America is leading the world again.
Biden has said it and finally, oh man, I am so relieved.
And with that good news, America is also going to begin to fight terrorism
elsewhere because it's growing.
America is also going to put an end to forever wars.
What does it actually mean for all intents and purposes?
Well, it means America is leading the world into the worst human crisis, human
humanitarian crisis, and catastrophe since probably even before Vietnam.
There's some, some scholars are saying this is eclipsing.
It, it makes Vietnam looks like child's play.
Why?
Because this was completely avoidable.
Speaking of fighting terrorism elsewhere, apparently America leading in fighting
terrorism means letting someone who is on the top, FBI most wanted list with a
$5 billion bounty on his head to just.
Roam free and actually become leader leadership in Kabul.
Wow.
And putting the end of forever wards at new it.
Let me translate that for you.
It means insuring forever war, he it's Lucas scrub out and you're listening
to the Lucas scroll bot show where we uncover purpose for Sue truth and own the
future episode 251 is August 23rd, 2021.
And oh my goodness.
It has been.
A week, this, you know, I'm going to be, I'm going to confess something at
the top of this hour right now to you.
This show is light in clips this week, because I was actually fighting
a crisis, a crisis that was birthed by the Biden administration himself.
You know, I have business leaders who they have a broad network in
Afghanistan and I've been man.
Helping day and night, trying to figure out any way that.
Help in the midst of this catastrophe, this incredible crisis.
And it really what we're seeing on the news.
No, they're, they're already beginning to spin it to say, yeah,
it's this problems that promise this thing, but I'm telling you, we, we.
Right now, the eyes of the world are focused on that airport and around the
airport, the things that are happening, but the real crisis is only beginning.
The crisis is not going to end when American NATO troops
finally pull out of Afghanistan.
The crisis is going to last for months, but I tell you this, we
won't be hearing about it past, I don't know, a couple of weeks, we're
going to be on to something new.
We're going to be on to the next.
And on top of that, we were not going to have the journalists there to report
about the massacres that are taking place.
We're not going to have the, the journalist there to tell us what is
actually happening on the ground.
And we were just told, well, you know, the Taliban, they, they really want to have
their place at that international table.
So we're, we're hoping that they're gonna do what's right.
They've they've already been backtracking on everything that they
say that there's they're going to do.
What's right.
Remember how they said, oh, we're going to grant inclusivity and
amnesty for everyone as they do, what?
As they pull judges out of their homes in the middle of the night, as they
go door to door, making lists, UN UN council security council report it.
That they, they have concrete evidence before it was kind of rumors.
Hearsay.
People were like, oh yeah, this happening, of course that's happening.
It's confirmed.
The Taliban are actually going to door to door, knocking on doors, figuring
out where religious minorities are, who worked with NGOs who worked
with America, who worked with.
And their idea of inclusion and inclusive government it's.
If you repent of all your past affiliations with Afghan government
or NATO or whatever, then we'll, we'll grant you some sort of
forgiveness, maybe a minor position in the government, but you know what?
Once, once the purse shirt's coming around, they're
going to knock on your door.
Because your name is on the list of who you used to serve decades ago.
That is how it works.
That is how revenge works.
And we saw this, we saw this time and time again in the cultural revolution,
the color revolution and the USSR Soviet.
There would be a temporary forgiveness, but then sooner or later it would
come back around that actually you were associated with so-and-so
and so-and-so, and so-and-so back then all those decades ago.
Now it's your time to go off to the Gulag to go off to the firing range Outback.
It is already beginning DW lost relatives.
A reporter with DW was being hunted down.
Afghani relative at DW reporter killed by the Taliban journalists and
their families are in grave danger.
Remember when they said, oh, we're gonna, we're going to keep everybody safe.
Don't worry.
We're changed all that all the time.
PR stunts from last week of having women on the news, we've covered
it in the previous episode.
Yeah, well that lasted, uh, uh, a week, let's say last month.
Th th th it's not even, it's not even been a week.
Today it's been a week.
Well, last week, that female anchors on, on interviewing
Taliban, uh, government leaders.
Now, I guess they're government leaders.
