	The End free speech to free minds You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 20th of July, year of our Lord, 2023.
	Three.
	Well, today we're going to take a look at more criminal developments from both of our leading candidates.
	This is a contest to see who's going to be the criminal in chief.
	And then when we look at the alternatives, there's some very disturbing information that we see in terms of the constant push now for the Bat Lab.
	The Bat Lab is back. The Bat Lab, Robin.
	We're going to talk about what that is all about.
	Why this head fake?
	They will do anything to keep you from looking at the vaccines, won't they?
	That's right. And who is buying into this?
	I mean, not buying into it.
	Are you buying into it? I don't think so.
	But who's trying to sell it?
	That's a very interesting thing we're going to take a look at.
	at.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, kudos to Karen and Travis for getting this all cleaned up.
	I spilled my drink as I was sitting down.
	And you would never know it.
	I know it. I didn't even know the show had started because I was so distracted by this stuff.
	But let's talk about the two leading criminals for president.
	And before we do, let's talk about the standard...
	That our founding fathers used to measure politicians.
	A great article from The New American.
	Of course, it's really coming from the John Burt Society, this particular one.
	And they point out, you know, what was the understanding of the role of legitimate politicians in 1776, by the time of our founding?
	And actually it began quite a bit before that.
	It takes a while to lay that kind of foundation.
	And so, you know, what were the things that the guys who became our founding fathers were reading and understanding when they were kids?
	The founding kids.
	What they were being exposed to.
	The reprinting of nearly every newspaper, nearly every city in America, of Cato's letters that provided our founding fathers with the intellectual fuel that fed the fires of armed resistance to tyranny.
	John Trenchard, Thomas Gordon, the authors of the Cato Letters, taught our ancestors as young men, the founding kids, the founding youngsters, that kings are not above the law.
	And that when kings, legislators, or any other political officeholder, magistrate, is what they called them, right?
	Any of the magistrates, forgets that he is servant of the people, And not their master.
	Then the people are justified in reminding him of his role peacefully if possible and by force if necessary.
	And this is why I've said that we have crossed the Rubicon.
	And if we look at where America is today, you have the people on the left who will excuse anything that Biden does, don't you?
	As a matter of fact, I saw that and we'll talk about in just a moment.
	This additional IRS whistleblower who came forward.
	And it was CBS that interviewed him.
	And the comments under the videos were astounding.
	So many Democrats out there.
	Well, this guy just wants his 15 minutes of fame and all the rest of the stuff.
	Just discounting it all together.
	And also, he said, well, look at this.
	He's got right-wing conservative Republican...
	Lawyers, these whistleblowers.
	He says he's a Democrat. He says he's LGBT. But he's got Republican lawyers.
	And I've seen the same stuff from conservatives about, you know, what is going on with Ray Epps, for example.
	Right? And I mentioned, you know, it's a...
	Several people have written articles about the fact that he's being represented by Perkins Coy, which is associated with the radical Democrats around Hillary Clinton and so forth.
	I've had people say, hey, you know, you can draw your own conclusions.
	Well, here's my conclusions. If people see blood in the water, these lawyers are going to go to it.
	But if you are coming after a politician who If you're giving testimony against a politician, or if you're suing a politician or a political movement or whatever, would you go to lawyers that are heavily associated with that political movement?
	For example, would Ray Epps want to go with a highly successful Republican law firm to go after Fox News and Tucker Carlson and Darren Beatty or whoever he's going after?
	Would he do that? Or would you go with somebody who has always been opposed to them?
	And would these IRS whistleblowers, if they're going to come after a Democrat president, would they choose a high-power Republican legal team to do that?
	Or would they choose a high-powered Democrat legal team to go after a Democrat president?
	And yet, this is evidence for many people.
	Well, look, you know, they went with the opposing political lawyers to go after this political figure.
	That is seen as evidence of discounting that this is legitimate.
	And I say that we have crossed Rubicon.
	It's not that we've got a Caesar or a Trump or Biden who has crossed the Rubicon.
	We have crossed the Rubicon.
	We want somebody who is a dictator.
	We don't care if this person is just.
	We don't care if they're moral.
	We don't care if they lie to our face.
	We want them to play 4D chess.
	We just want to win, and we'll do whatever is necessary.
	And we will embrace these guys and demand that they fix it and fix it now.
	Use an executive order. We don't have time to wait for any of this stuff.
	Both sides.
	Want to elect a dictator.
	So on July 15th, 1721, like I said, this is about 40 years before these guys were young, they grew up reading this stuff.
	The guys who gave us our framework of liberty that our regulatory bureaucracies have now turned into a scaffolding.
	It's like hangman, isn't it?
	Anyway, they've perverted everything.
	On July 15, 1721, letter number 37 was published in London.
	In it, Thomas Gordon gave his readers several tests which, when applied to magistrates, would distinguish the good ones from the evil ones.
	Notice the use of terminology.
	It's not good and bad.
	It's good and evil. The source of the standard by which the character of any magistrate could be measured was Algernon Sidney's Discourses Concerning Government.
	And as the New American article, the John Burt Society article, points out, yeah, people don't read these things.
	We don't read Cato's letters.
	We don't read Discourses Concerning Government.
	They have in this article links to both of those if you want to read them for yourself, but they summarize it for you.
	Modernize the language.
	Give you bullet points.
	We get an executive summary.
	Well, big lightning strike there.
	I hope we don't lose power. Thomas Jefferson described discourses concerning government as the, quote, best elementary book of principles in government as founded in natural rights which has ever been published in any language.
	The guy who wrote the treatise on natural rights, the Declaration of Independence, essentially, But this isn't an article in praise of Sidney or Trenchard or Gordon.
	The influence of those men on our founding fathers is proven beyond all question, and the fact that few Americans today even know their names or have read their books is tragic.
	The goal of this article is to highlight the acts and the attitudes of good and evil magistrates, so we might learn to apply these standards to candidates who are asking for our support.
	I'll paraphrase their essay, says the writer here, modernizing the language a bit to make it easier to understand and apply to our own times.
	So here we go. Puts out eight bullet points for what makes a man a good political officeholder.
	He seeks the good of the people he represents.
	He tries to be just and virtuous in his personal and his public life.
	You know what?
	Do our two leading candidates exemplify that?
	Are they known to be just and virtuous in their personal and public life?
	What a joke!
	What a joke! It's like a black comedy.
	This is something... Anyway, strives to be worthy of the faith and the trust of his constituents.
	Takes it upon himself to be a role model to young people by living a life devoted to truth and virtue.
	Takes every opportunity to teach young people to love truth and virtue, and to reject lies and wickedness, hoping to strengthen them before they reach an age at which temptations lead to a sinful and shameful life, in which those temptations are the strongest.
	Yeah, you've got to get the kids when they're really young, because before the tests, the big tests come, right?
	Does all of this, even if it might harm his career or negatively affect his popularity, he does it.
	He always does what's best for the people, regardless of whether it helps him or not.
	Have you seen anybody like this?
	Please point them out to me if you do.
	Leads people to virtue.
	Finally, the traits of an evil politician.
	Believes that he is more important than the people he represents.
	Does whatever it takes to stay in office, regardless of how it affects the people.
	Sees government as a way to enrich himself.
	Take a look at Obama.
	Community organizer. Communist organizer.
	Who never had a job.
	Never produced anything.
	Multi, multi, multi-millionaire now, isn't he?
	Always decides how to vote on a measure by how it will affect his chances to get re-elected.
	This is an evil magistrate.
	Or his public persona.
	Or his personal wealth.
	Or as Trump's lawyer put it, incapable of acting except in his own perceived self-interest.
	Or out of revenge.
	An evil administrator never tries to find out how the people feel about issues as he believes himself superior to those who vote for him.
	This is exhibited in the executive orders that we see being done by Biden and other people.
	We'll talk about the bureaucracy underneath the executive branch.
	Well, yeah, we're going to ban gas stoves and things like that.
	In testimony, we had the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Energy who came up with the rule and she was asked by a Republican congressman, do you know what it takes to change from a gas range to an electric range?
	Well, no, I don't.
	Do you care?
	Oh no, not really. And of course he points out that amongst other expenses, you got to run a 220 line to where that gas range was.
	Many other things, they don't care.
	They really don't care.
	Let them eat cake attitude.
	But, of course, they can't cook the cake on a gas range.
	So they never try to find out how the people feel about the issues.
	They're superior to those who vote for them.
	And, of course, the swamp that Trump did nothing, nothing, nothing to drain.
	The swamp is the entire bureaucracy that is under the executive branch.
	They all worked for him. He could have fired any of them if he wanted to.
	Any and all. He chose not to.
	An evil politician tries to keep people divided against each other to stir up hatred among the people.
	That's both of our leading candidates.
	Knows that by keeping the people fighting each other, they won't ever realize that he is their common enemy.
	He uses his influence to convince the people that the other party is filled with people who want to destroy them.
	They're coming after you. I'm the one who's between you and them, right?
	Except who's going to jail.
	Elderly electors, elderly pastors, because of January the 6th, because of the stop, the steal, and save America lies.
	And how they're justified in avenging the wrongs done to them by the other party.
	An unjust, evil politician or magistrate calls it sedition.
	Or rebellion. Anytime the people try to fight back and preserve their lives, liberty, and property.
	It's a seditious conspiracy.
	We say. Biden, the Democrat, LGBT, AG in Michigan, teaches the youth that there's nothing wrong with lewdness or sexual immorality.
	Hmm. Goes to any lengths, including lying, to hide his lack of integrity and his criminal acts.
	Uses all means at his disposal to keep the people ignorant, lazy, or afraid to stand up for their rights.
	But then he talks about, well, what about the people who support good magistrates or the people who support evil magistrates?
	What are their characteristics? Well, the people who support good magistrates are those who encourage virtue and justice, who help educate their fellow citizens about their rights, who help educate their fellow citizens about the limits of government's official power, who encourage their fellow citizens to hold their representatives accountable for their use of power granted to them by the people, and work to increase the strength, courage, greatness, and happiness of their country.
	As for those who work to keep corrupt Magistrates and office.
	Well, they're the kind of people who encourage acceptance of and participation in immorality.
	Maybe that would be like the Trump pastors.
	It was really hard-pressed to find anybody that I could think of that embodied those people who support good magistrates.
	Everybody's for sale. And you've got pastors for Trump.
	Who encourage the acceptance and the participation in his immorality and other things.
	Of course, on the Democrat side, they all openly brag about it.
	But, you know, the fact that you've got pastors.
	You know, people, the first one that comes to mind, let's be specific about it.
	Robert Jeffries is the best example of that.
	This Baptist pastor in Dallas with a megachurch.
	Push for the vaccine, push for Trump, and pushing again for him.
	Tell people whatever they want to do, they should be able to do, regardless of law or morality.
	Well, there you go. That's Biden.
	That's Biden in a nutshell.
	But of course, you know, Trump to a lesser degree, Trump also loves the LGBT. But Biden especially.
	And all the pro-abortion people.
	Convince the people that promises are made to be broken.
	Oh. You mean like, don't worry.
	Don't worry. Trump's playing 4D chess, right?
	Alex Jones. It's all right.
	It's okay. Yeah, he's doing the wrong thing.
	And he's breaking all of the promises that he made to you.
	But that's okay, because in the end, we're going to win.
	You know, we've got to lie, cheat, steal to win.
	4D chess. Convince the people that all politicians break their campaign promises, so it's really not important anymore.
	Same thing. Constantly ignore crime.
	Encourage lawlessness.
	Do whatever it takes to keep the people fighting each other so they never combine their strength to defeat corruption.
	Well, that's Trump.
	That's Biden.
	That's the mainstream media.
	That's the alternative media for the most part.
	Finally, Sidney, Trenchard, and Gordon warned our founding fathers, and are still warning us, what will happen if people aren't taught their rights, aren't taught the source of those rights, God, and aren't taught when and how they should rid themselves of lying, corrupt politicians.
	And so they said, when a party comes to be erected upon such a foundation, here's the result, they said.
	Debauchery. Mm-hmm.
	Drag queens story time hours being put in libraries.
	It's the only thing that we want to educate our kids about anymore.
	So they dominate the libraries.
	They dominate the schools.
	Because all we want to do is educate our kids in debauchery.
	debauchery, lewdness, dishonesty are the badges of this, such as where them are cherished.
	But the principal marks of favor are reserved for those who are the most industrious in mischief, either by seducing the people with the allurements of sensual pleasures or by corrupting their understandings with false and slavish doctrines.
	Yes, they promise freedom, but they themselves are the slaves of sin.
	And today we're going to talk about our DEI military.
	And you understand they got the letters wrong.
	It's D-I-E. The military is dying.
	The military will die when they go to war.
	They can't even manufacture the ammunition fast enough.
	And, of course, the new thing is not just enshrining abortions and abortion leave.
	But now, of course, since they can't meet their recruitment goals, they want to fill out the military with LGBT. And they're promising.
	That you can have a, you know, if you get some mutilating surgery, they'll give you 300 days off so you don't have to go to deployment.
	So you enter the military and they promise they're going to give you free surgery.
	You get your free surgery. You don't have to go anywhere for a year, essentially.
	And they're going to do everything they can to fill the military with that.
	That's why I say it's the D.I.E. military that they're creating.
	So, now is the time for us to pay attention, to understand how we got here.
	And maybe we need to start looking at some of the founding and defining documents that defined the character of our founding fathers.
	Again, the Jaron Burt Society, you know, I remember when I was a kid, it became something of a joke.
	They started this back in the 1960s, support the local sheriff, and I'd see the stickers on the back of the cars and When I was a kid, I cynically thought those bumper stickers were just to kind of protect them in case they got pulled over for a traffic ticket.
	But now, can we not see, after what's happened for the last three years, can we not see the profound wisdom of supporting your local sheriff?
	If they're a person of good character, if they will stand and interpose themselves as a lesser magistrate, If they will embrace the greater law, the law that is king in our country, we don't have and we don't want Trump as king, Biden as king, or anybody else as king.
	They are temporary servants.
	They're stewards.
	And they have sworn as a condition of their office, an alliance to the true king of our country, the legal principles of the Constitution.
	And with them being unfaithful servants, they have no authority, even if they have power.
	They have no authority.
	And since they have no authority, since they're usurping authority, since they're acting under the color of law, then it is legitimate for us to do anything and everything to oppose them.
	Limited only by our desire to live peacefully, With each other as much as it depends on us.
	And so let's take a look at the IRS whistleblower in the Biden case.
	We had yet another one come forward, as I said, a long interview by CBS, but that didn't matter to the left.
	They came after them on this stuff.
	Oh, you people are selling out to the other side, right?
	Because we have now been used by these criminals in charge.
	We are being split into a civil war.
	Nobody sees anything except the letter after somebody's name to indicate which party they're in.
	That's one of the reasons, you know, these overriding principles that the founding fathers looked at was one of the reasons why they despised political parties.
	Because they blind people.
	To these principles.
	The IRS case agent who handled, quote, 95% of the tax evidence in the Hunter Biden investigation told CBS News that he, quote, felt handcuffed during the five-year probe and that he was blocked from pursuing leads that he felt that he thought might implicate Biden's father, President Biden.
	His name is Ziegler Joseph Ziegler, 13-year veteran of the IRS. Now the second IRS employee to come forward, it was a supervisor who came forward previously.
	He said, when you're prevented from going down certain roads, I guess I don't know what could have been found if we were not hamstrung and if we were not handcuffed.
	As the main IRS agent, he worked with his supervisor, Gary Shapely.
	He says the evidence they uncovered, quote, supported felony and misdemeanor tax charges.
	Oh, well, you know, crimes and misdemeanors, that's the basis for impeachment, isn't it?
	And so here's what he had to say in terms about being blocked from looking at Biden.
	Did you uncover evidence that President Biden financially benefited from his son's deals?
	I don't feel comfortable answering that question.
	Why is that? Any time we potentially wanted to go down the road of asking questions related to the president, it was, that's going to take too much approvals.
	We can't ask those questions.
	And I mean, it created an environment that was very hard to deal with.
	It's a politically sensitive case.
	Wouldn't it require additional approvals?
	Yes, I do understand that aspect.
	But it would be like, well, let's think about it.
	Let's put that on the back burner.
	Yeah, let's put that on the back burner.
	We'll get back to you. It's kind of the guy from the office.
	Uh, yeah. Yeah, okay.
	Did I fill out that TPS report yet?
