	The End Using free speech to free minds.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 31st of May, year of our Lord, 2023.
	Well, we just celebrated, or I should say not celebrated, we just commemorated Memorial Day.
	People who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect the Constitution and our society.
	But of course, we have people who are working to burn it down in every way from both parties.
	And we also have the next war that is being pushed and escalated.
	We're going to take a look at this next stage of escalation.
	We're going to take a look at the F-16s.
	When is that really going to kick in?
	How is it going to be used?
	Will it be an escalation?
	Will it be effective? We'll also take a look at the GOP, or perhaps we should say the L-G-O-P-T. We'll take a look at that as well as the boycotts that are happening.
	And there's also a mainstream media offensive against homeschooling.
	That's right. They've got to protect those government schools.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, you know, we have a lot of different ways that we have a lot of different ways that they come after us.
	They called the COVID thing a war.
	And so, should it surprise us that a poll shows that the people who bought the COVID narrative hook, line, and sinker are also buying the Ukraine war hook, line, and sinker.
	We're going to have, by the way, in the third hour, Don Jeffries is going to be joining us to talk about His new book about what happened during the COVID war and why the COVID war is still a thing going on.
	So we've got the COVID war, we've got the climate war against everything that we do, but they want an actual literal war as well.
	They're not just these cold wars.
	They actually want shooting.
	That's so much more effective at depopulation.
	And of course, that is the goal of all these wars.
	But when you look at this poll, I thought it was very interesting.
	This is from Canada.
	It's a poll that was done by EKOS, the organization.
	It was put out by Patrick Henningsen.
	That's where it was picked up for this.
	And so they ask a lot of questions.
	They ask, imposing tougher economic sanctions on Russia.
	Do you support that?
	And these are questions...
	That on each one of these lines, the people who are vaccinated, you would find between 81 and 86% of the people say, yes, I support this tactic.
	And for people who are unvaccinated, typically about 10 to 13%.
	So here's the questions.
	Imposing tougher economic sanctions on Russia, vaccinated say yes.
	Seizing the assets of Russian oligarchs associated with Putin, yes, say the vaccinated.
	Cutting off shipments from Russia, yes.
	Sending additional military equipment to Ukraine, yes, say the vaccinated.
	Providing additional loans and non-military aid to Ukraine.
	78% for that of vaccinated.
	Providing Ukraine with fighter jets.
	52% of the vaccinated say yes.
	None of the above.
	Only 2% of the vaccinated say none of the above.
	57% of the unvaccinated say none of the above.
	And so the question is, what is going on here?
	Now, an American thinker, his conclusion is, he said, it seems to me that skepticism towards the media structure that we currently face is the only reasonable response.
	Well, I certainly think that's a big part of it.
	But that's only one part of the gullibility matrix, if you want to call it that.
	You know, the media is the spokesperson for the government, government authority.
	And we've seen polls like this in the past, in the sense that the longer you stay in a government school, the more likely you were to get vaccinated, to believe in all of the measures that they told you to not question anything.
	And so the people who had very little education, High school dropouts.
	They were the least likely to believe any of this stuff.
	And then as you get your high school degree, your college degree, your bachelor's degree, your master's degree, it continues to go up.
	And then when you got to the Ph.D. level, it dropped back down to where the people in high school were.
	Why? Questioning authority.
	That's the common thing.
	Media is just one arm of the tentacles of authority that are out there.
	We're propagandizing you.
	But we have been taught, and that's one of the key things about school, right?
	They say, well, we've got to teach kids how to learn.
	We've got to teach them how to read and write.
	And they need to learn the types of skills so that they can be good cogs in the wheels of industry.
	Get a job working for these people.
	Don't start your own business.
	You know, work for the guys that are going to have a monopoly on artificial intelligence or any other thing, as you see them already.
	This brand new chat GBT, and already they're going to Congress and say, we've got to have a monopoly.
	You've got to keep everybody out of this field except us.
	We're the experts. Can't have any of these fly-by-night jobs out there.
	But, of course, they are going to be out there.
	And what they don't want to have happen is they don't want to have an honest chat GPT put out there by people, but they're out there.
	They're out there. It'll be gray market, black market, but they'll be honest chat GPT that'll help you to find information.
	But they want to shut that down right now before it gets started.
	It's not even about conditioning you to work as a cog in the machinery, as a gear in the factory.
	Industrial type of idea.
	You know, it's really about training you to follow them, to listen to authority, to never question authority, to never think critically.
	That's what it's really about.
	And we'll get back to that when we get to homeschooling.
	You know, there's a major, major paper they call the Deep Read or something from Washington Post.
	Just as millions of people are rejecting government schools for obvious reasons and going to homeschooling, Washington Post goes out and finds one couple who had been homeschooled, and now they have rejected that.
	They rejected their religion.
	They rejected homeschooling.
	They rejected their parents, and they're putting their kids in government school.
	And that's the example that the Washington Post wants to elevate for you.
	They do a 34-page article on it.
	I'll condense the overview and a couple of great quotes out of it.
	But that's where these people are.
	Conversely, Ron Paul is saying you're not going to have liberty if you don't have homeschooling.
	Just take a look at what is happening in the schools today.
	It is a propaganda organization.
	It is there to teach people.
	To believe everything the government says.
	To never question it. You got that authority figure that's up in front of the classroom.
	You do not question them.
	I was inoculated against that pretty early.
	I used to get my...
	My sister was older than I was.
	She was in college when I was in elementary school.
	I used to get her textbooks and read her college textbooks, especially on science and things like that.
	And they put me in an advanced placement class, and I had this experience with a science teacher.
	I wanted to know something about nocturnal animals, why they go out at night or whatever.
	And I said, well, because they've got more rods and cones in their retinas.
	And she goes, what are you talking about?
	She berated me over it.
	And she was this person who had, she was up in front of the classroom.
	I've never seen another teacher who was on such a power trip.
	She had a microphone.
	And she was always in this bad mood.
	Always yelling and screaming at the kids.
	And I had the power of her microphone to do it.
	Her answer was, they go out at night because they see better at night.
	That's what she wanted me to say.
	And so, it's like, you don't know anything.
	Anyway, getting back to the war.
	I talked and we played as a replay an interview that I did about the Chinese harvesting organs from prisoners.
	Well, that appears to be happening in Ukraine.
	It appears that it was happening in Ukraine quite a bit before the war began.
	And now they find that they can do a lot of organ harvesting from people who are wounded, their own soldiers who are wounded, enemy soldiers who are wounded, civilians who are wounded.
	That is a gold mine for our organ harvesting.
	Yeah, if you don't have any kind of a moral compass, And you're fine with this kind of war?
	Yeah, you'll go right into it.
	This is an article from Vaccine Impact.
	Corneas? Oh, you can get $30,000 for that.
	Lungs? $150,000.
	Heart? $130,000.
	Liver? $98,000.
	Kidneys? $62,000.
	But you didn't realize just how much you're worth, right?
	A Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, issued a plea to deal with the big business of organ harvesting.
	So people will just dismiss that.
	Oh, that's Russian. You can't count anything.
	But we've had a lot of information before this war ever started about this happening.
	Ukraine has been embroiled in scandals related to illegal transplants.
	Long before even the 2014 coup began by the CIA. Since the late 1990s, she said, and it is true, there have been media reports that low-income Ukrainians were forced to sell their internal organs in order to make a living, and there was information on illegal harvesting of biological material from corpses.
	However, the beginning of hostilities has exacerbated the situation.
	She said the authorities in Donetsk I have information on Ukrainian nationalists illegally harvesting biological materials from POWs, locals, and wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
	And so again, you can find a lot more information at vaccineimpact.com.
	In March of this year, he says on vaccineimpact.com, we published a video of a Russian soldier who said they found a baby factory in Ukraine.
	Where young children are raised for the pedophile child brothels, or they're murdered to harvest their organs.
	Russians are not the only ones who have documented this horrible practice of trafficking babies and young children for sex, then murdering them for body parts.
	He said two years ago he published a documentary that was done by the Polish film producer Patrick Vega called Eyes of the Devil in this documentary.
	He's able to actually interview one of the child traffickers who traffics babies from Poland and Ukraine to child brothels in Germany where the children, usually around 5 to 7 years old, work for a few years in the brothels until their tiny bodies start to break down and then they're murdered to harvest their organs, which are trafficked to the rich and the powerful.
	He has a link to that documentary, he says, if you can handle it.
	I choose not to watch that.
	So if you want to check the reports for that, I would just remind people that, and I forget which German city it was.
	I had the article a couple of weeks ago.
	One of the German cities, Sex Capital of the World.
	Yeah, when we look at what is happening to America, I've said many times, it reminds me of the Weimar Republic, the corrupt Weimar Republic.
	Transgenderism, every kind of sexual perversity was celebrated in that corrupt society before God destroyed it.
	You think about that.
	And of course, it's resurfacing again in Germany as well, as here.
	He said, many in the Western media, even the alternative media, call this Russian propaganda and disinformation, even the Polish documentary that was done years ago.
	However, it is the Western media that has reported for over a decade now that organ harvesting and trafficking in Ukraine is very real and a horrible problem long before the current war started.
	Fourteen years ago, the European Center for Law and Justice published an article The case of the missing children, lost babies and corpses without organs, fuel allegations of trafficking in body parts in Ukraine.
	And it involved Israeli governments.
	Other governments were involved in this as well, or elements of those.
	Ron Paul says on this current escalation, we've all seen the clips of Lindsey Graham.
	Sorry, I'm not going to play it. I just can't take that guy sometime.
	Applauding dead Russians.
	He said Lindsey Graham was in Kiev over the weekend, as we know, right?
	That's what he decided to do.
	As other people were taking some time to think about the people who died defending this country, he's trying to push us into the next war to kill people.
	For what? To defend this country?
	Absolutely not. We don't have a dog in this fight.
	We didn't have a dog in the fight in World War I either.
	What is the matter with these people?
	Anyway, he spoke approvingly of dead Russians, but the Ukrainians put together Zelensky's own office, took the most incendiary comments, Ron Paul says, and put them together to make them sound even more threatening than Lindsey Graham.
	And of course, Lindsey Graham is also a clip.
	You can find that on social media.
	I didn't put that in the deck today.
	Way, way, way before the coup, the CIA coup and the war, talking about how they were going to fight the Russians with Ukrainians and that type of thing.
	Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones hit Moscow for the first time.
	Although no serious damage occurred, this is an escalation.
	And that is the purpose of it.
	And so you've got a growing list of countries that are ready to join F-16s for Ukraine program.
	Norway, Poland, the latest to join the expanding list of NATO countries.
	Because now that Biden has said, we're going to approve, always it came with the prohibitions.
	They could say, well, we're going to train people, but we're not going to give them the F-16s until this is considered.
	Well, there was always a prohibition on them giving those American planes to anyone else.
	Without the approval of the U.S. government.
	And so they got that from Biden.
	And there was a very interesting article from Moon of Alabama talking about the implications of the F-16s.
	And just from the standpoint of how practical they're going to be.
	And yes, they are a big escalation in a political way, just like this drone attack that appeared to not do much damage to the building.
	It's got like a smudge against this concrete building.
	But the point is that there's a drone attack that's there.
	He said it's been in planning for some time.
	The timing of the announcement was at the G7 to maximize the propaganda value for Biden.
	But he says...
	This has become, as we all see now, a proxy war between Russia and NATO. You want to talk about organ harvesting?
	I mean, you know, how much more cynical is it to use a population of Ukraine in a proxy war?
	Just completely devastated.
	And of course, Ukrainians knew that was what the situation was going to be, as I've played many times.
	Arrestovich, the guy who was supposedly the negotiator for peace on the civil war that erupted after the coup, They were elected on a campaign of peace, Zelensky, Restovich, and these other people.
	And he said, no, there's not going to be any peace in an interview.
	He said, as a matter of fact, in three years, in 2022, we're going to have full-on war with Russia.
	This country will be devastated.
	But the good part is we get to go into NATO. And the interviewer was flabbergasted.
	We all should be flabbergasted at that.
	But we want to talk about organ harvesting.
	This is exactly what they're doing.
	This is just as cynical as, you know, cutting people up and harvesting their organs when they're wounded.
	This is what we're doing to all of Ukraine.
	This is what war, this war especially, is about.
	It's not a justified war.
	It's not a war of defense.
	It really isn't. And a just war.
	You don't just defend yourself against aggression, as the Russians came across.
	But there have been a lot of aggression that have been going on for a long time against the so-called breakaway areas in Ukraine.
	But another part of the just war isn't just about who fired the first shot or who crossed over the border first or whatever.
	We can argue about that endlessly.
	The other part of the just war is that the goal is to end it.
	The goal is to stop the aggression.
	The goal is to seek peace.
	That's the purpose of a justified war.
	And that's why this war is not justified on the part of NATO. There is no interest in pursuing peace.
	None whatsoever. That in and of itself makes it an unjustified war.
	But getting back to the F-16s, and he talks about the practical aspects of this.
	He said the big part of this It's not going to take as long to train these pilots as people think.
	These are Ukrainian pilots.
	They already have experience on other fighter jets.
	They're going to get a short introductory course of six to eight weeks, maybe even less.
	They do not need to train for air-to-air combat.
	Because the F-16s would lose any such fight against the newer and better armed Russian jets.
	The days of dogfights are over.
	In case you haven't seen the latest Top Gun.
	This is who's got the longest range missiles to fire.
	That's what it's about. They're going to have this close hand-to-hand combat for this thing.
	They just need to learn the basics.
	Starting, landing, getting up to a certain height and a launch point.
	For whatever long-range weapons will be on board, anything else would be suicide, he says.
	But then the question is, where do you start?
	Where do you take off and where do you land?
	That's the big issue.
	He said, when you look at the requirements of the F-16, it has to have an immaculate runway.
	Not so with the Russian plane, the MiG-29 Fulcrum.
	He says it uses something called foreign object debris, FOD, It closes up the intakes when it's on the ground getting ready to take off.
	And then after it gets off the ground, it opens up those FOD covers and then takes off.
	But that's not the way that it is with the F-16s.
	The F-16s don't have anything like that.
	And so if you've got rocks, if you've got debris and other stuff like that on the runway, that's going to get sucked into the engine.
	It isn't going to necessarily kill the engine right there.
	It may be something that just starts to build.
	Maybe you get up in the air, you fly a little bit, and all of a sudden, the engine starts to self-destruct in air.
	And so you've got to be very, very careful about this.
	He said, I cannot stress how dangerous and debilitating this foreign object debris is to aircraft.
	A single rock...
	Bolt, nut, or minor road debris can have cataclysmic effect on modern high-performance jet engine.
	It may not even happen immediately, as I said.
	It could take a while for that to happen.
	And so the F-16, the intakes are about 30 inches from the ground.
	All the suction flow of the air comes from the sides, fore, and ground, since no air can be ingested from above the engine, because that's where the fuselage is.
	With no provision...
	For foreign object debris, it calls for very rigid and flexible control measures from the location of engine start to taxiing routes to the runway.
	In the U.S. Air Force, this means hundreds of maintainers walking at arm's length intervals two to three times a day with eyes on the ground looking for any and every piece of debris that could be ingested by the multi-million dollar vacuum cleaner with only one engine.
	So you get one nut, one bolt, one rock in there, and you're done with that one engine.
	And so he said it's a constant procession of street cleaners.
	They go up and down the flight line, the taxiways, the runway.
	Everything has to be spotless.
	Or we risk losing the aircraft, or even worse, the pilots.
	Imagine the preparation it would take to complete this process on a 10,000 foot long straight highway, in the dark, while trying to be as inconspicuous as possible so as not to draw the attention of collaborators or Russian spies.
	Imagine a disused Soviet airfield that suddenly had all of its weeds plucked from the cracks in the concrete, the concrete patched, the runway spotless.
	What kind of a signal does that send?
	Well, F-16s will be, or currently are, operating from here.
	And so he said then there's also the maintenance philosophy behind the U.S. and the Russians.
	He said the Russians typically will just replace anything that goes defective, whereas the Americans typically will try to repair it.
	He said the MiG-29 averages about 11 hours of maintenance for every one hour of flight.
	The F-16s?
	Eighteen and a half maintenance hours for every one hour of flight.
	And he said, good luck doing maintenance on the F-16s that will sit on those few available and thereby vulnerable Ukrainian airfields.
