	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 26th of May, it's Friday the 26th of May, year of our Lord, 2023.
	Well, today we're going to begin by taking a look at some of the back and forth.
	It's now begun in the Republican Party, and I think that there are some important things to learn in the debate that will not be held probably in person, but will be held over the competing interviews and social media posts.
	We're also going to take a look at this verdict that came in on Stuart Rhodes' 18 years in prison, Other court decisions in the Supreme Court went the right way.
	This one, I think, is a great injustice.
	DeSantis talked about pardons with that.
	I think... Who knows what Trump would do?
	Do they have $2 million to get out of jail?
	I don't know. But we will also be talking in the third hour...
	To Senator Frank Nicely here in Tennessee talking about what may happen in the special session coming up in August that the governor wants to have to push gun control.
	Is that an open invitation to insurrection-type behavior?
	And also James Roguski will be joining us to talk about what is happening with the WHO regulations, treaties, things like that.
	We'll be right back. Well, let's begin with some of the election and policy issues before we get into the court decisions.
	Biden says that anyone can crash Twitter, but it takes a real leader to crash the economy.
	That's a Babylon Bee headline.
	That's right. Crashing Twitter?
	That's for amateurs, folks. I crashed the economy.
	Top that. And what is Twitter?
	That's a Babylon Bee.
	Well, let me tell you. Yeah, Biden crashed the economy.
	And he did what he could with the oil sanctions and the rest of this stuff.
	Major damage with that.
	But the economy began crashing under Trump.
	Do you remember the lockdown? Of course, Babylon Bee and Republican alternative media people aren't going to talk about that because that's suicidal to talk about that.
	I guess I'm just suicidal.
	Because I'm not going to let this injustice stand and I'm not going to cover up for that sorry piece of filth.
	Look, Trump did it in 2020.
	He crashed the economy.
	Big time with his lockdown.
	Should we forget about that?
	Well, I was very glad to see DeSantis is not cutting him any slack.
	Go for it. I think he did great for three years, but when he turned the country over to Fauci in March of 2020, that destroyed millions of people's lives.
	And in Florida, we were one of the few that stood up Yeah, he destroyed millions of people's lives with that lockdown.
	Let's not forget that.
	And then he killed millions of people worldwide with his jab that he is so proud of.
	Both of those things he's so proud of.
	I locked this down so quick.
	I protected anything. I did it more than Fauci wanted to do the lockdown.
	I did it before Fauci.
	Yeah. Let's not forget that.
	Let's not forget that Hillary Clinton called us deplorable and Trump called us non-essential.
	You want to remember that? You're going to vote for Trump again?
	Unbelievable. I would vote for Stalin before I'd vote for Trump.
	At least you know who Stalin is.
	Instead of a backstabbing traitor.
	Twitter's head of engineering resigned the day after the disastrous...
	Launch interview for DeSantis.
	And of course, it was really more, as I said, I thought it was more of a failure for Twitter than it was for DeSantis.
	It wasn't the only thing that DeSantis immediately had.
	Many, many other interviews lined up with everybody.
	But it was a big issue for Twitter.
	And I still find it interesting.
	I guess I'll write a substack about it.
	I can find the time.
	It has big implications for Tucker Carlson.
	Everybody keeps talking about it.
	You know, there's all these articles about how, well, you know, Fox News is declining and the conservatives are now moving to Twitter and so forth.
	So maybe, you know, with Tucker Carlson doing his program there, can Tucker Carlson do his programming there?
	Can they handle it? Now, I'm sure he's not going to do it using spaces, right?
	I don't know, though, how many people they could handle watching a live video stream.
	I don't know if that's why I had problems on the video stream.
	I know that they did focus on my video stream after I wanted to start putting up full clips of the show, 10 minute clips or whatever that we cut out of the show on a daily basis.
	So I got the, you know, paid the $8 for the blue checkmark and they spent several weeks vetting me and towards the end of that, they put warning labels on one of my shows.
	Never had a warning label on my show, ever.
	I've been doing the show for six years.
	Never had a warning label put on there, but they did after they've edited it.
	And then they, you know, they have not done that since then.
	But we have also had problems with people watching the stream on Twitter, the live stream on Twitter, with it dropping out.
	So I don't know if they've got the capacity to do a regular live stream.
	They certainly showed they didn't have the capacity to do spaces.
	They initially had 500,000 people and it crashed.
	And some of the people who were talking about it from a technical standpoint said Spaces was never really intended for anything like that.
	Aaron Moss, nobody crashes the economy better than me.
	The Trump voice, yeah.
	I can do it so wonderful.
	Nobody, nobody could do it like me.
	Trump was a New York Democrat for decades.
	Then presto, he's a Republican.
	Exactly. Exactly.
	So, when we look at this again, I think, you know, this is a big deal.
	Where is Tucker going to do his program?
	Is it going to be capable of handling the millions of people that tune in to watch Tucker live?
	Because, you know, especially the first show.
	First show that he does, everybody, whether they like Tucker or not, are going to tune in to see what it is.
	His enemies are going to tune in to grab stuff.
	The people who like him are going to tune in.
	But then people are just going to be curious as to what's going on.
	It's going to really bust Twitter, I think, first time he does a show.
	Unless they do extensive testing.
	And Musk is not known for doing extensive testing, as we just saw with his launch that he just did.
	Where he basically trashed a town miles away, trashed his own launch site, and then the thing blew up and they cheered.
	Yeah, at least we got it off the ground.
	So, I don't know. LinkedIn has jumped in with election censorship already.
	They purged Vivek Ramaswamy for his climate views, his climate views, you see.
	This is not going to end.
	Big Tech, he said, election interference has begun.
	Well, it's begun for him.
	It's begun for the 2024 cycle.
	Aaron Moss replying to Yonah says, Trump was a New York Democrat for decades and pressed to his Republican.
	Yeah, you don't do business in New York in the 80s without the approval of the mob.
	That's right. Giuliani had the inside scoop, so to speak.
	He knew a lot of mob people, didn't he?
	Friends for years.
	Gotta pay to play.
	Then lock them up with RICO if they don't.
	That's right. Yeah. Anyway, LinkedIn and Ramaswamy, he said they locked my account.
	I expressed fact-based views as a presidential candidate about climate policy.
	Here's what they take exception to.
	And unlike YouTube, they actually told him why they were kicking him off.
	Which, you know, they didn't tell me why they kicked me off the first time.
	They didn't tell me the last time they kicked me off when it was a channel that I set up just to put up music.
	I had my Christmas songs up there that I'd played.
	And they took that down.
	It took them six months to figure out it was me.
	And then they took it down. But I didn't last that long.
	When I started this program...
	I thought, well, maybe I won't be guilty by association, you know, since I'm independent now.
	And so I started a YouTube channel.
	But it only lasted less than a month before they kicked me off.
	Because, you know, you get the first strike and then they lock it up for, you know, a few days or something like that.
	You get the second strike and they lock you up for a couple of weeks.
	And then you get the third strike and you're gone.
	And so I didn't really post that many videos up there.
	The first video that they took exception to was the beginning of 2021, and the title was 2020, the year the world became China.
	Well, they didn't like that, because I was talking about the pandemic and all the rest of the stuff.
	Well, here's what LinkedIn did not like about Ramaswamy's videos.
	First one, he said it was a video posted along with a comment Comment was, the CCP, Chinese Communist Party, is playing the Biden administration like a Chinese mandolin.
	China has weaponized the woke pandemic to stay one step ahead of us, and it's working.
	That's pretty mild.
	It's true. Pretty mild, actually.
	Second one, and the third one, were about climate.
	He said, if the climate religion was really about climate change, then they'd be worried about, say, shifting oil production from the U.S. to places like Russia and China.
	Again, absolutely true.
	Actually, they've shifted oil production from the U.S. to Russia and China and other places like that.
	But the fuel use, not production, but the use...
	Has been shifted to China and India.
	And people who are true believers in the climate religion have criticized from the very beginning the Paris Climate Accord.
	So, wait a minute. This is global warming.
	Why are you letting the two countries that have the biggest population and the dirtiest power plants, why are you allowing them to build as many power plants as they want?
	Without any measures to keep them clean or anything.
	Make them cheap. Make them dirty.
	Make as many as you want. This doesn't make any sense.
	This isn't about saving the planet.
	This is about transferring industry from America and Europe to China and to India.
	And so the true believers of the climate religion have called that out.
	But anyway, third one.
	He said the climate agenda is a lie.
	Fossil fuels are a requirement for human prosperity.
	Well, he's right about that as well.
	You know, the person who did this, this is pointed out in the article at Zero Hedge, LinkedIn's founder, Reid Hoffman, funded a Russian bot hoax against GOP candidate Roy Moore.
	And he underwrote Trump accuser E. Gene Carroll's lawsuit.
	And now he has locked Vivek Ramaswamy for telling the truth about the climate change lies.
	And so Ramaswamy said, two years ago, big tech censored people who argued that we shouldn't close schools for COVID. Yeah, I remember that when it happened to me.
	Now they're censoring presidential candidates for arguing that fossil fuels are required for prosperity.
	They didn't censor me because it's false.
	They censored me because it's true.
	Well, they censored him because it's telling the truth about their lies.
	Their agenda, their narrative is false, is a lie.
	Anyway, he says, we have connectivity to the people that we need to talk to to be able to get my LinkedIn account back.
	But I'm not bringing this about because it's about me.
	I'm bringing this up because if they can do it to me, they can really do it to anybody.
	I guess I'm the anybody.
	Mia culpa. For making statements about climate change movement and the agenda in this country that are grounded in facts.
	Yeah, exactly.
	By the way, while we're talking about presidential candidates, I said, you know, it's really kind of hard to find out anything on Tim Scott because he's kind of this, you know, he's a nice guy.
	He's got a great story, and he does have a great story in his life.
	And he does seem to be a nice guy.
	But what is it about him that he's gotten so much support from some really big guys like Larry Ellison, Oracle billionaire?
	And then I came across this.
	This is back in February, February the 2nd this year.
	Top Republican on the U.S. Senate panel, ready to work on crypto rules.
	This is the Senate's banking committee.
	Now, Tim Scott is on that committee with Elizabeth Warren and others.
	And he is the top-ranking Republican.
	If the Republicans had a majority, he would be the one who was chair of it.
	He's not because they are not in control of the Senate, but he is still the top-ranking Republican.
	And he shares Elizabeth Warren and the rest of these people's hatred of crypto, which tells you that he loves CBDC, that he's a part of this.
	Tim Scott is a part of this effort.
	To ban crypto and to push CBDC. He's been silent on it.
	As a matter of fact, all the candidates have been silent on this, except for DeSantis and RFKJ and Ramaswamy.
	The three of them have come out in opposition to CBDC. The rest of them are not saying anything.
	And Tim Scott is on the Senate Banking Committee.
	That is trying to outlaw by regulation crypto, you know, death by regulation.
	He put out a brief statement back at the beginning of February, after they wrote this article, after he put it out.
	Saying he wants to start working on a bipartisan regulatory framework for cryptocurrency.
	Yeah, it's kind of like Hangman.
	You ever play Hangman? You know, he adds a piece and Elizabeth Warren adds a piece and pretty soon, you know, you've got some gallows there and you can hang crypto from the gallows.
	He had a brief statement and it included digital asset regulation as one of his seven priorities.
	So it's a priority for him.
	And he said in his statement, Now, if I hadn't told you...
	That that was Tim Scott.
	You would think that was Elizabeth Warren.
	And you would be right because they're on the same committee.
	It's a club and you ain't in it.
	And they don't want you to be in it.
	And they don't want you to be in the game.
	They don't want you to be a stakeholder.
	They don't want you to be holding anything.
	U.S. lawmakers expect to get to work on the first significant pieces of crypto legislation this year.
	The chair of that committee, the chairman, is Senator Sherrod Brown, Democrat of Ohio, who paved the way for crypto legislation in November, sending a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, revealing his willingness to work toward a wide-ranging regulatory framework.
	That's what these people are about.
	Newt Gingrich, this is funny, he went on with Laura Ingraham in the headline here.
	Newt Gingrich's unintentional burn of Donald Trump is priceless.
	He said one of Trump's greatest advantages is that he talks at a level where 3rd and 4th and 5th grade educations can say, oh yeah, I get that.
	I understand it. Do they really?
	Do they really? I think that's part of the problem.
	You know, apparently that's where MAGA is and they, for whatever reason, he speaks to them and they can't connect the dots.
	On what he did in 2020 with the pandemic.
	They can't connect the dots on what he did to ruin the election with a lockdown as well.
	It was a lockdown election.
	It was run according to his rules.
	You're going to have to vote by mail.
	And the Democrats said, okay, we can do that.
	We can vote early.
	We can vote often by mail.
	Make it even easier.
	So, this has been the context...
	Well, whatever.
	I mean, the big problem is that, um, you know, Donald Trump has, um, Put himself in as a martyr and a victim, and all of these bogus things, the charges that they're bringing against him with the election, the charges that they're bringing against him with all this paperwork stuff, is just elevating him in everybody's eyes.
	And they're not stupid.
	They're doing that on purpose.
	Revolver says, RFK Jr.
	sparks a wildfire. U.S. election fraud becomes a blazing issue for 2024.
	And they begin it by talking about Trump, of course, because this is Revolver.
	Good news, he says, Trump isn't shying away from ballot harvesting and ballot curing.
	And so, you remember I had an interview with Or the guy who wrote a book about this.
	He was an auditor.
	And he went back and looked at all this stuff.
	He's absolutely convinced of the fraud that was there.
	But he said that it is absolutely the wrong thing to do to think that you're going to win at this ballot harvesting and ballot curing.
	Absolutely not going to do it.
	Because they're not your constituents.
	But it is a morally wrong thing to do as well.
	If you've got something that is cheating, instead of saying that I'm going to do a better job of cheating than the other side does, why don't you fix it?
	You see? It tells us a great deal about Trump's morality.
	Trump is laser-focused, says Darren Beattie at Revolver.
	Trump is laser-focused on becoming the best ballot harvesters in the business.
	There you go. What would you expect from a casino operator?
	He looks at this and says, I can rig the game so that we win.
	Right? That's his approach.
	Darren Beattie says, is this situation ideal?
	No. In a normal country, one wouldn't need to resort to these extreme measures.
	It's not a normal country.
	What he's saying is, in an honest country, in an honest election, in a just country, you wouldn't need to cheat and out-cheat the other cheaters.
	This is what Trump is doing, and this is what the people are embracing.
	Just like it used to be, only the Democrats who embrace the idea that we have to get every problem has to be solved in Washington.
	And now conservatives in general embrace that.
	They even want to take abortion back to Washington so they can cut the baby into three semesters, trimesters.
	So, he says, normally you wouldn't have to resort to these kind of extreme measures.
	But we have no choice but to master the art of ballot harvesting and curing.
	This is the same kind of corrupt logic that was pushed by Alex and a lot of people in the alternative media about, well, Trump, I know he's betraying what he said he's going to do.
	But it's just 4D chess, and we've got to do whatever it takes to win.
	If we have to lie, cheat, and steal, we'll lie, cheat, and steal to win.
	That's what they've embraced. They deserve to lose.
	I don't want to be a part of a movement that lies, cheats, and steals to win, even if they win.
	There's no honor in that.
	There's no justice in that.
	And if you believe there's God, there's going to be no victory in that either.
	God hates dishonest scales.
	And boy, this is a big scale.
	It's a big, giant thing here.
	Lots of stuff weighing on us.
	And then he goes on to RFK Jr.
	He says he's lit a fire and placed election integrity at the forefront of his campaign season.
