	Transcription by CastingWords You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 6th of April, year of our Lord 2023.
	Day 1,120 of the emergency.
	Well, today we're going to take a look at the announced candidacy of RFK Jr., I think we'll begin there, even though it's politics and even though there's a lot to talk about today.
	More information about vaccine deaths and As well as some very important results from last week we have in Tennessee.
	The Tennessee legislature is going to vote today as to whether or not to throw out these three Democrats who are in the House who are leading this thing and basically help with the mob to take things over.
	That's going to be interesting to see.
	But we'll be right back and talk about RFK Jr.
	your first.
	Stay with us.
	Well, he officially filed to run for president as a Democrat, RFK Jr.
	did. He'd been talking about exploring it for a while.
	And as you know, Gerald Salenti, and we won't have Gerald Salenti on tomorrow because we're going to be doing a rebroadcast, taking the day off.
	We've got a lot of really good interviews that we put together for that broadcast.
	I think you'll like it. So Gerald won't be on with us tomorrow, but...
	As we talked about this in the past, he was very excited about RFK Jr.
	running. He has...
	What I like about the fact...
	I'm not getting behind an individual.
	I like the fact that he's going to be running because he's going to be talking about issues.
	He's going to be talking, instead of name-calling, juvenile name-calling, dirty tricks, and all the rest of the stuff that you see from Biden and from Trump, instead of that kind of stuff, he's going to be talking about issues.
	And I'm not going to get behind anybody because I don't really know what his character is, other than the fact that he does believe that his father was murdered as a government conspiracy.
	He doesn't believe the Sirhan Sirhan thing.
	And so, and I've had Dr.
	Pepper on.
	I've had Dr. Pepper.
	Yes, I have had Dr. Pepper.
	I had a Dr.
	Pepper. I think his name was William Pepper, who has done investigations into that assassination, Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination.
	And they've had mock trials with juries, presented the evidence that was not allowed to be presented to people.
	And the juries agreed with him as well.
	But here's the key thing.
	Regardless of what you think happened with that, if you believe that your father was killed by government agents acting in conspiracy because they didn't want him to get elected as president, and you decide you're going to run anyway because there's some issues that you believe in passionately, I think that's a very interesting position.
	And like Ramaswamy, a young entrepreneur who is running and focusing on some issues.
	That's what I think is important.
	The interesting part about the presidential campaign, of course, is during the primaries.
	When you have multiple people, that's when you actually have a chance to possibly talk about issues.
	And the press never does, but a good candidate can switch it to that.
	And so we'll take a look at what he has had to say about some of the issues.
	He's weighed in on war and peace.
	He's weighed in on the vaccines.
	He's weighed in on CBDC as well, as free speech and censorship and other things like that.
	These are the issues that we need to be talking about.
	And his candidacy will force these other people to talk about it.
	And so I think it's a positive thing that he is running.
	Again, as I say, I don't support people.
	I support issues. And on most of these issues, he's right.
	Now, he began as an environmental lawyer.
	They all talk about that. You see, and I'll read you the headlines to show you the trend of how they're presenting his candidacy.
	This anti-vaxxer.
	Who public health experts and his family...
	That's the Huffington Post. Headline, anti-vaxxer to challenge Biden.
	And then the subtitle says, his anti-vax efforts have been called dangerous and misleading by both public health experts and members of his own family.
	Members of his own family are saying, hey, he's discouraging people from getting these vaccines.
	He's killing people. No, your vaccines were killing people.
	That's proven now.
	And so...
	But that is the take, and typically what they will preface that with.
	Well, you know, he was a Democrat, and he came from the Kennedy family, and he was an environmental lawyer.
	I mean, everything was looking really good, and then suddenly he started opposing vaccines because they were harming kids.
	He started opposing censorship and all the rest of this stuff.
	How did he go wrong? He could have been a great Democrat, but...
	He got hooked on this idea of preserving life and liberty somehow.
	I don't know. But anyway, like I said, there's, like anybody else, especially people in the Kennedy family, there are questions about his personal life.
	But let's focus on the issues.
	I'm sure those things will be brought up by Trump and by Biden.
	We don't even have to go there.
	That's the way they operate.
	They don't operate on issues.
	And so, again, I don't support and get behind anybody.
	I have supported DeSantis on issues, you know, and said, great, you know, they're stopping this for kids in a certain age group.
	Why not all of them?
	You know, they're stopping the grooming for kids K through 3.
	Why not all of them?
	All the minors. And so I would criticize him because he does just a little bit.
	You know, I'm sure he would say, well...
	You know, we do it from the inside and we do it iteratively, right?
	That's the way the Democrats do it.
	They do it bit by bit.
	And so you could say that maybe that's a smart political strategy.
	I don't think so, because if you look at what the response was, I don't see how he could have gotten any more pushback if he had protected all the kids.
	From pre-K to 12, from the LGBT grooming, he wouldn't have gotten any more pushback than he did by protecting kids in kindergarten and third grade.
	Disney and the rest of the corporations and the Democratic Party, they have absolutely no shame in terms of coming after kindergarten through third grade.
	I guess he figured, well, you know, they won't dare attack that.
	Oh yes, they do. And if you say, well, we're not going to give the vaccine to, you know, kids who obviously are not under any threat.
	And of course, nobody is under any threat.
	They can't, don't even try to make that case.
	Nobody was ever under any threat of the pandemic.
	We were under threat of medical malpractice.
	It was financially incentivized by Trump, bribing people to do this.
	Bribing the hospitals through Medicare and Medicaid.
	And the public health officials and the governors.
	But anyway, to go in and say, well, we're not going to recommend it for this age group and try to stop it at that point, you still get all that stuff.
	So again, if you believe in something, go all the way for it.
	I don't like this incrementalism.
	You know, a lot of people say politics is the art of compromise.
	No, I think compromise is cowardice, in my opinion.
	That's just me. That's my opinion.
	You may disagree with me, but that's my opinion.
	I think compromise is cowardice.
	If you believe something and you have some principles, go for it.
	Don't try to pull it back.
	First of all, you look weak.
	And you are weak if you do that.
	So, let's talk about RFK and the issues that he has put out.
	RFK Jr. files paperwork to run for president as a Democrat.
	Pretty neutral from CNN, and yet they take the same approach at the beginning of the article.
	Not in the headline, but at the beginning of the article.
	RFK Jr. is a long-time vaccine skeptic.
	He promoted discredited claims linking vaccines and autism and founded the anti-vaccine organization Children's Health Defense and on and on.
	Well, again, he has made it clear that he's not anti-vax.
	And this is one of the reasons that a lot of people criticize him.
	They say, well, you know, he's part of the safe vaccine movement.
	And when we talk about going a little bit but not going the whole way, I don't really think, because I've watched R.F.K. Jr., and he doesn't seem to pull punches on any of this stuff.
	So I think he really does believe that you can have safe and effective vaccines if you don't add things like aluminum to it and preservatives and formaldehyde and all the rest of it.
	You know, if you don't add all that kind of stuff, he thinks you can have safe vaccines.
	I don't agree. But that's my opinion.
	But if that's his opinion, and I think it is, you know, there's a lot of people who disagree with that.
	I don't think they've necessarily sold out.
	They could be wrong. But, again, he will...
	I'll play a clip for you in just a second.
	When he was walking out of his meeting with Donald Trump at Trump Tower, and they asked him, you know, what the meeting was about, what they talked about, and he...
	Points that out there as well.
	So that's how CNN begins it.
	The next paragraph, in 2019, three members of his family, his sister, his brother, his niece, forcefully denounced his anti-vaccine views in a Politico magazine op-ed, arguing that he was part of a misinformation campaign that is having heartbreaking and deadly consequences.
	No, he wasn't. The misinformation campaign...
	It was having heartbreaking and deadly consequences were being run by Fauci, then run by Trump.
	Trump gave $250 million to the Ad Council to run a misinformation campaign that was heartbreaking and had deadly consequences.
	It was also constitution-breaking.
	Anyway, Kennedy had tweeted last month that he was considering a presidential run.
	Looks like I can raise the money and mobilize enough people to win.
	I'll jump into the race, he said.
	And he later said...
	The biggest obstacle was to get my wife on board, and she's now given the okay, so I'm going to go with it.
	As an environmental lawyer, he worked with a group that led the Hudson River Cleanup.
	He also worked for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and he co-founded an environmental law firm.
	And this, you know, when Gerald was talking about it, I said, well, here's my problem with RFK Jr., I know that he began as an environmental lawyer.
	And, you know, that's the way the EPA began as well.
	The EPA then drifted into this green McMuffin.
	You know, using the environment as a way to implement the Great Reset and UN 2030 agenda.
	And I said, the same tactics for the green McMuffin were used for the germ McMuffin.
	And so, I think that, you know, the pandemic.
	And so...
	I'm concerned about that.
	Because even though he's good on the vaccine issue, and again, you know, whether you think that we ought to be absolutist about stopping all vaccines or not, look, it's effectively the same.
	The pharmaceutical companies don't care about safety.
	They've been given legal immunity.
	And they don't care about getting the adjuvants, the irritants that they put into the vaccines in order to trigger your immune system, which causes so much of the immune system damage.
	They don't care about that.
	They don't care about getting rid of the preservatives.
	They don't care about the other stuff. They don't care about putting biological agents in, genetic modifiers in.
	They don't care about any of that stuff.
	They don't have to. And I think that, you know, they've been told that.
	So, you know, the distinction between safe vaccines and no vaccines really doesn't matter because you're either going to block these vaccines that are designed to kill people.
	It isn't that they're sloppy.
	It isn't that, yeah, you know, we can make more money if we don't do any testing or do this other stuff.
	Yeah, they can make more money by getting it out sooner.
	But that isn't it.
	It really is that these things are designed to kill.
	And so they're going to keep doing that.
	They're designed to disable, they're designed to kill.
	So they're going to keep doing that.
	And so to quibble over whether somebody believes that vaccines could theoretically be made safe, but they won't do it, or whether you say, look, they're not going to do it, just shut them all down.
	That's a distinction really without a difference from a practical standpoint, I think.
	But when you come to the environment, What he's been involved in in the past is stopping toxic pollution and other things like that that are clearly hurting people.
	You know, the kinds of things that we saw in Palestine, Ohio.
	But it's a slippery slope to go from that to the Green McMuffin.
	And so that's what concerns me.
	I mean, I haven't looked for it.
	To see if he has gone out there pushing this depopulation agenda.
	Humans are killing the planet.
	We're all going to die. You know, we've got to take everybody's, everything in your home has got to go.
	You've got to go. Your kids, you've got to be sterilized and all the rest of the stuff.
	I haven't looked to see if he's wacko environmentalist yet.
	But again, the environmentalist movement always began with pollution.
	When they got in trouble a couple of years ago, when people, and this is before they pushed out the pandemic thing, When they started getting in trouble, they switched back for one Earth Day.
	I think it was in the 2019 Earth Day.
	They switched back to a pollution motif, right?
	And, you know, stopped talking about carbon dioxide and getting rid of all carbon dioxide and all animal life and all the rest of the stuff.
	They stopped talking about that and depopulation.
	And they started talking about piles of plastic.
	But they didn't tell you that the piles of plastic were being put in the ocean by the Chinese.
	And they didn't tell you that the solution to the piles of plastic is to incinerate them.
	Get some energy out of it.
	Anyway, so that's my concern.
	I don't really know where he is on that, and that is a fundamental issue.
	It's not just one issue that I disagree with him on.
	That is a fundamental issue.
	And that's what I was telling Gerald.
	I said, yeah, you know, I understand that's only one issue, and I'm never going to agree with everybody on every issue.
	But that is the issue that they are going to use to take everything from us.
	And we need to know where he is on that issue.
	He's not just, you know, he started out as an environmental lawyer.
	He became, you know, focused more on this.
	So they said, well, before we go any further, let me play this for you.
	This was in the transition period.
	This is between the 2016 election and Trump getting sworn in January the 21st, 2017.
	And he called RFK Jr.
	to Trump Tower. Talk about vaccine safety, because Trump had been talking about that.
	And so this is, interviewers caught him as he was leaving.
	Just grab you for a couple questions.
	President-elect Trump was very thoughtful on the issue he has made a chair commission on vaccine safety.
	Vaccine safety. Yeah.
	And scientific integrity.
	Did you request the meeting or did his team call you?
	He called. And what is it that you're looking for in terms of policy on the vaccines?
	To make sure that we have scientific integrity in the vaccine process for efficacy and safety of vaccines.
	President-elect Trump has some doubts about the current vaccine policies.
	He has questions about it.
	He says his opinion doesn't matter, but the science does matter.
	And we ought to be reading the science and we ought to be debating the science.
	And that everybody ought to be, I'm given to be assured that the vaccines that we have are very pro-vaccine, as am I, but they're as safe as they possibly can be.
	And so, you know, if you say that you were going to have a commission, we're going to look at the science behind this, and we're going to look at the safety and the efficacy of that, I'm not anti-vaccine.
	I'm pro-science. And so let's have a commission.
	Let's look at the safety and efficacy.
	And if you do that, That's the same as coming out and saying, we're going to ban vaccines because they're not safe.
	They're not effective. And a scientific approach to this and an objective commission would show that.
	And so that's why I say, I said distinction without a difference.
	But you notice that he said that Trump called him.
	Now, he has subsequently said he was used, essentially.
	He said, yeah, he called me in and, you know, talked to the press about that.
	He said the pharmaceutical industry got very, very upset.
	Started contacting him.
	Gave him a big multi-million dollar donation.
	And the next thing you know, he's appointed Eli Lilly CEO, Alex Azar, as head of HHS. And never talked to RFK Jr.
	again. You see, Trump was using that to bid up his price to big pharmaceutical companies.
	It's just that simple.
	He's just a criminal thug.
	He knows how it's operating.
	He knows how to, he was already pushing out, getting paid, influence peddling, when he was in the transition period.
	And he used RFK for that as well.
	So again, you know, safer vaccine stuff or get rid of them, just do the science and it'll take care of itself.
	Those two things I'm convinced will converge.
	So, here's some of the other headlines.
	The Hill says, anti-vaxxer, RFK Jr., files to run for president as Democrat.
	And then, their article begins with an italicized editor's note that says, we've updated this article to reflect that the organization RFK Jr.
	heads is called Children's Health Defense.
	We regret the error.
	Now, they're attacking him in this article.
	As being, again, first thing they say, anti-vaxxer.
	The first thing they say in the article, the first thing they tack him over, is over that and over Children's Health Defense Fund.
	But they don't even know the name of the organization.
	The Hill didn't even know the name of Children's Health Defense Fund.
	But they said, and this is what they corrected me, RFK heads the Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine organization that often promotes unproven theories about the safety of vaccines.
	It has received strong criticism for its misinformation.
	Other people say.
	Of course, they're not saying that.
	Unnamed other people say.
	They don't even say. No, they don't even know the name of the organization.
	But they're telling you that it promotes unproven theories.
	Do they know the theories?
	And they're not theories.
	They're government statistics that show the vaccines are not safe.
	It's a headpiece.
	He's not running against Biden.
	RFK Jr. is running against Big Pharma and the CIA and all the rest of these people.
	Because in his book, Anthony Fauci, he ties Fauci and all these germ games, he ties them directly to the CIA. He knows who killed his uncle and his father.
	Kennedy faced repercussions from social media platforms about his promotion of conspiracy vaccines, says The Hill.
	Instagram removed his account in 2021 after he shared, quote, Well, the problem is that those, quote, debunked claims have now been verified.
	And the government's statements and propaganda and lies have been debunked.
	Meta also took down Children's Health Defense Facebook page last August for, quote, repeatedly violating the platform's policies on COVID-19 and vaccine policies.
	Well, here's what RFK Jr.
	had to say about free speech.
	You think about this.
	I got expelled from Instagram because of vaccine misinformation.
	But Instagram and Facebook cannot point to one single erroneous statement that I ever made.
	Everything we post is vetted, it is sourced and cited to government databases or peer-reviewed publications.
