	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday the 17th of July, year of our Lord 2023.
	Well, we've had some interesting developments over the weekend.
	We've had some, uh, yet another crazy statement by Lala Harris, but I think it was, uh, I think it was a Freudian slip.
	This is, uh, we'll talk about that coming up, but we're going to begin.
	With what happened with Tucker Carlson and The Blaze, you got a chance to talk to pretty much all the major candidates, except for Trump.
	Well, Chris Christie wasn't there.
	If you think he's a major candidate, I don't think he's a major candidate either, but he is as major as some of the people that he talked to.
	But some interesting back and forth, and as many people pointed out, likely ended the campaign of Pence and Asa Hutchinson, which is a good thing.
	We're going to talk about that first.
	We'll be right back. Welcome to my show!
	The Blaze, it was like eight hours.
	I don't have all the clips.
	It's so large that I'm having trouble getting my program uploaded to do a transcript.
	It's got a four-hour limit on this thing.
	And then I've got limits on the little audio thing that I use to cut stuff.
	Anyway, it's a long story.
	Moving a file around so my son can do it.
	But we'll have more information possibly on this later.
	But I think some of the key things that came out that have been identified by other people are very important.
	But I think the key thing that came out that's not been much talk about at all was something that Tucker Carlson said.
	And he was cheered for this, as a matter of fact.
	As he was interviewing Asa Hutchinson, the subject of vaccines came up.
	And he asked Asa Hutchinson how many he took, and Asa Hutchinson asked Tucker Carlson as well.
	How did you feel about that, and how many COVID shots did you take, and how do you feel about it now, in retrospect?
	How many COVID shots did you take?
	Zero. Well, you know, how many did Asa Hutchinson take?
	Well, I don't really care, but I do care about the fact that Tucker didn't take any.
	People are applauding that.
	That's great. He didn't take any.
	But, you know, he was pushing out interviews of Dr.
	Mark Siegel, who was pushing the vaccine, Trump's vaccine, very heavily.
	Mark Siegel with Fox News went down to the Trump White House.
	Remember that interview?
	They were standing six feet apart from each other.
	No masks, so they were six feet apart.
	You know, the magic mask, the magic six feet, all the rest of that.
	Absolute nonsense is being pushed by everybody at Fox.
	And Siegel was asking, well, are you going to get it first?
	Well, if I get it first, said Trump, everybody will say I'm jumping ahead.
	And if I don't get it, they'll say that I'm afraid of it and all the rest of this stuff, right?
	Remember that? Yeah, Tucker didn't say anything about that, did he?
	You know, Tucker is...
	Good Morning America is brought to you by Pfizer.
	Yeah, just like all these.
	Sponsored by Pfizer.
	So why did he not tell us?
	Could it be because Tucker was brought to you by Pfizer as well?
	Is that why he held back and didn't say anything about it for so long while people took it and died?
	Should he be applauded for that?
	I don't think so, frankly.
	So he did not say when he was still at Fox how many he had taken.
	That's why Asa Hutchinson asked him, how many did you take?
	He never said. He wouldn't say.
	And they had a very, very oppressive vaccine mandate at Fox News.
	Everybody was supposed to get it, or they were supposed to have testing every day and masking all of the time.
	But evidently, that rule didn't apply to Tucker either.
	Yeah, pretty amazing.
	So, yeah, he helped to cull the Republican presidential field, says the headline from American Thinker, but Tucker Carlson helped to cull Americans, not just the presidential politicians.
	He helped to cull Americans.
	He worked for one of the biggest promoters of the vaccine, and he kept silent about it when he knew better all along.
	He'd occasionally roll his eyes or this or that, but we knew what was happening.
	Why wouldn't he talk about the VAERS database or anything like that that was happening to people?
	This is what bothers me about these people who are in it for the money.
	Tucker's in it for the money.
	He didn't want to lose his $20 million a year, mostly from Pfizer and companies like that.
	So he kept silent.
	He's an accessory to the Trump murders, in my opinion.
	So, anyway...
	Who'd he help get rid of?
	Well, it's good news. Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence.
	As American Thinker says, clear losers can now be safely considered to be out of the running if they ever were in it.
	They aren't. As a matter of fact, some of the stuff that happened with Asa Hutchinson and the stuff that happened with Pence.
	Chris Christie, who didn't have the courage to show up.
	Chris Christie's going around. Well, Donald Trump's afraid to show up at the debates and all the rest of this stuff, right?
	The debates are nothing but a bunch of sound bites and going back at each other.
	The same questions that are always asked and so forth.
	They're really not important.
	A format like this, and Tucker did a good job of hammering them on the answer and not letting them get off with a pat answer.
	He had about a half hour with each of these candidates that he did.
	And so he did a good job of questioning.
	Absolutely. Absolutely. And that would not happen in a debate format.
	So, Chris Christie is actually the bigger coward.
	Because he doesn't want to show up at this.
	He'll go to the debates and he'll criticize Trump when Trump's not there.
	But he doesn't want to go one-on-one with Tucker when Tucker's going to ask him hard questions and not let him just put out his pat answer and get away with it.
	And that's what we saw with Pence.
	Tucker was persistent with it.
	There's other things that I think should be and could be said about what Pence was saying as well.
	But it was good that he didn't let these guys get away with anything, really.
	And so Chris Christie, when it comes to Ukraine, well, he's right there with Pence.
	When it comes to the big issue with Asa Hutchinson, about, well, I think parents ought to be able to mutilate their kids.
	Yeah, sure. I think the government needs to leave the parents to mutilate their kids if they want to.
	And sterilize them. What's wrong with that?
	And Chris Christie is right there on that.
	So you look at these killer questions for Asa Hutchinson and Mike Pence, and Chris Christie agrees with, takes the killer position on both of these two issues.
	They took out one issue each candidate.
	Well, Chris Christie gets a double helping of that.
	Asa Hutchinson was asked if he had changed his opinion after he vetoed an Arkansas bill when he was governor, banning transgendering surgical treatment for children.
	Tucker said the bill made what it called an exception for some intersex people with unspecified chromosomal makeup and hormone production and those with difficulties resulting from previous gender-affirming treatments that also would have banned so-called cross-hormone therapy, a gender-affirming treatment that allows for trans people to change their physical appearance to be more consistent with their gender identity.
	Tucker noted that the hormonal treatment of children created permanent alteration, as did surgical intervention, and that Hutchinson forbade restricting surgery and cross-hormonal therapy.
	How did, in other words, he's not going to ban that to kids.
	This is something they don't have the maturity to decide.
	They don't have the maturity to decide what gender they are.
	And any parent who says that they do should have those kids taken away from them.
	It's just that simple. For the same reasons that these parents should have the kids taken away from them, if they are sexually or violently abusing these kids, this is sexual and violent abuse and one issue.
	And the kids should be taken away from parents like that.
	Parental rights come with parental responsibility.
	And as I've said before, the way that we need to understand this is that there are different areas of jurisdiction and authority.
	You have the family bubble.
	You have the government bubble.
	You have the individual bubble.
	You have the church bubble.
	These are not a hierarchical pyramid thing with the government up at the top.
	No, these are separate, autonomous dominions, if you will.
	And everybody needs to stay in their lane, stay in their bubble.
	Unless somebody in the other bubble is violating what they're supposed to do.
	And when you have the parents who are violating their kids, then it is appropriate for any and all of those other entities, those other authority entities, to get involved.
	So Hutchinson said, well, how did he feel two years later about the hormonal treatments?
	He said, well, God says that there's two sexes.
	But then he continued that parents have a right to change that.
	The response was so muddled that it was unconvincing.
	And so American Thinker article, the article author says, I mark that as another candidate out of the race.
	It was a little bit softer on Nikki Haley, but a lot of people were saying that she came off very bad as well because, of course, she is one of the biggest war hawks.
	She is as big a war hawk as Mike Pence, if not more so.
	And she was...
	A little bit more savvy, according to American Thinker.
	I haven't watched her.
	I don't know.
	I'm just going to look at her transcript.
	That woman is such a diehard warmonger.
	I can't stand watching her.
	So incredibly phony on so many different issues.
	She didn't do well on questions of climate change.
	Says the author here.
	She fudged on the question of whether she thought 2020 was a fair election, deflecting to a plea about achieving election integrity.
	She said there were a lot of irregularities, but didn't think that it affected the results.
	Hmm. Even though she agreed that the intelligence community had too much power and interfered with the 2020 election.
	So she thinks that the intelligence community, CIA, so forth, had interfered with the 2020 election, but it didn't really matter.
	Well, that's not really a rational approach.
	On climate change, she notes that regarding the Paris Climate Agreement, she was critical of a plan that hampers us while letting China and India, the major emitters, leaving them alone.
	Oh, okay.
	So she's not going to say that it is not real.
	Haley said she did not know who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipeline.
	Yeah, this is what these neocons get into.
	Maybe she should call Henry Kissinger.
	Henry Kissinger would probably say he had that fake call with the Russian comedians who are imitating Zelensky.
	That's all right, Mr.
	Kissinger. Who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline?
	I thought it was you.
	I can just imagine somebody impersonating Nikki Haley and asking Trump, not Trump, Kissinger that question.
	He'd probably say, I thought it was you, Nikki.
	She certainly would want to.
	She hasn't seen anything she doesn't want to blow up anywhere.
	But, you know, when you get back to the election thing, whether she thought it was fair or not.
	Of course, there are always problems with the elections, and this also comes up again in some of Tucker's other issues, where he talks about electronic voting machines with Pence.
	But folks, it really was Trump's failure to investigate the irregularities.
	You understand? He did a lot of fundraising.
	A lot of fundraising.
	First $8,000 anybody contributed went to him with a small kickback to the RNC. He didn't do any investigating.
	He didn't produce any evidence.
	It's another failure of leadership.
	It's another example of how he's just in it for himself.
	And I said on Monday, December the 14th, while Alex had been the whole weekend out grifting for Stop the Steal as well, what did Alex do to fix the election with Stop the Steal and all the millions that he raised with it?
	And Trump, with his Save America, 250, what did they do to fix anything?
	They did nothing. They told everybody, go to Washington on January the 6th.
	Yeah, go to Washington.
	What's the plan? And I said that on December the 14th, that Monday, that was the day that everybody turned in.
	All the different states gave their official electors list in.
	I said, it's done. I said, here's what could have been done.
	And you can go back and you can look at the article that I wrote on December the 14th.
	It's on Roundtable Report, still there.
	One of the last ones I did because I got fired for telling people that there wasn't any solution to be had by January the 6th.
	There was nothing other than a trap.
	A trap for their money.
	A trap for their ego.
	So, Ramaswamy, unlike those who blame Trump for the January 6th events, he blames the Biden administration and big tech censorship.
	Well, that's a novel, stupid approach, frankly.
	Trump was the one who pushed people there.
	You know, all this stuff about Ray Epps, again, I gotta say, every time I look at this, let's say that Darren Beattie is right.
	Let's say that Ray Epps was an agent provocateur being funded by the FBI. How much did they pay him?
	They pay him $30 million, $50 million, $250 million for that?
	No, you know, Trump and Alex are getting tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars for Trump.
	Darren Beattie. And the people that he was going on with, both before and after January the 6th, was making lots of money off of this.
	And the people whose shows he went on were the ones who were pushing people to go to January the 6th.
	And all this stuff about Ray Epps, worst case scenario, let's say that he did everything that Darren Beattie and Steve Bannon and Alex and all these people accused him of, and Tucker, let's say he did all of that.
	That's a tiny, teeny, teeny, tiny drop in the bucket compared to what all of these people who are pointing the finger at Ray Epps are saying.
	They were the ones who provoked people.
	They were the ones who pushed them to go to January the 6th, knowing that nothing could come out of it.
	What was the plan? What were they going to do?
	There was absolutely no sane plan to do that.
	It was nothing but a trap.
	Anyway. So, Ramoswami's idea is that you want to know what caused J6? Pervasive censorship in this country in the lead-up to J6. We were told you couldn't question where the virus came from.
	We were told you could not send private messages to someone on the eve of an election.
	We were told that Hunter Biden's laptop story was true.
	You were told that you had to be locked down, and you had to take a vaccine, and that was mandated while Antifa and BLM burned the streets.
	That's what caused J6. A cycle of censorship.
	Okay, well here's the truth about Ramaswamy.
	He was in Ohio working with Governor DeWine, Mike DeWine.
	He was part of his COVID committee.
	And DeWine was one of the worst governors.
	He was a Republican governor, but he was one of the worst in terms of lockdowns and things that were being done.
	And if you remember...
	Mike DeWine was the one who offered the million-dollar lottery ticket, right?
	You go get one of the Trump shots, and you have a chance of winning a million dollars.
	You also have a chance of blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, and any other number of things.
	So you feeling lucky, punk?
	Go spend the numbers.
	I would like to know if Rambaswami, who spent a lot of money to get his involvement with Mike DeWine in Ohio erased From Wikipedia, I would like to know if Ramaswamy came up with that million dollar bribe thing.
	And I said when it came out, I said, see, here's the difference between the Republican and the Democrat governors.
	All getting funded by Trump.
	And, you know, of course, Trump had come down on the side of vaccine mandates for measles, the MMR shot.
	And he applauded that in New York, New Jersey, California, other places like that.
	So Trump is not against mandates for vaccines.
	But what he probably would have done is bribe people instead of blackmailing them like Biden.
	That's the difference between the two.
	But they would have had a way to do it one way or the other.
	And so I'd like to know what Ramaswamy's role in all of that was.
	Ron DeSantis does this article from American Thinker.
	Came out well in his interview.
	As governor of Florida, he signed a bill that banned abortion after six weeks and would use a presidential bully pulpit to encourage more governors to pass more restrictive abortion laws.
	Acknowledged that this has to be done by consensus in each state.
	That's the real way, folks.
	A lot of people don't want to see that.
	A lot of pro-life organizations want it mandated from Washington.
	We don't want this to be mandated from Washington because they will prohibit if we allow that to be established yet again.
	The Supreme Court did it once, and then they got it right with a Dobbs decision, said that's not anything that is in our authority.
	That belongs at the state level.
	If we try to bring it in with the legislature now again, Well, guess what?
	When the legislature changes, then the Democrats are going to say, yeah, everything goes, just like in Maine.
	You can kill a baby for no reason at all, all the way up to full term, and you can harvest their organs and make a profit off of that as well while they're still alive.
	That's Maine, and that's the kind of law that you can expect the next time the Democrats get a majority, if we make this a federal issue again.
	And it will only work in one direction, you understand.
	If the Democrats say, you can't stop people, you can't stop abortion in your state, all the Republican governors will say, okay, well, that's bad, but okay.
	Vote Republican next time, but we'll do whatever they say.
	But if, at the federal level, they would say, you cannot allow abortion, Beyond a certain time limit.
	Guess what? New York and California and Illinois, and you fill in the blank, all the rest of them.
	All of the Democrat states will say, huh, we're going to do it anyway.
	They will do it anyway.
	They'll do abortions anyway.
	But the conservatives will obey that arbitrary line that is going to be drawn by the federal government without any authority to do that.
	Anyway, DeSantis also, in terms of global warming, he said, we need to concentrate on improving the environment, which actually impacts people's lives, and that forcing people in electric vehicles is not going to work.
	He questioned about whether he was concerned that all the immigrants to his state from California and New York would turn his red state blue.
	He responded, that's not happening.
	Most of these new residents moved because they opted for freedom.
	Away from insanity and toward traditional values.
	And of course, this has been for the longest time, as I said, the Ellis Island experience.
	Give me your tired, huddled masses yearning to be free.
	Not coming for free stuff.
	That was always why people would come to the United States with legal immigration.
	And, of course, we would have that type of situation by de facto if we got rid of the welfare state.
	At least just get rid of the welfare state for foreigners, right?
	Foreign citizens. Illegal aliens.
	Can we get rid of the welfare state for them?
	Why? Why would we have, oh, it's to collapse the economy.
	Cloward and Piven. That's the design.
	But we need to end the welfare state for people who are not citizens.
	And if they want to come here...
	Like the people who did 100 years plus ago.
	I think it went back into the 1880s when you had massive waves of immigration, potato famines, and stuff like that.
