	The End to free minds You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 21st of March, year of our Lord, 2023.
	three.
	Day 1104 of the ongoing emergency.
	And they are still denying transplants to people.
	It's amazing. Although nobody is wearing masks, although Biden has said it's over, but he hasn't gotten rid of the emergency, you still have these types of actions being taken.
	They are drawing up Plans to track every aspect of our travel.
	But we're going to begin today with Fauci actually going on the streets of Washington, D.C. where he is not talking to sycophant press.
	He's talking to people.
	And he gets ratioed, shut down, big time.
	We're going to start with that.
	And then we're going to start with perhaps a solution at the state level to CBDC. Something that DeSantis talked about, but nobody wants to talk about that.
	They only want to talk about Trump.
	We'll be right back. Well, as I said, it is pretty interesting. There's a PBS TV show called American Masters.
	Was that a Freudian slip or was that intentional?
	Yes, Fauci sees himself as Master of America.
	So does Bowser.
	And every time I say, woof, woof, Bowser.
	Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C. So for this PBS TV show, They went door to door to try to get people to take the shots.
	Now, it's a poor neighborhood.
	These people are probably getting their news through CNN. I doubt that they are paying much attention to alternative media.
	They're going to see that as a Republican thing.
	But listen to the responses that he gets from some of these people.
	What are we going to do about those other states?
	Oh my God. They're going to keep the outbreak smoldering in the country.
	It's so crazy.
	I mean, they're not doing it because they say they don't want to do it.
	They're Republicans. They don't like to be told what to do.
	Yeah, they're Republicans. We've got to break that, you know, unpack that.
	How you guys doing with vaccines?
	Yeah, we've got to break that.
	They're Republicans. They don't like to be told what to do.
	I'm their American master.
	I tell them what to do.
	We've got to break them. We've got to do it with chaos and with disruption.
	And we do it from the inside and we do it iteratively, even if it means we've got to go door to door.
	Well, guess what? These people are not Republicans.
	They're black Democrats in Washington, D.C. Give me a break.
	And then, this is another one.
	It doesn't cure it, and it doesn't stop you from getting it.
	On the very, very, very rare chance that you do get it, even if you're vaccinated, you don't even feel sick.
	It's like you don't even know you got infected.
	It's very, very good at protecting you.
	Yeah, right. Yeah. One lie after that.
	He can't. The guy has absolutely no credibility.
	Even with people on Black Democrats who are probably watching CNN. But guess what?
	They heard it through the grapevine, as Marvin Gaye would say.
	These people got street smarts.
	Listen to this guy. This guy takes on both Fauci and the mayor.
	He ought to be mayor of Washington, D.C. Listen to this.
	The people in America are not settled with the information that's been given to us right now.
	So I'm not going to be lining up taking a shot on a vaccination for something.
	Look at her staring at him.
	And then we won't create a shot in a miraculous time.
	It takes years to create vaccinations.
	Well, it used to take years.
	Yeah, but we redefined that.
	We're invested in this approach.
	About 20 years of science to get us to be able to do it.
	20 years is not enough. And nine months is definitely not enough for nobody to be taking no vaccination that you all came up with.
	The only reason I'm talking to you right now, as close as we are, is that I've been vaccinated.
	Right. But if a lot of thousands of people like you don't get vaccinated, you're going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world.
	Something like the common flu then, right?
	It's much more serious than the flu.
	Well, the flu kills a lot of people annually, too.
	Do you know how many people died of the flu the last year?
	Do you, Fauci? Virtually none.
	But the previous year, 20,000 to 30,000.
	You know how many people have died from COVID-19 in the United States?
	600,000 Americans.
	Well, the number that you are given that died, that's, once again, that's you all's number.
	That's your number. Definitely.
	Because when you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, there's something else going on with that.
	That's right.
	It is something going on with that.
	You're right. But I'm glad millions of people, like me and most everybody here, didn't get an incentive.
	You know what their incentive was?
	Protecting their health and protecting the city.
	But I won't keep doing it anymore.
	It's okay, because my campaign is about fear.
	He's not done yet....inciting fear in people.
	You all attack people with fear.
	That's what this pandemic is.
	Yeah. Oh, he nailed him.
	He nailed him! I love that.
	Yeah, this is about fear.
	You're selling nothing but fear. That's your number.
	I don't have any trust in you.
	I don't have any trust. We've got cases here.
	We've got numbers here.
	He knows. He knows.
	He's got a BS detector that is working full-time.
	I thought it was interesting when...
	He started talking about time and Fauci said, tried to make an excuse for it.
	He says, do you know how many years were invested in this approach?
	You notice it doesn't say this vaccine.
	It doesn't say we spent years testing and developing this vaccine.
	We tested it for years for efficacy and safety.
	Now, of course, they never did that.
	He said in October 2019, how do we get around taking 10 years to get these things out, testing them for safety and efficacy?
	Well, you know, we do it with disruption.
	We do it from the inside.
	We do it iteratively. Yeah, it's an approach.
	It's not any, the whole approach, the whole germ game.
	He was right, too.
	He said, yeah, we spent about 20 years doing this.
	And it goes back to dark winter.
	This is a psychological approach.
	This is a political approach.
	This is a tyrannical approach.
	This isn't testing the safety and efficacy of this.
	This is testing you.
	Testing you to see if you will go along with their power trip.
	And of course you will if Trump is president, right?
	No problem. It's amazing to me, as we can't talk about CBDC, Or we look at any of the other issues, the green agenda to take everything from us, the great reset, the war in Ukraine.
	None of this stuff is important to Republicans now.
	It's only what's happening to Trump.
	Is he going to get perp-walked?
	Is he going to get convicted?
	I'm so upset about that Soros DA. All we want to talk about, you don't care about CBDC? None of this stuff.
	We don't care about a complete reset and takedown of the financial system.
	We don't care that we were locked down under Trump.
	That he defied the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
	We don't care about that.
	All we care about is our politics.
	But, you know, for once, Fauci told the truth.
	We've worked on this approach for 20 years.
	And we got you.
	We even put a guy that the right wing would trust in, Trump.
	They got it complete.
	Well, the guy said, 20 years is not enough.
	Nine months is definitely not enough.
	Where anybody would be taking a vaccine that y'all came up with.
	And then Bowser said, the only reason I'm talking to you right now, as close as we are, is because I've been vaccinated.
	Well, she told me that she's vaccinated.
	I say, back off a little bit.
	Don't want you that close to me.
	She said, but, listen, this is the thing.
	If thousands of people like you, and you saw the contempt and the hatred that she had for him throughout that video, just amazing.
	Daggers, you know, the whole time.
	If thousands of people like you Don't get vaccinated.
	You're going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world.
	You see, you are the danger.
	You are the virus.
	You must be contained, controlled, tracked, tested.
	See, that's the whole mindset.
	We've got to destroy that.
	We've got to destroy that mindset.
	We've got to attack it directly.
	We've got to also attack this whole idea about safety.
	As I've said before, there is no life without liberty.
	If you're going to lock me down to keep me safe, might as well just go ahead and kill me right now.
	We've got to get over this idea that we can purchase our safety with our liberty.
	No, that just makes you a slave.
	They're trying to enslave these people.
	They know better. Person after person, door to door.
	They shut them down.
	Again, they heard it through the grapevine.
	They didn't hear it on mainstream media.
	And so, yeah, Fauci with his BS numbers.
	That's your numbers, he said.
	But again, you know, coming out, Fauci said, they're not doing it because they don't want to.
	They're Republicans, and they don't like being told what to do.
	That's right. You know, Fauci, we don't do things that we don't want to do.
	And you're not our American master.
	And these people weren't Republicans.
	You see, the thing is, like all Americans, these black people in Washington, D.C., and I say that they're Democrats, most likely, because unless they are, what is it, 3%, 4% of people vote Republican in Washington, D.C., maybe they found all 3% to 4%, all right there in one neighborhood, right?
	No, look, it doesn't matter if you're white or black, Republican or Democrat.
	Americans, he's right.
	Fauci's right about that as well.
	We don't like being told what to do.
	We don't like being forced to do things that we don't want to do.
	We don't like your medical martial law.
	I called it that from day one, and I was attacked for calling it medical martial law.
	That's exactly what this is.
	They don't like being told what to do.
	We've got to break that, said Fauci.
	Well, you're not going to break me, and you're not going to break a lot of people, and you're not going to break those people either.
	That guy was not done with you, Fauci.
	You walked away. He broke you.
	You didn't break him.
	Son of a gun.
	Why is Fauci not in jail?
	Why are the Republicans not putting him and Trump in jail?
	For this. They're going to talk about his prostitute payoffs and stuff like that.
	Why? Just like with Bill Clinton.
	Ken Starr didn't want to talk about the massive corruption.
	He didn't want to talk about the sexual violence, the rapes, the rest of this stuff.
	Yeah, Republicans don't want to talk about Trump's Epstein connections and all the rest of this stuff.
	They want to pretend that he's squeaky clean.
	There's absolutely nothing there. But look...
	Trump needs to be perp walked.
	He needs to... You got an arrest warrant out there for Putin?
	You know, you look at all the people who died in Ukraine.
	That's a small fraction of the people that Trump killed with his vaccines that he's so proud of.
	You want to get...
	You know, you want to get a warrant from The Hague for a political leader?
	Get it for Trump based on the vaccine.
	But they won't do that because all these people, all these world leaders were just like Trump.
	Every single one of them's got blood on their hands from these vaccines.
	Every single one of them deserves to go to prison for the rest of their life.
	Trump ought to be dragged off in handcuffs for what he did to people.
	And what he's still doing to people, he's still proud of what he did.
	That's son of a gun. And I can't stand anybody, and I will attack anybody in the media, I don't care who they are, who defends this son of a gun and this MAGA cult who idolizes him.
	This mass murderer, this destroyer of liberty and the Constitution in America.
	He needs to go to jail.
	Not for this. It's total BS. It's just what they did to Dennis Hastert.
	Send him to jail for a non-crime.
	Oh, you took money out of your bank in a way that we wouldn't notice and report you.
	Why would you care about that?
	Not even in your system of taxation.
	Oh, we've got to know how much money you make, so they've got to report all this stuff to us.
	And they do report everything, but special reports, if it's more than a certain figure.
	And so if you're structuring your deposit, oh, maybe there's some kind of crime going on here.
	Maybe he's not paying his taxes or something like that.
	He doesn't want to have any attention.
	Well, this guy's taking money out because he doesn't want any attention about the fact that he's being blackmailed by one of his former victims.
	And so they come after Dennis Hastert for that, but not for the crime of pedophilia.
	They're going to come after Trump for all these other things, but not for the central crime.
	Why? Why? Because they're as dirty in that as he is.
	And the mainstream media isn't going to talk about that.
	Because the mainstream media and the alternative Trump media is just as dirty.
	They stood by.
	They cheered him. They talked you down.
	They told you to trust him.
	They told you that he was playing 4D chess.
	All through all of this.
	And they're just as dirty as Trump is.
	Just as dirty.
	So, yeah, maybe that's one of the reasons why these black Democrats in Washington, D.C. are so skeptical.
	They didn't have Alex Jones telling them that Donald Trump was playing 4-D chess with the vaccines.
	They saw exactly what was happening.
	So the vaccine makers are preparing bird flu.
	Shots. You got Moderna.
	You got GlaxoSmithKline and others.
	They're ready. They're ready for this bird flu thing.
	It hasn't, very, very rare, as Fauci would say, for this to go to a human.
	But they're going to be ready with this.
	And Handy sent me a PDF. Do you have that PDF? As you can show the flowchart here.
	This is a patent for patient travel and tracking it.
	Yeah, go to the first one. Go to the one that's got the diagram of page one instead of page eight.
	No, it's up at the top. Page one.
	Okay, there it is right there at the bottom.
	Sorry, it was really small on here.
	Scan down on that flowchart there at the bottom of the page so people can see this.
	And so you see what you have here is you start and you have a system.
	Oh, this person is traveling.
	Let's record where he's going.
	Let's record this on a blockchain.
	Let's tokenize the blockchain.
	Let's calculate the hazard vector.
	Let's update a status index.
	Let's provide access via portals to see whether or not it exceeds the threshold of what he should be doing.
	And then let's transmit an emergency message to haul them off to a detention center.
	You see, what this is about, this is different from the vaccine passports, right?
	The vaccine passports, we had, you know, everybody followed The flowchart.
	If they didn't use Common Pass and the common stuff that the World Economic Forum had put out there for everybody, everyone, even if they didn't call it that, they still copied the procedure and implemented it exactly as the World Economic Forum had had.
	Which was basically to say, we're going to have trusted providers.
	Who are going to give the vaccines and then they're going to transmit this information up through their national governments and their national governments will then send that to a global database.
	And then we will, when anybody wants to travel, we will give them permission or not based on whether or not they have been vaccinated and the information that we have from trusted individuals, right?
	Well, that was the vaccine passport.
	This is different. This is about provenance.
	Not God's providence, but provenance, a history of ownership, typically.
	And so, I've talked about this in the past.
	Microsoft, working for the Department of Defense, as they always do, I'm sure, put together the CCPA, the Chinese Communist Party of America.
	No, I'm sorry. It's the Coalition for Content Provenance Association.
	And authentication to shut down speech.
	To shut down speech if it's in the form of a video.
	To shut down speech if it's in the form of audio.
	To shut down speech if it's in the form of text.
	To shut down speech if it's in the form of a picture, a meme.
	And how do they do that? They put together a coalition of hardware manufacturers, CPU manufacturers like Intel and ARM. And then they worked with software creators.
	Like Adobe. And so they bring them all together to identify you.
	And to identify your computer.
	And to mark it.
	Okay? And then to track that.
	You know, this is something...
	Oh, look at this. There are other partners in it.
	Are the mainstream media shills.
	Who are flagging people for bad speech.
	And I'm sure it would also include Southern Poverty Law Center, ADL, things like that.
	And so if they see something that's out there, it's like, oh, look, I don't like what is said here.
	Who did that? Oh, David Knight.
	Okay, mark him. Take that down.
	Mark him. And from that point on, I wouldn't be able to upload anything.
	Not even upload it. It's not that you put it up there for a second.
	Other people grab it, push it around.
	No, no, no. They got to stop it before it goes up.
	And they can do that. That's about provenance.
	Tracking who did this.
	And so taking it into this sphere, we are going to look at the history of ownership.
	Because, you know, they own you.
	You're their slave.
	And you own the virus.
	You are a threat to people like that guy who took on Bowser and Fauci.
	And so that's what this is about.
	It's about tracking you.
	Another level of tracking people.
	A patient travel provenance that they have there.
	And to make sure that they can go back and keep a blockchain of everywhere everybody ever went.
	You know, just to knock on your door.
	And say, we think that you were too close to somebody that we eventually said we thought was sick or blew a positive test or something.
	So we're taking you off to detention.
	Well, then not that happened.
	Because everybody will believe that they really have that information on me.
	Well, I'm not sick and I didn't see anybody that was sick, but they say I did it and they're tracking everybody.
	And you know, it's science. It's science.
	So I guess I just have to go along, you know, to protect the hive.
	You know, that type. Or the herd.
	The herd immunity. You don't hear me talking about herd immunity anymore, do you?
	Yeah, by all accounts, we have herd immunity.
	Even if you just look at their number of people that they have vaccinated over and over and over again.
	Those cattle have herd immunity.
	Those cattle don't have to worry about it.
	Again, you know, the only thing that guy didn't say is like, well, okay, you got your vaccine.
	You feel safe with me now.
	So why are we having this conversation?
	You think your vaccine works?
	You think you can get close to me because you had the vaccine?
	Fine. That's your opinion.
	I don't share it, but go away.
