Time Text
Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 14th of July, year of our Lord, 2023.
Well, today we're going to begin with some comments from Jonathan Turley about what we saw with the FBI. And he continually asks, so what is Congress going to do about it?
Well, I've got the answer for you.
And we're going to talk about why I still believe that the answer is something they're not going to even go close to.
And that is to get rid of this failed institution.
We also have an update that was sent to me by some listeners about the Bureau of Land Management, that BLM, and the Bundy Ranch standoff, the person in charge of that.
And in this, one of the key things that you see is a very wicked, evil, corrupt BLM agent who gets promoted and the guy who blew the whistle on all this and was rational leaves or is pushed out.
Typical pattern. This is how the institutions and how the country died.
We'll be right back. Well, Jonathan Turley has written op-ed pieces.
He's been on Fox News programs talking about what he saw with the shameful behavior, the shameful obvious lies of the FBI director.
Again, if Congress doesn't have the guts to get rid of this institution, at least change the order of the initials.
Call it FIB. Because all they do is lie.
So he says, it's my ray or the hard ray.
W-R-A-Y, of course, Christopher Ray.
So, you know, as we look at all this, is it possible for us to survive without the FBI? Do they perform a vital function?
It's what they do, even constitutional.
All these things are questions that we should ask.
Some people believe that we need them.
As I said, it was laughable to me.
The case that Ray needed to, tried to make, for how essential the FBI was.
You know, without the FBI, who would be coming after and labeling parents speaking at a school board meeting as extreme terrorists without them?
You know, they're the arms and legs of the so-called Department of Justice.
But let's go back to Judge Learned Hand, who...
It talks about the spirit of liberty.
He said, liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.
And when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.
And let's add to that, no bureaucratic institution.
It wasn't even a big thing in his day.
That is the government right now.
The bureaucracies.
So, if liberty lies in the hearts of men...
You have it. But if it dies there, no law, no court can save it.
No constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it.
The spirit of liberty, he said, is a spirit which is not too sure that it is right.
The spirit of liberty is a spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women.
The spirit of liberty is a spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
Do we have the spirit of liberty now?
We have the government censoring people.
We have the FBI censoring people and the public square, the digital public square.
When we have the FBI using FISA, which was supposed to be there so the FBI and the CIA and the NSA could protect us from foreign terrorists and foreign spies.
They're using demands from foreign spies in Ukraine to censor American people.
They've subverted not only the Constitution, but they've subverted the FISA Act itself.
And as I pointed out, the FBI has been corrupt from day one.
From day one.
There's absolutely no way that anything that they do is essential.
Nothing! Every state has got a State Bureau of Investigations.
You don't think they can go out and buy the same equipment?
The equipment that the FBI has is not a big deal.
Being detectives is not something that has to be done at a federal level.
Law enforcement has always been done at the local level.
He says, Jonathan Turley says, you know, you can boil down the tactics that were used by Christopher Wray.
Boil down to basically three areas.
He calls it testimonial trilogy.
Well, you can express, number one, a lack of knowledge, or number two, well, we have an ongoing investigation, or number three, I'll answer this later in private briefings.
That's it. You know, when we look at institutional rot, which is where we are right now in this fourth turning, this is why you have a fourth turning every 70 to 80 years in a society.
Because like it or not, institutions have a lifespan.
And the corruption gradually builds up, just like, you know, just as we age.
Because of DNA errors and things that accumulate, or because of cancer, things like that gradually accumulate and increase.
And so corruption is a cancer to these institutions.
And it gradually accumulates.
They get fat, they die from heart disease, all the rest of this stuff.
These are institutions that do this.
And you can see it on the school boards too, can't you?
And do you understand, as I've said before, the school boards, you can go talk to them and lecture them all you want.
But if liberty and education doesn't live in the hearts of the school boards, all your lectures are for nothing.
If the school board doesn't want to do it, they'll do what they want to do.
The principals will do what they want to do.
The teachers in the classrooms will do what they want to do.
This is not my theory.
They have bragged about this on social media over and over again.
You cannot get these people to follow the rules that they don't agree with.
And so, for schools, we can get out of this system.
How do I get away from the FBI? It has to be eradicated.
So many of these federal agencies must be eradicated.
Give them the death penalty.
Defund them.
Don't replace them with something that is relabeled.
Get rid of them.
Just as we need to get rid of these corrupt schools.
They've now become, you know, these institutions have essentially died for all intents and purposes.
And they're like walking dead.
They're like zombies that are out there.
And they have bad intentions as well.
Feeding on us.
Jonathan Turley says, Ray did, however, hold forth in great detail after Eric Swalwell asked him about FBI Family Day.
Isn't that nice? Got lots to say about that.
Many cheerful facts about that and square the hypotenuse, right?
Yeah, the major general of the FBI. Despite the near total lack of substance, Ray did make one surprising denial, says Jonathan Turley.
He insisted that the FBI does not engage in censorship efforts, focuses on foreign disinformation, and does not pressure companies to censor others.
Those denials are not only directly contradicted by the recent 155-page opinion of a federal court and also by the Twitter files, but also by a new release from the Twitter files and journalist Matt Taibbi that I talked about yesterday.
And in that, we find that when Ray says the FBI is not in the business of moderating content or causing any social media company to suppress or censor, that is a bull-faced lie.
Or maybe, in his honor, we should call it a bull-faced fib from the director of FIB. The statement is obviously false, says Turley.
But nothing is going to happen to him, right?
We have, just a couple of months ago, passed the 10-year anniversary Of James Clapper lying when a senator, Ron Wyden, said, are you spying on Americans?
Well, not intentionally, I guess.
That was even a better answer.
You know, we know they did it.
We know they did it intentionally.
Michael Hayden says, I blame Wyden for saying that.
They all knew. You know, why didn't he go along and lie with us?
Like everybody else on that issue.
So, and again, I don't agree with Ron Wyden on anything else that he does.
I don't agree with him on any policies, but good for him for exposing that.
I'm sure that didn't help his career with the establishment.
Tybee, however, has released another example of how aggressive the FBI was with social media companies, says Jonathan Turley.
Not only do we know...
That they were censoring people.
But they demanded it, and I read this to you yesterday, so I won't go through it again.
But he says, you know, in just one shot, you can see that the FBI immediately takes people down.
When that didn't happen, the FBI contacted him, why didn't you take this person down like we told you to do?
You can see what the relationship is there.
And now, and Jonathan Turley doesn't even talk about this, I guess he'll do another one about this when he sees it.
The fact that the Ukrainian spy agency...
Which would just be an extension of the CIA, you know, if you will.
Is telling, you know, giving the FBI lists of people to get rid of.
You know, what was it? It's like a manager at a hardware store or something like that.
You know, get him off of Twitter.
Look at what he said about Ukraine.
That type of thing. And the FBI would pass that along to Twitter and expect that Twitter is going to immediately comply and do everything that they say.
You see, FISA was to protect us, as I said, from foreign spies, right?
It's all a lie. They've turned it all upside down, inside out.
They've changed its purpose 180 degrees.
The weapons of defense abroad will be used as instruments of tyranny at home, said James Madison.
He would not be surprised at all.
To see these weapons of defense against foreign actors, the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, to become instruments of tyranny at home.
That is exactly what they are.
Why are we still funding them?
That's the key. So Turley goes on, that was his op-ed piece.
He also says, he called Ray's testimony, he said it was, quote, a false appearance of contrition.
He only apologized for violations that have already been found by courts in Congress, by the way, against the best efforts of the FBI to conceal them.
So if he's caught with his hand, caught guilty, then he'll apologize a little bit.
Well, mistakes were made, but you know, you can't do anything about it because I'm the FBI or the FIB. So for things that are already established, he went ahead and said, well, we will never do that again.
But in terms, the violations that have already laid out in terms of censorship, FISA violations of the secret court, those were already laid out in the public record, said Turley.
He just refused to comment.
Sometimes he said that he didn't have any recollection.
It was a maddening experience, said Turley, to watch this guy stand there, or sit there, and lie.
I mean, the thing is, he said, Congress has to make a decision here, you know?
They just went through an entire hearing where they were given nothing.
He only got detailed when Eric Swalwell asked him about FBI Family Day.
So the question is, says Turley, what is Congress going to do about it?
They have a very serious censorship scandal.
You've got a 155 page opinion from this court.
And you have the Twitter files.
There's ample evidence to show that what the director said yesterday does not comport with the truth.
So the question is, what is Congress going to do about it?
I know the answer. We all know the answer.
Nothing. Well, they will do something.
They will have more show hearings.
They will do more virtue signaling.
They'll do more grandstanding.
And then they'll do nothing.
And this is one of the things that is escalating the division in our country.
It's not just Trump.
Trump's kind of a lightning rod for this.
But the fact that these people focus on problems and then don't do anything gives everybody this frustration, this sense of helplessness.
Look, as much as is possible with you, cut off the federal government out of your life.
There's a lot of places where we can't.
But try to get independent of the system that they're building.
Try to get independent of the control grid that they're establishing and many different ways that they're doing that.
As a matter of fact, we've got an update on CBDC as well today, speaking of control grid.
But before I leave the FBI and this law enforcement stuff, I had a couple of listeners, Lance and Ty, who sent this to me, a follow-up on the Bundy Ranch thing.
This has been nine years now.
And there's been some new documents that have been released.
And the sad thing about it is that when I saw this and saw the update, I saw that the good guy in all this, who was Dan Love.
Dan Love was the BLM, Bureau of Land Management, that BLM. That's nine years ago when BLM meant the Bureau of Land Management instead of Black Lives Matter.
But that BLM guy, Dan Love, that was his jurisdiction.
And he was pushing things toward a Waco, toward a Ruby Ridge or something like that.
It's one of the reasons why he went there.
And there was his equivalent in Arizona, Larry Wooten.
Blew the whistle on it. And I remember when he released this stuff in 2017, it was a big deal.
He gave it to Representative Matt Shea to expose this.
It got people acquitted because, of course, in this crooked justice system that we have, exculpatory evidence was denied.
They were not allowed to talk about very trivial things.
As a matter of fact, they tried to weaponize this one picture of a guy laying down in the overpass above us, and he was pointing a rifle through gaps in the concrete barriers on the side.
And they said, who's he pointing the rifle at?
Well, he's got the rifle pointed down there to the BLM agents who showed up in full battle gear and armor and all that that were pointing weapons at us and threatening us.
Go back or we're going to shoot you.
People were down in the wash area.
But they weren't allowed to answer that.
The defense lawyer said, who's he pointing that weapon at and why?
Wasn't allowed to say that.
Wasn't allowed to point out that in that picture right next to him, There is a woman who is crouching down on concrete barriers.
She's just hiding from somebody out there who was pointing a weapon at him.
So that was not allowed.
They were not allowed to talk about any of the actions of the BLM. They were not allowed to talk about, and this is what they do.
They rule out any exculpatory evidence.
It's such a kangaroo court, and it's not just for January the 6th, folks.
This has been going on for a long time.
This is one of the reasons why it really made me angry, to see what Darren Beattie and Tucker Carlson and Alex and all these other people, Steve Bannon, were doing with the Ray Epps thing.
I'll talk about that in a minute, too.
There's been an update with that.
Don't we have a crooked enough system?
Aren't they coming after more people than are warranted and giving them bigger sentences than are warranted already?
Do we have to cheer that on?
Seriously? So, they were prevented from talking about that.
But in 2017, again, the trials are still going.
First group of people have already been convicted.
I'd go back and do a follow-up and see if they ever...
Got their convictions overturned.
But basically, it caused the judge to dismiss this all with prejudice, saying, you can't come back and do this again.
Usually, if there's a hung jury or something like that, they can come back three times at you.
This judge dismissed it and did it with prejudice, saying, this is so rigged, you're not going to come back and do this again.
And so, that was based on what Larry Wooten had released in 2017.
He sent an 18-page whistleblower document to Washington State Representative Matt Shea, and then the mainstream media later on focused on Matt Shea and drove him out of politics, I believe.
I don't think he's entered anymore. He quit at one point in time.
I don't know if he's gotten back in or not.
I haven't talked to him in a long time.
Quote, a widespread pattern of bad judgment, lack of discipline, incredible bias, unprofessionalism, and misconduct.
As well as likely policy, ethical, legal violations among senior and supervisory staff at the BLM's Office of Law Enforcement and Security.
And in that, I'm paraphrasing now, I'm not reading from the document here, but I remember what Larry Wooten was essentially pointing out in terms of the conduct of Dan Love.
He said, this is absolutely insane.
I mean, this guy wanted a conflict, and he was doing everything he could to militarize it, to escalate it, and all the rest of this stuff.
This document directly led to the dismissal of the case against Cliven and Ammon Bundy, and several people involved with the 2014 quote-unquote standoff, because BLM and FBI agents, quote, shredded documents at dispatch, unquote.
Withheld, quote, texts and emails that made officers look unprofessional, unquote, and omitted evidence during the trial that proved the innocence of the Bundy family and their supporters, you see.
Typical pattern. Wooten accused Dan Love, the former special agent in charge of the cattle roundup for the BLM, accused him of intentionally ignoring direction from the U.S. Attorney's Office and his superiors in order to command the most intrusive, oppressive, large-scale, and militaristic trespass cattle impound possible.
Wooten said he learned from other agency supervisors that Love had a kill book as a trophy.
In which he essentially bragged about getting three individuals in Utah to commit suicide.
Huh. This came after a joint FBI-BLM investigation.
Wow. But guess what?
You know, this guy who also referred to the Bundys as retards, rednecks, tractor face, idiots, inbred, etc.
No, they're not.
He sent photographs of his own feces and his girlfriend's private parts to co-workers and subordinates.
That Dan Love.
Well, Dan Love has now been promoted.
By our corrupt government.
And Larry Wooten, who was his peer in another jurisdiction and blew the whistle on all this stuff, is now former.
Former. That's what happens.
We saw this happening throughout the lockdown.
You would have people, law enforcement agents, who would say, you know, police officers, sheriffs, deputies in many jurisdictions.
We do social media things and say, I took an oath to the Constitution.
I'm not going to arrest or attack people for not wearing a mask.
Boom, they're gone. This is what happens.
The corrupt organization vomits out anything that is going to push back and show the darkness.
Now, thanks to recently released FOIA requests, originally made by Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, 252 new pages of Wooten's whistleblowing evidence and testimony are now public.
And the contents of this document are damning, says the Idaho Tribune that did this article.
The document, which has been called Wooten 2, expands on allegations made in his original 18-page memo.
The original was 18 pages.
This is now 252 pages.
It details the tactics used not only against the Bundy Ranch protesters, but also outlines the ongoing warrantless military-style surveillance operations and social media misinformation campaigns being conducted by the federal government against U.S. citizens.
You want to know why I'm a marked man?
And I don't care. I would do it all again.
No regrets whatsoever.
Not any. These never-before-publicized surveillance operations are detailed on page 120 of the new Wooten document.