	Russian air defenses from the ground from the air can certainly suppress any F-16 flights coming near to them.
	The only sensible purpose for these planes...
	Is thereby their one or two time use as a launching vehicle for long range missiles like the British Storm cruise missiles that were given to Ukraine.
	It's easy to train for those missions, but I doubt that they'll make any noticeable difference.
	So that's kind of interesting.
	But, you know, the reality is, Is that everything is being pressed to the metal to escalate this war.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	you Thank you.
	Let's talk a little bit about the war against our liberties.
	And I mentioned it a little bit earlier.
	I said, this is Washington Post.
	They call this a deep read.
	It's a 34-page article.
	Revolt of the Christian homeschoolers.
	They were taught that public schools are evil.
	Then a Virginia couple defied their families and enrolled their kids.
	And so they follow them along.
	Well, they didn't follow them along, but, you know, they have them recount, Oh, the first day I dropped off my six-year-old to school.
	I watched nervously.
	As the other children streamed into a low brick building framed by the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
	You know, and I looked at this and I... What are they talking about?
	It took me a moment to look into it because I remember when my mom dropped me off the first day of school.
	I mean, I was okay, but she was a wreck.
	There wasn't any option for homeschooling back then.
	She did her best.
	To keep me out of their influence.
	But, you know, I remember when I got in the Libertarian Party, that's where I found out about homeschooling.
	Found out about it because parents are being killed when they resisted having their children taken away because they were homeschooling.
	That's how I learned about homeschooling.
	I said, okay, well, tell me more about this.
	We didn't even have any kids at the time.
	But I was aware of what was happening in the schools.
	And one of the guys who was the founders of the Libertarian Party, Carl Hess, I've talked about him many times, pony-tailed, earring-wearing Libertarian who was the speechwriter for Barry Goldwater.
	Goldwater called him my Shakespeare.
	He was the one who said, extremism in defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.
	And boy, they didn't like that when...
	Barry Goldwater said that back in the 1960s.
	They considered that to be extreme.
	And it was extreme, but it wasn't advice.
	It wasn't wrong. It was right to be extreme in defense of liberty.
	And so, you know, he was somebody who thought like that because in the 1930s, his mother had risked losing him and going to jail herself to homeschool him.
	And so he thought differently.
	We thought about liberty. That was very important to her.
	She wasn't a Christian. She didn't do it for Christian values.
	She didn't do it for religious reasons.
	She did it because she didn't like the tyranny of the schools over people's minds.
	And she produced Barry Goldwater's Shakespeare.
	She constantly was moving.
	Keep one step ahead of the truant officer.
	Very interesting story of his life.
	So the Washington Post...
	After millions of people leave the government schools when they see what's actually happening in them because they do Zoom classes at home.
	The Washington Post tries to go the other way and build these people up as heroes because they rejected everything their parents taught them.
	They rejected their religion that they had said they believed.
	And then they put their kids into a school.
	I would like to see Washington Post Do a follow-up on this in 10 years.
	Find out, you know, when she gets to be 16 years old, this 6-year-old girl, find out what pronouns she's using.
	Take a look at these two kids who, you know, left the faith, rejected it.
	Take a look at whether they're still together or not.
	And so, as I talk about this, They said, he knew it would be years before she understood how much it meant to them.
	Understood that for her mother and father, the decision to send her to school was nothing less than a revolt.
	And he said, that's an interesting thing.
	You know, everybody wants to talk about teen rebellion and things like that.
	If they're such rebels, why are they all dressing alike?
	If they're such rebels, why are they all talking alike?
	And why are they all listening to the same stuff and have the same influences?
	It's not a rebellion. They're trying to establish themselves independently.
	They're rebelling against their parents.
	And the rebellions can go in two different directions.
	If the parents are conservative, they'll go liberal.
	If the parents are liberal, sometimes they'll go conservative.
	You see this type of thing happening all the time.
	But the unfortunate thing for these two, because they've been sheltered with this thing, is that they have no idea just how revolting the schools are.
	That's where the revolt is.
	The schools are revolting against everything in society.
	Even more so than just, they think this is simply about their religious ideals.
	The school has revolted against everything.
	And as they talk about it, Their parents bought into some educational philosophies that I'm familiar with.
	We knew about them when we were homeschooling.
	We rejected those things as being unhealthy.
	And I've seen a lot of kids now whose parents put them through that process, this particular curriculum, that have now understood that it actually had a blowback effect.
	And so, you know, Karen and I, like their parents, knew what the schools were like.
	We went through them. Karen taught in the schools in the late 1970s.
	Quit in 1980.
	We moved to Texas and got married and moved to Texas.
	But she had taught in the schools.
	And she saw the abuse.
	She saw a tenure that had happened there.
	And even though we had gone through school predominantly in the 60s, You know, early 70s.
	She saw just how alien and foreign and counterproductive it had become.
	What a corrupt institution it was.
	And it was nothing at all like it is today.
	I mean, they didn't have the metal detectors and school police officers and all the rest of this stuff like they do now.
	But she didn't want to have anything to do with it, frankly.
	I guess you could say we're old school in the literal sense of the 1960s and so forth.
	But anyway, they had grown up, says the Washington Post, in the most powerful and ideologically committed faction of the modern homeschooling movement, deeply conservative Christians.
	Who saw homeschooling as a way of life, a conscious rejection of contemporary ideas about biology, history, gender equality, and the role of religion in American government.
	Well, that's exactly right. But do you notice how they lay this out?
	A rejection of contemporary ideas about biology.
	That it doesn't matter to the Washington Post, right?
	Evidently it doesn't matter to these people.
	Biology. That's just, you know, we've done away with that.
	That's just an inconvenient thing.
	Because now we have gender equality.
	And we've done away with history as well, because now we've got our critical race theory, right?
	And of course, we've also done away with religion as well.
	But then they start talking about why they had rejected it.
	They do have a little thing in here in the Washington Post.
	Across the country, interest in homeschooling has never been greater.
	In Virginia, where nearly 57,000 kids are being homeschooled in the fall of 2022, it was a 28% jump from three years earlier.
	You've got to understand what a threat it is to the establishment to homeschool your kids.
	That was another motivating factor for me.
	I didn't do it for that purpose, but it certainly helped.
	To motivate me.
	That I was going to train them to be independent of that.
	They talk about the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.
	They were involved. Her parents were involved with that.
	I think she actually went to the Patrick Henry University that's run by the guy who put together the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.
	Look, if you're homeschooling, you need to be involved with them.
	They're there to help you in case you get persecuted over something.
	She said, we were part of what Homeschool Legal Defense Association founder Michael Ferris called the Joshua Generation.
	They would seek political power and cultural influence to reshape America according to biblical principles.
	And you see, this is the key thing.
	You know, we've got to understand, and this is, I think, a failing that I saw with a lot of homeschool parents.
	They saw this, in many cases, as something that they were doing in their own strength.
	They saw this homeschooling became something of a point of pride, an idol, if you will, for some of the people.
	Not all of them, but I mean, that's the trap that you can fall into.
	And I've seen people fall into this trap.
	And so we don't want to say that we're going to do this above and apart from God.
	We're going to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.
	And we can do this.
	Well, if you do that, especially if you're a Christian, God's going to pull the rug out from under you to teach you a lesson.
	He may let you go ahead and do whatever you want if you're not a Christian.
	God doesn't discipline non-Christians as we see.
	Look at how the wealthiest people in the world Are prospering.
	And he just lets them go ahead.
	But as I've said before, he should view them as animals that are being led to a ritual slaughter with all the decorations on them and everything else.
	They're just in a parade to the slaughterhouse.
	But when we look at it, we should understand That God doesn't have grandchildren.
	When you see families like this that have left their religion, left their family, left all their values, as we understand it, they went out from among us because they never were of us.
	And because perhaps they focused on these things.
	And I think the Joshua generation made me immediately think of Josh Harris.
	This is a guy who was a celebrity pastor, big megachurch.
	They elevated him to a position of this megachurch when he was very, very young and had no life experience.
	And then there were scandals in that church.
	He had written a book called I Kissed Dating Goodbye.
	And that was very popular with homeschooling circles when we were doing homeschooling.
	Rejected dating. Came up with a courtship type of thing.
	And that's what this family did with these two parents.
	They had a courtship. And eventually Joshua Harris, as I said, it was a big scandal there.
	Eventually he rejected everything.
	He rejected everything he had ever taught.
	He rejected Christ.
	He rejected his church.
	He went to LGBT, you know, Virtue Signaling College.
	Got all immersed in all of that college in the Northwest.
	Should we be concerned about that type of thing?
	Well, certainly for him we should be.
	But it doesn't invalidate what we believe to see that.
	Travis was as...
	He was standing in on Nights of the Storm with Angry Tiger.
	They were talking about Angry Tiger asking him a point about whether or not he was spanked.
	And I thought that was interesting because this seems to be a big part of the issues that these two who were raised in homeschooling They said, you know, we don't like this.
	It's based on this curriculum from Michael Pearl and someone else.
	The use of the rod for the purpose of breaking the child's will.
	It's really what it was all about.
	Like I said, that's one of the reasons that we rejected that.
	Also, it's not about breaking the child's will.
	It's about breaking their will to do bad.
	You're not sitting there like, no, don't do anything.
	It's like when they do something exceptionally bad, you sit them down like, this was wrong, and now you need to be punished for it.
	Well, yeah, but that's the appropriate use of corporal punishment.
	They rejected all corporal punishment because of the illegitimate use that the pearls supported, in my opinion.
	Because what they would do, and you weren't part of this discussion because you were very young and you were not in the room, but we had this discussion with a lot of our homeschooling friends who were advocates for this.
	And I said, do you read what he has to say?
	He would literally set the kids up Tempt them, make them do, you know, to get them to do something wrong or watch them so he could jump in and punish them, right?
	And it was a regular thing.
	We do it many times a week.
	That's what this couple said, you know, constantly getting hit with the rod.
	And I thought, you know, that's not a very loving thing, and it's not necessary either.
	You know, we did a couple of things like that.
	We were even talking about that after the program.
	You know, you talked about Angry Tiger asked you if I'd spanked you when you were growing up.
	Yeah. I think at most four or five times.
	Yeah. That's all I can remember.
	It wasn't necessary. And he didn't remember one of my most successful and memorable moments.
	Disciplines. Because he was so young.
	And it didn't involve any corporal punishment.
	It was just, you know, he was young and he was freaking out in a restaurant, bothering everybody, yelling and screaming and throwing a temper tantrum.
	And so there's no way I was going to do any kind of corporal punishment with that.
	But he was young enough that I thought, I'm just going to take him out and put him in the van.
	In the car seat. And strap him down.
	And I did close the door and let him just scream his lungs out until he was finished.
	I stood back so he couldn't see me.
	He thought I'd just abandon him in the car.
	And when he was all tuckered out, I opened up the door and I said, are you done now?
	Are you going to be good when we go back in?
	I'll be really good. And he never did that again.
	So, you know, you don't have to try to set your kids up to fail.
	They'll fail on their own.
	But... It is, I thought it was excessive.
	I thought it was too deliberate.
	I thought it was too central to all of their child raising.
	I think there are times when it's appropriate to use the rod.
	And of course, that is biblical.
	You know, spare the rod, spoil the child type of thing.
	That is a, you know, you do not, God disciplines us as I said.
	You know, as his children, he will discipline us to teach us a lesson.
	Because if you don't discipline the kids, things get really bad.
	Use of the rod, interpreted by different people as a wooden spoon, a dowel, a belt, a rubber hose, or other implement was common practice amongst these conservative Christian homeschoolers.
	No, just amongst the people who were following Michael Pearl.
	And I'm sure some of you will say, I did the Michael Pearl thing and it worked out great.
	Well, I'm happy. I just got to say that when you talk about these different things, wooden spoon, dowel, belt, rubber hose, things like that, I remember when we would have the first day of school, and in elementary school through middle school, I think that stopped corporal punishment by the time I got into high school.
	They would have the big assembly, and they would have the Dina boys come out, and the boys go to a separate area, and he would come out and he would show us his paddles, and talk about how proficient he was, and Look, I've got holes in this one to cut down the air resistance so I can make it go even faster and sting harder.
	You know, you don't want to get to know me and all this type of stuff, right?
	And they would paddle kids, and they would expel kids if they were misbehaving.
	And if it continued, you know, they would suspend them, rather.
	And then if it continued, they would expel them.
	That type of thing. That's not what they do now.
	They've replaced that corporal punishment with police officers.
	And with metal detectors and with lockdowns to train them to live in a police state.
	Is that an improvement? When we were in Texas, there was a, down in Bastrop, there was a fight with some kids and the school police officer came up and one kid that was not in the fight, third kid, comes up, separates them, and is holding one of them off to the side.
	Well, the police officer had not seen what was happening, but he runs up to this kid who was the peacemaker Grabs him and head slams him into the concrete and put him in a coma that he never came out of.
	Is that preferable to getting a spanking with a wooden paddle or something?
	I don't think so. We have a situation in the schools that is very much like what they have created in the retail environment, deliberately.
	In San Francisco and these other Soros DA-run places, right?
	They want chaos. They don't want to punish misdeeds.
	And so the minor shoplifting becomes major shoplifting gangs.
	Then they start attacking now people in the store, customers and employees, and the rest of this.
	It is a plan for chaos.
	There has to be some discipline.
	It doesn't have to be over the top.
	You don't have to enjoy it.
	And, you know, you have to make sure that you're not doing it to the kid when you're angry.
	You've got to walk away if you're angry and say, you wait right there.
	I'm going to be right back. Think about it, you know?
	And then cool off yourself.
	Meanwhile, they're stewing, wondering what is going to happen when you come back.
	It's a lot more effective, I found, anyway.
	So, they said they were getting spankings several times a week.
	Sometimes more, sometimes less.
	With a broomstick.
	With a broomstick. See, I don't agree with that either.
	I use the hand.
	Anyway, so Brother and Sister Lon had given them this book, To Train Up a Child, by Michael and Debbie Pearl.
	That's the book. That's the one that we rejected.
	And we talked about that with our Christian friends who are homeschooling.
	And convinced some of them not to do it.
	So, you know, the spoiler is that they have left the faith.
	The Washington Post is very happy about this, but I said do a follow-up in 10 years to see what pronouns they're using.
	Ron Paul, homeschooling is the key to preserving liberty.
	This is why the Washington Post wants to come against it.
	Democracy dies in darkness, doesn't it?
	What kind of darkness? The kind of satanic darkness that we see being pushed on kids in schools, through the media, through the press.
	Democracy dies in that kind of darkness.
	He says the most recent release from the federally funded Nations Report Card shows 40% of 8th graders lack even a basic understanding of U.S. history, while only 14% are proficient or advanced in history.
	This score from 2022 showing so many students lack basic understanding is bad.
	It also indicates a continuation of a decline that started in 2018.
	He said this ought to frighten everybody who wants to restore limited constitutional government and a true free market economy.
	These people make no bones about the fact that they're Marxists, that they hate capitalism, that they're pushing racial hatred.
	All this stuff, it should make everybody concerned.
	They want a race war to establish their Marxist regime.
	It's just that simple. They have to destroy everything in society.
	Even as I was pointing out, you know, climate change people.
	Let's pull down all the historical buildings so that we can put up more energy efficient buildings.
	So we can get to our net zero.
	They have to eradicate everything.
	It's not just statues and history being changed.
	They have to eradicate and take it to the ground.
	Everything in our society.
	Everything that is beautiful must be destroyed.
	They want us walking around, and, you know, it used to be, kind of laugh, but it was poverty to a large degree, but it was also because the government controlled the clothes that people could afford to have or were able to wear.
	Remember in China, everybody walking around in, you know, Chairman Mao pajamas and things like that.
	We mocked Hillary for dressing like a communist in pantsuits and pajamas.
	That's all they had.
	And that kind of forced austerity is what the climate change movement wants to push on us now.
	Even scarier, says Ron Paul, is the fact that many government schools have replaced history and civics with critical race theory, transgender ideology, and other forms of cultural Marxism.
	And that is what it is. It is deliberate Marxism.
	It is Marxism coming after culture, society, religion, all of that.
	So bottom line, as he put that out there, he's got a Ron Paul curriculum.
	It's another thing you should take a look at.
	It is a secular curriculum.
