	Using free speech to free minds.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 10th of August.
	Year of our Lord 2023.
	Well, today we're going to begin with the increasing authoritarianism today.
	An amazing story coming out of Oklahoma.
	It was sent to me by a listener who doesn't live too far away from this particular incident.
	Unbelievable what the ATF is doing to people who, as they sometimes refer to them as kitchen table FFLs, a guy who is selling firearms in a very small town of 150 people, a Baptist preacher who wasn't doing anything wrong, very arrogantly said, we're going to shut down the gun shows one way or the other.
	Yeah, the law doesn't mean much anymore, does it?
	And, of course, we also have a story, DARPA funded AI to detect violations of social norms.
	Yeah, they're going to be looking at everything, aren't they?
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	We'll be right back.
	He says, David, this happened about 30 miles from me here in southeastern Oklahoma.
	They took all of his guns, no warrant, and so far, no charges filed.
	They did it Trump-style.
	Take the gun and do the due process later.
	Maybe. Maybe.
	This is an article from The Truth About Guns.
	They're the ones who broke this story.
	And it is about two weeks old.
	I guess about three weeks old now.
	But I've not seen this anywhere else before.
	And as I point out, the person involved here, Russell Fitcher, a high school history teacher, a Baptist pastor, teaching school is where he makes his money.
	And that was one of the things they had as leverage over him.
	A part-time gun dealer.
	He also coaches Little League in his hometown of Tuskehoma, Oklahoma, which has a population of about 151 people.
	He's 52 years old.
	He's had a federal firearms license for three years.
	He's had no brick-and-mortar gun shop.
	He's what used to be called a kitchen table FFL. He sells his firearms at gun shows.
	Including one in Tulsa.
	He said, living in southeast Oklahoma, if you don't have a gun under $400, people aren't going to buy it, he said.
	Rarely do people come to my house to buy a gun.
	In April, he received a call from the BATF. They wanted to do an inspection.
	He said, yeah, you're welcome anytime.
	What have I got to hide? We don't live in Nazi Germany, do we?
	Well, guess what, Toto?
	We're not in Kansas anymore.
	And guess what?
	Even Oklahoma's not okay.
	Two ATF inspectors arrived a few days later.
	They spent three hours in his home.
	They took pictures of the forms that they fill out when they sell guns, the 4473s.
	They took pictures of those forms with their cell phones, which he found out later is illegal, although it's their common practice.
	Remember, they went through with a combined raid, Of the BATF and the IRS and confiscated records and federal firearm records, which they're not supposed to take, in one other instance.
	Honestly, he said they were way nicer than I expected.
	They said I had some guns that had traces on them, which concerned them, and it concerned me too.
	The inspectors returned two weeks later.
	They said they had some concerns involving his penmanship.
	This handwriting, which they couldn't read on a couple of forms.
	They also found that he had juxtaposed the model number of a firearm with a weapon's serial number, which Fincher was attempting to rectify.
	On June the 16th, he and his son were packing up for a gun show in Tulsa when the phone rang, and it was the ATF. They said they wanted to talk to him before he left for the gun show.
	We can come to your house, they said.
	I told him, sure, I'll be home. Seven vehicles...
	Roared into his driveway.
	It was a SWAT raid.
	And a dozen ATF agents wearing tactical gear and armed with AR-15s.
	They're supposed to have the AR-15s.
	You're not supposed to have them, right?
	It's a militarized weapon.
	Okay, so is our government going to war with us?
	Well, we've got the planes, we've got the bombs, said how many people?
	We had Eric Swalwell, we had Beto O'Rourke, we had Biden himself, talking about how they'll use the military against us.
	And of course, that also includes militarized police force.
	If you look at our police force in terms of its number, we have a police force that's bigger than any other military, at least a couple of years ago.
	I don't know what's going on with China lately.
	By the time, it was bigger than any other military other than our own military.
	We literally have a standing army that is standing on us, standing on our throats.
	The boot in our face.
	That's the future that Orwell talked about.
	It was like the Trump raid, he said.
	He means the raid where they went to Mar-a-Lago.
	No, this is like the Trump raid, as Greg pointed out, where they take the guns and they do the due process later.
	They called me out onto my deck and they handcuffed me.
	My son was there and saw the whole thing.
	He's 13 years old.
	They held me on the porch for about an hour.
	I was surrounded by agents.
	One by one, they yelled at me about what I was doing.
	They can turn, being bad cops.
	Tough guys. In my mind, I decided that they were going to beat me up over every little thing I've done.
	As soon as I said, look, if you want my FFL, you can have it.
	As soon as he said that, one of the agents pulled out a piece of paper and said, well then, sign here.
	And this is straight out of Brazil.
	Terry Gilliam's take on, satirical take on 1984.
	This is crazy. Just crazy.
	That was so over the top when he did it in 1984, but now it's exactly where we are.
	Here's my receipt for your receipt and all the rest of the stuff.
	Well, then sign here.
	And he had three copies in case I screwed up.
	That's what they wanted. I'm going to browbeat him into signing away, intimidate him into signing away his license to deal firearms.
	It was exactly what they wanted, and I was shocked, he said.
	As soon as he relinquished his federal firearms license, the ATF began loading up his guns then, including a Colt Commander, five Glocks, and a Mint AK, a Polytech pre-band milled underfolder, which is worth thousands of dollars.
	They took more than 50 of my guns, he said, and I asked them why.
	They said they were quote-unquote evidence.
	I'd estimate that they took $50,000 to $60,000 worth of guns.
	Well, here's the problem. You know, again, we need to understand the times that we live in and the biggest mistake that people make.
	It's the same mistake they make, as I've said over and over again.
	We don't understand who these people are.
	We don't understand what they're capable of.
	And of course, we also don't understand the power of their technology either.
	Those are our big mistakes as people.
	We look at the world from our perspective.
	And just as I've said over and over again, you know, Ted Bundy, rapist, serial killer, very charming, very intelligent.
	You know, he would work his way in with these women.
	They couldn't imagine that he would be like that at all.
	And so because we can't imagine...
	What these terrorists are like, you know, we still think this is the picture of government that was presented to us when we were children.
	Well, we need to grow up.
	We need to understand these people don't mean well.
	We need to understand that when somebody calls you from the government, say, well, I don't have anything to say, Fifth Amendment, you want to continue this discussion, I'll hire a lawyer, or you can talk to my lawyer if you've already got one.
	People who haven't done anything wrong, Still have something to fear from this government.
	Just understand that.
	Same mistake that people make when they're dealing with child protective services, so-called.
	Well, I've got nothing to hide.
	There's nothing going on in our home.
	Well, they'll snoop around.
	They'll invent stuff.
	The FBI will plant evidence.
	The FBI will try to trip you up and get you on a contradictory statement, charge you with lying to them, which is a very serious crime.
	More serious in many cases than what they're questioning you about.
	So, they're not your friends.
	You have to understand. Just take a look.
	The Apostle Paul demanded that he be given due process by the Romans.
	Another time, he and friends of his, accomplices, the Roman government would say, lowered him over a wall and a basket to escape the authorities.
	We don't fear these people.
	We don't have to lie to them.
	But let's have a little bit of discernment about what's going on here.
	Let's understand who we're dealing with.
	As I said, we are not in Kansas anymore.
	And so, in this article, they say the SWAT team cleared his home, and then they called in the agent in charge of the raid, Special Agent Theodore Mongol.
	Yeah, he's been raided by the Mongols.
	M-O-N-G-E-L-L. Not Frankenstein.
	Frankenstein! Yeah, he's a mongrel.
	Anyway, told him that it was, quote, safe to come up.
	You're done. We have to shut you down.
	The country recalls him saying, you tell all your FFL buddies that we're coming for them.
	We're shutting the gun shows down.
	You see, if they can't pass the legislation, they've tried over and over again to pass legislation to shut down gun shows.
	And it's failed.
	And so they'll just do it through the regulatory state.
	They'll just do it through executive orders, through the deep state that's under the president.
	You know, the same ones that when Trump said, we're going to ban bump stocks.
	They said, okay, we can do that.
	We can do it by executive order, by the president.
	So he set that precedent.
	And this guy reminds me very much of this out-of-control BLM agent, Dan Love, who was in charge of the Bundy Ranch raid.
	And there was another BLM special agent in charge of the neighboring state, Arizona, who called out Dan Love and said there was absolutely no reason for him to do what he did.
	He escalated this into a very dangerous situation that could have gotten people killed on both sides.
	But these guys get on a power trip.
	They get high from this stuff.
	They love it. One agent told me they hate home FFLs.
	He said if I wanted to sell a Browning shotgun to somebody to gun show with no paperwork, that's no problem.
	But when I sell a Glock or an AR lower, that's a gang banger.
	Ask him where it said that in the regs.
	He said no gangbanger would be shooting people with a $2,000 Benelli.
	To me, that was one of the dumbest statements he could have made.
	So several agents accused him of making too much money through his gun show sales.
	He told them the last show that he attended, he only sold $75 worth of ammunition.
	But he spent $1,200 on hotels, tables, gas, and food.
	They said I was basically using my FFL to sell guns personally.
	They said I was going around the system.
	I was putting guns on the street that should not be on the street.
	So towards the end of the ordeal, he asked the raiding Mongol about his guns that they had seized.
	And he told me, well, if you're willing to forfeit them, we can make a lot of this stuff go away.
	Oh. Well, you know, we'll steal your guns, or if you want to fight us, we're going to make it really hard.
	Where have we heard this story before?
	We've heard this being done over and over and over again by cops who pull people over on the road, steal their money, steal their possessions, steal their car, and say, well, you know, just sign here and forfeit it, or we can make it really difficult for you.
	This kind of shakedown, this kind of corrupt training of our quote-unquote law enforcement officers, And it being highway robbers has been going on for a long time.
	And guess what? Conservatives have had no problem with that.
	They don't care. Yeah, it's the whole drug thing.
	I hate drugs. Let's have a drug war.
	It doesn't matter that prohibition has failed for 50 years.
	It doesn't matter that it's corrupted the cops.
	It's turned them into highway, literal highway robbers.
	As I point out, in San Bernardino County, you had the sheriff's department there, robbed an armored truck on three different occasions.
	The armored truck was carrying cash from a marijuana dispensary legally operating in California, protected by California law.
	But they said, well, marijuana has not been legalized by the federal government, so the federal government will work with us if we confiscate the cash.
	They'll give us the legal cover, and they'll give us most of the money.
	We can kick, like, you know, percentage back to them, but we get to keep most of the money.
	So they were literally pulling over an armored car and robbing them.
	We've turned the cops with this prohibition stuff, they've turned into criminals.
	And as I said many times, what do you think is going to happen when they prohibit firearms?
	Well, we've seen what happened with alcohol prohibition.
	We saw what happened with the drugs.
	Not only do you get the organized crime and the corruption of government to a greater extent even than it is now, but you get more intense forms of whatever it is that you are trying to regulate.
	People stopped drinking beer and wine and went to hard liquor.
	Why? Because the criminals who were doing it could make more money doing some things more concentrated.
	We look at the war on drugs and what have we got?
	They have created really, really strong versions of marijuana and other things.
	We wind up going to fentanyl and other stuff like that.
	There's always going to be some more potent drug down the road.
	And the same thing is going to happen with guns.
	Well, guns are going to become unbelievable in terms of the violence that's on our street.
	You may want to think about that, you know?
	When somebody does drugs and they overdose, unless they're operating a vehicle or something and drive into your car, it doesn't have that much effect.
	But you wait until gun prohibition creates unbelievably lethal weapons that then go into the hands of guess who?
	The organized criminals.
	What do you think the streets of Chicago or the streets of your small town are going to look like when that happens?
	And then it'll be more rationale to ban more guns, right?
	Because that's the same thing they've done with a war on drugs for 50 years.
	And so because conservatives have turned a blind eye to our government operating as thieves for decades with civil asset forfeiture, and again, that goes back for 30 years.
	And a little bit more than that, actually.
	I'll never forget when Megyn Kelly came to set up Alex Jones, and she wanted to interview all of us who had shows and stuff.
	And so I talked to her.
	They didn't use anything for my interview.
	But we're talking, and I mentioned civil asset forfeiture.
	And she had no idea what that was.
	No idea. Deer in the headlight.
	It's been going on for decades, Megan.
	You're a reporter? They pay you $20 million?
	What do you do? Oh, you read what they write for you on TV. So, yeah, these civil asset forfeiture abuses, they don't care because they're like drugs, and so we let that happen.
	There was a documentary somebody did about a decade ago, and it was Guns and Drugs, The Path to Freedom.
	Because the left has used the marijuana issue to nullify federal prohibitions.
	Very effective. We need to do the same thing with guns.
	Furthermore, we need to stop letting people like Trump and Biden divide us, and we need to start fighting for our freedom.
	So the left and the right need to come together and say, we're going to fight for our freedom, and you're not going to prohibit guns, and you're not going to prohibit drugs.
	And the left can say, I hate guns, and the right can say, I hate drugs, but you're not going to prohibit them.
	Because A, you don't have the authority.
	You had to have a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol, and you brought another one back.
	You had the 18th Amendment, 21st Amendment to prohibit it and to bring it back.
	So you obviously don't have the authority to prohibit anything, any drugs, any guns.
	As a matter of fact, when it comes to guns, you were specifically prohibited from even infringing on our God-given rights to keep and bear them.
	That's even clearer.
	But everybody in the country understood there was no authority to prohibit alcohol.
	Everybody did. And so they went through this whole process of creating a constitutional amendment.
	We don't have to have the opinion of some Supreme Court justices who are constantly changing their opinion.
	Everybody in the country, everybody, Whether they were for alcohol prohibition or against it, they all understood that they needed to have a constitutional amendment.
	Every state legislature, every person, and all the courts understood that was necessary.
	And now we pretend it's not.
	Now we pretend that we can do this under the Commerce Clause.
	Well, guess what? The Commerce Clause is always there.
	Commerce Clause was always there.
	Commerce Clause was there before we amended the Constitution with the Bill of Rights, even.
	Maybe that's one of the reasons why Madison insisted on the Bill of Rights, just to make sure they understood that arguments about the general welfare, arguments about the Commerce Clause, or any of these other specious prevarications were going to be covered by the blanket prohibition of federal usurpation and concentration by the Tenth Amendment, and also the Ninth Amendment, essentially.
	Anyway, Second Amendment Foundation's investigative journalism project contacted Special Agent Theodore Mongol on his cell phone and asked him why he raided Fitcher's home and seized his guns, and of course he's not going to say anything.
	You know, the other thing, too, about conservatives, not only have they not cared or remained ignorant, but, you know, if you tell them, they don't really care, right?
	Oh, yeah. Well, that has to do with drugs.
	Well, in a lot of cases, it doesn't have anything to do with drugs.
	They use it as an excuse to confiscate property from people who don't have drugs.
	If the people had drugs, if the people were doing something with drugs, they would be charged.
	They don't charge them. They take the stuff, and they don't ever do the due process.
	They never even charge them. They just confiscate their home, or their car, or their cash, or whatever.
	And, of course, the conservatives, I've also excused Trump's contempt for the Second Amendment when he did gun control by executive order.
	No other president had done it.
	Not even Obama did that.
	And then when he shows contempt for due process with the red flag stuff, they excuse it because it's Trump.
	After cuffing and berating him for more than an hour, the agents never even told Fitcher if or when he would be charged with a crime.
	This is civil asset forfeiture.
	He fears he would lose his teaching job if charged with a felony.
	So he's going along with him. That's where he makes his money.
	He's a pastor, but it's a town that's only got 150 people in it.
	And so he makes his money as a teacher.
	And if they can find anything to get him out, I'm sure they would do it.
	He said, they have my life in the palm of their hands.
	And they have very little accountability.
	I'm just trying to make a living, and it takes three jobs just to make ends meet.
	He's working as a teacher, working as a pastor, selling firearms, trying to make ends meet.
	Well, they just took one of those away.
	And if he makes an issue out of it, he'll lose the other one, which is probably the biggest one, his teaching gig.
	Dealing as little as I have with the ATF, when you ask them a specific question, they'll tell you it's a gray area.
	Well, a gray area can send you to jail.
	I'm not Hunter Biden.
