	you
	using free speech to free minds you're listening to the david night show
	as the clock strikes 13 it's wednesday the 17th of january year of our lord 2024 today we're going to focus on what davos is focused on and of course that's climate and also war
	They're having Zelensky come in.
	He's setting up all these global banksters for cash.
	Not just getting it from the governments, but of course from the people who are going to be setting up our global governance, the corporations that are partners in all this.
	We're going to take a look at the climate scam.
	And of course, one extreme weather event like we're undergoing right now does not disprove it.
	The other people use that argument.
	We must be careful not to.
	But there's plenty of good arguments showing the trends are false.
	But most importantly, as we can see in this severe weather event, we can see where they're taking us.
	And that is not to zero emissions, but to zero energy as they get rich with their pals and their cronies.
	And we're going to begin with that. Stay with us.
	We'll be right back. Well, I don't know how cold it is where you are, but it's pretty cold here.
	And we were getting these weather advisories telling us it's going to be minus 15 degrees wind chill factor.
	Well, that's interesting. So I looked it up and that was a different source of information.
	I looked it up on mine and it said essentially the same thing, minus 14, minus 15.
	And it predicted no wind.
	One mile per hour wind.
	So that wind chill factor is all chill and not so much wind.
	But it turns out this morning, as I looked at it, it wasn't minus 15 degrees.
	And I'll just add, Karen has a different weather app as well.
	And they vary quite a bit.
	Their predictions vary by a couple of different degrees, you know.
	And even during the day, if you look at it, they vary by a few degrees from each other on a regular basis.
	But rather than it being minus 15, it was plus 1.
	They missed it by 16 degrees.
	And I mention this because it never ceases to amaze me.
	It was, I think, 2013 that the American Meteorological Society had their annual convention in Austin, and I went to that.
	And everybody, I mean, it was just a sea of science fair exhibits.
	A lot of people were doing presentations on their particular models to try to predict the weather a couple of days in advance.
	And then they had this massive floor.
	And every single one of these was like a high school science exhibit where they had a big board up there talking about their model and all the rest of the stuff.
	And they were all struggling to try to predict what the weather was going to be.
	Nobody was exactly getting it right.
	And then there was this one exhibit...
	That was done by an organization funded by George Soros.
	And it was wagging the finger at these weathermen and saying, you know, people would believe in climate change if you would tell them.
	But the sad thing is, is that most of the meteorologists don't believe in climate change.
	It's like, why would they, when they are struggling to predict what the weather is going to be in a couple of days, or the next day, even?
	And you're going to tell me that you've got a model that knows what the climate is going to be like in 50 years from now?
	Well, that's convenient, isn't it?
	An open-ended process, because that's what all these people are doing.
	They said, well, here's our model.
	Here's why we thought this would work.
	And these are the factors that we were measuring and using and putting into our models.
	And here's how we weighted it and all this other kind of stuff.
	And then here's the results. And as you can see, we got it pretty good here, but we missed it over here, that type of thing.
	That's where you do the science.
	But if you predict what the weather is going to be like 50 years from now, you don't have to do any science.
	And you can also hide your data.
	And you can pick where you want things to start and all these other tricks that they use all the time.
	Standard tricks and lies from government, quote-unquote, scientists that we saw during the so-called pandemic as well.
	Deadly Arctic Blast is...
	The threat in the NFL playoffs, the Iowa caucuses, 79% of the U.S. is hit with below freezing temperatures.
	And expecting to set record lows, as I say in this article, from Oregon to Mississippi.
	And so, when we look at the Arctic sea ice that they're freaking out about as well, that is surprisingly soaring.
	And it shouldn't be a surprise.
	And it's been increasing for the last 21 years.
	So it depends on where you pick your spot to set your trend, right?
	We could say, well, I'm going to start it from 21 years ago.
	And that means that we're going to go into a new ice age, which is what the depopulationists for the first Earth Day were all talking about.
	Paul Ehrlich wrote the population bomb.
	He wants to kill everybody. That's the bottom line in all this climate stuff, by the way.
	That's what's so appealing to the globalists.
	But it was going to be a new ice age.
	But if you change the starting point and you take a bigger view, what you see is a cyclical thing.
	And it's related to solar cycles, actually, which they can't predict that either.
	And they have no control over it.
	And it isn't because of your dishwasher or your car or anything else, the solar cycles.
	The traumatic, if largely unpublicized, recovery in Arctic sea ice is continuing into the new year, despite the contestable claims of the hottest year ever.
	You see that all over the materials from Davos.
	To justify, because they say, this year, we're going to be talking about climate and conflict.
	And so they bring in Zelensky for the conflict.
	Maybe we should talk about Climate and coups.
	Or just whatever the MacGuffin of the year is.
	Arctic sea ice on January the 8th stood at the highest level in 21 years.
	And in last December, this is just a month or so ago, the U.S.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center revealed that sea ice recorded its third highest monthly gain in the modern 45-year record.
	You see? We haven't been looking at it for that long.
	45 years. And we got a record here for the last 45 years.
	I've known Karen longer than they've known what's going on in the Arctic in terms of ice.
	It's ridiculous. We're coming up to our 50th anniversary of our first date.
	They just had their 45th anniversary of their first look at Arctic sea ice.
	So don't talk to me about that.
	I'm older than their records.
	A lot older than their records.
	So the reading up to January 8th has now far exceeded the average for the years 2011-2020.
	It also exceeds the average for the years from 2001 to 2010.
	And it points directly upwards with regard to the average for the years 1991 to 2000.
	So again, you know, where do you want to pick your starting point?
	And as they say here on the Daily Skeptic, This is only half a winter's worth of data.
	We must be careful not to follow the alarmists down their chosen political path of cherry-picking and of warning of climate collapse on the basis of individual events.
	Nevertheless, it's good to use their own arguments against them, isn't it?
	It's somewhat satisfying, even though we know these things are going through cycles.
	And, of course, that was what ClimateGate was all about, the fact that they were cherry-picking their cycles.
	You know, our models are not working.
	How do we hide the decline in temperature?
	Because at that point in time, they're trying to sell global warming.
	And now, any unusual event, even if it's freezing, that'll be presented as climate change.
	Every unusual weather event will be used to back up their so-called solutions.
	And here's one of their so-called solutions.
	The electric cars, and this is getting a lot of attention now.
	Because there's more cold and there's more cars.
	We talked about this last winter.
	You remember, Eric Peters had a car.
	He couldn't get it charged. Another person had a car.
	They couldn't get it charged. Same type of thing.
	You hook it up to the superchargers, but before it can begin charging the battery, the battery has to be at a certain temperature.
	So guess what? You can keep this thing hooked up as long as you want to.
	Right now in Chicago, it isn't going to charge these things.
	And so they've got all these different charging stations that they built with the Tesla stuff all over the place.
	And they've turned into car graveyards, as they call them.
	Everybody gets there, they can't get a charge, and their cars are now dead.
	Freezing temperatures in Chicago have left many unable to get home.
	One person even having to get his Tesla hauled.
	To a working charging station.
	Well, charging stations are working.
	It's just that it's too cold for them to work as created.
	They're into the negative temperatures.
	One person said, I was stuck here for hours.
	There's nothing. There's no juice.
	I'm still on 0% on my battery.
	This is like three hours being out here after being out here three hours yesterday to try to get a charge.
	One person said, this is crazy.
	It's a disaster. Seriously.
	She added that she had to abandon her car, hitch a ride with a friend who had a, what was it?
	Those things, what they call them?
	Oh, internal combustion engines.
	They kind of work.
	Because her car wouldn't charge.
	Yeah, you've got to heat the battery first.
	One person also said, we've got a bunch of dead robots out here.
	Another individual who came back to the airport Chicago here after traveling found that his car would not start cold had Harmed the battery and made it discharge faster, and then he had to get his car towed as well one spokesperson for the Chicago Auto Trade Association Got his dig in but of course he's just telling the truth truth.
	You know, sometimes the truth can be a very, very sharp sword, can it?
	You know, he says it's not plug and go.
	You have to precondition the battery, meaning that you have to get the battery up to the optimal temperature in order to accept a fast charge.
	And as this article from The Express said, Tesla has no comment.
	What are they going to say?
	About this. You know, the world could get its first trillionaire within 10 years, as I said yesterday.
	And they're saying that they think that EVs are headed towards $10,000.
	And it's like, wow, no wonder Elon Musk is so rich if he can sell these things for six times.
	He's been selling them for six times, but he'll still be able to sell it for and still make a profit.
	You know, he's not going to sell these things for less than it cost him.
	And so, as I point out, the gap between the richest of the rich, as I said yesterday, five richest people, their wealth went up 114% since the globalist lockdowns that Trump went along with.
	And the poorest, 5 billion people.
	Took it on the chin.
	And as they put it in this article from AP, interestingly enough, they put in quotation marks, the gap has been supercharged since the coronavirus pandemic.
	Yeah, supercharged, right?
	And they got a picture of Musk there.
	Bezos, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffett, Elon Musk.
	And of course, where do we have our first billionaire?
	Well, that was John D. Rockefeller.
	And that was in 1916.
	He became the first billionaire.
	And now we're about to have our first trillionaire.
	So, that's how you get rich, is you sell these schemes to governments that give you subsidies.
	And that's what globalism is all about.
	The whole thing is a conspiracy between these large multinational corporations, these globalist billionaires, and the governments.
	It's a partnership.
	It's what they call stakeholder capitalism.
	It's what has been done and tested and proven with the corruption in China, where all the companies that are there have to have a Chinese official as part of it.
	By the way, you want to talk about killing people, killing them with cold is much more effective.
	At least five people die from hypothermia in this most recent thing.
	But global freezing deaths are nine times more common than people who die from heat.
	And you can die from both of these.
	I've talked about in the past when they lost power in Florida.
	With a hurricane that went through.
	And a lot of times the conditions that create hurricanes will also create really hot, muggy weather.
	That's what happened with us up in North Carolina.
	Hurricane Fran. We were so far inland.
	And I've been through so many hurricanes on the coast growing up in Tampa.
	It's just alarmism.
	And it really wasn't a big storm when it got to the Raleigh area.
	We had so much rain.
	It was unbelievable the amount of rain that it brought.
	And even though the winds were only 75 miles an hour, it was knocking over big trees that were more than 100 years old and taking out power lines everywhere and blocking roads everywhere.
	And we lived in a rural area, and we were out of power for about five or six days, and it was unbelievably hot and muggy.
	But in Florida, when you had one of these hurricanes go through not that long ago, We had a lot of people in our nursing home died.
	Because they didn't have, you know, they build these buildings, you know, without windows, with low ceilings, build it for air conditioning.
	And when the air conditioning goes out, it gets really, really hot.
	So I had some people die, but people have been dying for a long time from the hardship.
	When we were debating all this stuff back in, you know, 2000 with a climate gate, and then a couple of years after that, and when we got into the fights with the renewable mandates that came in first in Colorado, we had a lawsuit with a group I was working with at the time.
	I've played some of the videos that I did for them at the time.
	And when we talked about that at that particular time, They'd already gone farther, of course, in Europe than we had.
	And they'd made electricity so expensive that you had German pensioners who were dying of the cold because they couldn't afford to turn on the heat.
	And so, hypothermia, freezing, kills nine times more people than hot weather does.
	But in Texas, they're putting out a warning about more energy rationing alerts.
	And the interesting thing is, one of the critics there, you know, were Texas, which is rich in oil, of course.
	Very rich in natural gas.
	But from when I moved there in 2012, They were just dismantling one, you know, functional power plant.
	They call them fossil fuels. I call them functional fuels.
	Whether it was oil or whether it was gas, I don't think they did that much coal there.
	But they were dismantling these things left and right.
	I was like, wow, that's not good.
	And of course, we saw the results of that three years ago.
	You want to talk about people dying?
	They had... So, about 250, I don't get the numbers here, we'll get to in a minute, about 250 people died in that cold snap when the windmills froze.
	Guess what? The windmills are frozen again.
	Now, I'm not talking about the fact that the cold weather literally iced them up.
	I'm talking about the fact the wind's not blowing.
	You know, I began by talking about how cold it is here.
	And they said wind chill factor minus 15.
	Well, what's the wind going to be? Zero to one miles per hour.
	That's not uncommon.
	And as one person said, it's no secret that the wind pretty much always does this as the temperature drops.
	And if the Texas grid managers don't understand this, then Texas needs new grid managers.
	Yeah. So they don't understand the way it gets really cold.
	You know, it's often the case that the wind stops.
	You know, not always if you're in Chicago, they're constantly got the wind blowing.
	But still, you know, that's the other way that it freezes.
	Just when the wind stops blowing.
	So ERCOT is a company or the organization that runs the Power for Texas, which stands for Electric Reliability Council of Texas.
	A reliability? Why don't you take that word out, and then you can change what the ECOT is.
	It's about energy cronies of Texas, right?
	It's crony capitalism.
	It's the people that these oil billionaires who say, hey, we're going to get on the ground floor of this new thing, and then we're going to ban the other stuff, and we're going to make even more money than if we just kept selling everybody this stuff that we've been doing, right?
	And so they got Rick Perry and Greg Abbott and these other people to build the billions of dollars of infrastructure.
	They say, you go out and you, you know, if you build it, we will come.
	That type of thing. Field of schemes.
	And they built the infrastructure to go out there and charged Texas taxpayers to do that.
	And we wound up with a system there that did not work.
	ERCOT continues to monitor conditions and will provide updates to our communication channels.
	At this time, any outages are local in nature, not related to the overall grid reliability.
	But it's at 85% of the grid supply.
	It is coming from coal, natural gas, and nuclear.
	Wind was about 15%.
	Until the cold snap came, and then it dropped to 7% of the mix.
	Not as bad as when they froze up.
	Greg Abbott said on Friday that the grid infrastructure and the operators are much better positioned to handle the cold snap than was the case with the 2021 winter storm and subsequent crisis that killed, there we are, 240 people.
	240 people in just Texas.
	Well, I think they still are...
	Focused on how they can make money for the globalist billionaires, don't you?
	As a matter of fact, ERCOT has issued their conservation appeal for record-breaking demand, and one of the things that they want you to do is to not turn on your washing machine.
	Is that desperate?
	That's desperate. People say, we're going to see brownouts in major U.S. cities.
	Competition for electricity is now an unstoppable race.
	And, you know, one person said, so why is it when we were told, and you've heard this, it used to drive me nuts a decade ago.
	You know, we'd go around and, again, David Schneer, who was with the organization that I was with, and he had worked for the EPA for 30 years and then retired and opposed them because they were no longer about stopping pollution.
	Which was their original mission.
	They changed their mission statement to stop emissions.
	And so he would go around, he'd ask people, say, what is your favorite form of energy?
	And most people would say electricity.
	He says, no, that's the end product.
	And then he would explain that to them.
	And Then these people would say, well, I like wind and solar because they're free.
	And he's like, they're not free.
	They're really not free.
	It costs a lot.
	It takes a lot of energy to build them.
	It takes a lot. You don't have a, you know, what are you going to do with the broken windmills and all the rest of this stuff?
	But here's where we are right now.
	You know, one person said, why do we continue to have electricity rates going up when we have more and more solar and wind?
	And they're supposed to be free.
	Well, here's the costs.
	There's the cost. So, the average cost per megawatt hour for natural gas, $38.
	That's very clean.
	For nuclear, $114.
	Go from $38 to $114.
	And, you know, growing up, I heard the same stuff with us, right?
