Free Minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 23rd of March.
Year of Our Lord, 2023.
Day 1106 of the Emergency.
We're not too worried about that though, right?
We're not worried about the lockdown emergency, the pandemics, we're not worried about war escalating, the fact that you have the U.S. government adamantly saying they're not interested in any peace talks.
I've got a clip of Colonel McGregor talking about that, his comments on that.
We don't want to worry about that.
We don't want to worry about the coming CBDC slavery now.
It's just, what is happening to Trump?
Well, we will talk a little bit about that.
And back and forth.
The grift that is there.
The media is making money off of it.
Trump's making money off of it.
And nothing seriously is getting done about anything.
But we're going to begin... With pharmaceutical issues.
There was a hearing yesterday where you had Rand Paul interrogating the CEO of Moderna.
And it was good. Stay with us.
We'll be right back. Well, before we play the clip of the back and forth, and of course, you know, the two clips that went viral was the interrogation that Rand Paul had.
Finally getting to the fact that the vaccine is killing people with myocarditis, but again, only focusing on young people.
Why? Well, because with older people, they can explain it away and say it was comorbidities or something else, right?
It's just that we haven't had situations before.
This is so outside of our experience to have young people, young athletes dying of heart attacks.
They have a hard time explaining it away.
So we focus on that, I guess, on our side.
Or at least I don't.
I talk about all of it. But the people who timidly want to push back against this a little bit will focus there.
But they don't want to go beyond that.
And yet, even when they do that, You have the establishment, whether it is Big Pharma itself or the people who are supposed to be regulating them.
They just dismiss it.
Myocarditis is not a big deal.
Well, Steve Kirsch draws attention again to a very important study that was done by some real experts.
People with lots of credentials, highly respected.
Of course, we've had highly respected epidemiologists Be denigrated, purged out of the public sphere?
They were very highly respected until they went against the narrative.
It's a Schwab study, and we'll talk about that.
Proves the COVID vaccines are killing massive numbers of people.
Steve Kerr says, but they simply ignore it.
And they do. What are we going to do to keep them from ignoring it anymore?
Well, there is an organization...
I think it's Students Against Mandates.
It says they are. The hashtag is Enough is Enough.
And of course, it's not just what they're doing, that hashtag.
It's about a lot of people pushing back against this ongoing bioweapon campaign of mass murder with these Trump shots.
And this is what they've done.
There's a couple of videos I'm going to show you.
In Winnipeg, at headquarters of the Canadian Broadcasting Company, people just plastered the place with pictures of, and I'll play the clip for you.
Here they are taking pictures of it.
They put pictures of the people who have been killed with these Trump shots.
A bio about them, what caused it.
In other words, this is some of the VAERS database type of thing.
Printed out and taped on the wall of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
That doesn't want to tell you the truth.
I like that approach.
I like that approach. It's absolutely amazing.
And it's going to take a grassroots movement like that.
To really do this. Because everybody has betrayed us.
They've all sold out.
And so it's going to take something like that.
Stories of the vaccine injured that the media refuses to cover.
S-A-M. Now here they are doing the same thing to the BBC, the British Broadcasting Company.
Look at this. This is a couple of hours after we've already been in the pub a few times and had a few pints.
But yeah, we thought we'd come back and revisit our handiwork.
They completely covered up the entrance.
They have a TV there where they're showing what's playing on the BBC. They've completely covered that up.
The papers and post-its about the people the Trump shots have killed.
It's just amazing to me.
And so let's talk about this, this Schwab study.
Autopsy-based histopathological characterization of myocarditis after the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
So basically what they did was they actually did an autopsy.
You know, let's look. Hey, if you don't look, you know, don't look.
These are not the deaths that you're looking for.
If you don't do an autopsy, they can say, well, you know, you can't prove that.
That's just coincidental. We've had a lot of coincidences.
We've had too many, as a matter of fact.
Autopsy-based descriptions of detailed histological features of vaccine-induced myocarditis is lacking.
We describe the autopsy findings and common characteristics of myocarditis in untreated persons who received the Trump shot.
Let's just call it that way.
Standardized autopsies were performed on 25 persons who had died unexpectedly and within 20 days after their jab.
They call it a full name of the vaccination, whatever.
And for patients who received an mRNA vaccination, we identified acute myocarditis without detection of another significant disease or health constellation that may have caused an unexpected death.
You see, they didn't have any comorbidities.
They didn't have anything else that was going to cause this.
And they additionally say, it showed patchy, interstitial, myocardial T-lymphocytic infiltration.
Predominantly, and they get a little bit more technical with it.
But in other words, it seems to be located in certain areas of the body.
It's not like it's a systemic thing, you understand?
It's not like this is an overall health...
They don't have comorbidities.
This isn't something that is kind of uniformly distributed, but it's patchy.
Almost like, I don't know, it's like a spike or something.
Did it, right? Overall, autopsy findings indicated death due to acute, let's see, what is this?
Arrhythmogenic cardiac failure.
The myocarditis can be potentially lethal complications following mRNA-based injection vaccination, they say.
So that's their abstract. And then as they go through it, basically this study, says Steve Kirsch, is written by top German scientists, published in a prestigious German peer-reviewed medical journal, and it proves COVID vaccines kill people.
They basically started with 35 bodies who died within 20 days of a shot.
They focused on five where no other cause of death could be ascribed.
All five had similar findings consistent with a vaccine injury, inconsistent with any other known cause of death.
Despite having a world-famous pathologist, Peter Schiermacher, as the senior author in the paper, the Schwab paper will never be covered in the mainstream media anywhere in the world.
It was published November 22nd, 2022, and has been ignored so far by the media.
Having more than 14% of the deaths 20 days after vaccination being caused by the vaccine should be an immediate stopping point in a sane world.
You know, when you look at this, what does it take to get the media to cover any of this stuff?
What does it take the media to care about any of these lives?
These are young people.
Every life, regardless of age, is important.
But they don't have any other explanation for these young people.
It's absolutely criminal what is going on and continues to go on.
And they continue to approve it for younger and younger kids.
They continue to approve more and more booster shots.
It's relentless. It'll never stop.
Fauci was just out there saying, oh, you're going to have to do it annually at least.
It'll be more than annual if we don't stop this.
They will continue to kill and sterilize people around the world with these Trump shots.
So, what is ever going to stop this?
Well, we're going to have to stop it.
We're going to have to get the information out there.
We're going to have to make it clear that we are not going to go along with this.
Look, you saw how Fauci, and that was a year ago, I think, those clips that just surfaced from American Master.
They had recorded that before he retired.
Going door to door. The people there could use critical thinking and logic, and they weren't having any of it.
They heard it through the grapevine, right?
Throughout the black community, they were skeptical because of the way that they've been used in the past.
Tuskegee stories and the rest of this stuff.
And so, kind of a show-me state is where they are.
So they had a good dose of skepticism about these things.
And it made absolutely no sense to anyone.
And they just said, no, I'm not going to take it.
You simply can't have 96 kids in Canada dying suddenly for no reason in just a three-month period after the jabs rolled out, says Steve Kirsch.
And just remember that going back to the 1970s when we had swine flu, after three deaths, three deaths, you had nine states ban the shot.
No states, not even Florida, and that's one of the things that I criticize DeSantis for.
They've not banned it.
We're not going to approve it.
We're not going to pressure people for doing it and so forth, but they stopped short of protecting the public from a known poison.
And that's why I had a lot of people, because I've said so much about CBDC, and I think we really need to elevate that.
A lot of people say, well, you can't trust, I never said trust DeSantis.
I said we need to focus on these issues.
We need to focus on this Trump shot and how it's killing people.
We've got to stop the murders right now.
And we've got to stop CBDC. And if we can draw attention, people's attention to it, let's talk about these politicians and say, look what this guy is saying.
Because a lot of people do support individuals.
And a lot of people put a lot of credibility into it simply because it's said by some politician somewhere, unfortunately.
That's the world we live in. So we can try to use that.
And so, with that in mind, when you look at what happened at the Senate hearings, I've got the transcript here of Rand Paul talking to Borla, who is the CEO there.
And, I'm sorry, not Borla, Bonzo, Stefan Bonzo.
You know, both of them, French.
Moderna and Pfizer.
Anyway, so first thing he asks him is he said, so Moderna recently paid the NIH $400 million.
Your company paid the NIH, that's supposed to oversee what you're doing, $400 million.
Do you believe it creates a conflict of interest for the government employees who are making money now off the vaccine?
To also be dictating the policy about how many times we have to take the vaccine.
And so Boncel just deflects it and says, well, that is for the U.S. government to assess that money.
So he says that you need to decide whether that is a conflict of interest.
And so Rand Paul says, okay, so you have no opinion on whether or not that creates a conflict of interest.
Is there a higher interest or higher incidence of myocarditis among adolescent males, 16 to 24, after taking your vaccine?
Again, we're going to only focus it there, but that is the easiest thing to prove because just like this Schwab report, Coming out of Germany, you can see that they've got no other comorbidities that they can try to explain this away.
And of course, we saw just the opposite at the beginning of the fear, uncertainty, and doubt campaign that was put out there.
You know, FUD, F-U-D. I guess you should have called Tony Fauci.
We should have called him Tony Fudci because he's selling fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
But anyway...
He said, so here this is, he said, do you think that it is causing myocarditis in kids who are 16 to 24?
And he says, well, thank you.
He says, firstly, thank you for the question.
Every time you'd ask him a question like that, thank you so much for the question.
Oh, I love these questions, he said.
I hate when people do that.
Anyway, with all due respect, and it's all firstly, let me say, we care deeply about safety and And we're working closely with the CDC and the FDA to pretty much a yes or no.
Is there a higher incidence of myocarditis among boys 16 to 24 after they take the vaccine?
But they have shown actually, and he says from the CDC has actually shown that there is less in America for people who get the vaccine So,
Rand Paul says, It's my understanding that that is not true.
And I would like to enter into the record.
Six peer-reviewed papers from the Journal of Vaccine, the Annals of Vaccine, that say the complete opposite of what you say.
I also spoke with your president just last week.
Stephan Bonsell is the CEO. They also have a president.
I spoke with him just last week and he readily acknowledged in private that yes, there is an increased risk of myocarditis.
The fact that you can't say it in public is quite disturbing.
Do you think it's scientifically sound to mandate these vaccines for adolescent boys?
Stefan Bonsal says, This is for Republican leaders to decide.
Well, that's interesting. He says Republican leaders to decide.
It really is. Because the Democrats aren't going to do anything about it.
And perhaps now we have sufficient distance from Trump constantly bragging about his vaccines...
That you can criticize the vaccines without it being seen as a criticism of Trump.
Because we don't want to criticize Trump.
Even Tucker Carlson is coming back after his text came out.
Said, I loathe the guy.
I can't wait until we don't hear any more about him.
And he comes back, no, I truly do love him.
I truly do love him. Even Tucker Carlson is afraid of Trump.
It's amazing to me.
This guy is such a horrible influence on everyone.
So... Again, he says, this is for Republican leaders to decide.
Because they're not going to do it, though.
No, this is for us to decide.
We have to decide.
We have to say that we're not going to be your pincushions.
We're not going to be your lab rats.
We're not going to be your slaves.
And you've killed a lot of people, and you're going to answer for it one way or the other someday.
So anyway, you've been advocating for it, said Rand Paul.
You've been interviewed and you've been advocating for boosters.
Do you know when the myocarditis is most common among these adolescent boys?
It's after the second dose.
When I spoke with your president, he readily acknowledged in private, yeah, maybe there ought to be a discussion whether we ought to have one vaccine versus two versus three.
Rand Paul goes on and says, if 90% of myocarditis comes after the second dose, Why don't we have a rational discussion about only one?
And that's where he loses me.
You see? They always pull a pack.
He gets Fauci. And he says, you know, this vaccine is bad.
And he says, it's so bad that you are creating vaccine hesitancy with people.
We can't have that.
Everybody needs to be taking their vaccines, says Rand Paul.
No. No.
That's where he loses me.
I had a comment on SubscribeStar from a supporter there.
Again, SubscribeStar if you wish to support the program.
You can support. We've got a lot of different tiers there.
As little as $5 a month, you can do that on a regular basis.
It goes up to $200 a month.
And we have some real heroes to us that have signed on to that level and have done it for quite some time.
I really don't thank them enough, but it really is a big foundation to what we do.
But this is a subscriber who says, has anybody else mentioned their employer having them pledge and sign an agreement to comply with company safety policy at work and at home off the clock?
My employer is having us pledge and sign binding agreements to do just that.
I refuse to sign any such documents and my manager had a fit and actually hung up the phone on me.
Later that day, I got a call from HR Human Resources.
I refused again. No further action has happened yet, and may not.
I'm not sure what they will do.
I will keep you updated. Apparently, companies don't want to lose labor hours, even due to injuries off the clock.
I guess you could be fired for violating safety rules at home?
This is crazy. That's from Kevin.
Well, I think, Kevin, what this is, is this is...
We've moved the Overton window quite a bit, right?
A lot of people are working at home.
And if an employer can dictate things to you, like, well, you've got to wear a mask, or you've got to take a vaccine, or you're going to lose your job, or whatever.
We've seen these types of things happening, and I'm not saying your employer did that.
But we've seen this type of stuff happening, and I really do think that it has changed people's mindset.
And that's the worst part about this.
Not only have they left...
This executive order of Trump in place, and Biden has added some of his own executive orders, and he is continually referring back to Trump's executive order to do things like put out student loan forgiveness, totally unrelated things.
They're just using it as a magic wand to do anything they want.
And why isn't Rand Paul or anybody else trying to stop this, right?
Uh, you got the Republicans said, we're going to get rid of that executive order and the one from HHS that Trump's pharmaceutical executive that he put into that spot, put that in, in January.
Then Trump came along and released all the money and kept the money flowing with his executive emergency order and, um, in March.
So, um, The Republican House says we're going to end that.
And so then Biden says, well, I'll do it in May, but not before then.
We've got to keep this going because it is all about the money.
And so, but still, when we look at this, that executive order has been laid down there and it is affecting everything.
And the longer you leave these things down there, the way I see it, it's like the old rule about property lines.
If somebody builds a fence on your property, It's been found over and over again that if you don't say anything about it, you don't protest, you don't tell them to get it off, then after a while, that becomes their property.
They just effectively move the boundary line.
And that is what is really happening with all of this.
As we let them keep these presumed usurped powers in place, we're setting a precedent.
We are that precedent, that bucket of concrete that we're standing in.
It's hardening around our ankles.
And they're going to come in and push us off the dock if we don't get this thing, get out of this bucket that Trump put us into.
And so that's one part of it.
But the other part of it, it's not just from that standpoint, and part of it is a psychological issue, but it's also the idea that now our employers can make all these claims and demands about, in the name of safety or in the name of health, they can do whatever they want to to their employees.
And I think that if they set this up and say, well, you know, it's not the pandemic, but, you know, we're very concerned about your health and we would just like to know that, you know, you're not, you know, doing anything that will violate safety standards like being at work.
Well, if you accept that, Then the next time they tell you that there is a pandemic, whether there is one or not, then they will come in and say, we've already accepted the principle that we are going to dictate to you what is safe and what isn't, even in your home, even in your private life, even in your health care.
