Walker Wildman: Welcome back to the Corps on American Family Radio

Welcome back to the Core here on American Family Radio for a new week of the Core. Glad to have you with us. I'm, Walker Wildmon here on once again on American Family Radio. The show is hosted each week by myself and Rick Greene and it is good to be with you live on this edition of the program. Well we're going to have a content filled first and second segment and then our last segment we'll have a guest visiting with us, to talk about the topic of ptsd, otherwise known as a post traumatic stress disorder. also the epidemic of trauma, anxiety and neurological health going on in our culture today. We'll have Dr. Eugene Lipoff with us, who's a physician, researcher in this field. And we're going to be breaking that all down and talking about, what is going on in that arena from a medical standpoint.

Stephen displays tremendous courage by speaking truth to authority that ultimately had him murdered

but for now let's turn our attention to Acts chapter seven. We're working our way through Acts one, chapter at a time, a couple verses each week, from each chapter as we move through. So Acts chapter seven. The setup here, the context is Steven giving a speech to the Sanhedrin, to the Jewish leaders, and telling them about how they've long rejected, the Holy Spirit, long rejected the Messiah, even though, the Messiah was prophesied throughout the Old Testament, which would have been the Jewish scriptures. And towards the end here you have the ultimate martyrdom of Steven. And so I want to read just a passage here about how Steven handles this. his murder, his martyrdom, his stoning. And it says that and they cast him out of the city. Talking about Steven. They stoned him. This is verse 58 and witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. This is, later to become the APostle Paul, verse 59. And they stoned Steven as he was calling on God and saying, lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, lord, do not charge them with the sin. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. So here, obviously, Steven displays tremendous courage by speaking truth to authority and truth that ultimately had him killed, had him murdered. but, Steven went out and went into eternity, with a great level of peace and confidence that he was doing the right thing and that the Lord, was anointing his work and his teachings. And so we can take a bit of encouragement, from Steven's courage and his conviction and the manner in which he carried out and ultimately ended his ministry on the earth. That's Acts, chapter seven. Looking at the last few verses of the chapter there.

President Trump was interviewed by NBC's Kristen Welker about his economic policies

Alright, well let's jump into some of the news. I want to get to this segment. this is going to be, we'll open this up now and then we'll try to wrap it up in the next segment. But President Trump sat down with NBC's Christian Welker for this, what was going to be a pretty lengthy interview as President Trump travels the country and speaks to the public about his economic policies. But this was a, this was a very unpleasant interview and you're going to get a sense of why. But the perpetual interrupting, the perpetual fact checking, so called fact checking by Welker was just outright obnoxious. And President Trump finally has enough of it. And the end of this interview you'll hear here, in the next segment when we have time for it. But just to set this up, by the way, these are pretty lengthy clips. We're looking at a four minute clip on the front end. And then when we come back in the next segment, I'll play about a two minute clip to wrap it up. And this isn't the entirety of the interview, but these are the, these are the minutes, the six minutes leading up to President Trump ending this interview.

President Trump backs off anti-weaponization fund amid opposition from Democrats

All right, so let's listen to the front end here. The topic that Welker kept going back to is this weaponization fund within the Department of Justice that is aimed at paying out settlements for those whether it be January six or otherwise or pro lifers that were victimized relentlessly by the Biden administration. And Kristin Welker just can't drop this subject. And it gets a, ah, pretty heated back and forth with President Trump. This is about a four minute clip of President Trump and NBC's Kristin Welker sitting down for an interview over the weekend on NBC.

>> Kristen Welker: Clip 1:8 billion so called anti weaponization fund. It was going to compensate people who say the federal government weaponized the legal system against them. It's been blocked by the courts. Met with opposition from Republicans and Democrats in Congress. And Democrats.

>> Donald Trump: Mostly Democrats.

>> Kristen Welker: Some Democrats and some Republicans.

>> Donald Trump: Very few Republicans.

