	You
	Using free speech to free minds.
	You're listening to The David Night Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday the 5th of March.
	Year of our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to give you a little bit of a preview of Super Tuesday, except it's not so super.
	There's really not anything to talk about, except how bad the two candidates are.
	What does it take to replace them?
	What a shambles this has become.
	These primaries have devolved into a North Korea format where there's only one choice on the ballot and nobody likes that choice.
	But we're also going to begin with the news.
	We're going to take a look at what is being pushed upon us in terms of changing our food, what is happening with the Smokehouse Creek fire.
	You know, this thing is only 15% contained.
	We'll be right back.
	Welcome to the Smoking Room.
	Now let's begin with the Smokehouse Creek Fire, which is aptly named now.
	It's taking out and barbecuing the cattle in the largest cattle area in the country.
	And, of course, Texas is so big.
	When I saw the name of the place where they believe the fire began in Canadian, Texas, Texas is so big, it's got Paris, it's got Rome, it's got Canadian that's included in there as well.
	I mean, it's so funny, the aspirational names that they have there.
	But this was a lawsuit that has been filed by a family claiming that this fire began with a fallen power pole.
	Took out her house.
	In her suit, this woman alleges the pole, which the companies, quote, failed to properly inspect, maintain, replace, splintered and snapped off at its base.
	As a result, the utility, the power utility lines hit the ground, igniting a fire which spread quickly into an uncontrollable conflagration.
	They said the lawsuit does not provide specific evidence for the claim that it was started by a utility pole.
	However, there was a filing with the SEC, Securities and Exchange Commission, where the energy company disclosed the fact that a law firm had requested that a fallen utility pole situated near that area be preserved.
	Well, I don't know what is preserved after everything's been burned to the ground, but nevertheless, the reality, regardless of how this thing began, the reality is that it has incinerated more than a million acres.
	It's only 15% contained.
	It's now spread into Oklahoma, and more than 31,000 acres have been burned in that state.
	But it has a massive impact, whether you think it was a coincidence or a conspiracy, regardless of what happened with this.
	And isn't it interesting that we have all these...
	There's an explanation for every one of these things, isn't it?
	But why is it that we have so many food processing plants or food growing areas that are being destroyed all of a sudden?
	As... I pointed out last Friday, as one guy who was part of a cattle association, he was making a statement about how this is going to affect the food supply.
	And he is setting up a website for people to be able to connect with local providers for food.
	I think that's a very wise move to make, regardless of how this began.
	Because, again, this is another big blow to the supply chain.
	And we all need to, regardless of whether these things are inside jobs or whether it is just something that accidentally, organically, or some kind of a weather event breaks the supply chain, You know, it could be a president.
	We've already had two presidents who have put us into lockdown, and there are two choices coming up again.
	You think that'll happen again? Why not?
	They had no reason to do it the first time, did they?
	So, of course, they could easily do it again.
	The fires happened where 88% of Texas cattle feed.
	The U.S. is already down roughly a billion pounds of American beef.
	Another win for foreign imports.
	Another coincidence. But as he pointed out when he put up the video, he said, so what can you do about it?
	And we are not helpless.
	Again, if we can find local farms and support them by making sure they get the retail dollar, And then when you look at local restaurants fighting these minimum wage increases, since the beginning of the year, 22 states have upped minimum wage.
	And again, when we look at minimum wage, what does it really solve?
	It doesn't really solve anything.
	It's another mandate from government to try to centrally plan the economy to fix wages and prices and things like that.
	Nixon did that.
	Nixon did so many things that made absolutely no sense from a conservative point of view, from a market point of view, from a constitutional point of view.
	But wage and price controls did not work then.
	They will never work.
	Instead, what it does is it creates all kinds of issues.
	The businesses then have to adjust what they're doing, and they have to be able to either raise the price of their goods or services, or they go out of business.
	It's just that simple.
	Businesses, especially small Main Street businesses, don't have that big a profit margin that they operate on.
	And so I think this is correct, especially at this time, to see this as another attack on Main Street businesses.
	You understand that as they move things offshore, it's become more and more difficult for anybody to begin their own business as an entrepreneur.
	Most of the things that are left to them are going to be service and retail sectors.
	The things that Trump said were not essential.
	The things that these minimum wages effects come for the most.
	Restaurants are trying to figure out how they're going to survive.
	And again, that is a big part of the middle class entrepreneurship opportunities, or restaurants.
	Customers aren't going to come visit if you're going to charge them $14, $15, $16 for a burger, said one.
	And again, 22 states raised the minimum wage for hourly workers.
	Around 59% of small business owners said that higher labor costs were the biggest source of inflation in January.
	Local restaurants also facing competition from a tight labor market because of the gig economy and also because of, you know, the stimulus checks and generous welfare that is out there.
	To retain and attract workers, one person runs a restaurant in Tulsa, Oklahoma, increased his labor costs by 16% in 2023.
	Despite the minimum wage staying the same in the state.
	We used to have a retail business.
	We never paid minimum wage.
	However, when the minimum wage would go up, we still had to raise our base accordingly.
	So either way, you're not just going to keep it there.
	If you want to pay people more than a minimum wage so that you can have a better choice of employees, then you have to increase whatever your wage base is throughout the company at that time anyway.
	So it is highly inflationary.
	And yet, what do we do about all of these things?
	When you look at preparation, I saw this article from Liberty Daily.
	Five things new preppers forget when getting ready for bad times ahead.
	And I think they forgot one.
	See if you can figure out what it is.
	Yes, they began with making sure that you have secured wealth.
	Well, that's important. And of course, gold, you know, davidknight.gold that Tony Orterman has set up for us, takes you to Wise Wolf Gold.
	That's very important that you secure and protect your wealth.
	It's one of the reasons why, and we'll talk about this when we get into money today, it's amazing what is happening to Bitcoin.
	And you look at this and it's like, wow, I guess I missed the boat on this.
	I certainly did miss the boat, but then again, maybe it's the Titanic.
	Because I've been on some Titanics before financially, let me tell you.
	I don't like volatility, so I want to secure my wealth.
	And I want to make sure that it is private, that it is physical, that it's right there.
	And, um, uh, so, uh, you know, when you, when you look at this, as a matter of fact, I want to thank, um, for the love of the road, uh, he sends me, uh, one of, uh, Tony's, um, uh, Wolfpack.
	And I wanted to show you this because I think this is really cool.
	This is one troy ounce of gold.
	One of these things, if you can see that with the light there.
	And, you know, that's a gold piece of paper.
	Of course, it's encased in plastic as well because it's something of a collectible.
	It's a gold bag from Nevada.
	But still, you know, it's something that you have in your hand.
	Cash is very important.
	And, you know, we don't know what's going to happen to paper money.
	We've seen Continentals.
	We've seen Confederate money.
	We even saw the federal greenbacks that Lincoln had.
	So money, number one.
	Then potable water, drinkable water.
	As a matter of fact, if you go to civildefensemanual.com, the two books that Jack Lawson has, I talked to him last week, he's got a free chapter on what you can do to make sure that you've still got water.
	That's very important.
	Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, he also talks about that.
	You might want to have some knowledge about how to do first aid.
	He's got some of that in Civil Defense Manual.
	You can find CivilDefenseManual.com.
	You can get the chapter on water there for free.
	Energy sources, things that are off the grid.
	Just stop and think about it.
	How important it is for them to always control everything.
	They want to eliminate private cars because they want us on their transportation grid.
	They want us to use their buses, their subways, their whatever.
	And they don't want you to have independent travel.
	And we can see why when we look back at 2020.
	That was the escape route that everybody had.
	Otherwise, if they had control of all the transportation, we really would have been totally locked down.
	They weren't letting people fly.
	And they were running this stuff on the bus lines and the train lines that were either controlled, the things that were controlled by the government or the things that were big corporations beholden to the government that they could essentially put out of business very easily.
	It was only the private cars.
	And in the same way, they want to make sure that they've got you on the power grid.
	It is a control grid.
	That's one of the reasons why they have pushed this EV battery thing so heavily.
	Because they don't want you having something that is independent of their control.
	Everything they do is about control.
	Everything they do is about centralized control.
	So again, having your own energy sources.
	And then, of course, food.
	So just to recap, money, water, medicine, first aid, ability to use it.
	Energy, food, what are they missing?
	Ammunition. You need to be able to protect yourself and other people.
	It's just that simple.
	I'm surprised that they didn't put that in there, but I thought that was interesting.
	And then again, another story about states beginning to awaken to the power that they have still retained.
	And it's kind of funny to look at this when it's talked about reason.
	They don't quite go to the heart of the issue.
	Utah has now just signed a new bill, and the headline from Reason says, Utah tells the feds to pound sand.
	They've joined a growing wave of defiance aimed at Washington, D.C., They said the move is less dramatic than the theater that is playing out in Texas.
	They don't call it theater.
	They say it's a confrontation. It's not a confrontation.
	It's pure theater, what is being done at Eagle Pass.
	Texas is such a small part of even the Texas border, and it's just nothing but theater there.
	But this is, you know, that is dramatic.
	you got the drama queen Greg Abbott, that is the star of that show. But what this is about is something different. This is about non-commandeering, and this is something that has happened with a lot of different states. And by the way, it is something that the Supreme Court has upheld, this principle as well. They don't even, in this article, however, talk about nullification, and they don't talk about the Tenth Amendment. And of course, the Tenth Amendment is the
	foundation for both non-commandeering as well as for nullification.
	It said, balancing power between state and federal sovereignty is an essential part of our constitutional system.
	This is what the governor in Utah said as he signed this.
	This legislation gives us another way to push back on federal overreach and maintain that balance.
	You see, that's the problem. Just that little sentence there.
	This legislation gives us.
	No, you're not giving yourself some new power by signing this declaration.
	You know, it's the same thing that we talk about when we talk about where do our rights come from.
	Well, they come from God. They don't come from government.
	They come from government. They're government-granted privileges.
	Well, if you're giving yourself this power, then where does that come from?
	You see, that power was always there.
	He should have said, instead of this legislation gives us another way to push back, it acknowledges powers that were retained by the states under the Constitution.
	That's what the non-commandeering is.
	We need to understand our rights or we're going to have them stolen from us.
	Or they're going to be infringed or chipped away or removed slice by slice.
	If we don't understand the foundation of our rights, whether it's the fact from individuals and human rights, the fact they come from God and are therefore inalienable, cannot be taken away by a government because the government didn't give them to us.
	Or if you look at the states and the people, the fact that they did not surrender all power to the federal government.
	They created the federal government.
	And they reserved everything that was not explicitly surrendered to the federal government.
	The law says the legislature may, by concurrent resolution, prohibit a government officer from enforcing or assisting in the enforcement of a federal directive within the state if the legislature determines the federal directive violates the principles of state sovereignty.
	Again, non-commandeering.
	And then you can add other things to make it more specific, as they did in Tennessee, to shut down the executive order for gun control of pistol braces.
	That was done by Donald Trump in 2019.
	He tried to push this thing through, but unlike the bump stock, he got opposition from the NRA, from gun owners at large.
	Gun owners of America had opposed it, but NRA did not, and many others didn't want to have that fight.
	So they let him establish that precedent of gun control by executive order.
	He did it again with a pistol brace.
	And then, because he wanted everybody to close ranks behind him, I guess, after the election, he quietly pulled it back.
	And then Biden pushed it forward.
	And yet, here in Tennessee, at the state level, they stopped it.
	They said they passed some legislation saying if something is specifically legal in Tennessee, the federal government can't prohibit it.
	And we're not going to help them to enforce it.
	We're going to protect the people that are here, whatever.
	But that was still, and then they made the pistol brace legal.
	So there's things that you can do at the state level.
	Utah is beginning to do that with this.
	And there are many things that still remain to be done.
	This sends a message that the Utah legislature is unhappy with the federal government, said a professor at a law college.
	But then he said, and it's expressing it in a way that is constitutionally problematic.
	Because he said the Constitution has a supremacy clause which says federal law shall be the supreme law of the land. Okay, well fine. Yeah, it does. But that doesn't, it's not relevant here. Because they have, according to the Tenth Amendment, which if you believe that that's what the supremacy clause was saying, the Tenth Amendment would supersede and change that.
	And so the Tenth Amendment says that unless you've got specific powers that have been delegated to you specifically about this particular issue, you don't have the ability to write any laws.
	In other words, they don't have any jurisdiction over things that are not included in the Tenth Amendment.
	Any discussion of this stuff without the Tenth Amendment is really incomplete.
	And so this Reason article misses a great deal of that.
	It looks back at Supreme Court precedents with all of this.
	That's nice, but our rights don't come from the Supreme Court, do they?
	Do they really? That's what the liberals want to believe.
	They believe they got a right to an abortion with Roe v.
	Wade, and somebody took that right away from them.
	Well, they never had a right to an abortion.
	You had people bowing to a Supreme Court decision, but they didn't have the right to that.
	So, anyway, he says, and that settles the matter, the supremacy clause.
	Reason says, rightfully so, except that it doesn't.
	They said under Prince and New York versus United States, it's well established that the federal government cannot force state officials to implement federal laws.
	And then in 1992, you had Sandra Day O'Connor.
	Writing for the majority in New York versus United States, the federal government may not compel the states to enact or administer a federal regulatory program.
	That's pretty clear. And they now call that the anti-commandeering doctrine.
	But then, of course, you also have nullification and anti-commandeering.
	And again, I mentioned marijuana.
	Regardless of what you think about these individual issues, You've had more than half the states nullify that part of the war on drugs, which they now say they don't need to have a constitutional amendment like they did with alcohol, the 18th Amendment.
	No, no, no. We can do that with the Commerce Clause.
	No, you can't, because you don't have any authority to do anything in that area, commerce or otherwise.
	Commerce was the Commerce Clause that was set up to stop restrictions of trade.
	And you notice how our government uses it to restrict trade.
	Going back to the FDR. Oh, no, you can't grow whether I forget if it's corn or wheat.
	You can't grow that for your own use.
	You're not selling it.
	You're certainly not selling it across state lines, but you can't grow it for your own use because we've got this Commerce Clause here.
	The Commerce Clause was not put there.
	To allow the federal government to restrict commerce.
	It was to stop the states from restricting commerce.
	So you didn't want to...
	They were stopping restriction of commerce.
	But now the federal government, as it always does, turns the Constitution upside down, inside out.
	And completely subverts the meaning and perverts the meaning.
	So, this is a quote from Greg Abbott, which is kind of interesting when you see Greg Abbott saying the same thing that Russell Means said a few decades ago.
	The leader of the American Indian movement, Russell Means, he wrote a book called Where White Men Fear to Tread, And he said, the Constitution is your treaty with the federal government.
	He said, they've broken every treaty they've ever made with the Indians.
	And white man, this is your treaty with the American government.
	What are you going to do about it? Greg Abbott says the federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the states.
	So what are you going to do about it?
	They broke the treaty. That's right.
	They broke the treaty. Just 16% of Americans say they trust the federal government.
	Americans have the most faith in local government.
	67% have faith in local government.
	And they have the least faith in the legislative branch of the federal government or Congress at 32%, said Gallup, and state governments fall somewhere between the two.
	So the bottom line is that people instinctively understand that all politics is local.
	They understand instinctively what Musk and Soros understand and are working on.
	They say, you know, we can change society the best if we do it locally.
	How do we do that? Well, the federal government does that by setting up these unconstitutional institutions like the Department of Education, where they can bribe, blackmail, and cajole people with their unlimited amounts of printed money to do exactly what they want.
	And we see that with the DEI and the grooming of kids and all the rest of this stuff, as well as the curriculum, the critical race theory, all of this stuff.
	That's what that is there for.
	They understand that all politics is local.
	And that's why it is so frustrating when I talk to people about 2020.
	Oh, it wasn't Trump.
	It was the governors.
	And it was the Democrat governors.
	It's like, you really need to understand how the federal government gets around the Tenth Amendment, the non-commandeering, the nullification process.
	First of all, it lies to people about what the Constitution is.
	It lies to people about what powers have been retained by the people and by the states.
