As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 6th of July, year of our Lord 2023.
three We're going to take a look today at a drug that's been used for several decades for asthma.
It drives children and even adults to suicide.
We have Kim Witsack who has talked to us about SSRIs.
She has gone to Congress talking about labels for SSRI, what happened to her husband.
But also, what about the mRNA drugs?
And what is this real process?
Even though Trump says he was the one who got the FDA mad at him, this has been standard operating procedure, even though he's trying to take credit for it.
We'll also finish up on the geoengineering.
There's much more about this. There is a climate clock that has been put in the UK. But we're going to begin...
With war, as we talked about yesterday.
We'll be right back. Well,
the good news is, yesterday I talked about both Ukraine and Russia, NATO and Russia, all of them saying the other side is going to nuke the largest power plant in Europe, the ninth largest one in the world.
They're going to do it as a false flag.
They're going to do it to kick off a nuclear war.
Well, the good thing is that didn't happen.
And so we're not going to pout about that.
I'm happy that that didn't happen.
I'm not going to be Jonah. It says, repent, or God's going to destroy Nineveh.
And then they repented, and he didn't destroy Nineveh.
Well, maybe one of these two repented.
I don't know which one was planning on doing it, but look, they are pushing us towards nuclear war.
That's been the concern all along.
We all know that. And so if one side blows the whistle...
On the other side, whoever was planning to do it, it's like, we know what you're up to, and we got the information.
Well, maybe they'll back off and try it in a different way.
But the concern is that they're going to keep going.
And Chris Hedges says they lied about Afghanistan, they lied about Iraq, and they're lying about Ukraine.
That's absolutely true. The U.S. public has been conned once again into pouring billions of dollars into an endless war.
And that's the motive. The motive for the military-industrial complex to lie about these wars, of course.
He said the playbook that the pimps of war used to lure us into one military fiasco after another, including Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine does not change.
Freedom and democracy are threatened.
Evil must be vanquished.
Human rights must be protected.
The fate of Europe and NATO... Along with the rules-based international order is at stake and victory is assured.
You know, we've heard this all before, haven't we?
It's kind of like a MacGuffin.
You know, we've had the Vietnam MacGuffin, the Afghanistan MacGuffin, the Iraq and Iran MacGuffins, and we've had Syria MacGuffins, now the Ukraine MacGuffin.
Maybe we should call it the MickGuffin because it's the MIC, the Military Industrial Complex.
They always come up with a different rationale for this stuff, but it's always the same goal that they have.
It doesn't really matter what the rationalization is.
It doesn't matter what the country is, does it?
They just want to make money.
Money is what this is about.
In the same way that the pharmaceutical companies and Trump went to war with you, and Biden went to war with you over these vaccines.
They kill you for money.
And they'll kill you for money with wars.
Whether they're domestic with pharmaceutical drugs or whether it is a foreign war.
And they kind of mandate your participation in it as well, if it comes to our shores, and this next time it will.
This proxy war in Ukraine is designed to serve U.S. interests.
It enriches the weapons manufacturers, it weakens the Russian military, and it isolates Russia from Europe.
And so what happens to Ukraine is irrelevant.
He points out. And Chris Hedges quotes Mitch McConnell, who makes three points.
Mitch McConnell said first, maybe I should read it like him, equipping our friends on the front lines.
I'll just read it normally. To defend themselves is a far cheaper way than both dollars and American lives to degrade Russia's ability to threaten the U.S., said Mitch McConnell.
Second, Ukraine's effective defense of its territory is teaching us lessons about how to improve the defenses of partners who are threatened by China.
It is no surprise that senior officials from Taiwan are so supportive of the efforts to help Ukraine defeat Russia.
Yeah, they're faced with a choice, as somebody said.
Taiwan is being given a choice of being Ukraine or Hong Kong What are they going to do?
Maybe, I don't know, what would you do if you were Taiwan?
It's a difficult choice, isn't it?
Difficult choice. Third, most of the money that's been appropriate for Ukraine security assistance doesn't actually go to Ukraine, says Mitch McConnell.
This is Mitch McConnell talking, bragging about this.
It gets invested in American defense manufacturing.
It funds new weapons and munitions for the U.S. Armed Forces to replace.
Wait a minute. Mitch said to replace?
But we just were told that they found $6 billion, another $3 billion.
What is it? About $10 billion they found?
We had an accounting error.
We were valuing the stuff that we're giving to Ukraine at a replacement cost.
Well, yeah, that's the point.
You're going to have to replace it if you give it from your weapon stores, and you're going to have to replace it at the current market value.
Then they said, no, no, no, we shouldn't do it that way.
We should count this stuff at the original purchase price, less depreciation.
Yeah, right. Yeah, right.
So Mitch McConnell says, yeah, we're going to replace older material we provided to Ukraine.
Let me be clear. This assistance means more jobs for America workers and newer weapons for American service members.
Well, isn't that great? We've got jobs.
What's our job? Killing people needlessly?
Is that something God's going to reward for us?
You know, for the longest time, I saw Cato Institute, Reason Magazine, Libertarians say, you know, this whole thing, China, it's great.
The China price isn't a problem.
Look, we're getting cheap stuff from China.
I said, well, the problem with that is that this cheap stuff from China that you're getting in Walmart is based on slave labor.
Slave labor. Yeah, real slavery that's happening now in various ways.
Slave labor. It's based on piracy, copyright violations, and other things like that.
And it's empowering a fascist...
Yeah, that's right, they're fascists.
These communists are actually fascists.
They've merged government with corporations in a very corrupt way.
And so you're empowering a fascist, nationalistic, authoritarian government that is seeking worldwide hegemony.
Yeah, right now, they're not at war with anybody.
Right now, they're playing nice.
They're helping people, more or less.
In many regards, what they're doing is they're putting out their Belt and Road Initiative.
They're saying, well, we're going to help you build infrastructure.
But then they overcharge them for something that doesn't work and get them indebted.
It's the same thing we've been doing with the IMF for a long time.
It's a crooked IMF. Con game that they're running with the Belt and Road Initiative.
Anyway, back to Chris Hedges.
He said these pimps of war.
That's a good term. You know, we usually call them warmongers and people don't realize, what is a warmonger?
It doesn't sound nice, does it?
Well, you know, it's kind of an antiquated term.
They used to talk about fishmongers in the UK. There'd be people who sold fish.
A warmonger is somebody who sells war for profit.
But they're also pimps.
These pimps of war con us into one conflict after another with flattering narratives that paint us as the world's saviors.
They don't even have to be innovative.
The rhetoric is lifted from the old playbook.
We've run this MacGuffin many times.
this time blue and yellow, to become unwinning agents in our own self-immolation.
Since the end of the Second World War, the government has spent between 45 to 90 percent of the federal budget on past, current, and future military operations.
It is the largest sustained activity of the U.S. government.
It has stopped mattering, at least to the pimps of war, whether these wars are rational or prudent.
Well, the defense of the country is one of the few, few, very few legitimate purposes of the federal government.
However, this thing has metastasized into an aberrant form.
It's interesting, when Washington was, for the most part, about defending this country, we were not engaged in foreign wars of empire, At that point in time, they called it the War Department.
But now that we are all about going abroad and seeking monsters to destroy, now that we're all about creating multiple endless wars, many of which never even bothered to pretend that there was any process to declare it, now that we do that, we're called the Defense Department.
So when we were defending the country, they called it the Department of War.
Now when we're Are the warmongers in the empire?
They call it the Department of Defense.
Interesting. But that's how they sell this stuff, by labels.
The war industry metastasizes within the bowels of the American empire to hollow it out from the inside.
That's what it is. It's a cancer.
It really has become a cancer.
Wasn't the Russian military, because of poor morale, poor generalship, outdated weapons, desertions, the lack of ammunition that supposedly forced soldiers to fight with shovels, severe supply shortages, wasn't the Russian army supposed to collapse months ago?
Well, you mean none of that was true?
Wasn't Putin supposed to be driven from power?
Weren't the sanctions supposed to plunge the ruble into a death spiral?
That kind of backfired, didn't it?
Wasn't the severing of the Russian banking system from SWIFT, the international monetary transfer system, wasn't that supposed to cripple the Russian economy?
How is it that inflation rates in Europe and the United States are higher than in Russia, despite these attacks on the Russian economy?
Could it be that they said, okay, we'll get out of your fiat system and we'll get into gold?
We'll be focusing on our real products.
We'll exchange oil for gold and we got real things that we're manufacturing here.
Instead, we have a derivative empire.
The entire American empire is like an ETF. It's like paper gold or paper silver.
It's just a paper tiger.
Yeah, so maybe Russia's, maybe the grand plan is for Russia is just waiting for us to run away and leave tens of billions of dollars worth or maybe hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weapons behind, like we did in Afghanistan.
Maybe that's the overall strategy of Putin.
I don't know. Wasn't the nearly $150 billion in sophisticated military hardware, financial and humanitarian assistance pledged by the U.S., the EU, and 11 other countries, wasn't that supposed to turn the tide of the war?
How is it that perhaps a third of the tanks that Germany and the U.S. provided were swiftly turned by Russian mines, artillery, anti-tank weapons, and airstrikes?
They were turned into missiles.
They turned into charred hunks of metal at the start of the counteroffensive.
And what of the Ukrainian democracy are we fighting to protect?
You know, a democracy that arrests the opposition party.
A democracy that bans churches and speech.
Did the Ukrainian parliament revoke the official use of minority languages, including Russian, three days after the 2014 coup?
Yeah, they didn't really care about the will of the people who wanted to have self-government, as we're talking about the week of July 4th, did they?
They had utter contempt for self-determination.
They had utter contempt for democracy.
The U.S.-run coup did.
How do we rationalize the eight years of warfare against ethnic Russians in the Donbass region before the Russian invasion of February 2022?
How do we explain the killing of over 14,200 people and the one and a half million people who were displaced before Russia's invasion even took place last year?
How do we defend the decision by Zelensky to ban 11 opposition parties, including the opposition platform for life, which had 10% of the seats and the Supreme Council?
How do we defend Ukraine's unicameral parliament along with the Shari party, the Nashi, the opposition bloc, the left opposition, the union of left forces, state progressive socialist party of Ukraine, the socialist party of Ukraine, socialist party and Vladimir Saldo bloc.
How can we accept the banning of these opposition parties, many of which were on the left, while Zelensky allows fascists and literal Nazis to flourish?
Why is that happening?
Anyway, he doesn't even talk about the church stuff that I talk about.
He's going on not just political purges, but ethnic, cultural, and religious purges.
So much for democracy.
And so much for their counter-offensive.
Ukraine has now shifted its counter-offensive focus.
Trying to put a brave face on it.
They said, well, okay, well, now our focus is not going to be on taking territory, but on taking lives.
And we had somebody who said that, didn't we?
Didn't we have Lindsey Graham?
I just need you to kill some Russians out there.
Just kill lots of Russians.
Good. The maximum destruction of Russian military personnel and hardware is currently the number one task, says the country's national security chief, Danilov.
Well, you know, we can...
Many people say, yeah, Trump says, well, I'm going to stop this thing on day one.
And yet, is he?
He's got Lindsey Graham stumping with him in South Carolina this last weekend.
And it was kind of interesting because the people that were there were booing Lindsey Graham.
I want you to hear that. I want you to see it.
If you're not watching this, if you're listening to it, as the booing is going on, Lindsay's like looking around, you know, kind of, and then behind him, you've got people who are on the podium behind him, holding up their hands with thumbs down behind his back.
He turns around, he sees them.
And then Trump comes out With a really, really, really weak defense.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome United States Senator Lindsey Graham.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Nobody behind him is clapping.
Thank you all for coming.
There's a woman with a thumbs down.
Thank you very, very much.
Thank you. Thank you.
You know, you can make mistakes on occasion.
Even Lindsey down here, Senator Lindsey Graham, we love Senator Graham.
We're going to love him.
We're going to love him.
I know, it's half and half, but when I need some of those liberal votes, he's always there to help me get them, okay?
We got some pretty liberal people, but he's good.
He's there when you need him.
I'm going to get him straight in a...
Yeah, he's there when you need him to go to war.
That's what he's there for. Yeah, but you know, Trump's a peace candidate, right?
He's not beholden or making any deals with Lindsey Graham about anything, right?
Well, yeah, Lindsey is beholden to him and going to do everything that Trump wants.
Is that what you saw in the first four years of Trump?
So, yeah, the peace candidate.
Is RFK Jr. the peace candidate?
Well, as I said before, let me just say it briefly here.
No, no.
He may want to pull back the excesses of the American empire.
And he may want to pull back the curtain on the CIA. But RFK Jr., in terms of following what is now the standard Democrat policies of abortion and LGBT stuff, by embracing those, RFK Jr.
is at war with God.
I'd much rather be at war with Russia than at war with God, wouldn't you?
I don't see any kind of peace coming from that.
And I don't, as we continue this thing, and as we can all be thankful there was not any false flag that escalated in a nuclear exchange, understand that as we continue this war, As we continue to escalate this war in terms of infrastructure attacks and things like that,
like we saw the pipeline, and as I was saying about the nuclear power plant, whether that happened or not, I said, you know, it's the same type of thing.
It doesn't really matter who does it.
This is a product of this ongoing war that nobody wants to stop.
And we saw this happening with the dam that was destroyed.
Does it really matter who did it?
At this point during the war, does it matter who blew that dam up?
It really doesn't. Not to the people that are there.
And so, you know, we can all argue about who pulled the trigger first on this type of thing.
But the key thing is that the war is going to be stopped.
And there's no interest in that.
In the deep state.
Which Trump spent four years taking orders from.
That deep state. Yeah, he would talk about, oh, we've got to get out of NATO. We've got to bring the troops home.
But he never did any of that stuff.
It was all just a bunch of hot air.
A bunch of hot air for the people who want to support him.
And as we look at how this might escalate, the thing that I'm really concerned about is a cyber attack.
You know, not an overt nuclear attack, necessarily.
Not even necessarily an EMP. They could pretty much take down the grid with a cyber attack, and the Russians are very good at that.
If you do a cyber attack, you can't prove who did that.
That's one of the points about Vault 7 that WikiLeaks showed us, the fact that the CIA could disguise themselves to be any nation, friend or foe, to do anything that they wanted.
You don't think the Russians have that?
You don't think the Chinese have that?
Of course they do. If they did a cyber attack, you would never know Who had actually taken down the grid or any parts of our infrastructure to create all kinds of havoc?
That's the thing that we need to think about.
I think that'll happen before there will be any actual warfare, you know, with the exception perhaps of somebody engineers something with a large false flag attack.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Well, let's talk about the White House and the Big House.
The White House got even whiter with all the honey powder that they found.
And as I identified it as cocaine, we had press conferences that happened yesterday.
And as reporters pressed them on what kind of investigation is happening, they said, well, we're not calling for a prosecution of whoever left this cocaine in the West Wing.
Imagine that. Do you like presidents who are above the law?
You know, I don't support the drug war.
Biden did. Biden has been the key supporter of the drug war.
Even going back during the Reagan administration, he was pushing Ed Meese and Reagan to push in mandatory minimums and civil asset forfeiture and a whole bunch of things like that.
That's Biden from the very beginning.
Oh, you got some cocaine here?
Well, maybe we should just confiscate the White House.
We'll charge the White House, the building itself, with a crime, and the DEA can take it over and sell it off, maybe to China or something, and then keep the proceeds.
