Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 28th of August, year of our Lord, 2023.
Well, we're going to begin with the ramping up, as we've got a lot of testimony coming in from people in hospitals and other places talking about just how fraudulent this is.
This revival of the mask.
We've got Biden talking about doing a new vaccine.
They've now shut down one aspect of vaccine injury reporting, which was being more widely used than VAERS. A former person who is a high-ranking official in the FDA is calling foul on that.
What is happening with this?
How are we going to respond? And who is behind it?
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
And, of course, I talked to Tradcat Knight on Thursday, and we talked about it briefly.
The fact that they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
They're using the names of Greek and Roman mythological characters to tell you what they're doing.
It's amazing.
And, of course, even when Omicron came out, A lot of people said, well, this is Omicron, besides being a letter in the Greek alphabet, was also a Greek and Roman mythological character sowing discord.
And Eris is his daughter.
So they said at the time, oh, no, no, it's simply a Greek letter.
And we had to skip over Chi, X-I, because it looks too much like Shi.
We don't want to associate this with China.
We don't want to call it the China bug, or the China, the Wu flu, or the China virus, or anything like that.
So, all of this stuff.
But names actually do mean something, and these people are trying to tell us something, I think.
Again, when we look at Eris, as Handy points out, the Greek goddess of strife and discord.
The Roman name for Eris was Discordia.
Can't be any more obvious than that.
So let's go with a Greek one, right?
And, of course, she was always depicted in their stories as opposing Victoria.
Victory. The Roman goddess, you know, representing victory.
In Greek, that was called Nike.
Not the shoe, but if the shoe fits, wear it, right?
Yeah, Nike was, I think the story goes that they used that for their For their shoes as going back to marathon, which was a Greek battle.
It wasn't a race. But he ran a long, long distance.
So we call that a marathon race now.
And when he got back there to tell them what had happened, he told them that they'd won Nike and then died.
And so that's the way that story goes.
Now, the Greek mythology about Eris Is that as the goddess of discord, she began the Trojan War.
Well, maybe this whole thing is a Trojan horse.
Maybe we should get some ivermectin for the Trojan horse, right?
How appropriate, says Handy, that they openly plot against us and they delight in the bloodshed brought by Pharmakia in this COVID war.
Yeah. Exactly, because she was often portrayed, as he writes, more specifically as the demon of the strife of war, haunting the battlefield and delighting in human bloodshed.
So, when we look at, again, going back to when this all happened, at the end of November 2021, You had emails that were being passed back and forth,
not emails, but WhatsApp text messages that have now been exposed from Matt Hancock in the UK. And in this, he was scheming about how they were going to stop Boris Johnson from declaring a five-day moratorium on these lockdown rules and all this stuff, which Matt Hancock had flagrantly violated, and ultimately that was discovered.
And he did it for an adulterous affair, even though he was the guy putting out all the rules.
And in these WhatsApp messages, we saw that he was mocking people and laughing about that.
But he also, in these messages, they said, well, we've got to stop Boris Johnson from, you know, even giving people five days off for Christmas with this nonsense, which they knew wasn't working.
And they were laughing, oh, I'd like to see what it's like for these people who get locked up for a couple weeks, or whatever the period of time was after they come back into the country.
But he wrote in the messages, we need to frighten the pants off of everyone.
Was that why he took his pants off?
Was he frightened? I don't know.
Anyway, we need to frighten the pants off of everyone.
When do we deploy the new variant?
And that was what it was for.
So, again, going back to Omicron.
The Greek god who was unhappy when people lived in peace.
Today we call that, in the UK, they call that god Matt Hancock, right?
When they were working harmoniously together to maximize their collective well-being and happiness.
Again, the god of discord.
His daughter, Discordia.
They're now naming the latest variant after.
And when you go back to November the 29th, 2021, I remember it well because...
It was the first time we had taken time off from this program.
We began the program in December of 2020, and we'd gone for a year, and we were trying to move, and so we were doing a house hunting trip.
And Tony Arteran was taking the show, and once we got here, I did a video, and Omicron had just come out.
And I couldn't stop laughing about it.
It was so absurd, so obvious what they were doing.
I did that to introduce Tony and to say, you know, by the way, folks, don't panic over this.
And so on the 29th of November, 2021, I have a writer, Andres Martinez.
He says, well, according to Greek mythology, Omicron was a Greek god who was unhappy when people lived in peace, working harmoniously together to maximize their collective well-being and happiness.
That's the standard Wikipedia definition that's out there.
Ami, as the other gods called him, loved nothing more than finding ways to divide people against each other, resurrecting age-old grievances and wounds in their hopes of triggering people to pick up their weapons and resume their ancestors' quarrels with each other until one day...
He says, okay, I'm kidding.
Omicron, as more erudite readers will already know, and as I have been told, is the 15th Greek letter, and the World Health Organization has been using Greek letters to name COVID variants as they are discovered, but I do think...
My Omni would be a good candidate for the mythological pantheon.
He says, Omicron certainly does feel like a call to arms for people to jump back into their respective trenches and resume their cultural and political fights.
This guy was totally clueless.
We knew what was happening.
I didn't need to see Matt Hancock's WhatsApp to know what's up.
Okay? It was pretty obvious what they were doing.
It was a scam. It had been a scam at that point in time for nearly two years.
This guy is still thinking, well, no, but the World Health Organization said it was named after a Greek letter, and the World Health Organization says this variant is real, and we've all got to be scared, and we've all got to start fighting each other again.
He says, among the science skeptical right, see, science is on his side.
And if you don't believe the lie that they've been putting out there for two years, now well documented, but they're going to continue to play this game.
The new variant and the rush to embrace countermeasures before we know how contagious, virulent, and vulnerable Omicron really is amounts to more evidence that the authoritarian anti-state and its public health officials are eager to seize upon any excuse to govern how we live, or rather how we aren't allowed to live to the fullest.
He knows exactly what was happening.
There are many of us who were saying that.
And he just dismisses this and mocks it as people who are skeptical of science.
Now, I'm skeptical of authorities, and when authorities are making pronouncements without doing any tests, without proving anything, that's not science.
This guy is a shill for them, and we've seen this over and over again.
This is typical attitudes.
Oh, these people, these science skeptical right, as he calls them, He says they've been quick to mock the WHO for excessive political correctness or bias because they skipped the Greek letter chi, or xi, or 11, or whatever you want to call it, xi.
He said that said, delusional pandemic minimizers and deniers are scoring some points this week.
And pointing out how quickly the mainstream media and political authorities are stoking fears about the new variant and contemplating or embracing overreactions in the face of incomplete information.
Well, that's where we are today.
Going back to Handy, he said in the EMS, he worked in the EMS, and he says, last night there was a noticeable uptick in the number of nurses wearing surgical NN95 masks in the ER. But still no official mandate here, though. I had one patient with what we used to call a bug, just a mild fever, relieved by Tylenol.
By the way, I haven't talked about this, but...
You know, very disturbing allegations that Tylenol, taken by pregnant women, has an effect on autism.
Correlation with that, so it needs to be investigated.
But just for your information, you know, pass that on.
You probably have seen that, but I didn't talk about it.
Relieved by, had a mild fever, relieved by Tylenol and a runny nose.
No emergency, but he wanted to go to the ER, so we took him.
He told me he had taken a COVID test at home before he called 911, but it was negative.
After getting a room in the ER, I gave my verbal report to the receiving nurse who was wearing the same N95 mask for hours while I was there.
The patient then told the nurse about the symptoms and her response was, yeah, COVID will do that.
This is the charge nurse.
This guy wants to go.
He wants to test positive for COVID. He said, that's the other thing about this.
These people are so caught up in this narrative.
They give some meaning to their life to be one of these cases for Fauci.
That really is a thing.
He wasn't tested at that point.
I had not left his side. Not that I believe in the test, but he does.
And that's the point. The hospital will fully take advantage of your ignorance and or your fear.
If you come in saying, you might have COVID, you're gonna have COVID. Is he on a COVID treatment plan now?
I have real concerns about ever being a patient in a hospital again.
It would have to be life or death.
At this point, I prefer a peaceful death at home to whatever horror waits at the hospital.
I've said that. I believe that myself.
Not giving you any medical advice, but, you know, that's the way I feel about it.
These people have so lost their credibility.
And here's what somebody... That's Handy who works EMS. Here's a nurse.
I work for a large hospital system in Broward County, Florida on the anesthesia team.
Last night the house nurse manager came to my department and told us that we must prepare for a COVID crisis that's going to start next week.
And the hospital will be taking part of our Recovery unit, anesthesia recovery unit, to house COVID patients.
And that we should, that we cannot allow surgical patients' families to come visit them.
And I looked at her and I said, how do you know you're going to need our rooms, our bays?
And how do you know there's going to be a crisis next week?
She tilted down her glasses, she looked at me, and she said, you know what's going on by now.
And I said, yeah, I do.
And everyone else just went, oh, here we go again, and shrugged their shoulders.
Does anyone else find this really strange besides me?
It's about time that this whole corrupted, stinking system is brought down.
Yeah, yeah. Just kind of tilts her glasses down and looks at her.
Come on, you know what's going on here, right?
Yeah, she's got a crystal ball.
And that's how she knows.
She's consulted Nostradamus.
Or maybe there's a...
The word had just come out.
We're going to run this thing again.
We made a lot of money last time doing all this stuff.
And look, I've said this how many times?
Talking about the fact that, you know, not just in America, not just in this hospital system, but globally, in every country, all these people, whether you're talking about, you know, Trump or Biden or Trudeau or Macron, well, you know, in a couple weeks, or not a couple weeks, in two months, we're going to do this.
I told you I was going to do what I'm doing today.
This goes into effect today.
And then in two months, we're going to do something else, going to go another step further.
This is not a pandemic.
This is boiling the frogs with politics, taking us step by step into tyranny, moving the Overton window for a new normal.
That's what this is. It's deliberate.
We all see it. Why are we playing along with it?
That's what she says. When are we going to take down this corrupt system?
And of course, we've seen this from the very beginning, haven't we?
It was necessary at the very beginning, as I've said over and over again, the thing that really ticked me off at InfoWars was how Alex...
And Mike Adams were pushing the panic and selling storable food, selling eventually masks and all the rest of this stuff.
And many people have sent this to me, Brian Shulhavi, Health Impact News, COVID lockdowns and mask mandates returning.
I'm not buying the PSYOP distraction, neither should you.
And he says it's not just the mainstream media, but it's a lot of the right-wing alternative media.
It says it appears Alex Jones was selected to begin the current news cycle to hype up fear and outrage by creating a TSA whistleblower, unnamed of course, stating that full COVID restrictions were coming in September.
And so Alex is going to push this out and say, see, I was right.
And already, Mike Lee, Senator Mike Lee, says, look, he's right.
And that's what Brian says. Since when does Mike Lee second Alex, you know, say, oh, well, this is coming, so make sure you push back against this.
In other words, yeah, I agree, it's going to come.
We've known that this is going to happen.
I said from the very beginning when Scott Adams was dancing around and saying, okay, you know, well, you guys won.
You got lucky. You didn't have any reason to disbelieve the pandemic.
I still have the smart position because I played it safe.
You guys took risks and you got lucky.
It turned out that you were right, and I said no.
We haven't won anything.
They've just put it on pause because we don't take away their authority to do this kind of stuff.
We leave these corrupt systems that have been totally corrupted.
I mean, medical profession has been about money for a long time, predominantly, right?
Now they've pushed a lot of the doctors and nurses who were there to provide health care for people who are honest about it, who put patients first, who had the ethics of first do no harm.
Those people have been pushed out.
This is a much worse system now.
There's been no reform of it.
These people were bribed and then blackmailed, bribed by Trump, blackmailed by Biden.
You've got to get the jab.
You've got to be a participant in this and that type of thing.
But they were bribed with phenomenal amounts of money by the Trump administration.
And then, of course, this whole stuff was pushed out in 2020.
It was sickening to watch it.
And are we going to run through this whole thing again?
And so, again, he's not the only one who is saying this about Alex.
Winepress is saying the same thing as Health Impact News.
He says, even if Alex Jones is 100% sincere in what he was reporting, How do we know this alleged TSA whistleblower was not fed this information for the very specific intention of creating a new news cycle around COVID that promoted hype and fear?
Right? It wouldn't be the first time that agencies like CIA use a platform of Alex Jones to do something like this, and it probably won't be the last time.
And, of course, I've seen it happen over and over again while I was there.
Especially in 2020, over and over again.
I was disgusted with it.
When it was done by Steve Pachenik to begin all of this Stop the Steal, January the 6th, Save America, Grift.
Steve Pachenik is a CIA disinformation agent.
And he has done this kind of stuff at InfoWars over and over again.
And he was joined by some other people who seconded it.
He repeated what he had to say.
And those people in my book are suspect as well now.
People like Lieutenant Colonel, uh, retired Anthony Schaefer was one of the ones who jumped in on it.
You had a guy out of the UK. I don't even remember his name.
I'd never seen him before or since, but he jumped in on it.
And so when I was opposing all this stuff that Steve Pachenik was putting out two days after the election, I said, this is not possible.
This is a narrative that Alex is using.
Roger Stone said, this is going to be great.
We're going to raise a lot of money. You can actually see pictures of him.
He had a documentary crew following him around.
He said we're going to make so much money it's going to be like falling off a horse or something like that.
But no question of what they were doing.
Not at all. All this January the 6th stuff, all this election stuff was done to raise money for Trump.
And all this stuff that selling this fear at the beginning of 2020 and it's starting again now.
A reliable place To push out your narrative.
Alex Jones. He said, the other thing that made me skeptical of this news by Alex Jones is that it completely blamed Biden, of course, who is simply a puppet following a script written by the corporate globalists, and they control both the left and the right.
He says, remember, it was Donald Trump who started the Scandemic PSYOP. You know, and Alex, again, profiting off of it, but also telling everybody, don't worry, you know, when Trump does exactly the opposite of what he said he's going to do, it's just 4D chess.
Never hold him responsible for any of this stuff.
Don't ever criticize him for lying to you.
He's not lying to you.
He's lying to them.
You know, he's lying to the deep state that works for him.
The entire deep state, all the regulatory bureaucracies are under the president, under the executive branch.
Do we have to review how the Constitution is structured?
Well, I mean, it's such a fraud, every bit of this.
Oh, Donald Trump is playing 4-D chess.
He's fooling them. He's going to, last minute, he's going to pull this thing out.
You just follow me to January the 6th, and we're going to pull this whole thing out.
Look at how many lives have been destroyed.
By way of reminder here, he said, here's a video that I produced.
It clearly shows that all Republican leaders were on board with the COVID shots.
Most of them were invested in the new experimental pharmaceutical things.
People like Rand Paul getting his wife to buy an remdesivir.
He knows what he's doing.
He's a doctor. He had his wife doing it.
And so that's on his BitChute channel, Brian Shulhavi.
And so... At first I wasn't going to talk about this.
I thought, yeah, I've talked about this many times.
And every time I talk about it, it's just, oh, it's just sour grapes or whatever.
