He said, Steve Jobs saw my yacht.
He loved it. He wanted one just like it, he said.
So he goes to the yacht builders and Steve Jobs says, this is what I want, but I want you to change this and change that and change this and change that.
Larry Ellison said by the time he was finished, he changed everything about it.
And every change that he made was an improvement.
That was his masterpiece.
He was an editor of what other people were doing.
In a large way, it reminds me of Walt Disney as well, who would go around and just kind of tweak things here and there when the animators were working on it.
Anyway, I'm getting off on an aside here.
The bottom line is...
That he created this company.
He's not stopping.
He's highly motivated now, if ever he was.
Because now it's personal, and it's the biggest story ever.
And this is a worldwide story.
So you've got people like Kim.com on Twitter saying, I have asked Project Veritas to return my donation.
And Oscorp...
There you go, yeah.
Telling him, we've just moved you out of the company.
This is what... That's what happens over and over again.
The thing starts to grow.
You create this organization and the organization takes over and kicks out the person who created it, Oscorp.
But anyway, Chem.com said, I want my money back.
And he said, and I've told James O'Keefe, I'll be supporting him wherever he goes.
He said, I suggest all of you do the same if you've donated to them.
Anyway, that's his take on it.
Something really strange happened.
Nothing unusual in terms of the way we do it.
We have these income tax things every year.
We have accounting.
We have auditing. Nothing has changed in the way that we're doing it.
They came up with some bogus charges.
About a wedding, which was the Christmas party.
The Project Veritas statement, I'll give you their version of it.
As of today, President's Day, our office was closed.
We had a board meeting scheduled for tomorrow where James was invited.
And there was also a board meeting on Friday, February the 10th, where James was invited but did not attend to discuss the financial malfeasance that was discovered.
Now, that, in his statement, I didn't read that.
But he said in his statement, he said he was on a plane as the plane was about to take off.
The last email he gets is that there's a board meeting scheduled for today.
And it was scheduled to begin as his plane was touching down.
So he couldn't even attend it as a Zoom conference.
He was on his way to Nashville, he said.
So that's a bit disingenuous.
It's easy to verify those types of things.
There were two subjects that the board wished to come to terms with James on.
The company's long-term sustainability based on staff, retention, and morale.
And the company's financial health, which has been a serious concern for several months now.
Although Project Veritas leadership's not concluded, looking into the full scale of financial issues...
Over the years, a preliminary review of this time indicates that James has spent an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries, you know, like his wedding.
Here are a few examples they said have been uncovered.
$14,000 on a charter flight to meet someone to fix his boat under the guise of meeting with a donor.
$60,000 in losses by putting together dance events such as Project Veritas Experience.
Over $150,000 in black cars over the past 18 months.
That's the thing that really got my attention.
Anyway, thousands of dollars spent on DJ and other equipment for personal use, hundreds of other acts of personal enurement.
So I guess maybe some of that is the Christmas party that said for personal use, his wedding or whatever.
So it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
But again, at the center of this is Pfizer.
So all this stuff broke as that story broke.
Um... They allege that he was outright cruel to his staff, according to the Daily Beast, if you can believe anything the Daily Beast has to say.
But he said, you know, a few days after the Pfizer story, I was informed by an officer that he would resign unless I stepped down as CEO.
We've been having a conflict of vision over fundraising.
There was a tactical disagreement about the boldness of approach soliciting donations.
O'Keefe said he confronted one executive at a meeting on February the 2nd, said that if the person would not follow his lead, he would have to exit the group.
He then fired the man, they say in their statement.
He had no authority to do that.
but he was the CEO.
They said it had to be approved by the board.
Anyway, later that same day, a different officer informed O'Keefe he was going to the Project Veritas board to restructure the company.
O'Keefe said he received an agenda for the board meeting as he was set to depart a flight.
I mentioned that. It became clear to me at that moment that I would be removed from my position at Project Veritas, and they did remove him at that board meeting that they scheduled while he was on the plane.
So, I think probably what he needs to do is follow that jobs lead.
I think he needs to come up with a new company.
He could call it, I don't know, I Investigate.
The interim investigative journalist.
James O'Keefe resigns from Project Veritas, says the headline from the Daily Beast, who never gets anything right.
I remember the Daily Beast, always wrong.
When I was fired by Alex, he first started telling everybody it was about money.
He just couldn't afford me. You've seen the statements coming out of law, lawsuits and stuff about how much money he makes.
He's still making over $3 million a year in bankruptcy, where he's got a $1.5 billion judgment against him.
He was taking 10 times that amount of money out of the company in the run-up to this lawsuit.
But he had to fire me.
So, when Daily Beast saw that, oh, that was like blood and water to them, they said, look at this, Alex Jones is circling the drain financially.
As if I was the drain of the company.
It's like every time Alex would see a new color of Dodge Hillcat, he'd have to have it and go pay cash for it.
I mean, the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
But when you look at James O'Keefe and his vision of the company, that was kind of interesting as well.
You can see that in the very beginning.
He's very adamant about the fact that he's simply about straight journalism.
No opinions, no analysis.
He says, as a matter of fact, we've got good people who have political opinions and want to analyze things and add that to what they're doing is they don't work out here.
I would never be comfortable working for James O'Keefe.
What he does is very, very important.
It's important to gather the facts, but it's also important to analyze them, to connect the dots, to put them into context.
That's what I'm interested in doing.
He's a great investigative journalist, probably the best out there.
And, you know, that's incredibly important.
And I think that his investigation of what's going on with Pfizer, and if there's any connection with Project Veritas, I think that is going to be a real key issue.
So let me play for you.
What is happening with all...
Who is behind all this?
I mean, does Pfizer have enough money that they could...
Contact somebody who's an employee in a company and start destroying it from the inside.
Well, of course they could. I don't know if that's what happened here.
Again, he'll do the investigation.
But Robert Malone, I just saw this video where he was talking about, he calls it fifth generation warfare.
I would call it spiritual warfare, but here's his take on what's going on.
In true fifth generation warfare, you do not know who your opponent is.
Example, who is responsible for, who's the puppet master behind the COVID crisis as we've experienced it?
Who is it? Anybody here know?
Was it Klaus? No.
There's something above Klaus.
Was it Biden? Was it Tony Fauci?
These are all surrogates, okay?
You don't really know who is managing the message that has been propagated on you.
That's fifth generation warfare.
Over the last three years, Western governments, non-governmental organizations, transnational organizations, pharmaceutical industry corporations, media and financial corporations have cooperated via public-private partnerships, which I assert is a euphemism for fascism, to deploy the most massive, globally harmonized psychological and propaganda operation in the history of the world.
Over the last three years, you have been subjected to the most massive, harmonized, globally coordinated propaganda campaign in the history of the Western world.
Full stop. With this campaign, the governments of many Western nation states have turned military-grade psychological operations strategies, tactics, technologies, and capabilities developed for modern military combat against their own citizens.
These are inconvenient facts.
The world that many of us believed existed no longer exists if it ever did.
Exactly. And if you look, when he talks about militarized stuff, if you look at it, I remember as doing investigations in asymmetric warfare and how the U.S. government was training for kinetic operations in the United States.
Admiral McRaven, who is, I forget his exact title in Special Forces, he was head of it in some way.
And he said, we need to remember that kinetic forces are not really what special forces are really about.
Special forces are really about identifying people that can be used.
about running psyops and determining who is with us, who is against us, and the people that we can use before we do kinetic operations.
He said that is really the basis of what we do.
And, of course, it was explained to us...
And this is broader than just getting people to take a shot.
But, you know, Fauci explained it to us.
You have to prove that this works, and then you've got to go through all of the clinical trials, phase 1s, phase 2s, phase 3, and then show that this particular product is going to be good over a period of years.
That alone, if it works perfectly, is going to take a decade.
Why don't we blow the system up?
I mean, obviously we can't just turn off the spigot on the system we have and then say, hey, everyone in the world should get this new vaccine we haven't given to anyone yet.
It's going to be very difficult to change that unless you do it from within and say, I don't care what your perception is, we're going to address the problem in a disruptive way and in an iterative way, because you do need both.
But it's... The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
People have to trust me.
I mean, trust the science.
Wear your mask.
Take your vaccine.
Don't ask questions.
Using free speech to free minds.
It's the David Knight Show That cracks me up every time I say that Yeah, my son did that, the one who did the whistling.
Not Travis, the other son who did that.
And so let's talk about where we are on this iterative process.
And we know where it's headed.
We know what the endgame is.
The endgame is digital IDs, CBDC, which is the ultimate digital ID, because it comes with financial control, financial surveillance, surveillance of every activity that you do.
That is the ultimate digital ID. But we have an article here from Daily Skeptic.
Government consults on digital ID. This is the UK government.
And this is coming out of their cabinet office.
Who is in charge of the cabinet office now?
It's a conservative government, if you want to call it that.
I mean, you see Boris Johnson, you see Rishi Sunak.
These guys are hardcore globalists, Davos affectionados, lieutenants, if you will.
The cabinet office, under the conservative government, Announcing plans to share our personal data more widely across government departments so that our digital identities can be verified when we access public services.
But, quote, without creating ID cards.
He said, see how they did that?
Think about the fact that the government's got to know everything about us.
We've got to have identification to do everything, especially to travel.
Except to vote.
Isn't that interesting?
Isn't that an interesting exception?
That the only activity for which you do not need to have identification is to vote because they seek to subvert our society by giving the vote to people who aren't even citizens or alive.
I mean, that's not a theory.
I have personal experience with that.
My brother-in-law, Keith, in the 2012 election, his friend went to vote in North Carolina because no IDs in North Carolina.
You walk in, you give them a name and an address, and they look it up in their computer printout.
And the person says, you've already voted.
And so has this other person at your address.
He said, what? He says, I haven't voted yet.
And that other person is my mother.
She's been dead for years. I could not get him to go public with that, his friend.
But I've told that story many times.
The press in North Carolina says any ideas that the voter rolls are not legitimate, that they're not maintained, any ideas that people are voting because we don't have any picture ID, that's just nonsense.
It's a conspiracy theory.
It's just sour grapes. Elections are garbage.
Our elections are garbage. Have been garbage for decades, folks.
It didn't happen under Trump. He made it worse.
He added a new wrinkle of corruption with his lockdown election and the mail-out of ballots and all the rest of the stuff.
But it was already hopelessly corrupt, which tells you something about how he got president to become president in the first place, okay?
There's anybody that becomes president that they don't want president.
Why would they want Trump in there?
Well, he got everybody to stand down, didn't he?
So you got a conservative government saying we're going to have to look at sharing all this information across agencies.
Don't worry. We don't want to create a digital ID. We just need to share that information.
He said, no doubt.
MPs' inboxes, members of parliament's inboxes, have been filling up with desperate cries from constituents demanding that government extends its provision for sharing and verifying our digital identity.
He said, by coincidence, a similar demand came from a former prime minister in Davos, Tony Blair, who was with the Labor Party.
See, they're completely opposite of each other, of course, right?
And they do oppose each other on certain hot-button issues.
To maintain this professional wrestling illusion.
Heroes and heels, depending on where you stand.
But when it comes to things like digital ID, they are exactly on the same page.
I played you the clips of Tony Blair at this most recent Davos meeting, demanding that we have digital ID and demanding that we do it because, of course, we have to have it to make sure people have been vaccinated.
Gates has always, by the way, you know, this guy satirically, I don't know if it's, it is a woman, yeah, Jean Marat, wrote this article.
But she says satirically, I guess their inboxes are filling up with people demanding a digital ID. You know, that's exactly the way that Bill Gates has been selling his push to have a global ID for everybody.
He said these poor people in India, They don't have an ID. That's just awful, you know.
They're not in the bank.
They're using cash for everything.
They need to be, you know, they're left out.
They don't have banking services and all the rest of this stuff.
And we want to make sure that we get them welfare services with an ID. And so then they use that to twist their arm.
And to say, well, you know, we will, this Adhar system that Gates created with the Indian government will give you welfare, but only if you take the ID. So anyway, they go back to say, no consideration was given to those who might actively wish to opt out of this cross-sharing of information in the UK government.
It will all be so convenient.
The argument against any dissenting group has already been well-rehearsed over the last three years.
By not embracing your digital identity, you are excluding yourself from accessing public services.
See, exactly the way they did it in India.
Now they're doing it that way.
And who is that?
That's Gates. As a matter of fact, there was a clip.
There was a conservative member of parliament and he gets on Twitter and he goes, who do we have here?
Who's coming? And up behind him walks a smiling Bill Gates.
He goes, it's Bill Gates and he's here.
And then, you know, they roll this out.
Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
Not embracing your digital identity, you were excluding yourself from public services.
Just as surely as those health workers made themselves unemployed by exercising their right to decline an injection.
Maybe they should call it the choice ID. Because that's what they did in India.
You got a choice. You got no money.
You got no job. You're poor.
You're injured or whatever.
The government will give you money, give you food.
But you got to take the ID. But you choose to take the ID. It has to be laid out this way, if you understand who's behind all this.
You know, Satan wants you to make a choice with a number, right?
So it's a choice ID. It's kind of like the choice lanes that are being sold by a Tennessee governor, right?
The choice lanes, the choice ID. It's your choice.
You can have a job and the vaccine, or you can have no vaccine and no job.
It's your choice. It's all about choice, and we want to honor your choice.
Who will you serve? Like programmable CBDCs, the digital identity is a cornerstone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution agenda, which has completely captured governments across the Western world.
