	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Using free speech to free minds.
	Music.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 1st of February, year of our Lord, 2023.
	3.
	Day 1,056 of the emergency.
	Today we're going to take a look at the push towards war, the season that we're in, and especially what is happening in terms of the general public and the unraveling trust in institutions.
	This is a driving factor in the fourth turning.
	And as we see, Biden's saying for a third time that he's going to end the medical martial law that's been in place for 1,056 days.
	Do you trust him?
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us. Music Well,
	as Babylon Bee puts it, it's a miracle.
	Biden is going to end the COVID pandemic for the third time.
	Nobody but Biden could do it three times in a row.
	No other president has ended the COVID pandemic even once, let alone three times.
	Said gay black press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at a press conference that still bars entry to anyone who has not recently tested negative and also mandates the unvaccinated to wear masks and social distance.
	How about that? However, we must make this clear, she said.
	Again, this is a Babylon Bee.
	This part of it is satire.
	The ongoing pandemic, which President Biden just ended multiple times, is not over.
	Critics have voiced concern about President Biden and wondering if President Trump should also receive credit for Operation Warp Speed.
	Which helped to rush Pfizer's perfect, 100% effective COVID-19 vaccine into our veins and then into our hearts.
	That's right. Trump will always be with us in our hearts.
	And it is amazing to see.
	I see these op-ed pieces on American Thinker, which is a big MAGA site.
	Trump can do no wrong there.
	And yet one person is saying, Is he worth it?
	Is he one of the baddies?
	And yet the guy goes through this list of things that Trump did not do.
	He doesn't even talk about the lockdown.
	He blames the lockdown on the Democrats.
	You know that. It's the Democrats who did the lockdown.
	That's the usual MAGA line that Trump paid them lavishly and continued to pay them to do.
	But, you know, it was COVID, which he didn't have anything to do with.
	And it was lockdowns, which Trump didn't have anything to do with.
	And conveniently forgets to mention the vaccine.
	Forgets to mention the gun control by executive order.
	The... It dictates saying, no, the kids have got to take the MMR vaccine.
	I don't care if their parents have religious objections to this.
	I don't care if it's a private school.
	I don't care if it's a private religious school and the parents don't want it.
	No, they've got to get the shot.
	Yeah, tell me that Trump would not run through a mandate.
	It was just his phase of it was to pull in the rubes who would do anything.
	Would not oppose anything that Trump has done because he's playing 4D chess, right?
	That's why he was there.
	They would have resisted otherwise.
	So Biden has announced the end of this in May, as I pointed out yesterday.
	One of the things about this is that he had said previously, I'll give you 60 days notice prior to ending this.
	Again, if it's an emergency and the emergency is over, just stop it.
	No, you've got to have at least 60 days.
	In this case, he's giving us 120 days notice, which is why I don't believe it's going to happen.
	Because he's responding not to the pandemic, not to anything that's medical.
	He's responding to the bills coming out of the house.
	What I did not mention yesterday is that there's two bills coming out of the house.
	One of them addresses the emergency declaration that was in January that was by the big pharmaceutical CEO that Trump put in as head of the HHS, Alex Azar, Eli Lilly CEO. So the Eli Lilly CEO, pharmaceutical CEO, declared the pandemic in January.
	I mean, it wasn't even, nothing was even happening in China at that time, really.
	They didn't have a clear case.
	They weren't even trying to make the case that this is a pandemic in China.
	But anyway, he did that in January, and then the second bill would undo Trump's emergency executive order.
	Thomas Massey said, Republicans are already getting results.
	This week we're voting to end the COVID emergency.
	In response, Biden has announced that he is going to end the COVID emergency declarations.
	Now that Biden is trying to avoid embarrassment, so now how are the Democrats going to vote?
	Yeah, Biden has declared multiple times.
	It's over. Well, no, I didn't really mean that.
	And now that he says he's going to end it, they can ask the Democrats who are going to vote against this, well, why would you wait another 120 days if he says it's going to end?
	And again, it's all phony.
	Every bit of this was planned, political.
	In two months, we're going to do this.
	In four months, we're going to do this.
	And then when they do that, they tell you the next step that they're going to take.
	Always incremental. Always iterative.
	So Steve Scalise said, rather than waiting until May 11th, the Biden administration should join us now.
	And immediately ending this declaration, the days of the Biden administration being able to hide behind COVID to waste millions, I'm sorry, billions, yes, billions, billions of taxpayer dollars on their unrelated radical agenda.
	Those days are over, he said.
	Well, the reality is that they want to keep this going, as I pointed out yesterday, because of the money.
	And the biggest pushback so far has been from the accountants, the federal accountants, the Office of Management and Budget.
	They say, we can't just turn off this tap of money that Trump started, right?
	That's why it's the second emergency order that I think is even more significant, because that's the money.
	The money makes this stuff happen.
	But then there's another aspect to it.
	Biden is saying, I have to keep extending this because of Title 42.
	And as I've said before, Title 42 was not really about immigration.
	Title 42 is about this pandemic nonsense.
	It goes back and forth, right?
	But it was the only thing that Trump had done on the border.
	The only thing that he had done for his base on the border was Title 42.
	But this is ultimately a pandemic policy.
	And so that's one of the reasons why Biden is on board with this.
	That should tell you everything.
	One of the House bills is known as the Pandemic is Over Act.
	And that's the one that attacks the January 17th order by the pharmaceutical executive that Trump put in charge.
	The other one is also another House Resolution 7 that is addressing The March 13th executive order, which is what I marked time from.
	We're up to 1,056 days from that.
	But the Office of Management and Budget said, look, Medicaid's been operating under special rules.
	You know, big bonuses to hospitals and all the rest of this stuff.
	Special rules to provide extra funding to states as well.
	To ensure that patients did not lose access to care unpredictably, that state budgets don't face a radical cliff.
	Well, I don't know.
	I think locking everything down and turning the country into communist China, declaring a FEMA-type emergency, we always knew that this was going to be coming through FEMA. That's why Alex was like, it's 40 chests, just trust him.
	And MAGA trusted Trump.
	No, this is the FEMA emergency, Alex, you've been talking about for decades.
	I always knew they were going to run it through a declared emergency.
	But while we're talking about immigration, as I said when I talked to David Hathaway, sheriff of Santa Cruz County in Arizona that's on the border, we were talking about how out of control the border patrol has become.
	Be careful what you ask for.
	You want a wall?
	You want IDs?
	You want a big police force?
	Well, that might just be coming after you.
	And I mentioned at the time, I said, yeah, that's always been my problem with the E-Verify system.
	Conservatives really want that.
	We don't want people who come into this country to work.
	Now, they can get welfare.
	That's okay. But not working.
	No, no, no. We don't want them working.
	And that's what's happening in Florida right now.
	DeSantis has revoked licenses, business licenses, if they don't use the E-Verify system in Florida.
	This is something that even the government has said is very expensive and cumbersome to use.
	But understand, and I've said this for the longest time, when we first opened up our business, I had to get what was called a business privilege license.
	A privilege license.
	A privilege to work.
	A privilege to own a business.
	I thought, well, really? Really?
	And yet, this is from the same people who tell you that welfare is a right.
	Welfare is a right, but if you want to open a business, if you want to work, that's a privilege, and I'll tell you whether or not you can do that.
	You understand? And that's what's fundamentally here with this DeSantis order and with E-Verify.
	If you don't follow my digital ID system, if you don't follow this system where you ask the government if you can hire this person, and we all have to Hope that the government is going to allow us to have a job.
	You understand how this can easily be turned from illegal immigrants into people whose politics they don't like?
	You want a system where the federal government can veto me getting a job?
	Are you getting a job? You want a system where if you don't comply with this system in enforcing this digital ID, they can take away your business license and close your business?
	Is that what you want? Is this a test case, DeSantis, for central bank digital currencies?
	You better believe it is, and you better understand where this guy is coming from as well.
	Trump called him out. He's got globalist backers.
	Of course, Trump's known better.
	But don't put your hopes in some GOP savior.
	He's going to stick you on the back just like Trump did.
	Mark my words if he gets the power.
	He already did it at the beginning of the lockdown.
	He was fully on board with everything.
	He even closed Interstate 10 coming from the west.
	He closed I-95 coming from the north.
	He did that before Cuomo did it.
	And of course, he admits, and his Surgeon General admits, These vaccines are harmful, ineffective, and harming people.
	And they say, well, we don't want to give it to the young people, but let's keep killing the elderly people.
	As Ryan Shalhavi points out, I forget what it was, like 19,000% increase or something like that.
	I don't remember the exact number.
	But why would we continue to use this poison?
	As I pointed out yesterday, Brian went back and found a New York Times article.
	With the swine flu, after three people died, you had nine states say, we're not going to allow that vaccine to be given anymore.
	Do we have to get to three million?
	Dying instantly? Not even talking about the one and a half million who've been injured.
	Many of them seriously. Many of them, their injuries have terminated their ability to be independent.
	Left them with this permanent chronic debilitating condition of constant tremors.
	The orthopedic surgeon I talked to, many people like that.
	Left them in pain? You're going to keep doing this, DeSantis?
	Well, think about this E-Verify system.
	Oh yeah, we want to know if these people are legit.
	Are you going to be allowed to work in the U.S.? Well, let's ask the federal government.
	Can't you see how this is going to be weaponized against the very people, the conservatives, who are demanding it?
	They're going to be hoisted by their own petard.
	They are selling and demanding the rope that will be used to hang them.
	So, privileged licenses being revoked because they don't have a de facto national ID, the e-verify system.
	Under orders from Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, is that not an Orwellian?
	The Department of Economic Opportunity is going to take away your business license if you don't get A big brother government ID. Permission to hire.
	Permission to work.
	Wow. The Economic Opportunity Department.
	The Department of Love.
	You know, the ones that arrest you and beat you and all the rest of this stuff.
	Leigh McGowan, the department's press secretary.
	They've got a bureaucracy to do this.
	Confirmed to reason on Monday that the state was revoking licenses from two Florida-based businesses that had failed to comply with the law mandating the use of the federal E-Verify system to check the immigration status of all workers hired after January the 1st, 2021. Why is he just now doing it?
	Well, because he's throwing some red meat to his base, which is foolishly begging...
	Again, for this rope that's going to be used to hang them.
	The federally verified system is supposed to be an efficient, low-cost way for businesses to check employment status of workers.
	In reality, it is a flawed system, says Reason, that imposes huge costs on businesses and workers.
	In 2016, the Department of Homeland Security, this is under Obama, Homeland Security under Obama estimated that compliance of the program cost employers an estimated 13.5 million man-hours annually.
	That's just what we need.
	If you have a business, you just need some more paperwork to comply with.
	And if you don't do it right, then they hit you with massive fines.
	When we opened up our business, it was a learning curve.
	Oh, if we didn't do the withholding Within exactly the right time, you know, eventually we found out you got to do the withholding on the same day.
	But if you don't do certain things like that, they come back with you with penalties and all the rest of the stuff.
	That's why I believe so many small businesses fail because the IRS, perhaps it was designed to do that as well as to surveil us.
	Anyway, this is a bureaucratic intrusion of the private decisions of employers and workers that conservatives would in many other cases oppose.
	But hey, you know, we can throw away the Constitution and our freedoms and everything in order to protect ourselves from illegal aliens.
	But the reality, as I said, is that the real issue are not the people who come here to work.
	The real issue are the people who come here for welfare.
	Why are we giving illegal aliens, or for that matter, legal immigrants?
	Why would we give legal immigrants welfare?
	Immigrants of any sort.
	Every other country.
	If you want to become a citizen or live there, You have to show that you are self-sufficient, that you have an income as well as a certain level of wealth.
	And that can support you and any of your family members that come in.
	Whether or not you're talking about Switzerland or you're talking about Belize.
	I know when I was looking around, I thought things were going under after Ruby Ridge and Waco.
	Well, they're getting ready to make a move.
	A little bit early, but we're looking around.
	We're looking at New Zealand. We're looking at various places.
	Everybody requires that. Everybody.
	I mean, even Belize, you had to have $25,000 basically to buy your way in, live in that corrupt hellhole.
	But in Switzerland, you had to live there for 10 years.
	And then you had to have a list of references of people who would recommend you as a Swiss citizen and on and on.
	I mean, it was a lot of requirements to do that.
	Welfare is the problem.
	Welfare was the center of the Cloward and Piven strategy.
	The Democrats, well, you know, this Great Reset has been around this idea of socialists and Marxists to bring down the system so they can rebuild their socialist Marxist system.
	That's been around in various forms for a long time.
	And Cloward and Piven were saying, well, you know, we all believed that we could make everybody dependent on the government.
	If we had a welfare system, everybody would start doing that.
	But Native Americans haven't picked up enough on that to bring the system down, so we need to accelerate that.
	The way we can accelerate the collapse of the system through a welfare state...
	It is by opening up the borders and opening up the welfare state to foreign citizens of any sort.
	Come in here legally or illegally.
	With our permission or without our permission.
	It's okay. You're here now. You get all the welfare.
	And they said, that'll do it.
	And now we see what's happening.
	People coming, not just from Mexico, Central America, and even further down, to come live on the welfare.
	It's a giant magnet. That's the problem.
	But they won't address the problem.
	DeSantis is not addressing the problem.
	You know, if you wanted to say, well, you're not going to get any welfare here in the United States if you're an illegal immigrant, at least do it that way.
	I don't think it ought to be extended to legal immigrants, as I said.
	No other country does that. You can't say, well, you know, I'd like to file all this paperwork and get on the welfare rolls here in Switzerland.
	No. Nein, they say.
	But we say, ja, wollt.
	Yeah, come on in.
	Now, if he was serious about fixing the problem, he would stop the welfare state.
	Instead, what's he doing? He's taking licenses from businesses that don't push a federal ID, federal permission to work.
	So, Jason Barker says, my wife had to jump through hoops when she got a Georgia license.
	Tell me about it. I just did the same thing with tennis.
	That's part of the problems that we had with Coinbase that was driving me nuts.
	It's part of the real ID system.
	Without it, she can't drive or work.
	Exactly. And, you know, they were very happy to tell me that, well, we're now requiring all of this extra ID. It's like, I got a passport already.
	You got to have all this other stuff as well?
	And, you know, now that you've jumped through all these hoops, and, you know, the problem is that my license, I let my license expire in Texas.
	We were moving and, you know, it was busy and all the rest of the stuff, and it went past the date.
	So, you know. Back to the drawing board.
	And so they said, well, the good news is that you get a yellow star.
	I was like, oh, sounds like Nazi Germany, you know?
	That's exactly the way I see these ID cards.
	She said, no, no, with the yellow star, it was supposed to start this year, in 2023, but they delayed it one more year to 2024.
	You will not be able to fly in the United States...
	Unless you go through all this real ID stuff and get your yellow star.
	Or you'll have to use a passport to fly internally in the United States.
	You see why this is kind of great?
	You see why this is a really raw point with me about digital ID? Do conservatives not understand what is already in place and they're demanding more of it?
	So this conservative un-American thinker says, is Donald Trump worth the fight?
	He was a great, if imperfect, president.
	By the third year of his presidency, the country was flourishing.