	I grew up born in the mid-50s, growing up in the 60s.
	Nuclear power is going to be so plentiful and so cheap we won't even meter it.
	You've probably heard that yourself, right?
	They looked at it and they said, yeah, you know, we could make billions of dollars on this, but nah, we'll just do it for free, right?
	No, it's not cheap.
	And of course, the big expense for nuclear is on the back end.
	What do you do with the waste?
	You got to store and protect and nurture your nuclear waste for a very, very, very long time.
	You know, that was what happened at Fukushima.
	You know, they didn't have a meltdown with a nuclear reactor or anything.
	It was the waste pools that are typically stored on site at the nuclear reactor that were flooded that caused all that issue.
	So, natural gas is $38 per megawatt hour.
	The $114 for nuclear.
	This includes storage and transmission.
	And then for wind, between $291 and $504.
	And for solar, $413 to $1,548.
	Now look, you know, I think solar is a good alternative, especially if you want to get off of the grid.
	But it's the worst alternative for the grid.
	It's, you know, and that's, it all matters how you use this.
	You know, if you want to get independent from the grid for many reasons, for surveillance reasons, you know, and all the rest of this stuff, yeah, solar.
	But not for the grid.
	But they're using it this way because they want to take the grid down.
	And so, again, ERCOT is asking people not to use their washing machines in Texas.
	These guys are desperate.
	I guess we could call these scammers who wrecked the energy system there in Texas, I guess we could call them desperados.
	But there is a solution.
	There is a solution. And thanks to the listener who sent me this.
	I meant to write down his name and thank him for this.
	But he sent me a clip of an article.
	He said, you know, you're right.
	The solution to stopping this stuff is at the local level.
	So many people think, well, we're going to elect people at the federal government.
	And the federal government is going to stand up for American sovereignty against these globalists.
	No, they're bought and sold.
	Many times over, to many different industries, to the pharmaceutical industries, to these other industries as well.
	Washington is completely bought and sold.
	And the people in Washington believe that they're going to be the center of the new world order that they're building.
	And the big multinational corporations have a huge, and banks have a huge presence here as well.
	And they are also going to be partners in this new world order.
	So how do you stop it? We stop it even at the local level.
	Green projects are often blocked at the local level.
	This is coming out of Michigan.
	And so states have really big climate goals, but these people at the local level are working to, quote-unquote, strip their power.
	And they're not talking, you see, the people at the state and federal level and global level are working to strip your power in terms of energy generation.
	The people at the local level are trying to strip their political power to starve you of energy.
	And so this article says, Clean Energy developers had planned a 75-turbine wind farm in mid-Michigan's Montcalm County before local voters shot down the idea in 2022 and then recalled seven local officials who had supported it.
	This can be done in a wide variety of these crony capitalist corrupt schemes.
	And I'm talking about not just wind things, but here in North Carolina, I'm not in North Carolina, Tennessee, the battery energy storage systems.
	Do they want to put in areas where there's a lot of forests and where there's residential areas as a massive Tesla battery backup for their renewables?
	Well, you've got to have the energy before you can really back it up.
	And if this stuff is taken down by a weather storm, even a battery energy storage system isn't going to be around for that much longer.
	But nevertheless, these things are massive fire hazards, and they're massive expenses.
	And they need to be opposed at the local level.
	And so you had opposition to that at the local level here in Tennessee.
	Okay. And in the same way, the local people who had approved it withdrew that approval.
	And then the company said, well, we're going to sue you because you already approved it, so that's going to go to the courts.
	But still, you can recall these people if they do the wrong thing, and they understand that.
	About 150 miles southeast, a person in Monroe County, Michigan, found herself at the center of a similar conflict as the rising medical cost forced her and her husband to consider selling land that her family has owned for 150 years.
	There's so many different ways that they've got to bankrupt us, isn't it?
	And of course, medical bills are a very common one.
	So, leasing a parcel to an incoming solar farm could save the property, but neighboring residents complained so vehemently that she said the township changed its zoning.
	To block the project.
	And again, that brings us back to the push, going back to the 2020 election.
	If you remember, Andrew Yang, who was pushing universal basic income, that was initially his sole issue.
	And then he got on to a lot of other issues, all of them aligned with the globalist agenda.
	Things like getting rid of all zoning laws and having land use dictated by the federal government.
	Andrew Yang is a very dangerous person, but he is a puppet for the globalists.
	And guess who gave him his first money and gave him millions of dollars?
	Well, that would be your benevolent billionaire friend of the conservative movement right now, Elon Musk.
	Another one of these billionaires that all these conservatives are putting their trust in.
	They're looking at him as some kind of a philanthropist that has saved our free speech and all the rest of this stuff.
	I mean, I think he looked at these MAGA people and take a look at expressions on their faces.
	They are fawning over President Trump.
	And he goes... Yeah, there's a lot of suckers there that I could make a power base out of, and I could really fleece them as well, and he's doing a good job of it.
	Getting back to this, though, local restrictions in Michigan derailed more than two dozen utility renewable energy projects as of last May.
	Two dozen. According to a study that was done by a university that's trying to push this stuff, They said nationwide, at least 228 restrictions in 35 states have been imposed at the local level to stop these projects.
	Folks, you're not going to get any help from the feds.
	And you may find, depending on your state government, you may find that the state government aligns with the feds as well, which is what they're seeing here now in Michigan.
	So, again, forget about this horse race between deplorable characters in Washington.
	Focus on what's local.
	Local and state can make things better or much worse.
	The conflicts have hindered many states' aggressive timelines for transitioning to cleaner energy production, with the ultimate goal of eliminating carbon pollution within two decades.
	We have to eliminate these people.
	We have to have, they've got their zeros, right?
	They want to zero so many things out.
	Zero car use and all the rest of the stuff.
	We need to zero out their mandates.
	Maybe that should be the name of the movement.
	The zero mandate movement.
	Michigan and more than a dozen other states are seeking to upend the decision-making process by grabbing the power to supersede local restrictions and to allow state authorities to approve or disapprove locations for utility-scale projects.
	So again, what are they going to do?
	Political power struggle.
	It's a power struggle.
	We're not going to have electric power if they get the political power.
	That's their mission, to shut us down everywhere.
	We can't allow projects of statewide importance critical to our state energy security to be vetoed on purely local concerns.
	Again, it's going to be necessary because they're going to be fought against at the state level.
	It's going to be necessary for people to understand.
	That your real energy security lies in stopping these projects.
	And that's why it's now the time to talk about this during a massive storm.
	You want to have energy? You stop these projects that are sold as energy security.
	They're anything but.
	They said, however, many local officials say that giving states the power to cite large-scale energy projects clashes with cherished U.S. political principles.
	That's right. And with the way the law is right now.
	Local officials, they say, are the public servants who are closest and most directly accountable to voters.
	They argue that it is especially important when it comes to land use and what gets built near homes.
	And so they admit right there, they're the ones who are closest to the voters and what?
	Most accountable to them.
	One thing Elon Musk said was right.
	He said, look, Soros is getting these district attorneys in and these state attorneys in general because that's far more effective way to change the country than spending money on a presidential election.
	And the more local you get, the more accountable these people are, the more power you have.
	That's why I try to keep focusing on this.
	I can't tell you.
	Who's good or bad in your area?
	You've got to figure that out. There may not be any good people in your area.
	So find some good ones and support them or run yourself and get other people to support you.
	But when we look at this, of course, the windmills, it's not just the fact that they don't work.
	The windmills of your mind also collapse, catch fire, and other things, as I've shown many times.
	There's one turbine in Colorado wind farm.
	Collapses. And then bursts into flames.
	Ha! It really got people's attention because it's really big and it had a really big crash and a really big fire because everything, look at the size of that thing compared to the trucks in front of it.
	Pickup truck in front of it.
	Looks like a little toy truck.
	So I guess we haul this thing off now to the landfill because reuse, recycle doesn't work.
	But of course, the so-called environmentalists don't care about that.
	While we're talking about fires, this was sent to me by David Weatherby, who used to be in Canada.
	He said, Toronto, and it's an article from Toronto, the fire chief warns of lithium-ion battery risk.
	After an e-bike fire on the subway, I think the fire chief is going to have to tell them, we don't want to have any e-bikes, no Molotov cocktails, or other flammable devices on board the subway.
	Can you imagine being on a subway and having one of these things burst into fire?
	The fire was caused by the failure of a lithium-ion battery powering an e-bike.
	The fire is toxic, of course. There's been an increase in these.
	He said there were 55 fires in the city last year that resulted from lithium-ion battery failures, up from 29 the year before.
	It's because they have so many more of these things that are out there.
	And so the bottom line, and we'll finish with this, this headline from Zero Hedge, Seeking Green Utopia.
	The US and the EU are quietly killing vital industries.
	Even trying to kill our vittles.
	Our food, right?
	Eat the bugs. German CO2 emissions are the lowest since the 1950s.
	So, is this a success?
	Or is it a failure?
	Well, here's what Bill Gates thinks.
	I'm here in July, and of course I flew in on my private jet.
	Very, very important meeting.
	The issue of you peasants eating bugs will be discussed at length.
	That's never gotten the attention it deserves.
	The issue of COVID-19 not killing off enough poor people and my vaccines not weeding out the rest of you bastards, which is a tragedy, of course.
	We'll talk about using killer robots next.
	Chad, absolutely solve that problem.
	Yeah. There are some good uses for AI, aren't there?
	We'll be right back.

	And I played that at that point in time because I had a supporter who asked me about that song.
	Paul D., thank you very much for the check we got.
	I've got a list of some other people who have sent checks.
	I want to read that out real quickly.
	About ten people.
	But he said, what's the name of the mandolin composition?
	Well, that that you just heard there is Heart of the Heartland.
	And it's by Paul Ostruka.
	I think is the way you pronounce his name.
	He was somebody that would make the rounds on PBS, the Prairie Home Companion, I think.
	But it was because of that, I guess it was Ken Burns picked him up and he used that song in the Lewis and Clark documentary that he did.
	That's where I picked that up.
	I really like that song.
	And so that's my cover of it.
	I stuck very close to what he did, except I had to shorten it.
	I shortened it up a little bit.
	I try to shorten these things up, you know, for the breaks.
	And so there's like another verse that he does in his arrangement that has a slide guitar But I took that out and then I added strings on the finale there.
	But I played all the instruments on that and pulled that off of the record.
	And then he asked, what keyboard do you use?
	I'm just curious. It's a...
	I don't even remember the name of it.
	I've had it for years now.
	But it's a MIDI keyboard.
	It's a weighted keyboard. And so if you play piano, that's what you want to get.
	Otherwise, it feels like an organ.
	So it's an 88-key weighted keyboard.
	It's by Native Instruments.
	And I got it at the time because there were so, at the time, that was kind of the standard for virtual instruments, although they've moved.
	Everybody, I guess, got tired of paying them royalties.
	And so everybody is building their own construct to use for the virtual instruments.
	But at that time, it had a few things on it that made it work a little bit better with the Native Instruments stuff.
	So it's a Native Instruments weighted keyboard.
	It's 88 keys. But it's great because you can get this amazing...
	Samples of keyboards that you can find, you know, from organs to pianos to electric pianos and other keyboards from the 70s and things like that that really sound great and have a lot of flexibility in them.
	You can get Hammond B3 organs or you can get church organs and all this other kind of stuff.
	The controls, of course, are...
	Not going to be exactly as good as the controls on the Hammond, but you've got a lot of different changes that you can make with it.
	Thank you. Oh, Karen told me that it was a complete keyboard.
	Okay, well, that's, I guess, the model that they've got of it.
	But let me thank the people who sent checks real quickly.
	Of course, Paul D. that we just mentioned, Susan L., Jack H., Scott C., Leon and Glenda W., Jody E., Lloyd P., and Charlie at APS. Thank you all.
	And by the way, Alexander W., he sent some money with Zelle, and he wasn't sure if it was getting through, and he asked me to mention that I got it.
	I've not put together a list of all the people on Zelle, but thank you very much, Alexander.
	That was very generous. I appreciate it.
	And we did get it through Zelle.
	So, thank you. And I'd say that, you know, the money that we get through Chex and through Zelle, there is no fee attached to that like there are in other things.
	But it is still very important for us.
	If you want to support us on a regular basis, Subscribestar is a key thing.
	And... You can find links to all those different places, our P.O. Box, as well as where we are on Subscribestar and the Zelle.
	You can find all that at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	And of course you can find links to the show and audio format as well as where we post it and video formats on BitChute, on Odyssey, and on Rumble, and links to the live show.
	And so you'll find all that there as well as links to the podcast because I found that when I go to the podcast, I don't really show up if I type it in there.
	So it's very hard for me to find the show on the various podcasts.
	There's so many different podcasts out there.
	So, it would be a big help to us, if you listen on podcasts, to like the podcast, even leave a nice comment.
	That would help a great deal.
	Might help with our visibility there.
	Who knows? Let's talk a little bit about news before we get into...
	Pharmaceutical stuff and elections.
	This is just kind of general stuff.
	I thought this was very interesting.
	Sent to me again by a listener.
	And it is the fact that feds are banning humorous electronic messages on highways.
	Now, many times we've seen these...
	Here's what this went with the article, the news thing there.
	This is part of the sign thing.
	And you've seen these things hacked in the past where they'll put warning zombies ahead or warning raptors ahead or something like this or a message like this.
	I won't repeat, but you get the idea.
	That's what the signs look like, right?
	They're not the big signs up above, but they're the ones that are on the road sign.
	And the reason that happens all the time, and I know because they did a little bit of work for the North Carolina Department of Transportation with a company that I was with, and they were laughing about what happened, and it happened to them a lot.
	They put these signs out.
	And they never change the passcode.
	And oh, by the way, Paul D. said, please, more Goat Tree.
	And that, I forgot to read that.
	That reminded me of Goat Tree because he's talking about the fact that they typically don't change the passwords on railroad switching equipment or anything like that, which is far more serious.
	And if they do change the password, they'll typically write it in some booth somewhere, right?
	So they don't forget it and it becomes a hassle.
	So, typically, they put these signs out there, and they're still the same password that it ships with.
	And, of course, if you've got the manual, you can see what the default password that it ships with is.
	And so, they've been doing that as hackers, okay, doing that quite a bit.
	But that's not about this.
	This is about the federal government telling the departments of transportation in each individual state That they can't put up humorous messages.
	For example, in Massachusetts, that put up, use ya blinka, right?
	Y-A-H-B-L-I-N-K-A-H in Massachusetts.
	Or in Ohio, this one, visiting in-laws?
	Slow down. Get there late.
	Ha! Instead of just telling you, don't speed, right?
	In Pennsylvania, don't drive star-spangled hammered.
	Instead of don't drive drunk.
	Another one in New Jersey, hocus-pocus drive with focus.
	And then this one, hands on the wheel, not on your meal.
	Well, the feds don't like that.
	And we're talking serious stuff here, right?
	You need to be serious with your directives.
	And as this new directive that has come out from the Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, which is part of the Department of Transportation, which is who runs the U.S. Department of Transportation?
	None other than Booty Gay himself.
	And he apparently doesn't have any sense of humor about this stuff.
	They put out an 1,100-page manual.
	And it spells out the rules of how signs and other traffic control devices are regulated.
	Administration officials said overhead electronic signs with obscure meaning, references to pop culture or those intended to be funny, will be banned by 2026.
	They're giving you just a couple years to wipe that smile off of your face.
