	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 12th of June, year of our Lord, 2023.
	2023.
	Well today, we've got a lot of different topics to cover.
	From the election, to artificial intelligence, to UFOs.
	You know, whether these things are true or not, and the election may just be as much of a mirage as any of these, they still represent a significant danger to us.
	All of them. Especially artificial intelligence.
	And we're going to begin with that today.
	And then we will get into the Trump mess, as everybody wants to hear about that.
	We're going to start with artificial intelligence.
	We'll be right back. It
	never ceases to amaze me how much more concerned people are about Biden's attacks on Trump Than they are about the Biden and Justice Department and the entire Biden administration's attacks on us.
	Trying to set us up.
	Yes, they had Russiagate and it was ridiculous.
	And we'll talk about the Trump indictment.
	But when it comes to us, we don't really care.
	We live vicariously through Trump.
	And we live passively through Trump.
	Or whoever, fill in your favorite hero, savior, messiah, whatever it is, right?
	And everything is about them.
	Just like we get so obsessed about movie stars or celebrities or recording artists.
	Oh, they died? You never met this person in your life.
	But you have a connection to them.
	And many times we have a deeper connection to these things that we see on the internet than we do to the actual people around us.
	Which is a real harbinger of the problem coming with artificial intelligence, I think.
	So let's begin with a threat to us, from the Biden administration, but also from the Trump administration.
	It's a program called Night Fury.
	I had this on my list, but I appreciate a listener who sent me another reminder to cover this.
	This is a report from Vice.
	And this is the Night Fury is their name for this internal thing, but it's N-I-G-H-T. They could spell it with a K because they do a lot of the same stuff to me.
	But they do it to everybody.
	That's the key thing. Documents detail the DHS project to give risk scores to social media users.
	This is something I've been talking about for a very long time.
	I've said from the very beginning that The internet, in particular, was a bed for setting us up, essentially, in a kind of a pre-crime world.
	Geospatial intelligence, the internet, and the intelligence community was behind the creation of the internet.
	If you look at who was funding the venture capital firms that were funding the companies that created it, and it really is a net.
	Annette for each and every one of us.
	You know, over the weekend, we watched the George Foreman story.
	Great movie, actually.
	There's been a couple of good films come out by Christian companies that are not amateur at all.
	They're much better than anything else that's coming out.
	Great stories, true stories.
	The Jesus Revolution was an interesting one.
	I like the George Foreman story even better.
	Uh, I didn't know his story.
	I'm not a boxing fan.
	And, uh, but you know, the name was there all the time.
	The Foreman, George Foreman grill and all the rest of the stuff and the rumble in the jungle.
	I could not help but hearing all that stuff.
	Uh, when I lived through it, it was everywhere.
	Everybody was talking about it, but I wasn't interested in watching any of it.
	Well, what an interesting story it was.
	And of course you all hear the rope-a-dope and, uh, it was interesting strategy that Muhammad Ali did.
	It's basically, you know, protecting his head, taking the body blows, and going up against the rope until Foreman was just all punched out.
	And then he came in for the strike.
	You know, I've referred many times to, I understood the analogy, you know, that you're just kind of passively doing this and luring somebody in.
	That's how it worked. That's what the internet has been.
	I've used that phrase to describe the internet for a long time.
	It's interesting to watch This actually play out, you know, like watching an enactment of a red herring where they drag the smelly fish over the trail of the fox to throw the hounds off, the people who didn't like the fox hunting games in the UK. And so this is basically, in my opinion, the entire internet has been a rope-a-dope.
	Yeah, everything's all free.
	Well, who paid for it?
	Who set this all up? Who funded these companies?
	How did they operate for years and years and years with nothing there?
	Yeah, they got happy stories on Wall Street.
	And Wall Street gave them a lot of funding.
	But it began with venture capital.
	They had to get started before they could give a nice story to Wall Street.
	Where did the venture capital come from?
	Well, if you look at it, these venture capital firms filled.
	With people from the CIA and the NSA, the CIA even came out publicly with its own venture capital firm to pick the people who are going to compete with each other.
	They didn't compete with each other.
	They wanted them, may the best platform win, so we can then go in and scrape all this information and watch everything that you're doing.
	The Department of Homeland Security contracted the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2018 to design methods for assigning a risk score.
	To potential pro-terrorist accounts on social media, as well as identifying information of interest regarding illegal opioid supply chains and disinformation efforts.
	It was always about speech.
	They'll always lead off with, oh, terrorists and drug cartels.
	Yeah, right. It's about us.
	You know, just like when they tell you, we've got to tax these billionaires.
	Come on, let's do a new thing.
	We're going to do a new kind of tax.
	Well, you know who's going to wind up paying that tax?
	The middle class. You know who's going to wind up paying the price for this kind of surveillance?
	You and I talking on social media.
	Or even if we don't talk on social media.
	So, internal DHS documents reviewed by Motherboard.
	The project was called Night Fury.
	And again, that's not with a K. But it might as well be.
	According to a report from the DHS Inspector General.
	And so this program, this project, is going to have a ranking, a risk score.
	They would have tools to automate the identification of these people of interest.
	As Michael Hayden slyly said, we're only interested in interesting people.
	Well, how do you identify these interesting people?
	Well, you're going to automate this.
	You're going to automate it.
	For the longest time when I talk about geospatial intelligence, and again, it's going through this phase since the late 1990s, it is the agency that nobody likes to talk about.
	The NSA used to be that way.
	For several decades, nobody talked about the NSA. The joke was, it stood for no such agency.
	I knew a guy when I was, my first job at Texas Instruments.
	He was an older guy, and he had retired from the NSA and went to work for Texas Instruments.
	And he, I said, you know, so where are you coming from?
	And I said, what's that?
	I'd never heard of it. Well, we just say it stands for no such agency, and that was not just him saying that.
	Everybody would say that. But anyway, they find a way that they want to automate this process to identify you as a criminal.
	Before you do anything wrong, of course.
	This is pre-crime.
	This is minority report.
	But it's also something that is not simply in the movies.
	They actually have a term for this.
	If you go through the, you know, geospatial intelligence presentations and stuff like this, they actually have, they don't call it pre-crime.
	They don't refer to the minority report, but they do call it anticipatory intelligence.
	We're going to anticipate you doing something and then act on it.
	And notice that the initials of that are AI. And it's going to be AI that allows them to do the anticipatory intelligence.
	So, the contractor shall develop tools to automate the identification process, documenting performance measures and metrics related to automating the identification process.
	So, the news signals DHS's continued focus on analyzing social media for a variety of purposes, says Weiss.
	Well, of course, that's it. You know, the idea that you would put all your information, voluntarily put all your information out there.
	As you go back and you look at how this has evolved, it truly is amazing to me.
	You know, before all this stuff began, before social media began, they prepared everybody, in my opinion.
	It was preparatory.
	Have Big Brother, you know, the reality TV shows.
	What's the matter with these people?
	This is a creepy combination of voyeurism and exhibitionism.
	These people live in this house and everything that they did would be recorded.
	And they put a bunch of strangers together and all the rest of this stuff.
	And a lot of things that you normal people would not want to have made public.
	But these people became celebrities.
	And as everybody's watching this...
	The younger generation starts to realize, hey, if I put my life up on the internet, maybe I could become a celebrity.
	Maybe I could get a lot of followers.
	Maybe I could value my esteem in the eyes of others by how many followers I have on social media.
	What can I do to get them to follow me?
	And they were preparing everybody for this social media thing.
	Anyway, the use of automated processes to analyze social media to determine the likelihood that someone is pro-terrorist and to assign a risk score to individuals and groups online has echoes of a discredited Trump administration proposal called the Extreme Vetting Initiative.
	Oh. So, they've got an app for January the 6th already inside the Trump administration, right?
	Because one of the aspects of this is the geofencing around a particular area to identify people.
	But also to identify people prior to that, and then even after that, but prior to anything.
	And to identify these people, well, you may be a threat to us simply because you were in Washington, or you were in Maryland, or you were in Virginia.
	As Bank of America turned over records to the FBI voluntarily of anybody who had had a transaction there.
	And then the FBI went through and analyzed their political beliefs to see if, well, this is a Trump supporter.
	You see, that's how this works.
	How did they know that they were a Trump supporter?
	Easy! They've got you identified by your political beliefs, your religious beliefs, that you have expressed on social media.
	It was very easy for them to do a cross-reference with that.
	And then, of course, they also looked at people who had guns registered in their names, if they were there.
	So, gun registered in your name, you're a conservative Trump supporter, and you're in that area?
	Oh, well, you're guilty.
	We'll put you on the list as well.
	As a number of experts in machine learning and automated decision-making told, DHS, less than a year before the Night Fury contract was signed, attempting to make automated judgments about these matters is both impossible and likely to be infected with bias.
	Well, there you go. Bring in artificial intelligence, which is programmed with a bias in it.
	They pay people minimum wage to program their bias in it.
	As these characteristics have no concrete definition, Much as there is no definition of being a pro-terrorist.
	Well, we don't have any definition of an assault weapon, do we?
	Well, we've got to ban assault weapons.
	Well, what are you even talking about?
	Well, we'll let you know.
	And then eventually they do provide a specific list of individual guns, just like they will eventually provide a specific list of individuals that they think are dangerous.
	And this is the dangerous idea.
	More specifically, says Weiss, the project planned to develop methods that could identify a location without even using GPS metadata, such as looking for certain keywords.
	The researcher also planned to attack to track threats through mainstream social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and other communities.
	DHS planned to test the methods against live events unfolding in real time.
	This was all prepared before January the 6th.
	And then you had Trump and other people who made a lot of money playing on the sympathies of people and their frustration about a rigged election to push them into this trap.
	So, as this is all happening, of course, you know, they said one of the events would be something like a hurricane scenario.
	A hurricane scenario?
	They're worried about terrorists during a hurricane?
	They don't have to blow things up.
	The hurricane does that for them.
	What is that about?
	Such as a hurricane scenario.
	Yeah, you're worried about the terrorists during a hurricane.
	Okay. Well, I think maybe, was that crossfire hurricane?
	You know, code word for Russiagate that FBI was coming after Trump with?
	Crossfire hurricane? That hurricane?
	The hurricane that Trump did absolutely nothing to stop or to reform.
	He just passively sat there and did nothing.
	And then, of course, his administration put together this next stage of the rope-a-dope for all of his supporters.
	And so this was sent to me by United Information Workers, sent to the account, said that as you read this, Keep the Milgram experiment in mind, given protections most people would willfully commit atrocities against other people that they have power over.
	Why DHS would need to pre-crime lawful citizens is itself a mystery.
	Reads like a playbook from Hoover's FBI. These agencies are, at this stage, unquestionably rogue.
	And silence is being complicit, they say.
	Well, absolutely right. But of course, we've had this type of thing operating a long time.
	They're just making it more technological, which allows them to do it faster and to a greater extent.
	Whether it's accurate or not, they don't care.
	You know, arrest everybody.
	We'll figure it out later. That's one of the things that they said to Adrian Schoolcraft, the honest cop who blew the whistle on what the New York Police Department was doing.
	He said, yeah, it's going to be, a lot of stuff's going to be happening on Halloween.
	We need to have a lot of arrests.
	So, you know, just go out and grab somebody, bring them in.
	We'll figure out what to charge them with later.
	He recorded them saying that.
	And they took him, eventually they took him and secretly took him away and put him in an insane asylum.
	His father, who was also a cop, a retired cop, however, found him.
	That's a great story.
	But yeah, some comments here.
	Mr. VRA on Rumble.
	The data center is a new race to build our digital prison, the big con game, funding from a certain agency whose budget was kept secret.
	Aaron Moss, nobody does extreme vetting initiatives better than me.
	In DK's Trump voice, yeah.
	It's totally great. I'm winning.
	We're vetting everybody here.
	I love vets, right?
	I put them in jail.
	Hurricanes are prime excuses to go after guns.
	Look at Katrina, says my son.
	Yeah, that's right. Maybe the hurricane was caused by extremists with weaponized SUVs.
	I'm sure it was. I'm sure it was.
	Every bit of weather is caused by your SUV. You didn't know that, did you?
	Yeah. Mark Twain said, everybody talks about the weather, nobody does anything about it.
	Well, he had obviously never met one of these environmentalists.
	They think they can do something about it.
	They can do something about your SUV is what they can do.
	But anyway, no, I was going to say this is this extreme vetting, this anticipatory intelligence using artificial intelligence.
	Artificial pre-crime.
	That's what this is.
	Well, this is not really anything new.
	It's just new technologically because the Southern Poverty Law Center has been doing this for a very long time and making lots of money.
	They have several hundred million dollars, no exaggeration.
	This has been reported by the mainstream media.
	Several hundred million dollars in offshore bank accounts.
	Even the left, when they vet various charities, they said, this is not a good charity to give money to.
	Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't really do much, but they do raise a lot of money.
	Well, what they do is they provide plausible deniability for the FBI and other government agencies to say, well, we're not coming after you because we don't like your politics.
	We're coming after you because Southern Poverty Law Center said you're an extremist.
	So now they've got artificial intelligence to do that for them.
	So I'm very concerned that the Southern Poverty Law Center just might lose their money.
	You know, who needs the Southern Poverty Law Center when you've got AI and anticipatory intelligence?
	Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody smears food on works of art to fix it.
	Yeah, Rhonda Tate.
	Hi, Rhonda. Data centers are going to be vital in the plan.
	Yeah, they are. They are.
	And we don't really care how much energy they use, do we?
	We care about every single crypto transaction, and they've got to be stopped because they just use too much energy resources.
	But not the data centers.
	Not the big artificial intelligence, you know, deep thought things that are going to put the finger on you.
	No, no, no. That's all fine.
	Every activity is fine that happens on the internet, except for crypto.
	They're not concerned about people watching movies either.
	Why? Because that takes you out of the real world, right?
	So they're not worried about everybody streaming movies and all the power consumption of that either.
	No, they don't care. Southern Poverty Law Center, however, is massively over-counting hate groups.
	And this is from Reason Magazine.
	And it's not just hate groups like Moms for Liberty.
	Moms for Liberty, people who have the audacity to show up at a school board and speak out.
	Yeah, you're a terrorist. Southern Poverty Law Center thinks so.
	The Department of Justice thinks so.
	The FBI thinks so.
	Because they hate you.
	You're a hate group because they hate you.
	You're guilty of hate speech because they hate what you're saying.
	Southern Poverty Law Center is a notorious hate map Might eventually describe everybody as being an extremist, says Reason.
	They released their yearly report on the number of hate groups in the U.S., a number that is always rising, thanks to the watchdog organization's characteristically clever counting.
	By adding Moms for Liberty, a conservative group organization that has little resemblance to neo-Nazi groups at the Southern Poverty Law Center, has historically tracked, this new 2022 report manages to set a new record.
	Well, I've been on their list since 2013.
	I did a thing on them, Prophets of Hate, talking about, you know, they are prophesying that you're going to become a terrorist or whatever.
	But they're actually, you know, it's not P-R-O-P-H-E-T-S. It's P-R-O-F-I-T-S, as in cash.
	They made a lot of money selling hate.
	Even so, the Southern Poverty Law Center hit a snag in 2020.
	The overall number of hate groups in the U.S. appeared to decrease slightly.
	But these findings would strike most people as good news, but they cut against the SPLC's long documented goal of raising money by inspiring concern about rising levels of hate.
	So they got creative.
	The 2021 map includes not just the 733 hate groups, but also 488 anti-government groups.
	So if you don't like something that the government's doing and you speak out about it, isn't that protected in the Constitution?
	The right to redress your grievances with the government?
	No, no. You've got a grievance?
	Well, you're a terrorist, says the Southern Property Law Center.
	Center.
	Here's the example.
	Moms for Liberty made the 2022 report.
	Of course, this is the most recent one.
