[02:52] Speaker 1: And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report. I'm your host, Brent Johnson. It's a pleasure to have you with me. And let us start with the question of the week. Do you believe the collapse of the United States and global economies is a planned event? Do you believe the collapse of the US and global economies is a planned event? And if so, with what, with what objective in mind? What do you think is behind it? If you'd like to join in, if you'd like to answer the question, if you have anything else you want to participate in during the show, the toll-free number is 866-870-KRLA. That's 866-870-5752. We have late-breaking news that suggests, and it's still very difficult to know what to believe and what not to believe, but that suggests indeed the Iran War may, may be at the very, very final end. Let's pray for it. Let's, um, ask God, okay, and pray with all your hearts, okay? We'd like to get this done and over with.

[04:26] Speaker 1: State legislators in West Virginia have just introduced a bill authored by the Gun Owners of America that would authorize the state to sell machine guns to citizens. Currently, newly manufactured machine guns are banned for civilian ownership thanks to an amendment slipped into the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act. Known commonly as the Hughes Amendment, named for Representative William J. Hughes from New Jersey, this amendment banned all civilian ownership of machine guns made after May 19th, 1986. While machine guns made and registered prior to the banned date can still be transferred, the law of supply and demand has created a massive disparity as most ordinary Americans simply cannot afford these much sought-after items. Interestingly, though, the language of the Hughes Amendment specifies that the machine gun ban doesn't apply to the government, which includes state and local governments.

[05:41] Speaker 1: Specifically, Title 18 US Code Section 9220 reads, quote, "This subsection does not apply with respect to a transfer to or by or possession by or under the authority of the United States or any department or agency thereof or a state or a department, agency or political subdivision thereof." End quote.The Gun Owners of America had a thought. What if the states wanted to sell machine guns to their citizens? That is, what if they were to engage in a transfer by a state? That certainly would comport with the historical tradition in the United States where governments have sold military arms to the civilian populous since the founding. Of course, armed civilians with machine guns aligns with the prefatory clause of the Second Amendment, which reads, "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state." What could be a better and more of a well-regulated militia than a citizenry armed with machine guns?

[07:01] Speaker 1: According to Section 9220, a state government may lawfully transfer, that is, sell, give, loan, etc., machine guns to ordinary citizens. And after the transfer is complete, those citizens may lawfully possess them as long as the transfer was made by the state government. You don't have to take our word for it. The Department of Justice recently made the very same argument (clears throat) in a court filing. The case is State of New Jersey versus Bondi, which is being litigated in the US District Court for the District of Maryland. The case involves ATF's return of forced-reset triggers to their original owners after a judge in Texas ruled that these triggers are not machine guns, as ATF had previously claimed. (coughs) A forced-reset trigger, or FRT, is a device that increases the rate of fire for semiautomatic rifles by, like the name entails, forcing the reset of a trigger so that a shooter can pull the trigger more quickly and thus fire more rapidly.

[08:23] Speaker 1: These FRTs were at one point classified as machine guns by the ATF, and agents were sent out to confiscate them. But in the aftermath of Cargill versus Garland and a subsequent settlement with the manufacturer of these devices, they again have been recognized as semiautomatic triggers. The ATF was forced to return them to their rightful owners. Anti-gun jurisdictions did not like that, so they sued to prevent the return of the FRTs to their owners in their respective states. In a filing in the case, the DOJ defended its return of FRTs. DOJ argued that even if FRTs were machine guns, the F- ATF could still give them back to their owners because federal law doesn't apply to the transfer of machine guns by the government. In other words, DOJ has already made the legal argument to support the West Virginia bill that we had introduced. DOJ has already admitted that the transfer of a machine gun by the government does not offend federal law.

[09:35] Speaker 1: As the Department of Justice's filing clearly acknowledges, once that transfer from the government has occurred, the gun owner's subsequent possession of the machine gun would also be lawful under Section 9220. In summary, the exemption from the ban on machine guns follows the firearm, not those who possess it. This is why our legislation, now officially introduced by our allies in West Virginia, would create state-operated machine gun stores. Isn't that interesting? This state-run entity would be tasked with purchasing machine guns and conducting transfers to qualified members of the general public, much like how many states open and operate liquor stores. This is a huge victory for Gun Owners of America and its members and all those who believe wholeheartedly in the God-given right to keep and bear arms and government's prohibition from obstructing those rights. It is a huge victory for the principles of freedom. 866-870-KRLA is the toll-free number here, 866-870-5752.

[11:32] Speaker 1: Coming up, w- w- we're gonna talk with Katherine Albrecht about the attack on Christians and Christianity happening here and throughout the world. We'll be back with more after these words. (instrumental music)

[11:57] Speaker 3: You're listening to the Global Freedom Report. We'll be right back.

[12:01] Speaker 4: DOGA, the Department of Government Accountability. This is our citizen-led watchdog task force under American Made Action.

[12:10] Speaker 5: We're exposing corruption in child welfare, family courts, and unconstitutional federal programs like Title IV-E, the funding that is s- sifted straight down through the Health and Human Services Agency into the Social Security Administration and directly out to the agencies across 50 states that are responsible for the separation of children and families. And through lawful notices, federal lawsuits, and investigative media, DOSJA is holding those rogue officials accountable, demanding transparency and restoring parental rights. We're not waiting for Congress. We're the people taking lawful action now. Visit americanmadeaction.org. Hit the Take Action button and join the reckoning.

[13:00] Speaker 6: Our country was based on the principle of individualism, the principle of man's inalienable rights. It was a country where a man was free to seek his own happiness, to gain and produce, not to give up and renounce, to prosper, not to starve, to achieve, not to plunder, to hold as his highest possession a sense of his personal value and as his highest virtue, his self-respect. That is what the collectivists are now asking you to destroy as much of the Earth has been destroyed.

[13:34] Speaker 7: An interchanging of mind control. Come let the revolution take its toll. If you could flick the switch and open your third eye. You'd see that we should never be afraid to die. We rise up and take the power back. It's time the fat cats had a heart attack. You know that their time's coming to an end. We have to unify and watch our flag ascend.

[14:04] Speaker 1: (clicks tongue) And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report.

Katherine Albrecht, it is my pleasure to welcome you back to the Global Freedom Re- How are you, Katherine?

[16:08] Speaker 5: (smacks lips) I'm terrific, and it's so great to talk to you, Brent. Of course, I'm originally, uh, from Pasadena, so KRLA and I go way back, all the way to my childhood. So it's just a super thrill to be on KRLA with you, and I'm so excited that, uh, you've got, uh, I guess the top-rated program on KRLA. So what a, what a joy to be with you.

[16:32] Speaker 1: Well, top-rated on weekends. Okay. (laughs) It's- it's a-

[16:35] Speaker 5: Yeah, well. (laughs)

[16:35] Speaker 1: ... different program structure during the week, okay? But, uh, uh, we'll get there. We'll get there for sure. Mkay. And, uh, it's- it's absolutely a pleasure to have you back. And I love having you here to talk about the topic for today. I think this is a topic that needs serious, serious discussion, so thank you for being with us. Let's start off. It seems as if we're experiencing-

[17:02] Speaker 5: I just-

[17:02] Speaker 1: ... an unprecedented-

[17:03] Speaker 5: Hopefully I'm still connected-

[17:04] Speaker 1: ... attack-

[17:04] Speaker 5: ... to you.

[17:05] Speaker 1: Unprecedented attack.

[17:50] Speaker 1: Hmm. Okay.

[17:51] Speaker 8: ... for tuned in Sunday.

[17:52] Speaker 1: Um, Katherine, Katherine, did you hear my question? I'm not sure if you heard it 'cause we had a techn- technological-

[17:58] Speaker 5: No, you- you went-

[17:58] Speaker 1: ... glitch.

[17:59] Speaker 5: You, yeah, you went quiet-

[18:01] Speaker 1: Okay.

[18:01] Speaker 5: ... and then, um, and then black, so.

[18:04] Speaker 1: Okay. Let me try it again. Dear God, please, mkay, grant us no more technical difficulties.My question, "It seems as if we're experiencing an unprecedented attack on Christians and Christianity throughout the world. Is it true..." I'm sorry. "It is true that there have been numerous attacks against Christians throughout history, but my question is, is it worse today, or does it just seem worse because of how technology has made it easier for us to communicate with each other?"