	History, math, physical, natural sciences.
	And so there's just a wealth of stuff out there.
	And very good stuff out there.
	And you don't need to be wasting your kids' time in school.
	It takes too much time, too much of their day in school.
	They can learn it in a much shorter period of time.
	And they don't get the darkness from the Washington Post.
	But this is what schools are turning into now.
	As I said, Karen got out of it before it turned into the police state.
	And I was complaining about the lockdowns and the metal detectors and the police in school.
	I said, do you understand what they're training the kids to do?
	What kind of a society they're training them to live in?
	Because that's the purpose of the schools.
	They're very clear about that. We're going to train you to live in the kind of society that the government wants.
	Well, take a look at the schools.
	They've been police states for a long time.
	We got the lockdowns after they've been training young people to do that for decades.
	It wasn't a new thing for them.
	They'd already been going through a lot of that stuff.
	Now in Dallas, they got a pre-crime style artificial intelligence already to start monitoring the kids and their behavior.
	So the artificial intelligence is going to identify each and every one of these kids.
	And start to build a behavioral baseline for them.
	It's going to start monitoring you, learning about how you behave and react to things.
	And then alert the school authorities if you deviate from that baseline behavior that it has now identified for you.
	Can you imagine anything anymore?
	Well, yes we can. I'm afraid we can.
	But we're getting to the bottom line of the Orwellian Society with this.
	They're spending your taxpayer dollars to do this to kids.
	I'm furious about that.
	You know, Thomas Jefferson said it is wrong.
	It's immoral to force people to pay to propagate religious opinions that they don't hold.
	Right? So he wanted to get the government to stop the established Because that's what establishment meant.
	It meant mandatory attendance and mandatory financial assistance to them.
	And some of the states, by the time he did that, had stopped the mandatory attendance.
	So you didn't have to go to the state church, but you still had to give them money.
	And he said, we've got to stop that.
	And so, again, you know, we lived in Raleigh.
	We would go to Williamsburg a lot.
	There's a great guy who did Thomas Jefferson impersonations.
	He would come down to Raleigh sometimes to do Thomas Jefferson for some think tanks that I would attend their events.
	He was a nice guy.
	I hated doing this to him, but I would always get up and say, well, you said this about religious liberty, but I know places where, and you've advocated government schools, and I know places where the government schools are no different from an established religion, and they're teaching things that I find to be abhorrent, and I shouldn't have to pay for that.
	I would do that over and over again to him, but that's the bottom line.
	And you can clearly see that they are selling a religion.
	You know, climate change, the CRT stuff, all this stuff.
	The LGBT stuff.
	It is a set of moral principles that they demand that you follow.
	You know, climate is sold to you as a moral imperative.
	LGBT is sold to you as a moral imperative.
	And on and on. Everything is a moral imperative.
	It is a religion that they're selling you.
	And I object to funding that religion.
	I oppose those religions that they teach in school.
	And I don't want to pay for it.
	And I don't want to pay for the kids to be trained to live in a police state, which is what they're doing in Dallas with this.
	The press release says,"...it is a breakthrough technology that empowers organizations to identify risk and to take action before the projected risk becomes a consequential event or incident." Well, you know what?
	Maybe instead, I've always said, governments will make two mistakes rather than admit to one and fix that one.
	And the big mistake is the way they're treating the kids.
	Psychological pressures they're now putting on them with this transgender stuff.
	You're in the wrong body. You know, you're going through puberty and you're trying to figure out what's going on.
	Well, you're in the wrong body. You're all messed with their minds.
	Mess with them with Ritalin.
	Mess with them with SSRIs and all the rest of this stuff.
	And then when you start to see all this taking effect, the psychological berating, the chemical manipulation of the kids, well, now let's put artificial intelligence on them to keep them in line.
	They said, this enables comprehensive analysis and review of the student's data through software.
	Minimizing inherent human biases and disparities by objectively assessing data points and reducing assumptions and cognitive fatigue.
	You see? This is what we're all being trained for.
	We're all being trained to follow our AI masters, as I've said for the longest time.
	When you look at this three years that we've gone through, this medical martial law, And now these so-called experts trust the science, all this stuff, right?
	We don't trust them anymore, do we?
	So we've got to bring in a new set of experts, experts that are not going to have human biases, that are going to be objectively assessing data points.
	Oh, this is real science.
	We're talking about data points here.
	Yeah, really? Try again to impress me.
	I'm sorry. I'm not impressed with your data points.
	But it gets rid of human biases.
	It doesn't have any assumptions.
	Oh, it doesn't? Have you ever talked to ChatGPT?
	It's got a lot of assumptions there.
	It has humans putting bias into the artificial intelligence, and they're going to be putting that into all this stuff.
	But yeah, it's going to be sold to us as completely objective, unbiased, no human assumptions, no human cognitive errors, no human cognitive fatigue.
	They're creating an artificial intelligence as this authority that is above humans even.
	It's going to be something you bow down and worship.
	You understand that?
	You understand how dangerous this is?
	Do you understand how flawed this is?
	And do you know what they're training society to do?
	That is very concerning to me.
	And so, finally, as part of this attack coming on, you know, they...
	When you look at what they're trying to make homeschooling out to be, it certainly isn't like B.F. Skinner doing experiments on his kids.
	That is what they're doing in the Dallas school system.
	But now they're coming after the Duggars.
	And they had the TV reality show, which I never saw, 19 kids and counting.
	And then they had the major failing of their oldest child, Josh Duggar.
	Who molested four of his sisters in Babysitter, and they canceled the show.
	Then they started another spinoff series on TV. That ended, but now there is a documentary about them, To Dig Up Dirt on the Duggars.
	And they are doing this to attack the idea of an intact family.
	And I'm sorry to see this family fail.
	You know, if you've got 19 kids and one of them is bad, they're going to focus on the bad kid.
	They're not going to focus on the 18 kids.
	That's the way of the world.
	And that's especially the people who've got an agenda.
	But a big part of the problem with this, as I said before, There was always a certain amount of pride.
	And a kind of pride.
	Look, I've got 19 kids.
	And look, we all dress the same.
	You know, all the rest of this stuff.
	That's a very dangerous thing to draw the line on where, you know, just having some self-respect and trying to, you know, have things, you know, Cleaned up and orderly and all the rest of this stuff, but then getting proud about it as well is another issue.
	And so now there's going to be a documentary about them, Shiny Happy People, The Duggar Family Secrets.
	And this is what they will always do.
	We have to be concerned that we, and again, talking about Bill Gothard, another person like Michael Pearl movement, Pushing, abusive, corporal punishment, and things like that, in my opinion.
	But we have to be concerned about how we proceed with this.
	And we have to understand that the real threat to society is not a family where one of the 19 kids goes bad.
	The real threat to society is It's to lose the family and have an authoritarian government.
	Let me give you an example. North Korea.
	North Korea is more...
	There is more persecution in North Korea of Christians than anywhere else.
	Any other country. As a matter of fact, it is incredibly dangerous to try to get a Bible to anybody.
	And it's incredibly dangerous to be found with one.
	Some of the Bible societies will parachute Bibles into North Korea.
	Human rights groups say in a historical case, and just one example of the persecution that's faced by tens of thousands of Christians in the country, even though they try to stamp it out, it makes it stronger the harder they stamp on it.
	Because that's the way it works.
	That's the way God has designed Christianity.
	We're not going to have a revival in this country unless things get harder for us, in my opinion.
	And so in North Korea, a toddler whose parents were caught with a Bible, they sentenced the toddler to life in prison.
	Life in prison for a toddler.
	You want to talk about somebody using excessive spanking or something?
	What does an authoritarian government do?
	And you want to look at what is ultimately there, and you can really kind of read it if you want to go through this 34-page article from the Washington Post attacking Christian homeschoolers.
	You can really see it in the couple that they have set aside.
	But here's a good example of it.
	These women wanted a symbolic expression of self-love, so they married themselves.
	And they've even got a name for it.
	Soloagamy, I think is what they call this thing.
	It's not monogamy, but it's me and myself.
	And isn't it interesting that we were told that in the last days, people would become lovers of self.
	No better example of this than women who have a big fancy wedding so they can marry themselves.
	It was Rist's wedding, but there was no beaming partner waiting at the altar.
	Wearing a rose-colored dress, the 34-year-old read her vows alone in front of a mirror in her backyard.
	She had accepted her own proposal.
	Imagine that. And given herself a ring.
	Instead of a spouse, a red velvet cake awaited her next to a bottle of champagne.
	She said, I do, to herself.
	So she promised to love herself to death, to her part.
	Until the spirit returns to God and the body goes to dust, I will love myself.
	I vow to never settle or abandon myself in a romantic partnership ever again.
	Well, this 34-year-old needs to grow up.
	She needs to learn that people, including her, are not perfect.
	And you grow up when you get away from this childish, selfish, putting yourself on the throne all the time.
	The best way to do that is get married and have kids.
	You've got to learn to forgive other people And you have to understand that nobody is perfect.
	She punctuated her self-love journey with a statement of self-appreciation.
	I realized that in love and in relationships with other people, I wasn't fully loving myself.
	We pour all of this time and money and energy into marrying other people, and we don't ever pour any of that back into ourselves.
	Well, cast your bread on the water.
	You want to see not just the answer to prayer, but you want to see what a selfless life, a happy life that was lived to help other people.
	Again, take a look at George Mueller.
	Answers to prayer and somebody who put other people ahead of himself, children.
	I've talked to a good friend of mine who decided he was going to get a divorce.
	He had a kid. I've heard this from many people.
	Well, God just wants me to be happy.
	And I said, no, He wants you to be married.
	And aside from the joke, the point is that God wants you to not be dependent upon circumstances to find contentment, happiness, and joy.
	He wants you to be able to find those things in any kind of a circumstance.
	He wants to make you tougher, stronger, better, more joyful.
	That's what it's about. It's not about loving yourself.
	It's not about being happiest yourself.
	Yeah, and where did this come from?
	All I said in this article, this has been around for many years.
	Going back to August 2003, there was an episode about sologamy, concept of self-marriage, on a Sex and the City episode.
	There you go! TV Theology!
	What could possibly be wrong?
	Yeah, you mean that show for spiteful, bitter women that never got married and now want to lie to themselves that everything's fine, everything's still fine, I'm only drinking a bottle of wine a day, everything's still fine.
	What could be a better place to get your theology and rules for living your life than a TV show?
	But that's what it is.
	And you know, it's amazing to see how that affects us, the entertainment stuff.
	Very powerful. And I just want to leave this section here with a positive thing for families.
	We're going to talk a little bit about this fairy godmother guy at Disney with a mustache.
	I'm sure you've seen it. It's gone viral.
	Millions of views. And yet, for the longest time, Disney, as well as all of Hollywood, but Disney was very explicit about it for the young kids.
	Follow your heart.
	Follow your heart.
	Is that a good way to love yourself, follow your heart?
	You should never violate your conscience, certainly.
	It's always wrong to violate your conscience.
	But your conscience isn't your best guide.
	Sorry, Pinocchio was lying when he said that.
	Jiminy Cricket was lying to Pinocchio.
	And Jiminy Cricket didn't have a nose to grow.
	Or you would have seen that going out there.
	Always let your conscience be your guide.
	Well, you should never violate it, but it isn't a sufficient guide.
	And this article from Christian Headlines says, Follow Your Heart is not a biblical concept for children.
	It says, A creator of the Wing Feather Saga.
	And so, I haven't seen this, but I would suggest that if the message that they're trying to get across to your kids is the antithesis of what Disney has been selling them for a long time, It might be worth taking a look at it.
	The person who put this together said, the series tells children to not follow your heart.
	Our culture right now tells us that kids can learn their identity and who they are in the world in their own selves.
	Just marry yourself, right?
	And in fact, individually, apart from their families as well.
	And we just don't believe that's true, said the person who put this together.
	He said, so in our story, these kids find their identity and their purpose in life through their family, through their community, and ultimately through the creator that made them.
	What's the purpose that he has for them?
	And that's something that they'll wrestle with the entire seven seasons of Wingfeather.
	What I'm called to be, what I'm supposed to do, and what I may be told in my own heart, which is something else, and that that I'm told in my heart may not lead to good conclusions.
	One of the things that we've loved seeing is when families get to watch it together and the experiences that are created when multi-generations come together and experience this.
	We've got young kids, middle grade kids, old kids coming together with their parents and their extended family to experience Wingfeather Saga.
	He said, we see that with the books and we now see that with the show.
	And that's been really exciting.
	You know, Travis, I'd have watched that with some grandkids if I... Anyway, the bottom line is we need to have deliberately positive role models.
	Pictures of what the world should be and of the beauty of the world.
	Roger Scruton wrote about that.
	Travis told me about Roger Scruton.
	He did a series on beauty and architecture and how we had turned our back on it.
	With this architectural style, brutalism, the institutional style that you see in government buildings frequently and schools, things like that.
	You can blame Marxists for that, too.
	Yeah, yeah. And so we need to reclaim beauty.
	We need to, first of all, value it.
	And if we value it, we will start to imitate that.
	And that is true in the stories that we have as well, not just the architecture and the art, which Roger Scruton talked so eloquently about.
	But we need to understand that.
	And, you know, as I was thinking about this last night, I saw, again, the strangest things come up on YouTube.
	It showed me a restored picture Of 1929, somebody took on in New York on Fifth Avenue on Easter.
	It was customary for people to dress up in their fine clothes that day as they were going to church.
	And of course, that was a tradition that continued.
	And in my childhood, you could say that it was hopefully not too much of a pride parade.
	Because God doesn't like pride.
	I'm sure there were a lot of people that were very proud of the way that they looked, but some people just did it because they would aspire to beauty.
	And so we'll go out with this segment, and I'll play for you that color clip.
	It's about a minute long of the Easter parade.
	And this is Bing Crosby singing Irving Berlin's song, the same title.
	Music In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills apart it, you'll be the grandest lady in the Easter I'll be all in clover And when they look you over I'll
	be the proudest fella In the Easter parade On the avenue Fifth avenue The photographers will snap us And you'll find that you're In the rotogravure I could write a sonnet
	About your Easter barter And of the girl I'm taking To the Easter foray Yeah, you know, it's kind of old-fashioned, isn't it?
	But I would certainly take that over the pride parades that I've seen today.
	Oh, we've got to start focusing on some...
	Let me just, while we're on that subject here, I've got to show you this.
	This is the Disney guy who is the fairy godmother.
	Hi, my name's Nick.
	I'll be your fairy godmother for the day.
	Well, he got the fairy part right.
	I think the mother thing is lacking here.
	When Florida Governor Ron DeSantis talks about how woke Disney has become, his argument would be better served if he had a visual, says BizPackReview.
	Well, now he's got it.
	You can cross that off his list because he now has one in the form of a male employee at Disneyland, California, wearing a dress...
	As he guides a small girl into a store that sells princess dresses.
	And he's got a mustache and all the rest of the stuff.
	Wearing a dress, introducing himself as the fairy godmother.
	Yeah, $250 princess dresses there.
	Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique is the name of the store there at Disneyland.
	Disney has a man in a dress working in the dress store for little girls in Disneyland.
	This is who Disney wants girls to see when they first walk in to pick out a dress.
	Said Jason Jones on Twitter.
	They want the boys to do that as well.
	They would love to sell those $250 dresses to little boys.
	Just like Planned Parenthood.
	Hey, you know. We got the abortions.
	Let's add a new profit center.
	Let's mutilate, sterilize children with chemicals and other things like that.
	We can go down that road.
	That is where we are right now, unfortunately.
	Disney has a guy wearing a mustache and a dress there.
	And so I'm one of Fairy Godmother's apprentices, he said.
	So he doesn't introduce himself as the Fairy Godmother, of course.
	But an apprentice, you know, kind of like Santa's helper or something.
	Nothing matters but the agenda, and your four-year-old is a pawn.
	And they're happy to mind flame, said Peachy Keenan on social media.
	Dave Rubin, who is homosexual himself, joked that the employee would be hired to work for the Biden administration by the end of the day.
	I think that was the best response I've seen of everybody.
	Yeah, they're going to hire that guy right away.
	What's particularly interesting about this, he said, is how intentional it is.
	This is a dude with a mustache and a dress, not a trans person.
	Think about how many real girls want that job at Disney and they gave it to him for a reason.
