News in before you throw your hands up and say them again take a listen that report indicates we are in fact in our last days as a civilization in America not the world but these United States they gathered a panel of academics sociologists and other experts. Those professionals said America is unrecognizable
And heading for a collapse now here’s what we know to be fact experts have been sounding off warnings about global warming the economy toxic politics and worship war in the past we have seen the disappearance of the Roman Empire the Gyptian implied the Aztecs. And many more great civilizations that are no longer
Around are we on the path to self destruction or is this. Is this the right wing propaganda that it could be let’s take a look at their report on fox news . There’s some days I wake up and read the news and look around me and say. I don’t recognize this country anymore.
We’re in a very bizarre and unprecedented situation in our civilization today which is. We are turning on our own legacy. And declaring it. Evil. Massive . Without any redeeming characteristics. I’m extremely worried about the state of the nation it’s especially true when you have kids as I do. Kind of
Country I want them to live and is not the country that we have now and not the country that we’re going into. The United States in the nineteen eighties has pretty much vanished we’re now entering a new period of unprecedented economic and social and cultural change. And our experts are here on the
Factor on since it we have doctors Dietrich von beaten fellow Dr David Branham a W. to Robertson here from the university of Houston downtown to talk about this so first of all I said you guys that report. What’s your opinion on it do you think is right wing propaganda
Or what we could be headed down that path as a country doctor rob’s let’s begin with you well I really appreciate your question- but I’d like to new wants a little a little bit. It is both possible and I believe that this is both right wing
Propaganda a in the U. S. is in a moment of international decline- the fox news report is primarily focused on cultural issues. That we are not the America of the nineteen eighties you know the good old days in great One Reaganomics what allow black people to go poor or you
Can just grab any black man off the street and frisk him and arrest him for no. Reason whatsoever those days yes are officially over and we’re really glad that they are over however internationally we do have to think about. The rise of China and the economic arm enterprise
That they are engaged in in Africa and Central America we do have to think about our politics. In the way it’s become toxic so I think culturally we are moving in the right direction we are becoming a more inclusive society and that’s why we’re seeing a lot of the white
Right wing propaganda. Are offering us the straw these are strong me and I in order to scare us back into the old lines of thinking. Dr David Branham your thoughts on the report. And also would we stand. In country right now. Well of I agree with virus first since Indian I
Started kinda decline on the agreement after awhile but- actor. Because it’s true I think it’s both the it’s a right wing propaganda and it’s some reality here. And I think it’s something we need to watch out for. I mean the big issue to me in this country is our incredible
Spending. That we do. In the federal government were thirty one trillion dollars in debt. If you don’t know what thirty one trillion dollars is it’s almost one hundred thousand dollars for every man woman and child in this country we are in trouble economically. And so I am concerned about that I’m
Concerned about my children how you body and I were talking about our kids when we walked in. We worry about our kids all time in our kids are doing very well the average person though Dr Brenda would say what we the United States why can’t we just print more money. You can print
More money but that means the money’s worth less and if you print money star lose an- economic. Viability when you do it. And I’d flood rather Dietrich because that’s kind of his area right there financial expert but yeah but- but that’s that’s the case you can print
Out more money if you want that measles dollars a worthless. And you’re gonna have inflation problems and you’re going to you’re gonna lose your credibility in with your currency when you do that. Okay Dr of on being so let’s bring you into this conversation and also let’s take into consideration. The just how
Delicate is world is when we just had the pandemic. How things were teetering on the edge you know you could no longer get new cars as a result of chips not being available- many of the supply and demand the supply and demand chain- out was. It there was an
Interference with that so your thoughts first of all on this report. And number two is possible that the United States could collapse and one day. Well we know that sensationalism sells and so I think the report is new once and Dr Roberts and mention this. Out the emphasis
On the eighties we had other periods of economic strength and we had just a couple years ago some of the greatest year. Long gains in our economy five point 7% GDP growth so. In that sense the eighties work as magical as some people would like them to believe but when you think about
The birth of a nation or tribe for the will- they’re great ways that media can. Promote certain agendas and so. Emphasizing homelessness or housing crises to essentially some in some senses look at minority since say. The nation isn’t exactly what used to be- is probably a little bit more problematic than
Factual but- as far as the client I think we’ve seen evolutions because- you can still go to Rome today. It’s not as if it was wiped off the planet you can still go to instable you can still visit Syria. So these great puts you want. But we cannot allow. The
Ruins of America. Wanted to be here we wanted to thrive and just like our language so I think our culture is where the most adaptable. Ever in history and so we have seen recessions depressions. And even as the global economy suffered we still did better than everyone else.