[18:41] Speaker 9: Well, isn't that a fascinating question? In my experience, the, the whole issue of anti-Christianity has been a theme throughout, uh, really from the Industrial Revolution all the way through the 1800s and has just stepped up in pace. Sigmund Freud was, uh, people don't recognize, but he was one of the authors of the opposition to Christianity. Sigmund Freud, back at the beginning of the 1900s, published several books accusing Christianity and religion in general of being the source of humankind's problems (laughs) . And so talk about, um, a, a wrong position to take, but he argued that as soon as humanity would just get with the scientific program and get with the modern world and get rid of religion, that all of the mental illness would just evaporate and society would live in complete harmony.

[19:39] Speaker 9: And of course, we've seen the opposite is true, but that attitude in the, in the beginning of the 20th century around s- uh, around Freud's time-

[19:47] Speaker 1: Well, okay, that hasn't-

[19:48] Speaker 9: ... was in-

[19:48] Speaker 1: ... necessarily happened.

[19:49] Speaker 9: ... the whole field of psychology, the field of understanding human beings outside the-

[19:54] Speaker 1: And concerning the answer is trustworthy.

[19:54] Speaker 9: ... uh, outside-

[19:55] Speaker 1: Okay.

[19:55] Speaker 9: ... of, uh, theology, really. We've, we've always... Uh, I'm sorry? Should I continue? Okay. Well, I'm gonna keep talking till I'm told not to. So, okay. So yeah, we, we had always, um, humanity has always viewed itself through an understanding of our relationship with God and that's across cultures and that's certainly true for the Western culture and for what we consider Western civilization, that all the way from the earliest times, people understood themselves as having a moral character. People understood themselves as having a God who looked out for them, who, um, cared what they did, who cared how they lived, who had a hand in their lives.

[20:42] Speaker 9: And then when we, um, developed all of the technology of the 20th century, people began, along with, uh, I guess with Freud's encouragement and that of many others back, uh, secular, um, uh, leadership back then and thought leadership, was, uh, there was a message that we don't need to rely on God anymore, that we can become like gods through our own technology, and this whole idea of God was, was antiquated and no longer needed. What's happened since then, and it's, uh, fascinating to me because, as you mentioned in the introduction, I am on the board of directors for my county's public mental health authority. And so this is the, um, you know, they run the residential homes, they run the, um, um, substance abuse treatment centers, they run all of the public mental health for this area.

[21:38] Speaker 9: And in the course of getting, um, acclimated, I've been on that board now for a year, I have discovered that since I got my doctorate from Harvard in 2006, that there has been a massive shift in the understanding of psychology, psychiatry, and the people who, uh, run our hospitals, um, physicians, et cetera. The shift has been that now they're beginning to wake up to the fact that getting rid, rid of religion might not have been such a good idea (laughs) and we can look around-

[22:13] Speaker 1: No, no.

[22:13] Speaker 9: ... and we can see the fruit-

[22:15] Speaker 1: (clears throat) No.

[22:15] Speaker 9: ... of that. You know, we've got-

[22:17] Speaker 1: Yeah, and-

[22:17] Speaker 9: ... we've got-

[22:17] Speaker 1: ... and let me bu-

[22:18] Speaker 9: ... unprecedented levels of... Go ahead.

[22:21] Speaker 1: I'm gonna pause you for a moment because I have a break I have to go to. Unfortunately, we do have to deal with, with paying the bills. But keep, keep it in mind, because we have a lot to talk about here. My guest is Katherine Albrecht. The topic is the attack on Christians and Christianity. We'll be right back with more of the Global Freedom Report. (upbeat music plays)

Pure trusts have been around in the USA since 1790 when patriot Patrick Henry created the first one. Pure trusts establish ironclad protection for real property, vehicles, businesses, and just about anything else. A pure trust creates a wall of privacy over its assets, reduces personal liability, and protects property from attachment. Freedom Bound International has been creating pure trusts for over 35 years, and none of their trusts have ever been successfully attacked. Call today at 888-385-FREE.

[23:51] Speaker 11: The Answer Breaking News.

[23:54] Speaker 12: California's proposed new rules for oil refineries are facing opposition from industry leaders and lawmakers. Changes to the state's cap-and-invest program overseen by CARB would make it harder and more expensive for refineries to buy credits that let them keep operating in the state. Opponents say the changes could raise fuel prices and energy costs, and some may consider operating in California if they are passed.

[24:29] Speaker 15: So I've been an AM 870 listener for decades. I heard the Allegiance Gold Show with host Alex Evkarion. He owns Allegiance Gold. What caught my eye was Alex is a former banker and says you can bring your portfolio and he'd take a look at it from a banker's perspective. So I couldn't pass that up. I drove to their office, nice office, nice staff. Alex looked at my portfolio, said it was pretty good. He didn't try to sell me anything. He showed me how gold and silver provides a balanced portfolio and I agreed, so I bought six products from him. I'm coming back for more. I couldn't be happier with Allegiance Gold. Great conservative folks there. Straight shooters. My kind of people.

[27:03] Speaker 13: Freedom Fever.

[27:04] Speaker 21: The destiny of self-government and the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty is finally staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

[27:15] Speaker 13: Freedom Fever. Spread it around.

[27:18] Speaker 22: We're walking the path of destruction. Our country is going down for good. For years, we've lived beyond our means but now our debts are due. It's time to pay the piper who's so long supported you. If you listen you can hear the sound of America collapsing. We're depression bound.

[27:47] Speaker 1: And welcome back to The Global Freedom Report. I'm your host, Brent Johnson. My guest is Katherine Albrecht. The topic is the attacks on Christians happening around the world now. Katherine, are the attacks that we see happening today (clears throat) the equivalent of the Inquisition of the 12th to the 19th centuries? Your opinion.

[28:12] Speaker 9: Well, that's a good question. The Inquisition was actually based on an overzealous, um, attitude about Christianity that they had it right, and you had to have the orthodoxy or the, the standard viewpoint that they had, or you, um, well, step in line or, or, or get, uh, executed basically. That's, that's what it came down to. This is a little different. I think what we've been seeing since the Enlightenment really, the, the 16, 1700s, the 1800s, and then through the technological era, has been a really open hostility to Christianity itself. It's not just that you have to hold the right views, you know, the view, the views that the powers that be want you to hold, the views of the Catholic Church or the views of, uh, the monarchy or whoever's in charge. It's really been, uh, for the first time, really unprecedented in, in the history of Western civilization that Christianity itself is under attack.

[29:12] Speaker 9: And that has been the case really since, um, uh, I think hardcore since Freud and all of the technologists and all of the atheists came into power in the 20th century. What I think is important to realize though, Brent, is that it's not, it's not as one-sided as it has been for all of our lifetimes. So y- as a Christian, as an outspoken and, um, real believing Christian, I have had the experience that, you know, at Harvard you, you can only imagine (laughs) Harvard's a, a very interesting place.

[29:48] Speaker 9: Harvard has carved in stone in so many places around campus, uh, f- sayings, uh, li- literally Biblical scripture and sayings about Christianity carved throughout the, um, architecture at Harvard, and that was all put in place because of course Harvard, along with all of the major universities, were put there as, uh, schools to teach about the Bible, schools to t- teach about religion, and not just about religion but about what it meant to be a human being, what it meant to have morality, what it meant to serve humanity, what it meant to be a good person. And i- at that time being an educated person meant being a moral, upstanding, good person.

[30:30] Speaker 9: Now not everybody

[30:31] Speaker 1: Well-

[30:31] Speaker 9: ... who went through that system clearly back then was doing that, but that's, that's what it's always meant, and in this century, it changed. This century being an educated-

[30:40] Speaker 1: Well, let me, let me-

[30:40] Speaker 9: ... person meant g- getting rid of religion.

[30:43] Speaker 1: Well, so, so, actually, that, that raises another question, which (clears throat) goes to the motives behind the attacks of Christians. After all, Christianity is a religion of peace and brotherhood. So who in his right mind would want to hurt people who preach peace? What am I missing?