	Well, that's absolutely right.
	It is very intentional.
	And if you go back and look a few years...
	Disney declared their intention.
	In an effort to encourage inclusivity and benefit cast members who don't necessarily identify as female, Disney ditched the Fairy Godmother in training title in place of Fairy Godmother's Apprentices.
	But now they've got the guy in a dress.
	Mustache, eyeshadow, and a dress.
	This way, cast members that might not identify as female can still be part of the process to dress up and style the children without having to refer to themselves as a female Disney character, said Disney at the time.
	What you saw with that, again, it was what?
	Uh, more than a decade ago that, um, Travis, who's young, uh, went with Karen into a target and they had a transgender guy, you know, just like Nick, um, you know, mustache and address and all this other kind of stuff working customer service.
	And that was very intentional.
	Going to put him in the spot in the store where he's going to have the most interaction with people.
	And that was when we were done with Target.
	We can't even boycott him anymore because we've been boycotting him for so long.
	We can't join in on this thing.
	Disney Plus is now putting out a show, A Girl Falling in Love with the Devil.
	This is their second devil-themed targeting kids that they have.
	Features a teenage girl's love affair with Satan.
	They already had one where the kid was a child of Satan or something like that.
	They just did.
	Ted Baer, I've been interviewed in the past, movie guide chairman and founder.
	Ted Baer said, we can't let this twisted, disturbing content corrupt our children's values and beliefs.
	Just turn it off. You're paying to have this stuff piped into your home.
	He said, let me be clear, Pauline is not just another piece of entertainment.
	Horrifically, this series even portrays Satan as a romantic partner.
	By normalizing and promoting such a relationship, Disney's Pauline sends a dangerous message to young viewers that associating with demons, Satan, and evil is acceptable, even desirable.
	And so it's an 18-year-old girl who becomes pregnant after a one-night stand with the devil.
	The series creators are the same ones who previously did a Netflix show, How to Sell Drugs Online Fast.
	They said, this is the one that we always wanted to do.
	Disney is now giving them the opportunity to do it.
	For a long time, the series has been and still remains a project that is very close to our hearts.
	Yeah, very close to our hearts.
	Well, you know, it's not just the LGBT, the CRT stuff, the race signaling that Disney is doing.
	But it's also The Little Mermaid, which I don't think has been released, but somehow somebody got the music from it.
	And I thought this is perfect.
	They had a little bit of a cut from it.
	With a still picture of two guys, and it looks like they're in a recording studio, a guy's just pulling off his headphone in disgust.
	And they said, these are the audio engineers who had to record this.
	Well, I was flying over land and seeing here to the ground.
	Then I came flying here for you to see and hear what I found.
	Remember the swamp? Remember my song in the swamp?
	And I was like, wah, chicka, wah, wah, chicka, wah, wah.
	I remember. Well, ever since, the what's-his-name, the guy with the hair and the shirt.
	Okay, I think that's enough of that.
	I'm with that audio engineer.
	I'm trying to pull the things out of me.
	If you're probably listening to the podcast, you're trying to do that as well.
	Yeah, it's cultural misappropriation, isn't it?
	I mean, it was written, the story was written by Hans Christian Andersen.
	Who was Danish.
	There's a statue, the Little Mermaid, in Copenhagen Harbor.
	Karen and I went to see it when we were covering Bilderberg.
	So, you know, I just looked at this and I thought, well, if they're going to go with a cultural misappropriation, they're going to, you know, turn everything upside down with that.
	Why didn't they just go with a merman?
	You know? Because, I mean, that's a big symbol for the LGBT people.
	There's mermaids and mermen and I like to dress up in these faux things.
	Why didn't they do that? I'm sure that would be very popular.
	You know, it could be a homosexual romance with a merman and a prince or something like that.
	Well, I imagine they're saving that for the next remake because that's all they do anymore, Disney.
	Going back to Target, we see the Vice President was on board for K-12 Transgender Advocacy Group, which is called GLSEN, G-L-S-E-N, Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network in 1990, which goes along with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
	That, you know, we're trolling Catholics with the Dodgers and stuff like that.
	You know, Sam Britton was a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
	Several people have picked up on that.
	But what I've not seen in any of those articles is that they don't mention that Sam Britton, besides, you know, the guy with the bald head and the mustache who stole the dresses and now he's in jail, you know, stole suitcases from multiple women.
	They got him for that, you know, because it was worth a lot of money.
	But that bald-headed guy with a mustache, bright red lipstick, wearing dresses and stuff like that, he was part of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, but he was also part big leader in the Trevor Project.
	Which was also focused on kids.
	So you have this guy who is, he's in charge, a vice president for Target, in charge of brand marketing.
	And he was there with this K-12 transgender advocacy group, GLSEN. And they got Sam Brinton.
	It was the nuclear engineer for, you know, the nuclear engineer.
	He was on the part of the nuclear waste department or something like that for Biden.
	But, you know, he picked him to elevate that.
	But he was part of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and part of the Trevor Project, which is, again, to groom the kids.
	There is, do you see a pattern that is happening with this?
	Very much a pattern.
	And, of course, Chick-fil-A has now been busted with their slavishly promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
	Clips from 2020.
	I'm not going to play the clip.
	I've got it here, but I think we're going to run out of time.
	But the clip of the son of the founder, who now runs a cafe, and he was there, and they had several people on stage with their chairs kind of in a semicircle in the audience facing them.
	And he was talking about white people are just inherently racist.
	And he says, and I saw in a church I went to, this white man just went over and polished the shoes of a black man who was there to apologize for his whiteness, that type of thing.
	And he went over and took a brush and started rubbing it on the sneakers of a black guy that was there.
	It was such a cringy, awkward moment, even for the black guy.
	And the black guy says, well, how about instead giving me some of the stock?
	It was not about that.
	But of course, it was around that time, maybe a couple of years before that, where Chick-fil-A announced that they were no longer going to give money to the Salvation Army or the Christian Fellowship of Athletes, and they were going to stop giving them money because they were getting hectored for being too Christian by the LGBT, by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and they gave money to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
	They just were paying off blackmail.
	That's all this is. You know, this guy who took it over again.
	You can't successfully transmit your values to somebody.
	That is something that is going to have to be between them and God.
	You know, you can do your best.
	And when we do the homeschooling stuff, we have to look at, I think, the best analogy is what they had in North Carolina, the Homeschooling Association.
	Called it the Greenhouse Report.
	What you can and what you must do with your kids is you must try to nurture them and protect them, like in a greenhouse, knowing that at some point they're going to have to be put out in the real world, and they may die.
	They may die spiritually.
	And you just have to leave that up to God.
	But you plant, you water, and it's up to God to give the increase, and you can pray for that.
	And that makes a big deal. You may not see that prayer answered.
	Maybe not even in your lifetime.
	But I still believe that if you plant and you water and you pray, that that prayer will be answered.
	And you can trust in that.
	Before we go to break, let me read some of the comments here.
	And some tips. Thank you very much.
	On Rumble, North American House Hippo.
	Thank you very much for the tip. He says, Good morning, David.
	I'm one of those who unknowingly let his Subscribestar lapse, but I fixed it.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Love and best wishes to you and everyone.
	Thank you as always. Well, thank you.
	Now, they don't give you a notification.
	They just, oh well, it's not there.
	And they went through and said along those lines, they purged.
	Uh, about 40% of, uh, we just had another big person.
	I don't know what percentage is up to, uh, of, uh, the people who are on subscribe star.
	So I don't know if that was intentional to people or they just, you know, had an expired credit card and they, they just pull the people off on rumble.
	Um, it's Plissken snake Plissken.
	Uh, I'm glad you're not dead.
	Thank you for the tip investment from the David Knight dot goal from David Knight dot goal is on the way.
	Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
	I don't know if you're the one who subscribed for me on the Wise Wolf thing, but there is a person who did that, and I really do appreciate that.
	And so maybe that's Plissken.
	Rumble, way cool, Snoopy.
	Thank you very much. That's very generous.
	Hi, David and family.
	Hoping to move the fuel gauge on this last day of the month.
	By the way, don't be confused by the Rumble moniker.
	This is MJ. Well, thank you very much.
	And we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	And now, the David Knight Show.
	I thought this was funny.
	I saw this article on The Hill, and it showed pictures of really rich people, you know, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and so forth and Bill Gates.
	These billionaires have more money than the U.S. Treasury does right now.
	Well, guess what? So do you.
	If you're not $31 trillion in debt, you have more money than the U.S. Treasury does as well.
	They're spending money they don't have.
	They're making this stuff up.
	Nobody else can do that but the federal government.
	So even the poorest person in the poorest country has got more money than the federal government does.
	And yet it just keeps skating on somehow.
	This thing that seems to have, if not eternal life, it has eternal lies.
	So McCarthy's debt ceiling is getting pushed back on by a lot of people.
	They're not very happy with what he's doing.
	And you've got even people like Lindsey Graham saying, we've got to have more money for war.
	More for war.
	More for war. It could be a slogan for...
	For Lindsey Graham.
	He can have a couple of them. More wars and more money for war.
	So he is there.
	And so there's talk about whether or not there's going to be a mutiny.
	And Republicans who said that they're not going to vote to push this through has now increased to 26 Republicans.
	Nancy Mace joined the list.
	Of those who are pushing back against Kevin McCarthy on the Republican side, and as some of them are saying, if this is going to be shut down, if he can't even carry the Republicans on this, perhaps this is going to be a move to not just reject McCarthy's deal, but to reject him as Speaker of the House.
	Bishop becomes the first Republican to publicly support ousting McCarthy.
	He says, I think it's got to be done, he said.
	He was the only Republican at the House Freedom Caucus press conference to raise his hand to signal that he would support ousting McCarthy over the deal.
	But he said, I think it's got to be done.
	They are the ones who are perhaps the most conservative.
	So all eyes are focused on Thomas Massey.
	Is he going to go along with this?
	Chip Roy has said, as I pointed out yesterday, in his opinion, this was a turd sandwich.
	That was his term.
	I would say maybe he ought to characterize it as the fart of the deal.
	Because this thing definitely stinks.
	Being sold to us by Breitbart and other people.
	Look at, we're going to cut this by two trillion.
	It cut a thing. It's going to be bigger next year than it is this year.
	It's just not going to be $2 trillion bigger than it was.
	They cut the increase, but it's still going to be an increase.
	It's not going to be as big of an increase.
	And only in Washington is that seen as a victory.
	Only in Washington is that portrayed as a cut.
	It's nothing of the sort.
	And so the question is, will it clear the rules committee?
	Poor Thomas Massey asked a lot of questions yesterday.
	And so he is on the Rules Committee.
	Will it pass that? Will he vote for it if it does pass through that committee?
	So it is something that the debt ceiling deal, the major winner and the major loser from Murray Sabrin.
	He said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pats himself on the back for the debt ceiling bill that he negotiated with Biden.
	He begins his self-congratulatory piece by saying, in Washington, wasteful government spending almost always goes up.
	And Sabrin says, Earth to Speaker McCarthy, it is not wasteful spending that's the problem.
	It's all the spending that's not authorized by the Constitution.
	And this is the problem I've had for the longest time.
	I remember when the Tea Party movement was there.
	Taxed enough already.
	And I knew a lot of people who went from Raleigh up to Washington, D.C. to march in that.
	I said, so what is their vision?
	What do they want government to do?
	You want to balance the budget?
	How do you want to balance the budget? They don't want more taxes.
	I said, we're taxed enough already.
	So it implied that they wanted to cut spending, but what spending?
	You're going to cut any of these unconstitutional bureaucracies that are there?
	What are you going to do to actually cut spending?
	Well, we don't know. We just want them to cut it somehow.
	It's wasteful. There's also an organization that was called for years, Citizens Against Government Waste.
	They may still be around. And it was the sort of thing where we can just make government more efficient and we can balance the budget.
	I said, no, you got to make government follow the law.
	That they swore to uphold.
	They took an oath as a condition of their authority to the Constitution.
	They need to follow that first and foremost.
	That's why I don't support the balanced budget amendment ideas or using that as a prod to get people into a constitutional convention, which is a very, very dangerous thing.
	No, the Constitutional Convention would be run by the people who are not following the Constitution right now.
	Do you really want them writing a new Constitution when they don't follow the one that they've got?
	And so, yeah, if they just were to get the government, they used to have a liner tag.
	Let's make government small enough to fit in the Constitution.
	That's what I used to open up with a liner about.
	And that's what needs to be done.
	I just talked last week about the fact that when they moved, The federal government from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., they only had 125 employees.
	And when Jefferson took office, he criticized that government of John Adams with 125 federal employees.
	He criticized it as being bloated.
	He said, we have multiplied useless offices and officers.
	To essentially tax us too much.
	And in his second inaugural term, he said we got rid of them.
	And now nobody inside America knows the tax man from the federal government.
	But the Republicans say, well, we'll just grow, we'll do a $60 billion increase to the IRS, which currently has a $16 billion budget.
	And we'll give it an additional $60 billion.
	We'll only grow up by a factor of four.
	The Democrats are going to grow up by a factor of five.
	See, we're fiscally responsible.
	This is like the people who try to placate the climate Marxists Oh, this climate MacGuffin.
	Pretending that the MacGuffin is real.
	Pretending that they really care about CO2 or methane.
	That's not what it's about at all.
	And if you want to pretend that, that's what these people who say, well, we're going to get rid of wasteful spinning.
	It's not about that at all.
	It's about their authority.
	I mean, he absolutely got that right.
	Feinstein, by the way, we're not really sure how she's going to vote on this because she's not really sure where she is.
	She saw Lala Harris in the Senate, and she said, what's she doing here?
	That's the question that everybody's been asking her.
	I guess she's just repeating what she heard everybody say.
	People see Dianne Feinstein in those days walking around about Dianne Feinstein.
	What is she doing here?
	So she said that about Lala Harris, who is not quite all there herself either, but certainly not...
	And the state of cognitive decline that Dianne Feinstein was.
	I don't know if Lala ever achieved a certain level of cognitive ability to see that there was going to be a decline.
	We'll be right back.
	Let me tell you.
	The David Knight Show.
	You can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah, good job.
	And you want to know something else?
	You can find all the links to everywhere to watch or listen to the show at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	That's a website.
	Let's talk a little bit about money.
	We've got Argentina launching its highest denomination banknote in the middle of an economic crisis.
	They've had prices rise in April alone by 109%.
	Think about that.
	In just one month, 110% essentially in Argentina.
	The largest increase since 1991.
	And it is expected to continue.
	Of course it is. Once it gets on fire like this, it'll be hard to put that out.
	So they launched this week a new 2,000 peso bill.
	This new note is barely equivalent to $4.
	And the exchange rate, the official exchange rate is not $4, it's $8.50.
	And as I've said many times before, Jim Rogers, investment guy, actually he worked for Soros for a while.
	He helped to make Soros rich.
	He knows what he's talking about.
	And he's really kind of got a libertarian bent to what he does.
	But anyway, he went around the world, investment biker, and he said...
	Doing an up-close travel log of his travels kind of from a perspective of an investor and from a political perspective, he said, you can always measure the corruption of a government by looking at the spread between the official exchange rate and the exchange rate on the open market.
	And so in Argentina, I'd say it's pretty big.
	Because if this 2,000 peso bill is worth $4 on the open market, but the official exchange rate is more than double that, 850, well, that tells you something about the corruption, even if 110% inflation doesn't tell you about the corruption.
	And they are being run by the Peronistas.
	Don't cry for me, Argentina.
	Marxist authoritarians. Of course, they were fascists, I think.
	Anyway, and there's not a dime's worth of difference, really, between the fascists and the Marxists.
	It's just the lies that they tell you to get into office.
	Who expected higher denomination banknotes to deal with the rising inflation?
	Well, they did. They did.
	We know we can fix the inflation by adding some zeros to the paper money and printing more of it.
	I guess we shouldn't laugh. That's really where our Federal Reserve is as well.
	So, this is creating all kinds of logistical problems for payments.
	The population is forced to carry more and more cash due to this rampant inflation.
	You know, the proverbial wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a loaf of bread type of thing.
	It's pushed the country into a recession ahead of this year's presidential election.
	And now, a libertarian economist...
	Javier Malai is leading in the polls.
	Well, let's hope that he is a disciple of Milton Friedman.