They they're, they're running the place.
To say, oh, look, we've changed.
Well, they've reneged that not actually kick them off there.
We've got to figure out the rules, regulations, you know, do we, will
they even be allowed on we're we'll we'll just get the rules in place.
And once they're in place, then you can come back, maybe doubtful, but.
Uh, we have a couple clips a day from the mastermind of this operation.
Cause there, there is, you know, believe it or not.
There is a mastermind behind this and is president Joe Biden.
We are, America is back.
America is back to lead the world.
Again, this is a proud, accomplished.
I didn't pull this clip, but in this press conference from the 21st, he was
saying, there's well, other country that could pull us off from around the world.
It's such an intense military operation.
In fact, white, all these people, no one else could do it, but
America, yeah, you, you call you're bragging about the cleaning.
Of the manure that you made, the mess you made, this is something to brag
about, like, okay, well, um, I'm glad that America has that capability, but
you also have the capability not to cause this mess to not cause it, but, you know,
we gotta, we gotta frame this as a win.
We can't admit that this was a, a total catastrophe, total catastrophe.
Here's president Joe Biden.
Talking about how really we got to focus on other places in the world.
Now for the past three decades, drought and floods have plague.
The threat from terrorism has metastasized here's Joe, by talking
about how we need to really focus on other areas of the world.
Now, the threat from terrorism has metastasized as a greater danger
from ISIS and, and, and, and Al Qaeda and all of these affiliate.
And other countries by far than there is from Afghanistan.
He really likes that word metastasize.
He's used it a few times.
It's it means growing like a cancer terrorism is growing like a
cancer and all these other places.
So, yeah, it's probably best for just that.
We don't have any air bases in Afghanistan and well, because of the
deal that Pakistan made with, uh, the Taliban, we're going to need to be able
to have any air bases there either.
And, uh, and all these other places that he's met.
We're up.
Terrorism is metastasizing.
We actually do.
America does have a permanent military presence there, but it's just, you
know, whatever sounds good, but let's, what's, what's the reality.
What is the reality on the ground?
Well, the sun reports.
Headline quote us most wanted Al Qaeda terrorist.
Hollyweed Huck Connie peers in carpool, alongside Taliban with
$5 million bounty on his head.
One of America's most, most wanted terrorists.
Then you'd be like from a movie or something America's most wanted
with a $5 million bounty on his head just shows up in Kabul.
Now, here I am.
Leading Friday prayers.
Oh my oh, my, this guy was responsible for multiple suicide
bombings across Afghanistan.
He was responsible for putting a truck bomb together in Eastern Afghanistan.
In October, 2013, that contained nearly 28.
Tons of explosives.
Explosives had had that bomb.
That truck gone off, it would have been the biggest.
The biggest car bomb or truck bomb in history, but luckily
it did not desolate detonate.
The they foiled, uh, uh, Connie's plan, uh, British intelligence
officer told voice of America.
The fact that we have high lead Connie in charge of Kabul security
is dismayed the how Connie kinda have a long history together.
You could argue they're intertwined.
And it is highly unlikely that they will cut ties.
Wait a minute, hold, I'm going to do a bite in here.
This is what Biden likes to does.
We were just going to whisper into the mic.
Wait a minute.
Remember that we were really here to fight Al Qaeda.
We've we've destroyed them.
I thought you were supposed to destroy Al-Qaeda.
I thought Al Qaeda was out of Afghanistan, so that's why
we're out, you know, it's okay.
We completed our mission and here they are.
Senior leadership bus bed, best buds without Qaeda right there.
Back in Kabul mission successful.
Mr.
President mission successful.
Well, I have a Roberts said putting the Haqqani network in charge of
security and Kabul is like the Fox being put in charge of the chicken coop.
What do you think is going to happen?
But here, here is the president saying we're going to fight
terrorism elsewhere in the world.
As we give billions of dollars of military equipment, airplanes, helicopters, guns,
uniforms, uh, intelligence biometrics on all of our allies in the country.
Yeah.
You just funny.
And set into place a terrorist organization.
And you're saying we're going to, we're going to fight terrorism elsewhere.
