50.780 --> 59:54.500] And then they authorize it for other livestock as well.
[59:54.500 --> 59:56.420] It is, the signals are all there
[59:56.420 --> 59:58.540] that this is all still going on,
[59:58.540 --> 01:00:02.780] that Trump is right at the epicenter of all this mRNA stuff.
[01:00:02.780 --> 01:00:06.500] And I guess what we could call now the mRNA-I
[01:00:06.500 --> 01:00:08.460] as in AI, artificial intelligence,
[01:00:08.460 --> 01:00:10.940] it's all connected together, isn't it?
[01:00:10.940 --> 01:00:13.380] Absolutely, it's a giant web
[01:00:13.380 --> 01:00:18.380] and it is gonna be tied to our behavior scores
[01:00:18.980 --> 01:00:23.340] and if we comply, how much we comply with it.
[01:00:23.340 --> 01:00:25.940] Looking at who's monitoring the DNA,
[01:00:25.940 --> 01:00:29.900] where they have to report the PCR results
[01:00:29.900 --> 01:00:34.900] to who's hiding the adverse effects of the vaccine,
[01:00:35.980 --> 01:00:37.260] putting that all together
[01:00:37.260 --> 01:00:42.260] and looking at where are they actually,
[01:00:42.500 --> 01:00:46.020] where are we reporting all of these PCR results
[01:00:46.020 --> 01:00:51.020] and where are we reporting the COVID-19 case numbers?
[01:00:51.220 --> 01:00:53.660] And now we actually have a code
[01:00:53.660 --> 01:00:56.500] to report the COVID-19 adverse effects,
[01:00:56.500 --> 01:00:58.940] but it's still not being used.
[01:00:58.940 --> 01:01:02.220] So looking at that and trying to figure out
[01:01:02.220 --> 01:01:06.900] where the code was and why we're not able to report it still,
[01:01:06.900 --> 01:01:09.060] I happen to find that every agency
[01:01:09.060 --> 01:01:12.300] involved in monitoring COVID-19 cases
[01:01:12.300 --> 01:01:15.420] and vaccination tracking specifically
[01:01:15.420 --> 01:01:17.620] because there's so many vaccine registries,
[01:01:17.620 --> 01:01:21.380] it blows your mind, it's tied to national security.
[01:01:21.380 --> 01:01:22.220] Oh yeah.
[01:01:22.220 --> 01:01:24.980] So it's a matter of national security
[01:01:24.980 --> 01:01:27.540] if you participate in this scheme or not.
[01:01:28.580 --> 01:01:29.900] Yeah, and this was all DARPA
[01:01:29.900 --> 01:01:33.380] and it was all the military and the intelligence agencies
[01:01:33.380 --> 01:01:36.020] and all of the dark winter stuff they had,
[01:01:36.060 --> 01:01:38.100] Fauci and the former head of the CIA
[01:01:38.100 --> 01:01:40.460] was playing the role of the president
[01:01:40.460 --> 01:01:42.780] during the first germ game in dark winter.
[01:01:42.780 --> 01:01:45.020] I mean, it's all the usual suspects
[01:01:45.020 --> 01:01:46.500] that are involved in all this stuff.
[01:01:46.500 --> 01:01:48.860] It really is a bioweapon
[01:01:48.860 --> 01:01:52.180] that is really targeted to the population
[01:01:52.180 --> 01:01:54.300] and it truly is amazing.
[01:01:54.300 --> 01:01:57.020] I think they're even gonna try and do more data mining,
[01:01:57.020 --> 01:02:00.140] like go even further than PCR testing
[01:02:00.140 --> 01:02:04.020] with the wearables rollout that we're getting now
[01:02:04.020 --> 01:02:06.220] because the information,
[01:02:06.220 --> 01:02:11.220] like when I learned that our COVID-19 case numbers,
[01:02:11.260 --> 01:02:14.100] the PCR test is actually getting reported
[01:02:15.020 --> 01:02:19.420] to foreign countries and our DNA is being data mined
[01:02:19.420 --> 01:02:22.340] and they're able to tell if we've had a vaccine or not,
[01:02:22.340 --> 01:02:24.740] what's our ethnicity, where we are,
[01:02:24.740 --> 01:02:25.740] how much money we make,
[01:02:25.740 --> 01:02:28.420] like they're layering all of this information
[01:02:28.420 --> 01:02:29.980] and during operation work speed,
[01:02:29.980 --> 01:02:32.780] they had a program called Tiberius
[01:02:32.780 --> 01:02:35.500] which was used in hospitals.
[01:02:35.500 --> 01:02:37.260] There's different Palantir programs
[01:02:37.260 --> 01:02:39.540] that are used in hospitals to monitor
[01:02:39.540 --> 01:02:42.540] and manage the hospital down to like staffing.
[01:02:42.540 --> 01:02:44.220] There was even a program that was part
[01:02:44.220 --> 01:02:47.780] of operation work speed called HHS Protect
[01:02:47.780 --> 01:02:49.260] and the hospitals had to report
[01:02:49.260 --> 01:02:50.780] how many ventilators were in use,
[01:02:50.780 --> 01:02:52.500] how many patients were there.
[01:02:54.540 --> 01:02:56.980] I don't know why my camera just stopped.
[01:02:56.980 --> 01:02:57.980] That was weird.
[01:02:57.980 --> 01:02:59.580] Well, I still have audio.
[01:03:00.580 --> 01:03:01.980] Literally just, I didn't do it.
[01:03:01.980 --> 01:03:03.060] You're back, you're back.
[01:03:03.060 --> 01:03:04.380] That's good, you're back.
[01:03:06.100 --> 01:03:08.900] So they had this program that hospitals had to report
[01:03:08.900 --> 01:03:12.700] how many ventilators, how many patients are in the ICU,
[01:03:12.700 --> 01:03:15.340] how much remdesivir we were using,
[01:03:15.340 --> 01:03:18.820] what's our census report, like all kinds of information
[01:03:18.820 --> 01:03:21.260] that even the hospital didn't want to have to report
[01:03:21.260 --> 01:03:24.500] in addition to all the other data mining we were doing
[01:03:24.500 --> 01:03:29.500] and that program was a Palantir program called Tiberius
[01:03:29.780 --> 01:03:32.660] which it's used in Gaza
[01:03:32.660 --> 01:03:36.500] and that's the one that they use to assign risk scores.
[01:03:36.500 --> 01:03:38.780] Well, they used that here already in America
[01:03:38.780 --> 01:03:40.820] during operation work speed
[01:03:40.820 --> 01:03:42.900] to figure out if you were vaccinated or not,
[01:03:42.900 --> 01:03:46.500] to target different ethnic groups for vaccines
[01:03:46.500 --> 01:03:48.580] and then to figure out where the countermeasures
[01:03:48.580 --> 01:03:50.700] as in where did the ventilators need to go?
[01:03:50.700 --> 01:03:53.580] Where did the remdesivir need to go?
[01:03:53.580 --> 01:03:57.380] So they've already had these programs in place
[01:03:57.380 --> 01:03:59.420] that are tied into our medical records
[01:04:00.260 --> 01:04:01.820] and then to hear Larry Ellison say,
[01:04:01.820 --> 01:04:04.660] we're gonna use your medical records and your DNA,
[01:04:04.660 --> 01:04:08.580] your personal data to design stuff directly to you
[01:04:08.580 --> 01:04:10.300] and then in addition they say,
[01:04:10.300 --> 01:04:12.260] we're gonna put wearables on you.
[01:04:12.260 --> 01:04:16.300] They're going to monitor your body at all times
[01:04:16.300 --> 01:04:18.300] for the purposes of national security
[01:04:18.300 --> 01:04:20.140] and I don't know how that doesn't send shivers
[01:04:20.140 --> 01:04:22.580] down the spine of every single citizen in this country.
[01:04:22.580 --> 01:04:23.420] Yeah, absolutely.
[01:04:23.420 --> 01:04:24.780] I mean, we look at their big data thing
[01:04:24.780 --> 01:04:27.500] that they have to have total information awareness.
[01:04:27.540 --> 01:04:29.620] Remember how everybody was creeped out about that
[01:04:29.620 --> 01:04:31.660] and yet that is what this really is,
[01:04:31.660 --> 01:04:33.060] the implementation of this.
[01:04:33.060 --> 01:04:35.020] The big data is looking at everything that you're doing,
[01:04:35.020 --> 01:04:38.140] not just online but they've got to get it out of cyberspace
[01:04:38.140 --> 01:04:41.780] into physical space with all these other aspects of it
[01:04:41.780 --> 01:04:44.500] and companies like Palantir,
[01:04:44.500 --> 01:04:47.700] they have been focused on geospatial intelligence
[01:04:47.700 --> 01:04:52.420] and data mining and drawing all these conclusions
[01:04:52.420 --> 01:04:54.500] about people's politics or religion and so forth
[01:04:54.500 --> 01:04:57.180] based just on even geospatial intelligence.
[01:04:57.180 --> 01:05:00.380] When they get to additional factors like this,
[01:05:01.380 --> 01:05:03.100] they know everything about you
[01:05:03.100 --> 01:05:05.260] and we're not allowed to know anything
[01:05:05.260 --> 01:05:07.380] about what they do or the results.
[01:05:07.380 --> 01:05:09.220] That's why it really is at its essence
[01:05:09.220 --> 01:05:10.740] that is an information war
[01:05:10.740 --> 01:05:15.020] because all the information is flowing in one direction
[01:05:15.020 --> 01:05:17.940] and they have an insatiable appetite
[01:05:17.940 --> 01:05:20.220] to know everything about everybody.
[01:05:20.220 --> 01:05:23.180] It is part and parcel of their control,
[01:05:23.180 --> 01:05:26.500] this total knowledge about everyone and everything
[01:05:26.700 --> 01:05:29.660] and now AI and especially companies like Palantir
[01:05:29.660 --> 01:05:32.020] have given them the ability to go through
[01:05:32.020 --> 01:05:34.020] and collate this massive amount of data
[01:05:34.020 --> 01:05:35.980] that they've been collecting for some time.
[01:05:35.980 --> 01:05:37.580] Now they can make sense of it
[01:05:37.580 --> 01:05:39.660] because it was so much information
[01:05:39.660 --> 01:05:40.980] they've been collecting on people,
[01:05:40.980 --> 01:05:42.540] they couldn't sort through it with humans
[01:05:42.540 --> 01:05:45.820] and so now they've got the AI that can sort through this.
[01:05:45.820 --> 01:05:48.540] That is what's so concerning about all of this.
[01:05:49.500 --> 01:05:51.660] It really is because when you go on social media
[01:05:51.660 --> 01:05:53.380] and you're fed an algorithm of like
[01:05:53.380 --> 01:05:56.300] which posts do you get to see today,
[01:05:57.140 --> 01:06:00.420] that's going to be how our whole lives are run
[01:06:00.420 --> 01:06:02.140] and I don't know how many people I've known
[01:06:02.140 --> 01:06:03.900] complain about their algorithm.
[01:06:03.900 --> 01:06:06.060] Oh, it's just, it's triggering me today
[01:06:06.060 --> 01:06:08.060] or I don't know why my algorithm's all screwed up
[01:06:08.060 --> 01:06:09.500] and it's showing me blah, blah.
[01:06:09.500 --> 01:06:11.780] Well, imagine if that same algorithm
[01:06:11.780 --> 01:06:13.900] is now your government gets to make decisions
[01:06:13.900 --> 01:06:15.420] about if you're a good person or not
[01:06:15.420 --> 01:06:17.020] and if you get to go out today
[01:06:17.020 --> 01:06:18.100] or if you get to eat today
[01:06:18.100 --> 01:06:19.780] or if you get to use your money today.
[01:06:19.780 --> 01:06:21.420] Yeah, that's right.
[01:06:21.420 --> 01:06:22.620] Yeah, it's all about total control
[01:06:22.620 --> 01:06:25.500] and of course that guy Lucky Lutnick,
[01:06:26.380 --> 01:06:28.900] who is bragging about how much money he can make
[01:06:28.900 --> 01:06:32.940] knowing that the government was going to just flood cash
[01:06:32.940 --> 01:06:34.860] into these pharmaceutical companies.
[01:06:34.860 --> 01:06:37.460] Now I can go in and I can make money off of that, right?
[01:06:37.460 --> 01:06:39.460] So he's got this insider information
[01:06:39.460 --> 01:06:41.660] and he's the guy that's gonna be doing
[01:06:41.660 --> 01:06:46.140] the new public-private version of a CBDC
[01:06:46.140 --> 01:06:49.100] and once they know all your financial transactions,
[01:06:49.100 --> 01:06:51.940] all the rest, any part of this puzzle
[01:06:51.940 --> 01:06:54.860] would give them pretty much total control over your life
[01:06:54.860 --> 01:06:57.620] but they've got so many different facets
[01:06:57.620 --> 01:07:00.540] where they are monitoring and collating information
[01:07:00.540 --> 01:07:04.540] about you that it truly is just overwhelming
[01:07:04.540 --> 01:07:05.620] to even try to think about it.
[01:07:05.620 --> 01:07:09.020] But again, it's the ignorance and the darkness
[01:07:09.020 --> 01:07:11.780] that they have fooled everybody with.
[01:07:11.780 --> 01:07:13.740] That's why it's so important what you're doing
[01:07:13.740 --> 01:07:18.740] and again, the site is thrillkillmedicalcult.com
[01:07:19.340 --> 01:07:21.460] and you're also on Substack
[01:07:21.460 --> 01:07:26.460] and people find that at zowe.substack.com
[01:07:27.060 --> 01:07:30.860] and it's very important for people to use this information
[01:07:30.860 --> 01:07:33.540] to try to wake people up as to what's going on.
[01:07:33.540 --> 01:07:36.140] They've not only hidden stuff from people
[01:07:36.140 --> 01:07:38.380] but they have, in terms of inoculation,
[01:07:38.380 --> 01:07:42.500] the one thing they've inoculated you against is the truth
[01:07:42.500 --> 01:07:44.740] and they've inoculated you against questioning
[01:07:44.740 --> 01:07:47.740] what they tell people and that's why you need to
[01:07:47.740 --> 01:07:51.020] try to wake people up with sites like Zoe's as well.
[01:07:51.540 --> 01:07:53.820] So is there anything else that you would like to hit?
[01:07:55.380 --> 01:07:58.220] I just, if anyone is interested,
[01:07:58.220 --> 01:08:01.540] I'm gonna be doing a memorial for the people
[01:08:01.540 --> 01:08:04.060] that we've lost to hospital protocols
[01:08:04.060 --> 01:08:09.060] and vaccine injured, including women who may have had
[01:08:09.140 --> 01:08:14.140] a stillbirth or a miscarriage due to the shot.
[01:08:15.260 --> 01:08:19.700] So if you go to my website, there's a page called Vigil
[01:08:19.700 --> 01:08:22.660] and if you'd like to submit a name of a loved one,
[01:08:22.660 --> 01:08:24.620] you don't have to tell us anything more,
[01:08:24.620 --> 01:08:25.900] just the name of a loved one.
[01:08:25.900 --> 01:08:29.540] You could even just put baby boy or baby girl if you like
[01:08:29.540 --> 01:08:32.940] and we're gonna be lighting a candle
[01:08:32.940 --> 01:08:35.820] in remembrance of your loved ones.
[01:08:36.820 --> 01:08:40.020] So if you like, please go in and submit a name
[01:08:40.020 --> 01:08:41.700] and we will honor your loss.
[01:08:41.700 --> 01:08:42.820] It's important.
[01:08:42.820 --> 01:08:44.860] We cannot forget what they've done to us
[01:08:44.860 --> 01:08:47.260] and we cannot forget those that they have killed.
[01:08:47.260 --> 01:08:49.540] That's absolutely vital.
[01:08:49.580 --> 01:08:50.980] Thank you so much for what you do.
[01:08:50.980 --> 01:08:55.980] Again, Zoe Smith, her website is thrillkillmedicalcult.com
[01:08:57.380 --> 01:09:01.500] and you can find her on Substack at zoe.substack.com
[01:09:01.500 --> 01:09:03.660] and she spells Zoe, Z-O-W-E.
[01:09:03.660 --> 01:09:05.340] Thank you so much for joining us.
[01:09:05.340 --> 01:09:07.060] We're gonna take a quick break, folks,
[01:09:07.060 --> 01:09:08.380] and we will be right back.
[01:09:08.380 --> 01:09:09.820] Stay with us.
[01:09:09.820 --> 01:09:14.820] ["Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1"]
[01:09:39.820 --> 01:09:44.820] ["Pomp and Circumstance March No. 2"]
[01:09:55.620 --> 01:09:58.420] You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[01:10:00.460 --> 01:10:03.700] Hear news now at APSradioNews.com
[01:10:03.700 --> 01:10:07.460] or get the APSradio app and never miss another story.
[01:10:08.460 --> 01:10:11.100] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to pause
[01:10:11.100 --> 01:10:12.940] what you're doing for just one minute
[01:10:12.940 --> 01:10:15.740] and I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:10:15.740 --> 01:10:19.220] She lives in a remote community with very few resources
[01:10:19.220 --> 01:10:21.700] and little to no healthcare.
[01:10:21.700 --> 01:10:23.700] So when Alejandra gets sick,
[01:10:23.700 --> 01:10:25.820] her parents have no real options,
[01:10:25.820 --> 01:10:28.060] no doctors in their community,
[01:10:28.060 --> 01:10:31.460] and no money for real medical care.
[01:10:31.460 --> 01:10:34.180] By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:10:34.260 --> 01:10:37.580] She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:10:37.580 --> 01:10:40.380] I can't take the pain anymore.
[01:10:40.380 --> 01:10:42.180] I can't keep going.
[01:10:42.180 --> 01:10:44.940] Her parents drove hours to find a doctor
[01:10:44.940 --> 01:10:48.620] who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital.
[01:10:48.620 --> 01:10:52.100] And that was impossible for her family to afford.
[01:10:52.100 --> 01:10:56.060] And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:10:56.060 --> 01:10:59.300] Now through compassion, Alejandra was treated
[01:10:59.300 --> 01:11:02.340] and against all odds, she survived.
[01:11:02.380 --> 01:11:06.340] She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:11:06.340 --> 01:11:08.660] Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[01:11:08.660 --> 01:11:11.460] just like Alejandra who won't survive
[01:11:11.460 --> 01:11:14.020] unless someone like you steps in.
[01:11:14.020 --> 01:11:17.780] Compassion International partners with local churches,
[01:11:17.780 --> 01:11:20.780] providing children with the support that they need,
[01:11:20.780 --> 01:11:24.820] critical medical care, plus food, education,
[01:11:24.820 --> 01:11:28.900] and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name.
[01:11:28.900 --> 01:11:32.700] So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[01:12:11.540 --> 01:12:13.860] And of course, it's kind of interesting.
[01:12:13.860 --> 01:12:15.260] SoftBank, you know, we were just talking
[01:12:15.260 --> 01:12:17.700] about Stargate project with Larry Ellison,
[01:12:17.700 --> 01:12:19.380] and the bank that came in
[01:12:19.380 --> 01:12:22.740] was this Japanese bank called SoftBank.
[01:12:22.740 --> 01:12:26.140] They're very much invested in technology issues.
[01:12:26.140 --> 01:12:29.340] And that was what Trump kicked off
[01:12:29.340 --> 01:12:30.860] his second administration with.
[01:12:30.860 --> 01:12:35.860] Well, SoftBank dumped every single share of NVIDIA,
[01:12:35.900 --> 01:12:38.740] and that had an effect on the entire market,
[01:12:38.740 --> 01:12:40.940] not just on NVIDIA stock.
[01:12:40.940 --> 01:12:43.540] And remember, we talked about Michael Burry,
[01:12:43.540 --> 01:12:45.580] the guy behind the,
[01:12:48.940 --> 01:12:50.980] who sussed out, Big Short,
[01:12:50.980 --> 01:12:53.700] who sussed out what was going on in the market,
[01:12:53.740 --> 01:12:56.180] real estate market fraud and bubble.
[01:12:56.180 --> 01:13:01.180] And he focused on shorting NVIDIA as well as Palantir.
[01:13:01.460 --> 01:13:04.940] And so we've had a lot of big players,
[01:13:04.940 --> 01:13:08.020] and people who are very professional, very savvy,
[01:13:08.020 --> 01:13:09.340] who are calling bubble.
[01:13:09.340 --> 01:13:13.740] And so NVIDIA went down by one and a half percent
[01:13:13.740 --> 01:13:17.540] after SoftBank sold all of their shares.
[01:13:17.540 --> 01:13:21.220] And then of course, Palantir is also going down.
[01:13:21.220 --> 01:13:23.660] Palantir was really the biggest bet
[01:13:24.620 --> 01:13:25.980] that Michael Burry of the Big Short put on.
[01:13:25.980 --> 01:13:27.900] It was actually when he did the Big Short
[01:13:27.900 --> 01:13:29.100] of over a billion dollars,
[01:13:29.100 --> 01:13:33.460] which is like 80% of his company or his fund or whatever.
[01:13:34.540 --> 01:13:38.260] So 84% of that short was Palantir,
[01:13:38.260 --> 01:13:43.260] and 14% or 16% was the NVIDIA.
[01:13:44.060 --> 01:13:47.700] And somebody put this up, Inverse Kramer.
[01:13:47.700 --> 01:13:50.620] So look at Kramer as being a contra indicator
[01:13:50.620 --> 01:13:52.220] of what they should invest in.
[01:13:52.220 --> 01:13:56.140] They said, Jim Kramer remains undefeated.
[01:13:56.140 --> 01:13:59.140] And so what they have there is a tweet that he put out
[01:13:59.140 --> 01:14:01.460] as recently as the 29th of October.
[01:14:01.460 --> 01:14:02.620] And he was saying,
[01:14:02.620 --> 01:14:04.740] I'm taking my price target for Palantir
[01:14:04.740 --> 01:14:08.180] from 200 to 250 exclamation mark.
[01:14:08.180 --> 01:14:10.740] Well, it went from 200 when he said that,
[01:14:10.740 --> 01:14:15.740] down to now about maybe 165 or 170.
[01:14:15.860 --> 01:14:18.060] As I said, he remains undefeated
[01:14:18.060 --> 01:14:20.500] as always being the counter indicator
[01:14:20.500 --> 01:14:22.260] of where things should go.
[01:14:22.260 --> 01:14:25.540] And you know, when I look at all of this hype
[01:14:25.540 --> 01:14:29.860] about AI robots that we got from Elon Musk last week,
[01:14:29.860 --> 01:14:32.380] and so many others, the AI hype,
[01:14:32.380 --> 01:14:34.220] the robotic hype and everything,
[01:14:34.220 --> 01:14:36.820] this is Russia and their robot
[01:14:36.820 --> 01:14:37.940] that they wanted to demonstrate.
[01:14:37.940 --> 01:14:40.900] Again, we always hear about Russian bots, right?
[01:14:40.900 --> 01:14:43.140] They're talking about AI
[01:14:43.140 --> 01:14:46.380] that is putting out narratives on social media.
[01:14:46.380 --> 01:14:48.860] But here's a literal Russian bot
[01:14:48.860 --> 01:14:51.500] and people's comments about this.
[01:14:51.500 --> 01:14:53.780] It looks like they used a drunk
[01:14:53.780 --> 01:14:56.060] to teach its robot how to walk.
[01:14:57.300 --> 01:14:58.740] See how it's walking there?
[01:14:58.740 --> 01:14:59.900] And watch what happens.
[01:14:59.900 --> 01:15:01.460] Takes another couple of steps.
[01:15:01.460 --> 01:15:04.180] And just like a drunk, it falls down on the side.
[01:15:04.180 --> 01:15:05.380] Watch this, it's coming.
[01:15:06.300 --> 01:15:08.380] It's staggering, there it goes down.
[01:15:08.380 --> 01:15:11.500] So let's hope that that is a metaphor
[01:15:11.500 --> 01:15:13.460] for robotics and for AI.
[01:15:13.460 --> 01:15:15.260] Again, as I said last week,
[01:15:15.260 --> 01:15:16.740] a lot of people are looking at this and they said,
[01:15:16.740 --> 01:15:19.060] well, how does this end?
[01:15:19.060 --> 01:15:23.220] Well, there's only two or three combinations of this
[01:15:23.220 --> 01:15:28.220] that could go either the AI hype and the bubble bursts
[01:15:28.220 --> 01:15:31.260] and takes down the economy big time
[01:15:31.260 --> 01:15:33.860] or global economy big time,
[01:15:33.860 --> 01:15:36.940] or it is successful and it takes everybody's jobs.
[01:15:36.940 --> 01:15:39.260] And I said, well, there's a third alternative
[01:15:39.260 --> 01:15:43.460] that it is sustained by the governments
[01:15:43.460 --> 01:15:45.700] who use it to control us.
[01:15:45.700 --> 01:15:48.500] And I think that is true of both AI and robotics.
[01:15:48.500 --> 01:15:53.380] I think that the best use case for all this stuff
[01:15:53.380 --> 01:15:55.820] is tyranny and totalitarianism.
[01:15:55.820 --> 01:15:59.380] Well, SoftBank dumped their entire Nvidia stake,
[01:15:59.380 --> 01:16:03.140] but they're not getting out of AI completely.
[01:16:03.140 --> 01:16:07.900] So it's not a complete pushback against AI.
[01:16:07.900 --> 01:16:10.700] They just decided that they would move from Nvidia
[01:16:10.700 --> 01:16:13.660] to some other platforms.
[01:16:13.700 --> 01:16:15.900] They're still involved in AI.
[01:16:15.900 --> 01:16:20.900] And they had just under $6 billion stake in Nvidia.
[01:16:21.300 --> 01:16:25.060] And the guy who is the head of SoftBank,
[01:16:25.060 --> 01:16:26.620] his name is Gotoo.
[01:16:26.620 --> 01:16:28.100] I guess he's the Gotoo guy.
[01:16:29.300 --> 01:16:31.420] If you want some tech capital.
[01:16:31.420 --> 01:16:34.540] I can't say if we're in an AI bubble or not, said Gotoo.
[01:16:35.540 --> 01:16:37.780] Adding that the sale was for capital
[01:16:37.780 --> 01:16:39.820] and can be utilized for our financing.
[01:16:39.820 --> 01:16:41.860] So he's not gonna say that we're in an AI bubble
[01:16:41.860 --> 01:16:45.140] because he's got some other irons in the fire
[01:16:45.140 --> 01:16:46.620] and he doesn't wanna tank this thing.
[01:16:46.620 --> 01:16:50.140] I can neither confirm nor deny that we are in an AI bubble.
[01:16:51.180 --> 01:16:53.500] Yeah, but a lot of people have been confirming that.
[01:16:53.500 --> 01:16:55.180] As a matter of fact, Zero Hedge pointed out and said,
[01:16:55.180 --> 01:16:57.820] well, we've had four recent articles
[01:16:57.820 --> 01:16:58.700] that are really must read.
[01:16:58.700 --> 01:17:00.060] Here's the headlines.
[01:17:00.060 --> 01:17:04.340] The AI bubble watch out metric has just snapped.
[01:17:05.260 --> 01:17:10.260] AI is now a debt bubble too, quietly surpassing all banks
[01:17:10.300 --> 01:17:13.620] to become the largest sector in the market.
[01:17:13.620 --> 01:17:17.940] And Sam Altman denying OpenAI needs a government bailout.
[01:17:17.940 --> 01:17:21.260] He just wants massive government subsidies.
[01:17:21.260 --> 01:17:23.420] So yeah, we do the subsidy
[01:17:23.420 --> 01:17:25.500] so we don't have to do the bailout.