Do your worst, guys.
Do your worst. I don't fear you at all.
I despise what you do.
Absolutely despise it.
And I will oppose you with every ounce of my body.
Former Special Agent Wooten details the events leading up to the April 14th.
It's a vast, aggressive, militaristic trespass cattle impound operation led by Dan Love.
That's his words. Yeah, he's as upset about this stuff as I am.
But, of course, good guys like that get pushed out.
You want to obey the law and the Constitution?
We don't want people like you around.
Uh-uh. No.
No. Wooten goes on to discuss an extensive social media BLM misinformation campaign that seems to have the effect of aggravating public sentiment.
The misinformation campaign he said was similar to a military operation.
An intelligence gathering operation.
And was in regard to constitutionally protected First Amendment activities and akin to the intelligence preparation on the battlefield.
Remember, this is back in 2014, of course.
We've become accustomed to talking about this on a regular basis now.
But one of the other things that Wooten had said at the time, he said, do you realize, you know, when we started out as BLM, he said, the most that any of the agents would have is a sidearm pistol or something.
He said, now, full militarized stuff.
SWAT teams? The FBI couldn't specifically participate in intelligence gathering activities, he said, but I remember after the 2014 trespass cattle impound, but before the arrest operation, this intelligence gathering, generally over social media, using undercover accounts and open monitoring, was directed by Special Agent Dan Love.
And conducted by a newly formed BLM unit called the Threat Mitigation Unit, the TMU. Commanded again by former BLM Special Agent Dan Love.
This activity, which was evidently prohibited by FBI policy...
Was allowed and conducted in the absence of specific BLM policy, in essence, by using a directed loophole to conduct the electronic surveillance and monitoring.
They'll do any kind of, you know, prevarication, loophole, faux justification for any of this kind of stuff.
And so here we have the FBI, the BLM, doing what they do best, acting like criminals.
In the wake of the Bundy Ranch standoff, instead of getting demoted for going against the interagency threat assessment that clearly showed the Bundy family was not a threat, special agent in charge Dan Love got a promotion.
Yeah. In June 2016, says Wooten, the BLM stood up to the threat mitigation, stood up the threat mitigation unit.
In other words, they created it. Stop and think about this.
A threat mitigation unit?
What is the mission, supposedly, of the Bureau of Land Management?
Well, it's supposed to manage federal lands.
Federal lands, by the way, are a constitutional oxymoron.
The federal government under the Constitution doesn't have any authority to own anything.
That's why they created the District of Columbia.
Carved it out. That and various forts and ports.
End of story.
And that was the key underlying thing that was also very important about this from the very beginning.
I got involved because you can see this was being ramped up.
And to a standoff, and I wanted to get as much publicity on it as possible to head that off.
But, you know, there was also an underlying constitutional issue that was very important.
There was also, underlying that, a very important Agenda 21 issue, which we've now seen relabeled as the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainability, all that stuff.
That was all part of that.
You know, we've got to get all these people off the land.
And then we'll be able to exploit all the mineral resources and everything else on there for ourselves and do whatever we want to do.
He was the last remaining farmer.
And this was happening.
We see this happening now in a big, big way in everybody's face, no denying it, in the Netherlands.
But this was being done quietly to people out in the desert.
And nobody was talking about it.
And there had been, at one point in time, over 50 ranchers out there.
He was the last one left.
And so that's a big part of it, too.
You know, the Agenda 21 thing, the constitutional thing, and then the Waco thing.
So, they've got a threat mitigation unit.
It's just amazing.
In response to a rise in threats against public land employees and their resources.
Their resources, you see.
It all belongs to them.
We see that here even in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
I don't know if it's still going to be the most frequently visited park because they have come up with a way now to charge people.
You know, there's public roads that run through that so they can't force you to pay to drive through the park.
But if you just pull over to the side and look at the flowing river or something like that, or the vista in the mountains, oh, you better have a pass that you paid for.
Because this is our land.
And we got 99% of it off limits to you.
And if you want to just stop and look at some of the stuff, you better pay us.
It's our land, our resources.
They take it personally, don't they?
So, again, Threat Management Unit, they put in the guy who did such an awful job of it.
The losing general of the Battle of Bunkerville was tapped overseas security for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management Facilities Nationwide, promoted for that.
A special agent in charge of Nevada and Utah.
Dan Love made decisions about law enforcement tactics and security during the BLN's standoff.
And so, you know, he was a guy who, since he's in charge of all this, he was a guy who had the genius idea that they would go out in the middle of the desert.
And it's truly amazing when you look at Nevada, how much of that...
I'm not Nevada, but...
Yeah, Nevada. How much of that...
I almost said Utah, but...
Yeah, how much of Nevada...
It's owned by the federal government.
And just how big Clark County is.
Clark County is where Las Vegas is.
And it's like 99.99999% of the people live in Las Vegas.
But up there where the Bundy Ranch was, we'd have to travel, I forget what it was, but it's like an hour, hour and a half or something like that to get up there.
Still in the same county.
And there was absolutely nothing anywhere.
If you've ever been to Las Vegas, you know there's nothing anywhere around there, except for the city.
You know, there's a few little settlements, teeny, teeny, tiny things.
But where they were, they were way out, away from any other settlements.
And Dan Love had the great idea of going out there and putting up a little fence in the area and paid somebody to print up a sign that said free speech area.
I remember that.
I think he's a Democrat governor of Nevada.
Even he said, because that made the news and everybody was, what is this about?
And somebody put up a handwritten sign there when we got there.
It was there. Free speech is not an area.
But you know, it is an area at the Democrat and Republican conventions.
If you want to go there, you can go there and you can speak and you can protest, but you will do it in a cage, literally.
A cage that'll be many, many blocks away, out of eyesight, out of earshot, of anybody who's having their thing.
It's a perfect metaphor for what they want to do to everybody everywhere on the digital public square and everything else.
Oh, you're still there.
Well, I'm kind of shadow banned.
You know, you kind of move me way out here where nobody can see or hear me.
Because that's what Republicans and Democrats and federal bureaucracies do, isn't it?
Free speech area.
Wooten says in his document that he was concerned about BLM mission creep.
I was concerned about the creeps who were on a mission, too.
These intelligence-type gathering activities were evidently controversial enough to be prohibited by other agencies to include the FBI and the BLM, operating outside of any approved policy on these activities, he said.
As it turns out, Wooten was right.
Not long after the formation of the Threat Mitigation Unit, the BLM in Idaho began, quote, monitoring jail calls between defendants and their wives without prosecutor or FBI consent for the apparent purpose of making fun of post-arrest telephone calls between Idaho defendants and FBI targets.
You see, he's not just a petty tyrant.
He's a juvenile petty tyrant.
Dan Love is. Dan Love.
Wooten's document continues talking about how a BLM ASAC, I don't know what that is, described to me what amounted to a parabolic microphone, covert spy listening device, and a bionic ear booster and an amplifier.
In other words, listening that way instead of doing a wiretap.
And we've all seen that type of thing.
You know, you see that on the sidelines of the NFL. Well, I'm not going to talk anymore about that now.
We've got a lot of stuff to cover.
I could spend an entire program talking about this stuff.
We're going to take a quick break.
And I want to just remind people that a regular listener in support of the program, Audi, who has Modern Retro Radio, or he does MRR, he's having on his radio channel, he's got a lot of independent music.
And he asked me if he could have some music we use for the breaks that I put together.
And so I sent it to him, and he was nice enough to put it in his program and nice enough to send me a couple of clips with his introduction to it.
And so here's the first one.
A fistful of ugly dollars.
Thank you so much for listening to Modern Retro Radio.
We got some independent music here, and I am absolutely honored to include the music of one of my favorite podcasters, one of the greatest, most consistent in his values dudes out there.
I'm talking about David Knight.
The truth teller who got fired by Alex Jones, who now has built his own platform.
I am a daily listener of his content.
Watcher, actually, because I watch him on the Rockfin platform and sometimes Rumble.
And he includes a lot of his original music in his podcast.
And this one's one of my favorites.
I am so envious of whoever's doing the whistling in this track.
I can't whistle. I sound like a hundred-year-old tea kettle trying to go off.
This is one of my favorites. It's called Fistful of Ugly Dollars.
You are listening to independent music from David Knight right here on Modern Retro Radio.
Modern Retro Radio
Modern Retro Radio
Modern Retro
Radio Modern
Retro Radio And while that was playing, Audi sent this.
Thank you for the tip. That's very kind and generous.
I appreciate that. Audi MRR Modern Retro Radio said, just letting everybody know that Modern Retro Radio's Independent Artists Weekend is underway.
And two of the tracks, that's the first one there.
I'll play the other one that he sent as well.
Uh, two of his tracks are in rotation.
I'm also playing a track from our own Yona.
He's got a band as well.
So, um, Audi, uh, owns the, uh, modern retro radio.
Thank you very much for doing that. I appreciate that.
Very kind. And I don't usually play those.
You probably noticed that was a little bit, excuse me, a little bit longer.
And, uh, What I did, the reason I put that together and I called it a fistful of ugly dollars because the beginning of it is a fistful of dollars, but then when you get to the bridge, I used the good, bad, and the ugly.
And I did that.
Because everybody uses the Good, Bad, and the Ugly.
And so I didn't want to do a cover of that.
And so I like the bridge to the Good, Bad, and the Ugly, which people typically don't play.
And so both by the same composer who did all the music for the Spaghetti Westerns of Clint Eastwood.
And so they fit together pretty well.
But I did that as one piece, but it was so long, I thought, well, let me just split it up.
So I usually split that up into two different things.
So you hear the second half of it with one break, and you hear the first half of it with another break.
But that was the way they were originally put together.
And of course, the whistling was done by, not Travis, but my other son, who we keep anonymous.
His name is The Whistler.
He did that for me as well.
But let's talk a little bit about the news here.
And I want to begin with a listener comment.
This is from For the Love of the Road, and it's a good comment.
He says, I don't think Sound of Freedom is going viral as part of some sinister plan to chip children.
So I can't agree with that TikTok lady, he said.
But you're right that some things are used like that.
QAnon sucked a lot of people into its BS. I haven't heard of Caviezel bringing adrenochrome into any interviews about the movie, but of course critics will use past things that he said to bash the movie.
And he says, was that trantified?
You know, I said that, yeah, he said that, you're right, you caught that.
That is a reference to, oh brother, where art thou?
Yeah. I was just saying that to Travis, because that's become kind of a joke in our family.
He's bonafide. Yeah, he's bonafide.
Well, this guy's trantified and bonafide now today, because if you want to be bonafide, you've got to be trantified, that's for sure.
If not, they're going to pull you out and call you a sis.
The sissies call you sis, by the way.
But yeah, getting back to the point, it wasn't my point to criticize Caviezel.
I think he's sincere. But to talk about the fact that these people use any past statements, if they can draw you in about something, you need to discern the enemy's tactics.
And so I wasn't saying this to criticize him, and I'm sure he won't see what I had to say.
Maybe he will, but if he does see it, I hope he sees this as well.
I do believe that he is sincere.
But I also know that when you expose something serious...
These serious criminals, one of their favorite tactics is to throw you a bone and some stuff to make it look plausible, but something that's going to be easily disproven later on.
And by doing that, it'll allow them to cover up the truth that you exposed initially.
That's why we have to be very careful about what we put out.
And I think that the point of the lady there was not so much that this was a design by the people who did the movie.
I don't think that's the case.
And I don't think... I mean, they did this movie many years ago.
It sat on the shelf for a long time.
If there was a coordinated establishment plan to get this stuff out, Disney would have run it out, right?
But, you know, they're child groomers, so they don't like movies about child trafficking.
And so they didn't want to release this thing.
My concern was that...
Conservatives are getting, her important point, I think, was the fact that this is getting people very frustrated and angry.
I've seen so many people from Mel Gibson to individuals say the movie brought tears to my eyes, made me cry.
It's a very, you know, that's the thing about movies.
They really are visceral.
Very visceral.
And we need to, when we get emotionally charged up about real problems, we've got to make sure that they don't turn that into something that is going to be a fake solution.
And let me just say that most conservatives are fully on board with E-Verify to control illegal immigration.
DeSantis in Florida made it mandatory, but I've had this argument.
E-Verify has been around for a very long time.
And I've always talked about the dangers of E-Verify, especially the dangers of making it mandatory, and it really bothered me when they did that in Florida, and they bragged about that, and many supporters of DeSantis are saying, well, you know, he did something about illegal immigration.
No, he didn't. It's still going to be there.
This isn't anything that, what this says is that if you don't have government issued ID, and if you don't have government permission, your job, your ability to work is now privileged by the federal government.
And if you don't have that privilege granted to you, as an American, you'll be put out of work.
Let me tell you, the people who are coming across here illegally, who are already a part of the gray or black market economy, they're going to be able to work.
They're going to be able to do whatever they want.
These things are being targeted towards Americans.
And that's where the discernment needs to come in.
Yes, be upset about what is happening with child trafficking.
Yes, be aware that the open border situation is drug trafficking and child trafficking.
As I said, cartels have now branched out into new businesses.
We created them with our drug war.
And now they've branched out into child trafficking.
Just be careful about so-called solutions.
Especially the solutions that are being pushed by conservatives.
And you notice that this is being pushed back by liberal mainstream media.
They don't want you to even look at the problem.
They don't even want to talk about child traffic.
They don't even want to talk about what's happening at the border either.
But the people who do want to talk about that and do want to talk about the border, a lot of these news organizations have, in the past, for a very long time, advocated for E-Verify and these other things that are going to enslave us.
And I'll say it again. I said it yesterday.
Looking when they talk about we got artificial intelligence.
It can do deep fakes. Therefore, you need to have an ID in order to use the internet.
And you need to have a marker on every bit of content that you put up or we're not going to allow it to be posted.
Well, why don't you put that ID on artificial intelligence or control those companies?
Make them identify it. No, no, no.
Everything is an excuse to put controls on you.
On you. Or just take a look at The mania now of the open mania.
Oh, it's just a conspiracy theory.
They're not going to take your cars. Oh, yes, they are going to take your cars.
They demand to take your cars.
And the date that they want to take your cars is getting closer and closer.
And yet they don't care about the fact that just one cruise line with 63 cruise ships has more emissions than all of the cars in Western Europe.
43% more emissions than all of the cars in Western Europe combined.
Do they want to shut down the thing that has 43% more emissions than the cars?
No. They want to shut down the cars.
Why? Because it's about controlling you.
Do they want to control artificial intelligence?
No. They want to control you. Do they want to control child trafficking in the border?
No. They want to control you.
Everything comes back to that.
And so, from all appearances, I was surprised, as much as the left seems to hate this, I was surprised that critics gave it a 75% review, which tells you that it was a well-made movie.
I do, I have seen clips, though, where he was talking about the movie, and Jim Caviezel did bring in Adrenochrome.
And so, like I said, I don't doubt his sincerity, I don't doubt his heart.
