	Using free speech to free minds.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 10th of February, year of our Lord, 2023, day 1064 of the emergency.
	Today we're going to talk about what is ramping up every day.
	It seems like there's new developments in the war in Ukraine, moving to World War III. Maybe we should call it World War Z. Since it's being pushed so hard by Zelensky.
	But we're going to take a look at the revelations that came out by Cy Hirsch.
	And of course, not something that is easily dismissed.
	By the Biden administration as fake news because of his reputation.
	Something we all knew, something we all said at the very beginning of this.
	It's pretty clear. But he got all the evidence, put it together.
	Very interesting story.
	And we have much to say about what is going to be happening in this country in terms of infrastructure.
	Today we'll be talking about toll roads.
	We have Josh Hawley saying, hey, we've got China buying up our farmland.
	Well, guess what? Other foreign interests are buying up the rest of our infrastructure as well.
	Stay with us.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, we had Seymour Hersh has done his first article on Substack, we had Seymour Hersh has done his first article on Substack, and it is a Always does a thorough job of investigation, and it's a very interesting story.
	He gets down to the details from insiders and whistleblowers that he talked to.
	It was pretty obvious from the very beginning that NATO had the motive to blow up Nord Stream 1 and 2, They said it.
	Biden threatened to do it.
	Newland threatened to do it as well.
	So, you know, it made no sense that Russia would do it, and yet the mainstream media wanted us to believe that, as implausible as that was.
	Mike Lee, Senator Mike Lee, has said, well, if this is true, this is war.
	And essentially it is.
	But the whole, everything that's being done there, Is essentially war.
	So you can't just dismiss this coming from Hirsch.
	So what he pointed out here is, you know, you've got, again, as this is happening, one of the things that made me realize that this is the case, and many others as well, The fact that AFD, the German Alternative for Deutschland, and many others were saying, why are you cutting off our gas?
	Why are we going through this austerity program?
	This doesn't make any sense at all.
	Turn it back on. And it was already blocked by Germany.
	You know, the one had been shut down for maintenance.
	Russia said, well, we can't get a turbine.
	That it's a German turbine that had to be repaired in Canada and they're not giving it back to us, that type of thing.
	Whether or not that was true, it was clear that the Germans had blocked it from opening.
	And we knew that that was because the American government was pressuring them to do so.
	And so there's a lot of political pressure building up.
	People did not want to pay the freight.
	Essentially for having no energy, being deprived of that.
	But that has been the entire point.
	This has been a two-pronged attack against us by our own government.
	They want to burn everything down, destroy our energy, destroy our countries.
	And if we catch on to it, they want to take us to war.
	So what Cy Hirsch said, which I thought was interesting, is he talked to the insiders.
	He said they'd already been planning this way back in December of 2021.
	Two months before Russia even crossed into Ukraine.
	He said the Navy proposed using a newly commissioned submarine to assault the pipeline directly.
	The Air Force discussed dropping bombs with delayed fuses that could be set off remotely.
	The CIA argued that whatever was done, it would have to be covert.
	Everyone involved understood the stakes.
	That's in his report.
	How America took out the Nord Stream pipeline.
	On February the 7th, less than three weeks before the seemingly inevitable Russian invasion, Biden said this.
	If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again.
	Then there will be no longer a North Stream 2.
	We will bring an end to it.
	How will you do that?
	Exactly. Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control.
	We will, I promise you, we'll be able to do it.
	Possibly this is a good idea to say to our American friends, we will be united, we will act together, and we will take all the necessary steps, and all the necessary steps will be done by all of us together.
	Will you commit today to turning off and pulling the plug on Nord Stream 2?
	You didn't mention it.
	You haven't mentioned it. As I already said, we are acting together.
	We are absolutely united and we will not take different steps.
	We will do the same steps and they will be very, very hard to Russia and they should understand.
	And so that is what they did.
	After that, they did take the steps to make sure that it was shut off.
	But of course, it wasn't just Biden.
	Three weeks earlier, Victoria Nuland had essentially said the same thing.
	She said, if Russia invades Ukraine one way or the other, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.
	So why were they so bent on doing this?
	And here is a big motivation for the Ukraine war to start with.
	As Hirsch writes, as long as Europe remained dependent on the pipelines for cheap natural gas, Washington was afraid that countries like Germany...
	Would be reluctant to supply Ukraine with the money and weapons it needed to defeat Russia.
	And of course, it was all a power play.
	Everything that is happening, the hardships in Europe, in America, the disruption to energy prices, all the rest of the stuff, it serves several purposes.
	That's the genius of it.
	There is an evil genius to this.
	And that is that they can destroy our economies.
	They can impoverish us.
	They can take us back to the dark ages, if you will.
	And at the same time, they can further their geopolitical goals of ruling the world and a one-world government.
	And of course, they want to be the ones on top.
	The Norwegian Navy was quick to find the right spot, he said, about 260 feet deep.
	They worked quite a bit with Norway on this.
	They said they would be able to, they talked about a lot of different approaches.
	He goes into the details.
	It's very interesting. I would suggest that you read it.
	I'm just going to hit some of the highlights here.
	But used Navy divers to put C4 charges on the pipelines.
	They had talked about using subs and other things.
	But they, I thought this was interesting how they would trigger it stealthily.
	They said they set up a sonar buoy, set it up to be triggered by a sonar buoy that could be dropped.
	When the time was appropriate.
	And it would send out a sequence of signals so that this thing would not be triggered just by random noises at any particular time.
	Put out a sequence of signals spaced out over time.
	And then it would further be delayed for a preset number of hours before it would actually do the explosion.
	So it was planned two months in advance.
	It was deployed right away.
	And then the Norwegians on September the 26th dropped this buoy.
	As Zero Hedge points out, given that it was Hirsch who broke such well-known stories as the Miley Massacre, Abu Ghraib scandal, he's won the Pulitzer Prize, he's known to have impeccable sources inside the government, They were not able to ignore him like they've ignored other people who have said essentially the same thing without as much detail as Cy Hirsch had.
	That's what's interesting about this is the detail that's there.
	And what's interesting is the geopolitics.
	And to see that our government is just fine...
	with inflicting all kinds of suffering whether it is economic or whether it is death and destruction and World War III whatever it takes for their political ambitions nothing stands in their way So this time, his story was picked up by the Times of London.
	Reuters, others, especially Russian state media, that said the White House said on Wednesday that a blog post by a U.S. investigative journalist alleging that the U.S. was behind explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines is utterly false and complete fiction.
	Russia replied, said, we have repeatedly stated Russia's position on the involvement of the U.S. and NATO, noting that they did not hide it.
	They brag to the whole world about their intention to destroy the civilian infrastructure through which Europe received Russian energy resources.
	We have also regularly underscored the reluctance of Denmark, Germany, and Sweden to conduct an open investigation in opposition of Russia's participation in it.
	This is despite the fact that our country has suffered huge costs.
	Now the White House should comment on all these facts.
	But they don't. They just dismiss it.
	Now again, when we look at some of the interesting details, it is the group that they used, an outside group.
	We all knew that America had the motive.
	America declared its intention.
	We knew they were using surrogates of some type.
	What they used was an organization out of Panama City, Florida.
	The center, the U.S. Navy's Diving and Salvage Center complex, he said, is as nondescript as its location.
	A drab concrete post-World War II structure that has a look of a vocational high school on the west side of Chicago.
	They've been training highly skilled deepwater divers for decades who, once assigned to American military units worldwide, are capable of technical diving to do good.
	Like using C4 explosives to clear harbors and beaches of debris and unexploded ordnance, as well as the bad, like blowing up foreign oil rigs, fouling intake valves for undersea power plants, destroying locks on crucial shipping canals.
	He said there was a vital bureaucratic reason for relying on the graduates of the center's hardcore diving school in Panama City.
	The divers were Navy only, instead of members of special forces.
	Those covert operations from special forces have to be reported to Congress and briefed in advance to the Senate and House leadership.
	So the Biden administration went with these Navy divers that are essentially not part of special forces.
	From its earliest days, he said, Nord Stream has seen Washington and its anti-Russian NATO partners as a threat to Western dominance.
	The holding company behind it was incorporated in Switzerland.
	In partnership with Gazprom, a publicly traded Russian company, producing enormous profits.
	Gazprom controlled 51%, the other 49% was controlled by four European energy firms, one in France, one in the Netherlands, and two in Germany.
	Gazprom's profits were shared with the Russian government, and state gas and oil revenues were estimated in some years to amount to as much as 45% of Russia's annual budget.
	This is why it made absolutely no sense to say that Russia had blown it up.
	That was 45% of their annual budget, and that was just from Nord Stream 1.
	Nord Stream 2 never went into service, remember?
	It was finished, it was filled, and the German Chancellor that you saw there kept it closed.
	So, that could have been 100% of their annual budget, at least.
	So Nord Stream 1 was dangerous enough in the view of NATO and Washington, but Nord Stream 2, whose construction was completed in September of 2021, would, if approved by German regulators, double the amount of cheap gas available to Germany and Western Europe.
	The second pipeline also would provide enough gas for more than 50% of Germany's annual consumption.
	This is a massive move at economic dominance.
	This is cynical, Machiavellian geopolitics at its worst or finest, if you will.
	Opposition Nord Stream 2 flared on the eve of the Biden inauguration, January 2021, when Senate Republicans, led by Ted Cruz, repeatedly raised the political threat of cheap Russian natural gas during the confirmation hearing of Blinken as Secretary of State.
	And, of course, Ted Cruz, being from Texas, seeing this as competition, They want to make sure they have a hegemony monopoly as much as possible of this and control energy.
	But they also want to remove as much energy from the equation as possible.
	So Ted Cruz is there for the people who want to make sure they don't have competition from the Russians.
	Biden has people who want to make sure that nobody has available energy as part of the Great Reset.
	So they all agree, for whatever reasons, they agree on this policy.
	So during the confirmation of Blinken as Secretary of State, Cruz said that the Senate had successfully passed a law that halted the pipeline in its tracks.
	But a few months later, as Nord Stream 2 was finishing...
	Biden backed off.
	That May, in a stunning turnaround, the administration waived sanctions against Nord Stream.
	A State Department official conceding that trying to stop the pipeline through sanctions and diplomacy had always been a long shot.
	There were immediate consequences.
	Senate Republicans, led by Cruz, announced an immediate blockade of all Biden's foreign policy nominees.
	Delayed passage of the annual defense bill for months.
	Politico Depicted Biden's turnabout on the second Russian pipeline as, quote, the one decision, arguably more than the chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan, that has imperiled Biden's agenda.
	So there was a bipartisan approach to this.
	That's what I said. It's the Republicans as well as the Democrats that are pushing us into World War III. And this is another concern about this.
	This is why this story is still important.
	It shows their attitudes, their motivations, their goals, and their determination to push us into World War III. The American media treated it like an unsolved mystery.
	Russia was repeatedly cited as a likely culprit, writes the Hirsch, spurred on by calculated leaks from the White House.
	But they never established a clear motive for such an act of self-sabotage.
	Again, just Nord Stream 1.
	Some years. 45% of all of Russia's annual budget.
	A few months later, when it emerged that Russian authorities had been quietly getting estimates for the cost to repair the pipelines, the New York Times, who Cy Hirsch used to work for, described the news as complicating theories about who was behind the attack.
	Wait a minute. Why would they want to repair it if they blew it up?
	This is complicated.
	Yeah, their conspiracy theory never made any sense.
	No major American newspaper dug into the earlier threats to the pipelines made by Biden and Undersecretary of State Newland.
	That's what I find to be amazing.
	I mean, you've covered that extensively before.
	I played her comments as well as the ones I just played from Biden.
	Asked at a press conference last September about the consequences of a worsening energy crisis in Europe.
	Lincoln described the moment as a potentially good one.
	Oh yes, it's going to really be bad for everybody during the winter.
	And you've got German industry shutting down left and right.
	They can't afford to compete.
	So it's going to be done in China.
	Where they have no problem getting energy.
	Because they're not under any of the UN climate sanctions.
	That's what we should call them. The Paris Climate Accord is nothing more than sanctions.
	And you understand that sanctions are an act of war.
	These climate agreements are sanctions against all the countries, Western Europe as well as the U.S. They're sanctions against us.
	They don't apply to China or to India.
	They don't see this as a global problem.
	The two places that have The biggest populations and are building most of the coal-powered plants without any cleaning whatsoever.
	They don't have any restrictions on them whatsoever.
	This is directed simply at us.
	These are sanctions.
	These are acts of war against us.
	Taking away the energy. But Blinken said this.
	It's a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and to take away from Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs.
	That's something of a projection, isn't it?
	Do we not have imperial designs backed up by our control of energy?
	Even our currency is connected to energy.
	Energy is How we are going to live or die as a nation, as a society, as a world.
	And you can see the weaponization of energy.
	Nord Stream is just one example of this.
	But everything that is being done right now, whether you're talking about having the reserve currency or anything else, it is all about using energy as a weapon.
	And they are very interested in keeping control of that.
	Even if it brings us into World War III, it's necessary.
	How many wars have we fought over energy?
	And of course, if it's not going to be oil, it'll be over lithium.
	It'll be over cobalt.
	It'll be over the other things that are going to be needed for their so-called renewable energy sources.
	You're still going to have to get it out of the ground.
	It's not going to be oil, but it'll be the other minerals.
	Newland expressed satisfaction as well, testifying at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in late January.
	She told Senator Ted Cruz, hey, we did it!
	Like you, I am, and I think the administration is very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.
	And so the source that spoke to Cy Hirsch, one of them, said, well, he says, I've got to admit, the guy said he was going to do it, and he did.
	It was a beautiful cover story, he said.
	Behind it was a covert operation that placed experts in the field and equipment that operated on a covert signal.
	The only flaw was the decision to do it.
	Yeah, plan worked perfectly.
	Except it was a very bad idea to start with.
	So now we have, as I said, World War Z. We have Zelensky going to the UK yesterday, thanking the country in advance for the jets that he knows he's going to get from them as the next stage of escalation.
	He addressed the British Parliament Wednesday afternoon, expressing his view on military alliance and Thanking the UK in advance for the gift of its warplanes, the Speaker of the British House of Commons was presented with a signed combat pilot's helmet.
	Was this from the Ghost of Kiev?
	He says he now considers getting British fighter jets a fate accompli.
	Zelensky said in his address to the UK Parliament he was, quote, thanking all of you in advance for powerful English planes.
	Just hours before, the British Prime Minister, Richie Rich, Sunak said the UK was to start training Ukrainian pilots in flying what have been identified as NATO standard fighter jets, the first country to publicly announce such a development.
	So they're already training the pilots.
	You don't think that they're going to give them the planes?
	As a matter of fact, Zelensky said...
	As they're moving through this, talking about the, there's a picture of the idiot Speaker of the House, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, holding up the helmet that has an inscription on it.
	It's just pathetic to see what is happening with this.
	And Sunak says nothing is off the table.
	He's been pressured by Boris Johnson to do that as well.
	Bojo the Clown wants to see himself as a new Churchill.
	And he would love to pose as a leader as part of World War III. What a dangerous, delusional clown he is.
	I think you can see from the steps that we're taking that we're willing to put Ukraine in a position where once we have reached the goals of training pilots, they're able to fly these types of jets, said a spokesman for the current prime minister.
	What we have not made a decision on is whether we send UK fighter jets.
	He's absolutely a liar.
	He's just moving the public's Overton window, getting them accustomed to the fact, yes, they're going to get jets, when they know they're going to give them their jets as well.
