00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:05,100
Last week, Justin Trudeau made a
speech on International Abortion Day.

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:08,430
Now we're gonna read that
speech to you in just a moment.

3
00:00:08,850 --> 00:00:12,750
We're he read it in, its a
section of it in its entirety.

4
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:16,470
Now, some of the verbiage that
he used was quite confusing.

5
00:00:16,475 --> 00:00:19,200
You read it, you're like,
When is he really saying here?

6
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20,820
So he had to change a word or two.

7
00:00:21,030 --> 00:00:24,120
We set to the definition of
the words that he's using.

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,020
We just added some clarity
for, for the reader's sake.

9
00:00:28,020 --> 00:00:28,860
So here it goes.

10
00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:34,769
Here's Justin Trudeau's speech Today
on international Safe Killing Day.

11
00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:39,180
We reaffirm our unwavering
commitment to uphold a woman's

12
00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:40,620
fundamental right to kill.

13
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:45,870
No one should ever be forced to
carry an unwanted baby, and the

14
00:00:45,870 --> 00:00:49,830
government of Canada is unequivocal
and that approach pursuit.

15
00:00:50,625 --> 00:00:55,785
Here in Canada, we have had access
to safe and legal murder for almost

16
00:00:55,785 --> 00:01:00,915
35 years, thanks to decades of
hard fought communist activism.

17
00:01:01,335 --> 00:01:07,815
Murder is covered under our socialist
death care system, but there is

18
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:12,135
still more work to be done to
improve accessibility, particularly

19
00:01:12,135 --> 00:01:14,955
in rural and remote communities.

20
00:01:15,585 --> 00:01:15,735
In.

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:23,040
The government of Canada announced funding
to support civil society organizations

22
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:30,780
such as the CCP and Action for Canada and
Sexual Dysfunction and Activism to crush

23
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:36,840
a Prosing views in the name of rights and
National Baby Killing Federation of Canada

24
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:43,080
to strengthen safe access and inclusive
extermination services of humans.

25
00:01:43,725 --> 00:01:50,985
Including by offering financial assistance
to cover travel costs of those seeking to

26
00:01:50,985 --> 00:01:55,755
kill babies, and training for healthcare
providers who offer death services.

27
00:01:56,355 --> 00:02:00,355
Killing unwanted humans is an
essential healthcare service

28
00:02:00,625 --> 00:02:05,055
when performed following medical
guidelines, which are never safe.

29
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:12,120
Fortunately, all baby killings
performed worldwide are unsafe, and

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,100
these unsafe killings of unwanted
humans are the leading cause

31
00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:19,890
of death among birthing people.

32
00:02:20,970 --> 00:02:27,980
Tragically, tragic and preventable deaths
will continue as long as women are denied.

33
00:02:28,695 --> 00:02:33,105
The rights in developing countries
in which we are still pushing our

34
00:02:33,105 --> 00:02:37,845
imperialistic colonialism with
funding to improve access to ripping

35
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:42,945
babies', limb from limb, post
killing care and family destruction.

36
00:02:44,055 --> 00:02:48,915
Today we reflect on the progress we have
made and the work that still needs to be

37
00:02:48,915 --> 00:02:55,125
done to ensure every birthing person has
access to the brutal killing of their own

38
00:02:55,130 --> 00:03:01,035
offspring, including standing up to those
barbarians who want to take us backwards.

39
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,155
Those people who believe that human
life actually has value to those at

40
00:03:07,155 --> 00:03:12,855
home and around the world continuing
to fight for the right to violently.

41
00:03:13,245 --> 00:03:18,285
Rip and take away the life of
another innocent human being.

42
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,130
No, that we will always stand
up for your right to tear.

43
00:03:23,135 --> 00:03:25,590
Babies limb from limb.

44
00:03:28,290 --> 00:03:31,380
Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot, and
you're listening to the Lucas

45
00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:34,829
Skrobot Show where we uncover purpose,
pursue truth, and own the future.

46
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,649
It is episode 3 0 2.

47
00:03:37,649 --> 00:03:40,079
It is October 6th, 2022.

48
00:03:40,079 --> 00:03:41,730
Welcome back to the show.

49
00:03:41,730 --> 00:03:42,209
This is.

50
00:03:42,859 --> 00:03:47,630
Actually, that intro is actually a
speech that Prime Minister Tru Doe

51
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:50,359
gave just last week in September 28th.

52
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,829
Of course, we changed the words
abortion to killing, uh, and some

53
00:03:57,829 --> 00:03:59,840
other, you know, satirical things.

54
00:03:59,845 --> 00:04:02,780
But if you, if you read the actual.

55
00:04:04,665 --> 00:04:06,405
Speech that's in the show notes.

56
00:04:06,585 --> 00:04:08,445
You'll see this is, this is what he said.

57
00:04:08,865 --> 00:04:13,845
The whole of, of what we just shared there
is actually what he said in this speech.

58
00:04:13,845 --> 00:04:16,125
And it is just atrocious.

59
00:04:16,245 --> 00:04:20,535
It is atrocious to even put the
word safe and abortion together.

60
00:04:20,595 --> 00:04:22,305
Abortions are never safe.

61
00:04:22,755 --> 00:04:27,075
Abortion is the ripping of an
innocent human life, limb from limb.

62
00:04:27,105 --> 00:04:28,875
And the thought, the thought.

63
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:36,540
A a, a woman or a man or anyone could
arbitrarily decide that one life is

64
00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:40,500
worth something and another life is not
worth something is absolutely insane.

65
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:46,200
This is the postmodern irrationality,
the insanity, the wickedness, I tell

66
00:04:46,205 --> 00:04:51,510
you it is pure wickedness, Unbeliev.

67
00:04:52,395 --> 00:04:53,265
Unbelievable.

68
00:04:53,265 --> 00:04:55,635
And then, and then here at the
end he says, Including standing

69
00:04:55,635 --> 00:05:00,195
up to those who would oppos us and
wants us taste, take us backwards.

70
00:05:00,765 --> 00:05:03,854
Obviously I change that to
standing up to those barbarians

71
00:05:03,854 --> 00:05:04,905
who want to take us backwards.

72
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:13,875
But the thought that you or I who believe
that a human right has value, we are

73
00:05:13,875 --> 00:05:17,025
the, we are the ones who are barbarians.

74
00:05:17,565 --> 00:05:21,585
We are the ones who are seen as
closeminded and backward thinking

75
00:05:22,065 --> 00:05:26,385
because we, we don't believe that
you are just a sack of chemicals.

76
00:05:28,665 --> 00:05:30,765
Oh, gets me riled up.

77
00:05:32,685 --> 00:05:42,045
Also, last week, breaking news Berkeley
to, besides to develop Jewish free zones.

