As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 8th of November, year of our Lord, 2023.
2023.
Well, there were elections in several states yesterday.
We're going to take a look at the comments about this election.
Of course, the results as well, but the comments about it.
What does it tell us about what is ahead?
Abortion was a big part of these issues.
Mainstream media and Donald Trump see that as a winning issue for Democrats to kill babies.
So we'll talk about that.
We also have, I think, a very interesting guest today.
And she will be on in the second hour instead of the third hour.
Xi Van Fleet, someone who legally immigrated to America.
She survived Mao's cultural revolution.
And she has a warning for America that everything that is happening in our schools right now was what Mao used, the exact playbook that he used when she was a child for his cultural revolution.
We'll be right back.
Well, the Democrats think they've got a winning the Democrats think they've got a winning issue, killing babies.
Isn't it interesting that the GOP talks about this as an issue?
But they don't talk about the babies.
And this is why this is a losing issue for them.
Babylon B. Planned Parenthood says the proper term for an unborn baby is now a womb colonizer.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Cutting-edge progressive language will now use the term womb colonizer.
This is something they do all the time, quite frankly.
Babylon B. is just this far away from the truth.
Of course, it would be the Associated Press, not Planned Parenthood, that would be putting out the new terms for everybody to use.
We here at Planned Parenthood will now require everyone to use a new term, womb colonizer, whenever an unborn blob of cells is referenced.
Perfect description for those little parasites, said Planned Parenthood.
And of course, if you look at the people who are screaming colonizer, colonizer, Whether they're talking about Israel or they're talking about us, it's the same group of people.
And this is what they're fundamentally after.
So regardless of what is happening there, the thing that I find amazing is how do both sides in this Israel-Hamas conflict, how do both sides, what's their most effective propaganda piece?
And again, that doesn't mean that it's false, right?
Propaganda is pushing your side.
It can be white propaganda or it can be black propaganda.
In other words, white propaganda is just showing your side, not showing the other side, but showing it what is truly happening.
Black propaganda is lying about what happened.
So you can show just your side.
That's the truth, but it's not the whole truth, okay?
That's what white propaganda is.
So you can show... Your babies that have been destroyed and blown up and chopped up or whatever, but you don't show the other side.
And what we're not doing in this war, this political war, is showing the babies that are being chopped up.
Now, when they show the babies in Israel and the babies in Hamas being chopped up, they're doing that to inflame passions for war, for more killing.
If we were to show the pictures of the babies that are chopped up, we would be doing that to inflame passions to stop the killing.
It's just so simple.
I can't believe that the Republicans don't know this because they are a part of this white propaganda.
They're going to show you the Israeli babies that were murdered, but they're not going to show you the 60 million babies Not any of these representative pictures of them.
Show these pictures and say this happened over 60 million times.
While the Supreme Court was trying to figure out the jurisdiction of the 10th Amendment.
Are we going to continue with that?
Well, you know, the interesting thing is that across the board, across the country, we had in one election after the other at the state level, you had people make this Faustian bargain with the devil.
I will vote for Democrats who will enslave me, who will censor me, who will tax me, who will take away all of my freedoms.
I'll vote for the Democrats and that tyranny, those totalitarians and their tyranny, if I can kill my kids.
That is the Faustian deal with the devil that American voters made across the country yesterday.
It truly is amazing.
You've got Andy Beshear.
One of the worst of the lockdown governors, bar none, in Kentucky, who got re-elected.
This is a guy who destroyed businesses.
He kept churches locked down.
As a matter of fact, he came into the spotlight again just before this election.
Because you had a lot of mainstream media were criticizing Mike Johnson, who, before he became...
A congressman, he was a lawyer with a group that was representing religious freedom.
And the Ark Experience in Kentucky, a giant exhibit about Genesis and about Noah's Ark.
Pretty amazing, if you haven't seen it.
Built by Amish carpenters by hand.
But it's amazing how big it is, if we go with the dimensions of the Bible.
And so they talk about it.
They talk about the meaning of it, theological implications of it, but they also talk about the pragmatic effects of this.
Was this something that could have been feasible?
So all of those things are involved in it.
And so as a tourist attraction, they were entitled to the same treatment that Any tourist attraction gets.
And some tourist attractions that are producing alcohol or whatever.
But Andy Beshear came after them because they were a Christian organization.
And said, well, they're not hiring people unless they agree with them on their faith.
And it's like, yeah, because that's what this whole thing is about.
And so Mike Johnson...
Defended them against Andy Beshear's anti-Christian bigotry and won.
But he was re-elected by a significant amount.
If I were an anti-abortion politician, I'd be scared, said Teresa Undim, public opinion researcher who studies abortion and supports abortion rights.
And, of course, the politician, Donald Trump, is very scared.
And he's trying to change his positions quite a bit.
Oh, it's just too harsh. Too harsh.
I don't support that at all.
Because if you're a politician, and all you have are positions and postures and policies, but you don't have any principles, you're not going to win.
And I don't really care if these people win or not.
If you don't show murdered babies, if you don't actually go to war against this culture of death, And pull out all the stops.
The GOP knows that, but they won't do it with this.
They pull back.
Oh, that would be too harsh.
You know, Fox News wouldn't let me show pictures of an aborted baby.
As a matter of fact, you go back and Fox News kicked Matt Drudge off in the 90s because he showed a picture of a baby during an operation that reached up.
Baby Samuel reached up and grabbed the pinky of the doctor who was doing a...
In utero operation of this baby had spina bifida, and they were doing something before the baby was born to mitigate that.
And as part of that operation, you see this really, really tiny but completely human hand come up and grab that pinky.
And Fox News fired Matt Drudge for showing that.
See, the mainstream media won't let you show that, but you know what, folks?
We don't need the mainstream media anymore.
Run your campaigns.
Run your campaigns on the internet.
Put it all over the place. You don't need the censors at social media even.
Put it up somewhere else.
Make a platform that's actually going to be a free speech platform.
Support that with your advertising dollars.
They don't even try, though.
They didn't try and fail.
They didn't try and get censored.
They just failed to try.
In Virginia, a battleground state where Republicans pushed a proposal to outlaw abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Democrats took control of the state legislature completely.
They kept the Senate and they turned over the House.
We're at the point where Democrats really believe What they're doing, unfortunately.
They are die-hard totalitarians and Marxists, as we're going to talk about coming up in the second hour with our guest.
But they really believe that stuff.
They sincerely and passionately believe that.
Republicans are just playing a game.
They don't believe any of this stuff.
They're just Democrats-lite.
I've got a way here that I can raise money.
And I can suck up to Trump and I can raise money and I can become the nominee and then I can lose in the general election.
We see this pattern happening over and over again.
And this is what we saw across the country.
Now, the only place the big governor's race where they won anything was in Mississippi.
You had an incumbent Republican running, and he was running against Elvis Presley's second cousin.
It's not the only thing the guy had going for him.
But again, the guy was a typical Democrat, welfare state Democrat.
If you don't have any convictions, it's going to show people.
So they're more than happy to get the praise of their, you know, preach to the choir, get their praise, get their money, And, you know, keep playing that game.
They don't care if they get elected.
So this was put out by Washington Post.
And what they did was they went through state after state after state.
And they showed to push abortion over and over again.
You must support abortion or you're not going to win.
And so what they did was they went state after state after state.
And if it was a county that had voted for Trump in 2020...
And then had voted in favor of these abortion measures, they would paint that county yellow.
So you'd see, as you scroll through the article, if you want to scroll through it, you can see some of the maps, for instance, right there.
That's Ohio. 18 counties that backed Trump in 2020 and voted in favor of abortion rights this time.
And so what they're saying is, we got them.
That's our winning formula. They quote a woman, Kate Wagner, 51 years old, a registered Republican.
She said, my whole thing is that I don't like the idea of typically old white men telling me what I should be able to do.
Because they've never been in this position.
So, she's 51.
Is she about to get pregnant?
Probably not. Probably post-menopausal.
But, you know, she doesn't like old white men telling her not to kill babies.
That's the bottom line.
Well, I'm an old white man.
I'm going to tell you, don't kill your baby.
I'm an old white man. I'm going to tell you that if we have a doctor who knows better and a doctor who kills babies, We're going to lock that doctor up.
That's what I want to do.
I want to take away their license.
Not because they give somebody ivermectin, or because they give them hydroxychloroquine, or because they give them a sheet of paper saying, you know, you don't want to get a vaccine?
Okay, I'll write that note for you.
Or you've had bad experiences with vaccines?
Okay, well, I'll write that note.
No, no. They take the license of doctors for those types of things.
But they don't take the license of doctors who kill babies, rip them to pieces, and then pull out the parts and assemble them on a table to make sure they got everything out.
And this is a sick society.
It truly is a sick society.
If God doesn't judge America, Yeah, we have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah and Tyron, Sidon and everybody else.
It's coming. It's coming, folks.
We have, because we want to kill our kids, we will vote for war, we will vote for tyrants, we'll do all this stuff.
One out of five Republicans supported these abortion measures, but two-thirds of independents.
Why? Because nobody is showing them what this is.
You've got to fight the lies with the truth.
And if you're going to just sit back and collect the donations from your club, nothing is going to happen.
I think people are over-interpreting what this means on a national level, said Vice President of Media and Policy for Students for Life in America.
She said, each fight is unique.
Well, I think this person is totally clueless.
And I think that the problem is that they're not fighting.
And they're not showing the truth, right?
What they need to be showing people is not saying something like, well, this is a political thing, and next time we're going to do it this way, and we're going to do that, and we're going to change our message a little bit.
No, you've got to get into a fight.
You really do have to have a real fight.
And it has to be a fight over life.
If you don't want to have a, you know, and instead of saying that each fight is unique, She should be saying each life is unique but let me show you what happens to these babies.
She's focused on media.
She's focused on politics. You might want to try focusing on life versus murder.
How about that? Because they know this.
All of these people know this.
The people who support the Palestinians know it.
The people who support Israel know it.
And they're all using it right now.
But in this election about abortion, nobody will show what's been done by doctors to 60 million babies.
More than that. It's just amazing to me.
And so, again, the counties that voted for Trump, and they just go one state after the other.
Here's Kansas. Kansas is 60% voted to keep abortion in the Constitution.
And when you look at Montana, Montana, you had 53% of the people say that if a baby survives abortion, An abortionist's attempt to kill it, then you're not going to do anything to keep that baby alive.
Again, how much more does America need to go down the gutter with all of this stuff?
It truly is amazing to me.
Obsolete Man, 1776, thank you very much.
He says, I'm 41 today, David.
God is the only reason I made it this far, and I thank you for the greatest morning show on God's footstool.
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
And KWD 68, thank you so much for the support.
And he sent us a check and was very generous with that.
He says, God is judging America.
It's 60 years underway for the judgment of the nations outlined in Romans 1.
He said, the final end is coming.
Yes, we could give seminars to Sodom and Gomorrah.
You're absolutely right.
And again, I want to thank KWD. Thank you so much for the check.
And all of you.
Marty played such a big role in rallying everybody towards the end of the month last month, and I really do appreciate that.
Because it is what funds this program.
Voluntary donations.
And I know from the notes, but I know even without the notes, that this is coming from people's hearts.
And so I really do appreciate it.
I and my family really do appreciate this.
And so when we look at this, it goes on and on.
The mainstream media is very excited about this.
They got exactly what they wanted out of the election.
Christy Noem is saying before the election, just before the election, She said, well, we got to hold Andy Besher accountable for his pandemic response.
Well, how do you do that and suck up to Trump at the same time?
See, that's the problem that the GOP's got, right?
And they're stuck between a rock-hard Democrat and another Democrat who pretends to be a Republican.
You say it was Trump policy.
How do you criticize Vice President Trump and President Fauci for their lockdown policies, right?
You can't do that. And the policy is really coming from President Fauci and Vice President Trump.
It was implemented by people like Andy Beshear.
And so he should be criticized.
And again, people are willing to be enslaved by these totalitarians who locked them down during the pandemic and will do it again so they can kill their kids.
She said on election eve, Christy Noem said, Kentucky must hold Andy Beshear accountable for his pandemic responses.
He forced your kids to wear masks in schools.
He labeled your business non-essential.
Now, that was Trump.
That was Trump who said that.
And he took away your freedom of religion by locking down your churches.
See, all that was Trump.
You've got to be very careful. He must not be named.
And as long as the MAGA crowd has got Trump derangement syndrome in spades, and so we could call it Trump bipolar syndrome, would be a better way to describe it, wouldn't it?
You know, they hate his policies, but they just love him so much, and they'll keep supporting him no matter what.
And so the guy that he beat, Trump-backed Republican Daniel Cameron, Made a similar argument.
He reminded Kentuckians that Bashir shut down churches, small businesses, and schools, and he really hung out on this school stuff.
We've had a significant learning loss, he says.
Well, I'm not so sure about that.
You know, when you look at the schools, and you look at the product of the schools, and we'll look at some reactions to the manifesto being released, but, you know, when you look at that killer in Nashville, She was a product of the schools.
So I don't know that shutting the schools down and getting the kids out of that, I don't know they really got that far behind.
If they didn't teach them misinformation, if they didn't give them Marxist lies and propaganda, they'd know nothing at all.
No, here's the issue that Kristi Noem doesn't want to talk about and that Cameron, who was an attorney general, doesn't want to talk about.
The issue is the law.
The issue is the law. The issue is that they suspended the law.
They violated the Constitution.
They suspended the law.
They did medical martial law.
This is something that's never been done for any sickness anywhere at any time until all of the global leaders decided they would do it all at once.
Isn't that an interesting coincidence or a conspiracy that Trump was a part of?
Trump was a part of the deepest state.
The World Economic Forum, the UN, the WHO, he was a part of, and he was a partner, In the deepest state lockdown that we have ever seen.
And Christine Ohm and Cameron cannot attack the constitutionality of it.
They can't call it medical martial law because it's his policy.
Now, I'm sure that Andy Beshear believed that people were non-essential as well.
Probably believed that they were deplorable.
But, you know, this is what we get.
So, many Republicans who are running against Trump pointed out that he is a loser.
He's 0-4 after 2016.
He's 0-4. But when you look at the Trump suck-ups, you know, when you look at Breitbart, or you look at WND, or you look at Infowars, and these are places, it's going to be Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
And how he's great, and how he's going to win.
