	www.fema.org You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 22nd of March.
	Year of Our Lord, 2023, day 1,105 of the emergency.
	We have the former director of the CDC, Redfield, telling us there's going to be more pandemics, and it's going to be even worse, and it's going to be a lab leak and all the rest of this stuff.
	We have Fauci's shills coming out with more improbable stories.
	But it's all a lie. And I find it incredibly interesting that there still is no discussion of what happened with the press conference of Ron DeSantis where he talked about CBDC and offered a possible solution to block it.
	Now, everybody wants to focus on the circus.
	Everybody wants to focus on the Manhattan melodrama.
	Everybody wants to make this about a horse race or a wrestling match.
	We'll talk about that when we come back.
	Well, for the most part, for the most part, everybody kind of ignored the whole purpose part, everybody kind of ignored the whole purpose of the
	As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even known about it considering the complete media blockout.
	I reported on it yesterday.
	And as I said, then there were no articles on the sites of any of the places that I typically look.
	And that includes mainstream media.
	That includes alternative media.
	Still no articles today.
	The only places that covered it We're crypto publications like Coindesk and other things like that because they understand what's going on.
	And they understand just as the federal government understands.
	This is the CBDC and crypto are not going to be able to coexist.
	This town ain't big enough for the two of these cryptocurrencies.
	So one of them's got to go. And so they focused on it, but nobody else did.
	And it was kind of interesting to see a mocking article from a local Florida newspaper dismissing it as just a bunch of concerned conspiracy theories.
	It's no big deal.
	And in it, they or somebody else kept bringing in Alex Jones in order to discredit DeSantis.
	It's like, Alex Jones is all about Trump again.
	You notice that. He's on the wagon, he's off the wagon, he's on the wagon.
	Well, he's on the Trump wagon again.
	And so everything there at the site is all about Trump.
	Trump, Trump, Trump. Why? Because Trump's ahead in the polls.
	So that's who Alex is going to support.
	Whoever's got the biggest audience.
	He can get the biggest audience.
	But let me tell you, this is no conspiracy theory.
	It's rolling out very rapidly.
	And take a look at what is happening in the EU. Merchants are bracing for a cashless future.
	And they're talking about mandating...
	The acceptance of CBDC in the EU. And making it legal tender.
	Mandating it as legal tender.
	We'll talk about that in a second.
	But I want to play for you before we begin.
	Just to underscore what's going on and how proud Christine Lagarde is about the fact that they are confiscating all cash.
	This is a call, a prank call by some Russian comedians.
	They've done this over and over again.
	You've seen this many times where they...
	They call somebody and they think that they are talking to somebody else.
	And these Russian comedians are pranking them.
	Well, she thinks she's talking to Zelensky himself.
	And I don't know how they got the video of this, because usually it's just an audio clip.
	But this particular one, evidently she had her camera on, and they didn't, because they're not Zelensky.
	And it begins with her prepping like she's going on a date.
	Here's Christine Lagarde thinking that she's talking to Vladimir Zelensky, the hero.
	Everybody today in the West.
	Hello? Oh, I gotta fix my hair.
	Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
	I can hear you very well.
	Okay, Madam President, I know there are many protests in Europe against the electronic hero.
	What is the reason?
	We have to be ready. No, the problem is they don't want to be controlled.
	They don't want to...
	Yeah, but you know what?
	You know what? Now we have in Europe this threshold above 1,000 euros, you cannot pay cash.
	If you do, you're on the grey market.
	So you take your risk.
	You get caught, you are fined, or you go in jail.
	But, you know, the digital euro is going to have a limited amount of control.
	There will be control, you're right.
	You're completely right. We are considering whether for very small amounts, you know, anything that is around 300-400 euros, we could have a mechanism where there is zero control.
	But that could be dangerous.
	The terrorist attacks on France back 10 years ago were entirely financed by those very small anonymous credit cards that you can recharge in total anonymity.
	Mm-hmm. You know, the question is, now I think it's a joke, like a joke, that the next currency will be firewoods for Europe.
	Will be what? Yeah, you heard him right.
	Firewood. You're starving the people of energy.
	They don't want to be controlled. They don't want to have their cash taken away.
	That's what she said. You know, they don't want to be controlled.
	You notice how similar she is to Fauci?
	I just played for you that clip yesterday, that NPR program.
	It was done about six months or so ago, and that clip just surfaced yesterday.
	And I played that for you, and, you know, Fauci grousing after all these people in the Washington, D.C. It's not a rich neighborhood.
	These people are black.
	You know, you look at the demographics of Washington, D.C., they all vote Democrat.
	The Republicans, they don't like to be controlled.
	No, they're Americans who don't like to be controlled.
	Americans better figure out what is coming with this CBDC. It's the same agenda, always has been.
	We'll walk you down, get a passport so we can control you.
	A vaccine passport, a CBDC, a digital ID, all of this stuff.
	They want to control you.
	They admit it.
	Why are we letting these tyrants continue down this path without stopping them?
	Well, I'll tell you why. Because nobody wants to talk about any serious issues.
	This is my big complaint about these pageants that we run, these selections, the presidential selections, where the candidates have already been selected.
	Who's allowed to run is already pre-selected.
	And, you know, pretty much anybody that is going to be in there has already been vetted to be friendly to the powers that be.
	And so that would probably include DeSantis, ultimately, right?
	But if he's going to talk about this central issue, we need to support him because we need to support the...
	We've got to get this word out.
	I mean, you had Emmer two weeks ago, a little bit more than two weeks ago.
	Who gave a press conference.
	He's the House majority whip.
	He's the number three guy.
	He puts together the agenda.
	And he had Scalise there with him.
	Had a large number of co-sponsors with him.
	They were there to draw attention to what is being done to enslave us with CBDC. Nobody covered it.
	Pretty much nobody covered it.
	It was covered, again, by the cryptocurrency papers and, you know, press.
	Nobody else. And now you've got DeSantis doing it.
	And that's the whole point of his press conference.
	He had a podium there.
	Big Brother Digital Money was a sign there.
	And like I said, if I hadn't seen that sign, I wouldn't have even known that he talked about CBDC. Because I don't typically go through the crypto press.
	I go through alternative media.
	I go through mainstream media.
	They all chose not to cover it.
	And even the clip that I played yesterday, which was a higher quality, Forbes put that up.
	Now, Forbes should have been interested in economics, don't you think?
	Forbes cropped it.
	So that you didn't see the sign there.
	But I went ahead and used that clip anyway because it was a better quality than the one that's on Twitter.
	And it was longer. They had the entire...
	They put up on their YouTube channel the entire 33-minute press conference.
	And I took those clips from the full press conference.
	But they don't want you to see that sign.
	Big Brother Digital Money.
	What side are they playing on?
	And whenever you have these presidential debates...
	Well, they don't include all the candidates that are on the ballot.
	They never include all the issues that are before us either.
	It's always the same things that they talk about.
	You know, if you look at the debate that happened in 2020 or 2016 or 2012 and go on and on, it's no different than the subject that they were talking about 40 or 50 years ago.
	It's always the same thing.
	But then they'll mix it up because they want to have conflict.
	They want to have some professional wrestling.
	They'll mix it up by saying, well, he said this about you.
	Can you respond to what he said about you?
	Oh, well, he said, you know, that's what they're doing.
	And that's what they're doing with a press conference that DeSantis did about CBDC. We've got to fight this.
	We've got to make this, get people to understand that people like the European Central Bank, or she's head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, she's bragging about the fact that they're making a crime if you have more than a thousand euros.
	And that's why, you know, he says, so I guess the currency is going to be firewood because you're shutting down everybody's cash.
	You're shutting down everybody's energy, right?
	Firewood. What are you going to have left?
	Well, that's fine. I like a good fire.
	Maybe we could make some real bonfires of liberty.
	While plans to usher in centralized government-controlled money...
	Are receiving some pushback in the US. This is again, this is the article about what is happening in the EU. The European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde's little thing there.
	The consensus seems to be in Europe that they're in favor of introducing a central bank digital currency, the digital euro.
	This is only because the people don't understand what's being done to them.
	Of course, all the elites are.
	Of course, all the press is in favor of it.
	And there's no pushback.
	And there's very little pushback that you're going to be able to see here in the United States as well.
	It'll be spiked.
	And the Eurozone, made up of 20 of 27 EU members that have adopted the Euro.
	I didn't realize that they had not all adopted the Euro when I saw that.
	I thought they all had to do that.
	And as I said for the longest time, when you look at this plan, going back to the middle of the 20th century, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the father of his spawn, Mika Brzezinski, is on MSNBC with Joe Scarborough.
	He wrote several books about it.
	He wrote about between two ages, the role of the United States in the coming technocratic age, I think, or technocratic or something.
	He had some weird word.
	But what he was talking about and describing is what they're putting in now and largely already have.
	The idea that they're going to know what you're going to do before you do it because they're watching everybody's data.
	Anyway, you put something out there in the 1970s.
	Well, that's pretty Orwellian.
	That's pretty sci-fi. I don't see that happening.
	Well, it's already happened.
	And they just want to do it to a larger extent.
	But he also talked about and created the trilateral...
	The Trilateral Commission ran that.
	They picked him up then to run the Carter White House.
	And he got us into wars and a lot of other things.
	But his whole idea, the Trilateral Commission, we're going to have three regional concentrations.
	We'll have a regional concentration in Europe.
	We'll have a regional concentration in North and South America.
	And we'll have, especially North America.
	And then we'll have Asia as a concentration.
	And then it closely paralleled what they were trying to do with these trade agreements.
	You know, first it begins with a free trade zone, right?
	That's the way it did in Europe.
	They had a common market.
	And then after the common market ran for a while, they said, well, in order to make this work a little bit better and for us to be able to, you know, compete against the Americans, we need to have closer financial ties.
	And they kept getting closer and closer, you know, more and more things that they would do.
	Creating a free trade zone was not enough.
	They had to go to a currency.
	So they went to the euro.
	And, of course, as you create these consolidated entities and you have the common currency, and when you look at NAFTA, you look at the USMCA, which was just a bunch of nonsense by Trump.
	It's a relabeling of NAFTA. It changed nothing about the structure.
	It still was a supranational organization.
	Still was going to have U.S. laws subjugated to a commission.
	It was a treaty that was done without a formal treaty process.
	Everything that was bad about NAFTA was there.
	And, of course, Trump focused on a deal that he did about milk.
	Or the Canadian dairy.
	That's his big win. But it's just a relabeling of NAFTA, so he could claim that he had done something about it, but he didn't.
	In many ways, it was worse than NAFTA. But of course, they want to have a common trade zone.
	Then the next thing is to push for a common currency.
	And then they can unify everybody.
	Well, that was what the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Trans-Atlantic Partnerships were about.
	They'd already, you know, China was essentially...
	The Asian aspect of it.
	And the U.S. would be the center point.
	You know, we unite with China and some others with the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
	We unite with Europe with the Trans-Atlantic Partnership.
	And now we're getting to where we want to be.
	But the fast track to all this, that didn't work too well.
	So the fast track to all this is a central bank digital currency.
	Because once you get people united on the currency, you got them.
	That's why I say, there's all these efforts to push your digital ID, to have it connected to biometrics, and of course, that is useful, that's going for the tyrants, and that is going to be used, even if we have central bank digital currency, but they can get pretty much everything they need.
	In terms of tracking us with CVDC, yesterday Handy had sent me a patent that some people had for provenance, Of patients to track them.
	And of course, they put it on a blockchain and all the rest of the stuff, and they track every single thing that you're doing.
	That shows the intention of these people.
	And if you look at the patent, though, everything that is there could easily be done with CBTC. And they can keep track of everything that you're doing because you're always spending money.
	That's one of the ways that they track people down.
	They look at the credit cards. If they're a fugitive on the run, they start looking at their credit card account and see where they're buying things.
	They can do all of that.
	And really track where you are.
	Of course, that keeps record of when you got on the plane, when you got off the plane.
	But they can pretty much derive all that from CBDC. So it is the fastest way to get there.
	It's not the only way. They've got multiple ways that they want to come at us with this.
	And so we need not focus strictly and solely on CBDC. But it is the fastest way to get there.
	And it has to be stopped.
	So 20 out of 27 EU members that have already adopted the euro...
	They said that merchants might find themselves under obligation to accept a future ECB digital currency.
	And this is because of a paper that has been given to Eurozone finance ministers.
	They're supposed to discuss this on Monday.
	The obligation proceeds from granting the EU CBDC the same status as cash, making it legal tender.
	And that's what this fight is about the Uniform Commercial Code, the UCC.
	We had Governor Kristi Noem went on with Tucker Carlson, said there's, I vetoed this bill, but there's 20 other states that have this, where they alter the UCC, the Uniform Commercial Code, to prohibit crypto being used as money, and to redefine money to prohibit crypto being used as money, and to redefine money to include She said this has to be stopped.
	And so what DeSantis is doing is essentially saying, well, you know, we could specifically say, and if you can specifically exclude in the UCC that crypto cannot be used, you could also specifically exclude that CBDC, domestic and foreign, cannot be used.
	So another point in the paper, though, for ministers to debate.
	So they send this paper around and say, here's the issues that we want to talk about here, right?
	In this coming meeting.
	If there should be exemptions, whose goal would be to balance the principles of contractual freedom and mandatory acceptance, So they'll be debating whether acceptance of the EU digital money is going to be mandated.
	The ECB has yet to formalize the decision on issuing its CBDC. Yeah, right.
	Formalize is the key word here.
	They're working on it, just like everybody else, just like the Federal Reserve is working on it.
	But this is expected to happen in the fall.
	So they're going to formalize it in the fall, they expect.
	Now, that's very important.
	That's a clue for all of us to look at the timing of this because it will happen in the fall.
	What usually happens in the fall?
	Well, if you have a stock market crash or something like that, usually happens in, you know, October.
	That's where we've historically seen stock market crashes.
	If you have a stock market crash and manufactured economic crisis, well, they're going to be ready to roll this thing out very quickly.
	So that might be a clue about the timing of the manufactured crisis and the imposition of CBDC. Because we are all, this is a global agenda.
	It's not just one region or one country.
	The proposal is expected to be submitted in the second quarter of 2023 to establish the blocks CBDC and to regulate it.
	What else is happening in the second quarter?
	Well, in July, we've been told we're going to have FedNow, which is the wholesale part, the first step of CBDC. It's going to be rolling out in the United States in July.
	Coincidentally, because all these people are breathing together, that's what a conspiracy is, right?
	They're breathing together. They've got the same time frame to do the same types of things.
	Just as we saw, you know, well, we're going to start mandating because of this emergency pandemic.
	In two months, we're going to start mandating this next step.
	And then when two months happens and they mandate that next step, they make an announcement.
	And then two months from now, because it's an emergency, we're going to implement this.
	No, it's not an emergency. You'd be doing it all at once if everybody was dying from this thing.
	Instead, what they're doing is they're walking through a plan.
	It's disruption. And you do it from the inside.
	And you do it iteratively, as Fauci said in October 2019, as they were talking about how do they get everybody to take a new, novel, untested vaccine.
	I wonder what he could have been talking about.
	The proposal is expected to be submitted in the second quarter of 2023 to establish the block's CBDC and to regulate it, including around issues like its legal tender status.
	Privacy and anti-money laundering, financial stability, distribution compensation, the use of the digital euro outside of the euro area, etc., etc.
	So they will be rolling it out.
	Their first phase, I guess, will be this summer, just like our first phase will be this summer.
	So if they're going to have it formalized by the fall, perhaps ours will be formalized by the fall, and it will be accompanied by disruption chaos.
	Connecting the dots, COVID to SVB and beyond.
	This is from Cheryl Kaufman, amgreatness.com.
