	the world.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 15th of January, Year of Our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're getting hit with a snowstorm, as much of the country is, and we'll be talking about what is happening in Iowa, as well as the climate in Davos.
	But we're going to begin by talking about our food.
	That's perhaps the most pressing element that they're trying to remove from us at Davos.
	We've always talked about the wonders of a land that is filled with milk and honey.
	Well, now they are coming up with synthetic honey and synthetic milk that is animal-free.
	But it's got a lot of other stuff in it.
	And then, of course, at the border, we have the disunited states of Babel that they're currently watching and trying to enforce.
	So, stay with us.
	We're going to be right back. We're going to begin with food.
	Food. Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful.
	And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
	Yeah, we're going to be able to do the show the rest of the week.
	I'm not quite so sure. Karen is very concerned that we're going to lose power.
	She's been looking at the posting of people who have been through some storms in the not-so-distant past.
	I said, don't worry.
	They don't know what's happening with the weather, not even a couple of days in advance.
	And so she sent me a...
	A clip, or rather a screenshot she did.
	And it was a weather service, and they said, expect snowstorms anywhere from zero to 85 inches.
	I said, well, they pretty much got themselves covered.
	I mean, it may not even snow, or you might get 85 inches of snow.
	I don't think that's going to happen either way.
	But they've already gone past the zero inches here.
	Of course, the thing that I'm most concerned about are wind issues because if it knocks down the trees, then we lose power and internet.
	But we're okay right now as long as it's just snow here.
	But let's talk about the snow job that they're trying to pull on us in terms of food.
	Genetically modified synthetic milk is supposed to hit the stores in 2024.
	I'm so glad that we've got a local dairy.
	I hope they stay in business.
	Go there to get non-homogenized milk.
	They're able to sell it without all the club nonsense and all the restrictions on raw milk, which is total nonsense.
	But to get around those restrictions, they still pasteurize it, which means that you take away some of the good probiotics.
	But they don't homogenize it, which means that it's not as bad for you as the suspended stuff that is really bad for you with the homogenization.
	And it's interesting because they don't cheat on the cream.
	I've talked to many people about raw milk, and as I pointed out, one of the reasons that they started doing homogenization was so they could give you milk that had less cream.
	And you put this next to a gallon of milk from the store, and you can see the cream color versus the white color.
	Anyway, so what are they working on?
	Well, it's not milk, says the editor of Technocracy, but they claim that it is, quote, identical to what cows make.
	They would be lying, and we'll talk about what is different.
	They say, well, then it's, later they say, it's substantially equivalent.
	It kind of reminds me of the Corminati, Pfizer, BioNTech, you know, they'll play all kinds of games with legal stuff.
	It's made from other GMO products as well.
	It's all marketing propaganda designed to deceive customers.
	And he says, and the FDA, no, I think the FDA is colluding with them.
	I think it's completely captured.
	So, the article put out by breathless mainstream press, inventing tomorrow these startups are creating quote-unquote real dairy without cow.
	And they put the real in quotes.
	They have to do that. But, of course, a lot of people don't really care about that caveat.
	No antibiotics, no hormones, just dairy, a new completely lactose-free dairy without the cows.
	Well, one person pushing back on this says the fake milk sold by a company called Bored Cow, B-O-R-E-D, It uses a whey protein they call microflora, or perma, or proform.
	It's made by their partner, Perfect Day, a consumer biology company, on a mission to create a kinder, greener tomorrow by developing new ways to make the foods that you love today, starting at the dairy aisle.
	That's a little marketing ploy.
	Also calling it animal-free milk.
	Supposedly cruelty-free.
	But when we go to the dairy locally to pick up the milk, it looks to me like those cows are pretty happy.
	They're not suffering any cruelty.
	Health Research Institute, a non-profit independent lab based in Fairfield, Iowa, and we'll get back to Iowa later, examined multiple samples of bored cows' original flavor milk.
	Using mass spectrometry to test the claim that the synthetic protein was contained the same as real milk protein.
	This is a guy, by the way, who used to work for the NIH, and he got out of it.
	Don't disregard what he has to say for that.
	I knew a guy who worked for over 30 years for the EPA. He got in at the beginning when it was about pollution.
	And he was thoroughly disgusted with it, and he got out and he opposed them.
	He said, this is about removing energy from us, and removing cars and everything else.
	He said, this is not about cleaning up pollution anymore.
	And this guy who used to work for the NIH, now the chief scientist at this place that is doing the mass spectrometry, their testing revealed 92 unknown molecules and a fungicide.
	In the synthetic milk.
	Used by more than a dozen food brands sold in common grocery stores already.
	This is a stew, they say.
	Starting with sunflower oil.
	Very inflammatory seed oil.
	That is typically genetically modified as well.
	The label does not specify whether the whey protein was produced through genetic engineering of yeast.
	And the main input for the fermentation is sugar, but they're not using sugar.
	They're using fructose, corn syrup, most likely from GMO corn as well.
	Aside from the host of unknown compounds, synthetic milk...
	Like many important micronutrients found in natural milk, such as omega-3 fatty acid, vitamin E, and some B vitamins, additionally, forms of carnitine that are, quote, really important for energy metabolism, unquote, were either missing or present in only trace amounts in what they call their syn-bio product, synthetic biology.
	There were 69 important nutrients present in natural milk, most of which were completely absent in senbiomilk.
	A few were present in smaller trace amounts, said the scientist.
	John Fagan, who is the CEO of this company, used to work for the NIH, as I said.
	The 92 unknown molecules we found have never been studied by scientists.
	So, we don't know whether they're safe or dangerous.
	We don't know whether they're nutrients or toxins.
	Get your warp speed milk.
	Because we're not going to test it, right?
	This is what the FDA does now.
	Trump said, oh, I got them really angry with me.
	No, you didn't. They're more than happy to do whatever the big companies want to do.
	So I think the reason this fungicide is present is because they added it to the fermentation process to inhibit the growth of fungi that would contaminate the production system.
	So the things that we see here are not really good for us.
	Let me put it that way. Yet again, what you see here is additives that are put in.
	And we see this over and over again.
	Really strange additives that they put in your food that's processed in the big corporate factories.
	A lot of times they'll put stuff in there to make the substances go through the machines and not jam them up or whatever.
	So, you know, you're basically eating oil, motor oil or whatever it is to something to make it foam up so they can process it better.
	And so, so many of these additives, you look at them and you shake your head and you say, what's that about?
	Well, it's for appearance or it's for preservation because, you know, the bugs won't eat this stuff.
	Only you will eat it. Or it's so that they can make things work better in the manufacturing process.
	It's for the benefit of the machines.
	But not for you. Claiming that the proteins are molecularly identical to those produced by cows is a lie.
	Synthetic milk has never before been consumed by humans.
	It has not undergone any safety testing by the US FDA. Again.
	It's warp speed milk.
	I guess that'd be the new label.
	You know, we got GMO labels and had things like, you know, free-range chickens and all this other kind of stuff.
	Maybe we just need to put warp speed labels on stuff to indicate that it hasn't been tested.
	We just skip the testing because, you know, the corporations want it and the government wants it.
	92 substances in this.
	They don't know what they are.
	They've never been tested.
	We don't know if their nutrients are toxic, right?
	But just go ahead and approve it.
	Perfect Day's website doesn't even use the term GMO. This is how they hide this stuff.
	Remember, they were saying that, you know, to reprogram your body, we're going to use mRNA, we're going to make your body manufacture our vaccines.
	Oh, well, then you're hijacking my body somehow.
	And how do I turn that off?
	And all these other questions that were there.
	And then they came out and said, no, no, no, none of that is true.
	We're not really modifying your body at all.
	Well, you're modifying my body to turn it into a factory, aren't you?
	So they don't use the word GMO in their synthetic milk.
	Instead, they describe how they teach microflora to create sustainable protein.
	They teach microflora.
	You know, what kind of a school is that?
	Some call this doublespeak.
	Microflora is a nice term for GMO yeast.
	SynBio is short for synthetic biology, a method that uses genetic engineering to modify microorganisms like yeast, algae, bacteria, to produce novel products that our government that is so concerned about our health and safety that it will lock us down and destroy our lives in 2020 doesn't even want to bother to look at the food or the drugs that they demand that we have.
	I'm sure it is going to be sold as climate-friendly.
	And then we have Vegan Honey, made without bees, set to launch in 75,000 stores in Europe, but it's also going to be in the U.S. The company is based in California.
	It's called Melabio.
	They're developing Honey Without Bees, rolling out their first products in partnership with a Slovenian food maker in the UK, Switzerland, and Austria.
	And the first part of a $10 million four-year deal to reach 75,000 stores across Europe.
	Well, there you go. We got milk without cows.
	We got honey without bees.
	Maybe they can get to their planned society of a world without humans, you think?
	Quite frankly, I prefer the vegan honey to the vegan honey.
	But, you know, they've got to kill all the bees.
	Maybe just bring in some more pesticides and other things like that.
	Maybe the bees.
	Do the bees emit carbon dioxide?
	Well, of course they do.
	You know, they breathe very rapidly.
	And even though they're really small, there's lots and lots of them.
	So we've got to get rid of them too.
	You know, not just the cows.
	So, you know, they're out there spreading that CO2 all around.
	And the plant-based bee-free sweetener is sold under Aldi's brand called JustVeg.
	JustVeg. So you can already get it in Aldi's, at least in Europe.
	In the U.S., where MelBio has launched its own brand, Melibio, they call it Melodye.
	For food services, see, if you're getting those food services, you don't really know what you're eating.
	And for direct-to-consumer channels, a product is described as a plant-based honey, has a slightly different formulation.
	The first versions, they said, of our products are 100% plant-based, inspired by light clover honey and acacia honey.
	Inspired by it.
	Inspired by it. You know, God inspired them when he created those things, but they're not going to use what God created.
	So we're working on proprietary precision fermentation technology that more closely resembles the enzymatic process that bees use to convert nectar into honey.
	So again, we've got bees.
	We've got cows.
	What do we need these labs and billionaires for, right?
	Yeah. I prefer God's bees and cows to the billionaire's synthetic food.
	The plant-based formulation contains 80% fructose and 18% water.
	There you go. It's sugar water.
	Wait a minute. Was that what Alex Jones was talking about?
	It's just like sugar water, right?
	Yeah, it is. The mRNA vaccine is just like this food.
	Totally untested.
	But in this particular case, what they are selling you is literally sugar water.
	Except it's not really sugar water.
	It's fructose water. It gets its distinct flavor.
	So that's 98% of the ingredients, right?
	80% fructose.
	18% water.
	That's 98%. What's the other 2%?
	Flavorings. They put stuff like red clover and jasmine and chamomile and seaberry and stuff like that.
	And so, in the U.S., it's going to be marketed as, quote, plant-based honey.
	Plant-based instead of bee-based.
	It'll have no federal standard of identity for honey.
	Because we don't have that in the rules from the FDA. They don't define what honey is.
	But here's the closest definition that they have.
	They have non-binding guidance.
	Non-binding guidance of a description of what honey is.
	But you can call it honey and it doesn't have to fit their description of honey.
	Their description of honey... It's a thick, sweet, syrupy substance that bees make as food from the nectar of plants or secretions of living parts of plants.
	But of course, you don't have to.
	It's just guidance. Just kind of to help you know what honey is, but they won't punish people for calling it honey if it's not.
	So why make honey without bees in the first place?
	Well, the company that's doing it Says, demand for honey is rising and honeybee populations are declining.
	And why? Well, we know it's pesticides, but they say it's climate change.
	Climate change. So there you go.
	The answer to all of this is for you to have less and have more taken away from you.
	There will always be demand for honey made by bees, but I predict, he says, that 10 years from now...
	It will be an expensive artisanal gift only for special occasions that people might be paying $100 per jar for honey at the farmer's market.
	There you go. You can tell these people who live in the smart cities if you can get to them or they can get to you.
	You set up your ability to do beehives and honey.
	You got an income stream in the future maybe.
	While the majority of the market will be supplied by companies like ours, beekeeping has also become more and more difficult.
	In countries such as Serbia, the average age of a beekeeper is 58, and new generations are not taking over.
	So, like so many other things, we're losing the ability to be self-sustaining.
	Every generation is rapidly losing, whether it is the ability to play an instrument, or whether it's the ability to grow food, or to do beekeeping.