	When they use the term vaccine misinformation, they are using it as a euphemism For any statement that departs from official government policies and pharmaceutical industry profit-taking, it has nothing to do whether it's true or false.
	It only has to do with what the political implications are.
	And who is doing this censorship?
	It's government officials in league with Bill Gates, with Larry Ellison, with Mark Zuckerberg, with Sergey Brin from Google, and with all of these internet titans.
	They have engineered not only the destruction of our democracy and our civil rights, but they have engineered the biggest shift of wealth in human history.
	3.8 trillion dollars from working people to these handful of billionaires, many of them from Silicon Valley.
	This pandemic has impoverished the world and created 500 new billionaires.
	And those are the people who are strip mining our economies and making themselves rich.
	And is it a coincidence that these are the same people who are censoring criticism of the government policies and are bringing them trillions of dollars?
	People aren't stupid.
	We can see what's happening.
	We can ask the question, qui bono?
	And the answer is, the people who are benefiting are the people who are squeezing away our constitutional rights and engineering the destruction of democracy worldwide.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Very powerful. Very sincere, I think.
	And I think that is spot on.
	This is why I'm happy to see him running, because that's the way he's going.
	Now, look, anybody can say anything as a candidate.
	Trump said a lot of things as a candidate.
	He ran when he was president.
	He was completely different the first three years.
	And then the fourth year, he became a backstabbing globalist traitor.
	There's no other way to put it, as a matter of fact.
	I got angry letters.
	One of them was accusing me of being controlled opposition, said I had Trump derangement syndrome.
	It's like, are you kidding me?
	It doesn't matter whether this is a left or a right newspaper or organization, media outlet.
	It doesn't matter which one of these I go to.
	The top of the thing is filled with Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	Everybody's got Trump derangement syndrome.
	I'm not deranged about him.
	I'm not cheering him. I'm trying to point out what he did.
	We look at candidates and we look at what they say.
	But when you've been president, we look at what you did.
	Sorry, it's a fail.
	It's a hard pass.
	So he disagreed with me, and he also disagreed with me, and thought that it was wrong to say that we shouldn't focus on presidential politics, which is what I'm talking about now.
	He says, oh no, you need to focus on this.
	Trump is our only hope, and he can fix all that type of stuff.
	Trump is not our only hope.
	RFK Jr. is not a hope for us, neither is DeSantis.
	None of these people are.
	I said, you've got to focus on fixing things in your life.
	And that is real. I stand by that.
	I will emphasize that constantly.
	Because the key thing is your spiritual condition.
	First of all, what's your relationship, not with the U.S. government, what's your relationship with God?
	Then what's your relationship with your family, your neighbors?
	Way down the list is your relationship with But the government is dangerous.
	The government is interested in you.
	And so you better understand where these people who are likely to affect you and your family and your neighbor, you better understand how they're going to be trying to come after you.
	And there are some things that you can do to try to mitigate that.
	And politics is one of them.
	Not that you make it your life.
	You don't make it the center of your life.
	It's far more involved in my life that'll be healthy.
	That's why I try to read through some of the stuff so you don't have to.
	And you can try to focus on the real world.
	But I'm just trying to warn you about what's coming.
	Anyway, let me read some of the comments here.
	My son said that after the debunkers have been proven wrong and he's been proven right, I guess we could say that he's been rebunked.
	They were debunked and he was now rebunked.
	That's true of all of us who have been opposing this stuff.
	I was called out for...
	Can you imagine this in March of 2020 when it all happened?
	I said right away it was medical martial law.
	So by the first week of April, I think it was.
	I had Daily Beast saying...
	It's either Daily Beast or...
	Buzzfeed. That said, start calling me and others out for saying it was medical martial law.
	It was. And we can see clearly in the mirror that it was.
	And that executive order is still there.
	But let's talk about, let's see what some of you are saying.
	Charlie H.S., thank you for the tip on Rumble.
	He said, he gave his name.
	I'm not going to read his name.
	He says, might not the powers, he's in Thailand.
	He said, might not the powers to be want Trump in 2024 to go further toward the Great Reset and Agenda 2030.
	He's promoting his smart cities, his biometric surveillance.
	Absolutely. I absolutely agree.
	He's the perfect person for all of that.
	You know, what they do, they really can advance their agenda.
	You know, when you establish in people's minds what the Republicans are for and what the Democrats are for, you get a Republican or a Democrat in, and you can rapidly move the agenda in the areas that people think they're not supporting.
	Gun control, for example, right?
	Oh, well, you know, Trump is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
	Well, he, you know, pushes red flags.
	He pushes the tremendous precedent of gun control by executive order.
	That's a classic example of all that.
	But I think everything that happened in 2020 was as well.
	As I've said many times, people would not have let Hillary Clinton get away with this.
	Half the country would have risen up in rebellion immediately.
	But they laid down for Trump.
	And you had people like Alex Tom.
	He's on our side. I know it doesn't look like he's on our side, but he really is.
	Forget about what he's doing.
	He's Trump. He's playing 40 chess.
	Pay no attention to what he's doing.
	I'm telling you, I've got these secret meetings with him and people who know him.
	He's really going to take care of us.
	Yeah. Be careful about that.
	Watch what they do. Gene Whitworth.
	RFK thinks he can be successful as a Democrat in a two-party delusion and that he can't do it outside the corrupt duopoly system.
	The big Bernie mistake.
	If it was a mistake.
	To refuse to go Indy.
	I don't see that doing any good except exposing them on the issues.
	And that will help marginally, I guess.
	I think that is the case. I think it will help him expose them on the issues.
	He is really, really, really a long shot.
	You know, just like Ramaswamy.
	But, you know, Ramaswamy will come in and he'll say some important things.
	He hasn't, Ramaswamy hasn't been focused on what I think are the issues like RFK has been.
	But it is going to be Interesting to see it.
	And I can tell you from working in third-party politics, I understand why somebody who doesn't agree with major parties would still run within them.
	Because they have done everything.
	The presidential conventions, remember, Democrats, I should say.
	Sorry, debates. When we had the debates with the Republicans and Democrats, last time we really had open debates like that where a third-party candidate was involved with Ross Perot.
	And they were run at that time by the League of Women Voters.
	And after that happened, the Republicans and Democrats got together.
	They funded and created a presidential commission that is owned by the Republicans and the Democrats and And if you say, wait a minute, this is violating fair and open elections, and you shouldn't be doing this, and people's response is, well, this is being done by a private corporation.
	A private corporation that was created by the Republicans and Democrats.
	And so they're going to determine who's going to be allowed in the debates.
	And then, of course, they will pick the journalists.
	They're also happy to be focused there to be the ones asking questions.
	And so they're going to ask all the standard boilerplate stuff that we have every single election.
	None of the issues that are really before us.
	And then they'll put in some gotcha questions about the candidates.
	That really gets them out there.
	It gets their face out there like Megyn Kelly.
	You know, you ask some gotcha questions and, oh, now you're a big reporter.
	So, the whole thing is rigged.
	And, you know, they rig the ballot.
	It's almost impossible to get on the ballot as a third party or an independent candidate because of what the Democrats or Republicans have done.
	And so, I understand somebody who doesn't like the parties and what they stand for running within the party system.
	And, because I just worked too long in third parties.
	I saw how corrupt it is.
	You have to go through so many more hoops.
	Spend so much more time and energy just to get on the ballot, and then once you get on the ballot, they exclude you from the debates and on and on.
	So, as a high-profile individual, he will be able to get into the debates.
	And that will be interesting.
	Very interesting. So, North American House Hippo.
	He said, I heard George Nury interview RFK Jr.
	last year. His vocal paralysis has only gotten worse.
	I don't know how he could even campaign.
	Well, yeah. I mean, it is bad, and it is a little bit difficult to listen to him, but I don't know.
	I can still understand him.
	He certainly isn't as bad as Fetterman, and Fetterman won.
	I don't know. He's like, that really is Weekend with Bernie, the Fetterman campaign.
	Yeah. KWD68. He really does struggle at this point.
	I'd rather listen to him than the bumbling Biden or the arrogant Trump.
	That's right. Yeah, the delivery is a little bit difficult, but what you just heard him say there was spot on, I believe.
	And we've got a couple more here.
	Patrick S. Think RFK is the new other controlled opposition?
	Well, again, you know, whether...
	When you look at what he's doing, I don't trust him on the environmental stuff because I don't know if he's going to go Green McGuffin.
	But the other stuff that he's saying there I think is spot on and important to be said.
	And I think he says it with a...
	An integrity that comes across.
	I think he sincerely believes this stuff.
	Look, he's paid a big price to do all this.
	And so I think he's sincere about that.
	Let's see. Gene Whitworth says, I disagree.
	I got healthy when I stopped getting all the vaxes.
	I disagree with him about wanting clean vaccines.
	I agree, too. But as I said before, I think, you know...
	Del Bigtree has said the same thing.
	Of course, Del Bigtree has connections with RFK Jr.
	They're friends. I think there's financial connections going on between Children's Health Defense Fund and the ICANN organization.
	You know, I can decide that Del Bigtree runs.
	And, you know, I've had the chance to meet Del Bigtree personally.
	He comes across to me as being very sincere, and he has taken a lot of hits as well.
	For years and years over his opposition to vaccines.
	And yet, Big Tree will say, well, I'm not against vaccines per se.
	But, you know, there aren't any vaccines that are being done out there that are what they would consider to be safe.
	That's the key issue. That's why I say it's something that I think more than anything is a rhetorical response to these people saying, you're anti-vaccine.
	It's like, no, what I oppose...
	Are these elements of the vaccine that are harming people?
	And I think that's an important rhetorical way to look at this, to say, look, I'm not going to fight you over vaccine and germ theory and virus theory and stuff like that.
	But you think it's okay to inject people with formaldehyde?
	Mercury and other things like that.
	MRNA. You think it's okay to inject people with that?
	You think you don't have to test any of that stuff?
	You think you don't have to be held liable when you injure people for any of that stuff?
	You see, that's where the debate needs to be.
	And the rest of the stuff, I think, will take care of itself.
	So again, I'm not going to fault him for that, as long as he's talking about what is...
	Characteristic of, endemic of these vaccines.
	Again, there aren't any safe vaccines out there.
	And if you were to do the science and you look at the safety and the efficacy, that would end the debate right there.
	So it's kind of like, you know, Ron Paul says, for the longest time he said, let's end the Fed.
	And he said, let's audit the Fed.
	And I don't see that as a retrenchment from Ron Paul on that issue.
	He understands that you have to see what's in it.
	And I think that's really what's going on with RFK Jr.
	and Dell Bigtree. I think that, look at what's in your vaccines.
	Okay, do you understand now?
	Now we can end the Fed.
	We can end the pharmaceutical legal immunity that Fauci put in there.
	I think that's the approach that they're taking.
	Anyway, they said, Biden was previously expected to launch his campaign early April.
	But top aides say his timeline has shifted.
	Well, maybe he just forgot.
	Maybe his wife, Jill, will remind him.
	There was something I had to do in April.
	I can't remember. Oh, yeah, that's right.
	Announce I'm running for president.
	Techno Viking, RFK, he says, Thumbs down.
	Supports the climate change agenda.
	Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised, as I said.
	He has focused on this other stuff, and like I said, I'm not supporting candidates, because if I agree with him on vaccines and mandates and speech and CBDC and all the rest of this stuff, and yet he's pushing the Green McGuffin, I wouldn't vote for him personally, but I support him on these other issues, and I'm glad to see that he's bringing them up publicly, and he's going to strongly debate those issues.
	So, from that standpoint, I'd like to see him running.
	But like I said, you know, the Green McGuffin is a deal killer for me, anybody that signs on to that.
	North American House Hippo.
	On the other hand, Dave, all politics is bunk.
	That's true. That's true.
	All of it is local, right?
	You know, even the politicians say, Tip O'Neill, you know, he was saying that, and as the Democrats are building their base, all the politics is local.
	And he's right. Because, you know, what he's saying is, The power is really there in the local community.
	And so the politics are local, even for the people who are at the national level.
	Tip O'Neill was the Speaker of the House for a very long time, for the Democrats.
	And so even though the local level is the base of their support, that's where things really happen in our lives and even in politics.
	So let me go through some of his issues here before we take a break because I did want to give you an idea of some of the things that he's said, which is why I think it would be good to have him there again.
	Take a look at Elon Musk.
	He gave millions of dollars to Andrew Yang.
	Did Andrew Yang have any chance whatsoever winning?
	No, he didn't. But Andrew Yang was pushing universal basic income and other things that the big tech neo-Marxists like Elon Musk wanted to push.
	And so, you know, he gave him a voice and gave him money to do that type of thing.
	So again, the typical theme that you see, here's Associated Press.
	The typical theme is, well, he was once a best-selling author and an environmental lawyer, and he worked on issues like clean water, but then 15 years ago, he tragically, they don't say tragically, they say he became fixated on a belief that vaccines are not safe.
	His anti-vaccine charity, Children's Health Defense, prospered during the pandemic with revenues doubling in 2020 to $6.8 million.
	Yeah, because people could see what was coming.
	In 2021, he released The Real Anthony Fauci.
	They said he promoted unproven COVID treatments such as ivermectin, which is meant to treat parasites and an anti-malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine.
	Well, you know what? Viagra was meant to treat blood pressure.
	Sometimes they find different uses.
	It's called off-label, right?
	Sometimes that's the key use.
	Nobody really needs ivermectin for river parasites, but it does sure work great for that strain of the flu.
	Anyway, so let's take a look at what he has said recently.
	Yeah, my son says, I thought it was just for horses.
	So, let's talk about some of the issues.
	To give you an idea of what it's going to be like to have him in some of these debates, he tweeted out on the third, he said,"...the collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the kingdom's new alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power." China has displaced the American empire by deftly
	projecting, instead, economic power.
	Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports.
	China has spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world.
	The Ukraine war is in the final collapse of the neocons' short-lived, quote, American century, unquote.
	The neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughing stock of U.S. military power and moral authority, and pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as a global currency, cost millions of lives, and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence.
	I think that's spot on. I'd like to see that in a debate.
	And then when he's talking about Palestine, Ohio, he tweeted out the story that I read to you earlier this week about the fact that nearly half of the CDC workers got sick.
	They had 15 that went there.
	Seven of them came down with the exact same symptoms.
	And they went a month after the incident happened.
	I remember the government, the EPA, and everybody was, that's safe.
	Go ahead. Go back in. Yeah, it's safe.
	Go back to your house. So a month later, long after it was declared safe, half of the CDC inspectors get sick with the same symptoms.
	So he retweeted that article that somebody had put out.
	And he said, our experts from Morgan& Morgan also got sick there.
	And then he talked about the CBDC. He said this.
	This was yesterday.
	He said, the Fed just announced it will introduce its FedNow Central Bank Digital Currency, CBDC, in July.
	CBDC agrees the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.
	While cash transactions are anonymous, a CBDC will allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs.
	The central bank will have the power to enforce dollar limits on our transactions, restricting where you can send money, where you can spend it and when money expires.
	A CBDC tied to digital ID and social credit score will allow the government to freeze your assets or limit your spending to approved vendors if you fail to comply with arbitrary diktats.
	For example, vaccine mandates.
	The Fed will initially limit its CBDC to interbank transactions, but we should not be blind to the obvious danger that this is the first step in banning and seizing Bitcoin, as the Treasury did with gold 90 years ago today in 1933.
	Watch as governments which never let a good crisis go to waste use COVID-19 and the banking crisis to usher in a new wave of CBDCs as a safe haven from germ-laden paper currencies or as protection against bank runs.
	Again, spot on.
	You know, as Gerald Slinty always pointed out, he likes to hold up the cover that he had there In January of 2020, everybody said, oh, don't touch anything.
	From dirty cash to digital trash, is what he said, right?
	Yeah, don't touch the cash.
	Cash is dirty now.
	Get your diseased cooties and all that kind of stuff.
	And so, you know, he's spot on with that.
