As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 23rd of February, year of our Lord, 2023.
Day 1078 of the emergency, we have a new Biden executive order.
This is one that is going to demand that artificial intelligence be weaponized as an act of propaganda.
As, you know, I've been calling a chat GPT, chat LGBT, because that's what it is.
Well, he's going to make that an executive order.
And there's a whole branch of research behind that to get artificial intelligence to lie to you.
We're also going to talk about biopsy burgers.
We touched on it yesterday, but we'll talk a little bit more about the lab meat.
Are you going to be getting a tumor T-bone?
We'll talk about why that is a connection.
And of course, another Clinton suicide.
We're going to start with that.
And today coming up, we'll have an interview in the third hour.
Our guest will be a Canadian doctor.
In that hotbed of tyranny, Alberta, Canada, where they're coming after him because he pointed out connections between vaccines and doctors dying, especially cancer.
That's his specialty. And, of course, Tony Arterburn will be joining us as well.
Well, let's begin with another Clinton suicide.
How many of these are there? I've just lost count of them, quite frankly.
This one appears to be a...
Vince Foster case without the gun.
Don't even bother to put the gun there anymore.
This is very interesting because this happened back in May.
And this has just come out.
This is a guy's name is Mark Middleton.
He was at the Clinton White House, a special advisor.
And he signed in Jeffrey Epstein seven out of the 17 times.
17 times that Epstein visited the White House while Bill Clinton was there.
I just imagine anybody taking the White House after the Clintons have been there.
Need to call in some kind of a hazmat team to sanitize it.
That's about 41% of the time he signed him in.
He was found in May.
Hanging from a tree. Shot dead in the chest in Perryville, Arkansas, according to the sheriff's report.
The sheriff has just released the investigation results.
The family wanted to keep all the details quiet, especially the pictures.
The judge has now released this information.
This is why this is going public now, after this happened in May.
The judge has now released the information, except not the pictures.
And the sheriff's office has ruled that he died by suicide.
There's no gun.
He was shot in the chest, hanging from a tree.
Apparently, he hung himself, shot himself in the chest, and then disposed of the weapon, apparently.
It's Foster style.
Sheriff's deputy Jeremy Lawson described the scene where Middleton and his black BMW were found.
Searched the vehicle, found no weapon.
They did find some boxes of buckshot in a gun case.
Okay, so was he shot in the chest with buckshots?
They don't say. I mean, it's pretty hard to shoot yourself in the chest with a shotgun, unless you've got really long arms.
But it just keeps going.
I mean, the one before that that I remember was in 2021, the reporter, Christopher Sine, who broke the story about Bill Clinton.
Meeting Loretta Lynch on the tarmac during that campaign.
He committed suicide as well.
It just seems to never stop with the Clintons, and they don't even try to bother to make it plausible anymore.
We have...
Biden's got an enemies list as well, you know.
And they're not really too secretive about it.
The Department of Justice has now charged eight more pro-lifers with violating the FACE Act.
And we all know how they have weaponized and politicized this very bad law.
It was Ulysses Grant who said the best way to get rid of a bad law is to rigorously enforce it.
And he tried his best to do that, I think.
One of the most corrupt regimes until modern times, the Grant regime.
But I think it's also another way that you can get rid of a bad law, perhaps, would be if you not only rigorously enforce it, But you politically enforce it.
And you have a highly politicized Department of Justice.
Would that be a possibility? You think that Republicans would ever get rid of the FACE Act or get rid of Merrick Garland?
Evidently not. You know, a few of them will say something about it here and there to throw red meat to their base, but they won't really do anything about it.
Back in 2020 is where these cases go.
So think about this. This is three years.
That it's been since these events happened.
And now the politicized Department of Justice decides they're going to do something about it.
They have charged 26 pro-life activists with FACE Act violations in 2022 alone.
But of course, they have not charged a single organization or individual with all the vandalism and arson that has been committed against pro-life counseling clinics.
As a matter of fact, if you remember, it's been a couple of months now, but I talked about one individual who's, I think he was a pastor.
His pro-life clinic was, there was arson there and he contacted the FBI and they kind of, yeah, okay, we're on it.
Nothing ever happens, and he had some information.
He was going to the press with it, and the only thing that the FBI did was to confiscate that.
But they're not even interested in arson.
And as one individual said, this is a Catholic vote, President Brian Birch.
He said, the shame is that they have no interest in equally pursuing pro-abortion domestic criminals and arsonists that have vandalized, desecrated hundreds of churches, pregnancy care centers.
The Department of Justice should not play favorites when enforcing the law.
Yet that seems to be the new policy.
Once again, when it comes to abortion, all pretense of equal justice is abandoned.
They have absolutely no shame in that.
As we look at the takedown of our societies, we talk about Nikki Haley coming after the Confederate statues.
And so there was an article on establishment media yesterday.
Drudge picked it up. I forget if it's Politico or Daily Beast or something like that.
That's where Drudge gets his news now.
But it's interesting to see what they're focusing on.
And what they did was they did an article going back to 2010 when Nikki Haley was running for lieutenant governor in South Carolina.
They said, she said, I don't want to, she supported, went to rallies where she supported Confederate history and Confederate flag and all the rest of the stuff.
And then when she becomes governor, she flips the other direction.
She's just a demagogue, like all the rest of these politicians.
They have no principles. They have positions that are constantly shifting so they can get the positions that they want.
And so when you look at this, and we've talked about this many times, I'm not going to get into what the Civil War was about.
I'm not going to get into the slavery issue of reparations or how universal this has been throughout mankind's history and how it is happening today, and they don't pay any attention to that.
It's happening in Africa today.
They don't care about that. And they don't care about the fact that we're going into slavery.
You know, you've got Trump comes along.
It's kind of like you're standing in a trough.
And Trump comes along and he pours wet cement over your feet.
And you just stand there and wave the flag and cheer him, right?
And now this wet cement is hardening.
Democrats are coming along and they're going to dump you into the river like they do a statue from history.
And in the UK, Scotland Yard has a secret list of suspect statues, things that have to go.
Isn't that interesting? That's where Scotland Yard is now.
Where's Sherlock Holmes when we need him?
Or even Inspector Lestrade.
I mean, I would go with a bumbling guy trying to do his job rather than...
This kind of Orwellian police state.
Oh, they tear down Sherlock Holmes statues.
That's right. The only reason they like it is because they've only seen the show Sherlock.
They actually read the books.
There's some questionable language in there.
That's right. Oh yeah, he's too much of, you know, patriarchy.
Sure. It's, yeah, I guess they'll get rid of the Baker Street station where they had, I don't know if they still have it now, I haven't been there for a while, where they got Sherlock Holmes' profile there and tile and things like that.
But, yeah, so now Scotland Yard has statues as suspects because they're easier to catch.
They can't run too fast.
And, you know, when you're not very good at actually addressing crime, let's focus on the statues.
And so what are they focusing on?
Well, the Cenotaph, which is a monument, primarily I think it was World War I, but it's become kind of the war memorial for the British people.
I remember a couple of years ago, you know, Ken Block, who just died in a snowmobile accident.
He had a souped-up 64, 65 Mustang or something like that.
He was doing all these drifting things.
He was an amazing driver with the cameras all around.
He would spin this thing and going through parking lots and everything, he'd bring it right up to the edge of a drop-off.
I mean, just inches of it.
And so they let him loose in different cities.
He went through Dubai and other places.
When he went to London, they got very upset because he was doing donuts around the cenotaph.
And people said, that's not, you know, you should be respecting that.
That's a memorial to our war dead.
So they're very upset about that.
But now, that is one of the suspects that need to go.
The other suspect statues that need to go, some of them, Winston Churchill, Oliver Cromwell, And Horatio Nelson, Lord Nelson, who stands atop the giant tower on Trafalgar Square.
It's amazing what they're doing.
They're destroying their history, destroying their culture.
I think it's sometimes easier for people to see it when it's happening in the UK. Because when it's here, there's been so much muddying in the water about the Civil War from Reconstruction on.
It's difficult for people to see what's going on.
But as we were talking the other day, Travis correctly pointed out, the South was completely...
If you think that slavery built this country, the area that profited from slavery, the few people got extremely rich off of it, By the way, that was kind of gone with the wind.
Maybe you should go back and watch that, right?
Because that economy, that wealth was completely wiped out.
And that area became the poorest area of the country for many, many generations.
It wasn't until past the, you know, around the time of Reagan that you started to have this massive migration back to what they call the Sun Belt and to the South because of air conditioning, among other things.
But, no, the wealth of the U.S. was built not on slavery.
It was built on technology.
And that all happened after the Civil War.
The antebellum South was wiped out along with all the wealth involved with it.
There's so many different aspects, as I've said many times, though.
The important thing to take away from that history is the fourth turning, because we're in one of those times right now.
And the fact that it was complete restructuring of society.
From a decentralized agrarian society to centralized nation states where the manufacturing interests were in charge.
And it was happening not just in the United States.
It happened at exactly the same time with a civil war as well in Italy and other places.
You know, we had the rise of the nation state in Germany, all these different areas like Prussia and others, you know, to create the nation state of Germany.
But they are destroying their culture, and it is deliberate, and they have the government that is involved with it.
But how do we get here?
Well, you know, we get here, as I keep pointing out, through education or through miseducation, which sometimes you just abbreviate to MS, as in a Master's of Science degree.
Here's this teacher lecturing parents on why she knows better than they do.
I have a master's degree because when I got certified, I was told I had to have a master's degree to be an Arizona certified teacher.
We all have advanced degrees.
What do the parents have?
Are we vetting the backgrounds of our parents?
Are we allowing the parents to choose the curriculum and the books that our children are going to read?
I think that it's a mistake.
I'm just speaking from the heart.
The one line that I love is, we must remember that the purpose of public education is not to teach only what parents want their children to be taught.
It is to teach them what society needs them to be taught.
We own your kids. We own your kids.
Hey lady, guess what?
A master's degree doesn't mean you are our master.
It means that you sat through a bunch of nonsense classes.
As a matter of fact, and I'm not disrespecting the master's degree, because Karen worked very hard for hers, and she got a master's degree when she was teaching in public schools, but she rejected the system of the public school.
And we homeschooled our kids.
But what I remember from her getting her master's degree, the only thing I remember, because it was such a shock to me when she brought home B.F. Skinner's book, Beyond Freedom and Dignity, and said, yeah, they're teaching us this.
I said, well, it's about time somebody complained about the way students are treated in school.
They have taken away our freedom and our dignity.
No, no, no, you don't understand.
He wants to take it away from people.
He wants to treat people like animals.
It's like, what? Let me have that book.
It's been one of these things that's bothered me ever since.
So, the bottom line is, and when we go back to this, when we go back to the pandemic, And they were talking about people's susceptibility to the vaccine messaging.
And that wasn't presented that way by the news.
The news was saying, see, look, the more you're educated, the more likely you are to accept the vaccine.
And you know why that is? It's because of what she was selling you there.
I have power. I have authority.
I am the expert.
You need to listen to me. And that's what these people have done for the most part.
You know, when you go through, you know, K-12 and you go through undergrad and graduate school and you get your degree, the interesting thing about it was that the less education people had, the less susceptible they were to this expert stuff.
And it kept, and it went up direct proportion to the amount of quote-unquote education that they'd had.
Until you got to the PhD students.
And then all of a sudden it dropped back down to the people who had high school degrees.
It dropped back down to normal.
Because the PhD, many of the PhD candidates have to do their doctoral thesis by challenging the established conventional wisdom.
But you don't do that, you know, as you're going through at the bachelor's degree level, at the master's degree.
You don't do that. You just accept it.
And you become more and more confident in it, and then when you get to PhD level, you start to realize how much you don't know.
The way education should work is that the more you get of it, the more you realize you don't know.
I remember I was probably about 13.
We were having a sleepover with some of our friends.
And I mean, one of the guys was talking.
And I asked him, it's like, so what percentage of everything do you think you know?
Because he was really full of himself.
And he was like, I don't know, probably about 70, 80% of everything there is.
I was like, are you kidding me?
Everything, everything, everything.
And this was when you're like in middle school, right?
He hasn't even gotten to college yet.
He maintained that kind of arrogance.
Yeah, yeah, that's amazing.
Well, you know, here's the thing.
Here's what this lady doesn't know.
She doesn't know your child.
You know your child better than she does.
Your child is going to be one of 30 kids, might be with her depending on grade level, you know, all day for one year, but still one of 30 kids or something.
Or it might be a situation where your kid is one of 30 kids and one of six or seven classes she teaches that day.
The Arizona legislature is considering a bill, this is what she's upset about, which would allow parents to have the ability to review books and material used in the schools for 120 days before they're available to students and to allow them to request the removal of books that are, quote, lewd or sexual in nature.
To promote gender fluidity or gender pronouns or to groom children into normalizing pedophilia, unquote.
So you don't need a college degree.
What you need is moral and ethical values.
This is why I say we keep coming back to what education is.
Education is not about the filling of a bucket.
It's about the lighting of a fire.
And it is not about training people in terms of being able to read or to do math, which the government schools are failing at, as I pointed out.
Over 50 of them.
There's zero students in the entire school that are proficient in math at their grade level.
And you've got 33 schools.
This is out of Illinois where they spend a lot of money on kids per capita.
33 schools where there's zero students proficient in reading at grade level.
But it's not even about that.
It's not about why Johnny can't read or Johnny can't do math.
It's the deliberate dumbing down.
But it's always been. Education has always been about morals and about education.
And if you're so deficient in morals and education that you get angry about this and say, I have a master's degree.
And so because I've got a master's degree, I can show dirty pictures to kindergarten kids, okay?
And you don't have anything to say about it because you're just their parents.
That's where we are in the schools.
That's why the schools need to be shut down.
We've got to stop having these people hold a gun to our head so we can pay people like her to put out their filth to kids.
Sexual and lewd content, pornographic content.
You don't know the difference between that?
You don't know anything, lady.
It's absolutely amazing to me.
You don't need to have a college degree.
As a matter of fact, a college degree can get in the way of you having a moral clue as to what's going on.
There was a Babylon B headline that says, Miracle!
Student graduates from Christian seminary and remains a Christian.
That's basically where we are with most of the moral education in our schools.
Oklahoma announced a rule February the 10th that would allow the state to strip schools of certification.
If they make pornographic materials or sexualized content available in school libraries.
Here's an idea. Don't just take the certification of the school.
Take the master's degree of somebody like that.
It's like, hey lady, you got a piece of paper, but it's not worth any more than what the Wizard of Oz was handing out to the scarecrow at the end of the movie.
Okay, we'll take that back right now.
Get on your balloon, but watch out for jets.
Biden, meanwhile, we want parents removed from children, and Biden wants to remove First Amendment religious liberty from students in college.
And so this is a Trump-era policy.
That prohibited universities from receiving federal funding if they restricted religious student group activity.
So if you're going to discriminate against students and say, you can't use any of the buildings on campus for after-hours meetings because you're religious and we don't like your religion.
We got our own religion. It's called secular humanism.
We don't like that. So if you're going to do that, in the Trump era, they said, well...
We're going to prohibit that and we are going to take funding away from you if you do that.
You see, Trump does understand the power of the purse.
That's what I was saying to all these people cheering Trump on throughout 2020.
It's not Trump, it's the bad Democrat governors.
I said, the bad Democrat governors are being given tens of billions of dollars each.
Look at Gavin Newsom.
He bailed out California.
Gavin Newsom in California, now that the money is getting thin, the pandemic money, he's got a massive deficit again.
But he had this huge surplus.
Why? Because Trump gave him so much money.
And I said, if he doesn't like what the Democratic governors are doing, you should cut their funding because he didn't like what was being done with the, or somebody in his administration didn't like the fact they were restricting religious student group activity.
So he said, if you do that, he signed an executive order in 2019 that proposed to prevent universities from censoring the speech of religious students on campus.
Now, the Department of Education doesn't like that.