	We're losing all of that, and we're becoming completely dependent on them.
	We're becoming the Eloy that you had H.G. Wells talk about in The Time Machine.
	And these people are the Moorlocks.
	We got here with less than $10 million in seed funding.
	So he said, I think this is going to go everywhere.
	Got to this point where we're going to do, you know, 75 different store chains all over Europe.
	Meanwhile, bees are susceptible to climate change, they said, and habitat loss.
	So yeah, it all comes back around to the climate MacGuffin.
	And I guess we could say that's all part of the sting.
	Well, when we look at synthetic food...
	Everything is becoming synthetic, including all of our music and our politicians.
	They're very worried about AI ads, but they're also worried about AI entertainers.
	And we've got Elvis as a hologram that's going to be restored and performing live, so to speak, I guess, as holograms are said to be performing.
	And so in Tennessee, they have come up with a bill that To protect this kind of AI copycat and impersonation.
	And they call it the Elvis Act.
	Legislators do. They usually come up with some kind of a ridiculous acronym.
	Elvis stands for Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security.
	There we go. Elvis. Current Tennessee law protects the name, the image, and the likeness rights of Tennessee's musicians, but as AI becomes more prevalent, the state is trying to protect those musicians from computer-generated violations of their rights.
	And, of course, we just saw a computer-generated ad for Trump with Paul Harvey's voice sounded very much like him, worshiping Trump as the savior of the world, or at least the U.S., You know, God created Trump.
	It sounded just like Paul Harvey.
	And I've played for you this in the past.
	Somebody did an AI voice of Johnny Cash singing a Taylor Swift song.
	Hello, I'm not Johnny Cash.
	So it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames.
	You can tell me when it's over, if the high was worth the pain.
	Got a long list of ex-lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane.
	Cause you know I love the players, and you love the game.
	Okay, so it's too bad they didn't have fake Johnny Cash singing a better song, but that's a Taylor Swift song.
	So it's not just the entertainers.
	It's not just the milk and the honey.
	It's land that used to be, land of milk and honey.
	It is also concern about politicians.
	This article from The New American is a fake AI-born Trump photo, a taste of 2024 election deceit to come.
	And what they're concerned about was that photo that was put out by Mark Ruffalo.
	And it's just a picture of Trump in a suit and tie, sitting there with a bunch of young girls around him.
	And he says, oh, this is a picture of Trump on his way to Epstein's Island, or maybe it was supposed to be him at the island or something.
	But again, that wasn't anything that you couldn't do with Photoshop.
	That's no big deal. I find it kind of interesting that all the MAGA cult would get their noses bent out of shape when it's Trump doing all kinds of hero phony pictures of himself selling them as NFTs and making millions of dollars.
	Quite frankly, you don't need the picture of Trump in a tie, smiling with a bunch of, you know, not provided.
	I don't remember the picture, but there wasn't anything about the girls that was anything at all.
	Sexual, they're just kind of standing there.
	To me, that's far less damaging than the picture of Melania and Trump with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
	I mean, the look that Melania is giving him.
	And, of course, he introduced them together.
	She was one of his girls.
	So, to me, the reality is far more damaging than that.
	But people got very upset with Mark Ruffalo, posted two photos to Twitter of Trump on a plane surrounded by a group of young girls claiming they were all headed to Epstein's Fantasy Island.
	He later apologized after the post was flagged with additional content from readers who said it was AI-generated.
	Could have been done with Photoshop.
	And again, Trump made millions of dollars off those NFTs.
	He even did a second wave of them, the mugshot edition.
	Made millions with mugshots.
	But the vocal thing with Johnny Cash was unique.
	That's beyond Photoshop.
	And beyond this picture that everybody is upset about, take a look at this short little video here of Anderson Cooper.
	Imitated by AI. And it's not just the voice.
	If you're watching this, if you're listening to the podcast, I'll tell you that it's also all of his mannerisms and the way he speaks and everything else.
	It's a visual as well as audio.
	Here is a... Well, I hesitate to say Anderson Cooper fake because...
	A fake, fake Anderson Cooper.
	Double fake Anderson Cooper.
	Second youngest son. He's suggesting it came out of nowhere.
	What we subsequently learned is it may have come from the former president or his legal team acting in bad faith.
	This is a deepfake example of what is possible with powerful computer and editing.
	It took around 72 hours to create this example from scratch using extremely powerful GPU. It could be improved with more computing time, but 90% of people cannot tell the difference.
	Yeah, 90% of people can't tell the difference.
	Well, this is...
	They're making everything fake because they want to take everything down.
	And one of the easiest ways to do that is with the open borders, with language and other things.
	The Bible doesn't break people into different people groups based on the color of their skin, which is what we do all the time.
	It talks about nations, tongues, and tribes.
	And Michael Savage said, well, borders...
	I think he's right.
	I mean, I don't know if he got that from the Bible, but the Bible has always talked about nations, tongues, and tribes.
	It talks about different people groups.
	It doesn't talk about skin color.
	And so when we look at a bill in the Tennessee House, it would require all driver's license tests to be administered in English.
	To me, that just seems like common sense.
	You have to have a common language in order to be able to have a nation, in order to have a culture.
	Everybody needs to be of the same tongue.
	According to a group called Pro-English, which bills itself as the nation's leading English language advocates, there's only two states that offer driver's license tests in English only.
	Isn't that amazing? Those states are Wyoming and South Dakota.
	California is a state that offers its driver's license exams in the most languages.
	It has 32 different language options available.
	Massachusetts is second.
	It offers its driver's license exams in 26 different languages.
	And so, as I point out, in a lot of these places, they're even putting in multiple on the signs.
	They put the signs there in multiple languages.
	Well, the problem with that...
	Is that you're going to get smaller and smaller text, given a particular sign size, and of course you have limitations on the size of the signs, or they're going to start obstructing stuff that is out there.
	You're going to have a sign with 26 languages.
	How's that going to be easy to read when you're driving?
	And even for the people who, you know, let's say speak Mandarin, which is spoken by a lot of people in the world, but not a lot of people in the United States.
	So you put Mandarin on there.
	Well, they're going to go down and try to find that.
	Smaller text is going to be harder to read for people.
	You need to be able to read it quickly as a driver.
	Near the southern border, they said the second language that they put on signs is Spanish.
	Northern border, they put a second language of French frequently.
	More recently, there's been a push to include Native American language translation on some street signs.
	So, you know, there you go.
	Navajo Indians, the code talkers.
	Let's put that on there. So we can virtue signal to everybody about how great we are.
	In Connecticut, Massachusetts, Iowa, New York, Minnesota, Wisconsin, they're talking about putting Native American language on there.
	Well, I don't know. I think Native American language.
	I think kind of King James English people who came here.
	No, they're trying to seek to divide us.
	And this is another example of DEI, diversity, equity, inclusivity, turning into D-I-E, killing people in situations where they need to be able to process the information quickly and succinctly, and creating a tower of babble to divide us.
	A good example of this, not just in cars, but it's essentially the same thing, look at air traffic control.
	You realize, of course, that in all countries of the world, I mean, if you go to China, for example, where everybody is speaking Mandarin or Cantonese or something, all of the air traffic control and all of the pilots have to speak English.
	Why is that?
	How politically incorrect is that?
	Well, you know, we could make everybody, you know, determine that the pilots can't operate unless they can speak in the native language of the country that they're flying into.
	The French would love that.
	They really hate the fact that English has become so dominant.
	But you do it from a practical standpoint because you don't want to kill people with DEI. And yet, Booty Gay is doing just that.
	Booty Gay's new DEI... And D.I.E., Secretary of Transportation, he's decided that the FDA, I'm sorry, not the FDA, this is the FAA, another alphabet agency, is going to be hiring people who have, quote, severe intellectual or psychiatric disabilities.
	Well, you know, you've got severe intellectual disability or severe psychiatric disability.
	Putting them in as air traffic controllers.
	Our government is really crazy stupid, isn't it?
	And this is the proof. Booty Gay and his FAA is a proof of how crazy stupid our government is.
	Well, Fox News has canceled MyPillow ads.
	This is an example of how crazy stupid right-wing media is.
	Because you see this as I go through, and I look at a lot of different news sources.
	I look at conservative news sources, and it's creating more and more heartburn for me as I go through this.
	It's like, they'd be this stupid.
	I look at mainstream media and all the rest of this stuff.
	Yes, I do that for you.
	Anyway, so conservative media is taking the line that Fox canceled MyPillow ads and no reason was given.
	Well, that's simply not true.
	And we know that's not true.
	There were a whole bunch of news articles the end of last summer where Mike Lindell was talking about the fact that, you know, he might go bankrupt.
	And he couldn't pay his lawyers.
	You know, he's got these billion-dollar legal fees against him.
	And look, without getting into all of the legal issues and everything, what he's doing is he's essentially...
	Put everything that he's got behind Trump and behind the idea of a stolen election.
	And even when he had a public event and he said, I'm bringing the receipts this time.
	And I remember that very clearly.
	Does the conservative press not remember that?
	I remember I played the clip for you.
	Steve Bannon covered it.
	He goes, alright, this is it.
	He's spent all this money.
	He's bet the farm on all of this stuff, and he's got the documents and the receipts, and we're going to see this stuff.
	And after this went on for like 30 or 40 minutes, he goes, we've seen all of this.
	He doesn't have anything.
	And he broke away.
	And that's the truth. That's what this whole election scam has been.
	Nothing. Nothing.
	No receipts. No receipts.
	And it's one thing to show somebody cheating.
	Yeah, we know that people cheat in various places, right?
	Always has been there. And as I said, and we've talked about a great deal last week, you know, we had Dr.
	Shiva Ayyadurai who's having to go through the ballot access stuff.
	The cheating begins with who gets on the ballot.
	Now, people can see that with Trump.
	But they don't care about it for anybody else, and they're not going to fix it for anybody else, and they're not going to admit that it's the Republican Party that's been just as guilty of doing that as the Democrats.
	What is different now is that the Democrats are banning the Republicans.
	They used to work together. They seemed like they had this agreement amongst thieves.
	Except there is no honor among thieves.
	And so now the Democrats are stealing from the Republicans.
	Well, the Democrats and Republicans used to always steal the elections from you together.
	Determine who's going to get on the ballot.
	Determine who's going to get into the debates.
	When the League of Women Voters started including people who were on the ballot, they said, we can't do that.
	We'll create our own debate committee.
	We'll call it a private organization.
	It'll be funded by the Democrats and Republicans, and they'll decide who gets into the debates.
	And how dare you Tell a private organization what they can and cannot do.
	And that was the same argument recycled for social media.
	I'd seen it 20 years before.
	Used against me then when I was trying to get a third-party candidate in a debate.
	And then they used it against me to purge me off of social media.
	And it's like, I know where this is coming from.
	It's coming from the government.
	It's coming from the different political parties.
	So, what Mike Lindell said, he's not being exactly honest, but these people in the conservative press just take him at his word.
	He said, Fox News has canceled my pillow and I don't have the reasons why yet.
	And then he said, well, maybe it's because I support Trump.
	He said, they know my brand is branded right with our great real president, Donald Trump.
	Well, again, they were going to commit suicide upon this cult leader.
	You're going to drink the Trump Kool-Aid and inject the Trump Kool-Aid.
	Except they don't inject the Trump Kool-Aid.
	They think it kills people, but they like the guy who's the father of the Kool-Aid.
	But you can always use Trump as an excuse for failure.
	You see, Fox has cut him off for the same reason that Fox has now turned...
	Turn to a Trump supporter.
	We talked about this last week.
	They're not kicking Mike Lindell off because he supports Trump.
	Fox now supports Trump.
	Just like Alex.
	He hated Trump.
	Trump's got to go.
	I love DeSantis. Now I'm back on with Trump.
	Now I love Rama Swami.
	Now I'm back on with Trump and that type of thing.
	So it's the money.
	It's the money. The money is why Fox News supports Trump.
	And the money that they're not being paid is why they kicked Mike Lindell to the curb.
	As other people pointed out, it was back in the summer that he was unable to pay his bills facing these massive lawsuits.
	And again, I'm not supporting the lawsuits against him.
	I'm just saying that he's decided that he is going to go down with Trump.
	And Trump isn't going to give him a hand.
	Trump won't give him a penny.
