	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	it's the 21st of August, year of our Lord, 2023.
	Well, today we're going to talk more about the Hawaii fires.
	We've had a lot of people who have been contacting me on every side of this issue, and it seems to be that the issue with most people is directed energy weapons, not the agenda behind it.
	And so I want to explain where I am on this.
	And I want to ask the question, what do we want as a resolution of this?
	What should it look like on the other side?
	Is it going to help us to focus on directed energy weapons?
	Did it help us to focus on Dominion voting machines in 2020?
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, as I said, I've had a lot of letters, and I'm going to begin with some of the letters and some of the questions and comments that people have.
	And I appreciate very much their concern and we should all be concerned about this.
	I think the key thing is, do we want our homes, our areas to burn?
	And do we want the government to be able to literally burn us out of where we are, confiscate our property, push us into their smart cities or their 15-minute cities or whatever the Republican or Trump version of this is, however they want to spin this and relabel it, it's the same thing that we see happening everywhere.
	And so how do we stop that?
	Directed energy weapons have been around for a long time.
	And as I've also said, we make a mistake frequently because we don't realize just how much evil the people in power are capable of.
	And we underestimate their technological weapons that they use against us.
	But there's something else that is involved here, I think.
	And so I got a letter from Felicia.
	Let me begin with that. She wrote me a very long letter.
	She's very passionate about the directed energy weapons issue and wanted me to focus more on that.
	So I will. She said, Hi, I've been listening to your show for years now.
	I was surprised you didn't give more credence to concerns about directed energy weapons regarding the fires in Maui.
	You seem so quick to dismiss it.
	There was a report that I saw on video where a resident was saying frantically that she saw fire coming up out of the ground.
	There was also a report that showed residents tried to use hoses to put out the fires, and the water had been shut off.
	Now, those are two separate issues.
	And if you have downed power lines that are causing the fire, you would see the fire coming up out of the ground.
	Let me just insert that there.
	And the fact that the water has been shut off, they kept the electricity flowing, and they shut off the water.
	Exactly the opposite of what should have been done.
	And so, there's a lot of different issues here.
	And I've tried to focus more on the criminal neglect issue.
	Or the malicious criminal acts, depending on how you want to see this.
	Either way, we should focus on punishing and removing these people who were in charge, number one.
	Number two, we've got to protect people's property.
	And that's why I haven't focused on the directed energy weapons.
	I feel that as a distraction.
	But let me go on with what she has to say.
	She says, I live in California in a high-fire zone.
	There's a lot of suspicious activity surrounding these fires in California and the insurance companies and all that.
	And I was even contacted by my insurance company, lowering my coverage just two months before the last fire in September in Riverside County.
	I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
	Well, I am. I'm happy to be a conspiracy theorist.
	As far as I'm concerned, that is also called an investigation.
	If you investigate what these people are saying, if you question authority, that's what they call a conspiracy theorist.
	And so I'm proud to be a conspiracy theorist by their label.
	They use those labels.
	I don't like taking their labels, but I don't run from that either.
	It's not going to intimidate me.
	They charge everybody with everything, as I've said, everything is a conspiracy.
	Every crime they charge somebody, if they can find somebody else who's even tangentially associated with it, it's a conspiracy.
	And so as far as I'm concerned, this Maui fire is a conspiracy.
	You've got a lot of people who obviously knew about this, did nothing about it, did all of the exactly wrong things.
	So again, as I said, whether this is negligence or malicious acts, The conspiracy, in a sense.
	She says, but as soon as I saw the Maui fires, I knew that something was off.
	I respect you so much, but I don't understand why you don't get upset if someone thinks the government is using directed energy weapons.
	I get why you don't like Mike Adams, trust me, but that doesn't mean that if he happens to say something, that it may turn out to be true, and we just throw it out.
	Again, I don't...
	I don't support the idea that entire news organizations ought to be banned and that we never look at anything that anybody has to say.
	That's what the government does.
	That's what Microsoft does with NewsGuard, right?
	But of course, you know, they don't ban the New York Times and the Washington Post and CNN because of their false Russiagate conspiracies.
	No, that doesn't apply to anything.
	And I could go on and on with other examples.
	But they don't look at things on an article-by-article basis.
	They look at them on, well, I don't, you know, these people are dangerous with what they had to say because they oppose the government's official story.
	So they're banned. Whatever we're talking about, whether it's the election, whether it's a pandemic or the vaccine or anything else like that.
	And look, just like a broken clock, Mike Adams can be right twice a day.
	I'll give him back. My concern with Mike Adams, my concern was to Peters and with Infowars in general.
	As they become tabloid wars, they always seize on the most sensational aspect of the story, and that can keep us from seeing what is really happening.
	And they focus on something, they make extraordinary claims, and they don't have the evidence.
	And we've seen this happening with 2020, the election, the pandemic, all these other things.
	Oh yeah, we gotta, you know, still focus on Wuhan, the lab in Wuhan.
	Let's not focus on what Trump did.
	Let's not focus on what Biden did.
	Let's focus on the lab.
	And oh, by the way, we don't have to shut down any other labs that are doing gain-of-function stuff.
	We won't talk about gain-of-function in general.
	We'll talk about Wuhan and China and Fauci because that's our political agenda.
	We want to demonize Fauci, demonize China, so let's talk about the lab.
	And in the spring of 2020, they wanted to scare you to death.
	So they talked about the lab.
	Turns out, it wasn't a problem that time.
	But they don't want to shut down any of these gain-of-function labs.
	And that is a big problem, and that is a big warning as to what's going on with this.
	So again, we want to focus, don't we, on the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
	So if we narrowly focus on directed energy weapons, is that a problem?
	I think it is. Because it doesn't give you the whole truth of the Agenda 2030 issue and what is happening in public lands based on environmentalism as a religion.
	Don't touch the land.
	It's sacred. Leave the stuff there to rot and turn into giant fuel canisters.
	So whenever a fire starts, whether it's natural or arson, and guess what?
	Most fires are started by arson.
	And it doesn't have to be directed energy weapons.
	Only you can prevent forest fires, right?
	I mean, it could be anything.
	But when people are not just carelessly throwing a cigarette out as they used to run these public service ads.
	We've got videos of people doing this in Italy and in Greece and in other places.
	We know that it's arson. What is their motive?
	Well, you know, that might be interesting for the people trying to catch them and prevent it.
	But we need to be focused...
	Not on the arsonists. Whether the arsonists are the Pentagon or some migrant that's come in that hates this country now.
	Or whether it is somebody who's trying to burn us all down, burn us out so they can take our land as part of a 2030 agenda.
	We need to focus. Let law enforcement go after the arsonists, if you will.
	But more pressing to me...
	It's why you can't put the fires out.
	And that's what I'm going to continue to focus on.
	I'm going to continue to focus on that more than because I can't do the investigation.
	I don't have the capability to find out who it was that lit a fire somewhere.
	We see the pictures. I've shown you the pictures of things like that happening in Europe.
	A drone caught a guy on a motorcycle just going along starting one fire after the other.
	Who was he working? Was he independent on his own?
	An independent terrorist? Was he working for the government trying to create chaos?
	I don't know. I don't have the resources to investigate that in Italy or in California or in Hawaii or other places.
	But I do know this, that it is a set policy, and we've seen this happen everywhere, from here in the Smoky Mountains to the Canadian Rockies and other parts of Canada to California to Hawaii.
	We've seen over and over again, and I've talked about this over and over again, that the way that they are doing land management, or I should say mismanagement, It's responsible for these fires that we can't put out, regardless of how they started.
	And so, the first thing that needs to be done is we need to remove these people in office.
	Who did these things?
	People who impeded the evacuation of people, as we've got reports that the police are doing it.
	That's true. They need to be removed.
	They need to be punished.
	And not just removed from office.
	They should be punished.
	But at the very least, remove them from office.
	If you've got people who were warned a decade ago about the fire condition hazards and did nothing to clean up the underbrush, remove them.
	Remove them. If you've got a power company that didn't turn the power off when fires started, remove them.
	It doesn't matter how the fire started.
	It appears that the fire started with them, and they didn't remove that.
	I'm going to focus today on tomorrow's fires.
	And what's going to happen if we don't do something about this?
	And there's something much bigger that's brewing here than directed energy weapons.
	And it's these mega storage facilities that go hand in glove with the solar power and wind renewables, as they like to call them.
	And you create these massive power stations.
	And there's one of them being created right here in Tennessee, eastern Tennessee, not too far from where we live.
	It's one of many sites that are going to be put in by the TVA. A massive number of sites because the TVA has decided that they want to shut down our functional fuels, which they call fossil fuels.
	They're functioning. They're paid for.
	They're operating. And they want to come and they want to shut them down, put some new technology in that's a lot more expensive so the rich people can get richer.
	And then you've got to buy batteries which are sold by the world's richest man, Elon Musk, the Tesla batteries.
	And these massive battery stations that are going to be storing this intermittent power from the solar and wind generators are a gigantic fire hazard.
	And it's not just here in Tennessee.
	We've had fires in California.
	We've had fires in New York.
	We've had fires in the EU. We've had fires in Arizona.
	All these other places.
	And when they start, you have a runaway battery fire, right?
	This is much bigger than a Tesla that catches fire and they can't put it out.
	This is a massive power station thing.
	You want to talk about how they're going to burn us down, burn us out, burn this country down, and burn us out of our homes?
	That's something you should look at.
	At the very least, they're going to make our energy more expensive.
	We don't need these things.
	It's a massive fire hazard.
	You want to talk about regulatory capture?
	You want to talk about bribing local officials?
	It's all there. And I'm going to talk about it, the examples that we've seen already in this country, what is happening here in Tennessee, what has happened in New York, what has happened in California and these other places where they're putting this stuff in.
	We need to talk about tomorrow's fires today.
	And we're going to do that.
	But let's talk about the directed energy weapon issues and stuff like that.
	Like I said, we need the whole truth about what is happening here.
	It's a much bigger agenda than directed energy weapons.
	You know, a battery station like that, it's got over a million cells in it.
	One cell went out in Arizona, created a runaway fire.
	Look at how they scaled up.
	They've done nothing to stop lithium battery fire risk.
	And they've scaled it up from your cell phone, to cars, to buses, to trucks, and now to entire power grid.
	This will be much worse.
	Than a situation where you've got power lines running right through the brush, as we saw in Hawaii.
	So, this is from Art.
	KWD68 says, Well, it could be directed at energy weapons, or it could be diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
	They are fueled by Deadwood from mismanagement and set intentionally, in my opinion.
	That's right. And so there's two separate issues here.
	You know, we can have an arson investigation.
	We should have an arson investigation.
	And I'm not saying I don't believe in directed energy weapons.
	I know they exist. But the question is, why don't we go for the simplest explanation?
	If the government wants to burn everything down, they don't need a directed energy weapon.
	They can get a guy on a motorcycle to start setting fire.
	Or if another country doesn't like us, right?
	What if Russia wanted to burn down massive areas, or China, or whatever, somebody that we're in opposition to?
	It's really our own government that wants our land, more so than Russia or China.
	Well, maybe China wants it as much.
	But nevertheless, the bottom line is, who started the fire?
	But why can't you put it out?
	That's the issue. And what is it that they're trying to accomplish with the fire?
	And how do we stop that?
	And how do we stop the government from creating even more fire risks?
	New fire risks that we have never faced before.
	So he says...
	Yeah, Freedom Cities would help us out of this, wouldn't they?
	Maybe FEMA will buy Maui.
	Yeah, that's what Trump is saying.
	Federal land, and we can let you live on the federal land.
	And look, going back to the Bundy Ranch thing, who was it that was causing all the problems?
	The Bureau of Land Management, that BLM. And they were not doing anything to manage the land.
	They were pushing people off of the land.
	And the reason they were doing that It was because they wanted to sell mineral resources to foreign governments or domestic multinational corporations or whatever.
	And you know that these politicians who are doing this are getting a kickback, right?
	But they want to sell the resources to them, and they want to concentrate us into a 21st century American Indian reservation.
	That's what these smart cities are.
	And so that's what we need to oppose.
	We've got to oppose the smart cities.
	We've got to oppose these measures.
	And we've got to oppose...
	The arson begins when you stick the containers of fuel everywhere, right?
	If somebody came to my house and started putting in containers of linseed oil and stacking rags over them, I would assume that they wanted to burn my house down at some point in time.
	That's what they're doing in the forests with land management, mismanagement.
	Ryan Olson, thank you very much for the tip.
	Thank you. And he says thank you.
	Well, thank you, Ryan. He says, thank you for all you're doing, brother.
	Keep speaking truth and representing our Lord Jesus so well.
	You're the man. Well, thank you.
	Hope this helps a little.
	You know, that's the thing. I talk about this because there's a lot of really bad news.
	I have to do this for my own personal benefit, quite frankly.
	I can't look into the abyss of what these people have planned.
	Without understanding, number one, God is above all of this.
	And as the nations rage and make their plots against us and against the Lord and His anointed, God in heaven laughs.
	He is the one who is in charge.
	I'm not at the mercy of DARPA. I'm not at the mercy of Trump or Biden.
	I'm not at the mercy of any of these people.
	God transcends that.
	And even if they kill me, then God transcends that as well.
	And so that's what I have to do when I look at this news.
	This is why I talk about it all the time.
	I couldn't do this job and look at how dark They have set this up.
	That would drive me into severe depression if I didn't have God.
	And I wouldn't even want to do this job.
	It's the only way I can look at this stuff is to understand the bigger picture here.
	And so that's what we need to look at.
	We need to look at the bigger picture here with Maui.
	I know it was horrific.
	I know a lot of lives have been lost.
	And, you know, who knows?
	They're at about 100 people. And I haven't seen the body count go.
	It's gone up to, I think, 110.
	They haven't said, when it was about 94, they said, we've only looked at 3% of the area with cadaver dogs.
	So, I mean, we could be looking at, you know, over 3,000 deaths if that density of deaths continued.
	I have no idea where this is going to end up.
	It is a massive tragedy.
	But it's also a tragedy if we let them use this.
	And that's what I said about 9-11.
	It took me, because we didn't have video, and we didn't have news.
	We didn't have any reception where we lived.
	And I was happy not to have TV news.
	And it took me a year or more to see how those buildings collapsed.
	I was getting reports on the phone, you know, from relatives who are in New York.
	Karen had a cousin who was in building one of the buildings there that collapsed.
	The World Trade Center worked there.
	And so we're getting, you know, messages from them and from some other relatives.
	And I remember when they said it collapsed, I thought, oh, wow, it's going to wipe out all of Manhattan, you know, falling over or something.
	I said, no, it just collapsed.
	It went straight down. It's like, really?
	It's kind of strange. And then when I saw it later on, I realized that's not natural.
	That had to be controlled.
	But in the interim, what I was saying when I didn't know exactly what brought the, you know, I didn't know that it was, in my opinion, an inside job, directly, deliberately done.
	I was saying, don't let them use this.
	Don't let them use this to create a police state.
	Which is what Homeland Security and TSA and all the rest of this stuff was about.
	You can see where it was headed.
	You can see where they were going to use it.
	If it had been, even the narrative, even if the government's official narrative had been possible, and that's the key thing, not possible.
	Even if that had been possible, it was being misused.
	And so that's the key thing.
	Brian Taylor, the governor of Maui, said soon there will be fires all across America.
	Yeah, I've got that here.
	Health Impact News coverage seems a bit suspicious if these fires are natural.
	Steve Swan, remove the culpable actors from office and the globalists will put somebody else in office.
	That's why we have to say that we're not...
	The key thing is for people to understand what the agenda is.
	And that's what I want people to focus on.
	I want them to see what they're doing.
	Quite frankly, just as with the election and Dominion voting machines, I see the focus on directed energy weapons as a misdirection away from the bigger, more important central issues with this.
	You know, we talk about the election, right?
	I had said for years. As a matter of fact, I had pointed out the fact they had Voting Village at DEF CON and Black Hat conferences in Las Vegas where they have the cyber hacking, you know, the official one and then the other unofficial one that happens a week apart in Las Vegas every year.
	And I talked about how easy it was for them to hack voting machines and all this other stuff, and it wasn't even just that.
