Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 18th of October, Year of Our Lord 2023.

Well, today we're going to take a look at this latest atrocity that's gone around the world. Somebody, somehow, whether deliberately or by accident, killed probably about 500 people and counting by hitting a hospital in Gaza. And so we're going to take a look at the repercussions of that as well as other things happening in the Middle East. But there are major repercussions now finally for pfizer and there's an argument to be made that perhaps they will go bankrupt because of fraud and it's not just my guests that i talked to last week with former feds group saying they were able to penetrate the prep act by alleging fraud

there is an excellent case for fraud as someone else makes who does isn't even aware of that legal victory already stay with us we'll be right back Well, Joe Biden was going to go to the Middle East and go to Jordan and a lot of other places and meet with Arab leaders because of what is happening between Israel and Hamas. But that now has ended because you've got thousands of protesters at the embassy in Lebanon. Remember Lebanon? I mentioned it this last week, talking about Ronald Reagan. I said he had the good sense to just leave. And it was not weakness, it was strength.

It was good sense to leave. He didn't need to prove that he was a macho man with that. Again, there's a lot of stuff about Ronald Reagan that is very disappointed in, and I've said so over and over again. The promises to get rid of the Department of Education, one of the big vexations of this country right now, where all of this stuff in the schools is being pushed out by the money coming from the department of education incentivizing this stuff

that's why just like with the pandemic it was the cash the cash that trump was sending out was the foundation of it i couldn't people kept arguing no it can't be trump it's not trump it's the the democrat governors the democrat governors that he's paying. It's the hospitals. It's the hospitals that he's paying. It's everybody that he's paying. That's the way Washington operates. And so the Department of Education should have been shut down. Instead, Reagan grew it into adulthood and many other things in terms of the deficits and other things like that.

Ron Paul resigned in disgust. He had been one of the first supporters of Ronald Reagan that. Ron Paul resigned and discussed. He'd been one of the first supporters of Ronald Reagan because Ronald Reagan was a great communicator. It wasn't like Trump. He didn't insult people. That's the only thing Trump's got going for him. That's why this gag order is such a big deal for him. But now he's complaining about the gag.

And so he can insult the gag order and raise money that way uh but uh you know ronald reagan was a great communicator he had great policies when he was running as a candidate ron paul was the first person to endorse him in congress in 76 when he was running against gerald ford then after a few years of Ronald Reagan being in, the deficits and all these other turnarounds, which is, again, this is what I've seen all my life with presidents. That's why, you know, when it was being done with Donald Trump, it's like, okay, same game again.

They promised this and that, and they do just the opposite when they get in. But what was unique about Trump was 2020. The absolute traitor and mass murder of this guy. Anyway, so when you look at that, getting back to what happened in Lebanon, this is in Beirut where the 200 or so Marines were killed in the barracks there. Reagan said, let's get out. Now you've got thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters

descended on the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon, set fires. Military members unleashed gas and smoke to push them back. Somebody crawled over the barbed wire topped fence that's there, took down the U.S. flag, put up a Palestinian flag, setting fires again uh when we look at this lebanon is one of the clear examples of why nobody in the area wants palestinians egypt said no you had the german prime minister go to Jordan and the King will you take the Palestinians no I'm not gonna take them Egypt's not gonna take it why because

they've seen what happened to Lebanon when they took the Palestinians and so now they said it's unclear if any embassy people have been hurt, but what is clear is that Biden is not going to be going anywhere except to Israel. They said they don't know. They couldn't at the point in time this was done. They didn't know if it was the old embassy or the new one that cost over a billion dollars. Because if you're the American government and it doesn't cost a billion dollars, what's the point of even bothering with it, right? You think about this. Everybody complains about the foreign aid that we give to Israel, which is 3.8 billion.

This embassy building was 1 billion. And we don't have very many Americans going to Lebanon for obvious reasons. And then you look at what they did with LGBT promotion, 4.1 billion. I mean, you know, we don't even, for Everett Dirksen, you know, a million here and a million there. Pretty soon you're talking about real money. We don't even talk about projects that are a million dollars. They're nothing anymore. Objectors complained about the price tag, about the size of it, because again, so few Americans travel to Lebanon.

About 6,000 Palestinians were sheltering in this hospital that was hit. And it's funded by the Anglican Church, even though it is now called the Baptist Hospital. Interesting story about that. We'll get into that later. Anyway, it happened just hours before Biden was supposed to leave. And so they canceled the summit that was going to be held in Jordan. But he's still going to go to Israel. But that's the only place he's going to go to. And there's a lot of questions about why such a large military buildup by the United States. Two carrier groups?

What is the real agenda here? Many people, especially Moon over Alabama, which does excellent military analysis, has quoted a lot of other people saying, we don't think this is gunboat diplomacy. We think they're angling for something else. An IDF spokesperson, the Israeli Defense Forces, said said intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicate that Islamic jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza. Now, there's been a lot of pushback on that.

And I'll give you both sides of this. But I'll just say this. We're not going to solve this mystery any more than we're going to solve the conflict over Palestine palestine and uh over israel this conflict between palestinians and israel and we're not going to solve this either necessarily i mean i've seen some videos and i'll show you the videos uh that would indicate one way but can we even trust the videos? Are the videos what they purport to be? You see, this is what happens in war. This is why the very first thing I said was,

we need to be very careful about starting war, and we need to be very, very careful about escalating it, and we will always have atrocities and all this stuff. Now, that's not to excuse or equivocate what the Palestinians did when they went and deliberately targeted civilians. But of course, the Israeli government, the American government, every government has deliberately targeted civilians. This has been something that has now been standard practice since World War II. The Germans had massive civilian bombing campaigns to break the will of the people,

but it had just the opposite effect, didn't it? Isn't that surprising? And then we retaliated with Dresden and other places, massive civilian bombing campaigns to just level the place. It truly is an atrocity, and it's why we need to do everything that we can to try to minimize it and end it as soon as possible. The Israeli army earlier on Tuesday said the hospital was a highly sensitive building, not an IDF target. They urged everyone to proceed with

caution when reporting unverified claims of a terrorist organization. But the World Health Organization, Tedros there, who is nothing other than a politician, he's a Marxist politician as a matter of fact, he, you know, we condemn this attack. In other words, he's not, by saying it's an attack, he's not buying the line from Israel that this was a Hamas missile that went bad and crashed into the hospital. So protests are breaking out all across the Middle East. Hundreds of people join in protests in Beirut, Amman. Angry crowds gathered outside the Israeli embassy there. In Tunisia, they gathered outside the French embassy. In Lebanon, the Hezbollah there said the attack reveals

the true criminal face of this entity and its sponsor, the United States, which bears direct and complete responsibility for this massacre. We have Mark Levin, who is totally unhinged. I'm not talking about America. America's not involved in this. Oh, yeah, you've made sure we are. You've made sure we are.

And our people have made sure we are. And if you go back and you look at the history of this, just again, yesterday I played for you Netanyahu. Video after video where he's bowing and scraping to his World Economic Forum Davos Masters about what a great job he's doing, getting everybody in his country vaccinated. How he's using them as lab rats, admitting that in video to Davos. He has also been right there every time we need somebody to back us up on a war in the Middle East. He was telling everybody in 2002 that Saddam was this close to getting nuclear weapons.

Because, you know, we knew they had weapons of mass destruction. So we had to go in and we had to eradicate him. He was pushing that. And then he pushed going after Iran. I remember he went to the UN and he had his little, uh, uh, thing there. Um, his little bomb is acne bomb, uh, road runner movies and a coyote. Uh, he had his acne bomb picture and, you know, bomb picture to explain to everybody what Iran was doing. They were making one of those.

We need to go. First, we've got to take out the Iranians, and then we've got to take out Acme manufacturing. No, seriously, he's been there to push whatever the military industrial complex, whatever the CIA and the Mossad want. Every war, he has been there. He's like Lindsey Graham or Johnham or john mccain or nuki haley

let's let's nuke everybody let's kill everybody let's have a war always the same people pushing this netanyahu is israel's nuki haley uh so what is happening in the hospital? Horrified doctors stood amongst a sea of children killed after a massive blast tore through the hospital in Gaza. Fears more than 500 people are dead. Scores are trapped still under the rubble. The huge explosion tore through the hospital in Gaza City. Palestinian officials say the horror explosion was caused by an Israeli defense forces IDF airstrike. While officials in Israel insisted that it was a result of a failed rocket launched by the terrorist group, Islamic Jihad,

not Hamas, but Islamic Jihad. So, um, they said, we're squeezing five beds into a single tiny room. We need equipment. We need medicine.

We need beds. We need everything. Uh, they said i think gaza's medical sector will collapse within hours in a press conference doctors stood in the sea of dead children who've been brought in from the stricken hospital holding some of their faces to the camera to show the horror that had befallen them the israeli military blamed the explosion on islamic jihad a smaller more radical palest radical Palestinian militant group that often cooperates with Hamas against Israel. The military

in a statement said a barrage of rockets was fired at terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit. So, again, we look at this, and we'll look at the back and forth, the evidence that we have with it, but again, we're not going to solve this. I would just say that just as we saw in Syria, time and again, you had Nuki Haley, Theresa May, many others, uh, trying to put, uh, Ivanka Trump tugging on her daddy's sleeve, trying to get us involved in a ground war in Syria. And it was like three years in a row, a third year, they had, uh uh the skripal poisoning in london but for two years prior to that they had

as always in the spring and it was always as um the syrian army was about to uh win in a particular city massive bombing campaigns people being killed all over the place, but they would claim the one thing that would have brought international troops in would have been the use of a chemical weapon. And so that's what they claimed. I forget about the fact that people were smothering to death because it was, there was so much destruction with the buildings that they were choking to death on the smoke. And that's really what happened. And then a white hat, you know, these people who are allied with intelligence agencies in the West came in and said, it's chemical gas. And everybody starts to freak out. But they were the ones who did that.

We had doctors who said that. People looked at the forensic evidence. It took a while. But you could pretty much tell from the beginning, why would Syria do this? As they are on the cusp of victory in this city that they've surrounded and bombarded, and they're, you know, just before they move in, they have to add the coup de grace of a chemical weapons attack, the one thing that would bring everybody else in against them. Of course, they're not going to do that. And so when you look at this and you say, well, whatever happened,

whether it was an accident from Islamic jihad or whether it was an accident from the IDF, I don't think anybody would deliberately do this. Now, maybe I just have a hard time believing how evil these people are. They can dismiss it from that standpoint. But I think from a strategic standpoint, not even from a good or evil standpoint, but just from a strategic standpoint. Yeah, clearly when you go back and look at Syria, do they want to kill everybody in that

area? Fine. They're willing to do that. So it isn't about human life, but it's about how this is going to be perceived by other people from a strategic point of view, from a strategic point of view. I don't think that anybody would do this deliberately. That's just my opinion on all this.

And we can talk about whose rocket it was, but I don't think anybody did this deliberately. Again, this is why you don't take war as lightly as Nikki Haley, Newky Haley, and Lindsey Graham, and John McCain, and all the rest of these people, Netanyahu included. You're always going to wind up with stuff like this, and Biden, you know? You're always going to wind up with stuff like this. And Biden, you know, you're always going to wind up with stuff like this. Justin Bronk, a senior research fellow in air power and technology at the Royal United Services Institute,

said video of the explosion did not match the type of weapons that Israel typically uses. On Twitter, he said, for what it's worth, this doesn't look or sound quite like an airstrike using the typical iaf 1000 pound or 2000 pound jdam to me incoming projectile sounds like it is underpowered and the explosion frames visible look like largely propellant fire rather than high explosive detonation. Nevertheless, everybody in the Arab world believes that it was Israel's missile. They believe that it was deliberate. All right, they're saying that.

Egyptian president said, I condemn in the strongest terms Israel's bombardment of the hospital. Iran said the flames of U.S. Israeli bombs will soon consume the Zionists. And again, I mentioned Tedros at the World Health Organization, all of them blaming it as a deliberate attack. Now, I just read for you the analysis on Twitter from somebody who works for the Royal United Services Institute,

in other words, part of their military industrial corporations. Here's a sound analysis by somebody else. A person who is anonymous. We don't know who that person is on Twitter. But they put this up and they contrasted the sound. Again, same thing this guy was doing. Listen to the sound of these two things. I'll play the videos.

I've got the sound of a JDAM missile. And they've got the sound of these two things. I'll play the videos. I've got the sound of a JDAM missile. And they've got the sound of a Hamas rocket. First, the JDAM missile sound. Now, this is a JDAM. Bombs out. Bombs away. Get ready to go. I'll get my barbed wire.

I'll get my barbed wire. Shake it. Now, that's the hospital again that's the jdm hospital okay so they're saying all right um if that is the video of the hospital. I don't know. I don't have any way to verify that. See, we have to be very careful with this stuff. How many times have people been caught saying,

you know, with the Ukraine invasion and other stuff like this, you know, look at this, Russia's coming in. It's like, this is from an air show a couple of years ago, eventually you find out. And people can put up video clips, but you don't know the provenance of that and the ability to authenticate it. So clearly we see there that he shows an explosion.

Now, again, I'll play this. He shows an explosion after he plays the JDAM sound. There's a JDAM. And then after this explosion, you'll hear what purports to be the explosion at the hospital okay so that other one it was clearly in the city that was happening i don't know if that it was dark so you hear that sound you hear an explosion is that was happening i don't know if that was it was dark so you hear that sound you hear an explosion is that the hospital i don't know now he also said this is what a haas rocket or not.

I don't have any way to tell any of this. Just as I don't have any way to tell if that was the hospital that was hit there. Clearly, those are sounds of two JDAM missiles. But again, how do we verify that? On the basis of that, you've got a lot of people, information liberation says, well, that's it. You know, that proves that it was Israel that did it. Israeli government on Tuesday also, however,

deleted a video where they claimed that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and not Israel was responsible. So there were two other things. They put up a video, put up some tweets saying that there was Islamic Jihad. And then there was somebody who has been involved with the Israeli military who said, yeah, we took out the hospital because you had people there that were using that as a base. And this has been a strategy of the Islamic fighters. Like I said, they don't wear uniforms. They hide amongst the civilian population, and they will even go into sensitive places like mosques and hospitals and use that as a base to attack people.