	He's not only presented a strong argument, but has shown a genuine desire to implement a system that instills confidence in every American that their votes are lawfully counted.
	And then he's got a long quote from him.
	I'll just read you this part of it.
	Without 100% transparent and accurate elections, says RFKJ. There will always be a fundamental doubt about whether elections actually embody the people's will.
	When votes are tabulated by hidden algorithms inside black boxes, inaccessible to third-party verification, there will always be questions and doubts.
	We don't need to do, and he's right about that, we don't need to out-cheat the other people using their measures.
	We need to have transparency, honesty in our elections.
	And I think it should be a big, you want to talk about a red flag?
	The red flag is about Trump's character when he says, no, we'll out-cheat the other people here.
	By the way, I'm not cheering RFKJ. As I said, you know, Tim Scott, he's working with the people, the banking committee and Senate to try to shut down crypto and the whole purpose of that, especially right now.
	Why are they doing that now?
	Yeah, well, it's to put CBDC out there, of course.
	But it's important to know where these guys are coming from.
	And I've talked in the past about how RFKJ wanted to lock up climate skeptics.
	He's also called the NRA a terrorist organization, as recently as the Parkland shooting.
	You know, he had David Hogg out there grabbing the spotlight, but RFKJ was saying, well, the NRA is a terrorist organization.
	A terrorist organization.
	He wanted to lock up people that disagreed with him on climate.
	Remember that? And he hasn't walked that back.
	When Hugo Chavez died, RFKJ declared his deep grief and love and respect for Hugo Chavez.
	So there's some big red flags.
	Abortion is another one of them in terms of RFKJ. Getting back to the Trump-DeSantis thing.
	Trump says, again, they're trading barbs back and forth yesterday.
	So the debate is going to take place.
	It's not going to be held on...
	See, that's the interesting thing everybody wants to talk about.
	Oh, look, everybody's moving from Fox News and they're going to go to social media and Twitter especially.
	And DeSantis is doing his big announcement and crash.
	You know, it goes down.
	But let me tell you where the debate is going to be held.
	The debate's not going to be held.
	On Fox News or anywhere else because Trump doesn't want to debate anybody.
	But the debate will be on social media.
	That's where the debate is going to be.
	It isn't going to be announcements.
	It isn't necessarily going to be Tucker Carlson's program unless they can fix their technical issues.
	But the debate will be held on social media.
	The revolution will not be televised and neither will the debates.
	As they say. So, anyway.
	Trump says, even Cuomo did better than DeSantis on COVID-19.
	Oh, he's getting desperate, isn't he?
	Desperate liar. He said, how about the fact that he had the third most deaths of any state?
	Even Cuomo did better.
	Cuomo was number four, he says.
	Florida was number three.
	New York was number four in terms of deaths.
	How did New York get that high?
	Well, you know, they did certain things to certain people.
	Elderly people in the rest homes and things like that.
	What state has the most elderly people?
	I wonder. You think it might be Florida?
	They're going to be there with a lot of comorbidities.
	Can we trust the lying numbers from Fauci and from the Trump administration about this stuff?
	Of course we can't. I said that about China.
	I said, don't believe anything they tell you in terms of the statistics that are there.
	You're not going to know anything because they're proven liars.
	Well, the same thing is true of the Biden administration and the FDA and the CDC and the NIH. They're proven liars.
	And so, if you believe any of this stuff, you don't understand how cooked the COVID stats were in the first place.
	But... You don't even have to understand it from that standpoint.
	I just discount all of this COVID death stuff.
	Look, people were dying from the ventilators, we now know, more than anything else in the hospitals.
	They were dying from bacterial pneumonia.
	That's not a virus.
	Bacterial pneumonia that they got from the ventilators.
	That Trump leaned on companies to build, berated companies for not building enough of them, quickly enough, and all the rest of this stuff.
	He and Peter Navarro, the entire Trump administration, it's hard to tell the difference, right?
	Trump, Biden, the entire Trump administration was locking everything down and pushing out these ventilators that killed so many people until they could get their vaccine out that killed even more people.
	So don't believe any of these COVID stats.
	Take a look at the ventilators.
	But even if you look at the government's own statistics that Trump is talking about, Trump is not adjusting for the population.
	If you adjust for the population and say, how many deaths that were labeled as COVID? Probably not at all.
	I don't believe that they were.
	But how many deaths that were labeled as COVID? And if you adjust it for population, Florida's not number three, it's number 18.
	And so he lies even with the lying statistics.
	This lies on top of lies.
	It's absolutely amazing.
	And then in this article, they talk about how DeSantis was one of the last governors to do what the Trump administration wanted, which was to lock everybody down.
	He didn't do it until April.
	And then he was, toward the end of that month, he began lifting the lockdown order and ended it entirely by September.
	But Trump loves his lockdown.
	He thinks that he still tells us that he saved lives with his lockdown.
	He still tells us that his genetic code injection saved lives.
	And people who know better still want to support him.
	Absolutely amazing. People that he called non-essential.
	People whose lives were destroyed, in many cases, by this.
	And then he went on.
	Trump said, and look at Disney!
	What a mess. I could have worked out an easy settlement.
	Yeah, he and Nikki Haley.
	Just give me some cash. Come on.
	We can work something out, okay?
	No, I tell you what.
	Trump loves the LGBT. He has celebrated them over and over again.
	He's bragged about his woke credentials with LGBT over and over again.
	And by the way, while we talk about this, how's that working out for Target, Trump?
	You think that's going to work for you in an election?
	Target has lost 12% of their stock market value.
	That's $9 billion in the week since they started all of this pride stuff.
	Satanic pride stuff.
	Tucking suits for little kids.
	They've lost $9 billion in their stock market capitalization.
	And now, of course, you've got yet another corporation out there doing that.
	We've got North Face out there.
	They didn't learn a lesson from Dylan Mulvaney when the entire country said, this bud ain't for me.
	I'm not following the Mulvaney bud.
	So they're going to do it as well.
	And Trump says that when DeSantis talks about parental rights and opposes grooming in schools, Child porn being shown to kids in school.
	When he opposes that, Trump calls him sanctimonious.
	Well, of course, we understand this is coming from somebody who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein.
	So I guess certainly, you know, any normal person would be sanctimonious compared to Trump and the people that he hung out with.
	Yeah. Giuliani and Trump doing the drag queen thing.
	It's just absolutely amazing.
	So when DeSantis attacked Trump, as I played for you, he said he destroyed millions of lives.
	He did great for three years, but when he turned the country over to Fauci in March of 2020, that destroyed millions of people's lives.
	And in Florida, we were one of the few that stood up, cut against the grain, took incoming fire from media, bureaucracy, the left, even a lot of Republicans.
	And he's still taking incoming fire.
	When he did that, Rolling Stone jumped on him for it.
	Rolling Stone started cheering Trump as being the responsible one.
	So he's still taking fire for what he did after we know what he did was right, after we know what Trump did was wrong.
	He got Rolling Stone coming after him, even with that.
	So Thomas Massey, And he has been a supporter from the beginning of DeSantis.
	He says Trump can't run on inflation because he urged trillions of dollars in spending.
	He said DeSantis doesn't have that problem.
	And do you remember when Thomas Massey was the heir to Ron Paul, when he stood alone against everyone else in Washington, including Trump?
	To oppose this nearly $4 trillion in spending that Trump wanted to do?
	Do you remember that? I remember that.
	And I remember how furious Trump was.
	He could not control his anger.
	And said, we're going to primary him out.
	Well, he didn't, fortunately.
	He wanted to get rid of the best congressman we've got there.
	The only one who would stand up to this trial run for universal basic income that Trump put out there.
	And so Massey said...
	This hurt Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections because, quote, we couldn't run against inflation because most of my colleagues were urged by Trump to spend trillions of dollars.
	But DeSantis won't have that problem.
	Well, he's being nice.
	All of his colleagues.
	All the Republicans joined with Trump, except for Massey.
	He's the only one who kept his integrity.
	And then Trump spewed an amazing amount of hate at him.
	He said, the reason Trump can't run on inflation is he's the one who pushed the CARES Act.
	I was in Congress and I got screamed at by President Trump.
	By the way, if he wins a nomination, I'll vote for him enthusiastically.
	I won't. I will never forgive him or pardon him.
	For what he did to us in 2020 and for that vaccine.
	I will never forget that.
	As a politician, he's done, as far as I'm concerned.
	And I don't care if it burns my show down.
	I'm going to tell the truth about Trump as long as that son of a gun is around.
	He says, but he was for the trillions of dollars CARES Act, and one of the reasons we did, we had a lackluster performance in the midterms because we couldn't run against inflation.
	Because most of my colleagues were urged by Trump to spend three or four trillion dollars that we didn't have.
	That caused inflation.
	Ron DeSantis doesn't have that problem.
	And guess what? Where did that money go to?
	His PPP stuff?
	It was supposed to help small, medium-sized businesses?
	His Goldman Sachs banker, Mnuchin, redefined what a small business was.
	And more than 50% of the money went to less than 5% of the companies.
	It went to the big companies, not to the small companies.
	Everything about Trump was an outright lie in 2020.
	DeSantis had an interview.
	They asked him about pardons, and we're going to talk about what happened with Stuart Rhodes here.
	And he said, yeah, I'll look at that.
	He said, it looks like we've had unequal application of justice.
	He said, we have to do these things on a case-by-case basis.
	And he said, there's a lot of people that have not been high-profile individuals who have been really run over by the system.
	I'm paraphrasing what he had to say here.
	But he said, there's a lot of people that you haven't heard about that have had great injustice done to them.
	And he said, we're going to have to look at this on a case-by-case basis.
	And he goes, but even if there's somebody out there who committed a crime, did they get the same kind of treatment as, say, somebody who is politically aligned with Antifa?
	That's a big part of it as well.
	And then they ask him, would you pardon Trump?
	He said, well, we'll take a look at everybody.
	And we'll do this on a case-by-case basis.
	Look, what is happening...
	With this persecution of Trump, and I don't agree with that.
	Look, I can disagree with somebody without saying they need to be purged off of social media.
	You understand the difference?
	I can have big disagreements with somebody, but I don't want to have them canceled.
	If somebody turns into a troll, I will mute them or ban them off of my personal account.
	I don't want to hear it. But that's a different thing than having somebody canceled.
	Their free speech canceled.
	Their financial abilities canceled.
	All these different types of things.
	But you know how I disagree with Trump.
	But I really disagree with these political persecutions that are happening with Alvin Bragg and others.
	You know, Alvin Bragg has gone back now and opened up the case with Steve Bannon.
	Steve Bannon had this, you know, build the wall because Trump wasn't getting it done.
	They started a private funding of it.
	And then there were allegations that the money was not being used properly.
	Brian, I think his name was Brian Colfoggi.
	He was a vet who had lost multiple limbs.
	I think he'd lost both of his legs, maybe one arm.
	I can't remember, but he was in a wheelchair.
	And he kind of spearheaded that.
	And so he was charged, Steve Bannon was charged, and they've not had a trial yet, but he pardoned Bannon before the trial took place.
	And so now Alvin Bragg is coming back and saying, well, he wasn't found guilty and he was pardoned, so I can charge him and not violate the double jeopardy rule.
	That's a real...
	That's going to be an interesting case.
	And I'm sure that that will go to the Supreme Court.
	But, you know, and hopefully the Supreme Court will agree to hear it.
	They don't have to hear everything that is appealed to them, for sure.
	Everything gets appealed to them, pretty much.
	But I think that'd be a significant case about pardons.
	And maybe too much of a political hot potato for the Supreme Court to want to handle because they punted on all the election stuff as well this time around.
	They didn't want to have a replay of the 2000 election where they were accused of picking the winner.
	So the court system just said, we're not going to listen to any of this stuff in the 2020 aftermath.
	But, you know, this is political persecution.
	All this stuff about papers is just garbage.
	We had Sandy Berger, I used to call him Sandy Burglar, who went into the National Archives and because he was a former National Security Director or whatever his official time, I forget what his office was in the Clinton administration.
	He went in and stuffed a bunch of papers about 9-11 into his pants at the National Archives.
	They allowed him to walk out and then he destroyed those things and they came back and You know, he got disbarred or something like that.
	He basically got his hands slapped about that.
	But he didn't go to jail for 20 years or something like that, like Stuart Rhodes.
	And with all these papers, you see that Biden did it.
	You see that Pence did it.
	But now we're going to have a special prosecutor to come after Trump.
	It's pretty obvious what is going on.
	And their motivations are pretty obvious.
	They want to build up Trump because they know that he can win the nomination.
	And lose the general.
	And that's what's going to happen.
	And so that's why they're doing this kind of stuff.
	But anyway, it is not legitimate what is happening here.
	When you go back and you look at what has happened with January the 6th stuff, I think the real crimes of January the 6th were what were done to the Trump supporters.
	The real crimes are the fraud and the deception and throwing these people under the bus for their political purposes and for their money that was done by Stop the Steal, Alex and Roger, the stuff that was done by Trump to Save America.
	That was a fraud on those people and they ought to sue the pants off of them.
	Of course, you know, Alex's response would be get in line.
	But they ought to sue Trump at least.
	But it's not... A crime.
	This is not an insurrection by any means.
	And so I think this punishment for Stuart Rhodes is way over the top.
	The Mexican president has weighed in on our election.
	Did you know that Mexican presidents can now vote in American elections?
	I guess, right?
	He doesn't even have to cross the border.
	He can just interfere with the election from where he is.
	This is foreign interference.
	Where is Alejandro Mayorka to stop this foreign influence into our elections?
	Well, interestingly enough, he jumped into the election here against DeSantis, not against Trump.
	I guess he's not worried about Trump.
	I guess he realizes that Trump is all talk and no action on the border.
	I guess he realizes that Trump is a paper tiger on that issue as well.
	We have, we'll just finish with this, and say, who flew on Jeffrey Epstein's plane?
	Well, Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey.
	We had Bill Gates, John Glenn, an astronaut.
	I mean, who would think that astronauts would lie to you?
	We all know the moon landing was real, right?
	But we also have Donald Trump and RFKJ who are on the Epstein flights.
	And certainly with Donald Trump, all the pictures that we have of him, you know, did it ever occur to you That maybe all of these QAnon lies about Trump rounding up all these pedophile networks and it was all just as fabricated as Steve Pachenik's lies about the sting and how they were, oh yeah, we put out blockchain watermark ballots and we have quantum computing that's tracking that.
	We've got 20,000 National Guard have spread out over the country and they're arresting people right now, two days after the election.
	Did it ever occur to you that all the QAnon lies about Trump busting these pedophile organizations with just more of that same BS? Did it ever occur to you that maybe they put that out there to inoculate Trump from all these accusations of being a pedo with Epstein?
	Did it ever occur to you that they put that stuff out there, they portray him Did it ever occur to you that they put out a narrative of Trump being the ultimate anti-globalist and they had their fake professional wrestling thing going back and forth for years?
	Until Trump did more for the globalist agenda than any other politician ever in any other country.
	I mean, he did the vaccine and all the rest of it.
	Everybody, you know, following his example, following Fauci's advice.
	Yeah, they put this guy out there as preconditioning.
	They put this narrative about him being the anti-globalist.
	They put this narrative about him being the anti-pedo.
	They put that out there as preconditioning.
	And then he talks to the people.
	Like a third grader.
	And they can't connect the dots.
	Geesebusters, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that, Ron Rockfin.
	Locking the doors by our wonderful healthcare workers was murder.
	That's right. Not COVID. That's right.
	Financially incentivized medical malpractice and who financially incentivized it?
	It was Trump. It was Trump.
	Jason Barker. Hey, Jason.
	We actually need Trump back so we can go ahead and file bankruptcy.