	But the people who came typically came with nothing except the hope for freedom and a chance to succeed.
	And that's the way it needs to be now.
	But again, he made the distinction that Between pollution and environmentalism.
	And that's key that we understand that.
	That's how they always sell their stuff, right?
	Oh, well, we've got to clean up the environment.
	That's how the EPA began.
	And now the EPA is out there shutting down power plants.
	So you won't even be able to have an electric car.
	Oh, we're going to look at the emissions of power plants.
	No. He talked about the government's foreign policy leaders, DeSantis did with Tucker.
	He said we need to concretely define the mission there.
	And we've got to decide what is in our national interests.
	Are we interested in our border or Ukraine's?
	He was adamant about the invasion across our borders, in particular the need to smash the cartels.
	He said we need to focus more on the threat from China.
	That's concerning. We don't want to have a war with China.
	These guys do want to have a war with China.
	And stop providing, at our cost, a blanket security to Europe.
	We need to end the war in Ukraine, he said.
	Well, that's good. But of course, if you remember, Trump was going to end all the wars.
	It's important that people say the right things, but you understand that it's real easy to say the right things.
	And then once they've been president, like Trump or Biden, then you know what they're going to do.
	He didn't end any wars.
	We had the Chinese fire drill in Afghanistan as we got thrown out because Trump didn't get us out and Biden didn't get us out.
	They ran away. They evacuated in an emergency situation.
	He said the Federal Reserve's plan is to rid us of cash and of crypto.
	He said he would nix any such plan, which he sees as a means to impose a social credit system on this country.
	Good. And remember, he was the first one to come out against CBDC, and he actually had a big press conference about that.
	Stop Digital Big Brother or something like that was on the sign.
	And all they asked him was, well, what about Trump who's been indicted by Alvin Bragg in Manhattan?
	Are you going to give him up?
	And, you know, his answer, which was not saying that he was going to extradite him, He said that's their problem.
	He didn't say he was going to extradite him at all.
	But Trump attacked him.
	And made it, you know, his base acted as if DeSantis was working with a Manhattan prosecutor.
	It's just amazing how they got turned around.
	But again, Trump didn't want to talk about CBDC. He wanted to talk about himself.
	And nobody, the mainstream media, did not want to talk about CBDC. So they talked about Trump as well.
	As for the intelligence community and other agencies, Which sabotaged the chief executive.
	DeSantis said he'd immediately name a new FBI director, fill all executive branch positions, which do not require confirmation on the first day.
	Again, that'd be the least that you would want to do.
	I think it needs to be, we need to rethink this whole thing about doing law enforcement from Washington.
	I am not in favor of centralized law enforcement.
	I think the John Birch Society got it right back in the 60s.
	Support your local sheriff.
	That's where law enforcement needs to be.
	Federal government is a creation of the states.
	And those powers were not given to them for a reason.
	Quite frankly, I trust Jefferson and Madison more than I trust Woodrow Wilson and J. Edgar Hoover, who created the FBI. Okay?
	So, anticipating media outrage, if he did this, he said, Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president this power.
	He said, furthermore, he would have used that power to fire Fauci.
	How many times have people written me saying that Trump didn't have the power to fire Fauci?
	Folks, he's in the executive branch.
	And if you don't think that he could fire Fauci, how did he fire Comey and McCabe and the FBI? Of course he has the power to fire Fauci, by definition.
	And he had cause to fire Fauci.
	And he implied at the rallies immediately preceding the election that he had the power to fire Fauci.
	When people were screaming at him, fire Fauci, fire Fauci!
	We'll see. Yeah, maybe I'll do that.
	Yeah, yeah. Never thought about doing it.
	Anyway, he was one of the people that he gave medals of commendation, not the Freedom Medal, as I said earlier, correct that.
	But he gave medals of commendation to Fauci and Jared Kushner and generals and all the rest of them who ran Operation Warp Speed.
	He did it on his final day.
	He was very proud of it, still is.
	So he said he would also fire government employees who colluded in censorship.
	And that on a case-by-case basis, he would pardon those who have been targeted by a partisan Department of Justice.
	He added that government censorship on COVID killed people, hurt schoolchildren, and without a major accounting, this weaponization of government will happen again.
	He said the practice of agencies classifying documents to protect themselves is a big problem, and that he would declassify as much as possible, requiring the agencies to meet a high bar.
	To block declassification.
	And it's not even just classification.
	You've got to sue these people to get any information from them because they won't willingly comply with the FOIA law.
	So, anyway, the comment from this guy was that this is much better than the debates, what we saw.
	You know, a news person, journalist, who will actually ask probing questions and hold their feet to the fire.
	And I've got to give Tucker credit for doing that.
	Again, almost every major candidate was there except for Christie and Trump, who were both afraid to show up.
	And it was put on by The Blaze.
	And one of the reasons why it was so blazing long was because they ran it like some kind of a sporting event.
	As I'm scrubbing through, trying to find the different places where people talk.
	I mean, it was Glenn Beck, and he had one person after the other.
	He must have had seven or eight people there for color commentary and all the rest of this stuff.
	And, I mean, they milked this for everything they could.
	But the central part where there was the one-on-one questioning was good.
	Uh, so I'm going to take a break and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about that.
	Uh, let me just say, uh, thank you to Brandon Bennett.
	Thank you very much for the tip on rock fan.
	Uh, KWD 68 says, uh, it was a bad strategy to let tense talk in an unscripted forum.
	Yeah. Well, you know, the thing is you'll see when we play these clips, uh, We're good to go.
	But the truth will out. If you keep persisting on this, the truth will come out.
	So he didn't have a Perry Mason moment, you know, but in a sense he did.
	And we'll show you about that.
	He's trying to say the remark, well, that's not my concern, was taken out of context.
	No, if you look at the context, that is exactly why we know that's what he was talking about, frankly.
	I think it's Mustang. Tucker and Trump are the same.
	Give them enough money and they'll say anything.
	Yeah, I agree. KWD 68 GOP is just a show.
	Yeah. And it was a big blazing show.
	Eight hours of this stuff.
	It's amazing how they milked it.
	It is like a sporting event.
	You know, it's like the sports commentators.
	You know, you go into a sports bar or something, you see these sports channels, and it may be, you know, six months away from the sports season.
	But they'll have a football channel.
	And they'll all be talking about football the whole time.
	It's like, there's no games being played.
	There's not even any draft that's happening.
	And you're just talking about football all the time, 24-7.
	Yeah. It's the way it is with politics.
	You know, we're six months out from the first election.
	But I want to talk about some of the things that were said because we need to understand how this is being presented in the media.
	We need to understand where these politicians are so that we know how the different politicians are going to be coming at us in different ways.
	That's the key thing. Yeah, they never hit the brakes, he said.
	We need to end federal agencies, end the UN, end NATO membership, end the support of the rainbow, and end the Fed.
	Income taxes be self-supporting, said no Republican ever.
	Yeah, absolutely right.
	Well, you know, Reagan kind of said government is not the solution, it's the problem, and then he proceeded to make the problem bigger, like the Department of Education, for example.
	It was created in the election year, of all things.
	And he grew it.
	He grew it even after he won.
	Marvin Gardens says, primaries may be interesting, but I believe their outcome, as usual, will be determined by swamp pigs behind the scenes.
	Pathetic to see Trump as the preordained GOP turd.
	How fitting. Yeah, well, again, that's what they want.
	That's absolutely what they want.
	RCF2020, thank you very much for the tip on Rumble.
	Didn't Trump put Pence in charge of picking Team Fauci at the outset of the phony pandemic?
	Yeah, yeah, he was there as well.
	You know, Trump didn't give Pence a medal as part of that Operation Warp Speed team.
	He gave his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, got a medal, but not Pence.
	So, he also says, the GOP foils every conservative grassroots candidate.
	America would not be circling the drain, except the rhinos are responsible for at least 50% of godless, lawless tyranny in America and abroad.
	See, the whole thing starts, the rigging of the elections starts with ballot access.
	The two parties have tight control who gets on the ballot pretty much everywhere.
	Even in local elections, it happens this way.
	If you don't get involved in the local parties and that type of stuff, it limits who's on the ballot.
	And they've already started with this because in New Hampshire...
	There is a movement which is largely Democrat in terms of its orientation, but talking about a third party candidacy.
	And so Joe Manchin has gone up there to talk to them.
	And so Politico is already starting to lay the groundwork about why we don't want to have third parties.
	And, um, so they put up a piece where they talked about the vote totals of third parties and their effects and how it just spoils things for those anointed, uh, GOP or Democrat candidates and that type of thing.
	But it's ballot access is how they control all this stuff at the very beginning.
	That's why I said, you want to talk about the election, uh, the, um, you know, The machines.
	We're talking about the vote-by-mail garbage that Trump added with his lockdowns and all the rest of this stuff.
	We're fine. But remember, it begins with ballot access in the first place.
	Second thing that happens is to keep people out of debates.
	And so even though they keep asking the same questions over and over again, and even though it is a soundbite issue, having a third or fourth candidate in there keeps these people from just making an ad hominem attack against the other person.
	They actually have to discuss some of the issues, and you could possibly open these things up if you've got somebody who is aggressive and isn't going to be limited by the questions of the moderator, quote-unquote moderator.
	But they control all of that stuff from the very beginning.
	Angus Mustaine...
	Replies to John, the lesser of two evil vote is what keeps me away from voting anymore, especially now they keep recycling the same clowns we know are useless criminals.
	Brian Taylor, Republicans use a carrot and the Democrats use a stick.
	That's right. Yeah, bribe or blackmail or bludgeon with a stick.
	KWD68, Pence was the COVID czar.
	Yeah. Jason.
	Hey, Jason. Jason Barker, I feel like I'm watching ESPN when I turn on the news leading up to an election.
	Maybe Vegas will have a betting site for it.
	Oh, yes, they do. And as a matter of fact, Robert Barnes made an unbelievable amount of money betting on the 2016 election.
	That kind of got Alex's attention in a lot of the Media's attention, how much money he made betting on that election.
	And it is like a horse race.
	And all these polls and everything that are out there right now, I mean, these guys have not...
	Six months away from the first voting that's there.
	John John. Yeah, Jason, it's beyond the pale how professional wrestling this whole circus is.
	I agree. Reality TV at its worst.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we are going to show you a couple of the clips...
	And it's important when these people who are running the levers of government or who have run it in the past, either as vice president or as governor or whatever, to get a glimpse of what these people actually say out loud.
	It truly is amazing.
	We'll be right back. Music We're
	good to go. Making
	sense. Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, on Rumble, Superfaith, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. She says, thanks for watching so we didn't have toll.
	Yeah, I don't know if we're going to be able to stop that or not.
	I think they will stop the red flag law.
	I mean, the Republicans in Tennessee don't want to see that happen.
	Governor Lee's trying to push that through.
	Tennessee was one of only 14 states that did not have a toll.
	Governor Lee's pushing real hard for that.
	And when I was there to talk to the Commerce Committee at the invitation of Senator Nicely, that's a big deal with him.
	And he was mentioning that...
	And he's also against the toll, too.
	And they kind of roll their eyes like, okay, here's your pet peeve again.
	Nicely hates tolls.
	I hate tolls. But most of these guys, I think, are going to go with it.
	And, you know, sad to see that happening.
	It really is. I had a letter from a listener, MJ. Your Ray Epps coverage, he says.
	Do you know that he is being represented by a lawyer from Perkins Coy?
	I feel like reasonable people can draw some reasonable inferences from that.
	Yeah, I agree. He said, I agree that he should be afforded the presumption of innocence and free from slander and libel.
	Well, the thing is, is that the reason that Hillary Clinton's allied law firm, Perkins Coy, if I'm pronouncing that right, C-O-I-E, I think it's Perkins Coy.
	I read it all the time, but I don't know.
	I don't listen to the news, so sometimes I get these pronunciations, I'm way off on them.
	But anyway, this law firm has been heavily associated with Democrats.
	Let me just say, when there is blood in the water, these sharks will come.
	How did the blood get in the water?
	Well, in this particular case with Ray Epps, it was a self-inflicted wound with these guys.
	You know, there was just a... At the end of the week last week, there was a story about...
	A professional surfboarder, world famous.
	I don't keep up with surfboarding as a sport.
	I had never seen the guy's name before.
	But he was surfing and he fell off in his board.
	You know, it's got a fin underneath it.
	Cut his femoral artery.
	And he bled to death before they could get him out of the water.
	You know, it's sometimes, and I'm not blaming him for that.
	I mean, there's a freak accident that's happening.
	But what I am blaming, Tucker Carlson, Fox News, for this Ray Epps stuff.
	Again, we don't have enough problems with people being over-prosecution, over-punishment, and all the rest of this stuff.
	He was nothing other than a scapegoat.
	And I'll say this, even if Ray Epps is an FBI informant, he's still being used as a scapegoat to draw attention away from the people who really pushed everyone to January the 6th.
	What was going to happen that day?
	What could have been accomplished?
	Absolutely nothing! The only thing that could happen, and it was a given that there were going to be agent provocateurs there from the FBI. It was a given that they were going to set people up.
	Even if it hadn't turned violent like that, they were going to set people up.
	And a lot of people have gone to jail who didn't do any violence.
	The doors were open after a while, and they had police standing there.
	Just come on in, come on in, and we'll send you to jail later.
	And I tell you what, it was such a setup, and I talked about it for two months.
	I have no sympathy for Tucker Carlson.
	He profited by his audience.
	He put that stuff out there, just like he put out the vaccine stuff.
	Tucker didn't go on to Washington on January 6th.
	Tucker didn't take the shot.
	What about the people who did?
	Anyway, the blood is on a self-inflicted wound, frankly.
	So... Let's talk about a little bit of what happened with the back and forth, because it was good.
	He did a good job of talking to people.
	And speaking of January the 6th, Carlson talked to Pence about January the 6th.
	He said, do you think that was an insurrection?
	Pence said, I've never used the word insurrection, Tucker, over the last two years.
	It was a riot that took place at the Capitol that day.
	Obviously, the tragic loss of life, ransacking the Capitol that occurred.
	He said, but I really do believe that a day of tragedy became a triumph for freedom.
	Oh, that's interesting. I've never seen that before.
	And I'll always believe that by God's grace I did my duty that day under the Constitution of the U.S. and our institutions held.
	Carlson says, so when you say tragic loss of life, who are you referring to?
	Pence. Well, obviously Ashley Babbitt would come to mind immediately when I think of Carlson said, well, what do you think about the fact that she was shot?
	Pence says, well, I just think it was a tragic moment, without question.
	But I have to tell you that seeing people assaulting law enforcement officers, smashing windows, breaking into Capitol building, it infuriates me.
	So I guess if you see people who are breaking into windows, then you can shoot whoever you want now.
	All bets are off, is that right?
	Does a person have to be a threat?
	See, the problem is that Pence uses the same approach to a person who gets in the way of the American government, an enemy of the state, if you will.
	He uses the same type of approach with the use of force on an individual level that he uses for Ukraine.
	We don't have the just war theory when it comes to Ukraine.
	And we don't have the idea that you don't use lethal force unless your life is in danger when it comes to the police on Capitol Hill either, according to Pence.
	You see the problem with all this stuff?
	You know, it goes beyond what Tucker Carlson came after Pence for on the religious persecution.
	It goes back to the moral justification for the use of force.
	There is a moral justification for the use of force.
	No doubt about it, in my opinion.
	But you better understand when it is justified and when the use of force is just murder.
	And we have rules about that on a one-to-one basis.
	Between citizens or between law enforcement and citizens.
	And we have the same type of rules.
	The principles are essentially the same when you are talking about nation versus nation as well.
	And Pence is absolutely clueless about all of that morality.
	He goes on to say, you know, breaking into the Capitol building, that infuriated me, he said.
	It's very likely that the restraint shown by law enforcement officers saved lives that day.
	I would like to see the restraint that was shown by law enforcement officers.
	I didn't see that restraint.
	Instead, I saw them acting provocatively.
	I saw them as typically as the case in a riot situation.
	The police start firing tear gas canisters or something at an angry crowd, and that kicks it off.
	They come dressed for a war, like Roman gladiators, to a demonstration.