	Leave me alone. If you can get close to me and you don't have to worry because you got a vaccine and you think it works, Well, then we don't have anything else to say here.
	So, one current outbreak of avian flu, and they've got a strain now.
	H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b.
	Wow, that sounds really scientific.
	I'm impressed. It's got like numbers and decimal points and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's killed a record number of birds.
	Human cases, however, remain very rare.
	But it doesn't matter because there's money to be made.
	And so Moderna and GlaxoSmithKline are right there, already have developed stuff to give to humans because, you know, we've got to be proactive about all these pandemics and all these germ games.
	Bill Gates wants a global fire department for pandemics.
	I imagine it's going to be something like Fahrenheit 451.
	That kind of fire department.
	So he wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times saying things like this, a well-funded system that is ready to spring into action at a moment's notice when danger emerges.
	Well, he's the world's doctor because he owns the World Health Organization pretty much.
	Major contributor to that.
	Owns it, literally. He endorsed his organization, the WHO's effort to create a network of top organizations Help emergency leaders.
	And of course, he wants to run this through.
	He gives them as much money more.
	He gives more than virtually any other country.
	We may be giving more now again than Bill Gates does, but just a little bit more.
	Anyway, so yeah, they want to use the World Health Organization.
	To lock us down again.
	They can't always count on having some traitorous rube like Donald Trump in place.
	You know, you might actually have somebody with a spine.
	So we have to do this from the World Health Organization.
	They've got new rules.
	New rules to make their pronouncements legally binding.
	New treaties to do all of this.
	And to make themselves the arbiter of whether or not you can travel.
	So, How to Prevent the Next Pandemic was his 2022 book.
	He said, Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization is what we need.
	It's called GERM. He's got a little acronym there, GERM. Well, you know, there are simulations that they've had as they prepared for this.
	They rehearsed this, as Fauci just said, for 20 years.
	We've been preparing this approach, not the vaccine, this approach for 20 years.
	And that was their germ games.
	As I've said before, you know, I look at this and it's like, how in the world does Fauci Get paid over $400,000.
	That's more than the president makes.
	And none of the department heads that he works under, and he works under NIH, he works under HHS, their salaries, as all of these salaries for the top people, are capped at the vice president's level, just over $200,000.
	How does Fauci get so much more?
	I said, I think he's got double dipping.
	He works for the intelligence community, just as he did with Dark Winter.
	He works for the intelligence community as well as for the pharmaceutical companies.
	Anyway, so Gates said to be successful...
	The Germ Corps, the Emergency Corps, this is interchangeable.
	Germ, emergency, germ, emergency.
	Everybody has turned into, you know, OCD. I said that from the very beginning.
	I said, look at this. America is, all of America has turned into OCD. Everybody's wearing gloves, afraid to touch the gas pumps, afraid to go out of the house, wearing masks.
	I mean, it's absolutely crazy.
	It's neurotic, and it was from the very beginning, and it remains that way.
	So the germ people, the emergency corps, the global epidemic response and mobilization must build on existing networks of experts.
	You know, experts like Bill Gates.
	And be led by people like the heads of national public health agencies and their leads for epidemic response, he said.
	So the world must take action now to make sure that COVID-19 becomes the last pandemic.
	The last pandemic.
	Yes, we will eradicate death.
	Yeah, pandemic.
	Where is thy sting?
	Pandemic, where is thy victory?
	We're going to eliminate all death and disease here.
	This is just laughable.
	Just laughable.
	Absolutely insane that people pay any attention to him.
	Insane they pay any attention to Trump as well.
	AI has now developed a cancer drug in 30 days.
	Take that, Trump. Get it even faster than you.
	Even faster than warp speed.
	And not only that. But I mean, you know, it's science, as Fauci would say.
	Yeah, trust the science.
	We got an AI expert here.
	Look at this. It's come up with a new cancer cure?
	No. Cancer treatment.
	Oh, is that going to work?
	Is that going to work as well as Fauci's remdesivir?
	Yeah, you know, it didn't cure anybody, but I think they got fast a little bit better.
	So that's going to be the standard of care.
	Look, the standard of care is to not cure anything.
	Going back to 2018, I pointed out it was widely covered by many trade magazines, business magazines.
	It was Goldman Sachs lecturing the pharmaceutical industry in 2018, said, stop curing disease.
	We had a Gilead drug that actually cured a disease.
	It was a strain of hepatitis.
	And they said they made a lot of money the first year.
	They made like $12 billion, but then it fell off a cliff because it was a contagious disease.
	And by curing it, they basically dried up the base for their drug.
	And Goldman Sachs lectured the pharmaceutical companies and said, this is not a sustainable business model.
	We can't cure disease.
	We have to treat them and keep them in a chronic condition.
	Or even better yet, they didn't say it.
	But even better yet, our drugs should give them momentary relief and then create a lot more problems.
	Many of them life-threatening, because that's what you see.
	Is that intentional?
	Well, I don't know if that's intentional, but it certainly is intentional that they don't want them to cure anything.
	And I think if they can create some new conditions that aren't going to go away, You know, don't necessarily kill them.
	Just kind of cripple them and harm them so they're constantly buying stuff from us the rest of their life.
	That's the business model. So as Goldman Sachs lecturing the pharmaceutical company about that Gilead hepatitis drug in 2018.
	So this new cancer treatment, not a cure, cancer treatment by artificial intelligence has a new treatment pathway Says Breitbart, for an aggressive form of liver cancer, designing a drug to treat it in the process.
	Again, treat it, not cure it.
	The team also deployed AI to determine a patient's life expectancy by having it analyze doctors' notes.
	Why don't you just have it look at their vaccine history?
	That's probably the best predictor, don't you think?
	Now, it doesn't matter if you're young and healthy.
	AI should be able to understand that even if you are young and healthy, that the vaccine is going to alter your life expectancy drastically.
	We'll have more of that in just a second here.
	So, the AI reportedly has...
	An 80% accuracy rate in its predictions.
	Well, who knows? Maybe it'd be 100% if it would take the vaccines into consideration.
	Look, anytime you got somebody coming up trying to tell your fortune about when you're going to die, something else that's going to happen bad to you, just reject that.
	Just reject that.
	God is in control.
	Not these people. Don't give them control by believing in their dire predictions about your life.
	Reject it. Say it to them.
	I reject that.
	You have no power over me.
	I do not believe what is coming out of your mouth.
	Just say it directly to them.
	So, Dr. Chet.
	This is actually being done by a natural language processor.
	You know. An NLP. So I guess this is now...
	We were told how smart chat LGBT was.
	I just told you. It passed all these exams.
	Passed the exams for graduate school, for medical school, for law school and everything.
	Well, I guess it's now been promoted to doctor.
	Doctor chat. We've gone back to the early days of home computers that I had.
	I built a computer when I was in college, and we didn't have really any software to run on anything, so there's this program out there.
	It was some kind of a fake psychoanalyst just asking you open-ended questions.
	Oh, that's very interesting. Why would you say that?
	Tell me how you feel about that, all that kind of stuff.
	It was like Eliza or something like that.
	I forget what it was.
	But yeah, so now you've got Dr.
	Chet determining life expectancy.
	And as Alan Bakari at Breitbart points out, the value of AI companies has soared.
	At least their stock price has.
	Whether or not their value has.
	Their price has.
	Mentions of AI technology in investor calls is up over 75%.
	I hope this is another one of these boom and bust cycles.
	It was on vaccine impact that Brian Shalhavi had...
	An article saying this is the third one of these waves.
	You know, when I was in college, everybody, oh, artificial intelligence.
	And it's like, oh, well, this is nothing, you know, and it disappeared.
	After soaking in all kinds of money, they all just folded their cards and left.
	Then it happened again.
	And we're now in the third wave of that.
	Let's hope that it happens again.
	But let's talk about The real issues and why AI should look at your vaccination status to estimate your life expectancy.
	Here's a 10 year old Canadian hockey player from Hamilton, Ontario.
	You see, if AI doesn't include the vaccine in their vectors that they're looking at here, how would they guess that a 10 year old is going to die suddenly?
	Die suddenly. Happens over and over again.
	And this is out of Canada.
	This is from Dr. Mackis.
	He said, here's my take on it.
	He said, people say, well, we're not, you can't prove that this guy died, this kid, 10 years old.
	You can't prove that he was vaccinated.
	He said, And a city employee won't let you in unless you show your vaccine certificate and your driver's license.
	And if hockey governing bodies were forcing COVID-19 mRNA injections on every hockey player in Canada age 12 and up, imagine the pressure on 11-year-old, 10-year-old, 9-year-old.
	I guess most families would simply have had those kids vaccinated also without question.
	Yeah, it is a pressure campaign, just like the LGBT stuff is a pressure campaign.
	Here's another one from Dr.
	Mackis. He's been very good in terms of pulling out stories about individual people and individual conditions.
	Testicular turbo cancer in young athletes.
	Is this something that's now become a thing?
	Diagnosis to death in just days or weeks.
	He said, tributes have been paid to a young Irish cricket player who died days after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.
	21-year-old Daniel Donnan was rushed to Ulster Hospital where he is treated for bleed to the brain.
	But medical tests revealed tumors which had already spread to his brain and his lungs.
	The fact is, he says, the fact checkers come out and say, well, there's no evidence.
	But they do admit, quote, there is a grain of truth to this.
	Four football players from the German First League have gotten testicular cancer since the spring of 2022.
	Dr. Makis says, except it's not just four German players, football players.
	He said it's also rugby players, skiers, cricket players, etc.
	It's athletes as well as non-athletes.
	Some cases are extremely rapidly progressive, like this one.
	And this is how they describe this for this particular cricket player from Ireland.
	21-year-old Daniel Donnan.
	They said, quote, late stage football.
	Less than two months from second jab spread everywhere, only a few days from diagnosis to death.
	And then you have this out of the VAERS database, a 32-year-old military man pressured by the Pentagon to get the jab who developed testicular pain four days after the second Pfizer mRNA injection.
	20 days, so he gets, four days after the injection, second injection, he gets pain.
	20 days later, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer with metastatic spread to lymph nodes.
	As an oncologist, I asked, how and why?
	That's his specialty, Dr.
	Mackis. Yes, the COVID-19 vaccine spike protein localizes to the testes, according to the Japanese Pfizer biodistribution study that was done with rats.
	But he said at 48 hours, the ovaries get 40 times more mRNA than testes, and we don't really know if it accumulates over a longer period of time with testes than it does with ovaries.
	Because they cut the observation off after 48 hours.
	Yeah, that's how they tested it on animals.
	We'll observe the animals. Here's the testing we're going to do.
	We've got to do it at warp speed.
	President Trump said do it at warp speed.
	We'll not have time to do this, right?
	Yeah, right. So we're going to look at the animals for 48 hours.
	Okay, we're done. Roll it out.
	Mandate it. Get the military.
	We're ready to roll. Perhaps the more important point is that the mRNA continues to accumulate in the testes with time.
	How long and to what degree, we don't know, because Pfizer did not look beyond 48 hours.
	More physical activity means more blood flow, he says, with more mRNA delivered to the heart as well as to the testes.
	And of course, if it inflames your heart and you are stressing your heart, A healthy heart would be able to handle that stress of the athletes, but if it's got myocarditis or pericarditis, these things that none of us knew about before Trump, but now it's household work.
	If your heart is already struggling with that kind of stuff and you stress it out, that's what's happening.
	Wherever COVID-19 vaccine spike protein accumulates, we see a spike in cancers.
	Bone marrow, leukemias, lymph node, lymphomas, liver, kidney, pancreas, ovaries, testes, breasts, colon, brain, spinal cord, thyroid gland, and more, he said.
	There is undoubtedly a direct local effect by the vaccine's spike protein on the tissues that it accumulates in.
	But he said, oncologists are just turning a blind eye to this, as all the rest of the doctors are.
	Dr. Peter McCullough, I had an article about central venous thrombosis.
	This is a blood clot in the major vein of the brain.
	And we know that these spike proteins from the very beginning have been causing blood clots.
	He says, since 94% of Americans have had COVID-19, it is water under the bridge for infection.
	But with vaccination, it's a different story.
	The full force of the engineered spike protein that they've been working on, you know, this approach, you know, for 20 years.
	The engineered spike protein is felt in the body with each shot and per case.
	The severity of the side effect is far worse than COVID-19.
	He says, under no circumstances could someone accept a blood clot in the brain, a risk of a blood clot in the brain, In hopes of not getting COVID-19.
	When we look at this trade-off, it's always a trade-off.
	You never know what's going to happen with things.
	My mom had a severe stroke from taking antibiotics.
	First time she had a minor laparoscopic gallbladder operation.
	She was in her early 80s.
	And they gave her the antibiotic for infection.
	The first time my sister gave it to her.
	She had an episode.
	My sister tried to call the doctor, couldn't get a hold of the doctor to talk about that.
	And, you know, all day.
	And so it was time for her to take her medication again.
	And she was afraid not to give her the antibiotic.
	So she gave her the antibiotic and boom, she had the stroke immediately.
	Yeah, pretty clearly what it was.
	And the doctor said, yeah, she had a reaction to that antibiotic.
	You know, doctors won't say that about the vaccine, though, will they?
	But, you know, I looked at the insert, and sure enough, you know, page after page after page after page of things that can happen, and that's one of them.
	One of them. It doesn't happen to most people when they take an antibiotic, but, you know, we don't really care.
	But if you look at this, and as Dr.
	Peter McCullough said, The trade-off of saying, well, I'm going to accept a blood clot in the brain and the off chance that I'm not going to get COVID, except that we know that it doesn't even work for that, it has zero efficacy for protecting anybody from what it was designed to protect them for.
	That makes it pretty clear.
	You're risking a blood clot in the brain, what?
	To please Fauci?
	To please a politician like Muriel Bowser?
	That's why you're risking a blood clot in your brain?
	Yeah, those people in Washington, D.C. still had a brain.
	They said, no thanks.
	No thanks.
	Even something that is easily cured with the appropriate, safe, effective, cheap drugs like ivermectin, which is why they were so manic- To keep it away from people.
	Easily cured in the early stages.
	Even some people who had it in late stages were easily cured.
	Again, Dr. William Makis.
	Two high school students just died of aneurysms.
	Is this connected to these brain blood clots?
	And he goes through 16 different specific cases of young people coming out of the cases here who are having aneurysms.
	A well-known COVID-19 mRNA vaccine injury.
	And so it goes on and on.
	Here's my take. He says aneurysms are a well-known complication of the mRNA jabs.
	The spike protein, when expressed in blood vessel walls, causes inflammation, which damages the walls, leading to the formation of an aneurysm.
	There are many cases of ruptured aneurysm following Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
	MRNA vaccination and the database, some of them fatal.
	It's kind of interesting, you know, it can create an aneurysm, it can create a blood clot, but it has been carefully correlated to this.
	One final example here.
	We have a California hospital refusing a transplant surgery for an unvaccinated woman with end-stage kidney disease.
	It's amazing to see this still going on when there's no COVID emergency.
	When even people like Fauci and Bowser are not bothering to wear masks, you still have the hospitals doing this to people.
	Killing them if they don't get a shot.
	And again, you know, whatever you think about the efficacy or the ethics of transplants, the hospitals believe that that's going, and the patients believe that's going to save their life.
	In many cases, it might prolong it.
	Or might, in the case of a kidney disease, it might save their life.
	And they're willing to let people die.
	That's the point. They're willing to let people die in order to coerce them into getting a shot.
	So she went on kidney dialysis two years ago.
	She's had a heart attack. She's had cardiac episode associated with her three times a week treatment.
	She feels it's only a matter of time before her next heart attack, which could prove fatal, unless she gets a new kidney.
