	the world.
	You're listening to The David Night Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday the 15th of February, Year of Our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to begin again with what is happening in Davos, and we're going to take a look at how their prophecies for the future have worked out.
	It's an encouraging look, and we're going to look at whether it is slipping.
	And what we have to do to build our society.
	That's the key thing. As I said before, we can't win a culture war without a culture.
	We can't win a spiritual war without God.
	And so that is the key thing when we look at this.
	Understand that the plan has been laid out.
	And it is very interesting to take a look...
	At what our government has done with Russian sanctions.
	Of course, we know they're not working with Russia.
	We're going to take a deep look at that.
	The Russian sanctions folks are really more about us.
	Just as I fear that these calls for ID from Republicans, E-Verify to get a job and voter ID and things like that, and the walls, is more directed to keeping us in than to keeping anyone out.
	We'll be right back. All right.
	Karen has told me that today is February the 15th.
	I must have said the wrong thing. Did I say the wrong thing?
	Okay. Well, I don't know.
	Maybe I did. We'll see.
	Anyway, neuroweapons.
	Maybe that's what's happening to me.
	Who knows? Maybe that neuroweapon is just age.
	Neuroweapons and the worldwide battle to control human brains.
	And there's a couple of essays that people have written on the narratives being used, the institutions being used, but also the technology being used.
	And at the very epicenter of this, which is not really mentioned here, because, you know, we're not supposed to talk about Trump or Musk, or Tucker.
	These are the people who are going to, or Trump, you know, all these people, they're going to save us.
	Let me say, if your hope is in Trump, you have no hope.
	That's all I can say.
	But this manga hero, Musk, I just saw yet another rumor that maybe he's going to buy Disney.
	Oh, wouldn't that be great?
	Elon Musk would fix Disney for us.
	Well, you know, Disney was kind of off-center in its message for a long time anyway.
	It was kind of focused on magic and everything.
	It did have a nostalgia for small-town America.
	Disney did more about American history and the American mythology.
	That's the basis of our culture.
	He did more in terms of positive things for that, telling great stories and that type of thing.
	I don't really know what kind of stories Musk would be telling us because he's made a lot of money telling stories to governments about climate change.
	He wants global carbon taxes.
	Would he do some kind of Captain Planet thing like Ted Turner did?
	I don't know.
	But he is the hero.
	And he's the guy who really kind of took the lead on all this stuff.
	And his Neuralink, but now there's a lot of people that are doing brain-computer interfaces.
	And quite frankly, this isn't anything that he invented either.
	This is something that DARPA has been working on for a very long time.
	I talked yesterday about the occultic Actions of the military, you know, believing that they can do remote viewing and other things like that.
	But this has been, you know, DARPA has been at the center of that, as well as the CIA. They have focused on very dark manipulations, very satanic means of doing this.
	And, of course, jacking into somebody's brain...
	So they can play Pong?
	Is that really what's going on?
	Do you really want to be able to do that?
	Yeah, sure, that's worth opening up your head and sticking electrodes on your brain to do.
	No, they have something more sinister in mind.
	I think anybody with any discernment understands that.
	But the brain-computer interfaces, the BCI, has now spread to a lot of different companies.
	You know, Microsoft is a part of it.
	Many high-tech companies have a hand in this.
	There's an essay here by Mojmir Babichak.
	And he is somebody that is identified as having been working on neurotechnology since the 1990s.
	Again, long before Musk started championing Neuralink, this has been going on.
	And he was getting government-funded research for this because that's why we have such dark technology.
	That's why technology has been taken over.
	Instead of serving the use of mankind, it is being used to serve people in power.
	And that's what's become evil about this military industrial academic complex that Eisenhower warned us about.
	With unlimited amounts of money, they have repurposed and taken over with money all of the research that And they're using it for dark purposes.
	Anyway, he's been doing this since the 1990s.
	He recently stated it's necessary that world governments sign an international agreement banning the use of neurotechnologies and artificial intelligence to control the activity of human brains.
	This is coming from Exposé News, if you want to see the article.
	But treaties like that are great, and there is some benefit to them.
	I'm not going to say there isn't any benefit to them.
	But of course, you know, we've had treaties right after the Vietnam War.
	You had a guy who was given medals by the American government for what he had done for weather modification in Vietnam.
	You immediately had a treaty, worldwide treaty, not to modify the weather.
	How's that working out for us?
	Do they obey that? Many treaties are made to be broken, especially the ones the U.S. government makes.
	You look at the book that was written by Russell Brand, and he said, white man, the government has broken every treaty with the Indians that they've ever made.
	Because your treaty with the American government is the Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights.
	And they've broken every aspect of that as well.
	The name of the book was Where White Men Fear to Tread.
	And so this is something that has been rolling out for a very long time.
	I touched on a little bit of this yesterday with the mind war.
	I'm talking about Michael Aquino, the guy, the Satanist pedophile protected by the NSA who wrote the book Mind War about psyops and other means of controlling people, but also about RF control of people's minds, talking about extremely low frequencies, how that could affect moods and other things like that.
	So even back in the 1980s, he was writing about how they could use directed energy weapons or radio frequency to control people's minds.
	In December 2021, At the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, it was approved for public release, a study that was done by a couple of guys doing their master's of science degree in defense analysis.
	It was called NeuroWar is here.
	So this is a little bit more granular than what the Satanist, Michael Aquino, was talking about.
	He was talking about mind war.
	This is NeuroWar.
	So it's more specific, more targeted to physiology.
	They say, Great power competition has returned to the forefront of international relations as China and Russia seek to contest America's global leadership.
	The contest is ultimately a battle to manipulate and control both adversaries and domestic populations alike.
	The battle for influence begins and ends in the human mind where reality is perceived.
	You see, we're in a war right now for reality.
	The transgender stuff.
	The furries stuff, virtual reality, augmented reality, DEI, all of this stuff is to deny what we obviously see as fundamental realities of life.
	Now, I don't believe what you see there.
	I mean, even to the extent that this, I'm still not really sure what gender, what sex, because I see those things are the same.
	I'm still not sure about that shooter.
	We shot up Joel Osteen's church.
	Because I don't trust anymore the media.
	When people start using the term her, I started having second thoughts.
	I thought, oh, they're just using her preferred pronouns.
	It's really a guy. Because the name going back was Jeffrey something or the other.
	But it's not clear.
	And as I looked at comments from her family, the child belonged to that person.
	And it appeared that her mother-in-law was saying that she was married to a guy, so that would mean that a guy and a girl are going to have a child.
	That means that she has to be female.
	Have you ever noticed that?
	This is a marvel of deduction.
	So perhaps she really is a her.
	Maybe this is another one of these cases, just like the Nashville shooter.
	You have a woman who wants to be a man and shows their manly creds by shooting up people, innocent people.
	I mention that because reality is just floating.
	I can't trust what the media is saying anymore with this stuff, even when it comes to pronouns and things like that.
	So reality has been removed.
	And so the perception of reality, even at that level, Even at the level of news and media and entertainment and education, they're messing with reality.
	Even before you get into things like directed energy weapons or anything like that, or neuro weapons.
	So these guys, when they did their paper in Monterey, They identified neuroweapons as the weapons of this battle.
	They said they specifically target the brain or the central nervous system.
	That's why they're getting more specific about the physiology of this.
	In order to affect the targeted person's mental state, mental capacity, ultimately the person's behavior in a specific and predictable way.
	So in a war scenario, you might use frequencies that are going to make people nauseous or going to get them confused.
	But they can't think straight.
	But perhaps the more dangerous ones are the things that are coming from the media and the government and the schools and all the rest of that.
	Does it not mean that we're living in a world where mass media is hiding from people the ongoing battle for the control of their minds and their thoughts?
	Again, I think that...
	The battle that we see in the media over the transgender stuff, over transhumanism, over virtual reality, furries, and all the rest of the stuff.
	I think that is the key battle.
	That is the key battle. In a battle scenario, yeah, they might hit you with RF frequencies to confuse you.
	To kill you, to set you on fire, you know, they use really high frequencies.
	It's just going to travel on the skin.
	It feels like the skin is burning even if it's not burning.
	So it inflicts pain.
	They use that as crowd control.
	But the key thing really is this transgender, transhumanism thing.
	In the year 2000, the European Parliament Panel for the Future of Science and Technology published a study on crowd control technologies.
	They admitted in October of 1999, NATO announced its new policy on non-lethal weapons and their place in an allied arsenal.
	Because you've got to keep those farmers under control.
	They realize that you're planning on starving them.
	Even though the mass population doesn't realize that if the farmers are starving, you're starving too.
	The most controversial non-lethal crowd control and anti-material technology proposed by the U.S. are the so-called radio frequency or directed energy weapons that can allegedly manipulate human behavior in a variety of unusual ways.
	The greatest concern is with systems which can directly interact with the human nervous system.
	Research has been conducted by both the U.S. and Russia, and he says it's divided into two related areas.
	Individual mind control and crowd control.
	He said the EU is the only big agglomeration of states that does not have its own technology for mass manipulation of human brains.
	No, actually they do, because they've really taken the lead in many regards.
	In terms of censorship and propaganda, they're very open about that.
	They don't even try to hide the fact that they're going to control information.
	Again, that is the key part of mind control.
	China, with the help of Russia, recently finished construction of its system in the Hainan province.
	The U.S. operates HAARP and Russia operates a system called SURA. These are capable of producing strong electric currents in the ionosphere.
	By transmitting there. So, what would they use that for?
	He talks about alternating currents producing in the ionosphere strong electromagnetic waves in the brain frequencies.
	Well, I don't know what the brain frequencies are, frankly.
	I don't know. The brain is affected differently by different frequencies.
	You can fry somebody's brain with a microwave.
	You can make them nauseous with a different wavelength of ELF. You can, if you give them a different wavelength, They can get disoriented.
	They can hear crickets, as we saw with Alan Fry and his experiments.
	His assistant started hearing, like, clicking noises.
	Oh, that was all done by...
	So I'm not really sure what he means by brain frequencies.
	But he's very concerned with the proliferation...
	Of all EMF activities, because we live in a world now where our governments are weaponizing against us, not just against each other, but against us.
	And that's why, you know, when we look at politics, for example, everybody says, well, you know, we got the Russians over here and the Chinese over here, but as they use these weapons against them, they also bring these weapons home against us.
	Madison said that was what's going to happen.
	You have a standing army, you have weapons of war abroad, you become instruments of tyranny at home.
	You see, these people are worried about any opposition in their own country as much, if not more so, than they are from foreign countries.
	So at the present time, he says there's no international agreement banning the use of artificial intelligence and neurotechnologies, as I said before.
	But again, the geoengineering goes on.
	Despite the treaties for weather against weather modification, going back to 1997, the Strategic Studies Institute, the U.S. Army War College, published a book called Revolution in Military Affairs and Conflict Short of War.
	As a matter of fact, when I was doing research on the asymmetric warfare stuff, because there's a lot of different places where they're practicing to conduct actual kinetic warfare, you know, shooting, fighting, that type of thing.
	In American environments, they have asymmetric warfare bases that have created a fully intact...
	The urban practice area.
	Another one that has suburban.
	Another one that has rural.
	So these are in different military bases.
	But as I was looking at that, McRaven was saying the...
	Purpose of special forces has traditionally been PSYOP. That's where it really began.
	To try to shut down the enemy before conflict even begins, before kinetic conflict even begins.
	Everybody focuses on the Green Berets of fighting soldiers from the sky, you know, Barry something, I can't remember that guy's name, but you know, the John Wayne movie, or the Navy SEALs and that type of thing.
	But he said, really, the purpose has been to identify who your opponents are and to shut them down various ways before any conflict begins.
	That's why you see so much focus on disinformation, misinformation, malinformation, all this being pushed out by the U.S. and the EU. They want to shut things down before they begin.
	Potential or possible supporters of the insurgency around the world are identified.
	Back in 1997, they had an interagency integrated database.
	They categorized people as potential or active threats.
	They said they were sophisticated personality simulations used to develop, tailor, and focus psychological campaigns on each of them.
	But of course, this is back in the 1990s, and that was about the same time they began very actively working on geospatial engineering, the fastest growing part of the intelligence community, producing things such as anticipatory intelligence, trying to anticipate what people are going to do.
	Geospatial intelligence is about mapping your political, religious views, and many other things based on inferences made by the things that you do, where you go, your friends, who you're connected with, and all those sorts of things.
	That's been where James Clapper rode the ladder of success up through that intelligence bureaucracy.
	Anyway, the world government's signing an international agreement banning the use of neurotechnologies and artificial intelligence.
	Well, good luck with that.
	You know, we have people who have been calling for Bans on autonomous killer robots for a long time.
	I talked to Professor Noel Sharkey probably about a decade ago.
	And he was trying to organize this effort.
	People tried to organize efforts to stop biological warfare.
	But it continues to go on.
	The research just keeps going.
	And it always is driven by this fear that the other people are going to get it first.
	Same thing that drives all these arms races.
	So the World Economic Forum and its predictive movies.
	This is something that was written by Peter Koenig, a geopolitical analyst, former senior economist at the World Bank and World Health Organization.
	And he said, as I was talking about yesterday, the dark satanic side of all this.
	He said these organizations that he used to work for are a dark cult.
	That's his words. And he said they have to warn us and inform us of their plans.
	And so they do that through various things like predictive programming.
	Actually, they're doing it now to a great degree through Davos and the World Government Summit and various things like that.
	And so there is a satanic aspect to this, quite frankly.
	You have to accept this.
	And your acceptance, as far as they look at it, is your passivity.
	Here's what we're going to do.
	We're going to do this and this, and you just sat there, and it's like, oh, okay.
	Well, you consented to that by doing nothing.
	And they may have coercion and other things like that that we saw during the lockdowns, but passivity is consent.
	Inaction is consent.
	But through this, he talks about how Hollywood has pushed out, you know, 18 pandemic-themed movies that were pretty big, and how they put out a couple of dozen movies about runaway technology, robots, artificial intelligence.
	We've seen all the usual stuff.
	And what he doesn't talk about in this article, but I think is equally important, Is that it's always a part of the movies because, for various reasons, certainly Hollywood always focus tests its movies.
	And they always want to have a happy ending in them.
	If you go back and look at Brazil by Terry Gilliam that he did in 1984, his dark comedy dystopia, it does not have a happy ending.
	And they did not want to release that movie.
	The studio did not want to release that movie.
	It wasn't the set 90 minutes that they liked to have.
	It was a little bit longer. And that was a much bigger deal back then than it is now.
	Of course, now they don't really even bother to make movies.
	But we went through a period of time there where you would have fairly long epic movies like Lord of the Rings or some of these Marvel superhero movies.
	But back then, 90 minutes was a very important thing, and they even had it down to a pacing.
	At this many minutes in, first you're going to introduce people to the world, you're going to have fun in games, you're going to establish some characters with them, and then there's going to be some kind of a conflict that's going to result in the dark night of the soul where everything comes together.
	These are all terms that were created by...
	A guy who wrote a book called Save the Cat, and it became kind of a textbook for scriptwriters to keep that pacing.
	They didn't like the fact that it was long, but the main thing that they objected to was the fact that it didn't have a happy ending.
	They even did a happy ending.
	And if you get the collector's Blu-ray disc from Criterion or whatever, you can see the happy ending where love conquers all.
	The typical Hollywood ending.
	And so they always want to have a happy ending.
	And so that's one of the reasons why all of these dystopian films, not all of them, but almost all of them, will have a happy ending where the hero saves the day.
	That's a key part of the predictive program he doesn't talk about here.
	I think that's a very key part of it.
	They show you this dark, dystopian world, and there's going to be the one lone hero.
	That kind of predictive programming is why people are putting all of their hopes on Trump.
	Or why they bring Tucker Carlson to the World Government Summit.
	The World Government Summit needs the attention.
	But they also want people to see what they're doing, to passively sit there and do nothing about it, and then to bring in the hero, Tucker Carlson, who, like Sarah Connors, is going to save the day.
	Seriously, this is, I think, this is my take on what's going on with this, why they would bring him in.
	They want the publicity. They want you to see the predictive programming of things that they're talking about doing.
	And then they have the hero who's going to tell them off and say, we see what you're doing.
