Yeah, Okay, let's do it. Ill Martinez Live a program

3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.440
about current events.

4
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.160
Our culture, our values, our politics, and our future.

5
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.880
And now Bill Martinez.

6
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.399
Six minutes after top of the hour, Bill Martinez here,

7
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.480
and we've got Joshua Fellow back with us. Always good

8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.679
to have him on the show. He is an award

9
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.800
winning journalist senior investigative reporter at Epic Times. Joshua, good

10
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:28.920
to have you back with us. How are you.

11
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.960
It's always a pleasure, interesting times. No shortage of news.

12
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:35.640
At least, well to say the least.

13
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:36.079
I mean.

14
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.960
Meanwhile, you know, Iran is I don't know, it seems,

15
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.320
and we're hopeful that maybe we're coming to some point

16
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.240
of you know, some kind of agreement or settlement here.

17
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.200
I don't know. I just think that you knowing these

18
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.399
people traditionally, this is a death cult. It's the same

19
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.320
way as Hamas, you know down in the guy Asa.

20
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.520
You know, you got to root them out. And I

21
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.840
don't think they're gonna give They're gonna give up this easily.

22
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.480
I think they're just playing a game. You know.

23
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.959
We keep getting mixed messages on what's actually happening there.

24
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:13.519
You know, I think there's a lot of concern now

25
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.040
that we're gonna be sending ground troops. Trump saying that's

26
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:20.120
not gonna happen. Israel says it's needed. Trump is sending,

27
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.400
you know, I believe, like an air division, it seems

28
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.120
right now, these troops are going to be working on

29
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.519
rebuilding some of the destroyed bases, which will be used

30
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.840
as like platforms to launch air you know, air attacks.

31
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.959
As as things currently stand, the United States basically controls

32
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.120
the air and the sea, which you really can't defend against.

33
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:41.799
On the ground.

34
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.959
We have a ten wart hogs blasting and they're sitting

35
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.599
in Apache helicopters now, you know, really, I think what

36
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.599
we're watching is the whittling away of the entire Iranian military.

37
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.640
The Navy's already basically gone, the air force is gone,

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.959
the air defense is gone. I think the next step

39
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.439
is just the ground forces and what remains of those.

40
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.439
But even checkpoints are being blown up on a regular basis.

41
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.800
I don't think the Iranian regime is going to last

42
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:11.439
much longer. But you're right, there are also a death could.

43
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.039
They really are and they will fight to the last.

44
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.840
Man, I believe well.

45
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.599
And the thing is is that, you know, Trump is

46
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.280
trying to be prudent and not destroy their economic infrastructure,

47
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.400
whatever's remaining. You know, Israel is saying, look at we

48
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.400
just want you got to take them out. And Israel

49
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.439
knows better than us and Donald Trump, even though his

50
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.520
ego won't allow him to, you know, to consider that

51
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.840
because they have been there, you know, and this is

52
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.599
something that they've been dealing with for thousands of years.

53
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.840
This is not something that's only happened in the last

54
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:49.599
couple of years.

55
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.879
Right well, you know, it kind of reminds me of

56
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.120
the early days of Desert Storm, when you know, America

57
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.240
rolled into be Rock and I believe with Saddam Hussein

58
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.000
set all the oil wells on fire exactly. You know,

59
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.439
they were saying it was going to take forever to

60
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.000
put those out. The US put them out relatively quickly.

61
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.599
They made these They're pretty cool looking, these giant vehicles

62
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:16.400
that like giant wind blowers. Basically, Israel had started blowing

63
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.280
up the oil infrastructure in Iran. Trump stopped them. I

64
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.000
personally believe Trump stopped them because he wanted to. He

65
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.520
wanted to try to make a peace deal with the

66
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.759
Iranian regime. They're an oil economy they're entirely their entire

67
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.439
economy is oil. Any future the country is going to

68
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.960
be probably oil. And you know, on that point, it's

69
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.479
not like you blow it up and you can't build

70
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:38.120
it back again.

71
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:39.199
I do.

72
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:43.919
I do think in America's interests, probably even other countries' interests,

73
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.280
it would be better to destroy those, take away the ownership,

74
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.400
and have different companies build them.

75
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:51.479
Then it would be under.

76
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.520
Different ownership, not under Iranian ownership. But I think what's

77
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.680
what's at play with that is kind of whether or

78
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.840
not the ability to negotiate on a future for he

79
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:03.879
run with the what remains in the leadership?

80
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.960
Well, and the problem that you have is what is

81
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.919
where's what's the leadership right now? I mean, they've killed

82
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.520
everybody and you know, and this is the question that

83
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.360
that most people are asking, is that, Okay, I and

84
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.279
I want to believe. I want to have faith and

85
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.000
trust in Trump that you know, he is making his

86
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.240
decision based on people he's negotiating with, but he's saying,

87
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.720
look at it's backed up by action. You know, they

88
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.040
they have whoever is there that he's negotiating with has

89
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.199
some sphere of influence to be able to do this

90
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.680
but you know, how long will that last? Before you know,

91
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.480
they they treat him like a like a wrestler they

92
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.000
don't like anymore and send him to the gallows.

93
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.199
Well, I mean that is a real question. So you

94
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.600
know current Iranian leadership. Basically, here's what happened. You know,

95
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.720
Trump rolled in Israel world in they killed the entire leadership.

96
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.600
It seems there was a bit of a bait and switch.

97
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.959
He Ron believed that there was not going to be

98
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.800
a US strike, and they all got kind of put

99
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.079
their guard down. They gathered in a single building and

100
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:07.639
they just blew up the entire building.

101
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:08.920
As what happened.

102
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.600
They then got together, appointed new leadership, and then the

103
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:16.800
Trump team and Israel killed the entire new leadership. Then

104
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.560
they appointed a third wave of leadership, and it's kind

105
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.560
of all over the place. I think part of the

106
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.319
problem they're having right now in terms of, you know,

107
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.399
making a deal really is there's no real Iranian leadership

108
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.279
right now. If you want my personal take, I'd say

109
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.120
a lot of it's being run from outside Iran. I

110
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.639
would say that you probably have sources or elements that

111
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.920
had some influence over the government, based probably in Russia,

112
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.839
maybe even some in China, but I'd say more likely Russia,

113
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.120
and I think they're pulling the strings on it. The

114
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.519
question is can they appoint a new leadership while the

115
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.720
son of the former Shah of Iran, he's kind of

116
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.279
the choice right now. Trump doesn't seem too keen on him,

117
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:58.959
but he does seem to be the choice, especially among

118
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.079
the Iranian people and the sad reality or good reality,

119
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.000
I don't know, a lot of these countries, the only

120
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.879
stable form of government tends to be monarchy. You know,

121
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.120
Hamas is a democratically elected government. You know, let him

122
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.279
choose their own government. It's going to be Isis or

123
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:20.600
something like that. You know, Hamas is democredit So maybe

124
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.720
monarchy is a solution left to see.

125
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.759
Well, Iran hasn't traditionally, I mean yes, with the Shaw

126
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:31.000
of Iran, a monarchy initially started out. He was somewhat

127
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.480
more leaning toward democracy, and then he got carried away

128
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.480
with himself and then of course we saw what Jimmy

129
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.000
Carter did, no, thank you very much, and then we

130
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.120
bring you know, we bring the Iatolas in and the Malas.

131
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.360
You know, what a great exchange on that deal. But

132
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.319
you have I think what I'm hearing on the ground

133
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.199
there within Iran is that you know, they don't want

134
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.759
a monarchy. They don't want certainly they don't want another

135
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.759
religious uh you know, totalitarian form of government like the Iatolas,

136
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.680
and you've got a government in exile, so to speak

137
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.079
of Iran. That is saying, look at we want to

138
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.000
you know, govern Iran with you know, non nuclear ambitions,

139
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.959
being democratic, you know, letting women you know again enjoy

140
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:27.079
the things that women enjoyed forty nine years ago, and

141
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.120
you know, which could would be quite revolutionary and quite

142
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.800
refreshing if that could happen. I mean, that could that

143
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.199
could have just a great impact on the Middle East,

144
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:36.000
don't you think.

145
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:37.879
It actually could?

146
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.240
In Iran is kind of a different Not all these

147
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.759
countries are the same, you know, and that sounds funny

148
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.560
to say, but it's really true, and they're very different. Iran,

149
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.319
the Iranian people are much different from you know, the

150
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.720
Afghanis for example, where you're dealing with more of like

151
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.519
a medieval type population. You know, they're kind of still

152
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.959
in the Middle Ages. They're different, for example, from the

153
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.319
Iraqi people, who you know, tend to be more at

154
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.519
least they used to be very much embedded with the

155
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.720
kind of leadership they had. The Iranian people, most people

156
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.959
who fled Iran after the collapse of you know, after

157
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.240
the coming about of the Iranian Revolution and so on,

158
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.399
you know, seventy nine, they don't call themselves Iranian. They

159
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.040
call themselves Persian. And if you talk to a lot

160
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.639
of them, they say that Iran used to be a

161
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.000
Western country, like they regarded it as a Western country, right,

162
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.440
And if you saw videos and images or whatever else

163
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.799
from before the seventy nine revolution, they were very close

164
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.039
to a Western country. A lot of them really do

165
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.039
not like the leadership, you know, at the times. They

166
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.039
have some good sources. We've actually been talking to sources

167
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.759
on the ground there. There is actually pretty broad support

168
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.679
for the son of the Shah. There is massive, massive

169
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.200
lack of support for the current regime. And oddly enough,

170
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.480
and this may sound surprising to some people, a lot

171
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:01.720
of the Iranians really like is. And I'm not just

172
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.440
saying that is some like, oh, you know, polytical thing.

Joshua Film continues with us the award winning journalist senior

268
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.840
investigative reporter at the Epic Times. As you were saying

269
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.960
before the break is yes, the Persian people, and that

270
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.480
needs to be extracted a bit, you know, And you know,

271
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.120
because the Persian people kind of make up something like

272
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.240
ten twelve different factions, don't they. And you're right, I mean,

273
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:42.440
they were traditionally very you know, very progressive, very westernized,

274
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.559
and I think it's quite interesting because when you go

275
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.679
back in the history of Persia, it was the Persians

276
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:54.080
that liberated Israel if you remember under King Cyrus, if

277
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.639
I remember correctly, and then now here you've got Israelis

278
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:02.639
coming in to liberate Hersia Iran to return the favor.

279
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.679
I think it's quite hit, quite interesting.

280
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.559
Yeah, so at the Times we actually just published a

281
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.600
story on this. It's kind of it's kind of funny.

282
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.080
It's a bit dark, but kind of funny. Basically, you know,

283
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.360
Trump right now is trying to get the Iranian people

284
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.960
to rise up and overthrow the regime. And I think

285
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.919
that is the real goal. He wants the Iranian people

286
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.799
to take back their country. The problem is is when

287
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.320
you're a country where you're not allowed to own guns, and.

288
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.240
I was gonna say, they've only killed. We were talking

289
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.759
to Gary Pinto, you know, boots on the ground, you know,

290
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.759
the guy, and he's you know, we're saying, you know,

291
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.720
because news reporting, you know, something like forty fifty thousand

292
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.360
people have been is bill. Let's know, it's like try

293
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:42.399
eighty five thousand.

294
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.919
Yeah, but that also creates a lot of bad blood

295
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.360
and discontent. Like a lot of them really do not

296
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.600
like the regime. The problem is they haven't really been

297
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.240
able to do much about it. One of the ways

298
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.840
the regime has been suppressing people is with checkpoints. So

299
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.679
they set up these checkpoints and they check people like

300
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.080
you know, dissidents and everything else, and they kill them.

301
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.200
And so what's been happening now is that the Iranian people.

302
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:09.879
I don't know how they did it, but they have

303
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.799
like a quick line to Israel. Anytime there's a checkpoint,

304
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.200
they call it, they actually report it, and very rapidly

305
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.759
Israel rolls in with drones and destroys it. It's actually

306
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.720
become so common now that it's it's also become an

307
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.919
element in Iran where when people get stuck in traffic

308
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.240
lines because it's a checkpoint, they play on their on

309
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:34.639
their radio loudly the sound of a drone and then

310
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.320
they watches the checkpoint guards like flee for their lives.

311
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:39.840
It's it's almost like a joke they have.

312
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:44.360
Oh my gosh, well that's well, you know, leave it,

313
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.960
leave it to the people to figure this out. And

314
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.200
and God bless them, you know for being able to

315
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.840
do that. Uh you know, because again I mean you

316
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.039
think about the boldness I mean here it is. They

317
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:01.960
kill you know, they hang a no did wrestler, you know,

318
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.720
along with two other I think they were what nineteen

319
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.880
year old kids were, you know, standing up against the government.

320
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.480
You know, they were part of the resistance and they

321
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.200
hang them. I mean, what does that say.

322
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.880
Well, and you know the important thing is you're like,

323
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.799
you could say, oh, well, they killed all the you know,

324
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.720
all the people who tried overthrowing the regime. Every one

325
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.400
of those people has a mother and a father and

326
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.119
cousins and aunts and uncles and you know, probably siblings,

327
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:36.799
maybe even kids. You do that to a person, those

328
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:37.480
people are.

329
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.039
Going to hate the regime. They're going to hate the regime.

330
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.960
And not only did the Iranian regime kill people who

331
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.839
were protesting, they were even going into the hospitals afterwards

332
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:50.519
and killing all the people who were injured, which was crazy.

333
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.599
They were even tracking people down afterwards and killing them.

334
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.759
And so, you know, I think for the Iranian people,

335
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.880
they're still a bit hesitant on going out in protesting.

336
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:02.799
They're still kind of worried out, well, are they going

337
00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.319
to kill me? Like, what's going to happen? I think

338
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.000
right now what they need is clear assurance that the

339
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:12.240
policy is the destruction of the entire Iranian leadership, that

340
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.640
they will be held to account. Then I think the

341
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.319
Iranian people will probably rise up. But you know, I

342
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.720
do think Trump is betting on that happening, and they're

343
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:22.160
trying to work towards that as well.

344
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.240
How can they do it without being armed?

345
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.920
No, I mean you know that can be arranged.

346
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.599
Well, yeah, exactly, but yeah, and another that or you

347
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:35.160
get the you know, the local military for the local

348
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.559
law enforcement, you know, to come across and cross the line.

349
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.839
I orgc forget that. They're not going to, although they're

350
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.240
in a little bit of pain because unless they've stalked

351
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.160
away money. But I'm hearing that they're running you know,

352
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.440
they're running law on funds right now as well.

353
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:50.720
Well.

354
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.480
So this is important too.

355
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.039
And this was told to us by sas other sources

356
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.319
actually in Israel, you know epic times.

357
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:58.759
Of course, we have a lot of good sources.

358
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.640
What we were told was that when when Israel was

359
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.440
launching you know, this is kind of the second chapter

360
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.640
of the battle they had with Iran. The first part

361
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.160
was that of this was before when there was an

362
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.880
exchange of missiles. Uh, they had the exploding pagers as

363
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.119
everybody might remember. During that during that exchange, Israel actually

364
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.440
killed a lot of the military leadership of Iran, so

365
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.200
a lot of the generals of the IRGC, a lot

366
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.039
of the ones who were carrying out the domestic suppressions.