	But they don't really care.
	Geringer finds herself among many people who need an organ transplant but are up against a medical system that is still adhering to vaccine protocols in many different facilities.
	Everyone I know, she said, who's been COVID vaccinated has had it four to five times.
	She said, I've had it zero times, even though she's been very sick and going into and out of hospitals.
	We look at this op-ed piece from Epoch Times.
	It's a nurse, a physician's assistant.
	She was fired for reporting adverse effects into the government system that was set up for adverse effects to be reported.
	Remember, when they gave These vaccine companies' legal immunity for the harm that they did to children, to children, 1986 under Reagan.
	That was the first thing Fauci did. When they did that, they said, well, we want to track these things and see where the problems are so we can correct this or whatever.
	We're not going to hold the vaccine companies responsible for anything, but HHS is going to have this VAERS database.
	And then for 30 years, they did nothing with it.
	Made no recommendations to anybody.
	They don't care. Just a beard.
	It became an embarrassment for them.
	And if you wanted to report people, again, even before this happened, even before there was a pressure campaign to tell people not to report, you had Harvard saying, we think only 10% of the cases of vaccine injuries are being reported.
	And of course, they weren't reporting things like autism.
	That didn't happen right away.
	But when this rolled out, they were under a lot of pressure.
	So you better believe that when you look at the massive number of deaths and injuries in the VAERS database, it's far bigger than 10 times.
	And we talked about this.
	Many people say it's 40 times or more.
	But for this physician's assistant who reported this, she was fired for reporting adverse events to VAERS. For her efforts to report injuries and to educate others in her hospital system on doing the same, physician assistant Deborah Conrad said she was labeled an anti-vaxxer and fired from her job.
	Well, label me as an anti-vaxxer.
	I was an anti-vaxxer before this stuff.
	I was an anti-vaxxer all the way through it.
	And I will always be an anti-vaxxer.
	It makes me think of JFK when he went to West Berlin after the Marxists closed it off.
	They flew in. They had the airlift that was coming out because they were completely isolated, landlocked.
	And he goes there and he gets up in front of the crowd and he goes, Ich bin ein Berliner.
	And they all laughed.
	It's immediately cut off right now.
	You don't hear the audience response because they started laughing.
	What he said was, I am a jelly donut, or we could translate it, I am a ding-dong, or a Twinkie.
	He should have said, Ich aus Berlin.
	I'm from Berlin.
	But he said, I am a Berliner, which is...
	That's a pastry. Ich bin ein anti-vaxxer.
	And I am not a ding-dong.
	We will be right back.
	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.

	Alright, let's talk a little about DeSantis.
	Nobody is talking about CBDC. DeSantis did.
	I didn't see any...
	I do... When I prepare the show, I spend hours and hours doing the show.
	A lot of it is just going through website after website after website to see what people are talking about.
	Nobody. Mainstream media.
	Nobody. Conservative, alt-media.
	Nobody talked about the fact that DeSantis had a press conference about CBDC. All they want to do is talk about Trump.
	And so he gets up and he talks about how he wants to...
	He's got an idea for shutting down CBDC at the state level.
	And I think it's a good idea.
	And I'm going to contact Senator Nicely.
	He's concerned about this as well.
	Say, hey, how about this approach?
	You need to have a lot of states in on this, and it'll work much better if there's a lot of states doing it.
	And he said, in Texas, the Texas Senate is taking up this approach as well.
	And so he was there to raise people's awareness about CBDC. He was there to talk about a state approach to nullify this, to block it.
	Because it's not going to be blocked.
	Even though you've got Emmer, who's the House Majority Whip, he can't block it.
	He doesn't have the votes. He can pass it in the House.
	I don't know if it would pass in the Senate, but they can't override the veto of Biden, and Biden wants it.
	So it's not going to be blocked in Washington.
	It's got to be blocked at the states.
	And so he talks about what CBDC is, why it's a threat, and then he talks about his approach to it.
	And he holds this press conference, and he's standing behind a sign that That says, big brother digital money.
	Big brother digital money.
	But what you see in the conservative press, they're demonizing him because of the comments.
	First question, what about Trump?
	What about Trump? What are you going to do? You're going to extradite Trump?
	How are you going to get involved in this? It's like, look, let's talk about...
	You know, what the Manhattan district attorney is doing to threaten people's lives on a daily basis.
	It was a master class, really, in handling this, I thought.
	He throws some shade at Trump, but he talks about how the real problem is the Soros district attorney, how the people really being victimized are the people that are living in Manhattan where this guy is not doing his job.
	He's turning violent criminals back out on the streets.
	He said those are the people being victimized on a daily basis.
	Do you care about that? It was a master class, I thought.
	But he threw some shade at Trump.
	And then Trump came back at him.
	And so I saw that clip was pulled out.
	That little part there where he throws some shade.
	And I'll play it for you. And everybody's focusing on that.
	And you have these Trump sycophants like Darren Beattie with Revolver News.
	He's had interviews with Trump.
	He loves Trump. Trump's his meal ticket, frankly.
	And so...
	He puts that up, that little quote there, and it's just comment after comment of people.
	Oh, I hate DeSantis now.
	Look, I've got my problems with DeSantis, and I got some people, conservative thinker, I don't know if I've lost him as a viewer or not.
	But I said, look, I have a real problem with these censorship bills that are coming up.
	And I have a problem with the fact that DeSantis hasn't said anything about it.
	And that was on a Monday or Tuesday.
	And it had been introduced the previous Thursday.
	DeSantis that day did denounce that censorship bill.
	But I still have concerns about the censorship bill that he signed when he first became governor.
	And he went to Israel to sign it.
	It was clearly pandering to the Jewish vote.
	To criminalize anti-Semitism.
	And what really even beyond anti-Semitism, they said this is about criminalizing anti-Semitism.
	Well, I don't think anti-Semitism speech ought to be criminalized.
	I don't think any speech ought to be criminalized.
	And I don't think there should be a thing such as a hate crime.
	I think the way that you counter it, and I can't remember, Noam Chomsky, I think he was, Jewish, he said, look, I don't want to cancel anti-Semitic speech.
	We shut it down with our speech.
	You have to do that.
	You can't just say, I don't like that, or it's not true, or it's hateful, and I'm going to censor it.
	Once you do that, you've opened up a Pandora's box and you can't get that thing closed again, as we now see everywhere.
	And so I really disagreed with that.
	And they said, well, this is not about protecting the state of Israel.
	This is about anti-Semitism.
	Well, it's still wrong. But it was about the state of Israel.
	He went to the state of Israel to sign it.
	He talked, and the examples that they had in the bill, it was all about the state of Israel.
	And now you've got the guy who put it in, Randy Fine, who is from a jurisdiction, all Jewish, and he's pandering to them again.
	He's now trying to make it a hate crime and a felony.
	To have anti-Semitic speech.
	And I've not seen, maybe he has, but I've not seen DeSantis push back against that.
	And I would guess, based on what he did at the beginning, That he would go along with that, and he would pander to the Jewish vote there as well, even though they are calling for something that is very destructive of our fundamental First Amendment rights.
	So I had a problem with that, and there was a third one.
	I forget which the third one was, but he did renounce the one that wanted to register bloggers.
	Some guy put that in.
	I don't know if the Republican Party in general denounced that or not, but look, DeSantis has done a lot of very good things, and he's done more than any of the other governors, even though he's fully on board with all this, and you see the pictures of him meeting with Trump, and Trump's not wearing the mask, and DeSantis is wearing the mask.
	DeSantis had blocked traffic coming in to Florida through the interstate way before Cuomo did, but then he turned and And he started pulling these restrictions off, and he was the only governor at the time who said, we're not going to allow private businesses to coerce people into getting a vaccine.
	He had a big fight about the cruise ships.
	If you require this stuff, you're not going to dock here in Florida and all this other thing.
	So he did more than anybody else did, but he didn't do enough.
	I say that. Because even though they have said we don't recommend this vaccine, they're not stopping this poison from being administered to people.
	And in many cases, providing it themselves for certain age groups while they tell other age groups don't get it.
	And so that's the thing that bothers me.
	He'll only go so far, but, you know, he'll go much further than any other governor does, any other Republican governor.
	So again, you support them when they do the right thing, you criticize them when they do the wrong thing and hope that they will start to do the right thing.
	But it raises concerns about it.
	But he was totally right about CBDC. Let me play for you what he had to say about CBDC since nobody else wants to talk about this.
	That's why we're here today, because we've seen a lot of mismanagement from the economic central planners.
	It's just by nature.
	You cannot do this effectively without there being major costs to pay.
	And so some want to increase power to these organizations, such as the Federal Reserve.
	And so last year, President Biden issued an executive order to explore the creation of a U.S. central bank digital currency, effectively converting the dollar into a centralized digital currency.
	And this is different than things like cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, A centralized digital currency is directly controlled and issued by the government to consumers, and it provides the government with a direct view of all consumer activities.
	And so this is something that is being proposed as somehow being environmentally sustainable, a way to increase access to consumers who lack the means to join a traditional bank.
	But as we've come to learn, Any way they can get into society to exercise their agenda, they will do it.
	So what the central bank digital currency is all about is surveilling Americans and controlling behavior of Americans.
	Spot on! He even talked about Biden's executive order a year ago.
	He even understands how they're going to push it with climate change.
	Why isn't anybody else talking about this?
	Look, If DeSantis wants to run for president and come after Biden for CBDC, I'm on board.
	This is not an endorsement, but I will push that narrative as much as I can because that is true.
	He's absolutely spot on true and good for him.
	Good for him for taking this on and telling everybody the truth about what this is.
	This is about surveillance to control you.
	It is big brother digital money.
	He is 100% right about this.
	On target, understands how this is going to be sold, how long this thing has been, you know, the movements that Biden has done.
	Spot on about that.
	And then he's got a solution.
	He didn't just identify, this is the other thing I like about DeSantis.
	Again, he's not perfect, but he's actually been proactive.
	Other, you know, other politicians will look at something and say, well, I don't like this.
	Let's have a lawsuit about it.
	And now I'm done.
	You know, it's out of my hands. I don't have to do anything.
	No, DeSantis will come up with solutions, even though he's a lawyer, he'll come up with solutions that are outside of just kind of passively filing a lawsuit.
	Here's his solution. Today, I'm here to call on the legislature to pass legislation to expressly forbid The use of CBDC as money within Florida's Uniform Commercial Code.
	This will ensure that Florida continues to be a state that supports innovation in the financial sector through the market while protecting against government surveillance over your personal finances.
	But our legislation shouldn't stop there.
	Given the continued increase in Chinese influence in worldwide affairs and increase in plans to adopt CBDC worldwide, We're good to go.
	To adopt similar legislation into their uniform commercial codes and to reject any changes to their uniform commercial code that would formally recognize a central bank digital currency.
	And I've already spoken with Lieutenant Governor of Texas, who's the head of the Senate in Texas.
	I do believe Texas is going to do something similar to what Florida does.
	And if we can get a groundswell of states to say no, we are not going to turn over this power to you.
	I mean, look, ultimately, cash is king.
	I mean, if you can hold it in your hand, you have power over that.
	The minute it's all digitized, somebody else is going to have control over that, and it's just a question of, are they going to let you live your life?
	Again, he's got a solution.
	Go into the Uniform Commercial Code, the UCC, and change it and say, you're not going to use this.
	It's going to be prohibited in this state.
	And also foreign currencies.
	And Emmer, the House Majority Whip, understands that.
	You know, he's got two aspects of this bill that he wants to raise people's awareness of.
	Again, they can't get it passed because of Biden.
	But the two aspects of it are that you're not going to deal directly with customers.
	You're not going to have digital money dealing directly with people with the Federal Reserve.
	And we're not going to allow foreign currencies to be used either.
	And so that's the two aspects of it.
	The Federal Reserve cannot use this to craft economic policy and manipulate the economy.
	We're going to ban the use of the Fed coin or the CBDC.
	We're going to ban the use of that by individuals, whether it's coming from the federal government or whether it's coming from a foreign government.
	That part of it, DeSantis doesn't have any authority to tell the Federal Reserve what to do.
	But as a state governor, He can block the use of that by blocking it in the UCC code.
	He's doing the opposite of what is being done in 20 different states, essentially, trying to redefine money.
	And in those states, what they're saying is, well, you're not going to be able to use cryptocurrency.
	So they're blocking cryptocurrency, but then redefining money, In a way that is friendly and accepting to CBDC. So what DeSantis did, we said, well, we're going to redefine it so that we're going to block CBDC by using the uniform commercial code,
	the UCC. And so as he gives this presentation and he's got his sign on his podium and he's talking about what CBDC is, how it's a threat, and here's the solution, then they go to questions.
	The first question is? Hi, Megan from the Florida Standard.
	We wanted to know what your thoughts are on the rumored Trump indictment and if you have any role in it, if charges are brought on him, will you have any role in extradition to New York?
	So I've seen rumors swirl.
	I have not seen any facts yet, and so I don't know what's going to happen.
	But I do know this.
	The Manhattan district attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor.
	And so he, like other Soros-funded prosecutors, they weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety.
	He has downgraded over 50% of the felonies to misdemeanors.
	He says he doesn't want to even have jail time for the vast, vast majority of crimes.
	And what we've seen in Manhattan is we've seen the crime rate go up, and we've seen citizens become less safe.
	And so you're talking about this situation with, and look, I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair.
	I just, I can't speak to that.
	There's the sound bite. But what I can speak to...
	Is that if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments, you know, that's an example of pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office.
	And I think that that's fundamentally wrong.
	I also think it's important to point out when you're talking about these Soros-funded prosecutors, yes, they may do a high-profile politicized prosecution, and that's bad, but the real victims are ordinary New Yorkers, ordinary Americans in all these different jurisdictions that they get victimized every day because of the reckless political agenda That these Soros DAs bring to their job.
	They ignore crime and they empower criminals, and that hurts people.
	It hurts a lot of people every single day.
	These Soros district attorneys are a menace to society, and I'm just glad that I'm the only governor in the country that's actually removed one from office during my tenure.
	You see, I thought that was a master class in politics.
	Because he comes after the prosecutor beginning and end, and in the middle he throws some shade at his opponent, and everybody is upset.
	What did he say that got everybody so upset?
	And again, I would not have known that he had anything at all to say about CBD, or more importantly, a state tactic to stop it, if I hadn't seen the sign on his podium.
	About Big Brother Digital Money.
	No, all the conservative MAGA Trump feeders, that's what they are.
	They're feeding at the trough of that pig, frankly.
	All these people like Darren Beattie and Alex Jones and Wayne Allen Root and the rest of them, they're feeding at the Trump trough.
	And they've got excrement all over their face as far as I'm concerned.
	But here's what he had to say.
	I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair.
	I can't speak to that.
	And he mentioned that phrase, hush money to a porn star, a second time in that.
	I don't know what's going on with that.
	But why is the right so upset about this, right?
	Because as I said yesterday, MAGA and all of these shills for Trump, they all want to look the other way about hush money paid to a porn star.
	They're just like the supporters of Bill Clinton.
	You want to come after Bill Clinton because he had a consensual affair with Monica Lewinsky?
	No, because he committed perjury.
	I've heard that for years from the left.
	Every time I would talk about, oh, you know, you're just this moralizing conservative who wants to criminalize extramarital affairs.
	It's not about that. He committed perjury because he foolishly thought that people like you would care.
	That he was a moral reprobate who couldn't be trusted.
	Who couldn't be trusted to keep his oath.
	And I say that to the MAGA conservatives.
	And that's what was so offensive about this.
	DeSantis said, you know, this is about hush money to a porn star.
	He said the quiet part out loud.