That would be what Biden would do to your house.
To your house.
Yeah, I know, the White House is supposed to be the people's house, is it?
Or is that the Congress?
I don't know. They don't belong to us.
They don't. They're at war with us.
Get over that illusion.
But the reality is I don't want a president who is above the law.
I don't support the drug war.
I don't support drug use.
But drug use is a spiritual problem.
It's a medical problem.
It's a psychological problem.
It's all of those different things.
And those are the approaches that need to be taken on a one-by-one individual way.
But it's been an absolute proven failure for 50 years with the drug war.
And for about a decade with alcohol prohibition.
It's a proven failure to try to stop people who are engaged in destructive behavior of vice and other things like this.
It's a proven failure to try to correct that with law enforcement.
That's not what they're good at.
It's not their responsibility.
And when we give them a job to do, it's because we only think that we've got one tool, and that's government, and federal government at that.
And so when you've only got a hammer, everything looks like a nail, right?
Except this is a screwdriver situation, and the nail doesn't work too well.
So I don't support the national security state either.
But, look, Trump did.
And now he has thumbed his nose at all the rules of the national security state.
Biden supports the drug war, always has.
And now he has thumbed his nose at that.
Because the two of them are above the law, right?
They don't have to be held accountable to the same things that you and I are.
We should not be electing dictators.
And that's what we've got.
We've got a couple of guys who love executive orders.
Biden had more executive orders than anybody else in the first couple of months.
I pronounce this, I pronounce that.
But remember, it was Trump who did gun control by executive order for the first time.
It was Trump who financially incentivized and produced the pandemic lockdowns and mandates and all the rest of the stuff by giving massive amounts of money to governors.
And he did it with an executive order.
And that was in, you know, March the 13th, 2020.
Prior to that, his FDA head did essentially an FDA order.
I mean, it's coming, it's an emergency order coming out of, sorry, not FDA, HHS. Head of one level up from FDA. But you know, we have these cabinet heads issue these declarations.
It's the same as if it came from the executive, if they stand behind it.
Just like Obama's Attorney General, Janet Napolitano, who said we're going to have deferred action on childhood arrivals, DACA. Well, that was an Obama executive order.
And these executive orders that were done by Trump's subordinates, And the financial incentivization, the massive trillions of dollars of debt to bribe everybody to stay locked down, to bribe the governors to lock people down.
That was an executive order.
So we got both Trump and Biden who have acted like dictators.
Executive orders, right?
A dictator is somebody who dictates terms to.
Comes from speaking, right?
You take dictation.
Well, a dictator, the law is in their mouth.
Forget about democracy or the rule of law, any of that stuff.
And so is it any surprise that these dictators like Trump and Biden who rule by executive orders feel that they are above the law?
The national security classification laws don't apply to Trump.
The drug wars that Biden has pushed for decades don't apply to him.
He's been pushing that stuff for more than 40 years.
And he's got a drug addict son.
And he's going to give him a pass on everything.
The Daily Signal asked whether the White House supported prosecuting whoever took the cocaine into the West Wing.
Two other reporters later asked the same question.
Does the White House support the prosecution of the individual?
And White House Press Secretary Jean Pierre says, well, I'm just not going to get into hypotheticals from here.
It's a hypothetical to think that you would prosecute anybody for something like that, that Biden has gone to the mat to prosecute the rest of us for.
She said, let the Secret Service do their job.
Yeah, put an emphasis on the secret.
Secret Service, very good at keeping secret from the public things that the president, who they're there to protect, doesn't want made public.
They keep all kinds of secrets for the president's secret service does.
Always have. Always have.
Their mission is to protect the president.
That doesn't just mean taking a bullet.
It means zipping your lips about this stuff.
So they're the ones who are going to do the investigation.
She did say, however, that there was a staff-led tour of the West Wing on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Ah, here's the alibi.
Here's the alibi they're going to come up with.
Let me ask you. Do you think the people going to the White House to take a tour, do you think they check them out very carefully when they come into the place?
That's going to be somebody that, you know, doesn't get the full checkpoint treatment who's going to bring something like that into the White House.
Why hasn't this ever happened before?
We've always had tours.
Why haven't we ever had somebody smuggling a bag of cocaine before as part of their tour?
She said when people visit the West Wing, there's an area of the West Wing that is highly traveled.
And that is what happens.
People come through this area that is highly traveled.
And I'm just not going to get into specifics.
I'm not going to get ahead of the Secret Service.
I'll let them speak to that.
So these tourists who come in, they're not checking them for anything.
They're just free to bring in whatever they want.
Nobody is paying any attention to them.
Nobody is watching them. It isn't clear where the security cameras cover the area of the West Wing where the cocaine was discovered.
She refused to talk about that when asked about that.
What about the cameras? You know, if we could figure that out, what happened to the cameras in the video of this stuff?
Maybe we could figure out what happened to the Pentagon in that plane.
We'll probably, you know, 20, 30 years from now when the...
CGI combined with artificial intelligence gets better.
You know, they'll give us synchronized views from different angles that they have manufactured that they didn't want to show to us now for 25 years or whatever, 22.
Pundits characterize the discovery as unprecedented.
Well, of course it is. Glenn Beck says, if only there were security cameras, so we could figure out whether they belonged to Hunter Biden.
Yeah, just, again, if only there were security cameras at the Pentagon, all around the perimeter.
I just don't understand.
But former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer...
Who worked under George W. Bush said, with the exception of the White House mess and the bathrooms, and he means the kitchen area.
It's a mess now, isn't it?
The whole thing. The entire West Wing, he said, is a work area.
Where exactly was the cocaine found?
In whose office? In the sitting, in the sit room?
The private office next to the Oval Office?
Yeah, where is this?
Meghan McCain, daughter of John McCain, used to be on The View, said no Republican president could have someone pose topless on the White House lawn at an official event, followed by cocaine being found in the White House, and not have the media go absolutely crazy.
Insane. Well, yeah.
That is...
And there would be immediate calls for impeachment, wouldn't there?
You hear anything like that coming from Kevin McCarthy and his house?
No. No.
Not on the income tax stuff, not on the bribery stuff that was taken, the money that was illegally obtained, on which they did tax evasion?
No, I don't care about that, so they're not going to care about some cocaine either.
Trump commented on this, took the opportunity to...
To dance on Biden.
He said, does anybody really believe that the cocaine found the West Wing of the White House very close to the Oval Office is for the use of anyone other than Hunter and Joe, he said.
And then he went after Jack Smith, the special prosecutor.
And he says, has deranged Jack Smith, the crazy, Trump-hating special prosecutor, has he been seen in the area of the cocaine?
He looks like a crackhead to me.
I love it how Trump always takes a high road and has an intellectual take on everything, doesn't he?
Deeply wounded narcissist, incapable of acting or speaking, except out of his perceived self-interest or revenge.
Anyway, this scandal, writes Victor Davis Hanson, this scandal will lead to the Biden's convictions for serious felonies.
Why beg to differ?
I think he's above the law.
And I don't think anything is going to happen with this.
And he says, he begins by saying, every American now knows that Donald Trump would have gone to prison for several years or even attempting, much less getting away with the fraudulent tax avoidance schemes of Hunter Biden.
Well, that's true, but why do we always make it about Trump, right?
Yes, you know, they're going over his financial stuff with a fine-tooth comb.
Of course they would. But why do we make it simply about Donald Trump?
What about you and I? I mean, if you or I were to do tax evasion over millions of dollars of money that was illegally obtained, don't you think the IRS would come after us?
Why do we only care about Trump?
Why don't we want equal protection for all citizens?
Why don't we want a president who's not above the law?
And that would include Trump as well.
I don't understand why the MAGA press and the MAGA people always put Trump before we the people.
I don't get it.
So, it then goes on to say, and this is kind of surprising, He says, there are various ways undermining the tradition of self-reported income tax computation and voluntary compliance.
Yeah, we have a voluntary system, you know.
And it's always say that when you get the...
It used to be they would mail out the instructions every year and say, you know, the income tax thing is a voluntary thing.
But of course, it's a fraud that is backed by force.
Again, if you go back to the history of the income tax...
Income tax, when it was first put in, really only applied to the top 1% of the 1% and they only paid about 1% in taxes.
It was a very, very tiny tax and only applied to the ultra, ultra rich.
And then during World War II, they made it about wages.
Income had been defined as profits from businesses and things like that.
But then they made it about wages in World War II. And it was supposed to be a temporary measure.
And then after the war ended, they said, well, it's a voluntary system.
We want you to keep sending in the money on your wages.
It's a fraud. But it is backed by force for everybody except for the Bidens.
So you and I will go to jail.
Trump will go to jail, but not the Bidens.
But I think it's disingenuous to call this, you know, this is based on voluntary compliance.
It's kind of like saying, we're not coercing anybody to get the vaccine.
It's not a mandate.
We're not coming to your house, as Alan Dershowitz said, knocking on the door and then dragging you out and forcefully injecting it into your arm.
Dershowitz said, I would support that.
And I would argue that all the way up to the Supreme Court.
And I would win! Well, he probably would, because he's a Saul Goodman kind of lawyer.
He has no ethics, but he's pretty good at prevarications.
But they came back and they said, yeah, we're not forcing anybody to get a vaccine.
You've got a choice. You can either have a vaccine or you can stay locked up.
You can either have the vaccine or you can have no job, no travel, no school, all the rest of this stuff.
But we're not forcing anybody.
Let's understand that caution is not a choice.
And you're being coerced with the IRS thing.
They don't have a legal justification for this.
And I would argue that before the Supreme Court given half a chance.
But they do have the force to back it up.
And let's not fool ourselves or pretend that they have legitimate authority.
They've got a lot of force, but they don't have legitimate authority.
And coercion is not a choice.
It's the same type of thing.
I remember we'd always get the maps, you know, when you had paper maps.
And we'd travel, we'd get maps from the different states as we're going through them.
And always on the very back of the map, There'd be a statement from the governor of that state talking about how driving was a privilege.
He's like, no. Being able to move is a fundamental right.
Not a government-granted privilege.
That used to always bother me as well.
Anyway, Victor Davis Hanson says, our tax institutions, of course, are based on the real deterrents.
of a disinterested, uncompromised IRS. Without it, the income revenues of the U.S. are essentially existentially threatened.
Again, I've said this before and I'll say it again.
If they don't care about the deficit and the Democrats absolutely don't care about the deficits, and I think the Republicans, safe to say, don't care about it either.
They keep raising the debt ceiling.
They pretend for the audience that they care, and then after, you know, a lot of storm and fury signifying nothing, they go ahead and raise the debt ceiling again.
So neither the Republicans nor the Democrats care about the deficit.
It doesn't matter to them. So why do they need taxes?
The taxes haven't even come close.
To balancing the budget with this stuff.
Not even close. So why are we even bothering with it if they don't care about the deficit?
Our country is not going to collapse if we don't have an income tax.
Victor Davis Hanson.
And it's not voluntary.
Anyway, he says, so far any negative reputation of the IRS has rested with the natural complaints that it is too zealous in hounding out American taxpayers in all walks of life.
Until now. Has the IRS itself ever been under a shadow of such corruption?
Well, yeah, it has, but I think that now it's even worse.
And when you think about the fact that, again, the deficit doesn't matter to Biden, why should the taxes matter to them?
And yet he wants to ramp up the IRS by a factor of seven.
The Republicans said, how dare him?
We'll only ramp it up by a factor, we'll only make it five times bigger than it is now.
Oh, that Biden. You don't want to vote for Biden because he's going to make the IRS seven times.
Vote for Republicans. They'll make it five times bigger.
Why doesn't it just go away?
You know, DeSantis said, I'll get rid of the IRS. He said, I got four agencies.
He mentioned the IRS is one of them.
I said, I can't even think of four agencies that I would keep in Washington.
And certainly the IRS should go if they don't care about the deficits.
But the key issue here is not the IRS. It's not our tax system and preserving this so-called voluntary tax system.
The key thing is equal protection of the law.
And the key thing is that we don't want to set up a system where our presidents are above the law.
The Democrats want Biden to be above the law.
The Republicans want Trump to be above the law.
I want them both to be locked up.
And they've committed serious crimes, not this stuff.
It's the vaccine and the lockdown stuff that's a serious crime.
Anyway, he says, millions of Americans might shrug if Joe Biden, president of the U.S., and his criminally-minded son can get away with avoiding millions of dollars in taxes.
Then should not I, a nobody, at least have the right to avoid hundreds of dollars in taxes?
Well, again, it's about living under a dictatorship.
That's the issue. This is the problem with conservatives.
They're so fiscally minded, all they can think about is money.
And even then, they don't get it right.
Even then, they say, well, we'll have an IRS. It's only five times bigger.
An IRS whistleblower, meanwhile, is coming back after the Biden lawyers made allegations against Gary Shapely.
He directly denies that he leaked any tax information to the Washington Post or anybody else, suggests that allegations are part of a retaliation campaign.
Of course they are. He said, quote, another attack and retaliation.
IRS Supervisory Criminal Investigative Agent Gary Shapely sent the statement to the House and Senate committees.
He said, I was not the source of the October 6, 2022 Washington Post article, nor have I ever had any contact with Barrett or Stein.
Because I'm so confident of this, I hereby authorize Washington Post and or journalists Devlin Barrett and Perry Stein or any other Washington Post reporter to release any communications directly or indirectly to or from me.
In this regard, I'm willing to waive any purported journalistic privilege and confidentiality that would have arisen had I been a source for the Washington Post.
I have never leaked confidential taxpayer information, he said.
So why is he saying all this?
Well, because we had this criminal lawyer, and I mean criminal lawyer.
It was like Breaking Bad.
The guy says, you need a criminal lawyer.
He goes, yeah, no. No, I mean a criminal lawyer.
Saul Goodman. Saul Goodman.
So the unsolicited letter came just days after Hunter Biden's lawyer, Saul Goodman, I'm sorry, Abby Lowell, accused Shapely and another whistleblower of being, quote, disgruntled and making false allegations, unquote.
It is a tried and true tactic, she said, of aggrieved agents who believe they know better than experienced prosecutors and disagree with those prosecutors' timings or conclusions to seek to influence an outcome of an investigation and to pressure prosecutors to charge by leaking to the media.
Happens all the time, she said.
No, she knows all the tricks.
As a matter of fact, she engages in them herself, right?
The back and forth came as prominent GOP senators and House Committee chairmen joined forces Wednesday to demand an investigation by the Office of Special Counsel.
So they want a special counsel.
I mean, perhaps that is the process that should play out in impeachment.
But again, it's going to be too little.
It's going to be too late, I think, for them to do anything.
Meanwhile, Trump, on his criminal charges, has been able to raise $35 million.
And the second quarter of indictments.
All these different indictments, you know, just $35 million.
Unfortunately for Adam Schiff, he's only raised $8 million because he only had one thing, and it was a censure by the House for all the lies that he told about Russiagate.
But, you know, that's only good for $8 million.
You gotta go big if you're gonna go with this stuff.
Just be careful, Adam, and don't do anything they can lock you up for.
But that's okay. You're a Democrat.
They're not gonna lock you up. You're fine.
And yet, you know, this is seen by the crimes that Trump has committed.
Seen by these people.
As... A virtue.
There are indictments, there's audio tape of him with classified documents sharing them with people who didn't have that security clearance.
Does any of that bother you?