	She said the next logical step is for the government to insure all bank deposits, which is tantamount to nationalizing the entire banking system.
	That's what Roger Altman said from day one.
	Roger Altman, former Treasury Deputy Treasury Secretary under Clinton, he said by not paying the $250,000 as part of the FDIC insurance, he said by making all of the depositors whole, including people who have he said by making all of the depositors whole, including people who have multiple billions of dollars
	and doing it for two banks, you have effectively nationalized the system because you can't, you know, if you've done it for one, you can't say that you're not going to do it for the other, except that Janet Yellen has now said that.
	Which makes it even worse, quite frankly, in the short term.
	Because by Janet Yellen coming out and saying we are only going to bail out the too-big-to-fail banks, she says only if the bank is so big that it's going to have national importance will we bail everybody out.
	Well, even before she said that, there was this massive exodus, as I pointed out last week, to J.P. Morgan, to Bank of America.
	J.P. Morgan got the most money.
	Bank of America got $15 billion.
	Where did that money come from?
	People ripping their money out of small and medium-sized banks and putting it in the too-big-to-fail banks because they figured that's what they were going to do.
	She comes out and actually says the quiet part out loud.
	And so what this has done and their response to this has sent a shock through the system.
	And they can always say, well, plausible deniability.
	I didn't have anything to do with that.
	It's just banking circumstances.
	You know, people didn't look at their loan sheet balances and they didn't, you know, get rid of their bonds in time and all the rest of this stuff.
	And they had ESG investments and they were doing funny videos and spending millions of dollars on it.
	And then when that happened, we had to bail these people out because it was so big.
	But then that had a secondary effect and it scared everybody to do business with small and medium-sized banks.
	And now they're all gone.
	And well, you know, I guess that makes sense.
	And the The one bank that is definitely too big to fail is the Central Bank, Federal Reserve Bank.
	So you better put all your money with us and we'll just deal with you directly, you see.
	It's very important that these handful of banks that were created by Clinton with his approval of mergers They can be dealt with.
	They can be the leverage, as we've seen.
	They put together a package of $30 billion, about 11 of the banks.
	Some of them bought in at a $5 billion contribution.
	Some of them ponied up at $2.5 billion.
	Some of them just put in a billion dollars.
	But that's the too-big-to-fail banks plus the second-tier banks.
	And they put that into First Republic Bank.
	And so... The Federal Reserve can work with these people.
	They can give them carve-outs, special privileges, but they've got to get rid of the small and medium-sized banks.
	So, going back to the article by Cheryl Kaufman, she says a collection of seemingly random crises can spell out a sinister conspiracy theory.
	She said, first of all, the world economy was shut down with the COVID lockdown.
	No, it was shut down with the Trump lockdown, the China lockdown.
	The Trudeau lockdown.
	Let's give credit toward it. COVID didn't lock us down.
	We got locked down before anybody died.
	China locked down before anybody died.
	Again, going back to that headline that Gerald Slenty has referred to so many times.
	How many billion people do they have there?
	I don't know. Let's say 3 billion people.
	And China's saying a couple hundred people died.
	So lock the whole thing down.
	We locked everything down here in the United States before they had a single reported COVID death.
	And I don't believe any of those numbers.
	I'm like that guy who took on Muriel Bowser in Washington D.C. Those are your numbers.
	I've seen them manipulate numbers every year to sell a flu shot.
	I don't believe a single one of those numbers.
	It just astounded me.
	To see Mike Adams pushing the CDC numbers on the charts.
	Look, more people are dying of COVID than are dying from heart attacks and cancer.
	See? I just, I couldn't believe that when I saw that one day.
	I'm walking out of the place and he's doing the fourth hour.
	Just unbelievable.
	But anyway, it was a Trump lockdown.
	It was a Trudeau lockdown. It was a lockdown of all these different governors.
	Manufacturing stopped. Capital construction projects were put on hold.
	No one was making anything.
	Consumers were buying very little.
	The government then injected huge amounts of cash to stimulate spending.
	What was that about? I'm going to shut your business down.
	I'm going to take your job. But don't worry.
	I'll give you some universal basic income training.
	A stimulus check.
	Again, Trump betraying us with a lockdown.
	He used that lockdown...
	To change the way elections were done.
	He used that lockdown to change people's attitude to move the Overton window so that they would accept owning nothing, having no job, and accepting cash from the government.
	Universal basic income has been the plan for a long time.
	Elon Musk put all of his money on Andrew Yang because he was pushing universal basic income.
	They plan that you will own nothing and that you'll have no income except what they give you as a handout.
	And then they'll put a timer on it with a CVDC.
	The government injected huge amounts of cash to stimulate spending, even though there wasn't much to spend it on because of supply chain issues.
	This cash was created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve.
	Household savings then rose to very new heights in personal commercial bank deposit sort.
	And as she points out, she says, this is kind of counterintuitive for people who are consumers.
	We think of savings as an asset.
	That's a good thing for us.
	But for a bank, a loan is an asset because that's how they make their money.
	A savings account is a liability for them.
	You put money in the bank, that's a liability.
	So they've got to get rid of that somehow.
	They're not making any money when they keep it in the bank.
	They've got to loan it out to make money.
	Well, nobody was building anything or doing anything, so they couldn't make any personal business loans because Trump had locked everything down.
	So what they did was they invested it into Federal Reserve notes, Fed notes, right?
	And during the lockdown, you know, that's the only place they had to put it.
	The interest rates were very, very low that they're getting from the Fed.
	You know, that's much, much lower than they could loan it out to anybody.
	But again, nobody wanted any personal or business loans.
	So they loaned it out to the Fed, put that surplus into Fed bonds.
	Then as the economy started to recover from the shutdowns, all of a sudden you got massive inflation.
	And the Federal Reserve starts to raise rates faster than they have in 50 years.
	And what that did was that meant that their banknotes that were paying very little interest had to be marked down.
	Base value had to be marked down.
	All of a sudden now, you know, their stuff is they've lost a lot of money because of this whipshaw, right?
	This whiplash that's going back and forth.
	Just amazing, the move that Trump and the Federal Reserve made during 2020, just from a financial standpoint.
	Absolutely insane. Trillions of dollars, handing out free money to everybody, and of course the corruption that was involved in that.
	His PPP, more than 50% of the money is supposed to be helping small businesses.
	More than 50% of the money went to less than 5% of the companies that applied.
	A lot of small businesses were turned down because the banks could make more money.
	They've got to do the same amount of paperwork for a really big loan than they would for a small one.
	And they were making really big loans because Trump and his Goldman Sachs banker in charge of the Treasury Department, Steve Mnuchin, had redefined what a small business was.
	It wasn't somebody that has 500 or fewer employees.
	It was any location that had 500 or fewer employees.
	So that, you know, things like the Trump hotels would be included in that.
	But anyway, so this winds up with a situation where all of this, the banks are holding long-term bonds.
	That have very low interest rates.
	When loan demand picks up or customers start withdrawing cash, they would ordinarily sell the bonds to make the cash available or to turn it into more profitable loans to customers.
	The problem is that interest rates rose so fast that bankers were underwater on the bonds, which can only be sold at a loss since similar term bonds are now paying higher interest.
	Really good risk managers will have all of this stuff hedged.
	But not the risk managers at SVB. And she says the point is a sequence of events from shutdown to stimulus to inflation to rate hikes created major problems for banks.
	All this economic whiplash, this centrally controlled economy full of mandates and incentives and Yeah, just like they did to the medical side of this.
	Biden announced that the government and the Fed will cover all the deposits at the failed banks above the FDIC limit.
	So the next logical step is for the government to ensure all bank deposits, which is tantamount to nationalizing the entire banking system, which is what Roger Altman said.
	You can't say no to these other people because you've done it for two of them now.
	So you've effectively nationalized the banking system.
	Once that is accomplished, Putting in place the proposed CBDC is a snap.
	But again, remember what she doesn't point out here.
	Janet Yellen, former head, chair of the Fed, has said, we're not going to do it for the small and medium-sized banks, which is going to further complicate and further accelerate their collapse.
	And then when it happens, she'll pretend that she didn't know.
	Oh, they know. They know.
	This article from Coin Telegraph does talk about Ron DeSantis and the headline, a state governor and U.S. presidential hopeful calls for a CBDC ban in Florida.
	As I said, it's really difficult to find this information.
	It's really been spiked by the conservative press, which has become a lapdog of Trump.
	All we want to talk about is what's going to happen to Trump.
	So, there's still nothing on Breitbart.
	Still nothing on Daily Caller.
	Still nothing on Zero Hedge about DeSantis talking about CBDC. Isn't that interesting?
	Still nothing on WorldNet Daily or the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro's outlet.
	Nothing anywhere. Oh, they've got articles about what he said at that, you know, the horse race stuff.
	Well, I don't know about Hush Money to Porn Stars.
	That's everywhere. And the fight is on.
	Everybody's, oh, there's a fight now between, and how are they doing in the polls?
	The horse race aspect, right?
	I got a horse right here.
	His name is Paul Revere, right?
	The horse race aspect, where are they in the polls?
	How is this affecting this back and forth?
	And what did he say?
	And what did the other guy say back to him and all the rest of this stuff?
	That's the professional wrestling aspect, the hero in the heels aspect of that.
	Oh, they're all about that, all these outlets.
	Breitbart, Daily Caller, Zero Hedge, World Net Daily, Daily Wire, all of them.
	Maybe I can shame them into actually doing some real reporting about a real important issue.
	But they don't. And so I thought, well, how is this looking in the mainstream media?
	Well, there's nothing on drudge about it, although all of these outlets...
	Have this personal spat between DeSantis and Trump there.
	And the polls. All of them have that there.
	Multiple articles of many of these outlets.
	None of these mainstream media places talk about it.
	Fox doesn't talk about it.
	Drudge doesn't talk about it.
	Drudge is the aggregator for the left, okay?
	CNN? No.
	Politico? No. The Guardian?
	No. BBC? No.
	Reuters? No. NPR? No.
	Daily Mail? No. Washington Post?
	No. Nothing. New York Times?
	Nothing. Forbes?
	Nothing. None of these talk about The press conference DeSantis had, or CBDC. Search these sites for that stuff.
	None of the headlines. No articles about any of this stuff.
	Silence about CBDC. Silence about what DeSantis said.
	Wall Street Journal. No.
	Forbes, Wall Street Journal, none of these people.
	National Review. Nothing there either, right?
	None of these places.
	I found one mainstream article about that.
	And it was at the very bottom of their page.
	I mean the bottom right-hand corner.
	The last article.
	And that was at thehill.com.
	The Hill covered it.
	Nobody else.
	None of the quote-unquote conservative alternative news media.
	None, of course, of the mainstream media.
	Nobody talked about that. But everybody's talking about that press conference.
	Talking about the professional wrestling aspect of it.
	Talking about, well, now what are the polls saying after these insults have gone back and forth?
	All the rest of this stuff. And, of course, they're all talking about Trump's Manhattan melodrama.
	So, the only places that are covering it, like I said, are going to be the crypto press.
	Cointelegraph.com, for example.
	It says, Big Brother's digital dollar, quote-unquote, the March 20th press conference.
	That's what it was all about.
	Big sign there. DeSantis spoke out against the Federal Reserve issuing and controlling a central bank digital currency, or CBDC. He cited concerns over inflation in the country, over the Fed's increasing interest rates, and pressure on banks as an example of government policies directly affecting U.S. consumers.
	And then DeSantis said, 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. So, they said he's going to introduce legislation aimed at prohibiting modification to the state's uniform commercial code.
	This is portrayed as a paranoid conspiracy theory by the Florida Sun Sentinel, a paper that doesn't like DeSantis.
	But it's not.
	There are 20 states that have bills before them to modify the uniform commercial code, the UCC. To specifically redefine money as CBDC and to prohibit crypto.
	What he's doing is the opposite, but they present that as a paranoid conspiracy theory.
	There's no problem here.
	Why is he doing this?
	He pointed to China's rollout of its digital yuan in an attempt to, quote, monitor citizen behavior, allowing for the surveillance of spending habits, and to cut off access to goods and services.
	And he also talked about the Bahamas and their experiment.
	You know, they were the first ones to do it with what they call the sand dollar, slipping through your fingers.
	That's a good analogy. And Nigeria.
	He says, you're opening up a major can of worms and you're handing a central bank huge, huge amounts of power.
	Well, that's exactly the problem.
	And he spelled it out and even talked about the fact that Biden put out this report a year ago, that Biden wants to sell it to people based on climate agenda.
	And so the International Business Times did report it, and they said, this is their headline, Musk's U.S. presidential bet.
	Because Musk supported DeSantis or gave him money.
	I don't know. Musk's U.S. presidential bet urges CBDC ban suggests its government's way to surveil and to control citizens.
	He suggests that. Yeah, International Business Times.
	What a joke they are.
	And, you know, coin market recap.
	Florida's Ron DeSantis wants to ban CBDCs from the state again.
	Except for that mouthpiece, International Business Times, they're all crypto reports.
	And as I said, there's the one report from the Sun Sentinel, which I'll get to in a second.
	So this is what they had to say.
	They said DeSantis' bill would prohibit the use of a U.S. CBDC under Florida's Uniform Commercial Code, and it would also ban the use of foreign CBDCs.
	Whether or not he can ban it is another question, they said.
	While every paper note says it is legal tender for all debts, public and private, the Treasury Department has made clear That businesses cannot be forced to accept legal tender.
	A store can refuse to accept payments and pennies.
	For example, they can refuse to take bills larger than $20.
	Or, as one of the senators in Tennessee said when I was there talking about CBDC, he said, yeah, I just went to a restaurant that had valet parking.
	They wouldn't accept cash.
	They wouldn't accept a credit card.
	They wouldn't accept checks.
	They And they wouldn't even accept some of these cash apps, right?
	I had to use a particular cash app in order to pay these guys to park.
	So they can restrict any kind of payment that they wish.
	There is no federal statute mandating that a private...
	This is from the Federal Reserve. I'm quoting the Federal Reserve here.
	The Federal Reserve says there is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services.
	Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.
	You see, we can do some things about the Federal Reserve.
	And so, as I point out, a number of states have passed laws forcing businesses to accept paper currency, particularly as many businesses went cashless during the pandemic.
	Oh, it's diseased.
	I can't touch that. It's got COVID cooties on it, right?
	So some of the states reacted to that, said, no, you will accept cash now.
	So... That's important to understand because state laws can have a big effect on that.
	You can do certain things, but he points out mandating the use of cash, though, is a different thing than banning it.
	But in principle, it's not.
	If you can put law into the UCC code to say we're going to ban crypto, you can put law in the UCC code to say we're going to ban CBDCs.
	It's just that simple, and it can be done at the state level.
	That's why that was a very, very important Um, press conference.
	He wasn't just talking about the problem.
	He had a solution to it at the state level.
	And as he pointed out, Lieutenant Governor of Texas, he's been talking to.
	And of course, he's the head of the Senate there.
	He said, we're going to try to get something started in the Texas Senate.
	Uh, so, uh, this is the way the Florida Sun Sentinel came out.
	Very snarky attitude because they don't like DeSantis.
	So they don't like anything that he puts out, including this.
	And so they began their attitude, they began their article with an attitude, echoing recent claims by Alex Jones.
	So they used Alex Jones to denigrate DeSantis, even though Alex is now a Trump guy again.
	Echoing recent claims by Alex Jones and other right-wing personalities that the federal government wants to create a communist-style surveillance system to track the spending habits of Americans, Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday said he wants to ban such activities in Florida.
	So they use a clown to make DeSantis look clownish.
	The reality is that Infowars is one of those places I gave you the long list.
	Of all the alternative media as well as mainstream media that didn't talk about it, you can put Infowars right there.