	He showed the hypocrisy of all these people like Darren Beattie and the MAGA cult.
	He showed how these people...
	Are basically taking hush money to cover up the hush money to a porn star.
	Because they don't care about integrity in their leaders.
	Whenever you would see Trump betraying people, Alex Jones would tell you, he's just playing 4D chess.
	Well, he was playing 4D chess or something.
	Maybe it's 40D chess that he was playing with a porn star.
	Violating his oath to his third wife, the third oath violation he had violated, you think he's going to obey any oath to the Constitution?
	You think he's going to protect the Bill of Rights?
	No. Because he knows he's going to get a pass.
	Except, he wasn't quite sure.
	And all of that happened right after he made the remark about grabbing women by their genitals.
	Then, that came up.
	And so he thought that maybe there might be an ounce of decency amongst his supporters who would reject him, but no.
	No, he didn't have to worry about that.
	Not at all. Thank you, conservative thinker.
	I'm glad that I didn't run you off.
	Thank you for the tip.
	I appreciate that on Rumble. He says, I'm still here, Dave.
	Well, good. I was afraid that I had offended you.
	And because, you know, I do have problems.
	Look, I don't support people.
	I don't support politicians.
	I support policies and statements.
	And what DeSantis did was a very, very powerful thing yesterday with CBDC. And completely ignored by these Trump shills.
	It just drives me over...
	My ability to control my anger.
	It really does. I just...
	Anyway.
	He says, well, what can I speak to is that you have a prosecutor who's ignoring crimes that are happening every single day in his jurisdiction, and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money.
	Second time.
	Don't point that out!
	Don't say that about Trump.
	It's true. It's true.
	It was whatever.
	He's not saying it was a crime.
	But even Trump's lawyer is saying that.
	Trump's lawyer has said...
	No, he didn't.
	Oh, yeah, he did do it.
	He's lying to you. His lawyer said that on television.
	Said, yeah, Trump did that.
	He's just lying about it.
	This DA, he said, is pursuing a political agenda.
	He is weaponizing the office.
	And he said, the Soros District Attorney is a menace to society, and I'm glad that I am the only governor in the country who has actually removed one from office during my tenure.
	So look, if he says that he is weaponizing this prosecution, the MAGA cult ought to be happy.
	Because, you know, if Trump doesn't go to New York and turn himself in, Then what happens is the New York Flax, you know, Soros District Attorney, has to send down a request for extradition.
	And that goes to the governor's office.
	And he could just say, nah, you know, not going to do it.
	You're weaponizing this. You are out of your jurisdiction.
	And this is a political thing.
	I'm not going to extradite him.
	But Trump...
	Can't leave well enough alone, right?
	Even though DeSantis says this is political weaponizing and this guy is off the rails and all the rest of the stuff, which would indicate that he's not going to honor any extradition.
	Who knows? We'll have to see.
	But Trump can't handle the fact that DeSantis said the quiet part out loud, hush money to a porn star.
	So, he hits back last night.
	Ron DeSanctimonious, this guy is just juvenile, beyond belief.
	He's juvenile. Ron DeSanctimonious, he says, will probably find out about false accusations, all uppercase, And fake stories sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known when he's unfairly, illegally attacked by a woman, even classmates that are underage for possibly, or possibly a man, Trump wrote.
	I'm sure he'll want to fight these misfits just like I did.
	Behold the Underminer!
	Static! The STD! You know, Trump the Underminer.
	That's what I should call him. Is that a Benedict Donald?
	I got a new name for him, right?
	He likes nicknames, okay.
	Trump the Underminer.
	Behold, nothing is beneath me.
	And I will declare war on my own party.
	You know, forget what Ronald Reagan said.
	You know, Ronald Reagan said the 11th commandment is thou shalt not say anything wrong about Republicans.
	Well, I don't agree with that. But certainly Trump doesn't agree with it.
	He's going to go to war. You understand this is why this is happening.
	Everybody's saying, why is this coming back up?
	After all these years, and you had the federal government, this would be a campaign violation.
	The FAC is not coming after Trump.
	It would be a federal case, right?
	About federal elections violation.
	The FEC looked at it and said, nah, we're not going to do anything about it.
	And then you had local district attorneys looked at it and said, nah, we're not going to do anything about it.
	Then this guy comes along and he says, yeah, we're going to do something about it.
	And as I pointed out, everybody knows.
	Whether this is Trump's opponents or his friends, everybody knows this is going to make him a martyr to his people.
	And it also keeps him, it strengthens him for these fights where he will be an underminer coming after whoever and every person who's running as an opponent to him.
	So, as they point out in this article from Business Insider, DeSantis has not faced any accusations of having an affair or being sexually involved with men or minors.
	At least 26 women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct.
	He has denied all the allegations, although he paid several of them off.
	Is that an admission or a denial if you pay somebody off?
	Well, they were false, but I paid her $130,000 anyway.
	You know, it just... So...
	And of course, it isn't Ron DeSantis who is pictured over and over and over again with Jeffrey Epstein.
	It wasn't DeSantis who's posing with his wife, making eyes at Jeffrey Epstein like it's some kind of menage a traw or something.
	So, you know, that's Trump.
	But Trump comes out and smears DeSantis with a 20-year-old photo of We're good to
	go. That he's having sex with minors.
	Well then, by that same standard, Donald, I guess that you were fully on board with everything that Jeffrey Epstein was doing, right?
	Over and over again, we see pictures of you with him.
	And of course, we saw pictures of Trump with Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton smiling.
	She went to his wedding, and what did he say?
	He said, I paid her to be there.
	See, we always knew Hillary was a prostitute.
	Just like he pays women to get them to do what he wants, right?
	So, anyway, Trump has been doing this over and over again.
	The Democrats want him to be strengthened.
	They want him in the primaries.
	Because there isn't a single Democrat that could do as much damage to all of the GOP candidates as Donald Trump could do and will do.
	It's a full-on civil war.
	They want it.
	They're enabling it. So the comments could signal a point of contrast to come in the contest between DeSantis, a father who has made his young, telegenic family a centerpiece of his public image.
	And Trump, a twice-divorced man known for Playboy tendencies.
	Yeah, yeah. He did a cover of Playboy.
	He, you know, was posing with Jeffrey Epstein all the time.
	So, anyway, I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star.
	Well, I do. The funny thing about all this, again, the MAGA cult hates the jabs, but they don't want to associate that with Trump.
	Yeah, we just block this off.
	Does it? Not connected?
	Not connected at all? That was just 100% Fauci.
	Had nothing to do with Trump.
	The lockdowns had nothing to do with Trump, even though he funded all of this.
	The universal basic income training, the PPP and the corruption association, that had nothing to do with Trump.
	The Jeffrey Epstein stuff.
	Oh, there's no connection with Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
	No, no, no, no. They just cannot make the connections.
	Let me tell you, that is Trump derangement syndrome, if ever there was.
	You know, when I was criticizing Trump before January 6th, on January the 6th, after January the 6th, I had all these haters leaving comments on social media and, you know, comments on videos saying, get over it, Trump's living rent-free in your head.
	Like, no, pal, he's living rent-free in the White House, and he's going to go back to live there rent-free.
	Trump, meanwhile, decided that he would do some wrestling, you know, watch some wrestling happening, because, you know, it's really kind of like professional wrestling.
	Heroes and heels, right?
	Except it wasn't a professional wrestling thing that he went to in Oklahoma.
	It was NCAA wrestling.
	And so Trump goes there, and he gets a cheering crowd.
	Cheers and applause.
	Because now he is a martyr over all this stuff.
	The video of Trump's visit shows him smiling broadly, waving as people cheered his entrance, and he is seen raising his fist in triumph.
	Well, there you go. So, but getting back to CBDC, this is the real issue.
	CBDC is the real threat to us.
	The Great Reset is a real threat to us, and they're resetting our financial system right now.
	What have you heard Trump say about that?
	Has he talked about how the Federal Reserve is trying to take over control of the banks?
	Has he talked about the economic chaos and everything?
	No. It's about him. It's about him.
	He's incapable of acting, except in his own perceived interests, or out of revenge, as Ty Cobb, his former attorney, so accurately summed him up.
	A deeply wounded narcissist.
	Someone who is as addicted to the celebrity and the approval of crowds as he is to sex and money.
	So, getting back to CBDC. Is the U.S. funding an experiment in digital control in Ukraine?
	This is from the Organic Prepper blog.
	You'll also find it on Zero Hedge.
	Ukraine's defense minister...
	Invited Western arms manufacturers to test their newest weapons against Russians in 2022.
	And Ukraine truly is a testing ground.
	And so Marie Hawthorne, the author of this, says, so this begs a question.
	What else is getting tested there?
	Well, we know what else is getting tested there.
	A digital ID system.
	And it's been under test for quite some time.
	It was under test even before you had the Russian invasion.
	And then they weaponized it further.
	You see, this is what Trump is not talking about.
	Trump either doesn't care or has been advancing all of these issues from a practical standpoint.
	Advanced universal basic income with the lockdowns and the cash payments and everything.
	I'm going to take your business. I'm going to take your job, but that's okay.
	I'll give you an allowance.
	That is a Davos goal.
	That is a globalist goal.
	To have you have a global ID, that is a globalist goal.
	To have a smart city or a 15-minute city.
	Trump just came out talking about how he's got an idea for these utopian cities as well.
	He's just like all of these globalist leaders.
	They're all now focusing on how they can lock you up in cities.
	We can make a city and we can pack everybody in there.
	We don't need to have a lot of...
	This is pure Agenda 21.
	Why can't MAGA see this?
	Well, because I got people lying to them.
	The same people who were telling them about Agenda 21 10 years ago are now lying to them about it when it's being sold to them by Trump.
	And of course, the infrastructure for all that.
	The infrastructure for the Internet of Things, IoT.
	I call it the Internet of Tyranny because you are one of those things that these tyrants want to control.
	You are the principal thing. You know, it isn't that they're interested in where your car is or your phone.
	They're interested in where you are.
	They're only interested in those things because they're interested in controlling and tracking you.
	So, IoT is really an internet of tyranny.
	And the essential technology for all of that is 5G broadband.
	And what was Trump cheering so much?
	He was cheering 5G throughout his administration.
	I was opposing it. And now he's pushing these cities, smart cities, 15-minute cities, as some kind of a solution to a problem that we don't have.
	He's not using this as a solution to having a green city or something.
	He's just jumping in on the city agenda because, you know, hey, I'm Trump and I've got a great idea and I build things.
	Yeah, he didn't build the wall at the border, but let me tell you, he's going to build the digital firewall that will enslave you if he becomes president again.
	And so we know what Ukraine is doing.
	As a matter of fact, I've shown this video once before.
	Ukraine 2030.
	This is their vision and the utopia that we're all going to do.
	The utopia of convenience that will come when we turn over all of our information to the government and they track us digitally.
	Let's look eight years ahead.
	2030. We became the first country to abandon paper money.
	Ukraine now has the best tech system for the IT industry and the most affordable e-residency.
	Thanks to Ukrainian engineers and programmers, the R&D centers of the world's top technology companies operate successfully, and Ukraine ranks first in the world by the number of startups per capita.
	Ukrainian courts are guided by artificial intelligence and all notarial acts take place online.
	Ukrainian customs is fully automatic and the fastest in the world.
	Customs clearance and car registration can now be done in three clicks from your smartphone.
	Because of war and internal migration, we have built the most flexible in modern digital education.
	Brave military and civilians get quality treatment with modern remote monitoring and e-health systems.
	Ukraine also has the most effective cyber defense in the world.
	After the horrors of 2022, Ukraine focused on security systems.
	Now every production facility has its air defense system, and the sleep of Ukrainians is protected by an ultra-modern iron dome.
	Now every production facility has its air defense system, and the sleep of Ukrainians is protected by an ultra-modern iron dome.
	The Ukrainian government is digital, more like an IT company in terms of the efficiency of implementing decisions.
	The Ukrainian government is digital, more like an IT company in terms of the efficiency of implementing decisions.
	And one can register a land plot, start construction, open a business or get a license, and register a car or real estate from a smartphone.
	Automatically, in one click.
	Ukraine is the freest and digital.
	This is all because international partners and the world's leading technology companies supported the Digital for Freedom initiative and united to help Ukraine recover through digitalization.
	Building a new Ukraine together.
	Free and the fastest.
	Brave and digital.
	Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was recent.
	Of course, it was after the war began.
	And I actually cut off a little bit at the beginning of it where they're showing the chaos of war.
	Fast forward eight years and look, we now have a utopia that is made possible by a global digital ID. Isn't that wonderful?
	That is the key to our future.
	That is going to fulfill all of us.
	The mark of the beast is going to fulfill everybody.
	In early 2019, says the article by Organic Prepper, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, headed by a world economic forum, it's called the World Economic Forfeiture, World Economic Foreclosure Participant, Fedorov, According to Fedorov, the goal of this new government department was to streamline government services, making it easier to apply for driver's licenses, passports, and so on.
	That's before we had the video.
	Three years before they did the video.
	Ukraine has long held the reputation as Europe's most corrupt country.
	Even Bill Gates said that.
	And young politicians like Fedorov want to take advantage of the new technology to make changes.
	So in early February 2020, the Ukrainian government launched its...
	DIA app, I guess we'll call it.
	D-I-I-A. I have no idea how they pronounce that.
	Because I still pronounce Kiev the old-fashioned way.
	I don't say Kiev. So maybe this is DIA. I don't know.
	Anyway, I'll call it DIA. Because you're going to die from this app.
	They touted it as a way to streamline government services.
	And you saw that featured if you're watching that.
	You know, DIA this and DIA that.
	By 2021, it had allowed Ukraine to become the first European nation to accord digital passports.
	One of the first to issue digital driver's licenses.
	Fedorov reported in 2021 that about a quarter of the Ukrainian population was using it.
	As of January this year, it is about half of the Ukrainian adult population.
	And this is the war that is coming to the United States, whether or not they provoke a nuclear attack by Russia, whether or not they provoke a nuclear attack by China.
	This war...
	This war over a digital ID is coming to us.
	As I've said before, CBDC is the most direct route, but there's other ways that it can come as well.
	It is a front that we have to fight, many different fronts, on this digital ID war.
	And so this is the war that's coming to us.
	Meanwhile, Trump is the great distraction, keeping anybody from really paying attention to this stuff.
	Within a year of its launch, millions of Ukrainians found that their personal data, such as their driver's licenses, their social media, and even their banking information, was being traded online.
	Because with everything online, the risk of fraud and identity theft increases astronomically.
	Look, the Pentagon could not protect the information of its personnel.
	The CIA and NSA could not protect Their software and their documents, Vault 7, to make it look like they were anybody they wanted to look like.
	They could look like any of their enemies.
	Russia, China, North Korea, anybody.
	Or any of their friends.
	If they wanted to get involved in cyber hacking.
	The NSA and the CIA could not protect that.
	They did not protect the data of their people.
	And we have seen these, you know, Equifax and these other hacked data stolen.
	It's not a question of if.
	It's a question of when.
	None of this stuff, nothing that's online, is secure.
	Not for anybody, anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
	Early on, as President C. Zelensky talked about streamlining the voting process via the app.
	And so they did online voting.
	Online voting. Maybe Trump, since he gave us the vote-by-mail fraud with his lockdown, maybe he can give us vote-by-online fraud.
	I'm sure that'll be a thing.
	He doesn't care anymore about it.
	He's going to out- Fraud the other side.
	That's what he's saying. We're going to do more voter harvesting than they do.
	We're not going to reform anything.
	We're just going to be better criminals than the Democrats.
	Maybe. That's his goal.
	Controlling elections is only the beginning.
	A dial launched in February 2020.
