	Transcription by CastingWords You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 22nd of November, year of our Lord 2023.
	three.
	Well, today we're going to begin with some serious news.
	I find it interesting that now, as people are getting very old, it's been 60 years since the assassination of JFK, and so people are starting to talk about this, And tell what they really saw.
	We've now got some doctors who are coming out and talking about this.
	And so we're going to look at that.
	We're going to look at lawsuits are beginning for troops who have been used by our government and abused and kicked out.
	Also, it's such a sad story about one of the troops in Afghanistan.
	He was told and ordered to leave his gear behind.
	And when he did, now as he's leaving the army, they're going to charge him for the gear that was left behind, even though he was ordered to do so.
	So stay with us. We'll be right back.
	We're going to begin with news. We've got some fun stuff today, too, as well.
	So stay with us. We're going to be talking about some fun stuff.
	We'll be talking about Thanksgiving.
	We've actually got a Black Friday sale.
	I'm going to push some merchandise on you today.
	Let's begin with a letter, a serious letter from listener John.
	And it was very well written.
	And I want to read the entire thing to you.
	It's very good. He says, My focus, my energy on is local politics, and I've been watching national politics since 2014.
	Only after I was affected at the ground level by the COVID lockdowns did I really dig in my heels locally.
	COVID policy then gave way to climate hysteria, as you predicted, and I was still angry enough to start digesting the volumes of planning documents put out by my regional planners.
	Added to the existing federal transportation budget were $450 billion in funds from the IRA and IIJA earmarked for local planners to implement the UN Climate Goals.
	He's also read Rosa Corey's book, Rosa's No Longer With Us, Behind the Green Mask.
	He said it provided a template for their Marxist maneuvering.
	As a matter of fact, don't just interject here.
	Rosa Corey was a left-wing Democrat lesbian who said, I was awakened by this planning stuff.
	She said, I was an environmentalist, but then when I went to these meetings, I realized what they were trying to do was to enslave us.
	And she wrote that book, Behind the Green Mask.
	I've had the honor of interviewing her a couple of times.
	Like I said, she has passed away recently.
	Excellent book. Excellent book.
	Anyway, this helped me identify the players and the markers to strategize a fight and recruit concerned allies to join the crusade for our liberty.
	Since then, I've gone on to inform local residents and elected officials alike to the dangers of these extreme climate policies.
	He realized that the fight is at the local level.
	He educated himself about the globalist plans.
	And now he's going back to the local level.
	He says, As a laborer with no formal education outside of high school, compelling the public on matters like this was a difficult and delicate feat.
	Ironically, I believe my obvious discomfort in public speaking was a thing that earned me the benefit of the doubt.
	See, that's the thing.
	He knows what he's talking about.
	And he doesn't obfuscate it with a bunch of, you know, multi-syllabic words.
	And if he had been educated in college, he would have thought he already knew everything for the most part.
	And so, you know, this actually works to his advantage.
	But look, this is the key thing.
	You know, the subject is in need of prayer.
	And so, and he just sent this out.
	He didn't put the date of this meeting that's coming up that he wants us to pray about.
	But here's the thing, you know, we should understand.
	As Christians, we look at, and this is something that has been a real personal thing for me too.
	I was not comfortable getting in front of the camera either.
	I'm still not comfortable speaking in person to people.
	And a large crowd.
	I've done that a couple of times, thousands of people.
	But, you know, I remembered the story where God visits Moses and tells him, this is what you're going to do.
	And he says, I can't do that.
	I'm not a good speaker.
	And, you know, he refuses.
	And so then God says, all right, I'll have Aaron do it for you.
	You don't want to be that guy.
	You need to understand that God is going to equip you to do what he calls you to do.
	And that's what he has found out.
	That what he might have had in terms of formal education actually helped his credibility with people.
	And he knew what he was talking about.
	He may not have had a formal education, but he was more educated on what was going on than 99% or 100% of the people that he was talking to.
	And the key thing is that he had something important to tell them.
	That's the key thing. You've got to have something important to tell people.
	Or just keep quiet.
	So anyway, so he says, since my early days trying to find my footing, I've grown as a speaker and as a man.
	He said, I have challenged the powers that be on their terms and in their arena and have successfully won me the hearts and minds of those in attendance.
	And you're never going to get everybody convinced.
	And you're always going to have people get angry and continue to disagree with you.
	But there will be people who will hear.
	And that's what this is about.
	So he says, this brings me to my prayer request.
	I've been asked by my local officials to serve in their absence at an upcoming regional climate change meeting.
	This meeting will be attended by mayors, council people, commissioners from my five-county area.
	I will be the lone voice in opposition of this death sentence against some of the most powerful individuals in my world.
	One of the men in attendance literally signs my paycheck.
	As a provider for my young family, I'm risking my livelihood for this matter, just as I did in my refusal to get the jab.
	I'm doing this because I believe in the liberties bestowed upon us by our Creator.
	Because like you always say, this battle isn't won by fighting or screeching.
	It's won by rational, compelling conversations that resonate within the hearts and the minds of the uncertain, the confused, and the ill-informed.
	More than ever, I need the prayers of my fellow man to give me the gift of clarity, honesty, compassion, and strength to help me fulfill the mission God has sent me on.
	Well, there you go. And that's John, if you want to pray for him.
	I pray that God will give him all that.
	And we can see that God has already equipped him with a great deal of that already.
	And we know that even though he may be the lone voice in opposition in this group of people, there may be people who know In this.
	That this is fraud.
	And they're afraid to speak up.
	Because they think they're the only ones.
	And once they see somebody else who is there...
	Who has the courage to speak up and to point out that the emperor has no clothes, but the emperor is trying to put chains on our feet and hands.
	They might speak up as well.
	So pray for John. I don't know when this meeting is coming up, but God has already done a great deal to work in his life to get him to tackle this assignment.
	As I said at the beginning of the show, people are getting at the end of their life and they want to come clean about this JFK assassination thing.
	We see this happening more frequently as well with 9-11.
	I played for you the other day a fire chief, a former fire chief in New York, who says, yeah, this just was not possible.
	He's retired and now he's speaking out.
	And that's the key. It's important for people to speak out, but we need to understand that so often, I talk to law enforcement against prohibition people, people from that organization.
	It's called LEAP, L-E-A-P. And it's a lot of judges and police officers and DEA agents and all these other people who are now speaking out against the failed war of drugs on Americans everywhere.
	But the key operative here is that they're almost all retired.
	Because they know that it'll cost them their job.
	And most of them are going to keep quiet about it until they retire.
	But I'm glad that they're speaking out.
	Better late than never. And so now we have doctors who are speaking out.
	And just as John is looking at this and wondering if he's going to be the only one, it wasn't just a couple of months ago.
	I think it was back in September.
	It's here in the article. We'll get to it here in a second.
	I think it's back in September that you had the Secret Service agent that was in the car speaking out about this.
	He says, I don't believe this.
	And talking about the bullet that he found and that type of thing.
	So, you know, for 60 years, no speaking about that.
	And then... He spoke about it, and now within a couple of months, you've got a bunch of doctors who are speaking out.
	And that's the way this thing is going to roll out.
	Once somebody stands up, it's kind of like the end of Spartacus, right?
	Who is Spartacus?
	Which one of you is Spartacus?
	Show us Spartacus and we'll let the rest of you live.
	And one guy stands up who's not Spartacus and says, I am Spartacus, and another, and another, and another.
	That's the way we take this down.
	You have to not be afraid of them.
	So he said on the article, several doctors were in the emergency room when former President JFK was assassinated in 1963, 60 years ago.
	These guys are in their 80s at least.
	Late 80s probably.
	Raised serious doubts about the official narrative that says a lone gunman was responsible according to a new documentary.
	Now, these were interviews that were filmed 10 years ago on the 50th anniversary, back in 2013.
	Coming up on the 23rd, so it's coming up tomorrow on Thanksgiving Day.
	And I remember when it happened.
	I was only 8 years old, and the...
	I remember it was all anybody talked about.
	Thanksgiving, that, and I was very young, and I just remember the images.
	I don't remember the sequence of the time, but I think the murder of Oswald happened about that time as well, the next day or something.
	I don't know how that fell with Thanksgiving, but I know that all the adults were talking about it.
	And I know that none of them believed it, that it was a lone gunman.
	And of course, the assassination of Oswald sealed it for them.
	But anyway, going back to this, the Federal Warren Commission established that two shots fired by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, located on the sixth floor of the Texas School Depository, struck Kennedy from behind and As he was traveling in a motorcade in Dallas, one of the bullets entered his upper back, exited near his larynx, while the second bullet entered the right side of his head and exited via his forehead.
	Former president was breathing when he entered Parkland Hospital before he was pronounced dead a half hour later.
	However, what seven doctors said in recent footage disputes the commission's claims about the event.
	Jacqueline Leweth, executive of pronouncing her name is L-U-E-T-H, Executive producer of JFK, What the Doctors Saw, interviewed the seven Parkland doctors for her documentary.
	She wrote for CBS News last week that the doctors' recollections were precise and clear, as if the intervening decades had melted away.
	Well, that's not the type of thing that you forget.
	You know, you may be kind of jaded in the emergency room with stuff that's coming in, but when it's the President of the United States coming in, you better believe they're going to remember every detail of that thing.
	And, you know, it is...
	Anyway, each of them reacted strongly when the autopsy pictures were projected on a screen, she said.
	They didn't agree with everything, but it became obvious that the way the President looked at Parkland did not match the autopsy photos taken at Bethesda.
	Even before the official autopsy began.
	She added that the Parkland doctors, quote, had no agenda other than trying to save the president's life.
	But she stipulated that those who witnessed the wound to the president's neck believed that it was an entrance wound, which would dispute the Warren Commission's findings.
	Several of them saw a gaping hole in the back of JFK's head.
	And, of course, we know how this operates, right?
	We have a... When you shoot something, the entrance wound is going to be small.
	The exit wound is going to be big.
	And so it entered from the front into his neck and then blew out the back of his head.
	In one of the clips from the documentary, several of the doctors recalled what was said by Dr.
	Malcolm Perry, the surgeon who attended to President Kennedy.
	And he also attended Oswald.
	So at the press conference, Dr.
	Perry, in describing the throat wound here, said that he thought it looked like an entrance wound, said Dr.
	Robert McClellan in the video of the documentary that was released this month.
	So we were thinking there were two wounds.
	There had to be an entrance wound and an exit wound, and that was the only way that we could put it together.
	And so, I thought it was an entrance wound, said Dr.
	Ronald Jones, another Parkland doctor.
	But later, Dr.
	McClellan recalled that he noticed something unusual after the press conference with Dr.
	Perry about the JFK assassination.
	He said, when Dr.
	Perry left the room, someone came up to him, who Dr.
	Perry thought maybe was a secret service man, and he told Dr.
	Perry, you must never, ever say that was an entrance wound again if you know what's good for you.
	Dr. McClellan, who died at age 89 in 2019, said he believed that, quote, in all probability, there was a conspiracy.
	In other words, there was more than one shooter.
	And, of course, the CIA, the FBI, coined the term conspiracy theory.
	And they've been using it as a pejorative against anybody that disagrees with a government narrative.
	Because, you see, the government, the FBI... It has always been a criminal conspiracy against the American people.
	Let me say that again. The FBI is a criminal conspiracy against the American people.
	You can see it over and over again.
	Whether you're talking about the JFK assassination or Flight 800, they confiscate evidence, they hide it.
	Look at what they're doing now with January the 6th.
	For the longest time, conservatives have cheered the FBI. And I've talked to him.
	I think the guy was a very honest FBI agent who said, I just, you know, this whole thing is just after 9-11, the agency changed.
	Well, that is true. They got a lot worse, didn't they?
	But they've always been bad.
	Look at how they were...
	It was the private Stasi army of J. Edgar Hoover, one of the most corrupt people in the history of American government.
	His name is still on the building.
	Of course, they're going to spend billions, tens of billions, to move them somewhere else, because they've got to get a bigger building.
	Like all these bureaucracies, it continues to expand.
	And one of the things is that it has expanded...
	From focusing on the left and on communists, it is now flipped.
	It's now pushing a communist agenda on us.
	The FBI is. And conservatives just can't get their head around that.
	They can't get their head around this communist agenda of DEI, diversity, equity, inclusivity, the struggle sessions that are being put on us.
	As Sheevan Fleet said in her book, Mal's America, you understand, you need to understand, that the FBI is a criminal organization, and there is no constitutional authority for them to even exist, but they've become a weaponized criminal organization, and the conservatives in Congress keep funding it.
	The conservatives at the grassroots level keep thinking this is some kind of new abnormality, whereas it's just that they've changed sides.
	They've always operated this way.
	They operated this way against the enemies of conservatives, against the Marxists, but now they have become Marxists.
	The Marxists have marched through the institutions.
	They've taken over the FBI. And this organization, which was always lawless and unconstitutional, but the conservatives didn't care as long as it was coming after the commies.
	And now it's coming after the conservatives because it's become commie.
	And so this whole idea of, you know, the label of conspiracy theorist, I wear that with pride.
	As I wear the pejorative term anti-vaxxer with pride.
	I confess to being both of those.
	I proudly confess to being both of those.
	And let me add, I'm anti-FBI and anti-government and anti-CIA as well.
	So, you know, do something with it, ADL, Southern Poverty Law Center.
	You've already done it.
	Anyway, if Mr.
	Oswald was in the sixth floor depository, how could he have been shot from the front then?
	And so there was more than one assailant figured out the doctor.
	Another doctor, Joe Goldstrick, who was a med student at the time of the assassination, said, how could a gunshot from the rear peel the scalp from the front back?
	And then LBJ created the Warren Commission, because what they do is they have these hearings and these commissions in order to cover up their lives.
	And so they don't actually do anything.
	They get publicity, they cover up the lines.
	We've had commission after commission.
	They ever do anything? No.
	There's a big commission on COVID right now that's going on in the UK. It's there to cover up what the government did to people during that lying pandemic.
	The revelations come as a former U.S. Secret Service agent went public for the first time in 60 years and appeared to refute the magic bullet theory.
	Paul Landis, who is now 88 years old, former agent, was only a few feet away from President Kennedy when he was shot and killed.
	He had been assigned to protect Jackie Kennedy.
	In an interview with the New York Times published September the 9th, that's it, September the 9th.
	So here we are, you know, a couple months later, this documentary is coming out.
	But a lot of these people went on record about a decade ago.
	Mr. Landis recalled hearing multiple gunshots at Dealey Plaza as he went behind President Kennedy's limousine, seeing the president moving forward after being shot in the head.
	After the assassination, Secret Service agent Mr.
	Landis recalled picking up what he called a near-perfect condition bullet from the backseat of President Kennedy's limousine near where the president had been sitting.
	The former agent then transported the bullet to the hospital where Kennedy was taken and put on a stretcher to be examined.
	He believed that somebody might pocket the bullet, which he did not describe in detail, as a keepsake.
	He suggested that the reason investigators suspected that a magic bullet struck the former president is because the bullet that Mr. Landis discovered was later found on a stretcher belonging to President Kennedy.
	It wasn't until the New York Times interview that Mr. Landis Landis confirmed that it was he who found the bullet and placed it there.
	And it wasn't until 2014 that he realized that the location of the bullet's recovery that was cited by him was different than what was mentioned in the Warren Commission.
	Now, this is, again, why the time gap there from 63 to 2014?
	51 years. As he said, you know, they don't cover it in this article, but at the time, you know, two months ago, he was saying, I just couldn't deal with it.
	As a matter of fact, he left the Secret Service because he couldn't deal with it.