	They do it from the inside.
	They do it iteratively.
	Demanding that the Ukrainian president's call for arms beheaded, Boris Johnson had said, There is nothing to be lost and everything to be gained by sending planes now.
	Really? He says the UK has over 100 Typhoon jets at its disposal.
	He said, quote, The best single use for any of these items is to deploy them now for the protection of the Ukrainians.
	They want it very badly.
	But Scott Ritter has an interesting article about tanks.
	And it's essentially seconding what Joel Skousen said when I interviewed him last week.
	How NATO lied its way to disaster in Ukraine.
	He said, if a modern military force attempted to launch a large-scale tank-dominated attack, Against a well-equipped, peer-level opponent armed with modern anti-tank missiles, the result would be a decisive defeat for the attack party, marked by the smoking hulks of burned-out tanks.
	He says, don't get me wrong, they still have a vital role to play, but only if you use them in the right way, which is what Joel Skousen would say.
	He said, their status as a mobile bunker is invaluable as a kind of meat grinder conflicts of attrition that have come to define the current stage of large-scale ground combat.
	Speed and armor still contribute to survivability, and the main gun of a tank remains one of the deadliest weapons on the modern battlefield, as Skousen had pointed out last week, though.
	He said, the special armor that the American tanks have is not going to be on these tanks.
	They're going to maybe remove it or send them some other tanks that they're manufacturing now.
	Because the reality is they can't do it for several months.
	These... People don't even know how to use the tanks, but that's not the point.
	As both Joel Skousen was saying and Scott Ritter was saying, if you're going to use them, as they're now useful in modern warfare, if you're going to use them, You have to be able to use them, not just turn the thing on and drive it, but you've got to know how to use it in coordination with other tanks.
	As he said, the modern tank performs best as a combined arms team supported by infantry, both mounted and unmounted, and copious amounts of supporting arms, artillery, and close air support.
	As part of such a team, especially one that's well trained in the art of close combat, the tank remains an essential weapon of war.
	However, if operated in isolation, a tank is simply an expensive mobile coffin.
	He says it takes 22 weeks to train a basic American M1 Abrams crew member.
	22 weeks.
	But that very basic skill set...
	Just to be functional, actual operational expertise is only achieved through months, if not years, of additional training, and not just the system itself, but employing it as part of a trained combined arms team.
	Simply put, even a Ukrainian tank crew experienced in the operation of Soviet-era T-72 or T-64 tanks will not be able to immediately transition to Western-style main battle tanks.
	Training is expensive. It's time-consuming.
	NATO is currently providing Ukraine with three types of Western main battle tanks.
	There's a British Challenger, the German Leopard, the American M1. There's no unified training course.
	Each tank is different and requires its own training.
	And is not transferable from one system to the other.
	Such a diverse approach promotes inefficiencies, generates discrepancies in outcome.
	One crew will not be like another, which in combat, where units are supposed to be interchangeable to promote predictable outcomes, if all other circumstances remain the same, that is usually fatal.
	These problems will only be enhanced by the emphasis they'll be placed on rapid outcomes.
	In other words, you've got to do this at warp speed, right?
	So you got three different types of tanks.
	They don't know how to use any of them.
	Each of them is specialized training.
	And it's going to be very difficult for them to operate as a group.
	The tank that we're sending is going to be stripped of its most important armor.
	The reality is whatever training programs that are developed and delivered in the nations providing the tanks will be insufficient to the task.
	Resulting in poorly trained crews taking extremely complicated weapon systems in the most dangerous environment in the world for a tank.
	He says then there's the logistical issues.
	He says they're going to be constantly breaking down if not properly maintained.
	This is what Joel Skalsen also said.
	He points out that for every hour that a tank, the M1 Abrams, is in the field, there are three hours of maintenance time required.
	So how are they going to do that? Where are they going to get the trained mechanics to do that?
	I mean, it's ludicrous to see what is happening.
	This is designed to fail, is the bottom line.
	Now, when we send the tanks and they fail, then they'll send the airplanes and they'll fail.
	And we'll have to say, just as the former British defense minister said, well, we're going to have to use our troops to do this.
	This is how they're taking us step by step into World War III. Now, there's nothing that you or I can do about this.
	Neither Republicans nor the Democrats want to move from this.
	So what you need to do is to prepare accordingly.
	That's all I can tell you. I mean, you can write your congressman, your senator, see if they care.
	There's one or two that do care.
	There are some congressmen that are going to try to stop some of the funding for this, but there's, you know, the vast majority of the establishment, both political and media and otherwise, is once this war.
	And everybody knows it.
	In short, it is highly likely that a Western Maine battle tank in Ukrainian hands will break down at some point during operational use by Ukraine, meaning that the total number of tanks available to Ukraine will be far less than those provided.
	He said the truth about tanks is that NATO and its allied nations are making Ukraine weaker, not stronger, by providing them with military systems that are overly complicated to operate, extraordinarily difficult to maintain, impossible to survive unless employed with a cogent manner while supported by extensive combined arms partners.
	The decision to provide Ukraine with Western Maine battle tanks is literally a suicide pact.
	Something those who claim they're looking out for the best interests of Ukraine should consider before it's too late.
	It absolutely is.
	They knew this was going to happen.
	They had made a suicide pact already with NATO, and Alexei Arrestovich, who's Was very candid about that and recently kicked out of the Zelensky administration for candidly saying, yeah, that Russian cruise missile that hit that building, that wasn't the target. We shot it and it careened down into it.
	So they fired him. But he was very clear about the fact that when Zelensky was elected on a platform of peace, and he was the guy who was the negotiator for peace in the war that had been going on for five years, Since the coup that had been engineered by the Obama administration with Victoria Nuland and others, he said, no, there's not going to be any peace.
	As a matter of fact, in three years, in 2022, there's going to be war with Russia, and Ukraine will be totally destroyed.
	But the cool thing is, we'll get into NATO. You see, it's always been a suicide pact.
	The world is walking into World War III with their eyes wide open, said the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
	Prospects for peace keep diminishing, he said.
	I fear the world is now sleepwalking into a wider war.
	I fear it is doing so with its eyes wide open.
	Zelensky said if Ukraine fails, it'll be the start of World War III. That's what I would like to underline.
	If we will fall, this will be the start of the third world war, or the recognition of the fact that NATO member nations are standing by themselves, on their own.
	How concerned are you that President Putin could use a nuclear weapon against your forces?
	I think nobody can give you the exact answer.
	But I think that he'll be afraid of doing that because he's afraid of his own life.
	If he will use nuclear weapons, then he'll be destroyed.
	He'll be neutralized. I don't know who it could be either inside or outside of his own country.
	Well, again, that was Zelensky.
	The only purpose...
	Putting these tanks there again is a suicide pact so that we can justify our own direct involvement.
	Angus Mustaine says, just more proof there's not a two-party system in D.C. It's just one big criminal organization.
	Absolutely. Absolutely.
	My son said, hearing all the problems with the tanks, it sounds like we did a better job of arming the Taliban.
	Yeah, definitely did.
	I was smarter about that in arming the Mujahideen in Afghanistan as well.
	Elon Musk, most oblivious to the danger of World War III, he says.
	Everybody sees it coming, but nobody is doing anything to stop it, or able to do anything to stop it.
	So, as he said that, a Ukrainian, an aide to President Zelensky, Ukrainian, Mikhail Podolyak, Claimed that Musk was restricting the reach of pro-Ukraine Twitter accounts in order to help spread Russian propaganda,
	because he didn't like the fact that Musk pointed out that the goal is to have World War III. And so he said, maybe a regulator is needed to explain competition rules to the owner.
	Well, he does have a lot of regulators that are going to be hammering him on all of this stuff.
	It'll happen soon enough.
	And so we're going to...
	Well, one last thing before we take a break.
	And when we come back, I'll tell you a little bit about what's been going on the last couple of days.
	I appreciate everybody's concern about me personally, but I wanted to...
	This is more important than what has happened to me personally.
	When you take a look at Syria...
	There's been a couple of articles, antiwar.com, vaccineimpact.com.
	When you look at what's happened to Syria, a country that, again, it was a pipeline.
	It was Russia that was involved in that, and it was Americans who wanted that pipeline to end so they could run their pipeline.
	These are major aspects of that conflict.
	And Russia was invited into Syria by the Syrian government, but we were not invited.
	We went into there anyway, or didn't actually put boots on the ground as Nikki Haley wanted, as Theresa May wanted, but we are involved there nevertheless.
	We have sanctions against Syria.
	And if you want to look at the cold-blooded ruthlessness here, even as an earthquake is devastating the area, they're not budging on the sanctions, not even momentarily, to help people.
	As earthquake devastates Syria, U.S. continues sanctions blocking aid that would provide immediate relief, writes antiwar.com.
	And I said State Department spokesman Ned Price said Monday the U.S. would work with NGOs in the country, but he didn't give any indication that the U.S. would lift sanctions on Syria.
	Well, as the reporter said, To Ned Price once before?
	Where's your evidence of this?
	That's just you talking, Ned.
	And we've heard Madeleine Albright talking about the sanctions that went on for a long time in Iraq.
	She was told 500,000 kids died.
	She said, was it worth it?
	Yes, it was worth it. Didn't even deny that.
	That 500,000 children had been killed by sanctions.
	They don't care about this whatsoever.
	U.S. sanctions have impeded relief efforts after earthquakes in the past.
	In June 2022, an earthquake in Afghanistan killed over 1,100 people.
	And U.N. officials said sanctions were complicating aid deliveries.
	But U.S. sanctions on Afghanistan remained and are still in effect today.
	Despite UN warnings that six million Afghans are risking famine.
	Because nothing matters except our geopolitics and our empire.
	What a stench the American government has become.
	I love what this country was.
	I despise our government as it is now.
	I spent several years living in Turkey, said Brian Shulhavi, in the mid-1980s and early 1990s.
	I've lived in the area with a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck earlier this week with thousands of deaths.
	During my time in Southeastern Turkey in 1991, working with Kurdish refugees, I got to know many Orthodox Christian Syrians living in that region.
	It's sad to see pictures of the devastation there, he said.
	But what really angers me is how the criminal government of the United States has caused thousands of Syrian deaths even before the earthquake happened by unnecessarily bombing the people and ruining their economy through sanctions.
	And now that the people of Syria are suffering even more because of this massive earthquake, the U.S. refuses to lift sanctions against the country, to allow a greater flow of humanitarian aid to come into the country to help the survivors.
	The U.S. denies that they're stopping aid workers, of course, but I spoke with Orthodox Christian Syrians living here in the U.S. today who confirmed to me their families are suffering and that the sanctions in place make it very difficult for them to get aid to their family members living in Syria. but I spoke with Orthodox Christian Syrians living here in
	In addition to that, Dave DeCamp at Antiwar.com points out that the head of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, again, it's an organization like the Red Cross, but they don't want the cross in the predominantly Muslim countries, so but they don't want the cross in the predominantly Muslim countries, so they put a But they have the same mission.
	Called for the lifting of U.S. and other Western economic sanctions on Syria.
	Following it, he said if the evacuation process and rescue operations are restricted due to obstacles resulting from severe sanctions, the sanctions are preventing Syria from acquiring machinery needed to rescue people from the rubble.
	He said, I mean specific machinery that lifts the rubble without injuring people trapped under the rubble.
	The economic sanctions imposed on our country are the main obstacle to getting this machinery.
	You see, as we begin, we see...
	The wholesale destruction of the economy of Europe with this Nord Stream explosion simply because they want to control energy and they use that to establish their empire.
	We see the economic hardship and the devastation in Europe.
	We see the famine in Afghanistan.
	We see them blocking earthquake aid in Syria.
	What do you think they'll do to us?
	Does human life of any kind mean anything?
	Do you think that American lives mean anything more to these people in Washington than the lives of people in other countries?
	None of these countries right now, Syria, Afghanistan, are a threat to the U.S.? None of them.
	And yet look at what we do for the people that are there.
	Simply because the CIA and Washington want to dominate the world.
	And they'll do whatever they think is necessary to dominate you as well.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	All right, a couple of comments and tips on Rumble.
	Angus Mustang, thank you very much.
	He says, Biden-Zelensky versus Putin in a steel cage death match on pay-per-view.
	Enough money to pay off our national debt.
	That's right. Nick Ellenbecker, thank you for the tip very much on Rumble.
	Also, a comment on Rumble.
	Florida Patriot said what Zelensky is saying.
	Is if Ukraine loses, American politicians won't be able to launder money through Ukraine anymore.
	Yeah, that's a big part of it. Just a cesspool of waste there.
	Vince Agnelli, no, I'm sorry, David, I disagree.
	Starting over stops the head of the snake.
	If people pull away, the main government has no support.
	Our founders did that, and it put an end to the size and scope of the kingdom.
	Well, I would say that's, when I say there's nothing we can do to stop this, I mean there's nothing we can do in Washington to stop this.
	There is no solution in Washington.
	I'm saying that because so many people think that there's a savior that is coming that we can put in the Oval Office, whether it's Trump or somebody, DeSantis or whatever.
	We just got to get the right guy in the Oval Office and we'll fix it.
	No, Washington is finished.
	On that, Vince and I agree.
	That there is no solution to be found in Washington.
	I said I would tell you what's happened in the last couple of days.
	And first of all, I want to thank Tony and Guard for doing such an excellent job.
	I had so many people write me about how good the program was.
	And it was something that we still don't know really what it was.
	It's about a 48-hour bug, I guess.
	And it happened right after the show.
	There was a little bit of indication just before the show, but right after the show, I started throwing up, and it went for quite a while.
	I really couldn't figure out what had happened because I didn't get out this weekend.
	I mean, we're on our way to church, got a ticket, and that kept us from getting to church, so it took so much time.
	But everything that I ate, Karen had, except the only thing we could think of was, A., Eggs that I had that morning.
	But, you know, I do have my eggs soft.
	So we thought, well, maybe it was salmonella or something like that.
	But I had a friend call us up and say, no, I don't think that was it.
	But that's the only thing we can think of.
	It's the only thing that I didn't have that she didn't have.
	So, not really sure what happened with that.
	Haven't been out much the last week or so.
	So, you know, not really in contact with anybody.
	The only thing would be food that we could think of.
	And it seemed to have all the symptoms of salmonella.
	I mean, I have had eggs in the morning as part of this routine going back to before this show was independent.
	So, it's been going back for about...
	I guess it's about five years or so.
	Every morning, a couple of eggs.
	Soft-boiled. So I don't know what happened with it, but I do appreciate the prayers.
	That's the key thing. And we did not know it until the next day, but Karen had requested prayer because I was...
	Not only was I... You have nausea, diarrhea, vomiting...
	And the vomiting was really getting to me.
	My pulse rate was really, really high.
	I was concerned that I don't get enough exercise.
	There's a lot of stress, a lot of sitting, reading this stuff, and a lot of stress.
	And so I got a Fitbit last fall to start keeping track of my To push me to walk more and move more and to keep track of my heart rate since I had a heart attack a few years ago.
	And with the vomiting and everything, my heart rate was like between 120 to 145 constantly, even 145 when I was We're good to go.
	She contacted them and they had corporate prayer there and we didn't know this until the next day.
	Rhonda Tate told us about it and it was about 15 minutes after they had prayer that The vomiting stopped and the heart rate went down.
	So I really do appreciate that.
	It makes a difference.
	It really does. And so I want to thank you all for your concern and especially thank Tony and Gard for doing such a great job.