I mean, he has, you know, guys very passionate, very sincere, and trying to do the right thing.
But we've got to be careful, because they will use that passion against you.
You've got to engage the head as well as the heart.
Just that simple.
Sound of Freedom is Real, says the anti-trafficking hero who inspired it.
This is New York Post.
Article. Liberal media outlets have pilloried it as a QAnon dog whistle, see, because they don't want to talk.
They will add the QAnon stuff.
They'll add the adrenochrome stuff to it to avoid talking about the real issue.
Classic case of using lies to conceal the truth.
It's a far cry from 2014, three years before QAnon was even a thing, and CBS News' straight coverage of the real-life raid in Columbia that rescued over 50 children and inspired the movie.
The sting operation was led by Tim Ballard, former Homeland Security Special Agent in California.
Having worked undercover on child trafficking cases for more than a decade, he quit his law enforcement job in 2013 to hunt down pedophiles abroad and to free the children that they enslaved.
I think also because he saw the institution really wasn't getting it done.
I've talked to Craig Sawyer, former Navy SEAL, also set up Veterans for Child Rescue and things like that.
So there's several independent organizations out there doing stuff like this.
Because again, the institutions are just not only corrupt, but dysfunctional.
The story not only raised awareness about the mushrooming issue of child sex trafficking and exploitation, but it also turned Ballard and his non-profit, Operation Underground Railroad, into the object of media interest.
He was profiled in Forbes with the headline, Meet a Guy Who Has Devoted His Life to Freeing Slaves.
And he appeared on a series of networks.
He was on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN. He said, I went on them.
All in 2014-2015.
All these mainstream media outlets wanted him.
And because it was on mainstream news, the story was seen by a director who said, oh, this is a Mexican actor and producer, Eduardo Veresteguay, who wanted to turn his story into a movie.
They got the funding for it.
They made the movie. It was going to be distributed by 20th Century Fox, as I point out.
Then Disney bought it and put it on the shelf.
And it took them five years to get Disney to agree to finally sell it.
They do make me look way more badass in the movie than I am or ever was, but it's based in truth, he said.
The kids are real.
What happened to them is real.
All the bad guys and the good guys are real.
And so, as we all know, it made more money than Indiana Jones with half of the theaters.
Variety critic, and Variety is one of the few places that would even review it.
It was mainstream media. They gave it a positive review.
Compelling story shines in authentic light in one of the crucial criminal horrors of our time.
One that Hollywood has mostly shied away from.
But then you've got the Mockingbird media outlets who say, no, this is all just a bunch of QAnon stuff.
Don't go see it. As I said, you know, there are plenty of true-life crime stories, and I'm just not interested.
You know, I see this stuff on a daily basis, and I don't need any more of that.
You know, I need to see old-fashioned Disney stuff in my spare time.
So this opposition...
Again, beware of the fact that it may be misdirected.
Your compassion may be misdirected.
You know, just as your compassion may be misdirected to say, oh, start talking about adrenochrome.
Even more importantly, they may misdirect our passion to try to stop this into a program which is going to be a Mark of the Beast system.
Be aware of that, especially Christians.
The Guardian says, Called it a QAnon-adjacent thriller.
He said it's an anti-trafficking fantasy fit for QAnon.
You had Mike Rothschild on CNN said these kinds of films are created out of moral panics.
Sound of Freedom specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings.
Again, it's a true story.
They used to all report it.
But now, because it is so open...
They want to try to pretend that the problem doesn't exist, and the solution that some right-wing politicians are pushing is absolutely the wrong thing.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has removed online warnings about child sex trafficking.
That's kind of telling, isn't it?
They... We're good to go.
According to a report in the Washington Examiner, they say that because the Department of Justice removed, quote, significant portions of its page on child sex trafficking, including information on international sex trafficking of minors, domestic sex trafficking of minors, and child victims of prostitutions.
Okay. Why would they do that?
Hmm. Heritage Foundation spokesperson Roger Serovino said for some reason people on the left get really uncomfortable and defensive talking about child sexual exploitation.
Well, I guess that's because they're trying to institutionalize it in the schools and have done it to a large extent with these drag-on storytime hours.
I call them dragons because they're not queens.
Republican administration usually direct more resources to child and human sex trafficking than Democrat administrations pull that back for some reason.
The report said that that was scrubbed was a section on domestic trafficking that had previously said this.
This is what the federal government site had previously said, but now Biden, and, you know, because I might be, you might think people are talking about Hunter or something.
Pimps and traffickers sexually exploit children through street prostitution and at adult nightclubs, illegal brothels, sex parties, motel rooms, hotel rooms, other locations throughout the United States.
But of course, when Andrew Tate does all of that to women that he says that he hates, well, he's a hero to conservatives, isn't he?
When Hunter Biden does that and takes pictures of it, puts them on his laptop, puts them on websites, well, he's a hero, isn't he?
Yeah, we see that all the time.
We're going to take another quick break.
This is another clip.
This is the second of the two clips that Audi is doing on Modern Retro Radio.
And this is also one that I typically break up into two different clips.
The Unsquared Dance Stomp.
Got some more David Knight original music here in the independent artist rotation here on Modern Retro Radio.
Folks, if you like consistency in reporting, objective reporting, even if it has an editorialized slant, it is based in documented research.
David Knight is really a podcast that I highly recommend.
He's consistent in his values.
Even if I don't agree 100% with everything he says, he's consistent in his values.
And we are proud to play his music here on Modern Retro Radio.
And I want to play another one of my favorites that's featured in most of his podcasts.
The time signature of this is befuddling.
It reminds me of the breakdown in the Beatles, George Harrison's Here Comes the Sun, which is actually rooted in Indian music, the Ravi Shankar type music.
So if you can keep up with this time signature, consider yourself a musical genius, because I can't, but I love listening to it.
This is The Great David Knight.
This one's called Unsquared Dance.
You are listening to independent music right here on Modern Retro Radio.
Modern Retro Radio
Modern Retro Radio
And so those are the two songs you got to play.
Yeah, those are the two 5-4 songs that I know.
I said 5-4 is a meter.
And I hear that 1-2-1-2-1-2-3.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
When we look at that, it is, I'm sorry, it's 7-4.
That's what I'm saying. 7-4.
5-4 is another one that was there.
It used to be a thing. The first part of that was a song by a keyboardist.
I'm starting to feel old.
I'm tired today, I've got to say.
But it was, if you know Take 5.
Uh, that crossed over was a mainstream hit.
That was in 5-4 time.
Uh, these two were in 7-4 time.
And, um, so, um, uh, Dave Brubeck.
There we go. See, it works.
The brain still works, but it's just getting really slow like the other muscles.
I can still stand up, but sometimes I got to go really slow and it really creaks.
Um, so yeah, Dave Brubeck.
That was on Square Dance, was the first part of that, as my cover of his song.
And he also did, you know, the 5-4 Take 5, which had Paul Desmond playing alto sax, a very popular song with it.
The second half of that was Don Ellis.
And that was a song which I will not repeat the title of.
Don Ellis was a special character in terms of, you know, he was right there with Andrew Tate decades ago.
And we actually did the university that I was going to, University of Tampa, where I met Karen.
I was with a jazz band there, and we had a series where we had Maynard Ferguson, and we had Don Ellis, and we had Dizzy Gillespie.
I mean, three trumpet players, three very different styles that they had.
Of course, Maynard Ferguson was known for his screaming high range, and we had some trumpet players who could do that.
We had some really good professional trumpet players who played professionally at Busch Gardens and at Disney World, because Disney World was only about an hour away, and then did a lot of gigs in the days when you had live music.
And so we had Maynard Ferguson, and he was really an interesting character.
He's older, and when we saw him, his lips just looked like he'd been beat to a pulp by a professional boxer.
It's amazing to me that he could even play.
But this is a guy who just stayed there in the high range for the longest amount of time.
And even though he was pretty old and he didn't look like he was in great shape, he had amazing breath control and power in that.
And he demonstrated to us something I still don't understand.
Called it circular breathing.
He said, I can hold a note forever.
And I don't know how in the world he did it.
We watched him do it, and he kind of, you know, he wasn't playing it really loud and really high, but he was kind of bent over a little bit, and he was kind of rocking back and forth, and he just kept that note going on forever.
It's the strangest thing I've ever seen.
We had Dizzy Gillespie in.
Of course, Dizzy Gillespie is the bebop trumpet player who, famous because he had his kind of gimmick, was that instead of standing up straight, he would kind of hunch over, and he bent the bell of his trumpet up.
So when he was hunched over, the trumpet was facing straight out anyway.
And when he would play, he would balloon his cheeks out.
And of course, he was kind of old at the time as well.
And we won't put that on.
Karen brought in a picture of us with a band, but I'm not going to put that on.
But anyway, from years of just letting his cheeks go out, I mean, it would really balloon out huge when he would play.
And then the other guy that we did was Don Ellis.
And like I said, Don Ellis was kind of a crazy character.
He had a lot of people in his band.
One guy in particular that was from some Eastern European country, I want to say Bulgaria.
This is before the wall fell.
And, um, they were into unusual measure, uh, meters, I should say.
And, um, as a matter of fact, um, you know, that, that whole area there, uh, things that we ring Christmas bells, you know, the, um, that song that was a Ukrainian and, uh, kind of gives you an idea how they like to do things in a, in a different meter than we do.
You know, it's not a straight up.
Uh, even meter or three, four, but they have a lot of different meters.
One of the songs that they did, uh, Don Ellis did was, uh, his, his pianist called it blues and elf.
And he took the Beethoven song that everybody knows.
And everybody learns to play. If you're taking lessons, moonlight sonata, right?
And it's 12 notes to measure.
You know, you have 12-8 time, and it's, you know, triplets and kind of four beats.
Like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
You know, you've heard that, right?
And what he did was, he did it and cut off the last eighth note.
Thank you.
And so it makes it go...
And it keeps changing every measure.
He misses one. And so it brings the accent in on a different one.
And it was really funny.
He does that for a while. And then he goes into jazz improvisation with the rest of the band.
In 11-8 time.
That will really play with your head.
And he called it... I thought it was very clever.
He called it Blues and Elf.
Elf being the German word, because, you know, Beethoven's German, the German word for 11.
So I had some interesting things in there.
That last one there was a Don Ellis song.
We did that, I think we did that when he came, or I did that as an arrangement, I can't remember, for the band.
I did a couple of songs.
I did a Herbie Hancock song that was an arrangement for the band back then.
But anyway, let's talk about...
Lala Harris. She isn't having, you know, it's kind of a joke.
It was a joke when she was put in charge of artificial intelligence for the Biden administration.
We didn't think they could exceed that joke.
But then she had this press conference where she explains to everybody what AI is.
And I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing.
First of all, it's two letters.
It means artificial intelligence.
But ultimately what it is, is it's about machine learning.
And so the machine is taught.
And part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine, and we can predict then if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process.
Yeah, and one person who retweeted that, it's gone viral, of course, said, so proud she can spell it, though.
It's two letters, you know?
It's this fancy thing.
Let me think of that clip that went viral a few years ago when a woman says, yeah, we're going to just get some pizza or whatever.
We're going to just get all sassy, you know?
This is something that's just kind of fancy and sassy, and it's two letters.
It means artificial intelligence.
But in her convoluted way, what she's telling you is that we're going to teach the machines that And we're going to manipulate what it gives to you.
In other words, what she's saying here, she's talking really about...
Let me just repeat what she had to say.
The machine is taught. And part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will determine.
Garbage in, garbage out is what we used to always say.
And so they're putting a lot of garbage in.
They're putting a lot of garbage bias in.
She says, so we can predict then, if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process?
In other words, you know, what she's talking about in her own convoluted la-la way is what I'm so concerned about.
Is that people are going to be enthralled and fascinated and in awe of this?
They're going to defer to it as not artificial intelligence, but authoritative intelligence, you see.
That's what they're working on changing the AI into, authoritative intelligence.
And yet, what it's going to be is simply a facade of the stuff that they've already built into it as a bias.
You know, they're training it. Why do you think it comes back with these answers that sounds like it's mainstream media or whatever?
They're programming that obvious bias into it, and yet it's going to be put out there as authoritative intelligence.
But remember, she's given us other things in the past, like her definition of transportation.
It's put out by RNC Research.
They had fun with this. Her definition of transportation.
This issue of transportation is fundamentally about just making sure that people have the ability to get where they need to go.
Yeah, that's transportation.
It's just that basic, she said.
And then this one about her explaining culture.
Culture is a reflection of our moment and our time, right?
And present culture is the way that we express how we're feeling about the moment.
And we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment.
Yeah, so profound.
And so we're going to talk about what's happening in the Democrat political races coming up.
A very interesting move.
Made by Manchin out of West Virginia.
Joe Manchin, the senator there.
And he's going to Iowa and he's talking to a group that is trying to put together a third party run.
Is he going to do that?
That would be a very interesting development, wouldn't it?
The combination of warp speed advances in neurotechnology, such as brain implants or scans that can increasingly peak inside of minds, And artificial intelligence poses a threat to mental privacy, says a UN organization, UNESCO. Now, you know it's bad when even the UN is warning about it, but of course, maybe this is just some predictive programming.
This is a report from AFP, French mainstream media, talking about the dangers of neurotechnology.
You know, the types of things like Elon Musk is so focused on, Neuralink.
They said, Neurotechnology is a growing field seeking to connect electronic devices to the nervous system, mostly so far to treat neurological diseases, to restore movement, communication, vision, hearing.
Yeah, oh, we could look at this.
Look, you can have the deaf here, the blind see, the lame walk.
Oh, yeah, bow down and worship your AI god.
Anyway, that's...
One part of it that would be welcome, but that is going to be used to bring in the other part of it, which you don't want.
Recently, neurotechnology has been supercharged by artificial intelligence algorithms, which can process and learn from data in ways that they couldn't before.
So, one person with UNESCO who's put this out said, we're on a path to a world in which algorithms will enable us to decode people's mental processes.
And directly manipulate the brain mechanisms underlying their intentions, their emotions, and their decisions.
So should we get that tinfoil hat?
Don't throw it away.
Pull it out of the closet.
You may need that pretty soon.
In May, scientists in the U.S. revealed that they had used brain scans and AI to turn the gist of what people were thinking about into written words as long as they'd spent long hours inside a large mRNA machine.
Then later that month, billionaire Elon Musk's Neuralink received approval to test its coin-sized brain implants on humans in the U.S. He has said that his ultimate goal is to ensure that humans are not intellectually overwhelmed by AI. He points out that, oh yeah, we're going to be able to do some great stuff here, but here's the real goal.
We've got to become cyborgs so that we can survive artificial intelligence.
So it's like, take the chip or die.
You're not going to be able to survive if you don't chip yourself and become part machine, cyborg.
If you're not part of the Borg, you're not going to survive.
So he's selling transhumanism here, isn't he?
Don't be gaslighted by that kind of stuff.