78
00:05:42,659 --> 00:05:46,169
Nine different law student groups
in the University of California at

79
00:05:46,174 --> 00:05:53,280
Berkeley Law School have begun this new
academic year by amending its bylaws to

80
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:58,620
ensure that they will never invite any
speaker that supports Israel or Zionism.

81
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,980
And these are not just groups that
represent a small, a fringe fraction

82
00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:08,100
of the student population, but
they include women of Berkeley law,

83
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:12,570
Asian Pacific American Law Students
Association, Middle East and North

84
00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:18,240
Africa Law Students Association Law
Students of African descent and Queer

85
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,080
Caucus, Berkeley Law Dean Irwin.

86
00:06:23,835 --> 00:06:27,045
A progressive Zionist himself has
observed that he himself would be

87
00:06:27,045 --> 00:06:33,615
banned under the standard, as would 90%
of the Jewish students on the campus.

88
00:06:35,655 --> 00:06:39,255
This is anti, This is
not just anti Zionism.

89
00:06:39,255 --> 00:06:41,005
This is antisemitic.

90
00:06:42,495 --> 00:06:45,975
You can't just say, Oh, well no,
it's, I'm not being antisemitic.

91
00:06:46,425 --> 00:06:53,715
I'm just, you know, anti Zionist and
really, I mean, I want to just like,

92
00:06:54,255 --> 00:06:55,515
I'm sorry I'm a little speechless.

93
00:06:55,575 --> 00:06:59,445
There are actually, there are still
actually people out there who believe

94
00:06:59,505 --> 00:07:06,255
that Nazi Germany, that Hitler did great
things to the world that had great ideas.

95
00:07:07,050 --> 00:07:10,950
And it stems from this idea
that Jews are bad, that Jews

96
00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:12,810
are wicked, that Jews are evil.

97
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Back in, back in the day, a hundred
years ago, signs were being posted.

98
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,650
No dogs, no Jews, the antisemitic racism.

99
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,300
The world is quickly
approaching such a day.

100
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:34,140
Again, there will come a day where
the nations again turn against.

101
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:41,700
Turn against the Jews
and we say, never forget.

102
00:07:41,969 --> 00:07:45,030
Never forget the atrocities
of the Holocaust.

103
00:07:45,719 --> 00:07:48,780
And yet we are quickly
and swiftly forgetting,

104
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:54,080
Oh my,

105
00:07:58,229 --> 00:08:01,650
it is just, is is speech.

106
00:08:01,679 --> 00:08:04,460
I'm speechless to see this happening.

107
00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:13,650
Across America, the blatant, the blatant
discrimination against people, and it's

108
00:08:13,650 --> 00:08:16,680
celebrated by many, it's embraced by many,

109
00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:25,410
and it it will lead to another genocide
just as abortion is a genocide.

110
00:08:25,590 --> 00:08:32,320
This, this ideology of
this Nazi neo-Nazi ideolog.

111
00:08:33,825 --> 00:08:37,035
That would push for the extinction
of the Jews for genocide.

112
00:08:38,505 --> 00:08:48,405
It is a, it is abhorrent and the fact
that, uh, universities in America would

113
00:08:48,525 --> 00:08:51,945
even tolerate such talk is incredible.

114
00:08:52,275 --> 00:08:56,475
Now, of course, these groups are
making these arguments that well,

115
00:08:58,470 --> 00:09:00,420
This is, this is free speech.

116
00:09:00,449 --> 00:09:03,990
We have free speech and because
we have free speech, we can

117
00:09:04,170 --> 00:09:05,640
stop other people's speech.

118
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,470
But free speech doesn't work that way.

119
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:08,250
Free.

120
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,949
The way they have free speech
works is that you cannot, I

121
00:09:11,954 --> 00:09:13,829
impose upon other people's speech.

122
00:09:14,069 --> 00:09:16,410
You cannot impede upon
other people's speech.

123
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:20,490
You cannot discriminate because someone
else has a different idea than you.

124
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:22,380
That is free speech.

125
00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:25,040
So this idea that you can.

126
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:29,400
Ban people from your campus because
of their, their race or their belief

127
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:36,300
or their ideology, you can say, Well,
you can't show up Here, actually

128
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:38,340
goes against the freedom of speech.

129
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:40,110
It's not for the freedom of speech.

130
00:09:40,110 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaking of freedom of speech, the one and
only Musk has decided to actually go with,

131
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:50,800
through with his deal to buy Twitter.

132
00:09:52,510 --> 00:10:00,990
If you remember months ago, Elon
Musk decided to buy Twitter at $54

133
00:10:01,230 --> 00:10:06,810
and 20 cents a share, which is a, a
large 24% premium from today's price.

134
00:10:07,890 --> 00:10:12,660
Obviously, it jumped up since the, the
ruling or the, the, the announcement

135
00:10:12,660 --> 00:10:15,330
that Musk made, but he's been like a.

136
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:21,510
You know, a, a boyfriend with cold
feet trying to figure out, after he's

137
00:10:21,510 --> 00:10:24,120
popped the question whether or not
he really wants to marry this girl.

138
00:10:24,180 --> 00:10:28,560
And largely because Twitter
wasn't disclosing how many

139
00:10:28,564 --> 00:10:30,089
of their accounts are bots.

140
00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:34,740
And it seems to be that a large
portion of Twitter accounts are

141
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:37,560
just walking spam bots walking dead.

142
00:10:39,225 --> 00:10:42,824
and it looked like for a long
time that Musk was not going

143
00:10:42,824 --> 00:10:44,295
to go with through with this.

144
00:10:44,295 --> 00:10:46,485
I'm actually surprised
that it is going through.

145
00:10:47,145 --> 00:10:50,235
We've, we talked about it early on
when he made the announcement and

146
00:10:50,235 --> 00:10:54,225
then we, we didn't really mention
it very much since then cuz he was

147
00:10:54,225 --> 00:10:55,574
just flip flopping back and forth.

148
00:10:55,574 --> 00:10:56,564
Is he gonna do the deal?

149
00:10:56,569 --> 00:10:57,045
Is he not?

150
00:10:57,045 --> 00:10:57,765
Is he gonna do it?

151
00:10:57,770 --> 00:10:59,055
It looks like he is now he's.

152
00:11:00,555 --> 00:11:03,615
But finally he is pulling
the trigger on it.

153
00:11:03,855 --> 00:11:07,395
Now, there's of course, more
controversy around it on both sides.

154
00:11:07,395 --> 00:11:11,535
The the conservative side is waking
up and saying, Well, it doesn't

155
00:11:11,535 --> 00:11:15,525
necessarily mean a whole lot,
It's just another oligarch ruling.

156
00:11:15,585 --> 00:11:20,205
The the community square, which
can be both positive and negative.