Does anyone seriously believe that our government will not implement these proposals?
Regardless of public opposition, Australia is pressing ahead with its own digital identity scheme.
In Canada, Trudeau has made it clear That federal funding for local healthcare services will only be made available to the provinces that fully embrace and implement digital identity systems.
These governments that are bankrupting themselves with spending, they've got to be fiscally conservative.
We don't want to give any services to people who don't have the digital ID. What are they doing with the open borders?
What are they doing giving welfare to people who aren't citizens?
Votes to people who aren't citizens?
But no, we have to make sure that you've got the digital ID before we can waste money giving people any of these services.
Our government websites They said in the UK, contain page after page setting out the framework for regulation and implementation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is already finalized apparently, after the last public consultation, which attracted 270 responses out of all the UK. This is how they get away with it.
Similar information appears on the websites of other governments, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, US, France, Germany, Netherlands, all of them.
And on the websites of supranational institutions, such as the UN, the European Commission, often using the same exact words, just translated into the language of the people that they're speaking to.
Isn't that amazing? Yeah, it's like people have written up this agenda and everybody's just implementing it on a global level.
It doesn't matter if they're conservatives or labor, Republicans or Democrats, they're all on the same page.
He said, My MP dismisses my concerns about, or she rather, about the rollout of digital identity cards as conspiracy theory stuff.
I must remind him of the annual World Government Summit, which took place in Dubai just last week, attended by some 25,000 government and NGO staff from all over the globe.
In one address, they were told, Whoever masters the new technologies...
We'll be masters as a word, right?
But I thought this was interesting.
This is also from Off Guardian in the UK. A guy saying the world wants to be deceived.
Well, yeah, wants to be deceived, I think, is part of it.
I think there's also a blindness, because we're talking about a spiritual war.
This is a blindness that is inflicted on people after God has grown tired of our hardened hearts and our way, as Isaiah said.
Go on seeing, but never perceive.
Go on hearing, but never understand.
And that is actually the world that we seem to be living in right now.
That's why I say it's not my job.
To convince people. My job is to just declare what I understand to be true.
And whether that takes any hold or not, I don't know.
Jeremiah had to do the same thing.
I feel like that some days.
Anyway, no matter how obviously absurd the claims about Chinese spy balloons or the shooting down of UFOs or the reports of how Russia is losing the war in Ukraine, and yet look at how panicked They are.
At the same time, yeah, you know, Putin is dying, they're losing the war and all the rest of the stuff, and yet we've got to get that aid there right away.
I mean, this is desperate. It's an emergency.
You know, we're losing. You know, they keep telling you both sides of the story one day after the other.
All the support for the presidents and prime ministers who shill for the war industries.
Again, you know, take a look at the FDA. It's EUA, the Emergency Use Authorization, has now just become, they don't need the emergency.
It's just emerging usurpation of authority.
That is what the EUA has become.
The FDA doing it from the inside, gradually, iteratively, just as Fauci said.
So he said, and I thought this was interesting, he said maybe a little anecdote would help.
He said a week ago I ran into an old friend at a coffee shop.
The article about Seymour Hersh, about the Nord Stream pipelines and so forth.
He said that had just come out.
I asked him if he'd seen it.
He said he hadn't, but didn't know anything about any pipelines being blown up.
He didn't even know they'd been blown up.
Let alone who did it.
Which he called from day one.
I called it. I said, yeah, we stop and think.
Who's got the motive and the opportunity and the ability to do it?
Well, it narrows it down pretty close, doesn't it?
NATO or U.S.? Anyway, he said, I was stunned.
A devout consumer of mainstream media, yet he somehow missed the major September 2022 event in the U.S. war against Russia, reported widely by the media that he relies on.
Those media went on to suggest that Russia had blown up its own pipeline, a claim beyond ridicule, but one that was part of its war propaganda narrative.
My friend, he says, is a guy who has strong opinions about everything.
And he finds NPR, The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, etc.
to be credible news sources.
How could he have missed...
One of the major stories of 2022, one that the New York Times and others were reporting on into December and still suggesting that Russia had done the deed.
How could he have missed...
Sorry about that.
I hit the wrong button here.
Sorry. How could he have missed the pipeline story Whose reverberations spread through all aspects of the U.S. war against Russia via Ukraine.
When it was referenced in so many reports of gas and oil prices, a cold winter for Europe, so many other issues, its ramifications are manifold and have been reported as such.
But he said this guy didn't know anything about it.
How do we get the information out there?
Well, you know, we have the vice president for Pfizer who was one of the first people to expose what this was.
And Dr. Yadin, he talks about getting the information out.
He, like Robert Malone, are now looking past the medical stuff to try to see the bigger picture behind it.
And Yadin was the one who first began talking about the sterilization aspect of this.
He brought that up immediately.
Former vice president for Pfizer.
Here's what he has to say about spreading the information.
You're controversial, but we need to speak to you because if you're onto something when we're going wrong.
They didn't do that. They smeared me, censored me, same as Paul.
Everyone who's trying to speak out and tell the public we are under attack.
So basically, humanity is under attack.
All parts of the world are under attack.
There's no way you can go that's safe.
So if you've heard a word of this and you think there might be something in it, Now is the time.
Now is the time.
I can't reach beyond you, whoever's listening out there.
I can't reach the 10 people in your family, the 20 people in your community.
I will never reach them. The main media will never tell them the truth.
It's you. If you don't go and tell them this very day, and then tomorrow, and the next day, we will lose human freedoms forever, and we will be subject to digital tyranny.
That's what vaccine passports were alluding to.
Cashless digital money.
Totally regulated by whoever controls the database, and it's not going to be your government or local council.
It'll be a supranational control, whether you can spend your slave tokens, because that's what they'll be.
There'll be no more politics, because if they don't like what you're saying and you don't like them, you won't be able to buy a rail ticket and a bottle of water.
So, I don't know how to stop this, but I tell you what, I sincerely believe that more people who know this, the less likely they are to succeed.
To succeed. To succeed.
And that's coming from Vigilant Fox, who put that together.
So going back to this guy, he said, you know, I talked to my friend.
How do we really understand this?
He says, as I've been trying to comprehend these matters, the Super Bowl, with its mesmeric halftime spectacle, replete with crotch-grabbing, has come and gone.
I read an interesting article by Ethan Strauss, a sports journalist, who said, why America needs football, and even needs its brutality.
He says it raises important questions.
He notes that many arguments calling for the banning of football, the war game, because of its violence.
He notes it's very true that football is very violent, but that's part of its appeal.
He says the NFL gives Americans that war, that spectacle, week after week.
Where we channel those ancient animal spirits into a highly commercialized event that ends with fireworks and a shiny trophy.
And the sports writer says we should celebrate that.
You know, it's interesting.
I used to enjoy watching professional football when I was in high school.
We had the high school pep rallies and all this other kind of stuff that went on with every game.
Every week, we had a new enemy.
Yeah, we're going to rip them apart.
I was in a pep band.
We used to shout when they were...
They're talking about how they're going, what the other team would yell out, make them bleed!
Because we knew what they were referring to with it.
But as time went on, and I grew tired of it, and I had other things that I had to do that were more important.
It got very repetitive as far as I was concerned.
And I had other things to do, and I didn't get involved in all the stats and all the rest of that stuff.
But as before, I got involved in politics.
But as I got involved in politics, I started to realize what a useful metaphor was and how the training in school, you know, new enemy each week and this tribalism and warfare training, it was very effective, really.
Very important for the establishment.
And he points out in this article, he says, in 2022, 82 of the top 100 TV shows were football games, NFL games.
And the top 50 most viewed sporting events were also football games or events.
He says in 2016 that was only 33 of the top 50 were football related.
And he said the country has lost interest in pretty much everything else.
But football is increasing in interest.
Because again, it's kind of a gladiatorial game, if you will.
The bread and circuses type of aspect.
Strauss goes on to show how over 90% of former NFL players, even if they're suffering daily, lifelong pain from injuries, say that they would do it again.
He says violence is intoxicating and Americans can get drunk on it.
It is the American way.
So that is part of it.
How they control us with bread and circuses.
How they control us with no information.
You know, what the mainstream media does not want you to see.
But, you know, let's talk a little bit more about the context of this.
Because I think information without context is really not that useful.
Here's the context. This is from the Daily Skeptic, Dr.
James Alexander. Four hypotheses about the secular corporatist global elite.
And he says we'll begin by talking about the idea of a philosopher from the 1930s, French philosopher René Guénot.
He said his idea was that all civilizations possess spiritual and temporal powers, and so somehow incorporate a tension between the two.
But that for the first time in history, our modernity, from any time after 1500, the Enlightenment, we began moving in this secular direction, Placed the temporal above the eternal, the material above the spiritual.
In short, eventually became the state above the church.
You know, even in Jefferson's time, even as a child of the Enlightenment in so many different ways, Jefferson assured the Danbury Baptists that the First Amendment was a wall of separation to protect them.
It was essentially a wall around the government interfering with their religion, or their established religion in many cases.
They still had established state churches in Massachusetts, and I think it was one other New England state, maybe Connecticut, that lasted into the 1840s.
So Jefferson said, no, there's a wall protecting you from us.
We're walled in with that prohibition.
But now, you know, we saw in the middle of the 20th century, especially they turned it around the other way.
They put the wall around the churches.
They put the wall around individuals and said, you can't express your religion in these public places.
You can't express your religion if you are a public employee.
That's not what establishment was about.
Establishment was about requiring people to go to a state-supported church.
You were required in many cases to actually attend church or get fined.
But you had to, in all cases, give them money, as we have to give money to the seminary of Satan, the government schools now.
Whether you attend them or not, we've reached the point Where the attendance is voluntary for now, but the support is mandatory, and it's far more than anybody had ever had to pay for a state-supported, state-established church in the colonies.
When you look at the property tax bill for your house, Anyway, he goes on to say, you had intellectuals who shifted their concern.
So the immense value that always attributed to unworldly matters was now attributed to worldly matters.
That is to say, intellectuals were now corrupt and coming after filthy lucre.
That is kind of there, but it doesn't get the full gist of this.
In other words, we are...
Operating in a sphere where we've denied God and denied His presence, and we don't understand really what is happening.
Again, you know, Robert Malone says this is fifth generation warfare or whatever.
He's still looking at this coming from governance, even coming from men.
He doesn't understand the spiritual dimension that is above and over this, the unseen world that is directing this through generations as these people come and go.
Yeah, there was just a video that surfaced this morning.
I saw it on Twitter. George Soros, starting to read some tripe about climate change or something, and he goes on about a one-minute blow, blow, blow.
People say, is he having a mini-stroke or something?
I mean, it certainly seemed like it.
And then it passes, and he gets back together, and he starts speaking in his halting tones, because he is elderly.
But this is an agenda that began before him.
It's an agenda that's going to continue after him, without him.
It's not, you know, these people are just who you interact with.
Robert Malone is starting to get an idea that this seems to be, you know, a leaderless thing, and yet they're all on the same page.
How is this working? Well, this is how it works.
Anyway, he says, He said his hypothesis is that the decline of Christianity in our civilization, the decline of the eternal and the spiritual, coincides and was probably ultimately caused by the rise of what he calls the myth of progress.
Progress is a conviction that the world, this world, is getting better always.
This is something that we frequently associate with Francis Bacon or John Stuart Mill, Voltaire, Marx, Karl Marx.
Kings North builds a very effective vision of history on this hypothesis, which enables him to explain why leftists and corporatists are so agreed nowadays.
He says they all want progress.
Well, again, I think that we can look at philosophers and we can look at the events that are happening.
But my context for understanding everything comes from the Bible.
And I understand when I look at this and compare it to what I've seen in recent history, we see this pattern going over and over again throughout the Old Testament with the nation of Israel.
They... Return to God.
Things get better. They deny God.
God brings judgment on them.
Take a look, though, in our time at the Weimar Republic.
Look at the degeneracy of the German society in between the wars.
And even though it was famous for its moral decadence, it can't hold a candle to what our society has become.
And especially to the global influence that our society has become.
Our society has become a cesspool, and it is a cesspool that's just like the Mexican sewers dumping into San Diego, or I think it's San Diego.
Raw sewage is being dumped in there by Mexico.
We've got raw sewage that's coming out of California, out of Hollywood, just in general.
I know Hollywood is...
Decentralizing, I think. But coming out of the film industry, coming out of the entertainment news industry, that raw sewage is being pumped into every house on the globe.
And is God going to judge us for that?
What happened to the Weimar Republic?
Well, they had economic ruin, hyperinflation, you know, the proverbial wheelbarrow full of paper money to go buy a loaf of bread, and war.
Total devastation.
Unless we turn from this.
many of you will have the opportunity to become a 21st century Corrie ten Boom so perhaps the globalists and the localists like Kings North because Kings North talks as of an opinion as I do that we need to come together locally to try to do what we can to resist this I I mean, we always, we never give up, right?
We're not fatalists. We don't know for sure if this is the end of the world, as predicted.
It certainly is lining up that way in a lot of different events.
But you never know when that's going to happen.
Nobody does. And as I've quoted many times, Martin Luther said, if I knew the world was going to end tomorrow, I would still plant a tree today.
Because that is the way we are to live our life.
And we are to resist evil, regardless of whether or not it looks hopeless.
That is the way we live our life.
And we do that because we know we have already won.
I'm not one of these people that believes, once prayed, always saved.
But you have promises from God if you have a real relationship with Him.
You don't have to worry about the ultimate consequences of this.