	I would suggest that what these...
	What these state officials should put on the sign is something like Bart Simpson.
	I will not make jokes.
	I will not make jokes. I will not make jokes.
	I could do that up there hundreds of times before they pull the plug on them in 2026.
	And as, of course, the government...
	Doesn't have any sense of irony or even hypocrisy.
	When they put out an 1100-page manual, and in this, they demand that these signs be simple, direct, brief, legible, and clear.
	That's what the 1100-page manual tells them.
	And don't make any jokes.
	This is serious stuff here, right?
	I mean, come on, really.
	Would Adolf Hitler make jokes?
	Or Mussolini?
	Or Stalin? No.
	And they don't like people who laugh at them either, right?
	That's the key thing. Arizona has more than 300 electric signs above its highways, and for the last seven years, the State Department of Transportation has held a contest to find the funniest and most creative messages.
	Anybody could submit ideas, and they got more than 3,700 entries last year.
	The winners were, Seatbelts Always Pass a Vibe Check, That doesn't seem to be too funny.
	And I'm just a sign asking drivers to use turn signals.
	And so a state representative there said, the humor part of it we kind of like to have.
	And he says, I don't really understand why the feds are all getting so fussy about this.
	He said, why are you trying to have the federal government come in and tell us what we can and cannot do in our own state?
	Prime example that the federal government is not focusing on what they need to be focused on.
	Well, again, how is the federal government going to put out their mandate for no jokes?
	No jokes. And seriously, you know, they don't have a sense of humor.
	Look, we've got a guy who got a jail sentence over a Hillary Clinton meme.
	And it was exactly the same joke that somebody else had made about Trump and voting.
	He made that same joke about Hillary and voting.
	You know, don't forget to vote on Wednesday, you know, the day after the election.
	Somebody else had already done that with Trump.
	But of course, the person who made the joke about Hillary gets a jail sentence.
	The other person doesn't even, you know, get called on that.
	And so how are the feds going to get this done?
	They don't have the authority to do this.
	The 10th Amendment is in their way.
	So how will they do it?
	Well, they'll do it the same way that Obama put boys in the girls' bathroom.
	With bribes and with blackmail, with cash.
	They'll do it the same way that Trump locked everybody down, put masks on your faces and so forth.
	They'll do it with bribes.
	And then later, Biden jumps in with blackmail.
	It's always about the money.
	That is always how the government gets around the 10th Amendment.
	And that's why when they planned this whole thing, Going back to 2001, two months before 9-11, they had the dark winter thing, and then the false flag a week after 9-11 of anthrax.
	And then two months later, they put out the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act, and that was telling the states, get ready to do this.
	Give yourself some legal authority that you don't have, but put it in a state law, because there's going to be a time where we're going to punt this to you.
	We'll give you the money, and then you run the tyranny.
	That's how it's always done.
	This is what is so frustrating about talking to these Trump supporters.
	You look at the people on social media, listen to them talk.
	They hate the jab. They hate all the lockdowns and the masks and all the rest of the stuff, the social distancing from 2020, but they love the guy who gave it to them.
	It's insane. In Toronto, before we do that, some of the comments on weather.
	Rumble, 0161, I've been iced in since Saturday morning.
	Power is currently off and water has been off for four days.
	Oh, sorry to hear that.
	I don't know. Tell us where you are.
	On RockFant, Handy says it's cold and flu season.
	Nothing abnormal about that.
	Hospital ERs are moderately busy, but again, not abnormal this time of year.
	And of course, Handy has been...
	Talking about and blogging about what he saw as an EMS technician there in the Atlanta area, and it truly is criminal what was done to us.
	It's so much bigger than even just the masks and the lockdowns.
	It's the medical protocols, the bribery of the hospitals that kill people.
	And, of course, the drugs like remdesivir and the ventilators and the rest of the stuff.
	Rumble, Point Man Patriot says, It will be of little avail to the people that laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.
	Absolutely right. And he quotes somebody, I don't know who that is, Jay Mahdi, but I've always, and I don't know who said this quote, but I've used that many times.
	A law that is sufficiently complex is the same as no law at all.
	Just take a look at the IRS code, right?
	Call the IRS. I'm not giving you advice.
	I'm not jumping into that brow patch.
	I don't know what the law is either.
	I'm not telling you anything.
	You're not going to get my name and use me to give you a pass.
	But then when you go in for an audit, oh, well, it's all very subjective, isn't it?
	Do they like you or do they dislike you?
	Because the law is so complex they can do whatever they want.
	In Toronto, going back to Toronto again, they have banned tobogganing on 45 hills.
	And put up warning signs.
	Well, that's pretty amazing, you know?
	The Roman Empire only had seven hills there in Rome.
	They got 45 in Toronto, and you better not slide down any of them during the winter.
	This is from Reason Magazine.
	Talk about a slippery slope, they said.
	Toronto recently erected warning signs on 45 hills around the city that read, Tobogganing is not allowed.
	Um... Hazards such as trees, stumps, rocks, rivers, or roads make this hill unsafe.
	Well, when we had our video story in Cary, North Carolina, you know, it's kind of like it is here.
	We rarely have snowstorms.
	And when they do, sometimes they last for a few days.
	But even if it doesn't, because people are not accustomed to the snow and there's no snow removal equipment and nobody knows how to drive in it, everything comes to a halt.
	And so, close to where our video store was, there was a neighborhood that had a very steep hill going down into a cul-de-sac.
	And school was out, and nobody was driving around.
	But the parents were out as well, and they were there with their kids.
	And, you know, the kids were having a great time sledding down this hill.
	And again, parents all over the place.
	And the Cary police decided...
	Those days are probably still the same.
	They didn't have much of anything to do as far as crime goes.
	So they could kind of become like Barney Fife, you know.
	Get focused on really small things and, you know, really get their hair on the back of their neck standing straight up if you didn't do exactly what they said to do when they barked the orders.
	And so they show up to this hill.
	And they decided, like the city of Toronto has decided, that it was too dangerous.
	For these kids to be tobogganing down.
	You know, a car might come by.
	Don't do that.
	And the parents said, no, they're fine.
	No, I told you that you're not going to have these kids out here going down.
	And it wound up with the parents and the kids throwing snowballs at the police and driving them away.
	And that made the paper there.
	It was... But, you know, that's just what they're doing in Toronto now.
	That was 38 years ago in Kerry.
	So now in Toronto, the fear of liability is ruining modern childhood, said a mom of two.
	I used to toboggan all the time with friends when I was a kid, and it was one of my favorite parts about winter.
	Well, you know, you shoot your eye out, kid.
	There are too many nanny rules aimed at making the world so safe.
	That people, and especially kids, are not allowed to do anything outdoors but sit on a bench.
	Oh, no, don't sit on a bench outside.
	It's too cold. Go inside.
	Sit in front of the TV so we can program you.
	Not only do kids lose out when trees become an obstacle to outdoor fun, says Reason, but so does the city itself.
	Anti-tobogganing legislation makes Toronto move in the direction of No Fun City.
	Again, no jokes on signs.
	Ha! No tobogganing allowed anywhere.
	Last year, the city put up bales of hay around trees on the popular hill to avoid crashes.
	Now tobogganing is banned on that hill, of course.
	This reminds me of the other extreme, Daytona Beach.
	And I've got a clip of that that I play here sometimes.
	And I was just amazed when we went there in 2015.
	I had grown up and next to this area where I live now, that was our next go-to place to take a trip.
	It was fairly close.
	We lived in Tampa, so just right across the state.
	And one of the reasons that we liked Daytona Beach was because you could drive cars on the beach.
	And of course, that's where the Daytona 500 race originally came from.
	It was originally a race on the beach.
	They had one leg of the race was on the beach that has hard compressed sand.
	A return leg was on the road, the highway that was there, A1A, I think is the name of it.
	And then you had the curved parts where it was really soft sand, and that's where things got really difficult for them.
	But now they don't let anybody, even though people were racing on this thing for the longest time before they built the stadium or whatever you want to call it, that's purpose-built for the Daytona 500.
	They don't let anybody drive on that.
	And they charge you to drive in other areas that are far away from it.
	And when I say far away from it, the center of it was always the boardwalk, which was an elevated place and had a lot of restaurants and things like that.
	But people would always drive there.
	That was kind of the center of it, although there were hotels all the way down.
	And so this is what's happening everywhere.
	No fun anywhere. Locking everything down.
	I think it's a sign.
	What's going on here, isn't it?
	Last year, the city put up bale of hay, but I'm not going to do it now.
	Memories of a fun place have been yanked away from families in Toronto, said one person.
	It's not just tobogganing. Toronto's team of experts advises that anyone crazy enough to even think about going sledding to always check for hazards like bumps and bare spots, as well as ice-covered areas.
	That pretty much covers everything, doesn't it?
	As they say on Reason, the city also warns any not-yet-daunted tobogganers to never use a plastic disc to slide down a hill.
	And don't bring your family dog either, as animals may get excited.
	All children should be supervised by an adult.
	No humans or animals are to be excited or to have any fun whatsoever.
	Well, here, the other part of domination, of course, is language and purging things.
	What is this that you found?
	Okay, there we go. There's a professional tobogganer.
	The clip that Travis found.
	What's that from, Travis?
	I don't remember. It was Christmas vacation.
	Oh, Christmas Vacation.
	Okay. Haven't watched that for a while.
	That's Chevy Jason, the thing.
	He somehow has missed all the trees so far, but we know how that's going to end.
	Anyway, it's also about dominating people and removing history and also naming things, right?
	And that's what they're working on here in the Smoky Mountains.
	They want to rename Clingman's Dome.
	Clingman's Dome is the highest peak in the Smokies.
	And thank you, Jackie, for sending this to me.
	I've not seen this. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Council wants to rename Clingman's Dome.
	And Jackie comments and says, I'm fine with this as long as they cut off their utilities, crush their cars, stop using modern medicine, and go back to living in teepees.
	Well, Jackie, that's what they want us to do with the climate.
	And they'll change the name of everything as well.
	They voted unanimously, the Tribal Council did, on a resolution to approve a name change from Clingman's Dome to Kuwohi.
	And they passed that vote on January the 4th.
	That is Cherokee for Mulberry Place.
	But I think there may be something else involved in this.
	In this article that was done, local paper, they don't say...
	Who was Klingman, right?
	I think there might be some clues as to why they want to rename this peak.
	See, Klingman was a U.S. Senator who, when the Civil War came around, fought on the side of the Confederacy as a Brigadier General, as a matter of fact.
	And then after the war, he led an expedition to determine the height of Klingman's Dome.
	And it was something of a tradition that the people who would figure out the height of these things would have it named after them.
	And that's what happened with this particular one.
	You know, it was something that the Cherokee never bothered to measure the height of these things.
	They're just collecting mulberries, I guess.
	But, you know, they figure out the height of it.
	They name the hill after them, or the dome, or the mountain peak.
	And he's not the only one that did that.
	There was another guy who was a geologist, and his name was Buckley.
	And he figured out the height of the second highest peak there in the Smoky Mountains.
	And they named that Mount Buckley.
	And so, maybe they will try to change that as well.
	But right now they're coming after the one that was named after a Confederate general.
	I think we kind of know why.
	And which is, you know, the Cherokee were on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War.
	But it follows in a tradition from the U.S. Department of the Interior.
	They renamed Mount McKinley.
	Mount Denali, because that was an Indian name that they had out there.
	So we'll see what happens with this.
	County commissioners in both Tennessee and North Carolina support the efforts of the Cherokee to rename this because I guess these local politicians decided that this was not a hill to die on.
	But we've got zoning board orders that are being overturned.
	I'm sorry. Zoning boards are overturning private property that is happening.
	This is also Reason Magazine.
	a town zoning board in New Hampshire has decided that they're going to kick out two tenants who have been living in an apartment for more than a decade.
	And they're not wealthy.
	I mean, this is not like some kind of a rent control thing in New York.
	This was a cluster of small apartments, and there were 13 of them.
	And because they suddenly discovered last summer that according to their records, there were 12, and now there's 13, at some point decades ago, they subdivided one of these small apartments.
	And so these two people who are gonna get kicked out on the street had 500 square foot apartments.
	Very tiny apartments. They took one of these small apartments and cut it in half.
	And they've been living there for 10 weeks.
	But of course, that cannot be tolerated.
	The real estate investor who owns the apartments said, we have a major housing crisis and we've got a severe shortage of housing around the state and in this town of Claremont.
	But by the city's request, we have to kick two tenants out here.
	Who have been there for many, many years, and who have called it their home for more than a decade.
	And so, these are 100-year-old buildings, and then, again, they subdivided them.
	The response from the zoning board was, said, yeah, we are in a housing crunch, but that doesn't mean we can bend our codes.
	Because their rules are more important than people, of course.
	Their authority, their power is more important than people.
	If I was to make an exception for you, I'd have to do that for everybody.
	That would weaken my power.
	It would kind of make me look like a human or something.
	I don't know what it is. Here in Tennessee, lawmakers are proposing legislation banning banks and credit card companies from tracking purchases of guns and ammo.
	Well, what is this about?
	We've talked about this in the past, and this is another aspect of nullification, folks.
	Very important. This nullification is being done at the state level.
	Sorry, it's been done in some other states, but it's coming here in Tennessee.
	It was in response to New York State trying to nullify your God-given rights to own and possess firearms and ammunition.
	That's protected by the Constitution.
	And how did New York State do it?
	They did it in collusion with big banks and with multinational NGOs, non-governmental organizations.
	What they did, if you remember that, a few years ago, they came up with a scheme.
	New York Attorney General, California Attorney General said, you know, if we can put a code and get them to make this part of the standard codes, this is the International Standards Organization, ISO, based in Switzerland, and they assign codes to different things that are used for financial transactions.
	If we can do that, there wasn't anything there for guns or ammunition because, you know, it's pretty much controlled in the rest of the world, so it's pretty difficult to buy guns and ammunition.
	But here in the U.S., it's very common, and so they wanted to stop people from doing that.
	So they lobbied the banks and the banks lobbied the ISO and they got it put in.
	And so what was the response to, and that was, again, an effort led by people like Letitia James, that hyper-political state attorney general.
	Look at how much chaos and manipulation money can buy from George Soros when you look at these people.
	That tells you how important these state and local elections are.
	And so you have a state that tries to do this end run around the Second Amendment, making it difficult using banks and international organizations.
	And so some other states have responded to this by putting in these prohibitions of the banks keeping track of that.
	So they outlawed that.
	And their state area.
	And so now you've got two state reps in Tennessee.
	Todd Warner is in the House and in the Senate.
	Joey Hensley introduced legislation last Wednesday that would prohibit banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions from tracking purchases of firearms.
	And, of course, they want to do this as part of an intimidation and also as part of the surveillance state.
	So the state bill would make it, quote, an unfair or deceptive trade practice for any financial institution to require a firearms retailer to use firearms-specific transaction codes.
	And again, the industry, or I should say New York, created this new credit card merchant category recently.
	recently, and this was previously paused in March of last year when you had companies including American Express, MasterCard, and Visa abandoning their plans after legislation banning the tracking of those who buy and sell weapons and ammunition passed in several states, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, West Virginia.
	The Tenth Amendment Center notes that similar legislation also exists in Idaho, North Dakota, Montana.
	And so you've got one, two, three, four, five states that you're not going to do it here.
	And now we've got another four that are about to do it.
	This is what's called nullification.