	You know, years earlier, you know, around the early 2000s, You can see old video of old computers and old voting machines, and you got a professor to college and his software students there, and they take over the voting machine, and the local news filmed it.
	It shows how easy it is.
	Look, yeah, we can change all the votes how we want them to go and then erase all evidence of it having been there.
	So, you know, the investigation that was done after the election of any voting machines was ludicrous in the extreme.
	You're not going to find anything like that.
	20 years before that, they were, you know, they had software at a community college that a software engineering professor and his students did.
	So that was always a risk, a big risk.
	And it was always a risk in terms of corrupting election.
	The fact that we only have two political parties that control the whole process.
	And they control who gets on the ballot.
	And they make it virtually impossible for any independents or third party candidates.
	They make it impossible to have debates, for example.
	And then you have the extended voting period times.
	You have the slack purging of, you know, no voter ID. We have to show your picture or anything like that.
	That's what we saw in North Carolina.
	Not taking dead people off the rolls.
	On and on and on. I talked about so many different things.
	And then Trump added a brand new grift.
	A brand new way to steal the elections with his lockdown.
	And we're going to mail all the ballots out to everybody.
	And people were getting multiple ballots from multiple jurisdictions.
	He added that.
	And then what did they do?
	They ignore everything pretty much and focus on electronic voting machines and one, maybe two vendors, right?
	Stupid. And it was misdirection, quite frankly.
	And I don't want to see that happening with these fires.
	We have to understand what the bigger agenda is.
	We have to understand how this is a multi-pronged attack on us.
	And the first thing is people need to understand that.
	But they want to talk about directed energy weapons instead of the agenda.
	That's my concern about the directed.
	And that's why I criticize Mike Adams and Stu Peters and places like Infowars that will always seize on the sensational stuff.
	Um... KWD68 about the battery station thing says electric school buses.
	That's scary. Students won't have time to get off the bus.
	Yes, I've said that. A good example of that is a guy who was in a Tesla.
	He's driving along and there's some metal debris on the road and it kicks up and hits underneath his car.
	Damages the battery. A fire starts.
	It pulls over and gets out. He barely got out in time.
	And he said, if I had been here, if my family had been in the car with me, we wouldn't have been able to get the kids out of the car seats.
	We probably would have all died.
	That's what's going to happen with electric school buses.
	Fortunately, their pet project there, like most of these green projects, went belly up and went bankrupt.
	But there'll be others selling these buses to us at a million dollars apiece.
	I believe that was the price.
	I'm not exaggerating. Think about how much that's going to cost us.
	And that's exactly what we're looking at with these power stations.
	You've got to buy expensive solar power.
	You've got to buy expensive windmill power.
	It can't deliver the power steady state, so let's buy an expensive battery pack from Tesla.
	And now you understand part of the reason why Musk got Twitter.
	Because he knows that the opposition is going to be mainly coming from conservatives who don't buy into the climate alarmism.
	And so he buys Twitter and becomes a free speech savior to everybody.
	That's how he's positioning himself.
	Well, that narrative is collapsing as we look, and we'll talk about that coming up as well.
	What's happening with Twitter?
	X. X free speech.
	That's what it really is about.
	It's the same thing they did with Trump.
	Let's get some guy in, and he's going to talk about globalism, the global agenda.
	And he's going to be Mr.
	Anti-Globalist. And we're going to send him to Davos, and publicly he will harangue them.
	But then behind closed doors, Steve Mnuchin and his daughter, and who knows, perhaps Trump as well, to make cutting deals with these guys.
	And he does everything that they want.
	Everything that they want.
	And that's going to happen with Elon Musk as well.
	He's going to do everything these people want.
	But he's now established his reputation.
	It's going to be hard to get people to question it now.
	This transhumanist, globalist technocrat is now our champion to fight the globalist censorship.
	Yeah, right. Same game.
	They play it over and over again.
	About the battery station thing.
	Narrow Way Narrow Ministries says Tennessee will learn the hard lesson Texas had to learn.
	Yeah. We suffered with that winter storm because relying on wind and solar and it's going to happen again.
	ERCOT is wicked as is the agenda.
	Yeah, in Texas you got the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, ERCOT. Why we lost all the power there.
	Yeah, we went through that. We did a show with lights out.
	Yeah. We still had cell phone coverage, but we had no power, so we did it on the cell phone with candlelight, you know, when we lost that.
	And then we had, in the middle of the show, we had a pipe burst in the kitchen.
	And so, you know, Travis and my wife and my other son are running around trying to stop the water, and I'm trying to read the news by candlelight over a cell phone transmission.
	It was, thank you, Texas, and that was a great job of managing the infrastructure.
	Managing it right into the ground.
	And when I first went to Austin, they were shutting down power plants left and right.
	They were working. Functional fuel power plants.
	Functional fuel. It's not fossil fuel.
	It's functional fuel.
	There's a shortage of...
	I've heard all of my life, fossil fuels, there's only so much oil on the ground, we're going to run out of this, it's a temporary...
	They don't even bother to say that anymore.
	Now they've got a new lie to tell you.
	Oh, well, you know, carbon dioxide is going to kill us all, but China can make as many of them as they want, and so can India.
	And the two most populated countries can build as many and as dirty of power plants as they want.
	They don't believe any of this stuff.
	You shouldn't believe it either. But that's how they're running this.
	He says, direct-to-energy weapons have a fear factor that a motorcyclist lighting a match does not have.
	The frequency of directed energy weapons is increasing because the fear says we can touch you no matter where you are.
	Yeah, that's the idea.
	But, you know, that's, again, they operate on fear, they operate on sensationalism.
	And another part of it is that, you know, everybody wants to talk about directed energy weapons.
	And, you know, because it's the UFO factor.
	It's the X-Files factor.
	It's the audience factor.
	It's their business model.
	You want to focus on the truth, the whole truth that's relevant, and nothing but the truth.
	The other thing is, is that there's a deliberate campaign by the government, by the CIA. One of their disinformation campaigns, the most effective one, is not to cancel people, not even to shadow ban people.
	But to add a sensational detail to a true story and then later debunk that sensational detail.
	That's the key thing. And you see it happening all the time.
	And journalists should be aware of it.
	And I think many of them are, but they don't care.
	They'll go for it. I've seen that trap laid over and over again.
	And I've seen Infowars walk through that door over and over again.
	I had Steve Pachenik trying to push me through that door with a Vegas shooting over and over again.
	Oh, nobody died.
	No, people died. You want to make it about nobody died so we don't talk about who the killer was and about all of the discrepancies in that shooting.
	Right? All the strange things that, oh, let's not do an investigation.
	Let's just say nobody died and then everybody gets written off as kooks.
	That's what Steve Pachinik did.
	Because we know who he's working for.
	He's controlled.
	So there's Infowars with that stuff.
	And they're willingly walking into it.
	Here's another listener.
	This is from Art on Maui.
	Here's a direct Twitter link to the new satellite movable image of the Lahaina aftermath, which makes the destruction much clearer as to considerations of a directed energy weapon being used, of which I'm still questionable about myself.
	He says, more than likely, rich, famous people's homes were more than likely isolated large plots away from the crowded sardine-like neighborhoods neatly manicured.
	And he says, Aloha, Maui.
	And I agree with that.
	So he's on the fence. He's on the fence.
	And when you look at some of these places, look at the church that survived.
	There's nothing really much around it.
	It's got a concrete wall around it.
	It doesn't have overgrown dried bushes.
	It has a well-watered green lawn around that church building.
	And it's got a concrete or a stone wall, and the church is stone.
	And if you look at these mega estates, do you think that Oprah's got grown-up shrubbery everywhere around her house?
	Do you think that's the case?
	No. They've got manicured lawns.
	They don't have dead trees that are rotting as fuel canisters.
	They don't have tangled shrubbery tangled into the power lines.
	They don't have any of that stuff, the expensive houses.
	They will, as predators, try to grab this land.
	Oh, for sure. For sure they will.
	And then this is from Lars.
	He says, when you closely examine, so one person directed energy weapons, another person's like, well, I'm open to it, but I'm not convinced of it.
	Here's a person who says, well, I don't think that's the case.
	When you closely examine the total devastation which occurred in Maui, you see the typical signs of total burndown associated with very high 12,000 degree temperatures of EV fires.
	Well, you know, that's true, but you also, when you have this kind of fuel in the forest, you get really massive fuel.
	When you have, and when we talked to, we talked to Lumberjack, Travis and I, we did a report, and as he was talking about how this fuel in the forest,
	the dead trees, elevate stuff, I showed, I had a video that I'd found where they were looking at it, quantifying it, and they had thermal cameras and they were showing the temperatures going up and how trees, you know, how difficult it is to start a fire, right? If you've got a really big log, you've got to start with kindling and you build up and all the rest of this stuff.
	But once you get the fire going and it's really stoking, you can just, trees will just burst into fire like they're a piece of paper.
	And I was even able to get pretty big logs that would just immediately ignite when we stoked up our fire.
	We had a masonry fireplace in our house in North Carolina.
	And it was all marble.
	You know, the hearth and all the rest of the stuff around it.
	And it had a ceramic insert.
	And we got it hot enough to melt the iron grating.
	And replace that.
	But we could get it so hot.
	That, you know, when I would drop in the big logs, I would get it stoked up and I'd put the big logs in and they would immediately ignite.
	Anyway, he says, Maui had a very high uptake of electric vehicles.
	That could be another contributing factor.
	In addition, the bush scrub was not cleared.
	The hurricanes blew trees down onto the power lines.
	Power lines set fire to the trees of brush scrub, which wasn't cleared, immediately ignited.
	The power lines now inflamed whilst carrying massive power, sent the power back to the transformers, and then boom!
	Massive EV explosions.
	You think an EV car fire is terrible?
	Well, you ain't seen nothing yet till you see a power grid explode.
	And that's, he says, what really happened in Maui.
	It wasn't a directed energy weapon, and I always say, you know, I don't think it was either.
	I'm not closing the door to that.
	But again, how the fire started is not the issue.
	All of these other things are the issue.
	And people need to direct their anger.
	At getting people removed and punished.
	Because if you don't punish them, as one of the listeners said, they'll just put more, you know, Steve Swan said they're just going to put more people in.
	And that's true. And so we need to put some fear in them.
	They have to be punished for gross negligence, if not criminal conduct.
	So, I mean, you know, when you have somebody, gross negligence operating a vehicle, don't we punish them?
	These people operate in the power grid with gross negligence.
	Maybe this power company needs to be given the death penalty.
	Fire the people, liquidate the assets, give it to somebody else or something to run.
	He says, you don't need a directed energy weapon when electricity is capable of this type of devastation.
	The Maui government, guilty of negligence of the highest order, they deliberately did not clear the brush scrub when they'd been warned about it for a decade or more.
	And then they didn't shut down the power.
	But they did shut down the water.
	Right? And now they want to use this crisis.
	They want to use this crisis to expand their 2030 agenda.
	So again, whether it's directed energy weapons, we still know that they've created fuel in the forest.
	They have left, they've created a very dangerous...
	You know, let me just give you an anecdote here.
	When we had retail video stores, every time we would build another one or we would do a remodel, the fire department was just all over that place.
	And, you know, it's a white glove inspection.
	Why aren't they doing this with the forests, right?
	Even when they're warned, they do nothing about it.
	It was so extreme.
	We had a situation in one place in Cary.
	It was a place called Waverly Place.
	And it was a very modernistic, very different type of shopping center.
	Typically, shopping centers will be in a strip or a U-shape or something like that.
	And they'll have a couple of anchor tenants, a big grocery store, big drug store, stuff like that they would have.
	And then they have a lot of small retailers, you know, like us, that would be in there.
	This one, they did it very differently.
	They had like four or five different areas.
	They had like an entertainment area.
	They had a restaurant area.
	They had a typical anchor strip thing.
	They had another area that was, you know, like clothing and architectural design and stuff like that.
	It was a very unusual shopping center, and they did a lot of very unusual things.
	And it was...
	They were the first place that we went into that had sprinkler system in it.
	And that was not required by fire code.
	They went above and beyond the fire code and put sprinkler system in it.
	Where we were, it was two stories.
	And so there were retailers above us as well.
	And they had sprinkler system.
	And so when the fire inspectors came...
	Well, first of all, we had a decorative treatment that was up in the...
	That had neon lights and things like that and a special structure that we'd built.
	But to get things to work properly, what we did was instead of having an electric exit sign that's there, We had an exit sign that used, you know, the glow-in-the-dark, you know, lettering that's, you know, got the radium or tritium or whatever it is.
	Radium, I think it is, that they painted on there with the stuff and glows in the dark.
	And so they wanted to write us up because it wasn't electrified.
	And we said, no, it's, um, uh, it glows in the dark.
	And so they had to take the sign down and you had like a half dozen of these firemen.
	So I'll get to see this. And they, they all crowd into the little restroom that's there because it's like, you know, six by six restroom, which is the standard size that they require.
	They require everything with a fine tooth comb, right?
	All the details about everything.
	And, uh, so they, you know, go in there, they turn off all the lights and it's like, yeah, okay.
	It glows. Alright, so they let us go on that.
	And they couldn't find anything.
	Because like I said, this place did a great job and they had sprinkler systems and all the rest of the stuff.
	And so then what they did was they looked up at the ceiling grid that we had.
	And it's a standard ceiling grid that you'd have in a retail area where you have the metal grid and you've got the drop-in asbestos ceiling tiles.
	I think they're, what, two by four feet or something like that.
	And then in some of those...
	You have fluorescent light fixtures, 2x4, right?
	2 feet by 4 feet.
	So, you know, the lighting is interspersed around this door.
	And that's standard. That's everywhere.
	But they had to find something.
	These fire inspectors had to find something.
	And so they said, well, I don't know.
	You know, if you had a fire in here, even though we had a sprinkler system, if you had a fire in here, I think that metal grid might melt.
	I'm sorry, not the metal grid.
	They said those light fixtures, standard fluorescent light fixtures, they might melt.
	And I said, they're made out of the same thing the grid is.
	So if they're melting and the fire is that far along, everything is gone.
	But okay, what do you want us to do about it?
	Well, I think you need to put some asbestos tiles on top of...
	The drop-in ceiling fluorescent stuff.
	Yeah, the tiles are not made of asbestos anymore, says my son.
	Well, this is 30 years ago.
	I don't know whether it was asbestos or what it was, but I think of asbestos because they had asbestos in our junior high school.
	I used to joke, they'll never burn this place down.
	They had, it was made out of concrete.
	The walls were concrete.
	The floors were concrete. The ceiling was concrete.
	And then they put, they sprayed asbestos on the top there.
	And some of the guys would take their pencils and flick them up and the point would stick in the asbestos and stuff.
	And then later they shut the whole thing down and pulled out the asbestos and stuff like that.
	But, so, anyway, we said, we lamented that the school would never burn down.
	It's concrete layered with asbestos in the ceiling.
	So anyway, the ceiling tiles, whatever they're made out of, they're fireproof, okay?
	Fireproof or fire retardant.
	And so they said, lay those tiles over the back, you know, get up there and put some tiles on top of the light fixtures.
	And I said, okay, fine, we'll do that.
	And then they passed us.
	I told Karen, I said, if anything, that's going to cause those things to overheat and maybe start a fire right there.
	And I mention all of that because that's how manic they are about everything else.
	So why don't they care about the grid?
	Why don't they care about the forest?
	And why would they put, like here in Tennessee, a massive battery storage area in the middle of the forest to make money, to burn us down?
	That's what we need to get angry about.
	That's what we need to push back on.
	And so we'll talk about the malicious neglect and everything when we come back.
	Yeah, the people's energy is being misdirected.
	Yeah, misdirection weapons.
	Weapons of mass distraction is what we really need to be concerned about.
	Greg Talent. They wanted the land.
	Valuable downtown land that was occupied by local residents and mostly older single family homes.
	Yes. And I said that from day one.
	And I gave examples of how back in Tampa, you know, we had the mayor there, Sandy Friedman.
	We called her Sandlot Friedman because she's trying to come up.
	They didn't burn the people out, but they condemned their property effectively.