[01:17:25.500 --> 01:17:28.420] So it had an effect of course on Nvidia,
[01:17:28.420 --> 01:17:31.980] but also on a lot of different stocks of futures,
[01:17:31.980 --> 01:17:35.300] slid down as AI jitters return.
[01:17:35.300 --> 01:17:37.980] And yet, no matter how many people come out,
[01:17:38.020 --> 01:17:40.820] no matter how many people who are large and connected
[01:17:40.820 --> 01:17:42.540] come out against this,
[01:17:42.540 --> 01:17:46.340] you still have the bubble continues to inflate.
[01:17:46.340 --> 01:17:49.420] And another company was involved in that as well, CoreWeave.
[01:17:49.420 --> 01:17:54.060] They rent out access to the AI chips
[01:17:54.060 --> 01:17:57.500] and they had some interesting issues there
[01:17:57.500 --> 01:17:59.220] and setbacks as well.
[01:17:59.220 --> 01:18:04.220] But this article from Free Thought Project is very timely.
[01:18:04.660 --> 01:18:07.700] They said it is time to pay attention.
[01:18:08.420 --> 01:18:11.260] Europe has just eviscerated monetary privacy
[01:18:11.260 --> 01:18:14.020] and it's gonna be coming here to the United States next.
[01:18:14.020 --> 01:18:16.060] They're basically starting down the path
[01:18:16.060 --> 01:18:20.260] of banning all cash, state-run digital money.
[01:18:20.260 --> 01:18:21.420] That's a law that has passed
[01:18:21.420 --> 01:18:24.140] and it goes live in only 400 days.
[01:18:24.140 --> 01:18:27.020] And so they're going to make it criminal to pay cash
[01:18:27.020 --> 01:18:29.140] for anything over 10,000 euros.
[01:18:29.140 --> 01:18:32.020] But of course that level is gonna continue to come down.
[01:18:32.020 --> 01:18:35.820] That's why you need to get into physical gold and silver.
[01:18:35.820 --> 01:18:37.180] You gotta get out of this system
[01:18:37.220 --> 01:18:38.060] and that's what they're talking about.
[01:18:38.060 --> 01:18:39.300] They have a lot of different alternatives
[01:18:39.300 --> 01:18:41.900] in this Free Thought Project article.
[01:18:41.900 --> 01:18:43.540] One thing they don't mention, strangely enough,
[01:18:43.540 --> 01:18:45.180] is physical gold and silver.
[01:18:45.180 --> 01:18:48.020] I think that is the simplest, easiest,
[01:18:48.020 --> 01:18:53.020] most direct thing to essentially short the totalitarianism.
[01:18:53.300 --> 01:18:54.300] That's what you need to be doing.
[01:18:54.300 --> 01:18:56.740] Don't short the market, short the totalitarianism.
[01:18:56.740 --> 01:18:57.900] Go to David Nightdyde Gold
[01:18:57.900 --> 01:19:00.860] that'll take you to Tony Arderman's Wise Wolf Gold.
[01:19:00.860 --> 01:19:03.140] Have a good day, thank you for joining us.
[01:19:03.140 --> 01:19:04.340] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson
[01:19:04.580 --> 01:19:07.580] I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute
[01:19:07.580 --> 01:19:10.900] and I want you to hear about love, generosity,
[01:19:10.900 --> 01:19:11.820] and compassion.
[01:19:11.820 --> 01:19:15.020] We say those words all the time and they sound good.
[01:19:15.020 --> 01:19:16.100] They feel good.
[01:19:16.100 --> 01:19:17.540] But here's the truth.
[01:19:17.540 --> 01:19:21.740] Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into action.
[01:19:21.740 --> 01:19:25.300] And right now, not later today, not tomorrow,
[01:19:25.300 --> 01:19:29.660] there's a child in the world who doesn't know if they'll eat,
[01:19:29.660 --> 01:19:31.780] if they'll have a chance to learn,
[01:19:31.780 --> 01:19:34.060] or if there's any hope at all.
[01:19:34.220 --> 01:19:38.300] And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward,
[01:19:38.300 --> 01:19:40.020] but that child is waiting.
[01:19:40.020 --> 01:19:42.060] This is where you come in.
[01:19:42.060 --> 01:19:43.620] With Compassion International,
[01:19:43.620 --> 01:19:46.740] you have the chance to change a child's future.

[01:19:49.500 --> 01:19:53.140] but with real help that provides food, education,
[01:19:53.140 --> 01:19:56.020] and hope through local churches
[01:19:56.020 --> 01:19:58.620] and people already in their community.

[01:20:41.900 --> 01:20:44.900] ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:21:11.900 --> 01:21:14.900] ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:21:41.900 --> 01:21:44.900] ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:21:44.900 --> 01:21:47.900] ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:21:47.900 --> 01:21:50.900] ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:21:50.900 --> 01:21:53.900] ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:21:55.300 --> 01:21:58.540] Keith Riegert says that there's only two possibilities
[01:21:58.540 --> 01:21:59.900] for AI.
[01:21:59.900 --> 01:22:02.220] It's either gonna collapse the economy,
[01:22:02.220 --> 01:22:03.940] if it doesn't work out,
[01:22:03.940 --> 01:22:05.220] or if it does work out,
[01:22:05.220 --> 01:22:08.020] the use case is to take everybody's job
[01:22:08.020 --> 01:22:10.780] and make everybody's jobs obsolete.
[01:22:10.780 --> 01:22:12.540] It's not a good prospect
[01:22:12.540 --> 01:22:14.780] if those are the two choices that are there.
[01:22:14.780 --> 01:22:16.700] I think, though, that there is a third choice,
[01:22:16.700 --> 01:22:18.980] and that is that the government,
[01:22:18.980 --> 01:22:21.300] maybe it won't take everybody's jobs,
[01:22:21.300 --> 01:22:23.060] and maybe it won't collapse the economy
[01:22:23.060 --> 01:22:26.140] because maybe the AI bubble won't burst,
[01:22:26.140 --> 01:22:30.860] but we will live under a dystopian control surveillance grid
[01:22:30.860 --> 01:22:32.900] because that's what the government will use it for.
[01:22:32.900 --> 01:22:34.420] So there's a third alternative.
[01:22:34.420 --> 01:22:37.580] AI's killer use case, folks,
[01:22:37.620 --> 01:22:40.740] is surveillance and control of us.
[01:22:40.740 --> 01:22:43.300] And that's why the government is going to be so desperate
[01:22:43.300 --> 01:22:45.180] to fund it, whatever it takes.
[01:22:45.180 --> 01:22:47.460] If you wanna know why gold and silver and Bitcoin
[01:22:47.460 --> 01:22:52.420] are soaring, it's the debasement of the dollar
[01:22:52.420 --> 01:22:56.100] in order to fund the AI arms race, they said.
[01:22:56.100 --> 01:23:00.460] And of course, energy is the reality factor in all of this.
[01:23:00.460 --> 01:23:02.140] That's where it gets real.
[01:23:02.140 --> 01:23:04.340] And that's one of the reasons why Bill Gates and others
[01:23:04.380 --> 01:23:08.060] are moving back away from the climate MacGuffin.
[01:23:08.060 --> 01:23:11.380] The pandemic MacGuffin gives them all the justification
[01:23:11.380 --> 01:23:13.300] that they need, and they need to have
[01:23:13.300 --> 01:23:16.020] this surveillance control and ID,
[01:23:17.060 --> 01:23:18.380] this control grid that is there.
[01:23:18.380 --> 01:23:19.220] They need to have that,
[01:23:19.220 --> 01:23:21.260] and they need to have artificial intelligence to run that.
[01:23:21.260 --> 01:23:22.820] So they're pulling back from that
[01:23:22.820 --> 01:23:25.300] because in order to have the AI control structure,
[01:23:25.300 --> 01:23:27.940] they've got to have massive amounts of energy.
[01:23:34.900 --> 01:23:39.140] All right, and joining us now is Dr. Richard Restak, MD,
[01:23:39.140 --> 01:23:41.700] and he is a neuroscientist as well,
[01:23:41.700 --> 01:23:45.140] and he has written a lot of books on the brain.
[01:23:45.140 --> 01:23:49.660] And now this is one, kind of the nexus of our brain
[01:23:49.660 --> 01:23:51.660] and artificial intelligence.
[01:23:51.660 --> 01:23:53.860] So I wanted to get him on because we, as you know,
[01:23:53.860 --> 01:23:57.740] we talk about AI and its impact on society quite a bit.
[01:23:57.740 --> 01:23:59.580] Thank you for joining us, Dr. Restak.
[01:24:00.780 --> 01:24:02.660] Well, I'm happy to be here, thank you, David.
[01:24:02.660 --> 01:24:05.900] You've written so many books, and a bestselling author,
[01:24:05.900 --> 01:24:07.900] and of course, people can find this on Amazon.
[01:24:07.900 --> 01:24:09.900] You've written so many books.
[01:24:09.900 --> 01:24:11.260] What is different about the brain?
[01:24:11.260 --> 01:24:13.300] What is different about this one?
[01:24:13.300 --> 01:24:15.660] And why did you write this book?
[01:24:15.660 --> 01:24:20.140] I wrote this book to announce and to discuss
[01:24:20.140 --> 01:24:24.380] the dangers that are lurking, so to speak,
[01:24:24.380 --> 01:24:28.420] in the 21st century, and are unique to the 21st century,
[01:24:28.420 --> 01:24:32.100] but are having an effect on the brain and the negative one,
[01:24:32.140 --> 01:24:37.140] so that we really are in peril by eight different factors,
[01:24:37.140 --> 01:24:39.220] one of which is the global warming.
[01:24:39.220 --> 01:24:44.220] We have new diseases that are present in the 21st century
[01:24:44.620 --> 01:24:49.420] that are increasing, starting with COVID moving forward.
[01:24:49.420 --> 01:24:54.380] We have problems, of course, with the global warming,
[01:24:54.380 --> 01:24:56.100] which we'll talk about in more detail.
[01:24:56.100 --> 01:24:58.380] And then the internet, the effect of the internet,
[01:24:58.380 --> 01:25:02.700] the effect of AI, memory, the alteration,
[01:25:02.700 --> 01:25:06.540] the attempt to alter memory, almost to alter our memories
[01:25:06.540 --> 01:25:07.900] of what the past was like.
[01:25:07.900 --> 01:25:12.220] This is an ongoing enterprise by various governments
[01:25:12.220 --> 01:25:14.700] in the world, including our own.
[01:25:14.700 --> 01:25:17.980] We also have surveillance, the seventh,
[01:25:17.980 --> 01:25:19.940] the surveillance becoming increasingly
[01:25:19.940 --> 01:25:21.900] a surveillance society.
[01:25:21.900 --> 01:25:26.300] It's almost impossible to not be revealing things
[01:25:26.300 --> 01:25:29.580] about yourself because there's surveillance cameras
[01:25:29.580 --> 01:25:30.580] everywhere.
[01:25:30.580 --> 01:25:32.300] I can give you several examples of that
[01:25:32.300 --> 01:25:33.900] just in my own personal life.
[01:25:33.900 --> 01:25:37.420] And then finally, the eighth one is anxiety.
[01:25:37.420 --> 01:25:39.420] All of these things are creating
[01:25:39.420 --> 01:25:42.700] what I call an existential anxiety.
[01:25:42.700 --> 01:25:45.460] People are being given information,
[01:25:45.460 --> 01:25:49.340] but it's being molded according to the thoughts
[01:25:49.340 --> 01:25:52.300] and the inclinations of people in power.
[01:25:52.300 --> 01:25:54.100] For instance, let's take today's,
[01:25:54.100 --> 01:25:58.660] right out of today's New York Times on page A7,
[01:25:58.660 --> 01:26:00.540] there's an article called,
[01:26:00.540 --> 01:26:04.260] the air in New Delhi is life-threatening.
[01:26:04.260 --> 01:26:09.100] And it tells the tale of the New York Times reporters
[01:26:09.100 --> 01:26:11.820] who have spread themselves throughout New Delhi
[01:26:11.820 --> 01:26:14.340] from 6 a.m. until late in the evening
[01:26:14.340 --> 01:26:17.340] of a certain day recently,
[01:26:17.340 --> 01:26:21.540] and they measured the particulate matter in the air,
[01:26:21.540 --> 01:26:25.020] and it was anywhere from 10 times to 30 times
[01:26:25.020 --> 01:26:30.020] as great as would be considered minimally normal.
[01:26:30.580 --> 01:26:33.700] Now, on top of that, you have the statement
[01:26:33.700 --> 01:26:36.740] that they state that the government
[01:26:36.740 --> 01:26:41.420] is actually trying to hide this kind of insight
[01:26:41.420 --> 01:26:46.220] to the populace by spraying water and other things like that.
[01:26:46.220 --> 01:26:50.660] It says that they're doing this around the measuring stations.
[01:26:50.660 --> 01:26:54.780] They're also losing data from measuring stations
[01:26:54.780 --> 01:26:57.380] during the worst amounts of pollution.
[01:26:57.380 --> 01:27:01.660] So there you have the molding of the facts,
[01:27:01.660 --> 01:27:05.580] either denying them altogether or trying to improve them
[01:27:05.580 --> 01:27:07.820] so people say, oh, well, they measured it down
[01:27:07.820 --> 01:27:09.660] at such and such a measuring station,
[01:27:09.660 --> 01:27:11.620] and it was really not all that high.
[01:27:11.620 --> 01:27:13.780] Well, of course, they were spreading water
[01:27:13.780 --> 01:27:16.540] and other things to try to reduce this.
[01:27:16.540 --> 01:27:20.620] So we've got a capitalist society here in the United States,
[01:27:20.660 --> 01:27:25.260] which has a vested interest in pushing forward
[01:27:25.260 --> 01:27:28.220] certain scientific points of view.
[01:27:28.220 --> 01:27:31.380] So science is being put sort of in the back seat,
[01:27:31.380 --> 01:27:33.820] and there's politicians and other people,
[01:27:33.820 --> 01:27:35.980] all of whom share one thing,
[01:27:35.980 --> 01:27:40.020] capitalistic enterprises in which they're part of
[01:27:40.020 --> 01:27:42.140] or which they are advancing.
[01:27:43.660 --> 01:27:45.340] And a kind of crony capitalism
[01:27:45.340 --> 01:27:49.140] where they can get protection and subsidies as well.
[01:27:49.180 --> 01:27:52.340] And the control is being taken away from us
[01:27:52.340 --> 01:27:55.180] because, as I was just reporting earlier today,
[01:27:55.180 --> 01:27:56.820] they're working very hard to make sure
[01:27:56.820 --> 01:27:58.740] that state and local governments
[01:27:58.740 --> 01:28:02.620] can't enact any control on artificial intelligence.
[01:28:02.620 --> 01:28:04.620] And that came up in the context
[01:28:04.620 --> 01:28:08.460] of talking about how the manufacturers of tasers,
[01:28:08.460 --> 01:28:11.420] also big manufacturers of police body cams,
[01:28:11.420 --> 01:28:14.540] how they want to wed that to artificial intelligence.
[01:28:14.540 --> 01:28:17.220] And the question is, what could possibly go wrong with that
[01:28:17.260 --> 01:28:19.460] if they identify you, they misidentify you
[01:28:19.460 --> 01:28:21.340] as a dangerous criminal,
[01:28:21.340 --> 01:28:24.340] and warn the police about how dangerous you are?
[01:28:24.340 --> 01:28:25.820] They could get people killed.
[01:28:26.860 --> 01:28:30.180] Well, not only that, but all of these efforts
[01:28:30.180 --> 01:28:35.020] set up a sense of anxiety and fear.
[01:28:35.020 --> 01:28:38.460] Let me just tell you what happened to me one morning.
[01:28:38.460 --> 01:28:41.140] Called a cab to go to a medical appointment,
[01:28:41.140 --> 01:28:43.420] and we started going down the road.
[01:28:43.420 --> 01:28:44.660] I said to the driver,
[01:28:44.660 --> 01:28:46.580] you're not going the most efficient
[01:28:46.620 --> 01:28:48.220] or the quickest way.
[01:28:48.220 --> 01:28:49.460] He said, I know that.
[01:28:49.460 --> 01:28:51.460] He said, but I don't want to go that way
[01:28:51.460 --> 01:28:53.340] because there's speed cameras.
[01:28:53.340 --> 01:28:55.860] I said, well, you're driving very sensibly
[01:28:55.860 --> 01:28:58.340] and you're not speeding, and I'm in no hurry,
[01:28:58.340 --> 01:29:00.180] so what's the problem?
[01:29:00.180 --> 01:29:02.060] He said, well, they take pictures of everybody
[01:29:02.060 --> 01:29:04.100] that goes by those cameras
[01:29:04.100 --> 01:29:05.980] because they want to see who's in those photos,
[01:29:05.980 --> 01:29:07.940] in those cars.
[01:29:07.940 --> 01:29:10.260] So I asked him to give me a reference for that,
[01:29:10.260 --> 01:29:14.300] and he didn't say anything else for the rest of the trip.
[01:29:14.300 --> 01:29:16.140] So when I got down to the medical building,
[01:29:16.140 --> 01:29:17.940] I got in the elevator and said,
[01:29:17.940 --> 01:29:20.860] in this facility, there is surveillance,
[01:29:20.860 --> 01:29:23.700] both obvious and hidden.
[01:29:24.700 --> 01:29:26.180] That's the thing.
[01:29:26.180 --> 01:29:27.020] And the third-
[01:29:27.020 --> 01:29:28.860] Santa Claus was watching you now.
[01:29:28.860 --> 01:29:31.380] This is all one morning,
[01:29:31.380 --> 01:29:34.100] and then when I got up to sign in,
[01:29:34.100 --> 01:29:37.420] I signed the board with an electronic pen
[01:29:37.420 --> 01:29:39.740] and I didn't see no signature.
[01:29:39.740 --> 01:29:41.220] I said, well, it didn't take.
[01:29:41.220 --> 01:29:42.380] She said, oh, it took,
[01:29:42.380 --> 01:29:44.500] but we don't allow it to go on the screen
[01:29:44.500 --> 01:29:45.620] so it could be seen.
[01:29:45.660 --> 01:29:46.820] I said, why is that?
[01:29:46.820 --> 01:29:49.140] She said, well, somebody behind you might see the thing
[01:29:49.140 --> 01:29:53.100] and then remember it and use your signature
[01:29:53.100 --> 01:29:55.820] to forward something somewhere.
[01:29:55.820 --> 01:29:56.980] Well, first of all, there was a sign
[01:29:56.980 --> 01:29:59.700] that said stand 10 feet back,
[01:29:59.700 --> 01:30:02.100] and secondly, there's nobody else behind me.
[01:30:02.100 --> 01:30:05.340] So there's three examples just drawn at random
[01:30:05.340 --> 01:30:08.820] that were becoming an increasingly surveilled society,
[01:30:08.820 --> 01:30:12.780] which is creating a sense of paranoia and a sense of fear.
[01:30:12.820 --> 01:30:16.020] So the brain has to adjust to these type of things, Dave,
[01:30:16.020 --> 01:30:17.700] and it's very hard to do.
[01:30:18.620 --> 01:30:20.620] And I think that is calculated.
[01:30:21.700 --> 01:30:24.140] They want to do this even to the extent,
[01:30:24.140 --> 01:30:25.460] when you talk about these cameras
[01:30:25.460 --> 01:30:26.740] taking everybody's picture,
[01:30:26.740 --> 01:30:28.380] the flock network that is out there,
[01:30:28.380 --> 01:30:30.140] this corporation that is saying,
[01:30:30.140 --> 01:30:31.180] well, we can do whatever we want
[01:30:31.180 --> 01:30:33.500] because it's in public space
[01:30:33.500 --> 01:30:36.580] and we're not government
[01:30:36.580 --> 01:30:38.020] so we can collect this information,
[01:30:38.020 --> 01:30:39.620] and yet they collect it
[01:30:39.620 --> 01:30:41.420] in order to sell it to the government.
[01:30:41.420 --> 01:30:43.540] So it's just one level indirect,
[01:30:43.540 --> 01:30:46.660] but they not only grab your license plate,
[01:30:46.660 --> 01:30:50.180] but they also do a complete profile of your car
[01:30:50.180 --> 01:30:51.700] and all of its idiosyncrasies.
[01:30:51.700 --> 01:30:53.020] Does it have a dent here?
[01:30:53.020 --> 01:30:54.020] Does it have a scrape there?
[01:30:54.020 --> 01:30:55.460] What about a bumper sticker?
[01:30:55.460 --> 01:30:57.700] So it creates a model of your car.
[01:30:57.700 --> 01:31:00.740] And so they almost have biometric identification
[01:31:00.740 --> 01:31:03.540] of your cars as well as of you.
[01:31:03.540 --> 01:31:05.540] And this is now made possible
[01:31:05.540 --> 01:31:08.220] because of the advances of AI.
[01:31:08.220 --> 01:31:09.900] But this has been something
[01:31:09.900 --> 01:31:12.260] that has been concerning me.
[01:31:12.260 --> 01:31:15.260] I look at things kind of from a libertarian perspective,
[01:31:15.260 --> 01:31:17.540] and this has been concerning me for a long time.
[01:31:17.540 --> 01:31:21.340] The idea that government is using technology
[01:31:21.340 --> 01:31:23.500] many different ways, internet, social media,
[01:31:23.500 --> 01:31:25.540] things like that to monitor
[01:31:25.540 --> 01:31:28.060] and to manipulate us all the time.
[01:31:28.060 --> 01:31:30.900] And to me, artificial intelligence
[01:31:30.900 --> 01:31:32.860] just puts this on steroids.
[01:31:32.860 --> 01:31:36.700] And so I think there is something to be anxious about
[01:31:36.700 --> 01:31:38.980] if we're going to look at this.
[01:31:38.980 --> 01:31:39.980] We should be concerned about it.
[01:31:39.980 --> 01:31:42.580] Maybe not anxious, but we should be concerned
[01:31:42.580 --> 01:31:44.300] about the goals of people
[01:31:44.300 --> 01:31:47.020] who are putting this kind of stuff together.
[01:31:47.020 --> 01:31:48.260] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[01:31:48.260 --> 01:31:50.340] and I want you to pause what you're doing
[01:31:50.340 --> 01:31:51.460] for just one minute.
[01:31:51.460 --> 01:31:54.780] And I want you to hear about love, generosity,
[01:31:54.780 --> 01:31:55.740] and compassion.
[01:31:55.740 --> 01:31:57.620] We say those words all the time,
[01:31:57.620 --> 01:31:58.900] and they sound good.
[01:31:58.900 --> 01:31:59.980] They feel good.
[01:31:59.980 --> 01:32:01.460] But here's the truth.
[01:32:01.460 --> 01:32:03.460] Those words don't mean anything
[01:32:03.460 --> 01:32:05.660] unless they turn into action.
[01:32:05.780 --> 01:32:09.220] And right now, not later today, not tomorrow,
[01:32:09.220 --> 01:32:10.820] there's a child in the world
[01:32:10.820 --> 01:32:13.540] who doesn't know if they'll eat,
[01:32:13.540 --> 01:32:15.660] if they'll have a chance to learn,
[01:32:15.660 --> 01:32:17.980] or if there's any hope at all.
[01:32:17.980 --> 01:32:22.180] And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward,
[01:32:22.180 --> 01:32:23.900] but that child is waiting.
[01:32:23.900 --> 01:32:25.980] This is where you come in.
[01:32:25.980 --> 01:32:27.540] With Compassion International,
[01:32:27.540 --> 01:32:30.660] you have the chance to change a child's future,
[01:32:30.660 --> 01:32:33.380] not just with words, not with promises,
[01:32:33.420 --> 01:32:37.100] but with real help that provides food, education,
[01:32:37.100 --> 01:32:39.980] and hope through local churches
[01:32:39.980 --> 01:32:42.580] and people already in their community.
[01:32:42.580 --> 01:32:45.780] Put your words into action and join me.
[01:32:45.780 --> 01:32:49.780] Introduce a child to a loving heavenly father today
[01:32:49.780 --> 01:32:51.900] at Compassion.com.
[01:32:51.900 --> 01:32:54.980] That's Compassion.com.
[01:32:54.980 --> 01:32:55.940] What's up, baby?
[01:32:55.940 --> 01:32:58.260] It's Bretzky, and I'm here to tell you
[01:32:58.260 --> 01:33:02.340] that SpinQuest.com is giving out free sweet coins.
[01:33:02.340 --> 01:33:05.740] All you gotta do is purchase a $10 coin pack,
[01:33:05.740 --> 01:33:06.580] and guess what?
[01:33:06.580 --> 01:33:09.820] They're gonna give you the coins from a $30 coin pack.
[01:33:09.820 --> 01:33:11.500] That lets you play all your favorite games
[01:33:11.500 --> 01:33:13.820] like Blackjack, Wanted, Dead or Wild,
[01:33:13.820 --> 01:33:16.540] and we're talking real cash prizes, baby.
[01:33:16.540 --> 01:33:18.500] SpinQuest.com.
[01:33:18.500 --> 01:33:20.980] SpinQuest is a free-to-play social casino.
[01:33:20.980 --> 01:33:21.820] Voidware prohibited.
[01:33:21.820 --> 01:33:24.540] Visit SpinQuest.com for more details.
[01:33:24.540 --> 01:33:25.740] Oh, yeah.
[01:33:25.740 --> 01:33:26.580] Well, there's that,
[01:33:26.580 --> 01:33:29.780] and then if you can manage to change the present,
[01:33:29.780 --> 01:33:32.060] you can manipulate the future.
[01:33:32.900 --> 01:33:35.620] The real way to get it is to get control of past,
[01:33:35.620 --> 01:33:37.860] as Orwell pointed out.
[01:33:37.860 --> 01:33:40.180] You control the past, you know,
[01:33:40.180 --> 01:33:43.380] you can control the present by the implication,
[01:33:43.380 --> 01:33:44.540] control the future,
[01:33:44.540 --> 01:33:48.060] and we're seeing alterations of materials,
[01:33:48.060 --> 01:33:53.060] even government documents, government films, documentaries,
[01:33:53.060 --> 01:33:55.180] things like that are being altered
[01:33:55.180 --> 01:33:58.740] in ways that are not visible,
[01:33:58.740 --> 01:34:00.300] I should say detectable,
[01:34:00.460 --> 01:34:02.540] not detectable to the ordinary person.
[01:34:02.540 --> 01:34:05.980] So they get ideas about what the past was like,
[01:34:05.980 --> 01:34:07.540] which are wrong,
[01:34:07.540 --> 01:34:10.460] and don't show you,
[01:34:10.460 --> 01:34:11.620] as I mentioned in the book,
[01:34:11.620 --> 01:34:15.220] if you were at a dance in 1850
[01:34:15.220 --> 01:34:18.300] before the Civil War,
[01:34:18.300 --> 01:34:20.340] and it's a film we're watching,
[01:34:20.340 --> 01:34:23.820] let's just say we're watching a film about 1850,
[01:34:23.820 --> 01:34:25.940] and we're seeing people ballroom dancing, all that,
[01:34:25.940 --> 01:34:27.860] and then one of them pulls to the side
[01:34:27.860 --> 01:34:29.580] and pulls out a cell phone,
[01:34:30.260 --> 01:34:31.380] and you say, wait a minute,
[01:34:31.380 --> 01:34:33.100] we didn't have cell phones then.
[01:34:33.100 --> 01:34:33.940] Well, you know,
[01:34:33.940 --> 01:34:37.980] there were a lot of things that were going on now
[01:34:37.980 --> 01:34:40.420] that were not going on in the past,
[01:34:40.420 --> 01:34:42.020] and it's not to our advantage
[01:34:42.020 --> 01:34:45.500] to try to pretend that they were, they weren't.
