1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Why is there a deep sensation of distrust and discuss 2 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: right now across the country and in many ways the 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: world as you as you scroll through your feed, you 4 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: see UH. You see Shawn's rant of just calling out 5 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: UH the administration and other people not exposing pedophiles. You 6 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: see UH the European Union UH throwing out a tremendous 7 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: amount of UH censorship towards its people, UH and politicians. 8 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: You see UH possible market manipulations in different areas around 9 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: right with all these uh M challenges like game stop 10 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: and MMTLP and all this other stuff, and like people 11 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: are feeling that. Even I asked last night at dinner, 12 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: I had all girls around my wife, and I said, 13 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, do you guys feel a sense of negativity 14 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: in the air? Do you feel at school and you're 15 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: in your social circles and all this? And they all 16 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: kind of said they couldn't quite articulate it, but they 17 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: did come to the conclusion that yeah, there was an 18 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: innate disturbance present and how they were experiencing the world. 19 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: And God knows if you listen to me for five seconds, 20 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: or watch the show, or listen to the show, or 21 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: follow me around or follow what I'm doing on X 22 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: that team Frog logic or on the GRAM. You see. Man, 23 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm well aware of this massive level of distrust, right, 24 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, and I think if there's right there, there 25 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: are definitive things that you can point to and say, yeah, 26 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: this makes sense while people are uneasy. Right, thirty eight 27 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt, we're supposed to hit forty trillion. 28 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: I read one by that said sixty trillion by thirty nine, 29 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: twenty thirty nine or something crazy. You know, you have 30 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: the impending crisis obviously of what's going on if Ukraine 31 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: and Russia spills out into Eastern Europe, you have other 32 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: crisis in the Middle East. Are we going to bomb 33 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: I Ran in the next a couple months? Right? Obviously, 34 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: the political corruption that we're seeing all over the place 35 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: in Minnesota and Maine and California and Florida and all over. 36 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter red state, blue state. It's just there's 37 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: a level of corruption present. I mean, I've been covering 38 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: these election abnormalities like it's going out of business because 39 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: I fundamentally believe the country, a large portion of the 40 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: country distrust our election systems, and without trustful election system 41 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: the outcome, the inevitable outcome, is destruction, chaos, and war. Right, 42 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: it's just the way it is now. You know. You 43 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: can also say there's a culture battle being waged right 44 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: on in the streets and classrooms across the country against 45 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: ice officers, students staging protests, right. A distrust for government, 46 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: a distrust for cultural individuality, whether it's people that can't 47 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: stand trans people, or can't stand Jewish people, or can't 48 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: stand white people, or can't stand blacks or Hispanics or whatever. 49 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: It is. Like this divisiveness, this distrust is emerging at 50 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: another level. You know. The other one I see a 51 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: tremendous amount too, is people and they're worry about AI 52 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: and what it's going to do. Right, while we already 53 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: know AI is manipulating our social media feeds and driving 54 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: us down these algorithmic psychological adaptations. Right, we adapt to 55 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: the feed that it thinks we want us feed us 56 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: to and then reinforces biases as we just consume the 57 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: dopamine hits, which ultimately move into stress hormones which make 58 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: us preparation for or outlandish reactions and behaviors. Look at 59 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: the trans dude who shot up killed his wife and 60 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: kids at the hockey game the other day in Providence, right, 61 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: I mean, and he had quoted on some other uh 62 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: there's a trans person in Congress and he had quoted, Well, 63 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: if they don't acknowledge us or something to this extent, 64 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: watch when we go berserker, right, you know, And you 65 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: also have the level of censorship that's taking place on 66 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: all platforms, right. YouTube is notorious, LinkedIn is horrific. We 67 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: see it now. Merging on TikTok, we see it. You know, 68 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: I think X is the best place, but there's still 69 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: some uh uh you know, the customization of the algorithm 70 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: for certain things for sure, Right, But I'm here to 71 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: tell you it's all of it. It's the whole thing, right, 72 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: And the real question is is you know what is 73 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: rooted in the foundations of these fears. What's the thing 74 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: that's present that destabilizes or demoralizes or or or antagonizes 75 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: or or I ran out of ises, But what's the 76 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: thing at the root of all this? Right, And what 77 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: I believe it to be is the obvious