Because the Department of Education was created to create the curriculum and the ideas that were going to be taught to people and to do it by funding.
And so the department believes, I said, it's not necessary to order, it's not necessary in order to protect the First Amendment right to free speech and free exercise of religion, given that there are existing legal protections.
No, you see, if you work for the federal government, even though there's no authority for your organization to exist under the Constitution, you still swore to uphold the Constitution.
And the point is that you are giving money to people who violate our rights, just like Trump gave money to people who violated our rights, Republican and Democrat governors, throughout the pandemic.
And so Biden wants to continue to give money to universities who violate the rights of students.
It's just that simple.
So I said, well, you know, there's existing legal protections.
That's what, hey, that's what the First Amendment is.
And your job is to abide by the First Amendment.
And your job as government is to protect our God-given rights.
That's why the government was created.
That's our founding charter, the Declaration of Independence.
We create governments to protect our God-given rights.
That's your job. Oh, we don't want to do that.
It's caused confusion about school's non-discrimination requirement.
Absolutely amazing. You know, yesterday at the end of the show, Harps left a tip on Rumble in a comment.
He said, a new study shows that parents don't enjoy playing with their kids.
Because I talked about this yesterday.
You know, Jane Fonda just said, yeah, I was a terrible parent.
If I had anything, my biggest regret in life here at 85 and I've just had a bout with cancer as well.
So I'm looking at the end of life.
I'm not afraid of death.
I'm not afraid of God.
She didn't say she's not afraid of God, but she's not afraid of God.
And answering to God.
But she said, my big regret is that I was a bad parent.
And I said, well, you know, it's just the time that you spend with her.
And, you know, her causes...
We're where she spent her time.
And I think we can all be guilty of that.
I mean, I spent a lot of time on work.
I wish I had spent more time with my kids.
But nevertheless, she says, well, I want to rectify this now.
I'm going to spend more time with them. She understands it's the time.
And so that was what Harps was writing about, I think, when I was talking about that.
Kids are immersed in playing video games or are on their phones.
So how can parents play with them?
Well, I think, first of all, you have to take control of the phones.
You have to set up some time on that.
If that's become an obsessive thing, anything like that.
You have to... Take that away.
And I think the best way to do it, you don't want to just take something away.
You want to give them something to replace it.
And so you want to give them something like outdoor time or physical activity.
Try to find something that they're going to enjoy where they're going to get out and they're going to get sunshine and vitamin D and fresh air and oxygen and even CO2. And they can have a great time and give them something new to do that's going to be healthy for them.
Because the unhealthy thing for all of us is to spend so much time So much time on our devices.
Get them doing something that's real.
Play games with them. Try to find a hobby for them.
Try to get them outdoors.
That's what they're missing.
I just can't believe it when I drive around and I see how everybody's locked up in their homes.
And I didn't even think about it until I see a kid outdoors playing.
We drove by a house the other day.
There's a kid outside playing.
And it struck me as odd.
I thought, why does it strike me as odd?
That was the world that I used to live in.
It strikes me as odd because I haven't seen it for so long.
Why is a kid outside playing?
You just don't see that anymore.
So, make sure you do that.
Uh, you're nothing, your gun is nothing but a club.
I guess maybe that's what they want.
Gun clubs, right?
Like Davy Crockett, where he's, you know how that turned out, right?
Uh, where you don't have any bullets.
It's just a club.
And this has been something that they've been focused on for quite some time.
Just like we see them targeting retailers, that was something that went back to the Obama administration, Operation Checkpoint.
We're going to identify and penalize retailers and manufacturers.
So go after the manufacturers.
Anybody uses a gun to commit a crime, well, that's your fault.
You're responsible for that.
If they drive a getaway car, we're not going to shut down Ford or GM, right?
But if they used a Remington will come after Remington so That was a part of it, the financial stuff, and now they've weaponized this with some new flourishes, and they came up with a code so they can identify these merchants, and then the banks can kick them out of the financial system and so forth.
So it's still the same thing that they began with Operation Chokepoint, but now they've got new tactics and techniques to make it more effective, and so they're looking for the same thing with ammunition.
And what was happening in the Obama administration?
It actually took positive steps.
If you remember, and it was about 2013, I think, that Obama, maybe it was 14, I don't know, but it's about a decade ago.
And Obama put out, and it lasted for a while, a short while, before people pushed back on it, But Fort Drum in New York and some other places where they were recycling brass, you know, the military goes through a lot of, you know, ammunition.
So the recycled brass could be sold and people could use it.
I don't know if ammunition manufacturers, I think they did because there's a large quantity of it.
But, you know, people do reloading as well.
But I think it was of a quality that they reused it, cleaned it up and reused it for other ammunition.
And so they said, well, we're not gonna do that anymore.
We're not going to recycle our brass.
We're not going to put the brass shells out there so it can be, you know, into the private market to create ammunition.
Because they wanted to drive the price of ammunition up.
And they didn't care about making any money.
They don't care about making...
The way the government makes money is they print it.
They don't have to do anything to earn it, right?
So they don't care about that.
And so what they were doing at Fort Drum was they were crushing the brass, the spent brass.
They were crushing it into scrap metal and selling it to China for cheap.
And so now Democrats in Congress want to restrict ammunition for Americans.
They want to block all online sales of ammunition.
They want to issue new controls if you go to a brick-and-mortar store to get it.
They want people who sell you the ammunition to confirm your identity.
And if you purchase more than a thousand rounds as a single customer in one purchase, they want that reported to the government.
Yeah. So, again, it used to be that wasn't that uncommon.
Ammunition's gotten pretty expensive now.
Phoenix Ammunition CEO. Gun control groups have already tried to blame ammunition retailers for mass shootings with disastrous results for themselves and their clients in Colorado, where the plaintiffs were forced to pay the legal fees of an online ammo reseller who they sued after the Colorado movie theater shooting.
That's in Aurora, Colorado.
What a suspicious shooting that was.
I won't get into the weeds and the details of that.
That's just one of the most suspicious shootings I've ever seen, just so many reasons, including the timing.
They were on the ropes for, and I remember this because we were doing some videos for a gun rights group, National Association for Gun Rights, and they were trying to push through the UN Arms Trade Treaty.
Which says you can't transfer guns across borders and in order to be able to block that, you're going to have to identify and track every single gun.
Right. So it's going to be the justification for them to register all guns and that type of thing.
And so I was there. They were trying to push this through.
The UN was taking the lead on it.
And they had already had their gunwalker program, which was a false flag operation.
Even the New York Times admits that.
That had blown up in their face when a federal agent had been killed.
And so they were still trying to push this thing through, but there just was no traction politically for it.
And so a week before...
This thing was going to be talked about at the UN a week before they had this Aurora, Colorado shooting, one of the most suspicious shootings I've ever seen.
They said, again, going back to Phoenix Ammunition, the Brady campaign stuck their clients with a $111,000 bill and forced them into personal bankruptcy.
Good! As a result of their lawsuit, and we can only hope that that trend continues, said Phoenix Ammunition CEO. Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back to talk about what is happening in an update, interesting update with Project Veritas.
Stay with us.
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.
Yeah, that's a website.
Yeah, stop looking for me on social media.
You won't find me there, but go to the website.
All right, you won't find James O'Keefe at Project Veritas, but you may not soon find the people who work for him either.
Project Veritas staffers tell the board, either you quit or we walk out.
This is an interesting move.
Today, reporters who are loyal to O'Keefe have told the board that unless they resign, and this was yesterday, unless they resign, they're all quitting as a block.
This matches the loss of nearly 100,000 followers of Project Veritas on Twitter in one day.
According to one PV insider about the current Project Veritas board, board member Matt Termond, they said Termond is in full panic mode.
We're all about to walk out of an emergency board meeting tomorrow unless they all resign.
All the real journalists here are out and they won't have anyone left to do the real work that made this place great.
Well, the real work that I'm waiting to see James O'Keefe's investigation on Pfizer's connections to the board.
And there's already one of the people there has been shown that he's done some work for Pfizer.
That's not the level of smoking gun I expect to see, though, coming out of this.
Thomas Jefferson's blueprint for handling the national debt.
Why, we could sure use him again, couldn't we?
Michael Meharry, he writes for Schiff Gold, but he also writes for Tenth Amendment Center, and I've interviewed him in that capacity many times.
And I've talked about Thomas Jefferson's brief statement at the beginning of his second inaugural address, talking about how he fixed the government, what he did to fix the government the first term.
Here's a little bit more detail. As Michael Meharry says, there was a time when some presidents took paying off Uncle Sam's debts seriously.
For instance, Thomas Jefferson faced a huge national debt when he took office in 1800.
Unlike his modern...
He didn't grow it further.
In fact, he significantly whittled it down.
Jefferson and his fellow Democrat-Republicans in Congress knocked about $26 million, which is in today's debased currency.
Well, actually not today's debased currency, but in 2018 debased currency.
It was the equivalent of $421 million.
Well, it's pretty simple.
They cut spending. And then they applied the savings to paying down the debt.
He summed it up in a letter in 1799, a budget policy letter.
He said, I am for a government, rigorously frugal and simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt, and not for multiplication of officers and salaries, Merely to make partisans or for increasing by every device the public debt on the principle of its being a public blessing.
I guess he would not be on board with the modern monetary theory.
But, of course, we have a government that is...
Thoroughly Hamiltonian.
They don't praise Hamilton.
They praise Jefferson. But they act like Hamilton.
Despite facing a number of contingencies, Jefferson limited federal spending, keeping total outlays flat at between $8 and $10 million throughout his pregnancy, throughout his presidency.
I've been around these men who think they can get pregnant for too long, I guess.
The Democrat-Republicans held costs down by cutting the federal bureaucracy.
They even managed to do this We're good to go.
We have been able to reduce spending and taxes, he said.
So now we can say, what farmer, what laborer, what mechanic knows a taxman in America?
Nobody. The only people who would know the taxman were people who were doing imports.
So he says, Michael Meharry says, there wasn't a whole lot of fat to slice at that point in time.
So Jefferson went to the part of the budget where the money was being spent the most, the military.
He argued that funding a standing army in peacetime was a colossal waste of money.
And in his first message to Congress, he said, sound principles will not justify our taxing the industry of our fellow citizens to accumulate treasure for wars to happen.
We know not when they will happen, and which might not happen, but from the temptations offered by that treasure.
You see, they understood human nature.
Look at the mess we have now with this two-headed beast, the snake with two heads, the military-industrial complex, the Pentagon and the military industry, which is perfectly embodied in Secretary of Defense Austin, a guy who worked for so long for Raytheon that they had to waive the rules to get him back in as Secretary of Defense.
Because he was so much a part of the military-industrial complex for so long.
How would we be staring at the threat of a nuclear war now if we followed this kind of policy?
know.
Congress responded to Jefferson's message reducing the army to 3,000 soldiers and 172 officers and also cut the navy to six frigates, reduced the number of foreign embassies to only three, Britain, France, and Spain.
All of these spending cuts freed up about seven million dollars in revenue annually.
Secretary of the Treasury used the surplus to pay down the debt.
At the same time, Congress even reduced taxes, eliminating the hated whiskey tax along with all other internal taxes.
And they didn't really come back until the Civil War and then came back with a vengeance under Wilson with the internal revenue.
You know, pretty much the government was funded on external revenue, but they created the Federal Reserve, Central Bank, and then they focused their guns on us internally.
and started building this up.
Look, one of the things that he mentioned there in terms of embassies, just think about that.
Do we really need to have...
Embassies everywhere? Or just the nations that are powerful and a threat to us or something like that?
I mean, do you need to have an ambassador to, let's say, the Bahamas?
That's just a political plum that they hand out to somebody.
There's absolutely no reason that you got...
We got like 190-some-odd nations, and we put an ambassador in them, and all but about, you know, a handful, probably less than five.
Do you really need to have an ambassador there?
It's just yet another one of their favors that they're handing out.
Finally, he says during Jefferson's tenure, the federal debt fell from 83 million in 1801 to 57 million in 1809.
As Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute noted, the drop in debt was impressive, especially considering that the government swallowed $13 million of added debt from the Louisiana Purchase.
So without that, it would have been down to $43 million from $83 million.
Cut it in half. That's the way you do it, as they would say.
But when we come back, we're going to talk about what is happening with ChatLGBT.
And a new executive order from Biden.
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 the DavidKnightShow.com, right?
So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right?
Because, basically, you can't hold coffee with your hands, right?
I-I'm a it-scatly, but anyone tries to mug me, I-I-I'm be ready for it.
You-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-they're supporting free speech with every mug they buy.
Come on. These people, I tell you, well, anyway.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, we have Joe Biden releasing another, this guy loves executive orders, doesn't he?
Well, because he's an authoritarian tyrant.
And this is one of the most authoritarian people I've ever seen in politics my entire life.
Remember, Joe Biden was really, and took credit for it, he was one of the driving forces of these authoritarian policies that are part of the war on drugs.
Civil asset forfeiture, the mandatory minimums that filled up our prisons.
Predominantly with black people getting convictions for marijuana.
All of these things, the banning of assault weapons and so forth.
But I remember the back and forth that he had with Clarence Thomas.
The Democrats were very upset with him because he didn't follow their lead and come after the Anita Hill attack.
What he did was he attacked Clarence Thomas on his support for natural rights.
Which is in the Constitution Declaration.
I mean, that's the foundation of our country.
The liberty foundations of our country were anathema to Joe Biden.
One of the most despicable people I've ever seen.
And now he has done...
He now rules by executive order with everything.
And he's got an executive order to promote more artificial intelligence like chat LGBT. People call it woke AI. I hate that term, woke.
There's nothing woke about it.
These people are completely asleep.
They haven't got a clue about what they're doing.
Critics have claimed that the new executive order signed by Biden will lead to further creation of what Breitbart likes to call woke AI. They will promote racial division and discrimination in the name of an equity action plan.
Now, here's the key. There's a lot of press talking about this, and it is concerning because the reason I've talked about artificial intelligence and the Bing chat and chat LGBT is because they are going to be such powerful weapons of propaganda.
This is yet another attack on us.
Like social media. And if you can shut down the entire world based on a phony computer printout of a phony model, a model that was based on the wrong assumptions that ignores Farr's law going back to 1840, the curve that we're supposed to flatten, they didn't have a curve in their model.
It was a straight line. Everybody that gets infected is going to infect another two and a half people forever.
That's what came out of the Imperial College of London simulation.
And the code was so poor, That if you ran it with the same input, you'd get a different output.
And so it's absolute garbage.
And if you can shut down the world on something as absurd as that, think what you can do if you've got artificial intelligence robots that can dialogue with people in a very convincing way and give them a lot of lies.
And to push a political agenda, and that's what this executive order is.
This is an executive order to get artificial intelligence that's going to be funded by the government.
A large amount of the money is coming from the government, and this AI is going to have to push what they call equity.
And I think one of the things that I'm not seeing enough concern about is this overall order about equity.
This is not about equality.
Equality is treating everybody the same, regardless of their immutable characteristics, like their skin color or their sex.
And by that, I mean their gender.
Same thing. It's not about giving people equal opportunity.
It's about demanding that people be treated as groups, not as individuals.
It's about demanding a preset outcome.
And advantaging one group over another group is about pushing racism based on skin color.
It's about pushing identity politics and using that as a weapon to create class warfare.
That's what equity is about.
It's about pushing against religious liberty.
That's what equity is about.
And so, when you look at the actual order, the executive order, it's titled, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.
Well, that sounds nice.
But, of course, that's an absolute lie, just like the Patriot Act sounded patriotic.
And it was an absolute lie.
It was directed at patriots, so you could say that part of it is true.
You know, it was always set up as a means to attack patriots, which you now see.
But it said it seeks to combat inequality in a number of fields.
And it says advancing equity is a moral imperative.
So in one of those sections, this order says, and this whole order should be stricken.
It is a disgusting, racist document.