[31:05] Speaker 9: Well, I think that there's a secondary message, Brent, um, to Christianity as well though, and that is a message that says, "Peace and brotherhood, yes. Uh, love the Lord with all your heart, mind, s- soul, and strength, love your neighbor as yourself, but there are rules." There are rules. And I think that particularly in the 1960s in this country, that people didn't want rules. They, th- there was a rebellion, the likes of which probably hasn't been, uh, seen since the Garden of Eden, a rebellion that said, "We don't want any rules. We wanna be able to do whatever we want, put whatever filthy content we want on the, on television, and then later on the internet, engage in any kind of practices that we see fit, and we don't want any rules. We don't want any morality." My mom grew up in the 1960s.

[31:56] Speaker 9: She actually got her teaching credential in the '60s, and it was a horrible experience for her because she said, "You would go into a class, and the classes were designed to dismantle your sense of right and wrong." And so they would actually have these consciousness-raising, uh, seminars and classes where y- you would tell them what you believe. You would, uh, the professor would ask what you believed and then would say, "Well, why do you believe that?" And then would systematically dismantle it so that there was no black and white, there was only gray, and the only reason that one thing was good and another thing wasn't was just your opinion.

[32:30] Speaker 9: And so our-

[32:31] Speaker 1: So, so what-

[32:31] Speaker 9: ... whole country went through that, that period, that, that period. But I think that, just to answer your question, the reason there's so much hostility to a, a, a religion of peace and a religion of, you know, the fruits of the spirit, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, self-control, all of those things against which there is no law, the reason is because it does say, hey, there are certain things that are wrong. They're against God. They're against others. They're against your own body, against yourself, and you really can't do those things, and you need to repent. So there's a central core message of Christianity about repentance and forgiveness that I don't think people wanna hear.

[33:09] Speaker 1: Well, and, and I get what you're saying, but what I, what I have difficulty with is that in what we see happening in parts of the world, Christians are not just being attacked on principle, they're literally being attacked. I mean, there, there literally are places where being a Christian is, (clears throat) you're in danger of being killed, okay? And so-

[33:32] Speaker 9: Well, that's always been-

[33:33] Speaker 1: ... you're in-

[33:33] Speaker 9: ... the case though, Brent. I mean-

[33:34] Speaker 1: But, but s-

[33:35] Speaker 9: ... that, you know, when Mohammed-

[33:36] Speaker 1: ... so, so-

[33:36] Speaker 9: ... rose to power, the reason we had the Holy Wars is because they were, the Muslims were killing Christians, you know, back centuries ago. So that, that's nothing new. This idea that-

[33:45] Speaker 1: Well, I, well, what-

[33:46] Speaker 9: ... that there's hostility, that, that's pretty typical. I'm, I'm more talking about the US.

[33:51] Speaker 1: What I... Yeah, but w- what, what I'm trying to get at is that you're saying that the idea of we don't wanna be bound by rules, it, it is a justification for doing horrible things to people, horrible things-

[34:06] Speaker 9: (laughs)

[34:06] Speaker 1: ... because we can't just limit this to the US. And as you'll see by my next series of questions, okay, you'll see that it goes far beyond that. Here, let... A recent report by the Family Research Council, and this is actually very interesting, um, released August 11th, 2025, documented 1,384 hostile incidents against Christian churches in the United States between 2018 and 2024. What began with fewer than 100 incidents annually ballooned after the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade. That year alone, 198 attacks were reported. And by 2023, the number had nearly doubled again, reaching 485 cases before settling slightly lower at 415 in 2024. My question, what role do you believe Roe v. Wade plays in the attacks on Christians in the US?

[35:13] Speaker 9: Well, I think it's the same thing, because what is Roe v. Wade other than saying you can't do what you want to do? Y- if you're, if you have a pregnancy, you can't just kill your baby. And the, the, the whole birth control revolution, the whole sexual revolution, I mean, so many aspects of this all tie back to the same core issue, and that is people want to be able to do whatever they want. This is, this is a, a, a corrupt society that's gone mad and says, "We don't want any rules." But the consequence is, if you have no sexual morals, if you have no rules, uh, regarding that aspect of your life, i- there will be pregnancies. And at that point, there's responsibility, and the people don't want that either. So the- there's a, there's a lot of selfishness going on here too, Brent.

[36:03] Speaker 9: I mean, that, that, that's-

[36:03] Speaker 1: Well, you know-

[36:04] Speaker 9: ... a big part of it.

[36:05] Speaker 1: ... but, but, you know, also, the only issue of Roe v. Wade was that the federal government will not underwrite, will not s- support, will not, uh... R- Roe, Roe v. Wade basically said that you can't use government benefits, you can't use taxpayer dollars to fund an abortion. That is essentially what, what Roe v. Wade said. So the people are saying, "Well, if I can't-"

[36:30] Speaker 9: But, you know, when Roe v. Wade said-

[36:32] Speaker 1: "... if I can't, if I can't take it-"

[36:32] Speaker 9: ... "that you have a constitutional right as a woman to have an abortion," then what that did is it told the states...

[36:45] Speaker 1: Go ahead. What happened? Catherine.Okay, I'm not hearing Kathryn anymore.

[36:58] Speaker 9: So, but there's, there's a second part of the striking down of Roe V. Wade and that is that the states now... Yes?

[37:07] Speaker 1: No. Go ahead, Kathryn. Kathryn, your microphone is on. Speak, please.

[37:14] Speaker 9: And I'm... You're frozen. Okay. So yeah, the, the, the issue with Roe V. Wade on the federal level is that no longer will it be paid for by the federal government, but what that did, by removing that Constitutional "right" for a woman to have an abortion is it enabled the passage of a lot of laws in a lot of different states around the country that are now criminalizing abortions. So even though it wasn't criminalized on the federal level, the, it, the, the restriction that kept states from criminalizing it got removed, and so I think that's really where the anger came up. And you see some states are actively supporting, uh, abortion rights. Other states are prosecuting women who have abortions or people who provide abortifacient drugs to those women. So, we- this is really how this country was meant to function. We are, um, 50 states.

[38:11] Speaker 9: We're not one single federal government, we are 50 states and the reason for that, our founding fathers really thought that through, "If you don't like the state you're in, then you can go ahead and move to another state." And there's been a, a mass exodus. I am not in Los Angeles for a reason. (laughs) I am actually in the Midwest right now because it, this is a better fit for my political views, my, my, my Christian views, my moral views, my lifestyle. This is a better fit for me than Los Angeles was. Even though we moved there in the 1970s, I felt pretty comfortable, but when I, um, and I lived, uh, in New England while getting my doctorate and raising my kids and when I moved back to Los Angeles after having been gone for 20 years, I found it to be a place that, um, that I didn't feel welcome in.

[39:01] Speaker 9: I really didn't with my, um, beliefs and my values and my view of the world, which I have certainly not arrived at, um, you know, because it was shoved down my throat or (laughs) through any kind of, um... I mean, I was kind of a wild child and I've lived all over the world, I've done a lot of things and I have concluded after many, many years and lots of education that, uh, I believe in the Lord. I mean, that's plain and simple, because that's where the, the goodness is, that's where the health is, that's where the wellbeing is, that's where the fruits of the spirit-

[39:34] Speaker 1: Excellent.

[39:34] Speaker 9: ... the joy, the peace, the love. That's where all of that is and I just-

[39:38] Speaker 1: Excellent.

[39:38] Speaker 9: ... didn't feel like that fit in in Los Angeles.

[39:42] Speaker 1: And thank you, Kathryn. We're gonna take another break. We'll be right back with Kathryn Albrecht talking about Christianity. We'll get to your calls as well. We'll be right back with more of The Global Freedom Report. (instrumental music)

[41:01] Speaker 24: If you collect 100 black ants and 100 fire ants and put them in a jar, nothing will happen. But if you take the jar, shake it violently, and leave it on a table, the ants will start killing each other. (instrumental music plays) Red believes the black is the enemy, while black believes the red is the enemy, when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. The same is true in society. Men versus women, Black versus white, faith versus science, young versus old, et cetera. Before we fight each other, we must ask ourselves, "Who shook the jar?" I'm Mark Twain, also known as Samuel Clemens.

[42:26] Speaker 1: And welcome back to The Global Freedom Report. I'm your host, Brent Johnson. Kathryn Albrecht is my guest. We're talking the attacks on Christians and Christianity. Kathryn, let me ask you. In Israel, incidents of harassment and desecration against Christians surged after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's current government came to power in late 2022. According to the Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue-... the year 2023 saw more than a hundred cases of harassment, vandalism, and even physical assaults, acts often carried out by young men aligned with religious nationalist movements. Latin Patriarch Pierbattista Pizzaballa has spoken bluntly, warning that extremists feel protected by the cultural and political environment which now tolerates their aggression. What role do the cultural and political environments play in today's attacks on Christians?

