WEBVTT - Hour 2:  Life and Liberty

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.800
<v S1>Hi friend, thank you so much for downloading this podcast

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:06.920
<v S1>and I truly hope you hear something that edifies encourage, equips, enlightens,

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.520
<v S1>and then gets you out there in the marketplace of ideas.

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:11.440
<v S1>But before you go, I want to tell you about

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:14.680
<v S1>this month's truth tool. It's called Have You Ever Wondered?

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.720
<v S1>And I absolutely love this topic because if you're like me,

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:19.600
<v S1>going out into the night sky and looking up and

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.439
<v S1>seeing a million stars, don't you just stop and think

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:24.560
<v S1>about God? And are you not in a moment of

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.960
<v S1>awe and wonder or looking out over the vast expanse

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.600
<v S1>of an ocean and you start thinking, what is man,

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.800
<v S1>that thou art mindful of him? And it makes you

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.240
<v S1>wonder about the magnificence of God? I think that sense

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.480
<v S1>of wonder was put there on purpose, and this wonderful

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.720
<v S1>book includes a composite of multiple authors who have written

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.879
<v S1>from their perspective as a scientist, or a historian, or

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.160
<v S1>a mathematician or an artist, on why they all have

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.599
<v S1>this sense of awe through the work that they do.

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.120
<v S1>In other words, the heavens declare the glory. And as

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.440
<v S1>it tells us in Romans, we are really without excuse

0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:00.170
<v S1>because his handiwork is everywhere. And this book invites you

0:01:00.170 --> 0:01:03.530
<v S1>to walk through the chapters written by people who all

0:01:03.530 --> 0:01:06.290
<v S1>have a sense of awe and wonder when it comes

0:01:06.290 --> 0:01:09.090
<v S1>to God through their various disciplines in life. It's an

0:01:09.090 --> 0:01:11.450
<v S1>amazing book and it's yours. For a gift of any amount,

0:01:11.450 --> 0:01:16.250
<v S1>just call 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58. Ask

0:01:16.250 --> 0:01:19.130
<v S1>for a copy of Have You Ever Wondered? And we'll

0:01:19.130 --> 0:01:20.410
<v S1>send it right off to you as my way of

0:01:20.410 --> 0:01:22.930
<v S1>saying thank you, because we are listener supported radio. Or

<v S1>the truth tool, but in addition to that, you get

<v S1>a weekly newsletter that includes my writing and an audio

0:01:38.209 --> 0:01:42.370
<v S1>piece just for my partial partners. So 877 Janet 58

0:01:42.370 --> 0:01:46.050
<v S1>or the website in the market with Janet Parshall. Consider

0:01:46.050 --> 0:01:49.290
<v S1>becoming a partial partner or asking for this month's truth tool.

0:01:49.290 --> 0:01:53.090
<v S1>Have you ever wondered? And now please enjoy the broadcast.

0:01:56.050 --> 0:01:57.570
<v S2>Here are some of the news headlines we're watching.

0:01:57.850 --> 0:02:00.130
<v S3>The conference was over. The president won a pledge.

0:02:00.290 --> 0:02:02.330
<v S4>Americans worshiping government over God.

0:02:02.650 --> 0:02:06.050
<v S1>Extremely rare safety move by a major 17 years.

0:02:06.050 --> 0:02:08.130
<v S4>The Palestinians and the Israelis negotiated.

0:02:23.810 --> 0:02:26.290
<v S1>Hi, friends. Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall.

0:02:26.330 --> 0:02:28.650
<v S1>A very happy Tuesday to you. We've got lots of

0:02:28.650 --> 0:02:31.010
<v S1>news to cover this hour. Before we do, though, I

0:02:31.010 --> 0:02:33.010
<v S1>just want to remind you that this month's truth tool

0:02:33.010 --> 0:02:36.890
<v S1>is called Have You Ever Wondered? I harken back again

0:02:36.889 --> 0:02:40.769
<v S1>to Michael W Smith's new song, Arms Around the Sun. Oh,

0:02:40.810 --> 0:02:43.090
<v S1>it just encapsulates the theme of this book. By the way,

0:02:43.090 --> 0:02:45.850
<v S1>if you haven't heard that song. Oh, it's on my playlist.

0:02:45.850 --> 0:02:47.730
<v S1>I bet I listen to it five times a day.

0:02:47.770 --> 0:02:50.930
<v S1>I absolutely love the song, but it really is about

0:02:50.930 --> 0:02:54.530
<v S1>the awe and the wonder of our great and glorious king.

0:02:54.650 --> 0:02:57.180
<v S1>And so what Andy Bannister did is in this book.

0:02:57.180 --> 0:03:00.060
<v S1>He put together a bunch of authors that asked questions

0:03:00.060 --> 0:03:03.500
<v S1>that really and truly make us ask questions about why

0:03:03.500 --> 0:03:06.100
<v S1>we hunger for God. So, for example, have you ever

0:03:06.100 --> 0:03:09.340
<v S1>wondered why we long for happiness? Or why the best

0:03:09.340 --> 0:03:11.739
<v S1>stories are about good and evil, or why we love

0:03:11.780 --> 0:03:14.940
<v S1>happy endings, or why we're attracted to the supernatural? If

0:03:14.940 --> 0:03:18.859
<v S1>you think that that's evolution or it's just randomness, it's not.

0:03:18.900 --> 0:03:22.700
<v S1>God has placed eternity in our heart. He fingerprinted us

0:03:22.700 --> 0:03:25.620
<v S1>to know him, to love him, and to seek him.

0:03:25.620 --> 0:03:28.260
<v S1>And the Bible tells us with great assurance if we

0:03:28.300 --> 0:03:30.660
<v S1>seek him, we will find him. If we seek him

0:03:30.660 --> 0:03:33.580
<v S1>with our whole heart, he will be found. What a

0:03:33.580 --> 0:03:36.260
<v S1>comfort to know that so he's waiting. You don't have

0:03:36.260 --> 0:03:37.860
<v S1>to look very far. By the way, when you find him,

0:03:37.860 --> 0:03:40.060
<v S1>you're going to discover that you thought you were pursuing God.

0:03:40.180 --> 0:03:42.700
<v S1>God was pursuing you the whole time. But this book

0:03:42.700 --> 0:03:45.420
<v S1>just makes us stop and wonder about God and the

0:03:45.420 --> 0:03:48.660
<v S1>wonder of God. And if the idea of God doesn't

0:03:48.660 --> 0:03:51.620
<v S1>take your breath away, wake up, O sleeper! Particularly on

0:03:51.620 --> 0:03:53.220
<v S1>summer nights when you can look up and you see

0:03:53.260 --> 0:03:56.100
<v S1>crystal clear twinkling lights, and you are you reminded that

0:03:56.100 --> 0:03:58.740
<v S1>God made every one of those, and not only did

0:03:58.740 --> 0:04:00.500
<v S1>he make them and hang them, but the Bible tells

0:04:00.500 --> 0:04:02.900
<v S1>us he gave every one of them a name and

0:04:02.900 --> 0:04:06.020
<v S1>that even the heavens declare his glory. That's the awe

0:04:06.300 --> 0:04:08.700
<v S1>and the wonder of our great King. I love this

0:04:08.700 --> 0:04:10.900
<v S1>truth tool, and it's my way of saying thank you.

0:04:10.900 --> 0:04:13.060

0:04:13.060 --> 0:04:15.620

<v S1>the microphone. But it's my way of saying thank you.

<v S1>consistently give every month. You always get the truth tool.

<v S1>piece that only my partial partners get. So it's your choice.

0:05:02.950 --> 0:05:04.950
<v S1>Think about it. Pray about it. But either way, thank

0:05:04.950 --> 0:05:07.950
<v S1>you in advance. Have you ever wondered this month's truth tool?

0:05:07.990 --> 0:05:11.390
<v S1>877 Janet, 58 or online at In the Market with

0:05:11.390 --> 0:05:14.909
<v S1>Janet Parshall. Well, I'm not taking my eyes off the

0:05:14.910 --> 0:05:17.750
<v S1>Middle East. I bet you're not either. President came home

0:05:17.750 --> 0:05:20.430
<v S1>in a hurry yesterday from the G7 summit. Could have

0:05:20.430 --> 0:05:22.630
<v S1>been there. All the great leaders of Europe were there

0:05:22.630 --> 0:05:24.310
<v S1>and he said, nope. Got some business at home to

0:05:24.310 --> 0:05:27.870
<v S1>take care of. Been meeting with his security team all

0:05:27.910 --> 0:05:31.190
<v S1>day long. The word out right now is that we

0:05:31.190 --> 0:05:34.910
<v S1>have control of the airspace over Iran. That's pretty important.

0:05:34.910 --> 0:05:37.670
<v S1>In fact, the president announced we now have complete and

0:05:37.670 --> 0:05:40.550
<v S1>total control of Iranian space, and the U.S. knows exactly

0:05:40.550 --> 0:05:44.229
<v S1>where Ayatollah Khomeini is hiding. The president has said right now,

0:05:44.270 --> 0:05:46.830
<v S1>we're not going to eliminate him, but we're giving him

0:05:46.830 --> 0:05:49.349
<v S1>a chance to surrender, which I think this is a

0:05:49.390 --> 0:05:52.230
<v S1>Churchillian moment. This is how you look at enemies in

0:05:52.230 --> 0:05:55.350
<v S1>the face. Its strength. Right. Peace through strength. And you

0:05:55.350 --> 0:05:56.589
<v S1>look him in the face, and you give him a

0:05:56.589 --> 0:05:59.549
<v S1>chance to step down and step away before more Iranians

0:05:59.550 --> 0:06:02.070
<v S1>are killed. And by the way, speaking of what's going

0:06:02.070 --> 0:06:06.550
<v S1>on in Iran, people are leaving in historic numbers from Tehran.

0:06:06.550 --> 0:06:08.589
<v S1>Is it easy? No. And this is a reason for

0:06:08.589 --> 0:06:10.349
<v S1>you to be praying for the people of Iran as

0:06:10.350 --> 0:06:13.110
<v S1>well as the people of Israel. Here is CBN news

0:06:13.110 --> 0:06:14.390
<v S1>giving a fabulous report.