	Get this monetary inflation under control one way or the other.
	But it's going to be painful now after the situation that they're in.
	Economists consulted by the central bank forecast annual inflation close to 150% over the next 12 months.
	They actually put this in with a straight face, in other words.
	They didn't say, well, how could this be?
	They just had 109% inflation in April.
	So you're only going to have 150 for the year?
	Even if it was year to year, which I didn't see that in the article, it's accelerating significantly.
	Americans rank gold as the second best long-term investment.
	And you may ask, so what is number one?
	Well, real estate.
	But that is also subject to the The vicissitudes of the Federal Reserve in terms of interest rates and things like that, they can tank that market and make that completely illiquid.
	The perception that gold as the best investment over the long term rose from 15% in 2022 to 26% in 2023.
	And real estate, which is number one, dropped significantly.
	As a matter of fact, the way it was, real estate at 34% dropped quite a bit from...
	45%. Gold went up quite a bit to 26%.
	18% of people said stocks were the best investment.
	13% said CDs and 7% said bonds.
	Cryptocurrency was down at 4% from 8% a year ago.
	And that, as much as anything else, is the fact that the Biden administration has made no bones about the fact that they are hell-bent to make it illegal in the United States.
	The number of Americans naming gold as the best long-term investment doubled, almost doubled, from last year, despite interest rates climbing to a 16-year high in March.
	Even though interest rates are high, people are not piling into CDs.
	Yes, they expect they're going to go higher, but they also think the dollar is going to lose its value, and I think they're right about that.
	Gold bar and gold coin demand grew by 2% globally.
	So, in India, we talked about Argentina, they have hyperinflation that they're dealing with.
	In India, they have a government that, like the American government, like the Biden administration, has held vent on going cashless.
	The Indian Central Bank has announced another round of demonetization with a plan to withdraw the 2000 rupee notes from circulation.
	Sounds like the 2000 peso in Argentina, right?
	The announcement led to a big jump in gold bullion sales.
	Right now, the 2,000 rupee note is equivalent to $24.
	It is the largest currency denomination in India, and it makes up about 11% of the currency.
	Top official at the Indian Finance Ministry said confiscation of the 2,000 rupee notes would not cause any disruptions.
	And just like the people in Argentina said, hey, if we put more zeros behind this stuff, it'll cure inflation.
	He said it'll not result in any disruption either in normal life or in the economy.
	And yet the Indian government announced We've seen this happen before.
	Back in 2016, they announced a demonetization policy that was meant to drive what they call black money out of the shadows.
	Just like the U.S. government calls the part of the Internet that they can't see things very easily.
	There isn't anything that's hidden from these guys.
	I mean, they can drill down and find pretty much anything they want.
	But for a while it was difficult for them to see, and it still is a bit more difficult for them to see what is going on in the dark web.
	It's not dark and sinister like the Washington Post.
	It's just that they can't see it.
	And so in India, they call cash black money because they can't see it.
	If they can't see it, they can't tax it.
	It's just that simple. It's black money.
	Got to drive it out of the shadows.
	They declared that all 1,500 rupee notes then in circulation would no longer be valid back in 2016.
	The suddenly worthless notes made up 86% of the currency in circulation at the time.
	The move made virtually all of the cash in India valueless.
	Now, what they don't talk about in this article, which is very important for the context of this, is the fact that at this time, Bill Gates was working with the Indian government to institute the Adhar system, where you have to have a government digital ID number.
	It's a number. You've got to take the number of the beast, the government.
	And then, you know, after they take away your cash and they keep you poor, well, you can get welfare payments and you can get medical care, but you've got to have the beast number.
	And so that was just part of the pincer move.
	Take away their cash.
	Take away, you know, they already don't have opportunities with this stuff.
	And so let's corral them into the ID system.
	You need to think about these things because they're doing this to people in India and other places as a test case, just like they rolled out CBDC in Nigeria first as a test case.
	And it failed miserably.
	But they're learning from that.
	Okay, that didn't work there.
	How are we going to do it differently? How can we get this to work so we can do it to Americans and to Europeans?
	So now the government is going to pull the 2,000 rupee note out of circulation.
	The government policy announced in 2016 was meant to force Indians to trade in the old paper money for new paper money.
	But there was a catch.
	The government placed limits on the amount of currency that Indians could exchange.
	But there was no limits on bank deposits until the end of the year.
	So what they were doing was deliberately herding them into the banks for control, for visibility, for taxation.
	The demonetization policy resulted in severe cash shortages.
	As many as 90% of the ATMs in some regions of the country completely ran out of currency.
	And, of course, all this is part of the bigger war on cash.
	And the war on cash is a war on privacy.
	It's part of the war of surveillance.
	The Indian government's move was part of the broader war on cash, the goal to bring black money out of the shadows so it can be tracked and taxed.
	Transactions using black money mean that no taxes are collected.
	And, of course, this isn't unique to India.
	The European Central Bank stopped producing and issuing 500-euro notes in 2018.
	Officials in the U.S. have floated the idea of eliminating the $100 bill.
	And if you remember, it's now been a couple of months.
	You had Christine Lagarde.
	I always want to say Ursula von der Leiden because of her name, you know.
	Ursula. Anyway, no, it was Christine Lagarde who said, as she was being spoofed by these Russian comedians impersonating, I think it was Zelensky, she was talking about how, well, you know, we're getting rid of cash.
	And these people want to risk it, you know, but we're going to, you know, there'll be criminal penalties for this, but we're going to get rid of cash.
	So, this is to push the CBDC. They know this in Europe.
	They know it in the U.S. The move comes ahead of elections in four Indian states.
	Most of India's political parties are believed to be hoarding cash in high-denomination bills so they can fund the election campaign expenses to get around tough spending limits imposed by the Election Commission.
	They're crooks. They don't follow the laws.
	They're the biggest hoarders of cash so that they can operate outside of the system.
	We say this all the time.
	So, how did the Indians respond?
	Well, when they pulled out the money in 2016, the 500 and the 1,000 rupee notes, people started turning their cash into gold.
	They wanted them to be forced to put it into the banking system where they could keep an eye on it.
	And instead, what they did was they put it into gold.
	Jewelry sales spiked the night of November the 8th, 2016 when they announced the demonetization policy.
	Jewelers offered a platform to convert unreported cash into gold.
	And to avoid reporting the transactions, sellers simply split single transactions into multiple sales in order to keep them below the threshold.
	So they structured the sales.
	It's called structuring, right?
	And of course, you do that in the U.S. That's also something that would be a crime.
	But the elimination of the 2,000 rupee note has also created a similar rush to jewelry shops.
	People scrambled to buy gold and silver in bulk in bullion markets, leading to increases in prices and dealers in several states, of course, running out of supplies.
	Gold is not just a luxury in India.
	Even poor people buy gold in India.
	According to an ICE 360 survey in 2018, one out of every two households in India purchased gold within the last five years.
	Overall, 87% of households in the country own some amount of gold.
	Even households at the lowest income levels in India own some gold.
	According to the survey, more than 75% of families in the bottom 10% had managed to buy some gold.
	Because their government has been openly coming after them on this for quite some time.
	So again, if you want to get gold, I can definitely recommend Tony Arterman.
	He has been a big supporter of this program.
	You can get to Wise Wolf Gold.
	If you go to davidknight.gold, he knows that you came through me.
	So by all means, go to davidknight.gold.
	Start preparing because these people are preparing to do all the stuff that I've just told you about.
	That's here in the United States.
	We'll be right back. Let the seed in our homeland, boys Let it grow where all can see Feed it with our devotion, boys Call it the Liberty Tree It's a tall old tree And a strong old tree And we are the sons,
	yes we are the sons The sons of liberty Liberty,
	it's your move.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, so we've had the Easter Parade.
	You just saw the tea party parade, the real tea party parade.
	And Pride Month is coming up, tomorrow begins, and it's all the headlines on the Drudge Report, beginning with a war on pride.
	And this is one of the stories that he has up there.
	This is the Washington Post, celebrating the fact, you know, as they do the hit piece on Christian homeschoolers, Talk about how they beat their kids.
	Nothing like that ever happens in schools, right?
	In schools, they leave the beatings to the other students, to fellow students.
	They leave the indoctrination, much of it, to the fellow students, but a lot of it is being pushed on the kids.
	Yeah, so just compare it.
	I remember we had a friend of mine in North Carolina would always, he had a news aggregation site And there's a constant stream of teachers who sexually abuse children.
	And he would feature the article up there, and he would put in front of the article, not a homeschool.
	This is happening everywhere, in our society especially.
	But this is not a homeschool.
	This is happening in the government's own schools.
	And so everything that they, all the bricks that they throw at other people, they've got a lot more of those on their own.
	And so now the Washington Post, again, Very happy about the fact that non-churchgoers now rule the GOP. Move over evangelicals, says the Washington Post.
	So is this a war on pride or is this a war on God?
	What is it a war on?
	The religious right might be flexing its muscles as it pushes to restrict abortions and to ban gender-affirming surgery, mutilation for minors, sterilization for minors in many states.
	But when it comes to the strength of the Republican Party these days, the real brawn can often be found amongst the less religious.
	This isn't to say that Republicans are giving up on faith.
	Nine out of ten Republicans believe in God.
	Eighty-seven percent say the Bible is either the literal or the inspired word of God.
	But as the country as a whole becomes less religiously active, so too does the GOP. Non-churchgoers played a central role in pulling the GOP towards Trump and his brand of populism over the past six years.
	In the early years of the Trump administration, they were the ones most likely to support the hard line on immigration.
	And so, this thing that started out as non-churchgoers, now you've got people like Michael Flynn...
	Who have put on this religious pretense to hold these political pseudo-religious revivals.
	They call it Reawaken America.
	He does that with Eric Trump and with Julie Green who has made just a continuous stream of prophecies about what was going to happen with Trump and with the people that Trump endorsed.
	And every single one of them failing over and over again, and yet they still keep her up there.
	And then Michael Flynn brings these people in these big mega church buildings where they spend tens of millions of dollars on their vanity and pride to build a building like that.
	And he leads occultic prayers by another false prophetess from the 1980s, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
	Yeah, that's the state of the GOP, frankly.
	So, as the Washington Post says, soon, however, these evangelicals saw a thrice-married adulterer who routinely defied GOP orthodoxy as one of their own.
	I said that many times.
	I said, you know, when I would talk about these pride parades that we're going to be seeing left and right everywhere, I said, I used to say that the only people who were proud enough of their sin to hold a parade were the LGBT. Until Donald Trump came along.
	I used to say, do you see any parades out there?
	Do you have the adultery parade?
	Yes, I cheated on my wife and I'm proud of it.
	Let's have a parade and celebrate it.
	No, they didn't do that. Until Trump came along.
	And then he was his own one-man parade.
	So, yeah, democracy dies in satanic darkness, doesn't it?
	Non-church-going voters don't want their party to go too far on abortion, says Washington Post.
	Non-church-going Republicans could help the party in other respects as well.
	And so they can, new Republican Party, says Washington Post, so we can get rid of these churchgoers.
	We can get rid of these homeschoolers.
	The Washington Post. Democracy dies in satanic darkness, like the Washington Post.
	If we can get rid of those people, a new Republican Party might emerge that will be thick with Christian symbolism, but light on religious practice and eccommunicable in its culture wars.
	This Republican Party would be less pious and polite than But it might be able to win more elections.
	You know, let's take a look at the advice of Giuliani.
	Because, you know, this is his idea, too.
	We've got to have something that's more modern.
	I think the biggest problem right now, I think abortion, you can work out.
	You know, I like abortion.
	I'd rather not see abortions.
	I'd like to work to reduce the number of abortions.
	I think a woman has a right. I think the gay rights issue is a more current one.
	Yes. It's a more current one right now.
	And I think beyond all the religious and social parts of it, it makes the party look like it isn't A modern party.
	It doesn't understand the modern world.
	It's not a modern party.
	It doesn't understand the modern world.
	This is a guy talking about women's rights.
	Have you seen the lawsuit filed by his personal assistant?
	You'll see how he denigrated her.
	How he used her.
	The demands that he made about her.
	The demands that he made for, hey, give me $2 million and I'll get your pardon with Trump.
	You want that? You want a Republican Party that's led by people devoid of character, devoid of morality, people like Giuliani and Trump?
	You want that? You really want the Giuliani Party?
	And do you remember in 2020, just before the election, Melania was making her case about how Trump had made his peace with the LGBT? Donald is the first president to enter the White House supporting gay marriage.
	Donald is also the first president to appoint an openly gay official to his cabinet.
	Yeah, let's virtue signal about that.
	You want to talk about diversity, inclusivity, and equity, and all the, you know, identity politics involved in that?
	Yeah, we'll run on that.
	They ran on that in 2020.
	He was already dead to me as far as I was concerned with the lockdown and the masks and the vaccine and the rest of the stuff.
	Trump was dead to me.
	That could have sealed the deal right there, but it was already too late.
	Tiffany. In terms of campaigning for him in 2020.
	You want to know, is Trump running to the left?
	Trump ran to the left in 2020.
	He'd already embraced gun control in 2019 by executive order.
	He'd already embraced the LGBT agenda.
	Do you want to know how far to the left, how far away from the Constitution and the law?
	He's gonna run? Well, this is a good example.
	Here's Tiffany talking about her dad.
	I know what my father believes in.
	Prior to politics, he supported gays, lesbians, the LGBTQIA plus community.
	Okay?
	People, you unfortunately see social media.
	You see these fabricated lies.
	It saddens me.
	I have friends of mine who reach out.
	I'm going to say how they make up stories.
	I say it's because my father has always supported all of us.
	He's not doing it.
	He's never done for politics.
	And he's not doing it for politics.
	And unfortunately, I think there's a lot of people out there and other politicians who do.
	He speaks from the heart.
	He says what he says.
	He means it. Perhaps it's a little too hardcore or just honest.
	But don't we want someone who's going to get up there and speak?
	Yeah, somebody's going to get up there and make it happen.
	You know, all that abortion stuff, we can figure that out.
	Let's just not be too harsh on anybody except the babies.
	You know, we can figure out when we can split the baby into different parts.
	We can draw that line somewhere.
	You know, all this pandering didn't work for them.
	Going back to 2020, you had CNN after all that said, well, look at what this guy has done.
	You know, a week after the election, Trump said in a televised interview that he was fine with the Supreme Court's decision to allow same-sex marriage, but it was not exactly a ringing endorsement.
	You've got to get down on your hands and knees and lick their boots, or maybe, you know, polish them like the Chick-fil-A CEO. It's irrelevant because it's already settled, said Trump, of same-sex marriage.
	Who settled it? Who has the constitutional authority to settle it?
	And then he has his PayPal.
	You know, the billionaire who supports him and other candidates financially.
	Peter Thiel, the PayPal investor.
	of the GOP. Just like these other billionaires.
	Stay away from abortion.
	Stay away from this LGBT stuff.
	Stay away. Let the groomers do what they want to to the kids.
	Let's just not... We can win and we can do things to make ourselves richer.
	Just don't get hung up on any morality or character issues, okay?
	And if you remember, this is what he had to say at the convention.
	Peter Thiel. Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom.
	This is a distraction from our real problems.
	Who cares?
	Who cares?
	Who cares about pedos?
	We don't care.
	Not the Republican Party.
	Yeah. Of course, every American has a unique identity.
	I am proud to be gay.
	I am proud to be a Republican.
	But most of all, I am proud to be an American.
	That was Peter Thiel, billionaire co-founder of PayPal, speaking to the convention.
	Yeah, and that was in 2016.
	You know, the problem then was, hey, you know, boys and the girls showers in restrooms.
	Who cares, he said.
	I'm proud to be gay, Republican, and American.
	You know what he didn't tell you he's proud of?
	But he is. He didn't tell you he's proud to be transhumanist.
	He didn't tell you that he's proud to be funding research towards a singularity where we can all become cyborgs.
	He and Musk are both on the same page about that.
	He didn't tell you how proud he is of his satanic agenda.
	He just told you, hey, it doesn't matter.
	Who cares what happens in the schools?
	Who cares about that?
	Hey, let's make some money, he said.
	Well, we're going to take a break, and we're going to have Don Jeffries join us to talk about his new book on what happened and what's going to happen, what happened with the COVID war, what is going to be happening.
	Before we take the break, though, let me just say thank you to some people who have left tips.
