	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 2nd of January.
	You're of our Lord 2024. 24.
	Well, today we're going to begin with a look at the past.
	Because if we don't understand the past, they will control our future.
	And we're also going to take a look at how they want to control our future.
	What do they have in store for us?
	Folks, the new year doesn't mean a great deal.
	We're in the middle of a fourth turning.
	You better understand that timing.
	That timing that is there.
	So we're going to take a look at that.
	The Civil War that has already begun.
	It is still a cold Civil War.
	We're going to take a look at that.
	Stay with us. We'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	Well, as I said when I sat in the chair today, I'm back in the saddle again.
	And thank you so much to Gard, who filled in four days by himself and then did the fifth day with Tony Arderman.
	So thank you, Tony, as well.
	But it is great to have somebody that does such an excellent job.
	I've got an excellent guest host with Gard and Tony, and it's great to have that so that I can take a break.
	This is the first time I've really taken a break.
	Since the show started five years ago.
	And actually going up to six years this year.
	Anyway, the other times where I was driving cross-country trying to move or driving cross-country going to weddings in Texas and things like that.
	So it's the first time we've been able to just sit and to relax.
	I really do appreciate that rest, and it's been a long one.
	But again, I was not worried about the show being in good hands.
	Guard is on top of everything.
	And I want to thank all of you who have sent cards and letters and emails.
	Thank you for all the kind wishes and for the support.
	I really do appreciate that.
	You know, New Year's Eve was an interesting date.
	It was 12-31-23.
	And if you look at it, it was 1-2-3-1-2-3.
	And so we had a lot of people.
	They were talking about this massive number of people wanting to get married in Vegas.
	Maybe they could get Elvis to marry them on 1-2-3-1-2-3.
	But as we were looking at this, my son said, Oh, Walt's in the New Year.
	And that's really what they do in Vienna.
	This is the real 1-2-3.
	1-2-3.
	Yeah. They still do that.
	Isn't it nice that there's still some traditions, some remnants of Western civilization in places like Vienna?
	When you look at that, compared to the garbage that is on TV for New Year's Eve, classic, totally classic.
	Beautiful gowns and, of course, They have New Year's Eve concerts as well as big ballroom dances in Vienna.
	One of the aspirations, one of the few traveling aspirations that I never got to fulfill.
	I wanted to get Karen to Vienna on New Year's Eve, but that's not going to happen now.
	I'd much rather not go anywhere with the TSA. Now my desire is to get rid of the TSA. And then we can have nice things and go nice places, but until that happens, it isn't going to happen.
	But there was a far less traditional Christmas here in America.
	So many people complaining about what they saw from New York City.
	Did they not get the memo?
	Ten years about what garbage this New Year's Eve celebration is in New York City.
	I mean, I've always looked at this and it's like, look at the people packed like sardines in there.
	Of course, we looked at a couple of the fireworks displays in various cities around the world.
	Did not go to New York City.
	Didn't want to see that. But I always have seen the crowds that are there.
	And you see the crowds in Paris.
	Oh, it was amazing.
	They had... The Arch de Triomphe down at the end and they were projecting stuff on that and then they had like electric trees on a boulevard but then in the center of it they had people who were packed Like sardines.
	I mean, they would not be able to move if anything happened.
	And they were all holding up their phone, which made for a kind of interesting drone shot.
	You know, they illuminated the street, which just packed solid with people.
	But what a nightmare to be in something like that.
	And so, I never enjoyed watching New York City.
	We typically look at the fireworks, the drone, now drone displays in various places.
	But in New York City this year, they had something new with a ball drop.
	They had the ball drop, and then they cut to two men kissing.
	And so a lot of people, and that came right after Paul Inca was singing, Imagine There's No Heaven.
	And then we see the two guys kissing.
	How's that for a ball drop?
	It's Eric Adams.
	I remember during the pandemic, he got sworn in.
	And that was the last time we looked at it.
	I was curious to see what was going to happen.
	With all the fear and paranoia about the COVID pandemic MacGuffin, you know, the so-called pandemic, how were they going to handle that?
	And so what they did, they didn't have much of a celebration that year.
	They focused, instead of even so much as a ball drop, they focused on him being sworn in as mayor.
	And his family was there.
	And there were one or two people who didn't have the mask.
	It's like, how does that happen with all of this craziness that is going on in New York at the time?
	All the paranoia, the obsessive, compulsive behavior.
	And so we have a new year, and we've got a new calendar, according to the Babylon Bee.
	A new calendar of real conservative men.
	And, of course, they're parroting this calendar of real conservative women who, you know, Riley Gaines and the Bikini and other conservative women, and they're Daisy Dukes because, you know, that's what conservative women do.
	So Babylon Bee thought it was funny, too, the real conservative women.
	And so they said, we've got a new real conservative men calendar.
	It's not two dudes kissing in Times Square, but it features 12 pictures of fully clothed Thomas Massey posing with the Constitution.
	Show a picture of that, Travis.
	And so, I said, this is what conservative voters really want to look at.
	That other calendar, the conservative calendar, may have caused a lot of division and arguments, but Thomas Massey posing with the Constitution is something that none of us can take our eyes off of.
	You know, folks, Thomas Massey doesn't just pose with the Constitution.
	He actually votes for it and supports it.
	The rest of the GOP is posing with the Constitution on a regular basis.
	Here's what Thomas Massey had to say recently.
	Look at what they did in Afghanistan. 30 or 40 percent of police in Afghanistan, their security forces, didn't exist.
	We were paying salaries for people who were on the payroll, but they weren't real people.
	Maybe we're buying them ghost guns.
	How do we know that those are real people?
	We saw with the PPP program in the United States, people were getting money to pay people that weren't even on their payroll.
	There are lots of obvious places to look for waste, fraud, and abuse.
	I wouldn't be funding it to start with.
	But if we are going to fund it, we need to have somebody auditing this.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And while we're at it, let's audit the Fed.
	Audit the Pentagon. Audit the Fed.
	You know, they do audit the Pentagon, and it's failed all of its audits.
	It's failed all six of its audits, not anywhere close.
	So, you know, you could have audit the Fed, and they could fail it, and we just continue on doing business as usual like we do with the Pentagon, right?
	But yeah, if these police officers don't even exist in Afghanistan, and we don't know if these people were giving the rifles to exist, or if they're just being channeled out by the corrupt Zelensky administration to some other country, are they giving them ghost guns?
	Ghost planes?
	Forget attractive, right-leaning women posing provocatively.
	Thomas Massey and the Constitution are what get American patriots drooling.
	Yeah, well, that would be they got that right.
	And while we're talking about provocative posers, maybe they should do a presidential calendar.
	And they can put all the people who have had...
	Welcome to my show!
	And so Bill Clinton has another name.
	He's also known as John Doe 36.
	And so he's mentioned more than 50 times in redacted documents, according to ABC News, redacted documents about Jeffrey Epstein.
	Not much of a surprise there.
	The names of more than 170 people, who so far have only been known as John and Jane Doe, there's a lot of women on this list as well, are expected to be revealed in the documents after a Manhattan federal judge ruled just before Christmas that they could be unsealed in the new year.
	And so that means today they will be unsealing that, and we'll get some more information about that.
	It's interesting, isn't it, that the conservatives, oh, that Bill Clinton, look at him and Epstein, what a bunch of, and yet, and Hillary, and yet, there's pictures of Trump with Epstein, there's pictures of Trump with Bill, there's pictures of Trump with Hillary.
	What is this compartmentalization?
	You've got to get the blinders off, folks.
	You've got to understand that not only is this a club that you ain't in, but you need to understand who's in this club.
	And it's the guy that many conservatives think is going to be the savior of America.
	He's part of that club.
	He absolutely is part of that club, Dave Chappelle said.
	So here's Trump. He comes out of this elitist thing, you know, the Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons and all the rest of these people, and he comes out and he says, you won't believe what's going on in there.
	He tells us about some of it.
	And then he goes back inside.
	That's where he's been all along.
	Goes to Davos.
	You know, a trip to Davos gets you tagged by the MAGA people instantly.
	You're a governor and you go to Davos, you're tagged.
	And you should be. You should be.
	You know, Brian Kemp and these other people, oh, yeah, Davos people, oh, they went to Davos.
	And Youngkin, Glenn Youngkin, and, you know, Virginia, and Brian Kemp of Georgia.
	Oh, yeah, those guys, they're Davos people.
	But Trump goes, it's just fine.
	Oh, he was going to tell them off.
	He said the same thing about when he went, that these governors said, well, I'm just going to try to get jobs into my state.
	And Trump said, I'm just going to get jobs into the United States.
	And yet they give him a pass with all this stuff.
	And then, over the holidays, I tried to stay away from the news as much as possible.
	I did catch this.
	I saw Tucker Carlson hunkered down with the King of Davos.
	Truly amazing.
	The guy who has gone to pretty much every Davos there was until he fell out of favor publicly.
	And that's Kevin Spacey.
	And of course, Kevin Spacey had a TV show that I didn't watch.
	I've got it here somewhere, the name of it.
	Oh, House of Cards. I remember when this thing came out, and everybody, oh, you should watch this.
	It's all about politics. You love politics.
	It's like, no, actually, I hate politics, and I hate politicians, and I hate the people who suck up to the politicians, like Tucker Carlson.
	And I hate the people who suck up to the people who play politicians and who are clearly Davos globalists.
	He's one of the biggest pedophiles and perverts out there.
	Why does he suck up to this guy?
	Why does he give him a platform?
	And so he's got Kevin Spacey on.
	Kevin Spacey played president on House of Cards.
	I'm sure all of you are more familiar with that than I am.
	But he was a very tough character, corrupt character, I should say.
	And so on Christmas Eve, Tucker Carlson, to have a traditional Christ-like Christmas, he decides that he will have on this raving sexual pervert and globalist, Kevin Spacey, and give him a platform.
	Because Tucker Carlson is, as Alex Jones' lawyer said about Alex Jones, he's an entertainer.
	They're entertainers.
	Who writes the script for these entertainers?
	The CIA does.
	Both of them.
	Trust fund kids from CIA families.
	CIA wannabes.
	Who are feeding you Operation Mockingbird.
	Except now, it's Operation MAGA Bird.
	So, a video interview on Christmas Eve.
	Carefully scripted and edited performance, as Brian Shalhavi of vaccine impact or health impact news said, his headline, Are we going to have another Epstein associate running for the office of the President of the United States?
	Yeah, if Kevin Spacey ran, he would be the third one.
	Who are the other two?
	Trump? RFK Jr.?
	Truly was amazing to me to see for a while People said, oh, RFK Jr., he's authentic and all the rest of this stuff, and he's going to push back against these people.
	I said, well, yeah, he's saying some really good stuff lately, but I said there's a real problem that bothers me, and that is it was just a few years ago that RFK Jr., who still seems to be thoroughly convinced of the climate, MacGuffin, We're saying that people who disagreed with that lie needed to be locked up.
	Nobody asked him about that for a very long time.
	Finally, they did ask him, and his response was, well, I wasn't talking about the Koch brothers.
	Yes, you were. I was talking about their companies, and I think companies that are fraudulent need to be given the death penalty.
	Well, I could agree with that, but I don't think what's fraudulent about the Koch brothers was their opposition to the climate lies that are out there.
	And he was talking about individuals.
	You're not going to...
	He was saying they need to be given three hots and a cot.
	You don't do that to a corporation.
	You can't lock up a corporation.
	You can't feed a corporation.
	You can't put a corporation in a prison bed.
	He was talking about the Koch brothers themselves.
	So a disingenuous explanation, but nobody ever asked him about it again.
	He won't come on my program.
	I've asked him to. But I had somebody, you know, because I criticized the candidates.
	I criticized Ramaswamy.
	Some guy said, you're a coward.
	Ask Ramaswamy to come.
	I did. He won't come on either.
	So, you know, that's fine.
	Ramaswamy, if you want to come on, you're welcome to come on.
	So all you fanboys of Ramaswamy, tell him to come on the show.
	I'll be happy to interview him.
	And it will be a confrontational interview.
	I'll say that because I'm not sold on Ramaswamy either.
	A colleague of DeWine, and we all saw what Governor DeWine, the Republican, did just recently with the veto of the transgender bill to protect children from mutilating drugs and surgeries and things like that.
	He vetoed that. But of course, DeWine was the guy who really showed us how Trump would have pushed the vaccine.
	He offered people money.
	You know, just take your chances.
	You know, that's really what it was.
	It was really a lottery, and people didn't realize at the time, none of us knew, just how skewed the different lots of the vaccines were.
	They varied by a factor of 33.
	So you could get a dose with one of them that was 33 times more than the least dose in some of these vaccines.
	That's your lottery. That's where the people died, with the overdose stuff as well.
	And so, yeah, it was a true lottery, but you could win a million dollars.
	And it's that type of bribery that Trump was doing with all the governors.
	He gave them not a million dollars.
	It was a surefire deal.
	You push the vaccine.
	You inject this into your people.
	I'm going to give you tens of billions of dollars.
	He bailed out California, but, you know, Newsom's already got it on the ropes again financially.
	But again, as Brian Shulhavi says, another Epstein associate running for the office of the President of the United States.
	Kevin Spacey said that he would be willing to jump into the presidential race at the last minute as an independent and that he would want Tucker to be his vice president.
	Of course, he's saying this as part of his scripted performance, and he's playing that character that was on House of Cards.
	But Brian Shalvey says if indeed Spacey jumped into the presidential race, he would become at least, maybe we'll find out there's some other presidential candidates today, Who were friends with Epstein.
	He'd become at least the third former associate of Epstein running for president that voters can choose from.
	Isn't it great that we've got a choice?
	Don't you love democracy? I'll just say this about all the ballot stuff that's going on.
	You know, when you look at these places pulling Trump off the ballot, and I don't agree with that, but...
	I've said, from the very beginning, I said, you want to know where election corruption is?
	I said, it's pervasive throughout the system.
	From the very beginning, I said, it begins with ballot access.
	And where are we right now? Everybody's saying, this is the end of democracy if they're going to control who's on the ballot.
	Newsflash, the Republicans and Democrats have been doing this for decades.
	Almost all of my life they've been doing this.
	Going back to the 1980s, they pretty much shut down everybody.
	Third parties and independents.
	Ross Perot, with all of his billions of dollars, was able to get around that and run.
	And then they tightened the rules down again after Ross Perot got through.
	These people, both the Republicans and the Democrats, have carefully controlled the ballot.
	So why are people surprised when the Democrats now do it against the Republicans?
	Because both of them have colluded in the past.
	They never talked about it.
	And of course, today...
	As people look at this, well, that's horrible.
	We can't have a democracy if Trump can't get on the ballot.
	Well, you don't have a democracy.
	It is a mockery.
	It's a mockery.
	And so a lot of people can't get on the ballot.
	But we only care about Trump.
	Just like we only care about Trump when it comes to January 6th.
	We don't care about all the people rotting in jail for decades.
	We only care about the guy who lured them in.
	Who had absolutely no consequences.
	Both he and Alex. No consequences for either one of them.
	The people who lured people in.
	Ray Epps. Whatever Ray Epps said to one or two people was not what caused January the 6th.
	It was the two big mouths of Donald Trump and Alex Jones to stop the steal and save America.