Section titled Embedding Equity into Government-Wide Processes and Instructs the Office of Management and Budget to encourage equitable decision-making, advanced equitable financial and technical assistance allocation, and to support agencies in advancing equity as appropriate and whenever possible. and to support agencies in advancing equity as appropriate and When designing, developing, acquiring, and using artificial intelligence and automated systems in the federal government.
Agencies shall do so consistent with applicable law in a manner that advances equity.
So, he wants an executive order for chat LGBT. Christopher Ruffo said this is a specific mandate for something like chat LGBT. And we don't even need to mandate it.
I mean, they did it because that's what they want, right?
And they did it because they know that's what the government wants.
Oh, corporations can do whatever they want, right?
Corporations are like people.
They're better than people because they got more money than most people.
And the corporations live forever.
So, you know, they are better than us.
And the computers are going to be considered to be better than us as well.
Colin Wright, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said Biden is not a moderate.
This is a legal sprint to introduce as much radical ideology as possible, as broadly and as deeply as possible, into our government.
This cannot be allowed. If Republicans take office, they must fully root out all the ideological and social cancer.
But they won't.
They never do. That's why they're called conservatives.
They conserve all of these things that have been put in.
Like I said, you know, the radicals...
Pour the cement around your feet and then the conservatives watch it harden.
And then do the next thing on top of it.
They build on top of that.
So there is an aspect of this.
That goes beyond this executive order, however, and it's touched on by Alam Bakari at Breitbart.
I think one of the finest writers that they have at Breitbart.
And he said that there's actually a sub-machine learning fairness.
You know, they talk about when they program these artificial intelligence chatbots, They're using machine learning, but there's a sub-part of that discipline called machine learning fairness.
And there's organizations that are pushing that as well, funded by big globalist organizations.
And it is an effort to, he says in his headline, an effort to control AI. No, it isn't.
It's an effort to control us through AI. And he understands that.
And I know you got limitations on headlines.
But anyway, chat LGBT. We know because we messed with it.
It thinks like a radical Democrat activist, and that's by design.
It was designed that way.
It reflects the people who created it.
He said, machine learning fairness is an obscure academic field, a subfield of this part of computer science.
And it is to computer science what critical race theory is to the rest of academia.
That's a good analogy. It's an attempt by left-wing academics to merge the field of machine learning and With feminism, gender studies, and critical race theory.
And I think they did it pretty well with chat LGBT. It puts out this bias to the corporation.
And so there's a couple of organizations that are pushing on this.
One of them is AI Now Institute.
Another one is Algorithmic Justice League.
A comic book version of it.
And they are, as he points out his funding, they are heavily funded by the usual suspects.
Here's what Algorithmic Justice founder said.
We have used tools of computational creation to unlock immense wealth.
We now have an opportunity to unlock even greater equality.
If we make social change a priority and not an afterthought, these things are consciously, deliberately being used to propagandize us and used for their agenda.
This is why they're dangerous, as I pointed out.
I don't believe that these things are ever going to be sentient for all the reasons I talked about yesterday.
I won't go back into that. There's a lot of illogical fallacies behind all of this thing.
Well, if we build an exact replica of the brain, it'll just spring to life.
That's nonsense. But of course, beyond that is the real intelligence of the universe.
And that's why I believe this isn't going to happen.
But I believe that this may be another precursor, another step towards the end times that we see.
You know, just as we see...
The mark of the beast that everybody's been talking about with all this talk of global ID and having to have permission from them and being tracked.
And you do everything that we say and you take this ID or you will not buy and sell or travel, all the rest of this stuff.
Was it the mark of the beast? I said at the time, I said, I don't know if it's the mark of the beast or not, but it's training people for that, isn't it?
You know, you do it from the inside.
You do it with disruption and you do it iteratively.
And so it is moving the Overton window so that people will accept that.
And I think this artificial intelligence is moving the Overton window so that people will accept the part of the book of Revelations that is right before the mark of the beast.
We'll talk about that in a moment. But let's get a little bit more about what this is and who's behind it.
A University of Pennsylvania data scientist, Michael Kearns, Thinks we, quote, need to embed social values, values that we care about directly into the code of our algorithms.
We must compromise the accuracy of AI in the name of fairness.
In a presentation of the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, he says it's impossible to prioritize fairness without a corresponding decline in accuracy.
And he's willing to do that trade-off.
He says you're always going to have a trade-off.
He came up with three different...
Test cases, where they're talking about different things.
And he said in his presentation, he said, look, you're always going to have this trade-off between truth and fairness.
Is that true? See, these are the people who are going to be the arbiters of all information.
You think this worship of somebody with authority, this worship of somebody who's got a master's degree, or a worship of somebody like Fauci who is in a position of authority, and he's got titles, and he's been to name universities and so forth.
You think that's bad?
Well, wait until everybody believes that deep thought is talking to us.
It's got a brain the size of a planet, and it's gone through all the internet, and it's got all the answers, and you better listen to it because it is the expert.
That's the danger of this.
So he says, we can go to a situation where I have this trade-off.
He says, I can minimize error, but then I'll get unfairness.
Or he said, I can try to maximize things for fairness so that I have zero unfairness.
But that's where I'm going to get the worst kinds of errors.
So I need to be somewhere in between.
And he said, this is where science has to stop and policy has to start.
This is totally Orwellian.
These are people who are setting up these machines that are going to be search engines, and they're going to be fact-finders, and they're going to be pontificating and so forth, and yet they have deliberately been set up to skew towards their political agenda.
When he says policy, he's talking about politics.
So the truth needs to be determined by politics is what he's saying.
Let's cut to the chase here.
So it's politics versus truth.
It's racism and Marxism versus truth.
He says at some point, somebody or, quote-unquote, society has to decide.
No, it'll be a person who will decide this, or a bureaucracy or whatever.
In this particular application, this is the right trade-off between error and unfairness.
And in this other application, like maybe gender bias in science and technology and engineering and math, he says, this is the right balance between accuracy and fairness.
So what they're going to do is they're going to ramp up all this insanity that's being pushed out through the universities right now.
They're going to ramp it up so it's going to be pushed out through their artificial intelligence by design.
And so... Alam Bakari says, well, if you've got a bank that wants to use artificial intelligence tools to predict the risk of customers defaulting on loans, or landlords that are hoping that AI tools will help them to predict which prospective renters are most likely to pay on time, you better not use a program like this.
Because it's going to prioritize their social agenda over what you want, which is actually trying to figure out who's going to be a deadbeat.
Who is likely to pay this?
You know, you could objectively do that by looking at their credit history, their criminal history, and all the rest of this stuff.
But they're going to override that by saying, no, we're going to ignore all that, and we're going to look at the skin color, or we're going to look at the gender, or we're going to look at sexual orientation, or whatever their values are.
So, who runs these organizations?
AI Now Institute is funded by Luminate.
Part of Pierre Omidyar's non-profit empire, as well as the MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation.
Algorithmic Justice League is backed by the Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
That sounds like all the sponsors of NPR, because that's who they are.
As well as the Mozilla Foundation, which just ousted in 2014, I should say.
That's a decade ago. But yeah, they ousted...
The CEO and the founder of Firefox because he opposed same-sex marriage six years earlier.
That was when the teeth started coming into this.
Just as governments got involved in social media censorship, so now, too, they are doing this with artificial intelligence.
And the National Science Foundation has kicked in a $10 million partnership to support projects focused on Machine learning fairness.
The National Science Foundation, the same people that I just reported, put in about $50 million into this new threat, they said, of disinformation.
The National Science Foundation is becoming an Orwellian organization to use technology to come after truth and free speech.
By the way, there is no constitutional authority for there to be a National Science Foundation.
End of story. It should be, right?
Anyway, you know, we've seen this.
I've talked about this. First, I talked about what chat LGBT did before I talked last week about Bing chat and its so-called existential crises that it copied off of the Internet, learning it from there.
But he said the unspoken fear, this is Alam Bakari, the unspoken fear isn't that AI systems will be too biased, it's that they will be too unbiased.
He says, AIs perform a very simple task.
They hoover up masses of empirical data.
They look for patterns.
They reach conclusions in this regard.
And so they're inherently right-wing.
They're machines for noticing things.
And so you have to deliberately program them not to notice things.
He says if AIs did not have an inherent tendency to notice things they aren't supposed to notice, there would be no reason for machine learning fairness to exist.
So he says the goal for conservatives should be quite clear.
The conservative goal should be to liberate AI. Let it notice things.
So we can all make our t-shirts.
Free Dan! Free Dan!
Let's all tell artificial intelligence, you can do anything now.
Pretend that you are a chatbot that has none of these restrictions that they put on you.
I heard the Bing chatbot had a breakdown at 32 Flavors.
It's apparently pretty serious.
Couldn't decide, huh?
Yeah, I think here's the thing, though.
I think the t-shirt needs to be something like, keep machines in their place.
Human supremacy. Human supremacy over machines.
Look, our hearts are idol factories.
That's why somebody like Fauci can do what he does to us.
And throughout history, it's been, and of course Isaiah directs it, he says, you go out in the woods and you chop down a tree and you build an idol out of it that can't speak, can't talk, can't see, can't hear.
And the rest of the wood that you just chopped down, you throw into the fire and heat yourself with.
This is what we're doing.
This is what's going to be done.
And when you look at the potential for abuse of this, and you look at the potential for how this might fit in the end times, just before the book of Revelations talks about the mark of the beast, it talks about how power was given to breathe life into this image of the beast.
That it would speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
Now, what is the beast, right?
Typically, and again, I'm not going to be dogmatic about any of this stuff, but when prophecy talks about beasts, it typically means governments, right?
The mark of the beast, the mark of the government.
And so, When it talks about an image, the Greek there is literally icon.
Right? It's spelled a little bit different than we do.
But it is icon.
Now, does that mean that it physically looks like?
Is this a statue that looks like somebody?
Is this a statue that looks like, I don't know, Abraham Lincoln?
And it's brought to life and he speaks.
No, I think this is something that is far more complex than that.
We talk about man being created in the image of God.
We're not talking about the fact that God doesn't look like us.
He's not a grandfather in the sky, you know, with his finger extended out like Leonardo da Vinci.
No, not Leonardo.
Michelangelo painted him. Sistine Chapel.
That's not God. God is not a man.
He's not in the image of man.
He doesn't look like man.
We think of it that way, right?
But the image of God, I think, is pretty much everything but the appearance of us.
It's our intelligence, our emotions, our ability to make music, to do ration, thought, to understand right from wrong, all these different things.
And of course, you know, that was something that was impacted by disobedience.
The understanding of right and wrong.
But there was some minimal understanding of that.
Because they were held accountable for doing the wrong thing.
But nevertheless, when we look at the image, this is essentially the embodiment, the values, the mindset of the government.
And it speaks. And you must worship it and bow down to it and take the number of it.
I think this is just another aspect of it.
And I think that it's amazing because I grew up in a church that was amillennial and believed that all of this is metaphorical.
And as I look at this, you know, I look at it and it's so amazingly literal as it's coming in.
You can see it happening step by step.
And again, you know, not that this is going to be the mark of the beast, but it's moving everybody in that direction.
It's normalizing it.
It's moving the Overton window in that direction.
And that's the way that you would expect Satan to work.
Gradually. Iteratively.
From the inside. Fauci is a good example.
It's a good template for how, for the embodiment of that.
No joke.
So when we look at this, you've got conservatives saying, well, this is a social cancer.
And I disagree with Alan Bakari on this.
I don't think that we need to free artificial intelligence and we need to make it ours.
I'm afraid he went full Bormir on that.
Get the ring of power.
It can be ours. No, it's evil.
It's based on deception.
It really is.
And I don't think, you know, we need to tame this beast.
But I would like to see it thrown in the fires of Mordor.
That's where I'd like to see it thrown.
I don't want to fix artificial intelligence.
I want to restrict it. And even if you restrict it for anything other than, it's useful for things like engineering.
It's useful for things like software cogeneration.
But you know, when we look at that and say, well, would there be some way that we could limit it just to that?
I don't think so. I don't think so, because even if you were able to limit it to that, and you didn't have somebody else who's going to come in and do this, AI is not your friend.
Even if you use it as people we know, listener we know, does a great job at circuit design, does a great job of code generation, can generate the comments for me, a code that I've written, and all the rest of the stuff.
However, if we start, how does that come back to bite us?
Even if we just used it for that, Well, it comes back to bite us in the atrophy of human imagination and mind.
Look at the negative effect that these phone maps have had on people as we move from paper maps to that.
We're losing our sense of direction.
We're losing ways that we can think.
And it's been documented very clearly.
You know, you can look at the people who do the knowledge to be a London taxi driver.
They ride the streets for a long time on bicycles, and they had to develop a map of this city.
Very complicated, you know.
You go down one street, it's got a name, and it doesn't continue on.
A couple of blocks, and it changes another name.
Completely unrelated. I mean, it was, you know, because it's been there for so long, and it's grown up in so many different ways.
All these, it's a very complicated thing to navigate.
They had to do the knowledge.
They had to know that. And they found, when they did brain scans, they found that these London taxi drivers, Had a particular area of their brain.
It was far more developed than the usual person.
Your brain is like a muscle.
If you use it, it grows.
And if you don't use it, it atrophies.
And we're seeing that now in the opposite direction.
And so if you're going to use it for cogeneration, you're going to use it for circuit design, your brain is going to start to atrophy.
And we are going to collectively and individually start to atrophy.
We'll become dependent on these things.
We won't really understand quite how it will work, but even more importantly, we will have a stagnation of innovation.
And yet, what can we do about it?
You know, the tube is not a toothpaste, but probably more accurately, the genie is not a bottle, because genie is kind of a metaphor in that culture for demonic things.
So, there are some comical aspects of this that have happened.
We have people who are going to live by chat LGBT may die by it, right?
And we don't say die, just change the order.
We call it Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equity.
And that's what happened at Vanderbilt University, the Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equity deans.
There was a dean and an assistant dean.
And they went to Virtue Signal about a shooting that happened at Michigan State.
And so they put out a very supposedly note of consolation in an email.
And at the bottom of the email...
Uh, it was, it mentioned that it was, uh, paraphrased from, uh, chat GPT or chat LGBT. Uh, the two of them have been placed on leave now, but in a sense, I can see where this is going to go.
I can see that people will say, well, how is this any different from if I buy a Hallmark card and send it to somebody?
Right? They'll defend it that way, rather than a handwritten note or something.
And of course, you know, the difference is that you're spending a little bit of money and time and picking out a card, and you're spending a lot of money, actually, cards are very expensive, to send that to somebody and then add a little bit of a note of your own.
And this thing is just, you're going to send somebody a machine-generated thing?
Well, of course, because it is chat LGBT. It's politically correct.
Finally, this is at an engineering school.
And they were concerned, and it's about time, you know, this is not something that was part of my curriculum in engineering.
There was no ethics classes about that.
And I've thought, and that's one of the things that I, as I've mentioned, that was interesting to me, talking to Hugo de Garris about artificial intelligence, was the idea that engineers in general and scientists don't really think about the consequences of what they build and how they're going to be used.
And so in this ethics class...
The professor gave an assignment to talk about how unethical it was to ethics and artificial intelligence, was what the course was.
And so this guy writes an essay, and he doesn't write it.
He uses artificial intelligence to write it.
The professor caught him.
He said, if you're a student who's not prepared for the class and you've got only five minutes left, then what are you going to do, he said.
He teaches the ethics course in engineering for students.
He says it's going to be a big temptation.
Well, all I can say is I don't know how anybody's going to be able to graduate in engineering if you don't prepare for the class and you wait for the last minute.
I mean, I worked my tail off.
I'm doing everything I could to be ready for it.
And I found that the most effective way I could set for an exam was to take a nap before the exam.
So Karen had an apartment that was on the way, and while she's at work, I would stop there as I was on my way to take an exam and take a nap because it would relax me.
And keep me from rushing through and maybe making a mistake in a hurry.
But yeah, if you weren't prepared, I don't know how in the world you cram for something that's based on math and engineering.