So when you hit those buildings, they can use that as propaganda. So that is also something that has happened. But that was put up. They said, yeah, we took this out because they were attacking the hospital. And then they took that down and they took down their video

that they claimed was proof that it was an Islamic jihad. Like I said, we're not going to solve this. So the sound analysis was from a Twitter user called Lord Bebo. Again, anonymous. But he has also, as Information Liberation points out, has beat the New York Times to major stories. But that doesn't mean that this is true, necessarily. The IDF's Hananya Naftali initially hailed the strike in a now-deleted tweet, claiming

Israeli Air Force struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital in Gaza. That's what she put out. A multiple number of terrorists are dead, said Naftali. Naftali, it's heartbreaking that Hamas is launching rockets from hospitals, mosques, schools, and using civilians as human shields. Hamas is ISIS, she said. And then she deleted it. But of course, Twitter being Twitter, people had already grabbed that

and they put it back out said why'd you delete your initial tweet you've already confirmed that netanyahu has put you on as an official israeli task force to control the narrative online this means that you get information from israeli intelligence before the media does and so um then they released a video claim they documented the moment that an islamic jihad rocket had misfired and hit a hospital in gaza but the time stamp did not line up on that and they then removed it so first you have somebody who is involved with the israeli defense force saying they were using it as a shield and we took it out. Then they take that down. Then they put up a video that says that it is Islamic jihad. And people said, well, that time stamp doesn't fit.

Again, anybody can put up any video and claim that it's from this or from that or that. That war or another war. And that's why, as I said, we're not going to solve this. We're not going to know really who did it now we do know that israel bombed a school that was run by the un in the middle of a refugee camp just recently and we do know there's going to be a lot more of this kind of stuff as long as this war goes on so hundreds have been killed in this camp and still under the rubble, many of them. The hospital is housing hundreds of sick and wounded and also people, 6,000 of them, who have been forcibly displaced from their homes because they didn't have anywhere to go.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says what is taking place is genocide. Isn't it interesting that, you know know that term genocide was first used in armenia about the uh the turks who are coming after the armenian christians there and as all this stuff is happening nobody is talking about what is going on with azerbaijan in armenia as well in the little enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, where the Armenians have been now for about a century, after Azerbaijan kicked out most of the rest of the Christians except for into Armenia. But that has been the place that they have focused on, is Nagorno-Karabakh,

and they have essentially pushed everybody out of that. There's pictures of them raising their Azerbaijan flag there. Nobody is talking about that war at all. It's completely being ignored. As radical Islamists are attacking Christians. And pushing them out of a small enclave. You know, kind of what is happening in Gaza. And they're not interested in stopping there either.

They're interested in going after all of Armenia. But we're not interested in that genocide. It reminds me of what goes on in China. You know, when you look at people, you know, talking about the Uyghurs and how they're being abused by China, the Muslim victims, the Uyghurs, right? Do they talk about what they're doing to Christians? No. No. For some reason, if it's done to Muslims, it becomes top news. Or if it's done to Muslims, it becomes top news. Or if it's done to Jews, it becomes top news. But if it's done by Muslims or by Jews, it's not news if it's done to Christians.

And there are a lot of Christians in that area as well. As a matter of fact, Chuck Baldwin said, I've been to Israel and Palestine. I preached in two churches there. One was in Bethlehem, the other in Jerusalem. He said over 95% of the Christians in attendance at these places were Palestinians, not Israelis. And so, again, you know, we're very selective in terms of what we're interested in. The problem is war is not very selective in terms of who it kills, is it? That's why, again, we need to do everything we can to try to end it as quickly as possible.

Slow to start it, quick to end it, and try to minimize it. That sums up the just war thing as well as I can. But, um, so the hospital, again, it's a Baptist hospital. It said is run by the Anglicans.

This goes back to 1882. And it was actually the Anglican Episcopal church that built it, um, um, in 1882. And, um, uh,

then, uh, it was taken over by the Baptists in 1954, run by them for about 30 years, and they changed the name to Baptist Hospital. Then it was taken back by the Anglican Episcopal Church in Jerusalem. They didn't bother to change the name. That's why the confusion about that.

And this was not the first time that the hospital had been bombed, said the Archbishop of Canterbury. He said on Sunday, he said it had been hit with rocket fire and they had four staff that were injured. Not a big one like this, but it's been going on for quite some time. So what is this war really about? What is the bigger issue here? Because as I said before, we have seen, um, we've seen Netanyahu always there as a handmaid of American foreign policy to intervene in the Middle East, whether it's in Iraq, whether it's in Iran, whether it's in Syria, he's always been there pushing the war, just like Lindsay and Nuki at home.

And so Moon Over Alabama has an interesting idea about what this is really about, maybe, in terms of the overall reaching from an American standpoint. And we're going to talk about that when we come back. I'm going to take a quick break, and then we will get into what Moon over Alabama says they believe the real issue is. We'll be right back. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

All right, let's talk about Moon over Alabama. They have an interesting idea about what this is all really about. The U.S. deploys a large force and the eyes are on Syria. Syria. The U.S. has recently moved way too many troops in the Middle East to be of peaceful purpose or to simply deter others from action. So who is it intending to fight? Last week, the U.S. deployed the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford and its strike group to the eastern Mediterranean. The USS Ford carries about 80 combat aircraft, electronic

warfare, intelligence planes, accompanied by five advanced missile-guided ships armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles capable of hitting targets inside Iran, and on and on and on. You know, it's not just a single ship, of course. It's a vast armada and a carrier group. And the task of most of these is to protect the carrier, right? So if this is gunboat diplomacy, why so much of this? Because there's two of them, right? One of them should be sufficient. But two of them, how many aircraft carrier groups

do we have? 11. So this is two out of our 11. That's 18%, about one-fifth of them right now, right there, on their way or there already. Second one is on the way, the Eisenhower, as I pointed out yesterday, not quite ready, so much for military readiness. So why two of them? Since the Hamas attack on October the 7th, the U.S. has dispatched a large number of jets to the Middle East. A squadron of F-15E strike Eagle bombers based in Britain was deployed, redeployed near the Jordanian capital of Amman. Another squadron of A-10 attack aircraft has also been deployed there. An impressive airlift to Israel should be added to this lift. According to online aviation tracking websites,

at least 11 U.S. C-17 heavy transport aircraft landed over the past 10 days at Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport and an Israel Air Force base at Nevatim. So 2,000 troops, they admit, are going, but that's not the biggest number. It's actually more than 4,000. They said if these 2,000 troops that are going there for advising and for medical support and that type of thing, Moon over Alabama says, well, these troops are probably not relevant unless they get in harm's way and they get killed.

But he said, uh, there are real combat troops that are going, not those 2000, but another 2,500 Marines from the baton amphibious ready group of the USS baton, the USS Carter hall, uh, already there. And he says, I agree with this guy. He posted this at Will Shriver. He said,

so a large amphibious assault flotilla will join the two carrier battle groups assembling in the Eastern Mediterranean. Many believe that this is just power projection, posturing, you know, gunboat diplomacy. Don't try anything. You know, uh, posturing, gunboat diplomacy. Don't try anything. He says, I find that explanation to be deficient.

This is a war fleet. And he said, Hamas is not its target. On Sunday, 60 Minutes interview, Biden said, besides the boasting that I played for you about how we are the most powerful force in the world, as a matter of fact, the most powerful force in all of history. What happened to Nebuchadnezzar and other people like that making those kinds of boasts? Anyway, on Sunday in 60 Minutes, he was asked, would you support Israeli occupation of Gaza at this point? Biden says, I think that'd be a big mistake.

And then Scott Pelley, he goes on to say, Biden stammers around. He says, we, but going in, but taking out the extremists, the Hezbollah is up north, but Hamas down south. Necessary requirement. So we try to parse that stammering uh but we're going in right going in going in where well maybe he says extremists in hezbollah in lebanon uh so scott paley says we believe israel would pursue the two-state solution after what has occurred biden says not not now, not now, not now, but I think Israel understands that a significant portion of Palestinian people

do not share the views of Hamas and Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a powerful Islamicist, again, militia? No, terrorist group. Call a terrorist group a militia so that you can demonize Americans at the same time. There are two Israels north, which is armed and trained by Iran. So Scott Bailey says, so there's limited fighting already in northern Israeli border. I wonder, what is your message to Hezbollah and its backer, Iran? Biden, don't, don't, don't, don't.

So Bailey has to try to fill in the missing gaps of Biden's brain. So you're saying don't come across the border? Don't escalate this war? Yes, that's right, says Biden. Now, there's Moonover Alabama's analysis. He said if they attacked Hezbollah with 100,000 missiles, they'd wind up destroying Israel. So he says, I don't believe that Hezbollah in Lebanon is a real operational target that Biden has in mind.

Hezbollah cannot be deterred from attacking Israel, he says. If it wants to, if it needs to, it will do so, inevitably. It has hidden its forces and weapons either underground or within the population of Beirut. Again, that's their tactics. There's also the fact that the last U.S. intervention in Lebanon infamously ended with a lot of dead Marines and an embarrassing retreat from the country. Again, I was not embarrassed by that retreat.

It was, you know, again, we need, I think, to disengage from being the world's policeman. But, of course, Biden is absolutely not on board with that idea. Iran says moving over Alabama, another potential target, is too difficult to attack. It can effectively retaliate over a large area, causing huge damage to any U.S. installation in the Middle East. They could also hike oil prices, would hike oil prices, at a time when the Biden administration is urgently trying to any U.S. installation in the Middle East. They could also hike oil prices, would hike oil prices, at a time when the Biden administration is urgently trying to lower them because you've got an election coming up.

People love to have this after the election, being excused to shut down all oil forever, perhaps. Anyway, he says, that's why I believe the real aim of this buildup is to finally regime change Syria and to kick out the Russian forces who are there in support of its government. And he has a tweet from Israel Radar. Israeli warning to Hezbollah. IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins the war.

U.S. warships will support Israel in war. And so he points out, he said, you know, we've had a lot of Israeli bombing attacks on Syrian airports since it started. Aleppo, remember Aleppo? Does Gary Johnson remember Aleppo? But it's indelibly etched into his memory. So what do you think about Aleppo? Aleppo, but it's indelibly etched into his memory. So what do you think about Aleppo? Aleppo, Damascus, disabling both of them. That points into this direction, he said.

And there's been not a single hit into those airports, but multiple ones. He says the neoconservative lunatics in the White House may well think that they now have a chance to eliminate Russia's presence in the Middle East. They may see this as revenge for their loss in the Ukraine war, saving face, that type of thing. So perhaps that is what this is about. Who knows? But of course, you know, I guess maybe we should call them neolibs in the White House. We got neocons who want to have war everywhere.

We have the neolibs who want to do it as well. As I said before, the King of Jordan told this Olaf from Germany, no, we're not going to take refugees from Gaza. He poured cold water on the hopes that somebody would, you know, grab this hot potato and make it their own. He says, I think I can speak here on behalf of Jordan, but also for our friends in Egypt. This is a red line. No refugees to Jordan. Also no refugees to Egypt, said King Abdullah. This is a situation that has to be handled within Gaza and the West Bank, and you don't have to do it on the shoulders of others, he said.

But Nuki Haley has been pushing to have us bring the Palestinians in. What is it that this genius Nuki knows that the people in Jordan and Egypt and Lebanon don't know. As I said before, they've seen what happened when massive numbers of Palestinians went into Lebanon, just destroyed that country. But Nuki Haley was pushing to resettle Palestinians across the United States. See, she's crazy and dangerous in a number of ways. And there was an interesting back and forth, which I won't get into, between her and Ramaswamy in the debate.

And he's kept up the attack, and he's completely doxxed her in terms of her deep connections to the military industrial corporatocracy and how she has profited how she's given special favors as governor of south carolina then joined the board of the military industrial company that she gave all these special favors to. Now she's made millions and millions on this kind of stuff, as corrupt as they come. You want to know why Newky Haley pushes every war? Because she's in the pocket of these people.

And he did a great job of exposing her. But now she's backtracking after suggesting that we need to resettle Palestinians across America. And she said, I believe that those in the region should take them. I've said that about Syria then. That's why Jordan and Turkey took the bulk of refugees there. And I think honestly that Hamas sympathizing countries should come and take these Gazans now. There's no reason for any refugees to come to america

my record is very clear on that so she's now reversed herself right uh she um after pushing it and as i point out on breitbart she's done this type of thing many times but again here's somebody who really, she was at the United Nations. Did she not learn anything there about geopolitics? She wanted that on her resume. Oh yeah, I was a governor and I was there at UN and I know all these different countries. You don't know anything about what's going on, lady. You just do what the military industrial corporations tell you to do.

Reminds me of the music man. You got to know the territory. Got to know the territory. She doesn't know the territory. But I know what she's selling. Haley's record is one of a changing perspective. Not charming. Changing perspective.

On refugee resettlement from the most dangerous regions of the world. Breitbart pointed out three days after the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, France, where seven Islamic terrorists killed 130 people. Nuki Haley was one of only nine Republican governors who continued to support Obama's plan to resettle Syrian refugees in the U.S. Everybody else said no. Then, three days later, she came out against Obama's Syrian refugee resettlement program. Before she was against it, just like right now. Also in 2015, December, she criticized then candidate Donald Trump's plan to travel ban from countries that had vast Islamic terrorism problems. In other words, countries that Obama was currently at war with.

Yeah. So anyway, she called that absolutely un-American, unconstitutional and an embarrassment to the Republican Party. Well, I think that's a self-description. Nikki Haley is absolutely un-American, unconstitutional, and an embarrassment to the Republican Party. Then by March of 2017, after Trump chose her to be UN ambassador, she said she actually supported the travel ban.

So she's all over the place on everything. But there was this interesting post on Substack by Emil Kierkegaard. He said, Palestinians in your country, what should you expect if they come into your country? He said, Denmark did an experiment in 1992. And this is what they found. They decided in 1992 that they would give 321 rejected Palestinian asylum seekers extraordinary residence permits granted directly by parliament by a special law these people have been followed since then

to see how this experiment went so here's the data as recently as 2019 so they had 321 palestinians they brought in uh 270 of them were still there in 2019 the rest had either left the country or they were, had died because we're talking about a, you know, a 20, um, about a, uh, well, just under a 30 year period here. Right. Uh, so 16% of them are gone, uh, of the 321, 204 of them, or 64%, had received a serious fine or jail time with a crime. 71% of them had been given jail time. They did not include any traffic issues.

So this isn't even stuff like, you know, drunk driving or something like that. These are actual, you know actual crimes that they commit. 64% of them committed serious crimes or got jail for this. A very large proportion of them are on welfare. Actually, 61% of men on welfare. 75% of women on welfare after 20- know, 20, 20 plus years, nearly 30 years of their 999 children, about a thousand, 34% of them have been convicted for serious crime and a large portion of them are also on welfare. And so he says, so why do you get such bad outcomes?