You know, he's just a shoe-in.
Well, he is. He is a shoo-in, unfortunately, for the nomination, perhaps, unless something changes with these trials.
Who knows what's going to happen with it?
Because, you know, they have pronounced him the Super Bowl winner when we haven't even had the first preseason game yet.
And when you look at his actual record...
He's on four. He lost in 2018, the midterms.
He lost the midterms of 2022.
He lost the 2020 election and took the Republicans down with him.
They barely eked out a majority in the House, even though people despised what Biden was doing.
He didn't pay the penalty for it in the midterm election, which usually does go against the new president.
He didn't have nearly as bad a midterm election as Trump did in 2018, Biden.
And now he's lost again in 2023.
But Trump is going to blame the babies.
It's the baby's fault.
If we didn't care about protecting those babies, he could be president.
He could be a contender in the general election.
Now, he's a big contender. He's got 50% margin according to these polls.
But again, the first preseason game has not been played.
And do you really care what the sports polls say about who the best team is before they've even played a game?
Does it really matter?
Because, you know, that's what we're talking about here.
We're talking about horse races and we're talking about sports.
That's the approach to politics these people take.
So, Daniel Cameron.
Daniel would have been the first black Republican governor since Reconstruction, said Rick Grinnell.
And so, you know, why is anybody criticizing President Trump?
Well, because he kept that from happening, quite frankly.
And Rick Grinnell is Mr.
Identity Politics of the GOP. This is the guy who was Trump's, look, the first openly homosexual director of national intelligence or whatever, DNI or something like that.
That was his, you know, his thing.
I'm here because, and the difference is, is that he doesn't look freaky like Biden's choices, you know, Sam Brinton or Dick Levine.
He doesn't look really strange, like he looks normal.
He's got credentials. He could have talked about his credentials, but all he wants to do is talk about the fact that he's gay, not about the fact that he's suited for the job.
And so again, what does he talk about with this?
Well, this guy was black.
He could have been there as a black guy.
I'm so sick of identity politics.
Makes me want to throw up.
But what it tells you about Trump and his crowd, people like Rick Grinnell, they want to be Democrats.
They are Democrats. They're Democrats.
They agree with Democrats on virtually every policy.
And they want to do ballot harvesting.
They want to do identity politics.
They want to have vengeance and warfare in the courts against their political opponents.
And of course, they use the IRS against the political opponents like Biden is doing now.
Yeah, Biden is using the IRS against people besides Trump.
You'd never know it to look at the media.
Oh, well, it doesn't really matter unless it happens to Trump.
The Republicans don't care about anything.
They don't care about babies being murdered.
It's just Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. So we've been feasting.
You know, in the conservative media, they've been feasting.
Not me. The conservative media is just covering every little aspect of the Trump trials.
And they just don't care about anything except the daily trials, tribulations, and or victories, except it's mostly losses of Trump.
That's all they care about.
They don't want to talk about anything else.
They're losers.
Losers with a capital L. Following a loser.
As one DeSantis influencer said, the Democrats win Kentucky easily as Trump delivers another big loss to the GOP. The culture of losing continues.
Chris Christie, about the only thing I agree with him on is his opposition to Trump.
He says, a week ago, Trump tried to preemptively take credit for Cameron and Winning the Kentucky governorship.
He promised to help Cameron across the finish line.
Trump made zero trips to Kentucky to support Cameron the way he once did for many GOP candidates.
And the endorsement didn't help at all.
He did a video conference call.
Daniel Cameron was a MAGA candidate.
He endorsed Trump and he was endorsed by Trump and he just got crushed in deep red Kentucky.
Wake up folks. Trump is toxic.
Toxic. Again, he can easily win the primaries.
He can get Republican followers.
He can get funds. And so can the people who support him in the media.
They can get followers and they can get funds.
And then they can lose in the general election.
And they don't care. Because it's about supporting and echoing what their demographic wants to hear.
So the White House, the Biden White House, is gloating over the fact that Daniel Cameron failed in the gubernatorial bid in Kentucky.
I mean, they should have won that.
Andy Beshear was a horrible governor, had a horrible record in it.
So Nikki Haley, as they prepare for their debate tonight, is criticizing DeSantis, again, over his shoes.
This is where we are now in the Republican Party.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, as I pointed out yesterday when I had on Axel Kaiser talking about what's going on in Argentina and South America, Taylor Swift has an amazing amount.
She's like a Donald Trump.
It's amazing. People just follow her no matter what she does.
And she's organizing politically.
You know, doing get-out-the-votes-for-her-fans and all the rest of the stuff.
Doing the same thing in Argentina, where these...
One of my friends in high school, his mother used to say, you know, when somebody does something really stupid, not too swift.
He's not too swift, is he?
Well, these Swifties, as they call themselves, they're not too swift.
The not-too-swift Swifties organized in Argentina, Swifties Against Freedom Advances.
And that's exactly what they are.
That's the name of the party that Javier Malay has in Argentina.
But they're against freedom advancing in America and everywhere else.
Because all they care about...
You know, she decided that she would go public before the pandemic.
She... Came out against Marsha Blackburn because I guess Taylor Swift must live in Nashville or something.
And so she came out against Marsha Blackburn.
Why? Well, because of abortion.
And so, you know, the Swifties, they're not too swift.
They are now coming out based on that.
Some of the comments here, John Henry 3777, all things being equal, why can't we just call murder adult abortion?
There you go. That's one way to do it.
Syrian girl. Good idea, she says.
Or stop using abortion at all.
What we should call it is baby murder.
Yeah. Andy, why do you get charged with two murders if you terminate the life of a pregnant woman?
Hasn't that always been a tell?
It really has. I've mentioned that so many times, and you're exactly right.
You get charged with two murders because, you know, the woman needs to be able to decide if the baby is murdered, right?
But again, they keep changing their position.
Well, it's just a clump of cells if the mom wants to murder the baby, but if somebody else murders the baby in a shooting, then we call it a baby.
My son says, imagine liking Swift's garbage music so much that you think you should care about her political opinions because of it.
Yeah, that's right. I had never listened or been inclined to listen to any of her music until the Johnny Cash cover.
And then I listened to it.
It's the most synthetic, auto-tune garbage.
You know, maybe she writes it.
Maybe that's why it's so bad.
But blank space.
The blank space. Yeah, that pretty much describes what she's got going there, I think.
Stephen Kaspar, we don't respect life unless we can use it for something like gunpans.
Yes. KWD68, I've awakened a few MAGA. Catch them complaining about COVID. That's my end.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
The lockdowns. DG8, David Ohio became California yesterday.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the other thing today.
They legalized recreational, I think it was recreational marijuana.
What I cared about was the abortion stuff.
Because that affects, that's not your body.
That's somebody else's. I'm so sick and tired of hearing, my body, my choice, my body, my choice, and they don't care about the fact that their choice about their body was taken away during the lockdowns, during the vaccines, and all the rest of this stuff.
They don't care about that.
Six states didn't go along with a hogwash, says Michael DeSilvio.
I don't know if he's talking about six states.
Maybe they...
Was that about the abortion stuff?
I'm not clear. I didn't see anything where pro-life issues had won.
But maybe it's because...
All the election coverage that I saw this morning was pretty much by the mainstream media.
The conservatives were not declaring victory on anything.
Let's not talk about the election yesterday.
Let's talk about the debate tonight, maybe.
Or, I know, let's talk about the Israel and Hamas war.
Let's talk about that, they say.
So maybe there were some victories on that, but I didn't see it.
The Republican voters in Ohio caved on abortion because Trump said abortion will cost us elections.
So they've given up on pro-life.
I don't think so. I think so.
Yeah, Trump is going to cost us elections.
They need to abort Trump.
That should be a sign of itself to pro-life people who are really sincere in their beliefs.
They're fed up with Trump as well on this thing.
Spencer DeLonge says, David, I live in Ohio.
I'm sad about abortion being legal here now, but we can argue politics forever.
But if we can't protect innocent life, we don't deserve to prosper and deserve all of God's judgment.
Well, that's right. And we see this everywhere.
I saw a documentary about how Italy is just ceasing to exist anymore.
And it's just dying out because they're not having kids.
They don't want kids at all.
Don't want kids at all.
And so God is taking their country and turning it over to people from other countries.
It's just that simple.
And it is sad to see that in just a couple of generations, I remember those magnificent men, their flying machines.
It was crazy. It was a lot of fun, and they played to a lot of national stereotypes.
And you had the sarcastic, mocking little Frenchman, and you had the militaristic German, and it was set in the early 20th century as planes were in their infancy.
And the Italian family, he was a rich guy, because most of these guys were rich that were in it, or they were government-sponsored to have a plane that they could fly.
It was a really rich guy.
And the way they did the Italian stereotype was he had like a dozen kids.
And they were all over the place.
And they were running. His wife was trying to keep them calm and everything.
But for the most part, they were pretty.
But that was the joke.
The gigantic family.
And now they've gone in just one generation from being known for having really big families to having none at all.
No children at all.
It's a dying country.
Rick Sanchez, New Mexico.
Thank you very much for the tip. He says, you can kill your baby before it's born.
Then you should be able to kill it after it's born.
Democrats should support abortion up to week 972.
Well, they're getting there. Getting there with euthanasia and all the rest of this stuff.
So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we'll talk a little bit about Trump's trials.
Today... Ivanka will testify, but Trump testified.
And I think it's kind of interesting, and we'll talk just briefly about what his legal argument is in this fraud trial in New York.
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.

Alright, we've got a couple comments here.
Milton Milankovic says, afterbirth abortion is legal up here in Canada.
We call it medical assistance in dying.
M-A-I-D, MAID. And, you know, they're rapidly escalating in terms of, you know, killing people, having the medical profession killing people.
And, you know, obviously doing it...
Not like they did during the Trump death protocol where they tried to pretend they weren't there euthanizing people.
But, you know, straight up calling it euthanasia.
And the maid thing, I think I said the other day, hasn't really fully kicked in yet.
It's going to kick in next year, but already it's exploding there.
KWD68 says, Christianity Today did an article about SWIFT. Being Christ-like, you know, the guy who does that, I think some guy, he used to be with a Southern Baptist convention, Russell something, they kicked him out.
It doesn't surprise me at all they would do that.
I can't even remember his name.
Conservative thinker, thank you for the tip.
He says, I've got a blank space, Davey.
I'll put your bumper sticker on it.
We didn't do a bumper sticker yet, I don't think, but I don't know.
Maybe we did. I can't keep up with the merchandise.
That's what Karen did.
We do? Yeah. Okay, good.
And by the way, we're talking about merchandise.
Thanks for reminding me. Karen is always reminding me, but after the show.
We got a new t-shirt design here.
Let me just show this to you.
And this is our...
Don't Tread on Mine shirt, and it's a much more graphic snake with a revolver this time, and that's kind of our update on that, as well as the MacGuffin shirt, a conversation starter.
People ask you what that's about.
Well, you can tell them that's the same game that they keep playing with us, whether they're talking about Climate change?
Or they're talking about COVID? Let's talk a little bit about what happened at the trial.
Trump's colossal admission during the trial.
Former President Trump made what one legal analyst described as an astonishing admission.
This is Newsweek reporting, so they're not Trump supporters here.
During his Monday testimony, and when he allegedly agreed that a statement of financial condition was intended to induce Deutsche Bank to lend him money.
So, he's being accused of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to get benefits such as better bank loans and reduced tax bills.
And for all the people who say there was no victims in this, you do understand that this is something that Trump has done his entire career.
Basically, inflating his assets, getting banks to loan him money, and then when his casinos fail, his casinos fail.
A guy who can't run a casino for profit.
When his casinos failed, he said, well, you're into it so much with me right now, you're going to have to work with me, do what I say, or I'll take your bank down.
How did he get that kind of leverage?
By inflating his statements to start with.
And so the prosecutor showed him a term agreement that was made to Deutsche Bank for him to verify his signature before asking if the statement about the values of the Trump Organization businesses and the properties were made in order to induce lending.
Trump reportedly answered yes, according to a reporter who was there.
In order to induce lending, she said, a critical admission by Trump as he admits that the intent in making these financial representations was to convince lenders to loan money.
Attorney and writer Amy Vanderpool also posted on X about the exchange, said Trump just admitted his intent to induce lending, quote-unquote.
Add this to the inaccurate numbers used, and you have proven the basic legal elements of fraud.
Joyce Vance, an attorney and former federal prosecutor, said this was, quote, And she said, Finally,
a former federal prosecutor, Andrew Weissman, also posted on X, using all capital letters in his message, breaking, A.G. gets Trump to agree that the financial statements and Trump's personal guarantee were to induce banks to lend money.
Key fact for this fraud case.
And so, several different lawyers see it this way.
Now, you know, when you... When you go to appeal, there's going to be some people, if you've got four lawyers at least, and more than that, saying that this is a big issue, you may, when you appeal this case, find the same thing.
And his defense is always, but there's a disclaimer there, do your own research.
Do your own research.
Well, does that work? You know, when you have these signs that say, I'm not responsible for personal injury, does that always work?
No, no, it doesn't.
It's to make you think that you can't sue somebody for doing something that is extremely negligent, but it doesn't work.
And there'll still be, you know, if you set up some kind of a rickety ride at an attraction, you know, and it's all rusted and barely hanging together and the screws are loose and all the rest of stuff, and you put up a sign, ride this at your own risk.
Well, if you were grossly negligent, You're not going to be able to get past that negligence by putting a sign up.
And I think that's the same principle.
I'm not a lawyer, but I think that if he throws together stuff that is inaccurate and perhaps fraudulent and then puts a disclaimer at the bottom of it, well, you know, don't trust me. I don't know that that necessarily does it.
So one thing I didn't talk about was the fact that Iowa governor, of course this is, I tried to scream about this in all caps for a couple of days, you know, Governor Kim Reynolds in Iowa bucked Trump and endorsed DeSantis.
And this is what they had to say when they talked to the press together.
A lot of great candidates that are running for office.
I consider them friends.
I've had the opportunity to campaign with them.
I appreciate all of them stepping forward and putting their lives and their livelihoods on the line to have the opportunity to represent this country.
But I have to take a look at everybody else.
For somebody who's a leader, you should want people who are delivering big victories for their constituents, standing up for conservative values, which Kim has done.