	I'm not going to get any weapon charges dropped.
	We all know there's a different standard.
	In Seattle, Jason Rance, who has a radio show there in Seattle, had an interview with a police officer who just resigned.
	And she was fed up with what was happening there.
	And so she called in because, you know, they have like an exit form where you sign and talk about some things.
	And essentially she said in this exit form, she wrote on there and he's got a copy of it.
	It's kind of down at the bottom, Travis.
	What is your reason for leaving?
	And he put in a picture of what she wrote.
	She said, you will not be steering the exit interview with this questionnaire.
	I will. There are 15 typewritten pages.
	All initialed. Attached to this exit interview.
	It is for public discourse and for transparency.
	And then another one.
	For all personnel.
	Who is your new employer?
	And she writes in all capital letters and underscores it twice.
	None of this is your business.
	Yeah. And so, you know, she's talking about the situation, the corruption, the political corruption, what it's done to the police.
	And, of course, we have all seen the effects of this, the defunding of the police and the radical agenda of these politicians who don't care as the city spirals down.
	They don't care the results of what they're doing.
	She worked for them for 23 years.
	And she made sure she didn't leave quietly, providing a rare, in-depth look into how the officers view the city and the local lawmakers.
	She said, And your failed leadership have accelerated the city's downhill slide straight to rock bottom.
	The problems are already brewing before you came on the scene.
	But since your arrival, it's been a free fall into anarchy and chaos.
	She called out specific Seattle City Council members and others, said their absurd policies have turned Seattle into a playground for anarchists and criminals, and they seem utterly unconcerned with the devastating consequences of their actions.
	Well, that could describe officials at so many different levels and so many different places.
	From cities like Seattle to states like Washington and Oregon to the federal government.
	That's why I say over and over again, the most important election on the ballot is your local election.
	Washington, D.C. is gone.
	How are you going to stop the ATF? You have to stop the ATF by having a good local sheriff.
	So you better get involved in an election and make sure that there's one running and that you support them.
	Seriously. Trump isn't going to do anything for you.
	Of course, Biden is going to attack you.
	There'll be attacks under Trump as well.
	You're going to stop it, just as you did in 2020, or make it worse by the people who are there locally.
	When we come back, we're going to take a look at the FAA. Stepping over the line as usual.
	It's just amazing what has happened in this country.
	And of course, they're leading the way in what has happened with airline travel.
	We'll be right back. The Common Man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

	So if you can't find it somewhere, go to the David Knight show.
	We've got the link to about 10 big ones there.
	Welcome to my show!
	YouTube won't allow us either, but we do put up content on video channels, Rumble, Odyssey, BitChute, others like that.
	And as I pointed out earlier, have you started breaking the show down on Bitchute yet, Travis?
	What is it?
	Most likely a problem with Bitchute's resubscription on Subscribestar.
	They've been having issues with it.
	Okay.
	I don't think the people can hear you either.
	We had a problem with BitChute in the sense that they changed the file sizes that were there, and we could not get a three-hour show.
	Most people don't do a three-hour show.
	We couldn't get it down to where it would fit without compromising the quality so seriously that we're probably going to break it into sections there.
	But anyway, if you want to go to thedavidknightshow.com, tell you how you can support the show, how you can find the show.
	I had a conversation yesterday with a guy who contacted me and wanted to do some advertising, not within the show, but as a separate...
	Separate thing that would go up on our channels.
	And as we were talking, he realized that he knew me from Infowars.
	He heard me at Infowars.
	He didn't know I was still doing any of this stuff.
	That's why it's really important if you can't support us.
	I understand people are going through financial issues now.
	If you can't support us, please like the show.
	Please pass it around.
	Please leave good reviews.
	That type of thing does help a little bit and not the only way that we can get through this blockade of social media and Google.
	Google has basically depersoned me.
	Let's talk a little bit about what is happening with the FAA. They've sent 22 unruly passenger cases to the FBI for possible prosecution.
	You know, they've got nothing to do.
	There's nothing going on in the White House or, you know, with Hunter or anything.
	So they're looking for some work to do.
	So, yeah. And so, you know, how have we gotten to this point?
	I remember when it, what was it?
	Eastern Airlines, I think, used to have this slogan.
	The Eastern Airlines is gone now.
	They had a slogan, fly the friendly skies.
	Well, the friendly skies are gone, regardless of whether it was Eastern Airlines or some other now defunct airline industry.
	They've gotten very hostile.
	Hostile on both sides.
	You have the TSA pushing and prodding people.
	Harassing people needlessly, like I said, our friends who flew to my daughter's wedding in Texas from North Carolina.
	So they got in there and the lines to go through the TSA were from one end of the airport and back and snaking around on the other end and then coming back.
	And I was like, oh no, we're going to miss our plane.
	TSA said, we've got so many people here today, we're going to just turn off all of the scanning.
	Just come on through. You know, really busy day, so let's just let everybody come in.
	Which they've done, you know, on Thanksgiving Day when people were going to boycott their body scanners and their pat-downs.
	Oh, forget it. Just go on through.
	We won't even harass you today.
	How about that? We don't harass you.
	You don't make any noise about this kind of stuff.
	It's just theater. Just theater.
	And as they were talking about that, we had a relative at the wedding and said, well, yeah, maybe it's just theater, but it makes me feel safer.
	I guess there are people who said that in Stalinist Russia, Stasi East Germany.
	It makes them feel safer.
	Nazi Germany, whatever.
	I just love seeing these guys marching down the streets with their uniforms and their arms out.
	It makes me feel safe.
	Keep law and order.
	Trains running on time.
	Just don't ask where the trains are headed.
	So, you know, they push, they prod, they harass people.
	And then you get on a plane and these flight attendants are on their little power trip and they're pushing and they're prodding and they're harassing people.
	And so people got very upset about this.
	And they had a big explosion of these types of cases while they were doing the mask stuff.
	And they even admitted on this mainstream news article.
	They said, well, first of all, what is happening with these 22 unruly passengers...
	These are not people who tried to hijack a plane or anything.
	They just talked back. The total number of cases referred this year is 39.
	These 22 are just what they've done recently.
	But so far, we're only halfway through the year.
	They referred 39 people for criminal behavior.
	Unruly behavior poses serious safety concerns, they said.
	No, not they, but it was Pete Buttigieg.
	Pete Buttigieg.
	This is an opportunity for many to flex my Marxist muscles, he said.
	No. So they said instances of passengers acting out on commercial aircraft.
	have dropped 80% since hitting record highs in early 2021.
	Why? Because of the masks, and they even admit that in this.
	That year, the FAA received nearly 6,000 reports of unruly passengers, but by 2022, that number dropped to fewer than 2,500.
	Officials reported a sharp drop in onboard conflicts after the federal mask mandate, often a source of tension, was rescinded in April of 2022.
	See, this is not rocket science as to why people are acting like this.
	Again, you push, you prod, you harass people.
	After a while, some people are going to push back.
	This is not rocket science.
	This is behavioral science.
	And so, they talk about the fines that people are getting.
	In 2022, the agency announced that it would seek a fine of $81,950.
	Where'd they come up with that number?
	But it is ridiculously absurd in terms of how high it is.
	From a passenger on board a July 7, 2021 American Airlines flight from Dallas to Charlotte, the agency alleged, didn't prove anything, right?
	You're guilty. You don't have a presumption of innocence, but you just get the fine.
	They alleged that a passenger threatened a flight attendant who was trying to help her after she fell into the aisle.
	Okay, well, there you go.
	She then tried to open the cabin door and had to be restrained by two other flight attendants.
	So, this person's having an issue.
	I don't know. Did she hurt them or anything?
	$82,000, essentially.
	Yeah, another $50 to it.
	You get an even number. Why did they, you know, like, you know, special discount price or something would take $50 off so we don't show $82,000.
	This is an excessive fine.
	Isn't that protected by the Fourth Amendment?
	No. We're going to take the guns and do the due process later.
	We're going to hit you with a fine, and you can try to get this back later, but you'll have to sue us in order to get that money back.
	And when you sue us, you'll have to prove that you're innocent, because this is a rule, not a law.
	See, this is the lie that they operate under.
	This kind of prevarication. Well, if it's a rule, then it's a civil fine.
	And that's what they call it. Civil penalties.
	Individuals can face civil penalties up to $37,000 per violation.
	So I guess they hit her with multiple violations.
	Civil penalties. It's just like the civil asset forfeiture.
	If it was a law passed by our elected representatives, then they would have to follow the Constitution.
	They say...
	But then they pretend that rules that are passed by unelected bureaucrats don't have to follow the Constitution.
	So there's no presumption of innocence.
	There's no due process.
	There's no protection against excessive fines.
	It's bad enough that we have regulation without representation.
	But then they get rid of all of the Bill of Rights and all of that as well.
	It's bad enough. That they're operating outside the law.
	But when they operate outside the law, they say, well, this is civil.
	There's nothing civil about it, frankly.
	So this is where we are with the TSA. And as that is happening, there is an op-ed piece that was put out by the Washington Post.
	The woman's name is Ruth Marcus.
	And she is just livid.
	She doesn't think that the airlines are authoritarian enough.
	She wants them to do more.
	And she's very upset about a particular case where you had an employee of the airlines who, in terms of a religious liberty issue, and this is not about the forced injections.
	This goes back several years.
	It goes back to 2017.
	And so, in this particular instance...
	Charlene Carter, flight attendant, for more than 20 years, in 2017, after union members attended the Women's March under a, quote, Southwest Airlines flight attendants banner, unquote, she sent Facebook messages to the union president, and she sent Facebook messages that contained graphic anti-abortion messages.
	So she said, what you're doing and what you supported during your paid leave with others at the Women's March in D.C., you're truly despicable in so many different ways.
	She sent messages with pictures of aborted babies.
	One of them had a video of an abortion.
	And Southwest was upset about this.
	Yeah, it is very upsetting if you see what happens to these babies.
	Even these pro-abortionists get upset about it.
	Because it's very easy for them to say, well, it's not a baby, it's a fetus, and this and that.
	They can imagine what this is, but you confront them with the reality of abortion.
	And they...
	This is horrific, they said.
	It is horrific. If the video is horrific, what about the actual act?
	She gets punished for showing them a video of the actual act that they approve of.
	Why? Do you understand that?
	That's not something, of course, that is addressed by this Washington Post reporter.
	You know, the idea that somebody should be horrified and it would be so offensive that they would fire her But it's a video of what they were there in Washington to support in the name of the Southwest employees.
	She was one of them.
	She had a right to do that.
	But Southwest said, you have crossed the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
	The video crosses the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
	But the actual act that the video is of, that's acceptable behavior.
	As a matter of fact, that is something that we should honor and support.
	And that's why we're in Washington to do that.
	They said this is inappropriate, it is harassing, and it is offensive.
	And so they fired her.
	And she sued them.
	Federal job bias law bars employers from discriminating on the basis of religion, said the Washington Post reporter.
	He really hates that.
	Carter claimed that she was dismissed because of her sincerely held religious beliefs against abortion.
	A jury found in her favor.
	And the Washington Post reporter says, and whoppingly so, it awarded her $5.1 million.
	Though U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr reduced the amount to $800,000 and the case is being appealed.
	Now the comments from this Washington Post reporter, Ruth Marcus, has a problem with this.
	She said, we've got another extremist Trump judge, the star guy.
	Actually, he's a nephew of Ken Starr.
	You know, it's these Trump judges.
	Well, I wish the Trump judges were like this guy.
	Unfortunately, you know, we had a newly minted, newly appointed Trump judge here in Tennessee that blocked a Tennessee law.
	That would stop the mutilation of minors for the most absurd reasons.
	And he was immediately overturned by the appellate court.
	But yeah, it's a mixed bag.
	You never know what you're going to get.
	You know what you're going to get when Democrats appoint judges.
	You better believe it. But when the Republicans do it, it's a mixed bag.
	She said, and this person is from Texas.
	No surprise about that.
	Straight out of the handmaid's tale.
	Is Ruth Marcus, is she a stereotype?
	She's trying to say, yeah, this guy's a stereotype.
	She just showed what a stereotype she is.
	The judge held lawyers for Southwest Airlines further in addition to them losing the case.
	They were held in contempt of court for their actions.
	And the judge ordered them to undergo religious liberty training.
	That really sent Ruth Marcus over the top.
	And that's what this whole article is about.
	The fact that these people not only lose, that's bad enough.
	You ought to be able to fire people who show what abortion is.
	You know, we don't want to have that happening.
	I mean, look at how many times students have been throttled and disciplined and ejected and expelled because they put up a display of an aborted baby or they show videos of it or something.
	They cannot show that. And not just any instruction, said the judge, but told them that the training had to be conducted by the Alliance Defending Freedom.
	A conservative group that litigates against same-sex marriage, transgender rights, and abortion rights.
	Oh, that really bothered her.
	Really bothered Ruth. She said, that's the scary part.
	She said, the judge, Starr, instructed the airline to, quote, inform Southwest flight attendants that under Title VII, Southwest may not discriminate against Southwest flight attendants for their religious practices and beliefs, but instead...
	They put out a message and said that we have been ordered to inform you that Southwest does not discriminate against our employees for their religious practices and beliefs.
	And that made Starr angry.
	Ticked off by what he viewed as insubordination, Starr, in an opinion, released this week, held Southwest in civil contempt of court, quote, The one where words mean something, he said.
	Southwest's notice didn't come close to complying with the court's order.
	Now, she's very upset about this, and about the judge who, you know, these judges have the authority to, if they're offended about something that you did, they can do all kinds of stuff, right?
	So think about this, and keep this in mind, and I'll remind you about this.
	When we get further down the road with these Trump shows, all the showy indictments and all the political persecution stuff, he is doing everything he can, especially over the weekend.
	And again, I think maybe it's tomorrow that the judge is going to rule on this gag order and a protection order and stuff like that over Trump.
	But he doubled down on his mouthing off on social media.
	Because he wants to be hammered this way.
	He wants to be a martyr.
	People are starting to lose interest in this.
	More than one article I've seen about this.
	They're asking people, what do you think about this?
	A lot of people think, I'm really tired of this whole show.
	I'm sick of his reality TV show.
	I'm not really paying any attention to it.
	Well, he's got to do something to juice it up.
	And so if he can juice it up and he can get this kind of reaction from his judge, the Southwest got from their judge.
	And judges do this kind of stuff all the time.
	Trump knows it. He's going to push this stuff.
	Anyway, Southwest's speech and actions toward employees demonstrate a chronic failure to understand the role of federal protections for religious freedom, said Starr, the judge.
	He proceeded to order three Southwest lawyers to undergo eight hours of religious liberty training, a move that he described as the least restrictive means of achieving compliance.
	Luckily, Starr observed there are esteemed nonprofit organizations dedicated to preserving free speech and religious freedom.
	He added a footnote.
	Referring to the ADF, the Alliance Defending Freedoms, litigation of the masterpiece Cake Shop versus Colorado.
	He said some of these entities laudably provide training free of charge.
	So, you know, you may want to go to the ADF to get your stuff, your training that I'm requiring you to take.
	And so this Washington Post woman, Ruth Marcus, is apoplectic about this.
	She says, adjectives fail me here.
	I don't even know what to say.
	And so then, to try to explain how bad the ADF is.
	She explains the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled them a hate group.
	The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group, lady.
	They are a hateful, lying, disinformation, misinformation, malinformation group.
	That's how they make money.
	They're also grifters, and the left has called them that.
	They said, look at that. They got hundreds of millions.
	There was like $300 million several years ago.
	They've got offshore accounts.
	Leftist organizations have said, you know, of all the charities that you can support, Southern Poverty Law Center is one of the worst ones.
	Even though you may think that you agree with what they're doing, they don't...
	When you make a contribution to them, and that's the way they evaluate charities, you know, what percentage of the money that you give to these charities actually goes to the work that they want to do?
	They said it's a very, very small percentage.
	It was only like half or something like that.
	It was ridiculous. And so even the left...
	The informed left hates the Southern Poverty Law Center, even if they agree with their politics.
	But she says the SPLC has argued that allowing, I'm sorry, not the SPLC, but this group that she hates that the Southern Poverty Law Center hates.