	Nobody is better than Trump at that.
	Yeah, that's actually true.
	And I made that joke at the beginning of the Trump administration.
	But, boy, I was too mad to laugh about it when it happened in 2020.
	Denver Attaway. While replying to Jason, he says...
	He's got a lot of relevant experience.
	We can divorce the UN. He's good at divorce as well.
	There you go. Declare bankruptcy and divorce the UN. Harps.
	I hope you're feeling better, Harps.
	I've been praying for you. The debate will just be memes and mockery.
	Yep, that's right. But sometimes you'll have this type of...
	Don't expose what a liar he is.
	So we'll see what happens with it.
	It is going to be interesting.
	Occult priestess. Why have debates when we know that voting doesn't matter?
	Well, I think the issues do matter.
	And I don't think that the voting does matter.
	And I don't think whoever gets in there as president matters.
	But I think that we need to have a discussion about it.
	I've had people say the same thing.
	Why even talk about the Constitution when it's dead?
	Well, we need to know what a good constitution would look like.
	We need to know what an honest leader would look like.
	And we need to call out this stuff when it's dishonest and when it's illegal and when it violates the document that is their source of authority, frankly.
	You know, we were talking about this the other day with Gard yesterday, I think it was.
	And he said something about the constitution, you know, and the social contract type of stuff.
	And As, I don't know, was it, Lysander Spooner said the social contract is a document on which I cannot find my signature or something like that.
	It said that basically about the Constitution.
	And, you know, when I was a kid, we used to say the Pledge of Allegiance all the time.
	We never had a pledge to the Constitution or to the Bill of Rights or anything like that.
	And I thought, even when I was in school, I thought, that's kind of strange.
	You know, why are we pledging allegiance to a flag instead of to principles?
	Why are we, you know, pledging allegiance to a government instead of principles?
	But certainly that government, the king, is the Constitution.
	And even though I haven't signed the Constitution, and even though I haven't taken an oath to the Constitution because I never worked for the government in any capacity, civilian or military, the people who are in government have signed an oath to the Constitution.
	And the Constitution provides a framework for how they are supposed to conduct government.
	And it also has some restrictions on what they cannot do.
	We call that the Bill of Rights.
	And if they're going to violate the framework that they pledged and swore to, and if they're going to violate their oath to not infringe on our God-given rights, and to not protect our God-given rights, Then they may have power, but they have no authority. And so these things are very important.
	I think that's the reason we talk about the Constitution.
	And that's the reason I talk about the presidential elections.
	Because I also want to tell people, hey, do you see this guy that you're following here?
	Do you understand what he did just three years ago?
	Is your memory that short?
	Your attention span that short that you can't figure out what happened three years ago?
	It's just amazing to me that he is leading in the polls and all the rest of this stuff.
	On Rockfin, thank you, Info1776.
	Thank you very much. I really do appreciate that.
	He says, tell the truth, David, about Pfizer, Trump, and the January 6th set-up march.
	Don't get me started on the CIA mechanic.
	Thank you for always taking your principles.
	Well, thank you for your support.
	I appreciate that. Greg Talent, thank you.
	I appreciate that as well.
	That is on Rockfin.
	And another comment on Rumble.
	Dave, the days of honest men winning any election trying to restore what our founding fathers envisioned ended with JFK's assassination, in my opinion.
	I agree. We're going to bring it back, though.
	Let's understand that we have powerful weapons, and one of them is to not live by lies.
	If we're going to rebuild this country, it's going to be done from the ground up.
	We are the foundation of this country, not the people on top.
	If you're going to build a building, do you start with the roof?
	No. You start with the foundation.
	And if you've ever been around, we were the general contractor for a house that we built.
	Just going out.
	It took us forever to do it because we didn't have any leverage with the people who we were going to hire to do the work.
	So it took us forever to get somebody to come there.
	But we watched this thing. And you know, there's a lot of groundwork preparation that goes in.
	And then there's a lot of time that is spent on putting in those footers.
	And you feel like we're never going to get anywhere with this thing.
	Because you've got to have a good foundation.
	Because if you don't have a good foundation, it all falls apart.
	And what we're seeing now is this country falling apart.
	Because we've moved the building onto a different foundation.
	And it didn't fall apart in the move.
	It fell apart when it got on that foundation.
	And so we need to build a foundation.
	We need to do it from the ground up.
	And that means that it's got to start with us, each of us as individuals.
	And so we start building the foundation ourselves to be honest men.
	And then we work with other people.
	Nick Ellenbecker.
	D.C. is such a toxic mess.
	Yep. I'm trying to get a job there.
	It must be just as toxic.
	Thomas Massey may be the lone bright spot, but who knows?
	Yeah, I haven't seen anything yet that would be a negative on Thomas Massey.
	Ron Paul was there for a long time.
	The one person. Yeah, Rand Paul is not the successor to Ron Paul.
	The successor to Ron Paul is Thomas Massey.
	Interesting that both Thomas Massey and Rand Paul are in Kentucky, and one of them is a true successor to Ron.
	Ron Threewolf, David, I didn't go to D.C. because of you.
	Thank you. Well, thank you for letting me know that.
	I just couldn't stress it enough with people to not go there.
	And I even said it in the morning, get away from that place.
	It's a trap. The Common Man The Common Man They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

	Thank you.
	A couple of decisions in the Supreme Court thing that were released yesterday that are good decisions and dispensed justice.
	Great wrongs that were done to people.
	One of them done, one of the cases was a horrific situation from the EPA. Another one was a local government and it was, they were trying to take away Everything, including all of the equity of a 94-year-old woman because of unpaid taxes.
	They seized her house, sold it, but they didn't just take what they said they were owed in taxes.
	They took all of it.
	And she fought it all the way to the Supreme Court, and they sided unanimously with this 94-year-old woman, which is good.
	I was glad to see that happen.
	This has happened. That is not an isolated case.
	There have been many cases like that.
	And this particular case with the EPA was over the Clean Waters Act and how they have expanded this with the EPA into waters of the U.S. Just like we talk about SCOTUS, the Supreme Court of the U.S. Or we talk about POTUS,
	the President of the U.S. Well, they talk about the Clean Waters Act and they call it WOTUS. The waters of the U.S. And they think they all belong to them, right?
	And it is woe to us if they get away with that.
	And so the Supreme Court sharply divided a 5-4 decision.
	And boy, they strongly disagreed on this.
	But the majority decision slapped the EPA back a little bit.
	It pitted Michael and Chantel Sackett against EPA regulators over a bid to build a family home adjacent to Priest Lake in northern Idaho.
	There was another case that was very much like this, and I don't know how that one turned out.
	I didn't have time to look at it.
	The other case, I don't think it was this case.
	It wasn't building a family home.
	And the other case, I think it was in Montana.
	And the family had eight acres.
	And they wanted to build a small pond.
	They had eight acres and they had like a cow or something like that, you know, maybe a couple of animals, livestock on that eight acres.
	And so they dug out an area where it was all dry and, you know, lined it like you will with a pond with some of the stuff that will keep the water from seeping into the ground and then put a pond there.
	And they wanted it for their recreational use and for the livestock to water it.
	The city, county, well it wasn't the city, but the county, the state didn't have any problem with it, but the EPA got involved and came after them and fought them for years and ran up unbelievable amounts of fines, just astronomical, violation of the Bill of Rights, excessive punishment.
	But they had no jurisdiction there.
	They said, this doesn't connect to anything, it's a pond.
	Oh, but it's water, and so it could somehow get out there into the waters of the U.S. that we own, said the EPA. And they even got to the point where they tried to garnish his wages.
	Because he had a job, he wasn't a farmer or anything.
	I mean, this is just a pond to swim in and a pond for a couple of livestock that were there.
	They tried to garnish his wages.
	And that got slapped down.
	When I first saw this, I thought it was that case, but I think it's different because these people are trying to build a home, and they're in northern Idaho.
	And I think the other one was in Montana.
	But anyway, the family argued that the property is not directly connected to the lake.
	It is a different case.
	And that the broad EPA regulations are an overreach.
	In 2017, a fractured Supreme Court said that the EPA can regulate any wetlands with a significant nexus to navigable waters like rivers, lakes, and oceans.
	Thursday, however, Alito, writing for a five-justice majority, said the existing standard is too broad, too difficult to enforce, and too precarious for property owners.
	Well, it's just unjust.
	And of course, the government will do anything that they can to control everything.
	To me, this is the same type of thing that is happening where the government says we own everything and you own nothing.
	You're not going to be a stakeholder.
	In a sense, it's very similar to what is being done to the farmers in the Netherlands.
	Of course, that is directly about the UN 2030 agenda and taking the...
	Taking away food supply, coming after the Netherlands, the second largest exporter of food in the world, after the United States.
	So they want to push us into starvation and into slavery and austerity and all the rest of this.
	Interestingly, Kavanaugh joined with the liberal justices in this.
	It wasn't Roberts, but it was Kavanaugh who was there as the 5-4.
	That's usually the way things split, is with Roberts joining them.
	But it looks like, as I've said before...
	That Kavanaugh is a younger version of John Roberts.
	Somebody that they think is a conservative that was put in by a Republican, but he's really a closet liberal.
	Agents claim that the residential building land in Priest Lake was protected wetlands even though it wasn't wet and even though it wasn't attached to any waters.
	And it was surrounded by homes on other lots.
	So why would they single these people out?
	Again, it's absolutely amazing.
	They said it was a second straight victory at the high court for the Sacketts, who earlier had to go all the way to the top because EPA said they couldn't even challenge the decision in court.
	You see, that's how arrogant the bureaucracy has become.
	And our politicians...
	You know, they have Congress, both the House and the Senate, have abdicated their power and pushed everything that they can over to the bureaucracy.
	It's one of the reasons why when they were talking about Obamacare, remember how Nancy Pelosi said, we've got to pass it to find out what's in it.
	And that was one of the most truthful things that she ever said.
	She was laughed at by conservatives.
	Oh, she doesn't even know what she is.
	She's getting old and senile.
	No, she was telling you the truth.
	Telling you the truth. So we're going to come back to this a little bit later.
	But we have our guest who is ready at the moment.
	And so let's go directly to him.
	We won't even take a break. James Roguski is joining us.
	And I don't know any...
	Okay, we're going to take a break and then we're going to come back with James.
	And I'd say I've had him on the show before.
	Nobody has done more research about what is happening with the World Health Organization and the skullduggery that they are enacting in order to try to take over all of our countries the next time they imagine or declare a pandemic.
	We'll be right back. Music 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.

	The David Knight Show dot com.
	Thank you.
	Welcome back, folks. You know, one thing that we have to really fight hard against is complacency.
	There's a narrative out there, oh, we've won.
	You know, we've got the masks off of our face and so forth.
	They haven't taken away any of these pandemic rules even at the local level.
	But while all of this is happening, we have the World Health Organization very busy weaving new nets to ensnare us.
	And as I said before we went to break, James Roguski knows about this better than anybody else.
	So I'm going to kind of turn this over to James and let him update you as to what is happening.
	At the World Health Organization in terms of the ways that they're changing the rules and all the rest of this.
	Thank you for joining us, James. David, you know, you were the first one to give me a chance to talk last year and I appreciate that.
	And so I want this conversation actually to be hilarious because what is going on here?
	Let's focus on sarcasm and satire and snarky reactions to what they're doing because It's like drinking from a fire hose.
	The WHO last year put out their financials, and they spent $3.8 billion, which in the grand scheme of things, though, is a drop in the bucket.
	But 30% of that was spent on salaries.
	They had 8,851 employees who earned an average salary.
	I've got to put in my job application because I'm not being paid that much.
	David, I don't want to make you throw up, but imagine that you were the Director General of the World Health Organization and you had a workforce of 8,851 people and you could pay them $120,000 a year.
	Here's a rhetorical question for you.
	How much propaganda could you generate Yeah, and now they've got ChatGPT to help them, right?
	You know what? I want to get somebody...
	I don't really have time. I want somebody to use ChatGPT to write a pandemic treaty.
	Okay? Because what will probably happen is it will access the final version that I'm sure already exists.
	That's true. Right? And then we'll know where we're headed.
	You know, thank you, ChatGPT.
	If somebody knows how to do that, please go right ahead.
	Okay. I want to talk about the elephants that are in the room and the elephants that, you know, are not in the room but really should be.
	Okay? And so, keeping with the elephant theme, there's a saying, you know, how do you eat an elephant one bite at a time?
	So, what the WHO has been doing this week and this month and, you know, with all of their meetings and their documents, they are just throwing, you know, millions of words at us and, you know, eating it one bite at a time.
	I just want to talk about one article that I was able to obtain, thank you to my friends on Twitter who found it out there in Twitter land.
	They've been quietly circulating an unedited draft of the Bureau's text, and I'll explain that in a minute, of the proposed Convention Agreement Plus.
	Okay? And to put that in English, the Bureau refers to the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body.
	It's a bunch of people, and they have their own little secretariat, which is their own little secretaries, right?
	A little bureaucracy to craft this piece of work.
	I'll just put it that way. So it's kind of a bureaucracy inside of a bureaucracy, and all of these things are nested like Madriowski, right?
	Yeah. We've got to come back to that before we end this session.
	They keep saying that this is a member-nation-led negotiating process.
	This Bureau's text is essentially written by the WHO's secretariat that's assigned to work on this project.
	One of the sections is communication and public awareness.
	David, they wrote this about you.
	Or maybe, I'm not sure, keeping with the snark here, I'm not sure, maybe you've been working with them.
	Because here's what the secretariat employees that make a lot of money are very skilled at doing.
	They're very skilled at writing and using language that when one person looks at it, they see what they want to see.
	When another person looks at it, they see what they want to see.
	When a good person reads the sustainable development goals, and you have the highest belief in your mind of what you want to do to save the world, you read the SDGs and you go, well, you know, these aren't all that bad.
	But if you're an evil overlord, And you've had your minions craft language that when it comes down to, you know, implementation, right, you know how you can interpret it and implement it, right? That's right. Those are the devils of the details.
	You know, they've got these high lofty goals about how we want to have everything clean and sustainable, but then when you look at it, it's like, oh, you've got to take everything from you, right?
	Okay. Yeah. Keeping with the elephant theme, there's a story of, you know, numerous blind people touching an elephant.
	One person touches the ear, right?
	And they think it's a fan.
	Another person touches the trunk.
	They think it's a snake. One person touches the leg and they think it's a tree trunk and, you know, so forth.
	You know, the tusk and all that sort of thing.
	Okay, so... What I would love to do is go over Article 18 with you, as much detail as we can in the next 20 minutes, with the attitude of How would this apply to David Knight in David Knight's world?
	And how would this apply to David Knight looking back over what happened over the last three and a half years?
	And if you're an evil overlord and you get to implement this, how could you interpret it?
	And so Article 18 is about communication and public awareness.
	Well, when I read that, I read censorship.
	This is not public awareness.
	David Knight has been working real hard to communicate and raise the awareness of the public.
	Is that what they mean?
	Maybe you should apply for funding, David, because I think we can see in here, if we read this appropriately, They're talking about you and many other people in the industry who try to do similar things.
	Okay, the parties, I don't know if you can pop up the graphic, you know, in and out, maybe we can talk and show some of the text.
	Yes. It says the parties, which means whoever, whatever nation would decide to sign on to the treaty.
	So it's a party to the agreement, right?
	The parties shall strengthen science.
	Okay? I mean, we've got to go have, you know, Anthony Fauci work out?
	I mean, what does strength in science mean, David?
	It means skepticism. That's how you strengthen science.
	It's like, prove it, show me.
	They don't like that. Okay, all right.
	So we've got to add another S. We've got satire, sarcasm, snark, and...