China is suffering with pork and other agricultural problems there are biggest threat but they can’t even feed their own country they import most of their food and agricultural products. We have very wealthy- agricultural and natural resources as well as our intellectual capital. And we keep bringing in immigrants so
As long as we keep bringing in that new blood to fuel our growth. I don’t think we’re ever going to see the rebel Tory- that last book of the Bible. In times that people are talking about with buyers and brimstone. Yeah not to mention Isaiah the question becomes. What do they
Imagine as the end of the war world. Is it are they have. Of the end of America dominance when we are no longer the cultural- military hegemon that we’ve always. Been in the world well that was unsustainable right and having military bases everywhere entering every skirmish then we could find a
Reason to getting in was not a sustainable. Way odd to live as a nation and so now we are much more a bilateral we have to into into more agreements with other nations. And so again I find the Fox News report deeply problematic overly sensational because the purpose actually is
The star white America into a frenzy. So that we can now justify more oppression in more of the- the cruelty that is often a part of our American histor And welcome back to the factor on sensors guides there are a lot of mitigating factors that could impact or could cause the
Collapse of the world we’re talking about this Fox news report and is it likely now we recently heard from it might not recently in seventy three in my T. did a report indicating that the collapse the into the world could got not the of the world like apocalyptic but- could come
In twenty forty any believe in that report you’re talking about MIT and they KPMG came back and said there right. It could come even sooner a lot of these reports are based on static information and so if you live in a vacuum and you never of all over you never transition your
Technology or resources or even your utilization in consumption then yeah okay that could happen but even as we look at climate to logical shifts that have happened throughout the millennia we know that we’ve started to increase our production capacity we started to change your dietary patterns. I’m I’m still eating steak every
Other night but that’s probably because somebody seven toe foot so I appreciate their sacrifice- there’s only so much agrarian land and so we’ve also created structures were instead of spreading out. Were more efficiently using water more efficiently using those tools and technology and so while we have those concerns I don’t
Believe that they can be measured out once we realize that how adaptable and how resilient the human nature is could technology be our saving grace stop Robinson. I think so in in a sense we are becoming as our brother beautifully- explained we are becoming more efficient and more effective.
And I think we’re becoming much more aware- and so I think that knowledge he is at the heart of. A future understanding of ourselves however I don’t think it can save us. We want our patterns of capitalism of consumerism and of mass consumption are just unsustainable we now have more
People on earth than we’ve ever had before. And so we have to think about how do we live in a world that has a limited amount of resources in now opportunity. And yet we are increasing the number of lives the needs to sustain so technology is going
To take us a long way but we equally have to make a fundamental mind shift we got to change the way that we- our relationship with nature and the world. In order for us to be back in harmony. And Dr Branham this is your area of expertise how dangerous can be. How
Dangerous can politics be. It late in in and cause could cause the collapse of a civilization definitely anytime you talk about technology technology can kill Saul. It into it and it’s getting better a killing us all may you look you look at the you know the Ukraine war. Russia it
Can throw a hypersonic missile in there and do incredible damage and that’s that’s that’s a type of weapon. That can destroy civilization very quickly not to mention the nuclear war war Hey isn’t so forth that we have so our technology could be what actually destroys listen so.
When it comes right down to it we have to be responsible. Everybody has to be responsible if a nation is going to survive . You have to have respect for differences of opinion you have to have that respect. And we are losing that we are we are losing
That in this nation week I’ll beat it you see so much of it of being words the news organizations are you know trying to. Cheerleader yes absolutely and try to rile I mean. By just talking about they’re trying to rile the bill the right wing well. You know
CNN MSNBC they’re trying to rile up the left wing and that emotion gets people going and they see that but it devices. And we need to have respect for each other regardless of IBM there was a point in this country where all people. Were talking about was politics and they took political lines
Instead of being your neighbor or someone you’re just having a disagreement with. You know it becomes political all the time it doesn’t you know. If you have if you. Can’t deal with somebody who disagrees with you. Then you have a problem as a citizen of a country and you can’t be a
Citizen of the country. Unless you can get along with those who disagree with you and the best thing you can do is actually let those they disagree with you educate you on some way. Both sides can get educating both sides can’t sell it I think it’s important somewhere along the
Line. For some leadership to come forward in the country and say look. We’re going to work we’re not gonna play this game anymore we’re going to have. Love for our country and we’re gonna start respecting each other edoxaban been filled before we wrap up here we have but but thirty seconds left. Can
We be too. Arrogant as a society and it cost us in the- 100% and we’re saying this with the mention of earning money without a gold standard there is it the becomes worthless because it has no tangible value. So we definitely can see this humorous- be the pride before
The fall as we don’t take our enemies seriously and the idea over one loves us. Not everyone loves us. Our we want to thank you all for here the thinkers of mines. On factor on it didn’t dole my- with