existence of 78 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: willful deception that is pretty much flowing like a river 79 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: of evil that has broken through the dam of our 80 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: cognitive dissonance. Right, what does that mean? That means we 81 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: have allowed ourselves to become a custom to deceit as 82 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: a regularity within the social construct of our uh everyday 83 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: uh activities, right, in particular what we consume via uh 84 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: the Internet or social media or anything like that, or 85 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: what we even watch as well too. I mean, look 86 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: at how some uh documentaries uh create a narrative that 87 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: is different than another narrative, right, or how we make 88 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: content that uh uh generates a different perception of something 89 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: as opposed to whatever. And you know, I I I 90 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: think you know we've seen this at a major, major level. However, however, 91 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: you know what I have seen which is positive to me, 92 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: And and the magnitude of deception and the lies that 93 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: are just uh what they're they're they're seeping into the 94 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: the neurons are subconscious in our consciousness, right, They're being 95 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: woven into what we believe to be acceptable or not acceptable, 96 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: or what we dismiss or what we look to what 97 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: is considered a component of advancement or ambition maybe, right, 98 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: that cognitive dissonance, that moral relativism I talk a lot about. Right, Well, 99 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Once I think a person comes to 100 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: grips with one major concept, story, historical event, person, bio 101 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: bio on somebody or news story or whatever it is. Right, 102 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: and this is an event, an experience, right that that 103 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: originally or has been put forth in the shroud of 104 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: deceit or manipulation or lies. Once people have come to 105 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: grip in the acknowledgment that people are inevitably have been 106 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: forced to accept. Right, these misnomers are these these illusions. Right, 107 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: once you've been once you fully understand that you have 108 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: been intentionally lied to at a at a historic level. Right, 109 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: because lying is historical in nature. Will every major tribe, society, civilization, empire, kingdom, uh, 110 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: whatever you want to see it, lies are woven in 111 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: because they're there. It's woven in to us. It's a 112 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: major component. So when do I believe the magnitude of 113 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: this unsettling reality kind of began to intravenously impact our our, 114 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: our society. Well, for me, it was COVID nineteen, right, 115 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: and it started with the recognition, what hey, uh, put 116 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: that mask on your face and stand six feet away 117 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: from each other. Wait a minute, if I wear this 118 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: mask in my exhalation and I'm sick, won't that make 119 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: me sick or plus I'm not taking fresh air in 120 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: What Now I can't get next to somebody. What if 121 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: that person already had it and has immunity natural immunity, 122 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: I can't stand next to them. And then all of 123 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: a sudden it was like, oh, I'm the problem. I'm 124 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: the one killing grandma, and you know, like that doesn't 125 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: make sense. Then they started closing schools when we knew 126 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: that the percentage of children that will negatively impact this 127 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: was point zero zero eight or something like this, some 128 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: astronomically low prevalence of mortality within kids. And in fact, 129 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: I don't believe it was existence at all unless there 130 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: was horrific pre existing conditions. Right, we know obitbesity played 131 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: a role. We know certain medical aspects or genetic aspects 132 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: play to role. And so when we say we're going 133 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: to close the schools, we're going to take kids out 134 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: of socialization, We're gonna put them in a isolation. I mean, 135 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: La County, twenty two percent of the population wasn't was 136 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: was lost right, children, they didn't go to school, they 137 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: lost track of them. What do you think those kids 138 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: were doing? Right? Small business closures, right, we can't let 139 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: people go into small business. We got to shut those down, 140 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: got to shut churches down. But we're going to keep 141 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: the liquor stores, the weeds stores, the big box stores. Right, 142 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep all those open. Boy. Right. We saw 143 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: it even more pronounced with the BLM riots, right when 144 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people are in the streets, no masks, 145 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: no six feet, no nothing, swapping spits air or whatever. 146 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, but this is okay, this is this 147 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: is meaningful. It didn't take a genius to figure out 148 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: you're getting lied to the severity of it. Where it originated. Oh, 149 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: this came from a pangling duck or a pang whatever 150 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: pangling thing is in a wet market overseas well. What 151 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: do we know now? Actually was a bio weapon that 152 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: was designed back probably in two thirty twelve thirteen, right, coronavirus, 153 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: bad things, the whole deal, and it was offshort and 154 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: then it made its way around the world. The next 155 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: thing you know, Eco Health Alliance is working in a 156 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Chinese biomanufactured medical military biomanufacturing facility. We're partnered with the Chinese, 157 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: our sworn enemy, and it's and it might have happened 158 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: near there lies, and then all of a sudden, it's like, Okay, 159 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: we've got the cure. It's this vaccine. It's safe and effective. 