1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,230 The war drums continue to beat in the Indo-Pacific and the great litmus test 2 00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:08,670 to understand just how far things are progressing would be Japan, Japan. 3 00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:16,890 For the first time, since the cold war has begun nationwide drills to prepare and 4 00:00:16,890 --> 00:00:23,220 protect their people from the intimate, incoming missile strikes at the same 5 00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:25,380 time, Australia, the United States. 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,940 And the UK have left France out in the cold as they created the occas. 7 00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,420 Now, if you want to know what France really thinks about it, all you have 8 00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:38,760 to do is add an app to that acronym. 9 00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:42,269 Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and you're listening to the Lucas 10 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,670 Skrobot show where we uncover. 11 00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:51,920 Pursue truth and own the future episode 258 coming to you late in 12 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,730 the evening of September 19th, 2021 from the heart of the middle east. 13 00:00:59,270 --> 00:01:05,180 And as I said, things are continuing to heat up in the Indo-Pacific 14 00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:07,220 region and we can witness. 15 00:01:08,445 --> 00:01:12,375 Directly when we look at the steps that Japan is beginning to take 16 00:01:12,585 --> 00:01:17,715 to defend itself against not only China, but North Korea, but who 17 00:01:17,715 --> 00:01:19,425 are they more concerned about? 18 00:01:19,725 --> 00:01:22,785 They're more concerned about China as. 19 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:25,310 The rest of the world. 20 00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:30,830 We talked about this in the previous episode, how America has begun to 21 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,380 with draw from the middle east. 22 00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:35,720 Now you might be saying both course they are. 23 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,140 I mean, I've been reading the news and following your podcast for the last month. 24 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:39,740 Yeah. 25 00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:44,570 We all know that they withdrew out of Afghanistan, but their eyes have shifted. 26 00:01:44,570 --> 00:01:46,789 I know that president Joe Biden kept on. 27 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,270 Speeches, when he's talking about, we need to focus elsewhere. 28 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:55,140 He kept on talking about Al Shabaab and in north Africa and all these other 29 00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:59,460 terrorist organizations, but there's also the increasing threat of China. 30 00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:03,450 And that seems to be where their eyes are focusing. 31 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,870 As America even began to with draw a missile batteries, defense systems 32 00:02:10,259 --> 00:02:16,290 from Saudi Arabia, one of America's closest allies in the middle east. 33 00:02:18,035 --> 00:02:22,715 In a time where Iran is growing in power in a time where Iran is still 34 00:02:22,715 --> 00:02:27,095 in a proxy war with Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia is the power balance 35 00:02:27,365 --> 00:02:30,605 of the holding and stability. 36 00:02:31,325 --> 00:02:36,394 if that's a word stabilizing the region right now in the middle east, but 37 00:02:36,394 --> 00:02:37,625 they've pulled out those batteries. 38 00:02:37,625 --> 00:02:40,505 There was, as we talked about in the previous episode, because they're 39 00:02:40,505 --> 00:02:42,275 beginning to focus elsewhere. 40 00:02:42,275 --> 00:02:43,535 And where is that elsewhere? 41 00:02:43,535 --> 00:02:43,715 That. 42 00:02:44,670 --> 00:02:46,140 Is the south Pacific. 43 00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:53,370 The elsewhere is China, China, China, China, as our dear beloved 44 00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:55,860 president, Donald Trump belated. 45 00:02:56,190 --> 00:02:59,790 How would you say who has been in the past former president? 46 00:02:59,850 --> 00:03:00,570 Donald Trump. 47 00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:05,280 We used to say China, China, China, China, China. 48 00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:06,420 I have to have my chain. 49 00:03:08,490 --> 00:03:11,430 Oh, We miss him St. 50 00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:11,850 China. 51 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,890 Well, here is a clip from. 52 00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:21,899 Talking just about China, China, China, but it starts with, uh, North Korea. 53 00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:26,640 So beware for years, north Korean missiles have posed a serious 54 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,710 threat to Japan's national security 55 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,380 threat housing. 56 00:03:35,265 --> 00:03:39,135 Recently North Korea has test fired several missiles, including long range, 57 00:03:39,165 --> 00:03:44,475 cruise missiles, capable of striking, almost any potential target in Japan and 58 00:03:44,475 --> 00:03:48,855 even more concerning ballistic missiles that on Wednesday bell into the waters 59 00:03:48,855 --> 00:03:50,895 between Japan and the Korean peninsula. 60 00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:52,845 Well, Japan's defense. 61 00:03:53,115 --> 00:03:56,055 Now this, of course, North Korea is a big deal. 62 00:03:56,055 --> 00:04:00,855 They've been, they've been pushing and, and definitely beating the war 63 00:04:00,855 --> 00:04:04,125 drums for decades now, Northern. 64 00:04:06,054 --> 00:04:07,494 Relies heavily on China. 65 00:04:07,855 --> 00:04:11,304 China is one of the biggest aids to North Korea is North Korea is 66 00:04:11,304 --> 00:04:13,975 just in complete shambles there. 67 00:04:15,265 --> 00:04:17,245 I don't know if you could say they have an economy. 68 00:04:17,305 --> 00:04:18,474 They're just totally. 69 00:04:19,545 --> 00:04:22,815 No China wants to keep North Korea wrangled in. 70 00:04:22,815 --> 00:04:28,125 So it seems that China is a little bit of a counterpoint to North 71 00:04:28,125 --> 00:04:32,475 Korea because China doesn't want to get involved and tied into a 72 00:04:32,475 --> 00:04:34,695 conflict involving North Korea. 73 00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:38,425 They are looking to establish their world dominance. 74 00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:43,665 They're looking to establish global dominance primarily first and fourth. 75 00:04:44,315 --> 00:04:46,805 Drew economics through trade. 76 00:04:46,805 --> 00:04:49,175 And that is what they're doing across the globe. 77 00:04:49,415 --> 00:04:53,885 They have opened up fully admitted and brought in Iran 78 00:04:53,885 --> 00:04:56,795 as a full member of the S C O. 79 00:04:56,975 --> 00:05:01,445 They have invited 33 Latin American countries to be part of the Eurasia 80 00:05:01,715 --> 00:05:04,445 African Americans, new silk road. 81 00:05:04,865 --> 00:05:09,995 China is Axe has been and is continuing to expand, but it seems. 82 00:05:11,055 --> 00:05:16,605 There were other threats on the horizon that maybe aren't so public that is 83 00:05:16,605 --> 00:05:22,335 really catching the attention of the west of America, of Australia, of the UK. 84 00:05:22,575 --> 00:05:31,005 Enough for them to cut out France from a deal of a billion dollars of, of defense 85 00:05:31,005 --> 00:05:35,205 contracts with Australia to counter China. 