What you need to be concerned about, and what you will regret eternally, even if you're saved, is your missed opportunities to do things.
To resist evil.
That will weigh on all of us if we didn't do enough to resist it.
So, he said they disagree on so many things.
He said COVID-19, for instance, but he said they all agree on sustainability.
The myth of sustainability is that by retreating to local life and with some form of Luddism, you know, living life as the Amish or something like that, or by advancing to either technological repurposing, Transhumanism.
Whether you go backwards to a simpler existence that excludes a lot of these controlling technologies, or whether you fully embrace them and join the machines, as Elon Musk wants to tell you you can do, we can somehow settle on a mode of existence which will enable us to survive in a less frenetic, destructive, and galloping manner.
They've set their sights too low.
You know, it was just last week I talked about Burt Baccarat passing.
And that was always one of my favorite songs that he wrote.
Of course, he didn't write the lyrics. It's how David wrote lyrics.
But Alfie, you know, what's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
Well, if that's the way you live your life, that's not a very fulfilling way.
So he says, perhaps as these two polar opposites see, Gyno and King's North glimpse, he said, you've also got...
Dellingpole, a conservative opinion guy in the UK. Peter Hitchens.
He says, the truth is that we need to actually work our way back through the whole age of sustainability and the age of progress back to the age of faith.
Certainly, someone or something needs to focus these elites to submit to a higher vision.
He says, I think the only way we can make sense of this at the moment is to imagine that a church or prophet or philosopher could strike down their state corporate secularity and show them that their faith is just an ideology serving their interests, that they should submit in a genuinely graceful doctrine that can admit fault, admit error, even admit sin.
This would not be done by public apology or by a hypocritical political display.
But by interrogating their own souls.
And this, you know, we're told to pray for our leaders.
This is what you should be praying for them.
If God converts our leaders, in other words, turns them with him, that will make a big difference in our lives.
They have the power to make our lives better or worse.
God told his people in Babylonian captivity, he said, go ahead and plant your gardens and have your families and all the rest of this stuff.
Pray and work for the peace of the community that you live in.
But I've got another plan for you.
But meanwhile, do the best that you can there.
And that's what we should be doing.
Praying for these people.
We're told to pray for them. I always think, every time I hear that, I always think of the line from Fiddler on the Roof.
I said, Rabbi, is there a prayer for the czar?
And he says, yes, God, bless and keep the czar far away from us.
But of course, you can also pray for his being turned toward God.
And as he points out here, if we go back to an age of faith, what is he really getting at here?
The idea that they have a higher vision.
The idea that they are not God.
You see, all of these people, and it has never been more clear, with transhumanism now, they have a belief and a trust in quote-unquote science.
The scientism is selling, these people have really bought into this.
That's why they can so convincingly sell it to the public.
I am science, right?
They bought into this idea that science has all the answers, that science can give them eternal life, that science can augment their bodies and make them supermen and all the rest of this stuff, and even continue their mind and their consciousness in a different body that can always be repaired.
They're looking at eternal life.
They think they're gods.
They seek to be gods.
They don't understand that they're going to answer to the only God.
And so they have shut themselves off.
The government, the secular people are always saying, you need to be afraid of anybody who talks about religion and God.
Oh, those people are crazy.
Let me tell you who the crazy people are.
The crazy people are the people who think they're God.
And that's our entire political class.
And it doesn't matter which country, which party, which political ideology they profess, they all think they're God.
It doesn't take them long.
To get to that point.
So they need to understand they're accountable.
There's only so much that we can do.
That turning of their hearts is in God's hand.
But we can declare, and we must declare, what the truth is.
He says, that's the type of thing that happens.
That's the type of thing that we ought to imagine happening.
Well, don't just imagine it.
Pray for it. He says, when it will happen, We'll either be more of the same old white swanery or perhaps some unexpected black swan event.
And this was addressed at the World Economic Forum.
How is this transition going to happen?
I mean, I totally agree that the world order, the way it is built today, doesn't make any sense.
That is, it's not in line with the economic powers like India...
Brazil or Germany, you know, that they don't have a massive role in the international order.
But to me, the big question is, so how are we going to go through this transformation?
It cannot be gradual.
It has to be driven by a certain shock that will happen.
So now we will reconsider this entire transformation.
So if your question is, this period could be turbulent, could have violence, could have conflicts, we are already living it.
I think the last five or six years tell us that we are going through a rather turbulent phase.
We have lost a large part of humankind.
To the pandemic because we were all selfish.
We were not willing to share.
We were not willing to use the global institutions to deliver responses to different parts of the world.
We have lost people.
Now, how much more bloodshed do we need to understand that the transition is upon us?
You killed people.
Yeah. So he says, let's just recap.
He said you got four things.
He says that through all the ages...
There's been a balance of spirituality and secularity.
By the way, you know when we talk about the secular world?
Where does that come from? Same root as second.
Our life is but a second in the scope of eternity.
Not even that much.
And so when we talk about a secular approach, we're talking about something that just lasts for a moment.
You know, in the same way you talk about fads.
What's that short? That's short for four a day, right?
Yeah, this comes and goes.
Our life comes and goes.
Our societies come and go.
So he says, For three or so centuries, we believe that this world is getting better and should get better.
This is the myth of progress.
There has always been disagreement about progress.
Some supposed it was happening as a result of accident, of individual interest.
Others suppose that it can only happen as a result of deliberate design.
Number four, but we should not ignore that there's been a very clever fusion of the two positions.
A fusion, which has not faded away with the fading of the myth of progress, but which survives to support the strange and the novel politics of what we would call the myth of sustainability.
It's not a coincidence that the UN's 2030 agenda, you know, they had Agenda 21, and then when they gave it a specific date, 2030, they called it the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Sustainability, right? And all of these...
Must-dos, their commandments, were all sustainable development goals.
So, as you look at their vision that was given to us by the people at Davos, they put out a document that I've not talked about yet.
It is a document, Government in 2071.
And so they talk about The change in global governance that they see happening over the next few decades, they break it into three eras, and I would spell that E-R-R-O-R,
errors. But in this, the World Government Summit that just happened last week in Dubai, they came out with this initiative, And the slogan for this most recent meeting was shaping future governments.
And that was where Klaus Schwab said, you know, those of us who master the technologies will be masters as a world, right?
And so that was his vision.
And the World Government Summit...
Issued a set of dystopian predictions for the future in its government in 2071 guidebook.
This is an article from childrenshealthdefense.org.
The guidebook predicts the catastrophic climate change, mass migration, mass layoffs due to automation, ensuing social unrest, the merging of humans and technology, and they say that's going to define the next 50 years, and they say that's their best case scenario.
This is what they've been telling us For over 15 years, really.
If you look at all of this stuff, it's the same stuff.
They keep telling us over and over again.
How many times?
You know, we talk about the World Government Summit.
Oh, world government? That's a conspiracy theory.
No, it's a conference and they have their plan and their agenda and you can read it.
And they've been saying this for a very long time.
Their best case scenario...
It's again, catastrophic climate change, mass unemployment, social unrest, humans as cyborgs.
They originally created this back in 2018.
They waited five years to put it out, but it echoes exactly what the world economic forfeiture people have been putting together at Davos.
These findings were compiled to form a guidebook intended to direct governments towards a better prepared future, they say.
And so the three eras, or I would say the errors, that they come up with is 2018 to 2030.
The digital connectivity era.
The new exploration era, which would run from 2030 to 2050.
And then the really bad one, the techno-humanitarian era, 2050 to 2071.
They say, here's some samples of what they say about specific things.
Laws and industry regulations have to be adapted to artificial intelligence.
We will have mixed technologies.
Profit, public, private corporations that will emerge.
Leading corporations will create smart cities.
You understand how tightly interwoven these multinational corporations are in their vision.
They become government.
That's why I say it's appropriate to talk about global governance.
The corporations are going to be driving this thing.
They are the money behind this.
This is why, you know, Klaus Schwab brings them in.
Again, it's important for the UN to come up with a general agenda.
Davos has the more specifics about it, you know, so it's kind of like the executive branch, if you will.
But the corporations are the funding because as of now, they don't have a global tax.
That's how they're going to get there. These people, as they're working on this, they're divvying this up to become stakeholders.
So they're investing in this to be the only stakeholders.
You own nothing, but they will be the stakeholders who own everything.
So they're investing in this dystopian future to do this to you.
As a result of these types of corporate partnerships...
Coalitions of non-state players will become more important in shaping policy outcomes.
A singular ministry of the future.
That's amazing. You know, it really does have an Orwellian ring to it, doesn't it?
And just like the Orwellian ministries, you know, Ministry of Truth, well, that was about propaganda.
Ministry of Love, that was about their police state.
So this is the ministry of the future.
And there's nothing that harkens back to the past more than their vision of the future.
Their vision that they will live forever and become like gods, that harkens back to the Garden of Eden.
It's a ministry of the past.
It is a satanic ministry.
But they say the mystery of the future will exist to ensure that decisions and directions are based on long-term planning, to avoid short-termism pressures of newly elected leaders.
I assume that, you know, in their vision, Davos, Bilderberg, these other clubs that they meet on a regular basis, they will comprise the Ministry of the Future.
It mirrors rhetoric of UN Secretary General Guterres, who said at this World Government Summit this last week, we must avoid short-term policymaking that delays the big tests that we face.
They're ready for these tests.
Are you? They know where they want to go.
Do you? Do you have a vision for your life?
I'm not talking about your society.
I'm not talking about America. I'm talking about your life, your family.
Do you have a vision for it?
Because these people have plans for you.
You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.
You better get something powerful on your side.
You better get right with God.
You better, you know, not get him on your side, but you better get on his side.
Anyway, universal income will be a key where the government will have to provide support.
It will become a safety net.
Guess what? You know, they trap birds in nets, don't they?
They trap us in the internet, don't they?
Advanced preventative healthcare will become a greater priority.
That means vaccinations.
Advanced preventative healthcare, vaccinations.
As medical implants and faster detection methods prevail, tests.
We're talking about testing everybody preemptively.
Putting you in prison, taking things away.
Oh, you tested positive for this thing that we magnified by 1.1 trillion times.
They're not doing that kind of magnification for polyvinyl chloride in Palestine.
I have to check myself every time now.
Palestine, Palestine.
Frankenstein, Frankenstein.
Anyway. Aging population necessitates closer management of healthcare costs.
Euthanasia. AI robotics will be incorporated in healthcare practices, while health-related metrics may include the percentage of population with augmented reality tools and implants.
All of this will occur, says the report from the World Governance Summit.
All this will occur against a backdrop of severe climate change.
No, it'll occur against a fear and paranoia about climate change.
That illusion. Let me tell you.
You know, the more I look at this, I had somebody send me statements from Ben Gertzel, who is...
I'll get to that in a minute.
Artificial intelligence. He was a friend of Hugo de Garris, who works in the field.
And Hugo de Garris recommended that I talk to Ben Gertzel.
I never did talk to Ben.
I was...
It'd be interesting to talk to him, I guess.
I should. But, you know, Ben is really pushing this.
And just like, you know, I like Hugo.
We agree on some things.
We disagree on the fact that artificial intelligence can be made real because we disagree on the fundamental nature of man.
And what it is to be created in God's image.
So we disagree that that's a possibility.
But it is interesting to talk to him.
Anyway, Ben Gertzel says it's hokey.
It's all the stuff, AI, the Bing chat, all the rest of the stuff.
Same thing I was saying. It is pretty amazing.
And it is going to be very powerful delusion and deception.
And that's why I read on Friday all of those details, that interaction.
It was very, very good.
Very good. And if possible, deceive even the elect if that were possible, right?
This is the way artificial intelligence is going to be coming to us.
It is based on deception.
All of it. Anyway, that will be their justification for these things.
Governments will have to create dedicated resources supported by rigid policies.
Think draconian policies.
You think the stuff we've gone through in the last couple of years is bad?
No, just wait for what they're preparing.
Beer and Paranoia, a problem-solution approach.
And then they give you some examples of what it'll be like in their dystopian science fiction future.
You might have a hypothetical couple who might be excited to receive a text saying, my license is automatically renewed as the government checks my identity, my vision, my driving, and my residence records and makes the decision without me having to even go to a physical office and apply.
Of course, the flip side of that is you could be denied all of those things without being given any reason, as YouTube does today, as PayPal does today.
We're so far down the rabbit hole, we have to argue about this rather than, why am I being licensed in the first place?
Exactly, exactly. I don't acknowledge your right to license me.
Exactly. It would just be handy.
Or you could just leave me alone and not have to deal with any of this bureaucracy.
Wouldn't that be nice? We've moved the Overton window.
Exactly. Like I've said many times, my dad was driving when he was eight years old.
He didn't need a license. I didn't need a license to drive a motorboat and pull skiers when I was eight years old.
When I took my driving test, I had about an hour of experience behind the wheel.
Driving is easy.
It's dangerous, but it's easy.
You pay attention. You look around and it's easy.
Yeah, it has nothing to do with your ability.
It has nothing to do with your ability.
It just has to do with their granting you a privilege.
And that's the important thing.
They used to lecture that to us when we had paper maps.
You know, you get paper maps. And every time you have a state map, it would have a message from the governor at the time.
And it would always begin, driving is a privilege.
So, yeah, we've come to accept, we've got our driver's license.
Isn't that great? Our privilege to move.
And that's where it all begins.
If you let them tell you you've got to have a license to drive a car, license to drive a boat, you've got to have a license to get onto a plane now, right?
You're not even driving it.
You have the TSA telling you whether you can or not.