You don't need to take the chip.
And you will regret it if you do, just like the people who were coerced into or bribed or blackmailed or whatever into getting the jab.
They regret that.
And nobody who didn't get that.
Regrets it now. You will regret it if you go down this path that Elon Musk and these transhumanists want you to do.
It is an act of unbelief in God to take that.
God can't save me. I've got to do this myself.
I've got to join the Borg Collective in order not to be made obsolete by...
by artificial intelligence in order to still have a job because if I don't have my brain computer interface they won't let me use a computer and I won't have a job well you don't want those kind of jobs just like I said about the vaccine you know if they're going to do that to you you don't want to work for those kind of people if anything it's fantastic she said Pointing to the technology,
investment in neurotech companies increased 22 times from 2010 to 2020.
The number of patents for neurotech devices doubled between 2015 and 2020, with the U.S. accounting for nearly half of all the patents worldwide.
So they have spent, on R&D, they've spent $33 billion on it, but that's nothing compared to, that's what they're talking about in this UNESCO situation.
Press release, that's nothing compared to what the U.S. government is spending on it.
During the Obama administration, he came up with a BRAIN project, and I forget what the acronym stood for, but he had something that each one, you know, B-R-A-I-N, and I forget what the acronym was, but that was $200 million, and that was just in one year.
And of course you've got all the DARPA projects and things like that.
So, just a word to the wise about where these people want to go.
And whether you can trust this authoritative intelligence and so forth.
Kind of interesting to see that a severed finger was sent to Emmanuel Macron's residence, to the palace there.
Between July 9th and July 10th, A disturbing package was received at the palace where he lives, and it was a severed finger.
No word as to whether or not this was the middle finger.
So we don't know exactly what the intentions were, why they would send that to him.
I started thinking, what could this possibly be about?
Was this maybe somebody who was practicing with a guillotine and had an accident?
At any rate, it's cheaper than mailing a horse head to him, isn't it?
I think it is something of a threat.
I don't know. But they're looking at this.
It's a mystery. It remains to be seen whether or not Inspector Clouseau can get fingerprints and trace this thing down to see who the rightful owner is.
I don't know. Was this taken from somebody as a crime?
Then they said this immediately triggered.
Aha! There we go. It's the trigger finger.
It's not the middle finger. This finger immediately triggered the appropriate procedures for cases involving distress.
So we're going to look for that.
We've got the trigger finger now, and we're going to follow up on this story with Inspector Closso.
They've got their best men on it there in France.
Speaking of triggering, we have a university has put a trigger warning on Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Old Man and the Sea.
What could possibly trigger them with the old fisherman who was in a boat fishing?
Well, they said it has graphic fishing scenes.
Graphic fishing scenes.
It's a university in Scotland.
Putting a warning on there for their snowflake students about graphic fishing scenes.
Content warnings enable students to make informed choices, they said.
Now, why didn't we think of that when I was in school?
So I could get out of some of these assigned readings.
The novel centers on a fisherman, Santiago, who hooks a large marlin but is unable to fully reel it in and struggles with keeping it on the line for many days.
Enduring pain and exhaustion and over time learning to respect the beast and to have sympathy for it.
Ultimately, though, he kills it with a harpoon, but is then forced to defend his catch from sharks that eat away at the corpse.
Now this is highly symbolic, you know, the sharks be essentially the IRS. In real life.
Yeah, put a trigger warning on his suicide.
Trigger warnings for graphic fishing scenes while we introduce trans porn to young children without informing their parents.
Said a professor of history at the University of Dallas.
Says there's no word, or she did, Susan Hanson, she said there's no word for this but Orwellian.
She told the College Fix, people who have the article.
Hemingway's novel joins a list of old-time classics that have also been slapped with trigger warnings.
Such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye.
Now, Catcher in the Rye, you may want...
If you've ever had any contact with anybody from the CIA, you may not want to read that book.
But just saying.
The Mail also reported the University of Highlands also put content warnings on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which was flagged because it contains violent murder and cruelty.
As well as Shakespeare's Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, because they have scenes of stabbing, poisoning, and suicide.
And so a professor of theology at the University of St.
Thomas in Houston said, the modern university is no place to go if you want to be treated like an adult, get an education, or gain wisdom.
That's right. Stay away.
Stay away. Especially the Ivy League schools.
It's a place to go if you want to be treated like a child when it comes to the realities of history, literature, and even, apparently, the food chain.
Pictures of graphic fishing scenes.
Speaking of trigger warnings, we have the Tennessee governor who is pushing really hard for red flag laws.
He wants to bring in a special session of the legislature in Tennessee.
By the way, the date for that, Travis, is August the 21st.
Birthday present to you for the planned red flag laws here in Tennessee.
Oh, boy. Looks, though, like he doesn't have any support.
The rest of the Republicans are not foolish or sold out enough to go along with that.
And so he's not even sure that he's going to be able to do this.
He hasn't officially declared it.
It's anticipated. And it's an anticipated date.
But he's also running into a lot of resistance, said one person.
And this is from Bering Arms.
At this point, I don't think he's got the votes.
Especially with competing legislation that is coming on the table.
And this is what we have to be concerned about.
So he wants to go out there and he wants to do a kinder and gentler red flag version of this.
That's the way he puts it, right?
Well, he doesn't use those terms.
I'm using those terms to point out what a fraud he is.
But, yeah, it's not quite as bad, you know.
I think they did something like they got rid of maybe the ex parte hearing or something like that.
I don't know. I don't really care.
It's a God-given right.
You're prohibited from doing anything to it because you swore to the Constitution.
End of story. I don't really care about anything else you've got to say.
We're done at that point.
But you've got another representative, Farrell Haley, I think, said that he's working with the NRA. On legislation to deal with mental health in response to the mass shootings that were there in Nashville.
We've got to do something about it.
No, you don't. You don't need to do anything about it.
And if you're going to do something about it, why don't you show people the tranny manifesto, which they're going to such great lengths to hide.
I would suggest to these legislators that if they go there, they make a big deal about saying we've got to have this...
If you're going to base new legislation...
Based on this event, we need to have a better understanding of this.
So we need to be able to see that, and we need to have the Nashville Police Department stop trying to hide this from people.
So we need to know what's going on with this program of insanity that's being pushed to kids.
We need to know what's happening with this program of pharmaceutical insanity that's being pushed to kids.
The SSRIs, as RFK Jr.
has talked about, right?
And yet nowhere is that mentioned by the NRA either.
Or this legislator.
The NRA is calling for the legislation that will, quote, take care of the individual, take them out of the equation, not take everybody else's gun out of the equation that's not involved in this, and that is protecting the Second Amendment.
Well, why don't we take the tranny grooming out of the equation?
Why don't we take the SSRIs out of the equation?
Why don't we take the SSRIs out of the people?
Why don't we shut that down?
Well, you know, it's not just what we take away.
It's not going to save us to try to take away guns.
It's not even going to save us to try to take away SSRIs because we've got deeper problems in this country.
What we've been doing is we've been taking away God.
So maybe instead of just looking at things that we can take away, take away guns, take away drugs, take away, you know, the psychological grooming of people, maybe we add something back in.
There's an article from, this is Slate, and it says, how do you resurrect an empty church?
Well, you know, we can't resurrect anything.
God does the resurrections.
But God's been kicked out of our churches for a long time, as I've been showing you, you know, with these people who are now, have made a God out of LGBT stuff.
You know, we're not going to be doing any resurrections.
What we're called to do is to speak the truth to men.
And then we're also called to pray to God, and He'll do the resurrection.
Do you believe that? Do you believe even that there is such a thing as truth?
If there is such a thing as truth, are you searching for it?
Are you speaking about it when you find it?
On June 25th, says Slate, Summerfield Church in Milwaukee held its last Sunday service.
The rough-cut sandstone church with its bright red doors and stained glass windows was built in 1904 to house the state's oldest Methodist congregation.
It occupies a prominent corner a few blocks north of downtown.
By this spring, however, the congregation had dwindled to just 11 members, none of them younger than 65.
And the repair bill to get the water-damaged structure ship shape was $1.3 million.
With it, Milwaukee loses not just a church, but also a cooling center during heat waves, a place where hot meals are served until 2 a.m.
on snowy nights, a meeting point for alcoholics and narcotics synonymous, and as a physical structure itself, a mental landmark for locals.
And so they're saying, well, you know, we like the way this building looks.
And they're doing some really good things there.
And I'm not saying that any of those things are wrong or should not be done.
Certainly they should be. But you see, were they feeding people's souls?
Or were they just feeding their body?
We can fall off of this horse on either side, and we can just be completely detached and act like a monastery or a college or something and not have any physical contact with anybody, not do anything to help them.
Or we can go the other way, which is typically what happens with more liberal congregations.
I'm assuming that's the case because the United Methodists have typically gone that way, especially in the big cities.
And that's what has happened.
You know, just like we had that guy who calls himself an archbishop.
He's an archgrifter in the Church, quote-unquote, of England.
And he was saying, you know, we've got to get rid of the Our Father.
We've got to get rid of the Father. We've got to focus on the Our.
We've got to focus on how we're going to help people.
Let's give them a hot meal or some air conditioning during a heat wave, or we can help them when they're addicted to drugs or something like that.
Well, you know, all that stuff God is capable of providing.
If you follow Him, those things will be added to you.
But they don't seek God first.
And so, as Slate said, this is a story we're playing over and over in cities across the United States where older churches have been hammered by neighborhood change and by maintenance costs, coinciding with the national trend of plummeting religious attendance across all faiths.
You see, this is a picture of what is happening to us.
The church is a living thing.
It's not a building. We are living stones.
But we are living stones that have moved off of our foundation.
We've abandoned that foundation of Christ.
And we've lost the life that is there.
We've lost our foundation.
We've lost our life in this.
We're just dead, hollowed out buildings.
And like these actual church buildings, the churches themselves, actual people, are just kind of hollowed out and waiting for something to knock them down.
And that's what they talked about. They said, churches have been on the edge of a cliff.
COVID was a blast of air that blew them off.
Said a consultant for the United Methodist Church.
Like a tree. They're already kind of dead and hollowed out, and it just needs a breeze to come along and knock them over.
But when we look at what is happening in New York City, for example, I said the issue made headlines there when there was a dozen-person congregation of West Park Presbyterian Church trying to sell its 19th century building to a developer who will demolish it and build apartments.
And so some of the people, some celebrities like Mark Ruffalo and others, said, well, but we like the way that looks, and we don't want to have it just torn down and a modern apartment building put up.
But this is a church that now only has 12 members, and they've got a $50 million maintenance bill.
How did we get to the situation where, you know, we had enough people in the churches that it was not a problem for them to build something like this, and now we can't even maintain them?
And when we look at these church buildings that are coming down, it's very much like what we see happening with CRT. You know, Black Lives Matter.
As they're pulling down statues about our history.
You know, we don't know our history.
And we don't have any connection to what was done by these people that somebody in previous generations built statues to because it made such a significant contribution to society and to people's lives.
So they built the statues. We don't know those people.
We have no connection to those people.
We're tearing those things down and destroying them.
And we're destroying what they built as well in society.
And that is what is happening with the churches.
Churches long ago lost their connection to God.
Why were these churches built?
What was this? What was this Christian religion?
I don't know anything about that.
And so these things are now being torn down.
Or they're decaying on their own and falling down.
Yeah, a lot of institutional corpses.
Not just the FBI, but the churches as well.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Making sense.
common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, yesterday I was talking about the new recruit of the National Guard.
Kind of a private Benjamin meets Norman Bates in the shower type of thing.
We've got these people there, and I'm forced to shower with them, or if I just want to drop out, I have to re-enlist at another point in time.
You had a senator bring that up to the guy who is currently head of the Air Force, a top general, top officer in the Air Force, and he was appointed by President Trump.
He's all about CRT and LGBT and DEI and all the rest of his stuff.
And so this Trump appointee, Biden likes him so much, he's going to make him chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And so the senator says, you know, what about that?
I understand it's really complicated. Yeah, it is complicated.
We just really can't figure out how to balance these rights, can we?
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, there isn't anything to balance here.
There's another example of this.
A teen girl, when she blew the whistle on this, she's in a swim team at the YMCA. You remember what the C used to stand for?
Christian. Used to stand for Christian.
A YMCA swimming coach in Illinois accused a 16-year-old girl of hate speech for voicing concerns over a male claiming to be a transgender woman walking nude into the girl's locker room.
The girl brought her concerns to head swimming coach Alex Totura, but he told her that there was nothing he could do to stop it.
But it didn't end the controversy as shortly afterwards several parents organized to bring their concerns to the YMCA's chief executive officer.
They don't care.
Nowhere in the organization do they care about this.
As a matter of fact, they took the side of the nude guy who decides he wants to walk through the girls' locker room.
Some of the girls on the team also allegedly began hanging signs on the women-only locker room reading, Women's Rights...
Biological Women Only and Safe Sport.
That's a non-profit authorized by Congress dedicated to ending physical, emotional, sexual abuse in sports.
After these signs went up, the father of the girl said that the coach, Totura, retaliated by saying the girl was engaging in hate speech and throwing her off the swimming team.
Totura allegedly told the girl she was, quote, not allowed to participate in the swim team and was asked to leave the pool area.
Well, you know, I've got to say, I guess I am guilty of hate speech.
Because I really hate to see this kind of thing being done.
I really hate to see, you know, a nude guy allowed to walk through a girl's locker room.
And I hate it even more.
When corrupt organizations, like the YMCA, from top to bottom, support this.
The YM... We should take that C out of there.
Just call it the YMA. Just call it Y. Why?
Why do you have this?
The Y claims the girl is lying, and she was never kicked off of the team.
Still, the organization has rules that prevent complaints about transgenders using whatever bathroom suits their fancy.
And they have lashed out at these types of complaints before.
In August of 2022, an 8-year-old girl was banned from a Hawaii in Port Townsend, Washington for raising concerns about naked men walking around in women's locker rooms.
An 8-year-old girl was concerned about that.
So they kicked her out. In January, a Hawaii in San Diego went on the attack against a teen girl who was upset by a naked man seen inside the girl's locker room.
The girl was reportedly called a bigot by the Y staff in Ohio.
A judge ruled that a man claiming to be a woman was not guilty of flashing girls in the woman's locker room of a local Y because he was so fat you couldn't see anything.
That's what they said.
That's an interesting defense.
I wonder how he proved his innocence.
I don't want to see that myself.
What we are seeing here is a result of the radical left's agenda to put young men in harm's way, young girls in harm's way.
For the sake of catering to confused biological men who think they are women, said the spokesperson for this particular case.
That's not what is happening.
These people are not confused.
Some of these individuals may be gaslighted, but this agenda, they know exactly what they're doing.
And as soon as you bow to this, They've got something else to come up next that'll be even more outrageous.
And, okay, you agree with that?
Now, what about this? How about this?