And it's almost like with Donald Trump, if you don't kiss the ring, you could be the best governor ever and he'll trash you.
You could be a terrible, corrupt politician, but if you kiss his ring, then all of a sudden he'll praise you.
Yeah, we've seen that over and over again, haven't we?
He's absolutely right about that.
Trump doesn't care about anything except you kissing his ring.
That's it. Haven't we seen that?
And of course, because she didn't kiss his ring immediately, he started criticizing her and that actually pushed her the other way.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, governor of Arkansas, did not kiss the ring immediately and said, well, I'm not really sure I'm going to endorse anybody at this point.
He got on to her and she just went the other way.
She caved and she endorsed Trump.
But Kim Reynolds went the other direction.
But DeSantis is exactly right about that.
Trump doesn't care about what you stand for.
He doesn't care about what you do.
As long as you kiss his ring, that is all that matters.
And so Reynolds said she appreciates the former president's accomplishments, but believes it's time to move on.
I don't think he can win, she said, simply.
His former accomplishments, you know, like medical martial law, Trump shots, and all the rest of the stuff.
This is the problem with the Republican Party.
You don't, as I said the other day, you don't have anybody.
Who can really run against that stuff, including Ramaswamy, Vivek the Snake, as Dr.
Shiva calls him. He was part of DeWine and Ohio's COVID team.
As a matter of fact, he was positioning himself to do surveillance and tracking and tracing and identification of people.
He was trying to get a contract with his business to do exactly that.
Some of the most reprehensible aspects of it.
Apart from just outright killing people and destroying their businesses, jobs, and livelihoods, you know, that's also pretty bad, isn't it?
Reynolds said she believes DeSantis can win the Iowa caucuses regardless of the current polling, and she hopes to tout his achievements around the state again.
We're much away from even the preseason starting.
And yet you see everywhere, well, everybody else just needs to get out and let Trump go, because that's all that matters.
DeSantis said, that's meaningful to me because it's really the model that I think the Republican Party can use to succeed going forward.
He said, what Kim has done here, what we've done in Florida, what Brian Kemp has done in Georgia, these are states that used to be viewed as very competitive.
And we've been able to win really, really big victories.
And I think it's because of leadership and then results.
And so, again, you've got the not-Trump-GOP coalition of DeSantis, Reynolds in Iowa, Kemp in Georgia.
And if all we really cared about was winning, and unfortunately that's what these politicians care about, you know, we could follow this horse race game.
The problem is there are unprincipled hacks.
You have some people who have horrendous records, but if they kiss the ring, somehow they are great.
And that's not just Trump who does that.
He is probably the most obvious of any of them doing that.
But they all do it to one extent or the other.
So we're going to take a really short break, and we'll be right back.
And we're going to talk when we come back about some border issues.
Stay with us. It's the David Knight Show.
Hear news now at APSRadioNews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story.
Well, we've had some reactions to the manifesto that was leaked.
And let's understand, this is not the manifesto was not leaked.
We had three pages. And they were damning enough, but there's a lot of other information.
There were several journals, suicide note, and some other things like that.
We just saw three pages of it.
So most of this is still being withheld from us.
And so... There's some reactions that are interesting to take a look at from Vivek Ramaswamy, from the National Police Association, from the Nashville mayor and others.
Vivek said when he looked at it, he says, well, what we need to do is investigate why it wasn't released.
Why it wasn't released.
Because the Nashville mayor, that's all he wants to do.
That's the Hillary Clinton procedure.
Hillary Clinton violates national security laws and regulations as Secretary of State.
Puts this out there, makes it available to everybody.
And then when somebody points that out, who pointed that out?
Who pointed that out? Who pointed out the fact that I violated the law?
That's the response of the Nashville mayor.
Who leaked this?
Whoever did that, this is a threat to safety.
So let's not talk about what's in it.
Let's talk about who leaked it.
Vivek says we need to investigate why it was not released.
But what he doesn't say is that it still hasn't been released.
Again, we've seen three pages.
And there were several journals of this person that were taken and kept secret after the local police were going to release it.
Then the FBI said, let's not do that.
We can use this for gun control.
We don't want people to see the product of our schools and how they're messing with people's minds, how they're turning them into self-loathing white liberals who hate their skin, who hate their genitals, who hate everybody and everything.
The Southern Baptist Convention, some guy named Leatherwood, I think it's part of the ethics thing or something like that.
Again, the Southern Baptist Convention just keeps sinking further and further down.
It's just amazing.
He says, we should not release this now.
Now we're going to be terrorizing people with words from the grave.
And the family has suffered, so don't release all this.
There's absolutely nothing, there would be nothing at all in this diary about those kids specifically.
Nothing. Nothing.
You know, this is not about them personally.
There's not going to be any details in the diaries.
about what was done to the children in the schools.
There's not going to be any, you know, the police have got pictures and they've got forensic evidence and all the rest of the stuff.
None of that is going to be shown.
That isn't something that is going to terrorize the families.
We need to know what the motivation of this person was.
And again, Southern Baptist Convention is trying to cover that up, just like they want to cover up sexual crimes and do a friend of the court brief saying, let's keep a short statute of limitations.
Let's not increase the statute of limitations.
Because we've got some other cases over here where people have made some allegations and some lawsuits against us.
And so we really don't care what happens to the kids.
We're just looking after the institution's best interest.
Well, you know what? The Southern Baptist Convention is an institution that doesn't exist in the Bible, shouldn't exist.
All of these organized religion things, whether you're talking about these hierarchical denominations, and it's just another one of these things.
It's not technically a denomination, but it is a reproach to Christ, the Southern Baptist Convention is.
Just disgusting. And then you've got the National Police Association.
Their position on this was...
We should have gotten this out sooner, and we need to still get it all out.
They were the only ones who got it right, as a matter of fact.
And they filed a lawsuit as soon as the local people said, we're not going to show this.
The National Police Association filed a lawsuit along with the Tennessee Star, local paper in Tennessee.
I think they're in Nashville. They all filed a lawsuit to get this, and that lawsuit is still there.
So the lawsuit may expose this stuff.
So, Karen had to go into Knoxville yesterday for some shopping and grocery shopping.
She was listening to the radio.
She said, yeah, I was listening to Dan Bongino, and the only time she hears him is when she goes in to Knoxville.
She said he spent the entire time talking about how this was released and who released it and everything.
And I really don't care who released it or how it was released.
The important thing is what was said and what it shows.
And what it shows that they don't want you to see.
It's how they are messing with kids' minds and the hate that is being inculcated.
And you can see it on the streets now as well.
You know, all of this Marxism, that's what our guest is going to be coming up in a few minutes, is going to be talking about.
Chuck Schumer. It says the Senate GOP border proposal is a non-starter.
Well, you know, they've got a big head start on taking the border down, as a matter of fact.
This is from Michael Yon.
I've had him on once.
I should get him on again. He says in Arizona, the border is completely open over a surface area the size of Connecticut with fewer than 20 agents on patrol because it's tribal land.
He said there's no technology.
No one is manning checkpoints for months.
It's the biggest meth, fentanyl, and high-caliber weapons transport lanes on the continent.
The entire northern and southern borders are similar, other than the showplaces for media.
This war is going to be intense, long, and transformative.
Meanwhile, Chinese share such videos showing how to invade the United States.
Take a look at this. This is a little cartoon video because, you know, this is not something that is anti-Mexican or anything.
This is anti-invasion.
If you want to protect the border, we're not talking about any particular group.
I've mentioned many times, you know, the family from El Salvador.
They were being victimized by the violence by MS-13 in El Salvador.
By the way, that gang was created in L.A., By a bunch of illegal immigrants who got picked up.
And, well, you know, they decided, let's form a gang.
And so it had its genesis in L.A. But it was so bad in El Salvador that he took his family north, went all the way up to Long Island in New York.
And his daughter was killed in school by a bunch of MS-13 kids with tattoos all over their face.
But Border Patrol didn't want to do anything about it during the Trump administration because we had DACA. And they knew they were here illegally, but we got DACA. We're not going to enforce the laws.
And they knew they were MS-13 because it was tattooed all over their faces.
And he said, I thought we could get away with that, but you can't.
If the border is open, the criminals are coming across.
And if the borders are open, countries that are at war with us or countries that want to prepare to go to war with us, It's a soft underbelly where any terrorists or any foreign soldiers can come in and set things up to go to war with us.
And so here's what they're showing, and this is what Michael Yan has pointed out over and over again.
He said, these people are coming from every country on Earth, friendly or hostile.
And here's the cartoon that they're producing.
Notice all the writing there is in Chinese.
So we'll take you on a bus, then you go across that area there in a boat.
Now you're going to have to walk...
And as they go from one country to the other, you see it flash up there.
Look at all the different countries they're transversing as they go up there.
And now they're getting into Mexico.
And now they've got a motorcycle they can ride.
And then come up in this particular one, they're going up into California.
And, you know, there you go.
So this is immigration tourism, I guess.
You know, a little video about how you're going to do that.
But it is, the illegal issue is global.
Meanwhile, you have RFK Jr.
has gotten people upset over one issue after the other.
He seems to be on a losing streak here.
He got people upset over his support of reparations.
And then he got people upset over his support of war.
And now he's back supporting censorship again.
And I told you I never believed that he, you know, what he had to say in terms of the fact that he wanted to jail his critics and people that disagreed with him.
He wanted to throw them in jail.
Nobody would ask him that question for months.
He's just basking in the sunlight and everybody, you know, these conservative alternative media sites just...
Oh, he's great, you know.
Well, he did tell the truth to some degree about the vaccines, but of course, he did get everybody in his family vaccinated.
But anyway, he put this out.
He says, it's time to hold college administrations responsible for the epidemic of campus anti-Semitism by insisting on zero-tolerance policies.
Well, you know, I think if people are making violent threats, you know, that would be something that you would want to do in college because that is a character issue.
Shouldn't character be a part of being in college?
Well, no, actually, it's just about identity politics anymore.
I said, so why is anybody surprised by this?
I retweeted that. I said that on Twitter.
I said he wanted to jail the Koch brothers.
Because he disagreed with them over his climate, radical climate alarmism.
And then when somebody finally asked him about it, his explanation was, no, I wasn't talking about them personally.
I was saying that we needed to give the death penalty to corporations that are fraudulent.
And if I decide that you're fraudulent because I disagree with what you're doing, then I can destroy your corporation.
Well, I think if they're truly fraudulent, but that's not what he's talking about.
I said, I think, you know, we should give the death penalty to fraudulent corporations, but you should also give them some due process.
And so he came back and he said, well, I was just talking about the corporations.
No, if you say we're going to give them three hots and a cot, you're not talking about that.
You're talking about a person.
And he was talking about putting his opponents in jail.
He's never supported free speech.
And so when you look at this, why is it that they're now just noticing what's going on in terms of the hate and the Marxism, which our guest is going to be talking about?
Why are they just now noticing that?
Now it's anti-Semitism, they're noticing it, but it's been about anti-white and anti-American history and all the rest of the stuff, and they were just fine with that.
Everybody was fine with that.
And the donors who are now leaving these institutions and taking their money with them didn't care when it was anti-white.
They didn't care when it was a Marxist revolution.
But now when they're criticizing people who are like them, now they care.
See, this is a problem.
If you don't understand the principles, if you only care when it's people like you or when it finally hits you, that's a big problem.
So we're going to take a quick break here, and we are going to have our guest join us, Sheevan Fleet, who has written a book called Mao's America.
She was able to, she saw this happening as a child in China, growing up under Mao and the Cultural Revolution, and she says exactly the same thing is happening right now in America.
So this book is her warning to America, and I'm very excited to hear her talk about her experiences.
We'll be right back. Thank
Thank you.
Making Sense Common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Looking for better information?
APSRadioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world.
APSRadioNews.com All right, and joining us now, our guest has written a book, Mouse America.
A survivor's warning.
And I am really anxious to talk to her because she grew up in China.
She was there during Mao's Cultural Revolution.
She eventually came to America.
And I have seen this over and over again.
You had Rod Dreher said he had...
His friend's parents, who had been in Stalinist Russia, were getting very upset.
They said, this is exactly the same stuff we saw in Russia.
This is exactly the same stuff she saw in China.
And we need to understand where these people are taking us, and we need to understand what their tactics are.
So joining us now is Xi Van Fleet.
Her book is Mao's America, A Survivor's Warning.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you for inviting me.
And you came to prominence.
I mean, you were just kind of living a quiet life here in America and you came to prominence in Loudoun, Virginia, because you were speaking out against some of the things that you saw in school.
You said, this is exactly what I saw as a child growing up in China.
This is the communist tactic.
Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah of course that was something that I was not prepared for so I went to school board and thinking I'm just doing my duty and have no idea that my video went viral and at the same time I was shocked to find how few people I
It's just, oh, the left went crazy.
But for people who experienced cultural revolution and who lived under communism, you don't have to experience the exact, what I experienced, the Chinese cultural revolution.
If you live under communism, it's, we recognize it instantaneously.
This is communism.
Marxism. That's what Rod Dreher was saying.
He said the people who have lived under it, whether it was Russia or China, they can smell it a mile away because you can't not look the other direction.
I was surprised because we adopted our daughter from China.
I was surprised when we went there about 15 years ago to see all these pictures of Mao everywhere because I knew the hardships that people had gone through and how many people had died, the cultural revolution, all these other things.
I was surprised to see him still essentially revered.
But we do that, don't we, in various countries?
Yeah, and Marx, you know, the evil genius that his toxic ideology led to the deaths of more than 100 million people, he was It still has been revered by this left and by the professors and the university and the students there as well.
So yeah, because this ideology has never been public, trialed and denounced.
And that is the problem.
And that's why your book is very important.
Tell us a little bit about what it was like growing up as a child in the Cultural Revolution.
Did you get sent out into the rural areas and everything as they were doing?
Yeah, it's a long history and it's complicated and I do my best to just make it short and still make sense.
Okay, so I was...
In my second semester of the first grade, when Cultural Revolution started in 1966.
So I had one semester of more or less normal education.
And I remember very little, but I do remember, you know, in the reading class, we were learning sentences that's just describing nature, kind of peaceful, kind of memorable, and a normal kind of thing.
Mm-hmm. And then that was it.
That's the only thing I remember.