And he goes, and remember that this is not even including 16% of them who either died or left the country. So the numbers are actually even, percentages are actually even higher from the original people that were brought in, perhaps. He said, why such bad outcomes? And he said, well, it's kind of interesting that in Palestine, they did, in 2011, they took a sample of 257 children between the ages of six and 11 and a half years. And they looked at their IQ and it was 85. other study in 2012, 654 boys and 604 girls between the ages of five and a half and 11 and a half

attending elementary schools in Gaza, the mean IQ of the 13 age groups was 74.8, even lower. We all know that low IQ is highly correlated to crime. Number one, you don't have a lot of options as to what you can do for a living, I guess, but you're also dumb enough to think that you can commit a crime and get away with it all the time. So Denmark doesn't track ethnicity or race. The immigrants are classified by country of origin, and most of them were classified as Lebanese, because again, that's the only country, largely it was a prosperous Christian, mostly Christian country that accepted them, and was destroyed by that. Completely destroyed by letting the Palestinians in. And this is, you know, everybody else in the region learned from that. Saudi Arabia is not going to accept them.

Nobody's going to accept them. 34% of the 30 to 64-year-old immigrants from Lebanon were employed in professional work in 2015. Only 34%. 66% were not. Typically, people who are of Danish origin, 80% were working. The Palestinian migrants, only 34% were working. And that's much lower than the employment rate for other immigrants.

It doesn't have anything to do with the immigration stuff as much. They have 35 large immigrant groups in Denmark. And the only groups out of the 35 that had lower rates than the Palestinians were the Somalis and the Syrians. Syrians. Syrians that, you know, Nikki Haley wanted to bring in. So anyway, when you look at the unemployment rate, when you look at the incarceration rate,

and you look at the welfare rate, again, 61% of the men on welfare, 75% of the women on welfare. And then we look at, but we're not going to look at, I'm not going to play the GoPro footage showing Hamas going door to door in Israeli homes. You can see them shooting people and in one of these videos you see one of their killers being shot himself rolling on the ground and you know in agony and then the camera turns up to the sky i did see that one but you know uh i just don't like to watch this stuff um and so if somebody else wants to find fault with some of these videos but looked authentic what i saw of it uh meanwhile weapons maps and material captured by israeli defense forces show hamas invaders had planned to fight far deeper into israeli territory

and then we have the ivy league professors, I talked about the fact that, according to Marxist theory, this violence is a very empowering thing. Because they see all this as anti-colonialism. And so you have an Ivy League professor at Cornell University. His name is Russell Rickford. And somebody recorded him as this stuff was breaking, I think, on the first day on Saturday. He was talking about how the terror attacks on Israel

were exhilarating. They were energizing. Yes, again, this is their basic, this is what they truly believe. And why is that important? Well, because it's not just about the Palestinians. It's about the black lying Marxist BLM. It's about the Antifa people. It's about our universities in general and what they're training students to do. You have to understand and prepare for the fact that these people are just waiting for their opportunity to loot,

to kill, to burn, destroy, to tear society down. And they feel that they are entitled because they see Americans as colonizers. They see Israelis as colonizers. But of course, you could trace it back. Every civilization is a colonizer. Every civilization. You've always had mobility. You always had Native American Indians.

They didn't stay limited into one area. They were fighting each other. They had wars. They had atrocities. They had slavery. They had attack on civilians and children. They raped women as part of war. This is something that's gone on throughout history

in every civilization. There's not a single civilization that hasn't expanded using war and other things like that. Russell Rickford, again, associate professor at Cornell. What's he associate professor of? World War II African-American political culture, transnational social movements, and what he calls the black radical tradition. And, of course, he's a card-carrying member of the Democrat Socialists of America, a Marxist. And so he says, what has Hamas done? Hamas has shifted the balance of power. Hamas has punctured the illusion of invincibility. That's what they've done.

You don't have to be a Hamas supporter to recognize that. This is the standard Marxist take. And we talked about the psychiatrist who said that. And there was, in that article, it pointed out there was only one Marxist who took him to task for saying that. He said, in your own psychiatric studies, you've got cases of people who took recrimination against others, and they're haunted by it now. They committed acts of terrorism that they thought were justified because there had been

acts of terrorism against their own family, and yet they can't live with that. But Rickford, this academic, Marxist academic academic says it was exhilarating. It was exhilarating. It was energizing is, and if it weren't exhilarating by this challenge, this monopoly of violence, by the shifting of the balance of power, then they would not be human.

I was exhilarated. It seems to have a limited vocabulary for a college professor. Uh, it's one word that he keeps using over and over again. And then the crowd began chanting, from the river to the sea, Palestine will soon be free. A Palestinian slogan that has been there for a long time. Israelis themselves are protesting, protesting the BBC,

angry that they refused to call what happened terrorism. And look, you know, if you're targeting civilians, and we've already seen that happen, whether it was in the hospital or not, we've seen civilians targeted for bombing campaigns, whether you target civilians and do it house to house, person to person person or whether you do it from remote control uh it is still terrorism to use bombs and rockets to kill civilians as well that's what i'm saying i'm not taking sides in this thing uh there's enough death and blame to go around everybody frankly but i thought it was interesting that mark levin is talking about the Samson option. I thought, the Samson option? So is he talking about the fact that Samson in the Bible pretty much lived his entire life in defiance of God's rules and law?

And suffered the consequences of that? A captive, a slave his entire life to his lust. Very much like our society, isn't it? And eventually that lust and his disregard for what God told him to do caused him to become enslaved, have his eyes put out. They used him as a spectacle. And then one day he asked a guy to take him to the support pillars in the temple.

And he got his strength back. And he pushed down those pillars and killed everybody inside. So God still used him. Even though his life was tragic, characterized by rebellion to God in every aspect of his life. Sad story. And, you know, but he was able to kill a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. And if you want to kill a bunch of Palestinians, maybe the ass that you want to get is Mark Levin. Because he's jawboning about war

just like all the rest of these chicken hawks out there. And so, you know, he can jawbone us into this war. But he's talking about something different with the Samson option. He's not talking about, well, you know, we've tried that. We've all lived our life in rebellion to God. No, he's talking about about let's just destroy everybody, ourselves included. You know, the Samson option

is kind of like their mutual assured destruction option. It's just as crazy as mad. And it has been mentioned before he started talking about it. You know, he's angry, so angry in this clip I saw him on with Fox News. So angry he was short of breath. He couldn't talk.

Just beside himself. If Israel is going to face annihilation, you think they have those nukes there to collect dust? If you're a country with that type of weaponry, your people are going to be slaughtered as they were, except this time totally destroyed. They need to be thinking about all their options. And so, you know, the option of doing this, I don't know that he used the term Samson option.

But I think that Shapiro did, at least using the mutually assured destruction. This is coming from informational liberation, which is very anti-Israel. So you have to, again, kind of look at the lines and say, I have a quote here where they actually said it was a Samson option. And I just don't have the time or patience to set to Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin's rants about this stuff. So anyway, before this was's ran, at least, uh, people said, uh,

it's Israel's plan to create a nuclear Holocaust and destroy all the civilization. If their state is ever threatened with destruction, uh, not just, you know, the, uh,

Arabs that attack them. And it includes destroying pillars of the world like European capitals. Well, I don't really know what would be gained by that i don't know if that is the samson option or not but israeli military historian martin van creveld says israel possesses hundreds of atomic warheads which could be fired at europe if its existence is threatened most european capitals are targets for our air force he said i would just say this you know we've seen this back and forth uh putin you know back to the wall as nato is encroaching

on him and said you know well we've got nuclear weapons it never really does anybody any good just talk about that kind of stuff uh anybody who does i think rightfully comes off as an unhinged madman, and their cause is damaged by that as well. But again, whether or not that's what is in mind there. Just remember that Mark Levin is one of the biggest supporters of a constitutional convention to destroy our constitution. He doesn't put it that way, but that's exactly what a constitutional convention would do. Who would be at a constitutional convention? The current politicians that we've got, Democrat and Republican, you trust them. They won't obey the constitution they've got.

They despise it. They reject the fundamental principles. Biden rejects the fundamental principles of natural law and God-given liberty. I don't trust these people who are unfaithful oath-breakers to the Constitution. I do not trust them to rewrite the Constitution in any way, shape, or form. But he's written books on this the so-called liberty amendments book uh so um again um i it's at the point where i don't even you know between him pushing the vaccine and telling trump you know don't let mine take credit for your vaccine you

got to take credit for your vaccine and ben shapiroiro said, my wife is a doctor. You all need to get the shots. I'm, you know, the rest of this stuff. I mean, I put them in the same category as I do any of the other people who pushed this stuff on us. You know, I got this letter from a listener and I just wanted to read this to you because I think a lot of us are in this situation. You know, things look very dark, don't they? And, you know, we're looking at all this bad stuff. I bring you a lot of bad news. Let's put this in perspective here. He said the first two and a half years of, this is from Scott.

He says the first two and a half years of COVID war were traumatic and stressful to me in ways that it would be hard to articulate. Yeah, I guess, you know, I felt the same way. And I tried talking so much. I talked, you know, three hours a day. I tried to articulate how horrible it was. And yet I couldn't quite get there as to how I felt about it. He said, the damage the COVID war and my lack of compliance with it caused my life is truly profound.

I guess most of us feel that way. Yeah. As I would resist COVID war dictates, I would make a point to tell everyone how they were being deceived and that they, like me, needed to resist. Looking back, I can't think of one person who woke up as a result of my preaching. I felt that way as well. And especially, you know, even the people around me. That I knew, knew better. I knew they were pushing this fear campaign so they could make record profits, Alex.

Mike Adams. That was even worse. It's one thing to go into a motel or restaurant and everybody's all maxed up and telling you you got to wear a mask and getting into an argument with them saying I'll never do business in this restaurant again. That was one thing. But the traders that I worked with, that's quite something else. And doing it, covering for the guy who was doing it to everybody, Trump.

I understand it. I understand it. You know, by the summer, I figured nobody was ever going to catch on or pull out of this. But I just got to say that as time went by, most of the people who agreed with me and people who saw through this as well gradually started coming out of the woodwork. And you had people who started to wake up, actually, too.

Started having doctors and others who had not awakened. They gradually started to see what was happening and speaking out, even though it cost them their career. You had churches who woke up at the end of the summer, many of them. Some of them never closed down, and good for them. But many that did close down started waking up by the middle of the summer, end of the summer, and then they stood firm. The doctors, even especially the ones who got kicked out, got even more bold in all of this and more defiant in all of this. And so, you know, we go back and we look at this, and it's always this way.

We always feel like we're isolated, don't we? But just as God said to Elijah, he said, no, I've got 7,000 who have not bowed the knee to this. We don't see it all the time, but it's there. We're not by ourself. And even if there is nobody else out there, if we are following God, we're not by ourself. So he says, as time passed, I've obtained a peace of mind about all this. I realize that for some reason, I don't understand. God wanted this to happen. How can I say so? Because

he either caused it to happen or he allowed it to happen. Either way, he saw fit for it to go down like this. Before, I was angry. Today, I am thankful. Because the COVID war has shown a light on Satan's world that had never shined before. It's shown a light on the medical system, on the vaccines, on governments, and most of all, on the state of the sheeple of the world. Rather than devoting my life to trying to wake people up and fighting the system, I'm accepting that this is God's will and God has allowed me to see what is really happening. Instead, I'm now trying to do what I can to survive the collapse of Satan's world. We're starting a duck pond and a catfish pond in the jungle, he says. All I want to do is to be left alone by the world. I want to separate

myself from the world before it goes down completely. I hear Salenti saying, I'm a warrior for the Prince of Peace, but actually he's a warrior for the Trends Journal. How does he know that this is what God wants him to do? Well, I would just say this. We all have different roles that God has called us to do. And I'm not going to say that everybody needs to conduct themselves the same way. Do we act as monks or do we engage the culture? And there's always been a disagreement, even with people who try very hard to follow God. You know, we have the pilgrims versus the Puritans. Puritans who said, well, we're going to fix this. You know, I'm not going to let this stand. We're going to purify this system. Or you had the pilgrims who said, I'm out of here, right?

You have people who live as monks and you have other people who live as missionaries. Some people withdraw, some people insert into it. What is God calling you to do? Well, I can't answer that. You can answer that. I just have to say this, Scott. If you're in a situation where you have seen what is happening and you're working to make yourself self-sufficient, well, perhaps God has called you to work with people in your community, not necessarily in the bigger community. Maybe there's going to be other people that are there. Maybe God will have you become self-sufficient so that when and if things get really bad, you can be there to help other people. I don't really know what is coming along with this. I just know that God has exposed

a lot of this stuff, and we can be really grateful for it. As a matter of fact, coming up here, I've got articles about vaccines and how that has really been exposed. We've seen the school system exposed. Could never get this across for years. I kept telling people, get your kids out of school. Why? It's not happening in my school. It's not happening in my classroom even.

Maybe it's happening in my school. It's not happening. No, now they saw it was happening in their classroom. So praise God for that. And, you know, a lot of people have acted on that. But when we look at the vaccines, it is far easier. Nobody would listen. And we found out the hard way as well with vaccines in our family.

But most people would not listen to what was going on with that. They're listening now about vaccines. They're listening about all the vaccines, not just the COVID vaccine. Paul Offit was right about that. One of the biggest vaccine cheerleaders out there, Paul Offit, saying, well, we don't want to push this warp speed thing out there because if this thing is bad, that's going to blow up the whole vaccine industry. And he was right.

And it is going to blow up the whole vaccine industry. These people can call us any kind of pejorative term, conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers and all the rest of the stuff. We know what happened now. You're not going to be able to put that genie back in the bottle. So let me just close before we take a break here. I saw this article. Again, we say, what is it that God wants from us? There's a lot of things that really don't make sense.

And one of the things that we say when we talk about praying, what is that all about? It seems like a real contradiction, doesn't it? Just as you said, well, God let this happen or he planned for it to happen. And so this person says, you know, Satan will tell us all kinds of lies to keep us from praying,

but he'll also tell us the truth about things. And here's some of the things that he tells you the truth about to try to keep you from praying. He says, God already knows what you need, so there's no point in asking him. Or you're not worthy to ask for anything from God. Or you're weak. Your faith is too small. You've got no idea whether God will answer your prayers or not. You're only one person. What good is your prayer going to do? Or you don't know how to pray. Or your sins can block your prayers.

And he goes, all eight of those things are true, aren't they? You know, God already knows what you need. And when Jesus said that, your Father in heaven knows what you need before you ask him. What's he do next? He gives him the Lord's prayer next. And so, and as part of that, you know, you're unworthy. Yes, we're all unworthy. You know, Psalm 130 says, if the Lord should mark our iniquities, no one would stand. We understand that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But we also know that, as Paul says, he lists out all the different sins of everybody.