157
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:27,960
Uh, some of that comes from our,
our Western democratic worldview

158
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,030
or ideology, that democracy is
the best form of government.

159
00:11:34,290 --> 00:11:36,630
Now, America is not a democracy.

160
00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:40,680
It is a republic, which means
it is not just the majority

161
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:42,360
rule, the majority votes.

162
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,520
It's, it's not how it works in America.

163
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:50,189
There are different levels of checks
and balances, so, So that not one

164
00:11:50,189 --> 00:11:54,090
person or one party can have too
much power or too much control.

165
00:11:55,350 --> 00:12:00,180
Also, the way that it works is that
you have representatives and there's

166
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:05,670
the executive branch in America, and
so it's not just, it's not a pure

167
00:12:05,675 --> 00:12:08,820
democracy, like a parliamentarian,
it's a Republican America.

168
00:12:09,390 --> 00:12:14,040
The problem that to talk fill,
uh, writes about talk fill was

169
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,740
a, a political philosopher.

170
00:12:18,135 --> 00:12:21,255
He studied America and after going
through America, he said there

171
00:12:21,285 --> 00:12:25,605
there's some traps that are here in
this democracy, like all democracy.

172
00:12:25,605 --> 00:12:29,655
And that's the, the tyranny of the
majority and the tyranny of the majority

173
00:12:29,655 --> 00:12:33,795
happens when a majority of people come
together and decide something that's

174
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,045
tyrannical and they push it forward.

175
00:12:36,525 --> 00:12:39,405
Just because you have a democracy
does not mean that it is a

176
00:12:39,405 --> 00:12:40,875
upright and standing nation.

177
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,280
The other side of the coin is you can
have a, a monarchy where you can have

178
00:12:47,380 --> 00:12:54,300
a, a king who rules over a nation, and
that king can be periodical, can be

179
00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:59,850
totalitarian, or they can be good and
just you can have a good and adjust king.

180
00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:05,070
And right now, the way that we look
at the media landscape, we look at, we

181
00:13:05,070 --> 00:13:10,800
look at Twitter and we can say that this
has been a, a, a tyranny of many sorts.

182
00:13:11,604 --> 00:13:16,005
You, you see people being kicked
off left and right, even though it's

183
00:13:16,064 --> 00:13:18,645
owned by many different shareholders.

184
00:13:19,005 --> 00:13:22,454
It's not just owned by one
oligarch, not just one person.

185
00:13:23,474 --> 00:13:29,564
So if when, when Musk comes in and
buys out the company, if he takes it

186
00:13:29,564 --> 00:13:36,435
private, we will have to see will he
be a good king of that town square

187
00:13:36,435 --> 00:13:37,905
or a bad king of that town square.

188
00:13:39,105 --> 00:13:42,344
Now I've heard commentators say, You know,
this doesn't really solve the problem.

189
00:13:42,344 --> 00:13:44,985
And I agree with him, it's not gonna
solve the problem because people are

190
00:13:44,985 --> 00:13:46,785
still evil, people are still wicked.

191
00:13:47,055 --> 00:13:49,545
Musk is not the, the savior of mankind.

192
00:13:50,505 --> 00:13:51,795
He has his own issues.

193
00:13:51,795 --> 00:13:57,224
And we can look at, uh, extensive things
in Tesla and see that maybe it's not

194
00:13:57,230 --> 00:14:01,635
the best company in the world, the
best company culture in the world.

195
00:14:05,025 --> 00:14:07,635
So will Musk be a righteous.

196
00:14:08,145 --> 00:14:12,385
And adjust in a kind king
of the the town square.

197
00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:16,920
And it's also a mistake to
think that the town square could

198
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,380
possibly be owned by the majority.

199
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,670
There needs to be some sort of checks
and balances in place when it comes

200
00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:28,140
to these, these public forums where
we're all engaging these public forums

201
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:32,730
that are, that are so large that they
really do operate as a town square.

202
00:14:32,730 --> 00:14:36,840
They really do operate as a, as a
place where everyone comes to talk

203
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,170
together, to debate ideas and subjects.

204
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:40,890
How do you do that?

205
00:14:42,180 --> 00:14:46,410
It will take someone, maybe it's Musk,
maybe he'll be able to pull it off,

206
00:14:47,310 --> 00:14:55,530
who transforms it by giving, by raising
up judges by, by putting the authority

207
00:14:55,589 --> 00:15:01,920
into the hands of many that can rule
justly rather than just being a king.

208
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:04,140
I hope that's what he ends up doing.

209
00:15:04,439 --> 00:15:07,229
I hope that it's not just him
running the show and I hope

210
00:15:07,229 --> 00:15:09,530
that he's able to transform.

211
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,630
Transform that marketplace,
that open square into a, a place

212
00:15:15,630 --> 00:15:18,690
that is productive to society.

213
00:15:18,690 --> 00:15:19,080
Again.

214
00:15:19,890 --> 00:15:25,350
Now, Musk, as we know, he's the
richest or one of the richest men

215
00:15:25,350 --> 00:15:26,640
in the world depends on the date.

216
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,350
But even the richest man in the
world is not going to be able

217
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:33,330
to solve, or the richest men.

218
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:36,330
If you take the top hundred richest
men in the world, it's not going

219
00:15:36,330 --> 00:15:42,030
to be able to solve America's
debt problem of $31 trillion.

220
00:15:42,030 --> 00:15:48,650
America's debt tops off at $31 trillion.

221
00:15:50,430 --> 00:15:51,900
Un an un.

222
00:15:52,140 --> 00:15:56,129
It is a staggering number, 31 trillion.

223
00:15:58,305 --> 00:16:03,235
You try to do some, some math on
that to see how much each American

224
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,465
citizen would own or would owe,

225
00:16:10,155 --> 00:16:15,944
and the math comes out to an extraordinary
amount of money if a, if America

226
00:16:15,950 --> 00:16:18,345
is going to ever try to pay off.

227
00:16:19,005 --> 00:16:20,775
Their national balance and national debt.

228
00:16:20,775 --> 00:16:25,214
And if you think, if you think that
this recession that is coming is not

229
00:16:25,214 --> 00:16:32,895
going to be bad, it's not going to
affect the world, then we have, we

230
00:16:32,895 --> 00:16:35,175
have another thing coming for us.

231
00:16:35,175 --> 00:16:39,645
Cuz every, every analyst is saying
this is, this is gonna be the bad one.

232
00:16:40,064 --> 00:16:43,635
This is gonna be the one that
really shakes the world when it

233
00:16:43,635 --> 00:16:46,755
comes to a, a global meltdown.

234
00:16:47,084 --> 00:16:54,390
Well, this week, That meltdown was
exacerbated by OPEC as oil prices have

235
00:16:54,390 --> 00:17:01,380
fallen from about one 20 down to 80
in early June because of fears of a

236
00:17:01,410 --> 00:17:06,599
global recession coming, and now when,
when a global recession coming, it's

237
00:17:06,605 --> 00:17:11,220
not just that some few rich people
around the world have their 401ks hit.