160 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: I want you to take it. Don't worry, you're fine. 161 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: It'll completely absolve you of any any impact. You know, 162 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: and it's a non vaccinated They're welcome to the winner 163 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: of death. That's what Biden told me and my family 164 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,479 Speaker 1: and everybody else out there, right, So get the vaccine 165 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: or else. Well, then we start seeing, well, the vaccine 166 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: is causing some problems, and particular young people who are 167 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: by the way, not very in thread of this thing. 168 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Way mile carditis, perocarditis. Now there's reports saying that it's 169 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: the generating massive turbo cancers, prostate cancers, ovarian cancer's breast 170 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: cancers or skyrocket and from people who took like you 171 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: have a sixty seven percent greater impact potentially of getting 172 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: some form of cancers you've had three jabs or more. Oh, 173 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: that's a lie, that's bad science. And then what we 174 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: now know is the entirety of the Fauci cover ups 175 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: and his emails and the Balfour declaration and all this 176 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: other and maybe not balfoot what was it. It was 177 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: not that It was the Lancet paper, right, that came 178 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: back and all these very accredited scientists who said, no, 179 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: we need to look at this differently, and they came back, No, 180 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: you're full of it, you're lying, and we know that 181 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: was a cover up. So that was the gateway I 182 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: think where people really began to understand. Now you can 183 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: go down the deeper dive and you can look at 184 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: Russia Gate, which is a fundamental coup, soft coup that 185 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: took pace against President Trump everybody in his cabinet. That 186 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: went on for years and it didn't stop. I mean, 187 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: look at twenty twenty, right, what happened after twenty twenty? Man, 188 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: the guy was the election fraud and I've been covering 189 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: that and there's a guaranteed cover up there. There's one 190 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: hundred percent proof that there would manipulations on a global 191 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: scale down to a municipality scale. Look at the team 192 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: of Peters, right. We know censorship right was out of control. 193 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: They turned the industrial censorship compact that was built for 194 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: color revolutions overseas, they turned it internally. Just look at 195 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: the Twitter files, right. The head of the General Council 196 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: for Twitter was a former FBI General counsel Baker, Right, 197 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: how many CIA people work at Facebook? How many CIA 198 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: people work all around? Right? ANDSA. They essentially have converted 199 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: the very thing that people have been sucked into doing 200 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: for social convene unions and social responsibilities and social relationships, 201 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: improved social and mental health, all lie. We know that 202 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: now they were involved in that immigration. Immigration is the 203 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: best thing for America. We need people to pick our 204 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: fruit into clean our toilets, and without them it wouldn't happen. 205 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right, So we 206 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: what we let twenty million people in? What does that 207 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: do to our educational system, our medical systems, our insurance system? 208 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: Of the fraud that now exists. We've seen with Shirley's 209 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, in Maine, California, the homeless problem at every level, 210 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: at every place. And then my favorite is the absolute 211 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: gas lighting and lies that took place to cover up 212 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: the fact that Biden was a freakin vegetable and the 213 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: auto pen how many people like we know, out of 214 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: all the pardons, there was one pardon that he actually 215 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: signed and over the eight thousand pardons that and there's 216 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: theories out there that the pardons allegedly were being sold 217 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: to people as well too. Lies on top of lies 218 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: on top of lies. Right, and now the ultimate which 219 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: just continues, and it's the Epstein files. Anybody telling you 220 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: or trying to tell you that it was not that bad, right, 221 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: and anybody affiliated. Man, it's just guilt by association. Right. 222 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: I might agree to that in some capacity prior to 223 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: six or five, but anything after that is an absolute sham. 224 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: This guy was a convicted sexual predator of young girls. 