86 00:05:35,415 --> 00:05:37,395 Now, here is a clip. 87 00:05:37,395 --> 00:05:37,775 I see. 88 00:05:38,785 --> 00:05:43,395 Uh, the clip that we've been playing, the clip goes on where the defense 89 00:05:43,395 --> 00:05:48,615 minister of Japan is talking about why they're concerned in how China 90 00:05:48,645 --> 00:05:51,375 is beginning to provoke Japan. 91 00:05:51,555 --> 00:05:55,095 That's minister Nobuo Kishi says the ongoing hostility from 92 00:05:55,095 --> 00:05:57,045 North Korea is a big challenge. 93 00:05:57,225 --> 00:06:02,685 He says it isn't Japan's biggest security concern as Japan's administered offense. 94 00:06:03,315 --> 00:06:04,695 What threat keeps you up at? 95 00:06:07,635 --> 00:06:08,445 It's an all luck. 96 00:06:08,925 --> 00:06:10,844 China has been regularly challenging. 97 00:06:10,844 --> 00:06:12,615 Japan's territorial integrity. 98 00:06:13,065 --> 00:06:17,025 These actions are making it a fait accompli in response to such moves. 99 00:06:17,055 --> 00:06:20,565 We have to demonstrate our will to protect the lives of Japanese citizens, 100 00:06:20,745 --> 00:06:22,844 as well as their livelihoods and our. 101 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,890 The inheritance and they go on in this clip with CNN to talk about a small 102 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,910 island chain near Taiwan, Taiwan, which has also been in the news and 103 00:06:32,910 --> 00:06:38,190 a question that people have been raising will America abandoned Taiwan 104 00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:45,120 to America, didn't fully abandoned, but really didn't do much when during 105 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,160 the Hong Kong protests as Hong Kong. 106 00:06:47,985 --> 00:06:49,425 Proudly w was waving. 107 00:06:49,425 --> 00:06:53,595 The American flag did out there crying for Liberty and freedom. 108 00:06:54,285 --> 00:07:01,455 Uh, will America abandoned Taiwan as America is pulled out of Afghanistan. 109 00:07:01,455 --> 00:07:06,585 And it seems to be abandoning and burning bridges, right. 110 00:07:06,645 --> 00:07:07,155 And left. 111 00:07:07,185 --> 00:07:12,555 Well, one of the bridges that America has seemingly recently 112 00:07:12,825 --> 00:07:14,955 burned is with France America. 113 00:07:14,985 --> 00:07:15,405 One of them. 114 00:07:16,380 --> 00:07:22,080 Oldest allies over a hundred years, America and France have been strong 115 00:07:22,140 --> 00:07:28,560 allies, but in this August deal, this Australia and UK U S deal, they 116 00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:31,430 America pushed for Australia to. 117 00:07:32,905 --> 00:07:39,325 France out of eight 90 billion, Australian dollar 65 billion U S dollar contract 118 00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:44,155 where France was supposed to be building nuclear, not nuclear, but submarines 119 00:07:44,155 --> 00:07:49,705 advanced submarines for Australia, not nuclear power submarines, which is 120 00:07:49,705 --> 00:07:52,164 what they wanted and gods from the UK. 121 00:07:52,375 --> 00:07:57,294 And the U S here is a little press conference, uh, starting off, kicking 122 00:07:57,294 --> 00:07:59,875 off with prime minister, Boris Johnson. 123 00:08:00,945 --> 00:08:05,715 Dropped just after we recorded the previous episode, we talked 124 00:08:05,715 --> 00:08:09,344 about this last episode and we said, we touched on it. 125 00:08:09,344 --> 00:08:13,905 And so here is the actual presser, uh, starting with 126 00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:15,344 prime minister, Boris Johnson. 127 00:08:15,765 --> 00:08:21,135 I'm delighted to join president Biden and, uh, prime minister Morrison 128 00:08:21,465 --> 00:08:26,955 two nights that the United Kingdom Australia and the United States are 129 00:08:26,955 --> 00:08:29,414 creating a new trilateral defense. 130 00:08:30,645 --> 00:08:36,375 None as orcas with the aim of working hand in glove to preserve security 131 00:08:36,375 --> 00:08:40,424 and stability in the Indo Pacific because of China, we're opening 132 00:08:40,424 --> 00:08:43,304 a new chapter in our friendship. 133 00:08:43,965 --> 00:08:47,955 And the first task of this partnership will be to help Australia acquire a 134 00:08:47,955 --> 00:08:50,715 fleet of nuclear powered submarines. 135 00:08:50,745 --> 00:08:53,145 Emphasizing of course that the submarines in. 136 00:08:53,985 --> 00:08:58,305 We'll be powered by nuclear reactors, not armed with new. 137 00:08:58,755 --> 00:09:00,315 You got to make that point clear. 138 00:09:00,375 --> 00:09:03,675 You definitely don't want people to think that Australia might have a nuke. 139 00:09:03,885 --> 00:09:07,275 We've seen what they're doing in new south Wales and Victoria 140 00:09:07,515 --> 00:09:09,285 with the insane lockdowns. 141 00:09:09,585 --> 00:09:14,925 Um, maybe it's wise that prime minister, Boris Johnson mentioned that, but a 142 00:09:14,925 --> 00:09:17,715 nuclear submarine is an amazing feat. 143 00:09:17,715 --> 00:09:22,605 Having a nuclear reactor, powering, assembling, enabling it to stay under. 144 00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:30,135 Forever, uh, quite, uh, uh, technology, technological, feat, and advancement 145 00:09:30,135 --> 00:09:32,775 that is going to be given to Australia. 146 00:09:32,805 --> 00:09:38,145 But as you said, the first step, the first step was really to cut France out of, 147 00:09:38,145 --> 00:09:44,895 as I said, eight $90 billion Australian deal, which comes out to 65.7 billion 148 00:09:44,925 --> 00:09:49,605 U S dollars in France is not happy. 149 00:09:49,875 --> 00:09:51,615 They're very, so much. 150 00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:59,370 The foreign minister said that he felt quote stabbed in the back unquote over the 151 00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:04,530 unacceptable deal that will hurt French business and shut the French military 152 00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:10,200 out of a key initiative that the west is building in order to defend against China. 153 00:10:10,830 --> 00:10:15,630 He says, quote, this unilateral brutal unforeseeable decision 154 00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:17,700 really looks like what Mr. 155 00:10:18,330 --> 00:10:19,770 Trump was generally doing. 156 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:20,760 Of course. 157 00:10:23,370 --> 00:10:26,849 Of course, this is the, the classic. 158 00:10:27,599 --> 00:10:31,530 Everyone thought that this was how B, how Trump would pull out of Afghanistan. 159 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:32,189 There would be a mess. 160 00:10:32,189 --> 00:10:36,959 So this is how Trump would just stab their partners and their allies in the back. 161 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,750 When in reality, Trump's foreign policy was excellent. 162 00:10:43,170 --> 00:10:43,410 Trump. 163 00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:50,910 Even though he had some, he had faults in not defending and, and standing by Saudi 164 00:10:50,910 --> 00:10:55,920 assets or Saudi, uh, alliances because of said, well, these are, you know, 165 00:10:55,980 --> 00:10:58,070 Saudi's interests, not America's interest. 166 00:10:58,070 --> 00:10:58,650 As we covered. 167 00:10:58,650 --> 00:11:02,910 In the previous episode, there are faults that he has when it comes to his foreign 168 00:11:02,910 --> 00:11:07,860 policy, but he did a, a much better. 169 00:11:08,745 --> 00:11:13,665 At defending and standing with allies versus what we're seeing 170 00:11:13,665 --> 00:11:15,795 right now with president Joe Biden. 171 00:11:16,305 --> 00:11:22,724 Now this, this has a huge impact on the way the rest of the world will move 172 00:11:22,724 --> 00:11:29,385 because if the reputation of America is so tarnished, people will begin to move 173 00:11:29,505 --> 00:11:35,505 towards China to face towards China, do set up deals with them to build. 174 00:11:36,420 --> 00:11:37,949 Their own security. 175 00:11:37,949 --> 00:11:40,500 People are going to be looking to other places. 176 00:11:40,530 --> 00:11:42,180 It is already happening. 177 00:11:42,750 --> 00:11:46,740 It is already happening well, France is not happy. 