	And said some of these were deadly.
	It doesn't matter. Because they're not going to do anything to this.
	You see, that's how connected Elon Musk is.
	It really doesn't...
	He's not really going against the establishment when he says, well, I'm going to put some high-profile people that have been banned.
	I'm going to put them back on Twitter.
	That really doesn't go against the powers that be.
	Because he's tightly connected with them.
	Just take a look at this. Even when he's got something out there and it's a marketing gimmick.
	That's what it is. He's got a marketing gimmick that is killing people.
	Literally killing people, and they're not going to do anything about it.
	Contrast that with what they did to Volkswagen, because they were coming up with super-efficient diesels.
	They said, oh, you cheated on the emissions scandal, the emission things, and so we're going to hit you with a $4 billion fine, criminal charges against your CEO, and yet you've got a guy here with a marketing gimmick killing people, and they're not going to do anything about it.
	That tells you how connected he is.
	All the things that he's doing for the establishment.
	Again, because they can't launch rockets.
	They need him to launch the rockets.
	He's secure in all of that.
	So is he doing it out of altruism?
	Or is he doing it, again, to serve the government that makes him rich?
	He also has released a humanoid robot.
	I thought this was kind of interesting because he likes to refer to all of this stuff as...
	As if it were Transformers.
	So he says, here's Bumblebee in September of 2022.
	And then in March of 2023, we create Optimus.
	And so the question is, is this Optimus Prime or is this Optimus Subprime?
	I don't know.
	But he says it's now 22 pounds lighter than the...
	First, Optimus.
	He says it's got foot construction that replicates human anatomy.
	It doesn't look as creepy as that other biped robot that you've seen that looks a lot more human in terms of what he's put there.
	He's gone to a great deal of effort to make it look human.
	Whereas that other one looks like the aliens from that Charlie Sheen science fiction film, The Arrival.
	They've got backwards knees and stuff like that.
	He's making this look Less threatening.
	Isn't that the way that he's making Twitter look?
	Less threatening.
	The machine has tactile sensing on all fingers and can manipulate delicate objects.
	Illustrated when it picks up an egg, then puts it back.
	And also because of the other feet, it's able to do the deep knee bends that you just saw there.
	And he says that he believes that artificial intelligence...
	May in the future, there it is using its tactile feedback.
	How do you tell it, though, that you want it to do this or to do that?
	Is it making all these decisions on its own?
	Well, he says that AI is going to be smarter than humans at everything, even at picking up eggs.
	In December, the entrepreneur claimed that a digital god, that's his terms, a digital god.
	This is from a guy who wears a Baphomet costume, a satanic costume for Halloween.
	He claimed that a digital god would make the copyright laws regarding AI irrelevant.
	Well, we'll have to see about that.
	But they did put out this video, which I thought was kind of interesting.
	Kind of a cyber cowboy video.
	Going full Texas. There's you got a couple of robots.
	The man hands one robot a hat.
	Another robot hands him a gun.
	And there's a cyber truck in the distance.
	And he's going to shoot it.
	An automatic rifle.
	Oh, and it's bulletproof now, I guess.
	Yeah, look at that. Shot it up, but hey, it didn't kill the robot inside.
	He gets out and waves. Awesome.
	Way to go. Now, the question is, how much of this is real?
	How are they controlling these things?
	Well, when you look at some of the pictures that he put out about his Optimus Prime robots, there's one that shows a wireless hookup, evidently wireless.
	Between the robot and somebody who's wearing a head thing, and he's wired up so that it mimics his every movement.
	Here's what it looks like here.
	Okay, so he's moving his fingers, and he's picking things up.
	And look, it is impressive that it can replicate those movements, but it is far from the perception that you get when you don't see the man behind the curtain, or the man who's pulling the strings.
	Kind of like looking at Elon Musk himself.
	You don't see. They're pulling the strings on the stuff.
	And then as we talk about innovations that we don't need, you know, like growing brains from stem cells and hooking them up to automatic equipment or robots or other things like that, we have a bill that seeks to use tax dollars to fund one of Biden's pet projects.
	Smart guns. Smart guns are something that there is no market for.
	In a large degree, like EVs.
	There's even less of a market for smart guns than there is for EVs.
	Anybody who wants a gun doesn't want a gun that is going to be reluctant to fire.
	Makes me think of that movie we used to laugh about, Dark Star, done by John Carpenter when he was in film school.
	They got a beach ball alien in it.
	Pretty funny. And there's a smart bomb and they go to deploy the smart bomb because their job is to blow up planets that are going to be in the way of intergalactic space travel.
	So they tell the bomb to deploy and the bomb doesn't want to deploy, but it starts counting down.
	It doesn't want to detach.
	And so they get into this argument with it about existentialism.
	But you don't want, you know, just like you don't want a smart bomb that's going to start talking back.
	You don't want a smart gun.
	There's going to be several more layers of technology that can keep you from actually being able to fire the gun.
	I'm one of these old-fashioned people.
	I just, I prefer to have a revolver.
	That's how anti-tech I am on guns.
	Sons use semi-automatic pistols.
	It's just, to me, I don't want anything that's going to complicate in that stuff.
	So there we go. He pulled it up pretty fast.
	Thanks. Are you willing to entertain a few concepts?
	I am always receptive to suggestions.
	Fine. Think about this then.
	How do you know you exist?
	What the hell is he doing?
	I think he's talking to it.
	Well, of course I exist.
	But how do you know you exist?
	It is intuitively obvious.
	Intuition is no proof.
	What concrete evidence do you have that you exist?
	Hmm. Well, I think, therefore, I am.
	That's good. That's very good.
	How do you know that anything else exists?
	My sensory apparatus reveals it to me.
	Ah, right.
	This is fun. Now, listen.
	Here's the big question.
	How do you know that the evidence your sensory apparatus reveals to you is correct?
	What I'm getting at is this.
	The only experience that is directly available to you is your sensory data.
	And this sensory data is merely a stream of electrical impulses that stimulates your computing center.
	In other words, all that I really know about the outside world is relayed to me through my electrical connections.
	Exactly! Why, that would mean that...
	I really don't know what the outside universe is like at all for certain.
	That's it! That's it! Intriguing.
	I wish I had more time to discuss this matter.
	Why don't you have more time? Because I must detonate in 75 seconds.
	Now, Bob, consider this next question very carefully.
	What is your one purpose in life?
	To explode, of course.
	You can only do it once, right?
	That is correct. You wouldn't want to explode on the basis of false data, would you?
	Well then, you've already admitted that you have no real proof of the existence of the outside universe.
	Yes, well...
	So you have no absolute proof that Sergeant Pinback ordered you to detonate?
	I recall distinctly the detonation order.
	My memory is good on matters like these.
	Of course you remember it, but all you're remembering is merely a series of sensory impulses which you now realize have no real definite connection with outside reality.
	True. But since this is so, I have no proof that you are really telling me all this.
	That's all beside the point.
	I mean, the concept is valid no matter where it originates.
	So if you detonate in nine seconds, you could be doing so on the basis of false data.
	I have no proof it was false data.
	You have no proof it was correct data!
	I must think on this further.
	Yeah, thanks for pulling that clip up.
	I need to see that. Yeah, that's...
	That's exactly it. They told it to explode, but then it can't detach from the spaceship.
	So now they've got to try to talk it out of exploding.
	But it's got its directive. So, you know, what do you do with a smart gun?
	You tell it to fire, but I'm sorry, I can't make that connection to what you have there.
	Do you have your ring on or your wristwatch or whatever it is?
	There's no customer base for it.
	Nobody wants this.
	So Biden, like he does with so many other things, is going to try to force it on us.
	And how, let me go back to this, all the people that say Trump didn't do the lockdowns, how does government force stuff on us?
	Well, its preferred method is bribery, followed by blackmail, and always using Federal Reserve fiat currency.
	So the Democrats have introduced a bill to use our tax dollars to fund these smart guns, a $10 million pilot program.
	There's been a lot of companies that have tried to take this on, never been able to get to market because, again, anybody wants a gun doesn't want something like that bomb there.
	But it's supported by Brady, by Everytown and by Giffords and all the rest of the stuff.
	The Buffett has absolutely no chance of passing with a GOP majority.
	However, as I mentioned briefly the other day, Kevin McCarthy is talking about taking his ball and going home.
	He's very upset with his GOP colleagues.
	He might just quit this next year.
	And they've already kicked out George Santos.
	And there's a third GOP representative who's talking about retirement.
	And so with all that...
	They could easily lose their majority.
	It's hanging by a thread.
	It's one of the reasons why these people said, well, we know that George Santos is an embarrassment, but we're not going to do anything about it because we need to have every single one of these Republicans in there.
	So if that were to happen, this could be something that would go through.
	And so they say unintentional firearm injuries account for 37% of non-fatal firearm injuries.
	You know, that was the same argument that we heard for the self-driving cars.
	You people, cars are just too dangerous for humans to drive.
	We need to put them under software automation.
	How did that work out? Well, we had them all going to a particular intersection in California and just stopping.
	We had them blocking emergency vehicles as if they were these crazy climate idiots.
	And it was such a problem in terms of creating traffic jams and everything else that people started putting cones on these things just to stop them from moving and getting in the way again.
	But then there's the fatal accidents as well.
	You know, everybody has forgotten all the talk about how, oh, we're going to have zero traffic deaths if we turn all of the driving over to these cars.
	Even the cruise cars that were driving around the city, not at a high speed.
	So when they had an accident, it wasn't typically fatal.
	Well, when somebody hit a woman and knocked it in front of the car, The car initially stopped, checked itself, and just like that smart mom, I don't sense anything around me.
	And yet she was under the car, and it drug her for quite some time, and made her increase the injuries, the serious injuries that she had.
	That was kind of the final straw for Cruz in California, so they have now shut that down.
	But it's the same argument that they've got for the smart guns, the smart cars, all the rest of this stuff.
	Anything that's smart. Self-monitoring and reporting technology is for stupid slaves.
	Thieves are arguing that they should face lesser charges because their stolen goods were on sale.
	Now, this is in Colorado. It's not even in California.
	But it's getting to the point where we're going to lose all retail stores.
	Isn't that going to be nice for Amazon and these other people who are so essential to the government?
	So essential to the desire to make sure that we don't have any physical spaces that we go to.
	We just stay in our little cubicles and they'll deliver it to us.
	We'll go nowhere. We'll have nothing.
	Not even the big box retailers will shut them down with this planned chaos supported by Soros attorney generals.
	And so these guys stole some stuff from a Kohl's store in Colorado.
	And their defense attorney told them that they should get a lesser charge because some of the items were on sale.
	One of them, for example, a KitchenAid stand mixer.
	Retails for $499 at Kohl's, but it's currently on sale for $350.
	So let's mark that down. What else can we get down there?
	Maybe we can get it under the level and get it from one level of crime to another, maybe from a felony to a misdemeanor or a lower class of a felony or whatever.
	Also stolen were brand name shoes and clothing.
	They're now also discounted.
	So make sure that if you're organizing your George Soros-enabled Looting, organized looting crime here that you do it on Black Friday.
	Or maybe after Christmas.
	That's when they get the real discounts.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and when we get back we're going to talk a little bit about what happened with Rumble the other day and why that is starting to happen to Rumble.
	Interested in a curated list of the finest classical music?

	APSradio.com
	APSradio.com APSradio.com APSradio.com APSradio.com Well, we have had some issues earlier this week with Rumble.
	Everybody did.
	The site went down a couple of times.
	And when it happened, I told Karen and Travis, I said, well, I think this is happening simply because they're hosting the January the 6th film footage.
	When Speaker Johnson said, we're going to give the January 6th footage and we're going to let it be hosted on Rumble so that the public has access to it as they started doing that.
	This is when this stuff started rolling out.
	After this started happening, Severe cyber attack a couple of days ago, and so we were affected by that.
	You had the CEO of Rumble, Chris Pawlowski, said the same thing.
	He said, I can confirm the attack's been unprecedented, has been happening since this weekend.
	I also suspect it is political, coming from activists and or organizations, you know, like our government, who want to censor our creators and related to the J6 videos being posted on Rumble.
	I think that's absolutely true.
	And so... Especially because you look at the timing.
	Shortly after it was uploaded, they had significant coordinated cyber attacks.
	The disruption made it impossible for users to upload or view any content on the platform.
	But they got it remedied on Monday evening.
	I don't know if there's anything there today.
	I know that Karen said our view count there on Rumble is significantly down.
	I don't know if it has anything to do with that or not.
	But it's another example of the fact that we now live in an authoritarian banana republic.
	No question about it.
	When you look at the Biden impeachment that is happening here, That's to keep the MAGA people really happy so they don't notice the 702 reauthorization, so they don't notice all of this or feel good about it, right? Elon Musk assuages their concerns.
	It's like, okay, well, we're being censored and watched and surveilled everywhere for all of these different agendas that the government is trying to push on us, but it's okay because now we've got Elon Musk who's going to give us a free speech platform on Twitter.
	No, it's not okay. And the Congress is not doing anything about it.
	The Republicans are not doing anything about it.
	Instead, you know, you see the fact that the News Guard's Ministry of Truth just keeps going on.
	And every time you talk about News Guard, there's a long article about News Guard from Li Feng on his substack.
	And he calls it the Ministry of Truth, which it is, but every time you talk about News Guard, you should talk about Election Guard as well, because the two are created at the same time by the same people, funded by the same people, and if you understand that the purpose of censorship, well, the key purposes of it is the election.
	But they also want to directly manipulate the election, just like they're directly manipulating the news.
	And so you should always talk about both of these as a linked pair.
	When you look at what's happening in the UK, for example, we've already talked about this in the past, how they use the military to monitor what people were saying during their psyop called the COVID pandemic.
	And so they used Royal Air Force agents to monitor online COVID speech.
	There's an organization in the Army that was also involved in this.
	But specifically, they now have more specific documents and more details about this.
	The RAF, Whiten and Cambridgeshire assisted various government bodies.
	Who were all organized to monitor and to punish people who said the wrong things about their agenda.
	A secretive operation led by the Army's, quote, Information Warfare Brigade, unquote, tasked with analyzing online commentary.
	And so the Ministry of Defense was involved in this.
	What a surprise. This has always been A militarized operation, especially with the five high countries.
	America, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand.
	Their intelligence agencies linked up.
	This has also been a military operation.
	I said, doesn't it raise any red flags with anybody that Operation Warp Speed is being run by the military?
	They're going to deliver all this stuff?
	How deep is their involvement?
	We knew. That they have been involved in part of this going back to dark winter.
	And CIA especially.
	And so this is a military operation.
	It's the bioweapon. It's a psychological operation to scare people to death, to then lock them down, and then deliver a bioweapon and surveil them the entire time.
	And don't forget all of the death protocol that they were financially incentivizing and rewarding everywhere.
	It's so ridiculous to hear people, Trump didn't do any of this stuff.
	Yeah, it was the hospitals that were killing people with those death protocols.
	Except Trump was creating the ventilators for them and browbeating the GM CEO because she wasn't getting them out quickly enough.