	She says they've argued that allowing, quote, practicing homosexuals, unquote, to serve in the military or to adopt children constitutes a tax on family values, quote, unquote.
	And they said that it will, quote, ultimately destroy our society, unquote.
	The ADF's former president co-wrote a book, The Homosexual Agenda, exposing the principal threat to religious freedom today, unquote, in which he linked homosexuality and pedophilia.
	Yeah, those would never be linked, you know.
	Hey, just go look at one of the so-called drag queen story hours.
	They're actually dragon story hours, is what they really are.
	He said, despite ever-present denials by homosexual activists, the link to child sex and homosexual behavior is alarming.
	Redefining marriage is ultimately part of the larger effort to redesign society in order to give social approval of homosexual behavior and to empower social acceptance of a forgery of gender and sexual practice at odds with natural law and the faith of millions.
	She put all this stuff in there.
	I mean, to her, that's an indictment.
	This guy's absolutely right.
	I'd like to see Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post write a story about my program.
	Adjectives fail me!
	Yeah, Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't like me either.
	Come on, Ruth, do a story about me.
	Let's bring it on. I really would like to see what you have to say about this program.
	And so, anyway, looks like this guy, even though he's a nephew, Ken Starr, looks like he's on a better path than Ken Starr, who defended, instead of prosecuting, Bill Clinton.
	Again, as I've said many times, all these credible allegations of violent sexual assault and rape.
	Ignored all that. Went for a consensual relationship and ignored all the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden-like Financial crimes that were there.
	He went on to defend Jeffrey Epstein.
	He went on to defend the Baylor football team.
	They were accused of, I think it was rape, but it was some kind of violent sexual thing.
	And that got him fired, Ken Starr.
	But of course, that didn't keep him off of Fox News.
	He was on Fox News all the time.
	So we have artificial intelligence replacing psychics, they say.
	I've got something to say about that.
	We'll say it when we come back. We're
	good to go. Making
	sense. Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And thank you on Rockfin to Doug Elkins.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, thank you, David and family.
	Some more trickle-down Dougie-nomics.
	And on Rockfin, Mr.
	Goldfold says, the Two Stockton 7-Eleven Gurkhas, we talked about yesterday, the Sikhs, will not be charged.
	Good. Yeah, that's good.
	It says, funny, you misidentified their justice stick as a 2x4.
	Had they used a Jim Duggan-style 2x4, I don't know what that is, that black chap would have been left crippled.
	Dave, there was a time that we shot looters on site.
	When did that approach change?
	The 80s? Armed rooftop Koreans in the 92 LA riots were heroes.
	That's right. Yeah, I don't know...
	I guess today, you know, they would all be prosecuted.
	And of course, they did come after, or at least tried to come after some of them who were doing that in the Ferguson riots.
	Those were Oath Keepers that went out there and helped.
	Yeah. So I guess, yeah, they put them in jail.
	Let's talk about AI replacing psychics as fortune-telling droids.
	Putting tarot readers out of work.
	This is kind of interesting in a number of different ways.
	We've seen the artificial intelligence stuff hallucinating quite a bit.
	It may already be taking psycho drugs to hallucinate.
	It may already be under the influence of demons.
	Who knows with this stuff. As a matter of fact, it said experts claim that bot fortune tellers are better than real ones because they can draw on wisdom from a vast database and are unaffected By human motions and preconceptions.
	Well, you know, demons can do the same thing for some of these so-called psychics.
	They can draw on wisdom from a vast experience and manipulate us in many different ways, sometimes maybe through the mouths of these types of people.
	Experts claim they're better because they're unaffected by human emotions or preconceptions.
	You know, it's interesting, Arthur Conan Doyle, Who wrote Sherlock Holmes stuff.
	Very logical person.
	Deductive reasoning and everything.
	You know, Sherlock Holmes character.
	He was taken in by this kind of stuff.
	He was taken in by this kind of mysticism and the occult.
	Because if you don't believe in God, you'll believe in anything, quite frankly.
	We had kind of an experience once tangentially with someone like this.
	We were not seeking it. It was somebody when we had our other business that sold us a bunch.
	It was a marketing person. Sold us a bunch of pens, you know, and Karen's placing the order.
	And she says, well, I'm a psychic and I can tell that, you know, there's something about you and, you know, you're trying to have kids or something.
	She said, yeah, that's true. She said, well, I'm telling you that your son's going to be born on a Tuesday.
	This is years before we had our kids.
	And Karen said, stay away from these people.
	And we did.
	Didn't pay attention and just broke off this relationship with her right away.
	And then when Travis was born, I said, see?
	Not born on a Tuesday.
	Yeah. And then Karen was pregnant and it was going very long term and so they had scheduled this for her to be induced.
	And so they had scheduled her to be induced on a particular day and then Um, you know, the delivery came before the inducement was supposed to happen and, um, still look like, you know, she was going to give birth on a different day on a Monday.
	And, uh, but then it would turn into a very long delivery and the baby was induced Tuesday.
	Now, was that a coincidence or did she know something about it?
	And again, you know, you don't play with the occult.
	Even with stuff like that. It's a lure into that.
	I think the occult is real.
	Just like I think the UFO stuff is demonic manifestations.
	There can be demonic manifestations in a lot of different ways.
	And you just walk away from it.
	But you don't need to have a fortune teller or artificial intelligence to tell you not to post all kinds of threatening stuff This is a Utah man who was shot dead on his doorstep by the Secret Service after he posted a bunch of stuff threatening to shoot Joe Biden.
	And if you look at the stuff that he put up on social media, it was beyond stupid.
	I still don't understand why People have not gotten the memo that when you put stuff up on social media, the government is looking at it all the time.
	And in many cases, your employers are looking at it.
	Or somebody's going to look at it who's going to snitch on you to the government or to your employer or whatever.
	But he was putting stuff up, you know, I'm going to get out my ghillie suit, my sniper rifle.
	This guy's in his mid-70s.
	You know, and Potbelly and all the rest of this stuff.
	And he's taking pictures of himself like he's Rambo or something with his guns.
	And showing pictures of all of his guns that are lined up.
	And then taunting law enforcement to do something about it.
	Yeah, they did something about it.
	They showed up and they shot him dead.
	I mean, again, you know, what did he think was going to happen with this?
	And finally we have the Supreme Court.
	It's going to be looking at something that the Hill says could imperil the entire tax code of the United States.
	I thought, well, that sounds interesting.
	Let's look at this.
	Let's hope that this does happen.
	Because when you look at what is happening with the IRS, as I pointed out a couple days ago, it's not just the 80,000 new IRS agents.
	It's not just the fact that the Democrats wanted to grow the IRS budget, make it 700% greater, right?
	Seven times greater. The Republicans said, no, we're only going to make it five times bigger than it is today.
	And then they are going to push us into a paperless interaction with them.
	And guess what? It'll probably involve some kind of biometric ID. That's my opinion.
	They'll say, well, you know, you're dealing with the IRS, and we're talking about a lot of money here, so you're going to have to give us some kind of a facial scan or some kind of a biometric thing.
	The only thing stopping this, they've already tried to do this last year.
	The only thing stopping them was having the technology available to make them do this.
	So as soon as they get the technology available, they will do that.
	So just understand that they're going to be using artificial intelligence not to tell your fortune, but to take your fortune.
	This is all about the, you will own nothing, and we will get it all.
	That's what these 80,000 IRS agents are for.
	And what the $80 billion that they wanted to increase their budget with, that the Democrats wanted to give them, the Republicans said, oh, that's crazy.
	We'll give them $60 billion. When they've got a budget right now that's something like, I forget what it was, $13 or something like that.
	Oh, no, we'll give them another $60 billion.
	The Supreme Court has agreed to hear one of the most important tax cases in history, which could either greenlight the constitutionality of an economically disastrous wealth tax, or it could destroy critical parts of the U.S. tax system.
	Let's hope that it does the latter part of this.
	Because a wealth tax is a very insidious thing.
	And the wealth tax, and this is, you know, in a sense when you look at an estate tax system, That's like a wealth tax.
	Somebody has a small farm or a business, even if they weren't making a really big income out of it.
	When the person dies, the government can come in and evaluate that and say, well, for this to transfer, you've got to pay X amount of taxes.
	And since it wasn't something that was making a lot of money, it requires the heirs to liquidate everything, sometimes at a distress sale.
	So they can't do it at a time that is to their advantage or in a time frame.
	That's to their advantage. They just have to liquidate it.
	That's one of the reasons why we oppose the death tax.
	It's one of the reasons why the Democrats love it.
	Unless the justices take a middle road and define the 16th Amendment according to history and traditions of the U.S. tax system, the case will result in bad law and even worse outcomes.
	The case concerns the constitutionality of Trump's 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
	That act imposed a mandatory repatriation tax on pre-2018 profits that companies and some U.S. shareholders stored abroad.
	Previously, foreign business profits went untaxed until they returned to U.S. shareholders.
	But under the mandatory repatriation tax of Trump, they were taxed even if the shareholders had never received the income, and that's the issue.
	And you've got several Democrat states that are trying to do this in terms of wealth taxes.
	We're going to, you know, coming after all kinds of assets, especially crypto, you know, to force you to liquidate them and to just confiscate it.
	And as I point out, a very long article here, I won't go into all the details of it, but, you know, is it income if you haven't actually received it?
	If it hasn't actually come into you, Is it income?
	Of course it isn't.
	And they talk about Black's Law Dictionary from 1910, claims that income must be received in order to be defined as such, and that any income that has not been received cannot be taxed.
	So will they overthrow that?
	Who knows? They could do anything.
	When the income tax was passed, It was a tax on income, as distinguished from wages.
	So, a lot of people have issues with the way the income tax was passed.
	I do. I'm one of them.
	But, you know, I'm not going to...
	That's not going to be the hill I'm going to die on.
	But I'll tell you that I don't...
	Don't believe that. And like so many things that the government does, that they don't have any legal authority, but they have the power to do it.
	But, you know, it was strictly for income.
	And it was a very high level of income.
	So it really only affected the 1% of the 1%.
	And the tax was very small.
	It was only 1%.
	And look at where we are right now.
	By the time they got to World War II, they said, well, we've got to have money to fight the war, so we're going to institute a temporary wage tax.
	And that's one of the reasons why, when you would get these letters for years and years, I'd look at it and they'd say, well, thank you for participating in this voluntary tax program.
	Like, what? It's kind of like the guy who, you know, is handcuffed and being yelled at by a dozen SWAT officers in armor.
	You know, with their billy clubs and everything.
	Well, you're going to, you know, get rid of that federal firearms license and make these things go away.
	You know, give us your guns and sign this piece of paper and we'll go away.
	Otherwise, you know, and that's basically what they did.
	They pushed that on and say, well, you know, we don't have the legal authority to continue taxing wages, but we're going to call it a voluntary tax.
	And if you don't volunteer, we got some things.
	It's the same type of coercion game that they ran with the vaccines, remember?
	Now they're all out there saying, I didn't mandate, I didn't force anybody to get the vaccine.
	We just coerced you. We just said, hey, it's your choice.
	You know, you can stay locked up and locked in and go nowhere, do anything, have no job, etc., etc.
	Or you can sign the piece of paper.
	It'll make all this stuff go away.
	Yeah, coercion is the same as a mandate.
	Just like these rules are the same as law.
	They play those types of prevarications all the time.
	And so, you know, another part of the prevarication is called wages income.
	And now they're going to call income things that you haven't even received.
	We'll be right back. Analyzing
	The Globalist Next Move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	you you You know when the tyrants get away with things, when they get away with locking us down, when they get away with masking us up and coercing us and taking vaccines and all the rest of the stuff, they only get worse if you don't stop them.
	Another example of this is what is happening in the UK with their abortion clinics.
	We've seen a woman who was, they've got all these prohibitions, you can't talk to anybody, you can't have any signs, you can't do this, you can't do that.
	You cannot stand there silently with your head bowed.
	Oh, you can't pray silently.
	We've seen one woman arrested because of that.
	Well, here's a second person. This is a UK Army veteran, and he was arrested and charged, again, for praying silently.
	But now they're taking this to the next step.
	Not only did they fine him at that time, but now they're coming after him for criminal charges.
	An Army veteran pleaded not guilty Wednesday after being charged for praying silently near an abortion clinic in Bournemouth, England, a violation of the UK's so-called buffer zone laws.
	Listen to what he has to say and how he says it.
	So, Lord Jesus, please speak through me clearly today.
	Fill me with your holy wisdom of truth and love.
	In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
	Amen. I want to thank everyone who's come here today to support and thank you for your prayers in the court today.
	That was really, really important.
	We are standing in the nation of the Magna Carta, the nation which has championed democracy and freedom.
	We have a history of upholding human rights that we can be proud of and a respect for freedom that I fought to uphold when I served this country for 20 years as an army reservist and Afghanistan veteran.
	Yet here I stand before you on the steps of Paul Magistrates Court being prosecuted for a thought crime.
	The facts of my case are clear.
	I am accused of breaching an abortion clinic buffer zone for praying for my son Jacob and other victims of abortion, for their families and the abortion clinic staff on Ophir Road in Bournemouth.
	I did not approach anyone.
	I did not speak to anyone.
	I did not breach anybody's privacy.
	I simply stood silently.
	I am being tried for the prayerful thoughts I held in my head.
	Let me state clearly that I absolutely condemn the harassment or intimidation of anyone, anywhere, especially vulnerable pregnant girls and women on what is likely to be one of the worst days of their lives outside of an abortion facility.
	I've been praying and offering charitable support to families outside of abortion clinics since 2019, and if I ever saw a woman or family being harassed, I would be the first to intervene and call the authorities.
	Buffer zones which have been introduced through PSPOs and are soon to be rolled out across the UK are wildly disproportionate, banning not only harassment but prayer and charitable help and support to people that may wish to receive it.
	And now I'm being prosecuted for my silent prayer.
	For the sake of our nation's freedom, I shall be fighting this prosecution with the help of ADF, and Jeremiah here is a wonderful man, and I will take it as far as we can to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary.
	I want to thank my wife My wife, my two kids, Born kids.
	Jacob, my son, lost to abortion.
	And Bobby, who we lost to this carriage.
	I'm sorry. I dedicate this to their memory.
	Thank you.
	God bless you.
	I simply stood silently, he said.
	And I'm being tried for the prayerful thoughts I held in my head.
	I have the video that he took Of the officers coming up to him, one of them, a lesbian, interrogating him as to what he's praying about.
	I play it because the audio is not that good.
	They had fined him 100 pounds, which is about $123.
	But now, months later, after this financial penalty, they have now filed criminal charges.
	Which surprises many people.
	You see, if you don't stop tyranny, it gets worse.
	It's a cancer. It has to be stopped.
	It has to be resisted. So, he said, again, people coming up, what is the nature of your prayer?
	Said the woman officer.
	And he said he was praying for his deceased son, who had died years ago in an abortion.
	So the UK has nationalized abortion buffer zone rules under which no one is allowed to protest.
	450 meters is about 490 feet from any direction of the clinic.
	And it criminalizes influencing outside of abortion facilities.
	Which includes prayer, peaceful conversations, or offers to help women with services available to those who would like to have an alternative to abortion.
	You know, when I look at this, and who would have thought that they would come in and do something like this?
	I'm reminded of the Psalms, why do the nations rage against God?
	Right? And imagine a vain thing, an empty thing.
	Why do they imagine it?
	Why do they plot it, some translations will say.
	Kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel against the Lord and His anointed.
	His Messiah is actually the Hebrew word there.
	Let us break their bonds, cast their cords from us, And then the Bible says, and he who sits in heaven laughs at that.
	See, we don't fear these types of people.
	Again, we confront them.
	We tell them the truth.
	We show them the truth about the abortion.
	Now, that got that lady fired, didn't it?
	How? How offensive to show me a picture of what I am celebrating.
	It is a religious, you know, when they talk about a right to abortion, they spell it R-I-T-E. It is a kind of religious right for them.
	They imagine this.
	And that's not what it is at all.
	So we don't fear these people.
	But let me tell you, there is something that we should fear.
	We should fear something.
	This is the thing that scares me the most.
	Well, hi Bo Peep!
	Hey Woody! Good to see you!
	Good to see you! Are you at church?