>> Kristen Welker: Just to be very clear, are you backing off the fund completely, as your acting Attorney General, Todd Blanch has said, or are you looking for another avenue to revise?

>> Donald Trump: Let me explain what the fund is. People have been hurt so badly by radical left lunatics that worked for the Biden administration and Sleepy Joe. They're vicious, they're violent. What they did to people. And of course, they went after me more than anybody else. They raided Mar A Lago and all the other things. But people have been badly hurt. They've committed suicide. They've lost their jobs, they've lost their families, they've lost their wives. They've lost everything. They've lost everything over a fake weaponization of government. Now, let me just tell you for

>> Kristen Welker: a way to revive it.

>> Donald Trump: Well, look, it was up to me. I'd pay them the kind of money that they deserve. People have been destroyed. Lives have been destroyed. Many suicides. Think of it. People have committed suicide because a bunch of thugs went after them. So me personally, I think the weaponization fund is a great idea, and so do many other Republicans. You have to get it approved. If they get it approved, that's great. If they don't get it approved, I'd be disappointed.

>> Kristen Welker: All right, we're going to motor through this.

>> Donald Trump: but you have to understand, people have. This have been destroyed by crooked politicians, and they should be reimbursed for that.

>> Kristen Welker: Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on January 6 should get taxpayer money?

>> Donald Trump: I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it. I can tell you this. 97% of those people, you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was, because you had a lot of crooked cops. You had dirty cops. Comey was a dirty cop. Well, there's a guy like Bolton was a dirty cop.

>> Kristen Welker: No evidence.

>> Donald Trump: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, you think Comey was a straight

>> Kristen Welker: people who pleaded guilty to assaulting police?

>> Donald Trump: Comey was a dirty cop.

>> Walker Wildmon: No, no.

>> Donald Trump: They had FBI. Listen to me. They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI, go into the building. Those people walking around, they're looking always in this thing. They weren't. And they were being ushered into the building.

>> Kristen Welker: There's no evidence.

>> Donald Trump: You had a bunch of dirty cops. And frankly, what they did was weaponization

>> Kristen Welker: of our government, sir, there's, there's no evidence of that. More than a thousand?

>> Donald Trump: No. Well, yeah, no, there's none. You know what to do? Try looking at the tapes one time.

>> Kristen Welker: Would you take it.

>> Donald Trump: Look at the tapes one time.

>> Kristen Welker: But 172 people did plead guilty to assaulting police officers.

>> Donald Trump: You know why they pled guilty? Because they told them going to jail for 15 years if they didn't, should they. They pled guilty because they were frightened. They went down, they were ushered into a building. Many of them were arrested without even going into the building.

>> Kristen Welker: Receiving taxpayer dollars.

>> Donald Trump: The people were destroyed by dirty cops and by weaponization. Many of those people should be compensated. Now, with that being said, the, as I understand it, the weaponization fund was going to set up a group of people, people that could be picked up by anybody. Fair people, smart people, and they will go on an individual case basis.

>> Kristen Welker: Okay?

>> Donald Trump: Now, I don't know what's going to happen with the weaponization fund. I love the idea because people like you, the fake dirty press, the crooked press, people like stupid Biden, he's not smart enough to know what's going on, but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful Resolute desk in the Oval Office. What they did to the lives of people. They destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.