	Oh, lots of articles about Trump and all the rest of the stuff.
	And, you know, articles about how DeSantis, you know, told the truth about Trump.
	We're talking about hush money for porn star.
	Isn't that the truth? Why is everybody so upset about that?
	They're upset because it's the truth.
	Just like, you know, Fauci gets upset if you tell people the truth about his vaccine or you tell people the truth about ivermectin.
	Well, the MAGA crowd has gone apoplectic because DeSantis told the truth about Trump.
	It is hush money.
	She is a porn star.
	There's no question about it.
	He just said the quiet part out loud.
	And it gets them really upset.
	Because when you say that, the MAGA cult realizes, I'm going to the mat for this guy?
	And I'm excusing his hush money to a porn star?
	Is that what we're doing here? Oh, okay, that's all right.
	There's 40 chests. We've got to get him back in the White House.
	I don't care what he does, right?
	He can fly with Jeffrey Epstein.
	And I mean that in the figurative term as well as the literal term.
	He can do whatever he wants.
	I don't care how degenerate he is.
	I don't care that he's fetting and celebrating the LGBT movement in Mar-a-Lago at the same time that Biden is celebrating the legislative definitions of marriage.
	You see, there's no difference between the two of them.
	There's no difference between the two of them on anything that matters.
	It's a distinction without a difference.
	It's professional wrestling.
	So anyway, it's all about surveilling Americans and controlling American behavior.
	They quote DeSantis.
	How do we know? Look at China, where they cut off access to goods and services.
	If you go and buy too much gasoline, they won't allow you to use this to make a transaction.
	Who knows? Maybe they won't allow you to purchase a firearm.
	And so the Sun-Sentinel The Sun Sentinel says, well, such a system currently doesn't exist in the U.S., and it isn't likely to happen for years, if ever, according to federal officials.
	Oh, well, you can just relax then, you know.
	Well, it's not here now, and, you know, it'll take a while to get here.
	It's like being told, you know, the nukes in the air, but, you know, it'll be a bit.
	So just calm down, folks.
	They're testing. They got pilot programs that are running now everywhere, as I've said.
	It's like 90% of the world's economy, the countries have a CBDC thing that's running right now.
	These people flat out lie to you.
	Don't believe your lying eyes.
	Come on. Yeah.
	And then they go on to shore up their lie.
	They say Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said no such thing would happen without congressional approval, according to Fortune Magazine.
	Well, there you go. Gold standard, I guess.
	Now, here's what The Hill wrote.
	I told you that of all the places, Infowars, Breitbart, and then all these news outlets, Fox, CNN, nobody covered it.
	The Hill did. They put it down at the very bottom of the page, the very bottom of their website, the bottom right-hand corner.
	That would be the last thing you look at.
	You're going to read left to right here.
	So they put it down there, and in that article...
	They are honest about it.
	They say the Federal Reserve's Undersecretary for Domestic Finance, Nellie Liang, said they will wait for Congress to approve it, but they're developing it right now so they'll be able to, quote, move forward rapidly, unquote, when Congress does approve it.
	So we're not going to do it until Congress does it, but we know Congress is going to do it.
	That's the implication. And we are developing it right now, so we'll be ready to rapidly roll it out.
	When? Well, you know, maybe at the same time that the European Union is planning on doing the retail side of this, which will be the fall.
	That's when they can orchestrate a financial crisis and offer this as a solution.
	Powell said it would only be used to allow bank-to-bank digital transfers.
	Well, That's already been said.
	That's happening in July.
	He said, what we're doing is experimenting, an early stage experimentation.
	No, they've been doing that in early stages for a long time.
	They're in the final stages of testing.
	DeSantis contended on Monday, said the Sun Sentinel, that there is a concerted effort to get about 20 other states to allow their uniform commercial codes to allow centralized digital banking.
	And then they quote South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, said she beat him to the punch.
	See, they just, anything they can do, it's all about personal stuff with him.
	She vetoed a bill that would have banned the use of cryptocurrency, which she said would have opened the door to the federal government adopting a central bank digital currency.
	And she said in her press release, she said, Well, that's not true, you see.
	In other words, what she said was, I'm going to veto this bill that's going to redefine money.
	I'm going to veto this bill that bans crypto.
	But I'm not going to put anything in the UCC code like DeSantis.
	This is why DeSantis' enemies at the Sun Central want to talk about this.
	Because, you know, well, look, he's even more radical than Kristi Noem, but she beat him to the punch and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's like, no. Look, you can define it.
	You know, you have House Majority Whip Emmer defined it.
	He said, we are not going to allow, we've got a bill here that would prohibit the Federal Reserve from directly dealing with consumers with the CBDC or anything else.
	And it would prohibit the Federal Reserve from using CBDCs for economic policy, which they could do with this phase one.
	Bank to bank transfers that are rolling out in July.
	And so that's a very important aspect of it, too.
	Now, you could do any of that stuff at the state level if you wanted to.
	She's a limited hangout, for sure.
	So she urged the other 20 states, considering similar legislation, however, to vote down those bills.
	And then the Sun Sentinel comes back to Alex Jones.
	The talk surrounding the centralized digital currency was fueled in part by statements made by discredited Infowars host Jones and former Donald Trump advisor Michael Flynn on social media.
	Global elites are trying to create a panic as an excuse to transition to CBDC total control.
	A social media post of Jones and Flynn discussing the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
	Well, I guess, you know, Flynn was there to tell everybody, you know, put in your prayer request right now to your ascended masters, you know, when he was doing this reawaken America tour, whatever.
	We had all these, going to these multi-million dollar churches and tens of millions of dollars to build these extravagant buildings that they go to worship in.
	You know, what are you worshiping then?
	Yeah. Anyway, he builds these extravagant buildings, and then they have people like Flynn come in and lead the people there in a prayer to ascended masters that he completely plagiarized from Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
	This doomsday cult prophetess.
	False prophet.
	Another stuff she said came true.
	And then they put people like Julie Green in there.
	Also another false prophetess.
	Nothing she says comes true.
	Just the opposite. CBDC doesn't change the financial system.
	They weren't done yet.
	They got one more. First we'll say that he's just a clone of Alex Jones.
	And then we'll finish.
	This is their final statement on it, on their article.
	A CBDC doesn't change the financial system.
	It's just a new thing.
	They offer. It's just a new thing.
	It's a new thing. Who said that in their final quote?
	Well, that's coming from the Atlantic Council's Geoeconomics Center.
	The Atlantic Council is a NATO think tank.
	This is a war against us, folks.
	It is a financial war.
	It is weaponized. The CBDC is just a thing, you know?
	Exactly. It's just this guy, you know.
	I don't know the CBDC. I don't know what it is.
	Who knows? Nothing to worry about.
	These are not the tyrants that you're looking for.
	This is not the prison and the global digital ID that you're looking for.
	Well, yes, it is. Very much is.
	So some other people reclaimed the net, did cover it.
	Good for them. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis takes a stand against digital currency.
	Here's why he's pushing for a CBDC ban.
	I'm glad that they put that in there.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	I've gone nearly an hour ranting here, so we're going to take a quick break.
	And when we come back, I've got a little bit more to say about the banking system collapsing and how, from a geopolitical standpoint, how we're seeing things being restructured.
	And, of course, this matters.
	Why? Well, because when we lose our reserve currency status, that's going to have big issues for all of us in the United States.
	It's going to have real bread-and-butter kitchen table issues for us when we lose the reserve currency status.
	at us.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	And now, The David Nutt Show.
	A new world order is emerging as the Davos banking system collapses.
	This is from Health Impact News, Brian Shulhavi.
	He says, with the collapse of the first systematically important financial institution, the too big to fail bank of Credit Suisse, the reality is that the financial system of Western culture is now on the brink of collapse and starting to sink in now with Americans.
	And when you look at what happened with Credit Suisse, you know, they forced a merger between Credit Suisse and UBS, another big Swiss bank, And there was some money that was put into it from the Swiss National Bank.
	But he still had the pension funds get a big zero out of this.
	That's a big warning sign.
	Real big warning sign.
	The more dire outlooks are still being published merely as opinion pieces because nobody wants to really, you know, this could happen and maybe this is...
	Here's this one that he picked up from Market Watch.
	Opinion. The end of the everything bubble has finally hit the banking system.
	Credit Suisse and SVB, Silicon Valley Bank, might be just the first of many shocks.
	And they put that as a featured article on their homepage, says Brian.
	And as part of it, they said...
	The immediate cause is the rapid increase in official interest rates in the U.S. and other major global economies.
	But the true cause is the unwinding of an economic and financial structure built upon an artificially low cost of money, which gave rise to the everything bubble and its leveraged speculation.
	That is part of it.
	Of course, they've been building this much, much bigger bubble ever since they...
	Created the boom and bust cycle that blew up in 2008.
	And if you go back to the early 1990s, I think it was 1992, you had the people that we use constantly use their designation of different generations.
	We talk about millennials.
	We talk about Generation X. Generation X and Generation Y and Generation Z, those terms all came from Strauss and Howe, came from their book in the early 90s, Generations, and they followed it up a year or two later with a fourth turning.
	In that, in the early 90s, they said sometime in the mid-2000s, probably about 2008, there'll be a global financial catastrophe, and that will begin a fourth turning.
	About once every four generations, everybody reevaluates the institutions, and it usually results, always results, major financial issues, and usually in war.
	They said the last fourth turning we had was the Great Depression, World War II. Prior to that, the Civil War, but the Industrial Revolution that was happening everywhere, happened in Italy as well.
	Civil War going on at exactly the same time.
	The creation of the nation states as they moved from decentralized agrarian centers of economic and political power to a centralized nation state.
	That was in the 1860s.
	Prior to that... You had the American Revolution.
	Of course, the French Revolution was a little bit after that because globally everybody wasn't synchronized as much.
	But they went back 500 years of history in U.S. and then, you know, mainly English history to see this cycle that every four generations all this stuff happens.
	And so what happened is, you know, they kicked off the fourth turning, and in the middle of the fourth turning, you had this fake pandemic and lockdown measures and stimulus checks and shutdowns and all the rest of this stuff to really shake up this bubble and burst it, right?
	And that's what we're seeing right now.
	Brian Shalhavi says it's ironic, perhaps, that the first too-big-to-fail-bank collapse was from the banking industry in Switzerland because they're known for being, you know, the banking center.
	Where wealthy people and criminals could put their money and stay private and that type of thing, a tax shelter.
	But of course, Switzerland is also home to the World Economic Forum, Davos.
	It is also home to the Bank of International Settlements, that is in Basel, Switzerland, the central bank of the central banks.
	And closely tied to two institutions that are headquartered in Washington, D.C., the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
	And so he just calls all of that in his opinion, that's all just the Davos crowd, right?
	The Bank of International Settlements, the World Bank, the Monetary Fund, the International Monetary Fund, and of course the spokespersons for that in Davos.
	He says it's dominated by the two most powerful families in Western culture, the Rothschilds in Europe and the Rockefellers in the United States.
	But as the wealth of these family dynasties is now quickly evaporating, new leaders are emerging, and we're starting to see some new geopolitical movements between China, Russia, and even Saudi Arabia and Iran,
	who have been enemies. He has an interesting article from a guy who is a Muslim commentator on how and why this is happening with Saudi Arabia and Iran and why this is going to be very damning for the petrodollar.
	Of course, China and Russia, that is being accelerated.
	We're pushing them together with these sanctions and this war in Ukraine.
	The collapse of the banking system of the Davos crowd will most certainly have negative repercussions for these four countries, of course, just like it does for the rest of the world.
	But they've had a head start because of these sanctions and because they got kicked out of the Western system, out of the SWIFT system.
	They've had a head start to try to create an alternative system and to start putting some real ground under their feet.
	By accumulating gold and things like that.
	But he says the significance of Saudi Arabia and Iran, who have been bitter enemies for most of their history, is deciding to put aside their differences and to start working together.
	This is something that was brokered by China.
	Again, all of this, China is manipulating all of this to essentially take the U.S. out of the World Reserve Union.
	To go after the petrodollar.
	Once you grasp the significance of this alliance, Saudi Arabia and Iran...
	It will make perfect sense as to why Biden, facing the risk of potentially losing petroleum imports from Saudi Arabia in the future, recently reversed his own position and risked the scorn of his own party by agreeing to approve ConocoPhillips' $7 billion oil and gas drilling Willow project and Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve.
	The problems between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia have been brewing for years, especially with the rise of Mohammed bin Salman.
	Sam Parker, a Muslim who writes under that pseudonym, says one thing he said to keep in mind when you read this, it was written a few months before this alliance between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
	He said, ever since the start of the Ukraine military conflict in February 2022, we've essentially been watching the Western-led financial industry waging its war against Eastern-dominated energy economy.
	The momentum will always be with the energy economy.
	Because as stated, in contrast to money, energy cannot be printed.
	As a matter of fact, if you go back, and I've talked about this before, if you go back into the 1930s and you look at it, you had some of the central banks saying maybe...
	Instead of us setting everything up around paper money, we just skip that intermediate step, you know, to create the petrodollar.
	Maybe we just do it in terms of energy units.
	But that was too literal.
	That was too real. It was not easily enough manipulated like the central banks can do with paper money.
	Oil makes and breaks nations, said the late former minister of Saudi Arabia, oil minister Yamani.
	He described oil alliances as being stronger than Catholic marriages.
	Well, that's definitely true today.
	I don't know any marriages that are all that strong anymore in modern society.
	A final point to note is that the petrodollar had a violent birth.
	And its demise will be even more violent and destructive.
	So that's the comments from that guy.
	And of course, it is just the tip of the iceberg that we've seen so far.
	The Washington Post... It says banks will face unprecedented losses if they are forced to liquidate their bond portfolios as SVB did.
	Well, of course they're going to be forced to liquidate.
	As I said, we've already seen the most rapid increase in interest rates that we've seen for 50 years.
	And today there's going to be another increase most likely.
	We'll wait and see what it's going to be when they announce it.
	According to the Washington Post, the total capital buffer in the U.S. banking system totals $2.2 trillion.
	Meanwhile, the total unrealized losses in the system are between $1.7 and $2 trillion.
	So right now, it's nearly at a break-even point.
	In other words, if banks were suddenly forced to liquidate their bond and loan portfolios, The losses would erase between 77% and 91% of their combined capital cushion.
	So it follows that a large number of banks are terrifyingly fragile.
	The Wall Street Journal cites a study from Stanford and Columbia University that found 186 U.S. banks are in distress.
	While the Peck brothers and the loose bankers hog the headlines, says Mises Wire, What drives hundreds of banks to the edge is our crony banking system.
	What turned this rigged casino into a crisis in the past year?
	The Fed hiking rates at the fastest pace in 50 years from 0% last March to 4.5% to 4.75% today.
	They did this in a desperate bid to cancel the inflation that they had caused by financing $7 trillion in deficit spending and Trump's lockdowns.
	They put COVID lockdowns.
	COVID did not lock us down.
	Trump locked us down.
	Let's get that straight, finally.
	It bothers me.
	Let's talk about who did this.
	Yeah, they would definitely say it was the Biden lockdowns.
	Biden had locked us down. But it was Trump who locked us down.
	It was Trump who kicked off this whiplash.
	These reckless hikes savaged long bond prices and across the board long bonds fell 20%, feeding an estimated 10% plunge in all bank assets.
	In other words, the bank thought that it had a dollar in the vault, but it turns out that it only had 90 to 80 cents.
	In the case of high flyers like Silicon Valley and hundreds more, it was more like 60 cents.
	So what is ahead? Well, stagflation, or as Gerald Slinty pointed out, dragflation.
	We, the people, will survive.
	After all, the real assets don't vanish.
	Food, cars, they put electricity.