	Yet nothing is done.
	He doesn't do a full expose.
	The Republicans sit by and do absolutely nothing.
	They campaign on it. It's like, you see what these people are going to do?
	You should vote for me. And then you vote for them and they do nothing.
	Right? They consent to what is being done.
	Whether you're talking about the Paris Climate Treaty Accord or whatever, they never stop any of that stuff.
	They never call BS on the Paris Climate Treaty, as I've mentioned over and over again.
	Any of the senators could have done it.
	The president could have done it. Anybody could have done it.
	You could have had congressmen say, hey, you're not doing your job in the Senate.
	Because, you know, congressmen typically want to become senators because they don't have to run as frequently.
	Some other fringe benefits about that.
	But it's a more powerful job.
	So, hey, if you want to get into the Senate, say, elect me.
	These guys are letting this Paris treaty come in and it's never been ratified.
	And we're all pretending that it's been ratified.
	It's all a con game.
	All of it is a con game.
	So, I know from years past that A friend of mine in high school went to work for the military, and one of the things that he did was he looked at scripts.
	And they would evaluate the scripts.
	If the scripts were a positive message about the military, that the military liked, presented the military the way they wanted to be presented, well, then they would give them access to all kinds of military equipment.
	Yeah, here's some tanks. We'll let you film planes.
	We'll fly them by or do whatever you want to do.
	But if they didn't like the script, you're not going to get anything.
	That was their leverage. It's always the money, the strings attached.
	This is the way it's always done.
	The CIA. I don't know if they still have it up now.
	Years ago, I would go to their site and they said, let us know if you've got a good scenario.
	We'll give you some money to make this film.
	That's how you get so many of these dystopian predictive films.
	But they also had scripts.
	So if you're a script writer, You could contact the CIA and they've already got some scenarios.
	You just fill in the characters and the dialogue.
	But they've got the skeleton there of these types of scenarios.
	They offered those to writers.
	So, we're being told, as he says, ad nauseum, that there's a virus X out there and Pfizer tells us they're already working on a vaccine for this unknown virus.
	This is...
	This is the absurdity of all of this stuff.
	But of course, that's not really that much different.
	If you paid attention to what was going on with vaccines before the Trump shot, that was what they did every year with the flu shot.
	Every year they would say, get your flu shot.
	But they had manufactured these things.
	They had to culture stuff, and they had to pick a strain that they were going to do and to culture it, and they had to do that months and months before it was going to go out.
	Now, that was their story.
	Whether or not the vaccines work, whether or not there was a virus that was out there, that was their story.
	And their story was absurd on the face of it.
	With all the different variations and mutations and things you could have with a virus, assuming you believe the virus germ theory stuff, with all of that stuff that is there, how do they know which one to do?
	Well, they don't. They just pick one, hope they get lucky.
	But the reality that they didn't want people to see, which we kept pointing out, was that it attacked their immune system.
	And the people who got the flu shot got sick immediately because...
	That time of year when people typically get sick, if your immune system is depressed, you get sick.
	So that was the only reality of that.
	So when you look at the dystopian movies of predictive behavior, there's so many different ways that they're selling that.
	And as I point out, Klaus and Schwab and the World Economic Forum are now not talking about simply transplanting body parts and transplanting somebody's mind into some body.
	Mechanical thing, but also the transplanting of chips and things like that to manipulate and control humanity.
	This is coming in multiple different ways.
	Klaus Schwab predicted back in 2016 that by next year, 2025, people would probably all have chips implanted so we could communicate with each other telepathically.
	So is he slipping a little bit here?
	You know, we're at the point now, they've been rolling this stuff out, that their fake predictions are ripe to be debunked.
	And, you know, for the longest time, they were running this climate scam.
	It began when I was in high school.
	1970 was the first Earth Day.
	Telling everybody we're going into a nice age.
	We've got to reduce the population.
	We're not going to be able to feed everybody, all the rest of this stuff.
	And that we're going to be out of oil.
	Within five or six years, all these dire predictions, none of which, none of which came true.
	And they just continue to pile these things up, and they keep on running, but anybody who's paying attention, they don't have any credibility.
	Now you've got Klaus Schwab out there with all of his dystopian predictions about how technology is going to be used to control us, and yet he's already slipping in all of this.
	And so the question asked by LifeSite News is, is his influence weakening?
	Is the influence of these globalist organizations like the World Government Summit, is that slipping?
	It's kind of interesting that COP28, the most recent one of these environmental things, was in December, December 2023.
	The next month, they'll go to Davos, to Switzerland in January.
	And the one that was in December was in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
	So they go from Dubai in December to Switzerland, Davos in January.
	And now they're back in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for this world government summit.
	And this thing is only about a decade old.
	It's not as old as Klaus Schwab.
	And as I point out in this LifeSite article, they don't really have a very good lineup there.
	Davos, Schwab is still packing some people in.
	He had the European president, Ursula, fond of lying.
	She was there. I use her in that bond, you know, little bumper that I've got.
	Macron was there.
	You had a couple of high-ranking officials in the Biden administration.
	You had Jake Sullivan. You had Blinken, Secretary of State, the National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, were there.
	Because you're not going to get Biden there.
	He can't speak. So, of course, that's about as good as they're going to get from the U.S. They had the president of the U.N. was there.
	They had Javier Malay.
	Again, he was our hero to make everybody think that we're going to keep this thing under control.
	We're going to keep these people under control.
	So don't worry about it.
	You've got a hero who's going to fight the battle for you.
	We can beat them.
	It's just don't trust that Javier Malai or Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump or any of these people are going to do it for you.
	See, that's part of the lie.
	That's part of the predictive programming.
	So, despite the name of this World Government Summit, it seems hardly to have any big names there.
	The biggest name was the Prime Minister of India, Modi.
	And then they had the Prime Ministers of Rwanda.
	And a bunch of NGO people that were there.
	They said, why is Schwab in Dubai at all then?
	Well, he was there to bring the audience up.
	Same reason that Tucker was there, to bring their audience up, but also to do predictive programming.
	Schwab seeks to market his vision.
	Of a post-human technocratic future society.
	This itself turns out to be drawn largely from the imagination of a 1960s and 70s deep state futurist called Herman Kahn, writes the LifeSite News.
	It's basically a greatest tits compilation of Kahn's paper of the year 2000.
	And in this article, I'm not going to go over the details of it, but in this article they have a link to how his predictions worked out.
	And it's kind of interesting, if you follow that link, they've got them in three different colors.
	So they'll have line by line, you know, he says we're going to have this or this, you know, flying cars or whatever.
	Or it'll show something that happened by the year 2000.
	And they'll color code them to say, well, we got it right on this.
	This one was a total miss.
	Or a near hit.
	So they have three different color codes on it.
	So it's kind of interesting to go down that list.
	I'm not going to read it to you. But Schwab was introduced to Herman Kahn by none other than Henry Kissinger, the depopulationist.
	He also brought together John Kenneth Galbraith, the Keynesian economist who was a court jester of all these governments telling us that debts don't matter.
	So Kissinger brought together Galbraith, Schwab, Herman Kahn, all these people together.
	Kahn suggested in 1967 that democracy should be managed by training a select group of global leaders.
	In other words, these are people who are technocrats.
	The technocracy.
	And the World Economic Forum, of course, has its young global leaders where they want to push this stuff out.
	But again, the summit's title again exaggerates its influence being, again, largely a conference of gulf princes.
	You noticed when you look at the audience, everybody is wearing a sheet.
	A pack with a future.
	Why the pandemic agreements is mission critical, they said.
	Last year's summit promoted the disturbing vision of a digital dystopia through its Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Forum.
	Though the EU has announced plans to proceed with digital ID, the US-backed global template for digital government has been piloted in Ukraine.
	That's the D-I-I-A. Digital Illumination Interface Alliance.
	And I've played this for you as well.
	But let me remind you, this was immediately hit the ground as the Russian-Ukraine conflict began.
	And it was like, let's think eight years in the future, 2030.
	And this is what the world is going to look like.
	And understand, this is an American vision.
	This is not something that's coming out of the Ukraine government.
	Ukraine is just a beta test.
	It's a surrogate in so many different ways.
	This is an American vision of the future.
	Let's look eight years ahead.
	2030. The history of the new Ukraine is studied all over the globe.
	Why? Because Ukraine became the most digital and convenient country in the world.
	Scripps have replaced bureaucrats.
	500,000 former public servants are successfully integrated in the new economy.
	No more red tape but paperless.
	No more banknotes but cashless.
	Yes, we became the first country to abandon paper money.
	Ukraine now has the best tech system for the IT industry and the most affordable e-residency.
	Thanks to Ukrainian engineers and programmers, the R&D centers of the world's top technology companies operate successfully, and Ukraine ranks first in the world by the number of startups per capita.
	Ukrainian courts are guided by artificial intelligence and all notarial acts take place online.
	Ukrainian customs is fully automatic and the fastest in the world.
	Customs clearance and car registration can now be done in three clicks from your smartphone.
	Because of war and internal migration, we have built the most flexible in modern digital education.
	Brave military and civilians get quality treatment with modern remote monitoring and e-health systems.
	Ukraine also has the most effective cyber defense in the world.
	After the horrors of 2022, Ukraine focused on security systems.
	Now every production facility has its air defense system, and the sleep of Ukrainians is protected by an ultra-modern iron dome.
	The Ukrainian government is digital, more like an IT company in terms of the efficiency of implementing decisions.
	And one can register a land plot, start construction, open a business or get a license, and register a car or real estate from a smartphone automatically in one click.
	Ukraine is the freest and digital.
	This is all because international partners and the world's leading technology companies supported the Digital for Freedom initiative and united to help Ukraine recover through digitalization.
	Building a new Ukraine together.
	Free and the fastest.
	Brave and digital.
	Yeah, pretty nightmarish scenario, isn't it?
	And as annoying as all of these things she's talking about are, that soundtrack sets me on edge too.
	It's like, what a dystopian future.
	But that is an American vision for them.
	That was produced at the very beginning of this conflict.
	These people are at war, defending their country.
	They've got time to do this kind of stuff.
	No, this is all funded just like everything else.
	Ukraine is our cat's paw.
	And that is the vision, not of Zelensky.
	He's a puppet. He's a comedian.
	That's the vision of the CIA, our real government here in this country, that creates the coups in Ukraine, that creates the wars and all the rest of this.
	And when you stop and think about this, they knew exactly this time frame.
	As I've pointed out over and over again, in 2019, Arrestovich, who was really, it was amazing how candid he was with the media.
	I mean, he would say the quiet part out loud and really didn't care about it.
	It eventually cost him his job.
	When they had a drone that went down, hit an office building, and the official story was, well, those Russians are attacking residential cities.
	And he said, no, it was our people who shot it and took it off course, and then it hit the building.
	They fired him for that. But before that, it was really amazing because he went on Ukrainian television, as I pointed out many times, Alexander Restovich.
	The Zelensky administration got elected on a platform of ending the Civil War that had been pursued by the CIA-installed government against the eastern provinces that wanted to go with Russia.
	They shelled those civilian areas for five years.
	And everybody wanted to have peace.
	And he was, after Zelensky got elected on that platform, Arrestovich was the guy who went to the peace conference.
	Then he went on TV, and they said, are we going to have peace?
	He said, no. He says, as a matter of fact, it's going to get worse.
	And he said, in 2022, the war is going to start.
	How do you know that? How do you know that, unless they're designing that?
	And he said, it's going to be horrible.
	This country is going to be devastated.
	She said, oh, no. He goes, yeah, but the good news is we'll get into NATO. See, the good news is the country gets devastated, but they get the survivors under their complete technological surveillance program that they already put in place, and they want that same program for us.
	And go from Ukraine to Utah.
	I don't know if you know that the office of the governor in this state three or four years ago announced explicitly that they intended to become the cradle of the fourth industrial revolution.
	That's in black and white from the office of the governor in 2019, so we can figure out whether it was governor he, him, or somebody else that did that.
	I'm not super up on Utah politics, I confess.
	There are 49 other states that are also on fire that I have to attend to sometimes.
	But the fact of the matter is that the Fourth Industrial Revolution is one of the many names for the gigantic transformation of our entire civilization and way of life that nobody should want to be a part of.
	And Utah has taken it upon itself to be the national leader in that program.
	Which could only possibly be happening if it were an extremely fake conservative state.
	Which is, by the way, if I were a subversive communist and I wanted to try to pull off a gigantic heist, I wouldn't put it in a blatantly liberal or progressive state.
	I would put it in a red state where nobody's looking.
	That's right. Or you would put it behind a New York Democrat who says he's now a Republican like Trump.
	As I said over and over again, Hillary Clinton would have never gotten away with 2020.
	The conservatives would have fought her over it.
	Fought her over it. That would have been the beginning of a civil war if Hillary had tried to do what Trump did.
	But they'd just stand down.
	Especially because you've got people like Alex Jones saying it's 4D chess.
	He's still on our side.
	Even though he's doing this, he's still on our side.
	And even though he's creating a massive depopulation shot with a technology that nobody's ever seen before...
	The genetic code injection.
	Don't worry about it. This isn't the bad vaccine of Gates, said Alex Jones.
	This isn't even a commercial cut on it.
	I've played that for you.
	So this is the good one.
	And you can take this.
	It's dead. It's weak.
	No, it's not even, they don't even pretend to say that it's a virus.
	It was mRNA.
	It was a genetic code injection.
	They said you can take that. It's basically like sugar water.
	So you got people in the press like that selling you the idea that Donald Trump is on our side.
	And they create this funny professional wrestling at all these different globalist things.
	Oh yeah, I'm going to come against NATO. I'm going to do this.
	Of course he didn't, did he?
	But it got up his street creds.
	Everybody believed that he was on our side.
	And so, just as he said, if you were going to subvert this, that's James Lindsay, by the way.
	He said, I would go into a Republican state and get somebody there to sell this to people.
	If I want to impose something like a global lockdown and fund a global genetic code injection, I'm going to use the Republican president to do that because they'll trust him.
	They'll trust him. That's where we are at the moment.
	Let me just read some of these.
	By the way, Greg Talent, thank you very much for the tip.
	And regarding the ad, Northwest Free Zone says, yes, military propaganda.
	Absolutely. Oh, by the way, I didn't mention the fact that it's not just...
	Me making that distinction, well, this is coming out of Ukraine, and we know that this is because Ukraine is an American puppet created by the CIA. No, actually, Samantha Powers has pushed this D.I.I.A. that was described in that propaganda video.
	She has pushed that.
	And she has, she said, in December 2023, she is determined to see it exported to all nations that were under influence of the U.S. All the nations that were under the influence of the U.S. and said we've successfully gotten it adopted in Ecuador, for example. So they're pushing it out.
	She says that's their plan.
	It's not just that it's in Ukraine.
	We know that what is happening in Ukraine.
	That's why they're so focused on it.
	We've got to have money for Ukraine.
	$60 billion for Ukraine.
	And you better give it to them. Not a penny for the border, but $60 billion for Ukraine.
	And of course, the response of the Republicans is...
	Well, we've got to have money for the border, but the response of the Republicans, which really bothers me, is that, oh no, we can't give you the $60 billion for Ukraine.
	But they are going to fund $60 billion for the IRS to be weaponized against us, you see?
	That's where the Republicans are.
	Also, Trump Burger Forever says, this is mind-numbing, that ad, yeah.
	And soul-crushing, says Atomic Dogg.
	Whole Foods now offers to take your palm print so that you can pay with a wave of your hand, says HazelKitty57.
	That's right. That's the other part of it.
	Biometrics, they say, are going to be the way that you are going to interact.
	Forget about your past wording and this other kind of stuff.
	It's all going to be biometrics.
	It can be your hand. It can be your eye.
	It can be the way that you walk.
	It can be your face. They are looking, as I mentioned, what was it, last week or two weeks ago?
	Breath. Your breath.
	The way you breathe. The way you exhale.
	They will use that to identify you.
	They have so many different ways to identify us.
	What is the obsession with that?
	And of course, these people getting tens of millions of dollars in contracts to create this kind of stuff from our evil government that creates money out of thin air and uses technology as a sort of Damocles to hang over our head in every area of our life.