Take a look at this. It was just yesterday that I talked about the fact, I said, you know, when we've got all these outrages everywhere, why focus on something that, again, is...
Not been proven, very difficult to prove, the adrenochrome thing, right?
And saying that, you know, they're getting adrenochrome by murdering children and getting their blood, that type of thing.
Adrenochrome is a real thing.
But, you know, that part of it is very difficult to prove.
We haven't had any convictions of that.
And, you know, if it is happening with elites, they're covering it up.
But so focus on, I said, isn't it outrageous enough what we're doing to kids, what we're doing here, this type of stuff?
Isn't it outrageous enough what we're doing with abortions, for example?
Murdering babies alive and then harvesting their organs for the NIH and Fauci-type organizations?
Fauci was a customer.
You know, let's have some organs so we can test them, test our drugs on those things.
And so, in the context of all that happening, as I said, in Maine, they're about to pass a law that will allow abortion full term for no reason at all.
And so one person in the Maine legislature who said, well, I don't have the votes to stop this.
Maybe I can at least appeal to their decency and get an amendment saying that if you abort babies, you can't sell their organs.
And they shut that down.
So while Maine is shutting all that down, a Maine public school...
Paid a drag performer $1,000 to speak to LGBT students.
As a matter of fact, they paid two of them.
So they spent $2,000.
They only mention one of them because the other one's name was redacted.
But the one whose name was not redacted is a guy who goes by the name of Priscilla Poppycox.
This was done in a high school.
And this was discovered by parents who are basically doing a Freedom of Information Act request.
May 4th is part of the school's Support, Educate, Empower series to empower LGBT students.
Do we do that with anybody else?
Not really. The school, do we try to empower people's spiritual connections to God?
No, we just try to empower their connections to evil and to the devil.
That's why I don't want to call these people drag queens anymore.
They're dragons. And if you let them...
They will drag you to hell with them, because that's where they're headed.
And when they talk about this, they said, well, this is a grant that the school had.
A $15,000 grant from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, which aims to advance racial equity in public education.
See, what you need to solve this CRT stuff is the understanding of the way God sees people, different groups.
He talks about distinctions between nations, tongues, and tribes.
Distinctions between political groups, between language groups, and between cultural groups.
Nations, tongues, and tribes.
But he doesn't talk about different races.
He doesn't talk about different skin colors and things like that.
It's really the language, the cultures, the political divisions that are there.
And you have to understand that when we talk about races, as Ken Ham always likes to say, the difference is we're all one race.
We're all descended from Adam.
We're all descended from Noah.
The difference is which way are we racing?
Some people are racing to God, some people are racing to hell, and these people are racing to hell.
We'll drag you along with them with these drag-on performances, if you let them.
They'll drag your kids straight to hell with them.
In a 90-minute workshop entitled, Make Them Hear You, this guy discussed growing up gay in Maine, he said.
And as they advertised it, they said there's been an opportunity for students to gain some firsthand knowledge of how being different is the biggest advantage that we all have.
Except that they demand conformity.
If you want to be different, be a Christian in school.
See what happens. It's always been that case, right?
You always have this teen rebellion where they're going to rebel against their parents and rebel against the culture.
Yet they're all doing the same thing.
And they're all conforming with each other.
And this Lord of the Flies dance that we always do in every generation.
But what this generation is doing now, the tune that's being played, is LGBT. Parents of first graders at a popular city center in Philadelphia public school were outraged after they were notified of a drag-on story hour with their children's classroom.
So this one in Maine was being organized by an English teacher.
You remember when the school lockdowns were happening?
And they were going to be, parents would have the capability of monitoring these classes.
I remember there was an English teacher that was caught by, I think, lips of TikTok saying, oh, parents are going to freak out when they see what I'm teaching their kids.
A lot of this stuff is coming through the English class.
I guess that's why kids can't speak English or write today because they're so focused on On this Brave New Schools perversions that they're out there.
We've had a victory in Tennessee.
The Sixth Circuit Court, I think I mentioned this briefly earlier in the week, they're allowing Tennessee's ban on transgender surgery on minors.
So in Tennessee, they said, you're not going to do this surgery to minors because they don't have the maturity to consent to this.
And, you know, Chris Christie doesn't like that idea.
He thinks if the parents want to do that to their kids, we should let them.
No, no. We don't let parents sexually abuse their kids.
We don't let parents murder their kids.
We don't let parents do a lot of things to their kids.
As a matter of fact, we take kids away from parents like that.
But, you know, he's all for that.
Anyway, the Sixth Circuit Court reversed a lower court decision that allowed Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for children to go into effect while this appeal is pending.
Now, one of the interesting things about this is It's what this judge who put an injunction against it said.
And it's also interesting to see, there's been a lot of articles written about it, but I picked this one from Breitbart here.
Breitbart is very big on the fact that these two judges, two out of three judges at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, shut this thing down.
And they lead...
With information, one of them was appointed by George W. Bush, and the other one was appointed by Donald Trump.
Hey, Republicans, all right.
Well, they don't tell you.
And come on, if they went to the trouble of looking to see who appointed these two judges, One of them by George W., the other one by Trump.
Okay? If they went to the trouble of looking this up and mentioning the name of the judge, they could very easily go back and look up the name of the judge who put this decision in.
I did. And to see who appointed him, I did.
Guess who appointed him? Trump.
And what he had to say, this guy's name is Eli Richardson.
So... Last month, a federal district court judge in Tennessee ruled the state's law was unconstitutional on the basis of sex discrimination, preventing the law from taking effect.
And I talked about this at the time.
I said this is absolutely outrageous.
First of all, I don't think this should be his jurisdiction.
I think the people in Tennessee should say, go pound sand.
You've got nothing to say about this.
I've said this all along about abortion.
And guess what? That's what the Dobbs decision is all about.
You don't have the authority to intervene here.
And so that's what the state officials should have done, I think, even instead of appealing it to the court system.
But they appealed it to the court system and the appellate court, federal court, and this is a state issue.
The state cannot protect these children, is what this guy is trying to say.
What could possibly be his justification for this?
We'll talk about that, but what I first wanted you to see was the fact That this is, you know, I understand that, you know, when you appoint judges, as I've said many times, you know, Forrest Gump was right.
They're like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're going to get.
And that's really true with these judges, isn't it?
You never really know what you're going to get.
But they skewed this report to say, look, the two guys that did this for us are Republican-appointed, but they don't talk about the Republican-appointed judge who took it upon himself to do this single-handedly to try to shut down this law to protect kids.
And so the appellate court said, we think that the state of Tennessee is going to win, that they're going to be able to stop mutilation of minors.
And we're going to expedite this process and we're going to have this done by September 30th.
But because we think they're going to win, we're going to remove this injunction and we're going to let the law go into effect.
The law was supposed to have begun July 1st.
Here we are on the 14th, so it's going to happen two weeks later.
But what possible prevarication could this Trump-appointed judge, Eli Richardson, have used with this?
Well, he wrote a 69-page decision.
He said, the gist of it was, he said, criminalizing gender-affirming care for trans kids, but not for cisgender kids, imposes disparate treatment on the basis of sex.
What utter nonsense!
The cisgender kid, they like to call it, he uses a cisgender kid.
Normal kids are not trying to transform their body.
And this isn't coming from the kids anyway.
We all know that. And so they're not trying to transform their body.
And so this is not about disparate treatment on the basis of sex.
He's completely lost the plot.
This is totally about preventing kids who don't have the maturity to do this, to make this decision, from being groomed and manipulated by adults.
As a matter of fact, LifeSite has a very good article.
Former LGBT activist renounces her job.
She said, my job was to groom kids.
She said, what have I contributed to here?
She said, I started to realize that what I've been doing at my job at the LGBT Center was grooming.
They'd said that the job was doing outreach to K-12.
She said, I was hired to conduct LGBT community outreach and education.
I thought, wow, I want to help people who are being marginalized and who are being oppressed, and I don't think that anyone should be discriminated against.
She said, I had no idea what I was doing at the time.
I was being used as a Trojan horse for this huge marketing campaign.
I didn't know what was going on.
That was normalizing these policies, these practices of pushing irreversible medical damage on healthy kids.
What have I contributed to?
I felt devastated, she said.
It was a difficult process to deal with.
I had to really face myself and what I had done.
She said, we're going to schools or businesses, organizations, community.
They would see us as experts. But really, I didn't know what I was teaching.
I was doing what I was told because that was my job.
I'm really concerned that our children are being told complete untruths about themselves and their bodies and the world around them.
And that is setting them up for danger.
It's setting them up to internalize feelings of shame against their own body just for being male or being female.
LifeSite News' Jonathan Van Maren said it's obvious to any reasonable person that a child of four or five years old supposedly identifying as non-binary has little to do with a child's identity which he or she cannot even conceptualize at that age.
A non-binary preschooler or kindergartner is a bit like a vegan cat.
We all know who's making the decision here.
Remember that social media thing that went viral where the woman was trying to say, yeah, my cat's really vegan.
And see, doesn't want the meat.
Pulling the cat away from the meat.
So it goes for the vegetables here.
Kids want to be popular.
They want to be special. The fastest way of achieving that these days is to identify somewhere on the LGBT spectrum.
Well, that's exactly right.
Before we run out of time, And let me just, I'll cover one more article before I go to a different topic here.
I want to get into what's going on with money.
We have Gerald Slenty who's going to be joining us.
And some politics as well.
He's going to be joining us in about 14 minutes.
And I'm sure that you've seen this clip of, you know, some wild, tired individual who says he's a transgender and he wants to have an artificial womb in place because he wants to be able to have an abortion.
And so LifeSite News covered this.
And so you remember... Filmmaker John Waters, he did some really crazy cult films.
We'll just call it that. He said, sometimes I wish I was a woman just so I could have an abortion.
This has been around for quite a while.
This sort of nakedly pro-abortion sentiment is not as rare as some readers might assume.
As a pro-life activist, says the article in LifeSite News, I've heard flippant feminists and angry abortion supporters say plenty of times that they dedicate their next abortion to pro-lifers.
In our progressive era, maybe we should spell that error, E-R-R-O-R, abortion is seen in many ways as central to the feminist identity, thus central to what it means to be a postmodern woman, liberated from the constraints of family, children, and nature itself.
And of course, postmodern means post-objective truth.
That's how we get to the T. Most feminist thinkers, most notably Gloria Steinem, have referred to their abortions as pivotal moments in their liberation and thus identify a sort of perverse baptism of blood.
And by the way, we're talking about Gloria Steinem.
Remember her autobiography, My Life on the Road.
She talked about how she worked for the CIA. She praised it.
She said, yeah, they were using me to push feminism and all the rest of this stuff.
And she said, I was very happy with what I do with the CIA. She described them in her book as liberal, non-violent, Honorable?
That's even more laughable.
The CIA, she described that way.
Yeah, she's got about as much of a handle on the CIA as she does on what is happening with feminism and the rest of it.
I'm not going to take a break because we're getting really short on time.
I wanted to mention what is happening in Ukraine.
Well, actually, we'll talk about that with Gerald.
Let's talk a little bit about what is going on in the Democrat Party, the politics involved there.
There was a very funny back and forth that happened at an RFK Jr.
event. As you know, Gerald loves some RFK Jr.
But this is from page 6, and it begins by saying, this ain't Camelot.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And I think it's kind of funny because the whole Camelot and JFK thing and the connections of RFK Jr.
to climate change. Remember the song from Camelot, you know, that there's a legal limit to the snow here in Camelot and all this other kind of stuff and how the temperatures are regulated.
Well, that's not real life either.
But this is page 6.
Uh, is the name of the publication.
Page six regrets to report that a press dinner to boost RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign descended into a foul bout of screaming and polemic farting on Tuesday night.
Now that's the headline that grabbed your attention.
A shouting match over climate change broke out between two boisterous old men, sending the evening down an extremely unfortunate path.
The gaseous exchange, to which Page Six bore reluctant witness, began after a guest asked Kennedy, founder of the ecological organization Waterkeeper Alliance, about the environment.
And it seems that the mere inquiry was enough to set off an apparently drunk gossip columnist, Doug Deschert, host of the event, who became enraged and screamed at the top of his lungs, the climate hoax!
Now, there's a distinction between cleaning up pollution, which is what that water project was that was up there in New York that RFK Jr.
did. That's great. That's honorable.
But there's a big distinction between that and the climate change stuff.
They blur the lines, and all these people do.
And so that's what he's reacting to.
The meanwhile, octogenarian art critic Anthony Haydenguest, who appeared to have been sleeping happily for most of the dinner, was roused by the abrupt rupus.
And he suddenly opened his eyes and announced his longtime pal, calling him a miserable blob.
Shut up, he said.
And so then it went downhill from there.
He says, I was not asleep, I was just thinking, he said.
And he said, I was the one who asked the question about the environment.
This shirt continued to scream wildly about the climate change scam, while Hayden Guest peppered him with verbal volleys from across the table, calling him variously insane and insignificant.
Meanwhile, Kennedy watched calmly...
He's up there on the dais having to watch these two guys yelling and screaming at each other.
Then it gets worse. Here it seems, Deschert sensed the need for a new rhetorical tact and let rip a loud, prolonged fart while yelling as if to underscore the point, I'm farting.
Now, this guy has not watched my program when I talk about unicorn farts being the basis of the climate scam.
But obviously a fellow traveler, even if I don't endorse his methods here.
The room, which included a handful of journalists as well as Kennedy's campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich, And so this goes back and forth.
But yeah, this is what has happened to political debate in our country.
And of course, many people are talking about what it takes to get into The Republican debate, how many people qualified for it.
By the way, if you want to make a little bit of money, the North Dakota governor, I don't even remember his name, Burgum or something like that.
One of the ways that you get into the debate is you have to have a certain number of contributors, right?
I think the number is 40,000.
But he has decided that he wants to get 50,000 contributors.
And so he has put together, he calls it, a way for people to be able to deal with Biden's inflation.
But the bottom line is, is that if he can get you recorded as a donor, you can send him, you look this up if you want to make a little bit of money.
It sounds like a typical political scheme, doesn't it?
But usually from Democrats. You give him a dollar and he'll give you a $20 gift card.
So there you go. You can make some money off of this.
All you have to do is give up your personal information for that.
But he wants to do that with 50,000 people.
So he's going to He's going to put out a million dollars.
And you stop and think, whoa, a million dollars of that.
But that's actually pretty cheap, considering how much money these guys spend on marketing.
And he knows that that money is going to go directly.
If he were to spend a million dollars on ads, he doesn't know if that's going to get him 50,000 donors so that he can get into the debate.
But if he puts a million dollars out there with this scheme, he can get there.
So, look, I'm in favor of anybody being able to get into the debate.
That's a serious candidate.
He certainly is a serious candidate.
He's been a governor. I don't know what his policies are.
I don't know anything about him.
North Dakota is a state where they have the only state bank.
So, you know, ask him about that vis-a-vis the CBDCs.
But I'm in favor of anybody being able to talk about this stuff.