	And then it proceeds to blackmail or to bribe.
	That's how the federal government works.
	It works that way under Trump, just like it works that way under Biden.
	So, when you look at what is happening with California, they've got this massive welfare magnet to pull people across.
	Come here, it's the land of opportunity.
	So there's really kind of a new California gold rush, except there's not any gold, it's just fiat currency that is there.
	And now this welfare magnet just continues to get bigger.
	Every month, there's some new proposal to give foreign citizens, illegal foreign citizens.
	I think that's the way we had to refer to it.
	Instead of saying illegal aliens, you call somebody an alien that's like, oh, you know.
	It's a term that simply means that you're a citizen of a foreign country.
	And you're here illegally, without permission, against the law, breaking the law.
	We call somebody an alien that's kind of almost like a pejorative term.
	So just call them a foreign citizen.
	But they want foreign citizens to come here and get free stuff.
	And they're coming for free stuff, not for freedom.
	And so every month they ramp it up.
	Here's the latest one. California Dreamin', right?
	California. California Dream for All.
	Dream for All. And so, as they pointed this, this is BizPack Review.
	They said, the swarm of military-age migrants illegally crossing into the Golden State from Mexico are sure thrilled with Assembly Bill 1840.
	It would grant the lawbreakers interest-free state loans to buy their first homes.
	Even as thousands of homeless Americans blanket California's streets with tents.
	Or the better-off ones will live in campers along the road.
	But we're going to set up illegal aliens who are coming here, most of them, without a family.
	We're going to let them, you know, have a home.
	Isn't that interesting? You know, that was the big thing after World War II. Let's get people a stake.
	Let's work out a way that middle-class America can have a home.
	They can live in the suburbs or whatever because that's what everybody wanted to do.
	They wanted to get out of the compact cities.
	Now what does the government want to do?
	It wants to make sure that you don't have a suburban home.
	It wants to get rid of all local zoning and control it from the federal government.
	It wants to pack everybody back into the cities, and even worse, into smaller apartments than people trying to escape in mid-20th century.
	Get into a 200-square-foot apartment.
	And then they want to make sure, though, that when foreign citizens come here illegally, they get all of those things that they used to want to give to American citizens.
	It's pretty clear who they like and who they dislike, isn't it?
	They really, the governments, California, the federal government, the Democrat states especially, even some of the Republican states, really hate Americans, don't they?
	They despise us.
	Better figure that out.
	Government is not your friend.
	And they want to do everything they can for anybody but us.
	And they want to give us nothing but the boot.
	The California Dream for All, launched last March by the California Housing Finance Agency, offered qualified first-time homebuyers with a loan up to 20% of the purchase price of a house or condominium.
	The loans did not accrue interest or require monthly payments.
	Instead, when the mortgage is refinanced or the house is sold again, the borrower pays back the original amount of the loan, plus 20% of the increase of the home's value.
	And so people are looking at this and saying, well, wait a minute.
	This new one put out by Joachim Arambula, this new bill, Removes any ambiguity that this doesn't apply to foreign citizens here illegally.
	He says, as a matter of fact, this is done to address that ambiguity for people he calls undocumented individuals.
	No, they are foreign citizens here illegally.
	The revised bill now stipulates that the California Dream for All...
	Shall not be disqualified solely based on the applicant's immigration status.
	Now, you know, I've said from the very beginning, if you're going to have open immigration, and people who come here as foreign citizens are going to be able to have all the services that, you know, you give them in-state tuition to any state that they want to go to, which Americans don't have.
	It has to be the state that you've lived in for some time.
	And they can get a free education.
	We'll build schools for them.
	Saw this happening in Texas when I was there.
	Massive number of schools being built.
	Very, very high property taxes in Texas as well.
	You're not going to be able to afford a home or even really an apartment of any size because the taxes are built into the price of your apartment.
	You just don't see it itemized.
	But they're going to take away the American dream of having a home.
	Because we got dreamers who are coming in and they need a free education.
	And we're going to have to educate the world because there's no...
	When they say dream for all, they mean anyone from any country that comes here.
	And of course, we're paying to bring them in through the UN. So we're going to take a quick break and we're going to be coming back.
	Brian and Deb McCartney. Thank you.
	They're already charging $15 for a burger in many places.
	Yeah, that's right. That's right.
	As a matter of fact, we went to get a hamburger just yesterday.
	I told Karen, I said, I can just see the look on my dad's face if they gave him the price.
	It's just one of these drive-thru places.
	Nothing fancy. I could just see the look on my dad's face if they quoted those prices to him.
	Okay, that'll be X number of dollars, right?
	He was always about that.
	Because I was there when we went through that massive wave of inflation in the 70s, and he was somebody who grew up in the Depression.
	And so I heard, well, when I was young, we only paid this much for a loaf of bread.
	We'll be right back.
	Hear news now at APSradionews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story.
	never miss another story!
	The End
	back. And as we're talking about prices of things, we've got something new.
	We've got some new merchandise at the David Knight Show.
	I really like the way this came out.
	Let me see if I can get this over here.
	You can see the picture.
	Let me show you a better picture of it.
	It looks like this, but here's the real thing.
	It's a hoodie, and it's only a little bit more than the price of a couple of hamburgers at some places.
	So there you go.
	It'll last a lot longer than any of those hamburgers that you're going to get.
	So you can find that new hoodie, the microphone hoodie, we call it, at the website.
	You'll see that there. 8-ounce cotton polyester.
	And it's, you know, hoodies.
	People wear those year-round.
	But especially right now, just ask somebody in the Tahoe area.
	They've just got 10 feet of snow.
	So it's a long time before we get to summer for some people.
	But it's like 110-mile-an-hour winds and 10 feet of snow.
	What do you call that?
	If it was Florida, we'd call it a hurricane, but we didn't have snow with our hurricanes, so I don't know what that was called.
	But anyway, that is at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You can also find where the show is, both the video and the audio.
	You'll have links to that.
	We have several different places that we put it up on video.
	You will not find us in the usual places.
	That's been shut down to us.
	You won't find us at YouTube.
	You won't find us at Spotify. But we are on iTunes and other places.
	And so, as a matter of fact, while we're talking about that, there is a big fight that has been going on for quite some time between Spotify and Apple.
	And now in the EU, European regulators have tipped the scale toward Spotify there and given a $2 billion fine to Apple.
	They saw their stock drop, perhaps based on that, perhaps based on other things, as much as 3%.
	So they actually lost $80 billion in market cap, in addition to the $2 billion fine.
	But this article from Business Insider says, well, if you're looking as to why it would drop that much, it isn't necessarily just this, but the fact that there hasn't been some new product Like the iPhone.
	You know, this Apple Vision Pro Doesn't seem to be the thing that's going to be there, that's going to be, that Tim Cook was hoping it'll be, because Tim Cook is just a caretaker.
	He's not an entrepreneur.
	He's not an innovator like Steve Jobs.
	You know, he's just kind of a bean counter.
	They have been taking basic designs and incrementing them, using essentially the innovation of hardware suppliers, but they haven't really come up with any new products.
	This vision Pro thing was supposed to be that, but it really didn't go over that well, as we pointed out.
	A couple days after they introduced this very expensive VR, and actually it's kind of an augmented reality headset, there were all of these...
	A trending search term.
	How do I return my Apple Vision Pro?
	So, it remains to be seen what's going to happen with that.
	In 2023, Apple reported that its yearly sales had declined by 3%.
	Doesn't look like this thing is going to help them much.
	In terms of declining institutions, probably the GOP is way ahead of even Apple in that regard.
	As Mitch McConnell is leaving, and they have the slate of leadership that...
	They're looking to replace him.
	It doesn't look like they've got much of a bench.
	Or I should say, the bench looks like the other team.
	It's supposed to look.
	Cornyn, out of Texas.
	Gun Owners of America is coming after him directly, criticizing his long record of gun control.
	Remember, I won't play it again right now.
	I've played several times the Trump bump video.
	Where he got everybody together.
	He had Chuckie Schumer there.
	He had Dianne Feinstein sitting on his left hand.
	And then he had John Cornyn from Texas on his right hand.
	And John Cornyn has been very much very supportive and right at the center of all these gun control issues, just like Dianne Feinstein has been for a very long time.
	After his role in ramming through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, Cornyn should be figuring his days and Republican leadership are numbered.
	It's not that the law was massive win for anti-gunners, the one that they wanted, but it is bad.
	It's not quite to that extreme.
	However, he capitulated on this.
	And even though they didn't get everything that they want, they're going to come back for more.
	And just like what Trump was doing with his little meeting around the table, what kind of a negotiation is it when you offer stuff to the other guys, But you don't get anything in return.
	And that's what they're saying about John Cornyn.
	Time and again, he's done exactly what Trump was doing in that meeting.
	You negotiate with these other people, but you get nothing in return.
	That is not a compromise, even.
	That's simply surrender.
	And I'm not one who, and neither is Gun Owners of America.
	You know, NRA will compromise your rights, but Gun Owners of America has really understood what these things are about.
	When they talked about the bump stock, they opposed it.
	They sued to stop it and all that.
	But when it's all giveaway and you get nothing back, you know, it's all pain and no gain.
	And all you do is minimize what they take.
	You're dealing from a position of weakness and you are not compromising even.
	You are just surrendering. They're right about that.
	Gun Owners of America said Cornyn is not a conservative pro-gun leader.
	They went through a lot of his history, even going back to 2007-2008.
	He wasn't standing up to object to gun control with the Veterans Disarmament Act.
	That's what they called it.
	It was labeled by the government as the NIC's Improvement Amendment.
	But it was to surrender people's Second Amendment rights.
	So, you know, when you look at the future of the Republican Party, once they get Mitch McConnell out, and this guy has betrayed us on everything.
	He's betrayed us on war. He's betrayed us on the Paris Climate Accord.
	And all of these senators have, quite frankly.
	Now, if we wanted to go through this, there's not a single senator there, including the ones that you would think might have done something about it.
	Rand Paul or Mike Lee or Ted Cruz, these people who present themselves as constitutional, as conservatives, they never called for a vote on the Paris Climate Treaty.
	They can call it an accord.
	They can call it an agreement.
	They can call it whatever they want.
	It's a treaty. It's a treaty.
	You know, NAFTA was a treaty.
	They called it a North American Free Trade Agreement.
	But it was a treaty.
	And if you look at the people who are offering their services for NAFTA disputes, they say we're treaty lawyers.
	Everybody knows it's a treaty.
	They use this different language so that it doesn't trigger in anybody's mind the fact that you can't ratify this with John Kerry and Obama and that Trump can't keep it in place either.
	It needed to be ratified, and so Mitch McConnell should have done that, but all of these senators should have.
	So don't expect much help from Washington.
	Again, understand Washington is not your friend.
	Washington is not going to be reformed.
	The opportunity to reform Washington disappeared a long, long, long, long time ago.
	Long time ago. Not in this century even.
	Not even close to this century did we have an opportunity to reform Washington.
	That has disappeared a long time ago.
	So now what we have to do is figure out how we're going to stop it at the state and local level.
	So as they're coming after the Second Amendment, and even the Republicans like Cornyn are coming after the Second Amendment, you've got Biden, and of course the Republicans come after the First Amendment as well.
	Biden is coming after the First Amendment.
	He's always been in opposition to all of the Bill of Rights.
	Biden was always in opposition to natural rights, all of them.
	So Biden is going to court.
	Demanding warrantless surveillance powers.
	Reclaim the Net has a story, a request by the Biden administration to courts for renewal of contentious warrantless surveillance powers.
	I guess we could say, you know, First Amendment censorship, we've got gun control, now we've got the Fourth Amendment, warrantless searches.
	Ron Wyden.
	Interesting. You know, Ron Wyden is so hardcore left, and yet he has staked his position against warrantless searches.
	And it really is pretty interesting to see that.
	You know, he's been good on that issue, on that single issue, that one little thing, you know.
	Everything else, forget about it.
	But on that one little thing, Ron Wyden has always been kind of a thorn in the side to the intelligence community.
	Here's the one who asked Clapper, so are you spying on American citizens without a warrant?
	Senator, not intentionally.
	Mistakes were made. We didn't mean to do it.
	And so Ron Wyden is proposing the extension of FISA Section 702, the Department of Justice, so-called Justice, Wants to extend this for a year without congressional consideration.
	He said this manifests a disregard for reforms aimed at safeguarding American rights.
	So Wyden said he's very dissatisfied with what the Biden administration is doing, and the Justice Department is utterly ridiculous that the Biden administration and the Justice Department would rather risk the long-term future of an important surveillance authority, FISA, Than to support a single meaningful reform to protect Americans' rights.
	So, again, Section 702, they want to not extend that.
	That is supposed to, you know, it's something that they had to add to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
	It should tell you, shouldn't it?
	We go back and look at the history of this, the church committee hearings.
	What were they concerned about?
	The fact that from the very inception, the CIA and the NSA were spying on American citizens without any search warrants.
	That was what the church committee hearings were about.
	And then they made it into CIA heart attack guns and things like that to keep people from seeing the real thing.
	But what came out of those hearings was the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
	You're not allowed to surveil even foreign citizens in the United States unless you get a search warrant.
	You're only allowed, these spy agencies are only allowed to do their spying If it is a foreign citizen in a foreign country, you can't do it on an American citizen in a foreign country, and you can't do it on a foreign citizen in an American territory.
	But now they're using it to spy on Americans in America.
	And supposedly the 702 was supposed to fix that.
	But of course it didn't.
	And they want to remove all of that.
	And it's not just Biden. This stuff...
	Percolated through the Trump administration.
	They did nothing at all about it.
	As a matter of fact, the Trump administration was when CISA was created, during the Trump administration.
	And CISA is now collaborating with the Pennsylvania government and with the Department of Homeland Security to monitor online election-related speech.
	CISA is Trump-related, and all these people who are supporting Trump, talking about how the election...
	It has all these different corrupt aspects to it.
	They always ignore the things that Trump put in place that made the whole voting system a lot more corrupt, you know, like the vote-by-mail stuff or things like CISA being used for domestic surveillance.
	They tried for a very long time to push this through under Obama, and it kept getting stopped.
	They got it through under Trump.
	Isn't it interesting? Because, you know, when we got a Republican president, you wouldn't have a Republican president like George W. Bush put through something like the Patriot Act, right?
	You wouldn't have him do that. And you wouldn't have Trump put something through like CISA, would you?
	So Pennsylvania's Democrat governor.
	Josh Shapiro. They're launching an initiative in partnership of various state and federal agencies.
	They're going to partner with Homeland Security with CISA. The collaboration was revealed by the Federalist.
	They're pressing Pennsylvania State Department for more information about the new initiative.
	Al Schmidt, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, said the task force would focus on addressing lies and And baseless conspiracy theories aiming to delegitimize the electoral process.
	So we can add that to another one of the, you know, anything that they say is a lie.
	Anything they say is a conspiracy theory.
	And they've got a conspiracy to eliminate anything that they think is not true.
	They will be the arbiters of truth.
	They will be the ministry of truth.
	Just like in George Orwell, the Ministry of Truth shuts down any truth.
	They will decide what is true.
	And so we have this list. You can't say anything about climate or pandemic or vaccines or the election or religion and pronouns and all.
	We have this ever-growing list of things that the government has taken a position on, and you will not contradict them.
	Because if you do, you're labeled a conspiracy theorist and a liar.
	And they will use, they've got state governments collaborating with the apparatus in Washington.
	Homeland Security created by Bush.
	CISA created by Trump.
	Get over the idea that Republicans are there to defend your freedom, that you're going to fix Washington by electing Republicans or electing anybody.
	You've got to build barriers against those people.
	We will be right back.
	Hear news now at APS radio news.com or get the APS radio app and never miss another story story.
	This is a story about a man who was a soldier.
	He was a soldier.
	Thank you. Liberty.
	It's your move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	A couple of comments.
	Wild Niagara says, My father started at GM at $1.25 an hour.
	This is why I've never invested money based on the interest it would get.
	It's a losing proposition when you factor in inflation.