And then heading on to the second semester, that's when the cultural revolution started, and pretty much immediately the school was closed because all the principals and teachers were ousted by the students because they were They become the target of the Cultural Revolution because Mao condemned all of them as counter-revolution,
reactionary intellectual authority, meaning they were the enemy of the state, should be altered.
So the students turned against the teachers and the school were closed.
Closed for me, two years.
And for other places, as long as four years.
No school. Total chaos.
And so we, as little kids, had nothing to do.
So we went to the streets.
every day and then what we witness is the unfolding of the cultural revolution of the struggle sessions parade of those people being denounced and the Red Guards debate each other and pretty soon and cancel culture definitely smashing of statues and taking down any signboards of stores that We're traditional.
Anything that is not communist or revolutionary, we're all smashed and destroyed and pretty soon turned into violence.
You know, I did an interview not too long ago with an individual who wrote a book about a Project Veritas whistleblowers experience in a corporation and how they were pushing, you know, this critical race theory and things like that.
And he was very upset about it.
He was black and he was still upset about it.
He didn't like it.
And so he started taking notes and then he became a whistleblower for Project Veritas.
And he wrote the book.
And when I talked to the guy who wrote the book with him and really for him, he was saying, yeah, you know, all this stuff that's happening, critical race theory and all the rest of this stuff, people want to call it Marxism.
It's not Marxism.
It's like, oh, it is Marxism.
It absolutely is.
In so many different ways.
I couldn't believe it when you said that.
I didn't really, you know, get into it with him because I really wanted to find out this guy's experiences.
But, you know, it really is purely Marxism.
Talk about the struggle sessions, and people can understand.
If they understand some of the specifics of these things, you know, what does a struggle session look like?
They'll start to see how it aligns with what we're seeing here in the United States.
Yes, yes. But I want to add to what you just said.
It's Yes.
Marxism and it's pure Maoism.
And that's why I call my book Mao's America.
It is Maoism with American characteristics.
And that's why I don't like to use the term woke.
I mean, first of all, these people are not awake.
They're not conscious of what's going on.
And the people who use that term, that's another trick that they do.
They come up with their own labels for themselves and their labels for you.
And we must not use those labels because that's propaganda, too.
The CCP used the same word, woke.
Did they really? Yeah, they did.
They did. And in Chinese, it's called jiewu, meaning awakening inside you, a consciousness.
And we have to raise our class consciousness and see everything in terms of class.
And so anyone that's somehow run against the party narrative is casted as the enemy of the state or the black class.
And you always want to do anything to remain in the red class, which is the allies of revolution.
And constantly everyone has to raise their class wokeness or consciousness.
Now, same terminology, but people, of course, they don't know because they never learned the history.
I think it's interesting in this country, too, that they got everybody to agree with, okay, we've got the red states and the blue states.
It's like, no, the blue states are pushing Marxism, socialism, the red states.
Red has always been the color of the communists, as you just pointed out.
Yeah, revolution. Yeah, exactly.
And so they do that to muddy the water, to confuse people.
And you've got people out there saying, yes, we're the red states, we're the...
I know.
See, I am so disgusted with communism.
For the longest time, I don't want to wear anything red because that just reminds me of communism, of revolution, of blood, of violence.
And then come here, okay, you know, we are, you know.
Republic is red, but then I found out that Democrats did the switch because they don't want to associate with communism, which is exactly what they are.
Anyway, so now I embrace red because now I'm conservative because stuck with the color red.
We just have to make the best of it.
I just try to avoid that term, red and woke, as much as I can.
And you know, if you go back and you look at Antifa, I got a friend who was in Germany, and he says, you go back to the 1930s, they haven't even changed their flag.
They had the same flag in Germany in the 1930s that they've got now.
And so, yeah, it is amazing how they just import this stuff over them, because Americans don't know their history, and they don't know what has happened in other countries.
They just, they swallow it, hook, line, and sinker.
So tell us about the struggle sessions.
Yes, struggle session. What is struggle session?
Actually, I'm going a little deeper what that really means.
Struggle session is a term used not just during the Cultural Revolution.
It started as soon as the Communists took over China in 1949.
And then one of the major campaigns they launched is called land reform.
Land reform is what Communists did To fulfill their promise to the peasants who support their revolution, that they're going to give the free land to them.
Go ahead, that's okay.
Yeah, and I got some free gift for you here.
Okay, good, good.
Yeah, okay. So, here, listen to it.
How do you get all the peasants together And fight the landlord in order to get their land to raise their class consciousness.
Because the peasant did not know such a thing as a class.
That was an alien to them.
So... They have to be taught.
And just like a DEI training.
So the communists trained the peasants and told them, you are poor, not because you did not work hard, not because you are not smart.
And we're seeing that now in terms of reparations.
Because I do agree that, you know, there they used and in Europe they used class.
And that doesn't work here in America because, you know, nobody really saw themselves as being a different class.
But they did see themselves as being a different race, a different skin color.
So that's what they focused on.
And that's why there's been so much focus on white privilege and all the rest of the stuff.
And why, you know, the reparations is really very much like the promises of land reform.
They even go back and say, well, you know, after slavery, you're supposed to get, you know, an acre and 40 mules or something like that.
Or, you know, they actually make these kinds of analogies.
Yeah.
Same idea.
The rich exploit it and oppress them.
So now everyone knows there are two classes.
There's a black class, there's a red class, and they are enemies.
And then the goal of the red class is to eradicate the black class.
So that is the beginning of the political Identity and that was the thing that the CCP used to permanently divide the Chinese people.
Okay going back to the so the struggle session started in the land reform in 1949 to 1951.
The same formula they absolutely did the same tactic is the landlord Or the rich peasants will be struggled against like a public trial and the peasants would condemn them and the peasants were coached to retell their suffering and then blame all their suffering, all their problems to the landlords.
And then they will say, what do we do with the landlord?
And our desk to the landlord and then dragged out and executed.
And that's how it started.
And during the Cultural Revolution, the enemy has shifted.
It's no longer the landlord and the rich peasants.
They become those in power, meaning those were the CCP. Bureaucrats or the CCP leadership.
Why? Because Mao felt like he was no longer in control of his party.
He wanted to purge everyone.
He can't purge everyone because that would look like he was after his own party.
He had a better idea.
He mobilized all the young people from his government schools and his universities.
Those were called the Red Guards.
So they mobilized the Red Guards, gave them Power.
Pure power and dismantled the police and the law enforcement.
And no one can stop them.
Anything they do was justified.
Anything they do has no consequences.
So they went after those in power.
All levels of the government from the village to the central government.
So that is what the Red Guards did.
Struggle session. I witnessed the struggle session for the governor of my province.
Because the governor was pretty tall, so they got two basketball players to hold him on the stage, and so to make the governor look small.
And then the Red Guard had a loud speaker and denounced him, and so then people shouted slogans.
And during that particular struggle session, I did not see violence, but he was beaten.
He was struggled against...
He probably went to like a hundred of this kind of a struggle session.
And his wife was also part of that struggle sessions.
And during one struggle session, they pulled the red guards, pulled all her hair off.
Wow. And eventually she committed suicide.
Wow. So there was a violent struggle session that people were beaten to death right on the spot.
And there were milder, which is just verbal abuse.
That's what I looked at. But that's not it.
It's not just... Struggle session is not something against denounced enemy.
Struggle session really, really means struggle against yourself.
And in CCP's word, it's criticism and self-criticism.
As a young kid, I went through, it's routine, it's every week there is a political study and then we have to read some of the Mao's quotation and then we carry out this self-criticism and self-criticism.
So each kid will say whatever the person, you know, the kid did not do well enough According to most instructions.
So you denounce yourself.
Wow. And we see that today.
We see that today. Kids have to denounce themselves because of their, you know, their gender, you know, and their normalcy or whatever that we would say, or their skin color.
It's exactly the same thing that they do.
See? See? You see?
Yeah. So you denounce yourself, and then you denounce your classmates.
So we go around and around and around.
You say, okay, I did not do this right, you know.
Of course, we did not say we have privilege.
You know, just say we were not up to mouse instruction and we should do better.
And then say, so-and-so, that day I saw you say this, and I saw you act like that, and that's not right.
So that is really the core.
It's not those kind of public trial.
It is at every level.
Every person is involved in struggling.
So that's exactly what we're seeing now.
DEI. You denounce your privilege if you're white.
And you swear that you'll do better.
And then you denounce your co-worker who you heard saying this and that.
And that's Absolutely the same thing.
Oh, yes. I remember the testimony of a young girl who was pressured into gender mutilation and surgery and things like that.
And she said, you know, I got into this group because, and I forget what it was, it was some pop group that she liked or some game that she liked or something like that.
And so it was just a special interest group.
But everybody that was in it was into this type of struggle session thing.
She didn't call it that. But she said, you know, they were all leftist, and I was just heterosexual, and I was white, and I had to denounce myself to be a part of this group.
And so I started denouncing all that.
It wasn't enough to just say, okay, you can do whatever you want.
I had to hate myself for that.
And I had to make these confessions to them.
That is what they're doing to all the kids.
It's amazing. How they have very insidiously and subtly and undercover inserted all of these psychological tactics that were used by Mao in America.
Of course, because people have no idea because they don't know history.
And people like me see through right away because it's the same, absolutely the same thing.
So you can't be just not a racist, right?
You have to be anti-racist.
Yes. Yes. Yeah, so exactly the same idea.
Yes. Tell us a little bit about the cancel culture, of course, which is tied with that as well, and the need for them to destroy statues.
We just saw this fetishized destruction of a Robert E. Lee statue, and they took up a very high-quality video of them melting it down, all the rest of the stuff.
This is a very important thing for the communists to take down statues and to erase the culture that's existing there.
Yeah. The goal is to erase past, period.
Cancer culture is really to, in China, it's called a destruction of the four old.
Old, idea, Old culture, old habit, old custom.
Anything that is traditional, anything that is pre-communist, communist regime has to be erased, has to be destroyed.
And you start with something very symbolic, right?
Anything that is Everyone can see.
And then what you do? You go and destroy the statues.
And so, in China, we did not have many public statues as in the West.
Most of them were religious statues, such as in the Buddhist temple or in church.
And that's what they went after.
They destroyed all the statues.
And that's not it.
They change the names of everything that is not traditional, that is traditional, such as institution names, store names, food brand.
Sounds familiar? Yeah.
Oh, yeah, exactly. Great names.
Oh, man. We're deep into this.
We're deep into this, aren't we?
So the four O's, old ideas, old culture, old habit.
What was the fourth one? And old customs.
Old customs. Interesting.
It's just the civilization of China.
It all has to go.
Why? Because if you want to install Maoism as the supreme ideology or the religion of the land, you have to remove everything before it.
And the cancel culture went to the next stage.
Okay, they destroyed everything in the public.
And they said there were more.
They were hidden in people's homes.
And we have to go after that.
That's what they did.
They raided people's homes.
And took whatever they think is old, destroyed them or confiscated them.
This is the largest looting operation in history.
Wow. Wow.
Of course, you know, we have the IRS is going to be made five to seven times bigger, depending on which budget they go through.
And that's what I'm concerned about is that they're going to go around confiscating not necessarily statues because people don't have that many statues or things like that on their own, but go around confiscating any physical property.
Tell us a little bit about what they did to the family.
Because that is a key part of this, you know, in America.
Was there, as part of the four O's, would that, I don't know, would the family fall into one of these in terms of culture or custom or something like that?
Yes. Okay.
I'm sorry. Oh, that's okay.
Take your time. Drink something if you'd like to.
Go ahead. Go ahead. I'll cover here for you.
You said that, again, we look at things like critical race theory and stuff like that.
Again, we're talking about race rather than class.
That's the difference in communism in America versus China or Europe.
But again, old ideas, old cultures, old habits, and old customs.
And I imagine family fits in there somewhere.
Absolutely. So, for family, you don't have to guess.
You just read Communist Manifesto.
It's laid out there clearly.
There's three things they want to abolish.
One is private property.
Another is religion.
Another is family.
So, that is laid out there, you know, clear for everyone to see.
They have to destroy religion.
Because in order to implement communism as the religion and this is very very important communism is not and How come it is a religion?
Even though they say they're against religion, but it is a religion.
It replaces religion.
So they have to destroy religion.
And they have to destroy family.
Because those are the foundations of any society.
So... That started very early on, especially in schools.
And so it was very, very clear to everyone, not just to kids, but to parents as well.
The kids belong to the state.
Yes. And the parents understand that.
And so if you have to choose between your parents and the state, you choose the state.
And there's no question about it.
Many kids reported their parents during the Cultural Revolution to the authority.
And some of the parents were arrested and some were executed.
It was so clear in my mind, in every kid's mind, the party was our parents.
and the chairman Mao was our parent and that is if you talk to any any people lived under communism it is a common threat they destroy religion they destroy family Yeah, and of course, those of us who knew about that understood and saw that when Hillary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child.
You destroy the family, you put the children under the care of the government.
We had MSNBC running the Public service announcements a few years ago.
Melissa Harris Perry, I think was her name.
She said, we've got to get over this idea that children belong to the parents.
And at that point in time, they hadn't really found something that they could use as a wedge.
Now what they're doing is they're using this transgender thing as a wedge.
And that's where it's coming in.
But it'll be other things. You know, you'll be denounced.
It'll be other things. Yeah, it'll be other things.
That's just the first thing they're doing right now.
Yeah. Yeah, that was not on the horizon.
You know, people are looking at this.
Oh, okay, fine. You know, the village is there.
They're going to help to do it.
But, you know, where is the conflict here?
And so they came up with the conflict.
First, they sell you the idea that kids belong to the state and to the society and to the village.
And then they find the issues of conflict to punish the parents with.
But actually, they have been doing that before transgender.
Transgender really just showcased how they are trying to cut the ties between parents and children and actively set children up against their parents.
But for decades, they have been teaching the values of communism and Marxism.
And even though... That's not what Americans know about.
But they have been developing the children with a new set of ideologies and created this conflict between generations, right?
And there's a lot of families, especially in recent years, a lot of families just broken up just like the Cultural Revolution because they don't agree With each other ideologically.
And they have been doing that for a very, very long time and they will find other issues and they will find any issues to advance their agenda.
That means to take the children away from the parents so they control them.