We ought to have an open political process.
It's one of the things I hate about the control of the ballot and the control of the debates.
And I've said this from the very beginning.
You want to get upset about rigged elections?
Do you understand the elections are rigged from the very beginning?
They use this two-party system to control who even gets to...
Talk to people. They've made it impossible for third parties or for independent candidates to actually get on the ballot and get into the debates.
That's where the corruption really starts.
And that's a big step right there.
And so he's doing that.
And I think if you look at this...
If he's bribing people to get donors, he certainly does understand how Washington works, right?
So you've got to give him some credit for that.
I mean, he's being upfront about it.
The White House, meanwhile, they have shut down, Secret Service has shut down this investigation of the cocaine.
It turns out that no fingerprints on the cocaine.
They've dusted the cocaine and they cannot find any fingerprints.
Right? Well, they're saying that they can't find any DNA, they can't find any fingerprints on the baggie or anything else like that, right?
Yeah. Okay, well, that should be easy.
Take a look at all your video cameras everywhere and see who was wearing gloves.
They got into there.
Come on. We all know what a fraud this is.
It's just corruption on top of corruption.
These people say this stuff with a straight face.
Yeah, you might as well tell people that he dusted the cocaine for Prince.
That's just about as believable.
Manchin, as I said before, Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia, who's a Democrat, is headed to New Hampshire to speak at a town hall that's being run by a group called No Labels.
He wants to run as a third-party presidential slate, perhaps, in 2024.
He is the most vulnerable senator facing re-election, so hey, why not?
Maybe if he raises some money, he can start sending us $20 in exchange for $1 or something like that.
He'll speak next week in an early voting state, New Hampshire, at an event sponsored by a group that is organizing to get a third-party presidential ticket on the ballot in all 50 states.
Well, good luck with that.
And, you know, what does this person stand for?
Do they care? I mean, they just want to have a third party out there.
No Labels is an organization that says that it advocates for bipartisanship and political consensus.
Well, first of all, there's nothing sacred about having two political parties.
Why do we even care about that?
Get rid of all parties.
That's what the founders wanted. He's taking steps to try to enter into the presidential race next year.
Former Senator Joe Lieberman, a founding chairman of the group, said earlier this year that the aim of the effort was to make a statement about partisanship of the two-party system and to ensure that Trump doesn't become president again.
So he is going there to former Michigan Representative Fred Upton, It was Republican, I believe.
Said in a recent interview on CBS, no labels is working to get on the ballot in all 50 states by the end of the first quarter of next year.
Well, good luck with that. That's a really big task.
And I know because I watched the Libertarian Party try to do it, and they did achieve it several years.
Biden's approval is getting at the lowest point it's been in his presidency, though.
And again, many people are questioning what they're doing.
Mika Brzezinski is even blasting Biden's staff.
She says, you're making him look old.
Well, if Mika wants to help, she can give them the information about who does her plastic surgery.
And maybe that will help.
Actually, Biden's had quite a bit of that in his lifetime, I think.
Before we break and establish contact with Gerald on Rockfin, thank you very much for the tip, Little Ford Schoolhouse.
David, when the story changes, so do the facts.
Please keep our family in your prayers, as Michael will be having surgery again on Monday.
We hope this one goes better.
Having gone through this experience so far, my husband and I have seen firsthand how incentivized and corrupt the medical community is.
You couldn't make any of it up.
Thank you for your consistency.
Well, we'll keep you in prayers.
And by the way, the interview that I did this week, talking to the former Feds group, Take a look at that bracelet.
You've got somebody that's going in the hospital again for an operation.
Take a look at that.
Now, that's very important because maybe it's subsided a little bit now, but, you know, who knows?
Medical emergency bracelet that's there, you know, once you put that there, tell them they can't give you certain treatments.
Which they are still, I think, being highly financially incentivized for this type of thing.
So take a look into that, but we will certainly keep you in our prayers, and I hope that that is a successful operation and that they don't cause any damage.
We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Music The common man.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

Gerald Salenti, Trends Journal, and you can find it at trendsjournal.com.
One of the best publications out there, always spotting these trends way in advance.
I mean, what they were talking about, you know, from dirty cash to digital trash, talking about how they're...
You know, trying to push us away from cash into CBDCs years ago as this stuff was all breaking.
Or what we see with the unfolding commercial real estate crash that is there.
But always at the forefront of this, joining us now is Gerald Slinty.
Thank you for joining us, Gerald. Oh, thank you.
You know, talking about the commercial real estate, it's just making the news now.
Yeah. And we forecast this would happen when they launched the COVID war.
And the geeks, the little geeky freaks, they were the first ones to lock down.
And that arrogant little boy, that daddy's boy with a bad attitude, that guy, gruesome newsome over there.
My daddy was a top lawyer for the Gettys, you know, that guy.
Yeah. Yeah. California was the first one to close down, and San Francisco is getting hit the hardest.
They have a vacancy rate, an office vacancy rate of 30%.
One place after another closing down, one store after another.
The place is a zoo.
Because it was the geeks that were the first ones to tell everybody to go home.
Don't come to work.
You'll die if you come to work.
COVID will kill you.
And they profited from it because everybody started buying things from home, shopping from home, taking restaurants from, you know, buying everything from home so their businesses really boomed.
So, we said there's going to be, at that time, a commercial office building bust.
Absolutely no coverage at all.
It is only making the news now.
This is a headline story.
Office buildings around the world could suffer an $800 billion wipeout as work-from-home trend persists.
You ready? That's according to McKinsey Global Institute.
Well, hell, if McKinsey said it three and a half years after we said it, it must be true.
But if Salenti says it, we hate that little guinea-wop.
He ain't a boy that fits into the club.
He's just a little piece of crap from the Bronx.
What the hell does he know?
That's the way I'm treated by the media.
Oh, Italian lives don't matter?
I am blacklisted because of who I am and what I say.
If I was black or if I was Solentowicz, oh boy, my information would be out there.
But I'm only a little what?
From the Bronx. Today blacklist everything that I say.
I've been hitting these trends like nobody else.
Here, my books.
Trends 2000, International Best Seller.
What the hell do I know?
Trend Tracking, Far Better Than Megatrends, Time Magazine.
Oh, the only guy in the world that teaches trends?
Don't teach it at Harvard.
Don't teach it at Yale.
Don't teach it at Princeton.
Don't teach it at Cambridge.
You know why? They don't know how to.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, that's why I brought that up, because you've been talking about this for three years.
Three years. Because they started locking that down.
I'm telling you, I am blacklisted.
Yeah. And I know why they did it.
If my name was Solentowicz, oh, oh, I'd be great.
That's right. My son says we need to come up with a new definition of BLM. Blacklisted lives matter.
But, you know, they came after you because of what you said about the Iraq War.
And now everybody knows the Iraq War was based on a lie.
But, you know, we're not going to go back and undo any of the penalties for the people that we came after for that.
And even though Trump said it was a lie, he promoted the liar to the head of the CIA. That's the amazing thing about all this stuff.
And you who told the truth, they keep blacklisting you with this stuff.
But yeah, you've been talking about these things for, you know, three years because you could see where this is headed.
And you talk about San Francisco.
What a place that has become.
Where Gavin Newsom was mayor before he became governor.
You've got roving bands of kids now attacking with baseball bats, moms pushing babies in strollers in San Francisco.
I mean, this is the level of societal collapse that we see in San Francisco.
They really are the leading edge of this stuff in every way, not just in the financial stuff, but in the moral stuff and the drug addicts and Trank on the streets.
They got self-driving cars are freaking out and clogging up the roads.
And people are putting cones on the self-driving cars to stop them from moving.
And it's just crazy.
The place is a circus.
It's a circus.
That arrogant Gavin Newsom, that little clown boy, the guy that closed down everything's California was the first state to close down.
As he's going up to the French Laundry, where it's like almost $400 or $500 a dinner for each person, as he's telling everybody to stay home.
Oh, that Gavin Newsom, that little arrogant boy, an arrogant, arrogant little boy.
They're all arrogant.
That's right. It's a clown show.
It's a freak show.
And the morons and imbeciles bow down and take the crap spewing out of the mouths of these jerks.
Look at that guy, Chris Christie, that fat slobby boy, saying we got to keep sending in more and more money to go fight the Ukraine war.
That little fat slob couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.
Anybody that wants to go support the war in Ukraine, put on your military drag.
Go over there, go fight, and you take your money, not mine, to bring over there or shut your mouth.
Yeah. And it looks like this last week, as we saw this little NATO summit, and Zelensky was spouting off on social media about, oh, they're not letting us into NATO yet, and all this kind of stuff.
And Ben Wallace, who is the defense minister there in the UK, looks like he's had about as much of this guy as he can stand.
And this is a guy who, at the very beginning of this, as I remember correctly, it was Ben Wallace, I think, He was saying that, you know, LGBT values are our core values, and it's one of the things that we're fighting for, you know, with his pride flag and all the rest of this stuff.
But now, you know, he had some harsh words to say.
Yeah, harsh words to say, but read the rest of what he said.
Oh, yeah, yeah, he wants to escalate, but I thought it was funny when we said we're not your Amazon service, right?
So, yeah. Not only that, not only that, that this Ukraine war, we're all at risk.
Yes. Yes, that's right.
No, we're not. That's right.
That's what he said. You're a little lying piece of garbage scum.
Yeah. We're not at risk.
You are putting us at risk by ramping up this war that we have no business being in.
Yeah. Hey. Maybe you're too damn stupid to read the Trends Journal back in the spring of 2014 when the United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych.
Wallace, crap!
That's right. That's right.
Oh, oh. Oh.
Article written by Dr.
Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan.
Washington is driving the world to the final war.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
14 years, back in 2014.
People have no clue about Ukraine, what's going on.
Again, they have no clue.
No clue. That's right.
Yeah, driving us into a world war, but in the meanwhile, you know, it's...
Paul Craig Roberts would also notice we were destroying our financial system at the very least.
And, you know, he certainly understands that as well.
Biden is bragging about all this stuff, you know, saying, well, you need to show a little bit of gratitude.
We've given more money to you than all the other nations combined.
We didn't decide on that.
Where did we have a vote about doing that?
Do you remember when we had that vote about doing that?
This is Biden's war that he's escalating here.
But it is interesting to see the petulance of this little guy and the fact that he is demanding, because he knows that if they get put into NATO, that we'd be instantly at war with Russia.
But he doesn't care about that because he's demanded over and over again that even nuclear weapons be used.
I mean, this guy is a little megalomaniac, if ever there was one.
Look who the guy was.
Yeah. And he still is.
Yeah, comedian. He was a top comedian in a sitcom, and anybody could look it up, but Zelensky plays piano with his penis.
Yeah. And there he is.
The guy was a comedian brought to you by this oligarch.
It was a whole show.
Yeah. And then when he ran for president, he promised peace.
Yes. With Russia. Yes.
He never did a debate with anybody.
It was a whole show.
Yep. Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, that's one of the reasons why that reporter in Ukraine was so amazed when his representative to the peace talks, they were elected, as you said, on a platform of peace.
And so she gets Alexander Restovich in to talk to him and said, okay, you're representing us for peace.
Because, you know, they kicked off a civil war.
They started showing these civilian areas.
What are the prospects? Yeah, it's not going to happen.
But he said in 2019, he said, but in three years we're going to be at war with Russia.
Oh, that's horrible, she said. He said, no.
The good news is we get into NATO. That has always been the only thing that they care about.
And they're willing...
to destroy everybody in their country for that purpose and just as our leaders and all of the countries around the world as we saw during this lockdown of COVID and as we see now with the climate stuff they're willing to destroy their countries and their own people so they can get into the club.
Whether it's the World Economic Forum or Bilderberg or the UN or whatever, this club that they're building, the actual club may not actually be formally in existence now, but we know what the club is.
These guys all hang around together.
But so they can get into the club, they will do anything and everything to their own people, just as you see Zelensky.
So it's really in a nutshell, really, what all these people are doing to us, isn't it?
A nutshell, a bunch of nuts in a shell that are running and ruining our lives.
That's the club.
And you talked about before San Francisco and the crime going on.
We warned this would happen when they locked down everybody.
Again, it's in your trends journal going back to March of 2020.
Yes. One of my lines was, when all else fails, when people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.
Yeah. And that's what happened.
That's right. And it's everywhere.
It's everywhere. Life has changed with COVID. Three things in my life have changed everything.
One, after the Vietnam War.
Mm-hmm.
Sperm can't go into the bloodstream.
That's why the gays were dying from it.
And again, I'm a New York guy.
It was wild as could be back in the 70s when the whole thing broke loose.
Number two, drug people, people were addicted.
Numbers are there.
That lying Fauci gave us the AIDS scare.
The second thing that killed the country was the war on terror.
They robbed us of our rights, brought us Homeland Security, all this stupid...
Hey, hasn't Homeland Security done a great job lately, by the way?
Oh, isn't it fun to fly now as they feel you up to see if you got any weapons on you, making up the shoe bomber crap and the other stuff?
Oh, it's great.
Yeah. Yeah. And the third thing is the COVID war.
Those three things have destroyed America in my lifetime more than anything.
Absolutely. And the damage done by...
Again, I write a magazine.
I put the facts in there.
Oh, what's going on in the schools?
Oh, the kids are failing.
Their grades are way down.
They can't pass tests.
Oh, you mean you got to stay home?
You can't go to school?
Because COVID doesn't kill young people.
Oh, don't believe me? How about the CDC numbers?
About 2,000 people between the ages of 1 to 17...
Out of 73 million Americans died of COVID. In two years.
You mean 2,000 out of 74 million?
Oh yeah, but if we only save one life.
Get the hell out of here. What are you talking about?
Oh, how about the CDC number?
61% of those 1 to 17 year olds that were hospitalized were suffering from obesity.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
And the other part of it is, I talked to somebody this week, a group that's in New Jersey, and they're putting up billboards.
Did your relative die of COVID? Are you sure?
It's a group called Former Feds, and they're pointing out it was this hospital protocol of death.
Remdesivir, the ventilators and other things like that.
They were blaming that on COVID, and they're very active in terms of putting together a cold case database for future prosecutions and also getting people's stories out there, but trying to get people aware of what was really happening in the early stages. but trying to get people aware of what was really And, you know, when we saw this in the early stages, it didn't look like a pandemic or even an epidemic.
It looked like an actuarial table because of the ages of the people who were dying.
But they have now changed that with a vaccine.
So, you know, that's the real epidemic, that vaccine that's going on.
But it's interesting, Gerald, when you talk about that, going back to Fauci's first rodeo there with AIDS, and Kerry Mullis, who...
He said, you can't prove that HIV causes AIDS. You can't use my PCR test to do that.
And of course, he died just a few months before they kicked this whole thing off.
He was pushing back against Fauci all the time.
Even though he'd won a Nobel prize, they ostracized him.
They blacklisted him for that kind of stuff.