	What an evil system it is.
	We've got our work cut out for us, don't we?
	Tech is not the issue.
	It is monopolized tech.
	That's right. Monopolized by the government that funds it.
	You know, tech used to be...
	I got into engineering because I wanted...
	I saw tech at the time as being a very liberating thing, and it was.
	Even in the 1970s, you know, a couple of decades after the warning from Eisenhower about the military-industrial complex, there were still areas that had not been taken over.
	You know, when I began working...
	Texas Instruments is a mixture of...
	They did a lot of military stuff, but they also did a lot of consumer stuff.
	There had already been a lot of tech companies that have been taken over completely by militarized work.
	And yet, at TI, they still had some consumer areas, and that's one of the reasons why I interviewed with them, because they didn't want to work to create weapons for the military to use against us.
	I knew it was going to be used against us!
	Instruments of defense abroad become instruments of tyranny at home.
	That's always the way it's going to be.
	KWD 68, Florida Representative Herlong, had the 45 points plan for Communist Takeover America read into the congressional record in 1963, despite the warning it happened.
	Yeah, we had a lot of people warning us about that.
	G. Edward Griffin, same type of thing.
	We had a lot of people back in the 60s.
	It's one of the reasons why...
	Notice what they did. National Review, William F. Buckley, ties to the CIA. He came after the John Birch Society.
	Those are the people who were telling us the truth.
	They were successful in painting them as wild-eyed conspiracy theorists who see commies under every rock.
	Well, now the commies have taken over all the institutions.
	Just as Shiva and Fleet pointed out, this is Mao's America.
	In her book, Mao's America, a survivor's warning.
	Great interview I had with her.
	Check that out if you haven't seen it.
	Regarding Davos, sneaky snake says, And don't forget, Bill Gates has been telling you, for better than a year, the next pandemic will affect the children.
	As to ensure your capitulation.
	Yeah. Jason Barker.
	Good to see you, Jason. I had a great interview yesterday with Jason and Serge.
	If you haven't seen it, check that out as to what is happening, the games that they're playing at the border.
	He says, and they all take private jets.
	Why can't they do virtual meetings?
	Well then, because we would know.
	See, now that's an interesting thing that you mentioned there, Jason, because that's why my spidey sense goes off when I see people like Javier Malay or the head of the Heritage Foundation, the biggest think tank, conservative think tank, and people like Tucker Carlson going there in person.
	Why they need to go there in person.
	And I get a queasy feeling about these people.
	Because I've covered Bilderberg.
	Bilderberg was what they didn't want you to look at, so that's where we used to go.
	And Karen got some great footage when we were in Copenhagen.
	That was the only time that they'd keep everybody at bay.
	Typically, you'd go to Bilderberg, and you couldn't even see the building that they were in.
	They had trees and all that kind of stuff in Virginia.
	And they kept themselves very, very isolated.
	The best we could do was to, you know, grab a bullhorn and to play a Monty Python song mocking Henry Kissinger over the thing.
	But in Copenhagen, they did it right smack dab in the middle of the city in this hotel.
	And there wasn't any way to isolate it.
	And so they told us that we had to stay on the other side of the street.
	It was a four-lane street with a median in it, but it was like you're right next to these people.
	And the people who had covered it for years, like Charlie Skelton, could not believe it, the access that we had.
	And so Karen was early one morning and, you know, she got pictures of Petraeus going jogging and Alex Karp, you know, doing stretching exercise.
	Alex Karp with Palantir, this data mining company that was funded by Peter Thiel, run by Alex Karp.
	CIA loves it. Anyway, this British labor official, his name is Ed Ball, showed up on the side gate where Karen was, and he came in with his rolling luggage trailing.
	And you know, the story is that Bilderberg is just a friendly meeting.
	No business is discussed.
	They tell that to everybody. No business is discussed.
	This is just, we're getting to know people, and you know, it's nothing to worry about.
	And so he comes in, he can't find his pass, and he's looking all over for his pass, and the people won't let him in.
	You know me, I'm Ed Ball, right?
	No, we don't know you.
	Tell us your pass are not getting in.
	And so he starts fumbling through his luggage, and when he unzips it, the contents fall out.
	And there was nothing in his luggage other than papers.
	He had an entire suitcase filled with papers.
	No business is being done at Bilderberg, right?
	He was the highest elected official in the UK to lose his job the next election.
	But the bottom line is that these people say, oh, no, it's just a friendly meeting.
	When you see these people going to Bilderberg, and I don't care if it's Governor Kemp out of Georgia, which, you know, conservative Republicans don't like him.
	Why? Because they see him as an opponent to Trump.
	Or Glenn Youngkin.
	And, you know, again, I don't like these guys either.
	I think, you know, I don't trust them.
	I don't think they're real conservatives.
	But they go to Bilderberg and it's like, oh, these guys are making deals.
	Trump goes to Bilderberg. Oh, he's going to show them off.
	Javier Malay goes, oh, he's going to show them off.
	The same thing about the Heritage Foundation.
	Look, there's no reason to go and be a guest there and hobnob with these people in their private rooms and their parties unless there's something else going on.
	It's not about getting jobs for your state.
	It's not about getting jobs for America.
	Trump used the same excuse as Brian Kemp and Glenn Youngkin.
	It's not about that at all.
	It's about establishing these relationships and having a private conversation that nobody's going to hear in a face-to-face meeting.
	And that's why they take the private jets, and that's why they don't do the Zoom conferences.
	Can you imagine? You know, because Zoom, nothing is secure on the Internet.
	You know that if they did a Zoom conference, somebody would tap into these private conspiracies that they have going on.
	And that's really what a conspiracy means, that you're breathing together, right?
	You're plotting together, you're getting close together and you're conspiring to do this thing.
	That's why they meet.
	And I'm suspicious of anybody who goes to these meetings to quote-unquote tell them off.
	And now we're seeing this on a regular basis.
	Oh, Trump and the Heritage Foundation, Javier Malay and Tucker, they're all there to tell them off or they're there to get some orders about what's coming down.
	And to make some deep relationships about how these people can help them as the controlled opposition.
	That's the way I see it.
	Neurodivergent. Thank you for the tip.
	Thank you very much.
	He said, David, here's my monthly contribution to unleashing the truth.
	Thank you so much. He says, please be sure to take rest.
	Even Jesus took naps.
	That's right. And, yes, and we need to rest in Jesus as well, don't we?
	Atomic Dog. I'm sure those palm prints at Whole Foods won't end up in a database sold to other organizations.
	Nothing to worry about, folks.
	You know that everything that they collect, everything that they collect, they sell.
	There isn't any scrap of information that they can't repurpose and recycle.
	Because, again, you know, artificial intelligence is just about the mass accumulation of this stuff, and it's about the data mining and collation of that.
	They've got to have it.
	That's the engine.
	That's the fuel for their AI. It's the fuel for their surveillance.
	And that, folks, is why they're fighting over TikTok.
	Because these large language models have to have massive amounts of information.
	Social media, and of course, as he points out, the myometric stuff that you're going to get at Amazon, any of that stuff.
	But especially social media.
	That is the fuel that runs AI. And they don't want the Chinese to have that.
	I've said for the longest time that if you go back and you look at who the venture capitalists were that funded the social media companies and even Google at the very beginning back in the 1990s, you had intelligence community bigwigs setting on all the venture capital firms.
	They were the ones behind this.
	They were the ones who created the internet and J.C.R. Luke Leiter, 1960s, a psychologist.
	He called it the Intergalactic Computer Network.
	Then in the 1990s, when it became practical, they started pouring in the money.
	The CIA even created its own venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel, to do so.
	And so this has always been about surveillance and control.
	And now you see it specifically with artificial intelligence.
	The large language models have to have that massive amount of human data To process that's why they're trying to shut down tick-tock You know, they say what's about surveillance? It's all about everything online is about surveillance The US government is the king of surveillance. It's about the competition for data. They don't want there to be more users on the Chinese Data magnet than there are on their data magnets
	So it's plus skin Snake Plissken. Hey.
	Who is going to implement digital Ukraine?
	They killed a generation on the battlefield.
	Those that are left need to have babies and preserve their culture.
	Maybe that's the point of the war.
	I think it is. I think that's...
	Look, in my opinion, Ukraine is the template for what they want to do here in every way.
	Not just in the D.I.I.A. and that dystopian nightmare of the government and everything being in a virtual world.
	You know, you're going to be outside of society.
	You'll be essentially an outlaw if you don't take their mark of the beast.
	That's one aspect of it.
	But how do you get to that? You get to it with a war.
	Look, people are waking up.
	People are pushing back.
	As Gerald Salenti says, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	As we wake up, if enough of us wake up and push back, they will take us to war.
	Well, bring it on. But that's going to be their next thing to do, which is what they're doing to Ukraine.
	Devastating the people, impoverishing the people, and now we're going to impose on you.
	That's a precursor to imposing that D-I-I-A on people as well.
	Self-patriot. The WEF is the public face of the cult.
	That's right. Just imagine what they say in private.
	Mm-hmm. Sneaky snake.
	Daniel slept in a lion's den.
	Peter slept in prison. Jesus slept in a storm.
	No matter your circumstance, you can rest when you have God.
	Very, very good.
	Well, I can't say anything better than that.
	So we'll take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
	And the sweet sounds of Motown.
	Find them on the oldies channel at APS radio.com
	You're listening to the David Knight Show!
	you The delusions of Davos, and of course the delusions of the central MacGuffin, which remains climate.
	If you stop and think about it, they ramped things up with a pandemic MacGuffin, didn't they?
	But it's the long-term plan really always falls back to climate.
	They've been working on that now for 54 years.
	And is that right?
	Yeah, 1970. Wow.
	I'm getting old here.
	Of course, they were working on it before then because you had Paul Ehrlich and his population bomb, and this is fundamentally about depopulation.
	And in the 90s, it was very popular for them to push the Gaia theory.
	They ran into a difficulty when scientist Lovelock, who created that, denounced it and denounced climate change.
	But he put that idea out there that the Earth is a sentient being and that human beings are a virus, and we have to be eliminated because we're going to kill this wonderful accident of nature.
	So it's coming from a secular evolutionary mindset.
	And so that is the thing that continually runs through this.
	That is the thing for which they're going to have a global tax, a carbon tax, to save the world for that, the way that they're going to justify enslaving us into these 15-minute cities and restricting our movement and all the rest of this.
	And so this is a series, actually part three in a series, called The Delusions of Davos and Dubai, Edward Ring.
	At American Greatness.
	And I'll just summarize the three parts for you here instead of getting into any detail for it.
	But again, going back to December, it's been about one a month.
	And these are the big ones that they talk about.
	They don't talk about the Bilderberg Conference.
	They don't talk about a lot of these other conferences that they have.
	where they may actually do more work.
	These are the public faces of it.
	So the COP28 summit was in Dubai in December, and that was all about climate.
	World Economic Forum, you saw how much of that was about climate.
	Climate and censorship, and censorship of people opposing their climate agenda.
	And then the World Government Summit.
	He says, in part one, I quantified how much global energy production will need to increase if humanity is to have any hope of achieving universal energy security, much less any energy abundance.
	And as I said for the longest time, if you look at the availability of cheap, affordable energy, it's not just the quality of life.
	But it's actually life expectancy is affected by the availability of cheap energy.
	Part two, he said, we calculated the infeasible degree to which wind and solar energy production will have to increase in order to hit that minimum target while still fulfilling the goals of COP28. Because as we've seen with Biden's stuff, they want to electrify everything.
	Your cooking, your heating and cooling, your transportation, everything must be electrified.
	And so they are shutting down power plants as they continue to put more and more burdens on the infrastructure, essentially the vital skeleton of our central nervous system of our society.
	Part three, he said... We'll conclude by examining the non-fossil fuel alternatives to wind and solar, and in so doing demonstrate why global energy security is impossible to achieve without increasing, not decreasing, not even keeping it level, but increasing reliance on coal, oil, and gas.
	Well, they can impoverish us and they are transferring everything that they need, certainly for the time being, to China and India, as I pointed out yesterday.
	You can't even make solar cells.
	That are very, very energy.
	The manufacturing process is very, very, very energy intensive.
	To go from polysilicon, you know, to go from raw materials to a refined polysilicon, and then to go from that to the ingots that you have to create.
	Very, very energy intensive.
	In the same way that the construction of steel is very, very energy intensive.
	And many of the things that are fundamental to our society are energy intensive.
	But European and American companies can no longer compete with the Chinese, even on the basis of that.
	I mean, we look at cheap labor, but even more so the cheap energy.
	We don't have cheap energy.
	They're making our energy more and more expensive, while China and India are allowed to build as many and as dirty a power plants that run off of coal, oil, and gas.
	And I don't like to call them fossil fuels.
	That's a lie from the CIA about peak oil.
	There is no such thing.
	Anyway, if the delusional but dead serious demands coming out of the international climate crisis community are to be believed and documented in the earlier two segments of this report, achieving universal energy security in the world would require wind energy capacity to increase by a factor of 60, and solar capacity would have to increase by a factor of 100%.
	You know, it occurred to me as I was reading that this time, you know, the UN agency that is doing that is pushing all this stuff is the IPCC. And we just make it the ICCC, the International Climate Crisis Community.
	I guess that's what they're really about.
	Constantly selling fear and panic.
	They've got the solution for us, don't they?
	Well, the other thing that it can't effectively replace, even if they have the energy for it, really, it can't really effectively replace the...
	A lot of the things that are going away, for example, the electric vehicle is not going to replace the combustion engine.
	Just like in places where it's really cold, your heat pump is not going to replace combustion of something, whether it's oil or gas or something like that, to heat your house.
	And you put that resistive heating in there, it's like, you know, it goes sky high.
	And we got a sample of that in our heating bill when everything was frozen this last month.
	But it doesn't, because unfortunately this house, we burned a good deal of lumber, not lumber, but firewood, in the fireplace, but it's not as good a fireplace as it could be.
	And we would definitely have burned a whole lot more if I'd realized how expensive this electric bill was going to be.
	Anyway, it is something of a joke, quite frankly, when we look at what is coming with the electric vehicles.
	I think we could say EV come, EV go.
	Because you look at what is happening with the BMW i3.
	Now, this is a little car that was very, very unpopular.
	BMW discontinued it after a couple of years.
	But there's one individual who had to replace the batteries because they stopped making these things after just a couple of years.
	Some of them now are like nine years old.
	Excuse me. Had to sneeze.
	Some of them are like nine years old.
	This guy, with his 2015...
	The i3 from BMW, he needed to replace the batteries, and they gave him a price to replace it of over $71,000 for a new battery pack.
	Now, this car never cost $71,000 to start with.
	As a matter of fact, they replaced the BMW i3 with a more expensive BMW i5, but even that's not $71,000.
	What's going on with this? Well, this seems to be excessive even by BMW standards because the people on this group, people who have these cars, typically the price was $16,000, which is still probably more than these cars were after 10 years.
	One person said they'd been presented a bill of $30,000 to replace the battery.
	Yeah, imagine that.
	If you had to replace your motor and it cost several times what your car's worth.
	And the slowdown that is happening is not over yet, says RBC, as they're doing their analysis of this.
	They said they're scaling back.
	Everyone is scaling back on their investments.
	A key takeaway, says analyst Tom Narian, says the key takeaways thus far from earnings seasons are that the EV slowdown is not showing any evidence of an inflection.
	Level 4 autonomy.
	Level 4 autonomy headwinds he's talking about.
	Level 4 autonomy is where the car drives without any human input.
	And of course, we can thank Elon Musk for linking in people's minds an electric vehicle with autonomous driving.
	There's no reason that those things have to be linked.
	You know, you can buy a Tesla without having that in there.
	That was the sizzle on the stake.
	And so now that is linked in everybody's mind.
	It was a sizzle to make it look futuristic.
	Level 4 autonomy is where you don't have to have any human input.
	I mean, the brakes and the steering wheel are superfluous.
	But he said those headwinds continue to persist.
	That's a nice way of saying they can't do anything close to that.
	They're still trying to get level two to work properly.
	Fears over supplier inventory overbuild are likely overblown, he says.
	But it's not looking to increase.
	As a matter of fact, when you look at Ford, Ford lost $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter.