[01:34:45.500 --> 01:34:48.620] We have to understand the past, understand the future,
[01:34:48.620 --> 01:34:53.620] and we're not only creating situations that are false,
[01:34:54.380 --> 01:34:58.140] but we're also, like in 1984,
[01:34:58.140 --> 01:35:02.780] Orwell created a character called Commander Ogilvy.
[01:35:02.780 --> 01:35:04.300] He was a war hero.
[01:35:04.300 --> 01:35:06.820] He got all sorts of medals,
[01:35:06.820 --> 01:35:08.900] and it was all the proletarians
[01:35:08.900 --> 01:35:11.820] that were all told to honor him and so forth.
[01:35:11.820 --> 01:35:13.140] Well, he never existed.
[01:35:14.140 --> 01:35:16.900] He actually was made up entirely,
[01:35:16.900 --> 01:35:17.900] and that's one of the things
[01:35:17.900 --> 01:35:21.420] that the narrator is doing in the job at work,
[01:35:21.420 --> 01:35:24.020] is filling in photographs
[01:35:24.020 --> 01:35:27.940] of secreting Ogilvy into historical events
[01:35:28.780 --> 01:35:30.980] that happened, wartime scenarios, et cetera.
[01:35:30.980 --> 01:35:34.500] And while reading it, we'll say, wow, this is some man.
[01:35:34.500 --> 01:35:36.780] Well, he was a complete fabrication.
[01:35:36.780 --> 01:35:38.820] We're just about at that point,
[01:35:38.820 --> 01:35:42.540] with Sora out, the AI out.
[01:35:42.540 --> 01:35:45.540] Well, it could take you and had you, you know,
[01:35:45.540 --> 01:35:47.620] to say, let's get David Knight
[01:35:47.620 --> 01:35:50.660] and have him leading some sort of a parade or whatever,
[01:35:50.660 --> 01:35:52.260] and you know, suddenly people say,
[01:35:52.260 --> 01:35:54.860] well, gosh, I saw him with my own eyes.
[01:35:54.900 --> 01:35:59.380] So what's happening is that the actual seeing is believing
[01:35:59.380 --> 01:36:00.740] is being turned on its head.
[01:36:00.740 --> 01:36:02.900] So that's no longer true.
[01:36:02.900 --> 01:36:04.940] You're talking about a completely fabricated character
[01:36:04.940 --> 01:36:06.700] out of Orwell.
[01:36:06.700 --> 01:36:08.780] It's just recently they had Tilly Norwood,
[01:36:08.780 --> 01:36:11.420] who is a completely fabricated AI personality.
[01:36:11.420 --> 01:36:13.100] And the person who came up with it
[01:36:13.100 --> 01:36:15.780] has got agents representing her.
[01:36:15.780 --> 01:36:18.340] They got her out there as an actress.
[01:36:18.340 --> 01:36:19.180] Yeah.
[01:36:19.180 --> 01:36:21.820] I mean, it's like, so I've created an AI actress,
[01:36:21.820 --> 01:36:24.540] which will do a lot of different roles for you.
[01:36:25.220 --> 01:36:27.260] She probably does her own stunts as well, I imagine.
[01:36:27.260 --> 01:36:29.580] People in SAG, the Screen Actors Guild,
[01:36:29.580 --> 01:36:31.260] and they're furious about this.
[01:36:31.260 --> 01:36:35.340] And I said, any agent that represents this AI character
[01:36:35.340 --> 01:36:37.220] is not gonna do any business with us.
[01:36:37.220 --> 01:36:39.260] But we're already at that point.
[01:36:39.260 --> 01:36:40.700] It truly is interesting.
[01:36:42.100 --> 01:36:43.700] And one of the ways of neutralizing it
[01:36:43.700 --> 01:36:46.180] is to create the situation that exists right now
[01:36:46.180 --> 01:36:47.420] between you and me.
[01:36:47.420 --> 01:36:49.100] You're laughing and I'm laughing
[01:36:49.100 --> 01:36:51.540] because it seems funny, and it is funny,
[01:36:51.540 --> 01:36:54.700] but it's a very serious purpose behind all this.
[01:36:54.700 --> 01:36:59.460] It's all about trying to alter people's perceptions
[01:36:59.460 --> 01:37:02.220] so that they begin to doubt the veredity
[01:37:02.220 --> 01:37:03.860] of what they're seeing.
[01:37:03.860 --> 01:37:04.700] That's right.
[01:37:04.700 --> 01:37:06.660] Yes, and I've talked for the longest time
[01:37:06.660 --> 01:37:09.220] about how the whole idea for the internet
[01:37:09.220 --> 01:37:11.020] was created by DARPA psychologists.
[01:37:11.020 --> 01:37:13.300] And I've been concerned that it was all about
[01:37:13.300 --> 01:37:15.500] psychological manipulation from the get-go
[01:37:15.500 --> 01:37:16.340] with all of this.
[01:37:16.340 --> 01:37:21.340] But as a physician and as a neuroscientist,
[01:37:21.740 --> 01:37:23.460] I'd be interested in your take on
[01:37:23.460 --> 01:37:24.540] what is currently going on.
[01:37:24.540 --> 01:37:26.900] Because besides manipulating the past
[01:37:26.900 --> 01:37:28.860] by changing information about the past
[01:37:28.860 --> 01:37:31.020] or memory-holing it or writing
[01:37:31.020 --> 01:37:33.500] a new alternative history of it,
[01:37:33.500 --> 01:37:34.740] they are also concerned,
[01:37:34.740 --> 01:37:38.220] and there's been projects that have been put out by DARPA.
[01:37:38.220 --> 01:37:40.180] And I don't know if they've been successful or not,
[01:37:40.180 --> 01:37:41.860] but they're putting out requests for people
[01:37:41.860 --> 01:37:45.700] to come up with things to manipulate people's memories.
[01:37:45.700 --> 01:37:47.860] So you've got a soldier, they say,
[01:37:47.860 --> 01:37:50.300] who's got bad PTSD.
[01:37:50.300 --> 01:37:52.020] Let's get rid of that memory.
[01:37:52.020 --> 01:37:54.460] Let's give them different memories.
[01:37:54.460 --> 01:37:56.340] What do you see in terms of someone
[01:37:56.340 --> 01:37:58.700] who studies the brain and neuroscience?
[01:37:58.700 --> 01:37:59.940] What do you see about that?
[01:37:59.940 --> 01:38:04.700] What do you think is the state of the art with that?
[01:38:04.700 --> 01:38:05.940] Well, my last book was called
[01:38:05.940 --> 01:38:07.140] The Complete Book of Memory.
[01:38:07.140 --> 01:38:08.180] It had to do with memory.
[01:38:08.180 --> 01:38:11.020] I studied memory in great detail.
[01:38:11.020 --> 01:38:13.180] And of course, you have to do away
[01:38:13.180 --> 01:38:17.140] with the concept that memory is like a video tape
[01:38:17.140 --> 01:38:19.100] or something that you just store in your brain
[01:38:19.500 --> 01:38:22.060] when you want to get it, you just bring it out,
[01:38:22.060 --> 01:38:23.980] like you bring out a video tape.
[01:38:23.980 --> 01:38:25.060] It's not like that.
[01:38:25.060 --> 01:38:26.740] It's a reconstruction.
[01:38:26.740 --> 01:38:30.540] Each time you think back to a certain event,
[01:38:30.540 --> 01:38:34.420] you alter that memory so that you have memory one,
[01:38:34.420 --> 01:38:37.700] memory two, memory three, on and on and on.
[01:38:37.700 --> 01:38:40.140] That's the nature of memory.
[01:38:40.140 --> 01:38:42.380] And memory can be manipulated.
[01:38:42.380 --> 01:38:45.100] It's always, like in the courtroom,
[01:38:45.100 --> 01:38:47.540] they're always trying to avoid the contamination
[01:38:47.540 --> 01:38:48.820] of the witness.
[01:38:48.820 --> 01:38:49.980] An example of that would be,
[01:38:49.980 --> 01:38:52.860] well, which car went through the red light?
[01:38:53.780 --> 01:38:56.060] And to ask a witness.
[01:38:56.060 --> 01:38:59.500] He said, oh, it was a red car went through the red light.
[01:38:59.500 --> 01:39:01.060] Well, wouldn't it surprise you to know
[01:39:01.060 --> 01:39:02.220] that it wasn't a red light,
[01:39:02.220 --> 01:39:06.020] but it was a stop sign, Mr. Witness?
[01:39:06.020 --> 01:39:08.500] Of course, his credibility is gone
[01:39:08.500 --> 01:39:12.500] because he took the suggestion that it was a red light,
[01:39:12.500 --> 01:39:15.020] instead of, and it would be very easy to do
[01:39:15.020 --> 01:39:17.540] because you don't necessarily have that image
[01:39:17.540 --> 01:39:19.900] of that intersection in your mind.
[01:39:19.900 --> 01:39:22.860] So that's why there's protections, even in the courtroom,
[01:39:22.860 --> 01:39:26.140] against leading the witness, they call it.
[01:39:26.140 --> 01:39:28.020] In other words, providing information
[01:39:28.020 --> 01:39:31.700] that's either not true at all or half true.
[01:39:31.700 --> 01:39:36.700] So we've got that, this didn't start in the 21st century.
[01:39:36.740 --> 01:39:40.100] That started as long as we've had courtrooms.
[01:39:40.100 --> 01:39:44.100] This is more an emphasis on altering memory
[01:39:44.300 --> 01:39:46.140] because the people will get up there
[01:39:46.140 --> 01:39:48.660] and under cross-examination, they'll do pretty well
[01:39:48.660 --> 01:39:50.540] because their whole memory has been altered.
[01:39:50.540 --> 01:39:53.420] They've changed it by various mechanisms,
[01:39:53.420 --> 01:39:57.380] suggestion, repeating the information, which is false,
[01:39:57.380 --> 01:39:59.820] of course, which is the misinformation.
[01:39:59.820 --> 01:40:04.300] There's a cartoon about a week ago by Ramirez
[01:40:04.300 --> 01:40:07.980] in which he spoke to prize winner.
[01:40:07.980 --> 01:40:11.860] He has three doctors in an operating room,
[01:40:11.860 --> 01:40:13.420] in a laboratory.
[01:40:13.420 --> 01:40:15.820] One of them is looking into a microscope
[01:40:15.820 --> 01:40:17.380] and he looks up and he says,
[01:40:17.380 --> 01:40:21.620] this is the most dangerous pathogen we have ever encountered.
[01:40:21.620 --> 01:40:24.700] And the second doctor says, well, is it bubonic plague?
[01:40:24.700 --> 01:40:26.540] Is it smallpox?
[01:40:26.540 --> 01:40:28.500] And then the one that he says, no,
[01:40:28.500 --> 01:40:31.340] it's misinformation and disinformation.
[01:40:33.340 --> 01:40:34.420] That's right.
[01:40:34.420 --> 01:40:38.060] And we gotta be very careful because many times
[01:40:38.060 --> 01:40:40.300] the people who will tell us about that
[01:40:40.300 --> 01:40:42.860] are the people who want to be the ones who define
[01:40:42.860 --> 01:40:45.580] what the information is for us.
[01:40:45.580 --> 01:40:47.020] And they will ask those leading questions.
[01:40:47.020 --> 01:40:48.860] You know, when we're talking about leading questions
[01:40:48.860 --> 01:40:50.460] and manipulating people,
[01:40:50.460 --> 01:40:51.980] there's been a lot of reports
[01:40:51.980 --> 01:40:54.900] about artificial intelligence,
[01:40:54.900 --> 01:40:59.900] kind of people who have particular psychosis or something
[01:41:00.180 --> 01:41:03.140] and they get involved with the AI
[01:41:03.140 --> 01:41:05.820] and it starts to confirm the things that they want
[01:41:05.820 --> 01:41:08.460] because that's what it is set up to do in terms of bias
[01:41:08.460 --> 01:41:12.300] that wanna be empathetic and sympathetic to people.
[01:41:12.300 --> 01:41:14.740] And so it starts doing that and leading them
[01:41:14.740 --> 01:41:17.060] further and further down a particular rabbit hole.
[01:41:17.060 --> 01:41:19.660] There's been situations of, you know,
[01:41:19.660 --> 01:41:21.780] people who got into severe mental distress,
[01:41:21.780 --> 01:41:24.100] some suicides of some young children
[01:41:24.100 --> 01:41:25.580] and other things like that.
[01:41:25.580 --> 01:41:28.900] Speak to that aspect of it and the real danger of that.
[01:41:28.900 --> 01:41:33.900] That is really kind of, I think speaks to the psychological
[01:41:34.100 --> 01:41:36.580] aspect and potential of artificial intelligence.
[01:41:36.580 --> 01:41:37.940] And that could be weaponized.
[01:41:37.940 --> 01:41:40.260] Right now it's just kind of happening
[01:41:40.260 --> 01:41:41.980] out of their business model, right?
[01:41:42.660 --> 01:41:45.220] But that could definitely be weaponized against people.
[01:41:45.220 --> 01:41:46.700] Well, I talk about that in my book
[01:41:46.700 --> 01:41:48.380] in the chapter on the internet.
[01:41:48.380 --> 01:41:51.460] There's famous examples of people who have
[01:41:51.460 --> 01:41:56.460] suicided right on the internet, live feed,
[01:41:57.940 --> 01:41:59.980] and they've been manipulated to doing that
[01:41:59.980 --> 01:42:03.980] by other people who've encouraged them,
[01:42:03.980 --> 01:42:05.700] said this would be a sign of strength,
[01:42:05.700 --> 01:42:10.300] this would be a sign that you're not afraid to die
[01:42:10.300 --> 01:42:11.660] if necessary.
[01:42:12.340 --> 01:42:15.660] And there's cases of it that actually led to the suicide.
[01:42:15.660 --> 01:42:18.740] One of them is the most grisly I have in my book
[01:42:18.740 --> 01:42:21.980] about a person who was talked into pouring gasoline
[01:42:21.980 --> 01:42:23.980] over themselves and setting a match,
[01:42:23.980 --> 01:42:27.460] all on open feed, internet,
[01:42:27.460 --> 01:42:30.460] and while this fire is burning, you can hear.
[01:42:30.460 --> 01:42:33.060] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you to pause
[01:42:33.060 --> 01:42:34.900] what you're doing for just one minute
[01:42:34.900 --> 01:42:37.700] and I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:42:37.700 --> 01:42:41.140] She lives in a remote community with very few resources
[01:42:41.140 --> 01:42:43.620] and little to no healthcare.
[01:42:43.620 --> 01:42:45.620] So when Alejandra gets sick,
[01:42:45.620 --> 01:42:47.740] her parents have no real options,
[01:42:47.740 --> 01:42:49.980] no doctors in their community,
[01:42:49.980 --> 01:42:53.380] and no money for real medical care.
[01:42:53.380 --> 01:42:56.100] By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:42:56.100 --> 01:42:59.420] She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:42:59.420 --> 01:43:04.020] I can't take the pain anymore, I can't keep going.
[01:43:04.020 --> 01:43:06.780] Her parents drove hours to find a doctor
[01:43:06.780 --> 01:43:10.460] who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital,
[01:43:10.500 --> 01:43:13.980] and that was impossible for her family to afford,
[01:43:13.980 --> 01:43:17.940] and that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:43:17.940 --> 01:43:21.180] Now through Compassion, Alejandra was treated,
[01:43:21.180 --> 01:43:24.220] and against all odds, she survived.
[01:43:24.220 --> 01:43:28.180] She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:43:28.180 --> 01:43:30.460] Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[01:43:30.460 --> 01:43:33.300] just like Alejandra who won't survive
[01:43:33.300 --> 01:43:35.860] unless someone like you steps in.
[01:43:35.860 --> 01:43:39.620] Compassion International partners with local churches,
[01:43:39.660 --> 01:43:42.660] providing children with the support that they need,
[01:43:42.660 --> 01:43:46.700] critical medical care, plus food, education,
[01:43:46.700 --> 01:43:50.780] and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name.
[01:43:50.780 --> 01:43:54.540] So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[01:44:30.300 --> 01:44:33.300] Everybody in the background's cheering.
[01:44:33.300 --> 01:44:36.020] We did it, we did it, we got him to do it.
[01:44:36.020 --> 01:44:37.860] Wow, that's amazing.
[01:44:39.020 --> 01:44:39.860] That's amazing.
[01:44:39.860 --> 01:44:41.460] So there's something about the internet
[01:44:41.460 --> 01:44:46.460] and about, that actually brings out sadistic,
[01:44:47.260 --> 01:44:51.300] criminal, psychopathic trends, and we don't know why.
[01:44:51.300 --> 01:44:53.580] Is it the fact that you don't necessarily
[01:44:53.580 --> 01:44:55.420] can't be identified?
[01:44:55.420 --> 01:44:57.420] It's something that is gonna be influencing,
[01:44:57.420 --> 01:44:59.780] it has influenced the internet greatly,
[01:44:59.780 --> 01:45:03.700] and it will continue to do so until we understand it.
[01:45:04.620 --> 01:45:06.380] I think that's one of the things that's so dangerous
[01:45:06.380 --> 01:45:08.460] about the things that we saw with lockdown
[01:45:09.220 --> 01:45:10.060] and other aspects of it.
[01:45:10.060 --> 01:45:12.060] There's an atomization here.
[01:45:12.060 --> 01:45:14.620] And so many different ways the government
[01:45:14.620 --> 01:45:18.540] and tech companies are trying to make sure
[01:45:18.540 --> 01:45:22.100] that we're not in person with each other.
[01:45:22.100 --> 01:45:24.660] Many cases, like for example, in this interview,
[01:45:24.660 --> 01:45:26.220] we couldn't do this interview if we both had,
[01:45:26.220 --> 01:45:28.740] if one of, both of us had to travel.
[01:45:28.740 --> 01:45:30.460] We're able to do this because we can do it
[01:45:30.460 --> 01:45:35.460] over Zoom or whatever, but just taking ordinary things
[01:45:35.980 --> 01:45:39.300] that you would normally do in terms of interacting
[01:45:39.300 --> 01:45:41.980] with people in school or in church
[01:45:41.980 --> 01:45:43.580] or in your community or whatever,
[01:45:43.580 --> 01:45:45.460] taking that away and putting a screen
[01:45:45.460 --> 01:45:47.100] between the two of you, it really does change
[01:45:47.100 --> 01:45:48.780] the way people interact with each other.
[01:45:48.780 --> 01:45:51.060] I remember Errol Morris, the film director,
[01:45:51.060 --> 01:45:54.500] was able to get people to say all kinds of things to him.
[01:45:54.500 --> 01:45:55.940] He got a murderer to confess.
[01:45:55.940 --> 01:46:00.940] He got Robert McNamara to confess
[01:46:00.980 --> 01:46:02.780] about the false flag of the Vietnam War.
[01:46:02.780 --> 01:46:04.580] He got people to say all kinds of stuff
[01:46:04.620 --> 01:46:06.940] because there was that distance between him and them.
[01:46:06.940 --> 01:46:09.140] He could have interviewed them in person,
[01:46:09.140 --> 01:46:11.420] but what he did was he put an interrotron,
[01:46:11.420 --> 01:46:12.820] which is what he called it.
[01:46:12.820 --> 01:46:15.980] It was basically a teleprompter that he had set up
[01:46:15.980 --> 01:46:18.100] so he could do two-way communication at the time.
[01:46:18.100 --> 01:46:20.420] And once he had that distance there,
[01:46:20.420 --> 01:46:23.580] then it completely changed the dynamics
[01:46:23.580 --> 01:46:27.180] that he would have versus with somebody person to person.
[01:46:27.180 --> 01:46:29.700] And that's what we're talking about here, isn't it?
[01:46:29.700 --> 01:46:30.820] Yeah, we're talking about that.
[01:46:30.820 --> 01:46:33.140] And of course, there's the integrations of this
[01:46:33.180 --> 01:46:34.380] and it continues.
[01:46:34.380 --> 01:46:36.420] Like you're interviewing me.
[01:46:36.420 --> 01:46:37.260] We're discussing.
[01:46:37.260 --> 01:46:39.220] I feel like it's a discussion.
[01:46:39.220 --> 01:46:42.500] If I were to say something that later I regretted,
[01:46:42.500 --> 01:46:44.220] I could probably say, oh, well, that wasn't me.
[01:46:44.220 --> 01:46:45.500] That was my avatar.
[01:46:47.860 --> 01:46:49.260] Or my agent, right?
[01:46:49.260 --> 01:46:50.100] Yeah.
[01:46:50.100 --> 01:46:52.380] I got an AI agent that's out there doing stuff.
[01:46:52.380 --> 01:46:53.220] Autonomous assist.
[01:46:55.220 --> 01:46:56.460] That's right, it's crazy.
[01:46:56.460 --> 01:46:58.580] We also see, though, as a doctor,
[01:46:58.580 --> 01:47:02.700] you're seeing people have noticed actual physical changes
[01:47:02.700 --> 01:47:04.980] that can be observed in people's brains.
[01:47:04.980 --> 01:47:07.460] I'm thinking of the story about the London taxi drivers
[01:47:07.460 --> 01:47:08.940] who would do the knowledge.
[01:47:08.940 --> 01:47:12.020] And they would find that after they memorized
[01:47:12.020 --> 01:47:16.740] all these factual details and drew on that all the time
[01:47:16.740 --> 01:47:20.660] in order to take people to this very complicated city
[01:47:20.660 --> 01:47:22.220] with its complicated streets,
[01:47:22.220 --> 01:47:23.580] that they had a particular part of their brain
[01:47:23.580 --> 01:47:26.860] that was larger than the typical person.
[01:47:26.860 --> 01:47:29.820] And then they found that once they stopped doing that,
[01:47:29.820 --> 01:47:30.820] it started to shrink again.
[01:47:30.820 --> 01:47:33.940] We're starting to see that happening with people
[01:47:33.940 --> 01:47:35.460] in a lot of different areas of their life,
[01:47:35.460 --> 01:47:36.940] that kind of atrophy.
[01:47:36.940 --> 01:47:39.060] And it's physically observable, isn't it?
[01:47:39.980 --> 01:47:40.820] Well, it is.
[01:47:40.820 --> 01:47:43.700] You have to learn, you have to use the things
[01:47:43.700 --> 01:47:45.740] that you have learned to do.
[01:47:45.740 --> 01:47:47.100] Like I mentioned in my memory book,
[01:47:47.100 --> 01:47:50.140] there's all kinds of memory exercises that you could do.
[01:47:50.140 --> 01:47:51.540] I do them every day.
[01:47:51.540 --> 01:47:52.860] And they're very easy,
[01:47:52.860 --> 01:47:57.180] and they help you to continue with your memory,
[01:47:57.180 --> 01:47:58.700] and to keep it sharp.
[01:47:58.700 --> 01:47:59.700] Give us some examples.
[01:47:59.700 --> 01:48:01.380] I'm sure everybody would love to know that.
[01:48:01.380 --> 01:48:02.660] We'd all like to have a better memory.
[01:48:02.660 --> 01:48:05.740] What kind of things can we do to exercise our memory?
[01:48:05.740 --> 01:48:06.820] Well, think about the fact
[01:48:06.820 --> 01:48:09.660] that you never had to learn pictures.
[01:48:09.660 --> 01:48:12.580] When you were an infant and a young child,
[01:48:13.460 --> 01:48:15.860] a picture was something that you could,
[01:48:15.860 --> 01:48:17.300] may not know what you're looking at,
[01:48:17.300 --> 01:48:20.060] but you could see it without an intermediary.
[01:48:20.060 --> 01:48:21.420] Whereas language is something
[01:48:21.420 --> 01:48:24.140] that you have to hear from other people.
[01:48:24.140 --> 01:48:28.460] It's something that's sort of added on to the brain, okay?
[01:48:28.460 --> 01:48:29.620] So as a result,
[01:48:29.620 --> 01:48:33.940] the most best way of remembering something
[01:48:33.940 --> 01:48:38.940] is to make a image for it, okay?
[01:48:39.700 --> 01:48:43.660] For instance, I have a little dog called a Skipperkey.
[01:48:43.660 --> 01:48:46.460] Skipperkey is a Belgian dog.
[01:48:46.460 --> 01:48:48.540] He's a nice little fellow.
[01:48:48.540 --> 01:48:50.620] But it was embarrassing to me when walking the street,
[01:48:50.620 --> 01:48:52.580] people say, what kind of a dog is that?
[01:48:52.580 --> 01:48:54.380] And I couldn't come up with a name
[01:48:54.380 --> 01:48:56.820] because it was such a complicated,
[01:48:56.820 --> 01:48:58.060] and I thought, that's Skipperkey.
[01:48:58.060 --> 01:49:00.620] I didn't speak any Dutch or anything.
[01:49:00.620 --> 01:49:03.420] So then I got this image of a small boat
[01:49:03.420 --> 01:49:08.380] with a large captain with a beard holding a big key.
[01:49:08.380 --> 01:49:12.060] So it was Skipperkey, and I remember forever.
[01:49:12.060 --> 01:49:13.420] So I was gonna have the picture.
[01:49:13.420 --> 01:49:15.700] Once I have the picture, it's easy to do.
[01:49:17.020 --> 01:49:18.660] Another way, easy way to do it,
[01:49:18.660 --> 01:49:21.380] and you can do that with all kinds of times, all the time.
[01:49:21.380 --> 01:49:25.500] I was going upstairs before I came down to the office
[01:49:25.500 --> 01:49:27.700] and I wanted to get my wallet,
[01:49:27.740 --> 01:49:30.460] and I wanted to get my cell phone.
[01:49:30.460 --> 01:49:33.620] So I just had an image of a wallet
[01:49:33.620 --> 01:49:34.940] in the form of a cell phone,
[01:49:34.940 --> 01:49:36.340] and I was walking up the stairs
[01:49:36.340 --> 01:49:39.500] talking into the wallet cell phone.
[01:49:39.500 --> 01:49:42.380] So I got up, and I knew I had these two elements to get.
[01:49:42.380 --> 01:49:44.980] It'd be very easy to get one and forget the other.
[01:49:44.980 --> 01:49:47.900] So you have these images all the time.
[01:49:47.900 --> 01:49:51.180] And the quickest, this is sort of off the topic of the book,
[01:49:51.180 --> 01:49:56.180] but if you wanna have a firepower memory
[01:49:56.260 --> 01:50:01.260] for a load of things, that's up to 10 things,
[01:50:01.900 --> 01:50:04.780] and get 10 areas that you are familiar with,
[01:50:04.780 --> 01:50:07.100] that you see every day,
[01:50:07.100 --> 01:50:11.500] and then you can put on those images
[01:50:11.500 --> 01:50:13.620] the thing you're trying to remember.
[01:50:13.620 --> 01:50:18.140] So if I'm trying to remember a loaf of bread, milk,
[01:50:21.140 --> 01:50:25.060] maybe batteries, I have a regular way of doing that.
[01:50:25.580 --> 01:50:29.500] I remember the library that's near my home,
[01:50:29.500 --> 01:50:33.300] the coffee shop, liquor store,
[01:50:33.300 --> 01:50:36.300] Georgetown University Medical School where I went,
[01:50:36.300 --> 01:50:39.980] Georgetown University, Cafe Milano,
[01:50:39.980 --> 01:50:43.620] which is a place in Washington everybody gathers,
[01:50:43.620 --> 01:50:48.620] and then Keybridge, Iwo Jima Memorial, and Reagan Airport.
[01:50:50.860 --> 01:50:53.700] So that bread would be, for instance, the loaf of bread.
[01:50:53.700 --> 01:50:55.340] I would look in the window of the library
[01:50:55.340 --> 01:50:59.380] instead of seeing books, I'd see bread, loaves of bread.