	Yes, we are. Welcome to Saddleback, everybody.
	Yeah, that's what scares me, right?
	We have mighty weapons.
	Why are they afraid of silent prayer?
	Seriously, they're afraid of it.
	Because our weapons are mighty.
	But Saddleback Church and the churches that do stuff like that, that is what's wrong with our society.
	It starts with that.
	It starts with that kind of nonsense that you see.
	The kind of infantile entertainment church that they represent.
	And of course, that Saddleback Church, that's Rick Warren's church.
	You know, just a couple of months ago, he was saying he was not a member of the Southern Baptist, but he went there to make a big deal because he's got a very big church and he's a very well-known author.
	And so he went there to make a big deal about the fact that he had appointed, as he left, as he retired, from this gigantic church in California, he had appointed those two people again.
	Those two people as co-pastors, a husband and wife team as co-pastors.
	And he thinks that they are, he says, we need to focus on the first century church.
	That's what he was telling the Southern Baptists.
	Do you think that's what the First Century Church did?
	Wow. Wow.
	As a matter of fact, when we were in Texas, there's a lot of places that will set up and they call themselves cowboy churches.
	I don't know what that is.
	I think that's just a label that they put up to tell people in rural areas, you're going to be comfortable here or something like that.
	I don't know what the cowboy church is.
	We had some friends from North Carolina.
	They looked at us and said, What is a cowboy church?
	I don't know.
	But one of the guys said, I think those are people who have gone to seminary at Saddleback Church.
	And I'm not saying that they're doing the Toy Story stuff here, but I thought it was funny, the Saddleback Church connection.
	But what a joke that is.
	What a joke that is.
	One person writing for...
	This is D-I-S-N-T-R, thecenter.com.
	He said, well, actually, this isn't all that unusual.
	This kind of behavior is a disturbing trend in modern evangelicalism.
	The husband-wife-pastor duo dressed up like characters from Toy Story movie, and they preached a sermon about it.
	Actually, this disrespects the Bible and its teachings, and it disrespects God as well.
	God's not a joke. This is a joke.
	This church is a joke.
	But it's very popular. I mean, if you want to put women up in the pulpit, and if you want to do skits with a toy store, you're going to fill the church up.
	Thousands of tens of thousands of people, just as Rick Warren has been able to do for years.
	And he's looking at the next level up.
	Make sure that he can get that pension, I guess, when he's retired.
	So, as this person said, it actually disrespects the Bible and its teachings instead of lifting God's Word up high.
	It makes it feel like a cheesy Hollywood script.
	When we turn our sermons into movie themes, we're playing with God's Word.
	No movie, no matter how well made, can match the truth and the power of the Bible.
	I agree, and I've said that before.
	It's why I'm not interested in The Chosen.
	The guy that put it together, Dallas Jenkins, said, yeah, we've had to change a lot of things.
	Of course, you always will have to change things, but they're deliberately trying to change things.
	But even if you do it word by word, and there have been productions that have done that, you still editorialize when you act it out.
	How was this said?
	Who was he looking at when he said this?
	And on and on. There's all this subjective addition to it that you read into it.
	We need to remember the Bible isn't just another book or script.
	It's God's Word, full of truth and wisdom.
	It's not a story created by Hollywood.
	It's truth that can change our lives.
	But as they finished, they said, this is Rick Warren's legacy.
	And we're sure that he's very proud of it.
	Someone else talking about this was World Magazine.
	They said, turning worship into a clown show.
	And that's really what this is.
	A clown show. They said, you know, we are living in a very childish age.
	Take a look at the picture there.
	We are glad to have you here.
	Saddleback Church, you're welcome.
	It's lots of fun. Everything's going to be fun.
	Fun, fun, fun. We've got all kinds of activities for the kids, and it's great.
	We live in a childish age where immaturity is lionized.
	Whether it's the spoiled brat behavior of a celebrity makes me think about Trump.
	People love his spoiled brat behavior.
	And it's juvenile.
	It's beyond juvenile.
	It's the kind of juvenile behavior of a kid that needs to be taken out to the woodshed.
	Unfortunately, Trump is too big to take out to the woodshed, as he makes fun of Chris Christie all the time.
	Anyway, or the cheap tantrums of Joe Public on Twitter.
	This is the...
	The world in which we live.
	We love that kind of soap opera, that kind of conflict.
	We celebrate it, and so we get a lot more of that kind of behavior.
	And politics, as entertainment, and the rest of this.
	And so now, because the church follows the world in America, that's what we're getting in America.
	Childish behavior. There's a big difference between having child-likeness.
	You know, Jesus talked about, you know, unless you're like a child, you're not going to see the kingdom of heaven.
	So, you know, have this kind of fascination, this openness to what God is doing in your life.
	That's not childishness, which is what we're talking about here.
	And so, turning worship services into a comedy skit, It's far from being sensitive to the needs of the seeker.
	They say, well, we want to be seeker-friendly.
	We have people who are seeking God.
	Well, I don't know who those people are because the Bible says there's no one who seeks God.
	I don't know who these people are that they're supposed to reach, this mythical seeker who's out there.
	There are people who are being worked on by God.
	And see, that's the whole thing.
	If God is doing something in your heart, if he's Put circumstances in your life, maybe some kind of illness or adversity, maybe your pending death that you know about, because we all have a pending death coming, or maybe the pending death of a loved one or serious illness or something like that.
	If God's doing certain things that are driving you to ask questions about Him, well, then, you know, we need to do things that, since God is driving this, we need to do things that are going to honor God.
	Not treat this person as the one who is in charge.
	There's a fundamental problem there with their understanding of what people want and why they want it.
	Yeah, we have free will. But who is changing what we want?
	Through circumstances?
	Through direct interaction with us?
	Who is it that's changing what we want?
	Who's fixing our wanter, if you will?
	It sends a clear signal that the gospel is unworthy of attention by any serious-minded person, by any believer or unbeliever.
	Trivialization of worship rests ultimately upon a trivialization of God himself.
	Women in ministry was a focal point of the Southern Baptist controversy with Rick Warren.
	But this inane childishness parading as church seems to indicate that there are problems much deeper than that of who leads worship.
	It raises the fundamental question of whether some pastors even understand what the nature of worship is and why the church exists.
	And when worship is turned into a clown show with a religious patina, Christianity and Christians are infantilized, and God is mocked.
	And so, you look at this and you say, well, why does that matter?
	Well, you want to know why our civilization is circling the drain here?
	It's because the church is so weak, because we don't have any moral absolute authority.
	Who's going to take moral absolute authority seriously from a church that does that kind of nonsense?
	They don't even take it seriously.
	You want to know why? You've got people being arrested, prosecuted in the UK for praying silently, trying to stop babies from being mutilated.
	Why yesterday as we talked to Matt Truela, why somebody is being arrested when they're speaking out, and he wasn't even speaking out, he was just reading a passage in the Bible about love.
	Can't read the Bible here.
	We don't want the Bible here. This is a place where we are sexually grooming children in a dragon story hour.
	So get the Bible out of here.
	Get the Bible out of our society.
	We don't have God around us anymore.
	Well, that's what it looks like.
	And going back, as I said last week, you know, MacArthur's church in L.A., at the beginning of this, like so many churches, they said, all right, well, you know, we'll listen to the government.
	I think they had a deficient understanding at the beginning, honestly, of Romans 13.
	But they come around. You know, it was like, you don't do everything the government tells you to.
	But a lot of people really sincerely believed what the government was telling them.
	And then they realized, wait a minute, there isn't any danger to anybody.
	This is a fake pandemic.
	And furthermore, they have scared us into shutting down our churches.
	Some people understood from the very beginning and refused to shut it down.
	But I think a lot of people... They believed the panic and the fear that was being pushed out there, not just even by the mainstream media, but by people I worked for.
	So they believed that and they shut it down.
	Oh, this is a weaponized thing from the Wuhan thing.
	We better shut everything down and be afraid.
	I mean, you know, when we were at Infowars, at the very beginning, you had the people who were employees.
	They were literally heading for the hills, the hill country in Texas.
	They wouldn't come into work. Alex didn't believe it.
	He was there. But he was pushing it on air, saying, yeah, you're going to...
	and selling food. But I came in one day and he said...
	Well, he said, you and my dad, his dad's about my age.
	He said, you and my dad are the only ones who are not afraid of this stuff out there.
	Seems like you just keep coming here, but everybody else is afraid to come into work.
	But, you know, a lot of people sincerely believe that.
	And then they caught on to the game that was being played.
	And you had Pastor Coates up in Canada.
	He said as they were about to throw him in jail, you know, Stevenson was another one that they put in jail, in conservative Alberta.
	And but Coates, as he was preaching his final sermon before going to jail, he said, I wish I had paid more attention to history and to church history.
	I would have seen this sooner.
	Well, now that they've seen it, MacArthur has put together his church there in California.
	They fought this thing, tooth and nail, and they've put together a documentary talking about persecution and talking about what is going to be happening in the future because, folks, this isn't over.
	They've hit the pause button. And they're, you know, this is the 1-2 march, so they're on the other MacGuffin, they're on the Climate MacGuffin track, and we're going to talk about that when we come back.
	But here's John MacArthur talking about this in an interview.
	We were triumphant to the degree, and this is shocking, they wanted to shut us down.
	When we said to them, we're tired of being postponed and postponed and postponed, so let's have a real trial.
	And we'll depose all the health officials, we'll depose the supervisors, the political leaders of the city, county, and we'll get the truth.
	24 hours later...
	They said, we're done.
	We're out. So fearful of the truth.
	The truth about COVID. The truth about the lockdowns.
	The truth about masks. The truth about everything.
	We knew what all the questions were.
	And we wanted to depose them.
	And we were going to depose Gavin Newsom, the governor of California.
	And the panic was so severe that they paid the entire legal bill $3.5 million.
	And on top of that, They gave Grace Church a permanent injunction that the county can never, ever again in the future come against Grace Church.
	I mean, they gave up everything to protect themselves from the truth.
	And, of course, that's exactly what was happening in the story about the airline.
	Don't show me pictures of aborted babies.
	Don't show me a video of an abortion.
	All this kind of stuff. They can't handle the truth.
	And of course, they are very, you know, they're getting a special exemption for their particular church.
	It's a big church.
	They've got like 7,000 or 8,000 people that show up.
	And I was saying that all along.
	I said, you know, look, if the churches will stand up, and you've got a big church like that, finally did.
	You've got 7,000 or 8,000 people showing up every week.
	And I think the thing that really pushed it over the edge was when they said, you can't sing.
	You can't sing. Even if you come, stay separated, wear the masks, you can't sing.
	Okay, we're done with this charade.
	And so you had people showing up.
	You had NPR, if you remember, PBS, putting out these lists of the most dangerous activities that you could do.
	And of course, going to church was the most dangerous thing you could do.
	They put that there. Actually put that there.
	Because you're singing and all this other stuff, right?
	They have people, as you saw, you know, he's pretty old.
	He's in his 80s.
	And, you know, church demographics skew old.
	You've got a lot of old people that are going there.
	They're not dropping dead.
	They're not wearing masks.
	They're singing and all the rest of the stuff.
	It showed that these people were lying.
	It shows what the truth is just by them showing up.
	And as I said, we call their bluff.
	It said, well, you want to keep coming after us with these fines?
	They put massive fines against them, millions of dollars, other punitive measures as well.
	They escrowed the money and then they said, okay, now let's have a trial and let's get all the truth out.
	They said, no, we don't want to do that.
	Now, by giving that special carve-out to them, that is also going to work to the advantage of many of the other churches around there as well.
	Because we have a thing called equal protection of the law.
	Any of these other churches say, well, if you gave that to them, we already have this protected under the First Amendment.
	The reason they put this kind of stuff in is because we've got this legal fiction that somehow the unelected bureaucracy is not accountable to the law, not responsible to the law.
	And they don't have to give you your rights.
	They don't have to give you due process or presumption of innocence.
	They don't have to honor your religious liberties because they're regulatory agencies.
	So a public health agency can take away all of that stuff.
	Take away all your rights.
	We have to dethrone these people.
	They've made themselves little demigods, and they must be dethroned.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk to Tony.
	I'll just say one last thing here.
	We did have in a harbinger of what is going to come, and it's going to be a test of the backbone of these spineless politicians.
	We've already had Trump say, hey, you didn't lose that election because of me.
	You lost it because of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision.
	Then he goes out and takes credit for the Dobbs Supreme Court decision, right?
	No, the problem is, again, because we're playing games with these churches and stuff, Instead of talking about and dishonoring God.
	And we're not talking about serious issues and we don't take life seriously.
	You got in Ohio.
	They had a measure because this is going to be on the ballot.
	There's a measure to overthrow some of these abortion restrictions in Ohio and to amend the Constitution in order to do that.
	And so there was a battle this week.
	To say that you're going to have a much higher threshold to amend the Constitution.
	You had to have a 60% vote in order to amend the Constitution.
	They fought that battle, and the pro-life people lost.
	Lost. So, with a simple majority in November, they'll be able to amend the Constitution to kill babies.
	That's where we are, because we have a church that is AWOL. And we need to show up for duty.
	We'll be right back. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back and joining us now is Tony Arterman of Wise Wolf Gold.
	And of course, Tony has set up DavidKnight.Gold, which will take you to Wise Wolf and let him know that you're coming through us.
	But it's always great to have Tony on.
	And every week we talk about this.
	And we haven't gotten to the BRICS thing yet, Tony, but they're making moves on a daily basis in terms of locking us down, identifying us.
	And this whole WorldCoin soap opera thing just keeps going, doesn't it?
	It does. And thankfully, Africa is leading the way.
	You know, they kind of led the way on COVID. Yeah.
	If you notice back during the scandemic, they would say, well, we don't have the cases, you know, and we're not getting the vaccine.
	And people were just baffled over mainstream media.
	I wonder what's going on with Africa.
	And of course, Nigeria with the central bank digital currency.
	You know, they had adopted Bitcoin.
	So, oh, you must love the CBDC and nobody wanted it.
	And then you have Kenya.
	I sent you this article yesterday.
	And the leaders in Kenya said, WorldCoin, get out.
	You're not going to be able to, you know, they're giving away $50 worth of credit if you'll scan your iris and, you know, give your biometrics up to WorldCoin.
	And they said, get out.
	And I thought it was funny.
	If you scroll down through the article, They have the quote from Sam Altman, and he says, tools for humanity is what they're calling this rollout.
	It's tools for humanity. And I immediately thought of the Twilight Zone episode.
	Mr. Chambers, it's a cookbook!
	Tools to control humanity.
	It's tools to enslave us.
	And it's so evident, too.
	And I'm glad that Kenya gets it.
	They understand these guys are aliens who've flown in.
	They've got, as you pointed out, the Twilight Zone episode.
	We're just here to help you.
	And we're here to serve mankind.
	To serve man, yeah. And so the guy gets on, he looks at it, he goes, this is a cookbook.
	And yeah, the WorldCoin thing is a cookbook.
	And as you pointed out, you know, we got Sam Altman pushing an altcoin as well as Sam Bankman, right?
	You pointed out that last week.
	That is true. But you know, we look at, you know, Nigeria rejecting this, rejecting their CBDC, as you pointed out, Kenya saying, get out of here with the WorldCoin stuff.
	But we've also had, and the rejections of the COVID stuff.
	I had a listener who lived in Africa, and he was writing this stuff.
	He says, yeah, the Europeans are freaking out, and they're trying to get out of the country and get back home and everything.
	He goes, everybody else here is just going on about their normal lives, all the people here in Africa.
	And then there's another one showing how they are really...
	Thinking independently, and that was Uganda.
	Remember they came out and they said, well, we're not going to do this LGBT stuff.
	We've seen how that's played out in the West.
	And you had even Ted Cruz, you know, shaking his finger on it.
	How dare them do this and everything.
	He said, look, we don't care. You can put economic sanctions against us and we don't care.
	We don't want your money.
	We're not going to sell out our families to this agenda.
	And now they are putting sanctions against them.
	And they still say, we don't care.
	Well, good for them. Yeah, exactly.
	And I think it really goes to show how brainwashed the West has become because of our mass media.
	Yes. Africa generally doesn't have that.