367
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.039
A lot of them were killed. What we're told is

368
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:31.480
that a lot of the current security in Iran, and

369
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.400
you know the regime forces, a lot of it's foreign,

370
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:36.400
a lot of it was brought in through other other

371
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.400
Muslim countries.

372
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.880
Okay, yeah, that that makes But you know, I want

373
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.839
I want to switch her just a moment because you

374
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:49.079
bring up something in your article about Narco Polo, because

375
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.279
we said this right away, is that, uh, you know,

376
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.319
America's adversaries have got to be looking at America's firepower

377
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.799
and what's on display and talking specif about Russia and China.

378
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.200
I mean, what a demonstration of military might enforce?

379
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:13.680
Right, So China and Russia's military is both of them

380
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.200
are a bit of a paper tiger. There's a lot

381
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:18.799
of smoke and mirrors when it comes to military power.

382
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:19.640
You know.

383
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:21.680
One of the big scandals in China or others, there's

384
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.599
a few big scandals.

385
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:23.680
Let me lay it out.

386
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:29.400
Basically, China was selling the world missile defense systems military equipment,

387
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.359
saying buy from US and you can defend yourself against

388
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.720
the United States of America. Venezuela was buying stuff from them,

389
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.000
Iran was buying stuff from them, and then the world

390
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:43.920
watched as Chinese air defense systems were taken out immediately.

391
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.119
Did not defend the leadership. They could not even defend

392
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:50.640
the president of the country in Maduro's case, from being abducted,

393
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.920
not even killed, but just even like boots on the ground, abducted.

394
00:20:54.880 --> 00:21:00.680
They watched as the entire infrastructure, missiles, everything failed. The

395
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.960
Chinese military effectively is useless against the power of the

396
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.720
United States.

397
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.880
It is useless.

398
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.680
And that was that terrified Chinese leadership based on what

399
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.519
we were told. Also the other thing too, is it

400
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:16.000
turns out as the CCP has been investigating its own

401
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:20.640
weapons systems, they're finding massive corruption. There's been reports of

402
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:24.759
missiles filled with water. It's a giant show of smoke

403
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:28.000
and mirrors. The guy who made the J twenty China

404
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:30.920
so called fifth generation fighter jet, it turns out the

405
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:35.720
things a death trap. It's a giant sham. There's allegations

406
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:38.000
right now that Shiji Ping even had the guy killed

407
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:41.480
who made it, one of the top engineers that allegedly

408
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.640
had him killed because he defrauded the country so badly

409
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.119
claiming that they had developed a fifth generation fighter jet.

410
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.519
When it's not. Not only is it not, which I

411
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.400
think they knew it's actually it was actually based on

412
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:57.599
a Soviet era four point five generation jet. It didn't

413
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:02.279
have any of the stealth capabilities clim which even then

414
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.160
was a bit of smoke in mers because Russian never

415
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.400
finished the thing, right, it just doesn't work, you know,

416
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.640
it's all else aside. And we watched the Russian military,

417
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:13.880
you know, try to roll into Ukraine that thought they

418
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:15.599
thought it was going to be a blitzkrig you know.

419
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.640
Over in two weeks they got stuck in the mud.

420
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.119
Flat tires made in China, tires, by the way, flat

421
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.759
tires stuck in the mud. The entire invasion got stalled.

422
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.880
We watched the entire Soviet or Russian spetsnas get wiped

423
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.680
out within the first few weeks, you know, this whole

424
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.400
you know, propaganda fighting force, they were wiped out almost immediately.

425
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:39.480
And we're seeing now that the Russian fighting force is

426
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.720
basically a little better than Soviet era, right I think.

427
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:45.640
I think what we're seeing instead is, you know, these

428
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:49.839
basically Walmart drones are the future of war. And that's

429
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:51.279
as good as you get with a lot of these

430
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.799
countries they're not going to have the capability to fight

431
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:55.319
against the power of the United States.

432
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.039
What about China's navy, They've been building boats like crazy.

433
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:01.960
I don't know what the number is, some like three

434
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.759
or four times what we have, but they're saying, you know,

435
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:12.079
they're they're probably of the same measure as as these jets,

436
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.119
these supposed jets that they they created right.

437
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.279
There, they're about the same measure as the Iranian navy.

438
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:20.960
And you know, I believe it was I believe it was.

439
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:23.039
Might have been.

440
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:25.880
Pete Hegseth came out and actually made an announcement that

441
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.720
we decided we would share the ocean with the Iranian Navy.

442
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.240
We get the top part, they get the bottom part

443
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:37.359
of the ocean, and we watched how that worked out.

444
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.440
You know, it would be the same thing for the

445
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:43.240
Chinese navy. A lot of the navy is retrofitted fishing boats.

446
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.799
A lot of it is not really warships. I mean,

447
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:50.079
some of it is. But the reality we've seen is that,

448
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:54.279
you know, honestly, America just decimated the Iranian Navy like

449
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:57.519
like it was nothing. You know, they were even publishing,

450
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:00.440
you know, Iran was publishing AI videos trying to make

451
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.400
it seem that they actually did something they didn't.

452
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.640
It was it was it was, it was like shooting

453
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:05.559
fish in a barrel.

454
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:08.160
Right now, the US, again, as I mentioned, they have

455
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.000
a ten Warthogs.

456
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:11.799
You know, low slow flying.

457
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.200
You know, anti tank air aircraft initially, but they're using

458
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:17.079
them to go after fast boats now and other things.

459
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.839
They're they're using apache helicopters to wipe them out. If

460
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:23.200
you get to the realm of fitth termation fighter jets,

461
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:25.359
whether it's the F thirty five with the F twenty two,

462
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.319
like the long range strike capabilities of those, these ships

463
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.759
are just sitting ducks. They're big targets.

464
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:33.599
You know.

465
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:35.880
It's it's like it's like shooting the you know, the

466
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.400
rear side of a mountain. You know you're not going

467
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:42.000
to miss, right, And I think they're realizing the vulnerability

468
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.799
they're in right now.

469
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:48.079
Well, the mere advantage that you suggested earlier that they

470
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:50.440
still maintain is with drones. But I think it's just

471
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.240
it's probably a matter of days or weeks that the

472
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:57.559
US perfects something that manages these drone attacks.

473
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:02.720
What do you think emp electromagnetic pulse the they America

474
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:06.559
already has it, so any any kind of large warship,

475
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.640
any kind of major American you know, defense in infrastructure

476
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.759
will use EMP. This is kind of the less talked

477
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:21.799
about domain of modern warfare, electronic hardening and electronic warfare.

478
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:23.599
If you were to, if you already hear from me

479
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:30.519
that the new battlefield electronic warfare is is is bigger

480
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:35.079
than armor. It's bigger than armor plating. You can basically

481
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:40.000
wipe out entire drone fleets using e m P, and

482
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:44.480
they've demonstrated it. You can use directed energy weapons e

483
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.920
m P to previously, I mean going back ten years,

484
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.799
I remember that some of the major arms manufacturers in

485
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:54.759
the US, they were just they were displaying such precise

486
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.839
e MP weapons that they could be put on fighter jets,

487
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:01.680
that they can they can shut off a single floor

488
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.079
of a building. They could do it so precise. If

489
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:08.319
you understand what that means for modern military equipment, any

490
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:13.799
any any military infrastructure that is not hardened against e MP,

491
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.200
which would be fifth generation level like which other countries

492
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.000
don't even have. Basically like most most don't really have.

493
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:25.880
They're not hardened to defend against that any kind of fire.

494
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.519
You could have a fleet of a thousand fighter jets.

495
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:32.000
If they're not hardened against e MP, you could drop

496
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:35.160
them out of the sky like flies say. It would

497
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:39.200
be nothing because you could fry them. And so drones

498
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:43.599
were watching kind of a not really high tech but

499
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.680
like a like a low tech high tech war in

500
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:53.000
Ukraine where they're using cheap technologies but modern technologies. That's

501
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:55.680
not going to work when you're dealing with a major

502
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.279
military force, and we all believed Russia was a major

503
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:00.000
military force.

504
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.559
They're not.

505
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:03.680
It's a bit it's a bit of a sham. You

506
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.359
know that there's still a nuclear power, but a lot

507
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:07.519
of the other stuff's a sham.

508
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.759
Exactly what do you think when they hear that Trump

509
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:17.359
is asking for another one point five trillion in military defense?

510
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.640
Well, I think it might be necessary.

511
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.960
And you know, I mean people think, oh, well, military

512
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.960
industrial complex, it might it might be necessary. Here's why

513
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:32.359
we lack domestic manufacturing. This is this is the Achilles

514
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:35.519
heel of the military right now. We don't have rare

515
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:37.920
earth minerals that we need to do we need to resupply,

516
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:40.680
we even need we don't even have the rare earth

517
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.680
minerals we need to build new ammunition. We get it

518
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:48.640
from China, right, we don't have wartime manufacturing. It's it's

519
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.160
it's insane. We we we would not be able to

520
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:55.759
develop or produce ships or jets or weapons, or let

521
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.599
alone ammunition on the scale required for weapons if we

522
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:04.000
were to go war. We don't have medications, not even

523
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.599
things like blood thinners or IV bags or anything like that.

524
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:07.839
We get it from China.

525
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:09.160
As crazy as that.

526
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:11.960
So we gave it to them, and now we're going

527
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.960
to them. It's just insane. Well to be continued, Joshua. Again,

528

Hey, welcome back America. Bill Martinez here with doctor Wilfrid Riley,

596
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.880
the professor of political Science at Kentucky State University. Hey, well,

597
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:10.680
good morning to him.

598
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:12.920
It's morning Bill. Good to see him.

599
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.839
Hey, always good to see you. You know, we're recording

600
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.799
this on Saint Patti's Day, you know, and for all

601
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.160
the Irish. Their hands are over their heart and they're

602
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:26.000
out there, you know, enjoying a little reverie today, you know,

603
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:28.920
green beer and everything that's Irish. I guess you know

604
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:29.279
why not.

605
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.720
I mean the The joke in Chicago is that Saint

606
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.200
Patrick stays the day everyone verage. So you see you

607
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:39.039
Chinese guys in Chinatown with the green hat on the

608
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.599
big shamrock on their heads and so on. So hopefully,

609
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.119
hopefully everyone is fun. I mean we both talked about it's,

610
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:46.200
you know, businessman over like thirty. He got a lot

611
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:48.519
of stuff to do, but you can hear him outside,

612
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.720
like I'm a little bit of smaller city, but I'm

613
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.319
close to the downtown. So yeah, hopefully everyone has fun.

614
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:56.359
You know, stay safe, don't drive between two towns. As

615
00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:58.160
he was celebrating the great Man.

616
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.480
Well exactly, So keep it safe and sane and enjoyable.

617
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:09.839
I want to talk about, you know, the situation that

618
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.000
we've had, and here's our new best friend. He's got

619
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.519
to say hi. He loves camera time. You know, we've

620
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:20.200
got to talk about what's going on with Iran and

621
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:24.440
the terror attacks. I mean, since since Iran, we've had

622
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.279
four obvious terror attacks that the media doesn't know how

623
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:30.200
to handle. They don't know how to present it. But

624
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:32.440
we said, I think you and I even talked about

625
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:35.480
it that you know, immediately people needed to keep their

626
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.440
heads on a swivel just to you know, be aware

627
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.559
of what's going on, because we don't know, you know,

628
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:46.759
how many ices inspired individuals are here in our country,

629
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:50.640
the open border, all the other stuff, and you know,

630
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.799
the radical Muslims have made it clear that they want

631
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:58.440
to get rid of America and Americans in Israel all

632
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.319
in one fellow swoop. That would make their day.

633
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:05.079
Yeah, I mean, it's tough to know what exactly is

634
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:08.880
going on. Obviously, there's a correlation between our war with

635
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:12.119
an Islamic country and increase surges of terrorism. And anyone

636
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.000
who denies that as an idiot. I mean, if I

637
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.960
were a Muslim general, I would have sleeper selles ready

638
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.199
in these Western countries, especially western countries that have allowed

639
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:23.280
in high levels of Muslim immigration. And I mean, I

640
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.719
frankly think that's what we've seen. I mean, in New York,

641
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.119
you saw the two guys who literally showed up with

642
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:33.159
the bomb from Looney Tunes. I mean, they had the

643
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:37.440
bomb with the wick on it, smoldering, and they'd apparently

644
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:41.119
made a fairly sophisticated package with nails at ball bearings.

645
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.119
And I mean, I'm not going to explain how to

646
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.360
do it, but anyone who's got military background knows how

647
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.119
simple it is to make it explosive. I mean, you

648
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.519
put a core of whatever in there, and then you

649
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.480
surround it, then you throw it. Fortunately, these guys weren't

650
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.239
exactly engineers, although one was an engineering student, I think.

651
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.239
So the bomb didn't explode, and you saw kind of

652
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.800
the two faces of the left there, right. I mean,

653
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:06.480
I actually I don't know him, but I'm familiar from

654
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:10.800
Twitter with the guy who was kind of jumped over

655
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:15.039
and you saw him this astonishing picture where you have

656
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:17.559
one guy who's, in my opinion, an idiot, but who's

657
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.960
a nice guy, well spoken, upper middle class, and he's

658
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.199
there at his blazer and he's got his megaphone and

659
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:25.920
he's saying like, we welcome everyone in America. And then

660
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:29.960
another guy uses him as a footrest to throw a bomb,

661
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:34.480
so you see him over his back baseball pitching this thing. Unfortunately,

662
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.480
it's a windy day, so the device goes out as

663
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:40.440
it's in the air. But I mean, you're gonna see

664
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:43.039
some of that when we fight the larger Islamic States.

665
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:48.079
The bigger worry actually is that these aren't members of

666
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.519
sleeper cells. They don't have a father who is in

667
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:54.559
the IRGC or something. These are just people who ally

668
00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:57.880
with the enemy, and that that's going to become more

669
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:00.800
common as we have more people here from kind of

670
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.000
our great rival states China, Iran and so on, and

671
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.599
a lot of those people those two groups less sentence,

672
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.639
but are very successful in America. So it's it's very

673
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:12.199
easy on the right to be like, well, get them

674
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.920
all out. The better question is how do you can

675
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:18.760
you vet in immigration so that you get the people

676
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:21.280
that are actually Chinese Christians or whatever that are fleeing

677
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:25.239
that environment, and you don't get people that are going

678
00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:27.599
to be very easy to radicalize here because I don't

679
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.519
think a lot of those people are part of formal networks.

680
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:31.400
I think there are people that are just very inclined

681
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:34.400
to dislike the USA. And today you can get Al

682
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.360
Jazeera on your computer. So if you hear all this

683
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:41.320
content we are the Great Satan, you might decide, well,

684
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:44.280
I'm gonna go down into the Dad's lab and I'm

685
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.039
gonna put this thing together and I'm gonna get on

686
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:48.239
the train to Penn Station. That's going to take an hour.