	Rockfin, Angus Mustang, thank you very much.
	Greg Talent, thank you as well.
	And RumbleYJ72.com.
	It says, Thank you, David, for spreading the truth.
	And David and family, as dark as it seems, sometimes God is on our side.
	May his word knowledge touch you and your family always.
	Well, thank you very much. And to you as well, all of the listeners.
	And one more message here.
	Thank you very much on Rockfin.
	This is Modern Retro Radio.
	He says, David, my web radio station will be running an independent artist's rotation the weekend before July 4th.
	It'd be my honor to include some of your original music.
	Well, absolutely. Yeah, I'd be happy to do that.
	And hopefully you won't get your sight taken down.
	YouTube took down my Christmas Carol channel six months later because somebody complained about it, I guess.
	I don't know. It wasn't any...
	These are Christmas carols in the public domain that I played and all the rest of the stuff.
	But hey, it's me.
	Something about me. It must have been something I said.
	I don't know. We'll be right back with Don Jeffries.
	Don Jeffries The common man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	The David Knight Show dot com.
	Thank you.
	Welcome back, and joining us now is Don Jeffries, and you can find him on Substack, donaldjeffries.substack.com, but it's also there as iProtest.
	And before we talk about his book, we did a repeat on Memorial Day.
	I had this to talk about it, along with some other people's comments about Memorial Day and ongoing wars.
	I didn't get to that yesterday, but I want to talk about that now and begin with an excellent op-ed piece.
	That Don wrote, Standing Up for Peace on Memorial Day.
	Thank you for joining us, Donald. It's always a pleasure to be here, Dave.
	Tell us a little bit about your, tell the audience about your take, because I've got it right here in front of me, about your take on Memorial Day and on war in general and how we, you know, part of what you've got here is just how we are led along the With hero worship.
	And I've seen this in China as well.
	When we went to China, I was absolutely amazed to see all the Mao merchandise.
	The Mao merchandise. It was everywhere.
	Everywhere. And people were buying it, you know, commemorative stuff.
	This is a guy who killed more of his own citizens than any other political leader ever in history.
	And they're buying mugs and posters and all this kind of stuff.
	And we do the same thing here, don't we?
	Yeah, I mean, we just, and that's why, you know, my heroes don't fit in on, like, in general, Smedley Butler.
	I mean, he just doesn't, one of the comments on my sub-stack piece talked about he was tempted to bring up Smedley Butler at the family gathering on Memorial Day, but, I mean, it just doesn't fit.
	Somebody wrote a war as a racket.
	Even John F. Kennedy, I think one of the main reasons, J.F.K., and I write about the Kennedys a lot, and how they really, so many people still hate the Kennedys, and I try to point out, look, they're really different than these other Democrats.
	They don't get the kind of press.
	And most of it is being at press because Kennedy made, I think, the greatest speech any president ever has.
	That's the American University speech in June of 1963.
	And listen to that speech.
	I mean, he talked about, you know, he's the first president.
	None of our politicians do that.
	He acknowledged that our enemies at the time of the Soviets were human beings.
	He talked about them loving their children.
	And I still talk, I remember getting in an argument with people when they talk about Nazis and stuff, and I said, well, do you, you know, do you recognize that they're human beings?
	No, no. I said, do you reckon that they had families?
	They, maybe they loved their, presumably they loved their children, but that's what happens when you get into this war mentality.
	You don't acknowledge that your opponents, who are just being manipulated like we are, Are actually human beings that could love and could be good people.
	They're just fighting for what they think is right.
	But we're always fighting for something.
	I don't think it's any accident that I think the greatest woman in American history was Jeanette Rankin.
	I think she was the first member of Congress.
	She was one of only a handful who voted against our entrance into World War I, and she was the only person who had the guts to vote against declaring war on the Japanese at Pearl Harbor.
	And she had to go seek police to help, and her career was over after that.
	And she was like a feminist, a typical leftist.
	I quote her in there, and she talks about, you know, war is a stupid way of resolving things.
	And we are so enthralled with it still.
	And you see now the left, where I came from.
	I started out as a classical liberal.
	To see the left love war and talk about nuclear option and talk about, let's go to war with Russia.
	This is not Iraq or Afghanistan.
	It's a country that will actually fight back.
	It's insanity, but we never seem to get tired of war.
	You see Lady Lindsey Graham recently talking about the best money we've ever spent or something.
	On the Ukraine, because the dead Russians and everything, it's like...
	I don't know why, so my piece is just to try to say, does anybody, who spoke, I mean, Kennedy's Pete speech was fear, and, you know, Trump's pronouncements here or there, because Trump will once in a while talk about, you know, maybe it's so bad to get along with Russia, but he'll do it in the middle of a, you know, 100 counter thing, so he gets lost in the shuffle, but there's nobody really speaking out for Pete.
	He just doesn't, Gerald Salente, our friend Gerald Salente had an anti-war rally a couple months back, and I don't even know if it drew 100 people.
	Yeah. I mean, just peace is just not popular.
	War is. You give a parade with the military veterans and the kids.
	The kids love it. Old people love it.
	Everybody loves to wave those flags.
	And it's those of us that are trying to counsel peace.
	It's like, you know, we get called names.
	And it's just, I don't know. I just think that I think we've been at war for years.
	But 90% of our time since we became a country or something like that, people have established.
	Maybe we're due for a little bit of peace, but it doesn't seem to be something that most people want.
	I agree. I agree.
	And it does ring hollow.
	We see these politicians laying flowers and saying thank you for your service while they're planning in the midst of another unnecessary war.
	And that's the key thing.
	You point out, you said, I'm not a pacifist.
	But you said, you know, you talk about people on the left, and I began the program with a poll that was done in Canada.
	The people who... I went with the vaccine and all the narrative and, you know, believed everything the government told them.
	They were typically between 80 and 85 percent of them on all these different questions about what the U.S. should do in terms of continued involvement and escalation in Ukraine.
	80 to 85 percent of them were fully on board, whereas the people who didn't get the vaccine, they were just the opposite.
	You know, it was typically about 10 to 15 percent that would agree with those authoritarian proposals.
	So it was like this 80-20 thing.
	And it has to do with people who buy into the narrative and buy into the story there.
	And we see that right now, predominantly on the left.
	And I don't want to get into the book just yet.
	I've got another question about you with this stuff.
	But when you look at...
	What happened in terms of denying people's humanity?
	Well, we saw that left and right throughout all this COVID stuff as well, didn't we?
	But when you say, you talk about people on the right, people who say they follow Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and yet they're also about war.
	What do you think about the just war theory that Augustine put in there?
	Well, again, most of us, we think, and I've written extensively about Abraham Lincoln and the war between the states, and that's one of the good wars, supposedly, and the other good war is World War II, and again, it's very emotional, and I wrote a lot, and I don't really go into the Holocaust or anything, but I talked very much about the Allied atrocities.
	Somebody was writing on my, I get lots of comments on my sub-stack, was talking about Dresden, and If there is such a thing as a war crime, I can't think of a worse one than Dresden.
	We bombed the good guys that did it.
	I can't remember the statistics.
	It's something horrible. We killed something like 38,000 babies or something like that in that bombing.
	And it had no military value whatsoever.
	We just did it.
	And those people that were later Bomber Harris, Arthur Harris, the Royal Air Force...
	We didn't back down. You know, decades later, people questioned about it.
	They were proud that they did it.
	And when we talk about supporting the troops and thanking you for your service or anything, supporting the troops, we're supporting their agenda.
	It's not their agenda.
	What they're sent to do. So you're supporting the people who sent them into battle.
	And you're enabling this mindset.
	So if you support, you know, what we saw, look, when you have somebody like Bradley Kelty Manning, who's still sitting in prison, through Julian Assange, who also is in prison.
	Danger of being prosecuted.
	We learned some of the horrible things, which really, again, goes back to the Civil War, or even the war with Mexico, even before that.
	We saw troops doing things in Iraq, like playing soccer with decapitated heads for Rockies, and, you know, urinating on their corpses.
	It's a Blowing up the wrong house and lighting up kids and killing them.
	These are unbelievable atrocities.
	And people, if you gloss over that, that kills your humanity.
	If you're supporting what they did, they're doing those kinds.
	Not all of them are doing that, obviously.
	But maybe it's only a fraction, but By putting them in these positions, you're ensuring that those kinds of things happen because they don't...
	Let me go back to the Mai Lai Massacre in Vietnam and Operation Phoenix where we had a program of assassinating people in Vietnam.
	Nobody talks about these things.
	These are not... It's not like the War of 1812 when...
	Britain came to the shores and attacked the White House.
	Okay, well, I can say we have to fight battle war.
	That's really what the just war is really about.
	So the justified war is in self-defense.
	If somebody comes in, like the British did, and they've attacked, you defend yourself.
	You take certain actions to make sure that you try to, as much as possible, distinguish between combatants and non-combatants.
	Yes. Not have what we've cynically called collateral damage.
	And then the object of it is to cease hostilities as soon as possible.
	And that's what I said earlier. I said, you know, there is no justification in this war in Ukraine.
	Forget about arguing who fired the first shot.
	Talk about the fact that they're not looking to end it.
	You know, that's the key thing, that they don't want peace under any circumstances.
	That's the real tell. You know, you're talking about the bombing of Dresden and things like that.
	Robert McNamara. I was trying to, in the Fog of War documentary where he's talking about that, he was trying to excuse himself from the false flag that started the Vietnam War.
	He admitted it was a false flag.
	He tried to excuse himself from the false flag, tried to excuse himself from this phony justification of a domino theory, which he admitted was a lie.
	And to excuse the fact that they just used people as cannon fodder to test their weapons, he said, well, you know, if we had lost World War I, we would have been tried as war criminals because of the bombings of Dresden and other places like that.
	He admitted it. Let's talk a little bit about your book here, Masking the Truth.
	Is it out yet? You sent me a preview.
	Yes, it's out, but what we're doing is this is a different publisher.
	I have a small publisher, Midnight Writer News Press, and we are holding it back a couple weeks from Amazon and Barnes& Noble and everything because if people buy it through the publisher, and if you go to my sub-stack, I have the link there.
	It's through Lulu, but if you go to that link, people ask me all the time, where can I buy your book and you'll get a bigger percentage?
	What? Writers notoriously get very small royalty rates.
	So, you know, the people that produce work, like in anything, whether it's music or whatever, get a very small percentage of it.
	And that definitely is the first and foremost of the writers.
	So, in this case, if you buy it there, I will get a larger cut.
	You won't pay any more for the book, but I'll get a larger percentage of it.
	So, we're asking, lots of people have already said they bought it.
	So, it'll be up on Amazon and everywhere else.
	We're in a week or two, but right now you can go there.
	If you don't follow me, please follow me.
	Subscribe to me on Substack, and the link is there on my last article about the book.
	Okay, and you're on Substack as Donald Jeffrey, not Don Jeffries, and they can also find it as iProtest there.
	I think it's very important for us to go back and to look at what happened.
	And we're starting to see that in a lot of different quarters.
	The subtitle of your book is How COVID-19 Destroyed Civil Liberties and Shut Down the World.
	And that was what Neil Gorsuch was talking about as well.
	And so it's good that we go back and we look at this.
	From a civil liberties perspective, from an economics perspective, from a medical perspective, from a constitutional perspective.
	And I think it's important for us to know all the different tells that alerted many of us from the very beginning of this thing that this is a fraud.
	What was it that you picked up on from the very beginning that this was a sham?
	Well, it was at the very beginning.
	I think it was one of the first.
	I didn't swallow it for a second.
	I'm familiar with the fear porn thing, where they're constantly trying to keep the Earth.
	Whether it's an asteroid that's going to come close to the Earth.
	There's always something out there to hang over people's heads.
	But this could happen. I remember Ebola and monkeypox and kind of hearing that in the background.
	But it was nothing like this.
	But when they... When they started claiming there were videos of people in China dropping dead in the streets, and then in particular that video of the woman who was nonsensically walking around and spitting on doorknobs and candles, then they claimed they were nailing people into their houses when you had a window right next to the nailed door.
	They could have broke the window if they absolutely had it.
	I said, this is really overkill.
	And then when they quarantined an entire country, I don't think that had ever happened before.
	I was obviously dubious, and then I just started researching it.
	I thought, you know, I might write a book about this.
	I didn't know where it was going. But, you know, when they, early on, showed that they just kind of quietly, after putting this fear porn in people about, and first in China, when China eventually admitted, I have all this in the book, it's all documented, where Chinese media admitted, well, you know, we did include cases of pneumonia and the flu with these other people.
	Yeah, all the flu just went away, you know?
	Yeah, the flu just disappeared.
	Yeah, because they were telling, I was being, you know, mercilessly, my social media presence grew on Facebook before the shadow ban, so people were responding to my posts.
	Before Substack, I was writing there all the time.
	Now I can't because nobody sees it, but that's what I write about this.
	But people were canceling me too, calling me dangerous.
	And I was basically talking constantly, still think it's just the flu.
	And then so when fall of 2020 came around, that's what I was supposed to say.
	Well, I guess it was just the flu.
	The flu's not here anymore.
	It completely disappeared. So what are you supposed to say?
	In Italy, they were saying thousands and thousands of people are dying.
	It's coming soon to a neighbor who turned near you.
	And thousands and thousands of people, and then quietly, again, Italian media reported, well, you know, 99% of these people were elderly and they died of other causes.
	Yeah. So, I mean, it was a lie from the beginning, and that's what I think differentiates my book from Naomi's book, The Bodies of Others, and Naomi wrote a nice blurb for this book, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s The Real Foul.
	These are all valuable. Peter McCullough's book, Alex Berenson's book, but none of them goes...
	I go down to the bottom of the rabbit holes, and I go right from the very beginning.
	I was dubious to this thing, and my thesis is that I think the evidence demonstrates that, that COVID-19, first of all, it's the 2019 version of the yearly coronavirus, that's what they call it.
	So, like, when I say many times, where's COVID-20?
	Where's COVID-21? Where's COVID-22?
	What happened to them? This destroys viral theory.
	So, they admit that CDC, the FDA, not a conspiracy theory.
	They tell you that they can't produce and isolate COVID-19.
	They can't.
	If they've isolated, they can't document it.
	It means they haven't proven it existed.
	Well, show me what this is.
	Otherwise, I'm going to assume that COVID-19 is, as the FDA said when they were developing the PCR vaccine, I've got the quotes in the book there.
	No isolates were available.
	So they simulated COVID-19 by using fragments of the regular coronavirus, which of course is what it is, the common cold.
	People from the very beginning...
	And I saw it in my family and friends.
	I saw it everywhere. The non-stop fear porn.
	And anybody that got a cold or got sick, I mean, these so-called symptoms of COVID are identical to a cold or flu.
	I mean, what do you have? A sore throat, congestion in your head, congestion in your chest, coughing.
	You know, sometimes you do lose your taste, your sensitive taste.
	This is cold. Yeah.
	Acting like this was something different.
	So, you know, this was, it was, people were frightened, and then what I said, David, many times, and of course, you know, I ended up losing my brother, and that's because it became personal for me, but there's all these people that I would like to know how many people died of COVID, who are called COVID, That's right.
	With a quote from RFK Jr.
	who says the CDC is not a government agency.
	It's a vaccine marketer or seller or something like that.
	And that was always the case.
	And they had played this game.
	To me, it was pretty obvious from the very beginning because they were playing the same game they did every year to try to harangue people into getting the flu shot.
	And yet the fear was being sold by everybody, not just the mainstream media.
	It's being sold by the alternative media.
	It's being sold by the people I worked with who knew this campaign, who knew about the fact that they would use this fear campaign to get people to take the flu vaccine.
	And I remember Mike Adams saying, look at this.
	And he's put up the CDC figures and said, look, more people are dying now from from COVID-19 than from heart disease and cancer.
	And it's like, seriously?
	You're going to put that up as if it's true?
	You know what's going on with the PCR test.
	I mean, Kerry Mullins, they waited until after he died or killed him or whatever to run this thing because he had opposed all this misuse of the PCR from the very beginning with HIV, with Fauci.
	And he died very conveniently, didn't he, right?
	At a very convenient moment.
	And I talk again about the history of this.
	This is not, you know, when you have, and it's very much like when people talk about Sandy Hook or any of those other things that I point out, they do these school drills constantly.