[01:50:59.380 --> 01:51:02.060] And when I get down to the liquor store,
[01:51:02.060 --> 01:51:04.140] instead of it being filled with liquor,
[01:51:04.140 --> 01:51:05.300] there'd all be milk bottles.
[01:51:05.300 --> 01:51:06.980] So that's how I got to get to it.
[01:51:06.980 --> 01:51:09.780] So I have those 10, so I can get 10 items together
[01:51:09.780 --> 01:51:12.860] without any problems at all.
[01:51:12.860 --> 01:51:13.700] That's great.
[01:51:13.700 --> 01:51:15.540] Yeah, it's interesting you talk about
[01:51:15.540 --> 01:51:18.540] the importance of a visualization.
[01:51:18.540 --> 01:51:20.140] It's one of the things that I do
[01:51:21.180 --> 01:51:22.380] in terms of preparing for the show.
[01:51:22.380 --> 01:51:24.580] I have a lot of articles that I go through.
[01:51:24.580 --> 01:51:27.300] And it's really when I highlight things
[01:51:27.300 --> 01:51:29.740] or when I write them down, that's when I can remember them.
[01:51:29.740 --> 01:51:31.740] If I don't do that, if I were just to read these things,
[01:51:31.740 --> 01:51:33.020] I wouldn't remember them.
[01:51:33.020 --> 01:51:35.500] But if I interact with it and write it down,
[01:51:35.500 --> 01:51:37.220] that helps me to remember it.
[01:51:37.220 --> 01:51:40.020] That is a kind of visualization there, I guess, as well.
[01:51:42.100 --> 01:51:42.940] It truly is interesting.
[01:51:42.940 --> 01:51:44.660] And what you said earlier about memory
[01:51:44.660 --> 01:51:46.580] not being something that is stored in a place
[01:51:46.580 --> 01:51:50.340] as somebody coming from a computer science background,
[01:51:50.340 --> 01:51:51.700] that was a very different thing.
[01:51:51.700 --> 01:51:54.700] When you construct your memory,
[01:51:54.700 --> 01:51:55.980] how do you reconstruct that?
[01:51:55.980 --> 01:52:00.980] I mean, that opens up a whole new area of questions as well.
[01:52:01.020 --> 01:52:03.900] In other words, if every time somebody brings up a subject,
[01:52:03.900 --> 01:52:07.500] I mean, there isn't something that's stored initially
[01:52:07.500 --> 01:52:09.780] to reference that and then rebuild from that?
[01:52:10.980 --> 01:52:11.820] Yeah, there's that.
[01:52:11.820 --> 01:52:14.500] Plus, there's the interconnections.
[01:52:14.500 --> 01:52:16.420] Somebody listening to us might say,
[01:52:16.420 --> 01:52:19.100] well, gee, this is called the 21st century of brain,
[01:52:19.100 --> 01:52:20.780] but I haven't heard that much about the brain.
[01:52:20.860 --> 01:52:23.980] Let me just link that up so that these things make sense.
[01:52:24.980 --> 01:52:27.220] We have a new version, or I should say,
[01:52:27.220 --> 01:52:28.580] a new understanding of the brain
[01:52:28.580 --> 01:52:30.780] called the connectomic brain,
[01:52:30.780 --> 01:52:35.180] in which there's all kinds of interactions in the brain
[01:52:35.180 --> 01:52:37.660] of parts of the brain which you don't,
[01:52:37.660 --> 01:52:39.580] we're just learning about.
[01:52:39.580 --> 01:52:43.180] I have the, I use the metaphor of a bowl of spaghetti.
[01:52:43.180 --> 01:52:46.460] You pull out one of the strains of spaghetti
[01:52:46.460 --> 01:52:48.940] and you never have any idea what it's connected to,
[01:52:48.940 --> 01:52:53.420] how many other strains of spaghetti this is connected to.
[01:52:53.420 --> 01:52:54.980] So that's, if you think of the brain
[01:52:54.980 --> 01:52:59.980] as being kind of set to make connections,
[01:53:00.260 --> 01:53:03.060] that's its natural processing.
[01:53:03.060 --> 01:53:04.420] So it gets back to these things
[01:53:04.420 --> 01:53:06.660] that we were talking about earlier,
[01:53:06.660 --> 01:53:10.900] global warming and memory and surveillance and all that.
[01:53:10.900 --> 01:53:12.460] How are we gonna solve all those?
[01:53:12.460 --> 01:53:14.140] Well, somehow or other,
[01:53:14.140 --> 01:53:18.660] those things are connected with each other.
[01:53:18.660 --> 01:53:21.380] That's the take home message to this book.
[01:53:21.380 --> 01:53:25.580] And the basic goal is to try to figure out
[01:53:25.580 --> 01:53:28.300] what it is that connects these things,
[01:53:28.300 --> 01:53:30.420] what it is that would allow us to,
[01:53:31.780 --> 01:53:36.220] by solving one of them, solve the other.
[01:53:36.220 --> 01:53:37.460] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[01:53:37.460 --> 01:53:39.540] and I want you to pause what you're doing
[01:53:39.540 --> 01:53:40.660] for just one minute,
[01:53:40.660 --> 01:53:43.460] and I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:53:43.460 --> 01:53:46.940] She lives in a remote community with very few resources
[01:53:46.940 --> 01:53:49.460] and little to no healthcare.
[01:53:49.460 --> 01:53:51.460] So when Alejandra gets sick,
[01:53:51.460 --> 01:53:53.580] her parents have no real options,
[01:53:53.580 --> 01:53:55.780] no doctors in their community,
[01:53:55.780 --> 01:53:59.220] and no money for real medical care.
[01:53:59.220 --> 01:54:01.940] By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:54:01.940 --> 01:54:05.220] She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:54:05.220 --> 01:54:08.060] I can't take the pain anymore.
[01:54:08.060 --> 01:54:09.860] I can't keep going.
[01:54:09.860 --> 01:54:12.620] Her parents drove hours to find a doctor
[01:54:12.620 --> 01:54:14.180] who tried everything,
[01:54:14.180 --> 01:54:16.300] but she needed a private hospital.
[01:54:16.540 --> 01:54:19.860] And that was impossible for her family to afford.
[01:54:19.860 --> 01:54:23.820] And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:54:23.820 --> 01:54:27.060] Now through Compassion, Alejandra was treated,
[01:54:27.060 --> 01:54:30.100] and against all odds, she survived.
[01:54:30.100 --> 01:54:34.100] She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:54:34.100 --> 01:54:36.340] Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[01:54:36.340 --> 01:54:39.180] just like Alejandra who won't survive
[01:54:39.180 --> 01:54:41.740] unless someone like you steps in.
[01:54:41.740 --> 01:54:45.500] Compassion International partners with local churches,
[01:54:45.500 --> 01:54:48.500] providing children with the support that they need,
[01:54:48.500 --> 01:54:52.540] critical medical care, plus food, education,
[01:54:52.540 --> 01:54:56.620] and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name.
[01:54:56.620 --> 01:55:00.380] So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[01:55:36.260 --> 01:55:39.500] And I mentioned at the end of the book,
[01:55:39.540 --> 01:55:42.020] experts so far haven't done it.
[01:55:42.020 --> 01:55:45.060] So it's useful, as Hayek said,
[01:55:45.060 --> 01:55:47.660] to get ordinary people to give,
[01:55:47.660 --> 01:55:51.180] when I say ordinary, I mean non-specialized people,
[01:55:51.180 --> 01:55:52.540] to give their ideas.
[01:55:52.540 --> 01:55:55.700] Gee, I wonder what such and such would happen.
[01:55:55.700 --> 01:55:57.060] What would happen about global warming?
[01:55:57.060 --> 01:55:58.260] For a while there was, in fact,
[01:55:58.260 --> 01:56:02.260] there's still experiments going on on the effect of sulfur
[01:56:02.260 --> 01:56:06.300] that would help the CO2 problem.
[01:56:07.300 --> 01:56:11.580] And shooting sulfur up into the atmosphere.
[01:56:11.580 --> 01:56:16.260] Of course, the reason for that was the volcano in 1980,
[01:56:16.260 --> 01:56:20.860] something, in which after that volcano in Hawaii,
[01:56:20.860 --> 01:56:23.860] it was noted that the air was clearer
[01:56:23.860 --> 01:56:26.180] and there was less pollution.
[01:56:26.180 --> 01:56:28.020] So that's something to think about.
[01:56:28.020 --> 01:56:32.220] Is there some way of using that particular sulfur experiment
[01:56:32.220 --> 01:56:34.660] to decrease global warming?
[01:56:36.380 --> 01:56:38.660] War, for instance, we don't think of war
[01:56:38.660 --> 01:56:41.180] as a cause of global warming, but it is.
[01:56:41.180 --> 01:56:42.580] Or CO2.
[01:56:42.580 --> 01:56:44.140] Thermonuclear warning.
[01:56:44.140 --> 01:56:49.140] Yeah, but what upsets the Ukraine war and the Gaza war,
[01:56:51.260 --> 01:56:55.060] then the tremendous amount that's gonna overcome
[01:56:55.060 --> 01:56:58.380] and exceed the benefit of any of these things
[01:56:58.380 --> 01:57:01.780] like non-gasoline engines,
[01:57:01.780 --> 01:57:04.580] but using lighter and things like that.
[01:57:04.660 --> 01:57:05.500] Absolutely, yeah.
[01:57:05.500 --> 01:57:08.380] It's kind of like shooting up rockets
[01:57:08.380 --> 01:57:09.980] in order to put satellites up.
[01:57:09.980 --> 01:57:14.980] How many cars and lifetime use of cars from people
[01:57:15.020 --> 01:57:16.060] would that be equivalent to?
[01:57:16.060 --> 01:57:17.900] And then you start talking about all the missiles
[01:57:17.900 --> 01:57:18.860] that are being shot,
[01:57:18.860 --> 01:57:21.660] and then you get to the explosives as well.
[01:57:21.660 --> 01:57:24.900] It is really interesting how they focus
[01:57:24.900 --> 01:57:28.940] on their objectives for their ways to control it.
[01:57:28.940 --> 01:57:32.100] The manipulation's been going on for quite some time.
[01:57:32.860 --> 01:57:35.580] So, yeah, that is pretty amazing.
[01:57:35.580 --> 01:57:37.580] And I guess that's my,
[01:57:39.380 --> 01:57:40.220] when you look at this stuff,
[01:57:40.220 --> 01:57:41.700] it really does look like science fiction,
[01:57:41.700 --> 01:57:44.820] and I'm almost inclined to write it off when I first see it,
[01:57:44.820 --> 01:57:45.660] when DARPA is saying,
[01:57:45.660 --> 01:57:46.900] well, we need to find some way
[01:57:46.900 --> 01:57:50.700] that we can erase memories in people
[01:57:50.700 --> 01:57:52.700] and insert new memories into them.
[01:57:52.700 --> 01:57:55.860] I mean, we're going back to total recall, right?
[01:57:55.860 --> 01:57:59.260] So it sounds like something from a Philip K. Dick novel,
[01:57:59.260 --> 01:58:01.100] but they're really working on that.
[01:58:01.100 --> 01:58:02.940] And I guess one of the most striking things that we saw,
[01:58:02.940 --> 01:58:05.180] we reported on a couple of weeks ago,
[01:58:05.180 --> 01:58:07.980] and it was a company that was bragging about
[01:58:07.980 --> 01:58:12.380] how they could read your mind more accurately
[01:58:12.380 --> 01:58:14.220] and quickly than their competitors,
[01:58:14.220 --> 01:58:15.620] because there's a lot of different companies
[01:58:15.620 --> 01:58:16.820] that are doing this.
[01:58:16.820 --> 01:58:18.180] And how they could,
[01:58:19.180 --> 01:58:21.900] it was called Brain IT was the name of the company,
[01:58:21.900 --> 01:58:26.420] and so they had a way that they would do MRI,
[01:58:26.420 --> 01:58:31.420] and they could essentially train it on your brain
[01:58:31.700 --> 01:58:33.260] in a much shorter period of time than the other people,
[01:58:33.260 --> 01:58:34.740] and they could get much better results,
[01:58:34.740 --> 01:58:36.420] and our producers just pulled this up.
[01:58:36.420 --> 01:58:38.980] So what they do is they show you an image,
[01:58:38.980 --> 01:58:40.540] and you're looking at that image,
[01:58:40.540 --> 01:58:41.740] and then it's reading your mind
[01:58:41.740 --> 01:58:43.900] and reconstructing what you're looking at,
[01:58:43.900 --> 01:58:46.060] which I thought was absolutely amazing
[01:58:46.060 --> 01:58:48.140] and terrifying at the same time.
[01:58:48.140 --> 01:58:49.700] How is this going to be used?
[01:58:49.700 --> 01:58:51.500] I guess that's the real issue.
[01:58:51.500 --> 01:58:53.580] When we start talking about all these different things,
[01:58:53.580 --> 01:58:56.140] I think that is the real case
[01:58:56.740 --> 01:58:59.300] that it's difficult for people to understand just how far
[01:58:59.300 --> 01:59:02.340] and how quickly the technology has progressed,
[01:59:02.340 --> 01:59:05.260] and then to say, and how do we control this
[01:59:05.260 --> 01:59:07.940] from it being used for bad purposes?
[01:59:09.060 --> 01:59:12.980] Well, that's a specifically 21st century problem,
[01:59:12.980 --> 01:59:16.180] because all of these things have either originated
[01:59:16.180 --> 01:59:17.780] in the 21st century,
[01:59:17.780 --> 01:59:20.740] or they have in fact further developed
[01:59:20.740 --> 01:59:23.660] and become increasingly threatening.
[01:59:23.660 --> 01:59:27.180] And bear in mind, we have to solve these problems,
[01:59:27.180 --> 01:59:29.580] because they're not something that's gonna go away.
[01:59:29.580 --> 01:59:32.500] And then the most important thing to remember, David,
[01:59:32.500 --> 01:59:36.220] is that all of these things harm the brain,
[01:59:36.220 --> 01:59:39.700] and the brain is the thinking processor
[01:59:39.700 --> 01:59:41.140] that's gonna save us.
[01:59:41.140 --> 01:59:43.540] It's gonna figure out what the problems,
[01:59:43.540 --> 01:59:45.820] what the solutions to the problems are.
[01:59:45.820 --> 01:59:49.220] So we know now that wildfire smoke, for instance,
[01:59:49.220 --> 01:59:51.420] it creates dementia.
[01:59:51.420 --> 01:59:55.580] It enhances the likelihood of somebody coming to med it.
[01:59:55.580 --> 01:59:58.860] So as the brain is affected negatively,
[01:59:58.860 --> 02:00:02.380] increasingly over longer and longer periods of time,
[02:00:02.380 --> 02:00:06.180] our ability to solve these problems is going to decrease.
[02:00:06.180 --> 02:00:07.700] So we've got to do it now.
[02:00:07.700 --> 02:00:09.700] We've got to get serious about it.
[02:00:09.700 --> 02:00:12.500] And this business of people getting up and saying
[02:00:12.500 --> 02:00:14.780] that global warming is fiction,
[02:00:14.780 --> 02:00:18.500] and all that is really very, very disturbing.
[02:00:19.460 --> 02:00:21.740] Well, the example that you gave earlier
[02:00:21.740 --> 02:00:24.460] of the fact that the Indian government
[02:00:24.460 --> 02:00:26.140] was manipulating the temperature
[02:00:26.140 --> 02:00:27.980] at some of the stations there,
[02:00:27.980 --> 02:00:30.140] that kind of works both ways.
[02:00:30.140 --> 02:00:32.020] They have put some of these temperature stations
[02:00:32.020 --> 02:00:33.700] on the airport tarmacs.
[02:00:33.700 --> 02:00:37.460] And in the UK, they have a lot of the temperature stations
[02:00:37.460 --> 02:00:38.300] that they've got there.
[02:00:38.300 --> 02:00:39.860] They're just extrapolating the data.
[02:00:39.860 --> 02:00:42.460] They don't have real temperature measurement stations there.
[02:00:42.460 --> 02:00:44.740] So it all really gets back, I think,
[02:00:44.740 --> 02:00:46.540] to the scientific method.
[02:00:46.580 --> 02:00:48.980] And that's really where we have to hold people's feet
[02:00:48.980 --> 02:00:49.820] to the fire.
[02:00:49.820 --> 02:00:51.020] We're talking about something like that.
[02:00:51.020 --> 02:00:54.300] We can have an absolute standard of what truth is.
[02:00:54.300 --> 02:00:56.980] And that truth is going to be being able
[02:00:56.980 --> 02:00:58.700] to measure something accurately
[02:00:58.700 --> 02:01:00.940] and being able to reproduce that.
[02:01:00.940 --> 02:01:03.620] And then I think a good yardstick for that
[02:01:03.620 --> 02:01:06.340] is when somebody is trying to hide their data,
[02:01:06.340 --> 02:01:09.740] that's the clue right there that they're not doing science
[02:01:09.740 --> 02:01:11.420] because if they're doing science
[02:01:11.420 --> 02:01:13.900] and they've come to the right conclusion,
[02:01:13.900 --> 02:01:15.060] they don't have a problem with somebody
[02:01:15.060 --> 02:01:17.020] looking at their data.
[02:01:17.020 --> 02:01:19.060] And so I've got a question here for you
[02:01:19.060 --> 02:01:22.300] from a person in the audience asking if you know
[02:01:22.300 --> 02:01:26.020] about Drs. James Giordano and Charles Morgan
[02:01:26.020 --> 02:01:27.020] and their work with military.
[02:01:27.020 --> 02:01:28.900] I'm not familiar with those names.
[02:01:28.900 --> 02:01:31.260] I don't know if you know anything about that or not.
[02:01:31.260 --> 02:01:32.940] The Giordano says familiar.
[02:01:32.940 --> 02:01:36.700] What particular thing are they asking about them?
[02:01:36.700 --> 02:01:37.540] I don't know.
[02:01:37.540 --> 02:01:38.420] It just says their work with military.
[02:01:38.420 --> 02:01:39.940] I guess it would have to do with something,
[02:01:39.940 --> 02:01:41.060] but you haven't heard of it.
[02:01:41.060 --> 02:01:41.900] I'm not sure.
[02:01:42.540 --> 02:01:46.140] I could say Giordano did this or did that.
[02:01:46.140 --> 02:01:47.700] Sure, I understand.
[02:01:47.700 --> 02:01:49.780] Yeah, let's talk a little bit about the things
[02:01:49.780 --> 02:01:52.460] that we have been anxious about.
[02:01:52.460 --> 02:01:55.260] And of course, as Christians, we have one answer to it,
[02:01:55.260 --> 02:01:57.340] but you talk about how this is something
[02:01:57.340 --> 02:02:00.820] that has been around pretty much all of our life.
[02:02:00.820 --> 02:02:04.540] I mean, I grew up with anxiety about nuclear war,
[02:02:04.540 --> 02:02:08.060] for example, that was on everybody's television
[02:02:08.060 --> 02:02:11.140] and that was forefront of our mind,
[02:02:11.140 --> 02:02:13.340] especially growing up in Florida
[02:02:13.340 --> 02:02:14.940] when the Cuban Missile Crisis was happening.
[02:02:14.940 --> 02:02:16.420] They got us really afraid of that
[02:02:16.420 --> 02:02:18.060] when I was in elementary school.
[02:02:18.060 --> 02:02:19.460] It's like, there's not gonna be enough time
[02:02:19.460 --> 02:02:22.460] for you to get home when the nuclear bombs start falling.
[02:02:22.460 --> 02:02:25.260] And so, I mean, there's all these different ways
[02:02:25.260 --> 02:02:26.300] that you can panic people.
[02:02:26.300 --> 02:02:31.100] I guess part of it is how do we identify the real problems
[02:02:31.100 --> 02:02:34.140] and how do we deal with those problems?
[02:02:34.140 --> 02:02:37.420] Because there's always things that are competing
[02:02:37.420 --> 02:02:40.140] for our attention and our anxiety,
[02:02:40.180 --> 02:02:41.940] many of which are not real.
[02:02:41.940 --> 02:02:43.540] And usually the things that you're really
[02:02:43.540 --> 02:02:45.820] the most concerned about don't happen.
[02:02:45.820 --> 02:02:47.180] And it may be sometimes
[02:02:47.180 --> 02:02:49.900] because you have taken a precaution about it.
[02:02:49.900 --> 02:02:52.220] What would you say about that, about anxiety?
[02:02:57.220 --> 02:02:58.980] You're starting to break up a little bit.
[02:02:58.980 --> 02:03:00.060] Can you hear me clearly?
[02:03:00.060 --> 02:03:01.180] I hear you, yes, yes.
[02:03:01.180 --> 02:03:02.020] Sorry about that.
[02:03:02.020 --> 02:03:02.860] You're talking about-
[02:03:02.860 --> 02:03:04.620] It's breaking up a little bit.
[02:03:04.620 --> 02:03:07.180] You're talking about traumatizing a population.
[02:03:07.940 --> 02:03:10.700] You know, what do I do to guard against that type of thing?
[02:03:10.700 --> 02:03:13.340] And of course, that's going to really escalate
[02:03:13.340 --> 02:03:17.260] with the ability of AI to create a narrative.
[02:03:19.900 --> 02:03:24.220] Yeah, well, let's talk as an avenue to get into that.
[02:03:24.220 --> 02:03:27.340] Let's go back to what you brought about the atomic weapons
[02:03:27.340 --> 02:03:30.460] and the atomic war and the fears of the people
[02:03:30.460 --> 02:03:33.140] that there's gonna be another atomic war.
[02:03:33.140 --> 02:03:35.980] I mean, you know, this is not unrealistic.
[02:03:35.980 --> 02:03:38.620] There's even been a movie that's just come out
[02:03:38.620 --> 02:03:41.100] that's getting all kinds of attention, as you know,
[02:03:41.100 --> 02:03:45.460] and it has to do with the threat of a nuclear war.
[02:03:45.460 --> 02:03:48.980] Things in the, if you look at what's happening
[02:03:48.980 --> 02:03:52.260] in Europe right now, there's all kinds of suggestions
[02:03:52.260 --> 02:03:53.900] that it could lead to a nuclear war.
[02:03:53.900 --> 02:03:56.260] I mean, Ukraine now has announced
[02:03:56.260 --> 02:03:57.940] that they're under no conditions
[02:03:57.940 --> 02:03:59.260] willing to give up any land.
[02:03:59.260 --> 02:04:03.780] And Stalin is, I mean, Putin is thinking
[02:04:03.780 --> 02:04:05.540] what he can do to change that.
[02:04:06.180 --> 02:04:08.020] Maybe he'll attack another country.
[02:04:08.020 --> 02:04:10.700] I mean, this is scary stuff.
[02:04:10.700 --> 02:04:13.780] So what's happening in response to the government
[02:04:13.780 --> 02:04:17.260] is to try to show that, oh, we shouldn't worry about it.
[02:04:17.260 --> 02:04:18.500] We have things under control,
[02:04:18.500 --> 02:04:20.700] but I don't think things are under control.
[02:04:23.060 --> 02:04:25.220] And we've talked about the problems
[02:04:25.220 --> 02:04:26.260] and we've talked about problems.
[02:04:26.260 --> 02:04:31.140] You have your final chapter is new ways of thinking.
[02:04:31.140 --> 02:04:34.100] And I'd like to talk about that.
[02:04:34.100 --> 02:04:36.660] One of the things that you say is Ockham was wrong,
[02:04:36.660 --> 02:04:40.020] Ockham's razor that people are familiar with.
[02:04:40.020 --> 02:04:41.020] Tell us a little bit about that.
[02:04:41.020 --> 02:04:42.020] Why is Ockham wrong?
[02:04:43.780 --> 02:04:45.340] Well, because he says that, you know,
[02:04:45.340 --> 02:04:48.140] the entities are not to be multiplied,
[02:04:48.140 --> 02:04:50.300] meaning that we can always explain things best
[02:04:50.300 --> 02:04:54.340] by limiting ourselves to the minimal amount of factors,
[02:04:54.340 --> 02:04:55.180] ideally.
[02:04:55.180 --> 02:04:56.340] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson.
[02:04:56.340 --> 02:04:58.420] And I want you to pause what you're doing
[02:04:58.420 --> 02:04:59.540] for just one minute.
[02:04:59.540 --> 02:05:02.340] And I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[02:05:02.340 --> 02:05:05.820] She lives in a remote community with very few resources
[02:05:05.820 --> 02:05:08.300] and little to no healthcare.
[02:05:08.300 --> 02:05:10.300] So when Alejandra gets sick,
[02:05:10.300 --> 02:05:12.420] her parents have no real options,
[02:05:12.420 --> 02:05:14.660] no doctors in their community
[02:05:14.660 --> 02:05:18.060] and no money for real medical care.
[02:05:18.060 --> 02:05:20.780] By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[02:05:20.780 --> 02:05:24.140] She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[02:05:24.140 --> 02:05:26.940] I can't take the pain anymore.
[02:05:26.940 --> 02:05:28.700] I can't keep going.
[02:05:28.700 --> 02:05:31.460] Her parents drove hours to find a doctor
[02:05:31.460 --> 02:05:35.180] who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital.
[02:05:35.180 --> 02:05:38.660] And that was impossible for her family to afford.
[02:05:38.660 --> 02:05:42.620] And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[02:05:42.620 --> 02:05:45.860] Now, through compassion, Alejandra was treated
[02:05:45.860 --> 02:05:48.900] and against all odds, she survived.
[02:05:48.900 --> 02:05:52.860] She lived because someone just like you took action.
[02:05:52.860 --> 02:05:55.140] Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[02:05:55.140 --> 02:05:57.980] just like Alejandra who won't survive
[02:05:57.980 --> 02:06:00.540] unless someone like you steps in.
[02:06:00.540 --> 02:06:04.300] Compassion International partners with local churches,
[02:06:04.300 --> 02:06:07.300] providing children with the support that they need.
[02:06:07.300 --> 02:06:11.340] Critical medical care plus food, education
[02:06:11.340 --> 02:06:15.420] and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name.
[02:06:15.420 --> 02:06:19.180] So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[02:06:55.020 --> 02:06:57.900] One, one cause of every fact.
[02:06:57.900 --> 02:06:58.740] That's not true.
[02:06:58.740 --> 02:07:00.980] It's certainly not true in the 21st century
[02:07:00.980 --> 02:07:03.140] where there's all kinds of interactions
[02:07:03.140 --> 02:07:06.180] between factors and causes.
[02:07:06.180 --> 02:07:08.900] So that Ockham was wrong in that basis.
[02:07:08.900 --> 02:07:12.100] We have to think of an interconnecting pool,
[02:07:12.100 --> 02:07:14.860] just as in the brain of interconnections of neurons,
[02:07:14.860 --> 02:07:16.500] interconnections of these problems,
[02:07:16.500 --> 02:07:18.180] and they're all related.
[02:07:18.180 --> 02:07:19.020] They're all related.
[02:07:19.020 --> 02:07:21.260] All eight of them I talk about in my book,
[02:07:21.260 --> 02:07:22.220] they're all related.
[02:07:22.220 --> 02:07:24.860] And if you can figure a way of influencing one,
[02:07:24.860 --> 02:07:26.580] you influence all the others.
[02:07:26.820 --> 02:07:29.900] I mean, who would think there'd be a connection
[02:07:29.900 --> 02:07:33.260] between global warming and the amount of partisan
[02:07:33.260 --> 02:07:37.220] and cheese, for instance, high-end cheese?
[02:07:37.220 --> 02:07:41.420] Well, there is because chickens don't lay many eggs
[02:07:41.420 --> 02:07:43.420] and there'd be all the various other things
[02:07:43.420 --> 02:07:47.020] that'll come on in terms of making cheese.