That's right. Yeah, you know, just as we saw that they used class in China and in Europe as a dividing thing, and here they use skin color, then I think also in the same way, this dividing wedge, I've seen this, as you talk about, this has been going on for decades, of course, and I remember one of the first cases that I saw this is up in Massachusetts, and it was a father who didn't want his eight-year-old girl in a sex education class, and at the time...
Was not into all of these, shall we say, highly deviant sexual practices that are going on right now.
It was just straight side.
But she was eight years old. He said, I don't think she's mature enough for this.
And they said, well, she has to do it.
So he went to school to take her out.
They arrested him for trespassing.
And the judge said, when you drop your child off at the school, you have surrendered them to the state, and we will act in loco parentis in place of the parents.
And so there's been this wedge that You know, they've been making the wedge, the sexual wedge, they've been making it wider and wider with all the different diverse practices and everything.
But just as they began to use this wedge of sexuality against the parents, and this really kind of does go back even to the mid-20th century, you know, where you had the, and then following up, you know, in the 1950s, the generation gap, and then the sexual revolution, all this stuff.
They've been using the sex thing as a wedge issue, especially with the parents, And they've really weaponized it in a very visual way, especially in just the last few years.
But they'll find other things, as you pointed out.
It always is something. Yeah, sex was their secret weapon.
But it's really anything traditional, anything kind of normal they are challenging right now, right?
And in a communist country that we were taught, we were equal to the parents.
We can educate our parents.
So many times we were taught that we were better than our parents because we know better.
We are more updated in our learning.
And so we should always watch out.
Our parents and make sure they are up to date with their learning.
And that's why in communist countries, they worship or they give power to the youth.
And that's what we're doing now.
The young people, they know...
We're led to believe that they know better or they know what's best for them.
And the same ideology, the same idea that the children are better off knowing what's best for them than the parents.
That's right. And I saw that, you know, even though I was a child at the time, We're good to go.
That in China, it was a lot more conservative and not as fluctuating as it has been in America because of the embracing of media and entertainment and of the baby boom teenagers and all the rest of the stuff.
They were able to then have this rapidly evolving culture that really kind of played into their hands, I think.
But was it more conservative in China when Mao came in?
In terms of culture and family?
Yeah, it was very traditional.
But during the Cultural Revolution, everything turned upside down.
In the Cultural Revolution, to us, the world...
It was turned upside down, just like today.
We're taught similar things.
I think some of them were not as extreme as what we see in America.
But we were also taught that there's no difference between men and women.
We're the same. Whatever men can do, women can do better.
The other half of the sky.
The other half of the sky. Yeah, like Biden quoted.
And so, we dress like a man.
We talk like men.
We think like men.
We act like men.
So if you go to China in the 60s and 70s, you see a sea of gray.
People look alike and you can hardly distinguish the gender.
And so we were made into a genderless society.
And so Mao always bragged that he liberated women from the oppression of the old society and of the patriarchy.
But they did not give them choice.
So they're all liberated from the household shores and their children were sent to daycare by the government.
So they were forced to join their workforce.
They become The work be for the party.
They work side by side with the men.
So they become men.
So it's not extreme to say that women can be men and men can be women, but it's close.
Same idea. Same idea.
Same idea. Same idea.
Yeah, we just add in a kind of a sexual deviance overtone to it.
But it is that radical leveling, which is another, you know, everything in communism is leveled, right?
You know, we take everybody down, except for the people at top.
And everybody else owns nothing, and they're happier in all that, aren't they?
No, that's what I say.
Now we're taught that we should own nothing and be happy.
In Chinese, in the communist China, in most time especially, that we had nothing and we have to be happy.
If you show that you're not happy, if you show that you're dissatisfied, you will end up in a struggle session or in the gulags.
Yeah, that's what they're working on here.
If you are not happy, you better take the Brave New World approach.
You can self-medicate with drugs or alcohol or sex or whatever to just drop out of the world.
But if you pay attention and you get upset about it, you get the 1984 treatment.
It's amazing how this is all coming around and we're seeing exactly the same type of thing.
So... What do you...
You've written the book.
You've gone around and talked to a lot of people and trying to wake up Americans.
Are they starting to see the light in this?
I do. I think when I started to talk, and I remember one particular place, and I went to talk, and I talked about cultural revolution, Red Guards, and I just noticed there's this kind of blank...
Look from the audience.
And I realize, my God, they really don't know anything.
I have to start from the very beginning.
And I can't just say the Cultural Revolution.
What is Cultural Revolution?
Why Cultural Revolution?
What is Red Guard? How it come into being?
And there's just too much to explain in, you know, like 40 minutes speak.
And in the process, a lot of people ask me, you know, I met a lot of people in the past two years.
And they said, do you have a book?
I'm going to write a book.
And it's because that I know that I need to write this book to explain everything in more detail.
How and why and where and all that.
And I hope it's going to be helpful for people to understand what the Chinese Cultural Revolution is about and why it's so similar to the American Cultural Revolution that is unfolding in front of us.
Yeah, you know, people talk about communist subversion, but the reason they mention that is because these people have brought the exact same tactics and plans in and, you know, pretended that this is just something that they thought of.
And if we don't understand the pattern and how this has been used and what it led to, it's going to be really bad.
Now, were you there during the period when there was a lot of starvation and things like that?
No, no. I was born in that time.
And it started in 1959, lasted three years.
So, no, I... So you're not, as a child, you're not really caught up in the great leap forward type of thing, right?
No, I was too little for that.
But... Everybody, you know, like my parents' generation, know about stories or still alive that I know enough growing up.
But I did not understand why, but I just understood that it was a time that everyone was going hungry and those were lucky ones because they were in the city.
And they have ration.
They have ration of a certain amount of food, even though everybody was going hungry.
But in the countryside, that's where deaths took place.
Up to 50 million Chinese peasants died.
Wow. It's very interesting how both Stalin and Mao use so many of the same tactics, as you're pointing out, the struggle sessions and everything.
You know, Stalin had his purges.
But then at the beginning of all this, you know, Stalin had his halamador and Ukraine goes to the place where it's the most fertile and starves the people to death.
Yeah. Seems to be that same tactic seems to be on the horizon.
And of course, that really is kind of at the leading edge of the oppression.
Because first, you have to take everything away from everybody and do your great reset before you can impose this new system.
And I think they've got a timeline for this new system of 2030.
So I think they're going to escalate this pretty quickly.
What do you think? Yes, I think that people absolutely need to understand this.
Communism has nothing to do with communalism, right?
Communal, we're just sharing, we're happy together, we take away private property, so there's no exploitation, we're all happy together.
Communism is all about one thing, control.
Yes. Okay, control everything.
In people's lives.
Control what you can have.
Control where you can live.
And now we're told 15 minutes a city is where we should live.
Control where you can move during the mouse time.
They control in such a way that nobody can really move Just to visit another place, because they give you a coupon for food, and that coupon only applies to where you live.
So if you say, I'm going to take three months vacation, travel around the country, you can't do that.
First of all, you have no money.
And second, your coupon could not apply to another city.
So you're kind of stuck where you were.
And then how many children you can have?
Right? When before, they want to have as many children as possible.
They follow Stalin's policy.
As many, and then they change it.
Only have one. If you have more, you're dragged to the hospital and your baby will forcefully abort it.
And then what you can say, There's no freedom of speech.
Zero. Okay?
And if you have to praise the party, you have to praise it correctly.
If you praise the party incorrectly, you're also in trouble.
And mostly, mostly, people pay attention to what you can think.
So that is communism.
In a nutshell. Control.
That's true. And so people think, do you know that what you're taught was a lie when you were in school?
How do I know? I have no idea.
Because all the information was controlled.
I have no idea to compare to anything, right?
It's just one... Version of everything.
One version of truth, and it's from the party, and one source of information is from the party media or from the school.
Everything is controlled by...
So when you have no other information, you can't think.
You cannot think critically without access to information.
That's right. And that's why they're working so hard on censorship now.
Yes, exactly. It is a very insidious program.
And, of course, it's interesting when we talk about the one-child policy, because what China has done is that they've aligned themselves with this globalist climate movement.
And the globalist climate movement is a perfect fit, a perfect rationale for them to institute communism.
You know, one of the clips that I've played several times is Justin Trudeau.
He was asked, what's your favorite country in the world besides, of course, Canada?
And he says, China, because I could tell everybody what to do to save the environment.
That's exactly what this is all about.
They have a rationale to tell everybody what to do, and they're going to control everything in our lives on the basis of that, including how many kids we have.
And, of course, the whole climate and environmental movement was born out of depopulation and the idea that humans are a virus and we've got to reduce humanity, which is exactly what Stalin and Mao wanted to do with their starvation programs.
There's too many people here to control, so let's reduce the number of people here, and as I reduce them and devastate the population in my country, I can show my authority and establish myself as the dread...
It's amazing how they have followed through to the letter all of these same policies and it's a plan that's just rolling out to us.
And also you know what's happening in China now, right?
They ran out of cheap labor.
They are in deep, deep trouble and the population is so aged And really, the future is diary.
And then, you know what?
The party said, you should have three.
That is worse than the population.
In the very beginning, Stalin encouraged births after the Second World War, right?
They have an award to mothers who have nine children, ten children.
Mao did the same thing. They control everything according to their needs.
So now they ask people to have three.
Well, that's not that easy.
You just ask and people just have three.
But this started with party members.
Party members, if you want promotion, you are required to have three children.
Well, that's communism.
Control. Control of everything.
Just flip the switch and now we're going to do something completely different.
Did you have any experience when you were there in terms of Christian persecution?
The underground church that was there.
I had no idea what Christianity was.
That's the truth. And so, no idea, because religion removed out of our lives.
The only thing that, you know, in China, the largest religion is Buddhism, has been Buddhism.
Okay, so there are temples, and even though some of them were destroyed, but there are still some in the city, but they turn into parks.
So growing up, I go into this so-called Buddhist parks.
So I know there's such a thing.
And then we're told they're all superstitious.
And it's all backward and primitive.
So I just go there and look at the Buddha and just thinking, that's just so stupid.
They make a statue like that.
So religion was absent in our lives.
And of course, I know better.
We had a religion, that's communism.
And we had a God, that's Mao.
And we had a Bible, that's the Mao's red little book.
But only in the early 80s, And so I was working in a college for training school teachers.
And then Americans started coming in, and they want to see churches.
And so by then, some of them started to open.
And I was shocked to find there was a building that I passed through there countless times.
It was a church.
And so I took them there, the American teachers, and there I met a young guy.
And so he said, He was, you know, I was 20, in my early 20s, and he was two.
So he said he was Christian, and because his parents had passed it down to them, they just do it at home.
I was like, really?
I have no clue. I really had no clue that there was such a thing that in China, there was, among us, there were some underground Christians.
So, of course, later, you know, it opened up a little more, and In the 90s and early 2000s.
But now, you know, it's crashing.
Then they're closing churches.
And the churches that are not closed become the party churches.
Yes. And if you go to some of the churches, in the altar, it's Mao's portrait and Xi Jinping's portrait.
Yes. And hit to the cross.
I've talked about that many times that if you're going to put up a cross, you've got to put Mao on one side and Xi Jinping on the other side.
And I said, do they realize that they've got Jesus and the two thieves on either side?
So, if you, today, if you go to China, you can still go to church.
There's still some open. Those are CCP's church.
Yes. And the real church is underground.
And then later, after I came out, I met more people who were part of that underground church.
So... They call it the church of the three-person self or something like that, don't they, isn't it?
Something like that. Yeah, the three-self was a policy that was installed early on.
Basically, they are going to make church, Chinese church.
Mm-hmm. You know, and not even Chinese church, a CCP's church.
Yes, yes. So if you go to today, if you go to, I went, actually I checked the Association for Buddhism in China, Christianity, Catholic, whatever.
If you go to their website, their landing page is the support, the Communist Party, the support socialism, the support...
Forget it. You know, they are not really independent.
And you find that, you know, what they started doing, even the churches that were doing that, you know, trying to bow and scrape to the Communist Party, they would then come in and tear them down anyway, you know?
I mean, it's just, you know, it depends on what their whim is.
I remember when we were there, we were there for a couple of weeks, and then as we went south into Hong Kong and were on the train, I saw crosses for the first time.
I was like, you know, I didn't think I thought about that.
I hadn't seen any churches or any crosses or anything like that the whole time we were there in China.
You know, it was all underground. But it's pretty big underground from all reports because that kind of persecution really grows a church, and it grows real strong church members who...
They're not going to be coming for the ice cream social.
That's just that way they're there, because they're really serious about it.
Well, I tell you, that's another thing people should know.
Under communism, there's absolutely no freedom for religion or faith.
Yeah, so...
Well, I think they're right to understand that the church is their enemy, because I think that is the most effective guerrilla organization to oppose this kind of authoritarianism.
Christianity was the roots of our liberal society in the West, and it's going to be the way that they're going to uproot the communists from the ground up, I think, in that country.
But, you know, when you're talking about the fact that even they wanted to control What you think.
That was when Rod Dreyer was talking to people who had come from Russia and places like that.
And in the tradition of Solzhenitsyn, he actually named his book Live Not by Lies because that was an essay by Solzhenitsyn.
That's what they want you to do.
They want you to, as you point out, as a child, you're given one source of information, and that's just the way that it is, and so you just go with that.
But for the other people, and if you come up with, eventually they're going to come to you and tell you that they want you to repeat 2 plus 2 equals 5.
Until you believe it.
Yes. Until you believe it.
Exactly. And so that's the thing.
It's about breaking your will to eventually come in.
And I think that's another aspect of what we see with this gender stuff.
You know, you have to, regardless of what you actually see or know or whatever, you've got to deny that and go with what they say is real.
And so that's the key thing.
You know, and that was the one thing that Solzhenitsyn saw that was the common thing amongst all these different totalitarian societies is that ultimately you're going to have to bend your what you know is true is going to have to be bent to what they want you to say just as a power exercise and we see that happening now.
In the United States. And that's why it's so important for people to say, nope, not going to go there.
And understand where all of this is coming from.
All of these things, as you point out, Mao's America, warning America of the fact that this is a plan.
It is an agenda.
They've executed this plan, and it's going to be so much worse for us because now they have the leverage of technology.
Yeah. And also, just this morning, I watched a clip of the interview by this guy, George.
He used to be Clinton's advisor.
