Using free speech to free minds So...
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 10th of February, year of our Lord 2023.
Day 1,065 of the emergency.
Thank you.
Today we're going to have Gerald Salenti on and we're going to talk about the war.
There's been some back and forth about the pipeline thing, but we have President Trump who's weighed in.
He's put out a, I guess, a major policy statement for his campaign, about four minutes long.
We're going to tell you about a minute of it, talking about how he's going to fix energy.
Yes, energy is the fundamental problem right now.
As a candidate, Trump always seems to know what the problems are, doesn't he?
But as a president, it remains to be seen what, if anything, he would do about the Paris Climate Accord.
Or, you know, that other pipeline.
That's a big part of the world's global problems.
We're going to begin with the news.
Stay with us. We'll be right back. Well,
yesterday we talked about the FBI saying they're going to come after traditional, radical traditional Catholics.
You know, that makes you a suspect to them if you want to do the mass in Latin because they're very traditional about it.
And we were laughing about it and we said, It reminds me of American Carol, and my son and I were talking about it.
It's like, yeah, remember when they did this?
Well, here's what that looks like.
This is what was basically in the FBI Richmond report, Richmond, Virginia report, that was leaked.
All right, roll it.
The civilized world braces itself, for an unsort of death and destruction, brought on by radical Christians as they...
No, no, no, this is where it is.
...their ideology through terror throughout the world.
The dreaded cross is a cross.
Jesus!
Hail Mary, full of grace!
Look out! It's those Christians!
72 virgins, here I come!
The nun blowing herself up.
Suicide nun.
Radical Christianity. And I hate having to take these off every single time.
Yeah, yeah, ever since that Christian hit explosives in the bottom of his shoes.
Sorry. You can't take this on the plane.
I'll have to confiscate this. A tube of toothpaste?
Yep. No liquids ever since the Christians tried to bomb that plane with smuggled nitroglycerin.
And I can take this as well.
Thank you. Please remove all articles of underclothing.
Oh, brother. Ever since the underwear bomber.
The radical Christian underwear bomber.
All items of underclothing must be placed flat in the trays.
Damn those Christians.
Yikes!
My God!
Ma'am, if you had extra bleach, you might have a shot of getting those stains out.
Hey!
Ma'am, have you considered a change in diet?
What?
Honey?
Wouldn't hurt.
Ever since the suppository bomber?
The Episcopal suppository bomber.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, my son asked, was this for the actual underwear bomber?
I think it was, because I had to go back and check the dates on that.
But, you know, as soon as the underwear bomber happened...
You had Michael Chertoff, who had been the first Bush head of Homeland Security.
They created Homeland Security. They put Michael Chertoff in charge of that gigantic perversion.
And when he retired, he went to a company where they made the machines for doing the naked body scams.
And they had them ready to roll out.
As soon as the underwear bomber happened on Christmas holidays, they already had these things manufactured and stockpiled and they ran them out.
So I think that was before it actually.
The FBI has now pushed back on this.
I said they don't normally comment on internal intelligence reports because usually the internal intelligence reports are not leaked.
But they addressed this memo after it was published by an FBI former agent, Kyle Serafin, whistleblower.
They said it was dated January the 23rd, came out of Richmond, Virginia office, and as he said when he put the report out there, he says the FBI apparently believes that white supremacy has found a home among Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass.
And so he said they're crossing a line many Americans will find themselves on the wrong side of for the first time in history.
This is what a politicized FBI looks like.
And, of course, we all know what a politicized FBI looks like because it's been that way from the very beginning.
It's just been politicized against the other side.
Jager Hoover has always been a politicized FBI. But now they've come back and said, doesn't say that they repudiate it, right? They're not going to repudiate Southern Poverty Law Center.
Southern Poverty Law Center has been targeting people for the longest time.
They're political opponents.
This is a politicized FBI that takes direction.
From the Southern Poverty Law Center, from the ADL and the rest.
Yeah, it was before the underwear bomber.
It came out in 2008.
The underwear bomber was 2009.
So they probably filmed it back in 2007.
I thought that it was because I had talked about that and anticipated the absurdity of all this stuff.
But they didn't anticipate the machines, unfortunately.
So as we talk about how the FBI and the federal government has gone off the deep end, and we talk about so many times all these crazy situations, the Tyree beating, that, of course, you know, was a...
An issue of people who were hired who had criminal records.
They dropped even that requirement for being a cop in Memphis because they've got to fill all these positions because they've got to go out and write tickets or whatever they're doing that's not really anything that we need necessarily.
So we have these demands to hire more and more cops.
Everybody needs more and more cops.
Can never have enough.
And they can never do enough.
And so that usually is where we are.
And then following up on what happened with the beating death of Tyree by officers of the same race, then turned into another race war meme by the left, you have a situation of the guy who was shot and killed trying to run away from the cops with both legs amputated.
And again, we haven't seen all the information about that.
That's why I haven't talked too much about it.
He did have a knife.
He did have other issues, emotional issues.
But whether or not it was necessary to kill him, wasn't there something that they could do other than shoot him to death as he's trying to hobble away on two stumps?
So we see all this stuff about the FBI. We see this even about the local police.
I wanted to give you this article, though, because there are good police officers out there.
And thank God there are.
Because imagine if we had all the police, like the ones in Memphis, you know, where you have this heavily politicized system run by the police chief herself, had issues and was kicked out of a police department.
This story comes from Faithwire.
A cop is praised for an incredibly kind gesture caught on a body camera after stopping to help a weeping man in an emotional crisis.
So many times we have somebody who is in crisis or something else, like someone calls the police, the police show up, they wind up executing the person because they don't follow orders or something like that.
But this is what it ought to look like.
We ought to have police officers who actually don't just react to things out of fear.
We try to reasonably and rationally understand the circumstances here.
Michigan police officers getting praise for offering a simple gesture to a struggling man in need of kindness, love, and grace.
The act of compassion was in Macomb County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies Jacob Thorne and Fred Parisek got a call from an individual who's worried about a car parked on the side of the road.
The caller was concerned for the driver's safety and believed that he may have passed out.
So the police arrived on the scene.
Thorne met the man that authorities called Joe to protect his privacy.
Joe told Thorne that he had pulled over the side of the road while on his way to work because he was feeling down and just needed a break.
Deputy Thorne asked what he could do to help.
Joe simply responded that he could use a hug.
And that was all.
Just a hug, he said.
Deputy Thorne was more than happy to help a fellow human and gave Joe a good, strong hug as Joe was able to release some emotional tears.
Thorne and Parasek, the other officer, spent additional time with Joe, had a discussion about his emotional needs, and they gave him some information as to who he could call, gave their contact information so he could reach out to them in case he felt overwhelmed again.
And so that's the way it really ought to work.
And it could work that way if we changed our training, if we were careful about who we hired, if we were careful about how we trained them.
That really would be a good thing, but that is the exception.
To the rule, unfortunately.
There was another story this week about a man who rented a car, had Florida license plates on it, drove to his grandmother's house.
I think it was Christmas Eve or something like that.
And he pulled up in the driveway.
It was late. He didn't want to disturb her, I guess.
So he just sat there and fell asleep in the car.
I don't know why he had a gun on his lap, but he had done nothing wrong.
He was sleeping in his grandmother's driveway, and she called the police because she didn't recognize the car, didn't see him.
The police showed up, they see the guy in the car with a gun in his lap, and they shot him to death.
So, there needs to be different ways to resolve this.
And I just mentioned that because it is possible, and we do get these stories from time to time, of police officers who do the right thing.
We had many police officers who said, I'm obeying the Constitution.
I took an oath to it.
I'm not going to enforce these mask mandates and these other things.
I'm not going to hand out tickets for it.
Well, they were purged.
But there were some police departments that then hired them.
There are some good ones around.
That's why you need to pay attention to what is happening in your local jurisdiction.
Especially when you don't have any say-so about the police departments.
They are chosen by the mayor or whoever the city manager is and that type of thing.
They're a political career appointment.
But the sheriff you vote for, sheriff you vote for, So on Twitter, not on Twitter, in Congress, we had Twitter hearings.
And one of the most interesting things, I think, I agree with Jonathan Turley, the most interesting thing that came out of the Twitter hearings was not the, you know, the back and forth with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
It was the Democrats' own star witness.
And what this star witness, not star witness, it was the only witness that the Democrats called.
And he said it proved to be the most enlightening and chilling moment.
Former executive Twitter Anita Collier Navaroli testified on what she repeatedly called the nuanced standard used by her and her staff on censorship.
And Jonathan Turley says she was questioned by Melanie Ann Stansbury, a Democrat of New Mexico, And he said her answer captured precisely why Twitter's censorship system has proved to be a nightmare for free expression.
When she asked her what Twitter has done and is doing to combat hate speech on the platform, Navaroli correctly declined to address current policies since she's not been at the company for some time.
However, she then said that they balanced free speech against safety.
This has always been the case, and I've always used the analogy, going back to Benjamin Franklin and founders of this country, they understood that there is no trade-off between liberty and safety.
If you give away liberty, that does not make you safer.
That's what they always tell you.
Yes, liberty can be dangerous.
Life is dangerous.
There are risks in life.
And if you don't want any risk, you put a mask on your face, you stay home, you don't drive in a car, you don't ride in a plane, you don't do anything.
You just sit there and wait to die.
That'd probably be the safest thing you could do.
Don't get in the bathtub either.
You could slip and fall and die there.
So, people who are obsessed with safety, and that's what our government has become.
Our government has destroyed our liberty Everywhere by claiming safety.
That's what Eric Peters always talks about.
Safety. Like a mooing cow.
And they use that as a bargaining chip.
It's a Faustian bargain.
I want to say a Faustian bargain.
I've said that so many times. There's a Faustian bargain with the devil.
To say that I can exchange, here's some of my liberty, I'll give that up, and you'll make me safer.
Because that never happens, Benjamin Franklin says, those who will sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither.
I've said, and history shows, that they get neither.
Because the people who demand your liberty are not going to be people who are going to keep you safe.
You're not going to be safe, well, you know, you want to be safe, go lock yourself in a jail cell, right?
You'll have absolutely no liberty.
But are you safe there?
And they can do anything they want to to you.
You are completely dependent on them.
And that's why they always offer this bargain.
Give up your liberty. I'll make you safe.
Never happens. It's a fool's bargain.
And so that's where this thing begins.
But then it gets worse.
It's not just, you know, give up your liberty, your free speech for safety.
It gets worse. Listen to what she has to say.
So this is a Democrat, Stansbury, who asks Navaroli about this trade-off between liberty, free speech in this case, and safety.
She said, instead of asking just free speech versus safety, says the former Twitter executive, instead of just asking free speech versus safety, we say, free speech for whom?
Public safety for whom?
So, whose free expression are we protecting?
At the expense of whose safety?
And whose safety are we willing to allow to go to the winds so that people can speak freely?
And then the Democrat Stansbury says, exactly, exactly.
You see, there is no...
There's no equal protection under the law.
There is no protection of anybody's rights under the law.
This is not blind justice.
This is politicized justice.
Politicized safety.
Politicized liberty as a privilege.
So he says the statement was reminiscent to what the former CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, said when he pledged to regulate content as reflective of things that we believe lead to healthy public conversation.
He said the company would, quote, focus less on thinking about free speech, unquote, because he's not from America.
He doesn't have our values, frankly.
Anyway, that's one of the reasons they picked him.
Speech is easy on the Internet.
He said most people can speak.
Where our role is particularly emphasized is who can be heard.
You understand that? Anybody can speak, but nobody can be heard.
And I've mentioned this before.
When you look at the shadow banning and you look at what is being done on social media, I'll tell you that it's coming from both the Republicans and the Democrats because they've been doing it at their big presidential conventions for as long as I can remember.
When you go to the DNC or to the RNC, they allow people to show up.
And to protest. But you can do it only in a cage.
That's going to be several blocks away from where everybody's coming in.
They'll actually even give you a microphone, just like Twitter.
We'll let you have an account.
But nobody will hear you.
Because you'll have a microphone and you'll have a little soapbox there that you take turns with other protesters in the cage.
That is far removed from the event's entrance.
Anybody can speak, but nobody will be heard.
This is the model for their social media shadow banning and censorship.
Navaroli, and that's why I say this has been done by the Democrats and Republicans as long as I've been looking at these conventions.
And it is shameful as well as comic.
You know, a tree falls in the wood, nobody hears it.
Does it make any noise? Well, you know, if you've got a protester at the convention, the RNC or the DNC convention, and they're in a cage down the street, nobody can hear them.
Did they say anything? No.
No, they didn't, actually. We can answer that question.
Not about the tree, but we can answer it about the protesters.
The suggestion is that free speech protections would differ with the speakers, or who was deemed at risk from the exercise of free speech.
Who deems the risk?
Well, the same people who decide what is true and what is false, right?
Your masters. Greg Talent, thank you very much for the tip.
I appreciate that. Thank you.
In the hearing, the Democratic members and witnesses repeatedly turn to the statement of Oliver Wendell Holmes on the shouting fire in a crowded theater.
Let's put this to rest once and for all.
I've never talked in depth about this.
But let me just give you Jonathan Turley, who's a lawyer, what he has to say about this.
He says, the line comes from Schink v.
United States, a case that discarded the free speech rights of citizens opposing the draft.
This is another one of these things that goes back to World War I. And they'll lead up to it.
What a shameful exercise that was.
I mean, so much of our society was destroyed by Woodrow Wilson, the guy who put in the Federal Reserve and the income tax, but he also got us involved in this war.
He began the globalist League of Nations after the war, that type of thing.
He weaponized information in the press using Edward Bernays, a master of propaganda and lies, who then had a very lucrative career after the war on Madison Avenue.
Became the father of American advertising.
All these different things that happened.
Jager Hoover got his start in that with the Palmer Raids.
And, uh, so, I mean, uh, it was quite a time.
Not a great time in America, actually.
And so, during, um, uh, leading, uh, uh, you had, at this particular time, Charles Schenk and Elizabeth Baer were leading socialists in Philadelphia who opposed the draft In World War I. So flyers were distributed that encouraged men to, quote, assert your rights, stand up for your right to refuse such conscription as a form of involuntary servitude.
So they charged them that you can't say that.
Took it to the Supreme Court, writing for the court, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes dismissed the free speech interest in protecting the war and the draft.
By the way, let me just say that.
Not only was there this free speech case, but I mention this many times because as the left began to embrace censorship as their preferred technique, they prefer it to debate, To discussion.
As they were embracing all of that, especially the Hollywood left, I said, do you realize that the Supreme Court, as part of this same period of time where they were ramping things up to World War I, I said, do you realize that they put a film director and producer in jail because of the movie that he created?
The movie was The Spirit of 76.
Woodrow Wilson wanted to go into the war on the side of the British.
And of course, when you do a movie about 1776, the British are the bad guys.
