BE BOLD with BOULDEN

A few weeks ago, Unleashed’s host, Chris Michael’s, celebrated his wedding day. As his friend and podcast cohost on our recap episodes I was honored to be in attendance with my wife. Chris sat us at table with four others, two of which did not attend. During a great evening of conversation with the guests sitting alongside my wife and I, we discovered there was an infiltration of a plus one at the table. One of the guests not only worked with Mayor Adams, but he also was friends with Letitia James! During our spirited conversation that followed I learned a good deal of information.

On today’s show I confront Michaels on how such a man could enter into the most holy of days in his life to put a face to all he is against. Does Michael’s also dine with Judge Engoron? Has our friendship been a farce?

As we begin our recap of the week’s events listeners will hear RFK Jr. dismantle CNN’s Erin Burnett’s insistence that Biden is not dangerous to our country. Not only does he refuse to back down, but he states unequivocally that Trump is not a threat compared to the Biden administration.

Are you concerned about next week’s solar eclipse? Chris and I break down the CERN lab and experiments. State of Emergencies are being declared ahead of April 8th. We speculate on why there is fear surrounding a semi-regular event.

And, we discuss NATO and the Iran/Israel growing conflict. News media is sounding the alarm on a global war.

The media is full of sensationalized and weaponized stories. The upcoming eclipse should be a moment to pause and admire our cosmos and the beauty of our planet. There are many stories warning people that a catastrophe may strike on April 8th and for citizens to be prepared. The fear based culture is a death cult that will not be satisfied until everyone has been touched by the doom and gloom.

Looking through the stories about Israel and Iran, I quickly noticed that talk of World War III was highlighted in many writers future predictions. The destabilizing act of aggression from Israel killing the general from Iran could have dire consequences. Iran will likely respond to the attack with equal or greater force. However, there is no need to manifest a global war by typing out the playbook for all the countries to follow.

Stories are filled with accounts of the occult and there are individuals that would like to see the ushering in of evil and conflict. People can feel the discord amongst society. The average person knows they do not feel right, but many cannot quit the machine that feeds them the ideas they brood over each day. They want to divide to usher in the Revelations style event to justify what they are hoping will happen in the coming days, weeks, months, and year.

We are not made for doom and gloom. We are made for awe and wonder. Humanity deserves to live in the now without the prediction and willful spirit to watch a tragedy for entertainment. As the CERN lab fires up the collider once again during the eclipse keep your eyes on nature. Do not allow yourself to be distracted, do not be afraid.

In 1992, NPR published a story that Richard Nixon would be seeking a second term in the upcoming election. They used a voice actor to mimic Nixon’s vocal style, and the country began to explode in shock of the announcement. The date was April 1st. Unsuspecting listeners to the radio station had fallen for a classical April Fools day prank.

The stories of the gullible continue each year with unsuspecting victims reading and watching fake news stories created to trick the public. These date back to the change to the Gregorian calendar. The shift took the New Year to January 1st, as decreed in the Council of Trent. Those that did not get word of the change continued to celebrate the New Year on the first of April and were quickly labeled, “The April Fools.”

The lore of this day of fake news has been capitalized on by many, with my favorite occurring in 1957 where there was a story from the BBC stating the spaghetti crops were plentiful on the trees.  Many looked at the image and those that had difficulty with processing in the reasoning lobe of the brain thought, “I was today years old when I discovered spaghetti comes from trees.”

Applying logic and reasoning capabilities to the stories that surround us is a critical task that only 7 out of 10 individuals are capable of accomplishing. The global IQ is 85, with the United States ranked at a 98 in 2019. When researchers looked at verbal IQ, Republicans in 2014 scored higher than democrats. In fact, socio-economic factors contributed within the party and the ability to use logic.

Those that choose to question stories are label conspiracy theorist. This is often a defense of the low IQ, a self-preservation, because they lack the ability to ask questions they cannot comprehend.

Next time someone tells you to put on your tin foil hat, maybe check their back for an April Fools sign that says, “Kick Me”.

Selective muteness is the most common form of muteness, a person who chooses or has an inability to speak. There are various reasons for individuals to avoid audible communication which include shyness, social anxiety, and others due to medical reasons. Those that choose not to speak are often labeled as a silent rather than mute because the external factors may not be related to a speech disorder.

Humanity often has a habit of shutting up those they choose not to hear from, often with abusive behavior to stifle the speech that makes them uncomfortable. These abusive individuals deny others of the ability to be heard by destroying their sense of self worth and that their voice is worthy of others. In these circumstances trust is key to rebuilding a silent person to someone with a valuable voice. All people deserve to be heard, even when it does not align to what we believe in.