	But then the swamp struck back.
	Yeah, this is the narrative that you hear from the always-Trumpers.
	The swamp struck back via COVID and the George Floyd protests.
	Well, yeah, the swamp was involved in COVID because it was purely a political pandemic.
	There was no medical reasons for that.
	It was his pharmaceutical CEO at HHS who fired the first blow at us.
	Neither of those was Trump's making.
	Are you kidding me? See, this is a self-deception of the Trump supporters.
	But Democrats used them both to steal the election.
	Well, the election would not have been...
	They could not have done the vote-by-mail completely in the mail-out election, mailing out ballots to everybody, multiple ballots mailed out to people.
	They couldn't have done all that nonsense without Trump's lockdown.
	That was necessary. And they locked down all the election.
	And he played along with them.
	And he paid them to do that as well.
	The Democrats didn't create COVID. But they used the lockdowns and the riots to sufficiently upend American life.
	So it was all them. It wasn't Trump.
	Well, the question is, who funded all this?
	Go back. Look at the money.
	Where's the money come from? Follow the money, Jerry.
	Follow the money. Yeah, nothing in this article.
	Nothing. About warp speed, about vaccines, nothing.
	The blind support of Donald Trump, and yet even a blind man, I can't see that he's been betrayed.
	They don't even understand the key points, as I mentioned.
	You know, pushing for vaccine mandates, Trump did.
	Pushing for gun control by executive order, which now look at what Biden is doing with it.
	And the red flag gun laws and all the rest of this stuff.
	You know, there's a lot of red flags with Trump.
	Not just the gun laws.
	Trump could have used the military to stop the violence in the cities when they broke out.
	But of course, you know, he was unwilling to even stop the lockdown.
	He wanted all that stuff to happen.
	Fast forward, they said, two years.
	In November, Trump announces that he's running.
	That's all great, but the question is, has Trump learned the hard lesson?
	Has the swamp...
	The swamp will not stop.
	It cannot be negotiated with.
	The swamp knows no parties or limits, and it must be crushed.
	Otherwise, it will kill him, kill his supporters, kill the republic.
	He was...
	The swamp is the bureaucracy.
	You understand? Everyone, just as I've been talking about CBDC, Biden in March of last year said in six months, first week of September, I want to report from CD about CBDC from all of you.
	Every branch of the bureaucracy, every branch of the bureaucracy is under the executive branch.
	Every one of them. And he split it into four different areas.
	He wanted to report from all of them.
	But the point is, is that every one of these alphabet agencies is under the executive branch.
	You know, the Department of Justice.
	The president gets to appoint his head of the Department of Justice.
	And the Department of Justice is over, you know...
	The FBI, all this stuff.
	Homeland Security, whether you're talking about the NIH or Fauci's NIAID, all of that.
	All of that is under the presidency.
	Why didn't Trump do anything?
	He was in charge of the swamp, the alphabet agencies.
	And he was passive. Didn't do anything.
	Actually, he put horrible people in charge of them.
	Harps. Australia has illegal alien refugees that won't allow to work, but they are on the public teat.
	That's right. That's the way it works.
	That's the way it works.
	You know, welfare is a right.
	Work is a privilege.
	And so is owning a business.
	And we're going to shut that down.
	I mean, that was what made immigration work for America.
	People would come here with nothing but the clothes on their back.
	And they would work hard.
	And that was a welcome thing.
	They came because they wanted the freedom that America had.
	Now we don't have freedom. And we don't have the ability, the freedom to work.
	We have free stuff.
	And I've said for the longest time, people who are immigrating, the big problem with the massive migration that the UN is pushing is that people don't want freedom, they want free stuff.
	And that's what the governments are doing, and that's what DeSantis is doing, frankly.
	So anyway, he goes through his list of things that he thought Trump failed on.
	His number one thing, his number one Trump failure was he endorsed Oz.
	What? What? And the whole thing follows that.
	Oh, yeah. It's all insider GOP politics.
	You know, he endorsed McCarthy.
	He endorsed Oz.
	He supported Rona McDaniel at the Republican Party and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's like, wow, this, you are just, whoever wrote this, I don't have this name on here, whoever wrote this just thoroughly absorbed an insider party politics.
	Doesn't have a clue. He does mention that Trump threw his pro-life supporters under the bus, blaming them for his failed endorsements of failed candidates.
	Who would not have done anything to help us anyway.
	Dr. Oz wasn't going to help us.
	As a matter of fact, it may be better to have Frankenstein in place.
	Fetterman. Young Frankenstein may be better than Dr.
	Oz. At least, it can't be much worse.
	So Bill Sherr says on Real Clear Wire, That the fear of Trump is paralyzing GOP's potential candidates.
	He points out, you know, this, on the first day of February, where we are right now, back in 2019, there were eight Democrat candidates already declared and running for president.
	Trump is the only one who's declared.
	Running on the GOP side.
	You always have a big field of people of the party that doesn't have an incumbent that's running for re-election.
	There's no incumbent running for re-election.
	You get a lot of people. We saw that in the 2016 cycle on the Republican side.
	And on the Democrat side, even though Obama was not continuing...
	Hillary Clinton essentially pushed everybody out for the most part.
	And so what Trump is doing is he's playing the role of Hillary Clinton in the 2024 elections.
	Hillary Clinton staked her case and she kept all the competition out.
	Didn't work for them. It's not going to work for the Republicans either this time around.
	Every one of these candidates should be embarrassed.
	He said there's a lot of Republicans interested in running.
	But they're afraid to do it. Hesitation is mainly because everybody wants someone else to be the early Trump foil.
	Because as soon as you announce, he's going to pounce on you.
	He's going to call you nasty names and things.
	They can't handle the heat.
	I mean, it's just amazing. It is amazing to see it.
	It just galvanizes me to attack him more.
	When I see all the people in the alternative media afraid of criticizing Trump, And I see all the politicians afraid of criticizing him and running against him.
	If I didn't hate politics so much, I would run for office myself and throw myself on the barbed wire so they could crawl over my back.
	There's no way I would ever win.
	There's no way I would ever do that.
	But anyway, no Republican seems to have learned any lessons from the 2016 primary.
	You can't beat Trump unless you take the fight to Trump.
	Forcefully, consistently, and early.
	The 2016 field can at least plead that they were caught off guard by Trump's willingness to savage fellow Republicans and his ability to do so without being penalized by Republican voters.
	But today there are no excuses.
	Everyone knows who they are up against.
	And they've had years to formulate a strategy to deal with him.
	Will it be hard?
	Of course.
	But so is being president of the United States.
	Look, when he ran in 2016, he could position himself as an outsider.
	here.
	Very easily. I'm not a politician.
	I'm a businessman. Right?
	That's good. And the very first question, I'll never forget it.
	When you had the Fox, Brett Baer was the guy who asked the question.
	And he said, if you don't win, are you going to support the rest of the people here?
	And they all said, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	And then you get to Trump. It's like, well, I know.
	I have to see. I have to see what the guy's about, right?
	I mean, shouldn't that be the measurement for Trump?
	Should we just fall in line behind him because he's a Republican or because he's a Trump?
	Or should we actually look at what he does?
	I thought, well, that's really good.
	And I was so disappointed in Rand Paul because Rand Paul just excoriated Trump.
	How dare you? Where is your loyalty?
	Now what does Trump say? He's demanding loyalty from DeSantis.
	I made that guy.
	I made him. Where is his loyalty?
	Well, Trump's had no loyalty to anybody, especially to his voters, especially to the Constitution, especially to our God-given rights.
	He doesn't have any loyalty to that.
	Oh, I can just sign away your God-given right to self-defense.
	I can do it with an executive order.
	Constitution doesn't mean anything.
	We don't even have to get a group of politicians to void the Constitution with their gun control laws.
	I can just do it by myself, right?
	I can shut down your business by myself with a stroke of my pen.
	Unleash all this money, unleash the bureaucracy, the deep state that is completely underneath him.
	So, yeah, it is amazing to see that transformation.
	But now Trump is not an outsider.
	He's positioned himself so that everybody criticizes him.
	Because he's rude, he's boorish, he's narcissistic.
	And so it's very easy for him to make political enemies.
	And when he makes enemies of politicians, people think, therefore, he's good.
	I don't like that guy.
	And if that guy doesn't like Trump, Trump must be good.
	Except you have to look at what he does.
	Let's take a look at the 1619 Project.
	I got a...
	I got a message from Travis.
	He's in Austin.
	They had really cold weather and some snow flurries and stuff like that.
	Colder than it is here. But he was saying that they had recommended to them this Hulu's 1619 Project docuseries.
	It wasn't recommended by a friend.
	It was recommended by something they were going to watch movies on or something.
	And Then there's this Reason op-ed piece talking about kind of the central premise of the 1619 thing.
	And I thought it was interesting because I thought the purpose of them putting 1619 in...
	It was because they wanted to ignore what happened with the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower Compact and all that sort of thing.
	That foundation of our country that was based upon a search for liberty and free exercise of religion.
	The group of people who set an amazing precedent by putting together themselves, creating a document, the Mayfoward Compact, that was going to lay out guidelines for self-governance.
	That influenced the Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution as well as the Revolution further down.
	But the idea that the people who landed at Plymouth Rock were there because they wanted to bring families.
	And they focused more on Jamestown.
	That was more of an economic issue.
	That was people who would come to make money.
	And many of the European immigrants who went to Jamestown, they came as indentured slaves.
	And it was, although there were families at Jamestown, There were a lot of people, perhaps the majority, I don't know, but there were a lot of people at Jamestown that were there for purely economic reasons.
	Only the man would come, leave the rest of the family behind.
	Some of them brought their families on later, but they focused on when this indentured servant thing, you could work your way out of that, And so she focused on the fact that they were bringing in black people who would not be able to work their way out.
	They were captured as slaves, captured by their fellow Africans, and then sold to Europeans as slaves, and the Europeans were going to keep them as slaves forever, you know, chattel property.
	And so that's what I kind of thought they were focusing on.
	But in this docuseries, they go to Colonial Williamsburg, I always enjoyed going to Colonial Williamsburg.
	When we lived in the Raleigh area, it was not a far-driving family.
	We went up there a lot.
	In spite of the fact that it was created by the Rockefeller Foundation, and every time we would go, we'd get increasingly Marxist and politically correct people.
	And it's orientation.
	And I guess, you know, it's been a couple of decades since we went now.
	So I imagine it's pretty horrific.
	So they went there to Colonial Williamsburg.
	The buildings are amazing.
	They went back and, you know, reproduced these things.
	They're constantly building and using the Techniques that the people at the time used, and you can watch them as they're doing their, you know, their woodwork, you know, making bricks, making their own lumber from scratch for the construction.
	You've got blacksmiths that are making everything.
	They make everything there themselves, and you can talk to the people who are doing it.
	And so that part of it is interesting, as long as you don't pay any attention to their politics and their spin on it.
	I used to heckle them a couple of times.
	But anyway, they went to Colonial Williamsburg to shoot the 1619 Project film for Hulu.
	And as Reason says, see, Mark says indentured servants agreed to work seven years to pay off the cost of their passage to the New World.
	Yeah, that's right. In the past three years, the Times has grappled with a fallout from Hannah Jones' assertion, including the revelation that ignored its own fact-checker's warning.
	Against printing the charge, the Times tempered its language to apply to some of the colonists, only to see it reasserted by Hannah Jones and her public commentaries.
	Later, a related line about the project's goal of replacing 1776 with the true founding of 1619 disappeared without notice from the Times' website.
	The New York Times found itself in a balancing act between its writers' uncompromising positions and the needs to preserve credibility as it made a Pulitzer Prize bid with the series.
	But Hannah Jones was not ready to abandon the claim that was at the center of her lead essay.
	And the first episode of Hulu series makes that abundantly clear.
	And I told Travis, you know, he wasn't interested in watching.
	He knows what it's about. I said, yeah, the only fictional alternative history that I'm interested in is some of the stuff that was written by Harry Turtledove.
	He knows enough about history that when he spins it a little bit, it gets interesting.
	My favorite book was How Few Remain, I think, was the title of it.
	But the premise was that before, I think the battle was Antietam, there was an order that was dropped that Lee had given to somebody, and that fell into enemy hands.
	And at the very beginning of the book, that starts to happen.
	And some guy says, oh, you dropped something.
	Oh, wow. Imagine what would have happened if that fell into enemy hands.
	And that's the point at which his alternative history diverges from the actual history.
	And so, you know, there's a lot of very early key victories, especially that one.
	And then the war ends, and pretty much everybody, all the key players on both sides are still alive.
	And he follows the trajectory of that, which is kind of interesting.
	But anyway, at least he knows enough.
	You've got to know enough of history.
	To make it plausible. And the problem is that Hannah Jones knows nothing about history.
	It's totally improbable.
	Brian Doug McCartney. I had community meetings about the 1619 Project to dispute it, but they're stuffing it into the curriculum here.
	I know. They're rewriting our history.
	And it's nonsense.
	Absolute nonsense. And we'll talk about what the central premise of this is.
	Again, picking 1619 to get before the pilgrims landed in 1620.
	But that's not all. The central narrative says reason, and the reason that they start out in colonial Williamsburg and at the governor's palace is because their central idea is that the American Revolution was about preserving slavery.
	Yes. It's that stupid.
	It's that ignorant.
	That the American Revolution, the revolution against the British, was to preserve slavery.
	She says that the governor who was there, Dunmore, announced in 1775 that his name is John Murray.
	He was the fourth Earl of Dunmore.
	He was the British governor there.
	And so...
	He announced that any enslaved man from a household that was in rebellion to the colonists would be granted freedom in exchange for military service on the British side.
	As they point out, the evidence that a British threat to slavery impelled Virginians or perhaps the colonists at large, that's her thesis, to revolt is based on that idea.
	Now, you know, one of the things I never liked about history was when they would focus so much on dates and focus on dates to the exclusion of more important things, I thought.
	But it is important to have the dates because you do need to understand the sequence of events.
	And that's the problem with Hannah Jones.
	I think maybe nobody ever taught her any of the dates.
	You see, the reality is that Britain was not about ending slavery.
	Slavery did not end in 1775.
	As a matter of fact, they did not attempt to end slavery in 1775.
	Slavery ended in 1833.
	They ended the slave trade in 1807.
	Both of those events were the product of the tireless work of William Wilberforce.
	This is not in the Reason article.
	I'm just telling you what really happened with slavery in the British Empire.
	And it happened because William Wilberforce became a Christian.
	You see, there had been an abolition movement of sorts in Britain in the 1700s, but most of the abolitionists were Quakers, or they were people that they called non-conformists.
	So that'd be anybody, a non-conformist would be anybody that was not a member of the Church of England.
	And that goes back to right after the English Civil War.
	They had an act that they put in place that required that you be a member of the Church of England, or you could not be a member of Parliament.
	And so, William Wilberforce was a secular politician, and he was already in Parliament, and he became a Christian, and it was such a life-changing event for him that he went to John Newton, the guy who was a former slave trader, and had been captured at one point in time and enslaved himself by the people who were capturing slaves in Africa, right?
	And so he had been a slave.
