  • I mean, late 80s, i feel he became super.
  • 00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:28.184
  • I feel like i associate him
  • 00:00:28.184 --> 00:00:29.385
  • With the 90s walker, texas ranger.
  • 00:00:29.385 --> 00:00:31.821
  • I associate him, of course, with a lot of the internet
  • 00:00:31.821 --> 00:00:34.724
  • Humor that happened in the mid 2000.
  • 00:00:34.724 --> 00:00:36.493
  • And by then he was already a pretty old guy.
  • 00:00:36.493 --> 00:00:38.828
  • Quite the impressive figure.
  • 00:00:38.828 --> 00:00:41.498
  • Yeah.
  • 00:00:41.498 --> 00:00:42.065
  • So the octagon, 1980.
  • 00:00:42.065 --> 00:00:44.000
  • I for nine, 1981.
  • 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.502
  • Silent rage, 1982.
  • 00:00:45.502 --> 00:00:47.237
  • Lone wolf, wolf mcquade, 1983.
  • 00:00:47.237 --> 00:00:50.540
  • Missing in action one through three.
  • 00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:52.275
  • And that was from 85 to 88.
  • 00:00:52.275 --> 00:00:54.110
  • Code of silence. invasion. no.
  • 00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:55.812
  • One no one saw those movies.
  • 00:00:55.812 --> 00:00:57.046
  • And it's it's walker, texas ranger, man. yeah. wow.
  • 00:00:57.046 --> 00:01:00.250
  • That was the 90s.
  • 00:01:00.683 --> 00:01:01.718
  • Yeah, but that's because of your age.
  • 00:01:01.718 --> 00:01:03.253
  • So he actually,
  • 00:01:03.253 --> 00:01:05.221
  • He was one of the most accomplished karate champions
  • 00:01:05.221 --> 00:01:07.724
  • In the history of the sport.
  • 00:01:07.724 --> 00:01:09.359
  • Became a star with good guys, wear black.
  • 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.995
  • He actually was in scenes with bruce lee.
  • 00:01:11.995 --> 00:01:15.031
  • Bruce lee cast him in the 1972 film way of the dragon.
  • 00:01:15.031 --> 00:01:20.036
  • So there's those, clips right there.
  • 00:01:20.036 --> 00:01:22.272
  • So he he was, a phenomenal athlete
  • 00:01:22.272 --> 00:01:25.675
  • And actually an accomplished, martial artist.
  • 00:01:25.675 --> 00:01:28.978
  • And then he became a, you know, the a star.
  • 00:01:28.978 --> 00:01:33.082
  • And then he took it to walker, texas ranger, which ran 200
  • 00:01:33.082 --> 00:01:35.952
  • Episodes on cbs, which is pretty remarkable.
  • 00:01:35.952 --> 00:01:39.589
  • And even up until his 86th birthday, he posted a video
  • 00:01:39.589 --> 00:01:42.926
  • Training and sparring at 86.
  • 00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:45.962
  • So the guy was just machine.
  • 00:01:45.962 --> 00:01:48.498
  • I mean, to be doing that at 86 is special.
  • 00:01:48.498 --> 00:01:50.667
  • But obviously we don't just, like him because he was a,
  • 00:01:50.667 --> 00:01:54.938
  • You know, a martial arts, a movie star guy.
  • 00:01:54.938 --> 00:01:56.940
  • We like to highlight these guys.
  • 00:01:56.940 --> 00:01:58.708
  • He was a patriot, and i think i remember it actually
  • 00:01:58.708 --> 00:02:02.145
  • Catching a lot of people off guard because this was the
  • 00:02:02.145 --> 00:02:05.014
  • This is the bush era, which was a peak of everyone
  • 00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:08.051
  • In hollywood, every celebrity being left wing.
  • 00:02:08.051 --> 00:02:11.621
  • And this is when all the jokes are going down the internet.
  • 00:02:11.621 --> 00:02:13.790
  • If you're under 20, you may not know these things.
  • 00:02:13.790 --> 00:02:15.825
  • There was this whole
  • 00:02:15.825 --> 00:02:16.960
  • Trend of making, you know, viral chuck norris jokes.
  • 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.729
  • Like when chuck norris does a push up,
  • 00:02:19.729 --> 00:02:21.497
  • He's not pushing himself up.
  • 00:02:21.497 --> 00:02:22.999
  • He's pushing the earth down.
  • 00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:24.867
  • When chuck norris jumps in water, he doesn't get wet.
  • 00:02:24.867 --> 00:02:27.971
  • The water gets chuck norris.
  • 00:02:27.971 --> 00:02:29.172
  • There's like 100 of these different jokes.
  • 00:02:29.172 --> 00:02:31.341
  • And this is what passed for humor in the bush era.
  • 00:02:31.341 --> 00:02:33.910
  • But as i said, it was very it was a very liberal time.
  • 00:02:33.910 --> 00:02:37.580
  • Then very few celebrities,
  • 00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:39.582
  • Even if they were right leaning, would openly say so.
  • 00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:43.219
  • And then, it's 2000.
  • 00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:46.189
  • It's early 2008.
  • 00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:47.423
  • It's the primaries for the presidency.
  • 00:02:47.423 --> 00:02:49.292
  • And, mike huckabee,
  • 00:02:49.292 --> 00:02:52.061
  • Is running for president, making a longshot bid.
  • 00:02:52.061 --> 00:02:55.098
  • And he is, campaigning in iowa.
  • 00:02:55.098 --> 00:02:57.400
  • And it turns out that chuck norris
  • 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.869
  • Is a mike huckabee supporter.
  • 00:02:59.869 --> 00:03:01.404
  • And they cut one of the more memorable ads
  • 00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:04.374
  • I think we will ever see in,
  • 00:03:04.374 --> 00:03:06.309
  • The history of american politics.
  • 00:03:06.309 --> 00:03:07.977
  • So we just play it, it's clip number one.
  • 00:03:07.977 --> 00:03:10.613
  • My plan to secure the border towards chuck norris.
  • 00:03:10.613 --> 00:03:18.221
  • Mike huckabee's a lifelong hunter.
  • 00:03:18.955 --> 00:03:21.024
  • Go protect our second amendment rights.
  • 00:03:21.024 --> 00:03:23.459
  • There's no chain behind chuck norris is beard,
  • 00:03:23.459 --> 00:03:25.895
  • Only another fist.
  • 00:03:25.895 --> 00:03:27.430
  • Mike huckabee wants to put the irs out of business.