Technology is now enabling a new form of voice. Artificial intelligence makes it easier than ever to rob someone of their unique image and sound and replicate words into their personality and personhood. The new technology is an intellectual theft of the person and a misrepresentation and characterization of those mimicked and casted to be imitated. On today’s show I use an example of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who both are speaking to me through artificial intelligence.

This week I was reminded that our voice is an identifier that should be treated with compassion and respect. It should never be delegated to “text-to-speech” for anyone to use. A student who was silent finally spoke. His words to me, “I trust you. I trust you, and want you to hear my voice”. These words moved me to tears. His voice was unique and amazing, and I celebrated that he was able to break free of his limitations.

His voice was a reminder of what is ours. I want YOU to hear my voice. I trust you. Do you trust me? If so, let us begin by listening and allowing others to be free to speak.

There is a crisis growing throughout the world. Humanity is failing to pass on the traditional standards which help promote ethical behavior. A world without ethics would likely struggle to remain stable over the long term. Ethics prove the foundation for moral principles and guidelines that have governed human behavior and interactions within a civilized society. Without ethics, there could be no universal standard for right or wrong, just or unjust, fair or unfair. When I asked the question, “What are Ethics?”, most of the people I approached could not define the word.

Education has been tasked with teaching the standards and philosophical writings that have been preserved for humanity. These lessons can be found in classical literature, the work of the Apostles, and throughout the Greek writers of yesteryear. If society ignores the duty to pass the innate sensibilities on to the next generation, will ethics continue to be followed. In fact, with so many unable to answer, do ethics exist in our modern society?

While it's conceivable that a society could function for a time without a formal ethical framework, such a society would likely face significant challenges in maintaining stability, cohesion, and progress over the long term. Ethics provide the moral compass that guides human behavior and decision-making, and their absence could lead to a breakdown of social order and stability.

Today I talk about the headlines, from the Baltimore bridge collapse, to the raid on P Diddy, the coverage may show that society is losing ethical compassion and care.

Have you ever experienced a serendipitous encounter that seemed too perfectly timed to be a mere coincidence? From unexpected reunions with long-lost friends to chance encounters that change the course of our lives, synchronicity offers a compelling lens through which to explore the interconnectedness of the universe. On Saturday evening I walked over to a cocktail table to place my food down. The couple that was on the other side of the table engaged in conversation with my wife and I. The conversation deepened when I was told that I had been speaking with a psychic.

Covering various topics on my show throughout the years, I’ve developed a keen awareness that the universe isn’t always as it appears. I’m open minded to more possibilities than limits. However, there are areas of channeling that have felt more like an illusion and party trick than sincere and valid. I decided to engage in a conversation about my skepticism and doubt. Quickly I discovered my skepticism was matched by statements that could not be known. I was quickly put in a place where I needed to reflect on what I believed to be true.

Our conversation has challenged me to feel the future ahead. I’m certain that there are big things coming that will require my attentiveness.

In the second half of today’s show, I discuss the pre-censorship being used on truth. Google and their company, YouTube, are removing content rapidly for individuals such as Dr. Peter McCullough. My own account received a strike for medical misinformation last week after our interview with Kayla Pollock. There are individuals like Mike Benz who are trying to educate the public about the government’s role in censorship. It is more important than ever to follow and support voices of truth and freedom.

The 2020 election placed conversations about the integrity of our democratic voting procedures into every home across America. During the November 3rd returns a clear picture began to be broadcast to the nation that Donald Trump was taking a decisive lead in early returns. Many went to bed assuming that the election would be called by the time they woke up on November 4th. In the overnight hours news media began showing vote totals adding up for the presidential challenger, Joe Biden. Immediately claims of election tampering and fraud began pouring in.

In the immediate aftermath the Trump campaign team went looking for the evidence of massive voter fraud. By Wednesday afternoon as the shock gripped the President and the nation, Alex Cannon picked up the phone and called Ken Block. Alex was a lawyer for the Trump campaign. Ken was an expert in voter data, a tech entrepreneur, two-time candidate for Governor, and the founder of the centrist political party, who remained active in Rhode Island. After careful consideration of Mr. Cannon’s request to work to find voter fraud evidence, Ken agreed to work for the campaign to research.

The deadlines were tight, with most states certifying the election by the first week of December. In Ken Block’s new book, “Disproven”, he documents the email requests and daily challenges to get to the bottom of the fraud claims to help court cases. Each chapter of his book is a study of how the story of fraud came to be, what the data states, and a conclusion of whether the claim was legitimate for the courts.