	And that was over the previous quarter's loss of $1.3 billion in quarter three.
	They're losing that much every quarter, and that's on their EV stuff, their EV losses.
	They're making it up, you know, selling people real Ford F-150s, the most popular of the trucks, you know, so hopefully they'll not go out of business.
	Nevertheless, they're taking unbelievable losses on this EV stuff.
	They tried to put a happy light on it by saying, well, we're projecting that we're going to lose less than that per quarter, but they're projecting for the next year.
	Losses of $5 billion for the year.
	Well, that's $1.25 billion each quarter.
	And that's up because they had previously said in their advice to people that they have to give out as a publicly traded company, they'd said, well, we're going to lose $4 billion a year.
	So they have upped that from $4 billion for the year to $5 billion for the year.
	And I think that it is going to be probably the same type of money that they've been losing on this other stuff.
	He notes the consensus for Tesla.
	It's calling for 14% growth this year, but that's a big downshift from what they just were recently saying.
	They would have a 40% growth, and now it's down to 14% growth.
	Meanwhile, these other companies that are getting into it, Ford and others, are losing money hand over fist.
	Investors are worried about price cutting to achieve consensus-level volumes, they said, so they don't see this slowing down at all.
	He also says the emerging trends suggest an industry shift towards enhancing level two autonomous driving.
	You know, this is the one where it can steer the car, it can break the car, and accelerate and all this kind of stuff, maintain it.
	But if something happens, it's going to throw control back over to you, and you're going to have to immediately stop what you're doing and take control of this car in an emergency situation, just like that, okay?
	Which doesn't really work.
	We've seen this over and over again.
	We saw that with the person who was killed crossing the street in Phoenix, Arizona.
	Homeless person pushing the car to cross, and the internal camera shows the human driver, quote-unquote driver.
	It's just sitting there and, you know, playing with the phone, all this kind of stuff, and doesn't realize anything is going to happen, anything is happening until it hears the thump-thump of the person that just ran over and killed.
	And why did it do that?
	Everybody said, oh, well, you couldn't see her.
	She's coming out. And the human didn't see her.
	She was coming out of the side.
	The headlights weren't going to catch it.
	But the car should have.
	It has radar.
	It doesn't use a visual system like Tesla.
	So it should have caught that.
	And it should have done emergency braking.
	Why didn't it? Well, because the emergency braking was so erratic that they turned it off.
	Yeah, so get ready to jump in there immediately with that Level 2 stuff.
	You're the backup for when the software fails.
	This article from Wall Street Journal, the six months that short-circuited the electric vehicle revolution.
	Automakers were all in on battery power, but buyers, they run out of buyers.
	And I think it's very fitting that these people who were telling us that we had to have all-electric cars because emissions were causing global warming, The real final nail in the coffin of public opinion on these EVs seems to be this very, very cold winter that we had.
	It wasn't global warming, was it?
	Isn't it interesting? You've got to have global warming in order to have functional EVs.
	But they're designed to stop global warming.
	As Putin said, hey, I don't really worry about global warming.
	As a matter of fact, we'd like to have it warmer in Siberia.
	We could grow more food up there.
	So, the mission complaint where the Ford F-150 Lightning, the electric truck, is being built.
	Wall Street Journal said it used to vibrate with excitement.
	You even had Biden visiting it in 2021.
	Throwing around cash, evidently, and driving one of them.
	Here's buckets of cash for you.
	Probably a lot more than buckets of cash.
	Before the first ones even started rolling off the assembly line in the spring of 2022, Ford said it was going to expand the factory to quadruple its capacity.
	But where we are today, this is what happens when you have old, senile politicians who design the economy and even design cars.
	Like they used to have in the Soviet Union, right?
	They used to have Lattas.
	Why? Because they had the government designing the cars.
	You know, those imitations of the little Fiat that was being sold at the time, and the Lada became something of a joke.
	And of course, the industrial base of the Stalinist Russia was a joke.
	And we now have people in control, and mostly Democrats, but there's a lot of Republicans who buy into this as well.
	The centralized control of our economy.
	And even designing the cars.
	They're going to tell people what they've got to have.
	They're not... They're not engineers.
	They're just putting out these mandates.
	They don't care what the market wants.
	There's no more invisible hand.
	It's an iron fist hammering these mandates into us.
	And so when we look at what is happening with Tesla, they said that they're looking at increase of sales of 14% instead of 40%.
	Maybe some of that is because Cybertruck is kind of...
	Getting the kind of reception that Apple's Vision Pro just got.
	One of the things trending on search engines is, how do I return this Apple Vision Pro?
	That's not a good sign when the product first comes out.
	And Zuckerberg is at a field day making fun of the Vision Pro.
	Of course, he sells a headset that's $500.
	This one is $3,500. Just talking about this last night with my son, Whistler, who's doing the board today for Travis.
	And he said, yeah, it does some things, obviously, that Zuckerberg does not do.
	But, of course, it's seven times more.
	Anyway, the Cybertruck.
	Some Cybertruck owners are saying that their Tesla vehicles are developing rust spots from the rain.
	From the rain. I mean, who would have expected that you're going to put your truck in the rain?
	This is sold as an apocalyptic truck.
	It's bulletproof. It can go anywhere.
	You know, this is a Mad Max type of vehicle that rusts when it rains.
	At least two members of a Cybertruck Owners Forum said their vehicles had rust on them.
	Cybertrucks do not have a clear coat on their stainless steel body.
	A member on the Cybertruck Owners Club said they collected their vehicle on February 1st and they were warned on that day they got their vehicle that rain would cause it to rust.
	Quote, the advisors specifically mentioned the Cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain.
	And that required the vehicle to be buffed out.
	I know I heard stories about never take out your DeLorean in the rain, but I just never read anything about rust in the Cybertrucks.
	So maybe it's not a rugged post-apocalyptic thing.
	Maybe it's just a rusted post-apocalyptic thing.
	According to a Minnesota metals services company, Mead Metals, stainless steel is prone to rust in certain environments.
	Another Cybertruck Owners Club member said, I noticed the corrosion was forming on the metal.
	He said, like other people have noted, so I decided to start documenting it and bringing it to Tesla's attention.
	He added that the service center worker documented the corrosion, said they could repair the damage.
	Yet another person on the forum posted images of what they said were corrosion spots on their Cybertruck.
	The spots are definitely everywhere in the metal, he said.
	Elon Musk had claimed that the Cybertruck was literally bulletproof.
	Remember when he broke the windows?
	He said it's also got ultra-hard stainless steel body, and when he revealed it in 2019, we've seen pictures of him.
	Having robots shooting guns at it?
	In a post on X from September, Musk said Tesla might be able to offer owners an option to get tungsten carbide coating.
	I wonder how much that's going to cost.
	But of course, you know, if you can afford a Cybertruck, you don't have to ask, I guess.
	He added that the coating was basically scratch-proof to everything below diamond hardness.
	Videos of the owner's manual show that the owner's manual says this, quote, to prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout.
	Well, you do some of that anyway, even if you have a painted vehicle.
	But perhaps Henry Ford was on to something in the early 20th century.
	He painted his cars.
	Did you know that? He started the long tradition of painting cars for some reason.
	Now, of course, Henry Ford's cars were all painted black, but it was really kind of rust protection.
	They wouldn't rust in the rain.
	We'll be right back.
	Here's the story.
	New World Order in music.
	One, two, three, four, five.
	All the unvaccinated are still alive.
	A little bit of Pfizer in my arm.
	A little bit of BioNTech does no harm.
	A little Johnson Johnson does the trick.
	A little Esteseneca so you don't get sick.
	It's booster number five.
	Yeah, that should have been the Super Bowl ad that they had.
	Instead, they had this very stupid...
	I can't believe how bad the Super Bowl ads are.
	I've only seen the ones that people have pulled out and commented on.
	I know even before the Super Bowl, they had a website where you could see all the Super Bowl ads.
	I'm sorry, I've got other things to do.
	I don't watch the Super Bowl, and I don't watch the Super Bowl ads.
	But it is kind of interesting to me that the really chintzy ad that Pfizer did...
	Although it had better special effects than the He Gets Us ad.
	I don't know how much money they paid somebody to do still images, and it was a slideshow.
	And then they said, oh, these aren't AI-generated.
	We paid a photographer to do this, and they probably paid big, big, big bucks to do that.
	But nothing special.
	I'm sure they wasted a lot of money on that as well as the cost of the ad.
	Even lower production standards were for what Kanye did.
	Kanye dropped this album and he just puts his phone there and kind of talks into it a little bit and he's like, oh, and I think I got t-shirts or something that you can get as well.
	And that was it. He paid $7 million to put that on.
	But, you know, he got a tremendous return on investment.
	They said that he had, you know, like a quarter of a million visits right after that ad.
	I mean, it's the most amateur.
	And in a sense, it is exactly what our society has come to.
	You know, the fact that people wear pajamas to go fly across the country or something.
	I mean, it's just this slack thing.
	I don't care about making a professional video.
	I've seen this a lot with the, I guess it was about five or six years ago.
	No, actually it was longer than that.
	Because I was still doing reporting.
	I was putting together special reports.
	And whenever I had to do a cut, I would always put some visual in there for continuity.
	But then people just started slacking off and just doing jump cuts, and now that's become a thing.
	And it's perfectly acceptable to do that, just like it's perfectly acceptable to wear pajamas to go fly or to do your Super Bowl ad on phone without even thinking about what you're going to say.
	But it paid off for him.
	And so that's the other thing that's typical of this idiocracy that we live in.
	This dumbed-down, low-life idiocracy.
	Kanye West is probably the epitome of, epitomizes all of this stuff.
	And so he made a tremendous amount of money.
	Yeah, I had all those different visits and had a conversion rate of like 6% Because he's a cult figure That's what it's devolved into Whistler my son says The rusting cyber trucks were all part of Musk's vision the rust just adds to the Mad Max look and feel Always the plan I'm sure it was You know it's one of the things I always thought was interesting about Star Wars was the fact that science fiction stuff
	for the most part prior to that everything was sparkling new right no dents on anything no rust on anything and So with a Star Wars movie they started making it look more realistic things were dented and rusted and and that type thing They had a patina of age on him. I guess that's what he's looking for that the ultimate Mad Max look so Freegan says, Elon is making electric cars crappy on purpose.
	3D tiddlywinks.
	Billy the Kid, Part 2, there's already a full town in Arizona where no cars are allowed.
	Already in Arizona, yeah.
	KWD68, heat pump heat.
	Is a term that is loosely used.
	I know. I can attest to that.
	I've unfortunately had houses, including the one we're in right now, where there's a heat pump.
	It's absolutely useless when it gets really cold.
	Atomic Dog. I know a family that bought a Nissan EV many years ago.
	It now sits in the driveway with a bad battery that is too costly to replace.
	What a waste.
	Well, you know, they could turn it into a piece of artwork, you know.
	It was kind of a thing, you know, for the middle of the 20th century, especially in the Midwest, people that have wagon wheels out in the front of their yard.
	It's kind of like, well, that's as far as we got.
	We broke down, and it's the only thing that's left from the wagon is our wagon wheel this year, I guess.
	So I guess we could do that, you know, the pre-apocalyptic, empty, decaying EV in the driveway.
	Junk silver, trust the machines to make big decisions.
	Yeah, that's it, isn't it?
	AI in your car.
	Some of those EVs are losing 50% of their value in just one year, says Big Brit is back again.
	Well, that's true. You know, you take big depreciation loss on any new car, but that's especially true of these EVs.
	Wes Robertson, if Kilgates has his way, after cutting down 70 million trees in the U.S. with his tree company he owns, we will all be using our fireplaces with no heating like the plebs that we are.
	That's right. And not just, remember, not just cutting them down, but cutting them down and burying them.
	That's the key thing. Nothing to be allowed, right?
	Because if you cut down these trees, they might release some of that deadly CO2 gas.
	Brian and Deb McCartney, good to see you there.
	Unless they come and take them, it will be illegal to own trees.
	John Silver, I believe their pre-2009 non-computerized cars in good condition are the best investment that anyone could make.
	Yeah. We don't have any of those.
	All of our cars, almost all of our cars are 2012.
	But Trump Burger Forever.
	They do have computers in them.
	Trump Burger Forever. I saw a video alerting...
	The firemen that Jeep hybrids have a tendency to violently explode when on fire.
	Yeah, and then reignite like a joke birthday candle.
	Junk silver. There are $3,000 fire suppression blankets for EV fires.
	Check out Darley.com.
	Those expensive blankets are the only way to put out lithium battery fires.
	Wow. Wow.
	So maybe you should get that if you've got one in your garage.
	I remember early on, a Nissan Leaf in North Carolina where we were.
	Caught fire and burned down the house.
	I had it charging in the garage.
	Trump Burger Forever responds and says, I'll admit that driving a Tesla is very fun, but I would never own one.
	It is very fun. I've got a friend who has one, and it was a lot of fun to drive it.
	Very different feel. Especially from my car.
	That's a manual transmission around here with the hilly places.
	You know, I'm shifting gears.
	A lot of times I just let it coast.
	And the Miata is a momentum car, which is a way of saying that doesn't have a lot of pickup.
	So you keep that momentum.
	But it's fun to keep that momentum going around curves and things like that.
	It's all about the handling.
	But it is really...
	It's like driving. It reminded me of when I used to have electric slot cars as a kid.
	And, you know, you'd give it some juice, and it'd immediately take off, and then as soon as you backed off, it'd pretty much immediately stop.
	And that's the way it is, because it got regenerative braking, so it feels like that.
	As soon as you back off of the accelerator, it immediately slows down.
	It was fun to drive.
	Hazel Kitty, 57.
	The guy around the block has a Tesla.
	We had a very cold winter. He couldn't get into his car.
	And he got rid of it right away.
	Yeah. They thrive on global warming.
	And yet, they're supposed to stop global warming.
	It doesn't make any sense, does it?
	Look, I have no problem with whatever anybody drives.
	I think the market ought to determine it, not Joe Biden or the UN. And I think we shouldn't be subsidizing one car over the other.
	I don't think we should be banning one kind of car over the other because all this CO2 stuff is nonsense.
	You know, I'll occasionally talk about people who make an argument about the futility and the hypocrisy of all the CO2 measurement, you know, the private jets that the elites have and that type of thing.
	That is interesting to show that they really don't believe it.
	But, you know, let's not have this conversation about how we can minimize CO2. Let's have a conversation about how we can shut down their lies about CO2. Jason Barker.
	This truck is so awesome.
	Just don't take it off-road in the rain or haul anything.
	That's the other thing. Haul anything with it.
	Other than that, it's a great truck.
	You haul something with these electric trucks and they go down right away.
	Jenny Brin. EV vehicles help China because of lithium.
	America is already compromised.
	And it's not just the lithium. It's just like I said yesterday.
	When you look at the...
	Polysilicon and even some of the other things where the raw materials are right here in the Appalachians in North Carolina.
	They ship it off to China to do the manufacturing.
	Even if we have the raw materials, they've already pretty much cornered the market on most of these raw materials, but they've also cornered the market on energy because of the Paris Climate Accord, which Trump did nothing to stop.
	He played games with it.
	Well, I don't need to get rid of that.
	But, you know, it's, okay, well, I will get rid of it, but, and he said in his first year, within the first couple of months, I'll wait until after this next election, and then I'll get rid of it.
	It's like, what's that about?
	That made absolutely no sense.
	To the people who say, Trump's first three years were great, no, they weren't, and I can have that debate with anybody who wants to have that debate.
	They were not great years.
	It was a lot of BS, lies, and backtracking.
	A lot of failed promises.
	But you always see that in politics.
	That was not anything unusual.
	What set me against him forever was what he did in 2020.
	That was different. That was quantitatively and quantitatively completely in an area of its own.
	And it was full-on globalism.
	Trump is not anti-globalist.
	He did everything the globalists.
	If you didn't know it was Trump, if you just looked at the policies, and I pulled somebody over and said, look at what happened.
	Oh, wow, that was a globalist agenda.
	Oh, but if it's Trump, it can't be globalist.
	Because, you know, he's against all of that.
	You know, we've been told that with the professional wrestling circuit that's out there.
