As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 18th of March.
Year of Our Lord 2024.
Well, today we're going to begin by looking at the bloodbath.
What is going on with this?
And it's kind of interesting.
There's a lot of lies and misrepresentation on both sides, but there is a central goal of both sides as well.
Always interesting to see how the two sides of the coin work to further the agenda of civil war, of other things.
Thanks, we'll be right back.
So, I'm going to be playing a little bit of the music.
I'm going to be playing a little bit of the music.
Well, it's kind of interesting to see what happens.
Well, it's kind of interesting to see what happens.
Over the weekend, on Saturday, we had a speech by Trump in Ohio.
And the mainstream media seized on part of this and said he's calling.
He said it's going to be a bloodbath if he loses.
loses?
He did say that, but they took it out of context.
But there's another context that is being missed by his apologists as well.
And so, as I started looking at the news on Sunday, I take a break from news on Saturday.
I don't pay any attention to it.
It's typically a slow news day anyway, unless Trump is giving a speech.
Gotta see which one of his feet he put in his mouth.
Is this the left foot or the right foot?
You know, he puts the left foot in his mouth when he supports abortion, I guess.
But, anyway, he puts a right foot in his mouth when he supports the jab.
But, so I look at it, and the headline on Drudge is truly amazing.
I've got like a red Trump, you know, and, and, you know, angry red Trump and a bloodbath and all the rest of this stuff.
And it was kind of interesting that, um, his campaign didn't really respond to that stuff.
You know, newsweek says, well, we sent him an email, but they haven't responded.
But it would, he had all of his political surrogates in the media, other politicians immediately jump on it to say, you're taking this out of context.
This is an example of one of the headlines that was sent to me by Jay and Jessica.
Trump says, country faces bloodbath if Biden wins in November.
That was pretty typical, the kind of stuff that you saw from the Drudge Report.
As I said, you're right, Trump is the Mason-Dixon line of the coming Civil War.
Because it's not just the left getting this wrong.
It is also the right.
Now, where did this come from?
This is actually some merchandise.
They sent me this picture as well.
Trump 2024, final battle, make America great again.
Now, that's coming from a statement that Trump made.
They made a flag out of it.
The final battle.
And I've played for you over and over again, the people at the Trump rallies who believe that, you know, oh yeah, if Trump doesn't win, we're going to kick off a civil war.
It's going to be the last election we have if he doesn't win.
And you see this happening from both sides.
As I pointed out, the left wants to, a vast majority of Democrats want to deny Trump the election if he wins.
Same thing on the right.
You've got a situation where both sides have been primed not to believe this if their guy loses.
And to say, this is it.
And we've got a civil war.
And when you look at the bigger context, which most people are not talking about, even as they talk about, well, the millennials say this, and Gen Z says this, and Gen X says that.
They don't talk about the fact that we're in a cycle of history with these different generations.
That usually results in a war.
Always results in economic upheaval.
But usually results in a war.
The press, the politicians, the parties all understand that.
And they are pushing all the buttons to get this to happen.
There was an excellent piece.
I'll show you some of the beginning of it.
It was very well edited, something somebody put together.
I don't know where they were going.
I started watching it, but it's about 45 minutes long.
I stopped when they got into this long thing about RFK Jr.
That may or may not be what it's about.
But there was one thing in it that I thought was really good and really excellent.
I don't know who said it, but they said you take red ants and black ants and you put them in a jar and they're okay.
They're not attacking each other until you shake the jar.
When you shake the jar, they start attacking each other.
And he says, it's not the ants, it's whoever shakes the jar that's doing it.
These people are shaking the jar really hard.
And you've got the Black Lives Matter on the one side, and you've got the red-hatted MAGA people on the other side, and the blacks and the reds are going after each other, aren't they?
Who's doing the shaking?
Who's doing the shaking? Both sides are doing the shaking.
Both sides. It's the final battle.
If we don't win this, democracy is over.
There won't be another election.
How many times have we heard that?
And then when he throws stuff out, very carelessly, or maybe intentionally, I have a feeling that when Trump talks about things like bloodbath, it's kind of like...
Yeah, I think it's kind of like that.
You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
He's baiting people with his language because he's been around long enough.
He knows how people are going to take this, and they've done it over and over again, and he keeps doing it over and over again.
I'm going to be a dictator.
Just wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you know what I mean?
Say no more? No, I didn't really mean it that way.
But as people take it that way, especially that inner core of QAnon idiots, they always take it that way.
And so, when he does this kind of stuff, he's doing it intentionally.
And, of course, the Obama administration, they had a nudge unit to gradually move people, you know, in a particular way.
That's what Trump is doing.
He's nudging people to a civil war from the right.
Biden is nudging people from the left, and they've been doing that quite a bit as well.
If you remember going back to the 2020 election, you had Eric Swalwell was the first one who did it.
And he said, yeah, we got tanks and planes, and we can take those guns from you if you want, right?
Created a big issue. Then Beto O'Rourke, who was running in Texas, did the same thing.
He pulled it up. First, you could just say, all right, that's just an idiot, and who knows who he's working for.
He had a Chinese spy that he had an affair with, the spy who loved him, right?
He's certainly, he's no James Bond, that's for sure.
But anyway, Eric Swalwell does it, and then Beto O'Rourke does it, and then Biden does it, and then Biden does it again, and Biden does it again, and Biden does it again.
They're all talking about using the military against Americans to take our guns.
That's why I think it is so significant, this removal of duty, honor, country as a motto, as a slogan.
But remember, it was also part of a paragraph that the cadets at West Point would memorize.