	And this is how you nullify the globalist agenda.
	This is how you nullify the conspiracies of these bankers and these Democrats.
	And these NGOs.
	So federal lawmakers were very happy with this when it went through.
	They said, quote, a clear government expectation that networks will utilize the new merchant category code to conduct mass surveillance of constitutionally protected firearms and ammunition purchases in cooperation with law enforcement.
	That's what they had previously said.
	The more states that ban such codes, more likely as this program gets scrapped permanently, says the 10th Amendment Center.
	Have you heard any presidential candidates talk about that?
	Any GOP? Did they say, you know, we've got to stop this globalist banker agenda from the Democrats to track and intimidate people and create a database of people who are buying guns and ammunition?
	Even if you went into a gun and ammunition store, even if you didn't buy ammunition or a gun, they still put you on the list.
	Have you heard any of the presidential candidates address that?
	Me neither. Isn't that interesting?
	So many vital issues.
	They're AWOL. AWOL. And so, this is why I say, focus on state and local people.
	Get good people into office.
	So, they're not even going to talk about it.
	If you want liberty, you're going to have to decentralize the power.
	You're going to stop this consolidation of power and this centralization that's been going on for quite some time.
	After the move to adopt the new merchant codes went public in 2023, The Tennessee Firearms Association said, consumers should pay cash whenever possible, and if you can trade chickens for them, trade chickens.
	If you can write a check and avoid that 3% surcharge that a lot of merchants now charge for using a credit card, well, they charge even more than that.
	Some save everybody 3%, but absolutely, if you can avoid the credit card, just like Dave Ramsey says, do it.
	So trade them a chicken or whatever you can for your gun.
	But we've already seen Bank of America do this, right?
	Even before Letitia James, going back to January the 6th, they essentially did their own geofence warrant.
	The FBI didn't ask them for the information.
	Bank of America did it voluntarily and sent that to them.
	And then they sent a list to them and said, here are all the people who have made purchases that At a firearms place.
	They didn't even have the code.
	Bank of America did that.
	So this story here from Reclaim the Net was how a typo and a geofence warrant endangered the privacy of a lot of people.
	Well, as I've said many times, Terry Gilliam's movie Brazil that came out in 1984 was his Monty Python-like take on totalitarianism, and it begins with a typo error.
	There's a typo error here. In that movie, you know, you've got these clunky, it's a ruthless dictatorship.
	Their technology is clunky, and they've got these typewriters, manual typewriters, and instead of big screen TVs, they've got a Fresnel lens in front of a small screen TV, all that kind of stuff.
	But because, you know, technological innovation gets stymied in these totalitarian societies as well.
	At the very beginning, they're typing up these different warrants.
	Thank you, Travis, for pulling this up, and people can see kind of what I'm doing.
	But at the very beginning of it, this guy's typing this thing up, and the fly drops down off the ceiling as the guy swats it into the typewriter.
	And instead of buttle, instead of tuttle, it says buttle.
	And they send out a SWAT team, ruthless SWAT team, to the wrong address.
	That's how the movie begins.
	And that's a particular one.
	They've got a geofence warrant and they've got a typo.
	The typo in it said two miles over San Francisco.
	That would include any businesses, private homes, and places of worship in the area.
	But again, it's not just this typo.
	It's geofence warrants in general.
	Treating every human that happens to be in a given location as a potential suspect.
	What could be wrong about that?
	Well, besides the fact that it's an obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment, which says that if you get a search warrant, you've got to go before a judge.
	And you've got to be specific about the person, place, and things that you're going to be searching for and searching in, all the rest of that stuff.
	It turns out the rule of innocent until proven guilty is turned on its head.
	And this is the case of all these things.
	But, of course, geospatial intelligence...
	Which nobody ever talks about.
	They're now talking about geofence warrants, but really geospatial intelligence was always about mapping people's political beliefs as well as their religious beliefs and anything else that they wanted to do.
	It was all about mapping you, and that's been the fastest growing part of the spy agencies since the 1990s.
	In addition, while we're talking about guns, you have Letitia James again.
	And leading a lot of a multi-state coalition of 20 state attorneys general to try to stop the federal government from selling 556 ammo to civilians.
	And this is coming from Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, a Missouri-based supplier for the U.S. military.
	So this is not something that's directly owned by the military.
	During the Obama administration... It was very alarming to me because Obama, for the first time in his administration, they seemed to focus on ammunition.
	And so Fort Drum, New York, was a place where they started this.
	And they decided that they would stop the recycling of, well, it wasn't even recycling of brass, but spent brass from the military and It was frequently sold back into retail manufacturers who would use it to cut their costs down and to manufacture more ammunition.
	And so they just cut that off at Fort Trump.
	And it created a big stink and then you got some senators involved and they reversed that.
	But what it showed you...
	Was how the Obama administration was going to be focusing on ammunition.
	Because if you've got a gun, but you don't have any ammunition, you've basically got a club.
	You're like Davy Crockett at the Alamo at the very end.
	And that's the way they want you.
	So, you know, they tried to stop it with that and did that temporarily.
	So here you've got a contractor for the U.S. military.
	And they want to tell them, well, we're not going to buy your stuff unless you stop selling to the public.
	Strong-arming them in that way.
	They'll go through the banks, they'll go through the contractors, and all the rest of this stuff.
	By the way, at Fort Drum, the plan was to, rather than to take that spent brass and sell it to ammunition manufacturers, they decided that they would just crush it into scrap brass and sell it to the Chinese at a tiny fraction of what they could sell it for reloading.
	Billions of rounds of military-grade ammunition manufactured at Lake City Armory Ammunition Plant have been sold on the commercial market, leading to their use in many of the most tragic mass shootings in recent history, said this shameful New York Attorney General Letitia James.
	Well, I imagine it's also been used to improve people's accuracy so they don't hit the wrong people.
	It's also, as every other firearm has been used, It's been used to take down some dangerous individuals, maybe even by law enforcement.
	And it is also there to protect innocent life.
	But they ignore that part of it.
	So they're trying to stop it and use their leverage.
	They said all signatories express their desire on these 21 state attorneys general to restrict civilian access to ammunition commonly used in the AR-15 style rifles.
	Ammunition from Lake City is manufactured for military use and does not belong in our communities.
	Well, the R-15, that's a military weapon, shouldn't be used.
	But of course, if you go back and look at some of the seminal unconstitutional court decisions to try to stop our possession of firearms, if you go back to the Miller case, A sought-off shotgun.
	And they set that whole thing up.
	The guy was a convicted felon multiple times.
	They had a regulation that said you can't have a sought-off shotgun.
	And their rationale was that it wasn't a military weapon.
	Isn't that interesting? You can't have a sought-off shotgun because it's not a military weapon.
	And here we are, 100 years later.
	Well, you can't have the AR-15 because it has been used by the military.
	And you can't have that ammunition either.
	And of course, in that particular case, it was an obvious setup.
	The defendant died before the case became before the Supreme Court, and it should have been a moot issue, but they went ahead and took it anyway, and there was nobody arguing the other side.
	And they used that to support early forms of gun control.
	But it was also a lie because a sawed-off shotgun had been used in both World War I and in the Civil War.
	But nevertheless, they said this is manufactured for military use.
	Well, again, in the early 20th century, the courts are saying, well, you can't have a gun if it's not for military use because the Constitution refers to the militia.
	A well-regulated militia.
	The feds should actually be giving away this ammunition and teaching people how to use firearms and giving people firearms, giving people weapons and teaching us how to use it.
	That's what the militia is about.
	That's what a well-regulated, well-trained, well-organized militia is really about.
	But Democrats want to prohibit militias altogether.
	Because they're not too fond of the Constitution either.
	They don't like militias and they don't like the Constitution.
	Senator Ed Markey and Congressman Jamie Raskin have put together this thing called the PPPAA, Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act.
	By the way, Senator Ed Markey, back in 2012, he was a congressman.
	And in North Carolina, where I was, Ed Markey created this little dog and pony show about the EPA. And they were trying to extend regulations to ban more diesel emissions and things like that.
	And so he created this little hearing where he brought in Lisa Jackson, who was Obama's head of the EPA. And they'd worked out this little dialogue, and he even stepped on some of her lines so you could tell that they'd rehearsed this thing before.
	And they were saying that more people are dying from fine particulate matter coming from diesel fuel than are dying from heart attacks and cancer and all the rest of the stuff.
	You see, this is why it was so easy, for me at least, to see what was going on with this pandemic.
	I've seen all of that stuff before.
	They just keep running the same, because it works.
	It works. I mean, if you're a football team and you run this play against the other side and they just fall down and they don't know where to go, what to do, you keep running that play.
	And they keep running this play.
	And he was a congressman at the time.
	And Lisa Jackson was saying, yes, Senator, I'm not talking about people getting sick.
	I'm talking about people dying.
	And more people are dying from fine particulate matter than are dying from heart and cancer and all these other diseases, right?
	Full-faced lie. As a matter of fact, did a report on it.
	And I still have that report, and I still have a screenshot which they scrubbed.
	Which showed, when they talked about fine particulate matter, they showed the Smoky Mountains, and they said, this is an example of fine particulate matter.
	No, the Smoky Mountains were smoky long before we had diesel engines or internal combustion engines, long before any Europeans came.
	They were smoky. Anyway, she was, at that very time, the EPA placed there in Research Triangle Park, where I was, was hooking people up to diesel exhaust.
	They took out the carbon monoxide so they wouldn't kill them outright.
	They hooked them up to diesel exhaust.
	Steve Malloy, who has Junk Science, I've interviewed him many times, discovered it.
	They were looking for people who had heart and respiratory issues to begin with.
	And then they exposed them to levels of fine particulate matter that were 72 times what the EPA allowed.
	And they wanted to get people who were going to be sick and have to be taken to the hospital so they could up those regulations.
	And that's what Markey was doing.
	So now he's focused on guns as a senator.
	And they want to prohibit privately organized groups publicly patrolling, drilling, or engaging in harmful or deadly paramilitary techniques.
	They also want to prohibit interfering with or interrupting government proceedings.
	That's your January the 6th reference there.
	And, of course, they outright reference The Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters and their talks about this.
	Or interfering in the exercise of somebody else's constitutional rights.
	Wait a minute. It's the Congress that's interfering with the exercise of my constitutional rights all the time.
	And this bill especially.
	The bill makes exceptions for members of the National Guard, LOL. That's not the militia.
	Not the militia at all.
	The groups formed solely to conduct military reenactments either.
	Oh, okay. So, better get your Confederate uniform.
	And your flag for your exemption.
	I'm exempt! Yeah, and just keep that on hand just in case they invade us again, okay?
	Patrolling neighborhoods, impeding law enforcement, storming the U.S. Capitol.
	Private military groups like the Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, and Proud Boys are using political violence to intimidate our people and threaten democratic government and the rule of law, said Raskin.
	Well, I don't know. It seems like our government also uses political violence to intimidate people and to terrorize people, don't you think?
	And the interesting thing is, of course, before January 6th, which I don't want to talk about, as there were riots that were breaking out, In various places, Oath Keepers went to private businesses and they protected them.
	They didn't have to shoot anybody.
	They just stood there with the business owners.
	Because as we know, I think it was George Washington who said, the mere presence of firearms restrains evil.
	It does a great job of restraining evil looters as well.
	It really does. Because, again, Jamie Raskin and Markey are not going to do anything to restrain the looters.
	They call them mostly peaceful.
	Well, they were mostly peaceful after the armed individuals showed up and just stood there.
	They also point out in this Epic Times article, they said individuals have also engaged in non-violent protest events while exercising their right to carry firearms in public.
	And, of course, that happened at the Alamo, where you had the San Antonio police were harassing people who were doing open carry, and they were doing that.
	This is before they passed constitutional carry.
	For pistols, you could still do it.
	For rifles, you could carry openly.
	But they were harassing people and arresting them in violation of the Constitution, even the state law at the time.
	And so there was a massive...
	Rally there, and everybody showed up with their rifles there at the Alamo.
	And it was very peaceful.
	And as my sons pointed out, the only time that we covered a big demonstration, and it wasn't a violent one, was when the protesters were carrying firearms.
	It seems to be a way to bring peace to it all.
	The TSA is rolling out big plans on digital ID, and I thought it was kind of interesting the way they put this, to streamline travelers' experiences.
	Has that been your experience with the TSA?
	Does it streamline your travel experiences?
	No, and of course there are no threats to airports or airplanes, as they pointed out in 2011 in one of their documents that accidentally they released.
	And if there were any threats to airports or airplanes, they're bunching everybody up together would be one of the biggest security threats that there are.
	But of course there's not any threats.
	And in their own tests, they show that well over 90% of the time, they miss the stuff that they would normally be trying to scan.
	So you've got nine states now that are using digital identities and mobile licenses, but of course, they're going to ramp this up.
	And now you can see what the goal is, right?
	You know that they want to lock us into the 15-minute area.
	Into their smart cities, but even subdividing the smart cities into 15-minute areas.
	They want to completely immobilize us.
	And this has been the goal of all of this stuff.
	It's not about keeping us safe.
	It's about putting us in an open-air prison.
	And so we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Whether you're feeling like the blues...
	APS Radio has you covered.
	Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APS radio.com
	Music playing...
	You're listening to the David Knight Show!
	Night Show.
	Let's talk a little bit about the aftermath of the election, because there's something more important here.
	Then, who got how many votes?
	Something very interesting about Ramaswamy.
	But I'll begin here with this letter from Don, who talks about these willfully blind Trump sheeple supporters.
	And he sent this picture to me.
	He says, In Isaiah, God complains about people who are willfully blind and very much pleased with their own delusion.
	A people that provokes to wrath.
	Lying children. Children that will not hear.
	See not. And to them that behold, behold not, because those things that are right.
	And so, when we look at this, you know, they love to talk about anybody that opposes Trump as having Trump derangement syndrome.
	And you see the MAGA people all the time talking about TDS. Well, I think they've got another TDS. Trump delusion.
	And they've got it strong.
	And God said, I will send a strong delusion to these people.
	And I think they've got a bad case of it, don't you?
	And then we've got this from Mary Talley Bowden, an MD. She said, I asked Ramaswamy to add his name to a list of people opposing this jab.
	And she said this was his response.
	And this was in December 2023.
	Vivek Ramaswamy said, we're trying to keep our kids away from it.
	The Trump shot.
	I'm a medical choice absolutist.
	You should be allowed to take a medicine with full facts, even if the FDA hasn't approved it.
	And you should never be forced to take something just because the FDA has approved it.
	Right now, it's the worst of both worlds.
	Well, that's true as far as it goes.
	But what about fraud?
	What about fraud from the companies?
	And again, this was in 2023.
	You might have been able to excuse this back in 2020, but not three years later, when everybody knows what it is.
	But, you know, fraud is something that I guess the FDA ought to be able to get away with, right?
	Well, it turns out that the day before the Iowa caucus...
	Dr. David Martin, and I've interviewed him once, a very interesting guy, a very smart guy, and he has gone back and looked at the patents and the intellectual property rights for a lot of this pharmaceutical stuff in depth.
	I interviewed him in context with the second Plandemic movie, and so I interviewed both the director of that movie and David Martin, who featured prominently in that second one, and so he pointed out That Vivek's company had invested $116 million in nanoparticle delivery systems back in 2017.
	Also, according to him, Vivek has not so publicly disclosed his interest in every single shot that was delivered.
	Yeah, he's getting a little bit of a kickback on all that.