	And more often than not, it's that type of thing that kicks it off.
	And let me just contrast that with what happened in Tennessee, with that attempted insurrection, if you want to use the word.
	You had the situation where you had the Tennessee Three, and they took over the floor...
	Refused to yield.
	Had a bullhorn.
	You know, these three elected representatives.
	And they brought along with them a big mob to threaten and to intimidate the legislators.
	And that was the whole point of January the 6th.
	It was to threaten and intimidate the people in Congress.
	And so it was essentially the same thing.
	The difference in Tennessee was that they were threatening the legislators to do something about gun control.
	And on January the 6th, they were threatening the legislators to do something about Trump in the election.
	But it was essentially the same thing.
	It was handled differently in Tennessee by, I guess it was the State Highway Patrol or whatever, that was their task with protecting them.
	They were in their officers' uniforms.
	And you saw the pictures of the angry mob that was all over inside the building, inside the hallways.
	And you had these legislators who were trying to get to the floor of the legislatures to do their business.
	And you had these Tennessee police officers surrounding them.
	And they were getting shoved and pushed and hit and all the rest of this stuff.
	They were using their bodies as shield.
	They did not come in there.
	With riot gear and helmets and billy clubs and all the rest of this stuff.
	Because if they had and somebody would have started pushing them, they probably would have started smacking heads.
	Even if there was more people and they would get outnumbered.
	Even if you are in all your riot gear, if there's enough people, they can take you down, as we saw on January the 6th.
	But it's a very different situation.
	That posture was very different.
	They came out, set up for a fight, and they got belligerent about it, and it escalated things.
	Whereas in Tennessee, these guys just took the punches and the shoves and used their bodies to shield these legislators, and it didn't happen.
	They didn't have any violence with that.
	So that's how it can be done.
	That's how it was not done on January the 6th.
	That's another thing that Pence is wrong about.
	He said, but I think it's important that we hold those accountable.
	I'm still waiting for equal vigor and equal prosecutions for those that brought hundreds of Black Lives Matter riots to cities across America.
	And so, again, you know, let's just arrest everybody.
	Which is what I say about the politicians.
	And the politicians say, let's just arrest everybody on the streets.
	And look, the people who are burning down cities and everything, that is an act of violence and they should have been arrested.
	And the people who were violent on January the 6th should be arrested.
	But they shouldn't be given life sentences.
	People for Black Lives Matter not even arrested, let alone life sentences.
	It's called equal protection of the law is the principle here.
	Pence also had something to say about Trump on January 6th.
	He said, I believe whatever Trump's intentions were at that moment, it endangered me and my family and everybody that was at the Capitol that day.
	I believe history will hold Trump accountable for that, just as the law will hold everyone accountable that engaged in acts of violence.
	And of course, you know, the lawless Department of Justice is holding people who were not engaged in acts of violence accountable for things.
	Pence said he supported the Justice Department's extensive prosecutions of those who attended the January 6th riot, but noted that he wanted equal justice brought to people who'd engaged in the hundreds of riots during the summer of 2020.
	So you understand that Pence's campaign ended not just because of his answers about Ukraine, but because of this as well.
	Because he's absolutely wrong about that.
	Absolutely wrong. So then the American cities are not my concern, quote.
	Let's play that clip for you.
	You are distressed that the Ukrainians don't have enough American tanks.
	Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years.
	Drive around. There's not one city that's gotten better in the United States.
	And it's visible. Our economy has degraded.
	The suicide rate has jumped.
	Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.
	And yet, your concern is that the Ukrainians, a country most people can't find on a map, who've received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars, don't have enough tanks.
	I think it's a fair question to ask, like, where's the concern for the United States in that?
	Well, it's not my concern. Tucker, I've heard that routine from you before, but that's not my concern.
	I'm running for President of the United States because I think this country's in a lot of trouble.
	I think Joe Biden has weakened America at home and abroad.
	And as President of the United States, we're going to restore law and order in our cities.
	We're going to secure our border.
	We're going to get this economy moving again.
	And we're going to make sure that we have men and women on our courts at every level that will stand for the right to life and defend all the God-given liberties enshrined in our Constitution.
	Anybody that says that we can't be the leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth.
	We can do both.
	Okay. So, my son says, it says a lot about Pence, that he thinks the death and the arrest of the January 6th protesters was, quote, a triumph of freedom.
	Yeah, you heard him right there.
	You know, we are God-given liberties.
	Well, what about your God-given liberties of freedom of speech?
	And the right to redress your grievances in public.
	What about that? He doesn't like that too much.
	What he's trying to do, you heard Tucker say, you know, we've got the cities are decaying and everybody sees what is happening to our country, yet your concern is more tanks for Ukraine.
	And, you know, what are you going to do about the American cities and so forth and so on?
	And he says, that's not my concern.
	Now, Pence is saying, he was saying that your concern is more tanks for Ukraine.
	And he's saying that's not his concern.
	But that is his concern. That is his concern.
	There's been a very long lead-up to this, and it continued on about that, the back and forth about the war.
	His concern is to get tanks to Ukraine.
	And his concern is not about American cities, as you can see.
	And so Pence says, well, that was taken out of context.
	No, the context is that you want unlimited amounts of money for the war.
	And you don't really care about what happens in America.
	And you really don't care about our liberties either.
	There's not anything that he had to say about lockdowns.
	And of course, Tucker was really light on asking people about what happened in 2020.
	Unfortunately, he did ask some good questions about Ukraine, but not about the lockdown and the pandemic and the vaccine and all the rest of this stuff.
	He had the little admission, well, I didn't take it.
	Well, good for you, Tucker.
	Good for you. Yeah, a lot of people who watched your sponsors did.
	Anyway, he says, anybody that says we can't be the leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on earth.
	We can do both. Well, it's the greatest show on earth.
	That is a secret. It is a circus, I should say.
	The guns and the great society.
	Guns and butter. We can have both.
	Not a problem. Just like LBJ. That's what I've said over and over again.
	I said the Republicans of today...
	Or like the Democrats of my youth.
	We can have Vietnam and we can have the great society at the same time.
	Oh really? Both of those are abject failures.
	And that's really where he's coming from.
	But then there was a back and forth about the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which was kind of interesting, I think.
	I'm looking at comments about January 6th.
	Timed, non-tide, says January 6th couldn't accomplish anything because they weren't serious.
	Yeah, you know, if you want to look at what is the objective of...
	What's going on with any of these wars?
	They start wars, but they don't know why.
	They're preemptive most of the time.
	They have no ending point, because the whole point of the war is just to have a war.
	And the same thing was true of January the 6th.
	What was the point? What were they going to accomplish?
	You know, I talked about Bundy Ranch last week, and it was very...
	They had confiscated his cattle.
	They had killed some of his prize bulls.
	Those things are very, very expensive, and the Bundys were not wealthy.
	They tried to make it look like they had, you know, oh, look, he's got a million dollars in fees that the BLM says that he owes them.
	Well, that accumulated over a few years, but most of that was penalties and interest.
	But, you know, they didn't have much money.
	I know, I saw their house and all the rest of the stuff.
	I was in their house. But when you look at how they're pushing this stuff, it is...
	I don't know.
	It's just crazy the way they're trying to portray this.
	And when you look at the Ukrainian church...
	The Ukrainian Orthodox Church was created by Zelensky in 2018.
	Why did Zelensky create the Ukrainian Orthodox Church?
	Because the dominant church throughout the area was the Russian Orthodox Church, and their leader was in Russia.
	And so he was doing this to break away.
	And it was a political move.
	And the bigger issue about this, besides the fact that they are arresting people who had these monasteries that go back for centuries in Ukraine, Again, it was the Russian Orthodox Church.
	But now we have this Ukrainian Orthodox Church that I created four years ago, so now I'm going to arrest you monks that are in this thing, and we're going to just purge anything that has to do with the Russian Orthodox Church, because we have to culturally dominate this country.
	That's why Zelensky created it.
	Zelensky is a pathetic, corrupt, obscene little comic.
	He doesn't care about the church, except for political reasons.
	And this speaks to why you don't want to have church and state pulled together.
	As I said, when you combine those two, what you wind up with is politics completely destroying the church when you bring those two together.
	And so... The official state churches, in this particular case, put church in air quotes, is merely an attempt to strengthen the political hand of the government.
	And that's clearly the case.
	What is happening here with Zelensky just created this church out of thin air to strengthen his hand.
	And that's the real issue.
	It's about consolidation of government power.
	And so they are trashing the free exercise of religion for government power.
	Tucker was right, but it's a deeper issue than just who's arresting who.
	Pence comes back and says, well, you know, we had, you know, I was there.
	I talked to the guy in the church, who's head of the church that Zelensky created.
	He said, there's no problem. Oh, well, I guess we're done with that.
	As a matter of fact, let me play a bit of this back and forth because there's several things in here.
	And I want you to notice that How he mentions Samaritan purse in here as well.
	We recently met with Zelensky, according to news reports.
	And I'm wondering if during that meeting, as a prominent Christian leader, which you are in addition to your political views, you broach the question of his treatment of Christians within Ukraine.
	The Zelensky government has Raided convents, arrested priests, has effectively banned a denomination, a Christian denomination, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church within Ukraine, has persecuted Christians.
	And I wonder if you raised that with him.
	I did raise the issue when we were there.
	And I raised it with the leader of the Orthodox Church when I was visiting Kiev and asked him about concerns about religious liberty.
	He assured me that the Zelensky government in Ukraine was respecting religious liberty, even while recognizing that there were very small elements of the Russian Orthodox Church that were being utilized for the purpose of advancing the Russian cause in Ukraine, and that they were taking steps to hold them to and that they were taking steps to hold them to account.
	But the leader of the church at St. Michael, Michael's in Kyiv told me personally that he believed that the Zelensky government was respecting religious liberty.
	And I must tell you... Other than the sanctity of life, there's no higher priority in my life than preserving the freedom of religion in America and championing religious liberty around the world.
	I'm confused. On this question, it's very clear that the Zelensky government has arrested priests for having views they disagree with.
	That's not consistent with religious liberty.
	It's an attack on it, and we're funding it.
	And I'm just wondering how is it, and I don't mean to be disrespectful at all, but I sincerely wonder how a Christian leader could support the arrests of Christians for having different views.
	Well, what I can tell you is I asked the Christian leader in Kyiv if that was in fact happening, and he assured me that it was not.
	People were not being persecuted for their religious beliefs.
	Yeah, right. I didn't believe you, too, yeah.
	Let me take a break here.
	I know we disagree on this strongly, but I respect your right to your opinion on Ukraine, and I trust you'll respect mine.
	Look, I've been to Ukraine now twice.
	My wife and I traveled into Ukraine a month after the initiation of hostilities.
	We traveled then with a group called Samaritan's Purse, providing Christian relief to the millions of Ukrainians, women and children of every age that had to flee that country in the face of the unprovoked Russian invasion that began a year and a half ago.
	I did return, took an 11-hour train ride into Kiev, also again with Samaritan's Purse.
	We not only met with government leaders, but we met with Christian relief workers.
	We're literally rebuilding homes of people in small towns, little hamlets, that a year ago were being shelled by Russian tanks.
	All the people in that community were just...
	And nine years ago, they were being shelled by the Ukrainian government.
	I mean, the... The truth is, what I saw was not just evidence of war, but I saw evil.
	And I believe that it is in the interest of the United States of America to continue to give the Ukrainian military the resources that they need to repel the Russian invasion and restore their sovereignty.
	Would you, may I ask, would you be, and I believe you have a good faith position on this, and we have disagreements on it, but I want to just, I can't let you allide over the question of the treatment of Christians.
	I know, I heard that again.
	And would you be, no, but hold on, would you be willing?
	The problem is you don't accept my answer.
	I just told you that I asked the religious leader in Kiev if it was happening.
	You asked me if I raised the issue, and I did.
	And I'm saying factually incorrect. And I also raised it with the Ukrainians, and I was told that there are, There are religious leaders who have been working with the Russian military that is murdering people by the thousands.
	Okay. I mean, Tucker, look.
	Wait, hold on. Don't you think...
	Let me explain to you what I think our national interest is there.
	I would think you would have greater concern for religious liberty in Ukraine.
	I told you I raised the issue of religious liberty.
	You spoke to one person who's clearly on one side of it, and there are many, many news reports that are not disputed by anybody that many clergy have been arrested in Ukraine.
	And I'm merely saying, I may not agree with their views, I'm not Russian Orthodox, but you can't arrest clergy for having different views, period.
	Because if you do, you violate the basic tenet of religious liberty.
	Look, I want to be clear with you, I won't stand by it.
	I won't stand for it.
	You know, that's a valid thing for Tucker to spend so much time on, try to hold his feet to the fire, because you understand that Pence was like Lala Harris.
	He had about 1% of the vote when he was running in 2016, and Trump picked him for his vice president.
	Why? Why?
	He picked him because Pence had a reputation of being evangelical, right?
	Evangelical Protestant Christian, he was trying to appeal to that base.
	Trump desperately needed something to counter his personal history, let's just say.
	And he needed that group to support him, so he picked Pence for that.
	And so it's legitimate to hold Pence's feet to the fire about religious persecution in the country, the government that he wants to support, the government that we created with a coup.
	The government, he says, well, you know, we were going around with Samaritan's Purse, and we were building up these small hamlets and villages that were shelled by Russians.
	Well, these small villages and hamlets were being shelled by Ukrainians after the CIA coup, the Obama administration coup, back in 2014.
	Shelled them for eight years before Russia invaded.
	They didn't want to talk about that.
	And then you've got a centuries-old church.
	The people are now being arrested and rounded up.
	Why? Because Zelensky wants to establish this new church that he created in 2018.
	Do you see a symmetry here? New church, new government, and all the rest of the stuff.
	And it's all about their authoritarian powers.
	One of the things he mentioned there was Samaritan's Purse.
	And you know, I have attended churches in the past where there's always a big, you know, Christmas donation where you send toys and clothing and stuff like that to kids in poor countries.
	And it was run by Samaritan's Purse.
	And Franklin Graham...
	The lead on that was a spokesperson.
	I don't know if he's still involved with the day-to-day activities of this stuff or it's taken on a life of its own.
	But when you look at Samaritan's Purse and its role in Ukraine, and you look at Samaritan's Purse and its role in the COVID lockdowns, they were there in New York City helping to push this narrative that New York was the worst place on earth ever.
	With his no-pandemic thing, the plandemic.
	It wasn't a pandemic at all.
	Samaritan's Purse put a massive operation there.
	We're going to help to take care of the sick people.
	Well, good. That's nice.
	Except that when nobody showed up, and you had the 2,500-bed army hospital that Trump sent, and you had the hospital ship that Trump sent, and then he sent another one to L.A., all of those packed up and went home because there was nobody coming.
	It was no pandemic. And the same thing is true of Samaritan's Purse.
	I thought, what's the matter with them?
	Why haven't they said anything about this?
	And never have said anything about it.
	And quite frankly, I think Franklin Graham just doesn't get it.
	He went ahead and he got the real shot.
	And he got pericarditis.
	He had to have heart surgery and they had to remove the exterior lining of his heart.
	I don't think he knows what's going on.
	But I think these people in Samaritan's Purse do.
	And you better mark them and understand that you don't want to...
	They're not somebody that's...
	They're with the deep state, in my opinion.
	And so then let's talk about one last thing here about this Pence war stuff.
	And that, again, is the whole idea of a just war.
	Just like I said earlier, the...
	Are you justified in having a war?
	Well, Pence doesn't even understand when it is justified for law enforcement to take a life on a one-to-one basis.
	He supports excessive use of force.
	And he supports the type of wars that we justly labeled with the invasion of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
	We called it a day of infamy.
	Why? Because they attacked American ships and we had not attacked them.
	I understand all the stuff that FDR did.
	Don't write me. I've talked about it many times.
	I understand how he stood down the defenses.
	I understood how he was sending supplies out there.
	The Germans knew what would happen if they attacked preemptively.
	It would arouse America in a just war of vengeance.
	FDR knew what would happen.
	And so he was baiting both Germany and Japan.
	Germany didn't take the bait.
	Japan did. And it was a just war to then go after them, even if it was passive-aggressive behavior that was behind it.