178 00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:50,520 They even pulled two of their ambassadors, the ambassador to the U 179 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,250 S and the ambassador from Australia. 180 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,380 We need to at least have some sort of demonstration, some sort 181 00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:02,490 of theatrical show to demonstrate how displeased we are now. 182 00:12:02,490 --> 00:12:08,190 They didn't pull their ambassador from the UK because they said that well, the UK is 183 00:12:08,190 --> 00:12:13,820 just trying to get a gerrymander, a great position, and they're always opportunists. 184 00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:18,030 So we don't even need to bother with pulling someone from the UK because this 185 00:12:18,030 --> 00:12:21,420 is how they've always been, but they want to send the message loud and clear. 186 00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:22,140 Some people think. 187 00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:29,189 The United States, we'll throw them some, some compromises, whether it's, uh, deals, 188 00:12:29,370 --> 00:12:33,600 uh, other contracts, no one quite knows, but they think it's going to be pretty 189 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,530 short-lived before Frances or Paris. 190 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:43,015 France is back on the, uh, Band wagon. 191 00:12:43,314 --> 00:12:48,595 Uh, France also had some pretty harsh things to say about Australia. 192 00:12:48,805 --> 00:12:53,155 That Australia is still just the runner dog for America. 193 00:12:54,235 --> 00:12:56,635 Now, also in this presser. 194 00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:03,930 Um, I mean, I guess it's not shocking, a pretty standard moment for president 195 00:13:03,930 --> 00:13:09,270 Biden and not bringing this up to make fun or mock our president. 196 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,580 My president, maybe not your president. 197 00:13:13,650 --> 00:13:17,600 I'm not saying this to mock it, but it, this is the leader of the. 198 00:13:18,830 --> 00:13:20,460 The elected leader of a nation. 199 00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:25,620 It's not a king or a Monarch where as they grow older, there's 200 00:13:25,620 --> 00:13:27,270 other people who are put in place. 201 00:13:27,510 --> 00:13:29,220 And this is just the way things go. 202 00:13:29,220 --> 00:13:35,940 This person was elected as the primary leader of the most powerful, if not, 203 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,920 you know, maybe that's waning, but the most powerful nation in the world 204 00:13:42,210 --> 00:13:46,350 forgetting the name of his closest ally. 205 00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:49,350 Because they're striking this deal together. 206 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,300 One of their closest allies, prime minister Morrison for getting 207 00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:59,700 his name in a press conference where there's two names, two 208 00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:01,170 names that you need to remember. 209 00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:04,440 Two names, a 20 minute press conference. 210 00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:06,570 Hey, here's the clip. 211 00:14:10,915 --> 00:14:13,375 And I want to thank, uh, that fell down under. 212 00:14:14,365 --> 00:14:15,685 Thank you very much, Val. 213 00:14:15,895 --> 00:14:17,185 Appreciate just the prime minister. 214 00:14:18,055 --> 00:14:20,185 I want to fake that fellow. 215 00:14:21,505 --> 00:14:25,645 I want to think that fellow down under thank you for thanks, pal. 216 00:14:26,485 --> 00:14:35,694 I mean, this is, this is the person leading America in the. 217 00:14:38,755 --> 00:14:43,435 So I hope someone steps in and does something because this is, 218 00:14:43,525 --> 00:14:45,025 this is, I don't find this funny. 219 00:14:45,265 --> 00:14:46,105 I'm not mocking. 220 00:14:46,255 --> 00:14:48,445 I don't think this is so hilarious. 221 00:14:48,775 --> 00:14:50,125 This is actually quite scary. 222 00:14:50,395 --> 00:14:56,005 It's scary to think that the person in charge can't remember someone's 223 00:14:56,005 --> 00:14:57,265 name now there's many times. 224 00:14:57,505 --> 00:15:01,735 I can't remember someone's name there's many times that I forget names. 225 00:15:02,545 --> 00:15:03,415 I have moments. 226 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:11,810 The lips of my mind, where I can't remember the right word, we all do, but 227 00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:15,710 the expectation would be when you're going into any meeting and you're 228 00:15:15,710 --> 00:15:21,500 presenting in front of millions of people worldwide with prime ministers 229 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:26,690 of two of the world's superpowers, as you announced a pretty groundbreaking 230 00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:32,400 deal that you would make sure you. 231 00:15:33,330 --> 00:15:38,310 The name of the two people that you're speaking to, that that should be 232 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,130 somewhat of a given, well, France, as I said, really not really not happy. 233 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,590 The French embassy, us embassy, uh, the French embassy in the United States 234 00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:57,060 said the American choice to exclude a Euro, ally and partner such as France. 235 00:15:57,930 --> 00:16:01,470 From a structuring partnership with Australia at a time when we are 236 00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:05,939 facing unprecedented challenges in the Indo-Pacific region shows 237 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,090 a lack of coherence that France can only note and regrets. 238 00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:15,030 France is really not happy in this. 239 00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:19,200 It's not, this is not the way to treat allies. 240 00:16:19,290 --> 00:16:24,630 This is not the way to treat friends, but I guess it is. 241 00:16:24,630 --> 00:16:25,830 And it's not just France. 242 00:16:26,010 --> 00:16:26,819 That is feeling. 243 00:16:27,855 --> 00:16:32,985 Pakistan is also quite upset and fueling, uh, feeling the 244 00:16:32,985 --> 00:16:38,685 sting of being the scapegoat for America's failures in Afghanistan. 245 00:16:40,425 --> 00:16:43,515 I do blame Pakistan for this debacle. 246 00:16:43,965 --> 00:16:48,615 This is the prime minister, Imran Khan in Afghanistan. 247 00:16:49,335 --> 00:16:53,265 It is the most painful thing for us to listen to bugger. 248 00:16:53,275 --> 00:16:54,525 Stan is the country that. 249 00:16:55,530 --> 00:17:01,199 The greatest number of sacrifices too, for the American war in Austria, Pakistan 250 00:17:01,350 --> 00:17:07,710 was asked to join this, uh, this, uh, invasion of Afghanistan by the medical 251 00:17:07,710 --> 00:17:09,990 is become part of this coalition. 252 00:17:10,889 --> 00:17:15,300 When Pakistan had nothing to do with nine 11, there was no Pakistan involved in it. 253 00:17:15,629 --> 00:17:17,129 Al-Qaeda was in Afghanistan. 254 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,829 There were no militant Taliban in Pakistan. 255 00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:21,450 We had no reason to enter that. 256 00:17:22,335 --> 00:17:27,494 But unfortunately our military dictator at the time to get Acceptibility from 257 00:17:27,494 --> 00:17:29,235 the Americans, he took us into this war. 258 00:17:30,405 --> 00:17:36,555 Now, of course, there are a lot of criticisms and a lot of them rightful 259 00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:43,745 criticisms against Pakistan for funding, the Taliban for, uh, for 260 00:17:43,995 --> 00:17:48,525 housing then before to really create a Petri dish, to allow them to grow. 261 00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:50,265 And there's many people who are. 262 00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:55,980 That Pakistan helped fuel this Pakistan helped fight against 263 00:17:55,980 --> 00:17:59,280 the national resistance fronts in the pens, your province. 