Cause uh, you know, don't worry, don't worry about, don't worry about these guys.
This guy in the FBI most wanted list, eh, psych not really.
It is a despicable.
Just unbelievable.
Well, great news though.
Great news from all of this, that, that every person around the world I'm really
I'm sure is absolutely thrilled about is this next clip by president Biden.
This is about America leading the world and all our allies have agreed with you.
Yeah.
This is about America leading the world.
Well, I'm glad that we finally seen America leading the world again.
Right, right into the biggest human catastrophe.
As I said since, at least since Vietnam, if not beforehand,
just a total geopolitical mess, total mess leading the world.
I don't think the world really appreciates this kind of leadership Mr.
Joe Biden.
I don't think the world likes seeing their allies totally abandoned
and betrayed and just left and recklessly placed into today.
And just rolling over on it.
I do not think I do not think that this is the leadership, the leadership that we
are looking for or that the world wants.
Well, here's that Tony?
Who comments on this, this mess and the return of the Taliban.
He wrote that every jihadist group around the world is cheering.
Yep, no, duh.
The U S led invasion that has, that has the hasty withdrawal has been a
tragic, dangerous, and unnecessary decision has underminded the west end.
He accused Tony glare accused the president, president binded and being
motivated by an imbecilic political slogan about a never ending forever war.
Yep.
We're going to end the forever wars.
How, how, how, how does this end forever wars, if anything, it seems to
me to position the world for forever.
I mean right now, that's, that's what we're going to see.
And I've got, we're only at the beginning of what's going to turn
it in to eat probably a civil war.
As you have my suits sun up in the north, north east gathering a
band of, of resistance fighters.
If you remember, his, my suit was assassin on September 9th,
2001, two days before September.
Who is part of the resistance fighters fighting for the nation of Afghanistan
against the Taliban and just all the way back there is this is this
the leadership that the world wants,
you know, they, they people say, you know, just give them a chance I've seen,
I've seen on social, the social media.
In my comment sections recently.
Well, you know, you should really just give them a chance.
You know, people can change, really people can change.
And that's where this is one of the arguments that's going
to come in in the coming weeks.
And you already saw it in this speech by Biden.
I didn't cut this clip, but he kept on saying, you know, we've
been in, we've been talking with.
We've been talking with the Taliban to make sure that anyone who has a us
passport, they can get through to the airport, but there are reports of people
getting with us passports, getting beaten at checkpoints and, and not let through.
Well, we don't, you know, those there's lots of, and there's true.
There's lots of different factions and military groups underneath
that are comprised within the.
That are all wrapped up into one big package, but what's
going to happen as well.
You know, that's not really the Taliban, it's these mouthpieces
that are talking that's the Taliban.
And these are just some other, you know, factions.
It's a, it's a filing, but mostly peaceful takeover.
It's a violent, but mostly peaceful genocide because there
are going to be factions with, with in, and they're already.
That have different ideas than the mouthpiece, the rhetoric,
the propaganda that is coming out about an inclusive government.
Just wait, just wait for what?
Just wait and see if they actually do commit genocide.
If they actually do kill everyone who has been associated with NGOs or associated
with the U S government or translators.
Well, Tony Blair, it goes onto right.
In this piece, he says, we must evacuate and give sanctuary to those whom we've
had as responsibility to those Afghans who have helped us and stood by us.
They have a right to demand.
We stand by them.
There must be no repetition or arbitrary deadlines.
We have a moral obligation to keep it, to keep it until all
those who need to be in vacuum.
The deadline we need to beat in there.
We need to stay there.
And so every person who needs to be evacuated gets evacuated, he goes
on and says, and we should do so, not grudgingly, but out of a sense
of humanity and responsibility.
I agree.
Tony Blair for the wind, sadly, I've been seeing across the social medias.
From people.
I normally respect voices.
I normally respect on the conservative.
Right.
But saying, ah, the re the real reason that Biden did this was
because he's trying to change the U S voting constituency.
And they're trying to bring all of these refugees in there
crying a hundred thousand people.
It's going to change the way America votes.
No way first you're w you're totally off.
One is the absolute wrong strategy to use two.