	That's what got people to go.
	Not Ray Epps.
	Anyway. And it was always set up to be that way.
	I said that from the very beginning as well.
	They're ripping you off.
	They're stealing your money. They're going to set you up with agent provocateurs.
	And we just had some guy who's an infant son.
	He's a January the 6th defendant.
	And his infant son has now been put on a no-fly list.
	What they call safe skies or something like that.
	His infant son.
	I guess they figure that if this guy, you know, when he grows up and he realizes what the American government did to his father, he might want to do something about it.
	So I guess they put him on a watch list, right?
	I guess sexual perversion is now a requirement, says Brian Javi, to run for office of the president of the U.S.? Was this propaganda peace to measure the current moral pulse of the nation?
	Well, you know, it's been really, on the inside, it has been a requirement.
	I've talked about this many times.
	Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Speaker of the House for the GOP, was a pedophile wrestling coach.
	They put into Congress and put him in and kept him as Speaker of the House for the longest period of time.
	They never had a problem with that.
	So, in this interview, Spacey says, you know, Tucker, I think it's good, just good enough to sip some eggnog and decorate the tree and listen to White Christmas and embrace all the things that make this such a special day.
	Yeah, no Jesus there, but other than that, you know, that sounds like the way we celebrate Christmas.
	But then he turns to the camera to say what he's really thinking, just as his character on House of Cards evidently would do.
	And he says, the truth is, I love nothing better on this day than to do a line of blow, drink a whiskey and Coke, hit a reindeer with my car, and wish you the naughtiest Christmas ever.
	So, this is what Tucker is selling you.
	You know, Tucker, who's already sold you Andrew Tate, now he sells you the King of Davos, Kevin Spacey.
	Would the American public actually embrace such a man so evil to become President of the United States?
	Asked Brian. He said, well, after all, they loved his character in House of Cards.
	That's why I never watched it.
	You know, people described what it was like, and it's like, I don't want to watch that.
	That's too much like real life.
	And I hate those people.
	I hate that stuff. I despise corrupt politicians, and so does God.
	You know, one of the things that is very consistent throughout the Bible is God's scorn for corrupt judges.
	Who really were the, you know, they were the government at the time.
	He really does hate that kind of corruption.
	We should hate that as well.
	All right, so was this carefully scripted seven-minute production regarding Spacey potentially entering the presidential race?
	Was it real or just a promo for an upcoming new series?
	There you go. Let's promote this globalist perv.
	Like he promoted Andrew Tate.
	And, you know, don't talk about anything real, even when he starts to talk about Building 7.
	Well, I don't know. I was told I couldn't talk about it.
	It's all these years I didn't talk about.
	Isn't this something that you can't talk about Building 7?
	And that's all he talks about, is how he can't talk about Building 7.
	So he says, finally, Brian says, you know, somebody like Kevin Spacey could be installed as President of the United States.
	Well, that's not beyond the pale, is it?
	I mean, where he had the Obama administration when they did their Ukrainian coup, right?
	We wound up in Ukraine.
	They wound up with Zelensky, a pervert comedian, as president.
	He went straight from being a comedian to being president.
	You know, I had Ronald Reagan, who, you know, as governor, he seemed to be kind of independent, but, you know, he was an actor who was basically doing what Bill Casey told him to do.
	That's how they got, you know, part of how he got elected.
	All the Iran-Contra stuff.
	That began Bill Casey, the guy who was, I don't know if he started the OSS or was head of it.
	That became the CIA. Bill Casey went to Iran and said, don't release the hostages until after the election and we'll do a deal with you in terms of spare parts for these planes that we gave the Shah that you now have.
	And then they used that for their secret wars in the Contras and Central America.
	So that was Reagan, the actor.
	Then you had Carter. Whose presidency was really run by Zbigniew Brzezinski, trilateral commission guy.
	Before him, Nixon.
	And it's really Kissinger who's running his administration.
	So, and then take a look at Trump.
	Who is running Trump's administration?
	Fauci. So you got Kissinger running Nixon.
	You got Zbigniew Brzezinski running Carter.
	You got Fauci running Trump.
	And of course, the first three years of Trump, It was the Goldman Sachs military-industrial complex as well running it.
	Yeah, so why not have Kevin Spacey?
	He seems to fit just perfectly with these people.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.

	Common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, I had a listener, Mike, who sent this to me.
	It was an op-ed piece that was on his local paper.
	And a woman saying, you know, it's a wonderful life.
	If Mary had only had a career, everything would have worked out just fine for her and George Bailey.
	And it's a wonderful life.
	He says, the woman who wrote this misguided opinion piece missed part of the message of It's a Wonderful Life.
	She thinks giving Mary a career would have solved all of their troubles.
	Ignores the additional troubles it probably would have created with their latchkey kids as Mary goes off to work.
	And that's true. You know, when we look at traditional things, they don't always have everything right.
	No point in time did everybody get everything right.
	We're going to take the good and leave the bad, but maybe we want to look at it and say, why was it done this way?
	You know, what are the pros and cons of doing these, you know, the society that we've created today?
	This has been, we've been prodded into this by Virginia Slim's commercials and Gloria Steinem, who's another CIA agent.
	So, you know, how did we get to a society that was designed by the CIA, essentially?
	And so, in this op-ed piece, this woman says, what if the Bailey family had had two incomes?
	Yeah, what if it had two incomes and no kids, too?
	That's even better, right? Just forget about Zuzu.
	Zuzu never existed.
	So, she said, stereotypical, awful portrayal of a librarian.
	That was her first complaint. That they had her trade as a dour librarian.
	She said, well, my husband was a librarian, or he's just retired now, but he was just fine.
	I'm married to one.
	No, what they were talking about was somebody who was alone.
	I think what she missed was that without meeting George, she never got married, and she had a career, but she had no family.
	No children. And that is kind of the future that they want for all of us.
	She was alone. You know, there is...
	Karen told me that when she was growing up, her mother would tell her, you know, somewhere there's a boy who's growing up that God has just set aside just for you.
	Now, I think there's a lot of truth to that.
	I think there are soulmates out there for us.
	But I think that whatever happens, a relationship with a person is better than a relationship with a career or a company or a business.
	And that's what's really missing.
	That's what people haven't stopped to think about when we look at all of this.
	She goes on to say, she said, consider how it's a wonderful life.
	Might have turned out differently if Mary were a librarian and married George.
	Okay, so they still get married.
	And she says, well, you know, now they've got a lot of money and he doesn't have to worry about his job.
	So, you know, she can support him.
	Well, you know, the whole point of this was to show George that his life was about more than his job.
	It was about more than his business as well.
	All the problems with his business were still there after he saw that it was relationships that he cherished.
	Isn't that interesting? You know, I look at that, there's a lot in that movie.
	Of course, there's a lot of really, you know, it begins, I can understand why it was a flop when it began.
	Because it starts with some really cringy special effects, even probably by the 1940s standards.
	And it starts with some really cringy theology, which people knew more about what the Bible taught back then.
	But it really is, I think, a better example of somebody examining their life than a Christmas carol, Dickens' Christmas carol.
	I remember I had friends who absolutely loathed Dickens' Christmas carol.
	Charles Dickens was a socialist, and this is pushing socialism.
	You know, I am my brother's keeper type of thing, and mankind is my business, and so forth.
	Well, I think that is really a Christian teaching, although that is also not really a Christian movie.
	And it has some bad theology in it.
	Yeah. I always think when I see that, there's a series where they do How It Should Have Ended, you know, and it's cartoons.
	Travis introduced that to me.
	And the one that I remember was Lord of the Rings, How It Should Have Ended.
	In the very beginning, they get the ring and they just whistle up the eagles and they fly them straight to Mount Doom and they drop it in.
	End of story. You don't have to go through all the adventures and all the rest of this stuff.
	Well, you know, that's the way that Charles Dickens' classic Christmas Carol, how it should have ended.
	You know, the ghosts of Christmas past and all the rest of the stuff would just cut to Jesus when he's talking in Luke 16 about the guy who, the rich man, not Ebenezer Scrooge's partner.
	But he's in hell.
	Just let me go back and warn my brothers.
	And Jesus says, well, you know, somebody won't listen to Moses and the prophets.
	They're not going to listen to somebody coming back from the dead.
	They'll just kind of, I guess, dismiss them as a bit of gravy and not the grave.
	So that's how that should have ended.
	But when we look at It's a Wonderful Life, again, she's saying, if Mary had a regular paycheck from the library, the Bailey's financial situation might be stable.
	With two incomes, they might not have had to start married life in that leaky old trap.
	Well, you know, that's just our materialism, isn't it?
	That was actually another thing.
	You know, they were not so materialistic about it.
	They could look at that old building and they could see the potential in it.
	And they could take pride in fixing that up.
	Rather than just taking a shortcut.
	You know, sometimes God puts us in leaky circumstances like that.
	And it's a growing experience.
	And then we look back on it, it's like I learned a lot from that.
	But it was really...
	So when I look at it, and when I did It's a Wonderful Lie, I even said, how much does Mr.
	Potter's America look like our America today?
	You know, you've even got Bert the Cop taking potshots at somebody who's running away from him, by the way.
	And which is what we see today, right?
	So, you know, we have this, what is shown is a transformed town where everybody is looking out for number one.
	And they don't care about their fellow man at all.
	And that's one of the key things.
	And so he realizes what he would have lost with his family.
	He sees the materialistic surroundings that, at least in his life, he was able to mitigate that somewhat by doing things to help other people.
	And yet, when I look around, I see America today.
	I see it as Mr.
	Potter's America, where everybody's very materialistic, even this woman.
	And where they want to atomize each and every one of us.
	They want each and every one of us to be alone.
	And not even to consider looking for somebody else.
	And then, of course, I also see it as the Biff future from Back to the Future, where Biff, the prototype of what's patterned after Donald Trump, who has the casino and all the rest of the stuff, and the crass, materialistic country that is portrayed in Back to the Future.
	By the way, I just want to mention this and just real quickly.
	Chris Haney, thank you.
	I got your message.
	Chris had to have surgery just before Christmas and I'm hoping that it went well, but he didn't mention that.
	So again, he had asked for prayer.
	So please keep Chris in your prayers for healing.
	And I'm not sure.
	Again, it was close to Christmas.
	I'm not sure how that is going.
	But I think it went well.
	He got back to me.
	But again, pray for healing for him.
	Let's take a look at predictions of the future a little bit.
	This is coming from Daily Skeptic, their 2024 almanac of bad futurology.
	In other words, all these bad predictions of things that happen.
	And as we look at this, every, you know, in January, the reason we have the calendar of January is because of this.
	I think it was a Roman god, maybe it was a Greek god, Janus, who looked forward and backward, you know, two-faced, like our politicians.
	But he looked forward and backward, not left and right.
	And so we look at the, and that's what we do in January, we look back at the year that just happened.
	We look forward at what may be coming.
	And, you know, this year began with wars, rumors of wars.
	And then I wake up on New Year's Day and see that there was earthquakes and says, wow, this is sounding really biblical here.
	Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, 7 plus in Japan on the Richter scale, 4 plus in California.
	Of course, that's quite a bit smaller.
	That's a logarithmic scale.
	But still, when we look at all of that, I don't know the time.
	Nobody knows the time.
	I do know, and we're going to talk about this, what season we're in.
	You know, I don't know exactly what the weather is going to be, and of course, none of these people know what the weather is going to be.
	The weathermen, the meteorologists don't know.
	The climatologists certainly don't know.
	There's a lot of bad future predictions from the climatologists in this.
	So much so, they've actually got a footnote saying, you want to see more of these?
	We've got all these bad climate predictions in an article over here that you can see.
	But, you know, we don't know exactly when a storm front is going to hit, typically.
	And so, when we look at the season that we're in, we're in a very dangerous season that's coming up.
	And we'll look at that a little bit more. But first of all, some of the stupid, crazy stupid predictions and saying, here's Lord Kelvin.
	This guy was a pretty renowned scientist.
	It came up with a temperature scale that we still use for absolute zero.
	And he said heavier than air flying machines are impossible.
	He said that in 1895.
	It wasn't that long until he got to the Wright Brothers.
	Maybe he was saying it was impossible because he's looking at the established lift tables that were being used by Langley and all the academics.
	It would have been impossible if they hadn't had somebody who thought outside of academia, like the Wright brothers did.
	In 1899, the commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office said everything that's been invented has been invented.
	In 1910, Thomas Edison said, in 15 years, more electricity will be sold for electric vehicles than for light.
	Well, he saw the advent of the cars coming, but he didn't realize all the problems of electric cars.
	Something that he has in common with Joe Biden, although I think that Biden knows.
	But I think even Biden knows the problems with electric cars, but he's going to continue to push that anyway.
	No, I don't know if that's true today, that in 15 years more electricity will be sold for electric vehicles than for light, because I think they're putting everything on the grid so they can restrict and control it.
	And that especially includes electric vehicles.
	So who knows exactly what's going to happen with that?
	Of course, in 1938, Neville Chamberlain's famous prediction, Peace for Our Time.
	That was a bad prediction.
	You've heard this one before, probably.
	Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM back in 1943, said, I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.
	I'd never seen this one before.
	1955. Nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners will probably be a reality in 10 years' time, said Alex Lewitt.
	I guess is the way he pronounces his name.
	Yeah, everything, when I was growing up, everything was going to be nuclear-powered.
	And it was going to be too cheap to meet her.
	That's why these people with all of the environmentalists and the climate people, they are the true heirs of those idiots.
	New York and Washington, D.C. will be underwater by the year 2000.
	That was Daniel Patrick Moynihan in a memo to Richard Nixon in 1969.
	And again, in this article from the Daily Skeptic, They say, well, if you want a compendium of bad predictions made on the first Earth Day in 1970, we've got a special article all about just that.
	There's no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home, said Ken Olson, the founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977.
	And, of course...
	Digital Equipment Corporation, DEC, is gone now.
	My first job, not my first job, my second job was with a spinoff of that company.
	The chief engineer left a digital equipment company and began Data General.
	And Edson DeCastro, if I remember his name correctly.
	And so he created that thing.
	And actually, one guy did a book, Soul of the New Machine.
	Which was about the competition between Data General and Research Triangle Park where I was working and the main facility in Boston as to who was going to have the next computer, next generation computer.
	It was a big step for Data General and they got it wrong and went out of business.
	Frankly, the Boston people won.
	They got it wrong. They went out of business.
	But DEC also went out of business because what these two companies were doing, they were doing what was called the mini-computer.
	Going down from a mainframe to a smaller computer.
	And both of them were really set up.
	Deck had more end-user stuff, like being used for offices and some things like that.
	But both of them were really set up to supply computers for OEMs, for original equipment manufacturers.
	And so they would use these computers to power things like an MRI device or something like that.
	But anyway, and then Bill Gates.
	Bill Gates, is he really that smart, you think, or is he just evil?
	My money is on the evil part.
	I think, you know, every time I read through the passage where the devil takes Christ and tempts him and says, see all these kingdoms?
	They can all be yours if you bow down and worship me.
	And I think, you know, I guess Bill Gates took him up on the offer.
	You know, and some of these other people like Zuckerberg.
	Anyway, he said in 1981, $640,000 ought to be enough memory for anybody.
	Because that's what he had at the time.