	Well, it's really a losing proposition when they don't pay you any interest.
	They charge people 7% or 8% interest and they pay you like one-tenth of a percent interest in your savings account.
	Or you look at the credit cards and they're charging what?
	You know, 20, 30, 40% interest depending on which one of the cards you get.
	I mean, it's just insane how rigged this game is.
	Somehow I just don't think that our forefathers would have stood for this.
	Why are we... Yeah, government is revolting, and so are the banking systems, as the saying goes.
	So why aren't you? It's so revolting.
	And then we had a couple of comments about the new hoodie.
	Thank you. Birdhouse Blue says, that's a sharp-looking hoodie.
	I really like the way this came out.
	I think the colors on it are really nice.
	I like these particular colors.
	Anyway, you can see it at the website.
	Yeah. And Brian and Deb McCartney.
	That's nice. Love hoodies.
	Well, I like that one a lot.
	Let's talk a little bit about Christian nationalism.
	And, of course, we had this off-the-wall Politico reporter out there making these ridiculous statements that if you think that your rights don't come from government, that they come from God, then you are a Christian nationalist.
	And so we got all these people out there saying, well, we're all Christian nationalists now.
	I think that's a very foolish thing to adopt these labels.
	Now, I don't know who first used the term Christian nationalist.
	I don't know if it was Rob Reiner or people of that ilk.
	You know, he's got his little documentary that's just dropped.
	He's not the first one to use it, obviously.
	But I don't know if it was a left or if it was somebody like Michael Flynn who started talking about this kind of stuff, which, I don't know.
	I don't know. Is Satan left or right?
	Yeah. He's praying to Satan.
	He's got his prayers to Satan that he's having the people at his reawakening tours repeat after me, this prayer to Satan.
	But anyway, I don't know who came up with this idea, this label of Christian nationalism, but I reject it, as do most of the people that it's thrown out now, used by as mainstream media, it's used as a pejorative term.
	And yet, not really defined.
	You know, you had Heidi, who works for Politico, tried to define it as somebody who believes that their rights come from God.
	Well, everybody, she's had to apologize for that.
	Not so much because she offended Christians, but probably because mainstream media said, that's really stupid.
	You've got to pull that back.
	That's too good of a definition. Everybody's going to want to sign on to that.
	But I don't like to use their labels, just like I don't like to use red.
	I'm not a red state person.
	Because red is the color of communism.
	And they understood that. That's why they picked it.
	And they are using this term, Christian nationalism, and throwing it about because they understand that it is tied up with people like Michael Flynn.
	It is tied up with the QAnon movement.
	It's tied up with Trump.
	It's tied up with the kinds of people that were pushing, you know, with a wink.
	Let's have a civil war.
	Wink, wink. You know, and the crowd there is eating it up.
	People like Bannon and Jack Basovian, people like that.
	They're the ones who are pushing Christian nationalism.
	And then you've also got some Christian pastors who are out there with a prosperity gospel type of thing.
	And for the longest time, the left has done this.
	The left has had, they have reorganized their churches to help people with welfare and social causes and that type of thing.
	That's been around for a very long time.
	We forget in the early 20th century, you had, I guess you'd call the people conservatives.
	You know, they were rallying in the temperance movement against alcohol use and all that kind of stuff, and that became their life.
	And we had a lot of people who were reluctant to get into...
	Speaking against abortion policies because they didn't want that to be perceived as that is the ultimate work of the church.
	And they said that we have more important things to do.
	And so there's a strain of all these different things that are out there right now.
	After igniting a firestorm of controversy, political reporter Heidi, and I won't try to pronounce her, I guess it's like Prisbla, I don't know, has apologized.
	For saying Christians who believe in God-given rights are Christian nationalists.
	In a piece on Politico, she addressed comments that she made earlier last week with Chris Hayes.
	She said on the cable news program that Christian nationalists, quote, believe that our rights as Americans, as all human beings, don't come from any earthly authority.
	And she was taken to task for that absurdity.
	She also identified the concept of natural law as, quote, a pillar of Catholicism.
	And then when she responded to the backlash, this is what she had to say.
	She didn't really issue an apology, of course.
	She said, due to some clumsy words.
	I was interpreted by some people as making arguments that are quite different from what I believe.
	Those were pretty clear.
	If you believe your rights don't come from government, they come from God, then you're a Christian nationalist.
	What was clumsy about that?
	I thought it was very precise.
	Totally wrong, but very precise.
	She said, reporters have responsibility to use words and convey meaning with precision.
	I'm sorry, I fell short of this in my appearance.
	No, you use them with a great deal of precision.
	It's just that you are totally wrong and you won't admit it now.
	That's one thing that a reporter ought to do is issue a retraction when you're wrong.
	She stressed, many people have views about our rights as Americans that would coincide with those of many of our nation's founders.
	She noted the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence, that all people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
	And so, one bishop, Robert Barron, out of Minnesota, Said it is exceptionally dangerous when we forget the principle that our rights come from God and not from government.
	Because the basic problem is if they come from the government or Congress or the Supreme Court, they can be taken away by those same people.
	And this is the door to totalitarianism.
	Just a week before her remarks on MSNBC, of course, you had Rob Reiner dropping his documentary that nobody bothered to go see.
	So this is a narrative that they're building about Christian nationalism.
	It's part of their agenda.
	And so the question is then, What is the agenda?
	And so Ben Dunson, in replying to all this, talking about divine rights, and as I said, many people have said, oh, okay, so we're all Christian nationalists now, if you're going to define it that way, because of the Declaration of Independence and the founding principles of this country.
	He puts in a couple of quotes from Thomas West, the political theory of America's founding.
	He said, 1765 Massachusetts Assembly, And there are resolutions on the Stamp Act.
	They said, there are certain essential rights of the British Constitution of Government which are founded in the law of God and nature and are the common rights of mankind.
	Alexander Hamilton said, there is a supreme intelligence who rules the world and has established laws to regulate the actions of its creatures.
	This is what's called the law of nature or natural law.
	Upon this law depend the natural rights of mankind.
	James Wilson. Properly speaking, there is only one general source of superiority and obligation.
	God is our creator. In him we live, we move, and we have our being.
	He's quoting the Bible here.
	Is that allowed? He, as master of his own work, can prescribe to it whatever rules to him seem meet, seem fitting.
	And this is the true source of all authority.
	Even John Locke.
	Argued similarly when he grounded the right to revolution against tyrants in his second treatise on government, he rooted it in the, quote, common refuge which God has provided for all men against force and violence.
	But see, this all misses the point.
	The real point of this narrative, and why they keep using this term, using it as a pejorative, Christian nationalism, It's because they want to shut the mouth of Christians.
	They want to purge, as you've got even an organization that goes around suing people, the Freedom From Religion organization.
	They want to purge that part of the First Amendment.
	They want to put Christians in the closet.
	They want to put masks on our faces and gags in our mouths and that type of thing.
	But this article from American Reformer, Talks about the Irish Civil War, the early 20th century.
	He said there were two factions that were seeking independence from England.
	And one of the key antagonists, Arthur Griffith, recognized that his chief opponent, Dave Valera, was attempting to wholly circumvent parliamentary procedure and force through a foundational constitutional change with wording that would mask his real intent.
	And so Griffith confronted him in a legislative debate.
	And De Valero responded, and he says, well, I'm going to choose my own procedure.
	And Griffith was outraged.
	He rose to the feet, said in a formal, even tone, well, I submit it is not in the competence of the president to choose his own procedure.
	This is a response we ought to have to these people putting in executive orders, whether it's Trump or Biden.
	He says this is either a constitutional body or it is not.
	If it is an autocracy, let you say so.
	And then we will leave it.
	That should have been our response to Trump's executive order.
	It should have been our response to Biden's executive orders.
	And they both piggybacked and interchanged these executive orders one after the other.
	So Heidi's insistence that We must reject the notion that our rights come from God.
	It should be met with the same response as Griffith to De Valera.
	America is either a republic with rights derived from God or it is not.
	If it is an autocracy, then say so, and we will leave it.
	Well, we can't leave it, and I think secession is not the right way to go.
	I think the way that we handle this is with nullification.
	With non-commandeering, with building up the strength of local communities, because quite frankly, right now, secession would be a disaster.
	There is no organization or cohesiveness or society at the local and state level that could withstand against this juggernaut in Washington.
	But we must stand against their dictates.
	It has become a dictatorship.
	They don't even bother to pretend that they...
	And that's even more troubling than what Heidi says.
	The very fact, as I pointed out before.
	They don't care about the First Amendment, Second Amendment.
	They don't care about the Fourth Amendment.
	They don't care about any of the amendments.
	They just are going to do whatever they would like to do.
	And so I think it's important for us to get this right.
	And so the reason I brought this back up again is because I see John MacArthur has denounced Christian nationalism as a faulty viewpoint linked to post-millennialism.
	As I said, I don't like the label because it means different things to different people.
	The way the left uses it, they use it as a pejorative to try to shut the mouth of Christians and keep us from participating in the public sphere.
	The way it's used by some people who are choosing that label for themselves is as some kind of, you know, holy war type of thing that people like Michael Flynn and others.
	But I think it's a big mistake to see this as some kind of a doctrinal shift.
	And I think, you know, MacArthur has, this is not his wheelhouse.
	He doesn't pay much attention to current events and politics.
	And if you think that he does, you didn't notice what was happening in 2020.
	It took a very long time for them to figure out what was going on.
	And then when he did figure out what was going on, he decided not to do anything about it for a couple of months.
	And then finally, when he did something about it, he got opposed by people like Al Mohler, who was president of the Southeastern Theological Institute or whatever.
	Big and Southern Baptist, Al Mohler is.
	And so he said, he accused him of a lot of different things.
	Came after MacArthur very strongly when they decided, all right, we had enough of this, we're going to open up.
	I mean, first of all, they believed it.
	And I understand a lot of people got fooled by that.
	And that's no shame.
	You know, a lot of people got deceived into doing a lot of harmful things.
	But then there was a point in the middle of the summer where they realized that it was a sham.
	But then they believed that they had to do whatever the government told them to do.
	Even if it came to the point of putting pinwheels on your head, as Todd Friel made the statement.
	And that's wrong. That's absolutely wrong.
	And I always said that. You know, these people who took that kind of a passive view of the relationship between the church and the state saw the church subordinate and the state in a way that was just not true.
	And I always said, these people said, you've got to do everything the government says unless they infringe on your religious prerogative, your religious freedoms and that type of thing.
	And I said, when push comes to shove, you watch.
	They tell these churches to shut down, they'll shut down.
	That's exactly what they did in 2020.
	These churches say, we've got to do what the government says.
	Romans 13 says we've got to do what the government says.
	They shut down. Anyway, they realized it was a fraud.
	They still stayed shut down.
	And then it got to the point that they decided that they were not going to stay shut down forever.
	But there were still a lot of people who attacked him for doing that.
	And he had the guts to stand up to them and to do what was the right thing.
	And look, that's what the Christian life is about.
	It's not about always being right.
	It certainly isn't right about being right from the very beginning.
	It's about when we see what the right thing is, we do that.
	And even if we did the wrong thing, even if we knowingly did the wrong thing, there's forgiveness for that.
	Like I said, this is not what he really focuses on that much.
	And he doesn't realize, I think, that Christian nationalism is not coming from post-millennialism.
	And I don't have any axe to grind here with eschatology.
	And again, for those people who don't know what we're talking about with any of this stuff...
	You got people who believe that there's going to be, well, first of all, throughout Christian history, you've had two groups of people, those who were amillennials who said there wasn't going to be a millennium, that Christ was not going to come back and rule for a thousand years, and those who believed that he would.
	And then those who believed that he would then further split And to those who believe that he would come back, that there would be a, you know, literally hell on earth before he came back.
	And then those who believe that everything was going to get better and better and he's going to come back at the very end.
	Those would be the post-millennials.
	So that everything is going to get better and better as the church spread around.
	And that was a majority viewpoint.
	Back in the 1900s, as European nations were turning Christian, and then they sent out these missionary societies.
	But then they began focusing on kind of the left-wing approach to things, you know, kind of like Charles Dickens.
	You know, we've got all these problems in society from the Industrial Revolution, and this is the proper work of the church.
	Well, yes, it is, but that's not the only thing the church is set up to do.
	And so you gotta always try to keep things in proper balance.
	It isn't one thing or the other.
	But anyway, it became about that.
	And so most of the people were looking at it, everything is getting better and better in every way.
	And so they kind of bought into post-millennialism because they were reading the times they lived in back into the Bible.
	And then now, because everything is getting much worse, people are kind of reading the times maybe back into the Bible.
	You know, we talk about things like the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast and stuff like that.
	It's like, yeah, that looks like it's that type of thing.
	You know, we're going to have some kind of global government that's going to be killing all Christians and a lot of other people as well.
	And then Christ returns.
	And then they're split into three different things.
	So you have all these different approaches to understanding what the Bible is saying in very difficult language to understand.
	And it's one of the reasons why I'm not dogmatic about any of those, because I think that is difficult to understand.
	I think, on the other hand, because of kind of where I spend my time, I think it's very easy to understand what's behind this post-millennial, I mean, this This Christian nationalist thing.
	And I don't think it has anything to do with that.
	I think it really is.
	You know, on the one hand, you got people who are QAnon, Trumpists.
	And they're pushing this Christian nationalism.
	You know, let's go to war.
	Let's have a holy war and all this other kind of stuff.
	And then on the other side, you've got the people like Rob Reiner and Heidi who want to demonize anybody who has the audacity to speak up about their beliefs and won't use their pronouns.
	And that's what this is ultimately about.
	But again, you know, for those people who don't understand my disgust with Reawaken and with General Flynn, let me just give you this refresher course.
	Here's Flynn, and they have these Reawaken America tours in big churches, church buildings.
	And he has the people come in, and he recites this plagiarized prayer from Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who led this cult in the 1980s.
	And you'll see in this video, it cuts back and forth to her leading this prayer to Lucifer and Michael Flynn using the same language.
	We are your instrument of those sevenfold rays and all your archangels.
	All of them. And I am the instrument of those sevenfold rays and archangels.
	And I will not retreat.
	I will take my stand.
	We will not retreat.
	We will stand our ground.
	I will not fear to speak.
	We will not fear to speak.
	And I will be the instrument of God's will, whatever it is.
	We will be the instrument of your will, whatever it is.
	In the name of Archangel Michael and his legions, I am freeborn and I shall remain freeborn.
	In your name. In the name of your legions, we are freeborn, and we shall remain freeborn.
	And I shall not be enslaved by any foe within or without.
	And we shall not be enslaved by any foe within or without.
	So help me God.
	God bless you.
	God bless America. Thank you very much.
	Yeah, that's what...
	General Flynn recited theosophist Elizabeth Clare...
	She's a theosophist, she's a cult leader, and all the rest of this stuff.
	And so MacArthur needs to respond to that.
	You want some political heat.
	Take on the Trumpists and Michael Flynn.
	Michael Flynn is nothing but a mouthpiece for the CIA.
	Michael Flynn was pushing the transgender insanity.
	In 2014, he pushed it on Kristen Beck, who was really Chris Beck, the male who was dressing up as a woman at the time.
	And Michael Flynn was holding him up the second Pride month that the Pentagon had had.
	I mean, he's been pushing this stuff from the very beginning.
	And he's been regurgitating everything that the CIA wanted him to do.
	Pushing this QAnon stuff.
	He is a mouthpiece for the CIA. He is a mouthpiece for Satan.
	I know that's redundant. Because the CIA is a mouthpiece for Satan.
	But you need to walk away from this Trumpism, this QAnon stuff, and you need to understand that the way the left is using it is to intimidate Christians from being able to speak out.
	But what MacArthur said, he said, so the idea that you should link up some political effort, some political process, some social process, some gain of power or influence in a culture as part of the advance of Christianity is alien to Christianity.
	Well, he's right about that as well.
	That is not about Christianity, but what it is.
	It's about the life that we live as Christians.
	The life that we live to protect innocent people.
	Even the people who don't understand what's going on.
	So many people did not understand what was going on with the lockdowns.