Here's another hypothetical.
An elderly couple, their prescription bottles will remind them to take their pills.
Smart pills will give their doctor an endless stream of information on how their body responds to treatment.
Of course, this is bragged about by Borla, Pfizer's CEO. The report also indicates that self-regulating conscious cities Universal basic income, higher corporate taxes, majority renewables, automation-driven job losses will be common.
These job losses might lead to increased social and civic unrest, they said.
So they foresee more forced migration, more pressure to urbanize, And a subscription economy where you don't own anything.
People own less and experience more.
Again, we've seen all of this stuff, but I just want to point this out.
You know, they keep putting this out there.
As we have the mainstream media saying at the beginning of the Davos, like, you know, this whole idea that you'll own nothing and you're good.
That was not. Well, it was.
We had the video from 2015 where they said that.
It's just a conspiracy theorist.
These people are making this stuff up.
And then, you know, the next week you have the World Government Summit, and they lay it out in an agenda?
But the mainstream media will tell you that doesn't exist.
Rumble, A. Woots, thank you for the tip on Rumble.
He says, the transhumanist behavior leads me to believe that they indeed believe in God and are doing the utmost to avoid answering to him.
George Soros appears to be losing that fight.
Yeah. Well, you're right.
Look, everybody knows that God is there.
They're whistling through the graveyard.
They know. They know.
And the fool has said in his heart, there is no God.
That doesn't mean somebody's stupid.
That means they're rebellious.
Fool of somebody who's rebellious, if we translate it properly.
One of my favorite lines from the Bible is in Job, just when they're saying, who is the Almighty that we should fear Him?
Yeah, yeah. Just even in that, the people who don't acknowledge Him are forced to call Him the Almighty.
Yeah, yeah. Or in Psalms, you know, people have gotten together, leaders have gotten together, we will break His bonds and God laughs, right?
So, as you look at this, I said, and of course, They say that ordinary citizens and their future will start to become cyborgs.
Even though we had Elon Musk come back and he pushed back against this vision of world governance, this is what Elon Musk had to say.
One thing I should say, and I know this is called the World Government Summit, but I think we should be maybe a little bit concerned about actually becoming too much of a single world government.
If I may say that we want to avoid...
Creating a civilizational risk by having, frankly, this may sound a little odd, too much cooperation between governments.
You know, if you look at, say, history and the rise and fall of civilizations, really all throughout history civilizations have risen and fallen, but it hasn't meant the doom of humanity as a whole because there have been There have been all these separate civilizations that were separated by great distances.
And so, you know, say like while Rome was falling, you know, Islam was rising.
And so you had like a, you know, the sort of caliphate doing incredibly well while Rome was doing terribly.
And that actually ended up being a source of preservation of knowledge.
And... And many scientific advancements.
And so I think we want to be a little bit cautious about being too much of a single civilization, because if we are too much of a single civilization, then the whole thing may collapse.
Okay, you understand what he's saying.
He's making an argument for decentralization.
It's very dangerous for us to all walk in lockstep because, you know, if we get it wrong, we all die.
And, of course, that is a pragmatic argument.
It's what we were talking about before in terms of different philosophies.
Now, you have some people who...
Believe in technology, as he does, saying that, you know, we need to have decentralization because of that.
That was the Rene Guyon philosopher.
And then you have the other guy, the American writer, who said, no, we want to go to a less technocratic situation.
But both of them believe that the primary goal is to have sustainability and And they just differ on how to do it for ourselves.
But it is a philosophy that cuts God out of it.
It's something that is purely pragmatic, and that's the argument that Elon Musk is making there.
So as I say, ordinary citizens are starting to become cyborgs affording brain implants, which he wants to do.
And of course, not just him, but Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, all three of them, and many other billionaires, are investing in this brain-computer interface, the brain implants.
It's still for the rich, or for people who are in high positions.
It is still expensive, but it's causing a major education gap in mega-intelligence, they say.
By this point in time. A couple would be happy to have augmented reality glasses to which our city government regularly sends announcements promoting cross-cultural harmony and connectivity.
Everything that they do is focused on government as God.
God-verment. Government even at a local level that they would be, of course, centrally controlling.
Even at the local level, the government would be omniscient.
It would know everything about you. It would be omnipotent.
It could do anything to you without any restriction.
And it would be omnipresent in your life, everywhere, inescapable.
Those are attributes of God.
And we put those in the hands of men who have a fallen nature.
That truly is dangerous.
Robots at this time.
We'll have taken over tasks in many sectors.
Lawyers, nurses, pharmacists.
But AI health-based health monitoring, for example, one of them would say, has leveraged my lifelong health data stream.
It's predicted that I'm likely to have a heart attack in the near future.
So government health services have sent me a customized diet plan.
I think what you need to eat are bugs, right?
That type of thing. So when you look at this, I mean, it truly is a horror vision.
It's the worst elements of every sci-fi film brought into their vision.
That's what they want.
What is it going to take, you know, as Michael Yadin says, what is it going to take for us to pull back against this?
We've got to get the information out there.
And where the real power is, again, our weapons are mighty if we are on God's side.
These people have declared that they're not.
I mean, look at Yuval Ferrari.
We will be gods.
They openly state that.
So by 2050, this would be, Travis, you'll be about 10 years younger than me by then, probably.
Okay, this is what you have to look forward to if we don't stop this.
Techno-humanitarian era will be marked by a shift in innovation efforts and global priorities towards redefining and enhancing humanity.
Residents of this era could expect to see sentient cities, universal basic income, AI labor relations, and shared profit corporations...
Most jobs that existed in 2018 will be by then replaced with automation.
As a result, they said education that we knew it in the past generations needs to be totally transformed if we want to stay relevant.
Children and adults need to be trained in how to use their brain implants.
By 2071, genomic health will be screened at birth because they're going to be doing genetic modification one way or the other, they think.
One's birth certificate will be part of the global registry.
It'll be part of the global blockchain.
They will be giving digital identities to all, including newborns, they said, by 2030.
This is one of the UN's sustainable development goals.
This is not coming from this projection today.
By the World Government Summit, this is the UN, and one of its sustainable development goals for 2030 is a digital identity for everyone.
They're talking about the United Nations now, global digital identity for everyone, including newborns by 2030.
I've talked about how NCR Japanese corporation has run tests in both Mexico and in Africa to identify newborns and they found that they have to wait until four days To get biometrics on the newborns that will be 96% accurate as they grow and develop.
If they get it before that, it's quite a bit less accurate.
So you've got four days to get your kids away from these people after they're born.
Owner-aware homes registered by the government that will require annual audit and approval for your home.
If you don't say what they want you to say, you're out.
Robots and artificial intelligence will lead community policing.
You know the old joke about, you know, the different nationalities and how, you know, heaven is a place where the police are British.
This used to be when they had Bobby's very old joke.
It's no longer true now. And, you know, the Germans do the technology and the French do the cooking and everything.
And then they say in hell is where the Germans are the police and the British do the cooking and on and on.
You know, it's got that. Well, you know, what about the robots?
Yeah, the robots become the police.
Again, you can see that in Elysium, that film.
I don't like that film.
And it's got a very strong leftist sub-current to it.
But if you look at what they show, the space residency, Elysium itself, one of these cities from Gerard K. O'Neill's High Frontier, in a...
In a Lagrange libration point, you look at the way the robots interact with people on Earth, how oppressive they are.
Augmentation in plants will be registered and renewed with the government.
You know, well, we give you something that will help you physically, but, you know, you're going to have to toe the line, or we won't renew that.
A hypothetical 20-year-old might work for a company that produces technology for cooling the planet.
Well, what they mean by that is maybe removing the CO2 so that plants won't grow naturally.
There'll be no need for tollbooths or choice lanes, credit cards or passports anymore, because they'll have CBDC. And that will be the means of controlling everything.
Because you won't have any money, and you won't be able to travel.
That's right. So let me just say one more thing before I go on to something else, because I want to talk about President's Day.
I want to get into the news as well.
And what is happening in Ukraine.
Anyway, this is from Scott Lively.
I've interviewed Scott.
He is a pastor, as well as writing here.
This is why we need to have natural rights-based sanctuary cities.
He said, To thrive,
to defend themselves from outside interference, and to form alliances with other communities as states.
And so he says to that end, he said in opposition to that, rather, in opposition to natural rights, especially the collective right to delegate limited power to governing authorities, in opposition to that is the concept that might makes right, that those with wealth and power to enforce their will on others.
This is the eternal struggle of humanity, from Nimrod to the World Economic Forum.
The ocean of humanity has always frothed with waves of tyranny and overthrow until the revolution that birthed the American island, unique in history, blessed with a firm, fertile soil of a constitutional republic undergirded by the solid foundation of the Christian Bible.
You know, when I talk about that, again, my vaccinated relative, his opinion is exactly that, that might makes right.
It's always been that way, he says.
And I'm fine with it.
You need to figure out how to work in that system.
Like, no. I'll fight it to my dying breath.
I just don't understand that capitulation to evil.
To injustice. I don't understand it.
And I'll never get used to it.
I will never accept it.
He goes on to reference America's vision as a shining city on a hill.
Remember, that was Reagan talking about that in contrast to the atheism and the Marxism that's now being pushed on us.
It was Reagan who referenced that, but he didn't come up with that.
That was Jesus' Sermon on the Mount talking about an individual.
Said, you know, you want to put your light under a basket, you know, and that type of thing.
But it's also that particular phrase, that America would be a shining city on a hill, that actually that phrase was Puritans in 1630 going back and referencing Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.
That was their vision for an America, for a state that was going to be based on Christian principles.
That goes back to a Puritan statement in 1630.
That was a society that they chose to build based on Christian principles.
And that's what we mean when we talk about America being a Christian nation.
That doesn't mean that each and every person was a Christian.
It doesn't mean all the founding fathers were Christians.
It means that they built it on Christian principles, whether or not they followed them.
They knew that was what the majority wanted.
Their vision to extinguish the natural order, to replace it with a transhumanist utopia populated by new and improved version of human beings, which they will literally create in the labs through genetics, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
What seems like a dystopian science fiction is in fact an emerging scientific reality in its early to mid-stages.
Backed by the most powerful forces in the world.
And some powerful forces outside the world.
He says, Julio Severo and I were fellow cultural warriors for many years in the battle for defending true marriage and the natural family.
He said, we met just after he had taken his young family into exile from his native Brazil to escape persecution by the Marxist criminal Lula, who's now just been, if you believe their elections, re-elected.
Lula was infuriated that Julio had helped the Evangelical Caucus and the Brazilian legislature to stop a bill that would have criminalized what they call homophobia, disapproval of the homosexual political agenda.
In revenge, Lula attempted to jail Julio for refusing to vaccinate his children, forcing him to leave the country.
Lula, now that he's come back, he points out, has made vaccine tyranny the centerpiece of his administration.
He said, May of 2021, Julio died unexpectedly, leaving a widow, several small children who were technically illegals in their country of exile.
When I learned of this, my ministry took a task of providing for his family financially and continuing our shared mission to defend natural rights around the world.
He has in this list, in this article rather, and this is on, you'll find it on WND.com.
He has a link to If you want to donate to this organization, he said out of that commitment, this is what the organization is, out of that commitment came the decision to establish the Institute for Natural Rights in Julio's name, but with a new approach reflecting the practicalities of his own life exemplified.
He said, One strategy for believers must be to create sanctuary cities for the righteous to flee to, or as they used to be referred to in the Old Testament, translated as cities of refuge.
He said, we have conservatives who are in control of numerous U.S. states.
Laws should be passed to formally protect the right to establish such communities and to codify the natural rights the residents may establish as their community policies.
He says there's precedence for this approach.
Take a look at the Amish community or even Sharia-based Muslim enclaves, various religious and or hippie communes over the past century.
Frankly, he said the pursuit of legal protections for a sanctuary city nature preserve shouldn't be only in the interest of Christians, he said, but a broad coalition of those who embrace natural rights.
Transhumanism is a threat to all So he says, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, even nature-loving secular environmentalists should be with us on this.
And a working coalition on those terms, in agreement on at least 80% of our social crises, could conceivably go further and could overthrow the entire transhumanist agenda by sheer power of numbers once it has been seasoned in the fight for the natural order against forced artificiality.
For now, we, like the Jerusalem Jews under Nehemiah, need to keep a sword in one hand for fighting those who would enslave us, And in the other, we wield a trowel to build a life-affirming sanctuary behind solid defensive walls while there is still time to do so.
Now, I agree in general with that.
I don't believe that politics is our savior.
And I think that...
When we go through and we look at America as a shining city on the hill, that respect for individual rights comes out of Christian theology and actually comes out even more so, more specifically, out of the Reformation.
And so... I think those principles are something that everybody of all types of beliefs could embrace.
Just as I've said before, if our focus politically were on liberty, that should unify people if they really understand the two choices that are there.
I mean, who wants to live in a dictatorship?
You know, these people, even the people out there Who are pushing for censorship, pushing for war, pushing on the left, what they have become.
And people on the right, as they push for that, they don't like it when they live underneath it.
They just imagine a society where they get to call all the shots, where they are the dictator.
But that's not the way it works.
It never works that way. The dictator may be somebody from your group to start with, but it's not going to stay that way.
And so from a pragmatic standpoint, from just a secular standpoint, yes.
But again, this is much bigger than anything people have ever faced.
The technology, the global aspect of it, this is, we now have a global language, essentially.
English is pretty much global, but especially the technology is global.