	It was still a justified war.
	And you should be reluctant to go to war.
	You should do it only if you are attacked first, in defense, in an effort to end the war.
	You need to try to protect civilians and innocent life as much, and you need to be as focused...
	On ending the violence as soon and quickly as possible.
	And none of that occurs to Pence.
	So I have to ask, what is he representing?
	What is Christianity in America anymore?
	You look at the places where the church is growing.
	In Africa.
	In China. Where the people are serious about this stuff.
	Where they know what they believe, where they stand on their principles.
	I've got to believe that they just look at America and it's like, what happened to them?
	No, God, let us not go down that path.
	And Pence is exhibit A. Yeah, not my concern.
	This is how empires die.
	When it's not the concern of the leaders about what is happening, they're only concerned about their foreign games of intrigue.
	That's how empires die.
	We rot from the inside.
	And as Tucker is pointing that out to him, he says, that's not my concern.
	And it was not out of context, as I said.
	All of what was leading up to that was how we've got to push further and further into all of this.
	My son writes... Imagine going to a church founded by Zelensky.
	Yeah, as a worship leader, how does he play the piano?
	I don't know, but anyway.
	KWD68, teleprompters make everyone a made-for-TV leader, but they don't make a leader.
	Then you have the ones who can't even read a teleprompter.
	Yeah, that's right. Pence says it's important, says Brian Taylor, to protect the sanctity of life, and yet he is a warmonger.
	That's right. That's right.
	If Pence wants war so bad, he should go fight on the front lines.
	I absolutely agree. Yeah, you can't, you know, the left always says, well, you know, you say you're pro-life, but you have the death penalty.
	That's a very different thing, right?
	I mean, the problem I have with the death penalty is the justice system working.
	But in principle, I don't have a problem with the death penalty.
	I just have a problem with our justice system not working properly.
	But that's a very different thing.
	When you're talking about abortion, you're talking about an innocent life.
	And when you're talking about wars, you're talking about innocent lives at stake as well.
	And there's not really any effort to protect them anymore.
	From either side, that's where we are now.
	And as we look at all this stuff, we should be concerned that this war is going to come to us as well the next time.
	And so Chris Christie on Sunday's program went on with George Stephanopoulos, ABC News, as this former Clinton guy on.
	Chris Christie... Flatly declared Tucker Carlson, quote, wrong, unquote, as he pushed back on the conservative pundits' arguments against U.S. support for Ukraine.
	Christie said, I would have said, you're always wrong about this, Tucker, and you're still wrong.
	He said, in fact, what's going on is this is a proxy war with China.
	Oh, great. So you're starting a proxy war with China, right?
	In other words, we're in a cold war with China is the way he's approaching this.
	The Chinese, he said, are funding the Russian war by buying Russian oil.
	They're coordinating with the Iranians to provide lethal weapons to the Russian army.
	And we can decide when to have this conflict.
	You understand? We can decide when to have this.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, you might want to back up a little bit and talk about what happened in 2014.
	Anyway, he says, right now the Ukrainians are willing to fight this fight for themselves if they have the support to be able to win it.
	If the Chinese watch us back down from Ukraine, as Tucker Carlson and others would advocate, believe me, the next move will be Taiwan.
	It's the domino theory again.
	I grew up listening to these murderers, these warmongers, prattling along about the domino theory.
	And again, it was China that was involved.
	We got to take out Vietnam because, you know, China is there.
	We can't show weakness to China.
	And China wants to dominate all of this stuff.
	And, you know, the people in Vietnam, they're not doing stuff for their own purpose.
	It's just like Russia doesn't feel like they've got their back to the wall and NATO wants to take them out, even though NATO is saying, yeah, our goal is to destroy Russia and have a regime change and to create a regime that we're going to control.
	I've talked about it many times.
	Robert McNamara, the documentary, The Fog of War.
	If you haven't seen it, you should see it.
	Done by Errol Morris.
	He used to be, before he became a documentary filmmaker, he used to be a police detective, and he knows how to interrogate people, and he knows how to get their trust.
	And he talked to Robert McNamara for a couple of days and filmed it, made it the basis of that documentary.
	And he got Robert McNamara to say, That the Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag.
	That they made it into something that it wasn't.
	And he also got McNamara to say, yeah, you know, after the war, a few decades after the war, I went to Vietnam and we're meeting, they're sitting at the table with some of the people that had been on the other side during the Vietnam War and one guy gets up and he slams his fist on the table and he says, don't you know anything about history?
	We weren't the surrogates of the Chinese.
	We'd been fighting the Chinese for a thousand years.
	And of course they still are having disputes with the Chinese.
	This is domino theory.
	It's nonsense. And McNamara says, yeah, we were wrong on that.
	Well, guess what? Chris Christie is still using that kind of nonsense.
	I mean, we're back on the Republican side.
	We're back to the people who look exactly like Lyndon Johnson.
	You know, the Great Society Welfare State and the domino theory to justify foreign wars.
	Christie said, well, a majority of Republicans want us to be supporting Ukraine because those folks are fighting for their own freedom.
	Now, as a majority of Republicans who are in Washington, Christie, the big government Republicans that you know, it's not the grassroots people.
	All of us out here, outside of Washington, Christie, get this message loud and clear.
	All of us do not want this at all.
	The expense that is involved here?
	More money to Ukraine than all other countries combined, said Biden.
	The expense and you constantly provoking a nuclear war and World War III, we don't want that.
	There is no consensus for that in the Republican Party.
	Certainly not. Maybe in the Democrat Party, but not in the Republican Party.
	Christie went on to attack Trump.
	He said, and I agree with him on this.
	He said, at a campaign rally, Trump said, every time the radical left, Democrats, Marxists, communists, fascists indict me, I consider it to be a badge of honor and courage.
	I'm doing it for you.
	I'm being indicted for you.
	A suffering savior. The false messiah.
	He said, it's better me than you, right?
	They played that clip for him.
	Jake Tapper said, great badge of honor and courage.
	Better me than you? What do you think of that?
	Christie said, he's a liar and a coward.
	He's not getting indicted for anything other, anyone other than because of his own conduct.
	There's no other of the 200 million Americans he spoke about who illegally retained classified national secrets after being asked politely, quietly, and professionally for 18 months to voluntarily turn them back over after he left the White House.
	There's no other of those 200 million Americans who lied to their own lawyers about where those documents were.
	And there's none of those other 200 million Americans who lied to the prosecutors about it.
	And flashed around documents regarding an Iranian war plan to people who didn't have the clearance to see them.
	I don't know where he's getting this 200 million thing.
	I mean, I think population's like 330 million.
	But anyway, that's the bottom line.
	Yeah, he provoked this.
	He fleeced people.
	He entrapped them.
	And that was his own supporters.
	He called people on Main Street non-essential because he was making his Wall Street buddies essential.
	Yeah, he poisoned people for profit.
	So, yeah, I agree with Christie, but Christie was a coward for not going because, again, Christie, he doesn't have a campaign.
	He's just like Pence.
	And so when you look at this with Asa Hutchinson, The transgender issue.
	Asa Hutchinson, when he was asked about it, he said, Tucker, I hope we'll be able to talk about some issues.
	He doesn't think that's even something that needs to be talked about.
	That's how clueless Asa Hutchinson is.
	He doesn't even think the idea that we have come up with this novel new approach that we're going to start mutilating and sterilizing very, very young kids who don't have the judgment to do it.
	As a matter of fact, even adults are saying, what was going on?
	I was gaslighted with this stuff.
	They're grooming and gaslighting children.
	And Asa Hutchinson says, well, I hope we can get on to some real issues here.
	Wow. You're talking about somebody needs to just get out and get off the stage.
	Tim Scott, talking about the border, you can see he was also there.
	He said, well, that's a very difficult task to deport them all at one time.
	When Carlson asked him about deporting Biden's new flood of several million illegal aliens, he was very clear that illegals should not be allowed to get citizenship status that enables them to vote or whether or not politicians keep their jobs.
	So, Tucker kept asking him about it, and then Tim Scott said it'd be a very difficult task to find them.
	Except they've all got Biden phones and other things like that.
	It's not a difficult task to find them, especially because they're being given welfare checks as well.
	Somebody knows where to find them.
	When he was talking to Ron DeSantis, he said, he talked about the bag of cocaine and the White House.
	Ron DeSantis had a great line.
	He said, well, he says, porn doesn't belong in a fifth grade classroom.
	If you really want to see porn, just check out Hunter Biden's laptop.
	And then Tucker Carlson came back and says, is that available in your schools in Florida?
	He's like, So there was some humor there, back and forth.
	Again, he asked Rick Scott, what are the big issues on which you disagree with your donors?
	And Rick Scott evaded this, would not answer the question.
	But Ron DeSantis came out talking about that because that's been a big talking point by the mainstream media and the left and drudge about that.
	Oh, look, these billionaire donors and I've talked about that.
	I said, what does this tell you about the people who are the money behind the GOP? Well, it can't have anything to do with Ron DeSantis because look what he's doing.
	You know, he's pushing back against the perverts grooming kids in school.
	No, we can't have that. He's out there trying to defend innocent life with abortion, you know, restrictions and so forth.
	Oh, no, I can't support that.
	I'm going to not donate to him anymore.
	I said, what does that tell you about the GOP party and the rest of these people out there?
	And so DeSantis came out and he says, you know, I've got donors who are saying they didn't want to support me if I stood for life.
	It's been written about how I lost a lot of really big supporters.
	And, you know, more articles this weekend.
	About, you know, a billionaire who likes abortion and he likes grooming kids.
	And so I'm just going to pull this money back.
	You know, let's make an example out of DeSantis.
	You talk about these issues, you're not going to get any money from us.
	He goes on to say, I lost a lot of really big supporters.
	Some of them just aren't pro-life.
	Some of them think that it is a political liability.
	And at the end of the day, you get into office to be able to do what is right.
	And I've got to stand on principle, and you've got to say, why am I here?
	If you're here to contort yourself into a pretzel, to try to not have to take on the big issues, to take the political road that is easier to travel, you know, kind of like Asa Hutchinson.
	Can we talk about something that's a real issue here?
	You know, the usual stuff.
	Let's not get into this stuff.
	He says, then you're somebody, you're not somebody who is dependable.
	So we stood up and we did what was right, and we lost some support as a result of that.
	But I had a chance, if I had a chance to do it again, I'd do it every day of the week, he said.
	And so we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about what RFK Jr.
	said over the weekend about the virus, not about the shots.
	Very disappointing that he is now moving over to talk about the virus rather than talking about the Trump shots.
	What's going on with that?
	We'll be right back. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Christine, 1235, says, that whole Ukrainian crap pisses me off.
	Wish we could quit paying taxes.
	I'm tired of them using our money for wars.
	Why, me too. Me too.
	My son says, everyone, to paraphrase Chris Christie, everybody wants this war.
	Everybody I've talked to, the Ross Giles, the Clintons, George Soros, everybody.
	Yeah. Yeah, exactly right.
	Let's talk a little bit about RFK Jr.
	You know, last Friday I talked about the dinner in New York that you had two guys openly yelling and screaming at each other over climate change.
	One of them a skeptic, the other a true believer, and it escalated into flatulence.
	As a rhetorical tactic.
	I don't know what has to be gained with that.
	But that was pretty funny.
	But then at the same meeting, RFK Jr.
	said some things that everybody was talking about all over the weekend.
	At that same dinner, he's just...
	Sitting at dinner, and as a raconteur, he's entertaining everybody.
	It's like, hey, you know, I read this interesting thing on the internet.
	Let me give you... What is the matter with him?
	I mean, I remember years ago, I forget who it was that said it.
	There was somebody who was running for office, I think president.
	And some reporter asked him something.
	Well, if this were to happen, he says, I don't give hypothetical answers.
	Hypothetical questions. Next.
	Instead, he's throwing out radical ideas.
	And this is exactly what I was talking about with Jim Caviezel and his embrace of QAnon theories and adrenochrome stuff from years ago.
	And even if he's not saying it with the current promotion of this movie, even if he's not saying it, they're dredging all this stuff up.
	And using it, you know, putting, hanging that on him.
	Just as they're doing, going to do the same thing with RFK Jr.
	You know, last week, I was, on Friday, I had an article that I was going to talk about the fact that he's now talking so much about the China virus and the Wuhan lab and all the rest of this stuff.
	That's not the focus, folks.
	If you want to come out, as he said, COVID may have been ethnically targeted to spare Jews and the Chinese people.
	Well, I guess maybe also the Amish, you think?
	Because apparently the Amish didn't die from this at all.
	According to their statistics, which I don't believe anything they had to say about any of this stuff, according to them, the Amish...
	Had less casualties from all this stuff than either the Chinese or the Jews.
	So obviously, whoever was doing this was in cahoots with the Amish.
	Fauci loves the Amish.
	He decided he would come up with a virus that doesn't affect them.
	Why didn't it affect them?
	Well, because they didn't play along with the game.
	And because they didn't get the real bioweapon, the shot.
	That's the real bioweapon.
	They didn't put masks over their faces.
	They didn't cower in fear.
	They went about their normal lives and it didn't affect them.
	This was, I think, ethnically targeted to suckers.
	The suckers. The lockdowns and all the rest of the stuff.
	That had absolutely nothing to do with any of this.
	And we now know, and we have known for a long time, I've called it financially incentivized medical malpractice.
	They kill people. Trump incentivized the hospitals to kill people.
	He needs to talk about that.
	He needs to talk about the vaccine.
	That was what I was excited about, RFK Jr.
	entering the race, because I said even though there's four or five issues, any one of which he's on the wrong side of, that would cause me to not be able to support him or endorse him or vote for him in any way, shape, or form, You know, the fact that he was going to go out there and talk about the vaccines, I thought was a good thing.
	And now he has shifted over to talk about the lab.
	And the reason that that's being done, folks, is to distract attention away from the vaccine.
	Does he not understand that aspect of it?
	Or is he a part of that?
	So I had several people Say, hey, did you see what he just said?
	And I said, go back to him, I said, sad to see that he's losing his focus on the vaccine.
	The lab, in my opinion, is a distraction from what we know was lethal.
	The jab, the hospital protocols, the stats were just the annual flu vaccine narrative on steroids.
	And to focus on ethnic groups, it's just pure speculation at this point.
	So we know they've been working on ethnic bioweapons, but there's no proof of this either being more lethal than the flu or it being ethnically targeted.
	This is no more lethal than the flu.
	So is the flu being targeted towards different ethnic groups as well now?
	RFK? Seriously?
	They certainly openly targeted all kinds of different groups with their jab propaganda.
	RFKJ is going down the adrenochrome QAnon rabbit hole with this, and they will use it to discredit the truth about mRNA.
	That's the sad thing. I don't really care about RFK Jr.
	I don't care about his campaign.
	You know, I'm not going to vote for somebody who's strong on peace, but wants to allow abortions, mutilation, sterilization of kids, and all the rest of this stuff, because I don't want to go to war with God.
	And so I'm not going to support him on that.
	I don't support him on the Second Amendment or many other things.
	And he's got to, you know, you look at the climate, MacGuffin.
	He's a true believer in that.
	But he's a big believer in government.
	And, of course, we could look at his associations.
	How many times has he endorsed Hillary Clinton?
	How many plane flights has he taken with Jeffrey Epstein?
	There's so many things about RFK Jr.
	I cannot support. I could go on and on.
	But the bottom line is that his one real value, two real values, is to speak against the war and to speak against the vaccines.
	Now there's plenty of people who are speaking against the war.
	He was always better about speaking against the vaccine and about talking about the mRNA vaccine.
	And now he has just defecated all over himself with this.
	And over the truth.
	This is why I say, I wish people, and this is why I talk about it, you know, he's not going to listen to me, Jim Caviezel's not going to listen to me, but you listen to me, and don't pass along this stuff.
	Don't discredit yourself with lies that are stuck on top like a cherry.
	Oh, look at how bright red and attractive that is, right?
	The cherry on top, in many cases, is a plastic, you know, and it's not there as something that you ought to be trying to do anything with.
	I find it interesting, I said, that the people who talk about the bioweapon lab and gain-of-function typically don't do it in order to shut down gain-of-function research, but they do it to score political points.