	One more. Around 40 million people died in 1918 Spanish flu outbreak, said Neil Ferguson in 2020.
	There are six times more people on the planet now, so you could scale that up to around 200 million people, probably.
	Yeah, so...
	And who was it that said that he saved about 200 million people?
	Donald Trump. He's still quoting...
	Niall Ferguson, who was at the Imperial College of London.
	That garbage thing.
	And then Greta Thunberg said in 2018 that humanity would be wiped out if we didn't stop using fossil fuels as of last year.
	So we just broke her prediction.
	Somebody who is...
	Trying to protect himself and now become a prepper.
	I mentioned this before Christmas break.
	Zuckerberg spending $270 million.
	And so now this has been picked up by a lot of different outlets.
	And they're asking, does he know something that we don't know?
	He's spending $270 million to build this massive underground bunker.
	He's doing it in Hawaii.
	Well, again, you know, as we look at this, wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, all the rest of this stuff, and, you know, they will, great men will say, to the mountains, fall on us, to the hills, hide us, you know, hide out in a cave, hide out underground.
	Well, I don't know what he sees coming.
	Is he wrong? Does he know something we don't know?
	I don't know. I'm not interested in investing any money in a massive underground bunker.
	I'm putting all my treasure in the sky.
	I'm looking for that mansion in the sky.
	And I'm not talking about a Lagrange libration point either.
	I'm talking about the real thing here.
	Where your treasure is, that's where your heart is also.
	So he's burying his heart, essentially, in Hawaii.
	I left my heart in Hawaii.
	Did he ever think about the fact that those islands are not all that stable?
	He might go into his underground bunker And he might get buried in lava like, you know, people centuries from now might find him just like in Pompeii, you know, Zuckerberg and his slaves there in the underground bunker.
	Or maybe, you know, just as we saw with the earthquake in Japan, it sends out a big tsunami.
	And what happens if he's in his underground bunker and they get a big tsunami?
	It all collects in his underground bunker.
	I don't know. Hawaii would not be the place that I would want to pick if I wanted to weather out the storm of what was coming.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at new state laws.
	I know a guard said, you know, just made the analogy to what they always like to do during Christmas time.
	They... Welcome to my show!
	But we're going to take a look at that when we come back on Rumble.
	Stealth Patriot, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, welcome back, David. A friend of mine compared anti-Trumpers to those that called for Brabus to be released.
	Yeah, because, you know, Trump is the Messiah.
	So there you go. You got the idolatry part right, David.
	He is supposedly a big Second Amendment guy, too.
	Yeah, he can't understand that.
	It's even worse than I was saying.
	I didn't realize for the longest time that not only did Trump do the red flag thing and say, well, take the gun and do the due process later.
	Well, then it's not due process.
	The process is due before you enact the penalty.
	But then he did gun control by executive order with a bump stock, and then he did it a second time with a pistol brace that everybody got upset about.
	So upset that he pulled it back.
	Between the election and January the 6th, I didn't realize that for quite some time.
	But yeah, there's a lot of people who still haven't caught on to that.
	Truly, truly amazing.
	Well, I don't know. Maybe Barabbas would be a better president than Trump.
	We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles, the cars, and Huey Lewis and the News, You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio.

	Liberty. It's your move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Yeah, there's an article on Reason.
	New state laws for 2024 impact guns, pornography, taxes, and even fuzzy dice.
	Well, I guess it took them 70 years or so, but I guess they're going to outlaw fuzzy dice when I saw this.
	But, you know, it's low-hanging fruit they could go for, I guess.
	But actually, it's going the other way.
	That's a surprise. There had already been prohibitions for fuzzy dice.
	Now, they've liberated us from the fuzzy dice prohibitions.
	This was in Illinois, by the way.
	Another surprise.
	Now, the reason they did this was because they said that this is being used by police as an excuse to pull people over and start confrontations with them and that type of thing.
	So, we're going to get rid of that.
	And, you know, they say that the original purpose of having it there was, you know, whether you have air fresheners or hanging dice or anything like that, that it obstructs your view.
	And, of course, it does.
	Um, and my Miata, the rear view mirror obstructed my view, uh, because, you know, it's really low.
	Um, not, not a very big windshield and, uh, the mirror was pretty big.
	And so I'd get up to intersections.
	I'd look over to the right and sometimes it would completely block the car at a four way stop.
	So I took it off and threw it away.
	Um, and But I don't want anything in front.
	I don't need a rear-view mirror.
	I've got, you know, the side-view mirrors.
	I've got other mirrors that I put on that that actually, with those two mirrors, those additional mirrors, I always get it mixed up.
	Concave, convex. I think it's concave.
	Anyway, it gives me a broader view.
	And actually, I've got no blind spots at all when I didn't have a blind spot before with that.
	So, yeah, I got rid of my rearview mirror.
	And I guess I just got rid of my car.
	Christmas Eve, the engine blew.
	But I'm going to put it in the barn and see if I can't do something about the engine at some point in time.
	I'm not going to be doing anything about it right now.
	It's a shame because I spent a lot of money and time getting it just the way I like it.
	Changed the suspension and did some other things with it that customized it.
	But... Yeah, the head gasket blew, and before I got it towed, I looked in the oil, and it was just all watery.
	And I was like, that's not good.
	And that's what I was told when I took a look at it.
	But anyway, getting back to the windshield thing...
	The way I always felt about it was if you ever saw a gumball rally, the Italian guy who's going to be driving in a Ferrari, he says, the first thing you learn in driving in Italy, and he rips off the rear view mirror and throws it away.
	Those are words to live by.
	I always felt that way.
	But anyway, they said that it was an excuse for pulling people over.
	They didn't want to give them an excuse for pulling people over.
	On Rumble, George Boy 1142 says, just put a mask on your fuzzy dice.
	There you go. Then you'll be fine.
	Another new Illinois law that will prohibit people from participating in video conferences or scanning social media while they are behind the wheel.
	Isn't it interesting how focused they are on making sure you're not operating any electronic devices, and yet they're perfectly fine with Tesla and General Motors and pretty much all the car companies have for the last several years put more and more stuff on the center console in like a touchscreen configuration.
	I remember when I would rent cars and that stuff was on there, and it was such a distraction.
	I have to try to look over and you're kind of, you know, got a little bit of bumping going on.
	You're trying to get your finger to do this or that.
	And then when I saw, that was what Tesla was doing with everything.
	I thought, how in the world? You know, you've got to, even to change the air vents, you know, you've got to pinch and drag and all this other kind of stuff, these different controls and go through menus and all that kind of stuff.
	But that's fine, as long as it's something that's done by the car manufacturer.
	Just don't try this on your own with a phone or something.
	And even to the extent that GM and some of the other people are now serving you ads, if you're using certain services on your car computer, it'll come up and tell you that, hey, there's a restaurant that's coming up.
	That's not distracting at all, is it?
	I'm all in favor of...
	Traditional instrumentation, tactile feedback of buttons and knobs and things like that.
	I don't even have to take my eyes off the road for.
	A Minnesota law will take guns from people who are deemed to be an imminent threat.
	Again, another one of these red flag laws.
	Forget the due process.
	Let's just take their gun.
	Do you have to have a gun to kill people?
	Can you run over them with cars?
	Maybe you could inject them with a bioweapon or something like that.
	Colorado will be one of only a dozen states banning so-called ghost guns.
	I think I finally figured out why they call them ghost guns, because it's a figment of the government's imagination, both in terms of the threat and in terms of the idea that they're going to be able to regulate these things.
	They can do all the ghost gun prohibitions they want, but as they kind of admit with a name, yeah.
	They're not going to be able to do that very easily.
	The law prohibits firearms that are assembled at home or 3D printed without serial numbers.
	They won't be able to stop that, but if they find somebody that is, you know, doing something else, like, you know, driving around with fuzzy dice hanging down from there, then they can see if they've got serial numbers on their 3D printed gun and then really slam them.
	U.S. Supreme Court has declined to block an Illinois law from taking effect yesterday.
	That would ban high-powered semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines.
	But a federal judge recently blocked a California law that would have banned carrying concealed guns in many places.
	In North Carolina, a law that will require pornographic website operators to confirm viewers are at least 18 years old by using a commercially available database.
	Look, the way they're going to do this is by giving people IDs.
	It's just the reprehensible stuff that Nikki Haley said.
	I need to know your name if you're going to be on the internet.
	I've got to know your name. Well, no, you don't.
	We certainly have her number, don't we?
	We know what she's about.
	I think we ID'd her as where she's coming from.
	But there's so many different things.
	And, you know, I had some supporters, good supporters, who contacted me about marijuana, for example.
	Said, my disagreement, my only disagreement with the show, with you, involves legalization of mood-altering drugs such as marijuana.
	And I substitute teach in a middle school.
	A counselor told me that the legalization of marijuana in Washington State devastated the most at-risk youth.
	When marijuana was legalized, it removed the social stigma associated with its use.
	Well, here's the way I feel about it.
	And I talk about marijuana.
	I don't recommend it.
	And I think he understands that.
	I don't recommend alcohol use.
	I don't use alcohol or marijuana myself.
	And yet, I understand what a failure alcohol prohibition was.
	And I understand they had enough respect for the Constitution that they passed a constitutional amendment.
	I'm looking at it from a constitutional standpoint.
	And just as we go through these different laws here, what's going to keep them from just prohibiting cars?
	Do they have the authority to prohibit cars?
	No, they don't.
	And they're doing it iteratively, step by step, the prohibition of private cars.
	But they'll come to a point where they'll just say, okay, that's it.
	You know, we're close enough to 2030, we're just going to say no cars.
	For you. We will own all the transportation.
	We will control all the transportation.
	Once we go down the path, the government can just do whatever it wants without any regard to the Constitution.
	We're in a really dangerous area.
	And of course, you know, if I had not had the advantage of seeing the failure of alcohol prohibition, if I had lived back in the 1920s, you know, before they, well, before 1920s, because 1920s, it was roaring 20s, they were still getting their alcohol, weren't they?
	Didn't stop anything.
	And it really didn't put much of a social stigma on them.
	And I've got to say that, you know, I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and even though drugs were prohibited, there was no social stigma associated with it.
	As a matter of fact, the stigma was if you didn't do it.
	And so, you know, prohibition didn't create a stigma.
	The stigmas are going to be created by parents.
	It's going to be created by people who speak into the lives of children and give them advice about how they should live their life.
	And for me, fortunately, that happened with a variety of ways.
	My family did not do drugs or alcohol or anything like that, but also, as I've said before, seeing the movie, The Days of Wine and Roses really made an impression on me at a young age.
	And we had one relative, after I saw that movie, I didn't know about this person because they were very sick, always locked up in a sanitarium and never saw the guy, ever, before he died of alcoholism.
	But he married a cousin of my dad's.
	And when we saw that movie, he said, yeah, that's like so-and-so.
	And so that was another point of data.
	But as I look at this in retrospect, my concern is that we respect the Constitution and that we make a government respect the Constitution.
	That's the most important thing.
	The most dangerous thing to us is a government that has no constraints, and that's the government that we have now.
	They present the greatest danger to us.
	And so my argument about these drugs is twofold.
	Number one, we don't want to have the government...
	Escape the bonds of the Constitution.
	In the words of Patrick Henry, bind them down with the chains of the Constitution.
	Trust no one.
	Bind them down with the chains of the Constitution.
	You can't do that if you've got things like the war on drugs.
	They just decided after, you know, the 18th Amendment that they had to pass in order to prohibit alcohol, and then the 21st Amendment that they had to pass to make it legal again, They decide, you know, the constitutional stuff, that's just a big bother.
	We're not going to bother with that on the war on drugs.
	We'll just declare it ourselves.
	Nixon declared it in 1971.
	It's been ineffective. It has corrupted, massively corrupted.
	The police, the courts, it has destroyed many other aspects of our liberties, and it hasn't achieved the stated purpose.
	As a matter of fact, as we saw with alcohol prohibition, and as we will see if they ever prohibit guns, it creates more...
	dangerous and concentrated forms of whatever it is that they're trying to prevent in a black market.
	So that's number one.
	Number two, because I'm a Christian, I think that there are some things that government cannot do.
	I don't believe that government is God.
	I don't believe that government has the answer to every single thing.
	And I'm joined by that with a lot of former police officers and former district attorneys and judges.
	We're a part of law enforcement against prohibition.
	They look at it and they say, well, just from a practical standpoint, this isn't working.
	But I don't want the government teaching morality.
	They're not capable of it.
	You know, we've got people like Kevin Spacey, his character, are running the government.
	I don't get my morals from them.
	And so we need to understand the government's role And pushing illegal drugs.
	They're not trying to prohibit illegal drugs.
	They're pushing illegal drugs.
	They created crack cocaine.
	They grew the opium in Afghanistan, turned it into a bumper crop.
	So again, it's understanding that a lot of these drugs are coming from the government itself.
	And so I would do everything to tell people not to take drugs.
	And I would use as examples the people who did not listen to the advice and say, see that person in the gutter there?
	See these people on the street in a catatonic stair?
	We don't need to have public service announcements.
	They're all over the streets of Democrat cities now.
	But the thing that is going to stop drug abuse is not going to be government.
	It's not going to be SWAT teams.
	It's going to be going back to traditional families.
	It's going to be going back to God.
	Christ can save people from this addiction.
	Trump can't.
	Biden can't. The federal government can't.
	The SWAT teams can't.
	Christ can change lives.
	And that's what these people are really missing.
	They're looking for something with the drugs that they can't get.
	And they'll never get it with the drugs.
	And you've got other people who are looking for it in money or in sex or you name your addiction, right?
	Gambling or whatever. They're looking for something and they won't find it there.
	Or pornography as we were just talking about.
	And so again, when I look at that, that's what got me off on this.
	I was going to mention that.
	But, you know, when you look at all these different evils, The thing that really scares me looking in the future is that people believe that the government is going to fix all these things.
	Whatever's wrong with you, right?
	If it's pornography or gambling or drugs or sex or whatever, and yet they're the ones who are pushing perverted forms of sex to children.
	They're the ones who are creating the drugs in Central America and Afghanistan and other places and creating the black market for it.
	They're not going to save us from it.
	We save ourselves from them when Christ saves us.
	So, over the past few years, there's been a major push by many conservatives to restrict access to gender-affirming treatments for transgender minors.
	That's the way Reason puts it.
	That's not the way that I would put it.
	We're not...
	As a matter of fact, when they go through this...
	And they're talking about some new laws that are coming in.
	They said, Republican-led legislatures have imposed restrictions.
	Many Democrat-dominated states have responded with transgender protections.
	No. No.
	Reason's got that exactly backwards.
	The restrictions, as they would call it, are protections.
	They are protections.
	And the Democrats are enabling...
	This perversion, this insanity, this child mutilation.
	And we're talking about children, first of all.
	This is not, and they always like to ignore that aspect of it and make it about adults.
	A new law taking effect Monday in Hawaii requires new marriage certificates to be issued to people who request to change how their sex is listed.
	Hawaii is also replacing gender-specific terms in state law.
	Mother is being replaced with birthing parent.
	And father is being replaced with non-birthing parent.
	I guess maybe that's why Zuckerberg chose Hawaii, huh?
	But again, when you look at this, is that insanity?
	It is. It is.