These are people who fought alongside American interests for decades,
who are saying, actually we don't want to live under Taliban rule.
We, we prefer Liberty and freedom.
You want those people in your country, America.
Not only do you have a responsibility to them, but you want them there, especially
if you're on the conservative, right?
Cause they are not going to go along with the woke pedaling that
is happening right now in the west.
This wokeness they're gonna be like, I don't want that.
That's the same.
That's the same brand just to another label.
I don't want that.
Yeah.
On top of it.
Who do you think they're upset with right now, president Joe Biden and
the Democrat administration who caused this mess, who caused this
mess and a completely avoidable mess.
Who, who do you think they're going to like bite into?
If they're going to come in and just all of a sudden start folding Democrat
crap after the, after they would lost their lives and livelihoods.
No way, welcome them in.
Now I saw another, another post about this, this whole fiasco, again, from
someone that I normally respect and normally agree with, but saying it's
a shame that look at these flights are filled with Afghanis and other people.
And we don't even know how many Americans are in there.
We need to get the Americans out first.
Remember in Vietnam now again, very different situation
by many means in Vietnam.
They actually had more time than they had here.
Uh, this is probably going to turn out to be worse.
By some measures, some people believe then what happened in Vietnam and we'll
see what happens over the coming months.
Remember the crisis does not end after the airport.
That is the beginning as we're all eyes are on us.
Cause the media they're the journalism or they're the action is there.
The shots are there, but the real crisis, just a real humanitarian
crisis is happening outside.
Airport, the real crisis is happening.
It w w we're with the Taliban are going knocking door to door.
As we said to you and reports, official reports have come out to confirm and
certify actually they are happening.
It's not just rumor that they're going door to door and making lists.
It's not just rumor that there they've begun to take some revenge.
It is not widespread yet, but they are preparing because why would
you, you just took over the country.
Why would you do it right away?
You just took over the country.
The Americans are a NATO.
Troops are fleeing the Russians.
It's like, you know what?
Get out of here.
And as soon as you are out enough to not be able to have a say what we do, or be
able to retaliate and strike back quickly.
We can pull the switch and, and do what we need to, and there are
hundreds, thousands of people who are desperate to get out there.
They're smuggling themselves out over walking over mountains, walking
long distances to escape, desperate smuggling, uh, through commercial.
The few land borders that are open taking very dangerous tracks, hoping not to
get caught, risking their lives in, in mobs, in front of the airport, there
is a moral responsibility to take these people that have fought alongside us and
who have been just treated treacherously by this administration treacherous.
Well, Biden did have one, one good thing.
To say from this, from this whole, whole talking point, apparently someone got
fired and someone else decided to come in and write his script that he read
in this press conference, because this is the finally the right thing that
the government should have been saying all along president Biden, we run into
everything, everything that we can to provide safe evacuation for our Afghans.
Partners and Afghans who, who, who, who might be targeted if the, because of
their association with the United States.
But let me be clear.
Any American wants to come home, we will get you home.
Remember, in a previous episode, we played a clip for their, like they
asked, uh, are we, are you going to be able to get your people home?
We're going to take it day by day and see we're just going to feel this way.
Finally, they're saying the right thing.
We're going to get every American home that wants to and needs to get home.
And they're saying we're going to do everything that we can to get out.
All of our allies, everyone who is at risk, we're gonna
do everything that we can.
And they should with, or without a deadline, they should be doing everything
that they can, but make no mistake.
This was completely, completely avoidable.
Now, president Biden, I would say he tweeted out, but he didn't tweet it out
because remember he's still off Twitter, but who's on Twitter of a Taliban.
The Taliban stuck, struck a deal with Twitter because the Taliban
doesn't say mean things on Twitter.
They can do mean things in person.
They can, they can suicide bomb all they want.
That's okay.
As long as they don't say mean things on Twitter.
Well, president Trump, former president Trump is no longer on Twitter, but
he did say he did say this on a telegram that came through Donald J.
Trump.
First you bring out all the American citizens.
Yeah, that would have been a good idea.
First, then you bring out all the equipment and might've add with,
uh, military, uh, American citizens who'd would be all of the vulnerable
people who need to get out too.