	You know, came on and said, you got an old house here.
	You need to repaint it.
	Well, you need to repaint it.
	If you don't repaint it, I see some paint that's peeling on the side here.
	If you don't repaint your house, we're going to start hitting you with $100 a day fines.
	And then we stack up the penalties for not paying it, for being late, and the interest and all the rest is pretty soon they've stolen the person's house with fines.
	About Elon Musk.
	DG8 says, pathetic.
	The American people waiting on wanting billionaires to restore freedoms.
	That's right. Jason Barker.
	Hey, Jason. Just like claiming there was snake venom in the vax.
	You go so over the top that people like us using Pfizer data get disregarded.
	That's exactly right. Exactly right.
	And that's the thing that bothers me so much about Stu Peter and his snake venom stuff.
	He's selling snake oil, folks.
	And I said that when he did it.
	And that is the...
	That's the key. That's the key.
	That's why, you know, you don't jump in.
	You're going to make some fantastic claim.
	Well, you better have the evidence or I don't even want to hear it.
	You get the evidence first and then you make the claim, okay?
	These big allegations there that distract people from the non-sexy.
	Look, I know it's not very interesting to talk about policy.
	And I know it's not interesting to talk about the plans.
	But isn't it sensational enough?
	That these people have designed to lock us into high-tech Indian reservation systems, and they've been working on this for decades.
	Isn't that sensational enough?
	See, the problem is that everybody's talked about this in the alternative media at one point in time, and they're getting tired of talking about it.
	And maybe you're tired of listening about it, and so they want to give you something else to think about.
	Well, we better do something about it.
	And we'll talk about that at the local level when we come back.
	Jason says when trees get hot enough, To vaporize the sap inside, they go up fast.
	Yep. And they've all got sap.
	Some trees have got, you know, more sap than others, but they've all got sap at some level.
	Brian Taylor. Jumpstart Maui was a program to encourage everyone to get EVs, and it also set up charging stations.
	Yeah. SoloCat, 1980, all the EVs burning up in Maui just needed hot temperatures to ignite and burn down.
	No directed energy weapons needed, but I wouldn't put it past the government to use such weapons.
	Exactly right. I remember the first time I heard accusations of directed energy weapons was in the invasion of Panama.
	Um, you know, when they were coming after, um, uh, the guy, uh, Manuel Noriega that, uh, George HW Bush called strong man, strong man, Noriega.
	It's like, what is this about strong man?
	You don't want to call him a dictator or whatever.
	I mean, you know, what's, he was a drug partner of George HW Bush in the CIA. You know, they used to run drugs together and then he, I guess he got, uh, I don't know.
	Maybe he tried to stiff the big guys and they decided to take him out or something.
	But yeah, there was a documentary that was done at the time.
	It was narrated by Elizabeth Montgomery.
	I remember that very well. And they had eyewitness claims that cars, not electric cars, of course, at the time, Spontaneously combusting and just completely disintegrated.
	One car here and another one there.
	They thought that it was directed energy weapons there.
	That was a really credible story at the time, I thought.
	So I think they've been around for a while.
	Anyway. A Syrian girl.
	I think the only way they can be punished is to remove them from office for gross incompetency.
	Then call the lawyers to go after them all in a class action suit.
	Exactly right. Just like the way, you know, you want to get rid of a president.
	You can't do anything while they're in office.
	They've committed crimes and misdemeanors.
	Well, first thing you've got to do is impeach them and get that process done.
	Remove them from office. Then you can come after them for those crimes and misdemeanors.
	And you should. And they should come after these people as well.
	And there should be massive financial penalties of some sort.
	The problem is, since these electric companies operate as a government-granted monopoly, If you give them massive fines, they're going to pass them along in higher rates to everybody.
	And so you need to remove this company and all the people that are there need to lose their job and move them on to somebody else.
	I know that's a difficult thing to do.
	Where are you going to find the people to replace them?
	You probably wind up hiring a lot of the same people, but it's definitely the people at the top.
	That need to go. And perhaps get a ban from being involved in that industry ever again.
	A lifetime ban or something like that.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Music Thank
	you. Making
	sense. Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, welcome back.
	We had a listener talk about the article.
	There are going to be fires month in and month out all across the country.
	I saw this on healthimpact.com, vaccineimpact.com, same site.
	And Brian Shulhavi is good about giving credit to the people who originate the story.
	The story originated with the Healthy American, Peggy Hall of the Healthy American.
	Pulled some comments from the Hawaiian governor.
	His name is Josh Green.
	And he said, well, month in and month out all across the country, you're going to have deadly fires.
	America is now a country at war with a globalist, all in the name of climate change, says Brian.
	Get ready for climate lockdowns and for the destruction of American cities as the climate terrorists continue their reign of terror.
	And that's the key thing. You know, when you look at this, how does he know that's going to happen?
	Well, again, we always have fires, and, you know, there are natural fires that happen with lightning strikes, but most fires happen by arson.
	It doesn't have to just be the government.
	But most fires happen by arson.
	They don't even happen out of carelessness of campers as, you know, Smokey the Bear.
	Smokey Bear. Forget which it is, technically.
	It isn't, you know, only you can prevent forest fires?
	Yeah, only you, if you get your government to stop leaving fuel containers all over the place.
	Fuel containers that we could put to constructive use.
	Literally constructive use.
	Get the standing deadwood out of there and make log homes out of them or make lumber out of it, all the rest of the stuff.
	No, they don't want you to do that.
	Leave it there. Let it rot.
	Let it decay. Even to the extent it's not just the wildfires, but I told you last week that you now have some lunatics out there saying, well, we've got to cut down the forests because these trees, when they get old and they die, they release a lot of carbon dioxide into the air.
	And they create a fire hazard.
	It's like, there's a solution to that.
	It's called stewardship.
	It's called forestry management.
	It's something you shut down 50 years ago.
	And now it's pretty much universal.
	You can solve both of those problems by putting the wood to good use instead of letting it sit there and rot and creating a fire hazard.
	And so, of course, we know that's going to happen.
	And of course we know there's going to be arson.
	And there's going to be arson whether it's the government setting it or some other person who's doing it because they, again, working for another government, working because they've got a grudge.
	But the government is going to use all of this to try to move us off of the land.
	We know that. And so what do we do about this?
	The way I look at it, there's like four things we need to look at.
	Okay? Can we stop the arson?
	No. Can we stop natural fires?
	No. But can we stop them once they get started?
	And that's what we need to focus on, isn't it?
	You know, just as you have these fire inspectors go around to different retail stores or going around to your home and looking for, you know, all of these different things that you can do to minimize what happens in a home.
	We had, when Travis got married last October, we had Karen's brother and Virginia Beach, while they were at the wedding, lightning struck their house and burned the entire thing down.
	Now their house had all the usual protections and all the rest of the stuff, and the fire alarms and all the rest of the things, you know, that people put in.
	You can try to minimize stuff like that, but it's always going to happen.
	And I tell you, when you have a fire, nobody was hurt.
	And fortunately, it hit in the middle of the night at like 2 o'clock in the morning, lightning strike.
	And it was a raging inferno before anybody could do anything about it.
	And they thought it was a joke when they got the call.
	It's like, this is not a funny joke.
	And they realized it was true.
	Because people had contacted his son first.
	For some reason they found his name first.
	And contacted him and said, yeah, there was a fire in the middle of the night.
	Everything in your house burned down.
	And it takes everything in your life.
	All your pictures, photos, all that kind of stuff that you had that's not replaceable.
	Uh, and it has been, um, quite a hassle for them for the last year.
	They still, because of red tape and bureaucracy and all the rest of stuff, um, they're in Virginia in a Democrat area and the red tape and everything's kept them from rebuilding all this time.
	And, um, you know, but they still lost all of that and nobody lost their life.
	That's the key thing about that.
	One of the key differences with this Maui thing.
	So what do we do to stop the fires once they start?
	It's inevitable that fires are going to be started, naturally or by arson.
	So what do we do to stop it?
	What do we do to get these people to actually, you know, get concerned about Trying to fireproof things that are under their control.
	We need to demand that.
	Secondly, we need to punish these people and find these bureaucracies that we've just talked about, kick them out of office, then come after them with lawsuits and all the rest of the stuff or malicious criminal acts or willful negligence or whatever you want to put in there.
	These people need to pay a price for that.
	Third, we've got to protect homeowners and landowners from this Agenda 2030.
	They'll use every trick in the book to steal your property.
	Again, I saw it in the rural areas with the farmers, with the Bundy Ranch.
	There used to be 50-plus farmers in that area.
	And the Bundy family was the last one in that area.
	And he said, from here in Nevada all the way into California, they removed all the farmers except for us.
	And that's why they're coming after us this way.
	So they'll use fines and they'll use restrictions and say, well, you know, you're not going to be able to...
	To water your cattle and all the rest of the stuff.
	We've got new rules now, and you can't water your cattle.
	And when there was 50 ranches there, they had more desert tortoises than they did when they were down to one ranch.
	And they'll do that kind of stuff.
	So we saw that there in the rural areas.
	And then we saw it with the miners, who had had deeds to mines, and they had them going back to the middle 1800s, and they tried to move them off of their land.
	And then we saw them burning the lumberjacks off of their land.
	And then when my family went on vacation, and it was an area in Oregon, there were signs everywhere, and I don't know how it turned out, but there were signs everywhere, and I did a report on it, and they were talking about, this is a developed neighborhood.
	It was a suburban neighborhood.
	So they're moving on from the rural areas where you have people who have property rights, To ranch, water rights, those are as real rights as the deed that you have to your house.
	You know, when we were in Texas, they had, I remember when we bought our house in Texas in 1980, there was, they made a big deal, there's a piece of paper there about how The oil rights did not transfer.
	And we had this little teeny tiny zero lot line house and everything.
	It's like, oh yeah, I'm going to drill down and set up an oil well here.
	But they made clear, even on a small piece of property like that, that they're not transferring the mineral rights and the oil rights to you.
	I see mineral rights and oil rights and grazing rights and water rights and lumber rights and all this.
	Those are all separate things.
	And those can all exist on the same piece of property.
	And I would tell people, hey, you're thinking that you buy a piece of property and you own it all the way down to the center of the earth, right?
	No, typically not.
	And that's especially not true when you're talking about private, when you're talking about the so-called government-owned land.
	Which, under the Constitution, they should not be owning that land.
	That's why you have the District of Columbia.
	The District of Columbia, some forts, some ports, that's what they should be allowed to control, but not anything else.
	And the rest of that should be state land, if it's going to be that, or private land.
	But, you know, when you have...
	The government gets on the so-called public land and they try to manage everybody off of it.
	That's why when the Bundy family was saying, we have property rights here.
	And the mainstream media was like, they think that they own this property.
	They had water rights, they had grazing rights, and those were real property rights.
	And those property rights went back way before there was even a BLM, a Bureau of Land Management.
	And it went back to before it was a state.
	In many cases, these things.
	And that's what we saw with the mining and other issues like that.
	But I said at the time, you know, people in suburbs don't realize that these are property rights and they're going to come after your home in the suburbs.
	And when we were in Oregon, they had signs up everywhere for people to fight this takeover that they were working on.
	And they were going to take people's homes in the name of the Green Agenda.
	Just like they wanted to take the ranches and they wanted to kick the ranchers and the miners and the loggers and everything off of their land.
	They're going to do it with people with suburban homes.
	They don't have to burn them out.
	They can steal it with a piece of paper and a pen.
	And that's what those people in Oregon were trying to organize to fight.
	So we've got to protect the homeowners and landowners.
	We've got to punish these people who have willfully been negligent, malicious, or criminal in their acts.
	We've got to do things to be able to stop the fires better.
	And then finally we've got to focus on the agenda.
	On the agenda.
	Get people to understand where these people want to take us.
	Again, going back to the pandemic.
	At the very beginning, it wasn't just Event 201.
	It was going all the way back to Dark Winter.
	Every time they had practiced this, they said, we're going to have some massive pandemic, which there was no pandemic.
	They shut everything down before anybody even claimed that people were dying from it.
	This is an anticipation of people dying from it.
	And so, you know, but they said, we're going to shut everything down and keep everybody locked down until we got a rapidly developed, untested vaccine, and we'll require that for everybody getting out.
	So we knew what the plan was going to be.
	I kept trying to tell people this is the plan.
	They've been practicing this plan for 20 years.
	If people had understood that that was the plan, I don't think it would have taken them two and a half years to finally say, I'm not wearing this mask anymore.
	I'm not jumping through your hoops anymore.
	I'm not doing this stuff anymore.
	If they'd known what the plan was, perhaps they would have focused on it.
	I know that the churches would.
	There's a lot of churches that closed for three or four months that then opened up and opposed this to the point of fines and jail.
	Some of the churches got the information right away, and they opposed it from the start.
	Others, it took them about four months.
	And so if you understand where these people are going, Then you're forearmed.
	If they try to pull it on us again, which we know that they will, but we're letting all of these rules and regulations and this usurp power that they did with Trump in 2020 and Fauci, we've been standing in concrete.
	That concrete is hardening while we focus on Dominion voting machines and Trump's bruised ego, which he did nothing to investigate any of this stuff.
	See, it's just like the directed energy weapon.
	He talks about this, but he doesn't do any investigation.
	Show me the receipts!
	And, you know, you had, even after we were about two years into this, last year it was, I think, you had Steve Bannon.
	There was a big event that was put together by Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy.
	And he's got the receipts.
	And so Bannon is there, and it turned out to be like a...
	Al Capone's vault in Geraldo Rivera, if you remember that.
	There was nothing there.
	And after a while, Bannon says, he's got nothing.
	He said he's going to bring the receipts.
	He's got nothing. And he shut it down.
	He's kind of embarrassed. But now, you know, he doesn't care.
	You know, we won't talk about that anymore.
	We'll continue to talk about Trump.
	And everything will be fine.
	And he keeps talking to his audience about the election stuff, even though he knows that they didn't do anything to investigate.
	He knows they have no evidence and no proof of any of this stuff.
	And they didn't really spend much money on that.
	Right? Most of the money that was donated went directly to Trump, and he kept it, gave a share to the RNC. If you gave more than $8,000, then they would, anything over $8,000, they would spend on legal investigation.
	But for the most part, it was just, send me your money.
	And when you look at Stop the Steal, it was run by Alex and Roger Stone and Ali Alexander.
	What were they raising money for?
	They weren't promising to hire lawyers or do any investigation.
	All of that money just went straight to them.
	Anyway, so we want to stop these fires once they've started.
	We want to punish these people who have acted out of criminal negligence Or criminal maliciousness.
	We want to protect the homeowners and landowners from these land grab schemes, and we want to focus on this agenda, not on the directed energy weapons.
	That's why I'm saying this.
	You know, that's a separate issue.
	And let's not lose track of these four things.
	If we get these four things, great.
	That's a heavy enough lift.
	Then we can look at what started it.
	And like I said before, I understand that policy, looking at policy and plans and schemes, that's not as sexy, it's not as sensational as looking at some advanced weapons.
	But are Maori survivors right to fear losing their properties?
	This is from Exposé News.
	A threat of predatory outsiders swooping in to buy up property under the ashes of Maui is sparking outrage and opening old wounds for locals.
	The governor has addressed those fears, and he says that he's exploring options of a moratorium on any sales of damaged or destroyed property.
	But is he, Governor Green, and the state with their World Economic Forum connections, are they really the ones to fear?
	As a matter of fact, this is one of the key things that got everybody so concerned about that.
	Listen to what he said in the press conference, and this is about 10 minutes or so into the press conference.
	I'm already thinking about ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or to make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to people who were lost.
	We want this to be something that we remember after the pain passes as a magic place.
	And behind it we'll rebuild.
	The tragedy right now is the loss of life.
	The buildings can be rebuilt over time.
	Even the Banyan tree may survive.
	But we don't want this to become a clear space where then, yes, people from overseas just come and decide they're going to take it.
	The state will take it and preserve it first.
	Yeah, the state will take it and preserve it.
	You know, for the good of everybody, we're going to steal your land.
	We've seen that happen over and over.
	And that's very concerning.