225 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: If you had any relationship with him whatsoever, fundamentally for 226 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: business or whatever, you lied to yourself in order to 227 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: get ahead, period, because of his skill sets. And he's 228 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: not just some wealthy whatever. Now we know the whole 229 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: aspect of his background was a lie. Who we worked 230 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: for or how he got the jobs? All that manipulated right, lies. 231 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: And now we just see the unfathomable lies taking place 232 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: with the government and the DOJ right now basically covering 233 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: up for pedophiles. I mean, if you listen to Sean's 234 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: rant that came out the other day that has millions 235 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: and millions and millions of views, and now they're attacking him, 236 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: they're calling him a liar. Oh, you're a CIA guy, 237 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: your plant, whatever. But if you're protecting or justifying in 238 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: any way, shape or form a pedophile, you are lying 239 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: to yourself. And if you're lying to yourself that it's 240 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: acceptable to interact with those people or support them, or 241 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: to distract the severity from it in some capacity, then 242 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: at the base of your lie is evil, pure and simple. 243 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: It's just what it is. You can't justify pedophilia. You 244 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: can't walk it back, you can't sugarcoat it, you can't 245 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: lighten the impact of it. You can't do any of that. 246 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: And if you get to the I think everybody's willing 247 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: to get to a point that say oh, yeah, he 248 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: was trafficking girls, then let's just stop there and say, well, 249 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: where are the people he trafficked the girls too? Oh, 250 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 1: there's no evidence of that. It's just porma, lies, redactions, lies, 251 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing, and that's coming out and it's going 252 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: to continue to come out, and at some point you 253 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: have to make the correlation that the level of lying 254 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: that's taken place is a derivative or rooted in what 255 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: is evil. All right, now, before I get into the 256 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: main reason that provoked this, which is this book, right here. 257 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: You can't for a video. You can watch it for sure, 258 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: but it's called People of the Lie The Hope for 259 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: Healing Human Evil by m. Scott Peck, doctor Scott Peck, 260 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: and he was the author of The road Less Travel 261 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: very you know, ten million best seller. Well, this was 262 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: his book that really got me, right because what he 263 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: was able to do was correlate the regularity of line 264 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 1: to evil, and he did it in a very sophisticated 265 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: and scientific way, I believe. But there was also a 266 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: level of theology that's in there too, and I probably 267 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: think that that's what you know is able to people 268 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: are able to quell the importance of the book a 269 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: little bit. Right. Now, there's another component too, right, line 270 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: we learn from a very early age. We learn it, 271 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: I mean from basically ages two to three, right. And 272 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: I did a little research on this on where it starts, 273 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: right and and this is emerges as a normative part 274 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: of child development, right you know, And it's it's a 275 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: lot of child development specialists like this is a part 276 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: like this is you're actually looking for your child to 277 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: start lying as a as an observable component of like 278 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: a milestone, right, other than than a problematic behavior. And 279 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: you know when you start to see this taking place, right, 280 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: and you know, from two to eight, right, with about 281 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: twenty to thirty percent of children attempting similar deceptions. Right. 282 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: And these aren't great lies, they're just like did you 283 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: eat that cookie? No? But you know, like you can 284 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: see it emerging. They're trying to frame out that tip 285 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: for tat game playing with other kids, free play, the 286 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: whole thing. And there's a lot of documentation that that 287 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for. You're looking for kids to 288 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: emerge in that structure. Right when even in preschoolers, when 289 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: when line actually peaks right in prevalence, right, with about 290 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: eighty to ninety percent of children understanding the concept of 291 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: line and engaging in it ragular right now, some studies 292 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: show that kids at those age lie about one to 293 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: two times per hour in social interactions, right, And these 294 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: are like these are settings that are kind of non 295 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: structured settings. It's just like social exchanges, teacher exchange, parental exchanges. Right, 296 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: it's right there, right. Well, you know, with the school 297 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: age six to twelve, it stabilizes a little bit, about 298 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: fifty to seventy percent lie occasionally with rates in higher 299 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: situations involving peers and authority. Right, you lie to get 300 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: out of trouble. Right, did you bully that person? I 301 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: didn't do that. Hell no, because you knew the social 302 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: exclusion or the labeling you as in some negative way. 303 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: You got to protect yourself from that. Right. And then 304 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: adolescence man line frequency is lower overall than in younger children. Right. 