I'm not upset to be gone from Infowars.
I'm relieved, quite frankly.
I resolved that whatever these guys are going to do, I was going to tell it the way that I saw it, even if it meant opposing them.
And I did oppose them on air.
I opposed Mike Adams. I opposed Alex.
That's why I was fired.
I wasn't fired because he couldn't afford to keep me there.
What a joke. He's paying himself $30 million a year, as we see with these lawsuits.
He couldn't afford to keep me there because I was going to tell everybody that the January 6th thing he was running was a grift.
That's what he couldn't afford to do.
So he says even Christian News Broadcasting is now talking about this, saying a third of adults believe the COVID-19 vaccines caused thousands of sudden deaths, according to a poll.
He said belief in misinformation about key health issues persists among a good chunk of adults with false claims about COVID-19 vaccines and so forth.
A poll released Tuesday by KFF has found.
So they put it out there and they say, well, you know, A number of people who think that this is bad.
It's really growing.
And the Christian radio news broadcast at the top says, well, these are just false claims.
A third of you are wrong.
Well, a third of the people who are roughly equivalent to the people who didn't take the jab.
And now they see what's happened to the people who took the jab.
So, it's just confirmed what they suspected and actually knew.
Even Trump, again, the day after DeSantis does a quick hit on him for the lockdowns and the economic effect of the lockdowns, the next day Trump puts out a thing criticizing DeSantis, saying, look, he promoted my shot, and the guy that he had there that he gave the shot to died four months later.
Trump knows what he's doing.
He's such a narcissist that even when it's not in his interest to say stuff like that, he says it.
For the longest time, he cheered the fact that he was the father of the vaccine, and now he's out there accusing his chief rival of killing people with his shot that he's always bragged about.
And so Brian Shohavi says, this is a tra balloon, and so what is it diverting attention away from?
Well, he thinks it's diverting attention away from Maui and this push for 15-minute cities and everything.
And I think the bigger issue is the climate MacGuffin.
You know, that has been the horse that they have ridden.
To do depopulation and government control and to destroy our economies and to take us back to the dark ages, literally.
Cut the power and all the rest of this stuff.
And so I think that's how they're using it.
I think that's going to be their principal vehicle.
They'll bring in the pandemic's narrative to sow more discord and have people fighting amongst themselves.
But people are not really fighting, you notice, people are not really fighting the climate MacGuffin as much as they're fighting this pandemic MacGuffin.
And so a lot of people, there's no virus or anything like that at the core of this.
A lot of people say that.
And so then they bring back the narrative, oh, well, it was actually a weaponized virus in the Wuhan lab to combat that narrative.
And I've talked about that, how that has been picked up by a lot of people in the right-wing press.
What that does is that gives credibility to the fear campaign.
That same fear campaign that was being run in the spring of 2020 by Alex and Mike.
You go back and you talk about this as if it was real.
Look, we know because we've seen the reports.
People weren't dying in the numbers that, in 2020, in the numbers that they reported in 2021 as the vaccine started to roll out to more and more people.
We saw the numbers go up.
It was in the third quarter and the fourth quarter when it went up.
And I predicted in December 2020.
I said, they're going to start mandating it in September of 2021, which they did.
And you could tell because this is all political.
It's so obvious. It's so political.
And the numbers in 2020, everybody who died from their remdesivir or their ventilators or the rest of the stuff.
Oh, well, you're dying of COVID. Doesn't matter if you pass life expectancy and you got two and a half comorbidities.
You died from COVID and all the rest of this stuff.
So it was phony to start with, everything about it.
And yet... People understand the many different phony aspects and dangerous aspects of the pandemic far more than they understand the climate lies and the implications of that.
Because that's going to be used to take everything down.
It's being done under the radar in a very subtle way.
As I talked about last week, the fact that you have all these different public utilities and states with renewable energy mandates.
We've got to have solar.
We've got to have wind. Well, that means that they've got to have the big...
Battery energy storage sites.
The best. BESS. And they're going to put that right in your neighborhood and burn your neighborhood down with that.
Got a million batteries there.
You got one of them goes bad.
Guess what? You know, all chain reaction.
And we've seen this.
How many times have I reported about all of the scooters that have started fires in New York City?
The electric scooters as they're charging.
Burned down buildings. Killed a lot of people.
I forget what the total number is, but it's a lot of people.
And, um, and I, and individual incidents.
And then you go from the electric scooter to the electric car, to the electric bus, to the electric semi, and now you got the electric battery grid.
It's just insane how they're scaling this up.
And people don't really understand that.
Uh, nobody is talking about that and the fire threat that that has.
I think one of the ways that we need to try to fight this...
By the way, if the people who sent me that...
I lost the address...
The envelope that the news clippings came in about the fight that is happening here in Tennessee.
Right now it has been shut down on the basis that it was too close to a school.
But the Texas company that put together these Tesla batteries is going to be suing because they stand to make a lot of money.
They're going to make $25 million if they get this thing put in.
So they're going to sue the county and try to get this put in, but the Tennessee Valley Authority, the TVA, wants to put up 20 of these sites just in Tennessee.
Same thing that's happening in New York or California.
You're not safe anywhere with this kind of stuff.
And they will literally burn this country down, and they will literally destroy the power grid and everything about your way of life.
They're forcing you to get all electric everything while they're destroying the grid.
I mean, it just becomes more and more obvious all the time, doesn't it?
So anyway, if the people who sent that to me, if they will send me some information about how we can get together and connect, I would like to talk to some of these groups that are there.
I think one of the approaches that we ought to take, that everybody ought to take, because it's going to be happening in every state.
This is not something that is unique to this location.
I think one of the things that we need to do is to say you're going to have to carry insurance and just make that insurance as unaffordable as possible.
Oh, you want to put a massive thing of batteries here?
Let's take a look at some of the issues here.
Let's take a look at what some of the automobile insurance companies are saying about this stuff.
And then let's scale it up to your battery energy storage site.
And you pay the insurance premiums on that.
How about that? Let's play that game against them, their own game.
Anyway, getting back to the masks, Germany hands a jail sentence to a judge who ruled against the government's mask mandates.
Now, this is the type of thing we see judges do all the time, don't we?
You know, somebody comes up with a law and the judge says, no, that doesn't comport with the Constitution or something.
Certainly here in the U.S., and I think the same thing happens in Germany.
But again, the law has no effect with all of this stuff.
And so this judge who struck down the mandates for children in school in Germany in 2021 stands to lose his legal career and his pension because they handed him a two-year suspended prison sentence for, quote, perverting the law.
I thought that's what judges are supposed to do.
That's the main description, right?
I mean, we've got a judge, a Trump-appointed federal judge here in Tennessee that when Tennessee passed the law saying, you're not going to have these dragons out there doing lewd dances with kids and in front of kids and all the rest of this stuff.
We're going to shut that kind of garbage down.
And not shut it down.
I mean, these, you know, these...
Perps and twerps can do whatever they want to with each other.
Nobody's saying they can't.
It's just that they say, well, this is an adult cabaret, like an adult business or something.
And for the same reason, you don't let kids go into bars.
The same reason you don't let them go into strip joints.
Doesn't mean that you don't necessarily shut down.
You don't shut down all bars and strip joints, but you make sure the kids don't go in.
Same thing with casinos and that type of thing.
So it was the same approach.
And quite frankly, I didn't think it was even necessary because there's already laws on the books about lewd conduct with children and lewd conduct in public.
Those should have and could be enforced now without that.
But the Tennessee legislature put it together and the governor signed it and then somebody challenged it and a Trump-appointed judge Said, no, you can't do that.
And so as far as I can tell, that has not been overturned on appeal.
So judges do this kind of thing all the time.
Well, this judge in Germany, Christian Detmar, struck down an order by the German state.
And again, was it a law or was it a bureaucratic order?
I don't know how their system works.
But that's a key part of what's happening in the United States.
There's a big difference between a rule, an order, and a law.
And so they had the requirements that the kids had to wear masks, they had to social distance, they had to get tested all the time.
And he said, this isn't compatible with the welfare of the children involved.
And he struck it down.
And so then they put charges against him.
And it was overturned by a higher court, and then they came after him, accusing him of perverting the law.
The defense argued that the trial was politically motivated and intended to silence dissenters, while Judge Detmar himself said he felt no regret.
And he would do the same thing again, quote, out of a deep inner conviction, unquote.
While a two-year suspended sentence may not seem like a serious outcome, it will have big consequences for him.
It will mean because anybody who is convicted of a sentence for more than 12 months, even if you are given that and the sentence is suspended so you don't serve the jail time, if you are convicted of that, then you can no longer be a civil servant.
And you lose your pension. And so it looks like that's the game they're going to play with him.
Which is what I always believed that they were going to try to do to Trump.
Right? Get him convicted of insurrection and then suspend the sentence so they don't send him to jail.
Send a bunch of other people to jail, of course.
You know, all around it.
But not Trump. But they didn't even charge him with the insurrection charge.
So I was wrong about that, I guess.
But, yeah, they don't want to have a situation, in my opinion, I still say, that he's not going to go to jail.
Other people will go to jail. As a matter of fact, there's one guy who was in jail already because he can't make bail and Trump won't help him.
He can't afford a lawyer either and Trump won't help him.
But, you know, they have crossed the Rubicon in the sense of putting criminal indictments against a foreign president.
But there's another Rubicon that I still don't think they're going to do.
And that is to put him in jail.
Because that means that each and every one of them is looking at jail time as well.
Not for the big crimes that they did to us in 2020.
Both Republicans and Democrats.
But for the smaller stuff.
They could all go to jail if they do that.
So again, he's been on probation.
He's given the whole police state search treatment.
Everything in his house has been turned upside down, inspected.
They're going to make an example out of him, is what they're trying to do.
Biden, by the way, Brownstone Institute has an article revisiting the Biden legal position on masks.
And they point out how the Biden administration fought To keep masks on airplanes.
And the arguments that they made.
Truly amazing, specious arguments, legal arguments about this.
Last year, says at Brownstone Institute, it seemed that masks were good for us.
Or rather, gone for good, I should say.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Kimball held that Biden's national mask mandate on airplanes was illegal.
Airlines and airports immediately revoked their mask requirements.
Flight attendants sang in celebration.
Passengers cheered. Companies welcomed the change in policy.
And while Americans rejoiced, the Biden administration worked behind the scenes to ensure that it could reimplement mask mandates at any time, in any place, for any reason.
Now, one of the things we have to understand is that even though Biden issued the nationwide mask mandates, they were already being used.
As I said before, the subtlety of the way Trump did it made it even more dangerous.
You know, Biden just, yeah, I'm a dictator, I can tell you to do whatever I want.
The Republicans were much more subtle about it.
Worked through employers, worked through regulatory agencies, worked through governors, worked through bribery.
But Biden just comes out like a thug and says, you do what I say.
That type of thing. It's easier to resist that, quite frankly.
The humiliation exercise never had a scientific basis.
Existing air filtrations, especially on the planes, were superior to any cloth mask that you put on your face.
And again, it didn't have to be an N95 mask.
You know, they didn't define what a mask was.
It could be cloth, it could be anything, and none of those things worked.
So, despite the data, Biden issued nationwide mask mandates in his first hours in office.
His administration appealed Judge Kimball's decision last April.
The case was dismissed as moot because the court said, well, there's not a grain of evidence that the CDC has any plans to promulgate an identical mandate.
Well, recent news says that may have been wrong.
And again, even as this news is coming out to condition us, that is their intention.
And we always knew they were going to bring this stuff back, and they will bring it back if we don't stop these laws.
You see, there needs to be model state legislation, just like they did two months after the, you know, they did their, again, to recount it, dark winter, two months before 9-11.
One week later, the anthrax attack, false flag attack, blamed on Iraq initially.
But then two months later, They passed Model State Health Emergency Powers Act.
They had model legislation they sent out to all the states and said, here, you do this because of the Tenth Amendment.
Well, we need to have that same kind of thing done to tell the states, don't ever do this again.
And we need to do the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act in reverse.
I don't know what we call it, but to remove their power.
They have to do a power-ectomy on these people.
The return of COVID hysteria begs the question, what power did Jen Psaki and the White House want to preserve?
Their legal briefs appealing Judge Kimball's decision offer some clues.
In court, the Biden administration argued that mask mandates should be permissible even if there is no evidence to support them.
Again, this is just a dictatorship.
It's just as Simon says.
Data? I don't have to show you the data.
I don't have to show you the data about climate change.
I don't have to show you the data about this so-called virus.
I don't have to show you any data about any of this stuff.
Further government lawyers wrote that these mandates should be permissible to any extent that bureaucrats deemed necessary, even if the risk of COVID is non-existent.
They said, that is not hyperbole.
That's actually what they argued.
Opponents of the mandate said, no, we should have controlled trials.
But the Biden administration responded, the government didn't need to provide any evidence or any rational basis for its orders.
Instead, quote, the CDC's determination that there was good cause should be sufficient, unquote.
Government edicts should not be subject to judicial scrutiny either, said the government in its legal brief.
Furthermore, there should be no limit to that authority, according to the Biden administration.
Quote, it was equally permissible for the CDC, they argued, to make the masking requirement applicable to all passengers, regardless of whether there's any indication that the plane is diseased or dirtied, unquote.
So, they don't have to provide any evidence.
They give you an order.
There doesn't have to be any scientific basis for it.
There doesn't have to be any legal basis for it because they don't want the judiciary to get involved in second-guessing what they have to say.
So, remove the science.
Remove the law.
You do what I say.
And it doesn't matter. I don't have to prove anything.
I don't even have to prove that there's a risk.
You just do what I say.
And the problem with this is that we've now bought into this idea that every four years we elect a new dictator.
The presidency should not be a dictator.
And all of the deep state that is under the executive branch, that's all under the president, Trump did not do anything to the deep state.
He fired two FBI people that were coming after him.
That's it. Other than that, he did nothing about the deep state.
And every bit of the deep state was under him.
Every bit of it. FBI, the Department of Justice, all of these harassing agencies, they were all underneath him.
He didn't do anything about it.
And so now, we have bought into the idea that presidents are going to be dictators.
And that's one of the reasons why we've got this division, this civil war, this dictatorship on either side of this.
Everybody's lining up. Well, we want to be the ones dictating the terms.
And we want our guy to be absolute ruler.
We want our guy to be Caesar.
This goes back a long way.
This goes back decades ago.
The Reagan administration, where you had William Bennett, who wrote, quote, The Book of Virtues, and bragging about being the drug czar.
It's the first time I started using that name.
Czar. I'm a dictator.
Yeah, how does that square up with your Book of Virtues, Bennett?
Made me sick.
Well, you know, we now think that the presidents should be czars.
Kaiser, czar, all these different things.
They come from Caesar. And we've crossed that Rubicon.
We want the president to be an emperor, a Caesar.
And we want him friendly to our side and our issues.
And that's the really dangerous thing about this.
Because it's accepting that power structure, which changes America.
Just like it changed Rome from a republic to an empire, a dictatorship.