	They didn't understand what was going on with the vaccines.
	They didn't understand what was happening with the church closures.
	They didn't understand what was happening with January the 6th.
	And when you see something, you've got to say something to these people.
	Or their blood is on your head.
	And there'll be a lot of people, even when you warn them about this, they'll just proceed right on.
	They'll walk right off the cliff.
	Saw that happening over and over again.
	But you've got to have some discernment about this stuff.
	And you've got to understand what the real agenda is here.
	He says, when he was talking about this, he wanted to clarify that he's not saying that Christians should be indifferent to what happens to the nation.
	Saying they ought to vote for righteous leaders whenever they have the opportunity.
	But he said that's becoming increasingly difficult.
	I absolutely agree with all of that.
	But he says the idea that somehow by influencing the culture we can bring the kingdom of Christ.
	In other words, it's the idea not that Christ returns and sets up his kingdom, but that the church establishes his kingdom and then hands it to him.
	He said that is not what scripture teaches.
	So he needs to focus on And talk to the right people.
	He needs to address Flynn.
	I think we all need to address Flynn.
	Whether he does or not, it doesn't really matter.
	I mean, this is not dependent on whether a well-known preacher addresses what the root cause is, or whether they address the people who are selling this idea.
	And I think this whole idea that this is coming...
	Michael Flynn is not post-millennial.
	He doesn't have any Christian theology.
	This guy is...
	And the people around Reawakened Tour, you know, Eric Trump and Julie Green, she's just a liar and a grifter and a false prophet.
	And they need to be exposed.
	And we need to not be intimidated to be silent.
	And we need to not set back either.
	The only thing that we have available to us, voting in a presidential election is not the only thing that is available to us.
	Yes, we need to get involved in this.
	We don't need to make it the central focus of our life.
	Just like you don't want to make money the central focus of your life.
	You don't want to love money.
	You don't want to worship money.
	You don't want to make it the ultimate thing.
	But you have to make money.
	And you have to support your family.
	And if you don't, that's wrong.
	And so, you know, for the same way that we are called to, we're not called out of this world, but we're called to remain in this world and to change it in a positive way.
	And to protect and to provide, this is all, whether you're talking about earning a living or you're talking about politics, it's the same thing.
	And I really don't like and appreciate the people who tell us to put pinwheels on our head.
	And it used to be Todd Friel who would hang out with John MacArthur doing this kind of stuff.
	I really reject that.
	And I think they need to get some more discernment about what is going on and about rightfully setting up the boundaries on people's lives.
	I think they've really missed that.
	You know, we have to understand that we live in a country.
	We were born into a country, I should say.
	We don't live in a country like this anymore.
	But we were born into a country where we were given powers to affect the way the government was.
	We had a say. They've taken that away.
	But it is there in the foundation of this country.
	When you have a power, you have responsibility to protect that power or to take back that rightful power.
	We have a lot of usurpers who have overthrown the legitimate power in government, which is the Constitution.
	They're there simply as temporary stewards.
	Think about the Lord of the Rings, you know, the stewards of Gondor and the rightful king.
	Well, the rightful king in this political sphere...
	It's a constitution. They all swear obedience to the constitution.
	That is their king.
	They're simply stewards and they're unfaithful stewards.
	And so the law is on our side.
	The king is on our side.
	And we need to not be shying away from this because you've got some fifth-rate Hollywood producer and a sixth-rate Politico reporter and other people of that ilk trying to intimidate us.
	And we shouldn't be paying attention or we need to correct these religious leaders out there telling us not to get involved in this.
	They might as well tell you, you know, just don't bother to get a job.
	You know, we're all going to be helicoptered out of here tomorrow.
	So just sit back and do nothing.
	And I don't think that's what he's saying.
	But I think that's the way a lot of people will understand this because he's not being very precise in what he wants to say.
	Rob Reiner's anti-Christian nationalist documentary, God and Country, implied that MacArthur is a Christian nationalist.
	See, that's the way they do. They throw this label at everybody.
	And that's one of the reasons why he's saying this, to try to distance himself from it.
	But he's not distancing himself from the people who are embracing it, like Michael Flynn.
	And I think it's very important for us as Christians to oppose this in the same way that it was important for us to, we should have opposed, and I don't know, I wasn't around at that time, but you know, if the Ku Klux Klan grabs the cross as their symbol, Christians need to stand up and say, no, you're not about that.
	That's not at all what you're doing.
	You're stealing that.
	And we need to say the same thing to Michael Flynn that we would say to the Ku Klux Klan.
	When he grabs, and I don't even think he grabs the cross, if he grabs a Bible or something, say, you know, get that out of your hand or change, because that's not what you're selling here.
	We need to call it out as a fraud, and we need to tell the rest of the country.
	He doesn't represent Christ.
	He doesn't represent me.
	He doesn't represent Christians.
	Michael Flynn and that reawakened tour and all those grifters, those Trumpsters, those MAGA, QAnon people, do not represent Christianity.
	They can't have that.
	And we've seen this time.
	It should be a fight all the time.
	You know, Ku Klux Klan did that with a cross.
	They did that with a Confederate flag, for example.
	That's a historical flag.
	And then you've got Nikki Haley jumping in on that.
	People should have said, you don't have anything to do with a Confederate flag.
	They should have shut that thing down.
	But they absolutely got to do it with the Christian stuff.
	And we've got to be careful about this kind of fatalism.
	You know, if we just say, well, you know, it's going to, we all lose.
	And he gets into that.
	He says, look, you know, he's a premillennialist.
	And he says, no, we're not going to win.
	We're not, you know, it's not like postmillennialism.
	He says, things are going to get worse and worse and worse, and the end of history is not the church triumphant reigning in the world and taking over the structures of human kingdoms.
	That's not what happened. We lose.
	We lose in this world. And I don't want to drown people in that kind of negativity.
	I think it is possible for us, no matter how bad life is, it's possible for us to live a triumphant life.
	I don't see this kind of hand-wringing, we lose, we lose, we lose, in the writings of the apostles who are being persecuted in Rome.
	And so I think that's an overreaction, regardless of what your eschatology is.
	So I reject that kind of negativity, that kind of passivity, and that kind of fatalism.
	And I think, you know, when you look at defending innocent life, it took a very long time for a lot of Protestants to say, we need to say something about abortion.
	It took a very long time for them because they were so, you know, I grew up in a conservative church and they were like, well, you know, these people over here have gotten so involved in social justice causes that in and of themselves are good.
	They completely walked away from Christ and Christianity and what Christ teaches and what his kingdom is about.
	And so they, by mixing politics and social causes, they've completely lost what the church is about and those established churches.
	And so they were very reluctant to get involved in stopping abortion.
	Finally, they figured out innocent life is being murdered, and we have an obligation to do something about it, even as human beings.
	You know, we've got that progressive Democrat who is doing everything that she can.
	She's not a Christian, but she's running for office, and she's running for office so she can show people pictures of what abortion truly is.
	It's an abomination. It's a stench in the sight of God, and God cares about that.
	He cares about that.
	Throughout the Bible, in the Old Testament, in the New Testament, he cares about people who murder and slaughter.
	That's an abomination to him.
	It ought to be an abomination to us as well.
	We ought to try to stop that.
	And I think the same thing is true when you talk about the lockdowns.
	And when you talk about the mass murder regime of Trump and Biden poisoning people around the globe, tens of millions of people, they're going to catch up to that abortion thing real quickly.
	They're killing people of every age.
	They're sterilizing people as well.
	We ought to care about that.
	We ought to oppose that.
	And isn't it interesting that the very same people like Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon and these phonies, their political phonies, their religious phonies, isn't it interesting that they're there in defense of that satanic program of mass murder?
	They defend what Trump did.
	And they refuse to hold him responsible for it.
	I think we need to oppose that.
	I think we need to oppose that with everything we have.
	And I always will.
	So, is Christianity going to become illegal?
	When you take a look at what is being done in Canada.
	By the way, one of the other things that John MacArthur said.
	He says, no Christian should ever talk about religious freedom.
	That's stupid. That's stupid talk.
	That's inaccurate talk.
	He says, well, you know, we understand that we don't want everybody free to worship.
	You know, we understand that Jesus is the only winner.
	That's not what we're talking about.
	And what we're talking about is the government.
	We're talking about religious freedom.
	We're saying that the government does not get a chance to say what is true.
	And the government should not be the one saying what is true when it comes to religion, just like they shouldn't be when it comes to vaccines or the climate or the pandemic or the election or anything else.
	That is hell on earth.
	And we should be pushing back against that as well.
	I just don't understand this kind of passivity, these kind of narrow blinders when they look at things like that.
	And no, you should care about religious freedom.
	You should care about the free exercise of religion.
	You really should. He's got that wrong as well.
	Looking at some of the things that he's saying, I don't know if he's trying to be provocative and he's going in the wrong direction with his stuff, but he needs to be a little bit more accurate with the way that he talks.
	I mean, he works very hard to try to be accurate when he analyzes the Bible and preaches.
	He looks at the Greek or the Hebrew or whatever.
	Well, he needs to look at his own words.
	And we say, I don't want to hear about religious freedom.
	Well, if you don't want to hear about religious freedom, what you're going to live under is religious tyranny.
	And you're going to live under every kind of tyranny in every aspect of your life.
	So is Christianity going to become illegal in Canada?
	So they want to essentially make it that way.
	It's a plan to criminalize Christianity with Bible reading and prayer.
	This began 16 years ago with some of the laws that were introduced there.
	Trudeau's World Economic Forum-controlled government is planning to outlaw Christianity with introduction to amendments to the criminal code that could see believers face jail time for expressing historic Christian teachings.
	Canada's Bill C-367 will make it illegal to reiterate parts of the Bible, stripping away the good-faith defense for what seemed by the state as hate speech or anti-Semitism.
	So they determine what is true.
	They determine what is hateful, what speech they hate, essentially.
	And this is the trend that we see everywhere.
	Now, when I was talking about Ireland, somebody said, well, Canada's bill is even worse.
	There has been some amendments to that, but I think that the fundamental part of what makes this Canadian bill bad is still there.
	I think they're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic in order to try to get people on board.
	Traditional Christian practices, such as celebrating Christmas or attending church service, will be considered to be crimes that carry severe penalties.
	Is that theoretical?
	Wasn't that already done during the pandemic, the so-called pandemic?
	Didn't they say celebrating Christmas?
	Oh, you had people like Scott Adams saying, these freedom lovers look to me like sociopaths.
	You're going to kill everybody out there, right?
	Scott Adams said that.
	Don't go to the church service.
	Don't go to Christmas NPR. The most dangerous thing you could do, they said, was to go to church.
	Most dangerous activity during this pandemic.
	And of course, there were severe penalties associated with that as well.
	I mean, they got like a nearly a million dollar fine at MacArthur's church.
	So these are not theoretical things.
	And we saw pastors arrested and jailed, many of them, and Canada.
	If passed, Bill C-367 could land Christians in jail for quoting the Bible or for expressing a faith-based opinion if the Canadian government deems it to be a promotion of hatred or anti-Semitism.
	As a matter of fact, we have that official who's in, I think it's in Finland where she is.
	She has now been found guilty, found innocent in two trials, but they keep appealing it.
	They're now at the Supreme Court of Finland.
	She was a very well-known figure, had been an elected representative in Parliament, had been a government minister several times.
	They're trying to put her in jail for her Christian beliefs, not allowed to speak about them.
	That's what we should be talking about as well.
	We don't want to make that the ultimate thing.
	Look, there's something that transcends that.
	Even if they outlaw Christianity, they're not going to stop it, just like they didn't In China, we don't have to fear that, but we don't have to accept it either.
	It doesn't have to become the key thing in our life, but we should never lay down and accept this.
	We should never live by these lies.
	Listen to Solzhenitsyn.
	Do not live by these lies.
	That's what totalitarianism is all about, totalitarianism.
	It's always about getting you to live by a lie, to get you to say 2 plus 2 equals 5.
	That's what the pronouns are about.
	It's not about... Saving somebody's feelings.
	This is a totalitarian mind game.
	Jedi mind tricks, if you will, right?
	The other side, I guess.
	Public incitement of hatred.
	It would be as defined in this bill as, quote, an opinion on a religious subject or belief in a religious text.
	That would be one of the things that they would come after.
	This is Joseph Boot, who is chief of the evangelical think tank called the Ezra Institute in Canada.
	He says, if ratified, Canada's anti-Christian legal apparatus created over the last decade will overtly persecute Christians with the force of criminal law.
	He warned heavy fines or jail time will be imposed on those participating in evangelism, preaching, counseling, statements in the workplace, on social media, and in books that condemn homosexuality or transgenderism on biblical grounds.
	And look, that's what 2020 was about.
	2020 was about getting people to understand they're not gonna move anywhere.
	We're gonna lock down your mobility.
	2020 was about getting people to understand they're going to, you know, be in the little 15-minute cities.
	They're going to be put on universal basic income.
	You got a taste of that with the stimulus checks.
	You will have no informed consent.
	We will feed you or inject you with whatever we wish because you're nothing but our cattle.
	And it was also about saying to people, we're not going to allow any religious freedom.
	We're not going to allow the free exercise of religion.
	And if you do that...
	And if you speak out about what you believe politically or religiously, we will put you in jail.
	We will debank you.
	We will put you in jail.
	We will hit you with fines.
	We need to push back against this stuff and not just accept it because of some eschatology that you've got.
	As I said before, you know...
	People who, and you know, when we talk about Israel, people say, oh well, you know, in my pre-millennial stuff, Israel is the center of everything.
	It's like, well, just take a look at it.
	Since when does your understanding, and there's a lot of different understandings about what's going on in Revelation, since when does your understanding about that trump a clear commandment about justice and about not committing murder and other things like that?
	We've got some things that are very clear, and you need to interpret these things that are not very clear in terms of what is very clear.
	And there are clear moral principles about war and the way a war is to be conducted.
	And we don't give anybody a pass on that.
	Not Israel, not Washington.
	Nobody gets a pass on that kind of war.
	Nobody. And there will be judgment for governments that do that type of thing.
	So there's some Christian nationalism for you.
	The bill, while still pending in Parliament, Canada is expected ultimately to pass.
	It first came up around 2008 when an official of the National Religious Broadcasters Association warned about Canada's hate crimes, laws that were targeting Christians.
	One person in a ministry that was in Canada at the time, but left Canada because of threats from this.
	So when a group such as Jehovah Witnesses say of our doctrine that we are worshiping a freakish, three-headed God, when we talk about the Trinity, we should be able to respond.
	We should say, well, here's what we're really talking about.
	Here's our doctrine of the Trinity, and here's where it is in the Scripture.
	But those opinions, she said, would be found in violation of Canada's hate crime laws.
	So, again, the government will be the ones who are deciding what can and cannot be said.
	They'll be the ones who are deciding what is true and what is not in every aspect of our life, and that needs to be fought on.
	Now, focus on the family.
	As I point out, one of the largest Christian publishing and broadcasting organizations in the nation was looking at this, and they've been editing their broadcasts that they send to Canada to avoid the hate crime censors.
	I'm adamantly opposed to that kind of capitulation.
	That's why I'm nowhere of any size.
	I absolutely refuse to capitulate to that kind of censorship.
	I refuse to play that kind of game.
	They said, in particular, our content producers are careful not to make generalized statements nor comments that may be perceived as ascribing malicious intent.
	To a group of people, I see a lot of malicious intent out there.
	We're talking about humanity.
	There's malicious intent everywhere.
	There are people who want to kill you.
	There are people who have killed friends and neighbors of you with the jabs and the vaccines and the lockdowns and the hospital death protocols and all the rest of the stuff.
	That's malicious intent, and we need to stop that malicious intent instead of saying, well, I don't want to say anything that's going to get me into any trouble.
	I reject and despise that kind of attitude.
	You need to stand up and say something when this is happening.
	It disgusts me.
	You know, for the long time, when I was a kid, it was a new thing, you know, when you would see people in New York and they see somebody getting mugged on the sidewalk and they go, oh, I don't want to get involved with that.