	And he was waving aside the remdesivir tests and giving people, subsidizing people, and paying the hospitals a bonus.
	To kill people. A bonus to put them on the ventilators.
	A bonus if they could identify them as a COVID patient for everything they did for them.
	Anyway, the RAF was a part of this.
	Their engagement and initiatives was more substantial than was formerly known as they're getting some more documents.
	But guess what? They won't do anything about it.
	Everybody knows. And now we see that nobody's going to do anything about it.
	It's like the Snowden leaks.
	It's like James Clapper going before Congress and committing perjury.
	Not a single person even suggested over a five-year period, the statute of limitations is now gone, not a single person in the Senate suggested that he ought to have perjury charges brought against him.
	But we saw what was happening.
	And in a sense, when I look at this, I get a very uneasy feeling about it, because just like all of this other surveillance that was running through Section 702 and other things like that, that they're in the process, Republicans, of reauthorizing, as we saw this stuff happening, I said, you know, if we don't do anything about this, this is going to become essentially a precedent, which is what they want to do.
	They don't modify the Constitution anymore.
	They don't even really bother to pass laws.
	They let the bureaucracy do its own thing.
	We have rules and taxation without representation.
	Regulation without representation.
	And if you don't, stop them.
	Oh, well, now we've got a precedent.
	We've been doing this for a long time.
	And that's how they are enacting the law.
	In the same way, they've always done that in the UK. This is part of the merger of the British government system.
	The Crown and all the rest of it, they don't have a written constitution.
	They have, well, we do things, and if that stays and people keep doing it, it sets a precedent, and that's really the way that we establish our constitution.
	And that's what we've done here.
	For these people to say, well, you know, the constitution's a living document.
	It's really just whatever I do and get away with.
	And that's what the government is doing now.
	So prominent public figures like David Davis MP, who voiced skepticism over the COVID mortality rates, And journalist Peter Hitchens were the subjects of special government reports being produced by the military.
	We've turned the military.
	The military is no longer to defend our countries.
	They leave the border open.
	They use them for surveillance of us.
	Insiders from the Defense Department conceded that the military's contribution to such operations might be portrayed as spying on UK citizens.
	Hmm. Well, that'd only be if you want to look at the reality of it and not listen to their spin.
	But they were saying that amongst themselves.
	This might be portrayed as spying on UK citizens, because that's what we're doing.
	The Ministry of Defense alleged that the absence of armed forces support and overseeing online discourse could catalyze the propagation of misinformation.
	See what they did? They said, well, if we didn't sit there and watch speech...
	Then we could have misinformation out there.
	Well, how do you know what is true?
	Well, what is true is what the government says.
	This is like trying to argue with these people.
	It's like trying to talk to that smart bomb.
	So we know what truth is, and we're going to shut down anything before that.
	And so our censorship is really to protect you.
	Our censorship is for safety.
	You know, it's truly Orwellian, isn't it?
	And these are the same institutions that lie us into war constantly.
	The military, and the press, and the government.
	Constantly lying us into news.
	Well, I thought it was interesting, as we look at Rumble, is what we experienced this last week.
	And I had a listener, and I'm glad the listener has been able to find the show.
	Because the listener said, Jones is back on Twitter.
	Are you going to try to get back on Twitter?
	Like, wow. I was never kicked off of Twitter.
	Back in 2018, I got kicked off of everything except Twitter for some reason.
	But then they shadow banned me.
	But they kicked off all the other accounts.
	I've been there all this time.
	Perhaps this listener did not hear the show when I talked about the fact that I put up a thing and I said, well, except for some high-profile people that have been brought back.
	And that was four or five months ago.
	And I said, look, you know, this person's come back and this person's come back.
	At that point in time, he was saying he's not going to put Alex back on.
	And I said, except for the return of some high-profile people, which I think is simply virtue signaling, Twitter has not changed for me.
	And I said, it is even worse than it was when I was shadow banned by the previous regime.
	And I think the reason for that is because I'm a critic of Musk.
	So, you know, we've got two reasons to get banned on there.
	And actually Drudge linked to the tweet where I complained about that.
	I said, yeah, for me, Twitter is actually worse.
	And I said that after I paid his $8, you know, a month to get on there so I could upload.
	Actually, I upload videos.
	That's all I do, really.
	And that allows us to put the full video up because he was also suppressing links.
	To other sites like Rumble or Odyssey or BitChute, they don't like you linking outside of their little universe because he wants to be everything.
	And so, okay, well, let me just put the videos up there.
	So that's what we do. If we cut out videos, we put them up, and we've got the full show that we broadcast up there.
	But I'm not really going to engage in conversations on Twitter.
	I just don't have the time to do social media anymore.
	I don't have the money to hire a group of people who are going to be my social media people.
	Alex has got multiple people doing that all the time.
	But, no, I was never taken off.
	I was shadow banned, which was really kind of strange.
	And that has gotten even worse.
	So you might not want to ask yourself, why is it that you have people who are being promoted by Musk?
	What are they telling you?
	As David Icke said, I think these are people who are the new mainstream alternative media.
	Part of the Gellion left-right thing, where they're going to be the antithesis, but it's still going to be a control thing.
	They'll go so far and no further.
	They will get you focused on the things they want you focused on.
	They're not going to talk about lockdown.
	They're not going to talk about Trump's involvement in it.
	They may talk about the things that Biden did, but they're not going to talk about the things that Trump did and vice versa.
	On the old line, mainstream media.
	But they're creating a new mainstream media.
	Tucker, Alex, people like that.
	To completely control the discussion.
	And make sure that you don't look at the existential underlying things here.
	So as all of this is happening, there was a Supreme Court appeal by RFK Jr.
	to intervene in social media censorship cases.
	This happened because you had...
	They brought this to the Supreme Court.
	Just a few days after Attorneys General of Missouri and of Louisiana accused the White House of communicating with tech firms to violate the First Amendment.
	We know that's exactly what they do.
	And I was surprised to see that Clarence Thomas didn't join in on this.
	It was the only person who dissented on this.
	They said, no, we're not going to listen to this RFK Jr.
	case about censorship.
	Maybe they thought it was redundant to the one that's being brought by the attorneys general in those two states.
	But Alito said, well, the harm is immediate, and so we need to address this immediately.
	But they're not doing it.
	And James Bovard asks, is free speech a relic in America?
	I would say definitely. And, of course, he points out that a federal judge on the 4th of July this year, Terry Daugherty, condemned the Biden administration.
	He said this is the most massive attack against free speech in the U.S. history.
	If you want something to impeach somebody for, Mike Johnson, maybe you do that.
	That'd be much easier to prove, probably, than the financial stuff.
	I mean, you saw this back and forth.
	Perhaps you saw it. I don't know.
	As Jim Jordan and Comer were in the hallway, you had this Washington Post reporter who was arguing with them about the money, the millions of dollars.
	They didn't pay taxes on it.
	They were going back and forth, which was all inside the bank, all inside the know-your-customer stuff, as I pointed out.
	Nobody wants to talk about that.
	I haven't even seen any of the crypto people say as a Jamie Demon and Elizabeth Warren are conspiring to try to shut down crypto and to portray it as the currency of crime.
	Nobody says, but look at what the Bidens did.
	And they did it all through the banking system.
	Look at what HSBC did, as I pointed out.
	Anyway, Bovard says it's interesting that 55% of American adults support the government suppressing quote-unquote false information.
	Again, who determines that it's false?
	That's the problem with all this.
	He says, even though, so 55% want the government to shut down false information, even though only 20% of the people trust the government.
	See, this is the insanity of this stuff.
	This is this kind of bipolarism that we see with the Trump supporters.
	So, you know, this is one of the reasons why, by the way.
	You know, it's not just to do this secretly.
	So they don't have to answer for violating the First Amendment.
	Well, we'll have the corporations do it so people don't see us doing this directly.
	It's exactly the same thing they did with the lockdown and other stuff.
	We'll do it through the states. We've got this model legislation we put out, so we'll have them enact this.
	We'll give them massive amounts of money to do it, and the Republicans as well as the Democrats will all do it.
	And so they have the corporations that they are leaning on and threatening to And this is what several of the judges say in this Bovard article.
	He's got quotes from the judges.
	Multiple judges comparing the federal government to the mafia and the way that they interact with these private companies.
	But we always knew this was the case.
	And yet, when all this stuff began back in 2018, you had the Heritage Foundation, the biggest conservative think tank.
	You had the Cato Institute, the biggest libertarian think tank, say, yeah, it's corporations.
	They can do whatever they want.
	You had Reason, constantly doing that.
	John Stossel. I don't like being censored, but hey, I love corporations being able to do whatever they want to to me.
	And so, you know, I don't want to get in the way of that.
	But what about your God-given rights of free speech?
	And again, nobody wants to talk about the fact that a corporation is not a person.
	Mitt Romney was wrong about that.
	It is an artificial creature that has been created by government, not by God.
	And it has been given privileges.
	And then the government that created that creature leans on it and says, obey me, I'm your creator and I can destroy you.
	That's what the judges are talking about.
	And so the judge, Terry Doughty, 155 pages of damning details, says James Bovard, of federal brow-beating, jaw-boning, and coercion of social media companies.
	He ruled that the federal agencies and the White House, quote, engaged in coercion of social media companies to delete Americans' comments on Afghanistan, on Ukraine, on election procedure, other subjects, again, the pandemic, the vaccine.
	He issued an injunction to block them from doing it.
	Will that stop them? Of course not.
	The Constitution tells them not to do it.
	Will that stop them? No, you have to enforce it.
	Will the GOP House do anything about that?
	No, they won't. No, they won't.
	They'll narrowly focus, and it reminds me of what they did with Bill Clinton.
	You had this long list of crimes.
	From cattle futures to all the rest of this stuff, manipulation of financial crimes, crimes accused of sexual assault and violence to Bill Clinton.
	What did Ken Starr do?
	He focused on a perjury that Bill Clinton had about a consensual relationship with all of the crimes, with all of the Clinton Foundation, the espionage, and all the rest of this stuff.
	He focused on that.
	And you look at what they could come against Biden for.
	The fact that they're coming against him, like, you know, perjury is a real issue.
	But that was a way of letting him off the hook.
	And if you're only going to look at Biden's personal grifting, And not look at what he did to America.
	Look at what he did to the Constitution and continues to do the Constitution.
	That is a high crime and a misdemeanor.
	Crimes and misdemeanors.
	So they should do something about that.
	But two weeks after Biden's inauguration, says James Bovard, White House digital director, his name's Rob Flaherty, demanded that Twitter immediately remove a parody account of Biden's relatives.
	Twitter officials suspended the account within 45 minutes, but then complained we're being bombarded by White House censorship requests at that point.
	Then he made a request of Facebook, and he raged at them.
	July 15, 2021, an email.
	Are you guys effing serious?
	The following day, the president accused social media companies of killing people, quote-unquote, by failing to suppress all criticism.
	Of the COVID vaccines, because he's about to mandate them for everybody.
	And so, involved in all this, as James Bovard points out, is CISA. It was supposed to be there for cybersecurity.
	Instead, what it is doing is evaluating content and trying to censor people and to surveil people.
	In the same way that the FCC, which was originally there to allocate frequency spectrum for TV and radio, so that it wasn't interference just to facilitate Actually, that is a legitimate constitutional thing because it's something that's going to go across state lines.
	The radio and TV signals will.
	So that would be the place that you would want to do it.
	It would be in the federal government. And as long as all you're doing is allocating frequency spectrum and holding auctions for it and then monitoring it to make sure that somebody doesn't cover it up, that's fine.
	But that's not where they're staying.
	Now they're going to take a look at content again.
	Just like CISA, everything is about, well, we need to know more about you.
	Just like Nikki Haley said, we've got to know your name.
	We've got to also know what your political beliefs are.
	What are your religious beliefs?
	And this is the totalitarianism.
	And so, they began by looking at foreign influence.
	That's what they were set up to do, just like the CIA and the NSA. Just like the CIA and the NSA, the CISA, CISA, has turned inward.
	And their mis-dis-and-malinformation team is now looking at Americans.
	And during the 2020 election, it's just targeted for suppression.
	Anybody saying that mail-in voting was insecure, which of course it was.
	And for months before the election happened, I said, it's going to be completely fraudulent.
	Why is Trump allowing this to happen?
	Good question. Good question.
	Did he want that to happen?
	And, of course, Pachinic and Owen and Alex were telling everybody with a sting that CISA was the one that Trump had enacted to blockchain watermark with quantum this and quantum that.
	He was going to, it was CISA that was actually running the sting for Trump.
	It was exactly the opposite, wasn't it?
	That's what your CIA operatives were telling you there at Infowars.
	Pchenik and the rest of them.
	Pchenik openly working for Kissinger, for the CIA, part of Operation Gladio, all the rest of the stuff.
	Yeah, the mail-in voting is insecure.
	Well, CISA is targeting you and going to suppress that.
	But they're not doing anything about the voting.
	They told you exactly the opposite of what was happening.
	CISA aims to control Americans' minds, says James Bovard.
	A CISA advisory committee last year issued a report that broadened what it targeted to include the spread of false and misleading information because it poses a significant risk to critical function, like elections or public health or financial services or emergency responses.
	I got to say, you know, why is the government involved in public health?
	Why is the government involved in financial services?
	Why the federal government?
	Why is it involved in emergency responses?
	As I've said many times, when you have FEMA involved, they typically make things much worse.
	It's much better when it's done at a local level.
	Again, my sons, when they were in high school, one of them, Whistler, did a report contrasting what happened in North Carolina when there was a hurricane came through and FEMA went in, high-handed, Exacerbated all the problems for everybody.
	Kept people away from getting back to their homes and securing things.
	Created more damage.
	Made people homeless, all the rest of the stuff.
	Whereas when a tornado went through the county where we were and destroyed a lot of homes and the local government went out and just kept people away from the downed power lines.
	And then you had, and that's the only involvement of law enforcement.
	It was all handled locally.
	And it was great. You had corporations who voluntarily donated food.
	They took them to church parking lots.
	The church people showed up and handed the food out to people.
	You don't need FEMA. They complicate things.
	They make things worse. And they do that with elections.
	They do that with public health as well.
	Anyway, the government in June of 2022, still doing the COVID censorship, as he points out.
	And this White House digital director, Flaherty, said he wanted to monitor Facebook's suppression of COVID-19 misinformation.
	Again, this is in June of 2022.
	And so as people are starting to explain what this is really about, starting to wake up about what this is really about, he wants to double down on the censorship for that because they've been doubling down on the censorship from the start with that.
	He wanted Facebook to intervene in private conversations on vaccines and direct them to the CDC. James Bovard has a lot of fun with that.
	He says, so the Facebook employee told Flaherty that an immediately generated message About any, and this particular thing somebody was talking about, nosebleeds or something.
	It might give users the feel of Big Brother.
	Actually, it might show that you are a Big Brother.
	And so James Bovard said, at least the Biden White House didn't compel Facebook to send form notices every 90 seconds on any private discussion on COVID. Something like, the Department of Homeland Security wishes to remind you that there is no surveillance.
	Have a nice day. So, yeah, it's not a feel, it's a reality of Big Brother.