	And so this was put out and people started, you know, of course, there's a couple of different issues.
	He made his appeal.
	He offended Trump.
	Trump threw him under the bus, said, he's not MAGA, don't be deceived by this guy, and so forth.
	I think that was the biggest factor.
	I think because everybody saw that.
	But this is something that we need to keep in mind because Vivek ain't going away.
	As a matter of fact, part of the payoff for endorsing Trump was to be featured in New Hampshire and other places like that on the campaign trail with him.
	He's angling for something else, and he's not going to go away.
	Just as a lot of people said after January the 6th, they were angry at me.
	Leave Trump alone!
	You know, he's going away. Leave him alone.
	I said he's not going away. I'm telling you, Vivek the snake ain't going away either.
	All of this fight about who was going to win the horse race to get to the vaccine was happening a year, two years before the pandemic.
	So we didn't even have to guess who the winner was going to be.
	We knew that Moderna and BioNTech were the inside runners.
	We knew they were going to get the contracts from what ultimately became Operation Warp Speed.
	These were things that were foregone conclusions, and you knew who the people were because they were already fighting over who was going to win.
	So, they lied to Congress about the patents that the CADC, NIH, and its funded entities had.
	They lied to Congress about whether they had a relationship with Acuitus and Arbutus, which conveniently are Canadian firms, which made nothing but copious, copious, copious profits on the back of, I don't know, a thing that accidentally came into being.
	And by the way, we have a presidential candidate, Vivek, right now, is the guy who funded.
	So we have a Republican candidate for president who is using for his campaign money he made on his not so publicly disclosed interest in every shot that was delivered.
	I wonder how that would play if, I don't know, somebody at a town hall would ask an inconvenient question like, hey Vivek, Tell us about the money you made on the back of Arbutus and Acuitus Pharmaceuticals.
	Why don't we actually have that conversation?
	Well, we don't have that conversation because the public is, number one, uninformed.
	And when it is informed, they are too incredulous to believe that the things I just said happen to be true.
	That's right. So many times we tell people, that's just, it's too evil.
	Or that technology is too science fiction sounding.
	They don't have technology like that.
	We say that all the time. This comment here, a person says, and it's an anonymous account, it goes by the name of Clandestine.
	I think Vivek was always on Trump's side.
	No. Trump and Vivek are on the side of DARPA, big pharmaceutical companies, on the side of CDC and the World Health Organization.
	They're their puppets. They're their puppets.
	But he does have an interesting comment here.
	He says, the brief media scuffle was just theater the day before the primary to create the illusion of distance.
	Well, they create a lot of illusions.
	They create the illusion that Trump is an anti-globalist, and that illusion is so strong, that delusion is so strong to the MAGA people, that they can't believe that he's on the side of the globalists, even when he goes down and checks every single box that was on the wish list of Klaus Schwab, and he does it in synchronization.
	With these other people around the world.
	All this made-up garbage about social distancing in six feet.
	They all did the same thing at exactly the same time.
	And as Fauci said, well, I don't really know where that came from.
	It just sort of appeared.
	Well, he says his job was to be a Trump stand-in and to articulate Trump's agenda effectively.
	Because Trump can't do it effectively.
	Trump creates a cult of personality worship.
	But he can't articulate the agenda.
	To do it to a broader audience that might have been turned off by Trump himself.
	He woke up a lot of people this way and garnered a lot of support, which has now been transferred to Trump via endorsement.
	Vivek did his job, and I hope he can find a role in the Trump administration because he's as sharp as they come, and I'm excited about him in the future if he proves he's for real.
	Well, David Martin has proved what he's about.
	And, you know, he is kissing the ring, and it's not just Trump's ring that he's kissing.
	He's been kissing the ring of the pharmaceutical companies and playing footsie with him and making a lot of money.
	Here's an article from Wine Press.
	And they point out Vivek, even though he's dropped out of the race, he's been all over social media.
	He's routinely promoted by right-leaning alternative platforms.
	He's always on with Alex Jones.
	And featured by that, that should tell you something.
	He's not going to just fade away.
	A collection of authors and journalists dug into how Vivek made his money, and it has been revealed that he ran a number of get-rich-quick schemes and scams and profited off of technology used in the COVID-19 vaccines.
	And I've talked about some of this, but there's some of this that I've not talked about.
	And I would have liked to have talked about it to Ramaswamy, but he didn't want to.
	They always referred to him as an entrepreneur or as a biotech engineer, whatever.
	No, no. Vivek is fake on those two things.
	After working in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, he founded a biotech company called Roivant Sciences in 2014.
	The following year, he raised $360 million for its subsidiary, Axovant Sciences, in order to market an Alzheimer's drug that had previously failed four separate clinical trials.
	He then raised another $315 million in the IPO. Shortly thereafter...
	The company's market value reached almost $3 billion.
	Two years later, their drug failed its fifth clinical trial.
	The company cratered, losing over 70% of its value in a single day.
	Ramaswamy's investors would be the quintessential bag holders, while he made out with windfall profits at their expense.
	Just the kind of guy that you want as a populist president.
	I've had a lot of people telling me how great Ramaswamy is.
	And by the way, what they don't mention in this is he didn't create anything, right?
	Instead, he's buying and reselling stuff, very much like the pharmaceutical bro, Martin Scarelli.
	As a matter of fact, he tried to bring Martin Scarelli in as a kind of partnership, a joint venture type of thing, and the other people in the company said, no way.
	But that's who he is like.
	If you want an analogy of Vivek the Snake, it's Martin Scrulli, the big pharma bro.
	Anyway, yet in 2017, this company that he created, Royvent, partnered with a private equity arm of the CCP's CITIC group.
	Again, Communist Chinese Party.
	To form yet another fraudulent company called SinoVant.
	Sino as in Chinese.
	Shortly thereafter, SoftBank invested $1.1 billion in RoyVant.
	So, he buys this thing that has failed many times.
	He hypes it. He's really good at hype.
	He hypes it. He raises a bunch of money off of it.
	And then 70% of the value is gone in a single day.
	Other people are left holding the bag.
	He's left holding a windfall profit.
	Then, to recover, he joins forces with a Chinese Communist Party company, creates something called Sinovac.
	And as soon as they create that, they get SoftBank jumping in with over a billion dollars.
	Does that bother you?
	I see a lot of problems there, don't you?
	Anyway, Roy Bank sold its stake in five subsidiaries, and Ramaswamy pocketed $1.75 million just from that deal.
	Again, Roy Bank has never produced a single viable product, just kind of like Moderna, up until Warp Speed.
	And it's never turned a profit.
	In other words, Roy Bank...
	Ramaswamy's company was always nothing more than a Ponzi scheme and an egregious one at that.
	But perhaps by his connections with government, he might be able to go the same way as Moderna, right?
	Moderna operated for 10 years, and it was one happy story on Wall Street.
	They'd do a pump and dump on the stock, and these guys kept going, doing that way.
	And I know that last thing we had didn't pan out, but this one, this is going to cure everything, you know, that type of deal.
	And everybody would buy their stock and they would pocket the money.
	And they did that for 10 years until they were brought in as part of this warp speed thing.
	So perhaps that's his long-term plan.
	Who knows? Anyway, despite having never created anything in his life other than a series of companies engaged in various blatant scams, Forbes recently estimated his net worth to be more than $950 million.
	He's so close to being a billionaire.
	Perhaps with the right connections to Donald Trump.
	He could follow that plan of Moderna.
	It has been found that Vivek was receiving funding from the likes of BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, the unholy trinity of ESG, even as he was doing political speeches talking about how evil they are.
	Yeah, he truly is another Donald Trump, isn't he?
	Position himself as being anti-globalist, positioning himself as being anti-ESG, and yet taking money from the people who are pushing the ESG. BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street.
	The three major investment firms that he has routinely railed against in his speeches for monopolizing and vastly influencing economic conditions to his shadow hand, but he gets funded by them.
	In a resurfaced 2017 article by Forbes, it was revealed that in 2017, Ramaswamy's company invested $116 million into nanoparticle delivery systems that you just saw David Martin talking about.
	The same technology that would be later used in the so-called COVID-19 vaccines, the Trump shots.
	And therefore, Vivek would have gotten cut a check in royalties.
	Forbes reported that at the time.
	They said Roy Vint said it's agreed to invest $116 million in Arbitus Biopharma, a small biotech company focusing on hepatitis B, locked in a proxy war with Moderna over liquid nanoparticle delivery system.
	And what they don't talk about in this article...
	is his involvement in the pandemic scam and how he was on the COVID team of Governor DeWine, one of the worst governors, a Republican governor there in Ohio.
	And also the fact that as part of that team, not only did he not push back Against all the President Fauci and Vice President Trump demands for things to be done.
	No, he did not push back against that.
	But he was also there trying to angle in and make money with contact tracing, surveillance, and the vaccine ID stuff.
	This guy truly is a snake.
	And yet, what is the response from somebody who truly does have Trump delusion?
	Strong. Strongly.
	Laura Looney, right?
	Laura Loomer. And she, after he dropped out of the race, she said, Thank you, Ramaswamy.
	I knew you would do the right thing.
	Run in 2028, and you will have our support so long as you remain loyal to President Trump.
	That's the only thing that matters.
	It doesn't matter if Ramaswamy is for ESG or if he's for the big pharmaceutical companies or anything else, CVDC, any of that stuff.
	None of that matters if he's loyal to President Trump.
	As DeSantis said, the only thing that's required in the GOP now is that you've got to kiss the Trump ring.
	Laura Looney goes on to say, I always liked your policies.
	I just wanted loyalty to Trump.
	And, of course, she doesn't like what happened, I guess, like most of these people, under Trump, but she still is loyal to him.
	Looking forward to seeing you in New Hampshire with President Trump tomorrow at his rally.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So, that's all that's required.
	Now, the question is, as we look at this election coming up, Well, we can certainly see the enthusiasm in the Republican primaries and in the polls for Trump.
	But will they show up?
	You know, I talked about how low the turnout was.
	If you go back and you look at the last competitive GOP primary in Iowa in 2016, we had, you know, about 16 or 17 different candidates on the ballot at the very beginning there.
	They had a turnout of 186,000.
	It was only 109,000 this last time.
	Really dropped.
	And only 14.4% of registered Republicans even turned out to vote.
	So is he going to win the general election with that kind of tepid interest?
	Of course, you could always say that it was affected by the weather, but still, only 14% showed up.
	So, as we move forward...
	Are there going to be any debates?
	No more debates. Nuki Haley doesn't want to debate.
	She said that if she does another debate, she's not going to do any more debates unless it's a debate with Trump and or Biden.
	And so I guess DeSantis doesn't get to talk to anybody, right?
	Maybe you can find a third party candidate.
	That's how I got into a PBS debate when I was running for Congress.
	Because, by the way, it was Virginia Fox who voted for these bills that the conservatives are so upset about in Congress.
	This betrayal. She was the one that I ran against.
	I told Karen, I said I'd be dead now if I had actually won that election because out of just stress living in Washington, it would have killed me.
	I hated that place.
	I did not want to go, but I did want to run against it.
	But anyway, I got into a PBS debate because she didn't want to debate.
	She was running for her first re-election.
	She had gotten in in 1994, and in 1996, she was above debating anybody.
	And so the Democrat wanted to go into a debate, and so we did that.
	Anyway... So Nikki Haley says she's not going to be in any further debates.
	And I imagine it's probably a good thing that she doesn't get in the debates.
	Because, you know, you might have DeSantis bring this up, for example.
	She posted this back in April of 2020.
	And this is Nikki Haley's official account.
	Thank you, Bill Gates, for donating billions of dollars to construct factories that will manufacture the seven most promising vaccines.
	This will keep us from losing any time as potential vaccines move through the clinical trial process.
	Isn't that great?
	You know, Bill Gates, she saw Bill Gates as a benefactor.
	Is she really that stupid?
	Is she really that stupid?
	See, I don't think Nikki Haley is stupid.
	I don't think that Trump is stupid.
	I think they're evil.
	I think they're traitors.
	I think they know exactly what they're doing.
	Yeah, thank you for giving billions of dollars and expecting nothing at all out of it.
	Does she not know about the ID 2020, which I've got to know your name, she says.
	Does she not know about the immunization agenda 2030 of Bill Gates or everybody everywhere, every vaccine, every age?
	So, in terms of why she doesn't want to talk anymore about any policies or about her record, She says, our intent, I love this royal we that everybody uses, and they all use it.
	It just really grates against me.
	Our intent was to host a debate.
	So, I'm sorry, that was not her.
	That's ABC News. Let me take that back.
	But they all use that. Nevertheless, she uses it.
	DeSantis uses it. ABC said, well, we want to have a debate, but nobody will do it.
	And as Trump is taking his victory lap, He was all alone on the stage.
	He had his two sons, Eric and Junior, there.
	But he didn't have Melania.
	You know, when he first went to Iowa, showed up for his very first event in Iowa for this cycle, there was a banner that was being flown around saying, where's Melania?
	And she's been AWOL this entire time.
	And she wasn't there when he won the election.
	And so what he does is, you see this happening everywhere in the press, media, this puff story that he came up with.
	They deflect away from the fact that Melania is absent, and also Barron is also absent, his son.
	Here's the headline. Barron Trump has eaten his way to 6 feet 7 inches.
	But his dad says that he likes soccer over basketball.
	Well, there you go. Nothing to worry about.
	Nothing to see there.
	Donald Trump is all praise for his son Barron's towering height of six feet seven inches, which he attributes to the late Melania's mother cooking skills.
	Speaking, because, you know, they don't have any servants who are cooking.
	Um... Donald Trump had his mother-in-law cooking for everybody at Mar-a-Lago, right?
	I guess that's why she died.
	I think that's a pretty heavy load for somebody who's elderly.
	And then he buried his wife in his golf course to get a discount, his first wife.
	I guess Melania maybe doesn't want to go into the golf course.
	He has already got one hole taken care of.
	I guess he could have three altogether.
	But anyway, speaking of his campaign headquarters in Des Moines, he spoke about Barron's relationship with his grandmother and how she took care of him and resulted in his impressive height.
	You think so? He quipped that Barron, who was watching the event on TV, I'm sure he was, prefers playing soccer despite his massive frame.
	So he makes this all about the fact that, you know, Melania is not finished with him.
	She's not fed up with him like all the people who worked for him.
	She's not fed up with him at all.
	She doesn't care about all this Jeffrey Epstein stuff and everything.
	No, they're good. They're really good.
	They got a solid marriage there.
	And she's not ready to divorce him as soon as this election thing is over.
	No, she's not there because her mother died, you know, from the massive duties of feeding everybody.
	And his son, Barron, evidently, because he got so much food from Grandma, He is very distraught about this death in the family that happened several weeks ago.
	Several weeks ago.
	We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Here news now at APS radio news.com or get the APS radio app and never miss another story story.
	News.
	you. Making
	sense. Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, we have our guests coming up in five minutes, so real quickly I wanted to go over some financial things here.
	And this was sent to me by a listener, Mark.
	He said, you and Gerald Salenti have been covering this for years, and now 60 Minutes is catching on.
	Yeah, the commercial real estate bust.
	Listen to this. City without its skyline.
	Monuments to commerce standing proudly shoulder to shoulder.
	More office space than any city in the world.
	But peek inside all this vertical real estate and there's a fundamental question.
	Where is everyone?
	More than 95 million square feet of New York office space currently unoccupied.