I think it's a very dangerous precedent.
I think you're right to not sign that, Kevin.
And I think the problem is that your employer thinks they own you.
They think you're some kind of a slave.
They all want to talk about slavery and the Civil War, don't they?
But they don't want to talk about this kind of slavery that they're putting us into.
The slavery of CBDC. The slavery of these health orders and all the rest of this stuff.
This medical martial law.
So, then there was another video that got a lot of attention.
Some people were looking at it because it was...
Bernie Sanders pretending to care about money.
Since when has Bernie Sanders cared about money?
I think you're charging too much here for this, right?
Mr. Fiscal Responsibility.
That part of it is not important.
What is important is when Stefan Bonsal, the CEO of Moderna, tries to justify why they went up by a factor of four.
He says it's not the same dose now.
We're going up on the dose.
Listen to this. So Chairman Sanders, what we have to do is to deal with a complexity I described, and I'm happy to go into more detail for this hearing.
This is not the same product.
We used to have 10 dose in each vial.
Now we're going to have every vial will have a different dose.
This is not the same product. Given the fact that you have made billions of dollars, that your company has made huge profits, On behalf of the taxpayers of this country, will you reconsider your decision to quadruple the price of the vaccine?
So Chairman Sanders, what we have to do is to deal with a complexity I described, and I'm happy to go into more detail through this hearing.
This is not the same product.
We used to have 10 doses in each vial.
Now we're going to have every vial will have a different dose.
This is not the same product. I understand it, but quadrupling the price...
It's huge, and I will hope very much that you will reconsider that decision.
It's going to cost it. Yeah, yeah.
We're worried about, you know, money coming out.
The reason he's worried about the cost, right?
We have a tax cut.
You know, Bernie Sanders, call him Barney.
Bernie Sanders is out there.
They're looting the treasury.
They're giving people money back.
It's not your money, Bernie.
You know, when you cut taxes, you're saying we're not going to take the money from people.
It's not your money, but he thinks it's all his money, right?
And this guy likes money.
He's obsessed with money.
He's got a lot of different mansions and different places, especially places that all the environmentalists say are going to be underwater.
But, you know, he loves money.
He really does. And he thinks that all the money...
In Washington and all the money that you work for and you labor for, that all belongs to him.
If he cuts your taxes, that's, you know, what's he doing?
You can't let these slaves keep some of that money.
So he's upset about that.
He's not upset about the vaccine that's killing the slaves.
And, but you notice what he had to say.
And when he said, well, this is, each of these things is different.
I don't think, I think that is his awkward English.
Because I don't think what he's talking about is the fact that we saw in Pfizer variations of dosage and mRNA ranging from three milligrams up to, I think his milligram was a unit, But from 3 to 100, it varied that much.
It varied by a factor of 33.
And so what he's saying now is, I think when he says each of these things is going to be different, I think what he means is, Is that instead of packing all this stuff into a vial that had 10, the active ingredient for 10 shots, and that could be some of what is happening in terms of the variation, that each vial will have its own dosage.
But what is that dosage?
Well, the new dosage is going to be on the high side.
It's going to be 100.
Again, I think it's, I don't know if it's milligrams or micrograms, but it's going to be 100.
And that dosage of 100, when you had Naomi Wolf and her people went through, remember, they did a lot registration.
And on theirs, it also recorded the lot registration.
I think that variance was deliberate.
They had not tested these things to see what was going to be an effective dosage, right?
That's a big part of the test that runs for a long time is they take a look at it and see if, you know, what is the dose that we have to have of medicine in order for it to be effective?
And how much is an overdose?
That's very important as well for safety.
So to balance safety and efficacy, you have to balance the dose.
And so I've always believed, because I'm so suspicious of these people, that that radical variation was deliberate.
Because one of the things that they kept track of, not that many, they kept track of when you got the shot, which shot you got, you know, and the lot.
So it's one of just a few variables that they carefully tracked.
And when Naomi Wolf and her team went through it, they found a correlation between this variance of dosage and the really bad adverse effects.
And it's not just an individual dosage, but it's the variation.
Some people got 33 times more active ingredient than other people did.
And so now, what are they going to do?
They're going to up the dosage, and they're going to have individual vials for that.
And they're going to up the dosage to the highest level.
To do the maximum harm.
And they need to be paid more for that.
So that's what is involved here.
The Feds are going to deploy mobile examination centers to collect bio data from Canadians.
This is sent to me by a listener.
It's actually a Rebel News report.
They're going to be going out during a survey.
The stated goal is to create a national baseline data on the extent of major health concerns such as obesity, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease.
That's an important one. Why is that going up even higher now?
Exposure to infectious diseases, etc.
So the collection methods include a personal interview at your residence and a physical examination at a government-run mobile center, which will gather your health information such as body composition, blood pressure, bone density, oral health, along with collecting your blood, urine, bone density, oral health, along with collecting your blood, urine, and saliva.
This bio data will then be stored at the Statistics Canada Biobank for future, quote, health research projects, unquote.
Imagine how valuable information like this would be if it were to fall into the hands of big pharma.
So, if you're skeptical and you don't want a government biobank obtaining and storing samples of your DNA, then you can ignore any request to participate because of the time.
Participation is voluntary.
The sad thing is the data collection exercise comes with monetary incentivization.
Just like that guy who engaged Fauci in D.C. says, why are y'all paying people?
It should be a red flag when they start bribing you to do something.
Which means that all Canadians are paying for this regardless of whether or not they participate.
And so they said, Rebel News said they have filed an access to information request.
It would be like the freedom of information request that we have here in the United States to try to figure out what is really going on with this.
In the UK, there is a trial that is currently going on of Boris Johnson.
It's sad, isn't it, that Boris Johnson has a trial, and it is related to some of the stuff that he did as a lockdown.
When I look at this situation with Trump, it's like there's no justice for what these guys have done to people with their vaccine stuff.
But there is a trial for Boris Johnson because he broke some of the rules that he invented for other people.
The rules that did so much economic, psychological, personal destruction to other people, he violated.
And so this headline, coming from Daily Skeptic, says, Next time a prime minister intends to abridge the liberty of millions, they may remember the scenes of the Boris trial and pause.
So the trial of Boris Johnson has finished its first act, and it comes across as theatrical nonsense, which all these political trials are.
They're just show trials.
Boris Johnson has already admitted that he misled the Commons by falsely denying that parties took place in No.
10. His defense is that he thought he was telling the truth at the time.
He said, I find this all to be very irritating because lying to parliament, which he did, would not even make the top 50 of his lockdown mistakes.
That's right.
But then again, he says there's one way the public is certainly served by this spectacle.
He did draw up these laws.
He did needlessly send the police after tens of thousands of people.
So it's not just right, but it is important that politicians end up ensnared in the traps that they set for others.
And the next time a prime minister intends to abridge the liberty of millions, as he said, they may remember this scene of the Boris trial.
And maybe they'll pause for a moment.
But he goes, just remember some of those who are caught up in these ridiculous laws that he imposed.
Things that he decided arbitrarily to criminalize.
And so I've said from the very beginning, this is medical martial law.
A woman handcuffed for queuing up in a coffee shop.
She's buying coffee. She's handcuffed.
The young woman from Pontypool fined 2,000 pounds after visiting a home to support a friend who had fled an abusive relationship.
The man fined for having driven too far to go fishing.
Parents in Broxbourne fined for letting their child have a sleepover with a friend.
Or the Horncastle pensioners who were fined for eating a bag of chips and a laundrette.
This is the insanity.
This is the insanity that was unleashed by Boris Johnson in the UK. This is the insanity that was financed by Trump.
And Trump continued to send money to governors who pushed this kind of stuff on people in the United States.
Extraordinary change.
Labor data reveals a shocking drop in workplace attendance following the vaccination campaign.
How many times are we going to have data that shows we've had the insurance companies?
You had One America, a big insurance company, I think they have $100 billion in assets.
And they said, we've had so many death payouts here.
They all began in third quarter, and it increased in fourth quarter of 2021.
Well, what else happened there?
As the vaccine was being pressured by government and other employers, that's what was aligned with it.
They said, this is like a once-in-200-year event.
I mean, this is just off the charts.
It's more than three standard deviations away from the mean.
We don't see this kind of thing.
Unprecedented. It's going to have a big economic consequence for us.
Negative big economic consequence.
But on the other hand, you had the biggest funeral home chain, national chain, getting record profits.
And of course, the mental gymnastics and lies of that One America insurance company CEO, saying, well, they say that these are non-COVID deaths, but we know that that can't be true.
They have to be COVID deaths.
I'm going to ignore the data.
You know, he's a numbers guy, right?
Well, I'm just going to ignore that because I know that can't be true.
It's got to be COVID. And we also know that nobody dies if they get the vaccine.
So this has to be COVID deaths from unvaccinated people, even though all the data said it was non-COVID and had nothing to do.
They didn't do a correlation between vaccinated and unvaccinated.
And so he said, therefore, we're going to raise the rates on unvaccinated people.
And so here's another bit of information.
Labor Department data.
This was mined by a former BlackRock portfolio manager, Ed Dowd, and his deep dive partners at Finance Technologies.
They spell that PH. I wonder if they're looking at the finances of pharma, big pharma.
The rate of serious adverse events reported during COVID-19 vaccine trials closely tracked a spike in disabilities.
Reported following the vaccine's official rollout, in their analysis, Dowd and crew used data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
To reveal shocking spike in both employee absence and lost work time rates.
Isn't that interesting? You know, we have the VAERS database.
We have the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The military's got its own database that they were very, very careful about because that would be something they would want to monitor to see if the military was under a bioweapon attack, which it is.
But you have all these government databases and they aren't interested in looking at them.
Or telling you what they know.
And then when other people do it for them, they come back and, no, no, no, no.
There's nothing to see here. It's just criminal.
Our government is killing us.
Deliberately. Criminally killing us.
And they're holding show trials about, you know, today you had one of these clowns, three clowns in the U.S. House.
Said, well, we want Alvin Bragg to come here.
And we got some questions for him.
And one of them said that if he's not there by Thursday, there's going to be some explaining to do, Lucy.
Who cares? Who cares about that?
People are being killed and they don't care about that.
Oh, but we care about Trump.
Trump is all we care about.
Trump takes up the entire news cycle.
I think it's amazing. Every time I think of that and how he's just sucked up all the news cycle now for years.
After January the 6th and even after everybody could say, well, nothing's going to happen and they installed Biden and all the rest of this stuff.
I had people contact me all the time and say, Trump's living rent-free in your head.
It's like he's living rent-free in everybody's head.
He's living rent-free on the, he's not paying for the ads that he's getting from all the media.
He's making lots of money off of it.
But anyway, in their latest analysis, they found a shocking spike in both employee absence and lost work time rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which they believe would be due from vaccines.
And so they came up and to summarize it, if you want to show the chart there, they've got, there you go.
So they compared these increases here.
You can see 28.6% increase in 2020 from 2019.
2021, a 28.6% increase from 2019.
And then in 2022, it jumps 50%.
Now, what does this mean?
Was there a pandemic that was getting people sick?
There was a flu that was going around, another strain.
And I don't really care whether it was man-made or not.
It was a strain of flu that was easily treated by ivermectin, but it was prohibited to give people a safe and effective treatment.
Instead, they were given very expensive, ineffective, and life-threatening treatments, like intubation, like remdesivir, and other things like that.
I believe that's what it was, and not a pandemic.
It was financially incentivized medical malpractice.
I've said that from the very beginning.
And so I think that's why you see the increase of 28.6% over 2019 in both 2020 and 2021, but then all of a sudden it doubles.
What happened? Well, again, they started rolling it out in September, but it really was fourth quarter that they really got this thing underway.
And a lot of these disabilities are going to take a little while.
At first, people are sick, and then it's going to be, well, I just can't come back to work because I'm not getting well.
That's why you're going to see it showing up in 2022.
Dowd said it's not a stretch to conclude from this data that the vaccines are causing death, disabilities, injuries due to a degradation of individuals' immune system.
The rate of change is not explained by long COVID trope.
Ask yourself, who's funding such studies?
And again, you know, we have people say, well, it's just people who are retiring.
They got that free money.
They don't want to go back to work.
No. Look at the deaths.
Look at the explosion in deaths.
Look at the explosion in disabilities.
It's all there in their statistics.
Private companies' statistics as well as government statistics.
And they continue to lie to people about it.
Before we take a break, let's talk about what's going on in the military.
We've had...
In the past, we had some doctors who got the medical database, the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database, DMED. That is there, as I said before, so they know if they're under biological attack, they monitor that very closely.
They put everything in there.
You know, the VAERS database...
It's a voluntary thing for people to put it in.
And going back years ago, HHS, which, you know, NIH and the VAERS database and all the rest of this stuff, did a study.
They paid Harvard to do a study, and they said only about 1% of the cases are reported.
But then with the Trump shots, people were actively discouraged and punished if they reported into that database.
So the VAERS database is much, much smaller.
And if you look at the DMED database, you had all these different conditions that were going up by hundreds of percent.
Hundreds of percent increases when you had some people look at it.
So the response from the military was just to say, well, you compared what just happened this year to a baseline of the previous five years average.
They said all that data for the previous five years was all wrong.
We did that all wrong. And of course, nobody pays any penalty for that.
Nobody believes that either, by the way.
So the data was downloaded by a whistleblower.
It was given to Senator Ron Johnson.
The whistleblower downloaded data from DMED in 2023, about a year after the Pentagon said that it fixed a data corruption issue with the military health system.
So this is the second time, right?
First time, you got some people who are actively in the service.
And the Pentagon just says, well, don't believe our database.
It was wrong up until this year.
And so you can't believe any of the data that we've been keeping in that mission-critical function.
And so now, a year later, another whistleblower has downloaded this stuff.
And the newly disclosed data shows much higher increases than the Pentagon previously reported.
The military, for example, had claimed that the rate of pulmonary embolism had increased only 25%.
Well, that in of itself would be a pretty bad flag, but that's much different than the 468% increase that is actually in the database.
You see how they're flat out lying to people?
This is cold-blooded murder.
And any doctors who push back against any of this stuff, if you offer people safe, effective, and cheap medications like ivermectin, they come after you.
If you report the adverse effects, they fire you as well.
I reported a couple of weeks ago about a Florida doctor, John Littell, or Little, I think it is Littell, L-I-T-T-E-L-L. The guy's a real hero.
He's a really nice guy.
They interviewed him after he spoke.
They had invited people to speak about this.
He's a U.S. Army veteran.
He's a family physician.
And I played the...
A statement that he had, they walked him out, cut him off, walked him out.
That's one of the things when I went to speak at the Tennessee Senate, the very first guy who talked was a doctor.
It wasn't about any of this stuff.
It was about changing some of the reporting rules or something.
It was hard to tell what he was saying.
And maybe he was cut off because he didn't turn his microphone on.
You got to sit down. They got a bench with a lot of different microphones.
And so you turn it on and you turn it off, you know, when you get finished.
So the mics are not going all the time.
And so he was going on for a while.
And then the guy just gaveled him off.