	It's an organization that rallies right-wing parents who disagree with the curriculum and COVID-19 policies of public schools.
	They describe themselves by saying, we are a group of moms and dads and grandparents and aunts and uncles, community members that are very concerned about the direction of the country.
	Okay.
	The Southern Poverty Law Center defends its description of Moms for Liberty as an extremist group by citing several members who have made violent threats against teachers and the LGBT community.
	And again, they overlook that when it's something that is said in the heat of anger by the left, right?
	And then they also cite statements like this one.
	I raise my children.
	The government does not.
	We do not co-parent with the government.
	And there are certain sensitive subjects that we should like to be directing the conversation around for our children.
	Parents are very concerned about this idea about gender identity that was never discussed in our public schools.
	And it is now taking a front row seat in our children's education.
	And it is affecting everything that they do, including...
	For many of our girls, how safe they feel in the bathrooms at their school.
	That statement I just read to you was listed in the Southern Poverty Law Center hate report as being evidence that Moms for Liberty is a hate group.
	They don't like the idea that the government wants to raise your kids.
	Right? This idea that keeps getting repeated to us over and over again.
	We had Melissa Harris Perry years ago, an MSNBC public service announcement.
	Did a little 32nd spot that they played over and over again.
	We got to get over this idea that children belong to their parents.
	They don't. They belong to all of us.
	Or Hillary Clinton's.
	It takes a village. And of course, that is up on the top of Build-A-Bear.
	It takes a village to build a bear.
	Right? Yeah, that should tell you something about that.
	Anyway, I noticed that when my daughter wanted to get one of these things, it's like, whoa, wait a minute.
	Yeah, we took her to get it when we first adopted her.
	We took her in there and we took her to the Nutcracker Suite and then went by Build-A-Bear.
	And then as we're checking out, I saw that up at the top.
	I said, Hans, are we the baddies?
	I said, Karen, I think we just made a mistake here with this thing.
	We're doing business with these people.
	Anyway, luckily for the Southern Poverty Law Center, Moms for Liberty is a chapter-based organization, which means that it can be counted not once, but dozens of times.
	Each chapter is listed as a separate group in their report.
	They're padding the report.
	The 2022 hate map lists 89 hate groups in Florida.
	28 of them are Moms for Liberty.
	About a third. About that.
	And in Texas, Moms for Liberty constitutes 10 of the state's 72 extremist groups.
	So, you know, about 14%, about one-seventh there.
	And about 33% in Florida.
	They're really using that to pat it, to make themselves look very important.
	Aaron Moss says, data centers need data.
	It's getting close to the time that we've got to throw our phones at a politician.
	Yeah, here, keep it.
	Stephen Kaspar, SPLC is the biggest hate group in America.
	They are. They are.
	Yeah. Of course, the FBI is pretty big as well.
	The FBI operates that way.
	It's thoroughly politicized.
	These moms are so dangerous, as my son, they account for most of the terrorist activity in the U.S. Yeah, that's right.
	In their imagination.
	But of course, you know, a government that is afraid of people who want to take responsibility for their kids.
	Pretty amazing. My sister was a school teacher all of her life, and she used to say, well, you can tell which kids are going to succeed based on how involved their parents are.
	The PTA stuff, right?
	And she said she'd taught for years.
	It was pretty easy to recognize that.
	But of course, the government is not interested in your children succeeding.
	And of course, when she said that, homeschooling was not even an option when she taught.
	OpenAI is hit with its first defamation suit over chat GPT hallucination.
	This is from vaccineimpact.com.
	And of course, when the AI hallucinates over you being a terrorist, how do you roll that back?
	That's the real problem.
	Just take a look at what people are going through with January the 6th.
	Look at that harassment.
	How they have extended this to people who did nothing wrong.
	To people who walked in because the police were there by the open doors letting everybody walk in.
	You trespassed. You trespassed into our sacred holy of holies here.
	How dare you?
	Yeah. Reigning people's lives.
	But, you know, again, who needs Southern Poverty Law Center when you've got imaginative chat LGBT? Brian Shulhavi says many people are still fooled.
	By AI, because it's in its infancy, they're fooled about its limitations.
	But the people who are making lots and lots and lots of money on Wall Street, there was an article this weekend, why isn't the stock market reflecting As a recession, I said, there's one thing.
	People keep pouring money into artificial intelligence.
	And Brian Shohavi has said, this is a real dangerous aspect of artificial intelligence right there.
	If this stuff doesn't deliver, it's been really hyped and oversold.
	And if it doesn't deliver on everything, people sour on it as they have done twice in the past.
	This is the third wave of artificial intelligence is going to rule the world ideas.
	And of course, this one is further along than any of the others have been.
	But when it doesn't produce everything that they want it to, and if people get disillusioned, that's going to take the stock market down right there.
	So he said, you know, whenever it comes up with something false, they call it a hallucination.
	But one person is calling it defamation in a lawsuit.
	Bloomberg Law reported this week that OpenAI was hit with its first, the company that is behind the chat, LGBT. Was hit with his first defamation lawsuit when he allegedly falsely accused a Georgia man of embezzling money.
	I think I talked about this case.
	But it is still interesting to go back and hit it again.
	It was a lawsuit from a Georgia radio host who claimed that the viral artificial intelligence program, ChatGBT, generated a false legal complaint accusing him of embezzling money.
	This might be the second case, because some of these details did not ring familiar with me.
	But this one, a lawsuit, has actually been filed.
	As first of its kind case, it comes as AI programs face heightened security over their ability to spread misinformation and to hallucinate false outputs, making it a legal precedent.
	Mark Walter said in his suit that the chatbot provided false complaint to Fred Real, the editor-in-chief of the gun publication AmmoLand, who was reporting on a real-life legal case that was playing out in Washington State.
	So, Fred Reel, the editor of AmmoLand, asked ChatGPT to provide a summary of a court case, Second Amendment Foundation v.
	Ferguson, a case in Washington federal court accusing the state's Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, of abusing his power by chilling the activities of the Gun Rights Foundation.
	However, ChatGPT allegedly provided a summary of the case to him that said that the Second Amendment Foundation's founder, Alan Gottlieb, was suing Walters for defrauding and embezzling funds from the foundation as chief financial officer and treasurer.
	Every statement of fact in the summary pertaining to Walters is false, according to the defamation suit filed on January 5th.
	Well, If that's the case, maybe we should think about, since we're elevating AI to the role of Maybe we should look at artificial intelligence replacing George Santos, the Republican from Long Island.
	Since every detail of his resume was made up, maybe artificial intelligence could do it in a more convincing way than George Santos did.
	And if the AI program got elected, I'm sure that Kevin McCarthy and Marjorie Taylor Greene and all the rest of these Republicans would line up behind artificial intelligence and defend it Saying it needs to stay in Congress since it's got an R after its name, if that were the case.
	No, I use a program that goes through and gives me a transcript.
	And it's gotten a lot better lately.
	But it'll still do things when I can't just copy and paste the thing.
	Because I try to give people an idea, since the program is so long, where do we switch topics and things like that?
	And so I've put time codes in the descriptions if you haven't noticed.
	I do it for the video, the full show video.
	I do it for the podcast as well.
	But I can't just copy and paste it in because it'll sometimes really, sometimes it'll be amazingly accurate.
	And other times, it will say exactly the opposite of what I said.
	Or it'll conflate two different names with, you know, completely different activities.
	And that's the way this stuff operates.
	But people have an amazing...
	Just like they've got an amazing amount of trust for Trump and politicians.
	It's a very concerning thing to me, frankly.
	Aaron Moss says, if you sue AI, you give it entity status.
	Well, actually, they're suing OpenAI, the company behind it.
	If you can sue businesses and people and AI, what's next?
	A tree? That's right.
	Well, they're going to, you know, these people have produced this software, which is going around defaming people.
	You know, they produce the software and they're talking about how wonderful it is.
	By the way, because there's a lot of overlap in self-driving cars and artificial intelligence.
	This is one of the things that gives us both concern and hope.
	Concern that when you look at self-driving cars, Tesla alone has killed 17 people.
	And I forget how many hundreds have been injured in automobile accidents because of the self-driving cars.
	Stuff that was all hype from Elon Musk.
	Yeah, it does a little bit of it, but then when it gets to key things, key junctures, it falls apart, right?
	Very dangerous thing.
	And when you stop and think about it, that's more people than have been killed with this Takata airbag recall that's gone on for a couple of decades.
	And it's pretty amazing that they've been given a pass all this time.
	A bigger body count than that.
	And it's significant.
	And I've followed on to this self-driving thing and how it was being used by Elon Musk as hype from the very beginning.
	That's the way he made his Tesla cars sexy.
	It was by talking about this futuristic technology.
	And so that really was kind of the sizzle to the steak.
	Everybody else said, no, I don't know.
	I really want this steak or not.
	He's like, oh, but look at this, you know.
	And that's the thing that really made it go.
	And of course, the government wants him to sell you EV cars.
	They've heavily financed him, given him billions of dollars in subsidies for this, because they want everybody on an EV. And so they're more than willing to look the other way, as his self-driving technology kills 17 people so far.
	So, and that's not even talking about the battery fires, which are not limited at all to Tesla.
	That's just a lithium battery thing.
	We've seen this happening with phones for a long time.
	We've seen it happening with laptops occasionally.
	But, you know, there's a rash of lithium battery fires with Samsung for whatever reason.
	And we've seen it with EV buses, really bad, in France and in Germany.
	Those are not Tesla's. You know, Tesla's had its share of fires just recently.
	There was a guy in California, and he said he was stopped and started smoking.
	He saw a fire, and it happened so quickly, he jumped out of the car and just barely made it himself.
	And he said, I drive my family around in this thing.
	I wouldn't have been able to get the kids out of here before they would have been incinerated.
	He had escaped, luckily escaped, but he was outraged.
	Because they thought, you know, this could have easily destroyed my family.
	Killed us all. Because they would have been in there trying to get the kids out of the car seats or whatever.
	And they would have all died.
	Anyway, getting back to the AI stuff.
	Brian Shalhavi says, I do not think that AGI is a threat.
	Or that we have an AI safety problem, or that we're just around the corner from some singularity with machines, or that they're going to become self-aware and nuke us all, or that type of thing, or Skynet.
	But I do believe this technological paradigm shift poses a significant threat to humanity, which is, in fact, about the only thing I can somewhat agree with the mainstream on, but for completely different reasons.
	Like I was just talking about. Can falsely identify you as a terrorist, for example.
	Right? That's a threat.
	The fact that artificial intelligence will be used to censor podcasts.
	That's a threat. And, you know, some people will be falsely identified with that.
	I will not be falsely identified.
	They know that I oppose them on those narratives.
	It's not that the information that I give is false.
	But there'll be people who get caught up in this thing and have all kinds of problems with this, especially with the high-handed attitude of these tech companies.
	You know, I know the government and these tech companies don't want me on, so I don't argue with them.
	But some people who get falsely identified, they're going to have a heck of a time trying to get the attention of somebody in these companies because they don't even want to give me a publicized reason.
	They never respond to people.
	Air Moss says, Ford recall on hybrid, Maverick for battery fires.
	Yeah, there you go.
	It's happening all the time.
	What makes generative AI so interesting is not that it is sentient, but that it's the first time in our history that we are speaking or communicating with something other than a human being in a coherent fashion.
	Closest thing that we've had before with this has been parrots.
	Yes, parrots.
	Yes, parrots.
	We typically kind of, you know, see the videos and it can be kind of comical.
	And some of the really smart parrots might eventually start to associate certain sounds with things like, you know, hey, Polly wants a cracker, right?
	That's the way when I say Polly wants a cracker, I get rewarded.
	So Polly does really want a cracker.
	But a lot of the stuff is just kind of randomly synchronized.
	But artificial intelligence is a little bit better.
	As Brian says, the English is immaculate.
	There's no spelling mistakes.
	Sentences make sense.
	It's not only grammatically accurate, but it's semantically accurate as well.
	Therefore, it must be alive!
	It's alive! It's alive!
	Frankenstein movie. Little do you realize that you're speaking to a highly sophisticated stochastic parrot.
	No. Statistically, it's going through these.
	As it turns out, language is a little more rules-based than what we all thought.
	And probability engines can actually do an excellent job of emulating intelligence through the frame or the conduit of a language.
	And that's exactly what they're doing.
	And so, when we come back, we're going to continue with this.
	But I wanted to put that out there for a number of reasons before we get into the politics.
	Because people need to be a little less trusting of these things.
	We even have an artificial intelligence system.
	Being called on to preach a sermon at a very large German evangelical thing over the weekend.
	We'll talk about that when we come back as well.
	Stay with us.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, let's talk a little bit about the Trump thing, because it's interesting to see people's reactions, especially lawyers' reactions.
	I had an attorney who's a listener to the show, said, you're right in your comparisons, I agree with that, as what else he should be charged with in terms of, you know, these other crimes of violating the Constitution, of killing people with the The injection that I believe he criminally rushed and pushed and bragged about, how he told them, you do it right now, and they made no bones about it.
	He was bragging about the fact, I told these people, the FDA, you get this thing, an emergency use authorization right now, or you're fired.
	Right? So yeah, he's the father of all that.
	He said, however, I read through the indictment, and it is a solid slam dunk.
	He says, I'm glad it was done.
	Keep talking up your point about the awful crime of the century.
	The lockdowns and all the rest of this stuff.
	Yeah. And this is not just his opinion.
	And it's not just the opinion of people who don't like Trump.
	I've only seen one opinion come out.
	And we'll get to these different opinions.
	We're not going to get into the weeds on this.
	But just to give you an idea of what various people are saying.
	Trump has made enemies everywhere, even with the people who used to work for him.
	And so they're all talking about this.
	Competitors are talking about it in the presidential race.
	But there's only one person who has come out belatedly and said, I think he can win.
	And that's Dershowitz, Alan Dershowitz.
	But even Dershowitz is qualifying in what he has to say in terms of Trump's legal jeopardy on this.
	But see, that's...
	That's one issue.
	And the other part of it is encapsulated in this Babylon Bee headline.
	Trump names Hunter Biden as his running mate so the Department of Justice will stop investigating him.
	You see? That says everything right there in that very concise headline.
	Steve Bannon said it's really a brilliant 4D chess type of move, says Babylon Bee.
	And then they have Trump bragging about choosing Hunter Biden as his running mate.
	All uppercase, of course.
	Trump wins once again.
	I remain undefeated against my corrupt deep state's efforts to take me out.
	Hunter Biden is my new running mate, making me invincible to any investigation.
	He's even more trustworthy than my previous running mate.
	So much winning.
	You see, that's the issue.
	The issue is, is that not only is, you know, Biden and Hunter committed crimes, and they committed crimes, and we knew that they'd committed crimes before the 2020 election.
	I reported on it many times.
	He had videotape where he's bragging about what he's doing in Ukraine and all the rest of the stuff, and the charisma and money and all the rest.
	It was all known. All known.
	And they've had this stuff since 2017, actually.
	And the Trump administration didn't do anything about it.
	The Trump administration didn't do anything about Hillary Clinton's emails either.
	Secret documents published on her server for everybody to see.
	Wasn't even something that was in his house.
	That doesn't excuse anything that Trump did.
	But what it shows people Is that there's a double standard.
	Not only will Hunter Biden not be, and Joe, not be investigated for anything, but the FBI will shut down any investigations, and they'll confiscate evidence, just like they did with Flight 800 and many other instances where they went around and had accident investigators, people who were air traffic controllers and things.
	They confiscated evidence from them on the Flight 800 thing.
	That's what they're doing with Biden as well.
	That's what is so dangerous about this.
	It's not that Trump committed a crime and could go to jail.
	As a matter of fact, the former Scottish Prime Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, was just arrested for corruption charges in Scotland.
	Well, good. We don't want people to get away with crimes simply because they're the president or the prime minister or whatever.
	They should be held accountable to the law.