	And thanks for putting out the prayer request, Gard.
	I appreciate that. Let's take a look at the news.
	Of course, we had the State of the Union yesterday.
	And there was this back and forth where there was a lot of yelling, but the central thing that was at the center of it was a proposal that was put out by Senator Rick Scott during this last election.
	And that was a very good proposal.
	And Biden twisted it to say that Republicans wanted to get rid of Social Security and Medicare.
	That's the same nonsense that Republicans have been doing before they had the bigger issues that they've created with the bigger problems that they've created.
	That used to be one of the main things every year.
	Vote for me because they're going to cut your Social Security and all the rest of the stuff.
	And it was never true. Both parties want to keep the welfare state going.
	But what he did say...
	It's a very good idea.
	And as the Hill points out...
	Senator Rick Scott defended his proposal to sunset all federal legislation after five years, and he slammed Biden as confused, quote-unquote, in response to his claim that some Republicans want to sunset Social Security and Medicare.
	He said, In my plan, I suggested the following.
	All federal legislation sunsets in five years.
	If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.
	And that created...
	Animosity with Republicans.
	They said, well, the Democrats are going to demagogue on this, which is what Biden did.
	But he said this is clearly and obviously an idea aimed at dealing with all the crazy new laws our Congress has been passing as of late, he said.
	He said denying the claim that they wanted to end Social Security and Medicare.
	So Biden said, instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset.
	And that's when the people started yelling and screaming at him.
	And then he came back and he said, anybody who doubts it, contact my office.
	I'll give you a copy. I'll give you a copy of the proposal.
	It's being proposed by individuals.
	I'm politely not naming them, but it's being proposed by some of you.
	And so that was really directed at Rick Scott, who was not one of the ones yelling there, but he held a press conference to correct the record afterwards and was very angry.
	Called it a lie and a dishonest move from a very confused president.
	He said, I'll not be intimidated by Joe Biden twisting my words.
	And he said...
	He pushed back by arguing that Democrats effectively cut Medicare when they gave the federal government power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices in the Inflation Reduction Act.
	You see, this is why I say that, again, another example of Republicans and Democrats.
	You know, he is right when he says we need to sunset these rules, but then he says, but I would never get rid of the welfare state, and he wouldn't.
	Right? Socialists Make the changes, and conservatives make them permanent.
	That's the purpose of the conservatives.
	He argues that his plan anticipates that the Congress would quickly renew popular programs such as Medicare and Social Security, as well as defense programs, before they have the chance to sunset.
	He says, does he think that I also intend to get rid of the U.S. Navy or the Border Patrol or air traffic control, maybe?
	This is the fake gotcha BS that people hate about Washington.
	Well, you know, then there was this at the State of the Union.
	If you try anything to raise the cost of receiving jobs, I will veto it.
	I know you feel it. So many of you felt like you've just simply been forgotten.
	Made the academic upheaval in the past four days.
	Yeah, what was that?
	That's just a couple of examples of that.
	You know, every day it's something else like his...
	More than half the women in my cabinet, more than half the people in my cabinet, more than half the women in my administration are women.
	That's my favorite of the last week.
	Because, you know, we know what the other half are.
	Sam Britton and so forth.
	Yeah, that's the state of things in Washington.
	Even the Republicans don't want to touch the welfare state.
	And if they talk about even getting rid of anything that's been put in, no, we just have to keep building on top of that and escalating all the different controls that have been stacked one on top of the other.
	Trump adds them, Biden keeps them in place, stacks his stuff on top of them.
	So, talking about eggs, as I was saying, perhaps that was what made me sick.
	I don't know. I mean, we'll see.
	Hopefully, Karen will not get sick.
	If she gets sick in the next couple of days, we'll know it's something that I picked up.
	But hopefully, it was something that I ate, and that's the only thing we can think of.
	But wholesale egg prices are collapsing, kind of like I collapsed the other day.
	But that's not at retail.
	The wholesale egg prices have plunged 57% since December the 19th.
	You haven't seen that at the grocery store, have you?
	And if you don't see that, they say, well, there's a lag there.
	Okay, fine, there's going to be a lag.
	But then when they talk about, but they're going to go up in Easter as well.
	Well... Where's the lag there, right?
	They're going to immediately go up, but if they come down, there's going to be a lag if they do come down.
	And they may not come down the full 57%, right?
	When you watch these egg prices and see what happens to the retail price, I think this is going to substantiate what farmers in the U.S. and farmers in the U.K. have been saying.
	That this is about the grocery stores, the middlemen, keeping more profits.
	They said our costs in terms of raising chickens are going sky high, but they won't pay us any more.
	Yeah, they dropped their price 57%.
	But they kept the retail price up.
	That is what is really happening.
	So a big adjustment downward, 57% down.
	Prices have collapsed, says one group that goes through and keeps statistics on it.
	In December, retail prices of a dozen eggs were up a mind-boggling 200%.
	So even if they then drop 57%, They're still up almost double.
	And we haven't seen that reflected at retail prices either.
	They said it takes a month for retail prices to reflect wholesale price action, which means consumers might begin seeing some relief in February.
	He said prices will go back up ahead of Easter.
	There you go. So is it really any relief in sight?
	I think you should continue with your plans of backyard chickens, frankly.
	Central bank digital currencies will bring hyperinflation.
	Angus Mustang says, were they the Bill Gates synthetic eggs?
	Or maybe the product, says Mark, of mRNA vaxxed chickens.
	Yeah. Well, that's the reality.
	And a lot of people are talking about the food.
	And as I pointed out last week, one guy's anecdotal thing, but many other people are talking about it as well.
	The fact that, you know, buying this chicken feed seems to be having a big negative effect on the egg-laying capabilities of the chickens.
	Now, whether that is some conspiracy or whether that is...
	Just some new way that they have decided they're going to manufacture the chicken feed?
	They don't really care, right?
	The FDA doesn't care. The FDA doesn't care about our food.
	They certainly don't care about chicken food to see if it's going to impact that.
	So it could be something that is some kind of a processing thing that they have in the chicken feed.
	You look at things that are okay for our food.
	A lot of it is just... Things that are put in there for even cosmetic reasons or preservatives or something like that.
	But it is something that on a massive scale will save the people who create the food.
	It's going to save them a little bit of money, so they put that stuff out.
	There's nobody that's going to stop it.
	On Rumble, thank you very much, North American House Hippo.
	Thank you for the tip.
	Good morning, Dave. Today is the first chance I've had to listen due to my own maladies earlier this week.
	I'm sorry you were sick, but I'm glad you're okay.
	Thank you so much. Well, I'm glad you're okay.
	I don't know really what it was, but hopefully, like I said, it was maybe something that I ate and not something that I'm going to pass on.
	Central bank digital currencies would bring hyperinflation.
	There's an article from Daniel Lacalle on Zero Hedge.
	He said, when we look at the inflation, and I agree in general with the monetarists, I think that the predominant thing of inflation is the monetary supply.
	I don't think that's the only thing that's involved there, because I've seen the big inflation that was kicked off by the OPEC oil embargo, and again, what is happening with the Biden oil embargoes and sanctions.
	That is something that's not the monetary supply.
	And the biggest bouts of inflation that I've seen in my lifetime have been kicked off by energy issues, because that's like a value-added tax at every stage.
	Whether you're manufacturing something, or you're taking it to a place where people are going to buy it, shipping it, or whatever, at every stage of that, there's a component that has energy built into it.
	All manufacturing, all transportation, all the supply chain, it's all built into that.
	That's a key thing. However, the monetary policy is also gigantic.
	And he points out, with quantitative easing, there's a number of limits that stop inflationary pressures.
	Because it's got to go through the banking channel and the demand for credit and things like that.
	It delays it. It puts a brake on it.
	But he says, imagine if you take that away.
	You get rid of the banks and now you're working just directly with the Federal Reserve.
	He says, imagine for a second if the transmission mechanism was direct and had only one channel, the central bank itself.
	A central bank digital currency would be issued directly to your account within the central bank.
	As such, it is surveillance described as money.
	And whether or not you agree with his analysis here that it's going to make hyperinflation more likely, that's the best description I have seen yet of CBDC. Surveillance disguised as money.
	Money has always been an instrument of control, hasn't it?
	But this is now, they're adding the surveillance aspect of it, which gives them even greater ability to control.
	He says it can make the currency fungible to avoid the ludicrous but often repeated problem of excess savings.
	They really hate excess savings.
	They don't want you saving.
	That's why they disincentivize it.
	That's why it's savings, you know, are punished, but debt is rewarded in the income tax code because just like the creation of the Federal Reserve, the income tax was created at the same time for, you know, they work hand in glove.
	When the central bank makes the mistake of printing way too much money, as they did in 2020, the impact on consumer prices would be direct.
	With an increase in money supply that exceeded 20% in a year, we would be suffering close to 20% levels of inflation as the limits to the transmission mechanism are destroyed.
	And now imagine if there was only one account, one central bank and the government.
	Guess what would happen? The complete monetary financing of all government spending driving the currency to hyperinflation in a few years and the obliteration of the private sector.
	A de facto nationalization.
	hyperinflation, and full government control and financial repression.
	The most important thing to remember is that central bank digital currencies are unnecessary.
	The benefits of technology, digitalization, the ease of transactions are already there.
	There is no need to create a currency issued directly to an account at a central bank.
	They're unnecessary as well because there's absolutely no need to compete with a digital yuan.
	So, again, that's going to be, you know, when you look at all of the pearl clutching about the Chinese balloon, all the rest of this stuff.
	It is preparing us for war with them.
	It is preparing us.
	They've got to have a foil.
	You know, it's got to be Putin. It's got to be China that they can justify becoming like Putin and like China.
	That is what is fundamentally behind this.
	But the UK is saying that it's likely to need a digital currency very soon.
	This is the Bank of England as well as their Treasury Department, His Majesty's Treasury, as well as they believe it.
	They think it'll be needed by 2030.
	Well, of course, but that date is going to move.
	Yeah, my son says we don't compete with the Chinese CBDC, we'll have a poverty gap.
	laughs We've got to become just like them.
	They do want us to become just like...
	They want slave labor.
	They want you living in...
	When you talk about smart cities and things like that, what about these iPhone factories?
	What about when we were there driving...
	Just outside the city, you'd see people living in storage sheds.
	Literally. There would be three concrete walls with a garage door.
	And they had all their stuff in there.
	No windows. They would just open up the garage door and or close it.
	Tiny, tiny living conditions.
	That's what they want for us.
	On the basis of our work to date, the Bank of England...
	And the Treasury judge that it is likely a digital pound will be needed in the future.
	Again, it's supposed to be 2030, right?
	Except that this is just a few days after the Treasury in the UK posted an open position on LinkedIn for a head of central bank digital currency.
	So they're hiring now for what they're going to put in in eight years, you think?
	Yeah, it's going to be much, much sooner than that.
	The UK reportedly experienced a 35% drop in cash and coin payments in 2020.
	Another part of what COVID-9-11 was about.
	Don't touch cash.
	It's dirty. Cash accounts for approximately one in six payments now.
	And the other five, six are debit and credit cards.
	This is what they're trying to push us in.
	We already have a, you know, like I said, it's unnecessary.
	The technology is there.
	Digital, it's cashless.
	But they want that surveillance aspect of it.
	Again, that's my biggest...
	I thank Tony for filling in, but I also thank him for supporting the program and setting up davidknight.gold.
	Having, you know, money is what you hold, really, right?
	And it is something that is not a note to somebody else.
	That's why you look at the Federal Reserve, it says note on it, because essentially they're loaning this money to the government, and the government is going to tax us to pay them back on it.
	That's not what gold is.
	That's not what silver is.
	And so if you want to get into a program there, Tony's got a great program, the Wolfpack, and you can get in for as little as $50 a month and start accumulating something that's going to give you some level of independence outside of the system.
	This system, I don't think they're ever going to audit the Fed, even, let alone get control of it.
	I don't think that there's going to be any reform in Washington.
	We have to separate out from it.
	We have to have a parallel structure at the local level.
	That's the only thing that we can do.
	As a matter of fact, we should have later in the program, we're going to have Senator Nicely on from Tennessee.
	He's pushing to...
	Try to get a state bank as well as a state depository.
	And he's holding seminars telling people about CBDC. Again, you know, anything that we can do to get away from the central corrupt system is very beneficial.
	But the key thing that you want to do is be able to hold that yourself.
	But to normalize this and to start to take away the centralized, controlled, decentralized things, that is a very positive step.
	We're primarily going to be talking today about toll roads, though.
	That is in the news here in Tennessee.
	Tennessee was one of only 14 states that didn't have toll roads, and now the Republican governor...
	Is trying to change that.
	And so Senator Nicely is not a fan of toll roads.
	And so we wanted to talk to him about that because he's on the Transportation Committee.
	And he may have something to say about that.
	So we wanted to get a scope as to where that is, why you don't want tolls for all the states that are remaining, and why you might want to start pushing back against this in your own state.
	I lived with it. And Texas as well.
	But he should be joining us in the third hour.
	College degrees are losing more career clout.
	How about this?
	Companies are starting to figure out that these colleges that Don't care about merit when they put people in.
	They don't care about merit when they hand out the grades or the degrees and all they're interested in is training revolutionaries and perverts.
	I mean, sort of figuring out that there's not much value in these college degrees.
	Well, if they want to, the whole thing comes down to whether or not the companies want to be able to have a competitive product or service or if they want to serve the government with ESG. That's what it amounts to.
	If they see their business model is to please the government, to engage in corrupt crony capitalism, kind of Chinese-style economy, well, then they don't care.
	But the companies that do want to succeed, want to be competitive, they're going to be looking now at who can do the best job.
	And that's what we're seeing here. This is a survey of human resource managers.
	By intelligent.com, they found 53% of hiring managers said their company eliminated the requirement for a bachelor's degree from some roles in the past year.
	A third of those who dropped the degree requirements did so for senior-level roles.
	So they said for many jobs, it's just an arbitrary requirement, and it does eliminate people needlessly who could be great employees.
	There's such a big chunk here about creating more equity and diversity.
	And so this is not somebody that's at one of the human resource managers that they're talking about.
	This is somebody who's trying to put a positive spin on it.
	And because this is a mainstream media article, they said, well, you know, this would be a good thing if we didn't hire these people that have been brainwashed by diversity, inclusivity, and equity to the extent that when they bring that into the companies, that D-I-E, that's going to kill the company.
	That's why they call it D-I-E. They're going to kill them just like it's Killing the universities.
	But they said, no, this could actually increase equity and diversity because there's people who can't afford to go to college to get a four-year degree.
	Well, I don't know.
	If that's going to be your focus, then it's already too late for your company.
	If you're going to be focused on DIE, you deserve to die.
	76% of hiring managers surveyed said they favor real-world skills over education.
	66% say they have candidates take an assessment to test hard skills.
	This is where you're finally going to get, at some point, Somebody in the real world is going to care about whether or not you can do the job.
	It's just that simple.
	And you're just going to stop playing all of these intersectional games in identity politics.
	64% say they have applicants complete a test assignment.
	They said, for example, some of the professions that are more likely to value experience and ability over education...
	IT, information technology, which we know a college degree in computer science really doesn't give those, even in the upper echelons of those organizations, what they need to successfully be in these positions.
	That's right, because by the time they put it in a textbook, in a curriculum, it's already outdated.
	And that's been the case even when I was back in school.
	Shortly after I got out of school, there was talk about how a lot of the software companies were looking for people who were majors in things that you would think they wouldn't even be able to get a job in, you know, like classical studies or, you know, dead languages or something like that.