	Democrats have also focused on Shapely's and Ziegler's choice of legal representation because their attorneys have had connections to the Republican Party politics, like I said before.
	Would you go to Perkins Coy, who has been associated with Biden and Hillary and Obama and all the rest of these people, if you're going to come after Obama, if you're going to be a whistleblower after Obama?
	Of course not. And again, same thing with Ray Epps, right?
	We hear that from the partisan people.
	Ziegler alleges that evidence he collected shows how Hunter Biden improperly claimed business deductions for a range of personal expenses, such as college tuition for his children, bills for stays at a posh Hollywood hotel, payments to prostitutes, they call it on CBS, escorts.
	Yeah, he had all these motorcycles that were following him in his limousine.
	No, they were prostitutes.
	And no-show employees.
	No-show employees.
	He invented employees.
	He paid people as employees, but they never did anything.
	In 2021, Ziegler says he drafted a memorandum recommending prosecutors charge Hunter Biden with multiple felonies and misdemeanors.
	He said in August of 2022...
	We had a phone call with all of the assigned prosecutors, and they had said that all four of them were recommending the approval of felony and misdemeanor tax charges.
	What happened?
	All the IRS agents are looking at this, and as we said before, really?
	Millions of dollars, and you give them a small fine, and you reduce it down to misdemeanor?
	Yeah, yeah. That doesn't happen to anybody else, does it?
	Ziegler said Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss told him he agreed with certain felony charges, but he said there was resistance from other officials inside the Department of Justice who thought that a jury may be sympathetic to Hunter Biden's drug addiction and the death of his brother, Beau Biden. Yeah, yeah.
	So I guess, you know, maybe I couldn't bring this charge.
	Give me a break. This guy that they're talking to, who is contradicting some of this stuff, David Weiss, this U.S. attorney for Delaware, federal attorney for Delaware, he was appointed by the Trump administration.
	But again, that doesn't really mean anything, does it?
	I mean, when you look at the situation here in Tennessee, for example, they had a law that said, you're not going to mutilate minors.
	You're not going to sterilize minors with all this gender nonsense, okay?
	And there was a judge who stopped that.
	Said, nope, can't do that.
	It was a federal judge.
	It was a Trump-appointed judge who said that.
	They said, well, this is unfair treatment of transgender versus cisgender kids.
	It's like, what in the world is he even talking about?
	He couldn't come up with the slightest justification.
	That's absolute nonsense.
	What in the world? So-called cisgender kids, normal kids, are not looking to have these operations.
	But he was overturned at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
	Two of the three judges overturned him.
	Those judges, one of them was appointed by Trump.
	Another one was appointed by George W. Bush.
	You don't know what you're going to get with these people, you know, when they're appointed.
	You know that if they're a Democrat, that they're going to be for, you know, big government and authoritarian policies and so forth.
	That's a given. So that's pretty predictable.
	But for the... Republican-appointed judges is like a box of chocolates.
	You never know what you're going to get.
	And that's the way it was with David Weiss.
	David Weiss pushed back in a letter last month saying that he had ultimate authority on these matters, and he was, quote, never denied the authority to bring charges in any jurisdiction, unquote.
	The problem is, is that these IRS agents...
	When they had meetings with him and he was telling them that he was being controlled, that he was, that there were certain things that were off-limits for him and so forth, they memorialized that at the time.
	They wrote that down.
	And so that's a big problem for him.
	Because you got multiple, this isn't just his word against another, it's his word against multiple IRS agents who said, who recorded it at the time, what he had to say.
	So both Ziegler and Shapely have told congressional investigators and CBS News that they were told that prosecutors in Delaware were prevented from bringing charges in other jurisdictions, including California and Washington, D.C. And Shapely said Weiss told him he was denied special counsel status by the Justice Department.
	D.C. said, No, we are not going to assist you with bringing charges in our district, and we don't think you should bring these charges forward in our district, said Ziegler to CBS News.
	During the investigation, Ziegler said that he felt handcuffed.
	For example, he says he wanted prosecutors to obtain a search warrant to access a Virginia storage unit to search for potential business records, but they declined to do so.
	Oh, but they will do a raid if it's a Republican politician, right?
	He said, and publicize it and have the media show up as well.
	He said, request to interview Hunter Biden's adult children, adult children, about the tax payments were frustrated by prosecutors, whom he claims said the request could, quote, get us into hot water.
	Why did you want to interview Hunter Biden's adult children?
	So a lot of the business deductions, expenses related to the adult children.
	Did you get the approvals?
	So we never received the approvals to talk to those people.
	What did the assistant U.S. attorney tell you?
	That that's going to get us into hot water.
	Is that in the IRS handbook, avoiding hot water?
	No, but I mean, I was asking to do these certain things and roadblock after roadblock was put up in front of me.
	Yeah. Ziegler's request to pursue a number of investigative avenues came when Trump was still in office.
	You see that? And he had Attorney General Bill Barr, who had instituted a policy requiring that he personally approve any investigation of a president or a presidential candidate.
	Ziegler told CBS he was not aware of any approvals that were sought from Barr at that time.
	So we don't know if they took it to Barr and Barr turned it down, or they just didn't even bother to take it to him.
	In another instance, Ziegler said he tried to get location data to determine whether Joe Biden was in the room as his son had boasted in the 2017 WhatsApp message.
	Remember the one? He was pressuring the Chinese businessman.
	He says, I'm sitting here with my father, and we'd like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.
	You don't want to get him angry, right?
	I want to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight, right?
	So he said, I wanted to find out, get location data about that, but they wouldn't let me look for that.
	And was he really there?
	Anytime we potentially wanted to go down a road of asking questions related to the president was, well, that's going to take too much approvals.
	We just can't ask those questions, quote unquote.
	Ziegler said he expected extra approvals when investigating the son of a president, but he said the requests went unmet.
	There would be a point to where it would be like, well, let's think about it.
	Yeah, you got that TPS report yet?
	Ziegler said he only came forward publicly at the request of Congress, adding, I do this with a heavy heart.
	This is awful. It's not a fun experience to go through.
	I don't wish this upon anyone.
	Oh, you better believe it. I mean, it is tough.
	Kudos to anybody who stands on principle as a whistleblower.
	They'll come after you. Whatever you do.
	Anything that you point out that contradicts the government, especially if there's a crime involved, well, they come after you.
	Big time, don't they?
	And he knows that. All these people by this time know that's the way our government works.
	So it takes a lot of courage to do this.
	And so these two IRS agents, kudos to them.
	He is an LGBT Democrat.
	He said he hopes to be a good example for LGBT people.
	And again, this is what he has to say.
	I'm a Democrat. In the last presidential election, I actually did not vote.
	I thought it would be irresponsible of me to do so because I didn't want to show bias one way or the other.
	Yeah, he says, I've heard from some people that I'm a traitor.
	To the Democrat Party. Well, just take a look on Twitter.
	Whenever these videos are posted that I just played for you from CBS, oh, they're all over that.
	You know, you're just doing this to make yourself famous or whatever.
	That's the most ridiculous thing ever.
	You know, when you look at what happens to whistleblowers who come out against any powerful people in either party, you look at what happens to them.
	Nobody does this for fame and fortune.
	But that's the slander that is put out there.
	Who knows if that's really the public that's doing that, or if that's being done by these bot accounts that belong to the alphabet agencies.
	So I hear that I'm a traitor to the Democrat Party, that I'm causing more division in our society.
	I implore them that if you were to put in my position with the facts as I have stated them, That you would be doing the exact same thing regardless of your political party affiliation.
	Well, sadly, I don't think so.
	Most people are now not loyal to any principles or ethics or morality.
	They don't care about God.
	They don't believe they're going to answer to God.
	And so, you know, they just want their team to win and they don't care what they have to do to win.
	He said, in coming forward, I'm risking my career, my reputation, and my casework outside of this investigation, he said.
	I'm no more credible than this man sitting next to me due to my sexual orientation or my political beliefs.
	I was raised and have always tried to do what is right, he says.
	He says he hopes he'll be an example to the LGBT community who are questioning doing the right thing at potential cost to themselves and others.
	Well, that's fine. It's interesting that his loyalty, that he sees himself as LGBT instead of just as an American.
	I do what I do because I'm a Christian, not because of some other group that I belong to, or not even because I belong to a group as a Christian.
	I'm not doing this to reflect well on a denomination or a particular church.
	I'm doing this because I'm Christ's man.
	That's what Christian means.
	It was a term of derision in the first century, and it's become a term of derision now.
	Anyway, in terms of looking at the cocaine cover-up, I say, well, we know who handled it, and we know who have known since last week And it appears they've destroyed evidence.
	They said a lab test proved that the white substance was cocaine and another test brought back a hit on the fingerprints.
	Said an individual writing for the publication Soldier of Fortune.
	This is Katz Keating.
	She said she's withholding the culprit's identity pending official confirmation.
	The results came back very quickly on the fingerprints because the sample was sent to a unit that gets the results done in 24 hours, she said.
	Well, as we look at this guy, he pointed out one of the reasons he wants to do this is because everybody deserves to be treated equally under the law.
	Is that what we see anymore? Are you asking the Justice Department to take a pause on the plea agreement?
	This is up to the U.S. Attorney who brought the charges, David Weiss, and it's up to the judge to make that decision.
	But at the end of the day, it's a matter of, are we treating everyone the same?
	Are we treating all taxpayers the same?
	And in this case? And in this case, no, I don't think so.
	Yeah, they are looking the other way, whether it's cocaine or whether it's millions of dollars, $10 million from just one particular incident.
	And there's many more that are going to be there, let's be honest about it.
	They look the other way, but they look very closely at their political opponents.
	And again, you know, if there are laws that are broken, we don't need to be making excuses for Trump.
	The feds have now seized some of his advisors' phones as part of this January 6th investigation.
	And I thought it was very interesting what Chris Christie had to say on Sunday.
	It was something he may wind up having a big role to play in this.
	And again, you know, it is right in the middle of a presidential campaign and you can accuse everybody of having political motivations.
	I think everybody does have political motivations.
	On both sides of this.
	I say let the chips fall where they may.
	If there's criminal action, that needs to be applied to both sides.
	And we should not make excuses for somebody because we prefer them over the other criminal.
	But I want to play for you.
	I'm going to play for you what he said that it was really a big deal in terms of criminal prosecution on Sunday.
	But before I play that, I want to play for you what he said on ABC News.
	And again, he had been a contributor on ABC News.
	And so everybody says, oh, well, you know, that's George Stephanopoulos who worked for Clinton, and you can't trust anything.
	Now, let's not get into that.
	Let's just take what they have to say.
	Wherever they say it, we can deconstruct.
	We know about ABC. We know about CNN and MSNBC. That's fine.
	But, you know, somebody can go on these networks and say the right thing.
	This guy was on CBS. I don't trust CBS. Do you?
	But, you know, he was getting some straight up questions.
	And I think that's legit.
	And so, on November the 4th, which was, okay, the election in 2020, Tuesday, November the 3rd.
	The next day, on Wednesday, November the 4th, already Trump and his people were saying that the election was rigged.
	That it was dishonest.
	And there was good enough reason to believe that those allegations were true.
	And I'm not saying that they weren't.
	I think that the election process is rigged in many, many different ways.
	And I've said that. It begins with the fact that the Democrats and Republicans make sure that nobody else even gets on the ballot.
	And if they do, they don't get into debates.
	It has to do with electronic voting.
	It has to do with the possession of ballots.
	It has to do with long periods of time where people can vote.
	It has to do with no picture ID. And then, of course, we added the new wrinkle that Trump added of the lockdown election and mailing out the ballots to everybody so that it wasn't just a few people who were doing absentee voting, but it became the major thing and all the ballot harvesting.
	So they added a completely new level of corruption thanks to Trump and his lockdown.
	But on November the 4th, In 2020, Christie had this to say.
	George, let's say I've been fortunate enough to be on the ballot a number of times myself.
	I've won, I've lost.
	And so as a candidate, you're even more invested in the integrity of the system.
	So if this stuff is going on that the president's talking about, all of us want to ferret it out.
	Because it would undercut everything that we believe in in our system.
	But as a prosecutor, that's like asking me to indict someone without showing me any evidence.
	If you're going to say those things from behind the podium at the White House, it's his right to do it.
	It's his right to pursue legal action.
	But show us the evidence.
	We heard nothing today about any evidence.
	I want to know what backs up what he said so that I can analyze it.
	And let me tell you, if he's right, I'll be outraged, and I'm sure you would be too.
	And if he's wrong? And if he's wrong, then the American people are going to be able to make the judgment about this election that the results have been fair.
	And this kind of thing, all it does is inflame without informing.
	And we cannot permit inflammation without inflammation.
	Oh, that's from MRCTV. That's great.
	Inflammation without information.
	And that's what this whole thing was.
	Inflammation of the public without any information.
	We've got to stop this steal.
	We've got to save America.
	Send your money to me.
	You know, 1-800-INFO-WARS or whatever.
	This is because the next day, remember, Tuesday, the election.
	Wednesday, he's saying this already.
	Wait a minute. This is very serious.
	As a candidate, I've won.
	I've lost. Candidates are more invested in having honest elections than anybody else.
	So if this is real, we need to see this.
	But you're asking me to indict somebody without showing me any evidence.
	Remember how this whole thing played out after about a year and a half of this?
	We had Mike Lindell, my pillow guy.
	I've got the receipts. And so there was a big event that was promoted by Steve Bannon.
	And he showed up at an event.
	And, you know, we're waiting.
	Steve Bannon is there.
	He's covering it. And after a while he goes, I thought he was bringing receipts.
	There's nothing here. This is nothing new.
	He's not showing us any documents.
	He was absolutely fed up with it and he cut the thing off after about half hour or an hour of that stuff.
	So we were had with this stuff.
	But of course now Steve Bannon knows which side his bread is buttered on.
	He knows that he needs to suck up to that audience to make money and so he's conveniently forgotten about that.
	He's now on the Trump train again.
	But that was the Wednesday after the election, and it was the next day, Thursday, Thursday afternoon, the state pochenik went on Infowars with Owen Schwerer, and they sold you the idea that this whole thing was a sting.
	That they had somehow magically marked these ballots, and they knew which ones were legitimate, which ones were illegitimate.
	They had blockchain watermarks, said Steve, and they have 20,000 National Guard fanning out, arresting people right now.
	And of course, you knew that all that stuff was a total lie.
	None of that was possible.
	There wasn't any way that they could have blockchain watermarked.
	That wasn't a thing. The ballots are not printed by the federal government.
	Steve Pchenik said CISA was running this thing, and it wasn't long after that, within the week, And the head of CISA came out and said, no, this is a legitimate election.
	We don't see any evidence of that.
	So CISA was not on their side.
	And yet, that got really big.
	And that guy picked up.
	Clarence Thomas' wife sent that to Mark Meadows, the chief of staff of the Trump White House, and said, I hope this is true.
	Rush Limbaugh talked about it.
	I mean, it was huge.
	It's that Friday I pushed back against it.
	Steve Pachenik told Alex to fire me.
	Alex didn't fire me until I pushed back against Alex's grift.
	Stopped the steal. December the 14th.
	I pushed back on the day that the electors met.
	He fired me that following Thursday.
	But anyway, here's where Christie, what he said on this last Sunday, which is very incriminating to Trump.
	And I imagine that this will be used by the prosecution.
	In this case, we also learned...
	That former top White House officials, including Jared Kushner, have been called before the January 6th grand jury.
	Kushner reportedly told the grand jury that Trump sincerely believed that he won.
	What do you make of that, number one?
	And what do you make of the fact that Smith has reached that deep into the Trump White House?
	As far as, you know, what's going on with Donald Trump in terms of these charges, the fact is that he doesn't believe he won.
	He was concerned before the election that he was losing.
	And I know that because he said it to me directly.
	So, you know, he knows he didn't win.
	But his ego, George, won't permit him to believe that he's the only person in America, outside the state of Delaware, to ever have lost to Joe Biden.
	And so his ego is running that.
	And am I surprised that Jared Kushner would say that?
	He doesn't want to be disinvited to Thanksgiving, George.
	So he said what he needed to say.
	What is your path in victory?
	Through Donald Trump. There's no other way to do it, George.
	There's not a separate lane.
	We've heard these conversations before in presidential races.
	In this Republican primary, there is one lane to the nomination, and that lane is right through Donald Trump.
	He's at the head of it. And you have to make the case against Donald Trump and convince Republican primary voters two things.