A Greek name? I can't remember right now.
George whatever, Kalapos.
Oh, Stephanopoulos?
Stephanopoulos? Yes. And the interview, a Congress member.
And he just kept doing that.
Can you say that 2020 election is not stolen?
And then when he was talking about something, he'd bring it back, he'd bring it back, he'd bring it back.
Can you say, yes or no, it is stolen?
That's exactly the same tactic.
A woman is a woman.
Can you say, this man is standing in front of you, that he is a woman.
You have to say it. Can you say it?
Say it now. Same tactic.
It's a struggle session, isn't it?
Well, it is time for us to struggle against these people, and you have to, people need to understand, that's why your book is so important, people need to understand the tactics.
This is nothing new.
There's nothing new under the sun.
You know, Solomon was wise enough to say that, and of course this kind of stuff has been going around forever, but it has been honed into a fine tactic of psychological manipulation by the communists, and now what they're going to do worldwide is take that tactic, that agenda that you lay out here that Mao did, and they're going to wed it to modern technology to give them more leverage on people, I think.
Just realize they have established the truth, right?
The climate is changing, and they're going to destroy the earth if we don't do anything.
Otherwise, we're a denier, denier, denier.
And that is exactly what Mao did.
One truth, and everyone has to go by it.
And if you question it, you're an enemy of the state.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we see that over and over again.
It is so important for people to see this.
Again, the book is Mal's America, A Survivor's Warning.
Best place to get that?
Anywhere the books are sold?
Or do you have a website that you sell that directly?
I know. I should have. But I don't.
It'll get you a little bit more money. So I always want to offer that to authors because I know that they make a little bit more money if they sell it direct.
But again, Amazon, anywhere that books are sold, Mao's America, A Survivor's Warning, very important.
Thank you so much for speaking out about this and telling people this and speaking out in these...
You know, the beginning of the struggle sessions that are there.
Thank you so much for a message that is so needed and a historical context and perspective that is so missing in America that people can find in your book.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you. Xi Van Fleet.
Thank you very much. We'll take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
Stay with us. You're
listening to The David Knight Show.
And I see I've got a comment from Gard Goldsmith.
Good to see you, Gard. Thank you very much for the tip.
He said, this is a key conversation.
Marxism is always a cultural weapon.
Yes, exactly. Hiding within economics or, quote, equity, using envy to split people apart.
And leave government as the answer, the power tool to control.
A friend from Siberia saw many similar things before moving here.
Thank you both for this thoughtful conversation.
Well, thank you, Gard. And again, he is exactly right.
It is always about culture.
Fregan says the children were Mao's weapons.
Yes. And we see this in Russia, all the communist countries, these totalitarian countries.
They use the education, the government-run education.
That's why they wanted one of the key parts of the Communist Manifesto is government mandatory attendance that's run by the government in the schools.
If the government runs the schools, you're going to wind up eventually becoming Marxist or very close to it, which we see, which is happening now.
They are useful idiots for these people, and there's no more useful idiot than a youthful idiot.
And so they want to get these kids from an early age and indoctrinate them.
And that's what our government system has become.
This is why I have absolutely greats on me.
To see Republicans running and say, well, you know, the problem with this Democrat governor is he shut us down so long the kids got behind in their school.
Oh, you mean they missed some of their struggle sessions?
About race and class and gender and all the rest of the stuff?
They missed some of that stuff?
They're behind in all of that?
We've got to defund these schools.
And as she was pointing out, you know, they took out the police and put the students in charge.
Does it sound like something that we're going through the summer of 2020 when Trump was still president?
Defund the police. Let Andy Fahm BLM run wild in the streets.
Yeah, that's right. KWD-68.
Controlled language. Gay used to mean happy.
Exactly. Everything is about the language.
Whether you're talking about illegal immigrants or you're talking about Every subject.
They carefully control it.
That's why the Babylon Bee thing, talking about babies as womb colonizers.
That's a perfect example, because it's exactly what the Associated Press is all about.
You're not pro-life.
You're anti-abortion rights.
End of story. You're not pro-abortion.
You know, you are pro-choice.
And if you are against killing babies, you are anti-abortion rights.
Grant 7777.
Thank you. Light blue is the color of democracy.
Red is the color of communism and dictatorship.
And that's why they have made those connections there.
ON61, I'm old enough to remember when blue dog Democrats...
Were the Democrats that leaned to the right?
Yep, that's right.
KWD-68, yes, so, and I also remember the Reagan election maps being red, and Democrats were red.
That needed a change, and the media did it across the board by the time Clinton came.
I remember that flipping as well.
High Boost says, Communism is a religion, the state is the god, there is and can be no other.
Yeah, I refer to it as godverment.
Because if you think about the three attributes of God, omnipotence, all-powerful, omniscience, knowing everything, and omnipresent, everywhere, all the time, big brother, looking at everything you do.
That's what these people seek to be and seek to replace God in your life.
Hal 9000, Watson.
Commies eliminate religion so you can worship their dictator.
Audi, MRR, Modern Retro Radio.
Good to see you there. He says, the best thing that could happen is for Americans to wake up to the New World Order agenda individually.
Any movement with a leader would ensure his or her assassination by the government.
I agree. And also, it's a dead end.
You know, at the very beginning, when this Trump cult was starting, I was of the opinion that he was a man of no character, and I talked about it frequently vis-a-vis his wives, vis-a-vis what he did to that elderly woman trying to condemn her house so he could build his parking lot for his casino straight out of Pixar's Up.
But I said, you know, the other thing about this is that even if he comes in here and he does some of these policies that he's talked about, you know, getting immigration under control, although I didn't think the law was going to be effective at that.
But, you know, even if he does the stuff that he says, we're starting to get to the point where he's become such a personality cult.
Then what happens to this movement when he dies?
Or he's done two terms or something like that.
It's a dead end. When you make it about a person, even if that person were sincere and genuine, it's a dead end.
It has to be about principles.
That's the same problem that we had with the Tea Party, the taxed enough already thing.
It had no firm principles.
It's, oh, you think taxes are too high?
Doesn't everybody? So what are you going to do about it?
I mean, you know, are you going to cut spending?
Are you going to get rid of programs or are you going to play this game that, well, I think there's just wasteful spending here and we need to just cut a little bit of waste, trim a little bit of the fat here, you know, that type of thing.
No, if you don't have principles about what you think the government should actually do, nobody wanted to talk about what the true role of government was and ways that it ought to be limited.
If you don't talk about limiting government, Then you believe in unlimited government.
You believe in totalitarianism.
See, that's another one of these things.
You want to talk about limiting government.
Oh, well, you're some kind of extreme far-right radical if you want to limit government.
No, you are some kind of a totalitarian tyrant wannabe if you don't think that government should be limited.
It has to be limited. Everybody either is a full-on totalitarian, you want government totally involved in everything, or you want limited government somehow.
F111, thank you for the tip.
Excellent interview. The Democrat liberals are the Socialist Communist Party of America.
That's right. I've said before, the Republicans are the Democrats of my youth, and the Democrats are the communists of my youth today.
Bethany N. Man, the state of the country really worries me.
Should be worried. I'm so young and it's scary to think about my future in America with how things are going.
Don't base your life on hope in America or hope in anything in this world.
Base your life on your relationship with God.
And then you will see that you are a stranger and a pilgrim, that this is a small amount of time, and no matter how bad it gets, it's limited.
And it's not just that.
Well, soon this will be over.
God will give you comfort in the darkest days and take you through the toughest times.
So that's what you need.
The communists used to criticize religion and say, that's a crutch.
Well, you know, sometimes you need a crutch.
Sometimes a crutch feels really good.
When the communists come around and break your legs, you're going to need a crutch.
So, you know, it is the crutch that's going to get you through any of this stuff.
And if you use government as a crutch or your conservative beliefs or libertarian beliefs or any of this stuff, if that's your crutch, It's going to be a stick that pierces your hand over time.
I just say that to you.
So don't despair. God is in control.
And this particular time of life is just an opportunity for us to get to know God and to do things that are going to have some eternal significance.
And, you know, even though we were talking about men's ministries, I'd recommend you go back and take a look at the interview that I had with the Promise Keepers guy.
Because much of what he was saying, a lot of it was targeted towards men because men are being, you know, men have a different role to fill than women do.
And they look at things differently.
And they're being attacked.
But it applies equally.
Most of the most important things apply equally to men and to women.
And that was his perspective.
So I suggest you go back and see that interview.
Jason Barker.
She's talking about what I always say.
Divide and conquer.
You make two classes and you pit them against each other.
Absolutely right.
Thank you, Jason.
Syrian girl.
Just order her book.
This should be interesting, to say the least.
I give her great credit for speaking out.
I tried to get an elder friend of mine who escaped Russian revolutionaries to write a book, but she thought her English wasn't good enough.
I wish that she had.
Yeah, you could always find somebody who would put your words into a book.
Everybody needs to tell their story.
Even though it is essentially the same story, it's the weight of all these people and their own personal perspective on this.
Milutin Milankovic, as long as the mainstream media is profitable, it tricks people into thinking that it is what the consensus is.
You feel like you are in the minority.
And you know what she was talking about, there was only one voice about everything.
That was the way the news was when I grew up.
You know, we had three channels that we listened to.
It was even before PBS. And they would come on one after the other, ABC, CBS, and NBC, and Walter Cronkite would even finish by saying, that's the way it is, you know, such and such a day.
And they talked about the same subjects, you know, even though they'd all have their little half-hour news program with lots of commercials on them, selling you cigarettes and things like that.
Then they would all cover the same topics, and they all had the same opinion of those topics.
And what it was, and that's what they want to get back to.
They want to get back to that Operation Mockingbird Press, where there is this monolithic narrative that's out there.
And, you know, who do you want to believe?
Do you want to believe Walter Cronkite?
Do you want to believe Huntley and Brinkley or whatever?
I prefer Huntley and Brinkley, frankly, because I liked Beethoven, and I didn't realize that they were starting out with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony until many years later.
I thought, wow, they just got the best theme song ever.
Liberty King. Government does not have a monopoly on truth.
In fact, government rarely offers the truth.
That's right. They have a starvation of the truth.
Brian Doug McCartney, Brian's boss, married a lady from China a few years ago.
She could not believe how clean the air was here.
Yeah. Still wore masks during COVID-19, though.
Used to wearing them. That's the thing, you know.
The air in Wuhan was so bad.
Many people said, well, maybe there's not anything there except people, respiratory illnesses reacting to that awful air pollution.
If you see pictures of it, it's absolutely unbelievable.
And, you know, when you talk about their total devotion to government, when we adopted my daughter, she had been in the orphanage for most of the five years, and then just a few months before we adopted her, and we were already in the process of adopting her, They put her with a family in China for a couple of months because one hand didn't know what the other hand was doing.
And so when she left that family, the guy that was there gave her a note.
We had it translated and it says, trust your government, do everything the government says.
I mean, it was just, and it's like, really?
But your government and China is saying that everything the American government says is wrong, but do everything the government says.
I think he was giving her life advice for, you know, hey, don't rebel against the government because they're going to make it really difficult for you.
Yeah, let's take a look at what is going on, again, with the climate MacGuffin.
The MacGuffin here.
And we got Bill Gates.
You want to talk about Telling people to live by lies.
Anyone talk about making people jump on board with something that they know as absolute lunacy.
Well, this is a good example of it.
Bill Gates and his deforestation program across North America.
And the whole idea that you're going to cut down trees and then bury them.
You know, we're not going to be allowed to process the wood or anything like that, you know.
And what they're telling people, after everybody's saying, well, you know, trees are so good, they give us shade.
It's cooler under the trees.
We get transpiration.
And as they're drawing moisture out of the air and so forth, not just because of the shade.
And then they absorb all of the CO2. For years, they were paying people to plant trees.
You know, you would give them your carbon indulgence.
You'd pay somebody, and they would have a corporation to go out and plant trees to absorb all this stuff.
And now Bill Gates and others are saying, well, now they've absorbed these things, and when they die, they're going to give the carbon dioxide off.
And so we've got to cut them down and bury them.
And he wants to deforest, deforestation of 70 million acres in North America.
Now, that's just incomprehensible how much that is.
If you think about this, the area of the entire state of Tennessee, all of Tennessee, is 27 million acres.
And it's not all planted in trees.
It's got a lot of trees there, but, you know, there's roads and buildings and all the rest of the stuff.
It's not all trees. But he wants to deforestate 70 million acres, nearly three times the size of the state of Tennessee.
These people are absolute idiots.
Absolute idiots. It's absolute insanity.
But you must not deny this.
This is the struggle session.
To make Bill Gates rich and to put these people in charge of our lives.
And he has invested a lot of money in this company called Kodama Systems.
Kodama, I don't know how they do it.
What emphasis is on which syllable, I don't know.
But anyway, chopping down and burying trees.
They want to do this to 70 million acres.
They just, I guess, chop down all the trees everywhere.
And you can put up solar farms and windmill farms and everything and just make them richer and richer and richer.
The destruction of the forest in order to sell carbon offsets.
So they were selling carbon offsets to plant trees.
Now you're going to pay them to cut the trees down and bury them.
We can't even use them for wood to build anything.
Not going to be allowed.
Kodama Systems, based in the Sierra Nevada foothills town of Sonora, has been operating in stealth mode since it was founded in the summer of 2021, says Exposé News.
And this is actually, they're quoting MIT Technology Review.
Stealth mode, isn't that another way of saying that Kodama has been illegally logging and then burying the evidence?
In December of 2022, this last December, Kodama announced that it had raised $6.6 million in seed funding led by climate technology investors Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
Who owns Breakthrough Energy Ventures?
Well, that was founded by Bill Gates.
And so we keep seeing all these corporations everywhere.
I mean, it's just amazing when you think about These super rich people like Gates, like Musk and others, and how many of these corporations and ventures that they've got and how they've got their finger in everything and consolidating everything.
It was founded by Bill Gates, backed by many of the world's top business leaders.
Breakthrough Energy Ventures, BEV, let's just call it BEV. It has raised more than $2 billion in committed capital to support cutting-edge companies that are leading the world to net zero emissions.
I'm sick of that. Net zero energy.
That's what they're talking about.
Net zero energy.
Net zero trees.
Net zero food.
These people need to be locked up.
Psychopaths. Psychopaths.