264 00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:04,470 So there's a lot of arguments of people saying pack Pakistan's a little bit 265 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:11,490 complicit in what the Taliban have done and are currently doing in the nation. 266 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,400 But I have to say the prime minister has. 267 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,430 Pakistan right now is becoming the scapegoat of America. 268 00:18:20,490 --> 00:18:26,820 And again, an American ally, a NATO ally that fought alongside of us in pockets 269 00:18:26,930 --> 00:18:33,600 in Afghanistan, giving I believe 80,000 lives, not to mention as he goes on 270 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,800 to say in this clip, which we were not going to play, but the number of people 271 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,300 who lost limbs and the number of attacks that they faced in Pakistan because of. 272 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:49,110 Citing and because of their engagement in this war that lasted the last 20 years 273 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:55,170 and other people are being considered and being thanked and being applauded. 274 00:18:55,230 --> 00:18:59,430 But now here's Pakistan, another ally being escape goat. 275 00:19:01,230 --> 00:19:10,290 This is just not a great look for foreign policy in America and across the world. 276 00:19:10,290 --> 00:19:10,770 Speaking. 277 00:19:11,685 --> 00:19:13,965 Uh, great look and have pretty bad luck. 278 00:19:13,985 --> 00:19:15,525 We talked about this again. 279 00:19:15,585 --> 00:19:21,975 Two episodes go episode 2 56, about how the New York times broke a story 280 00:19:22,545 --> 00:19:29,355 of how that the last drone strike in Afghanistan that supposedly killed 281 00:19:29,355 --> 00:19:35,085 an ISIS member that was about to bomb the airport again, that we covered. 282 00:19:35,465 --> 00:19:37,185 How that was completely not true. 283 00:19:37,215 --> 00:19:39,915 Well, here is the us government fighting. 284 00:19:40,845 --> 00:19:47,985 Uh, confirming everything that the New York times said and admitting that they 285 00:19:48,045 --> 00:19:50,895 killed a completely innocent family. 286 00:19:51,165 --> 00:19:57,495 Here is general McKinsey taking responsibility for this 287 00:19:58,245 --> 00:20:01,545 peripheric horrific accident. 288 00:20:01,725 --> 00:20:06,225 Can you even say accident war crime, this horrific practice. 289 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,770 We're this family, young kids to two-year-old kids. 290 00:20:10,890 --> 00:20:15,990 Infants seven year olds, four year olds lost their life in this 291 00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:20,880 needless attack, drone strike having thoroughly reviewed the findings of 292 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,690 the investigation and the supporting analysis by inter-agency partners. 293 00:20:25,050 --> 00:20:29,310 I am now convinced that as many as 10 civilians, including up to seven 294 00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:31,410 children were tragically killed in that. 295 00:20:32,865 --> 00:20:37,125 Moreover, we now assess that it is unlikely that the vehicle and those 296 00:20:37,125 --> 00:20:41,595 who died or associated with ISIS K or we're a direct threat to the U S forces. 297 00:20:42,615 --> 00:20:45,764 I offer my profound condolences to the family and friends 298 00:20:46,004 --> 00:20:47,024 of those who were killed. 299 00:20:47,865 --> 00:20:51,675 This strike was taken in the earnest belief that it would prevent an 300 00:20:51,705 --> 00:20:55,875 imminent threat to our forces and the evacuees at the airport, but it 301 00:20:55,875 --> 00:21:00,585 was a mistake and I offer my sincere apology as the combatant command. 302 00:21:01,350 --> 00:21:05,040 I am fully responsible for this strike in his tragic outcome. 303 00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:13,400 Uh, the heartbreaking thing is that a sincere apology. 304 00:21:13,460 --> 00:21:17,870 It doesn't, it doesn't fix the problem. 305 00:21:17,870 --> 00:21:19,310 It doesn't solve the problem. 306 00:21:19,940 --> 00:21:24,139 One article, I was reading that the family says no one's reached out to them. 307 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,220 No, one's talked to them. 308 00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:26,870 No, one's apologized. 309 00:21:28,524 --> 00:21:30,774 Now will that change in the coming days? 310 00:21:30,835 --> 00:21:31,315 I don't know. 311 00:21:32,605 --> 00:21:36,175 I certainly hope so, but what, what could be said, what could be done 312 00:21:36,175 --> 00:21:38,815 when you've lost multiple children? 313 00:21:41,014 --> 00:21:44,615 We've lost brothers, young kids. 314 00:21:45,305 --> 00:21:45,875 Uh, there's. 315 00:21:45,935 --> 00:21:52,475 There's no way to, to bring, to bring these innocent lives back. 316 00:21:53,345 --> 00:21:55,175 Not only innocent lives, but innocent lives. 317 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:02,530 Working, not that, I mean, it does matter, but not that it matters, but 318 00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:08,080 working in the NGO, serving their people, getting food to people who 319 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,580 were hungry, uh, just unthinkable. 320 00:22:12,610 --> 00:22:20,680 And so, um, I'm glad that America is at least in video in speech owning this 321 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,150 and saying, yeah, we made a mistake. 322 00:22:23,115 --> 00:22:24,645 But so far, no one's resigned. 323 00:22:25,095 --> 00:22:29,745 And the rest of the press conference, they went on to explain which I do 324 00:22:29,745 --> 00:22:33,885 understand why, why they would be doing this and went on to explain, 325 00:22:33,885 --> 00:22:35,265 this is the intelligence that we had. 326 00:22:35,655 --> 00:22:40,095 This is the situation that was in, this is what happened just days before with the 327 00:22:40,095 --> 00:22:42,135 bombing that killed 13 service members. 328 00:22:42,135 --> 00:22:46,245 And over a hundred, uh, was 170, 329 00:22:49,635 --> 00:22:51,285 um, civilians. 330 00:22:52,335 --> 00:22:58,125 Some who, who died by gunfire after the bombing, when soldiers thought 331 00:22:58,125 --> 00:23:02,955 that there could be possibly more suicide bombers in the group, horrible. 332 00:23:04,735 --> 00:23:08,574 This was the situation that this, this drone strike took place in. 333 00:23:09,324 --> 00:23:13,435 So they went on to explain that the Intel that they had. 334 00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:19,245 Went on to take this strike that turned out to be incredibly broad, 335 00:23:19,665 --> 00:23:24,254 just, just completely a hundred percent off base in a crawl. 336 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,820 Transitioning a little bit too. 337 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,870 It's still sticking on some of these, these three main nations, France, 338 00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:39,730 which has been talking about America. 339 00:23:39,910 --> 00:23:44,410 Of course, and Australia, all three of them share something in common. 340 00:23:44,410 --> 00:23:50,740 They are beginning to push a vaccine, mandates vaccine passports and mandating 341 00:23:50,740 --> 00:23:53,500 it for government workers and employees. 342 00:23:53,890 --> 00:23:55,480 Well across all things. 343 00:23:56,445 --> 00:24:04,065 Uh, they witnessed over this last week and weekend, just incredibly crowded, 344 00:24:04,095 --> 00:24:10,995 just protests, filling the streets in New York, in Australia and in France 345 00:24:10,995 --> 00:24:13,635 here is a, a couple of little clips from. 346 00:24:17,175 --> 00:24:20,775 This is from New York people shouting. 347 00:24:21,915 --> 00:24:26,265 They have waged war on our biology and we're waging war. 348 00:24:27,705 --> 00:24:29,085 Oh my gosh. 349 00:24:30,675 --> 00:24:31,275 Thank goodness. 