Tim Wildman: I fully support the weaponization fund

>> Walker Wildmon: Well, there you have it. That's about four minutes of Kristin Walker just absolutely unable to move on from the, from the subject. And it, it, it. This is not as if President Trump just wanted to talk about the weaponization fund. By the way, I mentioned the weaponization fund. I didn't call it that, but I mentioned the likes of the weaponization fund a couple years ago between the, President Trump winning the 2024 election and the inauguration and the early months there. I mentioned that the victims of the Biden administration need to be compensated through Department of Justice settlements. I mentioned that specifically because this is a brilliant idea. You had hundreds of people, as far as the severe prosecution and overreach of the federal government, you had hundreds of individuals and families utterly destroyed because the Biden DOJ was bent on punishing as many people as possible that showed up on January 6th. And when you look at the number of actual, the number of acts of violence against law enforcement or anyone else on January 6th, very small number. You had tens of thousands of people there. You had a very small number of people that actually did anything violent, whether it be property damage or getting in a scuffle with law enforcement. Very few numbers. Probably probably when you look at people who intentionally targeted police, you're probably looking at less, than 10. Now, you want to talk about scuffles with law enforcement in the crowds, maybe dozens, maybe thousands of people there. And then you had the incompetent Capitol police ushering people in. And then FBI, dozens of assets, over 70 assets and personnel on the ground in the crowd doing what effectively nothing to stop them from going into the Capitol. So this whole thing was brought to you by Nancy Pelosi. And the people that had been victimized had their, their livelihoods, their families, their marriages destroyed, should be compensated for this horrendous overreach of the doj. I fully support the weaponization fund. Right now. The voices in our culture are loud, but truth is often silent. And today, preborns need you to help speak that truth. Women facing unplanned pregnancies are often pressured to act quickly before they have time to pause, breathe, or, hear the truth about life, dignity, and hope. But I refuse to be silent, and I'm asking you to join me. At preborn network clinics, a woman is welcomed with compassion and given a free ultrasound. She sees the life growing inside her, often for the very first time. And in that sacred moment, fear gives way to clarity. And she's offered something abortion industry will never provide. The hope of Jesus Christ. This April, our goal is to have 11,000 gospel conversations in preborn network clinics, trusting God to bring the increase as we remain faithful to speech. You can help make that possible by sponsoring ultrasounds. Just $28 provides one ultrasound, and $140 provides five free ultrasounds for mothers in crisis. Every dollar helps save babies and share the hope of the gospel. To donate, dial £250 and say the keyword baby. That's £250 and say the keyword baby. Or visit preborn.comafr that's preborn.com

President Trump defended the idea of a weaponization fund for victims of DOJ targeting

Welcome back to the Core here on American Family Radio. Well, President Trump defended, thankfully, he defended the idea, of a weaponization fund to pay those that were victimized by the Biden Department of Justice. And I'm fully supportive of this weaponization fund, by the way, because this is how lawfare works. And by the way, I think that President Trump, would be eligible for compensation himself, even though he doesn't need the money. But as far as the weaponization of the federal government, President Trump would likely qualify, for, compensation, for reimbursement, if you will, or for restitution. And here's the essence of it. This is why the Marxist and the left in our country are making any headway, any momentum when it comes to, the work that we're doing. And that is because they use the full weight of the federal government and every single agency and institution that they preside over to make our lives as miserable as they can. Now, I'm not suggesting they succeed on all occasions because, they're not going to make my life miserable. But I can tell you this much specifically surrounding January 6th. There's two main incidents here, January 6th and the Pro Life Movement. Those were the two main target groups, if you will, that the Biden FBI and DOJ specifically targeted. And let's not forget President Biden, whether he knew it or not, specifically sent a memo to the Department of Justice telling them to target pro lifers. Now, he called it something else and used, probably used the word reproductive because that's what they do, even though they're really not about reproduction, because they're leading a pro death culture. So you can't, you can't throw around the word reproduction in your vocabulary when you are explicitly pro death. Okay, unless you say we're anti reproduction. But nonetheless, he called it some reproductive rights, blah, blah, blah. But in essence, President Biden sent a memo to the doj. This is all documented, by the way, telling them to set up a task force to go after pro lifers. That's the essence of it. And what did they do? The Biden DOJ said yes, sir. To Biden. And they went, not just door knocking, they went door busting on pro lifers. And this is how you get Mark Hauck. This is how you get, the dozens of mostly Christian and all pro lifers targeted by the Biden doj. And back to this kind of targeting. This is what they do. They legally harass people into bankruptcy. And when you harass people into bankruptcy, what happens next? Well, they lose their jobs, their marriages begin to have problems. It destroys people's lives for all practical purposes. And so the idea of a weaponization fund is to compensate people, pay them for the damage done to them. And this is done every day, by the way. This is done every day. And as a matter of fact, the DOJ already, and the federal government already operates various damages funds. They have money for this. The federal government occasionally settles lawsuits and they pay people. All right, so this is not unusual, out of the ordinary. This is pretty standard stuff. And the Biden DOJ, targeting, whether it be January 6th or otherwise, the Biden DOJ targeting was so broad that they were sweeping up phone calls and text messages of US Lawmakers, Republican lawmakers. And this really goes, well, this goes back way before Biden. This even goes back to the final months of the Biden of the Obama administration, when the, when the Obama administration launched the so called Russia investigation back in 2016. 2017, really, 2016, that also had its own victims, its own people that were targeted and lives destroyed on that witch hunt. And so President Trump stuck with it. Thankfully, he defended the weaponization fund. And I'm not even sure we really need this congressionally earmarked, if you will. I think the DOJ has the money. And the fact of the matter is, as Bobby said during the break, Bobby, there's other places, to pull the money from, whether it be congressional lease, these slush funds within Congress or within the DoJ. The government has plenty of money to pull to pay the victims here.