	There you go. Okay. So the parties shall strengthen science, public health, and pandemic literacy.
	David, you've got to strengthen pandemic literacy.
	Okay. Well, you know, in another part, we won't go into the details, but, you know, in Article 1 of this, they have a definition of I want to see a show this week where you're strengthening people's literacy about their new definition of a pandemic.
	I think when they say pandemic, I would guess, that's code word for pushing this to kids in school.
	There you go. But the good news is that the kids in school don't read.
	They're illiterate, so maybe it won't get through if they do it there.
	We've got a lot of stuff to get to.
	Just in this one nibble of an elephant.
	This is just one page out of a 42-page document out of 10,000 documents.
	Wow. As well as access to information on...
	David, you've got to help people get access to information on pandemics, right?
	The European Union submitted an edition, the last article or the last paragraph of this document said, oh yeah, by the way, this isn't the compilation document.
	There's more coming, right?
	And so I reported a month and a half ago, the European Union submitted a bunch of text, you know, that was supposed to be in here.
	And they wanted to define and in the treaty, as opposed to the amendments, give the director general the authority to declare a pandemic situation.
	So you're going to have to get on the stick, David, and define the difference between a public health emergency of international concern, a public health emergency of regional concern.
	So it's either a fake or a FERC, right?
	Or a PHE, which is what Javier Becerra can do, which is a public health emergency, and a pandemic situation.
	Okay? Well, because currently we are in an We're inter-pandemic period.
	We're post-pandemic.
	So we've got a lot of teaching to do with people to raise their awareness and information on pandemics.
	We have to combat the infodemic.
	David, you're a carrier and a transmitter of infodemics.
	So mind your P's and Q's.
	And you have to tackle, so we're going to have to either play football or rugby, right?
	We're going to have to tackle false, misleading, misinformation, or disinformation.
	Now, never mind that most of that actually comes from three-letter organizations.
	David, let me give you a pat on the back.
	You've been tackling false, misleading, misinformation, or disinformation.
	Let me pat you on the back.
	If you see misinformation, you tackle it.
	Right? So keep up the good work.
	Put in for a grant. I mean, they got billions of dollars coming.
	And including through promotion of international cooperation.
	Right? And in that regard, each party shall...
	I don't know if you can... If you're showing the videos...
	Yes, we got it up. It's going back and forth as you're reading it.
	He puts it up. Beautiful. Okay.
	So you're supposed to promote and facilitate in accordance with national approaches.
	Right? Oh, okay.
	So maybe you have to do a show in the UK or Australia and adjust your message appropriately so that you can get your point across.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Laws and regulations and the development and implementation of risk communication.
	So, David, you have to make sure that people understand the risks.
	Whatever's going on.
	Community engagement.
	David, you've got to engage with your community.
	Infodemic management.
	There's a lot of information out there, David.
	You've got to make sure that you manage it well.
	And educational and public awareness programs on pandemics and their effects in a way that is broadly accessible.
	You might want to add your program to more platforms.
	Now, see, here's the point.
	If you were an evil overlord, what would that look like?
	If you had 8,800 51 employees and you were paying them $120,000 a year or you were part of the Trusted News Initiative.
	How would you read this?
	Which part of the elephant is this for those people?
	If you're with the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post or the New York Times or MSNBC, How do you read this?
	I'll keep going. You have to conduct regular community outreach, social listening.
	You've got to be watching what's going on in society and on social media, Dave.
	Periodic analysis and consultations with civil society organizations.
	Dave, you're dropping the ball.
	You've got to get Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation representatives on the show.
	You've got to communicate with all of these folks who are involved in these public-private partnerships, which is essentially fascism.
	And you're just not talking to those kind of people, David.
	You've got to do outreach to civil society because people like me, I'm not civilized.
	I'm not part of an organization.
	I'm not a member of civil society.
	I'm not considered to be a relevant stakeholder.
	I don't have an ongoing relationship in their capacity with the WHO, so I don't get a seat at the table.
	I guess that's why we're not essential.
	Exactly. Exactly.
	To identify the prevalence and profiles of misinformation.
	Well, Matt did a video, I don't know if you've seen it, it's like 11 minutes.
	Of all of the propaganda that, you know, Fauci and Rochelle Walensky and all of those, you know, all of the things they said, how, oh, if you get the jab, you know, you're not going to get sick, and, you know, all of the many things.
	We have to identify the prevalence and profiles of misinformation.
	So maybe you could run a weekly series and profile, you know, how they do in a lot of these...
	News shows, right?
	You know, profiles in courage, okay?
	You could do profiles in misinformation and just feature, you know, whatever it is you've observed, which contribute...
	It's a little weird wording, but...
	You have to design communications and messaging strategies for the public to counteract misinformation, disinformation, and false news.
	That might be Travis. He might be the one who's designing the messaging strategies, right?
	To strengthen public trust.
	Because, you know, David, the problem was all of this vaccine hesitancy.
	That's right. You've got to trust the science, and they are the science.
	Well, step number one is you have to strengthen the science first, so go put it through a workout, right?
	And promoting adherence to public health and social measures.
	So people have to adhere to public health and social measures.
	So if you see those blue footprints six feet away from each other at the grocery store checkout line, you've got to adhere to that dictate.
	Make sure you're not getting closer to the person in front of you.
	I think we might actually get through this, David.
	We're halfway through and we're about halfway through.
	You have to promote communications on scientific, engineering, and technological advances that are relevant to the development and implementation of national and international rules and guidelines for prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery of health systems based on science and available evidence when appropriate.
	Now, David, you know that a good, healthy diet is important.
	And I have to tell you, for the last year, I've been living on the WHO's word salad.
	Because that's what they...
	I'll put it this way.
	You know how some ethnic foods only have a handful of ingredients, but they come up with all kinds of different meals out of just a small subset of types of food?
	Sure. The WHO has a handful of terminology, right?
	You know, PPR, we've got to deal with pandemic prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
	We've got to have a whole of society and a whole of government approach.
	We've got to use the one health approach.
	You know, David, no one is safe until everyone is safe, and nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
	And if you learn their lingo, you can literally just throw that word salad out there and probably get yourself a grant.
	Yeah. Alright, I'm going to keep going here.
	Take effective measures to increase digital health literacy.
	David, digital health.
	You need to have your audience have digital health literacy among the public and within the health sector through education and meaningful engagement, including clinicians, health sector stakeholders.
	That's the key.
	To summarize, this is just one article in the 42-page proposed treating.
	This is really...
	Not a treaty about health.
	This is a prospectus for venture capital, for organized crime, to redistribute wealth and build out what I call the pharmaceutical hospital emergency industrial complex.
	What they're doing is they're saying, look, we have to build the industry because if we have, in every nation, More laboratories that can do genomic testing.
	We won't fail like we did last time.
	We could really create a case-demic Because they didn't have enough testing.
	They didn't have enough people going into your chicken coop or your waste treatment plant or the LA River.
	Because we could find pathogens that could cause a pandemic almost anywhere we look.
	And what we need to build is the capacity to do PCR tests at 45 cycles on everything on the planet so that we can have an early warning that there could be, you know, a deadly pathogen out there.
	You might want to test like, you know, do a ring around all of the level four labs because, you know, you probably have good luck finding something.
	You can find everything, anything that you want.
	Crank up the cycles as high as you want and you get everything.
	Right.
	We only got two more to go.
	I think we're going to make it.
	Yeah.
	The parties shall, as appropriate, conduct research and inform policies.
	Well, hold on a second. The parties shall, as appropriate, David, do whatever you think is appropriate.
	Yeah, so you don't have to conduct research, only if it's appropriate, right?
	Okay, and that phrase, you know, it's all throughout this, you know, you got to do this kind of if you want to, right?
	Conduct research and inform policies.
	You have to, you know, I don't even know what that means.
	You have to Inform your policy.
	Not inform your people.
	They have this pret thing where essentially what they want to do.
	I think you're maybe familiar with the group ALEC that writes legislation and then they clone it and then all of a sudden...
	American Legislative Exchange Council.
	That's right. Okay. I think they're kind of sort of doing a similar thing where they're saying, look, here's the policy.
	Oh, look, we wrote it for you.
	You might have to change a couple of words for your province or state, but we're going to inform.
	Why don't you inform your policy with our template?
	And here's the thing.
	They're already doing that, and they have been for years.
	One of the quotes in another document said that they're operationalizing The things that are being negotiated.
	The Global Digital Health Certification Network is being built, right?
	The vaccine passports, the testing passports, all that sort of thing.
	And so I'll give you this analogy.
	I'm going to step away from the elephants just for a moment.
	If you had six people in a room and you said, hey, we're going to order a pizza.
	Tell me what toppings you want on the pizza.
	But you throw the pizza in the oven because you've already decided what kind of pizza you want.
	You've thrown all kinds of toppings on it, right?
	You put a couple here and a couple there.
	You could have the pizza ready before the six people decide what kind of pizza they want.
	And they're arguing amongst themselves.
	And the pizza comes out of the oven and you go, hey, here's the pizza.
	And you can have it.
	You can take it or leave it.
	Well, whatever it is they thought they wanted, right?
	They're going to eat the pizza that you give them.
	And that's what's going on here now.
	There's 194 member nations going through the facade, going through the charade of a member nation-led negotiating process.
	They all think that, you know, they have forgotten that GPT already wrote the final version.
	And we're going through these iterations, right?
	The nations are being led by a ring in their nose by the World Health Organization and their secretariat and their bureau.
	They know where this is going because they're already building the networks.
	They're building the digital network for the tracking and tracing system.
	They're building out the pathogen laboratories that every nation is going to have to send all their pathogens and genomic sequences to.
	Mm-hmm. This is a feta complete.
	They're building it while they're saying, why don't you guys negotiate it?
	And next year, they're going to hand them the finished pizza, and they're going to sign on, and every nation around the world will have already written the legislation implementing the What they're building, the negotiations are a scam.
	And I'm only talking about the treaty, because they're talking about the treaty, and you haven't heard boo about the proposed amendments to the international health regulations.
	And before we move on, you know, the RAND Corporation came up with this thing called the Delphi technique, and they were going around in the early 2000s when it was still called Agenda 21 before it became UN 2030 Agenda, and they would have these community meetings, and they would rig it so that they'd already worked out what they wanted to do, but they would get the people that were there to think that it was their idea.
	They would have a phony consensus, but they'd already cooked the pizza, as you just pointed out.
	Let's plow through this.
	I think we're going to make it.
	Yeah.
	You have to inform your policies on factors that hinder adherence to public health and social measures in a pandemic, including confidence, right?
	Uptake and demand of vaccines.
	There you go. There's the kernel in here.
	That's the root of it all.
	Use of appropriate therapeutics.
	Not that ivermectin hydroxychloroquine and vitamin C and D. Don't be doing that.
	It's not appropriate. Use of non-pharmaceutical interventions.
	Wow, maybe there's something there for me to bite into and think that this is on my side.
	And trust in science and government institutions.
	Well, good luck there.
	That's not making a comeback.
	The parties shall promote a science and evidence-informed approach to effective and timely risk assessment.
	Oh, we're supposed to do risk assessment on the decisions that we make?
	I don't know, that's going to be trouble.
	Mindful of the uncertainty and evolving nature of data and evidence during a pandemic.
	You know, Fauci wasn't wrong.
	Biden wasn't wrong.
	Rochelle Walensky wasn't wrong.
	The data evolved.
	Which it does.
	But, you know, don't ignore that.
	When communicating such risk to the public.
	So, here's what I'd like to communicate to the public, right?
	If you can see in here things that could apply to David Knight, but you can see things in here that might apply to, you know, the government agencies and the Trusted News Initiative, the skill in writing language...
	That anyone, you know, like the blind people touching an elephant.
	What do you see?
	You know, it's like a Rorschach test, right?
	Here's one article.
	David, what do you see in here?
	What do you see in here?
	Well, all of the relevant stakeholders see the potential for grant money.
	Oh, we're going to implement, and this is just one article, we're going to be busy implementing, you know, Article 17 or 20 or whatever.
	Give us money, give us money, give us money, give us money.
	They're talking about billions and billions of dollars here, but then someone else can come along and you can look at this and you can go, you know, what would I do if I had A billion dollars and I can pay 8,800 people 120 grand a year.
	I think I would do some good.
	Well, I know we're tight on time and so here's what I want to say to everybody.
	Give me a phone call, right?
	My phone number is 310-619-3055.
	If you want to take a bite out of this elephant and have some fun with it, there's plenty more to talk about.
	What's coming up in June, I'm going to give everybody early advance warning.
	I'm not psychic. I just read the Federal Register and I see their calendar of events.
	If people go to silenceequalsconsent.com It's all spelled out.
	You don't put an equal sign in the URL. Don't do a search for it.
	Just go straight there.
	silenceequalsconsent.com They've opened up what they call a listening session.
	And the last time we had one of these, a good friend of mine absolutely ripped them a new one.
	And I was able to record that and publish it about a month ago.
	We are all going to have the opportunity to put in, and please do it yourself, David.
	Go there, send them an email.
	They're having a listening session.
	We will be able to speak directly to the Office of Global Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services about the treaty and the amendments, two separate listening sessions.
	Send in your application.
	You can send in written comment.
	And that is the department that pays the salaries and writes the checks for your delegates to the WHO. Wow.
	Learn all about this.
	Understand what it is you believe and what you feel about this.
	And in June, we get to rip them a new one.
	So silence equals consent will show you where you can go to get into this process and get into, you know, submit your question.
	It's a domain name that points to an article on my Substack, jamesrogusky.substack.com.
	J-A-M-E-S-R-O-G-U-S-K-I.substack.com It's an article.
	What I encourage people to do is record a video, put it up on whatever platform you want, say whatever you want to say, and then send that to your congresspeople.
	You go to exitthewho.com and yell and scream at your congresspeople.com That's right.
	A lot of people do it.
	And so just, you know, you don't have to do something that's going to be award-winning argument.
	Just do something and put it up there.
	And it's just the weight of all of these different responses.
	And send it to me.
	I will add it to the collection.
	I've got several hundred videos that people around the world have done.
	And it's all on screwthewho.com.
	Screwthewho.com.
	Exitthewho.com.
	But, you know, silence equals consent.
	Silence equals consent. And give me a phone call.
	310-619-3055.
	James, thank you so much.
	You have done so much work on this.
	You have been tireless. Nobody has done more detail.
	Oh, no. No, I'm tired.
	I'm tired. I bet you are.
	I bet you are. That's the kind of stuff that you went through right there.
	That is really a heavy lift to go through all that bureaucratic language.
	But it is just, you can look at that and you can understand that Tedros, you know, a Marxist, is running the organization that would put up something like that.
	I never thought word salad could be so nutritious.
	It's been sustaining me.
	It just reeks of all that stuff, doesn't it?
	Okay, we're going to take a break, folks, and we'll be right back.
	Thank you, James. James for a guest.
	Always a pleasure. Thank you.
	All right. We'll be right back. You're
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, folks, we have to burn everything we have to burn everything down.
	The greatest reset Europe could achieve net zero by demolishing its historic buildings, says an Italian central banker.
	Yes, that is the goal. It is to eradicate Western civilization.
	That is what this is really about.
	It's about eradicating Western civilization, and of course, it is also about taking everything from us, not just our civilization.
	All of our food, transportation, clothing, you name it.
	Top central banker has warned of the damage that the rush to net zero risks doing to Europe's economy.
	It illustrates a point by noting that erasing Europe's built heritage would be necessary in order to meet extreme green demands.
	Paolo Angelini, deputy governor of the Bank of Italy, was commenting about the European net zero targets.