No, I think they've been after him so long that all of this is just a witch hunt like he described it.
I don't think there's anything Trump's done wrong.
I think that the desperate opposition is just after him.
I mean, they started out, you know, and they've been after him eight different ways, and they're going to keep after him until they can get him in jail, I think.
They went after Richard Nixon.
They went after Bill Clinton.
And now the courts in several different states are finding different things about Trump.
Is there anything that could happen with him, indictment-wise, that would say, all right, maybe this disqualifies him for president?
Not for me. I'm with him to the finish.
Alright, thank you so much.
He could stand on the front steps of the White House and commit murder, and I'm with him.
Explain that to me. That's amazing.
Look, he's the only man we've ever had in my lifetime that stood for America as president.
My people are so smart.
And you know what else they say about my people?
The polls. They say, I have the most loyal people.
Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?
It's like incredible. You know, he can thumb his nose at the law.
He can kill people. He can kill people with vaccines.
He can brag about what he did with the vaccines, rushing them out without testing them, all the rest of the stuff.
His people. His people.
They just love him.
And he knows it. And they gave him $35 million.
Adam Schiff, meanwhile, is not facing criminal charges.
He got censured. But he raked in $8 million in the second quarter, and that brings his total up to $29.5 million for his Senate bid.
He's running for Senate.
Imagine that. What does it matter with California?
It's just beyond belief.
What a...
Anyway, and this is even more than Democrat Georgia Senator Raphael Warnick's record.
Of raising $7 million in 2021's second quarter.
I mean, he's way ahead of that.
You know, that was a record.
Seven. And now you've got $29 million.
And you know, one of the things about this is that you look at the amount of money that is going into the elections.
That is a measure of corruption, isn't it?
I mean, we have this.
There's so much power in Washington that everybody wants to buy a piece of it.
Whether they're American or they're foreign.
And so, that much power being concentrated in Washington is like a black hole is to gravity.
It just sucks everything in.
And everybody has been along, going back to the time of H.L. Meekin, who was a contemporary of FDR, he said an election is an advanced auction of stolen goods.
Well, now there's a lot of stolen goods there that are auctioned off.
It is a massive black hole of corruption.
And so, when you look at this and the amount of money that has gone up, again, from just going back to the 2000 race between George W. Bush and Al Gore, Bush got about $100 billion total that he ran, and that was what he had with his PACs as well as what he had.
And Al Gore is very upset about that because he only got like 75.
He said he's buying the White House with all that kind of money.
But the two of them combined, less than $200 billion.
And I got these candidates that are going up and you roll in all the different PAC money and all the rest of the stuff for president.
And it goes up to nearly a billion dollars.
You look at the congressional races, even, and how much money is involved in that.
Look at the Senate races and how much money is involved in that.
That's why this country is so corrupt.
So Adam Schiff gets $8 million and this is, you know, the golden ticket is to get censured or to get indicted because everybody wants, they don't care if a person is a criminal.
They just want their side to win.
See, that's an indictment of we the people.
We don't care if this person is honest.
And as a matter of fact, as I pointed out, yes, that's what Darren Beatty is pushing on Revolver.
We just want the idea, if you're not doing anything to get indicted, then you're just not doing enough.
And you're controlled opposition.
That's the position that he takes.
And that's the mindset of most of these MAGA people.
You know, there's nothing real about this.
Well, the crimes of Biden and the crimes of Trump are real.
And the bigger crimes they're not even talking about.
But Stuart Rhodes, who has been convicted on seditious conspiracy, said, warned Trump, he says, you're going to be found guilty.
And he's absolutely right.
And he's not even just talking.
He's talking about the next thing that's going to drop, which is going to be January the 6th investigation.
That's coming as well.
You see, it's this Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA. That's nothing.
It's a fishing expedition.
The charges in Georgia don't really matter that much, but they're going to be bringing some charges there as well, I think.
The national security stuff, I think they've got him dead to rights because of his recordings.
But then there's also the January 6th thing that's coming.
So Stuart Rhodes, a Yale Law School graduate, former Army paratrooper who founded the Oath Keepers, 2009.
So the federal government is working to turn Mr.
Trump's inner circle against him and to scare off potential witnesses for the former president's defense.
He said, they're going to do the same thing to Trump that they did to me.
He said, from prison.
He sent a grave warning to Mr.
Trump, you're going to get railroaded, you're going to be found guilty if you try to go to trial.
So everyone's been demoralized and more likely to take a plea deal and agree to test a lie against President Trump.
He means testify, so he says test a lie.
That's really what is shaping up here.
Look, they use the Oath Keepers, they use the Proud Boys' convictions, quote-unquote, of this seditious conspiracy.
They used that because they got those convictions and railroaded them because they wanted to make the case to go after Trump.
I know that. I said that.
He's said it.
Other people have said it as well.
He says, I didn't enter the Capitol, but I was still found guilty by a D.C. jury of obstructing an official proceeding even though I didn't even go inside.
And I was found guilty of seditious conspiracy, although they had zero evidence of an actual plan.
They never talked about a plan.
They just used my speech and it will be the same with President Trump, he said.
They threatened witnesses with life in prison if they didn't testify against Stuart Rhodes, he said.
And that's what's going to happen to President Trump.
He said the prosecutor's playbook began...
With civil litigation to create a narrative of a coup plot.
It started with a lawsuit brought by Representative Benny Thompson, the Mississippi Democrat, who later led a House investigation committee and 10 other House Democrats accusing Mr.
Trump. Trump's attorney, Giuliani, the Oath Keepers, and other militia group, the Proud Boys, accusing them all of illegally conspiring to incite the riot.
And so now what have we seen with Giuliani.
We've seen that he sees the handwriting on the wall, and he did the proffered statement over the weekend.
The 32-page complaint filed, that's the original civil lawsuit, filed in court.
As part of this unified plan to prevent the counting of the Electoral College votes, defendants, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers, through their leadership, acted in concert to spearhead the assault on the Capitol, while the angry mob that defendants Trump and Giuliani incited descended on the Capitol.
Puts them there as the leaders of the mob.
Trump and Giuliani. Now Giuliani has gone in and made a statement with him.
The carefully orchestrated series of events that unfolded at the Save America rally and the storming of the Capitol was no accident or coincidence, said the lawsuit.
It was intended in the foreseeable culmination of a carefully coordinated campaign to interfere with the legal process required to confirm the tally of votes of the Electoral College.
And so Stuart Rhodes says, so that narrative has been said.
It was said in that civil lawsuit.
They followed that pattern in the kangaroo court procedures against Stuart Rhodes and against the Proud Boys.
And he said they're going to do this against Trump.
And of course, as many people pointed out, Trump's real strategy appears to be to win the presidency, thinking that he can then pardon himself.
I think a better strategy for him would be for some other Republican to win the White House and pardon him, because that's a pretty shaky thing right there, that you could pardon yourself.
You know, DeSantis was asked about the January 6th people.
He says, yeah, I think there's been a lot of, you know, miscarriage.
I'm paraphrasing what he had to say.
A lot of people falsely convicted or miscarriages of justice, that type of thing.
He said, but I'd have to take a look at them one-on-one and make the determination.
But I think there's a lot of them that are there.
And so what about Trump?
Yeah, I would take a look at that as well.
And so, you know, now Chris Christie, if he wins.
Yeah. File a friend of the court brief and say, give him the maximum sentence.
But I think pretty much any of the other Republican candidates would act magnanimously and let him out.
But what is his other alternative?
You know, what will they do to him, right?
They've got him. He's toast, as one commentator said.
He is legal toast. And his only strategy at this point is trying to win or hoping that a Republican is going to win.
You know, perhaps...
He'll run for jail. You know, Biden has already got an opponent who is in jail and running against him.
This guy who is like a reality TV show, I never saw it, his name is Tiger King.
Joe Exotic is now in jail based on allegations that he tried to hire somebody to murder some PETA nut, people for the ethical treatment of animals who didn't like him keeping wild tigers or something.
And so, rather than release the tigers...
I mean, this is straight out of Better Call Saul, that thing I read.
So you're facing charges of keeping a tiger at home.
Well, here are your... It's not my tiger.
Here are your options, you know.
But, no, it's...
He's in jail.
His real name is not Joe Exotic, but it's Joseph Maldonado Passage.
Also known as the Tiger King.
He's got a lot of different aliases.
He had a TV show, evidently.
And so he's in jail.
And they've got him there again, trying to arrange murder for hire.
But isn't that the real crime?
The real crime of Biden and Trump?
Didn't they do murder for hire?
Didn't they kill millions of people around the world?
With their shots and their lockdowns and the rest of this stuff, didn't they kill our society?
Didn't they kill the rule of law?
Didn't they sterilize people with their untested drugs that they rushed out and mandated and other things like that?
Yeah, ironic, isn't it, that this guy is the one who was in jail and running for president.
I would vote for the Tiger King before I would vote for Biden or Trump, let me tell you.
Not even close.
close.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
Making sense. Common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, CNN tells us that July 4th and 5th have the most mass shootings of any days of the year.
Fireworks. And again, that is something that gives them cover.
A lot of people are like, well, I thought that was...
Fireworks. I know it was a gunshot.
But again, CNN does a big piece on all the different shootings that were around.
And I said, well, you know, we should lose our guns.
Because a tranny Black Lives Matter activist decided that black lives didn't matter anymore.
And he started going through his neighborhood to quote-unquote clean it up, he said.
Just shooting people at random.
Shooting kids.
A two-year-old kid, multiple gunshots in the legs, shooting another 13-year-old kid, and killing five men from the ages, I think, of 15 or so to 59, chasing one of them into his house.
So because of somebody like that, the one thing that we need to focus on is the guns.
None of the rest of this stuff.
They said, so far there's been at least 10 mass shootings, July 4th and 5th this year.
So we don't want to pay any attention to who did it, what their motivations were, what their manifesto was.
We still don't have the manifesto of the trainee killer in Nashville.
It's being protected. We don't need to pay any attention to where this is and what kind of gun control measures they've got in place.
That didn't prevent this, but they want to impose this on rational, normal people?
You know, in the same way that we locked up people who were not sick?
Well, it's just, they've got an agenda, and they're going to swing the bat at anybody that they can hit.
Speaking of swinging bats, you've got mothers attacked by baseball bat-wielding children in San Francisco.
San Francisco, can it get any worse?
The drug addicts on the street, the stores, even the giant, massive Wall Street retailers cannot handle the shoplifting that has been enabled by the people there.
And city officials said the problem is these kids aren't in school.
The problem is truancy and the fact that there is no interest from the police in terms of doing anything.
Well, why bother?
When you've got these Soros district attorneys there, and you arrest people, and they just turn them back out again.
Baseball bat-wielding gangs of children are mugging mothers and nannies.
Latest crime wave to hit San Francisco.
It just gets more and more bizarre, doesn't it?
But, you know, they didn't use guns.
They've got baseball bats.
And I guess, you know, the problem is maybe the person and not the tool, you think?
Here's another example.
A woman sleeping in her car was chased down by a man in a stolen Lowe's forklift and killed in the Home Depot parking lot.
You know, because Home Depot and Lowe's are always a pair, right?
They're never far apart.
A man has been arrested and charged in connection with an incident in which the woman was killed after being hit and run over by a stolen forklift in Waldorf, Maryland.
In the Home Depot parking lot, officers responded to a burglary and a theft in process at the Lowe's.
And according to the Sheriff's Office, a suspect, identified as Bryce Caleb Timothy Brown, 20 years old, had broken into the Lowe's, stolen a forklift, and then, quote, rammed it through the rear gates, unquote.
The news release alleges that Brown then left Lowe's on the forklift.
Driving it into the parking lot of a nearby Home Depot where he rammed a vehicle in the parking lot.
The woman who was asleep in the car, of course I imagine he knows who she is, got out when the forklift struck her car and started to run away.
But he followed her and struck her with a forklift and ran over her, killing her.
Then he went back and stole her car and tried to leave the scene of the crime.
And the woman...
Was 73 years old.
It's kind of strange. I don't know what the relationship is there, but he stole the car after killing her and then drove the car to his house.
This guy doesn't, he's got a lot of issues, doesn't he?
But anyways, so you can use baseball bats, you can use forklifts, you know, you can use all types of things.
You can use an SUV to kill people, as we've seen with the Waukesha Christmas Parade Killer.
But no, we're going to focus on the gun.
Why? Because they don't want law-abiding citizens to have guns.
They're not going to have background checks for forklifts.
They're not going to have all kinds of extraordinary controls on forklifts.
They're not going to create an entire federal agency for forklifts or baseball bats.
Well, at least not yet. Who knows?
I mean, you've got the consumer protection safety thing or whatever coming after airsoft guns.
Maybe they will come after baseball bats and forklifts and SUVs.
Well, they are going to come after SUVs.
They're banning them now. But when you look at this, what does it matter with our society?
That's why I'm glad that RFK Jr.
talked about that. He said, what has changed about the people?
Is it the SSRI drugs?
Yes, to a large extent, but there's also other things as well.
You know, we have a very dark society compared to when I was a kid and when RFK Jr.
was a kid, as he said, people used to bring their guns to school for target practice and for, you know, part of the rifle club or part of ROTC or something like that.
They didn't ever turn the guns on other people.
I mean, it was unheard of when that happened in Columbine in the early 1990s.
That's become commonplace.
And they want to make sure that those of us with guns are not allowed to protect ourselves from this.
They want more chaos.
In the same way that they want more chaos in terms of the shoplifters and all the rest of this stuff.
The ranks of gun owners as they're growing, so does their resistance to scrutiny.
This is coming from Reason Magazine.
Researchers report that many gun owners, especially the new gun owners...
Deny owning any guns when they're asked by the New Jersey Gun Control Commission.
They're not a commission, but it's a study that's being put out there by Rutgers University.
Hi, I'm here studying gun violence, and I'd like to know about your guns.
Uh, I don't have any.
Go away. Believe it or not, people are reluctant to tell a total stranger about their potentially controversial activities, in particular, Rutgers University researchers.
Who say gun ownership is something many Americans decline to reveal when questioned by people they don't know.
That's especially true of women and minorities newly among the ranks of gun owners amidst the chaos of recent years.
Academics are unhappy that privacy-minded respondents impair their understanding of the world that we live in.
Oh, yeah. But they don't like to have...
Why should you tell something like that to somebody who is trying to make a criminal out of you?
And, you know, when you look at this, And you think about gun prohibition, which is really what they want.
How's that going to work out? How did it work out for alcohol prohibition?
How did it work out for the drug war?
Right? There are utter failures.
And we got more intensified forms of all of that.
You know, they went from, you know, doing illegal beer.
They went to doing illegal hard liquor.
And so it got worse.
And look at all the new and innovative forms of drugs and how they just continue to get more and more dangerous and concentrated.
That's what prohibition does.
Imagine what it's going to do to guns if they prohibit guns.
It's not going to stop people.
Again, just like when you talk about drug prohibition, alcohol prohibition, it's a spiritual problem.
It's a psychological problem and so forth.
And that is what is at play with these mass murders.
But anyway, they said some individuals are falsely denying their fire ownership.
They said a doctoral student at the University of Rutgers New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center.
Yeah, by all means, don't talk to these people.
Plead the fifth or say to them, ask me no questions, I'll tell you no longer.
You know this don't ask, don't tell stuff.
Maybe that's the policy that...