	I don't know that electricity is a real asset.
	As a matter of fact, electricity is rapidly vanishing as well.
	These green gremlins are going through and destroying our electrical capacity here, so that's vanishing.
	So you mean I shouldn't have put all my money into AAA batteries?
	Yeah, it's going to expire one way or the other.
	No, I mean, food, cars, gold and silver, things like that, right?
	And skills. Those are the things that are real.
	They're starting to get some real skills instead of just, you know, being online.
	I say that and here I am.
	I'm online talking here.
	I'm going to erase food.
	I don't know, but I'm telling you what you need to do, you know.
	Physician heal thyself.
	So it's a paper crisis.
	says unfortunately the paper crisis has sucked real americans in suckering them into putting their life savings into the care of a bunch of degenerate gamblers in expensive suits so that's right So again, I'll just mention, you know, davidknight.gold takes you to Tony Arderman's wisewolf.gold.
	You'll find gold, silver, other things that are real, that are private, that you can hold in your hand.
	Real money and real money that you have.
	That's the key thing.
	Do not go for the paper gold that is headquartered out of Shanghai, for example.
	I used to have my retirement stuff and that, and I caught on to what was going on with that scam.
	But just, you know, as we look at all the efforts to try to track and control us, surveil us and to control us, that's just a conspiracy theory, right?
	Says the Sun Sentinel. Well, no, look at this.
	Indiana's Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
	You know, we typically talk about the DMV, Department of Motor Vehicles, is what they call it in most states.
	In Indiana, they call it the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
	They call it the BMV. They've been caught selling people's personal data.
	A lot of companies will pay for information about you.
	And, of course, the motor vehicles department has a lot of information about you to sell.
	And so they've been selling drivers' personal information without their consent, without the option to opt out.
	Last year alone, in Indiana, the motor vehicle people made about $25 million from selling personal information.
	So they contacted, this is a report from a WRTV did it, and they said, they contacted the motor vehicle employee, and the motor vehicle employee said, no, well, you're not supposed, no, we're not selling information.
	And then they thought about it for a second and said, well, you're not supposed to.
	Can't tell you for sure why they do, but they're not supposed to.
	But then WRTV continued their investigation, and they found not only do they sell it, but it's also legal for them to give your name, your date of birth, your past and current addresses, your license plate number, the make and model of your vehicle, the VIN number, the date of purchase, the license type, and your entire driving record.
	They can give this to anybody who wants to pay for it.
	They made over $237 million over a 10-year period selling drivers' personal information.
	So it is for sale.
	Consumers do not have the option to opt out at this time.
	It's the only thing that the motor vehicle people would pay.
	They would say they would not come on and do an interview.
	That was their only statement. You don't have an option to opt out.
	They said the revenue generated from sales to qualified entities goes to various accounts within the BMV. Most significantly, we put it into our tech fund.
	Well, what is that? Well, that's another fund in order to do more spying on you.
	To build infrastructure of databases on you.
	It's like this thing is just this metastasizing cancer.
	It's absolutely amazing.
	And so we'll finish up this segment before we get into other news.
	And I'll play for you this illustration by a farmer of what a 15-minute city looks like.
	What is a 15-minute city?
	So come on in, let me show you what a 15-minute community looks like.
	I'm excited to see this, Randy, because you always break things down into nice practical ways, right?
	Here we go. These residents of the 15-minute community...
	They're chickens. They're not locked in.
	It's a chicken coop. But they just stay there.
	They're free to come and go, but they don't.
	So let's take a step inside.
	Everything they need in their life is right here in their 15-minute community.
	A water bowl, a feed tray.
	They own nothing, but they are exceptionally happy.
	And you know how happy they are is by how many eggs they produce.
	And it's so wonderful because I get to take everything that they produce and they just keep producing.
	So let me go in here.
	And here we go.
	Each of them have their own house.
	Now in a 15-minute community, you don't get a lot of variation in housing.
	They're all pretty much the same.
	But we can take a look and collect their production.
	There's a few. There's a few more.
	And there we go.
	And they're none the wiser. And they're happy.
	I get to take what they produce.
	They're free to come and go, but the world is so scary for them out there, they will never leave.
	I don't have to put a fence around them.
	And here we are. It's an ideal world.
	I don't see anything wrong with it.
	Everything is provided for them.
	They're cared for. They're happy.
	They're together. It's all convenient.
	What? So, anybody who wants to understand what a 15-minute community is, here you go.
	And there's only one boss, and that boss provides everything for them.
	��
	�� In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, welcome back. I had a couple of tips that were on a couple of platforms yesterday that I didn't get a chance to thank people for.
	On Rockfan, Fran Edwards, thank you very much for that tip.
	Also on Rockfan, MJ, thank you for the tip.
	And today on Rumble, we have A. Woots, thank you for the tip.
	It says, awesome show yesterday as it is every day.
	Thanks, David. Well, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that support.
	And I've got a list of people that we just got checks from.
	I want to read out the names, but I'm not going to do it just at this moment.
	I'm going to do it in a little bit after the next break.
	Let's talk a little bit about some other news that is in front of us now.
	As we move forward...
	This obsession with artificial intelligence is really pretty getting kind of crazy.
	This is a Washington Post article.
	It was picked up by the Drudge Report, which is pushing this type of stuff.
	AI is reviving San Francisco's tech scene.
	Welcome to Cerebral Valley.
	And I started looking at this because are they talking about the brain-computer interface?
	Because that's a big part of it as well.
	You understand that while they're trying to enhance the brains of artificial intelligence, they're trying to hack our brains, as Yuval Harari has openly talked about.
	And it really is, I think, satanic what is happening here.
	One recent Saturday at noon, says the Washington Post, about 150 Bay Area techies lined up for a marathon coding session at a $58 million mansion in Silicon Valley that serves as a, quote, hacker house for startup founders, engineers, and researchers. They'd gathered to build apps with artificial intelligent language tools, like ChatGPT, or I call it ChatLGBT, because it's so politically correct.
	It's so culturally Marxist in its orientation.
	Anyway, a new chatbot from research lab OpenAI, they said that's how they define ChatGPT.
	Part of the explosion in recent months of in-person-only AI events reviving the Bay Area tech scene, And they say, you know, this used to be that people, when they talked about a hacker house, you know, it would be something that's pretty modest, but there's so much money, unbelievable sums of money flowing into artificial intelligence now.
	I hope it's going to be a big bust.
	I hope nothing is going to come out of it.
	As I pointed out before, we had three of these, Brian Shahavi talked about it in length, we had three of these AI companies Boom and bust cycles.
	We're on the third one now that hasn't gone bust, but let's hope that it does.
	Anyway, to give you an idea of how extravagant this hacker house is, this is not Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak putting something together in the garage of their parents' house.
	This is a $58 million mansion, 8-bedroom mansion, and it has a koi pond pool, a zen garden, a climate-controlled wine cellar, custom water well.
	According to Zillow's estimate, rent is about $45,000 a month.
	So these people, even though they're hackers doing a startup, they're well-funded.
	Traditionally, hacker houses refer to cramped quarters shared by startup aspirants in search of big ideas and cheaper rent.
	But the money and power flooding into this wave of AI is warping and intensifying the trappings of a typical Silicon Valley gold rush.
	Now set to explode with the launch of GPT-4.
	And... I said, in recent months, many people, most of them young, have flocked to the Bay Area's AI scene.
	To be closer to the action.
	A lot of the money to be made, even if you don't come up with something.
	I'm going to pay you to do the research.
	Google, by the way, has just released its competition to Microsoft's and OpenAI's chat thing.
	They call theirs BARD. And, you know, they said, well, we're reluctant to do it.
	I don't know if they're behind or, you know, they said...
	What they were saying was, when you look at the problems...
	That chat LGBT is having.
	They said, when it's a startup, they can get away with it, right?
	And even though Microsoft is giving them billions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars, they can always say, well, it's just a startup.
	It's just open AI, so they would just kind of write this off.
	Google was defending their late entry by saying that they have to get it right because they're a big company and they don't want to get egg on their face.
	But now they've put it out, and of course it appears to be even more politically correct than a chat LGBT. They call it Bard as in a poet or something.
	It's more like Bart Simpson, in my opinion.
	And when we look at the insanity of what is happening with artificial intelligence, how everybody is bowing down and worshiping this, from the Pentagon, the Silicon Valley, all of these people.
	That's their first priority.
	That's why it's very important. And I hope you did see that interview that I did with Peter Charest about his book, The four battlegrounds.
	First of all, the overall context of that is he works with and for the military industrial complex and organizations funded by Soros.
	Their inauguration was kicked off the Hillary Clinton.
	But to know what these people see as their enemy, it is first, last, and always China.
	That is the total focus.
	And it's all about tech.
	And who's going to get the lead in artificial intelligence?
	And so I thought that was an important thing to cover, because that's where they are, and that's where the money is all flowing.
	And that's why when things got shaky with the banks, the Pentagon said, we're going to protect those small startups, because that's the cutting-edge stuff.
	Cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and small firms, like the one we're talking about here, I guess small firms, just getting together to talk about what they might possibly do as a startup, And so they rent a $58 million house for about $45,000 a month.
	So the AI cult that is now arising, and I mean a literal cult as well, not just the press and the Pentagon and everybody fawning at this and throwing money at it.
	Today, much of the so-called AI, this is actually coming from Vice, Much of the so-called AI that we interact with excels at trivial nonsense, generating soulless poetry, or ripping off artists, or cheating on homework, or gaslighting users on Bing.
	But a new artist collective called Theta Noir believes that we should start worshipping AI now in preparation for its inevitable role as omnipotent overlord.
	Well, they're already acting as if it is our omnipotent overlord.
	Unlike Harlan Ellison's semi-gnostic vision of a mad artificial intelligence god, Theta Noir claims that a general AI, a self-sustaining machine, that has far outstripped the abilities of its creators after the singularity, could instead prove benevolent, ending inequalities in reorganizing our mess of a world for the better.
	Theta Noir hopes to meld old spiritualist traditions with the cutting edge of computer engineering, a kind of mystical materialism that on the one hand recognizes the machines are made by mere people, but on the other insists that one day there'll be something more.
	This goes back to a discussion I was having with Karen over the weekend, my wife, and...
	And I was talking about, you know, what does it mean to be created in the image of God, right?
	And we look at it, and we say, well, you know, it means that we're different from the animals in some way.
	Well, what are we different? You know, is it the soul?
	Is it the spirit? The nefesh?
	Is it talked about in the Old Testament?
	Animals have some of that.
	At least they have some intelligence as well.
	They can do some reasoning.
	I mean, if you don't think that animals can reason, you know, get a dog or, you know, not just a border collie, but get a raven, for example, right?
	They use tools. And, you know, so it's not that.
	Is it self-awareness?
	You know, that's why people are talking about AI. Well, if AI becomes self-aware and says, you know, I think, therefore I am.
	People have always struggled with that.
	Or, you know, if you're a car fan, go back to David E. Davis.
	Cogito ergo zoom.
	I think, therefore I speed.
	But, you know, you always look at this and say, like, what is the image of God, you know?
	We don't look like God.
	We don't have physical appearance.
	We always think of that. But what does it mean to be in the image of God?
	And I was reading one guy who said, well, you know, perhaps if you look at it, when God says, let us make man in our image, he says, and to give him dominion over, and he mentions all the different, you know, animals of the sea and the air and the land and this and that, you know. And then, right there at the beginning of Genesis, it says, and so God made man in his own image, and he gave him dominion over this and that.
	He repeated it a second time.
	So maybe there's a connection there.
	Maybe what it means to be in God's image is that we are expressing his rule over things.
	It's a hierarchical system.
	Hierarchical system in the spiritual world.
	We talk about spiritual warfare, right?
	There's powers and dominions and this and that, you know, that Paul talks about.
	And there's a hierarchy there.
	There's a hierarchy. You got archangels.
	You got angels. You got other, you know, beings on the good side.
	You got all this hierarchy on the other side.
	And then here on earth, we were to be Showing what God is about, which is exercising control and stewardship.
	And that's why when you look at this, when we talk about things like artificial intelligence, they're trying to make them into gods.
	And when you look at the green agenda, it really is a satanic agenda.
	Not only does it reject our dominion, Our stewardship over creation.
	They portray everything that man does as being harmful and disruptive.
	We are a virus and Gaia is Mother Earth and everything on Earth just evolved and just happened.
	And it is this unique thing and they even go so far as to portray it, many of them, as sentient.
	And Hollywood stars believe that Mother Earth is self-aware.
	And Mother Earth causes storms and things like that.
	They seriously believe that.
	You know, they say it over and over again, and they say it with all seriousness.
	And when you look at how they portray the Gaia theory, they always portray humans as a harmful virus or germ that needs to be stamped out.
	So it is all anti-human.
	We've got to erase the humans.
	And they start by...
	We're portraying our dominion as 100% harmful, and that has to stop as well.
	Who do we think we are to have dominion?
	Well, this is who I think I am.
	I think I'm created in the image of God, male and female, to have dominion over the earth.
	And of course, there's even a hierarchy within that as well.
	That's right. These people are not egalitarians.
	They want to replace... A biblical patriarchy with a matriarchy.
	I believe in complementarianism.
	I believe that there is an equality, but we have different roles in exercising that dominion.
	And so, when you look at this, when you look at artificial intelligence, when you look at all the lies about the climate and the lies of the role of man and the rightful role of man here, They really are coming after God's image.
	And it is fundamentally based...
	The green religion is a religion, and now artificial intelligence.
	Will become a religion with a slick website, says Vice Magazine, a manifesto, a paid membership, and tiers of paid membership, different levels, an NFT web store, and essays with titles like, Can AI Heal the Split Between Science and Religion?
	And Will Machines Birth the Next Form of a Religious Experience?
	An entrepreneurial group is riding the AI hype wave and a new age AI cult.
	Are they just grifters? Do they believe any of this stuff?
	That's really hard for me to comment on, said the founder, Mika Johnson, told that to Motherboard when asked if this Theta Noir cult is indeed an aspirational new age AI cult.
	However, he insists that the collective's goal isn't to make money.
	But to, quote, project a positive future and to think about our approach to AI in terms of wonder and mystery, in anticipation of what he calls MENA, M-E-N-A, they see that as the post-singularity seed of cosmic mind.
	So, singularity, that's where man merges with machines.
	We get to become God-like.
	We get to live forever because we somehow transfer whatever the essence of us is.
	We get to transfer that into machines.
	That's why when I talked to Zoltan Isvan, who was adamantly anti-Christian, he wrote a novel.
	And he had the enemies, the antagonists of his protagonists were Christians.
	Violent Christians who sought to destroy artificial intelligence.
	No, we don't have to do that. God will do that.
	Our job is to proclaim what is true.
	God will take care of destroying what is false.
	We don't have to do that.
	But he saw Christians as the enemy, and he was running as a third-party candidate.
	I don't know if he was even on the ballot anywhere, but he was at South by Southwest or something like that.
	And I got to interview him.
	Everybody says, why don't you talk to him?
	They didn't want to interview him.
	Okay, I'll do it. And he says, it's kind of quirky.
	And it was quirky.
	He was kind of a weird guy.
	I asked him, I said, so you think you're going to transfer the essence of what you are into a computer?
	So what are you? What is man?
	Couldn't answer that. He has no idea.
	I said, well, even if you think it's memory, some kind of collection of, you know, things that are there, you could maybe make a copy of that, but that's not going to be you.
	It might be a copy of you, if that was what you are.
	But what are you? We had no idea.
	These people are ready to worship Mother Earth and do worship Mother Earth.
	They're ready to worship artificial intelligence, even though it's still just a scam.
	And it can do some useful things.
	We'll show you some of the artwork that it did here in a minute.