	He had been a slave. He had been part of the slave trade.
	And he's the guy who wrote Amazing Grace.
	I'm sure you know that story.
	And so William Wilberforce, after he became a Christian, went to John Newton and said, I'm going to get out of politics.
	I'm going to become a pastor. And he says, well, God has called you into politics.
	And you have a rare opportunity where you are.
	You have a calling here.
	A vocation.
	And you should do that to the glory of God.
	And so, you know, John Newton, as a Christian, was radically opposed to slavery that he used to trade in.
	And so he talked William Wilberforce into staying, and William Wilberforce single-handedly took on the slave trade, the biggest financial interest at the time.
	And he continued to crusade against that single-handedly, and he started getting allies and so forth.
	And that began, he had his conversion in 1784.
	And so what Hannah Jones is talking about is 1775, a decree by a British governor who's just trying to create a backlash to And it didn't free any slaves.
	All it did was the propertied landowners that had the plantations who might have said, hey, I don't want to have a war.
	I've got too much here to lose.
	What that did was that galvanized them to say, well, if he's going to take away my business, we might as well oppose him, right?
	So it backfired on him, if anything else.
	But it was already underway, right?
	So you have to understand two things.
	There was no abolition movement that was happening in Britain at that time in 1775.
	And this did not kick off the revolution.
	That is her central premise.
	The idea that this John Murray, the fourth Earl of Dunmore, who was the royal governor in Virginia at the time, Her central premise is that that was what the American Revolution was about.
	Nothing could be further from the truth.
	She's absolutely and willfully ignorant about this, frankly.
	So, again, she doesn't have a timeline for history.
	So she says, as Reason points out, Dunmore's order was a reaction to, not a cause, of the Revolution.
	The Revolution was already in full swing by that time.
	As a matter of fact, a year earlier, the House of Burgesses there in Virginia that they have recreated.
	Now, you can go there and beautiful governor's mansion and all this stuff, and then they have the House of Burgesses, and you can go there and hear a guy do a version of Patrick Henry's Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.
	Well, that speech...
	It had taken place earlier in the year, in March of 1775.
	But the year earlier, the House of Burgesses adopted a resolution of fasting to show their support for the people of Boston for their tax protests, Boston Tea Party, things like that.
	A short time later, a group of leading Virginians, including George Washington, George Mason, signed the Fairfax Resolves, stating a long list of grievances against the Crown and the promotion of the slave trade was one of the grievances that they had.
	There was at least as much, if not more, pushback against the slave trade in the colonies as there was in Britain.
	There was a lot of financial interest on both sides, but there were a lot of people on both sides who opposed it.
	And you could be a representative and oppose it.
	Whereas, you know, Church of England, everybody was, you know, it was kind of along religious lines, as I said.
	It's Quakers and nonconformists who were the abolitionists in the UK. Quakers could be in the legislature.
	So, again, he did his Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death speech many months before in 1775, but it was a year before.
	They were already, you know, supporting with resolutions what was happening in Massachusetts, in Boston especially, and At that point in time, there was no mention of enlisting slaves to fight in the Revolution, but just common sense tells you that if he's going to tell people, hey, we'll enlist you with a British army, we'll free you, that tells you that something has already happened, right?
	There's already fighting that's going on.
	So, the interesting thing about this that he points out, well, also they talk about in Reason, another historian, Holton, who, he's a historian, but he's not an Orthodox historian, and he has tried to bolster the integrity of Hannah Jones by adding some of his knowledge of history to her false narrative.
	But even he points out, quote, when he says in his book, Liberty is Sweet, he says that Hannah Jones, quote, vastly exaggerates the size and the strength of the British abolition movement in the years before the revolution.
	Again, there wasn't any real abolition movement, certainly not in politics.
	That act, by the way, that was put in going back to 1673 was called for 100 years.
	They had the Test Act, which says that you cannot be a member of Parliament if you are not a member of the Church of England.
	Because politics and religion were so united.
	And that's a big part of the story of what happened at Plymouth Rock.
	So... But they said this, and I think this is interesting.
	If there is a historical parallel to be drawn between Dunmore's order and later events, it is not Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, but rather the desperate actions of the Confederate adversaries.
	What she makes, the case that she tries to make, is that Dunmore was trying to do a Lincoln Emancipation Proclamation.
	Because it was part of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation to Say, if you will fight with us, then we will set you free.
	Right? So that was Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
	And that was essentially what this British royal governor had offered after it had already started.
	That was not the cause of the revolution.
	But the interesting thing is, and they pointed out in reason, they said it wasn't Lincoln who freed the slaves.
	It was Jefferson Davis who It was General Order No.
	14. The measure called for the enlistment of colored persons into the Confederate Army with provisions to accept any male slave with his own consent and with the approbation of his master by a written instrument conferring as he may the rights of a freedman.
	You see, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave.
	The Emancipation Proclamation specifically listed which states he was going to free slaves.
	They were the states that he determined to be in rebellion that had seceded.
	He did not free any slaves in Ohio or Missouri or West Virginia, places that were still under his control, where he could have freed them.
	That did not happen until the 13th Amendment.
	That was passed over Lincoln's dead body.
	After he died. What Lincoln did with the Emancipation Proclamation, he said, in 100 days, if you have not returned to the Union, these states, if the states have not returned to the Union within the 100 days of this proclamation, then he was going to declare the slaves could be free and they could join the Union Army and have their freedom.
	And that's what he did there.
	So what he was doing was...
	He was making an offer to the Confederate States, and it wasn't the only time that he had done it.
	If you return to the Union, we will enshrine slavery in your states in perpetuity.
	It'll always be there.
	So we'll let you keep slavery forever if you return.
	And they said no. They said no.
	He did it again with the Emancipation Proclamation.
	You do it within 100, you come back within 100 days, You can keep your slaves.
	Otherwise, we're going to declare them free.
	They can fight for the Union.
	And that was exactly what the British governor, Dunmore, was doing.
	But the reality is, is that it was, ironically, Jefferson Davis, who, in an act of desperation, It came up with this compromise, hey, if you want to fight for us, we'll set you free.
	Same thing, Lincoln and the British governor were doing, we'll set you free if you want to fight for us.
	That is the twisted history that is being put out to people by the 1619 Project, because the motivation is not to discover what happened.
	The motivation is not to go back into history and say, what did they do right?
	What did they do wrong?
	What can we learn from their example?
	No, the motivation was and is to destroy our society, the very basis of our society, the foundation of our society.
	See, our society is not based on the cities that we've built or the military that we have.
	The foundation of our society is ideas, commonly held ideas, aspirations, values.
	That's what they want to destroy.
	They want to tell us that there's nothing of any value that can be salvaged out of American history.
	And of course, that is patently absurd.
	There is something in everybody's life of value that you can learn from.
	Sometimes the good outweighs the bad, sometimes the bad outweighs the good, but there's always something of value that you can learn from.
	The purpose of this is to tear down our society just as they've torn down monuments to everything, everywhere they go.
	They're Marxists.
	They are Jacobin socialists.
	They want a French Revolution-style system.
	And they will do it if we can't stop them, and if we can't oppose them, and if we can't shut down what they have to say with the truth.
	The truth about the good aspirations of this country.
	That's why we always focused on Plymouth Rock.
	The best aspirations of this country.
	The amazing providence of God and how he providentially put them there, kept them there, had arranged for an Indian who had been captured in slavery by Spanish people, then sold into England.
	And as part of that, a priest teaching him about agriculture, a businessman in England teaching him English, And then accompanying them back and staying in that area, the area had all of his family was wiped out.
	But Squanto was when these people land at this place, way off coast.
	They're trying to get to Virginia. They got pushed by a storm up there and could not get out.
	They tried for days to get out of there.
	They kept getting pushed back and pushed back and pushed back.
	When they realize they can't go anywhere, they write the Mayflower Compact.
	They go to land, and what do they find?
	They find an Indian who walks up to them speaking perfect English, and he happens to know about agriculture, and they know absolutely nothing about agriculture.
	It's one of the reasons why they nearly starved to death.
	Their only motivation in going there was for religious freedom, and God honored that.
	But the motivations of some of these people behind the 1619 Project and the people who are designing critical race theory, this law professor who designed the critical race theory, Is now charging $100,000 per lecture.
	I mean, what does Kimberly Crenshaw?
	A professor at UCLA and Columbia Law School.
	Does she know the Clintons or something?
	I mean, this sounds like a Clinton deal.
	You know, you give a speech and you get $100,000 for this?
	$100,000 for in-person speaking appearances and $50,000 if she zooms in with a virtual appearance.
	According to a report from the Daily Mail.
	Well, I don't charge for these lectures.
	It's all voluntary.
	So we will take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	The Common Man. . .
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common paths to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

	Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	TheDavidKnightShow.com Everything turned,
	turned, turned There is a season turned, turned, turned At a daytime to a figure A time to be born,
	a time to die, a time to plan, a time to reap, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to laugh, a time to reap.
	The fourth turning is due to begin shortly after the new millennium, midway through the 00 decade.
	About the year 2005, a sudden spark will catalyze a crisis mood.
	Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate.
	Political and economic trust will implode.
	Real hardship will beset the land with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation, and empire.
	The very survival of the nation will feel at stake.
	Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II. The basis of this prediction is a cyclical view of history that Strauss and Howe discovered by going back through American and English history back to the mid-1400s.
	And they discovered that just as we have seasons of weather, we have seasons of society.
	And just as we don't know the exact date that winter is going to come, or whether it's going to be a harsh or a mild winter, we do know that it's going to follow fall, and we do know the approximate time that it's going to come.
	We take a close look at the rhythms of American history, and in our book we make the following big prediction, that beginning about ten years from now, America is due to enter an era of crisis, an era of political and social upheaval, That will last around 20 years or so until the late 2020s.
	We call this era a fourth turning, and we think it's going to be a big threshold for the history of our nation.
	It's going to be something on par with World War II and the Great Depression, or going back the length of a human lifespan before then, the Civil War, or going back the length of another human lifespan, the American Revolution.
	It could be a time of tragedy or a time of great opportunity.
	What they found was that societies go through four phases of high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis.
	Humans go through four phases of life, childhood, young adult, midlife, and elderhood.
	And they notice generations where people have shared experiences and attitudes are spaced about 20 years apart.
	And generations are shaped by where their childhood falls within the phases of society.
	Now this got my attention because I noticed there was a repeating pattern of about 72 years between significant dates in American history as well as some other histories.
	For example, if you go from the time the U.S. Constitution was written in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War, 1861, that's 72 years.
	Another 72 years takes us to 1933, the beginning of the New Deal, another major transformation of American society.
	If you go another 72 years, that took us to about 2005, exactly where Strauss and Howe had predicted a major crisis and change would occur.
	And in addition, if you look at the Russian Revolution, from 1917 to 1989 was about 72 years.
	So it seemed to fit with the life cycle of humans.
	In a cycle, four generations, 20 years apart, are shaped by when their childhood falls within that cycle.
	And the names they use in their book, The Fourth Turning, come from the biblical account of Exodus.
	For example, you have one generation as a prophet generation.
	Now think of Moses calling a generation to change.
	The next generation, the nomad generation, wandering in the wilderness, a period of crisis and restlessness.
	The following generation would be a hero generation.
	Think of the Joshua generation taking a promised land.
	That often involves a major war.
	And then finally, an artist generation.
	The generation that builds a new society.
	Well, where does Strauss and Howe think that we are in this cycle?
	The researchers see the millennial generation, those born between 1982 to 2004, as the hero generation.
	And they see our society entering a fourth turning, a crisis period where society will be fundamentally transformed as it was with the American Revolution, the Civil War, or the New Deal.
	And the last time we faced a fourth turning was the Great Depression and World War II. Strauss and Howe's predictions of 22 years ago now look prescient.
	We can see the storm surge coming in our society at our time, just as if a hurricane was approaching the shore.
	Now, our government has been undermining the foundations of liberty for a long time.
	And the question is, will you be a sandbag to help hold up and protect liberty, or will you stand by as it gets swept away and we enter a new dark age of authoritarianism?
	I've been talking about this for a long time.
	That's about 10 years old.
	And so, as you heard Strauss and Hell, these guys, as time goes on, it's amazing how much more prescient that book looks in his 1997 interview.
	He's saying, yeah, we're saying in maybe about 10 years, you know, this is going to happen.
	That would be 2007.
	He didn't say maybe. He said in 10 years.
	Yeah. 2007 to 2008.
	What happened then? It was a global Great Recession, they called it.
	He says there's going to be something economic that's going to happen, and it's going to have worldwide consequences.
	And of course, all the different countries are now synchronized because of globalism.
	We're all now synchronized on the same time frame.
	These dates matter, Hannah Jones.
	They really do. I would trust these guys far more than Julie Green.
	They didn't claim to have any word from the Lord, as she does, and she constantly gets it wrong.
	They did a lot of research in history, went back 500 years, looking at patterns.
	And we see that, don't we?
	We see life cycles in human beings, and he talks about, you know, look, if you are a generation that is born right after there's been the massive upheaval, right after World War II, The boomer generation.
	You're going to see things differently than somebody who comes along and society is at a different stage.
	And this is why this thing continues to repeat.
	And they went back 500 years in American and British history to see these cycles.
	That happened about 70 to 80 years apart.
	And so the reason I bring this up is because I saw this article from John Rubino.
	He's got a Substack article, but you can also find it on Zero Hedge.
	He says, gold and the shrinking trust horizon.
	What is the trust horizon?
	Well, as he points out, and that's why I went back and played this fourth turning thing again for you, because it's the loss of trust in institutions, because the institutions have gone through their life cycle, and they're dying, quite frankly.
	We see this in every institution.
	All of our institutions are dying.
	And not just in America, in every country.
	They're all dying.
	They're senile.
	They're dying. They're like Joe Biden.
	They don't function anymore.
	And he says, last week I posted an article on the implosion of the official vaccine narrative.
	He says, a few readers expressed the wish that I would stay in my lane, talking about precious metals investing, and that I would avoid venturing into unrelated, less well-understood territory.
	He said, but believe it or not, the public health establishment losing its credibility is related to precious metals because of the trust horizon.
	You see, these people who have been so instrumental in turning in our, you know, destroying our society, kicking off another step of this, they have played this card of do what the experts say.
	I am science.
	If you question me, you're questioning science.
	Do they have any, have they not, you know, chopped, shredded, and burned trust in institutions to the nth degree?
	Well, that's what John Rubino was saying, and I agree with him.
	I think that's right. I think nobody has done more to destroy the credibility of our institutions than these people who are pushing this pandemic lockdown.
	He says it works like this.
	We vaccinate ourselves and our kids according to the schedules set by the NIH or the CDC. We pop pills on our doctor's orders without doing any research.
	We eat processed food on the assumption that the FDA keeps them free of dangerous attitudes.
	And we believe what we see on cable news.
	In other words, our trust horizon is defined as the distance from ourselves at which we will believe what we're told.
	And our trust horizon is global.
	We assume that everything, everywhere, is working for our benefit.
	And we're thus willing to put our welfare in those distant hands.
	But let some big systems fail to take proper care of us.