>> Bobby Roza: Yeah, for sure. And if it's not that fund, specifically, there's several slush funds out there, that'll take care of business and get us to where we need to be to reward these people, if you will, for their lives being upset. No jurisprudence, no due, process of the law. Imprisoned for well over two years, no family contact, no contact to the outside world.

>> Walker Wildmon: they were treated like animals.

>> Bobby Roza: They would absolutely. Animals have been treated better. Just look at the commercials.

>> Walker Wildmon: Duly noted.

>> Boby Roza: But, yeah, this is a long time coming. And, you can count my vote in as second.

>> Walker Wildmon: Yeah, Absolutely. So that's what the spat was about with President Trump and Kristin Welker. And then we're going to play this one more clip. It's about a two minute clip. And then I'm going to give you my final thoughts on how to handle this in the future. Not that the President will listen to or needs my advice, but I'm going to give it anyway.

President Trump accuses the press of dishonesty about the integrity of elections

let's listen to clip two here. This is about, this gets into the dishonesty of the press and the dishonesty of these elections. Look at what's going on in California. They are still counting votes from an election that was last week. I mean, the way the Marxists are operating, their movement is blatantly, it's in your face level of corruption. And we'll talk some of that about that after the clip. But this is the wrap up and listen to how President Trump ends this interview. This is clip two.

>> Kristen Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. But this is about Todd.

>> Donald Trump: Blanche, listen to me. Let's talk about tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. it was a dirty election and it's happening again right now in California.

>> Kristen Welker: Presented evidence yesterday.

>> Donald Trump: Now in California, right now it's, look at, look at what's happening to that. It's four days doing well in California. It's, they're not, they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up.

>> Kristen Welker: That's how they, you know why they're doing that?

>> Donald Trump: Because they're cheating on the election.

>> Kristen Welker: There's. What do you have evidence to support?

>> Donald Trump: All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look and I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens.

>> Kristen Welker: Sir, that's not evidence.

>> Donald Trump: You think it's appropriate.

>> Kristen Welker: That's how they count the votes.

>> Donald Trump: You think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking.

>> Kristen Welker: Local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.

>> Donald Trump: No, they're crooked.

>> Kristen Welker: They're urging the votes to be counted. That's how they vote.

>> Donald Trump: Crooked. Just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked and beat the press is crooked.

>> Kristen Welker: To be fair, I'm not crooked.

>> Donald Trump: But let's really, when you play right into their hands.

>> Kristen Welker: Let's continue.

>> Donald Trump: You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with this. You know that these elections are rigged. Your Network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide And I got 94% bad press.

>> Kristen Welker: But, Mr. President, you know why I got that present?

>> Donald Trump: Because you have no credibility.