	And they're also ready to worship any kind of presumed UFO manifestation.
	We better understand what's real and what's not real.
	You better think about this right now.
	So anyway, they want to spread Theta Noir's techno-optimistic dogma, they said.
	Until then, exhausted by the fear-mongering around AI, Theta Noir are planning to create physical spaces for engaging with artificial intelligence.
	Spaces like churches or temples, where members can celebrate our coming AI masters with rituals and chants, specifically devised for the occasion.
	Drawing from a varied body of existing spiritual movements and occult traditions.
	See, religions are always giving you something to do.
	We've got to have something to do.
	That's the thing that's different about Christianity.
	It is something that Christ did.
	It's not what we do.
	And when you understand that, what Christ does to you, how he changes your life.
	Anyway, we want to work with artists to create a space where people can really interact with AI, not in a way that's cold and scientific, but where people can feel the magic.
	And they spell it as M-A-G-I-C-K, as in the occult.
	This is what we see over and over again.
	As these people are, you know, we talk about the pharmakia, translated as sorcery, because, you know, the drugs and mushrooms and whatever that people would use as part of their religious ceremonies, it would take them, you know, out of their mind or connect them with other entities or whatever.
	So it was translated as sorcery, but it's also drugs in general.
	And these people seek to rule us in a number of ways.
	When we come back, we're going to talk about Biden and what he is doing ramping up the ATF. It's kind of interesting to see how he's pouring money into these beloved organizations like the IRS and the ATF to come after us.
	We'll be right back. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, welcome back. Before we get back into the news and we talk about what Biden is doing with the ATF, some of this other news, I want to thank some of the people who we've received some checks from.
	And I know people will oftentimes wonder if we got it, because the only way that we have a feedback is to mention it here.
	Ellen and Jinder, as a matter of fact, sent an email wondering if it was received, and it just was received.
	We just went to the post office and picked things up.
	We've had some issues with plumbing and some other things, and so we did not get by the post office until just now, and I still have not...
	We've updated the gas gauge from this.
	But I just wanted to thank some of the people here.
	We'll do this in two different groups.
	MJ Nichols, thank you very much.
	He said, in lieu of Rockfan, I do appreciate that.
	You know, we look at places where we have the least amount of fees.
	And, of course, there's no fees on checks.
	And there's no fees on Zelle either.
	So we appreciate that.
	Chris and Susan N. Scott C. Daniel H. Rob 42.
	And I've got a card here from Rob 42 for St.
	Patrick's Day. Thank you, Rob.
	Appreciate that. Tom and Nancy.
	Thank you very much, Tom and Nancy.
	And please keep them in your prayers.
	They've been very faithful supporters of this program from the very beginning.
	And there's some big changes coming up in their life.
	It's a young couple that have young kids that they are homeschooling.
	And there are things that are happening with their job and move and other things like that.
	They really could use your prayers.
	So please pray for Tom and Nancy.
	Dale L, Tina G, and Alan and Ginger.
	They were the ones who wrote, said, did you get the mail that we sent and the check we sent in the mail?
	Thank you all, and we've got some more here to cover at the next break.
	Biden has a proposed budget that would throw billions of dollars at the ATF, even as he's rolling out Executive orders for gun control.
	He is going to essentially throw, they've got a budget, going to bring the budget up to just about $2 billion.
	So I guess we could say he's going to have 2B to violate 2A, Second Amendment.
	So he's got plenty of money.
	If he needs more money, just create it out of thin air.
	We'll do whatever we have to do To destroy the Constitution.
	Again, as I say, every time I talk about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, understand that everything that the BATF does is a violation of explicit prohibitions in the Constitution.
	Constitution, you shall not infringe the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
	Everything that the BATF does infringes the rights of the people to keep and bear arms.
	Not only is there no constitutional authority for that agency to exist, because the Tenth Amendment says if the federal government has not been given explicit authority to do something, explicitly given that authority to do something, it doesn't have it.
	James Madison and the other people spearheaded the Bill of Rights because he was concerned people might use the welfare clause.
	Or they might use a commerce clause, or they might construe with some real broad general ideas that they could have, I don't know, like an FDR type of society, or a great society, or they might say, well, you know, we could do this or do that.
	No, no, you don't have any of that.
	Because again, the Bill of Rights, even if you think that those things give the federal government the authority of just general welfare, well, to promote the general welfare, well, that could mean anything, right?
	Well, no, it doesn't, because the Constitution was amended.
	And it was made very clear in the Tenth Amendment that it has to be explicit what they are given.
	They can't imply these things.
	And so there's no authority for that agency to exist, and everything that agency does is a violation of what is expressly prohibited for the federal government to do, and that is to infringe on the rights of the people to keep and bear arms.
	So the proposal comes as the ATF faces increased scrutiny over its attempts to further regulate firearms.
	And I say attempts because...
	Again, the agency doesn't have any authority to exist.
	Everything that they're doing is unconstitutional, and it can be shut down very easily if we have people at the state level that want to nullify it.
	And that is the rightful way to respond to all this, is to nullify it.
	The banning of stabilizing pistol braces.
	By what? By an executive order.
	They looked at the Trump bump executive order for Trump bump stocks and started with that.
	Then he started putting out executive orders about ammunition.
	Now he's putting out executive orders about registration of gun sales and reporting of gun sales, all this kind of stuff.
	There's no limit to it.
	Trump set that precedent.
	So, they said, and zero tolerance policy for federal firearms dealers.
	Well, again, these are just rules that the BATF has created.
	It's their policy.
	It's not Congress's policy.
	And it's all in violation of the Constitution.
	Biden's budget would increase funding for the ATF by roughly 13.5%.
	And it is 50% more than it was when Obama left office.
	I wonder how much it grew under Trump.
	I didn't have time to look that up.
	But it'd be interesting to see how much Trump grew that.
	You know, we had Reagan campaigned on getting rid of the Department of Education, which was just created in the middle of the Carter administration.
	And he campaigned against it, said, I'm going to shut it down.
	Well, he didn't shut it down. He grew it to many times its initial size when he took office.
	Did Trump do that as well?
	Either way, regardless of what the funding was that he gave the ATF, Trump increased their power.
	He opened that Pandora's box by presuming that he could do gun control by executive order.
	And of course, because it was something nobody cared about, the bump stock, and so that's where Biden began.
	All right, well, I'll take a little bit further.
	I'll do the pistol brace thing, because we've got, you know, it's just basically some handicapped people injured in the military that are using this thing.
	I don't care about them, and most people don't care about them, so we'll just run this thing through and see how that goes.
	All right, that worked. All right, let's try the next thing.
	Let's start doing some stuff about tracking people.
	Some lawmakers have demanded that the ATF director testify before the House Judiciary Committee over the agency's efforts to implement its new rules.
	Wow. That'll teach them.
	Bring them in there and ask them some questions and yell at them some, and I'm sure that'll change everything.
	That's what Congress does.
	You've got three committees, Jim Jordan and two others, where they say, well, we want this Manhattan district attorney, this Soros district attorney, to come in here so we can yell at him.
	Yeah, I'll show everybody.
	I'll show everybody I'm on Trump's side.
	They'll love me for this. And I'll give that guy a really good tongue lashing, but they're not going to do anything about it.
	It's like everything else they do.
	It's just a show. Just a show.
	It's a pathetic abdication to say, well, let's bring him in here and talk to us.
	No, take back your power.
	Just cut off their budget so you don't have any authority.
	Or, you know, just say, we're going to make laws.
	You're not going to make rules.
	That's the key thing that's happening because that's happening with all of the agencies.
	I said this. This is Jim Jordan.
	The ATF's lack of transparency comes after the agency, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay? A lack of transparency?
	You're not going to tell us what you're doing?
	You've got to tell us what you're doing.
	You know, we've abdicated all this stuff to you.
	We don't pass laws anymore.
	We send it all to you and you make rules.
	And so you need to at least tell us what you're going to do.
	Come on. That's not nice.
	A lack of transparency.
	No, they have a lack of authority, Jim.
	You know that. You're not stupid.
	The ATF has a lack of authority, and you won't do anything about it because you and all the rest of the people in Congress, multiple administration after administration, both houses of Congress have abdicated.
	All they do is these show trials and stuff.
	They don't pass laws anymore.
	They send it over to the bureaucracy, they create rules, and when they've got rules, oh well, you violated a rule, you don't have any due process, you don't have any protection against excessive fines, you have no presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
	These regulatory agencies write the rules, they judge whether or not you have obeyed their rules, and then they can levy any kind of penalty against you.
	This is happening with the FAA, it's happening with every agency doing that.
	And the only response we get, even from, you know, Jim Jordan and the Republicans.
	Well, we need to know. We have to have some transparency here.
	Well, I'm afraid it's exactly transparent.
	What's going on with you and with them?
	Biden's $6.9 trillion budget proposal has received sharp criticism from the Republicans.
	They call it voodoo accounting.
	Ouch. Oh. That's really going to stop it, isn't it?
	Biden is going to be so ashamed.
	He won't be able to show his face.
	It's been called voodoo accounting.
	Meanwhile, the TSA is stepping up its biometrics.
	They've been saying, well, you know, we've got face scans now.
	And they'll kind of imply that you need to do it.
	Or they'll tell you that it's going to be faster if you do it.
	But, you know, they're not making it mandatory.
	Well, they said soon it won't be optional.
	The chief of the TSA said the agency is considering biometric technology to reduce traveler processing times.
	You know, it's just like having a global ID. It makes everything so much faster and simpler for you.
	To reduce the number of screening officers.
	Just what happens? All these people are like, well, you know, I don't really care what I'm doing to my fellow citizens.
	I'll be a TSA screening officer.
	Well, guess what? They're going to kick you out the door now next as well.
	TSA's role is maintaining security, is what they say.
	Well, the reality is that we know from 10 years ago, a lawsuit that was done by Jonathan Corbett, who's not the one that has an excellent show, news source, but no, this is an engineer.
	And when they went with the naked body scanners, he sued them over that.
	He was able to do discovery.
	And as part of his lawsuit, they have to publish, you know, they have discovery.
	And he was able to see some stuff that was there.
	And when they published the lawsuit on Pacer.gov, they published the unredacted part.
	And then they realized their mistake later in the day, and then they published the redacted part.
	And so you can see exactly by comparing the two documents, because we downloaded it, you can see exactly what they didn't want you to see and what they don't want you to know or see.
	It is the fact that they, in internal communications, I think it was 2011, when they were threatening to turn Texas into a no-fly zone.
	We're not going to let any flights come in or out of Texas because the Texas House had unanimously passed, in response to these pat-downs and these scanners, they had unanimously passed a bill to prohibit all of that.
	So TSA said, well, we're not going to let any planes fly in or out because you'll be a security threat to the rest of the country if you don't let us pat you down or get a naked body scan.
	And then it got shut down in the Senate.
	It was the guy who was the lieutenant governor at the time.
	And he used to work for the CIA. And then after he retired, the CIA sent him up in the oil business.
	He made a lot of money. He spent more money to get elected than anybody had in Texas at that point in time.
	And so he got it shut down.
	But going back to the lawsuit, what we found out was that at that exact same time that all that was happening, the TSA said there is no threat to airplanes or airports currently.
	And of course you know that's true because their screening methods have always failed.
	If there was a threat you would have seen some terrorist events happening or whatever because they don't Do any screening.
	They admitted themselves. There is no threat to airports or to airplanes.
	The threat is coming from the government and the government surveillance.
	Jabsinda Arden.
	I like to call her Jabsinda because she pushed the vaccine so much.
	But that hateful tyrant from New Zealand who stepped down because it just wasn't fun anymore when you can boss people around.
	Well, now she's found a new job where she can boss people around.
	They're talking about making her the internet censor.
	And, of course, she was also not just what was happening during COVID, but she also took the lead in a new wave of gun control after the Christchurch shooting in 2019.
	And so now she's getting a new promotion to be an internet censor.
	Because, you know, it's the thing that gets her going, is telling people what they can and cannot do.
	In 2022, for example, a report cited some fairly shocking statements that had been made by Ardern at the height of the pandemic, telling citizens, quote, unless you hear it from us, it's not the truth.
	Well, yeah, we know that's what they want to tell everybody.
	California is proposing a ban on Skittles and other candies.
	Said there's some toxic stuff in them.
	I would say, well, I would say it's very rare.
	Are people dropping dead after they have a Skittles?
	No. Are they dropping dead after they get the COVID vaccine?
	Yes. So what are they banned?
	The COVID vaccine? No, Skittles.
	Skittles. So you know that Skittles are not harmful.
	Because if they were harmful, California would be mandating that you eat them.
	They say, it's got some artificial sweeteners that have been linked to cardiovascular risks.
	Oh, but not the Trump shots.
	Trump shots, no link to cardiovascular risk at all with that.
	And so they've got five chemicals, red dye number three.
	They banned red dye number two a long time ago, going down the numerical order, I guess.
	These chemicals have been linked to several adverse health issues, such as cancer.
	Oh, the jab hasn't been linked to cancer?
	Blood clots, heart issues?
	No. Nervous system harm and reproductive problems.
	That sounds just like the Trump shots, doesn't it?
	But again, they will...
	They will strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
	Or they will tell you that you can't have the Skittles, but you must have the vaccines.
	Rupert Murdoch has now announced his engagement to Ann Leslie Smith.
	What I thought was interesting about this was the fact that she is 66 and he is 92.
	And both of them are quoted in this New York Post article.
	And it's a nice little puff piece, you know, because Murdoch owns the New York Post.
	Literally owns it. And both of them were quoted separately as saying that this is going to be for the second half of their life.
	She says, this is not my first radio.
	Getting near 70 means being in the last half.
	I waited for the right time, and friends are happy for me.
	And then he says, we're both looking forward to spending the second half of our lives together.
	Okay, so let's do the math here.
	She's 66. That means she's expecting to live to 132.
	He's 92, which means that he's expecting to live to 184.
	I guess he's had more of these baby blood transfusions or something.
	So, I don't know where they're getting this.
	I'll tell you, by the time she turns 132, they'll be calling her mummy, I think, long before that.
	Made me think, you know, Psalm 90 says, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
	And our days, as the Bible says elsewhere, 70 years, or if by strength, 80 years.
	And their pride is trouble and disaster.
	It passes quickly and we fly away.
	That would be the wisdom, is to understand that we're all going to stand before God.
	It is sooner than any of us think, especially the people who are super rich and having such a great time, evidently.
	So, it is a word to the wise.
	We all need to think about the fact that tomorrow is not promised to any of us, especially 184 years, we would tell Rupert Murdoch.
	But he is going to continue to act that way.
	You know, it was interesting. I remember when Sumner Redstone, the guy who owned Viacom.
	Viacom owned CVS, Viacom owned Paramount, and a lot of other media companies.
	Viacom owned Blockbuster Video when that was a thing.
	And he was up in his 90s, and he absolutely refused to turn it over even to his kids.
	And he went to war with his kids over all of that stuff.
	And it's like, what is he? He really thought that he was going to live forever, and he didn't.
	He did not live forever.
	One last article here before we get into...
	Some of the pharmaceutical news that is happening, the pandemic news.
	I saw this as Guard Goldsmith put this out on Sunday.
	If you subscribe to Guard Goldsmith's substack, you get his Sunday newsletter, and he'll give you like 10 articles or something that he thinks are interesting over the weekend.
	Guard does a good job of going through and gathering the news.
	This is something he found on fee.org, how government lost 15 million acres of public land in the United States.
	I thought that was a very good headline.
	I liked that article from Fee.
	And it was about a series of New York Times stories that showed how millions of acres of public land are not open to the public, and they just disappeared.
	And nobody knew about it.
	Until you had some guy who wrote code and he liked the outdoors and he said, I want to map out all the areas of land in the United States and see which ones are private and which ones are publicly owned.