In the end, Ken concludes that he could not prove voter fraud with any certifiable evidence that would have changed the election outcome. However, he uncovers and presents major issues in the systems used to record the will of the nation. He joins America Emboldened to discuss his findings, and what he would propose could begin to reform our elections in the future.

Kayla Pollock believed she was protecting her health. She has been treated for Type I diabetes for years and her healthcare providers felt receiving the covid vaccine would give her the best protection. She received her first set of vaccines with no issues or concerns. In February of 2022 she went to get her booster, which was from Moderna, and within days lost her ability to stand. Over the course of a few weeks her condition deteriorated. The Canadian healthcare system told her she was faking being paralyzed and recommended her for a psych evaluation.

Hours later Kayla received an MRI scan which showed crippling transverse myelitis around a long portion of her spine. She had become a quadriplegic as a result of a vaccine injury.

After hearing Kayla’s story, I knew I needed someone with medical credentials to assist in telling her story. I reached out to my colleague, Dr. Peter McCullough, to cohost this episode for the benefit of both Kayla and my listening audience.

Listening to today’s episode you will notice several key details. Socialized medicine in Canada is failing their citizens, and money is more important than life. Transverse Myelitis is well documented in peer reviewed literature. And, there is always a glimmer of hope we can offer one another.

Temptation is a story synonymous with the human experience. Throughout history money has influenced behavior, values, and social structure. The temptation to achieve a gain over others has been found through the actions of greed. The dollar can lead to unethical behavior that corrupts systems, exploits others, and leads to inequalities. The pursuit of wealth can lead to mistrust in our community.

Since the beginning of the school year I have been running an experiment on temptation in my classroom. I found a few dollars and placed it under two magnets on my white board. Students began to take notice of the money on the board and began asking questions. They wanted to know why it was there, whether they could take it without punishment, and who put it there.  I explained the money was on the board and there were no rules other than it was a thought experiment.

Throughout the months I added to the money and upgraded the value of the bills to a ten and some ones. Teachers and staff would walk in and see the money on the board. They also had questions. Many were wondering how students had resisted the temptation of the cash for months.  I explained to the staff that I believed it showed the character and care students had for both my room and each other. As time went on students became protective of the money on the board.

Last week I was out for two days for an illness. I returned to the classroom this week and discovered the money was missing. Five and a half months.

Students were devastated to learn someone had broken the trust of the group.

The experiment ended, but not without a great lesson. The simple action of one student impacted over 100 students, some of which did not know each other. Like a stone dropped into a lake, no one could escape the ripple cast.

Temptation is a billion dollar industry. None of us escape.

It’s my hope the student will find the $10 is fruitful and pays it forward.

The reactions to Donald Trump’s speech hit a fever pitch of delusion over the weekend. Claims that he was calling for a bloodbath if he lost the election were projected by Nancy Pelosi, and newspapers sensationalized the story to create traffic. Conservative media was aligned in attacking the former president, as Matt Drudge ran the headline as the marquee on the infamous “drudgereport”. The irony of Matt Drudge continuing to “pick the winning candidate” continues to linger from those who have paid attention to how Matt chooses headlines throughout the past two decades.

Society is re-living Greek tragedy. In Parmenides' philosophy, he argued for the unity and immutability of Being, suggesting that reality is unchanging and indivisible. According to Parmenides, what truly exists is eternal and immutable, while the world of appearances, characterized by change and multiplicity, is illusory. Our news media, social feeds, and conversations with friends and families has tragically shifted to the world of appearances. The truth is unchanged despite those who wish to rewrite it. The facts are whole even when others try to divide and lessen the meaning.

Narrative is written as truth, but the truth never needed to be presented, because it has always, and will always, be.

So why do political opponents continue to distance us from facts and figures and replace the truth with stories? Likely because it is human nature to take comfort in illusion. This is why many fall in love with theater and magic shows. Life does not offer control but illusion does. When a society can no longer just be, it attacks the deafening and immutable nature of being. Instead of rational thoughts we give in to our fears and anxiety to escape from clarity even when we know it is false. Narrative presents complexities for our mind to engage in because reality often bores us. In order to escape the reality of being. We enter into a world of story.

This explains why some would claim Trump to be a rising Hitler. They will remember his words of being a dictator on day one and create the narrative that it will not end there. They will ignore the facts and publish their fears and anxieties. According the Parmenide’s, this is a fundamental aspect of humanity.

If we remove the stories and stick to facts we may also discover that reality is uncomfortable.