	One, that he is not electable.
	And he will not beat Joe Biden.
	He's lost him before and would lose to him again.
	And probably Joe Biden would bring a Democratic House and Senate with him.
	And two, that his record doesn't merit him to be the nominee again, given all the failures, both personal and policy, that he's had.
	Yeah, yeah. He's right about that.
	Absolutely right. His personal and policy failures.
	Just like in 2020, the lockdowns, the CARES Act, Blocking, having the CDC block people from, you know, foreclosure or eviction, all the rest of these things, exceeding their authority, whether or not you agree with that policy.
	Just look at what he did to the Constitution.
	He ripped it in shreds.
	He lit a bonfire with it.
	All the rest of this stuff.
	Gun control by executive order.
	Look, I don't support Christie either.
	Christie is a warmonger, as he pointed out in just the last couple weeks, his comments about what Tucker Carlson was saying with Pence.
	He's a warmonger, and he is also for allowing parents to mutilate their kids.
	A position that was shared by Asa Hutchinson.
	That was a career ender for Asa Hutchinson and the militarization, warmonger stuff was a career ender or should be for Pence.
	He supports both of those things.
	But he is telling the truth about Trump.
	But he noticed that He makes pragmatic arguments, and he's right about that.
	Trump has cost the Republican Party the presidential election in 2020, but he's also cost them the control of Congress, or the Senate at least, in the midterm elections, even in the midterm elections of Joe Biden, who's very unpopular.
	And as he points out, a Democrat, Joe Biden, or whatever Democrat's going to come in, is going to come in if Trump is at the top.
	And if Trump loses, because he is so despised by independents as well as Democrats, it's going to bring in a complete Democrat Congress on both sides as well.
	So that's from a pragmatic standpoint, but it's a principle that we need to pay attention to.
	An ex-Trump official, Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews, Said yesterday, and of course on CNN, but of course they're not going to have somebody who's going to say anything negative about Trump on Fox News.
	So evaluate what she has to say.
	This is what she had to say.
	They asked her, they said, you were one of the witnesses who testified before the House January 6th Select Committee, so you are aware of Trump's actions around the Capitol attack.
	Are you surprised to hear that the special counsel's case against Trump seems to be larger, involving more evidence and more witnesses?
	Then Trump's attorneys expected.
	She says, I don't think that's surprising at all.
	She says she had some regrets about staying on with the Trump administration to the extent that she did.
	She said, I think they had access to different materials that the Congressional Committee could not get access to, particularly witnesses, she said.
	For example, Matthew said, obviously, we know that Vice President Pence went before the grand jury in this case, and that wasn't something that happened with a January 6th committee.
	I think they have reason to be worried, the Trump team, because I think they will have even more evidence.
	And obviously, the evidence that was uncovered in the January 6th committee hearing was really shocking, particularly Cassidy Hutchinson, my former colleague's testimony.
	Well, again, you know, it was, he did not get a conviction in the Senate, but, you know, the juries that he's going to be in front of in December are going to be highly skewed against Trump.
	Just like these juries are highly skewed against all the January 6th people.
	And in a sense, there's an element of justice in that, I think.
	Trump who did nothing to protect the people that he had ginned up to follow him for a fool's errand on January the 6th.
	There was nothing that could have been done at that point in time.
	And if you remember the outrage of Roger Stone when Trump did not offer pardons to the people, including him, and the things he had to say, I won't repeat on a family program.
	But it was a well-placed anger.
	I agreed with Roger and what he had to say.
	I just wouldn't have put it that way.
	You know, you look at this as, why is Pence even running?
	I think Pence thinks that Trump is going to be convicted.
	But I think he's wrong to think that anything is going to wake up his base.
	I think he is, you know, well, Trump gets convicted.
	You know, maybe I've got a path to victory.
	Chris Christie thinks that as well.
	And that doesn't necessarily disqualify what they're having to say.
	Evaluate what they're having to say and let the chips fall where they may.
	But I think they both believe that's going to be the case.
	In the same way that I think Gavin Newsom believes that Joe Biden isn't going to make it.
	And, you know, he's doing everything to run.
	And I think even Gavin Newsom, as you noticed how he was attacking DeSantis, I think Gavin Newsom looks at this and thinks that Biden ain't gonna make it to the general election because of health and mental issues, and I think he believes that Trump isn't gonna make it because of prosecution issues.
	But anyway, at this point, I don't think even if we had messages Revealed between Trump and staff that were like the kinds of garbage that we saw from Matt Hancock.
	Remember that? You know, the guy who was the lockdown chief in the UK and he's telling everybody what to do.
	You can't do this and you can't do that.
	Meanwhile, he gets caught red-handed having an adulterous relationship with a woman, violating all of his rules.
	She came to his place and all the rest of this stuff.
	And then they found his messages, his phone messages, where he and other people in his group were laughing about the misery that they were putting other people through and boasting about their arbitrary power.
	I don't think if you found something like that for Trump that his people would care about that at all.
	I don't think they'd care.
	They don't care about anything, as they said over and over again.
	He said it. I could shoot somebody in Manhattan, and I played for you a few weeks ago.
	A guy saying that at one of his big rallies.
	I don't care if he murdered somebody, I'd still vote for him.
	If I saw him cold-blooded murder somebody.
	Well, pal, you probably wouldn't.
	I'm sure that's true because he's cold-blooded murdered millions of people around the world with just his shots and destroyed lives.
	Many people he didn't murder are going to be suffering with these health consequences for the rest of their life.
	So, yeah. See, the problem, you know, we began by talking about what do you want to have?
	What's good character look like in a magistrate?
	What does evil character look like?
	But then the other part of it is, what do we say about the people who support evil?
	And you see, MAGA is supporting evil.
	They're supporting an evil magistrate.
	And they really don't care.
	They'll do whatever it takes to win.
	And so they're the bigger problem than Trump is, quite frankly.
	MAGA is a bigger problem than Trump.
	Many more of them. So you have the 16 people charged with felonies in Michigan.
	And again, the only place where I saw this turn up, there was a lot of, you know, excitement to talk about this in the mainstream Democrat-aligned media, but in the conservative Trump-aligned media, I didn't see this anywhere except on WND. Maybe it was somewhere else.
	Allegedly stated that they were duly elected and qualified electors for president.
	This is what they're charging them for in terms of fraud and misstatements and that type of thing.
	And again, you know, when I look at it, the counts include forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, election law forgery, and then conspiracy to do all these different things.
	So total, it's eight felonies, as I said yesterday, each felonies.
	A maximum jail sentence, if they're convicted of all these charges and given the maximum amount of time, these people could face 85 years in jail.
	But most of them are elderly people.
	These are experienced, seasoned people in the GOP. You know, they don't have to be given very many years in order for this to turn into a life sentence.
	And so, if you look at the way this whole thing was sensationalized, By this attorney general, this LGBT attorney general, who, by the way, was also a Soros attorney general.
	In the report, they say that they allegedly met covertly in the basement of the Michigan Republican Party headquarters.
	That's their building.
	Why would they have to meet covertly in the basement?
	They're just trying to skew this whole thing.
	And they signed their names to several certificates that stated that they were, quote, the duly elected qualified electors for president and vice president of the United States of America for the state of Michigan.
	I don't know what their defense is on that.
	Perhaps if I was, I put myself in the shoes of Saul Goodman or Alan Dershowitz.
	Perhaps they could argue semantics here.
	Perhaps they could say, well, we were duly elected and qualified electors because, you know, you have to, the way it works...
	You know, you have a political party.
	I was, like I said, Karen and I were electors once for the Libertarian Party, and so what you do is you have nominations for who's going to be the electors or whatever.
	It's typically the people who are, you know, working at the top of the party or whatever, the active members.
	In this particular case in Michigan, they had some elected officials, mayors, and other things like that that were there as well.
	But yeah, you are elected and qualified elector within that party.
	If you take this to mean that they were qualified because Trump won the state of Michigan, well, that was not in the cards.
	Her claim is that they had, quote, no legal authority, unquote, Because every, quote, serious challenge to the election was, quote, denied, dismissed, or otherwise rejected.
	Oh, so what you're saying here is that you would not even look at any evidence that they had.
	See, that's the other part of the issue here.
	They denied looking at it.
	They dismissed it. They rejected it.
	They said, we're not going to look at this.
	We're not going to give you a day in court.
	As you heard that very rational lawyer say, you know, we've got a lot of reason to believe that in certain districts there was bad, but nobody would take a look at that evidence.
	So they had reason to believe that there was fraud.
	They could not get a hearing.
	I understand all that. But again, there may be legal jeopardy for them, and I hate to say it, depending on what this is truly attesting to.
	But again, when you look at them bringing these kinds of elevated charges, you know that this is...
	A doubling down of political persecution and prosecution.
	They don't have to, if they sign this thing and try to put themselves up as legislators, you just say, no, forget about that.
	But to go to the point of prosecuting them to the full letter of the law and then some, yeah, that is a political vendetta that's being put out there, no doubt about it.
	So the AG said there was no legitimate legal avenue or plausible use of such a document or an alternative slate of electors.
	And again, I said that the slate of electors, if you wanted to have this to be challenged, you should have made your case to the Republican legislatures, have them appoint you.
	And at that point, then, you know, you got two slate of electors, one appointed by the governor, another appointed by the state legislature.
	Pence, and Thomas Massey even said that.
	He said they didn't give us anything to work with.
	They didn't send to, you didn't have two slate of electors sent by different branches of the official state government in any state.
	And if they had done that, then there would have been a back and forth as to, okay, is it the executive branch that does this or is it the legislative branch?
	And I think a case could be made that it should be the legislative branch.
	But, you know, they're even pushing back now to shut down that avenue.
	They're even pushing back on the idea of the districts being drawn up by the legislature, which is clearly the letter of the Constitution that the state's state legislatures do this.
	And it is something that has been a tradition for better or worse with gerrymandering.
	Since the early 1800s and actually beyond, it was given that name in 1812 of gerrymandering, but it was, you know, the districting being done by the party in power to their advantage is something that goes back to the beginning of the republic.
	They did not require contiguous districts, and now it's become a science where they can use computers to, you know, skip from one side of the road to the other.
	That happened in North Carolina 40 years ago.
	They had a particular district that was named after the road, interstate or whatever that was, and they just went from one side to the other, you know, cherry-picking voters to create this district that they wanted.
	But right there in North Carolina, they have, now the Supreme Court says, no, we'll have judges pick those districts.
	Well, that's nowhere in the Constitution.
	They're doing that because they want to remove the constitutional language that says that the state legislatures are in charge here.
	Now, this extends, there could be legal jeopardy for some Republicans in six other states.
	There were seven battleground states where the Republican slate of electors, not recognized by any state officials, put themselves forward to say, well, we are part of the Electoral College, when they were not, under any argument.
	Other states involved could possibly be Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, depending on whether or not the Attorney General wants to do weaponized political prosecutions like the Soros Attorney General does in Michigan.
	January 6th, prisoner is taking his obstruction charge all the way up to the Supreme Court in a historic move.
	January 6th President has taken the obstruction charge that was levied against him, and of course against hundreds of other people in January 6th defendants.
	He's applied to have that heard by the Supreme Court.
	It doesn't mean the Supreme Court will listen to it.
	Of course, you know, the Supreme Court I guess a lot of appeals, but they don't hear very many cases.
	Most of them are not heard.
	This one may be because there's so many of these involved.
	On July 7th, attorneys for January 6th prisoner Edward Jacob Lang, Jake Lang, filed a document with the Supreme Court challenging the government's obstruction of Congress charge, one of the most common felony charges used against January 6th defendants.
	It carries a 20-year prison sentence.
	They said, we filed what is called a writ of certiorari, if I'm pronouncing it, cert, as we just call it that, since I think even lawyers may have a problem pronouncing that.
	What is called a cert, right?
	According to the writ, he filed a motion to dismiss the Section 1512 count prior to trial.
	A district court granted his motion.
	However, On a consolidated interlocutory appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, they denied that.
	They overturned that judge. So what he's saying is, look, I moved to have this appealed.
	I had a judge said yeah.
	And then the court above him overturned that.
	So we've got a difference of opinions between a couple of different courts here.
	So I'd like for you as the Supreme Court to make this determination.
	So we'll see what happens, because there are hundreds of people that this is going to affect, depending on what the Supreme Court does, if this is an overcharge or not.
	I mentioned this briefly yesterday, but let me give you some more information about the fact that you've got an elderly pastor and his son, another elderly man, facing three years in prison because they used the bathroom in the Capitol.
	Now, how does that interfere with the vote count?
	They were not violent. They didn't shove their way in.
	As a matter of fact, they were directed in by the Capitol Police.
	Casey Cusick, his elderly father, James Cusick, and David Lesprince, a family friend who is also elderly, are facing up to three years in prison for walking into the Capitol building on January the 6th for nine minutes.
	Nine minutes. So they get a year in prison for each of the three minutes.
	This is just outrageous.
	Outrageous. So, yeah, there we go.
	They entered the Capitol building as they entered it.
	A cop told them how to get to the bathroom, while other surrounding law enforcement officials waved the massive crowd of peaceful demonstrators into the building as lawmakers certified the stolen 2020 election results.
	Police are documented in videos of the quote-unquote crime scene, taking selfies with the protesters, who would later be listed on the FBI's Most Wanted list as domestic terrorists for stepping foot inside this sacred building.
	Casey is a father of three.
	James, his father, is a 74-year-old pastor and a Purple Heart recipient.
	David is a 70-year-old grandfather.
	They are charged with four federal felonies for stopping to use the bathroom in the Capitol building, including knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority for nine minutes while they use the bathroom, disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds according to the Department of Justice.
	Well, ordinary Americans understand that this is bogus and preposterous, I said, but of course, they're going to be going before Democrats and Democrat jurors.
	Why were they there?
	Who was it that told them to go there on January the 6th?
	What did they hope to accomplish, right?
	We should be talking about this.
	You know, this is so much worse in terms of Sandy Hook or whatever.
	The fraud that was committed against their own listeners, against their own followers, and all the rest of this stuff.
	Jail, suicide, and all the rest of this stuff.
	The Justice Department's U.S. Attorney offices have secured a 99.8% conviction rate.
	It's a kangaroo court.
	They really don't care about throwing these guys in jail.
	What they care about are the millions of people who will simply not bow to tyrants that will hear about them being thrown into jail for going to the Capitol to raise their voices.
	That's what this is about. That's what this is about, said the attorney representing them.
	Casey Cusick described the trauma that he and his family have endured after being terrorized by the FBI, surveilled and stalked by the Bureau's agents for two and a half years, the financial burdens of being deemed a domestic terrorist by the federal government while facing the prospect of years in prison for the few minutes he spent in the bathroom.
	I believe beyond a shadow of any doubt in my mind that this is a political persecution, he said.
	And this is an interview, by the way.
	The story was a gateway pundit.
	So he said, they're going after our country.
	They're coming after us because there's one thing they're trying to prove.
	Don't ever support Donald Trump ever again.
	Don't. He's not essential to us.
	And he's not standing between you and them.
	He stood aside. He threw you under the bus.
	He said, go into the capitol building.
	I'll be there with you in a moment.
	I never went. He is non-essential.
	He told us that we were all non-essential.
	He's the one who's non-essential.
	Non-essential to our liberty.
	We went to the rally because Trump wanted us to come up there to support him.
	We had no intention of going into the capitol.
	Trump said at the end of the rally, now we're going to go down to the Capitol, peacefully protest our right to protest an election, and we wanted to go down.
	So around 2.15 p.m., we started walking down toward the Capitol.
	The building was covered with people.
	You couldn't even see the steps.
	We got up to the Capitol about 2.30 p.m.
	There were no barricades. There were no policemen even outside.
	There were just a lot of people standing around chanting USA when standing there with their flags.
	People were climbing the scaffolding.
	We walked around and stood on the steps for maybe a half hour.
	It was freezing cold. I mean, it was like in the low 30s.
	The wind was blowing really hard.
	My dad, who was 74, was freezing, and I ended up having to go to the bathroom after a while.
	I saw an open door on the left of the Capitol steps, and it was open.
	I saw the 100th grandma and child walk out of the Capitol.
	I'm like, hey, I've got to go to the bathroom.
	Maybe we can go inside. We walked inside, and people were just walking around.
	People of every race, every ethnicity you can name.
	Anybody and everybody was in there.
	It wasn't just white males like they, the government, and the media tried to portray.