And he says, and such were some of you, except you've been cleaned, you've been washed. Yeah, you're weak, but God says my strength is perfected in your weakness. Your faith is small, and Jesus says, yeah, if it's as small as a mustard seed, you can still move mountains. It isn't how big your faith is. It's whether you use it or not. And you don't know whether the Lord will answer your prayers, because, again, he's not a genie in a bottle, you know.

He says, which of you, if your son asks you for bread, you give him a stone, or if he asks you for a fish, you give him a snake. He says, even you, being evil, won't do that, right? You're evil, he says. And even you, evil people, would not do that. But he says, but your Father in heaven will give you what you need. And I often think about that. I think, you know, what if your kid asked you for a snake? You wouldn't give him the snake either. And sometimes we ask God for snakes.

I think in my life I've asked for a lot of different snakes, and God has foolishly, and God has given me something that is not as dangerous, something that is better. And so when we look at this, you know, it is a mystery, God's sovereignty and how he asked us to join in prayer. But, you know, there's some mysteries that we can't understand. Just as we don't understand who dropped that bomb on there, maybe we'll eventually understand it, but the fog of war, and we're in a spiritual war, so there's a lot of stuff like this that we're not going to understand. We're not God, so we don't understand how he thinks. His thoughts are not our thoughts. His ways are not our ways. We don't understand that, but we do understand that the will of God is for us to ask him. And I think the most important thing about prayer is to be able to see him working in our life. So that's one of the reasons why I talk so much about George Mueller.

He kept a very detailed diary, and it truly was amazing. And I think one of the reasons that we don't see our life as so amazing is because we don't pray enough and we don't keep enough records to see what God has actually done. So forget the Samson option. Why don't we all go with the prayer option? We'll be right back. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future.

They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.

If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKnightShow.com turned around here uh as i said before you know that's so discouraging throughout 2020 i felt like i was just spitting into the wind and uh yet now look at what is happening you know we had trump was telling me i'm going to fix it we had alex is saying he's not going to give us the bad vaccine the gates he's going to give us the better one only two percent of amer Americans have gotten the updated boosters. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Republicans are voting for the booster, the vaccine booster himself, Trump.

And the vast majority of Democrats want to vote for the Democrat vaccine booster. So we still have this Trump delusion syndrome here. We're still going to, we hate the boosters, the booster shots, but we're going to go for the guy who keeps boosting the shots. About 7 million Americans only have received the updated versions of the coronavirus vaccines compared to the 56.5 million people who got last year's version. So that's good. People are starting to catch on to this. And here's something that's even better.

Pfizer, therefore, has slashed their full-year earnings and their revenue guidance. They've slashed it by about a half. They had said before it was going to be somewhere between $3.25 and $3.45 per share. Now they're saying $1.45 to $1.65. Actually, a little bit more than half they've cut it down. So the profits, cutting it down by half. And the interesting thing to me about it is that their revenue guidance has gone down by about a third, a little bit less than a third. And yet their profits have gone down, down by more than half. Oh, they were getting filthy rich, killing people.

Weren't they filthy rich? Yeah. Trump saw to that. As a matter of fact, this article from daily skeptic, when you first look at it, you say, are they a little bit too optimistic? I say Pfizer may go bankrupt and the financial markets are realizing this and it's showing up in their stock market valuation which has fallen below pre-pandemic levels well i look at this it's like well we can all dream and then as i start to read this it's like oh no actually they're right because i just had the interview last week with the former feds group uh cc who was there and and

she was talking about how uh they sued pfizer for fraud and they and pfizer came up and said you can't sue us we're covered with the prep act and the judge says not for fraud you're not not for fraud it doesn't give you um protection against fraud as a matter of fact pfizer knows that as well it's one of the reasons why they went around various countries three of them at least in latin america and others in europe telling them you got to protect us against negligence and manufacturing negligence and shipping and fraud and all the rest of the stuff before we'll give you the vaccines. And all these governments wanted the vaccine because to them,

nobody was going to be able to get in or out and leave their country. Unless they had the vaccine, that was their ticket to ride. I said, they desperately wanted it. That's why Netanyahu sold out his own people as lab rats so that they could get in and out and go into other countries. And so they wanted it. That's why Netanyahu sold out his own people as lab rats so that they could get in and out and go into other countries. And so they wanted it. And Pfizer was blackmailing them

saying, uh, you indemnify us against, uh, you know, everything, everything. Well, they're not indemnified against fraud. That's not covered in the prep act and this daily skeptic article uh does a great job of pointing out why comparing what pfizer has done to what purdue pharmaceutical did with the opioid crisis said pfizer and purdue a pharmaceutical concern that dishonestly and aggressively marketed harmful products purdue pharmaceutical went bankrupt due to greed and depravity of its leaders as its legal protections, quote-unquote, evaporated. Could the same thing happen to Pfizer? And again, you say, well, yeah, but Pfizer is protected with a PrEP Act,

not for fraud. And it was fraud that took down Purdue Pharmaceutical. And in this article, they also compare the actions of Pfizer with the actions of GSK, GlaxoSmithKline, which did not get into this warp speed vaccine and did not promote it with absurd, fraudulent lies.

They say old experienced vaccine companies like GSK refused to participate. Who was it that did it? The only established company and vaccines that did it was Pfizer. Moderna was not an established company. Moderna had never had a product in their 10 years of existence, never had a product to go to market. And then the third one here in the United States that got involved in it was Johnson and Johnson. Now, what they don't mention in this article is how Johnson and Johnson was tied into the

opioid epidemic as well. But I've talked about that. I said, look at how they are protected. You know, Johnson and Johnson fraudulently sold baby talc powder they knew was injuring babies and women who were using it for years and years. They continued on. They got a big lawsuit going on with that. And then, of course, they were the people who were actually manufacturing the stuff that the Sackler family was selling. And they were selling it themselves.

Johnson & Johnson was selling and they were selling it themselves johnson and johnson was selling the opioids but it was a sackler family and purdue pharmaceutical that really marketed it fraudulently more so than johnson and johnson but johnson and johnson had some exposure to this as well and it was like a trump threw them a bone uh you know you guys have never been in the vaccine industry you want to get in on this because we'll completely protect you with a prep act and everything. And so they jumped in it. So you got a corporation that has a long criminal history,

Johnson and Johnson. You got another corporation. It's got a long criminal history, Pfizer, and you got a brand new one. That's just starting out on its crime spree, Moderna. And so they all jumped in on this.

Well, Pfizer stock now is 25% less than it was five years ago before the pandemic. Despite the billions of dollars that it received from the sales of COVID vaccines. So Wall Street has basically turned on them. And this Daily Skeptic article points out perhaps why. It says, I'm far from the first person to suggest that Pfizer, which aggressively marketed its COVID vaccines and the PrEP Act will cease to protect if it is significant fraud on the part of Pfizer, if that is discovered. And again, this is not a legal theory.

We've already had the first case of this happening. As I pointed out last week, you know, CC from former Fed group came on and said, yeah, the judge says you're not, PrEP Act doesn't protect you from fraudulent stuff. And what you did was fraudulent. The story of Purdue Pharma and its relentless push towards higher doses of opioids given to patients in order to get them addicted. You see, it's not just, I've had people who've sent me articles saying, well, you know, one person sent me an article and said i i need um the opioids

it's the only thing that helps with this pain situation and i understand and you know this has been one of the arguments during the war on drugs uh to deny palliative care or even not it's not even palliative care right you know pain medicine to people who are in incredibly painful situations you got stomach cancer or something like that. And, and so, but people like that don't get addicted to drugs unless you overprescribe the drugs.

You see, if you don't have a horrible pain situation or something like that, and, and they start giving you drugs and giving you more and more drugs, then they can get you addicted. They keep it going too long Then they can get you addicted. They keep it going too long. They can get you addicted. And that's precisely what Purdue pharmaceutical was pushing doctors to do.

Bribing them, holding parties, getting hookers for them, all this kind of, I mean, it was anyway, we will find out that what Pfizer did is much, much worse than what Purdue did. So anyway, that was what Purdue Pharmaceutical was. He said, if you look at the complaint against the Sackler family, the lawsuit, he said it reads like a detective story. It's got all kinds of sordid details about malfeasance at Purdue Pharmaceutical, the deaths that it caused and all the rest of the stuff. Interestingly, the above page could be written, rewritten almost word for word to cover the COVID vaccines, which are technically not addictive. But do require endless repeat injections, according to Pfizer. And even though they don't prevent COVID, and even though they appear to cause excess deaths,

Sackler's and Purdue Pharma used exactly the same playbook that Pfizer is accused of doing by buying off the corrupt press to place favorable publications so he says let's compare pfizer so firstly now he's compared pfizer to purdue pharmaceutical said yeah you know they acted both of them and acted in a criminal way he said now let's compare pfizer to glaxo smith klein an established vaccine company that did chose not to get into this. I mean, they didn't want to help out Trump. Why didn't GSK get into this? He said, well, GSK is an established and much more careful player. GSK refused to play the COVID vaccine game. It realized that nothing good could come out of this in the long run. So they declined to expose themselves to potential liability

of endangering millions of people with a Trump shot that was extremely unlikely to work. And of course, the Democrats would tell you the truth about that until Biden got elected. This is going to work, you know. But no, sign up for the Trump casino. You may get lucky. You might even win a million dollars if you live in Ohio, right?

Now, the Trump casino is where everybody loses, including the guy who ran it who goes bankrupt. Well, the maternal RSV vaccine story further highlights how reckless and corrupt Pfizer is. And we talk about it as a maternal story, right? RSV, the new vaccine that they came up with. RSV has been around for a very, very long time. Not a serious thing.

Most of us have had that as children, you know, like we had measles and that type of thing. But they came up with, we've got to have something new, a new product center. So let's push out an RSV vaccine, which we've never had before. And then they pushed it on pregnant women. And so he says there, the NIH gave the blueprint for the RSV vaccine to both Pfizer and to GSK. Again, coming from who? Coming from the government.

Coming from Fauci's organization. Hey, here's what we'd like for you to put out. See, the people who want to kill you are the government. It's the NIH and Fauci and the FDA and these people. They're the ones who want to kill you. They want depopulation. Pfizer's just their deputized killer, their hired killer to make money. And so they give this COVID vaccine to them. Yeah, we'll do that.

Then they give them the RSV vaccine and Pfizer says, yeah, we'll do that too. GSK also says, no, we're not going to do that either. Not going to do it either. Both companies tested exactly the same product. Well, essentially the same product. Not exactly. Clinical trials revealed that giving pregnant women the RSV vaccine increased premature births and infant mortality. GSK, the established and conservative vaccine company, wisely heated the alarm signal and abandoned maternal RSV.

Instead of honestly terminating the program, however, Pfizer purposely selected small vaccine and placebo groups to make the premature birth signal statistically insignificant and then lobbied the corrupt FDA to approve its vaccine, which, again, the NIH wanted it as a kill shot. Yeah, the corruption coming from our government. But, of course, Pfizer looks at this and manipulates the test studies to get what they want and to make a case to the FDA, and the FDA rubber stamps it because, again, it was coming from the government in the first place. So he says, so here's the similarities between Pfizer and Purdue.

Reckless disregard for dangers to recipients of their products. For instance, Pfizer tested its recent vaccines on several mice only. Number two, corporate greed, exemplified by risky decisions to chase billions and immediate profits at the risk of bankruptcy in the long run. These guys will probably get away with it. It paid off for the Sacklers. They had all these lawsuits,

and they had all these state attorneys general all over the country coming after them and they negotiated with them and being lying criminals as they are uh you know they they came up with a deal and then afterwards these uh state attorneys general said wait a minute they had a lot more money they didn't tell us about that we we left a lot of money on the table yeah of course they're criminals and um you know they got away with this stuff got to keep their mind they if it had been again like el chapo senolah cartel take everything he's got even before we do a trial but these guys they negotiate with him they don't do

uh civil asset forfeiture any of that kind of stuff or rico statutes forfeiture drug war for none of that stuff not not for the pharmaceutical companies um and so then they bought off the press and regulators both of them both purdue and pfizer to get support for their products they hid deaths and adverse effects from the public you know manipulated, lied about data, hid data? Of course. And then they go a little bit further than this. They ask in this, they said, Pfizer doesn't have enough money to compensate every victim fairly.

So what about Google and Facebook? Are they also liable? He said, a year ago, I wrote a post explaining that Google and Facebook can also be liable to COVID vaccine victims because they intentionally conspired to hide the dangers of the COVID vaccines from the public. Shutting down people like me, for example. You know, doctors, anybody, anyone who would talk about the dangers of this stuff, shut you down. Are they liable? Yes, they are.

And I hope you guys sue them. I'm not damaged by the vaccine. I am damaged by their censorship. But I hope that people will come after Google, after Facebook, after Pfizer. I hope they sue their pants off, sue them out of existence. They need to be given the corporate death penalties for what they have done because they have given literal death penalties to so many millions of people. And in many cases, even worse, what they've done to people.

These internet giants, which profited mightily from the pandemic, are bigger fish than Pfizer. Each victim could receive up to $15,000 in value if they were found liable. That's still not much. The stock market, it seems, sees the same thing now with Pfizer stock declining relentlessly. Well, they will get their comeuppance one way or the other. Let me talk about some of the people people the comments that have been made here and i've got way behind on the comments um on rock finn kareem thank you very much for the tip good morning everyone he says or she um and uh on rock finn amos pool thank you very much that's very generous

he says israel has been a terrorist state since its inception. I wouldn't be shocked if Israel hit the hospital, but I appreciate your Christian heart. Well, again, there's enough. One of the things that we've got to do is to try to de-escalate this. And a part of that is to try to de-escalate the rhetoric on this. It is a tragedy. And again, yeah, states can commit terrorist acts, just like religious terrorists or free radicals, I guess you'd call them.

Anybody is capable of doing that. We need to call it out when we see it for what it is. On Rumble, Rabid Roach, thank you for the tip. Good morning, David. How do you feel about the latest polls showing that support for Kennedy among conservatives is large enough to hand the election over to Biden? I suggest that you look to see who your local sheriff is because regardless of any of these people going into the White House

or whether Jim Jordan has become Speaker of the House or any of the rest of this stuff happens, Washington is not your friend and there isn't any salvation that's coming there from anybody else so quite frankly uh like i said uh you know the run-up to 2020 i said everybody oh well you know you better hope that trump gets it because if i can get in there he's going to mandate the vaccines. I was like, yeah, of course he will. But Trump will finesse it and he will incentivize it and he will wind up having people blackmail you into it. And of course, that was a big part of what Biden did. He had mandates for his own employees and things like that. But he found a way to get corporations to do the dirty work for him.