	He's got other aspects that he looks at in terms of forest fire damage and how recent it was and a lot of different things that are of interest to hunters and people who are hiking and in the outdoors and the process of that.
	What this means, how they lost 15 million acres of land.
	He found that this is land that is owned by the federal government, but it's completely landlocked, in other words, surrounded by private property.
	And so there's no access to it, because you can't trespass over somebody's private property.
	Now, the Foundation for Economic Education, FEE, fee.org, they look at this from an economic standpoint.
	Well, this is why we ought to have private property, because private property can, you know, utilize the land better, and it can, you know, do all this stuff.
	But I look at it, and if you understand the history of all this stuff, you know, you go back to the Bundy standoff, And what Cliven Bundy was trying to make clear was the fact that long before the Bureau of Land Management, that BLM, long before that BLM ever came about, his family was there with a ranch.
	And the Bureau of Land Management was not managing anything.
	They were mismanaging it.
	And they wanted everybody off of their land.
	Now, some of that could be because they've got...
	Some big multinational corporations they want to sell resources to and they want to get you off the land.
	Sometimes they just want to get everybody away from their stuff.
	And we've seen this before in Yellowstone, for example, when we've gone out there on a vacation.
	They brag about the fact that only 1% of Yellowstone is open to the public.
	The other 99% is off-limits to people, pretty much.
	And you see that over and over again in these public parks.
	And there's this idea that, and I've seen it in museums as well.
	When Karen and I went to the UK and we got married in 1980, and we spent, you know, it was in between me being in college and getting a job, and we just hung out and starved.
	We had no money, but we had a lot of time because I arranged that period of time.
	And so we stayed there for a About two and a half months.
	And we lost so much weight that it was hard to keep our clothes on.
	But it was because they were falling off of us.
	But it was so cold that we wore all the clothes that we brought with us every day.
	So that helped. But, no, we would go to the museums.
	And, you know, you would go to like the British Museum.
	There'd be an area where they had just this warehouse.
	Full of mummy sarcophagi, right?
	And just everywhere.
	And you just spend all day looking at it and everything.
	Then we went back 20 years later with our kids.
	And they were very proud of the fact that they had removed all that stuff.
	And they would have one.
	One mummy and one sarcophagus.
	And they would set up a big display telling you all about that particular one.
	And all the rest of them were off-limits.
	You couldn't see them. And I saw that at museum after museum.
	The Victorian and Albert would do that.
	The Smithsonian is very bad about that as well.
	The Smithsonian will put up these displays and keep everything off-limits.
	This is what the museums are doing.
	It's what the national parks are doing.
	It's almost like they don't want you there at all.
	And of course, when there is some kind of a budget crunch, the first thing they'll do is shut down the national parks because they know that's what you want.
	But they don't want you there at all.
	What we're seeing here at the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the one that more people go to than any other one, mainly they've done that because there's no fee to get in.
	Well, they're changing that.
	By law, they can't shut the thing off because there's roads that run through it.
	They're running through it before they turn it into a national park.
	But they've come up with a little clever scheme.
	If you stop to look at anything, you better have paid them to stop.
	You have to pay to park and look.
	You can drive through, but you've got to pay to park to look.
	So they are always looking for ways to keep you under control.
	And so the interesting thing about this is the amount of land...
	The New York Times is talking about this.
	They said it would be the largest national park in the country.
	That's 15 million acres. It would be nearly the size of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut combined.
	And they say most of these inaccessible public lands are in the West.
	Well, again, going back to the Bundys, when you look at what happened pre-Civil War and after the Civil War, our government completely changed.
	It was no longer the United States are, but it became the United States is.
	It was consolidated. It was centralized.
	And if you look at all the different states that came into the Union, they were territories.
	And as they came into the Union after the Civil War, The government retained most of that property under their control.
	When you look at the states that were in the east, and when you look at Texas, they have a lot of private land.
	A lot more than the government does.
	And the point that the Bundys made, and they were right about it, under the Constitution, the federal government is not allowed to own any land.
	And that's what they should talk about in this fee article.
	They have no authority to own anything.
	They own the District of Columbia, was set aside for them, and ports and forts.
	End of story.
	All the rest of this should have been turned over as private property, the way that it was in the East.
	But we had a government that had a completely different character after the Civil War.
	And so that's how you have all these public lands in the West.
	And I think it was in Nevada where the Bundys were.
	Something like 85% or something of the land that was there belonged to the government.
	And they had run off every single farmer except for Cliven.
	They had, at one point, 52 farmers in that area.
	And they had run all of them off.
	He was the last one there.
	And I got to talk to some of the ones who had been run off, who had come back to protest.
	Eric Siegfried from Montana caught public officials in almost unimaginable levels of incompetence and waste.
	That's why I disagree with Fee.
	This is not incompetence.
	It's not waste. This is intentional.
	This is a kind of Agenda 21.
	It's a kind of arrogance where the government thinks that it owns the land and And it operates this against the public's interest.
	I can look at some of these other public parks, for example.
	You know, one of the reasons I said, well, maybe what they wanted to do with the Bundy Ranch was to turn it over to a multinational corporation.
	That's not a conspiracy theory.
	That's already been done. In Arizona, they took Tonto National Park, which is being used for recreation.
	It was very important culturally, historically, politically to, I think it was the Apaches or something.
	And they were going to, because John McCain had struck a deal with a foreign corporation, they were going to turn it into a vast copper mine.
	They were going to strip mine it, and they were going to create a pit that was going to be so big you could see it from space.
	That's how the government manages land.
	And of course, you know, they're going to make money from it?
	Yeah, they'll make some money from it.
	The government officials will probably get big kickbacks for brokering that deal.
	Unlike Google Maps, Siegfried created something he calls OnX.com.
	Optimized for use in forests and other wild areas.
	It displays property lines, wind patterns, fire histories, and other data that would be used by outdoorsmen, but typically not ordinary people.
	Why is there no nationwide picture, he asked, of land ownership, of public and private property boundaries, and of who owns what?
	And so by collating state and county data, putting it onto a computer program, Siegfried turned the project that he started out as a scrapbooking thing.
	He received now more than $87 million from investors.
	And he understands that the American landscape arguably better than any of the government does.
	So he has now put this public land, which again, these park officials see this as their fiefdom.
	And it is also part of their anti-human environmentalism.
	It's one of the reasons why we're having so many fires that are so big.
	I had heard before they changed these rules, and again, I speak this because my uncle was a forestry professor at the University of Missouri in Columbia for many years.
	He's out of the department there.
	And he told me back in the 1970s, he said, this is environmentalism stuff.
	They treat it as if This is sacred ground or something.
	They don't want to do any stewardship because you've got to remove the dead wood out of there.
	And then Travis and I did a report.
	We talked to, was it Tad Haupt?
	Yeah. And he was a logger.
	And he's very distressed because of the forestry mismanagement of the federal government.
	They had a wildfire that got out of control, and he had worked all of his life as a lumberjack, and what he had done to save money was to buy land.
	And he was going to use lumber on that land as his retirement fund.
	And the federal government literally burned through it with their mismanagement.
	And he said the same thing that my uncle had told me.
	40 years earlier, 50 years, I guess it was about 10 years ago, so 40 years earlier than that, my uncle had told me the same thing.
	He said, look, they leave all this stuff there, they won't let you even take out dead wood.
	You've got to take it out for the health of the forest, because you leave it there.
	It's like leaving giant containers.
	Of accelerant there.
	And that's why when you have a natural fire that starts, it gets out of control so quickly, so easily.
	So, you know, that is what we're now looking at as a government that mismanages it primarily because they hate human involvement in it.
	We're going to be right back.
	Stay with us. Decoding
	the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	All right, welcome back. I want to thank the other people who are on the list who have sent us contributions by mail.
	Let me just read out their names real quickly.
	Jack D., Marty K., Ed and Cindy B., Mary H., Mary Ellen M., David and Joan F., Victor B., Mark and Frida, John R., Jeff P. and Ronald C. Thank you very much for your contributions.
	I really do appreciate that.
	I know everybody wants to talk about Trump and his Manhattan melodrama, so let's talk a little bit about that.
	It's all that anybody wants to say.
	It's the idea that we are not going to talk about CBDC or anything else that Ron DeSantis said.
	No, we're going to highlight the fight between them.
	And we're only going to talk about what DeSantis said in terms of what Trump did.
	It's the horse race. It's the professional wrestling.
	Well, you know, when we look at this, people believe that it is a trap because, frankly, it is a trap.
	And as a matter of fact, let me get today's news.
	This is yesterday's news. And I didn't clear my...
	My thing here. Let me get all of the stormy news for today.
	Hang on. Just one second.
	I'm going to get there in just a minute.
	Okay. Here it is. Got it.
	No, that's not it. I got it here somewhere because I read it this morning.
	Let me do a real quick commercial and I'll be right back.
	Show we've got a problem.
	Hello, what? Who are you?
	It's the new mug they're selling at the DavidKnightShow.com, right?
	So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right?
	because basically you can't hold coffee with your hands right i i'm it's scat and they but anyone tries to mug me i i'm be ready for it you you dog-faced pony soldier they say the mug can help patriots drink coffee then save the world This could be bad for us.
	Save the world? But we owe the world.
	These people, they'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.
	All right, we're back, and I've got my article.
	I just want to thank people.
	I hope my other son has now taken Travis's place.
	He is really feeling bad, and I really would ask for your prayers.
	He's suffering greatly from rheumatoid arthritis, and I'd appreciate your prayers for that.
	And before I get back into the news, let me just thank YJ72 on Rumble.
	Thank you for the tip. Says, thank you for covering the issues of financial crisis in details.
	By the way, watched American Masters last night after dinner.
	It did not sit well.
	Did you throw up? I would imagine you would.
	And that's the thing that's surprising to me.
	I looked that up. You know, in American Masters, It was that program that we got the clips from, showing Fauci and Bowser going door to door in Washington, D.C. And Fauci complaining, yeah, they don't want to, these people don't want to do what they're told, you know, that type of thing. I said, yeah, they think they're our American masters.
	And so I looked it up and thought, what is this program on PBS? I don't watch PBS, but the description that I got from it was, it's about artists, typically.
	You know, master artists, composers or painters or something like that.
	I don't know what Fauci is an artist at.
	Maybe propaganda.
	Yeah, he's a true artist in the propaganda sense.
	Okay, so let's talk about what is going on with Trump.
	And before we do...
	Just as a reminder that the justice system here is thoroughly politicized.
	We don't need to talk about the particular Soros district attorney in Manhattan.
	We can talk about what is going on with the January 6th people.
	Remember them? Remember those people?
	It's all about Trump now, isn't it?
	Well, the jury's just reached another verdict.
	Another kangaroo trial.
	Some more prosecutorial abuse.
	Prosecutors in Washington have won felony convictions.
	Against four members of the Oath Keepers militia.
	They've not reached a decision yet on the Oath Keepers group that, as Enrico Terrio and Joe Biggs, who I know, haven't reached that decision yet.
	But it is amazing to see these trumped-up charges.
	Boy, is that not a double entendre.
	If people did something this violent, fine.
	But, you know, what we're seeing here...
	We're seeing excessive punishments.
	We've seen people denied a speedy trial.
	We've seen people denied a fair trial because they've hidden exculpatory evidence from their defenders.
	You know, that is evidence that would show that it's, you know, a different story than the prosecution is putting out there.
	Perhaps showing that they are innocent.
	So they violated the rules of discovery.
	They've denied a fair and speedy trial.
	They've kept them in prison for a very long time and tortured them in detention.
	And now they're coming up with decades worth of jail time for these people.
	This is just disgusting to me.
	And yet, compare the outrage over this possible trial of Trump for hush money to a porn star.
	Compare that to what these people have gone through.
	And are going through. And to the decades of jail time that they're getting.
	And then look at the outrage from the media and from Congress about what is happening to Trump, you know, on Trump's side.
	Compare those two things.
	Just disgust me to see all of this stuff.
	So... Biden's Department of Justice filed multiple conspiracy charges against two other Oath Keeper members, Michael Green and Benny Parker.
	Jurors found each of them innocent on one of the charges, but remained deadlocked as of Monday afternoon on the second count, even after a week of deliberations.
	All six defendants were found guilty of entering or remaining in a restricted area.
	Now, they've been found guilty of the sentencing and things like that.
	You know, they... They get them for trespassing, then they add conspiracy charges to it.
	And then, of course, as we saw with Stuart Rhodes and nine other Oath Keepers, they added seditious conspiracy.
	Seditious conspiracy.
	I found them guilty of that, and we still haven't had the sentencing for that.
	They're still just sitting in jail.
	And so, again, you know, some people acted violently, but even the people who acted violently deserve a speedy trial.
	They deserve to have access and discovery to all the evidence.
	And they don't deserve to be tortured in jail.
	They are really putting this over the top.
	And yet, Rand Paul, who's been silent about all this stuff with the January Sixers, is now tweeting out that the New York District Attorney should be put in jail.
	Again, the Manhattan melodrama.
	Mike Pence and Nikki Haley coming out.
	They don't like it either. Pence says, it just feels like a politically charged prosecution here.
	Does the January 6th prosecution feel like that to you, Pence?
	Nikki Haley. Well, they're just doing this for political points.
	Because, look, it is political.
	It is for points.
	And these are political points that are hurting Pence and Nikki Haley.
	It's making Trump a hero, and even his opponents want to ride his coattails on all of this stuff.
	So, there was an interesting article from The Guardian, of course an anti-Trump publication, where they said that people close to Trump are unsure whether or not he's serious about telling them that he wants to do a perp walk.
	He wants that photo op.
	You better believe he does.
	I absolutely believe that he wants that.
	I believe his lawyer wants that as well.
	And they said he also wants to be pictured wearing handcuffs.
	Again. It's going to make him into a hero.
	You had, you know, we've just had a recent rev of one of the AI generating, image generating pieces of software.
	And it's gotten very, very good.
	Very photorealistic.
	And so one guy decided that he would go in and have, you know, pictures of Trump getting arrested.
	And I got to say, when I saw it on Twitter, I was like, whoa!
	You know, I have to go back and check.
	It's like, no, he isn't. And look at some of these things.
	This is a collage here.
	Look at this. Here's Trump running.
	Of course, he's got a different tie in the different ones.
	One of them, he's got a dark tie.
	Another one, he's got a striped tie.
	So that's a hit that, you know, this is all, of course, you know, this hasn't happened.
	But look at how photorealistic it is.
	You got all these New York cops chasing him.
	And at one point they got him cornered and he's got his mouth open.
	And then another point, a couple of cops have grabbed him and they're hauling him off, frog marching him away.
	And this particular one, you got Trump attacking the cop.
	They turned him into an action hero.
	I just wonder how long it's going to be before Trump pays this artist off and buys all of these.
	And sells them as NFTs.
	They're much better than the NFTs that Trump sold, frankly.
	Here's Melania yelling at a cop.
	Who is actually Donald Trump?
	You see the back of the side of the cop's head.
	And he's got Donald Trump's blonde, long hair sticking out of the back of the cap.
	And you can see that's Donald Trump.
	I guess she's yelling at him because he beat up a police officer and stole his uniform, stripped him off, and...
	Part of his escape plan?
	I don't know. But then the next one here.
	Here's Trump in his suit setting in a jail cell.
	A detention cell.
	Okay. And then here he is picking out his orange suit.
	They let you go in and pick it out.
	But it's really pretty funny.
	And very photorealistic.
	It's actually amazing.
	Here he is in his orange jumpsuit, mopping the floors in an institution with other prisoners in orange suits.
	I guess it brings all new meaning to the term orange man.
	And here is Orange Man signing some papers as I guess his entry into the prison.