>> Kristen Welker: But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about. I want to talk about.

>> Donald Trump: You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Let's talk your elections. In this country, we're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked, and you're crooked. At least the press is crooked. And so is ABC And CBS and CNN, Mr. President, your one sided, crooked network. So let's call it quits, because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.

Mr. President, let's straighten out your press, please

>> Kristen Welker: Mr. President, let's, please. I traveled all the way to Wisconsin. I've sat about rain.

>> Kristen Welker: M. I know I sat in the rain with you for an hour, on

>> Donald Trump: and off in the rain. And I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest.

>> Kristen Welker: Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.

Kristen Welker tries to fact check President Trump when he says election was rigged

All right,

>> Walker Wildmon: look, folks, this is, couple things here, all right? Welker, this is not how you do journalism, all right? This is not how you do journalism. It's not the job of Kristin Welker with her notebook. She's prepped for this. She knows what question she's going to ask, all right? She's in the driver's seat here. And as good as President Trump is with the media, you can't deal with these people, all right? You can't deal with these people because, Do we really want to litigate this? Because they don't let you litigate it. Because when you're right, they change the subject or, they change the goalpost. So a couple things here. She's trying to, quote, fact check President Trump in real time, folks, when he says the election was rigged. Talking about 2020, that is not even debated anymore. It is roundly accepted that the Democrats, and by the way, the, the word rigged can be. Can apply to a lot of different areas, and it doesn't equate to criminality. It can, but just saying something is rigged doesn't equate to criminality. Okay? So they're all being so literalist. And there was criminality in 2020. But when you say the election was rigged, anybody who looks at the evidence which was presented. So Welker said, oh, it wasn't presented. Yes, it was. Kristin Welker, where have you Been. This was six years ago. What are you doing? There were multiple court jurisdictions in which the Trump campaign and the RNC and other parties presented evidence of abnormalities and cheating. And it was admitted to by multiple Democrat states that they bent the rules and broke the law in the name of COVID and voting. All right, just look it up. Look up Secretary, of State's websites, Covid provisions, voting deadlines, mail in ballots, all of those key words. What the Democrats did in the partnership with the Chinese Communist Party, who released the virus to begin with, is they used Covid to get rid of President Trump. All right, whether it was a grand conspiracy all along, I have no idea, but I'm just telling you what the end result was. The end result was the Democrats. This was within, like, weeks of COVID being announced. The Democrats were scheming on how to use Covid to. To win the election. This is why they went to all the Secretary of State's office in all the Democrat states, and they started bending the rules. And, of course, we were all, looking around with our tail tucked between our legs because we were all scared of this cold virus, and we were letting them do it, and they were taking our freedoms away, telling us we can't go to church, we can't see our dying loved ones. I mean, this was a wicked era that really hasn't been rectified yet, if, we're being honest. And so that's how they rigged the election. And then you got Mark Zuckerberg over here, by the way. Mark Zuckerberg, what he was doing, technically was legal, all right? He was ballot harvesting for the Democrats. Now, what raises questions is whether a nonprofit can ballot harvest for one party, which is what Zuckerberg was doing. Zuckerberg was in heavily blue districts with his get out the vote nonprofits, and he was ballot harvesting for the Democrats, in essence, and doing voter registration drives, et cetera. Very brilliant move, by the way. And probably mostly legal, if not all legal. And so you got the Secretaries of State bending the rules. You got them, you know, disregarding the. The postmark deadlines on the ballots. You've got dead people on the voter rol. The whole 2020 election just smelled so nasty. It was so corrupt, so messed up all the way around. Okay? And honestly, I don't really want to relate to it all, but Kristin Welker does, and that's why she kept going back to President Trump, going back to President Trump, saying, you haven't proven this. You can't prove this. The facts don't show that. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. If we were to, if we were able to sit down and of course we can't do this because we live in a sound, in a sound bite world, nobody really wants to sit down and think for themselves and actually have to debate facts because that doesn't get the clicks. But if we were actually to have a forum and sit down fairly and look at the evidence, anyone who looks at the entirety of the evidence looks at 2020 and goes, yeah, that was, that was kind of messed up. Yeah, they broke the rules, they broke the law. Shouldn't have happened. So President Trump wraps up this question Kristin Welker interview pretty abruptly and I don't blame him.