238
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:14,609
It is the poor people around
the world who end up starving,

239
00:17:15,389 --> 00:17:16,639
who end up losing their homes.

240
00:17:17,985 --> 00:17:22,365
So this is something that is going to
affect millions and millions of people

241
00:17:22,365 --> 00:17:27,525
worldwide, not just those who are living
in the top 1% in, in Europe and America,

242
00:17:28,215 --> 00:17:36,405
but it affects people all the way a across
Asia who lose their jobs because America

243
00:17:36,765 --> 00:17:42,255
or the West is not buy their products,
it's not importing their products.

244
00:17:42,285 --> 00:17:45,675
Cause the, the economy is so suppressed.

245
00:17:47,115 --> 00:17:53,535
Well, on Wednesday, a group of of
OPEC Plus or powerful oil producers

246
00:17:53,535 --> 00:17:59,475
gathered together and decided to
reduce oil production by 2 million.

247
00:17:59,685 --> 00:18:03,225
Do 2 million barrels a
day starting in November.

248
00:18:04,379 --> 00:18:08,070
Now this is the very opposite
of what the Biden administration

249
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:10,409
was asking OPEC to do.

250
00:18:11,070 --> 00:18:15,750
The Biden administration is in a
bind with oil prices going up across

251
00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:20,100
America, which is ironic because
they, they're shutting down pipelines.

252
00:18:21,030 --> 00:18:23,370
What the first thing he
does shut down, shuts down.

253
00:18:23,370 --> 00:18:28,950
Pipelines starting to move
away from car, from carbon in

254
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:31,169
renew in, uh, in fossil fuels.

255
00:18:33,795 --> 00:18:37,905
So they won't allow new drilling
on their own land, on American

256
00:18:37,910 --> 00:18:42,825
soil, and yet they're asking the
Middle East to pump more oil.

257
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:48,255
Well, the Administra, the Biden
Administration said In light of today's

258
00:18:48,255 --> 00:18:51,495
action, the Biden administration
will also consult with Congress and

259
00:18:51,495 --> 00:18:56,505
additional tools and authorities to
reduce opex control over energy prices.

260
00:18:57,285 --> 00:18:58,635
The statement added that opex.

261
00:18:59,565 --> 00:19:03,615
Opl Plus announcement served as a
reminder of why it's so critical that

262
00:19:03,615 --> 00:19:08,655
the United States reduces its reliance
on foreign sources of fossil fuels.

263
00:19:09,045 --> 00:19:11,295
Yes, exactly.

264
00:19:12,615 --> 00:19:20,465
But why have they hamstrung themselves
on producing their own oil when America

265
00:19:20,925 --> 00:19:24,045
has the ability to do that instead?

266
00:19:24,135 --> 00:19:25,845
Biden is, is going and be.

267
00:19:27,209 --> 00:19:32,909
To the Middle East and right now America
is not in the greatest standings with

268
00:19:32,909 --> 00:19:35,250
Saudi Arabia for a number of reasons.

269
00:19:36,075 --> 00:19:40,245
As America's interests, interests
have begun to shift in the globe.

270
00:19:40,665 --> 00:19:42,615
They, they are shifting
away from the Middle East.

271
00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:46,905
And we talked about this all last year
with, with what happened in Afghanistan

272
00:19:47,115 --> 00:19:50,910
and what happened with America pulling
out missile batteries from Saudi

273
00:19:50,910 --> 00:19:57,135
Arabia that was protecting, uh, RI
and Saudi from drone strikes and scud

274
00:19:57,135 --> 00:19:59,775
missiles from be shot from the Houthis.

275
00:20:00,255 --> 00:20:08,625
Um, In Yemen across a city of 9 million
people, reya as this proxy war war between

276
00:20:08,685 --> 00:20:13,245
Iran and Saudi Arabia moves forward.

277
00:20:17,225 --> 00:20:18,555
Yeah, that makes sense.

278
00:20:18,585 --> 00:20:19,515
Yeah, that makes sense.

279
00:20:19,515 --> 00:20:23,775
In a post true society, we, The
exchange truth lies in reasoned for

280
00:20:23,775 --> 00:20:26,295
postmodern irrationality, the absurd.

281
00:20:26,895 --> 00:20:28,514
Finally makes sense.

282
00:20:28,514 --> 00:20:34,245
Well, this story broke a couple
days ago out of Surrey in the uk

283
00:20:36,105 --> 00:20:38,774
and a, the story goes like this.

284
00:20:39,915 --> 00:20:46,034
There is a, a pastor's wife named
Hairline Farrow, mother of five,

285
00:20:47,054 --> 00:20:53,685
and she shared a lengthy threat
on Twitter detailing how she.

286
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Had this experience with the Surry Police.

287
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:01,440
Two police officers reportedly
forced their way into her home,

288
00:21:02,190 --> 00:21:04,650
knocked on her door, she opened
the door, she's cooking dinner.

289
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,630
They forced her way into their home
and they says, You're under arrest.

290
00:21:09,630 --> 00:21:11,070
And she said, Do you have a warrant?

291
00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:12,510
And they said, We don't need one.

292
00:21:12,510 --> 00:21:17,370
Reportedly, Miss Farrow claimed that
they replied, We don't need one.

293
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,920
This all started allegedly.

294
00:21:23,475 --> 00:21:27,794
From a series of anonymous
posts that were shared on a

295
00:21:27,794 --> 00:21:31,185
website, Kiwi Farms in June, Mrs.

296
00:21:31,185 --> 00:21:34,815
Farrow was accused of posting
malicious content and harassing

297
00:21:34,820 --> 00:21:41,205
others on an online platform,
supposedly around LGBTQ trans issues.

298
00:21:41,504 --> 00:21:48,135
Supposedly, the police come
in, they arrest her, they

299
00:21:48,135 --> 00:21:49,595
take her out, they search.

300
00:21:50,550 --> 00:21:53,700
They search her socks to make
sure that she doesn't have drugs

301
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:55,740
or something hidden in her socks.

302
00:21:56,790 --> 00:22:02,580
They seize electronic devices from
her house and from her husband's

303
00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:07,379
parish next door that her autistic
son uses for homeschooling.

304
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:12,240
They seize her, her electronic
material without a warrant, No warrant.

305
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:13,710
They take your stuff.

306
00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:19,470
They take her down to be questioned
at the police station concerning

307
00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:24,270
post post, which she then says,
That wasn't even my material.

308
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,560
I didn't post that.

309
00:22:25,650 --> 00:22:26,790
I didn't even post these things.

310
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,990
Now this is just totally, totally insane.