687
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.239
So you're going to see those attacks. I mean, just

688
00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:54.559
law enforcement's gonna have to be vigilant, and one thing

689
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:56.679
you find is that they don't kill a lot of people.

690
00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:59.079
That sucks, they have to think of it that way,

691
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:02.239
but it's it's not going to stop a victorious war

692
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.519
against Persia that four or five people are injured in

693
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:09.559
these kind of attacks. But it's definitely when you're in

694
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:12.519
a high tense situation where they're international tensions and the

695
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.039
response has been at this level of domestic tension, Yeah,

696
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.639
you do walk around a little more carefully than you

697
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:18.280
otherwise would.

698
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:23.280
Well, you know, it's interesting how America has reacted. You know,

699
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.239
in World War Two, after the bombing of Pro Harbor,

700
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:31.000
you know, our government said, hey, all Japanese, we're gonna

701
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.199
set you aside and you know, put you in camps

702
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:38.239
and you know, to protect our national security. And so

703
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:42.400
we've gone from that to where God only knows where

704
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.199
we are right now. I mean, we've got sanctuary cities,

705
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.960
we have policies law enforcement or no law enforcement that

706
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:52.679
seems to promote more danger than security.

707
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:56.639
Will Yeah, I mean, I think the standard view in

708
00:37:56.679 --> 00:38:02.400
political science is that incarcerating the Japanese was an overreaction, obviously,

709
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:06.079
but I mean it's also like when that's presented as

710
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:11.079
canonical evil. That's not correct. The reality with World War

711
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:13.679
two and with the Cold War was that there was

712
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:17.400
a great deal of opposition to the USA internally. I mean,

713
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:19.880
in one of my books, Lies, my liberal teacher told me,

714
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:21.320
I'm not not going to do a full plug here,

715
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:21.599
but I.

716
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.519
Actually talk do a full plug. Go ahead.

717
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.599
It's a great available at Amazon. But now a Lies,

718
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:29.039
my liberal teacher told me, is my most recent book.

719
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:31.840
Still only about a year old. It's selling well. People

720
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:34.960
should definitely go go check it out. I also recently

721
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:39.000
check out Unified Solutions America dot com. I'm doing some

722
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:41.559
anti woke consulting to try to get this country back

723
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:44.440
on its feet. But the book has a chapter about

724
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.360
the Cold War, or I make the point people say

725
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:49.559
there was a Red scare in America. No, there wasn't.

726
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:51.480
There was a Cold War where we in the Russians

727
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:55.079
were actually spying on each other. And I provide a short,

728
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:57.199
but I think fairly comprehensive list of these are some

729
00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:59.719
of the Russian agents in the country. Algrass, all these

730
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:02.800
people were completely guilty. We not only saw the results

731
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:05.880
of trials, we saw the declassified Venona papers. Later on.

732
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.320
It was the same thing with the Japanese and German

733
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:11.760
communities during World War Two, and we didn't incarcerate the

734
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.440
Germans who were I don't know a better way to say,

735
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:16.679
is normal looking white guys like you couldn't round people

736
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:18.320
up and ask them if they were German. I mean

737
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:20.320
your last name is Beetlebacher, is it and put these

738
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:23.440
cuffs on. But I mean we shut down the German

739
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:26.719
language dailies. I mean we took pretty harsh action Italy.

740
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:28.920
I mean this goes back to Saco and Vanzetti. There

741
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.400
was extreme discrimination against Italians. Part of the reason for

742
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:35.679
that was that there was anarchist and pro home country

743
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.880
sentiment in those communities. There was a split between the

744
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:41.559
Essay and Nisse and the Japanese community in terms of

745
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:45.800
whether they were more pro America or more pro Japan.

746
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:48.960
In both cases there was a slant toward the USA,

747
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:53.360
but the attitudes diverged radically. So we've kind of gone

748
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:55.199
from one extream, which is like we're going to shut

749
00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:57.960
down your newspaper, we're gonna take your ethnic group, and

750
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:00.480
you're gonna be living in this city for the duration

751
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:03.239
of this war, over to the other extreme, which is

752
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.519
you know, after nine to eleven, George Bush's second speech

753
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:08.360
after the famous they were going to hear from all

754
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.119
of us, was focused on is Lamophobia. Yes, so there's

755
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:16.559
now this idea of the most important thing in these

756
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:22.480
tent situations is preventing people from feeling any sense of discrimination.

757
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:25.480
You know, I think if you're a poor white guy,

758
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:27.920
you're a black guy or whatever, your Hispanic businessman, you're

759
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:29.800
somebody's gonna deal with prejudice in your life. I don't

760
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:32.840
think that that is the most important element of fighting

761
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.880
terrorist And there obviously are reasons that if you're a young, working,

762
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:41.199
middle class Muslim male, you're gonna be searched on an

763
00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:45.280
airplane before an older lady in an air mas hat.

764
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.400
I mean, so it's just we seem to have moved

765
00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:51.199
very far away from that. We should probably slant a

766
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:54.400
little back, hoarded, but that doesn't seem to be the move.

767
00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:57.559
I mean, even Trump's officials aren't really proposing that they're

768
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.000
sparring with the sanctuary city people. But we're still here

769
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:03.440
kind of the norm MacDonald. Wouldn't it be a pity

770
00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:06.800
if a Muslim country launched a successful strike against the USA,

771
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.559
because then you'd see so much prejudice against peaceful Muslims.

772
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:10.320
You know.

773
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.559
It's that's another thing that makes the crime fighting picture

774
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:14.280
more complicated.

775
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:17.280
I would say, Well, and especially you know with the

776
00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:21.960
you know, the growth of you know, Muslim communities within

777
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.880
the United States, the number of moss in the last

778
00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:29.559
five years, they've become so prolific. Will you know, are

779
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:35.159
these warning signs? And in light of what's happening Iran

780
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:39.000
and still you know, the jihadist call to get rid

781
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:41.559
of America.

782
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:44.440
I mean I think so to some extent. Now, again,

783
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:48.000
there are two things here that make this kind of complicated.

784
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:52.159
It's like when female vice squad detectives say, not all men, right, right,

785
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.280
you know, the the ninety five percent majority of guys

786
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:58.280
or protectors and servers, like almost all their colleagues as

787
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:00.960
a cop are going to be guys. The same time,

788
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.519
you know, you're the people that are patronizing prostitutes are

789
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:07.760
almost all oots, you know. I mean, so it is

790
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:09.920
what it is like you have a demographic sample that

791
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:12.400
you're going to become pretty cynical about. He keeps seeing

792
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:16.000
these married men at brothels, right, So, I mean it's

793
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:18.760
a joke in that component of the forest, and it's

794
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:22.519
the same thing with some of these groups, like those

795
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:26.159
traditional Muslims, especially Shiai Muslims.

796
00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:28.239
I'll jay you what. Let's go to quick break. We'll

797
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:29.840

872
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:38.920
Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here with professor of political

873
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:41.280
science at Kentuctive State University and the author of Taboo.

874
00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:43.320
Ten facts you can talk about And of course this

875
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:46.159
book that we mentioned earlier lies my liberal teachers taught me,

876
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.199
which is still very robust, and you need to get

877
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:51.760
your hands on it if you haven't, and you might

878
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:58.280
be quite I guess, maybe quite relieved to realize that, Hey,

879
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:00.920
guess what, your liberal teachers taught you the same stuff,

880
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:05.079
and maybe you can get some clearer thinking and understanding

881
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:07.320
of what's going on. Well, Will, as we were saying,

882
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:12.000
you know, there are dangers abounding, and it's amazing to

883
00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:15.599
me where we are post nine to eleven. As you said,

884
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:18.079
I mean, only took nineteen guys to create all kinds

885
00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:22.199
of havoc. And you know, and here we got I

886
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.280
don't know how many you could say, hundreds of thousands

887
00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:29.599
maybe of people that do not want you know, they

888
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:34.599
don't want America to do well. And you've got this antithical, philosophical,

889
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:39.880
you know, mindset that continues to grow even within our country,

890
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:42.400
which is very anti American. And you know, you and

891
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.199
I've talked about this before. Is that to me, the

892
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:48.559
divide isn't about the Republican or Democrats. The divide is

893
00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:51.320
more are you pro American or you're anti American?

894
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:55.519
Yeah, I mean, so there's a lot going on there.

895
00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:57.360
First of all, in terms of nine to eleven. Yeah,

896
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:01.320
it's the advantage of asymmetric war that it doesn't take

897
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:03.280
a lot of people to do a lot of harm.

898
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:06.400
So when it comes to symmetric warfare, you know, our

899
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.320
tanks against their tanks. The usa is military is the

900
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:11.119
best in the world. I mean, the Russians or the

901
00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:13.559
Chinese could may be challenged, but they would lose the war.

902
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.039
The Europeans they might be as good pound for pound,

903
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:18.079
but they don't have a lot of pounds. They don't

904
00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:21.800
spend a lot of on defense. They're behind our defense umbrella. Yes,

905
00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:26.320
say Israel, but I mean anyway, like so that that's

906
00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:29.159
a reality. We could easily win the first part of

907
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:31.320
a war with Persia. We can break their army back

908
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:34.360
into the Zagros mountains and so on. The question is

909
00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:36.639
how do you deal with these asymmetric threats. So on

910
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:39.320
nine to eleven, I mean, people from Afghanistan and Saudi

911
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:42.400
Arabia who'd done some pretty high level training with al

912
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:44.960
Qaeda just got on a plane, took the plane and

913
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.440
flew it into a building. I think if you tried

914
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:50.440
that with Americans or even Europeans, now the passengers might

915
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.119
overpower you. But in the one and three chance they didn't,

916
00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:56.000
I mean, yeah, that's that's a consistent risk. Like a

917
00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:58.559
building could still be taken down. Something like that can happen.

918
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:03.360
The weirder thing about nine to eleven, because we all

919
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.719
know about asymmetrics, is what you just said, which is

920
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.639
that after nine to eleven we decided to increase the

921
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.119
pace of Muslim immigration. And I think that's something that

922
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:16.480
nobody predicted. Even Bush when he warned against open prejudice,

923
00:49:16.519 --> 00:49:21.159
didn't really predict that happening. So of the US Muslim population,

924
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:24.679
which is four or five million people, I believe almost

925
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:26.880
all entered post nine to eleven, I think we had

926
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:30.039
three hundred and ten thousand religiously practicing Muslims at the

927
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:34.480
time of nine to eleven. So yeah, obviously there are

928
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.000
going to be risks that come along with that, Like

929
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:40.920
there's radicalization in every community, So Chinese people are more

930
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:44.039
likely to be Chinese spies. The image of a spy

931
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.079
in the media is always some dorky white guy in

932
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:49.400
MIT with a flash drive full of hacker information and

933
00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:52.519
like the nineteen nineties computer guy outfit with black hoody.

934
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:55.719
But that's not reality. I mean, the reality is that

935
00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:58.360
a spy is very likely to be an attractive, personable

936
00:49:58.400 --> 00:50:01.719
guy from that country who recruited by the intelligence service

937
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:03.320
of that country. So like it Israeli SPI, it is

938
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:04.960
gonna be a upper middle class Jewish dude.

939
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:10.360
Yeah. Chinese Chinese. Yeah, the Chinese spy didn't send an

940
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:14.400
ugly woman to go and uh, you know have fun

941
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:16.199
with swallwell, did they?

942
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:18.440
Yeah, the fang fang thing. Yeah.

943
00:50:18.440 --> 00:50:18.519
No.

944
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:20.719
The Chinese are known for honey potting. I mean, people

945
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:23.480
are not unattracted to good looking Asian women, So I

946
00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:25.719
mean I would assume there's a lot of honey potting

947
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:27.960
going on in the San Francisco where you see these

948
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.519
these tech guys with I don't mean to be crewed

949
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:34.079
with nine out of ten wives and cocktail dresses. I mean,

950
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:36.519
some of that's probably true love, some of it's probably

951
00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:38.719
pursuit of money, some of it's probably pursuit of the

952
00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:41.119
national interests of the People's Republic or the Republic of

953
00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:44.960
Vietnam or whatever. But in the Muslim community, though, it's

954
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.400
it's a little less funny. I mean, the radicalization that

955
00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:52.400
you see there tends to be religiously inspired terrorism, So definitely,

956
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:54.440
I mean, I think we do need one thing the

957
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:56.400
FBI I should do, if they're not already doing it

958
00:50:56.440 --> 00:51:00.320
is keep an eye on mosques and see what being

959
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:03.880
said during the daily sermon. I mean, there's probably an

960
00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:05.760
element of teacher gramma to suck eggs, so that I'm

961
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:08.440
sure old federal agents know that. But I watched some

962
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:11.079
of these sermons online and I'm a political science professor.

963
00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:13.320
I speak some Spanish, I speak a little bit of Arabic,

964
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.000
and people are openly saying things. One that was released

965
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:20.320
recently defended sexual abuse in war. Like The idea is

966
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:23.440
you can take people as old school battle captives like

967
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:26.320
knights of every race used to in thirteen hundred, and

968
00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:29.320
sexually abuse them. And it's it's such a weird medieval

969
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:31.960
thing to hear someone say, you know, it kind of

970
00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:34.840
goes along with armor and a horse. But that's still

971
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.360
that's been a belief in much of the world. Women

972
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:39.679
are secondary citizens. You can abuse them in battle because

973
00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:42.400
they're not fighters themselves. So if someone's saying that at

974
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:44.280
the local mosque, I mean you need to shut down

975
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:47.280
the mosque. Probably are we keeping a practical eye on

976
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:50.159
this kind of radicalization in the Islamic community, You know,

977
00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:53.039
I don't think we are. Like if you go down

978
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:55.440
to Texas to do some business. There's a one hundred

979
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:58.880
foot tall statue of the monkey god Hanaman from I

980
00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:01.360
believe the Hindu panther on by the highway. So if

981
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:03.920
we're if we can't figure out some kind of technical

982
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:06.280
way to keep that off public property, I don't really

983
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:11.880
think we have every religious service in the country under

984
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:14.639
effective scrutiny. And so that's a risk. All like you said,

985
00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:17.280
all it takes is two guys with bombs, and you

986
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:20.039
have the Boston Marathon bombing. You have one hundred people

987
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:23.800
in the hospital with trattnel through their shoulders, one eye gone.

988
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:23.960
So on.

989
00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:25.920
So I don't want to panic people. It's something to

990
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:26.440
keep an eye on.

991
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:29.960
Well, you know, I was talking with another guy here

992
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.280
recently and he you know, and he opened my eyes

993
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:37.119
to you know, here we are so focused about Iran

994
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:41.239
not going nuclear, having a nuclear bomb, but yet look

995
00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:46.199
what's happening with this migration of Muslims in the area.