	He addressed the fears of Maori residents on the 14th of August who feared that speculators will swoop in.
	He says, I've actually reached out to our Attorney General to explore options to do a moratorium on any sales of properties that have been damaged.
	But subsequent to that, he made that statement.
	Well, maybe we'll just take it and make a memorial out of it.
	And then, you know, you'll have to find another place to live.
	But don't worry, we've got these smart cities or these freedom cities or whatever that we can put you in.
	The Hawaiian state government attempts information blackout now on the Maui fire.
	That's going to pour more fuel on the fire of people who suspect that there was something malicious or fishy about all of this, and rightfully so.
	Steve Malloy says, Bad government, not climate, is to blame for the Maui wildfire disaster.
	Dry grasslands, windy conditions, one or more sparks all it took to put Maui ablaze.
	As usual, natural disasters.
	What happened is not really predictable, so no one is to blame for the event itself, but they're pointing in the wrong direction, he says.
	And that's what I feel that we've got to focus on.
	The grasslands that the wildfire blew through did not dry overnight.
	The area where the wildfires occurred have been moderate to severe drought.
	Drought conditions are significant risk factors.
	And again, the overgrowth did not happen overnight.
	It's been there for a long time, and they've been warned about this for a decade.
	Though lightning strikes can ignite wildfires, most are touched off by human activity, by a downed power line, or negligently extinguished campfire, or by arson.
	In May of 2022, Maui officials investigated arson as a cause of wildfires that have been set all over the island.
	So the Maui government had actual knowledge of drought conditions and constructive knowledge that arson was a possibility.
	It had been a reality a year earlier.
	And yet, and they've been warned about negligent activity in terms of not clearing away the brush.
	And so, all of this are contributed to that.
	And that's what we need to focus on.
	You know, direct your energy towards these officials.
	And go on offense against them.
	Go on defense for the homeowners.
	Now, when we come back, again, what they're trying to do, the government is trying now to redirect this to big oil.
	It's big oil's problem. Wow.
	So they want, they said, big oil created global warming.
	Global warming created this mess.
	And so we get off scot-free.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	When we come back, we're going to talk a little bit more detail about stopping tomorrow's fires today.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	All right. Syrian girl says, Lahaina will rebuild, the government will steal it and build on it.
	Yeah, I think that's what they're going to do, quite frankly.
	And that's what we need to be focused on.
	That and how do we stop them from turning all public lands into a fire hazard?
	And that's what they've been working on for 50 years.
	Now, Brian Taylor is not happy with my explanation, and I'm sorry, Brian, I don't know what else to tell you.
	He says if we have to look at the whole truth, if we don't look at how the fire started, I agree it's not the only thing to look at, but it should still be investigated to a certain degree.
	Well, if you want to focus on directed energy weapons, go ahead.
	Stu Peters will. Mike Adams will.
	I don't really know what else.
	I want to try to stop what is happening here.
	And, you know, you can have fires, as I just said.
	Fires can be started by lightning.
	They can be started by negligence.
	They can be started by electrical stuff.
	They can be started by the battery packs that I'm going to talk about now.
	And the question is, why can't you put them out in Canada?
	It's because of the forestry policies.
	It's the forestry policies.
	That needs to be a number one priority.
	And guess what? The forestry policies are part of this green alarmism, this religion of environmentalism, the idea that we're not stewards of the land, that Gaia is this living organism.
	Don't touch it. If a tree dies, leave it there.
	Don't touch it. Right?
	Don't pull it out and build a house with it.
	Leave it there. Right?
	I just don't know how to get people...
	It's a matter of what you spend your efforts on, right?
	To the extent that you're focused on the mystery of this, and I understand the curiosity aspect of it, but to the extent that you're focused on that, you're not addressing the real problems and you're not doing anything to try to solve the problems.
	The problems are going to be difficult enough to solve without wasting your time, spinning your wheels, looking at this other stuff.
	So, fine.
	I'm done with the directed energy weapons stuff.
	People want to do programs, entire programs on directed energy.
	I've done an hour on it, and I've talked about it last week.
	I'm done with directed energy weapons.
	Until somebody comes up with some concrete stuff, then I'll talk about it.
	Until then, I'm not. If people don't like that...
	You know, people turn me off because I talk about Trump.
	I'm not interested in Trump.
	I'm interested in policies.
	You know, when you look at the debate that's coming up this week, he's got a pre-recorded interview that he's done with Tucker that he's going to play at the same time so he doesn't have to go to the debate.
	If I was running as a candidate, I would go in and I would say, I'm happy to debate everybody, and I want to have this debate because I think that's one of the most important parts of a presidential campaign, perhaps the only important part, because once they get in office, they're going to do whatever the CIA tells them to do, okay? So we can at least have a debate about policies that are going to affect us and talk about what the government is doing to destroy our lives, like in Maui and other places.
	The policies that are destroying our lives, the policies that are burning us down, literally the policies.
	And I would say, you know, these other opponents have some ideas.
	We may have a difference of opinion on some of these ideas, but we need to hammer it out because there's some real problems and there's a lot of stuff that's not ever being talked about in these debates.
	The real problems are never talked about in the debates.
	But Trump doesn't even want to go to the debate.
	Because it's all about him.
	It's not about any policies.
	It's not about what's happening to you in your life.
	It's all about him and his ego.
	So he won't even show up.
	Because that would make, you know, he's going to yell juvenile insults at the other people.
	He's got nothing to say about policy.
	That's why he's not there.
	It's all about him winning.
	It's 4-D chess.
	Trump's got to win so he can lie to people.
	Because he's got to win.
	Why does he have to win?
	If he's irrelevant to the issues, why does he have to win?
	All this stuff, you know, this newest thing that happened over the weekend.
	DeSantis was talking about the fact that we don't want to have a cult of personality, and he talked about people becoming listless vessels.
	Now, he says that he was talking about political officials, or elected officials piling in endorsing Trump or whatever.
	I don't care if he's talking about them or if he's talking about MAGA. If the shoe fits, wear it.
	We don't want a personality cult.
	And calling somebody a listless vessel is not as bad as calling them non-essential, which is what Trump did.
	Everybody said, well, that sounds like Hillary Clinton saying we're deplorables.
	Well, how about Trump who said we're not essential and took Main Street businesses and shut them down for the benefit of Wall Street businesses?
	Anyway, yeah, government will buy the land and rent it back at most if they do that.
	They'll probably want to put people on their projects, their Indian reservations.
	By the way, before we get any further in this, I want to talk about what's going on with the Tesla battery packs that are proliferating all over the place.
	You want to talk about a source of fires?
	As far as I'm concerned, this is a pre-arsen movement right here.
	And it's happening right here where we live.
	Before I get into this, I had some newspaper clippings that were sent to me by some people who also live here in Tennessee.
	And I want to give you an idea of this because this is not a local issue.
	New York, California, all these different places, even abroad, this type of thing is happening.
	So these are listeners who live here who sent me some newspaper clippings about this.
	But before I get to it, like I said, I just want to say I didn't finish Ryan's thing.
	He was very kind.
	I appreciate the tip, Ryan.
	So I'll be praying for you and your family.
	And then he said, May the Lord bless you and keep you.
	The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
	The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
	Thank you so much. Appreciate that blessing.
	Thank you, brother. All right.
	Let's talk about what's happening here.
	Here we have a situation where they wanted to set up in Jefferson County, they wanted to set up a $250 million project And this is coming from the Tennessee Valley Authority, big thing that was set up during the Depression, I think, to provide electrification for this area.
	And there was a lot of pushback from the public when they found out about this.
	They want to set up this massive battery storage system within five miles of a local school.
	It's in a forestry zone.
	So, you know, it's not enough that they leave dead trees in the forest.
	Now they want to put massive, a million, literally a million battery cells from Tesla in the middle of the forest.
	You see, this is a metaphor for what has been happening for 50 years in forestry so-called management.
	And now, again, because of environmentalism.
	Why do they leave the forest like that?
	Oh, environmentalism. Why are they going to put this battery pack in there?
	Oh, green agenda! And so there was a massive pushback, so much so that the commission voted 16 to 1 to not approve this.
	And they're saying, well, wait a minute.
	We're allowed to put this into these types of forestry zones, A1 agriculture and forestry zones.
	We're allowed to put that in.
	And you're changing the rules at the last minute because you say this is close to a school.
	And so we're going to sue you on it.
	So it's going to go, you know, the Tesla people, it's actually not Tesla directly.
	It's another company.
	This is Plus Power is the name of this company.
	And in New York, you've got another company, but they're all buying the Tesla battery packs.
	And then they put this thing together.
	They cut the deal. And in this particular situation, their company is going to get $250 million.
	They're going to kick back $20 million to the county.
	You see how this is being done?
	They bribe people, right?
	They bribe people. But it was, so kudos to the county for pushing back against it.
	Now there's going to be a lawsuit from Plus Power.
	The lithium-ion battery facility is big enough to power 250,000 homes, they said.
	It's TVA that is pushing this.
	They want to add up to 5,000 megawatts of carbon-free power to their system.
	And just in Tennessee alone, and just with the TVA alone, they have 20 additional sites that they want to put this in.
	So this is not a local issue.
	This is a national and an international issue.
	They said they paid the county $20 million in taxes over 20 years, they said.
	And how much are the electric rates going to go up for the people who live in these areas?
	The TVA decides that they're going to shut down the functional fuel plants.
	And they're going to put up the solar power and the wind power, which is unreliable, incredibly expensive, and doesn't last very long.
	Both the solar degrades, the windmills have issues in terms of bearings going out or other issues.
	You've seen them freezing up, burning, and all the rest of this stuff.
	They're not reliable, they're not proven, and they're incredibly expensive, and that power bill is going to be pushed on to everybody else, along with the fire hazard.
	13 citizens spoke in favor, 20 expressed concerns about the battery project, and so when you had 33 people show up, county commissioners said, okay, well, you know, let's not approve this.
	It'll be a lawsuit. Several other people wondered why TVA had not proposed using its own property.
	Put it on your, you know, not in my backyard, put it in your backyard.
	You're going to be shutting down coal-fired power plants, so why don't you put your battery storage thing there?
	That's an industrial area.
	There's not trees around it.
	There's no schools around it.
	Put it there. No, they don't want to do that, right?
	It may have something to do with line losses or something.
	I don't know. But they're not done with that.
	They want 5,000 megawatts of this stuff, but by 2035, they want double that.
	They want 10,000 megawatts, and that's just here in Tennessee.
	So this facility is going to have 200 Tesla Megapack 2 enclosures for a total of 6 million lithium-ion cells.
	And I have a question that I would ask if I had known about this.
	What is the meantime between failure for these cells?
	Because when one of them fails, it causes a thermal runaway.
	They all catch fire.
	That's why we see this issue.
	That's why the bus stations in Germany burned down.
	Stuttgart, they had an entire station burned down.
	They had another one in another German city where one of these electric buses caught fire, burned a whole bunch of other buses, but the one in Stuttgart burned down all the buses and the bus station completely.
	They said, we're done with that.
	And France. They've had about a dozen of these fires with the buses, so they said, we're done with it.
	In Canada, they said, we've had these electric buses catching fire so frequently, we're going to take out the batteries and put diesel engines back in these buses.
	And so we scale it up now.
	From a bus to a semi-truck.
	From a semi-truck to the power grid itself.
	A million batteries.
	What's the chances that one of these, because you only need to have one of them, blow up, right?
	What's the mean time between failure of these things?
	What are the other conditions that are going to cause this thing to fail?
	Meanwhile, they say, well, there's no fire danger.
	There's no danger of smoke.
	There's no danger of explosion.
	Seriously? You think that we're that stupid?
	Wow. Local volunteer fire departments are not equipped to handle this.
	Local, you know, fire departments are not equipped to handle the EV fires.
	This is a million batteries.
	And so, again, you know, $250 million with this.
	And it's a 30-acre site.
	People are saying, why don't you put this on the power plant sites that you're going to be shutting down?
	So let's take a look at how one of these played out in California last September.
	Hasn't even been a year. And then we've had even more recent fires.
	At least one Tesla Megapack caught fire on September 20, 2022, at the energy storage facility.
	Same thing. It was a 182-megawatt Tesla Megapack.
	Now, I don't know how many of those they have at this facility.
	They're talking about 5,000.
	I don't know if that's at this facility or if that's at the 20 different facilities that they have there.
	But again, here's another question.
	Did they have these types of storage facilities in Hawaii, as obsessed as they are with green energy and all the rest of it?
	The fires in the energy storage system in California, a place called Moss Landing, reminiscent of incidents that happened in Australia.
	With Tesla Megapacks, they said at the time.
	And they have to do this in order to use electricity from intermittent renewable sources, like wind and solar.
	And I've been fighting this battle for a long time.
	Here's something that I did over a decade ago.
	It was about 15 years ago.
	And the first renewable energy mandates were coming out of Colorado at the time, and the group that I was with was involved in a lawsuit to stop those renewable mandates.
	And here's why. American Tradition Institute.
	restoring science, accountability, and liberty to the environmental policy debate.
	We're putting wind on trial because people don't understand the facts behind wind.
	We believe that if people knew how variable wind was and how dirty it was, if they knew the wind is neither free nor clean, then they may not have government demand its use.
	Wind energy is very variable.
	When the wind blows, you're in good shape, but on a second-by-second basis, the wind energy goes up and down.
	Because electricity must balance a demand and supply, any changes in the supply have to be taken up by some other supply, typically fossil fuel.
	So you've got a fossil fuel plant that is running up and down much like a car in traffic in the city.
	That's inefficient. It uses more fuel than it needs to, which causes more pollution.
	And it burns dirtier, which causes more pollution.
	And the pollution control equipment doesn't work as well, which causes more pollution.
	So just trying to keep the energy balanced on the grid when wind is there causes pollution.
	And if you took wind off the grid and just used the fossil fuel plant the way it was intended to be used, it would be like a car on the highway driving in a steady stream.
	That would cause less pollution than if wind was on the grid.
	Now the question comes up, how do we know that it's dirtier?
	And as a variety of studies have been done, one of the ones we're relying on in our Colorado lawsuit is the Bentex study.
	They examined with great care how much pollution comes out under different wind and fossil fuel scenarios.
	That study is available on the web and it's a very good study that no one has ever refused.
	In a free market system, the marketplace should be able to pick the winners, not the government.
	Because wind is not the good deal that people say, because it costs more, because it comes out of the pocketbooks of Americans who can't afford more, we believe it's time to put wind on trial.
	We took this lawsuit because we're a pro-environmental organization.
	We have found, as have others, that use of renewable energies can cause more pollution than it prevents.
	And it's also unconstitutional.
	So we take in this case to try to fix the problem that's both a legal problem and an environmental problem.
	All right, and that's what I was doing, I think it's 2011, maybe.
	So, anyway, about 12 years ago.
	And, look, nothing has changed.
	You've got to keep recycling these things up and down even during the day.
	And then at night, you've got to have some place to store it.
	And they don't have a good storage option.
	These Tesla Megapacks are not a safe storage option.
	There's absolutely no way when his cars are catching fire that a conglomeration of a million of these batteries isn't, in my opinion, government-sanctioned arson.
	That's what this is.
	You want to get upset about directed energy weapons?
	Get directed on these storage facilities because they're happening all over the country.
	This is a real, provable example of this stuff.
	It's 100% real.
	100% provable.
	It's a way to make us poor.
	To limit us. Well, we don't have enough power on the grid, so you can't drive your electric car.
	I know, but you banned my internal combustion engine cars telling me I can have an electric car.
	I know, I know, but, you know, this just didn't work out.
	You know, we banned it and we just hoped that these solutions would come along, but they haven't, so you can't drive your car and you can't turn on your air conditioning and you can't turn on your electric oven and you can't turn on your electric heat in your house.
	Sorry. Yeah, what are you going to do about it?
	Well, you better start doing something about it right now.
	And so, there's two distinct energy storage projects at this place in Monterey.
	Yeah, they go to a beautiful place like Monterey.
	I remember years and years ago, I had a friend who went to West Point.
	He was in Monterey, California.
	He was taking some kind of a management class.
	He was actually being taught by the Navy, I think.
	And we went out to see him.