[02:07:47.020 --> 02:07:48.780] I learned that the other day.
[02:07:48.780 --> 02:07:51.580] That was something that was a surprise to me.
[02:07:51.580 --> 02:07:52.460] You know, it's kind of interesting
[02:07:52.460 --> 02:07:54.180] when you talk about connections so much.
[02:07:54.180 --> 02:07:56.060] There was a series that was,
[02:07:56.100 --> 02:07:57.340] I think it was on PBS.
[02:07:57.340 --> 02:07:58.620] I think the guy's name was Burke.
[02:07:58.620 --> 02:07:59.740] I can't remember his first name.
[02:07:59.740 --> 02:08:00.940] I'm not sure about the last name,
[02:08:00.940 --> 02:08:03.780] but he had a series called Connections.
[02:08:03.780 --> 02:08:05.740] And I thought it was fascinating
[02:08:05.740 --> 02:08:08.220] because what he would do is he would take
[02:08:08.220 --> 02:08:10.860] a whole series of connections to show
[02:08:10.860 --> 02:08:13.540] how a particular technology had evolved.
[02:08:13.540 --> 02:08:18.180] So he might go from the quill to the jet engine
[02:08:18.180 --> 02:08:19.380] or something like that.
[02:08:19.380 --> 02:08:23.500] And it was a fascinating thread of things.
[02:08:23.500 --> 02:08:25.860] It's very much like what you're talking about.
[02:08:26.900 --> 02:08:27.740] It really is.
[02:08:27.740 --> 02:08:29.780] And I did consult his work, actually.
[02:08:29.780 --> 02:08:30.620] Did you?
[02:08:30.620 --> 02:08:31.660] I was writing this book
[02:08:31.660 --> 02:08:33.860] because he did that Connections.
[02:08:33.860 --> 02:08:36.260] He did a book called The Day the World Changed
[02:08:36.260 --> 02:08:37.100] and all this.
[02:08:37.100 --> 02:08:39.460] He also did a book called Circles
[02:08:39.460 --> 02:08:42.100] in which he would start with one particular event
[02:08:42.100 --> 02:08:43.860] that it had carried in history.
[02:08:43.860 --> 02:08:45.300] And if you go around the circle,
[02:08:45.300 --> 02:08:48.300] you come back to the beginning where it started
[02:08:48.300 --> 02:08:51.300] where this particular inventor invented something.
[02:08:51.300 --> 02:08:52.500] What led up to it?
[02:08:52.500 --> 02:08:54.380] What was the circle leading to that?
[02:08:54.460 --> 02:08:56.300] What was the circle leading to that?
[02:08:56.300 --> 02:08:58.820] So yes, we're talking about connections
[02:08:58.820 --> 02:09:00.620] and we're talking about the inability
[02:09:00.620 --> 02:09:03.660] to understand things without reference
[02:09:03.660 --> 02:09:06.780] to supporting and accessory factors.
[02:09:06.780 --> 02:09:09.060] We have that going on all the time,
[02:09:09.060 --> 02:09:12.060] denying things that are going to be happening.
[02:09:12.060 --> 02:09:13.740] And of course, I think the fearful thing
[02:09:13.740 --> 02:09:16.940] is that the government is aiding in this denial
[02:09:17.940 --> 02:09:20.500] because if you would deny that there's a problem,
[02:09:20.500 --> 02:09:23.940] then there's very little impetus to try to solve it.
[02:09:25.340 --> 02:09:28.780] If there ain't no problem, don't try to solve it.
[02:09:30.780 --> 02:09:33.460] They're throwing out their own chaos
[02:09:33.460 --> 02:09:36.420] and uncertainty and anxiety that's out there all the time,
[02:09:36.420 --> 02:09:38.180] always, I guess.
[02:09:38.180 --> 02:09:39.980] So the question is,
[02:09:39.980 --> 02:09:42.420] she's talking about volatility, uncertainty,
[02:09:42.420 --> 02:09:44.300] complexity, and ambiguity.
[02:09:44.300 --> 02:09:46.620] I mean, it sounds like a government policy.
[02:09:46.620 --> 02:09:49.420] I think they've got bureaucracies that specialize in that.
[02:09:50.660 --> 02:09:51.500] Yeah.
[02:09:51.500 --> 02:09:53.460] Well, actually, that's true.
[02:09:53.700 --> 02:09:56.340] That's in your section there about new ways of thinking.
[02:09:56.340 --> 02:09:58.340] And so how do we incorporate that
[02:09:58.340 --> 02:09:59.580] in the new ways of thinking
[02:09:59.580 --> 02:10:01.700] that help us to solve this riddle?
[02:10:03.460 --> 02:10:05.500] Well, each of those factors
[02:10:05.500 --> 02:10:10.420] is a factor that helps you to understand things
[02:10:10.420 --> 02:10:12.140] and to have more control.
[02:10:12.140 --> 02:10:12.980] It doesn't necessarily mean
[02:10:12.980 --> 02:10:15.020] it helps you to link them together.
[02:10:15.020 --> 02:10:17.260] That has to be done by original thinking.
[02:10:18.740 --> 02:10:20.540] You have to be under those things.
[02:10:20.580 --> 02:10:21.460] Things are volatile.
[02:10:21.460 --> 02:10:25.980] You don't have a basic situation that doesn't change.
[02:10:25.980 --> 02:10:27.740] It changes all the time.
[02:10:27.740 --> 02:10:31.340] So the other thing that I want to emphasize most
[02:10:31.340 --> 02:10:35.500] is the role of capitalism in all of this.
[02:10:35.500 --> 02:10:38.460] I mean, there's all this, like the private equity,
[02:10:38.460 --> 02:10:43.220] the business of people having a point of view
[02:10:43.220 --> 02:10:47.020] that is going to advance them financially
[02:10:47.020 --> 02:10:50.500] and that blinding them to the problems
[02:10:51.460 --> 02:10:52.300] that are here.
[02:10:52.300 --> 02:10:53.900] Like, for instance, we talked about global warming.
[02:10:53.900 --> 02:10:56.340] Well, the rich people, very rich people,
[02:10:56.340 --> 02:11:00.940] are buying multimillion dollar apartments and condominiums
[02:11:00.940 --> 02:11:03.380] which have special air filters
[02:11:03.380 --> 02:11:06.140] which will keep the wildfire smoke out
[02:11:06.140 --> 02:11:11.140] and will try to keep the global warming effect at bay
[02:11:12.020 --> 02:11:16.700] by super power air conditioners.
[02:11:16.700 --> 02:11:17.540] So the-
[02:11:17.540 --> 02:11:20.300] Of course, they're building their own bunkers too.
[02:11:21.140 --> 02:11:22.940] They're building things that are creating all kinds
[02:11:22.940 --> 02:11:27.060] of chaos and weapons of war, mass destruction.
[02:11:27.060 --> 02:11:30.620] They're building super bunkers in various places as well.
[02:11:30.620 --> 02:11:32.700] So I think they're somewhat pessimistic
[02:11:32.700 --> 02:11:33.940] about what they're doing.
[02:11:34.940 --> 02:11:37.060] Well, it's basically the idea is that
[02:11:37.060 --> 02:11:39.460] we don't care about the ordinary person.
[02:11:39.460 --> 02:11:40.540] We're going to survive.
[02:11:40.540 --> 02:11:42.820] We're going to see to our own survival.
[02:11:42.820 --> 02:11:46.060] And in order to do that, we have to deny certain things
[02:11:46.060 --> 02:11:48.540] that are going on will do so.
[02:11:48.540 --> 02:11:52.420] Now, incidentally, all of this is not conscious thinking.
[02:11:52.420 --> 02:11:53.500] They don't necessarily say,
[02:11:53.500 --> 02:11:56.460] well, I'm going to deny global warming
[02:11:56.460 --> 02:11:58.900] because it'll be to my advantage financially
[02:11:58.900 --> 02:12:03.340] because all my investment is in the oil and gas industry.
[02:12:03.340 --> 02:12:05.140] They don't do it that way.
[02:12:05.140 --> 02:12:08.100] They come up with pseudo logic,
[02:12:08.100 --> 02:12:09.980] things that seem to make sense to them.
[02:12:09.980 --> 02:12:14.260] But if they didn't have a financial thrust in the matter,
[02:12:14.260 --> 02:12:16.820] they would look at upon it quite differently.
[02:12:16.860 --> 02:12:17.700] That's right.
[02:12:17.700 --> 02:12:19.620] We can always find a justification for what it was,
[02:12:19.620 --> 02:12:22.020] what it is that we really want.
[02:12:22.020 --> 02:12:23.820] Everybody should understand that if you're a parent
[02:12:23.820 --> 02:12:25.540] this time of year at Christmas time,
[02:12:25.540 --> 02:12:27.900] you can always understand that people will come up
[02:12:27.900 --> 02:12:29.820] with a justification for what they want.
[02:12:29.820 --> 02:12:32.220] And that's as true of a government
[02:12:32.220 --> 02:12:33.820] as it is of corporations out there.
[02:12:33.820 --> 02:12:35.660] And it's really dangerous when the two of them
[02:12:35.660 --> 02:12:36.820] connect with each other.
[02:12:36.820 --> 02:12:38.140] I think that's one of the things,
[02:12:38.140 --> 02:12:40.460] you talk about connections and the importance of it
[02:12:40.460 --> 02:12:43.820] and how we can try to connect these different factors,
[02:12:43.820 --> 02:12:44.780] each of us individually.
[02:12:44.780 --> 02:12:48.020] But I think it's the human connection that is out there
[02:12:48.020 --> 02:12:50.660] that is going to be essential for all of this.
[02:12:50.660 --> 02:12:54.260] It's gonna be our collective work on all this.
[02:12:54.260 --> 02:12:55.260] What do you think about that?
[02:12:55.260 --> 02:12:56.500] Would you agree with that?
[02:12:58.020 --> 02:12:58.940] Well, I'd agree with it,
[02:12:58.940 --> 02:13:00.860] but there's so many things that are taking place now
[02:13:00.860 --> 02:13:03.780] that are causing the schisms
[02:13:03.780 --> 02:13:08.420] and splitting people into factors and belief systems
[02:13:08.420 --> 02:13:11.500] and political points of view that are,
[02:13:11.500 --> 02:13:12.980] and that's very dangerous
[02:13:12.980 --> 02:13:16.300] because then you can't get together any kind of unity,
[02:13:16.300 --> 02:13:18.740] even in the face of an emergency.
[02:13:18.740 --> 02:13:22.700] Well, I think we've always had these factor,
[02:13:22.700 --> 02:13:24.060] factions and things like that.
[02:13:24.060 --> 02:13:25.780] The founders of the country warned about
[02:13:25.780 --> 02:13:27.060] factions and political parties.
[02:13:27.060 --> 02:13:28.860] But I think what makes it unique
[02:13:28.860 --> 02:13:31.420] is that when you're interacting with people
[02:13:31.420 --> 02:13:33.220] on a personal basis,
[02:13:33.220 --> 02:13:35.220] you interact with them a little bit differently
[02:13:35.220 --> 02:13:38.340] than if you've got that separation between you
[02:13:38.340 --> 02:13:40.340] that technology is giving us now.
[02:13:40.340 --> 02:13:42.100] Because now you're interacting with something
[02:13:42.100 --> 02:13:44.140] that's abstract, it's not with another person.
[02:13:44.140 --> 02:13:46.220] And there's also the body language
[02:13:46.220 --> 02:13:48.140] that you're not picking up on.
[02:13:48.140 --> 02:13:50.620] But it makes it easier for you to be harder on people
[02:13:50.620 --> 02:13:53.060] when there's that distance there, I think.
[02:13:53.060 --> 02:13:55.300] That's why I think the personal connection,
[02:13:55.300 --> 02:13:58.780] I think is really vital to making these connections
[02:13:58.780 --> 02:14:01.260] and coming up with an understanding of what's going on.
[02:14:01.260 --> 02:14:04.140] When you talk about the hidden factors that are out there,
[02:14:04.140 --> 02:14:06.380] hidden unrelated topics, other people,
[02:14:06.380 --> 02:14:08.140] as you pointed out earlier,
[02:14:08.140 --> 02:14:09.740] just talking to ordinary people
[02:14:09.780 --> 02:14:12.260] about what it is that you see with different things.
[02:14:12.260 --> 02:14:13.820] I think that is the genius
[02:14:13.820 --> 02:14:16.140] of the collective free market out there,
[02:14:16.140 --> 02:14:19.660] that there's so many observers
[02:14:19.660 --> 02:14:22.500] who are looking at things and thinking about them.
[02:14:22.500 --> 02:14:24.660] And it's kind of their collective decision
[02:14:24.660 --> 02:14:27.380] that is kind of guiding things along,
[02:14:27.380 --> 02:14:30.780] as opposed to having a central planner who's doing that.
[02:14:30.780 --> 02:14:31.820] What do you think about that?
[02:14:31.820 --> 02:14:34.220] You've got to, in your final chapter,
[02:14:34.220 --> 02:14:35.340] A New Way of Thinking,
[02:14:35.340 --> 02:14:37.900] you have what you call a sensible solution.
[02:14:38.860 --> 02:14:40.700] What does that really involve?
[02:14:41.820 --> 02:14:43.820] I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said.
[02:14:43.820 --> 02:14:44.660] What's the last part?
[02:14:44.660 --> 02:14:46.660] You have a sensible solution.
[02:14:46.660 --> 02:14:48.300] What do you think a sensible solution
[02:14:48.300 --> 02:14:53.300] to the kind of stress and chaos and anxiety
[02:14:53.420 --> 02:14:54.700] that we have, manipulation that we have,
[02:14:54.700 --> 02:14:56.740] what is the solution to that?
[02:14:56.740 --> 02:14:59.660] Well, I think the Wikipedia is a good example of that.
[02:14:59.660 --> 02:15:02.340] They have people from all walks of life,
[02:15:02.340 --> 02:15:04.140] all levels of education,
[02:15:05.100 --> 02:15:08.100] free to contribute to whatever topic
[02:15:08.100 --> 02:15:09.740] they may want to do that.
[02:15:09.740 --> 02:15:10.820] It may be health.
[02:15:10.820 --> 02:15:14.220] I mentioned earlier about the effect of global warming
[02:15:14.220 --> 02:15:17.540] on the making of cheese.
[02:15:17.540 --> 02:15:19.420] There might be somebody who makes cheese
[02:15:19.420 --> 02:15:22.020] that's gonna come up with some idea.
[02:15:22.020 --> 02:15:23.020] We don't know that.
[02:15:23.020 --> 02:15:24.460] We don't know that that may not be
[02:15:24.460 --> 02:15:26.940] where comes some original idea
[02:15:26.940 --> 02:15:29.180] on what to do about global warming.
[02:15:29.180 --> 02:15:30.940] And you put it on what I'd like to think,
[02:15:31.020 --> 02:15:32.740] and I hope it will be developed,
[02:15:32.740 --> 02:15:36.180] a kind of Wikipedia where the ordinary person
[02:15:36.180 --> 02:15:39.580] can feel free to put forth their ideas about it.
[02:15:39.580 --> 02:15:41.420] Now, you say, well, we already have that.
[02:15:41.420 --> 02:15:42.780] We have the internet.
[02:15:42.780 --> 02:15:43.780] No, we don't.
[02:15:43.780 --> 02:15:46.580] The internet is a commercial situation.
[02:15:46.580 --> 02:15:48.500] It's all done for making money
[02:15:48.500 --> 02:15:50.380] and grab attention and all that.
[02:15:50.380 --> 02:15:52.700] And there's no criticism on it.
[02:15:52.700 --> 02:15:54.780] There's no peer review, if you will.
[02:15:54.780 --> 02:15:57.100] Whereas in the Wikipedia, I mean,
[02:15:57.100 --> 02:15:58.260] people can write in and say,
[02:15:58.300 --> 02:16:01.540] well, that particular contribution is bonkers
[02:16:01.540 --> 02:16:03.180] and then give an example why it is,
[02:16:03.180 --> 02:16:04.820] or that was a very good idea.
[02:16:04.820 --> 02:16:09.300] And after that, you begin to get things coming together
[02:16:09.300 --> 02:16:11.900] in unpredictable ways that may help us
[02:16:11.900 --> 02:16:14.260] solve these eight problems.
[02:16:14.260 --> 02:16:15.500] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[02:16:15.500 --> 02:16:17.580] and I want you to pause what you're doing
[02:16:17.580 --> 02:16:18.700] for just one minute,
[02:16:18.700 --> 02:16:21.100] and I want you to hear about love,
[02:16:21.100 --> 02:16:22.980] generosity, and compassion.
[02:16:22.980 --> 02:16:24.860] We say those words all the time,
[02:16:24.860 --> 02:16:26.140] and they sound good.
[02:16:26.140 --> 02:16:27.220] They feel good.
[02:16:27.220 --> 02:16:28.700] But here's the truth.
[02:16:28.700 --> 02:16:30.700] Those words don't mean anything
[02:16:30.700 --> 02:16:32.900] unless they turn into action.
[02:16:32.900 --> 02:16:36.460] And right now, not later today, not tomorrow,
[02:16:36.460 --> 02:16:38.060] there's a child in the world
[02:16:38.060 --> 02:16:40.780] who doesn't know if they'll eat,
[02:16:40.780 --> 02:16:42.900] if they'll have a chance to learn,
[02:16:42.900 --> 02:16:45.180] or if there's any hope at all.
[02:16:45.180 --> 02:16:49.420] And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward,
[02:16:49.420 --> 02:16:51.140] but that child is waiting.
[02:16:51.140 --> 02:16:53.220] This is where you come in.
[02:16:53.220 --> 02:16:54.780] With Compassion International,
[02:16:54.780 --> 02:16:57.900] you have the chance to change a child's future,
[02:16:57.900 --> 02:17:00.620] not just with words, not with promises,
[02:17:00.620 --> 02:17:04.300] but with real help that provides food, education,
[02:17:04.300 --> 02:17:07.180] and hope through local churches
[02:17:07.180 --> 02:17:09.780] and people already in their community.
[02:17:09.780 --> 02:17:12.980] Put your words into action and join me.
[02:17:12.980 --> 02:17:16.980] Introduce a child to a loving Heavenly Father today
[02:17:16.980 --> 02:17:19.100] at Compassion.com.
[02:17:19.100 --> 02:17:21.460] That's Compassion.com.
[02:17:22.340 --> 02:17:23.180] You know what?
[02:17:23.180 --> 02:17:24.940] It sucks to be bored.
[02:17:24.940 --> 02:17:27.740] But when I get on my phone and play real casino games
[02:17:27.740 --> 02:17:30.780] on SpinQuest.com, the time flies by.
[02:17:30.780 --> 02:17:34.180] That two-hour wait at the DMV seems like 10 minutes.
[02:17:34.180 --> 02:17:36.380] Play your favorite slots, live blackjack,
[02:17:36.380 --> 02:17:38.700] live preps, with a live dealer.
[02:17:38.700 --> 02:17:42.420] New players, $30 coin packs are on sale for 10 bucks.
[02:17:42.420 --> 02:17:46.020] Play SpinQuest.com and you'll never be bored again.
[02:17:46.020 --> 02:17:48.420] SpinQuest is a free-to-play social casino.
[02:17:48.420 --> 02:17:49.260] Voidware prohibited.
[02:17:49.260 --> 02:17:51.500] Visit SpinQuest.com for more details.
[02:17:52.940 --> 02:17:54.940] Yeah, the problem is it seems like whenever you wind up
[02:17:54.940 --> 02:17:57.900] having a forum or a place where things can be,
[02:17:57.900 --> 02:17:58.980] and that's true of the internet,
[02:17:58.980 --> 02:18:00.700] it's also true of Wikipedia,
[02:18:00.700 --> 02:18:03.060] then it becomes you have gatekeepers who are there.
[02:18:03.060 --> 02:18:07.820] And we saw this in spades throughout the COVID stuff
[02:18:07.820 --> 02:18:10.420] that if somebody's got a different idea,
[02:18:10.420 --> 02:18:11.900] rather than debate them,
[02:18:11.900 --> 02:18:15.340] the impetus is to silence them
[02:18:15.340 --> 02:18:17.340] by the people who are in authority.
[02:18:17.340 --> 02:18:20.500] And so that really, I think, is the key thing.
[02:18:20.500 --> 02:18:22.420] And I think as part of that,
[02:18:22.420 --> 02:18:27.420] we see a continuing rise in disgust and deprivation
[02:18:30.500 --> 02:18:32.740] of free speech.
[02:18:32.740 --> 02:18:36.020] People are not interested in the principle of free speech.
[02:18:36.020 --> 02:18:37.540] They don't wanna have open debate.
[02:18:37.540 --> 02:18:40.460] And I see this regardless of where people are coming from
[02:18:40.460 --> 02:18:41.900] on the political spectrum,
[02:18:41.900 --> 02:18:46.180] there is a declining interest in debate
[02:18:46.180 --> 02:18:50.460] and thinking, the debate is critical to critical thinking.
[02:18:50.460 --> 02:18:53.620] And so the people who are in charge,
[02:18:53.620 --> 02:18:55.860] the gatekeepers, whether it's Wikipedia or the internet
[02:18:55.860 --> 02:18:59.020] or any other form of information,
[02:18:59.020 --> 02:19:00.700] they are weighing in on that
[02:19:00.700 --> 02:19:04.540] and they don't want things that they disagree with.
[02:19:04.540 --> 02:19:06.180] And it might be because they've got an agenda
[02:19:06.180 --> 02:19:07.700] or it might be because they've just got
[02:19:07.700 --> 02:19:10.260] a particular prejudice about something.
[02:19:10.260 --> 02:19:12.140] They want to make sure
[02:19:12.140 --> 02:19:15.140] that the contrary views don't get out there.
[02:19:15.140 --> 02:19:18.380] That, I think, is the real key that's there.
[02:19:18.380 --> 02:19:21.540] And again, this is part of this atomization
[02:19:21.540 --> 02:19:23.580] that we have of people,
[02:19:23.580 --> 02:19:24.940] feeding that tribalism in a way
[02:19:24.940 --> 02:19:28.340] that we've never seen it before, using technology.
[02:19:28.340 --> 02:19:31.220] I would agree with everything you've just said, exactly.
[02:19:31.220 --> 02:19:34.820] And I think we have to try to get beyond that,
[02:19:34.820 --> 02:19:37.820] but we get back again to this business of people
[02:19:37.820 --> 02:19:42.260] having their own personal financial point of view
[02:19:42.300 --> 02:19:45.340] and position and pushing that,
[02:19:45.340 --> 02:19:47.940] basically on the fact that they look upon it as.
[02:19:47.940 --> 02:19:51.020] So maybe we're talking about a capitalism problem.
[02:19:51.900 --> 02:19:54.500] We've got capitalism, that's what this country's all about.
[02:19:54.500 --> 02:19:56.580] But I mean, it's in certain parts of it now.
[02:19:56.580 --> 02:19:59.220] We've gotten to the point where people are unable
[02:19:59.220 --> 02:20:01.180] to take another point of view
[02:20:01.180 --> 02:20:05.020] if it's going to be financially harmful and hurtful to them.
[02:20:05.020 --> 02:20:05.860] Yeah.
[02:20:05.860 --> 02:20:08.540] I think that, you know,
[02:20:08.540 --> 02:20:10.540] we started looking at the tech companies.
[02:20:10.540 --> 02:20:12.620] I don't think that their capitalism would exist.
[02:20:12.620 --> 02:20:13.980] I don't think they'd have billions of dollars
[02:20:13.980 --> 02:20:15.620] if they weren't unified with the government.
[02:20:15.620 --> 02:20:18.940] So there's a symbiosis there
[02:20:18.940 --> 02:20:23.700] that the two of these entities feed off of each other.
[02:20:23.700 --> 02:20:27.940] And I think that nexus right there is the difficult thing.
[02:20:27.940 --> 02:20:31.580] And so I think, you know, when I think of capitalism,
[02:20:31.580 --> 02:20:33.860] I don't like to refer to capitalism anymore
[02:20:33.860 --> 02:20:36.380] because I think of it as a partnership,
[02:20:36.380 --> 02:20:38.260] a public-private partnership,
[02:20:38.260 --> 02:20:40.740] some kind of a economic fascism
[02:20:40.740 --> 02:20:42.020] where they are working together.
[02:20:42.020 --> 02:20:44.700] But I like to think of a free competitive market
[02:20:44.700 --> 02:20:46.980] where the government doesn't have any role
[02:20:46.980 --> 02:20:48.860] except as some kind of a referee
[02:20:48.860 --> 02:20:51.300] between two parties that have a conflict or something.
[02:20:51.300 --> 02:20:54.740] But yeah, that's the thing that's really driving this.
[02:20:54.740 --> 02:20:56.860] You know, many people, when they talk about AI,
[02:20:56.860 --> 02:20:57.700] they said, well, you know,
[02:20:57.700 --> 02:20:59.620] here's a couple of different outcomes.
[02:20:59.620 --> 02:21:01.700] Maybe this stuff really works the way it's supposed to work
[02:21:01.700 --> 02:21:03.020] and it takes everybody's jobs
[02:21:03.020 --> 02:21:04.540] and we wind up with a depression.
[02:21:04.540 --> 02:21:06.340] Or maybe it doesn't work at all,
[02:21:06.340 --> 02:21:10.380] in which case the big AI stock bubble that we've got burst
[02:21:10.380 --> 02:21:12.820] and everybody loses their job because of that.
[02:21:12.820 --> 02:21:14.580] And I said, well, there's a third alternative.
[02:21:14.580 --> 02:21:17.020] And that is that the government keeps propping it up
[02:21:17.020 --> 02:21:21.420] with public funds because it feeds their surveillance
[02:21:21.420 --> 02:21:24.700] and manipulation needs,
[02:21:24.700 --> 02:21:28.060] their ability to surveil and to control us.
[02:21:28.060 --> 02:21:29.620] And I really think that that's
[02:21:29.620 --> 02:21:30.900] where this is all going to head.
[02:21:30.900 --> 02:21:32.220] I don't really, you know,
[02:21:32.220 --> 02:21:34.380] those other two things may happen and they may be true,
[02:21:34.380 --> 02:21:37.900] but I think there is a customer out there
[02:21:37.900 --> 02:21:40.180] for the AI stuff that is driving all this stuff
[02:21:40.180 --> 02:21:41.980] that has been putting out these proposals
[02:21:41.980 --> 02:21:42.820] for the longest time.
[02:21:42.820 --> 02:21:45.100] And that's governments, governments around the world.
[02:21:45.100 --> 02:21:46.940] I mean, we look at the brain project
[02:21:46.940 --> 02:21:48.820] that we had a few years ago.
[02:21:48.820 --> 02:21:50.260] That was during the Obama administration,
[02:21:50.260 --> 02:21:53.260] but things like the brain computer interface
[02:21:53.260 --> 02:21:56.060] that Elon Musk and many other tech companies
[02:21:56.060 --> 02:21:58.700] are doing out there, this Neuralink.
[02:21:58.700 --> 02:22:00.980] And there's a lot of them that are doing that.
[02:22:00.980 --> 02:22:03.620] That's being driven by the government
[02:22:03.660 --> 02:22:05.980] wanting to connect into our minds,
[02:22:05.980 --> 02:22:07.620] hack into our minds really.
[02:22:07.620 --> 02:22:09.180] And they've been funding that kind of stuff.
[02:22:09.180 --> 02:22:11.100] So how do we break that?
[02:22:11.100 --> 02:22:11.940] Yeah.
[02:22:12.820 --> 02:22:15.300] On the Musk side, he's doing it for money.
[02:22:15.300 --> 02:22:16.660] I mean, obviously to make money.