	He said we risk doing more harm than good.
	He's not in favor of this, by the way.
	But he says, hey, if you really want to get serious about it, let's tear it down.
	And he said the level of change that would actually be needed would actually cause more harm than good.
	He said when he was being interviewed by Politico, He said, they told me if you allow us to tear down all of our historical buildings and build energy-efficient ones, then we can do it.
	He says, do we really want to go there?
	This is a central banker who is saying this.
	He said the Bank of Italy wouldn't be committing itself to net zero anytime soon, not because he didn't believe in the cause, but simply because with the technology presently available, he didn't think it was physically possible.
	And you could say this about every aspect.
	Of burning down the country.
	Not physically possible.
	For the time being, I'm refraining from raising my hand and saying that the Bank of Italy, we're going to go to net zero because I don't have the technology, the ability to be certain about the pledge.
	And the Bank of Italy itself is headquartered in Palazzo Koch in Italy.
	An impressively grand 19th century palace named for its architect, which features a money museum and significant interiors and state rooms.
	And if they're successful, these people will put both religion and money into a museum.
	That's what they always wanted to do.
	Turn the churches into museums.
	Well, they can turn our money will be existing only in museums.
	So he's not going to go there.
	With this bank, he says, we don't have the technology, we don't have the ability to be certain about this pledge.
	But in New York...
	They are going to go there. New York City is coming after banks if they don't come after gun owners, gun shops, and gun retailers.
	If they don't follow the climate agenda.
	If they don't follow the DEI, or I think more appropriately the DIE agenda.
	If they don't do that, they've already told some very large banks that are perfectly sound.
	That they're not going to be putting any more money with them, even though they're getting tens of millions of dollars from New York City.
	They're using that as leverage and that kind of ESG approach.
	Essentially saying we're going to purge you out of the financial system.
	We're going to put you out of business if you don't fall in line with this.
	Well, in the Bank of Italy, they're not going to do that.
	They love their... Impressive buildings that they have there.
	In the UK, an advisor to London Mayor Sadiq Khan said that traditional architecture is offensive because, in her view, it harkens back to oppression.
	She doesn't have any problem with oppression.
	She just has a problem with other people's oppression.
	She's not. This whole thing is oppression.
	Recent modern grand projects to create homes for large government organizations, says Breitbart, have run considerably over budget and over time compared to their traditional architecture alternatives.
	And they're ugly. In one particularly egregious case, the Scottish Parliament cost four times its budget and has needed remedial work on its roof since, as the aggressively modernist design failed to meet the most basic and ancient requirements for a building, that it keep the rain out.
	Yeah, that's the real issue about this stuff.
	It's not functional.
	And that's a metaphor for everything that is happening in With the climate agenda.
	The cancellation of classical music is part of it as well.
	And this is an example of how you cannot appease these people.
	Heather MacDonald.
	I had a piece in Spike about a woman, Donna Vaughn, longtime artistic director of opera at the Manhattan School of Music, and that was until August of 2020.
	She has done, she has singing, acting, and even directing on on and off Broadway and on opera.
	And so In 2020, when everything was locked down, she was doing a Zoom class.
	And part of her background, besides its extensive professional experience, she was also a true believer in all this woke stuff.
	She wanted minority musicians to get involved and understand and be exposed to classical music.
	So she endowed a scholarship for minorities, minority musicians.
	She, besides the classics...
	She produced socially conscious contemporary works, and she was part of the tribe, you know, just like Robespierre.
	Who eventually was beheaded by the French mob on the guillotines that he had championed.
	And that's kind of what happened to her.
	She had done a feminist opera about a 17th century nun that got performance and so forth.
	But it was in this Zoom class that she was teaching on musical theater.
	An unidentified participant, whose name and image were blacked out, asked her, out of the blue...
	How could she justify having produced Franz Lehar's allegedly racist operetta, The Land of Smiles?
	Well, they said it was racist because they said that they didn't like the way it depicted Asians.
	Franz Lehar goes back a long way, if I remember correctly.
	I think he was a contemporary of Johann Strauss.
	But anyway, I may be wrong about that.
	But anyway, Vaughn cut the questioner off.
	She said, that's irrelevant to what we're talking about.
	She just cut him off. Well, that was proof of guilt right there to these people.
	So the Manhattan School of Music student petition was immediately forthcoming.
	She had to be fired because she was, quote, a danger to the arts community.
	She wasn't part of the tribe.
	She didn't denounce this sufficiently.
	This is all textbook Marxism.
	You see all of this stuff throughout the Russian Revolution, the Lenin and the rest of these people, right?
	You can't be neutral.
	You have to denounce yourself.
	You have to denounce other people.
	You have to hate what they do.
	And if you don't, they come for you as well.
	They started going back into her production.
	Accused her, or said, she had cast a black singer as a butler.
	And that that proved a racism.
	There you go. So she was fired and replaced by a black male.
	I guess you could say they were blackmailing her already in a different way.
	No, when you go back, this reminds me of nothing as much as it does the trials of the Russian composer Shostakovich, who Stalin came after.
	Did not like his music.
	Didn't think that his music was...
	And everything that he did, after Stalin went to one of his concerts, disliked the piece, all the critics loved it.
	Stalin made his disapproval known, and then overnight, all the critics turned against him.
	This is just authoritarianism, writ large.
	Just like that treaty we just saw there.
	These people are going to bring everybody into submission.
	Well, you're not alone.
	Anger is building across the world, says Advancing Time Blog.
	If you are tired of watching your government grow increasingly oppressive and corrupt, people around the world are.
	And this is coming together, coming in a fourth turning, and this is Both good news and troubling news, because we know that if people wake up enough that they're going to take us to war to try to tamp this down, I think is what's going to happen.
	But we take one thing at a time.
	I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees.
	And so we need to keep that perspective in front of us.
	Mass media has perfected the fine art of dividing us and at the same time keeping us in the dark.
	The greatest risk we face may be AI. That is coming at us fast and furious.
	And once it's here, getting real information is going to be almost impossible.
	That is the key thing.
	That's why I began talking about all the hallucinations of chat GPT. I said, this is very convincing, but it is also untrue.
	And when you look at what is happening on social media, This is a mainstream media article that is wringing their hands about how climate scientists are fleeing Twitter.
	As hostility, they said, is surging.
	Yeah, they're being, as I say, ratioed.
	They're not doing a very good job of convincing people, and people are coming back at them.
	As a matter of fact, there was a tweet yesterday, and it showed this volcano.
	Hello. And they were saying, well, since this thing is spewing more climate-changing gases into the atmosphere than my SUV is, why are we so focused on my SUV? Is it because they haven't figured out how to tax volcanoes yet?
	This is an eruption at Mount Etna in Italy, but of course there's another one that is happening on the cusp of happening, or maybe it's going on right now, in Mexico that they're very concerned about.
	Scientists are suffering insults and mass spam, and they're abandoning Twitter for alternative social networks because of hostile climate change denialism.
	And so that person put that tweet up, another individual, and I retweeted the other tweet, and I responded to his criticism.
	He goes, well, you have no idea what you're talking about.
	And he was somebody who had written a book about the climate hoax.
	And so he engaged her with just, you're just ignorant.
	And so I said, oh, really?
	And so I responded to him, and he came back, and he was very condescending about it.
	And I said, no, you know, I'm just sick and tired of the lies coming from people who just want to scare other people and want to hide the truth and who keep changing their stories.
	And, you know, I've seen it.
	I've seen it with Michael Mann and all the rest of this stuff.
	And so, anyway, the adversarial actors at home and abroad, that's how they see you, as adversarial actors.
	Which non-foreign adversaries do the elites have in mind when they promote domestic censorship and blocking of the news?
	Well, we know. You know, it is now the main focus for what they're going to go back to Is the climate MacGuffin.
	And they're going to go back and forth.
	It's going to be left, right, left, right.
	Both the pandemic and the climate allow them to scare people with a fake existential threat.
	And it justifies them taking everything from us if you buy into the fear.
	And that's why we can't say, this is not the right way to, we've got a better way to handle the emissions.
	You've got to tackle it head on.
	You've got to say, look, this whole thing is a lie.
	Look at what they're doing to the PCR test.
	Look at the statistics, how they're rigging all this stuff.
	Look at what they're doing in terms of measuring temperatures.
	All of these MacGuffins are a direct war against each and every one of us and our way of life.
	The EU has approved $1.5 billion to forcibly confiscate land from the Dutch farmers.
	Now that may sound like a lot of money, but that's going to be spread out over 3,000 farms.
	So we're talking about an average of only a half a million dollars.
	This is theft.
	This is as bad as the EPA trying to take over the property.
	These people have a couple of acres in Idaho or Montana.
	This is much worse than that.
	You know that these farms are worth many, many multiples of $500,000.
	And of course it's going to help to create a global food issue because they are the second largest exporter of food, second only to the United States.
	Well, the May 3rd approval of 1.5 billion euros to buy out Dutch farmers, the EU has signaled its intention to go through with a forcible closure of up to 3,000 Dutch farms.
	And it is simply theft.
	Simply theft. One of the rules that has come out, as a matter of fact, as well, for the farms that they would allow to continue, they've got to limit Of two cows per field.
	And we're talking about how big is a field?
	Well, it's about the size of a soccer field, what we would say.
	They call it a football pitch.
	So, you know, about the size of a football field here in the United States, an American football field.
	You can only have two cows on that amount of land.
	And so, it's all about the particular gas with this is going to be methane, right?
	How much stuff is released by these volcanoes?
	And you don't think that that really changes the climate?
	I mean, we've had, you know, he wants to say, well, this is nothing.
	As a matter of fact, On that particular tweet, when I first saw it, there wasn't anything there.
	But then there was a climate note that was attached to it on Twitter, you know, because they have this thing where people who disagree with something can put a disclaimer at the bottom of it.
	That's their approach to doing it rather than outright censoring it.
	And so somebody put something there and said, well, you know, actually...
	The man-made CO2 is more than a hundred times the amount of gas that is put out there by all of the volcanoes combined.
	Now you know that's just nonsense.
	That is absolute nonsense.
	Just one volcano, a very large one, Krakatoa, east of Java, in the 19th century blew up and it affected climate around the globe for several years.
	They had a little mini ice age.
	Very, very severe winters for several years.
	It ejects so much gas and other material that it affects the climate.
	And they want you to believe that That these volcanoes, that all the volcanoes releasing CO2 gas and everything else, that that is going to be not anything that affects the climate, but humans will.
	Again, go back to the fact that only 0.4% The atmosphere has CO2. And that's from all natural as well as man-made sources.
	And they don't have and won't show you the data to prove otherwise.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Stay with us. Show we've got a problem.
	Hello, what? Who are you?
	It's the new mug they're selling at thedavidknightshow.com, right?
	So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right?
	Right?
	'Cause basically you can't hold coffee with your hands, right?
	I'm a scat and leave, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm being ready for it, you dog-faced pony soldier.
	They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world.
	This could be bad for us.
	Save the world? But we owe the world.
	These people, they're supporting free speech with every month they buy.
	Come on. These people, I tell you, well, anyway.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, so...
	so people say that you don't care But you've got nicer legs and little And bigger pleasure Henry Kissinger That
	was the picture that they had in his article.
	Really posh settings there in Lisbon.
	And he said, at Bilderberg, the big wig bash, two things are guaranteed, Kissinger and secrecy.
	So we don't know where Kissinger is now.
	We did know where his whereabouts for a couple of days, and that's basically it.
	The Portuguese son was doing its cheery best to make this year's Bilderberg meeting seem warm and welcome, but nothing could take the deathly chill out of the official agenda of the secretive shindig for some of the world's most powerful people.
	Charlie Skelton, great writer, nice guy, got to talk to him at all the different Bilderbergs that I went to, and He does it every single year.
	Never misses him. And he always has some interesting insights on this.
	He said, Ukraine, Russia, and NATO weighed heavily on the schedule.
	Fiscal challenges and transnational threats seemed like light relief because of the war effort here.
	He said the head of NATO, Jen Stoltenberg, arrived in Lisbon to attend the talks, said our security environment is more dangerous than it has been since the Cold War.
	Well, that's inspiring, isn't it?
	The annual three-day conference that was last weekend, an elite networking event, a diplomatic summit, a lobbying opportunity for transnational financial interests, an intense focus of conspiracy theory gossip, But above all, the 69th Bilderberg Conference at the glorious Pastana Palace appeared like a council of war.
	Very true. Very true.
	A comment from Brian and Deb McCartney about what we just talked about at the farms.
	They're culling chickens and poultry in Russia due to a new scarient.
	Yeah, like a variant, a scary variant.
	A bird brain flu.
	I like that.
	On one farm, they culled over 800,000 birds for nothing but the agenda.
	And understand that Redfield, the guy who was Trump's CDC stooge, Is out there, keeps pushing bird flu for us.
	And you look at what they are saying now even about monkeypox.
	Oh, we had to change it to mpox.
	Why did they do that? Well, because it is associated with the homosexual community.
	It is associated, like AIDS, with certain activities.
	But they want to make it about a virus so they can produce a vaccine.
	Right? That was Fauci's original scam was the HIV virus as a cause of AIDS. Right?
	Let's forget about the activity that people are engaged in.
	As they talk about this, they say, well, we've got to have this new vaccine that we're going to rush to market because why?
	Well, because summer is coming around and these people are going to get more active in their activities and so we need to have a vaccine ready for them.
	I'm surprised since these are things that these diseases have civil liberties and you've got to be very careful about what you say.
	About AIDS. I'm surprised that they don't push back and say, you're targeting the LGBT community for death.
	That's what he's doing with his monkeypox stuff.
	Yeah, so again, it is an agenda for extreme tax and control.
	Yeah, says Nick Allenbecker.
	He's right. But getting back to Bilderberg, which is another agenda for control.
	He said, Ukraine's foreign minister had not come to Lisbon because he loves the happy clatter of trams and the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe wasn't here for the custard tarks, which was a shame because they're excellent.
	He said, I guess they can't risk dusting them with cinnamon in Henry Kissinger's presence since one sneeze might be enough to carry him off to his reward.
	But on the eve of his 100th birthday, think about that, the next time, if he's still around, When Bilderberg turns 70, Kissinger will be turning 100.
	Now that's going to be a big birthday celebration.
	The former U.S. Secretary of State, the former president more accurately, And long-time Bilderberg kingpin will be delighted, or whatever dull ache he feels instead of delight, to see so many intelligence officials at this meeting because they're Kissinger's kind of people.
	China's overarching aim is to rearrange the world, said Lisbon attendee Elizabeth Economy.
	That's her name, Economy.
	Senior advisor for China at the Department of Commerce.
	How about that? Ironically, The only economy that you will find at the Commerce Department.
	It's a woman named Elizabeth Economy.
	Maybe that's why they put her there.
	They don't mind a new world order, but they want it to be manufactured at Bilderberg and not made in China.
	The twin threats of Chinese technology are intertwined in the thinking of Eric Schmidt.
	And, of course, that was one of the key insights, I think, from Peter Charest's book, The Four Battlegrounds.
	How are we going to be battling China in ways of artificial intelligence and technology?
	And Eric Schmidt is now the elephant in the room, for sure, with the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex.
	And he has a big influence in that.
	But the entire military-industrial complex, and again, Peter Charest, who wrote the book, has very interesting insights about artificial intelligence.
	But also, they give their insights as to what they think is important, and it's important to know what they are pushing.
	And what they're pushing is war with China in every way, as well as artificial intelligence.
	So Eric Schmidt told a congressional hearing that AI is very much at the center of the competition between China and the U.S., that China is now dedicating enormous resources to outpace the U.S. in technology.
	So it's an arms race or a brain race.