	There were about six cops with helmets on standing to the left when we walked in.
	People were talking to them. I have video of them taking pictures with people.
	I eventually went up to the police officer and said, is there a bathroom I can use?
	And he pointed me towards it.
	I went in towards the restroom.
	The line was like 60 deep.
	I mean, it was so deep it was overwhelming.
	So I said, um...
	Meanwhile, all these people were being waved into the Capitol, onto the House floor.
	He said, it was definitely like you invited somebody over to your house and then you called the cops on them for breaking and entering.
	Same exact thing.
	So he said, the police never said, sir, you can't be in here.
	We could hear something over the loudspeaker, but it was so muffled.
	We couldn't understand a thing that they were saying while people were chanting USA, USA. As we looked for the exit, I asked a police officer, how can I get out of here?
	Can I go back from the door I came in?
	She replied, no, don't go back that way.
	You've got to come this way.
	Now, I don't know what it is, but something about what she just told me to do felt totally wrong.
	So I began walking in the opposite direction to exit the building.
	And she didn't try to stop me or anything.
	I later found out, while researching a map of the building, that she was directing us to walk right onto the house floor.
	That she was waving us to go in.
	I'm glad I didn't follow her instructions there.
	I turned around, we walked back out.
	We weren't even in the building for a full ten minutes.
	So they said as they made their way from the Capitol grounds, they saw police beating protesters with nightsticks.
	They also saw them indiscriminately shooting at people's heads with rubber bullets and throwing canisters of tear gas and flash grenades at the crowd.
	Riot police with shields were brutally assaulting Trump supporters.
	I saw a cop busting a guy's head wide open.
	I have a picture of it. The man had his head split wide open.
	I mean, he had a two- or three-inch gash in the side of his head.
	He said, we weren't there to fight the cops.
	There were people that started pushing and shoving, which to this day, I don't know if they were even Trump supporters, because we know now how infiltrated the crowd was.
	Well, then the FBI starts to come after him.
	And they talk about how they were stalked, how they were raided, all the rest of this stuff, and the cost that has happened to them and to their family, how they were frightened, how they have lost friends and jobs and positions and all the rest of this stuff.
	He said, the younger guy said, I had a small business at the time, which I lost.
	I was making really good money as a broker.
	I worked with a couple of realtors that were supposedly Christian people.
	As soon as they saw me on the local news, they ghosted me.
	One of them actually still owes me money but never would answer my calls.
	He never spoke to me again after that.
	I lost my small business.
	Well, you know, so many people lost their small business because of what Trump had done in 2020, earlier.
	And it's one of the reasons why I will oppose him.
	I don't care what it costs me.
	I don't care about the fact that he's got 90% of Republicans who love him, who will excuse him murdering people, literally murdering people.
	I will oppose him, and I don't care what the consequences are.
	And I'll oppose Biden as well.
	I've gone almost an hour here, so we're going to take a quick break.
	Before I go to break, though, I want to say thank you to, on Rumble, to Frank Neeb.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. On Rockfin, Stephen Kaspar says, We really need a none-of-the-above choice.
	I agree. You know, that was one of the things that we always had as part of the Libertarian Party platform.
	When you got an election, You ought to always have none of the above.
	And if none of the above gets the most votes, then guess what?
	The consequences wouldn't be that you just hold the election over again, you know, because you're going to get the same people.
	You would have to hold the election over again, and all the people who were there, besides none of the above, are not eligible to run again this next time.
	Yeah, that's really what we need.
	On Rockfin, Marsh Wiggle, It says, even the good guys, quote-unquote, who do get in, do nothing.
	Yep. Trey Gowdy was the district north of me.
	What a showboat.
	He talked purdy, and he did nothing.
	And now he's got his contract on Fox News.
	That's what he was after.
	And, you know, I put Jim Jordan in the same, you know, Jim Jordan has taken his place.
	Jim Jordan is far more effective as a speaker.
	But just as ineffective at doing anything about it.
	And of course, he, you know, sucks up to Trump.
	So, you know, it's a very popular thing for him.
	On Rockfin, John John said, I contend it wasn't ignorance by Trump, but he was playing the role they designated for him.
	I agree. They had the trap set.
	They told Trump, we need you to work them up.
	Trump may be stupid, but he ain't that stupid.
	He was playing the role as Judas Goat.
	I absolutely agree.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	Making sense.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Surprise, we find that the U.S. has finally canceled funding to the Wuhan lab.
	Wasn't that interesting?
	And yet, only one lab.
	They're not shutting down the gain-of-function research, and we've got more than 200 of them.
	As a matter of fact, that was the case back in 2014, where you had a lot of lab accidents and leaks and other things that were happening in the United States.
	And there was an excellent series that was run by an investigative reporter for USA Today.
	And she pointed out, you know, there's over 200 of these things.
	If you've got a university that's close to you, you've probably got one of these biosafety level three or four labs that are there.
	But in China, there's only one, and that's the one in Wuhan.
	The only biosafety level four lab there.
	But, of course, when we...
	Look at the way that it's being reported.
	It is amazing, but not surprising to me how much press is being given to this by especially conservatives.
	And of course, Zero Hedge is jumping in on this because they talked about this association In January, they got kicked off of social media.
	Twitter purged them for a while because they talked about this.
	And so, in a sense, it's a vindication for them to say, well, look, this is pretty well known.
	This was on the LinkedIn profile of one of the guys here.
	They were trying to tell everybody it was a bat soup at the wet market, and yet right next to the wet market was the Wuhan lab, the only biosafety level four lab in China.
	I pointed that out in December.
	As a matter of fact, that was the first one at InfoWars to point that out.
	But I also said, don't follow any of this.
	We know what this plan is.
	And yet it was used to fear monger.
	Jews to scare people about the virus.
	And that's the way this is being used now.
	Let's understand what the history of this is.
	As I said, there was a lot of talk.
	There were congressional hearings back in 2014.
	Obama was president. But you had Congress tell them, and that's the NIH. Them is the NIH. That's Francis Collins and Fauci.
	You're not going to do any of these bioweapons.
	Shut that stuff down.
	We're going to have a pause on this.
	We're going to have moratorium on this.
	Shut it all down. Well, Francis Collins and Fauci did not shut it all down.
	They moved some of it offshore to escape the oversight, but they kept spending their money, which they were told not to spend on that.
	But they even had some American university research continuing on.
	UNC Chapel Hill, good example of it.
	And when they published their research, people in the field were outraged.
	They said, you're supposed to stop that.
	How? Francis Collins said, well, I determined that I was going to keep going.
	You don't care. They don't care what Congress says.
	They don't even care if you cut their money off.
	They will move money over from another program to do what they want.
	So even having the purse strings in Congress, you can't control these agencies.
	That's why I said they need to be given the death penalty.
	You need to remove these corrupt institutions.
	And then reevaluate whether or not they are even a constitutional function.
	But you need to get rid of all the people that are there right now.
	For starters. And you need to stop this research.
	Well, when did it start back again?
	December of 2017.
	After Trump had been there almost a year, he restarted it.
	It was Trump who restarted the bioweapon lab research and removed the pause.
	Now, you're not going to see that in any of these articles from conservatives.
	They're all going to talk about the bat lab, and they're going to talk about The Wuhan lab and all the rest of this stuff.
	And since they won't talk about Trump doing it, they make it about Fauci and they make it about Wuhan.
	And that's it. They don't want to talk about the NIH. They don't want to talk about Trump's role in this because they want to make it about China and they want to make it about the virus, not the vaccine.
	They don't want you to see the real bioweapon.
	And they don't want you to see that this is a bipartisan bioweapon.
	The vaccine is. And so this whole thing is a red herring.
	We've gone from bat soup to red herring in all of this.
	So that's the real purpose of this.
	And it's very disappointing to see how this is being used.
	The Biden administration has halted, said Zero Hedge on Twitter, the Biden administration has halted the Wuhan Institute of Virology's access to federal funding after the lab failed to provide documents about safety and security measures.
	This just happened, dot, dot, dot.
	Now? And a bunch of question marks.
	Well, again, who lifted the pause?
	Trump, December 2017.
	Look, I have no, when you look at these emails and messages that are being pushed back and forth, I have no doubt that they tried to create a bioweapon out of this stuff.
	No doubt about it. The good news is that they failed.
	But the bad news is, is that the conservative press and the Republicans and people like Rand Paul and even people like RFK Jr., Are now focusing on the virus, focusing on the lab, and this is misdirection.
	Total misdirection.
	Understand, these people who were trying to create a bioweapon at the NIH, Fauci and these other people, At the same time, he's running bioweapon programs to do gain of function to make these pathogens more deadly and more easily spread.
	He's also paying Planned Parenthood to kill babies, murder for hire, and to buy the body parts from these babies.
	I mean, think about the evil of not just Fauci.
	It's not just Fauci. It's the entire agency that's there.
	Think about the evil of that.
	And so I'm glad that they failed.
	But let's talk about what they didn't fail on.
	And that is the vaccine by a weapon.
	You know, when did all this, and they talk about, oh, look, we had all this heavy censorship and everything that was happening.
	This is what people are talking about. Look at the text, look at the emails, look at the censorship and all the rest of the stuff.
	Again, when did this happen?
	It happened from the very beginning.
	It happened going back to January and February of 2020.
	It happened all throughout the Trump administration, all throughout all this lockdown stuff.
	Again, It is a bipartisan bioweapon.
	They weaponized the attacks on free speech.
	They shut down any talk about this coming from China.
	And again, it's a red herring to keep you from looking at the vaccine.
	But it's also being used...
	To provoke a cold war, perhaps a hot war with China.
	And this is why they're focusing on Wuhan.
	You know, Biden doesn't have any problem if it's going to push a war with China.
	Sure, let's say that this came out of China.
	Let's blame this on China.
	And that'll be another way that we can push everybody to accept a war with China.
	I have to understand what they're after with this stuff.
	And why wouldn't they do that at the very beginning?
	Why were they so manic to close this stuff up?
	Well, and to censor everybody about this.
	In my opinion, it was because they wanted us to believe that the virus was real, a real threat, regardless of where it was coming from.
	But they didn't want to blame China at that point in time because they wanted us to do what China was doing.
	Nobody had ever locked everybody down.
	Nobody had ever sealed people in their rooms, healthy people, quarantined, en masse like that.
	And so they didn't want to discredit what China was doing because that was also a big part of the attack.
	If they would have said this was irresponsible action by China, that it leaked by accident, or that it was deliberately put out there, would people have followed their lockdown stuff?
	I don't think so.
	So it was necessary to not make China a perpetrator at that point in time.
	Just as it is necessary to make them a perpetrator now in order to push escalating war with them.
	And again, you go back and you look at all of the...
	Matt Taibbi's got texts that are going back and forth about how they wanted to censor people and all the rest of this stuff.
	But the good news is the virus is not deadly.
	What's deadly... Where the lockdowns, the ventilators, the remdesivir, and all the rest of this stuff, and the vaccine.
	And they don't want you to see that, but they do want you to be angry with China.
	And this is one of the things that so disappointed me about RFK Jr.
	You know, by floating this stuff out there about an ethnic bioweapon, he is, now people start debating, well, is it or not something that was targeted and, you know, Did not affect Chinese people or Jewish people.
	So they got people arguing about that.
	Is this anti-Semitic or is it not?
	As they argue about that, the subtle message is that yes, it was a bioweapon.
	And yes, it was a threat.
	And yes, the lockdowns and the vaccines were justified, in a sense.
	As a matter of fact, you know, when you look at what is happening with this, Rand Paul is still coming after Fauci.
	And, you know, an all-out war against Fauci is the headline from Steve Watson.
	Is that a good thing? Who does that serve?
	You know, if you are looking at what Rand Paul has done, remember how he came after Fauci and excoriated him for saying, he said, Dr.
	Fauci, you're creating vaccine hesitancy.
	Well, I've spent years trying to create vaccine hesitancy because I've seen the people who have been injured by MMR and all the rest of this stuff.
	Why doesn't Rand want to create vaccine hesitancy?
	Why would that be a bad thing?
	And as he's lecturing him, you know, you're going to hurt our sponsors, big pharmaceutical companies, right?
	Because Rand Paul was feeding at the trough as well.
	He had his wife buy remdesivir stock.
	Gilead, pharmaceutical, selling the remdesivir stuff.
	That was Fauci's remdesivir.
	These guys, this is so typical of the phony opposition, right?
	They're having this argument, you know, and oh, daggers, you know, being thrown at each other, verbal daggers, and yet both of them are making money hand over fist with Gilead's remdesivir.
	Just so phony.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we're going to have Tony Arterman joining us.
	A lot of things happening now, escalating towards a global ID. What is happening with BRICS? What are they going to be doing?
	So Tony's going to be joining us.
	We'll be right back. The Common Man.
	The Common Man. They created common core and dumbed down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	TheDavidKnightShow.com All right, welcome back and joining us now is Tony Ardobin of Wise Wolf Gold.
	And Tony has kindly set up a DavidKnight.gold that will take you to Wise Wolf.
	But there's so much happening now, Tony.
	Thanks for joining us. There's so much happening.
	The weaponization of...
	The currencies and stuff we see in the UK with Nigel Farage, you know, finally a lot more documentation has come out.
	Regardless of what you think about anyone, the idea that they are persistently working to shut people out of, you know, PayPal, they shut me out about a year and a half ago.
	It was about... Well, actually, it's been two years now.
	Wow. It was only about five months into this program, and they shut me down on PayPal and Venmo.
	But now, you know, they're doing it through the banks for political figures in the UK. It was weaponized in terms of sanctions against nations, against Russia, and there's consequences of that, as you've been talking about, and things that are coming up with BRICS and stuff like that.
	But now we're seeing that at an individual level as well, because that's where this is all headed.
	Well, first of all, it's great to see you again, Dave.
	I got my David Knight Show mug.
	It means I've increased my IQ at least a couple of points, so we'll see if we can get some good content out of it.
	Oh, you're absolutely right. I mean, the financial system weaponized against all of us, and not just all of us, but countries as well.
	I mean, that's why we have We're good to go.
	Humanity, just historically, if you read history, is decentralizing.
	We want to decentralize.
	We've innovated to do that.
	I think that's why they're rolling out so many things so quickly, trying to stop that.
	If you look at the implementation and the development of the central bank digital currencies, which is happening, the IMF talking about that using the unicoin, the one coin, everything goes back to a centralized processing system.
	But I thought it was interesting that the Bank of International Settlements, even last week, and I covered this on my show, said that countries need to change their constitution.
	Yes.
	We need to change the constitution in order to roll out central bank digital currencies.
	They know that the financial system is the ultimate weapon.
	It's one of the things that when I talk about on my show, my podcast, really going back to the origin story, you know, fiat is fake.
	It's the head of the snake. Everything that we see in our current reality is based off of fake money.
	Fake money, fake politicians, fake wars, fake news, all of that.
	It's all fake. And it has real consequences.
	So I think this is something to really watch.
	And people... I was teaching my...
	My crew here in Branson, yesterday I said, look, you guys need to download a decentralized wallet.
	I use Exodus. I'm not affiliated with them, but that's a decentralized cryptocurrency wallet.
	You know I'm in the precious metals business, but I think there is something to having decentralized cryptocurrency, learning how to use it.
	I'm not saying put everything in that basket, but I like things like Bitcoin, and I was showing them how to use that.
	We're going to download how to keep your keys.
	And I showed them, I said, look, I've had a wallet.
	For four months, it had a device that was destroyed.
	So it's gone. I can't access that device anymore.
	But before I had that happen to that device, I wrote down the 12-phrase words that I could keep in a safe, in a fireproof safe.
	I need to. I can reactivate that wallet.
	And lo and behold, I showed them.
	It came up. And all the crypto, I had about $400 worth of crypto on that wallet.
	And it just started to initialize.
	And it's right there. Those are my funds.
	It's not tied to a bank.
	That's why it's so important for people to understand the difference between the top-down totalitarian central bank digital currencies, which are a nightmare, and frankly, it's the hill to die on.
	I mean, if you're going to oppose something, it's the hill to...
	It's not political, folks.
	Central bank digital currency is not political.
	It's pure evil, as my friend Charlie Robinson says.
	And I really think that people need to understand the difference, learn how to use cryptocurrency.
	Again, I'm not... I'm not an evangelist for it.
	I like gold, and so I'm in the precious metals business.
	But these are technologies worth learning.
	Yes, absolutely. And, you know, it is not something that's even just Western nations.