	He couldn't. He just, you know, had PTSD from he kept waking up and seeing the horror there, you know, feeling the failure and all the rest of this stuff.
	So he had to get out. And he didn't want to see anything at all about JFK. And so it wasn't like for another 50 years before he even looked at it again.
	And then when he did, it was like, wait a minute, that's wrong.
	That's one of the reasons why you don't have a statute of limitations on pedophiles.
	People go through horrible experiences, they can't really cope with it at first.
	And so he has been, you know, warned as well.
	That same year, former Secret Service colleague Clint Hill warned him that he shouldn't speak out about what he saw that day.
	And if he did, there might be many ramifications, quote-unquote, for Mr.
	Landis. He recalled Mr.
	Hill saying, you know, Clint Hill has become something of a hero to the official narrative.
	But, look, it's what we all know.
	It's just that we're now seeing the documents come out.
	The same thing you see with the pandemic and the vaccine and all the rest of this.
	We knew this stuff all along. You can put the pieces together and you can say, well, I don't know who it was that shot him from the front.
	I don't even know if Oswald shot him from the back.
	I think one of the best summaries of the absurdity of it was in Full Metal Jacket.
	I've played that for you before.
	We have Arlie Ermey in that Kubrick film, and he talks about Marines, a former Marine who was shooting people from the Texas Tower in Austin, and then he talks about Lee Harvey Oswald, and he goes, by the time you guys are finished with this class, you're going to be able to hit a small moving target this distance with a bolt-action single-shot rifle and do it, you know, two or three times or whatever.
	And so it's like, yeah, that's really not likely, is it?
	So that was Kubrick's back doorway pointing out the absurdity of this.
	But of course, when we talk about the magic bullet, it was a young political assistant, Arlen Spector, Uh, who came up with that theory and pushed it to the Warren Commission about this bullet that kept changing directions and, you know, hitting, uh, Conley and hitting Kennedy and doing all this, you know, uh, so, and it was absolute total nonsense.
	That's why people laughed at it, called it the magic bullet theory.
	But, uh, Arlen Spector was richly rewarded for that.
	He had, um, you know, he was Senator for life after that up in Pennsylvania.
	I think he was where he's from.
	But, yeah, he was richly rewarded by the establishment because we don't have elections and we haven't had elections for a long time.
	These people are handpicked to go in and that's our inspector's testimony.
	This has been going on for a very, very long time.
	As a matter of fact, I love the headline from one of these articles about the election in Argentina.
	It's my favorite comment about the election in Argentina.
	How did they count just a matter of hours?
	By hand. All of these paper ballots can get a result.
	When we can't, with all of our voting machines and computers, get a result in these Democrat-controlled places for days.
	How did they do that?
	How did they do that?
	It's so much simpler if you're just counting instead of manipulating, isn't it?
	Well, the NSA is promoting anti-white racism amongst employees.
	It's on Zero Hedge, actually.
	It's... Information that was obtained with a FOIA request, I think, from the Daily Wire.
	And it was also reported by Epoch Times.
	Actually, it's the Epoch Times article that's on Zero Hedge.
	But yeah, they're promoting anti-white racism amongst employees.
	White people are characterized as oppressive.
	See, here's this oppression Olympics that Jonathan Greenblatt was talking about, the ADL. Something that he's made a living at doing.
	Working with Obama and then with the ADL. It's what the ADL is all about.
	It's what the Southern Poverty Law Center is all about.
	It's the Oppression Olympics.
	And how evil white people are.
	It is not okay to be white.
	ADL agrees that it is not okay to be white.
	So the NSA's, a copy of their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Glossary.
	Glossary. This is kind of like the leak of, and it doesn't say they got it with a FOIA request.
	It's like somebody leaked it to them.
	But it's kind of like the hacking of the CIA where they were able to get Vault 7, which showed how they could hack into anything, anywhere, and pretend to be any country.
	We have a way of disguising ourselves to look like we are Russian or Chinese or North Korean or even other allies.
	And so this is kind of like that.
	It's kind of like the glossary that they've got.
	You know, we had the manual released by WikiLeaks and then eventually somebody else released the code that they stole from the NSA. Yeah.
	And the CIA released that code to show how these people are hacking other people.
	This is how the NSA is hacking our society, how the government is hacking our society.
	And when you look at this, the No Such Agency, as they used to call them, the National Security Agency, considering the fact that these people are Orwellian, Stasi-like spies, violating every aspect of the Constitution, spying on Mr.
	and Mrs. Verizon and everybody, keeping records on everybody, This kind of institutional hatred, racism, and politicized weaponry is very concerning.
	It was published as recently as May of 2022.
	The glossary defines 327 social justice terms, explicitly promotes critical race theory and LGBT ideologies.
	It defines settler colonialism.
	Settler colonialism. The examples that they use include white European occupation of land in what is now the United States, Spain's settlements throughout Latin America, and the apartheid government established by white Europeans in South Africa.
	Note that they did not include Israel.
	Israel has now been added to the list by the leftist people, calling them colonizers.
	Right? And essentially, as Victor Davis Hanson says, this weaponized stuff, much of it weaponized by Jewish organizations like ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center, this has now backfired on them.
	They are now identified as colonizers themselves.
	They're now identified as having white privilege.
	Whoops. Whoops.
	Yeah, we thought we'd throw somebody else out there and make them the boogeyman so we wouldn't be the boogeyman in a society again.
	And now it's backfired on them.
	But this has not made it into the NSA's glossary yet.
	But it's made it into the Urban Dictionary.
	And it didn't come out again.
	And so maybe these organizations need to, and the Jews need to distance themselves from this stuff.
	And stop applauding it and stop pushing it.
	Because it's going to be used against them.
	It's already being used against them.
	White fragility is defined as a state in which, quote, even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves in white people.
	You know, the amazing thing about this is that white people, conservatives, especially Southerners, have been able to laugh at themselves more than any other people group I've seen.
	You might be a redneck if...
	You remember that? We were the ones who liked that stuff.
	You know? All the redneck jokes.
	Self-deprecation is not an indication of fragility, is it?
	And, you know, the story, I told somebody the story over the weekend, they'd not heard it, about how a couple of decades ago, when all this stuff about, you know, you can't have Indian mascots or Indian names for your teams and things like that.
	And, you know, growing up in Florida, as I said before, the junior high school, we were the warriors.
	In high school, we were the chiefs.
	And the drum majors had these big Indian headdresses and shirtless.
	And they put red makeup, or red, they call it Texas dirt.
	They rubbed it all over their chest and face and arms and everything.
	And then put war paint on that.
	And it's like, oh, can you imagine how flipped out they'd be?
	As a matter of fact, they're in Tampa.
	The mayor of Tampa graduated from Chamberlain.
	She was upset about the fact that they spent...
	It was over $50,000, I think, to take down the big chief head and rebrand their mascot.
	So this isn't necessary, but they did it anyway, you know, because DEI. But decades ago, there was a guy who was leading this, was on the cutting edge of all of this, let's just call it Indian fragility.
	Indian fragility.
	I mean, they're so fragile that even when people put up a mascot to honor them, he can't handle that.
	And so he said, well, how do white people feel?
	And so what he does is he comes up with a Fighting Whities mascot shirt.
	And, you know, it's like this 1950s archetypal, you know, white guy businessman with a suit and he's got a pipe and all the rest of the stuff.
	And he sold a gazillion copies of that stuff, white to white people who loved it.
	So, yeah, it's not, there's not this white fragility.
	Instead, what they want you to do is to...
	People get upset when they start their little Marxist struggle sessions where you have to be anti-racist, which means you have to be anti-white.
	You have to hate yourself.
	And as I said, I think this is a key thing and part of this trans shooter in Nashville.
	Hate your gender, hate your skin color, hate everything about yourself, and then wind up hating everybody else, which is what it was designed to do.
	Anyway, the NSA says a privileged group member, quote-unquote, This is their glossary.
	What is a privileged group member?
	Well, that is going to be...
	These are privileged groups.
	Whites. Men.
	The owning class.
	Oh, see the Marxism here?
	The owning class. Oh, the next one.
	The middle class. What the Marxists always called bourgeoisie, right?
	Then you add the new wrinkles that have been put in by the CIA in our country, because they are the ones who have been pushing this feminism and the deconstruction of art and culture.
	Heterosexuals, Gentiles, Gentiles.
	See, they thought they'd carved out an exception for the Jews, except now the people on the street, Black Lives Matter people, all the rest of them, are saying, no, the Jews are white privileged.
	The Jews are colonizers.
	So heterosexuals, Gentiles, Christians, and non-disabled individuals.
	So you see, the NSA with their DEI, in their glossary, they are codifying and demanding discrimination based on skin color, based on gender, based on religion, based on sex, and the rest of this stuff.
	That's the amazing thing about it, is how these people have projected racism onto other people, and yet they codify it in their government documents.
	And you have organizations like Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL, who exist strictly by playing the race card as a bunch of racism Marxist pimps, and they project their hatred and their racism onto white people.
	And they make a very handsome living at it.
	As a matter of fact, the Department of Defense, in terms of the amount of money that's being spent on this, in 2022, they spent $68 million on these DEI initiatives.
	And for fiscal 2023, it jumped from $68 million to $86.5 million.
	Combined the total diversity funding...
	For the years 2022, 2023, 2024, where they've been doing this, it's come up to $270 million.
	So, you know, when we look at how our government wastes money, it truly is amazing.
	Everybody talks about how we give the most money to Israel, historically.
	And yet, the amount of money...
	That the Biden administration is pushing this LGBT stuff globally is now more than they're giving to Israel.
	So, it's very, very important to them.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the Finnish border.
	Maybe we could call it the Finnish line, I guess.
	And what does that tell us about our broken defense department and the fact that they're not doing anything?
	So we're going to take a quick break and...
	Just to remind you that Christmas is coming up.
	I have done some new Christmas carols.
	We're not ready to release it yet, but we are going to do a Christmas album.
	A lot of people have been asking about that.
	So here's one of the new songs, and we'll be right back.
	Music We're
	good to go. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Interested in a curated list of the finest classical music?
	Find it now at APSradio.com.
	All right, welcome back.
	And I'll just mention, I said I'm going to be pushing some merchandise on you.
	Well, you know, we've got merchandise this year, and we've got the Black Friday thing coming up, so let's tell people about this.
	And we have put on discount several different things.
	One of them, the tumbler, is a 16-ounce koozie.
	It's a double-wall tumbler.
	And it is only $16.99.
	And I really like this.
	Karen gave me the talking points here.
	Stainless steel outer and Triton plastic inner.
	Screw-on lid. Leak-proof.
	16-ounce capacity when filled to the rim.
	15-ounce capacity with the lid on.
	Keeps drinks hot or cold for hours.
	It is sweat-proof.
	My favorite thing, which is not listed on this, is the fact that it's got a rubber bottom to it.
	So it is no scratch and no noise.
	So I like that a great deal.
	And, of course, the most important feature is it's got our show's logo on there.
	So, again, you can find that at ddavidknightshow.com.
	And we've got some other things that we put on Black Friday sale that we'll be showing that to you.
	And all of these, she's written very big here, are while supplies last.
	So, that's been the...
	Koozie Tumblr has been reduced to $16.99 while supplies last.
	Let's talk about the Finnish line, the Finnish border.
	The Finnish military is now building a border wall.
	Why? Well, they're accusing the Russians of sending people in.
	And they're charging them with weaponizing immigration.
	Wait a minute.
	I thought that was a conspiracy theory.
	Like the CIA assassination of JFK. Finland has lately accused Moscow of weaponizing migrants to create a crisis border crossings.
	Wow. Wow.
	But, you know, if you say that it's being done by Soros, or if you say it's being done by the UN, oh, that can't possibly be true.
	You know, you need to be taken off of social media for saying something like that, because you're obviously racist.
	You're worried about your white privilege.
	Well, I mean, you know, the Finnish people are white and the Russians are white, but, you know, we do have our borders being weaponized in the same way.
	They only have an 830-mile border with Russia.
	It is also the external, the last of the European Union countries' borders there with Russia.
	And so the EU president, Ursula von der Leyen, It is very concerned about this, even though she's not concerned about the massive immigration weaponization coming in through the South, being brought there by NGOs, being funded by Soros and things like that, or any of these other places.
	But she said, along with the Finnish prime minister, they condemned what they called Russia's, quote, instrumentalization of migrants.
	Not weaponization, but instrumentalization.
	Ursula von der Leiden called it shameful.
	Well, you know, isn't that Putin something else?
	I mean, you know, he's sending Russian immigrants into the Finnish border.
	He must not like Finland.
	Well, what do we say about Biden then, right?
	Or Trump, when they don't do anything to protect our border?
	Even Ursula von der Leiden.
	We'll jump on board with protecting this when they realize that it's something that they don't want to have happen.
	I guess that means that Biden and Trump wanted it to happen because they did nothing about it.
	Trump did nothing about it for four years.
	Biden has done nothing about it for two years.
	So what are they suggesting?
	They said, well, we've had about 300 undocumented asylum seekers.
	I mean, these people can be legitimate refugees coming from Putin's evil Russia.
	But they don't care.
	And only 300.
	Only 300.
	Not millions.
	In some instances, this has led to violence with border guards having deployed riot control measures to keep migrant groups from breaching the border.
	Well, they don't have caravans that are coming with thousands of people in each of the caravans.
	You know, this is 300 people.
	But, you know, our government only builds walls around D.C. They only build walls around the Capitol.
	They only have a used force to protect the Capitol.
	The rest of the country can burn down.
	They call it mostly peaceful. The rest of the country can be invaded and they don't care.
	This is why we has met the enemy and they is not us, but they is U.S. Pogo got that a little bit wrong.
	It is the U.S. government.
	The Finnish defense forces are helping the country's border guards construct temporary fences on the Russian border.
	Why didn't Trump think of that?
	Well, you know, it's just too complicated to think about that, isn't it?
	I used to criticize him from day one to Alex Jones' consternation.
	I said, you know, you're president now.
	You said you're going to bring the troops home from the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and you can put them right there on the border.
	You don't have to get the permission of Congress.
	Oh, I'm going to have Mexico pay for it, he said.
	He couldn't even get Congress to pay for it.
	But he could. He was the commander-in-chief of the military, and you can deploy troops anywhere you want to.
	You could even deploy troops in your own country.
	To protect your own border.
	Imagine that. If somebody pointed that out to the Trumpmeister, right?
	The guy who locked us down and who bragged about how he had locked everything down and he'd stopped travel across the border for the COVID pandemic, but he won't do it for the Great Replacement.
	He'll only do it when it furthers the World Economic Forum's agenda on the Great Reset.
	So the Finnish Prime Minister last week went so far as to allege that migrants are actually being transported to the Finnish border with the help of Russian authorities.
	You know, like we know that Michael Jan has pointed out, all these Soros-funded organizations are doing that to us.
	It's clear these people are helped, and they're also being escorted or transported to the border by border guards.
	And that is happening to us.
	And then when they get to the border, you have Biden's border guards helping them further into the country.
	Isn't that interesting how that works?
	So at the same time, the EU is coming up with a digital identity wallet.
	I have not seen them use the excuse yet that Republicans are using, that we all need to have identity numbers, like DeSantis used E-Verify.
	We all need to have that.
	Because we can't control the borders.
	No, you won't control the borders.
	You create a problem so that you can push your solution of an ID number on us.
	The EU's digital identity wallet is an electronic leash with which Brussels wants to control its citizens.
	There's a danger that the new Polish government may just wave through this oppression policy.
	The agreement between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the EU digital identity wallet is open to abuse.
