Summary
Why has President Joe Biden not spoken publicly since it was announced last Wednesday that he had contracted COVID-19? Conspiracy theories range from hospice care to stroke to cover ups. When all truth is personal and subjective, as postmodernists have claimed for decades, we are left with a “post-truth” society in which “your truth” is as valid as “my truth.” If we want to know “the truth,” we must know the One who is the truth by being submitted to his Spirit. If we do, we will make him known.

| 0:00.0 | Good day. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. Today is Wednesday, July the 24th, 2024. |
| 0:08.2 | I'm Chris Elkins, narrating today's article written by Denison Forum co-founder and CEO, Dr. Jim Denison. |
| 0:16.5 | Conspiracy theories abound in the news today. For example, why has President Joe Biden not spoken publicly since it was announced last Wednesday that he had contracted COVID-19? Did he have a stroke? Is he now in hospice care? Will the Oval Office address his plans for tonight prove such suspicions wrong? Or will skeptics see a brief address given from a |
| 0:38.8 | teleprompter, if this is what he delivers, as further cover-up of his alleged infirmities? And what of |
| 0:45.1 | Mr. Biden's health across recent weeks, months and even years? Numerous pundits are faulting |
| 0:50.6 | Vice President Kamala Harris for participating in an quote-unquote epic miscalculation |
| 0:56.8 | or even an elaborate cover-up of his purported failings. |
| 1:01.0 | Others have alleged conspiracy theories behind the July 13th attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. |
| 1:08.1 | Some claim that President Biden quote-unquote sent the orders, while others |
| 1:12.7 | called the attempt a failed coup. Still, others reported that the Secret Service was ordered not to |

| 1:24.7 | extreme incompetence or deliberate action by the Secret Service. |
| 1:30.1 | Still, others claim the shooting was staged to benefit Mr. Trump politically. |
| 1:34.9 | Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheel, resigned yesterday after a contentious hearing with Congress on Monday. |
| 1:41.3 | Will this lead to greater accountability? |
| 1:46.0 | Or is it part of the alleged cover-up? |
| 1:52.2 | Sociologist James Hunter observes, quote, when the shared meaning of words is undermined, when we no longer trust that words signify what we thought, any meaning can be imputed to words. If words can mean |
| 1:58.3 | anything, they have no intimate meaning or possibility of a common meaning. |
| 2:03.6 | This is the cultural crisis behind the political crises of our day. When all truth is personal |
| 2:09.6 | and subjective, as postmodernists have claimed for decades, we are left with a post-truth |