	Because they wanted people who had the ability to think but were not trained to work within these parameters that are already obsolete, if that makes any sense.
	You know, when you get into computer science, they might push you very hard to program in a particular way, and they're constantly changing the way they're doing it.
	For example, in my day, it was, you know, The old stuff was Fortran, but then they were moving to more object-oriented coding and that type of stuff.
	So they don't want somebody that's going to be dyed in the wool in an obsolete paradigm of how to program computers.
	They want somebody who can think and who hasn't really been put into that kind of a straitjacket.
	So they were deliberately avoiding people who were computer science majors for those particular companies.
	But of course, there's a lot that is still useful to understand there.
	But again, the focus is now becoming evidently more on can they do the job?
	Because everybody understands that these college degrees have been made worthless by all of these D.I.E. games that they're playing.
	It's also in retail, construction, health care.
	You're seeing them looking at people who can show that they can perform the job rather than just having a piece of paper.
	Like the Wizard of Oz graduation ceremony where he gets the degree to the scarecrow.
	More studies have shown a growing acceptance of professional certifications, associate degrees, and boot camps.
	However, just 24% of hiring managers say their company sees values in those types of programs.
	So again, you see a lot of press from the colleges and from people who say, well, we'll give you a certification program.
	That'll help you to get a job. That's how they make their money.
	But it doesn't necessarily give you any skills.
	So that's a word of advice for parents and for young people.
	Don't feel that you have to play that game.
	Focus on things that are valuable, on your critical thinking.
	Focus on real skills.
	You can train yourself.
	Look at the best.
	The best hackers are the ones who are self-trained.
	They're the ones who take everything down and everybody is worried about.
	And they didn't get that in school.
	They don't teach hacking in school.
	They learned it on their own.
	So I see that as a positive thing that is happening.
	So just keep that in mind.
	You have Henry Kissinger who is now saying that division and disorder threatens the U.S. Well, this is Henry Kissinger.
	Is he celebrating that?
	I don't think he's warning us.
	I don't think he's telling us that we need to come together.
	I think he is actually kind of has a dark joy in seeing this happen, as they say, schadenfreude.
	America is most secure and prosperous when it is the leader in shaping a stable world.
	A stable world cannot be based on American isolationism.
	So again, you know, he is still a dyed-in-the-wool globalist, a Machiavellian.
	So he said, Josh Hawley will introduce legislation to ban Chinese corporations from owning American farmland.
	Well, how is that going to be enforced?
	Right? It would...
	You're not going to...
	If you pass this legislation...
	Then Chinese corporations, which all have CHICOM politicians as a part of them, you know, they're embedded into their corporations as the Biden family is embedded into these corrupt Ukrainian corporations.
	So it's a pay-to-play scheme, and you know that if it's a Chinese corporation, it is part of the Chinese government.
	But when you take a look, for example, at the Reedy Creek District, which is what Disney created in Florida, DeSantis said he was going to shut that thing down, but no, he's going to leave it in place, but he's going to take charge of it.
	I don't know how much of a difference that's going to make, but going back to its creation, what Walt Disney did was Was he went in there with a bunch of shell figures, shell corporations, and individuals that people didn't know they were all working for Walt Disney to buy up all that land.
	And then when they got all the land bought up, Then they said, well, you know, we own all this land.
	They go to the state of Florida and said, we've got all this land and we can go one or two ways with this.
	You can either give us what we want or we dump it, you know, that type of thing.
	And we can build this great thing here and it's going to be a big boon to the economy.
	Or we'll just, you know, walk away from it.
	And so they gave them what they wanted.
	But the bottom line is that it's very easy for the Chinese to come in and to do that type of thing.
	There's no way that you're going to be able to stop them from actually doing that.
	It's simply another part of this Chinese balloon panic that is there.
	We've got to have an enemy and we've got to be concerned about that.
	You should be concerned about About how they are taking over food processing plants.
	I know years ago, they bought up massive pork processing.
	I think it's Smithfield is where they're getting large pork processor in North Carolina was bought by the Chinese.
	And they've been going through and buying up a lot of food corporations as well.
	But you're not going to be able to stop it that easily.
	The key thing the government can do, I think, is to get out of the way.
	And yet, here in Tennessee, even though it is kind of the right motivation, you have the Governor Bill Lee proposing a $100 million grant program for pro-life pregnancy resource centers.
	And my question is, will the state money weaken this?
	What the state needs to do is to protect these pro-life centers from the FBI, from the feds, and they're not going to protect them from attacks of arson and things like that.
	The FBI is not going to do it, but the federal government itself is trying to attack these pro-life pregnancy centers.
	So the state government has a role in interposing them to protect them.
	But in terms of flooding them with cash, I don't know if that's a good thing.
	It certainly isn't a good thing for the taxpayers.
	These organizations have thrived because people volunteer for them.
	They donate to them because of their strong religious beliefs.
	And you can't put a monetary value on that.
	That is a very important thing to have, and I guess we haven't learned the lesson from education.
	Education used to be about religious education first and foremost.
	That was really the fundamental purpose of it.
	You had churches that would come together, and they would do the education of their children because they knew that it was more than just about some kind of a...
	A technical school where you're learning a trade or a skill.
	It wasn't about that. Education is fundamentally about morals and character.
	So the churches got involved in that.
	And when you look at these pro-life pregnancy resource centers, they've been doing fine even with attacks from the federal government because you've got committed volunteers and donors.
	And I just think that the government getting involved in these things is going to weaken them, not strengthen them.
	It's going to make them dependent on the government.
	And after the government gets them used to the money, then you can watch what happens in the same way we've seen what happens with education.
	We let the government take over education.
	You see a bloating.
	You see waste, you see corruption, and then they enact their agendas and they completely subvert what it is all about.
	So I hope that that doesn't happen.
	And, of course, it's a welfare program, and I don't support welfare even for things that I agree with.
	Again, I think it's much better to have the independent community come together and solve these things rather than Subsume it at the state level and subsidize it and get people hooked on the money.
	He said, we can have a healthy debate about the policy specifics, but we can also agree that America is rooted in a commitment to human dignity.
	Well, again, I don't think that's the problem.
	Just like education, a secular government that is going to talk about human dignity isn't going to get you there in terms of being pro-life.
	You have to understand the religious argument for that.
	You have to value that.
	You have to understand God's role in that, or you're not really going to be focused on protecting that.
	When we come back, I want to talk about a new, well, it's not really a platform.
	It's kind of a decentralized network.
	N-O-S-T-R. I don't know if it's pronounced Noster.
	It's so new. It's just now starting to come together, but it has a lot of promise for privacy and for free speech.
	And so we're going to talk about that when we come back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	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.

	He says, David, very happy you're feeling better.
	Next time, is there any chance you can do the show from bed wearing pajamas?
	Well, I guess I could, but I don't think...
	It might be actually one of the higher-rated episodes here of the show if I was throwing up constantly.
	I might get passed around on the internet.
	Be some interesting memes from that.
	I don't know. Let's talk about Noster.
	That's how I'm going to pronounce it. I don't know if that's how they pronounce it.
	N-O-S-T-R. Bitcoin users have already flocked to it en masse.
	It's been the subject of constant raving from Ed Snowden, Jack Dorsey, and others.
	They see it as a replacement for Twitter and Instagram.
	Some industry insiders predict it'll destroy them both.
	This is an article from Organic Prepper that is on Zero Hedge.
	They said, can't really tell.
	It's too early to see if it can do all that.
	It won't be just another social networking platform because it's not really a platform.
	And so what is promising about it is the decentralization.
	And we talk a little bit about what it is.
	It stands for notes and other stuff transmitted by relays.
	That's what NOSTER stands for. But it's basically decentralized and works on cryptographic keys.
	It's not a platform. It doesn't have a server.
	As I said, there's no shiny office building where people are playing ping pong and binging on free lattes.
	None of that. It is a protocol, a decentralized base level protocol that allows anyone to build nearly whatever they like, including a chat room, a social media platform, an interactive game, a news site.
	It was designed in 2020 as a discrete open source substitute for both Twitter and Mastodon.
	Powered and distributed through decentralized platforms and apps for clients in contrast to a conventional social media.
	So again, keep coming back to the key thing that unlike everything else that we're seeing on these social media platforms, it is decentralized.
	One thing that Matt Drudge is always right about, he said these social media platforms are just walled gardens that they're trying to trap you in.
	He saw it as a direct threat to what he does because he was, and still is, or whoever is running it, it is a news aggregator.
	He rose to prominence in the days when people would actually go to websites rather than first go to social media to try to find things.
	Or to go to Google.
	So you would try to build your brand, your website, and people would try to do search engine optimization to help people find the website.
	But with these social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter, others, they became the place where everybody went to.
	And as he pointed out, it was simply a trap.
	Get everybody in there and then close the gate.
	But I don't know what I tried just doing, but...
	You know, it's pretty clear that he's switched sides, but he was right about that.
	Again, it is decentralized is a key thing.
	Centralized server-based social media is always open to outside manipulation, of course, as we see, and that's what's going to happen to Twitter.
	You know, it is going to be, he's had, how many times has the European Union, one guy in particular, He has made visits, keeps addressing him, saying, you know, as of just a couple of months from now, I forget the exact date, when the DSA is going to kick in in Europe, you will do what we say.
	We're going to take 6% of your global revenue.
	And so they're telling him that he's going to censor, and he's going to censor who and how and when, they say.
	And he will. He will.
	He's kowtowed to China.
	He's kowtowed to the U.S. government.
	That's how he's made his money.
	By pleasing government officials.
	And by crony capitalism.
	So it's absolutely true that's going to happen with Twitter.
	As this article points out, outside manipulation, it can be hacked, it can be compromised, it can be suppressed.
	It can be tampered with.
	It can be censored.
	Or, you know, somebody can buy it, as Musk did.
	You know, who's to say that Musk, if he builds up Twitter, won't turn around and sell it?
	You know, it's kind of interesting. A couple of things.
	The last couple of days, one article claims that there's only 180,000 U.S. users on Twitter now.
	When you get rid of the corporations and you get rid of the bots, there's a lot of international users, but only 180,000 that are active.
	I don't know if I've been excluded since I don't do too much there anymore.
	But I don't really see it as having a future whatsoever.
	Mastodon is still based on servers.
	The administrators can censor those or shadow ban users' material.
	They can manage their usernames and identity, and that's the crux of the matter.
	So, this Organic Prep article says, the mainstream media hasn't yet taken notice of Noster.
	It's been making the rounds of the digital underworld for some time, however, and it's beginning to surface and gain some traction.
	The final push...
	It was actually given by Twitter.
	I guess you'd call it the Streisand effect, right?
	What Twitter did was they added Noster to the lists of items and services forbidden from being advertised on this platform.
	People saw this and said, Noster, what's that?
	They hadn't put it there.
	Then that might not have been an issue.
	So... They can't restrict your content.
	This is the way the thing would work.
	Nobody can restrict your content.
	You can restrict things that are coming into you.
	You choose who you follow.
	You choose who you see.
	If you don't want to see somebody, you can turn that off.
	But once you put something out there, then everybody can see it.
	And you can't restrict who sees your stuff.
	So if you put it there, it's public.
	End of story. But in terms of the incoming, you don't have to...
	Hang on a second. I'm going to get something to drink here.
	Maybe that'll help. In terms of incoming, you can control that and you can decide what you're going to put out there.
	Once you put it out there, anybody can see it.
	You can't block somebody from seeing your content.
	So how do you do it?
	Well, it's still being constructed.
	They have a webpage that is on Telegram.
	On February the 1st, Apple and Google approved and made accessible the first Twitter-like apps in their stores that are based on Noster.
	They're called on the Apple platform.
	It's called Damus, D-A-M-U-S. And on Android, it's called Amethyst.
	So if you want to take a look at those and start playing around with them.
	They look similar to Twitter.
	But if you feel a little lost, don't worry or be intimidated because practically everyone there is still learning, they said.
	Programmers are all over it.
	Everybody wants to be intimidated.
	The next Twitter or the Instagram or possibly something even more cutting edge and groundbreaking than anything we now have.
	So there's a lot of programmers are looking at how they can use this protocol and build their platforms on that.
	So there'll be more coming with that very soon, I think.
	But right now, as I said, it's still in its infancy.
	The reason I mention it is because there's hope with that.
	And the more they push and try to suppress things, The more you're going to see alternatives like this.
	And they are pushing to suppress things in amazing ways.
	Just take a look at this. An FBI whistleblower has released documents showing that the FBI is surveilling, quote, radical Latin mass Catholics.
	They say, and they call them radical traditionalist Catholics.
	This is kind of an oxymoron.
	Radical traditionalists.
	These are people who don't trust the Vatican.
	They think the Vatican has been subverted because they don't have the Latin mass anymore.
	So these are people who are very, very traditional, very, very conservative.
	And so the FBI wants to portray them as racist because the Southern Poverty Law Center says so.
	That's how they determine these things.
	The FBI has used the Southern Poverty Law Center as an advisor for anybody that you don't like.
	We'll come after and we'll investigate them.
	That's been going on for the longest time.
	A document released by an FBI whistleblower indicates the agency plans to intensify its assessment and mitigation of radical traditionalist Catholics over the next 12 to 24 months due to an alleged concern that white nationalists Are increasingly making common cause online with attendees of the Latin mass.
	So, again, you know, when we look at this, Steve Swan says, what I was just talking about, Mastodon is decentralized.
	Anyone can set up their own server on Mastodon and federate it with all the other Mastodon servers.
	Well, that's good.
	That's, you know, maybe...
	I don't know that much about Mastodon.
	I was just throwing something else out there.
	They believed that there was one aspect of it, in terms of your registration or your name, I think is what they said, that gave...
	An element of centralized control.
	But it sounds like it's much more decentralized than any of these other social media platforms.
	Again, I don't know about Mastodon.
	Haven't used it. But I'll just pass that on as well.
	That is good if it...
	The more... Centralization and privacy we have the better.
	That's one of the things that George Gilder talked about in his book, Life After Google.
	And he said, I'm in my 80s, but I think before I die, I'm going to see Google disappear.
	Well, Google's made a good first effort at that by their AI chat that came in.
	But... He said that rather than having privacy and other things like that built on after the fact, we used to talk about that as an engineering would refer to it as a bag on the side, you know, like a colostomy or something, you know, something that is, well, you know, this is busted, so let's just kind of attach this thing awkwardly on the side.
	Yeah. Instead of doing privacy and other things like that as an afterthought, he said the people who are going to be successful are the ones who are going to design that from the very beginning.
	And he said this before we had COVID-9-11.
	He realized that it was cumbersome, but it was also going to be a selling feature.
	And the privacy stuff is inherently about decentralization.
	So I think to the extent that any of these platforms or protocols can have decentralization, that's going to be in their favor.
	And I hope they start competing to see who can do it the best.
	That's the good news about all that.
	But back to this, why we need it.
	Because of the FBI and how radical they have become, frankly.
	As promised, the FBI Richmond office is pushing for source recruiting in the Catholic Church in order to mitigate white supremacy on the advice of the leftist and out-of-FBI-Policy Southern Poverty Law Center hate-watch activists.
	This is from Kyle Serafin.
	He is a former FBI agent who is now a whistleblower.
	And he put out an eight-page memo on Uncovered DC on Wednesday.
	The report was written by an FBI analyst in Richmond, Virginia, published for internal agency use only on January the 23rd.