	And to do ad hominem attacks against Fauci.
	And I understand what a bad guy Fauci is.
	And I understand how, since 1986, giving legal immunity to vaccine companies, the guy is totally evil.
	And he should be attacked.
	But understand that he's still gone, and we've still got the FDA, and we've still got the NIH, and they're still operating in the CDC, and they're still operating by all these rules.
	As a matter of fact, they're in cahoots now with the World Health Organization.
	And they want to make this into a global thing.
	Public health has turned itself into directly opposing individual health.
	And if there is no individual health, there is no public health.
	It's the same type of thing these clowns have been doing with the herd immunity.
	And we always said, look, if the vaccine works, you're fine.
	You take your vaccine. I won't.
	I'll make my own risk assessment here.
	Oh, no, but you've got to take your vaccine or I'm at risk.
	You see, that's the public health mentality.
	It's based on an illogical lie.
	You wear your seatbelt.
	If I wear my seatbelt, I'm not going to be protected.
	You wear your seatbelt so that I'll be protected.
	That type of thing. And so, even when you look at this and say, well, okay, it was set up to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.
	Well, then what was all this Shanghai lockdown about?
	After everybody else was finished with this stuff.
	Everybody else in every other country, not the public health officials, but they couldn't get away with it.
	Everybody else was saying, all right, we're done with this stuff.
	We're not going to wear your mask.
	We're not going to do the six-foot distancing and all the rest of the stuff.
	They knew they had played and overplayed their hand, and so they pulled back.
	But the Chinese, of course, in that totalitarian country, they don't have to worry about what the public says.
	So they wanted to...
	Show their power to the people in Shanghai because, you know, they're getting pretty prosperous and they have a lot of dealings with people in other countries.
	They might be getting some big ideas, so let's just lock them down and show them who's bossed.
	You know, she is boss.
	And so, you know, what is that about?
	Well, again, it's political.
	All these lockdowns were political from the very beginning.
	And it really disappoints me that he's going into this stuff again.
	We saw this with Rand Paul.
	And I criticized Rand Paul through all this stuff.
	I said, you know, Rand Paul would get Fauci on and go, Dr.
	Fauci, do you realize that you're creating vaccine hesitancy by pushing this?
	I was like, what?
	Dr. Fauci, if somebody like me has already contracted COVID, why do I need to get a vaccine?
	Come on. You are a doctor, Rand.
	And if you want to know where Rand is on all this stuff, hopelessly corrupt, frankly, in my opinion.
	He is a doctor.
	He knew this wasn't a pandemic.
	He knew all of this stuff was, you know, a bunch of superstition and political strong-arm tactics.
	And he also knew about Gilead.
	And he also knew about Remdesivir.
	And he's, you know, he's a...
	He's a doctor, and he failed in that.
	And he's a politician, and his ethics failed in that because he got his wife, his wife, to buy remdesivir stock.
	Gilead Pharmaceutical, the makers of remdesivir.
	Oh, they won't know it's me if I get my wife to do it.
	Yeah, good luck with that, Rand.
	Unbelievable. And so you're seeing the same type of stuff now.
	Rand constantly pushing things away from the vaccine, away from the pharmaceutical industry.
	And a lot of people point out, you know, hey, look, RFK, he's not anti-vaccine.
	And he's got a lot of connections to this stuff.
	Well, maybe they're right when you look at this.
	If he's going to start focusing on the lab stuff, and again, he's not saying we've got to shut down all gain-of-function because they might eventually get something that's dangerous.
	This wasn't dangerous to anybody.
	Ashkenazi Jews or Chinese or Amish people.
	What was dangerous was the vaccine.
	That was the bioweapon.
	And you start making something dangerous out of something that was nothing.
	So, again, you know that this is going to be...
	How can he be so naive to think that his statements were not going to be used to label him as anti-Semitic?
	I don't think he's anti-Semitic.
	I think he doesn't have any judgment.
	Or he's on the other side, frankly.
	We do know that the Chinese are spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing ethnic bioweapons, and we're developing ethnic bioweapons, he said.
	And they're collecting Russian DNA and they're collecting Chinese DNA so that we can target people by race.
	That is all true. That is all true.
	Now, Get people concerned about that.
	Get people concerned about the gain-of-function stuff.
	Let's shut this down before anything real happens.
	But then he goes on to say, and then they made it real.
	And he's got no proof of that.
	No proof whatsoever.
	And so everybody is hitting him for this.
	New York Post, then, to...
	Say, well, even if he's not anti-Semitic, he's feeding that.
	A 2020 Oxford University study found that nearly one in five British people believe that Jews created the coronavirus pandemic for financial gain.
	The coronavirus pandemic was created for financial gain.
	End of story. A lot of Jews profited from it.
	Non-Jews profited from it.
	It was for financial gain.
	It was for political gain.
	And talk about that instead of the gain of function.
	By all means, stop the gain of function stuff.
	And again, they were told to stop.
	Fauci was told to stop. Francis Collins was told to stop.
	They did it anyway. You have to get rid of these institutions because they're hopelessly corrupt.
	And they're not going to take orders.
	Fauci and Collins didn't want to take any orders on gain-of-function, just like you've got these state school boards and county school boards or whatever, and curriculum specialists, as well as all the way down to the classroom teacher.
	They're not going to obey your prohibitions of this stuff.
	They're going to do whatever they want.
	These are corrupt institutions.
	The bioweapon was the vax.
	Wharton Klein, president of the right-leaning Zionist Organization of America, said, this is crazy.
	It makes no sense that they would do that.
	I read everything. I was totally against the vaccine.
	I wanted to convince myself it was correct not to take it, and I've never seen anything like this.
	Again, it's ridiculous speculation.
	So then they continue to tar and feather RFK Jr.
	Next they go to Louis Farrakhan.
	And I say, well, he also met with notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.
	Well, yes, Louis Farrakhan is anti-Semitic.
	However, the reason they were meeting was because Louis Farrakhan was anti-vaccine.
	I've played clips of what he had to say about the vaccine.
	And he was spot on about that.
	And so, you know, that was the reason he was talking to him.
	But again, Kennedy's reply...
	Was to say on Saturday that this event had been off the record.
	But then the event organizer, Doug Deschert, who was the guy who got into the farting contest, told the New York Post that it was not off of the record.
	But that's a pathetic excuse from RFK Jr.
	Why are you just, well, you know, I heard this interesting theory and I kind of believe it, you know.
	What are you doing with that?
	Yeah, it doesn't affect the Amish, so I guess it must be the way that Fauci designed it, you think?
	No. So again, we have to exercise caution when we look at this stuff.
	You start telling people the truth about the vaccine, they'll add some lies about it, and then you repeat those lies.
	Because look, it is plausible, right?
	You know, who knows what they're doing in the gain-of-function labs?
	And it is known that, you know, they're collecting DNA from, you know, the Russians are collecting it on the Americans and the Chinese, and the Chinese are collecting it on, you know, and we're collecting it on everybody.
	That's a known thing.
	They're all paranoid about it.
	They believe that something could be done about that, but that doesn't mean that something has been done about it.
	If you jump the shark on this thing, Then what it does is it messes everything up.
	It's not just flatulence, it's defecation is what he just did on his own campaign.
	This is sent to me by a listener, Mike.
	Thank you for this. New York is going to ditch the Excelsior Pass.
	It's a COVID vaccine passport.
	And it's coming from USA Today.
	Reduced demand, they said.
	And the end of the health emergency.
	Yeah, there was no demand for it.
	There was no consumer demand for it at the beginning.
	There was a lot of consumer fear they were able to generate up.
	But as the consumers lost their fear, there was nothing left but their empty demands, and they couldn't enforce their empty demands anymore.
	You see, this whole thing ended as soon as everybody said, all right, we've had enough.
	Okay, well never mind. We cured it then, I guess.
	Yeah, that's it. That's it. We cured this thing.
	On July 28th, the COVID vaccine app, commonly called Excelsior Pass, will no longer be available on digital devices.
	They are going to discontinue it and remove it.
	Now here's an interesting aside on this.
	New York State had budgeted $2.5 million for this app.
	But the final price tag has ballooned to $64 million.
	About 32 times more expensive than it was supposed to be.
	Isn't that typical of government in every respect?
	And my son writes, blindly trusting the numbers, the numbers they give, without questioning anything, which seems to be what he's doing with this ethnic thing.
	Could be how RFKJ became such a climate nut.
	Yeah, he's got some serious judgment issues on that.
	Again, he's a naive believer in big government.
	You know, government's not a problem.
	We just got to get the right people, like me, in charge.
	You know, that type of thing. Narrowways Narrogate Ministries writes on Rumble, The masks, social distancing, and lockdowns were all witchcraft designed to train and condition the masses through fear to condition them for what's coming, which is much worse.
	Absolutely. I have said many times the only science in all this stuff was behavioral science.
	And they had that down to a science.
	Hobbit 52 says, What a dark time all this has been.
	The illustration of how stupid and how easily manipulated people are.
	That's right. He says, well, I'm in good shape as an unvaxxed Amish Chinese Ashkenazi.
	Well, that's a rare blood type.
	So, yeah, you get even more rare.
	And then another listener sends this to us out of New York, and he said, I loved the interview with the people out of New Jersey, a former feds group.
	Talking about the hospital death protocol.
	And he got the bracelet and actually says, here's a copy of my receipt.
	I actually bought this thing.
	And let me just say that.
	Anybody that didn't catch that show or that interview, we cut that interview out.
	We cut all the interviews out separately.
	But take a look at that because one of the best things about that, besides the fact that they're drawing attention to the hospital protocols, You know, we need to get people to understand the hospital protocols.
	We've got to change them. We've got to get people to understand the vaccine.
	And we've got to stop this vaccine that is out there.
	But there's something else that you can do.
	The bracelet that they sell is, it talks about the different, it says, warning, medical alert.
	This patient cannot be given or is allergic to.
	And it's an official bracelet.
	And it lists the key ingredients of this vaccine.
	And that is very important because information has come out that it's not just a theory that they'll give this to you without your approval.
	It is something that has actually been done in the past with people who were under anesthesia, as some doctors have pointed out.
	And when you look at...
	Hang on a second, I've got to get to the spot here where the interview is.
	The... There was an interview with a doctor who was a kidney specialist.
	He said, I was going to work on my patient, and I found that they had marked on their chart and said it was from me that they were going to give them the COVID vaccine.
	He said, furthermore, they highlighted it with blue to show they'd already been given and said it was ordered by me.
	It was not. This is why you need to have the bracelet.
	None of us know when we're going to go into the hospital.
	I think that's a really good idea.
	This is actually from Wine Press News.
	Are hospitals forcibly giving patients a COVID vaccine while under anesthesia?
	The key thing about the bracelet is that if you have that bracelet on there, it says this is a medical condition, you're not to give this to them.
	If they give you or the patient that, they're in big legal problems.
	And so they do pay attention to that.
	That's one of the best things you can do to ward off these vampires.
	Even better than a necklace of garlic or something, you know?
	Having that bracelet.
	Seriously. That is a big legal red flag to these people.
	And they may pay attention to that.
	More so than any directive that you may have or power of attorney stuff.
	That's why they do the medical kidnapping.
	Recently, a woman wrote in a blog post, she's scheduled to receive surgery later this year.
	Naturally, she'll have to be put under to perform the operation.
	She and her husband have not gotten any of the Trump shots.
	Neither do they have any intention of getting them in the future.
	However, there is a threat that she might be vaccinated without her consent while she is unconscious.
	Which, if this is an actual possibility, she plans to even forego the surgery.
	In 2021, a short piece titled Implications of Anesthesia and Vaccination was published by the NIH in 2021.
	It advocated for vaccinating patients while they are knocked out with anesthesia.
	The abstract reads, in part, the current COVID-19 pandemic has had global impact on vaccination rates.
	Delays in routine health care and immunization have led to rise in concerns about the resurgence of these diseases.
	So one approach would be the consideration of perioperative vaccinations.
	In other words, around the time of the operation, maybe before, after, during, you know, whatever, right?
	Around that time. However, the effects of anesthesia and surgery on the immune response and complications associated with vaccination during the perioperative period are still poorly understood, and opinions are divided.
	Well, hey, you know, if we can vaccinate pregnant women, I'm sure that we can do it to people that we've just given anesthesia and other things to without their consent.
	And so on Wine Press, I say, as far as I know, there haven't been any known instances of this actually happening.
	However, in early 2010, A medical doctor who worked in a big city hospital, remember this is 2010, like 10 years before this stuff, reported that this was going on with the flu vaccine.
	And you understand the flu vaccine game that they ran every year was what they did with the Trump shots.
	They just put it on steroids.
	And they ran all this stuff to scare everybody and lock everybody down to force this out and then mandated it.
	Those are the things that were different.
	But they played all this statistics game every year with the flu.
	Did everything they could to get everybody to take the flu.
	So the flu shot.
	And so then they elevated it.
	To this dark winter type of thing.
	So, S. Humphreys, MD, wrote, I am a licensed board-certified nephrologist, otherwise known as a kidney specialist, working in a large city-based hospital because I rarely admit patients to the hospital other than for specific procedures such as kidney biopsy.
	I only recently became aware of my hospital's policy regarding flu shots for sick people.
	Again, this is 2010. Waking up to this new rule made me realize that Big Pharma is getting closer and closer to bypassing doctors completely to deliver direct patient care.
	We have an elaborate electronic charting system at our hospital.
	All of the medications and procedure orders are placed into the patient's records by doctors and nurses so that every person has access to everything that is happening with the patient.
	A few weeks ago, I arrived to see my first patient of the day, a patient with a kidney ailment that leaks protein and usually progresses to complete kidney shutdown.
	When I opened her electronic chart, I expected my section to be empty.
	Instead, I saw an order for an influenza vaccine with my name on it.
	Even more shocking was that the order was highlighted bright blue, meaning that the shot had already been given.
	I thought perhaps I'd opened the wrong chart or some sort of mistake had been made, but it was the right file.
	Her name in the upper left-hand corner and my electronic signature was on the page after the order.
	My patient with kidney failure and an autoimmune disorder had been given a flu shot without my consent.
	Wow. That was 2010.
	Things have gotten much worse now.
	So again, take a look at that bracelet.
	And I'll just say one more thing before we take a break here.
	And this is pointed out by the Exposé News out of the UK. They said, when you look at, and I hadn't thought about this, when you look at these, you know, the VAERS database and other stuff, we've talked about the fact that Virtually all of the deaths and injuries come from only about 4% of the vaccine lots,
	right? And we talked about the fact that the active ingredients varied from 3, I think it was micrograms, up to 100, varied by a factor of 33.
	And so you've got this radical change in terms of concentration.
	The higher concentrations that we know are associated with certain lots, whether it was by design or whether it was by neglect, Or whether this is part of an experiment.
	Either way, it's varied by a factor of 33, and 4% of the lots are nearly 100% of all the adverse injuries and deaths.
	But this is what I had not thought about.
	And they made the case.
	They said, so, why hasn't Pfizer or Moderna or the FDA or the UK National Health Service, why haven't any of these organizations removed those lots?
	As far as we can tell, those fatal lots...
	Are still in circulation.
	Yeah, a word to the wise.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Let's talk a little bit about Hollywood.
	We have now not just a writer's strike, but an actor's strike.
	Good! As a matter of fact, Barry Diller, the head of a big media conglomerate who's previously been the CEO for Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Weighed in on the state of the industry.
	So we're going to talk about that. He's not too upset to see the movie industry go away.
	Neither am I. Before we get into it, I just want to get to some of the comments and tips.
	Thank you very much on Rock Fan Max B. Thank you for the tip.
	It says, Good morning, Knight family.
	Bills this week, but still put something toward the gas gauge when possible.
	Thank you so much. I appreciate that.
	Angus Mustang, responding to Mark Daroba, says, I know people who never trusted Big Pharma until the COVID backs.
	And then they got jabbed.
	Yeah, that's right. Yeah, me too.
	It's amazing. And then Greg Moffle, China.
	A good example of what this government really wants with us.
	That's right. Following that as a blueprint.
	Funny how that fear porn worked its magic.
	Shevken says homeless did not get sick other than sick on dope.