	They're not above the law.
	We don't want that. They all swear an oath to the Constitution, but then they violate it, and they're no longer having legitimate authority, but they still have a lot of power.
	We don't want to embrace this corruption.
	We want to punish it.
	As I've said so many times, we're talking about institutions, you know, what Frank Serpico said about corrupt police departments.
	He said every institution's going to have bad people in it.
	The institution then is either going to purge these people or protect these people.
	If you protect them, the institution becomes corrupted.
	And more and more.
	It's a downhill slope at that point in time.
	And it's this corruption, this protection of Biden from his crimes that everybody sees by the entire government.
	And so that makes them suspicious Of whether these crimes against Trump are even true or not.
	I think they are in the details.
	But see, the most dangerous thing about this is that they've now created the perception that justice is politically biased in this country.
	As I said before, people don't really seem to care when the government comes after us, do they?
	They've got their Night Fury program where they're profiling people with anticipatory intelligence and artificial intelligence to label you pre-crime as a terrorist.
	We don't care about that. What's going on with Trump?
	Then we look at the pistol brace stuff, right?
	Paul Bedard says this executive order banning pistol braces by Biden and the ATF just created 29 million felons with a pistol brace.
	Are you concerned about that?
	Do you care that the Biden administration perhaps made a felon of you or a felon of your friend or somebody, a relative or somebody in your family?
	Pretty good chance.
	Do you care about that?
	Or do you only care about the fact that they've labeled Trump as a felon?
	See, this is the problem.
	Everybody is so focused on these politicians.
	We're simply in it for themselves.
	Yeah, it is a Game of Thrones and they are fighting against each other.
	And these guys will come at you in different ways.
	But, you know, when you look at the pistol brace thing, as I pointed out before, after Trump did the bump stock ban and set a precedent for being the first president to claim that he could regulate firearms in some way by executive order, he did the pistol brace ban in 2019.
	And it stayed there until December of 2020.
	And when he thought he needed everybody's support, he pulled it off.
	In December 2020, as he was doing Save America and Stop the Steal stuff.
	And then Biden immediately put it back in when he took office.
	But Trump was going to do that.
	He was going to do it a second time.
	That was his intention. He got a lot of pushback, finally, from the NRA. And he was very critical of the NRA for pushing back against his new powers.
	He didn't like that. He wanted those new dictatorial powers that he had gotten away with over the bump stock.
	And I said, at the time that happened, I said, this is such an incredibly dangerous precedent.
	Gun Owners of America, National Association for Gun Rights, they pushed back on it.
	But the NRA said, no, that's okay.
	We don't care about bump stocks.
	Well, do you care about principle?
	Do you care about the precedent that's being set here?
	Because immediately when you let him get away with it, he did it again.
	And immediately after he did it, and I was talking about how dangerous it was, you had Lala Harris, who was running for president at the time, immediately said, well, when I get elected president, I'm going to give Congress 100 days to enact my gun control legislation.
	And if they don't do it, I'll do it by executive order.
	Where'd she get that idea from?
	From Trump. And so you're going to go to the mat for Trump.
	Who did a pistol brace ban to create tens of millions of felons just like Biden has done it?
	Oh yeah, Biden is so much worse than Trump.
	Is he? Is he? I think they're both bad.
	I think they both ought to be impeached and I think they both ought to go to jail for different crimes.
	The owners of only 0.6% to 1% Of the AR-15 style pistols.
	It's not an AR-15 style pistol.
	It's a pistol with a brace on it.
	They have complied only a half to one percent.
	In other words, have complied with this deadline set by the BATF. By failing to do so, the owners of an estimated 20 to 40 million guns could face 10 years in prison.
	A $10,000 fine or both.
	The ATF even estimates...
	That it's 3 to 5 million people.
	So they're, you know, an order of magnitude lower.
	You know, a factor of 10 lower.
	But 3 to 5 million people?
	You got enough jails to put all those people in?
	Oh, well, we can build more, right?
	So, as of June 1st, They'd received 255,000 applications for a tax-free registration.
	They'll do it for free.
	Free introductory charge to registration.
	about that um yeah people paying too much for their interrogations and my son just straight out of brazil right this is my receipt for your receipt and i will be charging you for the interrogation of your husband john lott says that you're still talking about 29 million people who technically committed felonies
	at this point that makes this the biggest pro-gun protest ever bigger than the four percent who complied with the new york law to register ar-15 style rifles and pistols and the 13 percent in connecticut who registered their semi-automatic weapons it's even bigger than the refusal by 98 percent in connecticut to register bullet holding magazines
	Yeah, well, meanwhile, we have DeSantis has reacted to this.
	He reacted by defending Trump, claiming that the FBI holds political bias.
	Well, that is true, and that is the dangerous thing.
	How are we going to respond to this?
	What kind of reforms are there going to be?
	And it is, like I said, this has been done so many times that the MAGA people, when you go back and you look at Russiagate, because of that, they don't believe that there is a crime here.
	I believe there is a crime here, as I look at it, and as I've read so many of these different characterizations of it, and I'll tell you why in a moment, why I think it's a real crime by Trump.
	It's not necessarily that, you know, I agree with everything being classified.
	But, you know, this may not even be a case of overclassification, as many people pointed out.
	This is about significant war plans and things like that.
	So, yeah, they do overclassify everything.
	This may not be the case with this.
	But this may be such a heavy lift to convince the MAGA people that there is even a crime here.
	Because they see that the law is being not applied equally to everybody.
	And this is the most dangerous statement that I've seen in terms of reaction to it.
	From Carrie Lake. I consider Carrie Lake to be a dangerous celebrity demagogue.
	A dangerous celebrity demagogue.
	This is somebody who is 100% a rhino.
	She's no more interested in the Republican ideas of limited government, the Constitution, all the rest of this stuff, or even on the social issues.
	She's no more with us than Dr.
	Oz was, another person who was endorsed by Trump.
	And she is angling, in my opinion, to get a vice presidential nomination.
	So Carrie Lake said on Friday, Those seeking to prosecute Trump would have to go through her and 75 million other Americans before warning that many of them are card-carrying members of the NRA. You see, this is the kind of talk, kind of stupid talk, that creates these problems.
	And I am very concerned about what she's saying.
	To me, this looks like a repeat.
	The kind of nonsense rhetoric I was seeing from Alex and Roger and Trump in the lead-up to January the 6th.
	And it's exactly the same type of irresponsible rhetoric that we saw from people like Eric Swalwell on the other side.
	Say, oh yeah? You want your guns?
	Well, we've got a military that can take it away from you.
	And it was repeated by Beto O'Rourke.
	It was repeated by Joe Biden as well.
	These people want to start a civil war.
	Don't let them drag you into it.
	Especially not to defend Trump, of all people.
	And I said that to all of it.
	Don't go to January the 6th.
	It's a trap. Don't pay attention to Carrie Lake.
	She is a trap. She's just another grifting celebrity demagogue out there looking to feather her nest.
	I have a message tonight, she said, from Eric Garland and Jack Smith and Joe Biden.
	And the guys back there in the fake news media, you should listen up as well.
	This one is for you. And that's when she said, you're going to have to go, if you want to get Trump, you're going to have to go through 75 million Americans just like me.
	Most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA. That's not a threat, she said.
	That's a public service announcement.
	She was contacted by the Washington Post to ask about that.
	And then she doubled down on it and she said, I meant what I said.
	Well, I meant what I said about her.
	She's irresponsible.
	She's dangerous. She's as much of a threat to us as people like Eric Swalwell and Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
	These grifting politicians, will they push us into a civil war?
	Or the commenters like Wayne Allen Root?
	Who says the indictment of Trump is a declaration of war.
	They want a civil war so badly.
	It makes me disgusted.
	They will go to a civil war over Trump.
	They won't go to a civil war over the police state.
	They won't go to a civil war over the lockdown, over the public health medical tyranny.
	No, no, no. It's only over Trump that will do anything.
	That's what I was also saying in 2020 to these people going to January the 6th.
	I said, are you kidding me?
	This guy locked us down, told us we were non-essential?
	He's creating a poison injection for us?
	And you're going to go to the mat for him?
	Just incredible what these people are doing.
	I understand why Alex and the rest of these people, they were doing it for money.
	Why were the people showing up there?
	I don't understand. Yeah, Wayne Allen Root.
	This is a guy who has railed about the vaccines.
	He hates the vaccines.
	He's lectured Trump for a long time.
	Stop talking about the vaccines.
	They're horrible. You got owned with all this stuff.
	Stop talking about it.
	And yet, he is a rabid supporter of all things Trump.
	He even says, this is war.
	This is life or death. This is the end of America if we don't fight fire with fire.
	I'm sure that Alex will say the same thing.
	It's not. It's not.
	And this is not the right way to respond to this government corruption.
	I'm going to have Matt Trujillo on again, the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate, and we're going to talk a little bit more about this when we talk about the guy who was arrested in Reading, Pennsylvania for reading from the Bible at a pride march.
	And, you know, it's illegal, evidently, to read in Reading if what you're reading is the Bible.
	So, it's, but look, I just had, and the reason I said I need to get Matt back on again, I just had somebody say, while I was going through this, you know, course that I'm taking with church or something, And I gave him the name of the book.
	He asked me. He said, I know you've had somebody on who has a very different idea than we should submit to everything that the government tells us to do.
	He's like, yeah, I definitely don't agree with that.
	And I have biblical reasons for not agreeing with it.
	I have historical reasons for not agreeing with it.
	I have pragmatic reasons for not agreeing with it.
	I disagree with that.
	As strongly as I can disagree with anything.
	That interpretation. That misunderstanding.
	Of Romans 13.
	And other passages that are there.
	And so I gave him the name of the book, but I guess probably it's time to go back and take a look at this.
	Especially with all of the talk, we need to understand that this country does not sink or swim based on what happens to some failed casino owner, Donald Trump.
	This guy couldn't even run casinos at a profit.
	Come on, he couldn't run this country.
	Look at the mess he's made of his own life.
	Anyway, Lindsey Graham says Trump is stronger today politically than he was before the indictment, and I'm afraid that's true.
	All of this stuff is to make him stronger.
	As I'd mentioned before, in Scotland they did arrest Nicola Sturgeon for a finances probe.
	They confirmed the 52-year-old woman was taken into custody as a suspect and being questioned by detectives.
	It follows the arrest and release of her husband, who was the ex-chief executive of the Scottish National Party that she was head of.
	A little bit of nepotism there, right?
	With both of those things.
	So it's all about party financing.
	She was Prime Minister.
	Her husband was head of the party.
	I'm not going to get into the weeds of that, frankly, but the bottom line is that when politicians break the law, they should be held accountable.
	And that's the problem.
	We all know that Biden broke the law and is not being held accountable.
	That is far clearer to everybody because it's been there for six years.
	People have been talking about the details of that case for six years.
	But you can see the video of him bragging about it and everything.
	That is far more obvious than the details of what happened with Trump.
	Because my first opinion about it was, well, look, you know, you have Jimmy Carter, you have Pence, you have Biden.
	They all had papers.
	Why are they not coming after them?
	Well, it turns out it's a very different thing.
	And we'll talk about that. But what they have come up with for Trump is 536 years in prison.
	If he's convicted on all the counts that they put against him and given the maximum amount, that'd be 536 years.
	Interesting point.
	That's longer than the country has been a country.
	Longer than it's been since the Pilgrims did the first settlement.
	31 counts for willful retention of national defense information.
	Ten years each. Three counts of withholding or concealing documents in a federal investigation, 20 years each.
	Two counts of false statements, five years each.
	One count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, 20 years.
	And so he's also under, they get the 500, so that's 400 years.
	Then he's got 34 felony counts in New York.
	I don't know if that is, you know, again, I have my doubts about that, but there's other stuff.
	You see, the key thing is, is that the difference between Trump and Biden and Pence and Jimmy Carter was they went through and they said, oh, we got these papers here, and they immediately turned them over.
	See, what Trump did was when he was told that he had papers there, he not only refused to turn them over, but he lied about it.
	And this is what I said from the very beginning.
	His big exposure to all of this stuff, Is that he can't keep his trap shut.
	And that makes him liable for perjury traps and other things like that.
	And, you know, going back to Martha Stewart.
	They went to Martha Stewart. They wanted to post her child for insider trading.
	They couldn't get her for insider trading.
	However, they did say, well, you lied to the FBI, so we're going to send you to jail for that.
	And that's what they sent her to jail for.
	It's very easy to get Trump talking and to get himself in trouble over that aspect than the rest of this stuff.
	As a matter of fact, this isn't even about whether or not he had highly secured documents.
	He did, but it's really about his willful retention of this stuff, his concealing documents, his making false statements about it.
	That's what it's truly about. Stephen Caspar says, if they're worried about what Trump has, while the rest of our politicians are selling us out to the highest bidder.
	And see, that's true. That's true.
	And that is not just a perception.
	That is a reality. You know, they don't care that Biden is selling, you know, just one particular instance, $5 million on this thing.
	And this is what is really dangerous about all this.
	Eric Gavarmi, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. I'm a rock fan.
	He says, first everyone was going to die of COVID, then everyone is going to die of climate change.
	Can't believe people are buying all this stuff.
	That's right. Rhonda Tate said, like the music.
	Well, thank you very much. I finally got something else finished over the weekend.
	Johnny Freedom. Trump said, take them now and litigate later.
	Such a fraud. Yeah.
	Take the guns and do the due process later.
	Well, I guess they could be...
	You know, what goes around comes around, doesn't it?
	SoloCat, 1980. Trump is not worth our loyalty when he has betrayed us at every turn.
	He is a demon rat.
	I agree. We people.
	Trujillo calls the entire LGBT plus agenda out.
	He doesn't mince words. Could step on some toes.
	Yeah, well... I do that all the time.
	You know, it's just, you've got to do that when it's there.
	Aaron Moss, nobody even protested the J6 people.
	Most were good folks who did nothing wrong.
	That's right. Isn't that interesting?
	You know, you got people who were given, they didn't violate any law and they were punished.
	You know, Trump didn't stand up for them and they were his own people.
	So that should tell us something about it.
	You know, we look at unequal application of law.
	We look at unequal protection.
	We look at people who should have been pardoned by Trump.
	He didn't do that. The Syrian girl, the problem with that is that we don't have many lesser magistrates who are not totally in with the political mud at the state and federal levels.
	That's right. But it's easier to fix them there.
	That is the top part.
	And when we get to this Pennsylvania thing, I'll give you an example of that.
	You had scumbags at the local level and you had some good people at the local level in that particular case.
	And we'll talk about that coming up.
	But let's take a look at what some of the lawyers are saying.
	Jonathan Turley, who doesn't have an axe to grind with Trump whatsoever.
	Yes, okay, he's on Fox News still.
	He's not an anti-Trumper by any means whatsoever.
	And this is the headline on the op-ed piece by Jonathan Turley.
	He says, Scandal may be Trump's element.
	But this time may be different.
	Yes, he loves the scandal.
	He thrives on the scandal.
	It makes him ever more popular.
	However, he believes that there's real crimes at the base of this.
	And again, that's not the issue.
	The issue is, and of course a greater crime is being ignored.
	You know, I looked at this thing.
	My first reaction was that it was like the Dennis Hastert thing.
	Here's a guy who's a pedophile being blackmailed by somebody that he sexually abused as a child.
	And what did they get him for?
	Not for being a pedophile.
	They get him because he took money out of his bank account to avoid anybody asking questions.
	He did it structured withdrawals.
	Well, again, I don't even see a reason for that to be a crime.
	I can understand their justification.
	I say, well, we want to know if you're putting money into the bank.
	We want to know if you've got unreported income that you're not paying taxes on.
	But after it's in the bank, it's already been reported on.
	And why would it be a crime to take it out in a way that it shouldn't be, except that it's part of the surveillance state?
	And so they sent him to jail for that.