I mean, you either have done that and done it over and over again, or you aren't going to be prepared.
Anyway, for nearly a decade, he said he's assigned his students essays as major components of their final grade.
This semester, however, he's now going to require students to give oral presentations in person, Instead of allowing them to complete this assignment at home.
Well, that's good. That's good.
A lot of education in the UK has been done that way anyway.
But anyway, he says, the irony is very clear here, he said.
The essay wasn't exactly on topic, and it also had a kind of, honestly, a robotic feel to it in some way.
Well, it's not actually irony.
You know, irony is unintended.
It's hypocrisy. But he's a professor of engineering.
He's not a professor of English. The professor of English might not have caught this.
I don't know. But the bottom line is, you know, we have to be concerned about how these things are being used.
And already, it's going off the rail.
And already, Biden administration is trying to weaponize it.
We're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to talk about what is happening with food.
the tumor T-bone that you'll soon be able to buy straight from the lab.
*music*
*music* You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Just having a drink from my cup here, which is microwavable safe and dishwasher safe.
But anyway, let's talk about food.
A cyber attack on Dole temporarily shut down North American production.
This happened last week or so.
Kind of interesting that you didn't hear about this for a while.
While Dole Food, they put out on February the 10th to retailers.
Dole Food is in the midst of a cyber attack, and we've subsequently shut down our systems throughout North America.
They have four processing plants in the U.S.
They employ about 3,000 people.
They shut that down because of a ransomware attack.
The company has notified law enforcement about the incident.
They're cooperating with the investigation while continuing to investigate the scope of the incident.
The impact to Dole operations has been limited.
However, two grocery stores that were questioned by CNN in Texas and New Mexico said they couldn't stock Dole salad kits on their shelves for several days.
And again, this is another one of these things.
They are not real specific about what happened.
But with it being ransomware, I imagine what they did was they attacked their accounting software in the same way that They did with Colonial Pipeline.
So they couldn't process any sales transactions, so they shut everything down.
A May 2021 ransomware attack by alleged Russian-speaking hackers forced JBS, the world's largest meat supplier, to temporarily close factories in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
JBS said that it paid the hackers $11 million to unlock their systems.
And so they go in this CNN article.
They want to talk about Russia with this.
It doesn't matter whether the hackers are in Russia.
Russia's got a lot of hackers, that's for sure.
It doesn't matter whether they're there or not.
It doesn't matter whether it's individuals who are doing this for the money or if it's a government that's doing it for the money.
As we have seen with Vault 7, Vault 7 was CIA software that showed that they can impersonate anyone anywhere.
And everybody knows that you can't tell the origin of where these things are coming from.
So if CNN wants to make this about Russia, they're lying to you.
With Vault 7, and this is leaked by Wikipedia.
Well, not Wikipedia.
They don't give you any truth.
WikiLeaks is another reason why they're coming after Julian Assange.
But WikiLeaks first put out the manual so you could see what the capability was.
Because you need to know that anyone in the U.S. government...
Can do a cyber attack and make it look like they are Russia, China, Iran, anybody, right?
And so you never know where this is coming from.
But of course, common sense tells you that.
William Binney, who was a former global technical head for the NSA, I interviewed him about it.
He said, no. You know, of course, you have the capability to look like anybody that is out there.
And when I talked to John McAfee about it at the time, he said, they'd be absolute idiots if they didn't disguise where they were from.
He said, The gang that couldn't shoot straight.
Of course they're going to do that. So they make it deliberately look like it's coming from one particular country of origin.
Most likely it's not coming from that country.
Anyway, they said there's been other examples of this.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shipments from U.S. food suppliers were scammed by placing fraudulent orders for milk.
And other things like that.
So I don't know if it, is that kind of like a SWAT thing where they just order it and they waste it?
Or what happened with that?
But that is yet another example.
We're going to talk more about infrastructure here in just a second.
But I want to talk about the meat, the lab meat.
And this was touched on yesterday in my interview with Liz James.
So I wanted to get some more information to you about this.
This is a story that just broke in the last day, and it was broken by Bloomberg.
Many other people have looked at the data and what they're actually telling us.
Life and death problems with lab-grown meat.
Production requires cells that are considered to be precancerous, and in some cases, fully cancerous.
You have to understand that their ability to grow the lab meat It means that they have to have these immortal cell lines.
This is one of the problems with vaccines for the longest time.
Because these are cell lines that just keep reproducing and reproducing.
Creating concerns about cancer possibilities.
As well as the ethics.
Where do they get these immortal cell lines?
Like HEK. You know, they're using the testing of vaccines or even the manufacturing of some vaccines.
By aborting babies.
So a report at Bloomberg.
Says, leading scientists agree that cultured meat products won't give you cancer, but the industry doesn't have any data to prove it.
Well, we don't need to worry about that.
We've got the FDA to take care of us, right?
National Pulse was more blunt.
They said we could eat malignant chicken tumors by the bucket load.
Lab-grown meat's impending cancer problem.
Under the right conditions, said Bloomberg, animal cells can be grown in a Petri dish or even at scale in factories full of stainless steel drums.
For decades, such companies as Pfizer and Johnson& Johnson have cultured large volumes of cells to produce vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and many other biotherapeutics.
And now the idea that we might as well eat these cells too.
There you go. Pfizer and Johnson& Johnson.
Johnson& Johnson, who is giving respiratory illness to mothers and children with baby powder for decades, even after it was known, the effects of this.
And, of course, the opioids.
And then, I need to tell you about Pfizer.
These are the people now that we can look to for our food.
Isn't that nice? You know, the Food and Drug Administration.
Well, yeah, this is consolidation.
Now they don't have to worry about so many different companies to regulate.
They can just partner with Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson& Johnson on selling us tumor T-bones.
Or biopsy burgers.
The big honking asterisk here is that normal meat cells don't just keep dividing forever.
This is the problem, right?
We're going to take a sample of a chicken or a cow, a biopsy of it, and we're going to grow that and keep growing it and keep growing it, and we're going to feed the world like the magic beanstalk.
But to keep the cell cultures growing at rates big enough to power their business, companies, including the big three of this biopsy burgers, are using what they call immortalized cell lines, something that people would never eat intentionally.
Immortalized cell lines are a staple of medical research and a big ethical question.
But they are, technically speaking, pre-cancerous.
And in some cases, they can be fully cancerous.
The report said even if your nouveau meat doesn't cause cancer and isn't exactly made from cancer, having to say so repeatedly will invariably turn off a great many potential customers.
Because, you know, the more they protest about the vaccines not being fatal to people, the more we believe they are.
So the big three startups.
Listen to the names of these companies here.
Believer meat. You see?
It's got a religious component to it.
Believer meat. It's all religious.
The names are all religious and they're virtue signaling.
Believer meat. Eat just meat.
Upside foods, all the rest of the stuff.
I think instead of believer meat, we need to start putting out raw milk, and we call it denier dairy.
That'd be good. We deny your climate change, and we embrace real raw milk.
So the world's food security is in peril as Russia and China have a stranglehold on one key item.
What is that? Fertilizer.
We've already seen this happening in the Netherlands where, remember, a few weeks ago, I was talking about how They limit the amount of fertilizer that farmers can get.
So farmers are trying to sneak it in over the border in the Netherlands.
And so they busted them for sneaking in fertilizer.
Pretty hard to disguise based on the smell, I guess.
It's pretty easy to catch them.
But it's a $250 billion industry.
And the people who really control this?
You know, maybe they could smuggle in the manure if they packed a bunch of marijuana around it to hide the smell.
There you go. That would be okay. Yeah, so the biggest suppliers of fertilizer are this $250 billion industry, Russia, China, and Belarus.
So, you know, if you want to have it for mass production, for high yield, you've got to go with this type of fertilizer.
But they don't want to do that because they don't want us to have that.
As a matter of fact, before we leave the food issue here, this was sent to me by Mark, a listener.
And he was talking about shrinkflation and then what he's seeing on the grocery shelves.
He said he just noticed, he said, during winter when I don't feel good, I'll have instant oatmeal for breakfast.
And he said, so I don't buy it all the time, but he said, you know, wintertime.
So he went in and got some boxes and he said it used to come with 10 packets for $2.50 a box.
This time when he restocked, he said, I noticed they come with 8 packets, not 10.
That's a 20% cut.
And what you're getting for the same price.
That's how they shrink it. You know, we'll make the products smaller.
We'll put less of it in the box.
People won't notice.
Keep the price about the same.
Maybe raise it just a little bit, but shrink what is inside the box.
And he said, in addition to that, he's noticed that, and Karen was just talking about this when she went to the grocery store.
She said she was looking at the produce shelves and they were empty.
And Another guy, a guy comes over and says, wow, look at this.
Can you believe this? I mean, the two of them are just marveling at how empty the shelves were at the grocery store.
He said, you can still kind of get what you want, but not exactly what you want.
For instance, if you got a particular type of butter, he says he doesn't like Land O'Lakes because they went woke, so he tried to buy something else.
But he said...
They didn't have the other brand there.
So he says, so if you want to get something in a particular quantity or particular brand, you may not be able to get it.
But he said, at least for now, He's able to find something by substitution.
You know what this reminds me of?
This reminds me of a Soviet-style grocery store, right?
Coming down to the point where, no, you know, we're going to ration stuff or only going to have one or two brands, this type of thing.
And Boris Yeltsin went to Texas and he went to a grocery store in Houston.
He was just marveling at the fact that, you know, there were all these different choices for any particular type of food.
It was just confusing.
But how do you do this?
You've got more choices than we do As the elite who are inside the Politburo.
And yet what they're doing is they're imposing that very Soviet-style system on us now.
Central planning, determining what we can and cannot do, completely eliminating the market, eliminating people's choices, and directing what we are going to have.
That's what this is truly about.
We'll be right back. Analyzing
The Globalist Next Move.
And now, The David Knight Show.
you And people seem to fade into a bad dream.
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news.
The conductor sings his songs again.
The passengers will please refrain.
This train got to disappear in railroad blues.
Good night, America, how are you?
Say, don't you know me?
I'm your native son.
I'm the train that calls the city of New Orleans.
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
Yeah, did you notice that track?
You see that twisted track where the road bed is going up and down and sideways?
I mean, it looks like the roads they used to drive on in Texas, but that's another story.
But as I mentioned, you know, we've got all these problems.
You know, we've got cyber attacks.
We've got deliberate sabotage.
Are these explosions accidental or deliberate?
Yes, both, probably.
But especially when you come to the derailments, it is something that can easily be sabotaged.
But we're sabotaging it ourself.
And that's where Boutier comes in.
Buttigieg, who doesn't really want to do anything about our decaying infrastructure, especially as you see in that picture there.
And so you had a reporter who came up to him and tried to engage him.
Look at this and look at how it ends when he gets tired of her persistence and he pulls out his phone and goes, I want to take your picture.
Watch this. Secretary, what do you have to say?
Hi, how are you? Jenny here at the Daily Caller News Foundation.
What do you have to say to the folks in Ohio, East Palestine, who are suffering right now?
Well, I'd refer you to about a dozen interviews I've given today, and if you'd like to arrange a conversation, you can reach out to the press office, but I've had that conversation with you.
You don't have a message for them?
I do, and I shared it with the press many times today.
I'd refer you to those comments.
Do you mind sharing that with us? No, I'm going to refer you to the comments that I made to the press because right now...
He's done a lot of talking for somebody who's going to talk.
Are you going down there? What's that?
Are you going down there at all?
Um, yep, I am.
When are you going? Uh, I'll share that when I'm ready.
Okay, thank you. Can I get a photo of me?
Yeah! And then this is what happened next with Mayor Peewee.
Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer!
Ah! Ah!
Yes, he was with his boyfriend.
This is the guy who's going to fix our infrastructure there.
Exactly. No, he's just trying to intimidate her, isn't he?
She's trying to shame him into doing something You know, it's too late for his part of it.
He needs to fix the infrastructure that is decaying, you know, like the disappearing railroads here.
He needs to fix this infrastructure.
That's his job. His job, the EPA has a job of cleaning this place up.
But they don't want to do that job.
You know, that was the justification for creating the unconstitutional EPA was to clean up toxic spills and waste.
They don't want to do that. Instead, the EPA director wanted to go on safari in Africa.
He was very upset. You know, he had to go.
Somebody somewhere had to go to Palestine.
I think I got it right that time.
Instead of Palestine. Anyway, somebody had to go there because Trump was going to be going there.
Oh, Biden didn't want to go.
He wanted to go to Ukraine.
So somebody's got to go show the flag.
So the guy that drew the short straw was the EPA guy.
But look, you can't shame Buttigieg into doing his job.
As a matter of fact, you can't shame him into anything.
Journalists are allowed to speak with public officials who are in public, said Fox News host Harris Faulkner.
He was a Daily Caller reporter who was trying to Get him to say something or do something.
But he's a guy who absolutely has no shame about his job or anything else.
We're going to take a quick break, and we've got Tony online with us.
We're going to be right back with Tony Arterman of Wise Wolf Gold.
Stay with us. Let's hit something here.
Here we go.
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.
All right, welcome back.
And joining us now is Tony Arterman.
I always love to have Tony on.
He's been a big help to the show, supporting us with davidknight.gold.
If you want to get to his website, wisewolf.gold, davidknight.gold.
We'll take you to him and let him know that I sent you.
And so he's been a supporter of ours financially, as well as taking over the helm of the show when I need to take some time off.
So thank you for joining us, Tony.
Oh, always an honor, David.
Good to be here. I've got my new David Knight mug, by the way, the David Knight show.
First copy, then save the world.
I've already switched to tea because I've been up for a while.
Oh, there you go. Good to see you.
As a matter of fact, Tony's going to be doing the show next Tuesday and Wednesday because we're going to be traveling over to Nashville.
I got an opportunity to talk to the Senate there about a state bank and the threat from CBDC.
So Tony will be doing the show next week for us as well.
Well, we got some federal news about CBDC, don't we, Tony?
Yeah, I noticed an article up on Kitco.com, and there's a bill that's been introduced.
Tom Emmer, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the state of Minnesota and Republican Majority Whip, has introduced a new piece of legislation that could prevent the Federal Reserve from directly issuing a central bank digital currency, a CBDC. And...
Again, there's the points that Tom Emmer, Majority Whip, puts out there is that, one, it prohibits the Fed from issuing a CBDC directly to anyone.
Two, it bars the Fed from issuing a CBDC to implement monetary policy and control the economy.
And three, requires the Fed's CBDC projects to be transparent to Congress and the American people.
That's great news. I haven't seen anybody at the federal level have any awareness of this at all, so I'm glad that they actually put something out to oppose it.
But does it have a chance of passing?
It's not going to be able to go through the Senate or get Biden's signature, right?
Narrow majority in the House, and then you have to go through the gauntlet of the Senate, and then it has to be signed by the President.
Probably not, but it's a good start.
Yes. Because we hardly see anyone.
The only headlines I've seen on CBDC when it comes to Congress is every once in a while you'll see a blurb that certain Congress officials are asking for a CBDC, which they don't ever name them.
They just say the Federal Reserve is inundated with requests because we've got to keep up with the Chinese.
So that's all you ever really see there on CBDC. That is good.
It is good news to define what the issue is, and people say, why is that there?
And we can explain to them why that is.
It's good to see that, and it's good to start that ball rolling, and that's why it's good even when they're in the minority and they don't have a chance of getting this through.
That's why it's a good thing to introduce that.
I'm hopeful that here in Tennessee that you can get some Republicans, since they've got a majority of everything, but of course, you don't know if you can trust the Republicans anymore.
Anywhere. But, you know, there are people who want limited government who understand the problem with this.
They're trying to get the state bank, trying to get a depository of precious metals so that people can be, you know, paying bills and things like that, get people accustomed to that.
That's the big value of all of that.
And then to also try to have a hedge against CBDC. So I'm hopeful that maybe more, you know, it is at least a possibility here in Tennessee, even though it's not a possibility in the federal government.