	So this is pretty new. It's titled, Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremist and Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities.
	Opportunities. See, they're like a business.
	They're always looking for new opportunities.
	Places where they can...
	You know, do some kind of a...
	We busted these people, right?
	This is a threat. We took care of it.
	They're always doing that. Judge Napolitano, many years ago, went through a whole long list of all the imagined threats that the FBI created and then busted.
	They're always looking for opportunities because, as a bureaucracy, and that's what they are, the FBI is a bureaucracy.
	It's a Federal Bureau of Investigation, bureaucrats, As bureaucrats, they always have mission creep.
	They're always looking to grow their little empire.
	And so this is mission creep by creeps.
	This is the first FBI Richmond domain product to focus on the interest of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists and the radical traditional Catholic movement, said the document.
	Well, let's stop and think about that.
	Is the FBI racially motivated?
	And ethnically motivated?
	You better believe they are.
	They are just as one-sided as chat GPT with all this stuff that's out there.
	Are they violent?
	Yes, frequently violent.
	Are they extremists? Yes.
	Are they traditional?
	No, they're not traditional. They are very much against the tradition of America.
	That's one of the things I think is funny.
	Radical traditional Catholic movement.
	Such an oxymoron. Yeah, those infamously violent traditional Catholics.
	We know that, what was it?
	That was American Carol.
	Yeah. We had the guys making fun of this character that was modeled after Michael Moore.
	The guy looked pretty much like Michael Moore, as a matter of fact, because it's not too hard.
	Just put a bald cap on an overweight guy.
	But he has this experience, American Carol.
	It was like a Christmas Carol.
	Where he's visited by the ghosts of America's past to teach him a history lesson.
	But as he's talking with a Rosie O'Donnell character and all the rest of them, they're imagining all of these violent extremists and pro-life people and Catholics and stuff.
	At one point, they...
	They are talking and they show a...
	I see their imagination or something.
	They had a nun jump on a bus and says, Hail Mary, full of grace, as she's pulling out the pin of a hand grenade that's like a cross and blows everybody up.
	And that was...
	When they did that, that was over-the-top silly, but now the FBI is doing that, right?
	It's kind of like also part of that they had, well, you know, and this happened before the underwear bomber.
	You know, the guy goes to the airport, and as they're going through TSA, they have to progressively strip down, you know, well, we had the shoe bomber, so we're not going to lose our shoes and all the rest of the stuff, and You've got to strip down to your underwear to get through a TSA. It's amazing how you can't, just like Babylon Bee, you can't out-satire the absurdities of our dystopian dictators here that we have.
	Anyway, among the most controversial aspects of the memo is that it directly cites a defamatory study conducted by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
	On the subject of radical traditional Catholicism, they're probably the ones who came up with that term.
	I did about, a little over a decade ago, I did a report about the Southern Poverty Law Center I called it Prophets of Hate and I spelled it P-R-O-F-I-T-S, Prophets of Hate.
	They're always prophesying about people that are hate, hateful groups, you know, and hate groups and everything.
	They seem to ferret them out everywhere and they seem to profit amazingly off of their ability to discern hate with everybody else.
	The memo also references three anti-Catholic smear articles, left-wing websites of Salon and the Atlantic to defend their position.
	So this is where the FBI is.
	This is our law enforcement today.
	This is our weaponized federal government.
	But of course, it's not just against radical traditional Catholics.
	It's also being used to censor anybody who criticizes the election or COVID jabs skeptics.
	And this monitoring is being done not by the FBI, but this is something that has been adapted from DARPA. DARPA put together some counterterrorism technology.
	To monitor ISIS, which they equipped and created.
	The U.S. government back in the day fought misinformation being spread by ISIS by creating military-grade AI that quickly identified and censored ideologies that radicals were disseminating.
	Now, the Fed's plan to adapt that tech so that the Americans who dissent from the politically correct lines on vaccine safety and election integrity can also be censored.
	You see, ISIS, as I said, created by the CIA, equipped by the military, and the military is then using them, or this enemy that they have created, using that so they can prepare to go to war with us.
	That's what the Patriot Act was.
	That's why all this stuff that happened for the last couple of years is really the second shoe to drop from 9-11.
	It's COVID, 9-11.
	The second shoe was the bigger one.
	The 9-11, taking down the buildings, that was just the excuse to begin laying the groundwork, the foundation for what they would practice on doing and actually roll into place 20 years later.
	So, the report says the National Science Foundation already has handed out millions of dollars to universities and private firms to build tools eerily similar to those developed in 2011 by DARPA. This is from just the news.
	Denver Attaway says, FYI, Southern Poverty Law Center has an office right next to Harvard University in Harvard Square.
	Isn't that funny? Harvard is in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
	Not in the South or Southern USA. Yeah.
	My son says you can call it the Northern Rich Lie Center.
	The thing is, you know, if you go back and you look at when I did that report on Morris Deese, what a fraud he is.
	Lionized by Hollywood and all the rest of the stuff, but Mississippi Burning, they did a movie about that.
	but the reality of it is that his only involvement in the civil rights movement was to defend the KKK when they burned civil rights buses and and beat the the civil rights protesters and stuff they came after the Ku Klux Klan and Morse Deese defended them was paid really really well for doing that as
	In that case, he made what was a very high salary.
	I forget exactly what the amount was.
	But after that, he decided, even though he made a lot of money out of that, he decided he could make a lot more money doing direct mail.
	So he got out of the legal business, and he and another partner started a mail order, a mailing list thing, not a mail order, but a mailing list business, selling it to advertisers.
	So he did that throughout the entire...
	After he defended the Ku Klux Klan, he went into the mailing list business for a decade, and then when Jimmy Carter...
	Actually, it's more than a decade.
	When Jimmy Carter was running for president, he went to him and said, I'll do all this for you for free, run the mailing list and everything for you, but the only thing I want in return is a mailing list of all the Democrat supporters.
	And so that's what he got paid for helping the Carter campaign.
	And then he turned into, he made the Ku Klux Klan his, that he had defended.
	He made them his public enemy number one and started raising money off the Democrat base.
	And then he got a lot of money.
	And even the Democrats, many Democrats are saying, talking about it as a charity, how it's one of the worst charities.
	They use very little of the money that they take in for their stated purpose.
	They put hundreds of millions of dollars in offshore accounts and all the rest of the stuff.
	It's incredibly corrupt. But getting back to what DARPA is doing as they're going to war with us, right?
	They do 9-11. They do COVID-9-11.
	They create ISIS. They say, well, we've got to have a way to deal with ISIS. And yet, it was all about Americans all along.
	It was all about a war with us all along.
	Social Media and Strategic Communication Program.
	These are tools that DARPA used to help identify misinformation or deceptive campaigns.
	And then to counter them with truthful information.
	More accurately, to identify anybody that Opposes your narrative and to shut them down and then to flood the information streams with your narratives solely.
	Similar schemes are now being used against American speech.
	Freedom for Foundation Online told Just the News.
	One of the most disturbing aspects of the convergence accelerator track for domestic censorship projects is how similar they are to military grade social media network censorship and monitoring tools developed by the Pentagon for counterinsurgency, counterterrorism context abroad.
	How many times do they need to tell us that parents who speak out at a PTA meeting are terrorists?
	You're extremists, you're domestic terrorists.
	You're a traditional Catholic or something.
	Oh, you're a terrorist.
	You oppose vaccines.
	You are a terrorist.
	They say it over and over again.
	And this program, the Convergence Accelerator Track, was something that the Trump administration created.
	And, of course, Biden takes it to the next level.
	Kind of like the vaccine.
	Trump creates the vaccine.
	Biden takes it to the next level.
	This current version, DARPA has been funding this AI network using social media mapping dating back to at least 2011-2012.
	How many times have I said that the whole purpose of social media, the genesis of social media, Was to fulfill the idea that DARPA had in the early 1960s.
	You had J.C.R. Licklider at DARPA, a psychologist.
	He came up with the idea of the intergalactic computer network.
	They just called it the internet.
	They shortened it up. So he hatched the idea of it, but it didn't become practical until the 1990s when it became practical.
	The intelligence community, whether you're talking about the NSA or the CIA, they got on the venture capital boards.
	As a matter of fact, CIA publicly created a venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel.
	They wanted to pick the people who were going to compete for control of social media.
	And that's how they did it, through their intro capital money, right?
	The boards as well as through In-Q-Tel.
	So the design all along was to set up social media so they could do exactly what they're doing right now.
	This didn't start in 2011.
	I don't think it even started in the 1990s.
	That's when they really put it into play.
	But I think this has been the design of DARPA and the CIA. They always want to control public opinion, to control what people think, to control what people see and hear.
	And Operation Mockingbird to control the press.
	Everything has always been about mind control, about information control.
	And about information warfare, all the rest of this stuff.
	And so this is part of the continuum.
	It didn't start in 2011.
	It was much earlier than that.
	And it's just, we're now seeing it rapidly escalating in so many different ways.
	So what's happened now is the government says, okay, we've established this normative foothold And it being okay to censor political speech, now we're going to supercharge you guys with all sorts of DARPA military-grade censorship weaponry so that you can now take what you've achieved in the censorship space and scale it to the level of a U.S. counterinsurgency operation.
	It has always been designed this way.
	They see anybody that opposes.
	If you want to talk about somebody that's taken over, an insurgency that's taken over the country, That's what's happened with the CIA and the intelligence community.
	Mark Stein is quitting GB News, Great Britain News, because of demands to pay broadcasting fines.
	This is similar to what Crowder was talking about in the contract.
	And saying, look, instead of fighting this stuff, but of course in the Crowder contract that was...
	It wasn't a contract, it was a proposal.
	It was something as the people who pushed back against it said, well, you know, he could have negotiated it, but instead he set this thing up and recorded the other guy talking because he wanted to set up his own network type of thing.
	Maybe, you know, that's all true.
	But the reality is, is that here in the United States it's done through advertisers, right?
	You can easily arrange a boycott of the big corporations to do your censorship for you.
	Whereas in Great Britain, they just come out and say, well, we don't care.
	We don't have a First Amendment that we have to pretend to agree with.
	We can just impose fines on your speech.
	And they do.
	And so in the situation with Daily Wire, what they were saying was, well, if you get dinged by YouTube, you get banned.
	If you get your content taken down and you get demonetized, there's going to be a penalty for this and a penalty for that.
	And he says, well, pretty soon I'm down to, you know, only five or 10 percent of the, what was it, $50 million or something that you offered to pay me.
	Who can survive on that?
	Well, Mark Stein has a similar situation.
	I don't know what his contract was before, but he had a couple of heart attacks and he's been gone for a couple of months.
	And so GB News used that as an opportunity to renegotiate his contract effectively.
	And Mark Stein has been very bold in terms of coming out in opposition to the Trump shots.
	He doesn't call them Trump shots, but he's talking about the harm that's been done by these so-called vaccines.
	And he has been very outspoken about that.
	The government, of course, is not very happy about that.
	They have a broadcast regulator in Britain called Ofcom.
	And he says, so what GB News wants to do is, he says, I'm on the hook for any fines from the British government for what he has to say, but I don't have any say in our defense against an Ofcom complaint.
	That's all done by GB News.
	He said, Ofcom's surrogate, we'll put it politely, as I call the compliance officer, will be making the weedy defense to Ofcom, and then I'm the one who has to pay the £40,000 fine, he said. So his point is that they're not going to...
	Stand up for free speech and take the hits.
	They're not even going to try to fight this.
	They're just going to say, well, okay, yeah, you got a problem with it.
	Go ahead and hit a fine with him.
	So he knows that they're trying to push him out.
	So he's very upset about the fact that they won't stand up for free speech.
	Lawrence Fox, who is...
	and has gotten very involved in politics.
	And he's been spot on in terms of politics.
	He starred in "My Son Hunter" as Hunter Biden.
	That was a film that was done by Phelan McAleer.
	And anyway, he said he ought to be angry at Ofcom rather than at GB News.
	He said GB News is working within a state-regulated market because that's how the Chinese-style suppression of free speech works in this country.
	If you wish to broadcast live television, only an act of parliament can change that.
	Legislation that is much needed, in my view.
	But, of course, that is not in the works because there's nobody in the Conservative Party that wants to see that happen.
	That's why Lawrence Fox got involved in a different party besides the Conservative Party.
	I think it was Reclaim or something like that.
	He ran as the head of, well, you don't actually elect a prime minister, but he was kind of the chief spokesperson for that party.
	The Justice Department is being sued for ignoring freedom of information requests for social media censorship collusion.
	The Judicial Watch has decided that after they looked at the Twitter information that was released by Elon Musk, they said, well, if we see that much of it from the Twitter side, there's got to be even more of it from the government side.
	And if you were able to get it from the government side, you'd probably see how they're interacting with Facebook and all the rest of them.
	The federal government, as usual, refuses to comply with the Freedom of Information Act, and so they have to be sued.
	They rarely ever respond to that.
	Meanwhile, as we talk about censorship, just to remind you, that is not simply a Democrat problem.
	As we had the Twitter hearings in Congress, and they brought these former people like Gadet and Yoel Roth in to harangue them and yell at them and scream at them, as Marjorie Taylor Greene did.
	You had a Democrat, Jerry Connolly, said, It's wrong for the government to call Twitter and say, take down a tweet, says James Comer.
	He says, so let me ask you this.
	And he asked Yale Roth, he says, there was a back and forth between Trump, John Legend, and his wife, Chrissy Teigen.
	I guess that's how I pronounce her name.
	He referred to them as the musician John Legend and his filthy mouth wife and, quote, mistakenly responded to that email at 12.17 a.m., he said.
	And according to notes from a conversation with you, Mr.
	Overall, Trump's counsel, the White House, almost immediately thereafter contacted Twitter to demand the tweet be taken down.
	Is that accurate? And so Roth confirmed it.
	He said, yeah, Trump did demand that this tweet be censored.
	And so he says, so do you think it's ever appropriate for the President of the United States to direct or otherwise influence a social media company to take down its content?
	And so, this is, you know, whataboutism, right?
	It is wrong. It is wrong.
	It's wrong when Trump does it.
	It's wrong when Biden does it.
	Now, Trump was not doing it in the broad context that Biden is doing it, right?
	For Trump, it wasn't about shutting down political resistance so much and calling for censorship, although during the Trump administration, all of this stuff was happening in terms of more developing groundwork programs by DARPA and others for censorship that has now been escalated by Biden.
	It's just been a continuum of all these different presidents putting this stuff in.
	When he came up with this specific example of Trump, This was, again, because Trump's main agenda is Trump.
	He wants to defend himself.
	And, again, he paid absolutely no attention.
	So the massive censorship that was being done at Infowars, deprogramming everybody with the collusion, the obvious collusion that was happening with all the big tech companies taking down all the different platforms at the same time.
	And then two months later, you had, that was in August, in October, again before the midterm elections in November, you had 800 sites being taken down.
	Not all of them were pro-Trump.
	As a matter of fact, only about half of them were.
	They were all, however, against the police state, the surveillance state.
	And yet it was crickets from the Trump administration.
	Did not care unless it was focused on him.
	One last thing here about free speech.
	This is video gaming.
	You've got a large video game company, Ubisoft, which is the game company behind popular games like Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six franchises.
	They have partnered with the Anti-Defamation League to fight hate speech in gaming, and now they're going to work with the British police to jail.
	Because things are, you know, Britain is a couple of decades ahead of where we are.
	We want to know where we're going. They're going to jail you for your speech, just like they did, you know, tried to jail this A woman for silently praying outside an abortion clinic.