0:06:14.790 --> 0:06:18.990
<v S5>As he left Canada, Trump wrote on Truth Social Iran

0:06:18.990 --> 0:06:21.669
<v S5>should have signed the deal I told them to sign.

0:06:21.950 --> 0:06:26.469
<v S5>Simply stated Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Everyone should

0:06:26.510 --> 0:06:31.190
<v S5>immediately evacuate Tehran. A massive exodus of people are fleeing

0:06:31.230 --> 0:06:35.989
<v S5>Iran's capital, as Israeli officials also urged thousands of people

0:06:35.990 --> 0:06:40.790
<v S5>in Tehran on Monday to evacuate ahead of airstrikes. There

0:06:40.790 --> 0:06:44.630
<v S5>are reports Iran is sending urgent signals to end the

0:06:44.630 --> 0:06:48.310
<v S5>war and resume nuclear talks if the U.S. does not

0:06:48.310 --> 0:06:53.080
<v S5>join the fight. Talking to ABC news, Israeli Prime Minister

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.360
<v S5>Benjamin Netanyahu said he doesn't see signs Iran is serious

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.760
<v S5>about ending the war.

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.760
<v S6>Well, we're going to see if Iran is serious about

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:06.840
<v S6>dismantling their nuclear program, dismantling their missile capacity, dismantling the

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.920
<v S6>terror access that terrorizes everybody in the Middle East and

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.880
<v S6>well beyond if they agree to all of that. Obviously,

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.160
<v S6>you know, the war could end if they lay down

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.600
<v S6>their arms, they lay down their weapons of mass death.

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.040
<v S6>That's different. But so far they haven't done it.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.640
<v S5>Netanyahu also said Israel will not rule out targeting the

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.960
<v S5>ayatollah because taking him out would end the conflict. The

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:33.280
<v S5>IDF says it's hit more than 250 targets across Iran,

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:38.160
<v S5>estimating it's destroyed a third of the regime's ballistic missile

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:43.480
<v S5>launchers and continues to strike military infrastructure. Surface to surface

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:48.960
<v S5>missiles and UAVs, as in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen, Israel

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:54.960
<v S5>sent Evacuation warnings to civilians in Tehran to avoid military targets.

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.640
<v S5>In the middle of a program. The IDF also hit

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:07.560
<v S5>the Irib, Iran's state broadcaster considered a key propaganda arm

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:08.640
<v S5>of the regime.

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.840
<v S7>The center's activities were carried out under the direct guidance

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.280
<v S7>and mission of the Revolutionary Guard. For years, the Revolutionary

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.280
<v S7>Guard has called for the destruction of the State of

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:19.680
<v S7>Israel and genocide.

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.360
<v S5>Monday night, Netanyahu said the campaign is far from over.

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.360
<v S8>We have more goals and we're really going to do

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.080
<v S8>a root canal here. We're changing the face of the

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.559
<v S8>Middle East, and this can lead to far reaching changes,

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.320
<v S8>even within Iran itself.

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.640
<v S9>Iran today is seeing the fastest growth of Christianity than

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.040
<v S9>in any other country in the world today. And they

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:44.920
<v S9>are on fire.

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:49.890
<v S5>CBN's George Thomas has reported Extensively on the underground church

0:08:49.890 --> 0:08:50.730
<v S5>in Iran.

0:08:50.770 --> 0:08:54.090
<v S9>The church is on fire. The Iranian regime is scared

0:08:54.090 --> 0:08:57.730
<v S9>to death of the. Of the rising evangelical movement inside

0:08:57.730 --> 0:09:00.530
<v S9>the country. Not so much about a threat. You know

0:09:00.530 --> 0:09:03.929
<v S9>that they want to depose the regime politically, but they

0:09:03.929 --> 0:09:06.890
<v S9>want to they want to bring a new spirit, uh,

0:09:06.890 --> 0:09:10.850
<v S9>to the country. And there's a tremendous prayer movement that

0:09:10.850 --> 0:09:15.170
<v S9>has been unleashed, uh, in across Iran for many, many years.

0:09:15.170 --> 0:09:19.130
<v S9>So many people seeing dreams and visions, seeing Jesus Christ

0:09:19.130 --> 0:09:20.530
<v S9>in dreams and visions.

0:09:20.570 --> 0:09:24.770
<v S5>He says believers inside Iran need prayer now more than ever.

0:09:24.770 --> 0:09:28.610
<v S9>So pray for continued boldness and the strength and the

0:09:28.610 --> 0:09:31.650
<v S9>courage in the days ahead. Because you know the regime,

0:09:31.970 --> 0:09:35.490
<v S9>when they're cornered, when they're under the spotlight and under

0:09:35.490 --> 0:09:38.450
<v S9>the gun, so to speak, they tend to take their

0:09:38.450 --> 0:09:41.170
<v S9>frustration and their anger on their own people.

0:09:41.210 --> 0:09:43.809
<v S5>Chris Mitchell, CBN news, Jerusalem.

0:09:43.850 --> 0:09:46.570
<v S1>My friend George Thomas is spot on and it echoes

0:09:46.650 --> 0:09:50.850
<v S1>exactly what Doctor Herman has been saying from Iran Alive Ministry.

0:09:50.929 --> 0:09:53.410
<v S1>Remember how many times he comes here and visits and

0:09:53.410 --> 0:09:56.290
<v S1>says that they are changing the nation, one soul at

0:09:56.290 --> 0:09:59.490
<v S1>a time, and that they've decided that Islam doesn't meet

0:09:59.490 --> 0:10:01.970
<v S1>the needs of their heart. Then they stepped away, tried

0:10:02.130 --> 0:10:05.210
<v S1>to be, well, atheist for a while. That left them

0:10:05.210 --> 0:10:08.130
<v S1>empty hearted and empty handed, and they're turning in record

0:10:08.130 --> 0:10:11.370
<v S1>numbers to Christ. At the same time, we have an

0:10:11.370 --> 0:10:14.650
<v S1>exiled prince who's sending through X messages to the Iranian

0:10:14.650 --> 0:10:16.970
<v S1>people saying, I'm ready to come back. We're ready to

0:10:17.010 --> 0:10:20.570
<v S1>start all over again without the ayatollahs. So boy, is

0:10:20.570 --> 0:10:24.010
<v S1>there stuff happening in Tehran and in Iran. And it's

0:10:24.010 --> 0:10:27.010
<v S1>a whole lot more than just bunker busters. Pray for Iran,

0:10:27.050 --> 0:10:29.650
<v S1>pray for wisdom for leaders. Pray for Israel. This is

0:10:29.650 --> 0:10:32.689
<v S1>a crucial tipping point in world history. Back after this.

0:10:41.250 --> 0:10:43.570
<v S1>Have you ever wondered why music moves us so deeply?

0:10:43.570 --> 0:10:46.220
<v S1>Or why beauty takes our breath away? My Truth Tool

0:10:46.220 --> 0:10:48.620
<v S1>this month is a thought provoking book that explores those

0:10:48.620 --> 0:10:50.900
<v S1>moments of wonder we all encounter. It's called Have You

0:10:50.900 --> 0:10:54.179
<v S1>Ever Wondered? Consider how ordinary aspects of life point to

0:10:54.179 --> 0:10:57.500
<v S1>the extraordinary biblical truths. Ask for your copy of. Have

0:10:57.500 --> 0:10:59.140
<v S1>you ever wondered when you give a gift of any

0:10:59.140 --> 0:11:03.540
<v S1>amount in the market, call 877 Janet 58. That's 877

0:11:03.540 --> 0:11:06.660
<v S1>Janet 58 or go to in the market with Janet Parshall.

0:11:10.100 --> 0:11:11.900
<v S1>Time to put on our thinking caps and to be

0:11:11.900 --> 0:11:14.140
<v S1>thinking critically and biblically to help us do that. As

0:11:14.140 --> 0:11:17.540
<v S1>Doctor Michael Njue, an assistant professor of practice at the

0:11:17.580 --> 0:11:20.620
<v S1>Bush School of Business at the Catholic University of America.

0:11:20.860 --> 0:11:23.140
<v S1>That's a mouthful. And a senior associate scholar at the

0:11:23.140 --> 0:11:26.460
<v S1>Charlotte Lozier Institute. He writes all the time at National

0:11:26.460 --> 0:11:29.060
<v S1>Review Online. And I'm so grateful he does, because I

0:11:29.059 --> 0:11:31.300
<v S1>get to glean from his wisdom and he writes about

0:11:31.300 --> 0:11:34.460
<v S1>such tremendously important things. Michael, the warmest of welcomes. I

0:11:34.460 --> 0:11:36.660
<v S1>can't wait to start first with this new Gallup poll,

0:11:36.660 --> 0:11:40.819
<v S1>but I simply must, in light of this stunningly evil

0:11:40.820 --> 0:11:43.020
<v S1>news that comes out of the UK today, let me

0:11:43.020 --> 0:11:46.459
<v S1>just give you a quick thumbnail and get you to respond.

0:11:47.100 --> 0:11:49.579
<v S1>In fact, it was the Archbishop, the lead bishop for

0:11:49.580 --> 0:11:52.819
<v S1>life issues for the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales,

0:11:52.820 --> 0:11:56.460
<v S1>commenting today. And it just happened today on a vote

0:11:56.460 --> 0:11:59.060
<v S1>on the Crime and Policing Bill. And here's what he said. Today,

0:11:59.059 --> 0:12:01.660
<v S1>Parliament passed an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill

0:12:01.860 --> 0:12:05.980
<v S1>that effectively decriminalizes abortion in England and Wales. Were deeply

0:12:05.980 --> 0:12:09.260
<v S1>alarmed by this decision. Our alarm arises from our compassion

0:12:09.260 --> 0:12:13.180
<v S1>for both mothers and unborn babies. New clause one lifts

0:12:13.220 --> 0:12:16.900
<v S1>any criminal liability for women performing their abortions for any reason,

0:12:16.900 --> 0:12:21.780
<v S1>at any time, including up to and during birth. This

0:12:21.780 --> 0:12:25.540
<v S1>decision significantly reduces the protection of unborn lives and will

0:12:25.540 --> 0:12:28.660
<v S1>result in grave harm for pregnant women. Women will even

0:12:28.700 --> 0:12:32.700
<v S1>be more vulnerable to manipulation, coerced, and forced abortions. This

0:12:32.700 --> 0:12:36.100
<v S1>legal challenge will also discourage medical consultation and make the

0:12:36.100 --> 0:12:38.980
<v S1>use of abortion pills for dangerous, late term, at home

0:12:38.980 --> 0:12:41.220
<v S1>abortions more likely. You're not supposed to use the drug

0:12:41.220 --> 0:12:44.070
<v S1>past ten weeks. This is talking about having abortions being

0:12:44.070 --> 0:12:48.470
<v S1>decriminalized up through 40 weeks up to the moment of birth. Michael.