	Denver Attaway. Kanye knows his target market, perhaps.
	Ha, ha. He's the equivalent of the idiocracy's President Camacho, yeah.
	Damage says, it's not rust, it's patina.
	Yeah, exactly. And so, when you look at the, you know, what happened with Trump, as I said yesterday, this person goes through, talks about, well, you know, Trump's got a pandemic problem.
	But then at the very end of it, Brownstone puts this note, this disclaimer note, while this piece focused on the failure of Trump, that act, where he betrayed us March 13, 2020, while significant, should be weighed against the entirety of his presidency and the possibilities of a new term in office.
	Well, the possibilities of a new term in office mean that...
	He's going to be even more uncontrollable the next time.
	He doesn't have to worry. When he gets elected again, he can tell his MAGA cult to go take a hike.
	He doesn't need them anymore. Now he needs to establish himself with the elites.
	When he was running the first time, I read a story when I was flying to Washington to cover his speech at AIPAC. An article from Vanity Fair that went back to the 90s.
	And in it, they were talking about how he conducted himself and why he bought at Mar-a-Lago with the social parties that he had there and why he bought Mar-a-Lago.
	He bought Mar-a-Lago because he was essentially a nouveau riche.
	Even though his daddy had a lot of money and gave him money, they had not really mixed in social circles.
	He wanted to be accepted in social circles.
	His wife, Ivanka, desperately wanted to be accepted in social circles.
	And so he got Mar-a-Lago because he could come in as like, okay, I've got the prime thing that all of society in this wealthy West Palm Beach area is focused on.
	I'm going to take that, and that's going to make me top dog in all of the social circles.
	And everybody's going to come in and kiss the ring.
	Seriously. As I said, the people in the area never liked him.
	They would say that when they would go to the parties, that Ivanka was obsequious to everybody.
	And, I don't know, I get her mixed up.
	Ivana was the mother.
	Ivanka is the daughter, right?
	Anyway, I'm a big Trump fan.
	I'm sure that Trump has difficulty remembering the names of all of his women as well.
	How could I keep up with him, right?
	Anyway, his wife would be very obsequious to everybody that was coming in.
	And Trump would show up late.
	He'd come in and sit at the head of the table, didn't say anything to anybody, you know, just kind of look around, you know, like, yeah, you're all here, and here I am.
	And then he would eat a little bit and he'd get up and leave and not really say anything to anybody.
	It's just, you're here because I own this place.
	You know, that type of thing.
	And that's what it's really about.
	That's what it's going to be about in his second term.
	In his second term, it's going to be, yeah, I own the White House.
	And you're going to, you know, Kiss the ring, bow to me, anybody that's in the GOP. But when we look at the legacy of it, while this piece focused on the failure of Trump, that particular act, it says that's a really significant thing, a thing that happened on March 13th.
	But it didn't end with March 13th.
	It continued on. And one of the things that it continued on with was a poison.
	A poison that went around the world.
	And the rage against these things, even though it is currently not Directed towards Trump.
	In other countries, you had governments like in the UK, you had the Conservative Party, led by Boris Johnson, now led by Rishi Sunak, pushed this on people.
	And he had some people pushing back against Rishi Sunak who were injured with this.
	Now, this is a guy with a very heavy Scottish accent.
	So listen carefully, but I think you can still hear what he has to say.
	Hi, Rishi Sunak. I've got so much to say about such little time.
	My name is John Watt, and I'm one of the COVID vaccine injured in this country.
	I want you to look into my eyes, Rishi Sunak, and I want you to look at the pain, the trauma, and the regret I have in my eyes.
	We have been left with no help at all.
	Not only am I in here that's vaccine injured, there's another man over there whose life's been ruined by that COVID-19 vaccine.
	I know people who have lost legs, amputations.
	I know people with heart conditions like myself, Rishi Sunak.
	Why have I had to set up a support group in Scotland to look after the people who have been affected by that COVID-19 vaccine?
	Why are the people who are in charge, who told us all to do the right thing, have left us all to rot and left me and the thousands and the tens of thousands in this country to rot?
	Vrishy Sunak, look me in the eye.
	When are you going to start to do the right thing?
	The vaccine damage payment scheme is not fit for purpose.
	In Scotland right now, according to the yellow card system, there are over 30,000 people who have had an adverse reaction to that vaccine.
	Okay, John, thank you very much indeed for your question.
	I'm so glad you asked that question.
	You've made a really strong point, John.
	Oh, great that you asked that question.
	Very sorry to hear about...
	Your personal circumstances, and you said someone over here, also seems to have suffered by a similar thing.
	Now, obviously, I don't know about the individual situation that you're in.
	We're silenced, Rishi. We're silenced.
	On social media and everything.
	We are silenced.
	We are the most silenced people in this country.
	We're silenced in the press because my story in the press...
	I had to go to the government for comment and they made me take all the stuff out.
	Forgive me. Forgive me both.
	No, I'm happy. I'm interested in that.
	No, no, no one. Okay.
	John, no one is saying.
	Yeah, okay. I've lost my house.
	My wife has a successful career.
	And sir, you raise some very valid points, I'm sure.
	What I've got to say is, though, we haven't got you on microphone.
	And as you know, we've got to get this.
	Oh, wow. Yeah. I think we can hear them.
	Raise your points with the Prime Minister at a later date.
	But in the meantime, Prime Minister, if you cover the issue.
	I'm very happy to. So there is a vaccine compensation scheme that's in place, as you alluded to, in the NHS. Obviously, everyone individually will work through their cases.
	It's difficult for me to comment on anyone's individual case.
	I'm sure you'll appreciate that.
	I'm very happy to go and look at the cases, and I'm sure you'll get them to the team here.
	I'm very saddened and shocked to hear that you've been silenced by any...
	Yeah, you know who knew? You've been silenced, you mean?
	But we've got a program for that, right?
	They've got a program for silencing people, but they don't have a program for helping people who've been injured by this deadly shot that Trump sent around the world.
	Why is it that we haven't seen anybody confront Trump or Biden over these vaccines like that here in the United States?
	Are we really just that passive?
	As I was talking about yesterday, you know, Rishi Sunak has put in the ULEZ, the ultra-low emission zones, and he's got cameras there all the time to identify.
	If you move your non-electric car, it's going to hit you with over a $15 fine.
	People are angry about that, taking those cameras down, blocking those cameras, doing something about it.
	But in New York City, Oh, they've got these speed cameras and they're writing hundreds of tickets to some of these individuals and nobody cares about that.
	And we don't confront these people, do we?
	We don't confront Trump.
	We don't confront Biden. As a matter of fact, you could confront Biden in addition to that, the fact he mandated it to people, the fact that he blackmailed and coerced hospitals, for example, to vaccinate everybody, or he's going to take away all of their funding from the government that they depend on.
	Or the fact that Trump incentivized those hospitals with a death protocol.
	We're the angry people to confront them.
	We're the angry people to confront Peter Navarro, who is now going to be waiting in jail for some political warfare, a non-crime.
	His real crime is the ventilators.
	And people need to confront Peter Navarro for ventilators.
	I'm happy to see him rot in jail.
	Unfortunately, he's only got a few months in jail.
	I'd be happy to see Trump and Biden rot in jail.
	They'll rot in hell, because I don't see any repentance from either one of them.
	But why don't we have anybody confronting people over that?
	The CDC's own scientists found that the masks were ineffective for COVID, but the agency recommended them anyway.
	You see, we see this over and over again.
	We see this with the masks.
	We see this with the vaccines.
	I just talked about this week.
	The Dicamba.
	You had EPA scientists said, wait a minute.
	We've got data that shows that this counteracts what the industry is saying.
	No, they shut it down. The people at the top shut it down.
	We saw the same thing with fluoride.
	We had scientists who were looking at fluoride in the water and warning people about it.
	And they had political appointees, like this guy who calls himself Rachel Levine.
	I call him Richard.
	I call him Dick Devine, actually, is what I call him.
	He gets put in there by Biden.
	And what does he do? He shuts down any concern from the scientists about fluoride.
	These watchdog agencies don't work anymore. Why? Because you've got political appointees who are shutting it down. Whether you're talking about fluoride or dicamba or masks or vaccines or any of the rest of this stuff. They are completely captured.
	These regulatory agencies do not regulate for safety or for efficacy anything whatsoever.
	And so we have some comments here.
	My son says, yeah, I'm quoting the guy, my vaccine injury story has been censored.
	Sunak says, I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
	You don't have a microphone. And I'm not going to give you one either, right?
	Forget about that.
	Karen Carpenter says, reminds me of Canadian Parliament when asked about the World Economic Forum.
	Suddenly, they had tech issues.
	Yeah, yeah. Sorry, what's that?
	Or you're on the phone and you start crinkling paper.
	It's like, I think we've got static here.
	I can't hear what you're saying.
	YJ72, we're talking about the takedown with climate.
	It says, no manufacturing equals no prospered economy.
	The only booming field is medicine.
	I wonder why. Yeah.
	Yeah, the euthanizing of America.
	And who was it that gave them tens of billions of dollars to do that?
	Jason Barker, talking about what we were, the Gates, he says, Gates...
	Know about the dust bowl and the effects of removing natural wind blocks like trees?
	He probably does.
	That's probably why after years and years of telling people that he needs to get carbon credits and he needs to be paid for planting trees, now he wants to go the other direction and he wants to cut the trees down and bury them in the ground.
	And of course we'll pay him to do that as well.
	Wes Robertson, that's probably another reason he wants to do it, Jason.
	Yeah, that's exactly right. Sneaky Snake, I'm sorry, I never saw any evidence whatsoever of the espoused prosperity during the Trump administration when he brought the globalists home to roost and kept the stock market bubble inflated.
	That's right. Oh, there was a lot of prosperity for Apple, for example.
	Remember? With his tax deal, he got rid of a lot of deductions for us.
	A lot of deductions for us.
	But he gave all kinds of money for these...
	These big corporations to, supposedly, to repatriate money into the United States and invest it.
	They invested it in their own stock, in the stock market, as Gerald Slenty and I talked about at the time.
	So, as we look at the fierce tactics and all the rest of the stuff, what to know about the Alaska pox?
	A lot of people kind of, what about this Alaska pox thing?
	This is obviously another one of these fear-mongering things, but let's look at what this is.
	They said they have the first known death linked to a recently discovered virus called Alaskapox.
	Makes me think of Carpenter as the thing, you know, based on the thing from another planet.
	What is it?
	Is it Alaska Pox?
	I don't know. It's weird and it's pissed off.
	So, since it was discovered in 2015, seven Alaska Pox infections have been reported.
	All of them around one town.
	Fairbanks, I think it is, in Alaska.
	And then they had an elderly man who died last month.
	And so... Here is the kicker that they admit in the story.
	This is even coming from Establishment News, you know, AP. The man had a weakened immune system because of cancer treatment.
	This is another one of these.
	Did he die from it or with it or whatever?
	So he's got a...
	Is this a serious thing?
	Since all of these cases except his are coming from one small geographical area...
	Is it environmental and not viral?
	Six of the seven cases have been mild and self-limited.
	So we've had six cases over nine years.
	And it's headlines everywhere.
	Can you imagine how they're going to hype anything when they get ready to release whatever disease X is?
	Six of the seven cases were mild.
	They didn't spread to anybody.
	It wasn't contagious. So is it a virus or something?
	I mean, that's your model for a virus.
	It's contagion, right? It's going to spread to people.
	Well, it didn't. They had six cases over nine years, all in the same area, all of them mild.
	None of them spread to anybody.
	The patient didn't even need to get any supportive care from a health care provider.
	They didn't get hospitalized.
	And now they're saying, oh, it spreads from animals to humans.
	Here we are with the bat soup stuff again.
	Alaskapox is just another one of those things.
	What has changed is clinician awareness and the general public's awareness.
	In other words, they're hyping it.
	This is nothing. This is absolutely nothing.
	These individuals have acquired it from some kind of contact with an animal, she said.
	I don't know that. And this guy who died, elderly person who has got cancer.
	The most recent case, which resulted in the first known death from Alaska, is also the first discovered outside of Fairbanks.
	It was reported about 500 miles south.
	This indicates that Alaska pox is more geographically widespread than previously thought.
	It doesn't indicate any of the sort.
	They're jumping to all of these...
	Fearful conclusions, because it is just another MacGuffin.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	We'll be right back. You're
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Alright, welcome back.
	I see a comment here from Junk Silver.
	Trump was deceived, quote-unquote.
	And he says, I hear that one over and over again.
	And I do, too. You better believe I hear that all over again.
	Which is, well, he said all the right things, and he knew what all the problems were when he was campaigning.
	Then he surrounded himself by these people who were obviously adamantly opposed to all those policies that he had set.
	And, of course, personnel are policy.
	But he puts in bad personnel.
	And then we hear from the Maga people that he was deceived by them.
	Really? But he's going to fix it this next time.
	Okay, sure. Biden inflation is resurging.
	Consumer prices rise much faster than expected, putting any Fed interest rates in doubt.
	And, of course, they manipulated the Consumer Price Index yet again.
	They said it rose 3% from a year earlier.
	What a joke. Do you believe this?
	Do you go to the grocery store?
	Do you buy anything that you really have to have?
	They play these games.
	As a matter of fact, when you look at inflation, shadow stats will show you different ways that inflation is calculated.
	If you calculate it according to the standards that they had in the 1990s even, it is more than double what they're saying.
	If you look at that, it's over 8%.
	But that doesn't even get to the full issue because just as they play games with the jobs reports and they're constantly modifying the job reports, they have built into it structural biases.
	For example, you buy a computer and let's say you pay $3,000 for a computer.
	And then the next year you pay a little bit more than $3,000.
	Let's say you pay $3,100 for it or something.
	And they look at it and they say, yeah, but look at this computer that you paid $3,100 for.
	It's not more expensive. It's considerably less expensive because look at how much more CPU power you've got.
	This is running faster and so forth.
	And so they take its performance and they, quote-unquote, normalize that price down and say, see, the price is actually really, really falling.
	When in fact it may have actually gone up.
	They play those types of games with everything.
	But just take a look at your food prices.
	Your food prices.
	Or anything else that you depend on on a regular basis.
	If they were to admit the real inflation, it would not only be a big loss for them politically, but it would be a big loss for them fiscally because they've got a lot of things like Social Security that are tied to it.
	And so they don't want to admit what inflation truly is.
	Because then they would have to give a cost of living adjustment to people on Social Security and many other entitlement programs.
	Consumer inflation hit its recent peak of 9.2% in June of 2022.
	And yet it was much higher than that.
	And our current inflation rate, averaging all this stuff together, the way they would have calculated it in 1990 is over 8%.
	They say food prices are up 2.6% over the past year.
	Do you believe that?
	Who are you going to believe?
	These people or your lying eyes?
	So all of this is very much like that cringe commercial that Biden did for the Super Bowl where he sits there in a movie theater complaining about the shrinkflation because he wants to project this onto other people.
	The inflation is happening because of his spending, because of the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve.
	The Dow tumbled on the reports of that earlier this week.
	But you know, the key thing to me, where the rubber meets the road, everybody is always focused on the stock market, right?
	Because you don't matter. It's just like we saw with the lockdown.
	And it was the lockdown of Main Street.
	It was not the lockdown of Wall Street.
	All the big Wall Street retailers, they were allowed to stay open.
	They were declared to be essential by Trump.
	But Main Street businesses, they were shut down.
	And so this focus on Wall Street by both Democrats and Republicans as being the bellwether of our economy.
	Yes, it does have an effect even if you don't have stock.
	I understand that. But it is certainly not the be-all and end-all of everything, except for these people, because they're run by Wall Street, by big money.
	But just take a look at credit card rates.
	I said the other day it was over 27%.
	It's actually a little bit over 21%, the average.
	I want to correct that. Still, 21%, 27%.
	We're talking criminal usury.
	Criminal usury.
	Why isn't anybody talking about that?
	And when you look at consumer debt on these credit cards, $1.1 trillion, and these people are making on average 21% on that?
	That's an outrage.
	I've got to ask you, why do you not see any Republicans talking about this, or any Democrats either?
	Wouldn't that be a winning issue?
	Well, it would be if their backers weren't bankers.