	Yeah, Britain is really gone full Ingsoc, as Orwell would say.
	British state media is reporting on this as a great innovation.
	This is something to be excited about.
	So, Information Liberation says that it's a space where friendships are forged.
	I'm sorry, this is actually from the British, the BBC, talking about this.
	They said that the game spaces are a space where friendships are forged and memorable experiences are shared.
	During the pandemic, online games were a savior for many people's mental health.
	However, its dark side is also plain to see.
	There's abusive behavior.
	Death threats and grooming can be found in online gaming spaces.
	Well, I'm afraid in our society they're found everywhere, aren't they?
	We want to be on the right side of history, they said.
	So they are going to be working with the police to monitor and to inform on anybody whose speech they don't like so they can put them in jail.
	They see specialist officers sharing their knowledge and expertise on harmful online interactions with a 200-strong team working at the center of Newcastle who then can apply that training to their daily work.
	Secondly, an agreement is in place so that in extreme cases where there is a threat to life or potential serious harm, spotted staff can fast-track the information to police.
	Well, would you expect anything less from a country that would arrest a woman silently praying because she can't pray outside an abortion clinic?
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be joined with our guest, Senator Nicely.
	Stay with us. 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.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	The David Knight Show dot com.
	And we're back.
	and joining us now is Senator Frank Nicely.
	He's a state senator here in Tennessee.
	I've talked to him before about his efforts to try to establish a state bank to try to educate people about CBDC, and we'll talk to him about that coming up.
	But there's something else that is very important as well.
	Senator Nicely is, I think, number two on the Transportation Committee.
	Correct me about that, Senator Nicely.
	But there's a proposal by the governor to put toll roads in Tennessee.
	Tennessee is one of only 14 states that doesn't have toll roads.
	That's one of the reasons I love Tennessee.
	I don't want to see that change.
	So I want to talk to the senator about why this is happening now.
	Who's going to benefit from this?
	What happens with these toll roads?
	I've seen it done in Texas, and I was not happy with what I saw in Texas.
	So thank you for joining us, Senator Nicely.
	Well, thank you, David. It's always a pleasure.
	Well, thank you. Unlike you, I just naturally hate toll roads.
	Yeah. To give you a little history, the Cherokee Indians had a toll road between Kingston and Nashville 200 years ago.
	Really? They called it a turnpike, and they'd have a pole across a pike across the road, and then when you paid your toll, they would turn the pike and let you through, and they'd turn the pike back.
	So we've had toll road 200 years ago in Tennessee.
	I'm not sure how the Cherokee managed to do that, but they did.
	But no, I don't like old roads.
	They're hard-owned poor people.
	It's so inefficient.
	There's always some foreign-based mafia-type financial vulture of That's the key thing.
	Foreign involvement. People don't realize how many of these toll roads are owned by foreign entities.
	And you've got people talking about, hey, look, the Chinese are buying up farmlands.
	Well, we've got foreign corporations that are buying up our infrastructure in many different ways.
	We do, and Congressman Burchett, who's an old friend of mine, he was in the Senate here, but I was in the House, and he said it perfectly the other day, you need to get Burchett on your show sometime.
	I'd like to, yeah.
	He said, well, public-private partnerships are fine until the Chinese bomb out.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And always, you know, in Indiana, they had to deal with some Spanish-type mafia-like outfits, and And, of course, they siphoned all the money off the good and then turned it back to Indiana.
	And then they had to cut a deal with the Australians.
	And the governor's office assured me, he said, oh, it'll be an American company.
	I said, yeah, a front company like Bain Capital, Colorado.
	But they get their money from the Middle East, you know, oil money.
	That's where it all comes from.
	They may be Chinese. I mean, who knows?
	They could be Iranian.
	I mean, why do we get entangled?
	George Washington would be That's right.
	And when you look at this, Cintra, you know, has been at the center of so many of these things, but they're not the only ones.
	You pointed out, you know, there's big multinational corporations in many different countries that are involved in this.
	It went back and forth in Texas, a private toll road they're putting there, $430 million in federal funds.
	Because, again, these are foreign multinational corporations in the federal government who want this.
	And I can tell you from experience in Texas that what they would do is it would take them forever to go through the construction process.
	And you talk about the number of man hours lost and the frustration of sitting in traffic jams that were just horrendous.
	And when they opened it up, the traffic was – they intentionally made it worse for the roads that were already there.
	and to try to coerce you into taking the toll roads.
	This is why I think it's such a cynical name to hear Governor Lee talk about it as a choice lane.
	Yeah, he's pro-choice.
	He wants to have a choice lane. That's kind of like the choices we had about vaccines and masks and things like that.
	It's like, well, we're not forcing you to do this.
	You don't have to do this, but if you don't do this, you're going to sit in traffic for a very long time.
	They added all kinds of traffic lights and all that sort of thing once they rebuilt everything to coerce you onto their choice lanes.
	Yeah. Right, and they regulate the traffic on the choice lanes with the price.
	If too many people use it, one of the Democrats down here called it Lexus Lane.
	Are using the Lexus Lane, then they up the price to get off some poor people, you know, if they're too expensive.
	They just sold the Lexus Lane to keep moving at 55 miles an hour.
	So they regulate that with the price of the toll.
	It's a toll. I mean, I don't care what you call it.
	It is a toll. But, you know, at Tennessee, we were...
	And I hate to brag on myself.
	A good Southerner, it's hard for him to brag on his own state.
	But we've done a great job in Tennessee building roads.
	We've got, according to Trucker Magazine, the best roads in the nation, or maybe the second best.
	I agree. I agree.
	It was amazing. We're just amazed at what the roads are like here versus Texas.
	I mean, you know, they're not perfect, but they're really, really good compared to Texas.
	All the back roads are just infinitely better than what we were used to in Texas.
	And the governor is going to put more money.
	He sent a billion in all three grand divisions, $3 billion in the roads this year.
	And like I say, we don't owe anything.
	And in a way, a friend of mine who's got a A master's in finance.
	And he explained it this way.
	He said, there's nothing really wrong with borrowing money if you use it right and you get a low interest rate.
	We've got a AAA bond rating by all three of the bond rating services.
	We're AAA rated, which means that we can borrow money really, really cheap because people trust Tennessee.
	So if we build the roads, we build in the roads and we're dealing with the people we borrow the money from.
	We're selling bonds.
	Now, my children would think that the state had something and they're selling it.
	Well, selling bonds is borrowing money.
	We're selling a piece of paper and getting money back.
	So we're dealing with two people.
	But in the toll road, you're dealing with three people.
	You're dealing with this, then you're dealing with the private business, and then they're dealing with the people who loan the money.
	So you've got three people over here to take care of, which is, in the end, a lot more expensive than just dealing with two people.
	Now, like I say, We're not big on borrowing money in Tennessee, but if we desperately need these other lanes, just borrow the money, sell the bonds, low interest, bill the things, and let the Department of Transportation run it.
	Department of Transportation, I hate to brag on any Government Department.
	But all in all, the Department of State should be bagged on just a little.
	They actually done a great job.
	And it's a slap in their face to say, well, you can't do this.
	We're going to have to get somebody from Australia to do it, back with Chinese money to do it.
	And anytime you've got that much money floating around, They're going to be skimming money.
	That's right. They'll have a computer system set up that will kick every tenth dollar over a separate pile.
	You'll never know it's there.
	They'll be stealing money from us from now on.
	We'll pay for this road six times before it's over with.
	And I mean, I just can't say enough bad things about a tow road.
	You can never get them paid off.
	You can never get them paid off.
	Keep us free in Tennessee.
	That's right. That's right.
	We talked about the Department of Transportation.
	That was the other thing when we moved here.
	In Texas, these things would go forever, and you'd drive past the areas where they got it blocked off and hardly ever see anybody working here.
	You'd see people working all the time, you know, when you go past an area where they were working on it.
	But I agree. If it ain't broke, don't Don't try to fix this thing.
	It's working really well.
	So why now? Why do you think the governor is pushing really hard on this?
	Well, you know what I kind of...
	I hate to say this, but it's true.
	Governors, historically, they always set up a playhouse, a sweetheart deal for some of their insiders.
	And it doesn't matter if you're a Republican or a Democrat.
	Historically, Governor Bredesen had this solar power thing for a couple of his friends.
	Even back under Lamar, they set up CCA, Corrections Corporation of America, for some of their insiders.
	And that could possibly be, I'm not saying it is, but it could possibly be setting up a way for some of his insiders.
	See, in Tennessee, one bad thing about Tennessee is there's no way to know the limited partners in a limited partnership.
	Now, I had a bill one time that said if a limited partnership is doing business with the state or the county or the city, they're going to have to disclose their limited partners.
	So you don't want the governor or the mayor doing business with a company that's owned by him and his wife, just limited partners.
	But that hit a brick wall real quick, so that made me think, well, there's something there.
	Yeah, I'd like to see who's making the money here.
	No, no, no, we're going to do that.
	Yeah, that's kind of a tell, isn't it?
	So how is this being sold to the public?
	Is there anybody that wants this other than the governor and some people who are going to profit from this?
	I mean, what is the general sense of this?
	You know, that's a hard thing to say, and that's a mean thing to say, but that's a realistic thing to say.
	I mean, it could possibly be.
	I don't know. But they're saying, well, by doing it this way and with these public-private partnerships, which...
	You know, they asked me about it early on.
	I said, well, Mussolini liked them.
	I said, they called it fascism back in the old days.
	Yeah. That didn't go too good, but basically that's what it was.
	Yeah. Merger of governments and corporations.
	That's exactly what fascism was.
	Or crony capitalism. You know, hey, we got friends in government.
	Exactly. Yeah. Now, they're saying by doing this, it frees up money that we can spend more money on the rural roads.
	Well, that's certainly not what happened to Texas.
	Mm-hmm. That's how they're selling it to the rural areas.
	They say, well, if we let Spain or eventually China build these roads for us, then we'll free up our money and we can build more roads out in rural areas.
	Well, you know, that sounds good, but I mean, I'm not sure that We've got a huge surplus right now, and I'm not opposed to spending surplus money on roads.
	Everyone benefits from roads.
	If you're a hermit living in a cave and Amazon's bringing you your food, you're a filth.
	That's right. Yeah, that is something that I think, you know, when we...
	We look at the practical aspects of this.
	There has been one example after the other, whether you're talking about Texas or Indiana, where you put these things together, the people who are going to be the foreign corporations, they got a very small investment in it.
	The federal government's got investment in it.
	But these things have gone bankrupt over and over again.
	Then, of course, somebody will buy that up.
	But, again, it is an extremely...
	There's a lot of financial shenanigans going on.
	There's a lot of these things that have been bankrupted.
	And the question in my mind is, why can't we just do what you're talking about and what has been done in Tennessee?
	Why can't we just build the roads ourselves anymore?
	This is coming from the federal government.
	The federal government built the interstate system at one point in time.
	But they're not interested in doing that kind of stuff anymore.
	Tennessee is a pay-as-we-go state.
	And the Democrats started that back years ago.
	I think probably McCorder had it.
	A lot to do with that.
	Because if we pay as we go, every penny of the gas tax goes to the roads.
	A lot of these states, it takes almost all the gas tax to pay the interest on the bonds.
	So, Tennessee, we're lucky.
	We're in good shape. We've had good management back through the years.
	And I think we've still got good management all in all.
	But I just, you know, you take an old country boy like me and you pull up to the toll road, it's $2.
	And you get up there and they say, well, it's $30.
	You say, what's wrong? They say, well, you're driving a dually truck.
	You're a one-ton dually, so that makes it $10.
	And you're pulling that little two-axle trailer behind you, so that makes it $30.
	So I need $30. Well, that's a big disappointment to a man that's planning on eating lunch after a while.
	He's probably got no money to get home on it.
	That's happened to me up north.
	I mean, it cost me 20 years ago.
	It took over $100 to go around Chicago.
	And that was 20 years ago, pulling a little live horse trailer.
	But because it had a dually truck and two trailers behind, and it doesn't matter if it's a You semi two axles, or if it's a little lawn trailer, you've got your lawn mower on with two axles.
	They charge you the same per axle.
	That's what I've seen. Years ago, we would go further north.
	We would go from North Carolina because they didn't have toll roads in North Carolina at the time.
	As we continue to go north, the tolls would become more frequent and more expensive.
	And when we get up into the New York area, they were unbelievably expensive.
	And they continue to go up and never go down.
	And they only multiply.
	And the other thing that you see is everywhere these toll roads come in, The reality is it doesn't free up the money for the rural areas.
	The other ancillary roads are neglected and they do nothing at all with them.
	It's just a really bad move and we've seen situations going back to 2014.
	You had in Indiana, they had a toll road project there.
	That was an Australian company that was involved in that one.
	They filed for bankruptcy eight years after taking in $3.8 billion, and they had a 75-year concession for the road.
	And it was a Republican governor there, Mitch Daniels, that was doing that at the time.
	They have a very, very bad history, especially when the federal government is involved in part of the financing.
	Is that something that Governor Lee is looking at?
	I'm not sure. I'm not sure that he is.
	I don't know. I don't know exactly what he's looking at.
	You know, Tennessee is a great state.
	We need to keep it great.
	And toll road is not a way to keep it great.
	That's right. Well, let's talk about the practical aspects of it, because you're on the, I think you're number two on the transportation.
	No, I'm not number two.
	I'm a baby number.
	I'm number three on the Converse.
	I'm nothing. I'm just a member.
	Oh, okay. All right. Okay.
	Well, I've been seven years now.
	But what do you see happening?
	Are they going to, I would imagine, they would have something to say with moving that legislation forward?
	Well, the chairman, Becky Massey, a good friend of mine, and she's the chairman of Trasher State.
	She's from Knoxville. You know, you can get her on sometime.
	She's sold on the tow road.
	She's driven on them in Texas, and she loves the tow roads.
	I've been charged for them in Texas, even though I didn't drive on them in Texas.
	That's one of the other things I don't like about tall roads.
	They get your number, and they send you a bill.
	Let me tell you what happened to me.
	A couple of years ago, I helped a friend of mine haul a little load of white-tailed deer from Alabama to Colorado.
	And he rented a truck, and I just went along to help him drive.
	My grandson and I went along for the ride.
	A month after I got home, I got a $20 bill in the mail.
	I mean, a bill for $20 on the toll road.
	Well, I didn't rent the truck, and I was just along for the ride, but how did they know to send me $20?
	I doubt my wife paid it.
	I mean, she might have, but they'll probably arrest me the next time I go to Colorado.
	With compound interest, it'll be $700 every time I get back out.
	So you weren't driving, it wasn't registered in your name and they still sent it to you?
	It was a rental truck.
	I possibly could have, he could have put me down as an extra driver, but why didn't they send it to the guy who rented the truck?
	How did they know who I was?
	Was it facial recognition?
	I mean... Well, that's the thing.
	Several times I've gotten bogus charges when we were in Texas, and I would say, well, you know, they take pictures of you as you're going through.
	I said, show me the picture, you know, and it's not me or whatever.
	But they do that with intimidation.
	They know most people are not going to push back against that, and they put a lot of pressure on people to sign up, you know, on like a monthly ticket pass that they've got.
	You know, they give you a discounted rate.
	If you aren't a part of that, they charge you more.
	But if you don't pay them initially or respond to them initially, it starts to go up exponentially.
	And it just compounds at a very, very rapid rate.
	But we were talking about the possibility of it passing.