If the nation fell, as it did, would have been in the same situation,
you bring out all the at-risk people, then you bring them.
The equipment, the equipment, the billions of dollars of gifts that, that the Biden
administration has just handed over to one of the people on the most one endless,
then you bomb basis to smithereens, and then you bring the military out.
You don't do it in reverse order like Biden or our woke general.
No chaos, no death.
They wouldn't even know we left.
And it's, you know what president former president Donald Trump is.
Right?
You would think that you'd first pull out the people who are at
risk, then you'll pull out your heavy equipment and machinery.
Then you destroy anything that you may have left behind so that
that can not be used by the enemy.
And then you pull your military out, but instead, what did we do?
We left our civilians in, we pulled the military out, left our heavy equipment.
Like what, what do you think, what do you think is going to happen on believable?
Well, speaking of, uh, speaking of Donald Trump, apparently.
Also on the, the, the social media spaces of our day.
Uh, Trump is still a big thing.
He, uh, Donald J.
Trump has built Trump towers in the hearts and minds of, I'm not
going to say every because that'd be pre painting with a broad brush,
but many progressive leftists.
Trump has just he's living in their minds and hearts rent free.
Everything that happens in the world.
It all comes back down to Trump in order to cover for what Biden did.
It's because Trump was xenophobic.
What?
Yeah, this all happened.
Good thing that Trump wasn't there because he's a racist.
Imagine how bad that would be.
Uh, I think people would rather be alive, have their livelihood
and have their nation in place.
Then than worry about someone who has, uh, a loose tongue on their tweets.
Unbelievable.
The fact that the fact that we can't realize and focus that, wait, wait a
minute, this was a complete failure, miss handling that, you know what.
There, there are some people who are out there who don't
think it was unintentional.
They think that this was very intentional.
Now those many of those same people who are, you know, when you
talk about it, it's just Trump.
Well, it's Trump, it's Trump.
It's Trump.
It's like Trump has been gone for months.
He's not even on Twitter anymore.
Ha ha.
Of course they're saying, well it's because of this, this deal, the Taliban
deal that he made, which they did not, the Taliban did not fulfill it.
And meet the qualifications of that deal.
And therefore the U S government should not have fulfilled its end of the deal.
That's how deals work.
We take one step towards each other on each side until you meet in the middle.
But no it's because we need to end forever wars and endless wars.
Well, who's going to fill that void.
What happened when we w we did that in Iran?
Clearly many missteps there leading up to it, but what happened?
What filled the void ISIS?
What's going to fill the void.
Now another great argument that's been thrown around there is, well, you need
to follow the money, follow the money.
Okay.
Let's follow the money.
Uh, who is making bank off of this whole thing?
Let's follow them up.
Oh, yeah.
I remember there's one to $3 trillion of raw assets in the ground of Afghanistan
and who has already made buddied up deals.
We mentioned this in the previous episode, who's already made deals.
China, follow the money.
We will follow money.
China made the money.
China paid off hunter Biden and Biden.
So, oh, let's follow the money.
Yeah, maybe, maybe it is.
Maybe it is true that Biden got paid off.
To hand the nation over because clearly he's just all boasts.
He's all boasts.
So unbelievable.
Well, there's more excuses that are coming down the pike to distract.
This administration's failure, which has already resulted in extraordinary
losses of, of life and work.
Uh, hundreds of people, thousands of people in hiding with no way out.
Thousands of people, no food, no money.
The banks are closed.
ATM's are closed the human, the humanitarian crisis.
Caused by this administration.
Unexcusable but apparently, you know what, in this world, it definitely is excusable.
Yeah, that makes sense.
So my in a post-truth society where we've exchanged the truth for lies
and reason for postmodern rationality, the absurd, it finally makes sense.
As I said, it's absurd to blame this on Z.
It's the Xeno phobic, the Xeno phobic Republicans.
Now.
Yes, as we covered already, there were some, some people then very
shocked and disappointed that they would even think this w saying
that well, they're just trying to breed, constitute the voting people.
America has an obligation and we should have a joy to take it in
these people who fought alongside us and served alongside us and validly
served their country for decades.