	It gives Brussels the ability to deny people rights.
	It allows them to control them.
	That's what this is all about. All of the identification stuff.
	And again, Bill Gates has had for the longest time his plan that everybody would get an ID in 2020 when they kicked off the pandemic, right?
	He had an organization called ID2020. And of course, he's got another one called IA2030. So the ID was supposed to be rolled out in 2020, which they did.
	They rolled it out with a pandemic, essentially, and saying you're going to have to have your vaccine numbers and everything.
	Of course, it was the next year, 2021.
	But they began the process with a pandemic panic.
	And then his IA2030 is his immunization agenda.
	So that in 2030, the slogan of the organization is, everyone, everywhere, every age, vaccinated.
	That's what he's up to.
	That's what this is all about.
	And again, we go back and we look at the person who is the most anti-Semitic person on earth.
	Who is that? Is that Nick Fuentes?
	Is it Andrew Tate?
	Well, I would say that the most anti-Semitic person on earth is Netanyahu.
	Because he's killed more people and poisoned more people than anybody has in history.
	Joseph Mengele or anybody else.
	Of course, that'll put me at the top of the list of the ADL, and I don't care.
	But it's the truth. He bragged to his masters at the World Economic Forum, and I've played that clip for you several times, about how he was going to use his people as lab rats for Pfizer.
	And he did. And the other thing he did was he pushed this digital identity on them.
	So according to the new European Union legislation, these wallets, which are voluntary for the time, yeah, voluntary, you know, just like the TSA face scans.
	As a matter of fact, I've got a funny article.
	From James Bovard, he had to fly, and his interactions with the TSA, this biometric stuff.
	Yeah, they're saying the TSA face scans, they're voluntary.
	Yeah, this ID stuff is voluntary, but just for the time being, okay?
	And I've reported before about how they recently passed this legislation, and when they got finished, this same guy, Theory Breton, I said he's the conspiracy theory that everybody's been talking about, He's the one who wants to shut down our speech.
	He's the one who's come multiple times to get Elon Musk to bow before him in a cringy manner.
	Saying, we've got this DSA thing that's going to roll out, and they've now affected it, but they haven't started enforcing it until next year.
	But he says, we've got this DSA thing that's coming, and you're going to do what we've said.
	Oh, yes, yes, I will. Yes, I will.
	Master theory.
	And so, yeah, the same guy was the one who was pushing this digital ID wallet.
	And when they got finished, he said, now we need to have something to go in the digital wallet, which means the CBDC stuff.
	It'll make the EU a digital leader at a global level in protecting democratic values, they said.
	What democratic values are those?
	This is nothing but the mark of the beast, the mark of the government.
	This is a full-on tyranny.
	Now, in pushing back against this, Poland's central bank chief, This is a guy who has their
	central bank. Now...
	I was actually kind of a bit surprised.
	I thought, wait a minute, I thought they got rid of all of the different currencies that were out there.
	But you do have the German central bank and all the rest of this stuff.
	And each of these countries still has its central bank, even though they got the euro, and even though they have the European central bank.
	This latest EU move is also tied to proposed treaty changes, which will then phase out All of these national currencies.
	So perhaps one of the reasons why this Polish central bank head is pushing back on this is not because he's a freedom lover.
	He just doesn't want to lose his central bank and his Polish currency.
	Which, again, I don't know really how this works if everybody is using the euro.
	Maybe they have the opportunity to use the euro or the local one.
	But I thought they confiscated these currencies.
	So I'm not really sure what these central banks do.
	I know they buy gold. See, there's articles all the time about how this central bank's buying gold, and that one's buying gold.
	But I don't know.
	I haven't been to Europe since they instituted the EU, so I don't really know how people are using, if they're still using the local currencies, the national currencies.
	But they're going to phase them out. That's the next stage.
	They do it by step by step, right?
	Not only would Poland be denied the right to conduct its own monetary policy, but the EU would also control the wallets of Polish citizens.
	I imagine what the central banks do as I think about it now.
	They're probably, you know, they're there to put the country in debt, you know, to the IMF or something, or to China, I guess.
	That's the purpose that they serve.
	I don't know if they're actually printing any physical Polish money now or German marks or anything like that, but they can still, I guess, mess with the country.
	They can set the interest rates and they can put them in debt.
	Banks in Canada and Australia have already begun to count the carbon footprints of their clients' purchases, and this is just one step away from stopping them to make certain transactions that would go over that limit that they're now totaling up for everybody.
	Israeli intelligence is going to be granted full access to their national biometric database.
	You see, that's what I was saying about Netanyahu.
	The most anti-Semitic person on earth.
	Because they've taken the lead on all, under his leadership, they've taken the lead on rushing into all this digital ID stuff.
	More so than anybody else.
	By the way, there's going to be news breaking news.
	Late last night or this morning, they say they're going to have a temporary ceasefire and get 50 hostages, so we'll see what happens with that.
	But look at what is happening with the biometric database, and how do you think they're going to use that?
	You know, it is an open-air prison.
	It's an open-air police state.
	That's what they're looking for for everybody.
	And that's what Netanyahu is looking to institute on his own people, just as he used them for lab rats for Pfizer.
	The Israeli government maintains that the purpose of this database is to, quote, protect the identity of Israeli citizens and to ensure that every person has only one set of official documentation and one unique identity, the person's true identity.
	And so we need to have everything centralized, don't we?
	And not only that, but, you know, we don't want to have these different databases, you know, for each individual nation.
	So we need to have one global database, one global Mark of the Beast ID. Isn't it amazing?
	2,000 years ago, this old man on an island just made all this stuff up, right?
	Yeah, you think that's what's happening with that?
	Things are happening with Revelation.
	ICE, by the way, has now, you know, just in case you think that the Immigration Border Patrol people aren't doing anything, well, they arrested a Brazilian illegal immigrant who's a child rapist.
	Now, they didn't arrest him at the border.
	They let him in the country. Eventually, they, you know, got some information about him and then arrested him.
	I don't know if they're going to release him back into the country.
	What are they going to do? He's been sentenced to 14 years in prison.
	But he fled Brazil.
	And so when you see these types of things, and of course this story is being carried by Fox News, when you see this, you're going to see the conservatives increasingly demanding ID, but not border protection, most likely.
	And then you have New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who is announcing plans to implement pre-crime surveillance.
	This has been around for a long time.
	You know, the Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the fastest growing part of the intelligence community, they started putting this stuff together back in the late 1990s as they started putting venture capital funding in for the people who were going to run the internet because the internet is a big trap.
	Yeah, just call it the net.
	It's the NSA and CIA's net.
	To entrap you. To surveil you.
	To set up a life log on you.
	To push out their narrative and then to shut down any dissent.
	It's a net.
	And so at the same time they were doing this, and of course the Geospatial Intelligence Agency, fastest growing area of that, James Clapper, that's where he fast-tracked his career by being a part of geospatial intelligence.
	And as part of that, they have anticipatory intelligence.
	The whole point of geospatial intelligence is to map you to certain areas, as we saw happening on January the 6th.
	Bank of America saying, here's all the people that made any purchases within the Washington region, you know, and so forth.
	And then here's another list of all the people that have ever used a Bank of America card for buying a gun.
	They send that to the FBI. Supposedly, the FBI didn't ask for it.
	We're going to find out whether they did or not, because Jim Jordan has subpoenaed those emails inside of Bank of America.
	But we won't know for another six or seven months at the earliest.
	Anyway, the... When you look at this, the whole point of geospatial intelligence is to be able to map people's political beliefs geographically, you know, and to map the political beliefs to certain, you know, people.
	And to also map their religious beliefs.
	Political and religious beliefs they wanted mapped.
	And it was called anticipatory intelligence.
	And so Kathy Hochul was right on board with all this stuff.
	Pre-crime surveillance, targeting what they call online hate.
	We're creating strategies, the first time ever, to help identify hate at the source and prevent crimes before they occur, said Kathy Hochul.
	Well, she's actually a little bit late to the party, frankly, because DeSantis beat her to it.
	He created hate crime legislation in Florida, and then he went to Israel to sign it, because it was hate crimes that he said were being committed against Jewish people in Florida.
	And it was hateful, you know what other people were saying, but that's protected speech.
	But not by DeSantis.
	Because he'll go to a foreign country and sign a law that presumes to shut down the First Amendment and free speech.
	As this article points out, though, from Reclaim the Net, they said she has previously claimed...
	That hate speech is not protected speech.
	And DeSantis has passed laws in Florida with the other Republicans in Florida saying that hate speech, if they call something hateful, then it's not protected speech.
	However, Reclaim the Net points out that the Supreme Court recently unanimously reaffirmed That there is no hate speech exception to the First Amendment.
	You don't get to censor people by calling it hate speech.
	And you don't get to make it a crime, a felony, which DeSantis is way ahead of even Kathy Hochul, as despicable as she is.
	Think about that.
	Hochul also signed a controversial hateful conduct law last year, which is currently facing legal challenges and injunctions over free speech concerns.
	And then she had this little press conference where she talked about how she is going to start propagandizing kids from a very, very early age, politically, you know, just as they do sexually.
	Here is Kathy Hochul's conspiracy theories about how evil free speech can be and how she has to get the kids early.
	So they can distinguish people.
	What is true? In other words, what the government is telling you is true.
	And what is false?
	Anybody that contradicts and doesn't parrot or echo what the government is saying is obviously false.
	They're obviously conspiracy theorists.
	Today I'm directing the Director of Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to develop media literacy tools for K-12 in our public schools.
	This will teach students And even teachers to help understand how to spot conspiracy theories and misinformation, disinformation, and online hate.
	Start talking about what we're seeing out there.
	Give the teachers the tools they need to help these conversations in school.
	And by teaching younger New Yorkers about how to discern between digital fact and digital fiction, we can better inoculate them from hatred.
	And the spread of it. And help prepare them for a very fast-moving and often confusing world.
	Yeah, well, I think we need to inoculate people against the CIA that starts wars, kills presidents, organizes coups in other places like Ukraine, and has done so all of my life.
	They're the ones who are the source of these lies, and they've got these puppet politicians like Kathy Hochul, and I would include DeSantis out there saying, we've got to shut this stuff down.
	She specifically, by the way, you know, and I said this the other day, I haven't seen anybody else say this.
	So here's my conspiracy theory, and I stand by it.
	All this stuff about taking TikTok down.
	They've been wanting to take TikTok down for quite some time.
	Why? Because it is a propaganda arm for the Chinese communists, and they know that very well, because they established all these social media companies as propaganda arms themselves.
	Right? You know, CIA created In-Q-Tel, venture capital firm.
	They put the NSA and CIA and these different intelligence agencies put their people on the venture capital boards that created these social media companies.
	Some of them failed because they wanted to have the strongest ones succeed.
	So they find people who are going to do their bidding and then they let them compete.
	Same thing they do in these elections.
	May the best puppet win.
	And so that's what they have here.
	Now, the Chinese come in with TikTok.
	And all of a sudden, it gets really, really popular.
	Uh-oh. Our model is that all these people who are running the social media sites need to do our bidding.
	And so they're very upset about that.
	They're very upset about Twitter.
	And so that's why you hear all this complaint.
	You don't hear any complaints about Facebook, do you?
	But you hear all these complaints about Twitter.
	You hear complaints about TikTok, but especially TikTok.
	And so, when this Bin Laden letter is there circulating around on TikTok, she mentions this again.
	She mentions it again.
	And I believe this is a letter that was put out post-9-11, if it did, in fact, come out at that time.
	I don't know if it came out at that time, or I haven't gone through and looked at the provenance to authenticate this.
	But if it did come out in 2002, I'm sure it was written by the CIA. You know, he needs kidney dialysis.
	I saw the notes.
	When I said the other day, I said a kidney dilation machine.
	Nobody wrote me on that, but I saw it in the transcript.
	I thought, oh, this is one of these things where otter is...
	You know, changing something I said, and I looked at it, and I said, maybe I really did say that.
	So I clicked on it. It's like, no, I said dialysis machines.
	I'm getting a touch of the Biden syndrome as I get older, I guess.
	But, no, it was a dialysis machine.
	How did he do that? Running around the mountains, carrying his dialysis machine with him?
	I don't think he was alive at that point in time, but, you know, he was a creation of the CIA from the very beginning.
	They're boogeymen. And I think they wrote this letter.
	And I think they released this letter because they want more ammunition to say we've got to shut TikTok down.
	So Kathy Hochul specifically mentioned TikTok's recent failure to adequately police content that praised Osama bin Laden and his post-9-11 letter to America.
	Yeah, these are social media sites.
	They're supposed to be free speech platforms.
	They're supposed to be the digital equivalent of the public square.
	They should not be policing speech.
	And I think, again, that the Bin Laden thing, I think it is just another one of their, you know, because, look, it's anti-Semitic, so it's hateful.
	And you're not shutting down this hateful anti-Semitic speech.
	Therefore, you've got to be shut down.
	The initiative comes in the wake of the Israeli-Hamas conflict, they say, has sparked a 400% increase in online threats.
	And she tweeted out on October the 7th.
	I guess I'll keep calling it tweeting.
	I don't know. What is the verb there for X-ing?
	She X-ed out. It just doesn't fit.
	So I'm going to have to keep calling it tweets.
	Since October 7th, we've seen a 400% increase in online anti-Semitic and Islamophobic threats.
	New York will not sit idly by.
	Well, lady, you know, there's a war going on between the Jews and the Muslims.
	So there's going to be a lot of harsh language, at the very least, that's going to be happening on Twitter.
	Oh, well, you know, and on TikTok.
	So we've got to shut them down.
	How about this? How about we shut down the war?
	You want to focus on the war instead of people talking about the war?
	Except that we know that a lot of this is bots that's being put out there by people who want the war.
	The politicians and the governments who want the war so they can play their geopolitical games of expansion and other things.
	Join me live as I announce a new four-pillar plan to keep New Yorkers safe from extremism and violence.
	Well, we can all hope that she pulls those pillars down upon her agenda like the Samson option or something.
	Governor Hochul has called upon social media companies to take a more active role in And censoring hateful content.
	He specifically mentioned TikTok's recent failures, again, for the Osama Bin Laden thing, which I will say again, I think it is the CIA that's doing this, and I think their agenda is to make sure they take down any social media site that they don't directly control that isn't a Mockingbird site, because they were the ones that were there at its creation.
	And the whole idea for the Internet itself is Was the creation of a DARPA psychologist who wanted to manipulate people, J.C.R. Licklider.
	A psychologist came up with it 30 years before they had the technology to do it.
	In Kentucky, we have Governor Beshear who says the GOP needs to stop scapegoating transgender kids.
	It's gross. It's wrong.
	I think it's gross and wrong to mutilate these kids chemically, surgically.
	What is the matter with this guy?
	We talk about people calling good evil and evil good.
	He says, all children are children of God.
	Okay, so Andy, why are you trying to murder, mutilate, and rip apart children of God?
	And then if you can't rip apart these children of God before they're born, then you're going to rip their genitals apart later on, while they're children still.
	What's the matter with this guy?
	What a lying hypocrite.
	He says, We have people who are more at risk for suicide.
	And we ought to be in the suicide prevention business.
	Hey pal, why don't you put yourself in the infanticide prevention business?
	So, your abortion preventive business.
	And look, it's your DEI stuff and your indoctrination that is creating this.
	We have never had this before.
	And look at what is happening.
	These kids... And, you know, the fact that it's the transgender kids who are committing suicide because they have been psychologically abused and manipulated by our government institutions.
	This is institutional abuse funded by taxpayers.
	The educational system.