	I mean, are they showing CNN in the airports?
	I don't know.
	Do they have that contract all over the continent?
	I don't think so. And I think it's pretty apparent.
	I mean, there's a rejection there on that level because we have mind control here stronger than theirs.
	And our populace is subject to that.
	And also, I think, you know, we have a bad case of affluenza here.
	You know, we're so addicted to comfort and to money, and they aren't.
	You know, they have this agrarian society, which Jefferson said it's kind of the backbone of self-government and that type of thing.
	They're even, you know, they're putting what they're offering these people...
	To get a scan of their eyeball and to put them in their database so they've got a tool to control humanity, they're only offering them $50.
	These people are saying, stuff it.
	They know that if they were to offer us $50, that's a pittance to us.
	But it's significant to those people because they're operating in a poor area.
	They're self-sufficient, essentially, with their agriculture.
	But they're not going to sell their souls for $50 and tell them to take a hike.
	But we do this kind of stuff, as you point out, primarily because the media propagandizing people.
	But we also, it's like, oh, don't take away my money.
	We've come to love money so much that if they come after us for some bigger dollar amount, we probably would.
	I mean, you look at it, it's like, okay, we wouldn't do it for 50.
	But let's say that they offered an amount to Americans that was significant to us.
	Let's say that they offered $1,000 or something, right?
	Because we had people lining up to get the shot when you had DeWine offering a chance to win a million dollars, right?
	People lined up for that.
	It was a miniscule chance. Or a Krispy Kreme donut.
	Yeah. Even that.
	Even that. You know, I guess we sell our prices really pretty low.
	That's like the game of scruples.
	We realized when we were playing that game one time, we said, they just keep asking us the same three or four questions and changing the price tag here, you know?
	So some people's price is a Krispy Kreme donut.
	I guess one Krispy Kreme in the hand is worth a million dollars in the bush, right?
	Yeah. I think it kind of looks like Facebook's Libra.
	Remember that failed experiment?
	I don't know, David.
	Maybe they'll try to get Americans to take it for free.
	Maybe it'll be some kind of social pressure or something like that.
	I don't know. I mean, definitely, you make a great point there.
	$50 an Afro, that's a lot of money.
	And for them to stand and say no to that, I think is amazing.
	Yeah. Well, you know, you talk about Libra, and in the middle of that white paper that Zuckerberg was putting out there to try to make himself the world's banker, you know, this is going to be the global currency.
	He said, this will become a de facto global ID. You like me now?
	You know, can we do it now? And so Altman is doing a couple more things.
	So what he's doing is he's saying, well, not only is it going to be a de facto global ID, but it'll be a de facto biometric global ID. And we will also start getting people accustomed to universal basic income.
	So he's sweetened it to a couple of different levels.
	But I still don't think that they're going to go with him to do that.
	I do think that they will give him...
	All kinds of concessions in terms of artificial intelligence and monopoly carve-outs that he went to Congress to get.
	I think they're going to give that to him.
	They're going to give that to the Microsoft competitor, but I don't think that they're going to go with a WorldCoin thing.
	Hope not. It may not be Mr.
	Altman, but they definitely love this system.
	He's going to be rewarded for building the technology because this is the ultimate goal.
	And you talk about central bank digital currency and you look at...
	And they may use this public-private partnership stuff.
	I mean, this is really fascism in the 21st century.
	They've become really good at this over the years.
	So I think that there will be some...
	Looking at the rejection of central bank digital currency, are they floating this...
	as a way to merge it, you know, make it look like it's a launch of a crypto.
	You can get rich doing this and you just, you know, give up your biometric data.
	Everybody's doing it.
	And then they link it up to, to governments.
	Yeah.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Oh, absolutely. And, you know, when you're talking about these tools for humanity, the other thing he said was the company argues in the future, when AI is, quote, fully functional, it will be difficult to determine whether a subject is human or machine.
	So that's why you've got to verify your humanity to them, right?
	And as I've said before, they keep creating these crises.
	We've got an open border because we're pulling people in with a social welfare net and all these other things.
	And so we have these manufactured crises.
	And so you're going to have to get an ID. It's going to be the solution to everything.
	We've got pornography as a problem, so you're going to have to have an ID to use the Internet.
	In this particular case, we've already seen this argument You know, deepfakes.
	We've got deepfakes out there. Okay, so we're going to have, they've already in place, put their solution, the Coalition for Content, Provenance, and Authentication.
	Microsoft and DARPA putting that out there, getting the CPU companies, getting Adobe and the software creation companies to put an ID on everything that we create because AI might do something fake.
	They don't put it on AI. They don't put the ID requirements on the people coming into the country.
	They put the requirements on us.
	Everything is a crisis that they manufacture to route us into their solutions, and their solutions always involve some kind of an ID. It's just amazing.
	Yeah, who knew? It's the Hegelian dialectic.
	It's their favorite game.
	And now you have people have to prove they're not AI instead of AI having to prove it's not a human.
	It's totally backwards.
	And that's the system they want to build.
	This is the technocracy.
	This is what, you know, I was looking at technocracy.news this morning, Patrick Woodside.
	He's got great articles over there.
	One of the articles we can talk about is just that we're going to get into China and buying gold, but all these central banks start buying gold, and this is part of the technocratic system.
	I was going to read a portion of his article today.
	It really captures the essence of what's going on.
	When I come on and talk about metals with you, why are we doing that?
	Why are David and I talking about precious metals?
	It's because this is historic, ladies and gentlemen.
	We're watching The rollout of central bank digital currencies, they have the technology to capture us into a one-world currency.
	When they push it, they can do it, but we're pushing back against that.
	And you can see the game is about to change, whether we're talking about the BRICS nations, a meeting here coming up on August 22nd.
	That's Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.
	Now they've got Saudi Arabia in the periphery, Mexico, possibly Japan.
	Momentous shifts in the global economy and what it means for currency, for money, for transactions.
	Everything is about to change, and it won't change in one day, but what you're watching is a series of changes, and all of these things matter.
	This is a story that goes together.
	It's really historic, David.
	That's right. And of course, at the same time, we're seeing this massive move in the UK to debank Nigel Farage and other people, following on with what we saw from PayPal, where they went after the guy that's got the Daily Skeptic, and that got a lot of attention from the mainstream press there.
	But of course, PayPal has been doing that for quite some time here in the US. They did it to me back in May of 2021.
	But, you know, now PayPal is coming out.
	So you've got a couple of different things happening.
	People are saying, well, if you haven't been Debanked yet, you're going to be debanked eventually.
	They might debank you because of your political views or your climate views or your religious views.
	They might stop you just because they don't like your consumption habits and that type of thing.
	You've already got Bank of America snitching on people who use their credit cards to buy guns.
	They turned that information over, red flagged that, and of course Bank of America was turning over all the transactions of people who were anywhere in the vicinity of January the 6th, so they could be part of this dragnet for the FBI to look at that.
	So all these things are happening, and I wonder, Tony, if this debanking aspect is just another leg of this to push people into their CBDC to say, well, you know, you're going to have to go into, you know, the private banks are not going to let you be in there.
	Well, but, you know, because we're government, we've got to let you in, and so you can't use a private banking system because these people are just following their own prejudices.
	And, of course, that's a lie. We've seen that with the free speech stuff.
	They're just the deputized state.
	But they might put out that lie and say, well, they're private companies.
	They can do whatever they want. We don't agree with that, but they can do that.
	But, you know, if you want to be able to buy and sell, you can always use the Federal Reserve's Fed coin to do this stuff.
	We're not going to kick you out. We're the federal government.
	We can't do that. I don't know.
	I don't think people realize just how many millions of Americans don't have a bank account.
	Yeah.
	They're not bankable.
	Either something happened in their past, maybe they went through some financial hardship and they got overdrawn and they owed a bank.
	Not everybody can open a bank account.
	Yeah.
	And you're exactly right.
	And I've been thinking about that.
	And it keeps growing, the number of Americans that really...
	And then you can get into some really...
	They prey upon those people, too.
	They get them into really bad banking accounts, charge them for everything, their feed up and down.
	So, yeah, you're exactly right.
	It'll be the solution, whether it's the loss of purchasing power of the dollar or economic hard times.
	It's kind of like WorldCoin is offering the $50 to give away your biometric data.
	Same thing with CBDC. CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currency, will be tied to you, either biometrically.
	It's going to be tied to your ID, your wallet.
	It's not like Bitcoin, where I can go download an Exodus wallet.
	It has nothing to do with an exchange.
	You send me Bitcoin.
	That's my Bitcoin. I own the keys.
	This will be something totally...
	They'll own the keys to your wallet, and you're sacrificing, and that will be your freedom and your liberty for your UBI, for your universal basic income.
	That's right. Yeah, they're going to put an ID tag on us as their livestock, and of course they're going to track everything that we produce with this CCPA. Of course, they call it the C2PA because they don't want you to see how much it's like the Chinese Communist Party.
	Of America. But, you know, that's what that is all about.
	And, you know, PayPal has had this history now.
	For a couple years, they've been kicking people off they didn't like politically.
	They didn't get any attention drawn to it, even though I know other people that have had this happen to them as well.
	In the UK, they got attention drawn to it, and then there was a lot of threats made to them.
	As a matter of fact, they even put out the thing where they were going to charge people $2,500.
	Remember that? And they came up with this...
	Well, I don't know how that got there.
	Strange that you would say that. I don't know why you would say that.
	And then they said, that's just a mistake.
	And everybody goes, you put out this legal document and you say you don't know how that got there?
	And then they showed that they were lying when all the heat died down after a couple of weeks.
	They put it back in. And now they're out there pushing a stable coin.
	Again, why, Tony, would PayPal tell you that you've got to use a PayPal stablecoin?
	I mean, why would they interject that into the mix?
	What do you think? I wonder why.
	I think a lot of these moves that are being made, you know, the bigs are consolidating more and more.
	We watched this through the Silvergate banking crisis, when crypto with FTX and these regional banks started to hemorrhage.
	And the bigs started looking at that and I think just licking their chops.
	They're waiting to buy them up.
	And again, I think PayPal is...
	Really untouchable at this point.
	I mean, they've debanked people, they've censored people, but they keep on moving.
	I have to use PayPal. I use PayPal right now, and I don't like to.
	Yeah, I don't use it.
	Because I know their stance. I don't use it because they won't let me use it.
	I actually tried to, I wanted to buy something.
	It wasn't very much money, and it was like some kind of a, you know, music sample or something.
	And these people only would sell that if you had PayPal.
	So it's like, well, I can't get it, you know?
	And so, yeah, PayPal is, I've been banned personally from using any PayPal.
	And in the UK, they now have a parental group called Us for Them.
	This grew out of the pandemic and the lockdown of the schools, and so they brought this group together to try to get the schools open.
	That falls in the category, be careful what you ask for, right?
	You just might get the schools reopened.
	But because they didn't like their politics and because they were against the COVID narrative, And they've now had their accounts being shut down by PayPal.
	And so they're making a big deal out of this because PayPal's in a legal situation where they're supposed to get validated by the regulators this year.
	And if they don't, it has some big consequences for them, perhaps.
	So they're trying to do this to make sure that they can't keep and get attention, to make sure that they can't stay in business.
	But again, PayPal is so big.
	And I don't know what Musk is going to do.
	Again, Musk and Peter Thiel were the ones who started the PayPal, brought the PayPal thing together, merging their companies.
	And so now the two of them are looking at creating perhaps a competitor, X. You know, that's going to be this all-comprehensive thing.
	They want to do payments as well, become like a Weibo in China.
	But... He'll probably come in, and that may be one of the reasons why he's fought so hard with Twitter, to show people that he's going to be a free speech platform.
	Maybe he's going to use those creds to say that he's going to, you know, we're going to do payments as well, and we're going to push back against what PayPal is doing and these various governments are going to do.
	But I still think that ultimately they will go that way, don't you?
	It'll be kind of a rope-a-dope thing.
	Well, they've done this before.
	I've seen this. It's free speech.
	We're the digital public square.
	Come on down. Bring your content.
	Don't worry about websites. Don't create your own individual thing right here.
	That's where everybody is.
	And then years down the road, they say, we don't like what you said, so you're deleted.
	That's right. This is, I think, our version of the social credit score.
	That's what's going on right now.
	It's sophisticated. And you're talking about PayPal with stablecoins.
	We're creating different classes of people, David.
	That's what's happening. Where people that are allowed to take part in commerce, allowed to post on social media, there's going to be that class of people.
	And then there's going to be the class that, you know, they invested their time, they joined, they did all the things until they spoke out.
	Maybe they talked about the Constitution or Christianity or just said something wrong, think.
	And that will get them banned.
	And again, that's the two systems, the...
	The double standard that I think we've been seeing across the board here, really, and kicking into hyperdrive in the last three years.
	Yeah, I agree. I think it is just they see a marketing opportunity in the same way that Rupert Murdoch looked at the news and said, he's not a conservative, of course.
	He looks at the news and goes, well, all of them are leaning left.
	Let me do one that's leaning to the right.
	And so he creates that.
	And then when he goes to talk radio, he says, well, most talk radio is conservative.
	So let's do a talk radio leftist network and that type of thing.
	I think that's what Musk and Teal are going to do with their X platform.
	It's going to be the same kind of rope-a-dope, as you pointed out, that the internet was all about, social media was all about.
	And Drudge, the longest time before he switched, you know, he would say, well, what they're setting up with social media is a gated area.
	You go in there, and everything is free at first, and then they shut the gates, right?
	Yeah. It's a gated community, and then they're going to turn the gas on in this prison, which is really what we've seen now happening with free speech.
	So what is going on with the central banks?
	We're still a week or so away from the BRICS meeting to find out what's going to happen with that.
	But China's been buying a lot of gold.
	As a matter of fact, the other day I was talking about how much the public is starting to buy gold as well now.
	There's an article, there's two that I wanted to talk about.
	One Zero Hedge, I sent this to you yesterday.
	China buys 23 tons of gold for the ninth straight month of purchases.
	If you go into the article, and it's something I've been saying recently, First of all, they want the world to know that.
	There was a while that they hid their purchases.
	And every central bank except one around the world became a net buyer of gold after 2009.
	And the one that was excluded is the United States of America because the Federal Reserve is the world's reserve currency.
	The dollar is at war with gold.
	It's at war with value.
	If it starts purchasing gold and it buys into the global supply, it's going to drive the price up.
	Again, that's detrimental to the dollar, and you can see that.
	But something interesting in this article, David, and again, they've broken all the records.
	Since the records were kept in the 1950s, central banks buying gold in the last couple of years, especially last year and then this year, they're just breaking all the records.
	You go down and you look at the article and what they're talking about is the fact The fact that central banks like the European Central Banks and the Federal Reserve, historically when they raise rates, it drives the price of metals down.
	You go back to Ben Bernanke in 2009, 2010, and he says, look, the price of gold was reaching close to $2,000 an ounce.
	The Federal Reserve stepped in and said, Okay, we did TARP funds.
	We're never going to do that again.
	Don't worry. The dollar is sound.
	And again, people started dumping their gold holdings and it drove gold close to $2,000 an ounce and it drove it down to $1,100 an ounce.
	And people walked away.
	Silver was breaking into the $50 range and it went down.
	But what's happened is the amount of central banks buying gold, even with the raising of rates, it's still keeping prices high because the amount of demand is historic.
	You're right. People are buying gold.
	I covered this in the last couple of shows I did.
	Millennials are outpacing my generation of Gen X and the baby boomers by a large margin.
	And unfortunately, they're buying ETFs, but they start to see the writing on the wall.
	I think the younger generations understand that there's a historic shift going on in what value is.
	Mm-hmm. Patrick Wood had an article up.
	Same thing. I just looked into technocracy.news this morning.
	Same thing there.
	The central bank's buying gold and the issue with where we are historically is that mathematically they can't I'm not talking just about the dollar, just fiat currency in general, David.
	In the modern era, we're used to throwing around numbers like trillion, right?
	This is something unprecedented, as you know.
	And I ask people, how long ago was a trillion seconds?
	And it seems like it can't be that long.
	Well, it's 32,000 years.
	Because a billion seconds is 32 years.
	It's 32 years ago.
	So that's obtainable.