0:12:48.470 --> 0:12:51.150
<v S1>It's stunning. There was a prohibition to abortions after 24

0:12:51.150 --> 0:12:54.150
<v S1>weeks in the UK up to this point. Now it's

0:12:54.470 --> 0:12:56.750
<v S1>they've opened the gates of hell. I am, I'm just

0:12:56.790 --> 0:12:58.350
<v S1>I'm stunned. Your reaction?

0:12:59.150 --> 0:13:01.990
<v S10>No. It's tragic. I mean, you had in Great Britain

0:13:01.990 --> 0:13:06.310
<v S10>the Abortion Act back in 1967. And sadly, Britain was,

0:13:06.350 --> 0:13:08.510
<v S10>you know, one of the first countries in Europe to

0:13:08.550 --> 0:13:13.150
<v S10>really legalise abortion. And that was up to 24 weeks.

0:13:13.590 --> 0:13:16.109
<v S10>That said, like a lot of their counterparts in Europe,

0:13:16.150 --> 0:13:19.630
<v S10>you know, they did have some protections for pre-born children

0:13:19.710 --> 0:13:23.430
<v S10>late in gestation. That's true for many countries in Europe.

0:13:23.710 --> 0:13:28.350
<v S10>It's really sad to see them expand abortion in this way. Um,

0:13:28.390 --> 0:13:31.110
<v S10>you know, I don't see any big change in public

0:13:31.150 --> 0:13:35.150
<v S10>attitudes in Britain on this issue. I'm not sure why

0:13:35.190 --> 0:13:38.150
<v S10>Parliament decided to go in this direction, but it is tragic.

0:13:38.190 --> 0:13:40.950
<v S10>I mean, I don't think Europe is a model, but

0:13:40.950 --> 0:13:44.950
<v S10>I do think at least many European countries do have good,

0:13:44.990 --> 0:13:48.510
<v S10>solid legal limits protecting the preborn. You know, after the

0:13:48.510 --> 0:13:52.230
<v S10>second trimester. Sadly, in Britain, that is no longer the case.

0:13:52.750 --> 0:13:56.750
<v S1>Yeah. Stunning. Just again. Other than this being a spiritual war,

0:13:56.750 --> 0:13:58.630
<v S1>I can't begin to imagine why they felt that this

0:13:58.630 --> 0:14:00.790
<v S1>had to be done at this point in time. Just

0:14:00.830 --> 0:14:03.510
<v S1>absolutely stunning. But closer to home, let's talk about where

0:14:03.510 --> 0:14:06.750
<v S1>America is right now. And so Gallup does this, where

0:14:06.750 --> 0:14:09.670
<v S1>they do an annual poll on sanctity of life issues.

0:14:09.670 --> 0:14:12.270
<v S1>You were Johnny on the spot, as you always are, Michael.

0:14:12.510 --> 0:14:15.270
<v S1>Tell me what the poll asked and what the results were.

0:14:15.990 --> 0:14:18.309
<v S10>Yeah. We got some good news. As you mentioned, Gallup

0:14:18.309 --> 0:14:21.470
<v S10>does a poll every year on abortion. And the good

0:14:21.470 --> 0:14:23.790
<v S10>thing about the Gallup poll is they typically ask the

0:14:23.790 --> 0:14:26.670
<v S10>same question. So it's a very good way to track

0:14:26.830 --> 0:14:31.030
<v S10>public opinion and trends in public opinion over time. And

0:14:31.030 --> 0:14:33.910
<v S10>this year we got some good news. We found that

0:14:33.910 --> 0:14:37.270
<v S10>the percentage of people who identify as pro-life went up.

0:14:37.710 --> 0:14:41.400
<v S10>They asked people to identify as pro-choice or pro-life, and

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.270
<v S10>the percentage of people identifying as pro-life increased from 41%

0:14:45.270 --> 0:14:50.640
<v S10>to 43%. So a two percentage point gain. Not spectacular,

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.360
<v S10>but it's at least going in the right direction. Yes, yes.

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.680
<v S10>And we also, you know, there are other questions also

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.360
<v S10>indicate kind of greater pro-life sentiment. There was a small

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.880
<v S10>gain in the percentage of people who thought that abortion

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:07.120
<v S10>was morally unacceptable. That was a good sign. There's also

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.640
<v S10>a small percentage gain, the percentage of people who thought

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.000
<v S10>that abortion should be either illegal in all cases or

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.200
<v S10>legal in only a few cases. So a number of

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.560
<v S10>questions kind of showed an increase in pro-life sentiment.

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.920
<v S1>Wow. So again, I will take any victory. I'll take

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.400
<v S1>it if I give an inch at a time or

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:26.960
<v S1>a mile at a time. But it's moving, as you

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.600
<v S1>noted rightly, in the right direction. Just from your astute

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.720
<v S1>vantage point, why? Why are the numbers moving at all?

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.400
<v S1>Why are they moving in the right direction?

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.760
<v S10>Well, first, I think the move in the right direction

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.880
<v S10>is important because in many respects, 2024 could have been

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.560
<v S10>a very tough year for pro-lifers. Kamala Harris made legal

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:50.760
<v S10>abortion the centerpiece of her presidential campaign and campaigned pretty

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:55.800
<v S10>aggressively on this issue. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, uh,

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.400
<v S10>he did not come out in favor of any kind

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.680
<v S10>of federal legislation to protect the Preborn, uh, during this campaign.

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.080
<v S10>He also didn't really make any kind of a strong

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.520
<v S10>case for existing pro-life laws. So I've always thought that

0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.320
<v S10>the pro-life movement is always helped by Republican candidate who

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.720
<v S10>at least makes a good pro-life argument on stage. Uh,

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.520
<v S10>that didn't happen with Donald Trump and the debates that we, uh,

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.200
<v S10>we had, uh, that's why the public opinion moving in

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.800
<v S10>good direction. So I just think it's kind of a

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.640
<v S10>regression to the mean. Uh, I think in the aftermath

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.440
<v S10>of Dobbs, uh, there was a gain in, quote unquote,

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.840
<v S10>pro-abortion sentiment. Uh, you know, the media coverage, uh, was

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.490
<v S10>not fair. I think a lot of people misunderstood the decision.

0:16:40.890 --> 0:16:44.330
<v S10>They thought it would be an abortion everywhere, which it didn't.

0:16:44.810 --> 0:16:47.690
<v S10>I think that, you know, once people have kind of

0:16:47.730 --> 0:16:52.530
<v S10>seen the aftermath of Dobbs, uh, and it's been three years, almost, um,

0:16:52.570 --> 0:16:54.850
<v S10>you know, their opinions are kind of trending back to

0:16:54.890 --> 0:16:57.290
<v S10>where they were in the past. So I see this,

0:16:57.290 --> 0:16:59.370
<v S10>by and large, as a bit of a regression to

0:16:59.370 --> 0:16:59.930
<v S10>the mean.

0:17:00.490 --> 0:17:03.490
<v S1>Yeah. Wow. Insight, as always, Michael, thank you so very

0:17:03.490 --> 0:17:06.170
<v S1>much for that. Well, we're not done because Michael again

0:17:06.170 --> 0:17:08.890
<v S1>has written another piece. And this one I think is

0:17:08.890 --> 0:17:11.450
<v S1>equally as important. And I want you to hear what

0:17:11.450 --> 0:17:14.850
<v S1>his thoughts are about where young people are when it

0:17:14.850 --> 0:17:18.050
<v S1>comes to the pro-life movement. Doctor Michael Njoo is with us.

0:17:18.090 --> 0:17:20.250
<v S1>I've got great links on my website, by the way.

0:17:20.290 --> 0:17:22.290
<v S1>He's back. The article that we just talked about was

0:17:22.290 --> 0:17:24.090
<v S1>on National Review Online. I've got a hot link for

0:17:24.090 --> 0:17:26.010
<v S1>you to be able to check that out. I've also

0:17:26.010 --> 0:17:27.969
<v S1>got a link, by the way, to the Charlotte two

0:17:28.010 --> 0:17:30.410
<v S1>following x. I'm changed it this time. I want people

0:17:30.410 --> 0:17:32.730
<v S1>to be able to follow Michael on X, so I've

0:17:32.730 --> 0:17:34.690
<v S1>got a direct link to his X account there as well.

0:17:34.690 --> 0:17:37.050
<v S1>So check it out in the market with Janet Parshall.

0:17:38.290 --> 0:17:40.970
<v S1>Click on the red box that says Program Details and Audio,

0:17:40.970 --> 0:17:42.449
<v S1>and it'll take you where you need to go. More

0:17:42.450 --> 0:17:58.370
<v S1>with Doctor Michael Njoo right after this. Always a joy

0:17:58.369 --> 0:18:00.570
<v S1>to spend time with Doctor Michael Njoo, who is a

0:18:00.570 --> 0:18:03.930
<v S1>professor at the business school at the Catholic University of America.

0:18:04.050 --> 0:18:07.930
<v S1>He's also a senior associate scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute,

0:18:07.930 --> 0:18:10.889
<v S1>and he writes regularly for National Review Online. And he

0:18:10.890 --> 0:18:14.210
<v S1>did a superb job of breaking down this annual poll

0:18:14.210 --> 0:18:16.250
<v S1>that Gallup does. I'm glad they do it. By the way,

0:18:16.250 --> 0:18:19.610
<v S1>on where Americans stand on the issue of sanctity of life.

0:18:19.810 --> 0:18:23.369
<v S1>And so just rightfully noted that while these aren't mother,

0:18:23.369 --> 0:18:25.810
<v S1>may I take a giant step? Steps. These are baby steps.