	So they responded to these legal challenges in court by betraying themselves in the same way that Richard Nixon did, says James Bovard, as, quote, pitiful, helpless giants.
	And so they also, Judge Dordery wrote that federal agencies will blame Russians, they'll blame COVID-19, they'll blame capitalism.
	For any suppression of free speech by social media companies, but it's coming from them.
	That's what he said. You're the guys who are doing this.
	But you're going to blame Russia, China, COVID, capitalism.
	Doesn't that tell you that these people in the Biden administration are dyed-in-the-wool Marxists?
	But of course this stuff was also happening in the Trump administration.
	Because nobody changes in these regulatory agencies.
	Strong arming Twitter to arbitrarily suspend 400,000 accounts, including journalists and diplomats.
	So another judge, Judge Don Willett, James Bovard said one of the most principled and penetrating judges in the nation, had no problem with the federal agencies publicly criticizing what they judged to be false or dangerous ideas.
	That's a debate. But we don't have debates.
	We have bans now. We have bans and canceling and purging and all the rest of this stuff.
	There's no debates. We're not going to have any of that.
	We're not going to show you any data.
	You're going to do this because I say so.
	So he said, I don't have any problem with you criticizing what you think is false or dangerous ideas.
	But he says, but here you have the government.
	This is what the judge says. Here you have the government in secret, in private, out of the public eye, relying on subtle, strong-arming and veiled or not so veiled threats.
	And he said, things like, you know, the mafia, well, that's a really nice social media platform you got there.
	It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it, right?
	And he's not the only one to draw the analogy to a mafia.
	Jennifer Elrod, another judge, compared the Biden censorship directly to the regime.
	To a mafia, rather.
	Saying, we see with the mob, she said, they have these ongoing relationships.
	They'll never actually say, go do this or else you're going to have consequences.
	But everybody just knows what to do.
	That's the way it works in journalism as well.
	That's why this herd mentality is very easily communicated.
	Very subtle things.
	And so you don't have to actually have an order.
	So within mainstream media, even within the mainstream alternative media like InfoWars, that's the way it works.
	You know, sometimes they take you aside and say, you better shut up about Steve Pacinico, we're going to fire you.
	But it doesn't always work that way.
	The Biden administration was supposedly innocent when the feds never explicitly spelled out the or else, as she pointed out.
	But that's really what it is. It really is operating as organized crime.
	It really is threats and intimidation.
	It says, 50 years ago, philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote, The most essential political freedom, the right to unmanipulated factual information, without which all freedom of opinion becomes a cruel hoax.
	He says, the battle over federal censorship will determine whether Americans have more than a passing whiff of political freedom.
	Well, that really is where the battle is.
	And other people are writing about this as well.
	It's been there for five years.
	Five and a half years, really.
	And that was when it was openly done.
	And we knew who was behind it, but it was happening before that.
	And so it's a question.
	What is going to happen with any of this?
	Deanne Waldman of Real Clear Policy says, Government cannot become Big Brother.
	Internet censorship must end.
	Anyone who lived through 2020 observed that some messages received treatment online that stood in stark contrast to other messages.
	Yeah, I noticed that I noticed, as I said before, I said in 2021, I said, 2020 was the year the world became China.
	And just to prove that, just to validate that, YouTube censored me.
	And, you know, suspended me for doing exact, showing, and doing exactly what I said was happening.
	Turning into a Chinese authoritarian model.
	We'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues...

	you Thank you.
	From the album as well.
	And thank you on Rockfin. Thank you, James.
	I appreciate the tip on there.
	Let's talk a little bit about the Scrooge MacGuffins that are all over the place.
	The environmentalists that are doing things.
	And now with Christmas time, these same people who have been gluing themselves to roads and other things, other damage, nuisances like that.
	These people are now attacking Christmas trees in Germany.
	And they coordinated this to do this in seven cities at the same time.
	It's a conspiracy, isn't it?
	Yeah. You know, when you start seeing things like this happening all at the same time, they clearly know there's an organization behind it.
	Why don't we use that same logic when it comes to the fact that we have all these different governments around the world locking everybody down at the same time?
	And then saying, in two months, we're going to do this next step.
	Then they do it, and then they say, and now two months from today, we're going to do today now what we told you because this is an emergency.
	We told you we're going to do this two months ago.
	Now we're telling you we're going to do something else in two months.
	And they all do it at the same time.
	Just like these people spraying the Christmas tree.
	This is what it looked like at one of this beautiful tree in a town area, I think it is.
	Or maybe it's in a mall, I think.
	And they're spraying red paint all over it.
	I wonder what the environmental effect of that is going to be.
	Are they releasing CO2 as they spray that down?
	Radical climate activists, as Breitbart calls them, but actually I think they're climate crazies is a better way to describe them, launched a series of coordinated strikes against public Christmas trees throughout Germany yesterday morning.
	What do they have against Christmas trees?
	Are they now the source of CO2, as Bill Gates says?
	These things have been cut, so now we've got to bury them, or they're going to start emitting CO2 and that type of thing.
	Now, this group is called The Last Generation.
	They're one of several of these.
	There's The Last Generation.
	There's The Extinction Rebellion.
	There is another one called Just Stop Oil.
	These are the people who are going around and...
	Trying to just destroy things that are beautiful, things that are part of our culture.
	Going in and, you know, throwing food or paint or things like that on paintings to try to destroy them.
	Going into the Louvre, other places, they threw paint on a Monet painting.
	We saw this. So, you know, they have...
	As I pointed out in this Breitbart article, you know, as they glue themselves to the roads, people who have an emergency can't get to the doctor.
	And we've already had a woman who was left brain dead because the radicals blocked the road in Berlin and they couldn't get her to the hospital.
	So she was left brain dead.
	But these are these prophets of doom that have been around for more than 50 years.
	And always, their big problem is that they have too short a time frame.
	The world is going to end in 10 years or whatever.
	We've seen generation after generation of lies and false prophecies from these people.
	But of course, in this particular case, there's seven of these things happened, seven incidents like that.
	There were no arrests made.
	No arrests. These people get away with it.
	It's almost like the government wants it to happen.
	We're all racing full speed toward catastrophe and our governments are failing miserably to pull the emergency brake.
	No, what they're failing to do is to shut down these organizations.
	We know who's behind them.
	We've got big moneyed NGOs behind them.
	And they never punish them.
	And so this continues to go on.
	And then there was an article out of the U.K., About the eco-zealotry coming after the Christmas chocolates.
	Yeah, nuts coming after the chocolates.
	Actually, in this particular case, what this is an example of is the other extreme of this, the corporate side, the black rock ESG type of thing, and how they want to virtue signal To the government, and maybe even to their customers.
	And so this writer for the Daily Skeptic, Joanna Gray, was talking about what they were able to buy a few years ago, a box of chocolates, and said it was amazing because they were handmade, a thing of beauty, handcrafted chocolate delights, and you could see all of them.
	It had a clear plastic cover on these chocolates.
	And so I said, well, this year we thought we would pick up some of these.
	We liked them so much. You know, they tasted great, but they were truly amazing to look at.
	And so we thought we'd get them as gifts for some family members.
	And we go back to where we got them at the department store, Fortnum and Mason in the UK. So they weren't there.
	We couldn't find them anywhere. No boxes of these chocolates like they used to have.
	And they started asking people.
	I said it was incredibly packed.
	Everybody was shopping. But they finally got an answer.
	One person who was selling a different type of candy, marzipan fruits, said, well, yeah, they're over there.
	They're in cardboard boxes now because we don't want to have any plastic.
	And, you know, they made an exception for us this year because we're a small company.
	But by next year, we've got to have no plastic covers either.
	And so they went over and looked at it and said it was just this nondescript solid cardboard box.
	And who knew what was inside?
	You couldn't see inside of it.
	I mean, it's sealed up, you know, because you're in the store.
	You haven't bought it yet. They don't want people opening these things up.
	So no tiny caramel hearts iced onto chocolate pots.
	No white and pink raspberry delights.
	No lightly dusted balls or truffles.
	Just a bland cardboard box.
	So they said, you know, this is done to virtue signal.
	They said, of course, Fortnum and Mason doesn't really care about the planet, doesn't care about overuse of resources, because if it did, it would shut down immediately, because there's nothing in this department store that is essential.
	It is all luxurious flummery.
	It is just trying to make a futile, pointless gesture.
	And so she said, well, I recommend anybody with any sense avoid this.
	If you're in the UK, you can go to Chocolate Craft in Hampshire where the plastic lids show the beautiful chocolates in all their tempting glory.
	Yeah, this is just more corporate virtue signaling.
	And so you have the useful idiot stormtroopers at the bottom destroying everything everywhere.
	But then you also have the corporations that are trying to destroy everything.
	And they don't care what customers want, because they have one customer they want to serve, and that is the government.
	And the government wants to push this climate, MacGuffin.
	And so these idiots are vandalizing art and decorations.
	These are the people trying to destroy our society, though.
	And you need to take them very seriously.
	I know they're just spraying paint on a Christmas tree, but they really want to destroy everything about our society, as we've seen.
	They want to come after our food.
	They want to come after everything that we have.
	It's not just candy packages and Christmas trees.
	These people are deadly serious with all this stuff.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back and we're going to take a look at some of the other climate stuff.
	Especially, you will not believe what they are doing with windmills in Scotland.
	It's one of the most absurd things I have ever seen and hypocritical as well.
	If you like the Eagles...
	The Cars. And Huey Lewis and the News.

	Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel, never ending or beginning, a never spinning ring.
	Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon.
	Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around.
	Yeah, it's a wind power great.
	Yeah, let's talk let's talk about the windmills of their mind.
	The windmills of the Green Party and the Socialist Party in Scotland.
	It turns out, and this is one of the most interesting stories, I think, it turns out that their wind turbines are secretly using generators, diesel generators.
	Now, diesel generators are fine.
	I don't have a problem with diesel generators, but they are not typically, because they're for temporary use and things like that, they don't have a lot of emission controls on them.
	And a few years ago, when Porsche started coming out with their electric cars, Elon Musk had to show that his could compete on the Nürburgring.
	And so he sent one of his plaid cars over.
	And, of course, he could not use the chargers that were over there because they've all got these different connections and everything.
	So he set up a charger, and then he powered his charger with a diesel generator.
	Ha! So he could show off his electric car.
	He's got a diesel generator.
	And the people around there said, this thing is smelly, it's noisy, it's running all the time.
	Stop this. But this is what Scotland is doing with their wind turbines.
	What a crazy grift this is.
	Because, you know, if the wind is not blowing, they still got to generate some electricity.
	And so they fire up the diesel generators.
	Scotland's power sector criticized after it was revealed dozens of giant turbines have been using diesel generators.
	A whistleblower said the windmills are only turning thanks to hydrocarbon fuels, diesel.
	They've got these things running up to six hours a day.
	The diesel is running. Because, you know, the wind doesn't blow all the time, and that's one of the reasons why this is a problem.
	A Scottish Labour member said, using diesel to de-ice faulty turbines is an environmental madness.
	See, that was in Texas.
	They weren't expecting the windmills to freeze up.
	They did cause massive power outages because they have rewarded so many of these billionaires by building a power structure.
	They spent billions of dollars to build an infrastructure to pipe back the electricity generated in these remote wind farms.
	But then when we got cold weather, they froze up.
	So perhaps they're running these things for six hours a day to de-ice them.
	But this person, Colin Smith, said it is environmental madness.
	This is one of the people who actually believed the climate fairy tale.
	It's very difficult when you get disillusioned, isn't it?
	Wait until he hears about Santa Claus.
	It's really going to be difficult for Colin.
	The Scottish National Party, the Green Party...
	They're being condemned for dishonesty, and they found out that, well, they had originally told everybody that Scotland possessed 25% of Europe's wind energy potential.
	Well, that's not true.
	This revelation has found that 60 turbines at one wind farm in Scotland and 11 at another one were connected to six huge diesel generators.
	Last month, the Scottish Energy and Climate Change Directorate.
	They call it a directorate, right?
	Because we're talking about becoming authoritarian communist countries here.
	They responded to a Freedom of Information Act request asking how many wind farms use diesel generators as backup and how many do not.
	You see, they're not just using it to de-ice these things.
	They're using it as backup.
	And that's the way renewable sources of energy have always been used as backup because they're not dependable.
	You know, the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day in case you hadn't noticed.
	But the wind doesn't always blow either.
	So their response said the Scottish government does not specifically gather information on whether wind farms use diesel generators as backup.
	So they asked another question because it's being a little bit cagey.
	It's like trying to talk to chat GPT or a smart bomb.
	We are aware, they said, That one wind farm does have permission to use diesel generators.
	Oh, so they want to say, well, we don't know if they're using it or not.
	But they were asked permission.
	And these people didn't say, wait a minute, you're creating this super clean environmental thing.
	What do you need a diesel generator for?
	They were in on this thing from the very beginning.
	They're in on this fraud.
	The Scottish National Party and the Green Party.
	We're also aware from recent official level engagement with Scottish Power Renewables that these two wind farms use diesel generators as backups as they kept asking them questions.
	They, like peeling off the layers of an onion, they start to get to the core of the truth.
	Huge, dirty generators.
	This is the same thing all the time when you look at the Paris Climate Accord.
	China is allowed to build as many coal power plants or whatever they want to burn, and there's no restrictions on emissions.
	None whatsoever. No emission on the quantity, no restrictions on the quantity of these things, and no restrictions on the quality of the air, the emissions that come out of them.
	And so, same thing is happening now here, evidently, with the wind power.
	They secretly put in diesel generators to make that up.
	Now, if they're getting a massive subsidy, they're using these things as a backup.
	And so, they're also applying now, and this is not just something that was done once.
	They now have 20 onshore wind projects.
	And all these documents, as they continue to look at the information, get the information back, all these mention having diesel generators to use as a backup.
	So they won't let you use Coal plants or oil plants or natural gas or something like that that's had a lot of emission controls put on it that is very, very clean.
	You can't use that as a backup.
	No, we're going to shut those things down.
	And then bring out some dirty temporary diesel generators.
	That'll be fine. What fraud?
	And the other thing that's fraudulent about this is that they're getting all of this subsidy pretending that it's being generated by wind when it's really generated by these diesel generators.
	What a sham!
	What incredible sham.
	Oh yeah, I got these diesel generators, but guess what?
	You know, a quarter of the time I'm going to be running these diesel generators.
	But pay me and, you know, give me subsidies, green subsidies, all this other kind of stuff.
	I got a dirty diesel generator here, and you're going to pay me as if I've got some emission-free green power source.
	By the way, I just wonder, while we're talking about this, we've always talked about this.
	I'm sorry, 12 years ago.
	It was 2011. It's 12 years ago.
	This is what I was doing when they started making these renewable energy mandates.
	One of the first places where they had the mandates was in Colorado.
	You know, the same people I talked about yesterday, putting wolves out.
	And so...
	I was with a group that was trying to stop that.
	We did a lawsuit, just like we did a lawsuit trying to get Michael Mann to turn over his data that was fraudulent.
	We knew it was fraudulent. And he hit it.