	Lindell also confessed that American Express had reduced his company's credit line to $100,000, and other banks refused to give any money at all to him.
	So he says, I can't pay my lawyers.
	That was months ago.
	And so Fox News is saying, well, he hasn't paid us for several months for the ads, so we're going to stop running the ads.
	But they make it into, look at this, everybody, including Fox News, is against the MAGA people.
	I feel sorry for Mike Lindell.
	I mean, he needs to wake up.
	He needs to understand what is going on.
	By the way, we had an insurrection at the White House over the weekend, but the mainstream media doesn't really seem to care.
	And it was a huge insurrection.
	It was bigger than January the 6th.
	The White House was forced to relocate staffers.
	They had to get out of there, just like Congress said we've got to get out of the Capitol building on January the 6th.
	Secret Service said after pro-Palestine demonstrators threw objects at law enforcement, damaged security fencing around the presidential residence.
	But then you'll see later on in the same articles, well, they didn't do any damage.
	Well, they damaged the fences.
	Videos from Saturday show demonstrators chanting, all walls will fall, as they shake the White House security fence while standing in Lafayette Park.
	Another video shows law enforcement holding the fence as demonstrators chant, F Joe Biden.
	Let's go, Brandon.
	I'm sure that's why they were probably singing, chanting, let's go, Brandon.
	So, organizers estimate.
	Listen to this. This is why I looked at it.
	The number of people, January 6th versus this.
	You know, when you look at January 6th, it's hard for me to find any estimates of the number of people that were there.
	Some news reports said, well, about 2,000 people went inside the Capitol that day.
	And Biden has already got warrants out for 1,200 of them.
	And even people that didn't go in.
	So maybe there's a lot more to come.
	Who knows? In this political persecution, that's what it is.
	But, you know, it just said thousands.
	Typically it said thousands. Associated Press said 10,000.
	There were some estimate numbers that were higher that were before that, but they went with 10,000.
	It was probably more than 10,000 because you would estimate that they would underestimate that.
	And this particular crowd, they may have, in terms of the people on mainstream media, they may have overestimated this pro-Palestinian crowd.
	But nevertheless, they say the organizers estimated 400,000 people attended.
	Now, that's coming from the organizers, so they're going to overestimate that.
	But we're looking at 10,000 versus 400,000.
	Even if one, you know, the high number is overestimated and the low number is, as George W. Bush would say, misunderstood.
	That's become a part of my vocabulary.
	I've got to catch myself every time.
	Even if they misunderstood me, the low numbers, and they way overestimated the high numbers, we're still talking about a 40 to 1 differential there.
	I haven't seen the videos of it.
	But, nevertheless, they don't seem to be concerned about this.
	The Democrats aren't. Well, a majority of today's demonstrators remain peaceful.
	See, there you go. Mostly peaceful, they said.
	Majority of them were mostly peaceful.
	There were instances of illegal and destructive behavior in Lafayette Park.
	Well, that's the same as January the 6th.
	Most people that were there were peaceful.
	Even some of the people that they want to put in jail for life.
	Elderly gentlemen.
	Two of them, in their late 70s, are looking at 6 to 10 years because they asked the police, is there a restroom around here?
	And the police are standing there with an open door.
	They said, yeah, come right around here, right in there.
	They went in, used the restroom, and left.
	Now they want to put them in jail for what would be probably the rest of their life.
	But, you know, when it's the Democrats, it's very different.
	Secret Service made no arrests, and I'm sure that we can imagine that the FBI is not going to be making any arrests either.
	The protest is one of several to become physical in the U.S. since demonstrations in support of Palestine began on October 7th.
	See, that's a real issue that I've got with that.
	You know, at that point in time, You just had a mass murder.
	These people were supporting Palestine.
	I don't support what the Israeli government is doing.
	And I've had people write me and say, well, I'm not supporting you anymore because you don't support what the Israeli government is doing.
	Look, let me just say that we got people, evangelicals in Iowa, there's a lot of talk about that because they can really sway the vote one way or the other.
	And so you had a situation where Mike Huckabee won in Iowa because of his pressing the flash and meeting the people, but also because there's a large Christian vote there in Iowa.
	But people will typically look at what Trump is doing and not hold him accountable to it.
	They will look at what Benjamin Netanyahu is doing and not hold him accountable to it.
	These are Christians I'm talking about with no discernment whatsoever.
	I was talking about this to Karen, because I got several people say, well, I'm not supporting you anymore because you don't give carte blanche to Israel to do whatever they want.
	And I said, you know, this is a secular government.
	This is a secular government that persecutes Christians, persecutes Orthodox Jews, and even tells the Orthodox Jews, and this is something that Christians should think about.
	Who is it that's saying that they can't set up a temple, right?
	This is something that Christians say, well, we've got to set the temple up and sacrifices are going to stop.
	Who is it that's stopping that?
	The secular government of Israel.
	Who is it that experimented on Israelis?
	Experimented on more Israelis than Joseph Mingla did?
	Well, that would be Benjamin Netanyahu, who bragged about it when he contacted his masters at the World Economic Forum.
	And so I was talking about that yesterday to Karen.
	And I said, you know, how in the world do Christians say that we need to make this happen?
	Don't they have any confidence that God's going to make this happen?
	You know, I understand why people like Benjamin Netanyahu and Ben Shapiro don't.
	Because they don't believe their Bible.
	Benjamin, Ben Shapiro said, no, I don't believe that God parted the Red Sea.
	Oh, you don't? Well, then I guess you don't believe that he parted the Jordan River and let Joshua and his people cross over to give you the land.
	No, he'll take the land, but he won't take the Bible.
	You say, why are we listening to people like this?
	And I said, over and over again in the Bible, you have alliances made by a king with a foreign country.
	And God says to them, for example, He says, well, you made this alliance with Egypt.
	I could have and would have protected you.
	But because you made this alliance with these other people, because you trusted in their chariots and horses, you will lose.
	I'll turn you over to them.
	And I said, you know, it seems to me like if God is going to do this, you know, if they're going to get their independence, God's going to do it miraculously.
	He's going to do it in a way that glorifies Him.
	Why can't evangelicals see that?
	I don't understand. Why are they making this alliance with a criminal, a criminal, religious, persecuting, secular government?
	And so after I talked to her about that, I said, you know, there's all this conflict with Orthodox Jews.
	Let me see what beef they have with it.
	And you know what? I was surprised.
	They had exactly the same argument I had.
	We had a lot of Orthodox Jews who said, we don't like this secular state of Israel.
	We want a religious state.
	And God is going to give that to us if we have it.
	We don't want to have a secular state.
	It's going to become a state that just represents ethnic Jews.
	And you're going to see these kinds of ethnic conflicts, as we now see.
	That's why you have a lot of Orthodox Jews who refuse to join the military in Israel.
	And why you see the police beating them in the streets.
	Because this religious basis for supporting this secular government...
	It's ridiculous. And this religious basis for supporting Trump that's being drummed up by a bunch of these Trump evangelicals is absolute nonsense.
	Why can't people see what these people...
	Why can't people see Netanyahu for what he is?
	Or Trump for what he is?
	Just look at what they do.
	Forget about what they say.
	And quit projecting your values on them.
	You know, the Democrats are always projecting...
	They're evil intentions and motivations onto other people, aren't they?
	And the sad thing is, is that evangelicals are always projecting good motivations on evil people.
	They do just the opposite. Well, I know it looks bad, but it's just 4D chess.
	And that was not an argument from an evangelical.
	That was an argument from Alex.
	He's not an evangelical at all.
	You know, he's just trying to please the crowd.
	He's just, if anything, he is a TV evangelist type of thing.
	But protest was one of several to become physical since the support of Palestine began on October the 7th.
	So again, both sides of this.
	That's why I'm not picking sides in the presidential election.
	I'm not picking sides in this war.
	I don't like Hamas. I don't like Netanyahu.
	I don't like Trump. I don't like any of these Republicans.
	I certainly don't like Biden.
	So the riot police said protesters raging against somebody called Genocide Joe.
	Oh, that would be Biden, right?
	Genocide Joe.
	Well, call him Democide Joe.
	And call the other guy Democide Donald.
	A little bit of alliteration there.
	That works. Democide Donald.
	And it had, like I said before, it had to be a tag team match.
	You couldn't have one guy create the vaccine and the other guy force-injected on everybody.
	You had to get both parties to be compromised by this planned democide.
	That's the way it works. That's why they did it the way they did.
	I'm not excusing either one of them.
	And it makes me want to throw up when I see people try to excuse one or the other of them.
	But these people, these pro-Palestinians, unlike the MAGA cult, these people will vote for what they believe in.
	Not the Trump supporters.
	The Trump supporters absolutely believe.
	I hate all this stuff. Bring up that comment from Friday about Ray Epps, Travis.
	We had a comment. I was talking to Gerald, and it was a very long comment.
	So I said, I'll get to it on Monday.
	And it was a comment on Rockfan and a tip from Tornator.
	I hope you're there today. I said I would get back to it today.
	He said, what are your thoughts on the one-year probation wrist slap that Ray Epps got?
	A new video from the morning of January the 6th shows Epps telling someone, when we go in, leave this here.
	You don't want to get shot.
	That shows that whatever that one guy claimed originally about Epps saying not to go in was a lie.
	The evidence in the light sentence shows that he was a Fed akin to a Civil War general giving marching orders but not personally participating in the main operation, although there is footage of him helping shove a giant Trump sign into a police line.
	I'm glad people like Thomas Massey are crying foul when the Epps wrist slap, When those who weren't present were sentenced to decades in prison.
	Well, Torna, thank you for the tip.
	Let me just say this about Ray Epps.
	Whether or not Ray Epps is an agent provocateur is not really important.
	It really isn't important. You've been misdirected by Darren Beattie because this is a red herring.
	And I've said this over and over again.
	Ray Epps is a red herring.
	What do I mean by that?
	Well, a red herring is a smelly fish that the anti-fox hunt people in the UK used to do.
	They used to wait in the bushes and, you know, when the upper class people would come in with their fox hunt or whatever, and the fox goes running by, they would run out of the bushes with their red herring smelly fish and they would run it over the path.
	And then the dogs would come and they would smell that stinky red herring and they would lose a scent.
	And so when you deliberately bring something out, like Ray Epps as a stinky fish, what is Darren Beattie at Revolver trying to do?
	He's trying to throw people off the scent.
	So who's the real fox here?
	See, the...
	The reality is, and I said this, I got fired for saying this, I said, stay away from Washington on January the 6th.
	It's nothing but a grift.
	There's nothing you can do about it, and I said that Monday, December the 14th.
	And that was the day that the electoral college, all the different electoral colleges, submitted their official vote.
	And at that point in time, there wasn't a single state, there never was, a single state, that recognized a different slate of electors.
	There was only one slate of electors from each state.
	Thomas Massey, that you mentioned there, said if they would have given us, any of these states would have given us another set of electors, we could have done something with it.
	But you see, for these, and they're coming after some of these electors, I don't think they committed a crime.
	That is political persecution by the Biden administration for sure.
	But these people that they're coming after that are fake electors, these are simply people, the way this operates, and I've told people this before because I've been an elector in a presidential election for the Libertarian Party.
	It didn't make any difference whatsoever.
	You see, every party that has a candidate on the ballot and a state, you will turn over a slate of electors to the State Board of Elections.
	And so, you know, in the party that I was active in, Karen and I were both electors for the Libertarian candidate.
	But the Libertarian candidate didn't win.
	So it didn't matter that I was an elector, you see?
	It only, whatever candidate wins, then the Secretary of State and the Board of Elections takes that slate of electors.
	If the Republican wins, they take the Republican electors.
	If the Democrat wins, they take the Democrat electors and so forth.
	And they become the electors.
	Now, if they would have argued this case instead of in court, they should have argued it in court, and it should have been heard in court.
	But the courts didn't want to handle the case.
	They just, you know, kicked off that hot potato to somebody else.
	So why, I said, didn't the Trump people go to any of these states on December the 14th?
	I said, here's four states where there's a razor-thin margin and you had Republican legislatures and two of them had Republican governors as well.
	So why didn't they go there and make their case?
	And if they would have done that, the Republican legislature could have said, well, we choose the Republican legislators.
	And then you might have a disagreement with the executive branch and the secretary of state who says, well, no, I'm the one who gets to choose who the electors are.