	And we pull back and we find people and institutions closer to home that we can see People and institutions that we can see and judge firsthand.
	So we move our money out of distant banks and brokers into local credit unions whose managers live down the street.
	We start buying groceries from farmers markets.
	We're directly from local farmers.
	And instead of popping whatever pill is standard for our ailments, we look into food as medicine.
	And we look at other lifestyle remedies like exercise, supplements, meditation.
	We homeschool our kids.
	We join gun clubs.
	We buy homesteads.
	We start raising chickens.
	That's what we have to do here.
	We start raising chickens.
	So where are today's Americans on the Trust Horizon Spectrum?
	You know, it's one of the things that he didn't do is talk about buying gold.
	I mean, this is a guy who sells precious metals, but he's, you know, he's staying away from that for a moment.
	And, you know, again, that is, that's where this all ties.
	As the institutions are failing, you start pulling back more and more locally.
	I'm not going to trust these people far away.
	These systems, the supply chains of trust are failing, right?
	Not just the actual supply chains, but the supply chains of trust.
	So, going back to it, he says, so where are we today?
	On the trust horizon spectrum.
	Well, the military-industrial complex is starting, potentially, nuclear wars all over the place.
	The government debt is growing exponentially.
	Wall Street has turned the markets into one big casino.
	Universities have become very expensive, insane asylums.
	The University of Arkham Asylum.
	Congress, a lot of jokers there, too.
	Congress is full of insider traders who amass fortunes while quote-unquote serving the public.
	You'll find out that that is actually a cookbook, just like the Twilight Zone.
	Anyway, our president's, well, insert your own sarcastic phrase here.
	He goes on to say, it's safe to say that for a growing number of disillusioned people, trust now extends to maybe the governor's mansion, I don't know.
	City Hall, local farmers and their church, and one or two community banks, and that's about it.
	That's about it.
	So he says, where does gold come in?
	Again, Tony Ardenman, I trust Tony.
	I've known him for a long time.
	And a lot of people have entrusted to Tony.
	And he's got a system where, you know, on a monthly basis, you can sign up and start saving just a little bit.
	That's the key thing. You know, one of the difficulties about getting started with any of these things is trying to do too much at once.
	I've interviewed many people.
	Who have talked about, you know, people want to start their own farming, raising their own vegetables and stuff like that.
	And then he said, well, I tell people, start out something very, very simple.
	Do one thing. Don't try to do a whole bunch of things.
	Just do one thing. Make it simple.
	And then as you start to learn how to do this, you can start to branch out to some other things.
	He said, the reason most people fail is because they try to do too much at once.
	So the simple thing to do is to start to prepare with money that you hold.
	You know, I talk about, I've had interviews with Senator Frank Nicely.
	I had one interview with him.
	I hope to get him back again to talk about this.
	But he's the guy who is spearheaded here in Tennessee.
	The idea of setting up a state bank.
	And he's also been involved with the establishment of a metals depository here in Tennessee as well.
	That'd be pretty interesting if both of those things happened.
	You got a couple of states that have a metals depository.
	You got one state that's got a state bank.
	That's North Dakota.
	But to have both of those in one state, that would be a big move.
	To bring things local.
	Because the trust horizon and the supply chains of trust are not working too well.
	So we want to get all these things local.
	Furthermore, to have the ability to have a system that is distancing itself from the Federal Reserve.
	These types of nullification, of parallel society, these things are all very useful.
	But even if you have a state-run metals depository, or actually in this case they're talking about having it as a private company that would run it with some assistance from the state and oversight from the state and that type of thing, I still wouldn't trust that.
	It would be nice to start to normalize that.
	That would be the value.
	You might have a little bit in that.
	And keep a lot of the other stuff personally, yourself.
	But as you start to do that, people start to understand that they can use gold and silver, that they're real money, and they start to literally buy into the system.
	That would be the big advantage of having a state metals depository.
	Put some of it there. You might be able to write checks and make payments right on your gold deposits that are there.
	But ultimately, you know, money is what you have yourself.
	And it's something that doesn't depend on other people.
	And he mentions that when he talks about counterparty risk.
	Rubino says, we're trying to eliminate by owning your own gold and silver.
	You're trying to eliminate counterparty risk.
	Well, what does that mean?
	That means somebody else that you've got to trust.
	Somebody else has made a promise about what they're going to do and you hope that they do it.
	That's the risk of having another party involved in that.
	So where does gold come in in this trust horizon?
	He said, the biggest of the big systems that the experts have failed to manage is money.
	If we can't trust the monetary authorities to maintain the value of the dollar...
	And they have shown emphatically that they cannot or will not.
	Then we need other forms of money to trust, and that would be gold and silver, the forms of money that disillusioned people have been running to since literally before the Roman Empire.
	For your dollars to hold their value, the Fed must keep the money supply under control.
	For your bank account to work, your bank has to stay solvent.
	Likewise for your brokerage house.
	But gold and silver have no counterparty risks.
	No one must keep a promise for them to stay valuable.
	They are what they are, regardless of the behavior of the world's so-called experts.
	And again, that's why I say, you know, start small.
	Well, The Wolfpack program that he's got, you can start with $50.
	And something that you just buy on a regular basis to start building some insurance, to start building some independence.
	That's the whole point.
	Is to try to get your independence from the system that is literally falling apart everywhere.
	Everywhere. I hate to be negative, but let's be realistic about this.
	So he says, this way you can draw a direct line from the vaccine mess to gold and silver coins and to bars that are stored in a safe place and the line is getting thicker and stronger with every new scandal.
	He says, so now you know why the experts hate precious metals and why regular people rediscover them every few generations.
	And that's the time that we're in right now.
	So again, Tony has set up davidknight.gold and you can buy it in a number of ways.
	You can buy it as a gradual thing with a wolf pack.
	Rick Fife, thank you very much.
	He says, Proverbs 30, 11, there's a generation who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
	That's what we're looking at right now, isn't it?
	There's a generation who are pure in their own opinion and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
	There is a generation whose eyes are so lofty and whose eyelids are lifted up so disdainfully.
	There is a generation whose teeth are like swords.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Well, that is...
	That is a time we're living in, isn't it?
	Everything, there's a season.
	And to, under heaven.
	Now, Paul Craig Roberts...
	Talking about, you know, he's looking at what happened with his pronouncement by the Saudi finance minister at Davos that I reported on a couple of weeks ago when they were holding their meeting.
	That's the World Economic Forfeiture Group, or if we want to look at it as the World Economic Foreclosure, as one listener suggested.
	Maybe people understand that better.
	I don't have a contract with them, but they're going to try to steal it from us like civil asset forfeiture.
	But anyway, the Saudi finance minister speaking at Davos said, well, you know, we're going to be selling our oil with Chinese currency.
	And of course, we'll have other, it'll be one of many that we'll be using and, you know, There's other countries like the U.S. will also be using some of their stuff.
	Well, that's a big, big change because it's been exclusively the U.S. That's been the basis of the petrodollar.
	Paul Craig Roberts, of course, was U.S. Assistant Secretary for the Treasury for Economic Policy during the Reagan administration.
	He knows what he's talking about.
	He said in an article that he published on Monday, he said the end of the petrodollar will have severe adverse effects.
	And, of course, our government, as we've seen, doesn't care about severe adverse effects.
	Are we talking about vaccines?
	Are we talking about finance?
	It'll have severe adverse effects on the value of the dollar as well as on U.S. inflation and on interest rates.
	It's going to throw a great big monkey wrench into that printing press machine.
	They don't have that.
	They're just generating numbers, right?
	So that was because of the announcement for half a century.
	The petrodollar has propped up the value of the U.S. dollar.
	It has allowed us to operate without any accountability.
	And that's about to change.
	It's going to be very serious consequences for us as individuals.
	Elon Musk is continuing his talk about wanting to compete with Apple and PayPal in terms of payment processing.
	And if you remember, how did he become wealthy?
	His very first big success was by creating an online bank.
	At the time, it was called the X.com.
	So he was co-founder of X.com.
	It was the first of the online banks.
	He did it back in 1999.
	X.com then merged with PayPal.
	And they renamed it with PayPal.
	Peter Thiel and Musk and all of them putting that together.
	So he's done this type of thing before.
	And he has said... That he wants Twitter to offer financial technical services like peer-to-peer transactions, savings accounts, debit cards, all the rest of the stuff.
	He has a history of doing that.
	He made a lot of money doing that with PayPal.
	And he pointed out in November when he was talking to Twitter advertisers in a Twitter Spaces event, he said that's what he wanted to do.
	And he's got a department that is assigned to it, Esther Crawford.
	As Twitter's director of product management, she's been tasked with creating the framework for the new system.
	So it is absolutely going to be there.
	And I point out that it's going to be essential for its financial survival as well because Twitter's revenue dropping so precipitously because of advertiser boycotts because he's not censoring enough.
	And the EU has had not one but three different people Contact him directly.
	One of them flew to Austin.
	You've seen the groveling that Elon Musk did when the guy said, you will censor who we tell you to do.
	Once this Digital Services Act, the DSA, comes into effect this summer, you will be censoring people or we're going to extract 6% of your annual revenues from you.
	You know that he's going to do this.
	Whether you're talking about Tim Cook at Apple or you're talking about Elon Musk, they do whatever they are told.
	Whether the person giving the orders is she or if it's DC, they will do what they're told by the governments in order to make billions of dollars.
	So you know that is coming.
	And when you look at that context, how far away are we from, you know, just as we've seen with PayPal, Being allowed to prosper, to operate PayPal is putting out the orders of these various governments.
	Why is it that I got canceled by PayPal and owned by PayPal as well?
	Only four months into this program.
	It wasn't because I was having such a big impact, but it was because they knew what I was doing.
	As we look at these statements about how the 77th Brigade out of the UK was focused on individuals who were critical, they were focused and following even people who were asking questions out of fear.
	But if you had a definite opinion, And if you could go back and show a timeline and a plan and the practicing of the plan for 20 years before they enacted it, oh, that puts you on a special list, right?
	And the U.S. is doing the same thing.
	As a matter of fact, some more documents have come out to show that's exactly what they were doing.
	So you have the police state, even the military intelligence looking at this, identifying the people who are debunking their lies, telling you the truth about what their plans are.
	And so when I look at this and I look at Twitter, what do you think he's going to do?
	You know that he's going to, as a matter of fact, things are worse for me now on Twitter than ever before.
	I post some videos up, but I very rarely say anything there.
	Just social media in general.
	People want to know what I have to think?
	They can come watch this program.
	But, you know, soundbites are highly overrated, although necessary.
	And we'll talk about that in a moment when we talk about this big pushback on a He Gets Us campaign.
	This... Christian organization, I guess, that is going to be spending a billion dollars on this soundbites and little 30-second commercials to convince people that Jesus was all about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Yeah, that's the purpose of him coming.
	Biden poses an electric car, packing a higher carbon footprint than a gas-powered SUV. Biden had his picture taken in an electric Hummer.
	One of the most extravagant vehicles on the planet that you can get.
	Wasteful in terms of energy, wasteful in terms of expense.
	As a matter of fact, the battery alone, an electric Hummer, is 2,900 pounds.
	That's about one and a half times more than my entire car.
	A little Miata. The battery weighs more than a Honda Civic, they point out, and it weighs a lot more than a Miata.
	Biden went on Twitter on Monday to show him grinning.
	I think he's got his face mask on, but at least in this picture, I don't know if this is, yeah, that's January the 30th, 2023.
	Looks like he's got a face mask under his chin.
	What is he doing with that thing?
	What year does he think this is?
	I mean, does he not know this is 2023?
	Does he not know that he himself has said that the pandemic is over, but he's still got a mask that he's got strapped on his ears and under his chin?
	Anyway... He got on Twitter to promote his administration's new electric vehicle tax credits he posed in a car which is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions on average than smaller gas-powered cars, as a daily caller.
	Roughly 60% of power generated in the U.S. is generated by burning fossil fuels.
	So, I mean, they're not even looking in this article, they're not even looking...
	At, you know, the energy that goes into creating the car.
	They're just looking at the energy that goes into propelling the car after you've got it.
	And guess what? It's the energy, stupid.
	You know? James Carville said, yes, the economy's stupid.
	Well, it's the energy, stupid, because when something weighs more, it takes more energy to move it.
	And ultimately, that energy has to be generated somewhere, somehow.
	And all these people who want to say that the world is going to be saved if everybody's driving a battery electric vehicle, they're ignoring a lot of things.
	First of all, it's not going to work.
	It's designed to fail. They don't have sufficient capacity.
	They're shutting the capacity that they've got down.
	And they don't have sufficient minerals to do all this stuff because they don't want everybody to have a car.
	That's why no solution is allowed except a battery electric car.
	I don't really care. I don't really care what cars people buy.
	I don't care how much their vehicle weighs.
	I don't care whether this is powered by electricity or by internal combustion.
	But I do care when they've designed a single solution and they're going to force that single solution on you.
	And you can see that that single solution is not a solution to our transportation.
	It's a solution to them and how they're going to take everything away from us, especially private cars.
	That's the purpose of making sure that nothing other than a battery operated car will get any attention, will get any subsidies.
	They're going to shut down any research on anything else.
	Look, you can talk about everything that is out there.
	There isn't anything that has been invented by man that doesn't have some positive points and some negative points.
	But they don't want anything to be improved.
	That is in competition to us.
	And we've seen this as well with the pandemic, you know.
	Internal combustion engines are the ivermectin of transportation.
	We should put that down on a t-shirt.
	Anyway, Biden was photographed in this car.
	And now here's, just looking at the fuel, this massive thing.
	It weighs 9,000 pounds.
	I had an electrical engineering professor who lectured us on the wasteful use of energy in transportation.
	He's one of these guys who wanted everybody riding a bicycle, right?
	He says, why are we wrapping ourselves in vehicles that weigh a ton?
	Well, this weighs four and a half tons.
	We've only gotten more inefficient in this.
	341 grams of carbon dioxide per mile.
	Because you look at the fact that 60% of the power generated in the U.S. is generated by burning fossil fuels.
	And there's other ways to look at this as well.
	Because India and China have no restrictions on their emissions whatsoever, they can build and do build as many coal power plants as they wish.
	And there is no requirement for how dirty or clean those power plants have to be.
	And so in India, they are so dirty...
	That you could drive an internal combustion engine that gets 34 miles per gallon, and you would have fewer emissions than an electric car that charged off of the grid that was powered by these dirty, old, cheap power plants.
	They can be made clean.
	You don't have to just shut them all down.
	Just like we don't have to shut down all the farms because there's some nitrogen that gets into the water and causes algae blooms or things like that.
	We don't have to shut down all the farms.
	If that is a real thing, or even if it's not a real thing, we could appease them by cleaning that up.
	It makes everything more expensive, and it's a shame to make everything unnecessarily expensive, but you don't have to shut the farm down.
	And that shows that their intentions are malicious.
	If they really were just stupid about climate change, they'd be forcing on us solutions that make everything more expensive.
	But they are not stupid.
	They're malicious.
	They're shutting them down completely.
	No solution will be allowed.
	So, 341 grams of carbon dioxide per mile, according to the American Council for Energy Efficient Economy.