	You know, when we talk about the bricks that are out there, Russia's just officially unveiled its CBDC ruble.
	They're all doing it.
	The key thing is that the power still resides with we the people.
	And how they control us is by controlling our minds and our wills.
	And if we can break this lie that this is not inevitable, if enough people wake up to this, I'm absolutely convinced that because we still see Pushbacks against organizations trying to put masks on us or to keep them there.
	There was a lot of outrage by individuals and institutions to the fact that In-N-Out Burger said, well, we don't want you wearing masks to work unless you've got a doctor's note to do so.
	And boy, that got all these institutions really upset with him and public health people and all the rest of the stuff.
	But the reason that this all came off was because people just said, you know what, I'm not going to do this anymore.
	And so the power really does reside with us if we will wake up and stop this.
	But the longer we wait to stop this and to have alternatives to it, the more difficult it's going to be for us to say no to these people, isn't it?
	Well, absolutely. And I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to politics now, but I look and I see in this country, in the United States of America, I see the Republican Party as a tool used to slow you down, to neutralize you, to think, oh, so this got an R next to his name.
	He's fighting for me. I'm good.
	You know, especially we've got the cult of Trump still happening somehow.
	I don't know how this is possible, but he still has a massive following.
	And I think that's the danger here.
	They're rolling it out.
	If we, the people, stand together, if we oppose this, if we talk to our friends and our neighbors and our family and we explain, I mean, the mainstream media is not going to do this.
	We've learned that through the last 20 years.
	They're not going to cover anything until it's already a fact.
	So I would really implore people to speak out, to share information, especially on this show, The David Knight Show.
	Get people this information. This is really, it is the hill to die on.
	It's the most important thing facing us is the centralization and the top-down totalitarian control of our financial system.
	They will use a crisis to implement it.
	If you look at history, like I do, and you look at the planning process, Of previous generations.
	And then you compare it to now.
	Even the corruption that we had through the 1960s with the Johnson administration and the Nixon administration, nothing compares to now.
	Because even those administrations had off-ramps to peace.
	They had diplomacy, whether you agree with it or not, through Nixon and Kissinger.
	They called it triangular diplomacy with detente to the SALT Treaty with the Soviet Union opening China.
	There was moves geopolitically to strengthen the U.S. position.
	I mean, Nixon took us off the gold standard, but again, they tried to strengthen the U.S. position through the petrodollar.
	There was always something, whether you agreed with it or not.
	We do not have that anymore, ladies and gentlemen.
	They have stopped doing anything to strengthen the position of the United States.
	It's almost like a suicide cult or a suicide pact or something.
	I think it's a controlled demolition in a lot of ways because there will be those who benefit from the collapse of the dollars, the world's reserve currency.
	I think you're seeing those people wanting to continue to push the current policies, which is destroying what little value we have left in our dollars.
	I agree. And when you look at it, people supporting Trump and they really don't understand CBDC, and a vast majority of people don't know what that means, right?
	They don't understand that. But if you ask them one by one about the individual policies that come along with it, oh, they...
	Disagree with all those different features, quote-unquote.
	They're bugs, but they call them features.
	They disagree with all that, but they don't know about CBDC. Now, we've had, in terms of candidates who have come out and talked about this, we've had DeSantis first, and then you had Ramaswamy, then you had RFK Jr.
	They're the only ones who have come out, to my knowledge, in terms of even saying this is a bad thing.
	It doesn't mean that if any of the three of them got elected that they would necessarily stop it.
	But at least they're pointing out that it is a bad thing.
	DeSantis, you know, as Kristi Noem said, well, we've got this bill that has been pushed to Republican legislatures, about 25, 26 of them.
	And she blew the whistle on that and said, you've got to shut this thing down.
	They're trying to outlaw crypto and the Universal Commercial Code, the UCC, as something that you can use to settle debts.
	And then they want to explicitly put CBDC in there.
	DeSantis did the exact opposite.
	He went the other way with UCC, trying to get other state governors to do it.
	So perhaps he would do something about it.
	Have you even heard Trump even mention CBDC? Not once.
	I haven't either. Because it's all about him, isn't it?
	It's about him and his criminal records and his aggrieved election from...
	But it's completely looking backwards.
	And that's the other way that we fall in the pit.
	We're looking backwards and we're not looking at what these people are bringing at us in the future, in the very near future.
	So that's a key thing.
	If you look at these guys and they're not even talking about it, but they've got some little...
	Modifications of smart cities.
	He's got his freedom cities. Instead of calling them smart cities or 15-minute cities, he calls them freedom cities.
	You look at this stuff, that's also a big tell, I think.
	So it's very concerning.
	But going back to Russia, Duma TV said that it's ready.
	Other people are saying that they're looking at the Bank of Russia has announced that they're going to roll out their CBDC 2025 to 2027.
	I think that's probably about the same time frame.
	That the Fed is probably looking at because they've already started their wholesale thing.
	They started it this month. And they can let this thing go for a couple of years and then roll it out and probably will do it right after the election.
	They're probably thinking that after the election, as the new president is sworn in in 2025, we're going to come in gangbusters with this CBDC. That's my guess.
	I don't know. What do you think? Well, all the world's a stage.
	People are cheering and taking sides with the conflict going on between Russia and Ukraine and the West and NATO. And I'm just pointing and saying, look, I'm not a Russophile.
	I understand why Russia invaded Ukraine.
	I understand if China had bio labs and was parking weapons in Mexico, we would have a problem with that.
	I think that's just common sense.
	But I look at this and I see this is a race to control the new world order.
	That's all this is. The BRICS nations, which we can talk about, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, their new currency that they're looking to create backed by gold coming up in August, so next month.
	This is an attempt to rule, have the hegemonic dominance of the world through coalitions.
	So you go from the United States being the head of the New World Order to China and Russia.
	So it's, again, you're just flip-flopping.
	Russia had the Sputnik vaccine, and I remember hosting your show in Austin, and, you know, we have the, Pfizer says it's 94%, and Moderna's 96%, and remember, and then the Russians, like, we have 98%, you know, percent effective.
	So it's, again, these are just competing factions.
	There's really no good guys here.
	Governments are trying to race.
	They're making a race to who can control their populations more efficiently, faster, and they're going to see who gets there first.
	It's like a space race, but inverted.
	That's all this is. That's right.
	Yeah, it's all been weaponized against us.
	And so what you're seeing at the international level with these CBDCs and these various approaches, that is just the same type of thing that we're seeing with different political parties.
	Because in every country, it didn't matter what the political party was or what their philosophy was, they all did what the UN, World Economic Forum, Bill Gates wanted them to do.
	And we saw that here in the United States as well.
	So it's just which of these guys are going to enact the agenda?
	which of them gets to, uh, you know, uh, be in power.
	Uh, they don't really care what the agenda is as long as they're the ones who are in power.
	So they're fighting amongst themselves with game of Thrones, but you know, it doesn't really change anything with the rest of it.
	I thought it was kind of telling that, uh, Sam Altman, who is the open AI, the chat GPT guy, right?
	He's, he's establishing himself pretty young guy.
	He's establishing himself as, uh, the next mover and shaker, a billionaire, I think, Of course, there's a lot of competition.
	You've got Zuckerberg, you've got Musk, and all the rest of these guys.
	I just don't understand why people think that any of these billionaires are good guys, and that includes Trump.
	I mean, that's how these people got to get that much money was over the backs of other people, typically, that much money.
	But, you know, when you look at what is happening, he's saying, well, you're going to, he's also involved, this guy who's, Sam Altman, who's part of ChatGBT and OpenAI, he's also involved with WorldCoin, and he says, well, you're going to get a global coin whether you like it or not.
	And that's the key thing.
	You know, these guys are just going to shove this thing down, whether we like it or not.
	It's going to come. There's no doubt about it.
	And we've just got to figure out how we are going to oppose it individually and try to escape that system of control they're going to try to impose on us.
	And if enough of us do it, we can make that system fail.
	But even if you can't get other people to do it, you've got to take action on your own, don't you?
	I think it was the son of Paul Warburg back in the 50s told Congress, you know, we're going to have world government either through acceptance or through violence, but we're going to have it one way or the other.
	These people aren't God.
	They're not God Almighty.
	They didn't create everything.
	And I think there's variables out there to give us some hope.
	It doesn't mean that we've won.
	I wouldn't start acting arrogant or spiking the football.
	But you look at – there's variables here.
	Look at Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Talking about tying the dollar to gold or Bitcoin to have some sort of stabilized standard.
	Can you imagine, David, even five, six years ago, anybody, any major candidate saying anything about the dollar?
	I don't remember that.
	I don't remember people using the word fiat like they do now.
	It's everywhere. I've got an article we'll talk about here in a minute.
	It talks about the major buyers of gold by generation.
	We're seeing an uptick in people abandoning the system because the system is rigged.
	I think people know that. I mean, you talk about DeSantis, and that's good.
	You just applaud people when they do well, when they speak up against something like central bank digital currency.
	But again, the trend of history, if you look at the Protestant Reformation, the American Revolution, people, humanity as a whole, is moving away from centralization.
	The elites know that.
	They're doing everything they can desperately to push us back into a centralized system.
	They'll use war.
	They'll use intimidation.
	They'll shut you down like Nigel Farage.
	They'll use their financial, they'll weaponize the finance system against you.
	But technology and really the free market, if we still have whatever's left of it, is I think people want to decentralize.
	And that, to me, gives me hope.
	That it's even entering our discourse, I think, is hopeful.
	Yeah, I agree. I think we've got to push back against this as much as we can.
	As you point out, we don't know what any of these candidates are going to do.
	But when they talk about the right thing, and that was the thing that really bothered me so much, you know, DeSantis held a special press conference, and he's got a, on his podium, says, you know, stop big brother digital money, and he talks about the CBDC and what he wants to do with the UCC code and ban it and so forth.
	The first question he gets, but what about Trump in Manhattan, you know?
	I was like, What? They didn't care anything about that.
	All they wanted to do was talk about this, you know, Game of Thrones war that's going on there.
	But I'm glad you brought up the RFK Jr.
	thing because I wanted to ask you about that.
	You know, what do you think about this?
	I mean, we've talked about, you know, the Texas and their idea of having, well, we're going to have a digital coin that's going to be backed by gold.
	And you said, well, you got to be careful about that.
	What do you think about his idea in general?
	I think it's a good thing that they're talking about, you know, why...
	The U.S. dollar is not trustworthy.
	What about this solution?
	Do you think it's a solution? I do.
	I think there's something there.
	I think that we should explore that.
	I like the idea. I don't like the idea of having the dollar pegged to a gold standard necessarily because last time that happened, Franklin Roosevelt made your gold illegal, made you turn in the gold in 1933.
	Now, we became the world's reserve currency in Bretton Woods in 1944, and gold was $35 an ounce.
	But it was still illegal for you to own gold until 1974 when Gerald Ford overturned FDR's executive order.
	That's why you can put gold in your pocket today.
	That's why you can walk into my shop and leave with physical gold is because of Gerald Ford.
	That's, to me...
	Again, I even ask the question, why are governments in the currency business?
	I know what the price of gold is worldwide.
	I have a Bitcoin standard.
	I've got a gold standard.
	There's ways to have decentralized cryptocurrencies with a blockchain technology.
	I don't need you. I think they know that.
	I mean, this is one of the reasons they want to cause a crisis to put us all into a central bank digital currency.
	But, you know, on a face value, David, I like the idea.
	I'd like to explore it. I wouldn't say I'd endorse it right now, but that's far-fetched.
	If the elites would ever think about tying the dollar to something finite like Bitcoin, there's only 21 million Bitcoin ever created.
	So 21 million.
	Not 21 trillion. There's 21 million Bitcoin.
	If you're able to peg the dollar to that, like where every dollar was like we used to have silver certificates.
	I get those notes in here all the time.
	We used to have the gold notes, silver certificates.
	That was your dollar. You go to the window at the treasury, you could get the equivalent of silver for turning in that certificate.
	That's long gone. But if you did something like that with the dollar, I think that would make us very competitive worldwide.
	That would really be the answer to To BRICS, you know, the BRICS Nation's meeting next month talking about pegging their currencies to gold.
	And the Mises Institute put a great article out on Zero Hedge yesterday about the BRICS meeting and said, look, you know, if they tie their currencies, these basket of currencies to gold, it will devalue their own currencies for a while.
	Mm-hmm. Even their own currencies will be because gold will go up.
	The demand for gold will go up.
	That's why the United States is the only central bank not buying gold right now, David.
	Every other central bank is a net buyer because the dollar is at war with value.
	That's clear. Since we went off the gold standard in 1971, gold was $35 an ounce.
	At the end of the 70s, it was over $800 an ounce.
	It's not because gold went up.
	It's because the dollar lost purchasing power.
	So they've been trying for my entire lifetime.
	To keep the price of gold suppressed because this is a war for value.
	So I think something like a Bitcoin would be a better option.
	Because I already have a gold standard, which is interesting, right?
	I mean, if I can turn my...
	Gold and silver are liquid.
	I'm surprised that anybody saves...
	Why would you save the currency of the United States?
	Why would you save a Luciferian bank?
	You have 7% inflation.
	The best you can hope for in a bank is 3%.
	You're a net loser. And again, metals swing and they fluctuate and they go with the markets, but it's gold and silver are money.
	And they always will be.
	Throughout human history, gold and silver are money.
	And I think that's something to look at, but also RFK Jr.'s idea, and it's not just his idea, I've heard this before, but a major candidate saying that?
	Yeah, yeah. And what he's saying is, he's saying gold, silver, Bitcoin, platinum.
	He's saying, you know, maybe they do a basket of these things.
	But yeah, the key thing is that it's being talked about.
	I don't know if, you know, as you pointed out, if Russia and China do that and back their currencies or their cryptocurrencies with gold, if that would force the hand of these people to do that.
	It's just, when we look at it, maybe that's one of the reasons why...
	You've got Larry Fink trying to do something with this ETF to manipulate the price of Bitcoin, because we know, as you point out many times, that paper gold and paper silver, where they supposedly have real gold and silver at the Shanghai Gold Exchange, And that's backing it up and they sell you that stuff of, you know, shares of it over the stock market as ETFs.
	If they were to do something like that with Bitcoin, it's certainly going to make a lot of money for BlackRock, but it's also going to be possibly a way for them to manipulate the price of it too, don't you think?
	Certainly. It reminds me of something that Thomas Jefferson said.
	He said, merchants have no country.
	Yeah. Right? Merchants have no country.
	There's no patriotism here.
	I mean, you'd read, you know, what's good for General Motors is good for America and vice versa.
	Long gone are those days after NAFTA and GATT and CAFTA, right?
	And the WTO. All those days are gone.
	But you look at somebody like Larry Fink.
	It reminds me of Jamie Dimon.
	I mean, Diamond at JP Morgan.
	I think it's Dimon's correct. But, you know, he came out and said, oh, you know, this was years ago when I first opened my shop for Wise Wolf in San Antonio.
	And he says, well, you know, Bitcoin, we don't ever want to touch it.
	We don't ever want to be involved in it.
	It's used for money laundering and drug cartels.
	The next day, the price of Bitcoin went down and then there was a little blurb that there was going to be, I think two or three days later, there was going to be an exploratory buying center through JP Morgan on cryptocurrencies for their clients, right?
	The same thing is happening with Larry Fink.
	These people are looking around saying, well, the dollar is about to lose its hegemonic dominance.
	Let's triangulate here.
	Let's have some other options.
	Bitcoin is one of those options, and I'm not saying it's the answer, but you look at the dollars on its way out.
	These banksters are going to jump on whatever bandwagon brings them the most power and wealth.
	I think we've seen that throughout history.
	It's nothing new under the sun here.
	But that is something to watch.
	And you look at when you see somebody like Larry Fink, who's an ESG cheerleader.
	I mean, you ever seen somebody, you know, the capitalism cutting its own throat with getting rid of energy and going off, you know, getting out of the oil business and going into things like the woke agendas of Disney and Anheuser-Busch.
	That's environmental social governance.
	And again, that's... Really nothing new here.
	The largest capital in the world always funds socialism and communism.
	I think that's pretty clear throughout history.
	But no, I think that they are looking for what's next, David.
	I think it doesn't mean that Bitcoin is going to go up right now.
	It doesn't mean that you're going to see this go parabolic again.
	But I will say, and I'm not giving any investment, if I buy Bitcoin daily, I buy a little bit every day because I think that you're going to see...