And I thought, oh, I better shorten my speech.
And I'd been told I had 15 minutes of talking.
I cut it down really short.
And... But they did the same thing to this doctor.
It's like, you know, bring out the hook and take him off.
And he had been public about treating 3,000 COVID patients with ivermectin.
He said, I got disciplined for giving ivermectin, which got a young mom out of the hospital in three days when she would have died.
And that's what he said. And then they take him out when he said that in front of other people.
Because again, like I said, it wasn't a virus that was killing people in 2020.
It was Financially Incentivized Medical Malpractice.
He's now facing further discipline.
This was sent to me by a listener from the board there.
He's been a certified member of this medical board, the ABFM. I'm not sure what those initials stand for, but it's a board.
Since July 13, 1990.
33 years he's been a member of this board.
He said that they've determined that, or the letter says, ABFM has determined that your public channels contain false, inaccurate, misleading statements constituting health misinformation and disinformation about COVID and the vaccine and the effort of public health officials to address the pandemic through vaccination and other mitigation measures.
And so they have a list of grievances against him.
Saying that he called the vaccine a, quote, product of genetic engineering.
For a long time I've called it the GCI. I hate calling it a vaccine.
The genetic code injection.
He said, yeah, it's a product of genetic engineering.
He said, back when he claimed that the vaccine was causing the deaths of children, he said they wrote him a letter.
And said, there's no evidence that pediatric myocarditis deaths attributed to COVID vaccination are more numerous than prevented deaths, serious illness, or hospitalization from COVID. And they said myocarditis caused by COVID vaccination is mild and not associated with fatalities.
There is no mild infection of the heart.
Any damage done to the heart is not restored, not healed.
But this is interesting, because even though that's a lie, what is interesting is that they're finally admitting in that lie that it is damaging people's heart.
It's giving them myocarditis.
They just say, well, it's rare.
It's rare. And it's not worse than COVID. So he asked, he said, so are they going to decertify Florida's Surgeon General, Dr.
Latipo? Because he's saying the same thing that I'm saying.
He's admitted now, Latipo has, working for DeSantis, they've admitted this is harmful for kids.
So they specifically mentioned the Florida summit on COVID, where he went to speak, where he was thrown out, and they had cops escort him out of the building.
They didn't just take him away from the microphone.
They escorted him out of the building.
The letter says that his certification is rescinded as of March the 16th, and he has 20 days to appeal the decision.
He says the board is politically charged and corrupt.
He said what this means, by taking away the board certification that he's had for 33 years, he could lose his ability to teach medical students, possibly lose the ability to be reimbursed by Medicare and Medicaid.
He says, I guarantee this is done because this video went viral, the one that I showed.
If you decertify every physician for talking about the safety of a drug, you would decertify everyone, he said.
We will ultimately prevail, not only in the legal arena, but primarily in the court of public opinion.
If Americans want to have physicians who are truly independent, who value the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship, who practice according to the basic tenet of first, do no harm, Then we together must fight against those institutions,
such as the specialty boards, which choose rather to treat us like trainable puppies with choke collars and tight leashes, preparing to discipline us whenever we choose to exercise our First Amendment right to speak freely about the potential dangers of certain medications, vaccines, or procedures which will, in truth, do harm.
To the patients that we serve.
Well, that's what, he's not the first person to have that happen to him, and of course he won't be the last.
Fauci says, and that American Masters, you know, it's pretty amazing the things that happen there.
And the statement, he says, yeah, these bunch of Republicans, they don't like to be told what to do.
Yeah, they're Americans. They don't like to be told what to do.
I doubt they're Republicans. They're in Washington, D.C. A poor black neighborhood in Washington, D.C. Anyway, Fauci also said in that program, American Masters, we need to do things that make a pathogen more transmissible or more pathogenic.
He says, yeah, some people call that gain of function.
That is the definition of gain of function.
You make it more lethal. You make it more easy to transmit.
And this has been going back and forth with Fauci, these people, since 2014.
They were told to stop doing it.
So then they went, they continued to do it, even with some American universities.
And then they took some of the research offshore, kept, you know, paying at Wuhan and other places to continue to do gain of function.
Fauci, his boss, Francis Collins, the entire bureaucracy doesn't care.
What they're told. They are independent.
They truly are independent of any oversight.
They do regulation without representation.
They do taxation without representation.
And they do very dangerous things, even though they're told by elected people not to do them, even though they're violating laws.
Fauci says, yeah, there's a number of experiments that They need to be done on viruses.
How are you going to know whether or not they're capable of infecting humans?
You've got to do something under certain circumstances to make a pathogen more transmissible, more pathogenic.
Some people refer to that as gain-of-function.
We all do.
We'll be right back.
The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
People have to trust me.
I mean, trust the science.
Wear your mask.
Take your vaccine.
Don't ask questions.
Using free speech to free minds.
It's the David Knight Show.
It's not just Fauci who doesn't want you listening to me, or anybody else that goes against the narrative that they have.
It's also people like Justin Trudeau, the tyrant of Canada.
He says, online disinformation fuels flat earthers and anti-vaxxers.
Well, I'm proud to call myself an anti-vaxxer.
I was an anti-vaxxer before the Trump shot.
It's one of the things that made it easy for me to see what was happening here.
Because I'd followed the pharmaceutical industry, Fauci and these other idiots out there.
Not idiots. They're very clever.
They're very smart. They're evil.
I've been following them for quite some time.
I knew what their MO was.
I knew exactly how they lied to people.
What really got me angry was other people who did the same thing, who worked with me, who started pushing their propaganda because they could make money selling drugs.
You know, fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Products that would cater to that.
But, you know, I'm not a flat earther.
People get angry with me.
They write me letters all the time.
Frankly, I don't care.
I don't care what shape the earth is.
I see no evidence that it's flat.
I see evidence to the contrary.
And as far as I'm concerned, it makes absolutely no difference.
The vaccine is killing people.
Let's stay focused on the issue here.
So, you know, we have to talk about Trump, but I don't have to talk about a flat earth.
What he had to say, I thought was kind of interesting.
He said, of course, he said, I began looking at the flat earth stuff to try to figure out these anti-science people.
And he said...
So we're trying to understand the phenomenon of anti-vaxxers and anti-science and anti-skeptics.
Oh, wait a minute.
Anti-skeptic? What does that mean?
I've never seen that before. Trudeau said that.
See, that's the problem.
Science is skepticism.
Show me. Show me.
Prove it. Right? Show me the money, show me the data, all the rest of the stuff, but it is about skepticism.
Science only advances when there's skepticism.
Science only advances when the general consensus is challenged.
And all the great stories of science, the breakthroughs and everything, are always about that.
But he says he's an anti-skeptic, or he accuses people who are anti-vaxxers, anti-science, of being anti-skeptics.
No, that's what he is.
He doesn't want any skepticism.
He wants you to believe and obey whatever it is that he tells you.
He's against skepticism.
And then he talks about how they need to censor.
He says Canadians must contemplate how to responsibilize.
That's a new word, I guess. Responsibilize.
Make responsible tech companies who have control over what he calls, quote, the digital public square.
I've said this for years now.
It's now five years since the first wave of censorship kicking everybody off at InfoWars.
All the platforms all at once.
And you had Jack Dorsey going to Congress multiple times and under oath is about eight times I counted.
He referred to Twitter as a digital public square.
Trudeau is referring to these platforms now as a digital public square.
And I'll give credit to Alam Bakari.
He was one who I first saw mention this Supreme Court case of Marsh v.
Alabama in 1946, where it was a company, Coal Town.
They owned everything.
The public square was privately owned.
And a lady was handing out religious tracts.
I said, no, you can't do that here.
She took them all the way to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court said... Even if the public square is privately owned, you can't shut down free speech there.
And so if it is a digital public square that is privately owned, the same principle applies.
And I wish more people would talk about that.
I haven't seen Alam Bukhari bring that argument up again.
I've had arguments with...
Robert Barnes about that.
The more recent ones are them saying that you can't have free speech in a mall.
The mall is not a public square.
The mall is retail space.
Even if you're out in the general area, the food courts, or you're in the areas where people are walking around, that's not a public square.
They put kiosks out there.
That is, you'd either be obstructing foot traffic, or you would be setting up in retail space where they put kiosks there.
Not the same thing at all.
So those cases out of California, in my opinion, do not apply.
Anyway, how we responsibilize, says Trudeau, how we responsibilize...
The companies that are controlling so much, the private companies that are controlling so much of the public square you now live in that doesn't have police paid by your taxes to keep you safe.
And so we need these people who have control over the digital public square.
We need them responsible to us, right?
He said people are starting to see, also as he starts bragging about his diversity stuff, People are starting to see that gender balance and inclusive policies are not just sort of ticking a box.
That's exactly what they are. Intersectionality is like, okay, we got a list of nice physical attributes that nobody can change about themselves, right?
Their gender, their race, their skin color, you know, whatever.
It's not race, but it's skin color.
All these different things.
And so some of them are good and some of them are bad.
And so we're going to check these boxes.
And if you've got a lot of the boxes that we like, skin colors we like, gender we like, sexual fantasies that we like, then we'll hire you.
And if you check the boxes that we don't like, we don't like your religion, we don't like your skin color, we don't like your gender, then you won't get hired.
So he says, it's not just sort of ticking a box.
That's exactly what it is.
Or being nice or looking like you're in a modern, progressive company.
It's actually about better solutions and better quality of output.
Well, I think you can look around and look at the society that we've got right now.
I think this ESG stuff is not serving us too well.
And he said, people understood.
Trust our science.
Trust the doctors.
Trust the government.
They're going to be able to be there to support you when you say, stay home, can't go to work, but you'll still be able to pay the rent and pay the groceries.
Isn't that what Trump did to us?
How is Trump different from Trudeau?
I really don't understand.
I mean, you know, he was telling us to trust the science, trust the doctors, trust Fauci here on the podium with me, and trust the fact that even though I'm telling you that we're going to shut down your business and we're going to shut down your job, we'll still give you a stimulus check to keep you going.
Please tell me.
That's right.
Twice to keep his emergency declaration at the border, and eight times to keep war going in the Middle East.
Well, that's an interesting stat.
I had not seen that, but that tells you something, doesn't it?
Thank you. Appreciate that.
And that's on Rumble, conservative thinker.
Also on Rumble is Nick's dad.
He says, up here in Canada, it's now normal for 70 out of 100 women to miscarry it in the first 10 weeks.
The new normal. It is about mass murder and depopulation sterilization again.
From the very beginning, Pfizer saw that the spike was accumulating in the spleen and in the ovaries.
More than anything, it was about 20 for both of those.
The spleen was slightly ahead of the ovaries, but the spleen is filtering the blood.
And so we'd expect it to see it there.
But it went For the ovaries.
And again, the unit of measurement, I forget what it was, of density, of accumulation.
And it was about 20 for those.
Everything else was a tiny fraction, less than one.
So, and also on Rockfin.
Thank you very much, Ben Tice.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
The WHO's proposals for future pandemics are almost everything that Bill Gates demanded.
Well, that's because he owns them.
This article from The Daily Skeptic says in his extremely stupid book, How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.
And of course he says, this is going to, if we do all this stuff that I tell you to do, there will be no more pandemics.
You believe that? Yeah, he's got all kinds of things he'd like to sell you, not just a bridge.
Bill Gates proposed expanding the World Health Organization with a division of Pandemic Shock Troops called the Global Epidemic Response Immobilization Team.
GERM. I wonder how much he paid somebody to come up with that acronym.
He should have called it, come up with an acronym that spells out COOTIES or something.
That would have been a tell, I guess.
He envisioned a crack unit of 3,000 diversely talented technocrats who could be airdropped into a developing outbreak anywhere in the world, handle everything from subverting local human rights to sequencing random genomes.
He was also very emphatic that he wanted more pandemic war games because they're fun events where he gets to hobnob with his favorite virus wizards and pose as an important philanthropist for the cameras.
This is from Eugypius on Daily Skeptic.
I like that. Very funny.
So, yeah, but maybe he could call them germ busters.
We are ready to believe you have a pandemic.
And they're ready to lock you up.
They're ready to imprison you as well.
So anyway, it's a network of the world's top health emergency leaders.
The Emergency Corps plans to run drills to practice for outbreaks.
They practiced for 20 years before they did this one, going back to dark winter.
And of course, really what we've seen happen under Trump was the second shooter drop from 9-11 under George W. Bush.
One of the most important jobs of the Corps will be to take quick action to stop the spread of a pathogen.
So be aware.
Be very aware. And, you know, we talk a lot about this, and I don't want people to get a sense of hopelessness about this.
There is no reason for us to be hopeless.
The truth is on our side, and we need to proclaim it loudly.
And I just want to give you another bit of hope here about God being in control.
This is an article that came from CBN.com.
Dr. Landon D. Vinson, medical doctor, an emergency room doctor at Coffeyville Regional Medical Center in Coffeyville, Kansas, recently told members of the First Assembly of God about the miracle that he witnessed along with their pastor.
Reverend Randy DePriest.
In a video that was posted on YouTube, Vinson gives his testimony to the congregation.
It was during the spring of 2021 at the height of the COVID pandemic when an unnamed woman was taken to the emergency room in Coffeyville.
She was receiving CPR when she was brought into the emergency room and she was given CPR for an entire hour after arriving, but she died.
He said, we did get her heart beating again, but essentially the only thing keeping her heart going were shots of adrenaline in her bloodstream and putting her on a ventilator.
From a medical standpoint, she wasn't alive.
She was what we call brain dead.
He described to the congregation the numerous ways that medical officials determined that a person has died.
In this instance, they found no signs of life.
The woman's eyes were fixed and dilated.
She showed no gag reflex.
Her limbs showed signs of mottling, which precedes the onset of rigor mortis.
So Dr. Vincent, his staff, and the woman's husband decided to remove her from life support.
And according to Vincent, the woman's husband asked someone to call the priest, this pastor, to come and pray.
So, Vincent said he told the man, sure, we'll wait for the pastor to get here.
He thought that he and his nurses would simply wait for the pastor out of respect for the woman and her husband.
A few minutes later, the priest arrived at the hospital.
He's not the priest.
His name is DePriest, like DeSantis.
You know, D-E Priest is his full name.
It's kind of funny. How...
This is the pastor, the priest.
Anyway, I shouldn't make fun of people's names.
But I think it is an interesting name to have when that is your profession.
So the priest arrives at the hospital.
The staff had not told him about the woman's condition.
So he placed his hand on her shoulder and began to pray.
The doctor said, we began to pray over her.
My head was bowed. There was a nurse in the room.
Maybe just a couple of minutes into the prayer...
A machine began sounding an alarm.
I thought I would just turn it off so it wouldn't be distracting.
When I looked up, spontaneous breath had come back.
And I saw a hand moving on this woman.
As a pastor prayed over her, he began to ask her questions.
And she nodded her head in response.
He called her by name and said, This is Pastor Randy.
I've come to pray for you.
Her eyes opened. And he asked, Can you hear me?
Okay. And she nodded, yes.
Then the priest said, do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior?
She nodded, yes.
He said, that's great news.
Today we're going to do what Scripture says, where two or three agree.