And this ability to communicate has essentially reversed the division of mankind through the Tower of Babel, and it is coming to a head very quickly.
So you better keep that in mind.
We will take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
You can even watch it by using your eyes.
In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
Yeah. Good job.
And you want to know something else?
You can find all the links to everywhere to watch or listen to the show at thedavidknightshow.com.
That's a website.
Angus Mustang, thank you for the tip, Angus.
On Rockfin, he says, every time we play that Fauci clip, My blood pressure skyrockets.
I assume that that's the one where he's...
The real Fauci is talking about how he's going to do it from the inside, disruption and chaos, and he's going to do it step by step.
Yeah, I understand. But, you know, that needs to be ingrained in people.
You need to know who your enemy is.
You need to know what their plans are.
I hope the one that we put together...
About Fauci plugging the show, trying to shut it down.
I hope that doesn't send your blood pressure skyrocketing.
Also on Rockfan Harps, thank you very much for the tip.
He said, this may have happened, quote-unquote, with a link to a meme of Project Veritas tweeting that they've signed a deal with Pfizer.
I don't know.
I don't know. I'll tell you this.
O'Keefe's going to get to the bottom of it.
This is just the beginning of a very interesting story because it's going to show us a lot about Pfizer.
He's already shown us some interesting things about Pfizer that we already knew.
But to have the documentation there to bring the receipts, that's really good.
We can infer what's going on with them, but that is good to know that.
Let's talk a little bit about President's Day.
And let's begin with education, because that's how they control us.
Department of Education, one of the most dangerous departments in the federal government.
And we got a lot of dangerous ones there.
Chicago, as it sounded the alarm, 55 schools report no proficiency in math or reading.
As a matter of fact, as I pointed out, mentioned these stats the other day.
53 schools in Illinois.
Zero students in 53 schools.
Who were proficient in math.
Zero students out of 55 schools.
I don't know how many kids I got at school.
High school I went to a long time ago was a much smaller town than Chicago.
We had 600 students.
Let's say between 500 and 1,000 students, about 25,000, 50,000 students, not a single one of them can read at grade level.
They're barely able to read.
And another 30 schools.
I'm sorry, that was math.
That was math. So, yeah.
That's why you wind up with things like the modern monetary theory or the magic money tree.
Because you can't check them on this.
And then you have another 30 schools reported zero students who were able to read at grade level.
Again, you know, that is a very key thing, because if you...
If you don't read, you can't lead.
I think that is a very important thing.
If you don't...
Well, you can be a demagogue, you know, but, I mean, you can't really lead if you don't have a broad understanding of things, if you don't have a philosophy, a worldview for life, and the rest of this stuff.
But, of course, that's usually referring to people who can read, who can read, but who don't choose to.
They're choosing to deliberately dumb down the population so they don't have any leaders who are going to oppose them.
They don't have anybody who can put together an argument to oppose them or who can even read with any comprehension to understand what's being done to them.
That's why they don't worry about putting out their plans in a formal way like that.
And so when you look at what is happening in our society and how rapidly this is changing, The National Education Association removed a page that was on its website as recently as 2020.
That page was about suggested curriculum for President's Day.
So just three years, they eradicated President's Day.
You know, we used to have a separate holiday for George Washington, another one for Abraham Lincoln.
And then we just put them together in one day called President's Day.
And now the National Education Association, the NEA, the biggest teachers union, has now just flushed President's Day down the memory hole on their website.
It was last saved on June 17, 2020.
You can see it in the Wayback Machine.
It included lesson plans to celebrate the lives of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and of their contributions to the United States, the lives and the contributions of our 45 presidents and their terms.
They've now removed that.
Lesson plans at that time, three years ago, were things like George Washington, a national treasure.
George Washington, centerpiece of a nation.
Students studied the characteristics that made him a great leader.
Now the President's Day Resources site says, page not found.
But what they do still have at the NEA site, they have Black History Month lessons.
Learning for Justice, the education branch of Southern Poverty Law Center is the ones that put that together.
Did you know that? Of course, the Southern Poverty Law Center has an education branch because that's how you control the next generation.
It's how you control the future. That's why you had the Weather Underground guys.
Bernadine Darn and her husband went into education after they stopped bombing buildings.
And so Southern Poverty Law Center is there as well.
A report on how teachers can advocate for abortion services, resources for teaching about indigenous people, an article about implicit racial bias, and so forth.
You'll find all that stuff there, but you won't find anything about the fundamental values of our country, because this is about eradicating our culture, our history.
Tearing down these statues, that's just about getting rid of history.
All the usual Marxist approaches.
So, the discarded webpage includes lessons on the Revolutionary War, on Constitutional Government, on the Bill of Rights, on the Civil War, on the Gettysburg Address, all that.
Down the memory hole by the people who would probably be teaching your kids if you put them in a government school.
This article from American Thinker, first they came for the Confederates.
They talk about the Disney cartoon that I played a clip for you last week.
The Proud Family.
This is animated kids yelling and screaming at children that you pay for this.
You subscribe to Disney Plus to hear this.
Kids, angry faces on the kids yelling and screaming.
Slaves built this country.
We, the descendants of slaves, have earned reparations for their suffering.
Continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in systemic prejudice, racism, and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for.
That's the way they say it.
What they're pushing here is not only, again, these people are radicals.
That's why when we talk about the FBI looking at traditional Catholics and saying they're traditional radical, or radical traditionalists is what they call them.
Well, that's an oxymoron.
A radical is somebody who tries to rip something out by the roots.
That's the root word of radical.
Radix, root, right?
And so these people seek to rip out the roots of our civilization, our history, and everything else.
They are the radicals. A traditionalist is not going to be that way.
A traditionalist is nurturing the roots of whatever it is, whether it's religion or politics or history or whatever.
That is an oxymoron to call these people radical traditionalists.
No, these people are true radicals.
Disney is radical.
Disney is hateful.
Disney is Marxist.
And they project those values and those labels onto other people.
That is what they are. And never forget where this began.
The first push to remove symbols, again, was first they came for the Confederates.
And who was the first person to come for the Confederates?
Nikki Haley. She was a demagogue who was doing this for demagoguery.
And that's where she is.
She's an opportunist. She's a political opportunist.
She kicked off this ball that is now rolling.
One could hardly suggest, this article, that with any seriousness...
That the agrarian part of this country where slaves existed was the most substantial driver of America's eventual economic and industrial might, most of which happened in the late 1800s.
No, no. Didn't you understand?
The Chrysler building is made out of cotton.
That's right. Yeah. So is the White House.
And, you know, it's because of slavery.
There's a reason why the aviation industry, everybody, regardless of what their native language is, everybody speaks English.
Because, you know, the planes were invented by slaves.
Yeah. And built by them as well.
They taught us, as a matter of fact, how to fly.
Well, you know, there probably was fabric covering those wings and it might have been cotton.
So... Furthermore, if the founders were truly enthusiastic about exploiting slave labor as a profitable means of building their fledgling nation, their first actions might have been to proliferate the practice rather than legislating its limitations from the very beginning.
For example, in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which created the legal structure for the area that would eventually become states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin...
In that Northwest Ordinance of 1787, it included an absolute prohibition of slavery in the new territories.
And there was no objection, north or south, to that prohibition.
In 1808, the importation of slaves was likewise prohibited.
Again, the Virginians and the southern states did not object to To this impediment to the slave trade.
Far from being a benefit to the states which allowed it, slavery was known to be a dreadful economic burden of which even plantation owners in the antebellum South were keenly aware.
As Alexis de Tocqueville observes in Democracy in America, 1836, The southern state's reasons for maintaining slavery was not because it was financially beneficial for them to do so.
In fact, he writes, many southern planters would agree, he said, with their northern countrymen and freely admitting that slavery is prejudicial to their interests.
But they're convinced that the removal of this evil would imperil their own existence.
Why? Well, because one fifth of the population was black.
It was a different race. As a matter of fact, Thomas Sowell makes that case.
He says, deciding, and Thomas Soule, in case you don't know, is black, black economist, conservative.
He says, deciding that slavery was wrong was much easier than deciding what to do with millions of people from another continent of another race without any historical preparation for living as free citizens in a society like the United States, where they comprised 20% of the population.
DeTocqueville tells his readers that slavery was, quote, a commercial and manufacturing question in the North.
For those in the South, it was a question of life and death.
So he said that the threat of social upheaval and violent revolution resulting from sudden abolition was a very real concern for the Southern states.
It complicated the slavery question for them, as any honest person would understand.
But, as I said, you know, they began with the Confederates.
They began by taking down Confederate generals, and they start taking down Grant's statues.
And now, this year, they've come for Lincoln.
You can see the articles about, oh, well, you know, Lincoln was behind a movement to move slaves into an island where they were promised they would come in, essentially as indentured servants, which is...
The way the settlers, many if not most of the settlers in Jamestown and some other places, not where they were setting up Plymouth, those people came with their families and the clothes on their back because of religious persecution, and they basically had no other options.
But many people who were coming to places like Jamestown, a lot of times they came without a family.
They came as indentured servants.
They would have to work for a number of years, and then they would...
And that would be to pay for their initial travel, as well as getting them set up and that type of thing.
So after they worked for a number of years, they would be freed.
And so it was a different kind of indentured servitude.
It was a kind of slavery, but a very different kind of slavery than what was going on in the South, where it was based on skin color and perpetual slavery.
Slavery, from generation to generation, you could work your way out of it.
Well, they offered that deal.
This is what they're coming after Lincoln about.
Lincoln offered that deal of indentured servitude.
They said, well, we can free the slaves, we can give them an indentured servitude thing to pay for the initial setup, and then they can work for a number of years and then get free.
And that's what they're coming after Abraham Lincoln for, the Washington Post, others, this year.
Because he understood. How do we incorporate this?
That's why they don't mention in this article or in the Washington Post the fact that several of the founding fathers in the slave states had set up Liberia.
Right? For that very purpose.
And to say, you know, we need to free the slaves, but they're not going to be comfortable here.
They're still going to be a minority, but it's going to be a big minority.
It's going to be tension, division, and that type of thing.
Let's help them to set up in Liberia.
That's why they called it Liberia.
And the descendants of those slaves have been controlling that country ever since.
They went in. They were better educated.
They had more money. They had skills and things like that.
They have dominated that.
Their families have dominated that area since then.
But again, you know, it was, what do we do with this?
And that was the real concern.
But I'm not a big fan of Lincoln because I think they were correct in terms of pointing out in history that the Emancipation Proclamation really wasn't the freeing of the slaves.
He only freed slaves, presumably, in states that were not under his authority, that he said were in rebellion against it.
And he did that as an offer to To the southern state saying that if you come back in, if you reunite with us, we will let you keep slavery forever.
And they rejected that offer.
But that's why he did not free the slaves that were in the states under his control, like in Missouri and other places.
And so it was kind of a cynical political move.
I think the whole Civil War was a cynical political move, and I think it needs to be understood in the context of the Industrial Revolution.
Again, at exactly the same time, in 1861, there was a revolution in Italy, Civil War there.
Slavery was not a factor.
The factors were economic.
The factors were change from an agrarian state that was decentralized to a centralized nation-state.
Where the people who are running the industrialized side of it, mechanized side of it, were getting the power.
That was the real context for this.
And those types of forces had already shown up.
In 1831, the nullification crisis, you nearly had South Carolina secede then because there were, it was the issues of tariffs and whether we were going to tax things at the border, that came up at that point in time.
And I think the reason that you didn't have South Carolina secede, the reason that they were able to defuse that as part of that nullification crisis and not have a civil war at that time, was again because of the fourth turning.
Because people at that generation, at that time, they were more amenable to negotiated settlements.
By 1861, society had been under its form by 80 years or so, and they were ready to chuck it and start all over again in many different ways.
That's why that happened. So where are we today?
Well, we got under Biden, as the new American points out, the new Jim Crow.
As a matter of fact, it's not so much the New American that pointed out as it was Tucker Carlson.
And this is what has happened.
You know, we wound up the great objection, the great concern, I should say, of the founders was that we not have what they call consolidated government, a unified singularity of government, which is what we have now.
That's why they created a separation of powers between the federal government and the states that created the federal government and we the people.
And then the federal government, they further divided into three branches because they didn't want to have a consolidated government.
That's what has been happening in the wake of the Civil War.
But now, as Tucker Carlson said on Friday, Joe Biden institutes a government-wide system of racial discrimination that dwarfs Jim Crow, and nobody seems to notice.
He said there was no press conference, there was no signing ceremony, no media coverage, but it happened on Thursday, he said.
Biden restructured the entire executive branch of the U.S. government to discriminate on the basis of immutable characteristics.
He made the announcement on the White House website and proclaims that within 30 days, every federal agency, all of them, from the Department of Justice to NASA to the Social Security Administration, all of them must ensure that they have an agency equity team within their respective agencies to coordinate the implementation of equity initiatives.
And these Maoist equity teams will report to something called the Gender Policy Council and the White House Environmental Justice Officer.
And we know that running all of this will be the largest racial tracking bureaucracy since the fall of Nazi Germany.
These are the people who call everybody racists because everything they see is through the lens of skin color.
They're some of the most The most vile and completely absorbed racist the world has ever known.
And so they call everybody they disagree with racist.
So running this will be former President Obama doing it through Susan Rice, his cutout, he says.
Rice's goal, the goal of the entire initiative, is to place the federal government, all of it, in opposition to a very specific slice of the American population.
Not a foreign population, our own population.
Here's how it works. Every single person in the United States will qualify for one of Joe Biden's many protected categories except straight white men.