And we look at what happened with nine 11, the Patriot act and all this other, uh, this is the second shoe.
You know, that thing happened right at the same time, started practicing that stuff.
And they practiced it for two decades.
They had model legislation that was sent out, uh, based on that and the false flag attack of anthrax, but they even ran the, the first germ game just before nine 11, this These things are all tied together in the same sense that when you were talking about Gavin Newsom and how he's eating his $400 meals while he's telling everybody else you can't go to a restaurant.
That's the same type of tactic that we see with the climate MacGuffins.
Oh, you're not going to be able to travel, but I'll have my private jet.
You're not going to have a car, but I'll have my hypercar that I'm going to have out here, whatever.
I mean, it's always the same thing from these people.
And they always have the same endgame that they're looking for.
Total population control, reducing the number of us, and then giving the people who remain a number so they can track and control us.
Look at all of these multi-millionaires and billionaires.
They don't give a penny for peace.
Yeah. You're talking about how they're control freaks.
Guess what? If I wouldn't want one penny of Soros' money if I had to look like him, what you're going to all rot in hell for the crap that you did in your life and gave nothing back to humanity.
That's right. You think all you guys, you think you're so great with all your money and all your power.
Go to hell because you're on the fast trip to it.
They'll all go to hell.
And here, I mentioned before, again, I only write facts, by the way.
If you're afraid of freedom of speech, if you're too stupid to think for yourself, you'll hate the Trends Journal because it's the truth in trends.
We only put the truth down.
We put the facts. So here is an example.
This is from the toilet paper of record, the New York Times, this week.
Despite billions of federal dollars spent to help Make up for pandemic-related learning loss.
Progress in reading and math stalled over the past school year for elementary and middle school students, according to a new study released on Tuesday.
The headline, pandemic era learning gaps are not closing.
No, not pandemic era learning gaps.
Political freaks and scum bureaucrats and arrogant, stupid, moronic head of the teachers union caused it.
That's right. Not the pandemic.
The pandemic was not a pandemic.
The name was made up by the World Trade Health Organization in March of 2020, when less than 10,000 people out of 8 billion allegedly died of the virus.
Keyword is allegedly.
But they're all blaming it on the pandemic and not the scum that did it.
That's right. It wasn't a pandemic.
It was moronic, arrogant, narcissistic, power-hungry freaks.
That's right. Yeah.
And the key word there is allegedly died.
That's the key thing.
Absolutely from the very beginning.
And you and I have talked about this.
It was an update to this. You know, the fact that the CARES Act and the PPP stuff that Trump did and Biden did, continued it and expanded it.
You know, the very beginning of this, there's so much fraud.
And then, of course, you know, oh, this is going to be to help small businesses.
But 5% of the recipients got more than 50% of the money.
But we had a guy who's now gone public with this.
He was a CEO for an information thing.
It's like Nexus Lexus or something like that.
But anyway, it's about, you know, picking up fraud.
And he said, as soon as I saw this...
He said, I knew that they were going to rush this cash out to people.
They weren't going to do it the right way. He said, I tried to get on the phone to anybody that I could in the Trump administration.
And he said...
They wouldn't listen to him.
He got a call back, I can't remember now, the economic guy that was in, used to be on Fox News, and he's gone back to Fox News now.
But anyway, he called him and talked to him, and then he gave him the number of some other people and said, oh, there's no fraud in this.
He goes, well, you haven't even started paying anybody yet.
But anyway, bottom line, Gerald, is that he estimates at about a trillion dollars worth of fraud.
Now, other people have smaller estimates, but he's looking at really only about 20% of this stuff being misallocated and fraud.
That's a very conservative estimate, but the other people are much more conservative.
But a trillion dollars of money just given away in fraud because they weren't verifying anybody's identities about any of this stuff.
This is everything about this.
Again, they rushed this stuff out just like they rushed out the vaccine.
They rushed out the program.
They're rushing out the alternative replacements, which don't work and can't be put in place regardless of whether they worked or not sufficiently in time.
They're rushing to shut down our power on our grids.
Everything is rush, rush, rush.
We don't have any time because they're getting close to their 2030 deadline.
And everything is busting because that's their plan, isn't it?
Their plan is to take everything back.
These are dumb, arrogant freaks.
I was in the system.
Remember, I was the assistant, the executive assistant to the guy that ran the New York State Senate, Al Abrams.
I was on the inside.
The people that are in government, these are people that can't get a job in the real world and suck into the political system.
The politicians and the people I hated in high school and college that wanted to be class president were head of the student council.
Yeah, I know.
I was there too. I talked about that this week.
I said, you know, we had our student government was taken over by the Black Student Union and the Gay Coalition.
And then they engaged in criminal fraud because they were activists.
They got in there and they knew that they could get access to the student fees and that nobody was really going to push back against them.
And I've watched the same type of scam.
That's been pushed all my life, from college on.
It is amazing, isn't it?
It is. So we've got a bunch of arrogant, stupid people.
Yeah. This article, and again, the one about pandemic-era learning gap, the New York Times, they go on to write, the question for educators and federal officials is how to address the four-month gap.
Federal officials?
Official pieces of jerk.
How about educators?
Educators? You're brainwashers.
You're little losers with bad attitudes.
Oh, they're going to fix it.
The ones that created it are going to fix it.
This is the stupidity that they keep putting out there.
And again... In fact, students in most grades showed slower than average growth in math and reading when compared with students before the pandemic.
Nope, not before the pandemic.
Before the arrogant little pieces of scum crap locked down society.
Oh, stand six feet apart.
Oh, remember the videos of the kids playing intense instruments?
Remember that one? Yeah.
Yeah. Wind instruments.
And of course, you know, it's got to come out somewhere, right?
The music goes round and round and it comes out over here.
What a ridiculous thing to think that you're going to stop that if it was real.
But of course, this is a cootie pandemic.
And put the desk six feet apart.
The same thing when you go in a restaurant, ask me six feet apart.
Because the wind blows in direct straight lines, six feet apart.
I am the bureaucratic piece of crap that tells you what to do.
The wind does not go up or down or around.
So you put a plastic shield in front of your cash register?
Look at the stupid crap they used to make on me.
When you're in an airplane, you must wear the mask.
But when you eat and drink, you can take it off because the virus knows when you're eating and drinking.
Yeah. And it won't bother you.
But as soon as you stop, you put that mask back on.
And if you don't, we will get you arrested.
Yeah. That's right.
Yeah, there's a commercial. There's a commercial that's put out.
Fighting wars in Ukraine, you scum, as you're robbers of our freedom.
That's right. Yeah, there was a commercial that was put out by the DeSantis campaign by his wife doing the narration.
And they began with that stuff.
They showed a mom getting arrested with her kids.
Well, they arrested her, just left the kids on the playground.
You know, remember that, right?
And another one where the mother's got the baby with a mask on its face and it's crying and she's trying to hold the mask on its face so they could fly in a plane and all the rest of this stuff.
I mean, that's a key thing.
It's important for politicians to tap into that.
It's important for us to remember that and how that came through.
And, you know, that was the theme of it.
Never again. I thought it was a powerful commercial.
And, you know, but that's – people don't understand that it's not over.
You know, it is just laying dormant in all of the – Supposed authority and justification for this stuff that they pretended to have.
Nothing has been done to take that away.
And it's just waiting there to be reestablished.
And of course, the next time, it's not going to be by Fauci.
It's going to be by some World Health Organization official who pronounces that your country has now got the cooties and everything needs to be taken away from everybody.
Everybody needs to be put in jail.
That's what they're doing. They're going to just take it up to the next level.
I remember the clown woman up in the plane.
Again, they were stupid bureaucrats.
All these clowns, you saw them all the time.
Don't have any sex.
Remember that one? Yeah.
Yeah, well, you got Matt Hancock laughing about that and his rules for everybody else while he's having an adulterous affair with somebody.
I mean, it's just... All of it was just...
You've got to break his name into two words.
Hancock. Yeah.
Yeah, all of this stuff is just so reprehensible.
People... We're starting to get an idea about what is happening, and I was glad to see that group start to focus on the hospital aspect of it, because that's something really hasn't been focused that much on.
People are starting to wake up and have been waking up more and more to what's going on with the vaccines, even though they continue to shut that thing down.
But what really hasn't been talked about for a great deal It's the hospital thing, and it's important for people to understand that because that was really where the first year's deaths were coming from, even though they were being misattributed.
It was all this hospital stuff.
I've always called it financially incentivized medical malpractice because that's what it was.
And that's the amazing thing to me is the cynicism about it, the murder-for-hire aspect of it.
If the government pays me enough money, I will do this to people, and I really don't care.
We've got hospital systems that have been taken over by big corporations and they don't care.
And so certainly they will kill us in a war scenario.
Since we last talked, all this cluster bomb stuff has come up.
It's just... You know, when you go back and you look at that, a couple of amazing things about it, besides the admission that we're running out of ammunition.
Isn't that interesting? But also the fact that this is just going to poison the land for the people there in Ukraine, and they're going to give it to the Ukrainian government, and the Ukrainian government is going to blast these long-lasting, you know, cluster bombs out there.
They're going to be killing civilians for decades to come.
I think it was a Cambodian official said, don't do this to your country.
People are still getting blown up in Cambodia.
That's right. That's right. Yeah.
And think about America, right?
Bringing freedom and democracy around the world.
Oh, the America that killed how many hundreds of thousands of Japanese with the atom bomb?
Yeah. Oh, the America that did a great job with napalm and Agent Orange in Vietnam?
Oh, that America with the cluster bombs?
Yeah. Those dirty Russians, I'll tell you, we gotta do anything we can to stop them.
I mean, here, this is that clown Biden.
A little draft dodging, arrogant, out of his mind, piece of scum, who we call our president.
Not a war that he didn't love.
And again, look at the video with my friend Scott Ritter, when Ritter was telling Biden that there were no weapons of mass destruction, and Ritter was the top guy in the UN that was the weapons inspector, and how Biden goes after him and denounces him.
Yeah, that Biden? Yeah.
This is from the toilet paper record headline yesterday.
Biden braces NATO for slog against Russia.
This, I'm not making it up.
Slog? Yeah.
A slob. What slob wrote slog?
Who's this boy? Quagmire.
I guess there's too many letters.
Oh, this David Sanger.
He has a great track record of being a real prostitute.
A little arrogant boy.
You ready? Mm-hmm. Here.
Here goes Biden. President Biden concluded a meeting in NATO allies on Wednesday with an address saying that the world is comparing the battle to expel Russia from Ukraine with the Cold War struggle for the freedom of Europe.
No, it's not. It has nothing to do with that.
But he goes on promising, you ready?
Quote, we will not Waiver, no matter how long the war continues.
Hey, Biden, send your drug-addicted kid over there to the front lines to go fight, and you go with him.
Yeah. And all you clown politicians that keep stealing my money to get to Ukraine, go over there and fight, or shut your mouth and take your money and go give it to them.
Yeah. It goes on.
After all of this time, Putin still doubts our staying power.
He is making a bad bet.
Oh, our staying power?
You mean staying in Afghanistan for 20 years?
Yeah. The staying power when you took us out of Afghanistan, the disaster you created, Biden?
Oh, but everybody forgot that because then they started, oh, we got to fight Russia.
And everybody forgot about the disastrous withdrawal of Afghanistan by Biden.
Oh, we're going to stay there forever, like in Iraq, like in Vietnam?
And it wasn't even a withdrawal.
They were thrown out, essentially, right?
I mean, they didn't decide that they were going to leave.
They had to leave. And they left in disorder.
You know, you talk about that slog.
I think that was there because you couldn't spell quagmire, maybe.
Here, you ready? You can't make this up.
Mr. Biden framed Russia's invasion of Ukraine as part of a global challenge.
It's not a global challenge.
It's been going on between these two countries for how many?
300 years? Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. All right? As part of a global challenge, you ready?
Facing democratic societies.
Democratic societies.
Close down your business.
Stay home. Yeah.
Oh, and I love this.
We just had the 4th of July Independence Day.
What Independence Day?
If you don't swallow government crap That's called misinformation.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. You read these quotes, they are disgusting, and people swallow it.
Yep. He said the world was at an inflection point.
Where it must choose between democracy and autocracy.
You can't make this crap up unless you're a warmongering piece of scum like Biden, like Bush, like Obama, like Clinton, like Nixon, like LBJ. Yep.
Yep. Remember the book Wars a Racket by Smedley Butler?
Yeah. Most decorated Marine in history when he wrote it back in the 1930s.
It's a racket. Yes.
And they sell it with the bull crap line of choosing between democracy and autocracy.
Yeah, we're the oilcrats.
You got to choose our side.
Yeah, that's amazing.
You know, it's talking about the...
Autocracy. As he's talking about democracy, they're getting ready to roll out central bank digital currencies and to try to reassure people that it's not what we all know it is.
The European Commission on Central Bank Digital Currency says, this is not a Big Brother project.
If ever there was a Big Brother project, this is it.
This is the ultimate in Big Brother projects.
So the person who grabbed this headline said, yeah, Otto von Bismarck, who made a lot of interesting observations about government, said, you don't know that something is absolutely true until the government does a categorical denial of it.
It is absolutely true.
So it is absolutely true that this is a Big Brother project.
Perfectly said. Yeah.
Again, you go back to our cut.
We've been writing about this since 2014.
Since 2014, that's how long they've been warning about this.
Matter of fact, in this week's Trends Journal, we have all the back articles we've been writing about this.
And then in 2020, in March, the cover of the magazine one week was, From dirty cash to digital trash.
And that's when they started really promoting it heavily.
You don't want to touch that dirty money.
We're going to go digital.
That's how they started selling it.
Remember, you had to sanitize your hands, everything that you touched, even though you didn't get the virus by touching things.
So the reason they're doing it is very simple.
They could steal every penny they can from us in the name of taxes because these scum politicians never work a day in their life.
All they do is suck off the public boob.
They don't never work.
They want all our money.
So they know every penny you spent, where you spent it, what you spent it on.
So they have more and more control of our lives.
And the bigs know all the data so they can keep taking more control of our lives and what to buy, what to sell, how to sell it, and what to do with it.
That's all it is.
That's right.
It's kind of interesting when she talked about this as a...
Their finance commissioner, McGinnis, said supporters, we want to make sure that the currency in the European Central Bank remain relevant in a digital economy where cryptocurrencies circulate and big tech companies dream of printing their own money.
But we talk about projection, right?
These are the central banks that do fiat currency.
And there isn't anybody who's printing their own money.
They want to institute their proof-of-stake You know, that's the whole thing about these cryptocurrencies, that they're proof of work.
I mean, they just turn everything upside down and inside out in order to lie to people.
And then they tack on, of course, as they always do, critics fear that it'll give government a way to snoop on buying behavior.
And conspiracy theorists portray the digital euro as a covert plan to phase out cash and monitor people's shopping habits.
That's exactly what it is.
They've even said that themselves.