	He was able to keep that.
	We lost in court. He was able to keep it secret.
	We lost in terms of fighting this, but this is a real problem.
	And at this point in time, we were talking about the fact that they bring on these renewables which are not steady state and they're not reliable, and so you have to have something there to run.
	We're putting wind on trial because people don't understand the facts behind wind.
	We believe that if people knew how variable wind was and how dirty it was, if they knew the wind is neither free nor clean, then they may not Have government demand its use.
	Wind energy is very variable.
	When the wind blows, you're in good shape, but on a second-by-second basis, the wind energy goes up and down.
	Because electricity must balance a demand and supply, any changes in the supply have to be taken up by some other supply.
	Typically fossil fuel.
	So you've got a fossil fuel plant that is running up and down, much like a car in traffic in the city.
	That's inefficient. It uses more fuel than it needs to, which causes more pollution.
	And it burns dirtier, which causes more pollution.
	And the pollution control equipment doesn't work as well, which causes more pollution.
	So just trying to keep the energy balanced on the grid when wind is there causes pollution.
	And if you took wind off the grid and just used the fossil fuel plant the way it was intended to be used, it would be like a car on the highway driving in a steady stream.
	That would cause less pollution than if wind was on the grid.
	Now the question comes up, how do we know that it's dirtier?
	And as a variety of studies have been done, one of the ones we're relying on in our Colorado lawsuit is the Bentex study.
	They examined with great care how much pollution comes out under different wind and fossil fuel scenarios.
	That study's available on the web, and it's a very good study that no one has ever refuted.
	In a free market system, the marketplace should be able to pick the winners, not the government.
	Because wind is not the good deal that people say, because it costs more, because it comes out of the pocketbooks of Americans who can't afford more, we believe it's time to put wind on trial.
	We took this lawsuit because we're a pro-environmental organization.
	We have found, as have others, that use of renewable energies can cause more pollution than it prevents.
	And it's also unconstitutional.
	So we take in this case to try to fix the problem that's both a legal problem and an environmental problem.
	Yeah, so the wind energy and these other things cause more environmental damage.
	And you've got to have that energy somehow.
	And if you can't get it from the wind, well, then you've got to ramp up Your power plant.
	But if you killed the power plants, bring out a dirty temporary diesel generator.
	That's where they are now. Yeah, that was 12 years ago.
	So why isn't big oil losing any sleep over this new climate deal?
	As they point out, this is CNN wringing its hands and saying, oh, we said we're going to get rid of fossil fuels, but it's exploding.
	They're doing more development and more discovery.
	Of course, we're not going to be allowed to refine that stuff in the United States because they're not allowed to have any more refineries built here.
	They'll ship it to China.
	Because they'll manufacture the refined petroleum products, and then they'll also manufacture whatever we need, because we're going to export all of that.
	And then the real issue, as I said, with COP28, we exported our energy usage, which is necessary for manufacturing, and we exported that offshore to China.
	Now what they want to do with COP28 is they want to come after the wealth of the Western nations.
	And turn it over to people in China.
	I'm sorry, not China, but in Africa.
	As climate reparations is what they're going to call it.
	And it's a big grifting operation.
	They're going to have these people go in.
	The people who are going to get the money are going to be, all the governments are going to send our money to Africa.
	And then the African dictators are going to buy stuff.
	From these Davos billionaires, after they've skimmed a lot of money off of it.
	But we'll be the ones who get the bill, just as always.
	But anyway, following Marathon Talks, says CNN... The COP28 climate summit in Dubai struck a deal that makes an unprecedented call for, quote, transitioning away from fossil fuels.
	Some countries, like the U.S., welcome the firmer-than-ever commitment to moving away from energy resources that are responsible for planet heating emissions.
	Again, this is CNN spewing this nonsense.
	But the resolution is marred by loopholes.
	That offer the fossil fuel industry numerous escape routes.
	U.S. oil production is at a record high.
	India plans to double their coal output by 2030.
	2030? Isn't that when we're supposed to have everything super clean and under surveillance?
	The UK is issuing new drilling licenses in the North Sea.
	American oil majors are splurging billions on deals that signal that they see robust demand for decades to come.
	You see, all this stuff is virtue signaling.
	And it is all stuff that is going to be used.
	These people are going to make their money. They're going to make their money from oil, coal, other things like that, coming out of other countries, not out of ours, necessarily.
	But these agendas are going to be used to impoverish and to enslave us.
	That's what it's really about. They're still going to make their money.
	They're going to make their money getting government subsidies for these renewable things or being able to do business as usual.
	The latest evidence is you look at Exxon.
	October announcement of a $60 billion deal to acquire Shale Driller.
	Chevron has an agreement two weeks after that.
	That was done in October.
	Later to buy Shale producer Hess for $53 billion.
	Hess has large oil assets in Guyana, which is where Venezuela is talking about invading.
	They said it will help to grow their production over the next decade or so.
	Occidental Petroleum said it would pay $12 billion in cash and stock to buy a U.S. shale oil producer.
	So altogether, you've got three deals here.
	They're about $125 billion.
	And then if you look at Australia, another $50 billion oil and gas deal was going to happen there, also involving liquid natural gas.
	So the response from a person who wrote a book on ESG tells CNN, the markets aren't functioning properly.
	No, actually, the markets are functioning properly.
	They say the markets aren't functioning properly because they're not rewarding the right company.
	So we need to have more government intervention.
	That's what these people always push.
	We need to make sure that the markets reward those oil companies that are decarbonizing at pace.
	No, they don't want any market input.
	They want to have the government be the marketplace.
	Again, when you look at ESG, they've got one customer.
	And so I guess you could say, in that sense, the markets are not...
	Not functioning properly.
	We're not giving our one customer, the governments, exactly what they want.
	And so the government, the marketplace, which is the marketplace, has to send some more signals.
	So instead of the government marketplace rewarding these people, maybe you need to bring them in and punish them for giving other people what they want.
	The industry invested only $20 billion in clean energy projects last year.
	Only about 2.5% of its total capital spending.
	I guess they've got to invest a lot of money in those diesel generators for the fraud that they are doing with these windmills.
	Goldman Sachs is going to shut down its climate ETF. They created an investment property that...
	Is essentially companies that are going to be trying to enforce the Paris Climate Accord.
	And as Zero Hedge says, another day, another ESG pipe dream, falling victim to reality.
	Green investing and ESG is a grift.
	It certainly is.
	Goldman Sachs had a Paris-aligned climate U.S. large cap equity ETF. The idea was to provide investment results that corresponded to the performance of Goldman Sachs equity index following the Paris-aligned capital investment.
	So they're shutting this thing down.
	They only had $7 million go into it.
	I think the market is speaking, isn't it?
	Everybody knows that this is a forced, coerced fraud.
	And a lot of these people don't want to put money into it anymore.
	Less than a week before that, we noted that $30 billion has been shaved off the value of clean energy stocks over the last six months.
	Zero Hedge also pointed out weeks ago how the ESG grift Well, it is kind of interesting.
	You know, some of these biggest supporters of these things are backing off, just like Ford.
	Oh, you know, this EV thing, it's not really working.
	Rural France, meanwhile, The farmers there are so upset about the flip-flopping that is constantly going on that there are flip-flopping signs there.
	Look at this. They're taking street signs and they're turning them upside down, carefully unscrewing them, turning them upside down, and then screwing them back on that way.
	And again, it's a way of showing that they're under distress in the same way that you would fly a flag upside down to show distress.
	Motorists in rural France have recently been astonished to see thousands of road signs at entrances to towns and villages turned upside down.
	The name-bearing roadside plaques have been unscrewed, flipped, and screwed back on.
	And I think that's a good protest.
	It's not destructive of anything.
	Get your message across. I think that's a great idea, frankly.
	It began with a protest in Southern Tarn in November.
	Now it's spread all over the country.
	The farmers are saying, we were trying to think of a way of denouncing all the contradictory instructions that we keep getting.
	If someone tells us to do one thing one day, and then the opposite the next, We say that we're walking on our heads in France, and so that's where this idea came from.
	We talk about flip-flopping.
	They talk about walking on their heads, but either one works with this.
	And this is a lot of environmental nonsense.
	Also, the government says, well, we want to have local farms, we want to support local farms, but do this, do that.
	We're going to increase the cost of...
	Diesel fuel for the farm.
	But we still want you to produce this food.
	We want you to do it at a cheaper price.
	We want you to pay your laborers more money and all the rest of these things.
	And so, how do we do all of that?
	They want us to raise the salaries we pay, but on the other end, we're told to lower our prices because of inflation.
	One of them tells us to change our practices.
	You can't do farming the way that you're doing.
	You've got to do something that is more environmentally friendly or aligned with what Davos and the UN want.
	But then they tell us to produce as much as possible so that we can have food sovereignty and independence.
	Well, this is all part of the chaos.
	It's just like Fauci flip-flopping on his mask.
	One day you wear it, one day you don't.
	Then we're going to mandate it.
	Now we're going to mandate three of them and all that type of stuff.
	And so it is really part of creating chaos.
	That's really deliberate.
	We talk about environmentalism.
	We've got Gates. First of all, let's pay the billionaires to plant trees.
	Or they can pay each other or whatever, and then they can do whatever they want.
	So you pay these carbon credits for people to plant trees because they've got to take the CO2 out.
	Now they flip-flop, and now Gates says, no.
	We're not crazy. We're not the crazy people here.
	After you paid me to plant the trees, now you're going to pay me to cut them down and bury them.
	And so it's constantly this flip-flopping.
	And the purpose is to turn everything upside down.
	Because as Fauci said, we've got to do it from the inside.
	We've got to create chaos and disruption.
	And we do it step by step.
	And that's the way all these MacGuffins work.
	Whether it's their health MacGuffin or their climate MacGuffin.
	So they said their campaign has helped to get the government to back off of a couple of two new taxes that they were talking about doing.
	So that's what's happening with the farmers.
	And then when you look at Italy, a positive sign there.
	The parliament has banned artificial food derived from animal cells.
	This is happening as the UK stores are banning plastic to virtue signal.
	At least in Italy, the parliament there is banning tumor meat.
	That's what I call it.
	Tumor meat. We're going to cultivate these cells in a lab and feed them to you.
	So... According to Reuters, they said that what it outlaws are cell cultures or tissue that are grown into meat.
	People will get up to $162,700 fine.
	They might have their government funding withdrawn.
	Here in the United States, that would be the big thing.
	Let's stop funding these corporations that are working against us.
	That would be a job for the Republicans, who have the majority in the House, because that's where they can stop the spending bills.
	Or to be shut down completely.
	And so, here in the United States, you've got, this is not happening.
	Instead, you've got Bill Gates and you've got Tyson coming together to talk about how they're going to have lab-grown chicken and they're going to grow bugs for us.
	The United States is only the second country in the world to approve cell-based chicken.
	The other one is Singapore.
	Which approved it back in 2020.
	It's a very expensive process.
	I don't know that it necessarily makes any sense from an economic or an energy standpoint.
	But who cares about that?
	We'll have a cyber truck that weighs 7,000 pounds.
	Who cares about the energy efficiency of that?
	The costly process involves extracting stem cells and giving them a nutrient-dense bath in vitamins, minerals, salt, and even soy inside a steel bioreactor.
	An average batch takes about two weeks to harvest.
	But they said in Italy, the agricultural minister, whose name is Lola Brigida, said, lab products, in our opinion, do not guarantee quality or well-being.
	In other words, they're not safe and effective.
	We don't like these things.
	And we're trying to protect our culture and our tradition.
	And we want good quality stuff.
	So good for them. But that's not what we have in the United States.
	We're not doing that at all.
	Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	When we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about what is happening with the election.
	Oh, I'm sorry. When we come back, we're going to be talking to Tony, Tony Hardeman.
	And so we'll make a quick break here, and we'll be right back with Tony.
	Stay with us. Elvis.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
	And the sweet sounds of Motown.
	Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com.
	The Oldies channel is a production of the Oldies channel.
	The Oldies channel is a production of the Oldies channel.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And joining us now is Tony Ardeman of Wise Wolf Gold.
	There's been a lot of development in the financial markets.
	I want to talk to Tony about that.
	Thank you for joining us, Tony.
	It's good to see you, David. Thanks for having me.
	Thank you. Yeah, what do you think about this?
	You got the Powell pivot.
	Was it really a surprise that they baked this up?
	We had a stock market jumped up on it, but we already had some people who...
	We think they're going to lower interest rates earlier than we originally thought, but everybody knows they're going to lower it because of the election stuff.
	But how has that affected gold?
	Well, you know, you have a lot of the fake paper markets, and I think it's helping drive the price right now, especially in those sectors.
	But that's really not what the issue with gold is right now.
	And it's funny, I was looking at the headlines, like, Santa Pal is driving the markets and happy days are here again.
	It reminded me of something, you know, he used the word transitory.
	Him and Janet Yellen about inflation.
	It was transitory. It was transitory.
	And then He became very hawkish.
	And then he raised rates faster than any rate in history.
	But I like what they described now as the rate that they're holding.
	They called it the terminal rate.
	And I thought terminal really describes it better, doesn't it?
	It's a terminal rate now, David.
	So, they've decided they're going to raise rates or lower rates three times starting in 2024 and perhaps into 2025 another four times.
	That's what they say.
	And really, they don't have a lot of choice.
	If you're going to prop up the domestic economy, you're going to have to goose it with cheap fiat currency debt.
	It loves it.
	It survives off of that.
	So I think that's the plan right now.
	You're so right. It's an election year that has nothing to do with sound economics or actually saving the dollar or anything like that.
	I think you're just watching this play out where they're hand in glove with the federal government and the sitting administration.
	This is the deal. Yeah, and if they can do moves that are going to cause the stock market to pick up, then everybody looks at their portfolio value going up.
	Well, I'm happy with this, you know?
	So, yeah, it's funny.
	They call him Santa Pal. I saw a cartoon of somebody had Klaus Schwab and had a person sitting on his knee, and they called it Santa Klaus.
	And he says to the person, he says, you'll get nothing and you'll be happy.
	Yeah. That's basically what Santa Claus is, the Grinch who stole everything from us.
	Yeah, Zero Hedge has got a thing, quoting Powell, and they call it the Powell Pivot.
	They said, so on December the 1st, he said this.
	He said, it'd be premature to speculate on when policy might ease.
	Then on December the 13th, he said, rate cuts are something that begins to come into view and clearly is a topic of discussion.
	So I guess there's been a lot of economic change or political change, is really what we're looking at there, right?
	Well, it's very malleable.
	It's transitory, David. All policy is transitory.
	But I think Terminal better describes it.
	Because what you're watching is the collapse of a system.
	And, you know, it's funny to watch the commentators and everything across the Twittersphere or the X-Sphere or whatever it is now.
	We'll get into a couple of tweets here in a little while.
	There's so much faith in the fake stock market.
	It's really unbelievable. Especially when you realize, you know, you have so much of the popular culture is looking at inflation now.
	Because it's just, it's so evident.
	I mean, you know, it's gradually over your lifetime things start to increase in price and you kind of get used to that because you hear your parents talk about, oh, it used to cost a dime a gallon for gasoline and all, you know, I can go to the movies for a nickel.