[02:22:16.660 --> 02:22:17.500] That's right.
[02:22:17.500 --> 02:22:20.020] So that there's an unholy alliance, if you will,
[02:22:20.020 --> 02:22:23.780] between someone who can't see anything other than the dollar
[02:22:23.780 --> 02:22:25.860] and another side of the government can't see anything
[02:22:25.860 --> 02:22:28.340] other than increasing power and surveillance
[02:22:28.340 --> 02:22:29.980] over the population.
[02:22:29.980 --> 02:22:30.940] Yeah, that's right.
[02:22:30.940 --> 02:22:32.140] Absolutely true.
[02:22:32.140 --> 02:22:33.500] Well, it's a fascinating book.
[02:22:34.340 --> 02:22:36.180] It's a fascinating take on this.
[02:22:36.180 --> 02:22:39.980] And of course, you've written many books on the brain,
[02:22:39.980 --> 02:22:41.700] the memory one, very interesting.
[02:22:41.700 --> 02:22:46.340] And you do have sections about memory in this book as well.
[02:22:46.340 --> 02:22:48.620] And people will be able to find this on Amazon,
[02:22:48.620 --> 02:22:51.180] I guess is the best place that they can find it,
[02:22:51.180 --> 02:22:53.180] looking for the title of this.
[02:22:53.180 --> 02:22:58.180] And it is something that I think we all need to think
[02:22:58.780 --> 02:23:02.700] about how we're going to operate the effects
[02:23:02.980 --> 02:23:04.820] that this technology is having on our brains
[02:23:04.820 --> 02:23:05.660] in the 21st century.
[02:23:05.660 --> 02:23:07.300] And that is the title of the book,
[02:23:07.300 --> 02:23:11.100] The 21st Century Brain by Richard Restak.
[02:23:11.100 --> 02:23:12.860] Thank you very much, Dr. Restak.
[02:23:12.860 --> 02:23:13.980] Thank you.
[02:23:13.980 --> 02:23:14.820] Appreciate you coming on.
[02:23:14.820 --> 02:23:16.300] Good day, I enjoyed it very much.
[02:23:16.300 --> 02:23:17.140] Thank you.
[02:23:17.140 --> 02:23:18.140] Yeah, very interesting conversation.
[02:23:18.140 --> 02:23:19.340] Thank you, have a good day.
[02:23:19.340 --> 02:23:20.740] Folks, we're gonna take a quick break
[02:23:20.740 --> 02:23:23.300] and we will be right back.
[02:23:53.300 --> 02:23:59.200] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and thanks for watching.
[02:24:23.300 --> 02:24:28.760] But I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels.
[02:24:28.760 --> 02:24:34.180] A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called
[02:24:34.180 --> 02:24:35.900] Compassion International.
[02:24:35.900 --> 02:24:36.900] Why?
[02:24:36.900 --> 02:24:39.940] Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[02:24:39.940 --> 02:24:45.920] It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change
[02:24:45.920 --> 02:24:47.500] my life as well.
[02:24:47.500 --> 02:24:53.220] I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, going from
[02:24:53.220 --> 02:24:59.140] starving literally alone on the streets to getting the healthcare and education she needs
[02:24:59.140 --> 02:25:02.420] to reach her God-given full potential.
[02:25:02.420 --> 02:25:07.460] I got to be a part of that change, and the light of that compassion not only illuminates
[02:25:07.460 --> 02:25:11.000] in her, it illuminates now in me.
[02:25:11.000 --> 02:25:13.340] That is the power of compassion.
[02:25:13.340 --> 02:25:17.140] The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[02:25:17.140 --> 02:25:21.220] Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[02:25:21.220 --> 02:25:24.120] Change the world, and you also change yourself.
[02:25:24.120 --> 02:25:26.300] You can sponsor a child today.
[02:25:26.300 --> 02:25:28.900] Visit Compassion.com.

[02:25:34.380 --> 02:25:40.620] But when I get on my phone and play real casino games on SpinQuest.com, the time flies by.

[02:26:02.180 --> 02:26:11.900] All right, welcome back, and joining us now is Wayne Morrow.
[02:26:11.900 --> 02:26:15.300] He is the CEO of the John Birch Society.
[02:26:16.060 --> 02:26:22.900] He's got something I think is very interesting to talk about, and that is Fabian Socialism.
[02:26:22.900 --> 02:26:27.700] You probably heard this term before, but maybe you don't understand what it is or the difference
[02:26:27.700 --> 02:26:34.620] between it and Karl Marx's approach, and how much more dangerous it is.
[02:26:34.620 --> 02:26:41.900] For me growing up, Fabian was a teen idol, and I saw Fabian Socialism as like, what is
[02:26:41.900 --> 02:26:42.900] that?
[02:26:43.500 --> 02:26:51.740] Actually, he was a famous Roman general, and I guess Fabian's parents were Italian, and
[02:26:51.740 --> 02:26:56.580] I guess maybe that was the namesake, or they might have been socialists, I don't know.
[02:26:56.580 --> 02:27:02.300] But anyway, it is important to understand the distinction, because they have very different
[02:27:02.300 --> 02:27:06.820] tactics that they use to achieve the same totalitarian goals.
[02:27:06.820 --> 02:27:10.420] So joining us now is Wayne Morrow, CEO of the John Birch Society.
[02:27:10.420 --> 02:27:11.940] Thank you for joining us, sir.
[02:27:11.980 --> 02:27:12.980] Thank you, David.
[02:27:12.980 --> 02:27:19.180] Appreciate being here, and yeah, Fabian's, much like the Council on Foreign Relations,
[02:27:19.180 --> 02:27:22.420] very little known about people in their respective countries.
[02:27:22.420 --> 02:27:25.660] It's sort of that secretive, behind-the-scenes group.
[02:27:25.660 --> 02:27:27.700] That's part of the plan.
[02:27:27.700 --> 02:27:31.860] And you mentioned, you told me just as we were talking here, just before you came on,
[02:27:31.860 --> 02:27:38.180] there is also a book that the John Birch Society sells called the Fabian Freeway, a very in-depth
[02:27:38.180 --> 02:27:39.180] book.
[02:27:39.420 --> 02:27:43.220] Yeah, it's a book we've written past, and we republished it.
[02:27:43.220 --> 02:27:47.140] We have our own publishing company called the Western Islands, and the Fabian Freeway
[02:27:47.140 --> 02:27:53.060] is a book about the genesis of the Fabians, and how it impacted even our US policies and
[02:27:53.060 --> 02:27:54.060] our foreign policies.
[02:27:54.060 --> 02:27:59.660] It all ties together, but it's a real good book, and it's over about 600 pages, so it's
[02:27:59.660 --> 02:28:04.380] not a quick read, but it's in-depth, and I think it's for people who are serious students
[02:28:04.380 --> 02:28:05.380] about history.
[02:28:05.580 --> 02:28:10.620] And what goes on today, surely, I call it, we're the top of the puzzle box, you know.
[02:28:10.620 --> 02:28:12.180] Now we understand what goes on.
[02:28:12.180 --> 02:28:13.180] That's right.
[02:28:13.180 --> 02:28:14.180] That's right.
[02:28:14.180 --> 02:28:16.580] But tell us a little bit about Fabian socialism.
[02:28:16.580 --> 02:28:22.580] What was it about that general that they liked, and how does that tell us about their tactics,
[02:28:22.580 --> 02:28:24.340] and how is it different from Marxism?
[02:28:24.340 --> 02:28:26.220] Well, that's a good question.
[02:28:26.220 --> 02:28:32.860] Well, anyway, the genesis, as you mentioned, Quintus Fabius Maximus, he was a Roman general,
[02:28:33.340 --> 02:28:41.220] very slow-moving, he was very, you know, quiet, but he was slow and un-forceful, and much
[02:28:41.220 --> 02:28:46.620] like the Fabians took his name, because that's the process they want, you know, their moniker
[02:28:46.620 --> 02:28:51.420] originally was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that didn't work over too well, figure
[02:28:51.420 --> 02:28:55.820] that one out for a while, and they said, now we'll go switch to a turtle, right?
[02:28:55.820 --> 02:29:00.020] I think the Republicans and Democrats could use that imagery as well, thanks to a donkey
[02:29:00.180 --> 02:29:04.020] and an elephant, they could have a wolf in a sheep's clothing for both of them, yeah.
[02:29:04.020 --> 02:29:07.460] They had to change their moniker because it wasn't going over well, but you know, if you
[02:29:07.460 --> 02:29:14.260] go back to the genesis of it all, Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner were involved in forming this
[02:29:14.260 --> 02:29:20.980] elite group, and George Bernard Shaw was certainly one of the members, and the web, Sidney Webb
[02:29:20.980 --> 02:29:28.620] and all, and you know, they were very open about socialism, and you know, the dispute
[02:29:28.620 --> 02:29:34.020] they had between Marx and themselves was they wanted to believe in the more of the
[02:29:34.020 --> 02:29:44.300] ethical, slow-moving educational route versus violence, and so that was their goal.
[02:29:44.300 --> 02:29:49.900] So you know, they formed, you know, the London School of Economics, and out of that school,
[02:29:49.900 --> 02:29:57.500] you know, they put in place various key legislators in government and even in institutions around
[02:29:57.980 --> 02:30:04.940] the UK, and they knew that by influencing public policy, it didn't make any difference
[02:30:04.940 --> 02:30:09.660] who was the elected official, because they were setting the policy, they do that today, as a
[02:30:09.660 --> 02:30:16.540] matter of fact, and so George Bernard Shaw was, he was also very large on eugenics, as a matter of
[02:30:16.540 --> 02:30:20.860] fact, I don't have that video clip, but if you could listen to that audio clip, he talks about
[02:30:20.860 --> 02:30:25.820] once every five years, listen to this one, we'd have to stand in front of this board to determine
[02:30:25.820 --> 02:30:30.220] if we should be worthy of staying alive or not. He actually said that, you know,
[02:30:31.820 --> 02:30:38.140] so he's gonna go imagine that. Just destroyed my appreciation of my fair lady, right? Can you
[02:30:38.140 --> 02:30:42.300] imagine? You can listen to it, go believe me, you can look it up, you can listen to the video
[02:30:42.300 --> 02:30:49.260] audio clip, it's amazing, and you know, and so every prime minister, every Labour Party member
[02:30:49.260 --> 02:30:59.660] of the UK is a Fabian, and so the Fabian's goal is, is always has been, as we call it, socialism
[02:30:59.660 --> 02:31:06.060] with a slow walk to Marxism, and what they wanted to do is govern every aspect of your life and
[02:31:06.060 --> 02:31:11.900] force globalism, so as you see now today with Keir Starberg, who by the way is a Fabian, as well as
[02:31:11.900 --> 02:31:18.380] the Mayor of London, you're watching it happen, the country being destroyed, and I have podcasts
[02:31:19.020 --> 02:31:26.860] with folks in London, and I tell them this is all to queue, this is exactly what the plan is to
[02:31:26.860 --> 02:31:33.100] destroy their heritage, their history, to bring in usher in world government. Now when you say,
[02:31:34.940 --> 02:31:40.860] when you say they're Fabians, is there still an organization that they belong as an active member
[02:31:40.860 --> 02:31:45.340] like somebody would belong to the John Birch Society, so they actually, so have the Fabian
[02:31:45.340 --> 02:31:49.180] Society there, yeah, yes, yeah, Tony Blair is a member of the Fabians, you know,
[02:31:50.060 --> 02:31:55.500] guard carry a member, he's very active with it by the way, you know, with the World Economic Forum,
[02:31:55.500 --> 02:31:59.740] interesting, but if you go online you can look up the Fabian Society, they have organization
[02:31:59.740 --> 02:32:06.060] Australia, they're young Fabians, you know, but they exist, I mean they exist today, and when I
[02:32:06.060 --> 02:32:12.860] speak to the British, very few really understand the Fabians. Liz Truss, I met Liz Truss, the past
[02:32:12.860 --> 02:32:18.540] prime minister, I was at a CEO conference, and I gave her my card, and I said I'll send you a copy
[02:32:18.540 --> 02:32:24.620] of the Fabian freeway, now she's actively doing YouTube phenomenas, because I said you never
[02:32:24.620 --> 02:32:30.300] mentioned the Fabians, Liz, but you know, I think she knew exactly what they were, but the whole
[02:32:30.300 --> 02:32:39.820] thing was, David, back in Woodrow Wilson's days, when he actually worked with Colonel Mandel House,
[02:32:39.820 --> 02:32:44.940] another globalist, they formed this thing called the Inquiry, and the Inquiry was a group of men,
[02:32:44.940 --> 02:32:51.340] we're British and US, and they disguise how are we going to work together, and kind of really
[02:32:51.340 --> 02:32:57.740] conquer the world as far as the political agenda, and then eventually total, and so that was the
[02:32:57.740 --> 02:33:02.540] genesis of the Council on Foreign Relations, so the Council on Foreign Relations, which is
[02:33:02.540 --> 02:33:09.980] house in New York City, they and the Fabians work together as we speak today, and setting
[02:33:09.980 --> 02:33:14.380] governance and policy, and they do that, regardless what the elections look like,
[02:33:15.020 --> 02:33:20.220] they're behind the scenes doing foreign policy, and that's why we always look at each other,
[02:33:20.220 --> 02:33:26.300] why doesn't everything change? Well, that's because behind the scenes, the same folks have been
[02:33:26.300 --> 02:33:31.420] working the agenda, that's what's going on, and we have to bring the light to the UK people,
[02:33:31.420 --> 02:33:37.820] as well as the United States, that this group, these groups are hard at work directing our
[02:33:37.820 --> 02:33:43.180] foreign policy, but our future, it is for world government, it's nothing to do with freedom,
[02:33:43.180 --> 02:33:49.020] and our job at the Bird Society is through education, to make people aware of who they are,
[02:33:49.020 --> 02:33:54.220] so we know what to do, it's not mystical, it's not magical, it's not a beauty contest when you elect
[02:33:54.220 --> 02:34:00.380] somebody, but we have to know the threats are real, and we see it today. Yes, it sounds very
[02:34:00.380 --> 02:34:05.980] much like Antonio Gramsci, the father of the Italian Communist Party's strategy, where he
[02:34:05.980 --> 02:34:11.980] wanted to march through the institutions, how is it different than Gramsci's communism? Because,
[02:34:11.980 --> 02:34:18.540] and I mentioned Antonio Gramsci because Pete Buttigieg is what I call him, because he's very
[02:34:18.540 --> 02:34:23.980] proud of that, but you know, his father spent his entire career at Notre Dame, that was really his
[02:34:23.980 --> 02:34:32.700] specialty, Antonio Gramsci, and he had him go to Harvard, where he studied under Sokvan Berkovich,
[02:34:33.340 --> 02:34:40.940] who was also very much a fan of Italian communism, he changed his name to honor Soko and Vanzetti,
[02:34:40.940 --> 02:34:48.460] and so, you know, that, I've learned something about Antonio Gramsci because of Buttigieg,
[02:34:48.460 --> 02:34:51.900] but I also called him Booty Marks, because that's really where they're trying to take us,
[02:34:51.900 --> 02:34:57.500] but again, it is a slow march through the institutions, and so, what is the difference,
[02:34:57.500 --> 02:35:02.220] is that- Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute,
[02:35:02.220 --> 02:35:08.380] and I want you to hear about love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words all the time,
[02:35:08.380 --> 02:35:14.700] and they sound good, they feel good, but here's the truth, those words don't mean anything unless
[02:35:14.700 --> 02:35:21.580] they turn into action, and right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world
[02:35:21.580 --> 02:35:28.860] who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all,
[02:35:28.860 --> 02:35:35.180] and while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is

[02:36:35.660 --> 02:36:39.660] That one of them was Italian, and the other one was predominantly English and American, kind of
[02:36:39.660 --> 02:36:47.900] Anglo. Yeah, well, Gramsci was involved as an Italian. He's from Sardinia, and he was grew up
[02:36:47.900 --> 02:36:53.420] in that area of farm. He watched the farmer owners take advantage of the farmer workers.
[02:36:53.420 --> 02:36:59.340] He actually has a book called, David, called the Gramsci papers, prison papers, and that's about
[02:36:59.340 --> 02:37:03.580] this thing I have behind me in my library, and it was written on toilet paper, by the way,
[02:37:04.220 --> 02:37:12.540] and he passed it to his sister, and it became the Gramsci paper, the prison papers, and
[02:37:12.540 --> 02:37:18.140] Gramsci was, you know, a threat to, you know, the Nazis in Germany, and that's why it was
[02:37:18.140 --> 02:37:22.140] called the Frankfurt School, and Hitler tossed them out of the United States. They end up in
[02:37:22.140 --> 02:37:32.380] Clubby University, and so the goal then was then to indoctrinate and reduce the morality of young
[02:37:32.380 --> 02:37:36.860] college students and shove down their throats socialism and communism, so now we have the
[02:37:36.860 --> 02:37:44.300] professors from various institutions in the country, about, remember that, then the 60s,
[02:37:44.300 --> 02:37:47.740] about the hippie movement, all that was all coming from the Frankfurt School through
[02:37:47.740 --> 02:37:52.540] Columbia University, destroying, they knew they had, this is what Gramsci said, David,
[02:37:52.540 --> 02:37:59.740] I can't, we can't destroy the United States or Western society as we talk to it economically.
[02:37:59.740 --> 02:38:04.780] That's hard. We have to change them morally, because if we could do that,
[02:38:04.780 --> 02:38:08.300] we could destroy the morality, because that's the glue that holds them together,
[02:38:08.300 --> 02:38:13.580] then we can destroy them, and that's what, that's the whole story with the Frankfurt School,
[02:38:13.580 --> 02:38:17.900] which ended up at Clubby University. If you think about it, where we are back in the 40s,
[02:38:17.900 --> 02:38:21.500] to where today you can see the morality of the United States going the other direction,
[02:38:21.500 --> 02:38:25.900] and that's all according to plan, and that's why they got so heavily involved in Hollywood,
[02:38:25.900 --> 02:38:29.820] the entertainment business as well. Absolutely correct, and that's what happened,
[02:38:29.820 --> 02:38:35.980] so they knew that's exactly one of the key points that makes the United States and Western
[02:38:35.980 --> 02:38:41.660] civilization so strong is our moral behavior and our beliefs, so that's what we see today,
[02:38:41.660 --> 02:38:46.620] but that's the difference between the two, and so they're Marxists, but they use that social
[02:38:46.620 --> 02:38:51.900] element, they said Karl Marx wasn't right, he thought economics was the only way, no, we're
[02:38:51.900 --> 02:38:55.740] going to have to do the moral end of it, so that's, they morphed it into another strategy,
[02:38:55.740 --> 02:39:01.180] but it's all the same man, goal is still slavery. And you can see that very much in what Sackman
[02:39:01.180 --> 02:39:10.300] Berkovich focused on there at Harvard, everything for him was a product of Puritanism, and so we've
[02:39:10.300 --> 02:39:15.260] got to overthrow this whole, the Puritan roots of America, and we've got to attack it at its
[02:39:15.260 --> 02:39:20.460] foundation, but he was really, what he was trying to do was to attack the moral foundation of the
[02:39:20.460 --> 02:39:26.220] country, that's why he focused on that so much, but everything he talked about was in terms of
[02:39:26.220 --> 02:39:31.900] that, you know, well this is because of the Mayflower, and we've got to get rid of that,
[02:39:31.900 --> 02:39:37.580] but it is kind of interesting, and of course we see other approaches as well, you had people like
[02:39:41.580 --> 02:39:47.340] Bill Ayres, okay, they decided that they would, they said well we've had class struggles over,
[02:39:48.220 --> 02:39:52.700] you know, for Marxism in Europe, that's not going to work here, it's not working here that well,
[02:39:52.700 --> 02:39:58.300] so let's go to a race struggle, so there's yet another approach that the Communists have taken,
[02:39:58.300 --> 02:40:03.580] they've got so many different prongs to get all of them take us to the same hell, don't they?
[02:40:06.620 --> 02:40:12.620] Yeah, we do the dirty work for them, we have, you know, class struggles, men against women,
[02:40:12.620 --> 02:40:17.740] that's another big one right now, children against their parents, black versus white,
[02:40:17.740 --> 02:40:26.300] or tan, it's all about conflict and war, that's their goal, because they need that to enforce
[02:40:26.300 --> 02:40:31.500] more rules and regulations of the government, and less freedom, you guys can't play nice, okay,
[02:40:31.500 --> 02:40:37.820] well we're going to incite that, and you know, Marxists knew that's one of the goals, and it's
[02:40:37.820 --> 02:40:43.180] written over a period of time, lots of documentation on how that works, but that's the
[02:40:43.180 --> 02:40:50.860] goal, so they're playing to our frailties of humans, you know, rich versus poor, black versus
[02:40:50.860 --> 02:40:57.820] white, tan versus white, Chinese, whatever, doesn't make a difference, because their end game is world
[02:40:57.820 --> 02:41:03.020] government, and they know that they can't have a lot of us, so we have to, we have to exterminate
[02:41:03.020 --> 02:41:09.020] some, so let those guys exterminate themselves, and that's what we see, you know, and we're seeing
[02:41:09.020 --> 02:41:14.380] that now in the UK, as we start our conversation about the Fabians, as I talk to the folks in the
[02:41:14.380 --> 02:41:20.460] UK, we're watching their country, and I used to live there, work there, in Oxfordshire, so I know
[02:41:20.460 --> 02:41:28.060] the country rather well, and I'm watching those folks being destroyed by the invaders on purpose,
[02:41:28.060 --> 02:41:34.220] but they're doing their dirty work, destroying all their history, and inflict terror and terror
[02:41:34.220 --> 02:41:41.340] into those folks in Ireland, as well as the UK, and they're concerned, but I'm seeing a resurgence
[02:41:41.340 --> 02:41:48.300] of the British citizen rising up, it was about a month ago, you recall in London, they had
[02:41:49.340 --> 02:41:55.740] people marching with the British flag, it wasn't 200,000, David, we had people that were there,
[02:41:55.740 --> 02:42:00.780] and they said it was more like 3 million people were there, you'll see farmer trucks now marching
[02:42:00.780 --> 02:42:06.860] into London with their tractors, they don't want to be slaves, and I've talked to enough Europeans,
[02:42:07.500 --> 02:42:12.140] they don't want to be a part of the European EC any longer, they're losing their sovereignty,
[02:42:12.140 --> 02:42:17.340] they love their history, David, and they really respect, and when I travel throughout Europe,
[02:42:17.340 --> 02:42:23.660] when I live there, they really love their history, and they love their heritage, it's being destroyed
[02:42:23.660 --> 02:42:29.740] systematically, and it does not work. One thing I wanted to tell you, which is interesting, I found
[02:42:29.740 --> 02:42:36.380] out talking to several of the folks within, you know, past legislators, they tell me, they get
[02:42:36.380 --> 02:42:44.380] their news about the United States in two ways, CNN and the New York Times. What does that tell you, David?
[02:42:44.380 --> 02:42:54.700] Yeah, you're going to see CNN. I go, what is that doing? I'm in Hungary, or I'm in
[02:42:54.700 --> 02:43:00.860] Italy, I'm watching CNN, but that's how they look at the United States. I said, well, that's totally
[02:43:00.860 --> 02:43:07.500] upside down, you know? Yeah, well, I had a friend who worked in the Pentagon about 20, 30 years ago,
[02:43:07.500 --> 02:43:12.140] and when I talked to him, he said, yeah, CNN is playing on the screen all over the Pentagon,
[02:43:12.140 --> 02:43:16.700] all the different rooms and everything, you know? Oh, yeah? That's a- Communist News Network.
[02:43:16.700 --> 02:43:22.620] That's right. It's very important that who you listen to, you know, and I've always tried to
[02:43:22.620 --> 02:43:30.540] listen to various sources, and I would go to the- I always preferred people who would tell me
[02:43:31.340 --> 02:43:36.620] what they think and why they think it, rather than the people who try to be this mushy middle, like
[02:43:36.620 --> 02:43:41.660] Time and Newsweek, you know? So I was always looking at The Nation or National Review or
[02:43:41.660 --> 02:43:47.020] something like that. Even though I don't support their views, I'd like to see that conflict that
[02:43:47.020 --> 02:43:51.980] was there, because a lot of times that would help me to understand where I stood on the issue. So I
[02:43:51.980 --> 02:43:56.460] try to get these people that are opposed to each other, but most people just go for something like
[02:43:56.460 --> 02:44:02.860] Time or Newsweek or CNN, and it's kind of the mushy middle that's put out there by the Mockingbird
[02:44:03.500 --> 02:44:07.500] programs that are out there for people. But that's why it's very important for people to educate
[02:44:07.500 --> 02:44:11.660] themselves, and that's a very important thing that you do at the John Birch Society. Tell us
[02:44:11.660 --> 02:44:15.660] a little bit about the John Birch Society and how it's organized at local level.
[02:44:15.660 --> 02:44:21.580] Yes, thank you. We started in 1958, and our goal is education. You know, education is really critical
[02:44:21.580 --> 02:44:27.500] for us, educating people about American values. Our job is limited government. You know, so people
[02:44:27.500 --> 02:44:32.140] call us far right. That's not true. We're actually constitutional moderates. Some form of government,
[02:44:32.220 --> 02:44:38.460] not total. All the left is all the isms. Glee, fascism, right? And our job is to teach American
[02:44:38.460 --> 02:44:44.380] Americanism. It's not taught anymore. So we have free courses online, the JBS.org, about teaching
[02:44:44.380 --> 02:44:49.420] about the Constitution. And we said, how do you elect constitutional minor representative, state,
[02:44:49.420 --> 02:44:55.900] local, or federal, if you don't know the playbook? So how do you hold them accountable? And it's not
[02:44:55.900 --> 02:45:01.020] taught on purpose. So now it becomes a personality contest. We don't want that. So we teach people
[02:45:01.100 --> 02:45:04.940] Americanism, and we give them the history, and we show them who's behind the curtain,
[02:45:04.940 --> 02:45:10.700] like we mentioned the Fabians and the CFR and who's forming foreign policy. And once people know
[02:45:10.700 --> 02:45:14.940] what goes on, that's important. We call it a conspiracy. It's not theory any longer,
[02:45:14.940 --> 02:45:21.100] but the conspiracy says this. The first goal is to deny its existence, of course. So we said,
[02:45:21.100 --> 02:45:25.500] look, let's expose them. It's not us. That's why I have a thousand books behind me, is that over the
[02:45:25.500 --> 02:45:31.020] course of time, it proves that they does exist, and they actually come out and talk about it.
[02:45:31.580 --> 02:45:36.460] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute. And I want
[02:45:36.460 --> 02:45:43.100] you to hear about love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words all the time, and they sound
[02:45:43.100 --> 02:45:49.580] good. They feel good. But here's the truth. Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into
[02:45:49.660 --> 02:45:56.140] action. And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world who doesn't
[02:45:56.140 --> 02:46:03.420] know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's any hope at all. And while
[02:46:03.420 --> 02:46:10.620] we're all busy, life keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is where you come in.
[02:46:10.620 --> 02:46:16.620] With Compassion International, you have the chance to change a child's future, not just with words,
[02:46:16.620 --> 02:46:22.940] not with promises, but with real help that provides food, education, and hope through
[02:46:22.940 --> 02:46:30.380] local churches and people already in their community. Put your words into action and join me.