	And at the sentencing, the judge referenced his pedophile stuff.
	So you knew that that's what they were sending him to jail for, but that's not what they were charging him for.
	And the sad thing about it is, is that the government at every level could fix this by getting rid of the statute of limitations.
	You see, he committed these crimes a while back, like most of these people, But the statute of limitations just says, well, we're not going to try people on it.
	You can remove the statute of limitations.
	They've done it temporarily in California.
	And so you see a lot of charges against celebrities in movie studios by people who said they were sexually exploited or abused when they were a child because they temporarily remove the statute of limitations.
	Just permanently remove it.
	It's difficult enough to prove the case when decades have passed.
	But it ought to always be there.
	At the very least, these pedophiles ought to always be looking over their shoulder.
	The fact is, many people will see this indictment as confirmation of the worst expectations of either Trump or the Justice Department, says Jonathan Turley.
	It'll be difficult to get through a trial before the 2024 presidential election.
	See, that's the purpose. And I said, when I first saw this, I said, you know, that just like the Manhattan trial over, you know, lying about documents or whatever it was, That just like that trial, they're going to do it next year at the height of the election season.
	And that's only going to underscore the political aspects of this.
	And it is political if they come after one person's crimes and not the other party.
	He goes on to say, Jonathan Turley, even if the Justice Department pushed for a trial, judges likely would balk at the notion of trying this case just months before the election.
	Well, we'll see. Either way, Trump, if he won reelection to the White House, could give himself a pardon before or after any conviction.
	Well, you know, that's an interesting thing, and there seems to be some disagreement as to whether or not you can pardon somebody before they're convicted.
	Seems to me like you can, but this is why, and this Alvin Bragg joker in the Manhattan DA, just because he's doing something doesn't mean that it's right, for sure.
	But, you know, he's coming after Steve Bannon again because he said Steve Bannon was pardoned by Trump before he was convicted.
	And so I can come after him and it's not double jeopardy.
	Well, I don't know, but again, that would be two different things.
	Can you pardon yourself?
	And can you do it in advance?
	I don't so much have a problem with the pardoning in advance, but I do have a problem with somebody pardoning themselves.
	You want to talk about a Banana Republic situation?
	You know, a free shot, a free get-out-of-jail card for any presidential dictator who commits a crime.
	Any crime he commits, he can pardon himself for it, right?
	Bribery, the whole bit.
	You don't even need to have a corrupt Department of Justice like Biden does.
	You just pardon yourself. Well, excuse me.
	It's like Steve Martin, right?
	For two years, Turley, I've said that the Mar-a-Lago charges, particularly obstruction, represent the greatest threat to Trump.
	It remains baffling why he forced this issue over these documents rather than just giving them all back.
	And this is what everybody is saying.
	You know, this is what Turley is saying.
	Chris Christie said the same thing, but you look at Chris Christie and you go, okay, okay.
	He's running against Trump.
	He hates Trump and all the rest of the stuff.
	But that's the issue.
	He was given a long time just to give him back and he refused to do it.
	And then he lied to them about that.
	See? That's the key.
	Indeed, the ultimate jury in this case will prove to be the American people.
	If the 2024 election could become a referendum on this case, isn't that sad?
	With all the things that they're doing to us.
	Right? Trump is all about 5G. Surveillance is what that's about.
	It's got health issues in it as well.
	Or he doesn't care about that.
	He created the vaccine.
	He's proud of that. He did the lockdown.
	He set precedence with that.
	He set precedence with gun control.
	And yet...
	And you look at...
	We've got CBDC that's being rolled out.
	All of these other things. Oh, we're going to talk about Trump.
	This is what they want.
	They want it to be a professional wrestling drama between Trump and Biden.
	That's what they want.
	Both sides want that.
	They don't want us talking about a global digital ID and all the rest of this stuff that they're doing.
	It'll become a referendum on this case.
	you Turley says, I've long maintained that presidents can pardon themselves, and Trump could well use his mugshot as a campaign poster.
	Well, I don't know about that, and I would strongly disagree that they should, if there's some kind of legal loophole that they can do that.
	That's a very bad idea.
	When you talk about corruption, man.
	Trump admitted on tape, here's the key.
	He admitted on tape that he didn't declassify secret military documents that he kept.
	And it's kind of interesting when you look at the recordings that they have and the transcript that's in the indictment.
	Here's how one, I'll read two of them, they're short.
	Trump says, well, with the, and he cites the name of a senior military official, let me see that.
	I'll show you an example.
	He said, I wanted to attack this particular country, which they've redacted.
	Isn't it amazing? I have a big pile of papers.
	This thing just came up.
	Look, this is him.
	They presented me with this.
	This is off the record, but they presented me this.
	This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.
	And he's showing it to the writer.
	And the writer says, wow.
	And then Trump says, we looked at some.
	This was him. This wasn't done by me.
	This was him. All sorts of stuff.
	Pages long. Look at this.
	And the staffer says, hmm.
	And Trump says, wait a minute. Let's see here.
	And staffer laughs.
	Yeah. He says, I just found, isn't that amazing?
	This totally wins my case, you know?
	Totally wins my case. I have the irony of that.
	Totally loses his case.
	He hasn't got a clue.
	Again, he's incapable of acting, except out of his own perceived self-interest or out of revenge.
	And that appears to be what is happening here.
	People ask his motivation for this stuff.
	Is it there to defend?
	He's showing this to a writer?
	Is he building a case?
	Is he going to write his memoirs and say, see, I told you that this wasn't my policy.
	These people were rebelling against me.
	Whatever. But it's about him.
	And he cares more about his perception, his public perception, than he does about genuine military issues here and national security secrets.
	Trump said, I was just thinking, because we're talking about it, and you know, he wanted to attack Country A, and Stafford says, yeah, you did.
	He says, this is what was done by the military and given to me.
	I think we can, probably, right?
	Stafford says, well, I don't know.
	We'll have to see. Yeah, we'll have to try.
	He says, we can declassify it.
	He admits that it's classified.
	Staffer says, yeah, we'll have to figure that out.
	Yeah. Trump says, see, as president, I could have declassified it.
	And the staffer says, yeah, and laughs.
	Trump, but now I can't, you know.
	But this is still a secret.
	Staffer says, yeah, and laughs.
	And says, now we have a problem.
	And Trump says, isn't that interesting?
	And then... The special prosecutor says, yeah, I think that's very interesting.
	He was the one now, I guess, that should say, this totally wins my case.
	It's ironic.
	And yet, it's his ego.
	It's his ego, that he would refuse to do this, and why?
	What's his motivation, people ask?
	Well, I think he'd look at that back and forth.
	He wants to tell people about this.
	He wants to show something about these military people to defend his reputation.
	Not to defend this country.
	Chris Christie, as he goes on with Fox News, and you've got Brian Kilmeade, I think it is.
	I always refer to him as Kilmeade.
	I can't stand listening to that guy.
	Chris Christie says, let's stop talking about the double standard thing here.
	And it's true, right?
	There is a double standard, and that's true, and that's what makes this even more complicated.
	That's another aspect of it.
	But In terms of when it comes to, there's a double standard in the sense that they're not going to come after Biden or Hunter for their financial corruption, right?
	But it's not a double standard when it comes to the papers.
	Christie said, the problem with all this is that it's self-inflicted.
	I don't know that the government even knew that Biden had those documents or not.
	But they did know that Donald Trump did.
	And in fact, they asked for them to be turned over voluntarily for over a year and a quarter.
	And they got them back in dribs and drabs.
	And at least if you believe the accounts that you're reading right now, and I take them with a grain of salt because I did this work for seven years, I know you can't believe anything until an indictment comes out.
	This is before the indictment came out.
	But he says, if in fact you're keeping those things knowingly, even after the government has asked for you to bring them back, The excuses about, oh, they were classified or declassified automatically when I left the office, well, that's just wrong.
	I mean, I know that as a legal matter.
	He says, and then it's a bigger problem than whether or not he's indicted, because all of these are self-inflicted wounds.
	Just return the documents and stop doing this.
	Why do you have to be the center of negative attention all the time?
	Why do you have to be angry all the time?
	And that's what Donald Trump has done.
	And so that's where we see this thing.
	Just return the documents.
	It's self-inflicted wounds.
	How many times have we seen Trump do self-inflicted wounds?
	How many times has he shot himself in the foot with his mouth?
	And that's exactly what he has done.
	As I said before, it's big jeopardy.
	It's going to be that he is going to fall into the perjury trap.
	Well, he did it in a big way.
	He not only committed perjury, but he continued to keep these documents when they said to give them back.
	Bill Barr says the Trump indictment is very damning, even if only half of it is true.
	And again, as I said before, only Alan Dershowitz comes to his defense, but it is a qualified defense.
	Alan Dershowitz says this fails a crucial test.
	He says it doesn't meet what I call the Richard Nixon standard, which was very clear obstruction of justice, destroying evidence, paying bribes.
	This is too close a case to bring against the man running for president against the incumbent president, he said.
	But there are two paragraphs in it, and these are the paragraphs that I read you.
	These paragraphs refer to Trump allegedly showing an unidentified writer and publisher and staff members a, quote, highly confidential plan to attack a country.
	And I believe it refers to Mark Milley.
	Either way, it doesn't really make any difference.
	Six days later, Trump showed the writer and the publisher...
	Well, he described as a plan of attack from the same general.
	And, you know, again, he had said that Mark Milley was quoted in July 15, 2021, as fighting to stop Trump from ordering an attack on Iran.
	So six days later, he's showing this.
	And what he's doing is defending himself by saying, I wasn't the one who wanted to attack Iran.
	He was the one who wanted to attack Iran.
	See, this is why I kept these documents, to defend myself.
	Well, that may be, you know, again, you can understand that he would want to do that, but that seems to be his motivation.
	And it is also a violation of the law, of the clear letter of the law.
	And so even Alan Dershowitz says, well, that's going to have to be explained.
	We're going to have to hear an exception from Trump's lawyers or from Trump as to how we justify having shown to somebody who doesn't have any security clearance allegedly some information about a plan to attack Iran.
	Yeah, that would be the thing that you would have to do.
	That's what I'm saying. Even Alan Dershowitz can't get past that paragraph as much as he wants to defend Trump.
	And so, I don't see anybody out there on either side of this that isn't saying that it's a big crime.
	But the public perception is going to be the details.
	And the public perception is, rightfully so, that Biden can do anything that he wants.
	And not only will he not be charged, but the Department of Justice and the FBI will cover up his crimes, his bribery, and all the rest of his stuff.
	And then you and I... Looking at all this, understand that we're nothing but pawns in this game of 4D chess.
	And they feel like they can poison us, lock us down, murder us, send us to war, unjustified war.
	None of this matters to them.
	Why? Because it doesn't matter to us.
	You see, the problem is not just that they are arrogant and on their own.
	The problem is that we think so little of ourselves, so little of our family, and of our future, and the future of our children, that we care far more about the future of Donald Trump than we care about the future of our children growing up in a surveillance state that is ruthless and unaccountable to law.
	And we simply don't care about that.
	Because I know all the people say, well, that's why we're concerned about Trump.
	No, no.
	You're not saying anything about your stuff.
	You didn't push back against Trump when he locked you down and put in a medical martial law state.
	So don't tell me that you care about the future.
	Don't tell me that you care about your future if you didn't push back against Trump then.
	He has an ace in the hole.
	And that is the judge, Eileen Cannon.
	Uh, was appointed by him.
	And she already has been seen to go to bat for him.
	Uh, so for the Department of Justice, Judge Cannon may be a loose cannon.
	Let's shut this whole thing down.
	Who knows? General McGovern, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, Dave, thanks for keeping us posted.
	My 10-year-old daughter said she likes the music on your show.
	Well, thank you. And you have a relaxing voice.
	Helps her to fall asleep at night.
	Well, I hope I don't put too many people to sleep with my relaxing voice.
	But I take that as a compliment.
	I appreciate that. Thank you.
	Being able to pardon yourself, says my son, in advance, seems like a dangerous combo.
	Yeah, it's like a legal version of a Catholic indulgence.
	And of course, that is something that is very much a part of their mindset.
	You know, you can get a pollution indulgence for the green religion.
	They call it, you know, it's a carbon allowance, right?
	We should call it a carbon indulgence, just so we understand it's a religion, right?
	You can pay in advance and you can pollute all you want.
	You just have to pay some billionaire, you know, like Larry Fink or Bill Gates or, you know, Al Gore, somebody like that.
	Maybe you pay a global governance for that, corporate governance.
	Trump could have pardoned J6. Yes, he could have tried at least, right?
	He didn't care. Didn't care.
	There are a lot of people who are falsely locked up.
	And Julian Assange was one of them.
	And Trump decided that instead he would pardon the wealthy white-collar criminals, especially if they're friends of Jared Kushner.
	And he also says, That I'm a hippie.
	I hate government, like protest songs, want freedom, I'm anti-war, and I'm counter to the culture.
	And I drive a VW. The Atlas SUV. There you go.
	Yeah, it's...
	They're coming back with an electric version of the original VW van, so there you go.
	That's your chance to go full-on hippie.
	But I don't think you probably want that.
	You probably want to keep your SUV. A Syrian girl.
	Trump's lack of compassion on the J6ers would be reason enough to turn away from him.
	Yeah. Even if he weren't a multi-murderer by biological injection.
	Doug Elkin says the problem with protesting in D.C. for the J6ers is that they'll get your cell phone data and nab you for being in D.C. That's right.
	That's the way it's going to be.
	And, you know, Carrie Lake now, I guess, will start doing some rallies.
	You got a gun, come on in.
	While you talk about a rope-a-dope, who is she working for?
	Whether she realizes it or not.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will 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.
	Alright, and let's talk a little bit about the flyers.
	I had an interesting picture that was sent to me by somebody, a listener in Canada, and I want to see what the audience thinks these things are.
	But before I get to that, I had another email from Mark.
	Thank you, Mark. I don't...
	You know, if anybody wants me to use their last name, I'm not trying to hide who people are, you know, because I don't want them to get credit for something.
	But, you know, let me know if you want me to use your last name.
	Otherwise, it's always first name basis.
	I don't want to get anybody in trouble in the surveillance state that we live in.
	But he said, since you brought up the question of solar power during today's show, I thought you'd appreciate this.
	Canada smoke caused a 50% reduction in solar power production in the northeastern U.S. from the Gateway Pundit.
	And yes, I saw that.
	Not surprising, is it?
	But again...
	The question is, is there geoengineering that is causing this smoke to be even more of a factor than it has been in the past?
	There's one aspect as to how these fires started.
	My biggest concern in all of it is the obvious one, that something needs to be done about forestry management.
	Because that's what's making the fires, no matter how they start, that's what's making them uncontrollable.
	But let's talk a little bit about the starting of the fire.
	Because this is also sent to me by Ed in Canada.
	He says, and he sent me pictures.
	And take a look at these pictures here.
	He said, this was dropped...
	From a plane or a balloon.
	No balloon was present. It also had a battery pack with an on-off switch.
	Found this on my land. Not so far from the Alberta fires.
	Was this maybe designed to short out or something?
	I thought that's kind of interesting.
	Look at that. That's the package.
	And he opened it up. I couldn't figure out what was in that.
	And again, I don't know what is really behind this.
	That'd be an easier explanation than the fire-breathing drones that Stu Peters was imagining.
	Flamethrowing drones. Go for the full, if you're going to do clickbait, go full into GMO-modified fire-breathing dragons.
	And let's just, you know, let's make it interesting.
	But it really is...
	A couple of other things that are there.
	The military does have a history of using force fires as a weapon and of doing weather control, I would add, as well.
	That is a headline from vaccineimpact.com.
	If you look at the Vietnam War, After the Vietnam War, you had one individual was given a Medal of Honor by the President because of weather modification and changing rain patterns and things like that for them.