Touching anything. Believing in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Asking him. It will be done.
So, I'm asking God to restore your health.
To heal you. Does that sound alright?
She nodded yes. This made no sense to me, said the doctor, because she didn't have any sign of life.
We had taken her off all medications.
We had given her four medications to keep her going.
He said her blood pressure was strong.
It was going through the roof. She was blinking her eyes.
Remember, her eyes were fixed and dilated before.
I leaned down and asked, Can you hear me?
She nodded, Yes. Do you want us to keep going and fight?
She aggressively shook her head, Yes.
That was the first true miracle I've ever seen, he said.
It was very humbling.
He said, I kept hearing God say, That is my child.
I decide who lives.
You know, it's interesting.
There was a book done by Lee Strobel.
You may remember him from The Case for Christ.
He had sold a lot of those.
But he has done some follow-ups on that.
He did one called The Case for Miracles.
And in that, they had a 2004 survey that he referred to of 1,100 doctors.
And they found that doctors...
Believed in miracles far, far more than the general public.
In that survey, 2004, of the 1,100 doctors, they said 55% saw patients healed in a way that they said was miraculous.
75% believe that miracles occur today.
60% pray for their patients.
What is it that they're seeing?
Well, this is one example of it.
As the woman began responding, the priest described to the congregation how two nurses quickly left the room to prepare her for sedation since she was becoming agitated from her intense pain.
He noted when the medical professionals returned to transfer her from Coffeyville to another hospital for possible surgery, observation, recovery, she was fighting to remove herself from the gurney on which they had placed her.
Vinson, the physician, He said he attempted to find reasons for the event in his medical book, but he couldn't find anything.
He said it was then they'd heard a voice in his head saying, it's me.
There's nothing else.
It's me. As an emergency room doctor, he's very familiar with death.
She was on multiple medications, he said.
We call them vasopressors.
Pressors for short.
These IV infusions keep the heart beating, increase the heart squeeze, and constrict blood vessels, all in an attempt to keep blood pressure high enough to perfuse the brain and vital organs.
Other than those infusions keeping her heart beating and generating a blood pressure in the ventilator giving oxygen and ventilating the lungs, there was no clinical sign of life.
Her neurologic exam would classify her as brain dead.
Therefore, justifiable to remove her from artificial life support.
As Pastor DePriest came in, we had just turned all her vasopressors off and were preparing to extubate to take the patient off of the ventilator and anticipated rapid progression to the pronouncement of her death, he said.
He says, I see no other explanation than a miracle for this phenomenon.
I'm not claiming that a pastor raised a woman from the dead.
I'm saying his steadfast faith and prayer triggered or released something spiritual in a transcendental realm.
I don't know that I'll ever understand the mechanism, but I know she was dead before the prayer and live after.
So, you know, we look at this and we say, well, I know people that we've prayed for and nothing has happened.
And that's the case because God is not a genie.
God does not do everything that we want.
If he did, he's not our servant in that regard.
You know, when you go back and you look at the story of Lazarus, who was raised from the dead, why was it?
Well, Jesus said it was so the Son of God might be glorified.
God does things that are going to glorify him.
Who knows why he did this in this life?
He might have had multiple reasons for doing it.
And the bottom line is, Lazarus died again and has stayed dead.
But raising him from the dead glorified Jesus Christ.
This story, as it's being told, glorifies Jesus Christ.
But the other thing about it that we see, why does it glorify him?
Well, because we see that God has power over life and death.
And that's why we have a confident expectation that we die, that God can give life again as he has given it before.
And that's what glorifies him.
And the people who have faith in him glorifies him.
And he is able to do that.
So we should not despair of these things.
Even if we die.
And even if they are able to go through with their wars and their vaccine campaigns and all the rest of this stuff, even if they get their CBDC on us, we do not despair.
Because God is in control.
And because this life is very short.
But the next life is eternal, if we know Christ.
And so that's the thing that should be the foundation as you look at this.
Keep that in perspective.
Don't give up and despair about any of this.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
And now, The David Knight Show.
Well, on Rumble, North American House Hippo, thank you for the tip and comment.
He says that was so powerful.
It was a powerful testimony, wasn't it, from that doctor?
When I was sick back in February, it meant so much to me.
When Chaplain Don came in and spoke with me and prayed, prayer really does work.
Thank you so much. Well, it does.
And I've got to say, you know, I remember when I was very young, It was the only time I've been in the hospital my entire life.
I've been really blessed with good health.
The only time I was in the hospital until I had a heart attack was when I was very, very young, way before I went to school.
I don't remember the exact age.
And I actually had tomain poisoning.
But they thought for two days.
They thought that I had viral meningitis.
It was contagious. They wouldn't even let my parents in.
But there was a pastor who came in.
It was pretty amazing.
Because he was not afraid to die.
I've told that story many times.
Yes.
Throughout this so-called pandemic.
So we don't have to be afraid of that.
We have to be afraid of these people who want to lock us up and keep the key.
If you're a Christian, you don't have to be afraid of death.
That was a lesson. I was very young.
Um... I'm a rock band.
Stephanie, thank you for the tip.
She said, watch the banks who own your mortgage eventually require CBDC for payment and for county taxes to be changed to CBDC only if you have no mortgage, no compliance, no house, no land. What's the solution?
Well, again, that's why I think the solution is what DeSantis was talking about.
And I think that's why we need to elevate what he had to say.
You know, what they're trying to do, they introduced 20 bills in 20 different states to essentially redefine what money is and to prohibit crypto.
Now, you can do exactly the opposite of that.
And you can say, well, the definition of money is this, and we are going to still go with cash for payment, and we are not going to allow CBDC, domestic or foreign, to be used for payment.
And so that is the approach, and I think it's one of the reasons why this story has been spiked by everybody, by everybody.
Even the people who will do stories about CBDC occasionally.
Spike that story. Why?
Well, because they don't want to offend Trump.
And also because they want the professional wrestling aspects of this.
They want the conflict between Trump and DeSantis.
They want all that stuff. But even if they'll talk about CBDC, even if they think CBDC is a threat.
Now, if you say it, Because DeSantis and Trump are on other sides.
Now Trump is going to perceive you as his enemy.
Or more importantly, MAGA. MAGA hates DeSantis now.
Because he pointed out that this is all about hush money paid to a porn star for Trump's whatever you want to call it.
I don't know a polite term.
We all know what we're talking about here.
Anyway, that is something.
MAGA hates DeSantis over this.
So we better not talk about his press conference where he was talking about CBDC. On Rumble, North American House Hippo says, Unfortunately, my mom is back in the hospital.
She was originally hospitalized back in January, but she got better and was sent home.
I'm grateful that I got to say everything that we need to say before the inevitable happens.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Pray God will bless you through this time of separation.
Temporary separation, hopefully.
Thank you, David.
I needed to hear this today. My sister has cancer.
And it has cancer that is now spread to her spine.
They're giving her months to live.
Both of us believe in the power of prayer.
Please pray for us.
Yes, we will. That is the thing.
Our hope is not in this life.
We're not... You know, we always pray for relief from disease, that our time would be extended, and that's appropriate to pray for that.
But we need the perspective.
One of the reasons why I talked about Rupert Murdoch, 92 years old, and his new wife, 66 years old, and both of them said independent of each other.
Well, this is for the second half of my life.
Lord, teach us to number our days and to understand that everything, and we all do.
And there's so much, especially when people are young and they have health issues.
It was an amazing quote by Robert E. Lee, who as he had had so many people that he was so close to die in the war, and then people after the war, as other loved ones died, his wife preceded him, things like that.
He had a quote.
He said, one by one, God removes the things that tie us to this earth.
And I think that is absolutely true.
And so that is, we have to have that perspective.
And quite frankly, if we have that perspective, an eternal perspective, that's what gives us the power to leverage that and to make changes without fear in this world.
We don't need to be driven into fear about a pandemic.
Or other things. But it is always serious when it happens to us.
Nobody wants to go through that experience.
Nobody wants to see their loved ones go through it or be separated.
And on Rumble, Sprumford, thank you for the tip.
It says, DLive Crew is sending you lots of love, Mr.
Knight. Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that. Also on Rumble, Bronco Charlie, thank you for the tip.
I appreciate that. Let's do talk about what is happening with financial things.
The Fed hiked the rate yesterday by a quarter percentage point.
After what had happened, a lot of people said, well, I think they're going to ease back on this so they don't drive us into recession or depression.
And this is yet the ninth hike.
Since March of last year, in just one year, nine rate hikes that they have done.
Significant ones.
Three times what they were doing on a regular basis when they drove us into the 2008 recession.
And so they said, well, we think that this is appropriate, this quarter point increase, this 25 basis point increase.
We think it's appropriate in order to attain a stance of monetary policy that is sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2%.
Over time. That is always their goal.
That is the goal of all the central banks, and it's one of the things that I said when I spoke to the Tennessee Senate Committee.
I said, you know, you look at the mismanagement of the Federal Reserve, and now they're trying to get even more power, more centralization.
But I said, if you look at the period, 113 years, from 1800 to 1913, The average inflation rate per year was negative 0.2%.
Slightly deflationary.
The dollar held its value.
Actually gained some value over that 113 years.
Then the Federal Reserve is created.
And over the last 110 years, it has averaged 3.5%.
It went from minus...
0.2% to 3.5%.
However, it is, as we all know, really accelerated over the last three years.
It was over 5%.
Over the last year, it's been over 6%.
And those numbers are numbers that they have cooked because they cooked the books on how they calculate inflation back in the 1990s.
So it's much, much worse than that.
And all the countries have that goal of 2% inflation per year.
Only four countries right now have achieved that.
And so this is a global issue, and it's not just, you know, Russia who's operating under sanctions.
The inflation rate, Russia has like 12% inflation.
The inflation rate in Sweden, which is not under crushing sanctions, is, of course, the sanctions haven't crushed them.
Sanctions have another evidence that the sanctions have hurt European countries even more than they've hurt Russia, because Sweden is seeing 13% inflation.
John Rubino on Substack says, And just like that, the tight money era is over.
At the beginning of last week, everybody expected central banks to tighten until something breaks.
By the end of the week, it was clear they'd already broken everything.
That is true.
Lenders were already scared.
Now they're terrified. Banks were already tightening credit standards before last week's flash crisis.
Now virtually all of them We'll stop lending to anyone but their strongest clients.
And so that is happening.
We also see in terms of commercial real estate, in terms of automobile loans, the autos are a bursting bubble, a number of underwater car loans where the loan balance exceeds the value of the car.
Has been rising for months.
Interest rates on used car loans had jumped from an average of 8% to over 10% last year.
Commercial real estate was toast anyway, but now it is burnt toast.
And this is something that Gerald Salenti always talks about.
And, as I said, it is this massive problem that is going to come down on us.
As a matter of fact, in China, all these empty cities that they've built, they're now pulling them down.
Interesting to watch how these buildings fall and compare it to 9-11.
Never fully recovered from the pandemic lockdowns.
No, it wasn't the pandemic lockdowns.
It was the Trump lockdowns. The pandemic didn't lock anybody down.
It didn't even exist. The virus didn't do it.
COVID didn't do it. Trump did it.
All these politicians, Boris Johnson did it.
Trudeau did it. Let's call it the Trudeau lockdown or the Trump lockdown or the Bojo lockdown.
Building prices were beginning to fall and the specter of commercial real estate crash was looming.
And all that was before the banks and regulators went into their current panic mode.
So the Federal Reserve...
Is increasing interest rates in the middle of a banking crisis.
That's a headline from Breitbart.
The increase is the same increase that it implemented last month.
They didn't even slow down.
And so January was a little bit slower than some of the previous raises.
Again, they were going up 75 basis points or three quarters of a percent each month, but they're not doing that now.
Fed central banks and other central banks created the current crisis and And are on course to make matters worse.
This article by Eves Smith via Naked Capitalism says, The incompetence of our financial regulators, most of all the Fed, is breathtaking.
Is it incompetence? I had a friend who, when I would talk about some of these things, he was not a like-mind with me.
He would say, well, I always say, never attribute to maliciousness what can be explained with incompetence.
And I say, well, I don't know why you would say that.
If a person's got a malicious history, if a person has written, you know, you got somebody like the Unabomber, for example, and he's got his manifesto or somebody else, some terrorist organization or some globalist organization, if they've got a manifesto and they've been following it like a cookbook, why would you say that's incompetence?
It is incompetence.
You know, a lot of people think, well, look at this.
You know, the schools are just failing.
So sad, you know.
Johnny can't read, can't write.
He can't do math.
You realize that was the design.
That's not an act. That's not incompetence.
The schools are doing what they were intended to do.
The Federal Reserve is doing what it intended to do.
They said, what is happening now is the worst sort of policy meets supervisory failure.
Not anticipating that the rapid rate increases would break some banks?
You don't think they knew that?
Yeah, Trump didn't know any of this stuff.
He didn't know what was going on with Fauci.
He didn't know what would happen with the vaccine or the lockdown.
And even after, everybody's dropping dead, you know?
He still doesn't know, and he's still pushing it.
No, it's not incompetence.
They didn't have the wool pulled over their eyes.
After the SVB collapse, almost 190 new banks could fail, says a new study.
Well, yeah, that's where we are.
Very quickly, we're going back to the situation that we saw in 2008.
And the feds are using the banking crisis to usher in the central bank digital currency.
This is a very long article from Children's Health Defense.
I would recommend you look at it.
It pretty much summarizes what I've been saying for the last two weeks.
They talked to Catherine Austin-Fitz, who really understands this very well.
Whether you think that this is incompetence or we think this is a manufactured crisis, either way, they're going to use this to pull in CBDC. But when you look at what they've done for crypto, I think that really shows that it's their plan.
As do their papers.
They've got signed confessions of what they want to do.
And so Moody's, as we pointed out last week, has now lowered the outlook for the entire banking system in the U.S. to be negative.
And this is now showing up in Europe with a Swiss situation with the Credit Suisse.
The forced marriage, as they put it, between UBS and troubled Credit Suisse this past weekend.
Too big to fail institutions.
Like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, among others, inundated with billions of dollars of new deposits as smaller lenders are facing turmoil.
It is that flight of capital, that aspect of the fear, that is going to crush the small and medium-sized banks and the federal come out and say, well, we didn't know.
I'm so sorry that happened. We just didn't know.
They know perfectly well.
And I think it's very telling when you look at what Janet Yellen has done.
Now, Janet Yellen is Treasury Secretary right now, but she had been for many years Chair of the Federal Reserve.
She's been going back and forth.
As a matter of fact, I saw this yesterday afternoon.
I'd see one article which would say that Janet Yellen said we're going to protect everybody's deposit, small and large.
And then I would see another one saying, well, she's not going to do it.
It's like, well, which is it? Well, she switched flip-flop back and forth like Fauci with the masks, right?
She flipped back and forth within a 24-hour period a couple of times.
And so by yesterday afternoon, 340, Reuters said, no, she says they're not going to extend it to anybody but the biggest banks.
She said that first, and she said, no, we're going to do it for everybody.
Then it's back to, well, we're not going to do it for everybody.
That is going to create more capital flight from the small and medium-sized banks, and it will starve, it'll strangle them.