  • 00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:31.234
  • When chuck norris does a push up,
  • 00:03:31.234 --> 00:03:32.802
  • He isn't lifting himself up.
  • 00:03:32.802 --> 00:03:34.570
  • He's pushing the earth down.
  • 00:03:34.570 --> 00:03:36.873
  • Mike's a principled, authentic, conservative.
  • 00:03:36.873 --> 00:03:40.009
  • Chuck norris doesn't endorse.
  • 00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:42.512
  • He tells america how it's going to be.
  • 00:03:42.512 --> 00:03:47.216
  • I'm mike huckabee, and i approve this message.
  • 00:03:48.184 --> 00:03:50.586
  • So did chuck.
  • 00:03:50.586 --> 00:03:52.221
  • Chuck norris approved.
  • 00:03:52.221 --> 00:03:55.792
  • It's pretty good for 2008.
  • 00:03:56.359 --> 00:03:57.960
  • Yeah.
  • 00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:58.828
  • And i should add, you know, he was,
  • 00:03:58.828 --> 00:03:59.662
  • Chuck norris was, was a christian.
  • 00:03:59.662 --> 00:04:01.230
  • I think he wrote several.
  • 00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:02.231
  • I think he wrote christian books,
  • 00:04:02.231 --> 00:04:03.599
  • You know, in addition to any memoirs.
  • 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.135
  • But he
  • 00:04:06.135 --> 00:04:07.136
  • He also came he wrote eloquently
  • 00:04:07.136 --> 00:04:09.405
  • About his political beliefs for years.
  • 00:04:09.405 --> 00:04:11.541
  • And in 2016, he actually
  • 00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:13.976
  • Tried to rally everybody around president trump.
  • 00:04:13.976 --> 00:04:16.512
  • Obviously, this was an era of never trumpism.
  • 00:04:16.512 --> 00:04:19.082
  • The party was very divided.
  • 00:04:19.082 --> 00:04:20.817
  • It was sort of a hostile takeover
  • 00:04:20.817 --> 00:04:22.085
  • Of the conservative movement.
  • 00:04:22.085 --> 00:04:23.653
  • And he said if reluctant republicans and other freedom
  • 00:04:23.653 --> 00:04:26.589
  • Loving citizens don't rally now behind gop nominee
  • 00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:30.226
  • Donald trump,
  • 00:04:30.226 --> 00:04:31.294
  • We could elect hillary clinton by default or by those
  • 00:04:31.294 --> 00:04:33.996
  • Who merely stay home on election day.
  • 00:04:33.996 --> 00:04:36.866
  • And he said he'd only met trump once, 42 years
  • 00:04:36.866 --> 00:04:40.403
  • Prior, during his retirement
  • 00:04:40.403 --> 00:04:41.738
  • Event at the world martial arts champion.
  • 00:04:41.738 --> 00:04:44.073
  • That was it. quote.
  • 00:04:44.073 --> 00:04:45.975
  • I haven't seen or spoken to him since.
  • 00:04:45.975 --> 00:04:47.944
  • However, i will tell you, i liked him.
  • 00:04:47.944 --> 00:04:49.712
  • He was very friendly and sincere.
  • 00:04:49.712 --> 00:04:51.414
  • I truly believe that the people who have a negative
  • 00:04:51.414 --> 00:04:53.783
  • View of trump will be pleasantly surprised
  • 00:04:53.783 --> 00:04:55.551
  • When he becomes the leader of our country.
  • 00:04:55.551 --> 00:04:57.787
  • So chuck norris was not only courageous
  • 00:04:57.787 --> 00:05:01.491
  • When it came to fighting, in the in the octagon.
  • 00:05:01.491 --> 00:05:04.927
  • Well, i wasn't the octagon. it was a mix.
  • 00:05:04.927 --> 00:05:06.562
  • It was martial arts. he was a karate champion.
  • 00:05:06.562 --> 00:05:08.965
  • But he was courageous when it came to expressing his
  • 00:05:08.965 --> 00:05:11.634
  • His own beliefs.
  • 00:05:11.634 --> 00:05:12.502
  • The true american icon, dead at 86.
  • 00:05:12.502 --> 00:05:15.571
  • He will be missed.
  • 00:05:15.571 --> 00:05:16.572
  • I also want to pay attention to,
  • 00:05:16.572 --> 00:05:19.275
  • Or draw some of your attention to jeff webb.
  • 00:05:19.275 --> 00:05:22.445
  • Jeff webb was the founder of varsity brands.
  • 00:05:22.445 --> 00:05:25.415
  • He was a friend of charlie's, a friend of turning points.
  • 00:05:25.415 --> 00:05:28.217
  • He died at 76 yesterday.
  • 00:05:28.217 --> 00:05:29.952
  • Tragically, sporting accident.

  • And he is, it was just a dear, dear friend of mine,
  • 00:05:32.388 --> 00:05:36.359
  • For years.
  • 00:05:36.359 --> 00:05:37.593
  • Always faithful, always kind, always generous with his time.
  • 00:05:37.593 --> 00:05:41.531
  • Let's go ahead and play some clips.
  • 00:05:41.531 --> 00:05:43.099

  • 00:05:45.134 --> 00:05:47.703
  • Play cut for jeff webb and then the personification
  • 00:05:47.703 --> 00:05:51.774
  • Of the american dream.
  • 00:05:51.774 --> 00:05:52.975
  • I'm joined now by jeff webb, who is the founder and creator
  • 00:05:52.975 --> 00:05:56.479
  • Of varsity spirit
  • 00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:57.747
  • Body language and a show host.
  • 00:05:58.347 --> 00:06:01.484
  • Outstanding young people
  • 00:06:02.018 --> 00:06:04.287
  • To really present the.
  • 00:06:04.287 --> 00:06:07.757
  • He created a whole
  • 00:06:08.191 --> 00:06:09.492
  • Brand where none existed around high school.
  • 00:06:09.492 --> 00:06:12.395
  • Cheer created competitions, didn't do it to get rich.
  • 00:06:12.395 --> 00:06:16.399
  • He just wanted to give young people an opportunity
  • 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.635
  • Where they could have community,
  • 00:06:19.635 --> 00:06:21.370
  • Where they could share values, where they could compete.
  • 00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:24.073
  • And he's truly an all-american story of success.
  • 00:06:24.073 --> 00:06:27.543
  • Let's play cup five.