	New bans on access for minors to puberty blockers, hormone therapy, surgery will take effect January 1st in Idaho, Louisiana, and West Virginia, but the West Virginia law has some exclusions.
	A teen can still access treatment with parental consent and a diagnosis of severe gender dysphoria from two doctors.
	Well, the problem I have with that is that we have a lot of parents who, before I went on break, I talked about the guy who was working for over a decade at Tavistock in the UK, and that was where they really were pioneers in a lot of this transgender stuff for kids.
	And he said, I see parents coming in all the time.
	He goes, it's like Munchausen by proxy, where people will say, my kid's sick with such and such a disease.
	And the kid's not sick. The parent just wants attention.
	And he said, these parents are coming in.
	He said, I call it Transhausen by proxy.
	They want attention. And so they're doing this to their kids.
	And he wrote a book to talk about how bad that all is and what is being done to children.
	And it is so bad that even in the UK, they're shutting down Tavistock.
	But here, Reason Magazine sees this as a liberty issue.
	This is not a liberty issue.
	Children do not have rights.
	Let me say that again. Children do not have rights.
	Parents have rights. Children are not adults.
	That's why they can't drive cars or own guns or drink alcohol or do all these other things that you have to be an adult to do.
	We say we're going to restrict these things, even voting.
	They're not adults.
	We have a government that wants to treat children like adults, and they want to treat adults like children.
	And they want to do this primarily because they want to get rid of the family.
	Children's rights is something that's been developed by the UN and the globalists to try to destroy the family.
	It's just that simple. I've played the reports that I did 15 years ago, multiple times.
	I'm not going to play one right now, but that's exactly what this is about.
	If the children have rights, that is the way that the school, the state, can take the children away from the parents, can break up the family.
	And can take control of these children because the children are not capable.
	They don't have the judgment to make these decisions themselves.
	So, yeah, that is what is fundamentally behind all of this.
	And they don't get it at reason.
	They don't get it at all.
	They're absolutely clueless about that.
	An Indiana law taking effect makes it easier for parents and others to challenge books in school libraries.
	Why is that reason? Because if it's in a school library reason, that means that the kids are going to be looking at these pornographic books.
	And we've seen that over and over again.
	Pornographic books, if somebody goes to a PTA meeting or a school board meeting and starts reading about it.
	You can't say that here.
	Oh, but you're going to put that in the library for children?
	That's what we're talking about here.
	Books for children.
	We're talking about mutilation for children.
	I don't even support it for adults.
	I think, you know, just as you see that former Navy SEAL talking about how as an adult, as a SEAL, they gaslit him on this stuff.
	How much easier is it for them to do it to kids?
	And, of course, he's speaking out against that now.
	And so Reason says, so, you know, Indiana is going to make it easy to ban books out of the school library.
	They don't say why people want to ban these books or which books they want to ban.
	By contrast, a new Illinois law would block state funding for public libraries that ban or restrict books of pornography.
	Yeah, reason doesn't put that there.
	But that's what we're talking about here.
	Very disingenuous for them to leave that out.
	And for them to not get the idea this is really coming after kids.
	But they know what they're doing.
	In California, a new law that goes into effect, gender-neutral toy aisles are now mandatory in California.
	So, evidently, this is something else in the free market and parents cannot understand, right?
	Look, if you want to have gender-neutral toy aisles, you could just go to Target.
	Instead, though, Gavin Newsom and the Democrats in California want to Target your kids everywhere.
	As always. So, retailers are now required to have gender-neutral toy aisles under a new state law.
	If you've got a physical location in the state and at least 500 employees spread out amongst all the different locations.
	California Assemblymember Evan Lowe said he was inspired to introduce this bill by an 8-year-old girl who asked...
	Why should a store tell me what is a girl's shirt or what a toy is?
	Well, I guess Evan Lowe never asked, why should California tell people what they can carry in their stores?
	The market is perfectly capable of doing that.
	For years, when my sons were little, We would go to Toys R Us and look around, and even when they were little, it got to the point where it was just all this marketing stuff.
	We couldn't find anything there.
	But one of the things, I remember one Christmas going, and I wanted to get them some toy guns, like I used to have.
	And I had a large variety of toy guns.
	I had guns that shot darts and shot, you know, all kinds of stuff or cap pistols on none of that stuff.
	They had no Western revolvers at all.
	They had nothing that goes back to the colonial period.
	Nothing at all.
	They had one thing at Toys R Us.
	And I think they shut down now, Travis, did they?
	Toys R Us out of business, I think.
	And rightfully so.
	The only thing they had that had a gun was a box package that had was so that you could pretend that you were a SWAT officer.
	Seriously. It had body armor and handcuffs and a billy club and tear gas, and it also had a pistol.
	It's like, I'm not going to give that message to the kids.
	I want to, you know, tote an old.45, you know, classic Westerns like I grew up with.
	Or American Revolutionary guns.
	And so we had to look elsewhere.
	We would go to historical places.
	And at the historical places, you'd get wooden reenactment.
	Not reenactment, but wooden toy guns and things like that, muskets and stuff.
	So we searched around until we could find them.
	But when they got a little bit older, I got them real swords.
	And... There was actually a certain logic to that.
	We'd get them collectors. They liked Lord of the Rings, and so we'd get them like Aragorn's sword or something like that, or Sting, and they would be very careful with it, you know?
	You'd get them a plastic sword.
	They're stabbing each other with it, but those things, oh, let's put that on the wall, you know?
	Take it down every once in a while and look at it, hold it.
	So they'd be careful with that.
	More so than they would be with some of these other things and less likely to get hurt.
	Anyway, California Family Council President said activists and state legislators have no right to force retailers to espouse government-approved messages.
	That's right. Whether you're talking about guns or whether you're talking about, in this particular case, sexuality and gender, he said.
	This is a violation of free speech and it's just plain wrong.
	And it's unnecessary.
	In a marketplace. If people can't find the toys they're looking for, they're not going to come back to your store.
	The bill passed by a huge majority in California in September of 2021, and they just activated it.
	It passed 49 to 16 and took effect yesterday because, you know, that's the way these things roll out.
	We're indebted to Fauci for giving us that little soundbite, telling us how they do stuff.
	They do it from the inside.
	They do it iteratively.
	And they do it with chaos, and that's what this is all about.
	They started this stuff two years ago, and they're rolling it out.
	Meanwhile, California's new gun restrictions just took effect, and these are traps to keep people who have gone through the difficult process of getting a carry permit in California.
	It's to entrap them.
	They're doing the same thing they did in California right away.
	California said, okay, well, we're going to have special safe places where you can't carry a gun.
	You know, after the Bruin decision, the Supreme Court said you can't prohibit people from being able to carry.
	It's not going to be a May issue, but it's going to be a must issue.
	And so they looked at it and said, okay, but then what we can do is we can say, we'll give you the permit to carry, but we won't permit you to carry it in secure places.
	And we've got a long list of secure places.
	And so this bill, which was also signed in September...
	Has 26 categories of places where you can't carry a gun.
	Parks, playgrounds, zoos, libraries, museums, banks, hospitals, places of worship, public transportation, stadiums, athletic facilities, casinos, bars, and restaurants that serve alcohol.
	And then any privately owned commercial establishment that is open to the public is by default prohibited unless the people who have that commercial establishment expressly permit it.
	And this is what happens when you have gun permits.
	They expand it all the way through.
	And so it's basically anywhere...
	We used to teach them pronouns and say, you know, a pronoun is anywhere that a mouse can go.
	A mouse can go. You know, over the wall, through the wall, around the wall, under the wall.
	Well, that's what they're doing here with their permits.
	You're going to be not permitted to carry it anywhere a mouse could go.
	A U.S. District Judge noted on December 20th, as he issued a preliminary injunction against this, he said, quote, California will not allow concealed carry permit holders to effectively practice what the Second Amendment promises.
	This coverage of this law is sweeping.
	He said it is repugnant to the Second Amendment.
	That's what the judge said. And it is also openly defiant of the Supreme Court.
	And so he put that injunction on.
	But then you had the Ninth Circuit Court, which is always openly defiant of the Constitution, and perhaps even the Supreme Court, which overturned that.
	And so now that is in effect.
	COVID mask mandates are returning in New York, Illinois, California, because they never really went away.
	You see, we never told these people that they had to surrender the powers that they had usurped.
	And so they hung on to them.
	And we're going to have to get rid of this whole concept of public health and the public health departments.
	They're not needed.
	Public health is nonsense.
	There is no such thing as public health if you ignore the health of individuals.
	And that's what the public health departments have become.
	They're not out there trying to determine if there's...
	Sanitary conditions in restaurants or any of the rest of this stuff.
	They have escaped the bonds of the Constitution and common sense.
	They're out there deciding what you must have and what you may not have.
	And the whole concept of public health without individual health is just total nonsense because the public's health It is that of individuals.
	And they're no longer focused on things that the public is going to be interacting on, but they focus on the individual.
	So if public health is focused on the individual, they're acting like a doctor.
	They're not acting like a public health institution.
	These things need to be shut down and rethought.
	And all the people involved in them need to be fired.
	City hospitals in New York City have reinstated masks after the CDC gave them some data.
	Because the CDC would never lie about any data that it would give people.
	And then in Illinois, same thing.
	The threat to your health, folks, is the public health people.
	They're the real threat. And they're the threat to your individual liberty.
	Instead of calling them public health, we need to call them communist health, or as Eric Peters called them, the Gesundheit fear.
	I had somebody send me, and I sent me a clip of somebody who was a commentator in Germany talking about all this lockdown stuff and everything.
	And she used the term, Gesundheit für, which is pretty cool.
	But Eric Peters thought of that.
	The festive season was the worst for COVID they had seen in years, they said, in Illinois and Wisconsin.
	Really? How many years has it been around?
	I thought it was supposed to be novel.
	But it's the worst that they've seen in years.
	They're stepping up this whole thing.
	California County is doing it again.
	They're stepping it all up.
	Trying to run this scam yet again.
	And when we come back, we're going to talk about some of the other scams that are coming.
	There's a new smart city that's going to be coming up in Georgia.
	And it's got a lot of what we've been looking at with these smart cities, with Freedom Cities, with 5G and all the rest of this stuff.
	Look at how they designed it.
	And of course, in Georgia, right?
	I was just saying how Brian Kemp went to Davos.
	Maybe they gave him the plans for this.
	Before we go to break, on Rock Van Angus Mustang, David, good place to put a Hemi.
	Yeah, well, you know, it's incredibly expensive, but there's a company called Flying Miata out in Colorado.
	They put in Corvette V8s.
	I mean, they can cram that thing in there.
	But it's like $50,000 is ridiculous.
	It's like buying a new pickup truck or something.
	Because pickup trucks are ridiculously expensive.
	But I, you know, I pretty much did everything I could to this Miata except the engine.
	I was perfectly fine with the engine.
	It's a small engine and it's a lot more fun to drive a small car fast than it is to drive a fast car, a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow.
	I mean, I would just... I would hate to have a really big engine and not be able to put my foot down on the gas.
	I can, you know, run through the gears and everything with...
	or could in the past with a Miata.
	Anyway, on Rockfan, Dougalug, more horsepower equals more fun.
	Now, there was an engine swap that looked really good that was coming out of the UK, but I don't think anybody ever did it here in America for long.
	It's called a Rocket Miata.
	And they took a...
	They took a Jaguar engine.
	It was a six-cylinder engine, and it wasn't nearly as expensive, you know, but it was still more than I wanted to spend.
	Even if it were available, it was going to be like $10,000.
	But... Wasn't $50,000 to get the Corvette V8. So the Jaguar six-cylinder was the period of time there where Ford owned our Jaguar, and they had a very intense partnership with Miata.
	So they were able to fit that in.
	And the guy who did the fit-up in the U.K. and was selling the conversion kits in the U.K., I did a really nice job.
	It's a beautiful engine. It had all kinds of fiber, carbon fiber in there for the different parts that he put in that were customized, but not going to be doing that.
	On Rockfin, Audi, Modern Retro Radio, good to see you, and thank you for the tip.
	Good morning, David. Great seeing you back in action.
	And Modern Retro Radio, P.S. We played your Christmas album over the holiday weekend on the station.
	Well, thank you very much for doing that.
	I really do appreciate that. And I want to thank everybody who bought the album.
	It was...
	It was a financial help, but it was a real compliment that people would buy the album.
	And so I really do appreciate that.
	It's very encouraging for something else that I want to do.
	Thank you very much, all of you who bought that.
	And I just want to say, we sent the link out and we put it up with WeTransfer, which would be good for a week at a time.
	So, if you bought it and you weren't able to download it, just let us know.
	We'll send you another link.
	We had somebody just contact us on New Year's Day, I think.
	They'd been busy with family and they didn't get it downloaded, so we'll be happy to send that to you.
	And if you have any trouble downloading any of this stuff, let us know with that as well.
	On RockFan, Brian Taylor, thank you very much for the tip.
	He said, have you heard of the Jones Plantation movie?
	I was able to watch it over the holidays.
	I thought it was really good, much better than the garbage coming out of Hollywood.
	Alex Jones Plantation movie?
	I don't know what that is.
	I don't know. I escaped that plantation.
	So maybe this is a different one.
	So I don't know.
	I haven't seen anything good come out of Hollywood in quite some time, I must say.
	So I'll have to take a look at that if that's an exception.
	We'll be right back. Tell Alexa to add the APS Radio skill and have access to the best channels anywhere.

	Get details at APSradio.com.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Wow.
	Before I get back to the news, I want to thank some of the people who have sent cards and letters and information about my high blood pressure and heart.
	I really do appreciate it.
	Let me say first, though, Tom and Nancy have been supporters of ours for a long time, some of the earliest and longest supporters we've had.
	And he sends us periodically pictures of his kids who are growing up as they Homeschool them, but he said his dad is in the hospital and in pain.
	He said, I'm sad as I write this.
	Please pray for him to be okay.
	So please pray for Tom's father, and please lift him up in prayer.
	And I want to thank Amos Poole, who sent a very nice card.
	He's also a big supporter of the program.
	And I got your book, and I will take a look at it.
	It's called Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, A Doctor's Quest to Understand, Treat, and Prevent Cardiovascular Disease by Thomas Cowan.
	Thank you very much for that. I appreciate that.
	And I will take a look at that.
	So thank you, Amos.
	I appreciate the book and your concern.
	And I've had others who have written me, and we're looking this up, and from...
	From one listener who sends his easy, who sends his greetings as a trombone jazz greetings.
	He sent me a great deal of information about heart health and other things.
	It was kind of interesting to see that there was, before Christmas, there was an article about statins and just how harmful they are.
	That is still something that doctors want to push on me all the time.
	NPR, I should say. Back when we were in North Carolina, just because I would be out in the yard working, I would listen to whatever was on at the time, and that was the only thing that I could get was NPR. And they had Joe and Terry Graydon of the People's Pharmacy, and I didn't really care much about what they had to say about it, but they had...
	They hammered statins.
	That was like their pet peeve.
	And so I'd been inoculated against that nonsense before I ever got proposed to it by doctors.
	So again, even NPR can get something right occasionally.
	So yeah, stay away from statins, absolutely.
	But thank you, all of you, for that.
	And I've got a list of people who have sent us checks, and I will get that in another break.