	This never happened before.
	Just think about this.
	Think about how recent this is.
	This is one of these things like, you know, we've got to screen kids for heart attacks now.
	Why? Well, because you injected them with this Trump poison.
	Oh, we've got to screen kids for suicide.
	Why? Because you injected them with this perverted ideas about they're in the wrong body and all the rest of this stuff.
	This is all new. This is as new as the kids dying of heart attacks when they participate in sports.
	It's all new. He says...
	I oppose this, and I had super PACs.
	My opponents went about in the campaign.
	What they said was mean. It was gross.
	It was cruel. People don't like that.
	Well, I don't know what the ads were.
	I'm not in Kentucky, so I don't know what super PAC ads were.
	Maybe they were mean and gross.
	He said some people are doing or trying to dehumanize other people.
	Oh, well, now this liar here, which, you know, maybe they weren't mean and gross because this guy's lied about everything else.
	But, you know, you're trying to dehumanize other human beings.
	No, you're the one who's trying to dehumanize them.
	You're trying to degenderize them.
	You're trying to mutilate them chemically, surgically.
	I think that's dehumanizing.
	Again, you know, the Navy SEAL, Christopher Beck, who was going as Kristen Beck and being celebrated and pushed into that by Michael Flynn.
	Yeah, General Flynn.
	When he was a DCI there, you know, for their second Pride Month there at the Pentagon, that Flynn was pushing this.
	And now, Kristen Beck says, I was an adult.
	He said, I should have known better, but these people really pressured me, and that was wrong for them to do that.
	And he goes, I can't be quiet about the fact they're doing this to young kids.
	Here's a guy who is an older SEAL. He's been around.
	And they were able to do this gaslighting to him.
	What do you think they're doing to the kids in school?
	You want to talk about dehumanizing other human beings?
	You pathetic liar.
	And then he says, and, you know, trying to turn people against each other and even foster hate and anger.
	You know what he's doing? He and these Democrat governors are doing this against parents.
	They're allied against parents.
	They want to foster hate and anger towards parents.
	Why? Because they want to replace parents.
	They want to replace the family.
	They don't want there to be a family.
	They want these kids.
	And they want them. So that they can gaslight them.
	So they can mutilate them mentally, spiritually, and physically.
	That's what they're about.
	Democrat ex-Mayor Patrick Wuhan.
	Gets a 30-year prison term over child porn material.
	The interesting thing about this guy is not even that.
	It's the fact that he had as a mentor, Pete Buttigay.
	He was arrested on 56 child pornography positions, and of course he was very close to Buttigay.
	Police said they investigated the matter and found the social media account with a screen named Skippy, M.D., Belonging to him, and not as an MD doctor, but from Maryland.
	They believe that he used a virtual private network to mask his location when he was getting into the social media account to get to the kids that were there.
	So he's now facing long-term issues with this.
	And so Michael Schellenberger says, why Democrats have become the totalitarians that they warned us about?
	It says, how'd the left go from defending the free speech rights of neo-Nazis to demanding censorship, falsely accusing their opponents of being fascists, and seeking their imprisonment?
	And so he has quotes here.
	When Trump became president, he said Democrats said, Trump said, David Remick in The New Yorker, Trump was an authoritarian who disdained civil liberties and whose election was surely the way fascism can begin.
	And these people don't have a problem with what Trump did in 2020.
	As a matter of fact, he didn't do enough to lock us down, according to them.
	He didn't do enough to vaccinate us.
	They wanted to go even further.
	I say that Trump showed himself to be a totalitarian when he enacted medical martial law.
	Of course, I was attacked by the ADL for saying that.
	I guess that's anti-Semitic, right?
	In 2018, legal scholar Cass Sunstein suggested that Trump would not bring authoritarianism to the United States.
	Then after the Capitol riot, not after 2020, he changed his mind.
	He said American democracy was indeed under threat from Trump and his supporters.
	The events of January the 6th, 2021, made me think I was actually quite long on that.
	Well, he was wrong to look the other way.
	And Trump's supporters, all the people who showed up on January 6th, well, they had no problem with what Trump had done for the previous year.
	And as I said at the time, he turned us over to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats to rule over us.
	They have trashed, burned, shredded the Constitution for the last year.
	Why would I vote for any of these people?
	I said. And the 2020 election was the first election I haven't voted in.
	And I'm done. I'm done.
	I'm not voting anymore for this stuff.
	We're not being ruled by the people that we vote for.
	They're not doing anything. You know, you put them into Congress and what do they do?
	They kick it over to the bureaucracy and tell them to do it.
	Or you have people like Trump and says, you know, well, okay, we're going to do gun control, which is bad enough.
	But he says, we're going to do it with the bureaucracy.
	We're going to kick it to the bureaucracy instead of Congress and so forth.
	So I'm done with those people.
	As a matter of fact, I got a kick out of this.
	This was sent to me by a listener.
	He says, here's my Trump tribute.
	A picture of Trump.
	And over Trump's face, he's put the David Knight Show bumper sticker.
	And then he's got a big hypodermic needle stuck in the frame.
	And hanging from the frame, he's got a mask.
	It's a Trump tribute.
	Good for you. I see some crutches there.
	I hope you were not injured by the vaccine.
	I hope that is in honor of other people who were injured by the Trump shot.
	I hope that is not something that you need.
	But, above all, the newly released tapes demonstrate that the Democrat Party's claims to fighting for democracy and staving off authoritarianism are a sham.
	True. And that it is the Democrats who have, in their persecution of Trump and his followers, done more to undermine democracy than Trump ever threatened to do.
	Well, I don't know. I think that they've got their different approaches.
	That's why I say we look at the left and the right, and we look at the Republicans and the Democrats, because they're going to come at us in a different way.
	And the key thing is, what keeps everybody off guard, and it fools people like Michael Schellenberger, It's the fact that it's the left-right march of tyranny.
	The left will do this, the right will do that.
	They have to put these people in because they know that, okay, this is something, you know, locking everybody down and forcing everybody to get a vaccine, that's something that conservatives are going to have a really hard time with.
	So let's put in a conservative Republican and we'll bill him as the anti-globalist Trump.
	So, you know, of course he can't be enacting the World Economic Forum's plan because we know that he's anti-globalist.
	How do you know he's anti-globalist?
	Because he says so. Because they say so.
	But if you look at what he's doing, you realize that he's not anti-globalist.
	But don't look at what he does.
	Look at what he says. Look at the letter behind his name.
	And you'll know that he is truly an anti-globalist.
	He is not a shill for them.
	And so when you look at the left and you look at the right, they put their people in and they alternate them so that they can get the people to sign on to the next step.
	Which is what really concerns me about this next election and Trump's position in it.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to 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.
	Dumbo! The night wonder of the universe!
	The world's only flying elephants!
	Woo! Did you ever see an elephant fly?
	Well, I seen a horse fly.
	I seen a dragon fly.
	I seen a house fly.
	See, I seen all that too.
	I seen a peanut stand and heard a rubber band.
	I seen a needle that winked its eye.
	But I be done seeing about everything when I see an elephant fly.
	Oh, yeah. Well, we have a horsefly.
	We've now seen a horsefly.
	This just happened in the news.
	We had a horse that got loose as it was being flown from New York to Belgium, and they had to turn the 747 cargo plane back around and go back to JFK International Airport.
	They couldn't control the horse.
	It's running loose. I love the Dumbo clip there.
	I've seen a horse fly. I've seen a house fly.
	I ain't never seen an elephant fly.
	Well, it's a good thing there wasn't an elephant inside this plane.
	It would have affected the way they flew it.
	According to the pilot, even though the horse was loose and running, it did not affect the flight of the plane.
	They had to dump a great deal of fuel.
	They were only about 30 minutes out, and so they had to turn around.
	And so they had to dump 20 tons of fuel over the Atlantic.
	This is...
	Where is Al Gore?
	Is there going to be some outrage about some kind of climate disaster over this thing?
	20 tons of fuel over the ocean.
	And just 10 miles west of Martha's Vineyard.
	Oh, you know, all these...
	Billionaire politicians are going to get an oil slick on their homes or something like that.
	But anyway, he called and said, We're in a cargo plane with a live animal, a horse on board.
	The horse managed to escape its stall.
	There's no issue with flying.
	The horse is not flying.
	Well, I guess he was in a sense.
	He was not winged.
	He wasn't Pegasus.
	But we need to go back to New York as we cannot re-secure the horse.
	When he landed, they said...
	Do you need any emergency help?
	And he says, well, not on the ground, but I need it at the ramp.
	Yes, we have a horse problem.
	He asked for a veterinarian as well when that landed.
	And so, you know, we've got a lot of people who are going to be flying over the weekend.
	If you've got a long distance to go and you can't drive, I'm very sorry for you.
	And we have, as part of the side effects of these ongoing wars and hostilities, As we become more and more dependent on computers and this computerized infrastructure, we become more and more susceptible to attack and more and more vulnerable to it.
	And a good example of this is the electronic warfare that is now happening on planes.
	And they said there's six different...
	Navigational things that are used on a commercial flight as a redundancy.
	But when you have business jets and private jets and things like that, well, you know, these people like Al Gore who are flying around and these jets everywhere, any of these other climate pimps, they may be susceptible to this.
	Most of it, however, is focused in and around the areas where we have got wars cooking in the Middle East and Ukraine.
	And it goes back to, you know, the GPS was originally a military tool, the U.S. military.
	And it wasn't until the 1980s that they started making it available for use for planes.
	But even then, they put a fudge factor in it so that it wasn't going to be quite as accurate as it would be for them.
	So when they made it available for civilian use, it was not as accurate as the military use.
	But then after a few years...
	It's in here in the article.
	I think it was in the 90s they made it more accurate, you know, because it was pretty inaccurate at the very beginning.
	But planes are losing their satellite signals, their GPS. Pilots have received false location reports or inaccurate warnings that said that they were flying close to terrain, according to the European Union safety regulators and an internal airline memo that was viewed by the New York Times.
	The FAA has also warned pilots about GPS jamming in the Middle East.
	So there's a couple of different things that can happen.
	They can jam the signal, they can interfere with it, or they can spoof it, which means that they are sending out signals that pretend to be real but are actually giving them misinformation.
	Kind of like mainstream media.
	Aircraft systems are proved largely unable to detect GPS spoofing.
	One jet that was bound for Dubai nearly veered into Iranian airspace in September before pilots figured out the plane was chasing a false signal.
	And again, you know, these planes could get shot down if they go into the wrong area.
	That could be an international incident.
	That could be something that starts a larger war.
	Large commercial aircraft, as I said, have at least six redundant navigation systems that are alternative.
	But what's changed over the last couple of years is that spoofing has moved from being a theory in research articles and in labs to actual events in the wild.
	And looking between the lines of this article, it appears that perhaps the Russians are quite a bit ahead of us in terms of doing this.
	And we know that the Russians are technologically ahead of us in some areas, like hypersonic missiles and things like that.
	This may be another one of those.
	They were saying that Putin, as he was traveling to remote locations in Russian-occupied Crimea, he was flanked by mobile GPS spoofing technology.
	You kind of think of this as kind of like electronic chaff.
	You know, if you've got some missiles that are going to be, you know, keying in on something, maybe that provides another level of defense.
	Russia has disrupted GPS signals to misdirect Ukrainian drones and to throw precision-guided shells off of their targets.
	You see, even the artillery shells are using GPS. Isn't that interesting?
	I didn't know that before.
	Ukraine also jams Russian receivers, but it lacks the same level of sophistication.
	So, okay, so when you look at that and say, well, this is something that in just recent years, it was just a theory.
	But now we're seeing that it's actually being used.
	So that's number one.
	Number two, they say, well, Ukraine has some jamming capability.
	They don't say spoofing. Okay?
	Number two. Number three...
	They say they don't have the sophistication of the Russians.
	So is it because we didn't give it to the Ukrainians or because we don't have it to give to the Ukrainians?
	Is this Russian spoofing thing?
	Is that something where they're way ahead of us and we don't have it?
	Because, you know, this is just a theory to Americans recently.
	And, you know, we don't have the same level of sophistication in Ukraine.
	Because it seems like we give the Ukrainians everything.
	You know, we give them that.
	Jamming is common in conflict zones.
	Spoofing until recently was rare.
	Yeah, this looks like this is a new thing.
	It looks like the Russians have got it down, but we don't.
	I've never seen this level of spoofing, said a technical expert for the British Airlines Pilots Association, who recently retired after 42 years as a pilot.
	He said the interference has been felt up to 190 miles away from battlefields.
	It appears to go well beyond simple military mission effectiveness.
	In the Middle East, A research team of the University of Texas Austin found widespread spoofing with false signals telling pilots that their aircraft were directly above the airport in Tel Aviv when, in fact, they were far away.
	They said it had received about 50 similar reports, and in some cases, onboard equipment showed their planes were approaching airports in Baghdad, Cairo, or Beirut when they were not.
	So again, this, by the way, when they started, the thing that they said caused them to authorize GPS use for civilians was when the Korean airliner KAL Flight 007 was shot down.
	It was a Korean airline.
	They said that it veered into Russian territory.
	And it just happened to have on it a very, very influential congressman, Larry McDonald, incredibly sharp and articulate and constitutional-minded.
	Larry McDonald, he was associated with the JBS, the John Birch Society.
	And, of course, 288 people.
	It was about a half-dozen congressmen.
	Conservative congressmen on board with him.
	Other people like that. So there was a lot of speculation that these were a lot of enemies of the state.
	And perhaps this was something that was deliberately done.
	We don't know. But it was after that, in 1983, that the U.S. government started to make GPS available for commercial airliners.
	And then in 2001, they made the signals more precise.
	See, what was it that happened in 2001?
	Well, if it was coming from them, they would have the full military, the planes or whatever it was.
	If that was coming from them, they would have the military stuff themselves.
	Anyway, the TSA, speaking of flying, I said Jim Bovard talked about his recent experience with the TSA and facial recognition.
	And he wrote an article about it for the Mises Institute.
	He said, the TSA is still crazy.
	Still crazy after all these years.
	Paul Simon. He says, as I neared the end of the TSA checkpoint line, I saw two women loitering behind a roped-off section for CLEAR, the new biometric surveillance program that works with 35 airports and coordinates with TSA. It also has this code word for the Scientologists.
	Yeah. I wonder if Tom Cruise had anything to do with the Clear system.
	Are you Clear? You got all those midichlorians or whatever they imagine out of you?
	Clear involves travelers standing in photo kiosks that compare their faces with a federal database of photos from passport applications, driver's licenses, and other sources.
	And of course, as we're seeing in Israel, this is all going to be used universally.
	They're going to unify all these databases for control.
	Centralized control. The Washington Post warned that airport facial recognition systems are, quote, America's biggest step yet to normalize treating our faces as data that can be stored, tracked, and inevitably stolen.
	Well, I'm not so worried about the stolen part of it.
	I'm worried about the fact that the government is storing it and tracking it and what purposes they're going to put it to.
	But of course, that's the Washington Post talking about that.
	You know, they're Democrats.
	They're usually on board with authoritarian stuff, but this is a bridge too far even for them.
	So, as we've seen since 2001, all this police state tyranny has been rolling out through the airports first.
	That's where they preview it for us.
	That's where they get us accustomed to it.
	That's why I have no interest in flying anymore.
	You know, vaccine, passport, or anything else.
	I'm not... Not interested in all this stuff.
	The TSA and the planes. And again, you know, just like Osama bin Laden.
	You know, the gift that keeps giving to these police state implementers.
	Anyway, going back to Jim Bovard, he says, though the CLEAR program is purportedly voluntary.