	In your mind, you can wrap that up.
	But that's how far removed a trillion is from a billion.
	It's a thousand billion. So it's 32,000 years ago.
	It was a trillion seconds, folks.
	These numbers that are tied to fiat currency and central banks are unsustainable.
	They are not going to last through this century.
	And the powers that be know this.
	By the way, they're not telling you to buy gold.
	The central banks aren't.
	No, no, no, no. Remember the golden rule.
	He who has the gold makes the rules.
	I think these are the big stories.
	We cover this, and I'm so glad to talk to you every Thursday about this stuff because it's so important.
	It's not that I'm coming on and wanting people.
	I'm not an infomercial. I'm not telling people just buy gold for me.
	That's not what we do.
	But it is understanding what is about to change.
	That's why David and I broadcast.
	I really want to talk about history and how you can prepare and be ahead of it.
	Because so much of this narrative benefits the wealthy and the elite.
	And that's what they're doing.
	Watch what they say, not what they do.
	Yeah, we're at a period of time.
	What was it, Lenin who said that?
	In the next few years, we're going to see decades happening in each year.
	We're going through a period of very rapid change.
	They understand that.
	We should understand that.
	These same people who talk about millennials, who came up with it?
	Who coined that term in these different generational terms?
	Strauss and Howe, who talked about the fourth turning.
	And they predicted all the things that have been happening here.
	Not because, you know, they are psychics or anything like that, or they didn't have artificial intelligence either.
	They just looked at history, and they saw a cyclical thing happening every four generations.
	I've got a comment here for you on Rockfin from Brian Taylor.
	He says, what should young people who don't have a lot of money for gold and silver do to prepare for CBDC? Well, you want something outside of the system.
	You want to understand how to use a decentralized cryptocurrency wallet.
	I don't have anything to do with it, but I would look at something like Exodus.
	Cryptocurrency is important.
	The other side of that coin is actual coins, gold and silver.
	If you don't have a lot of cash, first of all, you can look at Wolfpack and you can go to davidknight.gold.
	We've got a package for $50 a month called the lone wolf package.
	We're going to put silver and goldbacks.
	We're going to put a lot of fractionalized coins in there for you.
	That's the key. Fractionalized coins, that is also something that's very important because that's the big, you know, dig against gold and all that kind of stuff.
	You know, well, you got a coin and it's worth $2,000 now or whatever it's going to be in the future.
	Silver makes that a little bit easier, but then there's also fractionalized gold coins and gold, you know, paper that has gold embedded in it.
	Those things are going to be very important, I think.
	Goldbacks are great. We order goldbacks every month for Wolfpack members.
	Fractionalized, you're going to pay a little bit more premium.
	But again, when you're holding a, let's say you've got silver dimes, you know, they made fun of Ron Paul back when he ran for president in 08.
	He said, you know, I can get gas down again to a dime a gallon and everybody laughed.
	And he said, well, actually a silver dime is worth about $3.
	You know, and again, that's It's the separation of logic.
	You know, we don't teach about money in school.
	And there's a reason for that.
	Henry Ford said if people understood the banking system, there'd be a revolution by morning.
	I think he was right. So we're being robbed.
	And that's the way you have, when you hold gold and silver in your hand, you've got something physical.
	There's no counterparty risk.
	Just you and that coin.
	You can trade it for something, and that person's going to take it in exchange for whatever they have.
	That's how you stay outside of the central bank digital currency, those two things.
	And maybe cryptocurrency is going to get harder over the years.
	I hope it doesn't. I'm still optimistic there because there's more and more adoption every single day.
	Well, there's a fight right now with SEC trying to shut down CoinDesk.
	They said to them, well, we're going to shut you down for every cryptocurrency except for Bitcoin.
	And as I talked about that, I said, so why did they exempt Bitcoin?
	Well, because they didn't want to go against we the people.
	There's too many people involved in Bitcoin.
	They'll do it incrementally.
	They'll set up a precedent and say, well, we're going to, all of the cryptocurrencies but Bitcoin will treat them as securities.
	Well, if you go that route, it's only a matter of time before they say the same thing about Bitcoin and use that as a preparation to ban it.
	Uh, so there's different things that we can do.
	There's risks with all of these different things.
	So you ought to try several different things.
	I'd say that to you, Brian, uh, but also, you know, what Tony was talking about there, you know, silver is available in smaller sizes and it's less money than gold is, but you can also get gold in these small fractionalized amounts.
	And as Tony said, the premium is going to be a little bit more for that.
	But when you look at something like, uh, you know, the alternative, as you mentioned, Tony, you got a lot of, um, Millennials who are buying ETFs.
	They're buying paper gold or paper silver.
	But they need to realize that, and I realized this because I was buying it for my IRA for a while.
	I put it in paper gold and paper silver.
	But then I realized, wait a minute, these things are not tracking.
	And I started looking at why isn't the paper gold and paper silver, why isn't it tracking the spot price of gold?
	Then I found out that there may not be anything there.
	It's got to be something that you actually hold, and you can hold small amounts of it, and you can buy it incrementally, as he pointed out, with the Woolpack program or something else like that.
	That's a sophisticated system of manipulation when you're talking.
	I don't even know how it works.
	I've read a couple of books on it.
	There's some researchers that I think have nailed it over the years, how the central banks work with the bullion houses to suppress the price.
	I don't think we're seeing the real price.
	See, the real price of gold, and that's what's So interesting about what I do.
	You know, Nixon took us off the gold standard in 71.
	It was $35 an ounce.
	By the end of the 70s, it was close to $800 an ounce.
	But does that mean that gold went up in value?
	And there's a difference between value and pricing because they're purchasing power.
	And that's what we're in right now.
	I think the powers that be know this.
	There's going to be a revaluation of currency across the board.
	And these countries are getting together like the BRICS nations.
	And they're going to try to, I think, announce on the 22nd or sometime after some sort of gold-backed currency for their countries.
	Kind of the incubation stage of whatever is going to kill the dollar.
	And it's maybe a series of things.
	But that's what we're up against.
	The dollar is on its way out.
	Other nations know this and they're banding together.
	Gold seems to be carrying the day for those who want to seek shelter from the devaluation storm.
	Yeah, yeah. Yeah, when I started looking at the paper gold stuff, as you pointed out, and we've talked about this in the past, it really is kind of like a fiat metal.
	And I saw it was coming from the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and it's like, oh, okay, wait a minute, there may not be anything at all there.
	And of course, there's a lot of people who...
	They're questioning what is really there to back this stuff up, and as you pointed out, it looks like they're manipulating the value of that.
	But, you know, when you look at it with gold IRAs, one of the articles you sent to me was three big reasons to open a gold IRA now.
	And I think a lot of people don't realize that you don't have to invest in the paper gold or paper silver, that you can actually invest in physical gold with a gold IRA. Talk a little bit about that.
	I sent you that because of that.
	I think a lot of people are just misled or just misinformed.
	They don't understand that you can buy physical precious metals with your IRA or 401k.
	And, you know, the 401ks and the IRAs are linked to all this paper, the stock market and the market itself.
	And, you know, Goldman Sachs even put out a report this year that said there will be no more returns from the stock market this year in 2023.
	I'm not an investment person.
	I make that pretty clear on everything that I do.
	Gold and silver to me are money.
	It just houses. I'm a protection person.
	I want you to protect your wealth.
	Wealth is, I think, gold and silver are a representation of energy and work.
	You save.
	An IRA that's backed by gold and silver, that's your gold and silver.
	It goes into a third-party vault.
	It's very easy.
	If you have an existing IRA, and we've taken care of a lot of David Knight listeners on this, if you have an existing IRA or 401k, you can go to davidknight.gold and contact us.
	We can show you how you can convert that.
	And there's no penalties to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a gold and silver IRA.
	And this is your medal.
	Like if you had $10,000 in an IRA, David, you could take that, convert it into a gold and silver precious metals IRA.
	You pick your vault, which is like nine over the country.
	I use Dallas.
	But you have to put it in a third-party vault to comply with the IRA rules.
	But if you buy 10 American Gold Eagles from me and 10 100-ounce silver bars, those bars are yours.
	Those coins are yours.
	They go into your vault.
	And then I think what's 59 is when an IRA matures at age 59.
	You can withdraw that.
	And so if you're going long-term, to me, and again, not investment advice, but go look at What has happened to silver?
	Look at the historical price of silver and then measure that against the loss of purchasing power of the dollar.
	You tell me if silver is undervalued.
	I'm just going to let you make your own decision.
	I know in 1980 it was $50 an ounce.
	That's like $200 today in purchasing power.
	It's still under $30 to buy retail silver right now.
	That's crazy.
	In 2023, and the gold and silver ratio is very much skewed.
	When you're talking about a revaluation of currencies, And you're talking about loss of purchasing power from the dollar.
	And silver is cheap. I think you're positioned very well to buy physical silver.
	It's the most thermoconductive metal.
	It's used in solar.
	It's used in medicine.
	And the demand is skyrocketing.
	So I like silver for that.
	I like gold to house your value as well.
	But again, these are easy things for us to do.
	If you're sitting on the fence and wondering what to do next and looking at your 401k, give us a call.
	Maybe we can, especially with prices the way they are, we can get you into a gold and silver.
	Yeah, that's true. Especially, you know, Brian, who's talking about a young person.
	If you were to do something like that, you look at it and say, okay, it's historically low prices.
	We've got brand new applications like solar panels that are using massive amounts of it and everything.
	So, you know, over a long period of time, it's a pretty good bet.
	You know, if you're trying to time a market on any of this kind of stuff, you know, you can't always do that.
	So if you've got to have something in the next five years, that may or may not happen in that period of time.
	But it's not going, I don't think, it certainly isn't going to lose its value because it's so depressed there.
	I wouldn't think that... You know, it'd be much of a downside risk.
	But the upside potential for somebody who's young to put that into an IRA, of course, that money's going to be locked away from you.
	But there are other ways that you can get it out if you've got some kind of a hardship.
	You can do withdrawals from an IRA. But, you know, over a long-range horizon, you look at how depressed it is right now, especially silver, but also even gold.
	That's a good point.
	Tell us a little bit about what's going on right now at wisewolf.gold.
	Well, we're just working on continuing keeping our supply chain open.
	And I've got a good buffer for Wolfpack.
	We've got a lot of neat products coming out.
	I mentioned last week that we have another tier that we put out called Wolf Cub, which is for kids.
	And my staff, the ladies that work for me here in Branson, they're really excited because they were finding different...
	Wolves and coins, putting together a coloring book, and we're going to do that, and an explanation of the coins for a wolf cub, and it's only $35, and that's a great gift.
	But Wolfpack, and I've been really busy with this, David, is building that community there.
	We've got more stuff rolling out very soon.
	We've got close to 800 members.
	The more people that join, the better prices that we can get for people.
	Because I've got better purchasing power.
	And I'm buying from the public, and I'm buying from wholesalers.
	But a lot of great products.
	Goldbacks, fractional silver, fractional gold.
	It's a great mix.
	If you go look at the reviews, and I think so many of the Wolfpack members are David Knight listeners, and we so appreciate that.
	And I've said, I'm continuing this, and let's...
	Unless I'm wrong, I asked the ladies yesterday here at Branson, how many more silver dollars do I have?
	It wasn't that many, but we've still got some up front.
	So if you're a David Knight listener, you upgrade or you join Wolfpack, that's a free silver dollar.
	I'll include that. Anything from Lone Wolf and above, I'll include a free silver dollar.
	Go to davidknight.gold, and it's a way to support the show.
	We love sponsoring David, and I love our talks every Thursday.
	Last week I laughed when you chose the title of the interview, the alt man and the bank man.
	I'm glad that you found that funny.
	I did. I thought that was a perfect take on what these guys are doing.
	It is amazing, isn't it, how these big guys, these billionaires, just get to control society.
	It is amazing.
	It's like, what is it, Hemingway's making fun of S. Scott Fitzgerald when he says, you know, because Fitzgerald says, the rich are different than you and I. And Hemingway said, yeah, they have more money.
	They just have more money, folks.
	And some of them aren't that smart.
	I mean, you watch that submarine guy with the remote control.
	I mean, that could give you some pause.
	He was stupid enough not only to make that, that's dumb enough, but you know, you could look at this and say, well, you know, he just doesn't care about other people.
	But he actually got in it himself.
	I mean, he really believed that stuff.
	That's terrifying. The screen door submarine.
	And people like it when you're on, Tony.
	As a matter of fact, on Rumble, Nick Ellenbecker, thank you for the tip.
	I appreciate that, Nick.
	And he says, always enjoy segments with Tony.
	Thank you. And they do.
	We've got another one here from Mr.
	Goldfold. Thank you for the tip.
	He says, no bank account, no cell phone.
	Wow, I envy that person.
	Yeah, that is true.
	He might be referring to an article that I saw of a guy who is He doesn't have any income.
	He doesn't have any ID. He's like living out in the woods, I think, in Virginia somewhere.
	And some guy did a little mini-documentary on him.
	It's kind of interesting.
	But it's always great talking to you, Tony.
	Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
	Thank you, Dave. WiseWolf.gold.
	And, of course, you can get there with DavidKnight.gold.
	We're going to be right back. And I want to talk a little bit about some more miscellaneous news things.
	But I want to begin with a DARPA-funded study.
	We're going to use AI to detect violations of social norms when you're writing.
	Now, what could possibly go wrong with that?
	THE END
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Yeah, why would the Pentagon be doing this?
	As a matter of fact, why would DARPA be doing this?
	The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
	Funding a study to use artificial intelligence to look at violations of Of social norms.
	Of course, it's a conspiracy theory to say that they're going to be imposing a social credit system on us or increasing the censorship and all the rest of this stuff.
	Yeah, nothing to worry about at all with that.
	As a matter of fact, before I get into this, though, let me say also thank you on Rockfin to Gmo.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. Yeah, the Pentagon's DARPA, as these people point out in this extreme tech out of the article, they've momentarily turned their attention away from self-flying helicopters and human-spotting robots, and also self-flying jets, which they just did this last week or so, to provide resources for a strange implementation of artificial intelligence.
	Funding provided by the agency and researchers at Israel's Ben-Gurion University have created an AI tool that detects violations of social norms.
	Think back about the prisoner, favorite of guard, goldsmith, and mine.
	You're being very unmutual here.
	That was the rebuke that they would give to number six in the village where he's being held as a prisoner.
	You're being unmutual.
	And so I guess now...
	Pentagon and DARPA have a program where they're going to identify the people who are unmutual.
	The tool, another one of these tools for humanity, to serve us, right?
	The tool reliably spots infringements on 10 different types of social norms, offering psychologists and sociologists a unique way to study human behavior.
	And again, how are they going to get this information?
	Through the internet. And I've said this from the very beginning.
	The internet, from the very beginning, J.C.R. Licklider, a psychologist at DARPA, the same agency here, in the 1960s, was talking about the internet, how they needed to set it up.
	And in the 1990s, when the technology got to the point where it was fast enough, they started putting their intelligence community people on all these different venture capital boards, and you even had the CIA openly create a venture capital firm.
	You know, they usually, prior to that, they kind of kept it a secret as to who they were giving money to, but it wasn't a secret.
	And so you had all these different competitors that were all...
	part of the team and then let them go at each other.
	May the best man win.
	And we're going to offer you free stuff and freedom and all the rest of the stuff for a little while.
	And then we're going to close the gates and now we've got you under our control.
	They have established the kind of behavior where people feel comfortable talking about themselves and Just got that guy killed in Utah, right?
	I don't think he was really seriously going to do anything about it.
	I think he's just talking like a tough guy.
	Talking about how much he loved Trump, how much he hated Biden.
	Showing pictures of his guns and taunting them.
	Saying, yeah, I'm going to get my ghillie suit so we can take this guy out or whatever.
	He didn't have, he wasn't doing anything about that.
	But they show up on his doorstep and shoot him dead.
	And when are people going to learn?
	How many times have we seen somebody even posting up something that is innocent, you know?
	A kid in school, look at my new hunting rifle.
	Well, he gets expelled from school.
	They're watching. They're watching everything that you do.
	So the tool identifies violations across ten social norm types.
	Competence, politeness.
	Well, I guess we can, you know, puts Trump in the spotlight there.