996
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:49.440
I mean, the United Kingdom, for example, back in twenty

997
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:55.159
ten had just under three million Muslims. It's projected by

998
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:59.559
twenty thirty their growth will be ninety four percent to

999
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:02.199
five and a half million. And we already see what's

1000
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:05.960
happening policy wise in the United Kingdom. And I hadn't

1001
00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:08.519
thought about this, he asked me. He says, Bill, He says,

1002
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:12.960
what country do you think if the Muslims took over

1003
00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:16.840
that they would have access to a nuclear bomb? Which

1004
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:19.239
country do you think in the next five years is

1005
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.119
more vulnerable than all other countries? And I had thought

1006
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:25.800
My first reaction was, you know, maybe China, maybe even

1007
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:30.039
here in America. But and he goes, no, England, and

1008
00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:33.199
I go, whoa, you know, you're probably right. So here

1009
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:35.840
we are, we're worried and focused about what's happening in Iran,

1010
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:39.039
and we should, there's no question. But you've got all

1011
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:42.679
these these aren't even sleeper cells. You just got cells

1012
00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:46.760
going out throughout the entire globe that if they took

1013
00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:50.960
over a country that has a nuclear bomb, they don't

1014
00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:51.800
need to build one.

1015
00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:57.880
Yeah, I mean, and again there's it's weird because it's

1016
00:53:57.920 --> 00:53:59.639
sort of the not all mend thing. I mean, like,

1017
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.559
so Britain has this well known hip hop culture. Probably

1018
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:05.800
ninety percent of British Muslims are urban guys who do

1019
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:08.920
things like run kebab shops. They're well known for having

1020
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:11.360
like red headed white girlfriends and being part of like

1021
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:13.760
the rap scene, but the ten percent a lot of

1022
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:18.360
people if you have six million people, especially if you

1023
00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:21.360
adjust for the fact that someone who wants to be

1024
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:24.639
a foreign agent is more likely to pursue certain careers.

1025
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:28.599
Who are you going to see going into academia sensitive

1026
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:31.079
areas of the military stone, It's probably not the kebab

1027
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:36.039
shop owner dating Jenny down the block. So yeah, somebody

1028
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:38.719
to keep an eye on. There are a couple of

1029
00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:43.480
I mean the basic point there. There's a book called

1030
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:46.360
something like Biowarfare, and I actually don't like the title

1031
00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:48.119
because I think it'd be very easy to weaponize into

1032
00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:51.480
just open racism, like what are the Appalachians doing? What

1033
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:53.880
are the Blacks doing? But like, the basic idea is

1034
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:56.880
that one way to wage warfare and get control over

1035
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:59.840
national population centers is just to have your people move

1036
00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:03.920
the in large numbers. So like, settler colonialism is a

1037
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:05.840
term that sometimes used. I don't like this one either.

1038
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.239
I have a bunch of professional critiques in this language.

1039
00:55:08.440 --> 00:55:11.199
This is one from the left. But settler colonialism would

1040
00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:14.320
be when mostly western white countries invade third world states

1041
00:55:14.360 --> 00:55:15.440
takeover you're in charge.

1042
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:15.639
Now.

1043
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.719
There's also obviously a pattern of reverse revenge migration, like

1044
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:22.280
countries like India have said this, where you send lots

1045
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.599
of young fighting men into what you consider vulnerable countries

1046
00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:27.480
and all of a sudden, you're twenty five percent of

1047
00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:30.360
the population. You're still getting money sent back home from

1048
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.199
that country, and you're now influencing the population of that country.

1049
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:37.519
And if that relationship is like American snowbirds and Canada

1050
00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:41.960
Mexican workers in the USA, like, okay, that's a brother relationship,

1051
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:43.880
Like you still have to send people home every so often,

1052
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:47.360
get the buses out, but there's not really any idea

1053
00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:50.039
of war will come for that. But what if the

1054
00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:53.000
country doing that is Persian? What if the country doing

1055
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:55.480
that is I mean, and they're friends sort of but Indian.

1056
00:55:56.039 --> 00:55:58.559
When you suddenly see like, I'll hit you with one back.

1057
00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:00.840
Since you gave that crazy stat about Muslims in Britain,

1058
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:02.840
which is true, by the way, your friends, absolutely accurate.

1059
00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:04.440
There are more Muslims in Britain now than there are

1060
00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:08.000
Irish people, like speakers of the actual Gaelic language, or

1061
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:11.719
five point seven million Muslims or something four million Gales

1062
00:56:11.880 --> 00:56:16.880
like Celtic Britains. But in Canada they've allowed so much

1063
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:21.239
migration from powerful countries like India, China and Taiwan that

1064
00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:23.880
I think thirty three percent of the population right now

1065
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:27.360
is foreign born, and that's had an enormous impact. So,

1066
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:29.679
I mean, it's awkward to talk in racial terms, but

1067
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:32.000
Canada used to be almost one hundred percent white, but

1068
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:34.280
the native spot well enough, but there aren't many of

1069
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:39.239
them up there now it's seventy sixty. I mean, I'd

1070
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:41.079
have to look at the numbers. It used to be

1071
00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:44.360
virtually one hundred percent Christian, now it would be maybe eighty.

1072
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:47.320
A lot of Chinese are But you've had this enormous

1073
00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:50.280
impact in a very short period of time, and the

1074
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:54.599
question is what do you do. The two real options

1075
00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:57.440
to me would be one remigration, like a government says

1076
00:56:57.480 --> 00:56:59.519
at some point, look, we're give everybody five thousand bucks,

1077
00:56:59.559 --> 00:57:02.920
which you got to back home. Two But if once

1078
00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:04.960
you get the second third generation, once you get people

1079
00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:07.480
to serve in the Canadian army, that's not possible. So

1080
00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:10.480
the second thing you'd have to do would be actual

1081
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:13.840
brutal assimilation, which we don't like anymore, but you got

1082
00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:17.800
to do it and combine that with shutting these borders

1083
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:20.400
for a while, because you understand that the leaders of

1084
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:23.679
large developing countries Nigeria is another country or this has

1085
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:27.159
been openly discussed, and lectures that I've listened to are saying, well,

1086
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:29.360
why don't we send our young warriors to these rival

1087
00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:32.559
countries to learn and then either activate them or bring

1088
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:35.280
them back. But again, Nigeria is not an enemy, but

1089
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:39.360
it's not not our job to provide military education for

1090
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:41.920
the Nigeria and the leadership like this has to either

1091
00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:44.760
be discussed honestly or people have to get on the

1092
00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:46.280
plane and get out of the country. I think that

1093
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:47.199
would be my opinion.

1094
00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:50.519
Yeah, And unfortunately, what happens is that when something like

1095
00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:56.440
that goes on, follow the money, watch how the money supports,

1096
00:57:56.559 --> 00:57:59.400
you know, that kind of change in demography, and you

1097
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:02.480
get people that are happy to grift on it, and

1098
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:07.280
unfortunately too many are involved in our government. Yeah, we

1099
00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:11.199
have got to be mindful of all areas and influences

1100
00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:16.079
that are dictating these cultural changes here in America in

1101
00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:19.599
other countries. You know again, you know, like you and

1102
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:22.599
I growing up watching the spaghetti westerns. You know, it's

1103
00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:25.039
like you could tell the difference between the good guys

1104
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:26.920
and the bad guys. You know, are you friend or foe?

1105
00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:29.400
You know, and we're not asking that question anymore.

1106
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:33.000
Yep, if I can, okay, because I wonder if we

1107
00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:34.639
had some time left, if I'd say one thing there,

1108
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:38.119
I mean, yeah, absolutely, this is this is funded and

1109
00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:41.239
I mean this for me goes back to one of

1110
00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:43.280
the sales jobs I had in college was working as

1111
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:46.320
a canvas manager for an activist group that leaned left. Now,

1112
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:49.039
the activist group itself was just totally hired gun. It

1113
00:58:49.079 --> 00:58:52.079
was young, high school and college age, mostly athletes, mostly men.

1114
00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:55.239
You go on the street twenty bucks an hour plus

1115
00:58:55.280 --> 00:58:57.360
counting your commission, but hey, you got a minute for whatever.

1116
00:58:57.719 --> 00:58:59.719
People trying to fight you, I mean whatever. But like

1117
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:03.719
I realized how organized this stuff is, like groups including

1118
00:59:03.719 --> 00:59:07.199
a gay rights group, an environmental protection group, even someone

1119
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:09.400
the Red Duck Sun Limited at one point, as I recalled,

1120
00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:12.079
would pay these sort of hired guns that had these

1121
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:15.639
two hundred young men deck to go to different cities

1122
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:19.880
raise money and political campaigns. At one point started contacting

1123
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:21.960
the office and asking can we rent out some guys?

1124
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:25.320
Can you send us one hundred during the final weeks

1125
00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:27.199
of this campaign, and they came to us with the offerings.

1126
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:29.800
I know it's twenty two bucks an hour. It's not

1127
00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:31.639
going to be pleasant, but we can put you on

1128
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:34.800
economy class out to Denver and you know this can happen.

1129
00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:38.280
And I started realizing, obviously not comparing this to Soros

1130
00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:41.360
or something, but all of this is incredibly well organized. Like,

1131
00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:44.679
in my opinion, I'm conspiratorial on this. When you see

1132
00:59:44.679 --> 00:59:47.320
a twelve foot paalet of bricks laid out a foot

1133
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:49.760
away from a riot, somebody brought that there, like you

1134
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:52.360
have an hour hids in one of the unions, they

1135
00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:55.039
brought a truck up. There's no mystery about what happened.

1136
00:59:55.440 --> 00:59:58.280
And at a deeper level this goes on. I mentioned

1137
00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:02.239
George Soros, George soroson is are real people. That doesn't

1138
01:00:02.239 --> 01:00:05.519
mean like a shadowy network of individuals of the Hebrew faith.

1139
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:08.119
It means the Sorrows Foundation, which is something you can

1140
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:10.599
check out, you can investigate. I've done stories about them

1141
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:14.679
for Spiked UK. So who is pushing all this immigration?

1142
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:18.199
Large groups with names like I mean, even the Cato

1143
01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:20.519
Institute over on the right has done this recently where

1144
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:24.000
they ran this study saying that immigrants were more of

1145
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:27.320
a net positive for the country than citizens. And I

1146
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:28.880
looked at the study. I'm not going to insult the

1147
01:00:28.880 --> 01:00:33.320
individual authors, but like immigrants includes Elon Musk, like they

1148
01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:36.400
combined legal and illegal immigrants. They did all this stuff,

1149
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:39.800
and there is a massive amount of money that flows

1150
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:42.760
to you if you are going to make these points

1151
01:00:43.119 --> 01:00:45.199
because the issue the last let's sen to me. I

1152
01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:49.440
guess they're issues even deeper than immigration that underlie this

1153
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:51.599
that no one wants to talk about. One of them

1154
01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:56.119
is declining fertility, like following the refusal of men to

1155
01:00:56.320 --> 01:01:00.679
fight and the acceptance by women of feminism, You've seen

1156
01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:03.440
the fertility rate in the West drop to like one

1157
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:06.960
point two in a lot of countries like Spain. So

1158
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:12.880
we can complain about Nigerians or certainly friendly populations like Canada, Mexico. So,

1159
01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:15.280
but there's a deeper question, what do you what else

1160
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:17.440
do you do if people aren't gonna have kids? Like

1161
01:01:17.480 --> 01:01:21.239
are you gonna tell young businesswomen to stay home? Like

1162
01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:23.480
I might if I'm willing to duck a few times?

1163
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:27.239
But it's these are core issues, Bill, like one, we

1164
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:29.760
don't meet all these people even from the friendly countries

1165
01:01:29.800 --> 01:01:32.239
coming in, but if we're gonna get rid of them,

1166
01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:34.599
we have to be able to talk about who's going

1167
01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:37.880
to maintain our infrastructure. Are people gonna do basic jobs

1168
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:39.400
like cowboying, road building?

1169
01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:40.239
One?

1170
01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:45.960
Okay? And two? How are we going to keep having

1171
01:01:46.079 --> 01:01:49.079
people to maintain our welfare net? So those are and

1172
01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:51.119
do we need a welfare net? That's another question. That's

1173
01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:53.719
the third question I would ask first. Actually, we can

1174
01:01:53.800 --> 01:01:55.760
work out all this feminism stuff later, Like we just

1175
01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:59.079
removed welfare for young men, immigrants and huge groups, and

1176
01:01:59.119 --> 01:01:59.920
that would solve the problem.

1177
01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:02.639
I think so would go a long way. I'll tell

1178
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:05.719
you you opened up the door to a whole nother show,

1179
01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:10.119
many shows, So we'll continue that conversation down the road,

1180
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:12.480
no doubt about it. He's a professor of political science

1181
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.480
at Kentucky State University. Doctor Wilford Riley, thank you, will

1182
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:16.559
take care. I have a great day.

1183
01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:18.119

Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez Live, Well.

1204
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:31.360
Good morning, welcome, Good to have you win us six

1205
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:33.159
minutes after the top of the hour. Right now we're

1206
01:03:33.159 --> 01:03:36.599
gonna be talking with Ed Gripenhagen. I love this book,

1207
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:41.480
three hundred and sixty five Hebrew words every Christian should know. Uh,

1208
01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:44.519
this really blessed I love things like this.

1209
01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:44.800
Ed.

1210
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:46.880
I'm telling you this really blessed me well.

1211
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:48.840
I loved writing it. So happy to be.

1212
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:51.239
Here so for some reason. I have the sense that

1213
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:53.920
it probably took you a couple of years plus a lifetime, right,

1214
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:55.360
Oh my gosh.

1215
01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:57.719
You know, if i'd have if i'd have known then

1216
01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:01.280
when I when I signed the contract to write the book,

1217
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:05.480
what I'm know now, I would have given myself more time.

1218
01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:06.280
It was a.

1219
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:08.800
Lifetime and then it was four months.

1220
01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:14.519
Yeah, So what was it about focusing on these Hebrew

1221
01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:17.960
words that just it seems to me like this was

1222
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:20.519
a project that probably woke you up many times in

1223
01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:22.280
the middle of the night saying you got to do this.

1224
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:31.679
You're assuming that I slept. You know, I grew up Jewish,

1225
01:04:31.760 --> 01:04:34.639
so I learned. I got saved when I was thirty five,

1226
01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:38.400
and so I learned, you know, the Jewish culture and

1227
01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:41.360
traditions and all of those things, and learned how to

1228
01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:45.039
read Hebrew, you know, as a child. And then when

1229
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:50.800
I read the Bible, for the oddly enough, steeped in

1230
01:04:50.880 --> 01:04:54.800
a Jewish upbringing, I still had never read the Bible.

1231
01:04:55.559 --> 01:04:58.639
But when I read the Bible in two thousand from.

1232
01:04:58.679 --> 01:05:00.280
Had you had you read the Old Testa and at

1233
01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:02.960
least none, no scripture whatsoever.

1234
01:05:03.320 --> 01:05:07.400
Well learned Bible, learned Bible stories growing up but never

1235
01:05:07.599 --> 01:05:10.440
read the Bible. Right, And I was in the synagogue

1236
01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:13.400
five days a week, Tuesday after school, Thursday after school,

1237
01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:17.679
Friday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday, learned all of the

1238
01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:22.519
cultural things and learned Bible stories, but never read the Bible,

1239
01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:24.880
which sounds so odd.