	By March 2020, it was helping the Ukrainian government to enforce its lockdown policies.
	So... I have a Davos paper that says the digital identity determines what products, services, and information we can access or, conversely, what is closed off to us.
	You see? That's the important thing.
	You know, just like I said about the border at the wall, just like I've said about E-Verify, which Trump and many Republicans are pushing.
	You know, be careful because, you know, the wall can keep you in besides keeping other people out.
	Be careful about E-Verify because it can be used to deny you a job, not just a foreigner who is here without any permission.
	And all of this is just CBDC from another angle.
	A redacted report, a report from an organization called Redacted, traces Dia's transformation from a convenience service to a military tool.
	Because this is all coming from the military.
	Just like the warp speed stuff and the vaccine program and the germ games and all the rest of the delivery of this, all running through the military.
	Usually it's DARPA that's involved in it.
	An advisor in Ukraine's Ministry for Digital Transformation said, we have restructured the Ministry of Digital Transformation into a clear military organization.
	DIA encourages citizens to snitch on their neighbors.
	That's why I said, you know, we have Silicon Valley needs to be understood as the Silicon Stasi.
	That's what we should start calling it.
	And we've got all these Stasi apps to spy on people.
	And, you know, they'll do it for money.
	You pay them, they'll do it.
	So DIA encourages citizens to snitch on their neighbors, just like the East German Stasi.
	But it's so much more convenient and powerful when you have an app for that.
	The wartime features allow citizens to anonymously accuse any other citizen of being a Russian collaborator.
	You know, this is not really anything new.
	It's why we have in the Bill of Rights...
	You know, they had Star Chamber processes before there was a FISA court, before there was a DIA app to, you know, finger anonymously your enemies.
	And so when the Bill of Rights...
	We said you have the right to confront your accusers, to be told of your charges, and to have all this stuff in public, not in a Star Chamber process.
	People used to be in the Star Chamber.
	They would be accused in secret, tried in secret, found guilty in secret.
	And now that happens with our no-fly lists and many other things that are going on.
	And the Democrats want to extend that to a no-buy list.
	And all the rest of this. I like what they had to say with this.
	They said it's Stalin and a smartphone.
	Americans have been paying for much of the technological development of what is happening there in Ukraine with this bureaucracy.
	So that's one of the reasons why we need to pay attention to this because it's American money that is making...
	Americans are driving this.
	Just as the Democrats created this...
	Current state that Zelensky is in charge of.
	Funded it. Had these, you know, corrupt relationships with him.
	The Biden family did and everything.
	All of that, you know, they're inextricably tied in with all of this.
	But of course, you know, it's much bigger than Biden's.
	It's the entire military-industrial complex that is tied into all of this corruption.
	And so the other part of this is that the government in a smartphone, Silicon Stalin, I guess we could say, that is a concept that is going around the world.
	And again, I'll mention the government in a smartphone, tyranny in a smartphone, Stalin in a smartphone.
	The NSA said that.
	The NSA and those slides that Snowden had.
	You know, who would have thought in 1984, they show the 1984 Mac commercial.
	Who would have thought that this would be Big Brother, and they've got Steve Jobs holding up his smartphone, and that the zombies would line up to pay for it, and they show a line in front of an Apple store.
	They're laughing at you.
	And so this is running through USAID, which is a CIA front group.
	This is where Obama's mama...
	USAID. Oh, we're just here to give you aid and cultural support.
	No, it's a CIA front organization.
	Always has been. And of course, her parents, Obama's grandparents, were OSS people who were some of the original founders of the CIA as well.
	So the USAID is supporting Ukraine's digital transformation since 2016, an American agency.
	The volunteers that developed it were working with a software engineering company based in Pennsylvania, EPAM Systems.
	And after the Russian invasion, the CIA front group, USAID, donated another $8.5 million to Ukraine to help it to develop its wartime features.
	USAID Director Samantha Powers spoke at the World Economic Forum, Davos, this year in January, and she touted the success of DIA. It's what they want for everybody, especially for us.
	Samantha Powers, the USAID CIA, she and Fedorov, remember this is a guy, the digital minister there in Ukraine, discussed the DIA model and how it was such a huge success.
	And we need to share this with other countries.
	Samantha Powers, by the way, is married to Cass Sunstein, the author of Nudge, which is all about psychological behavior modification.
	So there you go.
	CIA, psychological behavior modification, digital ID. It's all there in Ukraine.
	It's coming to us.
	We have to shut this down.
	CBDC is the most direct route, but there's other routes that they can take.
	The USA got a giant shove online when the lockdowns were enforced in 2020.
	Let's see, who was that that did that?
	That's one thing the organic prepper does not talk about.
	Trump gets absolutely no mention in any of this.
	He had nothing to do with what happened in 2020.
	He's totally innocent in it.
	Total rube. He's just being run by Fauci and CIA, he had no idea, no clue.
	Don't hold any of that 2020 stuff against Trump.
	By all means, don't hold that against him.
	It is estimated that rebuilding Ukraine so far will cost over a trillion dollars.
	Zelensky and BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink have already come to an agreement about managing the rebuilding of Ukraine.
	And of course, you know, the discussion, the frank discussion of how much money Ukraine needs.
	Listen to this right now, how much money they need.
	They need $5 billion a month now and forever.
	Ukraine's government needs at least five billion dollars a month just to make up for budget shortfalls.
	That's a shame. Are you getting enough economic support from the West separate from all that military support?
	Not enough. Right you are.
	We need up to five, six billion.
	This guy is lying. He keeps looking down and to the side, right?
	Look at the body and language. Social payments, salaries to the soldiers who are fighting on the forefront.
	It's very important for the world now to help us financially and economically and, you know, helping us to win.
	If we will not stop the aggression here in Ukraine, it will spread, definitely.
	Do you think the world needs to be prepared to support Ukraine's government with $5 billion a month indefinitely?
	Yeah. Do you think the West will really step up and do that?
	Well, if not the West, then who?
	I mean, we have to be united.
	And it's in everyone's interest for Ukraine to win and to be successful later on.
	Yeah, okay. That's from MRC Newsbusters.
	That's Guard Goldsmiths, an organization who works for them.
	Of course, he also has Liberty Conspiracy.
	But yeah, that is an interesting clip, isn't it?
	And that was a few weeks ago, but we just had...
	As we talk about Larry Fink, who is the person in the corporation?
	Is Corporation BlackRock who has pushed ESG investing more than anybody else?
	And of course, ESG investing is malinvesting.
	It's a violation of fiduciary trust.
	It's not about making a profit.
	It's about pushing a social agenda.
	And you trade on the stock market saying, well, our purpose here is to make a profit.
	And so you're fundamentally lying to people.
	You're breaking a trust, you know, like Trump does.
	You're violating a fiduciary trust.
	And so we've had a lot of state district attorneys come after, not state district, state attorneys general, come after these, threaten to sue these companies who are involved in ESG. There's been a lot of talk about the bad ESG investments that were made by Silicon Valley Bank and so forth.
	And so you had Congress come in and say, look, we're going to prohibit pension funds, pension funds, from investing in this because it's putting pension funds at risk.
	This is not a theory.
	It's happening right now in Switzerland with Credit Suisse.
	It was talked about yesterday.
	The pension funds are going to get nothing out of it.
	They'll make other investors whole, but the pension funds are going to take it on the chin.
	And so you have Republicans who pushed this bill and said, we don't want ESG investing by pension funds.
	Here's what Biden said in vetoing it.
	I just signed this veto because the legislation passed by the Congress would put at risk the retirement savings of individuals across the country.
	They couldn't take into consideration investments that wouldn't be impacted by climate, impacted by Overpaying executives.
	And that's why I decided to veto it.
	It makes sense to veto it.
	Yeah. Well, I forget.
	It was just yesterday that I talked about it.
	I don't remember if it was Jamie Dimon or if it was Larry Fink of BlackRock.
	I think it was Fink who said that pensions are a silent global crisis.
	And so the Republicans are trying to say, we're not going to allow people to put things in that make no economic sense.
	You know, they're just there to protect the environment or to push this diversity agenda and, you know, hire people who don't have any qualifications except it's a man wearing a dress, that type of thing.
	So we're going to stop that.
	Biden says, nope, I'm not going to let them restrict the kinds of, you know, freedom that you have to make an investment that's going to lose all your money.
	He would love for the private pension funds to fail.
	That's his agenda, quite frankly.
	He wants the financial system to fail.
	He wants pensions to fail.
	But don't worry, because BlackRock is there.
	They're going to make a trillion dollars rebuilding Ukraine.
	How's that for ESG? See, it pays off.
	If you carry water for the government, if the only thing that you care about, you don't care about profits, you only care about doing what the government wants, well, you'll get paid for that eventually.
	You know, he gets to, you know, rebuild, finance the rebuilding of Ukraine at some point in time.
	Well, hey, that's the payoff.
	The Improving Digital Identity Act of 2021 is in Congress right now.
	The Senate version actually states that the government cannot require digital identity for any kind of transaction.
	See? This is the way we can block at the state level, say, you're not going to use CBDC for any kind of financial transactions.
	And at the state level, they could also say you can't require digital identity.
	You could do that at the state level, you could do it at the federal level.
	It needs to be done everywhere.
	Concerns surrounding the CBDC also apply to the digital ID as well.
	They're one and the same thing, frankly, except, you know, the direction that they come at you and how fast they come.
	Digital IDs began to be offered as a convenience.
	There in Ukraine, as we saw, then they became popular.
	And then it began being preferred by businesses and by government.
	You see how the trap rolls?
	They said, this is how it's going to unfold.
	You have a few people who adopt it.
	Some people are going to adopt it because, well, adopt CBDC because they get some free money from the government, right?
	Or whatever. So some people start to adopt it.
	They gradually start to use it.
	It is a convenient thing.
	And it is a trap, right?
	It's a trap! Yeah, it is a trap.
	And so what happens is eventually you lose the option of using a physical ID. You try it.
	It's convenient. We're going to do this.
	And now you're going to look the same way that they do it by getting rid of cash.
	A few people start using it.
	It gets more convenient.
	You don't have to track the stuff and everything.
	And all of a sudden, you're going to lose physical cash, just like you lose your physical ID. Tools to implement a CBDC linked to a digital identity are already there, of course.
	And that's what this banking crisis and the fear is about.
	Yet another fear campaign.
	This fear campaign, like Fauci's fear campaign, has an agenda attached to it.
	The agenda is to close small and medium banks, and that's working really well.
	People are moving their money to the big banks.
	We have Janet Yellen, the former chair of the Federal Reserve, now Treasury Secretary, says we're only going to fully backstop, in other words, protect 100% of the deposits.
	We're only going to do that for the big banks.
	We're not going to do it for the medium and small banks.
	The medium and small banks just, ooh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Do they understand what's happening yet?
	Do they understand the, as I said yesterday, did they see all the different red lights on their chest from the gun sights, ready to take them out and pull of a trigger?
	And of course... If this is all about trust and fear, you should be very afraid of the financial system.
	And can you even trust keeping your money in the big banks?
	Maybe we need to put all the money into the Federal Reserve and just deal directly with them because they are the only people that are too big to fail.
	Central banks are too big to fail.
	So let's just go straight to the central bank.
	So as Organic Prepper is saying to fight back against this, keep your friendships and your purchases offline as much as possible.
	As I've been saying from the very beginning of this, all of this is designed to push us online, to push us out of the physical world into the virtual world where they can redefine everything and control and watch everything.
	Perhaps more importantly, she said, those of us with teenagers and young adults need to spend time explaining our privacy concerns to the younger generation, many of whom have never experienced real privacy.
	Think about that.
	So that you can get them to try to live offline as much as possible.
	The digital prison, she says, is being constructed, but it is by no means done yet.
	I just have to say, both Biden and Trump are building that wall, that firewall of a wireless digital prison, doing what 5G and all the rest of this.
	MAGA sees this as simply coming from Biden.
	They don't see Trump's hand in any of this stuff.
	They are blind to everything that Trump does.
	Because Trump is...
	Show, we've got a problem.
	Who are you?
	It's the new mug they're selling at TheDavidKnightShow.com, right?
	So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right?
	because basically you can't hold coffee with your hands, right?
	I'm a scat and a, 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 month they buy.
	Come on. These people, I tell you, well, anyway.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And we're going to be joined at the top of the hour in just about 13 minutes by Alexander Salter.
	I've talked to him in the past.
	He's an economics professor and an author of several books.
	He focuses on liberty and on economics.
	So we'll ask him a little bit about the current economic situation, but mainly I wanted to talk to him about he's got two books that are coming up.
	About liberty and the common good and other things like that, so I want to get his take on that.
	So, as we were talking about the blindness of people, seeing what is happening, the CBDC is rolling out.
	Nobody cares about anything but Trump.
	But the interesting thing, I thought, was that 85% of Trump supporters think that protesting against arrest, his arrest, you know, because he said on Saturday, all uppercase, with exclamation marks behind it.
	Protest, protest, protest.
	85% of Trump supporters think that protesting against the arrest is a January the 6th style trap.
	This is from Paul Joseph Watson.
	And what he did was he did a poll on Trump's Truth Social.
	And so the people who are on Trump's Truth Social, 85% of them, thought that it was a trap.
	And it is a trap.
	It is a trap. It is, you know, and who was it that was springing that January the 6th style trap?
	It was Alex and the Stop the Steal Pals and Donald Trump.
	And so they did the same poll on Infowars and got about 77%.
	The Infowars people said it was a trap.
	Not as many as the people on Trump's Truth Social.
	But these are the people who brought you the trap.
	Trump on his media thing and Alex Jones on his media thing.
	And the supporters still disassociate that.
	They realize that they were led into a trap by a bunch of Judas goats.
	And abandoned by Trump, but that doesn't seem to affect their perspective on anything.
	Unlike J6ers, Trump can afford lawyers, tweeted Mike Cernovich, though he has a history of stiffing people on legal bills as well.
	There is zero to do other than to allow him to defend himself in court.
	Unless y'all really want to become stars in a sequel to January the 6th, I can't believe this isn't obvious.
	Well, I couldn't believe that it wasn't obvious when Cernovich and Infowars and all these other people and Trump were pushing everybody January 6th the first time.
	I mean, it was such an obvious lie that started it all two days after the election from a CIA agent and disinformation agent, Steve Pchenik, given a platform all through all of this stuff, even for months afterwards.
	Alex still had Pchenik on.
	Talking about this. And feeding this idea that they're going to pull this thing back.
	The last time Trump's biggest fans protested on his behalf, he left them all to rot in jail, said Jesse Kelly, without so much as a penny from him in legal fees.
	Not a penny. Shame on him for this.
	Do not go to a blue area and protest for this man.
	Ignore this.
	Well, ignore not just that call.
	Ignore Trump. I just don't understand that they can't see it.
	Anyway, it was 1,580 people on Truth Social that 85% of them said, no, we don't want to have anything to do with that.
	Meanwhile, we have Team Biden charging 1,000 more people with January 6 crimes to perpetrate a fake political emergency.
	This is from James Bovard.
	Picked up by some mainstream media, actually.
	He does a good job of being able to speak for liberty and getting picked up by the mainstream media.
	He says the Biden administration is planning to charge another thousand Trump supporters with crimes related to January the 6th.
	This will perpetuate an atmosphere of political emergency that justifies Biden's war on domestic extremism.
	But a change in federal judges has turned the January 6th trials into a kangaroo court and makes a mockery of sending nonviolent Trump supporters to prison for threatening American democracy.
	More than 1,000 people have already been charged, and it's going to be another 1,000.
	A corrupt numbers game is at the heart of the Biden propaganda prosecution campaign.
	The more people they can indict...
	For January the 6th, and look, we all know that an indictment is certainly not evidence of guilt.