	And people were saying how reprehensible that is.
	You know, you get some joggers being raped or mugged or something like that and nobody wants to help.
	We're now to the point where we don't even want to say anything.
	We're so afraid of all this stuff.
	So Focus on the Family doesn't want to be accused of ascribing any malicious intent to a group of people who are always careful to treat even those who might disagree with us with respect.
	Our Focus on the Family content creators here in the U.S. are also careful to consult with Focus on the Family Canada.
	Whenever questions arise, Focus on the Family Canada in turn monitors the content produced in the U.S. and assesses this content against Canadian law.
	See, that's the problem I have with it.
	We want to treat people who disagree with us with respect.
	But we don't want to say we're going to give up our right to disagree.
	With all due respect, I'm not going to give up my right to disagree with anybody.
	Because if we do, what we're doing is we are living by lies.
	So focus on the family saying, well, you know, if Canada or China or whoever says we can't say this or that about this or that subject, then we'll just have to censor that.
	And I refuse to do it.
	It's why I'm not on YouTube. It's why I'm not on Facebook.
	It's why I'm shadow banned on Twitter.
	That's the consequence that happens.
	But I refuse to change my content to satisfy these people.
	So, we're going to take a quick break here.
	I know we've had a lot of comments that have come in.
	Heather Ram, 29, thank you very much for the tip.
	Figured I'd better donate to you now considering Canadian government bill may prevent Canadians from hearing your truth.
	Thanks for all you do. Well, thank you very much.
	I appreciate it.
	Sigmund was a fraud.
	Then I walked away from the leadership of my Baptist church after they gave in.
	Stayed away after learning about dispensation and their idol Israel.
	I was asked to wear a mask while leading music and the piano player's dad wasn't wearing one.
	I refused and was asked to leave.
	My current non-denom and ortho churches have guys like David Knight there.
	I'm glad you found some people who are not completely gaslit.
	About all this stuff.
	Birdhouse Blues. Our church locked down March 17th, 2020.
	I never went back. Wow.
	That's such a shame.
	And you know, the thing is that when you look at how the churches shut down and look at how...
	I talked about it the other day. George Barno's looking at these people.
	Attendance has plummeted.
	I mean, it's just been cut in half in a lot of...
	Of the different areas, whether you're talking about the pastors and the way they view their life, you know, they're depressed because, you know, everybody's walking away from it because people perceive that they had no clear convictions about this stuff.
	They saw that they were living a life of fear, a fear of government, fear of a mythological pandemic.
	Nobody was dropping dead around them.
	And we've had in the past Christians, when people were dropping dead around them, when the government was arresting them and torturing them to death, they didn't stop.
	These guys stopped.
	They're frauds. And they need to understand it themselves.
	They need to repent and change.
	But that's the root of this.
	And you can see what's happened to Christianity in general across the United States because people perceived and understood this was fraudulent.
	Timed non-tides.
	Rights are secured by people's willingness to defend them or not.
	Yes. Not our willingness to leave as where would we go?
	But to form into a place in which we could defend them, if we have them, we will.
	I agree. There's not any, you know, there are not any places that we can be pilgrims.
	There's not a new world that we can go to.
	So there's not even an option, right?
	You know, you had the Puritans who decided they would stay there and do reform and fight it there.
	And you had other people who said, we're just going to go start something new somewhere else.
	Well, they're hitting somewhere else to go.
	Except that in our mind, I think we need to get out of this Washington box.
	And if we are going to try to reform, one thing we need to do is we have to have a pilgrimage away from federal politics and the importance of it.
	It's important to know what these people are doing because they may be coming after us in a lot of different ways.
	So you've got to keep an eye on them, but understand that they're a threat.
	They're not a solution.
	And act accordingly to preserve what you can at the local level.
	Star Barkley, they used to call evangelicals as a pejorative.
	Yeah, you're right. And again, that was another term that was not very well defined.
	George Barna would go out and he would say to people who would identify as evangelicals, he would ask them a series of questions.
	You know, what do you believe?
	How do you live your life? And all these other things.
	He said he found out that About 80% of them didn't have anything in their life that you would identify as Christian.
	They didn't live any different from anybody else.
	They just used that label evangelical.
	For some reason, they liked it.
	Vex I... They attack Christianity relentlessly.
	Look at the Pope. Yeah, I don't know.
	I don't know if you're talking about the Pope attacking Christianity, but certainly I think he's, you know, the whole thing about is a Pope Catholic.
	I think traditional Catholics don't believe that he's Catholic.
	So he's, there's now just as people are starting to talk about secession politically, the Catholics are talking about schism.
	Michael Pomeroy, I was an elder at the church I was at, remember, 35 years.
	Had to attend elsewhere.
	Yeah. Eventually, it comes down to something, and it really kind of shows what they trust and truly believe.
	And I've used the example before, and it was something that's very important in our personal life.
	When things went away, you know, we had a business, we lost the business.
	And... And it was basically stolen from us by the people who bought it.
	And it's a long story, but I won't go into it.
	But, you know, there was a story, and we're just kind of shell-shocked after this court decision where it was taken away from us.
	And so I just packed the family up and we went up to Niagara Falls because I'd seen this story and I just wanted to see the place where it happened.
	There was a story early 20th century or late 19th century.
	I don't remember which one it was.
	But at the foot of the falls, it's really, really violent still.
	Not just right where the water hits, but a little bit further down.
	And life-threatening.
	This guy set up a tightrope and he went across a tightrope and he had a big crowd that was watching him.
	So it was probably, you know, the 1800s.
	And so he's going back and forth and everybody's going, whoa, that's, you know.
	And then he gets a wheelbarrow and he pushes the wheelbarrow across.
	And then he comes back and everybody's just seen him do the wheelbarrow across.
	And he goes, so who wants to get in the wheelbarrow and let me push him across?
	Nobody wanted to do that.
	They'd seen him doing all kinds of things on the tightrope.
	They'd seen him even pushing a wheelbarrow, but they didn't want to get into the wheelbarrow.
	And see, that's where the trust comes.
	You've got to get into the barrel.
	And, you know, it's, you can stand on the sidelines, oh yeah, yeah, certainly I agree with all that.
	But when push comes to shove, what do you really trust?
	And what we found out in 2020 was a lot of people who didn't want to get into the wheelbarrow because they didn't trust God.
	Now, a lot of people were deceived.
	A lot of people have repented of that.
	And I know some very good churches where they did repent of that and said, you know, I didn't see this coming, and that isn't going to happen again, ever.
	And I think for those kinds of churches, we ought to have the same kind of grace that God extends to us when we make a mistake.
	Even if they did it out of fear and weren't deceived.
	Even if they knew what was going on and they were afraid to do something.
	If they come out against it and say, that was wrong, we're not going to do it again.
	I would give him another chance.
	But, you know, it is because, you know, deception like that or even disobedience, that's why Christ died for us.
	Jason Barker says, that's right, we don't change the message, especially when it comes to Christ.
	If you deny him here, He will deny you in front of the Father.
	Remember that if they hate you and your message, they hated Christ's first.
	I absolutely agree.
	And again, we need to understand who is self-identifying as Christian nationalists and why.
	You know, is it this QAnon nonsense?
	Is it for politics?
	Is it for grifting? And we need to understand who is throwing that label at everybody.
	Okay? Even like they threw it at John MacArthur.
	He's like, I don't know. And I see that over and over again.
	More often than not, there's only a few people out there who really want that label of Christian nationalism because they understand it's being used as a weapon, as a pejorative, by people like Rob Reiner and Heidi and people of that ilk.
	And we should reject those labels and use it as an opportunity to explain what we really believe.
	Assyrian girl, if we censor what we know to be true about Jesus Christ, there's no reason at all for the churches to exist.
	Why support false shepherds?
	KWD68, if you download the Grace Church app, you can watch the movie The Essential Church about the fight in California that John MacArthur's church did.
	That's right, they did a full documentary on it.
	And they had, once they turned around, again, and I don't have a problem with what happened, because once they turned around, they were solid.
	And these guys in Canada, at least one of them, James Coates, came from MacArthur's seminary.
	He stood firm. But one of the things he said, Was he said, I wish when I was being trained that I'd known more about church history and about human history.
	And I think that that movie, that documentary that they did, is important.
	And I think people need to learn lessons from what happened with this.
	And there were mistakes, and there were failures, and there was sin.
	There was all of that kind of stuff going on.
	And not everybody got this right.
	It's the way it is.
	We were human. And so we learn from that, and we change, and we don't repeat those mistakes.
	Christian Constitutional Conservatives.
	So we're living in the last phase of the church on earth, the seventh, the Laodicea.
	Holistic Nurse 1.
	2020 made it much easier for me to find an alive, Bible-believing church.
	That's the good news, isn't it?
	There's a silver lining in that, just like it allowed a lot of parents to see what was really going on in their child's classroom.
	Oh, I know that's what they want, the Department of Education, but that's not in my child's class.
	Oh, I know that's the state level.
	I know that's the county level.
	I know that even in my school, there's some classrooms where it's happening, but it's not happening in my kid's classroom.
	And then they saw, yes, it was.
	And it allowed a lot of parents to make a change.
	So she's one of the few that met in person without demanding to suffocate people to be there.
	And I think that was one of the key things with MacArthur's church, you know, when they said, okay, you can show up, but you got to wear a mask and you can't sing or something like that.
	It's like, okay, we're done.
	We're done. And then the fines began.
	And then the state started trying to play all kinds of games with them, you know, parking, taking their parking lots and stuff.
	But they crewed massive fines, and they had to put them aside in escrow.
	And then they got it back.
	They won that fight, which is good.
	See, if you fight, sometimes you win, and you get the right stuff there.
	But you've got to fight, and he did.
	Comments about Flynn here.
	Trump burger forever. Good to see you back.
	He was the one that you...
	Yeah, okay. Apologies for yesterday.
	We'll get some people going on a regular basis and saying, you know, Mel Gibson is live.
	Well, Mel Gibson is not live.
	It's some kind of clickbait game that they got playing.
	I'm not sure what they're doing, but they do it on a regular basis.
	And so he's trying to ban these trolls who are doing that kind of thing.
	And he hit your button by mistake and he couldn't undo it.
	So sorry about that. He says, yeah, these people are scary.
	Shelly says, Flynn said that prayer was from his Catholic mother.
	Elizabeth Clare Prophet was not Catholic.
	She was a theosophist.
	Look that up.
	We probably got better things to do.
	You don't need to know all the different ways that people can go off in the wrong direction.
	But we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about, well, we're going to continue this, but in a different perspective.
	We'll be right back. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Alright, welcome back. Headline says, and this is from Daily Skeptic out of UK. Church of England is told to raise 1 billion pounds.
	So that's going to be, what is it, like 1.3 or something now, the exchange rate?
	I'm not sure exactly. In order to address past wrongs of slavery, as church leaders continue to fall victim to race grifters.
	Well, the...
	It begins by saying, in January of last year, Church of England commissioners who handle more than $10 billion of assets for the Church of England.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Okay. Race grifters, I think we've got some religion grifters here.
	They've got $10 billion, with a B, pounds of assets?
	Maybe that's part of the problem, right?
	And see, part of the problem, the Church of England is a good example of why you don't want what's called Christian nationalism.
	The kind of Christian nationalism is being served by the likes of Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiet and Michael Flynn.
	This is the union of government with religion.
	And whenever that happens, any religion, whenever that happens, that religion is corrupted by the government.
	The government takes over everything.
	And so you wind up with, you know, destroying that religion.
	That's one of the reasons why we want to keep, you know, the separation of church and state is not about putting Christians in the closet, but it is about making sure that we don't have some established religion.
	But just because we don't want to establish a religion that the government is going to authorize.
	That's one of the reasons why America was founded, was because they had their Church of England, and you had to be part of that Church of England.
	And so we don't want to have establishment.
	But that doesn't mean that we restrict people's free exercise.
	Those are two different things.
	I know they both start with E, and it's very difficult to distinguish those things for some people.
	But establishment and exercise are two different things.
	So, the Church of England then announced that they're going to establish a 100 million pound fund to address past wrongs of slavery.
	So, first of all, they got way too much money.
	And there isn't any work of the church that needs that kind of money, frankly.
	So, they need to start giving it away to people.
	They've stored up too much of this stuff, number one.
	Number two... They don't understand the first thing about Christianity, the Church of England.
	And, of course, it is completely apostate.
	The supposed head of the Church of England is King Charles, if you can believe that, okay?
	So you're going to go to any church where King Charles is the head of that church?
	He's a depopulationist pagan.
	Anyway, but what they don't understand is what Christianity is about.
	Look, Christ died for our sins.
	And not just the sins that were done by us, but the things that were done to us.
	And because he took those sins, we don't have to hold a grudge.
	We can forgive people.
	And what we're talking about with these reparation things, we're talking about punishing people for the sins of their, not even their fathers or their grandfathers or their great-grandfathers, but their great-great-great-grandfathers or however many generations back it goes.
	How unforgiving is that?
	How worshipping of money is that?
	The Church of England deserves to lose all of their money.
	They got too much of it anyway.
	It's corrupting them. And it's a completely apostate organization.
	But they can't even explain the fundamental understandings of forgiveness.
	The fundamental aspect of Christianity there.
	So what's the point of their existence?
	These people who are alive never had slaves, but you're going to punish them for the sins of their ancestors?
	This is not Christianity.
	They ought to reject that.
	They ought to explain to people what Christianity is, but the Church of England doesn't know.
	A report published on Monday by an independent oversight group has concluded that the 100 million pound fund will be too small and too slow to deliver on its aims as it's called for the target to be increased to a billion pounds.
	However, the Church of England is being used to raise the remaining 900 million pounds from wealthy donors.
	Well, the group said the church commissioners had embraced a target of a billion pounds for a broader healing, for repair, and justice initiative.
	You see, that's it. They don't want to talk about Christ in terms of healing, Christ in terms of repair, Christ in terms of justice.
	That's why he suffered.
	He suffered for justice. You can't accept that?
	You can't accept Christ?
	Well, then you're not a Christian. So they said it was, 100 million pounds is insufficient to counter historic and enduring greed.
	Talk about greed, these people.
	Cynicism and hate. Well, yeah, the only thing they've got, unfortunately for them, is a cross, and they don't want to use it.
	So, you know, when one person who wrote this article for the Daily Skeptic said, It's tragic, really, to see the once-respected institution being fleeced in broad daylight.
	Church leaders need to realize when they're being had and to tell the scammers to take a hike.
	In truth, one suspects this is only the start of the shakedown.
	Well, one suspects that the Church of England doesn't deserve any.
	If they got a billion dollars, they've been fleecing the flock for a long time.
	They're literally paying a tithe to their god of ESG, says my son.
	Of all the money they have, if they go with the one billion dollar, or all the money they have if they go with a billion dollar figure.
	That's right. Yeah, they don't know what Christ and Christianity are even about.
	And they're prime examples of this Christian nationalism and the problem of mixing something as precious as Christ with the sully politics that is out there.
	By the way, also in England, you have English Heritage, which is the Guardian group, an institution that guards ancient monuments, has declared that Hadrian's Wall, one of the most, well certainly in the UK, I guess the most famous relic of the Roman occupation, is a gay icon linked to England's queer history.
	They said the reason is, is that Emperor Hadrian enjoyed several gay relationships with And people who are reporting this were daily skeptics said, well, that's undoubtedly true.
	But this is really old news.
	Old news. And they put it in the headline.
	They said, so English Heritage declares that Hadrian and his wall are queer icons, but they forget that he owned slaves.
	Oh, my. They may also forget that he was a colonizer.
	Yeah. How bad can it get?
	He owned slaves and was a colonizer.
	But hey, it's okay because he was queer, they say.
	And they want to talk about that.
	Well, you know, these are things that they want to rehash that happened centuries ago, ended centuries ago.
	But here's what's happening today.
	Let's talk about what's happening today.
	There is slavery happening today.
	And there are people in Africa who are being enslaved today.
	What are they doing about that?