	It will break its all-time high within the next 12 to 24 months, in my opinion.
	Non-investment advice, not telling you to go out and buy Bitcoin.
	But I just think that somebody like Larry Fink, the big capital betting on it and talking about it and getting people to look at it, it's huge.
	You should pay attention to it. And I look at it in a sense, the way you remember when it spiked up to like 60,000, it was because they were going to allow it.
	The institutions were jumping in on it.
	And I can't remember exactly what it was.
	Maybe you remember what it was that they did.
	But I looked at it. It's like, okay, great.
	Everybody's looking at this and saying, oh, look, it's being validated here.
	I said, no, it's actually the institutions are going to jump in on it.
	They're going to manipulate it. And they did.
	As soon as they got in, you know, they crashed it.
	You know, and after they made their money, because they make money when it goes up and when it goes down, they don't make any money when it goes sideways.
	So I think that's a key thing.
	But, you know, you look at him selling ESG. This guy knows exactly.
	He says, let's not use that term anymore.
	Doesn't mean that they're not going to keep doing what they're doing.
	Let's just not use that label anymore.
	You know, they nudge you, they propagandize you, they do psyops on you with their labels, and so that label has now been exposed as to what it is.
	So now we've got to put a new mask on the policies that we're going to be doing out there, but they're not going to change the policies that they're doing.
	But, you know, before we talk about what's going on at Wise Wolf, again, going back to the Bricks thing, that's coming up sometime in August, right?
	August 22nd. August 22nd.
	Okay, that's right. Yeah, we talked about that, I think, last week.
	I mentioned it's close to Travis's birthday.
	We'll find out what's going on with that.
	And if they do something with that, that's going to have a big effect on the price of gold if they back their BRICS stuff with gold, if they make some kind of announcement.
	I mean, what is the scuttlebutt as to what they think people are going to do with that?
	Are they going to announce all their currencies are going to be tied to gold or something like that?
	Because they don't have a BRICS currency.
	No, and it's going to be like a currency linkage through gold, from what I understand.
	And I got this information, well, I mean, it's public information, but Jim Rickards, I mean, he was an insider, worked for the Central Intelligence Agency through their financial network.
	And he's a gold bug, talks about, you know, currencies, and a really smart individual.
	I follow Jim Rickards. But he's saying that this is, they're going to announce it, that they're going to have a gold-backed currency.
	These countries have a vested interest because of their gold holdings in their central banks to make the price of gold increase.
	And we don't.
	The United States does not want that to happen.
	The dollar does not want gold to go up.
	This will create a real problem.
	And you go back to an earlier show we did.
	We talked about the economist Robert Triffin with Triffin's dilemma in the back of the 1960s when he testified before Congress about the problems of being a world's reserve currency and having it not backed by anything.
	What happens when you lose that status?
	Will those dollars get repatriated and they're either going to get repatriated into gold or they're coming home?
	And you're talking about estimated quadrillions.
	Because since 1944, David, we had to stock those central banks with dollars all around the world to make it the world's reserve currency.
	And then we went off the gold standard.
	We went to a petrodollar.
	But Biden, you know, he killed the Keystone Pipeline and then stopped buying so much from Saudi Arabia.
	And again, the Chinese came in and replaced us as the bulk buyer.
	From the Saudis, we're losing all of the petrodollar.
	We've weaponized the dollar.
	We're going to lose that status.
	It is going to happen. And the question is of timing, not if.
	And so I think that's what we're going to see.
	It'll be a major blow to the dollar if the BRICS do indeed announce.
	And I'm guessing that they will or do something because I think those countries are desperate to get away from the dollar system.
	And as we talked about last week, a lot of companies, countries applying to join the BRICS people, because for the longest time, Russia and China have looked at this in India.
	We don't want to be dominated by the American dollar.
	So they have been gradually preparing for this.
	But then Biden really kicked it off by weaponizing it.
	And I think on an individual basis, we've all seen what is happening to the American dollar with what the Fed policy is and all the rest of this stuff.
	We don't even have to ask what Janet Yellen is smoking anymore.
	We know she's doing mushrooms.
	Four portions of mushrooms.
	But she can't stop bowing to the Chinese.
	But we've seen the reckless mismanagement of it.
	But now we have also seen the ruthless politicization of it as a weapon, you know, with the Freedom Convoy, with what's going on with Nigel Farage, and many other things.
	And as people are looking at the code, we've got a guy looking at the CBDC code in Brazil saying, yeah, all that stuff that they've talked about doing, it's all in there, you know, where they can freeze your account, they can steal money from you, they can label you and, you know, track and control all these different aspects.
	It's all there. So it's not a theory.
	It's actually in code.
	And it's not just in Brazil.
	It's in all these different things.
	So if people wake up on an individual basis the way the BRICS people have to the way this is being weaponized against us, not just something to dominate us, but now it's being used as an actual weapon against us, I think that's going to be a real sea change.
	So what have you got at Wise Wolf to help people do that?
	Well, there was an article up, and I noticed the...
	Markets Insider, I wanted to make sure I got the correct attribution, but Market Insider put an article out Millennials are hoarding more gold than boomers and Gen Xers, and I wanted to speak to that because I see that boomers and Gen Xers buy more in bulk from me, but I see more volume from younger people now, especially going into something like we have our membership program with Wolfpack.
	So this is something that's true, but the problem is if you read the article, they're buying ETFs.
	The paper gold. Right.
	More than boomers and more than Gen Xers, they're buying the paper gold, which is they're on the right track, but they're doing the wrong thing.
	And I think that's a generational issue because, you know, boomers go back to 1945 and then Gen Xers start, I think, 1968.
	So more comfortable in the old system.
	You know, things have always been that way, so you get normalcy bias.
	Even if you're a Gen Xer like me, and, you know, the Gen Xers have been notoriously rebelling against the system, but we still kind of go back to king dollar.
	And I think the younger people, you know, growing up and seeing the 08 crash and everything that happened after that and the financial instability of the housing market and so on, are looking to do something outside of the system.
	Gold, crypto fits that.
	But again, they're not wrong about millennials.
	And I think the problem is the millennials are just not buying the right things.
	You need to buy physical gold and silver so you have no counterparty risk and And the ETFs, the funds there, it's very debatable, and I would doubt that they have all the bullion.
	If you cash in your ETF, ladies and gentlemen, you don't get gold out of it.
	They send you fiat currency.
	So yeah, you can peg it to the spot price of gold, but I'd be very careful to think that you're actually holding gold there.
	The best way to get gold and silver is through a dealer that you trust and understanding how to buy it.
	It's one of the reasons we set up Wolfpack.
	A lot of people think, well, I don't have enough money to buy gold and silver.
	Yeah, you do. You just go to wolfpack.gold or you go to davidknight.gold and you can go and join the $50 program.
	We're going to send you not just one coin a month.
	We'll send you different things like goldbacks.
	We'll send you American silver eagles.
	We'll send you pre-1965 silver dimes, quarters and half dollars.
	There's all sorts of things you can do with a limited budget.
	You don't have to have thousands and thousands of dollars.
	And this is one of the reasons we have close to 800 people now all over the country on Wolfpack and a lot of money.
	A lot of them are David Knight listeners, and we really appreciate you guys, and that's why we're giving away the free silver dollar.
	If you upgrade or join Wolfpack and give David Knight attribution, we will put a...
	I think I've got like 50 left.
	Something like that. They're sitting right over here to my right.
	We bought a big load of silver dollars, and those are dollars made in the 1920s and before.
	So anything could be in the late 1800s.
	I just kind of pick. It'd be a Morgan or a Peace dollar.
	So... The best way to get into the market, folks, is to get physical metals and understand how to do that.
	And Wolfpack's got some great things going on.
	We're about to announce a tier for kids.
	It's going to be called Wolf Cub.
	And it's like $35 or something.
	Kenzie and I are working out the details.
	But we're going to put... We're good to go.
	They're interested in silver.
	They're interested in gold. They want to know about it.
	They want to know about these old coins and why the new coins don't have any silver in them.
	It's always fun to teach.
	That's cool. Yeah, I remember with our IRA, we'd have to put something in.
	It's like, well, you know, How do I get in the stock market?
	And so I started getting into paper gold and paper silver, and then I noticed that they were not tracking with the price of gold and silver.
	What's up with this?
	And I started doing some more research, and it's like, oh, okay, maybe there's nothing real there.
	So I got out of that stuff.
	But yeah, that's where the millennials are right now.
	They've gotten half of the message.
	But they're going to fall for that other thing.
	And I guess that's one of the reasons why you got Larry Fink thinking that he can do that again with a similar thing, but with Bitcoin.
	So again, I think money is the gold stuff, and it isn't yours if you don't actually have it.
	If it's supposedly in a bank somewhere in Shanghai, yeah, good luck with that.
	It's not real. It identifies as money, though, David.
	That's the problem with it.
	It's very much fake.
	I mean, if you've got an ETF, and I noticed this in some of the apps, like you can own Bitcoin in, say, the Robinhood app, and I don't know if they've changed it since then, but you can't move it.
	So, you know, it's not really yours.
	It's not really, it's their Bitcoin, so to speak, right?
	They let you have, you know, your shares or your Satoshis or whatever, but you can't move them.
	You don't have a wallet.
	And that's why it's important to understand the difference.
	That may be something that's interesting.
	That may be another reason they want to control Bitcoin.
	The value in that, they see the regulation coming down where it's going to get harder and harder to have decentralized cryptocurrencies.
	I don't think impossible.
	It's going to get harder and harder.
	They're going to give it away for, oh, investors, you can just put your money in here.
	We'll hold it for you.
	Don't worry. But that's not really crypto.
	Yeah.
	And they're just going to be, he's going to be using it as a, you know, like a speculation of an investment type of thing, rather than the real value of it long-term, which is using it as a medium of exchange as of currency and that type of thing.
	And again, it's always going back to, it kind of takes it back into a proof of stake way.
	It's It takes something that's based on proof-of-work, Bitcoin, and kind of turns it into a proof-of-stake.
	And you're going to believe that BlackRock has got stake in Bitcoin, when they may actually not have any stake in that at all.
	They've just got stake in authority.
	That's where all this CBDC stuff is coming from as well.
	Well, it's great talking to you, Tony.
	It's a great plan, and people need to understand...
	Where this is coming, they need to understand how to provide for themselves independently, to have a parallel path, but they're also going to pick the right horse to ride, and that's a lesson that it takes us a while to learn sometimes.
	So yeah, physical gold, physical silver, that is the key thing, I think.
	And it's important to have somebody that you can trust, and that certainly is the case with Tony Arterman.
	Known him for years, done business with him for years, and don't just pick somebody on the internet that you don't know because they can just disappear.
	As I've talked about, the people who thought they were buying gold and silver or Bitcoin, they found out that everything about the website was fake.
	No, Tony is there. He's real.
	You can actually visit his businesses that he has in Texas and in Arkansas, or Missouri.
	I guess it's in Missouri, right, Branson?
	Yeah. Branson and North Texas, David.
	And it reminds me, you said you could meet me in person, and I talked to our mutual friend, Billy Ray Valentine, yesterday.
	We have a, if I may plug, because you're going to be on our network very soon, freeworld.fm.
	We're going to have you on there as really our, that's our star that we're putting on Free World.
	But we've got a conference in New York City.
	On the anniversary, coming up to the anniversary of 9-11, on September 9th, it's FreeWorldNYC.
	You can go to eventbrite.com to find information.
	Again, it's September 9th, and we've got some magnificent speakers.
	Richard Gage, formerly of Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth, Charlie Robinson, Don Jeffries, Wayne McCroy, John Brissom, myself, I will be there to speak, and others.
	Gar Goldsmith, The Great Guard Goldsmith will be there.
	So if you want to meet me in person, you come see us there.
	I think the information there is going to be next level.
	I can't believe I'm on the panel.
	It's an honor. But I'm going to talk a little bit about the anniversary of 9-11, and I'll talk a lot about our financial system.
	And I think this will be kind of a post-BRICS meeting, too.
	So I'm preparing for that.
	So go check that out. Yeah, that's going to be just a couple of weeks after the BRICS thing happens, and by that time you'll be able to see kind of early reactions to it.
	Richard Gage is no longer with Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth, is that correct?
	No, I think he left last year.
	It's now Richard Gage Unleashed and Wise Wolf Gold and Silver sponsoring him going out to New York City.
	And I think we're just really looking forward to his presentation.
	Always very well researched.
	Oh, yeah. Absolutely. And I don't know if you've had him on, but he would be a great guest here.
	Yeah, I've had lawyers for 9-11 truth on it.
	As a matter of fact, last time I've had them on, the last couple of times I had them on, we talked about what happened with the anthrax attack the week after 9-11, because that really is the second shoe to drop.
	You know, it was even simulated two months, as you know, before 9-11.
	So those two things, in my mind, Are connected even though they're 20 years apart.
	And so it is very important that we understand that to get the bigger picture of where they really wanted to go.
	There was a lot of stuff that was laid down as a result of 9-11, you know, coming after patriots with the Patriot Act and all But all of this, you know, scanning people and checking people out at airports and controlling our travel, it's all part of a plan.
	There's a lot of different threads that are all coming together, and it's all accelerating now because they've got to have this all in place within the next six years or so.
	Very important. Well, that's good to know.
	So, again, people can give us the name of that event again.
	It's FreeWorldNYC, and you can find the tickets at eventbrite.com.
	And, of course, if anybody has any questions you can't find it, just go to wisewolf.gold and message me, or you can text the toll-free number there, and I'll message you back if you have a problem finding.
	That's great. And so Wise Wolf Gold, and again, you can get there also through davidknight.gold.
	Thank you so much, Tony, for what you do for this program.
	Really do appreciate it. Appreciate you, sir.
	All right. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
	Stay with us. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Alright, we're going to talk a little bit about, I'm going to save you some money here in just a second with something that's coming out this weekend.
	I can hit it off so you don't waste your money on it.
	That's the Barbie movie.
	But before I do, I just want to say thank you to some of the people we've received checks from recently in the mail.
	Deborah H., John R., Todd M., David and Joan F., Martin T. Jack H., thank you so much.
	We really do appreciate your support.
	And the program is not possible without your support.
	So thank you very much. I really do appreciate that.
	And on Rockfin, we've got Gard Goldsmith.
	Thank you, Gard, for the tip.
	I appreciate that on Rockfin.
	Saluting the two key men who have played such an important role in backing freedom and preparing for the future.
	Thank you, David and Tony. Well, thank you.
	That's kind of you. Again, Gard will be there in New York, and he will be here In about a week and a half, we're going to be going back to Texas for a wedding, my daughter's wedding, and Gard is going to be taking the show, so I'm excited to see that.
	Gard always does a fantastic job, and so we're happy to have him hosting the show.
	He's going to have some great guests as well.
	Uh, so, um, we'll be gone for about five days, but, um, you know, he's got the helm and we're glad to turn it over to him.
	Let's talk a little bit about Barbie.
	And I, like I said, I'm going to save you a little bit of money here.
	A couple of reviews have already hit and the movie is going to be released this weekend.
	Uh, they may actually release it tonight as some people who can't wait to go.
	And probably those people are not listening to this program.
	Uh, but you know, you can, uh, if you understand where this thing is coming from, uh, It truly is amazing.
	Sarah Vine gave a review on the mail saying that she feels sorry, quote, for those who subscribe to this nonsense and the young men who are growing up in a world that tells them that they are worthless.
	Because as this article from Daily Skeptic says, it's a vehicle for some of the worst anti-man prejudices of the modern era.
	Maybe we should spell that E-R-R-O-R. So here's part of what she had to say.
	She said every one of the screens in the place had been commandeered by Barbie when she went to see the film.
	She said, I took my daughter, who's 20 years old, with me, partly because she had nagged me half to death about coming, partly as an unsullied Gen Z counterpart to my grumpy mummy stance on Barbie.
	Despite the tagline that says, if you hate Barbie, this is the film for you, I really didn't think I was going to be their target audience.
	And so it happened.
	She said, my daughter loved every second of it.
	Me, not so much.
	My main criticism actually has nothing to do with the subject matter.
	Barbie or no Barbie, it's not intrinsically that good a film.
	It's uneven, disjointed, the plot makes no real sense, and the dead hand of corporate America weighs heavily upon it.
	And we'll talk about what she means by that.
	She and another reviewer.
	We'll talk about that. Anyway, she says, but my main objection is that Barbie's not really a film about Barbie at all.