	And send us things, cards and support in December.
	I want to read that. And I've got another book here, and I'll talk about that in a moment as well.
	But let's talk about what's going on in this Georgia smart city.
	It's a small town called Peachtree Corners, and they want to use this as a test bed.
	They want to have it, and this is a breathless tech article about how wonderful this is going to be.
	And look at this, they say Georgia, but remember that Georgia was where they had the Georgia Guidestones for a while.
	So there's something going on there.
	And so they want to have an infrastructure, a small, smart city there, a connected infrastructure of 5G communication, and a robotic underground delivery system to provide food and other things to homes and to businesses.
	The company that is going to be doing this...
	That is partnering with the city because, again, it's always going to be public-private partnership.
	And these companies are jockeying for position as stakeholders who will own things when you own nothing.
	This company is called Pipe Dream.
	How appropriate. Pipe Dream.
	Because they're going to put it in a tunnel and send it to you, but the whole thing is a pipe dream.
	And as I saw this, you know, I thought...
	You know, Trump pushed 5G very hard.
	You remember how hard he pushed that?
	And I said at the time, you know, Trump and all these other people said, well, we can't let Huawei, the Chinese company, we can't let them get involved with the 5G thing, because they're going to use 5G to spy on people.
	And so I thought, oh, so you want to use your companies so you can spy on us.
	Quite frankly, I'm far more threatened by the American government spying on me than I am the Chinese government spying on me.
	But it was a tacit admission that 5G was just going to be a surveillance system.
	Over and above the health issues of 5G. And so he pushed it very hard.
	And of course, he's also talking about Freedom Cities, his 5G cities.
	But when I saw this robotic underground delivery system to give you your food and things like that, it kind of made me think of H.G. Wells' time machine.
	Remember in that he imagines that he goes into the future and you've got these little, you know, pink helpless Eloy on the surface.
	And then underground, you have the Morlocks, and they're actually growing the Eloi to eat them.
	But the Morlocks come up from underground and feed them.
	And I thought, that's exactly what this is, this pipe dream.
	This pipe dream is like the time machine, where the company and the government are the Morlocks, and they send you the food underground to the Elois, who become more and more dependent and helpless on them.
	So, it would connect a busy shopping center to the heart of their lab.
	Curiosity Lab's 25,000 square foot smart city innovation center.
	Curiosity Lab members will be able to order food from a handful of restaurants and select convenience items on demand.
	And so...
	This is the way the test is going to work.
	They're going to set this thing up, and they're going to – I don't even know that it will be delivered by autonomous robots.
	I may have people deliver it, right?
	They're just trying to see how the demand is going to work.
	I remember when we had our video stores back in the late 80s to the late 90s, Northern Telecom and AT&T were heavily invested there in Research Congo Park.
	And we had people who were customers who worked for them.
	And they said, yeah, they got pictures of video stores on the wall.
	And, you know, you are the target.
	So they want to replace because they knew that to get stuff on demand and that what people would like would be the streaming services like we have now.
	But, of course, at that time, they called it video on demand.
	And so they set up these test cases to see what consumer demand was going to be like.
	And they found that of all the services that they were going to offer, the only one that people cared about was videos.
	But on the video side...
	They would have humans in a box, and so they connected it up to these communities, and the people could select from a menu of films that they want to watch, which is pretty passe today, but it was a big deal back in the late 80s.
	And what these people would do, they had hard wire running from, they had like a VCR, they had all the movies were on tape, you know, VHS tape, and they had a VCR and a hard run wire to each house.
	And this little thing to simulate what video on demand or streaming would be like.
	So they could look at consumption, demand, and things like that.
	And so you would order up a movie and they had this person and he would go get the videotape and he'd stick it in the thing and start playing it so you could watch it.
	They actually did that.
	And that's what they're doing with this.
	They're going to set up a little curiosity lab.
	And it's going to be limited in terms of, you know, it's going to be a small town, and it's going to be a small portion of that town.
	The autonomous robotics system will offer numerous benefits to city residents, as they describe it, such as elimination of carbon emissions, reduction of traffic congestion, and reduction of noise pollution by taking drivers off the road, and minimizing vehicular accidents, and wait a minute, everything that they mention here.
	It has to do with your private car.
	So we're going to create an underground pipeline.
	It's a company called Pipe Dream.
	We're going to ship the products to you so you don't ever have to leave your cell, your house arrest.
	You can stay there.
	And every one of the benefits has to do with eliminating cars.
	Isn't that telling? And so Pipe Dream says that their services will enable 95% plus of goods to be delivered to a community in less than 10 minutes.
	There's your 15-minute city.
	You don't even have to worry about walking 15 minutes to something.
	They'll deliver it to you in 10 minutes.
	And they'll do it all for just a $1 delivery charge.
	That's where it'll start. And then they'll share the revenue with the city.
	This is economic fascism.
	This is a corporate government takeover.
	This is a corporatocracy, or you can call it economic fascism.
	It's the Chinese model where the government has got to share in everything.
	And they decide who gets to compete.
	You don't have markets.
	You have government mandates instead of markets.
	And this $1 delivery fee is just for starters.
	It's just like the income taxes or any new taxes.
	When they put them in, they put them in very, very low and then ratchet them up.
	Pipe Dream says this.
	By 2030, there's that date again.
	By 2030, we want to achieve hyper-logistics.
	Oh, wow. That sounds very impressive.
	What is that? Well, they define that as hyperlogistics, I said, is a state of logistics where you can have things delivered reliably in under 10 minutes for less than a dollar, return things just as easily as you receive them, and share revenue with the city.
	Again, fascist, corporatism, communism is what this is.
	The U.S., they said, is expecting to have 40% of its traffic dedicated to delivery by 2030, and we at Pipe Dream hope to bring that traffic underground.
	Well, there you go.
	40% of the traffic dedicated to delivery, because they're going to get rid of...
	Most of the other uses of your car.
	It is a very sinister vision of the future, and it is something that they're trying to accelerate, and they're partners with the government in ripping you off, locking you down.
	It's just another form of lockdown, folks.
	And again, you know, justified by, oh, we're going to get rid of emissions and so forth and get rid of cars.
	In terms of the virtual metaverse that they want to lock you into, look at this article out of the UK. And of course, where else?
	Where you got the British police arresting people for silently praying for thought crimes and other stuff like that.
	Now they say they have the first virtual rape case in the metaverse.
	I know, you're saying, what?
	What? How could you have a person be raped in a virtual metaverse?
	A young girl's digital persona was sexually attacked by a gang of adult men in a video game, sparking the first investigation of its kind.
	Yeah, where else but here?
	And again, what the underlying subtext of this is about.
	They want to lock you into your Ready Player One universe, your virtual world, and you're not going to go anywhere.
	They'll deliver the food to you with a tunnel or a drone or something like that, and your entire existence will be virtual.
	And so they got to make this more real for people.
	The girl was under the age of 16, said to have been left distraught after her avatar, her digital character, was gang-raped by online strangers.
	Again, she's wearing a headset.
	This is a video game. She didn't suffer any injuries.
	There was no physical attack.
	But people are being trained for snowflake victimhood, which is what this is.
	But then the other question is, why is a 16-year-old girl playing a video game where this type of stuff is modeled, this type of behavior is modeled?
	Again, like Grand Theft Auto.
	Imagine coming out in a couple of years.
	I wouldn't be surprised if it was virtual reality type of stuff.
	But why would they even put sexual encounter type stuff in a virtual reality world?
	And why would a 16-year-old girl be there?
	That's the question. Again, what are we going to do to police this?
	Everybody's going to have an ID? That's going to be the solution they're going to push.
	As a matter of fact, the government says, the Daily Mail, as they quote one person, they said, the government needs to look at changing the law to protect women and children from harm in these virtual environments.
	It's always about saving the children until you're talking about giving them pornography in school.
	Giving them chemicals and surgery to mutilate them.
	Then it's not about protecting the kids.
	And it's not about protecting the kids before they're born.
	But they will use that to try to push these things through.
	A senior police officer told the Daily Mail that sexual offending in the metaverse is now rife.
	They've got an epidemic of this stuff.
	And so we've got to do something.
	There's got to be some laws to stop all this stuff.
	Laws aren't going to do it.
	It's just going to be more attempts to control you.
	They want the sex in the games to lure kids into the games.
	And then they can say, and now we have to have a way to control it.
	Problem solution.
	The passing of the Online Safety Act is instrumental to this, they said.
	And again, this Online Safety Act that they've pushed in the UK is one of the most controlling, censoring pieces of legislation that anybody has ever come up with in any country.
	And so this is going to be another story to try to push that, to try to justify that.
	So, expect AI development to explode in 2024, say the experts on this Fox News story.
	Governments will also have to grapple with how to regulate the new tech.
	They're not going to regulate the new tech.
	They're going to regulate you.
	Because the new tech will be a problem, so you'll have to be regulated.
	If the new tech creates fake videos, then you'll have to prove that you're real.
	They're not going to require the AI to do that.
	As a matter of fact, what they're looking at, they're going to turn the AI, as I said before, they're going to turn it into Stasi.
	Whenever you see artificial intelligence, think about the Stasi snitches in East Germany informing to the police everything about their neighbors.
	What saved people from some of the prying eyes and persecution and torture in East Germany was the fact that they had so much information that they couldn't process it all.
	And that's where the AI comes in.
	They've been collecting all kinds of information on all of us for quite some time and setting up all kinds of structures to collect that information.
	So much so, they can't process all of it, but they can use the artificial intelligence now to data mine that.
	And so, here's where the epic struggle is coming.
	I like this headline from Technocracy News.
	I'm not going to go into the details of it, but the headline says it all.
	This is the epic struggle that is coming before us.
	On the one side, you've got transgenderism and transhumanism, which are one and the same.
	They really are one and the same.
	And on the other side, you have Christianity.
	Let me ask you, which side is Musk on?
	Well, he is firmly entrenched on the side of transhumanism.
	He's got a child who is into transgenderism, and he's been critical of that.
	But we all know that the transgenderism is, right now, it's a form of pedophilia, manipulation.
	Don't tell your parents about that.
	They're grooming kids. Shh, don't tell them what we're doing here.
	So it is a form of pedophilia.
	It is something that allows the pedophiles to say, well, if, you know, kids can consent to changing their gender at a very, very early age, then they should be able to consent to having sex, right?
	So it is pushing pedophilia.
	But understand that where it's ultimately going is to transhumanism.
	Because as they put you into virtual reality, and as you've already got kids dressing up in furry costumes and going to school and pretending that they're furries, how much more so when they live in virtual reality?
	This is where this is all headed.
	And as a matter of fact, as we talk about these science fiction writers, Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, his brother, Julian Huxley, a humanist, a transhumanist, he's the one who actually coined the term transhumanism.
	1957 article, New Bottles for New Wine.
	He said, we shall start from new premises.
	The human species can, if it wishes, transcend itself, not just sporadically, an individual here in one way, an individual there in another way, but in its entirety as humanity.
	We need a name for this new belief.
	Perhaps transhumanism will serve.
	Man remaining man, but transcending himself by realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature.
	I believe in transhumanism.
	Once there's enough people who can truly say that, the human species will be on the threshold of a new kind of existence as different from ours as ours is from the Peking man.
	It will at last be consciously fulfilling its real destiny.
	And we hear people saying that all the time, don't we?
	We hear people like Yuval Harari saying it.
	We hear people saying that in so many words like Elon Musk, for example.
	There was an article over the holidays, yet again, he's said this in the past, how he wants to turn Twitter, or X, into a hive mind.
	There are no billionaire benefactors.
	There are no benevolent billionaires.
	They're all looking at you as a product or something that they can use.
	They want your activity to train their artificial intelligence and then use that to have the artificial intelligence keep an eye on you.
	They want to be able to monitor what everybody is talking about.
	They want to see how their narrative is being accepted or opposed by people.
	It's all about control.
	All of these people are about control.
	And the place that this is going to break down is going to be transhumanism versus Christianity.
	Transhumanism is not going to be opposed by Republicans.
	They're going to be on board with this like they are the wars and everything else.
	This is something that is above politics.
	Politics is downstream from your religion.
	This is a religion for these people.
	And they're going to be teaming with government to get even wealthier and more powerful.
	And it's only going to be the people who are looking for something that transcends this humanity that are going to be able to stop transhumanism.
	These people are falling for the ancient lies, the ancient satanic lies.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	Before we do, let me read a couple of comments here on Rock Van Handy.
	Good to see you there. Happy New Year.
	He says, I've had a patient with statin-induced dementia.
	Wow. My girlfriend's stepfather experienced it as well.
	Extreme brain fog and memory problems after beginning a statin.
	Wow. Glad I didn't do it.
	Yeah, it's amazing.
	On Rockfan, Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	Good to see you again. He says, there's a phrase that describes NPR reporters who tell the truth.
	Former NPR reporter.
	That's a good one. That's absolutely true.
	Yeah. Infowars as well.
	Rock fan, a Syrian girl.
	It's funny how the biggest group of people who still don't know that statins are dangerous to human beings are the people with medical degrees.
	Yeah, because they exist to push pharmaceuticals.
	That's all that they are about.
	Well, let's take a break, and when we come back, We're going to move on to whatever is next on my list here.
	I've got it buried with paperwork.
	But we're going to be right back.
	And I just want to say thank you to APS Radio also for sponsoring the show.
	And we'll be right back.

	Everything turn, turn, turn.
	There is a season turn, turn, turn.
	And they are time to every purpose, undone.
	A time to be born, a time to die, a time to plan, a time to read, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to laugh, a time to leave. a time to laugh, a time to leave.
	The fourth turning is due to begin shortly after the new millennium.
	through the double O decade.
	About the year 2005, a sudden spark will catalyze a crisis mood.
	Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate.
	Political and economic trust will implode.
	Real hardship will beset the land with severe distress that could involve questions of class, race, nation and empire.
	The very survival of the nation will feel at stake.
	Sometime before the year 2025, America will pass through a great gate in history, commensurate with the American Revolution, Civil War, and twin emergencies of the Great Depression and World War II. The basis of this prediction is a cyclical view of history that Strauss and Howe discovered by going back through American and English history back to the mid-1400s.
	And they discovered that just as we have seasons of weather, we have seasons of society.
	And just as we don't know the exact date that winter is going to come, or whether it's going to be a harsh or mild winter, we do know that it's going to follow fall, and we do know the approximate time that it's going to come.
	We take a close look at the rhythms of American history, and in our book we make the following big prediction that beginning about ten years from now, America is due to enter an era of crisis, an era of political and social upheaval.
	That will last around 20 years or so until the late 2020s.
	We call this era a fourth turning.
	We think it's going to be a big threshold for the history of our nation.
	It's going to be something on par with World War II and the Great Depression, or going back the length of a human lifespan before then, the Civil War, or going back the length of another human lifespan, the American Revolution.
	It could be a time of tragedy or a time of great opportunity.
	What they found was that societies will go through four phases of high, awakening, unraveling, and crisis.
	Humans go through four phases of life, childhood, young adult, midlife, and elderhood.
	And they notice generations where people have shared experiences and attitudes are spaced about 20 years apart.
	And generations are shaped by where their childhood falls within the phases of society.