We have passively accepted that.
We have crossed the Rubicon in our minds as voters.
That's one of the reasons why everybody is lined up in this partisan civil war over Trump.
Biden is a dictator. Trump is a dictator.
And they want to come in and they want to go after each other.
And we want to go after the supporters of the other side and all the rest of this stuff.
The Biden doctrine of administrative rulemaking is what we might call this, but it's not just Biden's doctrine.
This has been developed over a long period of time.
It means agencies can order whatever they want, whether or not there is a plausible basis in law, whether or not there is a rational basis for it at all.
It is a doctrine of bureaucratic supremacy.
Well, I 100% agree with that.
I've been saying that myself.
I'm glad to see other people put that out there.
Other people also are talking about how, look, you know, this pandemic thing and the climate thing, they're essentially the same.
They're using all the same tactics of this stuff?
Yes, of course. Biden, they're just stating the long-established status quo of bureaucratic supremacy.
Now, as all this haggling back and forth about masks is going on, there's a study published by the NIH suggesting that the N95 COVID mask may expose wearers to dangerous levels of toxic compounds that can be linked to seizures and cancer.
Now, they're not talking about CO2, right?
CO2 is just going to destroy the planet.
All the CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.04%, and what percentage of that is man-made?
Well, we don't care. It's going to destroy the environment.
But you just keep this on your face, and you keep breathing that CO2 in.
Now, they're talking about other stuff.
Toxic, volatile, organic compounds, a group of things identified as TVOCs, And this is a study that came out of the National University in South Korea looking at the garbage that's in these masks.
I've been saying this for years again.
But I guess now Daily Mail is talking about it and Korean University is talking about it.
They even, as Daily Mail says, they quietly re-shared this study from South Korea on the website of the National Institutes of Health.
NIH put it up.
We've even had in the past, which they don't mention in this article, we've had a lot of these masks preloaded with stuff to test positive on the COVID tests and other contaminants.
But when we look at these masks, they've never been safe, even if you just look at the CO2. And then there's all the contaminants that are there as well.
The researchers found levels...
Of TVOCs were 14 times lower in cloth masks, and the cloth mask didn't pose a risk to human health.
Well, yes it does, because of CO2. And by the way, it doesn't work.
And by the way, the N95 masks don't work.
The cloth mask is especially ludicrous.
The cloth mask is like trying to keep mosquitoes out of your yard by putting up a chain-link fence.
It's ridiculous. What they're saying, they're virus theory that they're putting out there.
And again, you know, a lot of people don't believe there is any such thing as virus.
I'm not totally opposed to that.
I'm not going to go down that thing.
But I understand that as we look at things that cannot be observed by the naked eye, there's a lot of things for which we have inference.
And a good example of that is the...
The different models that we have at the atomic level.
You know, when I was in school, we were all taught the Niels Bohr atomic model.
And we had the models in class and everything.
You know, the nucleus of protons and neutrons and electrons circling around, you know, like a little solar system, that type of thing.
But now you've got quantum theory and all the rest of this stuff.
And it's like, well, this is not anything like that.
Now, that could have been a useful abstraction.
But that, you know, to help them with the table of elements and how different elements combine from chemistry.
But, you know, quantum mechanics is showing that this isn't anything like that.
But again, quantum mechanics could be wrong.
It's an abstraction.
It's a theory. And so the same thing is true when you're talking about virus stuff.
It's an abstraction.
And so this is a way that they've modeled stuff to try to understand what's working.
But it's not exactly observed and provable.
So, again, all of this stuff.
It's a lot of hokey-pokey superstition, as far as I'm concerned.
Here's the bottom line.
Here's what they want to do, and I'll take a quick break.
When you look at what the...
People who want to get rid of pests, as they put it.
Let's put them on the pill.
Let's not kill them.
It wouldn't be humane to do that.
So let's just gradually ease them out.
And you understand this is like Planned Parenthood for pets.
Because that's what they're doing to us.
Let's kill some of them, but we don't want to just have this massive slaughter of feral pigs or whatever.
And so let's just do some things to sterilize them.
And that's what they're doing to us.
They're killing some of us, but for the most part, the things that they're doing are sterilizing the population.
They're sterilizing us psychologically, spiritually, but also physically.
You know, the sperm counts are down like 60%.
These new jabs, the spike accumulates in the ovaries.
So they're doing this directly with a trump shot and other things and other indications that electromagnetic pollution, EMF waves are causing issues as well.
But this has always been about depopulation.
That's what the climate change agenda has always been.
With the jab, they've just made it a little bit more direct.
So we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
Using free speech to free minds. - It's the David Knight Show.
Well, to prepare for what is coming, because we've been told that Biden has a new vaccine that is on its way.
We don't want to look too carefully at this new vaccine, because he's already pronounced before it's been approved, before it's been tested, before it's been deployed.
He's already pronounced that it works.
So there you go. Just like his mask mandates for airplanes.
Oh, they work. Got any evidence?
No, I don't need to have that evidence.
I'm the president. I can do whatever I want.
The CDC is now refusing any new COVID vaccine adverse event reports in its V-safe program.
And understand that there's two different safety databases.
The VAERS database, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System that was set up to coincide with Fauci's first legal immunity for the vaccine companies back with the 1986 Act.
And then there's V-safe, which runs off of an app.
And people have said that's a much better metric because it's easier for people to report it.
They make it much more difficult with a VAERS report.
Before all this stuff happened, a Harvard study said only about 10% of vaccine adverse events were even reported.
With all this stuff, they're putting pressure on people not to report it.
Now the CDC... Has just arbitrarily taken down the V-SAFE website.
And this person, David Gortler, who writes for the Brownstone Institute, is somebody who has worked for the FDA for many, many years.
And he just can't believe that this is happening.
They quietly stopped collecting adverse event reports with no reason or explanation.
The V-SAFE website simply says, thank you for your participation.
Data collected for the COVID-19 vaccines concluded on June 30, 2023.
And if you go there today, the V-Safe directs users to the FDA's VAERS website, even though officials continually derided VAERS as, quote, passive and unverified.
So VAERS is the older way of collecting safety data, where one can fill out a form online, or you can do it manually, or you can call a toll-free number.
V-Safe was an app that you could put on your phone.
It still required online registration.
Both VAERS and V-Safe collect personal information.
They collect the lot number of the vaccine because they varied the dosage quite a bit in these lot numbers.
That's really what they were looking at, I think.
Dates and associated information, but V-Safe was an active collection system geared toward younger app using demographic.
While CDC's V-Safe was stealthily and abruptly turned off, And refusing to accept new safety reports, to this day, the CDC continues to urge everyone ages six months and older to stay up to date with all the COVID vaccines and boosters.
Now, this is where he comments about how he cannot believe this.
As a drug safety expert, I personally cannot cite another example of any agency or any manufacturer halting collection of safety data.
It seems even worse because the mRNA technology is relatively new.
And we have long-term manifestations unknown.
You understand that if they had gone through their procedures that they had put years ago, and even before all this stuff happened, it was...
Del Bigtree, who made it public, they had these meetings where these people were talking about it and said, we're not testing these things nearly long enough to see the long-term effects of this stuff.
And if you were to apply that to these things, we're still far, far away from what they would have done as a test.
And they've just shut this off.
They deployed it without doing any tests.
And now they don't want you to see the long-term effects of it.
That's what's going on here.
It's become, there's too much traction in terms of people talking about what has happened to them.
They're having too hard a time covering up what is happening because so many people have been injured by it.
So he said, it seems even worse because the mRNA technology is relatively new, long-term manifestations unknown, and on top of this, both manufacturers and the FDA refuse to share the list of ingredients.
Such as lipid nanoparticles, which could affect individuals differently and take a long time to manifest clinically.
And he says, to contrast this, he talks about how when he was in college, his family had a Ford Bronco and they kind of passed it on to him and he used it in college.
And he just kept driving it.
He was driving it when he was working.
As a professor at Yale, and then through his years at the FDA, he was a medical officer, a senior medical analyst, and he's still driving the Ford Bronco.
And then he said, you know, it became a topic of conversation because they had problems with them flipping over.
He said even a parking lot attendant said, don't you know about this?
So he said he finally sold it.
But he said he went back and he looked and he said, you know, that 30-year-old Ford Bronco, even though it's had very few reports, especially recently, about that kind of thing happening, they're still collecting information.
And if you go to the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, I call them NHTSA, if you go to their site, they still have a page there where you can report problems with that Ford Bronco safety thing.
He says that's normal.
You see that all the time.
I talked about this in terms of the Boeing 737 when Fauci said, oh, it's rare, you know, these things that are happening to people.
I said, well, look, you know, they only had two of these things go down.
But each time, they killed about 250 people.
At that point in time, they said, all right, that's it.
We're grounding these things.
They'd had 8,200 flights, and they had two of them that went down because of the software issue.
And so rare doesn't hack it.
Does it? And quite frankly, these things are not rare.
He said NHTSA is still accepting this about the Ford Bronco, but the CDC isn't accepting new safety reports on the two-year-old novel mRNA vaccines.
Well, here's why. They want to get rid of cars.
They don't want to get rid of the pharmaceutical stuff, right?
He said, unlike my old Bronco, mRNA injections have only been on the market for about two years.
mRNA vaccines, quote unquote, have been named as the primary suspect in over one and a half million adverse events records, Trump.
Brag about that thing.
Of which there are greater than 20,000 heart attacks and more than 27,000 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis just in the U.S. alone.
Yeah. Thanks to Trump.
These other people would not have gotten away with it.
But, you know, when he did it, it's 40 chess.
Interestingly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Association link for my Ford Bronco 2 only shows one parts recall, one investigation, and 23 complaints.
And it still features a button to submit new complaints.
So, yeah, that is the difference, isn't it?
We know exactly what they're doing, just as Oliver Anthony said.
You know, they think we don't see, but we do.
We know exactly what these people are doing.
Despite the alarming clinical findings, the CDC has concluded that collecting new safety reports is somehow no longer in the interest of America's public health.
Public health. There's no such thing as public health anyway.
They long ago decided that they didn't care about the health of individuals.
So why would they care about the health of the public?
The public is nothing but a collection of individuals that they don't care about.
Existing data from the v-safe site that they've now stopped.
That's what he's talking about.
Stopped as of June the 30th.
Existing data from that site showed around 6.5 million adverse events.
Out of 10 million users, now you know why they shut it down.
65% of the users at adverse events.
About 2 million of those people unable to conduct normal activities of daily living and needing medical care.
That's how many people Trump has injured with this thing.
That's just the tip of it, right?
Because we're only talking about 10 million people who even signed up with the app.
Out of over 300 million people.
In other words, despite mRNA shots still being widely available and the CDC promoting its continued use, it is case closed with regards to collecting new safety reports.
Will the CDC opine on the existing data, he says, or will it justify its halting of collecting the new safety data?
To the best of my knowledge, the stopping of collection of public health information doesn't have clinical justification or scientific precedent, especially when it comes to an actively marketed product.
See, we're in new territory now.
We've got all new precedents that have been set.
And again, this guy was a pharmacologist, a pharmacist, a research scientist, former member of the FDA senior executive leadership team, He served as a senior advisor to the FDA Commissioner on matters of FDA regulatory affairs.
He was a drug safety and FDA science policy.
He's former Yale University and Georgetown University didactic professor of pharmacology and biotech.
You can't believe this.
There's a few...
He's retired from this thing.
The people who are in it, they don't want to oppose this.
Why the COVID delusion continues.
This is from Jeff Thomas.
An insight into human nature, because that's what we're talking about here.
Let me respond to some of the comments that we had.
From Rachel Carson to every era of climate hoax, their literature has never hidden the need for lowered population.
Yeah, that's right. It's always been about that.
On Rumble, that's KWD68. On Rumble, Rick Sanchez says, oil companies want you thinking about CO2 and weather rather than all the carcinogenic crap they sell us every day.
Yeah, that's right. And, of course, the oil companies...
Are heavily invested in all this stuff as well.
They're heavily, heavily invested in the green agenda.
That's why when I was talking about Rex Tillerson, I said, you're crazy.
You know, he's not one of these, you know, climate alarmists.
He was president of Exxon.
I said, don't you realize?
You know, it's like, yeah, Exxon was OPEC. Exxon is also heavily involved in this climate alarmism stuff.
They would love...
For oil and plastics to be very, very rare and expensive.
Because they've got control of it.
They want to be the De Beers, as to what De Beers is to the diamond industry.
The current big oil companies want to be to plastics and things like that.
And on DLive, user Deersheeple, Time to bring down the numbers.
I'm a rock fan. A new study shows.
And thank you for the tip.
Appreciate that. A new study shows.
That's his name. Or her name.
Fauci's wife, Christine Grady, still holds his title at the NIH bioethics chief and head section on human subjects research.
Christine Grady, PhD, MSN. Yeah, so, you know, she's...
I guess she kind of didn't have a problem with the NIH... Ordering body parts from Planned Parenthood and then putting them in and creating humanized mice.
I guess that kind of just skipped Fauci's wife, Christine Grady.
Yeah. A little bit of nepotism going on there, and it always helps to have somebody on your side when it comes to the unethical things that you're involved in.
Rumble Bartola says, Good for David for not trashing the banjo dude like many other conservatives.
He dislikes both sides as it should be.
Banjo dude. I guess we're talking about Oliver Anthony.
Yeah. Quite frankly, I saw his clip.
We'll talk about it just briefly.
I'm not going to play his clip of what he had to say.
But I thought he was pretty authentic about it.
He was...
He says, I can't...
You know, the rich man north of Richmond.
And they play that in Fox News at the beginning of the debate.
He goes, don't they know I'm talking about them?
They are the rich man north of Richmond.
And they want to be... All of them want to be north of Richmond and even richer.
Anyway, he was bemoaning the division of left and right how well I'm being attacked by the leftists because so many people on the right liked what I was having to say, but there's people on the left who liked it.
But if people on the right like it, then it's got to be bad.
And that's what we saw with all of this jab stuff.
They were able to use that.
So you might expect that those who filed into clinics like cattle to get the jab would now have learned three important lessons, says Jeff Thomas.
This is from internationalman.com.
You would think that by now they might have learned three lessons.
Number one, don't trust Big Pharma.
You think? That would just be too obvious.
Why would they think that?
I mean, you know, you've got people like Stephen Colbert.
He's got the... Guys and hairy legs dancing like vaccine hypodermic needles and rockets and stuff like that.
Yeah, oh yeah, definitely want to get your information from somebody like that.
You would think that they don't trust the media, like Stephen Colbert, regarding Big Pharma.
And you would think that they don't trust the authorities as regards Big Pharma.
You would think that there would be some distrust and all that.
And yet, with few exceptions, that lesson doesn't seem to have been learned.
Some people are still getting tested whenever they get a cold.
Yeah. One only has to read the results of post-COVID studies that have been undertaken to arrive at the conclusion that the evidence is overwhelming.
A major con has been played on the world, a con that netted tens of billions of dollars for big pharma.