0:18:25.810 --> 0:18:27.930
<v S1>They're moving in the right direction. So we win this

0:18:27.930 --> 0:18:30.649
<v S1>battle one heart at a time. But it seems to

0:18:30.650 --> 0:18:35.060
<v S1>me probably the very most important demographic in this polling

0:18:35.060 --> 0:18:37.940
<v S1>pool would be young people. You dug into that, Michael,

0:18:37.940 --> 0:18:38.740
<v S1>what did you find?

0:18:39.300 --> 0:18:41.980
<v S10>Well, it's interesting that, you know, when Gallup released the results,

0:18:41.980 --> 0:18:45.379
<v S10>they highlight what they think is important. And they highlighted

0:18:45.380 --> 0:18:49.139
<v S10>a gender gap between men and women. They highlighted political polarization.

0:18:49.220 --> 0:18:51.660
<v S10>One thing they didn't talk about was the fact that

0:18:51.660 --> 0:18:55.460
<v S10>this poll provides very strong evidence that young people, you know,

0:18:55.500 --> 0:18:58.820
<v S10>young adults aged 18 to 29 are becoming a lot

0:18:58.820 --> 0:19:02.580
<v S10>more pro-life. If you compare the 2025 Gallup poll to

0:19:02.619 --> 0:19:06.139
<v S10>the 2023 Gallup poll, the percentage of young people who

0:19:06.140 --> 0:19:10.340
<v S10>identify as pro-life increased by eight percentage points. That's a

0:19:10.340 --> 0:19:13.940
<v S10>pretty big jump in two years. Secondly, percentage of young

0:19:13.940 --> 0:19:16.940
<v S10>people who thought abortion should be a legal option in

0:19:16.940 --> 0:19:21.739
<v S10>all circumstances fell by 14 points. So a number of

0:19:21.740 --> 0:19:24.739
<v S10>questions show that in a two year time span, you know,

0:19:24.780 --> 0:19:27.820
<v S10>young people are a lot more likely to identify as pro-life.

0:19:27.859 --> 0:19:29.899
<v S10>They're less likely to think abortion should be a legal

0:19:29.900 --> 0:19:33.100
<v S10>option in all circumstances. So we made some real headway

0:19:33.220 --> 0:19:35.740
<v S10>with young people in a relatively short amount of time.

0:19:36.340 --> 0:19:39.179
<v S1>Yeah. And again, I'm thrilled. So I'm a white person,

0:19:39.180 --> 0:19:41.379
<v S1>you know that when you come to visit. So I'm

0:19:41.380 --> 0:19:43.699
<v S1>hoping that perhaps, maybe one of the reasons for the

0:19:43.700 --> 0:19:46.180
<v S1>shift and again, we don't have permission and we weren't

0:19:46.180 --> 0:19:48.460
<v S1>created by God with x ray eyes to look into

0:19:48.500 --> 0:19:51.180
<v S1>somebody's heart so we can just look at the outside

0:19:51.180 --> 0:19:53.020
<v S1>and try to guess what some of the causal factors

0:19:53.020 --> 0:19:56.220
<v S1>are here. I'm wondering when you look at this particular demographic,

0:19:56.220 --> 0:19:58.780
<v S1>if it's maybe, perhaps particularly for women, I don't know

0:19:58.780 --> 0:20:01.100
<v S1>if it's as much for men, but they've seen their

0:20:01.100 --> 0:20:04.180
<v S1>friends go through this. And while they, quote, got rid

0:20:04.220 --> 0:20:08.060
<v S1>of their problem, their inconvenience, it didn't make them happier.

0:20:08.060 --> 0:20:10.820
<v S1>They weren't joyous. There was a sadness, a brokenness in

0:20:10.820 --> 0:20:13.340
<v S1>the heart, the spirit mentally, physically. There could have been

0:20:13.340 --> 0:20:15.379
<v S1>a price that was paid. And they thought, you know,

0:20:15.420 --> 0:20:17.860
<v S1>it's not get rid of your problem. It isn't this

0:20:17.859 --> 0:20:20.820
<v S1>clump of cells and, you know, and Alice in Wonderland,

0:20:20.820 --> 0:20:22.820
<v S1>take this little pill and all your problems will go away.

0:20:22.820 --> 0:20:25.420
<v S1>It wasn't that at all that there are concentric circles

0:20:25.420 --> 0:20:28.700
<v S1>of impacts for an irreversible decision. I know you must

0:20:28.700 --> 0:20:31.020
<v S1>have looked at this as well. And I know you

0:20:31.060 --> 0:20:33.430
<v S1>play with the numbers beautifully, but you also must be

0:20:33.430 --> 0:20:35.750
<v S1>thinking what are causal factors? So why do you think

0:20:35.750 --> 0:20:36.390
<v S1>the shift.

0:20:37.190 --> 0:20:39.750
<v S10>Well it's interesting. One thing we're noticing right now is

0:20:39.750 --> 0:20:42.270
<v S10>that young men are actually a lot more likely to

0:20:42.270 --> 0:20:45.510
<v S10>attend church. Uh, there's a big body of evidence to

0:20:45.510 --> 0:20:48.790
<v S10>show that when you look at, you know, demographics of

0:20:48.830 --> 0:20:53.350
<v S10>church attendees among almost every age demographic, uh, women are

0:20:53.350 --> 0:20:55.870
<v S10>more likely to attend than men. But among young people,

0:20:55.869 --> 0:20:58.550
<v S10>young men are attending church in a lot higher numbers.

0:20:58.550 --> 0:21:01.350
<v S10>So I think that's actually driving. I think you do

0:21:01.430 --> 0:21:05.430
<v S10>see greater pro-life sentiment among young men, especially this poll

0:21:05.430 --> 0:21:07.550
<v S10>didn't really go into that. Uh, but we do see

0:21:07.550 --> 0:21:10.310
<v S10>in Great Britain, uh, they did a poll recently and

0:21:10.310 --> 0:21:13.950
<v S10>British men aged 16 to 34 were actually the demographic

0:21:14.150 --> 0:21:17.790
<v S10>most opposed to legal abortion. So I do think you

0:21:17.790 --> 0:21:20.750
<v S10>have something interesting happening among men who are more churchgoing,

0:21:20.790 --> 0:21:24.230
<v S10>more conservative, pushing back against the culture. I think that's

0:21:24.230 --> 0:21:26.109
<v S10>playing a role. I do think what you said is

0:21:26.109 --> 0:21:28.790
<v S10>also correct, that, you know, women do see their peers

0:21:28.790 --> 0:21:32.310
<v S10>and friends obtaining abortion and the right. It's not a

0:21:32.310 --> 0:21:34.790
<v S10>cure all. It doesn't. You know, there may be some

0:21:34.790 --> 0:21:39.350
<v S10>short term relief, but there is, you know, consequences. There

0:21:39.350 --> 0:21:41.630
<v S10>are after effects. And I do think, you know, women

0:21:41.630 --> 0:21:43.590
<v S10>are aware of that. And I think that's playing a

0:21:43.590 --> 0:21:44.389
<v S10>role as well.

0:21:44.869 --> 0:21:47.070
<v S1>Yeah. I think you're very spot on. Let me go

0:21:47.070 --> 0:21:48.830
<v S1>back to the poll that you referenced in your article

0:21:48.830 --> 0:21:51.270
<v S1>coming out of Great Britain. Again, I'm thrilled to hear

0:21:51.270 --> 0:21:54.510
<v S1>that there is a linkage potentially between men who go

0:21:54.510 --> 0:21:57.470
<v S1>to church and men who are less likely to support

0:21:57.510 --> 0:22:00.710
<v S1>legal abortion than any other demographic group. It has everything

0:22:00.710 --> 0:22:02.950
<v S1>to do with a biblical worldview. We talk about this

0:22:02.950 --> 0:22:05.510
<v S1>all the time on this program. It is that grid

0:22:05.510 --> 0:22:08.390
<v S1>through which you push all your life decisions, and it's

0:22:08.430 --> 0:22:11.510
<v S1>biblical centric when it's built on transcendent truth. It is

0:22:11.510 --> 0:22:13.790
<v S1>amazing how all of a sudden the world goes from

0:22:13.790 --> 0:22:16.070
<v S1>black and white into Technicolor. We talk about that all

0:22:16.070 --> 0:22:19.590
<v S1>the time on this program. You wonder also if men

0:22:19.590 --> 0:22:23.310
<v S1>because we we fail so often to recognize the dad's

0:22:23.310 --> 0:22:25.750
<v S1>role in all of this, that if it's my body,

0:22:25.750 --> 0:22:28.869
<v S1>my choice, a man, the dad doesn't have anything to

0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:31.000
<v S1>say most of the time. So there's some real heartbreaking

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.680
<v S1>stories about this. I'm wondering if, in addition to church,

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.359
<v S1>it was the fact that it wasn't just the mother

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.040
<v S1>who lost the child, it was the father who lost

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:37.919
<v S1>the child as well.

0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.920
<v S10>True. I mean, Post-abortive men are, you know, very powerful spokespeople.

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.720
<v S10>Men are often left out of this discussion. They're often

0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:48.120
<v S10>left out of the conversation. You know, I know men

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.240
<v S10>are often very upset. You know, I run a pro-life

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.800
<v S10>sidewalk counseling ministry outside the D.C. Planned Parenthood. You know,

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:55.840
<v S10>I've talked to men who are very upset about the

0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.160
<v S10>decision their partners making. There's even an individual who comes

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.120
<v S10>and joins us, holds up a sign, you know, very powerful.

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:05.919
<v S10>Said something to the effect of, you know, pregnancy loss,

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:10.879
<v S10>you know, 1992 to 2025, you know, 33 years of

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:14.080
<v S10>lost fatherhood. And I still regret it. So he stands

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:16.600
<v S10>very quietly with a sign. It's very powerful. You know,

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.520
<v S10>I think that's playing a role as well. I think

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:21.040
<v S10>that men who are involved, you know, whose partners have

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:24.560
<v S10>had abortion, especially when they didn't feel included, especially when

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:26.600
<v S10>they feel it was against their wishes, you know, they

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:28.889
<v S10>become a very strong pro-life constituency.