President Trump should sit down with independent media outlets

But here's my final thoughts on this. How much longer did we sit down with these folks? And it's sad that I have to say this, and looking back with the First Amendment and our founding fathers, you know, ideally we don't get to this place where we can't even talk to the so called media. But if we're being honest, these aren't true journalists. So we're not really missing out on anything. KRISTEN Welker these folks are not true journalists. So this notion that the government and the President and the Commander in Chief is just not going to talk to the press anymore, that's not what I'm suggesting. What I'm suggesting is we just don't sit down with Democrat operatives anymore. And that's what this is. Christian Walker is the Democratic operative. And through the, Russia hoax, through the entirety of the Obama and Biden era, we now know who all these people are. It's the CNNs of the world, it's the NBCs of the world, it's THE, the CBSS. A lot of these major legacy outlets, these multimillion dollar media conglomerates, most of them are in bed with the Democrat Party and some of them quite literally are. And so how much longer do you sit down and hang out with these folks and think you're going to get a fair shake? So I think President Trump needs to be sitting down with folks like American Family Radio, Newsmax, Fox and Salem and these independent true journalistic outlets. And let us give the fair shake because sitting down with the Democratic operatives just isn't working. And I don't think the President needs to waste his time anymore. Right now, the voices in our culture are loud. But truth is often silent. And today preborns need you to help speak that truth. Women facing unplanned pregnancies are often pressured to act quickly. Before they have time to pause, breathe, or, hear the truth about life, dignity and hope. But I refuse to be silent and I'm asking you to join me.

Well, tell us first before we jump into, the questions and how folks should be viewing this and your opinion on it, how did you get into this? Tell us a little bit about your background and your career and also the book that you've written on this.

>> Dr. Eugene Lipoff: Sure. So the way I got into that, my father was a flyer in World War II. He came back from the war and basically a PTSD from it, he gave to my mother and it's called secondary PTSD and took her life when I was surgical resident. So I went from surgical residency to anesthesia resonance, did an amethyst and there is a procedure that people have been doing since 1925 called Telegazion Block and interesting static circumstance. I figured out, that takes away PTSD symptoms in about five, 10 minutes. And the reason I was interested because of my mother's law. So that led me to calls of Congress talking about it. About, 15,000, four tubes have been treated by this approach by now. And this seems to work very well for posturing stress disorder. Right. It's not taking pill, not a lot of psychotherapy, Some psychotherapy is involved, but the basic principle is to reduce the fight or flight nerve. So I consider myself a biopsychologist, meaning biologically you can figure out what it is, what it's not. PTSD is a real problem and people still arguing about it. It's fucking crazy. They call it the invisible wound. It's invisible. If you have the wrong scan, you have drug scan like MRI and med scans, you actually see it. So that's kind of my position. The treatment I came up with and followed my work got great response. It saved a lot of people from suicide. So that's why I've been promoting it.

>> Walker Wildmon: When I think of ptsd, the most, the first thing that comes up is like military veterans, those who've served in active combat situations just because of the trauma associated with it. Also, men and women in law enforcement who get in altercations and have these life altering events, where they have to use deadly force. those are the most likely scenarios that I think about when, if someone were to say, you know, tell me what you think about when you think of ptsd. But there's so many other scenarios in life that can bring about these issues. So tell us kind of how this PTSD is not just related to military service. This is something that can affect anyone and everyone.