	Yeah, voluntary, just like the CLEAR. Biometric databases in Europe are now voluntary, and the digital ID is now voluntary, but it won't be for long.
	Washington National Airport recently threatened long delays, actually the TSA agents there, threatened long delays for any passenger who refused to be photographed by Clear, including a U.S. Senator, Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon.
	Perhaps this is why the Washington Post is writing about it.
	Because now you see a Democrat who's...
	Wait a minute. Merkley said the TSA falsely claimed there were signs notifying people that the facial scans were optional, but the clock is ticking down on seeking voluntary cooperation.
	The TSA chief announced in March that, quote, eventually, we will require biometrics across the board.
	And so, Jim Bovard says, so he's looking at these two women.
	We're loitering in this roped-off section of clear for this voluntary conditioning of people.
	And he says, Idle hands are the tool of the devil, as the old saying goes, and it's the same is true of cell phones.
	So I raised my phone camera and snapped a few shots of the women, and the howling commenced.
	Oh, they don't like it if you film them.
	I know because I've done that.
	We split up and we were coming back from Washington.
	Wasn't it Washington, Oregon on a vacation?
	And one of the family members, I think it might have been Travis, went through a different line or something.
	They got him and they started asking him questions about stuff.
	Because we all opt out.
	We opt out of the scanners.
	We don't want to... Go through scanners.
	And it isn't even that we don't want to go through the scanners.
	I want to, as much as I can, be a wrench in the works.
	I want to make things difficult for them.
	I'll do everything that I can short of being belligerent to them.
	To make their job difficult and to gum up the works.
	And I wish everybody would do that.
	If everybody opt out, can you imagine what would happen?
	But anyway, so he opted out and he went to a different line and they started asking him questions.
	So I pulled out my phone to record the questions that they were asking him.
	Oh, that got them really upset.
	And what they had done, I know what it was.
	He got separated from us. We were traveling with my daughter.
	She was young. And the guy was nice.
	He says, okay, come on through.
	We won't make you go through all this stuff and everything.
	And so he's nice to us.
	But then Travis, he's not with us, and so they let the four of us through, but they let Travis through, and they started asking him questions.
	And so then I started recording.
	And the guy says, I was nice to you.
	Now you're doing this recording. I said, well, look around you.
	There's cameras everywhere. We're both being recorded right now.
	And I said, yes, I am going to record this.
	And I was not impressed.
	It was like saying, well, you know, here I am, and I have a license to abuse you.
	But I didn't abuse you, so you should show me gratitude.
	And it's like, I'm sorry, I don't even, you shouldn't even have this job.
	I didn't say that, but that's what I was thinking.
	And so when Jim Bovard takes a picture of these women, they say, what are you doing?
	Screamed a young woman wearing a clear jacket.
	You can't take my photo.
	He says, but you're scanning people's eyeballs.
	He says, that doesn't matter.
	You can't take our photo.
	It's not allowed.
	She sounded as if I had desecrated a federal temple.
	Well, he has.
	I'm in control here.
	This is my thing. So then he gets up to the person who is going to look at his ID stuff, describes him as a stern, middle-aged TSA dude sitting behind plexiglass.
	He stared at my driver's license and then gave me an intense look.
	TSA considers a cold, penetrating stare, quote-unquote.
	A terrorist warning, but I assume this guy was above suspicion, even though he's getting the cold stare.
	I was tempted to ask how many TSA watch lists included my name, thanks to my bashing TSA on New York Times, USA Today, New York Post, Washington Times, and many other publications.
	So as a matter of fact, the TSA chief denounced me in 2014 for maligning TSA agents.
	But he says, TSA protocols make flying vexing without making travelers safe.
	As a matter of fact, people who are security experts say that if you bunch people up like they do, it actually makes them more susceptible if there was going to be a terrorist attack.
	The fact that there hasn't been a terrorist attack, and the TSA knows it, and the TSA admitted it, as I've said many times, in a lawsuit by John Corbett, not the reporter, but another guy who was an engineer, And he...
	Came up with a way to defeat their body scanners, and he also sued them.
	And as part of that lawsuit, part of his discovery, he was able to subpoena documents going back to 2011.
	At the same time, they're threatening to shut down Texas and make it a no-fly zone if Texas said you're not going to be able to manhandle kids going through the thing.
	And it unanimously passed in the House, and then they shut it down in the Senate.
	With the lieutenant governor who had retired from the CIA and then bought his way into being lieutenant governor.
	They set him up in the oil business.
	He made a lot of money. He spent more money than anybody ever spent to get elected to a statewide office up to that point.
	And so he was able to shut that down.
	But at the time that was all happening in 2011, this document said that there is no threat to airports or airplanes.
	No threat, no terrorist threat, nothing.
	And yet they were demanding that we have these newly installed scanners, naked body scanners, which they had already manufactured before the underwear bomber.
	They had them ready to go that Christmas and they rolled them out right away.
	Isn't that, what foresight they had.
	Of course, it was Chardoff, who used to be the first Homeland Security director, I think, was his title with Bush.
	And when he retired, he starts making these body scanners, and they got them all built and ready to go.
	And then, lo and behold, there's an underwear bomber.
	And the story just keeps going.
	You know, Haskell, the lawyer who filmed that and talked about it, he got so concerned about what was happening that he left the country, living abroad now.
	But anyway, to make a long story short, the fact is these things don't work.
	And this whole idea of bunching everybody up together to go through security, we've seen that used by terrorists when there really are terrorists.
	Instead of the figment of the government's imagination we've seen for the last 22 years?
	When there really are terrorists, and you have people in Muslim countries where you've got church members who are bunching up, they've got security because there's been so many attacks on people when they're in church, so they've got it cordoned off, and you have to go through security and, you know, show, you know, empty your pockets and all the rest of the stuff and metal detectors, and so the Muslims just go up and bomb the people at those security checkpoints.
	If there were any terrorist threats, the TSA would be making it worse.
	But Jim Bovard said, TSA decrees are wildly inconsistent, but every command is presumed to be sacrosanct.
	He said, flying out of Washington Dulles Airport the prior week, I was told to keep my laptop in my courier bag.
	Fine. But in Dallas, a TSA drill sergeant wannabe barked orders for everybody to remove their laptops and lay them out before sending them through the x-ray machines.
	TSA agents have been caught selling stolen laptops on eBay, so I try to keep my eye on my computer.
	But then he says, as I exited the scanner, the TSA supervisor said, we've got to do a supplemental pat-down.
	He said, what are you talking about? They said, well, we've got a problem.
	And he points to the picture, and he says, there was an illuminated thin line directly in front of my groin.
	I said, that's the zipper on my pants!
	This is why I try to be as uncooperative as I possibly can with these people.
	Anyway, something I had to go through an enhanced fact down anyway.
	And he said, as I left the checkpoint, I muttered something about TSA standing for too stupid for Arby's.
	And anyway, it wasn't my fault that TSA screeners failed to detect 95% of the test bombs and weapons during covert tests by federal inspectors.
	And by the way, nobody covered the fact that that was in there.
	It was interesting how we saw it.
	Again, Pacer.gov is where the government publishes all lawsuits.
	And so they were supposed to put up a redacted version of that document.
	And they put up the full unredacted version.
	And left it up for half a day.
	Realized their mistake.
	And then put the other one up, but it was too late.
	We had already gotten a snapshot of the unredacted document.
	And so we were able to see what they didn't want us to see.
	It was very nice of them to do that.
	They put big black bars over the stuff that they didn't want us to see.
	And so then we focused in on that.
	And that's where we see them saying that in 2011, there was no threat to airports or airplanes.
	And if there had been a threat, of course, 95% of these threats would have gotten through.
	So there aren't any, and we know that without even seeing that document, but nobody wants to talk about that.
	Everybody will talk, they'll do stories from AAA about how many people they think are going to be flying this year and that type of thing.
	A beefy young female agent hoisted my bag and carted it to the end of the checkpoint area.
	She was a final participant in the gauntlet of village idiocy that I had to pass through before reaching my plane.
	She summoned me to explain its contents and my depravity.
	She unzipped my bag and began pawing through it.
	In lieu of a machete, she found a small half-full jar of peanut butter.
	She said, you can't take liquids on a flight.
	He said, it's peanut butter.
	It's not liquid. It's liquid.
	And it's prohibited.
	Oh, yeah. Peanut butter bomb.
	The worst thing, the worst experience we ever had with TSA was when we were bringing back my daughter.
	Again, she didn't speak any English and she'd been with us for two weeks.
	We had to stay in the area before we could leave and But, you know, she didn't speak any.
	So before we left, we went through, in the town where we were staying, there was this massive, just massive place of, kind of like a flea market, but it was more industrialized, I guess.
	And, you know, the whole family went through it, and they had all kinds of models and toys and all kinds of things like that.
	Super cheap. But, you know, good quality stuff.
	The kids were younger then.
	They got some Gundam models and things like that.
	But anyway, Karen got a whole bunch of toys to keep her busy on the plane flight because she'd not been on a plane.
	There wasn't any way we could explain to her what was happening.
	And it was a very long flight.
	It flew us over the North Pole.
	But anyway, it was a very long flight.
	So to try to keep her occupied, she got a whole bunch of toys.
	And as we're there at the airport in China leaving on the PA system, they say, well, if you're going to Florida, if you're going to the U.S., you've got to get there early because we've got special enhanced security.
	We get treated worse than anybody else, American citizens, because of our own government.
	And so we had to go through extra screening, and when we're going through it, the TSA agents started pulling out all these toys and just saying, you can't take this, can't take that, can't take this, can't take that, just stealing them from us, stealing them from us.
	There's no security issue with these toys.
	And my daughter is looking at it.
	This little girl is like, oh, oh.
	Because she had not seen any of these things before.
	Karen had bought them on the sly.
	And talk about making us angry and disappointed.
	And then she cried, you know, for this entire flight back.
	Chatting with another jaded traveler as I put my boots back on after clearing the checkpoint, he asked if I was upset about losing my peanut butter.
	I smiled and I said, I'll settle accounts with the TSA later.
	And I think he just did.
	Let me read some of the things that people have.
	A lot of comments have come up here that I haven't gotten to yet.
	On Rumble, Rogue Statesman, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that tip. Thank you.
	Much love and prayers for all you do.
	Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
	And on Rockfin, Angus Mustang, thank you for the tip.
	I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, says Angus, and I hope everyone gets to enjoy the day with friends and family.
	Yes. Yes. Rumble.
	Rabid Roach says, Good for them.
	As a matter of fact, they have been hanging on to the family and other things like that in Poland.
	So maybe they will push back against some of this ID stuff and CBDC stuff that's rolling out.
	On Rockfin, Max B., thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, hope you and the family have a great holiday.
	I think I can speak for everyone in the chat.
	We're thankful and grateful for all the work you and Travis and Karen do to bring this.
	Well, thank you. That's really kind.
	Really kind. And so let's talk a little bit about what makes people happy when we come back.
	And, you know, give us some food for thought about what we're thankful for as we come to this holiday.
	It's a great, it's my favorite holiday, as a matter of fact, because of what it focuses on and what it invites us to think about.
	Of course, you know, we can think about these things at any time.
	But the fact that that is the center of it makes a difference.
	So we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	you Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.

	All right, welcome back, and stay on Rumble.
	Progress Retort. Thank you very much for the tip.
	He writes, Good morning, David.
	I wrote that email yesterday asking for prayers.
	Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you.
	Well, thank you for what you do.
	I appreciate that. And we will be praying for you, John.
	Let's talk about some of these shirts that we have on this Black Friday special.
	We have Gildan Dark Heather T-shirts.
	And this is the one that has the left chest logo.
	And it's a heather shirt with white print on it.
	And on the back, you see this logo of the David Knight Show.
	And it is 5.3 ounce unisex.
	Look at that. We have genderless shirts.
	How politically correct is that?
	Isn't that nice? Unisex shirts with a large logo on the back and a small left chest logo on the front.
	And that is, let me pull up the screen here.
	I've got this right here.
	Here's the t-shirt. A Gildan Dark Heather T-shirt only, $16.99 at thedavidknightshow.com as part of our Black Friday Super Sale.
	Get them while they're hot.
	Okay, that's my plug.
	Is that good, Karen?
	Let's talk about money.
	How much does it take to make you happy?
	They asked Americans.
	This was a poll that was put out.
	And it's kind of interesting, the results that came with this.
	You know, it makes us happy just to see some tips on mumble or the other things.
	We don't need this much. The average person thinks happiness can be bought for just over a million dollars.
	That's a study that found out that more than half of Americans, 59%, say they believe that money can buy happiness.
	And if it does, they say it costs around 1.2 million dollars.
	So, I guess that's inflation.
	You know, being a millionaire no longer does it.
	You've got to be a 1.2 millionaire.
	You go back and you look at everybody talking about millionaire this and millionaire that.
	Of course, that was about the time that they created the Federal Reserve before they devalued the currency.
	So, and when they look at it, the millennials say that they need a net worth of 1.7 million to be happy, and the boomers are saying 999,000.
	You know, we don't want to be greedy. We don't need to be a millionaire, but we get as close to it as we can.
	I think what we're seeing here is a difference in the perception of inflation.
	My parents were always behind in inflation when they'd look at it.
	They're thinking about the prices of things when they were kids or the prices of things, you know, in the early 1970s.
	And by the time you got to the late 1970s, we had that massive inflation because of people messing with the price of oil like Biden began his administration doing and continues to do.
	So, you know, that creates inflation in and of itself, in addition to the federal policies, the Federal Reserve policies.
	But they just couldn't keep up with that mindset, you know, of inflation.
	And so everything was, oh, I can't believe the price of this.
	I can't believe the price of that. So the boomers are only looking at $999,000 to make them happy.
	The millennials need $1.7 million.
	And I can say to the millennials that probably with inflation, $1.7 million ain't going to do it.
	It's going to be way more than that.
	So, fewer than one in five respondents, only 17%, said that financial happiness is defined by reaching a certain net worth.
	Around two-thirds associated financial happiness with an on-time bill payment and debt-free status.
	With regards to salary, the average price tag Americans put on happiness was $284,000 a year.
	Men's price point was quite a bit higher.
	Men said you needed $381,000.
	Women said they needed an average annual salary of $183,000.
	Maybe this is why we're not happy, because we have not attained these things.
	This is way out of line with what the average or certainly even the median income is.
	So, you know, when we put our expectations on these types of metrics, we're setting ourselves up for disappointment and unhappiness, aren't we?
	So again, millennials listed the highest salary point.
	They need $525,000 a year to be happy.
	And again, the boomers, you know, we've got our mind, our price points are set in the past, pre-inflation.
	$124,000 will do it for the boomers, but millennials want a half a million dollar salary.
	71% of respondents said having more money would solve most of their problems.
	Yeah, it's kind of interesting because I remember when we went through, we had a business that we built and then we were defrauded from it.
	I was talking to somebody at the time, you know, and he knew we were going through this economic issue.
	And And he had, his wife had been diagnosed with MS. And I was like, oh, I'm so sorry to hear that, you know.
	And he said, well, that's nothing compared to the, I'd much rather deal with health issues than with financial issues that you got.
	And I thought, you know, that's kind of interesting.
	God knows what we can handle, and He removes things from us, really as a loving Father, to train us in how to deal with circumstances that are not what we would want to have.
	And so for some people, it's going to be a health issue.
	For other people, it'll be a monetary issue.
	Or it might be something else. It might be some kind of an addiction thing.
	But, you know, I thought about that again when I was talking about that story with Hello, Dark and a Smile friend about the blind friend of Art Garfunkel.