1240
01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:27.760
Probably, well, no, I gotta tell you what. I've had

1241
01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:32.719
a Catholic background, and Catholic and what you're saying similar,

1242
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:36.719
you know, exposed to scripture and all the you know,

1243
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:39.519
all the masses and everything, but really just didn't know

1244
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:45.880
how to connect the component parts to really understand the

1245
01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:49.360
entire story story and love story. I should say that

1246
01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:51.199
God had written to his creation.

1247
01:05:52.039 --> 01:05:56.199
Sure, sure, it was almost like and Jews we used

1248
01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:03.400
to say that Roman Catholicism is Judaism like, But it

1249
01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:08.760
was almost like the Scripture was for somebody else who

1250
01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:11.880
knew more than we did to read and then explain

1251
01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:15.519
it to us. So there was this idea of a

1252
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:20.119
personal relationship with a creator, maybe being led there through

1253
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:24.400
his word. That was just a foreign thing. But then

1254
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.400
when I picked up the Bible and read it, everything

1255
01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:32.280
really everything changed because when I picked it up, honestly,

1256
01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:35.639
I had been married thirteen years at that time, and

1257
01:06:35.719 --> 01:06:39.800
my wife was Christian. She was saved when she was eleven,

1258
01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:44.639
and she actually converted to Judaism for us to get married.

1259
01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:49.679
But that conversion was also not dig into the Bible.

1260
01:06:49.800 --> 01:06:54.840
It was not renounced Jesus. It was academic. It was

1261
01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:58.239
She went to a class once a week and at

1262
01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:01.199
the end of the year she had to before twelve

1263
01:07:01.320 --> 01:07:05.280
old Jewish men who questioned her, and she passed the

1264
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:09.079
test and gets her little Jewish identification card. I guess.

1265
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:13.000
But then, thirteen years into marriage, I just wanted to

1266
01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:16.719
know what the truth was and I told her, I said,

1267
01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:20.039
I'm going to read the Bible, which shocked her. It

1268
01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:23.280
shouldn't be too hard to disprove, you know. It's the

1269
01:07:23.320 --> 01:07:26.079
most arrogant thing I have ever said.

1270
01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:28.679
Like, you're not the first one to ever say that,

1271
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:29.559
by the way.

1272
01:07:29.559 --> 01:07:32.159
Yeah, but I was the smartest. I'm the smartest one

1273
01:07:32.440 --> 01:07:35.920
of all of them. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Josh McDowell's

1274
01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:39.199
got nothing on me, right exactly. So I said, it's

1275
01:07:39.199 --> 01:07:41.480
probably a good book to know how to act right

1276
01:07:41.519 --> 01:07:44.280
and behave, but there's no way it's true. So I'm

1277
01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:49.800
gonna meet mister big shot. I'm gonna prove it. Wrong. Well,

1278
01:07:49.880 --> 01:07:53.639
it proved me way wrong, you know, at the end

1279
01:07:53.719 --> 01:07:57.000
of that thirteen months. And I had no intention on

1280
01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:00.519
reading the New Testament, like zero. But when I finished

1281
01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:03.440
the Old Testament, and I didn't know any I had

1282
01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:07.280
never I grew up in the Bible belt in South Georgia,

1283
01:08:07.679 --> 01:08:11.519
and no ever shared the Gospel with me. Wow, and

1284
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:14.719
not a big Jewish community where I lived. So all

1285
01:08:14.760 --> 01:08:18.079
of my buddies, you know, playing football and baseball and

1286
01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:21.279
all growing up, they and I thought if you weren't Jewish,

1287
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:24.920
you were Christian because I didn't understand what it even meant.

1288
01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:27.239
But nobody ever shared the Gospel with me. I didn't

1289
01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:29.840
know Jesus was. I had no idea. I remember seeing

1290
01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:32.239
a bumper sticker one time, me and my dad were

1291
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:35.239
in the car together. I was about ten, and it

1292
01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:38.239
said Jesus saves and I said, what does that mean?

1293
01:08:38.720 --> 01:08:40.560
And he just said, I have no idea what that means,

1294
01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:44.439
don't worry about it. And so I had no biblical worldview,

1295
01:08:44.520 --> 01:08:47.199
no knowledge of who Jesus was any of that.

1296
01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:49.760
And so what year is this? Are we talking like

1297
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:52.079
seventies or something that you were you.

1298
01:08:52.039 --> 01:08:56.680
Know, No, this was right after y two k because.

1299
01:08:56.600 --> 01:08:59.560
Oh okay, all right.

1300
01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:02.960
December of ninety nine. It made me think about my mortality. Yes,

1301
01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:08.119
And in January of two thousand, I started reading the

1302
01:09:08.119 --> 01:09:14.039
Old Testament because for Jews, that's the Bible, right, and

1303
01:09:14.079 --> 01:09:17.039
that's the only Bible. And I started in January and

1304
01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:20.319
I finished in September, and the Lord was working on me.

1305
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:22.920
I wouldn't have used that language because I wouldn't have

1306
01:09:22.960 --> 01:09:26.399
known what that meant was through a lot of different

1307
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:29.399
passages and a lot of different books in the Old Testament.

1308
01:09:29.439 --> 01:09:33.600
But when I finished in September, I thought, that can't

1309
01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:35.720
be the end of the story. There's just no way.

1310
01:09:36.279 --> 01:09:41.119
And I wrestled with even buying a New Testament because

1311
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:45.239
for probably two weeks. And then I snuck into a

1312
01:09:45.319 --> 01:09:49.560
Christian bookstore because I thought if my dad were to

1313
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:51.520
see me, and I was a grown man, thirty five

1314
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:52.319
years old.

1315
01:09:52.359 --> 01:09:55.680
Yeah, my dad, you didn't wear graccho sunglasses with the

1316
01:09:55.760 --> 01:09:56.239
nose to.

1317
01:09:58.800 --> 01:10:02.239
Everything. But that because I barked across the street and

1318
01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:03.920
snuck around the back of the building.

1319
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:05.239
Oh my gosh, wow.

1320
01:10:05.680 --> 01:10:07.880
Because my dad was a hard man. He grew up

1321
01:10:07.920 --> 01:10:13.039
in Brooklyn and then went to West Point and was

1322
01:10:13.079 --> 01:10:17.359
a soldier went to Korea and ended up Landing where

1323
01:10:17.399 --> 01:10:19.960
we lived, where I was raised, and my mom's family.

1324
01:10:20.119 --> 01:10:23.119
She came from Germany when she was about six months

1325
01:10:23.119 --> 01:10:25.800
old in nineteen thirty seven, and all the rest of

1326
01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:30.800
her family died in two different concentration camps. I snuck

1327
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:34.560
in bought the New Testament, and it's not happened stance

1328
01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:38.520
that the genealogy of Christ is the first.

1329
01:10:38.199 --> 01:10:40.439
Thing there with Matthew exactly there.

1330
01:10:41.359 --> 01:10:45.000
And I'm reading that, but I still had no concept

1331
01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:48.680
of who Jesus was. So I'm reading this genealogy and

1332
01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:50.840
when I get down to verse sixteen or seventeen and

1333
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:54.720
it's Jesus genealogy, I thought, if they're trying, if somebody

1334
01:10:54.800 --> 01:10:58.880
is trying to prove that he is something special, he

1335
01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:03.720
sure does have a genealogy, you know. I mean, you

1336
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:08.159
got prostitutes and the worst kings ever and other women,

1337
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:15.279
any foreigners and pagans and whatever. But ultimately September October November,

1338
01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:18.479
I read the New Testament, and then I read several

1339
01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:22.800
other books, Josh McDowell, Lee strobel oh Y, you know,

1340
01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:25.920
Case for Faith, the Case for Christ, just several books,

1341
01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:30.199
and in January. On January seventeenth of one. I was

1342
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:33.640
driving to work by myself, pouring down rain, about five

1343
01:11:33.840 --> 01:11:36.800
thirty in the morning, and I thought, oh, my goodness,

1344
01:11:36.920 --> 01:11:41.079
I believe every single word from Genesis one one to

1345
01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:44.600
the end. It's I just thought, it's all true. It's

1346
01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:47.520
all true. Oh my gosh. If it's true, then a

1347
01:11:47.560 --> 01:11:50.479
dead man went in a grave and a live man

1348
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:53.760
came out. And that's a pretty big deal.

1349
01:11:54.359 --> 01:11:55.880
Yeah you think, yeah, yeah.

1350
01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:59.039
And so I cried out in my truck by myself,

1351
01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:04.359
Lord mercy on me a sinner. And of course he

1352
01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:08.079
doesn't say no when you say that, right, And so

1353
01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:12.119
I got say. That was January seventeenth of one. And

1354
01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:17.640
over the course of probably several years, as I would

1355
01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:22.319
read the New Testament and go back into the Old Testament,

1356
01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:27.199
it's almost like the words became three dimensional.

1357
01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:29.000

1458
01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:37.199
Hey, we're back with you, Bill Martinez here with Ed Griffinhagen.

1459
01:17:37.720 --> 01:17:39.600
We're talking about a new book, but we're actually you know,

1460
01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:43.279
going down to its history. You know, I guess for

1461
01:17:43.319 --> 01:17:47.199
all ten purposes, you were raised Jewish, and yeah, big time,

1462
01:17:47.399 --> 01:17:52.439
and here you are two thousand and one, after reading

1463
01:17:52.479 --> 01:17:55.720
the Bible and the Holy Spirit moving on your heart

1464
01:17:56.000 --> 01:17:58.199
and revealing the truth. I mean, because you were in

1465
01:17:58.199 --> 01:18:00.600
search of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but right.

1466
01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:06.720
Uh, realistically I was going to disprove it. So yeah,

1467
01:18:06.720 --> 01:18:09.199
but I really was trying to figure out what's true

1468
01:18:09.239 --> 01:18:13.279
and what's not. Because if A cannot equal negative A at

1469
01:18:13.159 --> 01:18:16.199
the same time and place. So either Jesus went in

1470
01:18:16.279 --> 01:18:18.920
a grave dead and came out alive or he didn't.

1471
01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:22.720
You can't. You can't have it both ways. So it's

1472
01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:24.760
all and you know, and if you look back at

1473
01:18:24.880 --> 01:18:27.600
in the Book of Acts, you know, those guys didn't

1474
01:18:27.680 --> 01:18:31.399
run around preaching a bunch of theology. They preached we

1475
01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:37.199
saw him die and then we saw him alive. They

1476
01:18:37.279 --> 01:18:40.800
preached resurrection, the resurrection, the resurrection, and so it was all,

1477
01:18:40.840 --> 01:18:43.319
at least for me, it was all about the resurrection.

1478
01:18:43.920 --> 01:18:46.560
And could you imagine just somebody who had a casual

1479
01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:50.319
association with Jesus that they would go to their own

1480
01:18:50.479 --> 01:18:52.039
death in believing a lie.

1481
01:18:52.960 --> 01:18:55.199
You would never do it, right, You just would never

1482
01:18:55.279 --> 01:18:57.520
do it. You could believe a lie, but you would

1483
01:18:57.600 --> 01:19:00.560
never go to your death knowing that it was a lie.

1484
01:19:01.159 --> 01:19:01.359
Right.

1485
01:19:01.880 --> 01:19:06.279
Nobody would ever do that. So it really was. And

1486
01:19:06.319 --> 01:19:08.439
I remember the night that I got the night of

1487
01:19:08.479 --> 01:19:10.199
the morning that I got saved, and I went out

1488
01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:14.680
and talked to my parents and uh, and I said before,

1489
01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:17.359
my dad was a pretty hard man, not a she

1490
01:19:17.439 --> 01:19:21.600
did not mean, he was just a hard soldier man, right,

1491
01:19:21.760 --> 01:19:23.279
and uh. And I went out there and I didn't

1492
01:19:23.279 --> 01:19:26.159
want to get in a big theology theological debate with

1493
01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:30.279
them because I couldn't have. I didn't I didn't know enough.

1494
01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:33.520
I just knew that that morning I went from lost

1495
01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:34.119
to found.

1496
01:19:34.600 --> 01:19:34.840
Yeah.

1497
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:37.600
All I could tell then was what happened to me.

1498
01:19:37.760 --> 01:19:40.199
It was like Peter and John in acts like I

1499
01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:41.960
don't know about all this other stuff. All I can

1500
01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:43.000
tell is what happened.

1501
01:19:43.359 --> 01:19:45.760
Yeah, it's like like the blind man. I can't explain it.

1502
01:19:45.800 --> 01:19:48.359
All I know I was now I'm I'm not blind anymore.

1503
01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:52.039
Right, It's just simple truth, just simple truth.

1504
01:19:52.119 --> 01:19:58.079
And but it turned very very ugly, very quickly. And

1505
01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:00.880
me and my dad were we were thickest, I mean

1506
01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:05.760
we were very very close. And after that night and

1507
01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:10.239
it turned bad quick. They didn't speak to and I

1508
01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:13.319
have two sons, two young sons at the time, and

1509
01:20:13.359 --> 01:20:15.800
they didn't speak to me or my wife for almost

1510
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:20.520
seven years wow, living in the same town. But the

1511
01:20:20.520 --> 01:20:25.000
Lord reconciled our relationships seven years in and in twenty

1512
01:20:25.079 --> 01:20:27.800
twenty one. I'll tell you a quick story. In twenty

1513
01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:31.159
twenty one, my parents were living in an assisted living

1514
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:34.600
center north of Atlanta, and just some circumstance, and I

1515
01:20:34.640 --> 01:20:37.359
never shared the Gospel with my dad, just because he

1516
01:20:37.560 --> 01:20:40.600
just always intimidated me. And I would share the Gospel

1517
01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:42.960
with the carpet, but Dad.

1518
01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:44.720
Was different, right exactly.

1519
01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:48.520
So I told my wife, I said, I'm driving up there,

1520
01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:50.439
pray for me. I'm going to share the Gospel with

1521
01:20:50.520 --> 01:20:53.880
my dad. And I did. I got there and there

1522
01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:56.920
was a lot of my family were visiting them, and

1523
01:20:56.960 --> 01:20:59.319
I knew I couldn't do it then because they would

1524
01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:01.479
probably cruciated me in the parking lot because we were

1525
01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:04.720
still the black sheep. But the Lord parted the Red

1526
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:07.840
Sea about four pm that day, and everybody left except

1527
01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:10.039
for me and my mom and dad, and I got

1528
01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:13.720
up to walk in there, and the devil just got

1529
01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:18.520
all in my head and impressed upon me that he's

1530
01:21:18.560 --> 01:21:21.479
part of God's chosen people. He's okay, you don't need

1531
01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:23.680
to share anything with him. Go sit down. And I

1532
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:25.479
went to sit back down, and a friend of mine

1533
01:21:25.520 --> 01:21:29.560
texted me Roman's one point sixteen for I'm not ashamed

1534
01:21:29.560 --> 01:21:31.600
of the gospel. It's the power of God for salvation,

1535
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:33.600
first with the Jew, then for the Greek. And at

1536
01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:36.119
the bottom of the text it said get it done.