	But if they'd sent two different slates of electors, one from the executive branch and one from the legislative branch, then Pence would have had to do something with it.
	And that's what Thomas Massey was talking about.
	And so then you would have had a court case.
	Could have had a court case, but they didn't do any of that.
	And so why was everybody there?
	That getting back to Ray Epps and getting back to Darren Beattie, who's been a real snake in the grass.
	And let me say, Darren Beattie, before he ever got on Ray Epps, go back.
	You can search his stuff.
	Go back and look at who he was on before he went to Ray Epps.
	First, he went after Stuart Rhodes.
	And then he went after Enrique Terrio, the proud boy.
	Stuart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers.
	First he said, Stuart Rhodes is a fed.
	He's an informant.
	He's an agent provocateur.
	And they're not doing anything.
	They haven't charged him. And he did that for several months before they charged Stuart Rhodes.
	Then he got on to Enrique Terrio.
	And I reported that as well.
	And I said, well, I could believe that Enrique Terrio was a Fed because he had been a federal collaborator.
	You know, he'd worked with the police in terms of being an inside guy, and he'd done that in the past.
	And I thought it was very strange that they removed him from January the 6th that day.
	So at that point in time, I said, well, he might be right about that.
	But he went after both of them and said they would never be charged.
	And then when they were charged with a seditious conspiracy or something nonsense like that, you know, going back to the Civil War thing, he said, that's absurd.
	That is such an over-the-top thing, and nobody's been convicted of that ever.
	They're doing that because Stuart Rhodes and Enrique Cario are feds, and they're doing that to cover for them, and they're going to let them go.
	Did they? They got the two highest sentences of anybody.
	Life sentences. Decades in prison.
	Did Darren Beattie ever say I was wrong?
	No. Did he ever apologize?
	No. For slandering them.
	No. He was completely wrong.
	Why was he doing that?
	For the same reason that he did the same thing with Ray Epps.
	Now, I don't know if Ray Epps is guilty or not.
	I really don't care. I know what this game is about because I saw what Darren Beattie did with Stuart Rhodes and with Enrique Terrio.
	And what he was trying to do was to cover for his friends and for himself...
	Cover for people like Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, even covering for Trump.
	They were the reason that everybody was there on January 6th.
	People were there on January 6th not because of Ray Epps.
	They were there because of Trump and Alex and Tucker and Darren Beattie and people like that and Bannon.
	You know, I did that on December 14th.
	I was fired three days later.
	Because on air, I was saying this January 6th stuff is a grift, and you're going to get hurt with this stuff.
	He's building you up to make you think that you've got to go take this back somehow.
	How? What was the plan?
	That weekend, and I wasn't aware of it, I didn't realize that Alex was going around with his little dog and pony show, and he had Nick Fuentes in tow and Ali Alexander in tow, and he's doing these rallies and stuff and raising all kinds of money.
	I don't know what he did with the money.
	Do you know what he did with the money? Has anybody ever asked him what he did with all the money that he raised?
	Because the public's heiress paid for the permit for the parade.
	But he was telling everybody, by any means necessary, Biden will be removed one way or another.
	He'll be removed one way or another.
	Well, what's the way? Well, you go on January 6th, and we're going to make sure he's removed one way or the other.
	What was that about?
	Alex was culpable for enticing people and getting people to go.
	And by the way, it was a grift, and so when he fired me, he goes on radio, I had to let David go because I just don't have the money to pay him.
	He's raising millions of dollars.
	He had a record fundraiser off of the pandemic MacGuffin.
	And then off of this thing, he's making millions.
	Best year he'd ever had in 2020.
	Subverting America.
	Subverting the Constitution.
	Applauding the guy who did it to us.
	Who gave us medical martial law and all the rest of this stuff.
	I don't have the money.
	Even fooled Daily Beast.
	They said, well, it looks like Infowars is going to go bankrupt.
	Anyway, no, that's the reason why Darren Beatty was doing that.
	And so don't get all caught up in this Ray Epps stuff.
	It's a red herring. Do you understand who got people to go there?
	I said, from December the 14th all the way through until January 6th, the morning of January 6th, I said, stay away.
	It's going to be a lot of agent provocateurs.
	Now, why do they focus on Ray Epps?
	Again, this is psychological manipulation by people like Darren Beattie, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and Bannon and all the rest of these people.
	They've got to pick a person.
	This is classic Saul Alinsky.
	You isolate and you focus on this one person to misdirect people from the people who did this stuff.
	That's why they picked on him.
	They don't want you getting mad at Alec.
	And look, it's not illegal to have a protest.
	It's not illegal to tell people to come to protest.
	If somebody got violent, well, then they should face some jail time for that, but not life in prison.
	And as we look at this White House insurrection over the weekend, they're not going to do anything to any of those people, even the ones who got violent, even the ones who destroyed property there at the White House.
	They're not going to do anything to them.
	And so, as you know, it truly was mostly peaceful on January the 6th.
	There was, you know, a lot of people who got violent there.
	And of course, the agent provocateurs and the police provoked a lot of that stuff.
	But all of this has so many layers of lies.
	But it was very clear from the obvious that it was just a money-raising lie.
	A lie from Trump, a lie from Alex to make money for themselves and to put their own supporters at risk.
	Those are the people who should be angry with him.
	And that's why Ray Epps is doing this.
	Alex is not going to get any charges against him.
	He's doing everything these people want.
	He's not going to get charges against him.
	He's not saving him from that.
	But Darren Beattie is pushing this because he doesn't want the MAGA cult to think that they've been betrayed by the likes of Darren Beattie, Alex Jones, Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, all these people who pushed them, these Judas goats who pushed them into that trap.
	They knew as well as I do, as I did.
	And shame on them for lying to their own supporters and throwing them under the bus and leading them into that situation like Judas Goats and then taking a pass.
	Alex goes to the other side of town and hangs out at the Supreme Court thing.
	Trump says, follow me to the Capitol.
	He doesn't go to the Capitol.
	Where does he go? He goes to his private enclave and watches it on TV. And then he lets these people, he lets them hang out to dry.
	Never did anything to protect them.
	And the two weeks that he was still president.
	So, that's my answer about Ray Epps on Rockfin.
	Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	Thank you very much. That is very generous.
	Thank you. Good morning, David.
	You've been on top of your game 100%.
	Well, thank you so much. That's Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	We're going to take a break in a moment.
	But before I leave this, I have one more thing to say about oaths and loyalty to the Constitution.
	You know, they were so upset about Oath Keepers, weren't they?
	And, of course, you now got some Democrats out there saying, anybody who calls himself a militia, we've got to stop this about anybody who calls himself a militia.
	We need to pull these things down and arrest these people right away if they call themselves a militia.
	Well, that's a constitutional term, isn't it?
	A militia. And it doesn't mean the National Guard.
	I had this conversation with a kid who I really liked.
	He worked for us, but I got to know him.
	He used to come to the store as a customer, video store as a customer, when he was still in high school.
	He was the number two in his class, salutatorian.
	And he used to come around and skateboard.
	And the cops would arrest the kids if they were skateboarding on the sidewalks and stuff.
	And so, you know, we told him, come in here.
	The cops are out there. You know, a couple of times we saved him from beginning arrest.
	And I said, I don't care if you skateboard around here, but if you get that thing into my car, parked in the back, I know where you live.
	And you're going to fix it, okay?
	Stay away from my car. But he was a good kid.
	But he went hook, line, and sinker with whatever he was told in school.
	And so we got into a long discussion that we're teaching him in school about the militia being the National Guard.
	I said, that's not it at all. It's about every able-bodied man from 16 to 60.
	That was the yeomanry.
	That was what they were referring to.
	And far from banning militia, The Constitution, with its well-regulated militia, really means that the federal government should be training and equipping the militia, kind of like what they do in Switzerland, right?
	We should all be given fully automatic weapons and training to go along with it.
	I'm serious. That's what the Constitution says.
	And that would be a better situation than the gun control that the liberals want.
	But now, you know, not to do that, the U.S. military academies, says ABC News, are focusing on oaths and loyalty to the Constitution.
	In the wake of January the 6th is how they're doing it.
	For 75 minutes, Major Joe Amoroso quizzed his students on the class at West Point on American Politics.
	There was one answer, he said, that would always be acceptable in his class filled with second-year students at the U.S. Military Academy.
	Resilently, one cadet offered a response.
	He said, the Constitution? Yes!
	Well, where is the Constitution for the people in the military when it came to the jabs and to the mandates?
	Those people who supported the Constitution, those people who had religious principles that they would not betray, a constitution that they would not, an oath to the Constitution that they would not betray, were kicked out, weren't they?
	Don't talk to me about the Constitution.
	They said, it's not a particular person or personality that occupies these positions.
	Our loyalty is to the Constitution.
	Well, I understand. I see a lot of people who are loyal to a person and not to principles and not to the Constitution.
	But they said the next generation of military officers, the emphasis is that their loyalty must be focused on the nation's democratic underpinnings rather than on any individual.
	Well, it's not focused on democratic underpinnings.
	It's focused on the rule of law.
	And we had both Trump and Biden throw out the rule of law, throw out the Constitution, put in medical martial law, vaccine mandates, and all the rest of this stuff.
	So why do you need a new generation?
	Because you threw out the previous generation because they were loyal to principles, to the Constitution.
	And so the question is, is science what Fauci says it is?
	Is the Constitution what Biden says it is?
	No. Ultimately, you have to think for yourself.
	And you have to inform yourself.
	You have to think through these things.
	The Constitution says what it says.
	And it doesn't matter what your commanding officer says.
	The Constitution still says what it says.
	And it doesn't matter what Fauci says.
	The Constitution still says what it says.
	Or Trump. Or as far as the science goes.
	The vaccine mandate was loyalty to Biden, not to the Constitution.
	And you've got a lot of people who are still loyal to Trump and not to the Constitution.
	That's what they're going to be voting on in Iowa.
	We'll talk about that. Dozens of former and active-duty military members have been charged on the January 6th assault, says ABC News, an attempt to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election.
	So, again, that was a misplaced loyalty to Trump.
	As I said in 2020, and I said it on air, I said I'm not voting for Trump.
	Why would I vote for Trump when he put Fauci in charge, when he put public health officials in charge, when he gave us medical martial law, and he put unelected bureaucrats in charge of the country?
	What does an election mean?
	And if you're going to have somebody who did that already, why would I vote for him?
	I said, of course, I'm not going to vote for Biden either.
	I'm not going to vote for either one of them, but I certainly, and that's why I was telling people, don't try, you know, don't expose yourself to risk on January the 6th for this person who threw you under the bus this entire year.
	No loyalty to the Constitution.
	No loyalty to his supporters.
	That's who Donald Trump is.
	You know, when you look at it, again, apart from violence, what was the plan?
	We're going to make sure that we remove Biden by any means necessary.
	Well, what was the plan other than that?
	You get people all hyped up for that?
	And that's the only thing that they can see that's going to be happening there?
	Well, again, lots of snow, and we'll be talking about what's happening in Iowa.
	They're having the caucus there.
	Very, very severe...
	Weather there, even for Iowa standards, the weather in a lot of the country is more severe than usual.
	So, we'll take a quick break, and as we go to break, we will play one of our Christmas songs.
	I had... Still got people ordering some.
	So I had somebody order a Christmas album this last week.
	Thank you for doing that. And so, like I said, I guess, you know, with all the snow around, they want to just, if they can't get out of the house and travel safely, can just sit there and buy warm fire and listen to Christmas music.
	So here's a bring a torch while you're doing that.
	I'm going to do that.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show. We can be cold, and it's not cold.
	If we're monitoring December, if you ask about our weather in July.
	And we're so fine, God's stuff.
	And we can stand, touch your nose, and go from beginning to time.
	We never see high to high.
	We'll give you our shirt And your back to go with it If your crop should happen tonight So what the heck?
	You're welcome. Glad to have you with us.
	Even though we may not ever mention it again.
	You really ought to get Iowa.
	Yes, the music man.
	And of course, Meredith Wilson grew up in Iowa.
	That was the land of his childhood that he did that musical about.
	Interesting little bit of tidbit there before we get into what is happening in Iowa today.
	Meredith Wilson was in John Philip Sousa's band at the turn of the century.
	That's why the music man and the marching band and all the rest of this stuff.