	Same people said...
	That when they looked at a Toyota RAV4 SUV or a BMW 3 sedan, the electric Hummer uses 17% more grams of carbon dioxide per mile.
	When you look at the Toyota Corolla, the Hummer EV uses 70 more grams.
	That's 26% more.
	Now again, their standard, their metric of comparison and what they're trying to do, that's complete nonsense.
	I don't care about CO2. You shouldn't care about CO2 either.
	We're just pointing this out because that's their metric, their standard, their ruler by which they measure everything.
	But there's other measures, of course.
	Dollars. The Hummer EV costs $110,000.
	That's the Hummer EV pickup.
	Well, you compare that to the upper limit for other pickup trucks.
	It'd be $80,000. That'd be tricked out with everything, right?
	Or you could compare it to the price of that Honda Civic that weighs less than the batteries for this Hummer EV pickup.
	And that's two and a half to three times the price of that Honda Civic.
	I'm not in the market for cars.
	I haven't been for a while, so I'm not sure exactly.
	But it's going to be somewhere in the 20s, maybe up to 30 or so.
	But, you know, let's just say 30-ish, right?
	So, Biden is committed to lowering the cost of electric vehicles for all Americans and bringing more affordable electric vehicles onto the markets than a White House spokesperson.
	How is that affordable?
	$110,000?
	How is that environmentally, how does that measure up with their stated goals?
	When it uses, what, 25, 30% more?
	26% more of the thing that they want to measure put out there.
	The 9,000 pound Hummer EV pickup.
	The 2,900 pound battery.
	These batteries are seldom recycled due to time and costs and due to the cobalt Okay, here's what happens.
	It goes from slave labor...
	Child slave labor, getting these cobalt materials that come out of the Democratic Republic of Congo almost exclusively.
	So you go from child slave labor, children of color, by the way.
	They don't care about that either.
	So you go from child slave labor to landfills that are filled with toxic waste.
	When you take a look at what's going on with the batteries.
	Isn't it interesting, too, that the EPA has gone full circle?
	You know, the EPA was created by Nixon and its initial justification for existence, even though there was no justification in the Constitution for Richard Nixon to create something like that.
	No constitutional justification whatsoever for the EPA like most of these swamp creations.
	But the EPA was about cleaning up toxic waste.
	These super funds and all the rest of the stuff.
	Oh, we got this big pollution and it is so big that the states don't have the money to do it.
	But, you know, we got this spanking new petrodollar that Kissinger just arranged for us with the Saudis.
	And we don't have to worry about how much money we spend.
	So we'll create the EPA. The EPA will create super funds and the Federal Reserve will start printing credits.
	And we can clean all this stuff up.
	Well, fine. That's how it all began.
	As I pointed out many times, I worked with David Schneier who worked for the EPA from its inception for 30 years and then retired and got out of it and opposed them.
	Why? Because their mission changed from cleaning up toxic waste dumps To shutting down our society on the basis of emissions.
	And now it's gone full circle.
	Because the EPA is focused on shutting down anything that has any emissions, whether or not those emissions are harmful, they have gone full circle from child slave labor to creating toxic landfills.
	But they were created to stop in the first place.
	Isn't that interesting? I think that's kind of interesting.
	Sitting in traffic for just two hours can lead to brain damage.
	This is study finds, and this is put out by the Drudge Report, establishment media.
	And what they're saying is it's not brain damage due to stress of sitting in traffic.
	It does do that to me.
	It also, I find that it doesn't have respiratory issues for me.
	It has stress and heart issues for me to be in traffic.
	One of the reasons why I got out of Austin.
	But to detox from the stress.
	But no, what they're talking about here is that breathing in diesel exhaust fumes while sitting in traffic could be disastrous for your brain.
	We're going back To what I was reporting on 10 years ago, where the EPA in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, was conducting these investigations.
	Again, the people I was working with, David Schneer and Steve Malloy at JunkScience.com.
	Steve Malloy was the one who found it.
	He saw that the EPA was running these tests, and they had people that they were taking to the hospital.
	They had pre-selected for people who had respiratory and heart issues.
	Then... We fed them diesel fumes at 70 times what the EPA said was allowed.
	And they wanted people to get sick.
	The interesting thing about it was not that many people got sick, even if they had pre-existing conditions of respiratory issues.
	But they were feeding them unfiltered, fine particulate matter.
	They would take out the carbon monoxide, but they'd basically hook up a diesel tailpipe to these people.
	And they were doing these experiments at their campus, Research Triangle Park in North Carolina.
	And this was happening at the same time that Obama's head of the EPA, Lisa Jackson, and then Congressman, now Senator Ed Markey, had arranged for this little dog and pony thing.
	Lisa Jackson said, more people are dying from fine particulate matter than are dying from cancer and from heart disease.
	And it was a total lie. And while she was saying that, her department was exposing people who already had pre-existing conditions to 70 times the concentration that they said was allowed.
	Total fraud.
	And so now this article is to try to get people afraid of emissions in that same way.
	Same type of thing.
	Well, I think that sitting in traffic is a difficult thing, not because of exhaust.
	You know, I don't see anybody other than me with their windows down anymore.
	Everybody's got their windows up and they got, you know, the air conditioning is filtering it and recycling the air in there.
	That's not an issue. You know, I smell it when I take the top and the windows down, the convertible.
	But the thing that bothers me is the traffic.
	And one of the reasons that we came to Tennessee was because there were no tolls here.
	Tennessee was, it's just not, that was not the major reason that we would come here.
	But it was another, well, that's good, and that's good, and that's good.
	And the fact that they had, that, you know, here in Tennessee, it's one of only 14 states that don't have any toll roads.
	Well, the governor wants to change that.
	Now, I'm not happy about that.
	And I need to get Senator Frank Nicely on, because not only was he pushing He seems to be a good guy.
	He's not only pushing for a state bank and state metal depository and things like that, but he is number two on the committee that oversees transportation.
	And he's not happy about the toll roads either.
	And so maybe he can do something about it.
	We hope so. But, you know, what I've seen in Austin, they don't build anything anymore but toll roads.
	They will not alleviate traffic.
	People keep on moving in, keep on building houses and everything, but we're not going to widen the roads.
	We will narrow the roads.
	That's what they did in a major thoroughfare there.
	They took out some of the center section and added toll lanes and things like that, but they didn't widen the road because you don't have the room to do that.
	As Elon Musk correctly pointed out, with this boring project, you've got to go vertical.
	If the cities are going to go vertical, you've got to go vertical.
	So they can either go down underground or you can go above ground or something like that.
	But they're not interested in doing anything to alleviate the traffic problems.
	As a matter of fact, if you want to have a traffic jam, you go somewhere where the state of Texas is working on a toll road.
	They take years and years to finish it.
	And it creates an unbelievable traffic jam while it is under construction.
	And then it only gets worse when they open it up.
	Because when they open it up, they have put additional traffic lights.
	Everywhere to force you onto the toll roads.
	I hate them.
	Now, the Tennessee governor is calling these things choice lanes.
	Choice in the sense that they use that term about vaccines.
	We're not forcing anybody to do this, you know.
	This is your choice.
	You can choose to have a vaccine or not have a job.
	Or not travel.
	Or not go to school. Or not get a transplant.
	You know, all these other things.
	I mean, that is not choice.
	That's coercion. These are not choice lanes.
	They're coercion lanes.
	So, the reality of what is happening here, and some people have already pointed this out, Governor Bill Lee is setting examples of But they're not good examples for Tennessee.
	They may be good examples for the globalist agenda.
	One person said he's right and righteous when he brags about Tennessee's status as the lowest tax rate per capita in the nation, the lowest debt rate per capita in the nation, the fastest growing economy of all 50 states, but it looks like he's focusing his second term on the UN 2030 agenda and the Great Reset.
	Caitlin Housler, the Tennessee Star, said the governor highlighted five specific areas that he intends to focus on during his second term as governor.
	Transportation, energy, natural resource, conservation, environment preservation, And protecting children in the state's foster care through the adoption process.
	What? CPS is a focus for him?
	CPS is involved in...
	Got to be careful about these adoption systems.
	They can turn into kidnappings.
	But the rest of the stuff.
	Transportation, energy, natural resources, environmental issues.
	See the trend here?
	His Transportation Modernization Act of 2023 is an effort to address transportation needs across the state, he said in a speech.
	And so he said that he and the guy who is head of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the commissioner, Butch Ellie, said that this does not propose raising the gas tax For issuing road debt, it does not spend a disproportionate amount of funds on urban areas to the detriment of rural areas.
	It does not reduce road and bridge maintenance budget.
	It does not propose toll roads.
	Oh, really? But they're choice lanes.
	And who did they choose to do this with?
	The choice lanes are going to be part of a public-private partnership.
	We know what those are.
	That's economic fascism.
	We know what happens and we know who they partner with.
	They partner with big corporations, in many cases, foreign corporations.
	It is crony capitalism, writ large.
	That's what private-public partnerships are about.
	And it is the very definition of economic fascism, the merger of government and corporations.
	As I point out in this Tennessee Star article, these can include any corporations, national, multinational, transnational.
	Non-governmental organizations can also be included, like the Sierra Club or whatever.
	You can have foundations like the Ford Foundation or the Rockefeller Foundation.
	They can be a part of this public-private partnership.
	It can also include Facebook or Meta, if you want to call them that, or Big Pharma, as we've seen, right?
	Public-private partnership.
	Well, as I said, when Trump called his kickoff of universal basic income, you know, the PPP Act, I said, well, that's an interesting choice of initials, public-private partnership, because he was shutting down the small businesses, And enabling the big businesses, oh, what the PPP was supposed to do the opposite, right?
	But the reality is that not even counting the fraud, you had, by the redefinition of what a small business is, not somebody that has 500 employees or fewer, but somebody who has 500 or fewer employees at a given location.
	So it was the big Wall Street companies that got the money.
	More than 50% of the money went to fewer than 5% of the corporations.
	So I said at the time, don't PPP down my back and tell me it's raining, quoting Josie Wales.
	Governor Lee is right that we need our highways and bridges to be improved.
	However, it's vitally important that local, state, and federal government agencies avoid calls to fund this massive effort through PPP. People have no say when PPPs are used.
	We need to use local businesses to do this.
	And unfortunately, during this presentation, the guy who's a commissioner for the Department of Transportation started talking about smart this and smart that.
	We know what that's about, don't we?
	And when they start calling smart cities and smart meters and all the rest of the stuff, well, you know, you better grab your wallet and your gun because these people are coming for you.
	This technology needs to continue to increase so we can get smarter, and our Tennessee infrastructure needs to increase and to get smarter as well.
	That's a big red flag for me.
	Just like when you have these people who are trying to coerce us into doing something, calling it choice.
	That's another big red flag.
	SMART has been defined in some of these cases, when they put it in all uppercase.
	That stands for Specific Measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.
	But what it really means is that they're going to track and control you, just like the CBDC. CBDC, it's going to be smart cash, right?
	Yeah. Rather than issues that are on the 2030 agenda or the Great Reset, perhaps our governors could start cleaning up their past messes After the lockdown, destroyed all these small businesses, says this author. That's what they need to focus on.
	And so what did Lee, Governor Lee, do during COVID? Well, you know, he had orders to use the National Guard and the State Guard.
	We're going to have, and I covered this at the time, there was a lot of governors who did this.
	They issued orders saying, we're going to have a shortage of medical personnel.
	And this was three or four months before they started kicking people out of the hospitals for not getting the vaccine.
	And it was before you started having nurses and doctors dropping dead because they took the vaccine.
	But they knew there was going to be a shortage of personnel, so they said, well, we're going to start using the National Guard and people like that.
	And they will perform authorized diagnostic testing for COVID and healthcare settings, including but not limited to hospitals and emergency departments.
	They'll also do it at alternate care sites and other facilities.
	And so many of us said, well, is that going to be camps or something, like we saw in other countries?
	So, he appointed the people, the Marxists that are going around, tearing down historic statues in Tennessee.
	They were appointed by him.
	And when you look at what has happened with the lockdown, he was another one of these guys who went along with the flow.
	So many Republicans did.
	So, you know, even to the extent that they list in this article, they said, you know, back in May of 2019, May of 2019, well, that was also when Trump was saying, hey, they got to get the shots.
	No religious exemptions at the private religious schools and so forth.
	May of 2019, there were a couple of dozen governors who Who attended what was called, this is the way the people who put this together, the Chinese government put together a collaboration summit.
	That's what they called it. And they said it was going to be for exhaustive deal-making opportunities.
	That's kind of the way that they build Bilderberg.
	That's kind of the way they build Davos, isn't it?
	So again, it could be something that was innocent, but maybe not.
	And when you look at the people that were there, people like Gavin Newsom, Ducey, Hutchinson, Scott Reynolds, Raimondo, Ricketts, Kearney, Holcomb, Sisolak, Lee...
	As well as people like Brad Little, who betrayed everybody in Idaho, Governor Brown out of Oregon, Pritzker out of Illinois, Edwards out of LA, Abbott out of Texas, Waltz out of Minnesota, and on and on.
	Cooper out of North Carolina, Herbert out of Utah.
	It was about half of the governors went to this event.
	It was put on by the Chinese Communist government.
	It's just a business opportunity here, right?
	We've got lots of opportunities.
	So who do you think is going to be running?
	Most of these toll roads are run by a Spanish toll road company and have been.
	Anyway, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	They call it smart cities.
	Smart cities for gullible people.
	You have choice lanes to force people into the toll system because you're going to clog up everything else.
	That's the way it's done in Texas.
	And you have the Department of Transportation to restrict people's movements.
	You have the Patriot Act.
	You have all these different things.
	I mean, it's just everything they do is exactly the opposite of what they say it's about.
	Homeland Security? Well, you're not going to keep the homeland secure.
	You're going to create a police state, a security state under that.
	It's amazing, just like I said about DeSantis.
	You know, he's got the, what is it, Economic Opportunity Department or something.
	It's just Orwellian, you know, the Ministry of Love.
	Raising chickens for cheaper eggs gets expensive fast.
	They're trying to discourage you, Wall Street Journal is, from raising your own eggs and chickens and that sort of thing.
	Look, that's not the point.
	You know, just like when you talk about getting solar panels.
	It's not really an economic decision.
	It's a decision about independence, right?
	Freedom is not free.
	And you pay more to get outside of the system.
	You're gonna pay more to have clean food.
	You're gonna work more and pay more to grow your own clean food.
	You're gonna pay more to have a solar system that is off the grid.
	And you're paying for the independence of being free of the grid.
	It is an investment, if you will, an investment in independence.
	That's the way you need to look at all of these preparation things.
	But, of course, they're also hatching their own ideas.
	They want to bring back the dodo bird.
	I saw this.
	Oh, yeah. You go to somebody and say, I've got an idea.
	Let's bring back the dodo bird.
	Why would you want to do that?
	Don't you want to do that?
	A bird that is renowned, whether it's deserved or not, I don't know.
	But it has become the poster child for stupidity and for extinction.
	And so this is a company called Colossal Biosciences.