So he didn't want to see a movie about that.
And that wasn't the intention of the director.
The director didn't really come into this thing with a political agenda like...
No, this guy was not politicized at all.
As a matter of fact, the reason he did it was because the first...
A grand movie in terms, all the movies beginning were very short, you know, reels.
And the first real feature-length film that had a grand narrative and big sets and all the rest of it was The Birth of the Nation, which was a Civil War film in the aftermath of Reconstruction, D.W. Griffith.
And he did a lot of the sets.
They had a recreation of the Surrendered Appomattox, Assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
There's some pretty impressive visuals, especially for the day in that.
But the guy who did that said, I can do my own.
I'm going to do one about the American Revolution.
And so since he'd had the ability to set these things up, he did the American Revolution, called it the Spirit of 76.
And the Woodrow Wilson administration said, no, you're going to censor that.
Heavily censored it.
And when it debuted in Chicago, he didn't like that.
He pulled those things back in and put it, I think, in L.A., and that was it.
You had your warning. They charge him.
He got 10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine, which was astronomical in those days.
That was before the Federal Reserve, created by Woodrow Wilson, destroyed the value of the dollar.
So, you know, multiply it by about a factor.
I guess we've lost 99% of the value.
You know, it's worth 1%. We'll make that 100 times greater.
And so, you know, you get a multi-million dollar fine.
Anyway, he took that to the Supreme Court.
And the Supreme Court said movies don't have any First Amendment protection.
There's no free speech protection for movies.
And that stood until the 1950s.
And then another case said, yeah, you know, they took it to court and the court changed its mind again, you know, just like they did with Roe v.
Wade. So, again, free speech interests.
In this case, not, you know, free speech versus my propaganda about how we got to support the British whatever, but free speech versus the draft.
So Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote the most regrettable and misunderstood judicial soundbite in history, says Jonathan Turley.
Quote, The character of every act depends on the circumstances in which it is done.
The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.
So, shouting fire in a crowded theater quickly became a mantra for every effort to curtail free speech.
Holmes sought to narrow his clear and present danger test in his dissent in Abrams v.
United States. He warned that, quote, we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death unless they so eminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required to save the country.
So, the bottom line is, you know, and later on he talks about, you know, later Supreme Court decisions, said that even calling for violence in a Supreme Court decision in 1969, even calling for violence is protected under the First Amendment unless there is a threat of imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or to produce such action.
And that came into play when we're talking about January 6th.
Look, it has to be imminent. It has to be there.
You can't just say, you know, we need to do something about this.
We need to take this back. We need to fight, you know, for our rights and that kind of...
Well, that's not incitement.
If you're there and you're telling people, fight them now, that is different.
And so that was what the discussions were about January 6th, what had actually happened at that point in time.
But the bottom line is, and this is me, not Jonathan Turley, The bottom line is, this is one of these things that, just like Thomas Jefferson writing the letter to the Danbury Baptists and saying there is a wall of separation between church and state.
What was the context for that?
People take it out of context.
They don't understand what he was saying.
He was reassuring The Danbury Baptists, Danbury, Connecticut, or was it Rhode Island?
Anyway, he was assuring these Baptists that, I'm thinking that it was Rhode Island since Rhode Island was predominantly.
Never mind, I'm getting in the weeds here.
He was trying to reassure people who wrote to him saying, are you going to try to establish a state religion?
Which is what his opponents had accused him of in the election.
And you had people who were very afraid.
They were burying their Bibles and hiding them because they thought Jefferson was going to send the feds in to confiscate their Bibles because of things that they had heard in the campaign.
And he said, no, there's a wall of separation between us.
We can't do anything like that. And what he meant was the wall was around the federal government.
Now we put the wall around your free exercise of your religion.
If you're a teacher, you can't even pray.
This is where it's been in the middle of the 20th century.
Can't even pray. Can't even pray silently.
Well, we just had that reversed.
We had the football coach who was fired for praying silently on the 50-yard line after the game.
He's just been vindicated because there is no prohibition against that.
That is not establishment of religion.
Establishment of religion was setting up an actual state church that people had to attend and or pay to support.
Those are requirements, legal requirements.
That's what they were against.
But the bottom line, the reason I get into this, is because people grabbed that phrase.
That was not something that amended the Constitution or changed any laws.
It was something that was uttered by Jefferson.
And so they took what Holmes said about shouting fire in a crowded theater, and they've elevated these things as if they are one of the founding principles of our country and found in the Constitution.
And they're not. You know, that's the opinion of Jefferson.
That's the opinion of Holmes.
And the Supreme Court opinions are not permanent, engraved in stone, because they can and do change.
And sometimes they change frequently.
It's one of the reasons I would often talk about that particular case with the movies.
Going to President Trump, as I said, he has released a statement, a campaign ad, over four minutes long.
I have narrowed it down for you here.
This is President Trump, who always knows what the crowd wants.
He's not wrong in terms of what he says are the problems.
Joe Biden's war in American energy is one of the key drivers of the worst inflation in 58 years, and it's hitting every single American family very, very hard.
Biden reversed every action I took that achieved energy independence, and soon we were going to be energy dominant all over the world, energy dominant.
He canceled the Keystone XL pipeline.
He reentered the horrendous Paris climate accord, so unfair to the United States, good for other countries, so bad for us.
He put up huge roadblocks to new oil, gas and coal production and much, much more.
In effect, Biden's anti-American energy crusade is a massive tax hike on everything.
Higher energy costs raise the price of food, raw material, shipping, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and everything else.
The country that now benefits most from Joe Biden's radical left Green New Deal is China.
High energy prices in America are a gift to China, a major factor in driving our heavy industry overseas.
Well, of course, it has been a gift to Putin as well.
Putin got a big bonus because as they put sanctions on, people still needed the energy.
He would sell them the energy for gold or for rubles at a 30% discount of the massively inflated price due to Biden's sanctions.
And they still made a fortune.
Made more money than they would have made before.
Plus, he weaponized it against their own financial system as well, the U.S. dollar being the petrodollar.
That is coming apart.
Trump doesn't go into that. He talks about it being one of the main drivers of inflation.
Of course, there are other drivers of inflation as well.
Not just Biden's energy policy, not just the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, but you also have Trump's spending as he was financially incentivizing and rewarding people for doing lockdowns and masks and that type of thing.
But he begins with the Paris Climate Accord.
He says, we're going to fix that.
He starts out, as you heard him say, he canceled the Keystone XL pipeline.
He re-entered the horrendous Paris Climate Accords.
So unfair to the United States, good for other countries, so bad for us.
Anyway, the Keystone pipeline.
He said this from the very beginning.
Look at what this is going to do.
This is his war on energy.
And it's been a war on energy from the very beginning.
And so Trump is right to criticize that.
And he cannot understate that, but he did understate it.
He didn't talk about Biden blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, which, depending on your perspective, is either an act of terrorism or an act of outright war against Russia, attacking their infrastructure.
Infrastructure that was...
A big deal to them.
It was so big.
It was 45% of their gross domestic product right there.
He blew it up. So unfair.
So how do you characterize that?
It is also a war on energy, global energy.
It's a war on the energy supplies of Europe, as well as the entire world has been affected by this, because when you take out that much energy production, everybody suffers in that.
So he doesn't mention the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline, but let's talk about the Paris Climate Accords that are so unfair to the United States, that benefit China, China, right?
The reality is, he criticizes...
Biden for re-entering the Paris Climate Accords.
How was Biden able to re-enter the Paris Climate Accords?
Well, you had at the very beginning of the Trump administration, he put in Rex Tillerson, who as a former Exxon executive, Wanted all of this environmentalism.
You understand that these are not two different sides of the issue.
And when I was criticizing him for putting in Rex Tillerson, who not only pushed a pedophile agenda at the Boy Scouts, but he also pushed this ridiculous climate change agenda.
When I criticized Rex Tillerson, that was the first time that I experienced the MAGA blowback of From the guy I work for, as well as audiences, you're crazy.
You know, he's a, he worked for Exxon.
He's not an environmentalist.
It's like, oh really? It was then six months or more.
That there was a back and forth in the Trump administration.
He did have a good appointment.
Probably the only person that I think that he had that was good in his administration was Scott Pruitt, who had fought the EPA when he was in Oklahoma, and he did a lot of good things.
Of course, they ran him out of town by manufacturing some little petty scandals that amounted to nothing, and he wasn't guilty of anything, but he was just sick of it after a while and gave up.
But he did some good things there.
One of the things that he did, and other people who are working with him, people like Steve Malloy that I talked to many times, they worked very hard.
There was a civil war, essentially, within the Trump administration.
You had Rex Tillerson saying, stay in the Paris Climate Accord.
You had Ivanka Trump saying, stay in the Paris Climate Accord.
You had other people who were saying, well, you don't have to implement any of it.
It doesn't have any effect anyway.
This was never legitimately ratified.
It's just, you know...
You had John Kerry and Barack Obama say they self-ratified it.
Well, that's not a ratification.
That has to be done by the Senate.
And so, then you had the people who said, no, you've got to shut this down.
And you've got to officially exit it.
Eventually, those people won.
However, Trump did say, I'm going to officially exit it.
And I'm going to do it the day after the 2020 election.
What a fraudulent thing to do.
And so he did not exit it until...
And this is the beginning of his administration.
I'm going to wait four years to exit it.
Why would he do that?
He had no commitment to it whatsoever.
And again, Steve Malloy was saying, and I had him on when I was still at the previous place, and we talked about the strategy.
Blame Mitch McConnell.
The Senate has to ratify treaties.
And at any point...
Even going back to the Obama administration, Mitch McConnell could have said, we're going to call a vote on the Paris Climate Accord.
And it would not have gotten the 60% of the votes that it needed.
It would have failed. And that would have ended it right there.
Oh, yeah? You self-ratified it?
No, this is what the Constitution says.
We're going to have a vote on whether or not we're going to be in the Paris Climate Accord.
Mitch McConnell never did that.
Never did that. Not in the Obama administration, not in the Trump administration.
And so, Steve Malloy was going around in that transition period after the election before Biden came in and saying, now is the time.
You know, before you lose the majority in the Senate, before Trump is out, you gotta have this vote.
If you really want to be outside the Paris Climate Accord, well, of course, Trump didn't want to be outside the Paris Climate Accord.
It was all just a head fake like everything else the guy does.
He's telling you what you want to hear, and he's lying to you, and he's working with the opposition.
And the Paris Climate Accord, which is where he begins, is proof that the guy is a phony on energy like he was a phony on the border and everything else that he has done.
Gun control, the rest of this stuff.
And then when something actually happened and you had Roe v.
Wade overturned, what did Trump do?
He got furious with his base because Roe v.
Wade got overturned. It was never supposed to be overturned.
Trump never intended that to happen.
And he never intended for the Paris Climate Accord to be overturned either.
He could have done it.
It was easy to do it.
And he didn't want to do it. He put people in charge who wanted to keep it.
Does it get any phonier?
No. Ah, so.
But he says now, if he gets, I will, if he's elected again, I will deploy a team of warrior lawyers.
Well, really?
He had great appointments, that first administration, didn't he?
To hunt down every unnecessary regulation in the federal registry that hampers domestic production, and we will wipe them off the books.
We will again get out of the Paris.
Get out of Paris, he says.
We're going to get out of Paris.
We're going to get out of Paris.
We'll always have Paris, as Humphrey Bogart said.
Anyway, we will rapidly issue approvals for all worthy energy infrastructure projects with a focus on maximum speed.
And we're going to have a warp speed oil program here.
What a phony guy he is.
He's so phony, he's funny.
But it's not funny when he gets in office because he does horrible things and he leads the lemmings right off of the cliff.
Let's see some of the comments that have been coming in.
It's better to keep things like Roe v.
Wade and the Climate Accord as campaign issues.
Yeah, that's right. They want these permanent campaign issues.
That's what my son says. We've got John Henry.
Okay, I'm going to give Trump another chance.
He only tried to kill me and my family with a vaccine.
Yeah, Jason Barker.
But Trump saved millions of lives.
Yeah, that's right. Millions of people died directly from his vaccine is what we're saying.
Jason says, can I self-ratify my agreement to divorce the federal government and its taxation?
Yeah, let's do that. They'll come after you pretty hard as a sovereign citizen.
Jimenez says on Rumble, still waiting for Trump to lock her up.
Yeah. Jason said, in today's world, there could be a raging inferno.
Nobody would shout fire because it would be politically incorrect.
That's true. Yeah.
The world is on fire, quite right, and people are afraid to say it.
We'll talk about that coming up with the Super Bowl here.
It's kind of interesting things that are happening.
Denver Attaway.
This was an older comment about the police.
He said, I have a suspicion they want police looking very, very bad as a pretext to federalized police.
Oh, that's definitely a part of it.
As a matter of fact, when the training went off the rails, that was federal policy.
And so they've been gradually federalizing the police.
And you want to know what a federal police looks like?
Look at the shoot first type of curriculums of the teaching in the state police academies.
Absolutely. And they want to do away with state separation of powers from law enforcement standpoint.
This is why I say, you know, you got to give kudos to the John Birch Society.
I mean, it became a meme when I was in school, and I really didn't understand it, you know, when I was in high school, you know, support your local sheriff and all the rest of the stuff.
And it's like, what are they talking about?
And they understood back then in the 60s, in the 70s, they understood that the agenda was to federalize the police, and they understood just how dangerous that was going to be.
And how do you federalize the police?
How do you get them to do what you want them to do?
Money. Money. Same way that Trump federalized public health.
Money. Money. You give the money to the governors.
You give the money to the health people.
You do what I say, and there's no end to the amount of money that we can print.
It's fiat. We just make it up.
The magic money tree.
More power, less oversight, just a matter of paperwork.
That's right. And they don't pay any attention to who they hire.
We're going to...
My son said you'd get deplatformed if you mention that the theater is on fire.
Yeah. Well, YouTube is being burned down, that's for sure.
We're going to take a quick break. And then we're going to come back and, as I said, we want to talk about what's going to be happening with some interesting things around the Super Bowl.
We'll be right back. 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 Well,
New York City is so bad that migrants are fleeing to Canada.
They don't like it there, the crime.
And this is in the middle of winter, so they're not fleeing the climate there.
I guess Trump, instead of trying to build a wall, maybe he should have built a bus, right?
Because what we have right now is kind of a game of musical chairs with migrants.
They come to Florida and Texas, and then they bus them or fly them.
To New York or other places like that.
And then they try to send them on to greener pastures.
And so migrants living illegally in New York City, says Zero Hitch, are so fed up with the Big Apple's crime and filth that they're taking officials up on offers to bus them to Canada on the taxpayer's dime.
And in the middle of winter...
Which is kind of interesting because now New York City is following the lead of Texas and Florida.
They were not happy about the fact that Texas and Florida were sending the migrants there.
They said, well, you said you want them.
Well, here they are. And so they don't want them.