	And here's a good thing about this.
	I just talked last week about an observation from Brian Shulhavi at Vaccine Impact or Health Impact.
	And he said you know there's a troubling thing that's happening here.
	The only people who are opposing CBDC are on the Republican side.
	He says are they lining this thing up to be a partisan issue?
	Because if they do line this thing up to be a partisan issue Like they did opposition to the vaccine mandates and things like that.
	Then immediately, you know, this is going to be a thing.
	Well, I'm a Democrat, so I'm for CBDC. Just like they did with a lot of the vaccine stuff, the vaccine mandates and the masks and all the rest of this stuff.
	So to have a really strong voice that is a Democrat, that is saying the same stuff about CBDC, that DeSantis is saying about CBDC, That Emmer in the House is saying about it.
	That some people at the state level, like Frank Nicely here in Tennessee, are saying about it.
	Now it's no longer simply a them versus us issue.
	Now people are going to take a look at it.
	That's a very powerful positive out of this thing, I think.
	For him to take that stance, he understands all of the aspects of it and the dangerous aspects of it.
	To take that To the debates and to push back against Biden, who is, you know, running this thing, ramming this thing through from the get-go.
	So to have a Democrat take that to Biden in a debate, that's pretty good, I think.
	Anyway, just another one or two here.
	He has a quote from Benjamin Franklin.
	He tweeted out, whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
	And so he says, please consider signing this petition demanding that YouTube stop censoring political speech.
	Well, that's not going to stop them.
	But he did have a statement saying you can't have a free press if you're going to be locking up journalists like Julian Assange.
	Again, taking on the deep state and getting to a core problem there.
	He says, why does the CDC refuse to investigate the cause of exploding autism epidemic?
	Far more devastating than COVID. As a matter of fact, that was their article, childrenshealthdefense.org.
	One in 36 kids have autism, says the CDC. And so you typically would see pushback like this, which somebody responded to his tweet.
	Seriously, what is wrong with you?
	The rise in autism diagnosis is directly related to more screening and better understanding of neurodiversity.
	There have always been this many autistic people.
	Many of them were just never diagnosed.
	Well, if you believe that, and Brian Shalhavi reporting the Children's Health Defense article with his comments, he said, well, if that's the case, then where are all the autistic adults?
	We should be seeing, you know, over a certain age when this thing started exploding.
	And it has gone up unbelievably exponentially.
	Now one out of every 36 kids.
	So where are all the older people who have autism?
	Show me. No, they're not there.
	This is tied to the vaccines in terms of the time frame that it rolled out, for sure.
	Anyway, he said in terms of the war stuff.
	He says, as Eisenhower warned, the military-industrial complex has devastated our democracy, impoverished our middle class, sowed chaos around the globe, obliterated our moral authority, and today both political parties are the war party.
	So I think he's going to be kind of like a bomb thrower.
	Here's the thing. There is no America without a free press, and there is no free press without a free Julian Assange.
	It's going to be very interesting to have him in the debates.
	One more.
	He says, whether you call it lockdown liberalism, surveillance liberalism, or censorship liberalism, it's just the new face of neoliberalism, the erection of a surveillance and security state to suppress dissent as billionaires gorge themselves on the bleached carcasses of our ruined middle class.
	And then he attacks the CDC, doling out hundreds of millions of dollars in grants to the creation of culturally tailored pro-vaccine materials, training influential messengers to promote COVID, flu vaccines to communities of color in every state across the country.
	So he understands what the issues are.
	Of course, there's other issues.
	You know, this whole thing with what is happening in the schools, you know, the Marxism, the LGBT stuff.
	But look, that is a local issue that we really do need to address.
	And parents need to take responsibility.
	Right now, you don't have the situation that existed when I was a kid.
	You have the option to take your kids out of school and not be jailed or have the kids taken away from you in most every jurisdiction.
	Some are better than others. But you have the ability to do that.
	And, you know, you also have the ability to try to stop this burning building that we call government schools.
	You also have the ability to try to stop it from burning down the rest of our society.
	But that's something that we have to do.
	And that's something that we want to look at the government to do.
	And did you notice that in each and every one of these issues, I don't see him proposing some grand new programs.
	I see him saying, you know, what we're doing here is wrong.
	We've got to stop this, and we've got to stop that, and we've got to stop CBDC, and we've got to stop the vaccine mandates, and we've got to stop the censorship.
	He's not out there like a typical idealistic Democrat proposing new programs.
	You remember in the 2020 election, he had 15 to 20 different Democrats, and they all had this big shopping list.
	I remember going back and told him, oh, well, let's see, Bernie wants to spend $50 trillion, and Lala Harris wants to spend $45 trillion, and Biden, well, you know, whatever the numbers were, they all had a big shopping list of all the things the government was going to do to fix your life.
	Even though he's in the Democrat Party, he's looking at this as, these are the things the government's doing that's going to destroy our lives and our liberty.
	So I think it'll be an interesting, definitely going to make the whole thing more interesting.
	And anytime you get somebody who's going to talk about issues, we get away from all this catcalling and name-calling, this juvenile stuff that has characterized our elections, especially under Trump.
	He took all that stuff to an absurd new level.
	That's the Trump derangement syndrome.
	The weaponization of all that.
	We'll be right back and we'll talk about what is happening in the news.
	Stay with us. The common man.
	They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
	They created Common Past to track and control us.
	Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	The David Knight Show dot com.
	All right.
	Welcome back.
	Let's talk a little bit about some current events.
	A little bit more politics. This is in Chicago, which, again, we don't live in Chicago, but it is emblematic of what is happening in big cities and Democrat cities.
	This is the election that was held because, as they had their mayoral elections, people had had enough of Lori Lightfoot, and she came in a distant third, but neither of the candidates had enough votes to win, so they had a runoff election between number one and number two.
	To make sure somebody got over 50%.
	And the guy who won is Brandon Johnson.
	Let's go, Brandon.
	And Brandon wants to go.
	He wants illegal aliens to vote.
	He wants the police shut down.
	He ran on a campaign that really is pushing all of the Marxist issues.
	The guy he was running against, who actually came in quite a bit ahead of him, Uh, was white.
	And I guess what happened was, uh, Brandon and, uh, Lori split the black vote.
	And then they probably voted for this guy simply because he's black because that is his entire campaign was about race.
	Uh, the white guy who was, had been part of the, uh, school system, uh, That should have been a disqualification.
	If you run the school system in Chicago, how does that qualify you to dog catcher?
	But anyway, he was more moderate, people said, because he was focused on what they could do to stop some of the burgeoning crime in Chicago.
	But Brandon wants to work with Governor Pritzker to open up the local school board elections to illegal aliens and other foreign nationals who have green cards or even temporary visas.
	Oh, yeah, you're not a citizen of the country, but come on, yeah, definitely vote, right?
	And of course, I say, well, it's because I got kids in this school.
	You should be able to decide about it.
	No, this is just a transitional step to taking over our country with foreigners.
	The great replacement. This is what that's about.
	You know, replacing people, opening up the borders, and then letting people who are not even citizens.
	And a lot of the people who are coming here illegally, they're just coming in to make money.
	They don't see America as their home.
	They see They plan on going back there after they've made some money.
	In addition to that, Brandon has vowed, and this is Brandon Johnson, not the Brandon in the White House, vowed to provide taxpayer-funded rental assistance, semi-permanent housing to illegal aliens.
	Yeah, as I've always said, it's the big migration magnet.
	And as long as you're providing free stuff to anybody, you know, come on, yeah, come on in.
	We'll give you everything for free. The Americans will pay for it, but you come on in.
	They had a dream once upon a time of a home that they could own, the American dream.
	But you come on in.
	We'll give you free housing, free everything, schooling.
	You don't have to be a citizen. We'll just give it all to you, and we'll tax them, and then they won't be able to afford a home themselves.
	So yeah, the dreamers have a dream, but the American dream has been killed for Americans.
	So you have a migration magnet, and as long as you have that, it doesn't really matter what you put at the border.
	People are going to find a way in.
	And then, of course, he takes the Soros law enforcement chaos thing seriously.
	He wants to, for starters, end the gang database.
	Well, that's discriminatory.
	To keep a database of criminals?
	And we've seen this type of thing in Democrat areas before in the past.
	I always talk about the story out of Long Island as a father who came with his family from El Salvador because the gangs down there were so bad.
	And where did MS-13 start?
	It started in L.A., And, but anyway, it's come back with a vengeance into the home area.
	And we've seen all the pictures.
	They've had so much crime there.
	They elected this young leader who, you know, showed you the pictures of those prisons where they're marching them in.
	And, you know, that was only 2,000 people.
	They had them all lined up and squatting on the, you know, sitting on the floor with their hands behind their heads.
	They had tattoos.
	They were gang members. And so anyway, he said his daughter was killed at school.
	By some of these MS-13 gang members.
	But you know, they were just young dreamers.
	Can't deport them because they're illegal.
	They're just dreamers. And can't do anything about them, put them in a gang database or, you know, kick them out because they're illegal and they're gang members.
	And you can see it written all over their body.
	Can't do any of that. He said, I thought my family would be safe if I came to America.
	But guess what? When the doors open, MS-13 comes through as well.
	And if you don't want to keep a database to the gang members, because you know, that'd be racist.
	That's what's going to happen in Chicago.
	Plans to open Chicago's local school board elections to foreign nationals, including illegal aliens.
	They had this brought up in the state level.
	And at the state level, all the House Republicans, probably both of them, I don't know, And the rural areas is going to be the way it is in every state, right?
	Rural areas, you're going to have predominantly Republicans.
	All House Republicans and 42 House Democrats even voted to block this plan, while 162 House Democrats voted to greenlight it.
	And the White House has suggested this could be something that they would want to try to do at a national level.
	And, of course, he is a dangerous racist Marxist when he was campaigning.
	Brandon Johnson said, this is about black labor versus white wealth.
	That's what this battle is about.
	Now, how is he any different?
	From South African Marxists that Marjorie Taylor Greene was just idiotically praising the other day.
	You know, Nelson Mandela and these people.
	Oh, yeah, they kill the boar, kill the white man, take the farm, right?
	It's about black labor versus white wealth there in South Africa.
	And that's where we are right now.
	But by all means, you know, hold Nelson Mandela up there as some kind of a martyr.
	Why not? Here, here, let's just...
	Marjorie Taylor Greene. Why don't you talk about how unfairly Che Guevara was treated as well, okay?
	So, this guy ran this case, this campaign, talking about that while the other Democrat, Paul Vallis, was focused on crime.
	He was focused on victimhood and racism.
	And if we're going to ignore the crime, let's take a look.
	We just had the Cash App creator.
	Co-founder of it and many other things.
	This guy is a tech billionaire.
	He was on a business trip to San Francisco, Bob Lee.
	He was stabbed in San Francisco and died.
	And that's what San Francisco has become.
	So a lot of Silicon Valley people like Elon Musk talking about that.
	When are you going to fix the crime there?
	Well, not as long as there are Democrats involved.
	They like it like that. And you're going to see it get a lot more dangerous in Chicago as well.
	This article here, San Francisco could collapse.
	What should California do about it?
	Downtown San Francisco is at risk of collapsing.
	What they're talking about is financially.
	It's on the ropes.
	Because of the Trump lockdown and hasn't recovered yet, like most of these people began working from home.
	And, you know, that is, it's not just because this is Silicon Valley and a lot of people working from home.
	Same thing is happening in New York.
	We talked about that many times.
	Commercial real estate in New York is down by 50% minimum.
	And so, it's that office workers are staying home instead of commuting.
	It could send San Francisco into a doom loop.
	To gut its tax base, to decimate fair, reliant regional transit systems like BART, and to trap it into an economic death spiral.
	We may be seeing that in a lot of these big cities.
	And that's not necessarily a good thing, because what happens when they go into a death spiral?
	Well, people who live in those cities are going to get angry, going to get dangerous, frankly.
	So, at the center of all this are failing energy policies.
	It says, Real Clear Wire.
	And this is one of the reasons why embracing the green MacGuffin is a very dangerous thing, if RFK is going to do that.
	It is. I do welcome his voice on all these other very, very important issues that are not being talked about by anybody, but look.
	If you buy into this, and this person who's writing for real clear wire takes a very strange tact on all of this.
	He says a great disconnect is how our energy discussion is framed.
	For too many years, the fact-free, illogical, and ideological demands of extremists Well, see, all that is true.
	The way the energy discussion is framed is true.
	And everything they want to do, as I've said over and over again, it's not about emissions.
	It's about omissions.
	It's about taking everything from you and locking you down.
	But he doesn't seem to get that.
	Even though he sees that, well, wait a minute.
	This is not really about, if we were to do all these things, it really wouldn't protect the environment.
	But we've got to protect the environment, he says.
	Really? He says, simple fact is we can and we must.
	March toward a lower carbon future.
	Wrong, wrong, wrong.
	If you fall for that, then you are going to...
	First of all, how could he look at this stuff and look at this disconnect and not understand where the true motives of these people are?
	I just don't understand how people can come away with this tack on all of this.
	He says, we can and we must march toward a lower carbon future while producing more oil and natural gas than ever and diversifying our energy economy with more wind, solar, and soon neutral nuclear.
	He just fell for the whole ball of wax.
	This has never been about saving the planet.
	This is about them getting power and taking power and wealth from us.
	It has never been about saving the planet.
	It's been about killing people.
	Depopulation. That's where it all started.
	Paul Ehrlich, you know, father of Earth Day and all the rest of the stuff, from the very beginning and even into today, he's still all about...
	There's too many people. We've got to kill people.
	If we have wars, that's good.
	If we have pandemics, that's good.
	We've got to stop people from reproducing.
	We need to find a way that we can sterilize.
	Well, they've got a way to sterilize people now, right?
	And to kill people. Wars and vaccines and mandates for vaccines and vaccines that sterilize.
	He said there are contradictions abounding in these efforts to save our planet.
	No, they're not contradictions.
	They're prohibitions because this is about political power.
	It's not about the planet. He said the usual anti-everything gang wants to replace internal combustion vehicles with electric, and so they also oppose U.S. development of metals, including an important EV component, mineral, cobalt.
	Well, you know, some of these people looked at this thing, and they believed the Paris Climate Accord.
	But then they, I mean, they looked at the Paris Climate Accord, and even though they're true believers in all this save-the-planet nonsense, they said, wait a minute.
	If you're going to let the two biggest countries on Earth China and India, if you're going to let them industrialize and you're going to let them build as many and as dirty of power plants as you want, this isn't about saving the planet.
	This is about transference of wealth.
	And it's like, bingo, you're finally starting to get there.
	The guy who wrote this, his name is David Holt.
	He's the president of Consumer Energy Alliance, a U.S. consumer energy and environment advocate, supporting affordable, reliable energy for working families, seniors, and businesses across the country.
	You want to talk about somebody who's controlled opposition?
	Whether he realizes it or not.
	I'm not saying he's consciously selling us out.
	But he's not on our side.
	He doesn't understand what is happening.
	It really doesn't.
	So, China cheers on OPEC Plus and their production cut as a gut punch to the U.S. There's no doubt that the U.S. and China are at each other's throats and guts, I guess. And there's no doubt as to who is winning, who is getting the geopolitical power.
	We'll talk about that when we come back.
	I want to talk a little bit more about the true inflation.
	We've gone from the petrodollar to now petroinflation.
	And who is it? That is pushing the petroinflation more.
	Is it OPEC plus?
	Or is it Joe Biden?
	But before we do, let me read a couple of comments here from a North American house.
	CBDC is one thing.
	He said, check out CBTC. Communications-based train control, where the trains are now driving themselves.
	I wish Goatree had known about that issue.
	Yes. As a matter of fact, I had somebody who contacted me and said, no, Goatree is wrong.
	They're not automatically stopping.
	Well, they will be automatically stopping with this.
	And you heard that video where the person who contacted me, I've got the email here somewhere, but I did not reply to all that I thought I'd just covered on air.
	Goatree is not the guy who was a railroader.