	And here he is now making his escape, going through the sewers in his orange suit.
	And in this particular one, the AI has actually given him an orange tie that matches his suit.
	And then here he is.
	He made good on his escape.
	And there's a McDonald's, and in the next clip, which I don't have here, he makes a detour, and he goes in and he orders food at McDonald's wearing his orange suit.
	Yeah, they turned him into an action hero, essentially.
	And yet, that is exactly what all the press, all the conservative press is doing.
	And so, Piers Morgan has an interview with Ron DeSantis, Right after that press conference where he was talking about CBDC, talking about Big Brother Digital Money.
	And of course, Piers Morgan never makes any mention of that.
	Doesn't talk about CBDC, anything that DeSantis had to say.
	And it was just a couple of hours after he had that press conference.
	But he does have that little snippet there where, you know, again, it ends, he makes his presentation about CBDC, the Big Brother digital money, and then he takes questions.
	First question, you know, well, what about Donald Trump and, you know, And are you going to extradite him?
	And he goes through all this stuff saying, well, you know, this is a Soros DA. It's a political persecution.
	I'm not going to be involved in that.
	As to the rest of this stuff in terms of, you know, the allegations of him, you know...
	Giving hush money to a porn star?
	I don't know what to say about that, but I can just tell you, the Soros district attorney, this is out of his jurisdiction, it's a political persecution, and we're not going to have anything to do with that.
	And he said, what people ought to be upset about is the fact that the Soros district attorney is turning out violent criminals, turning them back out on the street, because that's what Soros wants.
	And those people are victimized, those criminals, because of the Soros District Attorney, those criminals are victimizing the people that live in his jurisdiction on a daily basis.
	That's what you should be concerned about.
	Yeah, you should be concerned about that.
	You should be concerned about the January 6th, but nobody cares.
	And so Piers Morgan talks to DeSantis, completely ignores any substantive issue, any issue that would affect our liberty and freedom.
	He said, speaking from the governor's mansion in Tallahassee, he said, I have what it takes to be president and I can beat Biden, he said.
	But it's what he said about Trump, says Piers Morgan, that will ignite a firestorm in the Republican Party.
	And this will get my article put up on Drudge and picked up by everybody.
	Everybody will read my article if I get into all of this professional wrestling stuff.
	He said for months DeSantis has said nothing as Trump's escalated his verbal attacks on him, branding his ex-protege Ron DeSantis and Meatball Ron.
	Yesterday Trump went nuts after DeSantis took a shot at him.
	No, he told the truth. It is hush money for a porn star.
	Took a shot at him over his anticipated indictment over alleged payoffs to Stormy Daniels.
	His lawyers admitted that it was done.
	You know, that's going to be the interesting thing.
	Again, that's the Trump trap. Is he going to, as a deeply wounded narcissist, will Trump tell people, yeah, I was lying, I did pay her?
	Or will he commit perjury?
	That's the trap.
	Will he do a Bill Clinton and commit perjury about his degenerate affairs?
	We've got to get people talking about this.
	Why can't we talk about something of any substance?
	I don't understand.
	The inferred morally censorious tone sparked a furious response from Trump.
	Ron DeSantimonious will probably find out about false accusations and fake stories sometime in the future as he gets older and wiser and better known when he's unfairly and illegally attacked by a woman.
	Even classmates that are underage or possibly a man.
	No, this is Trump projecting.
	Trump projecting his own sexual depravity.
	Anybody want to talk about Jeffrey Epstein?
	No, nobody wants to talk about Jeffrey Epstein and Trump.
	Trump's mood is likely to deteriorate further when he hears what Ron DeSantis now says about him, says Piers Morgan.
	You know what this all reminds me of?
	Do you remember... It was a hard day's night, I think.
	It was a black and white movie that the Beatles did early on, right?
	And it gave them an opportunity to do, like, early music videos and stuff.
	And the strange thing, it was this threadbare movie.
	You know, it was basically just an extended music video.
	But there was this old crotchety man, I remember, in it.
	And all he did was to try to get people to fight.
	He tried to get them to fight with each other.
	He tried to get other people to fight with him.
	And it's like, that's what Trump has turned into.
	He's just this underminer, as I pointed out yesterday.
	Anyway, Trump's mood is likely to deteriorate further.
	It was clear that the governor had enough of Trump's constant baiting and feels ready to take him on in what could end up being a ferocious battle, a chain match.
	A caged chain match.
	No, he doesn't say that. But it's essentially what he's talking about.
	Is it going to be a chain cage match to see who gets the White House?
	All professional wrestling.
	When I asked DeSantis to cite specific differences between him and Trump, he said, well, I think there's a few things.
	The approach to COVID was different.
	I would have fired somebody like Fauci.
	Ooh, ooh, yeah. Run against Trump.
	The lockdown. Run against Fauci.
	Run against the vaccine.
	Except, you know, he has done a little bit, but he has not done enough.
	He's still allowing people to take that toxic poison.
	So DeSantis, by not going fully in and opposing this, has really limited some of his approaches to Trump.
	He should have gone full on and done all, 100% the right thing.
	He's done more than other people, as I said.
	But it's going to hamper him.
	If he had gone full on, then he would be able to attack Trump on everything, including the vaccine.
	He goes on to say, I think he got way too big for his britches, and I think he did a lot of damage, he says, of Trump.
	DeSantis also slammed Trump's chaotic, self-obsessed, and divisive management style, saying, quote, I also think, that was Piers Morgan, who also doesn't like Trump.
	Anybody that's worked with him or for him doesn't seem to like him anymore for some reason.
	Anyway, DeSantis said, I also think just in terms of my approach to leadership, I get personnel in the government who have the agenda of the people and who share our agenda.
	Because, again, Trump...
	All the people that he put in office were people that were antithetical to everything that he said he wanted to do.
	He talked about that from the very beginning.
	Look, he's surrounded himself by Goldman Sachs and Pentagon generals and big people from big pharmaceutical companies.
	That doesn't look good.
	It doesn't bode well for the future.
	That's exactly what happened.
	Personnel or policy.
	That's the old axiom in that.
	So the way we run our government, I think, is no daily drama.
	And we focus on what is needed for the people's business.
	Then you got baby Trump.
	Donald Trump Jr. comes out and he says, it's pure weakness for DeSantis to say he won't be involved in a potential Trump extradition.
	Well, I think he ought to take what he can get, you know?
	I mean... If Trump, if DeSantis is saying, look, this is a, he's trumped up political persecution.
	This guy is a, no, it's weakness.
	What does he want? What does baby Trump want?
	I think he, he thinks he protests too much.
	But it got him very upset.
	And as I said before, I think the reason this outrages baby Trump and daddy Trump and the MAGA cult is because to say it's hush money to a porn star.
	It's to show what they are really supporting in all of this.
	So, again, one of the things that he took exception to was to say that it's a circus.
	DeSantis said, this is a circus.
	And this is a Soros DA and all this.
	Well, baby Trump was really angry about this.
	And it's like, why would he get angry when DeSantis calls it a circus?
	Because what he's saying is this is just a stage thing for them.
	Unless Baby Trump and Daddy Trump know that they're part of the circus too.
	Because, you know, he wants people to see him perp-walked.
	He wants people to see him in handcuffs, say, some of the people around him.
	And so he definitely wants this circus.
	Because this circus is making him go way far ahead in this phony horse race.
	Polls, who cares about polls?
	There's been no debate.
	There's been no competition and all this stuff.
	But everybody, everybody in politics and in media is so unbelievably afraid of Donald Trump.
	When we come back, we're going to talk about war.
	It was an amazing, very powerful statement that was made by a member of the European Parliament.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show Well, as we look at events right now, we've got the White House saying that it opposes a ceasefire in Ukraine.
	So this is a couple of days ago.
	The U.S. is against any potential Chinese efforts to broker a deal between Russia and Ukraine.
	And this was talked about as President Xi was headed toward Moscow a couple of days ago.
	This is on the 19th. Zelensky expressed openness to China's proposal, but it was immediately rejected by Biden.
	And the White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said, we do not support calls for a ceasefire now.
	Kirby's comments came as Ukrainian and Russian forces continue to battle in the Donbass city of Bakhmut, Which has become known as the, quote, meat grinder due to the heavy casualties.
	Ukraine has been pouring in barely trained conscripts to fight in the city, and the U.S. thinks Kiev is wasting too many resources in the battle.
	This has been talked about in alternative media.
	Washington Post has talked about it so many times.
	It looks so bad. I said, well, are they trying to lay the foundation, saying, look, they don't have enough men, they don't have enough material, and so we've got to do more.
	We've got to send our troops in.
	And that's really where this is headed.
	You got Poland now saying, well, if they can't do it, we're going to send our troops in.
	Poland is itching.
	The Polish government is itching for a fight with Russia.
	It truly is amazing.
	But one member of the European Parliament is not having it.
	She understands what is going on.
	All these people out there waving the flag of Ukraine.
	Do they really care about the people of Ukraine?
	If they did, they'd be trying to move for peace.
	And this is what Claire Daly said in the EU Parliament.
	Listening to the cheerleading in here, safe and secure, thousands of miles away from the front lines, I think it would be a useful exercise for us to remind ourselves about what ordinary Ukrainians are experiencing.
	The Economist reports of forced recruitment across the country.
	Draftees with no experience or training are being sent to the front in what a UK minister calls First World War levels of attrition.
	Casualty figures are secret, but we know there are estimates of about 120,000.
	Battalion commanders tell the Washington Post of recruits fleeing positions en masse.
	Politico reports a crackdown on deserters.
	These are human beings and there is a shameful lack of empathy for ordinary people in the war rhetoric in here.
	The debate is about keeping the weapons flowing to keep the war going.
	Ukraine is burning through a generation of men.
	Sons, husbands, brothers who can never be replaced.
	This cannot go on indefinitely.
	And ye sickening war generals who sit in here and will these men to our debts, you make me sick.
	We need peace, we need dialogue, however unpleasant that may be.
	But there is no interest in peace.
	They're not interested in even talking about it again.
	What did I just say? I said that the US is against any potential efforts to broker any peace.
	And that is White House Security National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
	We don't support any talk of peace right now.
	Nobody cares about the Ukrainians, really.
	We said from the very beginning, when this all happened, I played for you, clips of Indian military officers who were saying they're just using the Ukrainians.
	They're just using them as cannon fodder.
	They're using them to fight their proxy war.
	They don't care what happens to Ukraine.
	They don't care what happens to Ukrainians, the people who live there.
	Just callously using them as cannon fodder.
	They don't care. So, Kirby, as the officials are saying, the U.S. wants Ukraine to launch a counteroffensive in the spring.
	He said a senior Ukrainian official to the Washington Post, and Kirby said the ceasefire would, quote, in effect, recognize Russia's gains and its attempt to conquer his neighbor's territory by force.
	So, the U.S. and its allies had discouraged peace talks at the very beginning.
	Right away, in February 2022, at that time, Moscow was seeking a deal that would have reverted to the pre-invasion territorial lines, But now Ukraine stands to lose much more as Russia has annexed the territory that it controls in the Ukrainian oblasts and the breakaway Donbass republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.
	I'll just remind you again of that video of Arrestovich, who has now been kicked out of Zelensky's administration because of his candor.
	He's a guy who just tells it like it is.
	He doesn't really care. We're good to go.
	And one of them hit a building and Arrestovich said, well, that was because we shot at it and veered it off course and it hit that thing.
	He was fired for telling people the truth about that.
	But going back to 2019, shortly after Zelensky was elected president on a peace platform, Arrestovich was chosen to be the representative in peace talks.
	Because at that point in time, From 2014, when the U.S. engineered a coup and a civil war, he had these areas that broke away, said, no, we don't want to do that.
	So instead of letting them secede, instead of letting them stay with Russia, they decided that they would have a civil war over that attempted secession.
	And so for five years, that had been going on.
	They wanted peace. They elected Zelensky, who promised them peace.
	They sent Arrestovich to the peace talks, and he had a reporter interviewing him.
	He said, what are the chances of peace?
	None. None.
	Oh. And he goes, as a matter of fact, it's going to get a lot worse.
	He said, in 2022, that's three years in the future, in 2022, we're going to have full-on war with Russia.
	And she said, that's horrible.
	Can't anything be done to stop that?
	And he goes, it's going to completely destroy Ukraine.
	And he said, but the good part is we get to get into NATO. Because that's the important part.
	He's willing, you know, Zelensky and his administration is willing to sacrifice Ukrainians and the people, you know, and the land, everything about it, for their ambition to be part of the global elite, to be part of that club that you're not in.
	And same thing is true, especially, of the Americans who've been pushing this from the very beginning.
	And so we see that as the...
	The Americans are saying, no, there's no chance for the peace talks.
	Of course, within the last week, we've had Putin saying that they're going to get out of the New START Treaty.
	And the New START Treaty, again, was one of these deals where You had the ability to monitor what the other side was doing.
	Russia has the world's biggest nuclear arsenal.
	The US is in second place, close second place, but still they have a bigger arsenal.
	And they said, well, we got out of that because the Russians were reneging on their deals of inspection.
	Well, because there's a war that's going on here.
	So this is, again, the polarization, the escalation that is pushing us into World War III. And then as...
	The UK and Germany and the US are sending in tanks.
	Now they've made it very clear that they're also going to send in DU, depleted uranium shells.
	And Russia has responded to that and said, if you send in depleted uranium, we're going to treat that as if you'd used a dirty bomb.
	Pretty good analogy if you look at the history of what has been done with depleted uranium.
	Going back to Iraq and also going back to Yugoslavia has been used for quite some time.
	As a matter of fact, it even goes back, I think, to the...
	Was it the first Gulf War, I think?
	I had a friend who was in the tank corps and...
	And he was talking about, he had been sent on another mission, and so he didn't go to Iraq.
	But I will never forget, he was talking about the depleted uranium, how effective it was, and how they had longer range than the Soviet tanks that were being used by the Iraqis.
	He said that they could figure out where these guys were.
	He said there was one of his friends who was at the war while he was back in the U.S. doing this other thing.
	He said they could see like the antenna of one of these Russian tanks on the other side of a sand dune.
	And so they shot it anyway with this depleted uranium and it went through the sand dune and blew up the tank.
	That's how this dense depleted uranium, that's how dense it is and how powerful a weapon it is.
	And so the UK's junior defense minister told Parliament yesterday, alongside our granting of a squadron of Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, we will be providing ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium.
	Such rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armored vehicles, says News of Britain.
	And the Kremlin responded with a strongly worded statement emphasizing such a weapon will be treated as tantamount to using a nuclear dirty bomb.
	The foreign ministry spokesperson for the Russians said on Telegram highlighted the dangerous health effects of depleted uranium for everyone when introduced on the battlefield.
	They said, take a look at the Yugoslavian scenario.
	These shells not only kill, but they infect the environment and they cause oncology, in other words, cancer, and people living in these lands.
	By the way, it is naive to believe that only those against whom this will be used will become victims.
	In Yugoslavia, NATO soldiers, in particular, the Italians, were the first ones to suffer.
	Then they tried for a long time to get compensation from NATO for lost health.
	But their claims were denied.
	She said, when will they wake up in Ukraine?
	Their benefactors are going to poison them.
	During the U.S. occupation, of course, in Iraq, use of depleted uranium by NATO allies was linked to cancer and birth defects among the Iraqi population.
	But, of course, it's not just the population, the people that they're using it against.
	It's especially the people who were firing it in the tanks, I remember, years ago.
	Covering a lot of people who've been in the tank corps, these engagements in the 90s in Yugoslavia and going back to the Gulf War and stuff.
	Talking about how they had a super high incidence of very rare cancers among the tank corps because, they believed, of the depleted uranium.