And the answer to the question, he said, I'm afraid, may well be harder to face than the fact that the majority of people have bought into this vaccine charade.
The answer as to why very few people have advanced their understanding of what's been done to them has more to do with human nature than with medical perceptions.
He's on to us.
That's exactly right.
It's unfortunately true that back when we went to school, we were taught almost entirely by rote.
We were not asked to learn why the world believed that warfare was necessary.
We were only told to memorize the names of the generals and the dates that the wars took place.
One of the best books.
I would highly recommend it to you.
I haven't read it for 50 years, so I might feel differently if I read it.
But I thought it was an excellent book at the time.
It was called The Reason Why.
And I took it in a British history course that I had to take as part of my core curriculum.
And it was about Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade.
And the guy who focused in particular on the guy who did that incredible blunder.
It was a blunder. It wasn't an act of bravery, first of all.
That's the reason why. This is why this thing happened.
It wasn't this guy who just manned up and I'm going to do an Alamo type of run or something.
And, you know, we get so many things from that.
Especially, you know, his...
His poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade, the thin red line, you know, that comes from that.
Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do or die.
And he says, well, here's the reason why this all happened.
But Lord Cardigan, who blundered into that thing, and unlike most of the guys that were there with him, he survived it.
He became a big hero in the UK. And, you know, Cardigan sweaters come from that as well.
The guy was an upper-class twit who had absolutely no military experience and knowledge, and he was made an officer because of his wealth and his class status, which is a very common thing.
And it was part of the Crimean War, so it's kind of topical from that standpoint as well.
And as this guy says, we're asked to read the works of great writers, but we're not expected to develop an understanding of their insights.
We're merely expected to memorize some famous quotes by them.
So when it comes to history, you memorize the wars, you memorize the dates, and some of the participants, the generals, and that type of stuff, but you don't really ask what was going on.
When it comes to, you know, what I was told, Declaration of Independence, well, you memorize the first half of the first paragraph, and that's it.
Stop right there. You've got to stop...
Before you get to the point and that to preserve these rights, these God-given rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, to preserve those, to guard them or whatever, governments are instituted by men.
And whenever those governments become destructive of those God-given rights, it is our right and our duty to alter or abolish them.
Oh, they didn't have you memorize that part of it.
They had you memorize the other part about happiness.
Stop right there with the happiness.
And so he says the primary principle of normal education was that all that mattered was that we could parrot back whatever we had been fed most recently.
They don't want to do critical thinking.
And that's one of the good things that's happened with this is people have, through this lockdown, And through parents being able to see what was happening actually in their kids' classroom, it was always the way that they would move.
Oh, it's not happening in my state, my school district, my school.
Or even if it was happening in your school, oh, it's not happening in my classroom.
Well, they could see that it was happening.
And so now you've got people understand they made everybody homeschool for a while.
And God works in mysterious ways, doesn't he?
His wonder is to perform.
He rides upon the...
He plants his footsteps in the sea and he rides upon the storm.
Or upon the pandemic, if you will, right?
Oh yeah? You people say, you shouldn't homeschool because of socialization.
Alright, I'm going to make schools de-socialize everybody.
We're going to put the kids apart.
We're going to put plastic around.
Wrap them in plastic. Wrap them in masks.
They can't talk to anybody. So let's see you explain that away.
Yeah. And then, oh, you can't do school at home and all the rest of the stuff.
So they made them do it. And then the parents got a chance to see it.
So... You know, we've got people, there's one guy now who is, he went to school, he's in high school, he's got a truck and he had big American flags on his truck.
They didn't like that. They wanted to kick him out of the government school because he had the government's flag.
What's up with that? Well, we know what's up with that.
This institution has been taken over by Marxists.
Antonio Gramsci, who was the person that Pete Buttigieg's father spent his entire life writing about.
And he was a hero to Sokvin Berkovich that Buttigieg's dad sent him to study under at Harvard.
That guy came up with the idea, we're going to march through the institutions.
That's how we're going to institute communism in the West.
And so they marched through these institutions.
These institutions, even though they're government institutions in America, they hate the government, they hate America and all the rest of this.
So they want to completely...
Destroy the foundations of this country.
So this kid looking at, oh, I can't have an American flag here.
He leaves and he's going to finish up homeschooling.
That's become a viable option for people.
And one of the key things about this is people look at it's a very rigorous way to school the kids.
We did not do it. We followed what most people call unschooling.
There's a lot of different ways that you can do it.
There's no right way or wrong way to do it.
Whatever works for your family and your kids.
We had a very informal approach.
We had some formal stuff with grammar and math, but I just kind of informally did their politics and history as it kind of moved me.
That's how I trained for this job.
But the...
But when you look at it, if you look at classical education, it works very much at rhetoric and at critical thinking.
So it begins in the early years when kids were very young, having them do a lot of rote memorization.
That's good at that point in time.
And then as their brains get a little change and they're able to understand critical thinking and stuff like that, they've now got a knowledge base that And you can get them to start thinking critically about that knowledge base.
And so it goes through these different structures.
It's a great curriculum, even though we didn't do it.
I highly recommend it to people if you can do it.
It requires a lot more discipline and structure than we were able to bring to bear with it.
But getting back to this, he said adults tend to study even less than they did when they were in school, as we all know.
And so they rely instead on the evening news to keep them informed.
We hear the latest urgent breaking news and we pay careful attention.
And then we follow the instructions that we're given.
You know, by the people in authority.
That's one of the key purposes of the schools.
They set up this factory system, but it's also to get people to trust, blindly trust, and authority.
And you don't speak unless you're called upon, right?
And now they want to say that to adults.
You don't speak unless you're called upon.
And you don't show up to these school board meetings and speak unless you're called upon.
And if we don't like what you have to say, you will be called upon to exit.
And so along the way we hear non-authoritative information, and we are told to classify any non-authoritative information.
That means not that it is credible, documented, tested.
That just means it doesn't come from the authorities.
Any information doesn't come from the authorities.
We classify that as a conspiracy theory and then promptly forget about it.
COVID masks have been taken off, but an understanding of the fraud that has been perpetrated has, for the majority of people, not been understood.
You see, there was a sizable number of us who refused to wear these things.
And that number began to grow and grow and grow until they said, well, all right, we're going to have to do something about this.
We'll get out in front of this parade of people refusing to do this, and we'll claim it was our idea.
And we'll claim that it's our idea to stop this because it worked.
And that's where these people are coming from right now.
He doesn't say that, but that's where they're coming from.
He says, if we and the majority of the people we know once again respond to the controlled input and ignore the peripheral input, we won't merely have missed the boat on the reality of the COVID scam.
And so where that leaves us today is Biden.
He was asked, as they're ramping this stuff up, well, let's do masks again.
Let's do social distancing again.
Let's do vaccines and all the rest of the stuff.
But he's got a new vaccine.
Listen to this. Mr. President, can you say anything about the uptick of COVID cases and new variants?
Yes, I can. As a matter of fact, I signed off this morning on a proposal that we have...
To present to the Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that works.
And tentatively, not decided finally yet, tentatively, it is recommended that, will likely be recommended that everybody get it, no matter what they got before or not.
Yeah, okay. So we're going to do a new one.
And this one works. Guarantee.
We haven't seen it yet, but we know already that it works.
And everybody's got to get it.
And we're going to sign off on this thing.
Does that sound familiar?
Doesn't he sound like Trump in 2020?
Uh-huh. Yeah.
The election variant, I guess, is what we've got coming up here.
And again, I'll just remind you of what Trump said the day after the debate.
He tweeted out after DeSantis said, you know, one of the reasons why everything is so messed up, Pence, because Pence was, you know, one of the reasons everything is so messed up is because of the way you lock down the economy and all the, you know, what you did to the economy with that stuff.
Yeah, let's not talk about what happened to people.
So Trump, compassionate as he is, So let's look at the people who were harmed by the vaccine that DeSantis pushed out there.
Wait a minute, pal, that's yours.
He said, wake me up when DeSantis apologizes for vaccinating more people than Trump and Fauci combined.
Trump and Fauci got people around the world vaccinated because they were pushing out the vaccines.
They were the arsenal of big pharmaceutical companies.
Trump and Fauci paid these pharmaceutical companies tens of billions of dollars just to get started.
And then they made tens of billions of dollars or hundreds of billions of dollars selling this stuff around the world and blackmailing one country after the other.
How many times have we talked about how they blackmailed countries, and now it's coming out?
You know, I talked about it when it was three South American countries, Brazil, Argentina, and a third one that was unnamed because they signed on to it.
They were blackmailing them, saying, you're going to hold us harmless, not just for the vaccine, but for any, um, Shipping errors, any manufacturing errors, any negligence that we have in manufacturing this?
I mean, there's one level of it where you say, well, we were told to get this thing out, that we don't have time to test it, but we're going to be held harmless for what it does to people.
But that's quite another thing to say, well, then, you know, no matter how cavalier they are about this, there can never be any negligence.
And that's what they were demanding.
And not just from them.
From a lot of different places.
Take a look at this just as a reminder, you know.
The EU was talking about how they wanted to have the agreements that had been signed by the European nations exposed.
And this goes back about a year and a half ago.
Were you properly informed about what is going on?
Because we had a lot of debates at the beginning of this year in the parliament where we demanded full access to the contracts signed between these companies that produce the vaccines and the European Union.
And I quote from an article in Euroactive who says the following in an article from January 22nd, 2021 that says the following.
The contract Signed between pharmaceutical company and the European Commission in November of 2020 was made available to MAPS on Tuesday in a redacted format after the company agreed to open the contract up to scrutiny.
Say what? Say what?
So you're imposing a medical product on the European citizens without them knowing what's in these contracts?
Not only them knowing, but us, we don't know.
So after a lot of pressure in the Parliament, as the article says, these contracts were disclosed to us and to the public.
And I want to show you some of those pages.
And you tell me if this is okay for the European citizens to be exposed to this situation where they cannot come to work.
They cannot enter a store.
They cannot go with their kids to schools, where they cannot freely move from one country to another.
Unless, in one situation, he's vaccinated with one of these products.
So these are the contracts that were disclosed by the Commission with the approval of the company.
This is unheard of.
And I will just show you the pages.
These are the pages.
All redacted. So this is the fundamental principle, right?
Of democracy. I'm asking you guys, is this transparency?
Do you see anything? Because we don't.
Yeah, we don't. Not transparent at all.
Completely opaque. Completely blacked out.
And so, as all of this is happening, Trump responds to DeSantis saying, you locked everybody down.
You told everybody they couldn't get out.
And look what you did to the economy.
He said, Trump admitting.
Implying. That his vaccine killed.
And so, yeah, the person was elderly, but so what?
So were the people that they all said died of COVID. So by the same standard, we play the same rules.
Look, DeSantis has blood on his hands as well, but he has pushback on this stuff more than anybody else has.
Not much of a virtue in that, actually, either.
But Trump, Trump, of all people, Continuing to push down on this for the longest time, bragging about how he's the father of the vaccine, how many people he had, how many lives he had saved, and because he is a deeply wounded narcissist who wants to get revenge for what was said about his lockdown policies and how he was bribing people to lock down and bribing hospitals to kill people.
He's so infuriated by that.
That he blows himself up with his own bomb, right?
And so, as I say, hoisted by his own petard.
That's exactly right.
We're going to take a quick break.
And I just want to remind you, please, if you like the broadcast, Please like the broadcast wherever you are listening to it.
That helps us with visibility.
It also helps us if you're on the podcast platforms especially to just give it a review and to just say something nice.
You don't have to say a whole lot about it, but if you give it a positive review, when people are looking, if they can...
See the podcast. They will see the ratings there, and that helps us to get people to sometimes listen to it.
So we would appreciate that.
It doesn't cost anything other than just a little bit of time, and that would help us a great deal.
And just also remind you, if you go to davidknight.gold, You want to prepare for your financial future outside of this system, this prison system that they're trying to create with CBDC. If you want to hedge against the stock market mania, it truly is amazing when you look at the interest rate stuff that happened last week.
We've all got to suffer with higher interest rates because of the stock market bubble, right?
Because that's got to stop.
You know, we got the economy is just too heated and the Federal Reserve is just going to keep raising interest rates no matter how deep the recession gets for everybody else because these guys on Wall Street are partying it up with other people's money.
I mean, that's basically what's happening here.
And they're going to keep going and going and going down that line, but they cannot do that indefinitely.
And so with the interest rates going up, it puts gold on sale.
Now is a good time. DavidKnight.gold for gold and silver from Tony Arderman.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
The Common Man.
They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
All right, let's talk about Maui.
We'll eventually get to Trump and his mugshot millions, but let's talk about Maui here.
Outdated bare electrical wires and leaning poles.
This is the sorry state of the infrastructure there in Maui.
Not just the overgrown brush that the electrical wires are running through.
With this heavy wind and all the rest of the stuff.
And as I pointed out last week, how did it get to be this way?
Well, they're spending tens of millions of dollars on renewable energy mandates.
You know, they have functional fuels, but they can't use them.
Stop these fossil fuels.
We've got to have solar and wind.
And you're going to have to ramp up to get that stuff.
It's going to make all of our electricity much, much, much more expensive.
Can't afford to have it. It's going to make it rare.
It's going to make it intermittent.
And because of that, they can't do anything to fix the electric grid infrastructure.
Just like they don't care about fixing our roads and bridges, they don't care about this.
And so you've got actual bare electrical wires that they have video of.
As a matter of fact...
As many people point out, if they're insulated, you're not going to see the kind of sparking.
They can see the sparking coming off of it as it's being hit with the brush that's being blown against it.
You've got telephone poles or power poles that are leaning.
I remember it was that way where we were in Texas.
I've never seen that anywhere else, but I saw it in Texas where we lived.
And evidently, it's there as well.
You know, you get these areas... Like Austin that are under Democrat control, or Hawaii that are under Democrat control.
They don't care about infrastructure.
Not at all. So, as they pointed out, it's very unlikely that a fully insulated cable would have sparked and caused a fire in dry vegetation.
But experts who watched this saw the sparking, saw the arcing, and said, well, that's got to be bare wires that they haven't even done anything with.
Hawaiian Electric said in response, didn't deny it, They said, well, we've long recognized the unique threats from climate change.
And so we're spending lots of money on climate change.
That's the change, right?
Can't do anything about the infrastructure.
And if it's a fire, it's going to be because of climate change.
So, you know, thick foliage, bare electrical wires arcing.
Compounding the problem is that many of the utilities, 60,000 mostly wooden power poles, which its own documents described as built to, quote, an obsolete 1960s standard, that's what the Hawaiian Electric Company said about them, were leaning and near the end of their projected lifespan.
They were nowhere close to meeting the 2002 National standard.
The key components of Hawaii's electric grid be able to withstand 105 mph winds.
But they're going to spend tens of millions of dollars on renewable energy mandates to chase the climate change MacGuffin.
Even tourists that drive around the island are like, what is that?
They're leaning quite significantly because the winds over time literally just pushed them over.
That obviously is not going to withstand 60, 70 mile per hour winds.