	So the person who's chair of the Transportation Committee is friendly to this.
	So you think it'll get out of that committee?
	What about the chances of it passing when it comes up for a vote in general?
	There are people who seem to be favorable that I'm shocked that they're favorable.
	I mean, the governor's a good salesperson.
	He's got a very convincing voice, and he's a good salesman.
	It would not surprise me to see this thing pass, even though there's a few of us that are going to cry.
	Now, this idea that they're going to We have tow roads, mainly probably around Nashville.
	That's where the main congestion is.
	My suggestion was give Amazon and Oracle tax incentives to start two hours earlier, two hours late, or maybe an hour earlier.
	Spread the load out on these roads.
	We've got plenty of interstate if we didn't try to use it all at the same time.
	And a lot of these Millennials, they're kind of nocturnal anyway.
	They don't mind starting late and getting off right at happy hour and that'd be great.
	I can't get much discussion going on that, but that seems logical to me is stagger the starting times and spread the load and use what roads we have.
	Now, to be an old country, I like to thank gentlemen, but to help people on tape like me, I can see if you Google Passenger drones.
	And you look at what's going on around the world with passenger drones, full passenger drones, electric drones, you know.
	We're closer to seeing passenger drones in the air than we realize.
	They're coming on fast. There's companies all over the world.
	There were cars in 1910.
	I mean, they're going to get the bugs out of these things pretty quick.
	And it would not surprise me that some of these younger guys be riding in a passenger drone and look down and say, boy, we wasted a lot of money on interstates.
	Well, I think that's one of the reasons why they're not investing in infrastructure anymore, why they're willing to sell off the existing infrastructure to foreign corporations.
	I think that they've made it very clear that they want to ban private cars.
	They've been talking about this since the first Earth Day.
	You know, you look at Davos and the rest of them, they want to ban all private transportation.
	And there will be some, you know, roads and private transportation, but they'll make it so expensive.
	That'll be the first way that they try to get rid of cars is by pricing ordinary people out of it.
	And I think toll roads are a part of that.
	And I think they look at this and say, well, you know, we want to make sure that we have some roads that we can drive, but it's only going to be for the people who can really afford them because they're the important people.
	can really afford them because they're the important people you know just like bill gates can go anywhere he wants to with his uh private jets and he's worth it because he's saving the world you know the rest of us no no you're not going to take a plane flight except uh once every three years and you're going to go less than a thousand uh miles with that and that's a policy coming out of an organization called c40
	You know, just like Bill Gates can go anywhere he wants to with his private jets and he's worth it because he's saving the world.
	You know, the rest of us, no, no, you're not going to take a plane flight except once every three years.
	And you're going to go less than a thousand miles with that.
	And that's a policy coming out of an organization called C40.
	there's a lot of different uh very big cities that are on board with these kind of radical changes in transportation so they really don't want to support infrastructure in the way that we've had it because they don't want to have private cars and and they want it to be everything to be controlled not just the roads but also uh the cars or the you know the drones that are out there They want that to be controlled by a few corporations.
	I think that's what's ultimately about that, and that's what concerns me about it.
	It's the concentration of resources, the surveillance that is there, the crony capitalism that is there, and This is all about a public-private partnership.
	All this stuff that is happening with the world government is really about public-private partnerships.
	That's how they have their world governance is that way.
	And so that's the thing that really concerns me about it, is that it's just another stepping stone in that direction is the way I see it.
	You're exactly right. And I've known that for some time.
	I have bought this real ID. You can't fly now or go in a federal building unless you have a real ID. I don't have a real ID. I don't really need to fly.
	I can fly in my old pickup truck if I want to.
	I just love to never have to go in another federal building.
	So I'm not probably going to get one.
	And if you've got a passport, then you don't have to have one.
	Of course, your passport will have a chip in it.
	But it'll be in my sock drawer.
	It won't be following me around tracking.
	Yeah, that's right. But they put off the date before you have to have a real ID. And I'm not sure that you ever have yet have to have a real ID. When I changed in my license here, they made me go through all the paperwork and everything.
	And it's like, why?
	So much. I wouldn't take, you know, my older paperwork.
	Same thing with my wife. You know, no, we can't.
	You know, even though turning in a license, we got to have all this stuff about your birth certificate.
	And even though we got a paper certificate that is sealed and stamped and all this kind of stuff.
	No, no, we have to have something that goes back to the database there or something.
	It's just amazing.
	The person says, but that's okay, because when we go through all this process, you'll have a real ID. And it's like, well, I don't really want a real ID. But it'll be a gold star on your license, and you'll be able to fly without using a passport.
	And it's like, yeah, I know another country that used gold stars to track people.
	Right. They don't say that.
	That gets me in trouble when I get into my lessons.
	Uh, it's, uh, so what about, uh, is there any, uh, organization, any, um, grassroots organization that's pushing back against the toll roads?
	Not really. And people in my district don't like toll roads and, and, but they're, I don't see any organized resistance to it.
	That's the scary part.
	I mean, uh, people are so busy right now.
	It's trying to stay afloat.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	I don't know. It's, uh, So there's no organization that has risen up to say, stop the toll roads.
	So what would you suggest that, if anything, people of Tennessee can do?
	Legislators or your senator and your state representative say, hey, let's keep Tennessee free.
	If we need some more lanes, let's just...
	We've got the surplus.
	We've got a billion-dollar surplus.
	Let's just put some money out of the general fund over into the transportation fund.
	Build roads and let the Department of Transportation run it.
	They do a great job. Yeah, I agree.
	There's no future in it.
	I've got a bill this year to try to limit the ownership of farmland here in Tennessee.
	I had one a couple years ago and I couldn't hardly get it passed, but now then everybody seems to be I started out with reciprocity.
	You can't buy land here if we can't buy land there.
	And then somebody found a flaw in that.
	They said, well, England stopped. You can't buy a castle in England.
	What we might do now is just have a list of the axes of evil nations.
	It's like North Korea and China and Russia and on down.
	Just have a list of nations that cannot buy land here, which would basically be the ones that we can't buy land there.
	We can't buy land to China.
	You can't buy land in Mexico within 80 miles of the ocean, I don't think.
	I think you'd have to be ready on the inland to buy land in Mexico.
	So, you know, what's almost like for this to sleep at the wheel.
	Yeah, yeah. At least do a quid pro quo.
	The thing is, you know, I look at Josh Hawley's bill, trying to, you know, I talked about that a little bit earlier, and, you know, it would limit Chinese corporations from buying farmland in the U.S., The problem is, just like happened with the creation of the Reedy Creek District there in Florida, as Disney went in, he had these, you know, front shell corporations that would go in and buy it independent of each other, other individuals that would go in.
	Of course, they were all working for him, but you didn't know it.
	You know, it's going to be very difficult to police something like that.
	I was talking to a lawyer I started here in the office, and he said, We'd have to have them sign an affidavit, swearing that there was no foreign investment, and if they were, then it'd be a criminal offense.
	Well, that'd be one way to enforce it.
	That's good. Yeah, the problem with the toll roads, though, is that it's right up front.
	They're not even trying to do this behind closed doors or anything.
	They're doing it right to your face, and nobody really seems to understand or care about that.
	Let me ask you one other thing, too, while we're talking about roads.
	Since we're going to start charging people to go on the Smoky Mountain National Park, not to go into it, but to stop.
	That's the thing that's there.
	That's a done deal? There's nothing to be done or pulled back against that?
	Because I know that... They have roads that go through there, and so there was an agreement they can't block it off like they do other national parks.
	It's one of the reasons why so many people go to the Smoky Mountain National Park was because it was free.
	So they came up with an ingenious scheme that they will charge you if you stop.
	And if you don't pay the fee to go into the park and you do stop, they'll give you a ticket or something like that.
	But that's going to roll out in March, right?
	That's interesting because the legislature...
	In the 1930s, they were pretty savvy, and they understood the federal government.
	They didn't like the federal government.
	They were suspicious of the federal government.
	Now then, we all want more money from them.
	But the deal was, when the state of Tennessee gave the money to the feds for the park, the deal was, you cannot charge.
	If you charge, we'll take the land back.
	So I've got to ask our new Attorney General, General Scimetti, who is very...
	He's asked for 10 lawyers to do nothing but not to push the overreach, the federal government overreach.
	He realized that is a big problem, and he wants enough lawyers to fight that.
	And I'm going to ask him if that's...
	This parking is just a way to circumvent the law.
	The law in the beginning says you can't charge in Tennessee.
	It's going to be free to everyone.
	You know, they need to pay.
	The Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited park in America.
	Yellowstone is number two.
	We're twice as many visitors as Yellowstone.
	And not to mention Burchard again, but Burchard said the other day, he said they need to pay these parks based on attendance.
	So if they pay us based on attendance, we'd have enough money to run the park.
	The park, the whole budget for the park, I think, is just $20 million.
	Which is, you know, for half a million acres, and what it is, it's a, I mean, it's, I think it's a British park in the nation, maybe Glacier might be a little better, but it's a very, if you get up in and do your hiking and get back in the Great Smoking, I've spent a lot of time in the Great Smoking, and it is really beautiful. And I just hate to see the charge for it.
	Yeah, yeah. And we're going to...
	It's kind of interesting, you know, whenever they have a budget disagreement, you know, and they miss the continuing resolution or whatever, and they say, well, we're going to start shutting the government down.
	The first thing they do is shut down the parks, because that's what...
	Yeah, $20 million. $20 million budget, you're going to go shut it down.
	That's right. And McWhorter, Governor McWhorter, he told Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton tried to shut them down, and McWhorter told him, he said, no, the deal was, the legislature said, you can't charge for the parks.
	So McQuarrer and Bill Clinton were, they were governors at the same time and they knew each other pretty well, I guess.
	And he, uh, McQuarrer supposedly told Clinton said, you can't shut down the spokes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think it is.
	It is just a workaround. And I think it's going to change the nature of the park as well.
	You know, they're going to have, I'm sure they're going to Do all kinds of things to enforce it, not just having patrols in there all the time, but they're probably going to...
	I've already noticed when I go in there that they've got all these different areas roped off, no parking here, no parking there, and all the rest of the stuff.
	It's going to be...
	It's really going to change the nature of it, I think, if we can't stop that.
	They say there's a shortage of parking areas up there.
	Well, spend some money and build some more parking areas.
	You've got 500 million acres or somewhere to park.
	It's... You know, I ride horses, and I ride horses in the park sometimes.
	I mean, there's some beautiful horse trails up there.
	But they don't want horses.
	And the way they try to keep horses out is that they don't furnish you anywhere to park.
	There's nowhere to pull your horse trail.
	You have to park off the side of the road or halfway in the way.
	And so they're trying to discourage horse riding in the park.
	By not furnishing any word park.
	So, you know, the state, we may have to step in.
	A governor the other night in the State of Union, he was giving a billion dollars away here and a billion dollars away there.
	We could double the budget to 40 million and build some parking places up there and let people park.
	It's important for people to get out and get out in the nature I mean, it lowers your heart, your blood pressure.
	It's just good for you in a lot of different ways.
	That's right. Yeah. I've never seen anybody on horses in the park, so I guess you're right.
	They've been pretty successful at that.
	I haven't seen bears in the park for the longest time either.
	Well, we used to come up here when I was a kid.
	They were all over the place, and I've got video of us feeding them through the car window, so all of that stuff has stopped now, but...
	Yeah, we've got plenty of bears right now.
	I have bears on my farm, basically.
	Let's talk a little bit about CBDC. You had an event, didn't you, where you were educating people about the dangers of CBDC just recently?
	I did, and it was almost 100 people there, and they were very well educated.
	They knew what was going on, and they did not like what was going on.
	And it was a really good event.
	It was up in Hawkeye County, and Representative Bud Hosey was there.
	Bud knows a lot about gold and silver.
	You could have Bud on sometime.
	He would be good.
	We've got two or three bills.
	The treasurer, who's in charge of our retirement fund, which was $70 billion.
	It's down to about $63 billion now.
	He has agreed now to buy us some gold.
	He wrote a bill for us, and we got the bill that the treasurer wrote.
	It's going to make him feel comfortable by buying We haven't arrived on the exact amounts yet, but we're getting started.
	That's a big step. And then we'll have another bill to make gold and silver legal tender.
	I think we can get that one through because it's in the U.S. Constitution that the states can coin gold and silver.
	I mean, it ought not be hard to pass that.
	So that way you pay taxes to gold and silver and the state could accumulate a reserve because if you pay your taxes at spot, then you're getting more than you could get for it at the coin store.
	If you sell it, you have to sell it a little bit low spot.
	If you buy it, you pay a little more spot.
	So the person paying the taxes with gold would be getting a good deal on his gold and silver.
	So he would be getting spot. The state would be accumulating a reserve at spot Which was cheaper than they could buy it on the market.
	So it's a good deal for both sides.
	And as the state accumulated reserves, like all the major countries around the world, I mean, why has the Federal Reserve got all the bank in New York?
	It's not worth something. You know, China's buying gold like crazy.
	Oh, yeah. So Tennessee could start developing a supply of gold.
	And then if we ever had to, we could issue treasury warrants backed by the gold.
	Well, that's good. So, are you doing more events where you're going to be talking to people about CBDC? Well, I don't know.
	We need to get them to listen to you more.
	I've been shopping you around trying to get people to listen.
	You do a great job explaining it.
	Catherine Austin Fitts does a great job.
	Yeah, we try. As she's pointed out, that is the end game.
	You know, it is surveillance disguised as money.
	That's what it is. Yeah, it is.
	And I said in committee the other day, at one time, we were one nation under God.
	We're quickly becoming one nation under surveillance.
	I mean, they're just unbelievable. Everything.
	These fusion centers, years ago, one of my right wing, everybody thought she was crazy.
	She was just so far ahead.
	That everybody thought she was crazy.
	She warned us about these fusion centers.
	And the fusion center, I guess as you know, it collects data from all the different law enforcements.
	And if you call the fusion center and say, Frank Knisley is a terrorist, and somebody else calls and says, Frank Knisley, I don't check it out, but two years from now, somebody checks on me and says, oh yeah, he's a terrorist.
	I mean, it's crazy. It's too much communication between all the spy agencies and the law enforcement agencies.
	And no transparency and no review.
	I mean, we've seen that with a no-fly list, and then the liberals said, oh, yeah, well, let's do that and make a no-buy list as well.
	You know, people who can't buy a gun, people who can't fly a plane.
	How did I get on the list?
	What am I accused of?
	You know, you're not allowed to know.
	It's a Star Chamber process.
	That's not anything new.
	It's very ancient, but we had the Bill of Rights was set up to stop that type of thing.
	Yeah, of course, the federal government came down and gave the department some money.
	Years ago, I had a bill.
	I need to bring it up again.
	It says that these agencies and state agencies and the commissioners can't cut a deal with the federal government and take money unless the legislature approves it.
	Now, if you want to give money to the Jefferson County Commission, they have to vote to take the money.
	The legislature ought to have to vote to take money from the federal government because they'll cut a deal.
	Most of these agencies down here, the commissioner, he's, oh, they're going to give me $2 million.
	They're going to give me $10 million. And they've got all kinds of strings attached.
	And when the $2 million is used up, Tennessee taxpayers have to pick up the bill.
	So we need, the legislature needs to vote on whether or not we take money from the federal government.
	I agree. Yeah, that's the way they control everything.
	You know, they offer you the money and then, you know, they'll put some more strings on it.
	Is this what we've seen with the schools?
	You know, you're going to put, we're going to give you all this money.