	The equivalent of 30 Empire State buildings.
	This building had a lot of law firms, had some government tenants.
	Scott Reckler is CEO of RXR, a New York real estate company with more than $20 billion in holdings.
	We walk through his property at 61 Broadway near Wall Street.
	Every other floor, half the building, lies empty.
	I think this is an existential moment.
	You know, I call it crossing the chasm.
	What's the chasm specifically?
	This post-COVID world of higher interest rates, the changing nature of how people work and live.
	We're not going back to where we were.
	It's a different world, and it's going to be turbulent.
	It already is.
	The return to office has stalled out.
	Fridays are dead.
	Mondays aren't much busier.
	As tenants shrink their office footprint, office landlords are confronting the fact that some of their buildings have become obsolete, if not worthless.
	Ever the pragmatist, Reckler decided not to throw good money after bad at 61 Broadway and defaulted to his bank on a $240 million loan.
	I could see people say, it's a lot of money.
	How did he sleep last night?
	We invest a lot of equity.
	If it works, we make...
	If it works to make a lot of money, if it doesn't, who cares?
	That's not some other sucker.
	And of course, it's the banks that are going to be taken down by this as well.
	And China's stock market, as he talks about, you know, hey, this is, look at all these empty buildings.
	It's like 30 Empire State buildings.
	China's stock market is in free fall.
	I mean, it's going down like Building 7.
	So, again, it's kind of interesting to look at this because you go back and you look at When the Great Depression kicked off and you had the Wall Street crash in 1929, And at that particular time, really, it was Britain that was the economic powerhouse, and it was kind of, you know, the British pound was a standard for the world.
	And yet, America was rising, and America was where most of the manufacturing was done, and that type of thing.
	There's a lot of parallels there with what is happening today.
	America being in the role of Great Britain prior to the Great Depression, and China being in the role of America prior to the Great Depression, where all the manufacturing was happening.
	And so that's very troubling from a global perspective.
	After a rocky couple of years for the Chinese economy, the country's stock market appears to be in freefall now, with authorities asking institutional investors not to sell stocks in an attempt to stabilize share prices as foreigners are pulling out.
	China's market regulators have tried to stabilize the market by imposing restrictions that stop some investors from being net sellers of equities on certain days.
	So it's just like, you know...
	Oil embargo of OPEC. You can only buy gas on odd or even days, depending on your license plate, right?
	Well, I guess maybe the same type of thing here.
	On certain days, you can't be a net seller.
	This strategy with authorities offering what is known as window guidance in an attempt to help the country's stock market bounce back was first introduced in October 2020.
	But under pressure to try to stop share prices from free-falling, the country's market regulators have already reintroduced restrictions on some security companies, large institutional investors.
	China's central bank has been left with little room for maneuvering to strengthen the country's economy, as the Chinese yuan has weakened in recent months, and the bank is likely to want to avoid a further depreciation of the currency.
	It has already weakened more than 1% against the U.S. dollar this year.
	And so when you look at this in the background of what is happening with the commercial real estate bust because of lockdown and the rest of this stuff, we have J.P. Morgan has just racked up another conviction.
	Yes, Jamie Dimon, you can never say this guy has no convictions.
	He's got a long string of them.
	$18 million fine for violating whistleblower protection rules.
	As Zero Hedge points out, Elizabeth Warren continues to try to paint the entire crypto movement As a criminal enterprise, and she does it when she has fundraisers with people like Jamie Dimon.
	He did not admit or deny the charges, but the bank paid an $18 million fine this week for violating whistleblower protection rules.
	What they had done was they said, well, if you're going to do business with us, you're not going to be able to contact the SEC. Zero Hedge says, doesn't the mob have a name for that?
	Don't they call it Hush Money? Exactly right.
	So the SEC said, you, he says, they allege here that for several years it forced certain clients in the position of choosing between receiving settlements or credits or reporting potential security law violations to the SEC. This either or proposition not only undermined critical investor protections and placed investors at risk, but it was also illegal.
	The SEC's Division of Enforcement said whether it's in your employment contract or a settlement agreement or anywhere else, you simply cannot include provisions that prevent individuals from contacting the SEC with evidence of wrongdoing.
	And so at the same time they're doing this, Bloomberg says this too-big-to-fail bank's standardized risk-weighted assets hit $1.7 trillion.
	Its cash and marketable securities are $1.4 trillion.
	Its average loans are near there at $1.3 trillion.
	And the bigger bank keeps getting bigger.
	But it's not only them. It's also Goldman Sachs.
	Dumping billions in stocks and assets as it told clients to buy.
	By the way, that's the bank that Trump recruited so much of his cabinet from.
	Cohen got paid $250 million in a golden parachute so he could be part of the Trump administration.
	And then as Trump got rid of him, he said, yeah, he's kind of a globalist.
	I guess that's why he hired him.
	J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Bridgewater CEOs, all at Davos with Zelensky.
	That's right. Here's Zalinsky with the bankers getting his Lining up for his cash. So the bottom line with all this we've got our guest is ready to come on When you look at what is happening in Argentina, you have our view of Malay Making a move to allow certain provinces think of that as states To start to circulate their own currencies That is something that we saw during the Great Depression.
	You had a lot of local communities and still have it in some of the museums.
	People printed up wooden coins to exchange because it was necessary.
	So the bottom line is, you know, when you try to set up these state banks to try to get away from these too big to fail banks, Public-private partnerships, stakeholder banks, whatever you want to call them, crony capital and involvement with these corrupt government entities.
	You want to have something there at the local level, whether it's going to be wooden coins.
	Certainly, if you've got your own gold or silver, that's going to be something that is always going to be tradable.
	A wooden coin is a fiat currency, in a sense.
	So have something that is physical, that is there.
	And as a backup to try to stay out of this criminal system, as it looks like it's about to collapse or to get much worse.

	He's written a book about Gavin Newsom, Newsom's Nightmare.
	I think it's going to be very interesting.

	Feed it with our devotion, boys, call it the Liberty Tree.
	It's a tall old tree and a strong old tree.
	And we are the sons, yes, we are the sons, the sons of liberty.
	Liberty Tree Liberty.
	It's your move.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, joining us now is John Cox.
	As I said, he's a CPA, he's an attorney, and he has been a candidate for California governor.
	And he's written a book about Gavin Newsom, Newsom's Nightmare.
	And so it's good to have you on, John.
	I'm so sorry that you live in California.
	Thank you. Thank you.
	Well, you know, the weather's pretty darn good, David.
	That's why I stay out there, and that's why there's a whole bunch of great companies that are out there, despite Gavin Newsom.
	And that's, I think, the message of the book.
	The book is called, by the way, The Newsom Nightmare.
	So it's available on Amazon and anyplace good books are sold.
	And I hope people get a chance to read it because I think Mr.
	Newsom is going to make a play to be the President of the United States.
	If not in 24, it'll be 28.
	I agree. People ought to know about his record.
	They ought to know about his background.
	They ought to know about what he will do to the country or how he will lead the country.
	And I think that's very germane.
	I agree. And, of course, we all know that even if he doesn't run for president, even if he doesn't get elected president or whatever, what he does there as governor of California has a tremendous impact across the country.
	We'll talk about that in a moment. Let's talk a little bit about his possible presidency this year, for example.
	You know, Biden is 81, and he's not a young 81 either.
	Oh, no. He's on the full effect of all those years.
	He'll be 86 by the end of the term.
	And so, you know, people are looking at this.
	I look at even his running mate, Lala Harris, I call her, because she's kind of in la-la land.
	But she's, you know, I look at this, they might replace her.
	They might replace both of them.
	And, you know, Trump is also getting pretty old.
	He's 77. He'll be 81 by the end of this next term.
	So he would end up the same age as Biden, but he seems to be physically in better shape.
	And so when you look at this, if they get rid of Biden, and a lot of people in the Democrat Party are really pushing for that, the likely candidates, I think, to replace Biden would be either Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom.
	But Gavin Newsom is in office, and he is having an effect as he is.
	The things that he's doing right now are having an effect right now on everybody across the country.
	How did you think he did in terms of the debate that he had with Hannity and DeSantis?
	On Fox News. I think he did what he wanted to do, and that is he wanted to introduce himself more to the nation, to a different audience, frankly.
	I mean, he's been on MSNBC and CNN quite a bit, so he doesn't need to introduce himself to those audiences.
	The Fox audience, obviously, are different people that don't normally see what he's doing.
	They see a lot of the criticisms, but, you know, Newsom came off glib, came off well-spoken.
	He came off citing a whole bunch of Statistics that sound great.
	Gee, it's no revelation that a lot of great companies have started in California.
	Salesforce, Apple, Google, all these great trillion-dollar-plus companies base themselves in California, and who wouldn't?
	You know, I live in California because I just love the weather and the ocean and the natural beauty, and If you're a smart guy with a great business idea, sure, you're going to want to start your business where you can live the best life you can, and that's the place for the best weather.
	But they quickly discover, however, that the government that Newsom leads is nothing short of spectacularly involved in your life.
	They want to tax you to death.
	And so a whole bunch of those companies have decided to ultimately leave, like Tesla, but Nestle, Toyota, you know, I can name a whole bunch of companies, and people that have left, they've moved to Tennessee or Florida or Texas,
	where there's obviously zero tax and where regulation is not going to strangle their future, and We're good to go.
	You're living a very difficult life.
	The cost of living, shortages of energy, water, housing, homelessness all over the place, wildfires, crime, regulations.
	That's what I think of when I look at the home issue, right?
	The homelessness...
	But even the fact that people can't afford to buy a home.
	And this is absolutely amazing, the pictures of people that you see living out of RVs and just lining the road as far as you can see living out of their RVs, and then the homeless people who don't even have an RV. And all of that is really a function of when you've got a state that is as prosperous as that,
	and you see that kind of abject poverty contrasted with amazing amounts of wealth, that happens because of government policies and because the government is doing that.
	That's not a natural situation.
	I'm in the housing industry, David.
	That's my business. I build and manage apartments.
	I don't own anything in California.
	Right now I'm building about 1,200 units outside of Indianapolis.
	Indiana is a great example of a state that treats business well, that isn't owned by trial lawyers, that doesn't have huge deficits or pension deficits.
	I can build wonderful apartments in Indiana for under $200,000 a unit.
	Just gorgeous. Granite countertops, beautiful appliances.
	Those same units in California, David, would be $500,000, $600,000 in most of the state.
	You know, that's a very big difference in terms of your lifestyle and what you're able to afford and how competitive you are in the rest of the country.
	It's just so sad, and it's mostly, as you said, government that drives up that cost difference.
	Lumber and windows don't cost a whole lot more in Indiana than they do in California.
	It's the other things.
	Yeah, and it's stuff like fuel, right?
	Fuel is more expensive in California than it is in other places.
	It's like having their own special wood or something, right?
	They have to have bespoke gasoline, so they've got some refineries that only produce the special blend that California demands.
	And so between that and the really high taxes, as I've reported on the prices of gasoline going up and everything, California is way ahead of even the number two.
	And so it's even more than the taxes.
	It's also the regulations that he has on the formulation of the fuel there.
	This gets to the essence of Gavin Newsom, and that is he appeals to people on a gut level on some very high emotional issues like abortion, guns, and climate change.
	It's part of this whole thing to scare the bejesus out of people.
	You know, The gasoline formulation that California uses, David, makes the tiniest little bit of difference in the total pollution of the world.
	I mean, it is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction.
	India and China are spewing carbon into the atmosphere like nobody's business these days.
	And the tiny little difference that California makes is ridiculously small.
	Yet, this is what drives Gavin Newsom, and this is what the media loves.
	The media loves to herald this stuff, and why?
	Because it gets clicks, and it gets eyeballs, and this is the essence of Gavin Newsom's entire political agenda, and that is, focus on these emotional issues.
	Scare tactics and highly emotional, social and other issues ignore the stuff that truly makes a difference in people's lives, like energy, water, housing, safety, cleanliness, homelessness, all these things that really have an effect on people's lives.
	And he's able to roll to electoral victories because so many people just pay attention to these highly emotional issues And they don't think that you can do anything about these other bread and butter, meat and potatoes issues.
	And that's what I talk about in my book.
	And what I'm also proposing in my book, David, is a way to get the electorate to finally pay attention to these things and get involved in the process so that they really pay attention to who they're voting for and why they're voting for these candidates.
	It is so hard to get people to focus, though, on their policy and on their records.
	And I beat my head against the wall trying to get Republicans to do the same thing.
	It's like, okay, you hate this policy.
	You hated the lockdown, but you're supporting the guy that did the lockdown.
	What is going on with all this?
	And, of course, with Gavin Newsom, he's very telegenic.
	You know, he looks like he came out of central casting there in Hollywood.
	And, you know, he and his wife.
	And yet, you know, when you start looking at what he did, it's like, whoa, I was so disappointed to see, you know, in California, the people voted him in again, even with everything that had happened there.
	And yet it's not surprising because the Republicans are doing the same thing.
	They don't want to hold anybody accountable for anything that happened in the last three years or even before that.
	And why is that, They never have a chance to have a conversation like you and I are having right now. They just sit there and they mindlessly look at
	their phones and they see something and they say, oh gee, I don't like that, and they vote for a guy based upon what his opponent says. They don't get a chance to actually discuss issues. So what I'm proposing in my book, and this is really important, David, is a revolution in how we elect our elected leaders.
	I'm proposing that we change, that we tweak our election processes with regard to Congress especially, to get people more involved in getting to the essence of a lot of these issues, where it's more than just a 30-second TV ad, and it's more than just a meme.
	It's an actual conversation that every voter can have with their representative which they don't get a chance to now Yeah, that's the key thing, because you lay out the problems, but, you know, unlike, we've got to get past the point of just laying out problems.
	We've got to have some solutions, because things are changing very quickly.
	So that's one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you about that.
	You've got an organization, hearthepeople.org.
	Tell us your vision for how that would change the electoral process.
	The essence of this is the People's House, David, the Congress.
	It was intended by our founders to be the People's House.
	But because they limited the number to 435 about a century ago, the average congressional district is 750,000 people now.
	It's just impossible for people to actually know their congressmen, and they don't.
	They only see them on TV. That's right.
	Let me just interject.
	Even 35 years or so ago, when I ran for Congress, it was about a half a million.
	And now it's gone to 750,000.
	And so you're getting less and less representation, as you will.
	Sorry. So the idea is very simple, David.
	Plice that big district into a hundred little tiny districts.
	Yes. So that each district's only 7,500 people.
	You're not going to use television to reach those 7,500 people.
	You're not going to use social media.
	You're not going to blast radio ads to all of them.
	What you're going to be forced to do is actually go and have a conversation.
	Because 7,500 people is only about 3,000 households.
	Mm-hmm. And you can have a conversation with a couple thousand people.
	You just have to spend a few weekends doing it, but you can actually get to know your constituents.
	And more importantly, your constituents can know who you are, and they can know what your background is, and they can know that you have the character and the confidence and the leadership ability to actually do something.
	Now, As a practical fact, what ends up happening is that these hundred people who were elected in these little tiny districts, they get together at a meeting, and they select one person to go to Washington.
	The other 99 stay home, and they don't have an office, they don't have a pension, they don't have a staff.
	Their entire job is to get together every two years and decide on the guy to go to Washington.
	And then they monitor what that guy does in Washington.
	But you know what that guy in Washington is not gonna do, David?
	He's not gonna spend six hours of every day on the telephone begging for money.