There you go.
And if you are one of those, any one of those issues, you will not qualify.
So let's talk a little bit about George Washington, the other president that has been flushed down the memory hole.
This article in the New American says, Washington was the hero that even King George called the greatest man in the world.
So when Duke writes, even when your arch rival praises you with nothing to gain, you know that it means something.
So it's very notable that That what the last king of America, George III, said about George Washington's refusal to become the first king of these United States, George III, the British monarch, said, if he does that, upon hearing that Washington would relinquish power and return to his farm, he said, if he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.
And Washington did that, not once, but twice.
He stepped down as the commander of the army when he could have seized power and put himself in power.
He stepped down after two terms in office, and that became a voluntarily accepted pattern of all the presidents until he got to FDR, who was another fourth turning, overthrowing many of our traditions, institutions, and overthrowing our constitution.
So from Washington to FDR, they all abided by that voluntarily.
And again, they referred to him as Cincinnatus, the Roman ruler who returned to his farm, returned to the plow.
So... It was a fitting tribute to a true American hero to have a day in his honor.
That was taken away.
It was combined with Lincoln, and now it's being flushed by the NEA. He was a very large, very strong man, and of course, in this article, they talk about the Indian prophecy.
In 1770, when he was fighting in the French and Indian War, It was the recollection of his physician, his personal physician, who said the records don't state the nation of the Sachem, which were the Indian nations he was in charge of.
Was it the Shawnee, the Mingo, the Delaware?
But they said and told him, they said, we'd been trying to kill Washington all day.
They had targeted him.
They said multiple shots were fired directly at him, but nothing touched him.
And he told his mother, he said, a few days after the battle, I luckily escaped that without a wound, though I had four bullets through my coat.
How does that happen? And two horses were shot out from under me.
Convinced that the Great Spirit had preserved Washington, the chief said he will become the chief of nations.
The people yet unborn will hail him as the father of a mighty empire.
I've had the privilege of knowing Mark Collins.
He was a pastor at the Solomon Springs Church that was shot up.
He was not pastor there at that time.
But I talked to him about that after that event.
He said a lot of things straight that Monday after the shooting on Sunday.
But I had known and interviewed Mark Collins many times before that, and talked to him after that as well.
Mark Collins, if...
Well, let me show you this. Sorry.
I had to show the picture. That's what I thought was on the board.
Show the picture of Collins on the horseback.
Mark Collins has an uncanny resemblance to George Washington.
And when you look at him up close, you say, well, I don't know, it doesn't look too much like that engraving that I see on the dollar bill.
There is a kind of a life mask statue of Washington's face.
Not the paintings, but the life mask of him.
And on his business card, he's got that on one side.
And then on the other side, he's got his face.
And it's amazing how much they look like each other.
And so Mark is very tall and he, for years, would put on the George Washington outfit and he would give lessons to school kids.
I imagine they don't care about that anymore.
But he did it for a long time.
Interestingly enough, he now is a pastor in Yorktown, Texas.
And if you want to see a picture of him, he has played Washington in several different productions.
This is from a film called Revolution Documentary.
And again, he looks not like that painting of Washington, but he looks more like the life mass carving of Washington.
They said the battlefield tales are the least of it.
They paled in comparison to Washington's moral stature.
And this is one of the things that draws Mark Collins to him, was his moral stature.
He wrote Rules of Civility, 110 of those, when he was 16 years old.
But of course, it's not simply about, you know...
Beating your body into submission.
But he was somebody who took that very seriously and tried to live a life like that, very much like Robert E. Lee in those regards.
As one person said, Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
And weak men create hard times.
It's four different cycles there, you know?
It's an interesting way to state what Strauss and Howe have seen in four generations.
This is a repeating cycle.
You have hard times creating strong men.
Strong men then creating good times and so forth, and it goes through this cycle, these four different stages, society does.
And it does it over and over again.
They trace this back 500 years.
So that's what we see now.
We are in the phase of this where weak men are creating hard times.
That's where we are right now.
We're in the fourth turning.
Where weak men create hard times.
And it is our weakness that is going to make this more difficult for us.
Time for us to get hard.
Time for us to get a spine and a backbone and stand up to this stuff.
So, In 1775, at 43 years old, Washington became the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, and in 1783, he led America to victory over the British after eight years.
And he was, by all accounts, not a lot of people will disregard this and say, well, he was a Freemason or whatever.
I really don't know, and I don't know what level that he was.
And it is, you know, in the vernacular of the day, they would speak in a general way about God, but not specifically about Jesus, even though they claimed they were Christians.
So it was like they were trying to straddle a line in many ways.
But he is reported that To have had regular private prayer sessions or personal prayer was a large part of his life.
One well-known report stated that Washington's nephew witnessed him doing personal devotions with an open Bible while kneeling in both the morning and the evening.
This sounds very much like the type of thing that somebody who would write these rules of civility at 16 would be doing.
In the hands of a good providence...
Religion and the Life of George Washington.
The historian said, talking about prayer, she explained how Washington's youngest granddaughter, Nellie, told a biographer it was his custom to retire to his library at 9 or 10 o'clock, where he remained an hour before he went to his chamber.
He always rose before the sun and remained in his library until called to breakfast.
I never witnessed his private devotions.
I never inquired about them, said his youngest granddaughter.
I should have thought it the greatest heresy to doubt his firm belief in Christianity.
His life, his writings prove he was a Christian.
He was not one of those who act or pray that they may be seen of men.
He communed with his God in secret.
And let us not forget that the very first day of Thanksgiving, this is what George Washington wrote.
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his And let us not forget that the very first day of Thanksgiving, this is what George Washington wrote.
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor, and whereas both houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me to recommend and whereas both houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me to recommend to the people of the United States a day
To be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God.
Especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th of November next to be devoted by the people of these states to the service of that great and glorious being who is the beneficent author of all good that was, that is, or that will be.
That we may then all unite in rendering under Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country, previous to their becoming a nation, for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence, which we experience in the course and the conclusion of the late war, and for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed.
for the peaceful and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the nation one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge, and in general for all the great and various favors, which he hath been and in general for all the great and various favors, which he hath been pleased
Also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and ruler of nations, and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually.
To render our national government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed.
To protect and guide all sovereigns and nations, especially those that have shown kindness to us, and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord.
To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us, and to generally grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York, the third day of October in the year of our Lord, 1789.
George Washington.
Yeah. We have to be careful, however.
We don't want to make too big a hero out of anybody.
And I think George Washington would agree.
And as one person pointed out, he would most likely be appalled to see that we had a day in his honor.
Very much like Robert E. Lee.
Refused the honors.
Refused to prostitute himself to sell merchandise for people after the war.
He was very popular in North and South.
Now being purged everywhere.
We have purged people, men of character who should be shining examples to us.
For those that don't know, the North actually courted Robert E. Lee to lead the Union Army before the war.
That's right. And of course his understanding of it was, you know...
In Virginia, Virginia did not leave until Lincoln decided that he was going to raise an army of 75,000 people to invade the South.
And he says, I would be leading an army.
They'd be invading my fellow countrymen because they all saw each other.
They all saw themselves, I should say.
Whether you're talking about North or South, they saw themselves as citizens of the state.
They were citizens of Virginia or they were citizens of Pennsylvania.
Or citizens of Illinois.
They fought in those groups.
Those were armies that were raised by the states, as they said.
It went from the United States are to the United States is.
It was that massive consolidation that was the big issue, the driving impetus, really, of the Civil War, not slavery.
And so, yeah, he refused to do that because he'd be leading people against his country.
And so, again, the more we depend on one person to lead our nation, the more we slide from democracy into demagoguery.
And that's absolutely true.
Jim Dennison says, presidential historian Alexis Koh claims in New York Times our first president would hate President's Day.
And he's right. They did not want the worship of individuals.
He refused all these accolades.
He had people who wanted to make him king.
That was absolutely true.
But he goes on to say, you know, what is happening with this?
He goes, this is part of human nature.
It's our human nature to seek and to trust those who can do things for us that we cannot do for ourselves.
Here's examples Jim Dennison gives.
He said, it starts when we're children and we depend on our parents and our older siblings.
As we grow older, we come to appreciate soldiers who defend us and police who defend us.
We become grateful to doctors whose medical expertise exceeds our own and supports our health.
We learn to trust counselors who can advise us in areas of finance and relationships.
Mentors, teachers whose wisdom can guide our path.
Do you understand where we are?
Is there something in you as I'm reading all these different things?
We're talking about doctors who help us in ways that we can't with our health.
Is that really the way we think of doctors today?
What about the military?
Are they defending us?
Are the police defending us?
In some cases, yes.
But more often than not, what we're looking at is not necessarily the corruption of individuals, but the corruption of these institutions.
These institutions are rotting from the top down like a dead fish.
And so, as we see, you know, our mentors, our teachers who are lying to us and deceiving us, we need to come back and understand that the slogan of the people who were founders of this country as they fought that revolutionary war Their slogan was, no king but Jesus.
And we need to look at no savior but Jesus.
Don't look to people like Trump or Biden or DeSantis.
None of these people are going to be your savior.
And understand, many of them seek to be king.
And the greatest danger to us is this consolidation of power.
And that consolidation has moved.
From the state to the national government, from the national government to the global governance.
Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
It is, however, not nearly so abstract as a young gentleman supposes.
The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
All right.
Liberty.
It's your move.
of.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Alright, let's talk a little bit about politics and the people who are presenting themselves to us as, was it king or savior?
Which is it? Maybe both.
We have Nikki Haley saying, if I was president, China never would have sent a spy balloon.
Well, let me tell you what I think would have happened if she had been president.
I think she would have gotten things into such a hornet's nest that they wouldn't have sent a balloon.
They would have sent nuclear missiles.
That's what you're going to get with Nikki Haley.
You're going to get war with war.
She's all about one thing, war.
This lady is unbelievably dangerous.
Meanwhile, you've got a large white balloon spotted near Hawaii.
And they have been so successful in getting the public worked up about this that people were freaking out about that in Hawaii.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
And what else is ridiculous is, as The Guardian points out, we have a gerontocracy ruled by old people, the exceptionally old political class that governs the United States.
In the year of the octogenarian, American TV viewers can find Patrick Stewart, 82, boldly going into a new series of Star Trek, Picard.
80-year-old Harrison Ford, starring in two shows, plus a trailer for a fifth installment of Indiana Jones.
You got Joe Biden at 80, the oldest president in U.S. history.
Or you got Mitch McConnell, who is 81, yesterday.
So... You got Nikki Haley who, as Don Lemon was saying, was over the hill.
Because she's 51.
So no, she's past her prime.
You know, women, 20, 30, 40 years old.
What does he know about women?
He doesn't know anything about women.
He certainly didn't know anything about his female co-hosts who basically tried to get him fired, came really close to it.
It's good news because that means that nobody's going to continue.
Nobody will be watching CNN as long as...
He's there and people like him.
But he tried to sell the idea that Nikki Haley was too old.
Now, that's not her problem. She's got a lot of problems.
A lot of problems. She is a warmonger using identity politics to get elected.
And by the way, Nikki Haley came after...
I thought it was interesting that while Don Lemon is saying, you know, well, she's past her prime.
She's 51. While he's doing that, Nikki Haley is criticizing Bernie, saying that we need to have a competency test because these people are so old.
Bernie Sanders. Came out against her.
You know, Bernie Sanders, the guy they modeled the puppet on the Muppets after the angry old man up in the balcony.
I can't see that pup without thinking of Bernie Sanders.
He's not the model for them, but might as well have been.
But, yeah, so you've got Trump is 76 years old.
And, oh, by the way, you know what?
We're talking about Trump. I've got...
Geesebusters, thank you very much for the tip on Rumble.
Thank you. That's generous. I appreciate that.
He said, David, love the new commercials.
They're great. Can you do a few with Trump?
As a matter of fact, we haven't put the visuals together yet, but we do have a commercial for Trump.
He has something to say about this show, actually.
And... So that will be coming.
Not today. But that is in the works.
He's already there. But Trump had something to say about education.
You know, we just did the segment on education and on President's Day and how they have purged it and all.
Well, Trump has a solution.
to education.
You'll never guess what it is.
We'll end the leftist takeover of school discipline and juvenile justice.
Many of these carjackers and criminals are 13, 14, and 15 years old.
I will order the education and justice departments to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors.
So when troubled youth are out and troll, they're out on the streets and they're going wild, we will stop it.
The consequences are swift, certain, and strong, and they will know that.
He's starting to slur his speech a little bit.
Did you notice that? And of course, he is really sounding more and more all the time like the angry old man.
Get off my lawn! Get off my Capitol Hill lawn!
You know, that's... But, of course, that's exactly what we need, isn't it?
It's not enough that we have centralized education, corrupted it, and, of course, doing that, the means of corruption, was giving money to them, and then using that to control them.
Just as I talked about, this is being proposed by Republicans in Florida, DeSantis and others.
DeSantis hasn't said anything about the bill yet.
We'll see what he says. But in the name of helping homeschoolers, they want to give them money.
But then, of course, on the other side of that money, you're going to have a choice navigator.
That's what I say. We've got choice lanes, which is what the Tennessee governor calls the toll roads.
We should have choice IDs, choice navigators, A choice vaccine mandate.
All these cynical liars they are.
Anyway, no, you know, you do it, you corrupt these organizations by controlling them.
And that's why I said, all through 2020, as I was yelling and screaming about what Trump was doing with lockdown, oh boy, that I had so many people.