The Biden administration is now embracing.
They used to say that about the gay groups, you know, don't ask, don't tell.
Now I guess it's about Hunter Biden's drug problems, don't ask, don't tell.
Such practices would result in an underestimation of firearm ownership rates and diminish our capacity to test the association between firearm access and various firearm violence-related outcomes.
Well, I would have a question for this doctoral student from the University of Rutgers.
How do you know that people are lying to you?
How do you know that they've got a gun when they tell you they don't have a gun?
Is she making some kind of an assumption like the climate change people do?
And then we have the new American saying, victory for gun owners, frames and receivers are not firearms.
A federal district judge made permanent on June 30th this temporary restraining order against the ATF concerning parts of a firearm that the rogue agency declared were now firearms.
Well, I agree with that. I think the ATF is a rogue agency, and I was surprised.
That was not on the list. But like I said, you know, DeSantis, I have four agencies here that I want to get rid of.
Why would you keep the ATF? Everything they do, everything they do is a violation of the Second Amendment.
Everything they do is an infringement on our God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Everything they do is the entire agency...
is a rebellion against the Second Amendment because everything they do is an infringement.
And so in a sense, I don't really even see this as a victory.
Frames and receivers are not firearms.
If they were a firearm, they would be prohibited by the Constitution to infringe on your ability to have a frame and a receiver.
But the judge said a part that has not yet been completed or converted to function as a frame or receiver is not a frame or receiver.
Yeah, where do you start to draw the line?
You know, does it go back to an uncut bar of metal or something?
So now we're going to prohibit that?
This is the type of issues that you get into with the 3D printed guns as well.
So, you know, you put out instructions to people about how to do that.
Well, that's covered by the First Amendment.
We've had courts rule on that.
Are you going to tell people that they can't have a 3D printing capable machine?
Or some kind of a milling machine?
You're going to tell people you're going to prohibit those categorically?
Are you going to prohibit pieces of metal or plastic?
Where do you draw the line on this stuff?
And so he says the ATF's declaration that a component is a frame or receiver does not make it so.
He said, In sum, there is a legal distinction between a weapon parts kit, which may be an aggregation of partially manufactured parts that is not subject to the agency's regulatory authority, and a weapon, which may readily be completed or assembled to expel a projectile.
But I would say that according to the legitimate reading of the Second Amendment, that's none of their concern either.
He vacated the rule that the ATF sought to promulgate.
The ATF immediately appealed to the Fifth Court, where they have lost in that Fifth Circuit Court.
They've lost there over and over again.
The ATF changed its definition last summer of what constitutes a firearm after 45 years of refusing to do so.
It was merely following the orders from Joe Biden, the gun banner-in-chief, writes the New American.
You know, I like the new American, and I typically agree with him, but I've got to say I disagree with him on this.
It was pressure from Biden, of course.
However, why are we giving a pass to Trump?
Biden is simply just following the precedent of President Trump.
Why do we excuse that?
You see, we have to not give a pass to our party.
We don't want to have criminal dictators ruling because they're Republicans or because they're Trump.
I don't want a criminal dictator of either party.
And I don't want a dictator who tells me who's going to do gun banning by executive order.
And it was Trump who began that, not Biden.
And they immediately talked about it.
They said, well, you know, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that bump stocks cannot be classified as machine guns in December.
Who was it that classified them as machine guns?
Who was it that got the ATF to ban that?
It wasn't Obama.
The ATF under Obama said, no, we're not going to ban bump stocks.
It was Trump who did it.
Trump who did it to virtue signal to the left about the Las Vegas shooting.
And don't tell me that he's not going to be...
He's not going to betray us on every single issue if he gets a second term.
Presidents are always worse in the second term.
And Trump was betraying his base in his first term and doing something that no Democrat would ever do because they wouldn't get away with it.
And he did other things that a Democrat would not have gotten away with in terms of the lockdown and the vaccine stuff.
They had to have him in power.
I'm telling you, Trump is going to be very, very dangerous if he gets a second term.
And so is Biden, frankly.
And they're the two frontrunners.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal also declared the ATF's ban on bump stocks was illegal.
In May, the Fifth Circuit Court issued an injunction against the ATF over its pistol brace rule.
And let me just say, both of these things were Trump.
He did the bump stock ban.
And then he told them, do a pistol brace.
Ban. And they put it together.
And that was in 2019.
And they kicked it around.
And then in the transition period where he's trying to raise money from people and fleece them to the ultimate degree.
At that point in time, he got resistance from the NRA over the pistol brace thing.
He didn't get resistance from them over the bump stock.
And that's what delayed this.
And then in the period after the election, before January the 6th, He wanted to collect as much money as he could, fleece his MAGA cult.
And so he dropped the pistol brace ban that he was pursuing for over a year, for a year and a half.
And then it was picked back up again by Biden.
Biden is just doing what Trump started.
Gun control by executive order, including the pistol brace ban.
That specific thing was done by Trump.
Later in May, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas also declared that the ATF's rule on pistol braces was an example of the agency's overreach.
Well, that's good. But nowhere in this article do I see any condemnation of Trump.
We've got to get over this blind partisanship.
And that includes Breitbart, New American, WND. They're just blindly partisan and excusing everything that Trump has done.
We cannot do that.
We must not do that. Very, very dangerous.
We're going to be right back.
Stay with us. Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes.
The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
Hey! Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
All right.
Liberty.
It's your move.
move.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, we've had an interesting Supreme Court case.
And this is, I think this is very interesting.
Actually, I'm sorry, it's not a Supreme Court case.
It's a Ninth Circuit Court case, which I think even makes it more interesting.
This is about an Oregon law that forbids recording in public without consent.
And the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and it's a, you know, they hear these cases and, you know, this is three of the judges that are on that circuit court.
And if the other ones don't agree with us, then they will say we're going to meet and bonk.
We're going to have everybody meet.
And so that hasn't happened yet.
But what they're saying is that this Oregon law that says you can't record people without their consent in public runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.
Now this has big implications.
This is a case that had Project Veritas.
It goes back to when James O'Keefe was still there.
That's when this began.
But I think it has implications for David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress is basically doing the same type of thing that you see Project Veritas and O'Keefe doing all the time.
And that is, you know, meeting with people and engaging them in conversation in a restaurant or something like that.
And in the case of David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress, having these people admit to doing murder for hire with abortion clinics.
And so then you had Lala Harris, When she was a state attorney general in California, come after not the abortion clinics who were doing the murder for hire, but came after David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress, and they've been tied up in the courts ever since.
She went from attorney general to senator and then eventually to vice president.
She was replaced by Javier Becerra, who is now head of HHS for Biden.
He was also prosecuting and persecuting David Daleiden.
And now there is a third person there who is following through on that as well.
Now, as part of this lawsuit, they discovered, during discovery, they discovered that one of the big customers was the NIH looking for baby parts.
And Javier Becerra, who was the prosecuting attorney, then gets appointed by Biden To be the head of the agency that was shopping and buying the body parts.
Isn't that amazing? That's just disgusting.
But the Oregon law...
It goes back to 1955, and it was broadened more recently to bar any secret recordings of conversations.
The judges said it is unconstitutional.
And by the way, again, I think this is important because the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals also has jurisdiction over California, which is where this Center for Medical Progress thing is happening.
Oregon does not have a compelling interest in protecting people's privacy in public spaces, said the majority.
And so this is a key question.
I think that this would apply to David DeLine.
I mean, they did these recordings in public, in restaurants and things like that.
Maybe there were some meetings that were being held in somebody's office or something.
So I'm not sure about that.
And you know how they like to play with terms correctly.
You know, lawyers do.
So, you know, was it public or was it private?
Is it going to be different because of that?
And, you know, is a restaurant a public place and that type of thing?
But it may, and I think it will have, implications for this thing with David Delighton.
I mean, he's, you know, spent a fortune in legal defense fees, and it's still not done yet, but whatever happens with this.
And they're trying to come after him for criminal charges, felony.
Whatever happens with this, I expect that it's going to certainly be appealed, but it has become an ordeal.
And they're getting what they want, which is covering up their crimes, covering up murder for hire, murder of children, babies for hire, and keeping him from doing any investigative reporting.
So this judge who wrote the opinion was joined by another judge, who both of them were appointed by George W. Bush.
It was two to one, and the person who dissented was an Obama appointee.
She said, or he did, on a Morgan, I guess that could be male or female, has a significant interest in preventing the secret recording of private conversations, even when those conversations occur in public or semi-public locations.
Again, would an office be a semi-public location?
The new ruling overturns a previous decision by a lower court.
Project Veritas challenged this back in 2020, said that it would result in undercover reporters being criminally charged No theory there.
We see that happening with David Daleiden.
People have refused to talk in the past from being told that they're being recorded, said the group, meaning that the law prevented reporters from exercising their First Amendment rights.
And so, again, one of the other arguments that they made in this was that the law was overruled on the basis of the First Amendment because it was content-based discrimination.
They said law enforcement was not barred from making recordings of people in public.
It's just individuals were.
So they said, well, you can't have that either.
So I think it's a good ruling.
We need to, you know, needs to be extended to what is happening, that persecution in California.
Meanwhile, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled in favor of a pro-life law banning most abortions.
Enacted last August, the Indiana law forbids all abortions except those sought due to rape or incest during the first 10 weeks of the mother's health, mother's pregnancy.
And permits abortion if the pre-born child suffers from an irremediable medical condition that is incompatible with sustained life outside of the womb up to 20 weeks.
Well, the abortion industry sued.
and they did it two months after The Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
Wade. The highest court in the state in Indiana, the Supreme Court in Indiana, however, ruled that the Indiana Constitution protects a woman's right to an abortion only when necessary to protect her life or to protect her from a serious health risk.
Otherwise, it retains broad legislative discretion for determining whether and to the extent to which to prohibit abortions.
Biden has called, and this is LifeSite News, right?
Very pro-life, a Catholic site.
That's one of their key things, actually.
Their reason for existing, LifeSite News, pro-life.
They said President Biden has called on Congress to codify a right to abortion in federal law.
Which would not only restore but expand the Roe status quo by making it illegal for states to pass virtually any pro-life laws.
You see? I wish they would expand that and put that on their site.
Because when you see Trump and many other Republicans, Pence and others, running on this and saying, we need to have a federal law that will prohibit abortion in all of these different states.
They are absolutely wrong.
They are not going to be able to stop abortions in New York and California if the New York and California governments want to not enforce that.
You can't commandeer people.
That's the nullification process of it.
And if there's not a consensus for it in those states, they're going to continue to do it.
What will happen is exactly what they said here about Joe Biden.
If you make it a federal law, You have now done that, and the reason that Roe v.
Wade was thrown out was because the justices said that the federal court doesn't have the legitimate authority to define when life begins.
And we're going to leave that under the Tenth Amendment.
That needs to be left to the states.
So if you bring this in at the federal level, Then what you're going to wind up doing is expanding the status of Roe by making it illegal for states to pass virtually any pro-life laws.
And the states will not stand on their 10th Amendment powers as we saw for 50 years with Roe v.
Wade. They should have immediately said, we have the 10th Amendment, we're going to prohibit abortion here.
They will obey, the Republican states will obey any federal law that says that you can't protect innocent life.
The Democrat states will not.
And the reason that Trump and Pence and other people want that there, and that includes some pro-life groups, they want it there because they want that wedge issue back.
That's why they want it there.
Vote for me, and I'll set the limit at a different level than these other people will.
The Biden Department of Justice is pressuring journalists in the UK to help build its case against Assange.
They're really ramping this up.
And remember that, again, this did not happen until the Trump administration.
It did not happen until Bill Barr, CIA Bill Barr, You know, he's always been there.
Been there with George H.W. Bush.
He heard that guy say, well, you know, I was a George H.W. Bush man.
Now I'm a Trump man. He has absolutely no understanding about, you know, when we talk about somebody who's deep state, it doesn't get any deeper than George H.W. Bush.
And so anyway, he picked to rebuild the CIA. He picked Bill Barr, then made him his Attorney General.
Well, the youngest, if not the youngest, Attorney General.
And then when Bill Barr got, CIA Bill Barr got put in, and I said that at the time, so why is he putting it?
He's supposed to be in opposition to the CIA, in opposition to the Bushes and all the rest of it, and Trump is putting in Bill Barr?
Oh, now MAGA hates Bill Barr.
Why? Oh, not because he's CIA, not because he came after Julian Assange for revenge for the CIA. No, they hate him because he's saying bad things about President Trump.
That's the only thing that matters to them.
Anyway, the Department of Justice writes James Ball.
He is writing for Rolling Stone and talking about his personal experience.
He said, the Department of Justice and FBI are pressuring multiple British journalists to cooperate with the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange using vague threats and pressure tactics in the process.
I know because I'm one of the British journalists being pressured to cooperate against him.
And he said, under Barack Obama, the Department of Justice decided that it could not prosecute Assange without threatening U.S. journalists and their First Amendment protections.
But first under Trump and then under Biden, the department has reversed itself.
This is something else on which these two deep state puppets agree.
They don't care about free speech and they don't care about the free press.
And they don't care about the Constitution.
And they want to get Joe Biden because they are puppets of the deep state, of the CIA. We've got Tony ready to join us.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll pick this up on the other side.
I want to talk to Tony. There's many things that are happening now.
With money, interest rates, and other things, but especially with freedom in terms of having the ability to conduct financial transactions.
So we're going to be talking about that with Tony Arderman.
Stay with us. We will be right back.
Music You're
listening to The David Knight Show.
Joining us now is Tony Arterbin.
He has wisewolf.gold and he's kindly set up davidnight.gold.
If you want to go through us, he knows that you came through us.
But again, I've said many times that you can take a look at the depressed value, the artificially depressed value of gold and silver.
And that's one thing that makes it attractive to own it.
But when I look at what is happening with surveillance and recognition and all kinds of biometric stuff being folded into IDs, I've got tons of news about this happening all over the world.
People like Nigel Farage getting banned out of the financial system, banned out of banks and that type of thing.
To me, that is the real issue about gold and silver, having something that is real money that is outside of the system.
So joining us now is Tony.
Thank you for joining us, Tony.
What's on your mind? Always great to be here.
You're absolutely right. Gold and silver, not only are they money, but gold and silver are freedom.
They're outside of the system.
You can't trace gold.
You can't track gold. Physical gold in your hand is liberty.
I've thought that since my dad told me about gold and silver when I was a little kid.
So, I mean, we look at this massive surveillance state that they're building, and they're going to roll out the central bank digital currencies.
And we had the IMF recently talking about one currency to rule them all, you know, their unicoin and everything else that's rolled into that.
David, I think it's more important than ever to check out gold and silver, to look at precious metals, the physical metals in your hand to be outside of the system.
Yeah, absolutely. We've got talk about interest rates and the fact that the interest rates are now back on the table for the Federal Reserve.
And, of course, every time they raise interest rates, the dollar goes up and gold goes on sale for a little time, right?
They're talking about moving at another 50 basis points, I guess, here at the end of this month.
I don't know. I think a lot of that is just kind of a sideshow.
The dollar, if you look at something called money velocity, the money velocity is about the supply of currency in a system and the rate of transactions.
And we've talked about this many times before on your show, but we see this massive decline in the rate of transactions using dollars.
So you have to have demand to go along without supply.
And if you're tracking what happened, 80% of all the dollars ever created created in the last 48 months And you couple that with the loss of the world's reserve currency status slowly diminishing.