Trump would have as well. And when it comes to war, I said, you understand the difference between Trump and Biden is war with China first or war with Russia first. And I said, and if we're unlucky with either one of them, we wind up getting war with both. And so you need to focus on yourself and you need to focus on your community. First of all, uh, we have our priorities exactly upside down.

Um, we focus everything on Washington where we have the least amount of influence, but we do need to watch what Washington is doing, but we can't defend against what the people in Washington are doing. We need to defend against that by electing people in Washington. We need to mount some sort of a defense at the local level. And we all know that in 2020, your local government either made things a lot better or a lot worse than what the state and the federal government wanted to do to you um on rumble obsolete man 1776 thank you very much for the tip he says for the one who stole my card last time i use it on rumble there's only five dollars left

in my account so good luck getting the money i get new card. Love you, David Knight and crew. Thank you, David. I'm sorry that you got your card stolen. I don't know. It's about that. At least that's some revenge that you got the money out of there. On Rumble, Riptide, Fickle. Thank you very much.

That's very generous. I appreciate that. Hi, David. Long time listener. I'm all in for self-sufficiency food metals. I'm an alpha wolf member. Good. And what he means by that is the wolf pack.

Uh, Tony Arterburn has, uh, at David night show dot gold. That will take you to Tony's sites. Also wise wolf. Uh, but that'll let him know that you came through us. David night dot gold. What'd I say? David night show. Okay.

David night dot gold. What'd I say? David Knight show. Okay. David Knight dot gold. I'm sorry. Um, so, uh, go to David Knight dot gold. That'll take you to wise wolf.com. And, uh, again, he'll sell you, uh, metals at any, uh, amount small or large. And, uh, he can, if he doesn't have it, he can lock the price. And it's not like it is a Costco. You know, Costco is using this as a publicity stunt essentially.

Oh yeah, we sell gold, but we haven't got any, but you know, if we had it, well, it would be so cheap, but you know, that's, we've seen that type of game before, but, uh, but with Tony, he actually calls up and he locks it in and, uh, he locks in the price at that point. So, you know, uh, but he can do it in any, uh, amount, small or large, and he can also help you if you've got an IRA. So, um, that's good. And if you want to, you know, plan and what you're going to do in terms of food and water and self-defense against civil defense, manual.com. It's a great manual there from a Jack Lawson as well, but getting back to the comment here. So we're in for self-sufficiency food, metals, an alpha Wolfpack member.

What would you do when CBC is required to pay property tax and income tax? Well, I think that we're going to wind up in a situation where you are going to have to probably, you're going to have, if they require it to do that, then you're going to have to do that, but you don't have to do everything that way. You understand the key part of CBDC is they've got your information in terms of your social security number and all the rest of the stuff when the government is looking at you from an income tax standpoint

or when they're doing it from a property tax standpoint. The point is that you want to be able to operate and to move around and to buy stuff without them knowing everything that you're doing. You're not going to be able to escape it when you're dealing with the government. If the government makes that the medium of exchange, you're going to have to do that. Just like, you know, you go down and you try to pay your taxes in pennies because you're angry at them. You may get away with that in some jurisdictions and other jurisdictions you may not. And so they may just say, well, we're not going to take any, you know, we're not going to take coins and we're not going to take gold and we're not going to

take silver. We're not even going to take our own paper money anymore. So when you act with, interact with the government, you would have to do that. But the government is knowing that you're doing that anyway. The key is, is that you don't want the government to know all the rest of the things that you're doing in your life. And that's why you want to, it will be a mix, you know, any government activity, they're going to know any government activity. You'll have to use that system. But you want to be able, you know, what I see happening is what's been

happening in a lot of corrupt authoritarian countries all over the world for quite a while. And that is a mixture of, you know, a black market economy, an underground economy, a barter economy, all those types of things that people have to do in order to be able to survive. And it'll be not just a part of survival, but it'll also be part of your privacy. And being able to do things that the government unconstitutionally tells you that you can't do. Where they have no authority to tell you to do that. Where they tread on your God-given rights to tell you you can't do this or you can't do that.

You'll still be able to do that if you can operate outside their CBDC with something that is bartering or with metals or something like that. That's the way I see it. And, of course, that is kind of what's happening in Argentina as well. You know, you got this corrupt government money system, the Argentine peso, that their interest rates are 133%. They claim their inflation rate is 138%, and it's much higher than that. And people are, you know, finding ways that they can still use cash,

even though they've got to call up somebody on the phone and have them come in with a suitcase and, you know, a special courier and that type of thing, they don't want to walk around the streets with a wheelbarrow full of cash. Um, but, um, you know, you just find a way that you can deal with that system and people are, uh, you know, partially in that system and partially out of it. On rumble conservative thinker. Thank you for the tip. He says, um um your mark levin impersonation is better than your fauci yeah i gotta work on my fauci i guess hopefully we won't have to do them too much

anymore maybe this guy's history i don't know um revisiting whether or not covet 19 really killed several anti-vax conservative radio hosts. And we see this all the time. Um, uh, Travis has just sent something up here. GK Chesterton. Travis likes GK Chesterton quite a bit. Uh, let me read that before I get into this. Chesterton quote that ties in well with the dangers of pharma prescribing opioids. Here's the quote.

If a man drinks wine in order to obtain pleasure, he's trying to obtain something exceptional, something he does not expect every hour of the day, something which, unless he is a little insane, he will not try to get every hour of the day. But if a man drinks wine in order to obtain health,

he's trying to get something natural, something that he ought not to be without, something that he ought not to be without, something that he may find it difficult to reconcile himself to being without. The man may not be seduced who has seen the ecstasy of being ecstatic. It is more dazzling to catch a glimpse of the ecstasy of being ordinary. If there were a magic ointment, and we took it to a strong man and said, this will enable you to jump off the monument,

that was he would jump off the monument, but he would not jump off the monument all day long to the delight of the city. But if we took it to a blind man and said, this will enable you to see, he would be under a heavier temptation. It'd be hard for him not to rub it on his eyes whenever he heard the

hoof of a noble horse or the birds singing at daybreak. G.K. Chesterton out of Heretics. Yeah, you know, we have to be careful what we get our fulfillment out of, don't we? And of course, you know, people take drugs for all kinds of reasons. For the most part, they sell it as fear. You know, and we have to understand what their motivations are. They've been pretty clear about that. Going back to 2018, April, May, it was Goldman Sachs that told them, look, you know, Gilead, people made remdesivir. You cured this strain of hepatitis.

You made a lot of money the first year. And not too much the second year and none the third year. We don't want to cure diseases. We want to keep them going or add additional ones. And that's really what their business model is. They don't even try to hide it from you. Widely reported at the time within the trade stuff, but not too many people talked about that

admission, uh, we can infer that that is what their business model is, but they actually explicitly state it. It is pretty amazing anyway. Um, yeah. You remember when this was happening and we said, oh, look, you know, this guy, he's just railing about the pandemic and he died and he did a deathbed recant and his family says they're sorry and they want everybody you know to do that i remember you know a lot of conservative people like that and um you know i just said uh by the way you know if i die of a heart attack or something

you make sure you have people understand that uh it's not covid okay um i'm not gonna be dying of covid i know i'm not gonna be dying of covid. I know I'm not going to be dying of COVID. So just tell people I didn't die of COVID. I died from something else. And now that's what they're seeing. And I was saying it at the time. I said, okay, so these are people, they got sick. They were denied medication that would allow them to recover

that was safe and effective and cheap. They were denied hydroxychloroquine. They were denied ivermectin. They went into the hospital. They were given ventilators. They were given remdesivir. They were given all of the hospital death protocol that Trump was financially rewarding hospitals to do. And then they declare victory and say, look, COVID got him.

No, it wasn't COVID. It was a Trump hospital death protocols. The experts assured us that these deaths were absolutely caused by COVID. Any other theory or narrative from a qualified medical professional was heresy. Anybody who advanced such a position risked banishment from social media, like me, or you get fired. Then in last May, a study was published that indicated that many, if not the majority of COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized, who were placed on ventilators and subsequently died, had ventilator-associated pneumonia. I reported that as well.

The alternative treatments were effectively prohibited by federal agencies. They financially incentivized hospital policies. And again, I pointed that out in August of 2020. I said, look, they're giving them a 20% bonus to do this. Look, they're giving a bonus to people. If the family accepts a diagnosis that their loved one was killed, not by their medical malpractice, not by their death protocols, but killed by COVID, then they give them money, thousands of dollars for a funeral.

And they're just paying everybody off to go along with the Trump-Fauci lie, which is really the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the UN. It was their lie being sold to you by Trump and Fauci. These patients were given a toxic combination of remdesivir and ventilator intubation. Alternative treatments like ivermectin was dismissed as horse medicine. Hydroxychloroquine was dismissed as fish tank cleaner. And then you had Trump saying, well, I heard something about that. Oh, you're an idiot. You know, you don't, Fauci and dress him down. I'm the scientist. I'm Mr. Scientist. Yeah. When, uh, and Trump,

Trump says that along with saying, you know, maybe we could inject light into our veins and yeah, obviously teeing this up for the straight man to come in and slam it down during lockdowns and American parents couldn't take their children for routine vaccinations, childhood mortality dropped by 30%. Is this a coincidence, asks Expose News? Well, if we ever needed proof of the danger of so-called vaccines, we now have it by the boatload.

What about all the other vaccinations besides COVID that people have been pumping into our babies and our toddlers? You know, when you look at it, it's like up to like six dozen, 72 or more vaccines that you get at an early age. Starting when your immune system is so immature that you can't, your body can't even process this stuff as a baby. We know that safe and effective lie applies to all of those vaccines as well. You may also be interested in reading articles that we've previously published as Expose News, such as,

All Vaccines Make Children and Adults Unhealthier, or The Hidden Truth About Vaccines, What Parents Are Not Being Told. But see, God showed us that. That's the silver lining in all this stuff that we were just talking about earlier with the listeners' story. God used this. They meant it for evil. And God used it for good. He used it to show us these vaccines that we've been putting in our kids all this time.

We're actually killing them. They have to get the shot. No, they don't. The vaccinations are so important. No, they aren't. It's really going around now. You're killing people. You're destroying their health.

You're destroying the Constitution. You're destroying their religious liberty. You're destroying their ability to make choices about their body literally the rallying cry for the abortionists no that literally happened and so you see the childhood deaths dropped by 30 during the pandemic we had people i've played the clip several times i won't play it again for you now but remember the lady who said you know 25 years ago or something like that, I was told that my child died of sudden infant death syndrome.

It happened right after he was vaccinated, and I believed them. And now we see the same thing happening with sudden adult death syndrome of people right after they've been vaccinated. She said, it just dawned on me. I killed my kid. No, you didn't. The medical industry did. The system killed your kid. They lied to you.

And she said, I thought I was doing the right thing. It has opened everybody's eyes to what is happening here. Childhood vaccines have long been suspected of being a contributing factor to sudden infant death syndrome. According to an Australian researcher, Vera Schreibner, quote, vaccination is undoubtedly the single biggest and most preventable cause of cot death, which we say here in the U.S.

as sudden infant death syndrome. We saw it happening to adults, and now we know. Once you see this, you can't unsee it. And the blowback is going to be huge for them. As I've said many times, I've seen this happen over and over again. When somebody realizes that the government ran through a false flag attack and lied to them about this and used it for war, used it to create a police state or something else like that. It's like, wow. Wow. Okay.

It's hard to get people to cross that Rubicon. But once they do, many of them will become so cynical they see a conspiracy in every single thing. Nothing is real. Well, that's not true either. But the bottom line is that people are going to be hyper-skeptical. Hyper-skeptical.

And the longer they keep pushing these lies, the more skeptical people are going to be of government, of their agenda, and especially of the medical industry that is willing to kill people for money. You know, and when I look at these vaccines, we heard all these lies about herd immunity and everything. How long has it been since you heard any herd immunity? Herd immunity was how they sold the standard vaccines. And so for years and years, we would say, you know, if your vaccine doesn't protect you,

somebody else's vaccine is not going to protect you either. Right? That's just nonsense. And they started all that stuff with the masks. They said, well, your mask doesn't protect you, but it protects other people and their mask protects you. I mean, they did commercials. I played the commercials of this and I said, do you understand they're running the same

playbook they've always done for the childhood vaccines every year, scaring people about the flu every year, scaring people about childhood vaccine. You got to get the shot to protect other people, this whole herd immunity thing. And of course, the people that I worked with who then mike adams and alex jones selling masks themselves you know oh yeah you got to go get your mask uh well look they knew it as well uh but but the thing is they kept pushing this and and we were told well i don't know the number what is the number how many what percentage of people because some people are not going to get this what percentage do we have to get to well i don't know you know we got to get to like 60 to 70 so i'm like you know i don't know what it is and then it keeps going up

you know up and up and up and then they just stop talking about it completely and you haven't heard them talk about uh herd immunity for quite some time you know what that was really about again go back to the Incredibles and what Syndrome said. He said, I'm going to make everybody super because if everybody's super, then nobody is super. Well, I'm going to vaccinate everybody because if I vaccinate everybody and everybody starts dying, you're not going to have a control group that shows what's going on here. Well, we've had a long-term control group for all these childhood vaccines. It's called the Amish.

And we know that they don't suffer from the diseases. Kind of like God gave Moses the dietary laws at the time. And he says, you know, if you follow this prescription, you're not going to have, if you eat like this, you're not going to have the diseases that the Egyptians have. Well, like this, you're not going to have the diseases that the Egyptians have. Well, you know, the Amish don't have the diseases that the Americans have, or the people in Europe, or all the rest of the people who buy into this pharmaceutical agenda. But they didn't want there to be a control group.

They wanted to vaccinate everybody. And that was really what all this herd immunity was about. They wanted to vaccinate the entire herd. It was a herd mentality. In 2022, 54% of American children are chronically ill. And that was really what all this herd immunity was about. They wanted to vaccinate the entire herd. It was a herd mentality. In 2022, 54% of American children are chronically ill. 13% are in special education. Almost 11% have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. One in six has a developmental order.

15,000 diagnosed with cancer in 2022 alone. Untold millions suffer from allergies, including deadly peanut allergies. Unheard of 50 years ago. I'd never heard, never had anybody who had peanut allergies. Simply just didn't want the jiff on their bread.

I mean, it was a matter of taste. It wasn't a life and death allergy issue. And then look at autism. The biggest one there. How 40 years ago, 43 years ago, 1980, you had autism in one out of 10,000 kids. By 2002, it was one in 250. By 2013, it was one in 50.