And then they'll say, we had nothing to do with it.
Catherine Austin Fitz, founder and president of the Solari Report.
As a matter of fact, I've got a great report of hers, and I haven't had time to go through it, but I want to finish that, and I'll be bringing that to you as well in some detail.
She really does understand what's going on.
It's a symptom of mismanagement, she says, of the federal credit by the Fed and the Department of Treasury over a very long period of time.
Well, we can all agree on that.
You know, we can disagree as to what their motives are, but we can all agree that it's been mismanagement.
And of course, Catherine Austin-Fitz knows that the end game is CBDC. She's been saying that as well for quite some time.
She said the goal of their economic management strategies has been to centralize control and to centralize money.
Economist Jeffrey Sachs explained that the direct route of the current crisis is the tightening of monetary conditions by the Fed and the European Central Bank after years of expansionary monetary policy.
And so, you know, this is again the Children's Health Defense Fund that is talking about this.
Me and the crypto world have caught on, though.
See, the crypto world understands because they have been targeted as public enemy number one, and the Biden administration has made no bones about it.
And you had the Federal Reserve threatening banks, shutting banks down because they deal with crypto.
And so Children's Health Defense says many in the crypto world argued that these banks were taken down because they had some of the biggest stakes among banks in the nation in the cryptocurrency industry.
Exactly right. Signature Bank, the second bank to fail, had crypto clients that included USD Coin, digital currency that is fully backed by the U.S. dollar assets, and And by, you know, Circle that owns them.
So, I said, and Barney Frank, all the stuff that I've been telling you over the last couple of weeks, saying that regulators wanted to send a very strong anti-crypto message to all the banks.
They've been sending very explicit anti-crypto messages for several months now.
But it really ramped up, you know, with all the SBF failure and FTX and all that sort of thing.
Which, again... We look at how politically connected he was.
The question was, was that orchestrated?
Either way, they're using that.
Were they orchestrated or whether it just happens out of incompetence or criminal behavior?
They will use it to push their agenda, and that's what they're doing right now.
So they really escalated in the last couple of months their war on crypto.
No doubt about it.
J.P. Morgan Chase has also opened lines of credit to several of the most at-risk banks last week.
Zero Hedge pointed out this would make J.P. Morgan Chase the smaller bank's biggest creditor.
Catherine Austin Fitz said J.P. Morgan Chase is a paradigmatic example of how these banks work.
She said it is, quote, a bank that has a fundamentally criminal business model.
How many times has Jamie demon, that's what, uh, I can't remember his name.
Anyway, the guy who died in a Spanish prison, help me.
McAfee, thank you. Or at least, you know, there's a question about that anyway.
But John McAfee.
I used to always call him Jamie Demon when I would have him on.
Instead of Diamond. The emphasis is on the wrong syllable there, maybe.
Maybe it is Demon. Anyway, She said it's a fundamentally criminal business model.
He's fundamentally a criminal. He's had, I think, nine convictions or something.
I mean, HSBC has only been convicted three times as an institution.
The Solari Report released a report in June 2022 talking about how J.P. Morgan had paid at least $42 billion in court settlements for criminal activity.
And she said they're going to get everybody to want this CBDC. And the way they're going to do it is by allowing banks to go under one by one While at the same time consolidating all of these small banks into the big banks.
And those big banks are the Federal Reserve, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase.
So as these banks fail, they set up a bond trap for them.
And yes, if they were wise, they could have manipulated these bonds by keeping the bonds at zero for quite a while and everybody's buying into them and nobody's taking out any loans because Trump has shut down the economy.
Now the interest rates start going up very, very rapidly.
That's one of the reasons why I think they pulled it up so rapidly.
You go back and you look at 2007-2008, that bubble burst because they were going up 25 basis points like every month, okay?
And until they popped it.
This time they start making, you know, 75, 75, 75.
25. They go up so fast, it's hard for these banks to extricate themselves from these rapidly increasing interest rates after they have bought into the treasury bills because that's the only place they could put their money.
They had to put it somewhere to earn money.
And so people are putting their money in the bank.
They have to now loan it out, but nobody's taking any loans out, so they buy treasury bills.
And the Federal Reserve has got them in a trap.
No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.
My name is Bond.
Federal Bond. They've got them in bondage, don't they?
They've got them strapped down to the table and you've got Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell monologuing like some super villain, like Klaus Schwab or something.
Anyway, that's how they got them.
And even the people who were doing more responsible management, it's a difficult thing for them.
And now it's been compounded because of all the fear.
And now, you know, people moving all this to the big banks.
She says, you know, banks like Citibank and JPMorgan Chase are the shareholders of the Federal Reserve, and it would be their currency, the CBDC currency.
She said, the pandemic killed a lot of small businesses, and it looks to me like this situation, there's an effort to kill the small banks.
Which, you know, if that succeeds, we're in real trouble.
And that's why it's very important.
I hope that there's going to be some traction with what Senator Nicely is trying to do in terms of trying to get a publicly owned state bank, and there's some other states that are also looking at that as we're talking about efforts to try to do something with the Universal Commercial Code, the UCC, to try to block the CBDCs.
It's very important that we also do proactive things.
And, you know, if you have a state bank, and I love what he called it, because the small banks, the medium-sized banks, they see a publicly owned state bank as competition, and it's not.
If you go back and you look at the 100 years worth of history, a little bit more than that, that you have of a public state bank, the only one that we've got in North Dakota, the small and medium-sized banks did very, very well there.
And they have, in terms of per capita, they have five and a half times more small and medium-sized banks than the U.S. average.
And they're 50% higher than the number two state in terms of concentration of banks.
You have to have decentralization.
Decentralization is healthy for the state economy.
And even if all this stuff didn't blow up, but, you know, it's already happening now.
But even if all this stuff didn't blow up, if you had that, that's a positive for people, even if times are not economically troubled.
But it is very effective to have something that is positive and decentralized as an alternative from that.
And so, you know, in talking to people, you know, he realized these small banks just don't get it.
You start talking about a Tennessee State Bank, and they're, oh, I don't know.
It's even more competition.
No, it's just the opposite. So he said, I got the idea.
We'll call it a Tennessee State Bank.
Reserve System. So you've got the Federal Reserve System.
They understand that. Tennessee Reserve System is going to work essentially the same way, right?
It'll buy their secondary mortgages.
It'll help them with their situation in a way that's not going to centralize it all into the Federal Reserve or the handful of too-big-to-fail banks.
So Jamie Deeman told congressional leaders that the Federal Reserve would not be able to manage a CBDC itself, but they would need intermediaries like existing banks.
Like me, he said.
So you see, I said this from the very beginning, these big banks are in it with the Federal Reserve deeply.
They know that if they help the Federal Reserve, That there's going to be a stake for them.
There are going to be stakeholders in what is coming.
And he's said that out loud.
Catherine Austin Fitz has long argued that people are not helpless.
In the face of this CBDC rollout, she said it's important to recognize that there's a great deal that each one of us can do in action.
In a highly leveraged financial system such as we have, a single individual counts a lot.
She suggested 10 practical steps that people can take every day, including things like using cash.
Catherine Austin-Fitz has been for quite some time an ardent supporter of Everybody using cash on Friday, for example.
Make sure that you use it one day a week.
Just everything you buy, you're going to buy with cash.
Because we've got to keep the businesses, you know, we've got to make sure the businesses don't get so accustomed to doing plastic that they don't even want to take cash anymore.
And that is already starting to happen.
And we've seen that happen in several countries in Scandinavia.
We've seen it happen in Norway.
We've seen it happen to a lesser Norway, especially only about 4% of the transactions are cash.
Banks are not giving people cash.
Stores don't want to deal with cash.
So she also advocates using analog systems as much as possible, avoiding biometric data collection and QR code.
She said in a perfect system, we would have digital assets and we would also have analog assets.
I'm a big proponent of cash because you want to balance between digital and analog.
Anything digital can be controlled and will be controlled.
That's why they want to make it digital.
So every time you talk about smart this or smart that, that's for dumb slaves.
Fitz also recommends asking your state legislators to start a sovereign state bank that protects the right to free financial transactions.
He recommends people demand financial institutions like the Federal Reserve Bank of New York be held accountable.
Well, absolutely.
Meanwhile, Musk went on Twitter, Saying, you've got to guarantee all bank deposits or we're going to have more bank runs.
And as I said, Yellen has been going back and forth and back and forth.
But of course, they can use that as well if they guarantee all bank deposits.
And in one way, at that point in time, they have effectively nationalized the banks.
This is one of the reasons why we've got to create these state banks as a separate system.
To try to get people out of this Federal Reserve System.
If we don't, I think our goose is cooked when it comes to this stuff here.
Because that is the trap.
It has been. It is this massive black hole.
You can think of it as a black hole.
You can think of it as an octopus with tentacles into everything.
So, as one person sums it up, Yellen going back and forth and back and forth.
He said, yesterday... Yellen made reassuring comments that led to the market and to depositors, led them to believe that all deposits were now implicitly guaranteed.
But now this afternoon, which is yesterday afternoon, she walked all that back.
She walked back all of yesterday's implicit support for small banks and depositors, while making it explicit that system-wide deposit guarantees were not being considered.
So we've gone from implicit support for depositors to an explicit statement that no guarantee is being considered with rates now being raised to 5%.
And that's the rate that the Fed deals with the banks on.
And so the ex-vice president of Lehman Brothers says that he thinks another 50 U.S. banks are about to fail.
Interestingly enough, I thought this was an odd thing.
I just realized that the CEO of Credit Suisse, the big bank in Switzerland that just failed, the CEO of that bank is named Lehman.
I don't know if he's one of the bros or not.
I don't know if he's one of the brothers or not.
The collapse of Lehman Brothers, which caused funding markets to seize up and made it hard for global lenders to get a hold of U.S. dollars, marked the beginning of the global financial crisis in 2008.
The former executive of Lehman Brothers, Lawrence McDonald is his name, He added that U.S. regional banks are expected to lose hundreds of billions of dollars with these funds inevitably moving to larger lenders and then to treasury bonds.
So it goes to the big banks and then it goes to the Federal Reserve.
He says they seem to be smoking in a dynamite shed.
That's the amazing thing.
They've been smoking in a dynamite shed for quite a while and everybody's surprised that it's taken this long for things to really blow up.
He said 10 days ago, Powell on Capitol Hill told us that the banking system was okay.
He either lied or he did not understand what he was doing, said the former banker.
According to him, he said the Fed will have to cut rates and then have a deposit guarantee, a larger one.
He said that's what they're going to have to come up with.
That's a bailout. That's basically the federal government taking on bank deposit risk.
Well, he's saying that they have to do that in order to save the economy.
But what if their intention is for the economy to burn down?
Well, they can just keep on going in the direction that they're going if they want the economy to burn down.
If they want to collapse, if they want to collapse the economy, they'll just keep the course.
And, of course, they can always plead incompetence.
And so even this bank that they've been focused on trying to save, which was in much worse condition than these other banks that failed.
And again, going back to Silvergate, that crypto bank, they didn't have to pay any pennies, not a penny to any of the depositors.
There was enough money in the bank to cover everything.
They voluntarily shut down or were coerced into shutting down, as I've said.
That is the... Building 7 of this financial collapse is Silvergate, telling you that this is about crypto, and that tells you that it's about CBDC. So their shares are plunging as their restructuring plans are fizzling, not going too well for First Republic.
Another 50 that apparently are there.
One expert says Switzerland is now risking becoming a financial banana republic.
They're going to turn into a mall.
The country will now be viewed as a financial banana republic.
He said the Credit Suisse debacle will have serious ramifications for other Swiss financial institutions.
A countrywide reputation with prudent financial management, sound regulatory oversight, and And frankly, for being somewhat dour and boring regarding investments, has now been wiped away.
Well, Switzerland has been transformed.
I mean, they have given up on so much of their independence and freedom.
That used to be what characterized them, as well as responsible fiscal policies.
Central banks are out of ammunition.
No choice but to let their currencies burn, says John Rubino.
And just like that, the type money era is over.
And so the question is, are they going to just let their currencies, everybody is assuming that they're going to do whatever it takes to keep the country from going into a deep recession or depression.
But if they would try, if their interest is in preserving their currency more than the economy, maybe they will keep doing what they're currently doing.
We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back.
����
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
Yeah, the Huntley Brinkley Report.
That was their theme song.
I play that because a lot of reasons.
I was looking for a good excuse to play some really good music.
And, of course, that's excellent music.
That was the Berlin Philharmonic with Herbert von Carrion.
Did you notice that he had his eyes closed as he's conducting that?
He always conducted everything.
He had a vast repertoire that he had.
Unbelievably complex pieces, scores with all these different parts coming in.
He did them all from memory with his eyes closed so he could focus on it and think about it.
He was legendary, just as Beethoven was legendary in Germany.
He was a rock star.
I mean, literally was a rock star for the people in Germany.
They liked serious music and so much so that the Porsche gave him his own custom car.
He said he's like a rock star.
And when Sony created the format for the compact discs, the CDs, they went to Herbert Von Carrion and they said, so how long should we, you know, they were trying to figure out what size they're going to make it and how much they're going to pack into it.
And the reason that the CDs are the size that they are was because they asked him, they said, well, you know, how much, you know, how long should we make it?
They went to Herbert von Carrion because of his reputation.
And he said, well, I've always wanted to be able to put Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on something and not have to stop it in the middle and flip the disc over.
And so he said, that's about an hour, whatever it was, that it took him to the tempo that he would take Beethoven.
And so they said, okay, well, we'll set up to hold Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at the pace that you do it.
And that's how we got the compact disc format that we have there.
But truly, he was an amazing conductor.
But the reason I play that as well...
It's because of DNA from Beethoven's hair.
And let me just say, I showed the clips there from the Huntley Brinkley Report.
That's kind of a special memory for me as a kid.
I was very, very young. They used that third movement from Beethoven's Night Symphony.
They used that as, I think it's third, maybe it's the second.
I'm scared so. I can't remember that.
But anyway, they used that as their theme song.
And when I was a kid, you know, my sisters would be listening to Motown and Elvis and my parents would be listening to Bing Crosby and Perry Como, you know.
And then this comes on the television set.
It's Beethoven. It's like, whoa, what's that?
Got me watching news.
Symphony No. 9, Second Movement.
It's a second movement. Okay.
Yeah, I don't know why I said third movement.
Anyway, Scherzo.
And so they would play that as their theme song coming in, Huntley Brinkley Report.
And so early interest in news because of that.
Of course, I also did like a great deal the Lone Ranger theme.
That was always really good. But the thing is, the Lone Ranger theme, that was a lot of visuals with it.
You know, he's riding the horse really fast with Tonto and all the rest of his stuff.
But, you know, there was no exciting visuals with the Huntley-Brinkley report.
It was all the music that brought it in.
So, you know, Beethoven, people have always struggled with health.
He went deaf early.
And so some people got a hold of his DNA, right?
To try to figure out what his health issues were.
And they found that he had a heightened genetic risk for liver disease and hepatitis B infection.
And it was kind of an interesting story because there are a lot of people that had collected strands of Beethoven's hair and had passed it down as a heirloom.