305 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: And some of that is social anxiety, which provokes that 306 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: think that begins to manifest its way at a little 307 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a deeper level as the 308 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: older you get. Now, Uh, factors that are influencing a 309 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: lot of this parenting. Right. Authoritative styles reduce anti social 310 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: line you know, cultural influences right, and in many collectivest 311 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: societies encourage pro social lies. Right. Cognitive ability, better executive 312 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: function correlates with more effective line. Right. If you learn 313 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: how to manipulate someone's emotions, you can lie at a 314 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: higher degree. Right. You know, there are are a bunch 315 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: of key mechanisms and benefits right, Right, there's a cognitive 316 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: and social skill development right. Right, And that goes back 317 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: to the idea of this the theory of mind, right, 318 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 1: and the theory of of of of mind is a 319 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: very interesting concept to think about. And that's where you 320 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: can think about thinking about others and how it affects you. 321 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: And you know, that's a powerful moment for people. Right, 322 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: And to give you a better definition of this, theory 323 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: of mind or TOM is a foundational concept in cognitive 324 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: psychology and developmental science, referring to the ability to recognize 325 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: and attribute mental states such as beliefs, desires, intentions, emotions, 326 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: and knowledge to oneself and others, and to understand that 327 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: these mental states can differ from one's own or from 328 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: objective reality, and enables individuals to predict and interpret behavior 329 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: and social contexts, essentially showing us to read minds by 330 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: inferring what others might be thinking or feeling a key 331 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: aspect and when in line, plays a role in that development, right, 332 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: pro social line and social high harmony. Right. These are 333 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: the little white lies we tell, Oh, you know, how 334 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: do I look? Honey? Oh you look great, sweetie, that 335 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: shirt's very becoming on you. Or hey, sweetye, don't I 336 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: look great? I lost two pounds? Oh baby, you look phenomenal. 337 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: You look phenomenal, or your your hey son, you know 338 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: how you're doing in school? I'm killing it? Dad, I'm 339 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: doing great. Well. I saw your report card and it 340 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: seems your challenge. Yeah, but that teacher's horrible. They don't 341 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: like me. Right, All these little to create a harmony 342 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: of impact or or you know, telling people what that 343 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: you think they want to hear that doesn't provoke, right, 344 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: that that contempt or resentment that can merge out of 345 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: knowing the truth about what people think about you. Right, 346 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: there's a moral and emotional gril. Lying helps children grapple 347 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: with morality. There's an assimilation challenge and moderates. While adaptive, 348 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: excessive and antisocial line can hinder assimilation if it erodes trust, 349 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: parenting influencing this responsive authoritative styles encouraged pro social line 350 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: and reduce harmful ones by modeling honesty. Right, And that's 351 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: the thing we really want to think about, right, And 352 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: I think that's the heart of what doctor Peck gets 353 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: to in the People of the Lot. Now, doctor Peck's 354 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: an interesting cat, right, grew up wealthy family, you know, 355 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: attended Phillips Exeter Academy, a very prestigious prep school. We 356 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: beat them in football when I went to Choate, So 357 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: the hell with you? Phillips Exeter Academy plus I couldn't 358 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 1: get in there. That's a whole other thing, you know. 359 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: And so you know, he he had this profound pressure 360 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: put him on him by his parents to succeed, and 361 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: then they kind of shipped them off to the school. 362 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: Right He ended up getting a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard. 363 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: He went to Case Western where school medicine, attaining his 364 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: doctorate in sixty three. Right then he went on to 365 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: serve in the military. I found this was interesting, where 366 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: he specialized in psychiatry and he rose to the rank 367 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: of lieutenant colonel. Now he was stationed all over the 368 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: place and later worked for the Surgeon General in Washington, 369 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: d c. And these roles exposed into a wide range 370 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: of mental health issues among service members, influencing his later 371 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: views on human evil, group dynamics, and personal responsibility. Because 372 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: remember this is during the sixties and seventies, and what 373 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: we have. We had post World War Two challenges, post 374 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: Korea challenges, and then we had the magnitude of the 375 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: Vietnam War, which led into the anti war counter culture 376 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: of the civil rights movement. All this taking place during 377 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: this very unsettling time where again, during this time, people 378 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: felt that there was a lot of lying, going on 