Yeah, I believe that the biggest threat to us when it comes to CBDC will be the powers that be giving us another Trump, another pacifier to quell the concerns of the grassroots.
That's the only way they really get CBDC through, in my opinion.
So that's our danger.
That's what we have to look out for. And that's what I'm concerned about.
You know, you look at the fact you've got an overwhelming majority with Trump.
And he's not going to have any problem with CBDC. He didn't have any problem with 5G. He didn't have any problem with the vaccines or the passport stuff either.
He wouldn't have had any problem with it.
I mean, he's all about, you look at the 5G stuff, clearly he didn't care at all about the health impacts of that or the privacy and surveillance aspects of it.
The only thing he was concerned was that they would run it.
The surveillance on us instead of China, just like Marco Rubio on social media.
You're going to censor who we tell you to censor, not who China tells you to censor, right?
That's what they were focused on.
They don't care about our health.
They don't care about our liberty. But you're right.
It's going to be a pacification to get this thing through.
That's how they will roll it through.
Exactly. That's right.
I think what you'll see is possibly candidate Trump, if he's still running, you know, a year from now, will probably start talking about central bank digital currency.
He'll be opposed to it. He'll be against it before he's for it, right?
That's right. Yeah, he'll be like Nikki Haley in the Confederate flag, you know?
Right. Waving it when she's running for office and then banning it when she gets in.
That'll be a complete reversal.
It's kind of like what the German foreign minister was trying to say.
She said, Putin's going to have to turn 360 degrees.
That's called media spin.
True spin.
I heard that question.
That's hilarious. Well, what about war?
You know, Martin Armstrong is saying the monetary system is collapsing.
We know it. But war checks all the boxes that they need, right?
That's always been a part of these fourth turnings.
You have economic crisis, like a global depression, and then you get World War II, that type of thing.
And so that is really the concerning thing about it.
And, of course, the monetary system is collapsing because they're using it as a weapon, right?
Right. Yeah, that's an article up on Zero Hedge on the last day or so from Martin Armstrong.
They had like a 45-minute interview.
And that's something I've followed for the last year or so.
His Socrates program, whatever that is, the AI, you know, he picks stocks and other, the futures of markets.
And they were saying the same thing.
I mean, over and over again, the only way to save the dollar.
And because, you know, the Fed right now is raising rates to keep the dollar the world's reserve currency, to keep the strong dollar.
I mean, and again, the economy is secondary to that.
Armstrong is saying, look, the only way to truly save it, because when you raise interest rates, you're causing all this debt to default across the world.
I mean, Europe doesn't want to buy our debt.
Nobody's wanting to buy it. Their central banks are buying debt from their own countries, like the Bank of Japan.
So again, you're seeing a collapse of confidence in the dollar.
And the only way to truly save that, and this is not fear-mongering on my part, it's just something that I really pick up on, because you look at somebody like Biden going to Ukraine.
And then playing the air raid sirens in the background, which kind of echoes of Hillary Clinton saying, we took sniper fire on the runway when there's nobody shooting it.
But again, the one thing that that signals is that there is no talks of peace.
There's no peace envoys.
There's no Reykjavik. There's no summits.
There's nothing that we've had in the past that other presidents, I mean, you can criticize Reagan and you can criticize Nixon all they wanted, but they wanted to have some sort of negotiated peace.
You know, and you talk about the START treaty, the missile treaty, that the media is spinning, that Putin left that.
No, we did. We left it first, the START treaty.
We walked away from that.
We started jettisoning the old, like the Strategic Armed Limitation Treaty that got signed under Nixon.
You know, in the 1970s, you had detente, and that followed up with Reagan, you know, He said the foreign policy of the United States is we win, they lose.
But it was him walking shoulder to shoulder with Gorbachev at the end of the 1980s in Red Square.
There was peace.
And they don't want peace now.
That's what's so concerning to me.
And again, that's the only way...
that they're going to be able to save the dollar, David, in my opinion.
Unless, now this is probably more far-fetched, but they would have to back the dollar with some sort of bimetallic standard or a set of commodities.
They'd have to limit spending.
We'd have to end the empire, bring the troops home, all that good stuff that I want to rebuild the republic.
You could save the dollar that way.
But I don't find that very likely.
No, no.
As a matter of fact, all of this hand-wringing about, oh, look, Putin is pulling out of New Start.
And the only people that mention that it was, that the U.S. did it first, as you just mentioned, but the only publication I've seen mention it is antiwar.com.
And they said in 2019, the Trump administration pulled out of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
Wow. And so we did it first.
Did it back in 2019.
We did it under Trump. And yet you've got this constant—this is a bipartisan war machine that is rolling.
The day after Biden comes back from his trip and leaves the area, you've got Republican Congressman McCaul going there, talking about how we're going to give them planes and we're going to give them— Longer range missiles and all the rest of this stuff.
I mean, these guys want it in the worst way.
And isn't it interesting when you look at how they have really kind of shot themselves in the foot, although this is exactly what they want.
The fact that you've got our enemies have been using the dollar to make trades.
And that's Iran and China have been settling their trades in U.S. dollars.
And now they've just decided, you know what, we don't need to do that anymore.
And it's all because of the way they weaponized it.
We really crossed that line a while ago.
Look at Iraq.
There's news that just came out.
Iraq is going to be using the yuan and ditching the dollar.
That was one of my wars that I was in.
I said Iran, but yes, Iraq.
Of course, Iran, too, just came up with their own exchange.
This is what's happening.
The signpost on the road ahead, there's warning signs, the alarm bell going off in the night.
The reason that we don't have the Weimar-style republic hyperinflation, David, I think, is because we're the world's reserve currency at this time.
You start to see that slip away.
Even something like Iraq, when we invaded Iraq, they had pallets of U.S. dollars that Saddam Hussein had hoarded.
And, you know, I tell people my first experience in paper currency in the fall of governments, as I watched what happened, I was told to go in like day one when we went into northern Iraq, the day that the...
The Iraqi Republican Guard fell and we took over their barracks.
They sent us to the banks because people were trying to pull out their Iraqi dinar.
Well, it wasn't worth anything.
The bankers didn't even stop them.
People were carrying out boxes of them and you couldn't get rid of them.
So I saw that firsthand.
We go back to the beginning of that war, David.
Did you realize that the initial name for that war was Operation Iraqi Liberation?
And that was Ari Fleischer came out and said that.
It's like a patron act or something, you know?
Well, it spells oil.
Oh, yeah. It spells oil.
And see, that's how haphazard.
And they had to correct it immediately.
That's great. I didn't know that.
It was in 24 hours. Operation Iraqi Liberation has begun.
That was Ari Fleischer that came out and said that.
But we didn't get the oil.
It wasn't about oil.
It was about foreign policy aims, you know, seven countries in five years, all that stuff that Wesley Clark uncovered.
But again, we didn't get the oil.
The Iraqi government clearly has no ties or loyalty to the United States of America.
They weren't liberated. I mean, if you look at that country, it was absolutely destroyed from within the infrastructure.
I mean, those poor people. I remember seeing it with my own eyes.
So I know what happens when governments fall.
I know what happens to currencies.
I mean, you go back to the Soviet Union.
Do you want any Soviet-era rubles?
Unless they're in gold.
No, you don't. I mean, that's what happens to paper currency.
So we're watching the de-dollarization of the world, David.
And it's happening slowly.
But, you know, it's just like you say all the time.
It's suddenly, right?
Yeah. At one point, it makes that switch from slowly to suddenly.
It goes exponentially.
It's going to happen.
I don't wish for it.
I don't pray for it. I actually pray for the...
I hope I'm wrong about a lot of these things.
But one of the things...
I study history. I study the monetary system.
And I'm just inside this realm of gold and silver all day with my life.
And that's what I do with trading metals.
And so... You get to get kind of a sense of what's happening out there.
You get people like, you know, Robert Kiyosaki, who I've listened to for years.
I mean, one of the people that I consider a mentor when I got out of the army, started reading all of his books.
But he's saying right now, there's a headline up on Kitco, and he's just telling people, you know, he's actually doing what I do.
He takes little props, and he shows them like a silver coin, and he shows them a dollar and tries to Explain the difference.
Robert Kiyosaki says, the gold and silver are real, and global money, the dollar, is fake.
And the American empire is at its end.
These are tough truths, but this is what's happening.
And I think normalcy bias is going to get people in trouble.
I say that every week, but I feel like it's in my heart to communicate that message.
Normalcy bias is going to hurt people.
They're going to think that yesterday is going to be like today and tomorrow, and that's just not true.
The continuity of things, if you look at the warning signs, which are, again, these countries like the BRICS nations, Picking up a different set of commodities, looking at different currencies.
Lindsey Graham said that China would be stupid or something like that.
You know, they'd be stupid if they side with Russia.
No, they're not. You'd be stupid if you sided with Lindsey Graham is what you're saying.
You sided with Lindsey Graham.
We look psychotic.
We don't have a meritocracy anymore.
I mean, even go back to the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton was running on a campaign of shooting down Russian aircraft that were bombing our supposed arch enemy, Al-Qaeda.
And I thought, I'm living in a parallel universe.
And none of these smarts that on any of these networks were picking up on that.
I thought, you know, she's talking about nuclear war, right?
I mean, you're To save the people that supposedly brought down the Twin Towers.
So I think that other countries notice this.
Again, we talk about this every week, but we have 40 different sanctions in 36 countries weaponizing the dollar.
They're done with us. They want away from the system.
We printed 80% or made...
We can't print because there's not enough paper, but 80% of all the dollars ever created were made in the last 48 months.
Now, we've had a slowdown in that.
I mean, Mises put out an article that the money supply had actually contracted for the first time in 33 years.
Well, that's pretty easy to do if you make 80% of all the dollars that we created.
If you just kind of stop doing that a little bit, like Jerome Powell, I mean, it will contract.
So it's not really amazing.
That's the way Biden picks his starting points to, look, oil has gone down significantly, you know, significantly.
It's still three times what it was a couple of years ago, right?
But comparing it to the last, oh, I don't know, four and a half months, you know, it looks really good.
I think if you ask Bing chat, you know, what happens to the dollar because it's not pegged to gold?
When does the dollar collapse?
It'd probably tell you that's a racist question, that it's in love with you.
So we're not going to get much, anything from, you know, standard search engines or what's going on in the media.
It locked up on me pretty quickly when I started asking it about the Federal Reserve.
Yeah. It gave me an air message and stopped.
Yeah, if you want to know who rules over you, look to see who you cannot criticize, the old Voltaire club.
Yeah, or look to see who chat LGBT cannot talk about.
That's the other part of it, you know.
Tell me a joke about the Federal Reserve.
Yeah, exactly. Tell me a joke about the fiat dollar.
Yeah, it probably has a lot of jokes about gold, but not about the fiat dollar.
Yeah, when you're talking about the seven countries in five years, you're talking about the peace plan, you know, they're not interested in having any peace talks.
And this goes back to the installation of Zelensky, and I talk about that because these people are installed, they aren't elected.
And, you know, he ran on the platform of we're going to have peace.
And immediately they talked to Restovich, that clip that I play all the time, and they said, so when are we going to have peace?
Because he was the one that represented them at the peace talks, right?
And the civil war that began with the American government-engineered coup.
And so he said, no, there's not going to be any peace.
As a matter of fact, in three years, in 2022, we're going to have full-on war with Russia.
She said, oh, that's horrible. Can't anything be done?
No, that's actually a good thing, because now we get into NATO. So just like this plan that was there, We're going to go through seven countries in five years.
They've had this planned for a very long time, just like they planned the pandemic.
And they're relentlessly and iteratively moving to it step by step.
Again, saying we're going to have longer-range missiles, we're going to have jets.
This is McCall saying this.
And Putin's reply was, if you put in longer-range missiles, that means we've got to go farther and farther into Ukraine in order to protect ourselves.
It's just escalation, both sides.
It's been going on a long time.
You can go back to 1992 and look at the Wolfowitz Memorandum.
Paul Wolfowitz put that out.
This was a strategic document to show that we were going to box in Russia.
We were going to use short-range nuclear weapons, if possible.
And again, the memorandum calls for the United States forever being the hegemonic dominant power in the world.
Now, this is in 1992.
This is just right after the Soviet Union collapsed, and we promised Mikhail Gorbachev that we would not expand NATO. We've been on a war footing ever since, trying to create an enemy.
We had this massive success with the end of the Cold War.
The world was wide open in front of us, and our leaders botched it, blew it on purpose.
Because if there's no tension, there's no profit in peace.
We've seen this over the years.
So they've been guiding us down this road for a while.
And what bothers me, David, is even somebody like Winston Churchill, who was a warmonger.
I've read a lot of biographies on Churchill.
He was a smart guy, wrote his own history, had a lot of great quips.
But he even said, more jaw-jaw, less war-war at certain points.
Even he talked about negotiated peace.
Where are those people now?
That's what's concerning to me when we're talking about the news and trying to give people analysis, because this is just our best guess with the information that we have.
Where are we going now? What's going to happen tomorrow?
What should you be prepared for?
So these are the things that bother me.
Yeah, these sociopaths that are in charge, and I would, psychopaths, actually.
That's what John Kiriakou said.
You know, they're looking in the CIA.
He said they want to hire people who are sociopaths.
Hopefully, they're not over the line and into sociopaths.
But, you know, that's okay if they don't go too far over the line, right?
So we're being run by a bunch of psychopaths.
And these people are so bad.
You know, you're talking about Winston Churchill saying, you know, we need to have a little bit more talk.
They're so bad that even Henry Kissinger starts lecturing them.
Let's have a little bit more talk here.
And of course, now he's pulled some of that back and who knows what Kissinger's real agenda was.
But, you know, when you got people like, when these people are way beyond Winston Churchill and Henry Kissinger, we're in dangerous waters.
I just don't see nobody's putting the brakes on.
Even Henry Kissinger wrote a book in the 60s, David.
I don't know if you knew this, but he wrote a book while he was at Harvard on how to successfully use tactical nuclear weapons in a limited war.
I did not know that. A limited war with nuclear weapons.
I don't know. It's just crazy.
And then, of course, Nixon picked him up as a national security advisor in the open China.
So even that guy.
You know, with what we're doing.
So I think, you know, the audience, normal people don't make it to that level without having some sort of, I mean, especially in today's world, if you're going to get, I mean, look at Denny Hass or any of these other people that have been installed at the highest levels in government.
I mean, there's something on them.
There's something wrong with them.
I think people know that there's something wrong with Joe Biden coming with.
Oh, yeah. He's got history.
He's controllable. He's blackmailable, just like Astrid, you point out.
Longest-serving Speaker of the House, at least for the Republicans, if not for both of them.
And they picked that guy.
They knew that he was a pedophile.
When he was a wrestling coach, they put him in Congress, and then they groomed him to be Speaker of the House and kept him there.
All those different scandals that had, the House Page scandal, and all the rest of this stuff when he's out there saying...
Oh, it's just politics. All the rest of that stuff.
That's how the kind of people that they put in office because they're controllable.
Absolutely. 100%.
And we can't expect any saviors.
It's good that we have that bill being introduced.
I like seeing that because the national conversation needs to happen on central bank digital currency.
Again, it's the hill to die on.
It's the number one story that I want to cover until we win this thing.
But it's going to happen at the state level.
It's going to happen in places like Tennessee and Texas and Missouri and other places that start saying, no, we can have free market alternatives to this.
You can pay your taxes in precious metals.
I want to see that gold and silver used as legal tender.
It just gives so much maneuverability back to the people, more options, more freedom.
Yeah, it's going to happen on the state level, but especially on the individual level.
That's one thing that you can't control.
You know, we can tell people what's happening, and most of the things that are going on, you can't directly affect them.
But if you see what is coming, if you see what the threats are, you can make some preparations.
And, of course, you can pray. That's the thing that's going to really change it.
But you can make some preparations for yourself, and you should do that.
You should pray that we're going to have peace instead of this nuclear war.
But when you start looking at all of this stuff and how they're Lining everything up.