0:23:29.450 --> 0:23:31.930
<v S1>Wow, Michael, I can't tell you how impressed I am

0:23:31.930 --> 0:23:34.450
<v S1>that all the research that you do in the world

0:23:34.450 --> 0:23:37.090
<v S1>of academia and the crunching of the numbers, and then

0:23:37.090 --> 0:23:39.530
<v S1>writing it in such a way that the culture understands

0:23:39.530 --> 0:23:42.609
<v S1>surveys and reports and data. And yet, I want to

0:23:42.609 --> 0:23:44.210
<v S1>make sure our friends heard what you just said, that

0:23:44.210 --> 0:23:46.570
<v S1>you run a pro-life ministry outside of an abortion clinic

0:23:46.570 --> 0:23:50.130
<v S1>in Washington, DC. Give me 30s of what's that like?

0:23:50.170 --> 0:23:51.850
<v S1>Does it how do you keep going? And I bet

0:23:51.850 --> 0:23:53.250
<v S1>there are a lot of people listening who would ask

0:23:53.250 --> 0:23:55.570
<v S1>the same question. How do you keep going when you

0:23:55.570 --> 0:23:58.530
<v S1>see two people walk in one that's visible with the

0:23:58.530 --> 0:24:01.290
<v S1>naked eye, one that's not, and one person walks out.

0:24:01.290 --> 0:24:02.489
<v S1>How do you deal with that? Why do you go

0:24:02.490 --> 0:24:03.450
<v S1>back every Saturday?

0:24:03.970 --> 0:24:06.290
<v S10>You just be prayerful. I mean, I love doing radio.

0:24:06.330 --> 0:24:09.450
<v S10>I love writing, but, you know, we can't win this

0:24:09.450 --> 0:24:11.130
<v S10>flying a desk. You know, we have to be where

0:24:11.130 --> 0:24:13.770
<v S10>abortions are happening. So I just felt called to be there.

0:24:13.810 --> 0:24:17.129
<v S10>Be a prayerful presence, offer alternatives. I need the prayers

0:24:17.130 --> 0:24:19.570
<v S10>of all your listeners to spiritual battle. But it's important

0:24:19.570 --> 0:24:21.250
<v S10>to do it. And I'll be there this Saturday and

0:24:21.250 --> 0:24:22.449
<v S10>every Saturday I'm in town.

0:24:22.930 --> 0:24:25.330
<v S1>Amen. I just love this guy. Michael, thank you so much.

0:24:25.330 --> 0:24:27.770
<v S1>What a joy. Keep writing. Keep letting me know when

0:24:27.770 --> 0:24:30.770
<v S1>your articles are coming out, because I gallop. I swallow

0:24:30.770 --> 0:24:33.290
<v S1>and gobble down everything that you write. So thank you

0:24:33.290 --> 0:24:35.490
<v S1>for that. Again, I want you to follow him on X.

0:24:35.490 --> 0:24:37.370
<v S1>So I've got a link on my information page. So

0:24:37.369 --> 0:24:40.330
<v S1>you can just do that and follow him. Also the

0:24:40.330 --> 0:24:42.490
<v S1>first article we talked about actually it's the same poll

0:24:42.530 --> 0:24:44.889
<v S1>to the Gallup poll that was just done. I've got

0:24:44.890 --> 0:24:46.409
<v S1>a link so you can read some more for yourself.

0:24:46.410 --> 0:24:48.330
<v S1>Thank you Michael. We're going to take a break. Friends.

0:24:48.369 --> 0:24:57.930
<v S1>Be right back after this. There's a sense of anxiety

0:24:57.930 --> 0:25:00.050
<v S1>in our country, and I know you feel it, too.

0:25:00.290 --> 0:25:02.649
<v S1>As a partial partner, you can help reach the world

0:25:02.650 --> 0:25:05.929
<v S1>with the truth and peace found only in Christ. And

0:25:05.930 --> 0:25:08.770
<v S1>as a partial partner, you'll receive exclusive behind the scenes

0:25:08.770 --> 0:25:11.689
<v S1>information and benefits directly from me, keeping you up to

0:25:11.730 --> 0:25:13.930
<v S1>date on what's going on in our world. So call

0:25:13.930 --> 0:25:17.649
<v S1>877 Janet 58 or go online to in the market

0:25:17.650 --> 0:25:23.689
<v S1>with Janet parshall.org. So in case you don't know this,

0:25:23.690 --> 0:25:26.899
<v S1>God is not a big fan of global consolidations. How

0:25:26.900 --> 0:25:28.580
<v S1>do I know that? Well, because I read his word

0:25:28.580 --> 0:25:30.220
<v S1>and I give you the Tower of Babel and a

0:25:30.220 --> 0:25:32.580
<v S1>fellow by the name of Nimrod. And when they were

0:25:32.580 --> 0:25:35.419
<v S1>trying to create this global entity, what did God do?

0:25:35.460 --> 0:25:38.020
<v S1>He scattered the nations and they each spoke in a

0:25:38.020 --> 0:25:40.620
<v S1>different tongue. Right? Not only that, but the Old Testament

0:25:40.619 --> 0:25:44.260
<v S1>is replete with nations setting boundaries. And those boundaries were

0:25:44.260 --> 0:25:47.419
<v S1>guarded and they were defended. And God is very big

0:25:47.420 --> 0:25:49.459
<v S1>on the idea of national sovereignty. I tell you that

0:25:49.460 --> 0:25:52.300
<v S1>as a backdrop, because when you see global events happening

0:25:52.300 --> 0:25:55.459
<v S1>that move in stark directions, the opposite directions of what

0:25:55.500 --> 0:25:58.540
<v S1>God said, you better pay attention. And somebody who's paying attention,

0:25:58.540 --> 0:26:00.979
<v S1>like nobody I know is Reggie Littlejohn, one of my

0:26:00.980 --> 0:26:04.260
<v S1>personal heroes. She's the founder and president of Women's Rights

0:26:04.260 --> 0:26:07.300
<v S1>Without Frontiers. She's so many things. She wears 15 different hats,

0:26:07.340 --> 0:26:09.580
<v S1>all of them beautifully. By the way, she's a graduate

0:26:09.580 --> 0:26:12.379
<v S1>of Yale Law School. She's an acclaimed international expert on

0:26:12.380 --> 0:26:15.979
<v S1>China's one child policy. Now their three child policy. Her

0:26:15.980 --> 0:26:18.300
<v S1>organization has been called the leading voice in the battle

0:26:18.340 --> 0:26:22.420
<v S1>to expose and oppose forced abortion and gendercide. But she's

0:26:22.420 --> 0:26:26.700
<v S1>also gotten very involved in this issue of globalism, and

0:26:26.700 --> 0:26:29.699
<v S1>particularly what the W.H.O., the World Health Organization and the

0:26:29.740 --> 0:26:32.820
<v S1>UN and other global entities are trying to do. And so,

0:26:32.820 --> 0:26:35.660
<v S1>as a result, her battles now have expanded to the

0:26:35.660 --> 0:26:39.100
<v S1>issue of defending national sovereignty. In fact, if you go

0:26:39.100 --> 0:26:42.100
<v S1>to her website, I love the fact that she has

0:26:42.100 --> 0:26:44.459
<v S1>Joan of Arc right at the top of the page,

0:26:44.460 --> 0:26:49.540
<v S1>the Anti-globalist international, and the subset says Resisting the Great Reset.

0:26:49.540 --> 0:26:51.620
<v S1>This all comes out of Soros and what's going on

0:26:51.619 --> 0:26:53.899
<v S1>at Davos and all this other stuff we talk about

0:26:53.900 --> 0:26:57.100
<v S1>all the time. But in May, something very significant happened,

0:26:57.100 --> 0:26:59.340
<v S1>something that Reggie and I have been talking about, and

0:26:59.340 --> 0:27:02.740
<v S1>that was this unbridled power grab by the World Health

0:27:02.740 --> 0:27:06.980
<v S1>Organization to basically say, we're King's Unappointed Self-anointed, and we're

0:27:06.980 --> 0:27:09.260
<v S1>going to determine what constitutes a pandemic, and we're going

0:27:09.260 --> 0:27:10.940
<v S1>to tell other nations what they need to do. Thanks

0:27:10.980 --> 0:27:12.860
<v S1>be to God. America said, thanks, but no thanks. We're

0:27:12.859 --> 0:27:15.740
<v S1>not going to plan this. It didn't stop them, however,

0:27:15.740 --> 0:27:18.100
<v S1>from moving forward. And that's why I want to bring

0:27:18.100 --> 0:27:21.219
<v S1>Reggie into the conversation so she can give you an update.

0:27:21.220 --> 0:27:23.590
<v S1>And again, this isn't fear mongering, it's about being a

0:27:23.630 --> 0:27:27.270
<v S1>watchman on the wall. Nehemiah Wright, watchman on the wall

0:27:27.270 --> 0:27:30.830
<v S1>watching what's happening. So, Reggie May 20th. What happened?

0:27:32.109 --> 0:27:34.710
<v S11>Hi, Janet. Thank you so much for having me on.

0:27:35.150 --> 0:27:38.830
<v S11>On May 20th, the World Health Assembly, which is the

0:27:39.030 --> 0:27:43.230
<v S11>annual gathering of the World Health Organization, voted to pass

0:27:43.390 --> 0:27:48.670
<v S11>the pandemic treaty. And what this does is it, as

0:27:48.670 --> 0:27:52.510
<v S11>you said, it makes the W.H.O. front and center in

0:27:52.510 --> 0:27:56.630
<v S11>terms of directing international health policy. So what they say

0:27:56.630 --> 0:27:59.190
<v S11>in the preamble is that the World Health Organization is

0:27:59.190 --> 0:28:03.190
<v S11>the directing and coordinating authority on international health work. This

0:28:03.190 --> 0:28:06.830
<v S11>is not just to deal with existing pandemics. It's also

0:28:06.830 --> 0:28:12.710
<v S11>between pandemics. And also they are expecting all member organizations

0:28:12.710 --> 0:28:16.910
<v S11>to amend their domestic, legal and regulatory frameworks to align

0:28:16.910 --> 0:28:20.510
<v S11>with the World Health Organization and the treaty. So they're absolutely,

0:28:20.630 --> 0:28:26.550
<v S11>like you said, making themselves king, you know, self-appointed self-anointed. Yeah, exactly.

0:28:26.590 --> 0:28:29.350
<v S11>Go in, go into some of the problems with this agreement.