	And I know the dollar figures don't make any difference.
	This is like 40 years ago.
	And he said, you see that little tiny shack over there?
	I mean, the land was measured in square feet, not in acres, okay?
	It's very, very tiny.
	And it was a dilapidated shack.
	And he goes, that's for sale for a couple of million dollars.
	Just because it's in Monterey and it's on the coast there where it's got a view.
	And so they go to these beautiful places and then they put these battery abominations there.
	One is operated by PG&E. The other one is operated by Texas-based Vistra.
	You see, PG&E is a power company, but they have these, you know, this has been so successful in Texas.
	These people, you know, crony capitalism in Texas and what happened with ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, you know, they were able to have their way.
	The Republican governors, Rick Perry, Greg Abbott, Spent tens of billions of dollars on infrastructure to go out to these windmills.
	The people who built the windmill fields did not have to pay for the infrastructure to carry the electricity back.
	State paid for it.
	Massive crony capitalism.
	And so in the wake of that, you've got all these different companies coming out of Texas.
	You've got the one that's here, different one.
	Vistra that's operating in California.
	You've got a third one that is operating up in New York.
	And they're all repackaging these Tesla Megapack batteries.
	They're doing them all across the country.
	The Vistra side of the Moss Landing has experienced two overheating incidents in the past.
	Two prior to the big one that happened in September of last year.
	It was so big, of course, that the firefighters, when I talked to them, they said, well, we just had to let it burn out.
	It's too early to know what the cause of the fire is.
	Let me tell you what caused the fire.
	What caused the fire is this green alarmism that says that we've got to shut down our power plants that work, we can't use functional fuel, and we've got to spend untold trillions of dollars to build a different infrastructure so that people like Elon Musk can get richer.
	Richer and richer. And by the way, when you look at what's going on with Twitter, Karen pulled up just out of curiosity.
	She searched for me on Twitter.
	David Knight, David Knight's show.
	Two pages. Nothing at all about me.
	Yeah, I've got about 133,000, 34,000 followers on Twitter.
	I don't show up in their search engine.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Because I'm not going to bow down to Elon Musk.
	This guy is a transhumanist.
	Member of the technocracy royalty families, and he's grifting us every way that he can.
	PG&E's Jeff Smith said safety systems of the facility worked as designed when the issue was detected, and they automatically disconnected the battery.
	Well, that's something that at least they did that they didn't do in Hawaii, right?
	They disconnected it from the electrical grid so that they wouldn't keep feeding into it.
	California's renewable energy dream is a joke.
	And this is just last week.
	And coming from Washington Examiner.
	They said, LA Times reported on the extension that they have put in here.
	They've had rolling blackouts.
	They've had fires at these places.
	And Newsom's appointee, said the LA Times, initially expressed confidence that California would be able to build enough clean energy resources by the end of 2023 to close the polluting generators.
	They mean the ones that work.
	And they're not polluting.
	That is California's entire energy strategy, says the Washington Examiner.
	If state officials just believe, just believe in wind and solar, if you believe enough, Suddenly they'll make magic advancements that allow the state to cut off all the other forms of energy.
	The state then slaps deadlines on all the other forms of energy to shut them down, and then must start improvising extensions when those deadlines approach and those magic advancements haven't materialized.
	This is a Peter Pan approach.
	Do you remember that stupid...
	Musical. I used to play that every year when I was a kid on TV. I remember, even as a kid, I thought, this is cringy.
	Come on, everybody!
	Everybody clap for Tinkerbell!
	Tinkerbell is dying over here.
	Let's get that little light back.
	This is grabbing nuisances energy policy.
	The Tinkerbell energy policy.
	They're going to tinker with your grid until they destroy it.
	That's a directed weapon, by the way.
	Look at their policy is a directed weapon.
	This is the exact same game the state's been playing with Diablo Canyon, the last nuclear power plant operating in California.
	The process of shutting down the plant, which provides about 9% of all of California's energy.
	It's a massive state.
	They've got one power plant that provides all of that, you know, 10% of their energy, essentially.
	And they want to shut it down.
	Look, this person says, well, nuclear energy is clean.
	If you think that emissions are the problem, yes.
	See, my concern is, and I've always said this, even before Fukushima, but I really doubled down with Fukushima, because what happened at Fukushima?
	What got flooded? What was the big problem?
	They spent fuel that was stored on site.
	You see, this is another can that they've kicked down the road.
	There may be breeder reactors and other things like that that you can recycle that stuff.
	But again, there's technological solutions for all this stuff.
	But the government doesn't want to wait for the technology to get into place.
	It bans this or that and demands that you use this new thing over here that doesn't yet work or has a lot of big issues with it.
	And I think there's some big issues with nuclear power.
	But look, we've got to have power somewhere.
	But they will always find a way.
	Diablo Canyon has another issue and it's built right on top of a fault line.
	Put it somewhere else.
	I don't know that any place in California is 100% safe, but hey, you know, you could put it somewhere where it's not on a fault line.
	And again, let's not call it fossil fuels.
	They say, well, both fossil fuels and nuclear energy continue to bail out California's grid.
	Let's not call it fossil fuels.
	Let's call it functional fuels.
	Things that work. And then we take away the things that work and give you some stuff that they assure you is going to someday work in the future.
	We don't have that solution yet.
	Because these politicians are used to just dictating things.
	Trouble is, the world doesn't work that way, and they're so detached from reality, they don't care.
	So, again, the September 2022 fire, and as that was happening, California Santa Cruz Sentinel newspaper said that the fire was also a reminder that battery blazes are becoming increasingly common and destructive.
	Australia was. And other places in America, as we'll see, safety measures, including fire drills for residents around storage facilities, will have to be put in place and widely disseminated, they said.
	Well, there you go. That fixes everything, right?
	So we're going to go ahead and put these battery plants next to schools and in the middle of forestry areas.
	And then we'll just have fire drills for you, because we know it's coming.
	We know it's coming. Just like we leave the deadwood in the trees, we put now millions of Tesla batteries in the forest.
	California is not the only state where energy storage facilities have experienced fires in neighboring Arizona.
	In 2020, they released the findings of an investigation into an incident that occurred at an APS battery storage site in 2019.
	On April 19, 2019, there were reports of smoke from the building housing the energy storage systems.
	Let's see if I wanted to...
	Get into occult and symbolism.
	I would talk about the significance of April the 19th.
	But I want to focus on this stuff.
	This is the key thing here, right?
	But hazardous materials units and first responders arrived on scene to secure the area.
	Approximately three hours after the reports of smoke and shortly after the door was opened, the site experienced a catastrophic failure.
	Injured first responders were transported to the hospital.
	Among other things, reports said that the suspected fire in Arizona in 2019 was actually an extensive cascading thermal runaway event initiated by an internal cell failure within one battery cell in the battery energy storage system.
	And this one will have, this first one that they're talking about, the TVA one, but a million of those.
	One of them fails, and you have a cascading event.
	It explodes.
	People are injured with it.
	They have to let the things burn out because they don't have the capability to put out these fires.
	Well, that's convenient, isn't it?
	This is even better than their malpractice in the forest management to burn us out.
	In August of 2019, an Arizona utility regulator raised questions about the safety of these lithium-ion batteries.
	Following fires, and so that's four months later, in a letter to her fellow commissioners, Commissioner Sandra Kennedy of the Arizona Corporation Commission, said the types of lithium-ion chemistry used at those facilities, quote, are not prudent and create unacceptable risks.
	It's the Tesla stuff.
	Regardless of who these, you know, you got different power companies and you got different companies that are putting these systems together and selling them to the power companies and they're all using this Tesla pretty much.
	There's one other company. A GE's got a technology with it and they were involved in one of these fires.
	But almost all of them have been Tesla mega battery fires.
	More recently, a fire broke out at an energy storage facility in Chandler, Arizona, in April of 2022.
	So again, three years exactly, three years later.
	The incident occurred at the Dorman Battery Storage Facility, a 10-megawatt facility.
	TVA wants 5,000 megawatts.
	This is at a 10-megawatt facility.
	Now, that may be the 5,000 megawatts that they want online.
	That may be the 20 different sites that they want to have in Tennessee.
	But even if it was 20 of them, each of these sites is still two and a half times bigger than the one that caught fire in Chandler, Arizona.
	A key player in addressing the concerns about energy storage technology safety issues is the National Fire Protection Association.
	And let me show you what regulatory capture looks like.
	This is their statement from the National Fire Protection Association.
	The NFPA is keeping pace with the surge in energy storage.
	We're doing training and standards development and research so that various stakeholders...
	This is coming right out of the World Economic Forum.
	So that various stakeholders can safely embrace renewable energy sources and respond if potential new hazards arise, it says.
	Is that not regulatory capture writ large?
	What's the response from the National Fire Protection Association?
	They're saying, look at this new shiny technology.
	We're going to have training programs and other things like that.
	They're not doing their job.
	Not doing their job. It's going to be up to us on the ground.
	It's going to be up to you putting pressure on your county commissioners.
	It's going to be up to you to put signs in your yard like they did in the places that we saw in Oregon where they said they're trying to steal our homes for their green agenda.
	Virginia, a Virginia county, held off on battery storage project successfully.
	People in Tennessee need to understand this can be done.
	By the way, See, when you talk about this, instead of doing a defensive battle just at the county level, the people in Tennessee need to go on offense and demand that the Tennessee Valley Authority, the TVA, explain itself about this stuff.
	In Virginia, the county, they were concerned about the storage fires, and so James City County Board of Supervisors in Virginia deferred a decision on a proposed battery storage facility in the county.
	Proposed by yet another company, Calvert Energy.
	They're different companies, but typically it's the Tesla battery that's there.
	That one was 22 megawatts.
	And so that sounds kind of like the one that they've done here.
	In Boston, similar situation.
	But there they did not stop it.
	They just decided they would train people on how to try to put out a fire.
	Well, good luck. Good luck when they can't put out a Tesla lithium fire.
	Wall Street Journal says the Hawaiian Electric focused on climate change over preventing their power lines from starting fires.
	Now, I haven't been able to find out any information yet as to whether or not they had one of these massive battery storage, battery energy storage site, I think they got BESS, B-E-S-S. So I don't know, but Hawaiian Electric, the utility company whose power lines reportedly played a role in the Hawaiian fires, appears to have focused on green energy development.
	They had all these warnings, but they really didn't care.
	They didn't care even about the power lines.
	They probably put in storage facilities of batteries as well.
	The company concluded that it needed to take much more aggressive action to ensure that its hardware did not emit sparks.
	After the 2019 wildfire season, which was one of the worst recorded in the island of Maui's history.
	This is not unprecedented.
	And in the past, they were at the center of it.
	Sparks. You knock down the power lines, you're going to see sparks coming up from the ground.
	And you've got...
	I showed you pictures last week when I first talked about this.
	Power lines running right through.
	Low, low, low power lines running right through brushes, touching the power line.
	The firm does not appear to have done much work.
	It expended significant resources, however, toward green energy initiatives.
	Spent a lot of money on that, but nothing on these fire hazards.
	They spent less than $245,000 on wildfire-specific projects between 2019 and 2022, after they had determined that in 2019, sparks and other issues that they had with it, something needed to be done.
	And so people, Wall Street Journal says, well, this appears, for them to talk about the wildfire danger, it appears to have been an afterthought rather than a priority.
	The company, however, undertook a massive campaign for the green energy transition goals.
	The utility was going out for bid with all of these big renewable energy projects, but they weren't doing anything about the wildfire issues, said the county commissioner who was there.
	And so, again, the battery storage, you're going to have to have battery storage if you're going to go solar and wind.
	And the comment from Information Liberation about this particular story, It says it looks like burning down our civilization is one way to achieve net zero emissions, I guess.
	And he talked about how this commissioner, who was Mr.
	Kaleo Manuel, who refused to release the water, and he'd said previously that water requires stories about equity, and he was reluctant to turn on the water for a very long time because there was a traditional farm that was using the water, and he didn't want to take the water away from that traditional farm to put out the fire.
	See, these are the types of things that are criminal that need to be looked at.
	And he is a native Hawaiian cultural practitioner.
	That's his religion. He worships the water, evidently.
	In New York, one of these battery storage things, before we get away from that.
	Lithium-ion battery fire caught fire in Warwick, New York.
	A resident said, this thing is smoking like crazy and you can smell it and it smells like glue.
	Is it healthy? And of course the press comes out and says, well, despite the strong smell, county authorities say that there is absolutely no cause for concern.
	Yeah, right. Just like in Palestine, Ohio, right?
	And they say, well, the safest thing to do is for everybody to allow it to just burn itself out.
	You see this over and over again.
	It's not just electric vehicles.
	It's not just Tesla's cars.
	It's Tesla's mega battery sites.
	Just let it burn itself out.
	Don't worry. It's going to smell like glue for a while, but if you don't drop dead, we'll say there's no issue with your health.
	Just like Palestine, Ohio.
	Several containers housed on this site in Warwick, New York, they actually put it on school grounds.
	The company rents the property from the school district.
	The batteries are used to store energy for two utility companies.
	The News 12 investigated this.
	They said, really? So it smells like burning glue and you're saying that there's nothing to worry about?
	So the local news company investigated.
	They found, by researching online, the National Library of Medicine and other research groups found that lithium-ion batteries emit toxic gases.
	Who would have thought? Right?
	Toxic fluoride gas emission when they catch fire.
	Efforts to contact the manufacturer to see if they did any similar studies on their batteries and the results if they catch fire have been unsuccessful.
	Yeah, they're not going to reply because they're just like Pfizer.
	And then after this happened in Warwick, New York, then people on Staten Island got concerned about it.
	Because on Staten Island, guess what?
	They're putting in these Tesla battery systems just like they're putting in here in Tennessee.
	And TVA wants to do it across the...
	Well, they want to do it in...
	They're doing it in New York.
	Putting them in one place after the other.
	So fires at two...
	Lithium-ion battery energy storage sites in New York have been smoldering for more than a week after officials say a storm-related issue.
	This is July of this year.
	July 9th.
	This just happened. All this stuff is just happening.
	Because these things are just rolling out now.
	You haven't heard much about this in the past.
	I remember covering the really big fire in Australia.
	But for the most part, they're now got all these companies that are putting together these Tesla mega battery packs for the grid.
	And they're springing up all over the place.
	All at once. Just like they're rolling out the 5G stuff.
	You know, people wake up and all of a sudden, right outside their window...
	It's a 5G antenna.
	And there's a sticker on it that says, don't get within 50 feet of, you know, this should not be within 50 feet of people.
	And it's right there by their kid's bed in the window.
	And they call the company.
	The company says, we'll be right out.
	They don't move it. They take the warning sticker off.
	And so July 9th, 2020.
	Yeah, my son says, just have everybody wear a mask at the schools that are filled with the poison gas.
	That should do the trick. Yeah, we got lots of those N95 masks left over.
	I'm sure that'll do it. Yeah.
	So two fires smoldering a month ago in New York at these battery places that they can't control.
	They're going to let them burn out.
	Two separate incidents happened on June the 26th.
	They were located in residential areas, one near three schools, a bus garage, and some athletic fields.
	These sites were constructed and developed by a company called Convergent Energy, but they use Tesla battery packs, a provider of energy storage solutions.
	And they are also the ones that are going to be putting it up on Staten Island.
	So the people on Staten Island are saying, wait a minute, what's going on with this?
	These are gonna be feeding into New York City because New York City wants to pat itself on the back We've shut down our quote-unquote fossil fuels, the functioning fuels.
	And now we've got these battery things that we've stuck out here in these other people's communities and their backyards.
	And look at how green we are.
	Isn't that wonderful? They said, according to the Staten Island Project, one of these was going to be located right next to a gas station.
	A gas station. So these are urban areas.
	So, you know, you can't rely on the fact that once this battery storage site catches fire, that's going to burn down the entire forest.
	So what they do in the urban areas is they set them right next to a gas station.
	Gas station. And if one of the six million batteries goes bad, well, then you've got a cascading fire.
	A burning glue-like smell, they said.
	Authorities said they had to let it burn out on its own because water would make it even worse.