And of course, you know, one of these officials was caught by some Russian comedians who were pretending to be Zelensky.
And she said, yeah, you know, some of these people have cash, but we're going to make sure that it's kind of a gray market area, but we're going to shut that thing down.
Everybody knows it's to phase out cash, to shut down cryptocurrencies and everything, but they will say just the opposite.
And they expect that people are going to believe this.
It's just absolutely amazing.
And they can do this because of their control.
Over information, you know, pushing out their propaganda and shutting down people who point out the truth.
It's just amazing. Yep.
And again, you know, the language that you called her a finance minister.
Look at a minister. Look at the officials.
The official pieces of crap.
The finance minister.
It's like, oh, it's like I'm the king, you know, and I'm the prince.
Oh, you mean you come from that long line of crime syndicates that killed millions of people all over the world to steal money and you call it nobility?
I'm the king.
Oh, like that king clown over there.
I think it was in the Netherlands.
Yeah. Yeah, saying how, oh, they're so sorry for the slavery that they induced, and we are apologizing for it.
Yeah, come from, and as king, he says, as king, you come from a crime syndicate.
Yeah. King. Here, king.
Here, boy, sit. Here, poor king.
What are you, a king?
And they keep throwing these labels.
Look what happens. Every time these presidents and prime ministers go anywhere, they roll out the red carpet.
You look at Biden when he went over to the UK. These guys dressed up in his stupid drag outfits, all saluting with those stupid hats on.
How could you get dressed up like that?
And then Biden was lost.
He basically had to use Charles as a guide dog.
But this guy, the Netherlands you're talking about, the king, they just had an election where they, you know, voted out or the government of Mark Rutte, this puppet of Davos, failed, right?
And so the king had to come back from his vacation to accept the resignation.
That's the tough job of being a king, isn't it?
The king. And again, the language that they use, so they make us subservient.
Yeah. Again, you're brainwashed in school.
You know, my father, may he rest in peace, I get upset as I started learning stuff.
He said to me, son, take it easy.
People have little mind.
Think about it. I'm a Yankee doodle dandy, a Yankee doodle do or die.
Do or die getting involved in World War I, a war we had no business being in?
Yeah. That's right.
Well, they call themselves ministers, and of course, you know, minister implies that they're servants, they're public servants.
But what they don't tell you is that they're not serving the public.
They don't tell you who they're ministering to.
But of course we can read between the lines and we certainly understand what is happening with this stuff.
That's just the amazing thing to me that, as you point out, the king of the Netherlands is making a big apology about slavery.
And yet at the same time, he and his government are working very hard to enslave the Dutch people right there.
Take away their food, put them in a big city, you know, this massive city that's going to, you know, get everybody off the land and force everybody into the city.
It's a massive program of slavery.
That's why they want everybody talking about, you know, what happened 150, 200, 300 years ago, because they're working on enslaving you right now in a kind of slavery that humanity has never seen before.
Yeah, and then the crap spirit of, I apologize.
What do you apologize? What the hell are you talking to?
Oh, and by the way, this is the same Dutch that are ruining all the farmers.
Is that the same place? Oh, yeah.
They're shutting down all the farms?
Yeah, yeah. Forcing them and saying, you know, well, here, we'll give you a little bit of money.
They're not giving them that much money for their farms.
And then you will in turn pledge that you will never farm again anywhere and that you will not turn this over for farming.
You're going to have to just shut this thing down.
And it's over nitrogen.
Now they've got a different gas that they want to focus on.
It's always something. Hey, but those cluster bombs are fine.
All the bombs going off in Ukraine, they're great.
They don't poison the air at all.
Oh, and how about all those forever chemicals?
Aren't they wonderful?
They're forever everywhere.
Half the water supply in America, poison with forever chemicals.
Oh, you're worried about climate change?
How about you like those GMOs?
I know, you love all those pesticides that are sprayed on everything.
They're great for you.
How about all those artificial colors, artificial flavors, ultra-processed food?
It's great for you.
That's right, yeah. Oh, you see who just came out with the aspartame story?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
All right, so here's the deal.
Back in the 70s, I was the number two guy running a major trade association at 30 years old.
I was also the chief government affairs specialist for a big segment of the chemical industry.
I was on the other side.
I was killing environmental legislation at the height of the environmental movement.
All I want to do is make money and have a good time.
So I started growing up, of course, in that.
But I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
Anyway, I'm going to the late 70s.
I'll never forget it.
I'm reading the Federal Register about aspartame.
Everybody knew it was deadly back then.
Everybody knew it.
And I remember how the big corporations pushed it through.
And again, I know how easy it was because I was doing it as well.
Killing anything that the people that we represented didn't want to happen.
So now...
Aspartame comes out like 1980, 81.
How many years is that?
Yeah. 40, 43, 42?
Yeah. Yeah. They knew it back then.
Wow. I was there.
At 28 years old, I was staying at the Willard Hotel.
That's where Mark Twain used to go.
Beautiful. And putting my meetings on at the Hay Adams, the top lobbyist place in D.C. Again, I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
I've been with presidents, prime ministers, and princes.
I know what the deal is.
And it's a crime syndicate.
And they're the most arrogant, narcissistic, pathological lying freaks that you can imagine that are running and ruining our lives.
And again, you mentioned the language that they use.
This is from the toilet paper record as well.
And this is from yesterday.
You ready? Mm-hmm.
Far-right Republicans seek to defund Ukraine.
Yeah. Far-right?
Why are you using language in there?
How about saying Republicans want to defund Ukraine?
No, you've got to put a label on them.
Yeah, the editorial lies everywhere.
If it's far-right, how about far-left?
Where are the far-left?
They're left out of peace?
The AOCs and the FUCs and all of those.
The fat-mouthed, slobby, arrogant, warmongering clown that says he's a piece.
Bernie Sanders, a little piece of garbage that never worked a day in his life.
Has been sucking off the public boob.
Where's the far left?
Not a peep about peace.
And you ready? Mm-hmm.
This is, again, from the New York Times.
The article I read you about Biden races NATO for slog against Russia.
Here, way down here.
Not once in their public comments did NATO leaders discuss talks with Russia for a ceasefire or career-style armistice.
A silent recognition.
You ready? That Ukraine insists on retaking far more of its territory before negotiating.
And that Mr.
Putin has signaled No willingness to pull back.
Not a peep about peace.
That's right. Not a peep about peace.
And these lowlife scum prostitutes will not put anyone on that speaks about peace.
That's right. Yeah, you were talking about aspartame and how, you know, you saw that 40 years ago they knew.
There was a story that came out this week from Merck about some asthma medicine that is causing children to have suicide, commit suicide.
And they can't even get a black box label on it.
I mean, it was a big fight to get a black box label on the SSRIs.
And I talked to... The lady whose husband died and she began an organization to do that.
She eventually got it done, but she had to fight on that for years and years.
But this is over 25 years ago.
They've known that this medicine that's sold to people for asthma is causing kids to commit suicide.
And when they go back and look at this, Gerald, they find, of course, we know that...
The FDA didn't do any studies.
They just relied on what was handed to them by Merck.
I mean, these people, quote-unquote, do their own studies and hand this on.
What we saw with Warp Speed is something's been going on for a very, very long time with all of these drugs, isn't it?
Again, it's a crime syndicate.
Yeah. It's not a revolving door.
Look at the guy playing our defense contract, Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.
What was his last job? Yeah.
Sitting on the board of directors of Raytheon.
Yeah. That other clown guy, I forgot his name, under Biden, he went back to, he was on the FDA, went back into one of the big companies like Pfizer or something.
Yeah, both of Trump's FDA guys went right back in.
One of them went to Moderna, the other one went to Pfizer, you know?
Yeah. And look at the guy that was playing, the guy in the FDA that was against, you know, regulating the tobacco industry.
He got a job with, what, Philip Morris.
I mean, it's right there in front of your eyes.
Yeah. It's a crime syndicate that people call a government.
That's right. And looking at all of these things, whether we're talking about aspartame, we're talking about child suicides from an asthma medicine that they knew about.
It's in their documents as they go back and they look at it, which the FDA never bothered to look at it.
As we look at all this stuff, the bottom line is that they're willing to kill us for money.
Which is what's happening in Ukraine.
I mean, it's just the same game plan, just, you know, a little bit more in your face when they do it with bombs and when they do it with poison.
But they're not above poisoning the world, which is what they did with Operation Warp Speed.
And they're not above starting a world war with whatever weapons that they've got.
That's the key thing, too, about this cluster bomb stuff, right?
Is this escalation aspect of it.
But, of course, they say, well, Russia has been doing it for a while.
And they denounced it when Russia was doing it.
When Russia was doing it, it was a war crime, but now it's not a war crime anymore.
No, that saki. That piece of saki crap.
Yeah. That arrogant saki.
That was Biden's press secretary, right?
Yeah. That's what she said, right?
Yeah. Where is she working now?
Yeah. Where'd she go?
MSNBC. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. That's Stephanopoulos.
Where was he before?
Oh, the Clinton administration.
Oh, you're talking about prescription drugs?
It was Clinton that allowed the drug companies to do the advertising on TV. Yes.
Yes. The warmongering Clinton.
Every time he got caught with his pants down, bobs away over Baghdad.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
I just found this article.
I was cleaning up some stuff.
This is from this day in history, so it's establishment.
June 26, 1993.
President Clinton punishes Iraq for plot to kill George H.W. Bush.
1990, he just becomes president.
Clinton. Ready?
In retaliation for an Iraqi plot.
Oh, let's stop right there.
An Iraqi plot? You're making up a story.
There was never a plot. Yeah.
In retaliation for an Iraqi plot to assassinate former President George H.W. Bush during his April visit to Kuwait, President Bill Clinton ordered U.S. warships to fire Tomahawk Kriz missiles In a town in, you ready?
Downtown Baghdad.
Yeah. On April 13th, 1993, the day before George Bush was scheduled to visit Ukraine to be honored for his victory in the Persian Gulf War, Clinton,
23 Tomahawk missiles, each costing more than a million dollars, were fired off the USS Peterson and the USS Challengersville in the Persian Gulf, destroying buildings and killing several civilians.
I'll kill anybody I want!
I'll do anything I want!
I'm the president!
You're a murderer. If I kill seven civilians because of, quote, a plot that never happened, it electrocuted me.
And, of course, they brought that whole Iraqi plot line back, you know, right after 9-11.
They had the anthrax attacks, and they said, well, this is Iraqis.
And, of course, that was debunked.
Even the New York Times and Washington Post pointed out That they didn't have that kind of delivery ability.
And subsequent investigations showed that that level of sophistication in terms of delivery could only be done in two places in the U.S., two labs, and they were controlled and associated with the CIA, but they blamed somebody who worked at a different lab inside the government.
All of this stuff was there, Gerald, you know, and they have absolutely no problem Starving Iraqi kids to death, as we talked about many times.
Madeleine Albright, you killed half a million kids.
Was it worth it? Yeah, it was worth it.
And it's worth it to them to starve you as well.
It's worth it for them to shut down the farms and shut down the electricity, to lock us down with climate lockdowns or pandemic lockdowns or whatever they want to do.
It's all worth it to them to get what they want because you're nothing to them.
And they'll kill us just like they regard us as nothing more than cockroaches to be controlled or eradicated if possible.
And that's where these people are coming from.
Again, as I also say, where are all the religions?
Where they got locked? Where did the Quakers all go under an earthquake?
All you Quakers are for peace.
I don't see you out there.
Where are all the Catholic priests?
Are you screwing out little boys?
Maybe? I forgot. Where are the Baptists?
Where are the Episcopalians?
Where are the Muslims? Where are the Jews?
Where are the Seventh-day Adventists?
You waiting for the eighth day?
Where are you? What God?
Where's your God? Yet you keep preaching and taking money from the people for donations.
How come you're not out there preaching for peace?
How come you're all not uniting for peace?
That's right. Could you imagine if all the religions united and say, we've got to stop this, we need peace?
Oh, we'd have it in a minute.
Yeah. You're not godly loving people because if you were, there's no god that loves war.
Yeah, it's just hollowed out.
As I was saying earlier, there were this article that was done by Slate Magazine talking about all these grand church buildings everywhere.
And, you know, they're having to take them down or repurpose them or whatever because, you know, they've got this massive building and they've only got 10 or 12 people who go there.
They're all over 65. You know, it's just hollowed out and dead because long ago they kicked God out.
And it's just this hollow, you know, remnant, the skeleton, if you will, of what it used to be.
And, you know, when you go back and you look at our legal procedures and the Christian principles this country was founded on, we talk about a justified war.
That goes all the way back to Augustine.
And that's reflected in our law.
You know, you will have a vote and you will debate this and you don't go to war unless you were attacked.
That's it.
Even though we were, you know, trying to provoke the attack and even though FDR did anything he could to try to shut down our defenses for it, it was still an outrage.
When Japan did it, it was a day of infamy.
And yet, that's the way we have operated since World War II. We always do preemptive attacks and preemptive wars before we are attacked.
And we don't ever care about ending it.
That's another thing that's unjustified.
It's just like I've said many times.
Somebody breaks into your house, they grab your TV, they're running away, you can't shoot them in the back.
You've got to stop it when you're no longer under threat.
A war is there if you are being threatened, and yet these people go to war without being threatened, and then they threaten our lives with a war expansion, which is what we're looking at right now.
Again, FDR, there's another article in History Today, I don't know if I have it here, but here's one, here's a good quote.
Mankind must put an end to war.
Or war will put an end to mankind.
Yes, yes.
John F. Kennedy. Yes.
There's an article in History Today about how FDR put sanctions...
No, he stole all Japanese assets in America in July of 1941.
And the UK and the Netherlands, you know, what was it called?
The Dutch Indo-Indo... China or something like that?
Dutch Indonesia? Yeah.
The reason he seized the assets was because those Japanese invaded French Indochina.
Wait a minute. French Indochina?
You mean those murderous colonization French?
That took over Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia to steal their rubber and their tin and anything else and slaughter hundreds of thousands of people.
How dare those Japanese go in there?
And it got worse.
They also, those Japanese were only 600 miles away when they took over the Cam'ron Air Force Base to the United States troops in the Philippines.
What are we doing over there?
Oh, and those dirty Japanese took over Singapore and threw the British out.
Why? The sun never sets on the British Empire.
The United States, Dutch, and the UK stopped three quarters Of Japanese export trade.
And cut off 88% of its imported oil.
Japanese only import 100% of their oil.
And you mean they cut off an exporting country?
They cut off three quarters of their trade?
Can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor.
And they stole all your money?
And, of course, we know that sanctions are an act of war for those very reasons.
You know, you're going to starve children to death.
You're going to shut off somebody's energy supplies.
It really is an act of war.
And that was what they did.
I didn't know this. Yeah.
I didn't know this until this year.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, that's what they did to us in 2020.
They did essentially all these lockdowns and orders and everything.
They were essentially sanctions against the American people.
It was an act of war.