	They call it Colossal Biosciences because they had focused first on bringing back the woolly mammoth.
	Founded in 2021 by an entrepreneur and a Harvard geneticist.
	So they announced yesterday that they planned to resurrect the Dodo.
	But it gets a little bit more interesting because evidently, and I don't know where they got it, maybe they got some Dodo bones or something like that, but they said they fully sequenced the Dodo's genome for the first time.
	The person who is going to be in charge of the project, Beth Shapiro, A biologist at the University of Santa Cruz says that she has always been fascinated with the dodo.
	So they are not actually going to bring it back in its entirety, though.
	It will be something of a mixture.
	They call it a proxy.
	It will be edited DNA as opposed to an exact clone.
	So they're going to start out with some bird DNA. And then they're going to edit it to end of this.
	I just wonder what their egg production is and how big it is.
	Maybe we could raise dodos. I don't know.
	You know, one ostrich egg and we're done for the week.
	But I don't know about the dodos.
	There's a lot of animals out there that we could be grateful for.
	Are no longer around.
	Maybe these people have not seen Jurassic Park, or maybe they have.
	Every dystopian sci-fi film, people are now trying to reenact that in real life.
	That's the crazy thing.
	I'd rather they just go out and dress up like a period piece and do some LARPing, you know, live-action role-playing.
	Rather than actually inflicting these dystopian sci-fi films on us.
	Given that most cloning and gene editing technologies focus on mammals, Shapiro and her colleagues acknowledge that they'll need to be creative in their approach.
	So they have created something called the Avian Genomics Group.
	I'm really excited about advancing these new technologies, they said.
	Well, you know, they really do need to go back and read Michael Crichton's book.
	Because he makes it very clear that technology was advancing faster in genetics.
	It was advancing far faster than people were thinking about the consequences of what they were doing or the ethics of what they were doing.
	And, you know, the famous line, just because we can do it doesn't mean we should, that type of thing.
	But he makes it very, very explicitly clear in the preface to the book what he's concerned about and why he wrote that.
	But people ignore that, just like they ignore, well, they look at it as an aspiration.
	Let's create a big brother state.
	Let's create Jurassic Park.
	Let's create the brave new world.
	Danish defense chief has now called for female military conscription, drafting females into the military.
	And, of course, the justification for this is Putin, for everything, you know.
	I don't know. I'm just old-fashioned.
	I think that the purpose of the military is to defend.
	I think one of the key things that you're going to defend is women.
	Not to send them out to fight on your behalf.
	It's just amazing to see.
	If Putin wins this war, he's not going to stop.
	It'll be Denmark next.
	It's insanity.
	I'm sorry, I've lived through a war that was justified based on the domino theory.
	And it was a total lie.
	And it was admitted to that it was a total lie by McNamara who ran the thing through.
	He said, oh yeah, yeah.
	Gulf of Tonkin, that was a lie.
	Yeah, there was no domino theory.
	And I was lectured when I went back to North Vietnam.
	The guy who was sitting at the table stands up and bangs his fist on the table and goes, what's the matter with you Americans?
	Don't you know any history? Don't you know that for a thousand years we've been fighting the Chinese?
	We're not. And, you know, of course, now their big trading partner and, you know, cheap labor and multinational corporations are using them.
	Speaking of liars, George Santos now has his ex-boyfriend speaking out.
	He said lie.
	He gets caught on the lie and then he says another lie to cover up that lie.
	Says Pedro, his partner.
	Uh... He never showed that he was a psychopathic liar that he's showing out to be right now.
	Santos was 26 and Pedro was 18, he says, when Santos took up with him.
	He says his ego is too big to resign.
	Pedro also says that Santos stole his cell phone, sold it for cash, But the story that he finds most difficult to believe is that Santos' mom was in the South Tower during the 9-11 attacks.
	And of course, that's been debunked as impossible because she wasn't even in the country.
	She was living in Brazil at the time.
	Everything the guy says is a lie.
	And it's kind of interesting that as much as the left hates him, and I hate him as well, that the right is embracing him.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene and McCarthy.
	I mean, it's just, it's amazing to see what MTG has turned into.
	We talk about somebody that's schmoozing power, trying to work her way into the inside levers.
	It's pretty shameless at this point.
	And McCarthy himself is pretty shameless.
	He gave DeSantis, or not DeSantis, George Santos.
	Let's keep them separate here.
	He gave Santos committee assignments.
	He said, you know, people voted for him and they need to vote him out.
	I'm not going to throw him out. It's like, well, they voted for him on a stack of lies.
	He lied about everything. And so he assigned him committee assignments.
	Now, Santos has said that he will not serve on the House committees while the investigations are ongoing.
	Investigations into personal finances and campaign law violations.
	I mean, these are serious issues here.
	Apparently that's coming from Santos.
	It's not coming from McCarthy. McCarthy evidently has no issues with any of this stuff.
	It's absolutely insane to watch this unfold and just to see the overwhelming just corruption that is involved there.
	Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	All right, I want to thank Alan.
	Thank you for the tip on Rockfin.
	And he says, thank you.
	Well, thank you. I appreciate the support.
	I'll just remind people that we are also now on Rumble.
	And, you know, depending on which platform works better for you, I know that the tips work better for us on Rumble because...
	We don't have to go through Coinbase and transferring crypto stuff and everything.
	So there's an expense with all that as well as some uncertainty.
	We were just going to stop on Rockfin, but so many people were there that we thought, well, maybe we'll see if there's...
	That's some way that we can continue.
	Another part of the issue is the fact that I had to do an additional show.
	So we're trying to think of something creative that we can do that would not be as much of a burden to do the additional show.
	It's kind of the straw that's breaking my back, quite frankly.
	So, but we're gonna try to keep that going.
	And I do appreciate the support, but you may wanna try Rockfin.
	I'm sorry, Rumble.
	You may wanna try Rumble, we're there as well.
	And we're looking into Odyssey.
	We do stream at Odyssey and Twitter.
	Twitter has a lot of issues.
	So we are streaming at Odyssey.
	We're streaming at Rumble.
	We're looking into people being able to leave tips on Odyssey as well.
	But you can leave tips on Rumble if you wish.
	And thank people for their support wherever it is.
	You know, I talked about this the other day.
	This farmer, 57-year-old farmer, Decides that he wants to be a female and a figure skater and all the rest of the stuff.
	Oh, Babylon Bee did a great job of taking this on.
	Here he is, and he has competed in several different things, you know, in Finland.
	Pretty shaky on those skates there.
	Rookie trans woman picks the one sport where biological women actually have an advantage.
	Ha ha ha ha!
	The strategy was ill-advised because it involved a biological male picking the one sport where biological women have the natural advantage.
	Oh man, classic rookie mistake, said local gender surgeon.
	Everyone knows that if a biological man wants to dominate in a woman's sport, the last sport you want to choose is one that requires natural feminine grace and beauty, as you see.
	And the woman who, the natural woman, who is helping this farmer wearing a dress and pantyhose to get to his feet.
	I always recommend that my clients start with the discus or the shot put rather than with figure skating.
	Biological women are really bad at throwing stuff, says Bama B. At this point, it's unclear why he chose figure skating instead of a more sensible sport like weightlifting, MMA, or any of these other things.
	At publishing time, he was nominated for the newly created Nobel Prize in Falling with Style, Grace, and Symbolism of Our Common Human Struggle to Rise Up Against Patriarchal Oppression.
	Yes. So, um, he has actually been honored to The guy barely can skate.
	And they have given him honor after honor.
	That's how bad things have gotten in Europe.
	We have, in Tennessee again, pro-trans protesters disrupted rally against child sex changes in Tennessee.
	This is in Murfrees Bureau, Tennessee, that's a little bit south of Nashville.
	There was a rally called Teens Against Gender Mutilation.
	They were demonstrating against sex change operations for minors.
	Again, this guy's 57 years old, you know.
	Hopefully, he's thought this through.
	Hopefully, he has had some thoughtful discussions and some thoughtful counseling because any kind of surgery, stuff like that, or chemicals, it has big impacts on people.
	But, you know, he's an adult. He can make up his mind to do whatever he wants to, right?
	There was a Canadian doctor who, that was his specialty, was working with people, and he said, well, I think, you know, because the Canadian government provides health care to people, I think we ought to pay for their operations.
	But he said, nobody under the age of 21, and not for even an adult, unless they have lived like, you know, in their new desired identity for at least two years.
	And when he said that, he was canceled immediately.
	Off of social media and everything else, this guy had been, you know, an expert in this, had worked in that field for a long time.
	So anyway, in Tennessee, Murfreesboro, they assembled downtown in front of the city's library.
	Why? Well, because that has now become a grooming point.
	You know, the Drag Queen Library shows.
	Just amazing to think that's where we are now.
	Thank you, North American House Hippo.
	Thank you for the tip on Rumble.
	It says, Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity is the outfit that runs the state's unemployment system.
	Oh, they'd like to have everybody unemployed.
	Take the business license if you don't get the ID. After DeSantis went along with the lockdown, millions of Floridians were put in the poorhouse.
	Yeah, they're very busy now at the Department of Economic Opportunity taking care of the newly unemployed, locked out of their jobs.
	Going back to this, so at this rally, teens against gender mutilation rally, they had Chloe Cole, a young woman who's been around, talking about how she had attempted to transition into a man but is now detransitioning, how this is going to affect her for life, the damage done to her body, the damage done to her psychologically.
	So some counter-protesters showed up.
	They held transgender pride flags.
	Some of them carried signs. One of them said, Jesus was trans.
	Your own personal Jesus.
	Yes, you can imagine Jesus to be anything that you want, right?
	They can imagine that they're any gender that they want to be.
	They can imagine that Jesus is any gender that they want him to be.
	Another counter-protester held a sign that claimed teenagers love drag shows.
	Another sign said, no feminism without trans women.
	That's the interesting thing, of course.
	The L's versus the T's.
	There is a civil war that is really raging.
	The feminists versus the trans men.
	The men who want to be women.
	One pro-trans protester screamed and fell to her knees as speakers took the stage.
	Other pro-trans protesters wore headphones and danced to their own tune.
	How appropriate. And held signs saying, cis people are creepy.
	Cis being their term for normal.
	So they think normal people are creepy.
	They looked in the mirror.
	The very definition of...
	If you look up the word creepy, you'll see pictures of these people.
	But no, look, the bottom line is the intolerance, the bigotry, and pushing back against people who are pushing back against pedophilia, right?
	Not the teens, not the kids.
	You leave them alone.
	That's the bottom line.
	You leave them alone. And if you're going to toe that line and say we're going to come after them, that is criminal.
	That is criminal. It's criminal when the government doesn't protect them, just like it's criminal when the government doesn't protect people against big pharmaceutical killer drugs.
	The Tennessee State Legislature is set to consider a bill that would ban the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and sex change surgeries on children and teens, on minors.
	And, of course, there's also the cabaret definition.
	We're seeing this happening in some state legislatures.
	They're classifying these drag queen exhibitions.
	As being adult performances.
	The purpose of that being, you know, not to shut down what they're doing, but to make sure that kids can't attend, right?
	All these people say, well, this is my right.
	I can do this. Well, that's fine. You can do whatever you want.
	You're an adult. But you can't have the kids there.
	This is a long-standing understanding, and we need to extend that.
	But you notice how these people are fighting against this.
	No, I want the kids there.
	What does that tell you? It tells you that they're pedophiles.
	They demand that they have the kids there.
	And as I've pointed out before, there's a guy who was a drag guy and says, listen, all you conservative moms out there, you need to understand, all you moms, he said, I'm a conservative drag queen is what he said.
	And he said, but you need to understand what these drag events are about because there's a lot of drugs and sex and this is, you know, very explicit sexual moves that are being made.
	Your kids do not need to be there.
	And so they don't need to be in one of these events any more than they should be barred from this, legally barred from it.
	Just like you would not have them in a bar or in a strip club or something like that.
	Over and above, whether you have strip clubs in your society.
	Kids, definitely not.
	We want to talk about who's grooming them.
	Is it more damaging for them to go to a...
	You know, see pretty heavy men with exaggerated makeup and prosthetics and stuff to look feminine.
	Is that more damaging to the kids than Taylor Swift, who is now pushing this in her latest music video?
	See, that's where this influence is coming.
	People don't, you know, they, and it is.
	Pretty amazing to see these drag queens story time hours, right?
	Obviously targeting kids.
	But do you not realize how the kids are being targeted and have been targeted for the longest time by television, especially by MTV? And Taylor Swift is now...
	Amazing how popular she is.
	I think she had like the top five songs or something a while back.
	I don't, you know, I see her picture.
	I see people talking about her.
	I've never heard any of her music, so assuming that she can sing.
	Most of these people are just using auto-tuning and stuff.
	But she has a new music video.
	It features a transgender male model, Laeth Ashley, as her love interest.
	So when I look at this, I didn't want to spend a lot of time on this.
	I don't know if this is a guy who is supposed to be a female, but he'll be dressing that way.
	I think this is a woman.
	Because this is Fox News.
	Fox News says this is a transgender male.
	So I believe that this is a woman who is set up to look like a man.
	And this woman, I think, because this individual has a beard...
	So I guess this is a biological woman who's taking all these hormones and is now a bearded lady.
	And they're pretending that she is male.
	But the whole thing is that everybody, this person is famous enough so that everybody knows that this really is a woman with a beard.
	And so Taylor Swift has to do this to virtue signal to the powers that be.
	That's what this is about.
	So... Ashley thanked Swift for casting him in the role.
	So, since this is Fox News, since this is transgender, Fox News would use the pronouns that the trans people would want to use.
	So I'm assuming that this is a woman.
	BuzzFeed celebrity reporter Stephanie Soderou said the move further challenges Swift's reputation as a poster girl for white bigoted Republicans.
	See, she's got to work very hard.
	To escape that label.
	She's working overtime, doing any kind of degenerate thing that she can do to make sure she's not regarded as a white, bigoted Republican.
	Taylor Swift has made a lot of political missteps in her career, but casting a Dominican trans man as her love interest is commendable.
	Her country roots used to make her a poster girl for white, bigoted Republicans.
	So, she also had a music video, You Need to Calm Down, where she called out critics of the LGBT community and references the Equality Act, which is a bill designed for religious war.
	That's what it is. This is a religion for these people.
	And you need to understand that beyond the obvious virtue signaling, she's not just virtue signaling to the people in the entertainment industry.
	She's virtue signaling to the dark powers that we fight against.
	That's who she's virtue signaling.
	That's who she's been rewarded by.
	You see, there's far more that these principalities and powers have to offer her than any record label.
	That's how she gets these positions.
	She's made a Faucian bargain.
	I've said that so many times.
	They call it a Faucian bargain.
	Arkansas Senate, of course, is also looking at the same type of thing that's being looked at by the Tennessee legislature to reclassify these drag shows as adult-oriented businesses in order to protect minors.
	That's the thing that's unusual about them.
	They're so laser-focused on children.
	The Arkansas Senate recently voted to label drag shows as adult-oriented businesses, a classification to protect minors.
	The bill was passed by the state Senate, January 24th, despite opposition from all six Democrat lawmakers.
	I got six.