	This would be a winning issue for a Democrat or Republican to come out and talk about usury that is there.
	Now, they're telling you that the inflation rate is 3%.
	How can they justify charging people 21% on a credit card?
	As I've said in the past, when we got mortgage rates up to 5%, They said, well, that's about like it was in the mid-60s.
	And I thought, yeah, well, what were they paying on savings accounts, deposits, in the mid-60s?
	And I went back and looked it up.
	And so when interest rates were slightly over 5%, they were paying people on their savings accounts at the bank, they were paying them like 4%.
	What do you get now? You get a 100th of a percent or something like that if you get anything typically.
	It's very rare that you get even a full percent interest paid to you.
	How do they justify that?
	How do they justify saying that inflation is 3% or we're going to allow the banks to charge 21%?
	We've had situations where inflation was higher than that.
	And they would cap the interest rate at 10%.
	Anything over 10% was mafia type of criminal usury.
	But they don't care about this.
	And so when you look at $1.1 trillion of consumer debt, And the average rate is 21%.
	You're talking about these people raking in $237 billion just on the interest on these credit cards.
	These are obscene profits.
	And I think even more than the obscenity of this profiteering, I think it's interesting to see that we don't have any Republicans or Democrats who want to even talk about this issue.
	They're afraid of the banks, I think.
	Afraid of the banks. And here's a good example of it.
	This is Charlie Kirk, this up and coming establishment guy.
	He's already establishment. And in this, this is a discussion about usury laws, but actually about interest rate.
	And I don't have a problem with people getting paid a fair rate of interest.
	You can look at interest.
	I know they touch on the fact as to whether or not there should be any interest charged from a religious standpoint and things like that.
	But you're renting somebody's money.
	And we all have had situations where we want to do that, and it's not always a foolish thing to do.
	You have, what's his name, Dave Ramsey will tell you never go into debt and anything.
	Well, yes and no.
	It's getting the debt out of control.
	Don't go into credit card debt when the interest rate is 21%.
	That's for sure.
	But, you know, if you go into it with your eyes open, I think it's not an unreasonable thing to pay somebody rent for that money, which is what you're actually doing.
	However, when you start talking about these kinds of interest rates and this kind of disparity between what they pay you and your savings stuff...
	And the disparity between the credit card interest rate and the inflation rate, you're talking about something that is criminal.
	But here's how Charlie Kirk sees it, because he doesn't want to offend the bankers.
	Christians have on this as well. Your thoughts?
	Yeah, I don't want to go too deep theologically.
	I think there's a super simple reason why most Muslim countries have difficult or rather so angry is because they don't embrace a simple market principle of charging interest, is that if you do not have interest, you cannot freely lend out money.
	Now, there's some workarounds around that, but you're going to remain permanently poor if you do not have a banking system that allows for entrepreneurial activity.
	I would imagine that all of us have taken out loans before.
	Usury is what you're referring to, right?
	Yes. Which was used to be outlawed in the Christian community.
	Yes. How Jews made all the money.
	Yes. And Jews find a workaround in the book of Exodus.
	It explicitly actually prohibits it, but the rabbis found a workaround because they realized that flourishing and prosperity actually comes with the ability to charge interest, right?
	I'm very pro-interest because then you're allowed to bet on entrepreneurs and bet on people to buy homes.
	So I think that's part of it, but not the whole story.
	I don't know how deep you want to get into this theologically, Patrick.
	There are some fundamental differences between worldview of Muslims and Christians that I think need to be ironed out, but I will get back.
	I'm not that interested in that conversation.
	I'm just not. What I'm more interested in...
	Yeah, he's not interested in a conversation about user either, is he?
	He won't go there either.
	Well, let's look at Ricard's.
	James Ricard says, why gold?
	Why now? Despite the Wall Street happy talk about the Federal Reserve winning the battle against inflation, that battle has not been won.
	In other words, inflation is not gone.
	It may even be on the rise with higher oil prices lately due to geopolitical concerns.
	Sure, 3.4% inflation is a lot better than 9% inflation.
	Actually, to be more accurate, we would say 8% inflation is better than 20% inflation, which is what the real numbers used to work.
	But he says a 3.4% inflation rate cuts the value of the dollar in half in 21 years.
	How about that? Cuts it in half in 21 years.
	And it cuts it in half again in another 21 years.
	So if you're young and you want to save wealth for your retirement, Understand that you're purchasing power of something that you put, even at this inflation rate, if it doesn't really kick up again, even at this inflation rate, you're going to have purchasing power that is only one quarter of what you put into it.
	He says a 75% dollar devaluation in 42 years or the course of a typical career from the age of 23 to the age of 65.
	He says that's one of the main reasons I recommend gold.
	Gold is priced in dollars, but inflation means that the dollar is worth less, worthless in terms of purchasing power.
	That means that it takes more dollars to buy gold, so the dollar price of gold goes up, which you lose in the rest of your portfolio in terms of dollar purchasing power.
	It is made up in part or all from the profits you make on the higher dollar price of gold.
	Owning gold will protect you from the ravages of inflation.
	You'll have your inflation protection in place 24-7, and you won't be caught off guard.
	That's why a lot of people will diversify.
	So he points out, get diversified.
	Gold as a hedge against inflation, not as a get-rich-quick scheme.
	Get-rich-quick schemes are going to make you broke faster than inflation will.
	But it is also a hedge against CBDCs as well.
	There's never been more compelling reasons to get into gold.
	Supply chain disruptions, economic sanctions, asset seizures and freezes, bond defaults.
	Oil prices can spike if key waterways are closed or a ship is sunk.
	Economic sanctions and financial warfare are all things that can affect our economy.
	Of course, we know that they want to completely redesign the financial system, right?
	That was part of Biden's order going back to March of last year.
	And how do you do that?
	How do you completely redesign the financial system?
	Well, you wipe out the working financial system right now.
	You've got to destroy everything before you build back better, right?
	Gold tends to be insulated from such shocks because there is no issuer, no creditor, no country involved.
	It's just gold. Which means that you can hold it safely.
	You can wait out the turmoil without any adverse effects.
	Gold prices do not correlate closely to stock prices.
	Gold and stocks are driven by separate factors.
	That makes gold a good diversification asset for portfolios that are heavily into stocks.
	When a portfolio is highly diversified, it can produce higher expected returns without adding risk.
	That's a key thing. By the way, Tony Arterman is not going to be joining us today.
	He's in a conference in Mexico, but I think he's speaking there.
	But again, if you go to davidknight.gold, that'll take you to wisewolf.gold.
	He's still got people who will help you if you want to buy and sell while he's gone.
	He can also help you to diversify or to have a hedge against tyranny.
	In a gradual way, they'll handle very small or very large purchases, but also help you to make gradual purchases with his Wolfpack, where you can buy in at a certain fixed amount each month as an automatic savings program.
	So, you know, when we look back at something that is going to hold your value, it's not just inflation.
	I look at the stock market and I know what it's like with a dot-com thing.
	I know what it's like to go from being a paper millionaire to worthless toilet paper.
	I've seen that.
	I've lived through that.
	I've lived through the massive inflation in the 1970s and the oil embargo there.
	But I've not lived through a complete financial reset of the system.
	None of us has. We don't really know exactly what that's going to entail.
	And none of us has had a situation where the government is designing a system to destroy our financial security, to destroy our equity in our homes and everything else.
	We've not lived through something like that.
	So you better start making a hedge against that.
	Before we go to break, I want to read some of the comments.
	Retruth says, I'm considered a high risk because I don't have debt.
	Yeah, they don't like people that don't get into debt.
	They love the credit. Reporting companies suggested that I get more credit cards.
	Yeah, well, I mean, the only reason that you need, you know, they want to loan money to people who like to borrow money.
	And so, you know, there are some good uses, like I said, for borrowing money, but, you know, you can get a credit card and just have a minimum amount there that you pay off all the time.
	That'll up your credit rating, perhaps.
	I don't know. Jason Barker, the middle class are now moving into the poor window because of inflation.
	But they are still taxed as middle class.
	It's going to be two classes at some point.
	That's right. There's absolutely no talk anymore about pulling back on the IRS. Remember that?
	Remember that? You had, when Biden came out with this $60 billion increase, increase for the IRS's current budget is $13 billion.
	You had Kevin McCarthy say, well, we're not going to do that much.
	We're going to... We're going to take it down to like, I don't know, we'll do 45, 46, you know.
	But I'm not going to do that.
	We're going to knock off like 20 or something like that.
	And then Mike Johnson comes in and he says, well, I want to give 14 billion to Israel, but we're going to have to cut that out of the 60.
	Not what Kevin McCarthy would say.
	We're going to cut it out of the 60.
	That Biden wants additional for the IRS. Well, that was a no-go.
	And so now you've got coming out of the Senate, no money for the border, no cuts for the IRS. But they want the full amount of, you know, 60 for Ukraine and 15 for Israel.
	No cuts. Nothing for us.
	Nothing for us. Bulldog said it's insane trying to get out of Publix under $300.
	Yeah, you know, we can go grocery shopping with my little Miata, as small as the trunk is, and spend over $100 filling up that trunk.
	It's truly amazing.
	I spent well over $200 at the grocery store the other day for just relatively few items.
	Sneaky snake foods.
	Food things, really easy.
	Just look at the freezer section in Sam's Club.
	Everything used to be $3 to $7.
	Now it's $15 minimum.
	Silicat, 1980.
	Biden shut down pipelines day one.
	Later, he bombed a pipeline in Europe.
	Two of them, actually. That's a major cause of inflation, the decrease of available energy prices, or causes an increase in energy prices.
	Yeah, Joe Biden is a one-man OPEC embargo, isn't he?
	Let me go back to the 1970s.
	The average price of things did not go down under T-Rump.
	That's right. Or under T-Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	Night Show.
	you Jason Barger writes, inflation is repeated tax on savings.
	Yeah, that's right. It's a tax on life, says Doug Alug.
	And usury is 100% against God, says Wes Robertson.
	That's right. That's right.
	Yeah, imagine if you had a congressional candidate.
	We wanted to make that a central issue.
	He could do commercials with Jesus.
	He had money changers and everything, couldn't he?
	Jason Barker.
	My wife and I have been saving as much as possible for a decade now.
	I hate to see what we saved diminished through inflation.
	We did without a lot of comforts to save that money, and it makes me irate when they print more money and steal my wealth.
	Yes, I agree. Absolutely.
	I remember my dad was...
	My dad was approaching retirement, and again, he's always worked for himself.
	He didn't have any kind of retirement fund or anything, but he had worked very hard, and he was self-employed.
	And he put money aside, and it was just getting eviscerated just overnight with all the inflation that happened in the aftermath of the OPEC embargo.
	So, yeah, I heard a lot about that.
	And we haven't seen that yet again, but it's going to be coming, I think.
	And it's really horrible.
	And, you know, when we talk about people scraping and saving and then having it eaten away by inflation, one of the things that made me so angry at Trump Was that lockdown?
	And how he destroyed the savings and the labor of all these small business people who had service businesses that he declared were not essential.
	I said, who are you to tell people that their life's work is not essential?
	You failed casino pimp!
	We put our hope and trust in people like that.
	People of not just low character, but of no character.
	People have no business judgment whatsoever.
	He bankrupted six casinos.
	How do you do that?
	It's like printing money.
	An idiot. A dishonest, low-character, low-life, narcissistic idiot is what he is.
	KWD, 68. 500 ounces of gold in 1960, worth about $17,000.
	Now that same bar is worth over one million.
	Yeah, more than kept up with inflation.
	Dougalug, now your property values will soar and they will tax the heck out of you.
	That's the other thing too, yeah.
	You know, when you look at all these death taxes and stuff like that for farms and small businesses, they tax you on that inflation.
	It's one of the reasons why there should be no estate taxes from the government because they run up the putative price of the thing in dollars.
	And then they use that to put you in a really high tax bracket.
	Junk silver. The feds can't print more gold and silver.
	That's the biggest argument for it, right?
	Them sellers are young adult children are really struggling for good housing and buying cars.
	It's so expensive they just can't get ahead.
	They're raised to use cash and to be debt-free.
	I know. I know it's that way with my sons as well.
	Soylent Goy, if you have unwavering principles, you really can't follow any politicians or their advocates.
	That's right. Look at what they do, not what they say.
	Patrick Henry, trust no man or woman.
	Bind them down with the chains of the Constitution and watch what they do, right?
	These people don't see the Constitution as binding them down at all.
	A New Zealand central banker says the quiet part out loud.
	This is from Wine Press News.
	The guy is the New Zealand Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr.
	He joked about what central banking is really like.
	This should be a classic meme.
	He said, we actually fund ourselves, and then this is on February the 12th, by the way.
	So this is your new meme that's out there.
	I'm sure somebody will send me one of these.
	On February the 12th, he said, we actually fund ourselves, and then we decide what dividends to pay.
	It's a great business to be in, central banking, where you print money and people believe it.
	Better than anything I've ever seen.
	And he had the audacity to say this because what are you going to do about it, right?
	We've got politicians who are even afraid to call out the usury of the banks, of the regular banks, let alone what the central bank is doing.
	He said he was, quote, critically concerned with the rise of decentralized digital currency such as Bitcoin.
	Oh, I bet he is. Because that means that's a check on his imaginary money.
	He argued that Bitcoin lacks the three main properties of money.
	So what are the three main properties of money?
	Well, this is not what he says.
	This is what I say the three main properties of central bank fiat money is.
	The properties are power, control, and surveillance.
	That's what they want.
	But he says the three main properties of money are means of exchange, A store of value and a unit of account.
	And he says, you know, Bitcoin doesn't do that.
	Oh, yes, it does. It's a means of exchange.
	It's a better store of value than their fiat currencies are, especially gold.
	But, you know, fiat currency is not a store of money.
	So he just said, you know, his money is not real money.
	We've been talking about that.
	How it declines in value all the time.
	It's not a store of money.
	Gold is a store of money.
	It has kept its value over generations.
	But not any of these currencies that they just make up.
	And people believe it.
	Speaking of making up money that people just believe, look at this.
	Democrat Representative Congresswoman Barbara Lee, by the way, she's running for Senate.
	This is the kind of people they send us from California.
	U.S. Senate, she wants to run for.
	She's called for a $50 minimum wage.
	Exactly. This is what Rush Limbaugh used to joke about.
	He goes, you can raise it to $15.
	Raise it to $50. She says, sold!
	I'll do it! I want to be a senator.
	I promise them I'll raise it up to $50 an hour.
	We'll all be rich, won't we?
	No. I mean, they talk about wage and price controls because the two things are connected.
	You raise wages, you're going to raise prices because...
	Any company that doesn't understand what their price basis is is going to be out of business.
	And so if your price is raised dramatically up to $50 an hour minimum wage, you're going to have to raise everybody's wages that way.
	And you're going to have to raise the prices of everything to cover those increased costs.
	So the prices of everything are going to go up as well.
	Wage and price controls never worked.
	They didn't work for Nixon.
	He tried to use them for controlling inflation, and it didn't work.
	And so they're not going to make you wealthy either.
	She argues that Californians cannot get by on less than $100,000 a year due to the state's high cost of living.
	As I've said many times, people in power will make two mistakes rather than admit to one.
	Why is the cost of living in California so high?
	Why is it higher in California than it is in other places?
	It's because of your policies.
	You're not going to fix any of those policies.
	Instead, you're going to double down and make another mistake that's going to be inflationary, that's going to drive the cost of everything much, much higher, because this isn't the first time they've played this game of throwing out phony money to the crowd.
	They used to live in Tampa. They would have the Gasparilla Festival when I was growing up.
	I guess they still do.
	They'd have all these doctors and lawyers get into this club and they'd put makeup on their face, actually.
	When Kara and I were in college, the band actually made some money.
	I don't know if we made money or if it was a volunteer thing.
	I didn't get paid for it, but went down and put makeup on these guys one year.
	And they were drunk, you know, and they're out there shooting off their cap guns and throwing out funny money to people, you know, fake money, stuff that glitters, but was not gold.
	That's what these Democrats are doing.
	That's what the campaign is, right?
	A bunch of people put on spending money like drunken pirates, which is an insult to drunken pirates, as Reagan would say.