They made a lot of money selling Beethoven's hair back and forth.
DNA strands from Beethoven's hair is helping to uncover what may have caused his death.
Plagued with health issues for most of his life, he succumbed to what many historians suspect was liver failure.
His career was cut short by progressive hearing loss, Well, actually, not really cut short.
He wrote the Knight Symphony and was there.
When it was performed, they had to turn him around so that he could see the audience applauding.
That's the thing that's even more amazing is that he could do this stuff when he was deaf.
He heard it all. Anyway, it left the composer completely deaf by the age of 45.
He also suffered from gastrointestinal issues and a deteriorating liver.
That faulty organ is thought to be responsible for his skin turning yellow in the summer of 1821, six years before he died.
They don't say if it turned back or not.
I don't know if it still stayed that way.
Only a few historical figures, such as Richard III, a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse, that guy, you know, have had their DNA analyzed.
But what they did was they went through and they found, again, some of these samples of hair.
The bad news is for one of these investors who thought that they had a valuable snippet of Beethoven's hair, it turns out that it belonged to a woman who had ancestry consistent with Ashkenazi Jews.
So definitely is not Beethoven's hair.
They just got a big zero on their investment there.
But five of the locks, which came from various sources, clearly belonged to a single individual, With Central European ancestry, which Beethoven would have had.
And they did that because they said, you know, one lock of hair was not enough for DNA analysis.
And they didn't destroy the locks of hair.
They went to the owners of...
They said there's about 30 of them.
30 different separate locks of Beethoven's hair that are floating out there.
And so they were able to get several of them to part with a single strand of hair.
They said two locks Could not have come from the composer, the one that belonged to the lady.
And they said five of the locks, however, did seem to match up.
So when they did the analysis on that, again, they found that he had a hereditary disease.
They found that he also had suffered from hepatitis.
They said our primary goal was to shed some light on his health problems, specifically his hearing loss.
He was deaf by 1818.
But they still don't know anything about that.
What happened with that? Primary cause of the hearing loss has never been known, not even to his personal physician.
What began as tinnitus in his 20s slowly gave way to a reduced tolerance for loud noise.
Interesting, because it's one of the things that was a hallmark of Beethoven.
You know, he's kind of this transition between classical and romantic period and, you know, think Mozart, okay?
Beethoven, the explosive sounds that he had, you know, the timpani and all the rest of this stuff.
Interesting that we'd write that when he was having reduced tolerance for loud noise and eventually a hearing loss in the higher pitches, which effectively ended his career as a performing artist because he did do a lot of performances on piano.
But then he became a composer, and I guess subsequent generations benefited more from that.
A lot of live performances, that all of course would have been lost, but now we have his, you know, the hearing loss made him focus strictly on composing.
So anyway, he admitted that he was hopelessly afflicted, even to the point of contemplating suicide, but he died from liver issues, they believe.
And so they still don't know why he went deaf, but they found something else that was interesting.
Further investigation into his DNA showed that the Y chromosome in the hair samples of those of modern relatives descending from Beethoven's paternal line of point were a mismatch.
Seems that there was a bit of extramarital hanky-panky happening in the generations leading up to the composer's birth.
Some stormy stuff going on.
This finding suggests an extra pair paternity event in his paternal line between the conception of his father...
And, or his brother, rather, Hendrik, and the conception of Ludwig.
And so, anyway, it looks like, you know, there was something disrupting the family's continuity there.
So that was the other unexpected thing they found.
So the one thing they were looking for, a clue as to why he went deaf, they did not find.
But when we look at, I just lost my place here on this thing.
Stay with me. I'll be right back.
I guess you could say the lock wasn't key.
It's not the key to finding out why you're getting here.
That's right. Good. So, I talked yesterday about Poland and how one of their ministers was saying, well, if Ukraine can't get it done, we'll just go in.
We'll fight the Russians.
And I said, this is how insane all of this has become.
And yet, Poland...
Still, they're not importing a lot of stuff from Russia.
They're exporting even more to Russia than they ever did.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, this article from Zero Hedge, What War?
Poland is still doing 4.7 billion euros in business with Russia.
And it is the third biggest exporter to Russia and Europe.
And yet they are rattling the saber again.
More than anybody. And they've been criticizing Hungary, as I pointed out yesterday.
I said, look, Hungary says we're not going to give any weapons.
We're not going to try to stop other people.
They can do what they want. We're not going to be involved in this.
And Poland is saying, we're going to be involved in it.
If the Ukrainians can't beat the Russians, we'll go in and beat the Russians.
Meanwhile, they're making lots of money trading with the Russians, ignoring the sanctions and all the rest of the stuff.
The total value of Polish exports.
To Russia was 4.7 billion euros.
That means that Poland was the third biggest EU exporter to Russia.
Only Germany and Italy exported more.
Polish exports to Russia are dominated by industrial products and things like pharmaceuticals.
Oh, isn't that great? Well, I guess that is a kind of war.
You know, if you hate the Russians, you'd send them pharmaceuticals to kill them.
But it's actually, all of their exports to Russia are up by 18%.
Over 2021. However, they are not buying from Russia.
Their imports fell by 61%.
So they've got a really nice balance of trade thing that's going on between them and Russia.
But again, being under the Soviet Union for so long, they are still very, very angry about all of that.
I had a listener send this to me because I talked about the Tennessee bill to nullify federal overreach in four different ways, whether it is by Congress's law, by a federal court decision, by an executive order, or by any other means, whether it is by a treaty, right?
They would nullify, they would have a formal process to go through nullification.
And so I was very excited.
I thought that was a great idea.
But unfortunately, this was sent to me by a listener and said that this was killed in committee.
While I was waiting for a return call earlier today, I watched the state and local government committee on PBS. Since I learned about nullification from watching you back in the day, because you're now in Tennessee, I thought you might want to see how Chairman Briggs shot this down, even though Senator Bolling explained nullification very effectively and thoroughly.
And I thought she did well, he said.
But it was shut down.
And I did find one article after this was sent to me talking about what was really going on with it.
It was introduced in the House.
And so it was shut down in the Senate committee.
And you've got to get a bill out of committee before the body can vote on it, right?
So federal court rulings are opinions.
They are not law, said Representative Bud Halsey.
So the Constitution is very specific and the framers painstakingly made sure that those pieces of government were separated.
You see, what we do right now is we do have nullification of laws and we have nullification of the regulations that come from the bureaucracy under the executive branch or even of executive orders.
All three of those can be nullified by the judicial side of things.
But of course, it's not just the division of power within the federal government, but there was also a division of power between the federal government, the states that had created the federal government, and we the people that created both the states and the federal government.
And so we the people, as well as the state governments, should be able to nullify anything that the federal government does, even if all three branches of the federal government agree that this is...
Something that should be done. We still have the constitutional authority to nullify it.
And so, unfortunately, it died in the Senate, the state Senate.
It failed to even get a second.
And as I said, you know, a couple of weeks ago, when I had a chance to speak to them, I watched this whole procedure, and they would have, that was a committee, a commerce committee.
And so you'd have people who would come in.
They were other senators, and they would come in, and they would have a commerce type of bill, something that would fall under their purview.
And they would go over the microphone, and they would talk about the bill and make the case for the bill.
And, of course, the people on the committee had already seen the bill, and so they would then have a vote and see if they could get a second.
And the whole time we were there, which was, I don't know, an hour, hour and a half or something like that, There's bill after bill that was coming up.
Every single one of them, well, there was one, that he said, well, you know, that's a little bit vague.
Don't you think you need to work with that a little bit more?
And have you consulted these other people that it's going to affect?
No, well, maybe you ought to do that.
And so, yeah, I think you're right. We'll do that.
That was the only time that I saw something like that.
Pretty much every one of these many, many, many bills that went through, they just went straight through.
To actually nullify stuff, I did not make it through that committee, the local government committee in the Senate.
Instead, Senator Richard Briggs of Knoxville, the committee chair, recommended sending it to a summer study for more research.
Send it to summer school.
I guess it fails, so it's got to go to summer school.
That's what used to happen when I was in school.
If you failed, you went to summer school.
States have always had that right to nullify, said Halsey, even if they just do it by ignoring it.
But that hasn't happened. So I thought, well, let's run a bill here that provides a way for it to happen.
And he says, take cannabis, for example.
Well, that's not actually his example.
That's the example of the writer.
No, it is his example.
I'm sorry. Cannabis.
Okay. If the federal government were to legalize it everywhere in the country, Halsey said the state could render that unconstitutional if this bill were to pass in the future.
That's kind of an interesting example because even though it is illegal, according to the federal government, it is legalized for either medical use and or recreational use in the vast majority of the states.
I think the current total is like 33 states or something.
And so that's a case of nullification right there.
To give people medical, even using cannabis, right?
That is illegal federally as well.
And so he said, you know, he gave the example of going the other way.
You know, if the federal government were to say that all cannabis is legal, we could still make it illegal in Tennessee.
And of course, that is true as well.
But it already stands as an example of nullification.
Now, a Democrat who criticized this, John Ray Clemens was on the committee out of Nashville.
He said, nullification is a dangerous game.
It harkens back to slavery in pre-Civil War times.
No, not at all.
As a matter of fact, nullification is the...
The appropriate pressure relief valve so that you don't go into secession, right?
If you shut down the ability to do nullification, that's when you have secession.
And of course, secession doesn't need to result in war.
You've had, as I mentioned many times, you've had peaceful secessions in Scandinavian countries over and over again.
Those several countries, we talk about Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, they've had various combinations of those states at one time or the other.
They've broken up. They've recombined.
They've broken those up.
You know, all these types of things.
They never had a war over that.
You don't have to have a war for people to have self-government.
That is only if the government wants to deny self-governance to people do you have a war.
We had to have a war with the American Revolution.
That was over secession.
The Civil War was a war over secession, or depending on your perspective, it was the Second War of Independence, which we lost.
And I say we, all America lost.
I mean, even when you look at the American Revolution, Churchill and his history, He said that when the American Revolution was successful, he said it liberated the UK as well.
It helped to break the power of the king, the centralized power of the king, and helped to empower parliament because there were a lot of people.
In Parliament who supported America's independence.
And so, you know, the American Revolution helped to free the UK, helped to give them a more parliamentary, more representative, less centralized government.
And it would have been a win for everybody if it had gone the other way, because slavery was going to disappear anyway.
It was already... They had already stopped bringing in new slaves and it was going to disappear one way or the other.
Nevertheless, going back to this, it's not about civil war.
Nullification is a pressure relief valve, and it's already been applied, and you've got people saying we're going to nullify the federal government's policy, whether it's talking about immigration or in some of the liberal states, or whether it's talking about marijuana use in some of the liberal states, or whether it's talking about gun control in some of the more conservative states.
Everybody's talking about nullifying what the government is doing, and that's constitutional.
Also, he mentioned that the governor's office in Tennessee had flagged his bill because it could put Tennessee at risk of losing federal dollars.
But he argued that it would be worth it.
Now, it's kind of interesting because there's other bills that they have in terms of males and female locker rooms and stuff like that, schools, and that could cost Tennessee billions of dollars.
But they appear to be willing to make that trade-off.
We'll have to see what happens with it.
I hope that they can't be bought off like they can be bought off of this constitutional mechanism.
He said, I didn't swear to the people, this is what Halsey said, Bud Halsey, I didn't swear to the people in my district and state that I'd do all I could to rake in federal money or to accept whatever tyranny comes out of Washington in exchange for money.
Good for him. Good for him.
That's exactly right. We need to have more people like that.
He said, that's not what I said.
He said, I said that I'm going to stand up for our liberty and freedom.
So again, this Democrat, his name is Clemens, blasted the concept, saying it would be a step back for the state.
Nullification is something that's simply not going to be allowed.
It'd be a waste of our time and beneath the dignity of this state to even suggest such legislation.
Well, it's not somebody to point out to that Democrat what's going on with marijuana.
Again, we look at why you might want to have that there.
The ATF has now escalated.
Every day, something else comes out about Biden weaponizing the ATF. Giving them a massive increase in their budget, hire more agents, telling them to have a policy of zero tolerance.
If you can find one little paperwork mistake from a gun store, you shut them down.
You don't give them a fine, you shut them down.
And now he wants to use the ATF to say that if anybody sells a single gun for a profit, We're going to consider you to be a gun dealer yourself, and you better have a federal firearm license to do that, and you better be reporting everything that you do to the federal government.
This is how dangerous it is, and this is why we do need to have nullification of the federal government.
He has issued a warning to firearm industry signaling no tolerance for anything that the ATF believes is a willful violation.
Of course, that's very subjective. Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for Northern District of Texas ruled that the ATF could no longer enforce the ghost gun rule on firearm kit maker defense distributed.
So this is another one of the areas where Biden is trying to impose gun control.
That was nullified by a judge.
Nullification is fine.
And we need to follow the Constitution and allow other entities besides the judges to nullify laws.
And so, again, I should try to get Bud Halsey on to talk about that.
Maybe we could build some momentum of that.
Before the summer, if they're going to reconsider it then.
The EU is already caving on its ban of internal combustion engines in 2035.
But not really for all of us.
They're caving on the ban for everybody but the elite.
And we've always known that's going to be the case.
Eric Peters and I have been saying this for a long time.
Yeah, they'll still have internal combustion engines, and there'll be a few people who can afford these multi-million dollar hypercars that they're building out there, and they'll be able to afford the special fuel to run on them.
This is Porsche, Lamborghini, and they have worked very hard for their respective governments, the German government and the Italian government, to put pressure on the EU to allow them To use e-fuels.
And the whole idea about the e-fuel is that it's supposed to be carbon neutral.
I mean, they've already established this nonsense, and it is absolute nonsense, this carbon credit thing, exchanging stuff and saying, well, okay, we'll let you continue to do business the way that you're doing it, whatever you're manufacturing or whatever, but now you're going to have to pay a carbon tax to some company that is going to Plant a tree or something.
And North American House Hippo.
I thought he was joking when he put up his thing.
He's actually got a website. He sent that to me.
He goes, no, it's no joke. He goes, I don't know what will happen with this thing.
But I was talking about the fact that there was some company called, I think it was South Pole.
I don't think they were North Pole because that would kind of imply Santa Claus.
And this whole thing is about as realistic as Santa Claus.
But... It was this company that got caught, you know, scamming people on these climate things.
But, you know, the idea being that you're going to put out some pollution somewhere, and then somebody else is going to do something somewhere else that's going to be real nice and green, and it's going to cancel those things out.
And so that's the idea behind these e-fuels.
They said, we're going to go down to this special place, the tip of South America, where the wind blows all the time, and we'll get all the electricity from the wind.
And then we'll use that and we'll take carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere because it is in the atmosphere.
It doesn't have to be put there by things that we burn.
But we'll take carbon dioxide and we'll go through this manufacturing process and it'll all be energized by wind energy and it will turn that carbon dioxide into a carbon fuel Which we can then put in our cars.
And yes, when we burn it, it will put out exhaust, just like gasoline would.
But, you know, we already captured that in order to make the fuel.
So it's neutral. Under that kind of logic, they should be able to do it.
The problem is, is that it's so unbelievably expensive because it is this, you know, bespoke way of doing it and all the rest.