And now it is estimated to be one out of every 25. So 43 years, you go from one in 10,000 to one in 25. Nobody wants to ask why. Nobody's allowed to ask why. Many of of us have asked and many of us know why but the mainstream media and the press does not and the government does not want you to ask why and so the question is are your kids over vaccinated of course they are if you follow the schedule as a matter of fact you know if you um just to give you some more statistics coming from Dr. Paul Thomas, a 400% greater chance your child is suffering a chronic condition before the

age of 18, a 48% chance of getting heart disease, 208 times greater chance of suffering from chronic sinusitis, 45 times greater chance of suffering from digestive disorders, 20 times greater chance of developing ADHD, and on and on and on through getting eczema, having food allergies, developing speech disorders, learning disorders and disabilities, epilepsy, autism. We understand what this is about. And now people are really paying attention. So here's some of the harmful ingredients in your vaccine this is a post that was on Twitter and I don't

know just making the example if this is an actual conversation but iris figure figure figure oa said well I got all the vaccine ingredients that are listed on the insert, right? Put them on a list and I contacted Poison Control. My first question is, can you tell me how these ingredients are categorized? Are they benign or poison? And I mentioned a few ingredients like formaldehyde, tween, 80, mercury, aluminum, phenoxyethanol potassium phosphate sodium phosphate sorbitol etc i said well that's quite a list but i'd say they're all toxic to humans are used in fertilizers are used as pesticides are used to stop the heart to preserve a dead body they're registered as in

different categories why well i i was um if i were to deliberately feed or inject this into my child, what would legally happen to me? I said, well, that's an odd question, but you'd likely be charged with criminal negligence, perhaps with intent to kill, and, of course, child abuse. Your child would be taken away from you. She said, well, then I said, well, this is an industry. These are ingredients that are used in vaccines with binding agents to make sure the body won't flush these out, to keep the antibody levels up indefinitely and other things like that. Again, you know, we can be very concerned about that. In California, they get very concerned about red dye in food or something, right?

Or titanium dioxide for food coloring. You know, we've got to make the candy look really shiny and all this kind of stuff. And it's like, is it really worth it? You know, put toxic stuff in there for appearance. And they do that all the time. They put stuff all the time for appearance or for shelf life or add chemicals to make this stuff go through the food processing machines more easily.

But then it stays in the food and you wind up eating it, and it's not, you know, it's potentially harmful. Again, things like formaldehyde or this tongue twister here. Hexacitrimethylammonium bromide damages the liver, the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, reproductive effects, birth effects, aluminum hydroxide, a neurotoxin, long-term risk for brain inflammation, swelling, many others, toxic chemicals and carcinogens. They worry about red dye number two, but they don't worry about all these.

And it's a long, long list. I won't read all these things out to you. The last one on it, human embryonic lung cell cultures from aborted fetuses aborted babies it just goes on and on and finally we have the veterinarians uh who are now saying we got a big problem with this is how damaging this has been to the vaccine industry. And I rejoice over this. So much so that people don't want to vaccinate their pets. Because you start to catch on to this as well.

You say, wait a minute. Why do I have to get an annual rabies shot? Does it work or does it not work? And of course, we had, um, you know, we got scout. We already knew about the vaccines and stuff. So I said, uh,

I don't know. I don't want to get ready. Well, you need to get it once. They said, you need to get it once. And then if, um,

you know, if he bites somebody, um, they want to immediately put him down. Uh, they'll quarantine him. See if he's got rabies. If he's got one vaccine, even if he's got rabies, if he's got one vaccine,

even if he's not up to date. And so we did one vaccine with him. We did one rabies vaccine for that because we did have a problem when he was a puppy. He got scared. Um, at one point, first he was really chill and then something scared him. And, you know, he's a border collie. So he picks up on things pretty quickly. He jumps to conclusions. And he has a fantastic memory and a great deal of focus. And so he got scared, and he was a real problem for a short period of time with people. We finally broke him of it. It was a real pain. We had to get one of Travis and Lance's friends to come over, and we got um, we, um, uh, got a bunch of treats, you know,

and kept him on a leash and, and we treated him out of that behavior. But, you know, it was, it was a real concern that he was going to bite somebody. So we did that and he never had any health problems until we had the situation where he nearly died. And that, that veterinarian was just looking for any way that he could pad stuff into the end of the bill. Do anything he could to him. And so we finally said look, you know, we got to stop with this and we're going to

bring him home and we're going to work with him ourselves. And just before we brought him home, he's telling us, well, if you take him away from me, he's going to die. He's going to die. And then he shot him up with every vaccine he could think of. And he's had skin allergies and all kinds of stuff like that ever since. And we've seen situations of people talking about their cats who got cancer and typically would get it right at the injection shot, that type of thing.

So people are starting to wake up to this criminal medical industry. And the next thing that people need to wake up to is how this is getting into our food supply. We see that animal contraceptives and antibiotics, and of course, it'll be the mRNA vaccines will show up next if they start looking for it, because that's what they're going to start doing. They have found, however, the animal contraceptives and antibiotics showing up in fast food chains.

They looked at, they tested food samples from 10 food chains, and they found it in 80% of them. The ones that they tested were, they went to McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, Chick-fil-A, Burger King, Taco Bell, Chipotle, Dunkin', Wendy's, and Domino's. And they ordered the same meals. And with the exception of Chipotle and Subway, all the food samples tested positive for veterinary drugs. It's everywhere. And then we look at things like glyphosate. It's everywhere as well.

Travis, if you listen to their propaganda, it gives you herd immunity, H-E-A-R-D. Yeah, I heard that I get immunity from this. Maybe that's all I know. And so, yeah, then of course, there's rheumatic inflammatory diseases, which we learned about that the hard way. So it is, you know, we've had people through their experiences have been,

it's been a very big issue. But we're talking about lawsuits and how people need to sue Pfizer out of existence. And same thing for Google and Facebook. We don't imagine a world without Google and Facebook. I know what that was like, and it was better. But now we've got military lawsuits, and they've agreed to pay $1.8 million in two lawsuits about the COVID mandate. But this is really only to the few who sued that are

going to get this compensation. And it's not a lot of compensation either. That $1.8 million is going to be split between two different groups. And it is now essentially dead from the standpoint, they put it into the NDAA act, but there's all kinds of ways that the Pentagon is trying to carve this back. It's good that people understand this. But again, when you look at the people who got pushed out of the military or, you know, like Jason Barker, who was able to hang in there without getting the vaccine until he

was able to get to his 20 year anniversary and get out. But at some, you know, that's $1.8 million settlement is going to be split between these two cases, $900,000 each. And again, it's not going to be a lot of compensation, even for the people who are part of that.

And there's no compensation for the people who are, who got the vaccine and are going to be suffering the consequences to come. In the UK, the government has quietly confirmed that the vaccinated account for 95% of so-called COVID deaths in England over the last year. 94% of those were the triple and quadruple vaccinated. That's the key thing. If they got you once, it gets worse with every subsequent shot. It goes up significantly. So we're going to take a quick break, and then we're going to come back.

We do have an interview, and I pre-taped this interview. I think you're going to find it very interesting. I talked to George Barna. And a familiar name, if you've been around for a while, probably the most quoted Christian survey person out there. He studied what is going on in Christian families and the church and the decline of the church and the decline of the family for quite some time. He's written about 50 books, but it's his recent book that just came out where he kind of puts together the experience of decades in terms of identifying particular trends and practices for parents, but also for Christians themselves. And so we're going to talk to him coming up. I'm going to take a quick break,

and I've got something I want to talk about real quickly, and that is going to be something that we talked to Jason Barker about at the end of the week last week, ghost guns. There's now been a little bit of an update on that. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. or maybe ghost printers, right? Everybody freaked out about ghost guns. And Jason Barker has written several. As a matter of fact, he's done a follow-up since I interviewed him last week.

Part number four, I think, of 3D printers and ghost guns and the ghost gun myth and the rest of this stuff. And there has been, I think that went out at the end of the week last week, right after we did the interview. On Monday, the Supreme Court directed two ghost gun manufacturers, so-called ghost guns. I just love that. That's why I had to make fun of the ghost gun myth. Sounds like a Scooby-Doo episode, doesn't it? Blackhawk Manufacturing Group and Defense Distributed, that's Cody Wilson's group that took this as a challenge to any gun control thing, saying, hey, we can give people instructions to print their own guns. And he took that all the way to Supreme Court, and they said, well, you can't stop these

instructions from going around because that's a free speech issue. Anyway, they've now said that defense distributed and Blackhawk manufacturing have to comply with a Biden administration rule that mandates the serialization of unfinished gun parts. Now, the question in my mind, I haven't looked at the full thing yet, is how far does that go? You know, lower receiver for an AR-15 or the frame of a handgun. Now, lower receiver, you know, lower receiver for an AR-15 or the frame of a handgun. Now, lower receiver, you know, people have been doing these 80% gun kits and stuff like that. You know, you get a lower receiver and you've got to drill a few holes in a couple of places to make it functional.

But you could buy all the parts that you wanted to. You know, parts have never been regulated. And that's what Jason was talking about. He said, you've got to 3D print those parts. You don't have to buy them, you know, the have never been regulated. And that's what Jason was talking about. He said, you can 3D print those parts. You don't have to buy them, you know, the gun stock or things like that. But then, of course, they're starting to put these little, you know, traps for people. You know, the gun stock, you've got to be careful. They don't call it a pistol brace now and all the rest of this stuff.

So, you know, there's little things like that that are always throwing in there. The justices did this without any public dissent. That is concerning. And the person who pushed this through was Alito. That is also concerning. The regulation does not ban ghost gun kits. Instead, manufacturers and sellers have to get licenses.

They have to serialize each of these. They have to require background checks and all the rest of the stuff in order to counter the flood of untraceable firearms pouring into the cities and again that's such a joke as as jason pointed out you know uh it's complicated it's expensive it's got a big learning curve uh takes a lot of time and a lot of things that you have to learn. But you just go down, you know, buy a gun, black market, which is what's happening. You know, it's not, if you want a flood of firearms, that's what's happening and it's always going to happen that way. Defense Distributed saw this day coming.

They pivoted from 80% frames to 0% kits. We were talking about that last week. Yeah, what are you going to do you're going to uh have people register a block of aluminum yeah because they already went to the point said well look you know we'll show you how to manufacture uh whatever you want a receiver uh or a frame or whatever you know from just a metal block uh The problem is, is that the government is afraid of us. They're afraid of law-abiding citizens. They're very uncomfortable with anybody having a gun

because they don't trust us. And we should not trust them, quite frankly. Alito overruled a lower court decision which ruled against these things so at a lower court they said no you don't have that authority but then alito overruled it he issued an order giving ghost gun manufacturers until today to provide a better reason as to why they should not have their guns regulated the same way as anybody else. Well, here's a reason. How about the Second Amendment? Because the Second Amendment says, Alito, if you read it, come on, you're not that stupid and I'm not either.

It says, shall not infringe. That means the Supreme Court. That means the ATF. That means that the ATF doesn't even have the authority to exist under the Second Amendment. Our right to have weapons to protect ourselves is God-given. It's not given to us by the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is there to prohibit government from getting in the way of defending ourselves. And so that's the reality of this.

Shame on him. The rule has attracted criticism from several pro-gun advocates and manufacturers who say the reclassification of parts kits as if they were firearms is unconstitutional. Well, firearms should not be regulated, period. Should not be infringed, period. Gun rights groups such as the Second Amendment Foundation, Polymer 80 Incorporated, and another one called Not an LLC, sued to block the rule days after it took effect in August of 2022. Such groups argued that they would be driven out of business if the ATF rule was enforced against them. Well, again, it's the ATF that needs to be driven out of business. And then we've got Biden saying this at a dinner. We have to fully implement the most

significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years and then pass again the assault weapons ban which Diane and I passed. No excuse. Yeah, yeah, well, you know. God's name needs a weapon with a hundred rounds in a chamber.

Yeah, he likes to use God's name, doesn't he, when he's bragging about his power? Ukraine, more than the United States can take on at the same time. We're the United States of America, for God's sake. The most powerful nation in the history, not in the world, in the history of the world. The history of the world. We can take care of both of these and still make... I can do whatever I want. I'm God. I don't have to worry about taking God's name in vain. And you shouldn't have any weapons. The most powerful government in the world should have

all the weapons against even its own people. That's what this guy is coming from. He thinks we don't know? We see who he is. We know what he is. Only the military should have all these weapons. And the military should have all these weapons and the military that i command can kill as many people as i want for my power because i'm the most powerful man in the world i can do whatever i want okay we're going to go to our our interview here with george barna thank you for listening joining us now is George Barna. This is a very familiar name to Christians.

He has been the founder of the Barna Group, a market research firm that has specialized in looking at what is happening to our culture and to Christians in general, the intersection of faith and culture. He's been doing this for quite a while. He's written a lot of books, and he's got a new book now talking about, um, perhaps what we can do about some of the worst problems and maybe the, really the core issue as to the direction that our country has been going,

uh, down. Uh, so, uh, I want to talk to him about that book, but also, uh,

kind of get an idea of what he has seen with a front row seat since the 1980s in our country. Thank you for joining us, George Barna. Thank you for joining us, George. Yeah, thanks for having me on, David. Let's talk a little bit about that. Give people kind of, we all see what is happening to our culture, this detachment from reality, this postmodernism and all the rest of this stuff.

But give us some metrics, let's say, that you would have seen as part of the Barna group over the last few decades. Yeah, there have been a number of things that I've been tracking for about four decades. You know, one of those has to do with people's perspectives on truth. And what we've seen is a consistent deterioration of the notion that there is absolute moral truth that there can be such a thing as absolute moral truth uh so so that's a big issue because when you take that out of the equation you've got to go somewhere to get your understanding of reality and rather than go and search for any kind of

absolutes what we do is we turn inward and that's what's happened in america is now rather than say that we believe in god basically what we do is we believe in ourselves and so that's that's a big game changer right there as well, where we've seen a huge increase in the proportion of what I would call the don'ts, people who don't believe God exists, don't know if he exists, don't care if he exists. And, you know, we're basically with our young adults, people under 50, they represent close to a third of the population now. So that's a massive shift. We've seen a big shift in our morals, the basis of our morals. Of course, if there's no absolute moral truth, on what basis do we determine morality? Again, it's our feelings. And so that's a big shift. And now we're at a place where most Americans are confused about most major moral issues, whether we're talking about abortion, whether we're talking about divorce, whether we're talking about homosexuality, transgenderism, you know, basis of personal identity, all of that has seen major shifts in the last 10 to 15 years.