1537
01:21:36.680 --> 01:21:39.039
And this was an old soldier also that sent me.

1538
01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:40.439
Oh.

1539
01:21:40.560 --> 01:21:42.600
So I went in there. I thought, I got to

1540
01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:45.479
do it now, or I'm a total coward. So I

1541
01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:47.359
went in there, sat down at the foot of the bed,

1542
01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:50.840
and my dad was eighty nine years old. He gave

1543
01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:55.319
his life to Christ and he died the next day.

1544
01:21:57.640 --> 01:21:59.920
And when I got in my jeep to go back home,

1545
01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:02.600
I called my buddy and I said, why did you

1546
01:22:02.640 --> 01:22:05.039
text me that do you know where I am? And

1547
01:22:05.079 --> 01:22:06.960
he said, no, I have no idea where you are.

1548
01:22:07.000 --> 01:22:09.840
Are you and your wife? Okay? And I said, and

1549
01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:12.840
I told him the story and he and I cried

1550
01:22:12.880 --> 01:22:16.399
for probably half an hour home, And to this day

1551
01:22:17.079 --> 01:22:20.279
he just said, I felt like you needed encouragement and

1552
01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:20.880
he sent.

1553
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:22.279
Me that What a God moment.

1554
01:22:22.359 --> 01:22:24.319
Huh man, it was unbelievable.

1555
01:22:24.560 --> 01:22:30.079
Yeah, I can oh man, I'll tell you that. Yeah,

1556
01:22:30.399 --> 01:22:33.319
the hair on my arms are standing up right now.

1557
01:22:34.159 --> 01:22:37.199
But you love God moments like this, And the thing

1558
01:22:37.319 --> 01:22:40.720
is that you know they happened all the time. And

1559
01:22:40.840 --> 01:22:45.960
thank God you know that you responded to it, you know,

1560
01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:49.920
because you imagine if you had not responded to it

1561
01:22:50.239 --> 01:22:53.359
and your dad passed and you didn't share the.

1562
01:22:53.319 --> 01:22:55.960
Gospel with it, I would never be able to live

1563
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:56.520
with myself.

1564
01:22:56.640 --> 01:22:57.159
Yeah.

1565
01:22:57.520 --> 01:23:01.720
Ever, and so you know, over the next few years.

1566
01:23:01.720 --> 01:23:03.880
That was twenty twenty one, probably twenty twenty two to

1567
01:23:03.880 --> 01:23:06.199
twenty three. As I'm really reading through the scripture, I

1568
01:23:06.239 --> 01:23:08.880
said a minute ago that it's like the text became

1569
01:23:08.920 --> 01:23:12.239
three dimensional. What I think the Lord impressed upon me,

1570
01:23:12.279 --> 01:23:17.600
probably for fifteen years, is that the Bible's not this exhaustive,

1571
01:23:18.520 --> 01:23:23.359
this exhaustive list of everything that has ever happened will

1572
01:23:23.399 --> 01:23:26.800
ever happen. We put too much on it. It's a

1573
01:23:26.840 --> 01:23:31.520
supernatural inspired text whose intent is to lead a lost

1574
01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:35.359
center into a saving relationship with the Creator. And if

1575
01:23:35.399 --> 01:23:39.319
that's true, and I believe that's absolutely true, everything about

1576
01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:42.760
the Old Testament it's all pointing to Christ. Yes, would

1577
01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:49.159
include the words that were used, the idioms, the cultural expressions,

1578
01:23:48.880 --> 01:23:54.159
the ceremonies, it all points to Jesus. And it changes

1579
01:23:54.239 --> 01:23:57.239
the way you read it. There's so many words that

1580
01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:01.279
because we don't study I think the text enough, we

1581
01:24:01.439 --> 01:24:04.840
miss all the little nuances exactly.

1582
01:24:05.239 --> 01:24:08.039
Well. I got to tell you what makes me envious

1583
01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:13.079
of people who have had a traditional Jewish background is

1584
01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:17.159
you know, you've been exposed to all those nuances, and

1585
01:24:17.199 --> 01:24:20.159
so now you have all the nuances and then some

1586
01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:22.680
of us. I mean, for me, I consider myself as

1587
01:24:22.720 --> 01:24:27.119
a theologian, and I went to Bible College, and I

1588
01:24:27.199 --> 01:24:30.800
love the Word of God, and I'm really blessed whenever

1589
01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:33.600
I get an opportunity to speak with someone with a

1590
01:24:33.720 --> 01:24:37.119
Jewish background and tradition, because then they you know, like

1591
01:24:37.159 --> 01:24:40.119
you say, it adds a whole other dimension to what

1592
01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:43.239
you've been reading. Go oh man, yes, right, get I

1593
01:24:43.319 --> 01:24:47.880
get it now and how it all fits in. And

1594
01:24:47.960 --> 01:24:51.079
you know, so I'm envious of you in some regard

1595
01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:54.600
that you have that that kind of exposure and understanding.

1596
01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:59.039
Because the life of God's word, you know, he says

1597
01:24:59.119 --> 01:25:02.199
it's living, it's the living Word of God. I mean,

1598
01:25:02.520 --> 01:25:05.520
it's amazing what that does. Like you said, it's appropriate

1599
01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:08.319
in so many situations. And sometimes you'll get you read

1600
01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:12.399
the same verse, but it's appropriate in many situations because

1601
01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:13.000
it's alive.

1602
01:25:13.920 --> 01:25:18.039
You know, it is so alive. And I think there's

1603
01:25:18.079 --> 01:25:21.399
so many times we just missed things because we were

1604
01:25:21.479 --> 01:25:24.359
doing some Bible reading plan and we're checking boxes. I

1605
01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:27.159
read what I was supposed to read today, rather than

1606
01:25:27.199 --> 01:25:30.600
digging in and really getting your arms around. This is

1607
01:25:30.800 --> 01:25:34.840
actually the word of God and so many things, at

1608
01:25:34.920 --> 01:25:39.039
least for me. I remember when I was reading in Luke.

1609
01:25:39.319 --> 01:25:42.000
I want to say it was Luke eighteen, parable of

1610
01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:47.920
the tax Collector and the Pharisee, and it says that

1611
01:25:48.560 --> 01:25:51.479
you know, he beat his chest or to have mercy

1612
01:25:51.520 --> 01:25:54.680
on me a sinner. Well, I remember reading that and

1613
01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:59.319
the first time in two thousand to follow two thousand

1614
01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:03.800
and it just my memory, my mind just flooded with

1615
01:26:04.720 --> 01:26:08.119
growing up going to the synagogue for young Kipoor the

1616
01:26:08.199 --> 01:26:11.600
day of Atonement, and there's a prayer called the all

1617
01:26:11.720 --> 01:26:17.680
Hate and it's a list of fifty three transgressions or sins,

1618
01:26:18.039 --> 01:26:21.520
and you're saying, for the sin of whatever, Lord, have

1619
01:26:21.640 --> 01:26:25.199
mercy on me, pardon me, and grant me atonement. It's

1620
01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:29.479
fifty three times, and you do it ten times, and

1621
01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:31.800
you're beating your chest the whole time you're doing it.

1622
01:26:32.159 --> 01:26:35.279
And I never knew what that was, but then I

1623
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:39.399
read in Luke eighteen and that's what the tax collector

1624
01:26:39.520 --> 01:26:45.520
was doing. He's in mourning and grieving over his sin,

1625
01:26:46.199 --> 01:26:50.800
you know, and beating his heart with his right hand. Well,

1626
01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:54.479
when you know that, the next time you read Luke

1627
01:26:54.520 --> 01:26:57.880
eighteen or somebody that's watching or listening to this, I

1628
01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:01.159
promise you they'll read it differently. That's called tth spid

1629
01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:05.199
is the hebreen word. That's the traditional beating of the chest.

1630
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:09.279
Right. See. The Catholic prayer is we say, through my fault,

1631
01:27:09.479 --> 01:27:11.439
through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

1632
01:27:12.359 --> 01:27:15.000
Yeah, yeah, and we have some grievous faults.

1633
01:27:15.119 --> 01:27:20.600
I know exactly well, Ed Griffin Hagen, we got to

1634
01:27:20.680 --> 01:27:23.159
leave it there. Gosh, I could spend a lot of

1635
01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:26.239
time with you. Congratulations on this book. The book is

1636
01:27:26.279 --> 01:27:28.199
available at all the usual places.

1637
01:27:27.840 --> 01:27:29.720
I gather it. Is it sure?

1638
01:27:30.279 --> 01:27:33.680
Three hundred and sixty five Hebrew words every Christian should know.

1639
01:27:34.319 --> 01:27:38.439
And as Jesus said, it's not by food alone, but

1640
01:27:38.479 --> 01:27:40.760
by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

1641
01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:44.920
So enjoy the banquet that is waiting for you in

1642
01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:48.079
this book. Three hundred and sixty five Hebrew words, Ed

1643
01:27:48.119 --> 01:27:49.600
Griffin Hagen, thank you for being with us.

1644
01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:51.840
Take care, God bless Thank you, God, bless you.

1645
01:27:52.640 --> 01:27:56.479
Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it.

1646
01:27:56.640 --> 01:27:59.760
You're spending more, you are making the same or less.

1647
01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:01.600
My So what do you do?

1648
01:28:02.079 --> 01:28:04.279
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

1649
01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:08.159
It's not your fault, it's the economy. And guess what

1650
01:28:08.720 --> 01:28:10.840
If you rack up too much credit card debt, like

1651
01:28:10.880 --> 01:28:13.560
some of us, you can't pay your bills. Then the

1652
01:28:13.640 --> 01:28:17.159
credit card companies, as nice as they are, start hounding

1653
01:28:17.159 --> 01:28:21.000
you for money. Then you start your downward spiral. A

1654
01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:23.199
smart thing for you to do is to call the

1655
01:28:23.399 --> 01:28:26.800

We're going to be talking about in about your career

1710
01:31:35.399 --> 01:31:39.520
and how AI comes into play with it, and of

1711
01:31:39.560 --> 01:31:43.680
course and of course got automation changing the workplace environment

1712
01:31:43.720 --> 01:31:45.840
as well. So are you ready for it well? A

1713
01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:49.560
new survey from the University of Phoenix finds employers increasingly

1714
01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:53.039
valuing workers who keep their skills current only makes sense right.

1715
01:31:53.479 --> 01:31:57.840
Seventy eight percent of hiring leaders say employees with online

1716
01:31:58.039 --> 01:32:02.399
educational credentials standout because becaus they bring skills aligned with

1717
01:32:02.479 --> 01:32:07.079
today's workplace technologies and tools. At the same time, ninety

1718
01:32:07.159 --> 01:32:10.039
eight percent say online degrees are more credible in the

1719
01:32:10.039 --> 01:32:13.520
workplace than they were ten years ago, reflecting how employer

1720
01:32:13.600 --> 01:32:17.920
expectations and access to learning have evolved. And here to

1721
01:32:17.960 --> 01:32:20.840
tell us more about it is the Provost and Chief

1722
01:32:20.880 --> 01:32:24.199
Academic Officer with the University of Phoenix, doctor John Woods.

1723
01:32:24.239 --> 01:32:26.000
Doctor John, Welcome to the show. Good to have you

1724
01:32:26.039 --> 01:32:26.359
with us.

1725
01:32:27.600 --> 01:32:28.840
Thanks for having me on today.

1726
01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:29.039
Bill.

1727
01:32:29.600 --> 01:32:31.439
Hey, this is a lot of fun, isn't it. I mean,

1728
01:32:31.560 --> 01:32:36.039
I love when opportunity comes about and what it can do. Now,

1729
01:32:36.119 --> 01:32:39.560
if you're flexible and you're still eager to learn, you

1730
01:32:39.600 --> 01:32:42.800
can really take full advantage of this environment, can't you.

1731
01:32:44.239 --> 01:32:47.720
Yeah, you pointed out a couple of great statistics from

1732
01:32:47.760 --> 01:32:50.800
the study, and what you said there is also key,

1733
01:32:50.880 --> 01:32:54.119
which is the signal that it sends to an employer

1734
01:32:54.119 --> 01:32:58.079
that somebody is willing and able to engage in continuous

1735
01:32:58.399 --> 01:33:03.720
growth development learn whatever that might mean. That that sends

1736
01:33:03.720 --> 01:33:06.079
a message in and of itself, not just the skills

1737
01:33:06.119 --> 01:33:09.000
that are being obtained, but that somebody is taking the

1738
01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:11.600
time and making the effort to do that.

1739
01:33:12.439 --> 01:33:14.479
Well, the fact of the matter is is that business

1740
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:18.600
is ever dynamic, right, Business is changing, Its demands are

1741
01:33:18.640 --> 01:33:23.640
always changing, and it really puts the onus on employees.

1742
01:33:23.680 --> 01:33:25.359
And if you want a good job and be a

1743
01:33:25.439 --> 01:33:29.680
valuable asset to that company, you better be dynamic as well. Right.

1744
01:33:31.239 --> 01:33:34.680
Yeah, there's a phrase that we use in the study,

1745
01:33:35.640 --> 01:33:37.079
the half life of skills.

1746
01:33:37.479 --> 01:33:39.319
Yes, the half type of skills.

1747
01:33:39.399 --> 01:33:41.560
What that means is that the skills that got you

1748
01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:43.840
the job you're in, or maybe that you perform every

1749
01:33:43.880 --> 01:33:47.119
day on the job, that those skills have a little

1750
01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:50.359
bit less meaning, a little bit less relevance, maybe a

1751
01:33:50.399 --> 01:33:53.199
little bit less value each and every day. What we're

1752
01:33:53.199 --> 01:33:56.880
seeing is an acceleration of what we call the half

1753
01:33:56.920 --> 01:33:59.880
life of skills, which is a speeding up of which

1754
01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:03.119
those skills become a little bit less meaningful, putting a

1755
01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:07.600
premium on what you said, which is continuous upskilling and reskilling.

1756
01:34:08.319 --> 01:34:11.560
And I like that term half life of job skills

1757
01:34:11.840 --> 01:34:16.159
because sometimes you know, you know, we want things, you know,

1758
01:34:16.159 --> 01:34:18.800
although we get bored sometimes when things are always the same.

1759
01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:22.119
But the fact of the matter is is that you know,

1760
01:34:22.159 --> 01:34:25.159
there's part of our own humanity that wants to just

1761
01:34:25.239 --> 01:34:28.079
count on our past headlines, right.

1762
01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:33.039
Yeah, and we can no longer rely on that, that's

1763
01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:37.199
for sure. And you know, I think every single employee

1764
01:34:37.199 --> 01:34:40.399
could look around and see what's happening in their industry,

1765
01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:44.560
in their field, or in their particular organization and try

1766
01:34:44.600 --> 01:34:47.479
and understand what skills maybe are becoming more and more

1767
01:34:47.520 --> 01:34:52.359
important and make a plan very quickly to have a

1768
01:34:52.399 --> 01:34:54.920
conversation with the employer about whether or not they support

1769
01:34:54.960 --> 01:34:58.359
the acquisition of that skill, whether they offer training and

1770
01:34:58.399 --> 01:35:01.159
development to help somebody obtain that skill, or whether the

1771
01:35:01.239 --> 01:35:03.920
lawfer maybe tuition reimbursement for them.