  • 00:06:27.543 --> 00:06:28.578
  • What drives us is doing something great
  • 00:06:28.578 --> 00:06:31.547
  • And building a great organization
  • 00:06:31.547 --> 00:06:33.316
  • And really making a contribution
  • 00:06:33.316 --> 00:06:35.585
  • To young people in this country.
  • 00:06:35.585 --> 00:06:37.019
  • Young people
  • 00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:38.087
  • Today are not lazy, as some people like to say.
  • 00:06:38.087 --> 00:06:40.490
  • Millennials just they're not lazy.
  • 00:06:40.490 --> 00:06:42.425
  • I work with thousands of them every year.
  • 00:06:42.425 --> 00:06:44.627
  • They're not lazy.
  • 00:06:44.627 --> 00:06:46.195
  • They just they just they need some help in finding their way,
  • 00:06:46.195 --> 00:06:49.832
  • And they need some help with our institutions
  • 00:06:49.832 --> 00:06:52.134
  • And making them more available to everybody.
  • 00:06:52.134 --> 00:06:55.304
  • That was,
  • 00:06:55.605 --> 00:06:56.739
  • It's a real big loss, for the turning point family.
  • 00:06:56.739 --> 00:06:59.308
  • Jeff webb been around for years.
  • 00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:02.478
  • As a matter of fact,
  • 00:07:02.478 --> 00:07:03.546
  • The first event i ever went to with turning point.
  • 00:07:03.546 --> 00:07:06.115
  • Charlie, jeff was there.
  • 00:07:06.115 --> 00:07:08.317
  • So, jeff, predates my time with charlie and turning point
  • 00:07:08.317 --> 00:07:11.921
  • And, a just a genuinely good hearted, kind man.
  • 00:07:11.921 --> 00:07:16.626
  • Generous man.
  • 00:07:16.626 --> 00:07:18.194
  • And again, passed away too soon at 76,
  • 00:07:18.194 --> 00:07:21.264
  • A sporting accident.
  • 00:07:21.264 --> 00:07:22.632
  • And, it's a reminder that
  • 00:07:22.632 --> 00:07:25.201
  • We never know when your time is going to come and to live
  • 00:07:25.201 --> 00:07:28.337
  • Each day to the fullest and, be grateful
  • 00:07:28.337 --> 00:07:32.108
  • For, for the time that we have with the people that we love.
  • 00:07:32.108 --> 00:07:35.678
  • A terrible reminder of it, genuinely.
  • 00:07:35.678 --> 00:07:37.780
  • He also, at one point was the publisher
  • 00:07:37.780 --> 00:07:40.149
  • And owner of the post millennial and human events.
  • 00:07:40.149 --> 00:07:42.785
  • So he was always in the fight.
  • 00:07:42.785 --> 00:07:48.006
  • So he was always in the fight.
  • 00:07:48.006 --> 00:07:54.097
  • There will be no
  • 00:07:54.498 --> 00:07:55.599
  • Post-presidential peace for donald trump.
  • 00:07:55.599 --> 00:07:57.434
  • They're actively plotting to impeach president.
  • 00:07:57.434 --> 00:08:00.003
  • You get into that
  • 00:08:00.003 --> 00:08:01.204
  • And just a section project because i mean we've got a lot.
  • 00:08:01.204 --> 00:08:04.942
  • So the one i want to hit,
  • 00:08:04.942 --> 00:08:06.276
  • There's there's endless reasons to fixate on the press.
  • 00:08:06.276 --> 00:08:08.545
  • But,
  • 00:08:08.545 --> 00:08:09.379
  • This is the one that got my attention,
  • 00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:11.381
  • Because it was going around today.
  • 00:08:11.381 --> 00:08:12.950
  • It's actually from a couple days ago,
  • 00:08:12.950 --> 00:08:14.318
  • But it's getting attention today.
  • 00:08:14.318 --> 00:08:16.320
  • It's an essay in the new york times.
  • 00:08:16.320 --> 00:08:18.522
  • We study mass shooters.
  • 00:08:18.522 --> 00:08:20.123
  • Something terrifying is happening online.
  • 00:08:20.123 --> 00:08:23.160
  • And when i first saw the headline, i thought, oh, well,
  • 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.029
  • This is great.
  • 00:08:26.029 --> 00:08:27.064
  • Maybe the new york, because the new york times
  • 00:08:27.064 --> 00:08:27.898
  • Will sometimes come in very belatedly,
  • 00:08:27.898 --> 00:08:30.300
  • And they will admit a trend that is going on
  • 00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:33.103
  • And like give one for the left to notice things.
  • 00:08:33.103 --> 00:08:36.173
  • And we've noticed a certain trend among shooters,
  • 00:08:36.173 --> 00:08:39.543
  • Which is we have transgender shooters right now
  • 00:08:39.543 --> 00:08:43.080
  • That are radicalized on discord,
  • 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.617
  • On tumblr, on reddit, on these various spaces.
  • 00:08:46.617 --> 00:08:50.253
  • They're getting more violent, they're getting more demented.
  • 00:08:50.253 --> 00:08:52.723
  • They're really being enabled.
  • 00:08:52.723 --> 00:08:53.924
  • But the new york times summarizes it this way.
  • 00:08:53.924 --> 00:08:57.060
  • I'm going to read a pretty extended excerpt from this.
  • 00:08:57.060 --> 00:09:00.130
  • We are witnessing the emergence of a new paradigm,
  • 00:09:00.130 --> 00:09:02.966
  • A mass shooter,
  • 00:09:02.966 --> 00:09:03.900
  • No less despairing about life's hardships,
  • 00:09:03.900 --> 00:09:06.036
  • But younger, highly connected to online social networks,
  • 00:09:06.036 --> 00:09:09.373
  • And seemingly convinced that enacting violently
  • 00:09:09.373 --> 00:09:12.075
  • He or she is carrying out the only meaningful
  • 00:09:12.075 --> 00:09:15.912
  • Act possible in a world devoid of meaning.
  • 00:09:15.912 --> 00:09:18.615
  • Consider a recent example.
  • 00:09:18.615 --> 00:09:20.784
  • Last month in tumblr, british columbia, an 18 year
  • 00:09:20.784 --> 00:09:24.388
  • Old killed her mother and half brother at home,
  • 00:09:24.388 --> 00:09:28.358
  • Then opened fire at a secondary school
  • 00:09:28.358 --> 00:09:30.193
  • She attended, killing five students and an educator.