350 00:24:31,815 --> 00:24:33,915 This guy is just so intense here. 351 00:24:33,945 --> 00:24:40,095 Here's a clip from Australia, just hundreds, hundreds of people. 352 00:24:41,385 --> 00:24:46,095 Against a line of police officers and the people just March forward 353 00:24:46,545 --> 00:24:50,535 and just, just bum rush all the cops. 354 00:24:50,565 --> 00:24:56,865 It's just an absolute man, absolute chaos that is breaking out across the world 355 00:24:57,615 --> 00:25:02,505 when it comes to these, these lockdowns, when it comes to these government matters. 356 00:25:03,465 --> 00:25:07,935 And when it comes to people's responses saying no, w w we're not going to carry 357 00:25:08,145 --> 00:25:11,985 our papers around with us and beep in everywhere we go, the same thing in 358 00:25:11,985 --> 00:25:17,895 France, a little bit, much more peaceful of a picture with thousands of people 359 00:25:17,925 --> 00:25:22,155 crowding the streets slowly marching through the streets of France saying 360 00:25:22,185 --> 00:25:28,125 we will not comply to your government mandate and many people in America. 361 00:25:29,745 --> 00:25:32,055 Are saying that they will not comply. 362 00:25:32,085 --> 00:25:34,754 And that is a violation of speech. 363 00:25:35,145 --> 00:25:38,085 There's been a lot of comparisons that have been going around. 364 00:25:38,415 --> 00:25:47,625 How, how in Germany during Hitler's rise to power, there 365 00:25:47,625 --> 00:25:51,045 was again the pandemic of 1918. 366 00:25:51,285 --> 00:25:54,345 And we've discussed this on the show we'd discussed, uh, with 367 00:25:54,345 --> 00:25:55,905 some clips from Jordan Peterson. 368 00:25:58,170 --> 00:26:04,530 How pandemics and how health crisises tend to lead people towards more 369 00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:09,630 conservatism in their population, in, in their groups, because they are 370 00:26:09,690 --> 00:26:14,730 afraid they're staying into groups that people that they know and they're, 371 00:26:15,030 --> 00:26:20,820 they're pushing against anything that could potentially be a danger to them. 372 00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:23,220 Anything that's new that is coming in. 373 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,190 And so what they, what they saw in. 374 00:26:26,625 --> 00:26:33,645 Was a big cleaning, a public health move to rid the city of rats and 375 00:26:33,645 --> 00:26:39,885 then to cleanse the factories and the employees of TB people had to carry 376 00:26:39,885 --> 00:26:42,375 their health papers around with them. 377 00:26:43,185 --> 00:26:47,625 And then that moved on to more genocidal tendencies where the same 378 00:26:47,625 --> 00:26:52,305 language that was being used against viruses or against rats calling them. 379 00:26:52,335 --> 00:26:52,905 Fermin's. 380 00:26:53,835 --> 00:26:57,915 Was begun to be used against the Jews calling the Jews vermins. 381 00:26:57,915 --> 00:27:04,274 And then that started the, uh, the attempt to extinct all the Jews and 382 00:27:04,304 --> 00:27:09,225 the gas chambers, and the same gas that they use to purify these factories. 383 00:27:09,945 --> 00:27:18,014 They used in the gas chambers to kill and in their mind purify a jury. 384 00:27:18,810 --> 00:27:23,460 Of the Jewish people to create a pure area and race. 385 00:27:23,460 --> 00:27:30,300 This is what people are afraid of when these, these lockdowns are happening. 386 00:27:30,870 --> 00:27:34,940 When the vaccine passports are being pushed on people, they are 387 00:27:34,950 --> 00:27:37,860 afraid of an overstep of power. 388 00:27:39,710 --> 00:27:41,270 They're afraid of an overstep. 389 00:27:45,570 --> 00:27:49,709 In a post-truth society where we have exchanged the truth for lies in 390 00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:54,330 reason for postmodern irrationality, the absurd finally make sense. 391 00:27:54,330 --> 00:27:55,949 Today's yeah, that makes sense. 392 00:27:55,949 --> 00:28:00,449 Segment is we're talking about the Pope and abortion a little bit more 393 00:28:00,810 --> 00:28:06,540 as a, I've been embroiled in some conversations on the gram about this. 394 00:28:07,679 --> 00:28:08,939 And the took Pope said something. 395 00:28:10,705 --> 00:28:11,274 Two things. 396 00:28:11,274 --> 00:28:14,245 He said something that I completely a hundred percent agree with and 397 00:28:14,665 --> 00:28:20,335 I applaud and I love and another thing, which it can cause people to 398 00:28:20,335 --> 00:28:22,345 scratch their head and get confusing. 399 00:28:22,465 --> 00:28:25,014 And we'll, we'll play this out. 400 00:28:25,014 --> 00:28:28,195 It's not actually a clip that we're going to be able to play for you, but 401 00:28:28,195 --> 00:28:30,835 I'm going to read an article on the 15th. 402 00:28:30,865 --> 00:28:35,725 This is from Reuters on the 15th Pope Pope Francis said on 403 00:28:35,725 --> 00:28:38,514 Wednesday, that abortion is. 404 00:28:40,545 --> 00:28:46,545 Even soon after conception, but keep your to criticize some of the U S Catholic 405 00:28:46,605 --> 00:28:51,705 bishops for the dealing for the way that they deal with the U S president Joe 406 00:28:51,705 --> 00:28:58,185 Biden and his pro-choice position in a political rather than a pastoral way. 407 00:28:59,235 --> 00:29:01,065 So the two points that we're going to cover. 408 00:29:02,010 --> 00:29:06,810 Abortion is murder as the Pope says, and we're going to break down why he's 409 00:29:06,810 --> 00:29:08,760 saying that what he means by that. 410 00:29:09,179 --> 00:29:15,210 And then the second thing is at what point does our personal beliefs or personal 411 00:29:15,210 --> 00:29:18,480 views, when does that come to political? 412 00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:22,340 When does that come of just a week? 413 00:29:22,379 --> 00:29:23,929 You've gotten too far off. 414 00:29:24,110 --> 00:29:25,669 They've just become so political. 415 00:29:25,669 --> 00:29:27,889 They're just, everything is all political. 416 00:29:28,795 --> 00:29:31,365 We're going to be talking about that political spirit. 417 00:29:31,515 --> 00:29:34,965 If you will, if you, if you're not from a strong Christian 418 00:29:34,965 --> 00:29:39,735 background and Christian dumb, they frequently talk about two different. 419 00:29:41,695 --> 00:29:46,765 Spirits are two different ways a person could act and fall into the ditch. 420 00:29:46,765 --> 00:29:47,755 On the side of the roads. 421 00:29:47,755 --> 00:29:52,405 One would be a religious spirit or becoming overtly religious and re 422 00:29:52,615 --> 00:29:55,015 religiosity or a political spirit. 423 00:29:55,015 --> 00:29:59,485 And we're going to talk about both of those in the latter, half of the segment. 424 00:29:59,485 --> 00:30:03,025 So stay tuned for that, but this is what the Pope said. 425 00:30:03,025 --> 00:30:04,825 He said, abortion is murder. 426 00:30:05,185 --> 00:30:07,495 Those who carry out abortions. 427 00:30:08,865 --> 00:30:14,205 At the third week of conception, often even before the mother is aware 428 00:30:14,205 --> 00:30:19,095 of being pregnant, all the organs are already starting to develop. 429 00:30:19,605 --> 00:30:26,595 It is a human life period and this human life has to be respected. 430 00:30:26,985 --> 00:30:33,045 It is very clear scientifically, and I would add biologically, 431 00:30:33,555 --> 00:30:34,755 it is a human life. 432 00:30:35,895 --> 00:30:36,735 At conception. 433 00:30:36,824 --> 00:30:37,605 It is a human life. 434 00:30:37,605 --> 00:30:46,034 When you look across the span of a baby in its mother's womb, there is no one place 435 00:30:46,034 --> 00:30:48,254 that you can point to say right there. 436 00:30:48,435 --> 00:30:49,125 Life began. 437 00:30:49,304 --> 00:30:53,985 There's nothing special that happens between between 12 weeks and 13 weeks. 438 00:30:54,195 --> 00:30:58,274 There's nothing special that happens between 39 and a half weeks. 439 00:30:58,455 --> 00:31:02,145 And when the baby comes out, the birthing canal, there's nothing special that 440 00:31:02,145 --> 00:31:04,485 happens in the life of that child. 441 00:31:05,715 --> 00:31:12,435 Outside of conception at the moment of conception, it is a unique human 442 00:31:12,435 --> 00:31:19,815 being with a hundred percent unique DNA to itself is a person and that 443 00:31:19,815 --> 00:31:22,665 person's life should be defended. 