	And of course, he has some fun in it with the piccolo player, right?
	And he played piccolo. And he's saying, well, there's nowhere to put the music.
	And one of the guys saying there, you had to memorize all your parts if you're playing piccolo or flute or something like that.
	So that's where Meredith Wilson cut his teeth, was in John Philip Sousa's band, in a place that looked very much like the town, depicted in The Music Man.
	And as you heard the lyrics there talking about people in Iowa, we can be cold as a falling thermometer in December if you ask us about our weather in July.
	But of course, we will give you our shirt.
	and the back to go with it. And so that also applies to what we had this last week.
	We had the internet laughing in ridicule at a local Republican talking about Trump, and as some people pointed out, his fantasy Trump. He said Trump would give you the shirt off of his back.
	He'd give you his shirt and he'll give you his back as well.
	well as we've seen with numerous individuals as well as January the 6th people.
	But here's the actual statement by this guy that everybody was laughing about.
	They don't understand that he is the person that will stand for you in a time of need.
	He will literally give you the shirt off his back.
	And he loves his country and his family more than you will ever know.
	Yeah. All of his wives.
	He loves them all. After he kicked him to the curb, he really loves him as well.
	What is this?
	Who is this guy?
	He's just amazing, isn't he?
	The internet broke in hysterics on Sunday when Representative Derek Van Orden told a crowd of Iowa supporters that Trump would give anything to people out of his overwhelming generosity.
	Prompted ridicules and questions.
	Cue that clip of Trump not holding the umbrella for Melania and the downpour, said one person.
	Well, he's done much worse than that to his wives, as a matter of fact.
	But this supercut that somebody put together of Trump We're good to go.
	His undying attacks on the person, everything about the person.
	Here's that clip.
	Jeff Sessions. This is all in one term, it says.
	Bill Barr is going to be as good as we think because Bill is a good, he's a great gentleman, a great man.
	And by the way, when Bill Barr, who's, you know, a coward, Bill Barr was a coward, Bill Barr didn't do what he was supposed to do.
	I fired him and he has great hatred.
	In his new role as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Milley will serve as my top military advisor.
	I have absolute confidence that he will fulfill his...
	Yeah, the Trump people love Milley now too, don't they?
	...brilliance and fortitude he has shown throughout his...
	Long and very distinguished career.
	Millie frankly was incompetent.
	The last one I'd want to attack with as my leader would be Millie.
	John Kelly will do a fantastic job.
	General Kelly has been a star, done an incredible job thus far, respected by everybody.
	I know John Kelly.
	He was with me, didn't do a good job, had no temperament, and ultimately he was petered out.
	He was exhausted.
	This man was totally exhausted.
	He wasn't even able to function.
	I am confident that Jay has the wisdom and leadership to guide our economy through any challenges that our great economy may face.
	And you know, I had my own situation with Powell, and I beat the hell out of him.
	I was not a big fan of Powell.
	He was recommended by some people.
	I didn't like him. We are going to appoint Mad Dog Mattis as our Secretary of Defense.
	They say he's the closest thing to General George Patton that we have, and it's about time.
	It's about time. Mattis was a highly overrated general, didn't do the job, didn't do good on ISIS. Mattis was fired, as you know, by President Obama, and I fired him also.
	Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State.
	He's going to do a great job.
	He's respected all over the world, and I think he's going to go down as one of our great, great secretaries.
	In an angry tweet this morning, he called Tillerson, quote, dumb as a rock and totally ill-prepared and ill-equipped to be Secretary of State.
	Mark Esper was a highly respected gentleman with a great career.
	West Point, Harvard, a tremendous talent.
	He's just named acting secretary of defense.
	He has said, quote, you were a lightweight, a figurehead.
	He said Mark Esper was weak, totally ineffective.
	He said he would do anything I wanted.
	Secretary Chao, you've been so fantastic in so many ways.
	Transportation, it's just moving along.
	And you've done a fantastic job for me and for the country, and I appreciate all that you do.
	In his post on Truth Social, Trump said, McConnell, quote, has a death wish and must immediately seek help and advice from his China-loving wife, Coco Chow.
	Yeah, well, there you go.
	He may not give you his shirt, but he will give you his back.
	And the latest example of Trump's disloyalty...
	It was on display in Iowa.
	Over the weekend, Trump turned on Ramaswamy, this groveling MAGA sycophant, Ramaswamy.
	See, it doesn't help.
	You can grovel and kiss Trump and he will still kick you to the curb.
	Former president said that while Mr.
	Ramaswamy had previously been, quote, a great supporter of He was now not MAGA. What was it that Rama Swami did to offend this narcissist who was incapable of acting except in his own perceived self-interest or out of revenge?
	And perhaps both of those were involved here.
	He would like to shore up his support.
	Everybody has got him so far ahead in the polls That about the only thing that's going to happen is for people to play the expectations game.
	Oh, look. Trump underperformed.
	Or this other candidate over here overperformed.
	And so he's very concerned about Ramaswamy, who is working very hard.
	Again, I'm not supporting or endorsing anybody, but Ramaswamy has been hitting all the pizza palaces and everything all over the state.
	Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter.
	He said, I was the best president in generations, but now this deeply wounded narcissist is not happy.
	He went on to say in his post on his quote-unquote truth social, I just call it the ministry of truth social, Anyway, unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks.
	Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the other side.
	He puts other side in quotes.
	Don't get duped by this.
	Vote for Trump.
	Uppercase quotes.
	Don't waste your vote. Vivek is not MAGA. The Biden indictments against his political opponent will never be allowed in this country.
	They're already beginning to fall.
	MAGA! Three exclamation marks.
	I guess we can rule out a vice presidency for Vivek.
	He got kicked to the curb even before he got appointed into Trump's cabinet.
	And he did everything he could.
	To grovel before Trump.
	You know, you remember, he said when they started trying to kick Trump off the ballot, he says, well, that's it.
	I'm not going to put my name on the ballot either if they kick Trump off, and I call on all the other candidates to say the same thing.
	He did everything he could to grovel to Trump.
	Trump doesn't care. As a matter of fact, this might be why he got the ire of Trump.
	At the last minute, Ramaswamy is going around in these Iowa town halls and he said, vote for me if you want to save Trump and save this country.
	Ooh, ooh.
	You mean Trump can't save the country?
	And Trump is a helpless victim, a pawn in all this?
	He said, one person asked Ramaswamy, he said, how do I vote for Vivek Ramaswamy without sending the message that I am okay with what they are doing to Donald Trump?
	That was the question to Ramaswamy.
	And he said, he replied, he says, well, if you want to save Trump and save this country, a vote for me is actually the way to go.
	What they're doing to Trump is wrong.
	I've stood up against it, and every step of this process at this point is my firm conviction that this system, which has ratcheted up the threat level one by one to eliminate Trump from the ballot, will stop at nothing.
	To keep this man away from the White House, he said, I think the best way to literally save Trump is to at least have arguably somebody the system might actually, you know, prefer less than Trump for what I'm bringing to Washington, D.C., and I think that's also what this country requires.
	Yeah, very clever.
	He's very clever. And I think, you know, the two of them really deserve each other.
	But I don't know if you can have these two snakes in one basket.
	While Ramaswamy outlined the actions he's taken in defense of Trump throughout the Republican primary process and offered praise to the former president, he said, I think they duped him at many steps.
	Oh, oh, fatal error.
	Fatal error. The genius.
	The guy who could have stopped the Civil War and who could end all the wars around Earth on day one.
	You're saying they duped him?
	Except that's what most of the Trump supporters have been saying.
	Well, they duped him on the vaccine.
	And they duped him on this and they duped him on that.
	Or he is the master strategizer.
	He's playing 4D chess, right?
	They duped him at many steps, he said.
	He cited the insistence to Trump that he could not fire civil service bureaucrats as an example of him getting duped.
	No, as an example of Trump lying to people.
	He knew he could fire Fauci.
	He had already fired the FBI director.
	And everybody was clutching their pearls in the wake of that.
	Oh, he fired the FBI? I mean, we typically appoint the FBI director for tenure.
	No, he could fire him.
	All of these people are under the executive branch.
	The entire swamp, the entire deep state is all under the executive branch.
	If you can't fire the executive branch, you're not president, or you don't understand what a president's office is, or you don't have the courage to do it.
	Because Trump didn't have the courage to remove the DACA executive order from the previous president, Obama.
	And that was an executive order that defied the law.
	It said, we're going to defer action on childhood arrivals.
	In other words, we're not going to enforce the law.
	I've just announced and I've put in an executive order that I'm going to nullify this law.
	And so Trump could have easily said, no, we're going to follow the law.
	And I'm going to remove the executive order of the previous president.
	But he didn't the entire time.
	Because he didn't do anything about the border.
	That was his central issue when he ran.
	He did nothing about it.
	It's one of the reasons why Ann Coulter hated him so much.
	Because we all know what a festering problem the open borders have become and how it's getting worse and worse.
	And it is... It has turned into something that is really, I think, out of control.
	And Trump was kind of the last chance to do something about it his first term.
	And he did nothing about it.
	And so, yeah, a kind reading of that would be that he was duped.
	That he was stupid.
	Not that he was a calculating liar.
	Our America First agenda does not belong to Donald Trump, Ramaswamy went on to say.
	Just as it doesn't belong to me or to anybody else up here, it belongs to you, to us, to we, the people of this country.
	And we owe it to this country to make sure that movement does not end with Donald Trump.
	Not MAGA! Not MAGA if he says something like that, right?
	I said that from the very beginning as well.
	I said, okay. We don't know what Trump is.
	I said, just like Julian Assange said, we know who Hillary Clinton is.
	We know she's a criminal. We know she's a murderer.
	We don't know who Trump is.
	Well, the Trump administration were the ones who were trying to kill Julian Assange, got him arrested.
	That was Bill Barr, CIA, who started all that stuff.
	But Trump put him in there, so Trump is responsible for that.
	And so, I said at the very beginning, I said there's too much focus on Trump.
	And I made the comparisons to the Tea Party.
	I said, you know, the Tea Party stood for taxed enough already.
	And so you had massive protests of people who showed up in that initial Tea Party protest in Washington.
	And it was all peaceful.
	Nobody got violent about that.
	But I said, there's not really any defining set of principles on this.
	It's basically kind of like the guy in New York that continued to run for mayor.
	The rent's too damn high, he kept saying.
	It's like, okay, what do you want to do about it?
	Okay, so people at the Tea Party taxing off already.
	Taxes are too high. Well, what do you want to do?
	Do you want to cut spending? Or do you want to cut taxes?
	What is it that you want to do?
	How are you going to reduce that?
	What are you going to get rid of to bring the taxes down?
	Or do you not care about deficits?
	And there was no answer coming from the Tea Party.
	They didn't know what they wanted to cut.
	They weren't really focused on the Constitution.
	They weren't focused on individual liberty and that kind of stuff.
	It was a grievance party.
	It was like Festivus or something, you know They didn't really have a solution for anything and and so I said that you know That's why it petered out and died You had a lot of people made a lot of money off of it Glenn Beck did and things like that But there really wasn't any objective there. There wasn't any coherent set of principles and I said that about Trump I said the problem is is that you know people are focusing around Trump But they are not
	So what happens when Trump leaves?
	Trump's not that young, you know?
	So what happens when he...
	Let's say he does two terms and he's out.
	Then what happens? If you've got a movement that is focused around a person or a grievous movement that is focused around the fact that taxes are too high, so it doesn't go anywhere.
	And that's basically what Ramosami was saying.
	But you can see how Trump was offended.
	Because it's all about him.
	It must be about him.
	All of it must be about him.
	He went on to say, I believe we're being led into a trap right now.
	And it pains me to watch it.
	He suggested that the system was working to ensure the America First movement ends with the defeat of Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
	I believe that. I believe the plan is for the Democrats to give him the nomination by portraying him as a victim of crooks and political persecution, which again, they are crooks and they are politically persecuting him.
	That part of it is true. So that has been the wind in his sails.
	If you remember, Trump was the reason that there wasn't a red wave in 2022.
	And everybody looked at the one place where there was a red wave with DeSantis, and they said, well, he's our guy.
	And he was, at that point in time, way ahead of Trump.
	And so what did Trump do? Well, he said, first of all, you lost the election because of abortion.
	You were trying to protect babies.