  • 00:09:30.193 --> 00:09:34.231
  • In the aftermath of the shooting, amid expected
  • 00:09:34.231 --> 00:09:37.167
  • Evidence of the shooter's despair,
  • 00:09:37.167 --> 00:09:38.435
  • There emerged an alarming trail of online activity on roblox.
  • 00:09:38.435 --> 00:09:41.838
  • The shooter had created a game simulating a mass shooting.
  • 00:09:41.838 --> 00:09:44.708
  • Her tiktok account reportedly featured reposted
  • 00:09:44.708 --> 00:09:48.245
  • Videos of a mass shooter.
  • 00:09:48.245 --> 00:09:49.713
  • She belonged to a gore forum where users can post
  • 00:09:49.713 --> 00:09:53.550
  • Uncensored videos of violence and so on and so on.
  • 00:09:53.550 --> 00:09:57.621
  • Never mentioned anywhere in this article is the,
  • 00:09:57.621 --> 00:10:02.125
  • Syllable
  • 00:10:02.392 --> 00:10:03.427
  • Trans never mentions that this woman
  • 00:10:03.427 --> 00:10:06.229
  • Who did the shooting was actually a biological male
  • 00:10:06.229 --> 00:10:09.132
  • Who had become convinced that she was a woman,
  • 00:10:09.132 --> 00:10:12.135
  • And then also became convinced
  • 00:10:12.135 --> 00:10:14.071
  • That she had to do a mass shooting.
  • 00:10:14.071 --> 00:10:15.972
  • Later in the article, there was, they mention
  • 00:10:15.972 --> 00:10:20.010
  • In, the annunciation catholic school last august,
  • 00:10:20.010 --> 00:10:22.646
  • A 23 year old fired through the windows
  • 00:10:22.646 --> 00:10:25.549
  • Of annunciation catholic school in minneapolis.
  • 00:10:25.549 --> 00:10:28.118
  • She killed two children and wounded more than 20 others.
  • 00:10:28.118 --> 00:10:32.089
  • The inscriptions on her weapons told the story
  • 00:10:32.089 --> 00:10:35.425
  • Of the online community of which she had been a part.
  • 00:10:35.425 --> 00:10:38.595
  • And then they mentioned quoting
  • 00:10:38.595 --> 00:10:40.030
  • The columbine shooters and so on.
  • 00:10:40.030 --> 00:10:41.732
  • Again, never mentions this is a transgender shooter,
  • 00:10:41.732 --> 00:10:45.502
  • Never once.
  • 00:10:45.502 --> 00:10:46.603
  • So, andrew, this is just it's such a perfect example
  • 00:10:46.603 --> 00:10:50.874
  • Of this pattern that exists in the modern press and call it
  • 00:10:50.874 --> 00:10:55.212
  • You might call it boring news, anti news.
  • 00:10:55.212 --> 00:10:58.215
  • You can read all of this.
  • 00:10:58.215 --> 00:10:59.416
  • You can learn all of these facts
  • 00:10:59.416 --> 00:11:01.184
  • And yet unless you're like us, where you know
  • 00:11:01.184 --> 00:11:03.920
  • The background of this,
  • 00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:05.021
  • You're basically
  • 00:11:05.021 --> 00:11:05.655
  • Being actively misled
  • 00:11:05.655 --> 00:11:07.357
  • Because they are not telling you something.
  • 00:11:07.357 --> 00:11:09.292
  • The authors of this story, 100% knew,
  • 00:11:09.292 --> 00:11:12.696
  • And they are taking efforts to avoid sharing it with you.
  • 00:11:12.696 --> 00:11:15.932
  • It's like when you read
  • 00:11:15.932 --> 00:11:17.534
  • A new york times article that will talk about
  • 00:11:17.534 --> 00:11:19.336
  • A, you know, a major crime that's committed,
  • 00:11:19.336 --> 00:11:21.705
  • And they have to wait
  • 00:11:21.705 --> 00:11:22.873
  • Until 18 paragraphs in before you tell them
  • 00:11:22.873 --> 00:11:25.942
  • They mentioned their name.
  • 00:11:25.942 --> 00:11:27.144
  • Or they might mention that they're a migrant.
  • 00:11:27.144 --> 00:11:29.646
  • They're not from the united states.
  • 00:11:29.646 --> 00:11:31.148
  • It's just it's truly unbelievable.
  • 00:11:31.148 --> 00:11:33.350
  • It kind of reminds me of our conversation
  • 00:11:34.184 --> 00:11:35.752
  • With lydia moynihan from the new york post
  • 00:11:35.752 --> 00:11:37.988
  • Yesterday, because she
  • 00:11:37.988 --> 00:11:38.989
  • She has to face these people on cnn every day
  • 00:11:38.989 --> 00:11:41.825
  • Where she described, you know, some of the reporting
  • 00:11:41.825 --> 00:11:45.762
  • That you had to do in the mainstream press to ultimately,
  • 00:11:45.762 --> 00:11:49.266
  • You know, tell the truth, you
  • 00:11:49.266 --> 00:11:50.667
  • You had to eventually acknowledge the truth.
  • 00:11:50.667 --> 00:11:53.270
  • And all these journalists were loath to do it.
  • 00:11:53.270 --> 00:11:55.605
  • Nobody wanted that assignment because they would
  • 00:11:55.605 --> 00:11:58.708
  • Essentially not be allowed back into polite society.
  • 00:11:58.708 --> 00:12:01.812
  • And the cocktail parties, in the corridor.
  • 00:12:01.812 --> 00:12:05.348
  • So this
  • 00:12:05.348 --> 00:12:06.449
  • This is one thing to understand about the mainstream
  • 00:12:06.449 --> 00:12:09.085
  • News media is it's like a
  • 00:12:09.085 --> 00:12:10.453
  • It's like a giant, mean girls club at a high school.
  • 00:12:10.453 --> 00:12:13.890
  • So these people
  • 00:12:13.890 --> 00:12:15.125
  • Refused to acknowledge a basic, fundamental biological truth
  • 00:12:15.125 --> 00:12:18.495
  • That these are not women
  • 00:12:18.495 --> 00:12:19.896
  • That are shooting up these schools or houses or whatever.
  • 00:12:19.896 --> 00:12:23.366
  • These are men.
  • 00:12:23.366 --> 00:12:24.434
  • These are violent men that have been diluted
  • 00:12:24.434 --> 00:12:27.704
  • By a brain rot.