444 00:31:22,665 --> 00:31:27,044 Now that the arguments that have been thrown my way, most of them are just 445 00:31:27,044 --> 00:31:29,895 trying to detract and distract from. 446 00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:37,140 The real circumstances that 95% of pregnancies that end up in abortion in 447 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:41,370 America, 95% are because of inconvenience. 448 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,760 People will throw out the arguments of, of rape and incidence, which is 449 00:31:44,850 --> 00:31:51,990 0.5% less than 1% come from abortions happen because of rape and incense. 450 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,230 And then the other thing that people frequently throw out is. 451 00:31:56,205 --> 00:32:00,495 It's excuses or exemptions of saying, well, medical needs. 452 00:32:00,855 --> 00:32:03,135 What if the mom and the baby are both going to die? 453 00:32:03,165 --> 00:32:04,515 Who, who are you going to save? 454 00:32:05,985 --> 00:32:10,785 And in the case of the Texas law, if you're not familiar with the Texas law, 455 00:32:10,815 --> 00:32:15,075 Texas just passed a law saying that once the heart starts beating, once 456 00:32:15,075 --> 00:32:20,355 you can hear a heartbeat of a baby in the wound, which is around six weeks, 457 00:32:22,105 --> 00:32:27,505 Then it is illegal to kill that baby, but there's a loophole, a big loophole, 458 00:32:27,505 --> 00:32:32,125 which is if there is some sort of medical reason that they would need to 459 00:32:32,185 --> 00:32:36,595 save the mother's life, then they're able to still perform an abortion. 460 00:32:36,775 --> 00:32:41,455 So all the arguments that are being thrown my way about this, it just, 461 00:32:41,515 --> 00:32:45,475 they're just, they're irrelevant arguments they're trying to do. 462 00:32:45,985 --> 00:32:47,935 They're trying to make a fringe case. 463 00:32:48,235 --> 00:32:48,385 The. 464 00:32:49,305 --> 00:32:54,945 They're trying to argue for 95% of people aborting their, their children 465 00:32:55,755 --> 00:32:58,185 because of inconvenience or wrong timing. 466 00:32:59,045 --> 00:33:04,185 They're trying to justify that by a small fringe of 0.5% when it 467 00:33:04,185 --> 00:33:08,745 comes to rape and incense, incest, excuse me, and medical situation. 468 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,230 And in both, at least in this Texas law, both are being provided for 469 00:33:13,230 --> 00:33:18,120 whether I think that abortions should, should still be allowed or not. 470 00:33:18,420 --> 00:33:22,620 In the specific case that we're talking about, the Texas case, those 471 00:33:22,620 --> 00:33:26,820 are all being provided for right now with the current, with the current. 472 00:33:29,655 --> 00:33:31,875 Another argument that had been made as well. 473 00:33:32,175 --> 00:33:33,195 It would be horrible. 474 00:33:33,195 --> 00:33:36,705 And this is what would be said on, uh, we'll be Goldberg had said on the view, it 475 00:33:36,705 --> 00:33:41,475 would be horrible if you know what happens when those people have the babies and the 476 00:33:41,475 --> 00:33:44,715 babies are then, or God forbid killed. 477 00:33:46,395 --> 00:33:50,865 So wait, so you're saying that we're instead, we're going to victimize the. 478 00:33:52,225 --> 00:33:55,014 Even more because if the baby's going to become a victim, when they 479 00:33:55,014 --> 00:33:58,524 grow older and be killed, let's kill them before they become a victim. 480 00:33:58,524 --> 00:33:59,815 So we're going to make them a victim. 481 00:34:00,835 --> 00:34:04,945 Like how does that work in any other area or space of life? 482 00:34:05,245 --> 00:34:12,145 No, instead we need to defend the, would be victim and prosecute the victimizer. 483 00:34:12,594 --> 00:34:14,094 That is justice. 484 00:34:14,154 --> 00:34:16,525 That is how it works, but they have, there has been times 485 00:34:16,824 --> 00:34:18,705 throughout history, quite notable. 486 00:34:19,665 --> 00:34:24,105 We're, it was easier to change the law, to allow the victimized, to remain 487 00:34:24,315 --> 00:34:27,105 victims by making them less than human. 488 00:34:27,795 --> 00:34:32,475 Uh, I can think of a couple slavery that has been pretty much in the 489 00:34:32,475 --> 00:34:36,554 news since I dunno a long time, but definitely since 2020, it's been 490 00:34:36,764 --> 00:34:40,665 top, top line slavery reparations. 491 00:34:42,815 --> 00:34:44,464 I can think of some more examples. 492 00:34:44,795 --> 00:34:47,855 Oh, in the Gulag. 493 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,880 I can think of some more examples. 494 00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:55,590 Oh, in the gas chambers, that moment that you make someone they're not, they're not 495 00:34:55,590 --> 00:34:57,720 really a person they're not fully human. 496 00:34:57,930 --> 00:34:59,160 We can victimize them. 497 00:34:59,340 --> 00:34:59,850 It's okay. 498 00:34:59,850 --> 00:35:00,660 We'll make it legal. 499 00:35:02,509 --> 00:35:04,130 That is injustice. 500 00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:16,610 And the thought of creating even more just world by the leading people who would so. 501 00:35:18,220 --> 00:35:22,690 Injustice does not make the world just so you can't just erase someone. 502 00:35:22,690 --> 00:35:27,670 Who's now who's suffering, who is being killed and you erase them 503 00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:29,050 and then it makes that go away. 504 00:35:29,050 --> 00:35:30,880 No, it's quite the opposite. 505 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,380 You need to defend it. 506 00:35:32,710 --> 00:35:38,020 Well, the reason that we unpack all of that is because the question that 507 00:35:40,030 --> 00:35:43,600 I asked that a lot of people are asking, and even here, the Pope is 508 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,480 asking and the same at the end of this. 509 00:35:47,310 --> 00:35:48,600 Uh, piece by Reuters. 510 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:54,450 He says, Pope Francis says, the pastor knows what to do at any moment, but if he 511 00:35:54,450 --> 00:35:59,340 leaves the pastoral process of the church, he immediately becomes a politician. 512 00:36:00,030 --> 00:36:04,350 So the question is when does a person have the cloth? 513 00:36:04,350 --> 00:36:08,280 Whether it's a pastor or whether it's a Bishop or whether it's, 514 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:14,730 uh, an EMOM or whether it's, uh, just a person like you or me when. 515 00:36:16,755 --> 00:36:23,145 When do we take a step past our personal, our quote-unquote personal beliefs and 516 00:36:24,105 --> 00:36:29,595 step into what would be called a political spirit or becoming too political? 517 00:36:31,035 --> 00:36:32,985 You know, this show it, it is very political. 518 00:36:33,855 --> 00:36:39,855 We talk a lot about political geopolitical happenings in the world, but is it. 519 00:36:40,965 --> 00:36:43,155 Politicized, does it have a political spirit about it? 520 00:36:43,245 --> 00:36:46,245 Well, we have to say, what is a political spirit? 521 00:36:46,245 --> 00:36:47,355 What, what does that mean? 522 00:36:48,255 --> 00:36:50,775 Well, you can think of your workplace. 523 00:36:50,775 --> 00:36:55,335 Maybe, maybe you've experienced time in a workplace that was just super. 524 00:36:56,350 --> 00:37:00,600 With workplace politics in order to get anything done, get to 525 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,160 get the right person on board. 526 00:37:02,430 --> 00:37:04,980 And that right person had to be satisfied the right way. 527 00:37:04,980 --> 00:37:09,750 And then you had to make sure to go to this other team and company, a team 528 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:11,820 within the company and get them on board. 529 00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:15,060 And you had to please so-and-so and make sure so-and-so, wasn't going 530 00:37:15,060 --> 00:37:17,450 to snipe your back from behind you. 531 00:37:17,450 --> 00:37:22,050 You have to watch yourself the politics of, of jockeying for 532 00:37:22,290 --> 00:37:25,170 position that has nothing to do with government that can happen. 