It's not gone yet. And that's why I think a lot of times gold bugs are, you know, we look kind of silly sometimes because we're always saying the collapse of the dollar is imminent.
Well, it is because you look at the math is happening, but it's happening slowly.
It's kind of like you talk about that Hemingway quote about gradually then suddenly about going bankrupt.
It's the same system for the dollar.
So I'm looking at that.
I'm looking at the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar as well.
Well, you know, you talk about all the dollars that have been created in the last few years with the quantitative easing.
And now, I think it was the Mises Institute I covered it.
They were saying that they started contracting the money supply so quickly, quantitative tightening.
It's the biggest contraction that they've had since just before the Great Depression.
You know, that's part of it.
What they're doing here is what they did with the interest rates.
It's not just raising the interest rates, but it's doing it so quickly that the banks could not even cover themselves, right, in terms of, you know, going up 75 basis points each quarter or whatever or each month.
And that's what we see over and over again, right?
We've got to go to 2030.
We've got to go to electric cars.
We can't wait for this stuff to be fixed, and we can't wait to have the charging stations and the power grid supplied and all that.
We've got to do it now.
And it's always this rush, rush, rush as part of their planned chaos.
And so there's an economic planned chaos to this and the fact that they are rushing, you know, pumping up these interest rates so rapidly and then at the same time restricting the money supply that they had lavished on everybody, starting to pull that back in as well.
I thought it was interesting. To me, that was just the picking of winners and losers.
They decided to forego stimulating the economy with QE and to save the dollar.
They're going to keep the dollar strong.
I think that's part of their strategy going forward into this decade.
The people that have gotten used to that deep injection of debt Into the system are going to be surprised that the Fed doesn't step in.
I think they're going to just watch and stand on the sidelines as a lot of these smaller regional banks and financial institutions and businesses go out of business and that the bigs, the too big to fail and too big to jail, get bigger because we're going to use and piggyback these larger banks to roll out the central bank digital currency.
You've got Fed now rolling out this month.
That is the bones in the structure for the central bank digital currency.
And it's going to be the bigs that are part of that system.
The regional and smaller banks, I think, are going to be under a lot of pressure here in the next 24 to 36 months.
If not, I think a great many of them will go out of business, unfortunately.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, there's an article from Breitbart saying that – The housing market has declared its independence from the Fed, saying that even as they continue to raise interest rates, that the housing market is, there's a lot of construction that is happening, all the rest of the stuff.
That's really out of sync with what's going on with commercial real estate.
And the commercial real estate is the thing that, you know...
These people may or may not be able to sell these houses because people may or may not be able to qualify for loans at these higher prices.
Maybe they're making smaller, cheaper houses so people can qualify for it.
But the real issue we talked about in terms of economics, I think, Gerald Slenty has been on this for years.
The fact that commercial real estate is just a hollow shell of what it used to be.
These people having their loans re-evaluated, they're on variable rate interest loans, and these banks are so extended into this stuff it could collapse the banking industry regardless of what happens with the housing industry.
I think it was R. Buckminster Fuller.
He wrote a book back in the early 80s called Grunch of Giants.
It means gross universal cash heist.
He was really ahead of his time talking about what was going to happen with these elites.
And his prediction was, and I don't want to misquote him, but I'm pretty sure his prediction was that these high-rise office buildings would eventually be single-family homes or units or apartments because the businesses themselves...
Kind of going back to something that wasn't it Marx was talking about, the capitalists would make the rope to hang themselves.
A lot of these businesses that are buying into this current financial system have put themselves out of business.
If you supported the lockdowns, if you supported that, you supported the work-from-home system, I mean, all of that is just really coming full circle.
And I agree with watching Gerald Salente talk about this and seeing the statistics come out.
It's going to be a massive...
Yeah.
Yeah. So I know it well, but I think we're going to see something we've never seen before.
There's a lot of firsts coming, I think, in this decade, David, with the monetary system.
Americans just haven't...
We've never lost the world's reserve currency status.
We've never done that before.
We've never lost a currency.
And I think that, again, they're going to try to replace it with the central bank digital currency, but there's going to be a lot of economic turmoil.
I think the commercial real estate bubble is just part of that.
Yeah, even if they were to take New York, for example, individual housing prices are soaring there.
And yet, the commercial real estate is just crashing.
And so even if they were to convert that, you'd say, well, natural to try to make conversions into residential real estate for these office buildings.
That'd be very expensive to do.
But before you could even do that, you're going to have some kind of a massive financial crisis that's going to have to run through all the banking system.
Banks are going to have to be bailed out and all the rest of this stuff.
And then that creates another big issue that's going to run through the economy.
Even before you get to the point of saying, well, now what do we do with these empty structures?
You're going to have massive financial crises and unrest that are going to be running through and massive bailouts.
And we know what that's going to mean in terms of You know, trillions of dollars, and we're getting to the tipping point where we're not going to even be able to make the interest payments on all the money that we have in terms of cumulative debt in Washington.
That's the key thing, but they don't care about that.
It's amazing. And there's cocaine in the White House.
I wonder what drugs they have at the Federal Reserve.
It's got to be a massive stockpile of whatever they're taking.
I think you're right about that.
I mean, there's no good choices here.
You know, the dollar's already been destroyed.
I mean, you would have to have a massive summit of economics to come together and repurpose this currency.
You'd have to tag it to gold and peg it to gold.
You'd have to have some kind of bimetallic system.
I don't know how that would even save the dollar at this point.
War certainly will stave off a collapse of it.
Now, it looks like if you read the headlines of antiwar.com, it's just terrifying.
You know, you talked about, you know, Before the 2020 election, you said that if we got Biden, we'd have war with Russia.
We got Trump, we'd have war with China.
And if we're really unlucky, we'll have war with both.
We're unlucky, David.
I really don't want to think that either.
Just in my background as being a combat veteran and just, I don't know, it's like if you have a sore hip or something and it rains, you start getting that little bit of arthritic inflammation.
I feel the same way just looking at these headlines and there's no off-ramps.
I know that there's something in this that has to do with currency.
It's the reason I'm in the business that I'm in.
When I started studying history and really looking at things, I've always been interested in coins and history.
It always goes back to me to the monetary system.
Everything tracks back to that.
So I'm looking at this and wondering...
In the scheme of things, all this geopolitical upheaval, it has something to do with the dollar.
Studying that, I think, is really the most important thing that you can look at right now, these two things together, the currency system, the financial system, and geopolitics.
Well, when you look at what I talked about earlier, Chris Hedge is talking about, yeah, everything about these wars is a lie, but it's all about money.
Fundamentally, it's about money. I mean, this is a big money play.
All these wars are. The military-industrial complex is huge amounts of money, and that's why they keep doing it, because they keep making money.
They'll kill us to make money off of wars.
They'll kill us to make money off of drugs.
And so it really does come back to that, and it's also going to be the way they cover their tracks for their kind of reset.
And I see all this stuff, as we point out, 2030 has been their deadline for a very long time, and we are not that far away.
We're six and a half years away, and it's going to be the bulk of the time between now and then is going to be whoever is the next president.
And so you look at these people and...
Who is it that has been doing the bidding of the globalists the last several years, since 2020?
Well, that's the two frontrunners that we've got.
It's not a hopeful situation when you look at it from that standpoint.
But it really is about the money.
Even the wars are about the money.
And does it look good? And you played that clip of the man in the MAGA hat, talking about how he would defend Trump even if he murdered somebody in the steps of the White House.
I often wondered how these people in the 19th century here in the United States, and they would show up for picnics to watch the war, and then they would be just horrified at the actual violence and carnage, you know, when a cannonball runs through and rips people's legs off.
They weren't They weren't prepared for that somehow.
Somehow they didn't understand that that was going to happen.
I think I understand now.
I look at the populace. I look at the politicians.
We've got our set of people here that tune into your show, people that are paying attention.
But it's absolutely terrifying.
What we talked about off-air.
The two stories that really struck me today when I was looking at the headlines, both on Zero Hedge, one was that people were panic searching for pawn shop near me.
That was the first story. Google spiked all across the board on people trying to find a pawn shop, trying to get rid of things that they bought during this cheap influx of cash and debt.
The other one was that eight central banks...
Mm-hmm.
That's been a change since 2008-2009, David.
They've been net buyers slowly increasing.
Last year broke all the records.
I don't know what we're going to do this year.
But again, that's a trend.
Those are two things that really you should pay attention to.
The largest banks and the financial systems in the world are ordering gold.
And that the regular people are trying to find a pawn shop.
This is not good. You know, when you're talking about the people who showed up at the beginning of the Civil War by the Battle of First Manassas, everybody was told, just like I was talking about, you know, Chris Hedges said the lies that they tell us, you know, victory is going to be easy, it'll be quick, and it is certain.
We're going to win. Our side's going to win.
And all these people are used to watching all these military parades and everybody.
Oh, that's going to be great. Let's go watch it.
And I was thinking about that.
It's funny you mentioned that because I was thinking about that as we were watching fireworks on the 4th of July evening.
And we're up on a high elevation, and we can see people shooting off fireworks way off in the distance on high elevations.
And this would be... You know, entertainment places and like Dollywood and stuff like that.
But just a whole bunch of them as everybody was shooting off their private fireworks.
And I was thinking about that very thing.
About how people would, you know, hear this, you know, from a distance in a war.
You know, today as well as then.
You know, you see these explosions going off.
And I thought, you know, it's kind of amazing...
And when you are detached from that kind of distance like we were from these fireworks, it's one thing, but then when it gets up close and personal, it's a very different thing.
And that's my concern about this, because I don't think that this war is going to be, as they keep pushing this everywhere, I don't think it's going to be a distant thing.
We sit there and we observe it.
I think it's going to come home to us, and I think it'll come home to us, even if it doesn't come home in bombs and missiles and kinetic warfare here in the United States.
I think it'll come home in terms of cybersecurity attacks, economic mayhem, and all the rest of this.
I think The grid will go down.
The internet will go down. All these different types of things are going to go down.
And, you know, I think that's what they want.
I think they want to take everything down so they can establish this system.
And I think it's pretty certain that they're going to do it.
It's just a question of exact timing.
Well, that's the question.
It's time. You know, the CIA has a term for it.
for it's called blowback.
Eventually things that you do come back to you.
I don't know why that's such a complicated, I don't know why they even have, it has a term for that.
It just seems like common sense, but we've been running around the world, you know, night sticking people as Pat Buchanan said, as the policeman of the world, so-called.
You know, we've got 700 bases in 132 countries.
We've broken all of our promises to former adversaries like the Soviet Union, you know, To trace back the origin story of this war in Ukraine, you have to go back to the fall of the Soviet Union when Secretary of State James Baker told Gorbachev verbally that if they withdrew their troops, the Soviet troops, into the natural borders of Russia, that we would not expand NATO. We gave that promise.
It represented the American people for peace.
And Gorbachev did that.
And then we expanded NATO. And we've been expanding NATO ever since.
And you had crazy people like John McCain, you know, trying to get, just desperately trying to get Ukraine into NATO before he died.
I mean, can you imagine how he succeeded?
He'd already be in World War III. That's a red line for Russia.
And these goofballs and teleprompter readers in the mainstream media, they have no historical sense.
They have no idea what they're looking at, how dangerous this is.
And again, I think you're right.
It's going to come home. It has to.
Economically, socially, everything.
The amount of hubris that's baked into this system, it always summons nemesis.
That's right. Well, you know, like I said, if it's a cyber attack, it's going to be very difficult for anybody to pin it on someone.
And so that's why I think it's going to be something like that.
Which, you know, when you look at crypto, there's been some interesting moves.
You've got BlackRock saying that they want to set up an ETF for crypto.
So you don't have to actually...
Own crypto. You can bet on it without actually owning it.
I mean, how far detached from reality can we get?
And they're not the only one of the institutions that's looking at it.
Of course, they're the key one. And whenever BlackRock does something, it's a big way.
But there's several of them looking at it.
And so you've got Coindesk saying, well, are we seeing institutions returning trust to crypto?
I don't necessarily think so.
Because, again, I think one of the reasons why BlackRock is doing this ETF is because they know that the U.S. government is hell-bent on making sure nobody owns crypto.
So this will be a way that you can profit from crypto without having a direct conflict with the U.S. government that's going to prohibit you from owning it.
Don't you think? Isn't that... That's exactly right.
I think you're onto something there, David.
Larry Fink said that he wanted to democratize Bitcoin.
Well, I don't like that word because to me, democracy is the mob.
It's the end of freedom. He's showing you what he wants to do.
These institutions, these mega banks, antithetical to liberty, antithetical to freedom, antithetical to free markets.
And they want to hijack crypto.
Crypto itself, I mean, especially Bitcoin, was built on having decentralization.
The individual having their own keys, their own wallet, owning that sovereign.
And these banks hate that.
I think you look at Bitcoin's prices over $30,000 right now, Dave.
And it's just kind of steady.
It is interesting to watch that.
And I think more and more countries...
Or, you know, their populations are adopting Bitcoin in everyday transactions, especially in places like Africa and South America.
And so we're watching that.
These banks know it.
So, no, this is a hijacking.
These institutions want to, you know, there's apps that you can own.
And I think the Robinhood app is that way, where you can own Bitcoin, sort of, but you can't transfer it.
So you can have the stock of Bitcoin, which I don't like.
Bitcoin is like gold and silver.
You don't need an ETF. You need to own it yourself.
And I think this is the move here.
You're exactly right. The governments may get harder and harder for you to own anything yourself, but don't worry about that.
You can invest with us and we'll hold it for you, which is really the hope.
It's missing the point of crypto.
Yeah, instead of, you know, again, crypto is a virtual thing.
It's not tangible. And it's got vulnerabilities with the internet and that type of stuff.
But it was set up to have proof of work to keep it honest.
And so they want to vilify that and say, no, we're going to have proof of stake.
It's going to be worth what it's worth because we say what it's worth or because we can manipulate it, that type of thing.
But then BlackRock goes another level and goes into derivative stuff.
They criminalize...
Or trying to criminalize crypto for a variety of reasons.
But the big excuse that they're using, of course, is the fact that it's not green enough, that it uses a lot of energy.
And I just keep seeing, when I see, there was a report that came out talking about Netflix and how 30, or not just Netflix, but just streaming in general.
And it was like 36% of people who are watching movies or watching it and it's the biggest stake are doing it via streaming, that type of thing.
And I was thinking, well, so how much energy is that, computational power is that?
When you've got that many people streaming stuff over the internet, is that bigger than all the mining work that's being done by people?
And of course, they don't care about artificial intelligence and the fact that it's data mining and computing its base, or they don't care about the surveillance agencies.
But it's amazing to me just how selective they are in their concern about computer resources using power.
And it's just another example of their covering up what their real agenda is.
It's a really naked agenda that they've got of just trying to control everything that we've got.
And they'll come up with any kind of excuse.
And of course, now the excuse of the day is it's not green enough.
And so they're coming after it from that as well.
It's truly amazing to watch this.
But again, as you point out, people, in spite of all of these pushes by the American government to try to shut off the on-ramps and the off-ramps, on and off-ramps, as we've talked about in the past, the price has gone up quite a bit and is holding firm, just over $30,000.
It's amazing. That has to do with the fact that it is decentralized.
It's not owned by a company or a country, and it's finite.
You know, something that today's fiat currency is absolutely not.