	Fire officials said Thursday the smell was like the odor of the battery's plastic covers burning.
	Well, don't know what's in that stuff, do we?
	Ah, we don't care. I'm sure it's rare if anything ever happens.
	This is exactly what we're afraid of.
	This is what they wanted to put in our parking lot.
	They said at a church, Our Lady of Pity Church.
	Yeah, they're going to need some pity if you put that thing right next to their church.
	Still others are happening in Giffords Lane in Great Kills, New York, a lithium-ion battery storage unit.
	It's currently being built. Another located in Eltingville, New York.
	That one, again, is across the street from a gas station.
	That's now complete. More recently, a similar facility broke ground in Great Kills, New York, sandwiched between a residential home and a Citgo gas station.
	One person said, you know, if you put a deck on your house, they scrutinize it from every angle.
	But now we have residents who are quite literally waking up with these battery systems in their backyards and right next to a gas station.
	Yeah, well, you know, there's one set of rules for us, isn't there?
	And it's another one for people like Elon Musk and the big money that he works with.
	They have a completely different rule system than we do.
	And you're not allowed to see those rules.
	It's not just a club that you ain't in.
	It's a law that doesn't apply to you.
	Doesn't apply to them, I should say.
	The lithium-ion facility...
	We'll hold enough electricity to charge one and a half million cell phones.
	That probably means it's got one and a half million cells in it is the way they're trying to describe this here.
	The location in New York, Fox Hills location, includes 11 Tesla Megapacks.
	Another located on a customer's property is currently being operated by utility.
	Under a demonstration project, quote-unquote.
	Yeah, it's kind of like, you know, the self-driving cars that they put out there.
	Yeah, it's an experiment.
	We're doing an experiment on the public roads, and, you know, hey, we don't have to tell you about it.
	We just do the experiments, and you're part of that.
	You know, all that stuff is nothing compared to the experiment of Pfizer-Moderna that Trump ran on us, right?
	After three fires and a solar plant toxic fume scare, the state of New York is now launching safety probe into battery storage, battery energy storage.
	You hear all those different projects that I just gave you.
	I mean, this stuff is just metastasizing all these people.
	Look at the Canada fires.
	Look at how you've got a fire here, here, here, here, here, here, here.
	You want to take a look at all the storage, battery storage sites that are going in?
	Ch-ch-ch. No, you don't want to care about that.
	Because it's directed energy weapons.
	That's the only thing that matters, right?
	If they do this right in front of your face, you don't care about it.
	Oh no, let's investigate this.
	Do something about what is right in front of your face, right in your neighborhood.
	So you got the New York governor, Kathy Hochul, even saying, well, we need to take a look at this.
	But you know what she's going to do?
	She's going to whitewash it. They're going to do the same thing they did when they put a temporary moratorium on the Johnson& Johnson vaccine and said, oh, yeah, we should be cautious about this because they'd had so many incidents happening.
	They put it on pause for a week and then come back and say, no, it's fine.
	Go ahead. She's going to do the same thing.
	I mean, you've got one fire after the other that's happening across this area.
	Oh, let's take a look.
	Oh, that's fine. Continue.
	Hochul said, as this is all happening, she urged local residents to, quote, protect themselves and their families, unquote, from exposure to smoke or other toxins following a large battery fire.
	In Jefferson County, which borders Canada.
	You see, these newspaper clips were sent to me about Jefferson County, Tennessee.
	This is Jefferson County, New York.
	Same story, same name.
	What are you supposed to do about it?
	Well, I guess you should probably be ready because it's going to catch on fire.
	So be prepared to take precautions when this battery station catches fire because we all know it's going to catch fire.
	So protect yourself from the toxic fumes.
	And maybe you can do something to protect yourself from the fire because Kathy Hochul in New York isn't going to do anything about it.
	The TVA in Tennessee isn't going to do anything about it.
	They're captured. Captured by Elon Musk.
	And his mega Tesla batteries.
	So, yeah. You want to protect yourself and your family?
	You need to start doing something about it now.
	Because it's coming to your neighborhood as well.
	Every state is on this renewable energies click, right?
	And every place they put in the solar farms and the wind farms, they're going to have to have the Tesla batteries.
	The richest man in the world can never be rich enough.
	Just as John D. Rockefeller said, always a little bit more.
	And he doesn't care if he kills you and your family to get richer.
	Just like Pfizer, Moderna, and Trump and Fauci.
	They don't care. They'll kill you to make more money.
	They'll kill you to enact their agenda of power.
	Of political power.
	Again, he knows that the conservatives would fight this climate alarmism, so he becomes the so-called savior of free speech.
	In Jefferson County, New York, a solar farm went up in flames and smoke.
	Well, it didn't completely burn down.
	That was reportedly not from the solar panels, but from the lithium battery storage that was there.
	Convergent, the company that's using the Tesla stuff, they have previously partnered with GE Renewable Energy, but now they're partnering with Tesla, evidently.
	When we install battery storage systems, we partner with reputable third-party manufacturers, you know, like Tesla.
	You know, you can't complain about Tesla.
	They're brand name.
	You know, Fauci, he's an authority.
	And Pfizer, it's a big drug company.
	You can't go wrong with them, right?
	Name recognition. Last year, a fire broke out at a Tesla battery unit in California.
	Another fire broke out operated by Danish renewables giant Orsted in Liverpool, UK in 2019.
	The same year, four U.S. firefighters were seriously injured by the explosion in Arizona that I talked about, the people who had to go to the hospital.
	Commonly caused by thermal runaway, one cell out of a million goes bad, and then the other million join it in a runaway.
	Meanwhile, the University of Texas at Austin, emerging hazards of battery energy storage system fires.
	And so, this is a known problem, known to government, just as the, you know, the Wildfire debris in the forest and everything is a known problem to them, and they're not going to do anything about it.
	It's really up to you. That's one of the things.
	When we moved to Texas the previous year that had big fires in Bastrop, Texas, there was a beautiful, evidently from what I heard, I saw it, it was burned down.
	But there had been a really nice area there.
	They called it Lost Pines.
	By the time we got there, the pines were lost.
	But it had been a project where they had planted a bunch of trees back during the make-work projects of FDR, and they'd gotten very mature and large, but of course the government did its usual non-maintenance now.
	And so they had a big fire, burned down a lot of that area.
	And you know, the funny thing about it was that when we moved there, The local government would say, you know, you need to make sure that you clear out dead bushes and trees underbrush because it'll start a fire.
	So you should do this on your property.
	But they don't do it on theirs, you see.
	They know it's a fire risk, and they'll warn you about doing it on your property, but they're not about to do it on their property.
	So, Carolus Rex, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. And Jody as well.
	Thank you. Jody says, when...
	Musk wore that satanic costume.
	Yeah, he's still wearing it on his profile picture, I think.
	I think it's still the same one.
	The Baphomet costume. And, you know, when it has the picture of the Baphomet bull with the horns or whatever, goat or whatever that thing is, you know, and the upside down cross to let you know, just in case you didn't pick that up, well, they put the cross upside down to let you know that it's a A satanic costume.
	When he wore that satanic costume, he was showing clearly where his allegiance lies.
	And when they show you who they are, you better believe them.
	Absolutely. Absolutely.
	John John. They're even shutting down hydroelectric power.
	Yeah, yeah. The emissions from hydroelectric power.
	Yeah. Well, you know, we know that the greenhouse gases are water.
	So, water vapor.
	So, maybe that's what they're trying to think of.
	Even shutting down hydroelectric power.
	Shutting down and demolishing hydroelectric dams that have been there for 100 years.
	So, the wildfire has fully adapted.
	Wildlife has fully adapted them.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Again, radical environmentalists.
	Always part of this. MJ. Musk bought Twitter not to restore free speech, but to control all speech.
	I agree. You know, besides his personal, burnishing his personal image, and, you know, again, most people don't really care that he wears a satanic costume.
	I mean, why doesn't he just get one of these old-style medieval Satan costumes, you know, with a red suit and the horns and a tail and everything, and put that on there?
	I mean, that would probably be even less alarming than what he's currently got.
	But, yeah, he wants to control all speech, and he wants to make a financial play.
	All of this calling, renaming it X. He wants to go back and do what he did before with PayPal, and this time not sell it, but keep it.
	Dickon Rockfin. You have to hand it to them.
	They found the solution to their nuclear waste disposal problem, put the depleted uranium in the ammunition, and shoot it at unfavored people.
	There you go. That's the way to recycle it.
	You just blow it up all over the country that you're at war with, whether it's Iraq or Ukraine or whatever.
	You just, you know, explode it out there.
	It does make a very effective weapon, and so do these Tesla battery storage sites.
	They make a very effective weapon for their agenda.
	And, yeah, John John said he didn't buy Twitter for a free speech platform.
	He bought it to turn it into what it will become, the UniApp, There'll be the clearinghouse for everything.
	Musk is a DARPA frontman.
	Yes, always has been. How do you become the richest man on earth?
	By doing exactly what every government wants him to do.
	He'll be servile to China.
	He'll be servile to EU on censorship.
	He'll be servile and work with DARPA. I mean, you know, this is the guy that they're relying on for launching stuff into space.
	Dickon Rockfin says Deep State will be prepping up the profits of the social media service providers to hide the fact that they can't be profitable if everyone is shadow banned and suspended and demonetized.
	Yeah. Well, again, for years it ran for free, right?
	Everything's free, come on in!
	And then they shut the gates and they turn on the gas, right?
	John John. Elon Musk is the quintessential lifetime actor.
	If anybody was cultivated to be the Pied Piper of the technocracy, it's him, Elon Musk.
	All of his comments to lure you in are well-crafted and deliberate.
	Exactly right. Exactly right.
	He's a master politician.
	He doesn't need to be president.
	He can get a lot more done for himself where he is now.
	And he can work for multiple governments, too.
	Brian Taylor. Musk didn't even invent the Tesla cars.
	He bought the company, then screwed them out of the country.
	I didn't know that, but that figures as well.
	Trevor Long. I love that David's tie always matches the video screen background.
	My wife puts a great deal of effort into that.
	She and her brother. So give her the credit for that.
	So thank you.
	Appreciate that. She works on that a lot.
	Narrowgate Ministries.
	It's all about the money, money for construction, money for storage, money for the logistics.
	It's all for the love of money, the root of all evil.
	Absolutely right. Yeah, we were warned about that.
	It's one of the reasons that Jesus talked so much about it.
	You know, just thinking about that yesterday, talking to Karen about it.
	You know, you look at the Sermon on the Mount, it talks about, you know, you can't serve two masters and You know, don't store up treasure for yourself on earth and, you know, all the rest of the stuff.
	And in the middle of all that is this thing about, you know, well, if the eye to the body is dark, then all of the body is dark.
	And I said, you know, you look at that, it's often broken out in a lot of different Bible translations as, you know, three or four different topics.
	But I said, it's all about the same thing.
	And he wraps it up and he says, you know, if your Heavenly Father takes care of the birds in the field, and if he clothes the flowers and all the rest of the stuff, he'll take care of you.
	So don't worry about that kind of stuff.
	He said to his audience, which is Jewish, he said, that's what the Gentiles worry about.
	You don't have to worry about that. You know who God is.
	But in the midst of all of that, He puts this other thing, and since they break these into like four different areas, it's like, is that a separate topic, talking about light and darkness in the eye?
	I said, no, I think, you know, when you look at it, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, you know, he's talking about, you know, you see stuff.
	When you look at television a lot, It makes you buy stuff, doesn't it?
	I mean, you can sit there and watch television and you start watching all these commercials about fast food and all of a sudden you get hungry and you run out and you buy this stuff that bugs won't even eat.
	They've got these McDonald's hamburgers that, you know, for decades, they've got a museum display of it, and it's like, nothing eats it.
	You know, there isn't any organism that wants to eat it.
	There was another video that came out I saw on Twitter.
	It was a Russian guy who had a pet bear, and he's got a hamburger, and he offers it to the pet bear, and the bear moves his head away.
	I don't want it. So then he pulls it off, and it's like, here, try the cheese.
	And he tries the meat, and the bear puts his paw up, like, go away, go away.
	The bear wouldn't eat it. The bacteria won't eat it.
	But if you sit there and you watch the commercials, guess what?
	You're going to want to eat it. It looks great.
	You see cars. No, we need another car.
	Oh, look at those new cars.
	That looks great. Or clothing or whatever.
	It's what you're focusing on with your eyes.
	And that's what Jesus was talking about.
	If you're focused on the things of this world and the materialism and all the rest of this stuff, how dark are you going to be on the inside if everything is what they're feeding you?
	And, you know, when you look at even your cell phone, you know, there's that series on Netflix, he called it Black Mirror, you know?
	You're looking at your phone all the time.
	You look at your phone, you look at the TV, and that is a dark light.
	That is filling your soul with dissatisfaction, discontent, coveting stuff that you don't have, that you can't afford, and all the rest of this stuff.
	That's what he was talking about.
	And it cultivates a love for that.
	And if you love it enough, you'll do almost anything to get it.
	The Root of All Evil.
	We'll be right back. Well,
	here in Tennessee, we have a special session that's being called, and the Republican governor here has called in the overwhelmingly Republican state legislature for a special session.
	And this was ostensibly to talk about red flag gun laws and other things like that.
	Now, there's been a back and forth in terms of what is on the books, but there's a lot of bills that have been introduced about guns in this special session.
	And I'm going to read some of that to you.
	But, you know, when you look at guns and crime, and that's what we're going to talk about in this segment here, The Democrats don't care about any crime except for guns.
	They don't care about any crime, but they want to make guns a crime.
	And it's not a crime to own guns.
	It's something that we need to do to protect ourselves from the chaos and the crime that the Democrats are creating here.
	And yet, we see Joe Biden is doing what many people are calling a backdoor violation of the Second Amendment.
	They have shut down 122 gun dealers.
	Over technicalities.
	I've talked about this in the past, but let me give you the statistics.
	This is actually from the Daily Mail, surprisingly.
	They hate guns.
	And yet, I guess maybe they're excited that the BATF under Merrick Garland has now found a way to shut down gun ownership.
	So they shut down 122 gun dealers in the fiscal year that began last October.
	We're only 10 months into this year.
	And so when you look at the previous year, they shut down 90.
	And that was a new record.
	The ATF, since they started keeping records, never revoked more than 81 dealers' licenses in a year.
	And they did 90 in the previous fiscal year that ended October of last year.
	In 2021, they only shut down 27.
	The Biden administration was just getting started.
	And then the next year, they shut down 90.
	This year, they shut down 122 and we're only 10 months into the year.
	They are going after lawful gun dealers who in the past, if they had a paperwork error, they would write them up and they'd give them a fine.
	And now they're just taking their entire license.
	Because this is about prohibition.
	And, you know, when we look at this, and we'll get into what's happening in Tennessee in a moment, but just take a look first at what is happening with the revoking of licenses.
	The previous system of issuing warnings rather than revoking licenses was what they had focused on.
	A retired deputy assistant director said, gun dealers were our first line of defense against gun trafficking, so why are we now beating an ally into submission?
	But the Biden director of the ATF, Steve Dettelbach, doesn't see it that way.
	He sees gun stores as the enemy.
	Because, you know, as far as he's concerned, anyone who owns a gun is the enemy.
	Anybody who owns a gun is a de facto criminal.
	They have to be stopped. But these criminal gangs that are roving around and, you know, whether it's a drug war or whether it's the massive looting that is happening in California, they're not a problem.
	Not a problem at all. We've taken steps, said Steve Dettelbach, to hold accountable those few dealers who are engaging in these willful violations.
	Okay, and whose opinion are they willful?
	He says they're willful violations.
	These are mistakes from some of these people.
	Do you get due process?
	No. This is what bureaucratic rule looks like.
	He says, well, we've got rules, and if you violate those rules, we're saying that you're doing it willfully, and so we're now going to take your entire license.
	There's no due process.
	When you operate under bureaucratic rules rather than laws enacted by your elected representatives, this is what regulation without representation looks like.
	And that's why I said the bureaucratic form of government that we've got now, where Congress has abdicated its authority for lawmaking, has turned it over, abdicated this to the bureaucracy, And one example of this is Anthony Navarro.