I would say that we're a society now that really gears itself toward trying to achieve happiness. And that's the major goal of most Americans. We want to be happy. We do what we can to ensure that our children will be happy and like that. And then, of course, you have to ask, well, why did all of these shifts take place and so much of it is because of the influence and exposure to media particularly arts and entertainment media and what i found in the research that i've been doing is that the greatest influence on our worldview, the kinds of decisions that we make, comes from media influence. So whether it's movies or television or social media or video games or whatever media you choose, that's having more influence than everything else combined in our lives, as best I can tell.

Even education, you would say. Yeah, even more than that. Wow, yeah. Well, it certainly is visceral. And if people are just going to turn inward to their feelings, that's what they're going to pick up on. You know, it's kind of interesting as we look at this detachment from any idea of objective truth.

It's gotten so bad that it reflects in our inability to even do or care about math or anything else like that. And, you know, even our gender, our biological gender, we don't have anything that is objective. Everything is subjective and whatever you want it to be. Even now we've got kids who are dressing up as furries. I mean, it's getting to an extreme that, you know, all of my life I would have looked at this and said, this is a parody. This can't be real. This is like something out of the Babylon Beat. But that's the reality that we live in right now, isn't it?

It really is. And so when you make your feelings the basis of your reality, you know, the whole game changes and so trying to reason with people becomes exceedingly difficult because americans are less and less willing to consider much less accept facts an empirical argument doesn't have much of a basis in America today. Yeah, and that's really going to tear our society apart in every regard. I mean, how do you even do science or engineering? It really was the understanding that there is a discoverable reality, a discoverable truth. That came, we had a lot of foundational scientists who were coming from that Christian perspective.

Francis Bacon and many others, Isaac Newton, we can discover God's truth. There is a reality here. Now we've taken God out of the equation and we've taken reality out of the equation. And so it's going to affect everything, even in our material society, the things that people are looking at to make them happy and comfortable. Those things are going to disappear as well because everything is hinged to that. Tell us a little bit, you coined some words that, some phrases in terms of looking at

this, spiritainment, that's entertainment based there as well as a spiritual, I guess. Tell us a little bit about that and why you coined that word. Well, there was a time a couple decades ago when there seemed to be a movement to really try to integrate faith into entertainment, particularly the Christian faith into entertainment. And so that term, you know, was the blending of spirituality and entertainment, recognizing that every entertainment vehicle conveys a worldview. And at that point in time, there seemed to be some momentum growing for the Christian, or excuse me, the biblical worldview being ingrained in more entertainment vehicles, particularly movies and television, but also an increasing amount of online entertainment, streamed entertainment.

That seems now to have diminished over the last decade or so. So that momentum that had been building up seemed to fall off. So that phrase never really picked up much momentum, just as that approach to entertainment development never picked up much momentum just as that approach to entertainment development never picked up i wonder if that could be kind of applied to what we see in some of the big mega churches that have fog machines everywhere that i always thought that the fog machine with all the contemporary worship was kind of a metaphor for something that was happening in those churches but uh you know they tried to pursue that entertainment aspect of it and um

you know it didn't work out too well. I think it is. We've had a couple of recent successes and perhaps there will be some new movement. It's hard to win a culture war if you don't have a culture, if you don't engage them in certain ways. And so, you know, we've had some fairly successful movies in the last couple of months. I don't know if that's going to be a trend or not. It's too soon to tell, isn't it? I think it is i think we'll probably always have one or two current examples

of christian-based entertainment that do well because there still remains in our culture a pretty significant number of people who really wrap their lives around their Christian faith. And so when those kinds of media vehicles are released, yes, they'll find that audience. But in terms of building greater attentiveness and a greater appetite for that kind of entertainment, I don't think that's been done effectively. And we're not at a point where it appears that we could sustain that right now. Yeah, it's going to be interesting because the other, uh, the standard Hollywood stuff has gotten so dark and so nihilistic, uh, that, uh, it's kind of collapsing in and of itself.

It's not really entertaining anymore. And, uh, you know, with, with what happened with the shutdowns of movie theaters and everything, I think they've had a hard time coming back. Um, and it's just, it's kind of just feeding on itself, and there's not really any creativity there. It seems like there's a real vacuum in that area, but who knows what will happen with that, which brings us to another one of the terms that you coined, SAGECONS.

Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah, that's an acronym for Spiritually Active Governance Engaged Conservative Christians. that. Yeah, that's an acronym for spiritually active, governance-engaged, conservative Christians. Age cons represent somewhere around 8, 9, maybe 10% of the adult population in America. And these are individuals whose lives are driven by their Christian faith, and one of the unique characteristics about them is that they're very tuned into politics, not because they care about it, not because they have a natural inclination toward it, but because they recognize that their faith in Christ calls them to be involved in every dimension of society and to try to influence it for the cause of Christ.

And so government is just one of those arenas. But the result of that is that they not only pay more attention to news and information about politics and government, but they vote every chance they get, and they really try to understand the issues more than the average American would. And you'd say that, is that increasing or decreasing, what you've seen lately? Are we getting more or less sage cons? Right. It's been stable for the last five years or so, but as we look forward and project to what's going to happen in the population, we expect that number to be on the decline. Unless there is some kind of an awakening, spiritual awakening, that's Bible-based, that takes place in America in the next decade or so.

We don't see that on the horizon. But you never know when the Holy Spirit's going to bring that kind of outpouring of faith. That's right. Yeah, that's what it's dependent upon. So you're looking at the sage cons, Spirit's going to bring that kind of outpouring of faith. That's right. Yeah, that's what it's dependent upon. So you're looking at, you know, the sage cons are going to be adults, probably a bit older. But as I said, you've been doing this since the 1980s. And a couple of decades ago, you kind of had an epiphany about what was really missing in terms of turning towards focusing on children. Tell us a little bit about that yeah well i've been doing a lot of research and continue to do a lot of research through

the cultural research center on worldview and what's uh there are a number of startling things i think about worldview in america one of which is how few Americans have a biblical worldview. It's 4% among adults right now, even less among young people, in spite of the fact that 68% of Americans consider themselves to be Christian. So there's a huge disconnect there. But a couple decades ago, as we were looking at some of the details of this, what we found is that a person's worldview begins developing between 15 to 18 months of age and 13 years of age. By the age of 13, a person's worldview is almost fully developed. Tell us a little bit before we go. Tell us your definition of a worldview there

so we i mean it's kind of self-explanatory but maybe you got something more specific and then tell us uh what you would say a biblical worldview sure yeah everybody has a worldview you need one to get through the day because you make hundreds and hundreds of decisions every day. You need a basis on which to make those decisions. And that's what your worldview is. It's the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual filter through which you make every choice that you make. It's the basis on which you make the decision. So it's based on your core beliefs about the world, about yourself,

about life, and all of your behaviors come from those beliefs. And so the idea here is you do what you believe. So I do research and a lot of people tell me they believe a lot of things, but I've learned that I can't just take that at face value. If you tell me you believe something, then I have to find some behavioral evidence that you actually do believe that. Because a lot of people say they believe a lot of things, but there is no evidence that that's the truth. You know, they act in contrast to what they say they believe. So your worldview is the conjunction of those two things, what you say you believe and what you do to prove that you believe it. And so there are dozens of worldviews that people can choose from.

One of those is what we call the biblical worldview. Now, the biblical worldview is based on biblical principles and precepts, those kinds of teachings that we get from Jesus, those kinds of principles that are laid out for us in the scriptures. And when I say only 4% of adults have a biblical worldview, that means that only 4% of adults consistently believe what the Bible teaches and then display that in their lifestyle. Why does that matter? From a Christian point of view, it matters because we've been called to be disciples of Jesus. And what that means is that we're going to be Christ-like. You demonstrate your Christ-likeness through your

behavior, but you've got to have biblical beliefs in order to have those behaviors. So that's how all those things fit together. What we find is that about 92% of Americans are syncretists. And what that means is that we've chosen not a single worldview, whether it's the biblical worldview, postmodernism, Eastern mysticism, nihilism, you know, there are many different worldviews to choose from. But what we do as a syncretist is we say, I don't buy any of those lock, stock, and barrel. I'm just going to pick a few things that they believe that I like. They make sense to me. And I'm going to combine them with a few beliefs from other worldviews as well.

So in other words, as a syncretist, you'll buy into postmodernism. You'll buy into secular humanism. You'll buy into Marxism. You'll buy into marxism you'll buy into eastern mysticism on and on down the line taking bits and pieces from each of those and crafting a customized worldview that makes you happy makes you comfortable and gives you tracks to run on yeah kind of do it a la carte right very much so yeah that that fits in with all the post-modernism as well uh so you were talking about children and you said they start forming that worldview at what about 15 months so just a little bit before a toddler and and then

it goes up to 13 that's kind of interesting because so many societies have you know looked at 13 years old as the beginning of manhood or womanhood, you know, bar mitzvah or whatever. And that's not just in the Jewish society. It's in many, many societies at 13. It's an interesting age, but we see that over and over again. Yeah, and of course, over the course of decades, we've had a lot of political leaders who, as they've been trying to figure out how can i stay in power for a longer period of time have made statements about give me a child until they're seven and i'll rule the world you know give me a young person until they're nine and they'll be mine for

life you know so you you've had people from aristotle on down to uh hitler and stalin and mao and mussolini who have made those same kind of pronouncements for different purposes, but they've recognized the importance of childhood. The Catholic Church, over the course of centuries, has made similar kinds of pronouncements, recognizing that importance, and that's why you have, you know, Catholic education being such an important thing in the catholic world and so i think we really dropped the ball on that yeah i think we really dropped the ball on that you know train up a child the way he should go and when he's old

he'll not depart from it right that that's you know hitler understood that it's the children don't understand that right i mean christians don't understand that certainly and you go back to the early chapters of the bible you go back to deuteronomy 6 and you've got a classic teaching there to jewish families about you know what it's your responsibility parents to take on the education of your children so talk to them when you have the opportunity when you're out on the road when you're having dinner when you're're spending free time together. Write these things on your foreheads, post them on your wrists, put them over your doorposts. The things that matter, make sure that you're always conversing to your children about these. And I would say, yeah, that's certainly something that we in the

Christian community in contemporary America have dropped. Yes, yes. Yeah, when we homeschooled our kids, they required us to create a name for our school. And so I said, well, let's call it the Peripatist Academy, because we'll do it peripetically. You know, we'll walk along with them in the way, in the same way that Jesus would do his disciples, and we'll point out as we're going through a life with them, the good and the bad of this and that, and try to put it in a perspective that they'd understand as Christians. Yeah, and you know, that's one of the beautiful things about homeschooling is that you get

to build that relationship with your children wherein they come to trust you and you can have conversations on such a wide range of activities that both relate to academic subjects and that don't relate to academic subjects, but relate to real life. And so, as we've done our research over the past couple of years in particular, we found that homeschool children are the ones who are most likely to grow up to have a biblical worldview. And it's precisely because parents have the luxury, if you will, of that time spent with their children looking at every aspect of life, not just worrying about addition and subtraction, but really trying to figure out what are the important life principles that I can convey to my children, sometimes through an academic subject, sometimes

not. Yes. Yes. And they have sacrificed to do that. But it's that very interaction that they have for the kids that is their true reward. So it is kind of an interesting way that this works itself out if you've got your priorities straight. So from 15 months to 13 years, they're establishing their worldview. And then what

happens? Well, during the teen years and through maybe the mid-20s or so, what we find is that's a period of time where now that the worldview has been developed, young people are trying to figure out how to articulate it, how to implement it, how to refine it so that it works most effectively for them in any given situation. In the course of that period of time, that 15-year period or so, they're also sometimes changing some of their worldview beliefs and behaviors based on the ways that they're trying to articulate and implement it. But then what we find is from the late 20s on through sometime in the 60s, typically people just accept what they've developed during those earlier years, and they actually become evangelists most americans though don't

evangelize for jesus they evangelize for themselves what they're trying to do is to get other people to buy into their beliefs and behaviors because if somebody else embraces your worldview or elements of it you feel better about yourself you feel like you've proven that you got it right. And then when we get into our mid to late 60s, that then becomes the final worldview era of our life. When we sit back and examine how we did, and we ask the question, gee, did we get it right? Could we have done it better? And at that stage, stage most of us i'm in that stage now you know we're we're grandparents or or some of my you know peers are great grandparents and so we're thinking about okay with with our grandchildren and great-grandchildren should we be teaching

and preaching and modeling something different than we had earlier in our life. Because now we can see, yeah, we kind of blew it in this aspect of our worldview. We still have a chance to get it right and to pass that on. Yeah, that's a very interesting perspective, those four stages there. Now, your newest book, and you've written about 50 books, but your newest one, which just came out Labor Day, is Raising Spiritual Champions, Nurturing Your Child's Heart, Mind, and Spirit. Tell us a little bit about the book and the message that it's giving people in terms of, you know, how do you do this? Everybody's looking for a how-to book, but a bigger, you know, a larger perspective, I'm sure, is what's involved in it. It's not just a

step-by-step program, but tell us a little bit about that book. Well, the book is based on the seven original research projects that we did across the nation, trying to understand parents and churches and adolescents and teenagers. We even did a study, a content analysis study, of the most popular media that children are exposed to. The television programs they watch consistently, some of the streaming programs they consistently are exposed to, those types of things. What I was trying to do in the book was to give us an understanding of what's happening in parenting today. What does the Bible exhort us to do as parents? And how can we get closer to that

biblical model of parenting, given the existing culture in which we're being called to raise our children? So, it's kind of a full-orbed approach to understanding all this. Why? Because as parents, we have the primary responsibility to raise up our children. And how are we supposed to raise them? We're supposed to help them to become disciples of Jesus Christ. So the book is geared toward helping parents understand what does it mean to be a disciple? How do you disciple a young person? How do we know if we're doing that well?