	And that's too harsh.
	What he did was too harsh. So he throws babies under the bus, Trump did.
	And then he comes after DeSantis with all these personal invectives.
	And no matter what DeSantis did, he couldn't make it about issues.
	He would have a conference about CBDC. He'd speak for a half hour about Big Brother digital money.
	And the first question is, but what about Trump and this indictment in Manhattan?
	That's all anybody wanted to talk about.
	Don't want to talk about any issues, just about Trump and his indictments.
	And so that's where we are right now.
	But when I look at this, You know, when Ramaswamy says they're leading us into a trap, what does he mean?
	He's alluding to the fact it's going to be a January the 6th, Part 2.
	Part 2. Everybody believes that supports Trump.
	The MAGA cult believes that, you know, he can't be stopped.
	Most popular president everywhere.
	And they've got their polls to reinforce that.
	Whether the polls are true or not, who knows?
	The polls were 100% wrong about Trump in 2016.
	Completely wrong. We did story after story.
	You know, laughing at the pollsters.
	Are you really going to take these people seriously?
	And yet, the MAGA people do.
	When they tell them what they want to hear, they take it seriously.
	What do they want to hear? Trump is undefeatable.
	And so, if he's undefeatable, I'm going to vote for him.
	Right? That's the mindset of a lot of people.
	And when... You know, when Trump doesn't win, either because people don't like him or because they rigged the election, you're going to get another January the 6th.
	And that's the trap that we're being led into right now.
	Ramaswamy, I think, sees it.
	I'm not supporting Ramaswamy.
	I think he's a snake as well.
	But I think he sees it.
	He alluded to it.
	And I've said it many times.
	I really believe that's what's happening.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk then about what is going on in the ground in Iowa.
	Again, the caucusing starts today.
	Is it caucusing?
	Is that a word? Caucuses?
	The cocci? We'll come right back.
	Stay with us. If you like the Eagles, the cars, and Huey Lewis and the News, You'll love the classic hits channel at APS Radio.
	Download our app or listen now at APS radio.com The David night show is a critical thinking super spreader It's...
	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.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Well, there was an article put out by Politico.
	They had a reporter who has been on the ground following the candidates around, and he talked about a pizza ranch and how it's become a very effective way for the candidates to do retail politics, especially going back to Huckabee's campaign, where he surprised everybody.
	And he went from one Pizza Ranch to the other.
	And as I was looking at this, Pizza Ranch is not a chain that has ever been in, a lot of them in the Midwest, evidently.
	But not one that I've ever been to.
	I don't know anything about it. But when I kept imagining Pizza Planet, you know, from Toy Story.
	And I kind of imagine these people who were turning up to follow Trump and these other candidates as kind of the little things, ooh, you know, Claw is our master.
	The Iowa pizza chain that explains how our politics became so dysfunctional.
	The nation's partisan divide runs right down the buffet line at Pizza Ranch.
	And so, when you look at this, as he points out, the Des Moines Register caught on quickly when you had Huckabee doing this.
	They started tracking campaign stops at Pizza Ranch.
	And so...
	The guy who owned it caught on.
	He donated $1,000 to his frequent customer, Huckabee.
	Huckabee would end up beating Mitt Romney by nearly 11,000 votes, a little more than 9 percentage points that year.
	But then later on, in 2016, Hillary Clinton did it once, and that was enough for her.
	Donald Trump did it once, and that's all he wanted to do.
	And Cruz won in 2016, won Iowa.
	And so what was it like this time around?
	Well, in 2024, Pence did four events.
	Tim Scott did five events at a pizza ranch.
	DeSantis did three, but I think his wife did six.
	Haley and Trump did zero this time around.
	And then Ramaswamy did, I forget what I didn't write down here, the total number was more than two dozen.
	As I pointed out, he did six of them in one day.
	And it was a very effective way for him to get to, you know, 50 to 100 people.
	It only cost him about $200, $300, and he could, you know, buy pizza for everybody.
	And he joked, he said, I'm busy enough that I don't have time for my exercise routine.
	So I've had to go from deep dish thick crust to thin crust, and now I'm doing the salad bar.
	They have like a sausage and gravy pizza I've never heard of before.
	I've never been to Pizza Ranch.
	Anyway, I guess it's very popular.
	Very popular, and it may be very good.
	I'm not saying it's not good for the people who are...
	Pizza Ranch fans, and I'm sure there's a lot of them because they've got a lot of stores and they've been in business for quite some time.
	But one of the things that they said in this article, which I thought was really key, in all this retail politics where you could, you know, this reporter from Politico would follow them around and he would, you know, was watching very carefully and he said, you know, it's driving him nuts because he's seeing the same stump speech all the time.
	But then the questions that came from people.
	He said people were not asking about local issues.
	You know, typically in Iowa, there's a big issue about ethanol subsidies and things like that.
	They want that. So they didn't ask about any domestic issues, except for the border, which Trump didn't do anything about.
	But he said it was mostly about foreign policy.
	And that's the thing that really concerns me.
	We've become a country that is fixated on our being an empire.
	As we were rotting and decaying from the inside.
	I think that is really the bottom line of this Pizza Ranch story when I went there.
	It's a very long story talking about it.
	And it was, you know, it was entertaining.
	You know, it was kind of entertainment journalism.
	But that's the bottom line, was what were the concerns of the people?
	Not concerned about themselves.
	They're projecting. They have now aligned themselves with the concerns of the national security state.
	All they hear about is the national security state.
	And it's as delusional as the lies and the delusions of the masks and the social distancing and all the rest of this stuff.
	This alignment with so-called national security.
	They want to protect the borders.
	They want to protect you.
	As a matter of fact, they're obviously coming after us.
	But let's align ourselves with their agenda of power projection and geopolitics.
	So Wayne Allen Root, who I typically always disagree with what he has to say.
	I mean, he has told the truth about how deadly the vaccines are and then immediately goes on to praise Trump and tell him to stop talking about being the father of the vaccine.
	If you want to look at somebody who is a...
	A complete, you know, ditch all your principles for politics.
	Wayne Allen Root's your guy. The largest terror attack in our history has already happened, he said.
	Yes, I know. I reported on it, even though Wayne Allen Root hasn't, the big terror attack in our country was March 2020.
	Bigger even than 9-11 because it was the other shoe to drop from 9-11.
	The two of them began together, a dark winter, two months before 9-11, and then followed up with the anthrax false flag attack and then with the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act and then the 20 that gave the states the power to do what Trump paid them to do 20 years later after they had practiced with the CIA and with DARPA and And with the NIH, after they had practiced what they did to us in 2020 for 20 years, that shoe dropped.
	The other shoe of 9-11.
	Both of these things were inside jobs.
	As a matter of fact, we could say that Trump's inside job was an inside jab.
	It was about jabbing us.
	And both of them were done by Republican presidents that the conservatives had supported.
	George W. Bush...
	Did 9-11 because nobody would suspect him, right?
	He's a Republican. We could, if we saw those Democrats do something, there'd be some questions about that.
	But no, no.
	And then you had the inside jab that was done by Trump.
	And of course, we know that he's an anti-globalist.
	And he would never do all the things that the globalists wanted.
	Until he did. And then we deny that he did it.
	And so, you know, the biggest terror attack in our history has already happened, says Wayne Allen Root, and he's talking about open borders.
	But again, why didn't Trump fix that in 2016?
	He had four years to do something about it.
	It was his primary issue.
	He did nothing about it.
	He didn't do anything about the wall.
	He didn't do anything about the anchor babies.
	He didn't do anything about the magnets that are drawing in the anchor babies and everybody else.
	He didn't do anything about DACA. As a matter of fact, we had the first caravans began during his administration after the globalists, NGOs, and these illegal aliens realized that Trump was a paper tiger on the border.
	He was all mouth and no action.
	And so, when I look at this, you know, oh, we got this terror attack that's happening, says Wayne Allen.
	You have...
	Newsweek, saying they fear a military takeover by Donald Trump.
	A military takeover?
	Warp speed was a military operation.
	It always was a military operation.
	Speaking of COVID-19, Goldman Sachs put out a model yesterday saying that if there is universal masks, it would be a net positive for GDP. I would...
	Oh, I have. I mean, people have seen me wearing one.
	I mean, I'd have no problem.
	Actually, I had a mask on.
	I sort of liked the way I looked.
	Okay? I thought it was okay.
	It was a dark, black mass.
	♪♪ Yeah, nothing says military operation like being surrounded and marching in with a phalanx of guys in uniform.
	All wearing masks.
	Well, let's take the mask off of this petty tyrant.
	I can't breathe in this thing!
	Yeah, yeah. Well, this is what Trump tweeted out.
	He says, and this is when Trump was on Twitter.
	This is an official account.
	He puts up a picture of himself and his black mask with a presidential seal on the cheek, and he says, we are united in our effort to defeat the invisible China virus.
	And many people say that it is patriotic.
	To wear a face mask when you can't socially distance.
	There is nobody more patriotic than me, your favorite president.
	Well, Benedict Donald.
	There's the masks, the lockdowns, all this stuff, while he prepares the poison.
	But, of course, there's nothing there that anybody wants to see.
	And Newsweek doesn't see the medical martial law as being a military takeover.
	Donald Trump did a military takeover.
	They think that he'll do it in the future, but they don't acknowledge that he's already done it.
	Of course he'll do it again. He'd have no qualms at all about doing it again.
	And so, what was the result of all this?
	Well, you know, natural news. Mike Adams.
	Mike Adams. Still cheering Trump, and yet he continues to run these articles that tell you the truth about the vaccine, but then he lies to you about who did it.
	Number, here's the headline from Natural News from Mike Adams.
	Number of excess deaths among young Americans in the first nine months of 2023 is 158,000 higher than the same period in 2019.
	We've already covered all this many different ways.
	I mean, you can look at the data and you can talk about percent increases or you can talk about the total number of people that have been additional, that have been killed and all of a sudden.
	But what Mike Adams won't tell you is that the Trump shot.
	It was an inside jab.
	He's going to cheer Trump, just like he cheered, Mike Adams cheered the masks.
	He cheered the masks, just like Trump did.
	And he sold the masks.
	And he sold prepper stuff.
	And that's why he was scaring everybody.
	That's why Alex was doing it.
	And we know that Alex had record sales that came out in the lawsuit.
	And I'm sure that Mike Adams had record sales as well.
	Love of money. The root of all evil.
	A majority of Americans blame, here's the headline here from Daily Skeptic, majority of Americans blame COVID vaccines for unexplained deaths, new survey shows.
	Now let me fix that headline for you.
	Majority of Americans blame the Trump shots for unexplained deaths, but not Trump.
	Not Trump. A new Rasmussen poll shows that a year on, public opinion has not changed much on the subject of the Trump shot harms.
	Just over half, 53% of Americans believe that these so-called vaccines may be to blame for many unexplained deaths.
	But you know what they won't do? They won't blame the guy who created them and bragged about it.
	They won't blame the guy who coerced people in doing it.
	Biden. No Trump, no Biden blame.
	It was kind of interesting to see this headline from the Babylon Bee.
	A new film adaptation in 1984 will feature Big Brother as the good guy.
	And I saw this and I thought, is this kind of a veiled criticism of Trump?
	Because, you know, the Babylon Bee, since they've got a conservative audience, would be absolute death to them to explicitly criticize Trump as I do.
	And so what they do is they have kind of a backhanded way of doing this.
	They can read the room as I can as well.
	After seeing how much people craved rules and control during the so-called pandemic under Trump...
	We decided that it wouldn't accurately depict what society looks like right now to have a protagonist who goes against the state narrative.
	And their fictional account of the people that are talking about this new movie that they're going to make where Big Brother is the good guy in 1984.
	So after we saw how cravenly subjective everybody was, I mean, we didn't want to have to do much with the script.
	We just used a bunch of Anthony Fauci quotes from the past few years, and we just filled in the blanks.
	I am science.
	Pure big brother gold.
	Well, interesting, isn't it?
	So, you know, then they throw in some left-wing stars who...
	Love all the lockdowns and the masks that Trump was doing.
	They love the shots. Mark Ruffalo, George Takai, Susan Sarandon and everything.
	But look, it's also a criticism of Trump, whether they realize it or not.
	But of course, it won't do to directly criticize Trump.
	They do criticize Nikki Haley directly.