	Ha ha! Trust, that would do it as well.
	Discipline, caring, agreeableness, success, conformity, decency, and loyalty.
	I don't think we're going to have any politicians going to make that cut.
	Violate that in multiple ways.
	When the researchers input a text scenario, the tool assesses whether the text describes a social norm transgression.
	A sin. The establishment, authoritarian government, has a list of sins.
	In a soap opera-worthy text about a married couple's tendency to cheat on one another, the tool identified shame.
	This must not have been about Trump.
	He has no shame about that.
	Conversely, in a text describing academic success, the tool found that the narrator had obeyed a social norm, in other words, doing well in school.
	That's not a social norm anymore.
	Seriously, you do well in school, that's white supremacy or privilege or whatever they want to call it.
	And was experiencing a reward, pride, for so doing.
	Well, as a result, tools like this one might offer a new pathway to To study human decision-making, values, cooperation, and that's all well and good, probably, but it doesn't explain why the Pentagon would be interested in it.
	But we all know, don't we? I mean, it's a rhetorical question.
	Why is the Pentagon interested in this?
	Why are they doing the CBDC? Why are they doing FedNow?
	Oh, you'll be able to get money transferred to you 24-7, 365.
	We can already do that. There's multiple apps.
	PayPal is... Punishing people.
	But there's a lot of other apps that are out there besides PayPal and Venmo.
	But, yeah, why are they doing that?
	And why are they doing this?
	As a result, one has to wonder why DARPA has its hands in a system that not only studies social norms, but identifies violations that are bound to happen within any social environment.
	Well, obviously it is for punishment.
	And when we look at that, and what happened this last week, last weekend, I haven't talked about this yet, here we are on Thursday, it's almost a week now since, Jamie Foxx was identified as being anti-Semitic.
	Now if you remember, Jamie Foxx, the last we saw of him in the social media soap opera, you know, what was happening, all the talk was about these severe health issues that he had.
	Is he dying from the vaccine or did he have a stroke or something like that?
	And now that he's back out, he has a very serious situation.
	And as I say, there's no atheists in foxholes.
	Well, maybe the situation that Jamie Foxx was in, maybe that drove the atheists right out of him.
	But he came back talking about Jesus.
	And then he put up something that they immediately flagged as racist.
	And this is what he had to say.
	He said, they killed this dude named Jesus.
	What do you think they'll do to you?
	And immediately, that was grabbed by an organization that profits off of claims of anti-Semitism.
	The account for a Jewish author and attorney, Howard A. At Law.
	He puts that up and just says, anti-Semitism.
	Did he say who they were?
	You know, a lot of people had a hand in the execution of Jesus, didn't they?
	The Romans executed under Pontius Pilate.
	So, is it the Italians?
	Are we talking about the Italians? And when they talk about the Jews in the Bible, it's typically talking about the leadership.
	You know, the hypocritical leadership that would go through all the outward signs of compliance, but they really were looking to get him because he would heal somebody on the Sabbath or something like that.
	So that's typically talking about the general leadership.
	But of course, the people in Jerusalem in general said, give us Barabbas.
	But of course, Jesus was Jewish.
	And so were his disciples.
	And so were many of the early Christians.
	You know, for quite a while, we're all Jewish.
	And so just talking about Jesus, though, gets this Jewish attorney to label this as anti-Semitism.
	And it's not just the people there.
	It's not just the Jewish leaders and the Roman leaders and the general population there that was there for Passover.
	Jesus said, I lay down my life.
	No one is taking this from me.
	I'm laying down my own life.
	He laid down his life.
	And the Father... Gave Jesus.
	Gave his life, as illustrated with Abraham.
	So there's all these different aspects of it.
	But of course, we're going to make this about anti-Semitism, right?
	The sad thing is, is that Jamie Foxx is so afraid of being canceled.
	He's so afraid of the culture and the cancel mom that he groveled before this stuff.
	He says, I do not support any form of anti-Semitism.
	I truly don't tolerate hate of any kind, period.
	And I'm sorry, that's not him.
	That was Jennifer Aniston, who was also accused, who accused him with that.
	And so, you know, for once I'd like to log onto this site and not see anti-Semitism.
	Especially from huge celebrities like Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston.
	She says, I don't do that. Leave me alone.
	You have to stop cowering in fear when people attach pejorative labels to us.
	Oh, you're a conspiracy theorist, or this or that.
	You're an anti-vaxxer.
	You're a climate denier.
	You're this or that. And it's like...
	Well, you know, some of those things, I understand how you put those terms together to try to make it a pejorative term, but I don't deny climate, but I deny what you're saying about climate.
	And I don't think that this is a conspiracy because you people have talked about what you're going to do with the World Economic Forum.
	You've said it out loud, but it is a conspiracy.
	The interesting thing I find in all this stuff is that Jamie Foxx has never been required to apologize for any of the racism in Django Unchained.
	It's okay to hate certain groups, as we know.
	Other groups are not okay.
	So no apology for that.
	No apology for that hate and racism in that so-called entertainment.
	And again, he groveled to everybody over this particular thing, which in and of itself...
	It's not an issue. A sex trafficker, we find, took all the girls to Planned Parenthood, says one survivor.
	You know, as everybody is talking about now, because of the sound of freedom, everybody's talking about sex trafficking and all the rest of this stuff, but we've known this for quite some time about Planned Parenthood.
	As we're struggling against the left, who is pushing back, and they are really motivated now to push hard on abortion.
	And many people who are conservatives and Christians are willing to just rest on their laurels.
	That's cool. We got that passed.
	Now, Roe v. Wade is gone.
	All right. We'll take that as a win.
	No, it's not a win. It's going to be a constant fight.
	These people are never going to give up.
	And if you're going to fight them, you need to fight them with the truth and pointing out, as I have for many, many years, that Planned Parenthood has covered up statutory rape, rape of minors, and all the rest of this stuff.
	And as part of that, that also includes human trafficking of young children who are pregnant.
	What can ordinary people do about the trafficking?
	Well, we can talk about Planned Parenthood, right?
	When you look at Sound of Freedom, everybody gets upset about it.
	What do we do about this? Well, kill two birds with one stone.
	Fight human trafficking and abortion by fighting Planned Parenthood.
	No one ever asked me anything, anytime I ever went to a clinic.
	And we've seen this over and over again from Planned Parenthood.
	According to at least three studies, Planned Parenthood is one of the most common clinical settings to which sex traffickers bring their victims.
	Traffickers take the women and the girls that they abuse to Planned Parenthood because according to the survivors, Planned Parenthood does not ask questions.
	There's another huge opportunity for us in terms of defending innocent life and the murders that have become institutionalized, that they want to re-institutionalize in many ways, and that is to talk about what was exposed with Planned Parenthood and with the NIH, people like Fauci, when they were executing babies for their organs.
	Killing them while they were alive.
	As I've explained before, it's necessary for them to kill them while they're alive.
	In the same way, it's necessary for the Chinese Communists to kill their political dissidents while they're alive in order to preserve the quality of the organs that they want to remove and then traffic.
	Trafficking in human organs.
	So think about that. If we were to stand up, for example, David Daleiden has been twisting in the wind for years in California.
	Lala Harris, as Attorney General in California, came after him for recording what these people were talking about in terms of their criminal contracts, murder for hire stuff.
	I want to get a Lamborghini and all the rest of the stuff.
	He was doing an investigation.
	Some of the stuff had already been talked about in Congress, so he had a legitimate way to do this.
	And so, again, Lala Harris made it about him recording them.
	Rather than what they were actually doing.
	And the same way that the airline came after that flight attendant and said, you sent us pictures of an abortion.
	How hideous that is.
	Well, you were promoting abortion.
	This is what you're promoting. And the same thing that Hillary Clinton did, you know, with her Russiagate red herring.
	To say, well, don't look at what I was doing with the classified documents.
	Who was it that exposed all this stuff?
	They must be with Russia.
	That type of thing. So it's very easy for them to redirect attention.
	We need to do the opposite.
	We need to redirect attention to this poor guy, David Daleiden, with the Center for Medical Progress, who's been twisting in the wind for years, fighting this stuff.
	And we need to talk about it.
	I talk about it, but for the most part, people have forgotten him.
	And if you were to talk about that and focus on it, you would show so many things.
	You would show, because it's part of his ordeal, discovery documents show that one of his big customers is Fauci and the NIH and people like that, people that ilk.
	And what were they doing with the organs?
	Well, they were creating humanized mice.
	Another abomination.
	So you're murdering babies that are alive.
	You're using the organs that you extract out of them to create humanized mice and to create genetic code injections for people and the rest of this stuff.
	Planned Parenthood is doing this knowingly and willingly.
	NIH is doing it knowingly and willingly.
	You're identifying these criminals.
	That's a far worse crime than what Rand Paul is so concerned about in Wuhan, frankly.
	Yeah, they're there to create gain of function and it could get out of hand.
	And the good news is that even if they tried to do it, they weren't able to do it this last time.
	But what are they doing right now?
	What is Fauci's people doing?
	They are killing kids.
	Murder for hire. And Planned Parenthood is part of it.
	Expose Planned Parenthood. Expose this corrupt federal government and all the rest of the stuff.
	But no, we're not going to talk about that any more than we're going to talk about what the vaccine is doing to people.
	In the health consequences of sex trafficking and their implications for identifying victims in health care facilities, as a study, researchers found that almost a third of human sex trafficking survivors had been taken to a Planned Parenthood affiliate.
	29.6% of them had been taken there.
	Laura, who said she was so young that she needed a waiver to be examined, spoke about her time on the street Kidnapping her, putting her into prostitution on the street.
	She said, I went to hospitals, urgent care clinics, women's health clinics, and private doctors.
	No one ever asked me anything anytime I ever went to a clinic.
	I was on birth control during the 10 years I was on the streets.
	Mostly Depo-Provera shots, which I got at Planned Parenthood and other neighborhood clinics.
	I got the morning after pill from them as well, she said.
	Another survivor explained she got pregnant six times while being trafficked and had six abortions.
	She said, I had so much scar tissue from these abortions, and in a couple of cases, I had bad infections.
	So bad that I eventually lost my fallopian tubes and had to have a hysterectomy.
	So, if you're upset about Sound of Freedom, you can do something about it.
	Focus on Planned Parenthood.
	If you're upset about Fauci and the rest of the stuff, you can do something about it.
	You can focus on Planned Parenthood.
	You can focus on what they're doing to David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress and his investigation.
	But instead, we're going to focus on things like UFOs.
	And Trump. The decades-long saga of unidentified flying objects is barreling headlong into one of two stunning conclusions.
	This is from an op-ed piece at The Hill.
	And they say either the U.S. government has mounted an extraordinary decades-long cover-up of UFO retrieval and reverse engineering activities.
	That's one possibility. Or elements of the Defense and Intelligence Establishment are engaging in a staggeringly brazen psychological disinformation campaign.
	But they point out that either way, It's going to have profound implications for democracy and the role of government.
	So if they've been lying to us, by the way, they have been lying to us about any number of things.
	It's not just UFOs.
	They're lying to us about everything.
	As the FBI agent said, he got that right.
	He might be kind of naive about the FBI itself.
	But, you know, he had an honest perspective on it.
	I'm sure he worked with other honest people, and that colored his perspective at the agency in a different way than those of us who are on the outside and have looked at the history of Jagger Hoover even before he was able to create that agency.
	But nevertheless... He also worked with CIA people, as he pointed out, you know, they'll lie just because they like to lie.
	They'll lie to the ambassador, they'll lie to anybody, you know, the U.S. ambassador, anybody.
	They're just like loose cannons lined everywhere.
	Well, that's the government all over, right?
	That's the government... In every branch of it, lying.
	There's good people that are there, and they tend to project in the same way we're talking about.
	You just can't imagine, like that pastor I talked about at the beginning of the show, can't imagine that the AUTF would have done the types of things that they did.
	Or good people who have an interaction with Child Protective Services, and I can't imagine that there would be people who would do the types of things that they do.
	And so, you know, we tend to view other people, you know, like that, until we're burned.
	And then once you're burned, it's like, then you start to get really skeptical and cynical about everybody.
	You can flip the other way. That's kind of where I am right now.
	To be honest about it.
	So I said, well, this is going to have big implications for the role of government, the role of democracy.
	People might realize, yeah, the government's just lying to us about everything.
	Or perhaps it might have big, you know, if it is true, humanity's place in the cosmos.
	Well, I don't think so. Because, again, this isn't anything that really conflicts with my understanding or my cosmology of any of this stuff, if true.
	I just understand that it is demonic activity, and I think the deception can be run through the government as partners in all this stuff, or they can do it on their own, against the government, whatever.
	You look at these conspiracies, many times people talk about the bloodlines of the Illuminati and all this other stuff.
	I think this goes on for multiple generations.
	Because it's being done at a supernatural level.
	And they find different people to fill in for them.
	And then, you know, as that person's getting old and passing on, they find somebody else that's going to help them as well.
	This last weekend, I don't know what box office bomb Hollywood's getting ready to drop this weekend.
	I don't track that stuff anymore.
	But this last weekend... Disney dropped The Haunted Mansion.
	What makes them think that people really care?
	You know, they have become so derivative that they not only have done, like, now three or four versions of every one of the Disney classics that Walt Disney did, done in every way.
	First, we'll redo it as an animation, then a computer animation, then we'll redo it with real people and all the rest of this stuff.
	And it's like, how many times are you going to shoot the same thing over and over again?
	You've got no new ideas?
	And now they're even at the point where they're doing that with the rides at Disney World and Disneyland.
	You know, the jungle ride or whatever.
	And they did one about the Haunted Mansion.
	Total bomb.
	Total bomb. But maybe the Haunted Mansion is something of a metaphor for Disney itself, isn't it?
	It's turned into something of a joke, a haunted mansion where the creativity has long since walked away.
	You know, I used to think when I look at the Disney things, I would always hear from Christians, well, you know, there's a lot of occult stuff, even in Walt Disney's stuff.
	Yeah, a lot of magic, the Magic Kingdom and this and that.
	And I used to look at it and think, well, maybe they're being a little bit too critical.
	Maybe they are. Walt Disney was doing it.
	The fantasy aspect allowed him, you know, from picking up on these European folk stories and stuff, allowed him to create a fantasy world that suited the animation stuff and everything.
	But, you know, it's been going on for so long.
	But Disney really has made no question about how dark and occultic it wants to be.
	Even to the extent that, you know, in their desperate lack of creativity and imagination, they're now going back and recycling not only these shows, not only their rides, but they're also going back and now making movies about the various villains and making them into kind of heroes.
	That's where Disney is right now.
	There's absolutely no question that this current Disney is caught up into the occult, into the LGBT stuff and everything else, of course.
	And so as movie guide, Ted Bear, who has movie guide, he said, Disney's Haunted Mansion bombs at the box office due to its occult themes.
	$24.5 million marks one of the lowest starts Among Disney's live-action remakes, and they were not great to start with.
	Reimagining a theme park attraction.
	They made $24.5 million.
	You know, the sound of freedom is now up in the $160 million, whatever.
	And that was a movie that they owned and did not want to release when they bought over the other studio that had produced at Fox.
	It performed worse than the experts expected.
	They predicted that it would at least break $30 million.
	It's struggled to draw in family audiences due to its emphasis on occultism and on unbiblical views of the supernatural.
	And the movie guy, they said the new Haunted Mansion has some funny, exciting, scary moments, but its ghost story lacks any credibility.
	Also, the demonic villain doesn't show up until the second act.
	It's got a strong occult worldview, false occult theology.
	Its ending is one that is so occult that Hollywood would do better if it takes a Christian approach to the supernatural like the movie Nefarious, which I've not seen.
	I'm not recommending that.
	I don't recommend anything that people are putting out in the movies anymore, quite frankly.
	But again, you know, we go back and look at the UFOs.
	They are largely, especially what is happening right now, our viewpoint of all the UFOs.
	That has been a creation of Hollywood and the intelligence community, giving scripts to Hollywood.
	They've been working on this big reveal, whether it is coming from the intelligence community or whether it's coming from the supernatural community.
	They've been working on this thing my entire life, even longer than my entire life.