  • 00:12:27.704 --> 00:12:29.372
  • To think that they are women
  • 00:12:29.372 --> 00:12:30.707
  • And buy
  • 00:12:30.707 --> 00:12:31.474
  • Lots and lots of medications
  • 00:12:31.474 --> 00:12:33.043
  • That are being pumped into their body,
  • 00:12:33.043 --> 00:12:34.578
  • Twisting their brain, twisting their mind,
  • 00:12:34.578 --> 00:12:37.080
  • And they won't admit a basic fundamental truth
  • 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.449
  • That could actually get to the
  • 00:12:39.449 --> 00:12:40.917
  • Bottom of it and maybe make it stop.
  • 00:12:40.917 --> 00:12:42.786
  • So if your goal and reporting is to expose truth
  • 00:12:42.786 --> 00:12:45.121
  • And to affect the world and make it a better place,
  • 00:12:45.121 --> 00:12:47.557
  • You're abandoning your central, reason for being simply
  • 00:12:47.557 --> 00:12:52.662
  • Because you want to keep getting invited
  • 00:12:52.662 --> 00:12:54.364
  • To other cocktail parties or get that next job.
  • 00:12:54.364 --> 00:12:56.266
  • It's actually pretty disgraceful,
  • 00:12:56.266 --> 00:12:58.301
  • The amount of lying that
  • 00:12:58.301 --> 00:12:59.469
  • Goes on and the propaganda, the agitprop here.
  • 00:12:59.469 --> 00:13:03.073
  • And at some level, you just have to say,
  • 00:13:03.073 --> 00:13:05.876
  • Are you doing this intentionally to to upset us
  • 00:13:05.876 --> 00:13:08.511
  • Because, you know, you,
  • 00:13:08.511 --> 00:13:09.713
  • You know, the underlying truth
  • 00:13:09.713 --> 00:13:11.414
  • Of this story and refuse to report it.
  • 00:13:11.414 --> 00:13:13.483
  • It's it's,
  • 00:13:13.483 --> 00:13:15.285
  • A bastardization of the calling, which is a high
  • 00:13:15.285 --> 00:13:18.922
  • Calling to report truth.
  • 00:13:18.922 --> 00:13:20.156
  • And most of these people have no concept
  • 00:13:20.156 --> 00:13:21.858
  • Of what that truth is, and it's it's disgusting.
  • 00:13:21.858 --> 00:13:24.461
  • I'm, i'm i'm not shocked, though, blake,
  • 00:13:24.461 --> 00:13:27.430
  • To be to be fair.
  • 00:13:27.430 --> 00:13:28.632
  • Yeah. no, i mean, it's not shocking.
  • 00:13:28.632 --> 00:13:30.333
  • It's a core element of the press, especially if you're
  • 00:13:30.333 --> 00:13:34.237
  • The new york times, because a lot of news outlets,
  • 00:13:34.237 --> 00:13:37.173
  • They're just, you know, scrambling
  • 00:13:37.173 --> 00:13:38.508
  • To get whatever clicks they can.
  • 00:13:38.508 --> 00:13:39.943
  • The new york times actually has the institution power,
  • 00:13:39.943 --> 00:13:42.879
  • And it is well aware of it to shape what it is
  • 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.016
  • Okay to believe what it's now acceptable to talk about.
  • 00:13:46.016 --> 00:13:50.020
  • What is it?
  • 00:13:50.020 --> 00:13:50.854
  • Well, it's unacceptable to talk about.
  • 00:13:50.854 --> 00:13:52.889
  • And, you know, charlie himself, he'd like to point out
  • 00:13:52.889 --> 00:13:55.959
  • That this is like the big sacred cow.
  • 00:13:55.959 --> 00:13:58.662
  • Is this like transgender cult
  • 00:13:58.662 --> 00:14:01.831
  • That is devouring the nation's children.
  • 00:14:01.831 --> 00:14:04.634
  • And even when they're willing to come out and say so
  • 00:14:04.634 --> 00:14:08.371
  • And say that there's this new dark shooting online,
  • 00:14:08.371 --> 00:14:11.007
  • They can't mention the giant elephant in the room.
  • 00:14:11.007 --> 00:14:13.510
  • In fact, let's play that very quick
  • 00:14:13.510 --> 00:14:14.978
  • Before the break to, clip ten trans people have been made
  • 00:14:14.978 --> 00:14:18.014
  • Into kind of a sacred cow of american politics.
  • 00:14:18.014 --> 00:14:21.051
  • You can't question it.
  • 00:14:21.518 --> 00:14:23.653
  • You can't criticize it.
  • 00:14:24.154 --> 00:14:27.123
  • And they believe they can threaten whoever they want.
  • 00:14:27.123 --> 00:14:28.925
  • This is the ultimate top of the oppression olympics.
  • 00:14:28.925 --> 00:14:31.828
  • How many dead kids
  • 00:14:31.828 --> 00:14:32.629
  • Is it going to take for us to say
  • 00:14:32.629 --> 00:14:33.596
  • We probably gone too far here
  • 00:14:33.596 --> 00:14:34.664
  • And we should just ask a couple questions.
  • 00:14:34.664 --> 00:14:37.801
  • How many mass shootings
  • 00:14:38.301 --> 00:14:40.170
  • Have to happen where we probably say,
  • 00:14:40.170 --> 00:14:41.404
  • Wait a second, you know, we just calm down.
  • 00:14:41.404 --> 00:14:44.674
  • You will know the central, you know the.
  • 00:14:44.674 --> 00:14:49.145
  • The central deity of an age. by what?
  • 00:14:49.145 --> 00:14:51.414
  • You cannot attack.
  • 00:14:51.414 --> 00:14:52.515
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:14:52.515 --> 00:14:56.009
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:14:56.009 --> 00:15:02.159
  • Without further ado, steve davis is the man.
  • 00:15:03.094 --> 00:15:05.896
  • A really just become a great friend and a trusted, voice
  • 00:15:05.896 --> 00:15:09.700
  • Sounding board.
  • 00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:11.168
  • So, steve, welcome to the charlie kirk show.
  • 00:15:11.168 --> 00:15:12.970
  • Welcome back.
  • 00:15:12.970 --> 00:15:13.771
  • I attempted to ask you about your,
  • 00:15:13.771 --> 00:15:16.540
  • Your your, bracket because you are a big sports guy,
  • 00:15:16.540 --> 00:15:20.344
  • But we already know it's disaster
  • 00:15:20.344 --> 00:15:22.346
  • Because everything's terrible on the bracketology this year.
  • 00:15:22.346 --> 00:15:25.249
  • Everything's blown up, so we'll just skip that.