What are churches that are doing it well doing? Because I want to be part of that kind of church. Most churches are not doing it well, as it turns out. But we found out that there are some that are doing it properly and appropriately and effectively. What kind of church should you look for there? And ultimately, how do you know when you're hitting the ball out of the park? That's great. Give us an example of something that you see that is in contrast to what is a good practice, a biblical practice, versus what is a common practice with parenting. Well, the common parenting practice in America today I characterize as outsourcing. And as I did the research,

I discovered it's not with malintent that parents are throwing up their hands and say, I don't have the time and I don't have the expertise to do this. It's because they love their children so much that they're saying, I don't have the time and I don't have the expertise. So let me do the best thing I can for them, which is hire experts that I want to bring in and let them raise my child for me. And so what we do is we bring in experts in education, tutors. We bring in experts in athletics, coaches. We bring in experts in spirituality, children's pastors. We bring in experts in various hobbies and

extracurricular activities. All of these experts that we hire to do what we feel I'm really not sufficiently versed to know how to do it. And I'm working hard to make the money to hire these people, so I don't have the time to do it. And I've got other interests than my children that I feel I need to engage in for some kind of self-care, you know, give myself a break, lower my anxiety levels. That's why I don't have the time. So, that's the way that parents are approaching it. Now, the biblical model is actually quite different. The biblical model says when you have children under the age of 13, this is a season of sacrifice for you. So get used to maybe not working as many hours. Get used to not doing everything you can to get the promotion, to get the raise, you know, to start your own company, to do whatever,

the things that are going to take the most time and energy and effort on your part. This is the time where you put most of your energy and effort and expertise into raising up your child to be a follower of Jesus. And so your schedule is going to look very different. And in fact, what you do during the day is going to look different. Number one, you've got to have a plan for how you spiritually develop your child. If that's your chief goal during these years, don't go about it willy-nilly just haphazardly hoping that something good is going to happen with their faith and maybe if you just bring them to church services often enough and church events it's all going to work it's not the church's job it's your

job the church is there to support you as you do that and And that's the kind of church, by the way, that you need to be looking for. We can talk more about that. But it's on your shoulders to be doing that task. And so you've got to have a plan. It doesn't happen by default. People do not become disciples of Jesus by accident. And with your children, during those first 13 years, the foundations that you put in place or don't put in place are what's going to determine, to the largest extent, whether or not they ever become disciples of Christ. Yeah, that's very true. You know, when I have talked for a long time to people about homeschooling, what I frequently, what I hear from them is, I just don't feel qualified enough, just as what you're talking about. They're trying to outsource this to somebody else they feel is going to do a better job with math or this. And of course, you can pull in

there's so many experts that are available that have classes on this that you can pull that in and they can do that or you can set up some kind of co-op thing or something like that. But it really is born out of this feeling that they're not up to the task. And we would always tell people, you only got to keep a couple of steps ahead of this kid. Even if you didn't do well in school, you just got to keep a couple of lessons ahead of them.

And you might learn some stuff that you never learned in school because you didn't like school. And, you know, but the key thing is, from a Christian perspective, is that God gave you these kids. And so he also gave you the ability to do what is necessary. And I think that's the key thing. And it's that relationship that is there that is lost, as you point out. That's a great term, outsourcing it to other people, because you think other people can do a better job of this or that. And then you miss that time with the kid. You spend all your time shuffling them from one of these activities from one expert to another. And you just become kind of a soccer mom type of facilitator or chauffeur. You don't really ever

have that time with them. I've seen that as well as I've been growing up. That is an excellent way to describe it, outsourcing, I think. Tell us, I'm sorry, go ahead. You know, and just to tag onto that, one of the great dangers of outsourcing is that often those people are introducing different worldview perspectives to your children than you want them to have. So they might be a great soccer coach, but there may be things about anger and about treating other people and thoughts about money, you know, growing up to be a professional soccer player. I mean, all these other ideas that are being introduced to your children that are ones that the Bible might not agree with. And so when you hand your children over to these other authority figures, you're handing over your authority at the same time.

And that's a great danger. Yes, that is really true. Yeah, you want it. That's how we get the a la carte syncretism, right? With all these different forces that are there. You were talking about church. And so, you know, what kind of church is a good church that's going to support the parents? So many times I look at churches and they have so many activities that they've got set up. And I often think about a cruise that I went on with our family. It was Karen's parents' 50th anniversary. I want to take everybody on a cruise. It was a Disney cruise.

And we get on there and this is a family cruise. So it's like, okay, what activities do you have for the family? Well, we'll put a bracelet on the kids and we'll take them over here and we've got all kinds of stuff. And then, you know, you can do these things. And it's like, no, no, what do you have for us to do together? They didn't have anything for us to do together. They said, well, nobody's asked us about that before.

Yeah, you take this family cruise and you could outsource your kids over here to be entertained and babysat and whatever and then you could go do these other activities and it's like no we don't want to do that uh but it tells and so when i look at churches many times i see that type of thing happening in in the churches what what is the kind of church that is most effective at supporting parents and their task? Yeah, one of the things that I try to get Christian parents to do, or any parents really if they're getting engaged with the church, is to recognize, you know what? The single most important ministry in the entire church is the ministry to children. Because if what we're there to do is to build up somebody's faith, develop that faith, reinforce that faith, release that faith into the world, all of the foundations for that happen before the age of 13. And so, what's going on in the children's ministry is the single most

important ministry in the church. So, when you go to a church, don't go there saying, gee, I hope they make me happy. You know, I mean, frankly, what our research has found for the last 40 years is that adults don't change. You know, so you're going to go in, believe in what you believe. You're going to come out pretty much believe in the same thing. We did a longitudinal study, tracked people over 30 plus years, and found that the worldview of adults doesn't change. Most Americans die with the same worldview that they had at the age of 13. And so, you know, let's look at that children's ministry. What do you want to look at?

Number one, take a look at the children's pastor. One of the pieces of research that we did for this book was with pastors across the country what we discovered is that seven out of every eight children's pastors do not have a biblical worldview you can't get what you don't have yeah and so when children are going to seven out of eight children's ministries, they're not going to be taught biblical truth. They're going to be taught stuff that satisfies the needs of the ministry. What are the needs of that ministry? Well, parents are saying, you know what? I want my child to be safe. I want my child to be happy. I want my child to be around some good kids, and I want them to be exposed to some kind of religious teaching. And that's about as far as it goes. You know, we know when we talk

with senior pastors across the country, again, a majority of whom do not have a biblical worldview, we ask them, how do you know if your church is healthy and successful? They said, oh, we measure five things. How many people show up? How much money is raised? How many programs we offer? How many staff people we get to hire? How much square footage we've built out? Look, I'm a measurement guy,

so I'm glad they're measuring something. But as a measurement guy, I know you get what you measure. Yeah. And so when those are your measures, what you're going to get is a mega church, a place that's well marketed. But keep in mind that Jesus didn't die for any of those five things. So those shouldn't be the

key measures that we're looking at. So when you're looking for a children's ministry, look for the stuff that matters to Jesus. Because if it matters to Jesus, and it matters to the church, that's what they're going to be sharing with your child. Oh, that's great advice. So, you know, it's time with the kids. There is no substitute quantity with the kids. There's no substitute in terms of quality, in terms of outsourcing the kids. And it's very important that you understand who is going to be holding their heart

at various times, right? And that really is a key thing. I think people need to think of it that way. You know, if you think of somebody holding something as fragile as a heart and you don't realize that that is really what is happening at these very tender ages is very, very malleable.

And it's kind of interesting that you point out that the world view of adults really doesn't change uh of course we were told that you know i believe it because in the bible and uh but your research has has borne that out uh so um it is interesting because we do have people who've had uh some exceptions to that i guess uh that would be the exceptions uh that have had a very difficult uh upbringing and uh but god has stepped into their life and uh worked in a way to uh radically change them right that but that's that's really the exception would you say it is the exception and one of the interesting things i did actually the biggest study i've ever done was on that very thing and what i found is that there are the way that people change is god allows them to go through a crisis you know we tend to think of a crisis as something to avoid at all

costs it's painful we don't want to endure it And yet God uses crisis to get our attention and to shake us up enough to reconsider some of the basic foundations of our worldview. And what I discovered is that there tend to be six different crises that are most common that are effective at shaking us up enough that, yes, we can move more and more toward having a biblical worldview. You know, an ugly divorce, the painful death of someone who is close to you that you loved, contracting or a debilitating illness or having some kind of debilitating injury, losing all of your possessions in a natural disaster, spending time in prison, and going through personal bankruptcy. Those six things represent a majority of the crises that have enabled people to get to a place where God could continue the transformational process

in their life. And they moved away from a secular mindset and heart set more toward a biblical mindset so yeah it's possible you know and that's the hope that parents need who blew it with their young kids you know because it's never over if if you're just hearing this and you're saying oh my gosh my my child is 14, 16, and 18. You know, what do I do now? It's like, okay, don't give up hope. Keep in mind that discipleship is a relationship. It's a relationship with Jesus first, and it's a relationship with another disciple, somebody who wants to bring you into that relationship with Christ. So it's all about relationship. What do you do with that relationship? You invite that

other person on the journey with you. It's not something where you give them homework and say, go and learn these verses. Go and figure out how to make this real in your life. It's more so like, hey, let's check this out. Let's see how this works together. You know, we'll read the passages. We'll talk about the passages, we'll go and we'll exhibit the passages in our lives. That's how discipleship works. How do we know that? Because that's what Jesus did. Yes, yes.

Well, that really is true. And, you know, when you're talking about that through crisis and through pain, that's what C.S. Lewis said. You know, God speaks us uh through our pain and and actually i think you use the analogy of you know the blows of a sculptor uh changing us in our life nobody wants to go through that but it is a a really a loving process and i think we go back and we look at the crises in our lives as i'm about your age and we we're in the review stage here and we look at the most difficult times in our life. That was a time when God spoke to us and moved us in a different direction.

Yeah. That's true. And our tendency is to try to restore everything to quote-unquote normal. Yeah, that's right. Well, often the reason that we're having the crisis is because normal ain't working for us. So to be willing to say, okay, this might be a great opportunity for me to rethink this a little bit, that's the direction God may be pushing us. That's true. And when I look at some of the discussion points here about your book, Embrace an Eternal Perspective, properly define what a successful life is. That's

one of the key things. You know, if God is going to, you know, as you point out, if the normal is not working for you, maybe he's got a new normal for you. It's going to change what you really want and how you define success is not just simply being comfortable. Maybe it's something else, isn't it? It is. And, you know, for those parents who are trying to get a handle on, okay, okay, but where do I start with all of this? I feel overwhelmed. I'm not a theologian. I don't know where to start. One of the greatest discoveries I feel that I've ever made out of the data, you know, I feel like Isaac Newton here, is a really late one that is like one or two in the

morning. I'm playing with data. And one of the things I found is there are seven particular beliefs that fit together and can serve as a great biblical worldview foundation. of these very simple biblical perspectives, and you try to carry them out in your life, you'll have an 83% probability of going on to develop a complete biblical worldview. If you reject any one, one or more of these seven, I'm calling them the cornerstones of the biblical worldview, if you reject one or more of the cornerstones, then you've got only a 2% probability of developing a biblical worldview. That's how important these seven elements are. And, you know, when people hear them, you know, devoted Christians laugh, come on, that's Sunday School 101. Yeah, but apparently most people didn't pay attention

during Sunday School 101. That's why we started 15 months. That's right. Tell us real quickly what they are. I'm dying to know. Yeah. I mean, number one is you not only believe that God exists, but you know that in terms of his nature and character, he's all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful. He's perfect. He's just.

He wants to be involved in your life because he created you, because he wants to love you. He wants that relationship. Okay, knowing there's that kind of God who's perfect and just and holy and so forth, that's great, but cornerstone number two, but recognize that we're born as sinners. We sin throughout our lives. We're born into that approach. And every choice we make has consequences, and our sins have eternal consequences. And so, cornerstone number three is recognizing that the only real antidote to that consequence, the negative consequence of our sins, is Jesus Christ. So, what we can do is acknowledge that we're sinners, you know, own up to it, fess up to it, ask him to forgive us for our sins, and most importantly,

truly repent, genuinely repent, which means that not just I'm saying, yeah, give me, you know, eternal fire insurance, but it's saying, I really feel remorse over the fact that these choices of mine, these sins break God's heart. I don't want to do that anymore. So God give me the strength to fight back the temptation to keep sinning. Cornerstone number four is saying that, you know what? We know what those sins are because God gave us his word. He gave us principles for life. So he identifies sins.

He identifies the right way to live. He identifies what gives him and us joy. And Cornerstone number five is saying that, and the Bible in the course of doing so, gives us absolute moral truths. And so it's not based on our life conditions. It's not based on our feelings. It's not based on our situation. It's not based on what's most popular or most common. God has given us absolute moral truths. And when we reject those, we will reap the consequences of what we've sown through that rejection. Cornerstone number six goes to what you were saying, recognizing what success in life is. And the Bible tells us that God makes it very

clear that success is not about money. It's not about cars. It's not about the trophy spouse, you know, any of that kind of stuff, fame, etc. It's simply about being consistently obedient to God. You can be a homeless person wearing rags, not knowing if you're going to get another meal, but if you're consistently obedient to God, you are a success in life, not in the world's eyes, but in God's eyes. And then the final one is understanding that when God created you, he loved you and he gave you a purpose for life. And that universal purpose that all of us share, there's a unique purpose he'll give to each of those who are following Jesus. But that universal purpose each of us has is very simply to know, love, and serve God with all

our heart, mind, strength, and soul. So when you put these seven things together, it completely changes your understanding of how life works, who you are, why you're here, how to live, how to gauge whether or not your life is making the difference that God wants it to make. And yet those seven things are very easy for us as parents to wrap our arms around and to be able to share those with our children and to go on a journey with our children pursuing those seven things. And as you were alluding to earlier, the way I say to parents is, look, you don't have to be a theologian. You only have to be 10 seconds ahead of your kids. And if you are, this is going to work.

It's going to work great. Invite them on the journey with you. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. If you can now think that 15-month-old, stay a few steps ahead of them, you got it made. And God will give you what you need to do that. He always does equip us for the things that he assigns to us.

And that's the key thing, stepping out in faith. And we've had a lot of people have to do that over the last couple of years when they were confronted with things in their own life that were going to be shut off to them if they didn't violate their conscience. And so I think that may have been a difficult time of training for many people in our society. And so that makes me very optimistic about the future because we've had a lot of people who have been under the sculptor's chisel for the last few years and came through from the other side. And to this new normal, they've got a very different perspective after having gone through that. Well, that certainly is sage advice, and it looks like an excellent book. Again, the book is, you can pull the book up, Raising Spiritual Champions,

Nurturing Your Child's Heart, Mind, and Spirit. And you can find that at, I guess, best place, Amazon. Is that the best place to find that or do you sell it directly? It is. Yeah. And we've got it both in paperback and digital versions. so whichever you prefer, it's available. That's great. And how can people keep up with it? Do you have a sub-stack or anything like that, or a website that you tell people that you publish on? Yeah, if they go to culturalresearchcenter.com,

they'll find all the research that we do. We try to put as much of it on that website for free as possible so people can take it, use it, share it. You know, the whole idea here is for us to keep growing as disciples of Jesus. So every time we learn something, we want to be able to share it with the public. That's great. That's great. Well, it certainly is great advice, and you've been watching bigger trends in people's lives, and you have seen how this aligns with the Bible.

So that's your biblical worldview. You have seen it validated what the Bible says. You've seen that validated over a long period of time. And you have a lot of very sage advice for people. Thank you so much for joining us, George Barna. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, David.