	Nothing. Instead, you know, they're putting up, they're playing their little Marxist games, and they're not doing anything about this slavery.
	And so we have this story here from Faithwire.
	Ex-slave was captured as a child and forced to embrace Islam and the Quran.
	And then he met Jesus.
	As a Christian non-profit worker, helping to bring Sudanese slaves to freedom revealed a touching story that showcases the physical and the spiritual.
	And so, again, you know, when we look at what has happened after Hillary Clinton...
	And what they did in Libya, they have restarted these slave markets in Libya.
	Not only did they turn it into an arms bazaar, but they're also enslaving people and have brought back the slave markets.
	And so an organization that is doing something about it, and I guess they don't have 100 million pounds or even, and certainly not a billion pounds, is an organization called Christian Solidarity International.
	And so what they are doing is they are helping to free Sudanese slaves.
	And last year they freed 1,500 slaves.
	I wonder what Black Lives Matter or any of these other Marxist organizations, what have any of them done to actually end slavery that is happening now?
	See, it's not about slavery at all.
	Or they would be focusing on that.
	They'd be focusing on human trafficking and other things like that.
	Instead, this organization, Christian Solidarity International, actually helped to free 1,500 Sudanese slaves last year.
	And over the last 30 years, they have freed 100,000 slaves.
	But this guy, talking about what they face, the slaves do, he said they face sexual violence, family separation, forced conversion to Islam.
	Many of them have suffered, yet many have held on to their faith.
	But there was one individual who was kidnapped.
	He said, I'm thinking about one young man I met who was just old enough when he was enslaved to know that he didn't come from a Muslim background, but not old enough to really know anything about Christianity at all.
	So he grew up in slavery.
	He grew up being forced to learn the Quran, to go to Islamic school at night, to work during the day, always being told he was a Muslim, always being forced to pray like a Muslim.
	This is happening today.
	Oh, we don't want to criticize Islam, right?
	It's only Christianity that we want to criticize.
	And it's only slavery that was ended by Christians a couple of hundred years ago.
	Yet the man always resisted the identity that was imposed upon him.
	And when he finally became free, he explored the Christian faith heritage of which he had been deprived.
	And when he came back to South Sudan, he had the chance for the first time to learn what it meant to be Christian, and he learned the story of Jesus.
	And he told me the Jesus story is way better.
	He said Jesus came and gave himself for the world, and he doesn't force anyone to follow him.
	He doesn't force anyone to worship him.
	He just loves us.
	And the guy who works for this organization to free these Sudanese slaves, he said, seeing the beauty of this man's encounter with Christianity showed me the power of that story of redemption and love.
	For him, it was encountering it for the first time.
	And just that experience of understanding grace for the first time.
	He says, I always carry that around with me.
	It was a real blessing.
	He says, today we have two countries.
	We have Sudan and we have South Sudan.
	He said, but in the years 1980 and 1990, it was all just one country called Sudan, and that country was split by civil war between the north, which is mostly Muslim, dominated by Arabs in the south, which was mostly Christian and black African.
	He said, the Muslim government in the north started to use slavery as a weapon of war.
	Historically, this is the way it's always been.
	You had American Indians here using slavery as a weapon of war.
	They have a war, they capture people, they kill some of them, save some of them as slaves.
	And the same thing is happening in Africa.
	Muslims using this as a weapon of war, enslaving black people that they had defeated there.
	Even nearly 20 years later, he said, many slaves are still stuck in detention, enduring painful, arduous lives.
	And so, war, slavery, these are the, this is the state of all mankind, regardless of skin color.
	And yet, these people who have their virtue signaling, demanding reparations, demanding this, demanding that, are not doing anything to stop any of this.
	I'm going to read a couple of comments here, and we'll take a quick break.
	Vex the first. Yeah, we had a lot of people who got vexed during all of this.
	Yeah, they have long COVID and all the rest of it as well.
	He says, we need to get our act together in church and start trying to put good Christians in local government.
	I really believe so.
	I mean, what is wrong about saying we need people of good character?
	We need people who realize that they're going to be held accountable by God Almighty, not by some group of men somewhere.
	Because if that's all you're accountable to, most people will look at this and the amount of money and power that's available, and they'll say, well, I'll take the chance.
	I can get away with it. You've got to have people understand they're not going to get away with it.
	They're not going to get away with it.
	That's the kind of people you need in office.
	That's one of the reasons why, for the longest time in America, we had written in various state constitutions that you've got to be...
	First, it was very specific about a particular denomination of Christianity because when people came and set up these states, they initially had established religions.
	And then...
	Then they relaxed it to say, well, you've got to at least believe in God.
	Gradually, it started coming down to that.
	And then that was all swept away by a Supreme Court decision that people foolishly obeyed because they didn't need to.
	Delta Mike 8384.
	What say you, Christian? Paul used his Roman citizenship to continue his ministry.
	That's right. He could have just quit.
	He could have stayed silent.
	I pray and ask for discernment before any voting.
	God will have the final say.
	But it seems a test of the heart.
	Yes. He also, when they wanted to arrest him, he lowered himself in a basket.
	You know, he ran away from them.
	He resisted arrest, if you will.
	So, KWD68, as long as Hadrian didn't own African slaves, that's all okay, I guess.
	Yeah, that's right. Who knows where he got his slaves?
	He probably, being a Roman emperor, he got some from Britain, but he probably also got them from all over the place, didn't he?
	And that's one of the reasons why we have the term slave.
	The people who are most frequently enslaved were the Slavs.
	Anyway, he says, I go to vote for Thomas Massey and local.
	I don't care about president. Well, good for you.
	You can actually vote for Thomas Massey.
	I'm unable to do that, but that's good.
	A Syrian girl war and resulting slavery have hit on all of our ancestors at some time in history, so I guess we should all pay reparations to everybody else.
	So where's my check? Jason Barker, the fact that only the wealthy families had enough money to own slaves, that old money has made its way up to the top 1% now.
	Good point, Jason. Let them pay reparations and let the rest of us be.
	That's right. That's a civil war that said, you know, rich man's war, poor man's fight.
	Most of the people who are doing the fighting didn't own any slaves in the South with that.
	They were fighting for other reasons.
	The Syrian girl of the Church of England is so non-Christian that I think they are adopting this reparation policy to cause any remaining Christians to lose their faith and leave.
	They don't know Christ.
	Well, they certainly don't. Just one last thing I want to talk about here before we take a break, and then we're going to move to what is happening with climate, with what's happening with money, pharmaceuticals.
	Two of the biggest funders of the radical transgender movement in the U.S. are China-linked billionaires.
	And again, Xi Van Fleet, I'm glad that Tucker Carlson interviewed her.
	It's going to get her to a broader audience.
	And what she has to say is very, very important.
	Mao's America, a survivor's warning.
	As she points out, what we see here labeled as woke, it's not.
	It's simply, it's textbook Marxism.
	Nothing at all new.
	She went through all of it.
	They had different names for it.
	They called it Struggle Session.
	Here we call it, you've got to be anti-racist and all the rest of this stuff.
	But it's simply a Marxist program.
	Pro-Beijing groups, financially backed by two China-linked billionaires, are pushing the radical transgender movement as a means of advancing the Marxist agenda.
	And of course it's being pushed by the neo-Marxists in Silicon Valley, as well as these Marxists in China.
	Peter Schweitzer just released a book, another book.
	He calls it Blood Money.
	And in that, he goes into the details of this particular thing.
	Chapter 6, Destabilizing Democracy.
	Schweitzer explores how two billionaires, China-based American Neville Roy Singham and Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai, propped up radical activist groups that used transgenderism as a weapon against the capitalist order.
	Schweitzer first focuses on Singham, who grew up in Jamaica and Detroit, Michigan, and as a young man, adopted communist ideological views, joining the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.
	And again, we need to understand that a lot of this, you know, Black Lives Matter, I call them lying black Marxists, you know, black lying Marxists, BLM, people like Angela Davis, but also tied in with the radicals and that are part of the Weather Underground.
	They were pushing the idea of white skin privilege way back then.
	Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dorn, they took white skin privilege and just called it white privilege.
	And then they got involved in education after they escaped charges for blowing up buildings and killing people because they were protected.
	And so these Marxists combined with people like Angela Davis, who by the way, you know, when they did a background investigation on her, found out that both of her grandfathers were white.
	She was horrified. Just horrified.
	Spent all of her life pushing racism and hate based on skin color.
	Then she finds out that her two grandfathers are white.
	Anyway, that happened like a year or so ago.
	But this guy joined the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.
	he ended up creating a software business called ThoughtWorks.
	He also served as a strategic technical consultant for Huawei, the Chinese military-linked tech company.
	While enjoying his affluent life and connections, writes Schweitzer, in Beijing, he has poured more than $100 million into organizations driving the protest movement in the U.S.
	According to the chief scientist at ThoughtWorks, Martin Fowler, Singham sold the company so that he could fund his activist work, radical pro-communist Chinese causes.
	radical pro-communist Chinese causes. Schweitzer, citing tax records, found that Singham's largest financial commitment is to a New York project called the People's Forum. Two co-executives of the People's Forum, Claudia de la Cruz and Manolo de los Santos, are members of the PSL, the Party of Socialism and Liberation, whose leader once demanded that party members offer a militant political defense of the Chinese government.
	Schweitzer points out that the PSL uses the trans movement, along with many other Marxist and grievance-based movements, to push the dismantling of Western values.
	As I point out many times, I understood that the class conflict based on economic stratification That had worked for them in Europe was not going to work in the United States, so they had to use race.
	And then now also sex, victimhood, sexual status.
	For PSL, the trans movement became a central part of the radical Marxist movement.
	The revolution will not be gender-conforming, stated one article that explained the substantial number of trans members of the PSL. As for the other guy, Joseph Tsai, co-founder of Alibaba, which is essentially a state-controlled entity in China, as all the big corporations are.
	Especially, you know, people like Guo, the Chinese billionaire that pushes Steve Bannon.
	They poured millions of dollars into trans causes and research into the United States, he says.
	Schweitzer notes that Boston's Children's Hospital...
	What have we heard about Boston's Children's Hospital before?
	Well, the many times I've talked to Marty Gottesfeld, that was the hospital that kidnapped Justina Peltier.
	That was a hospital that when he embarrassed them during a fundraiser, they had the political clout at Boston's Children's Hospital to not only give him a hefty sentence, but to put him into a communications management unit.
	That's what Boston's Hospital is.
	And they're affiliated with Harvard.
	Infamous for its first of a kind, also infamous for its first of a kind, Center for Gender Surgery that performs mastectomies on teenagers as young as 15.
	As well as, since deleted wording on the hospital's website, the claim that teens as young as 17 can get vaginoplasties.
	Yeah. One of the hospital staffers' controversial claims is that, quote, a good proportion of children do know their gender identity as early as seemingly from the womb.
	Well, we all know that's nonsense.
	I thought it was Batman when I was that age.
	Yeah. When I was much older than that.
	Not in the womb. I didn't know that.
	But, you know, it's all that stuff.
	You know, the kids go through these stages.
	And it kind of helps if they've got some adult who is gaslighting them with all this stuff.
	Oh, don't tell your parents.
	That is the hallmark of a sexual predator, a groomer.
	We'll 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 All right, a couple more comments here before we get into some of the climate stuff.
	Food and transportation is really what they're coming after.
	You know, when you look at all this stuff, how do we, as the Bible says, if you don't provide for your own, you're worse than an infidel, right?
	Maybe that means that you make sure that your kids, your grandkids, are not going to be slaves.
	Maybe that means that they're not going to have to eat some kind of soylent green lab meat or something like that.
	Maybe that's something that we do.
	Maybe we have a vision for our children and for our grandchildren.
	Instead of just making it about me, and I guess I'm going to be helicoptered out of here so I don't have to worry about any of this stuff, right, because of your...
	I just, I can't sign up for that.
	Delta Mike 8384.
	Unfortunately, many Christians are setting up Trump as God, as a God-sent leader, to come to the Christian's aid.
	He and Mag are making the God of the Bible a joke.
	No righteousness in their cause.
	Absolutely. That's the problem.
	That's why they need to be exposed and why we can't just let this stuff go.
	You know, when they come out and they say, to me, it's the ultimate false teaching.
	You know, that's where the war is right now.
	You know, you don't have this big national movement where you've got some traditional Christian doctrine of, well, they mentioned the Trinity earlier on.
	It's not a big struggle over the Trinity.
	It's a big struggle over the deity of Trump.
	And over politics being the most important thing in our life.
	I mean, we're not there to put an overemphasis on politics.
	We're there to destroy and to tear down that idea that politics is so important.
	That's my purpose, anyway.
	I hope that's your purpose as well.
	It's why I cover politics.
	I cover politics to tear that stronghold down that it has on people's lives.
	And it's a stronghold over our minds as well as over our bodies.
	Over future generations and everything.
	We need to tear that down.
	And we need to oppose those lies.
	I see that as spiritual warfare.
	And I'm all about spiritual war.
	I'm not for a civil war.
	But I'm all for a spiritual war.
	It's time we kick that thing off.
	What are we waiting for?
	Let's go. Let's do it.
	Instead, we've got people out there who want to make it about, well, what about this other thing over here?
	That's not where the fire is right now.
	You've got to see where the fires are.
	KWD68, I saw a video of a person who was baptized in an Awaken America rally.
	She came out of the water and said, praise God, praise Trump.
	Yeah, the unholy, not even a trinity.
	Duality, right? Yeah, that's crazy.
	I did not see that, or I would have shown that to everybody.
	That's amazing.
	Amazing. And blasphemy.
	And that shows... See, those are the people that are pushing Christian nationalism.
	And when you oppose Christian nationalism, your opponents are not the people who have a post-millennial eschatology.
	Your opponents are those people that reawaken America that are baptizing people in the name of Christ and Trump.
	That's the Christian nationalism they're talking about.
	Mixing up Christ with Trump.
	Um, high boost.
	People claiming to be Christian, bastardizing the religion wrapped in Trumpism is evil.
	Yes. Cervantes Galan, exercise your God-given constitutional right to vote by voting none of the above for POTUS. That's right.
	The conscience you save will be your own.
	That's right. Constitutional Christian conservative.
	Or Christian constitutional conservative.
	The reparation nonsense is just another redistribution of wealth globally.
	Yes. Yes. Swamp lover.
	Slavery being the reason for civil war.
	A good example of how to make the lie big and to repeat it over and over again until it becomes the truth.
	That's right. That's right.
	And, you know, you look at what is happening and it's all about hating people who have white skin.
	It always comes back to that for these people.
	They're setting up a scapegoat in society on which all the sins and all the evils of society will be placed on the head of the white people and then we will take them in and slaughter them, right?
	We've seen this happen over and over again with different groups.
	That's what they're doing now.
	Christian Constitutional Conservative.
	The agenda is to break us financially so we can no longer afford to reproduce.
	And so we no longer have the will to reproduce.
	You know, they've completely changed us, as I point out.
	There are a lot more males than females who want to get married, and a lot more males than females who want to have children.
	They've completely turned all this stuff upside down because they've got the power of the press, the media.
	Education, government, all of these different things.
	And they're using all of that to play mind games on people.
	And that's all the mental stuff.
	We're not even talking about the food and the drugs and all the rest of the stuff that is handicapping people physically.
	We're just talking about just losing the will to have a family, not valuing children anymore.
	All of that. Korean researchers are creating what they call meat rice.
	Engineered rice fused with cell-cultured meat.
	When I saw this headline, meat rice, it made me think of the George Carlin, I think it was George Carlin who did it, he said, do you ever go to the refrigerator and you get that old stuff in there and you open up the refrigerator and you look at that thing?
	What is that? Is that meat?
	Or is that cake? It depends on which one it is, how old it is, and I may not want to eat that stuff.
	So we're talking about now meat rice.
	And just like that really old meat in your refrigerator, it's been cultured.
	But even worse, it's been cultured with perpetual eternal cells.
	In other words, cancer.
	These are cells that just keep reproducing like cancer cells.
	This was a study that was published in a magazine called Matter.
	M-A-T-T-E-R. Matter.