Take them in as refugees.
Absolutely.
Racism.
Definitely did not cause this catastrophe, but if you can't buy the racist in one,
well, there's eight bigger Trump card and it's not Donald Trump, even though
they've already played that one too.
There's a bigger Trump card.
That of course, truly.
Caused this crisis here is CBS news for the past three decades.
Drought and floods have plagued rural Afghanistan.
As a result, farmers have struggled to maintain their crops in livestock
and many people have been left hungry.
The Taliban has been exploiting that stress and capitalizing on
distrust in the government to recruit members to their ranks.
CBS news, climate reporter carrot, Cortez has been reporting on it.
And she joins me now, Kara, thanks for being here.
So tell us what does the Taliban offer farmers that they might not
be getting from the Afghan guy?
It's climate change folks.
It's climate change, climate change caused this.
The reason that that the Taliban were ever to take over it's climate change.
It's not a failure of policy climate change.
I ferment.
It's always the most simple thing that they offer.
These rural farmers in Afghanistan.
Lana is just support, uh, part of the reason why the Taliban was so successful.
And so swift in toppling the government, uh, in Kabul was because it was a
corrupt, uh, very criticized government.
And particularly that sentiment was very, very strong in rural
farming communities of Afghanistan.
And we know that Afghanistan of all the countries in the world.
Ranked sixth, uh, in the list of all the countries hit hardest by climate change.
Afghanistan is, is six.
Yeah.
Wait, he, or she says that the reason that people were disgruntled was
because of corruption in the government, that the government was serving
themselves, not serving their people.
AKA was big government, leftist government serving them.
Not that th th that the government is there to serve the people, but your CBS is
trying to frame this beautiful narrative.
Oh, the reason that all this happened, it wasn't a failure of policy.
It was that climate change happened.
And that's the real thing we need to fight.
We need to fight climate change because if we don't fight climate
change, well, then the entire world is going to become terrorists.
That's what's going to happen.
And she, she does have a point.
In that, the way that the telephone was, was able to sweep
through the country so quickly.
And so, so gracefully was that they were wise intrude and they were
cutting deals underneath the table with all of the tribal leaders, with
all of the regional leaders, they were paying people off, buying people off
and probably saying, Hey, the corrupt government, they're not helping you.
We'll help you.
Because the government isn't helping you, not because climate change, this,
this clip goes on before I let you go.
Where else in the world has climate change been?
Uh, igniting civil unrest or, or continuing to fuel?
Yeah.
As I said, many people I spoke to on a basically said, this is a recipe
that we've seen before recently, Boko Haram in central and Western Africa,
just a few years back, they rose to popularity, uh, by controlling the
shrinking lake, Chad basin, uh, this, you know, vital vestibule of, of water
resources and other resources, uh, was shrinking because of extreme drought
and Boko Haram came in and, and.
Collected the land that that was now being created as water was decreasing,
uh, ISIS has thrived in Iraq and Syria during extreme droughts there, but also
one expert said to me, Lana, that this is something that is not at all modern.
When you look at various communist revolutions, whether they be in China
or Russia, or even Western Europe, you can look back centuries into
history and see that revolutions are often started, uh, because of.
Poor impoverished communities feeling like the government.
Isn't listening to them, feeling that, feeling that the government
isn't taking care of them.
And that is when we see antigovernment and extreme groups thrive.
So here's a massive contradiction here.
This is at the end of the clip.
There there's the middle part that we, we hollowed out and we didn't play here.
But at the end of this clip, she says it's times where people are disgruntled,
where they feel like the government's not listening to them or the government's
not taking care of their needs.
That anti-revolutionary and anti government revolutionary groups
spring forth because of corruption.
So mate, maybe, maybe it's corruption that causes people
to be disjointed, disenchanted, and begin to resort to violence.
Maybe it's corruption.
Maybe it is ideas.
Violent ideas that, that we saw in communism, where there is no
such thing as, as, as good and evil as morality, it is all power.
Maybe, maybe it's the fact that when there are ruthless men who resort
to violence, unless you comply with everything that they say, ruthless men.