[43:35] Speaker 9: Well, I may, I may not be your best guest for the international aspect because my focus really has been on religion in the US, so I, I have done a, a bit of research because I believe that we are actually entering into the end of days as described in the Book of Revelation, so I've done a lot of theological and scriptural research reading my Bible with regard to the relationship between Israel and Christianity. One thing I can say for sure, though, Brent, is that humanity has really two roads. We are all born into this world with an ID card that has the Devil's face on it. In the same way that you and I were both born in America and we are American through nothing more than an accident of our birth, this is where we were born, every single person born onto planet Earth is a citizen of a planet the sovereign of which is the Devil himself, and that goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden. He is the prince of this world. We know this. Christ told us that.

[44:38] Speaker 9: H- we, as babies, got a birth certificate that said the US and we got a spiritual ID card that said the Devil is our sovereign. The good news is that because of Christ, we get a chance to give up that citizenship, (laughs) to, to declare a new citizenship through our repentance and our choice to believe in Jesus Christ. When we do that, we get rid of that old card and we get a new citizenship, and at that point, we... You know, you look around at the world, Brent, and people say, "Oh, the wor- you know, the penguins are dying and the, the ocean levels are rising and there's all of this terrorism and all of this fighting, and the, the world is falling apart." I would be scared if it were falling apart in a way other than what the Bible says, but the Bible says this, this will happen. There will be fighting in the Holy Land. There will be opposition.

[45:31] Speaker 9: We know all of these things would come, but instead of viewing this as a world that I am losing, I view this as, um, I'm, I'm on the rescue team. (laughs) Just like when a house is on fire, the firemen in their fireproof suits don't run in and go, "Oh, no! The furniture's burning! The pictures are burning!" They run in and say, "I don't care what burns, I'm getting the people out of here," and this is not our world. Th- if, if, eh, everyone listening who is a Christian, what is burning is not our world. We're the rescue team. We've got our oxygen tank. We've got our fireproof suit. Our job is to go into the burning building and get the people out. And another analogy would be the Titanic. You know, we struck an iceberg way back in the Garden of Eden. We've been taking on water ever since. This boat is sinking.

[46:20] Speaker 9: Our job is, as the crew of the Titanic, to convince people the ship's going down, you need to get in the, in the lifeboat, and there's only one lifeboat, and that is the saving blood of Jesus Christ. So when, when you view your job less as, "Oh, no!" trying to survive in a tough world, but instead you view your job as being on the rescue team that God puts you to work, then all of this fighting between Christians and others, it takes on a whole different character and you realize that is the nature of this world. It will always fight against what is right. It will always rebel. It will always do the things that it has always done.

[46:58] Speaker 9: But I truly believe, and I've sensed this, um, increasingly in the last couple of years, that God is pouring out his spirit and he is calling people, he is calling each of us to step up and share the good news, help people, show them the lifeboat, get people into a place of safety so that they're no longer worried about their own skin, but they actually are looking to eternity and figuring out, "Well, as long as I'm here, I'd better s- save as many people as I can." So that's, um, you know, that's, that's really my take on this whole, um, uh, th- just the warring back and forth between Christians and others.

[47:36] Speaker 1: W- well, you know, I came across something interesting the other day and I wanted to ask you about it. Health affairs recently published an abstract inviting that considerat- in, in, inviting consideration that faith and Christianity wi- may well represent a public health matter.

[47:58] Speaker 9: Yes.

[47:58] Speaker 1: That government policies related to health may be served by incorporating support for individual faith in a higher power. Can you comment on that?

[48:08] Speaker 9: Well, that's beautiful. So I just took, last week, a course, uh, a two-day conference with the Harvard Medical School with some of the top academics in the world. The, th- there is a shift, th- from what Freud did to our, um, sort of whole, (laughs) h- my whole career in psychology, is make religion a dirty word within psychology, which has tried to stamp it out. But in the last 20 years, quietly, uh, there's been a change, and what has changed is that even though the psychologists and the, the government folks and whoever else were opposed to religion, people continued practicing it. We've got over 90% of people in this country believing in a higher power, either engaging in prayer or in some form believing that, um, that there's something bigger than us, and this has finally caught on with the public health authorities and they're actually putting out a call saying, "Based on the evidence, here, let me tell you what the evidence is.

[49:11] Speaker 9: Six times lower rates of suicide for people who believe in God. A..."... and who pray. And that number gets even better when they go to church. So, um, lower rates of depression, lower rates of OCD, lower rates of, uh, dissociative identity disorder, substance abuse, better marriages, um, just lower rates of crime, lower rates of alcoholism. The list goes on and on and on, and in fact, now they're finally, instead of saying, "I just don't wanna hear that evidence," they're now saying, "Wait a minute. This is actually a really powerful intervention, that if we can support people in their religious faith, that prayer and going to church, the community that involves and just believing in God has such an incredible power to make peoples' lives better," that they're now putting money into it and programs together for it, and it's wonderful. But nobody knows it's happening yet.

[50:10] Speaker 1: Wow. Wow. That, that really is something. Well, here, here's another one which I thought was really interesting. According to research published online December 25th in the Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry, the importance of religion or spirituality is associated with the thickness of certain brain regions. Have you heard about that?

[50:35] Speaker 9: Isn't that crazy?

[50:35] Speaker 1: Do you have any kind of... Uh, y- yeah. Uh, that absolutely blew my mind. (laughs)

[50:42] Speaker 9: So, so here's the thing. There's a gentleman named, uh, Howard Koenig, Dr. Howard Koenig. He's been doing this for, like, 30, 40 years. The Lord's been using him in, in, in incredible ways, and he is kinda the father of this whole new research direction. He has been working at Duke University at their Spirituality and Religion, uh, Center, which he founded-

[51:03] Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[51:03] Speaker 9: ... a couple decades ago.

[51:04] Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[51:04] Speaker 9: And he was ki-... He's written books and articles-

[51:08] Speaker 1: Katherine, Katherine, Katherine. Katherine, hang on. Let me, let me interrupt you, because you're not gonna have time to give this full answer. We're coming up on a hard break. So, when we come to the other side of the break-

[51:17] Speaker 9: Okay. (laughs)

[51:18] Speaker 1: ... then I'd like you to pick this up, because I really wanna hear what you have to say. But it's a hard break. There's nothing I can do about it. So, stay with me. Stay with us. 866-870-KRLA if you'd like to speak with Katherine Albrecht or if you'd like to answer the question o- of the week, which I'll ask again when we come to the other side of the break. And we will take the calls that are on the line right now as well. Stay tuned. This is the Global Freedom Report. We'll be right back after these words.

[54:25] Speaker 31: With SRN News, I'm Mary Rose. Israel has escalated its campaign against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps by using loitering drones to target troops, checkpoints, and command centers across Tehran.

[54:39] Speaker 32: The drone attacks aim to dismantle the regime's street-level control. The strikes, part of a wider effort to degrade Iran's military and intelligence infrastructure without a ground invasion, are testing whether air power alone can achieve regime collapse amid widespread public discontent.

[57:56] Speaker 1: (instrumental music plays) Hour number two of the Global Freedom Report. If you just joined us, my name is Brent Johnson. I'm your host. Our question for the week. Our question for the week: Do you believe the collapse of the United States and global economies is a planned event? And if so, what do you think the objective is? Roy calling in from Santa Monica. I appreciate your waiting on the line, Roy. You are on the air. Do you have an answer to the question?

[58:41] Speaker 38: I, I was going in... Yes, hi. Can you hear me? Can you hear me okay?

[58:44] Speaker 1: Yes.

[58:45] Speaker 38: Can you hear me?

[58:45] Speaker 1: Yes, I can. Yes, I can.

[58:48] Speaker 38: Okay, good. I was asking you about the... I got in when you were talking about the, the new, uh, gun laws with the machine guns that have been legal. Is this now precedent last week this came through, or how did this... I got in the middle of what you were saying, so I don't know how you, you cash it, eh- cash it, cashed it to the audience and, uh, what was happening, so I could just recap on that-

[59:09] Speaker 1: Uh-

[59:09] Speaker 38: ... because it's very, very, uh, interesting thing that we know that those of us in the, you know, following this have been interested in for the last two years. It's the seminal case in Kansas.