	They have these drills with crisis actors and fake blood and all that.
	That's what your taxes pay for.
	So they're doing this kind of crazy stuff.
	So it's a logical leap to a question that's supposed to be relevant.
	Same thing here. It started out with a drill.
	The Dark Winter. I know you've talked about that.
	Dark winter of, you know, in 2001, all the usual suspects are there, tabletop exercise.
	What if a pandemic, a deadly virus comes out of China?
	It's always out of China. And how do we develop a vaccine for it?
	And then they had six or seven other ones, and I've got the whole...
	You know, progression of them in the book.
	They're always the same suspect.
	World Economic Forum, Bill Gates, WHO, retired politicians playing actors in it.
	What we're going to do with it. CIA, Fauci, Johns Hopkins, all.
	Exactly. They're all there.
	They're all suspects that need to be into a lineup, you know.
	Yes, exactly. See, that's my thing about it.
	And that's why it's important for us to take a look And the history of all this and understand what happened, because I don't see anybody, the people who push this through are still heroes, you know, just like now, right?
	I can always be celebrating Donald Trump who did this COVID war to us, just like the Chinese celebrate Mao.
	Well, let's say, I mean, I put the four people on the cover, and I call them the Mount Rushmore of COVID, because they were the face of COVID. Trump, Biden, Fauci, and Gates.
	I mean, it's a lot more than that, but those individuals are front and center, constantly selling this thing.
	But if you look how deep this goes, David, it's like, we know, how many people know this That dark winter exercise, tabletop exercises, was precipitated.
	That was the first drill, talking about what was going to happen.
	So, was it an accident that Joe Biden, doddering around, started babbling about dark winter during his first winter in office?
	Yeah, I know. It's going to be a dark winter.
	I mean, why did he use that expression?
	Isn't that interesting? I mean, obviously he was told to, and then I think to do these things with people like us, people that are aware of it and awake of it, it's for our entertainment, I think.
	I don't know why else they would do it, but, you know, why would he say dark?
	But they do this kind of stuff all the time, and the last one, of course, was Agenda 201, which was, I think, in October of 2019, and that was, you know, the final preparations, I guess.
	for the dress rehearsal or whatever for it.
	And then right after that, it happens.
	And then you start hearing, you know, I've heard going back to the Hong Kong flu, you know, in the 1960s where they would put these things out there and you'd kind of maybe as a kid, you're maybe a little scared or something, but nothing ever happens.
	Ebola, we know Ebola has a deadly, much deadlier infection rate than whatever this supposedly had.
	But there was nobody was, nothing was ever closed down.
	The flu has killed as many as 80,000 people a year.
	Nothing was ever closed. In Dallas, you know, where they had that illegal immigrant come in with Ebola, and you had a couple of nurses almost die with that, but they survived, and the guy who got it died.
	But you had Clay Jenkins, who was the highest elected official there in Dallas County.
	I don't know if they call it Dallas County.
	Anyway, he was the mayor of that area.
	A judge, rather, is what they call it there in Texas.
	Clay Jenkins. And he went there and he drove the family to another place and said, see, there's nothing to worry about.
	All of you go to the football game this weekend.
	We've got lots of doctors and nurses and lots of hospitals.
	This is nothing to be worried about.
	And yet this is the guy who destroyed Shelly Luther, who had a hair salon because...
	Because she defied his order.
	He wanted to put her in jail.
	Besides destroying her business, the single mom who had the audacity to say, well, I'm going to cut here and take my chances.
	That's my right to do that.
	All those people who talk about women's rights and their right to choose and all this kind of stuff.
	And the first question out of our mouth ought to be, so what did you say about the masks and the lockdowns and the social distancing?
	Were you about individual choice at that point in time?
	Exactly. And you mentioned, you know, a little bit, just touched on immigration.
	And to me, that was, and I tried to point that early on.
	I said it in so many of my posts, is the southern border still open?
	And this, again, this started when Donald Trump was president.
	He talked so much about closing the border, doing, because he never did, of course.
	But here he had a perfect cover.
	I don't even think that anybody could have, you know, logically have opposed him.
	If you have a real pandemic, if this is really a deadly disease, another black plague, which they were trying to portray it as, First thing any country, no matter how corrupt they are, the first thing that we do is seal the borders and ban international travel.
	That didn't happen.
	The border stayed wide open, business as usual, politics as usual, and it got to the point where during the Biden administration, I'm sure you saw that press conference where Steve Ducey asked his press secretary, you know, why are people being required to have vaccine mandates to keep their jobs, but apparently nobody crossing through the border illegally from Mexico is required to have that.
	Is that correct? Yes, that's correct.
	So, how are we supposed to take this seriously?
	If you're letting people in, you're not vetting them.
	I mean, they could have leprosy, they could have anything.
	Nobody knows what, you know, you're supposed to have a vetting process.
	They weren't doing that, they never did that, and of course, I recounted the book, all the, we've all seen, all the stories where you see Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, John Kerry, the Cuomos, all of them caught out constantly the biggest Karens in the world, you know, warning against this stuff.
	You must wear your mask.
	All caught without their mask.
	All caught hugging. So they must not have feared anything.
	No, they didn't believe it. And we saw that as it was happening.
	And then I think the worst and the most egregious one of these things has been Matt Hancock in the UK. He was caught having this adulterous liaison while he was locking everybody else down.
	But now they've gotten his text messages where he and other people in the conservative party administration were laughing at people that they were forcing to quarantine in hotels and things like that, mocking them.
	And just rub it, you know, oh, this is great.
	Look at what I can do to these people.
	I mean, it was the most cynical, hypocritical power trip I've ever seen in my life to read this guy's texts with other members of the conservative party.
	And that was happening everywhere.
	We saw it quite a bit in California, but it was happening everywhere, in every country.
	And so that's the other part of this that was a real tell, I think, was the global nature of this.
	Yeah, that's why, you know, people, you know, I go on so many shows and, you know, weekly, some of the shows that I'm on weekly, they'll talk about, you know, World War III is right there, something happened in Ukraine, something happened in Russia, it's going to happen.
	And I always, you know, because I've heard these things before, and again, this is probably a year and a half we've been talking about this.
	Obviously, it hasn't been precipitated.
	And I wrote a thing back on Substack a while back saying, World War III is here.
	Mm-hmm.
	They didn't need a single troop.
	They didn't need a single cop.
	There's not a shot being fired, as the saying goes.
	I mean, you had Brazil and other countries that kind of balked a little bit.
	You had Africa, some countries where they didn't buy the vaccine thing, and those leaders died suspiciously.
	And I have all that in the book as well.
	There have been some people that look like they might have been knocked off because they were completely with the program.
	But that's the saddest thing.
	So this is a worldwide thing.
	And it's a world war of all the governments of the world at war with their own citizens.
	And that's what we're seeing. We're seeing certainly in America.
	When you look at...
	I was watching a thing the other day, a video, amazing video of one of the AOC's crazy thing.
	She gets lots of people to get up and shout at her about, you know, why are you supporting the war in Ukraine?
	And it's like... I don't know how Americans can watch it, and whether it's a school board or a thing like that or whatever, as soon as somebody hits up and shouts something about COVID or war or something that's conspiratorial in their minds, instantly the armed guards comes out, the cops come out, and it's so heavy-handed.
	I don't know what it was like in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany or Mao's China, but I can't imagine it was worse than that.
	How would they have reacted differently if a prosecutor went up and started yelling at Stalin?
	They might have shot him, maybe.
	Maybe we haven't done that yet, but if they did do that, I don't think Americans would protest it.
	That's the saddest thing.
	It's all happened, and people just were so enamored, and we talked about it with Memorial Day of War.
	Americans, just like the rest of the world, apparently they can't get enough of this authoritarianism.
	That's right. Love it. And they're not fighting back.
	In this country, we had, I think, one little protest was in Michigan, and they quickly shut it down.
	Oh, there's guns there. There's Confederate flags, and they demonized the people.
	It was not even a big thing.
	That was it. We haven't had another one since.
	The January 6th thing probably scared a lot of people, because those poor people are still in prison, being denied due process, and the ones that have been convicted are being convicted of Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	And, you know, and they're actually, you know, you can't write up, they were like, like, I remember there was a video of somebody where the cops just come up to the guy and I think he was in like a, you know, a shopping mall or something and says, do you have a reason to be here?
	They were doing this, like, what?
	Do you have a reason to ask me?
	Your identity papers, please.
	We're the occupying government here.
	That's what this is about, and it really does head to that.
	Where do we go from here?
	That's one of your chapter headings.
	Where do we go from here, Don?
	Well, that's, you know, as I said, the reason I, there were two parts to this book, well, there's two parts to the, the first part of the cover-up, obviously, is to build up this thing, which I think is imaginary, COVID-19, and I think it was born out of the regular coronavirus, the flu, Other ailments, other comorbidities, as they call it.
	They created this COVID-19 monster, lied about the numbers, kept trying to get people to think there were more people dying.
	Obviously, they weren't dying from this thing.
	And then the second part was to introduce a warp speed vaccine and then to lie about the people that were dying and being injured by the vaccine.
	So it's two parts of that.
	But as I put in the book, I don't...
	There's no good way to end a book like this.
	And I started out the book before the vaccine.
	I wrote a lot of it early just to keep track of what was going on in the lives.
	But I put it aside for a while.
	I think I wrote on Bar and Fame my book about entertainment during that time.
	But when my brother died in January 2022, it became personal for me.
	That's what I started realizing.
	I talked to other people. This was happening to lots of other families.
	The loved ones were dying because of the hospital protocol.
	They put them in there. They subject them to remdesivir and ventilators, even though you, in my case, in many other cases, we say, no, absolutely not.
	And you can't be there in person because they quarantine them.
	So people die, like my brother did, without us being able to see them.
	That's right. And we can't intervene and see what they're doing.
	And there's a reason for doing that.
	That really spurred me on and triggered, you know, I've got to finish...
	Dedicated the book to him and all this other people that died because of this, what I call the greatest psyop in the history of the world.
	And it's terrible because in my family and families like that, most of the rest of the people think he died of COVID. They think these people died of COVID and he was unvaccinated.
	That's why he died. It's my fault, basically, because he listened to me.
	But it's terrible because we don't even know what the numbers are there.
	So when I decided to write it, it was hard to finally get it to the publisher and say, okay, go with it.
	Because something's happening all the time.
	Just the other day, China, the fear porn never stops.
	The latest fear porn is that there's a new, deadliest strain of COVID coming out.
	We could have 65 million cases of it.
	So in the summer?
	Again, what does this say about your science?
	Viral theory is viruses burn out in the summer, but not this one.
	Yeah. Well, you know, you talk about it being a big psyop.
	I've said for the longest time, the only science involved in this is behavioral psychology, you know?
	Yeah. Because science is about skepticism.
	If you're going to shut down all skepticism and punish any critics, if you're going to cancel and purge I can't even believe that's something that can be done in America anymore.
	You know, the fact that you can purge somebody out of their profession because you don't like what they had to say and you don't want to debate them.
	You just purge them out. I mean, how authoritarian and Marxist is that?
	But if you're going to be doing that to people, you don't get to question the authority.
	I don't have to show you my data.
	I don't have to defend this.
	And there's going to be one and only one treatment, and that's the only thing that's going to be allowed.
	Well, we know there's no science in that.
	Absolutely not. And we've seen that game before from the climate people.
	If you're a denier, you need to be put in jail.
	If you're a denier, you need to be cancelled.
	And if you're a denier, we've got the science.
	Science is there. We've got...
	The most number of scientists who say this or that, they claim.
	But, you know, you just do what I say because we've got the people who have the big degrees who went to the famous universities and they tell you that it's like this and you're not allowed to question them and they don't have to give you any answers.
	You just do what they say and shut up and I'm not going to show you my data.
	I've been there. I've been with that for 15 years.
	That was another big tell. Yeah, and the language is very telling because, you know, it started with Holocaust denial.
	That was a very troubling term that they made up with, and people were thrown in all over the world for that.
	You should be able to question anything.
	I don't understand that, but they've used that, and that's such an emotional issue.
	They were successful with that, so they started saying, oh, climate change denial, election denial, and now COVID denial.
	So it's basically anything, if you're questioning any of their crimes and cover-ups, They're just going to call you a denier.
	And how far removed is that from what the Soviets supposedly did?
	We don't have a Siberia that they're sending us to, but we have FEMA camps.
	Maybe we'll be there. That's what they did there.
	They just said, well, you're mentally ill.
	I don't think they called them deniers, but maybe they called them party deniers.
	I don't know. It's a virgin to that, but that's what they're doing here.
	I remember the media constantly when they talk about certain candidates that are running, he's an election denier.
	Yeah. That's a nonsensical statement.
	What do you mean an election did? I don't think it's denying an election took place.
	They're claiming that fraud existed.
	Yeah. You're denying the government's narrative, right?
	And the government is God, and we all have faith in our God-verment.
	I called myself a climate infidel, you know, just so they don't know.
	I understand you're pushing a religion, and I'm not buying it.
	I'm an infidel to your climate change or to your COVID stuff as well.
	Yeah, exactly. Well, we have to question, and you're right, it's about being skeptical, but the people that are so-called press is only skeptical of us.
	They're skeptical of the skeptics, but this thing goes way, and as I go down the rabbit holes, and it's so many parallels to Orwell in 1984, and one of the biggest ones is this, and I talk about the 1918 flu in there.
	I don't think we've been told the truth.
	And I quote from an article in there about how, you know, apparently, you know, that thing was misrepresented as well.
	It may have been the result of a U.S. Army experiment in Kansas, an early vaccine experiment.
	And the soldiers took it into the trenches with them in World War I. But I have been troubled for a long time when these photographs started appearing of all these masks that were supposedly on 1918.
	I don't remember. I'm a big student of history, and it used to be conventional history before it started to I'm a big baseball fan, and especially old baseball.
	And a picture emerged of this guy, supposedly, I can't even identify him, batter in the 1918 World Series, wearing a mask at the plate.
	I had seen that photograph before in pictures, and batter was not wearing a mask.
	And no Major League Baseball player.
	Those were tough guys.
	They would not have worn masks.
	They probably would have tried to beat you up.
	So that's how deep we are.
	So I think somebody, at least that one picture, had to have been photoshopped.
	And how is any different from what Winston Smith's job was at the Ministry of Truth?
	He had to go back in history and clean things up like that.
	They didn't talk about it. But that's what he did.
	Let's put history in accord with the present alleged reality.
	And that's right. Well, I guess even from a logical standpoint, one might say, well, if you're telling us that 1918 was the worst pandemic we've ever seen, then I guess the mask didn't work.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's the case. It went with your own narrative there.
	I went back and I looked at it and I said, okay, so you're saying this is like 1918.
	I remember going back and looking at the deaths by age groups, right?
	And in 1918, you know, when they had this epidemic, so many people dying.
	They had people, you know, they had two spikes, those over 80 years old and those under one year old, right?
	Yes. And then everybody else is basically the same.
	You know, every decade.
	That wasn't what we saw with this stuff coming out of COVID. That was another tell for me.
	The fact that it went up exponentially with age.
	I said, that's the actuarial table.
	They're showing you the actuarial table.
	This is not a pandemic.
	This is the actuarial. Newsflash, we're more likely to die the older we get.
	Exactly. One of the first things I wrote about was in April 2020, the CDT issued a directive.
	Again, this is not a conspiracy theory.
	This is the CDT. One of the producers of this narrative, of this production, issued a statement, a directive to all hospitals to list the cause of death as COVID-19, even when the patient hadn't been tested.
	Now, that's not science.
	It sure looks conspiratorial to me.
	And when you combine that with the other things, I had Dr.
	Scott Jensen, one of the many doctors I had, and he was so mad when he got something from the AMA I think during the summer of 2020, that again said basically the same thing.
	He said, I've been practicing medicine for 35 years or whatever, and this is ridiculous.
	You're telling me what I'm supposed to list the cause of death on in patients I haven't even examined?
	I don't even know about yet.
	And that's what they were doing. And the families would go along with it.
	They had a death benefit if it was COVID-19.
	But if you didn't go along with it, you wouldn't get that cash.
	That's all right. All right. We'll agree to it.
	And then another big thing that happened was in August.
	We had the American Hospital Association go public criticizing CMS, the Medicare, Medicaid people, giving them all this money.