	And give me more money.
	That was what Sam Altman was doing there as well.
	Stoking fear, pushing for a monopoly, and pushing the Senate to protect his business and to make sure that he didn't get competition.
	So he was there at Bilderberg as well.
	And so Charlie Skelton says, Smith says that AI needs appropriate guardrails.
	But he caused a stir last week for suggesting snoodily that AI companies should be self-regulating because, quote, there's no way a non-industry person can understand what is possible.
	So Kissinger's been there on and off since 1957.
	His preoccupation with secrecy and personal diplomacy was what he wrote in a 1975 profile.
	Or somebody else wrote about him, but I'm sure he had a lot of input into that.
	It's the desire for privacy in these annual talks sometimes tumbles over into paranoia.
	On Thursday, listen to this.
	The Guardian met the European head of Bilderberg, Victor Halberstadt, coming out of a pharmacy in Lisbon, clutching a packet of barrier skin cream.
	Halberstadt didn't just ignore a polite media approach.
	He flat-out denied that he was Victor Halberstadt.
	And then hopped into a Mercedes, which whisked him off through the security cordon.
	And that's the way these guys are.
	It is truly amazing.
	Talk about the paranoia that exists with the elite.
	They are scared to death of us.
	Because they know what they're planning.
	And they know that we've got even just an inkling of just a portion of what they're planning for us.
	That their freedom and perhaps their lives are at stake.
	That's the reality of this.
	This kind of Cold War cloak and daggerism seems oddly anachronistic for a conference that is hosting a cutting-edge conversation.
	That's all it is. No business being done.
	I told you this story many times about the UK attendee who was trying to get his credentials out.
	Karen was right there filming it.
	And when he opened up his luggage, everything that spilled out was paperwork.
	All papers. Bags full of papers.
	No clothes, no toothbrush, nothing.
	So it had three prime ministers, two deputy PMs, the president of the European Parliament, the president of Eurogroup, vice president of the European Commission, two EU commissioners, an MP, an MEP rather, any number of European ministers and members of the House of Lords.
	Big Pharma was there, Merck, Pfizer, the director of AstraZeneca, And of course, big media was there as well.
	The president of Goldman Sachs, a lot of big finance.
	These are two of the most powerful financial lobbyists in the world.
	They had the president of Goldman Sachs and one other person he talks about.
	And yet, they get three luxurious days to chew the fat with policymakers.
	No conflict of interest there.
	No corruption there.
	No need to have any disclosure about it.
	It's just a party. We're not doing any business.
	We've just got a suitcase full of papers.
	This is the dark heart of Bilderberg's accountability problem.
	Just because a conference plays out in private doesn't mean that the talks take place in some kind of sanctified orb in which the commercial concerns of Luxembourg-based hedge fund boss like Raleigh Van Rappert, the co-chair of CBC Capital Partners, are somehow temporarily suspended.
	When the Spanish foreign minister is mulling over Ukraine with the head of NATO, He's doing it within earshot of some of the world's most rapacious investors, like Henry Kravis of KKR, where David Petraeus works.
	These are people whose billions depend on having the informational edge over their competitors.
	And it's hard to know what the Griffins and the Van Rappards are even doing there except to pick up geostrategic tidbits to help them make a quick buck.
	Yet that doesn't seem to raise any ethical red flags with any of the politicians who trot to the talks.
	They're quite happy to talk Turkey behind the Bougainville's and the bunch of billionaires and the profiteers.
	Well, yesterday, you talk about how the elites party.
	Elon Musk wasn't there, at least not this time.
	You know, his friend Peter Thiel has been there many times.
	Alex Karp, who was the guy who was involved in PayPal, but he was the founder of Palantir, big spy thing.
	He's always there. But yesterday, we saw stories coming out about Elon Musk, I'm not going to Bilderberg, but taking exploratory journeys of the psychological kind.
	Talking about psychedelic mushrooms and ecstasy, MDMA. He prefers those, he says, over alcohol, over pharmaceutical drugs.
	But this really is the true meaning of the pharmakia in the biblical sense.
	I talk about these people and how It literally is broad enough just to mean drugs, pharmakia, but it's usually translated in the Bible as sorcery because it was the kind of drugs that would give people hallucinogenic effects.
	It would open them up to other influences, let's just say.
	And Elon Musk, it turns out, from what people are saying, is somewhat of an evangelist for the pharmakia, for the sorcery, for the hallucinogenic drugs, as well as people like Joe Rogan.
	Times spoke with over 40 people, New York Times, who have spent time with him over the last decade and a half.
	Said that they had to speak under terms of anonymity because they were worried about repercussions as well as non-disclosure agreements that they were required to sign to go to the parties that Musk was going to.
	Now, ask yourself, how many parties have you gone to who you need to sign a non-disclosure agreement?
	I think that would be a non-sequitur for me.
	If somebody... Okay, welcome to the party.
	But before you come in, you've got to sign this...
	I was like, well, I don't know what's going on in here, but I don't want to be a part of this.
	I would be running for the exits at that point.
	I've been with him on mild exploratory journeys, you know, of the pharmakia type.
	So I had a Bay Area lawyer who met him at Burning Man 20 years ago, and he has been at nearly every Burning Man festival.
	I've talked to some people who have attended it.
	I've talked to some people who reported on it.
	There are a lot of people who think that they are channeling spirits from another universe, you know, where we would look at it as Christians, that would be demons, but they think they're getting technology from them.
	There's a lot of Silicon Valley billionaires, not just Musk, a lot of them who go there and think that they're getting insights into technology.
	So they said it wasn't just Elon Musk.
	It was also Steve Jobs.
	He used to like to microdose psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms.
	I guess that's why he could think different, right, when you look at all this stuff.
	But I spoke yesterday briefly about drug prohibition, and I was talking about DeSantis' view of it.
	And John Stossel pointed out alcohol prohibition didn't work.
	Yeah, but, you know, we...
	Drinking beer was a very common thing, but we need to continue down this.
	And so before I cut out to do the interview with Senator Nicely, which is, I think you're really going to enjoy this interview.
	We talked about a lot of different things.
	But before I get to that, this article caught my attention.
	I've talked about this topic many times in the past, the fact that you have so many overdoses in prison and people dying from overdoses in prison.
	Now, when I talk about this, I say, think about what it's going to require to stop drug use.
	If you can't stop it in prison, what kind of a world do these people want to create for us?
	They want to create a prison.
	And even if they create a prison, they won't be able to stop it, as we see.
	They can't even stop it.
	You're going to build a wall to control the drugs of the border?
	I think you've got a wall at the prison, don't you?
	You've got a prison, you've got bars, all these walls everywhere.
	And yet even with all the walls and the bars and the prisons, they can't stop the drugs there.
	Why is it? Well, we know, because of corruption.
	People can be bribed and they can get it in there.
	you're never going to stop drug abuse by interdiction and by law enforcement.
	And so just to give you an idea of how widespread this is, last week in northwestern Washington state, jail staff rushed seven inmates to the hospital after they apparently overdosed on fentanyl.
	Two weeks ago, five prisoners at the Maricopa County Jail in Arizona were hospitalized after overdosing.
	In the span of one week, in March, 13 inmates in Milpitas, California overdosed on fentanyl.
	So far this year, at least three jail inmates have died from fentanyl in Dayton, Ohio, and Sheriff's Department staff are investigating what they call a troubling trend.
	Well, yeah. You can get all of this stuff and you can get it in prison.
	About 353,000 inmates, or about one in every five incarcerated people, are there for crimes related to addiction.
	Most inmates never get the opportunity to enroll in a rehabilitation program.
	And even the rehabilitation programs that are there, most of them are not effective, but they talk about the point of this article is to talk about one that is effective.
	But to give you an idea of how bad this is, they said federal data indicates that the drug and alcohol overdose deaths climbed more than 600% between 2001 and 2018.
	Deaths spiked 381% in local jails.
	Prisons have become drug dens.
	Law enforcement cannot solve the drug addiction problem, and the prisons are evidence of that.
	So what has worked? One sheriff, after he had some deaths there, put together what he called the Heroin Addiction Recovery Program, HARP for short.
	And he included in that mental health treatment, but he also partnered with faith-based groups.
	He said, I have more church volunteers than I know what to do with.
	It's really beautiful, he said.
	You see, these addicts are in a prison, but they're in a prison within a prison.
	They're in the prison of drug addiction.
	It is something that people do not recognize.
	Even if they're walking about freely on the outside, they're still imprisoned, enslaved into that addiction.
	And there's a lot of different things that can addict us.
	We can be addicted to drugs.
	We can be addicted to sex.
	We can be addicted to money.
	A lot of these different things.
	But he said the faith programs are the key to treating inmates holistically.
	They, quote, introduce people to the possibility of redemption, while at the same time providing people with a sympathetic community that is willing to work with them.
	They learn the possibility that forgiveness is available from the very first step.
	And you know, it was Christ who said, I was in prison and you did not visit me.
	I was hungry and you did not feed me.
	And people said, well, we never did anything.
	He said, when you did it to the least of these, you did it for me.
	That's the key. That is what is missing in our society.
	We've forgotten God, and we think we can fix our problems ourselves, and typically we think we can fix them with force.
	We're going to take a quick break, or maybe I should just go straight to the interview.
	Do we have enough time to take a break, or should I just go straight to it?
	Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we'll play an interview with Senator Nicely.
	I think you're going to find it very interesting.
	We talked about a lot of different things.
	We talked about CBDC finances.
	We also talked about the upcoming pistol brace.
	They've got a solution for that.
	And he also talked about the special session that is coming up.
	And what many people feel like is going to be a bit of a danger, but I'll let him give you not just a danger to the Second Amendment, But a danger to the legislators if you see what happened there.
	We'll be right back. You're
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, joining us now is Senator Frank Nicely.
	He is in the Senate here.
	He sits on the Commerce Commission as well as the Transportation Commission, I believe.
	But you also, I think, are the number two on the Commerce Commission.
	And as part of that, he's been very interested in trying to make sure that Tennessee is going to stay fiscally sound and have an option for people, in case the Federal Reserve, It takes us off the rails, which looks like it's starting to happen.
	But thank you for joining us, Senator.
	It's always a pleasure, Dave.
	It's a lot to talk about.
	And we've had a good session.
	In spite of the Tennessee Three and the excitement they caused, I started out in a minority party.
	And when you're in a minority party, especially a super minority, about all you can do is throw bombs and wreak havoc.
	And those boys were really good.
	I admire it.
	Their ability to cause trouble.
	I don't agree with the thing they stand for, but they are good.
	I want to talk about that.
	I want to talk about that and I want to talk about the August special session.
	But I got to give you credit because as DeSantis was talking about Florida, he said, you know, Florida has the second lowest per capita debt of any state.
	I said, I bet the first one is Tennessee.
	And I looked it up and it was.
	So you guys have done a great job in terms of keeping taxes low and spending low and got the best record in terms of per capita debt, so we want to keep it that way.
	Well, David, the Democrats ran this state for 150 years.
	And they were the old school Democrats, the old Southern gentleman Democrats, the pro-business Democrats.
	They're all gone now.
	None of them left. The state almost went broke during the Great Depression, and they were determined not to let that happen again.
	And I've got a lot of admiration for some of the old-time Democrats that I knew when I first went there in 1988.
	And they did a great job.
	When we inherited the state 11-12 years ago, we were in pretty good shape.
	The difference was the Democrats would raise some kind of little tax every year.
	Your marriage tax, your hunting license.
	They just couldn't have it.
	We were just barely getting by.
	But they didn't waste money.
	But when we took over, we started cutting taxes.
	Art Laffer told us if you want more money, cut taxes.
	Well, we believed him and we tried it.
	And it worked. And within a couple of years, we've had billion-dollar surpluses.
	So we inherited a state in pretty good shape, and we inherited a good state and made a great state out of it.
	I agree. Yeah. And so you're trying to get some of that surplus into something that's going to be kind of a hedge against bad actions or incompetence by the Federal Reserve, trying to get them to put more and more of that into gold.
	You've had some success. Where do they stand?
	In terms of Tennessee State owning gold and the efforts to create a bullion there.
	And, of course, we want to talk about the efforts to set up a state bank, or as you call it, Tennessee Reserve System.
	But let's talk first about the gold.
	How are they doing in terms of taking some of that surplus and putting it into gold?
	We passed the bill this year.
	I sponsored it, and luckily we passed it.
	The buttholes were carried in the House.
	It allows the treasurer to buy gold and silver.
	And we've been working on the treasurer for seven or eight years, maybe.
	And he wrote the bill.
	And he put in there what I thought might possibly be a poison pill.
	It set up on appropriation.
	But rather than try to change it, I thought we better run with what we had.
	So we did, and then we asked the Speaker of the Senate about it, and he said, oh, that's no problem.
	He said, everything's appropriated. The rainy day fund is appropriated.
	You know, the retirement fund, everything's appropriated.
	So he said, that's no problem.
	So we got that passed.
	The Speaker of the Senate, Randy McNally, doing a great job.
	They're having a meeting on June 8th, and they will decide at that time...
	How we're going to move forward on this gold and silver.
	And we're working with a group up in Greenville, Tennessee called Artisan, ZN on the end.
	It's an old zinc company. They made zinc jar lids back in the old days when the cannon jars had zinc lids.
	That's how they got started.
	And of course, that played out. Now they make pennies, zinc pennies, $7 billion a year for the feds.
	Wow. There's some talk about doing away with the pennies.
	So if they do away with the pennies, these boys need somewhere to go.
	So they want to become the company that makes silver rounds, Troy ounce rounds for the various states and half rounds.
	And they want to build a facility and have a We tried to...
	We're working on making gold and silver legal tender.
	We're going to have a study committee this summer and talk more about that.
	Other states have done it, but we've got lots of questions from other people.
	I mean, we don't have the questions, but other people have the questions.
	And we're moving in the right direction.
	I had about four different states, southern states, that are interested in what we're doing.
	And we're going to Charleston in July with the Southern Legislative Council.
	And we're going to try to get... Catherine's going to be there.
	Catherine Austin-Pitts.
	We're going to try to talk to some of these other states and get a compact with With these other states, where we can all get on the same page.
	So if we issue a dollar, and Mississippi issues a dollar, we would honor their dollar, they'd honor ours.
	And it's... Catherine worries about financial transaction freedom.
	Yes. And some of these routes that we have to use to pay everybody are entangled with the Federal Reserve routes.
	Mm-hmm. And we want to get our routes.
	We want to have an alternative set of routes where if the feds try to stop everything, then we'll have routes where we can pay our retirees, pay our help, and transfer money between these compact states without the feds.
	Now, we're not wanting to leave the union.
	We're wanting to get in a position of strength to where we can show the union, listen, if you don't keep your end of the bargain, we'll move on without you, but we want to stay with you.
	That's right. But we want you to do the right thing.
	Well, and of course... They're not holding up their end of the bargain.
	Yeah, the Constitution says states aren't going to use anything except gold and silver.
	Anyway, so it's a bit awkward for them if they want to start playing legal games with things like that.
	But what about the approach that DeSantis took in terms of UCC? Has there been any thought or talk about doing something like that here in Tennessee?
	Because he basically reversed what...
	I don't know too much about... Well, he basically reversed what...
	I don't know too much about...
	Sorry, go ahead.
	I don't know too much about what DeSantis said.
	I do know that, like you said, he doesn't like CBDC, which we don't like either.
	Nobody likes CBDC. Central bank did for currency.
	And the central bank did for currency doesn't like bitcoins and other crypto.
	So, one's centralized and one's not centralized.
	And the one that's centralized doesn't like the one that's not centralized.
	So, you know, I like the status.