And so they said, you can't do that.
You can't just send migrants in.
And it's like, yeah, yeah, we can't.
So now they're going to send them out.
And so the reporter for the New York Post followed them around, said Mayor Eric Adams' administration pays various companies that run programs for migrants that include re-ticketing so they can travel to other cities, a City Hall source says.
You know, this is an interesting idea.
I guess if I wanted a vacation, I would still have to get to Mexico somehow.
But if I could get to Mexico, come across illegally, Then maybe I could get a free vacation.
They'd send me everywhere. I could stay in the best hotels.
No charge. No passports.
No vaccine requirements.
Nothing. I mean, it'd be a great free trip.
It'd be like 100 years ago or something, you know, when you don't have all the identification and control.
You wouldn't even need a gold star on your ID, says my son.
That's right. The Nazi star.
North American house hippo.
The continued irrational logical defending, enabling, justifying, rationalizing of Trump by true believers is no different from sports fans in one city defending a dirty player because, hey, he's one of them.
And as far as the fans are concerned, they're on the team, too.
Yeah, exactly. That's right.
It is this... You've got to have two and only two.
You've got to focus on it.
That's what they do in sports. I mean, you forget about the other teams the other weeks.
Right now, this week, it's us versus them.
But it's always important to have that as part of the Hegelian dialect.
You have a thesis, antithesis, and they use that to control you.
So it's very important that there's only two.
Because then they can put people in there.
You don't like either one of them, but you feel compelled to vote for one of them because the other guy is just so bad.
Various non-profits, including Catholic charities, are also helping migrants to flee New York City.
One 23-year-old, that's their driver's brother, says there's got to be 100 people a day.
I do this all day.
They get dropped off, and I take them the rest of the way.
She said the migrants are charged $40 to $50 each.
See, there is an expense.
I don't know. Ha, ha, ha.
Still, the prices are so low they ought to be illegal.
Anyway, families are charged $90 for border runs.
Taxis are charging $70 each.
It would probably cost you $70 to take a taxi across New York City with the amount of time it should spend in traffic.
Anyway, the post accompanied several groups of migrants who rode in the van that this driver that they interviewed had.
They followed them from the Mountain Mart gas station to a cul-de-sac at the end of Roxham Road, just steps away from the Canadian border.
After trudging north along a snow-covered path and through a break in the concrete barrier, the migrants are stopped by Mounties, stationed in an elaborate complex of metal sheds, said the New York Post.
And then they were arrested.
You have entered into Canada.
You are under arrest, said a Canadian Mountie.
Take everything from your pockets.
Put it into your bags.
Only dinero.
That's Spanish for money.
Only dinero in your pockets.
And so, you know, they're going to give them temporarily rough treatment, and then they will take them to an isotel, I'm sure.
As we look at what is happening with, I mentioned this story just in passing.
It happened over the weekend, and that was a laptop battery fire forced a United plane flight to land, and four people went to the hospital.
And again, it kind of underscores, and I had earlier in the week before I got sick, I had a video showing Underwriters Lab, and there was an article that a reporter interviewed the people at UL. It's a private organization.
That tests the safety of electrical devices.
You don't need to have an FDA. It actually works better.
The underwriter's lab has to actually do their work because if they don't, they're out of business.
But the FDA can do nothing, and what are you going to do about it?
Oh, nothing. So, anyway, Underwriters Lab was testing to show just how dangerous these fires are.
And they had a, I think it was an electric bike.
It was something about the size of one of these e-bikes.
They've caused a great number of fires in New York City.
You know, these kind of, you know, clutter, these bikes that clutter up the sidewalks and cities and everything, they were really bad in Austin when we were there.
Fortunately, you know, that's something I haven't seen here in Tennessee and I haven't missed.
Are any of these e-bikes littering the place?
You know, people will rent all kinds of vehicles to go driving in the mountains, you know.
But it's done by private companies and, you know, they've got a storefront there and they've got their vehicles there and you can go rent them.
But, you know, none of this stuff, like you'd see in Austin where they have like these little electric scooters and things.
And so in New York, people are getting these things and leaving them in the building, and the batteries are catching fire and burning buildings down.
And I forget where the numbers are.
I reported this in the past. I didn't have time to go back and find that article.
But there was an article about how many fires they had in New York City based on these electric scooters.
And it was astounding. And so Underwriters Lab set this thing up, and they purpose-built...
Kind of a mobile home type of thing to show how rapidly they put cameras all over the place and smoke detectors and they looked at all the gases that were released from this, the toxic gases, but they had photography about how rapidly this fire progressed.
And it truly was amazing.
How complete it was, and it was just a small device, like an electric bike.
And so you go from your phones, and we've had situations, remember a few years ago you had Samsung phones, had a rash of battery fires that injured people, caused other fires.
So you go from the cell phone to the laptop.
And the laptop took down the plane and put four people in the hospital.
You go from the laptops to the e-bikes that are burning down a lot of buildings in New York City with so many fires.
You go from that to the cars, from the bigger battery.
You go from the cars to the buses.
And you're going to now go from the buses to the big semi-trailers.
Big long haul.
And what happens? Every time you get a bigger battery, one of the ways that Underwriters Lab arranged for this thing, they knew it was going to fail because what they did was they turned off the protection that would keep it from overcharging.
And, you know, that would be a point of failure.
But they made sure that that was the failure because they wanted to see what happened with the battery.
But that is what's happening with some of these.
There's battery faults or whatever, but when you have one point of failure with these lithium batteries, then it spreads like wildfire, literally, to all the other batteries.
That's why when you go from a phone to a laptop to a bike to a car to a bus to a truck, the problem becomes It's infinitely bigger and more likely because you've got more batteries.
Just one point of failure in this massive battery system and the whole thing goes up and then it starts taking everything else down.
That's why they've stopped these electric buses in so many cities because they've had fires that have burned down entire bus stations.
They've taken out the electric batteries and gone back to diesel in many cases because of that.
And we haven't seen yet what's going to happen with these big semi-trucks that are electric.
We've seen what happens with the buses.
So again, that is the real issue.
But there's another issue with EVs, and that is the mineral shortage.
Zero Hedge had an article visualizing the EV mineral shortage.
Did you know that EVs need up to six times more minerals than conventional cars?
Everybody talks about, well, you know, we've got all these wars for oil and no more blood for oil and all the rest of this stuff.
And that has been at the center of this.
You look at the Syrian conflict, as I said, there was a pipeline that was coming across.
The Russians and Syrians had it, but the U.S. and some other Arab countries wanted a different pipeline.
That was one of the key things happening there.
You look at what's going on with Ukraine, a key part of that.
Is the government, our government, the U.S. government, wanting to make sure that Germany and Europe does not become dependent on Russia for energy.
They've got to stop that pipeline.
Got to stop Russia.
So, yeah, it is about that, but it's not about natural gas or oil per se.
It's about energy.
And when you look at what's going to happen, what we're doing is we're giving, with this mineral issue, we're giving...
Places like China and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is neither democratic nor republic, we are giving them control of energy.
Because if we're only going to do battery EVs, then we are creating a cartel.
A cartel that is run by some of the worst regimes on earth and people who are, in the case of the Chinese, determined to take us down.
So when you look at this, they have a visualized chart that says, what are EVs made of?
Well, of course, we all know because the press has told us they're made of sugar spice and everything nice.
But in reality, you've got to get all the ingredients from really nasty people, evil people.
China is number one on the list, and cobalt, 70% of the world's supply of cobalt.
Welcome to my show!
And so you're putting Russia, China, the Congo in charge of these things, and there's not much of it there.
And this is not a mistake.
This is all deliberate, frankly.
They do not want to have a broader fuel-energy mix.
They want one solution, because that solution is going to give them control, just like the vaccine gave them control.
And that's what this is truly about.
Now, when we look at Tesla, there's a lot of press about Tesla, and I didn't get into the details of it, the fact that they were doing massive discounts.
You had people in China doing protests because, wait, I just bought a Tesla, and you cut the price by 20%, blah, blah, blah.
You know, very angry about it.
Wall Street was not happy about it.
They said, what is happening?
Well, Tesla has an unbelievable profit margin.
They can afford to do this.
And they're doing this now in response to other automobile manufacturers coming into the market.
And they've got more than enough margin to throw away.
What is truly astounding is to look at how much money they make off of a car.
Tesla makes $9,574 profit off of a car.
The number two is GM. $2,150 on average.
Less than a third.
And quite a bit less than a third.
Then you go down to Toyota, $1,197.
Volkswagen, only $973 profit per car.
Hyundai, $927 profit.
Then you go negative.
Ford loses $762.
On their net profit per vehicle.
And this is in the EV market.
This is in the EV market. Ford's not going out of business.
They got a very profitable truck line, but they want to kill it.
So this is all EVs.
So Tesla's making $9,500.
GM's only making $2,000.
Toyota's making $1,200.
Volkswagen 973, Ford losing $762.
Then you've got a couple of new Chinese manufacturers.
You've got Xping, which is losing $11,700 per car they sell.
But of course they can afford to because it's the Chinese government.
And another one, NIO, they lose nearly $20,000 for electric vehicle that they sell.
And so Tesla is sitting in a very good position, and they can afford to cut their prices significantly.
But, you know, I think it's interesting because when I look at this, the attack, this is part of the great reset for definitely.
And that is to come after suburban homes.
They don't like the suburbs.
They've always hated the suburbs.
You've got to be in the city.
Don't want you in the suburbs.
And if they can't get us out of the suburbs, they're going to turn the suburbs into cities.
And that's exactly what the Democrats want to do.
Andrew Yang, who was running for president in the last cycle in 2020, he began by talking about universal basic income.
And he had agreed to come on my show and talk to me about it.
But I guess at the last minute they canceled, I guess they realized that I knew what universal basic income was.
I wasn't taking any of it.
It was going to be a contentious interview, which I don't usually do because usually...
Like Andrew Yang, they find out where I am.
They don't want to come on.
They just want to go on with friendly press.
I mean, you see that everywhere. CNN gets all the Democrats.
Fox gets all the Republicans. They don't like to do, you know, contentious interviews.
So usually I can only get people who will agree with me.
It's not just because I'm some great guy or something.
It's just nobody wants to debate anything.
So Andrew Yang canceled.
But he was all about universal basic income.
But he was also...
About getting rid of all zoning laws and doing that from the federal government.
Biden wants to do that now.
But before we get into what this is, you have Elon Musk was one of the biggest promoters of Andrew Yang.
And Andrew Yang, everything the guy was pushing is Marxist, globalist, UN, Davos types of policies.
I'm telling you, Musk is not your friend.
He is not your friend. He is not going to stand up against the censorship of the EU. He is another one of these people that has been put out there like Trump to lead those who want a savior and have no discernment.
But getting back to what Biden is doing now, he announced on January the 19th Biden announced that his administration will require all towns across the U.S. to submit, quote, equity plans.
And it'll show how they will make it possible for low-income people to live in the suburbs by providing affordable housing, transportation, and other resources.
How will you create a welfare state so that the poor, crime-ridden inner cities can move to the suburbs is basically it.
This is what we're talking about.
And this is a big deal because a home is, in most cases, the biggest asset that anybody's got, or maybe the only asset that you may have.
And if they destroy the value of homes...
If they make the suburbs as unlivable as the cities with all the crime that is there, we all lose big time.
So how are they going to do it?
Where does the Biden administration get its authority to demand that every town in the United States submit to them a plan about equity housing?
Well, they don't have any authority.
They've got money. They've got unlimited amounts of money.
This is bribery blackmail model.
It's always the model.
What Trump did with the COVID-9-11 lockdowns, he put out bribery.
When Biden came on, he was about blackmail.
And it's always that.
Here's the money, here's the strings attached, I want you to do this.
You don't do it, I'm pulling it back.
Usually they'll throw the money out there and let people get used to it for a while, and then come in with the regulations and pull them back.
But, and that's what's happening now.
Because all these locations, all these local towns, everybody is on the federal teat.
And has been getting this money for quite some time.
So if you don't file this report with Biden, guess what?
You're going to lose federal funding.
For whatever. Right?
And it's always the money.
It's how you control people, the money.
Everybody say, it's not Trump.
It's those Democrat governors.
No, it's the money.
The money is how you control this stuff.
Say goodbye to quaint downtowns lined with two-story buildings and older houses, writes WND.com.
If a town fails to meet a state target, the compact will allow developers to build big in defiance of local zoning boards in almost all cases.
This is what is being proposed in New York specifically.
So just as we see with the...
The ban on gas ranges, for example.
Hochul goes in and we've got a specific program.
This is how we're going to do it. We're going to punish you.
We're going to fine you. We're going to do this and that.
Biden comes in and he tries to do the same thing in slightly different ways.
Not as direct, not as confrontational, but essentially doing the same thing at the federal level.
They're on the same page with this.
So this is how it looks in New York.
The state will overrule any town that doesn't meet their targets of this.
Hochul is seeking legislative approval for her plan by April.
Local control will be obliterated in New York State.
Albany will call the shots on what your town looks like, how much traffic there is, and ultimately what your home is worth.
Slate Magazine bashed anybody who criticized this plan of Hochul.
You know, people like me are a band of recalcitrant, remorseless ne'er-do-wells.
Oh, I'm so offended and hurt.
I don't know if I can go on.
Their concerns are legitimate.
Because for most people, their home is their biggest asset.
Opponents of single-family zoning are also playing the race card.
Of course, right?
If you don't do this, you're racist.
So here's how this looks...
As it's being applied right now in Connecticut.
In 2017, a developer purchased a colonial house on a tree-lined weed street in a small ultra-wealthy New Canaan in Connecticut.
There are no commercial or multifamily buildings on the street.
He now wants to build a five-story, 102-unit apartment complex with a 30% set-aside for affordable housing.
This means people who are on welfare.
Weed Street neighbor Chris DeMuth says that this plan is to cram over 300 people into a lot that is currently occupied by a single-family home.
What's that going to do to traffic?
What's that going to do to congestion?
These people are not going to be doing any maintenance to anything.
As a matter of fact, they'll probably be destroying it, which is what you see in free public housing.
If it's free, it doesn't belong to anybody.
The tragedy of the commons is that nobody takes care of it, and that's especially true of these common homes that are provided for free.
So it's going to be run down, broken.
The people are angry about their state in life.
There's going to be a massive amount of crime, a lot of traffic.
If they destroy Weed Street, they could come for your neighborhood next, says a flyer that they're circulating to the neighbor's.
But Connecticut's Senate Democrats have announced that they are making housing equity in every community in the state a top priority.
That is their purpose.
To do exactly that.
Well, as we talk about what is happening with central banks and their designs, we talk about the fraud that happens in the London metal exchanges and things.
This is one example of it.
Guaido in Venezuela is gone.
Remember, this is the guy that the U.K. government, the U.S. government, wanted to promote in opposition to Maduro in Venezuela.