	And the fact that Art was always there for him after he went blind, encouraged him to continue.
	The guy became a lawyer and then had not made much money.
	He was still a young guy, but he was the one who gave him almost all of his money.
	He and his wife had $404 in the bank.
	And Garfunkel said, you know, we need the money to do this album.
	How much do you need? $400.
	All right. He gave him $400 of the $404 that he had.
	And the story that he had, and he wrote a memo about it, as I talked about it, he said, Garfunkel was always there, and to identify with him, he called himself darkness.
	And so he would read to him, he would help him with his homework, he would guide him to different places, and then one day he left him alone, And Grand Central Station, and this guy's just had this horrible experience.
	He's bumping into things, you know, skinned his knee and all the rest of the stuff, bumped into a woman and all the rest.
	And he was furious that Garfunkel just walked away and abandoned him.
	And then when he gets back to the college campus, he realizes, you know, Garfunkel says something to him, he realizes that he was there watching him the entire time.
	And I said, isn't that so much like the way that it is with God?
	You know, we think that he's abandoned us because we've got health issues, we've got financial issues, and yet he's there all the time.
	All the time. And, um...
	Just like Garfunkel, you know, he's doing it to help us.
	So, with Biden inflation, the millennials may get their wish.
	They may all become millionaires.
	We had the joke in the 70s when inflation kicked in.
	You know, this guy has suspended animation.
	He comes back 50 years later and his bank account is still there.
	They haven't confiscated, which, of course, in real life they would have.
	But, you know, he's got all this money, millions of dollars and everything, and then he's got a payphone.
	And you remember those things?
	And then the operator says, please deposit another $50,000 for the next minute.
	It's not going to go anywhere.
	So, yeah, purchasing power ain't going to be there, but you may become millionaires.
	We may all become millionaires.
	But it's going to be the CBDC that can seize all of that money from you in a moment.
	And, you know, so again, thieves break in and steal.
	And speaking of money, you know, look at the millennials who think they need to have a net worth of $1.7 million.
	They may be underestimating that because that won't even buy Napoleon's hat.
	Napoleon's hat. Just sold at auction for over $2 million in France.
	A hat that was once worn by Napoleon Bonaparte.
	Now, it's not clear to me, was that his daily headgear or did he wear it once?
	You know, it's things like George Washington slept here.
	The winner remains anonymous and will be forced to pay a 28.8% commission fee.
	So bring the total of the hat to $2.1 million.
	If you can pull that up, Travis, the picture of those two guys on either side of the hat.
	And it looks absolutely huge.
	It is absolutely amazing how big that is.
	And I don't know, maybe he had a large head to go with his large ego, or maybe that was part of his Napoleon complex where he had, look at that.
	Yeah. Either those are two very small people, or that is one gigantic hat.
	And again, it tells us a great deal about Napoleon, doesn't it?
	And he was not all hat and no cattle.
	He did have quite a bit of cattle that he used, people, you know, that he used.
	But that's an expression in Texas, all hat and no cattle.
	Well, he had a big hat, and it's a big price tag, $2.1 million.
	And millennials don't even aspire to being able to own a hat like that.
	None of us do. Eric Clapton, by the way, had a guitar that sold for $1.27 million.
	So it's less than the nappy hat that's there.
	So we also have, in terms of shrinkflation, Oreos are shrinking.
	And so this is going around the Internet.
	You have people saying, this is a sign of the times.
	This is the way the world is now.
	They raised the price and they shrunk the amount of cream on the Oreos.
	And again, the millennial heirs, I guess we could call them, the millennials who want to be millionaires, we call them millennial heirs.
	And they will not even be able to get the kind of Oreos that we all took for granted.
	An Oreo with sufficient cream will be virtually unattainable in the future, I guess.
	And if you think junk food is shrinking, you need to take a look at your junk dollar, because it's really shrinking.
	That's one of the reasons why you should put some of your money in gold, but it's really the CBDC that you need to be careful about.
	And we'll talk a little bit more about that when we come back.
	But again, davidknight.gold will take you to Tony Arterman.
	And we'll be doing a rebroadcast tomorrow, so Tony will not be on with us.
	And I waited too late to think about that, and so he's got other plans today.
	He could not change it to today, but...
	DavidKnight.gold will take you to Tony Arterman's WiseWolf.gold.
	And you can do something to make sure that even though you may not be able to buy Oreos with a lot of cream in them, you'll still be able to get outside of the CBDC net and you'll be able to keep up with inflation.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

	APS Radio News
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Oh.
	All right, as everybody's trying to figure out what it takes to make us happy, and of course, the money, how much money do you need?
	Well, it takes a lot more money to make the federal government happy than it takes for us.
	Massive money printing is going to be coming in 2024.
	It's not just Gerald Salenti saying this now.
	You've got a lot of banks and investors and investment advisors who are now saying, you know, we have the election coming up.
	And they're going to start showering us with cash one way or the other to make everybody happy for the election.
	And so, Preston Pish warns that the Federal Reserve could surprise markets next year with massive money printing during an election year.
	This is virtually a given.
	And Gerald Slenty has been saying this for quite some time.
	By the way, Gerald Slenty is Trends Journal at TrendsJournal.com.
	He'll give you 10% off if you use the code KNIGHT. And he's been ahead of this game for a very long time.
	Understanding that they're going to use COVID to push in digital CBDC. Talking about the economic crash and chaos that's being precipitated by the stimulus checks and the lockdowns, how that was going to cause a crash in commercial real estate, that was going to cause a crash in banks, as well as the fact that we see this pattern.
	That's something that is way ahead of other people, but most people understand that the government is going to do everything it can to do giveaways to make people happy.
	You just saw this in Argentina.
	You got a guy who is a libertarian economist, and he's talking about, well, we got to cut down a lot of these programs and things like that.
	So the guy that he was running against, who was a socialist in charge of their...
	He was a minister of finance in a country where they have 150% inflation.
	I think he's a certified failure.
	But that guy decides that even with 150% inflation...
	They are going to add some new programs to give away things to people and cut taxes and all the rest of this stuff.
	And that's what they always do in an election.
	With just over one month left of the year, Wall Street is very much divided over the likelihood of a recession and how the Federal Reserve will react to it.
	On the one hand, you have Goldman Sachs that is relatively optimistic.
	They only think that there's a 15% chance of a contraction in the U.S. economy next year.
	But then on the other hand, Morgan Stanley and UBS are saying that there will be a recession, and it will be followed by rate cuts as early as the first half of this year.
	UBS is not ruling out a rate cut as early as March, with cuts amounting to 275 basis points next year.
	They're saying the Fed is going to get really aggressive in terms of lowering rates as they got really aggressive in terms of raising them.
	And when you look at these whiplash moves in the interest rates, that's one of the things that caused a crisis for the small, even for big banks.
	And so it's going to be something that's going to be a real issue for a lot of banks as well as for a lot of people.
	It's going to be this whiplash going back and forth.
	The thing few acknowledge is that we're not necessarily operating in a free and open market, said Pish.
	And depending on the speed and the size of the response from the central banks, you can get interesting things which will happen.
	Do they show up because it's an election year with so much dry powder of monetary units?
	Considering that it's an election year, the speed of the response is going to be much faster, much swifter, with a lot more magnitude of fiat printing than what you would get in a non-election year.
	In other words, election year, election year, election year.
	And the fact that, you know, we've never seen them, not only, you know, the first time that they burst the bubble that they'd created in 2008, you know, the real estate bubble they created, they burst it in 2008.
	How did they do it? Well, they had 25 basis points or a quarter of a percentage jump Like every month, you know, like a little stair step until they burst the bubble.
	Then they dropped it down to zero and kept it there for a long time to make an even bigger bubble.
	And then we had, over the last year, as you know, they started jumping it up, though, not by a quarter of a percent, not by 25 basis points, but by 75 basis points.
	Never seen that before. And so that's whiplashing the economy, and as people are starting to react to it, and of course we would have had a lot more reaction except for the Hopi happy news about artificial intelligence driving the stock market.
	And so now he says, oh, they're going to cut it, and UBS thinks they're going to cut it as well.
	They might cut like 2.75% off of the interest rate.
	That would be huge. And the people who haven't been able to buy or sell houses will be able to buy or sell houses for a little window there.
	Oh, this is great. Biden's not that bad after all.
	Let's give him another second term or we'll put Lala in.
	That's what this is all about.
	They're just going to really break something catastrophically, says Pish, because of so much manipulation that is taking place.
	He sees a massive deflationary wave followed by COVID-level type stimulus.
	And by double-digit inflation.
	And when the government admits that they've got double-digit inflation, then you've got a real problem.
	Because they're typically way, way, way under more than half of what the actual inflation rate is.
	They're going to be at a critical point with the reverse repo facility come January and February.
	Repo market. As a matter of fact, yeah, that's another thing.
	Going back into the fall of 2019, before this stuff happened, they were messing with the repo market.
	And Celine and I were talking about it then.
	During the first quarter of 2024, things will get really spicy.
	And they will have to do some type of a response.
	Well, yeah, politics is what this is really all about.
	The Fed hikes may have concluded as the central banks purchase gold at a record level.
	So again, this is another article talking about how, with the Federal Reserve, no longer going to war with the dollar, as Tony Arterman puts it, you know, raising the interest rates.
	And look, that hasn't taken down gold.
	It's been able to withstand this rapid rise.
	Really unprecedented how quickly they have raised interest rates.
	And it hasn't done anything to the price of gold.
	And so now, as they have stopped with the rate hikes, and people are pretty much, yeah, it's not going to happen.
	People are now saying, well, how much are they going to lower it?
	Are they going to lower it? Two and three quarters percent.
	So central banks are looking at this.
	And central banks are coming to the same conclusion as this guy was just talking about.
	They're buying gold at record levels.
	Evidently, they all agree with...
	They all see it the same way.
	Even the Dutch Central Bank is saying, we're buying up gold to prepare for a new gold standard.
	If there is a financial crisis, the gold price will skyrocket.
	And official gold reserves can be used to underpin a new gold standard, according to the Dutch National Bank, the Central Bank of the Netherlands.
	By saying that gold will be a safe haven of choice during a financial collapse, DNB, the Dutch National Bank, confesses that its own currency, the euro, again, you know, like I said, the central banks, I don't know, they have their, you know, maybe in the Netherlands they don't, maybe it's just the euro, maybe they just manipulate interest rates.
	But they're saying that their own currency, the euro, will not weather all the storms.
	And they're also saying the DMV, the Dutch National Bank, is also encouraging people to own gold to be protected from financial shocks.
	Wow, that's a novel idea.
	You mean you've got a government out there that's giving people advice on things that they should do rather than telling them exactly the opposite?
	The Netherlands are trying to kill the food supply and the farmers, but they're telling people to get gold?
	That's kind of odd.
	That's the oddest thing about this whole story.
	So they're encouraging people to own gold, to be protected from financial shocks, to make the transition toward a gold-based monetary system more likely to So this person who wrote this article, I can't pronounce his name, but you can find this on Zero Hedge.
	And he said, I wrote an article recently about this.
	He said, Europe, the title of the article was, Europe has been preparing for a global gold standard since the 1970s.
	He said, my analysis was pieced together by scarce quotes from central banks and from data of European gold and foreign exchange holdings.
	My conclusion was that several medium-sized economies in Europe, that is the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, several of the medium-sized economies sold large amounts of gold from the 1990s to 2008.
	To come on par with France, Germany, and Italy.
	He said, I wrote, seemingly there are guidelines in the Eurozone for national central banks to hold an appropriate amount of gold relative to their GDP. In another article, I revealed that in the early 1990s, the People's Bank of China was buying the gold that the Dutch National Bank was selling in the 1990s.
	By selling gold, Europe was allowing developing countries to buy gold and to come on par with the West, and China, too, has expressed its desire to bring its gold holdings more in line with the size of its economy, just like the Europeans, and thus to international averages.
	So he said, and he quotes a Dutch newspaper in 1993, China announced it's working to build up its gold reserves in order to bring it more in line with the size of Chinese GDP. So he's looking at this and he says, I'm seeing them kind of leveling this out and normalizing their gold holdings.
	According to the size of their gross domestic product, and it's happening not just in Europe, but even with China as well.
	He says, another sign of Europe having prepared for a new gold arrangement is the repatriation of gold by several countries.
	In the Eurozone, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Austria repatriated and redistributed bullion for security reasons.
	While keeping a substantial share of their assets in liquid markets such as London.
	Additionally, Germany, France and Sweden that we know of have upgraded gold bars that did not adhere to current wholesale industry standards.
	So now all of their metal can be traded instantly.
	Last but not least, he says, European Central Bank's communications about gold have become unequivocally clear and candid, stating, quote, gold is the bedrock of stability for the international monetary system.
	That was Germany. Gold is an excellent hedge against adversity.
	That's a quote from the Italian Central Bank.
	The French Central Bank says gold is considered to be the ultimate store of wealth.
	And gold may play a stabilizing role in times of structural changes.
	In the international financial system, or in deep geopolitical crises, says Hungary.
	Do you think that we are in a time where there's going to be intentional structural changes in the financial system?
	Well, yes. I mean, when you go back and you look at the March 2022 order from Joe Biden, Telling everybody in the deep state, everybody in the executive branch, all these bureaucracies that work for them, he set it up in four different areas, and one of those areas was completely restructuring the financial system.
	Then it was also, you know, how are we going to implement it?
	How are we going to enforce it?
	So he got the law enforcement people involved.
	Why do you have to enforce, legally enforce, some new currency?
	Because it's going to be imposed without our wishes.
	CBDC, that's what he was talking about.
	So everybody look at how you're going to do it.
	First of all, the CBDC is going to be a complete restructuring of the financial system.
	We need some people to write the code to do that.
	But then we need people who are going to enforce it on the Americans who don't want it.
	And then the fourth issue was, how are we going to sell it to everybody?
	Oh, climate change.
	Look at the environmental problems associated with crypto, our big competitor that's going to be there.
	Well, this is a time of intentional structural changes in the financial system and internationally, and it's also being organized by these same people to be a time of deep geopolitical crises.
	So as the Hungarian Central Bank says, gold plays a stabilizing role during these unstable periods, periods that are unstable because of what they're doing.
	This person said, these are remarkable statements from entities that are tasked with guaranteeing financial stability.
	But they're tasked with guaranteeing financial stability for their governments and for themselves.
	You, on the other hand, are tasked with guaranteeing financial stability for yourself.
	And so that's one of the reasons why I'm really happy to work with Tony.
	Again, he set up the website davidknight.gold to help you provide Financial stability for yourself.
	To help you provide financial privacy for yourself.
	So there'll be some things that you can buy even if the government doesn't want you to be able to buy things.
	And that is a real big issue for me.
	Having been kicked off of PayPal and these other things, I see this coming.
	It's already coming for people who are outspoken.
	It's going to be coming for everybody, though.
	I'm sorry, you've had too much meat this month.
	We're tracking all this stuff.
	Well, we've got some gold and silver.
	And you know some farmers who want to deal in a gray market?
	Well, then you can do that type of thing.
	And I'm very encouraged by the fact that the war on drugs has failed for 52 years.
	If you can't stop people from buying drugs that we know are harmful, what about food that we know is helpful?
	You think you're going to be able to stop that?
	There's going to be a lot of people who are going to look the other way with that.
	And, you know, they'll probably do it for a cut of meat themselves.
	And, you know, it was, as a matter of fact, one of the guys that I've interviewed in the past, I forget what his name was.
	He was a Christian missionary. He was in Romania.
	And he said he was there when things were really tough with the Shichescu regime.