	Now this got my attention because I noticed there was a repeating pattern of about 72 years between significant dates in American history as well as some other histories.
	For example, if you go from the time the U.S. Constitution was written in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War, 1861, that's 72 years.
	Another 72 years takes us to 1933, the beginning of the New Deal, another major transformation of American society.
	If you go another 72 years, that took us to about 2005, exactly where Strauss and Howe had predicted a major crisis and change would occur.
	And in addition, if you look at the Russian Revolution, from 1917 to 1989 was about 72 years.
	So it seemed to fit with a life cycle of humans.
	In a cycle, four generations, 20 years apart, are shaped by when their childhood falls within that cycle.
	And the names they use in their book, The Fourth Turning, come from the biblical account of Exodus.
	For example, you have one generation as a prophet generation.
	Now think of Moses calling a generation to change.
	The next generation, the nomad generation, wandering in the wilderness, a period of crisis and restlessness.
	The following generation would be a hero generation.
	Think of the Joshua generation taking a promised land.
	That often involves a major war.
	And then finally, an artist generation.
	The generation that builds a new society.
	Well, where does Strauss and Howe think that we are in this cycle?
	The researchers see the millennial generation, those born between 1982 to 2004, as the hero generation.
	And they see our society entering a fourth turning, a crisis period where society will be fundamentally transformed as it was with the American Revolution, the Civil War, or the New Deal.
	And the last time we faced a fourth turning was the Great Depression and World War II. Strauss and Howe's predictions of 22 years ago now look prescient.
	We can see the storm surge coming in our society at our time, just as if a hurricane was approaching the shore.
	Now, our government has been undermining the foundations of liberty for a long time.
	And the question is, will you be a sandbag to help hold up and protect liberty, or will you stand by as it gets swept away and we enter a new dark age of authoritarianism?
	Well, again, that's a little over a decade old, that report.
	And you noticed in that, as they were saying when they wrote the book back in the early 90s, somewhere around 2025 we would enter a great gate.
	Well, that's when the next president is going to be sworn in.
	This is going to be the president that takes us through this fourth turning.
	This is something that is happening.
	It's happening globally. They understand the season that we're in.
	You better understand the season that we're in as well.
	And again, going back to Strauss and Howe, they were the ones who coined the term millennial, Gen X and Gen Z and all the rest of this stuff.
	Everybody uses those terms, but nobody talks about the central thesis of what they're talking about.
	It's not just about labeling these generations, but the fact that these generations have an 80-year cycle.
	And so when you look at the boomers, they're like, you know, a generation that was 80 years earlier.
	Another one that is to come.
	Even Biden, if Biden knows this, if Biden knows about the fourth turning, why are they still trying to hide it from it?
	And here's what he had to say about it.
	We are at an inflection point, I believe, in the world economy.
	Not just the world economy, in the world.
	It occurs every three or four generations.
	As one of the top military people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946.
	And since then, we've established a liberal world order, and that hadn't happened in a long while.
	A lot of people died, but nowhere near the chaos.
	And now is a time when things are shifting.
	There's going to be a new world order out there.
	And we've got to lead it.
	We've got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it.
	So anyway. Yeah.
	New world order out there. And he's trying to secure his place at the table.
	All these people are. And, of course, it involves democide.
	Mass murder, as he talked about there.
	He's kind of dropping these little hints here, you know, because, again, it's Joe Biden.
	He's going to... Sometimes say the quiet part out loud.
	Happens once every three or four generations.
	It's like a big war.
	And we have been in a civil war for a number of years now.
	Now, a lot of people don't realize that the civil war has already started.
	Oh, it's going to be a civil war.
	No, it's already here. It's a cold civil war.
	We haven't had the fighting breakout yet, but it is a cold war.
	And so I thought it was very interesting that That over my holiday, I saw that the Wall Street Journal was really coming after Nikki Haley because of her comments or lack of comments about the Civil War.
	Wall Street Journal and Wall Street investors in general, they love Nikki Haley because she's all about the military-industrial complex.
	She's all about wars. And they were kind of surprised that she didn't really have an answer to That Nuki Haley didn't have an answer for our own Civil War.
	Here's the exchange that happened up in New Hampshire that got them talking about it.
	What was the cause of the United States Civil War?
	Well, don't come with an easy question, right?
	I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run.
	The freedoms and what people could and couldn't do.
	What do you think the cause of the Civil War was?
	I'm sorry?
	I'm not only the president.
	I want to see your two good things on the cause of the Civil War.
	I mean, I think it always comes down to the role of government.
	And what the rights of the people are.
	And I will always stand by the fact that I think government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people.
	It was never meant to be all things to all people.
	Government doesn't need to tell you how to live your life.
	They don't need to tell you what you can and can't do.
	They don't need to be a part of your life.
	They need to make sure that you have freedom.
	We need to have capitalism.
	We need to have economic freedom.
	We need to make sure that we do all things so that individuals have the liberties, so that they can have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to do or be anything they want to be without government getting in the way.
	Thank you. And in the year 2023, it's astonishing to me that you answered that question without mentioning the word slavery.
	What do you want me to say about slavery?
	You answered my question.
	Thank you. Next question.
	Yeah, well, it's astonishing to me that as we have massive digital IDs, which she pushed, I've got to know your name if you're going to get on the Internet.
	We've got to end anonymity.
	We must have an ID for people to be on the Internet.
	And you must live your life on the Internet.
	And we must have CBDC and de-platforming of people and censorship of people.
	We've got to know what kind of content you produce, and we've got to look at that before you even upload it.
	That's what the CCPA is about.
	The Chinese Communist Party of America.
	And I mean the Coalition for Content, Provenance, and Authentication.
	Led by Microsoft on behalf of DARPA, working with...
	The major CPU manufacturers, the major application creators like Adobe and so forth to...
	To mark you on an individual basis, what they're doing with NewsGuard right now.
	NewsGuard, ElectionGuard, DARPA goes to Microsoft, gives them money to set these things up.
	ElectionGuard completely funded with a DARPA grant of $10 million, a subsidiary of Microsoft.
	It's the Pentagon that is at war with us.
	This is a civil war.
	It is going to get even more personal with artificial intelligence.
	And Nikki Haley pretends that she's all about individual liberty and that's what the purpose of government is, no?
	And what I'm concerned about is that you've got people like this guy in New Hampshire who wants to talk to her about slavery 160 years ago.
	What about the slavery that's coming?
	The chains that are already on our hands and feet that are solidifying As they're putting on even more chains.
	Nobody wants to talk about the coming slavery And none of these politicians want to address it at all.
	Actually, you had DeSantis addressed it, but immediately they asked him, you know, you had a whole press conference about CBDC. They immediately turned it to Trump.
	But Trump was indicted. Let's talk about that.
	Let's not talk about your slavery.
	Let's not talk about a ballot that is closed to everybody but the approved candidates.
	And look at how insular that whole system has become now.
	Even to the extent that...
	You couldn't have candidates go on to network TV, Republican candidates, and debate each other.
	The RNC is not going to allow it.
	Well, of course not. The RNC has been controlling debates in every way possible.
	It's just getting more obvious and out in the open, just like the DNC. You know, Biden doesn't want to have debates.
	Trump doesn't want to have debates.
	But it's not simply because they're frontrunners.
	They don't want to have debates, and the RNC and the DNC have not wanted to have debates, and they've not wanted to have competition on the ballot for the longest time.
	They don't want to talk about issues.
	They will always have very carefully managed debates that are carefully scripted with approved media talking heads to only ask the safe questions, the same ones they ask every election cycle, even though things are very, very different right now.
	And they are coming at us with some very, very dangerous plans.
	Nobody wants to talk about those plans.
	Nobody wants to talk about the coming slavery.
	And it's coming.
	And this next this election that we're going to be going through this year, and I know it's going to be a difficult year because, as the listener was pointing out, you know, they really, you know, you say that you're opposed to Trump for what he did.
	What he did? I'm not opposed to him for his debauched lifestyle.
	I don't like it. I knew about his debauched lifestyle, but I also knew about Hillary Clinton, so I supported him the first time he ran.
	We'll see what he does.
	Well, you know, he didn't surprise.
	He went through, you know, acted the same way as you would expect him to.
	He's unfaithful to his wives, he's unfaithful to the Constitution, and unfaithful to his supporters.
	And we know better now.
	And there's no excuse for that.
	But I'll be called Barabbas.
	I'll be called a rat.
	You know, they're already talking about the anti-Trump people.
	I see this in the headlines. Now that's the newest thing, to call us rats.
	Fine. I don't really care.
	You see, that's one of the other things.
	I just have to say, you know, to the supporters who were talking about marijuana, how important it was for, you know, there to be social condemnation of it.
	Like I said, there's not really social condemnation of marijuana use.
	There's government condemnation of it.
	But we have to, that I think is one of the big obstacles that we've got to get over.
	And that is caring about what people say about us socially.
	We have to develop a thick enough skin so when they come after us, we don't really care about it.
	Christ said, they hate me, they're obviously going to hate you, right?
	The servant is not greater than the master.
	If they hate me, they're going to hate you.
	If you're going to be a Christian, you're going to get social condemnation.
	You're going to be attacked, and it's getting direct now from the government.
	And so you have to not worry about peer pressure, not worry about the mob, and not even worry about the government.
	We have to transcend that fear of man.
	And that is the essential thing.
	And that's something that I know Rush Limbaugh used to always say, the law is the great teacher.
	And I disagreed with him on that.
	You know, the law can be used by God to identify what sin is.
	But, um, you're not going to, uh, that does not give us character.
	All it does is it brings condemnation, right?
	It isn't typically the type of thing where you, and that's what Paul talks a great deal about.
	He says, well, I, um, Now I know what sin is, but it actually makes it more tempting.
	It's like the sign that says, don't touch, freshly painted, don't touch.
	You've got to go over and touch it, don't you?
	Or keep off the grass. People will walk across and they see that sign.
	There's something in human nature that will frequently get people to, you know, once you lay down a law, they will want to break it to some degree or another, or to test it.
	And so we have to understand that there has to be something else there that is going to motivate us, other than just the fear of man or the fear of government.
	So, again, what are we going to do about this slavery that is coming?
	Fast and furious at us.
	Over the next few years, it's going to roll out very rapidly.
	It's going to accelerate. So she is criticized by the Wall Street Journal.
	They say the Civil War gaffe tests Nuki Haley's 2024 pitch.
	They don't call her Nuki. I call her Nuki because she wants war everywhere.
	Nuclear war would be just fine with her.
	You know, I suggest that...
	She and Lindsey Graham nuking out with each other.
	GOP presidential candidate tries to get back on track as rivals question her readiness and her honesty.
	As they said, every schoolchild knows that Civil War was about slavery and only about slavery.
	Well, why do they know that?
	Well, because they've been fed a lot of misinformation by the government.
	That's not what it is about.
	Critics in both parties admonished her.
	Washington Post says she acknowledges that the Civil War was about slavery after she faces a backlash.
	Again, she doesn't know what she believes.
	She doesn't have any principles.
	It's going to be a trial balloon.
	She's afraid to speak about it.
	She doesn't want to talk about that.
	Of course, the Civil War was about slavery, she said.
	We know that. That's unquestioned.
	That was always the case.
	We know the Civil War was about slavery.
	Oh. No, that's what she says.
	I say that as a Southerner.
	Is she from Southern India?
	Where's she from? What part of India is she from?
	Anyway. I say that as a Southern governor who removed the Confederate flag from the State House grounds, she said, to applause.
	And that's why she did it.
	To gain applause. And as I've said, you know, when we look at Dylann Roof, the guy who, she used that, you know, that horrible shooting, was it, was it Charleston?
	But, you know, this neo-Nazi who had a Confederate flag in the background, And he goes to a small Bible study or prayer meeting or something where everybody there was black except for him.
	They welcomed him in, as Christians would.
	And he goes to Bible study and prayer with these people and pulls out a gun and kills them.
	Now what kind of a psychopath is that?
	Does that sound like Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson to you?
	If it does, you don't know anything about history.
	And when I look at this, you know, the Ku Klux Klan, these other white supremacists, they were always about crosses too, weren't they?
	They liked to burn crosses.
	They liked to burn crosses on people's yards and things like that.
	So, is Nuki Haley going to ban crosses as well?
	Do we understand that the Ku Klux Klan has nothing to do with Christianity?
	And so we don't have to ban the cross either.
	Do we understand that they don't have anything to do with why the Civil War was fought?
	So we don't have to ban that flag or anything else.
	That was virtue signaling, and it was part of the cancel culture.
	She was on the leading edge of that, and that's why they like her.
	Now she wants to cancel TikTok.
	TikTok. And she wants war everywhere.
	She wants your ID for everything that you do on the Internet.
	So... Again, you know, when you look at this, and he kills all these people at a Bible study.
	Maybe he's anti-Christian.
	He's a neo-Nazi. The Nazis were anti-Christian.
	Maybe that's it.
	Maybe he's anti-Christian.
	He certainly was anti-black.
	But again, the Civil War was a fourth turning.
	And it was about more than slavery.
	As a matter of fact, you don't have to have a war to end slavery.
	William Wilberforce and Christians in the UK ended it without having a war.
	They actually, when they freed slaves in the Caribbean, they paid the slave owners for their financial loss, and they spent less money than the Union spent on ammunition to free the slaves.
	If you wanted to end slavery, there was a lot of different ways that you could do it.
	And if you go back and you know anything about history, you know that the pejorative term of the Union armies that invaded the South, they called the Southerners secesh.
	That was their preferred term.
	Rebel became the preferred term after the war, but they called everybody secesh.
	They were angry because they were seceding.
	It's like what, you know, Eric Peters wrote about with Abraham Lincoln.
	You know, abusive relationship.
	Leave me, I'll kill you.
	We can understand that on a personal relationship.
	Well, that was basically what Abraham Lincoln was doing.
	And it was, they never called each other, you know, they never called the southerners racist.
	Never. It was secesh.
	And even in New York, they had massive riots after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
	But if you read the proclamation, he didn't free any slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation.
	He freed the slaves only in the southern states.
	And there were slave-holding states in the border states in the north, and he didn't free the slaves there.
	As a matter of fact, he held that out as a bargaining chip to get the south to come back and to give up their right of secession.
	He said, if you do that, I'll let you keep the slaves.
	It was not about slaves, but I've said this before in terms of the fourth turning and how important it is for us to know the season that we are in globally.
	Globally. And I've said that this fourth turning, usually accompanied by war, It's already had the major economic upheaval that Strauss and Howe predicted, and I think it was 92 they wrote that book.
	They said sometime around mid-2000s, 2005 to 2008, there'll be some kind of a major financial thing, which we all know happened.
	And that will proceed in the fourth turning.
	It doesn't happen instantly like that.
	It happens and unfolds over a number of years.
	The Civil War was unusually short for a fourth turning.
	But they said it'll kick off this fourth turning.
	That will wrap up sometime around 2029.
	Of course, the UN has as their goal the new society being in place by 2030, the UN World Economic Forum.
	And so I've talked about how this is not something that was unique to the United States.
	At the time of the fourth turning, I said throughout various European states, there was a consolidation that was going on.
	And I had some time.
	To look this up, and I was surprised to find that I'm not the only person who has talked about the similarity of the American Civil War to what was happening throughout Europe, especially in Italy.