	And then shortly after that, you had, and I believe the year was 1974, you had a global treaty that a lot of nations signed on to.
	Limiting what they could use, limiting the use of weather as a weapon.
	And then we have a lot of research that's been done by Dane Wigington of geoengineering.org.
	There is a report that he put out last year that Vaccine Impact republished.
	It was a 17-minute video, Wildfires as a Weapon.
	The U.S. military exposed.
	Since it's 17 minutes, I'm not going to play it for you.
	But if you want to see the full thing, You can go to Vaccine Impact, or you can just look up the title.
	It's on YouTube, I believe.
	Wildfires as a Weapon, U.S. Military Exposed.
	And he says, Is the military-industrial complex insane enough to incinerate Earth's last remaining force in order to achieve the objectives of the global controllers?
	Well, of course they are. They'll do anything to achieve their objectives.
	A formerly classified U.S. military document Well, why would they be any different than Sherman?
	Right? And it goes back before the Civil War.
	I mean, they've always had scorched earth policy.
	Different armies have.
	The U.S. Forest Service actually participated in the research and the planning that went into the military instruction manual for carrying out orchestrated forest fire catastrophes.
	You see, this is not incompetence.
	It is malicious.
	The short video reveals the shocking degree of research that the U.S. military and the U.S. Forest Service has put into preparing forests for extreme incineration.
	And of course, if their objective is to take everything from us and lock us down with climate change, this would be one thing that would certainly be on their list.
	The climate engineering atrocities are a primary factor in the equation of exponentially increasing forest fires and fire intensity.
	Geoengineering operations are disrupting the global hydrological cycle, drying out forests, driving record wildfires around the world.
	Climate engineering is fueling global incineration.
	And of course, if you leave with the forestry protocols that they have right now, It's like leaving massive containers of gasoline in the forest, as I've mentioned over and over again.
	Climate change activists are ignoring crucial factors behind the wildfire, says Trump's administrative secretary, who is a former interior secretary, David Bernhardt.
	Claims that climate, this is from Fox News, claims that climate change is behind the wildfire smoke coating parts of the East Coast does not tell the whole story, according to the former Interior Secretary Bernhardt.
	He said, quote, to be candid, if you look at these issues throughout the United States and Canada over time, it's possible that climate is changing, he says.
	But at the same time, you can say that forest management practices have contributed greatly to a much higher fuel load.
	And fuel loads are the large driver of catastrophic wildfire.
	He said they even refer to it as fuel.
	Fuel to the fire.
	The deadwood that remains there because that's their policy.
	Yeah, and regardless of how it starts, you know, whether it's flamethrowing drones or directed energy weapons or GMO-modified fire-breathing dragons or if it's, you know, somebody that's put devices in the forest to incinerate things or if it's just somebody with cigarettes out there or deliberate arson starting it.
	Once it gets started...
	You know, they have laid the foundation there for control, just like I said before.
	Just like they laid the foundation for medical martial law with the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act, part of the dark winter, the 9-11, the false flag anthrax attack, and then that legislation that went out, all that back in 2001, then practicing it, and it was all there.
	And they've got everything they need for uncontrollable fires right there.
	And it's part of their policy.
	Regardless of how they start, they become uncontrollable.
	So Bernhardt says that climate change has been a factor in causing the fire season.
	It's drier, but that's not climate change.
	Even if you don't think that it's geoengineering.
	That's not climate change.
	You have dry seasons.
	It's a thing. Look at the tree rings.
	They vary from year to year.
	Depending on whether it's a dry or a wet year, you see.
	Having a dry season is not climate change.
	That has been going on forever.
	You know, you cut open these trees and you see centuries of tree rings.
	And they're not uniform.
	It changes from year to year.
	You know, you don't like the weather?
	Wait, it'll change, as the saying goes.
	Anyway, he said, but it's poor forest management.
	He says, if you don't use methodologies to clear some of the excess product out, it's just sitting there literally as a tinderbox for a match.
	In this case, what we're seeing from Canada is fires that are largely caused by lightning or strikes with an element of very, very high fuel load.
	So, Representative Ryan Zink, Commented about this.
	He says he has zero sympathy for D.C. politicians who are complaining about the smoke.
	He says whether you're a climate change activist or a denier, it doesn't relieve you of the responsibility to manage our forests.
	He says if you don't manage our forests, this is what happens.
	And so Bernhardt also said you can see very significant differences between privately managed forests and To take advantage of these practices and federal and state lands that do not.
	And the consequences of catastrophic fire are so different and so significant.
	And this is why I've talked about this over and over again.
	I've seen many evidences of this.
	And sometimes it's not enough to take care of your own land If it gets, you know, to a certain size, it can take most of your land as well before it has a chance to be slowed down by the fact that you actually did management on your private property.
	Bernhard actually published a book talking about his struggles with the bureaucratic state, what Trump likes to say, the swamp.
	You know, all the swamp, all of the swamp is underneath the executive branch.
	He didn't drain any of it.
	He didn't pull the plug on any of it.
	The swamp is all under the executive branch.
	All of it. And so Bernhardt published a book, You Report to Me, talking about his experiences fighting these civil servants who stay there from administration to administration.
	Unelected, unaccountable, and they vastly outnumber the political appointees who are brought in to try to run this thing.
	And these people know, one of the best examples of this, my son will remember this, Yes Minister, right?
	Out of the UK. It was, I guess it was maybe back in the 80s or something.
	We watched it in rerun.
	And you got this politician who gets elected.
	And he's totally, it's like Jeeves and Worcester, you know, the butler who knows everything and this other guy who doesn't.
	This elected politician is completely reliant on this guy who's been there his entire life.
	Knows how everything operates, where everything is, and completely controls this guy.
	And it's a comedy, and it's really funny, but it's very true.
	And this is what's replicated throughout the civil service.
	These political appointees come in.
	They're temporary. They don't know what's going on.
	They're trying to figure out what the system is.
	And these people who have been there all of their life are just owning them.
	This is another reason why you can't put any confidence in anything getting fixed in Washington.
	He said, I actually had a career civil servant who had been working to clear and to reduce fuel loads in a national park, he said.
	He sent me a series of photographs of the work that they had done.
	He says, the reality is that most people that work on these lands have a very good sense of what the true impact is of catastrophic wildfire and the causes and the need to address the fuel load.
	And I'll just finish up by just, you know, the only environmental prediction that I've seen come true in the last 50 years is the one that my uncle, who was head of the Forestry Department at the University of Missouri, Columbia, And he was predicting that this would happen because of these environmentalists.
	He said, yeah, this is what forests are going to burn because of the way they're doing this.
	I'll just finish up the environmental thing here.
	This is a letter from Ty, a listener.
	He says, remember when acid rain was falling in certain areas and it was going to eventually fall everywhere and melt every one of us?
	Luckily for me, I had a science professor in the early 90s that mocked it and made very clear that That any acidity in the rain was beneficial for plant growth.
	You know, different plants. Just another scare tactic that never came to fruition.
	And now I need to figure out how the aliens will be woven into this narrative.
	Yeah, exactly right.
	Aliens are coming up. There's some new interesting revelations that they've come out with as they're leaking these things out bit by bit.
	bit.
	We'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	you Welcome back. I just had some drink that spilled all over my desk while I was doing that.
	Let's talk a little bit about what happened with the Unabomber.
	You may have seen that he died in jail at the age of 81, but he is also rumored to have committed suicide.
	And then we have some interesting excerpts from his manifesto.
	Which he threatened to take down, I believe it was an airliner, if the newspapers did not publish it.
	So we're going to get into that.
	Before we do, real quickly, let me read some of the comments here on Rumble.
	Mr. VRA says, makes sense that our throat govies would use the World War II Japanese model to start massive fires.
	Yeah, that's what they were doing.
	They were going to fly balloons that would start fires.
	The trick was on them, though, because at that point in time, we were actually doing forestry management.
	They would have had a harder time, but anyway.
	Irish Marine, 57.
	Poor forestry management is causing these fires.
	Temperatures have been moderate and moisture has been well above average this year.
	That's right. That's right.
	Where I am, that's right. I don't know what's happening in Canada, but where we are, it's been way above normal, I think.
	Certainly more than it was a year ago.
	That's all I've got to go on. But hey, these people don't have much of a trend to report anyway.
	So there you go. That's my one-year trend.
	These are the people telling us that the world is billions and billions of years old, as Carl Sagan would say over and over again.
	And yet, they've got, you know, 150 years of climate data only on the biggest cities.
	And that climate data was taken with thermometers 150 years ago, mercury thermometers.
	And they're telling us that if it changes by one degree, we're all going to die.
	Can you read a mercury thermometer to the tolerance of one degree?
	These are these idiots who think, when I was in engineering school, we had, in college, they had just, before I got there, they had just made the switch from slide rules to calculators.
	But they still had some slide rules.
	They had giant slide rules, like five feet long, for the instructor to, in one of these classes, for the instructor to show people how it worked.
	I thought it was so comical. But, you know, we had calculators and they would allow people to have...
	At first they were... They said, no, you can't use calculators or something.
	You've got to use your slide rule. I was like, what?
	What's going on? You know, they have tables for everything.
	And, you know, you would have to interpolate between the different values that were there for whatever it was that you had.
	And you use your slide rule to do the calculations and things.
	But, you know, one of the things that one of the professors said was he said, well, here's one of the reasons why I don't like calculators.
	You go through and you get something, you get an answer, and it carries it out to 12 decimal points.
	And you're dumb enough to believe that?
	You can't measure that.
	Your accuracy, he said, the nice thing about the side rules is we had three digits that we would use, and we'd put an exponential power behind it, but we'd only take three significant digits on this thing.
	And he says, and you guys think you've got 12 significant digits?
	You don't understand the limitations of the real world?
	Well, these people who are looking at these thermometers like that, they don't understand the limitations of the real world, historical stuff.
	And they didn't even bother to put the thermometers in most places other than the biggest cities, number one.
	Number two, the parallax problems that they had with it or just the resolution that they had with it.
	And the third problem is that now they are taking a lot of these temperature readings and In cities that are heat islands, even in many cases putting them out on an airplane tarmac to try to get the temperature.
	That's absolute nonsense.
	You know, there are things that you can do from satellites that are more accurate, but, you know, it is, I don't believe any of this warming stuff.
	I don't believe there is warming, frankly.
	I'm not convinced of it.
	These people want to, they write emails to each other, as they did at the University of East Anglia in the UK, and you had Michael Mann who did the The hockey stick thing for Al Gore that he made such a big deal out of in his movie.
	And they're writing emails back and forth to each other.
	Our models are not working.
	How do we hide the decline?
	They're conspiring to lie to you.
	And they're crafting foreign policy.
	And when we went in and said, we want to see your data.
	Oh, you can't see my data.
	Why are you hiding it? You're a scientist.
	You ought to be out there. They're just fundamentally liars.
	They don't believe any of this stuff.
	Anyway, Irish Marine.
	I read that one. Let's see.
	Dickon Rockfin. Strange all the evidence of mass murder events is a state secret.
	They tell us about on TV, but we get published transcripts of the damning evidence against Trump already published publicly.
	Yeah, that's right. It is interesting what they will tell us about and what they won't tell us about.
	John Henry. On Rockfan, according to the mainstream media, the fire was started with a bat that flew in from Wuhan and hit a power line.
	There you go. That's a good one.
	I like that. Okay, so...
	Oh, we're going to get some more here.
	Okay. My son said there was a conversation on Rumble about whether Trump was responsible for the jab or just a tool.
	So, yeah, the thing is, is that...
	The most charitable understanding of this is that whether he's a tool or he's a fool.
	I would say that he's a bit of both.
	You can see it in the fact that he's trapped himself with this document thing, acted very foolishly.
	But of course, he bragged about these things for two years after he left office.
	Remember, it was only just a few months ago they stopped bragging about it.
	I've got a clip. I'm father of the vaccine.
	I did this. So many people would have died if I hadn't done this.
	We would have had more people that died than in 1918 and all the rest of this.
	He sold you every lie.
	And he's acting like a clown to Fauci's straight man.
	But he kept funding it all the way.
	And so the thing I don't understand is whether or not, you know, why anybody would support this guy.
	Because either he is...
	An epic fool who can't help himself or anybody else.
	Or he's betrayed us and given everything that the globalists want.
	So anyway, the back and forth.
	I'm not really interested about going back and litigating this.
	But, you know, the bottom line is that he had the power to do something about it.
	The bottom line is that even before the election, his own people were shouting at him, Fire Fauci!
	Fire Fauci! We'll see!
	Re-elect me! We'll see!
	Really? And the only time he got upset with Fauci wasn't because Fauci was locking us down.
	It wasn't because Fauci lied to him about a vaccine that's killing people.
	He won't admit that it's killing anybody.
	He got angry with Fauci because Fauci threw shade at him.
	Oh, you don't criticize Donald without him coming after you.
	The only reason he had these disputes with Fauci was because Fauci dissed him.
	That's the only thing he cares about.
	Incapable of acting except out of his own perceived interest or self-interest or out of revenge.
	And so that's the only thing that he reacted about to Fauci.
	So let's talk about the Unabomber.
	And I like the way that Babylon Bee put this out.
	It's very sad. They said that invitations to the Unabomber's funeral have been mailed out, but nobody wants to open them.
	They did great headlines, the Babylon Bee.
	In a tragic development, invitations are sent out, but no one is willing to open one.
	They have comments from his family and the rest of this stuff.
	But... He was 81 years old, had been in jail for quite some time since the 1990s, a couple of decades.
	Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, who attacked academics, businessmen, random civilians with homemade bombs from 1978 to 1995, killing three people, injuring 23, with a stated goal of fomenting the collapse of the modern social order.
	Well, I guess if he committed suicide, he just figured that Soros can now do the job better than he can.
	So it's like I'm redundant here.
	Soros will collapse the entire modern social order with him.
	Three people familiar with the situation say that he died by suicide.
	And, of course, he had attempted suicide in the 90s when he was jailed at one point in time.
	One person, Steve Saylor, I don't know if this is true or not, Said that Kaczynski at one point thought that he was transgender.
	He had all kinds of mental issues.
	They say that he had a very high IQ. Who knows?
	But he had all kinds of psychological issues.
	Schizophrenic and all the rest of this stuff.
	So schizophrenia would fit with a transgender thing.
	But I don't know if that was true.
	This person sounds like they want to claim him as their own.
	I don't know. Only one person I saw saying this, however.
	But his manifesto, called Industrial Society and Its Future...
	Had a revival a few years ago.
	Isn't it interesting that we can't get the manifesto of that shooter in Tennessee?
	Many people suing for that, but we can't see it.
	Some leftists, and you'll see this excerpt here at informationliberation.com.
	Of course, you can find his entire manifesto online as well.
	It's pretty long. Something like 30,000 pages, if I remember correctly.
	I've got it here. But it was very prophetic.
	Listen to what he has to say about the left.
	Now, he's not a right-winger.
	He hates all of humanity.
	But he was spot-on with what he said about the left.
	Listen to this. Ted Kaczynski said some leftists may seem to oppose technology, but they will oppose it only so long as they are outsiders and the technological system is controlled by non-leftists.
	If leftism ever becomes dominant in society so that the technological system becomes a tool in the hands of leftists, They will enthusiastically use it and promote its growth.
	In doing this, they will be repeating a pattern that leftism has shown again and again in the past.
	When the Bolsheviks in Russia were outsiders, they vigorously opposed censorship and the secret police.
	They advocated self-determination for ethnic minorities and so forth.
	But as soon as they came into power themselves, they imposed a tighter censorship, created a more ruthless secret police than any that had existed under the czars, and they oppressed ethnic minorities at least as much as the czars had done.
	We've seen this, let me interject, we've seen this in South Africa too, haven't we?
	That's one of the reasons why I don't honor Nelson Mandela.
	The communists will always say this.
	Berkeley used to be the center of the free speech movement.