	And throwing cash out to the crowd, making a lot of noise in a parade.
	It's such a ridiculous ritual that we go through.
	Current national minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.
	The California minimum wage is $16 an hour.
	She said in the Bay Area, she said, I think it was the United Way that came out with a report that very recently $127,000 for a family of four is just barely enough to get by.
	Another survey very recently said $104,000 for a family of one is barely enough to get by, she said.
	Well, I don't know.
	I mean, that's... Is she going to be able to get by if she gets the salary of a congresswoman?
	Oh, they get a little bit extra on the side, don't they?
	You can be a community organizer and you can become a centimillionaire or a billionaire off of this.
	Just ask Obama. So they're not really too worried.
	They've got their side hustles, don't they?
	Literal hustles that they've got going on.
	Yeah, well, they get about, what is it, $150,000 or something like that a year?
	I guess they're just barely getting by.
	We've heard AOC complain about that.
	She's got to get some sponsors out there that she can cut some deals with.
	Barbara Lee is in a crowded race for Senate, includes fellow Democrat lawmakers Adam Schiff and Katie Porter, as well as Republican former professional baseball player Steve Garvey, who the one time I heard him say anything, He made it very clear at the very end of it.
	He says, look, I'm totally in favor of abortion.
	It's like, okay, fine. We're done with you.
	Schiff and Porter have both signal support for minimum wage to between $20 and $25 an hour.
	Garvey said during the debate, the minimum wage is where it should be.
	Notice that nobody opposes wage and price controls.
	And this is so typical of Republicans.
	You know, again, as I pointed out, Rush Limbaugh would say, well...
	$15 an hour? Make it $50 an hour.
	Let's all make ourselves rich.
	But nobody will say we shouldn't have a minimum wage.
	We shouldn't have wage and price controls.
	Get the government out of that as well.
	And where is their authority to do that?
	Is there anything in the Constitution? It says that the federal government can set wages and prices.
	There's no authority for that, and yet we've had Democrats and Republicans continue to do that.
	As I said, Richard Nixon put in wage and price controls, and it was an absolute fiasco because you can't centrally plan the economy.
	And that's part of the problem with the central bank.
	They're not even trying to do it in our own interest.
	So we'll see what happens in California.
	And unfortunately, what happens in California does not stay in California.
	But there was an excellent article while we're still here on money.
	the last refuge Published this from a writer named Sundance and he talks about the US CBDC and what we can learn about the American plans for CBDC Based on the sanctions that we see in Russia just like I played earlier, you know, take a look at this video for Ukraine where they talk about the Diia and what they think life in Ukraine is gonna be like, oh
	Oh, great. You're going to have this CBDC and biometrics and everything, and you won't have to carry around your driver's license or any ID, and it's all going to be cashless, and you're going to be completely under our thumb.
	And that is being pushed by Samantha Powers and other areas.
	So we know, without a doubt, that that is the American plan.
	And then we look at what is happening in the Russian sanctions.
	That also gives us a glimpse into the financial machinations of our American government.
	And he said, when you look at the sanctions that are happening there, he said, let me start by saying that everything we read about Western sanctions against Russia is false.
	What sanctions might exist do not have any impact on And Eastern Europe has no intention of angering Putin.
	When Brussels threatens to kick Hungary out of the EU or NATO, I can almost hear Viktor Orban saying, don't threaten me with a good time.
	Or maybe if it was, don't throw me in that briar patch, briar fox.
	Hungary doesn't even use or rely on the euro for domestic financial transactions.
	They still retain their own national currency.
	First things first with the Western financial sanctions, specifically the SWIFT exchange.
	It's true that you can't use Visa, MasterCard, or mainstream Western financial tools to conduct business in Russia.
	However, the number of workarounds for this issue are numerous.
	One of those is the use of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
	And within that reality, you find something very ominous about the U.S. motive.
	He says, factually, outside of the USA, Binance is being used to purchase and to trade crypto without any issue.
	But inside the US, that's regulated.
	He said, take a look at the MEXC, the Mexican Crypto Exchange.
	He said, that is also available globally.
	But not allowed in the US. The same thing applies to MetaMask, used all over Europe but not permitted in the United States.
	And so you start to ask yourself, why all these crypto exchanges are available to the rest of the world, but not to the USA? And you start to suspect that the Russian sanctions, just like the Patriot Act, are about something else entirely.
	He goes, and then there's app wallets.
	You can have Apple Pay tied to your bank account, the wallet feature, other apps like Telegram.
	But you can't find the wallet feature if you try to use it from a USA cell phone.
	This feature is not allowed on your region, it'll say.
	Well, I've never noticed that because I would never put my money on my phone.
	But, yeah, they're even saying the app feature is blocked in your region.
	Why are digital wallets available for the rest of the world?
	But blocked by the U.S. government.
	And this stuff has been escalating as we look at what's going on with the Biden administration as Elizabeth Warren and her cronies are trying to lock everything down.
	He said the commonly accepted bottom line is that it's Western sanctions.
	And that they're being organized by the Biden administration and the U.S. Treasury were not intended to put financial walls around Russia.
	They were designed to put control walls around the U.S.A. Just like most of the stuff that they're talking about doing at the border, most of the stuff that they're talking about doing in terms of rectifying a massive wave of illegal immigration, oh well, we'll institute E-Verify.
	And they did that in Florida.
	DeSantis and the Republicans in Florida said, we're going to implement E-Verify.
	That's been around for a while, voluntarily, but they want to make it mandatory.
	Because of illegal immigrants.
	What did I say before about Barbara Lee and the minimum wage in California?
	People in power will make two mistakes rather than admit to one.
	They do not want to fix the border.
	Neither party wants to fix the border, folks.
	Yeah, Biden wants it full on.
	Bring it on. Okay?
	The Republicans pretend that they want to fix it to get your vote, but they're not doing anything to fix it.
	And the key thing about it is the financial incentivization to bring these people in.
	And then after they create this problem, the solution that they offer you is, guess what?
	An ID. Always a solution to virtually every MacGuffin that they create.
	An ID. So, the walls, as Ron Paul said about Trump's wall, you know, a wall can keep you in as well as keep other people out.
	And the same thing is true of these IDs.
	They're going to be used to control you, not to control these people.
	Look at when, during the Trump administration, people were coming in, continued in the Biden administration.
	These illegal immigrants are being flown around the country without masks.
	We had to wear masks and go through all these rituals if you wanted to fly or something like that.
	They waive all the rules for everybody else.
	Just like the Patriot Act.
	The Patriot Act was not about terrorists.
	It was to terrorize American patriots.
	That's what it always was about.
	We always knew that.
	I hope you always knew it.
	I always knew that. And now we see it being implemented that way.
	Russia was just a useful justification.
	Just like the War on Terror was a useful justification.
	Just like the War on Terror was based on their false flag 9-11 attack.
	So they could come after patriots.
	Here's how it really looks from the outside, looking at the USA, he said.
	The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism, but rather to create a domestic surveillance system...
	So, too, were the Russian sanctions not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to the USA digital currency, which he doesn't say, but that is also about digital surveillance, domestic digital surveillance.
	It all comes back to surveillance and control.
	That's what they're always about.
	Everything the American government does is about that.
	And quite frankly, when we talk about the lockdowns that Trump implemented, I said from the very beginning, I said, these are an act of war.
	Sanctions are an act of war.
	The lockdowns were sanctions.
	The lockdowns were sanctions against Main Street American businesses in favor of Wall Street.
	Wall Street was essential.
	You were non-essential. That was Trump.
	Trump. The Western sanctions against Russia are not having any impact against Russia.
	And of course, part of the reason for that, as I reported last week, you have big European banks, like Lloyd's of London, going around those sanctions.
	This is good news, quite frankly.
	There will always be a black market.
	And the more restrictive the government gets, the more that black market will exist.
	Even amongst the biggest institutions...
	They're pushing into this black market, and they will continue to do so.
	I mean, when you look at the fact that these people want to have complete surveillance and control of us, take heart in the fact that they have not been able to succeed in the war on drugs for over 50 years.
	It's a black market.
	And they haven't been able to shut it down.
	Yeah, it's going to hurt some people that get caught against that.
	They're going to be able to put a lot of people in prison, but they can't shut it down.
	They're not going to be able to shut down something for which something, you know, drugs are evil, drugs are bad, and they can't even shut that down.
	They want to shut us down from life-affirming good things they want to take away from us.
	There's no way they're going to win that war.
	No way. No way.
	If you pick an entry point into the EU in the Shenzhen area, the border-free zone inside the EU, he says once you're inside of that, you can travel without any national checkpoints or any passport checks.
	In other words, you know, I'm flying within that European zone.
	I don't have to... Show your identity papers, please.
	Right? Oh, but you can't go anywhere even within the United States without showing your identity papers, can you, at the airport?
	Letting them scan your face now.
	All the rest of this stuff.
	He points out, in other words, the EU, the EU, that we don't think of as being free because of their desire for censorship and everything, it's movement there.
	It's less controlled and tracked and monitored than movement within the United States.
	Freedom of travel is greater in the EU than it is in the USA. Land of the fee, home of the slave.
	An entire industry has arisen selling telephone IDs with EU phone numbers to process the transactions that are blocked by the USA sanctions regime, the Biden sanctions regime.
	Meaning a person could buy a phone and register a phone number from within the EU, then go back to the United States, access all of the blocked and restricted financial processes such as Binance, Metamask, MexC, Telegram, Digital Wallet, etc.
	This would permit them to do untracked financial transactions into and out of Russia from the USA without the U.S. government knowing anything about them.
	So, he says, in fact, the Russian economy is doing just fine, better than they did before the Ukrainian conflict.
	I pointed out that in just the first few months, Russia was still able to sell gold.
	To sell oil, sell it for gold.
	If you paid with gold, you would get a 30% discount.
	And even with that 30% discount, they were still selling the same amount of oil that they sold before, but at a much, much higher price, even with a 30% discount.
	And that was happening from the very beginning.
	I said, this is not a sanction against Russia.
	This is a sanction by the U.S. government against the EU and against American consumers.
	The U.S. government knows all of this, he points out, right?
	You know, they may, Biden may be senile, but these people are not stupid.
	They know what's going on.
	So then why are they doing the sanction?
	Well, the sanctions are not directed at Russia, as I said before.
	They're directed at Americans, at Europeans.
	They want to impoverish us.
	They want to limit our energy in yet another way, you know, going beyond the Paris Climate Accord, escalating it, accelerating it, faster than the Paris Climate Accords would do.
	The Western sanctions create a financial wall around the USA, not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in.
	In essence, the Ukrainian war response justified a system that created a digital dollar.
	And they're not done with that.
	They want that D-I-I-A pushed everywhere to everyone.
	Finally, one last piece of economic stuff here.
	The IRS is suing the FDIC. And they don't even have their army of IRS agents yet.
	This thing is going to get worse and worse.
	This is over the bank collapses, right?
	And they want to be in there as a secured creditor for their taxes.
	Yeah, it's going to...
	You haven't seen anything yet.
	Just wait until the Democrats and the Republicans blow the IRS up to seven times its current size.
	That's still on board. You know, all the talks about saying, well, we're only going to grow up by five times the size that it is now.
	Democrats want to grow up by seven times bigger.
	We're going to make it five times bigger.
	No, they haven't done anything. All their talk about quote-unquote cuts, that's just less of an increase.
	You know, you grow something, make it 500% bigger.
	That's not a cut.
	Only in Washington did they call it a cut, but they're not even doing that.
	They're going to grow up by 700% still.
	They haven't even reduced that 700% demand to grow it.
	My son says, here's the winning slogan for Barbara Lee.
	I promise a Lamborghini in every driveway.
	You know, not a chicken in every pot as FDR did, but a Lamborghini in every driveway.
	Electric Lamborghini, of course.
	We don't want to have any of those CO2 spewing wild bulls that are out there.
	Bulldog. Gold and silver is being printed with gold ETFs.
	It'll take a thousand years to dig gold ETFs from the ground.
	Basically worthless paper gold.
	I agree. I agree.
	I got clued into that when I noticed the price of gold changing on the spot markets.
	The price of real gold and the price of the ETF was not changing.
	It's like, what's going on with this?
	Oh, that's from the Shanghai Exchange.
	It's like, this stuff is supposed to be in vaults in Shanghai?
	Do you trust that? Do you trust these Shanghai people?
	I think they shanghaied the gold markets while they tried to do.
	All these things with derivatives, just like we're talking about natural asset companies and all these other things.
	I mean, they always come up with these financial instruments.
	That's why I can't understand. You know, the Bitcoin ETF? Seriously?
	As a matter of fact, a lot of money is now flowing out of these gold and silver ETFs into the Bitcoin ETF. Junk Silver says $100 bills will make nice toilet paper, though.
	You can't do that with gold or silver.
	That's right. Actually, I prefer the $5 bills because it's got Lincoln's face on it.
	Jason Barker, Tony helped me get my 401k into precious metals.
	Physically sits in a private vault.
	The private vault is important because it's not a bank.
	That's right. There are extra steps that have to be taken if the government wants to go after it.
	That's absolutely right.
	Yeah, think about that, folks.
	Jason Barker, I can't wait to get the indoor garden going because food prices are just going to keep going up.
	Doing a good job there, Jason, in terms of prepping.
	Good for you. Bulldog, we're being overrun with non-citizens who are completely reliant on the government for living expenses.
	And they will be the first ones to take the CBDC because that's the way they roll this out in India.
	They went to the people who were dependent on government and said, if you want welfare and health care, you take the number.
	The Adhar system.
	And Bill Gates is working hand in glove with the Indian government to get that done.
	A Christian constitutional conservative says, Tony's goldbacks only have value in a handful of states.
	Care to comment, David?
	Well, again, it doesn't mean that you can't give it to somebody.
	It doesn't mean, you know, any exchange like that is not, you know...
	Cash, for example, right, has printed on it, valid for all debts, you know, private and public or whatever, something like that.
	In other words, you're required to take it.
	And it says that on pretty much all of this central bank fiat currency, and yet you can still have people who will say, we don't want to take that.
	Talk to Piers Corbin, who did a video.
	He went into an Aldi's in the UK, and they said, we've gone cashless.
	We're not taking cash anymore.
	And he says, I'm getting these strawberries, and I'm leaving you this money, and it says it's valid for these debts and everything.
	And so we're going to call the police. He goes, please do.
	Please do. Call the police. I said, well, there's nothing we can do about it.
	He gave you the money. He's paid you for this.
	He's not stealing it. The bottom line is it has to be a willing thing in most cases.
	When you're talking about anything else in terms of gold or silver, it is about...
	Willing acceptance of it.
	And the goldbacks are just there again as a hedge the way I see it.
	They're a hedge for a situation where there's been a massive financial collapse and, you know, you've got to have something that's smaller than the value of a gold coin.
	That's why a lot of people get silver, for example.
	But when we're talking about gold or silver, even though it's recognized as money in the Constitution, there's no way that you can legally compel anybody to take that stuff.
	But if it's something of real value, especially as a hedge against this stuff, it's a good way to be able to make these exchanges in the worst case scenario that we're looking at.
	The way I look at it, you're getting gold and silver to maintain the value of your money, to not lose your wealth due to inflation, which is knocking on the door.
	The other thing that is banging on the door like a SWAT team is the CBDC. And so in both of those cases, there's no guarantee that people are going to take your gold, your silver, or your gold backs, but you at least have something of value that retains its value that you can trade with people.
	And of course, there's other things that you can do that with.
	Your skills are very important as well.
	Ammunition, food, all these different things.
	It's just a way of preparing and having something to exchange with people.
	And so from that standpoint, I think it's very valuable.
	The individual that I talked to who wrote the book to try to bring attention to the threat of CBDC, you heard, if you heard that interview, excellent interview, and I can't remember his name now.
	But it was just in the last couple of weeks I talked to him.
	And he said that he takes those goldbacks and he leaves them as tips for people.
	And he leaves, he's got a little thing printed up and explains what that is for people.
	We are losing even the desire for people to use and accept cash.
	And so it's a little bit of an educational thing and, you know, do our bit to Catherine Austin Fitz says, make every Friday a cash Friday where you only pay for things in cash to try to keep it alive.