	And he said the people in the cities were starving.
	But he said out in the rural areas the farmers had plenty of food and they left them alone.
	He said the reason they left them alone was because the Stasi police and all the rest of these people and the politicians wanted to be able to eat themselves.
	And so he said if you had something that you could barter with for these farmers and everything, he said, you know, they ate well and they were left alone so they could grow some food.
	But the people in cities, you know, because of the distribution system and everything like that was broken because of the authoritarian government, you had to be able to get this stuff on the outside.
	That's the world that is coming.
	We don't have to fear that world, but we should prepare for it.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about Thanksgiving, so stay with us.
	Thanksgiving In
	a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

	All right. And we have, I'll tell you another item.
	We have a special item.
	As mentioned before, we have our tumbler, which is on Black Friday Super Stale.
	The 16-ounce Koozie Double Wall Tumbler.
	And it's got a rubber rise bottom so that it is scratch-free and noise-free.
	And leak-proof, and it'll keep it warm for hours.
	That is on sale.
	We also have our T-shirt.
	The Gildan Dark Heather T-shirt with a large logo on the back.
	That's the one that looks like this.
	And if I see that correctly.
	And it has a logo on the left chest.
	And then we also have this.
	We have a pen, a pen that is always at the front of my desk.
	There it is right there. Laser engraved pen on a Black Friday super sale there at thedavidknightshow.com.
	I love the description that Karen gave me here.
	This is a plunge action mechanism.
	Wow, that's special.
	I think that's the way most pens work, but plunge action mechanism.
	It is aluminum construction, matte silver finish, and a black dot accent on the clip.
	And you can get that right now for the Black Friday special.
	Let's talk a little bit about Thanksgiving.
	And as we look at Black Friday again, some people are saying, well, this isn't really the thing that makes or breaks a business anymore.
	I guess what makes or breaks a business is whether or not you've got a store in San Francisco.
	But it's sales every day there.
	You know, just grab everything that you can.
	But it's the typically, you know, the holiday season has been what has made companies put them in the black.
	In other words, in profit column rather than in the red, which is a deficit.
	I mean, red states.
	You don't want to be in a red state when it comes to the accounting people.
	But Macy's, the department store, they are now going for an untraditional Thanksgiving Day parade.
	And you've got a lot of people who are boycotting them, hoping for a miracle on 34th Street, I guess.
	But there isn't Santa working there anymore.
	Instead, you've got people who really don't like families and don't like kids because they're pushing this transgender thing.
	The Marxist march through the institutions, yes, that includes Macy's.
	All of these have been taken over.
	Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, a traditional holiday season kickoff staple for many Americans to watch.
	I haven't watched TV for a long time.
	Anyway, I know of it.
	It is suddenly going untraditional, and they're promoting LGBT lifestyle choices and ideology.
	That's a good way to put it, because it is an ideology.
	It's a religion. It is the ideology of being anti-parental rights.
	And pro-child mutilation agenda.
	According to a report in the Washington Stand, the event this year is to feature promotions of two Broadway musicals that have bought into the transgender agenda.
	And both of these have key actors who identify as transgender or non-binary.
	At least 36,000 people have pledged to boycott Macy's.
	One Million Moms has put up a protest site or something like that.
	I don't know. I guess maybe you can buy things online from Macy's, which would be how this goes.
	But to protest and for them sponsoring this kind of entertainment.
	So what is it that these actors are about?
	Well, one person, Justin David Sullivan.
	Who identifies as non-binary and uses all pronouns.
	So he's pan-pronounish, I guess.
	He's pan pronoun.
	He will perform portions of this Broadway show called And Juliet.
	Instead of Romeo and Juliet, they just cut out Romeo.
	Because you know we hate guys.
	That's just like this woman.
	This young girl, I should say.
	Steven Spielberg had her play Maria in his remake of West Side Story, which I didn't see.
	And then Disney got her to play the remake of Snow White, which I know I will not see.
	And she's out there saying, yeah, reimagine this.
	We don't need Prince Charming.
	It's just so creepy how he's stalking her.
	It's like he's stalking her?
	Just, you know, and so now they cut out Romeo from Romeo and Juliet and their play.
	They reimagine the Shakespearean play as if, what if Juliet had not committed suicide over Romeo?
	And what if she, quote, ditched her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love?
	Dash, her way.
	Her way. You mean without a man?
	Or maybe her way as a man.
	Maybe she takes Romeo's place.
	Maybe she gets his clothes and she becomes a man.
	I don't know. She identifies as a Romeo.
	And then you have the other guy who's going to be celebrated in this Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
	This other guy is Alex Newell, who says he's a female.
	And he plays a female in a Broadway show called Shucked.
	You know, isn't it a shame that Broadway didn't stay closed?
	Just turn the lights out and keep them out.
	So One Million Moms said, this is liberal nonsense.
	We still cannot trust Macy's.
	They had a trans pop star several years ago, but now they're back in spades here with us.
	An organization, she said, that opposes the degradation of society.
	One Million Moms.
	They oppose the degradation of society through events such as MTV Music Awards, which feature, quote, scantily clad performers and sexually suggestive choreography to the report.
	Well, you know, MTV has been that way from its inception.
	As I said before, MTV has essentially destroyed music.
	By making it all about sexualization and, you know, getting attractive young people to dance in a sexual way and having them auto-tuned.
	They don't have to be able to sing, right?
	And that's what's really happened to pop music.
	They've auto-tuned it out of existence, but they've added heavy doses of sexuality.
	And that all came through MTV. So...
	Senior Fellow for Educational Studies at the Family Research Council said, listen to this.
	This is, I think, an indication of the sad state of America.
	Because this person, Senior Fellow for Educational Studies at the Family Research Council, said, I hope there's a dog show or something possibly appropriate for family viewing on broadcast TV that day.
	What am I going to do if TV doesn't have something to entertain me?
	Well, at the Family Research Council, maybe you ought to start thinking about doing your own programming.
	How about creating your own activities and creating your own things to do to spend time with your family and use it as an opportunity to teach them?
	You know, in Deuteronomy 6, God says, you know, as you walk with your family in the way, Tell them about me.
	Show them about this.
	Wouldn't that be great on a day that we stop and think about God and what he has done for us and how we're thankful for that?
	Wouldn't that be an opportunity to do that instead of, well, what's on television?
	Nothing. Oh, I can't believe it.
	You know, there's not even a dog show I can watch.
	There's so much to talk to with the kids about God on Thanksgiving Day.
	And you can also talk to them about the founding of this country.
	And you can tell them the true story about the founding of this country.
	You can tell them the truth about God.
	And, you know, instead of...
	Because you know they're going to be hit with all these Marxist lies all the time, all this, you know, DEI, or I like to call it D-I-E, the stuff that is killing our society.
	So, maybe the Family Research Council ought to understand that the way that you oppose these attacks on the family...
	It's by being a family, right?
	You can't win the culture war if you don't have culture.
	And you can't beat the attacks on the family if you don't build a family.
	It's just a given.
	I don't understand why that is so hard for people to understand.
	By all means, boycott.
	I can't boycott Macy's because I never watched him in the first place.
	I can't boycott Bud Light because I'd never drank it in the first place.
	Or the people that were giving them money.
	This is what is so frustrating in my life.
	It's like, oh, I don't use that.
	I don't watch that anyway, so I can't give it up.
	But for the people who are doing it, give up your dog show.
	How about that? If you can find one on cable.
	So then we have Martha Stewart.
	The quote-unquote queen of thanksgiving, as she's called by the Washington Examiner.
	She says she is turkeyed out this year, and she is canceling her turkey dinner this year.
	Martha Stewart, Known for her domestic goddess expertise, says the Washington Examiner, for her expertise in managing a home and hospitality, made a surprising announcement about her Thanksgiving plans.
	I gave up Thanksgiving.
	We are not doing Thanksgiving.
	Well, again, you know, just like this person at the Family Research Council, there's more about Thanksgiving than the turkey or the food or these superficial things, isn't it?
	And when I saw that, Martha Stewart made me think about the story of Jesus visiting Lazarus' household and his sisters, Mary and Martha.
	Remember that? They were hosting Jesus, and Mary was very thankful for Jesus being there.
	And she sat at his feet.
	She listened to what he had to say.
	And I didn't realize that Martha's last name was Stewart.
	Yeah. The other sister is not interested in that.
	As a matter of fact, the other sister gets very upset with Jesus, and she says, I'm doing all this work.
	My sister's left me alone to serve everybody that's here.
	I've got a big crowd here, and I'm the one that has to do the turkey and all the rest of the stuff, or whatever they were eating.
	And tell her to help me.
	Martha Stewart says, tell Mary to help me.
	And so Jesus says, Martha, you're really worried and troubled about a lot of different things here, aren't you?
	And he said, but one thing is needed.
	And Mary has chosen that.
	And that is something that is better.
	And that is something that cannot be taken from her.
	Maybe that's what we should be looking for this Thanksgiving.
	Rather than being a Martha Stewart.
	Look at all this work I'm going through.
	That's it. I'm done. I'm resigning.
	I'm not cooking another thing.
	Yeah, don't stress yourself out for Thanksgiving.
	Don't be a Martha Stewart.
	She says, I've already cooked up 14 turkeys for my TV show.
	And I'm turkeyed out.
	Those friends...
	And so I told my friends, I'm canceling it.
	Don't come. And so the person who was interviewing her says, well, they must be stressed out.
	She says, well, I hope so.
	So, you know, don't want any of these friends around.
	I don't want the turkey. I don't want the friends to come over.
	She's going to do her version, she said, of a pub crawl.
	She's going to visit five different homes for Thanksgiving dinner.
	Well, that could be really dangerous for her health.
	You know, that's the problem.
	One of the big problems with Thanksgiving is that we overeat.
	But to go to five of these Thanksgiving dinners on one day, that's like a new record for calories, I guess, unless she's just going to come in and do a white glove inspection of what they're doing.
	Can you imagine... What these poor people, these poor women in these five different homes, what they're going through and what they're telling their husband, but I got Martha Stewart is coming.
	This is going to be perfect. They're freaking out trying to get everything in just the right place because Martha Stewart is coming for dinner and they're troubled by many things, as Jesus would say.
	Upon hearing the news, Olivia Craighead, the cut, said, can you imagine the pressure on these homes?
	So send your thoughts and prayers to the women of Bedford, New York.
	Their entire social standing is going to rest on their green bean casserole.
	So we don't want to make it about that.
	So what do we do? You know, what do we do for Thanksgiving?
	As I said... You know, it's an opportunity for us to talk to our kids and talk to our family members and things like that.
	But 61% of them don't want to talk politics on Thanksgiving.
	Well, it's fine. Don't talk politics.
	Politics, by the way, is downstream of culture.
	That's an article from Breitbart.
	They don't mention that in their article, but that's what Andrew Breitbart used to always say.
	He said, politics is downstream from culture.
	It's one of the reasons why, you know, he would always cover movies and other things like that, cultural stuff there.
	Andrew Breitbart knew Matt Drudge.
	They were friends in California.
	And so, you know, Matt Drudge does a lot of that stuff as well.
	Only now he, you know, is very much on the left side of that.
	But politics is downstream from culture.
	But culture is downstream from religion.
	So, you know, it's more controversial maybe.
	But it's worth talking about.
	You know, politics is not necessarily worth talking about except to understand what these people are doing.
	But, you know, religion really does matter.
	That has eternal consequences.
	The politics may have huge consequences for this lifetime, but religion is going to have eternal consequences.
	So that's a discussion worth having.
	A Quinnipiac University poll said 61% of people hope to avoid talking about politics at all during the holiday celebrations.
	The survey also asked if there are ever arguments about politics at your Thanksgiving celebration.
	75% of the people said no.
	19% said yes.
	So that leaves another 6% who are undecided.
	And since they don't know anything about politics or religion or anything else, they just sat there.
	I don't know. They talk turkey, I guess.
	But it's always the undecided.
	And I guess they are at peace.
	On Thanksgiving Day, just contemplating the turkey.
	Democrats were the ones who most likely have political arguments about their Thanksgiving celebration.
	What a surprise.
	Meathead. Who's coming to dinner?
	Meathead. Yeah, isn't it interesting when you look at Reiner, And you realize that he was not acting at all.
	And all in the family is Meathead opposite Archie Bunker.
	That's just who he is.
	He's out there yelling and screaming at people who say they're going to run as third-party candidates.
	You're going to destroy the country and all the rest of this stuff.
	He's just... So you can imagine if you had somebody like him, you know, you would have arguments at the table.
	Republicans, about 18% of them say that there's political arguments.
	24% of Democrats, 18% of Republicans.
	Independents, 15%.
	And again, you know, the undecided have no arguments over politics because they decided anything matters.
	They don't know anything that's going on.
	And then you have Joe Biden as he pardoned the turkeys at the White House, which they always do for Thanksgiving.
	And this story from Breitbart kind of jabs him for not knowing the difference between Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, and Beyonce.
	And for once, I can put myself in Joe Biden's place and excuse it, because I don't know the difference between them either.
	So he was talking about pardoning the turkeys.
	They called them Liberty and Bell.
	He said they had to beat some tough odds and some competition to get here.
	You know, they had to show patience and be willing to travel over 1,000 miles.
	Just imagine, you know, when they had to go through TSA. Turkey Security Agency.
	And they asked them not why they're crossing the road, but why they're crossing the country.
	They start doing their Mitch McConnell impersonations.
	But anyway, he went on with this.
	He said, you know, it's harder than getting a ticket to the Renaissance tour.
	And Breitbart says, well, that's seemingly referring to Beyonce's tour.
	But then he stammered on and muttered, or, or, Britney's tour.
	She's down in, it's kind of warm in Brazil right now, isn't it?
	He must have seen something about the article about Taylor Swift fan dying in the heat in Brazil.
	And so, that must be Britney that's down there.
	And so, who's he talking about?
	We don't really know. But again, I can relate to Joe.
	I wouldn't know any of these people.
	I certainly wouldn't know any of their songs.
	Only one of the songs are the three of them that I've ever heard.
	I've heard one song, a Taylor Swift song, because I wanted to compare it to the Johnny Cash cover for Artificial Intelligence that that guy did.
	I listened to it and it's like, wow, that really does sound like Johnny Cash.
	And so I wanted to get a reference to the original one, so I looked up Taylor Swift's song, which I thought was amply named Blank Space.
	And it was this auto-tuned garbage, and I just listened to just a little bit of it and went back and listened to the Johnny Cash artificial intelligence.
	It was much better, much more lifelike, actually, than her auto-tuned thing.
	So again, I don't know, but you know, and then in this article, You know, they talk about the fact that Taylor Swift had the concert in Brazil where a fan died of the heat, 23-year-old.
	And they show, pull it up, Travis, if you can, and show the letter there from Taylor Swift that she put out to her fans.
	I can't believe I'm writing these words, but it's with a shattered heart and so forth.
	And so, you know, it's nice that she puts it up.
	But I looked at this and it's like, it looks like a handwritten note, doesn't it?
	Except it's not a handwritten note.
	Look at the characters, and each one of them, you know, every Y is the same, and every I is the same, and every E is the same, exactly.
	So it's a font that looks like a handwritten thing.
	Why is it necessary for her to do that?
	You either do a handwritten thing or just type it up, you know?
	Anyway, so maybe she could feed this into a computer and have it write a song for her.
	Or maybe even have it sing the song that it writes for her.
	That's... What I guess is going to come up.
	You know, she's got a lot of lyrics there.
	She could, you know, turn that into a song.