	He lost his license last year after getting three earlier warnings since 2009.
	Okay, so over a period of 13 years, he got three warnings.
	Then they find one piece of paperwork or whatever, now you're gone under the new rules, quote-unquote, of the Biden administration.
	What are the Republicans going to do about this?
	Nothing. Nothing at all.
	You know, Jim Jordan might hold some hearings so he can get his face on Fox News.
	That's it. They'll do nothing about this.
	Seriously. So I say, focus on state and local stuff.
	He still sells firearms accessories at his store in Colorado.
	He says, we used to make a million dollars a year.
	That'd be their gross revenue.
	Would they be able to afford employees and things like that and pay their rent and buy their supplies?
	Now he says we're making $100,000.
	They're going to be out of business. Took 90% of their revenue.
	He says this policy is designed to be a backdoor violation of the Second Amendment.
	Exactly. You know, we talk about nullification all the time, don't we?
	Nullification is a peaceful way to stop the federal government and these out-of-control bureaucracies.
	But understand that the bureaucracies themselves use nullification.
	You see, the ATF is nullifying, quietly nullifying the Second Amendment with these types of actions.
	Well, you've got a paperwork violation, and I say that that paperwork violation is willful.
	Prove that it's not willful.
	Same type of stuff, that same kind of arrogance, the lack of innocent until proven guilty, the lack of due process that we've seen from the IRS for the longest time.
	It's now metastasized into all of these agencies.
	And the bureaucracies know how to nullify the Constitution.
	They do it all the time.
	And that's what this is really about.
	My son said they don't want law-abiding people owning guns.
	Only criminal gangs, especially the criminal gangs with the three-letter names.
	Yeah, you're exactly right.
	My other son is filling in for Travis today.
	Travis's birthday is today.
	We're giving him the day off.
	I want to thank somebody who sent him a birthday card over the weekend.
	We got it. Thank you very much.
	And I've got a tip on Rumble.
	Thank you very much, RCF2020. It says Nixon once said the American people won't believe anything until they see it on TV. Well, that's absolutely true.
	Yeah. ATF's director says the quiet part out loud when he calls this a privilege as part of that statement where he said, well, you know, these people are engaging in willful misconduct.
	By whose opinion?
	That's his opinion. Does he have to prove it in court?
	No. You have no due process.
	No presumption of innocence.
	And so...
	As part of that statement, the next thing he said was, they're not going to have the privilege of being a gun dealer anymore.
	So, everything is a privilege granted to you by the bureaucracy.
	You have no due process, no presumption of innocence if they don't like what you're doing.
	And so, this article from American Thinker, He points out that Merrick Garland in June of 2021 announced a new gun crime prevention strategy which focused on federal firearm licenses businesses.
	And he had a long list of offenses that would get your license revoked now.
	Refusal to allow an industry operation investigator to conduct an inspection, he said.
	Or transferring a firearm to a prohibited person.
	So, in other words, they can come in and search your property without a warrant.
	And if you have an issue with that, well, I'll just take your license.
	Failing to conduct a required background check.
	Falsifying records. Failing to respond to a trace request.
	And the article in American Thinker says, well, you know, aside from the fact the ATF has absolutely no right to exist.
	And again, I would say they have no authority to exist.
	The Constitution, the federal government especially, is prohibited from infringing on our right to keep and bear arms.
	That means around the edges even.
	You know, the fringy parts of this.
	And they're not around the edges anymore.
	They're going to the heart of the issue.
	They're going to the people that you would buy your guns from.
	They know, they have one of the worst reputations of the more than 438 federal agencies.
	These federal agencies are all under the president.
	All 438 of these agencies that we call the deep swamp were under the control of President Trump.
	He didn't do anything except in the case of, you know, several of these he made things worse.
	With the ATF he said, by the way, I'm going to let you Do gun control.
	We'll do gun control by executive order.
	I'll put the order out. You guys can write the new rule and we can prohibit entire classes of things out there.
	That was a new thing that was done by Trump.
	Forget about the due process.
	Forget about the due process of the red flag laws as well.
	So just because the ATF calls their unreasonable searches and seizures a request or a compliance It doesn't make it so.
	So, he said, again, you know, we're not going to let you have the privilege of being a gun dealer anymore.
	This is Joe Biden's ATF director, Dettelbach.
	And so, again, you know, somebody needs to remind the Biden regime that rights come from God.
	Well, you know what? It was Trump who did that as well.
	As a matter of fact, Trump gave the ATF all new powers.
	The powers that they're assuming here should have been taken away from them.
	They should have been shut down. Isn't it interesting that nobody talks about shutting down the ATF? You've even got a lot of people, you know, Ramaswamy's talking, well, we need to get rid of the IRS. And I think DeSantis said that, you know, change the way that we do internal taxes or whatever.
	But nobody's talking about getting rid of the ATF. And of course, Trump weaponized them in new ways, a new precedent of that.
	But we won't talk about that.
	We'll just talk about Biden because people get angry if you talk about Trump.
	And they get angry if you don't talk about directed energy weapons, I guess, as well.
	But an IRS agent was accidentally killed in a training exercise as he was practicing, as my son said, as he was practicing to kill taxpayers.
	They're ramping up evidently.
	They're hiring IRS agents so rapidly, they don't have time to train them safely.
	In the same way that they're screwing up our energy system so rapidly, they don't have time to pay any attention to the safety, right?
	We don't have time to look at the safety of the vaccine.
	We don't have time to look at the safety of your electric grid and whether or not these power plants, these solar farms and wind farms, are they going to work?
	I don't know. Are the storage systems going to burn down?
	I don't know. We don't have time for that.
	And we don't have time. We're going to hire all these IRS agents and put them out there.
	And so we don't really have time to do it the right way.
	This is on a federal gun range that this happened.
	Maybe somebody should shut down this federal gun range.
	Maybe somebody should report The IRS's federal gun range to the ATF and have the ATF shut down the IRS range for not following safety procedure.
	You think we should do that? Because this person was killed.
	Killed. Shot and killed.
	Freedom or death, 1776.
	Thank you for the tip. Academy Sports has now stopped selling AR-15 rifles.
	Wow. Wow.
	That's interesting.
	I didn't realize that.
	That was the other one that was doing it all the time.
	Which one? Yeah, Dix.
	Dix. That's right. Double entendre.
	Dix has been on that for the longest time.
	And Dix was even spending corporate profits that they make when you buy stuff from them.
	You buy some camping gear from them.
	Well, they're going to take those profits and they're going to use it to hire gun lobbyists to take away your Second Amendment rights.
	And Dix stopped doing that a long time ago.
	So now Academy is doing that.
	Well, you know, that's what happens when you get Wall Street companies out there.
	But, see, the small people are not essential.
	Right? The small federal firearm licenses, they're not essential.
	We need to have the big Wall Street sporting goods stores.
	That's the way they all work.
	We've detailed how the IRS chief reveals a hiring plan for armed agents and has flushed out their $80 billion in new funding provided by the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act.
	But of course, they're not going to get $80 billion.
	The Republicans have cut it to $60 billion.
	When the entire budget right now of the IRS is $13 billion, they're going to give them an increase, an increase of $60 billion.
	They're not taking the budget up to $60 billion.
	They're going to give them an additional $60 billion.
	So Democrats want to make the IRS, what was it, seven times bigger or something?
	And the Republicans say, no, only five times bigger.
	So they've got a lot of hiring to do, and they don't have time to do this safely.
	In June, armed IRS agents conducted a Soviet-style intimidation raid of a gun store in Montana, and they've also worked together, the IRS and the ATF, To grab all kinds of paperwork that legally they're not supposed to take away.
	You know, the records that they have of gun purchases are supposed to stay there in that store.
	But the IRS went in and grabbed that stuff along with...
	And they were doing a joint raid with the IRS as well.
	On May 4th of this year, White Bart News pointed out that the IRS has spent $10 million on firearms, ammunition, and military-style gear since 2020.
	So it's Trump as well.
	Because he was president in 2020.
	They spent $2.3 million on ammunition, about a half million on Smith& Wesson rifles, about another half million on duty tactical lighting, another half million on tactical shotguns, $267,000 on ballistic helmets, a quarter of a million on body armor vests.
	You know, it was, and I remember years and years ago, the weaponized bureaucracy against us.
	I remember the Washington Post questioning at one point when it was a novelty to have SWAT teams.
	You know, this is back in the early 1990s.
	And they said, the Department of Education's got a SWAT team, and the Department of Education's buying body armor and all the rest of this.
	What are they going to do with this? And it wasn't very long.
	Before you read a report, there was a report where a delinquent student loan, the Department of Education, went around and SWAT teamed this family.
	And the wee hours in the morning at oh dark 30, they hit the house and they pull out the father and the kids and they put the father face down on the ground with guns to his head.
	Where's the wife?
	She's the one who took out the loan and she left the family.
	She's no longer living there.
	She abandoned the family. She wasn't paying back her loan.
	They got SWAT teamed by the Department of Education.
	And so, yeah, this is something that is everywhere.
	The deep state is not just a nuisance.
	It's a real threat. But somebody who is a nuisance is Gavin Newsom.
	We call him, my son calls him grabbing nuisance.
	That's the way I describe him.
	He is now calling for a constitutional convention to amend the Second Amendment.
	And I find this very interesting.
	Because when he puts together what he wants to change the Second Amendment to...
	You realize that these people know they don't have the constitutional authority under the Second Amendment to do what they want to do.
	They've got to change the Second Amendment.
	Listen to this. We want to affirm that the...
	Oh, thank you, Super Faye.
	Thank you very much. That is really kind.
	Happy birthday, Travis, and a very generous gift there on Rumble.
	It's not Rumble, right? I'll give that to him.
	Make sure he gets that. Thank you so much.
	So, they want to amend the Constitution, right?
	And think about this. This is an admission that they don't have these powers.
	At the very best, they think they're a gray area, okay?
	And so this is why they want to change it with a constitutional convention.
	They want to say that we're going to affirm that federal, state, and local governments may adopt public safety regulations limiting aspects of firearm acquisition, possession, public carry, and use by individuals.
	So that means that they don't have that power right now.
	If they want to amend the Second Amendment, then grab in nuisance and the rest of these nuisance Democrats understand that the federal, state, and local governments don't have the power to adopt public safety regulations to limit aspects of firearm purchasing, possession, public carry, and use.
	You don't have that. And of course, if you read the text, you understand that you know that they don't have it as well, right?
	But they know it as well.
	They know they don't have that power.
	The second one, same thing.
	Affirm that such regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment because they're not consistent with the Second Amendment.
	They want to amend the Second Amendment because it is prohibiting all the stuff they want to do.
	To impose universal background checks.
	To set the minimum wage.
	To purchase firearms at 21.
	To impose a minimum waiting period.
	To ban private possession of whatever they call assault weapons and other weapons of war.
	Yeah. And of course this has no chance whatsoever of a passing.
	But just remember, they have very dangerous demagogues like Mark Levin who's trying to push for constitutional amendment.
	He says, oh yeah, we'll use it only to balance the budget.
	That opens up this Pandora's box of people like Nusance and other Democrats doing this.
	You want to balance the budget?
	Well, you've got elected representatives now who could balance the budget if they wanted to.
	And these are the same people who are going to be in the Constitutional Convention, the same people who don't have the willpower to balance the budget, would be putting in a balanced budget amendment.
	And what else would they do?
	You see, I don't trust some new, you know, we don't have a problem.
	The Constitution doesn't have a problem.
	We've got a politician problem.
	We've got a backbone problem.
	We've got a willpower problem.
	We've got a subordination to the Constitution problem.
	We don't have a problem with the Constitution.
	We have a problem in that it's not been tried.
	Not in our generation, anyway.
	And, of course, as Newsom is a nuisance, Is looking at Joe Biden and kind of wondering what's going on.
	By the way, this is the latest thing from Joe Biden.
	He was absolutely not there.
	Look at this. Politely ask the press to leave.
	Thank you for coming in.
	You see that? I mean, he's got this blank stare, and he says, politely ask the press to leave.
	Thank you for coming in. He's reading the teleprompter, and he doesn't even know.
	He doesn't even have the presence of mind to say, well, thank you, to do what it says.
	He just reads the script out loud.
	And so, grabbing nuisance is looking at this and biding his time for his shot at the golden ring.
	But as this article from Politico points out, his future really hinges on San Francisco.
	San Francisco is a mess, and so is much of the rest of California.
	And I talked last week about the planned zombie tour, or something like that they called it, where they You know, they're going to take you on an escorted tour to see the drugged-out, run-down places of San Francisco because they're just unbelievable.
	And this is a person who has been fighting it for many decades.
	And he's going to be showing you, you know, what these policies have resulted in.
	That's what Gavin Newsom's going to be running against.
	He's not going to be running against DeSantis, regardless of who the Republican nominee is, if it's not Trump.
	He's not going to be running against Trump or anybody else if he takes Biden's place.
	He's going to be running against his record there in San Francisco and in California.
	So, you know, when we look at what these people...
	And why do we need to have guns?
	Well, it's because of the kinds of stuff that you see happening in California.
	The massive organized crime.
	Grocery stores are shutting down.
	And they're saying in some of these neighborhoods, they're going to become food deserts.
	Not desserts, but deserts where you can't purchase any food because the grocery stores are going to shut down.
	They're stealing everything out of the grocery store.
	Then they're going into luxury stores.
	In a real organized crime thing.
	They've even got uniforms. You know, they're all wearing the same color uniform, I guess, so that they know, you know, they're on the same team.
	And they're going in and doing these massive programs of theft.
	How long is it going to be before they start doing home invasions and before they start going into the suburbs and other things like that?
	This is why we need to have the ability, the God-given right, to protect ourselves.
	As the Democrats are literally burning everything down.
	And then there's this.
	We see that there's a lot of different groups that are hated.
	We've got attacks on synagogues, and we've got attacks on churches, and we've got attacks on this person, this group and that group.
	You need to be able to defend yourself from this.
	Here's one example out of Austria.
	They now have, and this is when it gets really dangerous, it's not the first generation of people who come into a country.
	They may be poor in comparison to everybody else, but they understand how bad the situation was.
	Maybe it was in Civil War.
	Maybe it was just grinding poverty or whatever.
	But, you know, the parents, when they get to the new country, it's like, okay, well, you know, these other people have it a lot better, but, hey, you know, we're here, and it's certainly a lot better than where we came from.
	But then the next generation that comes up, born in that country, They look at this and they say, well, the kids that I go to school with, they're a lot wealthier than me.
	They're no different from me.
	I speak the same language that they do.
	I'm not speaking this original language or whatever.
	And they get really resentful about the fact that they're not better off.
	And they become, in many cases, weaponized against this.
	And that's where you have a lot of the terrorism.
	And in Austria, this is what is happening with two kids, 15, 16, two teens, born in Austria, integrated into the culture in Austria.
	And, of course, it doesn't help that the Western schools are now telling everybody that their countries are bad.
	Right? They're not telling these teens, well, you know, this is what's special about Austria, what's special about America, and, you know, here's our culture, and this is why things are better here than they were in other places.
	But, you know, you've got a lot of different groups that hate, you know, Christians or anyone for different reasons.
	And it's not just the Muslims, it's also the LGBT. When we're talking about what's happening in Tennessee, that It's LGBT tyranny, tranny tyranny that is happening there.
	And so this 15 and 16-year-old had plans to massacre, quote, as many people as possible during an attack on a middle school attended by the 15-year-old in Austria.
	And that's the quote from them.
	When confronted in court, the boys, who both have a history of violence and criminality, admitted that, quote, we wanted to shoot all the Christians in the class.
	Asked how they would have responded if police had intervened, they said, well, we would have surrendered, adding that Allah would have forgiven them in prison, since killing Christians takes us to paradise.
	And already in Vienna, they've had a lot of violence, attacks against non-Muslims there by these new immigrants.
	One part of Vienna now is run by North Africans.
	Another part is run by Afghans.
	Crime, including sex crime, is surging and police appear to be responding in the wrong way after a 20-year-old Austrian woman waiting at a bus stop in Vienna was attacked immediately.