	Those are two very different individuals.
	Goatree has a background in cybersecurity.
	That's what he does.
	And he's been very successful in that.
	And the other guy had a railroad channel, so this guy was somewhat confused about that.
	But as you heard in the video that I had there, and I think Gautry, that's the only thing that he misstated there, was the fact that once they get these alarms, that it would automatically shut down.
	That's what the CBTC is about, if they put that in.
	No, what it does is it sends out an audible alarm, as you were hearing in that video, and then the person who is responsible for the train, who is on the train, makes his decision as to how he wants to shut it down.
	The best way to do it safely, he makes that decision.
	North American House Hippo also said, my mother-in-law was born in Flint, Michigan, oh, in the 1950s.
	She tells me what a great place Flint and Detroit used to be.
	You know, that's the other thing.
	You can look at the buildings in Detroit, what's left of them, and you can understand these things were truly magnificent.
	I've seen pictures of the high schools and the auditoriums in Detroit.
	There was so much money there.
	And they put it into the public buildings like that.
	And then some amazing mansions as well.
	I remember a few years ago, the Top Gear crew, I guess it might have been on a grand tour, and they went to Detroit and they drove three American muscle cars They had the Dodge Charger or Challenger.
	They had the Mustang.
	And they had the Camaro.
	And they were driving it around.
	And you could just see how everything had decayed.
	But you could also see some amazingly magnificent buildings that once were amazingly magnificent.
	You could see them in their decay.
	It's like looking at the Roman ruins.
	Except these things are made out of wood.
	They're not going to be around that much longer.
	Anyway, it says she moved to Ontario in the 1970s and now sees Toronto going the same way.
	Yeah. You know, it really is the will of the community, the will to survive, the idea of excellence.
	That's why I say, you know, if we don't build a vision in our homes and ourselves, if we don't have a vision of where we want to go with this stuff, it's not enough to be against the schools.
	You've got to know what you want your kids to be.
	You've got to know that you want a kid, for example, of character.
	Is your end goal to get your kid into an Ivy League school?
	Well, you can pretty much forget it if the kid's white.
	I'm not going to go into it in detail, but there was an article about a kid who just had amazing marks in terms of GPA and test scores and all the rest of the stuff.
	He got turned down by every Ivy League school.
	But you know, in the past, it's always been a people's goal to get their kids into some school and let the kids take it from there, find something that they're interested in, get them to a great school where they can meet rich and powerful people, and they too can be rich and powerful.
	But of course, you know, what is it?
	Profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul.
	So if you take a bigger picture for your kids, and you say, well, this is what I want them to be when they grow up, and you focus on that, and you have a vision for what you want your child's education to look like, what you want the child to be.
	See, the school is looking to create...
	Widgets. It's looking for useful idiots for their agenda.
	They want to use your kids as cogs and machine, whether that machine is some kind of an industrial factory or whether it's some kind of a political machine.
	They want your kids for the meat grinder of the military, if you will, you know, for their empire.
	They've got plans for your kids.
	So you need to think about where you want your kids to fit.
	And you need to think about your family and the projection for that.
	What society should look like on a bigger level is beyond what most of us can affect.
	But we can affect things in our family.
	And so we need to understand where these people are coming from.
	And we need to understand that they're coming at us.
	But the solutions are going to come from us.
	And we have to have that positive vision.
	It's not enough to be against the drag queens.
	We have to say, well, what kind of a society do we want?
	How do we want our kids to dress, right?
	Do we want your girl to wear a dress?
	And, you know, instead of dressing like a man.
	That's the other thing.
	When I go back and I look at pictures of when we were in high school and stuff, all the girls were wearing skirts or dresses.
	When did it become the universal thing, a unisex type of thing?
	That used to be something that only the Chinese communists did, because that's a communist approach to level everything, including the differences between male and female.
	Gard Goldsmith, good to see you there.
	Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that.
	You don't need to do that. I appreciate that.
	I appreciate all the work that you do, Gard.
	I appreciate that. Happy Easter, David.
	My Saturday off-label use will be to promote the best broadcast and kindest family around.
	Well, thank you. I had a moment to send good thoughts.
	Best to all. Liberty Conspiracy is where you'll find Gardner.
	He also does a lot of work for MRCTV. Some of the best stuff out there.
	And a great host.
	As a matter of fact, I heard from a lot of people last time we were gone.
	Guard did the show talking about how excellent his content was.
	Angus Mustang, thank you for the tip.
	He says, Happy Easter to the Knight family.
	Thank you. And Narrow Way, Narrow Gate Ministries says, Detroit 1900 was the jewel of the United States.
	Absolutely. Totally clean.
	Go see pics of it on Shorpy.
	S-H-O-R-P-Y. Never heard of that.
	100 years of Democrats and you have Mad Max from Thunderdome.
	The Democrats are the Lord's great locust army.
	Well, that is true. He has handed us over to...
	Because we have turned our backs to become apathetic about all this.
	He sees people, just like he said, you think those Babylonians are bad?
	Oh yeah, they're awful. But I'm going to use them to judge you.
	They're coming. That type of thing.
	You think the Democrats are awful, but God can use anybody to judge us if he needs to get our attention.
	If he can't get your attention...
	He hits you upside the head with a two by four or gets a bigger stick, even if that doesn't work.
	Music playing in bright rhythm
	Music playing in bright rhythm
	Well, oil prices surged in the last few days after the surprise OPEC move.
	You know, this is one of the things you hear a lot of monetarists, people who follow Milton Friedman, will say inflation everywhere is always a monetary phenomenon.
	Well, I don't think that that's true.
	I think, you know, the Fed actually does create inflation and their policies can throw gasoline on the inflation.
	But I've seen in my lifetime now two times where the gasoline itself was causing the fire and causing the inflation.
	With the original OPEC and now with OPEC Plus, we see that as well.
	Here's inflation so that a five-year-old can understand it.
	Inflation is when the price of things go up.
	Period. Now, there's a lot of ways that that can happen.
	The most direct way that that can happen Is if somebody comes in and says, we've got control and we're going to force the price to go.
	We've got a monopoly. We've got a cartel.
	I've got an executive order.
	I've got sanctions. And I'm just going to raise the price arbitrarily or I'm going to cut the supply while the demand is going to remain.
	Either way, that is inflationary.
	And of course, in the 1970s, we had stagflation.
	Many people believe that this isn't just going to be a stagnant economy, but it's actually going to be going down.
	At the same time, we got inflation going up.
	And in both of these cases, both in the 1970s and right now, coming up in the 2020s, I think the cause of that inflation is the price of oil.
	Because that is the thing that underlies all real activity.
	Everything has to...
	It is so deeply embedded in all the things that we manufacture and consume, you know, petrochemicals and plastics and stuff.
	The graduate got one word for you.
	Plastic. Well, that's everywhere.
	And of course, we also burn the stuff to get everywhere.
	And we burn the stuff not only to power the grid, but we also burn it to go from place to place.
	And as we've created these long supply chains, each link of that chain is made out of petroleum.
	Whether you're talking about a train or a truck to get the products there for that next stage.
	All producers who control roughly 50% of global oil supplies reached a decision to reduce their output beginning in May until the end of 2023.
	And of course, the Fed is just exacerbating all this with their economic policies.
	Riyadh, Saudi Arabia capital, said it will cut its production by 500,000 barrels a day.
	Iraq said the same thing.
	They go through UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, Oman.
	You total all this stuff up, they're daily cuts that they're going to do.
	And they're saying they're going to cut 1.1 million barrels per day.
	That's a lot of oil being taken out of the market.
	Except that when you put this in perspective, When Biden pulled Russia's oil off of the market, and again, we know that it came back in through the black market in various ways, so there was a lot of leakage in his sanctions, still are, and you could say that maybe that oil is still on the market.
	But what Biden did was he, with his sanctions, Russia was exporting net exports to 5.1 million barrels per day.
	So everybody said, well, look at what OPEC is doing.
	And I said, Biden is more damaging than OPEC. I said that at the very beginning.
	His sanctions, more damaging than OPEC. And his sanctions have, you know, even though the energy is, you know, the oil is leaking out to other places, everybody's paying more for it now, you see?
	Biden's move was incredibly inflationary.
	Just ask the people in Europe, trying to heat their homes.
	And so, even though they can get some of this stuff, and that's not even talking about what they did with natural gas in Europe, blowing up the pipelines.
	That's even bigger.
	So, Biden single-handedly shut down more oil, five times more oil, than OPEC did, and then took out natural gas as well.
	So, the Fed, of course, is doing everything they can to make it even worse.
	Oil prices are soaring after Saudi Arabia leads coordinated OPEC plus cuts.
	Totally more than a million barrels per day.
	And so, you know, as we look at the economic fallout from that, we're going to have Tony Ardenman on shortly.
	Gold is skyrocketing because everybody knows that we're going into inflation with all this stuff.
	The cuts announced in October of some two million barrels per day.
	Had come on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections in which soaring prices were a major issue, Biden vowed at the time that there would be consequences, but there weren't any consequences.
	Why? Because Biden wants us strangled on energy.
	So that he can push his lockdown agenda so that he can take things away from us.
	And the joke is both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia denied any political motives in the dispute.
	It's all political. It's all geopolitical.
	And they are...
	By doing that, not only did he...
	He raised the prices of things in Europe, but he also pushed people away from the U.S. dollar as reserve currency, and that was what Rubio was complaining about.
	Rubio doesn't care about inflation getting out of control.
	He doesn't care how it's going to harm us with the fiat dollar, no longer as a reserve currency.
	He doesn't care about any of that. All he cared about was he said, hey, if we don't have the reserve currency status, we're not going to be able to do sanctions to people.
	Well, that's exactly how you're losing it, because you're weaponizing it.
	So, they're not going to fix anything.
	And you better start making preparations for yourself.
	Again, we'll talk about it when Tony gets here.
	WiseWolf.gold, and he's got a link, DavidKnight.gold, to get there, where you can get gold, silver, even Bitcoin.
	Bullard, St.
	Louis Fed President James Bullard, admits that the OPEC cuts may make the Fed's job a little more difficult.
	That was a surprise, he said.
	Didn't see that coming. These people know everything, don't they?
	Don't they know how to fix everything, and they didn't see that coming?
	The central bank is already trapped and it's desperately looking for an excuse to halt its tightening campaign.
	Because regional banks desperately need a lower Fed funds rate to short circuit the relentless deposit drain, which will not stop and which will lead to more bank failures and resolutions until their deposit rates can at least match those of the Fed. which will not stop and which will lead to more Again, it is deliberately engineered.
	I am absolutely convinced.
	There's absolutely no way they may not have seen that OPEC was going to cut production.
	But they certainly know what happens when they raise interest rates.
	And they know because you have people in all these banks whose job it is to do risk management for the bonds.
	They know how the banks are interacting with them.
	They know how the banks had to invest in the funds, the Fed bonds and the Fed funds and things like that.
	So when they rapidly raise the interest rates faster than they've ever done it before and continue to do it, What they're doing is they're just destroying the portfolio and the balance sheet of these different banks.
	And they have absolutely no concern about doing that.
	Narrow, narrow way, narrow gate ministry says, I don't think OPEC even cares.
	These miscreants have been pushing their tyranny agenda on the Saudis, or their tranny agenda on the Saudis, and have angered them.
	They're moving away from the dollar to the yuan, and BRICS are also employed.
	Absolutely. And as one person pointed out, they don't see the world as, you know, different power brokers.
	Most of the countries are just trying to get along on their own.
	And they see the U.S. bullying them, whether it's over trainees or whether it's over, you know, fill in the blank.
	They're bullying them.
	And they don't like the bullying.
	And at this point in time, everybody is ready for the American empire to end, globally.
	And they don't realize how bad the Chinese are going to be.
	That's the key thing. Yeah, let's turn the whole world into Tiananmen Square.
	But that's going to be the consequence of all this stuff.
	So you had U.S. Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, said the Biden administration is not looking to eminently restore the supply of the country's strategic petroleum reserves.
	They didn't want to stock it back up.
	They don't want us to have any reserves, you see.
	And even when things ease off a little bit, They don't want to put in what they stole last year, and they pulled it out of that for election purposes.
	I talked about how few times it's been used.
	It's only been used three or four times.
	And in those particular cases, it was for a real emergency, like a hurricane coming through and taking out refineries and things like that in the Gulf area, Gulf of Mexico area, and Louisiana.
	But, you know, they used the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for something like that.
	Biden used it for political purposes.
	They temporarily lower gas prices just before the election.
	But they also don't want to replace it either.
	They want to take what you've got and replace it with nothing.
	And that's what they're offering essentially by electrifying everything.
	Put everything on the grid. And then shut down the grid.
	You know, we're not going to replace your gas range with anything that you like.
	We're going to make it so unaffordable that you can't afford it.
	And then we're going to eventually ration the electricity through the grid.
	So even if the grid is up, it's going to be rationed to you.
	So the Chinese papers blaming America for the production cut, not necessarily due to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve situation, said the Chinese government is generally blaming U.S. hegemony.
	For antagonizing the rest of the world.
	And of course, we know that is what they're doing, right?
	No question about it, and everybody sees it.
	So I hope these new things that we have are going to meet our needs, but I have a lot of concerns that they won't.
	If we look at General Motors, and they've got a new electric Hummer.
	For the first quarter, they sold this stuff.
	They only sold two of them.
	We're not talking about how many of these things they sold in a day or a week or a month.
	We're talking about a quarter.
	And we're not talking about 2,000 vehicles or 200 vehicles?
	We're talking about two.
	Two of these.
	And, of course, Biden has told the automakers that he expects that electric vehicles are going to make up 50% of their new vehicle sales by 2030.
	So does that mean that General Motors is going to sell four cars?
	Can we extrapolate that data out?
	Now, Fox News is saying that the issue is supply and not demand.
	They said GM is still ramping up production, and the Hummer EV was hit with recall late last year to address an issue with its battery packs that could allow water to seep into them.
	Oh, well, you know, that's not much of a problem, is it?
	Water, that's pretty harmless, except that you get water and electric batteries, and it incinerates the Hummer and everything else around it because it's got a huge number of batteries there.
	So, of course, all cars, electric or not, have production issues, they said.
	But still, to only get two cars sold within four months is pretty embarrassing.
	Let me tell you something. This is two cars that were sold.
	This is not two cars that were built.
	If they got production issues, that's one thing.
	We've seen cars that people wanted and lined up to buy or ordered on day one.
	And then it taking a very long time before anybody received any deliveries.
	That's what happens when people want to buy what you've got or can buy what you've got.
	But if they don't want to buy it, it just sits there.
	So we're going to take a quick break.
	And when we come back, Tony Arterburn is going to be joining us.
	I haven't talked to Tony for a couple of weeks.
	And boy, gold has just gone crazy.
	So we will be right back.
	Stay with us. Decoding
	the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	The Common Man. . .
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	TheDavidKnightShow.com Joining us now is Tony Arterman, wisewolf.gold, and he has kindly set up davidknight.gold to take you there as a listener, so he knows that he came from me.
	But it's been a really busy couple of weeks for Tony, and the gold market's kind of going crazy.
	We've gone north of $2,000 an ounce.
	Are we still there today? Yes, still over 2,000 an ounce.
	Wow. It's good to see you, David.
	Thanks for having me on.
	Well, thanks for coming on. It's always great talking to you.
	Of course, we've been warning people about this for the longest time.
	It's now unfortunately becoming a reality.
	I was just talking about how only two Hummers sold.
	They don't even talk about the price of them now.
	But the average price of new cars, this is The Hill talking about it, so they've now become luxury items.
	If you look at the average monthly car payment, a five-year loan is now $723 a month in March.
	I mean, that's crazy. But that's something that's been going on for a long time.
	And, of course, there's other things happening in the automobile industry where the government is artificially trying to boost the price, but they're trying to do that to all of the necessities in our life.
	You know, pretty soon you're going to have As a luxury item, a cooking range in your home or something like that.
	It's crazy what they're doing. Absolutely.