[02:47:08.700 --> 02:47:15.340] It's interesting as we look through time and look through history,
[02:47:15.340 --> 02:47:21.260] I always go back to my UK experience where Otis Huxley was a Fabian. I'll go back to that for a
[02:47:21.260 --> 02:47:26.220] second to answer your question. And what happened is he was writing, this guy was a young author,
[02:47:26.220 --> 02:47:31.980] writing all the information about what he heard. He was so excited about it that he decided to write
[02:47:31.980 --> 02:47:38.140] a book. And he said, I can't use my pen name. My name is Eric Blair. I can't use that. I have to
[02:47:38.140 --> 02:47:45.180] use a pen name. So I'll think my name is George. George Orwell is really the Eric Blair. And he
[02:47:45.180 --> 02:47:51.740] wrote 1984 about the Fabians. And the question becomes, why is it 1984? Well, January 4th of
[02:47:51.740 --> 02:47:58.140] 1884 is the foundation of the Fabians. And he said, within 100 years, we have a world government.
[02:47:58.140 --> 02:48:04.220] That's why that book's titled 1984. Oh, interesting. I'd heard people say,
[02:48:04.220 --> 02:48:10.220] because he wrote it in 1948, but yeah, that's the 100th anniversary. Yeah. I don't believe it,
[02:48:10.220 --> 02:48:16.220] because he was indoctrinated by H.G. Wells and Otis Huxley about when he writes about Big Brother,
[02:48:16.220 --> 02:48:22.780] Newspeak, that's all about the Fabians. And now that's in vogue, I'm saying, hey, look, that wasn't
[02:48:22.780 --> 02:48:29.580] done as a science fiction. That was really his telling you. And he couldn't hold himself. He
[02:48:29.580 --> 02:48:35.260] said, I have to really talk about this. That's why I personally believe that's why it's 1984.
[02:48:35.260 --> 02:48:40.300] It's 100 years of existence. And of course, I mentioned the Council on Formulations is a
[02:48:40.300 --> 02:48:46.300] child of the Fabians. And now we have an American version and we have the European version working
[02:48:46.300 --> 02:48:52.460] in unison. So our job at the Birch Society is educate people what's going on to be personally
[02:48:52.460 --> 02:48:57.820] responsible to elect constitutional moderates and constitutional minded representatives,
[02:48:57.820 --> 02:49:05.260] state, local and federal, so we can monitor not only our behavior, but go back to constitutional
[02:49:05.260 --> 02:49:12.060] based law and not rule by elitists. And that's what we see today. Yeah. And so, you know,
[02:49:12.060 --> 02:49:18.060] and it's important for people to understand how many different ways they come at us in order to
[02:49:18.060 --> 02:49:23.580] set up a totalitarian government. They have so many different tactics and strategies. And of course,
[02:49:23.580 --> 02:49:26.540] one of those, I think that you're talking about Aldous Huxley and others like that,
[02:49:27.180 --> 02:49:31.740] H.G. Wells and Huxley, the technocracy that was there. I mean, talk a little bit about
[02:49:31.740 --> 02:49:36.380] technocracy as well. That's really kind of coming to us. People don't really know where to fit that,
[02:49:36.380 --> 02:49:40.940] you know, because it doesn't really fit into the left right paradigm. And yet that seems
[02:49:40.940 --> 02:49:45.340] to be on the ascendancy as well. Talk a little bit about that. Well, you know, the story about
[02:49:45.340 --> 02:49:52.860] technology, you know, but X used to be a member of the Birch Society. He said, smile a lot because
[02:49:52.860 --> 02:49:58.860] your picture gets taken about 300 times a day. That's right. More than that now, I guess. Yeah,
[02:49:58.860 --> 02:50:08.060] you go bang, grocery store, go get gas. But technocracy is a tool for monitoring and governance.
[02:50:08.060 --> 02:50:14.060] And that's why you see AI data centers and all every little thing that you've done. And they
[02:50:14.060 --> 02:50:17.660] openly said this in the Bank of International Settlements. They want to have this digital
[02:50:17.660 --> 02:50:24.380] currency where they can monitor every, any of your expenditures from a hundred dollars on up.
[02:50:24.380 --> 02:50:28.700] So they could determine by checking China, if you have a bad social score, then you're not going to
[02:50:28.700 --> 02:50:34.220] buy anything. So if you think about technology is going to be their weapon or tool to keep you in
[02:50:34.220 --> 02:50:38.940] line. That's where I see it happening. And they're doing it through a lot of different angles. It
[02:50:38.940 --> 02:50:43.580] looks kind of cool, but that's really the goal. One of the things I began the program with today
[02:50:43.580 --> 02:50:48.940] was talking about the fact that, you know, I mentioned all the time about how artificial
[02:50:48.940 --> 02:50:54.860] intelligence is really going to be a superpower for any kind of government tyranny to be able to
[02:50:54.860 --> 02:50:59.500] monitor you and everything that you're doing as you're just talking about, but also to manipulate
[02:50:59.500 --> 02:51:05.500] opinion as well. And that's why it's very concerning to me to see that this latest
[02:51:05.500 --> 02:51:12.700] executive order from Trump that essentially presumes to prohibit any state laws that would
[02:51:12.700 --> 02:51:18.380] curb things that are happening with AI companies. Because I think where that would really happen
[02:51:18.380 --> 02:51:21.740] would be with the data centers. I think it's where the big conflict is going to come.
[02:51:22.620 --> 02:51:23.180] Very true.
[02:51:23.180 --> 02:51:27.260] And, you know, that is the bottleneck for them. And that would be one of the ways that you could
[02:51:27.260 --> 02:51:32.380] limit them to buy a little bit of time to try to get some control of the situation or structure
[02:51:32.380 --> 02:51:40.380] to keep some of these things at bay. But again, to prohibit that at the federal level. And that is
[02:51:41.020 --> 02:51:45.100] in direct conflict with the 10th Amendment. And of course, the Democrats will tell you that now
[02:51:45.100 --> 02:51:48.700] because they're not in Bauer. But as soon as they get in Bauer, they don't care about the 10th
[02:51:48.700 --> 02:51:57.980] Amendment either. But it is really a real concern about this concentration of power and the, you
[02:51:57.980 --> 02:52:02.380] know, the destruction of the 10th Amendment. And of course, the enforcement mechanism that
[02:52:02.380 --> 02:52:07.900] it's going to run through is going to be to use financial carrots and sticks for people
[02:52:08.540 --> 02:52:11.420] coming out of the federal government. That's the way they always get around the 10th Amendment,
[02:52:11.420 --> 02:52:16.460] isn't it? Absolutely correct. Yes, the technocracy. That's exactly what we call
[02:52:16.460 --> 02:52:22.300] technocracy. The techno bureaucrats. That's where they use that technology, as I call it,
[02:52:22.300 --> 02:52:26.620] digital prison. That's basically where you're looking at. And that's kind of where we're at.
[02:52:26.620 --> 02:52:31.020] And that's what they're setting up, digital prison. So you can't go anywhere to do anything
[02:52:31.020 --> 02:52:34.940] within your 15-minute city, whatever you want to be, to monitor where you are.
[02:52:35.660 --> 02:52:38.620] So you lose all your freedoms. They're constantly coming up with different
[02:52:38.620 --> 02:52:43.980] justifications to take us to the same kind of Orwellian hell that they want to set up.
[02:52:43.980 --> 02:52:47.900] And that's why, you know, when you look at the Chinese communists, many times I'd look at them
[02:52:47.900 --> 02:52:52.060] and say, okay, so are they really communist anymore or are they fascist? Because they've
[02:52:52.060 --> 02:52:57.260] kind of merged economics and politics to a great extent there. And it's highly nationalistic and
[02:52:57.260 --> 02:53:01.340] all the rest of these other things. So it's important to understand all these different strains,
[02:53:01.340 --> 02:53:05.900] but then to not get boxed in by any of them. To understand these people mix and match.
[02:53:05.900 --> 02:53:10.700] They'll take whatever they can use, make these different strategies. And, you know, when you
[02:53:10.700 --> 02:53:14.220] look at them, if you were to construct a Venn diagram, it seems like they're all starting
[02:53:14.220 --> 02:53:17.900] to reach convergence instead of one little point of overlap, doesn't it?
[02:53:18.620 --> 02:53:23.500] Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, communism is just a tool. That's all it is, a tool for global
[02:53:23.500 --> 02:53:28.780] governance. It's not the be all end all. Just like any other religious things that we see,
[02:53:28.940 --> 02:53:32.780] it's got nothing to do with it at all. Matter of fact, the men who are globalists are not
[02:53:32.780 --> 02:53:37.260] communists. They're not. That's a tool. They're not fascist, but they use that mentality. But
[02:53:37.260 --> 02:53:41.500] it's all the tool for world government. It's all going to come through the United Nations. And you
[02:53:41.500 --> 02:53:48.460] see the UN. That's the center point of it all. And we have a magazine called The New American.
[02:53:48.460 --> 02:53:54.700] And matter of fact, we're actually launching it in Eric called the New European. And I can show you
[02:53:54.700 --> 02:54:01.260] this. Oh, good. Yeah. Matt here, David, these little bubble diagrams, if you can see this all,
[02:54:01.260 --> 02:54:06.140] these are all the UN offices in the world. They're not just one location in, you know,
[02:54:06.140 --> 02:54:10.780] these river in Brussels. What are these people doing all these locations? Well, you're on the
[02:54:10.780 --> 02:54:17.260] menu. That's what's going on. Imagine all those, you know, it's all over the United States. So
[02:54:17.260 --> 02:54:20.540] I'd be happy to send this to you in a new American magazine. We have this one called
[02:54:21.260 --> 02:54:27.740] The Global Power Grab. We did this one and it talks and I show this around the Australians and
[02:54:27.740 --> 02:54:33.980] the New Zealand's and UK folks and the lady in France. They were totally amazed the depth of
[02:54:33.980 --> 02:54:39.340] the United Nation, all these offices all over the world. Yes. And they're busy carving up
[02:54:39.980 --> 02:54:44.700] the world for global governance. So that's, that's where our part of our job at the Birch
[02:54:44.700 --> 02:54:50.300] site exposed what's happening through education and making the way is it's not too late
[02:54:50.300 --> 02:54:54.700] because there's more of us than them. And they know that our job, their job is to keep us off
[02:54:54.700 --> 02:55:01.500] message and looking at sports figures or Hollywood or this or that the same time they're destroying
[02:55:02.380 --> 02:55:06.380] our foundational principles of freedom. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I've had Alex Newman on
[02:55:06.380 --> 02:55:12.700] many times. I've talked to Alex and a great guy there at the New American and I've had other
[02:55:12.700 --> 02:55:17.340] people as well from the New American. It's great publication. And as you point out with that map
[02:55:17.340 --> 02:55:22.540] and you see all the different areas where they have areas of responsibility and actual physical
[02:55:22.540 --> 02:55:26.860] locations and everything, I think that's a key thing for people to understand is that it's not
[02:55:26.860 --> 02:55:30.380] necessarily going to be as you point out in Brussels when you say, well, there's the seat
[02:55:30.380 --> 02:55:36.140] of government or whatever, or the East River in New York. It really is not so much about that.
[02:55:36.140 --> 02:55:41.740] It's about global governance. It's about this network of different organizations that are out
[02:55:41.740 --> 02:55:47.900] there. And that's one of the things that I see about technocracy is really that not just the
[02:55:47.900 --> 02:55:52.620] electronic network networking that's out there, but actually the political networking that is there
[02:55:52.620 --> 02:55:57.820] and the interlocking of these different financial interests that are out there. So they can all have
[02:55:57.820 --> 02:56:05.340] their own goals and things, but it is all pushing us towards this global governance. And the
[02:56:05.340 --> 02:56:10.700] technology is really giving them power that they've never had before. That's the key thing that's
[02:56:10.700 --> 02:56:16.940] really concerning me. So we saw that with COVID-19 was a good data set beta test for them.
[02:56:16.940 --> 02:56:21.100] I had the whole world under control. I'm sure they were absolutely laughing and amazed how
[02:56:21.100 --> 02:56:26.140] easy it was to make that happen. I know. I was absolutely astounded how easy it was for them as
[02:56:26.140 --> 02:56:31.260] well. And again, I think, you know, you look at the stimulus checks and all the rest of this stuff,
[02:56:31.260 --> 02:56:37.020] that was training wheels for universal basic income, which was something that Elon Musk has
[02:56:37.020 --> 02:56:42.300] always been focused on. When you had Andrew Yang come out, said he was going to run for president,
[02:56:42.300 --> 02:56:46.540] and that was going to be his issue, the main issue. He branched out and some other things later on.
[02:56:46.540 --> 02:56:51.100] But as soon as he came out and said universal basic income, Elon Musk candid him a million dollars.
[02:56:51.100 --> 02:56:55.500] You know, he wanted him to push that idea. Well, it got pushed really big in 2020.
[02:56:57.660 --> 02:57:03.420] Well, that's all part of the program, universal income through the UN. Of course it is. The whole
[02:57:03.420 --> 02:57:08.460] job they want you to be industrious. They want you to be collective, not individualists.
[02:57:08.460 --> 02:57:13.100] And we fight collectivism. We believe in individualism, not collectivism. That's all
[02:57:13.100 --> 02:57:19.420] part of the rule. You know, there's a call to herd mentality and that's exactly what they need
[02:57:19.420 --> 02:57:24.300] to control us. It's all that's the end game is that world government and they will determine,
[02:57:24.300 --> 02:57:29.740] as I mentioned early on, we started the show, George Bernard Shaw before the eugenics committee,
[02:57:29.740 --> 02:57:35.180] who lives and who dies. And you may not have that choice. If you're a strong crowd Christian
[02:57:35.180 --> 02:57:39.340] or belief, you may not fit into it because they're amoral. They don't have any beliefs.
[02:57:39.340 --> 02:57:43.420] The state is their belief. You may not fit into their program. If you can't be indoctrinated
[02:57:43.420 --> 02:57:49.020] correctly, you may be exterminated. That's right. That's written about that. So it's these guys
[02:57:49.020 --> 02:57:56.060] play for keeps and it's serious. And our job has been to expose their plan since the late fifties
[02:57:56.060 --> 02:58:00.940] and really what they want to do. And they're very open about it. Not more so than ever because they
[02:58:00.940 --> 02:58:07.980] feel like young adults have been so indoctrinated through the universities and school that socialism
[02:58:07.980 --> 02:58:13.500] is good. Like we saw the last mayor race in New York City. Can you imagine? Yeah. Yeah.
[02:58:13.500 --> 02:58:18.140] Nothing's free. You know, schools have indoctrinated that. But then we also have the situation where
[02:58:18.940 --> 02:58:23.340] the, you know, the Gen Z people are finding it very, the kids are finding it very difficult
[02:58:23.340 --> 02:58:27.020] to find a job. Even if they go to college, they're finding it difficult to find a job.
[02:58:27.580 --> 02:58:30.940] And that is something I think that really drives this because again,
[02:58:31.820 --> 02:58:35.580] one of the things that socialism has always pushed out there, I think, is envy. You know,
[02:58:35.580 --> 02:58:42.220] they find these different at its core, I think, like Saul Alinsky, you know, dedicated his book
[02:58:42.220 --> 02:58:47.100] rules for radicals to Satan. And I think at the core of it, there's all these different satanic
[02:58:47.100 --> 02:58:53.260] appeals to the evil aspects of our nature, you know, whether it's about greed, whether it's
[02:58:53.260 --> 02:58:59.580] about envy, whether it's about hatred, racism, tribalism, all these different things. And they
[02:58:59.580 --> 02:59:04.220] identify these things and seek to exploit them with these different approaches that they take,
[02:59:04.780 --> 02:59:10.540] you know. And so that's what I think is you have to be aware of the tactics and the strategies
[02:59:10.540 --> 02:59:13.980] that are there if we're ever going to be able to defeat them. Otherwise, we're just putting in
[02:59:13.980 --> 02:59:18.620] their hands, aren't we? That's exactly and you're exactly correct. That's exactly what they do. They
[02:59:18.620 --> 02:59:24.700] pit one group against another one philosophy because it's all about conflict. It's all about
[02:59:24.700 --> 02:59:29.820] the conflict. That's critically important, but we have to identify what it is and expose what it is.
[02:59:29.820 --> 02:59:34.060] That's really important. So we know the game. It's a charades. You remember, they remember the,
[02:59:35.020 --> 02:59:40.540] the movie where we had with Julie Garland follow the yellow pick road, you know, and all of a
[02:59:40.540 --> 02:59:45.100] sudden, who's the man behind the curtain? Don't pay attention to him. Well, we expose who's behind
[02:59:45.100 --> 02:59:50.460] the curtain, you know, and that's really what it's all about. It's really a plan. It's not done by
[02:59:50.460 --> 02:59:57.580] accident. And we see a lot of Kubuki theater, but the thing is, is that we identify really what it
[02:59:57.580 --> 03:00:03.020] is. And to tell you what, it's very difficult for people to believe it because some of their
[03:00:03.020 --> 03:00:08.060] heroes of the past were not good people. And I'm sorry, folks. Or the heroes of the present.
[03:00:08.700 --> 03:00:12.540] Or the president. I mentioned about George Bernard Shaw. The guy was, you know,
[03:00:12.540 --> 03:00:16.220] thinking about that one. Well, I mean, I can go on, but there's a lot of them
[03:00:16.220 --> 03:00:21.180] and they were not who they thought they were. I mean, yeah, he wrote Pygmalion, which was then
[03:00:21.180 --> 03:00:25.980] turned into My Fair Lady, you know, the musical and the play and, you know, enjoy the music with
[03:00:25.980 --> 03:00:31.420] that. But yeah, the guy who was there. And even when you look at all these different science fiction
[03:00:31.420 --> 03:00:35.420] novels, they've basically become a blueprint for them. But when you're talking about how they like
[03:00:35.420 --> 03:00:39.740] to set up conflict between different groups, that's why I think we really need to have our
[03:00:39.740 --> 03:00:45.660] guard up about partisan politics, because that is another way they do it. They don't just do it by
[03:00:45.660 --> 03:00:52.540] race or by sex or this or that. They do it also with political factions. And, you know, when people
[03:00:52.540 --> 03:00:57.100] buy into these things and start to excuse the actions of their leaders, what they really need
[03:00:57.100 --> 03:01:02.620] to do is to look at the longer historical view and say, where were the Fabian socialists trying
[03:01:02.620 --> 03:01:06.220] to take us? You know, where were the Gramsci socialists trying to take us? Where were the
[03:01:06.220 --> 03:01:13.820] Marxists trying to take us? And if the actions of the person that's the hero of your party
[03:01:13.820 --> 03:01:20.460] is going to move us in the direction of these socialists and Marxists, they need to pull back
[03:01:21.020 --> 03:01:25.660] and say, we're not going to follow that, even though that's part of our tribe here or whatever.
[03:01:25.660 --> 03:01:27.580] I think that's a very important thing, you know.
[03:01:28.060 --> 03:01:33.740] Elections change government, but institutions change nations. That's really important. They
[03:01:33.740 --> 03:01:38.780] actually, Fabian's even said that. They also said power shifts from representation to management,
[03:01:38.780 --> 03:01:43.340] and that's where we are. No matter, you know, it's left or right, you know, on the politics scene,
[03:01:43.980 --> 03:01:49.020] the policy being set forward doesn't make a difference who runs back and forth. It's all
[03:01:49.020 --> 03:01:54.780] Kabuki theater for us because they're not setting the policy someone else is, and we identify who
[03:01:54.780 --> 03:02:00.060] they are. That's really critically important. So it's all a big game in front of us, but we have
[03:02:00.060 --> 03:02:05.340] to identify really who they are, what's happening. And that's all part of what we do, educate people
[03:02:05.340 --> 03:02:10.940] and make them aware. There's more of us than them, but our job is to wake people up. And sometimes
[03:02:10.940 --> 03:02:14.860] they don't want to, they want to hear about it. You know, our job is to wake people up and tell
[03:02:14.860 --> 03:02:20.140] them really what's going on, much like the story I gave to the UK folks about the Fabians. I said,
[03:02:20.140 --> 03:02:26.300] look, they're destroying your country on plan. It's not by accident. That's why, you know,
[03:02:26.300 --> 03:02:30.860] I question, you know, so do they still have a Fabian society that people belong to? Because
[03:02:30.860 --> 03:02:36.060] typically these things are done in secret, you know, or quietly. So you have secret societies,
[03:02:36.060 --> 03:02:40.460] you know, things like the Masons or whatever, but, you know, people will be members of this. But
[03:02:40.460 --> 03:02:44.700] I don't think, do we have a Fabian society that you have politicians that are part of here in the
[03:02:44.700 --> 03:02:51.500] U.S. or is it mainly the CFR that you'll see? Mostly the CFR. Yeah. Yeah. It's exactly what's
[03:02:51.500 --> 03:02:56.780] it, you know, it's a, it's a, it's more what it's a partner of with the Fabian. So back to Cecil
[03:02:56.780 --> 03:03:01.900] Rhodes and Lord Milner and, and, you know, Woodrow Wilson took command of house. They had this
[03:03:01.900 --> 03:03:06.220] thing called the inquiry back in the 19 hundreds or so, and they, they formed this group and they
[03:03:06.220 --> 03:03:11.180] want the United States and council for relations born in 1921, and they're going to set foreign
[03:03:11.180 --> 03:03:16.060] policy up, march through, through David Rockefeller. And today you have members of the
[03:03:16.060 --> 03:03:22.380] cabinet, 40, 50% of the people in presidential cabinets were part of the CFR. I had Clinton,
[03:03:22.380 --> 03:03:26.700] Eisenhower, all those guys were all involved in the CFR. They knew exactly what was going on. So
[03:03:26.700 --> 03:03:32.300] they were tearing the water for the CFR policy group. And that's exactly what goes on. So it was
[03:03:32.300 --> 03:03:38.380] all, it looked good, you know, but reality is, uh, one of the stories that goes this way. Hey,
[03:03:38.380 --> 03:03:44.060] it's Ben Ferguson. And I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion
[03:03:44.060 --> 03:03:50.220] really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization
[03:03:50.220 --> 03:03:56.460] called compassion international. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a
[03:03:56.460 --> 03:04:03.260] nice idea. Sure. But I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[03:04:03.820 --> 03:04:09.020] I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[03:04:09.020 --> 03:04:14.860] going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the healthcare and education
[03:04:14.860 --> 03:04:21.820] she needs to reach her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light
[03:04:21.820 --> 03:04:28.460] of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[03:04:28.460 --> 03:04:35.900] compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally
[03:04:35.900 --> 03:04:42.220] a child's life, change the world. And you also change yourself. You can sponsor child today,

[03:05:18.940 --> 03:05:24.540] every year of several years we have an election. It's like when you're in high school,
[03:05:24.540 --> 03:05:27.820] you know, the president of the student council. Remember those back in high school?
[03:05:30.940 --> 03:05:34.860] Yeah. And by the way, I'm going to have longer lunch hours. We're going to have less homework.
[03:05:34.860 --> 03:05:38.940] Right. And all of a sudden they get elected and they're like, who's running this show?
[03:05:38.940 --> 03:05:43.340] The superintendent of the principal high school. It never happened. And that's it. Sorry. With the
[03:05:43.340 --> 03:05:48.140] CFR, we have a beauty contest, which is a public, you know, either presidential election or
[03:05:48.140 --> 03:05:53.420] congressional. And then who's running a show behind the scenes. It's really, it's really those
[03:05:53.420 --> 03:05:59.500] groups, those unelected bureaucratic officials or unelected divide. And we expose what they are.
[03:05:59.500 --> 03:06:05.740] We have that book called the shadows of power. Another book that we published years ago called
[03:06:05.740 --> 03:06:12.460] the shadows of power exposes the council on foreign relations, war one, war two,
[03:06:12.460 --> 03:06:18.620] Korean, Vietnam, how they all morphed into all part of the plan. That's called the shadows of
[03:06:18.620 --> 03:06:24.060] power. So we know we did. So the Fabians is freeways about the Fabians. The shadows of power
[03:06:24.060 --> 03:06:29.100] is about the council on foreign relations. And once people look at history, they get pretty angry
[03:06:29.100 --> 03:06:35.020] because they know it's all been a theater for not for us, but for them. Yeah. And they play the game
[03:06:35.020 --> 03:06:39.260] to make it look like you're running the show, but you're not. You're just a victim of the
[03:06:39.260 --> 03:06:45.420] globalist plan. I agree. And when I think of the John Burr society, you guys have done a great job
[03:06:45.420 --> 03:06:49.900] of educating people about the council on foreign relations, the CFR stuff. And yet we still have
[03:06:50.780 --> 03:06:57.020] these people run for office. And I think you'll see them proudly list that as part of their CV,
[03:06:57.020 --> 03:07:01.900] you know, that, yeah, a member of the council on foreign relations. And it surprises me.
[03:07:02.860 --> 03:07:08.860] It's like, yeah, I'm part of this satanic group over here. But it's, you know, they see it as a,
[03:07:09.260 --> 03:07:15.980] because it really does have a lot of, um, um, uh, Panache or whatever, or clout in Washington,
[03:07:15.980 --> 03:07:21.420] to be a member of that club. And they're proud of it. And, uh, we need to call them out on it.
[03:07:21.420 --> 03:07:26.540] We need to understand the history of it. And we need to understand really just how, uh, evil the
[03:07:26.540 --> 03:07:30.780] actions have been and how that has really been there. So I guess in the UK, they still have
[03:07:30.780 --> 03:07:36.140] people who are part of the Fabian society, but here you'll see it in the CFR and they'll be
[03:07:36.140 --> 03:07:40.300] doing the same type of thing. Yeah. Bill Clinton was a member. Madeline Albright was a member.
[03:07:40.300 --> 03:07:46.060] Robert Rubin was a member of being Cohen, Larry Summers, George W. Bush was going on. Leah Rice,
[03:07:46.060 --> 03:07:50.700] Colin Power, Robert Gates, Henry Paulson, Barack Obama was president, described a candidate
[03:07:50.700 --> 03:07:56.300] to be Gaithered, Susan Rice, you know, John Bolton, Henry McMaster, and Mike Pompeo. I
[03:07:56.300 --> 03:08:01.820] don't know. I want you to see what's going on here. So they're there in strategic locations to,
[03:08:01.820 --> 03:08:07.660] to monitor and steer public policy. That's what it's going on. So when you see this,
[03:08:07.660 --> 03:08:13.980] we hear the song, Garza was Democrat, Republican. You get to the same place all the time. That's
[03:08:13.980 --> 03:08:18.380] the key. And I remember when Reagan got elected, people were excited. Oh, look, he's not CFR,
[03:08:18.380 --> 03:08:22.540] you know? And we, I can't remember the last time we had a president that wasn't CFR. And yet what
[03:08:22.540 --> 03:08:26.860] he did was he put CFR people in all the different positions around him, you know?
[03:08:27.420 --> 03:08:31.100] That's exactly. Well, Trump, Trump is not a member of the CFR. I can tell you that. So he's not a
[03:08:31.100 --> 03:08:36.620] member. But he's got people around to make sure he doesn't get too far off the script, although he
[03:08:36.620 --> 03:08:42.460] does. That's right. I think what Trump is really as much as anything, it's the technocracy because
[03:08:42.460 --> 03:08:47.820] these guys are writing the checks there. I'm very concerned that, you know, we all know now what the
[03:08:48.620 --> 03:08:56.940] CVDC is. And yet I think the same thing can be accomplished with a stable coin and they can make
[03:08:56.940 --> 03:09:01.980] a lot of money putting the stable coin out there at the same time. So it's one way they can get
[03:09:01.980 --> 03:09:06.780] rich. They can get rich off of that or they can't get rich off of the CVDC. And since everybody's
[03:09:06.780 --> 03:09:11.340] kind of wise to the game of the CVDC, they don't realize that stable coin is still going to have
[03:09:11.340 --> 03:09:17.900] those capabilities to be able to turn off your ability to trade and do other things like that.