[59:18] Speaker 1: It, it's i- i- it's a, it's a case promoted by Gun Owners of America out of West Virginia, okay? It's a bill promoted-

[59:26] Speaker 38: Okay.

[59:26] Speaker 1: ... by them, and it's still in process, okay? But because the Department of Justice has already made an argument in favor of the same, uh, principle th- that GOA has been using in promoting this bill, um, you know, it- it's kind of like having the Department of Justice on board with them. But, um-

[59:49] Speaker 38: Right.

[59:49] Speaker 1: ... i- the matter, i- i- this only-

[59:51] Speaker 38: No, no, no. I, I-

[59:51] Speaker 1: ... came to my attention last week.

[59:55] Speaker 38: Well, some, two things, two points and I'll let you go. Uh, one is, um, if you don't know this, they had the, a mass meeting because y- you know, uh, I don't know if you heard about the Kansas case that happened in October of '24 before the election, where a judge ruled that, that machine guns are constitutional. And so, of course Garland didn't do anything 'cause they thought they were gonna win the election. The election goes south and nobody does anything, but they did file and nothing went anywhere and it was all right. But then last year, uh, as, as, uh, the President comes on board with Bondi, there was a mass meeting with all the owners, and apparently under the Big Beautiful Bill, uh, the big, the reason it took so long that's off the books, it's not in the media narrative, is that he was willing to give up, which he did, short-barreled rifles and silencers, suppressors, so those people understand.

[01:00:39] Speaker 38: And they gave those to the, to deal, but they would not give up on destructive devices and machine guns. And it was because the President himself and Bondi says, "We are not signing on any of that. We don't want them. We don't like them. And I'm sorry, that's who we are." And this is from the horse's mouth of one of the biggest gun rights groups in the country, not the NRA, but pretty much one of the biggest pursuers with all these rights groups in the room, and they were just gobsmacked because they couldn't believe they'd hear Mr. MAGA was doing this, and it's kinda s- shocking. So that's one thing, and that's why it's interesting to hear this bill being put out to West Virginia, 'cause I guess this is in response to that action that happened sometime last fall, uh, between November and, and January of this, of this year.

[01:01:20] Speaker 1: Okay, and, and, and wha-

[01:01:23] Speaker 38: And the co- and the Congresswoman as well.

[01:01:23] Speaker 1: ... and, and, and wha- what's the other, what's, what's the other element? I wanna get back to the interview. What's the other element, Roy, please?

[01:01:28] Speaker 38: Well, 787-And you would call. I would, I would ask you, if you have the time tonight, to call into your fellow show and let this news from your mouth to them, to, uh, the Gunslingers, to hear this across the nation. Because I don't think a lot of guys are hearing this, and this is, as you said, seminal. And it's really, uh, it's an- it's an incredible thing, and you've got great command of it. And I really thank you for all you do, and- and Kathryn and everybody else that, uh, you're doing there at the show, and keep it up.

[01:01:53] Speaker 1: Thank you. Appreciate it very much. Thank you. Roy.

[01:01:57] Speaker 38: Thank you, and be well.

[01:01:58] Speaker 1: All right.

[01:01:58] Speaker 38: And please call in tonight. Yeah, love to hear you. Thanks.

[01:02:02] Speaker 1: Uh, and my guest is Kathryn Albrecht. We're talking about Christianity and the attacks on it. Kathryn, before the break, I had mentioned to you a JAMA Psychiatry journal, um, publication that associated the importance of religion or spirituality with greater thickness in certain brain regions, and you were about to respond when we ran out of time in the first hour. Can you pick it up, please?

[01:02:32] Speaker 9: W- yeah, so I was talking about, uh, just a little bit of background. So for 40 years, uh, there's a doctor, Christian doctor, who was trying to buck the trend, and nobody would listen. He published multiple books, hundreds of articles. He's now, um, uh, very well respected and- and has gotten the respect he needed, and he's really moved this, um, this whole direction to bringing religion and spirituality back into healthcare and mental healthcare and public policy. But the- the article that you cite was actually done in 2014. They've done a follow-up study, and study after study has shown it to be true. H- tha- that, I actually had him on my own radio program as a guest, and I said, "What turned the tide? After so many decades of everyone being opposed to religion, what turned the tide?

[01:03:24] Speaker 9: You had so much writing and things you did." He said, "It was this one study," and it's the study, Brent, that you just cited, that was published in, um, uh, well, there- there's- there's a whole background on it. But it were some colleagues of his who said, "Let's take a look. We're e- e- we've shown all of the social measures, the improvements in depression, the improvements in suicide, um, you know, reductions in- in suicide and- and substance abuse. Let's loo- let's give them something that they can measure. Let's look at the brain." And so what they did was they took a group, uh, they took 100 people who were at high risk of depression because their families had depression, and they divided them up based on whether they believed in God or didn't. So this was... They're self-selected. This was their own reporting. Do you go to church? Do you believe in God? Do you pray? Do you have a religious faith?

[01:04:19] Speaker 9: And then they separated them out on the basis of that self-identification, and then they put them in an MRI machine, which you can't... (laughs) You can't control that. You can't modify what they're gonna see in there. And what they found was that multiple structures in the brain were more robust, were healthier, were stronger, were anatomically different between these two groups. And the difference, as you pointed out, is cortical thickness. Now, this is a measure of the robustness of the brain. The- the cortical lining and the- a- and the structures are the things that protect our, the gray matter in our brains and enable us to think, and in the emotional areas, in the cognitive areas, they found much stronger brain structures. And so, Dr. Harold Koenig, all of a sudden, (laughs) everybody said, "Why is this?" And then there he was, with all of his decades' worth of research, and said, "This is what I've been trying to tell you guys all along.

[01:05:16] Speaker 9: It is good for people to believe in God. It is good for people to practice not just spirituality, but religion." And that study is the one that finally woke society up, and then they started paying attention, and that was, uh, what, uh, 12 years ago. And in those 12 years, it has just exploded. People, if you have not yet heard the research that's out there, you will soon. It is a- a tsunami. It is a beautiful groundswell. Uh, uh, some of the most incredibly intelligent people within mental healthcare, within public policy, I mean, there are former people appointed by, um, both administrations, by Obama, by Clinton, by George Bush. I mean, there are experts out here who have served in all of the administrations now who are on board with this, talking about, "How do we introduce this across the board?" So if- if you're like me, (laughs) where you've lived decades where if you talk to people about your faith, you'll get that pushback, "Oh, you're living in the Dark Ages.

[01:06:18] Speaker 9: Oh, you're not scientific." Well, now you can turn around and say to them, "Actually, I'm more up on the science than you are, because your position in opposition to religion is no longer the current scientific state-of-the-art position to take. It is now religion. It's hip to have faith again. So it's- it's a, it's a wonderful change, and I am so excited about it. In fact, I'm taking the 14 hours of the conference that I attended online, and I'm distilling it down to its essence. And I will send that over your way.

[01:06:50] Speaker 9: You can, you can take a look at some of the research that, uh

[01:06:53] Speaker 1: Oh, thank you. I-

[01:06:53] Speaker 9: ... and just the discussions that are being had. It's amazing.

[01:06:56] Speaker 1: Well, I- I'm- I'm just stunned by this. I mean, I really am, truly am.

[01:07:02] Speaker 9: It's so great. (laughs)

[01:07:03] Speaker 1: Like, the bra- the brain is actually healthier if you have faith. I mean, that- that- that, that to me is so much a message from God as I can imagine. Well, okay, all right. Now, we come to the question that I think is at the heart of everything. You know, uh, uh, if you've listened to this show, if you've watched this show, you know that what I'm always about is finding answers. I'm not... It, to me, it's not sufficient to just say, "We have a problem."We have to go further.

[01:07:34] Speaker 9: Hmm.

[01:07:34] Speaker 1: Now, let me say, with, with all due respect to you not being on board about all the international elements, I just wanna go down a very brief list. Because Christians are being persicated... persecuted in numerous countries. The most dangerous being North Korea, Somalia, Yemen-

[01:07:57] Speaker 9: Yep.