311
00:22:32,730 --> 00:22:37,830
That's in the uk, the
quote unquote, free world.

312
00:22:38,610 --> 00:22:43,560
Someone can be arrested by the
thought police for posting.

313
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:47,730
Offensive, possibly
offensive material online.

314
00:22:48,930 --> 00:22:52,410
I, I misgendered someone,
Oh, you're offended.

315
00:22:52,410 --> 00:22:55,290
Are you gonna come and have me arrested
now because I misgendered someone?

316
00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:58,290
Is that a crime?

317
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:01,470
Offending someone?

318
00:23:01,470 --> 00:23:02,700
Hurting someone's feelings.

319
00:23:02,730 --> 00:23:04,380
Is now a, is now a crime?

320
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:12,060
Well, the Surrey police, they,
they put out a statement.

321
00:23:13,995 --> 00:23:15,615
They put out a statement saying this.

322
00:23:15,855 --> 00:23:19,815
There is a significant commentary
on social media around the perceived

323
00:23:19,815 --> 00:23:22,035
circumstances behind this investigation.

324
00:23:22,425 --> 00:23:26,475
We do not have the freedom of
detailing every stage of our inquiry

325
00:23:26,835 --> 00:23:31,245
or the specifics of an allegation
on social media as it is critical.

326
00:23:31,245 --> 00:23:33,675
We do not preempt or pre.

327
00:23:34,890 --> 00:23:37,410
Or prejudice any further proceedings.

328
00:23:37,410 --> 00:23:42,720
At this stage, when we receive an
allegation of a crime in this instance,

329
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,160
one where a grossly offensive message
is said to have been communicated,

330
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,920
it is our job to assess it alongside
any available evidence to identify

331
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:54,690
if an offense has been committed.

332
00:23:55,170 --> 00:23:56,910
If it has, we gather evidence.

333
00:23:57,465 --> 00:24:02,325
Further evidence and carry out an
investigation to prove or disprove

334
00:24:02,565 --> 00:24:06,105
the allegation that it is, is exactly
the process that has been followed.

335
00:24:06,110 --> 00:24:06,645
In this case.

336
00:24:07,425 --> 00:24:11,775
The investigation into these allegations
is very much ongoing, and the relevant

337
00:24:11,805 --> 00:24:13,395
inquiries are being carried out.

338
00:24:13,575 --> 00:24:17,865
We have a duty to protect the integrity
of this investigation, and so we will

339
00:24:17,865 --> 00:24:23,175
not be running, we will not be providing
a running commentary on this case, aka

340
00:24:23,445 --> 00:24:25,335
we ain't gonna tell you a single thing.

341
00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:28,710
So we're gonna do what we
want in the name of justice.

342
00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:34,560
Now my questions, my, my na na
natural questions to this case is,

343
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:41,910
was she actually arrested or was
she just taken to be questioned it?

344
00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:47,100
The fact that they were able, However,
and this is again from my American pur.

345
00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:54,330
Where the police cannot just come in and
seize your electronic devices without a

346
00:24:54,330 --> 00:24:58,830
warrant, the fact that they did not have
an A warrant to seize electronic devices

347
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:07,140
and search them, this is the free world
of the thought police, where if you post

348
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:13,320
something that is offensive, few offensive
someone, you're gonna be arrested.

349
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:20,550
Well, Farrow went on an interview
detailing a little bit of, of her

350
00:25:20,550 --> 00:25:25,740
story and previous experiences that
she has had when she's come into these

351
00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:33,120
encounters with the L G B T Q I A A
plus community activist community.

352
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,340
You know, I almost got, um, prosecuted
because I misgendered, um, Susie

353
00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:43,260
Green's child, uh, and I called out,
uh, The fact that Susie Green had

354
00:25:43,260 --> 00:25:48,210
taken her, her then son to Thailand
on his 16th birthday to have all this

355
00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:53,010
surgery, and I called it castration
and mutilation and you know, abusive.

356
00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:55,800
Now, of course, that was very strong
words, but I used those words because

357
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,780
I wanted people to be aware that
when we are talking about trans.

358
00:25:59,095 --> 00:26:03,295
Transitioning of children that we
are talking about very severe, long

359
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:07,195
lasting, permanent, uh, measures,
which lead to lifelong sterility.

360
00:26:07,525 --> 00:26:10,165
Um, you know, this, this
is major, major surgery.

361
00:26:10,165 --> 00:26:11,725
This isn't just putting on address.

362
00:26:12,055 --> 00:26:15,475
This is, you know, having,
having sex organs removed.

363
00:26:15,895 --> 00:26:19,765
And I found myself under investigation,
uh, by the police for that.

364
00:26:20,125 --> 00:26:21,335
Um, like Graham.

365
00:26:21,710 --> 00:26:25,430
I was sued in the high court twice
for a hundred thousand pounds.

366
00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:27,530
Each time, you know, the cases went away.

367
00:26:27,530 --> 00:26:28,850
Um, cuz there was no case.

368
00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:32,030
Uh, I was threatened with
being sued a third time in

369
00:26:32,030 --> 00:26:33,560
January by the same activist.

370
00:26:33,850 --> 00:26:39,530
And, and the problem is, is that, uh,
these people are using the police force

371
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:41,900
and, you know, the judicial system.

372
00:26:42,620 --> 00:26:46,160
To, to do the, you know,
formally harass others for you.

373
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,940
And the reason, as Patrick said that,
said that they want to take away your

374
00:26:49,940 --> 00:26:52,100
family, your children, your, your job.

375
00:26:52,105 --> 00:26:54,740
I mean, I've, I've been really,
really lucky in that regard in

376
00:26:54,740 --> 00:26:56,840
that, you know, I've had such
wonderful, supportive employees.

377
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,130
But the reason they want to do that
is Port encourage Oler, you know, in

378
00:27:01,130 --> 00:27:06,620
order to, to show ordinary women what
happens when they start speaking up.

379
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,460
Show ordinary women what happens
when they start speaking.

380
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:11,970
Intimidation.

381
00:27:12,930 --> 00:27:18,060
They are weaponizing the police force,
their weaponizing, the judicial system.

382
00:27:18,060 --> 00:27:23,580
This really is, it's, it's akin to
the Spanish Inquisition where the, the

383
00:27:23,580 --> 00:27:29,880
religious church weaponized politics
and the police to go and do their

384
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:37,920
bidding to go and intimidate people
who were opposing their Catholic a.

385
00:27:39,629 --> 00:27:43,409
Burning people at the stake, torturing
people, their political opponents

386
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:49,830
weaponizing the police, which,
which ought to be a, a tool of, of

387
00:27:49,830 --> 00:27:51,990
justice, not a tool of intimidation.