	It's one hour and 54 minutes of extended misandry, which is like hating men, like misogyny, right?
	I'd never seen that word in print before, but that's what it means.
	Dressed up with a few fun dance routines and one or two Granted, fairly decent jokes.
	She said, it's a deeply anti-man movie, an extension of all that TikTok feminism paints any form of masculinity.
	You know, quite frankly, when we talk about China, you know, the big issue with TikTok, that all these people who said, well, we want to ban TikTok, the big issue with it is not the fact that they're going to somehow get information on you.
	That's not really the big issue.
	That's what they say they're concerned about.
	The real issue, of course, they are doing that as well.
	I think the even bigger issue with TikTok is I think they have weaponized all this LGBT radical feminism and everything.
	I think they're using that as a vehicle of cultural warfare against us, in my opinion.
	They don't allow any of that stuff in China.
	But they push it very prominently, and they really do push it.
	They elevate the people who put that kind of stuff out there.
	That's why Libs of TikTok has been able to go on TikTok and grab all that stuff and put it on Twitter and become very big in terms of social media because it's just rife with that stuff.
	The Chinese are promoting that to the nth degree.
	And so it really is a kind of TikTok feminism, a kind of TikTok LGBT stuff that's there.
	It paints any form of masculinity, she says, other than the most anodyne, as toxic and predatory, and it frames women's liberation not as a movement based on achieving equality between sexes, but as a cultural revenge vehicle that is designed to write men out of the story altogether.
	Every male character is either an idiot, a bigot, or a sad, rather pathetic loser.
	If the roles were reversed and a male director made a film about how all women were hysterical, neurotic, gold-digging witches, it would be denounced, and quite rightly, as deeply offensive and sexist.
	And this is not a theory.
	I mean, that's essentially what Andrew Tate does.
	So she's kind of the female feminist, radical feminist counterpart to Andrew Tate.
	In a nutshell, Barbie and Ken set off on an adventure to the real world.
	To discover the source of Barbie's sudden, uncharacteristic anxiety, Barbie gets a nasty shock.
	She's not as universally popular as she imagined.
	Ken, on the other hand, has a tremendous time plugging into the macho culture of L.A. and discovering that there is such a thing called the patriarchy.
	He then turns into a real...
	LA, known for its macho culture.
	Some real alpha men out there in LA, for sure.
	Yeah, yeah. I don't hear you through my microphone, but I can hear you through the booth.
	But yeah, he's saying the real macho culture out there is not a real thing.
	I don't think that your microphone was coming through.
	But anyway, he turns into a real man.
	Again, sketched in the most one-dimensional of cliches, he goes back to Barbie land.
	He organizes the equivalent of an incel uprising, quite literally, given Ken's lack of tackle, she says, and brainwashes all the Barbies into becoming his willing slaves.
	Queen Barbie, also known as Margot Robbie, must then mobilize a counter-revolution, which she does with the help of her human friends.
	And they put the Kens back in their boxes.
	Oh yeah, quite literally.
	The film ends up with her checking into a gynecology clinic, presumably so she can become a real woman.
	Oh, well, I guess she gets the surgery, right?
	See, I just saved you $10 to $15 each, and you can pass that savings on to other people who might have made the mistake of going to see this garbage.
	Another review, this one from Jordan Rumi, says, If I was somewhat at first hooked on the story of Barbie and Ken traveling from Barbie Land to the real world, I completely clocked out Once this director, Gerwig, decided to hammer down a speechifying lesson in the film's second half.
	And as we've talked about before, this director that did this garbage has been picked by Netflix to defecate all over the tales of Narnia in a series.
	So yeah, just imagine.
	Thanks for that gut punch, Hollywood.
	Ha ha ha!
	Yeah, we talked about this before, one of your favorite series that we covered, one of your kids.
	These guys loved Narnia and Lord of the Rings, but now, you know, Amazon's killed one of them and Netflix is going to feminize the other one of the radical feminist director, I imagine.
	I've used so much as harm a hair on Reaper Cheap's head.
	And what a messy last half hour it is, he says.
	He throws everything but the phone book to assault us with her faux messaging.
	By then she's already juggled multiple twists and turns, some of them inspired, others falling flat.
	But her empty disdain for the patriarchy, a word mentioned almost a dozen times, does her a disservice.
	Yeah, that's a key sign of where this director is coming from.
	This keeps repeating that word, patriarchy.
	They really hate it, don't they?
	Barbie is a feminist fantasy that paints men as the problem in society.
	You know, I think this movie is going to become a meme.
	It's already a huge meme because of Ryan Gosling.
	The internet is obsessed with Ryan Gosling.
	Really? Yeah. Well, I think it'll become a meme for everything that's wrong about feminism, I think, is what it's going to wind up with.
	I don't know. We'll see what happens with it.
	What can you say about a film that opens with a lame 2001 Space Odyssey parody featuring girls playing with dolls and then bashing and smashing them while saying, we don't have to be mothers anymore.
	Wow. Wow.
	Isn't that amazing? I mean, do you really want to support something like that with your money?
	That's not entertainment.
	That is weaponized hatred.
	Do you know which demographic is most dependent on antidepressants and alcohol?
	Single white women who are childless over the age of 40.
	Yeah, yeah. That's the first generation of it, too.
	The following generations are going to have it worse.
	Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's amazing.
	Yeah, you look at it, it's just so pink.
	I was talking to Karen. We were laughing about...
	You probably remember this because you were the older brother.
	I think you were maybe about four years old.
	And your younger brother was three.
	And Karen loves sales.
	And she saw at...
	I think it was at Goodwill or something.
	She saw this motorized little car for the two toddlers.
	Just past being toddlers.
	But it was pink.
	And it said on it, Barbie.
	And she brought that thing home.
	I said, what'd you get that for?
	That's a Barbie car.
	It was a great sale.
	They're not going to know the difference.
	They can't read. They're not going to know this is Barbie.
	They don't know anything about Barbie.
	They don't have, you know, little friends that are girls and everything.
	They don't go to kindergarten or school or anything.
	They're out here in the middle of the woods. And nobody's going to see them driving this thing around anyway.
	We brought that in. And my youngest son...
	Who, again, could not read the Barbie on it, but he says, that's pink!
	That's a girl's car!
	They would not get close to that thing.
	We never used it.
	No, we'd not talk to them about that thing.
	She took it back, but... You know, we've not talked to them about any of that stuff.
	It's kind of like the other side of that was one of our friends at church, and she hated guns, and she didn't want her son to have guns.
	Wesley, right? And so she wouldn't let him have guns.
	And our boys, you know, we got them all the guns we could find, knives and swords and everything else.
	And they were having a big time with it.
	She had a problem with that. And then she came around because she said, one day, she said, it's just natural.
	I just saw him outside in the yard and he's picking up sticks and going pew, pew, pew, pew.
	And so she goes, all right, I give in with it, you know, but it's, there is a certain thing that is there and you got to train the kids to go in another direction, frankly.
	But, and she thought, well, maybe we can just spray paint that thing.
	It's like, no, you're not going to, it's plastic.
	Anyway, in Gerwood's world, The director.
	The females have to lead through and through.
	They are the brains of the operating world, whereas the Ken men are just so low IQ. They're morons, and they need to stay that way.
	Basically, what she's kind of doing here is...
	Male-female version of the time machine where he goes in the future and he finds these Morlocks.
	And, you know, they're preying on the Eloi.
	Except the Eloi were pink, so you can reverse the colors here, but...
	But the females are kind of like Morlocks, and the men are kind of like Eloy.
	And that's the way these people, like this female director, Gerwig, wants to see the world.
	The thing is, these tropes have been present in media my entire life.
	I remember noticing it as a child, just being like, why are all the men idiots?
	My dad's great. Why is every dad on TV a moron?
	Yeah, that's been there a long time, yeah.
	Homer Simpson. They're just able to be completely overt with it now.
	Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I grew up in the father knows best...
	It was a very different thing.
	Very different. But anyway, finally, finishing up with this thing, the film is certainly a spirited affair, drenched in pink campiness, and it criticizes at every step its own existence, but it also reeks of, and this is the key thing about the corporate stuff, right? It reeks of corporate feminism.
	The kind that only sees things in black and white, never digging deeper in the nuances that come with the territory.
	And this is what I liked about this film.
	He says, despite all the marketing and steroids, right, marketing on steroids that they're doing, a lot of hype, a lot of big budget with this, big stars and so forth.
	Don't be mistaken.
	He says this film is just another ploy by capitalism to sell merchandise.
	And its true brilliance hides behind its faux-subversive facade.
	Oh, that is true.
	You know, we stop and think about corporations and how they say, well, you know, we are really subversive.
	We're going to subvert society and all.
	And they do that in order to make money, right?
	It's like Bud Light or whatever.
	This faux-subversive facade that they have.
	When in reality, you know, they're making a lot of money from that.
	And they're trying to get, everybody thinks, well, we're going to be non-conformists, we're going to rebel.
	I've seen this from the middle of the 20th century.
	They've been doing this with teenagers forever.
	Rebel against your parents.
	And here's the new culture that we're going to sell you.
	So go out and buy our stuff so that you can rebel.
	All of you dress alike.
	All of you listen to the same music.
	All of you think alike.
	As rebels. And it's not rebellion.
	It's conformity.
	And it's conformity to sell you products.
	That's the bottom line. But I just saved you some money, so don't support that garbage.
	And it is absolute, total garbage.
	We'll be right back. Analyzing
	The Globalist Next Move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	you you Thank you very much, Unrockfan.
	Thank you, Carlos Rex.
	Thank you for that tip. I appreciate that.
	It's very kind of you. Let's talk a little bit about the military.
	And what I say is no longer DEI. When we're talking about the military, these types of policies are D-I-E. Diversity, equity, inclusivity are policies that they're using to try to kill our society.
	Take this into the military.
	It is going to quite literally kill people.
	And the Pentagon gives more leave for abortion than for parents' funerals.
	Yeah, this was Tom Cotton talking about this.
	And in response to what the spokesperson for the Pentagon had to say about this, let me play you what he had to say about abortions in the military.
	Why is the new DOD policy on abortion critical to military readiness?
	I'm really glad you asked that question.
	No, I mean, I really am.
	One in five members of the U.S. military are women.
	20%. We're an all-volunteer force.
	Nobody's forcing you to sign up and go.
	People volunteer to go.
	You raise your right hand and you say, I'm going to do this for a few years or even for my life.
	And it might cost me my life to do it.
	And when you sign up and you make that contract, You have every right to expect that the organization, in this case the military, is going to take care of you, and they're going to take care of your families, and they're going to make sure that you can serve with dignity and respect no matter who you are, who you love, or how you worship or don't.
	And our policies, whether they're diversity, inclusion, and equity, or whether they're about transgender individuals who qualify Physically and mentally to serve, to be able to do it with dignity, or whether it's about female service members, one in five, or female family members being able to count on the kinds of health care and reproductive care specifically that they need to serve.
	That is a foundational, sacred obligation of military leaders across the river.
	I've seen it myself.
	And it matters.
	Because it says we're invested in you because you are being willing to invest in us.
	You're investing your life, your family's livelihood with us.
	We owe you that back in return.
	I had a chance a couple of weeks ago.
	Yeah, they're so grateful, aren't they? Some military spouses here at the White House.
	Some were active duty members.
	Some were spouses. All were women.
	And 201, they told me.
	That abortion laws in this country that are now being passed are absolutely having an effect on their willingness to continue serving in uniform or to encourage or discourage, in this case, their spouses from continuing service.
	So if you don't think there's going to be a retention and a morale issue, think again, because it's already having that effect.
	So that's why people aren't signing up re-enlisting, right?
	In the Navy, I think you all know that, and Son-in-Law, too.
	They're both stationed down in Norfolk on destroyers.
	They're proud to keep serving their country in the Navy, but the Navy told them where to go.
	You go where you're told.
	That's the way orders work.
	You go where you're assigned.
	You don't get to choose. And so what happens if you get assigned to a state like Alabama, which has a pretty restrictive abortion law in place, and you're concerned about your reproductive care?
	What do you do? Do you say no and get out?
	Well, some people may decide to do that.
	that and what does that mean that means we lose talent important talent and we're all again an all volunteer force recruiting is tough enough i can't take this anymore i can't take this anymore Yeah. So what do you do about that, you know?
	Who you worship, how you worship, or whether you don't worship, right?
	Oh, we just got to honor that.
	How did that work with the Jabs?
	How did that work when they were trying to abort their own soldiers with the Trump shots?
	They really didn't give a fig about what you thought, about your worship, about your religious beliefs.
	Didn't care about that at all.
	Didn't care about your health either.
	Oh, let's talk about reproductive health.
	No, they don't want you to reproduce either.
	They don't want you to plan for parenthood.
	They don't want you to be a parent.
	All of that is just double-talk lies.
	All of those labels are antithetical to what they're pushing.
	And this whole idea, well, you know, we've got to do this, and the Pentagon is going to help women with this.
	The Babylon Bee got it right.
	Had a headline, something to the effect, and I don't have it right here in front of me.
	I'm just kind of going from memory.
	Babylon Bee talking about what he said there, what Kirby said.
	He said, yeah, this policy is to give the military practice at killing innocent people.
	Yeah, that really is.
	You look at their ethics, lack of them, and all the rest of this stuff.
	We owe you, he says.
	You signed up for this stuff and we owe you?
	Yeah, what was the gratitude that they had for the people who didn't want to take their experimental mRNA things?
	Whether they did it for health reasons or whether they did it for religious objections.
	They didn't think they owed these people an explanation or even a hearing.
	They just rubber-stamped denied it over and over again.
	Yeah, that's their gratitude.
	That is one of the reasons why.
	Key reason. Not because people say, well, if I get in the military, I may not be able to have an abortion.
	Because I might be stationed in one of these backwards places where they protect life.
	That's not hurting their recruitment.
	What's hurting their recruitment?
	Is what people have seen with the vaccines.
	What's hurting their recruitment is what people are seeing with the way they're pandering to the trans insanity.
	So Tom Cotton was on Fox News.
	He criticized the Biden administration for accusing Republicans of politicizing the military for pushing back against the abortion travel policy that gives people more leave to travel for abortion than they do for parental funerals.
	Cotton said they're going to pay 15 days of leave, not charged against your annual leave and your travel and your lodging and your meals, so that you can go get an elective abortion.
	But if your mom or dad dies, you get to take leave out of your 30 days of annual leave, and you have to pay all your expenses.
	Those are the Democrat Party's priorities.
	So to have an abortion...
	We'll give you 15 days, and it doesn't count against your leave or your vacation, and we'll pay all your expenses.
	But if your parents die, no, that's going to come.
	Any time that you take out, that's going to come out of your annual vacation, and you're going to pay all of your expenses.
	John Kirby. Yeah, that's, we owe you, right?
	No, they've got an agenda.
	And then it gets even worse.
	What surfaced yesterday was this new memo talking about what they're going to do for transgender soldiers.
	Those who want to get hormone therapy or surgery can avoid deployment for as many as 300 days.
	But we're just talking about hormone therapy, not even surgery.
	Surgery, you may not ever be fit for duty.
	But they're going to have a different standard for the trans than they do for everybody else.
	This is why I say this is the way the military D.I.E. dies.
	They have a special facility that they've set up at the Womack Army Medical Center.
	It almost sounds like mocking women, doesn't it?
	W-O-M-A-C-K. Womack, I guess.
	We're going to mock the women.
	This is at a place that they now call Fort Liberty.
	It used to be called Fort Bragg.
	And I guess Braxton Bragg is so happy now that they got rid of his name.
	Can you imagine?
	Can you imagine the Civil War general?
	You know, you tell them, this is what they're doing in the place they named after you.
	What? What? It'll require up to 300 days to be stabilized on cross-sex hormone therapy, and they will remain in a non-deployable status during that time.
	Wow. Yeah, I guess we could call this the Corporal Clinger memo.
	You know, he was always cross-dressing to try to get a Section 8, get them to say he's insane, he gets to go home from the Korean War.
	All these bitter clingers out here.
	Well, now they've got something to celebrate these bitter clingers, too.
	Because now, if you do the cross-dressing and the cross-hormones, you get to avoid being deployed for about a year.
	And they'll do it for you for free.
	How about that? You get all that stuff, and you don't have to go to war.
	You know, quite frankly, these hormones, as bad as they are, might not be as bad as what you might get if you actually go to war.