	That's right. He's going to study the issues.
	He's going to communicate with his constituents.
	He's going to communicate with the 99 people back home who sent him there because he's got to get re-elected and those 99 hold the keys to that, right?
	That's right. So he's going to keep them informed.
	And each of those are going to, in turn, keep their own constituents informed.
	What this does, David, is it really puts the people back in charge of the people's house.
	And I think it would change politics up and down the political spectrum because people then would feel...
	Like, their voice will be heard, and their elected leaders would actually respond to their voice and would have an interest in doing that, and it wouldn't be through the media.
	I think the media has gotten way too much power in this country.
	I hope you agree with that, even though you're a member.
	Oh, yeah. No, I don't consider myself being a member of the media, and they don't...
	And what you're saying is so true.
	And I remember in the early 90s, we talked about the New Hampshire State Legislature.
	Yes, that's where I got this idea.
	That's where I got this idea. In the early 90s, I don't know what it is right now, but they said if you spent more than $1,000 running for office, it accused you of trying to buy the election.
	And yet at that time...
	You know, it was routine for people to spend over $100,000 running for Congress at that time.
	And that's the problem, is that we've allowed this, if you look at the Constitution, it said, well, we're going to have like 30,000 people, one representative for every 30,000 people, we're not going to go past 50.
	And then they just, they didn't even go with that at the very beginning.
	They I just kind of threw that away.
	And then they fixed it and said, we don't care how rapidly the population grows and we don't care about any of this except we're going to have this fixed number of representatives.
	And I think you're exactly right.
	That's one of the ways that we actually get a representative government is to increase the number of people.
	And when we would talk about this 30 years ago, people would say, well, it's just not practical to do it.
	And it's like, no, you could do it today.
	And you could certainly do it today now that you've got the Zoom technology and all the rest of the stuff that Everybody had to live by over the last three years.
	There's not even a question as to whether or not that'd be a viable way to do it.
	And you'd have the people living in their district instead of maybe traveling to Washington.
	You know, they could still do their work by telecommuting or something like that.
	You're so right.
	The internet actually multiplies the opportunity for this because let's say I'm the representative of my own little tiny district of 7,500 people.
	It's a few thousand households.
	Well, You know, once I've met every one of those people, they know me, they trust me, I'll be able to send them emails, I'll be able to ask them questions, they'll be able to ask me questions.
	If any of them is a crackpot and asks me wild, idiotic questions, I can certainly put them in the background.
	But I'll be able to focus on the people of my district who have real concerns, and I'll be able to then communicate those concerns to the guy that we sent to Washington.
	That guy that we sent to Washington, He's going to listen to me because I'm one of the 99 who sent him there.
	And it won't be because I gave him a whole bunch of money, right?
	Like a union boss or a big corporation or something like that.
	He'll listen to me because he knows I'm one of those 99 and I can unelect him as much as I can elect him.
	And that's really a countable thing.
	Responsive government, which is what we ought, and it's Republican.
	It's a small r Republican government.
	Remember, we're not a democracy.
	We're a Republican. We're a representative Republican democracy, which means that we vote for people to represent us.
	That's right. But that only works, David, if those people are actually responsive to us.
	If they're only responsive to the people that give them money for their campaigns, which we know they are, we've lost our representative republic.
	We really have. And my goal here is to get it back.
	Yeah, it's interesting, you know, when we look at what has happened to the government, it has so rapidly distanced itself from us.
	And I think about, you know, we're just watching some old movies for Christmas, and you have these situations where you got, you know, the cop on the beat, and he would walk the beat, and he knew everybody.
	You know, he knew the group. Yes.
	Yes. And what do they focus on?
	Each of these people that runs for office, what they focus on is getting on television, getting famous.
	I mean, look at in California right now.
	I'm supporting them because I want to support a Republican.
	But, you know, Steve Garvey, a former baseball player, is running for the U.S. Senate.
	God love him.
	He'll be a million times better than Adam Schiff or Barbara Lee or Katie Porter, okay?
	Right. But why is he running?
	Why is he the main candidate on the Republican side?
	Well, because he was in baseball for 30 years or 25 years.
	He got name recognition being in baseball and so that all of a sudden makes him a great candidate for the Senate.
	Yeah. I'm sorry.
	He's a celebrity. Probably a celebrity.
	Yeah. And you know what? We need people who are true leaders.
	You know, look at Gavin Newsom and, frankly, Donald Trump are the same kind of person.
	They really manipulate the media.
	Why do we know Donald Trump so much?
	Because he's been in the media for 40 years.
	Yeah. Gavin Newsom grew up with the media.
	His family goes back to governors in California and being part of that whole media thing.
	But do they really have the leadership qualities that we look to to be real leaders and real truth-tellers and real competent, character-filled leaders?
	I'm sorry. We need good leaders.
	We need people of good character.
	We need people who can empathize and communicate with us and give us the background of why these policies are important.
	Not just saying close the border, but tell us why that's important.
	Tell us how we're going to do that.
	Tell us the benefits and the burdens of doing all these things.
	We don't get those kinds of discussions, David.
	We just get some soundbite somewhere.
	And I think that's really, really damaged our democracy and damaged our country.
	And I think that's one of the reasons why, you know, when you look at Iowa and New Hampshire, they don't necessarily have great track records in terms of picking who's going to go on to win, even the nomination.
	But in those environments, you have a situation where they go into a pizza ranch and they talk to people one on the other.
	Or they have, you know, even the caucuses or the voters interacting with each other.
	Or in New Hampshire, you know, again, it's that retail touch that you can have.
	And that's just not, doesn't happen anywhere else.
	Everywhere else, it becomes about the advertising budget.
	And I know when I ran, the first question that anybody in the media would ask me was, what's your budget?
	How much money? Yeah, exactly.
	How much money have you raised?
	I'm not interested because you're not going to be running ads on my TV show.
	You know, so I'm not interested in you anymore.
	I can get the money somewhere else.
	But, you know, that's what, it's all about the money, and it's about the fundraising, with the exception of those two places.
	But we can see that you've got to have that personal touch, and people have to know you.
	But, you know, when you've got a celebrity like Steve Garvey, or you've got somebody like Donald Trump, because I've watched them for years on a program, and even if it's not a reality program, even if it's not sports, even if it is like some scripted TV show, they think they know that person.
	They think they know them.
	Exactly. You see, when the person dies, everybody's like, oh, I'm in mourning for this guy that was in Friends or whatever.
	And it's like, you don't know anything about him.
	But they get as upset about that as they do over their friends dying or something.
	Because they do think that they're friends with these people on TV. And that's very true with Gavin Newsom.
	People think that they know this guy.
	They really don't.
	They don't know anything about his background.
	His grandfather helped Pat Brown get elected governor.
	His father helped Jerry Brown get elected governor.
	They have fed at the trough of state politics for 40 years.
	The Newsom family goes back...
	Oh gosh, actually more than 60 years at the power table of feeding off of government in California.
	uh... squaw valley which is now called the palisades big ski area used to be owned by the new some family and why because they leveraged their political uh...
	connections uh... new some spot there gavin newsom's father was the lawyer for jay paul getty the first billionaire and he opened doors and he maneuvered the legal system to help the getty family get you know and keep their money You know, there's so many connections here, but people don't know that.
	They just think that Gavin Newsom's this good-looking guy with great teeth and great hair, and he spouts statistics that sound good.
	Yeah. I mean, if you look through those statistics, by the way, I mean, I think he said a whopper during the DeSantis debate.
	He said somehow California's middle class pays lower taxes than Florida.
	Yeah. Which, you know, I heard this and I say, what planet is he on?
	I mean, this is...
	Nobody would believe that.
	The property taxes, they've got to be the same.
	You know, I know Florida's property taxes are a little bit higher because they don't have an income tax, but they don't have an income tax.
	And I don't think that even their property taxes are as high as California.
	I may be wrong about that. Well, no, not...
	Not when you look at the cost of housing in California.
	I mean, our tax rate is only 1%, but the average house here costs $2 million versus $1 million in Florida or Texas.
	So, I mean, that means your taxes are still 1% of $2 million, which is $20,000.
	In Texas, it might be 2% of $1 million, which is still $20,000.
	So you're not going to be paying much of a different tax bill, but That's kind of lost on Gavin Newsom.
	I guess he doesn't expect people to look beyond the headlines there.
	Well, certainly he can get away with it.
	And again, it's because he's been trained and he's slick.
	Now, did you run for governor or are you going to run for governor?
	Yes. No, I did.
	The seat was open in 2018 after Jerry Brown left, and I figured people were going to be sick of Democratic policies, and so I jumped into the race.
	I had an idea about remaking the California legislature in the same way that I'm talking about the Congress here, and Unfortunately, people just didn't pay attention, and, you know, the media, and Newsom raised millions, tens of millions of dollars from the unions, from Hollywood, from Silicon Valley, and, you know, the people that feed at the trough, and he buried me, but I'm staying involved, and I think this is the right thing.
	Well, that's really good. Absolutely, and I've I've mentioned this many times over the years.
	That is the path. And when you talk about doing that in California, it needs to be done at the state levels as well.
	Because the same thing happened at the state levels.
	We've frozen the number of representatives to the state house and the state senate and that type of thing.
	As a population everywhere has exploded.
	I mean, you go back and you look at the, you know, 1776 and you look at what the population is.
	It was just like three or four million or something like that.
	And there was real representation because people really did know other people.
	And that's the key thing.
	If it gets really big, as you pointed out, it's just going to be the people with lots of money and organizations that are going to manipulate them.
	That's who they're going to answer to.
	They don't know us. They don't share our concerns.
	They don't live in our area.
	And as I've said many times, even if you were to go back And say, we're going to limit it to 50,000 people.
	You know, you'd wind up with like 8,000 congressional representatives.
	Yeah, and that's unwieldy.
	Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but that would be unwieldy.
	I mean, people would look at that and they would say, gee, a body of 8,000 congressmen would be just, you'd never get anything done.
	You know, there'd be just too much stuff.
	That might be a nice feature.
	That might be a nice feature.
	I get that. But, you know, the structure that we've come up with here, where you have 100 sub-districts and then you send one person who's responsive, I think that probably works in a higher population area.
	People can learn about this, by the way, by going to hearthepeople.org.
	We're going to try to get this done in a couple of states.
	I think we're going to start maybe with Arizona, and we're going to try to get the state legislature to enact this.
	By the way, that's an important thing, David.
	I'm sure you're a constitutionalist, but you realize the Constitution in Article I gives each state Yes.
	Yes. That's what I like about your plan there, because if you wanted to say, well, we're going to go back and we're going to have, let's say, maybe not 8,000, we're going to have 2,000 members of Congress.
	Well, they determine right now, they say, that's our determination, how many are going to be there.
	But with your system, it spreads out the representation in a hierarchical way, right?
	Instead of saying, well, now we're going to send more people to Washington, which they can't do, you still wind up getting that representation, but in a hierarchical way.
	That's great.
	In your example, it would be up to the Congress itself to change to go to 2,000 or 3,000 people.
	And they're not going to do that.
	Yeah. If you're one of 2,000, you're going to have a lot less power than one of 435.
	So that's the last thing they're going to do.
	You're absolutely right.
	They're the ones that froze it at 435 to begin with, you know, back in 1920 or so.
	So what this is going to be required to do is each state legislature is going to have to meet and enact this statute.
	We have a model statute.
	We've had drafts. So it's very easy to do.
	And you know, think about it a second.
	We're going to be able to make an argument that who doesn't want this change?
	The people who will fight this are the media and the lobbyists because they stand to lose that measure of power.
	I think people will look at that and say, hmm, who do we want to have the power?
	Do we want the people to have the power or do we want media and the lobbyists to have power?
	I think the people are going to say, gee, I like this idea because it gives me a greater say over my future and about our leaders, not the media or the lobbyists.
	And that's, I think, long overdue.
	So we're going to start in one state.
	We think that once one or two states does this and the rest of the country hears about it, Every state is going to say, hey, why don't we do this in our state?
	This makes a bunch of sense.
	I think this is a perfect time for this as well.
	Because we're at a time right now where everybody's looking at the institutions and they're saying, you know, this just isn't working.
	I subscribe to the ideas of Strauss and Howe and the Fourth Turning.
	This type of thing happens like every 80 years.
	But whether you see this as a cycle or not, you can see that this is really what is happening, that everybody is questioning the institutions.
	And we're seeing at the state level A lot of innovative approaches to change certain things.
	Let's come up with some different ways to, kind of a backstop of the financial system in case the Federal Reserve really screws up anything.
	Right. Right. Right.
	Right. There's one word in all this, David, and that word is accountability.
	People don't trust the major institutions.
	Why? Because they don't believe that they're accountable when they mislead us or when they give us bad information or when they give us half the story.
	The big deal with Hear the People is that you're going to have a guy or a girl in your district, 7,500 people who you know, and if that person gives you bad information or gives you information that you know is not true or doesn't pass the smell test or just lacks common sense, you're going to be able to hold that person accountable and you're never going to believe them again.
	Hmm. What that means is that the person who you interact with, you're going to be able to hold accountable.
	And the 99 are going to be able to hold accountable that person that they've sent to Washington, D.C. at the same time.
	And they're going to be able to hold that Congress accountable.
	That's a really big thing.
	We've lost accountability because it's all about media, it's all about these sound bites, and it's all about lobbyists and how you shade the truth and telling half the story.
	We've got to do away with that.
	We've got to make our leaders accountable to each one of us, and I think this is a step in that direction.
	Yeah, that's absolutely right.
	Yeah, when you look at the presidential debates are a good example.
	When they get together they talk about the same issues, even though the issues have changed significantly, same issues that they talked about for decades.
	They skirt around the issues, they talk past each other as we saw with Newsom and DeSantis.
	And then they get away with this because you've only got two choices.
	And it's like, well, I don't like either one of these guys, but I really can't stand that guy because I've seen all these negative ads.
	So I'll go for this guy, even though I don't really like him.
	And so all of these things combined together, we've got to find a way to break through that.
	And I like the bottom-up approach that you've got because we've really got to take this back from the bottom-up.
	We can't take it back from the top-down.
	It's too corrupt. As you just pointed out, Congress isn't going to dilute their power.
	They're not going to do anything to change politics.
	What they're doing instead, they're trying to put these tentacles further into our lives and to micromanage more and more aspects of our life at the local level.
	And that's why I think you're starting to see these approaches rising up at the state level and below that are saying, no, we're not going to do that.
	We're going to start taking back some of our rightful power in all this.
	And you're absolutely right, by the way.
	The answer to all this is not media that's, you know, telling us what we want to hear in soundbites.
	It's to get the people back involved.
	You know, Fox News was created as a reaction to the liberal bent of ABC, CBS, and NBC, right?
	But now we've gone to the Fox News silo, and we only hear certain things there, and then we...
	Don't hear over here on the major networks.
	So we're kind of buffeted back and forth.
	And, you know, the people's reaction to all this, David, is to just turn off.
	I mean, you've seen those interviews that they do on the street, you know, Jesse Waters or Jay Leno or one of these.
	They go up and they ask people, you know, name the Supreme Court justices or name your U.S. senator.
	Most people can't do it.
	Most people, they have no knowledge of politics.
	And why? Because they're so detached from it.
	They've gotten moved so far away from it that they just don't even want to get involved anymore.
	And you can't blame them because they don't have really any input into it, right?
	You know, it's become so distant from us, it doesn't really matter.