	If everybody stops using cash, then the businesses are going to not be equipped to take them and you're going to have a situation like, you know, Piers Corbin did.
	But still, the law is on your side with that.
	But we want to try to normalize these things.
	And so what he was doing was he was handing out these gold backs to people and saying, you know, here is what this is about, and explain it to them so they know that they got something of value.
	Inmax, Putin is converting dollars into gold, so probably a good idea.
	Yeah, I agree. Well, he's doing it because, again, he's trying to get outside the U.S. system.
	We need to be looking at ways to get outside the U.S. system as well, because as this article pointed out, you know, these sanctions and other things that are being designed are walls to enslave us.
	We don't want to be in that system.
	That's what's important about gold and silver.
	Nothing is truly safe, but the closer it is to your person, the easier it is to protect it.
	And you're also working to protect your privacy and your anonymity and those things as well.
	By having something that is physical, that is outside of the digital world, we need to make sure that we're not trapped.
	Everything that they want to do is based on an ID. Everything they want to do is based on getting us trapped into their virtual world.
	So you need to be looking at ways that you can get out of that.
	With your work, with your relationships, with your finances, and all the rest of this stuff.
	All right, so again, davidknight.gold will take you to tonyardepin.gold.
	He can help you with gold or silver.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.

	Making sense.
	common again you're listening to the David night show and what's her informs me that the the interview I was talking about was on January the 30th and the guy's name was Aaron day and I should be able to remember that because we joked about day and night you know he ran momentarily for president just so he could get access to some of these candidates and
	talk to them about CBDC and things like that.
	And so he ran briefly for president.
	And anyway, so Aaron Day was the one who was an excellent interview talking about the CBDC and the dangers of it and getting out of it.
	And he points out, he says, look, I'm trying to divest myself completely out of the dollar, get into gold, silver, Bitcoin, things like that.
	Let's talk a little bit about what is happening with Meathead.
	Rob Reiner. You know, the guy truly is amazing.
	You go back to, was it All in the Family, I think it was, Archie Bunker?
	And he was the annoying liberal son-in-law.
	But you know, he wasn't acting.
	That was really him.
	He really was Meathead.
	He was the guy that you were supposed to take his side.
	Norman Lear set this thing up to make fun of conservative traditional Americans.
	And so he puts Archie Bunker and his wife Edith out there as the brunt of the joke, and they're going to show just how backwards and stupid these people are.
	And he tried to make him as bigoted and stupid as he could, and yet...
	Everybody liked Archie Bunker better than they did Rob Reiner.
	His father was Carl Reiner.
	Rob Reiner, who played Meathead.
	And that's who he is in real life, quite frankly.
	And so now he's got a new documentary that he's putting out.
	To make hateful Christians and people who are patriots.
	Because, you know, Christian nationalism is the new threat to democracy, according to Rob Reiner and mainstream media that is pushing and promoting it.
	As Axios says, his new film, Rob Reiner, Follows the rise of white Christian nationalism.
	And again, you know, he had a successful movie with The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally.
	Not two films that are my favorite, quite frankly, but they were very successful.
	He's not as successful as an actor.
	He's... And like I said, what America hates.
	He makes Archie Bunker look good.
	That's how bad he is.
	So he said, it follows the rise of white Christian nationalism.
	Three things that he absolutely loves.
	White people, Christians, and patriots.
	And so what is a white Christian nationalist?
	Well, he's going to try to define that for you.
	A lot of people got different ideas.
	Of what Christianity is.
	A lot of people got different ideas of what they want to see this country be.
	But of course, he's going to turn it into, he's going to define this for us.
	And you will have people who will foolishly embrace these labels of the left.
	You know, just like they do even red states.
	Oh yeah, I'm a red state.
	No, red is communism and they picked that color because they didn't want to Tell people the truth about how the left was really Marxist.
	So they give you the colors of the Marxists throughout the rest of the world, throughout the rest of human history.
	These Marxist totalitarians have always carried red.
	Oh, we'll call ourselves red state.
	The new documentary portrays how a once-fringed part of the evangelical movement became a dominant force in right-wing Christian circles.
	I don't see this, quite frankly.
	They speak about how Christian nationalist movement drove a rise in megachurches whose leaders preached a form of white nationalism while decrying civil rights and LGBT sin.
	Oh, no, they say people.
	People, yeah. Christians will talk about the LGBT sin.
	It's not a loving thing to, if you believe in God, if you believe that people will answer to God, if you believe that God has spoken, He's told us what is sin and what is not.
	It's not a loving thing to not say anything to people about that.
	So, Again, I don't know any churches that decry civil rights.
	That's absolute nonsense. I don't even think these...
	Some of the central figures of this, when I think of the politicization of the Christian religion, I think of people like General Flynn, who is not Christian at all.
	He gets these people together, these QAnon people, these MAGA people, they get together in a big megachurch building, and And they have their thing there, and Flynn and others of his ilk will lead them in prayers to an occultic ascended master, verbatim from Elizabeth Clare Prophet back in the 1980s.
	I've played that clip for you many times from Flynn.
	They're not Christian.
	People like the Reawaken America tour and Flynn, that is not Christian.
	I bet it figures heavily.
	In this documentary, because it's low-hanging fruit.
	But what it does is it is used to demonize Christians, white people, patriots.
	So the film includes sound bites of Christian leaders denouncing diversity programs.
	DEI? DEI? And immigrants.
	Diversity programs and immigrants.
	Well, they probably, if they talk about the good of the country, they'd probably not be in favor of open borders.
	Even if you want to talk about what is good for the illegal aliens coming in, you would not be in favor of open borders.
	That's not even good for those people.
	As a matter of fact, it's not a very popular position even amongst Hispanics.
	These people coming across the border are being subjected to danger.
	They're being subjected to trafficking, to rape, all the rest of these things.
	I mean, this is now rampant in the Darien Gap.
	Rape and robbery and every kind of violence to people.
	Why would you encourage that? Why would you incentivize that with welfare magnets?
	That's not in the best interest of anybody.
	And DEI and that kind of racism is not in the interest of anybody.
	And racism... It's not a Christian value, as I've said many times.
	As Ken Ham points out here, he wrote a book called Of One Blood.
	He talks about how the Bible talks about how God has made of one blood all nations of the earth.
	God makes a distinction between nations, tongues, and tribes, which is political borders.
	Political borders.
	Languages and culture.
	Nations, tongues, and tribes.
	I've said many times, you know, we have even...
	You've had Michael Savage even talk about that.
	You know, he says, borders, languages, culture.
	And that's exactly what it is.
	So, he's got the CEO of the Black Christian Collective called The Witness.
	They talk in the film about...
	He says he was born again as a teenager.
	He was educated in white evangelical circles.
	He said, when I started critiquing Donald Trump's racist rhetoric, I got a level of vitriol and pushback from evangelicals that I hadn't seen.
	Well, look, okay, Jamar Tisby is his name.
	It's not because you're black.
	It's because you're against Trump.
	I get the same treatment, okay?
	You don't go against Trump in any of these circles where you've got Trump worship going on.
	And if you've got Trump worship going on in the church, get out!
	Get out of that church. Get out of that political party.
	I'm not a Republican. I'm not in any of those churches, okay?
	But if you go against Trump, yeah, you're going to get pushed back from these people.
	It's not about you being black.
	It's not about their racism.
	It's about their idolatry of Trump.
	You don't know what he's talking about.
	You also realize that white evangelicals often refuse to talk about race and social justice.
	Well, let me just say this. Like I said before, there's only one race, and that's the human race.
	If you're not part of the human race, we've got something else to talk about.
	But there's only one race.
	That's the human race.
	And as Ken Ham said, the difference is the direction that people are racing.
	Are they racing to God, or are they running from God?
	That's what it's about.
	And so the churches really do need to embrace what Martin Luther King said.
	Judge people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.
	And when you talk about social justice, real justice needs no adjective.
	If it's got an adjective, you're not talking about real justice here.
	You're talking about an agenda.
	We see this over and over again.
	There's such and such justice.
	Well, you're doing this in order to manipulate people.
	If you add an adjective to the justice, you're just talking about manipulation.
	You're talking about something else.
	And so Rob Reiner attacks politically active Christians.
	This is the purpose of this Christian nationalism and this documentary that Rob Reiner is doing is they don't want a sleeping giant that is about to wake up.
	If we start having people who get focused on what is really happening, if we have people who start being sheepdogs for the community, who actually look at the welfare of their community, not making that number one.
	That is not number one.
	God is number one.
	Your relationship to God is number one.
	Does God approve of you?
	What have you done with your sin?
	Does anybody else have any way for you to get rid of your sin?
	Then Jesus. He is the way, the truth, the life.
	No one is going to come to the Father but by him, because he's the only answer to your sin.
	You've got to pass that starting point, or it isn't going to work.
	But he wants to silence politically active Christians.
	He says, you are antithetical to the teachings of Jesus.
	So Rob Reiner thinks that he's an expert about what the teachings of Jesus are, does he?
	He says, Jesus was about peace and love and helping thy neighbor.
	He even says that. Helping thy neighbor.
	Rob Reiner even goes into King James on us, right?
	He's just saying, thee and thou.
	What a bunch of nonsense.
	John Silver says, Reiner is a great expert on the teachings of Jesus.
	Just ask him. Yeah. What a joke.
	This is the King James Reiner version of the Bible.
	Yeah. No, no, Jesus didn't come to spread peace and love and to help thy neighbor.
	He came to die for your sins.
	But most people don't even want to acknowledge that.
	That's what people had a problem with this Super Bowl commercial.
	He gets us. No, you're still focused on yourself.
	And you're still focused on the horizontal.
	You're not even looking at the vertical.
	So everything else flows from that right relationship.
	It's not the basis, you know, doing these things of helping your neighbor.
	That's not the basis of getting right with God.
	Those are perhaps evidence that you have had that relationship with God, that he has changed what you want out of life.
	It's not the basis of getting right with God.
	It's just like, you know, Bloomberg said, well...
	Yeah, that's easy. He says, if there is a God, I'm going straight in through the gates because I've given so much money to my fellow man.
	Really? Has he? Has he even done it out of love and wanting to help people, or has he done it out of his power trip that is there?
	Rob Reiner goes on to say the Christian nationalist movement.
	He says, it says that it's my way or the highway, and the Christian nationalist movement will resort to violence if we don't get our way, which is what we saw happening on January 6th.
	Again, this is a straw man.
	He's talking about the QAnon MAGA movement, the Reawaken America movement, the Michael Flynn movement, these types of people who are out there.
	That is not Christian.
	We need to get rid of MAGA. We need to say, make America godly again.
	And it isn't going to happen with people like Michael Flynn.
	This is a guy who was pushing the LGBT agenda back in 2014 in the Pentagon, pushing it on that Navy SEAL. So this is Christian nationalism as a label, and as I said before, there's going to be a temptation for a lot of conservatives to foolishly accept that label when they ought to never accept the labels of the left.
	But before we run out of time, and I don't really have much time, I might want to let this go over a little bit.
	Anyway, why conservatives lose and what we have to do about it.
	This is from Michael Clary.
	And he's got some good points to make.
	He said, good things are destroyed easily, but not easily created.
	And that's a quote from Roger Scruton, who talked about beauty and architecture and other things like that.
	And don't we see that around everywhere?
	He gives the example of Notre Dame taking 183 years to build, but is almost completely destroyed by fire in a matter of hours in 2019.
	But I would give the example of the beautiful statues that have been defaced and destroyed by these leftist mobs.
	They could never make a statue like that.
	These people don't have the ability to create anything.
	They just want to tear down and destroy it.
	It's very easy to do that.
	And he says that's what progressivism is.
	Progressivism is a progressive disease that has infected evangelical Christianity as well, poisoning its bloodstream.
	And of course, just like the jab injected by the government into you.
	And their assets in the media and in academia.
	As Christian schools are overrun by tenured leftist professors and publishers selling cloaked leftist propaganda to unsuspecting conservatives, naive Christians convince themselves this too shall pass.
	If they just keep their heads down, silent and compliant, they will leave us alone.
	And this is what Rob Reiner is trying to do.
	He's trying to intimidate you against speaking out.
	But we have to ask ourselves, first of all, what are we trying to preserve?
	If we don't get back to fundamentals, if we don't get back to God, what is it that we're trying to preserve?
	You know, if we got some savior like they imagined Trump to be, and if he were able to get in, and let's say that he focused on fixing America and fixing our liberty, and we all had liberty and we lived in a truly free country, is that really your goal?
	Is that sufficient? Are you going to settle for heaven on earth for a moment?
	And then what? Right?
	If you're not right with God, you're looking at an eternity of torment.
	Or if you are right with God, you're looking at a much better life and an eternal life as well.
	But, you know, these things, and when I look at this, do you want to really live in Trump world?
	Trump world where you're ruled by a guy who is all about hookers, casinos, and greed?
	Seriously, is this what you want?
	Because these are the things that control him.
	They got that right in Back to the Future, didn't they?
	Donald Trump is Biff.
	Everything in his life revolves around that, just like Biff.
	Now, they said here, progressivism cannot build.
	It only destroys.
	Because it is Marxism.
	It is Marxism.
	Marxism only destroys.
	It's like a parasite.
	And that same thing is true of materialism.
	Of this secular political idolatry that we see all around us.
	You know, it was Hillary Clinton who talked about the politics of meaning.
	And I've said many, many times in talking about Hillary Clinton how pathetic it is that the meaning of life for her revolves around politics.
	That politics is really giving meaning to her life.
	But Donald Trump is the same way as well.
	People who get so focused in the Trumpism and the MAGA stuff, they're the same way as well.
	It is the politics of meaning.
	It's what gives meaning to their life.
	And so he says in conclusion, he says, elections matter, but we don't win by elections alone.
	The need of the hour is that we have a positive vision for society.
	A positive Christian vision for society.
	Just as Adam was told to work and to keep the garden, just as Nehemiah's men rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other.
	As a matter of fact, you go back and look at Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
	Actually, his publication was Sword and Trowel.
	We defend and we build.
	And don't pay attention to people like Rob Reiner.
	You can defend this and just understand that the work, as he points out, begins locally in the home by establishing faithful, multi-generational households committed to giving children a rigorous Christian education.
	But understand, that's not enough.
	I've seen so many homeschool kids who have gone off the rail.
	We can work as hard as we want, but it's really about prayer because there's not going to be any glory for us.
	God is glorified or not.
	And if you make this about glorifying God, if that's the reason that you are training your kids, because you love your kids, because you love God, and you give the glory to God, and you ask in prayer, He will honor that.
	But it's not going to be our work.
	It's sufficient. Our work is necessary, but it is not sufficient.
	In our churches, we need pastors, we need elders who teach the old ways, and Not these novel innovations so commonly found in giga churches that become nothing but breeding grounds for apostasy.
	I didn't show it, but there was a disgusting video on Super Bowl Sunday.
	This giant megachurch with a female pastor.
	They were doing all this Super Bowl stuff.
	They had fog machines.
	They had fireworks and sparkle things going up inside.
	Pretty amazing, really.
	And the female pastor, to kick things off, they had a guy tee up a Bible.
	And she comes over and kicks the Bible into the audience.
	This is what these people are about.
	Giant monitors. I mean, no limit to the amount of money they've got, just like Joel Osteen.
	So, he says, in the public square, Christians need to rediscover our prophetic voice.
	It doesn't mean they're going to predict the future.
	We're talking about...
	Telling people the truth.
	That's what he means. Christians comfort themselves with a dim hope that their personal kindness, that their winsome tolerance, will have accumulated enough goodwill to persuade other people to become Christians.
	Don't count on it.
	First of all, it is God who changes the heart, not your tolerance.
	Paul said we have to destroy arguments.
	We have to take down every lofty opinion that is raised against the knowledge of God.
	We should be prepared to call bigots and narrow-minded fundamentalists because that's what they already think we are.
	Remember, God said, the world will hate you.
	They hated me first.
	We don't seek to be hateful, but we don't recoil if we think we're going to be hated.
	The task before us is daunting, but we serve a God who raises the dead.
	And this country is dead.
	Thank you for joining us.
	They created Common Past to track and control us.
	Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