They want to say the elections are not valid.
Does that sound familiar? The elections are not valid, and this is the guy who won.
And that did not happen.
But as he was pushing against that, and the UK was trying to help him, along with the US government, four years ago, the UK government recognized him as Venezuela's president, but he's now gone.
However, the Bank of England is still holding some of the country's key assets, like gold.
And late December... Venezuela's leading opposition parties voted to oust Juan Guaido as interim president and to dissolve his parallel government.
This is clearly not the ending that the UK government had in mind.
Four years ago, they made a bold decision to recognize him as Venezuela's president, proceeded to facilitate his legal battle to seize roughly $2 billion worth of gold that was in the Bank of England.
So the nation of Venezuela's got $2 billion of gold in the Bank of England.
And they said, well, we want this guy to be president, and if you don't make him president, we're going to seize your gold, which they did.
The UK government insisted at every turn that it recognized Guaido and not Maduro.
I hope I'm pronouncing his name correctly.
I don't know.
Frankly, I don't care. Anyway, this British surrogate.
Now that the British surrogate has been ousted, the legal argument for transferring the gold to the Venezuelan opposition has effectively disintegrated.
Despite this The gold remains frozen in the Bank of England with no clear resolution in sight.
So what does this have to do with us?
This is yet another political seizure.
Just like Trudeau did to the Freedom Convoy donors and supporters.
We don't like your politics.
We keep your money. They do it on an individual basis.
They've been doing it on a national basis for a long time.
Trudeau made it on an individual basis.
And it's going to happen. It's going to happen.
It's going to be...
This is what is wrong with the central banks.
This is what is wrong with this monopolistic control of the money that is being done by these central powers.
And as Zero Hedge says, this will surely serve as a warning to any state that plans to store its gold in the Bank of England.
Yes. Just as it should be a warning to anybody who plans to use the SWIFT system to transfer money around because it's liable to sanctions and blackmail and extortion and other things like that by the U.S. government and by NATO and others.
They have taken the blinders off and shown everybody what nakedly corrupt tyrants and thieves they are.
And how all of this is controlled, again, by money.
Just like Biden is going to destroy the suburbs because they want everybody in a city.
They want to make city conditions everywhere.
So they will do what they can to destroy us and they will do it By printing up phony money and putting it out there and then pulling it back or, you know, by stealing what you have in the bank.
Again, money is what you...
Money is gold and silver and things like that that are not a debt to somebody else.
It's not a note. You know, your paper money is a promissory note essentially by the federal government to the private Federal Reserve Bank.
So money is something that is not...
A liability like that, and it is also something that you hold.
I'll just remind you again, davidknightshow.gold is a website that's set up by Tony Arderman.
Wisewolf.gold, great place if you want to get gold and silver, a great place to get it.
And he's even set up a program called The Wolf Pack that lets you accumulate it on a regular basis, on a monthly basis.
You can get in for as little as $50 a month.
It's kind of a buying club.
He gets a better price on the gold and silver with that, and he's setting up a community with that.
So we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, I have a couple of comments when I was talking about shipping the migrants to Canada.
Is that $70 to go from New York City to Canada?
That's kind of crazy.
And a listener on Rumble, I guess you pronounce it, Jim Z7, says it costs $80 from JFK to Times Square.
Exactly. I don't know.
Somebody's heavily subsidizing these.
I think it's the city of New York is heavily subsidizing it.
Angus Mustang, don't forget they want to build the electric airplane, too.
Oh, yeah, yeah. That'll be a big fire, won't it?
It'd be spectacular seeing these things streaking down in the...
My days of flying are over because of the real ID stuff and the underwear bomber and the shoe bomber and all the rest of these things.
I'm done with all of the 9-11 police surveillance state stuff in the TSA. So they did me a favor, actually, by ramping it up.
I was already at the point where I did do pretty much anything to not fly.
And then when they came in with COVID-9-11, it was like, okay, we're absolutely done now.
I want to talk, we were talking about gold.
Let's talk about something that's pure gold here.
And that's the music of Burt Bacharach.
Sad to see that he died at 94, but he hasn't been doing anything for some time, as elderly as he is.
And he, you know, as I look at him, it reminds me of, I think it was John Williams when he turned, I think he's 90 now, but he was somewhere in his 90s.
It might have been on his 90th birthday.
He said, well, I'm going to retire. But then he came out of retirement after just a couple of months.
He said, I'm not going to write film scores anymore.
They're very exacting.
You've got to get everything timed exactly right.
And he just wanted to do classical music and things like that.
He'd been a conductor for Boston Pops and things like that for a while.
So he wanted to do some stuff that did not have the requirements of it.
But that retirement only lasted a couple of months.
He says, yeah, I'm back. So he's got another movie he wants to do.
So I'm glad that John Williams is still out there.
But when I look at Burt Bacharach, when you go back and look at the history of the music in the 20th century, I think the two big composers that are going to stand out are going to be John Williams.
And I think when you talk about popular music, Burt Bacharach.
It's amazing the quantity of stuff, of hits that he had.
And I also say the quality of music that the guy put out.
He had a jazz background, and it really showed up in his music.
So, you know, songs like The Look of Love, Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head, not necessarily one of my favorites.
Close to You, you know, Walk On By.
When I think of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, I really think of Dionne Warwick.
I don't really think of it so much as a partnership.
You know, one guy writing the music, the other guy writing the lyrics.
As much as I think of it as a trio.
I mean, she was the perfect fit for his music.
And she's still alive.
She's in her 80s now.
But he had all kinds of songs.
You know, you think of his songs as typically being some of these songs that were in the movies in the 1970s.
You know, the Carpenters sang some of his songs.
A lot of people sang. He even did things, though, like the man who shot Liberty Valance.
Which, interestingly enough, Gene Tierney, that never was in the movie.
Yeah. I always thought that was strange until I started seeing interviews that people tried to have with John Ford.
There's an excellent video of Peter Bogdanovich, who was a film critic.
He directed a couple of films, but he was a film critic, and he tried to do an interview with John Ford.
You can see that on YouTube, and it's really funny.
John Ford does not want to be interviewed.
There's another one where the BBC is trying to interview John Ford.
And he seems to be kind of camera shy.
You know, he's got a cap on, he's got a cigar in his hand, he's always smoking or lighting a cigar, and he's kind of holding his hand, you know, so the camera can't see him.
He almost looks like Martin Short when he was doing the The guy who had a scam going, and it's funny you would say that, you know, and he'd be kind of trying to hide from the camera.
But he seemed kind of shy in terms of talking, but he was a real contrarian curmudgeon.
He would take exception to anything they would say, and they were always trying to dig in and get him to say something memorable about his philosophy of film or something like that, and he refused to go there.
Why do you say that? That's not true at all.
You know, this is just so contradictory to everything they had to say.
And Peter Bogdanovich had a, I haven't seen this one yet, but it was Hillsdale College before Peter Bogdanovich recently died.
Before he died, they had him come on and talk about his experience with John Ford and other things.
I saw it just at the beginning of it.
I was like, oh, when I've got time, I want to go back and see that.
So I'd recommend that to you as well.
In the recent film that Spielberg did, The Fablemans, where he's kind of autobiographical, there was a clip in there where he went to John Ford as a teenager and asked him for advice about doing films.
That's a good clip. That made me want to see the movie, which I had no interest in seeing whatsoever until I saw that.
That was really funny, the John Ford character, who was played by another director, David Lynch, interestingly enough.
Anyway, I'm getting into the detail of the weeds here, but Burt Bacharach...
And the music that he did, like I said, I think John Williams is going to be remembered, no doubt about it.
No doubt about it. But Burt Bacharach, because the variety, the longevity, the quantity of things that he did, I think he'll be remembered for quite some time.
Eight-time Grammy winner, three-time Oscar recipient.
He was very successful, and as Paul McCartney said, his songs were a lot more musical than the stuff we write, and a lot more technical.
As a matter of fact, I had done a screenshot.
I forgot to give it to you to put in the deck here.
Pulled up a song, Promises, Promises, and I looked at the music on it, because it just constantly changes keys.
And so it starts out, you got about, you know, four or five measures of 5-4, then it goes to three or four measures of 3-4, then it goes to two measures of 4-4, then it's back to 5-4, that type of thing.
And nobody does anything that technical anymore.
I mean, they don't even bother to sing or play instruments anymore.
Or write lyrics.
You know, they typically grab samples of something somebody else did 50 years ago and call that their new song.
But just to give you an idea of what it says, listen to this with all these different timing changes, how it constantly moves it along.
Music Well,
again, you get the idea. It is very interesting what he does, and it creates...
It's not the sort of thing...
I remember American Bandstand, you know, did you like that song?
Yeah, I had a good beat and it was easy to dance to.
Well, I'd like to see somebody dance to that.
But it was for listening.
That was part of a Broadway play, actually.
They did a play of The Apartment and turned it into a musical.
And that was what that was part of.
Anyway, sad to see things like that end.
Our music has become incredibly dumbed down as a result.
Hal and...
Or rather, he and Hal David were dubbed the Rogers and Hart of the 1960s.
And things especially took off when he got Dionne Warrick in.
But again, he'd had hits with Perry Como, Dusty Springfield, Gene Pitney, Tom Jones, others.
Everybody was recording his stuff.
We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the Super Bowl.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
She says, a creepy incident I just experienced.
Tried to email a friend from Outlook, an anti-pharma interview URL, and Outlook, which is made by Microsoft, would not let me paste the URL into the email.
I needed to do it from Gmail.
I emailed another friend with a restaurant URL right after that from Outlook with no problem.
What do you think? Well, I think that Microsoft is very much into big pharmaceutical companies, and I think you'll probably find the same thing pretty soon from Gmail as well.
This is where they're shutting everything down.
Harps, thank you very much for the tip on Rumble.
Appreciate that. Great to see you back perked up and on fire, David.
Love to my after midnight family.
Stay free, use all.
Thank you so much, Harps.
And of course, he is in Australia.
Thank you. Thank you.
So let's talk a little bit about the Super Bowl that's coming up.
It's a big deal in terms of money.
There's going to be something on the Drudge Report about a billion dollars or multiple billions of dollars in bets that are going to be placed on the Super Bowl.
And we had in Tennessee, some Democrats said, let's get rid of Columbus Day and make a Super Bowl holiday.
Anyway, they just want to get rid of Columbus Day.
But I've seen a lot of publications of people saying, look, you know, both of the quarterbacks are Christians.
And these other players are Christians and so forth.
So, you know, let's hold this out because, oh, look, we got Christians.
And that, I guess, makes Christianity cool.
You know, if you got quarterbacks who are Christians.
It's like, well, I'm glad they're Christians.
I'm glad for their sake.
But we make idols out of these people, don't we?
Even to the extent that you look at Tom Brady, you've now got an eBay auction of the sand where he was standing when he made his second retirement announcement recently.
And there's an eBay auction on this.
It is currently at $99,000.
Somebody is willing to pay $99,000 for the ground he walked on.
They're literally worshipping the ground he walked on.
$99,900.
Yeah, holy ground. There you go.
Tom, and this is the way they described it.
Tom Brady's exact retirement spot, bottled sand.
The bid for one of two samples taken from...
Now, this article is actually five days old, I think.
So we are only one day from completion.
It may be more than $99,900.
I didn't check that this morning. Anyway, what you're bidding on is one of two samples.
This is not even the only sand that he was standing on.
There's other sand available.
What's that? What? Yeah, one for each foot.
Taken from Tom Brady's exact retirement spot.
Only two samples taken that day of retirement, just hours from his video being posted online.
Proof is in the photos.
You will be receiving an 8-ounce mason jar bottled with the exact sand the goat Tom Brady made his retirement video on.
And one person responded and said, I have a jar full of wind from that day that I will start at $1 million.
This is kind of crazy.
But if you take a look at the prices of the Super Bowl tickets, they are down.
Last-minute tickets are being snapped up for an average of only $6,513.
A decline of about a third compared to the average ticket price on January the 19th.
This is on a site called SeatGeek.
So the cheapest seat sold was $4,362.
The most expensive was $30,469.
So somewhere between $4,300 and $30,000, you can get a ticket to the Super Bowl.
Wow. Pretty amazing.
We don't get any discounts for paying for their stadiums, evidently.
A separate mobile ticket platform called GameTime shows tickets are going a little bit lower there.
They go as low as $3,100.
GameTime said this is the first time, however, the lowest-priced seats have dropped below $5,000 each.
Well, the seats may be going down a little bit, but guess what?
The ads are still astronomical in price.
And there's an organization that is running an ad.
They call it He Gets Us.
And there was a couple of people have talked about this.
CNN says this is a right-wing Christian plot.
Other people are saying, what is the matter with the church?
Fortune magazine says, does Jesus need an ad campaign?
Well, you know, I guess God doesn't know how to reach us anymore.
We've become so different and so sophisticated.
That we really want to have all this stuff packaged for us in just the right way.
And as I said briefly yesterday when you talked about the Church of England trying to regender God, I quoted Mark Twain who said, God created man in his image and man returned the favor.
That's what is going on right now.
But here's what they don't get.
The problem is that ads are propaganda.
Often lies. The father of Madison Avenue, as I mentioned earlier in the program, Edward Bernays, the guy who lied us into World War I. So ads are fundamentally propaganda, psyop, often lies.
What we're selling people as Christians is the truth.
We don't need to resort to these satanic tactics.
We don't need to use Satan's tools.
That's what ads are. Our weapons are mighty.
And we need to not shy away from that.
You want to know why society is going to hell in a handbasket?
Why everything is unraveling morally and otherwise?
It's because all these leaders of the so-called establishment churches No longer care about what God says.
They've got a better way to do this.
You know, whether you're talking about The Chosen or whether you're talking about the Super Bowl, hey, you know, this is the way that it should have been done, okay?
As Dallas Jenkins said, 95% of the stuff in The Chosen, we just made it up, right?
We made it up so we could reach out to people.
We made it up so we could make it more interesting.
We made it up so we could get an audience.
You know, you've got Jesus rehearsing his Sermon on the Mount.
That's like one of the craziest things I've ever heard of.
There is no sense that we're talking about God here, right?
It's just a historical figure that we can play around with.
So, since the world's become anti-God, we've got lovers of self who say, well, we've got to have an ad campaign.
Jesus doesn't know how to do it.
He did it all wrong. You know, he shouldn't have come at that particular time.
He should have waited until we had films, and then people could have gotten him.
But he gets us.
You notice where the orientation is.
He gets us. We're the ones who are important.
You are the one who is important, not God.
So this man-centered little God cannot change your life.
He can't help you. He can't save you.
He's not going to do anything to make our society better.
So they're paying millions of dollars for a Super Bowl ad, and they said over three years, the people who are behind this said they're going to spend a billion dollars.
Because, you know, they're going to fix what Jesus didn't know how to do.