1772
01:35:03.760 --> 01:35:06.199
To go get that skill. Uh.

1773
01:35:06.239 --> 01:35:09.720
And I think that's that's maybe the biggest takeaway here

1774
01:35:09.840 --> 01:35:15.119
is continuous upskilling and reskilling, not panic or having a

1775
01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:19.239
conversation right away with an employer about new skill acquisition

1776
01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:21.640
and to what degree they will support that.

1777
01:35:22.199 --> 01:35:24.680
You know, doctor John, I'd also recommend that you be

1778
01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:28.960
situationally aware. I mean, look at the new hire hires

1779
01:35:29.000 --> 01:35:31.520
that are coming into the company, who are there hiring

1780
01:35:31.600 --> 01:35:33.520
and what is their what is their skill set that

1781
01:35:33.800 --> 01:35:36.319
they're bringing into the company. That could be quite telling

1782
01:35:36.359 --> 01:35:37.319
as well, right.

1783
01:35:38.359 --> 01:35:41.399
Yeah, I think so. I think paying close attention to

1784
01:35:41.479 --> 01:35:44.399
those things. What no one wants to do is wake

1785
01:35:44.520 --> 01:35:47.079
up one day and find out that their skills are.

1786
01:35:46.920 --> 01:35:49.680
No longer valuable and new people.

1787
01:35:49.560 --> 01:35:53.039
Have been brought in who have skills that are more valuable,

1788
01:35:53.239 --> 01:35:55.960
and that would be reason for panic.

1789
01:35:56.000 --> 01:35:57.920
And I think there are signs.

1790
01:35:57.560 --> 01:36:00.119
As you said, we can pay attention to who's coming

1791
01:36:00.159 --> 01:36:03.720
into an organization, what things are being done differently in

1792
01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:06.920
an organization, and learn the skills that make sense and

1793
01:36:07.039 --> 01:36:08.000
light of those changes.

1794
01:36:08.680 --> 01:36:10.039
Yeah, and you want to get ahead of it as

1795
01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:13.840
much as possible right as opposed to being behind, because

1796
01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:17.640
you know, especially if you're falling years behind, you got

1797
01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:19.479
a lot of catch up in you know, catch up

1798
01:36:19.520 --> 01:36:21.079
to do right in short order.

1799
01:36:22.439 --> 01:36:26.479
Yeah, and again accepting the fact that while you might

1800
01:36:26.479 --> 01:36:31.039
get caught up, you're not done. Yeah, this will be

1801
01:36:31.079 --> 01:36:33.960
continuous and the wave of change we're seeing right now

1802
01:36:34.279 --> 01:36:38.199
may be more powerful, more more obvious to us, but

1803
01:36:38.600 --> 01:36:42.840
that the change is going to be constant. And this

1804
01:36:42.920 --> 01:36:45.079
is not a one and done where you upskill and

1805
01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:50.039
and can afford to relax and not pay attention to

1806
01:36:50.079 --> 01:36:51.920
the new changes that come along thereafter.

1807
01:36:52.520 --> 01:36:55.079
Well as quickly as AI and automation is moving it's

1808
01:36:55.079 --> 01:36:57.439
not only that it's constant, but it's fast.

1809
01:36:58.439 --> 01:37:02.720
Yeah, fast, and to your earlier point, impacting all of

1810
01:37:02.800 --> 01:37:06.279
us in in all kinds of ways, in all kinds

1811
01:37:06.279 --> 01:37:10.640
of industries. It's not just impacting technical work. AI is

1812
01:37:10.720 --> 01:37:18.159
changing collaboration and communication, uh, tools for workflows, the way

1813
01:37:18.159 --> 01:37:18.760
we do work.

1814
01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:19.800
We're using it in our.

1815
01:37:19.680 --> 01:37:24.279
Personal lives more than ever before. So, uh, this is

1816
01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:28.600
not just something that's impacting you know it or the

1817
01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:30.520
or or the technical fields.

1818
01:37:31.279 --> 01:37:35.119
H Exactly. Uh, what are employers telling you that they

1819
01:37:35.199 --> 01:37:36.319
want most doctor.

1820
01:37:36.119 --> 01:37:41.239
John Well, A lot of them are saying that, again,

1821
01:37:41.359 --> 01:37:45.439
somebody who embraces learning is is someone they want, Uh,

1822
01:37:45.760 --> 01:37:49.479
someone they're they're you know, that's a they're encouraged by

1823
01:37:49.560 --> 01:37:54.279
that signal. I think they're also saying that when people

1824
01:37:54.399 --> 01:37:58.800
learn online that they're bringing really current and credible skills

1825
01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:03.479
uh to of the table to the workplace. The credibility

1826
01:38:03.479 --> 01:38:08.039
of online we think, has jumped tremendously. In the survey,

1827
01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:11.960
ninety eight percent of employers say that online learning is

1828
01:38:11.960 --> 01:38:14.119
more credible than it was a decade ago. That was

1829
01:38:14.720 --> 01:38:18.479
likely accelerated when we all had to learn online, right exactly,

1830
01:38:19.600 --> 01:38:23.439
But online is a way for people to learn to

1831
01:38:23.640 --> 01:38:27.199
upskill in a way that fits into their busy work

1832
01:38:27.560 --> 01:38:31.920
and personal life, and employers are really embracing that.

1833
01:38:32.640 --> 01:38:32.800
Well.

1834
01:38:32.840 --> 01:38:35.199
The other thing too, Doc John, I see that online

1835
01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:38.680
education is more up to date as opposed to a

1836
01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:42.079
traditional classroom because you know, the professors get lazy. This

1837
01:38:42.159 --> 01:38:44.720
is the curriculum they've been teaching for the last ten years.

1838
01:38:45.039 --> 01:38:47.399
They're reticent, you know, they might write a new book

1839
01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:50.640
once in a while and that sort of thing. Whereas online,

1840
01:38:51.000 --> 01:38:55.920
I mean, it really commands that that environment stay up

1841
01:38:55.920 --> 01:38:59.399
to date because these are some of the questions the

1842
01:38:59.439 --> 01:39:00.800
students are asking, right.

1843
01:39:02.359 --> 01:39:07.319
Yeah, we love that element of online education that it

1844
01:39:07.359 --> 01:39:09.079
can be super current.

1845
01:39:09.560 --> 01:39:11.920
We also have a model where the people who teach.

1846
01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:16.119
Our classes are practitioners and so they're in the field.

1847
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:19.279
They not only have the academic credentials to teach, there

1848
01:39:19.279 --> 01:39:20.439
are people who are in the.

1849
01:39:20.399 --> 01:39:21.760
Fields in which they're teaching.

1850
01:39:22.159 --> 01:39:26.840
So we think that pairing is really important, really brings

1851
01:39:26.840 --> 01:39:28.920
a lot of currency, a lot of as you said,

1852
01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:31.880
real world relevance to the table.

1853
01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:36.199
What types of training education are most valuable right now?

1854
01:39:37.760 --> 01:39:40.520
Well, I think that will vary as people look at

1855
01:39:40.560 --> 01:39:44.239
their own workplace setting. I think the skills are transferable,

1856
01:39:44.279 --> 01:39:48.479
which is important. So we're trying to teach students who

1857
01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:51.760
emerge from the University of Phoenix to be AI ready,

1858
01:39:52.279 --> 01:39:56.000
and that can be in any different field or profession

1859
01:39:56.159 --> 01:39:59.800
because really these changes are impacting all.

1860
01:39:59.720 --> 01:40:00.560
Of the workforce.

1861
01:40:01.439 --> 01:40:04.399
But we're also teaching people not only the learning of

1862
01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:09.359
the skills to use the tools, but ethical and responsible

1863
01:40:09.439 --> 01:40:12.159
use of these tools, which we think is really critical

1864
01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:12.640
as well.

1865
01:40:13.520 --> 01:40:15.560
Are people in the students that you're dealing with, are

1866
01:40:15.560 --> 01:40:18.680
they more and more embracing AI and understanding it? Whereas

1867
01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:20.720
you know, some people who are not up to date,

1868
01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:23.439
are just they you know, their head spin when they

1869
01:40:23.439 --> 01:40:24.760
hear AI. Right.

1870
01:40:25.920 --> 01:40:28.960
Yeah, there's a real variability there.

1871
01:40:29.000 --> 01:40:33.479
Some people are very mistrusting of AI today, whereas some

1872
01:40:33.520 --> 01:40:38.199
people are using it daily. We've had, you know, people

1873
01:40:38.239 --> 01:40:42.039
tell us that they've used AI to plan their whole

1874
01:40:42.199 --> 01:40:47.479
entire next vacation or home renovation project, and so it

1875
01:40:47.520 --> 01:40:51.439
really it really varies. But I think we're going to

1876
01:40:51.520 --> 01:40:54.479
see an acceleration of the acceptance of AI. I think

1877
01:40:54.520 --> 01:40:59.359
that's inevitable, and I don't think we have a choice,

1878
01:41:00.039 --> 01:41:02.560
given it's rapid adoption in the workplace.

1879
01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:05.039
You know, without a doubt well, Doctor John Woods, provo's

1880
01:41:05.079 --> 01:41:07.960
chief academic officer at the University of Phoenix and founding

1881
01:41:07.960 --> 01:41:11.680
director of the University of Phoenix Career Institute, Doctor John

1882
01:41:11.680 --> 01:41:14.359
as we wrap things up, what's one step workers can

1883
01:41:14.399 --> 01:41:16.000
take today to protect their career.

1884
01:41:17.520 --> 01:41:20.720
Well, we've got the study information at Phoenix Study tou

1885
01:41:20.920 --> 01:41:24.760
slash online credentials. But the most critical step I think

1886
01:41:24.760 --> 01:41:27.520
someone could take would be to embrace the idea of

1887
01:41:28.800 --> 01:41:33.159
continuous and immediate upskilling and reskilling.

1888
01:41:33.840 --> 01:41:35.880
Well, there you go, doctor John Woods, Thank you so

1889
01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:36.680

Hey, I'm doing terrific, I tell you, I am. I

love this time of year in this seat, you know,

1975
01:45:59.359 --> 01:46:01.279
the lentends. And I know some people, what are you

1976
01:46:01.359 --> 01:46:04.880
a masochist? I mean you're talking about you know, depriving

1977
01:46:04.920 --> 01:46:08.399
yourself and you know, almsgiving and all those things. I

1978
01:46:08.520 --> 01:46:12.399
just I love it because it's it's a time to

1979
01:46:12.800 --> 01:46:17.439
you know, kind of purify everything, right, right, be prepared

1980
01:46:17.479 --> 01:46:20.640
for what's coming up here in the celebration of God's

greatest gift to his creation.

1982
01:46:23.079 --> 01:46:23.520
That's right.

1983
01:46:23.560 --> 01:46:24.880
And you know, one of the things that I think

1984
01:46:24.920 --> 01:46:28.800
that gets lost in American consumer culture is any sense

1985
01:46:28.880 --> 01:46:30.159
of seasonal rhythm.

1986
01:46:30.600 --> 01:46:32.000
Right, It's just.

1987
01:46:32.039 --> 01:46:35.199
Go, we work, work, work, and then the weekends we

1988
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:39.199
crash work, work, work, and there's no sense of the

1989
01:46:39.239 --> 01:46:40.920
passage of time and of seasons.

1990
01:46:40.920 --> 01:46:41.720
And I love that.

1991
01:46:42.399 --> 01:46:46.600
In the liturgical calendar in the Christian Church, we have

1992
01:46:47.319 --> 01:46:50.319
you know, normal time, we have Advent, and then we

1993
01:46:50.399 --> 01:46:53.039
have the Easter season, which is a time of reflection,

1994
01:46:53.199 --> 01:46:58.079
it's a time of preparation, it's a time of sobriety

1995
01:46:58.239 --> 01:47:01.079
in the biggest sense of that word, right, just being

1996
01:47:01.119 --> 01:47:03.479
aware of who we are, who God is, what Jesus

1997
01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:06.479
did for us and what that means for us as

1998
01:47:06.520 --> 01:47:11.720
we prepare to remember and celebrate his crucifixion and then

1999
01:47:11.760 --> 01:47:12.960
obviously his resurrection.

2000
01:47:13.640 --> 01:47:16.840
Well and fasting is key to this because one of

2001
01:47:16.880 --> 01:47:19.560
the things that we have to overcome, of course, is

2002
01:47:19.640 --> 01:47:24.119
our flesh. Yeah, and we're you know, telling our flesh. No,

2003
01:47:24.239 --> 01:47:25.880
you're not the boss of me, right.

2004
01:47:25.880 --> 01:47:31.319
Right, that's right, and I think fascinating in terms of

2005
01:47:31.319 --> 01:47:34.359
our appetites across the board, you know, and the seven

2006
01:47:34.439 --> 01:47:37.760
deadly sins we have, there are three of those that

2007
01:47:37.800 --> 01:47:41.199
deal with appetites greed, gluttony, and lust, and then the

2008
01:47:41.239 --> 01:47:44.800
other ones are sloth, and then the attitude ones which

2009
01:47:44.840 --> 01:47:47.600
are anger, envy, and pride. But I think that our

2010
01:47:48.079 --> 01:47:51.720
appetites get wrapped up sometimes together, and maybe we have

2011
01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:54.039
one or two that we wrestle with more than others,

2012
01:47:54.079 --> 01:47:57.439
but all of those are dealing with the fact that

2013
01:47:58.399 --> 01:48:02.600
we have this desire for things to be filled, whether

2014
01:48:02.640 --> 01:48:06.840
that's physically with food, whether it's sexually, whether it's with

2015
01:48:07.000 --> 01:48:10.359
stuff that we think interacting with is going to fill us.

2016
01:48:10.399 --> 01:48:13.159
And there's a place for all of those things. It's

2017
01:48:13.159 --> 01:48:16.119
not that they're all bad, but any of them can

2018
01:48:16.119 --> 01:48:18.560
get out of whack. And I think what fasting does

2019
01:48:18.640 --> 01:48:23.000
is it sensitizes us to the reality of our habits

2020
01:48:23.199 --> 01:48:26.920
that we cultivate. And it's a reset button. And I

2021
01:48:27.359 --> 01:48:32.399
have found, especially with fasting from food, that you become

2022
01:48:32.520 --> 01:48:36.079
much more aware of how often you use food to

2023
01:48:36.159 --> 01:48:39.439
medicate any emotion. You know, if you're happy, have a chip.

2024
01:48:39.560 --> 01:48:42.560
If I'm sad, have a chip. If I'm bored, have

2025
01:48:42.600 --> 01:48:43.760
a chip. Oh that's so weird.

2026
01:48:43.760 --> 01:48:45.560
The chips are all gone. How did that happen?