	I like a lot of things that he says.
	To me, status has three problems.
	Harvard, Yale, and Jeb Bush.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Other than that, it's fine, young man.
	I understand. Well, what he did was, and I think last time we talked, you had Chrissy Noem, governor of South Dakota, said she went on Tucker.
	That's how far back it's been.
	Tucker's been gone for a month.
	But she went on with Tucker and...
	She said it was being floated around about half of the states.
	The idea that they were going to put in the UCC, the Universal Commercial Code, that crypto was not going to be allowed, but it would explicitly embrace CBDC. She said, I vetoed that, but it's been put out to a lot of different states, and people need to be on the lookout as to what's happening in their state.
	Shortly after that, DeSantis did the opposite.
	What he did was he said, well, we're going to stop CBDC. And we're going to enable crypto.
	So I was just wondering if there was any talk about that UCC approach in Tennessee.
	I guess not. People haven't talked about that.
	There was a bill. There was a bill introduced.
	And we realized what it was.
	And we... And made sure they pulled the bill.
	It did not pass in Tennessee.
	There was a bill introduced to do that, and we caught on to it pretty early.
	Good. You know, the amazing thing, the Tennessee legislature, it's an interesting bunch of people.
	I mean, you can't explain it to anyone who's never been there.
	You're just wasting your time.
	But we've got some pretty sharp characters down there that pay attention.
	That's good. You would be impressed with it.
	Now, they do a lot. They do crazy things every now and then.
	But at the end of the day, we do more good things than we do crazy things.
	That's good. So you guys got that many people up all winter long.
	You guys caught that trap.
	You guys caught that trap.
	So as we look at the candidates coming out, DeSantis is against it.
	It's good to see that we had RFK Jr.
	on the other side because now it's a bipartisan thing.
	We don't want this to be something that becomes partisan so everybody opposes it or supports it simply because it's in their party.
	And then Ramaswamy has also come out for it.
	A lot of the other candidates have not.
	They have either been silent or in support of CBDC. So that's concerning.
	That's why it's important for us to do something at the state level, important for us to try to have a parallel system.
	And I loved what you did when you said you're going to call it the Tennessee Reserve System, because when you call it a public bank, the small and medium-sized banks get concerned about it.
	They think you're going to compete with them, and it's not about competition with them, is it?
	No, no. It's about supporting them.
	But in Tennessee, we have...
	We have what we call the Tennessee investment pool, and we may have $30 billion in it at a time, and we loan that money to banks, small local banks, and we'll buy their CDs.
	They need money while we'll buy CDs, give them some money, short-term, and It works real good, and it's not a bank.
	See, banks, if we create a bank, banks have rules, regulations, restrictions, and are hamstrung.
	They do this, they can't do that.
	But this investment, who, is controlled by the treasurer.
	The legislature elects the treasurer.
	If he gets out of hand, we'll pick somebody else.
	The people elect the legislature.
	So it's like an indirect election.
	Tocqueville really liked indirect elections, by the way.
	He thought that was the best way to go.
	Elect some good people and then let them elect some excellent people.
	But by doing it with letting the treasurer be in control of it, we get out from all these rules and regulations that the banking industry has been saddled with through the years.
	And we can pretty much do anything that they could do.
	We can do anything they can do.
	We can call it the Tennessee Reserve System.
	That's something everybody seems to This actually would be a Tennessee system, and it would actually be a reserve, unlike the Federal Reserve System, which is not federal and has no reserve.
	Right. That's right.
	So you do have already something that has a lot of the elements of, let's say, the North Dakota State Bank.
	We do. We basically have the equivalent of North Dakota State Bank, except you can't make deposits and...
	Mm-hmm.
	And that's the hardest thing to explain to these local banks.
	And I think the problem is, I think the Federal Reserve comes in and sours the well on us, feeds them a lot of nonsense.
	You know, when North Dakota started its bank, the Federal Reserve was just six years old and didn't have the I think we're in pretty good shape.
	That's good. That's good. You know, I just saw this article in New York City.
	They're taking the ESG, the environmental and societal governance rules to the local banks.
	And they're saying, we're not going to do business with you anymore unless you guarantee to us that you're going to follow our rules in terms of climate.
	You're going to follow our rules in terms of gun control and things like that.
	So they're putting all kinds of financial pressure on the system in order to enact what they want to do.
	And I guess that's one of the reasons why it's important for us to have, you know, certainly to have politicians that are not going to do that type of thing, but also to have this parallel system that's there.
	Because that could very easily come from Washington as well and put these banks out of business because that's what the New York City is trying to do.
	Capital One, Key Bank, some big banks there that they've currently got tens of millions of dollars with.
	They said, you're not going to get another cent from us.
	And these banks are saying, that's fine.
	We're not going to comply with it, which is kind of surprising.
	These two in particular, they had five banks.
	They were completely sound in terms of fiscal audits, but they're putting this kind of social governance on them.
	Thank you.
	Well, what can I say?
	I mean, that's just one more reason why people are moving from New York to Tennessee.
	Exactly. Exactly. Well, let's talk a little bit about this August session that has been called by the governor.
	I call it Lee's Surrender.
	What is in there?
	And do you think he's going to get this through?
	I mean, didn't he call a special session once before and then he didn't get what he wanted?
	And so my understanding was he was engaging everybody on a one-to-one basis to make sure that he had the votes to do whatever he wanted so he wouldn't be embarrassed again.
	So that's my question.
	What does that look like?
	What is on the agenda for the special session?
	And do you think that it's going to pass?
	Well, supposedly he's got some kind of version of red flag laws, which takes away due process, and it's not going to pass.
	I mean, the House told him it wasn't going to pass.
	The Senate told him it wasn't going to pass.
	He wants to do it anyway.
	He's setting up a dangerous situation.
	Now, these protesters are from out of state.
	See, when we have a regular session, everybody else is in session.
	But in August, nobody's in session, so all these crazy from these other states can all come here and protest us, and then they've already announced that they're going to have armed security.
	Well, we've already had people announce out here in the countryside that they're going to come down and protect us.
	So, what could possibly go wrong?
	That's one of the things. It happened the week after I went there, and You know, to watch that, I thought that it was pretty amazing.
	I called it the Tennessee insurrection because they got much further than anybody did on January the 6th.
	They got their hands on legislators.
	They were pushing, you know, they had police, state police were using themselves as bodyguards essentially, but they were getting shoved.
	And they kept their cool.
	They didn't come after the crowd.
	They didn't send out anybody there with, you know, shields and body armor to engage people because that would have just escalated it.
	But still, I thought it was more than what we saw really at January 6th because even though you didn't have the physical combat, they were shoving legislators and they got right up there to them.
	So I thought it was a very dangerous thing.
	I thought it was amazing that these three legislators got down there and took over the floor with a bullhorn and all the rest of that stuff.
	I like the comment that one guy said, hey, if you've got a problem, file a bill.
	That's the way this works. Well, one lawyer, you don't want lawyers in legislature, maybe one or two to ask the question, but they overthink things.
	They try to think too much. And we had a young lawyer down there that switched his vote on the lady legislator from Knoxville, Gloria Johnson.
	And so that's, when they didn't remove her, which she probably should have been removed, then that made it look racist.
	And then the northern states try to say that Tennessee's a racist.
	So what I tell my Yankee friend from up in the frozen tundra.
	I say, Tennessee is the only state in the nation where a young black A graduate, high school graduate, boy or girl, or any child in Tennessee can go to two years of tech school or two years of community college for free.
	Absolutely free.
	And the last two years, they get the Hope Scholarship, which is, you know, $4,000 or $5,000 toward the last two years.
	So when Tennessee's sending young black children of any color, To college for free.
	Does that sound like a racist state?
	We're the only state in the nation that does that.
	You can give Governor Haslam credit for that.
	I had my doubts when it first started.
	I thought, well, these kids need a little skin in the game.
	But it's actually...
	It's actually working pretty good.
	It's not being taken advantage of the way it should.
	I mean, there's no reason why a high school graduate doesn't go to tech school and learn to be a plumber, heat and air, you know, whatever, diesel mechanic, or go on to be a lawyer or a talk show host or a farmer or whatever else to do.
	There's no reason. So we're definitely not a racist state, but some of our northern friends like to label us that.
	Well, it is, as you point out, they're creating a flashpoint there.
	And you have to ask yourself, you know, what is going on.
	I saw some comments from NBC. They had a quote from Ramesh Akbar, the Democrat minority leader of the Senate.
	I guess you know who that is.
	He's a fine young black lawyer from Memphis.
	Said, it really is starting to feel like we're on the same team with the governor.
	And then you had a spokesperson for Gabby Gifford's gun control organization.
	Essentially saying the same thing.
	What he's doing here is commendable.
	It's an act of political courage.
	Is it or is he trying to virtue signal to the left?
	You don't know yet exactly what the bills are or have they told the legislators?
	No, we don't know.
	One strategy we have is when he opens up the code, He will limit the special session to a certain section of the code.
	One strategy is we'll open up, we'll introduce bills that open up that same section.
	And then we can, you know, then we can push our bills instead of his bills.
	Another strategy is when we gather a send, we make a motion to adjourn, take 66 votes, two-thirds votes the first day, separate majority the second day and the third day, and go back home.
	I mean, there's...
	The governor can call us in, but he can't keep us there.
	He's not a colonial governor, right?
	No. Well, that's good.
	That's good. So, I guess, so you don't know what it is, and did he give you a call to talk to you?
	Well, he's invited me to the residence.
	I was going to be on vacation that day, luckily.
	I could go another day, I guess.
	But, you know, that same week, that was a terrible thing.
	Six people killed plus the shooter.
	The day before, we had six people killed in a car wreck on I-24.
	Three kids and three adults.
	We had nine people killed in a helicopter crash up at Fort Campbell.
	And we had 21 people killed in a tornado.
	Now, that weatherman didn't cause that tornado.
	Any more than those guns caused that shooting.
	But you know what they'll tell you is that the SUV caused the tornado, right?
	It caused the climate change.
	Well, I think there were nine, eight people in that car.
	I guess what it was.
	It was a sedan.
	And it flipped, threw people out of the car, and three kids and three adults were killed in a car wreck.
	And what does that show?
	Life's risky. That's right.
	I mean, every day you get up and feel good.
	You just thank the good Lord that he's going to give you another day.
	But Before this happened, the governor had in his budget, I'll give the governor a little credit here, before this happened, he had put enough money in the budget, I think $223 million, to provide a SRO security agent for every school that doesn't have one, and about $14 million of that was for private schools, and the rest of it was to buy bulletproof glass and everything else we need.
	And so, it's not like we haven't done anything.
	Ten years ago, I passed a bill to allow the teacher to take training and be armed in the school, and I allowed the schools to hire retired law enforcement, which they can hire a fraction of active law enforcement.
	And a few schools have done it, but not a lot.
	But what we have now, I was talking to the sheriff the other day, we have these magnetic locks on the school doors.
	And the teachers have got little thumbnail-sized magnets and put in there to keep the door open and keep it from locking.
	So when some kid goes to the restroom, the teacher doesn't have to get up and go open the door to let her back in.
	Well, same thing happened in Texas.
	They had an automatic locking door, and, well, the teachers had left it open.
	So what good is it for the legislature to spend all this money on this high-tech system Security and the locals circumvent it by putting magnets in the doors or propping the door open, let a little iron in.
	You know, we're all in this thing together and the only thing that's going to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun.
	That's right. That's right. You can't blame the guns.
	If there's more guns in this country than our people, if the guns were involved in it, we'd all be dead.
	They don't kill us. That's right.
	Going back to your analogy of the car, I talked about the Waukesha Christmas Parade where you had a guy using his SUV, it wasn't an accident, using his SUV to target people.
	He didn't happen to just drive into a crowd, he was running them down.
	And so, you know, what are you supposed to do after that?
	Are you supposed to ban Fords?
	Are you supposed to ban SUVs?
	Do you ban automatic transmissions or power steering, you know?
	And that's what they do with the guns whenever something like that happens.
	They don't look at the person.
	And that's a big part of the problem with red flag gun laws as well.
	It's not just, if you've got somebody who's a murderer, they can use their bare hands to kill somebody.
	Or hatchet. Yeah, more people kill their bare hands than with anything else, pretty much.
	So they could use their bare hands.
	The person is the problem, and we have to give due process to people.
	So, you know, none of this, to me, the red flag stuff is really just a non-starter.
	I think what you did in terms of allowing teachers to We get training and that type of thing to carry guns.
	I think that is by far the most effective thing because you have somebody there who is going to be in a situation where they're defending their own life and also the life of the kids that are there.
	It isn't even a situation where you've got a school officer who has to put his life at danger to save other people.
	That's a heroic thing. There are a lot of people who will do that.
	But there's some people that have decided that they don't want to do that, like at Uvalde and at the Parkman Douglas School there in Florida.
	So sometimes people will look at that and say, well, I don't want to be a hero.
	But if you're in this classroom and you're a teacher and you know how to use that thing, that's not being a hero.
	That's just self-preservation.
	I think that's the most effective way to do it.
	Well, you got to admire these three young police officers who were there in 14 minutes.
	They didn't know each other prior to this.
	They went in there, they'd been trained, they fell in just like they were a team, and ran in there, ran to the bullet fire, and took her out.
	Yeah. Compare that to Texas and Florida.
	That's right. You know, my wife's a Texan.
	You live in Texas a long time.
	You don't have these Texans brag all the time.
	Yeah, they did it the right way.
	That's very heroic what they did.
	That's what I'm saying. It was. You've got three incidents here, and one of them, they acted quickly and heroically.
	The other two, they didn't. And so it's very important, like you had the law that you sponsored there.
	You know, it also occurs to me that before this special session starts, there's going to be a lot of...
	Grief with this pistol brace rule that's been put out by the ATF. And I think that's going to really activate the gun people on that side of the issue.
	I know they've already put out, the left has already put out a call, as you point out.
	They want people to come.
	I was, you know, covering the fact that they were giving sessions and telling people how to hector legislators, how to embarrass them, and putting out a call for all these activists to come.
	So that's going to be one side of it, but I think that the People who want to support the Second Amendment are going to be pretty upset about this pistol brace rule that's been put out by the ATF. Is there anything in Tennessee...
	That would, um, that anybody's talking about that would get in the way of the ATF or executive orders from the president, uh, doing infringement of the second amendment, like the pistol brace or like the bump stocks and things like that.
	I passed a bill last year.
	I think it was that, um, made pistol braces legal in Tennessee.
	Hmm. So, T-Rex Arms, I'll shout out to them out in West Tennessee.
	They make lots of holsters and braces and what they know.
	So, it's illegal federally, but the state won't stop you from having it because we don't have to enforce federal law.
	Good. Yeah, that's right. And that's one of our best ways out on these things.
	We just make it legal in Tennessee and it's illegal federally.
	So, if the feds want to take up these braces, they're going to have to come do it because our sheriff TBI can't do it because we made it legal.
	It is legal to own one in Tennessee.
	That's great. That's great.
	So a few years ago, we passed a bill that said no state personnel, money, or energy can be used in forcing a federal gun law that is more strict than our state gun law.
	We got a little proactive there.
	We got ahead of them a little bit.
	You did. Absolutely. That's great.
	And, of course, that's called non-commandeering, and that's been established and supported by the Supreme Court, that the feds can't come in and order local law enforcement to enforce laws if they don't want to enforce those laws.
	But you made it even more forceful by shutting it down at the state level.
	Let's talk a little bit about what's going on with As now everything is rolling down with the masks and all that hysteria and everything, is there anything in Tennessee law that is going to stop the public health officials, bureaucrats, from doing that kind of stuff again?