533 00:37:26,190 --> 00:37:29,760 Any situation that happens in any organization that can happen in a 534 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,250 family, especially extended family. 535 00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:36,960 There's always so many politics that go on that is when something 536 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,670 becomes a political spirit. 537 00:37:38,670 --> 00:37:43,200 When people are jocking for position and trying to manipulate and control 538 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:48,720 the situation and make the muddy, the waters murky the situations that 539 00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:50,610 they can get their desired outcome. 540 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,620 That is a political spirit. 541 00:37:52,620 --> 00:37:54,120 The other spirit that is often. 542 00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,600 And in Christian dumb is, is religious spirit and religious spirit is normally 543 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:06,180 referred to, uh, when someone is very hypocritical or they're taking the, 544 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,080 the law, they're taking the rules that people are meant to follow. 545 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,400 And they're focusing on the nitty gritty there they're honing 546 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,010 down on these minute details. 547 00:38:17,010 --> 00:38:20,370 My new shares that they then hold over other people. 548 00:38:21,330 --> 00:38:26,250 Now we can see this again, not just in religious organizations, but organizations 549 00:38:26,250 --> 00:38:31,590 that often have a lot of religious overtones, like critical race theory, 550 00:38:31,590 --> 00:38:34,470 or like the SJWs or like many calls. 551 00:38:35,695 --> 00:38:38,875 Where there is such a religion, religiosity that there's the right 552 00:38:38,875 --> 00:38:40,255 things to say the right things to do. 553 00:38:40,255 --> 00:38:45,565 And if you step one way off, if you say one thing, the wrong way, you immediately 554 00:38:45,565 --> 00:38:47,455 get docs, you immediately get canceled. 555 00:38:47,455 --> 00:38:52,015 They're digging up your past to make sure that your past is squeaky clean. 556 00:38:52,015 --> 00:38:55,495 While at the same time it is saving with hypocrisy. 557 00:38:55,495 --> 00:38:57,595 You'd see them with double standards. 558 00:38:58,555 --> 00:39:03,115 And then if you ever try to leave one of these groups that are just so. 559 00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:07,210 Bound up and really religiosity. 560 00:39:07,210 --> 00:39:10,510 And again, it doesn't have to be one of a major religion. 561 00:39:10,540 --> 00:39:12,820 This can be within groups. 562 00:39:12,940 --> 00:39:18,850 There can be just such a stringent, hard religiosity around whatever principles 563 00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:20,530 you look at the green movement. 564 00:39:21,130 --> 00:39:22,870 It's very, very religious. 565 00:39:24,190 --> 00:39:30,340 If you look at socialism or communism, it's very religious in its, its ideology. 566 00:39:30,340 --> 00:39:31,780 And the way that that plays out. 567 00:39:33,555 --> 00:39:41,445 Well, the president, uh, actually Jen Saki weighed in for the president on just this 568 00:39:41,445 --> 00:39:47,955 question on, when is president Biden's politics or your politics or my politics. 569 00:39:48,375 --> 00:39:53,835 When do, do our beliefs, when should those enter in to that political realm? 570 00:39:54,015 --> 00:39:56,715 Or should we just divorce it all to. 571 00:39:57,645 --> 00:39:59,985 Uh, well, Joe Biden is a strong man of faith. 572 00:40:00,015 --> 00:40:03,945 Um, and as he noted just a couple of days ago, it's personal. 573 00:40:04,125 --> 00:40:07,154 Uh, he goes to church as you know, uh, nearly every weekend. 574 00:40:07,154 --> 00:40:09,825 He even went when we were on our overseas trip. 575 00:40:09,884 --> 00:40:12,075 Um, but it's personal to him. 576 00:40:12,075 --> 00:40:14,384 He doesn't see it through a political prism and we're not going 577 00:40:14,384 --> 00:40:17,025 to comment otherwise in the inner workings of the Catholic church. 578 00:40:17,715 --> 00:40:22,845 So she goes on to say, it's personal about five or 10 more times. 579 00:40:23,085 --> 00:40:24,795 It's personal, it's personal, it's personal. 580 00:40:27,450 --> 00:40:33,930 It's and she's saying specifically his faith, his personal, he's not going to 581 00:40:33,930 --> 00:40:40,590 bring his faith into the way that he views politics when that is absolutely not true. 582 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,940 And the reason that I say that maybe he's not bringing his Catholic faith 583 00:40:44,970 --> 00:40:49,530 in, but he's bringing his belief system in the way that he believes that the 584 00:40:49,530 --> 00:40:51,360 world is, should be placed together. 585 00:40:51,540 --> 00:40:51,980 Just like. 586 00:40:53,295 --> 00:40:58,545 We bring our belief system into every single interaction that we have in 587 00:40:58,635 --> 00:41:01,215 your interaction with your family, your interaction in your workplace. 588 00:41:01,395 --> 00:41:05,775 You're actually bringing the real belief system that you truly, that 589 00:41:05,985 --> 00:41:10,965 that's included in your yourself. 590 00:41:11,565 --> 00:41:15,165 That's encoded in your belief system in coded in the way that you live. 591 00:41:15,315 --> 00:41:20,115 We bring that into every single interaction, whether we like it or not. 592 00:41:21,925 --> 00:41:24,865 And so here is Jen Saki St. 593 00:41:24,865 --> 00:41:28,855 Well, his, his religious belief system, well, that's personal. 594 00:41:29,005 --> 00:41:35,575 He doesn't bring that into the political realm because the people 595 00:41:35,575 --> 00:41:38,035 in the west really like to do this, it's not so much in the rest of 596 00:41:38,035 --> 00:41:39,415 the world, the rest of the most. 597 00:41:41,070 --> 00:41:45,720 They see things very much integrated in Islam or Buddhism or Hinduism. 598 00:41:45,810 --> 00:41:48,660 They see things very much integrated, which is what do you mean? 599 00:41:48,810 --> 00:41:50,370 There's no, there's no separation. 600 00:41:50,370 --> 00:41:51,810 It's it's all one. 601 00:41:52,140 --> 00:41:52,350 It's. 602 00:41:52,380 --> 00:41:57,360 We're just it's it's just is we're not, we're not going to divide it 603 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,660 up and put everything in the little compartment, boxes all over the place. 604 00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:01,740 It's just all the same. 605 00:42:02,070 --> 00:42:05,070 It's all integrated in one holistic. 606 00:42:06,254 --> 00:42:08,504 But in the west, we like to separate it. 607 00:42:08,504 --> 00:42:09,734 I believe he can control it. 608 00:42:09,794 --> 00:42:13,064 And others better for like, well, you know, those are your beliefs over there. 609 00:42:13,095 --> 00:42:14,535 Keep those in those corners. 610 00:42:14,805 --> 00:42:20,625 But my beliefs, my political beliefs that are secular, that secular worldview, 611 00:42:21,225 --> 00:42:23,984 that's the real religion of the day. 612 00:42:23,984 --> 00:42:25,995 That's the real religion of the west. 613 00:42:25,995 --> 00:42:30,794 And we can push that religion, all that we want and we can push the 614 00:42:30,794 --> 00:42:34,125 morals or the lack of morality in. 615 00:42:35,445 --> 00:42:40,395 In that worldview, all that we want onto people as much as we want. 616 00:42:40,395 --> 00:42:40,845 Why? 617 00:42:41,025 --> 00:42:47,265 Because we say that it's not religious when really it truly is religious. 618 00:42:47,265 --> 00:42:54,555 So if you're asking yourself to what extent should I engage? 619 00:42:54,855 --> 00:42:58,965 To what extent should I keep my personal beliefs personal? 