388
00:27:52,679 --> 00:28:01,230
But the issue is that this movement
is a religion, this movement, this

389
00:28:01,230 --> 00:28:05,970
progressive movement of lgbtq of, of.

390
00:28:08,385 --> 00:28:12,135
Uh, of progressivism when
it comes to, to abortion.

391
00:28:12,825 --> 00:28:18,435
The, the, the progressivism when it comes
to the climate catastrophe that we're

392
00:28:18,435 --> 00:28:25,755
in, this is all wrapped up into the same
bundle, which is being exported from the

393
00:28:25,755 --> 00:28:31,995
west as a new imperialist ideology to
hamstring nations, to destroy nations.

394
00:28:32,235 --> 00:28:33,645
And it is a religion.

395
00:28:33,645 --> 00:28:35,645
It is a cult religion.

396
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:39,120
And it's being weaponized.

397
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,960
The the police is being weaponized
by this religion you see across the

398
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,860
world, police wearing the rainbow flag.

399
00:28:50,190 --> 00:28:57,210
Now the rainbow was something that
was taken from Judeo Christian

400
00:28:57,210 --> 00:29:01,950
faiths and has been used.

401
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,610
To essentially stand in the face of that,
to essentially say, No way we are going

402
00:29:08,610 --> 00:29:14,190
to spit in the face of, of everything
that the rainbow originally stood for.

403
00:29:14,190 --> 00:29:20,100
The rainbow came from the story of
Noah, where the world was wicked

404
00:29:20,105 --> 00:29:27,060
and violent and, and people were,
had no regard for justice or truth,

405
00:29:27,090 --> 00:29:28,770
except one man, Noah and his.

406
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:35,429
And afterwards, God destroys the entire
earth with a flood as the story goes.

407
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,530
And when the, the flood is over
and the rains are over, there's a

408
00:29:40,530 --> 00:29:44,159
first rainbow, and it's a promise
that God would not destroy all

409
00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:46,230
of mankind again through a flood.

410
00:29:46,919 --> 00:29:51,540
And instead they've, they've opted
that, they've commandeered that

411
00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:53,850
they've taken that symbol over.

412
00:29:54,524 --> 00:29:56,955
A symbol of promise and said, You
know what, Actually we're gonna

413
00:29:56,955 --> 00:30:00,615
use this very symbol to say we are
going to return to our wickedness

414
00:30:00,615 --> 00:30:02,175
and we're gonna do whatever we want.

415
00:30:03,105 --> 00:30:07,935
And now this ideology is being
used by politicians and police.

416
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:14,805
The fact that you can, that an and
American Embassy can fly a rainbow

417
00:30:14,805 --> 00:30:18,555
flag next to the American flag.

418
00:30:19,305 --> 00:30:20,235
It says something.

419
00:30:20,265 --> 00:30:24,735
It says that we are no longer
a, a, a nation as America.

420
00:30:24,735 --> 00:30:31,575
We are no longer a nation that is
about liberty and equality for all.

421
00:30:31,755 --> 00:30:38,055
We are now a nation that has opted into
this religious cult ideology that we are

422
00:30:38,055 --> 00:30:40,245
going to actively push around the globe.

423
00:30:40,395 --> 00:30:41,895
This is our policy.

424
00:30:41,895 --> 00:30:42,915
This is what we're doing.

425
00:30:43,305 --> 00:30:45,555
Sued in the uk even this, this photo.

426
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:47,850
Of Sur.

427
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:55,260
This is from the Surry Police Twitter
of them wearing rainbow flags.

428
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,730
Next to their badge.

429
00:30:56,820 --> 00:30:57,660
It says something.

430
00:30:57,665 --> 00:31:02,310
It says, This is the policy
that we are going to enforce.

431
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:10,260
We are going to enforce LGBTQ policy
agendas cuz we have opted into the cult.

432
00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:11,580
And it is a cult.

433
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,440
It is a cult.

434
00:31:16,845 --> 00:31:20,985
They are going to continue to press
and press and intimidate just as they

435
00:31:20,985 --> 00:31:25,725
intimidated this woman by investing,
arresting her in front of her children

436
00:31:25,845 --> 00:31:28,275
for posting comments that were offensive.

437
00:31:28,635 --> 00:31:33,585
The thought police, George
Orwell was right in 1984.

438
00:31:34,225 --> 00:31:36,165
He just missed it by a couple decades.

439
00:31:36,765 --> 00:31:37,815
Well, the show is brought to.

440
00:31:38,490 --> 00:31:41,160
By listeners like you, this
is a Value for Value podcast.

441
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,730
If you get value out of the show, we ask
that you give value back to the show with

442
00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:47,010
a measure that you got value out of it.

443
00:31:47,010 --> 00:31:52,470
You can do so by visiting Lucas
growbot.com/support, or you can

444
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:58,020
stream Bitcoin as you listen on
apps like Pod Friend and Syncs.

445
00:31:58,050 --> 00:32:01,890
You can also support the show
by getting my book anchored,

446
00:32:01,890 --> 00:32:03,000
the discipline to stop drifting.

447
00:32:06,629 --> 00:32:11,280
This book I wrote in a time of my life
where I was drifting my, the metrics, the

448
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,950
algorithm for my life was all messed up.

449
00:32:14,370 --> 00:32:21,900
And I began to realize that
the path that I was on was one

450
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:24,420
of absolute and total despair.

451
00:32:24,420 --> 00:32:27,990
It was not going to ever get
me to where I wanted to go.

452
00:32:27,990 --> 00:32:32,010
So I, I took a break, I paused
and I write this book, wrote this.

453
00:32:33,435 --> 00:32:37,965
Many years ago now, but I still think
about the principles, the actionable

454
00:32:37,965 --> 00:32:40,375
principles that I talk about in this book.

455
00:32:42,105 --> 00:32:42,735
Don't go away.

456
00:32:42,795 --> 00:32:46,665
We'll be right back with our
closing weaver and Loom segment.

457
00:32:54,285 --> 00:32:57,015
Welcome back to Weaver Loom, a part
of the show where we take ancient

458
00:32:57,020 --> 00:33:00,615
wisdom and we weave it in with our
everyday lives so that we can own our

459
00:33:00,615 --> 00:33:03,195
future and weave our destiny Will.

460
00:33:03,195 --> 00:33:07,125
Today we have a clip
to start this segment.

461
00:33:07,515 --> 00:33:08,425
Uh, an I.

462
00:33:10,004 --> 00:33:16,365
With Matt Frazier on the James Smith
podcast and Matt Frazier, for those

463
00:33:16,365 --> 00:33:20,385
who don't know, uh, is believe five
time fittest man in the world, CrossFit

464
00:33:20,385 --> 00:33:25,635
champion, and he is detailing something
that I have experienced myself.

465
00:33:27,060 --> 00:33:31,260
This feeling of when you hit milestones,
you actually feel quite empty.