	We'll be right back. Decoding
	the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Well, we had Mark Twain say everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.
	Those were the good old days. And now they talk about the weather so they can do things and take things from us.
	And so you see this type of thing coming out of CBS News and USA Today.
	Everybody in the mainstream media has got articles that are like this.
	July was the Earth's hottest month ever.
	Ever. No.
	No, and I'll tell you why that's a lie.
	The EU's Climate Service is saying this.
	Other agencies are saying this.
	And they're warning of dire consequences.
	Well, again, you know, when you look at this, temperatures in Austin, for example.
	You know, when we were there... They're on this streak of triple-digit days of temperature still going.
	And it was very hot when we were there.
	And it's something of a long streak.
	But, of course, they don't have records going back all that long, really.
	And yet, even just a year ago, when you look at the weather, when we moved in May of 2022, it was over 100 degrees every day in May.
	Now, this year it wasn't like that.
	This year it was quite a bit cooler.
	And so, is this climate change?
	Is this ramping up?
	Is this a ratcheting effect?
	And just in the last couple of days, Karen and I were comparing temperatures, again, going back and looking at what is happening, in the places where we've lived in North Carolina, here in Tennessee and in Texas.
	And I said, yeah, look, it's going to be such and such a temperature.
	And she said, well, my app says this.
	We started comparing temperatures different places.
	And they were off one, two, as much as four degrees.
	And that was the current temperature.
	So where's that coming from?
	I'm sure that every one of these apps, every one of these weather services, has got a thermometer somewhere.
	You know, they're not just making this stuff up.
	They're getting a reading off of a thermometer.
	But you know, you go to a town and tell me the temperature in Raleigh or something.
	And one website or one app has got a thermometer in one place in Raleigh and another one's got it somewhere else.
	And they're getting a temperature variation of several degrees.
	And we're told that if you have a temperature variation of just one and a half degrees centigrade, that the entire planet's going to die.
	And yet we're looking at Four degrees Fahrenheit difference over a city or so.
	It has a great deal to do with where they put the thermometers, doesn't it?
	Obviously. Some of the thermometers are going to be on airport tarmacs and others are going to be in different places.
	And there's a thing called the urban heat island phenomenon.
	And so this is what is being milked by the media and by governments in order to take everything from you.
	They're all talking about the weather.
	They want to do something to you, not about the weather.
	Of course, they are doing things about the weather as well.
	They're doing geoengineering as well.
	But, you know, they've got to take your car.
	They've got to take your barbecue grill.
	They've got to take your air conditioning and heating.
	And this is the way they'll typically put it in the mainstream media.
	July's sizzling numbers are all in.
	And it's official. Ha!
	It's sizzling in its official, and we're boiling.
	July 2023 was Earth's hottest month on record, and by a wide margin.
	July's global average temperature of 62.5 degrees Fahrenheit was six-tenths of a degree higher than the previous record set in 2019.
	Again, where did these come from?
	Are we allowed to know? Will they show you their data?
	Will they talk about how long is their record?
	Oh, this is something that's a new record.
	Well, how long is your record? You know, we haven't been taking temperature measurements all over the world for very long.
	As a matter of fact, they don't even today take temperature records all over the world.
	That's why we had that situation not too long ago where they said, look at this, we had a jump of like 40 degrees at both of the poles.
	Oh, really? Turns out they don't have any temperature measurement stuff there.
	They had a model, and the model flubbed.
	So it jumped by 50 degrees.
	I said, this is, when I saw it, this is not possible.
	You couldn't jump by 50 degrees at the pole and, you know, not affect the weather in other places.
	And they admitted, you know, it went up for 50 degrees for a day or two and then it went back to normal again.
	So is this based on your computer model?
	Is this actually a thermometer?
	Is it satellite data?
	Where are the thermometers placed?
	How extensive are the measurements?
	Where are the locations? Normally, global temperature records are broken by hundredths or by a tenth of a degree.
	So this wide margin is unusual.
	Well, these are the people who will fight like demons in order to hide their data about climate, just as they did about COVID. And they cannot be trusted with any of this stuff.
	These records have dire consequences for both people and planet.
	Says CBS. Exposed to ever more frequent and intense extreme events.
	Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
	Anthropogenic are the main driver of these rising temperatures.
	Now here's another assertion that is separate from whether or not there is warming.
	And that is what is causing it.
	Oh, well, they're certain that it's your car.
	And your gas range.
	We are in uncharted territory, and we're going to expect more records to fall, said Director of Climate Services.
	And, of course, that's what he gets paid to say.
	So they say, well, this is really serious.
	You know, we've got climate records, Copernicus, this database, its records go back to 1940.
	Seriously? You're going to discount all the other ways that we have of measuring temperature, even the ice cores that they take in Antarctica, showing that the temperature was significantly higher several thousand years ago.
	And these are people who tell us that the world is billions of years old, but they've got temperature records going back to 1940.
	And they don't want to look at the ice cores.
	They go back thousands of years.
	And it's organizations like the Imperial College of London that fed us that garbage at the beginning of the lockdown in March.
	Now, these are the self-serving liars of academia that are putting all of this stuff out.
	And there was a very interesting article that we're going to get to here.
	Actually, not an article, but a report by John Stossel.
	We interviewed one of these people who woke up to everything that was happening.
	She was a climate scientist and she woke up to all this stuff when ClimateGate happened.
	But again, the alarmism, you know, extreme, hellish, boiling, deadly.
	Thank you.
	As an Epoch Times article said, these words and then some are being used by politicians and media to describe this summer.
	A stark reminder of the urgent need for collective action.
	To address climate change.
	Yes, we need a collectivist economic society and a complete overthrow of society.
	And take everything from you, you know, because of what I'm telling you about the measurements here.
	Phoenix, Arizona did have a particularly hot July with preliminary data showing an average high temperature of 114 degrees.
	The average high temperature from 1991 to 2020 was 106 degrees.
	Again, what does this mean? Do you think the sun has something to do with our temperature?
	Do you think the sun varies in intensity?
	We know that it goes through solar cycles.
	Let's not even talk about that, right?
	The temperature readings were recorded at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on the tarmac in the sun.
	And I've said many times, you know, when we'd be in Raleigh, not even a big town, Raleigh, and we'd look at the temperature on our car, you know, thermometer, and then drive out into the woods where we lived, typically we'd see about a four degree drop.
	So where are you going to put your temperature?
	And these are people telling us that the entire world is going to die if we have a one and a half degree difference.
	And they're saying, well, we got about a, you know, what was it?
	A few tenths of a degree change this year?
	And they're freaking out.
	Houston, Texas experienced 10 degree higher than average temperatures in July.
	The station located in Houston International Airport.
	Recorded an average daily temperature of 97.7.
	Still, in rural towns like Water Valley, the temperature swings were nowhere near as extreme.
	Their average July temperature there was 99.8 degrees compared to its prior average of 97 degrees.
	Maybe they don't have an airport.
	Ever think about that?
	As a matter of fact, when we were in Texas, we were looking at what it was saying was the current temperature, and then I was looking at the temperature that was on the car.
	It wasn't the same, because they were probably taking their temperature at the airport.
	For the U.S.'s whole, the last 10 years have produced only an average number of records.
	The 1930s are still the champs for producing the most 100-plus temperature days in a year.
	And that was a period of time when we really did have climate change, and then the climate changed again.
	That was when we had the Dust Bowl.
	Areas of, and this is important, listen to this about the urban heat islands.
	It's not just the airport tarmacs and locating the thermometers there.
	Areas of high population and infrastructure experience higher temperatures, which in turn influence large-scale area average temperatures because most of these are located where people live and where they work, said a climatologist, a former NASA scientist, now a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
	He calls it the urban heat island.
	He says, as we progress to higher population stations, we find that urban heat island warming effect becomes larger.
	And so if we're seeing an overall increase, it may be because of the urban heat island issue, plus where they locate the thermometers.
	But again, everybody is focusing on the bigger cities, and the bigger cities are getting hotter.
	A time somewhere in the city, as a loving spoonful used to say.
	If you believe the consensus climate scientists, then the urban heat island effect doesn't really amount to much.
	But in fact, it does.
	And even fairly small places with asphalt will experience that effect, especially on airport tarmacs where they're making their measurements.
	To get a more accurate reading, Of the Earth's fluctuating surface temperatures in general.
	Mr. Spencer and another scientist, Christie, developed a global temperature data set from microwave data observed from satellites.
	They started their project in 1989, and they analyzed data going back to 1979.
	With global coverage by the satellites, we could compute the true globally averaged air temperature.
	And in 1991, they were awarded by NASA a Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement for their work.
	That's why there's a big difference between these reported thermometers by the apps and by these other people, in addition, the difference between that and the satellite data.
	It's hot in some places and not in others.
	Globally, the temperatures continue to creep upward, but note that the 19th century was one of the coldest in the last 10,000 years.
	And if you look at ClimateGate, they knew that.
	And they were talking specifically about that.
	We've got to hide this decline.
	Let's start a different time.
	Let's cherry pick where we're going to begin and end.
	And of course, you know, administrations do that all the time.
	We saw Biden doing that with the price of gasoline.
	Let's talk about the price of gasoline versus six months ago or a year ago.
	Instead of where it was two years ago.
	That type of thing. Here's John Stosselin.
	If he gets this report... And look at this.
	This is about the climate, but it is as disgusting and clownish as the dancing hypodermic needles that Stephen Colbert was doing.
	This is John Oliver talking about science.
	He is the court jester of these other clowns.
	I'm going to bring out two people who agree with you, climate skeptic.
	I'm also going to bring out 96 other scientists...
	The smug media mock so-called skeptics.
	What is the overwhelming view of the entire scientific community?
	Okay, okay.
	Any response to that? Any response?
	I can't, I can't hear you.
	What a disgusting display.
	The consensus is so strong, there shouldn't even be a debate.
	This whole debate should not have happened.
	Climate alarmists claim there's an overwhelming scientific consensus.
	But it's a manufactured consensus.
	Researcher Judith Curry says climate scientists have an incentive to exaggerate risk.
	Why? What's in it for them?
	Fame and fortune. She knows about that because she once spread alarm about climate change.
	And the media loved her when she published this study saying there was an increase in hurricane intensity.
	We found that the percent of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes Had doubled.
	Really? Doubled?
	And so this was picked up by the media.
	Alarmists said, oh, here's the way to do it.
	It being, get the public alarmed.
	Climate change is making hurricanes stronger and more destructive.
	Tie extreme weather events to global warming.
	So this hysteria is your fault?
	Well, sort of. Not really.
	They would have picked up on it anyways.
	But Curry's more intense hurricanes gave them fuel.
	I was adopted by the environmental advocacy groups and the alarmists and I was treated like a rock star.
	What does that mean, treated like a rock star?
	Oh my god, I was flown all over the place to meet with politicians and give these talks and lots of media attention.
	But then some researchers pointed out gaps in her research, years with low levels of hurricanes.
	So like a good scientist, I went in and investigated all that stuff.
	She realized her critics were right.
	Part of it was bad David.
	Part of it is natural climate variability.
	So you're the unusual researcher who looks at criticism of your paper.
	And actually concluded they had a point.
	They had a point, for sure.
	Then the ClimateGate scandal taught Curry that many researchers aren't so open-minded.
	Leaked emails showed university climate scientists conspiring to hide data.
	It showed a lot of really ugly things.
	Avoiding Freedom of Information Act requests.
	Trying to get journal editors fired from their job.
	One email read, if you think this Yale professor is in the skeptics camp, get him ousted.
	Seeing emails like that made Curry realize that climate change fanatics had corrupted the science because there's a climate change industry set up to reward alarmism.
	The origins go back to the 1980s and the UN environmental program Yeah.
	Pretty amazing, isn't it?
	And, of course, I got involved with the ClimateGate stuff as well, seeing Michael Mann, who went to the mat, too.
	To hide his lies, to hide his data, and all the rest of the stuff.
	On Rumble, RCF 2020, thank you very much for the tip.
	And thank you for the quote.
	This is a great quote. He says, well, no, our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.
	And that was by William Casey, CIA director.
	He said that in 1981.
	By the way, that was the guy who masterminded the Iran-Contra stuff.
	The guy who got Ronald Reagan elected and all the rest of this.
	Yeah, Bill Casey. Wild Bill Casey.
	And it looks like, you know, their disinformation program is getting pretty close to being completed, doesn't it?
	It seems like almost everything we know is false.
	As a matter of fact, it's kind of interesting to see even the mainstream media is talking about solar activity being higher than usual.
	Nobody's going to connect the dots to that, I'm sure, though.
	The solar flare knocks out radio across the U.S., and it won't be the last time.
	The sun has been very active lately, sending out scorching flares and frying communication systems back on Earth.
	Is it boiling us?
	Yeah. The latest one was recorded on Monday when an X-class solar flare disrupted radio and navigation signals across North America.
	It was the 20th X flare of the current 11-year solar cycle.
	You see, they understand the sun goes through cycles.
	They understand that we're in a high cycle.
	They understand these things about heat islands and variations in terms of data.
	As a matter of fact, they talk to each other about how they can hide the data.
	They talk to each other about how they can destroy anybody that pushes back against their narrative, and we've seen this with the COVID MacGuffin as well.
	That's the standard way that they operate.
	The sun has seen a flurry of activity on its surface this year.
	Multiple coronal holes on our star.
	But they will take things like, for example, the Maui wildfires.
	That will, of course, be used to talk about our SUVs having to be taken away, having to be banned from us.
	You just wait. They haven't started talking about it yet, but they will.
	Oh, any extreme event, anything that's bad, that is absolutely because of your range and your oven and the rest of this.
	Steve Malloy, junk science, said, well, here's some points.
	He said, Antarctic sea ice volume is the same as it was in 1980.
	Antarctica has not warmed in 70 years.
	There is no long-term trend in Antarctic sea ice extent.
	Most Antarctic sea ice is thin and easily moved around by the wind.
	We don't really understand much of the natural world, so we should avoid jumping to rash and politicized conclusions of climate alarmists.
	He said that in response to a Reuters article.
	Dr. Eli David said, here's a picture of Italy.
	A snowstorm in the mountains with the lowest temperature on record in mid-July.
	And we supposedly have global boiling.
	Yeah. Yeah, that's mid-July in Italy.
	Okay. Yeah. Again, if it is global warming, we're not seeing that everywhere.
	We're seeing differences of weather.
	And the Washington Post says this is the hottest July we've had in 125,000 years.
	Now, that is not only a lie, but it is an absurd lie.
	As I point out, we've only been collecting data since 1979.
	So, you don't even have reliable records going back 100 years, let alone 125,000 years.
	And if you look at the cores, which they tried to get an example of that, in the Antarctic, you would see that we're not even close to what the temperature used to be a few thousand years ago.
	It's not possible to claim that July was the hottest month in the history of civilization.
	The That kind of data doesn't exist.
	Even the notion of an average global temperature is a doubtful proposition.
	Whether you believe the high end of the average global temperature, which is 62.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or the low end, which is 57.5 degrees.
	Do you notice the difference there?
	We've got a 5 degree difference.
	And this is coming from, just as I said before, you know, different apps give us different things.
	Well, even when they do the global temperature, they get two different sets of data, and they differ by five degrees.
	And if we actually had warming of one and a half degrees, according to their theories, we would all be dying as the polar ice caps melted.
	So again, the same kind of variation we get out of contemporaneous temperatures from apps, they're seeing that as well.
	And so John Stossel in his article is talking about the government-funded climate alarmism complex.
	And it really is.
	And it really is disgusting to see John Oliver.
	I don't watch him.
	So, you know, he's probably that disgusting every night.
	But when you look at what he's done and what Stephen Colbert has done in terms of pushing these MacGuffins, they're not even clever satire.
	It's cringe satire.
	She said, as you heard, that the climate gate had activated her.
	Well, that makes two of us. When I saw that, I could not unsee it.
	And yet, Biden goes on with the Weather Channel, the guy who founded the Weather Channel, one of the biggest climate skeptics you'll ever see because he really didn't understand the weather.
	And so Biden goes on with the Weather Channel to tell them that for all practical purposes, he has already declared a climate emergency.
	Yeah, he should be very concerned.
	Thank you for joining us.