	Not anymore. Not when they get power.
	It's just a means for them to get power.
	It was just a means for Nelson Mandela to get power.
	And they became more ruthless with the police state, more ruthless with ethnic minorities than anybody had been before.
	Going back to Ted Kaczynski, he says, in the United States, a couple of decades ago, when leftists were a minority in our universities, leftist professors were vigorous proponents of academic freedom.
	But today in those of our universities where leftists have become dominant, of course now he's writing this back in the 90s, they're dominant in all the universities now.
	And all the universities are doing this.
	So again, you know, he wrote this decades ago.
	And, you know, he was put in jail in the 90s, so he may have written it three or four decades ago when he started the bombings in 1978.
	But he said, so where they have become dominant, where the left has taken over the university, they have shown themselves ready to take away from everyone else's academic freedom.
	This is political correctness, he said.
	The same will happen with leftists and with technology.
	They will use it to oppress everyone else if they ever get it under their own control.
	In earlier revolutions, leftists of the most power-hungry type repeatedly have first cooperated with non-leftist revolutionaries as well as with leftists of a more libertarian inclination and later have double-crossed them to seize power for themselves.
	Robespierre did this in the French Revolution.
	The Bolsheviks did it in the Russian Revolution.
	The Communists did it in Spain in 1938.
	Castro and his followers did it in Cuba.
	Given the past history of leftism, it would be utterly foolish for non-leftist revolutionaries today to collaborate with leftists.
	Various thinkers have pointed out that leftism is a kind of religion.
	He said, Leftism is not a religion in the strict sense because leftist doctrine does not postulate the existence of any supernatural being, but for the leftist.
	Leftism plays a psychological role, much like that which religion plays for some people.
	See, the reality is, let me interject here, our hearts are idol factories.
	We're going to worship something, right?
	Right? Worship money, drugs, sex, ourselves, politicians, whatever.
	We're going to find something that is going to be the thing.
	Going back to City Slickers, the guy said Billy Crystal, there's one thing.
	And we're going to worship that one thing.
	The leftist needs, put that in all uppercase, needs to believe in leftism.
	It plays a vital role in his psychological economy.
	His beliefs are not easily modified by logic or by facts.
	He has a deep conviction that leftism is morally right with a capital R, and that he has not only a right but a duty to impose leftist morality on everyone.
	He said we use, of course, the term leftism because we don't know of any better words.
	They reject that label. They are the ones who will create the labels, by the way.
	He doesn't say that. They love to label everybody else, but they don't like to be labeled.
	We use that to designate the spectrum of related creeds that include the feminist, gay rights, political correctness, etc.
	movements. Leftism, said Kaczynski, is a totalitarian force.
	Wherever leftism is in a position of power, it tends to invade every private corner and force every thought into a leftist mold.
	And part of this is because of the quasi-religious character of leftism.
	Everything contrary to the leftist belief represents sin.
	More importantly, leftism is a totalitarian force because of the left's drive for power.
	See, that's what they worship.
	The leftist seeks to satisfy his need for power through identification with a social movement, and he tries to go through the power process by helping to pursue and attain the goals of the movement.
	But no matter how far the movement has gone in attaining its goal, the leftist is never satisfied because his activism is a surrogate activity.
	That is, the left's real motive is not to attain the ostensible goals of leftism.
	In reality, he is motivated by the sense of power that he gets from struggling for it and then reaching a social goal.
	Consequently, the leftist is never satisfied with the goals he's already obtained.
	His need for the power process leads him always to pursue some new goal.
	Here's the way it's been said.
	I heard Doug Wilson say that.
	He says it's not about this person's pronouns, for example.
	Right? They use their pronouns and then they'll think of something else to do.
	It's not about the pronouns.
	It's not about their feelings. It's not about any of that stuff.
	It's about getting you to do what they want you to do.
	And that's exactly what Ted Kaczynski said.
	Because it's quite obviously true.
	We can all see it, can't we?
	It goes on, and this is the last one here, wrapping it up.
	So suppose you ask leftists to make a list of all the things that were wrong with society, and then suppose that you instituted every social change that they demanded.
	It is safe to say that within a couple of years, the majority of leftists would find something new to complain about, some new social evil to correct, because once again, the leftist is motivated less by distress at society'sills than by the need to satisfy his hunger for the leftist is motivated less by distress at society'sills than by the need to satisfy his hunger So, this excerpt was put in there by Information Liberation.
	I imagine, I haven't read his entire manifesto, it's 30,000 words, and...
	So I haven't read all of it, but I would imagine that he probably comes after conservatives the same way.
	And his key thing was he was concerned about technology.
	And in a sense, it was kind of interesting.
	His bombing campaign was preceded...
	What you see in Terminator. Remember in Terminator?
	You have Sarah Connors decides in the second one that she's going to take out the people that were producing the key technology that created Skynet.
	She was going to take out those scientists.
	Remember that? And, of course, they pull it back.
	One of the scientists, they realize, is a nice guy, and he actually turns and helps them and that type of thing, so they don't have to kill him.
	But that was what she was going to do, destroy the facilities and destroy the scientists and that sort of thing, which really wouldn't change anything in the long run.
	The same things would have been discovered by other people.
	But I think that probably influenced the script writing on that.
	Ted Kaczynski, I've always thought that when I saw it.
	But Sarah Connor, mimicking him.
	In this 30,000-word document, he claimed a moral high ground, justifying the attacks in the name of preserving humanity and nature from the onslaught of technology and exploitation.
	He said, I believe in nothing.
	I don't even believe in the cult of nature worshipers or wilderness worshipers.
	I am perfectly ready to litter in parts of the woods that are of no use to me.
	I often throw cans and logged over areas, he said.
	So this is a guy who has a lot in common with open AI in the sense that he can see all these things.
	And he can put together some penetrating observations, and yet he doesn't get the big picture.
	He had absolutely no purpose in life.
	He believed in nothing. And so as a result, he kind of began to hate everything.
	And then himself hated his life and committed suicide.
	It was a tip from his brother that led to his arrest in 1996.
	The family has claimed that the writings reflected the mind of a paranoid schizophrenic, not of a cold-blooded killer.
	A federal prison psychiatrist agreed.
	Yeah, here's the thing.
	You know, if you're going to start sending letter bombs to people you don't even know, I guess you are certifiable crazy anyway, right?
	I've always said that about people who kill.
	Somebody who murders somebody else is not in their right mind.
	You know, even if they're cold, calculated, premeditated murder, they're still sick, right?
	And so I've never really understood the insanity defense, quote-unquote.
	Seems to me that any killer could be declared to be insane.
	A federal prison psychiatrist agreed.
	They dropped the demands for the death sentence.
	They gave him eight life sentences, making sure that he would never get out of jail.
	Which, in a way, was a greater punishment for him, in this life anyway.
	It did give him some time to believe in something.
	But like so many people, he did not use that time to investigate in the realities of God or to make any adjustment or preparation for that.
	And so he suffered there in prison for decades before he killed himself in despair.
	And I'm sure he's suffering even more now.
	At the sentencing hearing, Susan Mosser, who lost her husband in one of the attacks, That's where the devil belongs, she said. Her husband, Thomas, a New Jersey advertising executive, was killed with a package bomb in 1994.
	She spoke above occasional sobs in the courtroom, noting that her 15-month-old daughter, Kelly, had watched her father bleed after the bomb went off.
	No, no.
	Not my daddy. He can be right academically cold about these other things.
	You see, because he didn't believe in God, he didn't believe in the value of human life.
	How different is he from people who rip babies apart?
	If you don't value human life, we turn into the Unabomber.
	Or we turn into an abortionist.
	So he knew about the liberal universities because he had a...
	He'd been working at the University of California, Berkeley.
	And then quit his job.
	He was on track to get tenure.
	And moved to Montana.
	Lived in a 13 by 13 foot shack.
	And the only purpose in his life...
	Was to kill other people.
	In 1999, after he'd had suicide attempts already, he told Time magazine he would rather get the death penalty than spend the rest of my life in prison.
	But he did spend the rest of his life in prison until he killed himself.
	We'll be right back. Analyzing
	The Globalist Next Move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	you you Welcome back. Guard Goldsmith left a comment.
	Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that on Rockfin.
	And, you know, Gard has not been feeling well lately, but he went for four hours on his show.
	Liberty Conspiracy, you'll see that the other night because I got involved in discussion.
	That's just how passionate he is about all this stuff and really well-informed.
	But he said, Happy Monday, David.
	Thanks for starting the week with a burst of insights and info.
	I've been listening. Just got the chance to write.
	Kudos for your work and getting the big picture and for the Mohicans recording.
	Wow, it's been one of my favorite soundtracks for years.
	We'll be listening as I stitch my moccasins.
	It's been one of my favorite soundtracks, one of my favorite movies.
	And I've wanted to put it in for a while.
	But, you know, it was actually...
	The real haunting melody that was there, of course, what I had there was, I changed things around a bit, but I pulled it off a recording of, you know, I didn't, it's not a recording, it's a, I actually, we did it with, I did it with my stuff, but I kind of roughly based it on Fort Battle, is what the name of the track is off the soundtrack.
	Because I wanted something that was a bit more upbeat.
	As much as I like it, it really has to go for a while longer than we have for this.
	And so I thought something that was punchy that was shorter would be better, so I changed it around a little bit.
	But it's interesting that that song actually is from Gael, as in Gaelic, G-A-E-L. And it was from a Scottish pop artist, very popular in Scotland.
	And they pulled it over and adapted it for that film.
	And it really did work well.
	I just always loved Last of the Mohicans.
	I loved the... Historical setting.
	I love the setting here in the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina.
	And, you know, it's just beautifully done.
	Great love story. Great history story.
	An interesting story about the beginning of our country and the interplay and the mixture of the different Indian tribes with the settlers and the interplay between the Americans who had lived here for a long time, you know, just before the American Revolution in 1757 is when that's happening.
	And as they're starting to see themselves as different from this British Empire, all of that.
	It's an amazing movie.
	One of my favorites, for sure.
	And John John says, Theodore Ted Kaczynski, while in college, was said to have been the subject of the CIA MK Ultra Mind Control Program.
	The experiment Ted Kaczynski participated in at Harvard involved psychological torment and humiliation.
	Yeah, yeah, probably so.
	That's something that I've not followed his story that much, but yes, they did a lot of that.
	Guard Goldsmith says Kaczynski's life was darkly influenced.
	He turned that darkness onto many innocent people.
	My sister knew one of his targets.
	Such a tragic story. Yes, it is.
	And he also says it definitely seems like, you know, it was something like an MKUltra type of thing.
	And some comments about the fires.
	Irish Marine 57 says the fuel will either be removed by proper forestry management or wildfires will remove it.
	That's right. With all that dead wood on the ground, one lightning strike is all you need.
	Yep, yep.
	And John Henry, 3777, says, David, Trump didn't mean he was going to drain the swamp.
	He meant he was going to drain the budget.
	He did that really well, didn't he?
	Yeah, he knows how to bankrupt things, doesn't he?
	Morally bankrupt, financially bankrupt, politically bankrupt, you name it.
	Trump and DeSantis are at war over the COVID responses.
	As he keeps, you know, they keep throwing this thing back and forth.
	And isn't it interesting that Trump is criticizing Ron DeSanctimonious for doing what Trump is telling everybody to do and giving them money to do it?
	And of course, he was really kind of the last guy in the first, you know, talking accounting terms, right?
	You have last in, first out, LIFO. Well, he was kind of the last end of this scheme and the first one out.
	But Trump is still coming after him.
	He responded and said, he literally moved his entire family here.
	He thinks it was crazy.
	Why would he do that? And then, of course, last week, and it's recounted in this article, the fact that Trump said that Cuomo did a better job than DeSantis.
	Well, only if you lie about the statistics, which was a key part of this whole lockdown thing.
	That was one of the things that the Trump administration, everybody in it, not just Fauci, everybody in it.
	Redfield, Birx, Fauci, everybody, including Trump, was lying about the pandemic and then lying about the poison that they were creating, telling you that you had to do that.
	So yeah, under Ron DeSanctimonious as governor, Florida was the third worst state in deaths by COVID. Right?
	No? Nope.
	You rigged the shots while you were rigging us to kill us with the shots, is what was happening here.
	And in this story, they point out in 2020, New York had the highest number of reported COVID deaths.
	Florida was fourth.
	The Sunshine State has significantly lower death rate than in New York.
	But, of course, none of these things compare to the death rates today with the Trump shot.
	That's the amazing thing, that Trump would think that this is a winning position.
	Truly amazing. But that's the way the guy is.
	DeSantis said it was a difficult situation.
	We didn't have all the facts.
	But we all have to sit here today in 2023, look back on March of 2020, and say Fauciism was wrong.
	Fauciism was destructive.
	But understand that it is not about one guy.
	This is something that was planned for decades.
	It is systemic.
	And it is a disservice for us to think that this is about one guy.
	They want to make it that way.
	Because they want you to believe that one guy can now save us.
	In the Biden White House, however, they are still, listen to this, enforcing wearing of masks and social distancing if you are unvaccinated.
	Did you realize this? I didn't.
	I mean, it's now been a couple of months back in April that Biden ended Trump's Emergency executive order.
	You know, I haven't been doing that countdown, you know, day whatever of us being held hostage.
	So we ended it a couple of months ago, but they just had a college athlete day and they put out instructions for any athletes who are coming in.
	You better be vaccinated or you're going to have to wear a mask and you have to be social distancing.
	According to the White House, while lawmakers are not required to receive a COVID test in advance of the event, they will need to wear a mask also and socially distance if they are unvaccinated.
	And here it is from Fox News.
	Masking guidance.
	This is from the White House. Fully vaccinated guests are not required to wear a mask on the White House grounds.
	Guests who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times and maintain at least six feet distance.
	And you must also recite arbitrary poems and the rest of this stuff on cue.
	I mean, it's so ridiculous.
	Everything about this. The magic six feet and all the rest of this.
	Well, heart failure deaths in the UK in May were 44% higher than before the pandemic.
	Higher than they were in 2020 and all the rest of the stuff.
	It's one of the things I remember, and I've mentioned it many times, about how the CDC was lying to everybody and saying there's more people dying of COVID than are dying from heart disease and from cancer.
	And I saw Mike Adams putting that up and hectoring everybody and scaring everybody over this stuff.
	It shook my head.
	I cannot believe it. I still can't believe it.
	Anyway, but you know, it is true now that Trump is killing people more with his injections.
	People are having more heart attacks and more cancer than ever before.
	Because of his injection, even as he was telling people and his administration back in 2020 that it was a bigger killer than heart attacks and cancer.
	Well, now it's just the opposite. And again, 44% higher in the UK. So the response from the FDA is to say, we need to double down on censorship, you see?
	These people are never going to give up.
	The Biden administration is still masking people who are unvaccinated, still social distancing people if they come to the White House.
	The FDA, as everybody else is looking at this and saying, why do we have 50% more heart attacks than we did before the pandemic?
	And why do we have all these massive excess deaths that began in 2021, around the time you started mandating them for everybody?
	They don't want you talking about that.
	So now the FDA is pledging to stop the spread of misinformation.
	Not to stop the spread of the Trump killing shots, right?
	But to stop the spread of anybody talking about that.
	This is where our government is right now.
	They really are absolutely unrepentant about it.
	Jeffrey Tucker writes, he says, the FDA is coming very close to saying that if the government does not confirm it, it is not true.
	First time I heard such a preposterous claim was from Jab Senda Arden, the one-time dictator of New Zealand, who flat-out told the national media that the government would, quote, continue to be the one source of truth, unquote.
	Ministry of truth, right?
	He said, when I heard that, I immediately assumed that she would be shouted down by every civilized person on the planet, but that did not happen.
	Just the opposite happened.
	She instead was lauded in praise and won a top speaking spot at Harvard, was cheered by know-nothing students, and now the British royal family has conferred on her the title Dame.