>> Dr. Eugene Lipoff: Actually the most common patients with PTSD are abused women. So if you look at the numbers, one out of three women in their lifetime have sexual assault, which is a staggering number. 10% of women in colleges have. So about half of the women will develop PTSD. Ah, you look at 1 out of 6 in general population. So it's 1 out of 6 out of 50 million people. A lot of people, military service is prevalent, but 25% of military personnel, I guess because the first responders, like police and things like that, these firefighter dispatchers, people forget about them. But I don't, but it's a very common problem. And that part attribute is carrying this ptsd, postman stress disorder. And what I'm calling now is digital ptsd, which is digital abuse of the phone. And the PTSD like symptoms. Can't sleep, people are cranky, throws on guard. All that is, is fight or flight nerves. So, you know, the last statistical show 9 to 12 year olds, which is, you know, alpha generation suicide is the number four cause of death right now, but just mind blowing to me.

Digital ptsd is what you call tethering to mobile devices at all times

>> Walker Wildmon: You just mentioned something that piqued my interest and you said digital ptsd with this tethering to the mobile device at all times, which is even I look at myself and it's pretty disturbing the amount of device and digital usage in our daily life. explain that a little more what that looks like and what are some of the side effects of what you're calling digital trauma or digital ptsd. Yeah.

>> Dr. Eugene Lipoff: So basically every time you scroll, you scroll and you look at different things. So algorithms are designed for big computers to drive social media designed to keep you engaged. How do you keep them engaged? New stuff that's kind of cocky, colorful, you know, just always get you going. So each one of those yes you find a flight just a little bit. But if you do it all the time, fight applied system is always wrapped and that reduces the dopamine. So you can kind of your whole system is off. But the problem of doing it continuously then it leads to sleep. Sleep dysfunction especially people do scroll at night, right? They're inducing melatonin, they can't sleep. And what happens then is that fight or flight system is overactive especially women are more expensive than the guys because they always compare themselves that could post on did anybody do it by your follow it. Did they like it? They didn't like it. Whatever. They're all with nerve that nervousness, fighting flight and being overactive. Same thing as ptsd. There's like a big event. This is just micro event with a lot of. And then when you don't sleep it leads to inflammation in the body. In fact I submitted the article to Psycho. it's called cyberpsychology that PTSD and ah neutral PTSD have common common cause. What's interesting also favoring the use of the devices. There are higher chances behavior the use of devices the more the brain strength. People talk about brain rot people. So I have a substack post out there. I call it brain route is real meaning you can actually measure the brain PTSD also brain. So in many ways they're very similar and you know it can lead to suicide, being sick, being tired all the time, depressed all the time.

Dr. Eugene Lipoff talks about PTSD and his book God Thought

>> Walker Wildmon: once again we're talking to Eugene Lipoff about PTSD and his work on this and his writings on this. doctor, tell us about your book and how folks and where folks can find that book.

>> Dr. Eugene Lipoff: Well the book I wrote is called God Thought, and it's on Amazon it's called the God. in 2016, Playboy wanted to write an article about, my work. And one of the patients we treated had a body who was treated by somebody else. They're both marines. They called it the Giant, because it changes life. We love the title. That's where the title came from. And I met this amazing lady, Lauren, and she actually wrote the book. I'm not a great writer, I'm good at maintenance. So again, this book talks about my personal experience. It also talks about secondary ptsd. They can get ptsd, from a loved one. That's very common. So for example, my treat special horticulture guide. I like to treat them, and their spouse. In the military, the saying goes, everybody goes to war. It's not just the military person, war fighter. It's the whole family, the mother and the kid. Everybody's trapped and all that. and then, you know, again, the key point is to remember that there's the real condition visible. It's not an invisible wound. Real. In fact, I am working change the name PTSD to ptsi. If you look at my pin here, see, there we go, it's ptsi. So the term PTSD was talking about. The problem is what people have found. It's stigmatizing. I did a study that showed me stigma kill. If you're stigmatized and you feel bad being labeled as a cuckoo in the head, you don't want to go see treatment. And I think that's going to be problems. Further, it takes hope. There's no hope. Then people do better things themselves and others. Again, it's really important people want to participate in that. They can go to my website. It's pksi.com its PTSI. You can fill out a survey. What I'm trying to do that last time I did a study like 3,000 people and I made the psychiatric patients that we don't want to deal with them. It's not enough information. I'm trying to do 100,000 people. If anybody wants to fill in, that may actually help a lot.