	Beaten and robbed by four Muslim men, including one who started by putting his hands through my hair and made it clear that in his cultural background there were hardly any blonde women.
	That's how it began. He starts by doing that.
	Oh, yeah, I like your blonde hair.
	And then they attack her, beat her, and rob her.
	She reports it to the police. What did the police say?
	They told her to dye her hair.
	Wow. Wow.
	That is what we come to expect of the police in many of these cases.
	So again, when you look at what is happening in Newsom's, California, and it's not just there.
	It's also in Washington, D.C., where you have a major supermarket there.
	It has 165 different locations.
	They're having to spend $300,000 on security.
	But they still have a half a million dollars in losses.
	They said, we're going to have to shut this down.
	And in bad neighborhoods, we're going to wind up not having any grocery stores at all.
	Gunmen robbed six L.A. taco trucks and stands in the latest string of robberies in L.A. Also, Newsom.
	The flash mob that invade luxury L.A. retailers of brute force.
	This was in a Nordstrom.
	And they said, 30 masked robbers, both men and women, went into the Canoga Park store, immediately heading for top-dollar purses and clothes racks and jewels.
	The sound of glass displays thrown onto the ground sounded like gunshots, said a Nordstrom employee, who had a clear line of sight of the robbery.
	She told customers to run into a back room in case the robbery got violent.
	The thieves snatched designer items undeterred by chains and cables.
	Shelving was yanked apart.
	Some dragged display cabinets still attached to high-priced accessories toward the store doors.
	The employee said it was awful to watch.
	But she was not authorized to comment about the robbery.
	You see, we just have to accept this.
	In Governor Grabbin Nuisance's California, and if you want a gun to protect yourself, You're not going to be allowed to get that.
	That's what the Democrats are doing to us.
	We'll be right back. Analyzing
	The Globalist Next Moon.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	you you Well, as I was talking earlier in the show about these battery storage systems that are, you know, setting the stage for massive arson throughout our country, as well as power blackouts and brownouts, massive power bills and all the rest of the stuff.
	That's part of the globalist agenda that is there.
	But today they began the special session that the Republican governor here, Governor Lee, wanted to call in response to the Nashville shooting where he had a mentally deranged transgender go in and shoot nine-year-old kids in the face.
	The guns are the problem, though.
	The guns are the problem. We're not allowed to see the manifesto of the killer.
	The guns are the problem. I talked to Senator Nicely.
	Again, the session begins today.
	He said in the last 25 years here in Tennessee, there have been 12 kids killed in the last 25 years.
	He said there's more kids dying from pretty much anything that you can imagine.
	Any kind of drowning or anything like that.
	And he said anything that they do there is going to be a major win for the Tennessee Three.
	The people who have fronted that insurrection, a real insurrection, if you will.
	I mean, if January the 6th was an insurrection, oh, this is much worse.
	They got their hands on legislators.
	They're pushing and shoving legislators.
	They're pushing and shoving state troopers.
	Who did not escalate this situation because they didn't put on body armor and start beating people.
	They used their bodies to try to shield the legislators as much as possible, but they got pushed and shoved.
	And then you had the Tennessee Three who took over the floor and screamed through the bullhorn about gun control.
	And the response of the Republican governor was to hold a special session to put in some gun control.
	And so he told me, he said that he and pretty much the other legislators that he's talked to are just going to go there, quietly sit through it and vote no on everything.
	Because he said, you know, there's some good bills, there's some bad bills.
	But you don't want to rush into any of this stuff, right?
	What happens? It's always the same thing, isn't it?
	Well, you know, we've got to do Operation Warp Speed.
	There's no time to get this thing right.
	We don't have time to test it to see if it works.
	We don't have time to test it to see if it's safe.
	We've got to shut down all of our power plants.
	We don't have time to see if these replacements work.
	We don't have time to see if they're safe.
	We don't even have time to see if they're green by our own standards.
	No, we've just got to change everything.
	When you have a situation and somebody's trying to sell you a car, or they're trying to sell you a piece of jewelry, or a piece of like, oh, the deal is today.
	You've got to... This is a...
	This is a limited-time offer.
	You've got to do it today. You've got to pull the trigger.
	You've got to buy it now. Buy it now.
	If you wait, the price is going to go up.
	It's going to be too late.
	If somebody starts pulling that on you, you walk away, don't you?
	If you're an adult, you've seen that game played over and over again.
	This is what they do all the time.
	There's no time for us to consider this legislation.
	You've just got to do it today. The appropriate response is what Senator Nicely was saying.
	You're going to vote no on everything.
	We'll be back in January.
	You got an idea for a bill?
	Give it to us then. We'll have time to look at it.
	We're not going to be goaded into making a decision one way or the other.
	Even these bills that on the surface look like they are good, they might have some buried details in there that you don't see because they're going to try to rush this thing through.
	And they've got a long list of bills.
	I've got a list here that's put together by Colby Mayer.
	And it is amazing how many things are on this list, how many different bills they have there.
	We'll take a look at a couple of them, but before I do, real quickly, Flower Sower, thank you very much for the tip, for the gift for Travis.
	Happy birthday, Travis.
	Well, thank you very much. May you know afresh the blessings of the Lord today.
	Well, thank you. That's really kind.
	On an Audi MRR, a modern retro radio.
	Thank you for the tip.
	He says, busy Monday, so I'll just say this.
	Whatever government says, they're lying.
	That's right. Thank you, Audi.
	So when we look at these bills, again, Mr.
	Mayor put together a list of them.
	And he had the best bills by bill number among those that were filed before yesterday.
	Because who knows what they're going to introduce at the very last minute here.
	And of course these things are last minute stuff anyway.
	Special session. The other thing Senator Nicely didn't talk about, but other people have mentioned it.
	They're very concerned that there's going to be more marginal threats of violence or pushing and shoving or whatever else by this mob.
	When we talk about the Trump Civil War, they're trying to gin up on both sides.
	And I said, you know, you look at this and you've got about 20% of the population of the U.S. is willing to go to war over Trump, 7% to get him into office, and 11% to stop him.
	There's more people who are prone to violence on the left.
	And that's what they're concerned about.
	It's been a real concerted effort by leftist organizations to get people to come in from all over the United States to harass these legislators after the Republican governor calls them in for a special session on this.
	And grabbing nuisance is going to be coming in.
	I think on Wednesday, the Democrat Party is bringing in nuisance, governor nuisance, to make a speech because, you know, that way he can piggyback on the gun issue and all the rest of this stuff.
	So here's some of the bills that are there in his brief description.
	One of them, to create an active shooter alarm, distinguishably different from a fire alarm.
	He says this could actually save lives.
	Another one that's good, allows daycare facilities to decide whether they want to allow or hire armed security, because currently it's a felony for anybody except on-duty law enforcement to protect a daycare facility.
	Another one, to allow enhanced handgun carry permit holders to carry handguns on school property unless the school provides armed security on the premises.
	Another one, to allow law enforcement officers on or off duty, retired or active, veterans or enhanced handgun carry permit holders.
	It says probably the most effective bill to protect schools and prevent future mass shootings.
	However, I would agree with Senator Nicely.
	If you're going to rush this thing through, Vote no on everything.
	These are good bills.
	There'll be time to pass them in January.
	Like you said, over the past 25 years, we've had 12 kids who've been killed, who've been shot and killed.
	This is not an emergency session, and it should not be rushed.
	Even these bills that appear to be good bills could be very bad bills.
	And then there's a lot of dangerous ones.
	I mean, you know, we're looking at, there are dozens of bills that they're trying to rush through here.
	To vote on. And most of these things were introduced at the last minute.
	And there'll be new ones that'll be introduced today.
	Here's one calling for a lifetime order of protection against people.
	Lifetime orders of protection mean permanent loss of all firearms rights.
	This comment, this is effectively a red flag.
	Another one. DNA collection for all felony arrests.
	As he points out, a person's DNA is more than just a fingerprint.
	It's a blueprint for your entire body containing information about heritable diseases as well as all kinds of personal information.
	Grabbing and collecting this kind of information should not be taken lightly.
	He says, in addition, any officer can make an arrest for anything.
	An arrest does not mean the person actually committed an offense.
	So again, you're going to get all of this stuff grabbed.
	They're going to have your blueprint of your body grabbed just for arresting you.
	Doesn't mean that you've done anything wrong.
	To create a felony, here's another bill, to create a felony offense of recklessness by means of communication, making certain threats, creating a requirement for a defendant to undergo psychiatric evaluation.
	So, he says it's just a matter of time before this bill would be used to silence conservatives, Christians, people who refuse to participate in medical experiments, people who refuse to take the jab or wear the mask or anything else, right?
	If you are somebody, I think you're crazy, just like the Soviet Union did.
	You don't agree with the government on whatever the narrative of the day is?
	Well, then I guess you are crazy.
	We know how this will be weaponized.
	We've lived through this for the last couple of years.
	Another one. To require courts to report mental health determinations about minors for entry into the NICS database.
	He says, so if, you know, you're a kid and you say that you've got suicidal thoughts or you're concerned about something that is happening, well, then this is going to be on your permanent record and you would never Be able to own a firearm because of something that they mess with you about.
	But of course, we're not going to do that for trainees.
	That doesn't indicate any mental illness whatsoever.
	Just like we're not allowed to see the manifesto of this trainee killer.
	My son says we have a right to privacy in our person and our papers.
	Yeah, your person, your DNA. They've gone after the papers for a long time.
	Now they're coming after your person in the most personal way.
	That's very good. I agree.
	Yeah. Your identity papers, please.
	How about your DNA identity?
	Yeah. The blueprint for you.
	God's papers, if you will.
	Another one. To create a felony offense.
	I'm sorry, I just read that one.
	What it does require a court to report mental health determinations from minors for entry into this.
	So that's another one to require the report of it.
	It could render people who had suicidal thoughts as children ineligible as adults.
	There's two bills that are variations of that.
	Two of them are that. The Democrats have been busy.
	Real busy. They're in the minority, but they're very busy.
	Another one, to comply with the dangerous gun-free zone laws in Tennessee.
	If a person is lawfully carrying a firearm, it is often forced to disarm and to rearm while in their motor vehicle.
	This is the type of thing that we've seen for the longest time.
	You know, well, if you're within 1,000 feet of school or some other facility where they don't allow it, some government facility or whatever, oh, well, you're not allowed to carry guns here, so it's a tripwire.
	You know, cop pulls you over within a thousand feet of a school.
	Oh, well, you know, you're out on the road driving in your car, but hey, you're within a thousand feet of the school, so you're in violation of that.
	So this is an effort to ramp this up.
	Another one encourages lawful owners and possessors of firearms to store guns safely in a locked compartment with trigger locking device.
	Well, that sounds like a suggestion, right?
	Except, as he points out, this is a Trojan horse.
	This serves as a stepping stone to put language in the code that will never be removed.
	Passing this bill will also be a victory for the Tennessee Three and their methods.
	By the way, this particular guy who introduced this thing, there's a Democrat out of Nashville.
	His name is Freeman. He's got his name on at least five of these bills.
	But look at how many of these things there are.
	I mean, it just goes on for page after page.
	I won't hit you with all of the details of every one of these, but you're starting to get an idea of this.
	But I've got five pages of small print about these different bills.
	This is the kind of...
	This is, if you want to think about it, it's very much like the smash-and-grab tactics that Newsom has okayed in California for people to go into stores and take their stuff.
	This is a smash-and-grab on our God-given rights and the rule of law, and the Second Amendment especially.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	We'll be right back. You're
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, we have just a few minutes left, so I'm not going to get into the overall news.
	I just want to hit a lot of different letters that were sent on topics other than the Hawaiian fires.
	And I wanted to touch on some of those.
	And thank some people who have just subscribed on Subscribestar.
	I appreciate that.
	And quick comments that they made.
	One person says, it's my contribution.
	If this works, I'll regularly use a gift card.
	I now follow the Ramsey method.
	Where you're not going to put money on a credit card, you use it on a gift card.
	So David Ramsey, talking about that, not going into debt.
	Another person, thank you very much.
	That's very kind, Mario.
	And said, a cup of coffee.
	Thank you and your family for what you do.
	That's very kind.
	That will get us several cups of coffee.
	So I appreciate that. Thank you very much.
	Brazil. It's rolling out of CBDC. This is coming from Mark, and I got to meet Mark when I was up in New York speaking at one of Gerald's peace rallies that he had up there.
	And Brazil has just very, very quickly, as activist post headline says, and just like that, Brazil goes live with CBDC. And just like that is the same way that it's going to happen to us as well.
	And I want you to see this because we have disinformation that's being put out by the mainstream media, by the Federal Reserve itself, saying FedNow is not a CBDC. We would never do this quickly.
	We would never do it without permission from the federal government, from the Congress and so forth.
	It's like, yeah, right. That's exactly what they did in Brazil.
	In Brazil, they had what was equivalent to the wholesale version, And for the longest time, we've seen the mainstream media itself talking about how they have it in the planning stage.
	They show a map of the world, and it's virtually every single country is in one step of this, one phase of this.
	So they might be in the planning stage.
	They might be in feasibility studies.
	They might have rolled out a wholesale version of it.
	And they might have implemented a retail version of it.
	And pretty much every country falls into one of those four areas.
	And so in Brazil, the central bank announced the introduction of a CBDC they call the DREX. It's an acronym for the digital real.
	Their currency is the real.
	It looks like real, but it's the Rial.
	Electronic X, they say.
	X, is it? Are they doing something with Elon Musk?
	The digital Rial Electronic X. The logo reveals that the project is, in fact, quite advanced.
	They say, D-REX is coming to facilitate the life of Brazilians with a new face.
	Our central bank digital currency project, created and operated by the Brazilian central bank, has its own name.
	Previously called the Real Digital, it will provide a safe, regulated environment for new businesses and more democratic access to the benefits of digitalization of the economy for citizens.
	Now, that's what we all want, isn't it?
	Yeah, we all want to be digitized, identified, as the prisoner said.
	Stamped, indexed, debriefed, and numbered, right?
	I will not be any of those things, thank you.
	So, yeah, my son says they promise they'll give us plenty of warning about FedNow.
	Ignore the name. It just sounded nice, yeah.
	FedNow. It's not now.
	It's really not now. It's at some point in the future, but it's not now.
	Why are you calling it FedNow?
	And the next thing that follows it is FedCoin.
	They've already named it. But of course, they're not going to do it, right?
	Geesebusters, thank you very much.
	I have a gift for Travis.
	I appreciate that. That's very generous.
	Happy birthday, Travis, he says.
	Thank you, Geesebusters. Appreciate it.
	They should call it Fed later.
	How about we call it Fed Up?
	Fed Up with all of these lies.
	So, they said it's based on the blockchain technology, of course, and they say it's actually a tokenized real, regulated by the central bank.
	That's what each and every CBDC being developed at the moment is all about.
	I'm not an expert, says the writer here at Activist Post, but how exactly will that work?
	It's not clear to me at the moment. I mean, it will be a one-to-one value, but the transaction has a fee, however nominal.
	Imagine the cumulative effect of millions of transactions.
	Yeah, isn't that nice? They set this thing up and they got a small fee.
	Let's say, you know, a penny, right?
	You get really rich getting a penny off of every time somebody gives somebody else money, right?
	It really does stack up.
	You can see one of the reasons why they'd like to do that.
	Cash has been under attack for a while, and it's only getting worse.
	As mentioned in the press release, Brazil already has a direct electronic instant payment system.
	It's called PIX, P-I-X. And it was created and operated by the Brazilian Central Bank.
	In other words, like FedNow.
	The PIX system cuts out the middleman, just like FedNow can do, right?
	And just like the eventual FedCoin will do.
	Right now, what they're saying is with FedNow, we're going to use the retail banks and so forth.
	But in Brazil, they cut the retail banks out.
	It's the same pattern that they're going to have here.
	Exactly the same pattern.
	Brian Taylor, FedNow's introduction.
	Infrastructure to send CBD personal to person.
	And that's right.
	Absolutely. And they're getting information on people as well.
	But they're also setting up a system that is going to eventually kick out the individual banks.
	That's all the time we have today.
	folks, thank you for joining us.
	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.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