As the cost in the profile of these ads increases, more questions are coming up as to who is paying for them.
It is being backed by a Missouri non-profit called the Servant Foundation.
Most of the donors have remained anonymous, but...
In November, Hobby Lobby founder David Green told a talk show host, Glenn Beck, that his family was helping to fund the ads.
That's raised concerns that the far right could be using the ads as a recruitment campaign.
You know, I think rather than trying to do some kind of a glossy thing, and of course we'll talk about what the ads are.
The ads are, you know, imagining that Jesus gets us because Jesus was a refugee immigrant and that type of thing.
LGBT, CRT type of approach.
That's their Jesus that they're putting out there.
Because these people see themselves as social reformers.
They're going to fix it.
They're going to make the world Christian by spending a billion dollars and all the rest of this stuff.
They have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
God is in charge of that.
God has given us his word, and these people decide they're going to, again, reinvent it.
The He Gets Us campaign rejects theories that the far right is using this as an ad recruitment campaign.
We are not left or right or a political organization of any kind.
We're also not affiliated with any particular church or denomination.
We simply want everyone to understand the authentic Jesus as he's depicted in the Bible.
The Jesus of radical forgiveness, compassion, and love.
Well, if you want people to understand the authentic Jesus as he's depicted in the Bible, give them the Bible!
Not your ad, your impression of it.
It's not sufficient for you, is it?
So, organizers, again, are going to spend over a billion dollars in the next three years.
A commercial with strong religious themes is unusual in the Super Bowl.
A decade ago, the Church of Scientology ran an ad encouraging people who were curious about that religion to dare to think for yourself and to make up your mind.
So, you see, we should do it like the Scientologists.
We should do it like Edward Bernays.
Well, instead, you know, they don't believe that there's some living word that penetrates into your heart.
They don't believe that God is at work in this.
No, no, we're going to do it our way.
I've got a billion dollars here.
I know how things work.
I can use facial expressions.
I can play on your emotions.
And I can get you to make an emotional commitment to it.
And when you buy into it that way, it has no more effect in your life than if you bought some hand cream because it was advertised to you on the Super Bowl.
So CNN jumps in.
They're slamming this because, you know, for them everything is about politics.
And if it's even...
As a whiff of Christianity, they're again it.
So they say this is a right-wing conspiracy.
Jake Tapper, you had a fill-in host, Pamela Brown, said, If you're planning to watch the upcoming Super Bowl, you'll likely see a few ads about Jesus.
CNN's Tom Foreman looks into the He Gets Us campaign and why some are calling this a PR stunt for right-wing politics.
He comes on and he says, the message is stark, arresting and backed by $100 million.
That's how much organizers say is behind this campaign to market Jesus as a patient, loving, inclusive cure for our divisive times.
With the tagline, he gets us.
Look, I've said over and over again, the proper way to respond is This type of weaponized race war that is being pushed to our kids, whether it's in school or whether it's on Disney Plus with cartoons of angry, radical, racist kids demanding reparations, you know, for 200 years ago.
The same company that shuts down any mention of current slavery happening in China.
You know who controls and who owns Disney, don't you?
The people they're not allowed to criticize.
Well, I've said the appropriate response to that is not to get out there and say, well, just kill all of them, as many of them as you need to.
Somebody said that this last week.
That is not the right way to approach this.
The right way to approach this is to understand our common humanity, that we are all of one blood, That God created Adam and that we, you know, destroyed the earth.
We're all descended from Noah.
And even though we have differences, very significant differences of nations, tongues, and tribes, or as...
Michael Savage puts it.
He came up, I don't know if he referenced the Bible, but it is true.
He calls it borders, languages, and culture.
But the Bible says nations, tongues, and tribes.
That's how it's typically translated.
And those are the things that do divide us.
But that understanding that we're all common humanity and that there is no division that cannot be taken away in Christ, whether you're talking about male or female or slave or free or this skin color or that skin color, All of that goes away when we stand before God, and especially when we stand before God in Christ.
And so that is the answer.
The answer is not to take the bait.
The answer is not to shout back and threaten, oh yeah, you try that, I'm going to blow you up, I'm going to kill everybody, you know, that type of thing.
That is not the answer.
That's taking the bait. That is pushing people into another January the 6th type of thing, frankly.
But the answer is in Christ, but not in this way.
The answer is the authentic thing, not your reimagined version.
But the people behind this that they quote in this CNN article, they go to a guy who is now identifying as a woman, very angry at Christians, got a chip on his shoulder because of, you know, his LGBT stuff, and has organized campaigns like hashtag empty the pews.
And so they go to Chrissy Stroop is what this guy calls himself right now.
Before I get to that, they quoted the person who's president of Haven saying, We're trying to unify the Americans around the confounding love and forgiveness of Jesus.
The campaign website is filled with phrases saying, Jesus called out the toxic religious and political systems.
He led the protests against the walls that divide us.
He broke the chains that held women in bondage.
Merchandise! Declares Jesus was a refugee and an immigrant.
There you go. Get the t-shirt.
Why didn't Jesus think of selling t-shirts?
You know, he could have gotten a bigger following.
If he'd only had slogans and a t-shirt and social media and film, it would have worked, right?
Where do I get my Jesus as a Tran t-shirt?
You know, I've had people showing up to these events.
But look, you can never appease the people who have set it as their mission to destroy what you're doing, to destroy our culture, to destroy our churches, and to destroy God.
Redefine him. Redefine the family.
Redefine gender and sexuality.
Redefine morality. They want to redefine and destroy everything.
You cannot appease these people.
Don't be afraid of them.
CNN senior correspondent and trans, Chrissy Stroop, Well, I believe the He Gets Us campaign is a PR effort and a website strategically developed by right-wing evangelicals to rope people in to inclusive-sounding messaging and get them plugged into local churches.
That will eventually teach them to be a Christian means to support right-wing politics.
So, again, the expert is, this Chrissy Stroop is a guy who speaks at atheist conventions, who has the hashtag empty the pews and also expose Christian schools.
Stroop is now an outspoken ex-evangelical, fiercely critical of conservative evangelical subculture and He, they say she, he currently resides in Portland, Oregon, where he fits in, where he moved in the summer of 2019 after coming out as a woman.
This is CNN's religion reporter, by the way.
It's just, it's comical.
And if you look at his background, help with Chrissy's gender transition costs.
This is a GoFundMe. And GoFundMe is, you know, they'll shut you down if you've got a conservative cause.
But he wanted $5,555, or rather $5,000 goal.
He got $5,555.
So he got over the goal to help him to transition.
I'm a trans woman who was raised as a boy, indoctrinated in the Christian right, including at anti-LGBT Christian schools.
a victim, in other words.
The resulting religious trauma and delayed recognition of repressed queerness has taken a huge toll on me.
But here I am at last, in my late 30s, in Portland, Oregon.
I can get started.
Whatever I think of Portland, Oregon...
Think of the guy riding the unicycle with the bagpipes and fire coming out of it.
I mean, it is one crazy place.
And Austin wanted to be just like it.
You know, both of them. Keep Portland weird.
Keep Austin weird. My slogan was, keep them away from me.
Of course, these are things that are not covered by insurance.
He said, knowing that he was going to be doing this, he made sure that he had a really good health insurance program.
He was going to pay for a lot of stuff. But he said there's some things that are not paid for by this.
Laser removal surgery.
Laser hair removal.
That's $3,590.
Therapy. I don't know how much I'm going to spend on therapy, he said.
They're going to keep you there, victimizing you for a long time.
A new wardrobe. Clothes and shoes are not cheap, and I've got to buy all women's clothes now.
Administrative fees for a name change.
And then, of course, opportunity costs, because I'm going to be out of work for a while while I go through all this.
By the way, this guy, another thing that really makes him a good fit for CNN is he's got a Ph.D. in Russian history.
Now, you might say that CNN doesn't like Russia, but they do, really, when you look at the way that they embrace Marxism.
They like the old Russia that was openly Marxist.
So, how do we get to this point?
Again, can we appease these people?
Well, if you look at the Church of England...
The people that are now doing the redefinition of God and His gender, God got it all wrong, and so we've got to change that and got to transition God, the Father, to something else, Mother Earth or something.
The Church of England is going to allow blessings for same-sex marriages but prohibit gay marriage inside churches.
So, again, they're going to try to straddle the fence, which could wind up transitioning them to something they didn't understand.
But they cannot serve two masters.
They're trying to serve their current diminishing numbers.
These people have an institution.
Think of it as a business.
They're always looking for body count, right?
And it's just disappearing because there's nothing there.
People understand there's nothing in the Church of England.
And so they've got to find a way to reinvent themselves and get a new audience.
That's what this is about.
But they're still trying to not offend the people who are still coming.
Because they may not be able to win over the LGBT, all told, right?
You just cannot appease those who seek to destroy you.
So, same-sex marriage has been legal in England and Wales since 2013, but they have not been doing any marriages.
So they're saying, we will do blessing ceremonies, but not the actual wedding ceremony inside the church buildings.
What is that about?
The bottom line is this.
Marriage, you look at the legal aspect of it, marriage is religious.
It's one of the reasons why they don't understand the male pronouns and things like that, because they don't understand how God was Using and describing in these institutions his relationship to us.
When you look at marriage, when you look at the family, when you look at adoption, when you look at the title of father, what God was doing was describing his relationship to us.
They don't like these things in real life.
They want to get rid of them. But it was, and is, a religious institution.
Marriage is a picture of one of the ways that God describes his relationships with us.
And eventually, they kind of fell into this in a de facto way.
You know, marriage was always about the churches.
And gradually, because of people getting married in the churches and they're recording in churches, it gradually became part of the civil recording of this.
But you can have people in days when you did not have computer networks and connecting all the information everywhere.
You could have somebody, and they did have many cases, where people get married to one woman in one small town because there's no common...
...and they can't be married to one woman in one small town, and they're not married to one woman in one small town, and they're not married to one woman in one small town. and they're not married to one woman in one small
"The End"
"The End" "The End" "The End" "The End"
www.degenerative.com.au Analyzing the globalist's next move www.degenerative.com.au And now, The David Knight Show.
All right, we had a piece of equipment.
I apologize about that, but we're now back.
I lost the audio and the background, that type of thing.
Anyway, this response, they said, I was talking about marriage and how it gradually moved into marriage.
You know, from a religious ceremony into something that became taken over by the government.
The government said, well, we don't want to have situations where people have a marriage in this town and a marriage in that town.
What do we do to resolve this?
Well, we're going to take this over, and the government took it over.
But for the church, they still ought to understand the religious significance of it, regardless of what the civil authorities do.
It has that religious point of view.
And they say as the Archbishop of Canterbury is going to change this, he says this response that we've taken now reflects the diversity of views in the Church of England on questions of sexuality, relationships, and marriage.
It doesn't reflect on God's singular view about this.
There's not diversity of views in the Bible.
That's only in the Church of England, in the culture.
So they decided to follow the culture, not Christ.
He said, I hope we can offer a way for the Church of England, publicly and unequivocally, to say to all Christians, and especially LGBT people, that you are welcome and valued as a precious part of the body of Christ.
Well, that's true. God does welcome everybody wherever you are, right?
People come from all types of backgrounds.
But you leave that background, And God gives you the power to leave that background.
You turn from that.
That's what's called repentance.
And you turn from that.
We call it conversion because you turn from that life that you were leading into a life that is with Christ.
You turn with.
Convert is what that means.
And yet that's not what they're doing.
Instead, they're going to issue a formal apology from the church To the LGBT for rejection, exclusion, and hostility that they felt from inside the church.
So now you have the church apologizing to sinners.
You have the church repenting from telling people how they can have a relationship with God, because there is no relationship with God if you don't follow him.
You say, Lord, Lord, but if you don't do what he has to say, there is no relationship there.
It would issue pastoral guidance to its ministers and congregations, urge them to welcome same-sex couples unreservedly and joyfully.
Yes, we are deeply sorry and ashamed, and we want to take this opportunity to begin again in the spirit of repentance, which our faith teaches us.
So they want to repent from following Jesus.
And they want to worship this new religion of our culture.
He says, this is not the end of the journey, but we have reached a milestone.
That's right. It is always going to be incremental.
Until I guess they're going to be openly worshiping Satan like MTV. But this is the next step.
First it begins, say, well, we just want to be tolerant.
We don't want to offend anybody.
We don't want to come across as hateful to anybody.
Well, that's fine. You shouldn't.
As much as possible, you should be able to get along with everybody, but it is not a loving thing to hide the truth from somebody, just like it's not a loving thing to hide the truth about vaccines from people.
We've had a lot of church leaders who did that, and who followed the culture, and who followed the government, and who followed science, and that's exactly what the Church of England is doing right now.
But it doesn't end with that.
They don't want you to tolerate what they do.
They demand that you celebrate what they do.
And if you don't celebrate, they will punish you.
And that is exactly what the Archbishop of Canterbury is promising right now.
He is going to root out all opponents.
See, this is not about live and let live.
No, he's going to punish you and kick you out.
He said he promised to take action against clergy and against lay members.
Who condemn homosexual activity and the LGBT agenda?
Well, I just have to quote Jesus when he said, have you not read?
He who made them, made them male and female, right?
Well, I guess they haven't read that, or they don't believe it.
The leader of Christian Concern...
He's giving a green light for a witch hunt of any Church of England clergy who believe in the traditional view that marriage is between one man and one woman for life.
Well, then why don't you leave?
Why are you waiting for him to throw you out?
Why don't you leave this corrupt organization?
You see, this is what we're seeing happening here.
We have seen it happen in all these other organizations.
We're seeing it happen in schools and universities and all the rest of this stuff, right?
Social media. All these things that have been happening everywhere are now coming to the institution that should have given people the foundation and the backbone to oppose this in the first place.
And now this corrupt, hollowed out tree, this establishment church, is now collapsing in on itself.
He says, here's a promise, said the Archbishop of Canterbury, to a person who was complaining that there were people who pushed back against homosexuality.
And I would just say this. I was talking about this with Karen yesterday, my wife.
And I said, you know, it's one of the things like the James Bond franchise, right?
To me, James Bond is Sean Connery.
You want to put somebody else in there, fine.
Give them a different name, you know?
Just like they did with the Jason Bourne series.
They continued that whole story, but they had another, you know, when they...
They went from Matt Damien to Jeremy Renner.
Same program, but they changed the guy's name.
Just do that. I mean, if you're going to change James Bond to Idris Elba, have a black man, fine.
He would be good in the role, but call him something other than James Bond.
Give him a different name.
If you're going to do this...
Then just don't call yourself Christians.
Create a new church.
Call it the Church of Gaia or something.
You can worship Mother Earth, Paca Mama, whatever you want to do.
Just don't call yourself Christians.
That name's been taken.
Okay? By the way, it means Christ's men.
Christians, right?
As in anthropology or something like that.
So it actually means Christ's men.