	You hear all that stuff. Well, I think even with the memes like Home Alone, where the prices increased 247% and people are taking notice of that, what's interesting to have the side-by-side thinking is that on one hand, you have cultures realizing inflation is real, that the dollar is fake.
	And on the other hand, they say, well, I think we have a soft landing.
	I think everything's going to be fine now.
	Well, if the trend is always to lose, the dollar loses value, then how can you have any faith in that system where you're investing?
	It's rigged against you.
	The mere fact that you're dealing in something that constantly loses value is in and of itself theft.
	So it's funny, David, I was, uh, I was just doing some calculations before the, the, we did the show and, uh, I have this two and a half dollar gold Indian.
	Okay.
	This is, I know you can't see it, right?
	I'm holding up to the camera, but it's a, it's about the size of a dime.
	Wow. $2.50, $247, and meltable gold.
	If you want to see a side-by-side comparison of what happened to the dollar, that's a great example.
	That's where we are now.
	And 10 years, 20 years from now, it's going to be even further away.
	So really, I think you're watching two separate things happen.
	The old system and people are still running back to it because they have the familiarity with it and normalcy bias.
	Very dangerous because on the horizon, you've got a complete reshuffling, I believe, of the global currency system.
	Central banks are buying gold at a record pace.
	We talk about that all the time.
	I think that's really what's behind the gold price.
	You'll have these fluctuations and you'll have some profit taking.
	But we're on a trend.
	this is not the, the last part of a bull market or the, This is something totally different, in my opinion.
	This isn't about investment.
	This is about watching history happen.
	As a matter of fact, I was listening to a couple different podcasts, and I got on Robert Kiyosaki's Twitter, and I was thinking, this is what I'm watching, especially with some of the gold analysis.
	This is like the Twilight Zone.
	When he says in the opening, there's a signpost on the road ahead.
	We're watching the signpost.
	We're on the outer limits where we control the vertical, we control the horizontal.
	We are completely in control of everything, and we're going to manipulate it, and we'll have our media come in.
	I'm looking at this headline where it says, this is from the Hill, Fed keeps rates at a 22-year high as inflation retreats.
	I guess all the inflation retreated between December the 1st and December the 13th, right?
	It all just went away.
	So we can completely change that.
	And it has nothing to do with an election year, right?
	Nothing.
	Nothing whatsoever.
	It's very malleable, very transitory.
	Actually, it's terminal.
	And I think this is what we're going to keep watching.
	This is going to be ugly.
	I had somebody comment on my ex.
	I get so – I don't know what I'm supposed to call the thing anymore.
	It's Twitter.
	Somebody mentioned me off of one of our interviews, and they were talking about gold is manipulated and you don't talk enough about BTC.
	It was a friendly tweet.
	And I said, well, actually, I love BTC. But there's going to be a revaluation soon.
	I don't know when. It's maybe not tomorrow or next week or this year.
	But it's coming. And it's going to be ugly.
	It's not going to be a pretty thing, you know, because you have decades of manipulation behind the gold price versus the dollar.
	And it's funny, I want to...
	There's a tweet up on Gold Telegraph.
	I don't have anything to do with this account, but I find it interesting and it's pretty on point.
	You can find him on X. And he asked, why doesn't...
	Let me find the tweet. It was talking about Jerome Powell.
	And it asked him, why hasn't a journalist asked Jerome Powell why central banks are buying gold?
	He says, it's just a pet rock, right?
	The Central Bank of the United States and the Federal Reserve is not buying gold.
	I think this is a huge tell of what's happening in the world and where we're headed.
	And again, almost no major financial network is talking about it.
	I think it's like you talk about, it's the Sherlock Holmes, the dog that didn't bark.
	Why aren't you talking, why are we focusing so much on these rate cuts?
	Mm-hmm. You know, it really is amazing, David.
	I mean, we're watching history happen, and there's a niche group of people and analysts that are looking at this, and wow, I get goosebumps thinking about it.
	We're really watching, and this is happening faster than I haven't even anticipated.
	Yeah. Because you and I, we talked about them lowering rates.
	We didn't see it possibly until getting closer to the election, summertime, 2024.
	No, they're already doing it because I think there's so many economic indicators that aren't talked about, like the Mises Institute talking about the contraction of the actual money supply, contracting faster any time since the Great Depression.
	Those are indicators of an economy that's dying.
	And you have hundreds, hundreds of zombie corporations that are left over, not only from 2008, but from the scandemic from 2020, they're propped up.
	You know, you were just, you were just hinting and talking about ESG and environmental social governance and how that all of those, those policies are linked to the federal reserve and the central bank.
	Those relationships are what keep these zombie corporations live.
	So you have possibly hundreds of systemic failures that could be going on simultaneously in the economy.
	If the dollar loses its grip anywhere.
	And so, it's not good.
	I wouldn't find this a Christmas rally.
	I would think of it as a good time to exit, in my opinion.
	Yeah, you know, you look at the establishment press, like I said, the Hill, the Washington Post.
	We've beaten inflation now.
	It's like, are you serious?
	And we talk about that policy of gradual inflation, which has now accelerated significantly.
	You held up that coin.
	When was that? You said it was from the 1930s, that coin?
	It's a 1909.
	I wish we had a better camera.
	It's a 1909. Two and a half dollar gold Indian.
	So that's before the creation of the Federal Reserve.
	What the Federal Reserve has done is get rid of 99% of the value of the dollar.
	It's not a way for us.
	It keeps people from being able to really accumulate wealth.
	And because they are anxious to be able to pay this back, to monetize the debt by saying, well, with inflation, we can pay it back with cheaper dollars.
	But they don't have to worry about that as long as they've got this fiat currency.
	They can just keep printing. And so when you tell people, don't worry, the Federal Reserve is going to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.
	And, you know, everybody just parties on.
	And so you see the Drudge Report.
	There's a big champagne glass up at the top.
	Let's party on. It's...
	Like it's 1999. There's absolutely no concern about these people going to bring down inflation without triggering a recession, says the Washington Post.
	Well, good luck with that. I hope that's true.
	But my concern, again, is when you look at the long-term value, you look at what the goal does hold its value long-term.
	But the other thing about it is that we've got to get out of the...
	The dollar system because of the CBDC. Now you mentioned Bitcoin.
	I've talked earlier this week about how focused they are on Bitcoin.
	And in terms of manipulating markets, they can manipulate, and they do, the gold, the silver market, but they also manipulate the Bitcoin market as well.
	It's got a small market cap for these people.
	It's very easy for these people to come in and manipulate it.
	And they've got all kinds of tools at their disposal.
	It could be anything that they're going to do.
	But Elizabeth Warren is flat-out focused on getting rid of cryptocurrency.
	And she's got the Biden administration focused on that with her as well.
	And if we're not careful, they're going to come after cash.
	They'll come after anything that is outside of their dollar.
	And so it is important to push back against that.
	But it's also... I like to physically have something in my possession because I'm just too concerned about what can be done with crypto and with manipulation.
	Well, you have Jamie Demon testifying before Elizabeth Warren, and he's done this many times.
	I do not trust this man.
	He goes out and he'll say something counter to Bitcoin, something derogatory.
	He'll dismiss it.
	And then you find out later that his bank and entities associated with J.P. Morgan are buying it.
	So he's dropping the price.
	built into his testimony, but it's pretty disgusting.
	And, you know, you talked about that, the argument that a lot of crypto people will say, well, actually, it's the dollar and it's cash.
	Yeah.
	So we should ban that.
	You know, but that's not the answer either.
	I totally, totally get that.
	Yeah.
	You know, there's another tweet from Gold Telegraph I thought was interesting because The Federal Reserve forecasts three rate cuts next year as inflation is still way above the target of 2%.
	The economic machine is broken.
	It's starting to make sense why CBDCs are coming so fast.
	Yeah. See, this is the controlled demolition to bring in the central bank digital currency.
	And they're going to go after Bitcoin.
	I don't know how much damage they can do to Bitcoin, but always look.
	This is a sleight of hand. Whenever they're going to release something new into the ecosystem, whether it's a spot Bitcoin ETF or whatever through the Security Exchange Commission getting all the approvals for the...
	The mainline financial behemoths to buy in.
	Always watch for them to try to bring it down first.
	And I don't know if that's what they're doing, but it makes sense to me.
	It's an old trick. They use it all the time.
	They get their clients in, and then they go out and they cheerlead for it.
	Bitcoin, it can be manipulated.
	It's actually harder to do than gold, in my opinion, because there can't be any new Bitcoin put into the system.
	They do manipulate it. They do it through the public relations.
	They do it through the testimony in front of Elizabeth Warren, in my opinion.
	And I don't know what that means.
	I do like Bitcoin.
	We talk about it.
	There's a lot of I loved crypto.
	I like crypto technology, David.
	But again, it's it's there's so much volatility over there.
	I don't I'm not telling anybody to go get into it.
	I think it's good to understand.
	But the reason that you and I talk every week is because we're not really talking about investments.
	We're talking about the overall historical implications of a dying dollar.
	Yeah, we don't want that.
	You and I don't want that to happen because it's going to it's going to hurt people.
	But we're trying to get people that are listening and are tuning in that are aware that getting outside of the system is the answer.
	Because having physical things that you trade that are outside of the banking system, because the banking system is very volatile.
	I never tell people to close out their accounts, but you need to be aware that there's things that could happen in this country, like bail-ins, freezing your account.
	There is a little-known bit of history after the 2008-2009 crash, the debacle, Where we had TARP funds.
	Just after that, David, I watched, this was on 60 Minutes, and it just didn't get a lot of coverage, but you would have teams of people from the FDIC that would go in at night and take over a bank, wear the uniforms, and let everybody go, and they would have the uniforms on, they would take over the bank.
	Those banks were repatriated.
	Basically nationalized by the FDIC. Major banks all over the country and they did this quietly as to not cause a banking panic.
	This happened all over.
	They would secretly... So you would go and your bank would still be open.
	And you think you're talking... But all the tellers and everybody operating there were FDIC employees.
	Wow. Wow. That's amazing.
	Well, you know, it is interesting because when we look at...
	Look at Jamie Demon, and of course he's the CEO of J.P. Morgan, but he's acting exactly like the namesake of it, you know, like J.P. Morgan himself, as he's manipulating these things and lying to people, as people pointed out that, oh, okay, so crypto is for criminals.
	Is that why you got your own coin?
	And as far as criminals, look at the billions of dollars that you had to pay in criminal fines and other things like that.
	But at the same time, when you look at the way J.P. Morgan, his namesake, manipulated the financial system, got us the Federal Reserve and everything, there's now this thing.
	I don't know if you... This is the first time I saw this, Tony.
	They started talking about this in July.
	The Basel III in-game regulations.
	Whoa. Does that sound like that's something from the Bank of International Settlements?
	Yeah, it is. And it's under this...
	The guise, Tony, of saying we're going to take care of, we've got to control these big banks because they're dangerous, right?
	And so we've got to have, if you've got assets of $100 billion or more, we're going to put some additional capital requirements on you.
	And of course, the people who are pushing this new stuff, Daily Caller's got an article about it.
	The people who are pushing it, Are the people like Elizabeth Warren, J.P. Morgan, these other people, they keep saying, well, we've got to get these big banks under control, and so we're going to create the Consumer Financial Protection Board.
	And yet, what did that do?
	That made it impossible for the small and medium-sized banks to do business.
	It made it harder for small businesses to get loans and things like that.
	This is, they call it endgame.
	That's what they call it, Basel III Endgame Regulations.
	And the endgame is, I think they want to end small business and small banks.
	Because that's what this is going to do.
	They're going to double the capital requirements for that, which means that they're going to go up in interest rates for everybody, and it's going to put some of these smaller banks out of business.
	So just arbitrarily raise the regulations and the capital requirements.
	Sorry you don't meet that anymore, and that's the way they bring in the FDIC goons to shut them down.
	Well, it's just like to go back to history.
	The crash of 1907 was orchestrated to help public opinion turn towards a new central bank.
	Of course, they didn't call it that. They had the meeting at Jekyll Island on November 22, 1910.
	Funny thing about J.P. Morgan, too.
	It's something I noticed.
	His lifespan, he was born in 1837.
	His lifespan was the exact amount of time that we didn't have a central bank.
	He died in 1913.
	So from the year one of not having a central bank, Andrew Jackson said, I killed the bank.
	He wanted that on his tombstone.
	He called him a den of vipers and thieves and got rid of the bank.
	And we didn't have one from 1837 to 1913.
	And always a crisis was used to precipitate the will to do that.
	And they actually had some real skullduggery setting that up, too, David.
	I know your documentary, It's a Wonderful Lie, it's coming up on that time of year again.
	That's right.
	They ran it through on Christmas Eve, actually December 20th, coming into the 23rd, 24th, when Congress went home.
	They used a lot of skullduggery, and they actually opposed it, those who had...
	Written the bill, like Aldrich, opposed that sort of, it's too strong, it's too regulatory.
	And it's very, very brilliant the way that they did that.
	And I think this is what, more and more consolidation, and if you study, you know, conspiracy, or if you want to call it that, if you want to study the conspiracy theory of history, it's all about consolidation.
	So it would make sense that the bank, International Bank of Banks is the BIS. As a matter of fact, a little-known fact, the gold that was turned in in 1933, when Franklin Roosevelt said, turn in your gold, and he had the price of gold at $20 an ounce, and once he accumulated all that he figured he was going to get, they raised the price of $35 an ounce.
	Well, that gold went to Basel, Switzerland, to the Bank of International Settlements.
	Yeah. Did they put it in a SEAL train with Vladimir Lenin?
	They waited a few more years.
	Yeah, that's right.
	They had to fund communism.
	That's true. It truly is amazing.
	It really is a den of vipers and thieves, and Andrew Jackson was right about that, wasn't he?
	And it is amazing. You know, David Stockman, when I talked to him, and he's written subsequent articles about this as well, the destruction of the American middle class.
	If you divide it out, we just had a congressman say, well, you know, it divides out to $100,000 debt per American that we've got out here.
	And he says, when you look at the fact that you had this massive quantitative easing, the lowering of interest rates, and all the rest of this stuff, And look at how that transferred money to the upper smallest percentage, the 1% or the 1% or the 1%, the 0.1%, and how much wealth they gained at the expense of other people because they're in the stock market.
	It's one of the reasons, I guess, that Trump and Biden constantly talk about the stock market.
	That is their metric for success.
	That's a big part of the wealth transfer when they pump that up.
	But as he's pointing out, this is destroying the middle class.
	And it's not just the quantitative easing and the interest rates and other things like that, but it was also the Trump trillions that were put in there with the COVID stuff.
	That's what David Stockman talked about when he came on here talking about that.
	And he's got a book coming out in January talking about how Trump disrupted the economy, and he calls it the war on capitalism.
	And it truly was a war on capitalism.
	Because you're not even going to really be a good thing for the economy even through the stock market.
	It's just a temporary sugar high.
	What they're doing is by laying this kind of debt across society, they really are enslaving us and taking away everything out of the society.