	That's right. My son says the bracelet works better than apples for keeping big pharma away.
	Yeah, that's an important thing. That was a great idea, and And it is very official-looking, and it's worded in the appropriate way.
	And that is kind of, you know, one thing that you can do to try to keep them away with that.
	Foggy Trail says, when the mainstream media showed Chinese folks walking down the sidewalk suddenly collapsing, everybody should have known it was a scam.
	That was a big tell.
	Even if you didn't know what they'd done every year with the vaccine stuff, that was a big tell.
	Flying Axe Blade In-N-Out Burger.
	Hooray is requiring doctor's notices from employees to wear masks at work.
	Plus one burger joints.
	So, good.
	I'm assuming, since I know that they're kind of conservative, you're not going to wear a mask here unless you've got a doctor's note saying that you've got to wear it.
	That's good. That's the way it ought to go.
	Try to bring people back to their senses.
	Brian Taylor, they should be able, they should be in big trouble if you have a bracelet or not, how they can give you something when you can't give them consent.
	That's right, but, you know, that's what the medical kidnapping was about, a large part of that.
	Take that away from family who were looking at what was happening.
	And Chris, info on where to get the bracelet came in at the very end.
	Take a look at, you know, it was...
	I don't break it down on the thing, but you can go to the site.
	If you go to the interview in the description, it's got a link to the website address of the former Fed Group.
	I don't have the exact web address on the top of my head, but you can see it if you go to one of our video channels or if you go to the podcast, you can see that in the description.
	The podcast, it is still in the description for the podcast, you know, for both the interview as well as for the full show.
	And on all the video sites, we have the full show as well as the podcast.
	And so you should be able to find there's a couple of different One of them was about the campaign to inform people about the hospital death protocol and their billboard campaign that's there.
	That is a sub-project of the former Feds group, just as a bracelet is.
	But you should be able to find both of those there.
	Let's talk a little bit about what's going on with Hollywood.
	Uh, so Diller is saying, uh, it's a perfect storm.
	COVID sent people home to watch streaming TV and to kill theaters.
	Uh, COVID didn't do anything.
	It was the orders that people did in the name of COVID. Trump sent people home to watch streaming television and kill the theaters if you wish.
	You've had the results of huge investments in streaming, which have produced all these losses for all these companies, and now they're kind of retrenching.
	So at this moment, it's kind of a perfect storm.
	And then Barry Diller, who, again, as I pointed out, he's been CEO for both Paramount and then later for 20th Century Fox.
	He said, so who cares about Hollywood anyway?
	I'm going to say it better than myself after putting it in there.
	So yeah, it is, he said it could lead to an absolute collapse.
	So we'll keep our fingers crossed.
	Disney CEO Bob Iger says, I don't want Disney drawn into any culture wars.
	I'm not bad.
	I'm just drawn that way.
	Yeah, okay. So he's not bad.
	He was just drawn that way.
	The cartoon sexpot.
	That was a Disney thing as well.
	Yeah, the dragons.
	He said, the last thing I want for Disney is for the company to be drawn into any culture wars.
	Yeah, that's kind of like Hitler saying, the last thing I want is to be drawn into a war with Poland, right?
	You kicked it off!
	You were the instigator of this stuff, Disney, Iger.
	The company was within its rights to do what we did, even though I'm not sure it was handled very well, he says.
	But it was within its rights to speak up on an issue.
	You did more than speak up.
	You groomed kids, and you're still grooming kids.
	You're still putting this content in all of your films, your streaming stuff as well.
	Then we look at the box office, we see Mission Impossible didn't perform like the previous installment in 2018.
	And even Roger Friedman, who is an establishment movie guy, Says, oh, the big hit is The Sound of Freedom.
	He calls it a controversial Christian movie.
	Why is that a controversial movie?
	They made it a controversial movie.
	And again, they went back and they picked up Caviezel's earlier comments a couple of years ago about QAnon and things like that.
	And the question is, why did Disney leave this on the shelf?
	Why didn't they put it out? $85 million box office so far.
	And so people are looking at this and saying, wow, you know, we've got these big franchises like Mission Impossible and Indy 5.
	I mean, really beat Indy 5 on a per-screen average.
	And Mission Impossible is not doing as well as they expected, but it's actually building, Sound of Freedom is, on a lot of publicity.
	It's gone up to, depending on who you ask, $83, $85 million.
	So, a very profitable film.
	As one person writes, the character that this is based on, Tim Ballard, is a hero, says the Utah Attorney General.
	And as he's hitting back against media attacks against the sound of freedom, he said, Tim Ballard is a hero.
	No other way to characterize him, said the Utah Attorney General, Reyes.
	He was a very respected and successful special agent for Homeland Security.
	He was effective at combating things like child pornography and child predators.
	He said he worked with him.
	That's why he's speaking out about that.
	But then, here's the problem.
	And again, it goes back to discernment.
	I said before, I believe...
	That Caviezel is very sincere in what he does.
	But I believe that he's got horrible discernment.
	And a good example of this is the fact that as he's out there saying, you know, I've got all these people in Hollywood that are trying to destroy my life.
	I've got people speculating about death threats.
	He doesn't say that he's received any death threats.
	But he talks about spiritual opposition and all the rest of this stuff.
	And yet, he's talking about this in an interview that With Michael Flynn.
	And again, does he not know?
	Does he not know about Flynn?
	Does he not know about how Flynn has pushed this grooming stuff and this LGB transgender stuff from the very beginning, back in 2014?
	You know, pushing and grooming this Navy SEAL, Chris Beck, who they talked him into being Kristen Beck for a while.
	And it's sad to see this.
	Does Jim Caviezel not know about Michael Flynn going around holding his phony revivals and copying the prayers from Elizabeth Clare Prophet, this false prophetess from the 1980s who was leading this nuclear cult campaign?
	This is a pagan prayer, and he's going around, Michael Flynn is going around reading this thing as if it was his, involved in plagiarizing this from somebody else, and what he plagiarized was pure New Age B.S. Does Caviezel not know any of this stuff?
	Listen to this. You never scared me.
	You don't scare me now. And it's also, I just want to say, I love General Flynn.
	Yeah. And how he gave his life.
	And guys like that inspire me.
	Warriors. Yeah, look at that. SEAL teams that I work with.
	Mm-hmm. The SEAL teams. Not the media.
	Yes, there's good media. Like Laura Logan.
	Like Laura Logan?
	Are you kidding me? That's his...
	Laura Logan and General Flynn.
	See, he's so deep into this Q stuff.
	He has no idea what he's talking about.
	And again, you know, I like him.
	But you've got to understand, he played Jesus.
	He's not Jesus. Stop making him into this.
	He's just an actor.
	He's got a good heart.
	He adopted a bunch of kids who had health issues for an adoption.
	They're now in their 20s.
	He's done some really great things, and I don't want to trash him as an individual.
	What he's doing with this is, you know, he has absolutely no idea who Flynn is.
	And he talks about the SEALs.
	And I showed you a picture there.
	Kristen Beck. That was 2014.
	That was the second Pride Month of the Pentagon.
	And as the head of Defense Intelligence Agency, Michael Flynn had this big piece done about how this Navy SEAL, who now is a woman, and how we need to all celebrate this as part of Pride Month.
	This is what you want to hold up as a Christian?
	Jim Caviezel?
	Is that really what you want to hold up?
	Seriously? He's opposed to everything that you believe, and you have no discernment.
	Sound of Freedom movie says vaccine impact allegedly funded by billionaire philanthropists with ties to human trafficking.
	Yeah, this is part of the problem.
	But, you know, and again, we should take a look at this, but understand that whenever you see somebody who is, when you've got the people who are providing the money for these movies, Does the actor know what's really going on with this stuff?
	It's based on a true story.
	He's doing the true story.
	I hold him responsible for the QAnon baloney that he's putting out there.
	And by putting out the QAnon baloney and standing with people like Flynn and Laura Logan, he's essentially hurting the narrative that he wants to put out there about child trafficking.
	And he does know what's happening with that.
	He doesn't necessarily know the people who are several different levels and above that in terms of the financing.
	But this guy, John Paul DeGioia, executive producer of Sound of Freedom, is a philanthropist invited by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to become part of the Billionaire Giving Pledge, which funded the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
	And also ties to Carlos Slim.
	You're going to find this all the time, though, in terms of the people who are funding these films.
	They've got a lot of money, and so you're going to find that if they've got a lot of money, they're typically going to be involved in these types of things.
	Not to excuse it, I'm just saying that it doesn't necessarily contaminate that or the film.
	In the same way that you're going to have actors out there.
	We all know what Hollywood is like.
	And so you probably go through and find a lot of people who were working on the movie in other capacities and say, you realize what these people are into?
	And they're probably into some really heinous stuff.
	But if you're going to team with these, if you're going to go to these, what was it?
	The Reawaken America tours or something like that.
	If you're going to go there and you're going to speak at this, and if you're going to hold, and this is the other thing, Jim Caviezel is going to be, there's going to be a Trump screening in New Jersey, his Bedminster place.
	And Caviezel will be there.
	If you're going to hold up Trump, if you're going to hold up Michael Flynn, Laura Logan, QAnon, all the rest of this stuff, If you're going to hold that up, it's going to just undo everything that you've done in the same way that RFK Jr.
	is undoing everything that he had done that was good about awakening people to mRNA by then adding this ridiculous detail to it.
	And if you want to know what's really happening with the trafficking, this is another article from healthimpact.com.
	JPMorgan Chase files a notice of appeal And the Jeffrey Epstein case to prevent all future lawsuits against the child sex trafficker.
	So just take a look at this.
	Pull this article up and show people this rogues gallery that is there.
	All the people, big people, who have been involved with Jeffrey Epstein and going across the pictures there, upper row, left side.
	That's CIA Director William Burns, Epstein.
	Thomas Pritzker, Executive Chairman of the Hyatt Hotel in the Pritzker family.
	The governor of Illinois is part of the Pritzker family, Governor Pritzker, and He's got a cousin who is a tranny himself, and the Pritzker family has been one of the founding philanthropies behind all this transgender stuff, and connected to Epstein.
	Then you've got Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google.
	Larry Page, the other co-founder of Google.
	Mort Zuckerman. Real estate billionaire who owns U.S. News and World Report.
	On the bottom row there, you've got Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, President Trump, and RFK Jr., the Epstein Club.
	And that's just some of them.
	But now because they caught up, JPMorgan got caught up in the financing of this, and because there was a trial about that, The corporate news has reported there's been a settlement reached at $290 million between JPMorgan Chase Bank and the victims who are suing Chase Bank for funding Epstein's child sex trafficking network.
	At least one of their executives was very heavily involved with Epstein.
	Jamie Dimon is probably a better way to pronounce his name.
	Was saying that that was just that guy.
	You know, the institution was not involved.
	Yes, we'll pay up $290 million, but we were not really involved.
	Well, financial hobby at Health Impact News.com says Martins is a former Wall Street insider and a true investigative reporter and looked at what was going on.
	Not only are Chase Banks attorneys challenging the settlement, they're proposing language in their appeal that would potentially prevent anyone else from ever suing Epstein's associates.
	Including potentially preventing government officials such as state attorney generals and their right to sue Epstein associates for crimes committed in their state.
	This would be a huge blow to the victims of Epstein's child sex trafficking atrocities and their ability to sue any of Epstein's former associates who may have potentially participated in this child sex trafficking crime syndicate, which includes most of the leaders of the US today.
	Including former U.S. presidents and current U.S. presidential candidates.
	Now, I don't know how you can stop the state attorney's general with this stuff.
	But the bottom line is, there is a massive conspiracy to keep all this stuff quiet.
	You can send, as we pointed out before, many people pointed out, Max, you know, His female associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
	She can be sent to jail, but we can't see the people that were involved in all this.
	They're protected in every direction.
	At this point, he says, I think it's fair to ask the question, is there anybody in a position of power in the U.S. today who's not been a party of Epstein's child sex trafficking network?
	Now it turns out that the case is not actually settled, that they have, with their 1,000-attorney law firm representing in the matter, Wilmer Hale, they've quietly filed a petition to appeal the decision.
	The bank and its lawyers don't like the fact that the judge took the claims of the one plaintiff, Jane Doe No.
	1, and certified them into a class-action lawsuit on behalf of a large group of Epstein victims.
	Another Machiavellian aspect of this legal maneuver is that JPMorgan Chase and Wilmer Hale wanted this petition to appeal to be held under seal and in abeyance until the court granted final approval to the settlement.
	But that's not scheduled until November the 9th, 2023, and on and on.
	They're going to do everything they can to keep this all quiet and to keep people from seeing what is actually happening here.
	The intelligence agencies who are involved in the child trafficking and blackmail, that is what is going on.
	That's what the CIA has been involved in, and that's what Epstein was involved in, the CIA, Mossad, these different organizations setting up stuff to blackmail people.
	And that type of activity by the intelligence agencies goes back to about the point the CIA was created.
	There was an article a couple of weeks ago about one of the early CIA programs.
	Where they were trying to, you know, had a honeypot trap where they were trying to trap people for blackmail.
	They would get guys in, they had hookers, they had LSD. Get these guys tripped out of their mind, they don't know what they're doing, and they take pictures of them and blackmail them with it.
	This is the way all these intelligence agencies operate.
	And you've got to understand that the groups that are really running our governments are the intelligence agencies.
	It's just that simple.
	The Joker Ace says, when I was young, I thought Amish to be weirdos, but over many years, I've come to see the wisdom of their ways.
	Smart people, really. Because at this point, we really do have to start questioning if these election technologies are collectively, systematically, destroying us as a species.
	That's true. I think the thing about the Amish that makes them successful, I mean, I don't agree with their theology.
	I don't see myself justified before God by the clothes that I wear or the activities that I engage in.
	I never really understood that.
	But over time, I've come to understand their focus on families.
	And that is a very important thing.
	And that's one of the things that has served Jewish people well, served Amish people well.
	The idea that they value the family.
	Our civilization is coming apart because we don't care about the family.
	And a big part of that, again, goes back to the CIA. I talked about Gloria Steinem briefly last week, just mentioned her in passing.
	And the fact that she was brought in by the CIA. She loved the CIA. Oh, no, they're really good.
	They're very liberal. They're very positive because she was brought in as a propagandist for radical feminism.
	Why? Well, because the CIA wanted to destroy the family.
	They want totalitarian rule.
	And what you want to do with totalitarian rule is you want to get rid of any organizations that are in your way.
	You want to get rid of the church. You want to get rid of the family, and on and on and on.
	In the same way, when the Federal Reserve comes in, they want to have a central bank digital currency.
	They want to get rid of cash.
	They want to get rid of crypto. You don't want to have any competition with any of these things.
	And every dictator...
	And want to be a dictator, going back to Plato and Plato's Republic knows that what you've got to do is you've got to get rid of the family.
	And you've got to get rid of the church and all the rest of this stuff.
	And so that's one of the things that has served the Amish well.
	And it also, I think the fact that they have been able to maintain their independence because they grow their own food.
	By keeping things simple, They have been able to create self-sufficiency and not be dependent on other people.
	You see, the issues of globalism that have now come to the surface We look at our trade back and forth between the U.S. and China, and you have the American government says, well, I don't want China to get those high-tech chips, so we're not going to allow them to get that.
	And China said, well, if you don't allow us to have the high-tech chips, we're going to cut off your germanium and other things that are necessary for semiconductor use.
	We're going to cut off supplies, rare-earth minerals and lithium and things like that, so you can't make your electric vehicles.
	And so you have these interdependencies that are set up.
	And yeah, it can deliver material goods like we haven't seen before.
	But the supply chains, the more complicated and longer these supply chains get, the more fragile society becomes.
	The Amish don't have any supply chains.
	And so they don't have any chains on them at all.
	They're self-sufficient.
	They have connections within their family and in their community.
	And that's what they're focused on, their family and their community.
	This is the same type of thing that Jefferson always said.
	He said, in order for us to have the kind of republic, we have to have an agrarian society.
	And the Amish are living proof of that.
	We as Americans, even if we did not have the Chinese, we have still such a distributed, specialized situation because, again, we've got very complicated devices and other things like that that we've built our society upon, this complicated technology.