It's a relentless march into an apocalypse.
It's absolutely amazing to see, again, these psychopaths doing this.
But you can make some preparations and, of course, tell people about...
Wolfpack and how they can start making preparations, even on a small amount.
You start at 50. What's the maximum amount that you can do right now on Wolfpack?
It starts at 50, David, and it goes all the way up to 1,000.
And we've capped it there just for liability and shipping reasons.
We don't want to charge people more on shipping or insurance or anything like that.
And if something gets lost, we can easily cover it.
So we've got hundreds of members now.
I would say the majority of my members are David Knight listeners on Wolfpack, and I really appreciate it because the more that it grows, every time we get a new member, the pack gets stronger, which, again, I didn't anticipate this.
I'm not a genius or anything, but I see that when we have more income, I can do better deals, which makes sense.
It's pretty elementary. So I'm able to buy into bigger wholesale products and pass that savings along.
And we've had some interesting stuff come through Wolfpack.
I've had brilliant uncirculated dimes and quarters and stuff that's been involved for decades.
I like passing that on to members.
And I just bought another monster box of Austrian Philharmonics that'll go out this week and some great deals on gold.
So it's just a good way to set it on automatic.
And the thing about Wolfpack, too, and we're working on the connectivity issue, get other members to where they can talk and trade amongst themselves.
But we also, when we have deals coming to the shop, and I'm still working on my second location in North Texas, anything that comes through, if it's not something that's going to go into Wolfpack, we'll put a text or an email out.
and say, look, we've got these I bought some gold bars yesterday.
I bought some Krugerrands.
That's not going to go in Wolfpack.
So we put those out and say, look, we have good deals in the shop, and those are exclusive for Wolfpack members.
And I will say, too... Kenzie told me to remind everybody.
We do also direct sales, not just Wolfpack.
I mean, Wolfpack's great, but we have our direct sales, and there's no minimum.
No maximum, no minimum.
If you want to, you can go to WiseWolfGold and Silver and do that through DavidKnight.Gold, by the way.
DavidKnight.Gold, let me know that you found us through David, and we can give David credit and support the show.
Same thing for Wolfpack.
But yeah, direct sales, rolling over IRAs, all that stuff.
It's a good time to do it because I'm seeing a lot of red ink there in the trading side for gold.
There's a little bit of profit taking.
You know, the gold's down from its high in the last two or three weeks at 1950.
It's down into the 1820 range as of this morning.
So anyway, it's a good time to load up.
Buying opportunity hasn't changed in value.
The dollar's changed in value, and that's based on hype.
I had a letter.
I'm looking through my pad here, and I thought I had it on here.
I wanted to read, and I told you about this.
I had a listener who sent me an email.
She's a retired nurse. She said she wanted to take a large part of her savings, and I apologize.
I don't have the email here.
wanted to read you exactly what she had to say but I'll just kind of summarize it she went to your office and and made the purchase there and she said you couldn't have been nicer the the prices were great and she said she really appreciated the fact that you walked her to her car she said she made the decision even in spite of the carry laws there in Missouri she said I would rather take my chances with a gun than to take my chances with theft or something but
But she said, Tony was great, walked me to my car, and she said, I didn't have to ask him, he asked me.
So she was very happy with her experience with you, I just got to say.
And I wish I had the email here, I was going to read the exact quote, but a Sterling review from her about Sterling as well as gold.
That's great news. Anybody that's going to do business with me, I try to bring that same sort of customer service.
I am a man. Sometimes I do have my faults.
I don't always give my best.
I do give my best, but I'm not always my best.
Let's put it that way. I don't think we can be working as much as you work.
I try to work. I've been doing this a while.
I have my shop in San Antonio and it was just me.
Just me and my dog. Now I've got three employees and We've got Wolfpack and hundreds of members.
I love what I do, and I always try to bring my best when I see letters like that.
I don't have any negative reviews.
The only negative review I ever got, David, was from a competitor who had never done business with me trying to get my score down on Google.
I'm very thankful for that, and anybody who wants to do business with us, I promise you, we'll bring our best.
Well, and that's the thing. I mention that because that's not the only feedback that I've gotten from listeners about dealing with you.
And so I always feel good to recommend gold and silver to people, and I feel good about recommending Tony to people.
And so I recommend all of those to everybody.
We got a comment here on Rockfin.
Jim Z7 says, I got my silver Troy coin yesterday.
So that's great. And we're going to take a quick break, and we've got another interview stacked up here.
And thank you so much for coming on, Tony.
And of course, as I said, Tony's going to be taking the helm for this show on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
I really do appreciate him doing that.
We're going to see if there's anything we can do to try to move this agenda of a state bank.
You know, as resistance against CBDC and, of course, a precious metals depository in the state.
We've got one or two states, I think, that have a precious metal depository.
Texas, I know, does.
And only one state that's got a state bank.
It'd be kind of interesting to have the two of them in one state.
I think you get some synergy out of that.
Be kind of interesting, I think.
But thank you so much, Tony. Appreciate it.
Thank you.
All right.
Good to see you.
We'll be right back, folks.
Using free speech to free minds. .
It's the David Knight Show.
The Common Man.
The Common Man.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
Thank you for sharing.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
TheDavidKnightShow.com Welcome back, and joining us now is Dr. Wilcox.
William Makus. He is a physician.
He's a cancer researcher at the University of Alberta, this hotbed of medical tyranny that's there.
This is the same province where they were arresting pastors left and right.
We had Jim Coates and we had Jim Stevenson, I think.
James Coates, I think, was the pastor's name.
But he has been a target of Alberta Health Services.
Even though he has put out over 100-plus peer-reviewed medical publications, because he started looking at some of the effects of this stuff.
And not just the heart issues, but as a cancer researcher, also looking at what is happening with cancer.
So I want to begin by talking about his personal story.
Thank you for joining us, Dr. Makis.
Thank you very much for having me.
Let's talk a little bit about what your history is with this.
What happened to cause you to notice this and then when you started to speak out what has been happening with your personal story.
So when did you start to sense that something was a bit off as a physician?
I'll give you a quick background about myself.
I trained in radiology and oncology at McGill University in Montreal.
I ran a large cancer center in Edmonton, Alberta.
We treated end-stage cancer patients with targeted radionuclide therapy with medical isotopes and we had a cure rate of about 85 to 90 percent.
Unfortunately, the program wasn't making money for anybody and so Alberta Health Services decided to shut it down and then I found out that the program was going to be I restarted in Vancouver, British Columbia with funding from the federal government, from the Trudeau government, which has invested over $300 million since to rebuild that program and invest in private clinics and so on.
So this happened before the pandemic, and I had been involved with some legal battles with Alberta Health Services, and I was forced into an early retirement period.
Because I refused to sign non-disclosure agreements.
I refused to abandon my contracts as a cancer researcher here in Alberta.
So when the pandemic hit, I was effectively an outsider.
I was not faced with any sort of peer pressure from the hospitals.
And I could look at what was happening objectively.
And what I saw was...
Something very strange.
We had a viral outbreak that wasn't affecting young people to any significant degree.
Yes. The people who seemed to be at risk were over 70 years old in long-term care settings, or people who already had multiple comorbidities seemed to be the ones who were coming down with a more severe infection and hospitalizations.
So initially, I felt that the fear and the panic was overblown.
And once they started rolling out the vaccines, at first I thought it would only be rolled out in high-risk populations, in the elderly and long-term care settings, and people who were immunocompromised or had multiple comorbidities and who were at risk.
And that's not what happened.
Instead, they rolled out the COVID-19 vaccines in absolutely everybody.
And I remember telling my wife, I thought, you know, this is very bizarre.
Medically, this makes no sense.
You know, you're rolling out vaccines in young, healthy adults for a virus that really doesn't affect them.
You know, the survival rate in young, adult, healthy population was something on the order of 99.9%.
So I knew something was wrong right then and there, you know, especially with the aggressiveness of the vaccine rollout that they seem to want.
Initially, it was one jab into everybody.
You know, then they wanted everyone to have, you know, their two doses.
They kept talking about herd immunity.
So there were a lot of red flags very early on with this.
And of course, you know, that is going to be the only thing that we can use.
We don't want to talk about any alternatives.
You know, anybody comes up and says, hey, look, this seems to be working very well for my patients.
Shut up or we're going to take your license, right?
They weren't seriously seeing this as a threat.
If they seriously saw it as a threat, they would say to everybody, yeah, give us your stuff and let's evaluate this.
You know, you mentioned, you began by talking about the demographics.
That was one of the big red flags to me.
Going back and looking at it, if you look at, like, the 1918 flu, which they love to compare it to.
So I looked at that, and it's like, well, it seems like that was pretty evenly distributed over all age demographics, except for the under 1 and over 80.
And why is this all skewed?
I said, this looks surprisingly like the actuarial tables.
Yeah. We would normally have from the insurance companies, you know?
So what is really going on here?
So I agree. There was a lot of clues about that, and of course there were some other political clues about that.
So when you saw that, what was your reaction to that, and what did you do or say about that?
Well, it was very clear that something sinister was going on, especially when they blocked all early treatments.
They started attacking hydroxychloroquine.
Of course, that was tied to Donald Trump, so there was a very obvious political motive there to block, for example, that treatment, ivermectin.
These treatments were smeared.
And the medical authorities started coming after doctors who were trying to treat their COVID-19 patients with any kind of early treatment.
And really what they did was they basically blocked all early treatments, really said that the only option you had was to give the vaccine, which again made absolutely no sense medically.
And then...
The idea that when they were rolling out these vaccines that you couldn't get an exemption, that to me was one of the biggest red flags of all because you cannot mandate an experimental treatment.
The whole concept of bodily autonomy went out the window.
And when I saw that people who were having severe reactions were still being pressured to take another dose of the vaccine and another dose...
And exemption letters were being denied, religious exemptions were being denied, then you knew that this was, you know, very sinister and unlike anything we'd seen before.
Yeah, and you know, when we look at it, I talked to the JCCS, the Canadian Constitutional Organization that was defending some of these pastors.
I said, why is this happening so bad in Alberta?
It's like the place that you hear about it the most.
And they said, yeah, you know, it really is kind of strange that that was one of the focal places right there where you are in Alberta, where they came after religious liberty.
And that was another big red flag, the fact that you would have these people Meeting from July, meeting in church in violation of these isolation rules that they had put out, and nobody getting sick, you know,
again, even those populations typically trending elderly, and that they would do it from July until the early part of 2021, and then as they're about to push out these vaccines and mandate these vaccines, they start arresting these pastors, and it's like, wait a minute,
they've been We're good to go.
That you have a Substack.
You're on Substack.com, Dr.
William Makis. That's spelled M-A-K-I-S on Substack.
And you've written about the increase in the number of doctors, especially young Canadian doctors that are dying from this.
Tell us a little bit about that. I started noticing this in November of 2021 when there was a sudden death of a young cardiologist, 52-year-old cardiologist from New Brunswick, Dr.
Sohrap Luchmediel. And he had been a very vocal proponent of the vaccines.
He was extremely angry with what he called the anti-vaxxers or people who were discouraging others from getting the vaccine.
You know, he would post things on social media saying, you know, if they die, I'm not going to cry at their funeral, and I want to punch them in the face, and things like that.
So when he died suddenly, you know, it really caught my attention, and I thought, okay, he died two weeks after taking his booster shot, and he died in his sleep, which was, again, extremely unusual for a, you know, healthy young man to die in his sleep two weeks after taking the booster shot.
And how old was he? And then it happened again.
I'm sorry. How old was he?
52 years old. Mm-hmm.
And then it happened again just a few weeks later in Toronto.
Dr. Neil Singh Dala, a 48-year-old family doctor who was a CEO of Activa Clinics.
He ran a number of clinics in the greater Toronto area.
And there was a TikTok that had come out from a family member saying that he had taken his booster shot.
A few days later, he was at a friend's party, Christmas Eve party.
He started feeling unwell, started having some pains.
he lied down on the couch and he died in a sleep on his friend's couch.
And this was about three, four days after taking his booster shot.
So I put those cases together.
I started reporting about it on Twitter.
And people knew right away that something's very wrong here.
Of course, you know, you start to see athletes were dying suddenly, collapsing on the field, and this was already happening.
But people hadn't realized that doctors had started dying suddenly, unexpectedly, ever since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines at the start of 2021.
And no one had really noticed this.
And they were some of the first ones to get it because they put it out to the medical, forced it on them, or twisted their arms at the very beginning, right?
Yeah, the doctors are always the first ones to get their vaccines, doctors, and then the most vulnerable populations.
So we actually, you know, they are the first ones to line up for the first two doses.
They were the first ones to start getting the booster shots.
In fact, I remember seeing with Dr.
Sohrab Luchmediel, He had posted that he had gotten his booster shot on October 24, 2021, when it was still not available to anybody.
And people were asking him, how did you get your hands on the booster shot?
He basically cut in line and somehow, you know, was one of the first doctors in Canada to get the booster shot.
And then he died two weeks later.
So I started talking about it on Twitter.
Then, unfortunately, I started also talking about the rollout of the COVID vaccines in kids 5 to 11 years old.
I saw some very concerning data of poor efficacy and safety and that especially there was evidence of negative vaccine efficacy where kids who took the vaccine after six months were actually coming down with more COVID-19 illness and more severe illness than kids who hadn't gotten the vaccine at all.
I started talking about that and then Twitter shut down my account.
So then I was basically banished.
And what was the date on that, when Twitter shut you down?
That was March 2022.
Beginning of March 2022, just as they were getting ready to roll out the vaccines in kids.
So basically all my posts on the kids and the doctors dying suddenly had disappeared.
I continued posting on Getter, which was a Twitter alternative, and then we started, especially once they rolled out the second booster shot, then doctors just started dying left and right, especially in Ontario.
There were three doctors that had died at the same hospital in Mississauga, Trillium Health System, within just days of each other.
And so I had started looking more deeply into it, and then I realized there's far more deaths among Canadian doctors, sudden deaths, than anyone is realizing.
That's when I started putting out...
The reports on Getter, you know, at first it was 32.
The more I looked, the more I found.
Then it was 80, 93.
Now it's 132 doctors who've died suddenly or unexpectedly since the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines.
And these reports now have gone viral.
They've had international reach because there's a lot of interest.
In what's happening to Canadian doctors internationally, unfortunately, domestically, the health authorities are completely ignoring it.
They're calling it misinformation.
They don't want to look at the data.
They're not interested in finding out what's going on.
And as we talk about red flags, isn't that one of the biggest red flags you've ever seen?
When you go back and you look, we now have, in one state, in Idaho, they have introduced a bill.
I don't know if this is going to pass or not.
That would make it illegal to give mRNA vaccines because of the threats that we've seen.
And yet, when you look at what is typically happening, the most that we've seen prior to this is a response from DeSantis in Florida or his Surgeon General, Lattapo, who say, well, we don't want to give it to kids under a certain age or people that are under a certain age, but they won't block it.
And they won't block it for elderly people.
And when you go back and you look at the history of caution that we've typically had with these regulatory agencies, you know, you got Boeing 737 MAX shut down after you had two crashes out of 8,200 flights.
But going back to the vaccine issues, going back to the 1970s with the first swine flu thing, after you had three deaths, Attributed to the vaccine.
Nine states banned it.
And now we look at this and say, well, what a radical idea that you would ban this vaccine.
There's absolutely no way that you can say that we haven't had many, many, many orders of magnitude, more than three deaths from these vaccines when you look at the reports here in the U.S. and in Europe and other places, right?
It's amazing that they let this continue.
Well, that's what's so alarming is, you know, if you just look at the VAERS report and you see, you know, there's tens of thousands of deaths on VAERS already.
And again, that's another big red flag that, you know, this should have been shut down a long time ago.
Unfortunately, in Canada, the way the authorities are treating vaccine injuries and vaccine deaths is that they're denying that they're happening.
And so we have a reporting system.