	And that just stems from inflation.
	By the way, I think you should title this clip, Anti-Vaxxer Joins David Knight to Discuss De-Dollarization.
	Everything should be bracketed by that.
	I love the beginning of the show when you're talking about RFK Jr.
	And that kind of bleeds over into this because we can't talk about the truth.
	We can't talk about the underlying causes of inflation.
	It's It's, you know, in school, it's kind of magical.
	It just happens, you know, and you always hear about, oh, my grandfather could go to the movies for a quarter, you know, and have a hamburger or nickel, and you just kind of accept the fact that things go up in price, but you don't understand what commodities are, and that's not taught in school.
	You don't get to learn about the 19th century and how there was no inflation.
	I mean, if you... I talk about this all the time, but if you were in the time of George Washington and you bought a pair of shoes while he was president in 1902, those shoes cost the same thing.
	They've done the graphs on it, and you can see there was no inflation with the bimetallic standard.
	So that's never discussed because, again, with the fiat currency system, The fake that is built into our reality, the politicians, the wars, the news, all of the distractions, all of the evil, all of the lies track back to that.
	They need that system.
	And so you're just taught to, well, let's kind of go back to the 70s, David.
	You remember this better than anybody.
	I remember it better than I do today.
	That's how I'm getting all the time.
	I know, because you talk about this time period a lot, and so do I, because it was so pivotal.
	You look at when Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971.
	What happened the next couple of years was astonishing.
	We had the first trade deficit in this country, and we never ran a trade surplus again.
	But what happened after that was the emergence of all these financial products.
	They created the IRAs.
	They created the 401ks.
	You know, the TV commercials started slowly creeping in that you should invest because back then it was the American dream was owning a home.
	You could put your dollars into savings.
	And again, that would still be a dollar, you know, 10, 20, 30 years later, but it's not that way anymore.
	That's why you have all these products.
	That's why you have, again, the distraction.
	Of inflation is what we're really talking about here.
	And you're not getting to the core matter.
	You know, why does your car cost more?
	Why do your groceries cost more?
	Is it because these things are more valuable or is it because you lost purchasing power?
	And that's what the mainstream is never going to tell the people.
	Yeah, and of course, you know, I talk all the time about how we are regulated without representation because you have these bureaucracies just creating these arbitrary rules and pushing them out to us.
	What's the process? Well, you know, we have a comment period.
	We tell you what we're going to do and we let you comment on it.
	Okay, what does that do? Well, nothing, you know.
	I mean, we're going to do whatever we want.
	So we have regulation without representation.
	Right. But that regulation, if it's going to raise the price of cars, and the cars are needlessly expensive, and we don't have a choice of buying a cheaper car because they prohibit it, then that really is a form of taxation without representation.
	That regulation becomes a form of taxation without representation.
	So that's where we are with all this stuff.
	And as we look at this, and as everybody is now...
	We turn the corner, I guess, on gold.
	I don't know if it's going to continue to go straight up.
	A lot of people are saying that, but nothing ever continues to go straight up.
	There'll be ups and downs. But a lot of people are talking about how the commodity exchange is in even worse shape than some of these banks that have failed.
	And we've talked about this before, the difference with paper gold and paper silver.
	It's easy to buy into those things with a brokerage account or something like that, but is there really anything there?
	And that really is a question.
	Is there really anything behind these things, especially since a lot of this is coming out of Shanghai?
	Do you really trust that they've got the gold there to back up the paper certificates that they're selling, or are they just another form of derivatives?
	Well, I'll just give you an example.
	I go into the back office of two different major wholesalers, one of them being what you would call the trading floor in Dallas, like the main supplier, and you have to be a dealer to have access.
	I can go in there right now and just see a sea of red where it's going to show delays or not available.
	Now, you can also go onto a paper exchange and you can buy as many certificates as you want.
	So I will put those two things together, juxtapose that.
	I think therein lies...
	The issue is that you've got, and I think some analysts have, and I can't confirm this, but some analysts have said that for every one ounce of physical silver that exists in the ETFs, there's 250 ounces sold or something like that.
	It's a major disparity, David.
	And so in real time, and it is unfortunate, and I've warned people about this before, it is unfortunate that when gold goes up, I get busier.
	I don't like that.
	I think you should be paying attention when there's a lull and there's more supply and there's more variety.
	I'm happy to help. But I warned my people here at the shop.
	I said, I've been in this business for years now.
	When this starts ticking up, we're going to get really busy.
	And we do, and we're happy to have the business.
	But I think we're in a trend now, David, that And going back to when gold broke its all-time high, I was filling in for you in August of 2020.
	As a matter of fact, I had Gerald Salente on that day, of all people.
	But we were talking about that, and this was, I think, a big moment.
	And we look at the damage that's been done since August of 2020 to our currency, to our economy, to our supply chain.
	It should be even higher.
	But there's been so much manipulation.
	And again, I think this kind of goes back to the paper markets.
	But now you're in a level, I think, where it's undeniable.
	There's several articles out right now on the central bank gold buying.
	It's breaking all kinds of records.
	Hang on, let me ask you real quick.
	What did it get up to in August of 2020?
	It was, I think, just past 2060 and some change, and I think that had to do on the overnight trading, but it was right in that area.
	And we're pretty close to that now or above it, right?
	Well, we got to 2023 or so in the last 48 hours, and I just...
	We got to 2023, that's right.
	We're at 2009. Right now.
	And it's down $11.32 since open, but still breaking that $2,000.
	And, you know, this is becoming normal.
	If you go back to the year 2011, that's when gold almost got to $2,000, right at $2,000.
	And I remember that because my dad had had a decent amount of gold holdings that he had for, you know, he bought, you know, gold eagles going back to the 90s.
	So, you know, they were cashing those in and paying bills with it.
	And I thought, well, okay, I'm paying attention to gold now.
	And anyway, it's doing the same thing again, except this time, there is no calming it down.
	Last time they had, Ben Bernanke came out and said, we're not going to do TARP again.
	We're not going to bail out again.
	We're going to better regulate the system.
	And so silver was at $50 an ounce.
	Gold was at $2,000 an ounce in 2011.
	And they just slowly dissipated.
	And there's been that slow rise back up to where we are now, except now, When gold's breaking 2,000, it stays there for a while, and it comes back down a little bit, but you're not getting the floor like you used to, and I don't think you're going to, and that really comes down to what central banks are doing.
	Yeah. And of course, central banks have bought into it in record amounts this last year.
	Unlike, you know, now people are buying into it.
	And that's the whole thing, you know, as something starts to go up, you know, the psychology is that, well, you know, it's going to continue to go up.
	And so we've got to catch that train before it leaves the station.
	When it's down low and people can buy in at a low level, then say, well, I guess nobody wants this stuff, so I guess I don't want it either.
	That's the psychology that everybody has.
	It is psychology, yeah. But, you know, that's why I think it's a good thing, this ongoing program that you have there of the Wolfpack where people just buy it on a regular ongoing basis, you know, spread it out over a period of time.
	And it's going to help to average it out over a period of time.
	Because we're looking at the long view.
	We know what's going to happen in the long view.
	We don't know exactly how this is going into time.
	And we could have something happen and drop it down a couple hundred dollars or something an ounce in the near future.
	But in the long term, it's going to go up because of their policies and because of reality.
	You look at these markets.
	And at some point, it's going to be like the Looney Tunes character that has been running on air and looks down and sees that there's nothing there.
	There's no fiat underneath him.
	I think at some level they understand, especially the military-industrial complex, because the lifeblood of that of the American empire is the dollar.
	I talk about this often, but there was that war game scenario that the Pentagon ran on a Gen Z Bitcoin revolt.
	Against the dollar. They ran this a few years ago.
	I talked about it on my show.
	So they're looking at that.
	Tell us about that.
	What happened with that? Well, it was just something the Pentagon had started running simulations on what to do if an entire generation, if there was this big popular wave of anti-dollar sentiment.
	How would they react militarily with the forces around the world?
	What would that do? Mm-hmm.
	And not a lot of the details were released or some of the findings of the simulation.
	I just thought it was an interesting headline because I'm like, well, they're paying attention.
	Yeah. Because that's what drives the life force of the American Empire, and we've dominated for so long.
	But, David, we did a bait-and-switch.
	And, again, you look at history, and I won't go over every detail, but Alexander the Great united the known world at the time under a silver standard.
	And that's one of the things that put his empire together.
	Julius Caesar did the same thing under Rome.
	And again, decline always follows and it goes hand in hand with debasement of currencies.
	And every Roman emperor, the debased currency, and you talked, it started with Nero, by the way.
	Nero really started to debase the currency.
	And you talk about the similarities between Biden and Nero all the time.
	I thought I'd bring that up.
	But you fast forward, the same thing with the British Empire.
	They had a gold standard in the 19th century.
	The sun never set on the British Empire.
	And then all of a sudden, it did.
	And it became an aircraft carrier for the United States of America.
	And we had the gold standard. We had the currency.
	Gold was pegged to the dollar at $35 an ounce, and that lasted until 1971.
	Ever since then, every country around the world has adopted a fiat currency.
	I don't know if you've ever seen the chart, David, of Someone's done the total debt of the world, global currency debt of the world, and it's from the time of the birth of Christ all the way to the modern era, and you see little spikes like the Industrial Revolution and the Renaissance and so on and so forth, and then all of a sudden there's this massive up and to the right, and that is after 1971.
	I mean, just unprecedented amounts of debt.
	So we're in a debt spiral, I believe.
	And a lot of these countries want to get away from the dollar.
	It was initiated by the dollar.
	I think that's going to blow up in our face.
	And we weaponized it.
	The sanctions, we have 40 sanctions in 36 different countries.
	Biden, especially with the sanctions on Russia, pushing Russia further into the arms of China.
	The most traded currency in Russia, David, is the yuan.
	Yeah, that's right.
	It used to be the dollar.
	And so we're deep. Here's the headline.
	I've got two different stories right here.
	The word that you're looking for is de-dollarization, right?
	Right here at Zero Hedge, same thing, de-dollarization.
	So that's what you're looking for, and you're wondering why the price of gold and other things are going up.
	It's de-dollarization.
	I think we're just at the beginning of this story.
	It's going to be, along with central bank digital currency, David, it's going to be one of the most...
	Historically relevant and, I think, important stories of our time.
	I agree. Yeah, it's interesting you talk about the rise of all vampires and the debasement of the currency.
	It seems to me like that is also in sync with moral debasement, you know, the Roman Empire.
	When I look at where we are right now, I feel like we're really on the cusp of hyperinflation, kind of like the Weimar Republican.
	And, you know, we're like the Weimar Republic in a moral way as well, morally degenerate as well.
	I mean, it is kind of interesting to see that gold over the last month has fallen in inventories by 2.1%.
	Silver that we don't usually talk about has dropped quite a bit as well.
	Of course, you also sell silver there.
	What's going on in the silver market?
	Well, silver is one of those interesting commodities that I think is undervalued.
	I don't think it's pegged properly, even geologically.
	The reason that we had a gold-silver ratio the way that it was was based on geology.
	I didn't know that until recently.
	Basically, there's 17 ounces of silver predicted or estimated for every one ounce of gold in the earth.
	So that's why we had usually between a 10 to 1.
	In the United States, we had a 16 to 1.
	So it took 16 ounces of silver to make one ounce of gold.
	And that was that way until 1933, David.
	And then when Franklin Roosevelt had you turn in your gold, From executive order so they could give it to the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland.
	That's what happened. The gold-silver ratio started to skew.
	And now, I mean, you look at March of 2020.
	When Donald Trump signed his executive order to sign the country over to Anthony Fauci, the gold-silver ratio went to 125 to 1.
	It took 125 ounces of silver to make one ounce of gold.
	Now I think we're somewhere around, I don't have my calculator for me, but I think we're somewhere around 84.
	Hmm. So it's been 10 to 1, 16 to 1 for most of history.
	And in the modern era with the paper markets and with manipulation, that has gone to some crazy, I think, really, I think they're fake numbers.
	I'm not telling you that silver is going to go up in value and you should go buy a lot of silver, but you should pay attention to that ratio.
	I think it's unnatural. I think there will be a resetting of that very soon with the BRICS nations and with Because they're going to create their own currency.
	The Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, soon to be Saudi Arabia, they're going to create their own what they call a basket of commodities to back up the currency.
	So the fiat currency dominance over the world, I think, is coming to an end, and there's going to be more competition.
	That's really what's in store for the dollar, and that's what will create the environment for hyperinflation.
	I think that's very true because, you know, Saudi Arabia is focused on production of oil, petrochemicals, things like that, and, of course, China production of everything, and using those, understanding how fundamental energy is.
	But these countries, unlike the United States, are focused not on fiat economies, but they're focused on real production of things at the moment.
	So, yeah, I think it is going to be based on that.
	Let me ask you this. In that tweet that I read from RFK Jr., He said, and that was yesterday, 5th of April, he said that was the anniversary of FDR confiscating gold in 1933.
	I didn't realize that was the anniversary of that.
	What happened when he confiscated gold?
	So that'd be 90 years. What happened with silver?
	What did he do with silver? He confiscated the gold.
	Did he confiscate the silver as well?
	No. Didn't confiscate the silver.
	Interesting. That's another story.
	The senators that were like the Nevada senator, I think maybe both of them, there was such a...
	A lot of silver there. The mining, they wanted the government to buy more silver.
	They were always working deals with FDR to keep silver in circulation.
	No, there wasn't a confiscation of silver, but it was more regulated and the government bought more.
	I think that's why you had the last run of the peace dollar was right after that.
	It was in 1935.
	They ran the last issuance of the silver dollar.
	That's the last silver dollar we ever made, folks.
	It was in 1935.
	Again, you can look at our...
	Debasement of currency.
	When Kennedy was murdered by the deep state, the next year his face was on the last silver half dollar.
	I always thought that was ironic because he had the executive order on silver trying to peg it to a silver certificate with some of the notes he was making direct from the treasury.
	Anyway, LBJ took the The silver out of the coinage, and that's what led to Nixon taking us off the gold standard.
	So they all flow together.
	They like to do that kind of stuff, you know?
	I mean, you look at why is Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, right?
	He fought the central bank.
	So it's kind of like a victory lap by, you know, putting JFK's face on the silver half dollar and putting Andrew Jackson's face on the $20 bill.
	It's like, yeah, we got you. You know?
	I think they planned that.
	And it's the very last one.
	The very last silver half dollar has JFK's image on it.
	Yeah, I remember those.
	I remember those coming out when I was a kid.
	I had a few of them. I might still have a couple of them around.
	I don't know. But, yeah.
	So... Let's talk a little bit about the RFK Jr.
	thing and CBDC. I think one of the most positive things about him throwing his hat in the ring, as I said, before this, we only had Republicans that were coming out and talking about this.
	And now to have a Democrat talk about it.
	So now if you've got people on both sides that are running on this, you've got DeSantis as a Republican talking about it.
	You've got RFK Jr.
	as a Democrat talking about it, I think that's a very healthy thing.
	And we need to talk about this, and we need to raise public awareness.
	And, you know, I understand everybody's got their flaws, and I'm not getting behind any particular candidate, but these issues are very important, and I'm glad to see people coming out and saying the right thing about these issues and raising the visibility of these issues.
	What's your take on all this?
	No, I'm like you. If we were talking in a break room in 2016 about what to do if Donald Trump gets elected, I would agree with you that we applaud him when he does well and we criticize him when he doesn't.
	You don't get behind candidates, you get behind issues.
	And if somebody like RFK, I don't agree with him on the environment, I think he's misled on that, but he's right about vaccines.
	And I think as he grows older and exposes more, I think maybe he's open to suggestions on other things that could be things he needs to pay attention to.
	That's great. I think we need to applaud that.
	So much of our, you know this, I mean the media is controlled, parties are controlled.
	George Washington warned us about it.
	He called it evil. The party system, how it was going to destroy us.
	And it has. It's the place where ideas go to die.
	It's partisan politics.
	It's where the truth goes to die.