	And I know I sound like a Luddite because I loved technology at one point in time, but now I've come to regard technology, which has completely been taken over by the government, as Eisenhower warned us.
	It's a military-industrial complex and academic complex.
	You put academic in there, we've moved that out, you see.
	The universities are intent on destroying our society and our families as well.
	The Marxists really did march through the institutions, and they really did take them all over.
	And there's not really much we can do except to take the kind of attitude that the Amish have done, and that is to work on our self-sufficiency, to simplify our lifestyle, so that we're not dependent even on these massive supply chains within our own country, let alone other countries.
	This global supply thing is going to be our downfall.
	And so there's wisdom in that.
	But we can take that wisdom.
	We don't necessarily, you know, have to take it to the way they dress or to their theology or that other kind of stuff.
	But we can see what works. An agrarian society that is locally based with strong families.
	But again, that is going to ultimately boil down to your faith foundation.
	So, Audi MRR. I hope you had a good indie weekend.
	I tweeted out about it, but again, Modern Retro Radio.
	It says, Congress's exemption from vax mandate should have been a red flag to everyone.
	Yep, that's right.
	And it should be a red flag to everybody that they've exempted themselves from everything.
	You know, we really have crossed the Rubicon, haven't we?
	You know, we have people, Republicans as well as Democrats, the grassroots.
	You know, we are the ones who crossed the Rubicon.
	It's not Caesar this time, right?
	It's not even so much the guys at the top.
	We've crossed the Rubicon. We don't want Trump held accountable for his crimes.
	We don't want Biden held accountable for his crimes, depending on which tribe you're in, right?
	You know, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, they still believe the same things in general.
	They believe their guy as president should be above the law.
	Well, there's a word for that.
	A king, a dictator, Caesar, a czar, you know, all these terms, czar and Kaiser, all the rest of these things that comes from Caesar.
	And we have crossed the Rubicon.
	We don't want to have a nation where you have temporary stewards elected who are subordinate to a constitution and a legal system that is king.
	These people want to be dictators.
	And they want, you know, you look at both Biden and Trump.
	Rule by executive order.
	Trump doing gun control by executive order.
	Locking us down by executive order.
	Biden mandating vaccines by executive order.
	Mandating... Student loan forgiveness by executive order.
	All this stuff. Trump was saying, oh, you're not going to have any foreclosures or evictions.
	How do you do that?
	We want that.
	Oh, yeah. Democrats and Republicans, for the most part, want that.
	And they also want their guy that they like to not be held accountable for violating any laws.
	They believe the president should be above the law.
	That's not our form of government.
	That's a king. That's a dictator.
	That's a Caesar. They can claim that the lockdown killed theaters, says my son, but movies that don't go along with their woke nonsense seem to be doing fine.
	Was it really the lockdown or was it their awful writing?
	Yeah, yeah. It's their worldview that nobody wants, and nobody wants to have that shoved down.
	It's not about entertainment anymore, right?
	It's about pushing, pushing, and they're not even subtle about it.
	You know, at one point in time, they could still push this stuff, but they could be subtle enough about it that it wasn't hammering you in the face.
	But nobody wants to be, you know, hammered with this garbage and pay to do it.
	SolarCat says, good point, David.
	Dependence on a supply chain is a chain.
	It is a restriction that prevents independence.
	That's right. That's right.
	Audi MRR says, yeah, 100% right that the intelligence agencies are the head of the snake.
	They certainly are. Angus Mustang, thank God, Holly Weird is on strike.
	Who cares? They haven't made anything on TV or a movie that's worth watching in years.
	My sentiment? Exactly.
	We will be right back.
	Unlike most revolutions, where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
	It is, however, not nearly so abstract as a young gentleman supposes.
	The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
	Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Oh, good evening.
	I was just about to send greetings to an old friend.
	I'm sure modern civilized methods of homicide are much more efficient, but I don't care for them.
	And look, I guess in a certain way I'm the father of the vaccine because I was the one that pushed it.
	It's our beautiful base of which some of you are there.
	You get angry when we mention the word vaccine.
	Don't get angry. Yeah, don't get angry.
	It's just the MacGuffin, right?
	I got a kick out of seeing this on LifeSite News.
	And this is from Thursday.
	How the World Economic Forum response to climate change is virtually the same as their COVID approach.
	That's what I've been saying for the longest time.
	The COVID MacGuffin, the climate MacGuffin, the MacGuffin doesn't matter.
	You know, it's just there to motivate the characters.
	It doesn't matter if they're chasing the Maltese Falcon or something else, but it's something that gets the characters going.
	And, you know, the end game is the thing.
	They write from COVID contact tracing and vaccine passports to carbon footprint tracking and measuring.
	The end goal is practically identical.
	It is. It is.
	They've had this climate MacGuffin for 53 years.
	And they wanted to do all the same stuff with the COVID MacGuffin.
	The end goal is identical, to develop the technological foundation to track and trace every person and object on the planet in order to incentivize, coerce, and otherwise manipulate individual human behavior.
	I would say that is the penultimate goal.
	The ultimate goal is depopulation.
	The control of people who are alive Is the secondary thing.
	The ultimate thing is to depopulate the earth, right?
	So that's one level below it.
	But that is the MacGuffin that we're chasing.
	Kill people. Population control.
	And that includes, at the top of that, is depopulation control.
	And so what got their attention was the World Economic Annual Forum of the New Champions, the Summer Davos, which took place in China last month.
	And I played a clip from this one section for you that was about carrots and sticks.
	And they referred to, and that's the name of the session, how to stay within planetary boundaries.
	Planetary boundaries.
	Carrot or stick.
	Now, they're not yet saying that carbon dioxide makes us float off of the planet.
	That's not the planetary boundaries that they're talking about yet.
	But they talked about the director of the Chinese NGO Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs.
	The guy's name was Ma Jun.
	Ma Jun. Isn't this funny?
	We got one guy that's named Xi and another guy that's named Ma.
	And, of course, before Xi...
	It was a guy named Hu Hu.
	Hu was on first, by the way.
	He said the Chinese people were aware of tangible things like air and water pollution that they could experience with their own senses.
	Oh, yes, you experience that really big in China.
	You can experience that pollution big time.
	Wuhan. Air is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
	But they were less aware of climate issues.
	In other words, their carbon footprints, he said.
	And we've got to make them aware of this.
	He said in China, people's awareness on the ecological side and on the pollution control side is much higher than the climate side.
	And just remember that when people like Paul Ehrlich, again, who was a depopulationist, his claim to fame was the population bomb that he wrote that book.
	He's one of the big movers and shakers behind Earth Day.
	And on the very first Earth Day in 1970, we've got to get rid of all the cars, we've got to get rid of all the people and all the rest of this stuff.
	And it's always been about that.
	But then they got Nixon to create the EPA, and that was going to just clean up pollution.
	Everybody's in favor of cleaning up pollution.
	But then it became the agency that was going to push this global warming stuff.
	And that's what he's saying in China.
	He said, in China, people can see pollution and they can, you know, because it's really bad in China.
	And they'd like to get that cleaned up.
	So now we've got to switch them with this behavioral psychology into buying into the climate side.
	We're still lagging behind regions like Europe, which can have such a high level of public awareness, which can support very, very tough public policy on the climate side.
	Yeah. Why are they even worried about this in China?
	I mean, they're exempt from the Paris Climate Accord, right?
	You want to talk about global warming, and yet you're going to exempt China and India, the two biggest populations on Earth?
	And they're exempted from this.
	But, of course, he wants to do the bidding of his globalist masters.
	And so, anyway, at one point, he holds up a cup of water, And he says that emerging technology will allow us to trace this cup of water's carbon footprint from cradle to the gate and on to the grave.
	He said with emerging technology, people also could take a picture of a cup and could find all kinds of information about its entire life cycle while measuring its carbon footprint.
	But of course, that's not going to be limited to inanimate objects.
	It's going to be... It's about us.
	It's the other part of the population control.
	Klaus Schwab. Back in 2017 in his book, The Fourth Industrial Protocol, any package, pallet, or container can now be equipped with a sensor, transmitter, or radio frequency ID, RFID, tag that allows a company to track where it is as it moves through the supply chain, how it is performing, how it's being used, and so forth.
	In the near future, similar monitoring systems will also be applied to the movement and the tracking of people.
	And of course, that's what it's all really about.
	The Internet of Things, and the Internet of Things, you are one of those things that they want to track, because you are nothing more than their possession as they see it.
	And so over the weekend, we had, I think it was on Saturday that this hit.
	Yeah, let's see, Friday it was.
	She was speaking on Friday. The news got out on Saturday.
	Lala Harris went to a university in Baltimore, Maryland, and she had a Freudian slip.
	She said, when we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and we reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water, she said.
	And they said, well, she meant to say, reduce pollution.
	Of course, these people have always been about reducing population.
	That has been, as I pointed out from the very beginning, Paul Ehrlich, that's been the philosophical basis of it.
	My friends who bought into Earth Day on the very first day, they were just always, oh, we shouldn't have any kids.
	Kids are bad. We've got too many kids on Earth as it is.
	All the stuff that you hear coming from people like Greta and AOC and all the rest of them now all the time.
	The British government, by the way, is going to now, they're funding a campaign to memory hole any dissent on climate science on Wikipedia.
	If there was any truth left on Wikipedia, they're going to get rid of it.
	And I don't know if there's anything left on there anyway.
	Major rewriting of the science published on Wikipedia, skeptical of the so-called settled climate narrative, being funded by a number of governments from Scandinavia and the UK. So...
	The group is called the Stockholm Environment Institute, SEI. Oh, sounds like SEIU, this socialist union organization in the United States, but it's different.
	SEI notes that the Wikipedia articles usually appear at the top of the internet search results, and the site plays a key role in helping promote climate change knowledge.
	You see, they're very strategic in what they do.
	As I pointed out many times when I went to the American Meteorological Society's meeting in Austin, they had a Soros organization there lecturing the meteorologists that do the weather.
	And they said, you know, people look to you and they trust you.
	I don't know why, because they don't usually get the predictions all that right.
	But they trust you.
	And so we need you to push this.
	The problem is most of you don't believe this, they said.
	And they're right. I mean, you go back and you look at the Weather Channel founder who is now deceased, but remember this interview?
	Mr. Kenny is not a scientist.
	I am. He's the CEO of the Weather Channel now.
	I was the founder of the Weather Channel, not the co-founder.
	And I'm glad you did, because I am addicted to the Weather Channel.
	I watch a lot of cable news.
	I'm talking now. Hold on just a minute.
	I'm not done. And CNN has taken a very strong position on global warming that is a consensus.
	Well, there is no consensus in science.
	Science isn't a boat.
	Science is about facts.
	And if you get down to the hard, cold facts...
	There's no question about it.
	Climate change is not happening.
	There is no significant man-made global warming now.
	There hasn't been any in the past, and there's no reason to expect any in the future.
	There's a whole lot of baloney, and yes, it has become a big political point of the Democratic Party and part of their platform, and I regret it's become political instead of scientific.
	But the science is on my side.
	I don't think we're going to come to a conclusion about the topic right here.
	What I do wonder, though, is when you see... Well, I know we're not, because you wouldn't allow it to happen on CNN, but I'm happy that I got on the air and got a chance to talk to your viewers.
	Hello, everybody. There is no global warming.
	What I do wonder is when you see the government, when you see NASA, when you see other institutions say that 97% of climate scientists agree Do you think they're making it up?
	What I don't understand is how you square that.
	Well, that's a manipulated figure, and let me explain it to you.
	The government puts out about $2.5 billion directly for climate research every year.
	It only gives that money to scientists who will produce scientific results that support the global warming hypothesis of the Democrat Party of precision.
	So... They don't have any choice.
	If you're going to get the money, you've got to support their position.
	Therefore, 97% of the scientific reports published support global warming.
	Why? Because those are the ones the government pays for and that's where the money is.
	It's real simple.
	But that doesn't mean it's right.
	That doesn't make it true.
	That only makes it bought and paid for.
	The money goes in circles.
	I'm not a scientist. I'm not going to try to repeat you on the facts.
	Well, that's the truth. And so please stand back from this issue and let the two sides be on the air.
	Yeah, that's the truth.
	You're not a scientist. Yeah, science is based on skepticism, as I've always said.
	Francis Bacon, when he came up with the scientific method, he said, we don't want to base science on academia, on authorities.
	Oh, well, look at this prestigious organization, Harvard, or we got Oxford or whatever, right?
	Oh, well, I'm very impressed with that name.
	And so anybody that's from there, whatever they say, we go with that.
	No, that is not science.
	And science has only advanced when somebody has gone against the consensus.
	And so consensus doesn't mean anything in science.
	As a matter of fact, it usually means that you're wrong.
	And one of the people that's involved with this SEI organization, for example, Audi MRR says, well, that's his time ever on CNN. Now, the only time that he'd get on there, but he put it to good use.
	He really did. One of the people on here, one of their content experts that they're going to have going through and memory-holing information on Wikipedia, And controlling the narrative is Christy L. Eby from the University of Washington, who has the curious notion that rising concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are, quote, affecting the nutritional quality of our food, unquote.
	If you look at what Biden is now talking about, blocking out the sun, And not only, you know, we've got to cut down all CO2, and we know better what level of CO2 needs to be out there.
	So we're going to sequester it.
	We're going to, you know, pump it into the ground, all the rest of the stuff.
	You take away CO2, you take away sunlight, I don't have a green thumb for sure, but I know that's going to kill plant life, which is, you know, the bottom of our food chain.
	But of course, they want to get rid of the cattle as well.
	And go back and look at when we had millions of, that's a good argument that a person made about buffalo.
	Millions of buffalo used to roam here in the U.S. Far more than heads of cattle that we got.
	What happened with that?
	Why didn't that cause global warming?
	So another one of their content experts pushing scientific and climate change expertise, and again, they all come at the same thing.
	They're all, um, one of their other experts, uh, uh, wrote after Greta Thunberg quote, admonished delegates at cop 24.
	How dare you said it has become increasingly apparent that university students feel the brunt of multiple and interlinked existential crises of climate change, biodiversity, persistent inequality, inequity, and economic precarity.
	Well, they have these neo-Marxists.
	I've talked about the precariat in the context of the universal basic income and taking everything away from everybody where we own nothing.
	And we just live by handout from the Silicon Valley masters.
	They call them the precariat.
	Sounds very much like the proletariat, doesn't it?
	Because these people are Marxists.
	And that's how this stuff all comes together.
	It's all Marxism.
	John Kerry. And China again for another climate meeting.
	Meeting with the Chinese and taking a big plane and a lot of people, as a matter of fact.
	But, you know, it's not this hypocrisy that he has here.
	As much as it is the foundational lie about...
	What climate change is.
	And so, yeah, we can hit him on the hypocrisy and we see Breitbart doing that.
	We see a GOP congressman doing it in hearings.
	And it's important to expose the guy as a fraud.
	However, the bigger fraud is the foundation of all this stuff.
	A, that we have global warming.
	B, that it is caused by humans and they haven't proven either of those things.
	We have weather issues.
	My son says there's no doubt students are feeling the weight of keeping the sky from falling.
	Yeah. Yeah, the other half of the sky, as Mal would say, right?
	Not women, but that part of it.
	Nobody knows how many staff he actually has working for him, John Kerry.
	But his proposed staff is 45 people.
	While his office is pointed out, that's the same size as the office set up to defeat ISIS. Ha ha!
	Not the best comparison to make, says the New York Post.
	Representative Brian Mast from Florida got out a chart of Kerry's office and tried to get Kerry to fill in some or any of the blank names on it.
	So who is it? You want a big staff of 45 people?
	Who works for you? He said, I would love to know the names of the individuals that actually answered you, said Mass.
	Who is your deputy envoy for climate?
	Because, you know, John Kerry is the envoy for climate.
	So who's your deputy? He wouldn't answer even this simple line of questioning.
	He gave out the name of two deputies, Rich Duke and Sue Beniaz, second of whom he praised as one of the most experienced negotiators in the world, but otherwise he's stonewalled.
	Mass said, you're not going to tell us who's working at your office?
	Kerry said, I'm not going to go through them name by name.