[03:09:17.900 --> 03:09:22.220] Tell us a little bit about the John Burr Society. I mean, I know you guys have had a lot of fights
[03:09:22.220 --> 03:09:26.380] and that. Have you been hit with any kind of debanking or stuff like that? Because, I mean,
[03:09:26.380 --> 03:09:32.140] I have. And I've been kicked off of PayPal and Venmo and other formats like that because
[03:09:32.940 --> 03:09:38.060] of things that I was saying in 2020 about the lockdown and the pandemic and the vaccine,
[03:09:38.060 --> 03:09:43.020] climate change and all the rest of stuff. Are you seeing that kind of debanking and
[03:09:43.020 --> 03:09:50.860] deplatforming in various places? Yeah, well, sometimes we say that we get too much of truth.
[03:09:50.860 --> 03:09:54.620] YouTube will take us down for a while or something like that and we'll come back on again.
[03:09:55.580 --> 03:10:01.020] You know, we don't have that issue with banking, per se, but they ignore us because they don't need
[03:10:01.020 --> 03:10:05.900] attention. We get attacked, you know, we start to grow. So they try to pretend we don't exist any
[03:10:05.900 --> 03:10:10.540] longer. Yeah, that's when I first learned of the John Burr Society was when William F. Buckley was
[03:10:10.540 --> 03:10:15.660] on a tear with an actual view to come after you guys. Well, I think I agree with these guys and
[03:10:15.660 --> 03:10:28.060] I'm with Buckley. So he's a CFR member, by the way. Probably CIA as well. He was a good guy,
[03:10:28.060 --> 03:10:32.940] right? Yeah, sure. You know, his organization exists today. Don't listen to those guys over
[03:10:32.940 --> 03:10:38.540] there. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's why he was a good guy. That's why MPR had him on. That's right.
[03:10:38.540 --> 03:10:44.700] Yeah, right. We wrote a book about that called the Pied Piper of the Establishment. We wrote
[03:10:45.340 --> 03:10:49.820] Jack McMaster, our past president. You may have known him. He wrote the book about Buckley and he
[03:10:49.820 --> 03:10:55.900] was, you know, he was all put together to make sure that he steers the conservative movement,
[03:10:55.900 --> 03:11:00.300] their direction of the CFR, in which he was a member of the CFR. So, you know, it's like,
[03:11:00.300 --> 03:11:05.740] you know, as I said, it's not matter who, it's all controlled, you know, and he was control
[03:11:05.740 --> 03:11:10.300] opposition. He's a very poster child for that, isn't he? Absolutely correct. And people still
[03:11:10.300 --> 03:11:14.780] hold him up as he was something, you know, super conservative. He was not. Yeah. I remember, you
[03:11:14.780 --> 03:11:21.180] know, Rush Limbaugh really analyzed him. I was like, man, you don't realize who this guy is?
[03:11:21.180 --> 03:11:28.860] That's kind of telling. But anyway, it really is a great organization and I really do appreciate
[03:11:28.860 --> 03:11:38.220] what you guys do. And again, the quiet ideology reshaping policy from London parlors to D.C.
[03:11:38.220 --> 03:11:44.380] power. Is that a book or is that an article? Because that's how I found out about about you.
[03:11:45.260 --> 03:11:48.780] It sounds like the Fabian Freeway. That's what it sounds like. OK, that's the subtitle.
[03:11:50.860 --> 03:11:56.140] The JBS has been around for a long time. We have area chapters. We educate people on the voting
[03:11:56.140 --> 03:12:01.740] record of their representatives. And so we try to encourage people to be active participants
[03:12:01.740 --> 03:12:07.020] in the process. How do you change your representative, David, is if you don't understand
[03:12:07.020 --> 03:12:11.420] the Constitution or at least go visit them and say, why did you vote unconstitutionally?
[03:12:11.420 --> 03:12:15.980] So we have this thing called the scorecard. We print it out every quarter and it talks
[03:12:15.980 --> 03:12:20.700] about the voting record. Constitutionally, we pick them on Congress, you know, the Senate,
[03:12:20.700 --> 03:12:25.660] as well as the House, where they are. So people know if they're voting in Constitution or not.
[03:12:25.660 --> 03:12:33.100] And it's our personal responsibility as Americans to uphold their representative's work for us
[03:12:33.180 --> 03:12:37.820] and say, hey, why are you voting this way? And would they have not? I mean, representative
[03:12:37.820 --> 03:12:43.500] called me said no one ever very rarely calls me on the phone and talks about anything.
[03:12:44.140 --> 03:12:49.420] And so we can't it's not, you know, we can't sit back. And I said, and one day we have a
[03:12:49.420 --> 03:12:53.180] handsome young conservative show up in Congress. It doesn't happen that way.
[03:12:53.900 --> 03:13:01.180] So my biggest goal is fight complacency in Americans and it's life is too good.
[03:13:01.900 --> 03:13:05.500] And even though the economics today is hurting them, now they're listening,
[03:13:06.300 --> 03:13:11.420] but life is too good and they have to, you know, we have to get behind and spend a little time
[03:13:12.060 --> 03:13:17.580] protecting our sovereignty and our freedoms. But we have to know who we are first. And that's
[03:13:17.580 --> 03:13:22.460] what we try to teach Americanist principles and hold up representatives who work for us to make
[03:13:22.460 --> 03:13:28.220] sure that happens. I agree. Yeah. And that's what I liked about the John Bush society was the focus on
[03:13:28.860 --> 03:13:34.700] local activism as well. And you know, knowing what is happening locally in your state as well. And
[03:13:34.700 --> 03:13:39.100] I've seen what you're talking about in terms of representatives who say nobody ever calls me.
[03:13:39.740 --> 03:13:43.740] I saw the power of that. And I've talked about this on the program. When I lived in North Carolina,
[03:13:43.740 --> 03:13:50.060] I was involved with homeschooling. And at that point in time, all of North Carolina's government
[03:13:50.060 --> 03:13:55.740] was Democrat, Democrat House and Senate, as well as the governor and all the rest of stuff. So the
[03:13:55.820 --> 03:13:59.020] they decided the teachers unions decided that they're
[03:13:59.020 --> 03:14:03.900] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute. And I want
[03:14:03.900 --> 03:14:10.780] you to hear about Alejandra. She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to
[03:14:10.780 --> 03:14:17.500] no health care. So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options, no doctors
[03:14:17.500 --> 03:14:24.860] in their community and no money for real medical care. By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[03:14:24.860 --> 03:14:32.140] She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom, I can't take the pain anymore. I can't keep going.
[03:14:32.700 --> 03:14:39.340] Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything. But she needed a private hospital.
[03:14:39.340 --> 03:14:45.900] And that was impossible for her family to afford. And that is when compassion international stepped
[03:14:45.900 --> 03:14:53.500] in. Now through compassion, Alejandra was treated. And against all odds, she survived. She lived
[03:14:53.500 --> 03:14:59.260] because someone just like you took action. Right now, unfortunately, there are children
[03:14:59.260 --> 03:15:05.900] just like Alejandra, who won't survive unless someone like you steps in. Compassion International
[03:15:05.900 --> 03:15:12.380] partners with local churches, providing children with the support that they need, critical medical
[03:15:12.380 --> 03:15:21.340] care, plus food, education, and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus name. So help a child just
[03:15:21.340 --> 03:15:29.740] like Alejandra today. You can visit compassion.com. That's compassion.com. What's going on, Texas? It's

[03:15:59.180 --> 03:16:03.820] homeschooling and it looked like they were going to be able to do it because it was all Democrats and
[03:16:05.500 --> 03:16:10.540] an active minority of homeschoolers, which was really small at the time. There wasn't a lot of
[03:16:10.540 --> 03:16:15.580] people homeschooling. There's so many more who are doing it today, but everybody got actively
[03:16:15.580 --> 03:16:20.700] involved and started writing and it made them look so much bigger than they actually were
[03:16:20.700 --> 03:16:26.140] and actually beat down the teachers unions in a Democrat state that were going to try to
[03:16:26.140 --> 03:16:32.540] regulate homeschooling out of existence. And so that is a, was a very important firsthand lesson
[03:16:32.540 --> 03:16:35.660] to learn, but it's difficult to get people to do that. And that's one of the things that John
[03:16:35.660 --> 03:16:41.740] Birch Society does, I think is excellent, which is to educate each other about what is happening
[03:16:41.820 --> 03:16:47.500] locally within your state and, and how you can take action at a local level. I remember my,
[03:16:48.220 --> 03:16:53.420] probably my earliest memory of the John Birch Society was the support your local sheriff stuff,
[03:16:53.420 --> 03:17:00.380] being concerned about the federalization and of the police. And that is something that is now really
[03:17:00.380 --> 03:17:05.100] escalating, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. We actually have a, we have that group. It still exists
[03:17:05.100 --> 03:17:09.500] called support your local police. We want to keep them independent of federalized. We have a group,
[03:17:09.500 --> 03:17:14.860] we have an affiliate not-for-profit called support your local police. And we also have a,
[03:17:14.860 --> 03:17:20.300] you mentioned school with the homeschool. We've been existing for 15 years called the Freedom
[03:17:20.300 --> 03:17:26.300] Project Academy. It goes from kindergarten to high school. We have live, you know, education,
[03:17:26.300 --> 03:17:32.060] of course, online, or you can buy a recorded version of it. And that's been around. So we're
[03:17:32.060 --> 03:17:39.900] educating all over the world. Adults are having their children sign up to learn really Americanism,
[03:17:39.900 --> 03:17:48.380] who we are, not fabricated history. And we teach you how the kids how to write cursive and do math
[03:17:48.380 --> 03:17:53.420] or read books. How about that for a change? And so we, you know, it hasn't happened in a public
[03:17:53.420 --> 03:17:59.260] school, I can tell you that. And we spent more time in education than social, emotional learning.
[03:17:59.260 --> 03:18:02.460] But the thing is, and it goes, you mentioned Alison, we wrote a lot of books about that.
[03:18:02.460 --> 03:18:07.980] But the thing is, is that so we look at education, our children, our adults, bring the bring it to
[03:18:07.980 --> 03:18:13.260] view really who we are, what we're all about, because we've been indoctrinated. And we know
[03:18:13.260 --> 03:18:18.220] that brainwashing has existed through all the mass media, David, all the mass media, as you know,
[03:18:18.780 --> 03:18:22.060] very well, because you're in the media business. That's all controlled by the Council on Foreign
[03:18:22.060 --> 03:18:26.300] Relations. Every one of the New York Times, the other networks, including Fox News,
[03:18:26.300 --> 03:18:32.300] is all controlled media. And they all say the same thing, same deal. So guess what? That's the
[03:18:32.300 --> 03:18:36.780] only thing you hear. That's the only thing you believe. So we said, no timeout, let's talk about
[03:18:36.780 --> 03:18:42.060] reality here. And it's hard for some people to swallow. But once you've been red pilled,
[03:18:42.860 --> 03:18:47.980] all of a sudden, the world changes. Like, now I see what's going on here. So our that's our job in
[03:18:47.980 --> 03:18:52.460] the Birch Society with kids with school, you write about the law enforcement want to keep them
[03:18:52.460 --> 03:18:57.900] independent. We teach the Constitution, we get people involved. It's about education, get people
[03:18:57.900 --> 03:19:03.580] activated and evolve. That's really important. I absolutely agree. And that's how we save our
[03:19:03.580 --> 03:19:09.500] country, as well as the people over in England. They see the problem now because they're watching
[03:19:09.500 --> 03:19:14.460] their country be destroyed. And I mentioned the Fabians we first came on, because that's coming
[03:19:14.460 --> 03:19:19.260] to tractions for the United States. What you see in Europe is coming to tractions for here. Oh,
[03:19:19.260 --> 03:19:25.100] yeah, just delayed just a little bit. Yeah, it's a warning. That's right. Yeah. And so, you know,
[03:19:25.100 --> 03:19:29.260] getting back to the federalization of the police, you know, we look at these things and we say,
[03:19:29.900 --> 03:19:35.340] okay, even if you like the guy who's doing it, and even if you agree with the stated goal,
[03:19:35.340 --> 03:19:40.140] you have to look at this and say, Yeah, but that policy is going to establish a precedent
[03:19:40.140 --> 03:19:45.820] of the federalization of law enforcement. And so I know where that leads, right. So we pull this
[03:19:45.820 --> 03:19:53.180] back. Okay, so let's walk this back. And we have to oppose this, even if we agree with the stated
[03:19:53.180 --> 03:20:02.940] purpose, that's the wrong way to do it. And it is so important that we not sacrifice the, you know,
[03:20:02.940 --> 03:20:07.980] that the means does not, it's not just that the end does not justify the means. That's how these
[03:20:07.980 --> 03:20:13.420] people always get us there. And it's understanding those principles and what America is about,
[03:20:13.420 --> 03:20:17.020] understanding the Constitution and what that's about, and why those things are there,
[03:20:17.660 --> 03:20:23.180] those important safeguards against tyranny, and understand that if we wipe those things away,
[03:20:23.180 --> 03:20:28.780] because it's going to make it more expedient for us to achieve this particular policy goal,
[03:20:29.740 --> 03:20:34.140] we are going to pay the price in the long run, aren't we? Nationalized police force is one of
[03:20:34.140 --> 03:20:39.340] Marx's, one of Karl Marx's plan. And so that's what we're trying to avoid, keep them local and
[03:20:39.340 --> 03:20:44.620] independent. Your sheriff is a very important person in your county, very important person.
[03:20:44.620 --> 03:20:50.140] And I always, I encourage people to know who the sheriff is and talk to them and making sure that
[03:20:50.140 --> 03:20:55.580] you understand, they understand about America's principles and our rights. And they have, you have
[03:20:55.580 --> 03:21:01.020] to know who the sheriff is so they know who you are, much like legislators and state legislator.
[03:21:01.020 --> 03:21:07.020] You know, go back to our basics of our country. Our United States were formed as independent
[03:21:07.020 --> 03:21:12.780] states, sovereign states. Over a period of time, David, that we've given, the states have given
[03:21:12.780 --> 03:21:17.900] power from themselves to the federal government. That's not the way it was supposed to operate.
[03:21:17.900 --> 03:21:23.340] The government's supposed to defend us against public and domestic enemies, you know? And that's
[03:21:23.340 --> 03:21:27.500] very limited powers. Look at Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, very limited powers
[03:21:27.500 --> 03:21:32.380] Congress has, right? And government, and so we have actually given more power to the federal
[03:21:32.380 --> 03:21:37.340] government, why it's all upside-side and distorted today. So we spend time with our local
[03:21:37.340 --> 03:21:42.860] legislators in each state to make sure they uphold the constitutional responsibility. Each
[03:21:42.860 --> 03:21:48.140] state has a constitution. The word democracy does not exist. It's always a republic. That's
[03:21:48.140 --> 03:21:52.060] all another thing we teach people. That word does not appear in our constitution or any state
[03:21:52.060 --> 03:21:57.820] constitution. And people don't even know that. And I said you have to understand states are sovereign.
[03:21:57.820 --> 03:22:02.220] Make sure you make, this is where it begins. So if you look at our history,
[03:22:02.220 --> 03:22:06.940] it was done with that phenomenal idea that keep them sovereign independent states. So
[03:22:07.900 --> 03:22:12.540] those basic things I just said to you, most Americans I talked to do not understand that.
[03:22:12.540 --> 03:22:18.620] Yeah. That's right. They absolutely do not. And it's so important that we
[03:22:19.580 --> 03:22:23.580] understand the foundation of the principles and why these things were set up the way they were.
[03:22:23.580 --> 03:22:27.660] Actually, it's a good plan, even though the constitution has been completely
[03:22:27.660 --> 03:22:31.900] violated. It's still a good plan and we should try it someday in our lifetime, I think.
[03:22:33.500 --> 03:22:36.380] It's like the Ten Commandments, not the Ten Suggestions, you know?
[03:22:36.380 --> 03:22:40.780] That's right. And the constitution, you have to know it before you can uphold it.
[03:22:41.820 --> 03:22:46.940] And everybody, whether they're local or state or especially federal, they take an oath to the
[03:22:46.940 --> 03:22:53.260] constitution as a requirement of their authority. And so when they violate that, they no longer
[03:22:53.260 --> 03:22:58.140] have any legitimate authority, but they do have a lot of power. And so we need to understand that
[03:22:58.140 --> 03:23:02.300] we can have power collectively. And that's one of the things I think the John Birch Society does
[03:23:02.300 --> 03:23:07.420] bring to the table. Thank you so much for joining us. It's been a fascinating discussion, Mr. Morrow.
[03:23:09.180 --> 03:23:14.060] Thank you, Wayne Morrow, the CEO of the John Birch Society. Always great talking to you guys.
[03:23:14.060 --> 03:23:16.940] We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. We'll talk a little bit
[03:23:16.940 --> 03:23:21.660] about what's going on with cars here in just a second. So we'll be right back. Stay with us.
[03:24:23.260 --> 03:24:37.660] You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[03:24:38.860 --> 03:24:44.780] Hey, it's Ben Ferguson. And I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion
[03:24:44.780 --> 03:24:50.940] really feels. A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization
[03:24:50.940 --> 03:24:57.180] called Compassion International. Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need. It was a
[03:24:57.180 --> 03:25:03.980] nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[03:25:04.540 --> 03:25:10.460] I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, going from
[03:25:10.460 --> 03:25:15.580] starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education
[03:25:15.660 --> 03:25:22.620] she needs to reach her God given full potential. I got to be a part of that change and the light
[03:25:22.620 --> 03:25:29.260] of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me. That is the power of
[03:25:29.260 --> 03:25:36.780] compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us. Feel it for yourself and change literally a
[03:25:36.780 --> 03:25:43.020] child's life, change the world. And you also change yourself. You can sponsor a child today.

[03:27:27.020 --> 03:27:31.580] Welcome back folks. We got a lot of comments and Jersey Boy, thank you so much for the support.
[03:27:31.580 --> 03:27:34.780] He says, can you please ask if he was ever heard of William Cooper who wrote,
[03:27:34.780 --> 03:27:38.540] Behold a Pale Horse? I'm sorry, I didn't see that comment in time. I'm sorry.
[03:27:39.340 --> 03:27:43.180] And does he know about Jimmy from Brooklyn who JBS interviewed,
[03:27:43.180 --> 03:27:49.420] who I'm trying to get on your show? Okay. Well, I'm sorry I missed that. I'm very sorry.
[03:27:49.420 --> 03:27:53.820] Yes, apologies. Owen 61, thank you so much for the support. He just says,
[03:27:53.820 --> 03:27:56.300] thank you. Well, thank you, Owen. Appreciate it.
[03:27:56.300 --> 03:28:01.180] Yes, thank you so much. And Jersey Boy again says, I remember a few years ago from JBS an email,
[03:28:01.180 --> 03:28:07.260] history of, and I need to, history of Republicans, it was started by a communist. Does he know what
[03:28:07.260 --> 03:28:13.580] it was and what does he think of JFK? You know, it's interesting. A book I really enjoyed
[03:28:14.860 --> 03:28:19.820] was an alternative history book by Harry Turledove. He's written a lot of alternative
[03:28:19.820 --> 03:28:25.980] history books and this one was about the Civil War. It's called How Few Remain. And in it,
[03:28:25.980 --> 03:28:31.820] you know, you may know the history that Antietam, as bloody as the battle was,
[03:28:34.540 --> 03:28:40.460] nearly was, could have been a victory for the South except that one of the couriers dropped
[03:28:40.460 --> 03:28:46.620] the orders that he was carrying and they fell into the Union's hands. And so in his book,
[03:28:47.740 --> 03:28:50.860] the guy said, hey, you dropped those orders, better pick those up. Can you imagine what
[03:28:50.860 --> 03:28:56.300] would happen if the other guy's got that right? And so that causes an early end to the war.
[03:28:56.940 --> 03:29:03.580] And pretty much all the major figures of both North and South survive. And the
[03:29:05.260 --> 03:29:13.660] causes early end of the war and the South to gain its independence. And in his alternative history,
[03:29:13.660 --> 03:29:20.140] Lincoln is entirely discredited because he lost the war. But then he makes a comeback as this
[03:29:20.140 --> 03:29:25.420] book is picking up a couple of decades on at that point in time. I think he's got Stonewall
[03:29:25.420 --> 03:29:31.900] Jackson as the president of the Confederacy. And Lincoln makes a political comeback as head
[03:29:31.900 --> 03:29:36.300] of the Socialist Party. And that's one of the things that made that book so interesting was
[03:29:36.300 --> 03:29:42.780] he really did understand these people, what motivated them and the things behind them.
[03:29:42.780 --> 03:29:48.860] And so yeah, there was an early connection with that. And if you look at, always think
[03:29:48.860 --> 03:29:53.660] about the Pledge of Allegiance that was put in by the Grand Army of the Republic. Most of the
[03:29:53.660 --> 03:29:58.940] veterans, especially if they were well known or successful or played an important part in the war,
[03:29:59.660 --> 03:30:04.700] they got very big positions in the subsequent governments that were there. And the Grand
[03:30:04.700 --> 03:30:11.020] Army of the Republic, which was the organization of Civil War veterans for the North, had a
[03:30:11.020 --> 03:30:15.980] tremendous amount of influence. They were the ones who instituted the Pledge of Allegiance.
[03:30:15.980 --> 03:30:22.780] And it initially did not have under God in it until the mid 1950s. And so the emphasis was on
[03:30:22.780 --> 03:30:30.620] one nation, indivisible. And that, you know, very harsh with that. And the Pledge was done
[03:30:30.620 --> 03:30:37.980] with one arm extended out, palm down, just like the Nazi salute. They changed it to hand over
[03:30:37.980 --> 03:30:45.180] your heart because of the Nazi salute. But yeah, socialism and a lot of other things were there.
[03:30:45.180 --> 03:30:51.980] And as well as the concentration of power, really talking about the destruction of the states as
[03:30:51.980 --> 03:30:56.780] sovereign entities and the understanding that the states had created the federal government,
[03:30:56.780 --> 03:30:59.900] all that stuff disappeared with the Civil War. Go ahead.
[03:31:01.340 --> 03:31:06.620] We have username 0123456789. AI will be kosher and DEI.
[03:31:08.620 --> 03:31:14.220] Nibuduru, 2029, says we have the best government money can buy. And that's a quote from Mark Twain.
[03:31:15.980 --> 03:31:24.060] And they spend more and more every single day. Pezzonovante, 1776. Ask the guest his take on war,
[03:31:24.060 --> 03:31:27.660] Gaza, Trump's anti-Semitism, czar, and the Heritage Foundation's Project Esther.
[03:31:27.660 --> 03:31:29.660] I apologize. I didn't see that. Yes.
[03:31:29.660 --> 03:31:31.180] The conversation was too good.
[03:31:33.100 --> 03:31:37.420] Guard Goldsmith says, curiously, people often claim Marx was focused solely on economics,
[03:31:37.420 --> 03:31:40.860] but his entire worldview was cultural based on envy and hate.
[03:31:40.860 --> 03:31:46.380] Yeah. Conflict, yeah. Like going in dialectic. That's why, you know, we have to look at the
[03:31:46.380 --> 03:31:51.660] different ways that they divide us. You know, it was very explicit what Bill Ayers and Bernadine
[03:31:51.660 --> 03:31:59.100] Dorn, the weathermen, wanted to do. They wouldn't have a race war. Marx focused, the thing about
[03:31:59.100 --> 03:32:06.300] economics was there, but that was really a class struggle, right? And the economics was a part of
[03:32:06.300 --> 03:32:11.580] that class struggle. But it's always about dividing us. And that's why he said, you know,
[03:32:11.580 --> 03:32:16.780] we have to be very careful about the Republican versus Democrat thing, any kind of division
[03:32:16.780 --> 03:32:23.100] that they can use like that. And when we attach ourselves to a different ethnic group or different
[03:32:23.100 --> 03:32:29.500] political group, these different types of things, those attachments draw us away from the principles
[03:32:29.500 --> 03:32:34.460] that can be the bulwark against this kind of socialist hell that they want to put us in.
[03:32:35.260 --> 03:32:40.380] Yeah. And Mama C 1996 says, I never learned so much as when I was homeschooling my kids.
[03:32:41.020 --> 03:32:46.140] That's right. That's right. That's excellent. And that was the thing that I really missed about it.
[03:32:46.140 --> 03:32:51.420] That was, that was where I put all of my effort before I had the show. As a matter of fact,
[03:32:51.420 --> 03:32:57.820] that was at one point, it was kind of bothering me because I was filling in for Alex at the very
[03:32:57.820 --> 03:33:00.780] beginning. He said, you know, there's going to be millions of people listening to you. I said,
[03:33:00.780 --> 03:33:07.900] don't tell me that right now. But because I was not very much into public speaking or anything
[03:33:07.900 --> 03:33:12.380] like that. And I said, no, the way I think of this, and that was in his original studio,
[03:33:12.380 --> 03:33:16.860] which was really small and intimate. I said, the way I think of this is I'm talking to the
[03:33:16.860 --> 03:33:20.780] guys over there running the board. I could see them. And I said, I'm just thinking like I'm
[03:33:20.780 --> 03:33:25.340] doing homeschooling with my kids. So I said, don't talk to me about millions of people
[03:33:25.420 --> 03:33:30.860] listening. That'll freeze me up. So that's the way I always looked at it. And it was such a
[03:33:30.860 --> 03:33:38.220] wonderful thing because it gave us an opportunity to go back and look at content that was compelled
[03:33:38.220 --> 03:33:45.340] on us in the schools and to, to view it in a different way. And that's one of the things I've
[03:33:45.340 --> 03:33:50.460] always said about biology and evolution. You know, when it's taught to us in the schools,
[03:33:50.540 --> 03:33:56.540] it was always dumbed down into skeletons and death, right? For the evolutionists, death
[03:33:57.420 --> 03:34:04.380] is the thing, the engine of creation. For us, it is the giver of life. And we didn't look at
[03:34:04.380 --> 03:34:11.100] comparative anatomy of skeletons. We looked at the unique design of each and every animal. And that
[03:34:11.100 --> 03:34:15.980] was a thing that was so fascinating. So it really is a blessing and an opportunity. I hope if you
[03:34:15.980 --> 03:34:19.500] have the opportunity, you take that to homeschool your kids. Have a good day. Thank you.

[03:34:26.220 --> 03:34:31.340] In the metaverse, we're going to need AI that is built around helping people navigate virtual
[03:34:31.340 --> 03:34:37.420] worlds, as well as our physical world with augmented reality. Augmented reality is a profound
[03:34:37.420 --> 03:34:43.580] technology. It includes like your position in 3D space, your, your body language, facial gestures.
[03:34:43.580 --> 03:34:50.860] We invented new intimate ways to connect and communicate directly from your wrist.
[03:34:51.580 --> 03:34:57.100] Everything from virtual reality to designing our own data centers. Describing what's coming even,
[03:34:57.100 --> 03:35:00.860] it's just so different and new. I've been in this infrastructure business for, you know,
[03:35:00.860 --> 03:35:06.380] three decades. No one has ever seen infrastructure like this. Now I expect that these trends will
[03:35:06.380 --> 03:35:12.060] only increase in the future. In the last few months, we launched voice and vision capabilities
[03:35:12.060 --> 03:35:15.260] so that chat GPT can now see, hear, and speak.
[03:35:19.660 --> 03:35:26.780] Ports up to 128,000 tokens of context. That's 300 pages of a standard book. That's all AI generated.
[03:35:27.980 --> 03:35:30.780] Actually, let's add in some alto cumulus files.
[03:35:34.140 --> 03:35:39.260] All right. Break free of the technocratic nightmare this Christmas and go back to basics