	Matter. We're not talking about food anymore.
	We're talking about matter.
	Stuff that you're going to eat.
	It's just called matter. Cultured meat products in which animal cells are grown on a scaffold in the laboratory.
	Man, they're not talking about, you know, a physical scaffold.
	They're talking about just some kind of a substrate there, essentially.
	In this particular case, a scaffold is rice.
	And so they say this beef rice has a slightly higher fat and protein content than standard rice.
	Really? So they bathe it in a growth medium, and they combine it with these eternal cells, these cancer cells.
	So you're eating something that's bathed in chemicals, cancer cells bathed in chemicals, and we turn it into something that Maybe tastes like meat?
	I don't know. What does it taste like?
	This is what happens if these people get their way.
	If they win, your grocery store is going to become the little shop of horrors.
	Who knows? They may actually get some man-eating plants if they keep up long enough.
	And now they're talking about a 2022 study.
	That has begun recirculating after being cited in an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal more recently.
	So it's a couple years old, but they're starting to push it around.
	And what it says is basically what I've been saying, what Eric Peters has been saying for quite some time, and that is electric cars release more toxic emissions than gas-powered vehicles and are worse for the environment, says this study.
	Now, what are they talking about?
	You know, for the longest time, we've talked about The fact that you have to use energy to put these cars together.
	You've got to get the cobalt using child slave labor in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
	You've got to find the lithium and get that from the Chinese.
	You've got to get all these other things.
	And so it arrives on the showroom floor with much more energy put into it.
	They call it carbon or whatever.
	Much more energy put into it.
	And I don't think they even account for the fact that a lot of these components are coming from China, which has absolutely no restrictions on how dirty their coal-fired plants are.
	They don't even keep them clean.
	And I mean, again, it's just like the difference between some poorly-tuned 1950s automobile And a new car that's got all the pollution control and emission control and stuff on it.
	You know, when you look at these coal plants that they're doing in China, they could be clean, but they don't have to be, so they're not going to spend the money on it.
	So it becomes really cheap.
	So they arrive with a lot of this stuff on it, but that's not even what they're talking about.
	What they're talking about is the fact that it's so incredibly heavy.
	And they're so heavy that, of course, they're going to go through tires more frequently.
	They're going to go through brakes more frequently.
	You're going to have a lot more brake dust released and all the rest of the stuff.
	And there are people out there who actually care about this kind of stuff.
	Not me. I don't care about this at all.
	But they're caring about it and they go, oh, that's going to be, you know, this type of fine particulate matter and it's going to be plastic and all this kind of stuff.
	So if you care about it, look, I just look at it and say, if something weighs three times as much as my car, then then it's going to be very inefficient.
	Right. And it's going to you ought to look at it from the weight standpoint, from efficiency standpoint, from thermodynamics standpoint, all the rest of the stuff.
	You know, to say that doesn't make any sense.
	And I've mentioned before I had a engineering college professor when I was taking engineering.
	And he rode a bicycle and he was all about, you know, he says, we really got to rethink this idea of wrapping ourselves in a ton of steel.
	Bye.
	And he goes, as engineers, we ought to revolt against that, you know?
	So it's like, yeah, okay. I think I'll keep my car.
	But, you know, that was when cars weighed about a ton.
	Now these electric cars, some of them, weigh three tons.
	And so they said they found that EVs are on average 30% heavier than gas-powered vehicles.
	By the way, they don't mention anything in here about the fact that they're going to have to redesign the parking garages because they're not designed for cars that weigh three times that amount.
	That it's going to be more wear and tear on the roads and on the bridges and all the rest of this stuff because of the additional weight.
	And again, they say, well, okay, you've got SUVs that are out there and you could say maybe the same thing for some of the SUVs that are internal combustion engines using fuel.
	However, these are people, remember, that want to electric demand.
	You know, Biden and his globalist cohorts demand that everything be electrified.
	And so, you know, they have even, they've got SUVs that are electric that are really big, and trucks.
	They'll have buses and things like that, even semi-trucks that are going to be incredibly heavy.
	So, that goes throughout all the different types of transportation.
	The same type of thing would be there.
	So, you know, when you look at this stuff, you want to look at, from a consumer standpoint, you want to look at the cost, you want to look at the range, you want to look at the useful life, you want to look at whether or not you can repair it.
	Oh, they want to ban the repairs, don't they?
	Yeah. Don't want you to repair any of this stuff because, you know, you just got to keep...
	Don't want to recycle anything or reuse anything.
	See, this has violated all of these environmental rules that, you know, were thrown at us when I was growing up.
	Oh, we got to reduce, reuse, recycle.
	We got to reduce the size of this thing and the weight of this thing.
	We got to be able to reuse it.
	We should be able to repair it in order to do that.
	And we need to be able to recycle it.
	They don't have a recycling capability for most of these things, like the...
	The turbine blades for the windmills and stuff like that.
	Jason says, Jason Barker, how much energy input is required for a small portion of fake meat?
	Is it really greener than letting a cow eat grass?
	Yeah, good point. It is greener from the financial standpoint.
	And, you know, when you talk about artificial intelligence, they're now starting to talk about the fact they've set up these massive centers and put them out in the desert, just like the NSA did in Bluffdale, Utah.
	And, you know, using as much electricity and as much water as an entire city would in an area where they don't have much water.
	And now they're doing this, of course, with the artificial intelligence things.
	They've got their agenda. All of these objections they have to everything that we're doing are so incredibly phony and hypocritical.
	The boss of Europe's Tesla, and it's not Tesla, but they call it Europe's Tesla.
	What they're talking about is Polestar, or as Eric Peters calls it, Polkat.
	Polkat Motors. That's a better description because this thing really stinks.
	So here's this guy. He's with Polkat Motors.
	EVs. And he's out there saying, all these people who don't want to buy my car, it's just because you're scared of change.
	It's because we don't have the change, pal.
	We don't have the spare change to buy your expensive cars, and we don't want them.
	He can't accept that, right?
	He's taunting people.
	Oh, you're Luddites because you're not buying my latest and greatest car.
	This shows just how incapable of surviving these people are.
	This is the CEO. A polecat.
	You people, you're scared of change.
	You need to change your ways.
	You're not there to dictate to us.
	I know you're serving your ESG masters and they're flooding you with money and all the rest and mandates and bans for us.
	We're not going to live our life that way.
	So he's trying to talk down to people and shame them into buying his car, which they don't have the money to buy anyway.
	This brand is often referred to as the Tesla of Europe by its backers.
	Well, there's already a Tesla in Europe, and his big problem is, you know, he's got a market problem that nobody wants or can afford to buy his cars, but he's got a much bigger problem.
	And that is China, looking over his shoulder.
	They've had to get an emergency $1 billion loan, and it took a consortium of 12 banks.
	So I guess Trump's going to need about six banks to come together, right, for his political persecution in New York.
	Good luck. Which reportedly still leaves the business failing.
	They're still $350 million short of a break-even point.
	So, maybe he should be the one who's changing.
	If he's losing this kind of money, maybe what he's doing isn't working.
	Even with all the government subsidies and all the government dictates and bans and mandates and all the rest of this stuff.
	But the reality is, like I said, China is looking over his shoulder.
	The world is in for another China shock.
	China is flooding foreign markets with cheap goods again.
	And it's buying even less in return.
	I don't know how they buy much less.
	I mean, for years we've seen the massive ships, container ships that are filled with containers that are empty going over and full coming back.
	You can see it in the way the ships are sitting in the water even.
	It's truly amazing. So I don't know how they buy much less in return.
	But they will be flooding the market.
	Why? Because they've got cheap labor, slave labor.
	They've got piracy. They don't pay any attention to intellectual property or copyrights.
	And, of course, the big advantage that they've been given with this Paris Climate Accord in 2015 is that we're making all of our energy scarce and expensive And they're still allowed to have it cheap and dirty.
	And so that's a huge advantage.
	That's what's causing our factories now, the last remaining factories, to shut down everywhere.
	Steel factories and all the rest of this stuff.
	In the late 1990s and the early 2000s, the US and the global economy experienced a China shock, a boom of imports of cheap Chinese-made goods That while it helped to keep inflation low, it came at the cost of local manufacturing jobs.
	And a sequel might be in the making as Beijing doubles down on exports to revive the country's growth.
	Its factories are churning out more cars, more machinery, more consumer electronics than its domestic economy can absorb.
	Just like overbuilding their real estate markets, especially commercial.
	Propped up by cheap state-directed loans, Chinese companies are glutting foreign markets with the products that they cannot sell at home.
	And by the way, their cost of building these EVs is way lower.
	And they've got tons and tons of them.
	That's what Polecat Motors needs to be looking at.
	And in Britain, we've talked many times about these electric buses.
	In Germany, in Stuttgart and Munich, they've had massive fires.
	As a matter of fact, in one of those cities, an electric bus fire burned down the entire terminal and all the buses along with it.
	So they got rid of that. I've shown you pictures of the French electric buses.
	One of them parked parallel, you know, to the sidewalk there and just spontaneously combusts.
	You know, you see sparks start coming out of the top and they got rid of their electric buses.
	Canada, there's one jurisdiction there.
	They bought a bunch of electric buses and they had fires with them and they also had problems charging them.
	They converted them to diesel.
	But in the UK, they have 2,000 ticking time bombs, 2,000 electric buses worth about 800 million pounds.
	Well, there you go. That's not even as much as the Church of England owes in terms of race reparations, according to them.
	But, yeah, that's a problem.
	That's going to be a big issue there.
	And they have yet to address this or do anything about it.
	So, Jason Barker says, I've been screaming this from the rooftops.
	The green agenda produces much more of the CO2 that they are demonizing.
	I'm convinced that a solar panel does not produce more energy than what is put into it to produce it.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I agree. I've got a hunch that's true as well.
	Besides, CO2 is good.
	It's good for plants.
	It's even good in some food and drinks and that type of thing.
	A KWD-68. If I had an EV, I would park it in gravel.
	500 feet away from anything flammable, but I'll never have an EV. No way.
	And here's the thing. I've driven an EV. One of my best friends has got a Tesla and let me drive it.
	And I like driving it.
	I like driving it. I just think the technology is expensive.
	The range is an issue and a lot of other things like that.
	But I'm not even in market for it.
	We've got cars that are doing just fine.
	I want to keep fixing them.
	I don't want that ban to kick in.
	As a matter of fact, we had a listener Who is helping us with it.
	I'll just give him a plug. His name is Bob Irving.
	And he's in the Austin or San Antonio area.
	And he offered to fix it.
	And I said, well, it's an awful long drive.
	And he goes, no, no, no. I'm coming up that way anyway.
	So he went up somewhere up north.
	And he found some Volkswagen diesels.
	That people don't know how to fix.
	He knows how to fix them. So he's like picking these things up, fixing them and reselling them.
	So he went up to get one up there and then he was going to pick up one in South Carolina.
	So it kind of worked out for him that he could leave one of them here and take the head off of my motor and take it back to a shop to fix it.
	So he's going to I'm going to come back with that thing.
	But, you know, I'd like to keep these things going for a long time.
	Interestingly enough, we figured out what actually caused it to lose coolant and kind of got hoisted by my own petard.
	I guess I didn't put it in. I had looked at it.
	One of the things that people said was that would make the engines fail early on.
	Because they had an excess reservoir for the coolant that was plastic, and they had a lot of people that had that bust and then caused their engine to overheat and die.
	And so there was an aftermarket thing that was metal.
	And so I thought, oh, that's a good idea.
	And I'll put that on.
	That would be kind of an insurance.
	And then I looked at it and I thought, well, you know, I've had this car and it's been almost a decade old at the time when I put it on.
	And so I thought, let me just go ahead while they're taking that off and changing that out and just have them change out the hoses.
	And so when they took that out and put it in the other hoses, They got a part that was not a hose, but it was a little metal thing.
	And whoever people installed it for me got that to where it was rubbing against something, and it rubbed it down until it failed.
	It's like... I guess I should have left it alone, you know, probably still be running, you know, from Mazda.
	It would have been fine. But anyway, you try to make the things last a little bit longer.
	Sometimes you mess it up yourself.
	Why is Congress nuking Northeast gas reserves as part of a bill to avert the shutdown?
	Well, give you one guess.
	And do you think the Republicans are going to do anything to fix all this stuff?
	Who knows? A 1,000-page legislation sets a discretionary spending level of $1.6 trillion for fiscal year 24.
	And according to the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office, the bill, quote, maintains the aggressive investments that Democrats secured for American families, for American workers, for America's national defense.
	Yeah, laugh out loud.
	It's crony capitalism out of the U.S. Capital.
	The Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve was established in 2014 following Hurricane Sandy, which cut through refineries and fuel terminals, resulting in fuel shortages in some parts of the Northeast.
	So the rationale for draining this supply reserve...
	Excuse me, is that it doesn't have the operational functionality that was envisioned after Sandy, Hurricane Sandy.
	So that was Trump who said that, of the supply in 2017.
	And now we've got this tag team thing.
	It begins with Trump, and now Biden and the other, it's going to be this bipartisan thing to shut it down.
	And what's more, once they drain this reserve, the bill mandates the entire thing will be shut down.
	They want to just empty out all the reserves right now.
	And they do this before the elections.
	Biden especially, first thing he did, shut down pipelines.
	Then as part of this war, he put sanctions on and all the rest of the stuff.
	They want to shut down our energy supply.
	And they'll come up with any kind of excuse.
	But then, when it comes time for an election, he wants to pump out as much as he can from the reserves so they can get the price of gas down.
	That helps with inflation everywhere.
	But the problem is that they're going to not refill it at all now, the Northeast Reserve.
	So, once the reserve is drained, the bill mandates the entire thing will be shut down.
	So, then the bill makes it even harder to establish regional reserves in the future.
	And they put on lots and lots of red tape to make sure that's not going to happen.
	KWD-68. If I had an EV, I would...
	Oh, he said that. Okay. Let's see.
	Vexa first. I'll never even get a new car again.
	They're starting to put kill switches and everything.
	Older cars are easier to work on anyway.
	They still have manual transmissions.
	That's right. KWD68 said, that's what my wife and I have decided on.
	There's plenty of good vehicles out there.
	Many of them are easier to get parts for.
	Manual transmission, the new anti-theft device.
	That's right. Yeah.
	I don't know. I can't drive that thing.
	That's really true. That really is true.
	It says, I bought my kids' manuals so their friends wouldn't drive them.
	And for help with theft.
	Manual also makes you more involved.
	And that hand on the gear shift versus the phone.
	And there are manuals left.
	Not many. VW Jetta has a manual.
	I think you can still get a Civic, but not many.
	Yeah, that's absolutely right.
	Eric Peters has got an article about the manuals as well.
	But that's what I also did.
	I also, my daughter offered her, I gave her like $500 if she would get a manual.
	And then taught her how to use it for all those same reasons.
	I really do think that it focuses you more on your driving, and that's the key thing for teenagers.
	You're absolutely right about that. Jason Barker, maybe we can take all the EVs and set them on fire in order to power electric plants to save more EVs.
	There we go. Dougalug, I wonder how much kilowatt power we can derive from a lithium fire.
	Well, I don't know, but it just keeps going and going.
	It's like the Energizer bunny, isn't it?
	We'll be right back. APS Radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device.
	Get the APS Radio app today and listen wherever you go.
	This is a video of the APS Radio app.
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Number nine.
	Number nine.
	Number nine. Number nine.
	What's in the horse, Bill?
	It's just medicine. It's good for you.
	Yeah, but I don't like the idea of taking something if I don't know what it is.
	Don't get upset, Mr.
	McMurphy. You're not getting upset, Miss Bill, though.
	Yeah, yeah. Well, it's about time we get upset.
	They're on their ninth booster.
	Number nine? Number nine? Do you know what's in it?
	Do you like taking medication that you don't know what's in it?
	It's like life in an insane asylum anymore.
	Looking at the news.
	Dose number nine.
	CDC panel green lights yet another COVID mRNA shot.
	That trumps just the gift that keeps on giving, isn't he?