	Nuki Haley. Their headline, Nikki Haley settled down on the couch with some popcorn to watch Biden bombing Yemen.
	Yeah, that's what she's about. War, war all the time.
	So, Nuki Haley was reportedly seen cozying up on the couch with her husband, Michael, in a bowl of popcorn as she watched a live feed of Biden bombing Yemen.
	Oh, I love this part, she reportedly whispered as she saw cruise missiles detonate.
	Witnesses confirmed that she mimed the impact of explosions with her hands as she said, bada-boom, crack!
	There's nothing more romantic than bombing a country with no real exit strategy, she told her husband.
	This is the best day of my life.
	Well, they've certainly got her number, and they're not afraid to use her name.
	So, on Rockfan, Audi Modern Retro Radio says...
	And now Trump wants to execute drug dealers, to implement the Global ID, and 15-Minute Cities, and his supporters are total morons.
	I absolutely agree.
	You're absolutely right, Howdy.
	It's just amazing, isn't it?
	We'll call them Freedom Cities, these open-air prisons.
	And the MAGA morons will never catch on, because it's Trump.
	He's just playing 4D chess.
	He makes the globalists think, That he's doing their 15-minute cities to lock people down.
	But as Alex Jones will later explain to us as we're being locked down in these cities, if that were to happen, he would explain to us, no, no, these are not the really bad 15-minute cities that Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates want.
	He's saving us from those.
	You can trust him.
	He's got us covered in these freedom cities.
	It's not the same thing. As a matter of fact, in the Freedom Cities, you can get sugar water as well.
	Maybe you can get some bee-free honey or some fake milk, all the rest of this stuff.
	And on Rockfin, thank you very much.
	IRS Machine Gun, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. One last thing I want to say here before we take a break.
	And that is, I got a letter from a listener, and he was asking about the fourth turning.
	I've talked about that, and I've said, you know, I think we're in a very dangerous time here.
	He says, I was allowed to retire from the Navy after 23 years, and a question he said, I thought I'd ask you for some help in sorting through my own thoughts about what I see as an inevitable revolutionary-type war in America.
	And as I said, I think that's what Trump is being used for in this fourth turning to create more division, more chaos, more distrust, more angst and sense of futility and lack of control.
	The Pentagon knows this. Let me just preface, before I read the rest of what he had to say, let me just give you what I have seen when I was doing research on asymmetric warfare, and we're looking at these asymmetric warfare centers.
	Are they training for war in America?
	I believe they were. I believe they were set up.
	They had multiple ones. The ones that I went into was set up as a complete replica of a city.
	It wasn't a city that was bombed out.
	It was a city where everything was still intact.
	Where they had underground stations, they had above ground train stations, they had hockey fields and everything that stood at the corner of First Street and Main Street, I think it was called, and we took pictures of that, sent that back live.
	But when I was doing research for Asymmetric Warfare...
	There are these, again, I've talked about it many times, nobody watches these things, they only had less than 100 views over several years, but it was these panel discussions where military leaders were talking about asymmetric warfare in Iraq and other places, and they said, when we look at the people that were fighting here in asymmetric warfare, you know, they can come in, like Biden said, we can take your guns from you, right?
	You think you're going to stop us?
	Well, we got jets and we got this and we got that.
	And that's what they do.
	They go into Iraq or they go into Afghanistan and they kill a bunch of people and devastate the area.
	And then they put in occupying troops.
	And then the asymmetric warfare begins with the roadside bombs and the guerrilla warfare and all the rest of the stuff, which we always lose.
	The U.S. government has always lost those.
	And so they were saying, why do we lose these asymmetric wars?
	You know, we got such an awesome military, but we can't win any wars.
	Why? Well, because of asymmetric warfare.
	And so they're practicing urban environments, suburban environments, and another military base, another military base.
	They have rural things that they practice on.
	So why can't we win?
	Well, it's because of asymmetric warfare.
	What is it that we're fighting against?
	They said, well, we're not fighting against religious extremism.
	They said the religious extremism comes in secondarily.
	They said it all begins when we occupy a country, when we destroy a country, and then you've got people who are very well educated in their mid to early 30s, and they realize that they have no control of their future, that everything has been shut down to them, and that galvanizes them to fight us.
	And then they turn to religion.
	And so he said it's really about, you know, these people losing everything.
	What is it that Davos is trying to do?
	They openly admit that they're going to try to take everything from us.
	And so they know.
	They know exactly what our response will be.
	And so this is what he says.
	He says, I do not relish...
	the idea, he says, I think we're headed to an inevitable revolutionary type war in America.
	I do not relish the idea, however, cannot look past the long-term benefits of our first revolution which led to liberty for so many people for two hundred years.
	I also know that there are many who would provoke the patriotic Americans into a war in hopes of unleashing hell on earth against them.
	I concede that at my age, I'm in my mid-fifties.
	It has a significant impact on my position.
	Bottom line is, if it must be done, I'd rather do it sooner than later while I'm still able to make a contribution.
	I don't want to just kick the can down the road for my children to deal with.
	And so, I hope I've adequately articulated my dilemma.
	I know the founders also struggled with when was the right time to fight.
	They debated this. They prayed for a very long time before 1776.
	I know it wasn't easy for those years prior to 1776, and I feel like we're in a similar time now.
	I'm thankful for their wisdom in searching for my own answers to these questions.
	And so, he asked me that.
	So, let me just say this.
	Let's begin with the Revolutionary War.
	And let's understand, first of all, the context of fourth turning, and he knows that because he has that in the title.
	He knows this is about a fourth turning.
	So think about the second fourth turning.
	Second fourth turning overthrew what 1776 did.
	1776 is a war of independence.
	The Civil War was a war of consolidation, of centralization.
	And it completely was the opposite of the war of decoration.
	And so, that did not go really well for a lot of people.
	People on both sides of that believed that it was going to be a cakewalk.
	It'd be over in no time. And there's no way that, you know, we're going to come out of this thing.
	And let me just say that if we have a revolutionary war, he talks about a revolutionary war, this would be a civil war.
	Not going to be fighting a foreign power that is, you know, on the other side of the ocean.
	This would be a civil war. So the analogy, first of all, should be more like the civil war.
	And I have to say, though, when we go back to 1776, and even when we look at the Civil War, it was important for everybody to fix a—for morale and for other purposes, it was important to make sure the other side fired first.
	Abraham Lincoln maneuvered that with Fort Sumter, but they took the bait, and he used that.
	With the American Revolutionary War, what happened at Concord and Lexington, the shot that was fired, that was heard around the world.
	Nobody knows which side fired first, but of course the confrontation was initiated by the British to take away firearms and cannons.
	And so when you look at these wars, the Revolutionary War, warfare was very different at that point in time.
	And Civil War was a bloodbath.
	And it's going to be far worse now.
	But that's not what should be part of our calculation.
	Our calculation should be doing the right thing.
	And our calculation should be, let it never begin with us.
	It's not going to be easy.
	It is going to be, if it's a war, if it's a Civil War, it's going to be worse than anything anybody has ever experienced.
	Worse than anything you can imagine.
	So you need to do everything you can to not have that happen.
	And the appropriate steps to try to make that not happen are to do everything that you can to try to nullify what these people are doing.
	And there's a lot of things that are left to us that we have not tried.
	It's like when I look at the abortion situation, right?
	Everybody's saying, well, you know, we can do this, we can do that, and we can fight over abortion.
	Why don't they just show the pictures of what it is?
	Why don't they just show the reality of what it is?
	And they refuse to do that.
	And so we must not leave things like that undone.
	We have to show the reality of what it is.
	We have to not be afraid to speak the truth.
	We have to push back against their censorship.
	We have to work From the ground up, from local communities, work to prepare for our own families, to prepare our communities, to make sure we've got good local leaders, good sheriffs, that we've got good people in the state government, and that these are people who are going to interpose under the law on our behalf.
	If it is going to happen, let it not begin with us.
	That's the key thing we have to look at.
	And so I know that a lot of people are very frustrated with this situation.
	But if you lash out in frustration, and if you lash out thinking that this is going to be a cakewalk, that is the trap.
	That is absolutely the trap.
	Don't let them push you your grievances, and of all things, don't let this be a civil war.
	of Republican versus Democrat.
	I can't think of anything more useless to die for.
	We'll be right back. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Looking for better information?
	APSRadioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world.
	APSRadioNews.com When I was a little bitty baby, my mama would rock me in the cradle In their mold,
	cotton field bag Yeah, this is dedicated to Jerry Nadler.
	Jerry Nadler, who came out and said, if we don't have those illegals to pick that cotton for us, it's going to rot in the field.
	Well, no, actually, he's talking about vegetables in this particular case.
	If the illegals aren't there to pick them, like slaves.
	That's the headline from Brittany Hughes at MRCTV. A lot of people picked up on the implications of what he was saying.
	As a matter of fact, here's exactly what Jerry Nadler had to say.
	And we need immigrants in this country.
	Forget the fact that the Farm that our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants.
	The fact is that the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level, which means our population is going to start shrinking.
	And the ratio of people on Social Security and Medicare is going to increase relative to the number of people supporting them.
	Yeah, the problem is that a lot of the people who come here as illegal immigrants come here because of the welfare magnet, and two-thirds of them are on welfare.
	So it's not going to be a salvation of the welfare state.
	It's actually going to be its demise.
	Those anchor babies are going to take the welfare state straight down to the bottom of the sea, just as Cloward and Piven had always anticipated they would do and planned that they would do.
	But of course, you know, Americans just don't want to work anymore, is what Natalie is saying.
	Or we're being killed by the shots that were developed by Trump and pushed by Biden, and sterilized by the shots, so we've got to bring in other people.
	No, that's not what they're doing this for at all.
	Brittany Hughes says, so the translation is, we need undocumented migrants to pick our grapes for $8 an hour.
	But again...
	He won't even, Nadler won't even give Trump credit for the open borders.
	Isn't that a shame? Nadler won't give, you know, what does Trump do?
	You've got to feel sorry for this guy, right?
	He opens the borders up, but the Democrats still complain about it.
	And complain about him.
	And then MAGA, that doesn't like the open borders, won't blame Trump for it.
	So they don't like the policy and the results of what Trump did, but they won't blame him.
	But the Democrats love what he did.
	But they blame him. That's how screwed up and twisted our politics are right now.
	But, of course, it is the welfare magnet that is the real issue.
	It's not even the cheap labor that's here.
	So, look, this is another trap.
	Don't fall for the E-Verify nonsense.
	And this is something that DeSantis and the Republicans in Florida did.
	Said, well, we've got a lot of illegal aliens who are coming in here and they're taking your jobs.
	And so we're going to have you all get a digital ID from the federal government.
	No, that's the wrong approach as well.
	Always problem, solution.
	And every problem comes back to the solution of a digital ID. There are currently about 283,000 illegal aliens working in the agriculture industry in the U.S. Half of those work in California, writes Brittany Hughes.
	They get paid on average between $11 and $14 an hour.
	So why wouldn't they come here?
	As a matter of fact, if they come here, you know, they can make between $11 and $14 an hour way more than they're making where they are.
	Or they can go on welfare, and if they go on welfare, they can get free medical care in California.
	Because most of these, half of these people who are working, illegal aliens working, are working in California.
	But they can get completely free medical care.
	They don't have to work to get that.
	They can go directly to unemployment insurance and collect $300 a week, which would be the same as if they were working a 40-hour week at $7.50 an hour, but they don't have to do anything.
	They can get all that in California, so why wouldn't they come?
	They're not stupid.
	We're stupid. We're stupid for allowing this.
	And then in Ecuador, you see the results of the gang warfare that is happening there.
	You know, our drug warfare, our drug war, our prohibition, during alcohol prohibition, we had enough respect for the Constitution that we passed a constitutional amendment, the 18th.
	We never did that for the drug war.
	But we see a lot of the same results.
	Alcohol prohibition created the gangs like Al Capone.
	It created more concentrated forms of whatever it was that they were trying to prohibit, alcohol or with a drug war, more concentrated forms of everything and some new drugs as well.
	It corrupted the courts.
	It corrupted the police.
	All this is happening.
	But the corruption that is happening in the other countries is what is truly amazing.
	You have these narco gangs that are now challenging the governments themselves in areas of Mexico and Ecuador.