	Or take their vaccines.
	The memo said after 12 months of hormone therapy, transgender service members can request then surgical care.
	Oh, more leave. More leave for them.
	Such as upper and bottom surgery.
	Oh, they can really mess you up there.
	Wow. That's amazing.
	But they're going to use this as a tool for LGBT recruitment.
	Because they want to make the military an LGBT force.
	They really do. Because they're going to use the military against the rest of us.
	They want people who will take their shots.
	They want people who have their core values, which they have told us are LGBT. They made no bones about that.
	Facial body contouring could be performed at the Womack Center in Fort Liberty, but was not considered since it is considered to be cosmetic.
	Laser hair removal was not considered to be cosmetic, but medically necessary in the case of bottom surgery.
	So all these people, you know, who are out there Trying to fundraise to get all of their body modifications and, you know, to destroy their physical body and make themselves miserable the rest of their lives.
	Now they can go in the military and they'll do it for you.
	The memo said it could take between 9 to 18 months to complete a gender transition, and during that time, a service member can request an exception to policy so that they could use self-identifying gender standards for uniform, grooming, fitness testing, as well as self-identified gender billeting, bathroom, and shower facilities.
	So, you know, Giuliani got the treatment.
	He was queen for a day.
	He got to go in and talk to the prosecutors, you know.
	Anything you want to tell us, we won't charge you against that, right?
	Queen for a day. Well, these people can be queen of the military forever.
	You know, you go in, it's going to, you know, first you get your hormones, then you get your surgery.
	Well, all that stuff is going through.
	You got years of this stuff.
	Are you ever going to do anything?
	Well, not necessarily.
	You just sign up and go into the military and they will mutilate you, you know, and you get to hang out there as a soldier.
	Nothing like training someone to kill and giving them a bunch of hormones that make them unstable.
	Yeah, we definitely want all these people who should have been given a Section 8.
	We definitely want to give them access to state-of-the-art weapons.
	Now, if they were doing this, they're saying, we're going to give every single guy that joins the Army testosterone supplements so you're just absolutely ripped and ready to go at any moment.
	Yeah, let's do it. Awesome.
	Probably not going to give people testosterone or steroids.
	They don't want that. And, you know, as they're doing all this, they get indefinite physical fitness waivers.
	So you don't need the testosterone or the steroids because you don't have...
	If you identify as this, then you don't have to meet any standards at all.
	34-page memo details the enormous perks granted to these members.
	This is the memo that came out.
	And this is what the Biden administration is so proud of.
	Some of the highlights found in the document.
	This is from Zero Hedge.
	Taxpayer-funded care, quote-unquote, for transgender service members includes speech and voice therapy.
	I guess they teach you how to up-speak.
	Is that it? Cross-sex hormones.
	Laser hair removal.
	Voice feminization surgery, facial contouring, body contouring, breast chest surgery, that's upper surgery, genital mutilation surgery, lower surgery, bottom surgery, and of course, psychological counseling for all of this.
	Yeah, they're not looking for a few good men anymore.
	They're not looking for men at all.
	They're looking for trannies is what they're looking for.
	Service members who identify as transgender may receive a waiver.
	For any uniform standards or any grooming standards.
	Well, there you go. Isn't that nice?
	You don't have to worry about your uniform and, you know, somebody looking at it and saying, hey, look, this is a mess.
	You're going to get the merits. No, you don't have to worry about that.
	Or your grooming. None of that.
	Service members who identify as transgender may receive an indefinite waiver for physical fitness standards.
	Service members who identify as transgender will be considered to be non-deployable.
	For up to 300 days, even more after you get your surgery.
	This is the Corporal Clinger memo.
	You get out of everything.
	Just put on a dress, and if you can handle what they're going to do to your body, that's fine.
	I like this label for it.
	I thought this was perfect. Joe Biden's Crayola Army.
	Yeah, the rainbow effect.
	And it is childish, isn't it?
	A meritocracy? No, we don't want that.
	Biden has officially come out.
	Against any merit-based promotions.
	Against any physical fitness standards.
	We're going to get rid of all that.
	Space Force as well. You saw this at the end of Pride Month.
	The person running this Space Force thing created by Trump attacked the proliferation of over 400 state regulations, which she described as anti-LGBT because these are regulations forbidding the mutilation of children.
	And that's a key part of all this.
	You've got to be able to mutilate the kids.
	It's no fun if you don't do that.
	Well, what is happening to the military as all of this is going on?
	It really is a key issue, and it's one of the reasons why DeSantis made this a key issue when he put his name in the hat there in Columbia, South Carolina.
	That's why I say, we are so early in the presidential primaries, That they just started getting people going there to sign up to be on the ballot just this week.
	And he was the first one to do it.
	We're not going to have the first primaries for another six months or so.
	But if you listen to the Trump press, it's done.
	He's the nominee.
	Well, DeSantis said, we've got to focus on getting the woke out of military, quote-unquote.
	We have to restore a mission-first vision for American service members.
	In Columbia, South Carolina, he said the goal is to return the military to its core mission.
	Well, they do have a core mission under the Biden administration.
	We saw this with Ben Wallace in the UK. People in the Biden administration said LGBT and the rainbow flags.
	That is our core mission.
	It really is. That's all they care about.
	They don't care about winning a war.
	The purpose of war is depopulation.
	We've just got to keep this thing going and kill enough people.
	You heard that from the very beginning by Paul Ehrlich with his population bomb.
	We can kill a lot of people with war.
	That would work. We can do even more with some kind of a virus, he said.
	Anyway, going back to DeSantis, he said, we are now in a situation where we find ourselves seeing the military go down a very different path.
	It's a military that's been ordered by civilian officials to pursue political ideology, to pursue social experimentation, to be yet another institution in American life that gets infected with a woke mind virus.
	So DeSantis vowed to ban drag shows on military bases to prohibit transgender people from serving in the military under their preferred gender policy.
	And require military members to meet gender-neutral physical qualifications.
	I guess he would be opposed to this Corporal Klinger memo then, right?
	We need our service academies to stand apart from that.
	We need to be different.
	We need to make sure they're upholding martial values and martial education.
	He said, America's adversaries like China are laughing in our face.
	Oh yeah, they are. The Russians.
	The more and more you inject this political agenda into the military, you are giving China a competitive advantage.
	And of course, it's not just that.
	The U.S. and our allies are running out of weapons to send to Ukraine.
	It's not just the 155mm weapons that, well, now we'll use, we don't have any more of those shells, so we'll just use the cluster bombs.
	It's not just that.
	It's everything, frankly.
	And they're now admitting it.
	NATO is running so low on weapons it may be unable to keep supplying Kyiv.
	I'll call it Kyiv, according to CNN. At the start of the war, the U.S. was producing 15,000 rounds per month of these 155mm shells.
	And they have sent over 2 million of them to Ukraine.
	But they can't meet that pace anymore.
	Because even though they were producing 15,000 rounds a month, and they already had a stockpile of them, and they've increased it.
	They've doubled their production from 15,000 a month to 30,000 a month.
	But they're still firing more than we can produce.
	So we're using up, just as Biden used up our strategic petroleum reserves, he's using up our strategic ammunition reserves as well.
	You know what they probably got plenty of?
	Probably got lots of lipstick and mascara for the troops.
	That's the essential thing, isn't it?
	That's how we win wars, isn't it?
	Lipstick and mascara.
	Maybe they can throw their red high-heeled shoes at the Russians.
	You know, that'd work too, right?
	They're using about 2,000 to 3,000 of these every day.
	Every day. That's how this killing machine is going.
	And when they talk about the delay in the F-16 for Ukraine, they said during a Tuesday press conference briefing, Mark Milley said that the focus should instead be on artillery and air defenses as the F-16s will not be feasible in the near term.
	He said, just do a quick math drill here.
	Ten F-16s are $2 billion.
	The Russians have hundreds of 4th and 5th generation airframes.
	So, if you're going to try to match the Russians one for one, or even, you know, two to one, you're talking about a large number of aircraft.
	And he said it takes years to train Ukrainian pilots.
	You know, I think this is one of the key deals here as well.
	What if they put the F-16s out there and they give them to Ukrainian pilots who are not really well trained or whatever?
	And just like we see the devastation with the Bradley fighting vehicles, at least a third of them have been destroyed already.
	Or the tanks that they're getting from, you know, the leopard tanks they're getting from Germany.
	It doesn't really serve your military or your military industrial complex well where people have all these pictures of your burning remnants of your vaunted, invulnerable machines, whether they're tanks or planes, right?
	It really would not serve the military industrial complex very well to have pictures of their F-16s being shot down left and right, which is probably going to happen, especially with these inexperienced pilots.
	So just from a reputational standpoint, from a marketing standpoint, that doesn't work.
	And we've got to understand, this is the military industrial complex.
	This is a corporate war.
	That's what this is really about.
	You want to give your black eye to the stuff that you're selling?
	You want to turn it into the Bud Light?
	That's what we have done.
	We've got the Bud Light of militaries.
	They can't even deliver this stuff.
	And as all of this stuff is happening, they just arrested the...
	Highest ranking official of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine.
	The senior Orthodox cleric in Ukraine has now been arrested.
	You know, when you go back and look, and this is a key point that Tucker was making when he talked to Pence.
	He's like, aren't you concerned about the attacks on religion that are being done?
	By the people that we control?
	You can do something about this.
	You can tell Zelensky to knock it off if you really wanted to.
	But these are our values as well.
	We have our military that is allied against religious liberty, as we saw with the mandates for the vaccines.
	And when you go back and you look at what is happening in Ukraine, and Tucker really didn't go down the history of this, but go back and look at it.
	You know, the... The Russian Orthodox Church, not the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, but the Russian Orthodox Church goes back to 988 AD. I looked it up.
	The Ukraine Orthodox Church goes back to 2018.
	You know, part of this coup that we engineered there.
	So it was a Russian Orthodox Church.
	Interestingly enough, for the first 300 years or so, the Russian Orthodox Church was based out of Kiev.
	Why? Well, because Ukraine and Crimea were traditionally part of Russia.
	And they moved it in 1299.
	They moved it from Kiev into Russia.
	And they did that because of the Mongols invading.
	And so... You know, for a thousand years, the Russian Orthodox Church, the first 300 or so, was in Kiev.
	But then, you know, it was still the same church, the same denomination and everything.
	But the patriarch, you know, kind of their pope or whatever, the head of their church, was operating out of Russia.
	In 2018, the Ukrainian government decided that they needed to change that because culturally it wasn't.
	They need to push back against anything that had any connection to Russia.
	And we've got to forget about the fact that Ukraine and Russia were all the same, right?
	I remember at the very beginning of this, people get very upset if you said the Ukraine or the Crimea because the Ukraine referred to a region of Russia, and that was traditionally the case for a millennia.
	And so, no, no, it is Ukraine, which is separate.
	It's not the Ukraine. It's not a region of Russia.
	It is a separate political entity.
	Fine. I support self-governance.
	But I do not support it when our government supports this kind of establishment of church and state.
	When they start arresting people and confiscating church monasteries and all the rest of this stuff, I'm not part of the Orthodox Church.
	I don't have any axe to grind with that.
	But we just understand their utter contempt For freedom of religion, just like we see their utter contempt for freedom of speech, even when the Biden administration is told you can't coordinate with social media to censor people.
	They say, well, we want an exemption of that.
	I mean, they admit that Silicon Valley is the deputized state.
	They admit that the censorship is really coming from them.
	And yet you can't get even Mike Pence to criticize The attacks on religious liberty to criticize the establishment of church and state.
	That's why they did this. And it's a good example of why you do not want to have a church and state merging together.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Stay with us. Using free speech to free minds.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	All right, welcome back.
	I see on a daily basis now, people, and it's mostly coming out of the UK, where they're really caught on to the idea, hey, you know what?
	They don't call it a MacGuffin.
	They say, you know, they're doing the same thing to us now with this climate stuff.
	It's climate, climate, climate, climate.
	But it's the same kind of fear campaign, and they want the same things done to us that they did with the COVID thing.
	Maybe it's a plan. First it was COVID. Now we're being scared into submission over the weather.
	And this is from Daily Skeptic.
	But the column came from the UK Telegraph.
	This is mainstream media in the UK. And an excerpt from it, you may have noticed that the climate catastrophism has gone nuclear over the past week, as if on cue, but the good old British weather refused to cooperate, disappointingly, for the we're all going to fry brigade.
	It's cool, rainy, and sullen here with fitful gusts of wind, almost autumnal at times.
	But still, reporters scour for the rest of Europe.
	For better, in other words, for bad news.
	Where is it really hot?
	So we can feed this narrative.
	Tourists at the Trevi Fountain of Rome are invited to agree that the weather is unbearable.
	Well, if it's unbearable, why aren't they back in their hotel room with a wet towel over their heads instead of happily licking their pistachio gelato and soaking up the rays of the fountain?
	Really not very unusual weather events have suddenly acquired important scary names drawn from mythological flames of hell.
	They're rolling out all the stops on this propaganda stuff.
	There is something horribly familiar about all these apocalyptic warnings of catastrophic consequences if people don't act and don't act now.
	You've got to do it right now, of course, right?
	They've been telling us that for decades with the climate stuff.
	That's why when you saw it with the other stuff, that combined with the annual germ games, you knew what was going on.
	Temperatures across the Mediterranean are nearing the high ever recorded in Europe, they say.
	With travelers being warned that local media and health services are strained in some areas.
	And of course, on a daily basis, we also get the counter from Steve Malloy.
	You can see that on Twitter.
	He's good about saying, well, look at this.
	Here's a newspaper publication saying, look at this record temperature here.
	Well, no, we had that back in 1982.
	That was the record. Still is a record or whatever, you know.
	We had it back in 1935, that type of stuff.
	So, yeah, we've heard all this stuff before.
	Something familiar about it.
	Stay home. Save on the sunscreen and support Net Zero.
	It's almost as if the same people who scared the pants off of us during the pandemic, terrorizing people into obeying the often idiotic rules that were being used, are doing it again.
	The Behavioral Insight Team, again, the Nudge Unit, but I like the acronym that it makes, the BIT, B-I-T. They put the BIT into your mouth and the mask over your face, and they put the BIT in your mouth to turn your head any direction they want.
	This is, so the BIT people, the Behavioral Insight Team, the Nudge Unit in the UK, Collaborated with Sky TV. Oh, that's the Murdoch people, the Fox News people.
	And they put out a thing called, quote, the power of TV, nudging viewers to decarbonize their lifestyle.
	And they bragged about how they were going to use behavioral psychology to manipulate the public.
	And they did a TV program.
	Again, they're not trying to hide it anymore.
	They do TV programs about how they're going to propagandize you with their TV programs.
	It's amazing. The behavioral change on climate, they said, can be driven by TV. It comes at a critical time as experts now widely accept that we must shift the behavior of millions of people to deliver our collective net zero goals.
	As I pointed out before, I saw this at the American Meteorological Society.
	You had all these scientists there trying to figure out, well, how do we predict the weather for tomorrow?
	And struggling to do that.
	Meanwhile, you had George Soros organization that was there, and they were telling the meteorologists, look, everybody relies on you.
	If you'll push climate change, they'll listen to you.
	And so now they've gone from that, which I thought was reprehensible enough, And again, they were having a problem with it.
	They even said on their own side, look, most of you meteorologists don't agree with this.
	Of course, they can't predict the weather.
	They know that you can't predict the climate.
	And they also figured out that their models were lying to people, their predictions were false, and all the rest of this stuff.
	But they still, nevertheless, lobbied these people.
	And I've talked a lot about that over the years.
	But now you've got...
	These programs being put out to the consumers telling you we're going to manipulate you.
	And it's a good thing.
	And so the comment from this UK Telegraph article said, you don't have to be a climate skeptic to find something sinister in the idea of broadcasters plotting to manipulate the public into reaching, quote, our collective goals, unquote. Whose goals are they?
	Why is no questioning of whether or not this is in the population's best interest or not?
	What are the alternative points of view?
	Well, of course, you're not going to debate the science, and there's no time to get it right, and there's no time to question any of this stuff.
	We've got to act. We've got to act right now, and that is always the hallmark of a scam, as we saw with Operation Warp Speed.
	Well, that's it for our program today.
	Have a good day.
	Thank you for listening.
	The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
	If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
	Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
	People have to trust me.
	I mean, trust the science.
	Wear your mask.
	Take your vaccine.
	Don't ask questions.
	Using free speech to free minds.