	And they said, wait a minute, you're saying that you're not going to give us the bonus for finding COVID patients if we don't have the test?
	You told us at the beginning of this that you didn't have the test and they didn't work anyway.
	And you're supposed to give us, you told us to do a clinical diagnosis and you'd give us $13,000.
	Pay up! There it is, right there.
	That's all you need to know. That was August of 2020 that they were doing that.
	August of 2020. That was a year before all the stuff about the vaccine mandates and all that kind of stuff were coming out.
	It's amazing. Yeah, and we need to not forget, and that's why, again, I think what distinguishes my book from any book that's been written, and surely any book that will be written, probably, that has any kind of...
	It's the fact that I go down these rabbit holes.
	So I talk about the empty hospitals.
	I talk about the dancing nurses.
	They're part of this thing.
	And you can't look at that.
	I worked in a hospital for many years when I was young.
	And it's incomprehensible to me how even in the slowest time period, you would have a bunch of nurses coming up with a choreographed number and dancing in the facility with apparently patients in the background.
	I know.
	And that's what we saw.
	And they were not only not questioned, a bunch of them appeared on Today Show where they're Katie Kirk types are saying, oh, hi, guys.
	You know, you're basically thinking they were heroes or something.
	It's like, that doesn't make any sense, especially when you're telling me that your patients are coming out the doors.
	And I had Jason Goodman.
	And then later I had Citizen Richard, who was even more extreme about going to these places and knowing what was really going on.
	And he would confront the people inside.
	He'd start yelling, where are all the COVID patients?
	Where are they? And they'd just call the police and throw them out.
	I remember a video out of Brazil where they had the mask on, and you think it's going to be one of these dancing things.
	But there's all these nurses around there, and one of them goes over and one by one pulls back all of the curtains and shows that there's not anybody at all in the ward.
	But the key thing that was amazing about all these dancing videos were how professionally choreographed they were.
	I mean, they had drone shots.
	They had precision dancing.
	I mean, these were not amateur dancers, and they were not amateur photographers and videographers either.
	This was highly professional.
	They had dolly shots, dolly going across, dolly going in.
	They had aerial shots with drones and all the rest of the stuff.
	It was big production values.
	Don't tell me that these people...
	And at the same time, at the very beginning of this, the fear was, they said, look at these crowded Chinese hospitals.
	I said, I've been in China. Everything is crowded.
	The Walmart is like that.
	The train station is like that.
	The sidewalks are like that.
	I can certainly imagine the hospitals would be like that.
	But, you know, you're supposed to believe that there's no room and everybody is filled up.
	I thought it was amazing that they set up that big tent in New York.
	And they never used it.
	You know, 2,500-bed hospital that the Army set up, never used it.
	Franklin Graham never used it.
	They just quietly folded up the tent and went away, and it's like, come on, Franklin, why don't you talk about that, you know?
	And then the hospital ship there in New York City, the hospital ship in California, they took them away because nobody was using them.
	It's like, why can't people?
	And that was all at the very beginning of this stuff.
	While Trump was still president.
	And I think that's the key thing.
	You know, Biden couldn't have gotten away with what Trump did.
	Hillary couldn't have gotten away with what Trump did.
	You had to have somebody like Trump who had, for years, hammered in this persona that he's against the globalist and then joined with him.
	Absolutely. Trump didn't even tweet about anything like that or questioning that because he was questioning.
	He would usually do that in his tweets.
	He'd give the perspective that most people think he actually has, which he doesn't, but that's his tweeting personality, which is a lot of times pretty great, but it just doesn't translate into policy.
	This is important.
	From the very beginning, you had, for instance, in Italy, you had this dishonesty where they had that question.
	A photo of the coffins.
	A row of coffins that came out of Italy and, oh, look what's happening there.
	Well, it was proven, again, by anybody in the media, online journalists, proved that, well, this photo's like from 10 years before in another part of the world.
	It has nothing to do with it. They didn't apologize.
	And then you had it in New York.
	They ran a video of a just incredible strained ICU unit.
	Well, no, actually, that was supposedly from Italy a while back.
	They don't apologize. And then I talk about how there was a...
	This is why people develop these theories.
	I mean, not only have the dancing nerds, as you said, look very choreographed, almost as if it was some kind of acting.
	And then you have somebody like Dr.
	Colleen Smith, who I tried to contact.
	She actually has an email. Of course, I'm not surprised she didn't answer me.
	But she did a video which violated all HIPAA regulations, where she went inside an ICU unit and was filming.
	And basically, she was talking about where are all the ventilators and criticizing Trump, if you remember it.
	We need more ventilators so we can kill people, I guess.
	And she was constantly talking about that and violating HIPAA regulations, how crazy it was there.
	You look into her background, they claim that she was a specialist in medical simulation.
	What is that? How does that not evoke Sandy Hookish type stuff?
	What is medical simulation?
	And you're in the middle of this?
	And so that's the kind of thing in these same hospitals that were the local media and national media would say they're overflowing.
	It's a madhouse there. Jason Goodman, Citizen Richard, people like that.
	Other people would go and film them.
	It looked like a ghost town.
	And then you had the refrigerated trucks.
	Oh, there's got so many bodies.
	We have these refrigerated trucks.
	Again, the citizen journalists.
	They were burying people in Central Park, we were told.
	Why don't we see the graves?
	Why don't we, on the anniversary of this, why doesn't Trump and Biden go there to say, you know, this could have been all of you if I hadn't done this stuff.
	Go to the grave sites on Memorial Day and show us where the bodies are buried in Central Park, the mass graves that you had there.
	Come on. It's so phony.
	And you know, one of the things, Don, about this, going back to Trump, and the things that he would say...
	It was a key thing that you see happening from intelligence agencies all the time.
	You put the truth out there in order to discredit it.
	So he would say stuff about hydroxychloroquine, and then he would say, oh, and then maybe we can inject, I don't know, you know, and maybe we could inject sunlight into our veins or something like that.
	I mean, it was such a, you know, he was the set-up comedian for Fauci's straight man who could come out and say, Donald, Donald, you just don't understand.
	It's science. You wouldn't understand science.
	Trust me, everybody. I mean, it was like Abbott and Costello.
	It was ridiculous what they were doing.
	And I go over Trump's entire history here, so people that like Trump are not going to be happy.
	But it sets out Trump was, just like in every other arena, he was the designated false opposition.
	He was the one who was dubious about it all.
	You know, he's criticizing stuff, but he's the one who's getting it done because he's president.
	He's the one signing the orders and everything.
	And then when he gets, you mentioned that, Dr.
	Clark, he very notably talked about how he had been taking it and it worked and all that.
	He had all the people in the alt world, oh, man.
	So then Trump gets COVID, which I don't for a second believe he had COVID-19.
	It's a big production he's supposed to see.
	It happened to Trump, but the lesson was he wasn't wearing his mask.
	He wasn't taking it seriously. So he goes in there, and so again, the people I remember hearing, oh yeah, just watch.
	When Trump comes out, I bet you took hydroxychloroquine.
	So they think he's going to Promote that.
	No, he gets out. He throws him a curveball again.
	I took Regeneron, you know, which he has financial interest in, along with his buddy Anthony Fauci.
	So, and again, I don't think he even had anything, but The entire thing was just one lie upon another.
	And there was nobody really, except for people like us, who were questioning the platforms we had.
	No, the RFK Jr. became really good, mostly on the vaccine.
	But even people like that, none of them until what I'm doing here really questioned COVID itself.
	That's really in the conspiracy world.
	And of course, the Republicans all just took a...
	We're not going to criticize Trump.
	They just took a dive in this WWE wrestling thing worldwide.
	They just take a dive and it's like, I'm not saying anything.
	About six months after...
	Uh, he leaves office and, uh, you know, we're looking at the coming mandates from Biden at that point, you know, they started coming back and they started saying, well, I don't, you know, I've got some questions about this or what, but they would not say anything while it was a Trump there.
	It was that, that part of it was a real tell as well.
	Uh, but you're right. You know, they, they were pushing the things that they had, um, you know, remdesivir, uh, all the rest of this stuff, pushing the ventilator.
	I remember Peter Navarro just scoriating a GM because they didn't Shut down their assembly lines and make more ventilators for them quickly enough.
	It was such a clownish thing from the very beginning.
	Yeah, and that's the saddest part.
	And this is why this is anything.
	I talked about nobody standing up for peace.
	My friend Sidney Sheehan does.
	Naomi Wolf, good people on the left.
	Cynthia McKinney, these are people I'm going to start a leftist political party with one day.
	The few honest people left, there aren't many of us.
	But, you know, nobody from the beginning, Tucker Carlson became very good in his coverage later, but he was on board at first.
	Nobody, except for people like us, nobody questioned this thing.
	Nobody talked about what was really happening in China.
	Nobody talked about what was really happening in Italy.
	Nobody talked about the lying numbers of directors of the hospitals and the other things we saw.
	I mean, I saw so many of the celebrities that You know, they were like John Prine, one of my favorite singers.
	He didn't have COVID. He had cancer and everything else.
	And I looked it up and he was admitted to the hospital with COVID-like symptoms, which again, flu-like symptoms, cold symptoms.
	Just replace the word.
	But you get to the point where they do things like make up this fear of porn, the prisoners at Rikers Island are buried.
	They've always done that for Potter's Field.
	That was nothing different at all.
	But that's the kind of thing that it doesn't matter that you have video evidence of a hospital that's empty and set up that has not had a single patient.
	You'll talk to disinterested EMT workers and their videos out there smoking cigarettes and kind of laughing when you mentioned COVID.
	These people did that.
	These are people right in the middle of the first responders, right?
	You were talking about Trump and how he allegedly got COVID and all the rest of this stuff.
	Do you remember, at the very beginning of this stuff, they had CPAC convention.
	And I think it was like, you know, they kick off the executive order around March or something like that.
	And it was in March or April that they had CPAC. And then they said, well, we did a test and there's a couple of people who had tested positive with our PCR test at 40 cycles.
	And... So they were at CPAC. And so now, you know, all of these conservatives are going to die.
	And they were literally dancing on their graves.
	And I said, well, we'll see about that.
	And nothing ever happened.
	And none of these phony conservatives at CPAC who suck up to Trump ever said anything about the fact that they didn't die.
	They didn't even get sick.
	You know, that along with all this stuff that was happening in New York and California, you know, the phony hospital stuff and the phony army hospital things and the ships and all the rest of the stuff.
	And then, of course, you know, there was the Diamond Princess in Japan.
	And I said, well, this is a good case.
	Look at how few people actually got sick, and look at how few people actually died.
	And they were very elderly, and they had a lot of comorbidities, and it was under harsh conditions, and yet you had this fear porn.
	And this guy said, I was in the heart of the Ebola pandemic, and I've never been more afraid than when I was on this ship because it's got such poor isolation things.
	Everybody is exposed to everything else.
	It's like, okay. And look at how few people got sick and how few people died.
	You know, they reported something like a dozen people out of 4,000 or 5,000 people, and it was under those harsh conditions that they had for quite a while.
	And then we saw it happen with a ship, a naval ship, where they were all young and fit.
	Nobody died, but that guy took it to port.
	You know, he said, well, we had a COVID taste.
	I'm going to take this ship to port.
	Yeah, well, and so what it winds up doing is when you introduce the vaccine part, Trump's still claiming credit for it, even though almost all its supporters are dubious about it.
	And you have the death rate.
	It's really one of the most, I think, one of the biggest stories in the history of humanity.
	When the insurance industry starts complaining that the death rate went up 40% in 2021, people in the industry will tell you, if it went up 5%, it would be unprecedented.
	40% is earth-shattering.
	It's unexplainable. Even if you take all the phony numbers, the ridiculous, contrived COVID numbers, even if you accepted all that nonsense, that all the people falling off roots and stuff were actually COVID, and they did put in the number, it still would be a drop in the bucket.
	It would be a fraction of a 40% death increase.
	But we know it's there.
	As Dr. Peter McCullough said on my show, there's only one thing that's been introduced.
	It's different. And that's the vaccine.
	So now you're left with children with myocarditis, who we never even heard of before.
	They have little kids. They have crash carts in elementary schools.
	Parents are being told this is normal.
	You can have a heart attack.
	Obviously. So it's the lie has transitioned into that.
	And the people that bought the first lie, even though they've had, I know people that have, you know, eight shots.
	They're still getting so-called COVID. You try to talk to them.
	If you talk about faith...
	Well, it's harder to tell somebody that they've been fooled than it is to fool somebody, isn't it?
	You know, that's the old adage.
	But, you know, when you look at this...
	Truly is amazing what they have been able to pull on people, and it is truly amazing how difficult it is to pull this thing back.
	And that's why, you know, the book that you wrote, Masking the Truth, How COVID-19 Destroyed Civil Liberties and Shut Down the World, that's very important.
	We cannot let them just walk away from what they did.
	There has to be an understanding of this.
	There has to be a remembrance of what they have done.
	We need to have a Memorial Day holiday for the people that were just killed in this war that we all just went through.
	A very cynical move for power by every political party, regardless of what their stated philosophy is or who is there.
	It's one of the most, you know, and of course they're not done.
	You know, they're going to be ramping this up.
	And so that's why it's important for us to dismantle this.
	I think we've got some momentum on our side.
	But it's something that we've got to double down.
	People need to educate themselves about it.
	That's why this book is good.
	Masking the Truth, Donald Jeffries.
	Get the information so that you are armed with this.
	Be skeptical of the government.
	That is the key thing coming out of all this.
	Understand they've got a different agenda.
	They don't think like you.
	It's hard to think like a psychopath, like a sociopath, like a mass murder, and that's what these people are.
	See? You've got to hold them at arm's length and hold them accountable and know what they did to you.
	Thank you, Don. It's great talking to you.
	Thanks for having me, David. I appreciate it.
	Thank you. All right, we're going to be ending the program here in just a moment, but I wanted to respond to some of the statements that people made here.
	On Rockfin, Gard Goldsmith.
	Hey, Gard, good to see you. Thank you for the tip, by the way.
	That's really nice. He said, thank you both, David and Don, for your work.
	You're fantastic sources of inspiration for many.
	Well, thank you. So are you, Gard.
	And on Rockfin, Andromeda.
	Thank you very much, Andromeda One.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. You know, I talked to an accountant who had written a book last week.
	And he was talking about going back and auditing the election.
	And how he said, you know, this isn't just about going back and getting the ballots, but it's about setting up systems and auditing systems and all of this.
	And it truly is the issue here.
	And now there is a group of CPAs who have come up with a program.
	They want to use the states to secure elections using accounting techniques.
	A small, loose-knit group of CPAs hopes to convince states to apply the same methods that accountants use to assure integrity in business in order to bolster voter confidence in elections.
	Now, this ought to be front and center of both parties, don't you think?
	Don't you think they would want everybody to believe that the elections are honest?
	Don't you think that they would follow these recommendations and guidelines?
	I mean, this is something that is above how we vote and how we count the votes and things like that, in a sense.
	I mean, this is not about machine versus paper, one voting company versus another one, or ballot harvesting, or other things like that.
	Some of it would involve some of those techniques.
	But it is about this at a higher level.
	What kind of checks and balances do we have?
	Systematic thing. To give people confidence in it, it's more than just math, they said.
	Systems to show how to avoid fraud.
	The main function of a CPA is to do two things.
	One, to tell people what happened in the past.
	And to do so, they design systems that can be revived in a manner that can guarantee that they are impartial.
	It can guarantee that the results are proper, which allows, for example, banks to have confidence in financial statements that a CPA prepares.
	Right? You can design internal systems.
	Well, let me tell you why they're not doing this.
	Because both Republicans and Democrats want to have the ability to hack the elections.
	And now we're at the point where both the Republicans and the Democrats don't just want to hack the election.
	But they want to destroy confidence in the integrity of the system.
	Because they want a civil war.
	That is what this is ultimately about.
	And this is one of the reasons why I so adamantly oppose Trump.
	Because of his role in creating this civil war.
	Regardless of which way it goes.
	It's going to be, but of course he says that he can out-cheat the other side.
	Well, thank you for joining us.
	That's the end of our program today. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
	If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
	Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
	People have to trust me.
	I mean, trust the science.
	Wear your mask.
	Take your vaccine.
	Don't ask questions.
	Using free speech to free minds.