	These massive arrests and prison riots that are happening there.
	But this gang violence is headed towards us, folks.
	There's nothing to keep these people out.
	As I talked about it years ago, on Long Island, you had a guy from El Salvador where MS-13 was.
	And these DACA kids that they would not deport, they were illegal alien kids, and they had MS-13 tattoos all over their faces, and they killed this man's daughter, who was from El Salvador.
	He said, we came here because of MS-13, and they came as well, because that's what happens when you have wide open borders.
	We have wide open borders.
	It's not just going to be MS-13 coming from El Salvador.
	It'll be these gangs coming from Ecuador that are threatening the government.
	They now have martial law.
	They now have a drug war that is a real war.
	Nearly 900 people have been arrested in Ecuador since Tuesday in a national security operation to stop an outburst of gang violence.
	Ecuador has been rocked by blasts, by police kidnappings, by prison disturbances, and a wave of violence beginning with a prison escape of one of Ecuador's most powerful drug lords last weekend.
	In a further measure, the Ecuadorian government announced on Thursday that foreigners, listen to this, foreigners who want to come into the country from Colombia or Peru, the neighboring countries, We'll have to provide a criminal record certificate in a measure that's designed to, quote, prevent and control the entry of individuals who constitute a threat or risk to public safety.
	Why doesn't Biden do that?
	Well, that's a rhetorical question.
	Why didn't Trump do that?
	Another rhetorical question, if you understand that he never intended to protect us any more than he never intended to be opposition to the globalists.
	They claim that 90% of foreign prisoners in Ecuador are from Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela.
	And of course, the number one number of illegal immigrants that were coming in a couple of weeks ago when I reported this were coming in from Venezuela.
	From Venezuela. The Ecuadorian government will enforce these measures at the border, but not the American government.
	One person in Ecuador said, I weep for my beloved Ecuador as it is plunged into deadly anarchy, says the ex-president, amid the cartel chaos.
	But let me tell you, that is coming for our beloved USA soon as well.
	The drug war that we began, the drug war and the open borders will come back to be a big part of the destruction of this country.
	Mark my words. Even on Facebook, nothing is being done, of course.
	Meta is allowing cartels to advertise human smuggling services on Facebook.
	You get three tries to get into the United States for $10,000.
	You give them $10,000 and they'll make up to three attempts to get you into the U.S. so that you can enjoy the land of synthetic milk and synthetic honey, I guess.
	And so you have Rick Grinnell, who was the director of national intelligence under the Trump administration.
	He's the one who pointed this out.
	This is a real national security issue, isn't it?
	So why didn't Rick Grinnell do something about this when he was there?
	Something about the border? But anyway, he talked about, you know, it's not what they didn't do.
	No, now it's about what Facebook is doing, and it is reprehensible what Facebook is doing.
	Grinnell said, I've learned in Guatemala that coyotes are openly advertising on Facebook.
	Three tries to get to the U.S. for $10,000.
	He said Biden and Zuckerberg don't care.
	Well, he was director of U.S. National Intelligence, and they didn't care about protecting international security, about protecting the borders during the Trump administration.
	He said it's un-American, and it just may be illegal.
	Well, of course it's illegal. This is illegal immigration.
	In July, investigative journalist Taylor Hansen revealed that smugglers are using TikTok to recruit drivers.
	One of the posts had a video that showed the process of getting past border control, the discussions during the operation, and the payments afterward.
	The video has words over the screen that read, I need drivers based in Texas to Only serious inquiries, good pay, $10,000 to $20,000 U.S. in three hours.
	Going to Houston, Dallas, San Marcos, San Antonio, Austin, Waco, Temple, all these in Texas.
	Follow me and DM me if interested.
	And if you have a car or truck, we will pay more if you have a trailer.
	Well, there you go. All being done in the open.
	And nothing being done about it.
	As a matter of fact, the fights that have erupted over the border, even though they put in razor wire, people are pushing their way through it.
	Video has surfaced from a week or so ago.
	Texas National Guard using riot shields to hold back hordes of migrants.
	Coming through the razor wire, one person hurtling a rock toward a soldier's head, barely missing it.
	14,000 making it over in just one 24-hour period last month.
	Video shows reality on the ground as asylum seekers.
	They're not asylum seekers.
	They're not running for persecution.
	They're running toward the welfare magnet.
	They're running toward money.
	These are economic refugees.
	Seen scrambling over razor wire and through the mud in a desperate attempt to reach the U.S. All the while, Texas National Guard can be seen attempting to block their path using plastic riot shields.
	So, in response, Abbott is taking some measures, and people in the Democrat Party, as well as the Biden administration, as well as the Mexican president, We're all criticizing him.
	But he says, we're using every tool that can be used from building a border wall to building these border barriers to passing this law that I signed that led to another lawsuit by the Biden administration where I signed a law making it illegal for somebody to enter Texas from another country.
	So he's doing all this now.
	Why did he wait for so long?
	I mean, this is 2024.
	It's an election year.
	But, of course, this is a problem even before the election year eight years ago, 2016.
	He's basically been passive about it.
	Why is he doing it now? Well, it is politically popular.
	It is the right thing to do.
	I'm glad that he's doing this for whatever his motivations are.
	Look, I've said in the past, you know, Newt Gingrich would look at things and he would say, well, 80% of the people think this.
	You want to be with those 80% of the people.
	Well, that Newt Gingrich believed it or not didn't really matter.
	It's just a smart thing to do politically.
	This is a smart move to do politically.
	Murder is a state issue, and he should be interposing, even to a greater extent, for protecting the people who are trying to protect this country.
	But as this crisis unrolls, as I said, you've got Mexico whining about it.
	The Mexican Foreign Ministry has accused the Texas governor of advocating violent acts against migrants attempting to reach the United States, violent migrants at the border, throwing rocks at Cutting through razor wire, attacking National Guard soldiers, but these are people who are not going to take no for an answer.
	But I guess we need to just let them do whatever they want.
	The Denver mayor criticizes Abbott, said he doesn't see migrants are following the Statue of Liberty.
	And then immediately he says, so stop sending us so many of them.
	Who are trying to do exactly what the Statue of Liberty says, which is, send us your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
	Now, they don't want freedom.
	They want free stuff.
	He says, it's a strategy of having folks just sent to New York and to Chicago and Denver.
	I think it's not setting them up for success.
	I think it's not setting up our cities for success.
	Kind of like, you're not sending us your best people, which is what Trump said, right?
	The governor of Illinois, Pritzker, the Hyatt family, the corrupt Hyatt family, sent a letter to Abbott asking him to stop sending migrants during a dangerous winter storm, warning that it could kill people.
	They're being sent on buses, not on foot, and on planes.
	So, do you expect Governor Abbott, who has sent migrants to Denver, I should note, do you expect that he'll heed that warning, said the mayor of Denver?
	He said, I would hope that he would, said the person interviewing him on CNN. And he said, it's incredibly dangerous for us to have folks arriving in the middle of this polar vortex where we have record low temperatures.
	We don't want to have a system where one governor decides where every migrant in the country gets sent.
	He said, instead, we want to have a place where we have federal dollars that support the new arrivals, you see?
	That's the other welfare magnet.
	And that's what the basis of the pandemic was.
	Pay me. Pay me.
	You give me money and I'll do whatever you want, Trump.
	I'll lock the people down.
	I'll take their businesses. I'll tell them that they're not essential that you said.
	All the rest of it. Just pay me.
	The problem that the Democrat governors have is that they just want federal money.
	And that's why these people are coming across the border.
	They want federal money.
	It's not freedom. It's free stuff.
	It's free cash. And so the U.S. Border Patrol...
	Is filing suit, complaining, saying that protecting the border prevents them from monitoring the border, prevents them from their catch and release.
	It prevents them from sending people further into the United States.
	So the Democrat mayors don't have a problem when Biden sends people further into the United States.
	Only when Abbott does it.
	A state law that made illegal immigration a state crime is the subject of the lawsuit.
	And the Associate Attorney General in the Biden administration says this is clearly unconstitutional for states to arrest illegal foreigners.
	Why is that? And by the way, what constitution is he talking about?
	We don't seem to be following any constitution, any rule of law.
	Texas is blasted as cruel, inhumane after blocking rescue efforts for three migrants that drowned.
	Again, accusing him of murder.
	But what about the magnet?
	What about what is enticing them to come?
	That's what I said about January the 6th, right?
	They see no culpability in the fact that they're offering amazing amounts of money to these people in these poor countries to come across.
	And then when the people get hurt, well, they're absolved of it.
	You can see this as a conservative, can't you?
	The hypocrisy of what they're doing about the border and welfare.
	But so many conservatives cannot see the hypocrisy and the entrapment and the enticement that was done on January 6th by Trump, by Alex, by Bannon, by Tucker.
	They can't see that. They can't see the stop the steal thing.
	It's about a quarter after 11.
	I'm not feeling too good.
	We're going to make this show a little bit short today.
	I'm going to end up here with a clip that is about five minutes long.
	It's Biden talking about the border when he was running for president in 2007.
	It's pretty interesting how he has changed.
	It makes sense. That no great nation can be in a position where they can't control their borders.
	It matters how you control your borders.
	Not just for immigration, but it matters for drugs, terror, a whole range of other things.
	So, that's the first sort of truism.
	The second truism is that this nation It's such that people in the country should have the first opportunity to be able to have jobs that pay well and have jobs that are decent, and that after that, the second crack goes to what we may need from other parts of the world or any other input.
	We have to.
	We have to. And I had been arguing for, back in my days as chairman of the Judiciary Committee and straight through as the leader of the Foreign Relations Committee, I've been arguing for the need to put more protection at our borders, meaning that you have more border guards.
	This president, refusing to add the number of border guards, now said he has to send the National Guard down.
	He vetoed.
	He was against adding the number of border guards.
	I only can suggest the reason he was is because he needed that money for his tax cuts that were unnecessary.
	I'm not being facetious.
	I'm being serious. Again, show me what you value.
	He had put a higher value on tax cuts for the wealthy than he did on protecting the border.
	And all of a sudden, the public responds, and now he says, now we've got to send the National Guard down there that's already overstretched by God knows how much.
	You know the units going in and out of your own state going to Iraq and Afghanistan.
	So I think what you have to do is you have to have a significant increase in the security at the border, including limited elements where you actually have a fence.
	Not a fence 3,000 miles like these folks are talking about, but you've got to, there are certain places people can go over and under a fence, but you can't take 100 kilos of cocaine over and under a fence.
	And what you do when you have limited places where fences are in populated areas, you force these drug dealers and others around, making it easier to apprehend because there's fewer places that come through.
	So I think the combination of virtual fencing, some fencing, additional border patrol is important.
	It's amazing how the free enterprise system and our conservative business friends talk about free enterprise and the right of competition and supply and demand.
	Yet there's one whole category of people they want to be allowed in on work permits that will take away jobs of Americans right now.
	We need seasonal agricultural workers, it makes sense, and we need special H-1B people where we don't have enough people to fill spots that are needed at the high-end, the high-tech end.
	I understand that. But I don't go for this idea of having the allowance of a significant increase, several hundred thousand people a year, to take regular jobs, particularly in the construction industry.
	When you have another 300,000 people competing to hang drywall, figuratively speaking, or to Carry bricks up a stairway up to the 15-story of a building or to do a lot of other work in the construction area.
	Guess what it allows the employer to do?
	Keep the wage lower.
	We have plenty of Americans that take those jobs.
	We don't have Americans who aren't willing to take those jobs.
	But the reason why the employers want this extra influx on a temporary basis, in my view, is it drives costs down.
	That's not fair to Americans.
	So you have to hold employers responsible in this measure here.
	Hold them responsible that they have to hire Americans first.
	Only if there's no Americans available for the job should we be promoting the idea of bringing in extra workers, in my view.
	Fifteen years from now we're going to be saying, what are we going to do about the flow of illegals into the country of the United States of America?
	So there are the elements of the way I'd go about dealing with it.
	It's hard, it's difficult, it's susceptible to demagoguery.
	But the basic facts are employers have to be held accountable for unscrupulous practices of bringing people here in order to keep wages down.
	We have to protect our border by putting more infrastructure and investment in the border to be able to control it, not just for immigration, but for drugs.
	And we have to provide a pathway for the people who are here that earn, earn the opportunity to become American citizens.