379 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: and under and the cause root of that was evil. 380 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: And so he was studying all this and evaluating pussy 381 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: out of his own clientele, right, And you know, he 382 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: broke out of the whole thing after his military career 383 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: and he wrote the book The Road Less Travel, The 384 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values, and Spiritual Growth, like 385 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: I said, ten million copies. But then he began to 386 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: shift and he wrote this book, The People of Lies, 387 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: all right. You know, the interesting thing about Peck was 388 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: that he he really tried to aggregate his scientific analysis 389 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: through a theological prism, and what he ended up, you know, 390 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: coming to recognize was that, you know, evil is fundamentally 391 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: a different form, is different from mental illness, right. Mental 392 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: illness is something that you can't really control, you're kind 393 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: of you're either born into it or you develop it 394 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: for some but it's treatable and you can get out 395 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: of it. Whereas he believes that you know, you know, evil, uh, 396 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: you know, is very different than neurosis, schizophrenica, obsessive compulsive disorder, 397 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: which are all involuntary and treatable. Right. What he believes 398 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: is that evil individuals, by contrast, are fully seen and 399 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: they're aware of their actions. Right. And I want you, 400 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: when I'm saying this, think about the people you've seen 401 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: lying to you on line or lying to your face, 402 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: or lying about certain things they believe in, right, Right, 403 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: because they're seen and they're aware of their actions and 404 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: choose the lie to themselves and others to avoid personal 405 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: growth and accountability. And what pack doctor Peck calls this 406 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: is militant ignorance, a willful ignorance. Right. And you're not 407 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: gonna budge. You believe what you believe for whatever reason. 408 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: And and you don't care what the impact of that 409 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: lie is going to do to the people around you, 410 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: whether it's your children, your spouse, your colleagues, church friends, 411 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: your social scene, whatever it is politically, you don't care 412 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: because the point is to self grandize it the grandization 413 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: or that's not the right word, grandization right now, here's 414 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: the deal. Right. Unlike ordinary narcissism, which involves self centeredness 415 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: and a fragile ego but can allow for empathy and change, 416 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: evil manifests as itself as a malignant narcissism, where the 417 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: person maintains an unassailable self image by scapegoating, projecting flaws 418 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: onto others and destroying the lives physically and spiritually without remorse. 419 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: Right evil right, And this is what he also says evil, however, 420 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: is a sin hardened into persistent pattern of denial, which 421 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: is often cloaked in normalcy or pious, leading to a 422 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: refusal to submit to higher truth or what in his world, 423 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: to submit to God's sovereignty over us and that moral 424 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: framework that exists within that right seeking, ye shall find. 425 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: That's what Christ tells us. Within Christ is the truth 426 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: of your own sin. Now, you know, this book is 427 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: really interesting. You know, there's seven different sections of this thing, 428 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: and he uses case studies. There's one incredible case study 429 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: that he talks about. A mother and father buy a gun. 430 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: They have two sons. They buy a little twenty two 431 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: for one of their sons. Their son, one son kills 432 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: himself with the gun, and then they gift the same 433 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: gun to the brother for Christmas and justify the gift 434 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: as not wasting money or whatever. So the brother is 435 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: going through how because his brother just killed himself. He 436 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: doesn't understand. Then they give the gun that he killed 437 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: himself to the brother. Almost is like an under line 438 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: subconscious reality here. Now it's your turn to kill yourself 439 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: and that's what the boy ended up kind of thinking. Right. 440 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: So thus in lies them lying to themselves about the 441 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: reasoning and rationalization about turning the gun over with your 442 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: brother just got kid and giving it to you, right, 443 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: and the lies affiliated or through with the justification of 444 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: that action, right. You know. He also gets into in 445 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: this book, right, the different ways that people There's one 446 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: guy in the case study who makes who justifies his 447 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: line his behavior as negative behavior, as manipulative behavior by saying, 448 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: I made a pack with the devil, and so I 449 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: have to do this. It's built into me. I can't 450 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: turn it down. I have these visions of this voice 451 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: telling me I have to do this. Right. You're like, well, 452 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: create another voice that says you shouldn't do that, right, 453 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: And that was an interesting one. There's a couple he 454 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: describes where peopleeople are actually under the influence of demonic 455 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: and you know, uh uh possession, right, And he used 456 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: to do that. He used to interview people that claim 457 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: they were under demonic possession. Right. Well, when you when 458 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: you when you go through the full idea of this book, 459 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: and this is this is member in relation to what 460 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: you're witnessing right now, all over the place, all around you. Right. 