You don't know what's going on.
It's not Trump. It's those governors, those Democrat governors, not even Republican governors who did everything that Trump and Fauci wanted them to do.
It's those Democrat governors.
Well, they were all being paid by Trump.
And I used to say, well, you know, the buck doesn't just stop with the president.
But now the way we operate, it starts with the president.
He financially rewards anything that he wants to have happen.
And, of course, you've seen this over and over again with Biden and everybody else and DeSantis.
Everybody knows that if somebody's getting money from you, somebody's getting money from the federal government, somebody's getting money from the state government, and you want to get them to do something and you don't have the authority to order it, you say, well, I'm going to cut your money if you don't do this.
That's the way it's done. That's the way they get around all the constitutional prohibitions against what they're doing.
They give out money, which they just print, and then say, we're going to take that money away from you.
And so when you look at what has happened with education, that's the purpose of the Federal Department of Education, created by Jimmy Carter.
And it wasn't even two years old, and Ronald Reagan had a great statement About how it sought to overthrow the parents' role and that type of thing.
But it was very concerning, and we all knew it was a concern to consolidate the financing of education into Washington.
We knew that they would create a curriculum.
We knew that they would manipulate people with the money, using it to bribe and to blackmail.
And so Ronald Reagan said, that's going to be the number one thing I do, is get rid of it.
Yet, when he left, it was one and a half times the size.
So, now...
Trump decides that it's not enough that we consolidate financing of education, that we have the federal government decide the curriculum that's going to be taught to kids.
But now we should have the Department of Justice in there.
And we should federalize the discipline in the schools.
And just ask yourself...
What a harebrained, dangerous, authoritarian idea that is.
That was never necessary.
I don't know what schools... I didn't go to the same type of schools that Trump did.
Trump went to private schools, private military school, other things like that.
But in the run-of-the-mill government school that I attended, because homeschool was not an option at that time, The only person I knew, actually he's even a little bit older than me, was a speechwriter for Barry Goldwater, Carl Hess, one of the founders of the Libertarian Party.
His mother, when he was a kid, was always just one step ahead of Child Protective Services and the truancy officer.
She kept moving jurisdictions so she could keep her son.
Out of the government school.
He was the one who wrote the extremism and defense of liberty is no vice.
Moderation and pursuit of justice is no virtue.
He wrote that for Barry Goldwater.
Barry Goldwater called him his Shakespeare.
Where did he get that idea?
Well, he probably wouldn't have written that if he had been run through the education mill.
It would have taken him a while to get that programming removed.
But the kind of schools that we had when I was growing up, we didn't have shootings, even though we had guns brought and we had target shooting by students.
But we didn't have the kinds of school shootings that you have today.
Trump knows all that.
Trump knows, just like when he was saying, you've got to get the shots.
He knows that in his generation, there was no MMR vaccine.
And people were not dying from measles.
It truly was extremely, extremely rare if somebody died with complications from measles.
All of my generation when I was a child, all the parents were trying to get their kids to get measles at the earliest possible age and get it over with.
And so we all had measles and we all had natural immunity and it was the best thing that we could have.
We didn't have autism. So, now, what Trump wants to do is to federalize this.
Maybe we could have...
Kids are really bad.
Maybe we could have a public execution of them.
Who knows? Lala Harris is disappointed to learn that the president in hospice is Carter and not Joe.
This is from Babylon Bee.
She reportedly spent $200 on a flower arrangement for Biden's bedside.
She says she now has no use for it.
President Carter is 98 years old, which means that he's almost dead, she said.
She explained upon hearing the news that that is 18 years older than President Biden.
That is old! Oh, people die.
Yeah. Oh, die starts with the letter D. Biden is still alive.
Ha, ha, she said.
Well, again, Lala, and we'll be hearing from her in a second here.
Former White House doctor is equally surprised that Biden is still alive.
He says his medical was a cover-up, but I don't think they're doing too good a job of covering it up.
We all know exactly what is happening.
And finally, we've got Marjorie Taylor Greene calling for secession yet again.
And I just have to say that she trends in the right direction, but she always winds up in the wrong place.
As I pointed out yesterday, a long article, and if you didn't hear it yesterday, if you haven't seen it, you can find it at The New American.
It's an article about...
A bill that has been introduced in both the House and the Senate here in Tennessee calling for nullification.
That is the rightful response.
If you want to have a war, if you want to have a civil war, follow Marjorie Taylor Greene into secession.
That's not the right way to approach this.
You need to nullify it.
You nullify it, the rule of law is on our side.
And, you know, if you start saying, well, we're just going to leave the union and that type of thing, you know what's going to happen at that point.
They're going to portray you as the aggressor.
Nullification, and even, I didn't talk about it yesterday, the anti-commandeering laws, that has been supported multiple times by the Supreme Court.
You cannot have the federal government force any state officials to assist them in doing anything, especially if it's an unconstitutional law that they don't agree with.
And so the anti-commandeering aspect of it means that the federal government cannot rely on the local sheriff to help them if the local sheriff does not want to do so.
But beyond that, what Tennessee has done, which is an excellent idea, They went through and they set up a process for review at the state level.
And I've said this for the longest time.
We should not always send this to the judicial branch to look at the constitutionality of a law.
They have the authority. They have brains.
They can read. They've got the Constitution.
They need to be doing this at the state level.
States have powers that have not been delegated to the government.
And there are restrictions in the Bill of Rights as to specific restrictions about what the government, the federal government, cannot do.
And that means, broadly, everything that they haven't been given specifically.
So, in this Tennessee Bill...
They have said we will review any bureaucratic regulation, any federal court decision, any presidential executive order, any legislation coming from Congress as to whether or not it's going to be constitutional.
And we will stop that at the state level.
I really do hope that passes here in Tennessee.
But whether it does or not, it is, and there's a similar bill that has been introduced in Texas.
These bills are the template that you should be trying to get put into place in every state.
We need to resist them in every way that we possibly can, because they're coming after us in every way that they possibly can.
And again, state secession is not the way to go.
Anti-commandeering, nullification is the rightful remedy.
And you need to use your constitutional authority to do that.
Yes, this is a country that was founded on the rights of self-government and secession.
That's what the Declaration of Independence is about.
But way before you get to that level...
You need to try nullification.
If you don't have the guts to try nullification, you don't have the guts to succeed, lady.
So just understand that about Marjorie Taylor.
Great. She is, in my opinion, somebody who is angling for a position as vice president in the same way I think Carrie Lake is, in the same way that I think Nikki Haley ultimately is.
We'll be right back. Show, we've got a problem.
What, uh, who are you?
It's the new mug they're selling at thedavidknightshow.com, right?
So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right?
Because, basically, you can't hold coffee with your hands, right?
I'm a Itzcatelay, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm be ready for it, you dog-faced pony soldier.
They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world.
This could be bad for us.
Save the world? But we owe the world.
These people, they're supporting free speech with every mug they buy.
Come on. These people, as I tell you, will anyway.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
And it is microwavable and dishwasher safe.
Not the show, but the coffee mug here.
And it will actually hold all kinds of liquids.
Coffee is great, but you can put all kinds of things in it.
While we were talking about Lala Harris, let's talk about the brain-dead remnant of our society here that has made it its work to try to get rid of everything in our cultural society, not just the statues and the...
The markers to honor people that have done honorable things.
That doesn't mean that they're absolutely perfect.
It means that they did some things that are worthy of remembering.
Some good things that moved our society along in a positive way.
So it doesn't mean that they're perfect.
You can find something bad about anybody, but that's not these people who are pulling down everything.
everything.
That's not their motivation.
Their motivation is to uproot our society.
And so you see this happening everywhere in the large corporations, the institutions have all been taken over by these types of people.
Penguin Books is a good example of this.
And when I saw that they were changing the kids' stories from, I never read them, quite frankly.
I'm familiar vaguely with some of the movies.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they made Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory or something like that.
Again, I never paid much attention to the movie or to the book, never read it.
James and the Giant Peach and Matilda and some things like that.
It's And so the company that's publishing his stuff, Penguin Books, is going in and editing it because he made some fat jokes or something like that.
And when I saw that, I thought, has Penguin Books been taken over by Oswald Cobblepot from...
I mean, it sounds like the type of thing a Batman villain would do, right?
It's kind of stupid and silly.
The Batman from the 60s that I remember.
Kind of stupid and silly, you know.
I've got the perfect crime here.
I'll go in and mess with their literature here.
And so, with that in mind, the National Review...
Had some interesting ways of how they could continue this trend with some other classics.
Again, the Penguin Books wants to remove any language related to weight, mental health, violence, gender, race.
All that has been cut and rewritten.
The work is being done in conjunction with a group that calls itself Inclusive Minds.
Don't you love how these people call themselves inclusive and yet they seek to exclude everything that they don't like in any way possible?
They say they're all about diversity when they demand conformity.
All the rest of this stuff.
Anyway, Inclusive Minds describes itself as a collective for people who are passionate about inclusion and accessibility in children's literature.
This is why they're coming in with clippers and cutting stuff out and pasting things back in.
So National Review had fun with this.
They said, well, let's think about how we could apply these same ideas and tactics to other classic literature, like Pride and Prejudice, for example, and how Darcy's impression of Elizabeth would change in Chapter 6.
And so they say in the original, it says, Mr. Darcy, Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty.
Oh, though they would change it to Mr.
Darcy scarcely allowed her to be nice.
He had looked at her without admiration.
No, you would change that to he looked at her without respectability at the ball.
And when they next met, he looked at her only to criticize.
No, you'd have to change that to he looked at her only to with the best of intentions.
But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face.
No, you'd have to say he noticed nothing about her face.
Then he began to find that it was rendered uncommonly intelligent.
No, you'd have to just say above average.
By the beautiful expression of her dark eyes.
No, nondescript, nondescript.
To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying, though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form.
We don't want to talk about her form.
Just say, he had detected some things about her.
He was, quote, forced to acknowledge her figure.
No, he had to acknowledge her personality.
We don't want to talk about the lack of perfect symmetry, but he did like her figure.
No, he noticed some things about her.
He liked her personality. In spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of a fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness.
Of this, she was perfectly unaware.
To her, he was the only man, strike that, the only person, who made himself agreeable nowhere and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.
Strike that, available to dance with.
And then, of course, you would have to go to Moby Dick, which I imagine these people who are going back to edit the classics, that would be number one on their list.
I mean, we're talking about the great white male, right?
Moby Dick. And so you'd have to get rid of all references to the whiteness of the whale.
What the white whale was to Ahab, strike that, make it pale.
It even rhymes. The pale whale had been hinted at.
What at times he was to me as yet remains unsaid.
Aside from those more obvious considerations touching Moby Dick, no, the marine mammal, which could not but occasionally awaken in any man, no, change that to woman or person of any gender's soul.
No, change the soul to feelings.
You get the idea. It can go on and on.
They have fun with Moby Dick.
They have fun with Richard III. The royal throne of kings, strike that, monarchs.
That's too sexist, right?
This sceptered isle, this earth of majesty, this seat of Mars.
No, you'd have to ask bad Venus, right, as well, for equality.
On and on. But that is not...
That is not unusual.
I mean, these people have come after Tolkien and everyone else, and so National Review also says, well, when are they going to come after P.G. Wodehouse?
Maybe you don't know who P.G. Wodehouse is, but Jeeves and Worcester, you know, has been done in many different ways.
There was with John Gielgud and...
Dudley Moore. Arthur was a take on Jeeves and Wooster.
But it has been done in many different ways.
And it's one of the audiobooks that we used to enjoy listening to as family.
I had a whole series that we listened to.
My sons know it inside and out, just like they do the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I still listen to it sometimes.
Tell you something about our family.
Anyway. So to give you an idea of one of the things that was removed from Dahl's work, Roald Dahl, Matilda, she wore heavy makeup and had one of those unfortunate bulging figures where the flesh appears to be strapped in all around the body to prevent it from falling out.
That's what he had to say. They said, well, you know, P.G. Wodehouse does much better insults than that.
For example, he was a tubby little chap who looked as if he'd been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say when.
The lunches of 57 years had caused his chest to slip down to the mezzanine floor.
But he also wrote about people who just looked peculiar.
His chin gave up the struggle about halfway down, and he didn't appear to have any eyelashes.
A mild, furtive, sheepish sort of blighter, in short.
He talks about Gussie Finknottle, one of his favorite characters.
He says, many an experienced undertaker would have been deceived by his appearance and would have started embalming on sight.
He looked like a vulture dissatisfied with its breakfast corpse.
And another one, where Ian insults somebody's intelligence.
He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more.
So when is Penguin Books going to come after that?
But when you look at their list that they want to go after...
Shakespeare, Orwell, Tolkien, of course, Brave New World.
And as many people have pointed out, these things that they say are key texts for white supremacists, they said, no, actually, these are anti-authoritarian texts, right?
You want to purge somebody who is pointing out this science fiction dystopia?
Well, maybe if you are anti-antitotalitarian, Those two negatives cancel out and you're just totalitarian.
You want to purge the language?
Because you like this kind of society that's being criticized by Orwell in 1984.
They said several of the UK's most respected TV shows, movies, and works of literature have been included in a list of works as potentially encouraging far-right sympathies.
Oh. It's a government-led program called PREVENT, a counter-terrorism program.
You know, one thing I did not see on this list, maybe it just wasn't reported, was Fahrenheit 451.
I mean, Fahrenheit 451 was all about that.
We don't want people getting these ideas.