  • 00:15:25.249 --> 00:15:27.485
  • I want to know,
  • 00:15:27.485 --> 00:15:28.786
  • How are you interpreting this moment that we are in? right.
  • 00:15:28.786 --> 00:15:31.956
  • There is a big debate about how divided maga is.
  • 00:15:31.956 --> 00:15:34.592
  • What do you think?
  • 00:15:34.592 --> 00:15:35.726
  • I think on a on a on a high
  • 00:15:36.327 --> 00:15:38.562
  • Level, we're the last outpost of western civilization.
  • 00:15:38.562 --> 00:15:41.499
  • We're all that's left or what?
  • 00:15:41.499 --> 00:15:43.034
  • You know, sometimes we used to call it
  • 00:15:43.034 --> 00:15:44.268
  • Chris and done before we gave it that term.
  • 00:15:44.268 --> 00:15:46.604
  • And so i think that there is a unique spiritual war happening
  • 00:15:46.604 --> 00:15:50.074
  • Right now, for the direction of this country.
  • 00:15:50.074 --> 00:15:53.644
  • And i think that's the backdrop of everything.
  • 00:15:53.644 --> 00:15:56.113
  • And then i think we're coming out of really,
  • 00:15:56.113 --> 00:15:58.449
  • Maybe since, you know, we have that period during the 60s
  • 00:15:58.449 --> 00:16:02.286
  • Gulf of tonkin, jfk, mlk, assassinations,
  • 00:16:02.286 --> 00:16:05.689
  • Rfk assassinations, that's before any of our lifetimes.
  • 00:16:05.689 --> 00:16:09.226
  • I wasn't alive yet.
  • 00:16:09.226 --> 00:16:10.394
  • My mom was just a teenager when all that was going on.
  • 00:16:10.394 --> 00:16:12.630
  • So in our era, this is the last five years,
  • 00:16:12.630 --> 00:16:16.267
  • Beginning with the events of covid on march 16th, 2020.
  • 00:16:16.267 --> 00:16:20.771
  • The last five years collectively
  • 00:16:20.771 --> 00:16:22.339
  • Is the most that any,
  • 00:16:22.339 --> 00:16:23.974
  • Any of this
  • 00:16:23.974 --> 00:16:25.076
  • Generation of americans has been systemically lied to.
  • 00:16:25.076 --> 00:16:27.678
  • That's broken a lot of our abilities to trust
  • 00:16:27.678 --> 00:16:30.414
  • And to think, skepticism
  • 00:16:30.414 --> 00:16:32.616
  • And nihilism often get confused for one another.
  • 00:16:32.616 --> 00:16:34.819
  • One is healthy, one is not.
  • 00:16:34.819 --> 00:16:36.720
  • And then on, on on top of that, you know,
  • 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.657
  • We have this last generation of the church just kind of took
  • 00:16:39.657 --> 00:16:42.426
  • The generation off, right.
  • 00:16:42.426 --> 00:16:44.161
  • So, yeah.
  • 00:16:44.161 --> 00:16:44.962
  • And then the schools decided
  • 00:16:44.962 --> 00:16:46.097
  • We can't critically think anymore
  • 00:16:46.097 --> 00:16:47.364
  • Because then the kids may outthink us
  • 00:16:47.364 --> 00:16:48.833
  • And the very dogmas we're trying to impress upon them.
  • 00:16:48.833 --> 00:16:51.569
  • So when you stir all of that into a witch's
  • 00:16:51.569 --> 00:16:54.038
  • Brew and into a cauldron, guys, and you pour it out,
  • 00:16:54.038 --> 00:16:56.807
  • I think you have the
  • 00:16:56.807 --> 00:16:57.842
  • Current ecosystem that we're all operating in.
  • 00:16:57.842 --> 00:17:00.478
  • And then on top of that,
  • 00:17:00.478 --> 00:17:01.779
  • We had who many of us thought was going to be
  • 00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:03.948
  • Our generational leader here assassinated.
  • 00:17:03.948 --> 00:17:06.917
  • And so when you throw that so now the fulcrum of this, the
  • 00:17:06.917 --> 00:17:11.021
  • The plumb line, you know, that that i've talked about that
  • 00:17:11.021 --> 00:17:13.624
  • I think every time i've been on here with you guys
  • 00:17:13.624 --> 00:17:15.392
  • Since charlie's murder, that meme of charlie
  • 00:17:15.392 --> 00:17:17.595
  • As the giant hoover like dam holding back
  • 00:17:17.595 --> 00:17:20.297
  • Right wing retardation.
  • 00:17:20.297 --> 00:17:21.699
  • And then so we can learn to unite and win.
  • 00:17:21.699 --> 00:17:24.201
  • And so when you throw all that in here,
  • 00:17:24.201 --> 00:17:26.070
  • I think that's where you have this witch's brew.
  • 00:17:26.070 --> 00:17:28.539
  • That explains a lot of the various
  • 00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:30.808
  • Trend lines and headlines that we're seeing right now.
  • 00:17:30.808 --> 00:17:33.544
  • Will tend to, to, to fill the gap.
  • 00:17:33.544 --> 00:17:35.446
  • And that has been basically marked by reformed theology.
  • 00:17:35.446 --> 00:17:38.816
  • It's been marked by charismatics.
  • 00:17:38.816 --> 00:17:40.618
  • Different denominations and church
  • 00:17:40.618 --> 00:17:43.387
  • Movements would come up and fill that void.
  • 00:17:43.387 --> 00:17:46.690
  • And so, yeah, america does retain its protestant
  • 00:17:46.690 --> 00:17:49.927
  • Sort of ethos.
  • 00:17:49.927 --> 00:17:51.095
  • It it's its character.
  • 00:17:51.095 --> 00:17:52.830
  • And i think that we have remained as vibrant as we have
  • 00:17:52.830 --> 00:17:56.100
  • While the rest of the western
  • 00:17:56.100 --> 00:17:57.334
  • World has sort of fallen off because we have a competition
  • 00:17:57.334 --> 00:18:01.071
  • For eyeballs.
  • 00:18:01.071 --> 00:18:02.273
  • I hate to put it that bluntly, but that's essentially what
  • 00:18:02.273 --> 00:18:04.441
  • It is.