461 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: He says that psychology resists religious views of evil. Right. 462 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: Dangers include judgmental misuse. Evil confuses must and we must 463 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: judge wisely for what can heal us? Right? And and 464 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: again evil is different from mental illness, right, which is 465 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: medical right. And and by its moral roots, narcissism which 466 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: is you know, within the self, by societal it causes 467 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: societal harm. And that's the sin. Right. But it's that 468 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: militant justification of lying that really is at the core 469 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: of what is argument this is right. So you know 470 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: what I recommend is go buy this book and then 471 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: and then start to evaluate the level or the spectrum 472 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: of lies that you're experiencing or seeing, or what you're 473 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: feeling on a day in a day of best Now, again, 474 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that everybody lies, right, 475 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: There's none of us that are escaped from the sin 476 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: of line. And the challenge is it is it more 477 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: indicative of what the similar constructs of the lies we 478 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: learned in our youth that we ply in our adult lives. Right? 479 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: Is that mora lined most of what's taking place? And yeah, 480 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: I went up and did some research on some really 481 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: great studies about lying. This one study in ninety six 482 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: by This Guy d Paolo Lying in Everyday Life, and 483 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: this was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 484 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: Right and This Guy. There were two samples, seventy seven 485 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: college students and seventy community members and non students aged 486 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: twenty one to ninety one. The participants recorded all social 487 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: interactions lasting ten minutes or longer over a week, noting 488 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: any lies told to find as intentionally misleading somebody, and 489 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: details like the target's gender, relationship, closeness, lie type, self 490 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: centered versus other oriented. They describe it the seriousness, the 491 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: planning of it, and the discomfort. Right and what they 492 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: found was fascinating. Key findings revealed that lying is a common, 493 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: but not overwhelming part of daily life for most within 494 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: this group. Right College students reported telling about two lies 495 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: per day and roughly one third of their interactions, while 496 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: community members reported one lie per day and about one 497 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: fifth of interaction. Most lies were self centered, which meant 498 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: they benefited the lie the person telling the lie to 499 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 1: avoid embarrassment or gain approval, or gain approval outnumbering the 500 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: other in this is other oriented lies which benefited others. Example, 501 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: to square or to spare someone's feelings right by a 502 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: two to one ratio. Overall, however, in female to female diads, 503 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: other oriented lies were equally common. Participants told more self 504 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: centered lies the men and more other oriented lies to women. 505 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: Lies were generally minor, unplanned, and not regretted. And not regretted. 506 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: Remember that participants rarely worried about detection and viewed them 507 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: as part of the smooth social functioning rather than moral breaches. 508 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: The study concluded that line serves as an everyday social lubricant, 509 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: influenced by gender and relationship dynamics, challenging views of deceptions 510 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: as rare or always malicious. Okay, So saying all that 511 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: is to say this, we are conditioned to accept lies 512 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: as a regular part of our interaction. It's just built in. 513 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: And I get that, and that is what it is. 514 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: But there's another aspect deeper. It's where they start to 515 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: go to another level. Right. And there's another study that 516 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: I came across, which was by Serrata, the Prevaliance of 517 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: Lying in America, three studies of self reported lies, and 518 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: in this in the human of communication research, the study 519 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: challenge prior estimates of daily line frequency through three investigations. 