	It now continues to the Republican-led House for a final vote, and of course, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the governor in Arkansas.
	She says, I think we have to do everything, and I've been very clear and talked about this extensively, everything we can do to protect children.
	That's what this is about. So they would classify a drag performance as an adult-oriented business to establish additional location restrictions for it.
	An adult drag shows are defined in the bill as a performance that, quote, exaggerates sexual aspects of the masculine or feminine body for entertainment purposes, regardless of whether performers receive compensation.
	The classification of an adult oriented business was expanded from an adult bookstore, an adult cabaret, an adult live entertainment establishment, an adult motion picture theater, an adult theater, a massage establishment that offers adult services, an escort agency, or a nude model studio to include drag performances.
	Appeals to the prurient interest as applied to a minor depicts sexual behavior in a way that is patently offensive under community standards as applied to a minor.
	And it lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.
	Now, when we look at this, I think it's interesting to go back.
	We kept hearing this word used over and over again.
	Adult. An adult cabaret.
	An adult live entertainment.
	An adult theater. An adult services and so forth, right?
	That doesn't refer, you know, to...
	When we're talking about adult business, that doesn't mean that it's for non-minors.
	That's really not where the word comes from.
	Did you know that? Because I said at one point in time, I said, why in the world do they call this stuff adult?
	Because there's some pretty childish things that are happening here.
	And so I looked it up.
	And the etymology of applying the term adult to degenerate sexual lascivious activity, the etymology for that, the reason they use that the word adult doesn't refer to age.
	It refers to adulterated.
	We have taken movies and we have adulterated them with degenerate activity.
	Or we have taken other things and we have adulterated the bookstore with degenerate pornography and other things like that.
	It is adulterated.
	But it is also, in our society, if we are going to tolerate that, it's not going to be tolerated for minors.
	And we ought to hold the people who tolerate that responsible.
	Angus Mustaine. Thank you for the tip on Rumble.
	He says, found you on Rumble, sir.
	Well, thank you very much. I'm glad to see that you made it there.
	I hope that works out. I want to get feedback from people.
	We had some feedback from people about Rockfin, so we're going to do what we can to try to keep that going, but we would appreciate it regardless of where you follow it, if you want to support the program financially, if you could make donations in other ways.
	So let's talk about trans versus trad.
	I think that'd be a better way to do it.
	You know, I don't like the term cisgender.
	It's obviously a term that was coined to make us sound bad because we're traditional, because we support the definitions of gender and marriage and things like that that have been around for millennia in every society, even including Greek society, where homosexuality was accepted.
	And normalized completely, but they did not have homosexual marriage in Greece.
	And so, let's talk about Tran versus Trad.
	Let's talk about the Trad Wife movement for a moment.
	I've mentioned this before.
	This is from AmericaFirstReport.com.
	Have you heard of the Trad Wife movement?
	In our time, everything about marriage, family, gender is being redefined by some people, not by me.
	But not everyone is happy with these changes.
	This desire to recapture what has been lost has spawned what's called the Trad Wife Movement.
	I don't know how much of this is legitimate on TikTok because TikTok is not legitimate.
	And the people who are out there doing TikTok videos and trying to become influencers, they're just as phony as a lot of people on the left can be if they're doing something like the Trad Wife Movement.
	Needless to say, many modern feminists absolutely abhor the social values of the 1950s, but it's precisely those values that trad wives are seeking to promote.
	Now, the ones who are doing this on TikTok, I mean, they're dressing up in, you know, I love Lucy-style clothes and hairdos and things like that, and they're young and pretty and they're modeling and all this other kind of stuff, and a lot of it has just to do with that.
	This is not about nostalgia, though.
	I mean, you talk about father knows best.
	No, it's the father.
	The father knows best.
	God has set up a pattern.
	So the father knows best with this.
	And you'll find, as some of these people who are legitimately doing this are finding, there's something that Karen and I found out in our marriage, that when we have traditional roles, everything works better and we're happier.
	You know, it's not like God's come through with a bunch of rules Like the government would do, which is just like, well, here, I'm going to exercise my power, and I'm going to tell you to do this just because I can.
	No, God is loving, and the rules that He gives us are loving, and we'll be happier if we follow those rules.
	Just like when we tell our kids, you know, that's real pretty, isn't it, when you've got that flame on the oven?
	But don't stick your hand on that.
	It's hot, and that'll hurt when you do it.
	And, you know, kids don't listen, they get burned.
	And if we don't listen to the Father who knows best, we get burned as well, don't we?
	A segment of women is exhibiting a nostalgia for an era that was never known, somebody said.
	These millennials and Zoomers glamorized the aesthetics of the 1950s and donning retrofit and flare dresses and posting vintage illustrations of aproned housewives placing dinner on the table.
	Look, we all know that, you know, Everybody, even in the 1950s, knew that women did not mop the floors in high-heeled shoes.
	That was something that was created as part of the ad.
	But I can just give you, here's a secret tip.
	It really does work.
	It really was a better way.
	It's a better way, and it still is a better way, and it still is your choice.
	This is something that you can choose.
	It's up to you how you want to live your life.
	And if you follow the role models that were established and defined by God, then you're going to be happier doing that, frankly.
	It's the lure of money that has done this, more than feminism.
	It's social pressure, it's money, all these other things.
	You should not focus on a family.
	You should be in the workforce.
	What Karen and I found for the longest time, we had both of our moms were trad wives.
	We had our separate careers the first couple of years that we were married.
	And then, as we started working together, and we have done that, except for that first few years there, and except for the time when I was working at InfoWars, all the rest of the time, we have worked together.
	For a long time, before I went to InfoWars, we had a business together, we worked together.
	And I would say more than anything, that has been...
	And even better, if we can find something to do, and this is why I think, you know, people who have farms and things like that, it really strengthens their marriage because both husband and wife are working together on a common goal, and that's kind of been the way things have been with us.
	That is what has really helped us, I think, more than anything.
	And we're coming up, we just had our 43rd anniversary.
	We've known each other for 49 years.
	But when you are with each other, more you're with each other, The better that is.
	Now, you know, that's not always possible.
	But even if that's not possible, if the woman can be with, the mother can be with the children, that's a big important thing.
	And as much as the husband can be with him, that's an important thing as well.
	If trad wives really are a fringe group, then why have they been able to garner so much attention?
	They ask in this. One 29-year-old trad wife has developed a very large following on social media.
	Says she's decided to stay home with her children because her own mom wasn't around enough when she was a child.
	And it is difficult, you know, when we haven't seen that pattern in our family.
	It is different to start that up again.
	It's just like all these other lost skills.
	Whether it's being able to grow food or anything else, you know.
	But you can reclaim those things if you want to.
	Alexia De La Rosa, 29, from San Diego, is part of a growing movement of so-called Trad Wives, whereby women live by old-fashioned gender stereotypes.
	That's what I had to say.
	It's not a stereotype.
	It's a pattern by a father who knows best.
	Working together, again, that is the key thing.
	So, I think it's funny.
	It really is a war, though.
	And this is what we struggle against.
	It's a war on our minds.
	To take these thoughts captive.
	To take these ideas captive.
	And so one of the ways that this manifests itself is with the social-emotional learning.
	You're going to start seeing a lot more of this.
	You're familiar with CRT. Are you familiar with SEL? Social-emotional learning.
	S-E-L. This was something, as Alex Newman points out, the UN is pushing a new age spirituality On school children with SEL and with neuroscience.
	And Alex Newman at The New American has been spot on about education especially.
	I loved his analogy.
	He said the schools, he said you need to approach this as if the school building were on fire.
	What's the first thing you're going to do?
	You're going to get your kid out of there, right?
	And then you want to work with everybody to try to put the fire out before it spreads and burns down the entire neighborhood.
	So even after you get your kid out, you've got to put out this fire.
	Because it is designed to destroy our entire society.
	So, the interesting thing about this, he says, if you think that this is not New Age spirituality, SEL, social emotional learning, is a scheme that was hatched at a New Age organization whose founder and namesake was a follower of Lucifer Publishing Company,
	Alice Bailey. UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, It's known as the Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development.
	It's dominated by pagans, by communists, by New Agers, by French psychiatrists.
	As a matter of fact, you can go there and there's pictures of...
	Their New Age little temple chapel thing that they've got there in the UN. At first glance, those unfamiliar with the manipulation of language used by New Agers and Communists may not even notice the warning signs.
	For instance, the organization publicly claims it's merely working to give children kinder brains.
	Kinder brains.
	Through its programs, so the world can be more peaceful and sustainable.
	In reality, the Institute is a key vehicle for injecting occult spirituality into classrooms.
	As called for in Chapter 36 of the UN Agenda 21 Global Plan for Sustainable Development, which now has become the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Goals.
	The UN Outfit argues that children need SEL, As a sort of emotional manipulation to form healthy relationships and to regulate their emotions.
	You see, the UN understands the fundamental truth that we don't understand.
	That is, education is fundamentally spiritual.
	It's about the character.
	It's about the mind.
	It's not simply about facts.
	You know, facts are the early part of education.
	When the kids are young, they memorize things, right?
	They're good at memorizing things.
	They're not good at making extrapolations and putting pieces together, right?
	So you teach them a bunch of basic facts.
	But then as you get past the grammar stage, You need to start to get to the point where you put these pieces together.
	They know they've got a body of facts, and now they need to start piecing this together.
	But that's what the people who are trying to control our children's minds understand.
	They understand that education is fundamentally religious.
	And that's why R.L. Dabney said, you can never have government schools.
	It will always violate somebody's freedom of religion.
	Somebody's religion is going to be taught, whether it's secular humanism or whether it's Christianity or whether it's, let's say, Protestantism versus Catholicism.
	You can take it to any granularity that you want.
	And somebody's religion is going to be taught.
	So therefore, the government should have no involvement in education.
	All education should be private.
	And all education must understand that That its purpose is to educate the whole child and to not just be a vocational or technical thing where you're going to train monsters because that's what people will be if you don't address the religious issues first.
	They'll be highly educated and highly dangerous monsters.
	And we've already got enough of them, don't we?
	In Washington and elsewhere.
	In a very revealing video posted on the organization's homepage, UNESCO, Numerous red flags can be observed, says Alex Newman.
	One of the books that flashes by, for example, is Blinded by Faith.
	When one of the students in the video logs onto her virtual platform, her options are Climate Change and Ethics, Math in Life, and Migration and Conflict.
	Upon clicking the math option, one of the three sub-options is carbon footprint.
	Oh, there you go.
	At first glance, those unfamiliar with us won't understand that, but he says, changing mindsets, changing norms, transforming education for humanity...
	This is how the UN Institute sums up its names.
	Challenging norms, changing minds of children.
	And that's one of the reasons why the UN Convention on the Rights for the Child has, for decades, attacked parental rights.
	And that's what we see now being applied throughout the schools, throughout the courts.
	Pushing the children out. I mean, they even were running on MSNBC, if you remember Melissa Harris Perry, saying, you've got to get over this notion that the kids belong to you.
	They don't. They belong to us.
	They belong to the state.
	Mass mobilization of youth towards sustainable development, as how they're describing their mission on their website.
	They say central to their mission is to motivate the world's youth to achieve the Agenda 2030 scheme.
	The individuals involved also give the agenda away.
	Consider, for example, that the institute was launched by a scandal-plagued UNESCO boss, Irina Bokova.
	Before joining the UN, Bokova served as a high-ranking official in the mass-murdering communist regime in Bulgaria.
	Kind of like Tedros.
	He wasn't in Bulgaria, but, you know, same idea.
	These Marxist politicians failed states and dictatorships, and they groomed them, put them in charge of these globalist organizations.
	She is hardly the only known and unrepentant communist who is there.
	Numerous pagans and new age religious leaders have also been instrumental in the creation and the governing of the UN outfit.
	So we're not going to go any further into the details of this, but it does go back to the person that he referenced.
	Alice Bailey, a new American, he says, has done extensive work Exposing Social Emotional Learning, S-E-L. It represents the latest frontier in scientific indoctrination.
	In fact, they developed, they said, the correct attitudes, the purpose is to develop correct attitudes on issues such as sex.
	They're going to tell your kid what the correct attitude is to that.
	The correct attitudes on racial justice, on migration, on abortion, on global citizenship.
	And environmentalism and all the rest of this stuff.
	That's what SEL is about.
	And so you've had 1.5 million children leave the public schools in 2020.
	The great dropout.
	Interesting to see this article.
	The Epoch Times says the decline may be closer to 2 million, according to a report by Education Next showing that traditional public school enrollment, that's a percentage of all, has declined.
	I don't know what's so traditional about schools anymore.
	I don't think there's anything traditional about them.
	So it fell from 81% to 76% enrollment.
	And, of course, a large part of that is people deciding that they can teach their own kids.
	Thank you very much.
	One of these, the executive director of American Homeschool Association, said, The school that their child was in had a say no to drugs campaign, but they were going into detail on what drugs were out there.
	If they're going to learn about drugs, they're going to learn about the drugs from me.
	That's right. That's what I said about pretty much everything.
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	He wants weapons and he wants them faster and faster.
	I don't understand this.
	We look at the...
	The bipolar news media, they keep telling us that Russia's losing the war, that Putin is losing his mind, that he's going to die any day, and all the rest of this stuff.
	And yet, we have to keep escalating this thing faster and faster and faster.
	It just doesn't seem to make any sense, or at least it's not consistent, is it?
	So now they say, this is NATO Secretary General, And Stoltenberg says, well, Russia is massing at least 200,000 soldiers.
	Well, that's what they say. I don't know that that's the situation.
	That's their assessment of it.
	That's what they're telling us. That's the reason that we have to give them more and more weapons.
	But, you know, as Lawrence Vance said, and I thought this was perfect, says, Bill Gates finally says something that is true.
	Right? It always happens.
	Eventually somebody can, even like Bill Gates, can say something's true.
	This is what Bill Gates said.
	He said, the Ukrainian government is one of the worst in the world, corrupt, controlled by a few rich people.
	I mean, really unfortunate for the people in Ukraine, said Bill Gates.
	A lot of connections to the Biden family there as well.
	But as we look at the escalation with the tanks, and of course now they're pushing to send modern jet fighters and everything, it's just turning very offensive and a lot of escalation that's happening there.
	Fox News had, I'm sorry, Breitbart, not Fox, I had an interview with a retired army lieutenant colonel.
	His name is Daniel Davis. He's worked as a tanker with tanks.
	Tank division. And he says, sending these M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine is not going to help them at all.
	Not at all.
	But it will provoke the Russians.
	Because you understand, don't you, that that's the purpose.
	The purpose is not to win a war.
	The purpose is not to help the Ukrainian people.
	They want to use the Ukrainians up.
	And, you know, we had Alexei Arostovich pointed that out three years before it erupted, you know, 2019.
	Five years after they had had a civil war, after the Democrat Party orchestrated coup with Obama and the rest of these people, Victoria Nuland and the rest of them, Andrea Chalupa, all these Democrats involved in Ukraine, and they did that coup.
	There were some breakaway regions that wanted their independence, and so the Ukrainian government that was partnered with the Democrats decided they would start bombing the civilian populations.