0:28:30.350 --> 0:28:31.790
<v S1>Please do. But let me, just as a point of

0:28:31.790 --> 0:28:33.710
<v S1>reference here for my friends, remember what it was like

0:28:33.710 --> 0:28:37.230
<v S1>when we had little potentates here in this country basically

0:28:37.230 --> 0:28:39.390
<v S1>become powers and fiefdoms onto their own and said, you

0:28:39.390 --> 0:28:41.310
<v S1>can't go to church. Oh, we'll keep the abortion clinics

0:28:41.310 --> 0:28:43.430
<v S1>in the liquor store and the tattoo shops open, but

0:28:43.430 --> 0:28:45.469
<v S1>you can't go to church. And a lot of churches

0:28:45.510 --> 0:28:48.550
<v S1>acquiesced until they went, no, no, this far and no farther.

0:28:48.550 --> 0:28:50.150
<v S1>And they pushed back and said, you don't have that

0:28:50.150 --> 0:28:53.230
<v S1>kind of control and authority. This is monstrously on a

0:28:53.230 --> 0:28:56.590
<v S1>global stage. So again, these are not elected officials who

0:28:56.630 --> 0:29:00.430
<v S1>have said to other countries, again, disrespecting the concept of

0:29:00.430 --> 0:29:03.070
<v S1>national sovereignty, we're going to take over. So tell me

0:29:03.070 --> 0:29:04.990
<v S1>exactly what happened. How does this break down?

0:29:05.990 --> 0:29:08.390
<v S11>Well, one of the things I want to emphasize is

0:29:08.390 --> 0:29:13.110
<v S11>that even though President Trump thanked God, withdrew us from

0:29:13.110 --> 0:29:16.710
<v S11>the World Health Organization, what the World Health Organization does

0:29:16.710 --> 0:29:20.760
<v S11>can still just greatly affect us. So here's a couple

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:24.560
<v S11>of examples. One is the Pathogen Access and benefit sharing system.

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.920
<v S11>And this system to me is just crazy. What it

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:31.600
<v S11>does is it encourages nations to go out into their

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:36.520
<v S11>jungles or wherever and find pathogens that could cause pandemics

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:40.280
<v S11>and then send them to the World Health Organization. You know,

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:41.880
<v S11>what they should do is just leave those in the

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:43.520
<v S11>jungle and just quarantine them.

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:44.200
<v S1>Right, exactly.

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:46.560
<v S11>You know, but but you send them to the World

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:49.520
<v S11>Health Organization, and then the World Health Organization will then

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:53.440
<v S11>send them to labs all over the world, purportedly so

0:29:53.440 --> 0:29:57.880
<v S11>that they will, you know, create vaccines or other therapeutics.

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:01.280
<v S11>But what this does is it greatly expands the chances

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:04.520
<v S11>of another lab leak, like like the one that happened

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:07.760
<v S11>with Covid 19, which now the most credible theory is

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.760
<v S11>that it did leak from a lab and not did

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.760
<v S11>not spread from a bat, a bat. So it increases

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:16.520
<v S11>the chances of lab leaks. It increases the chances of

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:19.080
<v S11>these pathogens getting into the wrong hands of somebody who

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:23.040
<v S11>would want to, you know, launch a bioterrorist attack. Um,

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:27.200
<v S11>and what this does is it creates basically a never

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:30.680
<v S11>ending stream of income for big pharma with all the

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:33.200
<v S11>vaccines that the World Health Organization has no doubt going

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:36.760
<v S11>to recommend to deal with these pandemics. And it also

0:30:36.760 --> 0:30:40.120
<v S11>gives countries who are so inclined the pretext to keep

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.520
<v S11>their citizens locked down and out of church and all

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:47.080
<v S11>the rest of it. So, um, it's a recipe for

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:51.160
<v S11>totalitarian control. So and this will affect the United States

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:54.760
<v S11>because pathogens know no boundaries. And if we're going to

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.840
<v S11>get infected just like everybody else, and if the entire

0:30:57.880 --> 0:30:59.840
<v S11>rest of the world is shut down, it's going to

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:02.080
<v S11>affect the United States in terms of supply chains and

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:02.880
<v S11>everything else.

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:08.160
<v S1>Let me contextualize that again too, because excellent. Brilliant as always. Points.

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:11.640
<v S1>So first of all, the arrogance, the hubris of the W.H.O. saying,

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:13.480
<v S1>send it to us, we'll send it to labs. Thanks,

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:15.880
<v S1>but no thanks again. When did you get anointed king?

0:31:16.130 --> 0:31:17.970
<v S1>Second of all, it'd be great if we were all

0:31:18.010 --> 0:31:21.650
<v S1>good actors. But basically, given the human condition, I wouldn't

0:31:21.690 --> 0:31:24.210
<v S1>trust anybody to put this in the hands of the WTO.

0:31:24.250 --> 0:31:26.130
<v S1>In fact, on that note, tell our friends who the

0:31:26.130 --> 0:31:27.970
<v S1>Secretary is for the W.H.O..

0:31:28.970 --> 0:31:33.170
<v S11>Well, um, the director general is. His name is um,

0:31:33.250 --> 0:31:38.690
<v S11>Tedros Ghebreyesus, and he is, uh, like a Marxist from

0:31:38.690 --> 0:31:44.330
<v S11>Ethiopia and was put in office, uh, according to credible reports,

0:31:44.370 --> 0:31:46.810
<v S11>more or less by the Chinese Communist Party and played

0:31:46.810 --> 0:31:53.570
<v S11>a major role in basically just parroting the lies of

0:31:53.570 --> 0:31:56.450
<v S11>the Chinese Communist Party at the beginning of the last pandemic,

0:31:56.450 --> 0:31:58.690
<v S11>where they said there was no human to human transmission,

0:31:58.690 --> 0:32:02.090
<v S11>and he just blasted that out all over the world. Um,

0:32:02.090 --> 0:32:04.130
<v S11>they said that there was no need to to shut

0:32:04.130 --> 0:32:07.130
<v S11>down flights from China. He blasted that out over the world.

0:32:07.130 --> 0:32:10.050
<v S11>And what that did is it enabled the whole world

0:32:10.050 --> 0:32:11.170
<v S11>to get infected. Because.

0:32:11.210 --> 0:32:11.810
<v S1>Exactly.

0:32:12.250 --> 0:32:14.969
<v S11>Because no one was on their guard. Because W.H.O. said

0:32:15.130 --> 0:32:17.730
<v S11>there's no human to human transmission. And then China was

0:32:17.730 --> 0:32:19.770
<v S11>sending flights all over the world, so the whole world

0:32:19.770 --> 0:32:20.730
<v S11>got infected.

0:32:20.770 --> 0:32:22.610
<v S1>That's exactly right. And by the way, on that note,

0:32:22.610 --> 0:32:24.610
<v S1>aside from the fact that they're complicit, who knows how

0:32:24.610 --> 0:32:27.570
<v S1>many deaths are attributable to what the secretary general of

0:32:27.570 --> 0:32:30.290
<v S1>the W.H.O. did? And he was working as an operative

0:32:30.290 --> 0:32:33.170
<v S1>for the communist government, which makes me physically ill. But

0:32:33.170 --> 0:32:35.170
<v S1>we just arrested, talked to Bill Gertz in the Washington

0:32:35.170 --> 0:32:38.610
<v S1>Times yesterday, Reggie. And he reports about these three Chinese

0:32:38.610 --> 0:32:42.450
<v S1>nationals that brought in these these toxins. One was designed

0:32:42.450 --> 0:32:44.850
<v S1>to go specifically after what they call crap. So they

0:32:44.850 --> 0:32:47.250
<v S1>called it agro terror. So it hit wheat and barley

0:32:47.250 --> 0:32:50.090
<v S1>and maize and rice without in the smokeless war that

0:32:50.090 --> 0:32:52.210
<v S1>China wants to engage in without firing a bullet, they

0:32:52.210 --> 0:32:54.330
<v S1>could wipe out our crops. Second of all, one is

0:32:54.330 --> 0:32:57.930
<v S1>called a vomit toxin. And it's got parasites. Ringworms that

0:32:57.930 --> 0:32:59.890
<v S1>not only would make people sick, but would make the

0:32:59.930 --> 0:33:03.410
<v S1>animals sick, diarrhea, vomit, lose their weight. It would destroy

0:33:03.450 --> 0:33:05.690
<v S1>our crops as well. So I bring that up only

0:33:05.690 --> 0:33:09.130
<v S1>because those are the ideas. Again, if Fox sends a bioterrorism.

0:33:09.130 --> 0:33:11.690
<v S1>So you're going to find a pathogen in some forest somewhere,

0:33:11.730 --> 0:33:14.300
<v S1>send it to the W.H.O. so they can then send

0:33:14.300 --> 0:33:16.140
<v S1>it to lab so they can create a vaccine. And oh,

0:33:16.140 --> 0:33:18.460
<v S1>by the way, how many of our antibiotics are currently

0:33:18.460 --> 0:33:21.580
<v S1>being manufactured in China? Follow the dots here. It doesn't

0:33:21.580 --> 0:33:22.180
<v S1>end well.

0:33:23.180 --> 0:33:25.820
<v S11>Well, yeah. I mean this is okay. What people need

0:33:25.820 --> 0:33:29.340
<v S11>to understand is that the Chinese Communist Party declared a

0:33:29.340 --> 0:33:33.620
<v S11>people's war on the United States long ago. They consider

0:33:33.620 --> 0:33:38.140
<v S11>us to be an enemy. We, especially under Biden, um,

0:33:38.260 --> 0:33:41.220
<v S11>you know, consider them basically to be a competitor. No,

0:33:41.460 --> 0:33:45.900
<v S11>they are an enemy. Their goal is by 2049, which

0:33:45.900 --> 0:33:48.860
<v S11>is the 100 year anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party takeover,

0:33:48.860 --> 0:33:51.260
<v S11>that they want to be the world hegemon. They want

0:33:51.300 --> 0:33:54.740
<v S11>to be the main dominant force in the world. And

0:33:54.780 --> 0:33:58.380
<v S11>standing in their way is the United States. And so

0:33:58.620 --> 0:34:02.580
<v S11>we should not be getting so many of our pharmaceutical

0:34:02.740 --> 0:34:09.259
<v S11>medications from China or also our military parts, the parts

0:34:09.260 --> 0:34:11.739
<v S11>that we use in our in our military equipment. A

0:34:11.739 --> 0:34:14.220
<v S11>lot of it comes from our enemies. This is not.