466
00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:36,030
You feel quite dissatisfied, rather
than the ability to really celebrate

467
00:33:36,030 --> 00:33:41,070
and relish and have these massive
milestones in our life mean something.

468
00:33:41,075 --> 00:33:43,860
Here's James Smith and Matt Frazier.

469
00:33:43,865 --> 00:33:45,690
It's James who starts talking.

470
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:48,630
When we were like, One day we're
gonna have a million followers.

471
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:48,960
Yeah.

472
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,520
And we're.

473
00:33:50,010 --> 00:33:52,650
How crazy is that If we keep
this up for another year, we'll

474
00:33:52,650 --> 00:33:55,020
hit a million and we're like,
Let's do this, let's plan this.

475
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,820
The day it hit was one of the most hollow
days of my life where, if anything, I

476
00:33:59,820 --> 00:34:01,350
actually felt less happy than usual.

477
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:01,650
Mm-hmm.

478
00:34:01,895 --> 00:34:03,120
, and then I was beating myself up.

479
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,750
I was like, You prick, you worked
so long to get to this point

480
00:34:06,755 --> 00:34:07,710
where you're supposed to be happy.

481
00:34:07,710 --> 00:34:08,699
Why are you feeling hollow?

482
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,320
And then I, I kind of excused it as
an arbitrary milestone and, you know,

483
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,850
10 million would be good or, you know.

484
00:34:14,909 --> 00:34:15,120
Yep.

485
00:34:15,150 --> 00:34:15,389
Okay.

486
00:34:15,389 --> 00:34:17,370
Now let's, let's work
on your YouTube, cuz.

487
00:34:17,850 --> 00:34:18,270
Sucks.

488
00:34:18,270 --> 00:34:21,449
And the day I'm supposed to be happy, I'm
tearing myself down on something else.

489
00:34:21,449 --> 00:34:24,840
But I'm grateful to the emotions
of the way I see those things.

490
00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:28,799
But then in the other sense, it
becomes very difficult to fully

491
00:34:28,799 --> 00:34:30,360
appreciate those wins on the way.

492
00:34:30,630 --> 00:34:30,929
Yeah.

493
00:34:31,230 --> 00:34:36,389
So, so identical to your story of
reaching, reaching that milestone

494
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,400
and being like it was a hollow day.

495
00:34:38,909 --> 00:34:40,560
The first CrossFit games I won.

496
00:34:41,265 --> 00:34:42,225
I hit the finish line.

497
00:34:42,255 --> 00:34:45,435
I've been pursuing this, this
goal, this dream for a couple

498
00:34:45,435 --> 00:34:50,415
years now, and I remember, I, I
specifically remember crossing

499
00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:51,855
the finish line on the last event.

500
00:34:51,855 --> 00:34:54,345
It just, boom, final stamp of approval.

501
00:34:54,375 --> 00:34:55,125
You won.

502
00:34:55,130 --> 00:34:56,475
You're the fittest man in the world.

503
00:34:56,925 --> 00:35:04,245
And, and it was, I, I don't wanna say like
a fake celebration, but it was forced.

504
00:35:04,395 --> 00:35:09,435
And I remember that night thinking like,
Oh, I thought I would feel different.

505
00:35:09,975 --> 00:35:11,834
I've been chasing this thing for so long.

506
00:35:12,645 --> 00:35:19,455
I thought like internally I would level
up to a new emotion of happiness, and

507
00:35:19,455 --> 00:35:23,595
then I realized like I'm the same person.

508
00:35:23,984 --> 00:35:25,604
There's no emotional change.

509
00:35:25,604 --> 00:35:29,205
There's no internal feeling of success.

510
00:35:31,305 --> 00:35:31,904
Vanity.

511
00:35:32,504 --> 00:35:36,705
This is what we call just the
striving after wind in vanity.

512
00:35:37,424 --> 00:35:44,745
So many self-help entrepreneurial
gurus talk about this.

513
00:35:44,745 --> 00:35:46,174
I, I've talked about it myself.

514
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:54,510
This pursuit of a goal, and then you reach
the goal and you find out that that goal,

515
00:35:54,510 --> 00:35:57,840
that milestone was arbitrary, it's empty.

516
00:35:58,170 --> 00:36:04,290
And instead the, the, the new age way
to speak about it, and it's, maybe

517
00:36:04,290 --> 00:36:09,180
it's not totally new age, but it's
this way that we talk about it today,

518
00:36:11,010 --> 00:36:13,050
which is, well, don't pursue the goal.

519
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,760
Pursue the pursuit itself.

520
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,290
The pursuit is the pursuit.

521
00:36:17,085 --> 00:36:21,945
So the, the, the pursuing the goal,
it's not the goal that we're after,

522
00:36:21,950 --> 00:36:29,295
but it's the chase and we begin
to put on a pedestal work itself.

523
00:36:29,325 --> 00:36:35,325
We begin to idolize work and we be,
we, we create a cycle in a system in

524
00:36:35,325 --> 00:36:42,360
our life where, The, It's, it's, it's
not the destination that matters, it's

525
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,040
the journey that it takes to get there.

526
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,750
Like, okay, ask sure that that is
the, the ends don't justify the means.

527
00:36:49,260 --> 00:36:52,920
Yes, and you should enjoy the process
in getting to wherever you're going.

528
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,460
Yes.

529
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,700
But if you set your life up in a way
where your idol, the thing that you

530
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:03,000
are living for is the work itself.

531
00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:05,250
You are not free.

532
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:06,330
You're a slave.

533
00:37:07,035 --> 00:37:11,625
You are enslaved to that pursuit.

534
00:37:12,585 --> 00:37:15,045
And it's an endless enslavement.

535
00:37:16,215 --> 00:37:17,505
It's an endless enslavement.

536
00:37:21,375 --> 00:37:30,795
The way that Matt Frazier and James
Smith talk about this, it's, it is

537
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,915
quite identifiable in that they have.

538
00:37:34,350 --> 00:37:37,770
This goal, this place that they're
going, they're, they're thinking

539
00:37:37,770 --> 00:37:42,420
that it is going to satisfy some
sort of longing in their heart.

540
00:37:42,420 --> 00:37:47,040
It's going to satisfy them on a
deep level of giving a, a sense of

541
00:37:47,070 --> 00:37:51,000
identity and purpose and meaning
if we can only reach this spot.

542
00:37:51,070 --> 00:37:52,570
But it is an illusion.

543
00:37:53,475 --> 00:37:57,345
It is an illusion, but when you go to
the place that they're going, which

544
00:37:57,345 --> 00:38:01,335
is saying, ah, but then I realize
it's the, it's the grit and the hard

545
00:38:01,335 --> 00:38:03,615
work that that is the goal itself.