  • 00:18:04.441 --> 00:18:05.342
  • And i think, you know, you you think of
  • 00:18:05.342 --> 00:18:06.744
  • The book of revelation when you talk about the, the,
  • 00:18:06.744 --> 00:18:10.915
  • God will snuff out the, the lampstands and, and,
  • 00:18:10.915 --> 00:18:14.318
  • You know, ones
  • 00:18:14.318 --> 00:18:15.252
  • That are preaching the truth and lifting up
  • 00:18:15.252 --> 00:18:16.320
  • The name of jesus will take its place.
  • 00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:18.856
  • I sort of am still holding on to the fact
  • 00:18:18.856 --> 00:18:21.825
  • That there are revival type energies that we are seeing,
  • 00:18:21.825 --> 00:18:25.930
  • And you've seen some of this in your neck of the woods
  • 00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:29.066
  • As well.
  • 00:18:29.066 --> 00:18:30.100
  • Steve, you know, you've seen we did the pick up
  • 00:18:30.100 --> 00:18:31.368
  • The mic tour that's come near, near your, your home.
  • 00:18:31.368 --> 00:18:34.972
  • And we've done
  • 00:18:34.972 --> 00:18:35.940
  • Where we've got these, make having crowded
  • 00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:38.475
  • Tour stops that are going
  • 00:18:38.475 --> 00:18:39.510
  • All across the country, they're all packed out.
  • 00:18:39.510 --> 00:18:41.812
  • And i mean, at some level,
  • 00:18:41.812 --> 00:18:43.681
  • I hate to devolve the
  • 00:18:43.681 --> 00:18:44.882
  • Conversation to such a place, but we are at a at a point
  • 00:18:44.882 --> 00:18:48.185
  • Where we either get revival or i'm afraid of what
  • 00:18:48.185 --> 00:18:50.955
  • The future will hold.
  • 00:18:50.955 --> 00:18:52.156
  • I think we are firmly ensconced in revival or bust territory
  • 00:18:52.156 --> 00:18:56.594
  • Now, the form of it, you know, we have a tendency,
  • 00:18:56.594 --> 00:18:59.129
  • You know, there's a difference,
  • 00:18:59.129 --> 00:19:00.097
  • I always say, between tradition and nostalgia.
  • 00:19:00.097 --> 00:19:02.866
  • Tradition is where you look back on how, you know, truth.
  • 00:19:02.866 --> 00:19:06.470
  • What's good, true and beautiful has worked itself
  • 00:19:06.470 --> 00:19:08.973
  • Out throughout human history.
  • 00:19:08.973 --> 00:19:10.541
  • With the creator has revealed, are those things and
  • 00:19:10.541 --> 00:19:14.912
  • And those those things give you confidence
  • 00:19:14.912 --> 00:19:17.748
  • That if applied
  • 00:19:17.748 --> 00:19:19.216
  • In a contemporary way for the time in which you live,
  • 00:19:19.216 --> 00:19:22.253
  • They're timeless and can work again. right.
  • 00:19:22.253 --> 00:19:24.555
  • And so i view tradition as a motivating factor.
  • 00:19:24.555 --> 00:19:27.091
  • I view nostalgia as a paralyzing one.
  • 00:19:27.091 --> 00:19:29.493
  • So it's got to look exactly
  • 00:19:29.493 --> 00:19:30.828
  • The same way that it looked before.
  • 00:19:30.828 --> 00:19:32.296
  • Otherwise it's very foreign to us.
  • 00:19:32.296 --> 00:19:34.064
  • And this can't be how things work.
  • 00:19:34.064 --> 00:19:36.333
  • And so, i, you know, when i say without another
  • 00:19:36.333 --> 00:19:39.637
  • Great awakening
  • 00:19:39.637 --> 00:19:40.638
  • Long term, we're doomed, it doesn't mean that
  • 00:19:40.638 --> 00:19:42.439
  • It has to be the exact same playbook
  • 00:19:42.439 --> 00:19:44.608
  • As the great awakenings of the 18th century,
  • 00:19:44.608 --> 00:19:47.311
  • But without that sort of systemic revival,
  • 00:19:47.311 --> 00:19:50.080
  • I don't disagree.
  • 00:19:50.514 --> 00:19:51.482
  • I mean, the systems are too far gone.
  • 00:19:51.482 --> 00:19:54.118
  • We have, and now a lot of our own people.
  • 00:19:54.118 --> 00:19:57.488
  • I was with, lucas miles, my good friend from tp, usa,
  • 00:19:57.488 --> 00:20:00.524
  • Faith, yesterday at allen jackson's church in nashville,
  • 00:20:00.524 --> 00:20:04.094
  • And spoke to a group of pastors there.
  • 00:20:04.094 --> 00:20:07.364
  • And what i said to them, the number one thing we need
  • 00:20:07.364 --> 00:20:10.034
  • You guys to do right
  • 00:20:10.034 --> 00:20:11.101
  • Now, frankly, is to teach our people how to think
  • 00:20:11.101 --> 00:20:13.570
  • That even before now, we get to what i want to do,
  • 00:20:13.570 --> 00:20:16.006
  • Which is worldview formation and belief installation.
  • 00:20:16.006 --> 00:20:18.976
  • Do i have permission to think?
  • 00:20:19.576 --> 00:20:22.212
  • And we're kind of in this era right now
  • 00:20:22.212 --> 00:20:24.014
  • Where i've been so betrayed by official sources
  • 00:20:24.014 --> 00:20:26.917
  • That even
  • 00:20:26.917 --> 00:20:28.185
  • When the guys i voted for now control the official sources,
  • 00:20:28.185 --> 00:20:30.287
  • I still think they're betraying me.
  • 00:20:30.287 --> 00:20:31.555
  • I mean, they might be.
  • 00:20:31.555 --> 00:20:32.356
  • I mean, i don't know,
  • 00:20:32.356 --> 00:20:33.257
  • But you know what would be the metric?
  • 00:20:33.257 --> 00:20:35.025
  • You can't skepticism
  • 00:20:35.025 --> 00:20:36.427
  • In and of itself,
  • 00:20:36.427 --> 00:20:37.461
  • You know, some reactionary ism is good, right?
  • 00:20:37.461 --> 00:20:39.563
  • Someone breaks into your home
  • 00:20:39.563 --> 00:20:40.731
  • And wants to harm you and your family. react.
  • 00:20:40.731 --> 00:20:42.633
  • Right? don't just pontificate. react right.
  • 00:20:42.633 --> 00:20:44.868
  • But if reactionary ism is all you do, right?
  • 00:20:44.868 --> 00:20:48.105
  • Well,
  • 00:20:48.105 --> 00:20:48.739
  • So lindsey
  • 00:20:48.739 --> 00:20:49.573
  • Graham likes shamrock shakes too,
  • 00:20:49.573 --> 00:20:50.808
  • So i'm just not going to have them anymore.