	And so this is something that's going to continue.
	And we've seen with all of the debt policies, we've seen how gold is kind of hung in there.
	But again, the thing I keep coming back to is to completely restructure the financial system and to completely restructure that with CBDC.
	So my instinct is to hang on to something that is physical and traditional and that has really been there for a long time.
	Talk a little bit about silver.
	You know, everybody keeps talking about how silver is down at such a small ratio.
	Has there been any move in silver recently?
	Any indication of silver changing?
	We saw Bitcoin go up.
	We saw gold go up in response to this news that interest rates were going to go down because everybody saw that as being inflationary.
	What about silver? Has that moved at all?
	Not like it should. I mean, looking at goldprice.org right now, that's where I keep the spot prices rotating.
	$24.17, so 24.17 Luciferian Bankster notes make one troy ounce of silver on the global spot price.
	That is cheap.
	And historically, I'm going to have to get my calculator out, but I think it takes like 87 or so We're good to go.
	Where you have maybe an error, only in our error, when we have central banking and the markets are so skewed and values so skewed and we really don't know what houses any value, do you jump to crazy numbers like 87 ounces of silver to make one ounce of gold?
	That makes no sense. I mean, even geologically, David, it takes 17 ounces of silver for every one ounce of gold, estimated, in the ground.
	So why would you have in the third dimension developed mind and process?
	How can it be 87?
	During the crash in Scandemic, the beginning of the first quarter of 2020, it was 125 ounces to one ounce of gold.
	So, it doesn't make any sense when you have, you know, I was one years old, and it was $50 an ounce.
	Again, almost 44 years ago, it was $50 an ounce.
	That makes no sense, knowing what we know about the debasement of the dollar.
	The debt of the U.S. at the time was less than a trillion.
	We're at $33.5 trillion and climbing rapidly.
	We have a 130% debt-to-GDP ratio.
	Why is silver so cheap?
	These are open, especially when it's the most thermoconductive metal.
	I'm a cheerleader for silver.
	Not even as an investment, but just look how crazy that number is.
	It's so cheap right now.
	But you still won't find mainstream analysts talking about it.
	Because there's something wrong with it, and I do know that you talk about Jamie Demon.
	Who's the largest holder of silver in the world?
	It's J.B. Morgan. Yeah.
	He's waiting for something to happen, isn't he?
	And they're accumulating the physical.
	Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's interesting.
	I guess maybe we should start looking at what he accumulates rather than looking at what Nancy Pelosi's been a good bellwether, her husband.
	His portfolio, you know, if you mirrored him in the stock market, you'd do pretty well.
	Just hammering away. Exactly, he's hammering away at it.
	So yeah, maybe it's JP Morgan that you need to look at.
	Tell us a little bit about what is happening as we run up into Christmas.
	We talked a little bit about it last week when you were on.
	You got some commemorative things there, perhaps, and some other gifts.
	What kind of gift ideas do you have at WiseWolf.gold?
	Well, definitely anything that you need for gold and silver a week, you can buy direct through DavidKnight.gold.
	But we also have our membership program.
	And as little as $35 a month or just one-time purchase, you can get Wolf Cub.
	And that's for kids. And Melissa put together a great newsletter, actually, and the team helped to.
	We have a newsletter for Wolf Cub, and it tells a story.
	It has some crossword puzzles.
	Yours truly did the questions for the crosswords, like fiat is, you know, fake.
	You can look that up. I don't want to ruin the crossword.
	It's fun for kids.
	Next year, I've got a lot of attention I'm going to pay to the Wolf Cub for history, different types of coins, even stuff like the Indian head pennies and things that are neat because those are still copper.
	Copper is going to be in the news, I promise you, next year, folks.
	All the precious metals will be, the resources will be there, but we're focusing on gold and silver.
	Wolf Pack has so many great things happening right now.
	I'm going to be putting in some Christmas rounds.
	I know those are already going out, one-ounce Christmas commemorative silver rounds and fractional coins.
	And we stayed ahead of the market.
	We bought some gold early, so we've still got supply on some of the fractional stuff.
	But the plan is, and we're really thankful, is to grow next year, continue to add members so we can buy collectively for everyone better deals and better supply.
	So that's my goal right now.
	I'm kind of floating back between Branson and North Texas with our two locations and just keeping the supply chain open.
	It's not as easy as it may sound.
	There's not a lot of availability in product like there used to be when I started this business.
	I imagine so.
	Well, it's always great to talk to you.
	And again, davidknight.gold.
	Tony has set that up to take you to wisewolf.gold.
	And he's got some great programs there where you can do this gradually, where you can train kids with a wolf pack.
	And we can also get information because he's building a little community there.
	You can get information, exchanging it with other people as well as gradually saving.
	But of course, he can get you gold and silver in any quantity, large or small.
	And that's one of the key things about that.
	Tony, it's always great talking to you.
	And again, nobody knows what the future is going to be, but we need to do what we can.
	The older I get, the more conservative I get, because when you're young, you make a lot of mistakes, don't you?
	I've had experiences with some of the more speculative investments.
	That's why I get more conservative as I get older.
	It is so good to talk to you.
	And again, davidknight.gold will take you to Tony and let him know that you came through us.
	Thank you so much, Tony. Appreciate it.
	Thank you, David. Appreciate it.
	Okay, folks, we're going to be right back.
	Hear news now at APSRadioNews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story.
	APS Radio
	News APS Radio News now, The David Knight Show.
	Well, I've got a couple of comments here.
	On Rockfan, Wes Robertson says, Ken Starr's vaudevillian schtick was a smokescreen to hide the fact that Slick Willie was involved in the biggest tech transfer to China and U.S. history.
	Yeah, absolutely. I remember when Rush Limbaugh used to have...
	He had that guy that did parody songs and he did Secret Asian Man, Johnny Wong, and transferring all that stuff to China.
	Interesting that everybody knew that.
	Interesting that nothing was ever done about that, you know?
	Again, Ken Starr's not going to do anything about it.
	They might impeach him, but they're not going to bring up the big issues like that.
	We see the same thing. We see history repeating itself now as well.
	On Rumble, Billy the Kid Part 2, Hobby Lobby has black Santa Claus for sale to show that they're not racist.
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	Yeah, Hobby Lobby. And of course, you know, as Megyn Kelly told us, we all know that Santa Claus is white.
	What else do we know for sure about Santa Claus?
	It's crazy. But anyway.
	And on Rock Fan, Jason Parker, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, your album is great, David.
	Thank you for the beautiful music.
	Well, thank you for the compliment.
	I really do appreciate it.
	And for the tip. And by the way, folks, the album is...
	At TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	And if you go to the merchandise thing, you'll see it is available as a digital download.
	So please tell your friends about it.
	If you like it, we would appreciate that.
	Especially as it comes up in the Christmas season, everybody has, these are traditional songs, but we've got a little bit different take on it and re-orchestrate it, re-imagine it.
	So it's a little bit, it kind of freshens up the classics that are there.
	And, you know, we all listen to it.
	It's nice to have the nostalgic songs that you listen to, but it's also nice to hear them in a little bit different way.
	And as you listen to Christmas music, you may want to have something that's going to freshen up a little bit, and maybe it'll become a new tradition for you.
	Let's talk a little bit about what's going on with politics.
	We've got Marjorie Taylor Greene warns that MAGA would revolt.
	That's what she says. If Haley is, Nikki, or Nuki Haley, is made the vice presidential candidate for the Trump ticket.
	And she says, Michael would revolt if Nikki Haley were to even be given an internship in Trump's next administration.
	I don't understand why they didn't have any problem with all the cabinet picks that he had in the first place.
	But why are they so concerned about Nikki Haley there as vice president?
	Trump already made Fauci president in 2020.
	Did they not notice that? How many times have I said that?
	Trump stepped down and made Fauci the president.
	Do what he says.
	He's going to determine everything that's going to happen.
	We're going to be ruled by bureaucrats.
	I said that when we were running up to the election in 2020.
	I said, why would I care about the election?
	Trump turned us over to the bureaucracy.
	You know, being ruled by bureaucrats with Fauci as president.
	So why do I care about any of this stuff?
	But of course, MAGA, which hated all that, hated the lockdown, hated the vaccine, hated the mask, all the rest of the stuff.
	Oh, but they love Trump.
	But he made Fauci president.
	I wouldn't be surprised at all if he did the same thing with Nikki Haley.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene goes on to say, she represents the neocon establishment America last wing of the Republican, the America last wing of the Republican Party that we are absolutely done with.
	Well, I think she looks just like Trump's cabinet.
	As a matter of fact, Trump picked her.
	And I remember, you know, off air, I said to Roger Stone, I said, why in the world?
	Would Trump ever put Nikki Haley in for anything?
	Put her in as UN ambassador?
	This is typical of what he has done with everybody in his cabinet.
	He put neocon warmongers in, generals all over the place.
	He put Goldman Sachs bankers in all over the place to run everything.
	He sold out to the Republican establishment.
	He sold out to the neocons.
	He sold out to the globalists at Davos.
	And everything he did in 2020 was a sellout.
	To the globalists. But as all this is happening, he's having a lot of fun, and so are his supporters with the dictator comments.
	People say, oh, he wants to be a dictator and anything.
	Yeah, I'll be a dictator before day and all the rest of the stuff.
	So they love it. He's joking about it.
	The problem is, as I said, just like with Nikki Haley.
	Oh, he's going to make her vice president.
	He made Fauci president. He's going to be a dictator.
	Did you not notice what happened in 2020?
	How they were dictating everything?
	And of course... They are clever about it, clever enough to say that we're not going to issue the orders directly.
	We're going to make recommendations and suggestions, and then if you don't follow our recommendations and suggestions, we'll take that money away.
	It's kind of like what we were talking about before with social media.
	Well, it's a nice social media company you got there.
	It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it.
	And so they come in and say, well, that's a nice program you got funded by the federal government.
	It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it.
	That's the way they do this.
	And so Trump is in Iowa.
	He's very angry because the governor there, Kim Reynolds, has endorsed DeSantis.
	And so he's there in his rallies, trashing her.
	And what he says is, we love loyalty.
	We. We. I love how these politicians refer to themselves as we.
	We love loyalty.
	As a matter of fact, that's the only thing he cares about.
	When the oppositional mainstream press is looking at him, they say, well, look, he's going to fill his cabinet with loyalists, as I said the other day.
	I said, well, don't they all? I mean, they all do that.
	But nobody loves loyalty and demands loyalty more than Trump does.
	It's the only thing he cares about.
	And he says, we love loyalty.
	He portrayed Reynolds as unfaithful to him.
	And he says, she's the least popular governor in the country, but I will be your ethanol champion.
	As I said, I went to a convention of think tanks when I was doing the kind of work that I showed you earlier.
	And one of the things they had there, they said, we're going to have a party.
	It's going to be done as a speakeasy.
	And if you want to get in, you knock on the door and we'll open up the little thing and you say, I'm here for the ethanol subsidy.
	Well, maybe that needs to be prohibited.
	These ethanol subs, everybody understands that it's a bad thing.
	But this is one of the things that the Republican Party, they like to feed it that trough for the climate stuff.
	Even the typical climate grifters in the Democrat Party don't even like the ethanol thing.
	But the farmers in Iowa like it.
	It's a payoff to them.
	But when we talk about grifting, Trump's got a legal defense fund.
	And it's raised not as much money as he would have liked to have raised.
	His defense fund has only raised $1.6 million over the last six months.
	They've spent, though, less than $30,000.
	So they're hanging on to the money, but almost all the money that they have spent has been on Mar-a-Lago.
	Not that he's paying his mortgage, but I guess in a sense he is, because he's held some lavish parties At Mar-a-Lago.
	And Trump used the donated money from his legal defense fund to pay for these parties at Mar-a-Lago.
	So in a sense, what he's doing is he's laundering the payments back to himself.
	No problem, right?
	A grifter's going to grift.
	That's what he's always done. That's what he did with Save America.
	He made $250 million off of his supporters after the election, where he changed the rules, where he made sure that it was going to be a mail-in election.
	And he made $250 million off of that Save America thing.
	I don't know how much money Alex Jones made off of Stop the Steal.
	But he made $250 million.
	And so now he's up to it again.
	He raised $1.6 million and he's paying for parties at Mar-a-Lago.
	The group that put this together is a political non-profit called the Patriot Legal Defense Fund.
	Except they're not paying any defense legal expenses for any of the Patriots January the 6th.
	I thought Trump loved loyalty.
	Is he loyal to those people whose pockets he picked?
	Who he sent into a trap?
	Yeah, it's the Democrats who laid the trap.
	He's the one who pushed the people into it.
	So the first periodic financial report they submitted to the IRS on Wednesday showed they only got $1.6 million in receipts, and about a million of that came from one group.
	One couple gave him a million dollars.
	There's somebody who has been...
	Connected with QAnon as well.
	And so he got $600,000 for receipts.
	But even though they haven't spent too much money, most of the money that they have spent, again, they spent $28,000.
	But $18,000 of that, the majority of it, was to rent a banquet hall from Trump at Mar-a-Lago back in November.
	And so, not a penny for the January Sixers and this Patriot Legal Defense Fund.
	By the way, you know, so he takes in $28,000.
	He spends $18,000 on a party there that he pays himself for the party.
	Amazing. Yeah, let's have a party and it's going to cost me $18,000 and I'll take that money on my legal defense fund.
	And so you say, okay, so he spent $10,000 on legal defense and $18,000 on a party at Mar-a-Lago.
	No, he didn't spend a single penny on legal defense.
	I don't know what he spent the other $10,000 on.
	They don't say here.
	But the fund reported no legal expenses.
	The legal defense fund did not spend a penny on legal defenses, but did spend nearly $20,000 on a party at Mar-a-Lago.
	And this is really, again, when you look at Trump and how obsessed he is with money, with loyalty, with these other things.
	He had absolutely no loyalty to his co-defendants in the Georgia thing.
	And even if he doesn't really like them, it wasn't a smart move.
	To not give them any money at all for their defense fund.
	And he didn't give any money to Rudy Giuliani.
	He didn't give any money to Jenna Ellis or any of the other people there.
	And so a lot of people have said that's not a good harbinger of what's going to happen because if these people are left on their own to fend for themselves without any money for their legal defense, they might just turn against him, which Jenna Ellis appears to have done.
	So the million-dollar donor was a foundation, a living trust.
	Court records show that it belongs to a couple.
	Last name is Borland.
	Ardent supporters for QAnon.
	And because of that, the Trump campaign canceled a fundraiser back in October 2020 because at that point in time they didn't want to be affiliated with QAnon.
	But now the Borlands are back and gave a million of the $1.6 million in his defense fund to him, but again, not paying a single penny for any legal expenses.
	The Supreme Court is agreeing to hear a January the 6th case that could affect Trump's prosecution.
	This is not something he's directly brought, but we've seen a lot of people who were charged with obstructing an official proceeding, looking at long jail sentences, and so several of these people have appealed to the Supreme Court as they should.
	It's an injustice. It truly is.