So the infrastructure was not strong enough for this kind of windstorm.
The infrastructure itself was just compromised.
And again, do you understand the power of neglect?
Do you understand how they can create an environment where everything is just ready with a spark to burn it down?
Focus on that.
Something can be done about that.
Don't focus on speculation about directed energy weapons.
Focus on what this deliberate sabotage was.
60% of the utility poles on West Maui were still down as of August the 14th.
And that's 450 out of 750 poles down on the 14th.
And then there's some amazing video that is being collected now.
And they don't like people collecting video because There was a Fox News reporter whose family, they're keeping the media out, don't want any media reporting what they're doing to people.
And there's a Fox News reporter who got in because his family has long had property on the island.
And then when he started filing reports, they came to him and said, you know, you've got to leave.
And he said, no, I'm not leaving. I have freedom of speech and I'm a resident here.
So he's continually filing reports.
Most of the stuff is coming from individuals on the island.
And I had a listener who sent me a channel on YouTube.
A guy's been doing some really good work.
These are very long videos.
I'm just going to give you a taste of it at the very beginning of it.
His name is Jeff And he spells it G-E-O-F-F. And the last name is C-Y-G-N-U-S. And he's talking about...
Here's a picture of the police requiring permission slips from people to get in.
I'm doing a voiceover.
This is footage earlier at Napoli Park.
I didn't feel safe...
Speaking freely about the situation while I was there, but the police are issuing permission slips for residents to freely come and go to their homes to other parts of the aisle.
How long have you guys been in line to get these?
Three hours? Three hours.
Been in line three hours, but it's probably longer now, you know?
Okay, I just didn't want to talk over where I was actually speaking live there, but I'm going to walk along the line so you can see there are thousands of people here at this park.
There were two separate locations where they told people to come get these permission slips which would allow them to leave their houses, travel to other parts of the island that were unaffected, and return.
Now, one very important thing to note with all of this is many of these people, including us, live approximately 20 minutes away from the fire.
And we are very, very far away from any structure or any, you know, any building, car, anything like that, that was directly affected by the fire.
We watched the fire from very far away.
And of course, this is something that we've seen over and over again in coastal areas when there's a hurricane coming in and the federal government would get involved.
And as I mentioned before, you know, I even had one of my sons win a contest at the Fraser Institute talking about the difference between the way FEMA and the federal government handled a disaster, hurricane disaster on the coast.
People kept away from their homes.
Again, permission slip.
You know, hall monitors and all the rest of this stuff like this.
Treating people like kids.
This is why schools are so important to them.
But, you know, contrasting the way the federal government and FEMA and the state government acted when there was a hurricane, widespread disaster, but even the people whose homes were not affected, they couldn't get back to their homes and that type of thing.
It's one of the reasons why people will try to ride out a hurricane, because the government will come in and keep you away from your home.
And so if there's some roof damage or something like that, then it's going to be a big damage by the time you get back.
Anyway, contrasted that with what happened pretty close to us when a tornado came through and took down a bunch of power lines.
The local government, sheriff's department, went in and kept people away from the downed power lines, and everything else was handled by volunteer businesses who donated all kinds of necessities, and they put them on church parking lots, and the church people came there and handed them out to people for free.
And it was taken care of.
Nobody was kept out of their homes.
Nobody had to have permission slips to get back into their homes.
Another one that he's got, so you see people waiting there, still standing there, three hours in line, trying to get permission to be able to go and come from their home.
This is just criminal.
Criminal, what the government is doing.
Whether it's intentional or just incompetence, it's absolutely criminal.
And then the gas lines.
Okay, guys, I want to show you what it was like to have to get gas in West Maui for days and days and days after this fire that occurred quite far away from where I am now.
It was, even though there was gas in the tanks, in the ground, in the local gas stations, that...
We're not affected at all.
We're not anywhere near the fire.
You could not purchase gas.
There was no backup generator.
There didn't seem to be any effort to bring him back online.
And so you had to wait in lines that were miles, miles long.
I think that's what it was to be given to you.
You had to spend your whole day in these lines.
And we tried this for three days because we didn't have enough fuel.
Even if the situation wasn't that we needed special permission slips to come back to our home...
Even then, we didn't have enough fuel to leave West Maui.
What a lot of people don't realize is West Maui is fairly isolated from the rest of the island.
It's not a 10-minute drive to get out of West Maui.
I mean, from where we are, it's like a 45-minute drive, right?
So you have to have a good amount of fuel.
You're running into weird traffic and stuff.
You get the idea of what is happening there.
Government will always come in and make things worse.
Don't do anything to help anybody.
This is why, you know, prepping is not just about a societal collapse, it's about any kind of an emergency that can happen.
And the closer you are to Democrat politicians running the system, the more likely that is to happen and the longer it's going to last, quite frankly.
On Health Impact News, Brian Shohavi put together clips of people who are talking about what I talked about last week, how the police were blocking them from escaping and trying to route them into places where there was already a fire.
And the only way that they survived was to disobey the police.
Many survivors, he said, are claiming police prevented them from escaping, some claiming that they only survived because they did not obey police orders.
Others who did, died.
And so he put on the, again, you might want to take a look at this.
I don't have clips from it, but he's got one after the other.
17 minutes long, he put on his Bitchute channel.
If you want to see how government incompetence or maliciousness, you decide which it is, can wind up killing people.
The DEA is being investigated for hiring agents who failed lie detectors.
So they give them a lie detector test as a condition to working for them.
And I'm somewhat sympathetic to people about the lie detector test because Karen used to work as a district personnel manager for a convenience store chain in Houston.
And they all knew that the lie detector tests did not work.
They only worked if you could intimidate somebody, right?
If somebody was intimidated by the lie detector test, and if the person believed that the lie detector test worked, well, then the lie detector worked, right?
But if you got somebody who was, you know, Fauci, if you were to put Fauci, it'd be a total waste of time to put Fauci in a lie detector test.
He would pass it with flying colors, and he could give you multiple conflicting answers in the same lie detector test, and he would never flick the needle.
You know, there's people like that.
You really just don't care.
And so there's no magic formula that it has there.
It's just essentially a con game there.
But, you know, when we look at the DEA and other things like that, you know, don't they all fail the lie detector test?
Don't they all take an oath to the Constitution?
How in the Constitution do you square your mission, the DEA, Drug Enforcement Agency, riveting whatever you wish, and then taking all these extraordinary measures against people?
How do you square that with your oath to the Constitution?
There isn't any way to do that.
Polygraph training includes methods of deception and ways examiners can monitor for signs that someone is slowing their breath or using other countermeasures to subvert the test.
Both the whistleblower complaint and the federal watchdog report describes examiners feeling pressure to pass people who are suspected of cheating.
Again, the whole thing is a joke.
But the big lie, the big lie is the one that the government sells everybody about the war on drugs.
A couple of comments.
Stephen Caspar on Rockfin.com.
It's all about, it's all the people who are vaccinated that are getting sick over and over again.
Yeah, yeah. And a lot of this, again, you know, they go in and they believe in all this stuff and they believe in the tests and they want to have it.
And they really do, many of them.
I want to test positive.
And they believe all this stuff.
And at the very beginning of this, and a lot of this was exposed, again, in August, the American Hospital Association said that CMS, the government agency that pays for Medicare and Medicaid, was not going to give them the bonus that Trump wanted to give them of 20% if they identified somebody as having COVID. They get a 20% bonus on everything they do to that person.
And they said, at that point in time, in August of 2020, they said, we want to see your PCR tests.
Again, they ramped the cycles up, the cycle threshold of 40, which means that they're magnifying the results by 1.1 trillion times, and you can find anything at that magnification level.
The people who use it have always said that.
And by the way, nobody's talking about cycle thresholds again anymore.
So they're running tests and they're finding COVID in cases, they say.
What is their magnification?
If you want to push back on these people, that's one of the things you need to push them on.
But they were using the test and they said, but you're denying us the bonus that you promised to pay?
You told us that you didn't have enough tests at the beginning of this.
And you told us to just do clinical diagnosis.
If we thought somebody had COVID, they had COVID. And that's the way this whole thing rolled out.
And again, there were no reported deaths when Trump declared an emergency, locked the country down, and incentivized that.
He declared a national emergency, released all the money, and it was the money, the bribery, that got all these governors, from Gavin Newsom to Andrew Cuomo and the Republicans in between, got them to all do the lockdown, because he handsomely rewarded them, just like he did the hospitals.
On Rockfin, a new study shows, thank you for the tip, He says, when a layperson or anyone actually speaks up or demonstrates against tyranny, it is the police who will actually carry out the violence for a tyrannical government.
That's right. Put their hands on you.
Cops work for their pensions.
Cops obey my solution.
Break police unions by creating a mass bank run where the police pensions are held.
I don't know. Sit back and watch the police rot and storm the capitals.
Well, people need to understand that there's a different standard for police than there is for anybody else who's accused of something.
The police union has put in different rules.
For evidence and for how they are treated whenever they are accused of wrongdoing.
And it really is the police unions that are at the heart of that.
That's absolutely true. On Rockfin, Audi MR. Hey, how you doing?
Modern Retro Radio. He says, it's obvious that many police are in on these false flag events.
Yep, yep. And you look at this and...
But the police are the ones who are doing it.
And they're just following orders, they say.
The Nuremberg Defense.
But it's also these standard operating procedures.
All of these government agencies, from FEMA on down, have created these things where once they get in charge, they're going to lord it over you.
And that's one of the things that we've got to be concerned about.
The natural disasters that happen are just kind of a preview of what they want to do with these pandemic lockdowns and all the rest of it.
On Rumble, Obsolete Man, 1776.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that tip.
It's not much, Dave, but thank you for not bowing to the BS since day one.
I do miss you being the morning show, and I miss the old band chat.
And I love the Common Man commercial, Ed.
It is awesome. Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that. I need to do some new commercials, but there's just so many things that are happening outside of the show.
But that did come together, and I think it is the key thing.
And I think that really is the Common Man is really what Oliver Anthony was trying to reach in that.
I think it really did strike a chord.
As I said, you know, he says DeSantis, these other Republicans, have to sit there and listen to the fact that they played this on the screen.
He said, it cracks me up.
But he said, I thought it was kind of funny seeing the responses to it, like that song has something to do with Joe Biden.
He says it doesn't have anything to do with him.
He says, you know, it's a lot bigger than Joe Biden.
That song is written about the people on that stage and a lot more, too, not just them.
In other words, he says this is about the entire ruling class that's out there.
It's not just Biden. That's what DeSantis said.
He said, yeah, you know, people look at this, they're frustrated because of Joe Biden and because of Hunter and things like that.
It's not about that. It was sad to see DeSantis spin that in a partisan way.
It's not about that.
These people are completely out of touch and unresponsive to what the American people want.
We want to be left alone.
And we want to stop these people who have to know what we do, know what we think, and control everything that we do.
That's the key thing.
He said, I hate, I do hate to see that song being weaponized, like I see the right trying to characterize me as one of their own, and then I see the left trying to discredit me, I guess, in retaliation.
That's got to stop. If you watch the response videos on YouTube to the song, it's not conservative people responding to the song, not even necessarily Americans, he said.
It's pretty wide, because this is a worldwide takeover.
And we all see it. Question is, we just haven't figured out how to stop these people yet, right?
But the key thing is to understand it.
And if we've got people who are still gaslighted by this whole pandemic thing and aching to put a mask back on, aching to get another shot, you're never going to get 100% of the people to understand this.
And then so the part of this, and we don't see anybody who's taking leadership position, certainly in Washington.
That's why I say you've got to look at this at a local level.
And it doesn't mean just because somebody raises their hand and says that they're a constitutional sheriff that they've got it right either.
I don't know what this guy in Virginia was thinking when he went in and strong-armed this Amish farmer because he was slaughtering his own cows for his family and for other people who own those cows.
That's got to stop.
Maybe the guy doesn't really understand it.
I think maybe the appropriate response is to, I'm going to send him the book, The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate.
I think Matt Trujillo's book does a great job of putting that there.
He is concerned about what people think because he has to run for election.
That is one thing about the local sheriff that we might have a little bit of leverage with him.
But again, if you've got somebody who either is on the wrong team or he doesn't really understand what's going on, that's how they get these things going.
So whether it's malice or ignorance that is happening with it, we can do something about the ignorant side of it, perhaps.
You'll read that. It's a short, short book.
So, again, when you look at what is happening with the...
With people's understanding of seeing what is happening in Maui, seeing what is happening in the economy, seeing what is happening in the Democrat cities, people are getting very concerned.
And there's been several articles talking about the search terms on the Internet living off the grid.
A lot of people are looking for that, ways to do that.
The driving force, writes Zero Hedge, the driving force behind finding a rural piece of land for dirt cheap, as Oliver Anthony had done before he had this song, buying or building a tiny home, installing solar panels, and sourcing your own food and water, that might have to do with the worst inflation storm in a generation.
It also might have to do with Democrat cities imploding under the weight of soaring violent crime.
And that's true. How are you going to do that?
People are searching on the internet.
Well, guess what? When something happens, like we saw in Maui, and you don't have any power, you're not going to be able to search to find out what to do.
And you need to...
Take action before that happens.
CivilDefenseManual.com, Jack Lawson's thing.
Again, a couple of good chapters for free that you can see at CivilDefenseManual.com.
Two-volume book and worth its weight in gold, I think.
You take some basic preparations and he's got ways to save money.
Instead of going out and buying storable food, buy cans.
As they're available, you know, just gradually go out and build up your collection of canned food and things like that.
But it says a lot more detailed information than that about self-defense, about living on your own and preparing for this type of stuff.
So you get this, you prepare, and then if power goes down, you can go back and you got refresher courses that are there out of the book instead of having to rely on the internet.
But people are starting to understand that it's a problem.
Capitalizing on off-the-grid living is Home Depot, which is now selling tiny homes that they call getaway pads.
So they're trying to put together Essentially a getaway pad that you can get away from the city in some remote area.
But again, that's $44,000.
You can do it a lot cheaper on your own instead of a turnkey system.
We've also seen the RV Industry Association report multiple times this year that parked mobile home shipments...
Are surging on a monthly basis versus the same months last year.
Yet another indication of housing affordability issues.
But I think it's not just the housing affordability issues.
I think it is also people wanting to get away from these dangerous cities.
They want to pack us in there because that's the way they control us.
Just take a look at what they're doing in Maui.
Once they get you under their thumb, it never stops.
Once you get out into these rural areas, there's things like bears that you're going to have to deal with as well.
And in Connecticut, they're having so many bear attacks coming into the suburban and rural areas in Connecticut and engaging with people.
That they're finally thinking that they might allow people to use their guns on them.
This is from the New York Times.
A state plagued by bear encounters turns to an old solution, guns.
Earlier this month, Sarah Grant was inside her home in Sherman, Connecticut, a small town near the New York border.
Her two-year-old was upstairs.
Her newborn daughter was in her arms, and suddenly she saw her four-year-old son running down the driveway crying, and a bear was close by.
She said, I scream louder than I'd ever screamed before.