	They get used to the money and then they say, okay, now we want you to put boys in the girls' bathrooms.
	I was like, well, we don't want to do that. Well, we're taking the money back.
	No, don't take the money back.
	They get people addicted to that.
	It's like, they're like drug pushers.
	That's my problem with school vouchers.
	Now, in my opinion, I'm the most conservative senator down here.
	And all the conservatives, these new Johnny-come-lately conservatives, they all want school vouchers.
	They don't realize that as soon as the private schools start taking voucher money from the federal government, they'll let you have it for a few years.
	But when you get hooked on that money, then they come in and say, well, you've got to teach John.
	He's got two daddies. You're going to have to have this drag show now.
	That's right. Yeah, they will control the curriculum.
	Right. And the high-end Private schools won't take the voucher.
	Battleground Academy, web schools, they won't take it because they know what's coming.
	They've got all the students they can handle.
	They don't need the vouchers. But the private schools that are struggling will take the money, get hooked on it, and then they'll have to give in to the government.
	There's an excellent documentary by Mark Hall who is called Killing Ed and it's about the big influence in Texas of a it's an organization that's under Fatala Gulen who was out of Turkey.
	He was a First he was with Erdogan, and then they became rivals.
	But he's got a global network of schools.
	In every other country, they're run as madrasas.
	But in the U.S., they run them as schools of science and math, is what they call them.
	And they're getting nearly a billion dollars in government subsidies, and most of it is happening in Texas.
	And there's been, in his documentary, he shows a lot of information about corruption and other, you know, kickbacks with all that in it.
	They were investigated by the FBI. So that's the kind of thing that you run into with the downside of these voucher systems.
	That's kind of a worst case scenario.
	If I remember right, they recruit all their teachers.
	That's right. That's right.
	Yeah. Good. Have you seen that documentary?
	No, but I know about what he's talking about.
	Yeah, he does a great job of that.
	It's called killing it. But what is the status?
	Has anything changed since we last talked about the Tennessee State Bank?
	Well, the treasurer has told Senator Bolin across the street that he's not opposed to the State Bank.
	Now, that is a big step.
	And we may not get that done this year, but what we may do is we may get authorized a study committee for this summer to put it together, get some people from North Dakota down here, kind of get a framework where we can ease into it.
	We don't want to We need to move really fast, but we don't want to move so fast when that's up.
	We've got to be cautious. I think the key is to start buying silver and gold before it goes up anymore and get some reserve.
	And then the next step is the legal tender and then the bank and depository.
	We've authorized the treasurer to take care of the earth.
	It doesn't take a big space We can store a lot of gold.
	You know, they say if you've had all the gold ever mined in the history of man, and you've melted it and poured it on a football field, it would only be three inches thick.
	That's interesting. We can store a lot of gold in a very small place.
	Yeah. I think he has a agreement with some of the local banks, the secure vaults, and you can keep it in more than one.
	And that way, if somebody did pull a hash, they wouldn't get it all, you know.
	You spread it, spread it out, put all your eggs in my basket kind of deal.
	Right. Well, that's the important thing about that.
	And, of course, you mentioned North Dakota.
	We talked about this the last time.
	The only other state bank in the country, they've been able to weather business cycles and the Great Depression, I think, arguably better than other states have.
	It's been a real boon to the local banks.
	So all of this, having a state bank, is really a move to try to decentralize The financial system from – as they're trying to move in the opposite direction and centralize everything.
	That's not what we want.
	We don't want a completely centralized CVDC where you're interacting directly with the Federal Reserve Bank and there's no diversity.
	There's no other avenues to deal with.
	So we want to fight that as much as we can, and that means that we need to have some alternatives at the state level.
	It's good to be able to have gold and silver personally and to keep that yourself, but we need to broaden that out so that people see the value of gold and to push back against that rush to centralize everything in terms of control, surveillance, and the rest of this stuff.
	So if we can decentralize that, that would be a very important thing.
	I certainly hope you're successful in that.
	I really do appreciate your efforts on doing that.
	And again, if anybody can help, I guess contact your office and see if maybe they can set up some...
	Some more meetings where you can explain CVC to people at local areas.
	That'd be a great thing to do. Well, when the time is right, I'd like to get you down here and let you explain it to maybe the Finance Committee or Commerce Committee.
	I'd be happy to do my best.
	I have a second-size share on callers, but we can get you down there and explain this thing.
	Most people, it's so far out there that people just can't believe it, but It is, but it's coming very rapidly.
	It is sometimes. And I'm not sure that there's a provision to save money with CBDC. I don't know that you can save it.
	But here's the other thing that most people get confused with Bitcoin and stablecoins and things.
	But there are the envy of CBDC. The central bankers, the private bankers, the central banks, I mean, they're a private bank with a federal charter.
	They're private. Private is, as you can, my farm.
	Mm-hmm. They hate Bitcoins.
	Bitcoin is the enemy because it's decentralized.
	So they're going to have to demonize and do something to drive it down.
	And I honestly think this FTX fiasco, I think they built him up.
	Yeah. Oh, yeah.
	Yeah. Yeah, very likely.
	Whether they did or not, they certainly are using it that way.
	They're scaring everybody to death.
	Oh, it's all fraudulent and all the rest of this stuff when, you know, just a few months ago they were buddy-buddy with him, and they had absolutely no idea about that.
	But they are threatened by something that they don't control, and they want to make sure that this is just going to be a proof of stake.
	It has value because we say it has value, not because somebody has actually worked on this.
	That's the whole thing about all the other cryptos.
	They have a proof of work which makes the thing work.
	And they don't want to have that.
	And so the key thing is that it's going to be about complete surveillance and control.
	They're going to sell it Based on how quickly we can process payments and that type of thing.
	But they're also going to demonize crypto by saying that it's fraudulent, it's money laundering.
	And the other key that they're going to do, I think, Senator Nicely, is going to be the environmental issue.
	They want to say, well, look at how much energy is being wasted by this proof of work.
	You know, we've got to mine the coins and that type of stuff.
	But they never worry about how much energy they're wasting when they're surveilling us.
	You know, they've got these... These massive data centers where they're storing everything about us, watching and surveilling us in real time, their biometric databases and all the rest of the stuff.
	They never complain about the carbon footprint of that, but they would complain about cryptocurrency.
	That's just going to be the way they're going to sell it to the general public, I think.
	Well, you know, there's always some insiders that got a sweetheart deal, and the big storage facility, I think, in Oregon, it's owned by Dan Quayle and John Sununu and some other old burnt-out Republicans.
	So they got to store all this information and the taxpayers are paying them rent every month.
	And it's a huge facility.
	I mean, the air conditioning units are the biggest in the world to keep all these computers cool.
	I mean, they're storing what we're saying right here.
	They're storing what I said on my telephone this morning.
	Why do they want everything I've said on my phone, everybody's phone?
	Why are they storing all that?
	Because they store it real cheap.
	Why are they storing it?
	Is it just so John Sanuto and Dan Quill can make a fortune off the taxpayer paying rent?
	I mean, what's the deal?
	It's a win-win situation.
	They go back and see what Hunter Biden said on his phone.
	That's right. They don't want to do that.
	Yeah, I've talked to William Benny, who was global technical head for the NSA for years.
	And he said, you know, they pretend that they don't have this information.
	No, it wasn't Hunter at the time, but it was other things.
	He said, they know all that information, and they could pull that up, but they pretend they don't have it.
	But it is really about total information control, and it's about the surveillance state, and that's what we really need to be concerned about.
	Money has always been a way to control people, but this is really more about surveillance than anything else, and that's going to be money combined with surveillance.
	That is the ultimate control.
	And as you point out, there's not going to be any way to save any money because they can just debit your account instantly.
	You've already had the FDIC talking about how, well, you know, we...
	I don't know with this system if we're going to be able to handle some of these things coming down the pike.
	And we better not tell the public about this because they would panic and do a run on the bank.
	They've already, you know, that video went live.
	It wasn't covered by mainstream media, but it went live.
	The FDIC is concerned.
	So we ought to be concerned about that.
	And we need to start having some other options besides just the one that is becoming more and more centralized.
	I absolutely agree with you. Well, it's always great having you on, and I really do appreciate your efforts, Senator Nicely.
	Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
	I've always enjoyed it, and I'll see when we can invite you down to Nashville and you watch the circus down here.
	I'll be happy to do that.
	I can get somebody to take the show.
	Thank you very much. Thank you.
	Thank you. We'll be right back, folks.
	The Common Man.
	They created Common Core and 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.

	All right.
	and we have a couple of comments about what we're talking about.
	Toll roads, Denver, Attaway.
	It's a false pretext.
	Do you really want to give up ownership of your primary transport infrastructure to foreign investors?
	It's outright theft from the U.S. and from Tennessee if it goes forward.
	Not to mention a national security issue.
	I absolutely agree. It's the same issue we're talking about with farms.
	But again, what is amazing to me is that this is right out in front and in people's faces, that this is what's happening with this.
	And the government is orchestrating it and encouraging it.
	Even more so, I imagine there's some government encouragement and orchestration in terms of some of these agricultural deals, but not to the extent that you see with these toll roads.
	And it is amazing when you go back and you look at the history over the last decade, Of all of these, you know, multi-billion dollar deals and how they've gone bankrupt and had to restructure and all the amount.
	What happens to all that money?
	You know, who keeps that money? And then it's unbelievable fraud, I think.
	Another comment from Solocat, 1980.
	That is why trolls are associated with toll bridges.
	That's right. And Nick Allenbecker, how would anybody other than politicians and road builders, how would they support a toll road?
	That's right. It is something that is, I really hope that doesn't go through here.
	It's always been, as I said, Something that I would see a greater intensity of the more you got to typically Democrat states where they're all about taxes and about central control of everything and they hate individual cars.
	They want all transportation to be public transportation.
	And that is what we are up against now with the smart cities and the rest of this stuff.
	Let's talk about what is happening in Over this coming weekend, of course, it's Super Bowl Sunday.
	And here in Tennessee, there was a bill to, again in Tennessee, there was a bill to get rid of Columbus Day and make it a Super Bowl holiday.
	Now, of course, in Tennessee, there's not any, it's not a paid holiday, so it's not really something that is going to have any effect, but you had a few Democrats who decided that they wanted to just get rid of Columbus Day because they don't like our history.
	There's only one reason for the bill to exist, and that is another attack on Columbus Day.
	And so state offices are not closed on Columbus Day or anywhere near Columbus Day in Tennessee.
	So the bill essentially changes nothing except adding language that officially rejects the existence of Columbus Day as a national holiday.
	And we're seeing that over and over again.
	It's part of a... You know, what we've come to expect from these types of groups.
	And it's the continued attack on where we are.
	But it's not just coming from Democrats.
	It is really coming from the media in particular.
	Take a look at a couple of things that are coming out of Disney.
	This is one cartoon that you can get if you subscribe to Disney+.
	Your kids can see this.
	This country was built on slavery, which means slaves built this country.
	Tilled this land from sea to sea to sea.
	First there was rice, tobacco, sugar cane.
	Then Whitney did his thing and cotton became can.
	And we were its soldiers.
	Four million strong. Fighting for America's freedoms even though we remained America's slaves.
	Built this country. The descendants of slaves continue to build it.
	Slaves built this country.
	And we, the descendants of slaves, continue to build it. Sentence of slaves in America have earned reparations for their suffering.
	And continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in the systemic prejudice, racism, and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for.
	Slaves built this country.
	Is that enough?
	I've got more.
	I could finish that one and there's a second one.
	Question! Angry cartoon activists.
	This is what Disney will feed your kids if you're foolish enough to pay their subscription rates.
	Yeah, this is the political agenda of Disney.
	Pretty amazing, isn't it? You've seen this type of radical political activism for overthrowing our system, our country, our historical values.
	You've seen that at the colleges.
	And now it's moved in to get started on kids at a very, very young age when they're watching cartoons.
	That's what Disney has turned into.
	Now, if you look at the other side of this, though, they only do this in America.
	Because in China...
	And Disney owns the Simpsons as well now.
	Disney's become this giant holding company.
	They're like GM that came in initially and, you know, they started buying all these different brands.
	That's how you got Buick and Chevy and all these other, Cadillac, all these other independent car companies.
	They all got bought up by GM. Well, Disney's become kind of general entertainment, except there's already a GE. But, you know, they own the Simpsons.
	And the Simpsons did this joke about China, and the Chinese government decided that they wanted it censored.
	And so Disney was just a little bit of criticism.
	Nothing nearly as ongoing and relentless and as hateful and as angry as what you just saw with that program.
	This is the short Simpson clip that China demanded be censored, and they did.
	So here's Mark Simpson.
	She's on a bicycle taking a virtual journey.
	It's like a Peloton. .
	Call it pedal time.
	Be called the wonders of China.
	Bitcoin mines.
	Forced labor camps where children make smartphones.
	And romance.
	Okay.
	So, yeah.
	Forced labor camps.
	Bitcoin mining.
	But, you know, look.
	They don't want you to focus on what is happening here and now.
	They want you focused on the past.
	And they also want to tear down America, and they will do anything that China says, right?
	That is really what is happening with Disney.
	And fortunately, you've seen their subscriptions plummet.
	But their stock has gone up.
	So as they lost business because they had record drop in their subscribers, a rare loss of subscribers in the quarter, they shed more than 2 million customers compared to the previous quarter.
	And so they said, well, that's okay.
	We'll fire a bunch of people.
	And Wall Street said, good, we're good.
	So their stock soared as they lost $1.1 billion in the quarter.
	This is why when you get to Wall Street, it's the same as having a central bank that is printing money for these corporations.
	Disney could lose money for decades.
	And I know because we used to compete with Blockbuster, and Blockbuster lost money for decades.
	Never stop them from expanding or doing business or whatever.
	Because there's always a greater fool on Wall Street that'll give them money for continuing on.
	That's going to be the case with Disney as well.
	But they don't have to have your money.
	You don't have to subscribe to that garbage and bring that filth into your...
	Because that's what it is.
	It's nothing other than hate that they're pushing on people.
	Hate, division, civil war, race war.
	They dropped 2.5, 2.4 million subscribers in their first loss.
	Bob Iger says, a significant transformation is underway.
	Yeah, that's what they're trying to do to our society, a significant transformation.
	I don't think that they're going to change their programming.
	They are completely revolutionary in it.
	And so DeSantis, even though he took exception to their critical race theory, to their LGBT pushing a grooming of kids and that type of thing.
	They said they were going to take over the Reedy Creek District.
	Well, they're going to have the power to appoint members to oversee the district, but they're not going to eliminate it.
	Isn't that similar to what we've been seeing over and over again, right?
	Promise something and then pull back a bit.
	In just the last couple of minutes we've got here, I want to talk about what is happening with the Church of England.
	Absolutely amazing to see as we talk about the grooming and the transitioning of kids, and they want to push that on everybody.
	Now the Church of England is not satisfied with that.
	They need to transition God.
	They want to have gender-neutral language, essentially neuter God and His message.
	Because what they apparently don't understand is the whole issue of headship and complementary roles.
	They're coming to the Bible, the Church of England, which is just completely apostate, if anybody didn't realize that.
	They're looking into the use of gender-neutral terms when referring to God.
	They don't like the way God referred to himself.
	They know better.
	It is absolutely amazing, but it's part of what is happening to us now.
	As Mark Twain said, God created man in his own image, and then man returned the favor.
	So they're trying to create him in the image of LGBT.
	Thank you for joining us.
	The Common Man.
	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.