520 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: Survey one one thousand US adults nationally via phone asking 521 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: for lies told in the past twenty four hours. Study 522 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: two reanalyze the palas the earlier study I just quoted 523 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: diary data. Study three used two hundred and ninety eight 524 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: college students in a self report. Finding showed that line 525 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: is less frequent and more skewed than thought. In Study one, 526 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: sixty percent reported zero lies, with a mean of one 527 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: point six live six point sixty five lives per day. 528 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: Five percent of participants were the prolific liars accounted for 529 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: forty six percent of all lies. Prolific liars averaged six 530 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: to seven lies a day, often serious ones. Reanalysis of 531 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: the POLO data confirmed the skew, meaning one to two 532 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: lies but many zero lie days. Students in a study 533 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: three mirrored this with extra version and low self esteem 534 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: linked to prolific lie. The authors concluded that line follows 535 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: a power law distribution not normal. Most people are honest 536 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: most days, but a few prolific liars inflate averages. Okay, 537 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: what does that mean in conclusion? All right? What that 538 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: means in conclusion is there is a group of people, 539 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: a small group of people that have about five percent 540 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: if you look at these studies, and I believe this 541 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: directly correlates to the three to five percent of the 542 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 1: population that are psychopathic. I eat evil if you will, Right, 543 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 1: And then then we've got about fifteen to twenty percent 544 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: fifteen that are sociopathic. Right, and then there's a component 545 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,919 Speaker 1: that have most of us have sociopathic tendencies right, Right, 546 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: And that's all correlated to the level with which we 547 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: lie and feel comfortable about it. Well, here's the deal, right, 548 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: people are gonna lie no matter what. It's just built in. 549 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: But the problem is is when a certain select group 550 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: of people who are comfortable with that militant concept of 551 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 1: lying or that that significantly more advanced level of narcissism 552 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: that emerges into the dark triad. Because once you get 553 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: a taste for what the lie produces, i e. Power, wealth, fame, importance, 554 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: then it becomes right, where's the regulation that's going to 555 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: take place? Where are the people around you going to 556 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 1: check you? Well, everybody knows that people that are psychopathic 557 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 1: or sociopathic, they don't have long term relationships because they're 558 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: constantly lying. And the people who usually come into those 559 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: spheres of influence, are looking for their own advancement, their 560 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 1: own manipulation, so that they can rise to the upper 561 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: echelons of that spectrum of ambition or accomplishment. And how 562 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: do they do it by lying to the liars themselves 563 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: to try and gain access right to the ecosystem of 564 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: elite liars or evil people so that they can participate 565 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: in that game. That's just the reality of how this 566 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,720 Speaker 1: whole thing works. If you think it doesn't, I challenge 567 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: you over and over to prove this wrong, right, And 568 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: I think what you're experiencing is the recognition that lies 569 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: that we're being told they're not just simple lies, right, 570 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: These are lies that are rooted and evil. All you 571 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: got to do is read some of those emails that 572 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: have been released, or dig into some of these stories 573 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: about how we've been manipulated to accept things that aren't 574 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 1: really true, or how we're constantly being called out if 575 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: we notice something or we highlight some abnormality in what 576 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: people are saying or who they really are, right, because 577 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: that's taking place right now. So what I want you 578 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: to do is I want you to arm yourself with 579 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: the understanding of the prevalence of this that takes place 580 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: in society because it's the truth that brings light to 581 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: the lie. Right. So whatever you think, whatever side you are, 582 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: you want to choose to be on, what I would 583 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: recommend is you choose the side that's not the psychopathic 584 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: evil of line. You choose the side that's rooted in 585 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: the free exchange of truth. Right, because at the end 586 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: of the day, when we speak the truth, we become 587 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: better ourselves because then we're facing the hard, constructive criticism 588 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: and recognition of things that we need to change or 589 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: grow from in our own souls. And that's what Christ 590 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,479 Speaker 1: wants us to do, right, That's what Christ. We want 591 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: to grow. We want to accept our sin as a 592 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: reality that drives us to be more honest with ourselves 593 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: about who we are and how we impact others, and 594 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: the hopes that we can manipulate or shape or cajole 595 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: or maybe get rid of those where and say grow 596 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: or improve or strengthen or harden our steadfed commitment to 597 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: the truth. That's what I think we should do is 598 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: all focus on the truth wherever that takes us, in 599 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: whatever scenario, and then at least when we get to 600 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: the truth, that's what we can decide what to do 601 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,439 Speaker 1: with evil. All right, everybody, I can't thank you enough, 602 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,240 Speaker 1: Love you the most, Thank you for listening.