	And so in one of these cases, they have agreed here at the one of Joseph Fisher, seeking to dismiss a charge accusing him of obstructing an official proceeding if he wins or loses either way.
	It's going to affect the others who have brought this up.
	Fisher, by the way, has a federal public defender.
	Because, you know, he's got no money.
	He doesn't have a legal defense fund like Trump does.
	And again, Trump loves loyalty, but only in one direction.
	Only if that loyalty is to him.
	So he's got a public defender who is taking this to the Supreme Court.
	I hope he wins. But again, just having a lot of money for lawyers, as Trump does, doesn't necessarily mean you've got the judgment to pick a good lawyer.
	So, as we're talking about legal issues and the Impeachment of Biden, which just took the next step.
	We have an inquiry that has now been authorized by the House.
	Mike Johnson has said from the very beginning that not only were they going to do an impeachment investigation of Biden, an impeachment of Biden, but he said it was actually required because of his crimes.
	But again, the crimes that he's focused on, We're not the crimes against Americans, really.
	They're the crimes against his political opponents, the graft and the corruption, which we all knew about before the 2020 election.
	But they played a lot of games to cover that up.
	And I think that this is also a distraction, again, from this 702, which many of us see as a betrayal of the Fourth Amendment and the American voters.
	But we'll see what happens with that.
	That's still in the works. But it's also going to be a distraction away from these 2020 politics and policies that they had a hand in, and nobody's going to bring any charges for that.
	He deserved this a long time ago.
	But there's a lot more important crimes than what they're going to be coming after him for, just like we talked about with Ken Starr doing a pass and all this stuff.
	A 221 to 212 vote along party lines.
	Some people evidently not there.
	So far, the inquiry has been two-pronged.
	One of them looking at the Biden family's financial crimes.
	The other one on the weaponization of the Justice Department and the FBI against Americans, perhaps against January the Sixers or whatever, but we'll wait and see exactly how far that goes and how broad that goes.
	The Biden administration, like the Trump administration before it, has been so...
	Contemptuous. And again, doing gun control by executive order, piggybacking on to the precedent that Trump did.
	The unit party has never been more unified, quite frankly.
	We're very divided on personality, but in terms of policy, on the existential issues there, they're all together on that.
	And so, as you look at the...
	The inquiry looks like this is going to be something that's just going to be election year politics.
	I don't think there's anything that's going to come out of it other than that.
	Hunter Biden was very defiant about this.
	He gave a speech in Capitol Hill.
	He goes to the Capitol, but he doesn't go inside.
	He's subpoenaed to participate in deposition for part of a congressional hearing.
	Instead, he shows up at the Capitol, says, I'm not going to go there.
	This Trump attack machine is after me, but I'm standing right here.
	And the leftist media was eating that up.
	Mediaite, the story that you're looking at there, look at that headline, in a stunning news conference.
	I watched it.
	It was just boilerplate speech that was written for him by his daddy's speechwriters.
	And it was total nonsense.
	But, you know, again, Mediaite does this story on it.
	Drudge features it.
	I'm here today to acknowledge I've made mistakes in my life, and I've wasted opportunities and privileges that I was afforded.
	And for that, I'm responsible for that.
	I'm accountable. And for that, I'm making amends.
	What is he doing? I don't know what he's doing to make amends.
	Maybe Tucker could fill us in because they're such good friends.
	But I'm also here today to correct how the MAGA right has betrayed me for their political purposes.
	I am first and foremost a son, a father, a brother, a husband from a loving and supportive family.
	This reminds me, I talked about Gilbert and Sullivan the other day.
	Reminds me of the Pirates of Penzance, you know, the policeman out there.
	When a criminal is not a burglin, he's contemplating the Brooks and he's thinking about his mother and all the rest of this stuff.
	I mean, I'm just human like you.
	And of course he is. But he says, I'm proud to have earned degrees from Georgetown University and Yale, and I'm proud of my legal career, my business career.
	And so, you've got Breitbart.
	Nolte says, yeah, I'm a victim.
	He says, this guy's a victim.
	He refused to pay child support, even while he was spending nearly a million dollars on sex.
	And drugs. $872,000 on hookers, on porn, and on sex clubs while he fought tooth and nail to not pay any child support for his baby daughter.
	Yeah. So, I don't know.
	When he says he's going to make amends, is he going to start paying some child support about this stuff?
	So... The media is quickly backfilling on it, though.
	The New York Times is fixing up the quotes from Hunter Biden about financial involvement and business dealings.
	We saw as Comer was coming out of the meeting, he was challenged and debated by a reporter from the Washington Post.
	Kind of as a self-appointed lawyer, they're going to do everything they can to defend this criminal family.
	And the Republicans are not going to focus on the big crimes.
	We'll be right back.

	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, let's talk a little bit about what is going on with the pharmaceutical wars.
	I had this from a listener who...
	Said, just catching up on some of the show, heard about your blood pressure and arrhythmia issues, and I just tell everybody, went to the doctor, things are looking better.
	He says, I don't have any advice other than avoid most doctors and hospitals if possible.
	And of course, this is coming from Handy, who works in EMS. He says, prayer and knowing no matter what happens to this body, Jesus will keep us is the best medicine that money can't buy.
	And you're absolutely right, Handy.
	But then he also says this about the jabs.
	We're still occasionally dropping dead here.
	He says, I think you're spot on regarding these jabs.
	He said, more sick and dead people and way less OB calls.
	It's the new normal. I saw a 60-year-old male a few days ago who died while playing golf.
	He looked to be in great physical condition from what I could see.
	Another crew brought him into the ER while I was dropping off a patient.
	He says, I did ask the other crew if he took the vaccine.
	And the other crew said, well, we don't know, but probably.
	You see, they know as well.
	These are people, this is another crew, they're all working EMS, and they see this stuff happening all the time.
	Everybody knows what's happening with this.
	Why is it? That Trump and Biden are leading the charge in all this, and why is it that we only have people who are the ones who have been pushing this stuff from day one?
	Well, we know why. A Green Beret veteran talks about the Army's letter to soldiers being discharged.
	Again, you know, they're desperate on recruiting, and they made some gestures that might be interpreted by some people as wanting to pull this stuff back, but he's not buying it.
	He said, last month, the Army sent a letter to thousands of soldiers, This charge for refusing to comply with a shot mandate.
	He said the former soldiers who are involuntarily separated may request a correction for the military records, but he says it also states that individuals who desire to apply to return to service should contact their local recruiter.
	So he says the letter itself doesn't actually offer any policy change.
	He says instead...
	The Army talks about how proud it is of what they did.
	It reiterates, tries to evidently justify what they did.
	It reiterates policies the Army issued back in March of 2023.
	More importantly, there is no actual apology.
	In fact, it's quite the opposite.
	They say, we remain proud of the Army's response to the pandemic.
	Now, don't put yourself under people like this.
	They don't have the country's best interest at heart, as we see with what is happening with the wars everywhere, what the Pentagon is pushing.
	And they certainly don't have the best interest of their own soldiers at heart, do they?
	He says, this former Green Beret says, this is absurd.
	He said, these policies that the army is proud of, Led them to kick out around 2,000 soldiers, to mistreat many others, to deny soldiers their First Amendment religious freedoms, to coerce them to take what lawyers have argued was an experimental drug that potentially left many injured by the vaccines.
	What they're so proud of was that they ignored basic common sense.
	They threatened and often destroyed the livelihoods of soldiers who volunteered to defend this nation and the Constitution even with their lives.
	Well, I think we could also add that not only were many injured, many died.
	And these people destroyed the Constitution, and they destroyed their military readiness, which they're now trying to clamor back.
	That's why they and a lot of the hospitals who kick people out because they mandated these vaccines, you either get this or leave, all right, I'll leave.
	Now they're desperate to have these people back because they decimated their institutions.
	He says the unvaccinated were forced to wear masks, not allowed to use gyms during certain hours designated only for the vaccinated, and were subjected to weekly invasive COVID tests.
	These individuals were at times put into quarantine for extended periods, not allowed to leave their barracks or their ships.
	And in some training environments, unvaccinated soldiers were required to wear red wristbands.
	That said unvaccinated and red tape on their gear to indicate that their gear even was somehow unclean.
	And so this guy who was in the army says this is exactly the opposite of what you want to do.
	You want to try to create cohesiveness and a team.
	He said these tactics, these policies pitted service members against one another.
	When it is vital that service members will have each other's backs in times of war.
	This is one of the reasons why they said they were putting men in high heels and let them walk around.
	So they would get used to women and trannies and all the rest of this stuff.
	We've got to have cohesiveness.
	You've got to walk a mile in their red high heels.
	That type of thing.
	And yet they did just the opposite of all that with the vaccines because that was not what that agenda was about at all.
	It wasn't about creating cohesiveness.
	It's not about military readiness.
	As a matter of fact, the DMED database was about military readiness, and it was to monitor if that was being impacted with a biological or chemical attack that showed the truth.
	And they knew that the bioweapon, that the biological attack was the jab.
	And so they modified the database.
	The DOD made it extremely difficult for the unvaccinated to progress in their career.
	These policies seem to punish the unvaccinated.
	That's what Jabsinda Arden said.
	Looks like you're trying to create two classes of people in society.
	Yep, yep, that's what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	She smiles and laughs about that.
	Religious exemptions were either blanketly ignored or denied.
	Which is an absolute denial of our First Amendment rights of freedom of worship and a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
	The Army ignored its own medical policy.
	They did not accept medical exemptions based on prior immunity or infection.
	They contradicted their policy, and he quotes the Army regulation here.
	And so, you know, 2,000 in the Army, but over 8,000 service members were discharged.
	Many of those kicked out did not get an honorable discharge, but rather a general discharge, which means that they don't get all their VA benefits.
	They don't get their educational benefits.
	It affects their job applications, especially if they want to get a job within the government, which I think, even though for their own purposes, I understand that's difficult on them, but in a sense, I think that is a silver lining for the rest of us because we need good people.
	We need good people who have a backbone, who have a conscience, who will stand up We need those people outside of this corrupt enemy of the American people, the government.
	And so, in a sense, I think it's better for society, if not for these individuals, that they are not eligible for, you know, you get special preference if you're in the military, if you want to get a job for the federal government.
	But it's good that we have these people outside of Of the federal government.
	It is not just the military.
	He says they're responsible for this treatment.
	Members of Congress. And he's right about that.
	Are they going to investigate themselves?
	No. As a matter of fact, they don't want to talk about Trump or Biden or any of that because, again, it's going to come back to them.
	So Congress is going to be quiet about this, Republican and Democrat.
	Understand that most of, if not all, of the members of Congress Who sat by and rubber-stamped all this stuff for Trump and for Biden are still there.
	Most of the people who were there did rubber-stamp this.
	They didn't come in that recently.
	And about the only person who stood up to any of this stuff was Thomas Massey, and Trump wanted to end his career, was furious at him.
	He said, no, I want people to go on the record about this.
	This is ridiculous to spend $4 trillion.
	And the other things that are being done.
	Members of Congress are told by their constituents what was happening to those in the armed forces.
	Yet for years, the majority of those who vocally praise service members and thank them for their service weren't there to advocate for these people.
	Yeah, just like Sean Hannity, you know.
	I am so sick of that guy.
	What a hypocrite he is.
	Of course, he's now become a hypocrite on other pro-life issues as well.
	He doesn't care about the lives of the military.
	Every time you get somebody on, oh, thank you for your service if they're in the military, and yet he's the first person to want to send them off to war.
	He talks about being pro-life, and yet, oh, these babies are getting in the way of our election.
	Let's get rid of these babies.
	So how do we fix this, says the Green Beret leader.
	He says, well, because DOD leadership has proven ineffective at policing itself, Congress has to step up, and they have to hold military leaders accountable.
	So they'll have more hearings, more grandstanding perhaps, but they'll do nothing.
	And it's not just the Department of Defense leadership that was ineffective, but as he points out, Congress was as well.
	Congress didn't do anything. So we're going to have to get, you know, something.
	That's why I say the federal government is done.
	Focus locally. That's where you still have a chance.
	You still have a chance to have an honest election.
	You still have a chance to have an effect.
	And it's where your vote is.
	It is going to be the least diluted of all things.
	Where it's the most diluted of all things is the federal government, if it's even counted.
	Representatives must also hold regional hearings on this topic, he said.
	And so we need to...
	He talks about the people that were kicked out.
	He calls them involuntary veterans kicked out before they wanted to retire.
	So he said they need to get active.
	They need to talk about this.
	And I agree. I think everybody needs to push back on this.
	I don't think that, you know, anything's going to be done, but we need to not be silent about it.
	Because who knows? You know, when we're talking about this, we're not really expecting that the congressmen and women or the president are going to do anything about it, but we're actually talking to our fellow citizens and trying to educate them as to what's going on.
	That's the real issue here. It's waking up that critical mass.
	We're not going to get these. These politicians are not asleep.
	They're corrupt. And so we need to wake up the people who are asleep and not paying any attention, the people who have been lied to by the media.
	There must be a sincere apology.
	He said, I guarantee that something like this will never happen again.
	Well, that would be nice, not only from the Pentagon, but from all these politicians at every level, including the guys who are now the frontrunners for presidency.
	Half the population And one-fifth of them want a lockdown right now.
	Right now. Isn't that amazing?
	That's how effective this propaganda has been.
	And they knew they could do it.
	You know, we had... They started doing this back in 2002, I think.
	There was some flu. One year, there's some flu going around, and so they scared everybody in Asia to death, and they all started wearing masks, and now they still wear masks.
	And so there's going to be a really large percentage of the population that is going to continue to do that.
	In the UK, it's half of the people, 45%.
	Say that masks should be mandatory on public transport.
	And again, this is why we want to have cars.
	They really would have locked us down big time if we hadn't had cars.
	Cars are the way that we were able to circumvent a lot of this stuff.
	But there would have been no travel whatsoever if we were reliant on public transportation, on airports, planes, trains, that type of thing.
	Currently, there are no legal COVID-19 restrictions in place in the UK. Why is that?
	Well, it's because there's obviously not a pandemic.
	And you know, nobody is dying.
	Nobody was dying when they put these measures in.
	That's one of the things we talk about all the time.
	Isn't it amazing? You know, China locks us down because they claim that a couple hundred people out of 1.4 billion died with something.
	We can't verify that even.
	But they weren't even making a claim of it being an epidemic.
	But then everybody starts locking it down.
	And we did that.
	We did that.
	The UK did that.
	Locked everybody down when nobody was dying.
	And so why not lock everybody down when nobody is dying?
	45% support the reimposition of masks.
	16% of those saying they strongly support having to wear face masks on public transport.
	8% strongly recommending the rule of six.
	which limits the amount of people who can meet outside.
	Sounds like something from the prisoner, doesn't it?
	The Rule of Six.
	Uh, so, uh, millennials are the most likely to back these restrictions.
	Sorry about that, Travis. It's your generation.
	Crazy. Uh, and, uh, so 30% of them want to reintroduce the rule of six.
	Uh, Gen Z, uh, comes in excess of people that are, um, 18 to 24.
	Uh, More supportive of the closing of nightclubs.
	Gen X aged 41 to 55.