That's got to be real offensive to them as well.
You need to change that name Christian.
Stop using it. It's sexist.
So I want the Church of England to stop using that name.
But he says, Archbishop of Canterbury says, here's a promise.
You send me the details of a church that's saying something like that, and I'll ensure that there is a disciplinary process against the clergy who said that.
And we'll root them out.
We'll root them out.
Send me the details of that bit of paper and their names at the bottom of it, and I will take action.
As so, he was responding to an activist, Peter Tatchell, who said that the church ban on LGBT marriage is homophobic discrimination.
Well, you know, we do know that that probably is true.
I think the Church of England is very much afraid of homos.
The Church of England, however, is not theophobic.
The Church of England is not afraid of God.
They're afraid of the LGBT. That actually is true.
For once, they got it right.
So he went on to say the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Listen to how he changes things.
There was a conservative bishop in Uganda, Stephen Kazimba.
He said, did you hear what the Archbishop of Uganda said at Christmas?
He said that we better offer parents to drown their children than to let them be gay.
Well, that's not what he said at all.
At Christmas time, he was reading from Luke 17.
He said, To those who are recruiting children into homosexuality,
he said, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
And so this guy twists us just as they have twisted all of the rest of the scriptures.
He said, well, he's saying it would be better for you to drown your kids.
That's not what was said.
But the archbishop did not quote that.
He does not want to quote Jesus because Jesus is offensive, right?
Absolutely. So the Church of England, again, decides that they're offended by everything about God.
They even want to reinvent his gender.
They don't understand the idea of headship.
You see, this is the whole thing.
When you're talking about marriage, you're talking about God as a father.
When you're talking about adoption and all the rest of these things, this is not about sexual organs.
These people are so obsessed with And addicted to sex.
That everything to them is about genitalia.
And, of course, they look at gender as well.
But what God was telling us in all of this was he was giving us an understanding of his headship.
And as they say, well, you know, we ought to get rid of this God the Father thing because a lot of people had fathers that were really difficult.
You know, they had a bad relationship or they had abusive fathers.
It's like, I understand that. I know people do struggle with that image.
I had a good father.
I was blessed to have a good father.
But I also had a very bad father that I never met.
Adam. And if you don't understand how that implies, if you don't understand that Adam was the head of mankind, that there was one person in charge, God doesn't make any two-headed animals.
And we don't have any corporations with two CEOs.
We don't have two presidents.
We don't have two kings.
You've got one person in charge.
If Biden makes a bad decision and nukes the planet, we're all going to suffer.
And that's essentially what Adam did when he rebelled against God.
He nuked the universe.
All creation was cursed.
All creation groaned.
That's what Christ came to change.
And if you don't understand that principle of headship, which is what God is trying to teach us in marriage and fatherhood and all the rest of this stuff, that is one of the reasons why there is a war on that truth.
Is to make sure that we don't understand that.
That we don't understand the basis of our relationship with Jesus.
Jesus didn't come just to have coffee with us on Sunday mornings or something.
Because he just gets us.
It's not about that.
It's a lot more serious than that.
And we better get serious because these are serious times.
We need to understand that...
This whole idea of changing things has been going on for quite some time.
There's a lot of modern translations where they would go through and when it would say, you know, the Bible would refer to man, it would start changing it to people.
Well, that's generally right because it was talking about mankind, but what was missing there was this understanding that if we are in Christ as our head, just as the Father is the head of Christ and Christ is the head of the church and the husband is the head of the family, if we don't understand those types of things and we don't understand the basis of our relationship with God, And that's going to have all kinds of consequences.
But the biggest consequence is that we don't...
You know, Jesus never diminished women, as one person pointed out.
He did everything to...
He broke all kinds of barriers in terms of directly addressing women.
In Christianity, there's no difference between male and female.
So that type of thing is not there.
Those types of barriers are broken down.
The barriers that are there...
Are the barriers that we've put up as rebels.
And that's what needs to come down.
And yet, it is the institutional churches that are putting up more and more barriers for people.
Saying, we've got a different way to do it.
We've got a different way to do marriage.
We've got a different way to tell people about Jesus.
We've got to get over these political things by repudiating these conservative policies or whatever.
It's not even about that.
They don't even understand the fundamental relations.
All right, we've got Gerald Sunti ready to go.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Stay with us. Decoding
the mainstream propaganda.
It's the David Knight Show.
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 development of the TheDavidKnightShow.com Alright, welcome back and joining us now is Gerald Salenti of trendsresearch.com and trendsjournal.com.
I call it trendsresearch for so many years, but he's also got trendsjournal.com that takes you there where you can see a sample of The Trends Journal.
It's a weekly publication. Several hundred pages of detailed articles each week.
And, of course, it's in a magazine format.
Hyperlinks to get to different things.
Great magazine. And Gerald has always been at the forefront of pushing for peace.
Pushing against war.
And that is what they're trying to push us into right now.
So, very anxious to talk to Gerald and get his take on the many developments that have happened this last week.
Thank you for joining us, Gerald. Oh, thanks for having me, and thank you for all that you do.
Well, I wish I could do more, and I know you wish you could do more to wake people up.
Let's talk about what happened this last week.
You had the... This is all brought back what happened with the Nord Stream pipeline based on a detailed article by Seymour Hersh, somebody who's won Pulitzer Prizes, been the New York Times, and so the mainstream media will not ignore him.
He's got a lot of credible sources in the past with stories that he's broken inside the administration.
had a very detailed article about how this was done, the organizations that did it.
And, of course, we knew all this stuff from the very beginning, didn't we?
We knew that it was tied to these Baltic Sea operations.
We knew that the U.S. had the motive to do this.
The Russians didn't.
And so none of this was really a surprise, but the details were interesting, and it brought this back to the public.
And now, because he's such a credible source, you have people asking.
So you had Senator Lee say, is this war?
And you had the Russians say, is this a terror attack on infrastructure?
So which is it? Is it a terror attack or is it war?
Let's go back to what the media is, how the media is covering it.
They're barely covering it.
When they do cover it, they cover it in a negative way.
This is the headline from Business Insider, which is business nothing.
It's a joke. Business Insider.
The claim by a discredited journalist that U.S. secretly blew up the Nord Stream pipeline is proving a gift to Putin.
That's the headline.
He's discredited? You know why he's discredited?
How's that? He's discredited because...
He said that what happened in Syria with that chemical attack wasn't done by Damascus.
It was done by the Syrian rebels.
White hats. And he was bought on about that.
Absolutely. 100% correct about it.
We wrote about it as it was happening.
But those little scumbags at Business Insider are only little low-life prostitutes selling propaganda.
They're CIA insiders, aren't they?
They're CIA insiders.
Yeah. That's what they are.
And the other one was...
Here we go.
In recent decades, he has come under criticism...
By those who call it poorly sourced, conspiratorial, and over-reliant on anonymous sources.
Oh, by those who call it?
What? Who those?
Who are the those? This is not journalism.
Journalism is dead in America, and that's why you subscribe to the Trends Journal, because we don't do this kind of crap.
Anyway, the open-source investigation outlet Bellingcat, whoever they are, was deeply critical of his reporting on chemical attacks in Syria.
And Vox, oh, Vox raised doubts about his Vox that's going down the crapper because they're a bunch of little crap heads.
He raised doubts about his infamous 2015 claim that President Barack Obama did not, in fact, mastermind the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Oh, you mean the Osama bin Laden that little Georgie Bush said was in Afghanistan and we got to get him dead or alive and the Afghan war went on for 20 years and it cost trillions of dollars and you killed hundreds of thousands of people?
Those dirty Russians. Oh no, that was George Bush, the lying Bush.
Oh, oh, and you remember we saw all those pictures of the dead Osama bin Laden.
Oh no, I remember the U.S. Navy Threw him into the ocean because that was the correct burial of...
How can you be so stupid to swallow this crap and they sell this as...
And then what happened to the SEAL Team Six afterwards as well, right?
Yeah. It was interesting because, you know, you go back at the beginning with the Syria thing.
It wasn't just Seymour Hersh who was saying that.
Oh, no. You had a British reporter, and I forget the guy's name, but he went there and he interviewed a doctor at a hospital and he said, yeah, there was so much shelling that nobody could breathe because of the dust and we were treating people like that.
And he goes, then one of these guys with the white hats, and of course we all know who the white hat guys are, they're the CIA front group.
He said one of these white hats came in and said, It's a chemical attack, and then everybody starts freaking out.
And then you had evidence of pictures of the canisters and all the rest of the stuff.
There was a lot of hard evidence.
He was not the only one reporting that.
And the big tie to that and to this pipeline thing is that there was no motive.
There was no motive for Syria, when they're winning the war, to go in and resort to the very thing that would bring in outside forces, which is a chemical attack.
And so just in the same way that there was no motive for Russia to blow up a pipeline that was going to be 45% that had been just Nord Stream 1 was 45% of their revenue.
So there's no way that they would have blown that up.
Oh no, don't you remember the propaganda?
Russia did it so they wouldn't have to send gas and oil into Europe.
Yeah, yeah. You remember, that was the propaganda that was sold.
Yeah. Well, it's even, you know, even the New York Times said after Russia started quietly making Inquiries about how they could repair the pipeline.
The New York Times then said, oh, this is kind of an interesting development.
In other words, it doesn't fit what we've been telling you.
You know, it's completely contradictory to the lies that we've been telling you the last few weeks.
And then people, again, what you just said about what happened in Syria, 99.999% of the people have no clue.
Yeah. Again, you nailed it perfectly.
We wrote about it as it was happening as well.
And then let's go back to the North Stream pipeline.
When they blew up the North Stream pipeline, and when they bombed the Crimea Bridge, that's when the Ukraine war escalated.
And Putin warned that if you start doing this kind of stuff before it happens, we're going to escalate this war.
Yeah. That's right.
People have no idea about that.
Now, this is the comments.
This is from Bloomberg.
Russia blames U.S. for Nord Stream blast.
Threatens consequences.
Oh, yeah. Quote, our assumption was that U.S. and several NATO allies were involved in this disgusting crime, Deputy Foreign Minister of Moscow said yesterday.
And saying that they threatened, quote, unspecified consequences for Russia because of what they did.
And then a Swedish investigation into ruptures of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines across the Baltic Sea to Germany from Russia detected residue of explosives and concluded, quote, that grievous sabotage, unquote, caused a breakage.
Okay, let's go back to the Swedish investigation.
After the investigation, they wanted more information.
Did they know about who did it and why?
And Sweden refused to give the information.
Yes. That's not included in this.
And you only know about this like you or I and the others that read a lot and study what's going on and take it from all the different sources.
So now, as we used to say in the Bronx, payback's a bitch.
Oh, you're going to blow up our pipeline?
And you think you're going to get away with it?
That's right. Yeah, it's kind of interesting, isn't it, that we've seen so much disruption in terms of cyber attacks, which, you know, you can't reliably pin on anybody.
They may try to do that at some point in the future, because we did have Obama say, anybody does a cyber attack on our infrastructure, we're going to treat that the same as if, you know, they've blown up a pipeline or something.
That'll be an act of war.
But we've seen what happened with the FAA, you know, shutting down all the flights because, you We've got notification of events and that type of thing.
That went on from late night until about 9 or 9.30 in the morning the next day.
And then when they got that controlled, then the same thing happened with the same database, but on a completely separate system in Canada, exactly the same MO. And we have seen other attacks like that into the I look at these things and I don't know, there's no way to know if this is ransomware attacks that are being done by pirates, essentially, individuals looking to make money, or if this is a state-sponsored thing.
But I think it is interesting and I think we're going to see a lot more of that.
And everything is just escalating out of control, isn't it, Gerald?
I mean, when we look at what's going on in the UK, this last week we had Bojo the Clown and Richie Rich entertaining Zelensky and him thanking them in advance for the jets that they're going to get.
But they're going to train the pilots.
And, you know, they're preparing for that to happen.
And you've got the former defense minister of the UK saying, we're going to send in UK troops to get this nut.
They're moving full speed ahead into World War III, and everybody is just like...
Deer in the headlights, doing nothing.
You have a few people say, hey, we're sleepwalking into World War III. Even at the UN, even Musk, people are saying, hey, you're going into World War III, you know.
But the public is not really pushing back, are they?
They don't. Again, look what's going on in France.
This is like the third week in a row.
Two million people taken to the streets because they want to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.
Can you imagine in America you can't retire at 62 or 64?
But two million people.
Well, they've got 67 million people living in France.
Two million taken to the streets.
You can't get a million people in America to take to the streets out of 332 million.
That's right. Look what America looks like.
You want to know how America looks like?
You want to know how low it can go?
Look at the Grammys. Could you see a better freak show than that?
Yeah. All right?
So that's what this country's gone into.
And by the way, nine days from today, in Washington, D.C., at the Lincoln Memorial, starting at 1230 noon, we're going to have a big rally.
It's put on by the Libertarian Party and the People's Party.
Rage Against the War Machine.
Ron Paul, Kucinich, Tulsi Gabbard, myself, and Scott Ritter, a whole great line of speakers.
So please, everybody, go to rageagainstwar.com.
Rageagainstwar.com.
Check out what's going on there.
And please try to come.
It's going to be at the Lincoln Memorial.
We're doing everything we can to fight for peace.
What's the date again on that?
February 19th.
It's a Sunday. Okay.
February 19th, 1230 noon, right around noon, at the Lincoln Memorial.
And RageAgainstWar.com.
Now, you're going to see, again, you'll probably get no media coverage because, you know, I have the big rallies and they don't get any media coverage.
But you said, you know, people don't know what's going on.
Forget about those people.
Forget about them.
They're the ones that, you know...
Marched off to the COVID war.
It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men from Samuel Adams.
And that's where we need to be there.
The people that are listening to your show, the people that listen to mine, the people that are aware and want to do something.
I had a friend of mine email me and he said, you know, great that you're doing this.
He said, but most people won't listen.
I wrote back to him. I said, thank you for writing this.
I said, I don't care about the people that don't listen.
I said, how about the people that do listen, the people that do know what's going on?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I don't care about convincing the other people that don't know and don't care.
What are you doing to bring peace?
What action are you taking?
I don't want to hear any more about what the people don't get.
What are you doing?
Everybody listening, what are you doing?
Are you donating money to Occupy Peace or FreedomPeaceAndJustice.com?
Are you going to come to the rally?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
And you know the story of why I bought, and you've been here, you saw the buildings that I bought on the most historic four corners of America.
Yeah. It's because when I came back from Berlin on April 27th, 2012, when we opened the magazine there, I went on April 17th.
Ten days later, I came back and it was a for sale sign on the Franz Roggenhaus, 1750 building.
I was looking to leave the country.
When I came back from Berlin, my life changed.
Because here I am, they're driving me around.
Berlin is beautiful.
Parks everywhere.
No building. Not this ugly, crappy steel and glass that they've destroyed America with.