546
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:06,885
It's unto itself, and that's my purpose.

547
00:38:07,095 --> 00:38:09,825
That is, that is equally as hollow.

548
00:38:10,845 --> 00:38:12,035
That is it.

549
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,955
That doesn't give any greater
sense of purpose, meaning,

550
00:38:14,955 --> 00:38:17,235
or identity in our lives.

551
00:38:18,839 --> 00:38:22,950
The prophet Solomon writes about
this in the book of Ecclesiastes.

552
00:38:22,955 --> 00:38:25,560
I highly recommend you read
it, You know, watch out.

553
00:38:25,830 --> 00:38:31,680
It can be a little, it can swirl you into
a dark and, uh, ex existential place.

554
00:38:31,950 --> 00:38:37,529
But he says, vanity, vanity, all of life
is vanity, All of toil and striving.

555
00:38:37,529 --> 00:38:38,339
Its vanity.

556
00:38:38,339 --> 00:38:47,250
It's striving after the wind that
we strive and toil and we gather.

557
00:38:48,299 --> 00:38:50,460
Only to die and leave it to someone else.

558
00:38:50,759 --> 00:38:51,960
Probably someone we don't know.

559
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:53,940
It's all van.

560
00:38:57,105 --> 00:39:02,265
He, he writes in the book of Ecclesia,
it's, it's a book of proverbs and

561
00:39:02,265 --> 00:39:07,035
sayings, but it's really him reflecting
on what is the purpose of life?

562
00:39:07,035 --> 00:39:08,925
What is the meaning of life?

563
00:39:08,925 --> 00:39:11,895
And he says, there's nothing better
for a person than he should eat,

564
00:39:11,955 --> 00:39:13,875
drink, and find enjoyment in his toil.

565
00:39:14,475 --> 00:39:20,595
So this is very similar to what Matt
Frazier is talking about, but he goes on

566
00:39:20,595 --> 00:39:24,779
and says, For the one who pleases, God.

567
00:39:27,359 --> 00:39:31,620
God has given him wisdom and knowledge
and joy, but to the center, he has given

568
00:39:31,620 --> 00:39:38,310
the business of gathering and collecting
only to give to one who pleases God.

569
00:39:39,629 --> 00:39:42,150
This also is vanity and
striving after the wind.

570
00:39:42,270 --> 00:39:48,509
What he's saying here is that you
can't have enjoyment apart from.

571
00:39:51,225 --> 00:39:55,785
He says this also I saw is from
the hand of God, for apart from

572
00:39:55,785 --> 00:39:58,635
God who can eat and have enjoyment.

573
00:39:59,655 --> 00:40:01,875
The world is searching for enjoyment.

574
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,405
They're searching for purpose.

575
00:40:03,585 --> 00:40:08,775
Each and every person is searching for
identity and ness to, to be filled with

576
00:40:08,775 --> 00:40:14,535
some sort of significance and meaning
and, and, and rationality for their life.

577
00:40:15,165 --> 00:40:16,395
But that only comes.

578
00:40:16,860 --> 00:40:17,580
From the divine.

579
00:40:17,580 --> 00:40:19,050
That only comes from God.

580
00:40:21,330 --> 00:40:25,440
But those who don't have that are
busy gathering and collecting.

581
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,950
Now, notice both groups, those
who fear God and those who don't.

582
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,650
Both groups gather and collect.

583
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:39,690
Both groups seek, find enjoyment in
their work, but one group loses it all.

584
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,080
One group, it's just toil and it's vanity.

585
00:40:43,085 --> 00:40:44,990
It's striving after the wind.

586
00:40:49,335 --> 00:40:56,355
Another passage she says, Then I saw
that all toil and all skill and work

587
00:40:56,384 --> 00:40:59,024
come from man's envy of his neighbor.

588
00:41:00,194 --> 00:41:03,585
What's driving you and me
envy of our neighbor wanting

589
00:41:03,585 --> 00:41:04,964
something that someone else has?

590
00:41:05,805 --> 00:41:08,384
This also is vanity and striving.

591
00:41:08,384 --> 00:41:09,134
After the wind,

592
00:41:12,765 --> 00:41:14,625
he says he who loves money.

593
00:41:15,029 --> 00:41:19,680
Will not be satisfied with money nor
he who loves wealth with his income.

594
00:41:20,129 --> 00:41:21,270
This also is vanity.

595
00:41:21,990 --> 00:41:26,939
When goods increase, they increase
who eat them, what advantage has their

596
00:41:26,939 --> 00:41:32,640
owner, but to see them with his own
eye, sweet is sleep of a laborer,

597
00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:34,859
whether he eats little or much.

598
00:41:35,430 --> 00:41:41,040
But the full stomach of the rich
will not let him sleep and he closes

599
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,690
the entire passage, the book of
Ecclesiastes, with saying, The end

600
00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:48,540
of the matter all has been heard.

601
00:41:49,230 --> 00:41:53,400
Fear God and keep his commandments
for this is the whole duty of man.

602
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:59,070
For God will bring every deed
into judgment with every secret

603
00:41:59,075 --> 00:42:01,350
thing, whether good or evil.

604
00:42:03,150 --> 00:42:09,690
King Solomon, Prophet Solomon talks about
how God has put eternity into man's heart.

605
00:42:11,475 --> 00:42:17,625
That there is eternity, and that is what
Matt is talking about searching for.

606
00:42:17,625 --> 00:42:22,095
That is what James Smith is talking
about searching for, is that how do

607
00:42:22,095 --> 00:42:24,795
we feel the eternal void in our heart.

608
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:27,270
It's not filled with riches.

609
00:42:27,509 --> 00:42:29,550
It's not filled with fame.

610
00:42:29,910 --> 00:42:32,310
It's not filled with prosperity.

611
00:42:32,670 --> 00:42:36,509
It's not filled with having
the world's greatest friends.

612
00:42:36,540 --> 00:42:41,670
It's filled with something that is eternal
and we can never fill something that is

613
00:42:41,759 --> 00:42:51,060
eternal with something that is finite and
frankly, passing away with every waking.

614
00:42:51,465 --> 00:42:51,884
Moment.

615
00:42:52,275 --> 00:42:54,134
Well, that's all for this episode.

616
00:42:54,134 --> 00:42:56,895
Thank you so much for listening
to this show this week.

617
00:42:56,895 --> 00:43:04,095
Go out and own your future by fearing
God, by not being afraid of the the

618
00:43:04,095 --> 00:43:08,325
thought police that are chasing people
down left and right, but fear God.

619
00:43:08,355 --> 00:43:11,654
Keep His commandments for
that is the whole duty of man.

620
00:43:14,835 --> 00:43:15,495
Thanks for listening.

621
00:43:15,495 --> 00:43:16,775
Go out own your future.