	There's a book by Enrico Dal Lago, The Age of Lincoln and Cavour.
	Who, you might ask, is Cavour?
	Well, I'm glad you asked, because then I'll tell you.
	But he says it's a comparative perspective On 19th century American and Italian nation building.
	You see, it was about rebuilding this nation.
	It was a great reset.
	It was a fourth turning.
	It was about tearing this country down that was essentially agrarian and decentralized, and then centralizing it and industrializing it.
	And it was about the competition between the agrarian powers and the industrial powers.
	And so, as he talks about it in Italy, so who is Cavour?
	Well, he says, in the early days of June 1861.
	You see, the interesting thing about this is that their Civil War was exactly the same time as ours.
	It was 1861 to 1865.
	It was the forces of consolidation.
	Versus those who wanted to have separate autonomous states.
	It was north versus south.
	It had everything in it except slaves.
	Because the slavery, even though that was something that changed, that was not the fundamental issue.
	And if we're going to understand history rightfully, we need to not be like a deer caught in the headlights or like a Nuki Haley who can't give a straight answer.
	And we need to not be brainwashed by the government history textbooks.
	In the early days of June 1861, Count Camillo Cavour, the first prime minister of a unified Italy, consolidated today, And former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which was part of Italy.
	Again, Italy had all these different power centers and all these different sovereign governments, just like America before the Civil War.
	Had each state was sovereign.
	Each state was just as sovereign as the states are, perhaps maybe even more so than the states that created the UN and that are part of the UN are.
	We recognize them as being independent and even as supposedly superior to the United Nations, although that is changing rapidly, isn't it?
	So he was the former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
	He was on his deathbed with a high fever.
	For the previous 10 years, Cavour had been the driving political and diplomatic force behind the movement that had led to Italian national unification.
	And that had resulted in the creation of the Kingdom of Italy in March of 1861.
	Almost exactly the same time as the American Civil War began.
	Even to the month.
	In those last days of his life, Cavour gave advice to his successors about maintaining the authority of the Italian government over the entire peninsula.
	And not treating the population of southern Italy too harshly.
	Southern Italy was a territory that Giuseppe Garibaldi had conquered in 1860, leading to the annexation of the Bourbon Kingdom, of the two Sicilies, to the north-based kingdom of Sardinia.
	It was in the process of Italian national unification.
	And again, Garibaldi, it was, as I've said before, how I came about this was Karen's twin brother, Studied in Italy.
	He learned to speak Italian.
	Her mother's side of the family is from Italy.
	And they were still in contact with Italian family members.
	And one of them gave him a diary of a guy who was a soldier in Garibaldi's army.
	And said, you may want to translate this into English.
	And that's how I started to realize that they had a civil war at exactly the same time we did.
	So, again, he was...
	They had the Bourbon Kingdom, the two Sicilies to the north-based kingdom of Sardinia.
	They were in the process of unifying all that into the nation-state of Italy.
	And again, Germany was being created as a nation-state.
	Italy was being created as a nation-state.
	The United States was being created as a nation-state.
	What was the Civil War about?
	Civil War was about the Industrial Revolution and the creation of a nation-state, a centralized, consolidated American government that was antithetical to everything that the founders of this country wanted and their design.
	So, Cavour, getting back to him, he feared the possibility of an Italian civil war.
	Starting from the southern part of the country, or the Mezzogiorno, in all likelihood reflected on the sequence of events that was unfolding in the United States.
	Significantly commented on the news of an imminent American civil war in a somewhat pessimistic tone, noting that while the thrust to unification takes hold of Europe, he said, America is about to divide itself.
	And that was what he's talking about, the secession.
	And yet, the reality was, was that America unified, Italy unified, Germany unified, all at the same time, all for the same reasons.
	Effectively, with this particular observation, he compared and contrasted the seemingly opposite process of national unification in Italy, which he optimistically saw as leading the way to other national unifications, such as the one that would take place in Germany, Only a few years later, and a national division in the United States implicitly posing the question of whether the breakup of the Union could serve as a cautionary tale for Italy and for the future unified countries of Europe.
	By June of 1861, he had reason to believe that a civil war was about to start in the United States.
	The previous February 7th, seven southern states had seceded.
	Then, of course, there was a firing on Fort Sumter, which...
	If you look at Shelby Foote's excellent historical work, Lincoln was looking, probing, for a place where he could provoke a confrontation and have them fire first.
	And so, of course, he picked South Carolina, knowing the people there.
	And he provoked that by sending in a resupply thing.
	But they talked about doing it at several other ports, all up and down the coast.
	And so after that happened, he called up, had 75,000 volunteers.
	Eventually it became a draft.
	He instituted the first draft as well as the first income tax.
	Called up 75,000 troops and then was going to call for 42,000 more.
	When he called for the 75,000, that was what triggered Virginia leaving.
	They said, if you're going to raise an army to invade the states that created the union, we're out of that kind of a union.
	In June 1861, it was clear, therefore, to external observers in Europe, including Cavour and Italy, that the Confederacy's secession from the Union was about to plunge the U.S. into a civil war.
	News of secession and imminent civil war from America had different meanings for different European nations.
	In nations that have been recently unified, such as Italy, or in nations that were still looking for ways to be unified, such as Germany, the aversion toward the U.S. southern states' secessionist movement was often a result of fear of anti-unification processes at home.
	It was about a unified, consolidated government.
	It wasn't about protecting individual liberty.
	That's the antithesis of individual liberty.
	A strong, consolidated, centralized government.
	Leading effectively to the five-year-long civil war called the Great Brigandage.
	That's what they called their civil war in Italy.
	And just like our war, it went from 1861 to 1865.
	Contemporaneous with the American Civil War.
	It was fought between the Italian army, made up mostly of northerners, and the southern Italian peasants and some decommissioned Bourbon soldiers.
	An interesting, unexplored counterpart to the course of the American Civil War.
	Isn't that interesting?
	All of it, including even the makeup of the armies.
	And industrialism versus peasants and their agrarian society. - Okay.
	It truly is amazing.
	And so we need to understand the forces that are involved.
	Because, you know, yes, they are putting chains on us.
	Yes, they're coming in with a high-tech slavery, and nobody wants to pay any attention to that.
	They want to refocus everybody to a red herring of something that was around 160 years ago that really is not relevant to When you consider what they're about to do to us right now, that is urgent.
	So I'm not here to debate history with people.
	I'm here to try to show you the overall pattern that is happening here and what they want to misdirect us from.
	And we need to understand that we are at great risk Because this is the fourth turning of having a world war, a civil war, and a revolutionary war all at the same time.
	And nobody sees it.
	Very few people are talking about this, and instead they want to talk about 1860.
	So both the Confederate South and the Italian Mezzogiorno, that's what they call the Italian South, were focused on rural labor and social relations in the countryside.
	So it was agrarian versus industrial, nationalist, protectionist.
	That was the dividing line.
	And it was happening all throughout the West.
	Interesting that when I started looking for this, I started looking for other publications comparing what happened in Italy to what happened in the United States.
	I found a federal government publication.
	And it was very interesting that they didn't mention the Italian Civil War at all.
	Because they don't want you to see the connection.
	And so they would talk about the newly created Italian government and how it had good relations with the American government.
	Say for many centuries, the Italian Peninsula was politically fragmented conglomeration of states.
	Well, you could say the same thing about America before the Civil War.
	The United States are.
	And it became the United States Is.
	This was the case when the United States announced its independence from Great Britain in 1776, and when war broke out between Austria and the revolutionary French government in 1792, the French invaded the Italian peninsula, consolidated many of the Italian states, and established them as republics.
	In 1799, the Austrian and Russian armies pushed the French out of the Italian peninsula, which led to the demise of these fledgling republics.
	Although Italy and the Italian peninsula remained fragmented throughout the mid-1800s, the concept of a united Italy began to take root.
	Secret societies formed to oppose the conservative regimes, and several of these societies also promoted Italian nationalism and the idea of a unified Italian political state.
	And that was the passion.
	That's why they would use a pejorative term of secesh.
	Because that was what the soldiers were fighting for in the north.
	The final push for Italian unification came in 1859, led by the Kingdom of Sardinia.
	That was then the wealthiest, most liberal of the Italian states and orchestrated by the prime minister, Count Cavour.
	A skilled diplomat, he secured an alliance with France.
	The Franco-Austrian War of 1859 was the agent that began the physical process of Italian unification.
	And so when we look at this, and they go on to talk about what was happening in Italy, but they completely avoid the civil war that was there.
	Because you've got to think that our civil war was unique, and it was uniquely about slavery.
	It wasn't. And so we need to understand the forces that are at play then are in a sense at play now as well.
	To try to completely reorganize our society, Into one of a virtual digital world where everything is under their control, under their surveillance.
	It is a technological revolution.
	And so we need to be aware of that and cognizant of it.
	And it's going to be, that makes it more difficult for them to pull this off if we at least know what it is.
	People will eventually wake up to it, just as many people have awakened to the danger of the vaccine and the danger of the lockdowns.
	But they still can't understand the purpose behind it, and they can't understand who is on our side and who is on the other side, who's playing on the other team.
	Take a look at what they do, and you'll know which team they're on.
	It's just that simple.
	Garibaldi's march to liberate the kingdom of the two Sicilies in 1860 brought the southern peninsula into the fold.
	That's as close as the American government's website comes to talking about the Italian Civil War.
	He marched to bring them into the fold.
	Oh, okay.
	Wasn't any war? Oh, yeah, there was a war, but they won't talk about that.
	They won't mention that.
	Washington, at the time, was worried that with Italy's long coastline, Confederate ships might seek shelter in Italian waters.
	With this in mind, the Italian government gave strong assurances that no Confederate ship would be admitted to Italian ports.
	Well, you see, they were on the same side.
	They wanted consolidated nations.
	They were industrial powers.
	And they cooperated with each other.
	So U.S. history ignores Italian Civil War.
	It ignores the aftermath.
	As a matter of fact, in the aftermath of that, people who are in the rural south of Italy, many of them immigrated to the United States because of the harsh conditions and the poverty that were enforced upon them.
	A lot of parallels.
	And we're going to see those same type of parallels coming in the future.
	History doesn't repeat itself.
	But it was marching in lockstep in America and in Europe in that fourth turning, and it's going to be coming back again.
	We will be right back.
	Music In
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered.
	Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSRadio.com.
	Death over the holidays.
	This is a British actor, Tom Wilkinson.
	You may not recognize his name, but you would recognize it.
	Pull up that article, Travis, and show them what he looks like.
	The interesting thing about it is that he died suddenly at home.
	And when we see that now, there's a reason why we ask these questions, isn't it?
	We've seen a lot of people who have died suddenly.
	And so, again, no cause of death given, just that he died suddenly at home.
	Now, he's 75 years old.
	That could be the reason.
	But the death rates from rare heart conditions are surging among young Americans.
	And this is put out by studyfinds.org, which is always putting out essentially establishment stories, stories that are linked by the Drudge Report.
	And yet they don't want you to see the cause of this.
	They've got a new cause. They've always got some kind of red herring to misdirect you to something else.
	They can't deny the fact that people are dropping dead.
	They can't deny the fact that young people are having heart attacks everywhere.
	So they come up with all kinds of absurd explanations.
	This one, this misdirection that they've just come up with, is to say, well, this is happening because of infective endocarditis.
	Now, we've had myocarditis.
	We've had pericarditis.
	Now, this is endocarditis.
	It's where the bacteria enters the bloodstream and infects the heart.
	Well, you know, maybe they'll have a jab for this soon, too, you know?
	And then throughout this article, they go on to blame this bacterial infection.
	They blame it on the use of opioids, and yet, even in that, they won't blame big pharmaceutical companies for the opioid epidemic.
	Where they gave it out like candy to people who did not need it.
	And that's the key thing.
	When you look at, for example, going back to drugs again, you look at drugs that are used for palliative care.
	If somebody is in intense pain, they've got stomach cancer, for example.
	They don't get addicted to the drugs.
	And it's not just because they don't live long enough to get addicted to the drugs.
	But the addiction process, it requires that the drug give you this sense of euphoria.
	And if you've got some severe pain, you're not getting that euphoria that's going to get you addicted.
	But because of this insane war on drugs, they have taken away and really put under a cloud of suspicion any physician That prescribes any palliative care.
	And I understand that it can be over-prescribed, as it was with opioids.
	And they got a lot of people who did not need to be on that, got addicted to that.
	But even in this article where they say, well, we got young people dying of heart attacks, and so we got this thing, endocarditis.
	Everybody's heard of myocarditis.
	Everybody's heard of pericarditis, right?
	We'd never heard of those before.
	Why do we hear about them?
	Because they became so common after the jab.
	After the jab. And so now they've got to come up with some new heart thing.
	And here's another one.
	There's always something, isn't it?
	You know, we can call it sudden adult death syndrome, like we used to always have sudden infant death syndrome from those previous vaccines.
	Now we've got sudden adult death syndrome.
	We've got, now they're saying, well, there's endocarditis, and that's coming from the opioids.
	But don't blame pharmaceutical. It's not the pharmaceutical company's fault.
	Now, this is...
	A doctor who writes an article on something called Stat Pearls, and she talks about the holiday heart syndrome.
	Oh, see, another excuse for people being killed by the jab.
	When you watched your non-binary vegan evangelist auntie on her 14th booster and proud of it, because, you know, the science is her religion, And Anthony Fauci is her lord.
	When you watch her kneel over at Christmas dinner, drooling through her gold standard N95 mask into her plate of gluten-free crickets, eyes glazed over, Good Morning America wants you to know that it was because of something called the holiday heart syndrome.
	That's the comment from...
	Armageddon pros who wrote this article.
	But here's what Stat Pearls says.
	The term holiday heart syndrome.
	These are the people who are selling this absurd thing here.
	The term holiday heart syndrome, and that's the woman who has sold us out in Good Morning America.
	It's used to describe the manifestation of cardiac arrhythmias following a period of binge drinking, often observed during weekends and holidays.
	This association between cardiac arrhythmias and binge drinking was originally introduced by Ettinger, who observed 24 patients getting hospitalized with atrial fibrillation after engaging in a weekend binge of alcohol consumption.
	So that must be what it is.
	Except it's much bigger than that.
	So that doctor there, TV doctor Jin, they have that clip as her back in 2020 where she says, she explains and it induced her to shed a couple of tears of joy that she got jabbed.
	So you can know that she has no ulterior motives.
	Says the Armageddon pros.
	And certainly wasn't passed a fact check under the table by Pfizer to run interference under the auspices of her medical credentials.
	In other words, oh, she wasn't shilling for them at all.
	Yeah, we've seen the Holiday Heart thing.
	If you recall, they even came up with an article saying, you know, we've got a lot of elderly people who are dropping dead gardening, not because of exertion, but because, you know, they're just stirring the soil, and I guess it's the gases that are coming out causing them to drop dead.
	So if you're going to be gardening, maybe you should wear a mask or something like that.
	So it could be Holiday Heart thing.
	It could be endocarditis which they're making that up.
	It could be any number of things but one thing we know It's definitely not the Trump shot.
	That's why they're admitting that the new forced inoculations coming next year will actually maim and kill a lot of people because Bill Gates knows he can't hide it.