It's unlimited, and people know that.
You know, and you look at the environmental issue, David, and I've said this before, but what does the...
Through banking sector, the actual just regular banking sector in the third dimension, how much power does that need?
It dwarfs Bitcoin by factors of like 100.
I mean, it's a massive amount of power.
Just to power the ATMs and the branch locations, I mean, it's silly.
Yeah. And they pick these.
This is, again, just like the New York Times has really started this, where look at how bad it is for the environment.
And that's when I think it's gotten away from them.
You know, and again, you can argue about the origin story of Bitcoin.
I don't know. I've been using Bitcoin since 2016.
I'm a bit agnostic on the origin story, but I like the fact that so many of these institutions attack it constantly.
Governments attack it constantly, and I can see why.
You know, because it really flies in the face of what they're trying to do, which is control you financially, to be able to control the markets, the systems themselves, to be able to blackmail these countries with sanctions.
You can't do that If the people have their own currency, you're not...
I mean, again, it's like I go back to people asking me about should the dollar be pegged to gold?
I'm like, I don't think the government should be in the currency business.
I really don't. We have a gold standard.
It's worldwide. We have a silver standard.
It's worldwide. I mean, anybody in the financial sector knows the price of gold.
That's money to me.
You have Bitcoin. It's worldwide.
Same thing. I think it's just they've proven themselves to be obsolete.
And that's where we are in the dangerous part of all this.
And look at the scenario where the Bitcoin revolt that the...
Pentagon ran a war simulation against three years ago where they thought that Gen Z might revolt, an internal revolt against the dollar and just choose Bitcoin.
And so the Pentagon was wargaming that to see what it would look like.
They're paying attention to this.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, just like they wargamed Darlington, South Carolina, you know, a bunch of conservatives and they want to secede in that small town.
What are we going to do about that to stop that?
Yeah, you were talking about the ATMs.
I mean, South Korea's largest bank, Thank you.
Is moving now to facial recognition at their ATMs and they've got 900 ATMs.
So you're looking at, you know, combining all the power requirements of the ATMs plus all the surveillance and data transmission.
I mean, you got a lot of data to transmit back and forth to validate that supercomputers that are going to hold that information.
But again, this is the closing off of the financial, uh, the ability to do finances.
And we're seeing that happening to Nigel Farage and other people in the UK. That's the part of this that really concerns me.
Over and above, you know, they're manipulating the value of these things.
It's that privacy issue and that slavery issue that comes along with CBDC. And it's running out.
Everybody is doing this worldwide.
It's a worldwide pilot scheme.
They're all on the same page.
We know what that looks like.
We've already seen that with the pandemic.
We know what their agenda is as well.
Absolutely.
Next iteration is going to be tied to climate, to the environment.
And then we all have to get on board.
We all have to do our part.
And you have to submit your biometrics and who you are, your identity, so we can help track your carbon footprint.
Don't you want to help?
Don't you want to be part of the solution?
That's what you're going to be seeing over and over again in the coming months and years.
This is just a way for them to link up all these systems.
They talked about the New World Order going in regions.
You'd have the North American Union.
You'd have the Asian sphere.
And they would eventually link up into one world government.
They're doing this through the financial system right now, David.
There's an internal war on who gets to control the new world order, but it's really all about one currency.
It's really all about one system.
You have the BRICS nations against the West in so many ways.
The BRICS are going to be meeting in August to talk about pegging the currency they have to gold and other commodities.
The dollar is, you know, under siege and at war with gold and other sources of value.
But again, it's really all these other systems.
They were just competing to bring us the central bank digital currency, whether it's floated by China or whether it's floated by the U.S. Yeah, you're absolutely right.
When you go back and you look at their plans, you know, to create the North American Union, to create, you know, the Asian bloc, to create European markets and that type.
First, they come up with a common market.
And then the next move is to come up with a common currency.
And then the next move is governance.
And so that's really the same pattern that they're following worldwide right now.
It truly is amazing.
Let's talk a little bit about what's going on with Wise Wolf Gold.
Tell us what's happening there.
Well, you know, this last eight months I've been working on this satellite location here in North Texas, and it's close to the trading floor here in Denison, and I've got my main branch in Branson, Missouri.
Both shops are doing well.
We've got listeners from the David Knight Show show up here at the Denison location.
They show up in Branson, so it's always good to see your listeners.
And, of course, we've got Wolfpack.
Which is our membership program and so many David Knight listeners there.
I haven't been here in a couple weeks and I'm sorry I missed you, but we've still got the silver dollar giveaway.
If you join any tier on the Wolfpack, then we're going to get a free silver dollar.
I meant to say last time, if you upgrade...
And you let us know, hey, I need to upgrade.
If you want to go from, say, lone wolf to warrior, you still get a silver dollar.
That's a new member to me.
Wow. So I've still got about 100 or so left.
My crew gave me an inventory count yesterday, and that's just a gift to saying thanks for everybody who's joining, because the more people that join, again, we're getting close to about 800 members.
So all across the country, we've got Wolfpack members, and that just makes us stronger.
I'm doing buy-ins on collections and I'm doing buy-ins on fractional gold, which is not that easy to get these days and get good prices on.
We do something, we'll save you money because we buy these big sheets of one gram gold bars.
So they come in like hundreds at a time and we'll break them off and put them into individual sleeves so people are able to save a little bit.
When you go through Wolfpack, you get a good mixture of gold and silver.
And so we're just all about getting physical gold and silver.
I'm keeping the supply chain open.
I'll be in Branson next week for a couple weeks there.
So we're just keeping the supply chain open.
New memberships and mints.
I'm looking at that. Kenzie's been...
It's been on me. There's new mints that we need to join so we can get access to that, and that's something I'll be working on today.
So all in all positive news, I think the market's still, David, it's still not supplied like it was before 2020.
I don't think we'll ever see those days again where I just have this unlimited selection.
There's a bit of a lull because of the price.
I think these are good It's a good time to buy when the price is down like it is.
And I don't think that's going to get better.
I mean, when you see the two headlines of people panic searching pawn shop near me and then the central banks loading up on gold, those are key indicators that something's wrong.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's the thing.
You know, it's the funny thing.
Nobody, if the price is down, people don't want to take advantage of it.
You know, when the price goes up, then everybody will buy it at the higher price.
It's funny. I know. But, yeah, I'll mention that on the interview.
I'll tell people, you know, upgrade or, you know, the Wolfpack thing or to just buy in at any level for the listeners of the David Knight Show while supplies last.
I've got about 100 left, and we'd love to have anybody that's considering on the fence about Wolfpacker joining.
We've got a new product coming out very soon called the Wolf Cub, and it's for kids.
It's going to be a little bit less than the Lone Wolf, so that could be a gift.
Kenzie and I have been thinking about, you know, little educational things to put in there to teach kids about coins and the monetary system in a way that they could understand it.
So we're working on some updates there and a new customizable tier called Zen Wolf that you can anything over a thousand and you can you can we'll customize your invoice for you.
So we've got some innovations coming to Wolfpack as well.
That's great.
I love the fact that, you know, that's the real power is to just do it on a persistent, small basis, you know?
It's not doing it in spurts a little bit at a time, but just doing it consistent.
That's a very important thing.
For a very important power that people can have.
On Rumble, Nick Ellenbecker, thank you for the tip.
He says, always enjoy segments with Tony.
I do too, as well.
And so it's great having you on, Tony.
Thank you for all that you do for us, and thank you.
It's great to have somebody there that you know and trust.
I had a story that I covered on Tuesday on 4th of July about a couple of people who got scammed out of everything.
They thought they were investing in crypto, and the website was the only thing that was there.
There was nothing that was real about that.
So it's important to have somebody that you know, and it's important to have something that you're going to get that is physical and tangible and all of those things, because there's a lot of smoke and mirrors out there with a lot of different people.
And so have somebody that you know, that you trust, that can give you physical money that you can hold.
That's really valuable, and that's what you provide for people.
Perfect. Thank you for your support of this program.
I appreciate that as well.
Thank you, David. All right.
Tony Arterman, again, you can find.
You can get to wisewolf.gold through davidknight.gold, and he knows that you've come through us.
We're going to take a quick break as we leave in this segment.
Well, when we come back, we'll play what Nigel Farage says is happening to him in the UK, and not just to him.
It's happening to other people as well.
So stay with us.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
Yeah, as I was saying, the largest South Korean bank.
Facial recognition, they call it Shinhan Face Pay.
They call it Face Plant.
That's what this is going to turn into.
A 3D facial feature mapping solution.
I'm sure that doesn't use any power whatsoever.
And no concern at all about privacy, right?
And of course, this is all being sold to us through the climate agenda.
And as I was pointing out yesterday, NBC News, not Nuclear Biological Chemical, but might as well be.
It's weaponized. Nuclear, biological, chemical, and propagandical.
That's what NBC has become.
They say, you know, we've got all these conspiracy theories about climate.
And they just keep using that term over and over again.
Conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory.
When are they going to realize that that doesn't really have any power anymore?
It's become very cartoonish to accuse people of this.
While these conspiracy theories become commonplace...
Repeated by Fox News pundits.
Repeated by Dutch farmers.
Oh, really? You mean they're really not going to steal their farms and give them virtually nothing?
And, you know, the second largest exporter of food after the United States, and they've got a teeny, tiny, teeny, tiny country.
You know, the European nations are very small compared to the United States, each of them, and this is one of the smallest ones.
Amazingly productive, so they go to shut them down first.
That's just a conspiracy theory.
They're not really going to do it. Well, that's good news.
I'm glad that it's just a theory that's not really happening, according to NBC. And then they say British lawmakers or Austrian nationalists.
Oh, these people are extreme and outlandish.
It is cartoonish.
What CNN and NBC do in terms of characterizing this stuff.
One of the remarkable things said an expert in misinformation out of Alberta University in Canada.
He's an expert in...
That's his title, according to that.
And it's not, you know, his official title.
But he is an expert in misinformation.
Well, I would say he is if he's going to tell people that this is just a conspiracy theory, that they're going to shut down the Dutch forums.
He is an expert in misinformation.
So is NBC. But he says, one of the remarkable things is the normalization of hardcore conspiracy theories.
This isn't like conspiracy theory light.
It's hardcore conspiracy theory, he says.
Well, take a look. Is it a conspiracy theory that they're going to...
They've got this hard deadline of 2030, and they're going to make sure they shut everything down to, you know, protect the climate and everything?
Here is Prince Charles, and they kicked off...
The 2030 Climate Clock.
The Mayor of London.
Your actions matter.
The estimated deadline for limiting climate change to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
But the UK's climate watchdog had a stern warning for the government today.
The Climate Change Committee said its confidence that the government would meet its own legally binding targets for cutting emissions by the end of the decade had fallen markedly.
It's amazing. You look at that guy and the displays that they've got there and the climate clocks that Prince Charles and Sadiq Khan of London, pushing the things, kicking off the climate clock.
And then the big displays.
Time is running out of limiting this to a one and a half degree change.
We'll just take the thermometers off the airport tarmac.
We'll be fine. It's cartoonish.
This is like an over-the-top satire that you would see in The Hunger Games or Idiocracy or something.
It absolutely is ridiculous.
And if you want to know why they're coming after Nigel Farage...
Listen to this quote from the NBC conspiracy article.
Nigel Farage, the far-right populist, former leader of the Brexit party, who unsuccessfully ran for parliament seven times.
Oh, can they come up with any other things to attack him over?
Said on Twitter last week, Mark my words, this isn't going to end with 20 mile-per-hour zones and low-traffic neighborhoods.
No, no, this is the beginning.
Of climate lockdowns.
And boom! They locked down his bank account.
Right after he said that. It was as he was winning.
By the way, NBC, you're not winning any journalistic awards or audiences.
Or CNN. But Nigel Farage did.
He got the Broadcaster of the Year.
As they were shutting down his bank account.
And this is what he had to say.
Yes, the bank that closed me out was Cootes.
Now they say they've offered me a NatWest account.
That wasn't until late on Thursday night after I'd blown the story out there which said that then seven other banks had refused me.
That is now nine other banks that have refused me.
They're telling the press I don't meet their wealth threshold.
Well, they've never mentioned that before in the previous ten years.
The worst of the story is they denied to me on the phone on Friday that I was a pep.
A politically exposed person.
That's the reason nobody else will have me.
And Koops are frankly being very, very dishonest indeed.
They shut down my access to PayPal five months after the program started.
And at that time, it was a pretty severe blow because we were getting most of our money through PayPal donations.
And I could not get any explanation from them.
I spent a lot of time with a representative and all he could say was, well, I've never seen this before.
It's really strange. And there's no explanation that I can find anywhere.
It's just shut this account down right now.
And it has been shut down.
Of course, they did it. Venmo is owned by PayPal.
They did it at the same time.
And then NBC continues to talk about how all these climate lockdown ideas, as well as the 15-minute city ideas, are just a conspiracy theory.
They say, can you imagine, at a protest in Oxford, February the 18th, one placard said, the 15-minute WEF, World Economic Forum.
WEF ghettos are not about climate.
It's about tyrannical control.
Well, they're 100% right.
They said they compared it to Nazi concentration camps, to the Warsaw Ghetto.
And I would also add to the reservation, the American reservation system that we put the Indians on.
I think that's a very apt comparison.
Probably more so than the concentration camps.
To talk about the American Indian system.
You put these people, you take them off of their land, forcibly remove them from their land.
You put them into a confined area that they're not allowed to leave.
But they can travel freely there.
You know, it's one of the things George Washington said about the British at the time.
He said, yeah, yes, they have freedom as well.
They walk about freely, but it's between high walls.
And that's what they did on the reservation system to the Indians.
Yeah, you can walk around freely, but we're not going to let you earn a living or hunt or farm like you used to or whatever.
No, that's going to be hidden.
You will be completely dependent on us.
But we'll have a welfare system, and it'll be administered by a very corrupt bureaucracy.
That's the system.
I think that this smart city stuff and these 15-minute cities look more like the American Indian Reservation System than any other thing.
But anyway, it's climate conspiracies is what they're focused on.
They are manipulating the 15-minute concept into an open-air jail, said the guy, Carlos Marino, who was the one who came up with the concept.
Well, he didn't come up with the concept.
He just branded it as a 15-minute city.
They've been working on this for a very long time.
They say that around 2016, Carlos, who is from South America, developed an idea that communities should be structured around people and not cars.
As I've said before, the very first Earth Day, 1970, ban all the cars.
We've got to get rid of cars. This is nothing new.
This has been around for 53 years.
They've been saying, we've got to get rid of all cars.
I don't want cars in cities. They're awful.
Pave paradise and put up a parking lot, Joni Mitchell said.
The left and the radical left and the environmentalists and the depopulationists, they always hate cars.
But you know, they also hate people as well.
But in this, they say, well, no, no, we're structuring this around.
We love people.
We just hate cars.
We just hate freedom. He said communities should be structured around people, not cars.
He said everything should be available to them.
And of course, you know, it was not really anything that was unique to him, just like geoengineering was always a conspiracy theory.
Now they're saying that 15-minute city concept and the fact this is a lockdown, that's a conspiracy theory.
Geoengineering was a conspiracy theory.
We're not doing it. We're not going to do it.
Now they say, yeah, we're doing it, and it's great.
You're going to love it. It's wonderful.
It's going to be so huge.
It's going to be great. You'll see Trump selling it as well.