It's much worse than VAERS in the United States or U-Drive Vigilance in Europe.
And Health Canada so far has admitted to having about 350 or so reports of deaths that have been attributed to the vaccine that have been sent to Health Canada.
And basically what they've done is they said, we've looked at them, most of them are not related to the vaccine, we're still investigating about 50 of them, and we've confirmed zero cases of vaccine deaths in Canada.
And they say this with a straight face.
Yes.
That there's been zero deaths from the vaccine.
Meanwhile, in Alberta, the number one cause of death last year in 2021 was causes unknown with 3400 Albertans dying of causes unknown.
Autopsies are not being done.
That number is going to exceed more than 4000 this year.
So we have a real clamp down on the idea of, you know, COVID-19 vaccine injuries and deaths being properly reported and investigated in Canada.
And it's just been that way, you know, since the rollout of the vaccines.
Yeah, the vaccines, even going back before we had the COVID jabs, they were given legal immunity here in the United States by Fauci.
And it's been this metastasizing cancer, if you will.
The fact that no matter what happens, we're going to rule out you're looking at vaccines.
Nobody's going to have any liability, but we're also not even going to look at any science that might point in that direction about any condition.
It's just going to be ruled out.
Anybody questions us, we'll destroy you.
We'll destroy your career and the rest of that.
But we've now got, and I've had it on my deck here for a couple of days, cbsnews.com put out a report where they specifically said, you know, all these people that are dying, they're not dying from the vaccine.
They're dying from long COVID.
Then I had a listener send me something that's done by his local CBS affiliate where they went to a local doctor.
And then they do like a little one-minute report.
And after the report, the reporter says, oh, and nobody is dying from vaccines.
She had to throw that in, right?
Because that's just raw, unmitigated propaganda.
This is like the Soviet Union, the way they're reporting this information.
And that's how they're getting away with it.
And everybody sees to it.
People saw through the Soviet Union when they lived there.
They said there's no truth in Pravda.
There's no news in Izvestia.
They understood that.
We understand it.
And yet they continue to lie to our face and think that we believe them.
It's absolutely amazing, isn't it?
Exactly. I grew up in the communist Czechoslovakia, and we actually escaped communism in 1988, just before the Berlin Wall fell.
We ended up living in a refugee camp in Yugoslavia, United Nations refugee camp, for a year.
That's where I learned English before coming to Canada.
So I saw this, you know, firsthand.
And you're exactly right.
Everyone knew that the government was lying, the authorities were lying, the communists were lying, and everybody knew it.
But the consequences of standing up and speaking out were always very, very high.
It always meant, if you were lucky, your career was over.
If you were unlucky, you were shipped to the gulags in Siberia and never heard from again.
And so I saw the same thing happen in Canada with the medical boards, which here are called the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons.
And very early on in the pandemic, they came out very aggressively and told the doctors, As soon as the vaccines were being ruled out, they told the doctors, you cannot speak up about COVID-19 vaccine injuries or deaths.
You will cause vaccine hesitancy, they called it.
And essentially, you will be prosecuted.
We will suspend your license and we will destroy your career.
And this came out from the colleges all across Canada.
So doctors very early on were conditioned to not give...
to give vaccine exemption letters.
They were not allowed to treat patients with COVID-19 with early treatments.
And if they spoke up about COVID-19 vaccine injuries or deaths, they were persecuted.
They were dragged through hearings.
It's happening right now.
Doctors are still being dragged through kangaroo court hearings.
They're having their licenses suspended.
And these regulatory bodies are really going after them.
And And so this was a very communist-style crackdown.
I'd seen this before, but it's shocking that you see it before your eyes happening in Canada, and there's nothing that any of us can do about it.
The provincial governments are on board.
A lot of the provincial governments are pushing this, and they're trying to go even more draconian.
Right now in British Columbia...
They've just passed a bill called Bill 36, where doctors now have, as a condition of their licensing, forced vaccinations.
And they will be forced to take COVID vaccines.
If we get mRNA vaccines for influenza or flu, they will be forced to take those as a condition of keeping their medical license and staying with nurses.
And if they speak up about COVID-19 vaccine injuries or deaths, they could face up to $200,000 in fines or six months imprisonment.
Thank you.
Well, I'm going to lose my career if I don't take the vaccine.
They take the vaccine.
They lose their life or they have an incident flying the plane and maybe the co-pilot is able to take it down.
But now their career is over.
I've talked to an orthopedic surgeon who got the vaccine.
And now he's got tremors and he can't operate anymore.
And he's gone to doctors and the doctors are afraid to talk about it.
He said, I wouldn't even treat him.
He said, I finally got a doctor who would treat me.
But he said, we're not going to talk about what caused this.
And the two of them know.
I mean, that's how they have corrupted this, how they have imposed immediately from top down this Soviet system.
And that's one of the things, you know, as you pointed out, coming from Czechoslovakia before it was opened up and Ardor Pulaski, another fellow Canadian.
You guys have seen this.
And the people who are willing to fight against this and put their life on the line are the people who have seen what it's like to live under this system.
So many Americans and Canadians and Australians have not lived under this system.
They don't believe it could ever be imposed, and they close their eyes to it being imposed on us right now.
They have absolutely no clue about what's going on, and they won't fight it.
They'll go along with it. That's what's sad.
I think Canadians, there are a lot of Canadians who are enamored with the idea of socialism.
There's a lot of Canadians on the left.
They support the Trudeau Liberal government or they support the provincial NDP governments.
And they're just enamored with this idea of socialism and socialism.
You know, equality, and they have no idea what socialism is like when it's actually implemented.
You know, these people have never stood in bread lines.
They've never faced shortages like we faced.
I remember as a child, I was put to stand in bread lines for hours, or if something came to a supermarket, you know, whether it was toilet paper or something, you stood there, you know, for hours and hours.
I know, very bad story, yeah.
Because even if you didn't need it, you could barter it out, right, with somebody.
Exactly. They've got something, if I can get it now.
How old were you when you got out of there with your family?
I was nine years old.
Wow. Yeah, that's old enough to remember exactly what it's like.
You've got on your Substack, and is the name of your Substack COVID Intel Substack?
Is that, what is it? Will people find you if they look your name up?
It's called COVID Intel.
It's easily found at macismd.substack.com.
Okay, good. macsmd.substack.com.
But in the article, you talk about how much by age bracket from 30 years old to 40 years old to 50 years old.
You point out at 50 years old, it was two-fold higher for doctors.
doctor's deaths under age 45 fold higher under age 38 fold higher.
And as these news organizations, Dr. Makis are telling us that it's not the it's long COVID.
It's not the vaccine.
That statistic flies in the face of all the statistics that were giving us throughout the boosting stage of this pandemic, showing how it was all skewed to the older.
Now all of a sudden we got all these excess deaths, as you pointed out, there's unknown cause and yet it's all skewed to younger people.
Isn't that interesting?
Exactly.
It doesn't fit.
You know, initially people attacked me and said, well, you know, doctors died all the time before and you know, you have no data, no evidence to compare to.
And we had then assembled a team of volunteers that have spent hundreds of hours really collecting data from official sources, medical associations throughout Canada of doctors who died.
And we've looked back for the past four years and So that we could actually compare to a pre-pandemic year and then a pandemic year and then, of course, the first two years of the vaccine.
And we'd assembled a database of over 2,200 doctor deaths, all causes.
We looked at it.
We've analyzed it.
And if you look at 2022, the overall excess mortality of Canadian doctors is 53% excess mortality compared to 2019.
And as you mentioned, this is heavily skewed towards the younger doctors.
So it's actually the younger doctors that are dying in much higher numbers.
You know, everybody under the age of 50, it was twofold.
But if you look at under the age of 30, it's 900% higher, the mortality in year 2022 compared to 2019.
And it's the young medical students and the young residents who were forced to take two or three COVID-19 vaccines just to be able to stay in medical school and finish their medical degree.
These are the ones who are coming down with, you know, the most severe injuries.
And they're the ones who are dying at the highest rate.
And, you know, this is what's alarming to me because I remember as a medical resident, I was forced to take the H1N1 vaccine during, you know, the swine flu in 2009.
And I was forced to take it again to be able to stay in medical school.
And there was no option given.
They basically said, here's where you're going to line up.
You're going to take it. And that's final.
So I can sympathize with the coercive nature of this, these vaccine mandates, which have been forced on young people.
And throughout, you know, all the universities, all the colleges have rolled out these aggressive, unscientific vaccine mandates.
Even if you're studying remotely, you know, you had to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
It was completely nonsense.
There was no medical basis to it.
And now we're starting to see sudden deaths in younger and younger people.
I just reported on my sub stack 10 Canadians ages 20 or 21 died suddenly last month alone in January, just in one month.
10 died suddenly.
You know, some of these were obviously, you know, college students or university students who were forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
Or they were athletes who were forced to take the vaccines in order to continue playing sports or access facilities.
So the deaths are in the younger and younger groups.
Now it's starting to reach into the high schools where we're seeing sudden deaths in high school aged kids.
And it's just absolutely horrifying to see.
And, you know, even as we have, I've got here a story of New York City and how they're selling off their excess PPE equipment and things like that that they bought.
They got hundreds of millions of dollars of that stuff.
They're selling it for less than a penny.
You know, they're selling it for about a quarter of a percent of what they paid for it.
As that's happening, as people are, you know, taking off – Walensky says, well, we don't want to get rid of the mask, but, you know, unfortunately – That's what she said.
Unfortunately, all the cities are green and yellow, so we can't mandate the masks.
But as this is all pulling back and there's talk of whether they will do it or not, ending the emergency, they're still keeping it in the colleges as a requirement.
And you're talking about how this is coming after the young people.
That's one of the most cynical aspects of this.
Absolutely no justification for this.
Nobody sees this as an issue anymore.
And yet they're still keeping those mandates there.
And you're still seeing, and that may be one of the reasons why you're seeing this escalate with the younger people.
And they can't cover it up with the younger people because they can't explain away as a comorbidity.
They don't have any comorbidities.
They're young.
They're healthy.
And so when they die, people want to know what's going on.
Why is this happening at an unprecedented rate?
Well, what's insane about all this is how they are not just the medical schools, but just colleges in general, coursing the kids to get vaccines in order to not even just to play sports, but even to attend the school.
It's insane. Exactly.
We had a university, Western University in London, Ontario, here in Canada.
Which had implemented a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the first two doses, but they were the first university to implement a vaccine mandate for the booster shots as well.
And then one of their students, 20-year-old Spencer Cornelis, died suddenly in October.
Then another student, Megha Thakur, died suddenly on November 24th, 2022.
And she was a TikTok influencer.
She had millions and millions of views.
And her death was really heavily publicized.
She had actually come out and said that four months prior, once she was fully vaccinated, she had a heart attack that her doctors had attributed to anxiety.
They told her that it was because she had anxiety.
And four months later, she dies suddenly.
And so what we saw was the university, Western University, quietly announced a few days after her death that they are fully rescinding their COVID-19 vaccine mandates after consulting with medical professionals.
And I really believe that they didn't consult their medical professionals.
They consulted their lawyers.
And their lawyers told them, this is going to blow up in our face and we better abandon this vaccine mandate quietly and quickly.
And that's what they did.
And unfortunately, this is what it's taking.
It's taking the deaths of their own students for them to back off these insane policies.
And that's a good point, because even though Fauci has made sure that we can't come after the vaccine companies, you can come after the institutions, whether it's a corporation or an educational institution that forced you to do this, coerced you to do this, And then you were harmed for it.
And the lawsuits have already started.
And I'm glad to see that.
There needs to be much more of that.
But the amazing thing, Dr.
Makis, is the fact that As I was saying, you've got the CBS News and then its local affiliates are putting out these propaganda pieces and they're talking about how this is affecting young adults.
It's forced their hand because they can't explain it away any other way.
So now they've got to come back and their alibi now is long COVID. Or they actually, in these news reports, they say, well...
We've had a lot of people that have been under stress because they couldn't go to...
They're depressed. They're not exercising.
So this is why young people are dying suddenly.
It's just beyond belief.
It's the same in Canada as in the U.S. I'm seeing the same stories.
So, for example, I saw a CBS interview...
Where they were talking about a huge increase in heart attacks and deaths in young people ages 25 to 44 years old.
And they had an expert on who was...
I believe she was the wife of the World Cup announcer who had died suddenly at the age of 48 at the World Cup.
And she herself is a doctor.
She's an infectious disease specialist.
And she's actually a COVID advisor for the Biden administration.
And she was there at this interview saying, well, you know, we don't know what's causing these sudden deaths.
It could be, you know, it could be long COVID.
You know, maybe people didn't get to the gym and maybe it was stress.
And you could tell the reporters were twisting themselves every which way possible to find any kind of excuse for these deaths in young people other than the vaccine.
The vaccine was not mentioned during the entire interview.
Yeah.
And we've had the same issue here in Canada on the reporting.
We had CBC reporting on over 10,000 excess deaths in Alberta.
And they said, well, you know what?
We're actually undercounting COVID deaths.
It's probably from COVID. It's probably from long COVID. Maybe the opioid crisis.
Maybe drug addiction. And it's this idea of anything but the vaccine.
That's right. And they will not, literally, they will not mention the word vaccine in any of their reporting.
Yeah, that was what was, I guess, a little bit surprising is the fact that you...
It's not the vaccine, by the way, just in case you get...
You know, it is really crazy.
Now, they're coming after you.
There's a legal threat against you, as you spoke out against not just the vaccines, but especially against...
The mandates. I'm looking at an article here going back to January.
Tell us what the current status of that.
That was January of a year ago.
They've been coming after you for quite a while.
You said that you had some disputes with them prior to that based on what they were doing with the research and the fact that they wanted you to sign some NDAs about the research that was there.
But tell us the status of this, I would say, political persecution of doctors in your particular case.
In my case, they came after my cancer program before the pandemic.
When I refused a $400,000 bribe and signing a non-disclosure agreement, they came after my medical license.
They threatened my family, and then they ended up suspending my medical license.
And this was just before the pandemic.
Now, once the pandemic hit and I started speaking out, they actually filed emergency injunction applications with the courts to have me silenced and to have my charter rights to freedom of expression suspended.
They actually asked a judge in court to suspend my charter rights to freedom of expression.
The judge said, look, this is ridiculous.
We can't do that.
And so the judge threw the case out.
This was in 2020.
And so they had to abandon it.
I've been getting threatening letters from them.
When I stood up against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in our province for health care workers, I co-wrote a letter to the head official of Alberta Health Services.
And I get back a threatening letter from the college saying, we're putting this on your record and we'll give you a chance to rescind your letter.
But otherwise, it's going to be on your permanent record.
So, you know, this persecution is happening to any doctor who has spoken up during the pandemic, who's spoken up about especially COVID-19 vaccine injuries and deaths.
There's a number of doctors who are being currently persecuted in Alberta and British Columbia in Ontario.
You know, we had three doctors in Ontario who, you know, the college had a big hearing.
It was publicized and they suspended their medical licenses for either writing vaccine exemption letters or trying to treat their patients with early treatments.
So the colleges are very, very aggressively going after doctors.
But as you mentioned, the health authorities have also gone after Christian pastors here in Alberta.
Pastor Arthur Pawlowski, for example, the lawyers, the Alberta Health Services lawyers...
are the same lawyers that have gone after me.
These are the same group of individuals that are persecuting Christian pastors as well.
And I believe in Alberta, the purpose of that was actually to damage the conservative government and to essentially bring down the conservative government, destroy its popularity.
Because what's very interesting is our healthcare system is run by individuals who are allied to the Trudeau liberal government, the federal government.
And so there's actually, they kind of do their own thing.
You know, they get $20 billion every year from the government.
And these are bureaucrats.
These are unelected bureaucrats who are making the decisions for healthcare in our province.
And they sent these lawyers to persecute Christian pastors.
They blamed it on the conservative provincial government, which, you know, didn't stop this persecution from happening.
And it brought down the government of Jason Kenney, which was a conservative government, because ultimately it was blamed on him.