Bev is a purpose-built investment firm seeking to invest, launch, and scale global companies that will eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.
The whole thing is a financial scam, but it's also a pattern for tyranny.
Frontier Climate was founded by Stripe Alphabet.com.
Shopify, Meta, McKinsey, and thousands of businesses that use Stripe Climate.
And of course, this is a part of the other company that's there, Congruent Ventures.
So Congruent Ventures is partnering with Bill Gates' company to create this other company called Kodama.
And Congruent Ventures is partnering not just with Bill Gates' company, but it was created with a development grant from Frontier Climate, which was founded by Stripe.
And so Stripe's got this thing called Stripe Climate.
And you might even have some small businesses that are using Stripe Climate to participate in this thing.
So be aware of that.
Frontier aims to act as a middleman between buyers and sellers of carbon removal so that businesses can brag about being green.
When you look at all this stuff, does this seem like the kinds of securitized mortgages and other kinds of financial derivatives that we've seen in these scams in the past, like in 2008,
that type of thing? For the last several years, Stripe has pre-purchased tons of carbon dioxide that startups aim to eventually draw out of the air and permanently sequester in an effort to help build up a carbon removal industry.
This is really bad.
Because carbon dioxide is good.
It's necessary for life.
It's necessary for the plants to grow.
And these madmen out there, in order to get rich, are building the pipelines.
We just had one of them go belly up because people are pushing back on their eminent domain steal of theft of land.
But you've got these industries now that they're going to suck carbon dioxide out of processes or the atmosphere.
Put it in a pipeline, transmit it several states over to some other place where they're going to quote-unquote sequester it by burying it under the ground.
They want to cut trees down and bury them under the ground.
These people are insane.
Insane psychopaths.
My son says a lot of their trumped-up evidence is a good word for trumped-up.
Yeah. They have for climate change is based on moving their thermometers to places away from trees and into hot asphalt cities.
That's right. So this could actually have an impact on the environment.
Not the one they claim to want, but it could have an impact.
That's right. You cut down the trees, you're going to wind up.
They were telling you the truth about the trees.
They're lying to you about climate change.
Being caused by CO2, man-made or otherwise.
But they were telling the truth about trees.
Trees are a good thing to have.
And so they're going to destroy that as well.
So this article from Expose says, in summary, let's keep the trees and get rid of the billionaires.
Yeah, even if this problem were real, which it isn't, even if this was a real MacGuffin, this is an insane idea.
It absolutely is an insane idea.
This whole carbon sequestration and everything.
Climate activists take hammers to a famous painting in the London Museum because these people just want to destroy everything.
They want to destroy humanity.
They want to erase art and everything else.
It's just incredible.
Just incredible. Millions will die due to new oil and gas leases.
Millions! screamed a protester as he attacked this painting.
So, yeah, just stop oil is what these people want to do.
Well, just stop these idiots is what we need to do.
And the key thing is, Where did they come from?
How do we get people like this?
Well, they were trained in schools.
So just stop the schools.
So we need our own movement and stuff.
Instead of just stop oil, we say, just stop schools.
Leave the insanity in the institutions of the universities, right?
They want to leave the oil in the ground?
Well, let's leave the Marxism at the universities.
Let's not put it in to the minds of kids in kindergarten and all the rest of this stuff.
But these people are just as destructive.
Well, not as destructive as Bill Gates.
Bill Gates is even more destructive than these idiots, frankly.
How to turn your electric car into a mobile power plant, writes Bloomberg Green News.
Green News for greener living.
Well, of course, this is all about the green money that these people can make.
But notice how this is being sold as a feature.
How to turn your electric car into a mobile power plant.
Well, you know, you could do that and actually run your...
You're a car as a generator, and there have been a couple models that have put things like that on there.
But what they're talking about is how they can sequester.
You want to talk about sequestering carbon dioxide in the ground?
Well, what they're looking at, how can we sequester the power of the grid into your car?
And how can we bury your mobility?
Because that's what they're going to do.
They're going to have you spend, you know, $10,000, $15,000 more for an electric car than you would for a conventional internal combustion engine, which you already are going to struggle to afford today because of all the government-mandated regulations and all the rest of this stuff.
The cars have gotten so expensive, but then you pay a premium of another $15,000 on average for an electric car so that you can then use that to back up their power grid.
And they don't have to spend the money for all of that as well.
And then if you are lucky, they might actually let you drive your car every once in a while that you charge up.
But they will use your car to pull it out.
But it's being sold by Bloomberg as a feature for you.
It's not a feature for you.
Bi-directional charging is what they call it.
So you can charge your car, but then they will decide if they want to charge their grid off of your car.
And as you're doing that, of course, as you cycle through, batteries only have a life cycle that is related to how many power cycles they go through and how fast you charge them.
And so, you know, you charge your car up during the day or during the night, and then during the day they say, you can't drive your car, we're going to have to pull some power out of it.
Well, you just charge it up and you charge it down and you got to use it.
None whatsoever, but you have used, taken away from the useful life of your battery.
Bidirectional charging promises to transform electric vehicles into a significant source of energy for utilities.
Not for you. The headline says, oh, this is going to be great.
No, this is for the utility companies who are struggling to balance renewable energy production and climate-caused power disruptions, as Bloomberg Green puts it out.
No, they have created the problem, and they want to use your electric vehicle as their solution.
My son says, do they realize EVs consume power, not create it?
Yeah, it's a shell game, isn't it?
They're talking about power storage, not generation.
Is their next article going to be how to generate gas with my internal combustion engine?
That's right. Yeah, it is crazy.
But, you know, speaking of somebody that we used to enjoy watching his car show, Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, because, you know, nobody wants to do a car show anymore, especially not the BBC. He still writes, and he was blasting the BBC for the latest propaganda piece from David Attenborough, and he has the Planet Earth series, and it's now become nothing but climate propaganda.
What a surprise. The latest Planet Earth series is climate change propaganda.
He says, Clarkson wrote in his column in The Sun, he said, the photography is brilliant, spellbinding even, but the words are driving me insane.
And this is always my experience as a child with National Geographic.
Stunning photography and, you know, pictures of plants and animals or whatever.
But it was the animals.
They were always about evolution, evolution, evolution.
It's like, stop with this.
Millions of years ago.
And then it needed to have a longer nose.
So it grew a longer nose and all the rest of the stuff.
And it's like, stop with the nonsense.
Can't you just show me the beautiful pictures of the animals and talk about how special they are?
Well, no, because if you talk about how special they are, Now you're looking at intelligent design, which takes you into creation.
You see, when you go back and you look, this is what I enjoyed.
I hated, I loved the National Geographic photography, but I hated the browbeating of this evolutionary nonsense.
And so when we taught our kids, we found some resources that were excellent.
And what they did, and it was so much better, rather than reducing everything down to a skeleton and trying to do comparative analysis of vertebrae and say, well, this grew into that and so forth, which they don't have any missing links for any of that.
It's all just a just-so story right out of Rudyard Kipling, how the rhinoceros got his skin, that type of thing.
Instead of that, we had biology books.
We talked about the uniqueness of all these different animals.
Take a look at the woodpecker, for example.
He's got feet, and look at the irreducible complexity of the woodpecker.
He's got feet that allow him to hang on there vertically.
And then he beats at a very rapid rate, you know, with his beak against his hard beak against the wood until he drills a hole in it.
And he's got special, you know, shock absorbers there for his brain so he doesn't beat his brain out with a thing.
And then he's got a special tongue, long sticky tongue that he can stick in there and get bugs out of the hole.
Now, he has to have all of those things all at once.
It doesn't work as a woodpecker.
You can't take away one of those things and then the woodpecker doesn't work.
You know, does a mouse, did a mouse evolve into a flying bat?
Well, if he starts getting nubs of wings that don't, if you could imagine a transitional species, those wings would get in his way.
You know, one of the cool things about a mouse is they can get into anything.
Well, those wings would start to get in his way, and he wouldn't be able to use them to fly.
They weren't developed into that yet, if it was happening gradually.
Or you take a look at the giraffe, right?
The giraffe, how does it get that blood all the way up to that head that's up there so high?
Well, they have a huge heart and really pump that stuff up there.
But then it's pumping so hard that when the giraffe puts its head down to drink water, He'd black out if there wasn't something to change that.
And there is at the base of the brain, there's a thing there that absorbs that extra pressure.
I mean, it's an amazing design.
And when you look at biology from that perspective, from the uniqueness of all these different animals, it gets to be very, very interesting.
Unlike the National Geographic specials, which are this repetitive thing.
And that's what Clarkson is talking about now.
They've moved on from evolution to their climate change fantasies.
He said, the words are driving me insane.
He said, now all we ever get, here's this see-through fish with an orange stomach, and its future is threatened by climate change.
And then it's, here's something with pointy teeth, and soon it'll be wiped out by global warming.
We know already, so please, in the future, tell us about the animals, not about the bloody weather, he said.
It was not the first time he's criticized David Attenborough's climate change obsession.
I was very disappointed, by the way, to find out that...
David Attenborough is the brother of the actor.
What's his first name?
But the actor was in The Great Escape, played Roger, who was the quiet guy who led it all.
He's also in Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen, and he played a very different character who was not this cool guy who was in charge, but kind of a subordinate character.
He's had a wide variety of roles, and I always enjoyed him.
He was such a good actor. He plays such radically different roles in many of my favorite movies, like The Great Escape, like Sand Pebbles.
His brother, David Attenborough, is just this dry, humorless scold who has nothing whatsoever to contribute.
He's not doing the photography that is so wonderful and all this stuff, right?
He's producing the nonsense that's there.
And so he also said in the past, Clarkson has said, Today, Sir Attenborough is too old to appear in films.
I'm afraid he doesn't even write the script anymore.
He just reads out the words have been written by a team of vegan communists who have only one thing on their minds, climate change.
Now, I mean, he may have been using the term communist as a joke, but was, you know, we just saw.
That's exactly what they are.
This is a communist tactic.
Franklin School and all the rest of these people taking over the entertainment industry.
I've been watching Frozen Planet 2, he said, and it's a joke.
Because we learn nothing at all.
We see some dramatic footage of a polar bear, and before we're told anything at all, we're warned that because of human activity and capitalism and Donald Trump, the poor bear's habitat is disappearing.
He said, when I first began to notice this stuck record commentary, I decided to get my own back.
Every time they mentioned global warming, I turned my central heating up a notch.
But that's too expensive, really, he said.
So I've turned it into a drinking game.
Every time climate change crops up, I have a beer.
And it's the only way to make this twaddle tolerable.
Yeah, exactly.
So, when we come back, we're going to have some good news about the collapse of the Green Grifters.
Some are comments here.
Jim Z7 says, Artificial everything is the goal with a small population is the plan.
Dead people and computers don't need trees.
And, of course, they're easier to control, as we said.
These depopulationists, the climate people, it's on a global scale what Stalin and Mao did, right?
I want to have a global government.
Well, what's the first thing we've got to do?
Well, we've got to kill a lot of people, so it'll be easier to control them.
And then at the same time, we can show them who's boss.
And that's what this zero energy, zero food, zero population stuff is all really about.
Atomic Dog, they really do think we are that stupid.
Yeah, they think we don't know, but we do.
Says Oliver Anthony, yeah.
If they can convince people that trees are bad, then we're really doomed.
A tree is a magical machine that takes in CO2 and spits out O2 without electricity.
That's right. Just like, you know, the chickens.
Tyson wants people to eat bugs.
Oh, they've been growing chickens and doing eggs and all this other kind of stuff.
And as my son pointed out, you know, chicken is a great means to produce protein.
You don't need the bugs to do that.
The chickens can already do that.
And you don't need Tyson to turn bugs into.
We'll be right back.
Thank you. Liberty.
It's your move.
And now, The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing.
Check out the Jazz Channel at APSRadio.com and the APS Radio app and leave the stress behind.
Self-driving cars.
The future doesn't need us.
The future doesn't even like us.
With journalists assembled and offering themselves as human pylons, a self-driving Volvo went full-on Christine.
Yeah! Accelerating from a distance, it plowed into the journalist who trusted.
Volvo first said they hadn't purchased the pedestrian avoidance option.
That's an option?
Did they go for the cheaper vehicular manslaughter option?
Then Volvo changed their story and said it was the fault of the owner who failed to activate safety mode.
As we look at the people who fail to move, I ask, would you put your life in the hands of a self-driving car?
You will if you ride in one.
Of course, no accident will ever be the fault of the self-driving car.
Right. See the video at Infowars.com.
I'm David Knight. Yeah, that was ten years ago.
And I predicted the future, didn't I? Because we just had a trial, first one of Tesla, a vehicular manslaughter with their self-driving car, and they were found not guilty.
I said, no, EV is going to be found guilty of manslaughter.
They're just going to let it go. Look the other way, because that's part of their agenda.
That story 10 years ago, it was really funny.
Again, they had...
That was serious.
They didn't have the pedestrian avoidance module in there.
Just like when that self-driving Uber ran over and killed the homeless woman who was jaywalking across the street.
They said, well, first, it's like, well, you see, you know, you look at the camera from inside the car looking out.
The dash cam. And you can see it was totally dark, and she's just jaywalking across there.
Of course, you couldn't stop that.
And then you saw the camera that was inside the car showing the human who was there supposedly monitoring this thing.
And they were, you know, bored to death and playing with their phone.
Didn't see anything happening, but wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.
But the people who were there said, but wait a minute.
You know, it's not using the headlights to determine the stuff.
It's supposed to have LiDAR in it.
It's supposed to be able to pick that up, and it should have hit the emergency braking.
And they came back and said, well, we turned off the emergency braking because it was so erratic.
It was constantly braking, and so we just turned it off.
And so then it killed somebody.
But, of course, no problem with that.
No problem with the Tesla thing.
We now have a 100% electric Google bus.
Lost power and smashed into multiple cars on San Francisco Street.
See, San Francisco has put themselves at the mercy of Of Google, of GM, of every one of these self-driving car companies that are there.
GM's forced to, you know, pull back from their cruise thing after a woman was clipped by a car, is now on the ground, and the cruise car runs over her and parks on top of her, you know. That was kind of a bad PR move.
So they had to pull that back.
Now you've got a Google bus, 100% electric, left a trail of damaged cars and concerns in its wake on Castro Street in San Francisco Monday after reportedly losing power and rolling down a hill out of control.