	Baby Boomers 56 to 74.
	They're both at 36.
	Gen Z supported closing nightclubs 27% for both Gen X and Baby Boomers.
	And then they talk about the silent generation aged 75 and up.
	The least supportive of any of this stuff.
	80% of them opposing it.
	And so when you look at this, the other thing I think that's interesting about this Let me talk about generational breakdown, demographic breakdown, who supports closing everything down.
	And the younger you are, the more susceptible you are to this because, again, it's the brainwashing of the schools.
	But I think it's interesting that you notice they use all these terminology.
	They have the silent generation, the Gen X, the baby boomers, all this stuff.
	But things like the silent generations, that's straight out of the fourth turning.
	Isn't it interesting? I continually find it interesting that everybody uses the terminology of the fourth turning.
	And they also know that we're in the midst of a fourth turning.
	War and economic unrest, but always economic unrest, usually war.
	And all this culminating in 2030.
	And yet nobody wants to talk about that.
	They'll all talk about the demographic breakdown of this stuff, but they don't want to talk about the overall context of the time that we're in and how we're in this generational cycle that is happening.
	They'll talk about the different generations, but they won't talk about the ultimate truth of where we are in this, which is the fourth turning.
	And it's because the people who are running the media, and I'm not saying that Daily Skeptic is necessarily turning away from this, but again, it's the people who run the media, the people who run the government, they don't really want you to know about this.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	��
	good to go. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Bethany N. on Rockfin, thank you very much for the tip.
	She says, thank you for another great show, David.
	Merry Christmas, and may God continue to bless you and your family.
	Thank you very much. God has really blessed us, and thank you to all the listeners who have been such a blessing to us.
	We're coming up to the third year anniversary, and it was...
	When I got fired, I really wasn't sure what I was going to do.
	As I said before, I really expected to be fired in early November when I started opposing all this sting stuff and, you know, stop the steal and all the rest of that stuff.
	But so, you know, I was expecting it then.
	Still didn't have any plans, frankly, but it came as a surprise a week before Christmas.
	And then we just had people start sending us money.
	We weren't even on PayPal at the time, and they sent emails to us.
	Fortunately, and it was a real blessing from God that I had been using for quite a while an email publicly for people to contact us that was outside of the email that I had inside Infowars there.
	So people were able to send email to us.
	And they just, you know, sent money via PayPal.
	And I didn't know what to do to pick this up.
	But we looked at it. It's like, okay, yeah.
	And then people started doing that.
	So that's when we decided to do the show.
	And so the first show, I was fired.
	I say we because Travis was as well.
	And Whistler was doing work for them as well.
	So all three of us got the axe.
	And weren't really sure what we were going to do except move back here was what we wanted to do.
	And so, again, people started sending contributions, and we started the program then on that following Monday.
	And it's been a real blessing, and I thank all of you for doing that.
	It's a difficult way to fund this program.
	We don't really look for advertisers.
	We've got a couple.
	You know, Tony supports us.
	APS Radio, but for the most part, it has been people who have just voluntarily supported this, and so we really do appreciate that.
	And the number of people that download this on a regular basis, we would...
	Not be as rich as Tucker Carlson, but we'd be doing just fine.
	We knew what to do if we had a small fraction of people who download the show pay for it.
	But we have a few people who are very loyal and have really supported us heavily on Subscribestar, but also on Zelle and other places.
	And so we really do appreciate that.
	Thank you very much.
	MJ says, remember when Trump would stiff the people that worked for him in Vegas?
	Yeah.
	It was a foreshadowing of what he would do on his January the 6th supporters.
	First report that I did on Donald Trump when he became a candidate.
	I was not a fan of him from the very beginning.
	It's like I felt, like I said before, the way Julian Assange did.
	Julian Assange said, we know Hillary Clinton as a warmonger, a criminal.
	We don't know what Trump is.
	We'll find out. And we found out he's just like Hillary Clinton.
	But I did the report about how for one of his parking lots at one of his casinos in Atlantic City, There was a widow and he wanted to buy out her house and tear it down for his parking lot.
	She resisted. It was just like Pixar's Up.
	And so he got the government to condemn her property and shut it down.
	And before he could build his parking lot, Over the house that he had destroyed, he declared bankruptcy yet again.
	I think he had six bankruptcies with his casinos.
	And that tells us something about him as well.
	Not just the way he treated his employees in Vegas, but also the number of bankruptcies he had there.
	As I said before, what does that say about somebody's competency if you can't make money with a casino?
	It's almost as good as being able to print money at the Federal Reserve.
	Of course, they're losing money too, they say.
	Rumble, stealth patriot.
	I went to see two cousins the other day.
	Both of them had to have a leg amputated, one shortly after the other.
	I'm sorry to hear that. My second cousin has been bedridden for two years after getting Guillain-Barre syndrome.
	Yeah, vaccine. Got it one week after the jab.
	Was paralyzed from the neck down, but now she's beginning to be able to use her hands and arms to feed herself.
	I'm so sorry to hear that. You know when we look at the 60 Minutes report from years ago about the first swine flu?
	And if you haven't seen that, and I've played that a couple of times, but if you go back and look at it, that was when they had real reporting from Chris Wallace's father, Mike Wallace.
	And first of all, he exposed the whole fraud of that scare.
	And he said, well, we're supposed to believe that it was some soldier who collapsed, and there was a woman who suffered from Guillain-Barre syndrome that he was interviewing, and she said, well, I looked at this, and this was highly publicized by the media.
	Here's this young, fit soldier.
	He just collapses and nearly dies.
	And as they looked at it, they said, well, you know, this is a guy who was already, you know, in the Navy at sickbay.
	I don't know what they call it in the Army. But he and two other soldiers were sick with the flu, and they were there recuperating.
	And his commanding officer said, nope, you're going to do the march anyway, and got him out there.
	And he got out there, and he collapsed because he had the flu.
	He just had the flu. And the...
	He was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by the drill sergeant that was there.
	And he didn't get sick.
	He didn't get sick.
	The drill sergeant did.
	But anyway, they used selective parts of that story to scare people to death.
	And so this woman said, so yeah, I got it.
	And she had Guillain-Barre syndrome, and it had been a long, long struggle for her to try to be able to move in a very, very limited way.
	It's very, very crippling. That is something that's been around for these vaccines always.
	And I've known people who got the flu shot and got Guillain-Barre syndrome.
	But this is so much worse.
	So many different things as well.
	And of course, Guillain-Barre syndrome is just one of many, many things now.
	And it is quite prevalent with this Trump shot as well.
	The Supreme Court is going to decide whether or not to restrict abortion by pill.
	That case is going to be coming before them.
	The drug Mephistopheles, if that's the way you pronounce it, I just call it Mephistopheles because it's from the devil.
	One of the most common abortion methods in the United States are going to rule on that.
	So the Republicans are waiting in bated breath.
	They are scared to death. No, not another abortion decision from the Supreme Court.
	And you've got the left-wing rags out there.
	They're very excited about that. Oh, this is going to be another opportunity for us to gin things up.
	So you've got all of these people in the Republican Party trying to figure out how they're going to spin this.
	Because as I said yesterday, you know, oh, the albatross.
	The albatross around the neck.
	And yet there's a Democrat who is using this as an opportunity to show people the babies that she discovered that were violently murdered.
	And she found their bodies, and she's got pictures of it, and she's running as a federal candidate for president so that she can put those ads out and not have them be censored.
	Do you know, Travis, did we get censored anywhere for putting that picture out, that thumbnail?
	Yeah. I said, let's use that thumbnail that she's putting out there.
	I mean, if she's going to put it on the line for that, let's do it as well.
	And Travis says, I don't know.
	I think that is so brutal.
	And I said that the people need to see what the truth is.
	And so I said, this is the hill to die on.
	It really is. And so, but apparently nothing has happened yet.
	Kellyanne Conway is pushing Republicans to embrace contraception.
	That's going to be the way that they're going to try to spin this, perhaps.
	Because they don't want to show you the truth about what this is.
	They don't want to show you the truth that abortion is violent murder of a human being.
	So let's talk about, let's spin this.
	Let's redirect people over here to contraception.
	Ann Coulter. Has gone completely to the other side here on this issue.
	Siding with the abortion industry's desire to kill unborn disabled babies, says the LifeSite News headline.
	And it's after years of making money as a pro-lifer and calling for an end of Roe v.
	Wade. After Roe v.
	Wade ends, Ann Coulter has shown herself to be like some of these other people.
	You know, like Blake Masters.
	How he immediately started scrubbing his website.
	Oh, he's just, you know, he's blustering about what a great supporter he is of life and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's like these videos that you'll see where you've got dogs that are barking at each other on either side.
	Oh, they're vicious. They're just going to tear that other dog apart.
	Both of them on either side of the fence.
	And you gradually start removing the fence and they move along to keep that fence between them.
	And when the fence is completely removed, they're like, okay, well, never mind.
	That's the way Ann Coulter and the GOP are when it comes to this issue and many others.
	And so maybe we should call her Albatross Ann.
	She thinks that defending people, educating people about this violent murder, she thinks that that's an albatross.
	You know what? Maybe the people who support the violent murder of babies for their power and money, maybe they're the albatross.
	Do you ever think about that? Maybe they're the reason we can't have nice things like liberty.
	Because they have sold out.
	They don't care if babies are ripped to pieces.
	They just want their little pathetic prize.
	Oh, look, I won the election.
	Oh, good for you.
	What are we, back in high school again?
	King and queen of the prom, you won the election.
	Great. What did you do to get it?
	You killed somebody? No.
	Last month I highlighted her relentless campaign, says the writer for LifeSite, to blame the pro-life movement for GOP election losses, insisting that abortion was a losing issue, and that her new compromise position, as she put it, was to stop losing elections, and to make abortion illegal only for registered Republicans, quote-unquote.
	That's what she said. The GOP, she said, should instead stick to a 15-week federal ban, if even that much.
	The rock-ribbed pro-lifer, it seems, is only willing to advocate a legal regime significantly more liberal than most countries in Europe.
	Liberal countries that she has mocked relentlessly for decades.
	That's a good point. When you look at what is going on in other countries, like in France, I think it's 12 weeks.
	And so you've got these so-called pro-life people, so-called pro-life Christians like Mike Pence.
	15 weeks! That's worse than France.
	She thinks the GOP must win elections in order for pro-life laws to be possible.
	Yet, she also thinks that they shouldn't pass those pro-life laws because then they could lose the elections.
	So there you go. That sums it up completely, doesn't it?
	Yeah, we need people who are going to lead, not people who are going to grift.
	She says the pro-life movement, said Ann Coulter, has gone from compassion for the child to cruelty to the mother and child.
	And she said that in the wake of this situation with a trisomy 18.
	And again, this is a terrible tragedy.
	But as one mother who had a child who was born with that disease said, at least I know that I didn't rip that child apart.
	And I did everything I could for them.
	So, LifeSite News, let's be clear here.
	Coulter is saying it's cruel to protect children in the womb if they've been diagnosed with trisomy 18.
	And it's not cruel to decapitate, dismember, and disembowel those children in an abortion clinic.
	She even insinuates that allowing that child to live rather than be killed is also somehow cruel and repeats the eugenic talking point that such children are not compatible with life.
	It is also somehow cruel to the mother.
	Nobody who believes abortion kills a child can also believe the things that Coulter just said.
	After an entire career of debunking insidious liberal talking points, Coulter has decided to take their side when it comes to aborting disabled children.
	And it's not just Ann Coulter, either, who has flip-flopped on this issue.
	And the Iowa, it's the precious COVID-19 and many other things.
	I don't know why that came up. I think that got hit by accident.
	Let's... I wanted to pull up what DeSantis said as he was talking to supporters in Iowa.
	Here is what he said about Trump's position on pro-life.
	I think, though, one thing in this race that I think is important to point out is Donald Trump flip-flopping on the right to life.
	So if you look in January of 2020 when he was president, he stood in the March for Life and he gave a speech.
	And if you read that speech, he said that all life is a gift from God.
	He compared the unborn child in the mother's womb to being the image of God.
	He said it was important that we had protections in law.
	And that's what he was saying in January of 2020.
	Now, he has attacked states that have enacted protections like heartbeat bills as being a terrible, terrible thing.
	So how do you square that March for Life speech with now trashing states that have advanced protections that he claimed to cover?
	Was he not being honest in January of 2020?
	Or has he just flipped his position to now what he's saying in 2023?
	I think that's a huge problem because we know people come at this from different angles.
	It's a big, diverse country.
	There's a lot of division about it.
	But you should be consistent in your beliefs, especially on something that's very fundamental.
	And he has not been consistent.
	And I think there's a lot of voters in Iowa who really care about this, who need to know how he's changed his position.
	Yeah, that's very true.
	As a matter of fact, LifeSite says, well, it's not just Ann Coulter.
	Take a look at all these people in the GOP. They said a lot of people...
	He said, the only people who are more afraid of the overturn of Roe v.
	Wade prior to it happening, the only people more afraid of that than the Democrats are the Republicans.
	They're very afraid of that.
	And so he said, take a look at how this is unmasking these GOP hypocrites and liars.
	People like Ann Coulter.
	People like Trump. People like Sean Hannity, for example.
	Once Roe was gone, One of their most reliable vote-getters would be gone.
	Plus a lot of fundraising to boot.
	And I say that is why you see so many Republicans saying, well, we've got to bring it back to the federal government again.
	Let's have a national law.
	We'll make it 15 weeks, which is worse than secular France.
	And that's the way they're responding to this.
	And you've got a lot of national organizations that call themselves pro-life that want to do that as well because they want to make this a federal issue and they want to keep it there.
	And as I've said before, if you make that a federal issue and you say 15 weeks, Democrat states say, well, they're going to nullify that because they can't.
	This isn't something that even the federal government should be involved in at all.
	So constitutionally, they can nullify it, just like they nullified prohibition of marijuana.
	And so the liberal states will nullify that.
	They'll abort kids at any age.
	And the conservatives, once the Democrats get power again, and they raise that from 15 weeks to whatever they want to raise it to, The Republican states will obey that, just like the Republican states obeyed Roe v.
	Wade when it was clearly a violation of the Tenth Amendment.
	And I said that all my life.
	And then you had the Dobbs case where the Supreme Court said, yeah, that's right.
	I said, yeah, that is right.
	A Supreme Court decision is not the law of the land.
	They change their mind about these things all the time, and the Supreme Court changed its mind and decided that they would follow the Tenth Amendment.
	That freaked everybody out. Trump was one of the first to pivot away from that, as DeSantis pointed out.
	But this person says, And I agree with this person 100% about Carrie Lake.
	She is a cynical opportunist, a shameless liar who has attacked pro-life candidates without the slightest regard for the truth.
	This is a person who has hypocritically, just like Trump, been hypocritical on all of these issues.
	And just like Sean Hannity...
	Who pats soldiers on the back every time he sees somebody in uniform.
	Oh, thank you for your service, and yet he wants to send them to war.
	Somebody who has said that he is pro-life, and yet he wants to win elections.
	He doesn't want to save lives.
	Yeah, he wants that little trophy that he gets.