He's already got his quote-unquote freedom cities where I guess you'll be free of cars and any burden of providing for yourself because, you know, just be in a reservation system.
Sidewalk Labs is the same way.
You've seen them going around American cities, putting them on road diets where they carve off lanes on the side for bicycle lanes that nobody wants to use.
This has been around for a long time.
And it was first adopted by Paris because in Paris they have a Marxist mayor, Anne Hidalgo.
She gave priority to cyclists and to pedestrians.
And she said, and Marino, the guy who came up with this 15-minute thing, he says, imagine this as a pyramid of priorities.
He's got a pyramid scheme.
Yeah. And he's selling you a Ponzi.
He's saying, a pyramid of priorities.
He said it puts pedestrians in the first place.
That's why, again, sidewalk labs.
You're going to be walking on a sidewalk.
If they don't like you, you'll be living on the sidewalk.
That was Google's test case of this.
So pedestrians are in first place, followed by bicycles, then public transportation, then electric cars that are full of passengers, and they'll make sure that they've got to be full of passengers or you can't go anywhere.
You're going to pay tremendous amounts of money or you'll be banned from driving at all.
Then taxis, and then regular private cars will be at the end of it.
No, they're going to punish private cars.
And they're going to punish them to the extent that it would be an effective ban.
And as you see, the World Economic Forum, where this stuff is coming from, talking about carrots and sticks.
We are, broadly speaking, agreed that we need to get on track towards a net zero, climate safe and nature positive future, but we know this will not be easy.
And we're going to need to change behaviours of both individuals but also the way that our industries and corporations and also our governments work and practice.
We're going to need to do this through a mixture of carrots and hopefully perhaps not so many sticks.
Hopefully sticks. And there's a very active and live debate as to how we go about this.
But... We're likely to see an increasing move towards more stick-like interventions into the future as things worsen if we're not able to act.
Yeah, just like we saw with the pandemic MacGuffin, the COVID MacGuffin.
Lots of sticks involved with that.
Lots of beating people, coercing people.
And this little nerd is out there.
This is one of the reasons why we're keeping the Second Amendment.
You got a stick? We got a gun.
So we'll tell you what you can do with your carrot.
Jonathan Tilt is a prominent anti-lockdown campaigner from West Yorkshire in Northern England, writes NBC, and they're just appalled at what he has to say.
Like so many, his political awakening was the pandemic, which he believes is connected to a concerted global effort to control and eventually depopulate the world.
What would give him that idea?
I mean, did he read what they have to say?
Did he listen to what they're saying?
I mean, you don't have to get very deep into this.
You listen to one or two of these speeches and you get the idea.
They just want people to be completely disconnected from reality.
They want you playing games, using drugs, and that's how they're going to control the population in one way.
Because if you hear any of these people talk, You very quickly catch on to what their scheme is.
And he goes on to say, it'll be sort of a Soviet-style housing estates where you have to apply for permits to leave your house if you're deemed as being essential in one way or the other.
There we are. It was Trump.
Trump who called us essential and non-essential.
Yeah. Worse than being called deplorable.
His group... Vote Freedom supported more than 300 candidates at local council elections across England on May the 4th, all of whom campaigned against 15-minute cities.
Good. Where are the people doing that here in the United States?
Now, they have not put in 15-minute cities yet, but they're coming.
If you take a look at the congestion charges that have just begun in New York, We follow what is happening in the Europe and UK, and it will be coming here.
They've already talked about that.
Having stood for election, campaigning against vaccines, campaigning on 15-minute cities is like a gift.
This is like Christmas coming almost.
Especially because, see, they haven't been able to sufficiently scare the adults.
They got the kids scared with Greta and these other kids.
I guess they're scared.
They propagandized the kids in school for a couple of generations now.
But most of the adults are not scared at all of some climate catastrophe.
And I don't even know about the kids because they've seen so many false prophecies that have not come true.
I don't know that you can scare them about that.
I know that it was much scarier for many of my classmates.
I never believed in any of this stuff.
But like I've said before, my best friend was totally bought into all this Paul Ehrlich depopulation bomb stuff and everything.
And he really took it seriously.
And at the time...
This is the first time we've heard any of this stuff.
We've now had 50 years of lies and false prophecies to inoculate us against this stuff.
And they keep making these pronouncements that are a decade off or something like that, and they don't happen.
But now it's getting very close.
You've got a climate clock.
It's counting down six and a half years, and they're going to be escalating this to an extraordinary degree.
And so we better prepare ourselves for what they're about to do.
We'll take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about a new pharmaceutical drug Well, it's not a new drug.
It's been around for quite a while and it's been driving people to suicide for quite a while.
It's a new awareness of the fact that this asthma drug is driving people to suicide.
We're going to talk about that when we come back.
Stay with us. Welcome
www.savetwork.com
And according to Reuters, they're saying that parents who are trying to sue and stop this in state court were stymied by one of corporate America's most effective liability shields, the doctrine of federal preemption.
And that's a very important precedent.
I want to talk about, you know, the actual drug itself.
But look at the way that they use the federal government as a shield over and over again.
It's not just Fauci coming in and getting blanket immunity for vaccines.
They've got a lot of ways to spend this.
This is an asthma drug.
This is not a vaccine. It's an asthma drug from Merck, driving children to suicide, children to suicide.
The Reuters investigation said that plaintiffs faced a legal hurdle that's commonly used by Big Pharma, known as the preemption defense, based on a legal argument that federal law and federal regulations supersede state laws.
Notice they say federal regulations.
Again, the unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats and all the three-letter agencies that are under the executive branch, they write rules and regulations and And now they say that this takes precedent over state laws.
What about the Tenth Amendment that says that states have all these powers reserved to them unless expressly given to the federal government?
Where in the Constitution was anything about food or drugs given to the federal government expressly?
Nowhere. So they say that federal regulations supersede state laws, including state product liability laws that traditionally serve as the basis of lawsuits like these against Merck.
As a result, companies are increasingly arguing that federally regulated products or services should be immune from lawsuits alleging state law violations, and plaintiffs must often demonstrate fraud.
That a company failed to disclose safety information to federal regulators.
This is one of the things that they did with, if you remember, you had Monsanto at the time.
It was creating a glyphosate roundup and giving that also decambra.
And decambra drift was a big issue with farmers.
Many of them, even if they weren't organic farmers, it was drifting on and poisoning their land so that they could not grow anything except for Monsanto seeds that were genetically engineered to be able to withstand the poisoning of the glyphosate.
And so it was in rural area after rural area, they put measures on there to ban it.
Because again, it wasn't just staying on that one farmer's land.
It was traveling and poisoning all the land around there.
I remember one of these jurisdictions, you had Monsanto spend $8 million in advertising campaigns to try to shut down this referendum.
And it didn't work because the farmers knew what was happening and you weren't going to be able to pull the wool over their eyes with an $8 million advertising campaign.
So since they were losing in all these different jurisdictions, what they did was they went to Washington and they said, we don't want to have this patchwork quilt of regulations.
They didn't want people to be able to attack it at a local level.
So we got to do this from Washington.
And what they did was they created what we all called the Dark Act, which was to basically shut down anybody being able to do anything about GMO at the federal level.
That's always their approach.
It's very easy as we centralize, control the government.
It's one of the reasons why everybody gives so much money to these politicians.
They can go to the politicians that they bought and they can get anything through and protect them from the state level.
They've turned the Constitution inside out and upside down.
But let's talk about what this drug is and what it actually does to people.
Before we do that, I want to thank a couple people who have left tips.
On Rockfin, Ricky Branch, thank you very much.
He says, thanks for all you do, David.
Well, thank you, Ricky. I appreciate that.
And also on Rockfin, Bill Maher.
Thank you for the tip.
He said, I feel zero sympathy for him, for the old controlled opposition, Nigel.
Nigel and all of the EU made their bed.
Now they can sleep in it.
And that goes for all of Europe.
Yes, I judge. Love you.
We are about five minutes behind Europe.
And then you've got California that's about five minutes behind you, and then the rest of the country.
This is terror en route, but most of our invaders are Christians.
Thank God. Well, you know, the thing is that, yeah, I agree.
I didn't know what was happening with Nigel.
I didn't know what was happening to Tommy Robinson and so forth, but...
I've said this over and over again.
You look at the American politicians, you look at Trump, you know, when we were being censored in 2018, he did nothing.
He did nothing. And said, you know, they're going to come for you.
And they didn't wait until he was out of the White House, until they kicked him off of Twitter at the time.
And look at how this has all been weaponized, all this speech stuff and all, you know, the rest of this.
Yeah, there's a lot of issues there.
We don't have too many politicians who will stand on principle.
And at least, you know, when this stuff starts to happen, and it has happened besides happening to Nigel Farage, it has also happened to, what's the guy's name?
Toby with the Daily Skeptic.
I can't think of his last name.
But anyway, you know, they came after him at PayPal.
They got that pullback now.
Banks are giving him a hard time.
Also came after Lawrence Fox, who I think has been pretty solid since the pandemic stuff in terms of putting out against this.
But look, we need to, even if these guys were not there at the very beginning, we need to push back against this.
And I'm glad that they're speaking out because people need to understand that even if these people were cooperating with them further on, it is another indication of what's coming.
And if we don't stand up and push back against this collectively for individual liberty, they're going to be coming for all of us.
It should have been done a long time ago.
But now is the time to stand up and speak out about this.
But let's get back to this drug.
Dozens of patients, including many children.
This is coming from The Defender.
This is RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense Fund.
Dozens of patients, including many children, died by suicide or suffered from neuropsychiatric problems after taking Singular.
And I think that's the way it's pronounced, like L-A-I-R. Like the lair of criminals.
Yeah, singular. Merck's allergy and asthma medication.
So you've got a kid that's got some asthma, and you take them to the doctor, and the doctor, you know, has been getting a lot of advertising material from Merck, you know, like they did with all these drugs.
It's like, oh yes, this is the best thing we can use, and they give that to your kid, and they commit suicide.
So, after decades of delays and legal challenges, it is moving forward, reports Reuters.
Merck is accused of downplaying early evidence of Singulair's impact on the brain.
These claims later faced intense scrutiny, leading to a raft of lawsuits alleging that Merck knew that the drug could impact the brain, that it minimized the potential for psychiatric problems and statements to regulators.
By the way, this is...
As I said, you know, the 13-minute back and forth where RFK Jr.
went on that leftist News Nation or something like that, and they had a town hall meeting because, you know, CNN won't even allow him to speak.
CNN's a little bit smarter.
You know, they know that it's too dangerous to let him speak about vaccines.
But these other people, I think it's, again, I think it's News Nation, if I remember correctly.
They need the attention.
So they went for it.
And she was about as biased as I've ever seen anybody, and stubbornly biased.
And she was on the attack the entire time.
He did a masterful job of it.
And they had a doctor in the audience.
Is there a doctor in the house? Yes, we happen to have Dr.
Butt. And so he was trying to rebuttal RFK Jr.
And, you know, all vaccines, look at how many diseases that they've quote-unquote cured.
We don't have them anymore. And RFK Jr.
said, okay, will you take a study?
I remember one area where they did a test of the chickenpox thing, and yeah, you didn't get kids.
We're not getting chickenpox, but you know what?
They were getting shingles, which was far worse.
Here you've got a situation where this is why it's important to look at the adverse effects.
You never know what these things are going to cause, especially if you don't test them, right?
And so, as RFK Jr.
was pointing out, they've done no testing of any vaccines.
Why would you bother to do that when you've got liability protection from Fauci?
That's a waste of money, right?
And it's all about money, isn't it?
But, you know, he said, so you wind up stopping shingles, but now you've got all these, stopping chickenpox, but now you've got shingles.
And so these people, you go there and you've got asthma, and the kids take this drug, passes through the blood-brain barrier, and causes them all kinds of neuropsychiatric problems and suicide.
Public comments, along with thousands of reports submitted over several years to the FDA's Adverse Events Reporting System.
This, by the way, is different.
This is a FAERS system.
So instead of it being a vaccine adverse event reporting system, it's the FDA adverse event reporting system.
And guess what? They don't care any more about the adverse effects reported on that system than they do about the one on VAERS. Plus a 2015 research study finding that a substantial amount of singular entered the brain All this finally forced the FDA to take action.
On March 4, 2020, they required Singulair to carry a black box label, the FDA's most serious warning for serious mental health side effects, according to Drug Watch.
Black box warnings list important side effect information surrounded by a thick black border and bold lettering to warn of permanent, serious, or fatal Side effects.
In the case of Singulair, the label lists the links of the drug to suicide, depression, aggression, agitation, suicidal thoughts, and sleep disturbances.
It sounds exactly like the SSRIs.
Isn't that interesting?
Because the SSRIs did all that.
As a matter of fact, they would give it to people.
Who were having difficulty sleeping.
Now, that's how Kim Witshaft, how her husband was, Witsack, sorry, Kim Witsack.
That's how, and I interviewed her sometime last month or two.
And she became an activist and she got the black box warning finally for the SSRIs.
But her husband was having trouble sleeping.
And, you know, he took the drug and she found him on the floor in a fetal position.
And he said it was like his brain was on fire.
And she had a business trip, you know, not too long after that.
And while she was gone, he hung himself.
And so she became an activist for these black box things.
But again, it's suicide, depression, aggression, agitation, suicidal thoughts.
These are all things that happen.
With the SSRIs.
And here it is with an asthma medicine that is prescribed frequently for children.
The black box label was at least two decades in coming.
According to Hazlehurst, who said it took over a decade's worth of work By persistent parents armed with overwhelming evidence of the serious neuropsychiatric side effects in order to get the FDA to take any action.
Kim Witsack, that I interviewed and who worked so much on the SSRI stuff, just recently gave testimony to the Senate.
She was called in by Ron Johnson.
And she compares what has been done with SSRIs and the FDA not doing its job of warning people and advising them of this stuff.
She compares it to what happened with the vaccines.
Here's what she had to say. Great.
Thank you. First of all, thank you so much, Senator Johnson, for hosting this panel today.
I also wish to acknowledge the panelists, especially those who bravely told their stories of great personal harm and tragedy as a direct result of these vaccines.
It takes courage, commitment, and a deep desire to show up and speak your truth, especially when forces...
Many forces don't want the world to see this part of the story.
You may be wondering why I care so deeply about this issue.
Unfortunately, I know only too well the high price of a failed drug safety system.
My journey started 18 years ago.
I like to call myself the accidental advocate.
I never set out to do this advocacy work.
On August 6, 2003, my life forever changed.
My husband of almost 10 years was found hanging from the rafters of our garage, dead at age 37.
He wasn't depressed, nor did he have a history of depression or any other mental illness.
He had just started his dream job with a startup company and was having difficulty sleeping, which is not uncommon for entrepreneurs.
So he went to his doctor and was given the antidepressant Zoloft off-label for insomnia.
Five weeks later, Woody took his own life.
At the time, there were no black box warning, suicide warnings on antidepressants.
So it became my mission to educate and help change the label.
Almost immediately, my brother-in-law and I started coming out here to DC, meeting with the FDA, Congress, and even helped with the Energy and Commerce subcommittee investigations that ultimately led to congressional hearings.
Eventually we did get black box suicide warnings added in 2004 for kids and 2006 for young adults.
To think this was 13 years after the FDA first held hearings on antidepressants and suicide in 1991.