	Oh, there's nothing like a day.
	And send her back to the South Pacific.
	This woman is probably the single most hated leader in the whole of that country's history.
	Yet King Charles has decided that her service is worthy of a royal title.
	Well, of course he would, because he himself is one of the most hated people.
	Birds of a feather flock together, so do dictators.
	This censorship stuff is no longer an aberration, says Jeffrey Tucker.
	It's no longer a mistake.
	It was made in a panic.
	You understand that? You see how cold and calculated this is?
	Three years on. Everybody knows that this...
	The only reason that the masks have stopped is because people refuse to comply with it.
	And so they put a brave face on it and said, well, see, it worked.
	And so they had to back off because people were not complying.
	This is the way you shut this thing down.
	This is the way it could have been shut down from the very beginning.
	If we'd refused to march to their orders, They would have backed off and tried to save face.
	All this stuff is face-saving.
	Except when they get a situation where, oh, I really want to go to the White House.
	Why? Well, you know, I've always wanted to go to the White House and have my picture taken, being given a medal like I'm Forrest Gump or something, right?
	Forrest Gump was not that stupid.
	Well, I don't know. Maybe he would have been.
	The censorship stuff is no longer an aberration, a mistake made in panic, a secret plot to violate settled norms, or something about which these people are embarrassed.
	Censorship has become the main agenda of many governments in the world today.
	It is being codified by the European Union, promoted by NATO, institutionalized in every regulatory bureaucracy, and I would add in every country.
	That's what's happening.
	Jeffrey Tucker says we must realize these efforts can no longer be written off as weird aberrations.
	The push is organized, it's focused, it's intense.
	It involves security agencies at the highest level.
	They have made their peace with the idea of hardcore censorship, and they will push it as far as it can go.
	The government has effectively announced that it considers free speech to be a pandemic.
	And we know how they deal with pandemics, with lockdowns.
	Take a quick break.
	We'll be right back.
	Music. Music. Music. Music. Music. . . .
	Using free speech to free minds.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Let's talk a little bit about how they are moving towards this global governance and understand the global governance is going to be a combination of multinational corporations and then the appearance of national governments, but it's really going to be how they come together through organizations like the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg, These various organizations, that's how they broker this stuff together.
	That's how they partner with them.
	And of course, as I've said before, they have to do it right now this way because the billionaires have so much money and they don't have the ability yet to tax us directly.
	So they need them to make this work.
	And of course, they can shove this down our throats and they don't care.
	And so I thought it was kind of interesting that Brandon Smith had the same take on all this ESG stuff That I've had on this.
	Why corporations are doubling down on WOKE even as they lose billions.
	Well, this has always been the plan.
	And of course, they're not losing billions.
	It's that they don't see you as a customer because you're not their customer.
	Their customer is Washington and Wall Street, or just say governments and markets, stock markets.
	And not even the stock markets, but the people like Larry Fink at BlackRock.
	Listen to the way Bill Gates put it when he talked about ESG. Well, BlackRock and Larry in particular are a great example of private sector leadership.
	Anyone who says that climate should be a factor in how you evaluate the future of a company, that's not capitalism because companies that have emissions, they are going to be subject to border adjustment tariffs or Taxes.
	You also have to think about companies.
	You know, if you're dealing with severe weather events, that's got to be factored in.
	Yeah, this is kind of like saying, you know, we gave you a choice.
	You could either get the vaccine or you could lose your job.
	That's your choice. You decided that you, you know, want to do one or the other.
	But we're not coercing anybody, right?
	And so what he's talking about here is simply the coercion.
	He's not talking about anything that's real, and he knows it.
	There isn't any environmental thing, and the ESG part of it is social.
	That's not a threat to anybody either.
	And, of course, Biden is down with that as well, but Larry Fink, I'll just play this for you.
	I played it on Friday. He said it right out.
	This is 2017.
	Larry Fink, who's head of BlackRock, and they own more of these big companies' stock than anybody else, and they can bankrupt you at that point.
	You think it's a big deal that people are boycotting Bud Light?
	They can handle that. They can handle a drop in 30% in sales and still give $200,000 to one of these organizations.
	Here's Larry Fink. You now make a point of that's an investment criteria for you.
	Well, behaviors are going to have to change, and this is one thing we're asking companies.
	You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock we are forcing behaviors.
	54% of the incoming class are women.
	We added four more points in terms of diverse employment this year.
	What we're doing internally is if you don't achieve these levels of Impact, your compensation could be impacted, okay?
	We're doing the same thing. And so it's just, you have to force behaviors.
	And if you don't force behaviors, whether it's gender or race or just any way you want to say the composition of your team, you're going to be impacted.
	And that's just not recruiting.
	It is development, as Ken said.
	And ultimately, it's still going to take time.
	But I am just as much shocked as Ken is that we have not seen more opportunities.
	Yeah, more opportunities.
	More opportunities to force people to do what we want them to do.
	You see, Bill Gates is trying to put a polite spin on it, but that's not what it's about.
	Finally, let me play for you what Biden had to say.
	I just signed this veto because the legislation passed by the Congress would put at risk the retirement savings of individuals across the country.
	They couldn't take into consideration investments that wouldn't be impacted by climate, impacted by overpaying executives, and that's why I decided to veto it.
	It makes sense to veto it.
	So who decides that this is going to impact climate?
	Well, you know, he would.
	Who decides what's true?
	Who decides what the taxes are going to be, right?
	He does. Oh, I did this to protect people, right?
	Yeah, government is a protection racket, isn't it?
	Always is. Aaron Moss, big corporations depend on loans.
	That's right. And, you know, the investments by people like BlackRock.
	You know, the three biggest ones, BlackRock, Vanguard, and one other, they have about $30 trillion worth of investments in these companies.
	So you think your boycott of Target is going to make any difference to Target?
	If they can make BlackRock happy?
	They got one customer, Larry Fink, that they're interested in.
	And he's got ideas about what he wants them to do.
	Rhonda Tate says if corporations don't play ball, they won't get the loans and the perks.
	We mean nothing, and we're not winning in this.
	You know, they can't get money, they lose.
	Well, we'll see what happens.
	That's where they get the money from. They get the money, again, from Larry Fink.
	They get them started just like the intelligence agencies got these internet companies started, and then they can put out a nice story.
	They have big guys like Fink and the rest of them like them.
	Look at what we got.
	We're doing this. They can put out a nice story.
	They can raise unlimited amounts of money on Wall Street.
	It's the same as if they were the federal government printing paper.
	And then, of course, the federal government will make sure that they get the contracts and all the rest of the stuff.
	The converse is, That they will shut down all of those avenues of money if you don't do what they want.
	SolarCat says, BlackRock enforcing wickedness on corporations.
	Yes, exactly. Appropriate name, isn't it?
	Caught between a BlackRock and a hard place.
	Syrian girl, maybe our boycotts can't offset BlackRock, but we should still do them.
	I agree. I agree. Force these corporations into a corner where government is their only customer.
	I agree, and we ought to do it just from a standpoint of not participating, not living along with the lie.
	That is not a futile exercise, frankly.
	So... YJ72 asks, with the Biden policy, they don't define what is fully vaccinated, right?
	Is that five times or six times?
	How many times do you get that?
	My son says vaccines are like a box of chocolates.
	You never know what you're going to get next.
	Yeah, that's right. Which adverse effect you're going to get next.
	So, yeah, forced behavior is coercion.
	Yeah. PNG Pooh 6 says, that's right, it is not choice.
	So ESG is not going to go away on its own, says Brandon.
	Says, woke ideology is not going to go away on its own.
	These structures will have to be destroyed, but you can't rebel against a structure that you rely on for your daily survival.
	So you have to first separate from it, and that's the key thing.
	You know, we need to separate from I talked earlier about artificial intelligence and about how it was hallucinating.
	We talk about how this ESG is a distortion of reality.
	Well, there's something else that they're claiming distorted reality.
	We have some new tidbits that are being leaked out to us by the spies and our government saying that this crashed UFO recovered by the U.S. military distorted space and time.
	This is something that has been talked about for a very long time by people observing it, even Christian people who have looked at this and said, well, I think this is demonic, but that they're also existing in a different set of dimensions or outside of just the four dimensions that we have in terms of space and time.
	That allows them to do the types of things that they do, to disappear and reappear and things like that, and yet still be tangible.
	There's another dimension to it.
	So a lot of people have thought of that.
	But now we have this new report, and I guess it's kind of up to you as to whether or not you think this is some kind of a hallucination from these people, some kind of a fabrication like artificial intelligence.
	Are they channeling their chat GPT? It's out there.
	This is the lawyer for, and we can trust the spies at the CIA not to lie to us about space aliens, right?
	Says my son. Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, when they tell you the truth about 9-11 and, you know, talk about these...
	Unidentified falling objects, you know, the three buildings that fell with two planes hitting two of the skyscrapers almost immediately, you know, within a few hours.
	When they want to tell us the truth about the unidentified falling objects, then we can think about believing them on some of the other stuff.
	And you look at this guy, this lawyer, pull up the article there, Daniel Sheehan, and take a look at this lawyer.
	I mean, he does look like Doctor Who, doesn't he?
	The Doctor Who that I remember...
	I haven't really watched it. I remember when it came on in the 80s.
	We had some friends who were big...
	Doctor Who fans, they were British when I first started work at Texas Instruments.
	They brought in a bunch of people where I was working from a lot of different countries.
	And people from England and Germany and France and Japan.
	I was there as the American.
	We were learning this system that we had.
	But anyway, these guys that we got to know from England, they were all about Doctor Who.
	They thought it was the greatest thing.
	And this guy, this lawyer, Daniel Sheehan, looks like...
	An aged Tom Baker.
	The one guy that I think made it probably popular.
	But anyway, he said the Department of Defense says that it is not discovered.
	Well, he didn't say this. They replied to this.
	I said they haven't discovered any verifiable information to support these claims.
	However, he was saying that whistleblowers like Grush, I am Grush, and Congress, in an attempt to expose what he believes is a government cover-up Of encounters with extraterrestrials.
	And again, this guy Grouch, which also doesn't do anything for his credibility, in my opinion, worked with the Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the kind of secret one that has been behind all the stuff about identifying people, anticipatory intelligence, I was talking about at the beginning of the program.
	So he said, so they found one of these crashed saucers.
	It was about 30 feet, he said, partially embedded in the earth.
	And it had fantastical properties.
	They tried to hook a bulldozer to it and pull it out, and it pulled out a shape like a pie slice, almost like it was part of the way that it was constructed.
	And in my mind, I can see the day the earth stood still.
	Which is, again, you look at this and it's like, are these people just making this stuff up like ChatGPT?
	You know, they saw the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and it's got like this pie-shaped section that comes out and it opens up and then Gort walks out.
	Gort! Klatata! What is it?
	Gort! Klatu Verata Nikto is what he said.
	Yeah. Anyway, did they try that?
	I don't know. But anyway, it starts to pull it out.
	It opens it up. So one of the guys goes inside.
	So we stopped pulling it out because we didn't want to tear it up.
	We didn't want to destroy the integrity of the machine.
	So we stopped that.
	And they had a guy go into it.
	He said he got into it and it was as big as a football stadium.
	It was freaking him out and he started making him feel nauseous.
	He said he was so disoriented because it was so gigantic inside.
	It was the size of a football stadium while the outside was only about 30 feet in diameter.
	This is why the Doctor Who reference, I was actually going to come in with the Doctor Who music, and I forgot to put it in the board today.
	But, Grush, Klatu, Varada, Nikto, yeah.
	I am Grush. So anyway, he goes in, and he says, you know, on the outside it's only 30 feet, but I get in and it's as big as a football stadium.
	And it starts to make me feel disoriented because it's so big.
	You always have that experience, don't you?
	When you go into a football stadium, it always makes me disoriented because it's so big.
	Anyway, he says he staggered back out after being in there for just a couple of minutes, but outside it was four hours later.
	There's all kinds of time distortion and space distortion.
	So it's four hours later. He's been gone for four hours according to his buddy's time.
	This thing is not moving, so we're not talking about Einstein's relativity effect.
	You've got different speed going.
	If you travel for years at the speed of light, you come back to the twin paradox, and your twin on Earth is older than you or something like that.
	No, that's stationary. But anyway, what I thought was interesting was that even though he was gone for four hours, His buddies didn't go looking for him.
	They didn't call to him or anything.
	What's going on with that?
	Right? So just for four hours, he says, oh, well, you know, I guess Joe's gone.
	I guess they're doing some body probes on him.
	We'll see what happens when he comes out.
	They don't do anything at all about it for four hours.
	Does this sound reasonable to you?
	I mean, there's all kinds of holes in these stories.
	Anyway, the lack of details.
	The documents and the photos are leading skeptics This is a story from the Daily Mail.
	Leading skeptics to dismiss as tall tales the stories of off-world UFOs stored by secret government programs.
	No, I think it's just another, you know, one of these chat GPT type of things.
	These guys are just mimicking what they've seen before, I think.
	Military intelligence officials who have voiced their support for Grouch since he came forward publicly point out that he has placed himself at considerable risk if he is lying.
	Really? You mean like James Clapper, that other guy who used to be his boss at the Geospatial Intelligence Agency?
	James Clapper who lied to the country?
	Under oath? Lied to Congress?
	On television? Saying we're not doing any of this stuff and a couple of weeks later you have Ed Snowden releasing the documents that show that he was lying and you know for five years until the statute of limitations ran out Nobody, not Republican or Democrat, not conservative, not liberal, nobody in Congress ever suggested that James Clapper should be tried for perjury.
	Nobody in media, except for me, that I'm aware of, said that he had to be tried for perjury.
	I said it over and over and over again.
	Maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm so beloved by YouTube.
	They love me at YouTube.
	They follow me everywhere I go.
	But, you know, James Clapper didn't face any consequences for lying to people about something that was really substantive, right?
	It matters a lot more to me whether the government is watching me than it does whether the Chinese are watching me or whether the space aliens are watching me, right?
	It matters a lot more to me.
	But there's nothing about that.
	As I said before, when these spies start telling us the truth about 9-11, then I will believe what they have to say.
	But they go on to say, they said, well, I know of at least 12 to 15 craft.
	There were at least four morphologies, more shapes, different structures.
	Six were in good shape.
	Six were not in good shape.
	There were cases where the craft landed and the occupants left the craft unoccupied.
	But if there were cases where it crashed...
	Then, is the next little tidbit, you know, breadcrumb, that they're going to throw to us, is that going to be now the occupants that were captured or the bodies without showing any evidence or whatever?
	And if they showed something, would you believe it?
	Anyway, that'll be the next sensational detail that's going to be leaked, I think, as they're talking about how we recovered craft.
	And they're just, you know...
	Just leaving this out by dribs and drabs here and there.
	We'll be right back.
	Show, we've got a problem.
	What? Who are you?
	It's the new mug they're selling at the DavidKnightShow.com, right?
	So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right?
	Right, 'cause basically you can't hold coffee with your hands, right?
	I'm a it's scatly, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm being ready for it, you dog-faced pony soldier.
	They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world.
	This could be bad for us.
	Save the world?
	But we owe the world.
	These people, they're supporting free speech with every month they buy.
	Come on. These people, I tell you, well, anyway.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, my son had some great comments.
	I just saw them now.
	He puts them on the board. I wish I could get him on the mic to talk, but he says, can a UFO fuel melt steel beams?
	Evidently, I guess. And he says, with this guy being gone for four hours, hey, has anybody seen Grouchy?
	He went in a secret UFO a couple hours ago.
	It must be really interesting in there, but, you know, otherwise they don't really care.
	I mean, come on.
	Seriously. Uh, what is the situation?
	I mean, so you got this UFO that's crashed 30 feet.
	And, um, what is it?
	Is it like two or three guys that show up to look at it?