And her golden retriever, Jake, leaped forward, chased the bear off the property, driving it into the woods.
She said, he got multiple treats, an ice cream cone, a whole bunch of other stuff.
But look, don't risk your dog either, okay?
Get a gun to defend yourself against these bears.
Just yesterday at church, a friend of ours, they live in an area.
We've not seen any bears since we've been here.
But where they live, they see them all the time.
And they took a picture of a really big one.
And he had scars all over his face.
I mean, he'd been in one bear fight after the other, evidently, with other bears.
And he was really big.
But human bear interactions in Connecticut have gone up so much in recent years that just this year, They had bears in Avon, Connecticut, crashed a parade, broke into a bakery.
Elsewhere in the state, they have invaded houses.
And we get these reports all the time.
The danger was underscored this week in nearby Westchester County, New York, when a bear attacked a seven-year-old boy playing in his backyard.
The bear was tested negative for rabies after they killed it.
Connecticut is the only state in the Northeast with a significant bear problem but no bear hunting season.
And so one person who is a leading bear biologist in Connecticut said hunting bears, dead bears in an area, are going to deter live bears from coming into the populated areas.
He says it's all about altering the behavior of the bears and how they perceive humans.
For the most part, they think that humans are positive because they get treats and garbage and stuff like that from them.
Others say the law allowing people to kill bears in self-defense is dangerous and nearly unenforceable.
They're skeptical that law enforcement officials will be able to determine if people truly felt threatened before shooting.
Oh, so benefit of the doubt goes to the bear.
As they say, shoot, shovel, and shut up.
And then you've got the Humane Society in Connecticut.
They've set up a coalition to protect bears, not humans.
And they say hunting bears is unsafe.
Well, I don't know. I guess that's the position that Bob Barker would take.
He just passed away. The Price is Right guy.
He was always in a PETA. And I think I saw a cartoon.
It showed Bob Barker with scissors.
And it showed dogs in heaven are running.
Because Bob Barker is there with his scissors.
Scissors. But I think the best comment that I saw about that was since he did prices, right?
Somebody said congratulations to Bob Barker for getting as close to 100 as possible without going over.
He was just under 100 years old.
Had a long life.
And in spite of his misguided PETA years, seemed like a nice guy.
But Biden is trying to shut down hunting programs.
Yeah. Going to throw us to the wolves, throw us to the bears, and archery programs.
Doesn't even want people to have archery programs.
Gun Owners of America says the disastrous consequences of this Republican-backed bipartisan Safer Communities Act keep showing up.
This past last year, you had Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas joining with Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
You know, they don't like hunting in Connecticut.
They hate it. Now the latest gun control comes in the form of funding cuts for school hunting and archery training programs, just as the school year is beginning.
And they say that it is a tremendous number of kids who take these things every year.
The Department of Education cut off this funding due to the agency's interpretation of Well, here's the problem.
As I've always said, you know, when Trump says, I didn't vaccinate anybody, right?
How do they always get these things done?
Well, it's by bribing people.
We'll give you money or we'll take money away from you.
We'll give you money to do what we want you to do.
If you don't allow boys' and girls' bathrooms, we'll take that money back away from you or the hunting program and that type of thing.
And that's basically what the Department of Education is.
It is to control curriculum.
And it is to bribe and control and punish the schools.
And that's how they are centrally controlling the education.
And they do that with everything else.
It's a tried and true method.
And you've seen this at the state level.
DeSantis and some others, when he was fighting some of these Trump rules and Fauci rules at the state level, He was saying, well, we're going to take state funding away from this school system over here if they're going to require these Fauci rules everywhere.
So everybody understands that, except for the people who make excuses for Trump.
They don't understand that he got what he wanted with money.
The buck stops with the president, and it also starts with the president to bribe people.
While the Republicans helped to introduce and pass this legislation, the Safer Communities Act, they seem to be confused about the outcome, but Gun Owners of America has been warning people about this.
When Congress passes ambiguous laws, It allows the bureaucracy to put the details in, right?
And this is nothing new.
It goes back to what we were talking about earlier.
You know, when Nancy Pelosi said, we've got to pass Obamacare to find out what's in it.
How are you going to find out what's in it?
She was telling the truth. We're going to pass this broad thing just like they passed the Safer Communities Act.
And then we're going to figure out, we're going to wait and see what the bureaucracy is.
Under the executive branch, the deep state, we're going to see what they decide to do with this.
And so this is one of the things that they've decided to do with this Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
According to the International Hunters Education Association, these courses certify over a half million students annually.
So, you know, let's not let them have access to a gun.
That would be something we don't want to have happen.
On Rockfin, Doug Elkins, thank you very much for the tip.
He says, thank you, David and family.
Well, thank you, Doug. I appreciate that.
And Greg Talent, thank you.
Thank you very much. He says, a dose of truth and a cup of coffee.
Oh, I appreciate that.
Thank you. On Rumble, Jason Barker.
Hey, Jason, thank you very much for that.
Don't forget to plug the merchandise, he says.
Yeah, we have some new merchandise.
We have a...
A MacGuffin t-shirt.
And I've not really plugged that too much, but that is a good conversation starter if people want to know what the MacGuffin is.
I think a lot of people are open to seeing the connections between these different MacGuffins and see that the agenda doesn't change even though the excuse does.
On Rockfin, Mr.
Goldfold, may I request a guest, please?
Sam Bushman of the Constitutional Sheriff's and Peace Officers Association would be a good one.
The Constitutional Sheriff's Association is available to civilians, yes, and law enforcement alike.
You can be part of what Sheriff Mack calls his posse.
I've talked to Sheriff Mack many times.
I always thought it was for cops only.
I spoke with Sam regarding the Amish farmer and the Virginia sheriff.
Sam has a lot of great info to share.
Good. All right. Well, there's a phone number for him that he gave Travis.
So thank you very much. I've already talked with him regarding a possible interview.
All right. Well, we'll get that set up.
Thank you. Appreciate that.
Always interested in talking to the sheriffs.
They can make things much better.
Or much worse. And that's true of government in general, but especially the government that is closest to you.
And they get us distracted on things that are very, very far away from us that could be stopped if we had the right people locally.
And we saw that happening during 2020 many times.
Just to...
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, I want to talk some updates as to what is going on with the election, what happened with the mug shots and the mug merchandise.
You're talking about somebody plugging merchandise.
I don't do nearly as good a job as Trump does.
But we'll talk about that.
We'll also talk about what is happening with the candidates' positions on abortion.
I want to reemphasize what our role needs to be in it.
So we're going to be right back.
Stay with us. Thank
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, you know, President Trump sells merchandise just like we do.
He's got t-shirts. He's got mugs like this mug that we sell.
I don't see that he's got any.
Oh, yeah, he does have a cooler as well.
He's got a beverage cooler. We do, too.
But unlike us, he made $7.1 million in two days.
He did it off a mugshot.
I wonder if I got arrested if I could make $7.1 million.
I don't think so, no. I don't think so at all.
Hours after the arrest, his campaign released a line of merchandise plastered with his mugshot.
Underneath it, the slogan, never surrender.
But he did surrender.
This is so difficult on Trump.
I mean, he could just make it.
Fauci, I'm surprised Fauci didn't sell him.
Oh, he didn't. He sold pharmaceutical merchandise.
He didn't need to have a website for it.
He sold Pandemic Lies and all the rest of this stuff.
And people bought into it really big.
So then he's adding all that now to his MAGA stuff, Make America Gulag Again.
So the former president didn't spend very long inside the Fulton Jail, however.
He was just in there long enough to take the shot, and he was in and out.
Unlike someone else who was still there.
He raised $4.18 million on Friday alone, the highest grossing day of his entire campaign.
The campaign has brought in nearly $20 million in the last three weeks amid two separate indictments.
And yet, as he was making seven, you know, biggest day that he'd had yet, you know, $4 million in one day of merchandise, And then $7 million by the time he got to day two.
And yet, he doesn't have any money for his co-defendants.
Especially this one guy.
One Trump co-defendant.
His name is Harrison Floyd.
Not Ford, but Harrison Floyd.
And he doesn't have money for a lawyer.
He doesn't have money for bail.
And he is now sitting in that rotting jail there.
You know, we keep hearing Trump say, well, they're coming after me because I'm between you and them.
Tell that to the January 6th people rotting in jail, being tortured for a couple of years.
Tell that to this guy.
The same thing is happening.
You know, Trump made $250 million off these people over this election garbage.
He encouraged people to go to January the 6th, and so did Alex.
I don't even know what Alex's Stop the Steal thing was supposed to be doing, right?
Trump was saying we're going to do some legal challenges, but again, most of the money went to him.
The first $8,000 that anybody gave went to Trump and to the Republican National Committee, and then if he did more than that, he said he would use it for legal expenses.
And yet they did very little.
And he stuffed a lot of lawyers.
And after he made $250 million and got everybody to go to January the 6th, I don't know what the point of that was really, except to just have a rallying point for people to give money to Alex and people to give money to Trump.
But after all that stuff happened, the people that he encouraged to go there, the people he told to go to the Capitol and everything, those people wound up going to jail.
And he was still in office for two more weeks and he didn't do anything to pardon these people.
They knew what was going to happen to him, but he didn't pardon anybody.
Why? Well, because that would have put him at risk.
That would have, you know, but they came after him anyway.
Came after him anyway. So, not a penny for this guy who is in jail now.
And he's a guy who is running Black Voices for Trump.
Think about the optics of this.
You've got 19 people, including Trump, who've been indicted.
And the black man is the one who goes to jail.
And the rest of these people go free.
Now, a lot of these lawyers are not happy about this, and a lot of the lawyers don't have the money to pay for this multi-million dollar defense that's going to be there.
And as I said last week, It's a really bad strategy for Trump to not pay the legal fees of these people.
As long as he's defending them, they can coordinate stuff instead of the prosecutor turning people on each other.
As he's building up a sense of abandonment and resentment with these people, especially his former lawyers, is he setting himself up to be trapped like that?
But just the optics of the one black person who is running an organization called Black Voices for Trump.
He's the one who goes to jail.
He doesn't even get out on bail.
He said in his first court appearance that he couldn't afford a private lawyer and he had been denied representation by a public defender because he did not qualify.
How do you get denied by a public defender?
I don't understand. Maybe they said that he made too much money or something.
He said it typically costs between $40,000 to $100,000 just to retain a private lawyer to fly to Georgia.
He said, I cannot afford an attorney for something like this.
He said he didn't want to put his family in debt.
So perhaps he was above an income level is the only thing I can figure out why he's not getting a public defender.
He maybe had too much money to qualify for that, and he doesn't want to put his family in debt, and Trump is just going to let him go to jail.
And this is the same, the Fulton County Jail, this is the same one that they were gleefully running all these articles about, the mainstream media hoping that Trump would be put in there for a short period of time.
This being investigated by the Department of Justice, Federal Department of Justice, for violence, for unsanitary conditions, the deaths of 15 inmates in just the last year.
One of those was a man whose family says in a lawsuit he was eaten alive by bedbugs.
The pictures that they have of the...
Conditions in that prison are absolutely horrific.
You wouldn't think there'd be anything like that in America.
And yet, there is.
And they had the walls, the concrete walls there.
They showed how people could chip them off and then take those things and use them as shivs to attack other people.
Horrific. And Trump is just going to let this guy rot in that jail.
Really smart, Trump.
Really smart. But it is consistent with him.
He has no loyalty to anyone.
Everyone must be loyal to him.
Well, he's going to find out these people aren't going to be loyal to him.
Guard. Hey, Guard.
How you doing? Guard Goldsmith on Rockfin.
Thank you for the tip. He says, Happy Monday.
Quick testimony. On Saturday, I took notes on numerous of your show segments, David.
Thank you. You fill each program with insights, and later today, it's time to order my MacGuffin shirt.
Well, thank you. Someday, I'll enjoy an egg MacGuffin.
The breakfast sandwich you just can't get.
Yeah, that's right.
I think it's one of the reasons why we have to spell it M-A-C, so people don't confuse it with a McMuffin.
That's M-C. Floyd, by the way, this guy who was running Black Voices for Trump, is a former U.S. Marine, mixed martial arts fighter.
He also ran for Congress.
They've accused him of participating in a scheme to pressure an election worker to falsely admit to voting fraud.
So, again, as they put it in this mainstream media article from Yahoo, Floyd's appearance comes after a momentous day in which Trump's mugshot from jail was released and he made $4 million.
I would say that his appearance, his imprisonment, His imprisonment on the day that Trump makes a record over $4 million.
I mean, can people not see what's happening with these rich men north of Richmond?
This is a rich man north of Washington, D.C. Of course, now he's moved to Florida.
But seriously, they're not between us and them.
This guy Harrison Floyd is between Trump and these other people.
That's why he got indicted.
Because they want him to squeal on Trump.
And Trump is going to make that happen, perhaps.
Who knows? There's a lot of people.
The January Sixers got between Trump and his enemies in this Game of Thrones.
After spending about 20 minutes in jail on Thursday evening, Trump got out and made $4 million the next day.
It's like a bank robber, you know?
Or these people in San Francisco, you know, go in each time and rob less than $1,000 and it's a misdemeanor.
Nobody does anything about it.
You just keep going in over and over again.
Or somebody who commits a crime and makes a fantastic amount of money and then, all right, I'll go do the time and, you know, look at it as...
They're averaging out their income.
Well, you know, he made $4 million for 20 minutes in jail.
What has taken place here is a travesty of justice.
I absolutely agree with Trump for the first time.
He's talking about himself.
Yeah, it is a travesty of justice, pal, for what you've done to the people who supported you.
The people you threw under the bus.
This group of people in Atlanta...
The people who you stole their wallet and then threw them under the bus in Washington, D.C. for January the 6th?
That's what's disgusting.
Absolutely disgusting.
Anyway, so as all this is happening, you see the places that are Trump cheerleaders.
Dave Trabert, real clear wire, says the real threat to Democrats is a black person with a mind of their own.
Well, I guess somebody like Harrison Floyd is a real threat to everybody.
Look, the threat to us, the threat to black people with a mind of their own, the threat to white people, the threat to anybody with a mind of their own, the threat to us all, are those guys.
Republicans and Democrats.
It's a bipartisan cult of professional wrestling, and they're going to continue to be a threat to our lives if we continue to be their patsies and their pawns in this game of 4D chess.
That is what is happening over and over again.
Ryan McMacon at the Mises Institute says the state protects itself while crime against ordinary people surges.
And it begins with these politicians who protect themselves and throw everybody else under the bus.
But he's talking about the fact that going back to what has been written by many economists saying one way that you can measure the corruption of a state is to look at the difference in the way they treat crimes against the state versus crimes against other citizens, right? Do they even care? And of course, you know, in California they don't.
It's kind of like the observation that Jim Rogers made when he was traveling, and he said, I've noticed that if you look at the spread between the black market and the official currency trading rate, that's a pretty good metric of how corrupt a country is.
There are certain things like that.
If you look at the way the State Department looks to see whether or not an election is rigged, Is they look at the official results and they compare them to the exit polls.