How many lives were destroyed and families torn apart before the FDA finally warned about the link between suicide and SSRIs.
When the state and federal governments began to push this mass vaccination program, I followed the situation with great interest.
Trumpeted as safe and effective, the vaccines were positioned as the only way out of this pandemic.
If you dared to question the science, the safety, or public narrative, you were censored or labeled as spreading misinformation or called an anti-vaxxer.
It is mind-boggling to me when you put a product out in the world, especially one that's been rushed through testing and review, and used by billions around the world, that the FDA and other regulatory agencies wouldn't establish a robust, proactive safety monitoring program as part of the rollout.
It's frightening to think that the FDA may not have an army of clinicians reading through the hundreds of thousands of reports into VAERS, or even responding to all of you that took your time to reach out to them.
As a member of another FDA advisory committee, I can tell you that almost every new drug that we are reviewing in the recent years has come to us using a fast-tracking mechanism, much like the EUA track of the vaccines.
The FDA priority is to approve drugs and get them on the market quickly with limited trial data.
Safety is usually considered after the fact.
During PDUFA negotiations, I have long advocated for an independent safety review and monitoring board.
The people who approve the drugs and vaccines should not be the same people who are responsible for monitoring safety.
The FAA does not investigate plane crashes.
The NTSB does.
The world of drugs and vaccines needs an NTSB. Finally, I want to briefly touch on mandates that are affecting all of our lives.
This is not a red or blue issue.
This is a human rights issue.
Where there is risk, there must also be choice.
Yeah, and real choice, not coercion.
I say, well, I'm not going to drag you out and stick this in your arm.
No, but isn't that interesting?
The fact that she says, as part of being on that FDA panel as a consumer, and when I interviewed her, she said, yeah, we've got these drugs coming through, and I'm always the only one who does not vote to approve it because it hasn't been tested.
And she said that again.
She said all of these drugs that we're seeing coming through are fast-tracked.
It's not just the warp speed vaccines.
That was... You know, I guess maybe there's a difference between fast track and warp speed, right?
Just absolutely no testing whatsoever.
But that's happening to all of them.
And she says, you know, the FDA is not looking at safety.
So maybe, you know, just like the FAA regulates some of the things about airplanes and air traffic, maybe we need to have a National Transportation Safety Board.
Maybe since the government is not doing...
And that's one thing I disagree with her.
You know, since the government is not doing its job, let's create another agency.
Let's add more people.
Look, the FDA has been tasked with this.
They run the VAERS system and the FAERS system, and they could not care less.
And it's going to be the same way with any bureaucracy that you create.
I think the problem is centralization and the corruption that comes with it and the fact that there is no accountability to any of these people.
They're not elected. They're not accountable.
That's the fundamental issue with all of that.
I'm glad she's drawing attention to it.
She's done a lot to draw attention to what is happening with pharmaceutical stuff, but we've got to get this out of Washington.
This federal preemption is the same thing they used to shut down this asthma drug that was driving kids to suicide.
Washington is a cancer.
The federal government is a cancer.
It is hopelessly corrupt.
And it's got to be excised.
It's got to be cut off. Better than cancer.
Point out it's like gangrene.
You know, you've got to amputate before it spreads everywhere else.
And it is spreading everywhere else.
And they do it with the money.
That's how this spreads, is with the money.
And so we do want to have a patchwork quilt of regulations.
And we want to have decentralization so you have these big companies can't go one place and buy a couple of politicians or a couple of bureaucrats and have their way to do whatever criminal activity they want to do.
We're going to take a quick break and we're going to be right back and we're going to talk about what is coming up in entertainment.
Because entertainment...
It's not simply, you know, a diversion.
It may be for you, but for them it's very serious business in terms of manipulating your mind and manipulating the society and the culture.
We'll be right back. Using free speech to free minds.
It's the David Knight Show.
I saw this yesterday.
Netflix is going to be doing Narnia.
They're going to do all the Narnia books.
And there's quite a few of them that were done by C.S. Lewis.
There's only like a couple of movies that were done.
How long ago was that, Travis?
Was that about 10 years, 15 years ago?
I guess. You guys are still pretty young.
It might have been 15 or more years.
Yeah, I think it was at least 15 years the first one was released.
Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, now we're going to have Netflix do it.
And I told Karen when I saw it, I said, oh, this is going to be bad.
Can you imagine what they're going to do?
And then later in the day, I saw the director that they'd picked to do it.
Same director they have for the Barbie movie.
I told Travis, he was really depressed about that.
He liked Narnia.
That was a gut punch. I know, I know.
Yeah, those are a couple of ones that we used to do quite often with the kids, you know, when they were young.
I regularly, I don't have much time to read, but I re-listen to the Chronicles of Narnia audiobooks almost once a year.
Yeah, yeah. Really well done, you know, and now they're going to just drive them into the LGBT realm.
They're going to add LGBT to it, I guess, because Greta Gerwig...
Uh, who's about to have her Barbie movie, uh, premiere is the one that they have, um, uh, decided that they're going to have direct this for Netflix.
In 2018, Netflix announced that it had acquired the film and the TV rights to the Chronicles of Narnia book series, because that's what they're looking for.
They're looking for something that they can make into a series.
And, um, families have fallen in love with characters like Aslan and the entire world of Narnia.
So we're going to change it all for them.
We're going to use that as an opportunity to grab these kids' minds.
That's one of the reasons why I talked to the CEO of Brave Books last week, I think.
And, you know, it's important.
He's trying to create a series of good books that people are going to be able to use.
And, of course, the C.S. Lewis books are there.
If anybody wants to read books, you don't have to have the books corrupted by the movies.
But, you know, it tends to be the easy way out is just have people watch the movie.
Since the 2018 acquisition, Netflix has yet to announce any projects based on it, but then they did it yesterday.
And this director, as we're looking at it, its conservative sites as well as LGBT sites are talking about how pro-LGBT and feminist Barbie is going to be when it comes out.
A gender-confused man portraying a female doctor.
Sounds like the Biden administration.
It's not the Barbie movie, it's the Biden movie.
Yeah, it is the Biden administration.
In the name of gender equality are some of the concerns raised by conservatives ahead of the July 21st released date.
And they said the actor, who goes by the name of Neff as a tranny, reportedly wrote to the director and requested certain scheduling changes to enable him to be able to take the role.
In his previous post, he shared pieces of the letter that he had back and forth with this director who's going to be doing Narnia.
He said, identity politics and sentiment aren't my favorite combination, but Barbie is the standard.
She's the girl.
She is certainly the doll.
He said that he and his other transgender girlfriends refer to themselves as the dolls.
He said, underneath the word doll is the shape of a woman who's not quite a woman.
Recognizable as such, but still a fake.
So doll is fraught, glamorous.
She is and she isn't.
Oh, the Schrodinger gender, I guess.
Both male and female at the same time.
We call ourselves the dolls in the face of everything we know we are, never will be, and hope to be.
We yell the word because the word matters and no doll matters more than Barbie.
Well, with that letter to this director who's going to be doing the Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix, Oh, he's in.
Let's rearrange the schedule so we can get this guy in.
He gets it. He understands the doll world.
Director Greta Gerwig told the LGBT magazine Out that, quote, we are opening the doors to the Barbie universe with this movie.
That's going to be a franchise as well.
There you go. She's got a couple of franchises she's going to be working on.
She'll probably run these things.
Everybody say, oh, advanced ticket sales are great.
I think this thing is going to crash and burn.
We don't need conservative sites or LGBT sites to tell us just how over-the-top LGBT this is.
Look at the still picture and tell that.
There's no way we could have told this story without bringing in the LGBT community, said the director, and it's important for us to represent that diversity that Mattel has created.
On top of the LGBT themes, the Barbie movie is also inundated with feminist narratives.
Ben Shapiro said, we need another movie saying men are unnecessary in society because that's worked out amazingly well for feminism over the past 50 years.
And women, by every metric, are much unhappier than they were in the 1970s.
Well, certainly that is true.
I can agree with Ben Shapiro on that.
First thing I've seen for a while, but I agree with him a lot.
Greta Gerwig's Barbie...
Looks gloriously gay, says LGBT Nation.
It's not just the conservatives.
Everybody understands this. It's gloriously gay.
And she'll be directing Narnia.
This is where these people insert themselves into the culture.
But again, we don't have to go along with that.
The new Indiana Jones movie, an amazing flop introduced over the weekend.
Thursday night earnings were expected to fall between $6 million and $7.5 million once the numbers were.
And the three-day haul isn't expected to go over $65 million.
And that is, even though it's on 4,500, probably they say theaters, but it's probably 4,500 screens.
That's usually what they measure this with.
Dial of Destiny also didn't come cheap for Disney.
The production cost alone is believed to be about $300 million, according to The Wrap, and usually they spend as much money on advertising.
So let's say it's got a $600 million budget, and it's going to make about 10% of that.
It's going to lose 90% of the money that they lost on it.
Oh, no. Say it ain't so.
Disney strikes again.
And, of course, there's a lot of talk that it has now caused...
Kathleen franchise killer Kennedy to get shown the door, but we'll have to wait and see about that.
There's been rumors about her being ousted for a long time.
Every time something flops, like, this has got to be the last one.
She's got to be out. And she keeps clawing her way back into the studio somehow.
She's doing exactly what they want.
You know, that's what Disney wants.
It is a weaponized, it is a culture weapon.
And that's what Disney has become.
Studio suck-ups in the media will blame bad reviews, but Super Mario Bros.
got even worse reviews, and it opened up to $146 million.
Nolte at Breitbart says, here's what really happened, and this is the interesting story.
He said, nobody wanted to see an Indiana Jones movie made by the same talentless fetishes and woke-obsessed freaks who destroyed Star Wars and Willow.
He is Indiana Jones and one of our favorite heroes, but we all saw what Disney and Kathleen Kennedy did to all the other heroes that we love.
Lando Calrissian was turned into a pansexual.
Was he? I haven't seen this stuff for a long time.
I refuse to watch any new Star Wars movies.
The last one I went to see made me so mad.
I didn't even pay for it. I was like, I'll go fight for our money back.
Yeah, well, you know, Nolte goes, I guess, to review them.
I don't know. Han Solo was turned into a guy who couldn't fly his own Millennial Falcon, as well as being replaced by a Mary Sue named Rey.
Luke Skywalker was turned into a child killer.
Whoa. And a selfish curmudgeon.
And Willow was all about gay sex and transvestites.
Really? Wow. Everybody knows Disney's game plan.
Disney is using identity politics to systematically destroy our heroes.
Well, not heroes to us, but to manipulate children and to manipulate our culture.
But here's the other side of the story.
Here's the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say.
The rest of the story is what happened with Sound of Freedom.
As Indiana Jones No.
5 was crashing and burning...
Sound of Freedom, which was done by Angel Studios.
These are people who've had several movies come out recently.
Of course, they did the Chosen series.
Sound of Freedom was also one of theirs.
And if you look at what happened in the box office, it truly is an astounding success story.
$11.6 million and made more than Disney did in the first day.
And this was with half the screens nationwide that Indiana Jones had.
It had more than 2,000 more screens.
It had over 4,000.
And so it had less than half of what Indiana Jones did.
And it sold $14.2 million worth of tickets on Tuesday, which makes it even bigger.
But those ticket sales do not count towards box office figures.
So if you put those together, it would have been over 25 million.
But they didn't count all that because the extra ticket sales were part of the Pay It Forward program where people that like the movie would purchase a ticket for somebody else.
As he points out, this is pretty smart marketing.
And one day, The Sound of Freedom grossed more than the full domestic runs of several Oscar Award contenders, like The Banshees, Avinash Sheeran, Tar, and Women Talking.
It's grossed nearly double that of the current independent hit, Past Lives.
And it's got Jim Caviezel, Oscar winner Mira Servino.
Jim Caviezel plays Tim Ballard, a real-life U.S. government agent who quit his job at Homeland Security to rescue children from drug cartels and sex traffickers in Latin America.
But this is the rest of the story that is really interesting.
As Disney is flopping with all of its LGBT-pushing franchises and the way it's manipulating everything, Sound of Freedom was produced in 2018, five years ago.
It was going to be distributed by 20th Century Fox, but then Disney bought Fox in 2019, and it put the movie on the shelf and refused, refused to put this out.
Now, why would they do that? Again, you've got bankable stars, you've got Jim Caviezel, you've got Oscar award-winning Mira Sorvino, and they put it on the shelf.
Why would they do that?
It took the producers years to buy back the distribution rights from Disney.
They didn't even want to sell the distribution rights back to them.
Five years of negotiating.
Angel Studios The company behind Chosen and Sound of Freedom now owns what will most certainly be the most profitable independent movie of the year.
A movie that in a single day outgrossed the total gross of three of last year's Oscar contenders.
So why would Disney dump a movie that only had a $15 million production budget and again had stars that people know?
And John Nolte said, easy answer.
Under CEO Bob Iger, Disney became demonic, and today's very different and morally corrupted Disney wants nothing to do with anything that's remotely Christian.
Secondly, the same Disney that is now so aggressively defending child groomers and engaging in grooming and sexualizing little kids...
Likely wanted nothing to do with a movie that condemns child sex trafficking.
Oh yeah, that would be uncomfortable, wouldn't it?
You know, when you've got this grooming corporation and they're pushing to have all of these vulgar striptease men dressed up like women doing striptease in front of women, you want to push that?
Well, you don't want to talk about child sex trafficking then, do you?
Finally, look back at the political climate in 2019.
Bob Iger has made no secret of his desire to run for President of the United States as a Democrat, and he would not want to be associated with what was happening in that.
That's the reality of what is happening with this.
This is why I say, if you look at, yeah, it's entertainment, and yeah, it's movies, and you don't even have to bother with any of that stuff, but understand that even if you don't, It's going to be affecting society.
It's going to be affecting your kids or your grandkids.
It's going to be changing society and not for the better.
In the same way that we talk about the school system.
Get your kids out of the school system.
But then you've got to work.
The building is on fire.
Get your kids out of there.
But now you've got to make sure that that burning building does not burn down the rest of the neighborhood.
And Disney is a burning building that is doing its best to burn down our society.
That's the real purpose of this as we look at it.
And that's one of the reasons why it's important to talk about this.
A little bit of time that we got left, we understand where these people are going.
You know, we have the Republican governor here in Tennessee is trying to kowtow to the celebrities and entertainers in Nashville.
Because they're wealthy, because the entertainment business, they're leaning left.
And the aftermath of this tranny mass murder, he's trying to throw them some bones.
Something that he can do to come after legal gun owners to pretend that he's going to do something.
And the legislature didn't want to do anything.
So he's going to call them back in August.
And a lot of people have talked about how that is going to be a very risky thing because the other state legislatures are shut down.
There's already been a call out for radical leftists to come to Nashville to harass the legislators that are called back.
And a conservative paper, the Tennessee Star...
Hello, everybody.
Hello, everybody. Well, that's kind of hard to hear and we're out of time, but what she's saying is the ultimate goal, of course, is full communism.
That's where we really want to go.
We've had these types of confessions in the past.
I remember when we were covering...
A gun control rally in Austin.
And there was one protester there, and the mayor pro tem pointed at him and he said, we're not coming to ban the guns like your poster says, but you hang on because eventually we will.
That's not what we're doing right now.
Well, the ultimate goal is full communism.
That's why I talk about it as being Sodom and go Marxists.
They go together. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