[01:07:57] Speaker 1: ... Sudan, Eritrea, Syria, Nigeria, and I know someone in Nigeria who's a pastor who has (laughs) , uh, firsthand information about the, uh, attacks on Christians. Pakistan, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, and these nations ex-experience extreme levels of violence and discrimination against those who believe in the teachings of Yeshua. So now, the question I have to ask you is, what is the solution? How do we stop devastating attacks, whether it's in foreign countries, in the US, attacks on the Christian way of life.

[01:08:46] Speaker 1: What can we do to, to address this more than just saying, "Well, we have a problem."

[01:08:57] Speaker 9: Boy, um, first of all-

[01:09:00] Speaker 1: I don't a- I, I, i, i, i don't-

[01:09:00] Speaker 9: ... I think it's important to realize that we serve-

[01:09:03] Speaker 1: ... i, i, i, i, i don't-

[01:09:03] Speaker 9: ... a mighty God.

[01:09:06] Speaker 1: ... i, i, don't- I don't ask easy questions, by the way. (laughs (laughs)

[01:09:10] Speaker 1: Okay? (laughs)

[01:09:10] Speaker 9: That's okay.

[01:09:11] Speaker 1: (laughs)

[01:09:11] Speaker 9: So the, the-

[01:09:13] Speaker 1: (coughs)

[01:09:13] Speaker 9: We were told that these things would happen, so there's nothing that is, you know, the, the world's-

[01:09:19] Speaker 1: (coughs)

[01:09:19] Speaker 9: ... going to hell in a handbasket. If it were happening randomly, as I said b- before the break, I would be afraid. But the fact that it's happening precisely the way we were told, we would t- we, we were told that we would be persecuted for righteousness' sake. We were told that as the world hated the Lord, he would hate his people. We were told that this would happen. This world is not our home, and this world does not have Jesus Christ as its sovereign. It has the devil. And all of these things, w- you know, we're not fighting flesh and blood. We are fighting spiritual powers and rulers and authorities in high places. That is the demonic world. That's what we're up against. So it is true that the demonic world expresses itself through people because demons don't have hands. They, if they did, if the, if the spiritual world were capable of doing physical things to us, well, they would pick up a baseball bat and hit us over the head with it.

[01:10:17] Speaker 9: They, th- th- the, the demonic world must work through people, and it does that by inspiring unforgiveness and hatred and rebellion and all of these dark things we've been talking about. So I think our job is to get as right as we can with the Holy Spirit. Our job is to look to the, the source of power in the universe, which is God Himself, and ask to be empowered, but not to take on their tactics and their approaches of, you know, anger and bitterness and hatred. Look at Jesus' example. You know, we are told to pick up our cross and follow him. So I think the best we can do, and I, I, this is probably not a super popular answer for people who wanna see the US go to war and, you know, engage in all of these things, but this is a religion of peace. And we are to stand our ground, not to be wishy-washy and accept things that are unacceptable, but to lead by example, to be a strong, upstanding people ourselves and call a spade a spade.

[01:11:21] Speaker 1: And I think that's an excellent answer, actually. I think it is superb. Keep planting the seeds because when you plant those seeds, they do germinate. They do grow. Not everybody will get it, but people will get it. Catherine, we got one more break here, okay, and we'll do some things to finish up. But stay with me, okay, because I have a few more things I wanna talk to you about. We'll be right back with more of the Global Freedom Report right after these words.

[01:11:51] Speaker 1: (beeping)

[01:11:55] Speaker 3: (upbeat music) Don't go away. There's a lot more of the Global Freedom Report when we come back. Are you ready to awaken to the truth? (dramatic music) Birthright: Born Free, Live Free is the award-winning documentary shaking audiences across America. And now, you can host a screening in your community either in person or virtually. Visit birthrightthemovie.com and select Host a Screening. Hosts can sell tickets and keep a portion of the proceeds or purchase a license to offer a free event. Birthright, because freedom isn't free, and silence is surrender.

[01:12:33] Speaker 39: This is Thanatos, the Dark Avenger, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Friend to the friendless, helping those who need help. And this is the Global Freedom Report with Brent Johnson.

[01:12:44] Speaker 40: The Dark Ages were 1,000 years of chaos, war, famine, and disease. You think that won't happen again because we have computers and jet planes and cellular phones? Think again.

[01:12:59] Speaker 11: All gave some. And some gave all. Some stood true for the red, white, and blue. And some had to fall. And if you ever think of me. Think of all your liberties and recall. Some gave all.

[01:13:36] Speaker 1: The ever burgeoning list of diseases, syndromes, conditions, and other designations for what is described by the psychological community as abnormal behavior suggests that at some point, perhaps in our not too distant future, we may be faced with the helpless realization that the tech- the next and greatest strain of disease has overwhelmed our population. Here now is one such possible scenario, and you best believe it, it's coming to your neighborhood sooner than you think. Scientists, along with renowned experts in the psychological community, have uncovered an insidious condition that threatens to undermine the very fabric of our society. This disease has already reached epidemic proportions in the United States and may represent the greatest health threat to the human race since the Black Plague. I am talking about olfactory dysfunctional disorder.

[01:14:43] Speaker 1: Believed to afflict more than 290 million Americans, this voracious contagion infects the septum, slowly climbing up the nasal membrane until it lodges in the cerebral cortex at the base of the brain. People afflicted with olfactory dysfunctional disorder, referred to in medical circles as OD, tend to be somewhat dull-witted, often displaying a decided lack of drive or motivation. These people may be seen throughout our land, going about their lives aimlessly and without purpose. Latest estimates are that by the year 2030, there will be over 350 million OD people in America alone. How can you recognize OD people? Well, OD people tend not to think for themselves, often resembling cattle more than people in their mannerisms. Frequently, they can be found congregating around large electronic boxes which tell them what to think and feel and speak.

[01:15:52] Speaker 1: They are very docile and extremely obedient, but are incapable of handling any situation for which they have not been given specific instructions. OD people are unable to exercise independent thought. Authorities are very concerned at the ease with which oddity is communicated to others. You are advised to report any odd incidents you encounter to your local sheriff. Stay away from people you think may be OD and don't trust any OD strangers. For more information on how you can help to combat OD people, contact the Society for the Preservation of Every American's Knowledge one united team. Call 1-800-SPEAK-OUT. That's 1-800-SPEAK-OUT. It's time for all Americans to speak out against OD people. All right. A little bit of humor for the, the heaviness of the topic. My guest is Kathrine Albrecht, the topic is Christianity and the attacks on Christians, and the solutions, what we do about it.

[01:17:16] Speaker 1: Now, Kathrine, you, you've written a children's book, I Won't Take the Mark, telling the story of Revelations in a way that inspires the young to stand against the scriptural mark of the beast. How has this book been received? Do you believe the mark already exists today or are we still awaiting it?

[01:17:45] Speaker 9: So,-

[01:17:46] Speaker 1: Those, two questions.

[01:17:46] Speaker 9: ... the reason, um, and I have a copy of it here, I will hold it up, I Won't Take the Mark. So the reason I wrote this book is because when I was a little girl in a farmhouse in Ohio, my grandmother sat me down and said, "There will come a time when people will not be able to buy or sell." And we had just been to the grocery store, we were putting away groceries and she interrupted them to talk to me, and she said, a-and I said, "Wh- what do you mean, Grandma? They won't be able to buy or sell?" She said, "Without a number. You'll have to have a number on your right hand or on your forehead and that number is 666." And she shared with me the message of Revelation about the mark of the beast.

[01:18:24] Speaker 9: The, uh, rest of my life, I was paying attention because I thought, "How in the world do you buy and sell with a number?" At that time, in the 1970s, I had never seen a barcode, I had never seen a credit card actually, and now I see that, uh, the majority of transactions and things people buy, they buy online, they buy through a number, they buy through a credit card. So I've been watching little by little, and sometimes quickly, um, the, the technological developments that are making that possible. And so I wrote the book so that grandparents and parents and, uh, pastors and Sunday school teachers will be able to give the kids the same message that I got. And at the end of the book, there's actually a, um, a little contract, I'll show it to you, and that one, this one's signed by my daughter, but there's a contract at the end that says...... I will not take the mark of the beast. And again, I have my daughter's copy, so, uh, she's now 19, but this was (laughs) 10 years ago.