	And I look at it even from that standpoint.
	I got to the point where it's like...
	I'm trying to focus on my local elections and things like that, even to the extent that, you know, I look at the national elections and there's lessons to be learned there about the directions that they're going to come at us with.
	But I'm, you know, for the real practical stuff, you've got to focus on what's local.
	And so we've got to grow this from the bottom up.
	That is a great idea.
	I love that. And so that is also discussed in your book about Newsom.
	Yes. Yes. Good.
	And there's also a website there as well, hearthepeople.org.
	Hearthepeople.org is the plan laid out there.
	People can see what that looks like.
	But before we leave, tell us a little bit more about – just talk about how – California, whether or not Newsom runs for president or, God forbid, gets elected president, the impact that he has on all of us,
	whether it is the kind of car that we drive or the appliances that we have, it falls back to the activist government in California and just how big they are compared to other states and how they can throw that weight around, isn't it?
	Well, listen, Gavin Newsom will survive Gavin Newsom if he gets to be president.
	We survived Barack Obama.
	I think our system is strong enough.
	But you know what? We won't make the same amount of progress.
	People won't have the same opportunities.
	And I think our country will get weaker.
	And if our country gets weaker...
	I think the world is worse off for that reason.
	I'm involved in a movie about Ronald Reagan right now.
	It's going to come out in a couple of months.
	Reagan took over for Jimmy Carter.
	We were a weak nation, made weaker by Jimmy Carter.
	We had inflation. We had an oil crisis.
	We had threats from the Soviet Union.
	Reagan turned us around and said that we could do better and we could grow and give more people opportunity.
	We just got to get government out of the way.
	That's right. Well, you're absolutely right.
	Gavin Newsom is one of those that wants to empower government.
	You know, Hugo Chavez was the same in Venezuela.
	He promised people better stuff through the government.
	You know, Castro did the same for Cuba.
	Oh, you're going to get better health care.
	You're going to get better this and that.
	And guess what? Spectacular failures. I don't want to see the United States go down that route. And let me tell you, Joe Biden has taken us down that route.
	Jimmy Carter tried to. Ronald Reagan saved us. I don't necessarily see another Reagan on the horizon to save us from Joe Biden.
	And if it turns out to be Gavin Newsom, I think that could lead us further down this road to more government, more mismanagement, a lower standard of living, a weaker country, a weaker, more dangerous world I don't want to see that happen.
	I want to see us become a better country, and that's why I'm warning people about Gavin Newsom.
	That's why I'm publishing this book.
	That's why I'm appearing with you and getting this idea out.
	Well, talk a little bit about, you know, we're all, and I talk about this a great deal on this program, you know, his energy policies, his car policies and things like that that have an effect on other people.
	But also the immigration policy that he has there.
	You come in as an illegal immigrant, as you pointed out, you've got Hugo Chavez and you've got Castro promising all this free stuff to everybody, which is what the socialists and the Marxists do.
	But now we've got Gavin Newsom and other people like him promising it to people in other countries.
	At least Hugo Chavez was promising it to the Venezuelans.
	He wasn't promising it to, you know, the people from El Salvador or Peru or Mexico or whatever.
	You know, Gavin Newsom is promising it to the world.
	Just come here, get across that finish line, and you're done.
	You can collect unemployment. You get free medical care and all the rest of this stuff.
	And, of course, that's going to bankrupt us very rapidly.
	I think that was the plan.
	You know, Cloward and Piven economists talked about this years ago, said the welfare system.
	The state's not growing quickly enough, and we can make it grow even faster and make people even more, you know, poorer and more dependent on government if we can do this.
	And I think that's the real strategy that's there.
	Talk about, you know, what is happening with the immigration issues with Newsom.
	Yeah, the border. This is a prime example of a false choice that gets demagogued all the time, David.
	I'm a Jack Kemp Republican.
	I believe that the United States has benefited tremendously from bringing people who want to contribute to us into the country.
	Most other countries do the same thing.
	They have a very strong immigration policy that welcomes people who want to contribute to our growth and our opportunity.
	That's not what's happening with our southern border.
	Anybody and anybody can come across that border without any restrictions and without any knowledge of who they are or what they're planning to do.
	That's just as wrong as a total closing of every input to our country.
	We need to certainly get more people.
	Our kids are not having enough kids.
	I don't want to see us end up like Japan, which has a no-growth economy and has terrific problems caring for its elderly.
	We need to have some growth.
	We need to have controlled immigration.
	We need to know who's coming into the country.
	This is a false choice.
	The Democrats are just letting the borders completely open, which is just so incredibly wrong for our future.
	And frankly, it's misleading to everybody who's coming in as well.
	They think they're going to come here and live a wonderful life.
	And a lot of them discover that they're just not going to be able to.
	We need to make sure that our borders are secure.
	You can't have a secure country without it.
	And this is another example of politicians who just aren't leading.
	They're just not leveling with the people on both sides, frankly.
	I agree. I agree. Yeah, because there's a lot of, you know, again, I should point out, legal immigration, knowing who the people are, that's one thing.
	But no matter what they do at the border, if they've got this massive welfare magnet pulling people across and promising them free stuff, that's the real issue.
	And we shouldn't have a problem with people who want to work and people who want to be contributing to the economy, but we ought to know who's coming in.
	You just had this massive...
	In Ecuador, just massive prison breaks and drug cartels and everything.
	So what are they doing in neighboring Peru and other countries?
	They're saying, well, we sent police to the borders and we said, you're not coming in here unless you've got some kind of paperwork from your government showing you don't have a criminal record.
	We don't do any of that stuff.
	So they'll just come up here, you know, and come in.
	And they are. Yeah. And they are.
	Yeah. Yeah, they are coming up here, and again, the politicians just jither and demagogue, and they don't get the job done.
	they need to be securing the border, but then they need to make it easier for quality people, for people who are interested in working hard and contributing to America. And you're absolutely right, by the way, the welfare state in America is what's going to destroy us. I mean, we have got, we're spending what, six and a half trillion dollars this year. We're only, and I say only, raising four and a half trillion from the tax revenue,
	which by the way is a record.
	That's a record amount of tax revenue, but the politicians in Washington are spending it, and what are they doing?
	They're maintaining... A welfare state.
	You know, something like 80% of the people now are on Medicaid.
	They've expanded that all the way through all the states.
	And governors like Newsom have willingly taken this money.
	Interestingly, of course, you know, DeSantis, Abbott, a lot of red state governors have refused it.
	And why? Yeah.
	Because they know it's a drug.
	It's going to be there for one or two years, and then it's got to go because it's unsustainable.
	And they don't want to get tied into this drug.
	They don't want to balance their budgets on Medicaid.
	They want to make sure that they're sustainable.
	And it's not sustainable for the government to have our entire medical system supported by the government.
	Our medical system should be free market, just like...
	Cars, just like energy, just like every other good or service.
	It ought to be free market.
	It ought to be driven by the private sector.
	It ought to be driven by innovation.
	It ought to be driven by competition.
	Putting it in the hands of the government is the surest way to destroy it.
	Well, I agree. And yet, you look at this last three years, they don't want your physician to even have a say-so in your healthcare, let alone you.
	And when you look at the strings that come attached to this money that they give you, That was kind of the way they rolled this thing out.
	First, they gave them massive bonuses, you know, to follow the Fauci protocols in the hospitals.
	You diagnose somebody as a COVID patient, we'll give you a 20% bonus.
	And then the next year, after the bribery, what follows is the blackmail.
	We're not only going to take away that bonus, but we're going to take away all your Medicare and Medicaid patients and bankrupt you if you don't get all your staff shot, you know, with a vaccine.
	And guess who... And guess who are some of the biggest supporters of Gavin Newsom in California?
	Healthcare entities.
	That's one thing we can talk about is how they rolled out the vaccine mandates in California.
	And I believe that was under Newsom, wasn't it?
	Where they started saying, you're not going to have any religious or medical exemptions for any of these childhood vaccines.
	They've been laying the groundwork for this kind of stuff for a long time.
	And I think it's one of the reasons why Washington is pushing so hard to get everybody addicted to this Medicare, because that's going to be one of the most effective ways that they can use to control us and say, well, now you're going to have to get the ID, or you're not going to get any medical care.
	We've already seen that done by Gates in India with the Adhar system.
	We'll give you welfare, we'll give you medical care, but you're going to have to take the digital ID. And so there's all these strings that are attached to it, but they begin by bribing people.
	It's always... And guess what, David?
	Everybody is going to need health care at some point in their lives.
	And so the more government can control a service like that that almost everybody's going to need, the more the government then control your life.
	This is an old playbook.
	And Hugo Chavez used it.
	Castro used it.
	You know, you promise people something that they know they're going to need, and you tell them that government's going to provide it, and they'll give you their power.
	And that's what this is all about, David.
	It's about a small group of people trying to control the population.
	And it's the story of human history.
	You go back to the pharaohs.
	It's the story of human history.
	The United States has stood out among all the countries that ever existed as a place where government was limited.
	The Constitution was about limiting the scope and size of government.
	And along the way, we really have lost that idea.
	We really let that idea slip.
	And I think it's time to bring it back.
	That's what our proposal is all about with Hear the People.
	Putting those limits back on government, and I think the people, you know, they do want to run their own lives.
	They don't want government telling them how to live.
	That was Ronald Reagan's plea to us.
	That was the key to his success and appeal.
	We need another Ronald Reagan, and that's in the book, too, by the way, so you'll get the chance to read that.
	Well, you know, when you look at the rights, and as you correctly pointed out, it was about prohibiting government from interfering with our God-given rights.
	That's what the Bill of Rights was about.
	It's very clever. I remember when Obama was running for president, or shortly after he got elected.
	I can't remember exactly when he said it.
	It was at the very beginning. And he said, and he taught this, and he knew exactly what he was doing, but they control the way that you perceive things by the terminology.
	And so he said, well, you know, I know that this is set up, and we've got prohibitions there for government.
	We call that negative rights.
	But, you know, a positive right is your right to health care, or your right to an education, or to housing, or to this.
	And it's like, oh, whoa, I want the positive stuff.
	I don't want the negative stuff anymore.
	Completely turned it upside down by using those labels, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the Constitution.
	He knew that, but he's great at selling stuff, isn't he?
	I knew Obama very well.
	I'm from Illinois. I'm from Chicago.
	And I ran for the U.S. Senate, and I once debated Obama for an hour and a half just on those ideas, education and health care.
	And you know, David, you know what his big...
	Response to me was, we need government to help people with education and healthcare.
	We can't let people, and these are his words, fend for themselves.
	We can't let people, people are too stupid in his world, people are too stupid to choose their own healthcare or their own education.
	Government has to do it for them.
	And darned if that wasn't his program on becoming President of the United States, he convinced the media that it was a great thing, that government should control your education, government should control health care, you're too stupid to choose it on your own.
	My answer was people can choose their health care, people can choose education if they're given the tools to do so, and they want to choose that.
	And frankly, they should be able to because that means we have competition.
	And when you have competition, you have quality and you have lower costs.
	Yeah, that's right. But Obama didn't want to hear that.
	I mean, he disagreed with me on that.
	And we debated on that.
	I wish I had a tape of that debate, by the way, because it was an hour and a half and he and I were the only ones there.
	I wish you would have beat him.
	I wish you would have beat him in the election.
	Yeah. I'm sure you beat him in the debate, but I wish you'd beat him in the election.
	It would have been a very different world, wouldn't it, if we'd had John Cox instead of Barack Obama.
	But, you know, that's the same kind of argument, John, that if you go back and you look at Civil War history, we talk about Civil War a lot.
	Everybody wants to talk about the Civil War now.
	Well, you go back and you look at it, and you've got a lot of people who were plantation owners and slave owners, and they said, well, we realize this really isn't a very good system, and we feel bad about the fact that we're controlling these people and enslaving them.
	But, you know, it's for their own good.
	If we let them loose, they just wouldn't be able to survive.
	You know, it's that kind of paternalism that Obama is selling.
	That's a slave plantation mentality, and it's actually the mentality of the plantation owners.
	Well, I have to enslave them for their own good.
	And that's why Reagan's message was so wonderful because it was just so simple.
	You know, the eight most dangerous words in the English language is I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.
	You know, the stuff that Reagan said was so true to so many people.
	You've got to get government out of the way.
	Government can't be all things to all people.
	Government should do our defense because we don't want people owning nuclear weapons and tanks and other things like that.
	So government... We should provide national defense, and that's what the Constitution specifically says.
	But on all these other things, healthcare, education, government shouldn't be providing those things.
	Government should create the avenues for private industry to be able to provide those things, and that's what we've got to get back to.
	And yet, as I'm sure you're aware, you know, you're talking about education.
	We just had Biden's education secretary.
	So, you know, that's our mission statement.
	I'm from the government. I'm here to help you.
	Totally oblivious to the fact that Reagan used that as the fearful words that everybody doesn't want to hear.
	I'm sure you're aware of that. It was really funny that he bought into that.
	And so few people called him on it.
	It truly is amazing to see that.
	Well, I think you've got a great plan.
	I'm sure that it's a very...
	Well, I know that it is a very relevant book.
	Gavin Newsom, whether there's a presidential race or not, has a tremendous impact on everything across the country.
	People need to understand where he's coming from.
	A good example of an elitist politician that we don't want to keep promulgating that system.
	And it's great to see that in your book...
	Yes. Okay, good. So, great talking to you, and I'm so grateful that you come up with this plan.
	We need people to think outside of the box that they have put us into, and we need to look for state solutions, and we need to look for ways that we can...
	I look at this as essentially a way of nullification, a positive way to nullify this calcified system that has become so self-interested, and that it won't respond to us, and it can't be reformed.
	So I think that's a very important way to do it.
	And let me make this clear, by the way.
	Here the people is not partisan in any way.
	Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump would agree on the same thing in one sense.
	Bernie Sanders talks about corporations and millionaires and billionaires.
	Donald Trump talks about the deep state and the media and the fake news, right?
	Well, you know... Here the people gets rid of both.
	Here the people puts the power back in the people's hands, gets rid of the media influence, and gets rid of the big corporations.
	And so I think people can look at it as a bipartisan, as a solution that both sides, that all the people can get around and believe is the right way for us to go.
	I agree. And even as we try to engage and debate ourselves on social media and they try to censor us, this is a way that people can get directly involved.
	And it is something that is a personal, direct person-to-person type of thing, grassroots, moving up.
	These are all the things that we need to be looking to.
	These are all elements of what I think are going to be any successful solution.
	So thank you so much for doing that again.
	Here are thepeople.org, and the book is Newsom's Nightmare, The Newsom Nightmare.
	Yeah. You'll find that on Amazon.
	Thank you so much for joining us, John Cox.
	Appreciate it. Thank you, David.
	Really a pleasure to be with you. Thank you.
	We've got just a little bit of time left and just enough time for me to thank Stephen Patterson.
	Thank you again, Stephen.
	That is very generous. I appreciate the tip on Rockfin.
	We're about ready to go out, so I'll just cut this short.
	Tomorrow we're going to talk a little bit more about the pharmaceutical stuff that I did not get to today because there's some very important updates on that.
	Yes, Fox News is out there trying to sell measles panic again.
	And we shut that down once and for all.
	But that's always the way they begin.
	And they keep going back to that. That's their bread and butter.
	That's their pharmaceutical sponsors that they've got there.
	Thank you for joining us.
	Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah, good job.
	Ha ha ha! And you want to know something else?