Nonsense. It's absolute nonsense.
But the elite will be able to buy their...
Ferraris and their Porsches and their e-fuels.
And so I guess everything's okay.
The rest of us will go without even having a car, I guess.
The plan proposes including a fueling inducement system, which would prevent vehicles from starting if they weren't running on carbon neutral fuels.
And the comment from Zero H says, well, we're sure that won't be cost prohibitive at all.
No, it's only going to be the very, very wealthy, you know, the Bill Gates's, you know, the Al Gore's.
They'll have their private jets.
They'll have their hypercars.
They'll have their e-fuel. But you won't.
Most importantly, the legislation would allow legacy auto manufacturers to keep selling combustion engines after the 2035 proposed mandate, perhaps offering some relief for companies in the midst of transitioning their business model.
No, no.
Well, it will for those two.
But, yeah, we talk about the band-aid.
You know, it's like a band-aid is what it really is.
It's not even a real problem.
California farmers are saying we've lost everything, billions of dollars in food, lost in floods, in a state that produces half of America's agriculture.
Well, it's going to be a shock to the food system.
That is there from healthimpact.com.
And he's got some stats here.
California's top 10 agricultural commodities.
Over a third of the country's vegetables.
Three quarters of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California.
I thought all the fruits and nuts came from California.
They're all from Nancy Pelosi's district.
It is not over yet.
As the rains continue, record amounts of snow in the Sierra Mountains still need to melt.
Record amount of snow in the Sierra Nevadas.
That's amazing. You know, that's the place we had the Donner Pass, right?
And they get an unbelievable amount of stuff.
When the boys were little, they were so little that we had to hold them in front of us.
But we had a timeshare there one year for vacation.
And it was just before Thanksgiving.
And we went on snowmobiles and carried the kids in front of us on snowmobiles.
And one of them's shoe fell off.
And it was a disaster. We'd gone everywhere trying to find their shoe.
But we got out of there.
And right after we got out before Thanksgiving...
And it would have been a big problem because we had a business at the time.
We would have been snowed and stuck there for over a week.
We got out just before the snowstorm hit.
They had people who died who were out doing things like snowmobiling.
And this thing came up very heavy and fast.
But nobody could get out of there.
It was amazing. And so this is a record amount in the Sierra Nevada's.
Kern County, just south of Tulare County, is the nation's number one county in agricultural products.
Fresno, just to the north, is the third largest producer of agriculture.
Monterey County is the fourth largest county in the U.S. in terms of agriculture production.
These people are getting flooded, so what's that going to do to food prices?
I'll just say one last thing before we take a quick break here.
This article here, scientists propose Mars settlers live in potato-based structures.
Look, I don't know if they're going to grow these potatoes there, but they say that they're able to make concrete out of the potato starch.
Well, maybe they want to make sure that they got something to eat.
But, you know, if you can grow, that's the thing I'm more interested in.
If you were someplace like Mars, what would you do for food?
You know, potatoes are pretty easy to grow.
And I mention that because, you know, if produce is, you know, we're going to have a disruption to the food supply or whatever, or massive increases in it, you know, grow potatoes.
You can even grow them in Mars.
You can definitely have a green thumb.
You can go to the Red Planet and still grow potatoes.
I guess that gives all new meaning to Spudnik.
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.
It is, however, not nearly so abstract as a young gentleman supposes.
The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
I love you.
I love you.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Alright, let's talk about the thing that seems to be distracting everybody from any concerns about liberty that is under threat from CBDC. Seems to be distracting anybody from paying any attention to the real issue, the real bioweapon, and that is President Trump's Manhattan melodrama.
And things got very melodramatic yesterday.
You had, just like Janet Yellen, going back and forth as to whether or not they're going to do anything to help small and medium banks or whatever.
You had people who were following this Trump thing saying, well, we've got some 100% exculpatory notes.
And look at this. We have the Soros DA in Manhattan told the grand jury not to come today.
So is he calling the whole thing off?
Has he finally realized that he doesn't have a case?
Well, no. Then we saw that the grand jury was going to be coming back on Thursday.
So what is all this stuff about?
Is it Donald triumphant or is he still Donald Trump?
There's no rule against running for president while facing criminal charges or even post-conviction.
As a matter of fact, Alan Dershowitz has been going around the talk show circuit telling everybody, you know, he could serve as president in prison.
Wouldn't that be ironic? Donald Trump, the guy who locked everybody down in 2020, his last year of the presidency, he put all of us in lockdown, which is a jail term, right?
Lockdown was something that used to only be done to jails.
Then they started applying it as a term to schools because, you know, schools are so much like a prison.
As a matter of fact, one of my friends, he went to West Point.
When he came home, we'd go around, and I'd introduce him to other people that I'd met in college, and I'd say, yeah, the two of us were incarcerated in a state institution for three years together.
Yeah. I guess that's why I always viewed high school as a prison.
And it's like, shut up, stop saying that, you know?
So anyway, but I always thought it was interesting that they would use that same term for schools that they always use for prison, lockdown.
And then they made the whole world into a prison with lockdown.
And it was Trump who did that.
It was Trump who locked us down.
So wouldn't it be appropriate if he did his second term behind bars?
That would at least be a little bit of, I don't know, satisfaction to see him behind bars.
For whatever reason, I don't care.
Put him there. I mean, he needs to be hauled away by The Hague and tried as a war criminal, crimes against humanity.
And I'm serious about that.
I seriously believe that he and these other people, Trudeau, Jabsinda Arden in New Zealand, Gladys Berejiklian in Australia, just every country, doesn't matter what political party, what their philosophies were, they all betrayed us.
Boris Johnson, a lot of them, ought to be on trial.
But of course... There wouldn't be anybody to run the trial because all the government officials were complicit in this thing.
So they'd all be lined up and say, where's the prosecutor?
Well, he's guilty as well.
Anyway, back to continue their work today.
And it comes after the Manhattan DA, Bragg, instructed the members of the grand jury to stay home on Wednesday rather than reconvene as planned.
So this whole thing has been very mysterious, very secret.
On Monday, the grand jury, which had, according to multiple sources, been prepared as of Friday to issue an indictment decision as early as this week, They heard from a Trump ally, Robert Costello, who sought to discredit the key witness, Michael Cohen. Some people said, if Michael Cohen is your star witness, you've got big problems.
But, you know, they're all kind of in that situation as well.
Sources say an indictment of former President Trump could happen as early as Wednesday next week, if it happens at all.
So, who knows what's going to happen?
Because, you know, Trump was...
Fundraising, telling everybody on Saturday, last Saturday, that he was going to be arrested on Tuesday.
His staff immediately came back and said, no, no, no, that's not true.
They knew that there wasn't any way that that was going to happen that quickly.
But what was it on the other side?
You know, a lot of people, as soon as it was announced that they weren't going to meet on Wednesday, you had the Trump press.
Jump into it and say, memos, this is from just the news, memos from 2018 to 2019 shake up the Trump case.
Cohen denied having incriminating evidence on hush money.
Everybody's saying, this is over.
This is it. A lawyer who formally advised Michael Cohen alleges that in 2018 the ex-Trump advisor claimed to know nothing about the former president committing wrongdoing, including hush money to women.
Because it's not just Stormy Daniels.
There were other women involved as well.
An attorney who advised disgraced Trump organization lawyer Michael Cohen provided Manhattan prosecutors with voluminous documentation, including contemporaneous emails and memos purporting to show that in 2018, Cohen wanted Trump to help cover his legal bills and repeatedly claimed that he had no evidence incriminating the former president in a hush money deal with porn actress Stormy Daniels.
So you understand the situation that he's in.
This is the situation where They're coming after Cohen because he's between them and Trump.
You know, Trump always says, I'm between you and them, right?
No, it's always the other way around.
Just ask the January 6th people.
Was Trump between them and the government at any point in time?
Then or now? Or in between?
No. No, they were the ones between government and Trump.
And they got in trouble because the government was coming after Trump, not the other way around.
And they stood in the gap.
And the same thing with Cohen. And so he's in a situation where he doesn't have the money to defend himself and he's hoping that he's going to get money from Donald Trump and that Rudy Giuliani is going to get this money to him.
So he's still, in 2018, playing the loyal card.
He's still loyal to Trump, hoping that Trump is going to help him.
Cohen said he had no information against Trump.
said one memo summarizing attorney Robert Costello's interactions with Cohen.
Costello is a former federal prosecutor who has represented famous clients like George Steinbrenner, Leona Helmsley, Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon.
He said he provided the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office with more than 300 pages of emails, memos, and texts Chronicling his dealings with Michael Cohen in 2018.
He said his document showed that Cohen took out a bank loan known as a HELOC on his own.
H-E-L-O-C. That's a home equity loan.
Home equity line of credit.
And so he was able to write checks.
So he mortgages his house.
He gets a line of credit on the home equity, and he's writing checks to these bimbos.
He said, Costello recalled, I didn't believe the information, but I knew that this was a situation that would cause embarrassment.
So I negotiated with his lawyer, and we worked out an NDA for the payment of $130,000.
And so Costello said, I said, did you get that money from Trump?
He said, no. Did you get it from any Trump organization?
No. So did you take that money out of your savings or checking?
He said, well, no.
He said, how'd you get the money then?
So he took out the home equity loan, a line of credit.
He said, well, why would you do that to cover something like this?
He said, oh, I want to keep it secret.
I took money from my account.
My wife, if I had taken it from my account, my wife would have known about it.
I didn't want my wife to know about it.
I didn't want Melania to know about it.
So I guess maybe the house is in his name only, you know, so that his wife doesn't see that, I guess.
That has to be the case. Otherwise, she'd have to sign on the loan, on the line of credit.
So he asked me to communicate with Rudy and have him tell Giuliani, have Giuliani tell the president that all of these stories about cooperating are BS, he said.
To tell him that he's not talking to reporters, he's not talking to friends, and these stories from sources are fiction.
So at that point in time, he's hurting for money to defend himself.
And so he's telling Robert Carcello, no, no, no, no, Trump is totally innocent, and you need to please tell that to Giuliani.
I don't know if Giuliani would have understood.
It was a really funny clip.
Giuliani has got...
A podcast. He does an hour podcast.
I don't know how frequently he does it.
But he has an hour podcast.
And I saw this clip.
I didn't play it because, you know, I don't like to, in general, make fun of people who are getting senile, you know, like Biden or Giuliani.
But, you know, I make exceptions for people I really dislike.
But I didn't play the clip.
Yeah. It was really funny because Giuliani is there and he's really showing his age.
Towards the end, it's an hour podcast and it's towards the end of the podcast and Giuliani is just kind of talking stream of consciousness, I guess.
I didn't watch the whole thing. Somebody had it there with an index to the point where he's saying this.
And Giuliani says, everybody's talking about Oscar.
Oscar this and Oscar that.
He goes, and he says to his producer, he goes, who is this Oscar guy?
The guy says, it's the Academy Award.
He's absolutely clueless as to what's going on.
I mean, Rudy Giuliani obviously has heard about the Oscars in the past, but absolutely does not know what's going on.
And... But, you know, he was the gatekeeper for Trump.
You remember I had that interview with John Kiriakou, who was the CIA whistleblower on the torture, you know, the lies about weapons of mass destruction.
That was a product of torture conducted by the CIA. He blew the whistle on that.
The person who covered it all up, Gina Haspel, Was promoted to head of CIA by Donald Trump.
But anyway, he wanted to get a pardon because they convicted him.
He's the only person who went to jail, the guy who blew the whistle on the torch.
All the torturers, the people who did the cover-up, the psychologists who have paid phenomenal amounts of money to train the CIA how to torture people, nothing ever happened to any of them.
The guy who blew the whistle went to jail.
He served his time.
He got out, but he still has a pension from his time there, and it was something like $900,000 or something.
And he wanted to get a pardon so that he could get that pension that he had earned for working for the CIA for a long period of time.
And so he met with Rudy Giuliani because Rudy Giuliani is the gatekeeper.
I always called him 9-11 Rudy because, you know, he was the guy who, you know, he was very, you know, just like Gina Haspel, was instrumental in the cover-up of torture so they could produce lies about weapons of mass destruction so they could produce the Iraq War.
Rudy Giuliani was the cover-up guy for the crime of 9-11.
Remove all the evidence real quickly and tell everybody, go back in there.
We've got to get this stuff out of there quick.
Tell them not to worry about masks.
Just work around the clock and Breathe that dust in, it's fine.
No problem at all. These are the people around Trump, by the way.
Just in case you want to know.
The person who was instrumental in the cover-up of 9-11.
Another person who was instrumental in the lies about weapons of mass destruction.
That got us into the Iraq War.
That tortured people. That covered up all that stuff.
So there's a big cover-up guy.
So anyway, John Kiriakou goes to him and says, I would like for you to present my case to the president.
And Rudy says, well, I've got to go to the bathroom.
And he gets up and leaves. And the two guys that are there with him says, it'll cost you a million dollars.
See, Rudy doesn't offer this directly.
John Kiriakou, being an honest guy and a whistleblower, He's not going to keep quiet about that either.
And so he says, I told him, I'm not going to pay a million.
I don't have a million dollars.
And I wouldn't pay a million dollars to get a $900,000 pension anyway.
So, you know, it didn't go through.
But Rudy was the gatekeeper.
And so Michael Cohen is trying to get, you know, telling Robert Costello, please tell Rudy, I'm not turning on Donald Trump.
I'm still loyal. Please cover my legal fees.
He acknowledged having contacts with Costello in an interview, Cohen did, but he suggested that the former federal prosecutor was, quote, making up stories to the grand jury and carrying out, quote, a typical Trump play, unquote.
Cohen also claimed that he did not believe that he had waived his attorney-client privilege from his conversations with Costello.
He says, I don't recall waiving anything, but again, this is, I don't know what he's talking about.
But one of the documents that Costello provided to just the news shows that Cohen signed a declaration in 2019 for federal prosecutors waiving any claim of privilege from his interactions with Costello.
If Michael Cohen is a lawyer, he's not a very good lawyer.
He says, although, quote, the declaration says in 2019...
Although I do not believe that any of my communications with Costello or other lawyers at DHC are subject to attorney-client privilege, I hereby waive whatever attorney-client or other privilege that might have arguably been attached to such communications.
Using Cohen as a witness would be the greatest gift to Trump, says Alan Dershowitz.
If they're smart, they'll try to work around Cohen.
They'll try to pick some other witness and maybe some other tapes.
But I don't think the prosecutor is going to put Cohen on the witness stand.
But you know the defense might.
They try to do that.
And so these are the kind of articles that you're seeing yesterday.
Zero Hedge says, totally exculpatory.
As people are looking at this, this letter of Cohen to the FEC could hobble the Manhattan DA's Trump case.
As Just the News said, if authentic, the document could indeed be exculpatory for Trump.
Trump's alleged falsification stems from his listing of a payment to Cohen as a legal fee, which some have suggested was reimbursement for Cohen's payment to Daniel's.
Trump's lawyer denies the record's inaccuracy and has contended the payments were made to a lawyer, not to Stormy Daniels.
The payments were made to Trump's lawyer, which would be considered legal fees.
Well, here's my opinion on it.