	For Americans out there who remain true to the CDC's vaccine recommendation schedule, you'll be heading over to your local clinic in the coming weeks for another dose of Pfizer or Moderna's mRNA COVID gene serum, says Jordan Schlachtel.
	On Wednesday, the CDC recommended that seniors get another booster in the spring.
	I guess they're worried about Social Security and insolvency, so let's get rid of some of those seniors.
	The ninth dose for Americans who continue to abide by the government health booster guidance schedule.
	Yes, it's medication time again for the people who are the inmates.
	The asylum.
	Just in three years' time, the CDC Vaccine Advisory Committee has now authorized nine separate injections for a shot that was once advertised as the cure to a coronavirus.
	Today's recommendation allows older adults to receive additional dose of the season's COVID-19 vaccine.
	Yeah. They just keep changing it.
	You know, it's a seasonal thing.
	I guess, you know, it's like ties that get wider or narrower or jeans that get wider or narrower.
	Bell-bottom. This is a bell-bottom edition.
	I guess this is the bell-bottom variant of COVID that's out there.
	Most COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations last year were among people 65 years and older.
	Yeah, that's exactly what they said at the start, and then they started injecting young kids with all of this stuff.
	One cardiologist tells the General Medical Council in the UK, I have never witnessed such harm as is caused by these COVID injections, said a cardiologist.
	So, yeah, let's just keep it going.
	Dr. Dean Patterson, a leading consultant cardiologist in Guernsey in the UK, and a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, wrote an extraordinary letter to the CEO of the General Medical Council calling for an investigation into the unprecedented harms from the COVID injections.
	The letter was penned in response to a complaint made by a junior doctor against cardiologist Dr.
	Asim Malhotra.
	A world-renowned expert in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of heart disease.
	And so this junior doctor complained about the conduct of Dr.
	Malhotra, who has a large following on Twitter, has been posting since 2022 that COVID injections are linked to cardiac illness and death.
	And so this other guy, Matt Neal, who is a junior doctor, I guess, you know, he's like a little Stasi snitch, you know, it's out there.
	Do something about it.
	However, this little Stasi snitch, Neal, was told that the GMC would not be investigating him because his statements were not sufficiently egregious to merit action, and he had a right to freedom of speech.
	Oh, there we go. That's surprising.
	Neal's appeal against the GMC's decision was turned down.
	So, the little complainer didn't stop there.
	He filed a claim with the high court.
	Arguing that the GMC should consider whether a doctor's behavior could harm patients and whether their actions undermine public trust in medicine.
	You mean like Fauci did?
	Paul Offit, who's this big vaccine cheerleader and show, had said from the very beginning, you put this thing out there without it being tested, and this could really blow up and it could cause people to not want to get vaccines.
	That's exactly what has happened.
	That, by the way, was the only concern really about Rand Paul.
	You know, he was concerned about this so-called lab leak thing.
	And then he was concerned with Fauci said, you're going to cause vaccine hesitancy.
	You know, we're both paid by the pharmaceutical companies, right?
	What he should have added. Just so incredibly sad.
	Anyway, so he's kept, this little guy, this little Stasi guy has continued to push on this.
	And so now there's going to be a hearing.
	But these doctors are standing firm in what they believe is really happening with this.
	When the technocrats sunk their claws into President Donald Trump and he rolled over.
	This is from Patrick Wood at Technocracy News.
	And he says, you know, he's got a bullet point here.
	He's got six different items.
	He says, we got the executive order that Trump signed.
	Well, before there was anybody dying, right?
	Claiming that it was a pandemic.
	And then it set the stage for mRNA and DNA injections.
	It turned over the design, manufacturing, and distribution to the military.
	It set up a huge private-public partnership with Big Pharma.
	And he said it set up a task force that was co-headed by the Secretary of Defense.
	Operation Warp Speed confirmed the design, the manufacturing, and the distribution by the military.
	And this was in September of 2019.
	We just keep getting all this stuff.
	You know, September 2019, Trump signs this that does all of that.
	Sets the stage for the mRNA and DNA injections, and you've got Fauci the next month at the Milken Institute saying, you know, well, how do we, I ask him, how do we get everybody in the world to take an untested vaccine?
	Well, we do it with disruption from the inside, and we do it iteratively.
	You've got Alex Azar from Eli Lilly, the biggest, you know, the biggest lobbyist that Eli Lilly had, then becomes CEO, and then Trump puts him in as HHS secretary.
	And he's saying nine months before this stuff rolled out, back in the spring of 2019, well, he tells this biodefense agency, I think there's going to be some kind of a pandemic coming from a respiratory virus, and it's going to be really soon.
	All the rest of this stuff. But, you know, this executive order, this is in writing.
	This is not just somebody saying something at a convention there.
	And, of course, Donald Trump, at the same time that Alex Azar was saying that, Donald Trump was saying, not going to give anybody any exemptions for informed consent.
	Not medical exemptions, not religious exemptions.
	Measles, that's really going around.
	They've got to get the shot, got to get the shot.
	No exceptions for anybody.
	Don't tell me.
	That he would not have mandated this, because most of Biden's mandates were done in terms of financial coercion and incentives of private companies that did business with the federal government.
	Of course he would have done it. He would have done it exactly the same way.
	So when you go back to this executive order, so Trump does the executive order on Friday the 13th, and that releases the money.
	To the governors so that they can implement the legislation that was passed out to them in December of 2001, two months after 9-11 and the anthrax attack that happened the week after that.
	And of course, two months prior to that, there had been the wargaming of Dark Winter.
	And so all of that was there.
	It just needed to be funded. So that's what Trump did on Friday the 13th.
	He released the money to get these people to do what had already been laid out and practiced for 20 years.
	But then two months before that, you had had Alex Azar say that it was a pandemic.
	And then we have, what is it, four months earlier, you've got Trump putting out this executive order That says, periodically new influenza A viruses emerge from animals, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay. Sounds like their narrative.
	This situation is called an influenza pandemic.
	It has the potential to spread rapidly around the globe with high rates of illness and death.
	This is reading from his, again, his September 2019 executive order from Trump.
	Most influenza vaccines are made in chicken eggs using a 70-year-old process that requires months-long production timelines, limiting their utility for pandemic control, blah, blah, blah.
	And, of course, there's also the fact that, you know, we had this tradition of testing things.
	We got rid of that with warp speed, with Trump's warp speed.
	Then they have the solution part in the second section, and there's a lot of this here.
	If you want to read more of the details here, they've got this at Technocracy News.
	The solution was alternative methods, more agile, rapid responses, and all the rest of this stuff, including, this is in the order itself, including cell-based and recombinant vaccine manufacturing through cost-sharing agreements with the private sector, which shall include an agreed-upon pricing strategy during a pandemic.
	You see, all of this stuff was in place.
	To say that, and, you know, just as I played for you yesterday, Catherine Austin Fitz talking to Greg Hunter, who is, you know, repeating all the talking points of the MAGA cult.
	Trump didn't know. He was just surrounded by all these deep staters and these people who deceived him and controlled him.
	I was like, well, then, okay, so he doesn't know how to be president?
	He was completely owned?
	He was stupid? I don't think so.
	Neither did Catherine Austin Fitch, who said, no, he knew.
	He was skeptical about vaccines.
	He was skeptical about autism.
	He used that, as I've said.
	To bid his price up for the pharmaceutical companies.
	Pfizer giving him a million dollars for his inauguration stuff.
	But he was laying the foundation for this stuff with executive orders he was signing.
	He knew about vaccines.
	He knew what he was signing here.
	They just, you know, he did everything the globalists wanted.
	Everything the depopulationists wanted, everything the military-industrial complex, the technocracy, the multinational corporations, big pharmaceutical companies, it was just blank check time for them.
	Paid for it all. Again, you know, they give him a million dollars.
	He turns around and gives them back two billion dollars of your money to set up, to tool up, to make the warp speed injection.
	Then he buys it from them.
	And they have like $40 billion terms of sales.
	He even delivers it for them using our military and all the rest of this stuff.
	And, of course, it was something that DARPA had been working on for quite some time.
	They handed them the product, gave them the money to manufacture it, let them keep the profits.
	Meanwhile, they kill people, and he brags about it until just a few months ago.
	How many lives he saved.
	And then the Public-Private Partnership, the Department of Defense, all of this, We're good to go.
	And so you have the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, Department of Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, BARDA, which is like DARPA, all of this stuff.
	It's all of these different alphabet agencies.
	It's kind of like what Biden is doing with the CBDC. Trump did that with the MRNA. So, all these people are trying to make excuses for him.
	It absolutely is amazing.
	And he finishes the article this way, Technocracy News.
	He says, do you see the technocrats at work in this?
	We have been played by these monsters of tyranny.
	We have been betrayed once again.
	Unfortunately, there are no free passes left for Trump.
	I think there's plenty of free passes at CPAC and Reawaken America.
	They're handing out free passes for Trump everywhere, aren't they?
	He said, unfortunately for us in 2024, the MAGA chants are morphing into a distant illusion of the promise of a former reality.
	That's a good way to describe this.
	Yeah, the distant promise that we could have America the way that it was.
	Before, you know, he destroyed the Constitution and poisoned people worldwide.
	Yeah, you think you're going to get normal back with Trump?
	Trump destroyed normal.
	SoloCat1980, having a vaccine in your body is like having an electric vehicle.
	Catastrophic system failure could happen at any time.
	Yeah. I guess we'd call it electrocarditis, right?
	Yeah. Inflammation of the electrical system.
	Very rapid. Inflammation of the electrical system and sudden death for anybody who can't get out quickly enough.
	Shevkin321, gotta keep killing the people.
	Bring a ninth booster.
	Or a nuclear war. There you go.
	Star Barkley. I didn't even get a cold this flu season.
	Change my diet. No sugar.
	Low carb. Intermittent fasting.
	Boost my immunity. No shot.
	Yep, that's right. That's what you do.
	And, you know, that's the thing.
	It's always... The hard stuff that is left untried.
	You know, changing your diet, changing your exercise, your sleep habits.
	It's always easy to try to medicate things with a pill or something else.
	And those things never work.
	It's the simple but difficult things that work.
	Yeah, and Chefkin321, Trump was part of all of it, and he will also do CBDC. Yes, we know.
	Because it was in his administration that it got kicked off again.
	It was Jared Kushner working with former Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin, and they were kicking off CBDC and writing emails about how they could implement it and all that kind of stuff.
	We've got that evidence already when Trump was in office.
	It's just Biden picks up the ball and continues rolling it out.
	It's just important for them at critical stages to To put somebody up there that everybody trusts, that everybody believes is an anti-globalist.
	You want to have somebody that they all trust and they think that he's an anti-globalist in order to be able to effectively push the globalist agenda.
	That's what this is truly about.
	Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered.
	Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com.
	Using free speech to free minds.
	you It's the David Knight Show.
	Well, I guess I would be remiss if I didn't talk about today being a stupor Tuesday.
	Because you've got to be in a stupor to think this election is going to mean anything.
	It's really become a North Korean election.
	It's such a joke. We've got one person on the ballot.
	Even in Florida, the DNC made sure that there weren't any competitors even to Biden.
	That's about the only way you can, you know, drag Bernie, weekend with Bernie, drag him over the finish line is to make sure he doesn't have any competitors out there.
	And it was kind of interesting to see.
	The news broke during the program yesterday about the Supreme Court.
	And what I didn't say yesterday was the fact that it was unanimous.
	It was unanimous to say we are not going to let Colorado and Illinois, Maine kick off Trump.
	And so you had people like Keith Oberman and many others on the left are just freaking out about this.
	Demanding that the Supreme Court be dissolved, Keith Oberman said they have betrayed democracy.
	He named the three liberal women of color that were put in by the Democrats.
	Brown, Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor.
	How could this be? How could women of color get it so wrong?
	I just don't know. SCOTUS, he said, is corrupt, illegitimate.
	Oh, well, that's true, but it's not as corrupt and illegitimate as Keith Oberman is.
	Or Jeremy Raskin, who has decided that since he doesn't like what the Supreme Court did in terms of, you know, having ballots that actually let people have a choice, then they're going to put up some legislation to keep Trump from being on the ballot.
	He says Congress will have to try and act.
	But of course, as Yoda said, do or do not.
	There is no try.
	And there's no way he's going to get this through because they're not in the majority.
	It isn't going to make it out of committee or wherever he puts it there.
	There's no way. This is all just for show.
	And of course, you know, Republicans do a lot of show as well.
	Joining him in this is Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is from Florida, which is where the DNC said we're not going to have any competitors to Joe Biden.
	That's the way these people want to run an election.
	They call that an election, only with Democrats and dictators to say that we are only going to have one candidate on there.
	But now the Republicans are essentially doing that as well.
	Trump, surprisingly, they have sunk so low that it allowed Trump to take the high ground.
	And he said this, President Biden, fight your fight yourself.
	Don't use prosecutors and judges to go after your opponent.
	Our country is much bigger than that, said Trump.
	He's actually right.
	For once.
	But, you know, he was still kind of talking about himself.
	Clarence Thomas. And again, it was unanimous.
	All of them said, this is ridiculous.
	Clarence Thomas asked the lawyer, Jason Murray, why there aren't many examples of individual states disqualifying candidates under the 14th Amendment, even after the Civil War.
	Clarence Thomas said there were a plethora of Confederates who were still around.
	There were any number of people who could continue to either run for state offices or national offices.
	So it would seem, that would suggest that there would be at least a few examples of national candidates having been disqualified, he said.
	Kagan, Alina Kagan, and of course she's a leftist appointed by Obama, he said, why should a single state have the ability to make this determination, not only for their own citizens, but also for the nation?
	She said the move would be quite extraordinary.
	This is really set off the left, as the Babylon Bee points out.
	They said, in a major blow to democracy, the Supreme Court rules that voters can vote for a favorite candidate.
	In a stunning, unanimous decision that dealt a shocking blow to democracy, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that people can vote for the candidate they want.
	White House press secretary said, we've never seen democracy in such danger.
	We don't have a country anymore, responded Rachel Manow.
	You mean to tell me that in a democracy, people can just go out and vote for whoever they want?
	Why don't you just burn the Constitution already?
	Well, look, here's the deal.
	As I've said from the very beginning, as I said in 2020, I said, you want to talk about corruption?
	Yes. The electronic voting machines are a big problem.
	You've got to keep track of even paper ballots and all the rest of this stuff and voting, any kind of voting machine.
	But you need to count the ballots, count them by hand, be very careful about custody.
	But I said, all the, you know, Trump added this whole new wrinkle of locking everybody down and telling everybody you've got to vote by mail.
	And now they're complaining about what he did, this precedent that he did that we're stuck with now.
	But I said, do you understand where the corruption begins?
	Because I've worked with this stuff A lot.
	Back in the late 80s and early 90s.
	And that is with ballot access.
	And even though they're not going to allow them to throw Trump off the ballot, they're not going to do anything to stop the duopoly of Democrats and Republicans saying you're not going to have any Republican, you're not going to have any independents or third parties.
	And that's true for state elections and for everything else.
	And so this really isn't helping.
	It's just like everything else that we see.
	Whether we're talking about Fannie Willis and her stash of cash while she's out there stealing cash and everything else from people using RICO and civil asset forfeiture, the hypocrisy is just stunning.
	And nobody cares about anything except Trump.
	There's no calls for reform about civil asset forfeiture.
	There's no calls for reform about ballot access in general.
	And it is stunning that they would remove people off of the ballot.
	It was stunning to me to see how rigged the whole political process is.
	They have done it in tandem.
	They've done it with both the Democrats and the Republicans.
	The only thing that has changed in the 40 years that I've been working with this stuff, the only thing that's changed is the fact that the Democrats have finally decided they don't like a duopoly, they want a monopoly.
	That's the only thing that's changed.
	And Republicans don't want to go anywhere beyond a duopoly.
	That's a step too far for them to do anything about it.
	As one of the people says, there's also local and state issues on Super Tuesday, so pay attention to those.
	But the rest of this stuff is crazy.
	Thanks for joining us. The Common Man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	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.