	That's why Trump is taking control of the process saying he's going to have an early vaccine from a company that doesn't make one that is so dangerous or that doesn't change our DNA. And I'm not even endorsing what Trump's doing, but I understand what he's doing.
	And I'm not even endorsing what Trump's doing.
	And I'm not even endorsing what Trump's doing.
	Gates goes, trust my vaccine, but don't trust the CDC's vaccine.
	And then I went and looked up the ones that Trump's looking at.
	They're very weak, attenuated, classic viruses with a very low amount of adjuvant in it.
	Total liar. And what is adjuvant?
	It makes your body have an autoimmune response.
	Because a lot of times if a vaccine's weak, which again doesn't hurt you as bad, you're not going to have the autoimmune response.
	You're not going to form antibodies. So they've got to give you...
	The squalene or the mercury or the aluminum to trigger that.
	And so, yeah, Trump's looking at basically sugar water for folks.
	Can we take a little bit of an attenuated, microwaved or radiated COVID deal?
	Absolutely. COVID's already everywhere anyways.
	Trump's looking at basically sugar water for folks.
	Can we take a little bit of an attenuated, microwaved or radiated?
	And of course, there's nothing attenuated.
	And it never stops because it's not a weakened virus.
	It's not a pathogen.
	It's not irradiated.
	It's a genetic code that's injected into people.
	He knew that as well as you did.
	And of course, you know, he later said it was bad.
	That's what I hear from people. Well, A.J. said it was bad.
	Well, you know, Fauci was against the masks before he was for the masks, and then he was for multiple masks and all the rest of the stuff, and then eventually he said, well, no, it didn't work.
	So Fauci's flip-flopped all over the place.
	Why do conservatives Hector Fauci for flip-flopping, but not Alex Jones when he tells you Trump's got this?
	It's just sugar water.
	So, COVID vaccination is independently associated with long COVID symptoms.
	This is from the Epoch Times.
	I said this for the longest time.
	I said, look, this is another one of these things.
	Talk about holiday heart syndrome.
	Oh, well, these symptoms that you're having from the vaccine is not from the vaccine.
	It's from something we'll name long COVID. Anything to explain away the Trump shot.
	We can call it sugar water.
	We can call it long COVID. We can call it, well, people are dying from endocarditis.
	It's not from the Trump shot.
	It's not from a genetic code injection.
	Maybe it's the gas from your garden or something, right?
	Anything. Anything other than telling people the truth.
	Long-term brain issues now, they say.
	Well, they thought that they could tie this to COVID. And then they did a study.
	And they found that they couldn't tie it to COVID. You know what it's tied to?
	They say it's tied to people who are hospitalized.
	But rather than blaming the hospitals, which are just giving people sugar water, instead of blaming the hospitals, they say, well, it's the severity of the disease.
	So if you're really, really sick and you've got to go to the hospital, that's why you're having these long-term brain issues.
	Why didn't it show up before?
	Why is this a new thing? Because of new hospital protocols.
	Who paid for the new hospital protocols?
	Trump. Who designed them?
	Fauci. A new study reports that brain function can be impaired for 18 months after a person is recovered from COVID-19, especially if the individual is hospitalized.
	However, COVID-induced cognitive impairment is no more severe than impairment due to other diseases causing hospitalization.
	And so the question is, Why do they make this about COVID? Well, somebody can easily get funding if they want to find another thing to scare people about COVID. Oh, you could have long-term brain issues with this.
	Well, the common thread is being hospitalized.
	That's the common thread.
	But even in this study, they make an excuse for the hospitals.
	They say, well, it's not the fact that you went to the hospital.
	It's the fact that you were sick enough that you had to go to the hospital.
	The prospective cohort study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, those people that you trust, right, suggests that the brain health of COVID-19 patients who were ill enough to go to the hospital suffered long-lasting neurological damage.
	That included new psychiatric diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep issues.
	Can't make it about COVID. Can't make it about the hospitals either because it is about disease severity.
	Not the type of disease.
	Irrelevant. Whether it's diagnosed as COVID or flu or any other type of disease.
	It's just going to the hospital.
	But we can't say it's the hospital.
	It's got to be the disease severity.
	The disease severity.
	Couldn't be the mass cutting off your oxygen either, could it?
	And then, just to underscore this, Children's Health Defense.
	Another account of a family who had a family member murdered by the hospital death protocol.
	By the way, that's kind of still a raw point to say that the hospitals were murdering people.
	And I will continue to say that.
	And I made that headline of that...
	It was the beginning of December.
	I talked about some of the data coming out of New Zealand.
	And I said, you know, I use murder in the headline.
	So they were murdering people.
	They were. They knew and gave exemptions to politicians and to medical people to not get the vaccine.
	But they knew they were murdering people.
	But I put that there.
	And what I did... The people that host the podcast and have hosted it for years and are paid to host it completely shut it off.
	Completely shut off. It wasn't published.
	And I didn't realize it until Sunday.
	We were contacted by a listener who said that.
	And we started the process on Sunday to get restored.
	They restored it by Monday.
	But it was off, completely off for two days.
	And that's not a good thing.
	You know, it's like people like, well, I guess, you know, it's gone now or whatever.
	And of course, it costs us money.
	And as I was looking during the break, I was looking at some stats and it's like, wow, December is down 50% from last year in terms of downloads in the podcast.
	What am I doing? You know, is it my criticism of Trump?
	Is it, you know, people angry at me because I won't pick a side in an Israeli-Gaza thing?
	I just, my side is peace.
	I want to see peace there.
	Is that what it is?
	And then I looked. And when they shut it down, and then it got restored, they didn't restore it.
	The only place that it was pushed out was to one podcast provider.
	All the rest of them were turned off.
	And I had to go back in and turn them on manually.
	This is what they do when you call them out on this stuff.
	And so, they're murderers.
	They're murderers. I'm not going to mince words about it.
	They murdered people.
	And this is what this widow says.
	They euthanized my husband.
	And we've had a listener here talking about how they killed her husband for the hospital protocols and the drugs and the injections.
	I've had on...
	The father of Grace Scherrer, Scott Scherrer.
	Our amazing Grace, where he's fighting this, and he's going to have a trial next year.
	Where they're going to look at not medical malpractice, but essentially malicious murder, assault.
	And the judge has approved for that, because that's what it is.
	Giving people these do not resuscitate orders.
	This guy, John Springer, 59, had no known health issues.
	After being transferred from his local hospital in Kansas to a medical center in Oklahoma, the doctors, without his consent, without the consent of his family, treated him with remdesivir, with fentanyl, and with morphine, and put him on a ventilator where he spent the final 17 days of his life.
	Very similar to the story of what they did to Grace.
	Just murder. They're murderers.
	A 59-year-old truck driver.
	His wife of 31 years and their seven children now left alone.
	He was an amazing husband, an amazing father, she said.
	He worked hard six days a week.
	Took very good care of his family.
	He was honest, hardworking, taxpaying American guy.
	He had so much faith in God.
	That was important to him and to all of us.
	And so the hospital was paid handsomely to do this kind of stuff.
	Who paid them? Trump.
	Trump paid them. Trump gave them a bonus.
	Trump gave them a 20% bonus.
	If you can identify this person as having COVID, you can put them on a ventilator.
	I'll give you $39,000 if you do that, $13,000 if you identify them.
	Then you can add 20% surcharge to everything you do to them before you kill them.
	Trump did that. The buck stops with him.
	He's responsible for it.
	And he signed the checks, folks.
	He's a murderer. Why are people supporting this murderer?
	Why do they look to him as if he's God Almighty?
	Never get over this.
	I tell you, this country is set up for judgment.
	If ever there was a case.
	So, back in L.A., pandemic forever.
	They're reinstating the healthcare facility mask mandates as they are in all these different left-weening places, Illinois and other, you know, Fauci.
	It's like... It's like the daisy, you know?
	He masked me, he masked me not.
	He masked me, he masked me not.
	Where are we with this? Well, we don't know what he's going to do now.
	You know, just pick a number.
	Do it, you know? 200-plus military members, former military members, are demanding justice over these COVID jab mandates.
	And again, you look at this, Trump is never mentioned.
	He created the poison.
	He put it out there. And as Jason Barker pointed out, he was going to mandate it with the military as well, but you'd never know that to look at any of these articles.
	And then when you look at so many of the mandates outside of the government, how did Biden mandate it?
	He mandated it by using financial coercion, bribery, and then blackmail.
	Blackmail and bribery. Blackmail and bribery.
	That's how the federal government gets past the 10th Amendment all the time.
	I'll give you money. You like that check?
	Well, I'm going to take that check away if you don't do what I say.
	You're a hospital, right?
	Hospitals could do anything they wanted.
	They've been paid to kill people.
	They had the 20% bonuses and the rest of the stuff.
	Well, not only am I going to take that away, but I'm not going to let you make any Medicare billing at all.
	All Medicare, Medicaid will go away.
	Unless you get all your nurses and doctors and everybody at the hospital jabbed.
	Trump would have done that.
	He already was going to do the military mandates were already there.
	In Canada, Danielle Smith, who is the premier of Alberta, she's spoken against a lot of this stuff, but you had a reporter who badgered her over her vaccination status, and I thought...
	The headline from LifeSite is, Danielle Smith refuses to let reporter badger her into disclosing her COVID vaccine status.
	Why? Wouldn't she be proud of that if she was un-vaxxed?
	So, again, what is the situation with that?
	It's kind of strange. We have to, again...
	We have to tell the truth, you know, and so many of these people who have been vaccinated and who push vaccination when it was happening, you know, Ben Shapiro pushed vaccination.
	He came back and said, well, you know, I had to do over.
	I think he said if I had to do over, I wouldn't do it again.
	I know Dan Bongino said he wasn't going to get it, and then he went quiet about it.
	Then later on, he said he really regretted getting it.
	But Danielle Smith won't say anything about it.
	I think it's imperative for people to own it and to say, look, I was deceived.
	Don't let this happen. People have to speak out about this stuff.
	We've got to stop it.
	She said, I think the private medical decision should be kept private.
	I think that's the reason that we have doctors giving the advice, she said.
	Well, I think it's important for her to use the bully pulpit to tell people.
	What we all know. How harmful it is.
	By the way, repeat influence of vaccination is linked to a higher risk of infection.
	And this is now being admitted by the CDC. We told people this for years.
	We told people higher risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
	I've known people who got Guillain-Barre syndrome after getting a flu shot.
	But then again, all the autism stuff, we talked about that for years.
	And yet... Alex would come out knowing all of that and saying, this is just going to be sugar water.
	Just amazing.
	Scientists are warning that a new COVID variant could cause global heart failure pandemic.
	See? The holiday heart thing.
	Endocarditis. Maybe you're gardening.
	We don't know what it is.
	Now we have to screen kids in school.
	School kids have got to be screened with a cardiac test before they can participate in sports.
	No. We don't have to ask why that is now suddenly happening.
	And now... We have a new variant, they say.
	So it's not just the holiday heart or the endocarditis or this or that.
	Now they've got yet another.
	They are inventing these things so rapidly because everybody is on to this game.
	And yet they still don't know who pulled it on them.
	The conservatives don't.
	And so what they're saying is they've got a new variant.
	They call it the JN.1.
	Almost sounds like the January 1 variant, right?
	Could trigger a global heart failure pandemic.
	Yeah. Now, what we're seeing here is multiple variants of narrative.
	As the narrative is evolving, not a virus, the narrative evolves.
	And we have variant explanations, all of which are lies.
	Well, before we run out of time, I wanted to get into the financial issues as the new year begins.
	And just to say this, I was very distressed to see this bit of news.
	Breitbart did an interview with Scott Adams, the cartoonist of Dilbert, who said that 2024, quote, will be surprising on the upside.
	That is the scariest thing I've seen about this coming new year, because if you know anything about Scott Adams, you know that he is as accurate as Jim Cramer is on investment picks.
	When Jim Cramer picks a stock, you want to get exactly the opposite.
	And when Scott Adams tells you something about what is going to happen, you want to look at just the opposite.
	So he's a very reliable contraindicator.
	So when he's calling for 2024 to be on the upside, it scares me.
	He was the same guy who said in the first week of April 2020, these liberty lovers are, it's difficult to distinguish the liberty lovers from sociopaths.
	And I replied to him, and I said, it's difficult to see, to distinguish the pragmatists from totalitarians at this point.
	He said, I know it feels like everything is coming apart.
	It feels like the wheels have completely come off the country, and it's just going to crumble any moment.
	But that's a fake feeling, says Scott.
	He says, I said that everything from loneliness to climate change will be solved through innovation.
	No. No.
	Innovation. Yeah, we can just finesse our way out of this.
	We can use technology to get out of this.
	And then as everybody's looking at this, we've been told now that, you know, all of a sudden, inflation and the recession have just gone away.
	Well, they haven't.
	They've been explained away.
	It's another variant of lies.
	Because this is an election year.
	You know, the same people, Janet Yellen, all the rest of these people were saying that we're going to go into a recession, and now they're saying, well, yeah, we've got this.
	We've got it. It's taken care of.
	All that stuff about the recession is just sugar water.
	It's okay. It's just...
	We're just kind of pulling your leg there at the Federal Reserve.
	But the reality is that the share of the dollar in global reserves is nosediving.
	It was 70%...
	Of what the IMF looks at in terms of global reserves, the U.S. dollar was 70% in 2000.
	And here we are, 23 years later, it has dropped to 59%.
	But it's only going to get worse.
	Meanwhile, Reuters is running articles talking about how gold is hitting a new high in 2024.
	Again, whether we're going into, I don't look at gold as an investment.
	I look at it as a play against central bank digital currency and against things like debanking, you know, a corporate war on the unwoke, a long article that we don't have time to get into.
	But the fact is that they are, in the UK, they're banning people from going to sporting events if they don't like your social media content.
	And they're doing that because they've got biometric identification to identify you.
	This is why I look at gold.
	And again, Tony Arterbin, who helped last week with the hosting, has set up davidknight.gold.
	I'll take you to wisewolf.gold.
	That's what I'm concerned about as we come into this fourth turning.
	How do you...
	Get out of their web, get out of their net, out of their virtual reality, their smart cities, their biometric stuff.
	You have to have something that is physical.
	You have to have something that's private.
	And that's why I focus on the goals.
	It's not about an investment.
	It's about, except it's an investment in your privacy.
	It's an investment in your anonymity.
	And it is a pushback against what these people are trying to do.
	Again, in The Daily Skeptic, Toby Young, who runs it, he said, We've seen the debanking that has famously happened to people like Nigel Farage, and to him.
	He got kicked off of PayPal this last year.
	I was kicked off in 2021.
	But he said, one recent case involved a man threatened with suspension from British cycling because he objected to a racially segregated event.
	So now segregation is something that's for, again, they just, whatever they want to do.
	One person was denied life-saving operation after she complained about a transgender nurse and asked that only female nurses would be involved in her intimate care.
	This is the way this is going ahead.
	And this is their total control surveillance.
	It's what you need to be thinking about as we come into this fourth turning point.
	Thank you for listening, and hopefully it'll be a peaceful new year.
	The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
	If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it.
	Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther.
	People have to trust me.
	I mean, trust the science.
	Wear your mask.
	Take your vaccine.
	Don't ask questions.
	Using free speech to free minds.