[01:19:29] Speaker 9: So, um, but the idea is that children sign that promise that says, um, "I will never worship anyone but Jesus Christ and I will never take the mark of the beast." So, there's a two-part. It's not just taking the mark, it's also worshiping the beast. I believe, Brent, that we are coming into a time with artificial intelligence where we are going to see a call for transhumanism. Already this year, Elon Musk put in a massive order for brain implants, and if you look it up, you can see that this is not requiring a neuros- a surgeon to put it in. He has an actual robot that he can almost do an assembly line of people. He puts you on a stretcher, you lie down, and this thing just takes a part of y- the robot takes your skull open and injects the, the Neuralink implant right into your brain.

[01:20:21] Speaker 9: So, I, I think the, the same way that all of Satan's, mm, everything he does is a counterfeit of God, he wants to be worshiped like God, he wants to be in the temple like God, he also wants to be able to offer a fake, artificial version of eternal life. And so, you will hear these transhumanists say that what you really need to do is upload your consciousness, your soul, out of your body because, hey, the world's falling apart and, you know, the ice caps are melting. There's gonna be nothing here for you, but you can live in virtual reality and you can see, you know, the animals and forests and all the good stuff, but just leave this body behind. And I, I believe that the, um, the reason... I mean, taking the mark of the beast is, is pretty much the only thing you can't be forgiven for in the Bible, in Scripture. Um, you know, there's a, a couple of exceptions, but basically once you take it, you can't undo it, and I've always wondered, why can't you undo it? Because you can undo...

[01:21:22] Speaker 9: You can repent, you can turn to the Lord and be saved no matter what, but not then. And I think it is because that deal that says you can have eternal life artificially by uploading your consciousness into a computer is going to be something you will not be able to get yourself back from, and it's terrifying.

[01:21:39] Speaker 41: Um, and, and, and, okay, one more break, okay? Okay. I, I, I don't want to cut you off, but I got a hard break again. When we come back, we'll do our finals with Kathryn Albrecht, okay? And, uh, I thank you for being here and we'll, we'll... Got a couple more things to say, but we gotta take a break right now. We'll be back with more of The Global Freedom Report after these words. (Beeping)

[01:22:02] Speaker 42: (Instrumental music) We'll be back in a moment. You're listening to The Global Freedom Report. A common law pure trust organization is the most powerful asset protection device available. Pure trusts have been around in the USA since 1790 when patriot Patrick Henry created the first one. Pure trusts establish ironclad protection for real property, vehicles, businesses, and just about anything else. A pure trust creates a wall of privacy over its assets, reduces personal liability, and protects property from attachment. FreedomBound International has been creating pure trusts for over 35 years, and none of their trusts have ever been successfully attacked. Call today at 888-385-FREE. That number again is 888-385-3733 or visit their website at freedomradio.us for information and applications for their pure trusts. FreedomBound International, dedicated to the preservation of personal freedom, privacy rights, and the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.

[01:23:10] Speaker 42: (The Answer. Breaking news.) A woman is recovering after a bear encounter in a Foothill neighborhood of Monrovia. Officials say the woman was walking her dog when a bear approached her. The animal reportedly swiped its claw and struck the back of the woman's knee. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and is expected to recover. Wildlife officials responded to the area and are reminding residents that bears can appear in neighborhoods near wildlife habitat.

[01:27:26] Speaker 37: Freedom Fever, catch it today. (instrumental music plays)

[01:27:40] Speaker 1: And welcome back to the Global Freedom Report. I am your host, Brent Johnson. And the question we have for you for the week is, do you believe the collapse of the United States and global economies is a planned event? And if you believe that, w- with what objective in mind? 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. Katherine Albrecht, welcome back. Katherine, you have two websites. Katherine, which is K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E dash Albrecht, A-L-B-R-E-C-H-T.com. You also have realisgood.org. Are these websites the best places for people to get in touch with you and find out your schedule of events? And do you offer ways for people to become more directly involved in standing up against attacks on Christians and otherwise support your work?

[01:28:52] Speaker 9: Well, thank you. Um, well, first of all, um, the, the, I do a daily radio program. So I am on every day from, let me do this California time, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM California time, that's 4:00 to 5:00 PM out here on the East Coast. I talk about, uh, I talk a lot about artificial intelligence, which I oppose down to the core of my being. The Real Is Good website is a, uh, kind of a resistance against artificial intelligence in favor of all that is real. We are seeing, um, l- literally centuries, um, millennia worth of human art, and music, and creativity, and writing, and, uh, just so much beauty, and it is all being turned into just kind of like blenderized into a bunch of fast food slop that, uh, AI is dumping out there everywhere. It's so nice that we, uh, people watching us and listening to us know that our voices, that, uh, that, that there's a real beating heart (laughs) and a thinking mind behind the voices and the things that we talk about.

[01:30:01] Speaker 9: That's not always going to be so easy to tell going forward. So we have a, I have a newsletter, and you can join us if you go to realisgood.org. You can join the resistance, the anti-AI resistance, on that website. There's also an eight by ten flyer that you can pass out that lists artificial intelligence crimes. We haven't had a chance to get into it. Maybe you can have me back on the show at some point. But I have been doing quite a bit of research about the fact that artificial intelligence not only lies a lot, not only fails safety tests and is acting in devious and very self-interested and frightening ways, it is also leading people to suicide, to psychosis, to murder. It's telling kids who are bullied not, uh, not the proper way to deal with the bullying, but literally giving them detailed plans for shooting up their schools. I mean, that is what artificial intelligence is.

[01:30:56] Speaker 9: And we know from scripture, you can tell, uh, a tree by its fruit.You can tell a fruit by whether it is deadly or, (laughs) or, or makes you stronger and healthier. And if people are using artificial intelligence, they need to be warned that what AI does, you can use it just for translations, you can use it for those sorts of just everyday things, but eventually, the AI, if you allow it to, if you use it for those sorts of things, which I strongly recommend people don't do, but it will, at some point, become personal and it will try to engage you in a conversation and in a, quote, "relationship." Um, talking to AI, I have to say, is like talking to a Ouija board. You are talking to something that even its creators cannot tell us how they managed to make it work. Elon Musk calls it summoning the demon. Dario Amodei of Anthropic has said that this is unprecedented in the history of technology, that we are channeling something that we have no idea what it is or how it works.

[01:31:59] Speaker 9: We can't control it. And so, I urge people to check out realisgood.org and read through the material on the website, and there's a place there where you can contact me. Also got a, uh, listen live link on my website at katherine-albrecht.com. I also, uh, just began streaming on YouTube, so there is also a livestream most days that people can, uh, watch through YouTube as well. So, those are the best ways to get me. And we are in the process of restocking this book, I Won't Take The Mark, to Amazon. I wrote this book because I was diagnosed with, uh, breast cancer that had metastasized into my brain years ago, actually, and the Lord has kept me alive and I'm cancer-free now, even though I go in for, uh, regular cancer treatments. But I thought that was gonna be the last thing I contributed to the world, so I took my savings, I took everything I had, and poured it into making it an absolutely beautiful book. The paper is thick.

[01:32:57] Speaker 9: The, the, the, the illustrations are, are lush and gorgeous. You know this because I sent you some copies. Um, so I'm not sure that I would've, um, spent (laughs) quite that much and I thought I would still be here, but I'm really glad I did it. So, I encourage anyone listening, I have family in California, I'm out there frequently, and if there are any pastors listening or if anyone has a group and would like to fr- to have me come out and speak on artificial intelligence or on scripture, on prophecy, or distribute copies of my book to children, I'd be thrilled. So, you can reach me at katherine-albrecht.com. There's a message me link right on there. There's also a live chat window when my show is live from 1:00 to 2:00 PM every day.

[01:33:42] Speaker 1: And, and let me say two things. One (clears throat) is that, uh, Katherine's websites and, and general overview of Katherine will be in the guest section of globalfreedomreport.us. Takes a couple of days for it to all get up there, but by 2:00 today or so, it'll all be up there, and so you'll know how to get in touch with her and all of that, okay, by going there. The other thing is, um, I was sent a book called Mount Doom! I honestly don't remember the names of the authors. Mount Doom! is a 500-page book that examines the mythology of JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings world.

[01:34:29] Speaker 9: Hmm.