0:34:14.260 --> 0:34:16.900
<v S11>This is very, very unwise, to say the least.

0:34:16.940 --> 0:34:20.180
<v S1>Exactly right. Wow. Okay. So part of this is again,

0:34:20.180 --> 0:34:22.980
<v S1>who says you send us these pathogens and we'll take

0:34:22.980 --> 0:34:25.380
<v S1>it from here. What else happened as a result of this?

0:34:26.140 --> 0:34:29.819
<v S11>Well, there's a number of things. One of the other

0:34:29.820 --> 0:34:33.540
<v S11>things is that that countries who signed on to this,

0:34:33.860 --> 0:34:38.020
<v S11>that they are required to strengthen their domestic regulations in

0:34:38.020 --> 0:34:42.340
<v S11>order to fast track approvals of vaccines and other medications.

0:34:42.620 --> 0:34:46.020
<v S11>And so this is what happened even under Covid, is

0:34:46.020 --> 0:34:49.900
<v S11>that these vaccines were fast tracked. And what it does

0:34:50.260 --> 0:34:54.219
<v S11>is it short circuits important safety and testing protocols so

0:34:54.260 --> 0:34:58.340
<v S11>that people can end up being being injured by these

0:34:58.340 --> 0:35:02.180
<v S11>fast tracked pharmaceuticals. So that's also another concerning thing that

0:35:02.180 --> 0:35:04.899
<v S11>it does. Another thing that it.

0:35:05.460 --> 0:35:07.899
<v S1>Forgive me for interrupting, but you're so brilliant. I want

0:35:07.940 --> 0:35:11.109
<v S1>to ask a question. So with your lawyer's brain, The

0:35:11.110 --> 0:35:14.069
<v S1>first thing that goes through my little pipsqueak mind is liability.

0:35:14.230 --> 0:35:16.589
<v S1>So you fast track this. You create a vaccine. You

0:35:16.590 --> 0:35:18.910
<v S1>have irreparable harm. You don't have the protections in place

0:35:18.910 --> 0:35:21.830
<v S1>to do longitudinal studies on various study groups. So who

0:35:21.830 --> 0:35:24.110
<v S1>do you get to sue when the vaccine damages somebody?

0:35:25.550 --> 0:35:29.750
<v S11>Well, that is also not really spelled out in the

0:35:29.750 --> 0:35:34.149
<v S11>pandemic treaty. I mean, they talk about countries possibly, you know,

0:35:34.150 --> 0:35:36.430
<v S11>setting up some kind of a mechanism, but it certainly

0:35:36.430 --> 0:35:40.350
<v S11>is not spelled out. So it's not like it's not

0:35:40.350 --> 0:35:43.750
<v S11>like they set up a situation of fast tracking vaccines

0:35:43.750 --> 0:35:49.670
<v S11>and also a situation of compensating victims. No, that that

0:35:49.710 --> 0:35:53.229
<v S11>is that is not the case. Um, and I think that,

0:35:53.230 --> 0:35:56.470
<v S11>as you know, you know, in the United States, there's

0:35:56.469 --> 0:36:00.629
<v S11>a lot of liability protection for vaccine manufacturers. And the

0:36:00.630 --> 0:36:04.790
<v S11>people who find themselves injured have a really hard time. Um,

0:36:04.950 --> 0:36:07.950
<v S11>it's very difficult, if not impossible, to get compensated. So

0:36:08.110 --> 0:36:10.910
<v S11>it's a really, really tragic situation.

0:36:10.950 --> 0:36:13.750
<v S1>Couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more. Oh, Reggie, we need

0:36:13.750 --> 0:36:15.910
<v S1>to do a whole hour. Half an hour? Simply not enough.

0:36:15.910 --> 0:36:18.109
<v S1>There's a ton more. I'm glad Reggie is still with us.

0:36:18.110 --> 0:36:19.469
<v S1>By the way, I got a bunch of links on

0:36:19.469 --> 0:36:22.510
<v S1>my information page. I have a link, by the way,

0:36:22.510 --> 0:36:25.509
<v S1>to Anti-globalist dot net. This is the one where you'll

0:36:25.510 --> 0:36:28.270
<v S1>see Joan of Arc. They have a manifesto. Please read it.

0:36:28.310 --> 0:36:31.310
<v S1>Prayerfully consider signing it as well. All right. Remember, national

0:36:31.310 --> 0:36:34.150
<v S1>sovereignty isn't just a geopolitical idea. It didn't come out

0:36:34.150 --> 0:36:37.110
<v S1>of the UN. It's a biblical idea. At its start.

0:36:37.110 --> 0:36:40.750
<v S1>And it's crucially important. Also on the other side, they've

0:36:40.750 --> 0:36:43.390
<v S1>got this connection to this power grab. And their goal,

0:36:43.390 --> 0:36:46.430
<v S1>as Reggie has pointed out, is total control. Reggie's got

0:36:46.430 --> 0:36:48.149
<v S1>a fabulous article on that. All of that on my

0:36:48.150 --> 0:36:56.270
<v S1>information page. More with Reggie Littlejohn right after this. Reggie

0:36:56.310 --> 0:36:59.150
<v S1>Littlejohn is with us, founder and president of Women's Rights

0:36:59.150 --> 0:37:02.830
<v S1>Without Frontiers. Reggie, you should know, has testified multiple times

0:37:02.830 --> 0:37:06.469
<v S1>on Capitol Hill. She's delivered briefings three times at the

0:37:06.469 --> 0:37:09.480
<v S1>European Parliament, twice at the British has spoken at the

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:12.920
<v S1>Irish and Canadian Parliaments, The Hague, the UN, the State Department,

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:17.160
<v S1>the white House and the Vatican as well. Unbelievably gifted warrior.

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:19.440
<v S1>I think it's an appropriate symbol to have Joan of

0:37:19.440 --> 0:37:22.920
<v S1>Arc on her website, because I think that's exactly who

0:37:23.120 --> 0:37:24.839
<v S1>she is. She is a Joan of Arc. So we're

0:37:24.840 --> 0:37:27.799
<v S1>talking about the fact that the W.H.O. and its arrogance did,

0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:32.240
<v S1>in fact pass this Who pandemic agreement on May 20th, 2025.

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:34.080
<v S1>Even though thanks be to God, the U.S. is not

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:37.399
<v S1>a participant and has backed off from the W.H.O.. As

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:40.560
<v S1>Reggie rightly points out, the ramifications of this have a

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:43.480
<v S1>global impact. And so some of the things we've talked

0:37:43.480 --> 0:37:45.759
<v S1>about already, you see, could impact the United States, even

0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:49.240
<v S1>if we refuse to put ourselves in subjugation or cede

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:53.640
<v S1>sovereignty to an international globalist organization. So there's so many

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:55.920
<v S1>aspects of this that are problematic, Reggie. One of them

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:59.160
<v S1>is this idea of free speech and censorship. That is

0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:02.520
<v S1>a global problem. How does the W.H.O. agreement impact this?

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:08.080
<v S11>Well, that's a that's an excellent question. So in the

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:12.040
<v S11>pandemic agreement, it in the preamble. It requires nations to, quote,

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:18.239
<v S11>prevent misinformation and disinformation, end quote. So that's frightening because,

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:22.640
<v S11>you know, it's one thing to censor something once it's done.

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:24.360
<v S11>In other words, like, let's say they wanted to censor

0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:26.680
<v S11>this interview. They could just take it down, right? Take

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:29.920
<v S11>it down off of YouTube or whatever, whatever platform, what

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:32.479
<v S11>they want to do is prevent us from ever having

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:35.000
<v S11>the interview. They want to prevent this, this word from

0:38:35.000 --> 0:38:37.319
<v S11>ever going out to begin with. So that's that is

0:38:37.360 --> 0:38:42.080
<v S11>actually very frightening. And it does impact the United States because, um,

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:45.400
<v S11>there's even a legal struggle now going on, um, with

0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:47.759
<v S11>certain social media platforms in Europe where people in the

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:51.000
<v S11>United States will say things that that the W.H.O. or

0:38:51.000 --> 0:38:54.560
<v S11>in Europe, they say, well, that's misinformation or disinformation. Um,

0:38:54.600 --> 0:38:57.440
<v S11>and you you need to censor this in Europe. The

0:38:57.440 --> 0:38:59.840
<v S11>Europeans cannot hear this. And then, you know, our government

0:38:59.880 --> 0:39:02.160
<v S11>is saying, no, you know, we stand for free speech,

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:06.450
<v S11>but it does impact people in the United States. If

0:39:06.489 --> 0:39:08.330
<v S11>there's censorship internationally.

0:39:09.370 --> 0:39:12.089
<v S1>1,000%. And these platforms, by the way, many of which

0:39:12.090 --> 0:39:14.730
<v S1>are based in the United States, have a global impact.

0:39:14.730 --> 0:39:16.529
<v S1>So there is no way this wouldn't blow back on

0:39:16.530 --> 0:39:19.410
<v S1>us in some way. But the word prevention, particularly through

0:39:19.450 --> 0:39:23.129
<v S1>your lawyer's mind, is an egregious term, because exactly how

0:39:23.130 --> 0:39:25.250
<v S1>does that get implemented? What is the trigger? How does

0:39:25.250 --> 0:39:28.850
<v S1>one prevent. How do you take down? It's an existential question.

0:39:28.850 --> 0:39:31.450
<v S1>How do you take down that which hasn't been posted yet?