And if they differ by more than 5%, they say, well, this is a rigged election.
And I've been talking about this way before the 2020 election.
And I talked about it a lot in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
I said, why not, you know, the Trump people, just go out there and get that metric, you know?
You're doing all this stuff with the voting machines and everything else like that.
And again, you know, the voting machines have been there a long time and for years before the 2020 election.
I talked about how corrupt the history of these voting machines was.
You know, Smartmatic was created by Hugo Chavez, by some friends of his in Venezuela.
Got him elected all the time.
And then they started taking it to other countries where the Marxists in Brazil were getting elected and rigged elections that people didn't believe.
You had the anti-Marxist candidate was leading significantly the day before the election.
They had a big soccer game, packed stadium, and the incumbent Marxist was booed out of the stadium.
And then the next day, the Marxist is losing 60-40, and then the voting machines go down, and when they come back, it's been flipped.
And now the Marxist is winning 60-40.
And you had similar accusations coming out of the Philippines.
You had multiple states in Mexico all talking about this.
And that's just one company, Smartmatic.
All of them have vulnerabilities that have been demonstrated over and over again.
But I remember in the 2016 election, the run-up to it in Utah, where there was a tremendous amount of opposition to Trump.
And you had that guy, Evan McMullin, who was a CIA retiree.
Supposedly. Who wanted to run against Trump and did.
And they brought in Smartmatic into Utah to run the GOP primary.
It was the GOP who brought Smartmatic in, in Utah.
You hear that? And I said at the time, I said, do you understand the history of Smartmatic?
I said that back in 2015, 2000, I guess it was 2016 when they had that part of it.
Because I think it's like, you know, just like now, the primary season begins in January, February, with New Hampshire and Iowa and stuff, and then, you know, it picks up later.
So it would have been in 2016, going back that far.
But, yeah, when you look at what the state does, how it treats crimes against itself versus crimes that are committed against us, When they're supposed to be protecting our God-given liberties, including our lives.
Ryan McMakin at the Mises Institute says it's interesting to examine the contrast between crimes, quote-unquote, against its own interests and real crime committed against ordinary private citizens.
Witness, for example, how the Biden administration and corporate media have treated the January 6th riot as if it was some kind of a military coup demanding that draconian sentences be handed down to even some small-time vandals and trespassers.
And I say, I don't think that somebody's a trespasser if the police say, come on in, the restroom is right over here.
That's not trespassing.
Yet had the supposed insurrectionist inflicted these same actions against ordinary private individual, Yes, they go into your house and put their feet up on your desk, like that one guy did in Nancy Pelosi's office.
There's a good chance the perps would not even be arrested, let alone given years of prison time.
Violent crime is rising 30% in New York City.
I did that last year.
Unsolved murders in the U.S. are at a record high.
Meanwhile, progressives and social democrats are looking for ways to reduce criminal penalties against even violent criminals.
And of course in California, they don't want property crime, you know, theft and looting.
They don't want that punished at all.
During urban riots, such as those that occurred in Ferguson, Missouri and Minneapolis, Minnesota, the police went to great lengths to protect themselves and government property.
If you were just a private shopkeeper or an ordinary citizen, you were on your own.
And this goes back to the Rodney King riots in L.A. You know, at that time, the L.A. police chief, Daryl Gates, had been the pioneer in all these SWAT team things and in the militarization of the police, and there was a lot of concern from a lot of us about that.
And then when these riots happened in the wake of the Rodney King thing, Daryl Gates and his militarized police with all of their SWAT, you know, their armored personnel things and their SWAT, they all circled their wagons, Around the police stations and some of the government places, they left everybody else to fend for themselves.
And that's when you had the Asian shop owners who got guns and the ones who didn't get looted to the ground or burned to the ground stood there with guns.
Don't try that here.
Police were absolutely no help.
That was back in the 90s.
The state's fastidious devotion to protecting itself, says Ryan McMakin.
Compared to its casual concern for the safety of mere taxpayers, illustrates an important principle of state behavior.
Murray Rothbard, in his essay, The Anatomy of the State, said we may test the hypothesis that the state is largely interested in protecting itself rather than its subjects by asking, which category of crime does the state pursue and punish most intensely?
Those against private citizens or those against itself?
The gravest crimes in the state's lexicon are almost invariably not invasions of private person or property, but dangers to its own contentment.
For example, treason, desertion.
Failure to register for the draft.
Subversion and subversive conspiracy.
Assassination of rulers and such economic crimes against the state as counterfeiting its money or evasion of its income tax.
Unless you're Hunter Biden, of course.
See, that's where it breaks down, because it's the people in the government.
It's not just the government itself, but it's also the people who are now the dictators.
Or compare the degree of zeal devoted to pursuing the man who assaults a policeman with the attention that the state pays to the assault of an ordinary citizen.
Yeah, January the 6th, right?
You know, the worst crimes that were committed there by the people, you know, they had the police just cold-blooded execute a woman.
And another woman who died there under, well, more complicated circumstances, but that was pretty cut and dry.
But, you know, when you look at the way that they responded to To the people who rioted and got violent with the police, it is very disproportionate.
I mean, life in prison.
And then people that they want to put literally in life in prison.
Not accused of violence.
Joe Biggs not accused of violence.
And you had Stuart Rhodes and...
The Proud Boys leader, they were not even there.
But of course, you know, they were conspiring to do this.
Curiously, the state's openly assigned priority to its own defense against the public strikes.
A few people is inconsistent with its presumed raison d'etre.
In other words, it's there to protect us, right?
To protect our lives and liberty.
No. They are consumed the paranoia over threats to itself.
Propagandistically termed threats to democracy.
And now you see why Trump and the rest of them operate the way they do.
Because it comes to that perspective as well.
And it just amazes me how, again, the alt-right media continues to praise this guy.
Pull this picture up, Travis.
This is from WND. Trump's persecution is blasted as an affront to biblical justice.
And of all things, they pull up this picture of him where he marched down to that church and stood there, cringy picture of him holding a Bible.
I mean, it's like, how fake can this guy's piety be, really?
You know, as I look at this from a biblical standpoint, I would say this kind of applies to the pit that he dug for other people he's now fallen into himself.
This crooked criminal mastermind.
But based on Dershowitz's pronouncements, he is now, this stuff is an affront to biblical justice.
And look, the Bible is very clear that we want to have honest people in office.
And they should be held accountable to that.
But, you know, when you have somebody who is dishonest and all these different things, and who flaunts the rule of law, who flaunts God's laws, as he did with so many different aspects of 2020 and other things, but flaunting the Constitution that he swore to uphold, just as I said from the very beginning, you think this guy's going to obey his oath to the Constitution?
Look what he did to his wives.
not just divorcing them, but mocking them.
And that's what he did to everybody that was in his cabinet.
You know, when he'd get tired of them, he'd throw them out and then attack them without ceasing.
On Rockfin, Mr. Goldfold said, Exit polls are not to be trusted.
I don't know about you, but I never take polls when I'm forced to.
So...
I lie. And that's true for all the exit polls as well.
The Bradley effect and the other governor of Virginia had issues with exit polls and certainly with Trump.
I read that a few were honest with pollsters.
Let's see. Perhaps in 24 things will change.
God willing, we'll live if World War III doesn't happen.
Well, that's the other thing, too.
You know, when we look at this, you have one organization.
We talk about the exit polls. We've got one organization that does it.
And every time I look at this, it's just such a red flag to me that they will give you a breakdown and tell you every demographic, men versus women, this ethnic group versus that ethnic group, this amount of education versus that amount of education.
Here's how they all voted.
And it's one organization that does it for everybody.
But the media will only report those demographic cross-sections.
They won't give you a total.
They won't say, well, in Michigan, the exit polls said this, but the other polls, the official results were this.
Because I think that would be a big red flag.
Anyway, yeah, polls are polls, but the...
Trump, who has subverted the rule of law like no other president in my lifetime, and now they say that these things against him have violated biblical justice.
Well, again, the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter once observed that the history of liberty is largely a history of procedural fairness.
Our Constitution embodies that history by reading the due process of law.
Which is why, you know, when Trump himself said, take the guns and do the due process later, I said, well, if you do the due process after you've applied a penalty, it's not due process.
That applies whether you're talking about a red flag law or whether you're talking about civil asset forfeiture or whether you're talking about RICO. And I look at this and it's like, you know, Rudy Giuliani who said, well, you know, I made New York safe and I locked up the mob by using RICO. Well, fine, but what you did was you destroyed the rule of law and due process, and now you are suffering the consequences.
As they point out in this article, as H. L. Meekin once observed, the trouble about fighting for human freedom is that you have to spend so much of your life defending SOBs, for oppressive laws are always aimed at the bad guys initially.
And oppression must be stopped in the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
See, that's the problem. Rudy used RICO to get the bad guys because he wanted to take a shortcut.
And now that RICO stuff is being used against him.
Injustice, once practiced against an unjust person, will serve as precedent for deploying it against just persons.
And this is the only reason I can find for defending Trump against some of these charges.
Trump is an unjust person.
Look at what he did to us.
Look at his, you're non-essential.
Your business is going to be gone.
Oh, but we'll kick you back some money.
We'll give you a little bit of money with a payroll protection program.
And he gave the money, for the most part, to his big friends on Wall Street.
The massive corruption.
The massive insider corruption.
And so now we've got these crocodile tears from Rudy, from Trump.
Not to mention, you know, what Rudy did, 9-11.
So, and speaking of this, Dershowitz...
Says, this ploy has two unfair consequences, if not intentions.
To discourage lawyers from defending him and to prevent him from calling his lawyers as defense witnesses.
And to open up confidential conversations between Trump and his lawyers by indicting all these different lawyers.
But of course, the big thing that he's not talking about is turning people against Trump.
Why do you think they went for that guy that had black voices for Trump?
You know, again, is he going to be used to testify against Trump?
Is Trump going to allow that to happen because he won't give the guy a penny to even get out of jail?
The cases against the lawyers are generally weak, he said, said Dershowitz, but that doesn't matter to the prosecutors who are out to get Trump, and they're using his lawyers as a means toward that end.
And Trump, out of his ego or whatever, is refusing to help these people.
And he is making it more likely that they will turn on him.
It is truly amazing to watch this unfold.
As Trump, over the weekend, when he's not counting the money that he made from his mugshot, He told Republicans on social media, on his Truth Social yesterday, he said, impeach Biden immediately.
And he says, they did it to us.
What he means is, they did it to me.
You see, his only concern is not a precedence of injustice.
His only concern is revenge.
That's all he cares about, is revenge.
He wants to escalate this to a civil war, and that's one of the reasons why they're coming for him, is because he is so focused on revenge.
As I've said before, it really is like a Shakespearean tragedy where the character flaws of the main character are driving this.
A deeply wounded narcissist out for revenge.
He said, you don't need a long inquiry to prove it.
All uppercase inquiry. It's already proven.
These low lives impeached me twice, and I won, and indicted me four times for nothing.
Either impeach the bomb or fade into oblivion.
They did it to us.
Did it to me, in other words.
Always the royal we, right?
About how this pulls these people in.
Meanwhile, not to be outdone, Biden's ego is on display.
He says, it is very disrespectful, says the Biden administration spokesperson, very disrespectful for Gavin Newsom or Graben Nuisance to debate DeSantis.
They said he's running a shadow 2024 campaign, says Biden, who is a shadow of his former self.
A disrespectful spectacle that could take attention away from Joe Biden.
That's what he's looking at here.
And it could also draw attention to the fact that Biden is not physically, mentally capable of doing the job.
It could make voters think that Newsom is plotting his own bid for the White House.
Who would think that? Everybody knows that.
But again, how disrespectful that you would do this and show how frail Biden is.
So Thaddeus...
McCotton, on American Greatness, asks the question, he says, is Trump the leader of a faction or is he the leader of a party?
And in it, he talks about the fact that he has run for office and been elected many times.
He said one time, the last GOP primary that I contested was for a party's nomination for Michigan's 11th congressional district in 2002.
And so what was different about that was, you know, they changed the districting thing.
So you had two congressmen who were already incumbents running for that one seat there.
And he said, when he won, he said, what made it possible for him to win the general election was the grace and magnanimity of his defeated GOP primary rivals, all of whom supported my campaign.
And he said, at the beginning, I wasn't really grateful enough for that.
I didn't really realize just how important that was.
But he says, as time went on, I started to realize that I could not have won the election without their gracious support as they were defeated in the primary.
And so he said, and the reason was kind of straightforward.
He said, as fellow Republicans, we knew that whatever our differences, they paled before our mutual aversion to the Democrats' agenda.
Now, then he applies this to Trump.
Now, what he doesn't say is that for Trump, it's not about an agenda.
It's not about policies.
It's not about America.
It's not about us. It's about him.
It truly is about him.
But what he does point out is that, again, just as he has made this Georgia thing all about him, and he's raising a lot of money from the MAGA people, He's sowing the seeds for his own defeat by not helping his lawyers,
former lawyers, not helping this guy who is in jail, and he's not going to do himself any favors By the way that he is attacking the other Republicans there.
He said, admittedly, following my early primary victories, I wasn't as appreciative as I should have been.
But he said, this is not just about nostalgia.
He said, Trump has declined to sign the Republican National Committee's colloquially termed Beat Biden Pledge.
And again, as I've said before, I think this is crafted as a way to keep him out of the debates.
He doesn't want to defend his record any more than Biden wants to defend his record in any debates.
They would much rather just have this be ad hominem attacks on other people.
But he says, as Trump said, I would not sign the pledge.
Why would I sign a pledge?
There are people on there that I wouldn't have.
I wouldn't have certain people, as you know, he said, that I would endorse.
I can name three or four people that I wouldn't support for president.
So right there, there's a problem, he said, about the loyalty of.
And so McCutton says, in fact, in expressing his refusal to sign the pledge, he has another opportunity to trash his GOP rivals as being unworthy of debating.
But while Trump has a lead in the primary election, a segment of the overall electorate, he is in deep trouble in the general election.
You don't win by the intensity of support that you get from your supporters.
You have to have a large number of them.
And somebody who is running against you that is just kind of a placeholder like Biden, if there's more people who have passionate dislike of you, that MPC candidate can win the election.
And what he is saying here is that 53% of Americans say that they will definitely not vote for Trump.
Again, this is a poll.
And again, you know, we're...
A year and a couple of months away from an election.
We don't even have the primaries in another six months.
But these are fundamental personality issues that are really going to come home to roost for Trump.
That's why I'm talking about it. Not because of this poll or that.
But what he's pointing out is that, you know, a recent poll from the New York Post, and again, we know the New York Post is not like Trump, so that might be skewed.
Nevertheless, 53% said they would definitely not vote for him.
Another 11% said probably not.
That's 64%, it's two-thirds.
So the problem is, is that Trump doesn't even have, you know, there's still a significant number of people, as he points out, if you total up All of his opponents, even though he's out there with 60% support, there's 40% of the people who are looking at somebody else.
And Trump may not be their second choice.