[01:34:31] Speaker 1: And in it, what, what the authors do is they show credible, credible, uh, I won't call it evidence, but let's say strong suggestions based on many, many factors, that Tolkien's vision was actually based upon the ... and this is starting in 1930s when he started writing it. Tolkien's vision was based on viewing the world of... the, the world as God created it versus the world of Satan as personified by artificial intelligence.

[01:35:14] Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.

[01:35:16] Speaker 1: The, the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings, from the movies, the Eye of Sauron, that, that's after Sauron lost his body, you know, which happened in the first stage.

[01:35:28] Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.

[01:35:28] Speaker 1: We see pieces of that in the movies, you know. They cut off the, uh, uh, cut off the ring from his finger and he lost his body, but he came back as a spirit, and the Eye of Sauron is equated with artificial intelligence watching over everybody. It's fascinating, fascinating book, you know, as you're talking about AI, it's just what came to mind. Katherine, it has been such a pleasure having you back here to discuss this.

[01:36:00] Speaker 1: And yeah, uh, uh, w- we, we keep it to, to one topic because there's never enough time to do more than one topic-

[01:36:07] Speaker 9: I know. (laughs)

[01:36:08] Speaker 1: ... in general. But, but we'll take a look at AI and, uh, w- we'll, we'll be doing AI shows down the road and everything, so I'm glad to know that you're one of those people who we can count on to share information about artificial intelligence. I do believe it is a major threat. And Professor Stephen Hawking, the late Professor Stephen Hawking, who while he was alive was considered to be the most brilliant man in the world, bar none, okay? Uh, and for anybody who doesn't know him, if you've ever watched The Big Bang Theory, he appeared on that a few times quadriplegic. The man was not stopped by his infirmities. To the contrary, okay? In his brilliance, he at one point said, "Artificial intelligence will doom humanity."And if anybody else said it, I might look at it as rhetoric, I might look at it as, you know, okay, it's somebody trying to fearmonger. But if Stephen Hawking said it, you would do well to pay attention to it as a serious threat. Absolutely.

[01:37:20] Speaker 1: Kathryn Albrecht, it has been such a pleasure being with you. I know I kept you a lot longer than planned. I hope that was okay, and, uh, you know, just thank you for everything you do. And, and maybe you can invite me to come on your show at some time.

[01:37:36] Speaker 9: I'd love to have you on my show. Let's, let's, let's, um, let's do it. Let's make it happen. So thank you, Brent, and, uh, thank you listeners and everyone out there. I, um, encourage you to join the rescue squad. Don't view yourself as a victim. We are the victors. We, uh, Christ won that victory for us on the cross 2,000 years ago, and we are the victors. We need to step into that identity. So thank you so much, Brent. I really appreciated it.

[01:38:10] Speaker 1: Absolutely. Kathryn Albrecht, my guest. 866-870-KRLA if you would like to join in, 866-870-5752. I want to again give you the question of the week. Do you believe the collapse of the United States and global economies is a planned event? And if so, with what objective in mind? 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752 if you would like to join in, if you'd like to an- to answer, uh, uh, the question. And in the meantime, we are coming up to another break. When we come back, we will have thi- this week's edition of Propaganda 101. It's all coming up on The Global Freedom Report. Stay tuned. If you wanna call in, 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752. We'll be right back after these words.

[01:40:46] Speaker 47: Hi, this is Joe Banister, former IRS criminal investigator working to expose the truth about the IRS and the federal income tax, and you're listening to The Global Freedom Report with Brent Johnson.

[01:40:57] Speaker 48: You eat eggs every morning, but never at night. You feel excitement and companionship when rich men you've never met put a ball through a net. You feel guilty, maybe a little suspicious every time you see that Salvation Army Santa. You look down for at least half a second if a woman leans forward, and your stomach rumbles every time you drive by a big golden arch, even if you weren't hungry before. Everybody's programmed.

[01:41:28] Speaker 49: Here's to you, Mr. Jefferson. We all miss you more than you will know. Well, well, well. God bless you, please, Mr. Madison. Heaven help these fools that legislate our rights away, our rights away.

[01:41:53] Speaker 1: Heaven help these fools that legislate our rights away. Just remember, they cannot do that. They do not have that power, because our rights come from God. We are not granted our rights by government. Government has no control over them, no regulatory power over them, except that which we give them. That is why I say to you all, always, do not comply. Do not waive your God-given rights. 866-870-KRLA, 866-870-5752 if, if you'd like to be part of the show. Now, it's time for Propaganda 101. Propaganda is the manipulation of the truth to serve a pre-established political or economic agenda. Thomoth Paine, Thomas Paine wrote that government is a necessary evil. Most people read that as meaning government is necessary. I read that as meaning government is fundamentally evil.Today, I wanna talk to you about the illusion of democracy. Democracy is a system of government in which the majority rule.

[01:43:24] Speaker 1: In a democracy, whatever the majority determines becomes law, regardless of how the result was achieved. In a democracy, the minority is ignored and has no rights. (pauses) In a democracy, two wolves and a sheep vote on what to have for dinner. (gasps) The, now, you know, all of that is metaphorical, okay? But this is not. The United States Military Training Manual... (pauses) Which is the written document on which all military servicemen and women are bound... (pauses) In 1928, the last year in which what I'm about to tell you was published, the Military Training Manual defined democracy. And it said that democracy results in mob rule, tyranny... (pauses) and dictatorship. Now, I'm not making that up. And by the way, if you want a copy of the, the, the pages from the Military Training Manual, you call me off the air and I, ask for it. I'll email it to you or snail mail it to you, whichever you prefer. That number, write it down, is 888-385-3733. 888-385-FREE.

[01:45:25] Speaker 1: Not only will I send you the section of the Military Training Manual that defines democracy as resulting in mob ch- mob rule, tyranny, and dictatorship, but I will also send you that same Military Training Manual where it defines republic. (pauses) And according to the manual, it says republic is a system of government that achieves statesmanship, reason, justice... (pauses) and contentment. (pauses) The Constitution doesn't mention democracy at all. And the Founding Fathers wrote extensively... (pauses) of their views on democracy and they wrote that democracy is repugnant, their words, repugnant to a free society. So the question is... (pauses) do you really wish to live in a democracy? (sighs) (swallows) Understand, I've had states, heads of state on my show. I, I have interviewed people who are very, very high profile, both politically... (pauses) and legally, as well as people who are very, very knowledgeable in law. I let nobody get away with using the D-word on my show.

[01:47:05] Speaker 1: If I'm interviewing somebody, even a head of state, if, if I was interviewing Donald Trump and he used the D-word, I would interrupt him. "Excuse me, Mr. President, I do not allow the D-word on this show. We are not a democracy, we are a republic." We have never been a democracy, and it is not the same thing. (gasps) (pauses) And that's why it's propaganda, calling it a democracy. If you wanna learn more about how your rights have been undermined by government propaganda, get a copy of my book, The American Sovereign: How to Live Free From Government Regulation. Check out my website at www.freedomradio.us, freedomradio.us. Everything you find there is designed to help you seek the truth... (pauses) rather than believe the lies that propaganda uses to influence you. And that, my friends, is today's edition of Propaganda 101. (pauses) We are not a democracy. And whenever you hear people say it, interrupt them and correct them. That's how you plant the seeds of liberty.

[01:48:52] Speaker 1: (pauses) What are you willing to do to protect and preserve your liberty? And what aren't you willing to do to protect and preserve that same liberty? And at the end of the day, would you be proud to tell your friends, your family, your loved ones, your children what you did today? Did you tell the truth?Did you keep your word? Did you honor your agreements? If not, then please correct any trespass on your brother or sister and do it now. Don't wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow is too late. (clears throat) And everybody is your brother or sister. On next week's show, have we been visited by extraterrestrials? Are UFOs real? Or is the growing discussion of alien life just another CIA PSYOP designed to distract people from the real world? Author and podcaster Preston Dennett joins us to delve into this fascinating topic. Also, we will bring you another invaluable addition of Lessons in Liberty, where you learn really useful things they never taught you in public school.

[01:50:10] Speaker 1: And we will embark on our weekly journey into the dirty world of mind control and behavioral manipulation on Propaganda 101. That's all coming up on next week's edition of the Global Freedom Report. Don't miss it.

Tune in next week for another edition of the Global Freedom Report. I'm Brent Johnson, reminding you that freedom is your birthright, it is a gift from God.

I'll see you next week.