We don't want them dissatisfied with our authoritarian society here, our totalitarian society.
And so they have put on the list as warning signs that could fuel extremism.
The entire works of William Shakespeare.
Chaucer. I can understand why they wouldn't like Chaucer.
You know, Chaucer, famous for the Canterbury Tales.
That is about people traveling.
They don't want anybody traveling.
You know, you shouldn't do a pilgrimage even to the other side of your 15-minute city.
Um, Milton.
Well, you know, he talked about Paradise Lost.
So, uh, I guess we don't want to talk about that because Orwell and Huxley, who's also on the list, uh, show how Paradise can be stolen.
Edmund Burke, a conservative.
Rudyard Kipling, who wrote stories about the British Empire, the white man's burden, and how even my favorite example of his stuff was The Man Who Would Be King.
Great metaphor for the British Empire.
It begins with two rascals and scoundrels who decide they're going to go in and exploit this area and rip these people off seven ways to Sunday.
And they get in there, and once they get in power, they start getting these noble ideas of doing good for the people.
And that's when the people turn on them.
That was his idea. That's how he saw the British Empire.
Of course, I can understand that they do not want people laughing at their politicians.
And of course... Yes, Minister does invite ridicule of politicians.
The thick of it, which I'm not familiar with, the 1955 epic war film, The Dam Busters.
Did you ever see that? Did we ever show that to you?
We had that film in our libraries at the video stores.
I really enjoyed that film.
It was a true story about how the British Army needed to take out this industrial area in World War II, this industrial area in Germany, the manufacturing base there, And they decided the most effective way to do it would be to bust a dam.
It might be providing the hydroelectric power for it, but it would also flood that area.
But how to do it?
They had tried to bomb it and they did not have bombs.
Thanks for pulling that up.
They did not have bombs that had the kind of accuracy that they needed.
Furthermore, the water pressure and other things like that would kind of shield the dam from a bomb that didn't have a direct hit on the dam.
And so what the movie is about is an ingenious idea to blow the dam up.
And so the idea was that they would drop this round bomb that would skip across the water like a stone until it got to the wall.
It would hit the wall and then roll down the wall and right up against the wall.
It's rolling down and it explodes after it gets to a certain depth.
and destroys the dam that way because then it magnified the hydraulic pressure.
It was right up against the wall and they had to do it by skipping it across, hitting the wall, comes down, blows up, takes out the dam, and it actually worked.
And so the film is...
A great idea of the ingenuity and, of course, the heroism of the people who had to carry this thing out, how they practice it and all the rest of the stuff.
Somehow, this 1955 war film, The Dam Busters, is hated by these authoritarian totalitarianists.
Shakespeare, possible red flags of extremism, they said.
Works of fiction were key texts for white nationalists and supremacists.
And of course, they also include Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings.
These are the people who identify with Sour Man and Sauron, right?
And the orcs.
You want to get rid of Tolkien.
A number of books were singled out, the possession or reading of which could point to severe wrong think and therefore potential radicalization.
It seems that the organization prevent...
As a research information and communications unit, as Spectator in the UK pointed out, said they're so far off track that it believes that books that identify the problem, as Orwell did, are part of the problem.
No, it's just that these people are anti-totalitarian.
They are totalitarians.
One of the ones that they took out was House of Cards, for example.
And of course, we all know that House of Cards is not right-wing politics.
This is what they're saying, right-wing, right?
These things could make somebody become a right-winger.
Andrew Davies, who was a screenwriter for House of Cards, says this almost seems like a joke.
Except these people don't make jokes, and they censor comedians as well.
They hate ridicule because, as Saul Alinsky said in one of his rules, it is the most powerful weapon.
So they hate sarcasm, they hate ridicule, they hate jokes.
But they are jokes. It seems like a joke.
He said, House of Cards is actually a satirical view of right-wing politics.
This list includes more or less the entire classical canon of literature and some of the very best British television programs ever made.
This is an organization that is getting paid by the British conservative government.
What do the conservatives in Britain want to conserve?
They didn't want to conserve Shakespeare.
I mean, this is all, again, a radical move to uproot our society in every way possible.
And to dumb us down into this Mao type of environment, we're living in micro-apartments and all wearing pajamas like they did under Mao.
49 million pounds a year given to this organization by the British conservatives.
And they said it applied a double standard.
You're focusing too much on the far right, and you're not focusing enough on Islamicists.
And so the home office spokesman who, you know, these people, the British conservatives who are paying 49 million pounds for these people, the home secretary made it clear that Prevent will now ensure that it focuses on the key threat of Islamist terrorists as well.
So rather than having free speech, Rather than letting people read what they want to, no, they will equally censor the Islamicists as well.
They'll come after their culture as well.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman said, Prevent has shown cultural timidity and an institutional hesitancy to tackle Islamism for fear of the charge of Islamophobia.
Prevent's focus must be solely on security, not on political correctness.
Yes, equality and slavery.
Equality and censorship.
This is what the conservatives in the UK are offering you.
You know, quite frankly, when we look at some of these schemes coming out, as I mentioned it, you know, I am not in favor of drug prohibition.
I'm not in favor of drugs.
These are not problems that can be solved with government issues.
Prohibition and government censorship.
Fifty years has shown us that.
If we didn't learn it in ten years of alcohol prohibition, we now should have learned it after fifty years of drug prohibition that it doesn't work.
We need to have some solutions to drug addiction.
It's become a big problem in our society.
But the solution is spiritual.
It's not law enforcement.
They don't have the tools to deal with this.
We have weapons that are mighty.
They don't. They can't deal with it.
All it does is corrupt our society.
And so when you look at things that are being floated out there by Josh Hawley and by other people to say, we don't like pornography that's rampant on the Internet and we don't like it being shown to kids, take a look at what's being done in your government-funded schools, first of all.
Cast out the log that is in your own school before you start coming after the speck that's on the Internet.
You're running these institutions.
If you can't even clean up your own house, what are you going to do to clean up the Internet?
Oh, we're going to restrict things now on the Internet based on your ID. You're going to have to produce an ID. You know where that leads, don't you?
That's not a solution. That's the moving of the Overton window to another area.
Just as we were talking about earlier, as Travis was saying, this whole idea that they're going to grant us permission to do this or that.
You know, it's like a driver's license.
Well, we're going to give you a pornography license.
But we have to have your identification before you can use the internet.
There's one of the things I have a problem with Jordan Peterson.
He's very angry at his critics who can criticize him anonymously.
Look, I get it.
I don't like anonymous trolls either.
You know, they don't have any skin in the game.
And so they can sit over there on the sidelines and throw ad hominem attacks at you.
But look, it's not a solution to say we've got to get rid of anonymity on the internet.
And that's not a solution to pornography either.
You know, you can't solve a spiritual issue by putting out a government ID program.
How absurd that is.
These people offering this stuff ought to be laughed off the stage by fellow conservatives.
So again, even the Lord of the Rings is part of a UK counter-terrorism.
I actually have a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien up if you want to read that.
Yeah, good. Okay, he says, J.R.R. Tolkien, I look east, west, north, south.
I do not see Sauron, but I see that Saruman has many descendants.
We hobbits have against them no magic weapons.
Yet, my gentle hobbits, I give you this toast.
To the hobbits, may they outlast the Saramans and see spring again in the trees.
Yeah, that is such a great analogy, the Lord of the Rings.
Here we are, as I mentioned last week, Eric Schmidt and other people have put together a company to manipulate us.
Named it after the class of wizards that J.R.L. Tolkien had.
I forget the name of it.
But, you know, in his mythology, you know, the wizards like Saruman.
It was the Maiar. What's that?
Saruman and Gandalf are Maiar, I believe.
I thought it was a different word.
It was Palantir, of course.
Yeah, Palantir is that other data mining company named it after that.
But they were basically kind of these angelic beings below and inferior to God who came to Earth to intervene in a positive way in the affairs of man.
And of course, our man goes to the dark side.
So that was in his mythology.
And that's what Eric Schmidt Renamed his organization, or named his organization, to bring artificial intelligence and silicon modeling to weapons of mass destruction being controlled by artificial intelligence.
Yeah, that's why I spent some time on Bing chat last week.
You really want... Something like that.
Running autonomous killing machines.
But again, you know, Huxley, Orwell, Tolkien, all of them being attacked in the UK because this is about taking away the foundations of our society.
The ADL, meanwhile, the Anti-Defamation League...
One of the most racist, hateful organizations thriving on labeling other people as racist and hateful.
They have now come up just like the Southern Poverty Law Center.
They now have advocated deplatforming at the website level.
Think about all the many different ways that they've talked about censorship.
Kick us off of social media.
Kick us off of the digital public square.
Then the next thing is we want to come for people at the website level.
Take out entire websites.
And you've got Microsoft, meanwhile, with their CCPA, the Chinese Communist Party of America.
No, actually it stands for The Coalition for Content Providence and Authentication.
Providence meaning who created this, and then authentication meaning we're going to shut this down if we don't like who created this.
And so Microsoft put together a coalition of some of these fake establishment media companies like the BBC, the New York Times, and then they will identify the people that they don't like and the information that they don't like, and then they will hand this off to this tech We're good to go.
A text document, something you've written, or whether it is a meme, or whether it is audio, or whether it is audio and video.
And using these software creation companies and the CPU companies, they will attach an identifier there, identifying David Knight, for example, and then making sure that David Knight can't upload that anywhere.
After the ADL gets its wish to shut down the DavidKnightShow.com.
This is the way this thing is going to roll out.
And in case you don't understand how serious this is, the National Science Foundation has now identified a serious threat.
They're going to spend millions of dollars combating, wait for it, misinformation.
They say this is a new phenomenon with a potential for vast harm.
Let me tell you what the new phenomenon is.
The new phenomenon is that we've got a government that is prohibited from censorship now using these bureaucracies as well as corporations and non-governmental organizations using that to do censorship.
They are the threat.
They are the serious threat.
Nearly 40 million dollars Has been granted to misinformation-related projects since the start of the Biden administration.
Just like we see this Prevent thing in the UK. 49 million pounds.
Here, we've got a 40 million.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
And that's these people just getting warmed up.
They're just getting started on this.
On Rumble, the original Karen says, My David Knight mug just arrived in the mail.
Fast shipping. Love it.
Thanks for the stickers and the extra pen too.
Well, I'm glad you like it. That's great.
I appreciate the support, folks, and the products that you buy at the place.
Also, we do appreciate your voluntary support.
And I'll just say before, I've got more to say here before we run out of time, but since I stopped with this.
We are now up to just under 75%.
So I appreciate on the gas gauge.
So I appreciate the support that everybody's given us.
Those donations are really key.
And this is a voluntarily supported show.
And we really do appreciate how you have stood by us.
It truly is amazing to see how this has gone forever.
Now two years and a little bit longer than that.
So thank you very much for your support.
We have more information coming out from Twitter about more senators demanding censorship of people that they don't like.
And as Matt Taibbi points out, everybody talked about Trump saying that he wanted to censor one individual.
Yes, it was reprehensible.
But you've got Angus King, a senator, who would submit had more than 300 Twitter accounts that he wanted to shut down, including Zero Hedge.
He reported the accounts as suspicious for posting content like, quote, I'm being followed by rival Eric Brakey, or mentioning immigration, or saying, Rand Paul visit, excitement.
And so, because of that, he copies that and sends it to the deputized state at Twitter and says, get rid of this.
So, as Matt Taibbi says, look, if a president freaking out about one tweet or one tweeter is news, surely a senator thinking on over 300 of his constituents should be a story.
But the mainstream media has completely ignored that just like they ignored the Adam Schiff stories about censorship and all the rest of this.
It truly is amazing to see where we are at this point in time and it is truly amazing to see how this is all happening Publicly and out in the open without anybody pushing back on it.
We are almost out of time.
But before we go, I think I've got time to play one clip for you.
And that would be this information...
About what vaccines have been doing to kids.
This is Jeffrey Jackson, who has been on this beat for a very long time.
Excellent reporter, working with Del Bigtree.
Listen to what he breaks down. We're getting these milquetoast studies.
They're whitewashing the studies.
They're excluding kids, less than two well-child visits.
But, as it turns out, other people have.
Independent doctors, independent scientists, pediatricians are doing the studies.
And this is what we found.
That same year, 2017, we have Anthony Mawson has done this study.
It was a pilot comparative study of the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated 6 to 12-year-old children.
So these were about over 600 homeschool kids.
They asked their parents, It's a complete anonymous questionnaire.
And they looked at the questions, pregnancy-related factors, birth history, vaccination schedule, physician diagnosis of illnesses, and so on and so forth.
And this is what they found.
This is their results.
Vaccinated children were significantly...
Yeah, let's freeze it right there because we're going to run out of time.
I want you to hear this. I'll just summarize it.
Allergic rhinitis.
Vaccinated, 10.4%.
Unvaccinated, 0.4%.
Other allergies, 22.2% for the vaccinated.
For the unvaccinated, 6.9.
Three times. Eczema, 9.5% versus 3.6.
Again, about three times.
By the way, when you look at allergic rhinitis, that is about 21 times.
Learning disabilities, ADHD or ASD, 10% versus 3%.
Any chronic illness, 44% versus 25%.
This was done in 2017.
This is before the COVID-9-11 warp speed vaccines.
This is your run of the mill stuff.
That has been there for a long time, giving kids autism.
This is the stuff that Rand Paul lectured, pointed an angry finger at Fauci and said, you're making these people vaccine hesitant.
Well, you better be vaccine hesitant.
The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