	As the saying goes, you can indict a ham sandwich.
	Why? Because it is a proceeding where there is no defense allowed.
	It is strictly the prosecutor and a grand jury.
	Typically, they're testing the strength of their case, but look, you can indict anybody for anything.
	Because there is no opposition to it.
	It's one of the reasons why. You look at these Star Chamber proceedings from FISA, this whole idea that you could be charged and convicted and punished, punishment meted out, without you even being there.
	The grand jury is just to do an indictment and then you have a real trial.
	So the indictment means nothing.
	But the more people that are indicted for January the 6th, the easier it becomes for Biden's re-election campaign to portray the president as the savior against right-wing tyranny when it is actually their tyranny that you have to be concerned about.
	The greatest threat to democracy is to take away trial by jury and other things like that.
	And free speech. And we know that the Biden administration is all about taking away free speech and trial by jury and all the rest of this stuff.
	As I said before, you know, Trump's lawyer...
	Is everywhere now.
	And you have to look at this and say, is he almost inviting an indictment?
	Oh, he would love that.
	Trump would love that. The best thing he could have.
	The Democrats want Trump to be indicted, and Trump wants Trump to be indicted.
	He really does. Makes him a hero, a martyr.
	Joe Tacopino.
	Tacopino, I guess, is how you pronounce his name.
	I don't watch TV, so I don't know how they pronounce his name.
	But I've read about him quite a bit.
	So, he's been on TV quite a bit.
	Enthusiastically defending Trump in the court of public opinion, says this article from The Hill.
	And this article is by a...
	No, that's not this article.
	That's another article that is on The Hill by a former New York prosecutor.
	It's not this one. Tacopino's style has drawn comparison to that of his client, dismissing the probe as one that should prompt, quote, a healthy dose of disgust from the bar, the legal community, prosecutors, defense lawyers alike, But I think the thing that's interesting is that he defended Trump for lying.
	He defended Trump for falsely saying that he was unaware of the payment.
	And Trump's lawyer said on TV, of course that's not the truth.
	He knew about the hush money.
	And he claimed that the exchange in no way violated campaign finance laws.
	Which is what Michael Cohen pled guilty to.
	Daniels met with prosecutors and what she says was part of her quote, continuing fight for truth and justice, LOL. But let me tell you, I don't think, you know, that this is not a federal election campaign violation.
	That's a federal case. This is a local thing.
	Do they really have anything here to go on?
	I don't think so. But remember, What got Clinton in hot water?
	It wasn't the affair.
	It was the perjury.
	And Trump has insisted that he did not have relations with that woman, that porn star.
	And so, is he going to do that if he gets on the stand?
	I would be very worried about that if I was Trump's lawyer, that this is going to be a perjury trap.
	Can Trump actually come out and say, yeah, I said all this time I didn't do it, but yeah, I did do it.
	Or is he going to go Bill Clinton on all this?
	There's Takapina is a former Brooklyn prosecutor.
	He's represented a lot of celebrities.
	Michael Jackson, A-Rod, Don Imus and others.
	So he's a TV lawyer as well.
	And he's had a lot of experience with a lot of celebrities.
	But Tacopino told George Stephanopoulos, I don't know since when we've decided to start prosecuting extortion victims, he said.
	That's a good point. Where is the prosecution against Stormy Daniels for blackmail?
	He's vehemently denied this affair, but he had to pay money because there was going to be an allegation that was going to be publicly embarrassing to him, regardless of the campaign.
	But then, Andrew Weissman, a former prosecutor, Said the claim itself is problematic.
	He goes, this is an admission that he paid money, which he had been denying that he did.
	And the money was not for legal fees.
	That's the cover story, remember?
	Because the New York criminal case reportedly focuses on the crime of making false business records.
	His defense is a confession.
	So it's about making false business records.
	And now he's saying, well, I did. He said I didn't pay the money.
	Now he's saying he did pay the money.
	And, you know, he said it was for legal fees.
	It's not for legal fees. And so his lawyer, with all these interviews that he's getting, it kind of reminds me of Stormy Daniels' lawyer.
	Avenatti, right? He's soaking up the limelight, and so is this celebrity lawyer.
	He went on with MSNBC host...
	Ari Melber played a 2018 clip of Trump indicating that he had no knowledge of the Daniels payment.
	He called it a lie.
	Pecapino knowledge. Yeah, that's not true.
	Yeah, he didn't tell the truth there.
	But he said Trump could not violate the terms of the confidential settlement.
	So he has to lie in order to abide by the terms of the nondisclosure agreement he made with a porn star.
	This guy ought to be laughed off the stage.
	But conservatives are rallying around Trump.
	It doesn't matter what's going on.
	You see Senator Eric Schmidt, Republican of Missouri, says the left's conduct is similar to the conduct you find in a banana republic.
	Well, as that other Republican candidate said, let's not denigrate retail stores.
	The... Instead, you should say, this is the kind of conduct we see in Ukraine, okay?
	There's your real banana republic.
	Where the authoritarian state punishes its political enemies with criminal prosecutions in search of crimes.
	Well, you know, the Democrat conduct is very much like that authoritarian state, Ukraine, where Zelensky locked up the people that he defeated.
	After he became president, he locked up his political opposition.
	Why wouldn't the Democrats act like that?
	Because the Democrats created that state and fund that state and, you know, they use that state to money launder money back to them.
	The Ukrainian state that they created and yet the GOP can't help but go along with any war, you know?
	They look at all this stuff and they know it.
	But there's a war.
	Let's go to war. We've got to go to war.
	We've got a chance to go to war.
	Let's take it. So Baby Trump was out saying the rest of his father, that's Donald Jr., Baby Trump says the rest of his father would prove that Democrats are, quote, one step closer to taking the freedoms of the American people.
	Well, you know, baby Trump, I remember when your daddy did lockdown and when he threw away the rule of law and put in a medical dictatorship and pushed people onto universal basic income by taking their jobs and their small businesses that they had poured their blood, sweat, tears, and money into.
	I remember when that happened, baby Trump.
	If they can take him out, they're one step closer to taking you and your freedoms out.
	Yeah, this is all, oh, Trump is standing between you and the bad guys.
	It's like, no, Trump took our freedoms, baby Trump.
	He says, that's been the plan all along.
	Well, big daddy Trump already did it by executive order.
	One of the many authoritarian presidents that daddy Trump put in their baby Trump.
	Before we go to our guest, we have on Rock Vanguard, Thank you, Guard. Thank you for the tip.
	He says, thank you for all the truly important coverage of events and ideas, David.
	I'm sure Muriel Bowser also would thank you, but she likely is still recovering from testing positive for COVID after being...
	I wonder if the documentary crew followed her through that experience the way they did when she and Fauci wandered around D.C. pushing the jabs.
	Truly is amazing, isn't it?
	Well, we're going to take a break, and as I said, we're going to be joined now by Alexander Salter.
	He is an economics professor and a research fellow, and he's an author of many books.
	He's got two books coming out this year, not just about economics, but also about liberty.
	Stay with us. We will be right back.
	Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
	Hear, hear, hear! It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the 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.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The Common Man .
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.

	My name is Alexander Salter, and he is a fellow, a comparative economic research fellow at the Texas Tech Free Market Institute.
	And he is also associate editor of the Journal of Private Enterprise.
	He is an Associate Professor of Economics there at Texas Tech.
	And he has written several books in the past, and he's got two books that are coming out this year.
	The books are about economics and about liberty, and that's very important.
	And so I wanted to talk to him about those books as well as kind of current events.
	So joining us now is Alexander Salter.
	Thank you for joining us, Mr. Salter.
	Great to be back. Thanks for having me.
	Well, thank you. It's always great to talk to you.
	And we've got a decision that is going to be announced tomorrow about interest rates.
	I like this headline from Zero Hedge.
	Powell's Volcker moment.
	Whatever the Fed does on Wednesday will be a mistake.
	Because we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place between trying to tame inflation and a recession.
	So how do you see this? What do you think is, where are we right now in this?
	It is a bit of a tough scenario.
	The Fed's acknowledged it for one.
	That seems like plenty of time to adjust your portfolio so you don't end up in exactly this kind of position.
	So I think that this whole thing is rather farcical and does not speak well of the people who are actually running these institutions.
	That said, moral hazard is a problem.
	Every time a bank gets in trouble, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury come charging over the hill with taxpayer money to bail them out.
	So maybe they don't really have any incentive to pay all that much attention to how much risk is in their portfolio, whether it's optimally structured.
	Welcome to my show!
	Too big to fail is a fact of life.
	We know that the banks are going to get bailed out.
	Nothing's going to change that at this point.
	The silver lining to that is it actually does free up the Fed to focus on inflation.
	If you know that the Fed and Treasury are going to commit the public sector's balance sheet to throwing money at any and all distressed institutions, well, yeah, you can prevent a financial crisis.
	I don't recommend that strategy because it basically means you're going to have crony capitalism writ large in the financial sector.
	But given that that seems to be a fact of life these days, it does mean that the Fed should continue to try and fight its disinflationary strategy.
	And based on the latest inflation numbers that we're seeing, we might be close to neutral territory.
	There's a chance that another 25 basis point hike would actually get us where we need to be.
	But we'll have to see how the inflation data comes out in the next month or two.
	Well, you know, it is interesting.
	But, you know, this idea that they're going to, as you point out, if they're going to bail out the banks, then that kind of takes some of the jeopardy out of what they're doing with interest rates.
	However, Janet Yellen, who's a former Fed chair, now Treasury Secretary, has said, we're only going to do it for the big banks.
	We're not going to do it for the medium and small banks.
	And we've already seen a tremendous flight of capital.
	From small and medium banks because people in the marketplace said, well, I think that's what they're going to do.
	Now she has explicitly said that.
	Talk about that and talk about the threat to small and medium banks.
	Are we going to lose small and medium banks over this bailout?
	I'd like to take a minute and just marvel at the fact that we live in a world where being the manager of a bond portfolio for a regional bank is now considered a super stressful, high-risk job.
	That's not exactly the world that we thought that we lived in until recently.
	With more exotic financial instruments, investment banking, venture capital, maybe, but a bond portfolio manager at a regional bank now has one of the hardest jobs in the country, if not the world.
	That's rather amusing and depressing at the same time.
	In terms of the Secretary's comments, I don't buy it.
	They always say, this far, no farther, and then the next crisis comes along, and then surprise, someone else that didn't get a bailout previously gets a bailout.
	This is just US banking history.
	We bail out more, and we move the goalposts, and we change the rules, and we make them up as we go until there's basically very little incentive for anybody anywhere in the system to actually care about the risks that they've embedded into their capital structure.
	Now, you can say maybe it's a demand-side thing.
	Maybe the banks are being primarily irresponsible and the public sector is doing the least bad thing.
	Maybe it's a supply-side thing in the sense that the regulators are sort of winking and nudging and saying, go ahead.
	If anything goes wrong, the taxpayer will cover you.
	Regardless of who the first mover is, it's pretty obvious that this is a pernicious equilibrium.
	So ending too big to fail, ending moral hazard, even at small and regional banks, that really needs to be priority number one for a reform-oriented administration that, at least I personally hope, comes to the fore in 2025.
	Well, you know, you talked about reasonable allocation of capital.
	And of course, a lot of people have talked about ESG exposure of Silicon Valley Bank and many of these other banks that are there.
	And, you know, of course, what has happened with their bond portfolio and the fact that they kind of let this set there as circumstances were changing, there was that kind of mismanagement, but also the mismanagement that was there with ESG, how do you,
	Yeah. Because they've been set up as, you know, given a fiduciary trust to make money, and of course that puts that on the back burner.
	How do you see this in terms of its role of these bank failures?
	Certainly SVB, but did it play a role in Signature as well?
	I'm somewhere in the middle on this.
	Unlike the left, I'm sure ESG did play a role.
	Unlike many on the right, I don't think that it was the main or even one of the primary factors.
	I think that at the margin, it did contribute in terms of taking their eyes off the ball and distracting them with things that really have no fundamental relationship to any of the things that we want to do when it comes to banking or capital allocation.
	But I don't think that it was so much of a distraction that it excuses or otherwise explains how we overlook the basic error Mm-hmm.
	I don't think that any ideology, however fashionable, can really get in the way of that.
	You talk to any business student, undergraduate in the country about the relationship between bond prices and interest rates, they're going to give you the right answer because that's something that just everybody knows.
	This was a really, really basic oversight.
	I think that focusing on ESG and all these related social justice initiatives probably muddied the waters a little bit at the margin, but no, I don't think it can bear the lion's share of the explanation for what went wrong.
	What do you think about crypto? I've been saying all through the week that I believe that a large part of this was a move against crypto because they've been very explicit about the fact that they want to discourage banks being involved in crypto, especially over the last January and February this year.
	We've had one pronouncement after the other from both the Federal Reserve as well as You know, from people in government saying, get out of that after what happened with FTX. They have tried to imply that all crypto is, you know, to be shut down.
	And there were threats, and as a matter of fact, you had Barney Frank, who was on the board of Signature Bank and said, no, this is about crypto primarily.
	This is to send a warning sign about crypto.
	How do you see that playing into this and into some of these other ones?
	Because we had, you know, as some of these, you know, Signature Bank, from what I've heard, was not in as bad a shape as First Republic.
	And they're doing everything to keep First Republic alive, but they killed Signature Bank, and it was a key player in the crypto markets.
	When it comes to crypto, I'm a bit of an amateur myself, I confess.
	I have successfully predicted 20 out of the last two Bitcoin price corrections.
	So I'm a perpetual crypto skeptic who's just always proven wrong about everything.
	From my unlearned, unexpert perspective, that does seem to be one of the factors explaining the policy responses that we're actually getting.
	Mm-hmm. It's all well and good to say that this is about financial stabilization and maybe you can make a case for the policies that we're actually seeing being the quote unquote optimal policies.
	It's hard for me to overlook the fact that certain players in Washington have a golden opportunity to use this policy ostensibly for other purposes in a way that also rewards their friends and punishes their enemies.
	It's very difficult to overlook that.
	And we seem to be getting more of that in politics these days.
	Yeah, they made it very clear from a political standpoint that they really don't want crypto there.
	And I think they see it as a competitor to what they would like to push out, which is the Fed coin, a central bank digital currency.
	How do you see that? I have been paying more attention to the central bank digital currency issue, and that's something that I am very, very strongly against.
	Because you know exactly how that's going to go.
	First, they start with the pilot program, which they're already doing.
	Then they extend it to financial institutions only.
	Then they extend it to households, right?
	So it goes from being wholesale to retail.
	And then after that, the screws start tightening on all the substitutes.
	And before you know it, the entire economy is roped into using a payment system that gives the centralized federal government direct control and supervision over the entirety of the payments processing system.
	I'm sure that won't have any pernicious effects at all.
	We can trust the government with that power, right?
	It's not like they'd burned us in the past.
	So I think that we got to stop this thing at square one.
	No pilot programs.
	None. Congress should step in and say, uh-uh, not happening, not on our watch.
	No pilot programs, certainly no wholesale, and absolutely never, never, never no retail, because we know exactly what's going to happen after that.
	This is not about improving the efficiency of the payments processing system.
	There are many, many other ways that we could do that, and we should do that, because the U.S. payment system could stand for an update or two.
	But that's not what this is about.
	This is about control.
	This is about power, and we shouldn't let it come to that.
	Yeah, and of course we had a federal governor who said, look, this is about sending money to people quickly.
	We can do that right now.
	You know, we've got all these different apps that do it.
	We've got Cash App, we've got Zelle, we've got Venmo.
	And it was interesting to me that as all this stuff was unfolding last week, you had all of these mainstream media articles attacking Zelle.