Maybe that leads to people saying, you know what, I'm, I'm going
to take my chances with them rather than be killed by them.
And so the deep contradiction here is also, you can look around
the world and other places where there have been violent uprisings.
Or, or, or credible crime like the drug Lords in south America
where you can't say that?
Well, there's so many droughts and it's causing people to turn to sell drugs.
No, it's because they're wicked and bloodthirsty men who have no care for
the sanctity of life climate change.
Well, it's not surprised that that one, that, that one came out because
of course it couldn't be a human face.
Of course, it's not a human failure.
It's not because of human choices that this whole thing happened, but it's, let's
blame it on, let's blame it on education and let's blame it on climate change.
And if that doesn't work, we'll blame it on xenophobic racism.
This show is brought to you by viewers like you who get value out of the show.
So if you get value out of the show, you can consider giving value back

Now, thousands of people turn to this show.
Every month to help inform them of the, the schemes that are being propped up
against their life, against their world, against humanity, to seek, to destroy
us and how to navigate through that.
How to understand and see the world a little bit.
Clearly.

To the show don't go away.
We'll be right back with our closing Weaver and loom segment.
Welcome back to Weaver and Luma part of the show.
Ancient wisdom.
And we weave it in with our every day lives so that we can own our future.
And we've our Destiny's now right now, it's probably at all times,
but for sure, more in this past week than in most times there.
Incredible amount of catastrophes that are happening across the globe.
We have hate and Hadia.
Another massive earthquake that I believe has killed over a thousand people
have not been following it closely.
Uh, w we have in Lebanon, another crisis happening in Lebanon.
And of course we have this complete failure, complete
failure that is, has already cost.
Dozens, if not hundreds of lives, cost livelihoods of hundreds, of thousands
of people and will likely end up in the death and destruction of many, many
people, which leads us to our quote today.
Again, it's an ancient proverb written by a man named James from the book of James.
Here is, uh, today's quote.
If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food.
And one of you says to them, go in peace, be warm and filled without
giving them things needed for the body.
What good is that?
If you are scrolling through your Instagram liking, posting,
praying, I pray for these people.
I hope they are.
But you're not, but you're not doing something giving, even if it's a
little, even if it's just a cup of water to help them, then what good is it?
Is that if you're listening to this podcast at two times speed, and
you're going to go on to the next thing in your day, what good is that
don't even worry about giving to the show because we're doing great.
We're doing fine.
There are, and we're so grateful for each and every one of you who give to make this
show possible that I would ask that you would stop and, and find and consider, uh,
a place that you can give to help either.
What's happening in Afghanistan.
As I said, there are hundreds of thousands of millions of people, no money to
buy food because the banks are closed.
Their lives are in danger.
They're in hiding.
They are afraid.
They are uncertain of their future.
People cannot get to the airports.
I know people.
Who have tried multiple times to get to the, get to the airports and make
it through the checkpoints, but they can't actually make it to the airport
because of the throngs of people.
People have been dyed and trampled on in those crowds of
people, desperate to get out.
That's where we see the footage of these kids being pulled over the wall, parents
so desperate to even get their kids.
Out, even if he means that they don't make it because the, the know what is
coming, they're not deceived by the reality at hand, even though apparently
some people are because they think that well, they, the Taliban wants
an inclusive place at the table.
By what I would urge.
You urge you to think about.
To a charitable cause in this hour, if you don't know where or how to give, please
reach out to me and we can help you find and match you with a place that meets what
you want to give to whether it's in Haiti or Lebanon or in Afghanistan this week.
Finally.
Finally to get more out of the show to get more out of this episode, share it.
Talk about it, this with your friends.
Now, whether it's sharing this episode, texting SMS to someone, because it will
make them feel loved or just sharing the ideas in this show with someone.
Because it will stimulate conversation will make you think faster, stronger,
and sharper, and probably learn a finger to finally, you are someone who
goes out and pursues truth to discern the world because as we discussed.
How to see the world.
We then discern how to walk, rightly how we ought to walk in the world.
And that, that is our purpose to walk rightly and uprightly in the world.
And that enables you and I to own our futures.