	It's where opposition goes to die.
	They have us controlled with these two party systems.
	And I think it's great RFK Jr. coming out and talking about central bank digital currency and talking about vaccines.
	We need more of that.
	And, you know, sometimes courage is contagious.
	Maybe it might inspire somebody else on the periphery that has a name to get in and add to the debate.
	You know, one of the things that if you read a little bit of history on the year 2000 for the election with the Reform Party, one of the saddest things was Pat Buchanan had a had a great start and he was looked to be the Reform Party nominee.
	And his only goal was to pull high enough to get into the debate because he thought if he could get into the debate, he could start a national conversation.
	And Donald Trump came in and ruined it and kept him from getting a solid nomination, kept threatening to run for the Reform Party nomination, called Pat Buchanan a Hitler lover.
	So that's the last time we had anybody that was going to have any access to, the debates to change the narrative.
	Before that was Ross Perot.
	And that was a huge shift in American politics was Ross Perot talking about Well, I was just talking about the elites and talking about NAFTA. They called it the giant sucking sound.
	I mean, I was 12 years old watching that.
	I was fascinated. I thought, well, why couldn't this guy win?
	You know, it opens the imagination to people.
	That's what they don't want. They want cookie cutter.
	They want controlled opposition.
	So I think it's wonderful when somebody comes out and talks about things that we care about and what's really, truly important.
	So I applaud them.
	Yeah, and of course it is difficult to penetrate this system.
	Somebody asks, so why is he running as a Democrat?
	Well, he's got a lot of family history there.
	The Kennedy name is going to be magic to a lot of Democrats for whatever reason.
	But look, talking about Pat Buchanan getting into the debates, he's got a poll at a certain level, and these are the people who run the polls.
	The people who run the debates are the same people who run the polls.
	And who's that? That's the Republican-Democrat party.
	They're going to make sure that, um, that you're not going to get in the debates.
	Uh, they will raise those levels up or down or whatever they need to do to make sure that they're going to be the ones in there and that you're not going to be there if you're an independent or a third party candidate.
	But isn't it interesting to see, uh, you know, Donald Trump's role in that, as you just pointed out, uh, how he seems to always come in at just the right time to, uh, uh, be the disruptor I called him the underminer.
	You know, the movie's incredible.
	You know, I am the underminer.
	Nothing is beneath me.
	And that really has been the role that he's played for a very long time, hasn't it?
	He's playing it now.
	It's really convenient.
	These headlines and the timing of all this.
	You wonder at what level of the PSYOP do they even know that they're in?
	They're so decompartmentalized.
	I don't know what we're watching here with him, but he always inserts himself, especially when we need to be talking about anything else but him.
	Yeah, that's right. It's all about him.
	It's just him. And now you're saying, hey, we need to defund the FBI. It's politicized.
	Yeah, you were president.
	Why didn't you do that then? I mean, they were even attacking him as president.
	But it's always that he's only going to act, as a former lawyer said, and Out of his own perceived self-interest.
	But again, you know, when he starts throwing this stuff out there, he wanted, you know, there was a report that he wanted to be pictured in handcuffs, you know, walked around.
	And they didn't do that.
	They didn't give him what he wanted. So he's now done a t-shirt of himself in handcuffs.
	And he's selling them. And so I think that those reports are true because, you know, even though they didn't give him that photo opportunity, he used Photoshop to give himself that opportunity.
	He wants to present himself that way, yeah.
	I know that you bought one of the NFTs, didn't you, David?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. No, we made some of our own.
	Actually, my son, Whistler, who is doing the war today, he did some great Trump NFTs when all that stuff was coming out.
	Put him in his Buzz Lightyear and other things.
	You know, they interviewed him right after his arraignment, and he said he talked about the dollar losing status.
	He's like, frankly, you know, that's going to be the biggest story.
	We've never had a defeat like this in 200 years.
	And all I kept thinking, I was reading this, and I go, but you printed 40% of all the dollars ever made.
	Yeah. That's why it's losing.
	It really did like 40%.
	That's why I say you talk about the last four years we printed or made, there's not enough paper, but you created 80% of all the dollars ever created from the beginning of our history till now.
	So there's 80% of the new currency creation.
	Well, 40% was Donald Trump.
	Yeah. $3.7 trillion.
	I talked about it at the time, you know, a pal was saying, when he's talking, they said, so you're going to print some more money.
	Well, we don't print it. We couldn't print it.
	Just as you said, we couldn't print that.
	And so I thought, you know, how big would that stack be?
	You know, if you had fresh new $1 bills that were compacted, you know, straight out of the presses, and it would go to the moon and part of the way back.
	Yeah. Yes. And if you'd stretch them out end-to-end, it reaches the sun.
	Oh, there you go. 93 million miles.
	Yeah, they're done. I read that in Jim Mars' book, A Trillion Dollar Conspiracy, years ago, and it just boggled my mind.
	I'm like, wait a minute. It'll go that far?
	Like, yeah, that's because they can't print that much, obviously.
	That's how they get you these fact-checkers.
	I'll get fact-checked like, that's not true.
	80% weren't printed.
	And I thought, well, okay, I just didn't use the word printed.
	You know, that's what the issue is.
	That's how they get you. That's crazy.
	And I remember at the time, the only person opposing him in Congress was Thomas Massey.
	And he said, well, we've got to primary him out.
	Well, now Massey has returned the favor.
	They didn't primary him out.
	And he is supporting DeSantis.
	Let's primary out Trump.
	Thomas Massey is, I think, the guy who's been most consistently on the right side of anything in Congress.
	So tell us a little bit of what's happening there at Wise Wolf.
	Well, like you said, we've been very busy.
	We're fortunate that way and a proud sponsor of this magnificent program.
	You go to DavidKnight.Gold and we had a lot of outreach from David Knight listeners.
	It's always great to Here at the shop, when I answer the phone, I go, is this Tony?
	I hear that all the time. Yeah, this is Tony.
	I do answer the phone. Kenzie doesn't answer it on her end, and she works off-site.
	Most of the new trades will go through Kenzie because she does a magnificent job.
	She finds stuff I never have found in my career.
	Gets people great deals.
	I'm really proud of her. Finding things for Wolfpack.
	We're on our way to 1,000 members.
	That's been my goal. We reached a milestone of 500 some time ago for Wolfpack members.
	And the cancellation rate, David, is almost nothing.
	I mean, it registers, but most people cancel to upgrade.
	They cancel from a lone wolf at $50 to go to a warrior wolf at $125.
	So we're seeing that. The deals that come in and you get a detailed invoice, you get to see what the competition's doing, and there's variety there because every month it's going to be different.
	I did a lot of buy-ins this month on behalf of Wolfpack members from different exchanges and individuals.
	We've got fractional silver, fractional gold, some bars, all kinds of sovereign coins from around the world, whether it's Canadian Maple Leafs or Austrian Philharmonics.
	We've got a good variety there, so we're really proud of Wolfpack.
	I'm still working on the website, going to create a community there.
	I'm thinking about Telegram because everything else seems to be censored in some level, so we're going to be careful what we set up in the first place so other members can talk to each other.
	But it's really a community, and the more people that join, the stronger we get.
	Oh, and I will add this. It took me some time, but I did get access to goldbacks.
	I had a lot of people ask me about goldbacks, and those are paper currency notes with gold embedded in them.
	There are several states, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, New Hampshire, I believe.
	So we have now a broker.
	We went through a wholesaler.
	We have access to multiple states, and I'm going to be giving away, and anybody who goes and joins Wolfpack today or through the rest of the month, I'm going to give free goldbacks to.
	Kenzie's going to get mad at me because I told her I was going to do this.
	I need to send the wire later today and buy some goldbacks.
	But it's just a fraction of a gram of actual gold in each note.
	And I think they start at like a dollar level, and then it kind of just correlates to what a dollar would be in gold or something like that.
	I've bought them before from private manufacturers, but never ones that can actually be traded as currency.
	In those states. And a lot of people are interested in those.
	So those will be going in Wolfpack this month.
	And again, complimentary.
	I'll put some in there for anybody who joins from today onward.
	We'll get... Some new gold backs in their package, for sure.
	That's really cool. Somebody sent one of those to me once, and I looked at it, and it's like, wow, what is this?
	I looked it up, and as you point out, in those certain states, you can use it like currency, and they have a small enough amount of gold that you're not having to do $2,000 transactions with everything.
	It's just enough gold, and if you melted it, you'd get that I mean, a fraction of a gram.
	I think some of them are like a six-tenth of a gram.
	So you look at a gram today of gold, of 24-karat gold, would be over $60.
	And that's meltable gold.
	So that's just a fraction of a fraction of a gram, and it's just put into the notes.
	It's a clever idea.
	I've not done a lot of that type of business in my career, but we're starting to get people asking.
	So I said, well, I'll get it.
	And it took me a while, but I finally did.
	So we're going to offer that as a promotion here for the rest of April.
	That's cool. And, you know, there's a lot of things like that that I've seen as well.
	You know, you had it as well, the little chiclet silver that you can, you know, you buy a sheet of it and it's this amount and you can break off little parts of it.
	I think you're going to see a lot of innovation like that if, you know, the dollar gets into big trouble.
	I should say when it gets into big trouble.
	We even saw that back in the Depression.
	People were making wooden coins in some of the places for community coins, and people would exchange it just within that community.
	So I think you're going to see a lot of innovation coming there because we can do things that are going to make our lives practical, even as these people on Wall Street are coming up with these ridiculous innovations of derivatives and other fictional things.
	We can figure out how we can subdivide the real stuff, I think.
	That's going to be interesting to see what happens.
	It's always great to have you on.
	I really do appreciate your support of the program, Tony.
	Thank you so much. Have a good Easter weekend.
	You too. Thank you. Tony Arderman, wisewolf.gold.
	And, of course, he has set up davidknight.gold as well, so he'll know that you're coming from us.
	And I want to say with the Wolfpack thing, I want to thank Austin, who bought us in as part of a support package.
	He put us on to Wise Wolf, so I appreciate that.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

	The new number six, thank you for the tip on Rumble.
	It says, Happy Easter, David, Tony, and your families from the new prisoners.
	Excited to have America Unplugged here with us on Rumble.
	Absolutely. The new number six has a program there on Rumble as well, so check out that program.
	We got North American House Hippo.
	It says if you pay for your groceries from an app like Kroger or Target or Walmart and you look at your purchase history, it's shocking to see how much more we're paying now compared to just one or two years ago.
	It absolutely is. I mean, it's not just eggs.
	It's pretty much everything is that way.
	It says, I can't believe how easy it is for my wife and I to blow over $400 on a two-week shopping order at Publix, and it's just the two of us and our two dogs.
	Oh, I know how that is. We'll go down to the grocery store, and we'll get a small cart of stuff, and it'll be well over $100, and it's not expensive prepared food or anything like that.
	It's just kind of basics. And I can make all that stuff fit in the trunk of my Miata.
	Not a problem at all with room left over.
	Let's go back to the news here.
	I talked about the goat tree correction that we had in terms of what we were telling you the other day was that the sensors could trigger the lockdown of the brakes automatically.
	That's not the case yet, but...
	As one person mentioned, they're already working on that.
	The bigger issue, though, is the fact that by hacking into the...
	by not following any security procedures, any other automation that they do is only going to make this more dangerous.
	But it already is dangerous if you can hack into the system and you can set off alarms or turn the alarms off or do any of these other things, these critical systems.
	That makes a big issue.
	There was one other thing. The person who works on the railroad mentioned.
	He said, You're good to go.
	If it falls off, you're just creeping along anyway, so it usually isn't a problem.
	More of a nuisance to re-rail whatever fell off.
	Well, I still disagree with that.
	I lived in Texas where we had roads that were not maintained.
	They were allowed to degrade.
	And it became a real hazard.
	And I didn't build them up to the standards of what was being allowed on the roads.
	Where we lived, we had a lot of very heavy trucks filled.
	There were two rock quarries not too far from where we lived.
	And there's a lot of very, very heavy trucks.
	I don't think they did any weigh stations or anything.
	But I could see, even after one time they paved it, well, the 10 years we were there, they paved it once.
	And it wasn't too long after that, we had these hot days, triple-digit temperatures.
	And on a corner that was a tight corner, obviously the truck had slammed on the brakes and the asphalt was pushed up like a carpet.
	You know, you get on a carpet and you slide on it and it bunches it up.
	That's what it did. And the bottom line is that if you don't maintain your infrastructure, that's lazy and it's dangerous one way or the other.
	And I say that about the trains as much as the roads.
	I don't like this kind of apathetic milking of the infrastructure, coasting, if you will, on what other people have done in the past.
	And we see this everywhere in our infrastructure.
	They're not building roads, if anything, they're tearing them down.
	There's absolutely no interest at all on any level, you know, whether it's privately owned infrastructure like the railroads or whether it's government infrastructure.
	There's no interest in fixing it or adding more of it.
	And that's the big part of the problem.
	And so I still think that's a problem.
	But, yeah, it's that is a problem.
	And, of course, this cavalier attitude of cybersecurity is not something that is limited to the railroads, as we pointed out.
	You see this everywhere.
	We've seen it in pipelines.
	We're going to see it in the grids being hacked and all the rest of the stuff.
	And the reason that we did the report on it was as these people put these manuals up for everybody to see.
	The manuals have all the instructions about what you want.
	And it's not just Norfolk Southern.
	It's all these different railroads.
	They talk about how it works, and if they've even got a password there, the master password is also in the manual.
	It is a recipe for disaster, a recipe for mischief, and in this type of environment that we live in, you better believe that type of thing is going to be happening, because that's just the world that we live in.
	So that kind of lax attitude about cybersecurity is a very dangerous thing to have.
	And as he was contacting people to do something about it, neither corporations nor government cared to make this thing secure.
	There's no cost in putting in passwords.
	There's no cost in keeping the manuals off of the Internet for the public.
	That's just a no-brainer.
	And it just goes to show how lazy they are and how they've made this whole infrastructure system dangerous.
	And that's the corporations as well as the government.
	One person writes here, I've had three children leave the house in the last two years, but the grocery bill has stayed the same.
	Yeah. So, narrow way, narrow gate ministries do not be deceived.
	They're purposely collapsing the banking industry to steal what is left of the people's money and to usher in the CBDC to further the agenda of the beast system.
	Yeah, it'll be a number and the government will be your beast.
	North American House Hippo says, try going into a pawn or a coin shop Or onto eBay and buy silver or gold for spot.
	It ain't going to happen.
	You're going to pay at least a 50% premium to it.
	And so a lot of people are talking about the premiums on there.
	One person, KWD68, said they're crazy.
	eBay constitutional silver has gone from about $23 on the dollar to over $30 face value.
	I was in a coin shop and got 10 silver Canadian maple leaf coins last week.
	For $275.
	So, yeah, Jason Barker says, I'm back.
	He said, let's go down a little bit there for me.
	He says, Tony would get a kick out of my project.
	I'm building an old school pirate chest to keep my Wolfpack stuff in.
	Oh, that's good. That's good.
	And of course there is, let's see, Monero.
	They have some kind of, oh, they have PirateCoin.
	I don't know what's connected.
	There is Monero and there's also PirateCoin on the crypto side.
	And both of them have a kind of encryption.
	That means that they can't trace ownership through the Bitcoin, through the blockchain.
	And that is something that they can do with Bitcoin and all the rest of them.
	So you got a couple of, if you want to have anonymous transactions, you can do that with Monero, with PirateCoin.
	And I think PirateCoin's symbol was R or something like that, you know, like the pirate thing there.
	Narrowway Narrowgate Ministry says they used to work in the railroad as a freight conductor on a Class 1 road.
	If the American people knew the conditions of the tracks and the equipment, they would be appalled.
	Total decay of infrastructure.
	Yeah. Infrastructure wouldn't be crumbling, says KWD. If America spent money correctly, we will rebuild Ukraine, but we'll let the U.S. crumble.
	And that's been the case all the time.