620 00:42:59,505 --> 00:43:00,705 Well, as long as you are. 621 00:43:01,425 --> 00:43:06,885 Infringing enforcing and controlling someone else with your personal 622 00:43:06,885 --> 00:43:10,845 beliefs, which that would be a religious spirit, which is exactly 623 00:43:10,845 --> 00:43:12,105 what we're seeing with CRT. 624 00:43:12,465 --> 00:43:14,235 Again, they would say, well, no, it's not. 625 00:43:14,235 --> 00:43:21,285 This is, this is just, I don't know what they'd say, but they're working to control 626 00:43:21,285 --> 00:43:23,535 people through fear and manipulation. 627 00:43:24,585 --> 00:43:26,715 And that is that, is it religious spirit? 628 00:43:26,715 --> 00:43:29,655 So you don't want to step into that to control others. 629 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:37,830 From your beliefs, but when it comes to things, issues like abortion or 630 00:43:37,830 --> 00:43:44,580 issues that are, or strike at the very core of morality where it's 631 00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:47,880 not like, well, you know, you might like a couple of different things. 632 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:48,480 That's fine. 633 00:43:49,830 --> 00:43:54,480 But when it comes to real core issues, We should step up. 634 00:43:54,510 --> 00:43:58,950 We should speak out, especially when it involves someone else's 635 00:43:59,070 --> 00:44:00,570 innocent, life being taken. 636 00:44:00,570 --> 00:44:01,590 When it comes to abortion. 637 00:44:02,310 --> 00:44:09,450 It is 8, 8, 8 procedure that has two people involved, the mother and the child, 638 00:44:09,750 --> 00:44:14,790 and one person walks out of that room dismembered, or doesn't walk out of that. 639 00:44:14,790 --> 00:44:17,850 One person walks out of the room and the other person ends up deciding. 640 00:44:19,275 --> 00:44:22,005 That is not something that is subjective. 641 00:44:22,305 --> 00:44:26,835 That is not something that is being imposed on other people that is 642 00:44:26,835 --> 00:44:30,495 protecting innocent innocent lives. 643 00:44:30,675 --> 00:44:36,195 And that is our responsibility to uphold that moral code, whoever you 644 00:44:36,195 --> 00:44:42,825 are, wherever you're from, that is our responsibility to stand on truth. 645 00:44:43,125 --> 00:44:45,705 The truth that a human being. 646 00:44:46,485 --> 00:44:51,465 Is a human being scientifically biologically at conception. 647 00:44:51,885 --> 00:44:56,775 And those rights to life begins at conception because if we, if we 648 00:44:56,775 --> 00:45:02,775 lose that, then what is to say that euthanasia becomes okay tomorrow or 649 00:45:02,775 --> 00:45:08,115 the event decided three, three months after birth, six months after birth. 650 00:45:10,005 --> 00:45:11,595 Where, where does the limit? 651 00:45:12,075 --> 00:45:14,475 And we want to follow the science, then let's. 652 00:45:15,540 --> 00:45:16,440 Follow the science. 653 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,800 Well, this show is brought to you by you. 654 00:45:20,550 --> 00:45:22,290 This is a value for value podcast. 655 00:45:22,290 --> 00:45:23,670 I want to thank you for listening. 656 00:45:24,270 --> 00:45:24,750 I forgot. 657 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,040 Last episode. 658 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,090 I said something absolutely ridiculous in this segment of the show. 659 00:45:30,090 --> 00:45:31,920 If you haven't listened to it, go back. 660 00:45:31,950 --> 00:45:36,980 I just totally stuck my foot in my mouth, but I just want to thank you for being. 661 00:45:38,220 --> 00:45:39,690 I truly appreciate it. 662 00:45:39,690 --> 00:45:41,160 This is a value for value podcast. 663 00:45:41,190 --> 00:45:45,180 Thousands of people listen to the show every month to help them understand 664 00:45:45,779 --> 00:45:51,660 the, the movings of the world and how to see the world and own their future. 665 00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:55,379 So you can help yourself and others by giving value to this. 666 00:45:56,475 --> 00:45:59,025 Back to the show and the value that you receive it. 667 00:45:59,355 --> 00:46:03,105 And you can do that by visiting Lucas, scroll bot.com, where you can give 668 00:46:03,105 --> 00:46:07,605 your hard, cold Fiat, or you can get a podcast 2.0 certified app where 669 00:46:07,605 --> 00:46:14,685 you can

which really makes it feel much more 674 00:46:31,980 --> 00:46:34,680 interactive and engaging for me. 675 00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:35,370 Don't go away. 676 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,180 We will be right back with our closing Weaver and loom segment. 677 00:46:46,365 --> 00:46:50,384 Welcome back to Weaver Luma, part of the show where we take ancient wisdom and 678 00:46:50,384 --> 00:46:57,555 we weave it in with our every day lives and today's wisdom comes from Play-Doh. 679 00:46:58,395 --> 00:47:00,225 He writes the price. 680 00:47:00,464 --> 00:47:07,395 Good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men. 681 00:47:07,815 --> 00:47:11,115 This is one of the reasons that we have this. 682 00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:14,270 This is probably a reason that you listened to the show. 683 00:47:14,300 --> 00:47:19,350 It's definitely a reason that I put hours a week into this show is because 684 00:47:20,190 --> 00:47:22,890 I do not want to be ruled by evil men. 685 00:47:23,310 --> 00:47:27,690 And I know that the price they're good men and women like you and I pay 686 00:47:29,740 --> 00:47:35,110 for our indifference for not caring, for not paying attention to public 687 00:47:35,110 --> 00:47:36,970 affairs is to be ruled by evil men. 688 00:47:37,875 --> 00:47:43,665 To what extent should we become consumed with fear consumed with clickbait 24 hour 689 00:47:43,665 --> 00:47:48,915 news cycle headlines, making sure we, we read everything and listen to everything. 690 00:47:48,915 --> 00:47:57,225 No pointless worthless would consume our lives, but we should be paying attention 691 00:47:57,375 --> 00:48:02,085 to the community around us and building up the community around us and the culture 692 00:48:02,145 --> 00:48:05,385 around us so that we can have a community. 693 00:48:06,225 --> 00:48:13,544 And we can walk forward with, and those, and that is that the public 694 00:48:13,544 --> 00:48:16,305 affairs that Plato speaks up. 695 00:48:17,504 --> 00:48:17,714 Sure. 696 00:48:17,714 --> 00:48:23,444 He speaks of the political affairs as well, but we can start by doing something 697 00:48:23,504 --> 00:48:26,085 locally by building our community locally. 698 00:48:26,085 --> 00:48:29,654 And one way that you can do that is by sharing this podcast with 699 00:48:29,865 --> 00:48:34,065 a friend, a coworker, a spouse, someone that you like to debate with. 700 00:48:35,805 --> 00:48:41,325 I like to share podcasts by texting one individual or two individuals, 701 00:48:41,535 --> 00:48:44,385 and then having a conversation about it, rather than just sending 702 00:48:44,385 --> 00:48:46,575 it out into the social media world. 703 00:48:47,925 --> 00:48:52,335 Another way that you can share this is just by having a conversation about some 704 00:48:52,335 --> 00:48:56,265 of these topics with other people and asking, Hey, what do you think about this? 705 00:48:56,265 --> 00:48:59,175 What do you think about what's happening around right now with 706 00:48:59,265 --> 00:49:02,265 the Australian Outkast deal? 707 00:49:03,435 --> 00:49:03,855 What do you think. 708 00:49:04,650 --> 00:49:05,670 What's happening with China. 709 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,960 What do you think about what's happening with this debate? 710 00:49:09,990 --> 00:49:11,009 That's going on right now with the. 711 00:49:12,060 --> 00:49:16,980 Bring up the subjects, talk about it with people around you and that will strengthen 712 00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:20,069 you and it will strengthen your community. 713 00:49:21,899 --> 00:49:25,890 Will strengthen them to be able to see the world more clearly, 714 00:49:25,890 --> 00:49:29,850 because if we can see the world clearly, then we can navigate it. 715 00:49:29,850 --> 00:49:34,230 And if we can navigate our life and our relationships, we will be. 716 00:49:35,085 --> 00:49:40,154 To uncover our purpose and that will enable us to own our future.