Nothing over maybe 16 stories.
And I'm having a beer, looking across the street, and I see beautiful, beautiful German building, and at the same height, all new constructions.
And everywhere I went, I saw the same thing.
Beautiful, beautiful buildings, mostly all new construction.
And I said to myself, where were the German people to stop this before everything was destroyed?
You're losing. That's right.
You're losing the war.
You got it. Where were you?
Where are the Americans?
We're losing the war.
The war that's going to annihilate life on Earth.
I mentioned about Business Insider.
They're running articles about what to do if a nuclear explosion happens.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, and a friend, a friend's friend, a friend just told me two days ago, That her very good friend that works at one of the nuclear power plants here, not far from me, in New York, they're now giving the people courses on what to do to treat people in case that there's a nuclear explosion.
Wow. Yeah, that's where we're headed with this.
I guess the people, the only people who'd be happy about this would be Biden and the French protesters who want to retire early because they would be able to retire early.
Yep, you'll retire.
And can you imagine the idiot, moron, stupid people that are building bomb shelters?
Oh yeah, you're going to come out of the bomb shelter.
Life is going to be beautiful when you come out.
Oh, the bands will be playing.
Oh, the kids will be...
Everybody will have such a great, great time.
Yeah, that's right.
There's this great speech that everybody should read by President John F. Kennedy.
June 1963.
Five months before Jack, you're dead, they killed him.
At the American University, it's his commencement speech.
It's all about peace.
And he says how the Russians are this, the Soviet, the Communists.
He said these are also very good people, culturally, intellectually, scientifically.
He said no country suffered more in World War II than they did.
These are Kennedy's words.
Over 20 million of them were killed.
He said the land equal from Chicago to the East Coast was destroyed.
Wow. He said if two Powers, major world powers, the United States and the Soviet Union get into a nuclear conflict in 24 hours.
This is his quote. In 24 hours, he said, life will be destroyed on Earth and will be destroyed for generations.
Yeah. And it's a lot worse now than it was then.
Exactly. Yeah.
Many more bombs and faster.
They couldn't stop a balloon. That's right. They couldn't stop a balloon.
They're going to stop hypersonic missiles.
Yeah. Yeah.
They were getting their pronouns correct.
The Defense Department.
Yeah, what a joke that whole thing has been, isn't it?
It's just amazing. Well, the Defense Department's a joke.
Oh, yeah. Look at the Joker running it.
Oh, yeah. That arrogant, arrogant, arrogant murderer of Iraq when he was a general, Lloyd Austin.
Mm-hmm. How many people did you kill over there?
Oh! But my last job, I sat on the board of directors of Raytheon, the second largest defense contractor in America.
So you be quiet, son, I tell you.
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
Is there going to be any live streaming of this event?
I don't know. Again, go to the site.
You know, I'm just one of the speakers.
RageAgainstWar.com. Yeah.
Yeah. And, again, a great list of speakers.
And, you know, I said, you don't have to pay me.
I said, you know, don't pay my expenses.
As a matter of fact, I donated money.
I said, I'm going to do, you know, I'm doing this because I'm a trend forecaster.
I had best-selling books, Trends 2000, Trend Tracking, Far Better Than Megatrends, Time Magazine, 43 years of doing this, been writing a magazine since 1991.
My business is to look ahead, and I see the future, and it's hell on earth if we don't stop it.
Well, while you're there, take a lot of pictures of Washington, D.C., and pictures of the Lincoln Memorial, because if Biden kicks this war off, they'll be gone.
Yep. You'll have some real collector's items there.
Some of the final pictures of Washington, D.C. Of the United States.
Yeah. World War II is not ancient history.
That's right. Over 20 million Russians were killed.
And how many other millions?
World War I isn't ancient history.
Oh, and talking about nuclear bombs, those dirty Russians, what they did to Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Yeah. Oh, that was Harry Truman.
Oh, after Japan said they were defeated.
And he killed a couple of hundred thousand innocent people.
The Russians remember that.
Everybody there has a knowledge of that.
It's only been a generation or two since that's happened.
And so they remember that.
The Russian people are not as reckless and as asleep as the American people are.
American people have no recollection.
The closest that we've come to that.
It's a Civil War, and there's nobody alive that remembers that.
When we were young, especially I would see it in the South, people remembered the devastation and the loss from the Civil War because it was such a high percentage of the population that died there.
And... And so there was a remembering of that, but there's nothing at all like that that's happening.
You know, you look at World War II, yeah, people lost a family who went to fight in that, but America was untouched.
And so Americans think that's the way, and that's the way it's been with all of these proxy wars we've been involved in since World War II. Americans think they can do whatever they want to anywhere, and there'll never be any consequences for us here in America.
That is so ingrained into...
The psyche, the understanding of Americans that it's really hard to grab the American public by their shoulders and say, wake up!
Do you understand what is headed this way if these people get their way?
They're not going to wake up.
You saw the Grammys.
They represent what America's declined into.
Think of the Grammys at a time of a Louis Armstrong, an Ella Fitzgerald, all the great rock and roll people, the Motown, the Dionne Warwick.
Look, it's gone from red time to swing, to R&B, to rock and roll, to Motown, to one bad rap.
Yeah, that's right. Look at the clown show.
Look at these lowlife arrogant people.
That's right. It's about the MTV and it's about, oh, let's tweak the Christians.
I'm going to dress up in a red suit with horns and prance around like I'm the devil doing sexual things and all this other kind of stuff.
That's what it's become. That's what MTV has given us.
We have to forget about those people and we have to do something.
That's right. That's right. And by the way, I was listening to you before you were talking about Adam and Eve and all that.
I respect everything that you say, but you got it totally wrong.
It's Adam and Eve, and you forgot about Eve Adam, the transgender one.
You forgot about that.
Adam and Steve. It wasn't just who?
Adam and Steve. Yeah.
There you go. You forgot about that.
Yeah. What is transgender crap?
Save it. You're out of your mind.
Do what the hell you want, but don't tell me I got to swallow you nuts.
Well, that's the key thing, is that you have to join them.
You have to join, you know, it's not enough to tolerate them.
You've got to join them, and you've got to celebrate them.
You know, if some guy imagines that he's Napoleon, you've got to march behind him, you know?
And if you say no, you'll have a nice day, but you're not Napoleon.
No, that's not going to be allowed.
You will follow. That's a totalitarian thing.
Controlling what you think, getting you...
To deny obvious reality.
Getting you to deny everything that has been part of the society.
To deny the history, the foundation, the legal structure.
Everything has to be inverted and denied.
And that's really what they're doing to us.
In the same way that Biden is trying to, and these other people, want to have a world war because they want their great reset.
That's all part of the reset.
But the other part of it is the detachment from reality.
That's it. The detachment, these are demonic people.
They're satanic, demonic people.
That's right. They're murderers.
They're murderers. You don't ask a murderer, hey, how come you came in and shot all those people?
How many people did Obama kill?
How many did Bill Clinton kill?
How many did the Bushes kill?
That's right. Well, you know...
How many Nixon kill? How many they kill?
How many LBJ? Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Yeah. You know, one after another.
That's right. Oh, God. You know, I don't know if I read to you that article in History Today, you know, that establishment history thing.
Mm-hmm. This day in history.
Mm-hmm. About what FDR did...
In July of 1941, he seized all Japanese assets in the United States because the Japanese had the nerve to invade, which we all care about very deeply, French Indochina.
You could look this up.
French Indochina?
Wait a minute. What are the French doing in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos?
Oh, you mean they're stealing their rubber and their tin, enslaving the people and killing them and robbing everything they can?
Oh, the wonderful French that they did in Algeria and all those other, Mali, one after another?
Those French? Those murderous French?
Why, how dare the Japanese go there?
Then, also, the UK... And Dutch...
What is it?
What is it? East Indies?
Yeah. They also put sanctions on Japan because Japan went into Singapore and drove out the British.
Like, how dare you drive the British out of Singapore?
Don't you know the sun never sets on the British Empire and they can murder people everywhere they want?
So then...
Because of the sanctions put on Japan, they lost three quarters of their global trade and 88% of their oil imported.
Japan relies on 100% of their oil.
88% was lost, three quarters of their trade.
Can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor.
Been trying to figure it out, but I don't understand.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I just can't figure this out.
They don't teach you this in school.
I didn't know this. Well, you know, just take a look at this pipeline thing.
That's one of the most interesting aspects, I thought, of Seymour Hersh's piece was I was not aware that 45% of Russia's income was coming from Nord Stream 1.
And, you know, they're going to open up the second one.
And he also said that the plans, now, you know, that is verifiable.
Anybody can look that up.
I just had not seen that reported before.
I didn't realize, had no idea it was that important economically to Russia as it was.
But, of course, it's very important to Germany.
And that's what the U.S. had to stop.
And that's why the U.S., according to Cy Hirsch, was planning on – drew together the plans to do this in December of 2021, which is two or three months before Russia crossed into Ukraine.
They were going to get rid of it one way or the other.
Biden says, I'm going to get rid of it.
Newland says, I'm going to get rid of it.
They were going to get rid of it because, again, of this playing politics as to who's got the energy.
Energy really is fundamental to everything.
It's been the cause, as you and I have talked about in the past, what happened in Syria.
These pipelines, this pipeline going into Europe, it's all about controlling energy, just as you pointed out with Japan.
And go back to the North Stream, too.
That has been ready now for like two years, and the United States did all they can to prevent Europe from opening it up and letting it go through.
That's right. Yeah, the U.S. is not in Europe's interest, what is happening there.
And then when you look at Syria, the United States is now in control of the oil, which we have no business being there.
Syrians haven't done anything to us, not my business.
You destroyed the country. Obama, Assad has to go.
That's his quote. The president of Syria.
And the Iranians were going to be putting a pipeline from Iran into Syria.
And it would go into the Mediterranean.
And that's why they invaded the United States, to stop that from happening.
As I said, do you think the United States would be in Syria and Iraq if their major export was broccoli?
That's right. Yeah, and of course, you know, with the earthquake in Syria, they can't get equipment or medical supplies that they need for this earthquake because we still got the sanctions on them.
We got their oil, but you're not going to get any emergency humanitarian aid because we got the sanctions on you.
This is demonic. It is satanic, and it is evil, and we have evil people running and ruining our lives.
And again, how can anybody look up to low-life little pieces of scum like a Lindsey Graham, a Mitch McConnell, or a Nikki Haley?
A Nikki Haley. Who?
A Nikki Haley.
I'm talking about demonic warmongers.
Sorry, go ahead.
Or a Chuckie Schumer.
I'll do Schumer.
A little boy of nothing.
A little boy of nothing.
You call these guys out man-to-man, man, they back right out.
Don't talk to me like that.
You don't talk to me like that.
You got it wrong. You stop that.
Don't you? People better learn.
Everybody listening, you're listening, you're on this show because of who you are.
And I'm saying to you, you better do something.
Do something positive to change the course of this.
Because we're going to end up...
Berlin was grander than Paris before.
It was bombed out. Germany was at the height of Western civilization.
Culturally, scientifically, philosophically.
Before World War II. But God, and every German I know, I know people older than me, At my age, when I ask them about, what did your father say?
What did your uncle say? They wouldn't talk about what happened in World War II. They won't talk about it.
They were so ashamed. The Germans were so ashamed.
And now, they're sending more tanks in than anybody else.
And Putin said last week, when the Stalingrad, they replayed every year, the Germans killed over a million people in Stalingrad.
And Putin said, we're at war again with the Nazis.
They're sending tanks. Yeah, that's right.
Speaking of tanks, there's an excellent article by Scott Ritter.
I talked to Joel Skousen last week, and he and Scott Ritter were both saying the same thing about these tanks.
It's nothing but a suicide pact.
They were both saying, look...
It's not going to make a difference.
It's just the next step to draw us in.
Because these people don't know how to drive these tanks.
You've got tanks coming from three different countries.
The training on them is completely different.
They're not going to be able to operate as a cohesive unit if they can figure out how to drive and shoot these things.
They're still not going to understand how to work together for tactical purposes.
They don't have any air cover.
They don't have the infantry. So it's a complete package the way that we use tanks.
So they're pulling one element out of an assault group.
It's not going to be sufficiently trained.
They can't We're good to go.
A retired lieutenant colonel who was from the army that was in tanks said the same stuff.
I mean, I've seen this now from three different sources.
McGregor? No, it wasn't McGregor.
It was another guy I'd never seen his name before, but he was Lieutenant Colonel, and he was in the Army with tanks, and he was talking specifically about tanks.
McGregor has been much broader in terms of overall strategy.
He probably says the same thing about the tanks as well.
I mean, anybody who understands what's going on understands how absurd this whole approach is, that it's done nothing other than to—even more so, I think, Gerald, than a provocation to Putin— I think what it's done is it's a part of the gradual propaganda approach for the Western people who still think that we're there to help Ukraine.
We're there to devastate Ukraine.
And we're going to devastate Ukraine on our way to World War III. And that's the path to do it, is to put in these things and gradually escalate.
We'll go to the tanks. Next, we'll go to the planes, and we'll go to long-range missiles.
And all this is, is just, you know, that doesn't work, so it's put troops in, you know?
I mean, it's crazy.
Absolutely crazy. It's crazy because you have crazy people in charge.
Yeah, yeah. And again, you know, I had a rally over here this past summer.
I had Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter, Phil Giraldi, Gary Null, you know, and placed a pack.
My tenant in the 1774 Academy.
Rough draft. They closed down because I had a political rally going on.
Political rally? Peace and freedom?
Yeah. There are more Ukrainian flags flying around here than American flags.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's crazy. Anybody that wants to go support Ukraine, pack up your stuff.
Go. Go. Send your money.
Send your wife. Send your kids.
Send your transgenders. Send anybody that you want.
And go. Don't tell me I am an American.
And again, you know, I write about this stuff as it's happening, how the United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych in 2014.
The details...
Oh, by the way, Zelensky came out as well and said that the whole Minsk agreement was a fraud.
He just came out and admitted it, as Merkel did, and Hollande, the president of France, and Merkel, the chancellor of...
Germany. The Ukrainian president claimed he personally refused to implement a deal to peace in Donbass.
He made the admission during an interview with Der Spiegel, published yesterday.
Zelensky said he viewed the agreement, quote, as a concession on Ukraine's part and never once actually sought to implement them.
Instead, they were merely used to exchange prisoners with the two breakaway Donbass republics.
Quote, but as for Minsk as a whole, I told Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel, we cannot implement it like this, Zelensky said.
Well, I think it's amazing to me that it's gotten absolutely no coverage.
This guy, Alexei Arrestovich, who was just kicked out of the administration because, you know, he's pretty candid.
He says, yeah, you know, the Russians didn't send that cruise missile into that building.
We shot the missile and then the missile fell into the building, that type of thing.
So they kicked him out. But he said back in 2019...
He said, there's not going to be any peace.