0:39:31.489 --> 0:39:33.890
<v S1>I find this to be ludicrous. And again, it's just

0:39:33.890 --> 0:39:39.210
<v S1>emblematic of this inflated sense of importance and, uh, self-anointed

0:39:39.210 --> 0:39:41.969
<v S1>ness that the W.H.O. has to prevent it. And why

0:39:41.969 --> 0:39:44.210
<v S1>this is even more problematic if we're watching the free

0:39:44.210 --> 0:39:47.290
<v S1>speech abridgments that are taking place, for example, in the UK,

0:39:47.330 --> 0:39:49.649
<v S1>where cops are literally showing up at people's front doors

0:39:49.690 --> 0:39:52.529
<v S1>and arresting them. This is in the United Kingdom. This

0:39:52.530 --> 0:39:54.370
<v S1>is a kind of parallel. Thank goodness we had a

0:39:54.370 --> 0:39:57.129
<v S1>little revolution that separated us, but they're like us in

0:39:57.130 --> 0:39:59.250
<v S1>a lot of ways. They're knocking on front doors and

0:39:59.250 --> 0:40:01.370
<v S1>taking people off to jail for things they've posted on

0:40:01.370 --> 0:40:04.130
<v S1>the internet. Well, that's an after the fact. how in

0:40:04.130 --> 0:40:06.690
<v S1>the world. And it's a it's a philosophical, but I

0:40:06.690 --> 0:40:09.370
<v S1>think it's an important question. How do you prevent mis

0:40:09.370 --> 0:40:11.529
<v S1>and disinformation before it even exists?

0:40:12.330 --> 0:40:16.770
<v S11>Well, you know, hauling people off to jail for something

0:40:16.770 --> 0:40:20.130
<v S11>that they posted on the internet is is the China model.

0:40:20.170 --> 0:40:22.969
<v S11>So we're back to the Chinese influence again. And how

0:40:22.969 --> 0:40:26.370
<v S11>do they prevent stuff from happening? Well, I mean, they've

0:40:26.370 --> 0:40:29.650
<v S11>got a social credit score system where if you, um,

0:40:29.969 --> 0:40:32.930
<v S11>if you say something that they don't like, your score

0:40:32.969 --> 0:40:35.049
<v S11>goes down, and if it goes down far enough, they

0:40:35.050 --> 0:40:37.890
<v S11>will sever you from your bank account and your credit card.

0:40:37.930 --> 0:40:40.410
<v S11>And if you continue to be a dissident voice, they

0:40:40.410 --> 0:40:43.129
<v S11>will just disappear. You meaning that you will not one

0:40:43.130 --> 0:40:46.609
<v S11>day you're never seen again. Um, so that's how they

0:40:46.610 --> 0:40:49.489
<v S11>do it in China. And it's and that was one

0:40:49.489 --> 0:40:51.370
<v S11>of the reasons probably the main, one of the main

0:40:51.370 --> 0:40:54.009
<v S11>reasons I even got on to this issue was because,

0:40:54.010 --> 0:40:57.290
<v S11>you know, my background is in Chinese, in opposing forced

0:40:57.290 --> 0:40:59.890
<v S11>abortion in China. But I saw the tactics that the

0:40:59.890 --> 0:41:03.020
<v S11>Chinese Communist Party was using coming to the world through

0:41:03.020 --> 0:41:06.259
<v S11>the World Health Organization. So that's how they that's how

0:41:06.260 --> 0:41:10.980
<v S11>they prevent people who won't stop spewing what they call misinformation. Disinformation,

0:41:10.980 --> 0:41:12.420
<v S11>what we would call truth.

0:41:12.739 --> 0:41:16.500
<v S1>Yeah. Wow. Wow. It makes George Orwell look pale by comparison.

0:41:16.500 --> 0:41:19.340
<v S1>It's absolutely stunning. Well, speaking of that credit system in China,

0:41:19.460 --> 0:41:22.300
<v S1>talk about the digital ID part of this treaty.

0:41:23.420 --> 0:41:26.460
<v S11>That is such that that to me is is in

0:41:26.500 --> 0:41:29.140
<v S11>many ways the center of the tree. Maybe that and

0:41:29.140 --> 0:41:33.420
<v S11>the pathogen access and benefit sharing system. But the treaty

0:41:33.420 --> 0:41:37.260
<v S11>works together with the International Health Regulation amendments, which passed

0:41:37.300 --> 0:41:41.140
<v S11>a year ago, a year ago May. And in those amendments,

0:41:41.140 --> 0:41:44.819
<v S11>they go into detail about everybody in the world being

0:41:44.820 --> 0:41:48.300
<v S11>required to have some form of a health ID. So

0:41:48.340 --> 0:41:52.700
<v S11>in developed nations who would be digital, in undeveloped nations

0:41:52.700 --> 0:41:56.460
<v S11>who would could still be paper. Um, and they are

0:41:56.460 --> 0:42:00.660
<v S11>rolling it out. I mean, they Tedros Ghebreyesus announced in

0:42:00.739 --> 0:42:04.339
<v S11>a June 5th of 2023 that they were rolling these

0:42:04.340 --> 0:42:07.100
<v S11>out internationally. As you go on to the World Economic

0:42:07.100 --> 0:42:11.299
<v S11>Forum website, you'll see the full amount of all the

0:42:11.300 --> 0:42:14.660
<v S11>things that these are meant to, um, to address. In

0:42:14.660 --> 0:42:17.020
<v S11>other words, you're going to need a digital ID to

0:42:17.060 --> 0:42:22.380
<v S11>access healthcare, open a bank account, buy and sell online travel,

0:42:22.620 --> 0:42:27.700
<v S11>access social media, file your taxes, vote, collect government benefits

0:42:27.700 --> 0:42:31.219
<v S11>like Medicare and Medicaid. I want a telecommunications device, such

0:42:31.219 --> 0:42:33.299
<v S11>as a cell phone or a laptop, and participate in

0:42:33.300 --> 0:42:37.460
<v S11>social media. So this is something that is, um, that's

0:42:37.500 --> 0:42:41.620
<v S11>just like a copy of what they do in China. Um, and,

0:42:41.660 --> 0:42:45.460
<v S11>and could issue a social credit system worldwide through the

0:42:45.460 --> 0:42:47.820
<v S11>World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum.

0:42:48.940 --> 0:42:51.779
<v S1>But it's okay. So a million questions raised as to this.

0:42:51.780 --> 0:42:53.819
<v S1>And again, when all else fails, talk to a lawyer

0:42:53.820 --> 0:42:56.180
<v S1>because you've got the great answers for this. So this

0:42:56.180 --> 0:43:00.549
<v S1>idea of creating a China social Credit like system globally

0:43:00.590 --> 0:43:04.710
<v S1>again speaks to the the arrogance of the W.H.O.. Because

0:43:04.710 --> 0:43:06.350
<v S1>we're not a player for this. We're not going to

0:43:06.350 --> 0:43:08.029
<v S1>do this. Now. How would that impact us if we're

0:43:08.030 --> 0:43:10.549
<v S1>trying to travel? Would they even know you have a

0:43:10.550 --> 0:43:12.950
<v S1>US passport? They would prevent you to going to countries

0:43:12.950 --> 0:43:15.350
<v S1>that have signed on that do have digital ID. Sorry,

0:43:15.390 --> 0:43:17.910
<v S1>folks can't come in. You don't have a digital ID.

0:43:18.270 --> 0:43:20.270
<v S1>The one question I have in the little time that

0:43:20.270 --> 0:43:22.109
<v S1>we have left, and I'm a fool for not having

0:43:22.110 --> 0:43:24.590
<v S1>done this for an hour because there's so much more.

0:43:24.989 --> 0:43:27.270
<v S1>We are not a player, but as you've said, it's

0:43:27.270 --> 0:43:29.590
<v S1>like dropping a stone in a pond in their concentric

0:43:29.590 --> 0:43:32.390
<v S1>circles of impact. And the US is, regardless of whether

0:43:32.390 --> 0:43:35.150
<v S1>a signatory or not, is going to have some impact

0:43:35.150 --> 0:43:37.230
<v S1>as a result of all of this, what are the

0:43:37.230 --> 0:43:40.150
<v S1>next steps? Do we play offense in the United States?

0:43:40.150 --> 0:43:43.070
<v S1>Do we build a wall of protection through public policy?

0:43:43.070 --> 0:43:43.830
<v S1>What do we do?

0:43:44.910 --> 0:43:45.350
<v S3>Well.

0:43:45.830 --> 0:43:49.710
<v S11>RFK Jr has said Argentina also withdrew, and he has

0:43:49.710 --> 0:43:54.390
<v S11>said he's issued an international call for people to different

0:43:54.390 --> 0:43:57.670
<v S11>countries to leave the World Health Organization and to join

0:43:58.070 --> 0:44:02.830
<v S11>a consortium of free nations to address healthcare issues together,

0:44:03.110 --> 0:44:05.950
<v S11>not under the auspices of the W.H.O.. And I think

0:44:05.950 --> 0:44:07.390
<v S11>that that's the path forward.

0:44:07.430 --> 0:44:10.310
<v S1>Yeah, I think that's an absolutely brilliant idea. So he

0:44:10.310 --> 0:44:12.430
<v S1>proposes an idea. Now we have to get the will

0:44:12.469 --> 0:44:14.590
<v S1>right of the Congress to be able to implement something

0:44:14.590 --> 0:44:15.190
<v S1>like that.

0:44:16.510 --> 0:44:18.630
<v S11>I don't know if you need Congress for that. I

0:44:18.670 --> 0:44:20.670
<v S11>think that as the head of HHS, that he can

0:44:20.710 --> 0:44:22.590
<v S11>probably just do it, you know.

0:44:23.350 --> 0:44:25.270
<v S1>Well, let's hope he does it. And if he said it,

0:44:25.270 --> 0:44:27.989
<v S1>maybe he will. Reggie, you have a ton of information.

0:44:27.989 --> 0:44:30.270
<v S1>Tell me quickly in the few minutes that we have left,

0:44:30.310 --> 0:44:32.630
<v S1>tell me about the manifesto. Why should people sign it?

0:44:32.670 --> 0:44:34.149
<v S1>What happens with the manifesto?

0:44:34.750 --> 0:44:39.510
<v S11>So this is an anti-globalist international, and that's an anti-globalist net.

0:44:39.910 --> 0:44:43.109
<v S11>And what this manifesto is, is it starts out saying

0:44:43.110 --> 0:44:45.430
<v S11>we are living in a globalist coup, affected by wealthy

0:44:45.430 --> 0:44:48.670
<v S11>and powerful international elite, determined to enslave humanity to its

0:44:48.670 --> 0:44:51.710
<v S11>own advantage. And it goes from there. And it will explain.

0:44:52.750 --> 0:44:54.670
<v S1>And I thank you, Reggie, so much. We'll see you

0:44:54.670 --> 0:44:55.510
<v S1>next time, friends.