>> Walker Wildmon: Well, Dr. Eugene Lipoffis, who we've been talking to about his book and his study and work on PTSD. Dr. Lipoff, thank you so much for coming on the program. We'll be sure to point people to your URL and your book and we appreciate your work on this subject.

>> Dr. Eugene Lipoff: Thanks for having me on.

>> Walker Wildmon: Absolutely. Glad to have you on the program.

Dr. Eugene Lipoff discusses the role of technology in daily lives

All right, there you have it folks. Dr. Eugene Lipoff, his website his URL is a doctor doctor abbreviated Dr. Eugene Lipov is how his last name is spelled. L I P O V. D R Eugene. L I p o v.com.com. Dr. Eugene Lepoff. They're talking about his book the God Shot and his work on the subject of ptsd. So we appreciate him coming on the program. folks, this is a, and this. I'm going to try to do more episodes on this and I apologize about the audio there. his audio was a little spotty on Zoom, but we tried to stick with it just for the sake of honoring his time. but nonetheless, and we'll probably have him back, maybe get him on some clearer audio. But I want to do more shows and segments on this, ah, a lot of the research around technology and the use and integration of technology in our daily lives because I think with obviously the smartphone, was a major milestone in the world of technology and it being in our daily lives because we went from the modern or at the time the work computer mostly is what it was. And then of course people began purchasing computers for their personal use and for their home. But primarily in the early days of the Internet, the early days of the computer, it was a work device. And then people began. Computers, became more affordable and people began purchasing them for their homes. But even at that time, and once again folks, I'm doing total history lesson here on the fly. But I'm just talking from my experience, even when we transitioned as a society from the work computer at your work desk to the personal computer at home, even then it was at a stationary location. So it wasn't with you all the time, so to speak. But then came about the laptop. And then following that became the smartphone. The iPhone was the first one. And this, put basically a computer in your pocket, a computer in your purse, and made it to where you're always quote, unquote connected. And so that's what we've grown used to. We've basically accepted it as the norm, accepted it as a standard. There's a few people out there that have resisted. They still have their flip phone or their landline. But I think all of this, my point is all of this needs to be re examined. All of this needs to be re examined. And we also need to look at the studies associated with it because now we have decades of these computers in our pocket. A couple decades now the computer in our pocket. And we need to look at what the studies are showing on how it affects our mental Health, how it affects our emotions, how it affects the use of our time and our attention. And we can all look at this and know really on the front end of looking at this, that the results probably aren't going to be pretty. They're not going to be pretty. And one of the things that that is, that is sure to come up the more that studies are done is how we're using the time on the devices. And I can just tell you from personal experience, yes, I get a lot of work done on the device. Yes, productivity can increase on these devices that are tethered to us at all times talking about the smartphone, but there is also a lot of wasted time on these devices. And whether it's social media use, which really isn't that social at all because we're not doing face to face socializing, or whether it's the entertainment, watching television, watching video series, etc. On the device. All in all, I would argue, we're probably doing less productivity on these devices than we are productivity. And that just is because of the entertainment world that we live in and the fact that we're always looking to be consuming something. and there's a pushback coming. It's already happening now. I just read a story the other day of an entire school district that said, look, basically, hey, we're cutting back on the technology. Yeah, we'll still have a computer class, we'll still teach you critical computer skills. But this whole notion that students got to have the laptop on them all the time, ah, we're ending that. We're getting rid of that. And, we had here locally an entire listening session with parents and educators about not only banning phones from the classroom, but cutting back on the laptop time. And when you look at the amount of money that these districts have spent billions on these devices, you can save a little money along the way. We'll see you next time.