And that's within his own party.
And when you look at the Democrats, they absolutely loathe him.
The question is, what do the independents think?
So he said, should Trump somehow lose the primary by his own admission, he will not be patriotic enough to rally behind another GOP nominee.
To save America and to defeat the corporate deep state.
It's all about him. Trump, if he does win the primary, his failure to sign the pledge will be the pretense that his rivals in the GOP and their supporters and the never-Trumpers will use to not endorse him.
And so that is the real issue there in terms of math for this.
But again...
One of the arguments that's been made on both sides is one of double jeopardy.
I've seen several people on the Republican side, supporters of Trump, say, well, he's already been charged, you know, with the impeachment.
That's like an indictment.
And then he had a trial in the Senate and they did not find him guilty.
And so to come after him a second time, that's like trying somebody twice for the same crime.
And you can't do that. The counter argument to that is Is that even though they did not succeed in the impeachment because they didn't get 60 votes, they got 57 out of 100.
So they got a majority.
They got 57% of the senators voted to impeach him.
So it's even that.
It is not clear-cut in terms of what is going to happen moving forward.
But again, I think it is, when you look at the issues about whether he's going to be held responsible for this, I think that these cases, with the exception of the document case, which is, I think, ironclad, and even Dershowitz can't come up with an alibi for that, I think the rest of these three indictments are obviously political.
I think the one above the documents case is political because it's not equal protection under the law.
I've got a big issue with that.
But that's a separate issue.
That does not excuse Trump's conduct.
Uh, but, uh, I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Key thing is, I'll just, one last thing here with the election.
And, um, and that is the numbers that we're seeing bandied about.
Oh, I got, uh, you know, there was 12.8 million viewers or something on Fox news, but, uh, look at this.
I got, uh, 250 million views or something on Twitter.
That is so incredibly bogus.
And I have not talked about this before, but other people have brought this up in a couple of different places.
And I've seen this happening on Facebook, for example.
I remember when Facebook first started allowing videos, they did a test case.
And they went to some people who were big influencers.
And Alex Jones was one of them.
And they said, well, we'll give you a channel and you can put this stuff up.
And they used it as a test case because they knew that there would be a lot of people.
He had a lot of people who were following him.
And the stuff shows up on the feed.
So they wanted to test their bandwidth and stuff like that.
And it wasn't... All that long after that, that they wound up, you know, doing the ban across all the different social media things.
It was only like a year or two after that.
But we also knew, you know, Alex is getting really pumped up about the millions of views that he got.
But we also knew that, you know, if you've got a lot of people who are following you and it shows up on their feed, if they just scroll through that feed, that counts as a view.
And same thing happens on Twitter.
You've got so many people who...
So many people who follow Tucker Carlson, and then I don't follow Tucker Carlson, and people I don't follow were retweeting the Tucker Carlson interview with Trump, and it was showing up on my feed just as I would scroll through it over and over again.
It kept showing up. And every time I'd scroll through that feed, that's going to count as another view.
You play about two seconds of that video, and that counts as a view.
This is one of the ways that social media has really seduced people in terms of these phony view counts.
It doesn't mean that people are actually watching your video.
And of course, if you've got your own platform like band.video, you can put whatever kind of metrics in there that you want.
Right? Oh, look, yeah, this video had a million views or whatever.
So, a lot of people are talking about that and said, you know, that is a, you know, just scrolling through there gives them views.
And Hollywood Reporter pointed out that Twitter views were being overplayed.
As of publication time, the interview had 235 million views on the platform on Thursday, with a view count as two seconds.
However, if you were to apply that two-second standard to the televised debate, that would be the equivalent of 46.8 billion views.
So we can play these phony numbers.
It's all phony, folks.
And so we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, I want to say something about abortion.
We'll be right back. We'll be right back.
Thank you. In a world of deceit,
telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
I got an email from Dan, and thank you, Dan, for...
He says, thanks for mentioning The Procedure.
I think it's a very powerful animated film narrated by Kevin Sorbo.
I've played it only once on the show.
And he said, thanks for mentioning that.
Somehow I missed this one, but it's up on AmericanHolocaust.com.
And I thought, you know, I've only played it once on this show, and I think I need to do it again.
And so I want you to watch this, to listen to it.
If you want to watch it and pass it around, go to AmericanHolocaust.com.
This is the way we win the abortion issue.
I just arrived at work as the hospital's lead sonographer and was looking at the patient's schedule for the day when my boss told me to go immediately to the OR. The surgeon was requesting ultrasound guidance.
That was all the information I was given.
I had no idea what I was walking into.
I wheeled the ultrasound machine into the OR. The patient was already sedated on the operating table.
Plugging in the machine, I waited for instructions from the doctor.
He barked at me to place the ultrasound probe on the patient's pelvis so he wouldn't perforate her uterus.
Still confused about the procedure, I did as he asked and realized the woman was pregnant.
She was in her second trimester, so I easily determined the gender of her baby, a little girl.
Stunned, I watched the doctor thrust a catheter into the amniotic sac.
The fetus dodged the catheter and tried to hide in the top of her mother's uterus to get away.
In horror, I watched as he inserted a forceps clamp and grabbed her tiny leg.
She writhed around in pain, trying to break free, but there was nowhere for her to go.
Then the doctor pulled hard until her leg ripped away from her body.
She recoiled and violently twisted around in pain and curled herself into a tight ball.
But it was no use.
The clamp grabbed her arm and she struggled to pull away.
Her movements weakened now because she was dying.
He pulled her arm off of her body.
My vision blurred.
My eyes filled with tears.
The child again curled herself into a tight ball, but again the device grabbed her other leg and it was ripped from her body.
By now her heartbeat had slowed significantly, but she was still alive.
The clamp grabbed her last limb and ripped it off.
She wiggled and squirmed around and then her heart finally stopped beating.
I announced that there was no more cardiac activity.
The nurse and scrub tech in the room gasped, realizing for the first time that this was happening to a fetus that was still alive.
The remaining body parts, the head and torso, were removed.
Placenta was removed and a final look with ultrasound revealed all products of conception were removed.
I was told I could leave the room.
Up until that moment I had been frozen.
I silently removed the ultrasound machine from the operating room, went directly to the locker room, and threw up.
I quit my job at that hospital shortly after.
I told my boss I would never again participate in that type of procedure.
I was having nightmares and could not escape the memory of what I had witnessed.
I would never again assist in the murder of a child.
It was over 20 years ago, but it's just as vivid in my mind today as the day it happened.
The saddest part is that this procedure is still happening today.
People have no idea we are murdering babies in this way.
They think it isn't a person, that it's just a mass of tissue.
I'm so sorry for what happened to this little girl.
For what I did to her.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I'm so sorry. Difficult to watch.
Nikki Haley says we've got to stop demonizing abortion.
Really? You murderous demon!
Every war, she wants to get us involved.
She loves to kill people.
You want to talk about somebody demon-possessed?
Nikki Haley. We have to humanize abortion.
I think that humanizes it right there, doesn't it?
Nikki Haley is the one who needs to be humanized.
It's just as well, you know, we just, she and Ainsley Earhart, who pushes herself as a Christian.
Let's be realistic with the numbers, she said.
Yeah, we don't have enough votes in the House and Senate.
So yeah, from my heart, that's the answer from my heart.
We just, we don't want to judge anybody with this stuff.
You know, whenever somebody gets called out on a moral issue, don't judge me.
Judge not, so you will not be judged, right?
Matthew 7. Are we not to judge between good and evil?
Yeah. And that's not what that passage means.
Immediately before and after, he tells them one of the things, he says, don't cast your pearls before swine.
How do you know that they're swine if you don't judge?
But to call evil good, and to call good evil, is what she's doing.
We have to humanize this issue.
We have to stop demonizing this issue.
She is saying that we're demonizing women.
No, we're talking about the doctors who are the demons here.
The doctors who know perfectly well what they're doing.
The doctors like that doctor you just saw there.
He knows what he's doing. The anesthesiologist, sorry, not the anesthesiologist, the ultrasound guy, he did not know what was about to happen, but the other doctor had done that many times before.
He knew precisely what was going on.
He was the demon in that.
Ron DeSantis, when he was in the debate, talked about an abortion survivor named Penny, and the left was all over him.
He's making this up. There isn't anybody like that.
And in the story that is told, and now Penny has come forward and said, no, that's me.
The founder of the Lincoln Project, Steve Schmidt, that is the LGBT project.
It's the anti-Trump LGBT project.
The story of Penny, found in the pan by DeSantis, is ludicrous and obviously untrue, and it should be looked into by the media, he said.
Well, here's some people said, well, he just made it up.
Other people said she made it up.
She said that her mother, when she was 23 weeks pregnant, sought medical care at a clinic in Central Florida in 1955 because of bleeding and other complications.
Abortion was illegal at the time.
The doctor examined her, said he couldn't hear a heartbeat.
He induced labor. Hopper said her parents were told, you do not want this baby to live.
If it lives, it'll be a burden on you all of your life.
Hopper said the doctor told a nurse to discard the baby dead or alive, and she, as a 1-pound, 11-ounce newborn, was taken away by the nurse, who placed me in a bedpan on the back porch of the clinic.
And, of course, this is the type of thing they do with comfort care, right?
Everybody was surprised when Noel of them, governor of Virginia, somebody who got a degree in medicine, I wouldn't call him a doctor, talked about doing that.
Comfort care, just leave him over there and let him die.
It's what Kermit Gosnell was convicted of not doing.
Some of the babies that survived, he killed with his own hand rather than letting them just die on the back porch or on a table or something.
A National Democrat operative who remains anonymous told Politico that signing this abortion bill that he did will hurt DeSantis' presidential aspirations.
We're going to make him own this and his agenda everywhere he goes.
We will hang this incredibly toxic abortion ban and his agenda around his neck with different tactics.
The thing is, this does not hinge on whether or not Penny's story is true.
It hinges on what it actually is in reality.
And it doesn't hinge on politics.
It hinges on morality.
And as I've said before, if our country is so far gone that we can show people what abortion is, And people can still support it.
This country deserves to die.
It deserves God's judgment.
It deserves to be ripped apart, limb by limb, like we do to innocent babies.
The same thing deserves to be done to this country.
So where do these different candidates fall on the spectrum here?
As all this is happening, as they're coming after the abortion issue, the same article.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump on Friday was crowing about the number of views of his interview with Tucker Carlson.
Well, we more than double the longtime reigning champ, the Oprah Winfrey interview of Michael Jackson.
You see, this is all about, this is our celebrity apprentice president.
We should all just say, you're fired.
He said what was signed in Florida was too harsh.
Well, in Florida, there is an abortion clinic that's now been shut down.
They almost killed three women as they closed an abortion business, but of course, They'd be closed for all practical purposes with the laws that have been put there.
But it was three pro-life organizations that came together to shut them down.
They had three women who nearly died and were not reported.
But here's where these presidential candidates stand on this particular issue, and I think it gives us insight into their character.
Again, Trump has said the federal government has a vital role to play, but he thinks that what Ron DeSantis did was too harsh, so he's going to set the limit at which we could pull babies apart to a much higher age.
Let's let them get up to the point where they can feel pain.
That'll be better. Ron DeSantis, the six-week thing there, his position, as he said in the debate, I'm going to be a leader in the bully pulpit to help local communities and states Advance the cause of life.
See, Trump and most of these candidates want to federalize this.
Pence wants to federalize it.
Nikki Haley wants to federalize it.
Tim Scott wants to federalize it.
Asa Hutchinson wants to federalize it.
That's the position of most of these candidates.
The federal government doesn't have any role to play in this.
And as I've said before, from a practical standpoint...
Once you make it federalized and you set that, then once the Democrats win an election, they will remove any restrictions on abortion whatsoever.
And the Republican state governors will follow along just as they did with Roe v.
Wade. But if you lower it to a low level that they don't agree with, they will not follow that.
They will do their own thing.
The Democrat governors will.
When you look at one of the candidates who I thought had an interesting take on this, well, we'll say what Ramaswamy had to say.
Ramaswamy, though, again, you know, he is a performance gadfly.
He's looking for his ticket To be a vice president or to make himself famous, quite frankly.
And he's on multiple positions of multiple issues.
He has supported globalism with Musk, with the TPP, and the rest of the stuff.
But in terms of abortion, he said, I am unapologetically pro-life.
He's open to a constitutional argument, however, for a federal abortion ban.
Well, there is no argument to be made.
The argument to be made for that is take a look at the 9th and 10th Amendment and then take a look at the Constitution.
Do you have any authority to do that?
No, you don't. In an interview with the All In podcast in July, he said he would not support a federal abortion ban of any kind on principled grounds because I am grounded in constitutional principles and I think there's no legal basis for the federal government to legislate.
So again, he starts to come back to that position.
Pence, of course, you know, 15 weeks is what he has decided, so I guess that's what it should be, right?
We should federalize it.
Nikki Haley with her Stop Demonizing Abortion.
Tim Scott again, 15 weeks and a federal law.
I thought it was interesting what Chris Christie had to say.
He said, what I stand for is what conservatives have been arguing for 50 years.
That Roe was wrong.
That there is no federal constitutional right to an abortion and that states should decide this issue.
And I absolutely believe that each state should make its own decision on this.
I think it would be a horrible mistake For us to put the decision about this back into that cesspool we call the District of Columbia.
And I have said always, since, you know, I was not always in this camp, by the way.
If you found my debate when I was running for Congress in 1996, I wasn't looking at this from a Christian perspective.
I was looking at it from an individual liberty perspective.
I was like, just get the government out of our lives in every area.
But it's not just the woman's life, it's the baby's life as well.
And when you understand that, it changes everything.
And so since I have taken this pro-life position, I have consistently said the constitutional approach to this should have been for the governor of Texas, because that's where Roe v.
Wade case came from.
You made your decision. Let's see you enforce it.
And they should have protected babies' lives.
And so we've had, for federalizing this, has cost the lives of 60 million kids.
And so I think if your goal is to try to save as many lives as possible, or if your goal is to save the Constitution, you would have to reject the majority of the positions from even the Republican Party on this.
When you understand that the people who are the real demons...
Are the abortionists and the Democrat Party who is pushing for abortion at any and every age?
That is the true issue.
And again, Asa Hutchinson jumping in.
15 weeks is now what the Republican candidates have decided.
Where'd they come up with that magic number?
I don't know. But as Trump said, 6 weeks is too harsh.
15 weeks is just right.
This Goldilocks idea of how they are going to split the baby.
Split the baby.
Well, maybe they need to go back and revisit that story from Solomon.
And then we see who really cares for the child, don't we?
It's not these people who say, well, let's federalize it and let's make it 15 weeks because that could be a compromise position I can agree with with the left.
The left is uncompromising on all of this stuff.
And we have to push out the truth because they're not going to.
So share that video.
Share the procedure with people.
Show them. Let me tell you, the David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
You can even watch it by using your eyes.
In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to the David Knight Show right now.
Yeah, good job.
Ha ha ha! And you want to know something else?
Export Selection