2027
01:48:45.720 --> 01:48:49.119
Right exactly? And I thought I was happy, And I

2028
01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:53.039
thought I was happy exactly exactly now. And the thing

2029
01:48:53.159 --> 01:48:57.520
is also what I've been appreciating. I don't know. Have

2030
01:48:57.600 --> 01:48:59.399
you been involved at all with a hollow app?

2031
01:49:00.439 --> 01:49:00.880
I haven't.

2032
01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:02.560
But I have another one that I want to bring

2033
01:49:02.640 --> 01:49:05.239
up here in a minute. Okay, not an app, it's

2034
01:49:05.439 --> 01:49:08.000
a podcast that's coming out, but go ahead tell me.

2035
01:49:08.039 --> 01:49:13.000
Well, the hellow app has just been unbelievable. The founder

2036
01:49:13.039 --> 01:49:15.399
of it, Alex Jones, not to be confused with the

2037
01:49:16.600 --> 01:49:22.039
Alex Jones. Uh. This this young man in his search

2038
01:49:22.119 --> 01:49:24.920
for God, and I could relate to him, you know,

2039
01:49:25.119 --> 01:49:31.000
started you know, investigating all these other myst mystical religions

2040
01:49:31.079 --> 01:49:35.560
and and uh, and they were already you know, utilizing

2041
01:49:35.640 --> 01:49:38.880
an app to help for meditation and things like that. Well,

2042
01:49:39.199 --> 01:49:44.000
when he reconnected with God and having a Catholic background

2043
01:49:44.079 --> 01:49:47.439
and all, he started to go back to his origins

2044
01:49:48.039 --> 01:49:51.640
and realized that, wow, you know that the church doesn't

2045
01:49:51.640 --> 01:49:55.760
have something like this, you know, Catholic or Christian or

2046
01:49:55.800 --> 01:49:58.479
otherwise they could do that. In fact, when he told

2047
01:49:58.479 --> 01:50:01.399
his mother that who was a devout Catholic, hey, I

2048
01:50:01.399 --> 01:50:04.720
got this idea about doing this app. Uh, this prayer

2049
01:50:04.800 --> 01:50:07.439
app and she goes, you're not still never work.

2050
01:50:08.039 --> 01:50:11.760
Well, it's nothing like affirmation from your family, right, Well

2051
01:50:11.840 --> 01:50:12.600
yeah exactly.

2052
01:50:12.840 --> 01:50:17.520
But but the key affirmation he got because he had

2053
01:50:17.600 --> 01:50:19.399
hears to hear, was from God.

2054
01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:20.159
Yes.

2055
01:50:20.279 --> 01:50:23.199
Right. And and this is the thing. When God calls

2056
01:50:23.239 --> 01:50:27.039
you to do things like build an arc, right, you

2057
01:50:27.079 --> 01:50:29.439
know your neighbors are going to think, uh, there's that

2058
01:50:29.560 --> 01:50:33.439
wacky at im. Oh I got the honey, it's it's

2059
01:50:33.479 --> 01:50:37.920
already been three months. He's still he's built building. Yeah exactly,

2060
01:50:38.439 --> 01:50:42.880
but you know, uh, but God, so he's he stays

2061
01:50:42.920 --> 01:50:46.880
the course. And now you've got millions of people around

2062
01:50:46.960 --> 01:50:51.159
the world involved with this app. That's it's a neat

2063
01:50:51.239 --> 01:50:53.520
system to where you know, like you say, just like

2064
01:50:53.520 --> 01:50:58.439
the liturgical calendar, you have it there because they're destination points. There.

2065
01:50:58.479 --> 01:51:00.439
There are points to say, Okay, hey, you're on the

2066
01:51:00.520 --> 01:51:04.760
road and you're moving in the right direction. And uh. Anyway,

2067
01:51:05.000 --> 01:51:07.880
all that to say is my engagement with the Hallowac,

2068
01:51:08.199 --> 01:51:11.239
especially during the Lenten season, has just been powerful. You know.

2069
01:51:11.359 --> 01:51:14.960
Jonathan Rumy is the voices and and his fact that

2070
01:51:15.079 --> 01:51:17.479
it's interesting because when he reads the I don't know

2071
01:51:17.479 --> 01:51:19.479
if I told you this or not, but when he

2072
01:51:19.560 --> 01:51:24.640
reads the Gospel, he uses Jesus voice to Jesus voice. Yes, exactly,

2073
01:51:25.039 --> 01:51:27.000
it's sterio. I mean, I remember the first time I go,

2074
01:51:27.560 --> 01:51:30.479
oh my gosh, he transitioned to his Jesus.

2075
01:51:30.800 --> 01:51:32.159
He's slightly British.

2076
01:51:32.520 --> 01:51:38.720
Yeah, somebody something or something, you know. And of course

2077
01:51:38.800 --> 01:51:41.680
Jonathan and part of his career he did voices, so

2078
01:51:42.319 --> 01:51:45.119
I mean, but he's definitely done something to effect and

2079
01:51:45.520 --> 01:51:50.159
identify Jesus with chosen and his voice and everything. So anyway,

2080
01:51:50.199 --> 01:51:53.079
but well away, let me let me just say I'm sorry.

2081
01:51:53.119 --> 01:51:56.760
I'm sorry I went the long road road around here.

2082
01:51:56.800 --> 01:51:59.680
But anyway, all that to say is that one of

2083
01:51:59.720 --> 01:52:02.079
the key things that has been coming up this past week.

2084
01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:05.279
Relevant to what you were saying earlier, is this recurring

2085
01:52:05.279 --> 01:52:07.880
theme of you know, God empty me, God film me,

2086
01:52:07.920 --> 01:52:10.560
God use me. Yeah, God empty me, God feel me,

2087
01:52:10.600 --> 01:52:12.760
God use me. Think about that. You know, Hey, whatever

2088
01:52:13.000 --> 01:52:15.399
things I have that are tied to this world, and

2089
01:52:15.439 --> 01:52:17.239
you know, you know that are gonna all, you know,

2090
01:52:17.319 --> 01:52:19.880
burn up right away and rush out and you know,

2091
01:52:19.960 --> 01:52:22.079
go away, you know, get rid of that stuff. You know,

2092
01:52:22.199 --> 01:52:25.840
empty me out, and then fill me with your holiness

2093
01:52:25.880 --> 01:52:28.159
and righteousness, fill me with those things that are of view.

2094
01:52:28.920 --> 01:52:31.960
And then and then, you know, God, can you use me?

2095
01:52:32.520 --> 01:52:34.720
Am I I don't want to be available for you

2096
01:52:34.840 --> 01:52:36.479
so anyway, Well, and we.

2097
01:52:36.439 --> 01:52:39.239
All have to be emptied, right, I mean we all

2098
01:52:39.319 --> 01:52:43.720
have stuff that needs to be poured out sometimes, stuff

2099
01:52:43.720 --> 01:52:46.239
that needs to be cleaned out, right, like the in

2100
01:52:46.279 --> 01:52:50.239
the inside of the dirty cup, right, And and then

2101
01:52:50.319 --> 01:52:55.680
we become, by God's grace, a vessel through which He

2102
01:52:55.720 --> 01:52:58.960
can be poured And you know, it's We're never going

2103
01:52:59.039 --> 01:53:02.720
to be completely sanctified on this side of things.

2104
01:53:03.680 --> 01:53:04.319
But I think one of.

2105
01:53:04.359 --> 01:53:07.439
My favorite passages of Scripture is in Hebrews. I think

2106
01:53:07.439 --> 01:53:11.960
it's in Hebrews twelve maybe and there's one translation that

2107
01:53:12.039 --> 01:53:17.199
says he is perfecting forever those who have been made perfect.

2108
01:53:17.520 --> 01:53:21.359
You know, he is sanctifying. Yes, he's in the process

2109
01:53:21.399 --> 01:53:25.000
of making us more like him. But it's not about

2110
01:53:25.079 --> 01:53:27.640
us trying to earn that on our own. He has

2111
01:53:27.720 --> 01:53:31.399
already done it and we're just living into that identity.

2112
01:53:31.520 --> 01:53:35.039
And I think everything we're talking about really connects with

2113
01:53:35.119 --> 01:53:37.359
that reality here today, right.

2114
01:53:37.680 --> 01:53:42.079
Yeah, the sanctification is a bit of a process as

2115
01:53:42.119 --> 01:53:46.439
we Yeah, yes, you know, and God bless some people

2116
01:53:46.520 --> 01:53:51.920
who get a sense of immediacy. Yeah, they're very fortunate. Yes,

2117
01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:55.720
you know, God has had to thank God for his

2118
01:53:55.960 --> 01:53:57.000
long suffering with me.

2119
01:53:57.520 --> 01:54:01.760
Well, yeah, exactly, and me too, me too.

2120
01:54:01.319 --> 01:54:06.159
Me to go through this process. And so anyway, all

2121
01:54:06.159 --> 01:54:09.159
that to say is that this is an incredible time

2122
01:54:09.239 --> 01:54:12.319
of year to where you get to know yourself a

2123
01:54:12.319 --> 01:54:14.520
little bit more in the process, like you say, when

2124
01:54:14.600 --> 01:54:19.680
you start depriving yourself and you're going to refrain and

2125
01:54:19.760 --> 01:54:22.119
fast in whatever form, you know, whether it's like you know,

2126
01:54:22.159 --> 01:54:24.199
you and I have been talking about social media, and

2127
01:54:24.199 --> 01:54:26.039
then of course we had the big case this this

2128
01:54:26.079 --> 01:54:29.319
week that got settled. I mean, how revealing is this.

2129
01:54:29.880 --> 01:54:32.680
Well, how revealing is it, and how many more are

2130
01:54:32.680 --> 01:54:35.319
they're going to be. You know, I read somewhere there

2131
01:54:35.319 --> 01:54:40.439
are thousands of other cases pending, and this is a

2132
01:54:40.600 --> 01:54:43.600
huge precedent. I forget what was the settlement, like three

2133
01:54:43.680 --> 01:54:46.039
hundred and seventy five million dollars or something like that.

2134
01:54:46.039 --> 01:54:48.199
I don't know if it ended up to be that high,

2135
01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:51.960
because I heard three and three, which was pretty low

2136
01:54:52.079 --> 01:54:53.159
in terms of millions.

2137
01:54:53.399 --> 01:54:55.920
Maybe I'm looking at another I saw.

2138
01:54:55.760 --> 01:54:58.399
Something else, and I could I could be off well

2139
01:54:58.439 --> 01:55:00.880
because I remember when the judgment first came down it

2140
01:55:00.960 --> 01:55:03.239
was a little over three million. I thought, well, le's time.

2141
01:55:03.279 --> 01:55:04.800
But they said, oh, but you know, you got the

2142
01:55:04.920 --> 01:55:07.039
you got phase two, you got the next ones, which

2143
01:55:07.039 --> 01:55:10.680
could be you know, much higher, and I, unless I misheard,

2144
01:55:11.039 --> 01:55:13.319
I heard another three million. So it seems to be

2145
01:55:13.399 --> 01:55:17.000
very very low. But like you said, you know, more

2146
01:55:17.039 --> 01:55:20.560
than anything else, I think that we're all aware. Parents

2147
01:55:20.560 --> 01:55:23.720
have been aware, and that this has been a problem

2148
01:55:23.720 --> 01:55:26.479
for a long time. I think this gives them some

2149
01:55:26.560 --> 01:55:28.439
force to be able to go and tell their brady

2150
01:55:28.479 --> 01:55:30.920
teenage kids, I'm sorry, you know, this is just the

2151
01:55:30.920 --> 01:55:33.079
way it is. I mean, they've been influentd we now

2152
01:55:33.159 --> 01:55:35.399
know the truth. We want you to be free and

2153
01:55:35.680 --> 01:55:38.359
we're not going to allow you to do this anymore.

2154
01:55:38.520 --> 01:55:41.319
And then if the government or you know, parents, of course,

2155
01:55:41.560 --> 01:55:43.439
the parents are the first line of defense and say

2156
01:55:43.560 --> 01:55:45.960
I'm sorry, you're not going to be involved with social

2157
01:55:45.960 --> 01:55:49.199
media until you're sixteen or seventeen or whatever age. And

2158
01:55:49.319 --> 01:55:51.960
if the government decides to do something different, as they are,

2159
01:55:52.039 --> 01:55:54.239
I think that what is it Australia, You got to

2160
01:55:54.279 --> 01:55:55.840
be there sixteen sixteen?

2161
01:55:55.920 --> 01:55:56.039
Is it?

2162
01:55:56.159 --> 01:55:59.920
Yes? Right, at sixteen, it might be sixteen, right, yeah,

2163
01:55:59.000 --> 01:56:04.439
So anyway, but these things you learn by you know,

2164
01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:07.199
by fasting and by taking away to go oh man

2165
01:56:07.279 --> 01:56:09.640
and I and maybe these kids did not realize it.

2166
01:56:09.680 --> 01:56:12.640
Maybe they didn't realize how addicted they were when the

2167
01:56:12.720 --> 01:56:15.279
schools even said, hey, you're not going to have access

2168
01:56:15.319 --> 01:56:18.479
to your phones anymore in classrooms, right right.

2169
01:56:18.359 --> 01:56:19.199
No, that's right.

2170
01:56:19.319 --> 01:56:22.640
And I think you know, the thing about fasting is

2171
01:56:22.760 --> 01:56:27.880
you're breaking you're breaking that habit. And when we're talking

2172
01:56:27.880 --> 01:56:31.880
about something like our interaction with phones, it's it's an addiction.

2173
01:56:32.359 --> 01:56:35.520
And you know, you go through the DTS, the detox, right,

2174
01:56:35.640 --> 01:56:38.279
you get a little jittery, and then you get to

2175
01:56:38.319 --> 01:56:43.159
the other side and you realize Oh man, I've been

2176
01:56:43.239 --> 01:56:46.000
so agitated and I didn't even know it. Yeah, and

2177
01:56:46.119 --> 01:56:47.800
I think that's that's the payoff.

2178
01:56:48.239 --> 01:56:52.680
Yeah, well about forty seconds left. Holy Week coming up, Yes,

2179
01:56:53.239 --> 01:56:55.920
movies to watch and Holy Week as we get ready

2180
01:56:56.319 --> 01:56:58.960
to be witnesses to an empty grave.

2181
01:56:59.439 --> 01:57:03.960
So I really like Risen. It's a sort of a

2182
01:57:04.000 --> 01:57:05.920
who done it? It sort of feels like one part

2183
01:57:05.920 --> 01:57:09.800
in Jesus movie, one part CSI about a Roman centurion

2184
01:57:09.880 --> 01:57:14.880
investigating the empty tomb. And man, it's really one of

2185
01:57:14.880 --> 01:57:15.479
my favorites.

2186
01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:20.439
Yeah, I still I'm still in love with a passion.

2187
01:57:21.640 --> 01:57:25.880
As as hard as it is to watch at times,

2188
01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:29.600
I just love what you know, what they did with

2189
01:57:29.680 --> 01:57:33.199
that movie and continues to be a strong favorite. Well,

2190
01:57:33.199 --> 01:57:35.359