	Or business mandates on customers or on employees?
	Is there anything like that? Because I know that in the wake of, you know, we had...
	9-11, two months before that, they had their first germ game.
	They called it Dark Winter. And then a week after 9-11, they had the anthrax attack.
	And then two months later, they put out model legislation to all the states.
	And a lot of them passed a lot of the different things that they wanted passed.
	And then they had their annual practice games for 20 years.
	But I don't, you know, what is the situation in Tennessee in terms of legislation that supports the public health officials?
	How did that work? Since I wasn't here when that was going through, how did that work?
	We passed a bill where it's illegal for a business to ask a customer or employee their vaccination status.
	Good. Good.
	Good. That's excellent.
	You know, Dave, we've done so many good things.
	Yeah. But the liberal press won't report on them, and we don't have new patients anymore.
	Right? Well, that's why I want to get you here, because I'm looking at this stuff, and it's like, wait a minute, are we going to go through all this stuff again?
	You guys have already taken care of it.
	That's great news. That's good news.
	Let's talk a little bit about the CBDC. We understand the control that's involved with that, and...
	All of the ID aspects of it, how dangerous that is.
	But, you know, there's a lot of different ways that they can go.
	The way I look at it, CBDC is the one that takes us to where they want to go the fastest.
	It's like the direct express route.
	But there's other ways that they can do it through the back door.
	I was very concerned to see the mandate for E-Verify.
	Now, E-Verify has been around for a while, and it's been voluntary.
	People did not have to comply with it.
	In Florida, DeSantis and Republicans put it through as a mandate.
	And I thought they kind of got it backwards.
	It seems to me like you would want to stop the welfare state for people who are foreign citizens and here illegally.
	You'd want to stop the welfare state before you'd start trying to stop them from working.
	But it makes me very concerned that we'd have to get government permission to get a job and that it would be yet another form of ID, another form of tracking what we do.
	What is the situation on E-Verify in Tennessee?
	Do you know? You know I don't really know.
	I'm not as a The legal immigrants, I like legal immigrants.
	They work, they pay taxes, go to Walmart on Saturday, and you see them shopping, and they're spending money and are being taxed.
	Tennessee operates on a sales tax.
	We don't have an income tax.
	We don't have a hauled income tax.
	So these are illegals.
	When they go to Walmart or when they buy a new lawnmower and a trailer and a truck come out here and mow the yard, they pay sales tax on all of that.
	So this A little...
	Legal immigration is good.
	Illegal is bad. But what we've got now is not...
	That's an invasion.
	What we've got now going on is an invasion.
	That's not immigration. And that's a terrible end, though.
	You know, we're a melting pot, but you put enough cold water in a bowl of water, it'll kill it all at once.
	That's right. You can just melt so much at once, and I'm afraid that...
	They're overwhelming the ball and pop right now.
	Even the people who call themselves sanctuary cities or sanctuary states, they're saying, wait a minute, stop sending us people.
	We can't handle that. And they're only getting a small percentage of what's coming across the border in Texas.
	So it clearly is something that nobody can handle.
	And yet you see states like California coming out and saying, well, now we're going to give them Unemployment.
	You know, so if you come here without a job, you can collect unemployment.
	That happened at the same time that Florida is saying, we're not going to let you work.
	That just didn't make any sense to me.
	I talked to a guy who was about criminal justice, and he was talking about waves of immigration and waves of crime, and he said, you know, In the late 19th century, the early 20th century, we had these big waves of immigrants coming from Europe, and so many of them, they were sleeping, a lot of them, in the police stations because they didn't have anywhere to go.
	There wasn't any welfare system to help anybody.
	When they came here, they were going to make it on their own, work hard, and they were going to earn every penny that they had.
	And I don't have a problem with that.
	What I think is the problem is the welfare magnet that's pulling people in.
	And so when you have states like California saying we're going to give you, even though they're insolvent, we're going to give everybody unemployment, even if you're a foreign citizen.
	You have Illinois giving other benefits to people, even though they are overspending.
	They're going to give all kinds of benefits to people who are foreign citizens.
	This is a magnet that's going to pull people in, regardless of what you do at the border, if you're going to have that.
	But to me, the work aspect of it That is something that has been there as part of the melting pot.
	And so I think that, you know, you're right.
	We can't sustain this mass of people that are coming in here.
	But we've got to understand what's pulling them in.
	And I think that's one of the good things.
	Hopefully there's not a giant welfare magnet here in Tennessee like there is in Illinois, New York, and California.
	That's where they're going to have the biggest problems, I think.
	Well, in California, you have retired state employees making a half a million dollars a year retired.
	In Illinois, you have them making $350,000 retired.
	We don't have any state employees making that much work, much less retired.
	How they think they can...
	What are they thinking?
	I don't know.
	I don't understand how they think.
	Well, they got saved with all the COVID cash there.
	They were about to go bankrupt.
	And then when the pandemic was rolling out, they got all this free COVID cash and that kicked the can down the road for another couple of years, but they went through that real quickly.
	And so now they're, they're in financial straits again, but Tennessee has a, we had $70 million invested to take care of our retirees.
	Of course, it's down to about 61 now.
	But what's even worse is by the Fed's printing money with all this inflation, they're bailing out Illinois and California, and they're stealing the purchasing power from our retirement fund.
	Our retirement fund won't buy near as many bags of groceries this year as it did last year, even though we still got $61 million.
	That $61 billion won't buy as many bags of groceries as $61 billion would last year, so they've figured out a way to steal our savings.
	Benjamin Franklin talked about inflation being an invisible tax, and they're stealing our purchasing power, and they're stealing the money that our retirees have earned and invested.
	Over the years by this inflation.
	Yeah, and that's the thing that's really concerning because it looks like that could get out of control.
	That's one of the reasons why I know that you've been working so hard trying to open up channels for people and for the state to have gold, which is going to be there as a hedge against that kind of inflation.
	And it's one of the reasons why they're out there trying to shut down any competition right now focusing on crypto.
	They say that we don't want to have any...
	Proof of work that's there, which is going to have essentially crypto that is a fiat.
	It's going to be proof of stake.
	This is worth what it is because we say it's worth what it is.
	So they just want to flip this over to a digital form of the fiat currency that the Fed's been running on us, and that's not really going to solve anything.
	It's just going to put more chains, digital chains, and surveillance on each and every one of us.
	Well, you remember the old Austin Powers shows, and his nemesis was Dr.
	Frickin' Evil. And that was a long, long time ago.
	Well, there is a Dr.
	Evil in the world. I mean, there's several of them, Soros and different ones around.
	And they're trying to take over the world with this central bank digital currency.
	The fly in the ultimate is the American South and armed citizens.
	Now, they can't take over until they disarm us.
	So that's a big push on these school shootings.
	There are people, I've got intelligent friends that thinks the FBI is behind some of these school shootings.
	Grooming these kids, these shooters.
	They get on the internet. They find a kid that's mentally unstable.
	Where did this girl get all the money to buy the guns?
	In Texas. Where did that boy?
	He didn't have a job. Where did he get the new pickup truck and $5,000 or $6,000 worth of guns all of a sudden go in there and do this?
	So Dr.
	Evil is trying to take over.
	Catholic calls him Mr. Global.
	And they work together, Mr.
	Global and Dr. Evil. But they can't take over until they get the guns out of our hand and they subdue the American South.
	Well, we're not going to let that happen.
	We don't want to secede from the Union.
	We don't want to cause any trouble.
	The best way to save the Union is show the Union that the South is strong.
	We're not going along with you.
	And I've said for years, if America is saved, it will be by the states.
	It won't be by the feds.
	That's right. The states have to do it.
	And the amazing thing, the founding fathers gave the states everything we need to take control.
	We just need leadership, backbone, and perseverance, and get the job done.
	But we can call our congressman in.
	We can redistrict our congressmen every two years.
	The Supreme Court said we have to redistrict them every 10 years, but we can redistrict them every two years.
	We can call our nine congressmen in, set them down at the Capitol, and say, here's what we want you to do, and here's what we want you to not do.
	And by the way, here's a map of your district next year if you don't do OK. We can put nine of them in three districts and have a new set of congressmen.
	We could, and as far as our senators go, I've had this bill several times to let them, instead of having a primary, 17th Amendment says you have to have an election for U.S. Senators, but it doesn't address how you select your nominees.
	So we could let the state legislature be the caucus that nominates our U.S. Senators.
	The Democrats can nominate their nominee.
	Republicans can nominate our nominee.
	They run against each other in November.
	And that would satisfy the 17th Amendment.
	But the fact that we nominate them, they would pay attention to the states.
	See, originally the Senate was supposed to be the state's house.
	That's right. The House representative was a people's house.
	Well, now they're both houses of people's house, and the states get very little respect.
	But if we were starting to nominate our U.S. Senators...
	That's great. Think what that would do.
	That's a great idea. That's a great idea because I always thought that that was, you know, as you point out, that was there to break the power of the states.
	And we need to have that kind of division because...
	I got that bill to the Senate floor one time.
	Of course, I did. I had a weak House sponsor.
	But I'll probably bring it back again.
	Oh, you should. That's a great idea.
	And now the average knee-jerk reaction from...
	People say, well, you're taking away my right to vote.
	I said, no, I'm giving you a constitution back.
	I said, you're still going to vote, but I'm going to give part of your constitution back.
	You know, the first, up until 1913, the states elected, the state legislature elected their U.S. senators.
	Very few people know that now because they don't teach it in Uh, but so in the last 110 years, we've let the people and how's it worked out for us?
	It's not that good.
	If you, you put our success on a graph, 1913 was a, was a turning point.
	I've always said when America is gone and a historian is right about what happened to America.
	I think 1913 will be the year that made the difference.
	We quit letting the states elect their senators.
	We got the Federal Reserve, you know, the IRS, the trust.
	That was a very unlucky year.
	That's right. You're absolutely right about all that stuff.
	Yeah, when we... Yeah, my son says, two wolves and a sheep.
	That's what we do not want to have.
	We want to have a republic, don't we?
	It is interesting to think about how we can take power back.
	And, of course, when we looked at the Dobbs decision of Roe v.
	Wade taking that back, I had said for the longest time before the Supreme Court agreed with me.
	They didn't know I was saying it.
	But I said, you know, we ought to go back to Andrew Jackson here in Tennessee.
	You know, he... The Supreme Court had said that he could move to Cherokee.
	And he started moving to Cherokee.
	They didn't like what it looked like.
	And I think it was a bad policy.
	But they said, all right, they met within a year and said, no, we take it back.
	You know, we got a new opinion and you can't do it.
	And he said, well, you've given me your opinion.
	Let's see you enforce it. And there is a check and balance.
	That's the important part about that is that there's checks and balances.
	And so with Roe v.
	Wade, that was a Texas case.
	I've said for the longest time, I said, well, the Texas state should have said, well, the Supreme Court's made their decision about when life begins.
	That's kind of interesting, but it doesn't really have anything to do with us.
	We're going to make our laws about that.
	And that's essentially what the Dob situation has done.
	And it raised a lot of alarms because it started pointing to the 10th Amendment.
	And I think that is the key thing, that states need to have the backbone to take this.
	But for the most part, nobody wants to make these decisions.
	They want to pass it off to somebody else.
	And so it's a hot potato.
	And they would like to use it as an election issue, but they don't actually want to do anything with it.
	And ultimately, it gets passed off to either the bureaucracy, which doesn't have to run for election, or it gets passed off to the Supreme Court, which doesn't have to run for election.
	You know, nullification, people say, well, we tried that in 1860, it didn't work.
	You know, I was never a dope smoker.
	I was always a better high-life man myself, but I greatly admire the dope smokers for nullifying the federal law on marijuana.
	I mean, you can call it what you want, but what it was, they nullify it.
	They told the federal government, you know, we're going to sell marijuana on the street and regardless of what you say.
	And people say notification won't work, notification will work.
	You just have the backbone to make it work.
	That's right. And that's a great example, too, because it's always whenever you start talking about, well, we need to make some of these decisions locally, it's usually the left that freaks out.
	And it starts talking about civil war and secession and all the rest of this stuff.
	And if you bring up the issue that they actually want to have, which is medical marijuana or recreational marijuana, even Jeff Sessions, as much as he hated it, he never came after it because he didn't want everybody to see that it had basically been a bluff that they'd been running for a long time, right? It is.
	It is bluffing. We did talk about that.
	You know, that was a rebirth of nullification.
	Yes. And if we nullify that, we can nullify other things.
	And we just need to do it.
	And like I say, it's kind of strange that it came from the left.
	And all the way to the left, the dope-smoking left, were the ones that successfully nullified federal law.
	Got it by those boys.
	They may not know they've done it.
	That's right. They don't know that they did it because they're smoking dope.
	Tell them he did it. Wait until they sober up so we can explain to them what they really did.
	That's great. Well, I'm glad that it's been taken care of in terms of pistol brace and things like that.
	It's going to have a big impact.
	It still is going to be something that people are going to be talking about around the country, and I think it's going to energize people before this August special session.
	So I hope you guys hang in there, and don't let that happen, because we've got a good group of people in the Tennessee legislature, and I don't want to see them discredited by doing something that is just a bunch of Virtue signaling to celebrities and leftists.
	You don't have to worry about it.
	The House told him and the Senate told him, you don't have the votes.
	We're not passing red flag laws.
	That's third world stuff.
	In America, you listen to your proven guilty.
	We're not going to go there and let you be guilty.
	I have to go to court and prove that I'm not crazy.
	How can I prove I'm not crazy?
	If you know I'm crazy, I wouldn't be serving in the legislature.
	I mean, so... Automatically crazy right off the bat.
	But yeah, it's going to be interesting.
	You need to come back.
	I felt like I was having a really busy time when you were there, and I didn't have enough time to spend with you.
	But I'd like to show you through the Capitol, and you need to come back this day.
	I'd love to do that. But we'll be glad to do that.
	Thank you. Thank you so much.
	And it's always great to have you back on.
	We want to keep track with what's going on.
	But a lot of good news there about what is happening.
	I like the fact that you've already taken care of the non-commandeering aspect of it.
	You know, if you don't call it that, whatever.
	You guys have got that taken care of in terms of gun control because it really is off the rails.
	It's not just the elected representatives in Congress who were talking about infringing the Second Amendment, but now it's just become a bureaucratic prerogative that they've claimed they've got.
	You guys have got that checked.
	Good to hear that, and I hope you guys hang tough on this August special session.
	One last little thing for me.
	Sure. Everybody talks about the checks and balances between the legislative rights and executive rights and the judicial rights.
	But the ultimate check, the one that works good, you don't even think about it.
	The one that the checked-in-all check is a second amendment when you've got an armed citizen to check on the armed government.
	That's the ultimate check in a system of checks and balances.
	And these civics teachers don't even mention it, but that's the one that keeps us free.
	That's one that keeps Dr.
	Evil from coming in on us.
	The American South may save the world.
	That's right. That's right. And refusing to comply.
	You know, that's one of the things that we saw when we came here in August of 2020.
	We had to go to North Carolina for a relative and we came back through Tennessee and it's like, these people are not wearing the masks.
	They're not complying with this stuff.
	That means that they haven't been captured.
	I tell people this, smart people took the vaccine, but the wise people didn't.
	That's a good way to put it.
	The people who have had too much education and they've been sitting in the classroom for too long.
	Looking at somebody lecturing them at the front of the class, and they bought into that argument from authority.
	That's exactly right. Well, David, my battery's about to go out, so I'm going to say goodbye, and we'll do it again.
	All right. Thank you very much. Appreciate it, Senator Frank Nicely in Tennessee.
	You're doing a great job. Thank you very much.
	Thank you. 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.