I mean, it's not a legal opinion.
But, you know, whether or not they catch him in this, this looks very much like what happened with Reagan that eventually turned into Iran-Contra.
And Reagan's, I think he was his campaign manager when he was running and became a CIA director, Bill Casey.
Wow, Bill Casey from the OSS and one of the, you know, seminal guys in the CIA. And you had the The situation of the Iranian hostages that happened.
And Bill Casey, learned this many years later, Bill Casey went to the Iranian leaders during the campaign and said, and worked out a deal with them.
Said, don't release these hostages until Reagan becomes president and we'll do something for you.
That's something. Was to give them spare parts and things like that for the U.S. fighter jets that the Shah of Iran had bought.
And then they took that money because it's like, well, okay, we're going to sell this to them secretly.
This is what Oliver North and the Iran-Contra stuff was about.
We're going to take that money that we get from this black market selling of parts to Iran.
And then we will, illegal, you know, and that was illegal because there were sanctions against them.
Then we'll take that illegal black money and we'll use it in an illegal way to fund the Contras in Nicaragua.
And that all happened.
And, you know, you know the history that they kept the hostages there throughout the election.
And it was this daily...
You know, drumming about the hostages there in Iran that more as much as the massive mess that Carter had made of the economy and is not having any ideas of what to do.
It was that hostage crisis as much as anything that caused him to lose the election.
And then on the day that Ronald Reagan takes office, they release the hostages.
And it's put out there by the conservative media.
Yeah, they know that Reagan is going to nuke that place if they don't turn over these hostages.
He's a tough guy. No, the whole thing was a scam at the back.
And they had to keep all that, you know, under the table until Reagan, well, they tried to keep it under the table forever because the whole thing was as corrupt as it could be.
But in this situation with Stormy Daniels and these other things, that broke the day after he made that comment about grabbing women by the genitals, that type of thing.
And so, Michael Cohen is saying that he was, you know, directed to do that.
That's what he's saying now. Of course, he said the other under oath and under letters.
So he's contradicting himself.
It's going to be difficult for them to do anything about.
But the reality is, is that he was not reimbursed for that until after Trump took office.
Now, like the Reagan thing.
And then what he did was he gave him The money back in 11 payments, I believe it was.
I think one of them was paid for by Junior, you know, baby Trump, Donald Trump Jr.
I think he signed one of those checks.
But they gave it to him over a period of time.
It's called structuring to avoid detection.
Very much like what you saw happening with the blackmailer of Dennis Hastert.
I mean, you just keep seeing these same patterns of behavior happening with these corrupt politicians.
But of course, you know, Trump did not get arrested on Tuesday, as he said he was going to be arrested.
He did not get arrested, but he did fleece supporters by pretending that he would be.
That is the article from Mediaite, which is a left-wing publication that absolutely hates Trump.
The Trump fundraising machine may be getting a boost.
Maybe? No, absolutely.
Thanks to massive attention given to his erroneous prediction that he would be arrested on Tuesday.
And even though his You know, when he said that on Saturday, his staff came out and said, well, we don't have any definite information about that.
He still used that to fundraise and make a ton of money.
And it really is amazingly similar to this whole Save America scam that he ran after the election, isn't it?
Except this time around, the Stop the Steal people, Alex and Roger and Ali Alexander, not jumping in on this thing.
You know, and he's even trying to set up another January the 6th type of thing.
You know, come protest, protest, protest.
Nevertheless, the conservative press is still riding his coattails on all of this.
But, you know, he told everybody, hey, they're going to kick me out, and we've got to stay in there forever, whatever it takes.
We've got to keep Biden out of the White House.
Send me your money, send me your money.
And the first $8,000 any individual gave, Went to Trump, who split it with the RNC. And any money that you gave over $8,000, that would go into the legal fund.
It's one of the reasons why I guess Rudy Giuliani was so upset that he wasn't getting paid.
The Trump for President 2024 campaign is compiling millions and millions of petition signatures from Americans like you, condemning these threats of a possible arrest, said an email that went out to his supporters.
Trump supporters who clicked on the petition link were led directly to, or still are, to Trump's official fundraising page where he asked for up to $3,300 to get him re-elected.
In addition, one targeted ad on Trump's Truth Social page is selling, quote, free Donald Trump commemorative gold bars.
Well, he needs to have some bars.
You can get those commemorative gold bars for $100.
I don't know how much gold is in those things or how small they are.
It must be really tiny little gold has gone up.
Anyway, another ad is promoting Trump t-shirts at no initial cost but mentions a $29.95 per month t-shirt membership in fine print.
Trump's lawyer hinted at the Trump fundraising boon in a recent interview.
He said Trump seems to turn everything into a positive and everything into a boost for his campaign.
According to reports, Trump had just $25 million in his campaign war chest at the beginning of this year, down from $105 million at the start of 2022.
Well, this is working out pretty well for him, isn't it?
I'm sure he would love to be pictured as some people around him told the Guardian.
They said he's saying that it's going to look weak if he does this over Zoom or something.
He wants to walk in there.
He wants to be perp-walked.
He wants to be photographed in handcuffs, and he'll fundraise off of all that stuff.
As a matter of fact, even as of Tuesday night, he was issuing a late-night appeal to supporters the day that he was supposed to have been arrested.
He now doubles down on sending some more money.
The video came days after Trump had warned that he'd be arrested that day.
And, of course, in the email, you'll be treated to the typical kinds of Trump rhetoric, like Stormy, horse-faced Daniel's extortion plot.
I thought she was a horse.
That's going to be his excuse, right?
Our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know we're the only ones who can stop them.
They're not coming after me.
They're coming after you.
I'm just standing in their way.
How many times is he going to use that line?
What a piece of filth.
Donald Trump is. Just amazing.
Tell that to the January Sixers, that he's standing between you and the other people.
And then this, from Vice Magazine.
Who had it worse, Trump or Jesus Christ?
Some of Donald Trump's supporters can't help but see similarities between the plight of their beloved former president, who's in hot water, for alleged schemes surrounding hush money to an adult film star.
They see a parallel in that to the suffering of Jesus Christ.
A lawyer, Joseph McBride, who is representing a handful of January the 6th defendants, posted this, Trump will be arrested during Lent.
A time of suffering and purification for the followers of Jesus Christ.
As Christ was crucified and then rose again on the third day, so too will real Donald Trump.
Wow. Yeah, pick time of Easter to blasphemy.
When he faced pushback for complaining about comparing Trump's plight to Jesus' torture...
He doubled down. All uppercase.
Jesus loves Donald Trump.
Jesus died for Donald Trump.
Jesus lives inside Donald Trump.
Deal with it, he said.
Is Trump a disciple?
Now, what evidence do we have of Trump's discipleship?
There's not one day where he actually held a Bible.
Didn't open it, but he held it up.
Some kind of talisman or something, you know, after he did that other perp walk.
Now, Jesus said, if you're my disciple, keep my commandments, right?
What do you think Jesus would do about a mass murderer like Donald Trump with the jabs?
What do you think he would do?
What does the Bible say about people in positions of power who use it as a weapon against the poor and the powerless?
Yeah, God judges that.
That is not...
It's absolutely amazing to me to see this kind of idolatry.
And he wasn't the only one.
Rihanna Dilley, some MAGA person, said, Rome tried to silence a peaceful leader via political persecution and ended up creating the most pervasive and permanent religious figure in all of world history.
Is that what Jesus is to her?
That's all he is to her?
Good effing luck, she said, New York.
Yeah, that's a very Christian post there.
To the wicked, said another person, to the wicked who are plotting against Trump, who has committed no crime.
No crime? Mass murder?
No crime? Traitor to his country?
Who has been chosen and appointed by Jesus Christ for such a time as this?
Guess what? Pontius Pilate was appointed.
The Sanhedrin was appointed for such a time as it.
Judas was appointed.
He said, I chose the 12 of you and one of you is a devil.
They were chosen as well for their role.
What is Trump's role in all this?
Judas goat. So she says, may you fall into your own nets while President Trump escapes safely.
Yeah, quotes of Psalms on that.
Well, yeah, he definitely is a mediaite, which doesn't care for Trump either.
Says, making him a Christ-like figure, despite his crass language, his philandering, his scant evidence...
That he ever attended church before running for president.
I don't know of any evidence that he ever attended it after becoming president either.
Yeah, the people around him who have been grifting, you know, he's been surrounded by some of these, you know, big money pastors and stuff.
They're going to have to answer for not having a heart-to-heart talk with this guy.
I mean, they just taught me, go ahead.
They're not going to speak the truth to him.
The wounds of a friend are what this guy needs.
He doesn't have any friends around him.
That's where you feel sorry for Trump.
He has absolutely all these pastors like Robert Jeffries who was selling the Trump vaccine as well.
You know, Paula White and all these other pastors, quote-unquote, around him.
They won't speak the truth to him.
So, anyway, that's where we are, these people.
This is from you, Travis.
FDA gave clearance to sell cultivated meat, tumor meat.
Good meat yesterday, really.
Yeah, they really, okay.
Well, they've been talking about that for quite some time.
Some famous chef will be using their chicken in his restaurant.
There you go. Get a tumor T-bone right there.
Or a chicken cancer.
Because they have to use these cells that are eternal cells that replicate very, very quickly.
And that's what they're basing this stuff on.
But of course, they're not going to test it.
FDA doesn't test food anymore.
The FDA does a taste test of the cash.
They get a taste of corruption is what they get.
And so, as all this is happening, you've got Ethan Nordean.
And we've just had emails that have surfaced from Ethan Nordean because the government got his phone.
I guess he deleted these things or emails.
It was a tweet, I think, maybe.
They didn't get it from the archives, but they got it from his phone.
And it just got made public, what he wrote two years ago, after January the 6th.
He said, all right, I'm going to say it.
F Trump. F him more than Biden.
I've been following this guy for four years and given everything and lost it all, he said.
He's on trial right now with Joe Biggs.
January the 20th, 2021.
It was a post from a Telegram chat group.
That's why they had it.
It wasn't Twitter. It was a Telegram.
So they got it from his phone.
Yes, he woke us up, he said, but he led us to believe that some great justice was upon us and it never happened.
He said, now I've got some of my good friends and myself facing jail time because we followed this guy's lead and never questioned it.
We are now and always have been on our own, he said.
So glad he was able to pardon a bunch of degenerates as his last move and defecate on us on the way out.
F you, Trump, you left us on the battlefield bloody and alone, he said.
These postings were recovered by the FBI from Nordean's phone.
Following his arrest several days later, they initially appeared in court papers.
In May of 2021, they reappeared as evidence submitted by the prosecution before it rested its case.
And then the very next day, Trump's at it again.
Protest, protest, protest.
Take our nation back. Meanwhile, Trump called Bragg a corrupt lawbreaker.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, other Republican leaders, accused him of playing politics.
Roger Stone, who got a Trump pardon, Ramped up the looniness on social media.
This is Yahoo writing this.
I don't know who wrote the original story.
Roger Stone, the recipient of a Trump pardon, ramped up the looniness on True Social by announcing that, quote, pastors for Trump were joining in a call for prayer.
Roger Stone said, the war against Trump is a war against humanity.
I could not disagree more.
It's absolutely amazing to see this idolatry, this conflating of Trump with God, which is really what they're doing.
And remember, Roger Stone was recorded.
You've all seen the recording, I'm sure.
It was recorded by these people he had following him around doing a documentary.
Right after January the 6th, Roger Stone was FM, FM, FM, you know, and, you know, I'll do anything to make sure this guy loses.
Well, I'll tell you, you know, you can't trust what most of these people say in private.
Tucker Carlson's another one, right?
His emails got pulled out because of this Fox Dominion lawsuit.
And he says, I'm enraged that my private texts were pulled, he said.
Well, yeah, I understand that enragement.
But in one text exchange with a former Fox, a fellow Fox employee, Tucker Carlson said of Trump, I hate him passionately.
And he said, we're very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights.
I truly can't wait.
He said that on January the 4th, 2021.
However, Carlson sought to cast the president in a different light.
During a radio interview this week, He went on and he had an interview with Bo Snurdley.
And again, that's not his real name.
Bo Snurdley, as everybody knows, was Rush Limbaugh's call screener and producer.
And now he's got his own radio show.
And he interviewed Tucker.
Carlson said, oh, let's see.
I spent four years defending his policies, and I'm going to defend them again tonight.
And actually, and I'm pretty straightforward, I love Trump.
Like, as a person.
As a person?
Like, I can understand somebody, I defended Trump's policies when he was running as a candidate.
I thought he had some good policies.
Of course, he didn't follow through on them.
He pulled in personnel who were going to be adamantly opposed to everything he ran on, and personnel is policy.
And so that looked really awful from the very beginning.
Michael Flynn, who has now hitched himself to some kind of pseudo-religious revival with the reawakened America where he's going around having the rubes that attend that thing reciting prayers to ascended masters from Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
I'm not a Michael Flynn supporter, but Michael Flynn was horribly used by Trump at the beginning.
Immediately they come after him and Trump did nothing for him either.
And I even said to my producer at the time, I said, Trump demands total loyalty, but he has zero loyalty for anybody.
I said, it's the most disgusting thing.
So you want to say that you like Trump as a person?
Wow, that is pretty amazing.
And so... Bo Snerdly had asked him, he said, so what's the deal with you and Donald Trump?
Said Bo Snerdly. And Carlson celebrated being, quote, very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights.
He says, what's up with that? Carlson said, well, I thought then, and I think now that the election was not on the level, I don't think any election's ever been on the level, but you have to prove it.
And if the courts are not even going to give you a hearing, you take your case to the Republican legislatures.
There were four states at razor-thin margins.
The Republican legislatures could have sent a slate of electors.
They didn't even try to do that.
But anyway, so he said last August, prior to the publication of Carlson's text, the New York Times, Jeremy Peters reported that Carlson's private commentary is very different from what he says about Trump in public.
He said it benefits Carlson to be seen having photos taken with Trump at the golf course and everything.
Carlson told snurdily on Monday, he said, I always say what I think.
I can't keep track of too many lies.
You know what I mean? Again, I have seen these guys on the news.
That's why I have absolutely no, you know, I'll...
I'll say what I believe about these people, and I believe they're a bunch of hypocrites doing this for money.
They're lying to you.
They're misleading you. From Trump to Tucker Carlson to Alex to Roger to Ali Alexander to Steve Pachenik to all these people.
It's just amazing to me.
I've seen it from the inside.
Donald Trump, however, got a number one record on Billboard.
It's supposedly the J6 Prison Choir.
Is it really? I mean, I honestly can't imagine prisoners singing along with Trump on all this stuff.
It's a men's choir that is singing the Star-Spangled Banner, and then they have Donald Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
It sold 33,000 digital downloads from March 10th through the 16th.
It's called Justice for All.
And then it was pulled off of iTunes.
That's how dumbed down I am.
It's just amazing to me.
Even as a kid, I wasn't a big fan of the Pledge of Allegiance.
I was going to say a pledge to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
That's what we should be pledging to.
Not to a flag and to a government that doesn't follow the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
But they've pledged their allegiance to a man who is proud of his sin.
As proud of his sin as any transvestite.