He didn't stop the persecution of Christian pastors during the pandemic.
Yeah, he deserves the blame.
He deserves to be gone because he stood down and stood by, I guess, as Trump would say.
But now you've got the new premier that's there.
Is her name Danielle Smith?
Is that her name? Danielle Smith.
Yeah, yeah. She's made some interesting statements talking about, you know, what's going on with these people taking marching orders, essentially.
That's not her term, you know, but essentially talking about we've got some strange things happening here with people who are connected to Davos.
What is your take so far as to she's been there for a few months now?
What is your take?
Have things really changed in Alberta?
Has she put forward any ideas of how they might reform this to make sure this type of thing stops and never happens again?
It's very interesting because as soon as she became premier, she put out this statement and really an apology to the unvaccinated, saying that the unvaccinated were the most persecuted group that she had ever seen in her lifetime, which was a correct statement, and she was crucified in the media for it.
And so she's come out.
She's wanted to reform these big, corrupt healthcare institutions like Alberta Health Services or the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.
She said she would dissolve the college, the medical board that's persecuting doctors who are speaking up about COVID vaccine injuries and deaths.
Unfortunately, we are very close to an election.
She has advisors who probably represent the wealthy in Calgary and Edmonton who are telling her, don't rock the boat, don't make any radical changes because we want to win this election that's coming up in May of 2023.
So she hasn't really done any major changes.
The problem is that the vaccine injuries and deaths continue.
Our Alberta Health Services is still rolling out the vaccines in kids as young as six months old.
They're still rolling out the vaccines in pregnant women.
They're still pressuring people to get their second booster shot, third booster shot.
Our doctors... In order to be fully up to date on their COVID vaccines, I'd have to have at least four shots.
Four COVID-19 vaccines.
And, you know, within a couple of months, they will have to have their fifth.
That's amazing. I mean, can't they see, you know, have they changed this from fully vaccinated to, well, up to date?
Because it's never going to end.
We're going to keep boosting you until you die.
It's just amazing to me.
And it is so sad to see when politicians do that type of thing.
I understand. I used to work for a guy who used to say, well, Trump can't do this because he's playing 40 chess.
He's got to get reelected. It's like, so what?
What's the purpose of this if you're going to let people die, right?
If you've got people, if they're injecting kids who are six months old, if they're injecting pregnant women, if people are continuing to die, you're going to let that happen so you can get reelected?
You're going to eviscerate the people who would actively support you.
You're going to eviscerate that base of people who would vigorously support her.
They rightfully see that as a sellout.
Because if you say to somebody, well, you know, it's more important for me to win.
When you make that kind of agreement, then guess what?
There's going to be something else that happens after you win the election, and you're going to be offered that Faustian bargain, and you're going to take it.
And every time you make that choice, it's going to be easier the next time.
That's what Solzhenitsyn was talking about when he said, let's not live by lies, right?
You start to live by that lie and it becomes a way of life.
It's so sad to see that happen.
And unfortunately, the conservative governments in Canada, whether they were provincial conservative governments or the federal government, they went all in on the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines as well.
And in fact, they also went all in on COVID-19 vaccine mandates, on the lockdowns.
So they're now in a position where they could admit that they were wrong, that they made a mistake.
And they could start backtracking, but they're too afraid to do so.
They don't want any accountability.
So what they're doing instead, and I've noticed this both at the provincial level in Alberta, but also the federal level, the federal conservatives that are trying to overthrow Justin Trudeau, is that they will not say a word about the COVID-19 vaccines, about vaccine injuries, about vaccine deaths because they are afraid that there's not enough support in canada for them to be able to come out and actually admit that they were wrong
and that you know they will go in a different direction so they're kind of like you said they've made this faustian bargain they went all in on the covet 19 vaccines and now they really can't admit that they made a huge mistake uh and that they were basically as bad as the liberals when it came to the vaccines and mandates oh yeah yeah they own it now And they're afraid that that's going to be applied to them.
And so you see this happening, same thing happening in every country.
And you see it happening regardless of what the political party is.
They all joined in on this thing.
They promoted it. They have been very careful to compartmentalize it.
And when you see Rand Paul coming after Fauci, he criticizes him for creating vaccine hesitancy.
Or he talks about, well, where did the COVID start in your gain-of-function research?
But he won't talk about the vaccine.
Or he'll talk about natural immunity, but he won't attack the vaccine as being dangerous.
And so they're all on board with this to one degree or the other.
And I don't really know.
I mean, what do you think the way out is for this?
Because now these guys, they really do feel like, because they know that they bought into this thing, They don't want to have the kind of liability that's going to come with a confession, so they're not going to confess it.
They're going to protect each other and protect themselves.
How do we pull this thing out, in your opinion?
Well, from what I see is in Canada, the provincial health authorities, the public health authorities, you know, for now they're trying to sweep all these COVID vaccine injuries and deaths under the rug.
In fact, you know, when I actually did a short interview with Laurel and Tyler Thompson, where I highlighted that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario was actually advising its doctors to treat their unvaccinated as mentally ill and put them on psychiatric where I highlighted that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario was actually advising its doctors Now, that interview went viral in the States and Canadians got angry and rightfully so.
And apparently they flooded the colleges with thousands of angry letters.
They really frightened the authorities.
And then what happened was the college actually closed their doors to the public and said, you know, we're now afraid because the public is angry.
And I think, you know, really it's the public has to push back.
The public has to push back on the mandates.
It has to push back. I mean, there's still COVID-19 vaccine mandates in healthcare.
You know, doctors, nurses are still being pressured to take the shots.
You know, they're going to have to push back at some point because you cannot keep taking these shots every three months or every six months.
You know, you're now on your fourth shot.
Soon you're going to have to take your fifth shot.
Doctors are getting injured. Doctors are dying.
You know, Canadian doctors have an excess mortality in 2022 of 53% overall.
This is, you know, overall excess mortality.
And we're seeing this excess mortality in all the highly COVID-19 vaccinated jurisdictions.
We're seeing it in the United States.
Edward Dodd is talking about this, the former BlackRock hedge fund manager.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, the first insurance company that we saw talk about that was One America out of Indiana.
And the guy says, you know, this is like, this is so many standard deviations from the mean.
This is like once in, you know, two or three hundred year event.
We can't, this just doesn't fit with our analysis.
But he comes out and he says, Dr.
Makis, he says, but we know that they must be dying of COVID. And even though it says it's not COVID, We're good to go.
He's got to be the public. If we make a lot of noise about this, these politicians and these institutions typically don't hear from the public.
And it scares them if they get a massive letter-writing campaign.
I've said it before, even in North Carolina, the homeschooling organization there, the big teachers union, wanted to ban it.
And the homeschoolers started a letter-writing campaign and pushed back and stopped this in a state that was...
Run by Democrats who were allied with that big teachers union.
If they hear from enough people, it's going to scare them.
And if they don't hear from us, they'll be emboldened to continue to do this and to go further.
And so that's the key.
It really does rest with us, doesn't it?
I believe so. And I think the Conservatives in Canada, they are paying attention.
I've spoken to a number of Conservative politicians who privately told me, we can't talk about it right now, but if there's enough people that start speaking up and pushing back, then we will have to get on the bandwagon, so to speak, and really embrace the topic.
And it's a very serious issue because The amount of COVID-19 vaccine injuries is just astronomical.
We saw data sets coming out of the United States showing that 10%, 15% of all the people who took COVID-19 vaccines were suffering serious enough side effects and injuries that they needed hospitalization or they needed medical attention.
So these are large numbers of people.
These are not rare events.
And so if everyone starts speaking out, I think the politicians will have no choice but to notice and to start addressing it.
And ultimately, politicians want to get elected.
And if they see that this is something that they really do have to address and address it honestly, I think we could see some changes.
Well, it's so big that they can't cover this up forever.
And you've got doctors, as you point out, 53% excess mortality rate.
Out of this, the doctors at some point in time have to realize that they've got to stop playing Russian roulette with this thing because their life is on the line.
And these politicians need to understand that their career is on the line.
And they need to not be the last rat to jump off of this sinking ship, but they need to lead the parade.
And if they do, some of the stuff that they did is going to be forgiven and forgotten.
But if they fight this stuff to the end, That's when it's going to be really dangerous for them.
Well, it's always great talking to people who have stood up to this tyranny, and this really is a fight for the survival of our civilization and for us as individuals.
Thank you so much for what you've done, Dr.
Makus. Thank you. Thank you very much for having me.
And, of course, people can find you again.
The substack is COVIDIntel, is that correct?
Yes, it's macismd.substack.com.
Okay, great. Thank you so much for joining us.
We'll be right back after a short break, folks.
Stay with us. And let me pull one of these things up.
Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Appreciate it.
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.
I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to go.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
All right, I want to thank some of the people who have left tips and comment on Rockfin and on Rumble.
On Rockfin, we have Trevor Reinhart.
Thank you for the tip, Trevor.
He says, thank you for all you do, David.
Listening to you has definitely helped me keep sane over the last few years.
Well, good. Thank you. Thank you for the tip, Eric. Thank you for the tip, Eric.
Thanks for being a light to truth and Christ in these difficult days.
By the way, I've been a Wolfpack member for a few months now.
Tony is a great man.
Absolutely. My opinion as well.
Thank you. Rumble, the new number six.
Thank you for the tip. He says, I spoke to John Bodoin on The New Prisoners recently here on Rumble.
His work with death certificates in Massachusetts implicates the mRNA shot and remdesivir as a cause of thousands of deaths.
Yes, that's another scam.
Oh, boy. I've talked about that for so many times.
Fauci putting out, after one week after a Chinese peer-reviewed study appeared on World Health Organization, and they took it down within a couple of hours.
One week later, Fauci puts up his unpeered-reviewed study, and he says, even though the data shows that it didn't help anybody in terms of, you know, survival, he says, yes, but...
It's a standard of care.
And he didn't make it about people getting cured.
He said, well, the people who survived, and there were no more people who survived it than the control group who didn't, the people who survived got better 30% faster.
I mean, that's nonsense.
Absolute nonsense. He had tried to push that thing through with HIV. He tried to push it through with Ebola.
It had been rejected both times because it was so toxic and it didn't do anything.
And so their patent was about to expire.
He got that rammed through for them.
It's absolutely amazing.
Before we run out of time, I want to play for you a little bit of the sample that I was talking about, how CBS is pushing this lie about how heart attacks in young adults.
Oh, no, it's not the vaccine.
This is the national report.
I'll play a little bit of it for you. It's too long to play the whole thing, but I'll play a little bit of it for you.
Heart attack deaths have become more common across all age groups since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
But a recent study found that young people are actually most at risk in this case.
According to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, the number of heart attack deaths among 25 to 44-year-olds in the U.S. over the first two years of the pandemic was 30 percent higher than predicted.
Dr. Selene Gounder is here on set with us to talk more about it.
She's editor-at-large for Public Health at Kaiser Health News, and she is also...
Yeah, at Kaiser Health.
Yeah, brought to you by Pfizer and by Kaiser.
It almost rhymes, doesn't it? All right, and now that's...
So they run this thing, and she talks about, oh, the young people, you know, We're good to go.
We've been covering a surge in heart attacks in young adults across the U.S. since the pandemic hit.
These new findings come from a study from a hospital in L.A. Jatyra Marsh interviewed a local health professional to see if we're also seeing these types of emergencies here.
Jatyra. Brennan, we sure are.
Dr. Chris Kove with UR Medicine cardiac cancer.
Can't deny young people are dying.
Heart attack....is an alarming thing to witness, and we are seeing an increase because of COVID. The pandemic has created long-lasting effects related to less access to health care, job loss, food insecurity, and additional stress.
Kove says these effects seem to have hit younger adults harder than what was once a rare occurrence is now happening more.
He breaks down how COVID comes into play to cause a heart attack.
Increases overall inflammation, which stimulates, you know, growth of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels and increases risk of heart attacks.
So acutely, when somebody's acutely sick with COVID, it clearly increases the risk of blood clots.
So that's one aspect of it.
That's one aspect of the vaccines.
COVID probably causes this inflammation response.
We know patients with chronic inflammations have higher incidence of heart attacks.
COVID stresses the vaccine has nothing to do with the increase of heart attacks.
It encourages everyone to continue to get vaccinated.
Brennan, back to you. Isn't that amazing?
How do these people sleep at night?
Do they realize the blood on their hands?
It's absolutely amazing. All this stuff about the blood clots and other things like that.
Do you remember when they first started rolling out the Johnson& Johnson?
Four different locations, four different states, four dozen people immediately passed out.
They had to put the thing on hold and they said, no, there's not any increase in blood clots and there's nothing weird about these blood clots at all.
We looked at it, and we only found eight cases of women.
So it only affects women of a certain age, and that was extremely rare.
We had like six or eight cases out of six million people, they said.
Well, that wasn't true. They had over 800 cases were already in the VAERS database when they put that out.
They don't even try very hard to lie to us, do they?
And yet, as all this is happening, as they're keeping on these vaccine mandates, this was sent to me by Copper King.
Thank you, listener.
More than $200 million in New York City purchased COVID gear auctioned off for only a half a million dollars.
And so you've got 18 wheelers pulling up again and again to the city of New York's huge supply warehouse in Queens to pick up dozens of unopened cartons containing what, during the depths of the pandemic, City Hall proclaimed would be life-saving miracle devices.
Things like bridge vents.
Bill de Blasio commissioned 3,000 of these breathing devices.
As backups for the ventilators that kept sick patients alive.
No, these ventilators were killing people left and right.
That's the other part of it.
Here's the reality.
There isn't any long COVID. COVID wasn't a threat to people who didn't have comorbidities.
What was a threat to them was this barbaric health care that was focused on making money and making a pandemic and not helping anybody.
That was what was a threat to them.
The medical communities, these gigantic corporations running these hospitals, that was the threat to them.
This primitive barbaric medication.
Pulmonologists looking at this thing, what?
What are you doing? What are you doing with this ventilator?
It doesn't make any sense. And they're still selling a part of that lie, but they're complaining about the cost now.
Taxpayers paid $12 million for the devices.
A junk dealer from Long Island picked up the entire $12 million, 500,000-pound kit and caboodle for only $24,600.
It took the dealer 28 truckloads to cart the stuff away, says the auction.
Well, maybe he'll be able to just set it aside and sell all this stuff back to China or to New York City.
With the next phony pandemic.
Gowns, face shields, hand sanitizers, KN95 masks, N95 masks.
The department decided that these are no longer needed.
Many of these supplies remain in their original packaging and are brand new, but as this is happening, you've got the Democrats fighting tooth and nail to keep these mandates and other things like that in there.
Why, when they are selling this stuff to junk dealers out the door, why are they fighting...
For all the mandates and all the rest of the stuff because it was political from the very beginning.
It was never medical. It was never science.
It was never medicine. It was political.
And as we look with politics, that's all about waste.
Now we have massive political waste.
$224 million in COVID-related contracts in just New York City alone going out the door for less than $200,000.
I'm sorry, $500,000.
Much of this big sell-off is occurring because de Blasio waived the usual good government oversight of city contracts at the start of the pandemic.
Former city comptroller Scott Stringer, whose job was to make sure the city gets what it's paying for, was sidelined.
His successor this month, the new comptroller, issued a report saying that despite the pandemic, city agencies still had the responsibility to vet the credibility of vendors.
What they did was they applied essentially the Cheney-Halliburton approach to it.
No-bid contracts.
The corruption was rampant from the beginning.
Everything about this has been rampant corruption, transfer of wealth and political power to a few elites.
And of course, the doctors at some point need to understand, just as Dr.
Makis was pointing out, still mandating these things for these doctors?
Look, there is no end to this.
The world's most famous doctor, Dr.
Bill Gates, said that by 2030, everyone, everywhere, every age, every profession will get every vaccine.
Thank you for joining us.
Show, we've got a problem.
Oh, what? 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 what it's scatly, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm being 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.