	Look at how much money we left behind, how much money we spent, how much stuff we left behind, even pallets of cash in Afghanistan.
	But we won't do anything about our country.
	Well, we have an interesting interaction.
	I haven't talked about this. It's been floating around for over a week or so.
	This lawsuit, a couple of lawsuits, against J.P. Morgan executives that are connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
	And so you have, surfacing in this lawsuit, you have emails showing that J.P. Morgan executives were joking about Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia.
	Well, as a matter of fact, Donald Trump did that publicly.
	He said, yeah, he really loves the really young girls.
	You know what I mean? And, of course, he calls Ron DeSantis sanctimonious because he cared about the grooming of kids.
	Obviously, Donald Trump didn't care about it.
	Jeffrey does it. We hang out together.
	We're friends. An amended complaint in New York on Monday, the U.S. Virgin Islands said that Epstein's behavior, quote, was so widely known at J.P. Morgan that senior executives joked about his interest in young girls, reports of Financial Times.
	They're battling two combined lawsuits over Epstein, J.P. Morgan is.
	One from the U.S. Virgin Islands, the other one is brought by an Epstein accuser known as Jane Doe, and the cases have a trial date that is set for October.
	Included in the filing is a 2008 email to Mary Erdos, a 27-year J.P. Morgan veteran who runs the Asset and Wealth Management Division, where Epstein was a client.
	However, they said that she always acted with the highest levels of integrity and professionalism in working with this pedophile.
	She was questioned under oath, and the Financial Times reported the longstanding executive Jamie Dimon, or Dimon, depending on your perspective, will, emphasis on the different syllable there, he'll be testifying as well.
	Later in this month, a former J.P. Morgan executive, Jess Staley, will also be deposed.
	While he's not named in the above litigation, JPMorgan has sued him, claiming that he withheld details of his relationship with Epstein, including knowledge of the financier's sex crimes.
	Staley left J.P. Morgan to head up Barclays Bank in the U.K., only to leave amid an investigation over his relationship with Epstein.
	And he's denied any knowledge or involvement regarding Epstein's crimes.
	And yet he's being sued by them.
	The U.S. Virgin Islands has hit a lot of billionaires with subpoenas.
	You've got Sergey Brin.
	Google co-founder.
	Thomas Pritzker, part of the Pritzker family that has all the money with the Hyatts.
	And of course, Governor Pritzker in Illinois is a part of that family.
	And he's got a cousin, a tranny, a Who is a doppelganger for Governor Pritzker.
	He goes by the name of Jennifer.
	I've shown that picture many times.
	It looks like Jethro Bodine and Jethreen Bodine from the Beverly Hillbillies.
	The two of them, we put them side by side.
	I mean, it looks like the same person dressed up as a woman or as a man.
	So that's a Pritzker. There's also Michael Ovitz.
	Kind of interesting to see him in there and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, considering that he ran one of Hollywood's biggest talent agencies.
	And he had a stint at Disney as well.
	Oh, great place to groom people, isn't it?
	Michael Ovitz. I'm sure that was very useful for Epstein.
	J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is expected to be deposed under oath about Epstein.
	He banked with J.P. Morgan for 15 years.
	They finally cut ties with him in 2013.
	But of course, many of these other people, whether we're talking about Bill Gates or Donald Trump, they didn't cut their ties with Epstein in 2013.
	Jamie Dimon knew in 2008 that his billionaire client was a sex trafficker, argued U.S. Virgin Island attorney Mimi Liu during a March hearing in front of a Manhattan judge.
	So that's happening in Manhattan as well, but we don't pay any attention to that.
	Something else that I saw that I thought was interesting was after six years after the Vegas shooting, The FBI now says that the person that they pinned it on, Paddock, killed 60 people because he was angry at the casino.
	Well, this is kind of interesting because that was my first interaction with Steve Pachenik.
	He came on that show on a Thursday.
	That happened on a Sunday. And I had talked about it and talked to people who had been there and all the rest of the stuff, many people, for the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
	And then on Thursday, he was scheduled to come on.
	He set it up for the very last half hour of the show.
	And Steve Pachank didn't come on.
	And then finally they got a hold of him and he came on just for the final segment.
	And he tried to lay down the idea that nobody died.
	Not a single one. The whole thing is a fraud.
	And I said, well, I don't believe that.
	I don't believe that. I knew exactly what he was doing.
	I knew he was a CIA operative.
	And I knew, you know, by that time, all the Sandy Hook, nobody died at Sandy Hook stuff, and the lawsuit was there.
	I knew what he was trying to do to me.
	And just absolutely...
	Reprehensible. I never had him back on.
	Never had him back on. But I did get into it with him when he was pushing all of the Stop the Sting stuff.
	But when we go back and we look at this situation with Paddock, it reminds me very much what the FBI is doing, going back and looking at the anthrax false flag attack.
	They tried to pin that on a guy.
	And I've had on a couple of times the people from the Lawyers Committee for 9-11 Truth because they also see this anthrax attack and Dark Winter and the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act.
	They also see that as tied to 9-11.
	That this is the other shoe to drop two decades later, if you will.
	And so they continued to look at it.
	And of course, at the time, we were told that the anthrax attacks were the work of Iraq.
	And even the New York Times and Washington Post said that's not the case.
	Everybody realized right away.
	That both the strain of the anthrax as well as the delivery mechanism was a technology that only the United States had.
	And so they called it out on that.
	And so this whole thing just kind of sat there for a lot of years.
	And then finally, they tried to frame...
	A guy at one of these bioweapon facilities where they do gain of function and all the rest of this stuff.
	They tried to frame him, but they were unsuccessful in doing that.
	And then when he died five or six years later, they brought it back up again and pinned it on him when he was dead and couldn't defend himself.
	And that's what they're doing now with this.
	They wait five or six years.
	Oh, we've got new details that have emerged about Paddock.
	It looks like he was angry with the casino, so he shot 60 people.
	He had, apparently, says a fellow gambler said he had been banned from three Reno casinos, so that explained it, right?
	No? No, that doesn't explain the motive.
	As they point out, it's not even clear how the gambler even knew Paddock.
	This was discovered as part of a FOIA request.
	The Las Vegas police don't believe it.
	It's being put out there.
	The FBI has put this out.
	When you look at the way they put this information out, the way they sit on it, by the way, getting back to that anthrax attack, the people from the Lawyers Committee for 9-11 Truth Went back and interviewed a lot of people who were still around, because that was 20 years ago or so, and they thoroughly debunked it.
	As a matter of fact, additional investigations showed that not only did Iraq not have that technology, but it wasn't generally available in the United States at these bioweapon labs either.
	There were only two labs that had that, and of course these two labs were run by the CIA. The FBI was pushing that off on this guy they wanted to use as a Patsy.
	There was never any explanation for why Paddock would have done this.
	And of course, you know, again, when you look at the pictures of the evidence and everything, it gets even more suspicious.
	But Trump set the precedent for gun control by executive order based on the idea that he was, the thing that made that work was the bump stock.
	You know, it was all about the bump stock.
	I know it wasn't. There were so many questions about that.
	He had virtually no social media.
	He had no online presence.
	He didn't leave a note. He didn't leave a manifesto, which is typically what you see with mass shooters like you saw in Tennessee.
	He didn't give any indication that he would carry out the shooting to family members or to his girlfriend, a Filipino national.
	None of this, they had, again, I think the guy was a complete patsy.
	Now they're speculating on motive.
	We're going to take a quick break and we come back.
	We're going to talk about Colonial Williamsburg.
	And history. And the fourth turning.
	And they all tie together.
	It's Colonial Williamsburg.
	Well, we'll talk about this when I come back.
	A very interesting place to visit.
	But bring your own history with you.
	You take a look at what they built there, but don't listen to what they have to say.
	And I'll tell you when we come back.
	You can probably guess it. Analyzing
	The Globalist Next Move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Thank you.
	By the way, on Rockfan, John Henry 3777 says, this theory on paddock is 100% BS. On the casino floor in Vegas, at any given time, there are people losing way over $100,000.
	I know a girl who worked in a casino.
	I agree. I look at that Vegas thing.
	And everything about it is a lie.
	Except for the fact that people really did die.
	And that's what Steve Petrenic comes on.
	He comes on to attack.
	And for obvious purposes to do that.
	By the way, let me say this.
	Karen gave this to me.
	People were asking me yesterday, but the best way to support the program...
	And of course, Subscribestar has been good because it's something that you can set up and do it on a regular basis, even starting at $5 a month.
	And it can go up.
	We do have a couple of people who have supported us at the level of $200 a month.
	So I really do appreciate that.
	I can't thank them enough for that.
	But we just had something in the last couple of days that happened on Subscribestar.
	We had 19 pages.
	Of people that were removed.
	And we looked at this. We saw the number of subscribers significantly fall.
	I told Karen, and I kind of mentioned it, I said, well, maybe, you know, we've had some people who've subscribed on Rumble.
	I said, maybe it's moving.
	But it was so many people.
	And again, it was 19 pages worth of people.
	And it was stuff like, what they said was, the subscriptions haven't been paid for quite some time, canceled automatically.
	The user was contacted multiple times or something like that.
	So I don't know.
	That's kind of a...
	There's a boilerplate thing that's there.
	So I don't know. I mean, if people have decided that they don't want to support that way or they don't want to support the program, that's one thing.
	I mention it only because we've had people contact me in the past and say, oh, I didn't realize that my credit card had changed and it wasn't going through.
	And so, if it's not intentional, and if you thought that you were, you know, giving us $5 a month or something like that, and yet the credit card has changed and the number has changed and it's not going through, you might want to take a look at that if you'd like to support us.
	We really do appreciate it. Let's talk a little bit about Colonial Williamsburg.
	This commentary from Real Clear Politics says, Colonial Williamsburg is grappling with political correctness.
	Well, of course. And it's been a long time since we've been there.
	How long has it been? It's been about 20 years, I guess.
	You guys are much younger.
	When the boys were young, we used to go there frequently.
	I loved it because they did such a good job of reproducing these buildings, all of them, but especially two of them.
	The legislative building and the governor's mansion are just incredible to see the work that's there.
	And even, you know, the ends and everything else that they're doing like that, very authentic.
	The people, when they, it takes them forever to build a building because they go back and they use original tools and original techniques.
	And you can see the blacksmiths working.
	You can see the people making bricks, you know, during the summer.
	They'll get a bunch of clay and they're drying it and then they're baking it and all this other kind of stuff.
	So they do everything. We're good to go.
	We knew the place pretty well.
	It wasn't that far from where we lived in Raleigh.
	And then when we adopted Travis, it was an open adoption.
	It was a very young woman who was not able to take.
	She was still in high school.
	She couldn't take care of the kid.
	But instead of having an abortion, she put him up for adoption.
	And we found out.
	That she was in labor.
	It was up in Virginia. And so we went up there and I remember on the trip we stopped by there just to have dinner because, you know, we didn't know when he was going to be born.
	And so we always remember that.
	But going there and looking at it truly is interesting.
	And you get some interesting conversations.
	The people are actually building stuff.
	Will not stay in character.
	They'll answer your questions, you know, about working with metal or, you know, what they're doing with carpentry or stuff like that.
	But then they have people who will stay in character.
	These are the reenactors.
	But I saw this and I thought, yeah, I bet it's gotten really bad there.
	Because it was starting to trend that way way before our country got obsessed with all this critical race theory and diversity and inclusivity and all that rest of the stuff.
	They were starting to creep into that organization early.
	It was originally funded by the Rockefeller Institute.
	So there you go.
	But you can still go to these buildings and you can look at them and then you can talk to your kids and tell them what really happened.
	We used to go to the, they talk about the governor's palace, the capital, talking to trades and all the rest of it.
	So we used to go to the courthouse as well and they talk about what it was like.
	In court and how they had the stocks out front.
	So, you know, you had quick justice and quick punishment, and it was done publicly, so people got the message with that.
	And then they would talk about who got a chance to vote and other things like that, so I would always have some comments.
	At one point in time, one of these presentations was, They said, so what was the American Revolution about?
	And they wanted somebody to say taxation without representation.
	And I said, well, they fought because taxation is theft.
	It kind of took them back a little bit.
	They go, oh, well, no, not that exact.
	It's like, well, it is theft, you know.
	But anyway, I thought it would be kind of funny to heckle them.
	But what they're saying is that they now have new programs there that you can enjoy.
	You can now experience diverse voices.
	So they have now added a plethora of tours and performances that focus on African-Americans, women, slavery, and Native Americans, not on the founding of our country, right?
	So they've gone full 1619, if you will, I guess.
	On a given day, many of the events in Colonial Williamsburg fall into this area.
	The Paradox of Freedom Tour is one, and then they have another one called Created Equal.
	And as part of that, they tell you that the 13th Amendment prohibiting slavery and involuntary servitude, quote, except as punishment for a crime, unquote, They said that quickly became an avenue for the re-enslavement of black people, men in particular, through the prison system.
	Slavery by another name.
	Now let's not talk about Biden's mandatory minimums.
	Let's not talk about drug prohibition.
	Let's not talk about the slavery that they put us under with the technology.
	No, no, no. Let's build a racist resentment.
	Our government has been enslaving everybody and in the process of enslaving everybody.
	And all the governments are worldwide.
	In 2019, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation established a Gender and Sexual Diversity Research Committee, a specialty program that includes LGBT, They put on a play, Ladies of Langolin, about two women who eloped.
	Because we know how rampant LGBT and trainee stuff was in Colonial Williamsburg at the time, right?
	These people.
	They have left the path of history now.
	LGBT stories have long been ignored and untold, making the work of Colonial Williamsburg Gender and Sexual Diversity Research Committee so important.
	They pat themselves on the back.
	Finally, they have still some people who are portraying characters.
	They have a young George Washington.
	They have a George and Martha Washington, a James Madison person, a Patrick Henry.
	They have a Gowan pamphlet.
	Gowan pamphlet? I don't know who that is.
	Well, equal to George Washington and Patrick Henry.
	It's the first ordained black preacher in the country who helped to found Colonial Williamsburg's first Baptist church.
	Charming, humorous, he discussed the significance of the Great Awakening, and that was significant.
	A religious revival, a notable aspect of Williamsburg history, of course, is the fact that George Whitefield, who was part of that Great Awakening, that was cultural, philosophical undergirding of the revolution began there at Williamsburg.
	So they touch on this, but as they pointed out, the people who are Historical figures that laid the foundation for our society.
	We don't really talk about that kind of stuff because we're all about diversity and inclusivity.
	And so they're kind of given short shrift and their work is pushed to the back so they can do critical race theory.
	And so the visitor experience is devoted to learning history through the lens of group identity.
	Exactly. But everybody in a group, some groups are good, some groups are bad.
	Oh, wow. Some are created more equal than others, right, on Animal Farm.
	The absent element at Colonial Williamsburg is an emphasis on the accomplishment of the American Revolution and a cohesive explanation of the significance of Williamsburg.
	So this is history based on group identity.
	Not on great men.
	And of course, you know, we have different approaches to history.
	Some people see history as the way it's typically taught, as a succession of great men who have influenced things.
	And there's a lot of truth to that.
	There's also a cyclical aspect of it, and there's a lot of truth to that as well.
	The truth lies between all those things and in combination with those things.
	But it is interesting that the Commonwealth of Virginia has established...
	The American Revolution 250 Commission for the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, the Revolutionary War, and the independence of the U.S. The President and CEO of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is one of the members, but curiously, Mount Vernon is not.
	And they point out that Mount Vernon has upheld its standards of history and details Washington's accomplishments and They said it's even-handed, balanced, and receives a million visitors per year, but they are not going to be represented.
	So again, that's their opinion.
	I haven't been to Vernon to see that.
	But we don't want to talk about the character of Washington.
	We don't want to talk about the wisdom of Jefferson and Madison.
	No, we want to talk about how many people of which genders and skin colors and all the rest of this stuff were a part of this.
	We're in the fourth turning right now.
	We're in a time of history, and it's important to understand, as I said, what is coming at us.