	They say it was hailed as the new silver bullet that would solve most of the military's problem.
	But after the end of Operation Allied Force, several Italian soldiers were diagnosed with leukemia.
	Politicians and the media soon forged a link between the disease and the depleted uranium use.
	They further drew a parallel with Gulf War Syndrome.
	And in no time, depleted uranium became the Agent Orange of the Balkan conflict.
	It presents rather not only a radioactive hazard, but it is also a strong toxin.
	And when these munitions are used, this toxicity and the radioactive material can be scattered across a broad area that saw prior battles, and later it is encountered by the people who live in that area.
	But again, it also damages the people who fire it.
	On the same day, reports emerged of a new push by US lawmakers to introduce cluster munitions in Ukraine, which are typically banned in many international treaties, universally condemned by human rights organizations.
	Harps. Yep. First Gulf War, David, they were shooting through barricades to destroy tanks.
	That's right. Yeah, it's amazing.
	They had such superior equipment, range, and all the rest of the stuff, and able to, you know, take out the barrier and the tank at the same time.
	It is truly amazing. And because it's such a powerful weapon, you know, look, does the Pentagon care about the lives of soldiers?
	I mean, they've got a war.
	You're expendable, right?
	Remember that John Wayne or John Ford movie, I think it was?
	They were expendable.
	Soldiers know that, and they will do that, but again, it does poison the land for a long time.
	Nuclear stuff stays around for a long time.
	18 European countries have signed a joint ammunition donation for Ukraine.
	So, it's 17 EU member states plus Norway have signed an agreement to send them ammunition.
	Because we just can't manufacture enough of this stuff.
	However, the Hungarians have pulled back.
	Hungarian defense minister said that one proposal was for member states to transfer all or part of their existing ammunition stockpiles to Ukraine.
	And this is not something that Hungary considers to be productive in its call for peace at the earliest opportunity.
	Isn't it interesting that these states that are focused on, you know, family and focused on national interests and all this kind of thing, they stand out and they stand apart and they stand against these globalists who want nothing more than war.
	This is a globalist war.
	They want a world war. They want it badly.
	He said, on this issue, Hungary, as it does not support the war with weapons or soldiers, has used the so-called constructive abstention, he said.
	In other words, Hungary will not block other countries' plans in this direction based on mutual respect for the decisions of individual member states, but they will not participate in this.
	So they will opt out of this operation.
	Now, and what I would say is kind of a preview of We have India and China fighting each other at this border dispute with sticks and stones.
	Remember the quote from Eisenhower?
	I don't know what weapons the Third World War will be fought with, but I know that the one after that will be with sticks and stones.
	Well, that's what they're doing right now on the border with India and China.
	Unprecedented intelligence sharing during a clash between Indian and Chinese troops in December of 2022.
	Along the disputed border high in the Himalayas known as the line of actual control.
	Now, the interesting thing about this to me was that as these people from China and India are fighting it out with sticks and stones and things like that, right?
	And they're doing that because in the same way that they put out the weaponized riot police, you know, they put them in armor and helmets and give them shields and sticks to fight you with.
	Because if they went out and just started shooting people in the streets, that would...
	The anger and other things.
	And so, for the same reason, India and China want to keep this, you know, let's have a fight, but let's, you know, just keep it with sticks and stones instead of, you know, escalating this into some, like, a nuclear conflict because they both have nuclear weapons.
	So, the U.S.'s role in all of this Is to phone in satellite data.
	So they're looking at this whole thing and they're telling the Indian soldiers who are fighting the Chinese soldiers with sticks and stones.
	They're using a satellite to tell them where the other guys are.
	It's an odd combination of satellite warfare directing sticks and stone warfare.
	But you know, we've got to have war.
	One way or the other, we've got to have this kind of conflict.
	People love it. That's why all they want to do is talk about this conflict.
	Now, manufacture the conflict, stir it up between DeSantis and Trump.
	We've got to have that. Yeah.
	Calling it a club strike.
	That's what my sentence is.
	Yeah, what's that? What kind of clubs have they got?
	Yeah. So with all of this, right, the U.S. doesn't want to talk.
	The U.S. and, you know, and then Russia pulls out of the New Start Treaty and all the rest of the stuff, and the U.S. doesn't want to talk about that, and everybody is sending in more and more weapons, and the only question is, which ones are we going to send first, and how many, and we'll just give them all of our ammunition and weapons, right? Pour everything we've got into Ukraine.
	That's what these 18 European countries...
	They don't have a lot of weapons compared to the United States.
	They're just going to pour everything in there.
	And as everybody's saying, we're already stressing out the U.S. Of course, the military-industrial complex is standing on the sidelines licking its chops as to how they're going to make so much money resupplying everybody.
	The Polish ambassador to France says Poland will be forced to enter the war if Ukraine fails to defend itself.
	Push, push, push, push.
	Push the war. Well, if they don't have enough soldiers, if they can't train the soldiers, if they can't do it, we'll go fight the Russians.
	And they just can't wait to do it.
	I mean, everything you see, unfortunately, is moving towards this world war.
	We'll 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.
	Well, I want to say when we talk about the pandemic and where it is right now, we've got Robert Redfield, who was the director of the CDC under Trump.
	And he's out there saying, well, you know, be very afraid.
	Be very afraid of where the next one is coming from.
	You know, we lost. I forget what they're saying.
	You know, how many millions of people, the number that they're coming.
	It doesn't matter. It's nonsense.
	The people died. From malpractice, from malicious malpractice, from withholding treatment for this new strain of flu.
	And so the people who are trying to direct you away from the Wuhan lab story, right?
	They're now coming out, friends of Fauci.
	We're now talking about what we think we've heard in the past.
	It came from bats.
	It came from bat soup at the wet market that was right around the corner from the Wuhan lab and all the rest of the stuff.
	Then we heard it came from pangolins.
	And all the rest of the stuff. And so they come up with a pangolin.
	What's a pangolin? You know, you look at it, it's like, oh, that's a weird looking thing.
	That looks like that could be diseased or something.
	It's kind of like a cross between an armadillo and a snake or something.
	A weird looking thing.
	And now they've come up with a new suspect.
	Because this is also really strange.
	A raccoon dog.
	Have you ever... I saw that.
	Are they saying rabid dogs?
	Because I think, you know, raccoons, I think of rabies and dogs.
	No, no, they're talking about this thing called a raccoon dog.
	Can you show a picture of the raccoon dog?
	It is actually in the family of canids, dogs.
	It's in the dog family. It's got a face like a raccoon.
	And, you know, it's this really weird thing.
	So it must be like a penguin.
	It must be something that could get people sick.
	And Robert Redfield says that's nonsense.
	He said they haven't shown that this is transmitted.
	The only proof, quote-unquote, that they have of this, the Fauci crowd, is that they tested some raccoon dogs with a PCR test.
	And they found that they had COVID. Test them for a moon dust, why don't you?
	You're probably using a PCR test, magnifying it 1.1 trillion times.
	You could probably find that everybody's been to the moon, right?
	We got moon dust in us or something.
	It's ridiculous. But what Redfield is doing...
	Is he selling fear and panic in a different way?
	You see, the Fauci crowd is trying to say, oh no, we didn't do it at the lab.
	Redfield is saying, it's going to be coming from the lab, and there's going to be another pandemic, and it's going to make this one look like absolutely nothing, and you better start stockpiling bird flu stuff and all the rest of this.
	Just understand what these people are doing.
	It's all about fear.
	It's all still about the vaccines, whether you're talking about Trump's CDC director or Biden's CDC director.
	It's all about fear and vaccines.
	And it's all about keeping their medical, martial law stuff in place because they're going to need it.
	They're going to need it real soon. You better understand that if we don't shut down this thing, which is now 1,105 days old, this Trump executive order that has given them this authority, if we don't shut that thing down, they're going to use it.
	And what they do to us the next time.
	It's going to make this first one look really mild.
	Not going to be that it's some kind of bioengineered disease.
	It's going to be weaponized psychology and tyranny and digital tyranny.
	That's what this is about. Let's talk a little bit about the speech side of things.
	You have LifeSiteNews, which is a Catholic site.
	But they do cover a lot of good stories about what is happening in terms of the...
	They've been spot on in terms of calling out the pandemic and the rest of the stuff.
	And they're spot on in terms of calling out the spiritual warfare that is happening with the attack on our kids by the LGBT people.
	And they just got blocked...
	By YouTube, for two weeks, they get their second strike within 30 days.
	They get one more strike, they're gone.
	And that's the way the typical three-strike thing works.
	Again, they just pulled me down and said, a complaint has been received, you're gone.
	And emptied everything there.
	They said, we're now one strike away from YouTube permanently deleting the channel.
	I say, go for it. Go for it.
	Don't bow to these people.
	As a matter of fact, they said the one that they just hit us was a year ago.
	It was a review they had of the movie that just won all of the Oscars.
	I mean, it swept everything.
	The movie is everything, everywhere, all at once.
	I thought, well, that's a pretty good title.
	But then when I saw, you know, Jamie Lee Curtis and all the rest of these people, you know, worshipping the transgender movement and everything, I thought, yeah, it's got to be that.
	As a matter of fact, I've had a friend of mine who does films said, you can't get a film green-lighted anymore unless you've got an LGBT character or multiple ones in it.
	And he said, and if you've got a transgender character, you're in, right?
	You're in. They'll do it.
	And so that's really what this is about.
	And so they went back a year ago.
	They gave him one strike. Now they're on their radar.
	And that's what they did to me, too.
	The one time they took me off with three strikes.
	I've been kicked off of YouTube multiple times.
	The one time they took me off with three strikes.
	It's a really controversial thing.
	I said 2020 was the year the world became China.
	Well, I stand by that.
	I don't know, because I was very critical of Trump.
	But YouTube didn't like that.
	I wasn't trying to pander to them by criticizing Trump, but he deserved criticism for what he did in 2020.
	And that didn't buy me any street creds with YouTube.
	They still kicked me off because I guess I was criticizing their big master, President Xi and China, the Chinese communists.
	So yeah, got to take that off.
	But after they did that, they go back and they look So LifeSite's on their radar.
	They will go back through their archives.
	They'll find old videos. They'll find anything to criticize them for and then delete them.
	So it's going to happen. Look, you can censor yourself or you can not censor yourself.
	And if these people censor you, fine.
	So be it. So be it.
	But I am not going to censor myself.
	To censor myself is to bow down to them as my master, and I will not be mastered by any of these censors.
	And I don't think anybody ought to play it this way.
	I'm not going to try to talk around this.
	I'm not going to try to use code words, you know.
	You know, like that thing, you know, that I can't say, you know, people would say that about the jab or something.
	No, I'm not going to use code words to try to jump around any of the stuff that they have going there.
	If I were to do that, I'd be enslaving myself.
	And I will not do that. I will not live by their lies.
	In 2021, YouTube permanently shut down LifeSite's account.
	They said, moving tens of thousands of hours of pro-life, pro-family, Christian video news coverage, leaving our 300,000 YouTube followers in the lurch, and it could soon happen again.
	I don't know how they came back from that.
	I don't say. Everything, everywhere, all at once.
	They said implicitly attacks the Catholic Church and its teachings on homosexuality and even offers a shocking attack against the Holy Eucharist.
	This is, again, LifeSite is a Catholic site.
	It was showered with awards at the 95th Academy Award.
	A standard bearer for the anti-family, anti-life, anti-Catholic propaganda so beloved by the left.
	Now, what is this movie about?
	I'm sure you're asking.
	Don't bother to go see it. I'll just give you the plot in a nutshell here.
	They were hit with a strike accusing them of hate speech.
	And I thought that's kind of interesting because I never got an explanation about any of the strikes against me or the bans against me.
	So I thought that was interesting.
	But what is this movie about?
	Well, it is a sci-fi comedy, they said.
	I thought, oh, well, you know, I kind of like sci-fi comedies, like...
	Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or something?
	No, it's not like that.
	It's all about LGBT stuff.
	And in their review a year ago, which has now gotten them a strike, something they did a year ago, the mother has, well, it centers on a mother refusing to joyfully and fully embrace her daughter's lesbian relationship.
	That's it. That's what it's all about.
	The mother tolerates the relationship but tries to shield the grandfather from the situation by calling her daughter's partner a friend rather than her girlfriend.
	In addition to pushing the total affirmation of homosexuality, the film portrays the need to fulfill the desires of all sexual fetishes in the LGBT alphabet, including bondage with the heroine bringing an attacker to joy and peace.
	By satisfying his masochistic tendencies.
	And then, as a Catholic site, they took exception.
	Here's what Life Site says.
	The most holy sacrament of the Eucharist is portrayed thinly veiled as a great evil which prevents the full acceptance of homosexuality and its associated perversion.
	And this is kind of the tipping point, evidently, of the movie.
	In what is obviously meant to look like a Catholic church, the heroine and her daughter are brought to the altar, and behind the tabernacle veil is bread.
	But it's not unleavened bread.
	It's a blackened bagel, which spins like a black hole and is ready to suck in the troubled youth and perhaps all of humanity.
	The heroine pulls her daughter back from that abyss by giving full acceptance to her homosexuality and introducing her daughter's lesbian partner to the grandfather as her girlfriend, after which all goodness and peace is restored.
	Wow. Is this what this is?
	I mean, they make religious symbols, Catholic religious symbols.
	They make that Into the central villain that has to be defeated.
	And the confession is, LGBT is God.
	And now everything is fine.
	You know, we look at what is happening in terms of the full-court press on this in terms of entertainment alone.
	GLAAD, which is an LGBT organization, Comes up with a total of how many LGBT characters there are on TV. And they came up with a count of 596.
	They report in their research, 141 LGBT characters on broadcast, 139 on cable, 356 on streaming.
	They said 24% of LGBT characters are on projects, however, that have been canceled or on the midst of a final season.
	Because nobody wants this stuff shoved down their throat.
	My son says, so now it's hate speech if critics criticize a movie that has LGBT pandering.
	Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
	If they hate what you're saying, they call it hate speech because they hate any speech that doesn't agree with them.
	So it looks like they're going to have 24% of these projects.
	Are going to be cancelled because nobody likes this stuff.
	An additional 35 characters will not return due to being featured on a miniseries or anthology.
	So Nolte at Breitbart says, My wife tried watching some streaming show that had a guy in a full beard running around in a spaceship in high heels and a dress.
	It was not a comedy.
	He said, she didn't watch it, but I did.
	And he says, it was not a comedy.
	He says, I'm sorry, but I refuse to be a hypocrite and to either celebrate this or to pretend that I'm comfortable with this nonsense.
	Injecting homosexuality into mainstream entertainment is madness.
	And it would be if they cared about making any money, but they don't.
	And I've seen this for the longest time.
	The problem is, he said, that there is no longer any entertainment for the rest of us.
	And that's one of the reasons why that movie with Kelsey Grammer, The Jesus Revolution, you know, about the Jesus movement and about the beginning of Calvary Chapel churches.
	It's one of the reasons why it's doing so well.
	I mean, just first couple of weekends, it was over $40 million.
	Did far more in a couple of weeks than all five, I think it was five, of the Oscar nominees for Best Film did combined.
	They're putting out this garbage, and nobody wants to see it.
	It truly is amazing.
	And actually, look at this.
	You've got a Florida Democrat. It says, we are erasing our trans babies, and DeSantis wants to commit genocide.
	And the response from one Democrat leader in Florida said, this is why we can't win elections, because of people like her.
	And it's why nobody goes to the movies.
	It's because of this kind of stuff.
	No. The people who are erasing the babies are the people who are embracing abortion.
	The people who are embracing mutilization and sterilization of minors, they're the ones who are erasing the babies.
	They're the ones who are committing genocide.
	Thank you for listening. 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.