  • 00:20:50.808 --> 00:20:52.509
  • I mean, we've
  • 00:20:52.509 --> 00:20:53.644
  • Got to have a more contemplate, you know, a more a more
  • 00:20:53.644 --> 00:20:56.714
  • Complicated and sophisticated epistemology than that.
  • 00:20:56.714 --> 00:21:00.417
  • And i think that a lot of us in america right now
  • 00:21:00.417 --> 00:21:03.253
  • Don't know what to think or how to think.
  • 00:21:03.253 --> 00:21:05.522
  • We just think we can't trust any of our thinkers,
  • 00:21:05.522 --> 00:21:09.293
  • And we've got to fix that.
  • 00:21:09.293 --> 00:21:10.894
  • Otherwise, i'm not sure how we can sustain ourselves
  • 00:21:10.894 --> 00:21:13.630
  • Moving forward.
  • 00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:14.465
  • I want to
  • 00:21:14.465 --> 00:21:15.599
  • I want to get into two things here in this segment.
  • 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.134
  • I want to i want you to distill that idea more.
  • 00:21:17.134 --> 00:21:20.571
  • Why it's so important
  • 00:21:20.571 --> 00:21:21.972
  • In this sifting moment that we find ourselves in.
  • 00:21:21.972 --> 00:21:24.942
  • And then i want to lay out the stakes
  • 00:21:24.942 --> 00:21:27.378
  • Because there's a chilling new article
  • 00:21:27.378 --> 00:21:29.947
  • Out of new republic, which is a far left rag.
  • 00:21:29.947 --> 00:21:32.383
  • But they lay out the stakes here pretty clearly.
  • 00:21:32.383 --> 00:21:35.219
  • They say there will be no post-presidential peace
  • 00:21:35.219 --> 00:21:38.155
  • For donald trump.
  • 00:21:38.155 --> 00:21:39.189
  • They even compare his sins to
  • 00:21:39.189 --> 00:21:43.060
  • And scandals and crimes with the shocking likeness
  • 00:21:43.060 --> 00:21:46.563
  • Of the charges laid out in the declaration
  • 00:21:46.563 --> 00:21:48.665
  • Of independence against the last american king.
  • 00:21:48.665 --> 00:21:51.602
  • So the stakes could not be higher right now.
  • 00:21:51.602 --> 00:21:54.271
  • And yes, there's the graphic.
  • 00:21:54.271 --> 00:21:55.806
  • There will be no peace for president trump.
  • 00:21:55.806 --> 00:21:58.075
  • My, my my question to you is the sifting moment.
  • 00:21:58.075 --> 00:22:01.945
  • What should our audience do with this moment of angst?
  • 00:22:01.945 --> 00:22:06.850
  • Well, let's talk about what we think the sifting is.
  • 00:22:07.885 --> 00:22:09.920
  • First. i think covid was a sifting.
  • 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:11.855
  • I think george floyd was a sifting.
  • 00:22:11.855 --> 00:22:13.524
  • I think the latest sifting is
  • 00:22:13.524 --> 00:22:15.893
  • It was charlie's assassination.
  • 00:22:15.893 --> 00:22:17.828
  • And whenever you see, i think that's that's god moving.
  • 00:22:17.828 --> 00:22:21.031
  • You see this throughout the
  • 00:22:21.031 --> 00:22:23.000
  • Throughout the biblical narrative.
  • 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:24.001
  • I mean, the greatest sifting
  • 00:22:24.001 --> 00:22:25.102
  • Of all the formation of the christian church, right?
  • 00:22:25.102 --> 00:22:27.671
  • Okay.
  • 00:22:27.671 --> 00:22:28.071
  • And so
  • 00:22:28.071 --> 00:22:29.139
  • Whenever there's a sifting, it's
  • 00:22:29.139 --> 00:22:30.307
  • Because a mobilization is about to happen.
  • 00:22:30.307 --> 00:22:32.676
  • But first.
  • 00:22:32.676 --> 00:22:33.811
  • All right, the gardener's going to prune his garden.
  • 00:22:33.811 --> 00:22:35.879
  • We're going to pluck some weeds out first.
  • 00:22:35.879 --> 00:22:37.848
  • You know,
  • 00:22:37.848 --> 00:22:38.682
  • The general is going to make sure
  • 00:22:38.682 --> 00:22:39.650
  • That he has the right troops
  • 00:22:39.650 --> 00:22:40.684
  • That are actually trained for the battle ahead.
  • 00:22:40.684 --> 00:22:43.020
  • And that's a painful process.
  • 00:22:43.020 --> 00:22:44.521
  • And we are undergoing this right now.
  • 00:22:44.521 --> 00:22:46.590
  • And i think the sifting is, will you, will
  • 00:22:46.590 --> 00:22:49.860
  • You put your faith in god and in his word?
  • 00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:53.397
  • And then will you follow facts?
  • 00:22:53.397 --> 00:22:56.500
  • I think that's the sifting that is taking place right now.
  • 00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:59.169
  • Okay.
  • 00:22:59.169 --> 00:22:59.670
  • Because there are
  • 00:22:59.670 --> 00:23:01.038
  • Some real matthew 2024
  • 00:23:01.038 --> 00:23:02.573
  • Stuff going on right now, which is, man,
  • 00:23:02.573 --> 00:23:04.141
  • If those days were not shortened, even
  • 00:23:04.141 --> 00:23:05.275
  • The elect would be deceived.
  • 00:23:05.275 --> 00:23:06.276
  • I mean, the
  • 00:23:06.276 --> 00:23:07.144
  • The amount of ai and everything else
  • 00:23:07.144 --> 00:23:08.579
  • That's going on right now, the amount of false headlines
  • 00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:10.981
  • It's going on that it's exposed right now.
  • 00:23:10.981 --> 00:23:13.250
  • We've never been more bombarded with information
  • 00:23:13.250 --> 00:23:15.452
  • And human history
  • 00:23:15.452 --> 00:23:16.386
  • And more of it wrong than we are right now.
  • 00:23:16.386 --> 00:23:17.955
  • Steve davis, thank you so much, my friend.
  • 00:23:17.955 --> 00:23:20.157
  • I think this was actually a really important conversation.
  • 00:23:20.157 --> 00:23:22.960
  • I hope, the audience got a lot out of it.
  • 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:22.960