	Or do they have the thing surrounded with, uh, tanks and flamethrowers, all their weapons, you know, like the typical, uh, science fiction movie, you know, day the earth stood still, or, um, you know, uh, Mars attacks or something like that.
	I mean, what do you, what do you imagine that scenario to be?
	It just doesn't ring, it really does sound like a chat GPT thing that they're putting out there.
	But while we're talking about artificial intelligence, well, we've got one more comment here.
	Irish Marines, Marine 57.
	I've noticed that over the past few years, UFO quote-unquote documentaries have exploded in a number on subscription services like Prime and Netflix.
	It'll be their next crisis to massively inflate the debt.
	Oh, I agree. They're up to something with this, all right?
	I spoke at a conference that was run by Steve Quayle.
	A few years ago. And there was...
	He takes...
	I didn't really know what was going on at the conference.
	He just asked me to speak and I went.
	And it surprised me how much they were into UFOs.
	And it also surprised me That he had a guy there, because they were coming at things, you know, from a biblical perspective, you know, talking about Nephilim and giants and UFOs and things like that, in a sense.
	But there was some really crazy stuff, you know, when I was sitting there, and I'm in the second row.
	I was about to speak, or I had spoken.
	I don't remember which one it was, but...
	You know, it was several thousand people that were there.
	And Steve Quayle is talking about how he believes that we've already been to Mars and back.
	And he says, so do you believe this?
	And he looks at him, do you believe this?
	I said, no. You had to give me some evidence, right?
	I mean, it's like you're telling me that you walked onto a spaceship and it's bigger than a football field on the side.
	Do you believe that? And it's like...
	Well, that's just you saying it.
	Give me some background on this.
	But he had a guy that was there that was all about UFOs and disclosure.
	And that's like, disclosure's coming, disclosure's coming, all this stuff.
	And I sat next to him the night before at a dinner, and he, like, hectored me the entire time about UFOs and disclosure.
	And I said, well, I can believe that it's some demonic thing.
	No, no, no, no. I don't believe in God.
	This is, it's like, well, you know, fine, whatever.
	But I said, it's going to be used.
	I said, the whole thing is a deception, you know, a mischaracterization of what these things are, I believe.
	And it's got, they've got some nefarious goals and all this kind of stuff.
	But, you know, these people are looking at, you know, UFO disclosure.
	And it really is a feeding frenzy.
	And it's been going back for a very, very, very long time.
	You know, the middle of the 20th century, you started seeing this stuff.
	You know, you go back to the 1920s and 30s, they started talking about their vision of the technocracy where the technological elite would rule everybody else with their superior technology.
	And then, you know, some of the stuff about how they thought they were going to live forever if they converge with machines, that type of thing.
	Then in the middle of the 20th century, after World War II, You know, The Day of the Earth Stood Still, but Robert Wise, you know, that became kind of seminal, a lot of copycats, but that same general theme was there.
	And then you had Arthur C. Clarke, who was part of the, you know, 2001 Space Odyssey.
	He's also part of these technological elite, like I pointed out last week.
	He wrote a book or a series of books.
	I think it was just, I don't care if it was one.
	I think it was just one. Childhood's End.
	And in that, he comes up with an interesting combination of space aliens that Americans, Earthlings, perceive as being demonic.
	You know, they walk off of the spaceship and they look like the medieval images of Satan with the horns and the cloven feet and the red skin and the tail and all this other kind of stuff, right?
	And they come from a planet that is always on fire and all that.
	So he tried to retrofit and explain, you know, Genesis and the Bible and all the rest of the stuff into ufology, you know, their kind of mythology around UFOs.
	And that's kind of the way that I see this type of thing happening.
	You know, that's the way they're going to portray this so they can get people to follow their one-world religion, in my opinion.
	That's just my educated guess.
	I'm not a prophet about this.
	I'm not Julie Green.
	I'm not prophesying that the aliens will win re-election.
	I'm not saying that Hillary Clinton is one of them.
	Although, just joking, just joking.
	I read that Babylon Bee story in the Daily Mail game after me, trying to get me thrown off at Twitter.
	But they got me shadowbanned anyway.
	AI has assumed the role of preacher in a packed church.
	This is in Germany. I mentioned this at the beginning of the program.
	St. Paul's Church in Firth, Bavaria.
	Had an unusual scene last Friday as 300 faithful parishioners gathered not for a traditional sermon, but for a technological experiment, an artificial intelligence chatbot assuming the role of the preacher.
	And so they had it read, you know, some generated computer faces, two male, two female, reading a sermon to people that was written by ChatGPT.
	The AI, adopting the image of a bearded black man first, addressed the crowd in Germany.
	Dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence at this year's convention of Protestants in Germany.
	It was a 40-minute-long service, a medley of prayer, music, and spiritual reflection organized by a 29-year-old theologian and philosopher.
	And you know, he says, I conceived this service, but actually I rather accompanied it because I would say about 98% comes from the machine.
	So what's the purpose of this guy?
	This theologian, this philosopher, right?
	He's just showing everybody how useless he is.
	You got a lot of chatty seminar graduates who don't believe in God.
	Clearly unregenerate this AI is.
	It doesn't even have a soul to regenerate, right?
	And it's like a lot of the people who are actually running these dead churches, being run by dead people who are just recombining and repeating, regurgitating what they have come across in seminary.
	Same type of stuff that ChatGPT does.
	And it's been done for quite a while by a lot of these unregenerate pastors and unregenerate dead churches.
	And so now why not do that?
	It's a logical approach.
	And this guy's working himself out of a job.
	And nobody will notice a difference, right?
	This is the Deutsche Evangelische Kirchen Tag, which means the German Evangelical Church Day.
	A bi-annual event that attracts tens of thousands of Christians.
	This year's discussions range from pressing global issues like the war in Ukraine and climate change to To the intriguing concept of AI and religious context.
	You see, this is why the church is dying.
	It's all right. Well, are you dead?
	So, you know, the only thing that's left is to tell the AI, write me some contemporary Christian music about how Jesus is my boyfriend.
	And they'll be done.
	You will completely replicate the church without having to get any actual flesh and blood people in there.
	And it'll be... Anyway, the ChatGPT was then tasked with designing the rest of the service, including psalms, prayers, and concluding blessing.
	So he said, I told the AI we are at a church congress.
	You are a preacher.
	What would a church service look like?
	So, you know, when you reject the Bible as your standard, where are you going to go to get something to fill in the power vacuum that's there, right?
	A 59-year-old participant said there was no heart and no soul.
	Well, that's a good reason for that.
	The avatars showed no emotion at all, but when they get emotional, right?
	Oh, well, then, you know, people will believe them.
	So, while AI can create a facsimile of a traditional church service, as he pointed out, it cannot replicate the deep personal relationships that form the core of a religious community.
	Well, that's a big part of it, but that's only one aspect of it, right?
	That's the horizontal aspect, and that's a very important aspect.
	But there's also the vertical part.
	And when you look through all this, what is missing in all this discussion is God.
	As Solzhenitsyn said, we have forgotten God.
	Narrow Way, Narrow Gate Ministries says there are no quote-unquote aliens.
	It's all deception, a ruse, a begomit, a bewitching.
	They are the fallen angels with Satan's demonic spirits.
	I agree. That's the way they're going to present themselves.
	You know, they present themselves long ago as a panoply of gods and things like that.
	Irish Marines 57, as someone who was in the military intelligence for six years, I'm highly suspicious of this mid-level officer, quote-unquote, whistleblower.
	If I had to guess, I'd say he's part of the propaganda to create a crisis.
	Also, I agree with that, as a matter of fact.
	My son says, was it what Jesus said when he said, wherever two or three machines are gathered in my name, there I will be also?
	Yeah, that's what they'll wind up having.
	Just crazy.
	Anyway, but that's one kind of danger, right?
	Spiritual danger. But there's also physical danger that is trying to be highlighted by CNN. And this is a story that was on CNN. It was picked up by the Drudge Report.
	One of the most dangerous hours in America is now 11 o'clock on Sunday morning.
	What they're trying to do is to scare you off from going to church, right?
	Just like PBS and NPR did that during the pandemic.
	You know, the most dangerous place that you could be with this is church.
	You know, people are there and they're singing and stuff like that.
	Oh, you're going to die if you go there.
	This is what CNN is doing now.
	CNN actually wants to scare you so bad about going to church.
	That they talk about church shootings and church as if it's a certainty that it's going to happen.
	I remember going back into the 1970s, my sister would always watch the evening news.
	I never was interested in the evening news.
	Local news is garbage.
	But I did like Huntley Brinkley Report because I love their theme song from Beethoven.
	Yeah. But she would watch the local stuff, which did not have a very good theme song.
	I can't even remember it now.
	But what they would do is they'd go around the country collecting stories about horrible, violent crimes that are happening to people.
	Somebody goes to the shopping mall and the woman is caught.
	She's trying to get into her car and kidnapped and abducted and Sexually assaulted and or murdered or something like that.
	And so you just start to see this everywhere.
	It's like, no, that's not happening here.
	Okay? This is like one case out of hundreds of millions.
	And Fauci would say, it's rare.
	You know, don't live your life in fear of that.
	And so this is what CNN is trying to do with church shootings here.
	Trying to scare you. No, you do need to make sure the people in the church are, it is a vulnerable area.
	Just like schools or something like that.
	And that's one of the reasons why I've had Charles von Vick on many times.
	And he was warning America about this back in the 1990s, I think it was, or whenever this happened.
	I forget the date now.
	The shooting in South Africa.
	And it was way before we started having any shootings in America.
	And it was at a point where we didn't have a lot of these...
	SSRI, I believe, you know, drug-induced shootings or CIA or whatever is happening with these situations.
	And it was still kind of rare, and that was a political assassination targeted there in South Africa, the Marxist.
	But he was trying to warn people that that was coming to where we are as well and to have security training.
	And so CNN talks about a situation at a Colorado Springs church, and her name was Jean Assam.
	She said she had a very bad feeling about it because she'd heard reports that a gunman had killed two people at a missionary training center about 70 miles away, had escaped from And so she wasn't scheduled to work that day, but she decided to go anyway because she was concerned about it.
	It turns out that as she gets there, there's a sound of a high-powered rifle and people are saying, you know, get down, get down.
	She pulled out her 9mm and ran to confront him.
	Now understand, this is a woman with a pistol.
	She's going out. She's confronting a guy who has an assault weapon and body armor.
	A bulletproof vest and so forth, and a backpack.
	And CNN, the same people have been selling this idea that, hey, assault weapons, they're so potent, you don't stand a chance, right?
	This is a woman with a 9mm pistol against a guy who's got an AR-15 or something like that, and full body armor.
	And she confronted him, and she was able to put him down.
	It was out of his mind.
	He was mumbling and cursing as he was moving around and shooting people.
	He shot a couple of people before she got to him.
	And so CNN will put out this narrative.
	They don't draw attention to the fact that That it's a woman with a 9mm pistol who put down a guy with an AR-15 in body armor.
	They don't want to talk about that.
	But they go through this over and over again to, again, scare you about the churches.
	Churches have long been concerned about losing members as church attendance plummets across denominations.
	Now they have a new worry, protecting the people that remain, they said.
	And the pastor that was there said, well, you know, everything that's happening in the culture spills over into the church.
	That's true. You know, the influence is going the wrong way, isn't it?
	You look at what happens in a typical church, same rates of divorce, all the rest of these things that are happening in the rest of the world.
	And I think for far too long, you know, we've looked at the churches as being, and they're talking about, well, you know, we've got people who are wrestling with all these problems, personal problems, maybe mental problems we have to keep the doors open and let them come in.
	Well, that's true. That's true, but you need to have some discernment about things.
	The church is a kind of hospital, for sure, but that's not all that it is.
	And we need to understand that we don't need to circle the wagons and become defensive about this.
	Because if we do, and I'm not just talking about the people that are at the church, But the church is not the building.
	The church is the people.
	And if the church goes out and engages the culture, if we make a change in the culture, we're having no effect on the culture.
	The culture is affecting us.
	Why? Well, because we're not telling them the truth.
	And we're hanging back.
	If we go out and engage them, Then the gates of hell are not going to prevail against it.
	But we don't do that, do we?
	No. Instead, we just kind of, you know, stay in our little bubble and don't engage the people that are there in the same way that, you know, this woman had to go out and engage that killer.
	We have a killer culture, and we need to engage it.
	And so CNN says, well, consider this sobering Sunday morning scenario.
	You've got a spiritual seeker visiting a church in Finds it filled with metal detectors and armed security guards carrying walkie-talkies.
	As he or she looks around, they may ask themselves, How can a church sing A Mighty Fortress Is Our God when they have security teams flanking the pastor and people deemed suspicious being ejected from the service?
	Well, you know, I think maybe some of that happened as well during the pandemic.
	They go in and people say, Stay away from me.
	Stay away. I've got a mask on. How can they sing?
	A mighty fortress is our God.
	There's a verse in there about the plagues and all the rest of the stuff that we go through.
	Yeah, it is kind of cognitive dissonance there, isn't it?
	Speaking of cognitive dissonance, we had the case last week, I think I talked about this, in Redding, Pennsylvania.
	The guy who was arrested for reading the Bible in Redding, Pennsylvania.
	And he has now been released.
	It was an outrage.
	They said from the local reporter there, Lancaster Patriot, after review of the incident, which took place on June 3rd, the district attorney's office has withdrawn the charges of disorderly conduct against Damon Atkins.
	They put that up in a Facebook post.
	It was the county commissioner who said, based on the review of the evidence in the law, the Berks County district attorney withdrew the charges today.
	From what I've seen thus far, I believe this was an unlawful arrest that could open the city of Reading and their police department to legal action.
	He should sue them, I believe.
	But the Redding police chief...
	It's unrepentant. As a matter of fact, as people wrote on social media and complained about this, he got very defensive and actually went on offense about it.
	The Reading police chief said that they were inundated with phone calls over the arrest and he painted the police as the true victims.
	He said, since the arrest of Damon Atkins, the Reading police department has been inundated with phone calls, said the police chief.
	See, the problem is at the top, isn't it?
	On Tuesday and Wednesday, our communications center fielded hundreds of calls on phone lines that should be used for emergency and non-emergency requests for police assistance.
	Well, if you are so busy, why are you out there arresting people reading from the Bible?
	Oh, yes, you're impinging upon our, you know, mission-critical stuff here.
	You know, we got people out there to arrest reading the Bible.
	He said, these harassing phone calls have distracted our communications personnel from fielding calls related to incidents taking place in the city of Reading.
	Obviously, they're incapable of distinguishing between a crime and between a non-crime, and they don't care about the Constitution.
	He said, many of the phone calls received have included threats to police personnel, have contained inappropriate language.
	They got their feelings hurt. Our partner law enforcement agencies are investigating these calls, and we will pursue charges where appropriate.
	And the mayor, Eddie Moran, voiced support for the arrest.
	He wanted that guy arrested.
	He said, first and foremost, I consider myself lucky to have been able to participate in the Pride March.
	It truly was a wonderful event, and I look forward to continuing to celebrate the LGBT community throughout the month of June, he told 69 News.
	I'm assuming that's an LGBT publication.
	Maybe they should just call it 666 News.
	He said, however, freedom of speech does not include, I support freedom of speech, but it doesn't include the right to actually talk.
	You can't disrupt an organized event and interfere with the rights of others.
	Well, they tell that to the leftists.
	They don't want their feelings hurt.
	Look, it's kind of an interesting situation here.
	You've got the police chief and the mayor on the side of the LGBT. You've got the district attorney and the county commissioner on the side of the Constitution.
	That's why we need to talk about the lesser magistrate.
	And you see that it's a divided thing, even at the local level.
	We know that it's all lost at the upper level.
	We better fight at the local level, because even here...
	You said it split 50-50.
	And you know what happens if the bad guys win.
	Thanks for listening. The Common Man They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