Because, you know, they've got some significant hills in San Francisco.
One person was reportedly hospitalized with injuries sustained in the accident.
Yeah, and I kind of imagine this is, you remember the chase scene in Bullet with Steve McQueen?
And they're going to the streets of San Francisco, kind of the first time you saw one of these chase scenes using that.
And, you know, going airborne as it hits the different ones.
Well, that's what this thing did.
The electric Google commuter bus lost power barreling into several parked cars near the intersection.
The eyewitnesses took to social media to document the aftermath of the incident.
Saw at least four vehicles sustaining major damage.
About 8.45 in the morning it happened.
Reportedly lost power while navigating the steep incline, causing it to roll backward and collide with cars.
So maybe they were drawing some of the power out because they didn't have sufficient storage of the grid or whatever.
As Jason Barker says, so how much diesel fuel does it take to dig a hole and bury a tree?
Well, we'll do it with electric ones, Jason, and we'll draw down the power from your electric car to do that.
You pay for the power, then you sell it back at a loss if you're paid at all.
Forced EVs are a way to get the public to pay for their power storage problems.
And those are problems waiting to happen.
As I point out, the Battery Energy Storage System, BESS, B-E-S-S, We've already had major fires of that in Australia, California, New York, other places where they have put these things in.
Massive battery storage facilities created by Tesla.
One of them goes bad.
You get thermal runaway, and the bigger the battery cluster, the bigger the problem that's there.
The fact that they're not subsidizing a lithium-ion battery recycling company shows that they know that it's all BS. They subsidize the making of the batteries that will not be recycled, and they don't pay companies that have any kind of a solution.
That's right. And we can't wait for the solution.
We've got to do it right now, because we're all going to die in just a short period of time, as they've been telling me all my life, essentially, since 1970.
GM has now halted the production of their driverless cruise vans.
So there's some good news in that.
As a matter of fact, even beyond that, we're seeing these people folding and dying.
Of course, even when you look at that, I don't know if it's going to make a difference.
We look at the injections, for example.
People were dropping dead with these things.
It didn't matter. It doesn't matter how many times you've got scientists and epidemiologists pointing out how dangerous and ineffective this stuff is.
But you do see things like this.
Siemens energy stock has collapsed.
As there's a bit of a green panic on Wall Street.
The industry is melting down.
Siemens making wind farms.
And you've got a FreedomWorks economist saying that electric vehicles are going to be the auto market's next big flop.
The handwriting is on the wall, and these people are losing money left and right.
You know, how many... How long can you go losing so much money on all this stuff and not have to suffer any consequences for it?
Evidently, they're able to...
They've got so much money that they can suspend reality like the Federal Reserve System or Wall Street even.
Cybertruck. Cybertruck.
Musk's Cybertruck breaks down so badly that it has to be dragged out of public sight.
And this is not the first time this has happened.
If Tesla CEO Elon Musk is to be believed, and we can give you a thousand reasons as to why that's a bad idea, says Futurism.com, the company is getting ready to start delivering its long-awaited Cybertruck in a matter of just weeks.
But from what we've seen lately, there's a good chance the misshapen truck isn't quite ready for mass production.
Most recently, a user on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, and they said, think about the fact that there is no Cybertruck owner.
That has been sold. So how is there a Cybertruck owner's forum?
People have truly bought into the vaporware, haven't they?
They haven't shipped a single one.
But the Cybertruck Owners Club Forum, this is a fantasy club, described an encounter with a Cybertruck that had to be towed away from a supercharger station in Mojave, California, on a flatbed tow truck because it simply wouldn't charge.
So, after that happens...
He has Joe Rogan, he goes on the Joe Rogan show, and he and Joe Rogan, he has Joe Rogan get a bow and arrow and shoot arrows at his Cybertruck.
So you can see that this is something that you want to have at the end of the world as we know it, right?
When everybody's reduced to having bows and arrows, you'll be safe inside your Cybertruck.
Just don't throw any rocks at it because the windows break when you do that.
Pictures show the truck first being hoisted onto a rolling platform and then lifted onto the back of the flatbed, seemingly unable to move at all on its own.
It's far from the first broken-down Cybertruck we've come across from a video of a stranded truck flashing its hazard lights on the side of a California highway earlier in the month.
So it still had enough power for the hazard lights?
To an abandoned one that was left on the side of an interstate back in August.
What it reminds me of is when...
It reminds me of when he wanted to...
When Porsche came out with their performance electric vehicle and they're driving around the Nürburgring in Germany.
Very well known place for car companies to take their cars to really let a mare out and show how fast they can go.
Challenging, long, challenging course for people to drive.
Well, he sent his Plaid version of one of his Tesla vehicles over there.
It was a souped-up version.
And since, you know, there's plug-in compatibilities with these types of things, there wasn't any way for him to charge it with the stuff that was there.
So he also sent over...
A very noisy, very smelly diesel generator that, you know, didn't have any pollution control on it.
He set it up there at the Nürburgring and everybody, the neighbors were complaining.
It said it's so smelly and smoky and noisy to charge his electric vehicle.
And then even with all of that, there was, it broke down on the Nürburgring.
And they made sure, Porsche made sure, that they had pictures of them lapping it, going past it over and over again, as it was broken down on the side.
But they won their court battle in the U.S. over the alleged autopilot fatalities, and also they won one in China as well.
Tesla won its court battle over a fatal autopilot crash that killed a California driver four years ago.
Took a while for it.
And passengers who were in the car at the time We're suing for $400 million for the death of the driver.
It took the jury four days to deliberate on this.
The month-long Riverside trial centered on Micah Lee, whose 2019 Model 3 crashed into a tree in Southern California.
While plaintiffs claimed that an autopilot defect caused the crash, Tesla argued that Lee had been drinking and And offered no proof that the autopilot was engaged.
And so they blamed it on human error.
And they presented a video of a passenger saying that both she and Lee had consumed alcohol at downtown Disney in Anaheim before the crash.
And so he was able to beat the rep.
But again, I still stand by my prediction of 10 years ago that you will never see any of these cars convicted of manslaughter.
We'll be right back. Analyzing

Well, yeah, Reverend Bill1960 says, My daughter has a Jeep loaner with lane control.
There were people walking alongside the road, and the car impeded her from changing lanes to stay away from them.
I hate that stuff.
It was on a truck.
We rented a moving truck when we moved out here a year and a half ago.
And... It was, when I was driving it, it was one of the most annoying things.
The first time it happened, it's like, what's going on?
Because it really started shaking the wheel and doing some other things.
It didn't actually take control, but it shook the wheel violently.
And it would do that whenever it thought that I was getting too close to the side line on the shoulder.
And I would do that when there was a little bit more concrete.
I would get right up to the line or on the line because if somebody was coming, I felt like it was really wide.
And it was wide. It was very wide.
Also, my perception, because I'm used to driving a little car that's just a couple of inches off the ground, I was way up there, you know.
So it made me feel like the thing was really wide and hanging over.
So I'd go to move over, and when I'd do that, it'd start shaking the wheel.
I hated that with a passion.
We got AtomicDog says, I haven't been able to watch nature docu-shows for the last 20 years.
Way too political and preachy.
Yeah. Guard says, uh, turn down the volume or just head outside and go on a hike.
That's the key thing. Yeah.
Just watch it without any, any talking or get into the real stuff.
Brian and Deb McCartney, the tree huggers are going to go crazy or will they?
Maybe they're too dumbed down.
I don't know. Maybe, maybe the tree huggers will have to become tree diggers.
You know, uh, I really dig trees.
Well, you have to do that literally if you want to see them.
I'm going to have to log some time in nature instead of on the computer.
Jason Barker. Two weeks ago, a wheel fell off a truck ahead of me.
Ooh, 18. That's really dangerous.
An 18-wheeler and myself both got around it.
My wife's second cousin behind us had a minor hit with it.
Self-driving tech could not have done as well.
There were cars behind us, and slamming on the brakes would have caused a major pileup.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
Brian, Deb McCartney, driverless, meatless, treeless, humanless planet?
No thanks. That's what these people want to do.
Let's talk a little bit about what is happening with war, because as one listener pointed out yesterday or the day before, that there is a resolution to try to push us along this line of more war with Iran as well.
Babylon B., Headline, here's a list of all the pro-Palestinian protesters who are being prosecuted for attempting to storm the White House.
Remember? They went around the White House and almost like an insurrection.
Well, nobody. Nobody. As a matter of fact, as I showed yesterday, Biden, the people who really did a real insurrection and got pushing and shoving legislators and state police and everything here in Tennessee, he welcomed them in.
And, you know, brought them to the White House.
Shook their hands. Great. In the UK, we have the Metropolitan Police investigating a senior police advisor who said that supporting Israel should be a hate crime.
You see? Once we go to hate crimes, it cuts both ways.
We've had DeSantis say, well, if you criticize Israel in Florida...
That's going to be a felony.
It's going to be a hate crime. They can't do that.
And then in the UK, because people want to impose their, you know, monolithic, one-way thing, if you do the opposite, if you support Israel, that should be a hate crime.
So you criticize Israel in Florida, that's a hate crime.
If you support Israel in London, that's a hate crime.
I think the key is we've got to stop with a hate crime, don't you think?
And as I began the program, talking about how abortion was a big winner yesterday in the elections in several states, you have set up as a protest that you had in Skokie, Illinois, which is heavily Jewish.
And I remember, you know, again, going back 30 years or so, I used to be upset with the ACLU because they would defend the Nazis coming in and holding a parade in Skokie, Illinois.
And they did that just because they wanted to tweak the We're good to go.
Or as independents or as a third party.
Even after we go through all the extra hoops and get on the ballot, you won't do anything to make sure that we get free speech in a debate forum or any of the other stuff.
And, of course, they didn't support the Second Amendment and these other things.
But, you know, when we looked at that, so I remember Skokie, Illinois, and you had a protest of...
There was a display that was set up there in Skokie, Illinois, by the Jewish community, and they had a bunch of baby buggies.
And they were empty baby buggies, and they put pictures of babies that were missing, kidnapped or killed by Hamas.
30 of them. There's the picture there.
And strollers, things like that.
And so the anti-Israeli protesters came up and started shouting, kill the babies.
And the reason I mention this, again, it's just the back and forth hate with all this stuff.
Haters are going to hate. But the reason I mention this is because that's really, you know, both sides are focused on babies.
And yet we can't get the Republicans to focus on what's going on with the babies and abortion.
They won't make the case.
Another example, okay?
So as they're there saying, kill the babies, kill the babies.
The pro-Palestinian protesters mocking the people who put pictures up of missing or killed babies.
Then in Israel, you have a group of doctors who actually said, you know, kill the babies and bomb the hospitals because Hamas is in there.
Go ahead and take out the hospitals.
And The Palestinian side, as they're chanting, kill the babies, in Skokie, Illinois, they're saying, well, there's been about 4,000 at least kids who have died in Gaza, because they say that there's been 9,770 people killed, and of course, about half of the population there are children.
So, to say that 40% of them are children is a reasonable thing.
He said 4,008 children killed in Gaza as the death toll continues to increase.
Both sides use babies because they understand how visceral that is.
And yet, in America, we have no regard whatsoever for the lives of babies.
A U.S. official says Israel has not come close to destroying the Hamas leadership, and we have an ongoing attack with drone strikes of U.S. forces that are in the Middle East in places like Syria.
And what are we doing in Syria?
Well, don't ask, right?
And they won't tell you. So you've got people like Mike McCaul, I'm putting out resolution 559 saying we will use all means whatsoever to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon because they want to use any excuse whatsoever to go to war with Iran.
Here is Mike McCall. Iran is a destabilizing force in the region that poses a threat to our allies and to our national security interests.
That is why I introduced this resolution with a bipartisan group of co-sponsors to make a clear, simple, and vital statement that it is the official policy of the United States that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable.
And that we will use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
This resolution is short and to the point.
There's no hedging or equivocation.
Well, and again, this has been the goal all along, to have a wider Mideastern war.
General McGuffin sent this to me yesterday.
I appreciate him doing that.
I meant to get this up yesterday.
This is, he took this screenshot of live air traffic over Israel, and look at how many, because he can zoom in on this, on one of these planes that it shows there on this website, shows all the different planes.
He can zoom in, and it shows what that is.
And he goes in one after the other and sees that, oh, well, this is a C-130 Hercules there, and so forth.
It'll tell you what kind of plane it is.
He said, you look at this and you see we've got planes all over the place right now that are happening there.
And, of course, the U.S. targets in Iraq and Syria were attacked at least ten times since Thursday with one-way drones and rockets.
Again, the question is, what are we doing in Syria, for example?
I know why we're still in Iraq.
We shouldn't still be in Iraq.
But we shouldn't have been there in the first place.
But what are we doing in Syria?
Well, we're there to steal the oil, as Donald Trump pointed out.
At least 45 U.S. service members may have been injured in these Iran-linked attacks.
And so the bottom line to all this is we've got to go to war with Iran.
And that is what this is about.
This is the bigger context of this.
Get upset about the death of innocent civilians.
Get upset about the deaths of babies.
But don't buy into this war so that we kill even more of them.
That's the key thing.
And understand that these people who have been at war with us, who have poisoned us, that's why I harped on this from the very beginning.
I said, look at Netanyahu.
Poisoned his own people.
Poisoned more of his people than Joseph Mingala did, if you will.
Experimented on him like lab rats, like Mingala.
Well, you're going to follow this angel of death into a war that, again, is to his political advantage.
It's to the political advantage of Biden to have a war.
It's the political advantage of every incumbent to have a war.
And they always lie to us about it.
And these are the people who, how in the world can anybody believe that any of these current leaders don't despise us and want to kill us after what's happened the last three years?
Why would anybody? Follow any of them into a war.
Well, it's because they see pictures of babies that have died.
And yet we don't care about killing our own children.
We demand that as a right.
And we'll vote for people who locked us up and stole everything from us so that we can keep that going.
It's just absolutely amazing to me.
Eight factions at war with Israel and Gaza...
And yet, nothing is being done to these Hamas people who are hanging out in Qatar, right?
It looks like they really don't want to get the guys who are leading it.
Well, that's it for today's program.
Thank you. Another tip, Wayne Wonder.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
And thank you all for the support that you've given us.
And have a good day.