	They weren't attacking it as being insecure.
	They were attacking it because people were losing their credentials Well, people can lose their credit card credentials over a phishing attack.
	That had absolutely nothing to do with Zelle, but Zelle is a competitor, and they're going to have FedNow, which is the wholesale part that you were just talking about.
	They've announced that that's going to roll out in July.
	And, of course, the big selling feature of it is that you can send money or receive money 24-7, 365.
	That's already there in the private sector.
	You're right when you say it's going to go wholesale and then they're going to go to retail.
	We've had some pushback against this by House Majority Whip Emmer, who has said we need to block And prohibit the federal government from going direct to consumers with us, the retail part of the Fed coin.
	And we need to prohibit the Federal Reserve from using CBDC for monetary policy.
	But of course, that's not going to get signed.
	And then yesterday we had Ron DeSantis hold a press conference talking about big brother digital money.
	But nobody was interested in anything he had to say except what he had to say about Trump.
	And so he's showing the problem, and he's got a different solution.
	And I want to get your comments on this.
	His idea is to have states in the Uniform Commercial Code, UCC, to have them prohibit the use of central bank digital currencies.
	What do you think about that? Would that work?
	Yeah.
	center.
	I'm a big federalist.
	I like seeing those sort of decentralized solutions.
	I worry though, that this is one of those issues where if we lose in Washington, we're eventually going to lose everywhere.
	Just by the nature of the technology and the nature of the payment system, given the economies of scale and having it cover pretty much everything at once, then unless we have these successful actions in the national capital where they need to happen, we're just setting ourselves up for losing slowly, which isn't the same thing as saying, don't we're just setting ourselves up for losing slowly, which isn't the same thing as saying, don't fight the fight at the state But there's only going to be so much that you can do if you want to stop that coin from ever becoming a reality.
	We really need Congress to stand up and basically say, this is never happening on our watch.
	Yeah, yeah. And I'm afraid it is.
	It is happening, and it's happening very quickly.
	And so part of this, I see this, once everybody is banking with the Federal Reserve, Then you're not going to have any need for small and medium banks.
	They'll all go away. They'll probably be these too big to fail banks.
	They'll probably find some way for them to participate financially in this so that they can help them in all of this.
	But that's the other trend that happened this last week.
	Besides the overt attacks, I believe, on crypto that were part of these bank closures, I think this whole idea, this panic about, I've got to get my money into a big bank.
	And of course, what is the biggest bank that is too big to fail?
	That would be the Federal Reserve itself.
	And so all that panic and that fear, I think, is directing people to that.
	Let me ask you one more question about crypto.
	If you know about Silvergate, because that's odd to me.
	I was looking at this like Silvergate closes, and you have Signature Bank closes, and you have SVB closes, and everybody's saying two bank failures.
	I said, why are they not mentioning Silvergate at close?
	And they have plenty of money.
	They didn't need one penny from the FDIC to pay off all their creditors.
	They voluntarily closed.
	And they were very, very heavy in crypto.
	Are you suspicious that there was some coercion to get them to close voluntarily?
	Do you know anything about the Silvergate issue?
	That's not one that I've been following particularly closely.
	Which would significantly lessen the monitoring and control abilities of the federal government in terms of using the payments processing system to incentivize things that they like and disincentivize things they don't like.
	Well, you can't do that if there's a good outside option where people can go and actually have meaningful financial privacy, meaningful financial control on a decentralized basis.
	These things have a way of happening in stages, step by step.
	I like the possibilities that affords us I'm very skeptical of this direction that we've taken with financial policy and financial regulation, where the growing narrative seems to be the default is you need Uncle Sam's permission before you do anything.
	I don't think that's an appropriate way of framing the issue for a free democratic republic.
	That's right. It'll be constant surveillance and control, as we've been saying for quite some time.
	And, you know, it is interesting, and I think it really kind of heightened their understanding of how crypto was a competitor to them to see how the experience of the Nigerian government rolling out CBDC. They saw that there was a lot of Comparatively, there was a lot of interest and adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
	So I thought, all right, we can go with CBDC and we push this out.
	And they found that nobody wanted the CBDC. They all started going into Bitcoin and Bitcoin exploded.
	And so then they tried to...
	Confiscate cash. They said, we've got old cash, new cash.
	Nobody's going to honor your old cash.
	And it's been total chaos there.
	And so I think the Western banks, as they looked at that rollout, they're learning from it and they're adapting with it.
	But let's talk a little bit about your books.
	You've got a couple that are coming out this year.
	They're not out yet, I guess.
	The Political Economy of Distributism.
	Property, Liberty, and the Common Good.
	Let's talk a little bit about that.
	Tell us what that book's going to be about.
	Sure, I'm very excited about that one.
	That one's slated to come out on June 6th.
	It's going to be published by Catholic University of America Press.
	It's available for pre-order, so get online and click that mouse.
	That's what I would like to see.
	I'm engaging this debate that's happening mostly but not solely on the American right about whether classically liberal-oriented conservatism has failed and whether the free enterprise system needs a jolt of what's sometimes called common good capitalism in order to succeed.
	I'm very clear about my own priors and my own beliefs in the opening of the book.
	I'm much more libertarian, classical liberal, although I am a Christian and I'm a person of faith.
	I'm not Catholic, but I am an admirer of Catholic social teaching, which is why Catholic social teaching plays such a large role in this book.
	So this is my main attempt to be as charitable as possible to a side whose policy recommendations I disagree with, but whose philosophical approach to questions of liberty and human dignity I have a lot of sympathy with.
	Tell us a little bit about what the common good approach is to property and liberty.
	Right. So the common good approach, building upon Catholic social teaching, really builds on the great social encyclicals, the papal documents that the church put out starting in the late 19th century as Western economies really started to go full steam in terms of industrialization and the changing social trends that that also engendered, the changed relationship between work and agriculture.
	Agriculture started to become much less important.
	Urban labor started to become more important.
	That's really when you had the first time in history the prospect of something like we would consider widespread unemployment just in terms of the nature of work, the labor contract, and all that stuff.
	These are things that I celebrate as an economist who likes economic development.
	At the same time, I recognize the social tensions and problems they can introduce.
	And so I admire the church's attempt to set down some moral guidelines for how labor and capital can cooperate with each other for the common good, rather than just sort of view each other suspiciously as enemies.
	And so taking that approach and bringing it to the economic problems that we have today, it's pretty clear that we don't have an economic system that's terribly friendly right now in ways that it was in the past to liberty and dignity and the common good.
	Markets are becoming more consolidated, more subject to corporate control rather than actual competition.
	Small D democracy is being squeezed out in terms of the administrative state.
	The family is in terrible shape.
	We need to definitely work on that core social institution.
	These are all real concerns.
	Even if you're a libertarian or classical liberal who's very free market, as I am, these are important concerns.
	Because in order to have a flourishing market economy, you need civil society and politics to do its job in the background, which isn't to say that you necessarily need a modern hierarchical nation state, right?
	There are many other governance arrangements that we can envision, but something has to be doing the work to provide the social, political, and moral/spiritual capital necessary so that we can engage in market transactions in a way that's effective and dignified.
	And I'm worried that we're getting away from that model in terms of the political trends that have engulfed the United States really since the 2008 financial crisis, if not longer.
	I agree. I think if you go back and you look at the founders, they talked about consolidation.
	We talked about centralization, but we mean the same thing.
	And you're talking about how centralized everything has become, how all power and decisions are being removed from the local community.
	And it's making people, first it made them passive, and now it's making them powerless.
	And I think they would be absolutely amazed at what has happened now.
	And I think when you go back and look at the entire population of the 13 colonies at that time, you know, compared to just a small state today, I think the consolidation has...
	Made these people ungovernable, unaccountable to us.
	And that's the thing that most concerns me.
	And I think that we need to recover things in the local level.
	You say that you agree with them in general.
	What are some of the policies that they're talking about that you may or may not agree with in terms of making this happen?
	The goal with the policies is finding ways to make sure that ordinary households, just ordinary American families, ordinary households, have access to productive property.
	Because property households are independent households.
	They're going to have a stake in the social order.
	They're not going to easily acquiesce to this usurpation of power, both by Washington and general, and specifically the administrative state.
	That's the goal. The hard part is figuring out how to actually do that.
	Because in order for people to actually have this ownership mentality, there has to be a lot of things that they're willing to do for themselves and not necessarily outsource, even if it's to the market.
	But it can be very profitable to outsource certain functions to the market.
	It can be very profitable in terms of your private living standards to not be your own boss, to be an employee for somebody else.
	And these things might make sense for an individual household, for a county.
	But when you actually have an entire economy characterized by the fact that the ordinary or representative citizen really doesn't have any tangible access to productive property that they own and control, that minimizes their ability to basically say no to the market.
	That minimizes their independence.
	And given that, quote unquote, markets have become increasingly susceptible to corporate de facto political control.
	And I think that the reason that we see that is because corporations themselves have been politicized.
	Yes.
	Given that we're seeing that, it's very difficult to figure out what policies we should actually pursue at the margin to put property and hence dignity and liberty back in people's hands.
	Given that we're seeing that, it's very difficult to figure out what policies we should actually pursue at the margin to put property and hence dignity and liberty back in people's hands.
	You can talk about doing things with the tax code in terms of incentivizing small businesses and small enterprises.
	There are various debates over family policy.
	Family policy in terms of marriage and children is something very closely related to that.
	But it's not clear that any attempt that we've made in the United States has done all that much, even when we try and subsidize things or tax other things.
	There are various regulatory changes that you can pursue.
	What I'm mostly interested in doing in this book isn't setting out a concrete policy agenda.
	Here are the X, Y, Z policies we need.
	But it's trying to find a way for old school, classically liberal conservatives and newer common good conservatives to actually find some common ground so that we can work towards pursuing the policy agenda that we both want to actually achieve.
	achieve the goals that we'd like to see in terms of restoring democratic republicanism to this country.
	And, you know, I think when we look at it, it is perhaps that'll be something that comes out of the baptism of fire of this kind of digital money stuff that happens here.
	Because as people are looking at this, it's like, how do we get away from this constant push of We're good to go.
	And, of course, they're allowed to build as many power plants and they can make them as dirty as they wish.
	So we've outsourced energy production as well as all manufacturing to them for all effective purposes.
	And so when we start to bring some of that stuff back, if we start to bring that back out of necessity because we don't want to have a number stuck on us and have everything that we do tracked and controlled and turned into a privilege, I think that's going to be a necessity.
	I think as people are looking at this and saying, Well, is it going to be stopped in Washington?
	Most of them don't even want to talk about it.
	Is it going to be stopped at the state levels?
	Is it going to be stopped at the local levels?
	Is it going to be stopped by us doing something independent on our own?
	And perhaps...
	As we see this coming towards us, just as we saw with the lockdown, people were able to see what was happening in their child's classroom because they were doing classroom at home.
	Perhaps there will be an awakening for that in a kind of difficult way.
	You know, you're going to have to light a fire under people, I think, for us to take the path of greater resistance.
	It's so easy to outsource our lives just like we've outsourced our manufacturing to foreign countries.
	Let's talk a little bit about the other book that you've got coming out.
	When is that coming out?
	That is The Medieval Constitution of Liberty, Foundations of Political Liberalism in the West.
	That looks like a great book.
	I'd like to read that one. Well, thank you for that.
	And I'm excited for that one to come out too.
	That's also calendar year 2023.
	That one's going to be a little bit later.
	We don't have a concrete release date for that yet, but we know it's going to be either late summer or early fall.
	That's going to be with University of Michigan Press.
	And what's really interesting about that one is that we are publishing an online open access version.
	So if you have an internet connection or if you have a tablet or anything, you can just log online and read it.
	It is zero money price for electronic readers.
	We want to get the word out as widely as we can.
	So even though it's an academic book written primarily for other scholars who are working on the deep causes of liberty and economic development, this is something that we also wrote with the goal of being intelligible to a wider audience as well.
	And we want as many eyeballs on it as we possibly can because we think it's an important debate that many people should be as conversant with as possible.
	Yeah, yeah, very much so.
	Tell us a little bit about the medieval constitution of liberty, the origins of, how did that, how did people start to turn towards liberty, medieval times?
	Absolutely. So the way that we approach the topic is actually through this debate of why did the Great Enrichment happen in Western Europe first, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and then eventually the rest of Europe and then North America.
	And so there's a broad agreement amongst economists and political scientists that the ultimate cause is good institutions.
	Rules of the game that promote markets, commerce, property rights, the rule of law.
	That's all well and good, but now you push the analysis back one stage.
	Okay, what causes good institutions?
	Where did those institutions come from?
	There's always one more stage that you can go back.
	And the dominant explanation amongst development economists today, I and my co-author actually are not terribly fond of.
	You talk to most development economists and they say, well, it started in the Renaissance and culminated in early modernity with the construction of centralized, hierarchical, coherent states.
	Because you needed well-governed states to implement a uniform rule of law, to minimize the excess burden associated with taxation.
	You needed this thing that they call state capacity.
	Governments needed to be strong enough to do all the right things, provide public goods, uphold the law, do these things.
	Well, if you know anything about human political history, you know that strong states can just as easily be used to do really, really nasty things to people, to do really, really nice things to people.
	Look at countries like the Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea.
	In terms of their ability to inflict misery and just destroy lives, that's a lot of state capacity.
	The government is capable of doing things.
	It just does the wrong things because it uses that awesome coercive power to ruin people.
	And so the question really needs to become...
	Why was state capacity, if that's important, why was it used responsibly in Western Europe first?
	What changed?
	Normally, the incentives associated with political power are to prey on people, not to help people.
	So something must have forced the people with power to do the right thing.
	I and my co-author actually say it's the political and economic inheritance of the high Middle Ages that actually forced state capacity to be used in a productive rather than a predatory way.
	And we highlight, as the book's title suggests, the medieval constitution, the de facto governance arrangement that promoted a balance of power, representation, checks and balances, all these things that are embodied in the U.S. Constitution in a formal written down sense, were hundreds of years earlier embodied in medieval were hundreds of years earlier embodied in medieval Western European governance institutions on a de facto basis.
	It's not like anybody thought to sit down and write a formal constitution governing the estates of the realm.
	But when you have this system that evolved after the fall of Rome, where you had the burgers, checking the nobles, checking the king, and you had checks and balances, and you had parliaments, actual representative assemblies that were a genuine innovation in terms of legal and political history.
	All these institutions evolved to solve specific and local problems, but they fit together just the right way like pieces of a puzzle to promote a general culture of liberty.
	And so when you look at what the early Enlightenment thinkers were talking about, when you eventually get to thinkers like Locke and Montesquieu, they were ultimately theorizing about relationships and political institutions that Europe in many ways had already had for centuries.
	And so to the extent that the narrative amongst economists these days is we only got rich because we got away from the chaos of the high Middle Ages of medieval Europe.
	My co-authors say, uh-uh, it's because we had that heritage that informed the state building process that we got nice stuff in the first place.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, because as you pointed out, you know, there's not a formal constitution for most of this kind of tradition that they have in the UK.
	You know, traditions of free speech and traditions of trial by jury and other things like that.
	Going back to Runnymede and so forth and building upon that is just kind of setting down precedence.
	What I see that really scares me to death is how in the UK, for example, they are rapidly, rapidly laying down new traditions that contradict all of that.
	It used to be such an important value of free speech, for example.
	They would celebrate it on Speaker's Corner at Hyde Park.
	People would stand up on a soapbox and the police would gather around to protect the people who were speaking.
	Because typically they'd get up and talk about something that was controversial, politics, religion, that type of thing.
	And they would protect the speakers.
	That has changed now to the extent that you've got police who are arresting people who are silently praying in some circumstances.