	You know, who does this congressman think he is?
	I mean, these people don't have to do anything, right?
	I mean, the whole idea of checks and balances, that doesn't exist anymore.
	Because the only thing that Congress really has is the purse strings.
	That should be pretty powerful, but they've already done that, okay?
	They already have...
	Let that go away by raising the debt ceiling and giving Biden everything that he wants.
	So they got nothing to negotiate with.
	There's nothing that the GOP can do about any of this stuff or will do about it because they've already signed everything away.
	And so they can hold hearings.
	And we can say, oh, look at this.
	I really gave John Kerry a big, a hard time, right?
	So, anyway.
	It was inevitable and delicious when the idea of Kerry's family's private jet came up, says the New York Post.
	Kerry raised it himself, dismissing the idea that he flies around the world in a private jet as a, quote, persistent lie.
	I don't own a private jet, he said.
	I've personally never owned a private jet.
	But then Mike Waltz of Florida pointed out that in February this year, the Carey family sold their private jet after accusations of climate hypocrisy.
	So it was just February of this year, just about four or five months ago.
	And then he says, oh, yeah, well, yeah, my wife owned a plane.
	Yeah. I forgot about that.
	That I was really flying around.
	But, you know, I didn't technically own it.
	My wife owned it. You know, just like Grandpa didn't get the Gilead stock for Remdesivir.
	It's actually his wife who did it.
	Yeah. Okay.
	You could say that Kerry suddenly remembered about his family jet in Heinz's sight.
	Yeah, that's the pun from the New York Post.
	It's the Heinz family.
	I've never owned a jet.
	Well, not since February.
	Says my son. And so then that takes us to the cruise ships, right?
	Last week I pointed out that in one study, just one cruise line had 43% more greenhouse gases emitted than all, all of the private cars in Europe combined.
	All of the private cars in Europe combined.
	43% less greenhouse emissions than this cruise line that had about 60-some-odd ships.
	And now we've got another ship that is about to be released.
	This one is five times larger than the Titanic, and it's about to debut.
	Royal Caribbean International has created its first-of-a-kind ship nearly five times the size of the Titanic.
	They will call it Icon of the Seas.
	And, of course, when you look at these things, every one of them is fill-in-the-blank of the seas, right?
	It has 250,000 gross tonnage, and of course the Titanic was 46,000 gross tonnage.
	It's quite a bit longer as well.
	And yet, as all of this is happening with these cruise ships, more emissions than anybody else, and more virus outbreaks happening on them.
	Cruise ships are having a surge of virus outbreaks.
	The norovirus.
	They recently had, on June 20th, on a Viking cruise ship, about 120 passengers and crew members reported being ill out of about 1,200 people who were on board.
	Now, do you remember the panic during the pandemic at the very beginning of it, the Diamond Princess that was anchored off the coast of Japan?
	And they had fewer than 120 passengers, if I remember correctly, but they had about 6,000 passengers and crew on there.
	And so this is about five times more, five or six times more people that get infected with this thing than on the Diamond Princess.
	And they had a guy who had been an investigator with the Ebola outbreaks in Africa, and he said, I was scared to death.
	There was nothing on this ship that was, you know, going to shield people from getting sick.
	And of course, they only had about a dozen people who died, and they were not in very good condition.
	As you typically see if you go on one of these cruises, you see a lot of elderly people, a lot of comorbidities.
	These people were locked up for a very long time.
	Again, did they get the kind of health care that they needed?
	No, it was denied to them.
	Just like you had hospitals denying health care to people.
	It's not surprising that somebody died.
	When you had that naval officer said, oh, we had one crew member test positive.
	We're going to take this thing to port and we're going to dock it.
	Because we could all die.
	You're in the Navy.
	You signed up to go to war.
	I mean, it's like, what's he going to do if the war breaks out?
	You got one person who tests positive for coronavirus.
	That's it. I'm out of here, man.
	We could all die. But again, nobody died on there.
	And they only had a handful of people because they're healthy.
	Healthy young people on that, but not on the other cruise ship.
	They said norovirus is one of the most common viral illnesses on cruises, sometimes dubbed the cruise ship virus.
	In May, a celebrity cruise trip saw about 152 passengers, 26 crew members get sick with it, according to the CDC. Another case in May saw 246 passengers and 38 crew contact the virus.
	During a Princess Cruises voyage involving not the Diamond Princess, but the Ruby Princess, about 10% of the 2,800 passengers on board displayed symptoms similar to the Novo norovirus.
	So I guess, you know, we just need to shut these things down.
	No, no, we're not going to shut them down.
	We're going to lock you down.
	We're going to take your car, even though just one cruise line.
	43% more emissions than all the private cars.
	Yes, the end of your freedom to travel.
	Headline from an article from Brownstone Institute.
	Yeah, just surrender your car.
	Get your vaccine passports and all the rest of the stuff.
	No, they're coming after the car because, again, if you go back and you look at their lockdown, what was our...
	Escape vehicle.
	It was our private cars.
	They couldn't completely shut us down because of private cars.
	They've got to get the cars if they're going to lock us down completely and take everything from us.
	A couple of comments here I want to respond to.
	Tom to Groyper.
	Understanding trends and tracking them helps you avoid the next MacGuffin.
	Yep. Says, I have to admit, I hear MacGuffin and I get hungry.
	But the egg isn't real anymore.
	That's right. It's not.
	Yeah, they've scrambled everything up with all this stuff.
	Marvin Gardens.
	MAGA-uffin. GOP is the new GMO happy meal for chumpsters.
	Yeah, I agree. So, my son says, hey, I was talking about the water.
	We're going to track. See this water?
	We can track where it came from.
	Can you believe it was a cloud once?
	Science is amazing. Sounds like La La Eris.
	That's something to think about.
	It really is. Brian Teller, how does water have a carbon footprint?
	What lunacy? Yeah, I'm glad you caught that.
	It's got a carbon footprint.
	Another person, Air Ma says, H2O, I don't see any C's in there.
	Well, you know, they have water vapor listed as a greenhouse gas.
	You know, I guess clouds and things like that.
	I don't know. Higher CO2 does affect food.
	It makes it bigger and better.
	Yeah, absolutely. Come on the cruise.
	Come for the overpriced alcohol and stay for the norovirus.
	Yeah, that's my take on these cruises.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll come back.
	I want to talk about cars.
	Cars and money because some really interesting stuff is now happening with the cars.
	We'll be right back.
	Take off those masks.
	Using free speech to free minds.
	Screams It's the David Knight Show.
	Well, you know, we talked through the winter.
	We talked about how difficult it was for EVs, especially if temperatures got really, really cold.
	Remember? One guy around Christmas was like, I blew my Christmas or New Year's or something like that because he couldn't get to the relatives.
	He needed to charge his car and he needed to get to an outdoor supercharger.
	But he plugged the thing in. It says, waiting to charge the car, we've got to heat the battery first before we can charge it.
	And it never could get the battery hot enough so it could do a charge.
	Eric Peters had the same issue.
	Same issue. Couldn't charge it because it was too cold.
	Now, guess what?
	The heat is a problem.
	Maybe we shouldn't call these things EVs.
	Maybe we should call them Goldilocks cars.
	The temperature's got to be not too hot, not too cold.
	It's got to be just right, or it doesn't work.
	And that's what we're seeing now.
	Maybe we could also call them Cinderella cars, because they turn into pumpkins, or better yet, bricks, right?
	If you have it out too long, it turns into a brick.
	So now electric vehicles meant to curb climate change are susceptible to the very problem that they seek to treat extreme heat, says Washington Times.
	And so as they're making all these bogus claims about this being the hottest time on record and all the rest of this stuff...
	Compared to what records?
	Compared to the limited records that you've got?
	Not even to that, as a matter of fact.
	Steve Malloy was pulling up some things.
	Remember back in 1935?
	How about the 1940s?
	Yeah, we had hotter days than this.
	And, of course, we have a very narrow amount of records.
	Where are the thermometers now?
	Are they at the airport tarmac?
	All these things that we've talked about before.
	But what happens to the batteries during heat?
	So you can add to the lack of public charging stations, the reliance on China for critical lithium-used batteries, electric grid reliability, higher sticker prices.
	Now you can add what I'll call the Goldilocks operating temperatures.
	Just in time for the regulatory push on electric vehicles, this week's heat wave in the Southwest is bad news for EVs, says Western Energy Alliance.
	They point out that industry analysts and EV automakers recommend several different ways to prevent EV batteries from overheating.
	Well, first of all, you avoid parking in the sun.
	Don't go out in the sun.
	Go out only at night, okay?
	Avoid rapid charging.
	Charge during cooler times of the day.
	Just like, you know, if it's really cold, you want to charge during warmer times of the day, okay?
	If you can find them. And then use your air conditioning sparingly.
	Remember when it was really cold?
	They said, don't turn your heater on.
	Now when it's hot, they say, don't turn your air conditioning on.
	Great idea. Tesla recommends keeping the battery charged 20 to 80%.
	And as they point out, if you charge during extreme heat, particularly with rapid chargers, this can lead to long-term reduction in your battery's capacity.
	Remember, we had a listener who was a Ford engineer.
	He said, you know, there's even memos circulating around that we should keep track of how often somebody does...
	Rapid charging, because that degenerates the battery's life and its charging capacity.
	And say that if you do it more than X amount of times, your warranty on your battery is off or whatever, right?
	Because rapid charging really does cut it down.
	Charging during heat cuts it down.
	And charging it rapidly during heat really cuts it down.
	Cold weather limits the range of a single charge because, you know, the battery doesn't last as long as the cold weather, and it can take longer to reach full capacity.
	As a matter of fact, you might not even be able to charge it because the battery has to be a certain just-right temperature, Goldilocks temperature.
	So my son says, yeah, avoid rapid charging your EV. Just what they need.
	Longer charging times.
	So the EPA nevertheless is proposing under Biden to get rid of internal combustion engines for the most part.
	They want to mandate that by 2030, which is only six and a half years away, you're going to have 60% of new vehicle sales be EV. And then by 2032 they want it to be 67%.
	We're talking about six years away.
	So, six and a half years.
	That means the car companies right now, what Biden just said to them, is essentially saying stop designing and planning to build any new cars.
	Because they've got to have a lead time on all this stuff.
	Republican attorneys general in half of the states and leading trade associations tied to the transportation sector are expected to mount legal challenges to Biden's new EPA dictates again.
	Caesar, Kaiser, the Emperor, Biden, executive orders.
	We're going to do gun control by executive order.
	We're going to do car control and population control and all the rest of the stuff.
	Here's another thing that's just come out about EVs.
	Their tires produce 20% more pollution than internal combustion engines.
	They're significantly heavier, significantly percentage-wise, and they can also accelerate faster.
	So they said they're going to shed a lot more rubber out of that.
	As I said before, I had a professor when I was in engineering engineering He was, you know, electric.
	What's the matter with that? So we're driving around in 2,000-pound vehicles.
	That's, as an engineer, that ought to be just absurd.
	And, of course, now everybody is saying, but we've got these great EVs, and they're super heavy, and we're moving people around.
	So it's gotten even heavier. We're not talking about 2,000 pounds now.
	We're talking about 4,000 pounds that we're going to be moving around.
	And of course, unless you flunked freshman physics, you know that work is equal to the force times the distance.
	You can stand there all day and you can push on a brick wall, but if you don't move it, you haven't done any work.
	So you're moving these things and you're using a lot of energy.
	And if you're moving them faster, you're using even more energy and you're using your tires as well.
	So how is that in any way green or efficient?
	Not only that, but if they're wearing the tires out because they're heavier, they're also more wear and tear on the roads, and they're not even paying road taxes here.
	Tire emissions are not the only environmental question that's been raised about EVs.
	Experts have debated the eco-impact of the lithium-ion batteries.
	And what do you do to, you know, to make them?
	What do you do to get rid of them?
	And then what about the fires?
	And then we got this. A Rivian owner who saw a $42,000 repair bill after a minor accident.
	Now, what is going on with this?
	Well... Part of it is that the batteries are very susceptible to being damaged.
	And if you look at the way these things are set up, they talk about them as being kind of skates.
	So they have a lower platform, which is all batteries with, you know, it's like a big rectangle of batteries with cars, with tires on the four corners and motors on those tires.
	If you get dinged and you're going to compromise some of those batteries, you may have a fire or you may eventually have a fire if those batteries get damaged.
	So you've got to replace a lot of batteries.
	But then over and above that, you got a lot of new car companies like Rivian just getting into the business.
	And, you know, they're not thinking about doing body repair.
	So they build these bodies that look really cool.
	But, hey, if something happens to you, you got to replace the whole thing.
	You know, Fiat had that with a carbon fiber.
	I'm trying to remember what the really cool looking sports car, two seater sports car.
	But it had a carbon fiber shell that was essentially the frame.
	And if you got into an accident, you just totaled the car.
	Somebody bumps you.
	And that's what kind of happened with this Rivian.
	$42,000 for a fender bender.
	Some insurers are opting to write off electric vehicles even for minor accidents as it's uneconomical to fix these complex systems.
	The latest example of insurers getting roasted on repairs, a report from the New York Times, says a Rivian owner said his new electric pickup truck was involved in a minor fender bender in February.
	The insurance company of the driver who hit him offered to pay $1,600 for the repairs.
	Just the bumper. Okay?
	And, however, after they took it to a certified shop, they said not $1,600, but $42,000, half of the price of the EV. He paid $84,000 for this truck.
	A key reason is that the accident damaged a sleek panel that extends from the truck's rear to the front roof pillars.
	Repairing and repainting it set off a cascade of pricey work, including removing the interior ceiling material known as the headliner and the front windshield and all the rest of the stuff.
	This is the kind of thing that you see with a design flaw that was in the Tesla.
	I remember... May and Jeremy Clarkson.
	James May had a Tesla, and he had it parked over the winter.
	It went dead, bricked.
	He couldn't get into it. He had to take the whole thing apart just to get the battery recharged.
	So these are new car companies.
	They don't have engineers, maybe with a lot of experience, and they're not designing for that.
	They don't care about it. Another part of it may be just kind of planned obsolescence.
	Hey, we can drop $84,000 in a truck, just buy a new one.
	And then again, it's the fire risk if the batteries get compromised.
	And so with even a fender bender, that is a big issue.
	Jason Barker, two-stroke diesel motorcycle for the win.
	Yep, that's right.
	Yeah, especially diesel.
	It'd take a lot of different types of fuel.
	Narrow Way, Narrow Gate Ministries.
	They would ban rain if they could figure out how to.
	Yeah. Yeah. Starve us on that, too.
	Midwestern Canadian. Sounds awesome.
	Now let's buy $5 billion worth of electric school buses.
	You've been talking to Lala, haven't you?
	Air Moss. They kill the roads, too.
	Yeah, they're deconstructing them.
	Narroway Narragate Ministries.
	Thanks to these EVs, my auto insurance is going up because it's so expensive to repair these that the insurance companies are raising rates to cover their costs.
	They've got to spread it around. That's right.
	Got to spread that loss around.
	Atomic Dog. I had a co-worker that owned a Nissan Leaf.
	It was, at most, six or seven years old.
	Needed a battery which cost $8,000.
	The car sits in the driveway, rotting away because it isn't worth the cost of the battery.
	That's right. The replacement cost for that thing.
	The whole thing is gone. It's planned obsolescence.
	It really is. I had a Spitfire once, a British Leyland.
	That thing was so simple.
	I had two clips on either side.
	It had a clamshell front. The whole front came up as one piece.
	But you could literally step inside this little thing.
	It had a teeny tiny engine in it as well.
	Uh, and so yeah, it wasn't very reliable, but at least it was simple.
	If you wanted a hobby, you could get one of those things and it would keep you busy, but at least you could get to it.
	And now the car manufacturers, if it gets more and more complicated, they're all talking about putting facial recognition into the cars.
	They're going to be big brother.
	They said, yeah, we've got to bring in some of the stuff like these people in Silicon Valley are doing.
	And you know what Silicon Valley uses their technology for, don't you?
	Yeah, big brother coming to the cars.
	Keep your car if you've got one.
	Thanks for listening.
	Have a good day.
	The Common Man The Common Man They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