	That's why it's important to look at the politics of the presidency, the issues that are there, and to see how these people are lining up, what they intend to do to come after us.
	But we need to understand that we're at a turning point like that.
	At this turning point, we can either recover liberty or we can lose it completely for at least four generations.
	Because it's going to, once this new, we're at a turning point that comes once every four generations, about every 80 years.
	And at this point, we are going to be, you know, society is going to be changed in a significant way.
	And it's going to remain that way.
	For another 70 or 80 years.
	So, think of it like an election, right?
	You want to set this out? Well, you're going to have to live with that person for several more years.
	Well, you're going to have to live with this society that they're imposing on us if we don't push back against it.
	And you know, when you look at the foundation of this, like I said, the Great Awakening and many of these other things were foundational.
	And even people like Benjamin Franklin, who was not pious in any way, He was not a real outspoken Christian, but even he understood God's hand of providence in this.
	Let me just play for you what he said as they were struggling to come up with the Constitution after the American Revolution.
	Mr. President, The small progress that we've made after four or five weeks' close attendance and continual reasonings with each other, our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many no's as eyes, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the human understanding.
	We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom since we've been running about in search of it.
	We've gone back to ancient history for models of government and examined the different forms of those republics which have been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution and now no longer exist.
	We have viewed modern states all around Europe but find none of their constitutions suitable to our circumstances.
	In this situation of this assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of Lights to illuminate our understandings?
	In the beginning of the contest with Great Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayer in this room for divine protection.
	Our prayers, sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered.
	All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor.
	To that kind providence, we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity.
	Have we now forgotten that powerful friend?
	Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance?
	I have lived, sir, a long time.
	And the longer I live, The more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men.
	And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?
	We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build, they labor in vain that build it.
	I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel.
	We shall be divided by our little partial local interests, our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a byword down to the future age.
	And what is worse?
	Mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance despair of establishing governments by human wisdom and leave it to chance, war, and to conquest.
	I therefore beg leave to move, that henceforth prayers, imploring the assistance of heaven and its blessings on our deliberation, be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service.
	Benjamin Franklin, Thursday, June 28, 1787, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
	Well, we don't have leaders like that.
	I don't see anybody lined up for that.
	But each of us can pray for vision.
	Each of us can do what we can to make sure that that powerful friend, as he put it, is not forgotten.
	So when we look at this fourth turning, this time of change, that you may not understand this, but this is as significant as As the times of 1776.
	They won't talk about it at Colonial Williamsburg.
	And people in the media are not talking about it.
	But that is the elephant in the room.
	If we look at the fourth turning in the timeline of this, as I've said many times, we've had other fourth turnings that took 21 years.
	For that fourth turning that produced the American nation.
	And it was a very short one for the Civil War, but a massive, massive casualty rape.
	That only took five years.
	And then, from 1929 to 1946, the Great Depression and World War.
	That took 17 years.
	So, we're in a situation right now, Strauss and Howe, who talked about this, when they talked about their theory of timing of cyclical history.
	They said, we think it'll happen sometime in 2008.
	There'll be some kind of a global financial crisis.
	And that will begin a fourth turning.
	Where all the major institutions are overthrown.
	And we will see what happens with those institutions.
	And that it should be finished sometime, I don't know, 2029.
	This is well before.
	A couple of decades before everybody started talking about 2030.
	Remember, this is early 1990s.
	And they were still just beginning to talk about the UN Agenda 21.
	And it wasn't really until about 2014-2015 that That the UN Agenda 21, sometime in the 21st century, we're going to do this to everybody.
	It got very specific.
	It became the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainability.
	And, you know, that's what we've been talking about ever since.
	And now everything is 2030.
	And so, as he says there in this article, this is Jeff Thomas, international man.
	You'll find it also on Zero Hedge.
	He says, in addition to the effort to institute totalitarian rule...
	We have a breakdown of both morality and logic that is happening right now.
	He says a fourth turning is a period in history when the negative developments over a four-generation period reach a crescendo, a time when the sociopaths are the rulers and they're putting the squeeze on the populace.
	Everywhere we look, things are getting worse.
	And he says that's because we're in the middle of a fourth turning, and it's going to accelerate.
	Do you have a vision?
	What you want to see this country turn into?
	Because these people do. It's a frightening vision.
	And we have to thwart that.
	Anyway, he says, a classic fourth turning takes place over roughly 20 years.
	I showed you those times. You know, the Civil War was five years, but it's just because it was like accelerated death, I think, in that period of time.
	Unbelievable. The casualties in the Civil War.
	The other ones took place, you know, 19 years and so forth.
	We are about at the halfway mark.
	The symptoms are peaking.
	And it may appear that, quote, it just keeps getting worse every day.
	Won't people ever wake up and understand how crazy this is?
	Well, historically, the answer has always been yes.
	There has always been a turning point within the fourth turning itself.
	Even if it seems it's not only a long time coming, but there is no level of pressure that won't be tolerated by the masses.
	He said the reason for this...
	is that a fourth turning is made possible by complacency.
	Although there has been a deterioration in self-reliance and reasoning for three generations, a population does not become truly complacent until the final stages.
	The deeper the complacency, the greater the oppression by leaders.
	Isn't that what we're seeing now?
	And again, just as Strauss and Hal pointed out, we have seen this pattern over and over again.
	They went back 500 years in history, from American back to British history.
	The complacency is at its greatest in populations where there previously was the greatest prosperity.
	Therefore, in the present fourth turning, the countries that have been most dramatically impacted have been those that had previously been the most prosperous.
	The UK, Europe, Canada, and especially the US. So if we're to see a turning point, when will it be and what will cause it?
	Historically, there's generally both a political turning point and a social one, and they're not always concurrent.
	And that's apparently the case this time around, he says.
	And I'll just say this, you know, the political and social aspects always result In economic activity, it typically always result, almost always result in a war.
	Very few times it hasn't resulted in a war.
	World War, Civil War, Revolutionary War, as I've said many times before, which will it be this time around?
	Or will it be a combination of all three?
	In February of 2022, the U.S. placed sanctions on Russia as a result of the Ukraine war.
	This was predictable. However, the U.S. concurrently confiscated the private property of Russian citizens.
	He says at the time, it didn't get a lot of publicity in the West, but he said, I talked about the fact that this would be a political turning point.
	And it has turned out to be that way.
	By confiscating not just the sanctions, which are in and of themselves an act of war, But by aggressively confiscating private property as well, it has put people off of the system that has been dominated by America.
	Well, if they can do that to them, they can do it to us for whatever reason, right?
	Just as we saw with Trudeau, confiscating bank accounts of people who had contributed to the Freedom Convoy, Even when there was nothing illegal about it.
	You know, they had their money confiscated.
	They had their bank accounts shut down.
	There was a mom who was working minimum wage, a single mom with a child.
	She had her entire bank account frozen by that tyrant, Trudeau.
	And so people look at it and say, oh, well, I guess if they don't like my politics or my religion or whatever else, they could shut me down if they think I'm an enemy of the state.
	People saw this on a global level, thanks to the actions of the tyrant Biden.
	Most countries in the world don't see themselves as world powers.
	They see themselves as countries that are continually impacted by world powers.
	As such, they try to cooperate with the big boys.
	They suffer as little as possible from what the big boys do.
	For them, the announcement by the U.S. was a direct threat.
	If they confiscated assets of Russian people, they could do the same to us, of course.
	And this generated a quiet move away from U.S. influence.
	Many new countries, many countries rather, started to travel to Moscow and Beijing to form new alliances, new trade agreements, new loyalties to replace the ever-riskier relationship with the U.S. Let's see, how did they put that in Star Wars?
	Yeah, Princess Leia turned to Darth Vader and says, you know, the tighter the grip that you have on people, the more you're going to see the stuff slip through your fingers, right?
	This generated a quiet move, and so these types of things in the last year, we've seen moves away from the petrodollar, away from the U.S. reserve currency.
	We've seen increased applications to the BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and now it is really BRICS plus.
	It's grown bigger than those people who had been for quite some time, saying, you know, why are we giving all this power to America?
	It's not helping us any.
	And now they see it as a very real threat.
	That's why, you know, Marco Rubio's griping about the fact, well, look at this.
	And that means we're not going to have this weapon of the U.S. dollar.
	That's the only thing he sees. He doesn't care about our suffering.
	He only cares about the fact that he's going to lose one of his weapons for power.
	Recently, Malaysia became the first country to announce that its preparation to step away from the U.S. is now complete.
	And they are formally distancing themselves from the U.S. This trend will expand over the coming year as more countries come out in their intention.
	A trend that will serve both to isolate the U.S. and to increase the collective strength of the BRICS+. So he says, but what about this other thing, the other concern, the social tipping point?
	Well, you know, we see Black Lives Matter.
	We see the LGBT stuff, the training stuff, the presumed white privilege, the vaccine mandates, all these things increasingly dominant.
	Staying there, getting worse, you know, the vaccine, the executive powers and all this stuff, still there.
	Well, he mentions a few examples.
	Stanford Law School.
	The students drove out a conservative speaker with angry insults.
	Students even called for his daughters to be raped.
	The moderating administrator added to the fire, denouncing the speaker as he left.
	But in a surprise move, the otherwise liberal dean suspended the administrator and announced that all students would be required to attend training on, quote, freedom of speech and the norms of the legal profession.
	And we see other examples of this.
	You know, he gives examples of Anna Kasparian, of the young turds.
	And she says, look, I'm a woman.
	Don't ever refer to me as a person, a birthing person or something like that.
	But, you know, and he mentions Andrew Tate.
	But he does sum it up by saying, well, these are people who are coming.
	It's not coming from conservatives.
	It's coming from the liberal side.
	And so Andrew Tate doesn't fit in that.
	He's not coming, I think, from the liberal side.
	But I think other things you could make that he doesn't have in this, make the case for this that he doesn't have in the article.
	Take a look at Bill Maurer.
	You know, he's come out against a lot of these different things.
	The censorship. He says, why is it that it's only in California and it's not in Ohio that all the kids are born in the wrong body?
	You know, he understands that something's being done to them by the school.
	It's not something that is natural.
	You look at what I just reported yesterday in Berlin.
	How they put the green...
	McGuffin, the Green Agenda, up for a vote.
	And in Liberal Berlin, where they've been all about the Green Party, the Green Agenda was voted down 82 to 18.
	82% of the people, only 18% supported that.
	And so we're seeing this coming from the left, because people on the left have had enough of that.
	But that's not the most important thing to take away from all this.
	I think the most important thing is that we have to have a vision.
	It's not enough to be against what they're doing.
	We have to have a vision for our society.
	That is why they want to get rid of history.
	That is why they want to purge God out and religion out of everything.
	Because they don't want us to have a vision.
	That's what gives us a vision.
	And without those things, we are blind.
	We have no idea what kind of society we should build, where we should put the guidelines and the ropes and the conventions and the cultures without religion as the basis.
	And I don't say anything special about religion.
	Religion can just be a bunch of rules.
	We got a legislator in Texas who says, oh, I know how we fix our society.
	We put the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
	Well, that's not going to do it, unfortunately.
	I mean, it's not a bad thing to have there, and it's good for people to see that.
	But you've got to have a positive vision.
	The law can be a schoolteacher, as Paul said in his letters.
	It can show you your accurate position before God, how you stand condemned before God, because you can't fulfill the law perfectly.
	And, of course, Jesus made that very clear.
	He said, you know, you've heard it said, Thou shalt not kill.
	Ten Commandments. But if you're just angry at somebody, you've committed murder in your heart already.
	You've heard, thou shalt not commit adultery.
	But if you lust, you've committed adultery in your heart already.
	He made it an impossible standard.
	And of course, the kids are going to find if they try that they're not capable of obeying the Ten Commandments.
	So what do you do? That's only half of the message.
	The other half of the message, just as I said, it's not enough to be against something.
	You've got to have a positive vision.
	And the other half of that message is what Easter is about.
	The fact that Christ fulfilled that.
	Christ died on our behalf to take away that judgment against us.
	He paid the fine for us.
	We stood condemned. God is just and righteous.
	So we stood condemned.
	Condemned. Christ paid the penalty.
	And if you don't believe, if you want to go with this kind of higher criticism, then, oh, you know, I take the Bible, it's great moral instruction, all the rest of this stuff.
	No. If you don't believe that Christ is Lord, that he died for our sins, as Paul said, we have no hope, and we are the most miserable of people.
	But if you think Christ is simply a moral teacher, C.S. Lewis said, well, he didn't leave us that.
	He's either a lunatic, or he's a liar, or the people who wrote it down are lunatics or liars.
	But they're not just great moral people.
	No, it's either true or it isn't.
	And so you need to look at that, and you need to look at where your vision is and what you want to build in society.
	And that's really what is coming up.
	I had a person contact me and say, well, why are we using the term Easter?
	I understand that, you know, just like Christmas, there's all kinds of things that have been brought in as part of this.
	Even unlike Christmas, we know exactly the time when Christ died, but we don't even celebrate that.
	As I pointed out, Easter and Passover are aligned this year in terms of the calendar, but they're typically not because the Passover is determined on a lunar calendar and we're set up on a solar calendar.
	So it kind of moves around different days of the week in different years.
	I don't understand why we celebrate at a different time.
	You know, why we maintain, you know, and I'm not going to get dogmatic about this, but I always wonder, how do you fit three days and three nights from Friday to Sunday?
	So don't write me a letter.
	I've gone through all that.
	My solution is that, you know, we had Passover this year begin on yesterday at sundown, right?
	If that was how it fell that particular year, Not a problem at all.
	Three days and three nights.
	Some of these things are obscured because of our traditions.
	We can't see what is happening with them.
	But it really is the resurrection of Christ that we're celebrating.
	We're not celebrating bunnies and chocolate eggs and all the rest of this stuff or Ishtar or all these other things that have been brought into it.
	So there's always all these different things that are attached.
	And I talk about it as Easter because, you know, that is what we call this syncretized, you know, somewhat pretty much secular holiday that's there.
	But again, you can make out of it what you wish.
	We don't run away from the holiday.
	We run toward it.
	And we look for how we can get rid of the phony stuff and go for the real meat that is there.
	Before I run out of time, I want to thank...
	That is very generous.
	Thank you so much, Geesebusters.
	I really do appreciate the tip that you left on Rumble.
	Thank you very much. It says, Happy Easter, David.
	Geesebusters, Geesebusters.
	You've got a great way to...
	Get the geese to go somewhere else and not be so much of a nuisance at your golf course or other places.
	And of course, he's mentioned in the past how he used to do it at one of Trump's golf courses there.
	And Danilin, Alaska.
	Thank you very much for the tips.
	David, I'm a Subscribestar donor.
	I haven't seen any changes, but I did.
	Well, thank you, and thank you for being a monthly subscriber there on Rockfit.
	Yeah, PayPal kicked me off in May.
	I'd only been doing the program for about four months, five months, and they kicked me off, no explanation.
	Little John, thank you, says, I'm wearing my David Knight t-shirt.
	Well, thank you. And you know what? We've got a couple of great designs coming up that we're going to put out as well.
	So I appreciate you telling me that.
	Before we run out of time here, I just want to say that this is something...
	I really like the people that I've met so far in Tennessee, even in politics.
	I've met Senator Nicely, and he really is nice, and he really does understand what these issues are with CBDC and other things.
	But the Tennessee House Republicans, if you remember, it was about a week ago.
	That you had all these kids take over and you saw them acting as thugs.
	And the highway patrol was getting pushed.
	They didn't push back. They were guarding the people there trying to get to the legislative committee.
	But when they got in there, there were three Democrats who had taken over the podium and who would not move.
	They had bullhorns and all the rest of this stuff.
	Well, you know what? The Tennessee Republicans have had it with them.
	And they came up with three resolutions.
	They passed by 95% to take it to the floor.
	They only need to have two-thirds.
	They're going to vote on it today to throw those Democrats out, the three of them.
	I hope they do. Thank you for listening.
	Have a good Easter. The Common Man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