	And of course, I witnessed and I saw it change very rapidly in the 1980s.
	My wife and I went, and we love to go to Speaker's Corner and listen to people debate and speak.
	But then 20 years later, when we took our kids and went there, there was kind of a mob mentality, an intolerance that was there.
	And the police were getting very concerned about even protecting that.
	And now the police themselves have been going around and enforcing essentially thought crimes, hate crimes, all these other things happening.
	It seems like throughout the West we're losing that, even though we have it written down in a contract here that they swear to as a condition of their office.
	They pretend as if we don't even have a written constitution with that.
	I mean, how do we – and I guess that's one of the reasons why I think it's important to go back and look at the origins of this.
	Because we seem to be losing the foundation right now, don't we?
	That's a good way of tying into the subtitle of the book.
	And the subtitle of the book is The Political Foundations of Liberalism in the West.
	We're ultimately explaining enduring traditions of political and economic liberty.
	Liberalism is the philosophy of the Enlightenment.
	It does not mean, contrary to how it's used in the United States, the left side of the American political spectrum.
	The word of liberalism means liberty.
	It means freedom. And so we need to understand exactly where these traditions of liberty came from and why we're losing them.
	One of the reasons that we're losing them is we are actually turning our back on liberalism itself.
	The philosophical foundations of our societies and our institutions people have largely lost faith in.
	And it's not so much an act of turning against it in some cases as it is that most people just don't care.
	This seems to be the trend of the time.
	They're not much interested in understanding where these ideas come from and why they're so important, which is one of the reasons that we wrote the book.
	This was not intended to be a political book in the sense of advocating for a program or anything like that.
	We're very much doing deep history scholarship, speaking to these abstract and some people might say ivory tower debates.
	But even academic research projects are motivated by some important human moral concern, right?
	Take every doctor, every medical doctor who works on important problems.
	Medicine might be a science, but the reason that you want to cure people is because you think that death and disease are bad and you want people to flourish.
	It's the same with what we're doing in this book.
	We want to have a flourishing, healthy society.
	We think that liberalism is what gets us that.
	So we want to understand where it came from as well as why it seems to be on the retreat.
	I think that's right.
	That's a great way to put it. You don't try to go over all the different counterfeit money.
	You just learn what the real thing looks like.
	Of course, now they're changing the money so quickly.
	But I think it all began when the authoritarians stole the name liberal for themselves.
	The people we identify as liberal right now don't support free speech.
	As a matter of fact, what we were talking about earlier, censorship has gotten so bad, the first reaction of many people in Congress was, well, how do we censor social media so that they can't feed a bank run or whatever?
	It is their first impulse.
	To their credit, they don't seem to be very interested in even calling themselves liberals anymore.
	They're back to using progressives.
	Points for honesty there, at least.
	Progressively authoritarian is what I think they need to call themselves.
	We're progressing towards something.
	Yeah, they're progressing towards the...
	The bottomless pit here.
	Thank you so much. It's great talking to you.
	And, you know, when the book hits, maybe we'll get you back on, talk about it a little bit more.
	awsalter.com.
	S-A-L-T-E-R. awsalter.com is the website.

	Thank you so much for joining us.
	It's my pleasure. Thank you for having me.
	It was a great conversation. Thank you.
	you always enjoy it we'll be right back folks 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.

	Well, as we look at how quickly things are changing again, part of it is grabbing terms that are favorable, like liberalism and taking it for your own.
	And then when that becomes thoroughly discredited, as Mr.
	Salter was saying, you can change it to something else, progressive or whatever.
	We now have a British charity, Oxfam, releasing its Inclusive Language Guide, because it is all about taking over the language.
	If you control... The terminology, you have the high point in terms of any debate.
	This has always been the case.
	This is why the Associated Press has always been so adamant about, well, do we call people illegal aliens?
	No, I think we call them undocumented workers, whatever, you know.
	Or the abortion issue, for example.
	You could never be pro-life.
	Never refer to people as pro-life.
	They are anti-abortion rights.
	And so you can see the clear political agenda there in terms of the terms that they have chosen.
	And if we allow them to do that, we have surrendered the high ground of this political debate to them in the first place.
	And then you added that censorship.
	So Oxfam is also saying the terms mother or father should not be used.
	Instead... The term parent should be used instead.
	These are subtle things, you might say, but they make a big difference.
	And this is something that has been put out by a lot of academic issues as well.
	But I thought it was also interesting in terms of the current obsession that everybody has with the stormy weather around Trump.
	They said they want to see the term sex worker used instead of prostitute.
	What about a porn star?
	Is that a sex modeler or something?
	Should we start calling Stormy Daniels a sex worker, sex modeler?
	It's absurd. Look, don't use their terms.
	Defy what they have to say.
	As a matter of fact, we just had a mom who has now had to file a lawsuit Because she was ratted out to law enforcement for questioning polysexual school poster.
	Do we even know what polysexual means?
	Do we want to know? I don't really care, quite frankly.
	A mother of two in New Jersey has filed a lawsuit over an alleged smear campaign that was spearheaded by a military officer.
	This is what happens when we wind up with the military with the priorities that have now been set up for the military.
	Just think about that. We have a military that the people that are left standing for the most part are people who are going to be completely compliant with the vaccinations.
	So if you have any religious objections to that, Or any concerns about informed consent or any concerns about constitutional liberty or the freedom of religious expression or your conscience?
	Well, you've got to get out of the military.
	You're going to get thrown out of the military.
	And then the people who take it and have adverse relationships with it, well, they're going to be out because they will be dead or physically injured.
	And so the people that will be left will be the people who...
	We don't have any consequences from this yet.
	Maybe it'll show up eventually, but it'll be enough time that maybe they won't make the connection, and so they're going to have a group of people who will be more than willing To use force against people who refuse to do it.
	That's a big part of this.
	But it's also the military that is completely compliant with the restructuring of our society, its moral foundations and the rest of this stuff.
	And I think this is an example of this in this military officer who goes to war with this woman because she opposed on Facebook a polysexual poster That was directed at her seven-year-old daughter in school.
	The lawsuit, which the Thomas More Society filed on behalf of Angela Redding, alleges that the North Hanover Township's police chief, along with military personnel at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix Lakehurst, demanded the removal of her Facebook post.
	What? What country do we live in?
	We have the police chief...
	And military personnel to base telling you that you can't post something on social media.
	Our First Amendment writes that these people who are military personnel and these people who work for law enforcement, they have to swear to uphold the Constitution.
	So they're oath breakers, first of all.
	And then they're snitches.
	They're Stasi snitches.
	They portrayed her as a security threat.
	So they're also liars.
	There's no security threat about opposing inappropriate sexual education about your child.
	And they reported her to several law enforcement agencies in an attempt to silence her.
	They reported her to several law enforcement agencies.
	Ms. Redding's November 22, 2022 Facebook post was made as a private citizen from her personal social media account to a discussion group about New Jersey schools.
	In it, she shared how she had attended an elementary school math night the previous evening with her seven-year-old daughter, who, after reading LGBT-affirming posters in the school's entry, asked her mother what polysexual meant.
	Mrs. Redding merely questioned why elementary children were being invited to research topics of sexuality.
	Noting that it is not in the state educational standards nor the Board of Education approved curriculum, Mrs.
	Redding did not name schools and also invited respectful debate.
	The post was removed and was followed by a campaign spearheaded by a U.S. Army Reserve major.
	Christopher Schilling.
	The post was forwarded to the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security.
	This intention to trigger a preposterous widespread law enforcement investigation and a state of alarm over Mrs.
	Redding's protected speech as if it were an incident of potential or even actual criminality is a violation of Mrs.
	Redding's civil rights.
	You see, this is what is dangerous about making speech a crime.
	This is what's dangerous about saying anything that is hateful.
	Anything that hurts somebody's feelings is a crime.
	Because this has been and will be weaponized.
	We've seen this over and over again in the UK and in other places in Europe.
	We know that it is coming here.
	Here's a Christian teacher fired for saying that homosexuality is invading the church.
	Well, you know, he's wrong about that.
	It's not invading the church.
	It's taken over the church, obviously, by the fact that they fired him.
	There is a new religion that has taken its place.
	And we have a couple of new religions, the new ascending religions that we have.
	Our environmentalism and LGBTism, I guess we could call it.
	But those two are the religions that we must all bow to.
	They are the ones who are in control because they are the ones that you cannot criticize.
	And yet we have an Oregon teacher who is caught asking students to describe their sexual fantasies in short stories.
	Now, I don't know, when we crossed the Rubicon, So that a teacher like this is not just summarily fired, but she's investigated for inappropriate activity with children.
	And again, that's a big part of the issue that is going on with drag queens in schools and public performances and all the rest of this.
	It is being portrayed as people are pushing back against it.
	They're portraying DeSantis and others who are pushing back against this.
	Oh, he's just about censoring books in school libraries and all the rest of this stuff.
	Pornography is what they're focused on.
	Pornography directed at children.
	That's not about free speech.
	And these people who want to censor everything that they see on social media, who want to punish and lock people up, as this army major did and this police chief did, they want to put people in prison.
	For their speech. But when it comes to pornography for children, oh, don't touch that.
	That is sacred.
	You understand what a twisted version of reality and the Constitution and everything that society has ever been about.
	But in this particular case, this is a high school in Eugene, Oregon.
	Parents were horrified to discover that the kids were being asked to write short stories describing, quote, sexual fantasies, unquote.
	And they ruled out some explicit acts.
	We'll just put it that way.
	But it is absolutely amazing.
	That this is what it has come to in our Brave New Schools, isn't it?
	And I think part of it is that we don't really know how to push back against this.
	Here is a...
	This is a clip.
	This is an interview clip that had mainstream media talking to...
	I don't know this person.
	I've never seen them before this.
	But she wrote a book about wokeness.
	And they asked her, as part of the interview, she's pontificating, you know, about whatever, please define what woke is.
	And she's just written a book about wokeness.
	And watch what happens.
	...Americans consider themselves very liberal, and probably fewer of them consider themselves to be woke.
	And so, you know, when we spoke about traditional...
	What does that mean to you? Would you mind defining woke?
	Because it's come up a couple times, and I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
	So... I mean, woke is sort of the idea that...
	This is going to be one of those moments that goes viral.
	I mean, woke is something that's very hard to define, and we've spent an entire chapter defining it.
	It is sort of the understanding that we need to totally reimagine and redo society in order to create hierarchies of oppression.
	That's Marxism. Sorry, it's hard to explain in a 15-second soundbite.
	Yeah, take your time. Yeah, take your time.
	We've got plenty of time here. We got an interview about your book about wokeness.
	Can you tell us what wokeness is?
	Well, it's really hard to express.
	Yeah, it went viral.
	It should go viral.
	That's Bethany Mandel, the author.
	Who clearly doesn't know what she's writing about, doesn't know her topic.
	Look, if you're going to rearrange all of society, if you're going to tear down society, and you're going to rearrange all the power structures, it's a revolution, it's a common Marxist thing.
	That's why I don't even like the term woke.
	What does it mean? These people are not awake.
	They're fully asleep.
	They're useful idiots.
	They're youthful idiots.
	They're not woke about anything.
	They're a bunch of, it's a Marxist mob.
	To tear down our culture, our religion, our society, all of our institutions, and create their own authoritarian structures based on intolerance, based on your unconditional obedience to them, making themselves into gods.
	So again, it's just another example of why I hate that word.
	The people who use it don't even know what it is.
	But we get accustomed to these things.
	You know, when we look at these Orlando, these drag shows, we had the one that was in Miami.
	It was a Hyatt Hotel.
	Now, the Hyatt Hotels are owned by the Pritzker family, you know, or at least where I don't know if they've sold off all their interests.
	You know, we have Governor Pritzker in Illinois.
	I've shown many times his cousin, who is a doppelganger for him, except his cousin dresses as a woman, right?
	Every time I look at that, I think of the Beverly Hillbillies and Jethro and Jethreen, his cousin.
	But yeah, the Pritzker family has been at the forefront of pushing all this transgender insanity.
	And it is insanity.
	It's absolute insanity for the longest time.
	And so it's not a surprise that it would be a Hyatt Hotel holding a Christmas party.
	With a lot of lewd and suggestive drag queen stuff and have it for all families.
	And so the state of Florida said, well, we're going to pull your liquor license.
	We warned you about this.
	And they collected examples of it, and then they pulled their liquor license.
	Well, this same show was done in Orlando as well.
	Not just in Miami at the Hyatt Hotel, but also in Orlando.
	And so the undercover agents who were there said they saw nothing lewd at the Orlando drag show.
	This is moving the Overton window in a real dramatic way.
	For example, you have skits like Screwed Off the Red-Nippled Man-Deer and things like that.
	And the lewd dancing and everything.
	But they don't see anything wrong with that.
	I guess they worked vice for so long that they've gotten desensitized to it.
	They don't see a problem.
	The agents took photos of three minors that were at that Orlando drag show.
	They appear to be accompanied by adults, so I guess that's okay.
	I mean, there used to be a time when there were movies that you couldn't go see, even if you were accompanied by an adult, if you were a minor.
	I guess we're more enlightened now.
	We've moved on from that primitive morality to say that anything that you want to do around kids is okay.
	Anything that you want to do to kids is okay as well.
	We don't need to be concerned about that old-fashioned morality.
	And you know, we just recently had, and I didn't show the video of it, it was just too disgusting and cringy and made me want to vomit to ever watch it a second time.
	It was Drew Barrymore who's got a talk show.
	And she gets down on her knees to literally worship this guy who is a trans activist dressing as a woman.
	And now there's a video coming out, and I won't burden you with showing this to you.
	This is, the guy's name is Dylan Mulvaney.
	He pretends to be a six-year-old girl in a TikTok video.
	There is no end to the insanity.
	And of course, as I've said many times, this is all about, it's about grooming the kids to, because if they can make up their mind, That they are a different gender, that they can even physically mutilate themselves, and of course they can consent to sex.
	That's the real issue here.
	I said that for the longest time.
	But beyond that, they are trying to push an agenda that is detached from reality.
	That's why you see so many people, you know, oh, I imagine I'm a cat and so forth.
	And if they can push us into a controlled virtual reality, well, in that reality you can be anything that you want to be.
	What was it? Ready Player One?
	Was that the Steven Spielberg thing?
	I got it right this time. How about that?
	Eventually I learned the title. Ready Player One, of course, you know, in that you could be any gender that you wanted to be.
	You could be any creature that you wanted to be, real or fictional in that virtual reality.
	And they want you to just hang out in that fantasy world because they want to take you and your children out of reality.
	And we have to fight against that with everything we can.
	New York Attorney General, by the way, we're talking about politicized things, Leticia James.
	She is a state attorney general.
	Of course, the guy coming after Trump is a Manhattan district attorney.
	But she decided that she was going to host and celebrate a Drag Story Hour read-a-thon.
	This is how entrenched people This is in the halls of government, and of course she's been one of the most politicized prosecutors.
	I remember she was the one who was threatening lawsuits over anybody who said that silver is something that helps to kill bacteria and other things like that.
	And of course that is proven true, but she wanted to shut that down everywhere.
	And we see that even on Fox News, They try to take a middle road.
	They're afraid to confront this directly.
	You have the Fox News host saying, well, you know, I love a good drag show.
	Just not for kids, but drag shows are great.
	Yes, oh yes, they all say, we have absolutely no problem with this.
	We're going to lose if we can't call evil evil.
	If we're going to call evil good, if we're going to bend over backwards to be tolerant to these intolerant demands.
	We have put ourselves in an untenable, unwinnable position.
	That's it for today's show.
	Thank you for joining us.
	Thank you.
	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.