	That happened for five years.
	People wanted, on both sides, the people wanted peace.
	Zelensky ran as the party of peace.
	Arrestovich was one of his top lieutenants.
	He was the guy who went for the peace negotiations, and he told Ukrainian reporter on television, Ukrainian television, no, we're not going to have any peace.
	There's no possibility that's going to happen.
	As a matter of fact, in three years, in 2022, there'll be war between Russia and Ukraine.
	Ukraine will be completely destroyed, but the good news is we get to join NATO. Great.
	So, retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis told Breitbart that Ukraine does not and will not have the expertise to integrate the tanks into its warfighting.
	But the tanks will do one thing, he said.
	They will infuriate Russia.
	The Biden administration has already sent almost $70 billion to Ukraine.
	They have not explained what their goal is, right?
	Or what it hopes to accomplish by poking Russia's hornet's nest.
	As a practical matter, though, the U.S. is at war now with Russia.
	The money, the military supplies that Biden has provided to Ukraine is an act of war.
	And of course, you know, we understand that going back and looking at what was happening at the beginning of World War II. The Japanese considered that they were justified to do that.
	And of course, so the Germans, but the Germans did not attack because they realized that it would inflame America.
	But the Japanese thought that they could do a decapitation blow preemptively.
	FDR called it a day of infamy.
	And yet, we have engaged in one preemptive war after the other since World War II. So, retired Lieutenant Colonel Davis said, quote, I can tell you that just having NATO tanks does not equal battlefield success.
	Ukraine doesn't possess the strategic and tactical expertise to integrate them into a winning battle plan.
	The problem is, what works on video games and what works on paper, he said, you have to make it work on the ground.
	And very few people anywhere in the Western media, or anywhere in any other media for that matter, Understand how combat power is made.
	He said you can't send 500 Ukrainians to Germany and conduct six weeks of maneuver training and think you're going to get the same output.
	Those guys don't have the experience.
	They don't even have the baseline understanding that we have had as a whole career and all of our training before we even arrived at that one year's preparation.
	See what he's saying?
	So we've had years of preparation, years of training, and then we have at least a year of intensive training with this stuff.
	He said, these guys are going to get six weeks?
	Because the idea that such a plan will work is absolutely ridiculous.
	He said, what makes somebody think that just the presence of a different kind of tank is suddenly going to change everything?
	He says, the tanks won't do much good.
	Ukraine already has 1,000 tanks, he said.
	And he said, I looked through all of the, you know, looked on the internet, any report could find for months.
	He said, there's hardly any tank-on-tank engagements now.
	So he said, what is this going to do?
	They've already got a thousand tanks, and so you're going to send them a newer tank.
	But they're not really engaging with the ones that they've got now.
	He said, the U.S. and other countries have already flooded the country with advanced weaponry, including 8,600 Javelin missile systems, 178 155mm and 105mm howitzers, 200 M113 armored personnel carriers, 1,000 Humvees, 20 MI-17 helicopters, and much, much more.
	What makes somebody think that a different kind of tank is suddenly going to make the difference?
	Another problem is Ukraine's lack of experience in maneuver warfare.
	He said, though, its military is very good at static and defensive warfare.
	If you want to fight offensively, and that's what this is, you should understand.
	This is an offensive mood.
	Everybody understands that.
	That's what the tanks are there. That's why they're sending the tanks.
	That's why they want to have the planes.
	They want to go on offense. And he says, well, that's a very different thing than digging in and fighting defensively.
	It's a completely different skill set that Ukraine does not have.
	Nor can that skill be created in a few months.
	So, given that the tanks won't work, the U.S. is pushing Russia into a corner for no reason at all.
	Unless, unless the reason is to push us into World War III. Right?
	Which is what the reason is.
	There's absolutely no way that the Ukrainians are going to be able to effectively use this equipment with just a few months worth of training.
	Even if they were able to use it effectively, they still wouldn't know how to, you know, maneuver and to do tactical maneuvers that they need to do to act offensively.
	So it can't possibly win.
	The only thing it can do is to provoke the Russians, and I think that's the purpose of all of this.
	And it's the same thing that's going to be happening if they give them modern jets.
	The purpose is going to be to provoke the Russians, not to win the war.
	He said, it makes them absolutely think that we cannot lose this, the Russians.
	And so they will double down on their efforts.
	We're going to push them into a corner.
	They already believe, going back to Alexander Dugan and other quote-unquote conservatives in the Russian government, they have for the longest time, since the 1990s, they believe that the purpose of NATO was to gradually and iteratively encroach upon them and then to destroy Russia.
	Everything that we're doing Validates that opinion and pushes them further and further into acts of desperation.
	We're doing everything except physically pulling the trigger, he said.
	We're providing intelligence.
	We're providing ammunition.
	We're providing weapons systems and repair facilities.
	Literally everything but pulling the trigger.
	He says, so what are you trying to produce on the ground?
	How is this going to benefit the United States of America?
	As opposed to not doing it.
	What are the pros and cons?
	He says this conversation hasn't even taken place.
	This is why, you know, with this retired lieutenant colonel, a tanker, you know, this is why we have in the Constitution the idea that before we go to war, we're going to have Congress debate that.
	But we've had one war after the other where there hasn't been any real discussion of pros and cons.
	Or even, you know, why we're doing this.
	There's been some vague fear-mongering about domino effects and things like that, which is at play again now.
	You know, we've got to stop them now, or, you know, the Russians are going to be in Denmark, and we're going to have to, and we need to preemptively draft our women into the military.
	All this fear.
	But there's not any real debate or discussion about pros and cons.
	And that's why we need to start creating this debate.
	The Republicans are not interested in debating the Democrats.
	They're probably more for all this stuff than the Democrats are, or just as much, right?
	There is nobody in Washington that is really pushing back on this.
	If we don't want to get into World War III, It's going to be up to the general public to push back against this.
	He says, we haven't had that conversation about pros and cons.
	We don't even know what we want to do.
	Even if he claimed that, well, we want to win.
	He says, well, define what winning is.
	That's what always has been missing with all these conflicts.
	You can see it very clearly. Afghanistan, for example, or Iraq.
	What does winning mean? He said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff just a week ago He said something he's been saying a lot now.
	He said one of the few things that I agree with him on is that he sees no military path for Ukraine to win this war in the foreseeable future.
	And by that he means throughout this entire year, 2023.
	He says, so someday Russia's going to conclude that you finally did cross a red line this time, and we're going to take action.
	He says, okay, so...
	You pull NATO together.
	You say that you want to invoke Article 5.
	This is what Zelensky and Ukraine have been pushing for.
	This is what the people in NATO have really been pushing for.
	Invoke Article 5, which is going to be, you know, everybody together now.
	One of our members has been attacked.
	We're all going to hang together and respond to Russia.
	So, Article 5 says an attack against one NATO ally is an attack against all.
	Because Russia has zero chance of defeating NATO in a conventional war, its only defense would be to use nukes.
	So, if we try to think that we're going to trigger Article 5 and not trigger a neutral war, he said, that is just insane.
	And we are fooling ourselves.
	Well, perhaps that's why we've got a senile president that has been installed.
	Because NATO and the West, Biden is the perfect figurehead.
	He's the perfect reflection of what Western civilization has become.
	This doddering, senile, can't even find his way off stage.
	And that's what we are.
	These institutions, failing.
	They're at or beyond their life expectancy.
	We're in the middle of a fourth turning.
	France, meanwhile, is saying they will not rule out French fighter jets for Ukraine.
	Macron says the idea of sending fighter jets to Ukraine has not been excluded.
	He was speaking after a meeting with...
	One of the Davos princes, one of the infamous Davos princes, Mark Ruta of the Netherlands, Mark Ruta said there he saw no taboo about sending U.S.-made F-16 fighters to Ukraine, but he admitted that it would be a big step.
	Well, for nearly a year, the idea of sending any jets, let alone Western-designed ones, to Ukraine was considered to be too escalatory by NATO powers.
	As a matter of fact, in the words of the Pentagon last March, they said the idea is now, they call the idea very high-risk hypothetical.
	But now, it's under serious consideration.
	The U.S. is discussing the idea of handing over its planes very carefully, With the rest of the NATO bloc.
	Amid pressure from military industrial complex and partners in the Pentagon, Poland says they are willing to transfer their F-16s if other NATO members follow suit.
	Germany has, at least for now, declared that it will not hand over its British tornado fighters.
	They said this is out of the question, but of course they said the same thing about the leopard tanks.
	Following the same trajectory is the months-long discussion over tanks.
	By the time France, Germany, and the UK, and the US all agreed to donate tanks this month, the decision had been telegraphed for weeks through the Western media.
	All of this reluctance and all this debate over which weapon systems they will send, that's just for us.
	They've already made the decision.
	This is not a debate over the war.
	This is not a debate over what is in our interest.
	We know this war is not in our interest.
	This is just an exhibition.
	It is moving the Overton window for all of us.
	The country's foreign minister ridiculed Germany's public recalcitrance, insisting that Berlin would do it anyway.
	That was the Ukrainian minister.
	Yeah, they're going to do it anyway.
	Long before they made the formal announcement.
	Kiev appears equally hopeful about receiving aircraft from the West.
	Posting on Facebook last week, Secretary of Ukraine's National Security Council shared a video of American F-16s along with a caption, Soon in the Sky of Ukraine.
	Everyone know how cartoonish and what misinformation this is?
	And this isn't just misinformation.
	This isn't just disinformation.
	This is mal-information.
	It's bad, evil, intentionally evil.
	You got Boris Johnson saying that Putin threatened him, threatened to kill him via a missile strike.
	This is cartoonishly foolish.
	This was quite a while back that this allegedly happened.
	There was nothing mentioned about it at the time.
	There was never any official transcript that was put out.
	Thank you, R. Wayne OBX. Thank you for the tip on Rumble.
	He says, in genetics, cis refers to linked markers and trans to separated markers.
	Cis just means you are what you were born with.
	It's a compliment. Well, I would agree, but it just doesn't sound good.
	I think as a marketing term, you know, they could have come up with any number of ways to do that.
	But I think, I don't know.
	I sense something that was there to try to make it sound bad.
	Because whenever they pick the terms, they always pick the terms to make themselves look good and other people look bad.
	You're not pro-life.
	You're anti-abortion rights.
	And you better refer to it that way, or the Associated Press will not put forward your article.
	But going back to Boris Johnson, He says, Putin threatened me at one point and said, Boris, I don't want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute or something like that.
	Jolly, he says, right?
	What an idiot.
	What an idiot he is.
	So, the Kremlin has vehemently denied that, said it's a lie.
	There were no missile threats.
	And again, I believe that if that had been real, they would have released a transcript.
	There would have been something about it at the time.
	This is something that happened quite some time ago.
	In December, Boris Johnson penned an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal urging NATO countries to abandon their reluctance to send warplanes, tanks, and long-range missiles to Ukraine.
	And as this article on Zero Hedge points out, he's always seen himself as like Winston Churchill, right?
	And he wants to be the central hero of a narrative against the evil Russian Empire.
	But you know, he may see himself as Churchill, but everybody else sees him for what he is.
	A posturing, bombastic buffoon.
	I've never seen, well, I can't say that.
	We've got our own jokes here in this country.
	But he's one of the most idiotic world leaders I have ever seen.
	Idiotic, as capable of telling the truth as George Santos.
	Meanwhile, an Air Force general tells his officers that war with China is only two years away.
	Four-star Air Force general sent out a memo on Friday to the officers of his command.
	And then be prepared to go to war with China.
	General Mike Minahan, head of Air Mobility Command, said, I hope I'm wrong, but my guts tell me we will be fighting in 2025.
	He commands 50,000 service members and nearly 500 planes.
	He also, the message is particularly alarming, given that it instructed commanders under him to consider their personal affairs.
	And whether a visit should be scheduled with their servicing-based legal office to ensure that they are legally ready and prepared.
	In other words, get your will together, guys.
	And there will be a lot of people who die if there is a fight between China and the U.S. in terms of defending Taiwan.
	It's going to be a massive slaughter.
	And even though we have superior weapons, they have superior numbers, we have longer lines, longer distance to go there.
	In the memo, General Minahan issued an order requiring that all major efforts in preparation for the coming China fight to be reported to him directly by February the 28th.
	And he has a reputation for being one of the most hawkish generals in the Pentagon.
	In his latest memo after that, he directed all Air Mobility Command personnel to, quote, Fire a clip into a 7-meter target with a full understanding that unrepentant lethality matters the most.
	Aim for the head.
	Well, you know, this is exactly what we needed if we're going to act out in real life, Dr.
	Strangelove. We've got to have somebody play the part of Buck Turgesson.
	So this general straight-out-of-central casting is going to step up to the task.
	Meanwhile, Moscow is pointing out they've got evidence, a document dump.
	They said it was obvious that they needed to hide this biolab information in a hurry because they didn't burn it or shred it.
	They buried it. And they said they found it, and it is information that since 2019, they have been experimenting on drug addicts, prisoners, and Ukrainian service members with HIV issues.
	They named individuals such as Karen Saylors of the Labyrinth Global Health, previously of Metabiota, a company linked to Biden's son Hunter, These latest trove of documents, they said, buried, that's how they got them.
	They called for a UN probe in October of the U.S.'s biological activities in Ukraine, but that was vetoed by the U.S. and U.K. and France.
	So it is absolutely amazing what is happening, but it's not just, that's the military side of it.
	There's also an economic side to that.
	And we understand, of course, how that has affected all of us in terms of the cost of energy.
	But here's one metric.
	It just came out. The UK economy, according to the IMF, International Monetary Fund, self-inflicted wounds by Boris Johnson and people of his ilk have damaged the British economy so much that it's going to perform worse than Russia.
	That's what we're doing. Just from an economic standpoint, the damage, the self-inflicted damage is staggering.
	So the UK economy is being ravaged by these high energy prices because of the NATO-Biden sanctions.
	Raging inflation running above 10%, more than five times the Bank of England's 2% target.
	This undermined household spending power, squeezing demand, dragging down the economy, and of course a lot of that is energy.
	And when we look at what is happening with energy, you're seeing record profits now from Exxon.
	$56 billion profits in 2022.
	They have never had anything that high.
	Of course, the last time that they got close to that, the previous record was $45 billion, and that happened during the Great Recession.
	Because oil went up at that time as well.
	So their net profits are going up because the profits are a percentage of their total take.
	And so Biden, who is giving them these windfall profits, Biden who is giving Putin Windfall profits.
	Now is turning to...
	The Democrats are now turning into demagogues and saying, well, you know, Biden giveth and Biden taketh away.
	He wants to tax them on a windfall profit standpoint.
	And, of course, that is already happening in Europe.
	They would have had an additional, I think it's $3 billion, $59 billion if it hadn't been for a European windfall profit tax.
	But... BP, the British Petroleum Institute, is now not looking at how they can survive as a business.
	They're eagerly anticipating and charting out when their business is going to go away under three different scenarios.
	Because that's what this is ultimately about.
	It's about the Great Reset.
	It's about taking down our economy.
	And as we understand that, they're going to take us to war.
	Thank you for listening. The common man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