He was the Ukrainian government's envoy for peace, and he was being interviewed on Ukrainian TV, and I've played this clip over and over again to my audience.
You really need to focus on that, because he said, no, in three years, in 2022, we're going to be at total war with Russia, and they'd been elected on the campaign to peace, and the interviewer says, that's horrible.
He goes, no, no, it's good, because even though the country will be devastated, we will get into NATO. And this has always been the plan.
I mean, of course, Zelensky, I've seen pictures of him at that conference where Putin is speaking and he's smirking there.
He doesn't want the mixed thing to go through.
And they know that they're going to go to war with Russia.
But Arrestovich said the quiet part out loud.
And straightforward. And nobody talks about it.
It's not in English. It's all in their language, Ukrainian.
But the subtitles on it got leaked out.
But that's always been the plan.
They ran on a policy of peace because it had already been going for five years.
And then they repudiated all that.
The whole thing has been a lie from the beginning.
Yep. So again, everybody, please do what you can to RageAgainstTheWar.com and try to come down to D.C. on February 19th at the Lincoln Memorial.
Go to the website, all the information there.
It's a great website, too.
They did a lot of work on this.
That's good. And tell us who the speakers are again.
Is it you? Be there. Scott Ritter will be there.
Who else? Scott Ritter, Tulsi Gabbard, Ron Paul.
Mm-hmm. Daniel McAdams, Kucinich, a whole line, a whole list of speakers.
Jimmy Dore. Yeah, so it's going to, you know, I'm honored, you know, that I'm going down there and I'm doing it as an American.
Yeah, that's good. And please, as I said, don't complain about anything about what other people are doing.
What are you doing? That's right.
Well, that's great. Yeah, it is interesting.
Let's talk a little bit about kind of a tangential issue, which is energy.
We just had Trump give his first statement.
I covered it early in the program.
And he's saying, well, when I'm president, we're going to get rid of the Paris Climate Accord.
He talked about the closing of the Keystone Pipeline, but he never said anything about the blowing up of the Nord Stream Pipeline.
It's pretty amazing to see all this stuff.
And of course, you know, as much as Trump dropped the ball and did absolutely nothing on the Paris Climate Accord, the person who really threw us under the bus was Mitch McConnell.
Because when Obama and Kerry said they'd self-ratified this treaty, the Paris Treaty, all Mitch McConnell needed to do was to call a vote.
And there was no way that was going to pass.
You know, they had the majority was Republicans, and Republicans are not going to get 60 people voting for that thing with a majority of Republicans.
So they could have shut this thing down at any point in time, but they're still using it as a political football.
How typical is that?
It's ridiculous. It means nothing.
Yeah. And again, let's just think about this.
Half of our, the budget that they just passed, $1.7 trillion.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Could you imagine, now this is going on for decades because there's that speech from Dwight D. Eisenhower, five-star general, supreme commander of the Allied Forces, on January 17th, 1961, where he warns the American people that the military-industrial complex is robbing the nation of the genius of the scientists, whether the labor is in the future of the children, and there's never been a military-industrial complex after the other wars.
Could you imagine if we put that Countless, probably $100 trillion into research and development to come up with a new energy.
Yeah, that's right.
It would be there 30 years ago.
Yeah, that's right.
Instead, we're giving it to the war machine so they can keep killing people.
The United States, whose numbers you look at, Judge Andrew Napolitano said 910 bases we have around the world.
What are we doing around the world?
Oh, by the way, I read about what I was telling you about Pearl Harbor.
And again, you can see this in this day in history.
The other reason why it upset FDR when the Japanese went into French Indochina, they went into Cameran Air Force Base in Vietnam, which was only 800 miles from the United States where they were stationed in the Philippines.
What are we doing in the Philippines?
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, and by the way, now we're opening up four more bases and that arrogant, arrogant murderer...
The general, Lloyd Austin, is bragging about it as he did it last week.
And now the Philippines are also making a deal with Japan to build their military forces together.
So now we've got China online.
Are you going to beat the Russians and the Chinese, huh?
You couldn't beat the Iraqis.
You couldn't beat the people in Afghanistan.
You lost Vietnam, although you killed 3.5 million of them, poisoned the place with Agent Orange, almost 60,000 Americans were killed, and over 250,000 seriously wounded, and probably another million out of their minds because of what they did in going there, killing innocent people for nothing.
And you're going to defeat the Russians and the Chinese, and you can't see a balloon coming over?
Ha ha ha! Yeah, but, you know, we had to be concerned about that balloon.
I mean, mainstream media, that's all they wanted to talk about was the balloon.
So you stole the cover of the Trends Journal.
No, I didn't see the cover. Tell us about it.
Show the cover of the Trends Journal.
Yeah, Pop Goes the Weasel.
Yeah, they took us by surprise.
They came in by stealth with a balloon, and we followed them all the way across.
We normally reserve those types of tracking by NORAD for Santa Claus, but this week we did it for the balloon.
Talking about Santa Claus, that's all they talk about when Christmas season.
They never talk about the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.
And this, on the economic front, it was a terrible holiday season.
And the numbers that they came out with, they had created 500 and 21,000 jobs in January is a load of BS. Because they're out firing temporary workers in December when you need them.
They fired 35,000.
And you look at the data, and some of it is here, most recently, Wall Street Journal.
Weak holiday sales tank Mattel's profits.
Profit came in down 93% lower from a year earlier.
Wow. 93% lower than a year earlier.
Wow. So this economy, as I say, when all else fails, they take you to war.
The economy is failing.
Hey, did you see the trade deficit?
Where is it? I didn't see it.
Where is it? You didn't see it? No.
You know why? Because it hardly made the news.
That's right. They don't want to talk about it.
The worst trade deficit in U.S. history.
He didn't mention that in the State of the Union.
Why did he do it? A trillion dollars.
Wow. Nearly a trillion dollars.
Just a tiny bit below it.
Wow. And...
This is the kind of what they're doing with why they're raising interest rates.
Again, Wall Street Journal.
New White House wage figures suggest labor costs pressures are easing in the parts of the economy where the Federal Reserve is most concerned about inflation.
Oh, wages are increasing.
Oh, and they're concerned because the people in the, quote, service sector, their wages are going up?
And that's why they're raising interest rates?
You ready? Mr.
Powell, the Fed head, lying little moron piece of scum, who said that inflation was temporary and transitory, Mr.
Powell has said, wages are the main driver of this underlying inflation measure because Labor is usually the biggest cost for these services.
Labor. A total lie.
The reason for inflation was zero interest rate policy that created the phony housing boom, Powell, and the $6 trillion that Trump and Biden pumped into the American economy to fight the COVID war as they locked down everything.
Here, stay home. Here's money.
And then we do the Biden oil embargo.
Throw that in for good measure.
They should have sent Jerome Powell, as I said earlier this week, Gerald, they should have sent him to take care of the spy balloon because he knows all about inflation and how to get rid of it, right?
He's an expert. He can make it have a soft landing even, you know, so they wouldn't lose the instruments.
Do you see what they said about wages?
That the plantation workers of Slavelandia are making too much money.
Yeah, that's right. As 64% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, according to the latest data.
As the billionaires got $27 trillion richer in the past two years.
And Powell says that wages are the main driver of this underlying inflation.
That's right. Yeah.
We're still paying people. That shows you how much they hate we the people.
That's right. We need to follow the example of China and have slave labor.
You know, and that's when the Simpsons made a joke about that.
Disney told them, take it out. You know, don't make fun of China's slave labor because, you know, people here might wake up to that.
And realize that the real issue is not something happened in the 1860s.
The real issue is what they're about to pull on you and make you into slave labor.
And Powell says, yeah, we don't want these people being paid.
That's the big issue.
No. And when this has nothing to do with inflation.
And again, oh, the higher wages?
Hey, Powell, how come sales would tank in December during the holiday season?
I guess the wages that people can't buy...
I'm going to tell you, this thing is going to go down big, hard, and fast.
And you're already seeing it.
And again, but when all else fails, they take you to war.
And you were talking before about cutting off Nord Stream.
Oh, it was great news as they reported it.
The energy prices went down in December in Europe.
They only increased...
17.5%, they were up 25% in November.
Yeah, yeah. It's kind of like what they were saying about the eggs.
You know, they said, oh, look, we had a massive drop-off.
This is yesterday. Massive drop-off in wholesale egg prices.
They fell 59% after going up 200%.
It's like your frame of reference here has been picked to show the trend that you want to do.
And we've seen them doing this for years with the unemployment numbers.
You know, hey, look, they would revise them every quarter, you know, to make the current quarter look better.
And they'd revise the previous quarter.
They're always cherry-picking the data points.
We saw this throughout COVID-9-11, all the rest of the stuff.
You know, they're always picking these points to make this look better.
But the reality of all this is that, as you pointed out with the wages, everybody knows that wages are not keeping up with inflation.
They could not be the driver of this.
I mean, there couldn't have been a more ludicrous explanation from Powell than to say that wages were driving this.
The wages are trailing.
And not only the ludicrous statement by Powell, but how the media reports the propaganda.
Here, this is again from the article.
The drop is even sharper, working in a shorter period.
Workers looking in a shorter period.
According to the CEA... Such wages were growing at 9.7% annually in the first three months, ending October 2021.
By January, the growth had slowed to 4% below that for all private sector workers.
4%. Oh, 4% and when inflation...
According to the government, it's 6.5%.
And according to John Williams' shadow stat, when you put the real numbers in, it's more than double that.
So your wage is away below.
And by the way, now you put real inflation into it, and you look at where the interest rates are, it's still in negative territory.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, everybody's saying, you know, we've got a lot of inflation prices, but, you know, my wages are just going straight up, you know.
No problem. I'm getting so many raises that it's not a problem.
I mean, it's absolutely preposterous.
But, of course, that's what the mainstream media is excellent at.
They're great at selling you the big lie that is so totally unbelievable and just repeating it over and over again.
And what they want us to do is to exercise some Orwellian doublethink and actually believe them.
We should be laughing at them.
It's just ridiculous.
The media from Wall Street Journal to one after another are firing people left and right.
Yahoo announced they're firing 20% of its staff.
And that's stupid news.
And the New York Times announced they got a million new subscribers or something digital.
I get the New York Times every day delivered.
I have to because I want to see what they're writing about what's going on.
You know, I look at everything. I barely get a story a week that I could use for the Trends Journal and information that I could use that comes from them.
Yeah, yeah. When you go to the weekend and everything, it comes out to an average of about $4 an issue.
The Trends Journal is less than $3 a week.
We're giving people in-depth Geopolitics and socioeconomic trends analysis and trend forecasts that you won't find anywhere else.
Absolutely. The reason why they're firing everybody is because they're all repeating the same stupid baloney and people are tuning out from it.
Just like they're tuning out from the mainstream media.
And, of course, it's easy to replace all these New York Times reporters with chat GPT. Yep.
Have you played with that thing?
It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
Unbelievably biased and stupid enough that it doesn't even try to cover its bias.
But this thing has been rigged from one side to the other.
But, you know, it can go on and on.
It can be very loquacious.
It can be very eloquent.
And it's totally false.
You ask it anything of any substance, whether you're talking about politics or economics, it's going to give you the party line.
It's absolutely amazing. And the thing is, it symbolizes where the world is going.
You know, as I say, they got it wrong in the King James Bible.
They say the meek shall inherit the earth.
The geeks have inherited the earth.
They've spelt it wrong. Yeah, yeah.
And when you look at the young people, they're totally addicted to this stuff.
That's right. It's going to be one of these things, hey, I got a printout, you know, and so it's believable.
People are going to look at this, oh, this is AI saying this.
I hope that people develop a healthy skepticism of this.
I worked with it and I said garbage in, garbage out.
But I think that most of the kids coming through the system and watching MTV and all the rest of stuff, you know, that whole culture that's been deliberately dumbed down, I think they're just going to be enthralled by the chat GPT type of thing.
I think it's going to be very dangerous from that standpoint.
Our generation, a lot of people, our listeners, they're not going to pay any attention to this at all, but I think it's going to be a very useful force for the propagandists.
Absolutely. Oh, absolutely. And again, dumbing down society.
Yeah, yeah. Look what society looks like.
Look at the obesity.
You know, here's the deal. As I see it, I'm only me.
I have all the pictures of my aunts and uncles, my mother, father, grandparents.
I thank them every day.
May their souls rest in peace for all that they gave me.
Because I'm only me because of where I came from.
If my mother was a drug addict and I didn't know who my father was, she'd think I'd have a shot.
That's right. And so now what's happened is that my generation, they started selling the thing that women have to be in the workforce and how dare women as smart as men are and they should get in the workforce.
You don't have to raise your children.
Put them in a daycare center so you have a stranger that's getting paid lousy wages and you got a whole bunch of other kids there watching them and feeding them crap.
That's right. If my mother didn't raise me I wouldn't be me.
I'd be dead. That's right.
And now, no, no, you're going to daycare center, or then you go to preschool, so you're not even at home anymore, so you have strangers raising you, and you're eating crap food.
Can't understand why the obesity rates are they are, why people look like crap, and why everything is so stupid.
Can't figure it out. Women have only been raising their children, what, since the beginning of time?
That's right. Yeah, it's a very clever attack to get people to outsource the raising of their children.
That is what they have always sought, is to give us control of the kids.
Everybody knows that. Every dictator, you know, that maxim, give me the kid, you know, for the first years of their life and their mine, you know, and Even the Bible says, you know, train up a child in the way they should go, and when they're old, they'll not depart from it.
But, of course, the opposite is true, and every dictator has known that as well.
It is a broad spectrum of takedown that we've seen with all this stuff.
But, you know, when we go back and we look at how they're coming at us, it's the financial system.
They're ramping up this CBDC. You've got the U.K. saying, well, we've got to have it by 2030.
But they've got an ad in right now in LinkedIn.
I saw a quote this last week, Gerald, that I think is one of the best succinct descriptions of CBDC. It said, And I think that says it all, don't you?
This is old news.
Yeah. It was the cover of our magazine three years ago.
Yeah. From dirty cash to digital trash.
That's right. You'll know every penny you spent, where you spent it, what you spent it on, and most importantly, they get their tax money.
That's right. No leaving a tip for cash, nothing for cash anymore.
The politicians never work a day in their life And they can just empty it out at any point that they want and get rid of the small local banks.
We're almost out of time.
I want to give people that website again, rageagainstwar.com.
It's February the 19th at noon in Washington, D.C., at the Lincoln Memorial.
Gerald will be speaking there, Ron Paul, many other speakers.
And, of course, don't forget...
That's TrendsJournal.com.
That is a valuable source of information.
He'll tell it to you like it is and give you the important information instead of a bunch of lying, misleading trash that you're going to get from the mainstream media.
Thank you so much, Gerald. Always great to talk to you.
Thank you, and thank you for all that you do.
Thank you. 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.