	And so when we look at Thanksgiving, this is a thing that, you know, sometimes we'll say, well, this is uniquely American.
	It's not uniquely American.
	We have some other countries that celebrate it in various forms.
	And so not necessarily at this time or not necessarily in this way or for these reasons, you know, that fall back into our history.
	But there are other countries that celebrate Thanksgiving.
	Thanksgiving was started after being brought over by whaling ships from America and Canada.
	It's kind of an American influence there that perhaps got that started.
	A lot of them are tied into harvest seasons and things like that.
	It's also a lot of people say there's really only two countries.
	The only other country that celebrates Thanksgiving the same way that America does or for the same reasons is Liberia.
	Which has been dominated by freed slaves.
	You know, it was one of the things the founders, when they looked at slavery, as Jefferson said, we've got a wolf by the ears.
	What do we do with this?
	And some of it was, I think, maybe self-deception in terms of, you know, having a, well, I can't really free them because how would they survive that type of thing?
	A kind of misplaced paternalism.
	Saying there's going to be people out to get them and that type of thing.
	And they've been, you know, dependent on us to take care of them.
	So, you know, it was like, well, what do we do with it?
	Well, some of them said, well, let's put them back in Africa, you know, put them back.
	And so they essentially created the state Liberia of liberated slaves.
	And the descendants of those former slaves in America pretty much...
	I've been in charge of that country ever since.
	And one of the things that they did was to institute a very American style of Thanksgiving there in Liberia.
	In Grenada, they have a Thanksgiving holiday that is held on October the 21st.
	It isn't related at all to thankfulness or even to harvests.
	That's the day that the U.S.-led invasion occurred in 1983.
	So I guess they're saying that they're thankful the Americans are gone.
	Yeah. Well, that they survived the invasion of Grenada.
	And so, again, in Liberia, they started doing it in the 1800s as they were freed into Liberia.
	They even celebrated in honor of the pilgrims.
	That we're starting in America.
	In the Netherlands, rather, they talk about the pilgrims that went to the New World.
	And a lot of people include Germany.
	In the middle of their Oktoberfest, they'll have like a harvest festival there.
	But a lot of these things, like I said, a lot of them are harvest festivals.
	Some of the harvest festivals can be pagan festivals to...
	To Mother Earth or to the Sun God or something like that.
	So, you know, the things that's different about America is that it is really focused more so, the first ones were thankfulness because of harvest and food, but then it became thankfulness for God's provision and protection and things like that.
	It became more and more focused on God, although now we are turning in the other direction.
	In Canada, they say, well, we had a proclamation in 1957, and this is Governor General Vincent Massey, and called it a day of general thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canadians have been blessed,
	and kind of referred back to A harvest festival that was back in 1578 that the Canadians had.
	So they said, see, we were first. We're not copying what you're doing.
	So whatever. I mean, it isn't really about any of that.
	But it is about looking to God and acknowledging His blessing in our life and what He's done for us.
	And that has been a thing that has been a bigger feature in the American Thanksgiving than in most of the other countries.
	As I was saying, in Australia, some of the stuff was brought in by Americans.
	They'll have sometimes two Thanksgivings there.
	They'll have one in the summer, what we say is the summer, because that's actually their winter.
	Japan even does one.
	But Japan, it's like a Labor Day thing.
	You know, Christianity and things like that are really not a big part of Japanese culture.
	And so, usually a harvest-type celebration.
	But I thought it was interesting.
	You know, there's a lot of people talked about, well, what is Thanksgiving really about?
	What is its history? What are we really doing with it?
	J. Warner Wallace, who I've interviewed, has cold case Christianity.
	He was a detective looking at cold cases.
	And so he talked about why, when he was challenged, why he, when his wife challenged him, he looked at, well, I'll disprove this.
	And then he looked at it, and it's like, well, no, I actually...
	That does fit. What these people are saying, as we talked about earlier, as people are getting to the end of their life and they want to talk about what they saw about the JFK assassination, or they retire and they want to talk about the war of drugs by the CIA and how that is crooked, or they want to talk about 9-11 or something like that.
	They want to unburden themselves from that.
	And so... In the same way, you know, he looked at this as a cold case detective, and he says, you know, we got a lot of these people, these martyrs.
	Martyr was the Greek word for witness.
	These were witnesses who were eyewitnesses to what had happened with Christ.
	And as they were undergoing persecution, they were given the choice of recanting this and saying, now we lied, made it up.
	Or they would die.
	That's a really powerful thing, that somebody would die rather than recanting what they had seen.
	You know, look at all these people who were intimidated about the JFK assassination, or about 9-11.
	And, you know, some of them, some witnesses were killed in these events as well, who were not intimidated, and they were killed.
	But it is a very, when somebody's willing to put their life on the line, and when somebody gives testimony and they're killed, that is a very powerful statement.
	And a lot of people don't really understand that.
	I got a letter from somebody and it says, well, what is all this stuff?
	The Bible. It's just a bunch of story fables that people put together.
	No, that's not how we got the Bible.
	You know, we talk about on Thanksgiving, we talk about God's providence, but of course there is the provenance of the Bible.
	How did it come to us?
	Who did it come from?
	Oh, well, you know, this is just made-up stories about Jesus who was a good moral teacher.
	Well, then the people who put together all these made-up fables...
	About morality, then they were liars.
	Is that consistent with that?
	And do we have all these people who went to their death, who saw this stuff?
	No, that doesn't make any sense.
	Anyway, Warner Wallace says the pilgrims who came over from England in the 1620s were in many ways just ordinary men and women.
	They had left their homeland.
	Put themselves into this, you know, everything, all their possessions.
	They had nothing. They had nothing.
	You know, talk about Ellis Island.
	Well, people coming to Ellis Island, many of them had nothing.
	But the people who came as pilgrims, they really had nothing.
	They had a lot of their stuff stolen as they were trying to escape England.
	They fled their homeland so they could pursue God in the way that they wanted to be true to the teachings of the Bible.
	The Mayflower, you know, we had a lot of people who came, as I've said before, you know, people coming here now are in many ways, I think, coming for free stuff because we're bribing them to come.
	We're using the welfare state as a magnet.
	Democrats want to do that so they can bankrupt the country.
	But I said, you know, a hundred years ago, when people talk about the Ellis Island experience, they were not coming for financial reasons.
	They were coming because they wanted to be free.
	Now, maybe their long-term plan was that they would, if they were free, they were going to be free to work and save and to get wealthier than they were where they were.
	They were stifled.
	But nevertheless, they were not coming for a welfare state because there wasn't any welfare There wasn't any social safety net.
	They were risking everything. And clearly the pilgrims who came were risking everything, but they weren't doing it for money.
	They were doing it for religious liberty.
	The Mayflower held more than just separatist Puritans who wanted to get away from the official state church in England.
	The ship also contained other pilgrims who still remained loyal to the Church of England.
	But they came to the New World, some of them for economic reasons, or because they sympathized with the Puritans in one way or the other.
	But one thing was certain about everybody on the ship.
	Whether they were part of the Puritan group or simply along to assist them and to make a new life for themselves, everybody shared a fervent and pervasive Protestant faith that permeated all aspects of their life.
	So when the pilgrims made ground at Plymouth Rock, December 11, 1620, they were also grounded in their faith as Christians.
	So that's one of the reasons why they came up with the 1619 Project, to try to undercut the true founding of America.
	Because America was founded for people who wanted religious liberty, which also conveys as free speech and other things like that, because you can't have religious liberty if you don't have free speech also.
	And so they wanted to cut down all those things.
	They wanted to cut down the foundation of America.
	So they come up with this, invent their new version of history, 1619 Project, which is total garbage, total invention.
	But they were grounded in their faith as Christians.
	In less than a year, they had lost 46 people Out of 102 members.
	But they never lost their faith.
	At the end of the harvest of 1621, the pilgrims decided to celebrate.
	The pilgrims brought with them both religious and secular customs from their homeland, and among those customs were the tradition of secular harvest festival and a tradition of religious holy days of Thanksgiving.
	These were two separate occasions for the original pilgrims, but both celebrations had strong religious overtones.
	Even the secular harvest celebration included a religious component of thanks to the Christian God who had provided the harvest.
	In addition to this celebration, the Puritans also dedicated a day of thanksgiving that was purely religious in nature.
	And so, one pilgrim described it this way when he commented on Psalm 23, He says, We're good to
	go. Whom for three days we entertained and feasted.
	And they went out and killed five deer, which they brought.
	And although it be not always so plentiful as it was this time with us, yet by the goodness of God we are far from want.
	So again, Thanksgiving was only one of three holidays that they would celebrate.
	They would also celebrate Sabbath, the day of humiliation and fasting, and this day of Thanksgiving and praise.
	In the early days, they didn't have it on a regular basis.
	It was an irregular basis.
	And it continued that way until 1676.
	The Governing Council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, met to decide how to best express their thanks to God as they had just established themselves in a community and wanted to thank God in a public way.
	And so they did a declaration.
	And then you had George Washington and After the founding of the country, in 1789, this is after the Constitution, there is no prohibition on the free exercise of religion.
	There's no prohibition on the free speech of a president or any government official.
	In 1789, George Washington proclaimed a National Day of Thanksgiving.
	And so, you know, that's as the founding fathers, as we pointed out, Franklin and many others were saying as they were putting together the Constitution and talking about the war, they looked to God for provision and protection during the war, looked to thank him afterwards.
	George Washington signed the proclamation.
	And then in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln established Thanksgiving as a national holiday, and so it has remained that since.
	Thanksgiving, says Warner Wallace, was and still is founded on the Christian notion that we have something to be thankful for and someone to be thankful to.
	And that's the key thing.
	And so, you know, we go back and we look at that as that guy began his comment on the 23rd Psalm.
	And he...
	You know, Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
	He makes me lie down in green pastures, leads me beside still waters.
	He anoints my head with oil.
	And we understand many of those.
	I've heard a lot of people over the years talk about sheep, not ever having been around sheep or owned any sheep, you know, all the different ways that, you know, David, who was a shepherd, would have known those types of things.
	Leading them beside still water.
	They need to drink, but they're so afraid of everything.
	They're afraid of any running water.
	The fact that they would lay down in green pastures, as many people said, sheep are so afraid of everything that everything disturbs them.
	And so the idea that you would be at rest and laying down, you know, as a shepherd who's watching the sheep all the time, it's like, you know, how do we get them to, you know, chill out?
	And so it talks about all that stuff.
	But then, what is that about anointing my head with oil?
	Was that something that was different?
	Well, actually, that is something that's about sheep as well.
	I just saw this was sent to me.
	And when you look at shepherds, they still do this.
	They still anoint their head with oil.
	Why do they do that? Well, there's a lot of pictures in that one little phrase there.
	As one person said, sheep can get their head caught in briars.
	They can die trying to get untangled.
	There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which in turn turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes beating themselves to death.
	Their ears and their eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects.
	So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil and then they have peace.
	That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that is trying to destroy the sheep.
	And so then they write, Do you have times of mental torment?
	Do the worrisome thoughts evade your mind over and over?
	Do you beat your head against the wall trying to stop them?
	Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil?
	He has endless supply.
	And His oil protects.
	And it makes it possible for you to fix your heart, your mind, your eyes on Him today and always.
	There is peace in the valley.
	May our good God, Father, Anoint your head so that your cup overflows.
	It's an important picture.
	And sometimes when we look at these word pictures, there's so much more there than we get out of it.
	You know, having been away from an agrarian society.
	Chuck Norris has his own analogy.
	He's not around sheep, but he knows all about building muscles.
	And so he says you need to work on your gratitude muscles.
	He says only 19% of people say they are satisfied with the way things are going in our nation.
	23% of people say the country is headed in the right direction.
	Only 23%.
	Cost of everything is too high.
	We have incubators of anger around the country and the world.
	There's a powder keg happening in the international community of wars.
	There have been 61 attacks on the U.S. military.
	Since the 7th of October, the kickoff of this Israel-Hamas war, 61 attacks on U.S. forces.
	He said, however, earlier this year, UCLA Health reported on a multiple university study on the power of gratitude.
	And the researchers discovered that gratefulness really is a medicine for the soul.
	They can make you healthier. They can make you happier.
	If you don't make the $1.7 million that they want, or you don't make the half a million dollars that millennials think they need to have, or you don't have a net worth of $1.7 million, gratitude can actually do it for you.
	Really can.
	The researchers found that those who practiced a thankful attitude had better moods.
	They felt less stress and depression.
	They were less anxious.
	They enjoyed improved sleep, felt less hostile, had lower blood pressure, had lower risk of several disorders, including phobias, bulimia, and addictions like alcohol, nicotine, and even food.
	Researchers at UC San Diego came to a similar conclusion.
	And there's a study after the University College of London had looked at the improvement in sleep quality and the decrease in blood pressure.
	The San Diego study in 2016 of nearly 70 men and women at risk of heart failure asked the participants to keep a gratitude journal.
	For eight weeks, researchers found that the participants who kept a gratitude journal had lower levels of inflammation, a biomarker of heart failure.
	I guess we could say they had a grateful heart.
	As Dr. Chris Peterson, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, said, gratitude may not get people a new job or replenish their retirement accounts, but it can give them energy that they need to tackle their challenges.
	Another professor of psychology said, when you express a feeling, you amplify it.
	So when you express anger, or when you express worry, you get angrier.
	You worry more. And when you express gratitude, you become more grateful.
	Another psalm, Psalm 37.
	I've talked about this in the past.
	The word fret. It's the only time it's used.
	That Hebrew word in all the Old Testament.
	And if you look it up, What it is actually about is like kindling a fire.
	And as he's writing about it, he's talking about how he's being oppressed and bad things that are happening to him from people around him.
	And he's saying, don't fret about it.
	Don't fret about it. Roll this off onto God.
	Anyway, just as with physical exercise, says Chuck Norris, when we flex or push ourselves beyond our mental ability, we also grow stronger inside.
	UCLA Health said that taking a moment to be thankful causes physiological changes in your body that initiate the parasympathetic nervous system, a part of the nervous system that helps you to rest and to digest.
	And so he said, so there's scientific evidence that this is the case, and people have observed this.
	Many of us have not gone to graduate school.
	But many of us have gone to gratitude school, right?
	Because that's one way that you need, one thing that you need in order to be able to get through life.
	And so let me just read this.
	You know, we're talking about the pilgrims, and there's a lot of Puritans who put together their writings, and somebody put together a collection of a lot of them.
	They called it the Valley of Vision.
	And so let me just read this about the family here.
	And this is, again, a Puritan prayer, talking about it.
	You are the Creator Father of all men.
	You have made and support them.
	You are the special Father of those who know, love, and honor you, who find your yoke easy, and your burden light, and your work honorable.
	How little of your undeserved goodness has affected me, and how imperfectly I have improved my religious privileges.
	But he goes on to talk about the family, and this is what I wanted to focus on.
	As he looked at it, in his prayer to God, he says, Sanctify and prosper my domestic devotion.
	My instruction, my discipline, my example, so that my house may be a nursery for heaven.
	That's what I like about these pilgrims.
	They have a different way to phrase things.
	Think of your house as a nursery for heaven.
	Make my church the garden of the Lord.
	Enriched. We're trees of righteousness.
	Let not those of my family who are amiable, who are moral, who are attractive, let them not fall short of heaven at last, because those things are not going to get you there.
	No matter how good you are, that's not going to get you there.
	Grant that the promising appearances of a tender conscience, a soft heart, And the delights of your word be not finally blotted out, but bring forth judgment to victory unto all whom I love.
	Well, let me read some of the things that people have left.
	A lot of kind notes and tips that people have left.