It wasn't just duty, honor, and country.
It also was the original paragraph said, you know, they're being trained for service to our country and the army.
Now it is your goal is to serve the army.
Big difference. Big difference in serving the country or serving a bureaucracy that is actually a standing army, which is unconstitutional.
Because the founders knew what would happen.
It would eventually become a tool of government, of self-interest, and now the motto reflects that.
I said, you know, maybe I talked a little bit about it on Friday, but some guy with like 25 followers or something says he's a veteran.
I said, well, you're just fear-mongering out there.
You're just a grifter. You're getting people all scared about this duty-honored country.
And I said, I absolutely stand by what I said.
And I said, it's even worse than what you're acknowledging because I said, it's really about who you're going to serve.
And that's why they have to take out duty, honor, and country.
Because it's who you're going to serve.
And that's what they're setting us up for.
Biden has been nudging us to a civil war.
All of the left has been nudging us to a civil war.
But Trump is doing it as well.
And then he plays that little game.
You know, oh, I didn't mean to do it.
And this is something that's been going on for a very, very long time.
As a matter of fact, The, let's see, do I have that in here?
A.J. one way or the other?
I guess I don't, do I? But, you know, going back to just before the January the 6th thing, as Alex Jones was going around doing the Stop the Steal stuff, I had a clip of him saying it here, but if you got it, just go ahead and play it, if it's not in the deck.
But, you know, he went out that weekend and And it was a Saturday, again.
And as I said, I don't listen to news on Saturdays.
But it got a lot of attention.
Because he said, we're going to make sure that Biden is out of there one way or the other.
Do you have the clip? Okay, go ahead and play it.
Okay, a little bit of time.
Okay. So anyway, he said, you're going to get him out of there one way or the other.
Now, that was on a Saturday.
On Monday, I came in because that was the day that they had the Electoral College, December the 14th.
So he says it on December the 12th, a Saturday, on Monday, December the 14th.
The electoral colleges...
No, it's not...
The electors meet.
Let's just say it that way. Electors meet all over the different places.
And they only had one slate of state-recognized electors in every state, regardless of what you've heard.
You had Republican electors who went to say, well, we're here to vote.
Well, nobody recognized you.
They could have made the appeal to the Republican legislature Because you had four razor-thin margins of victory for Biden that could have been contested, and they could have had state Republican legislatures say, this is the slate of electors that we recognize, the Trump slate.
But they didn't do that. And so there's really nothing that Pence or Thomas Massey or Chip Roy, or these people who said, hey, they didn't give us anything to work with.
There's nothing that they could do on that January the 6th.
And I said that on Monday.
I said, here's what did not happen, and here's what's happening today.
I said, there's no reason to talk about any of the Stop the Steal stuff for January the 6th.
I said, it's nothing but a trap.
And I said, the reason it's being run is because it's a grift.
Because I knew that Alex was out there raising money.
But this is what he said.
I don't know who's going to the White House in 38 days, but I sure know this!
Okay, well, we've got problems with this clip, but don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it, Travis. I just explained what's in it.
So, anyway, he was doing that.
Both sides are teasing this civil war.
And when you go out there and say, well, you know...
I don't know. This ain't going to stand.
One way or the other, we're going to get that guy out of there.
And then you go and tell everybody, come on, we're going to go to the Capitol, and we do this and that, right?
And then when it hits the fan, you just come back and say, wink, wink.
I didn't really mean it that way.
Well, you were nudging people.
And let me just say this.
This has been going around for quite some time.
Going back, I think the year was 2013.
It's either 13 or 14. There was a U.S. Army, I think it was a war college, was doing a war game simulation.
And in their simulation, they were talking about a local populist uprising, an insurrection.
And they imagined that it was happening in South Carolina.
So it is, you know, Darlington, South Carolina.
And in it, there was a bunch of, you know, the people were fed up with government.
They didn't like Washington.
They felt Washington was too distant.
Didn't represent them anymore.
Well, we're just going to declare our independence.
So it's kind of a populist secession.
Now remember, this was in 2013.
These people wearing John Deere caps, baseball caps, and all the rest of the stuff.
And the U.S. Army was wargaming what they were going to do to these people.
This is a decade before you had Biden and Swalwell and Beto talking about how they're going to use the American military against people.
It's one of the reasons why I went to the Asymmetric Warfare Center to film a shot there to show people what they're training for.
And so they war-gamed that Darlington, South Carolina secession.
And again, part of that was these ultra-conservative Republicans wanted help from Russia.
When they came out, we're all like, what in the world are they imagining with this scenario in the military?
Where'd they come up with this kind of stuff?
They want help from Russia?
Conservatives hate Russia.
And now, after they've had 10 years to push, well, okay, so Trump is anti-globalist.
You got that? Let's repeat that over and over again.
Trump is anti-globalist. Repeat after me.
Trump is anti-globalist.
Regardless of what he does, you know now that Trump is anti-globalist.
Say it again. Trump is anti-globalist.
And then Trump is friends with Russia.
Therefore, Russia must be anti-globalist as well.
And then you got people like Tucker Carlson going there and selling it.
And here we are a decade later.
And you look at this and it's like, if you put out that Army War College scenario today, people would say, oh yeah, well, they're training for a realistic scenario.
No, they're training for a scenario that they created the narrative for over a decade.
Gradually nudging.
Pushing people to this narrative.
Let's see, we got conservatives want to get rid of government.
They're ready to get violent. They're ready to secede.
And they want to get help from Russia.
Oh yeah, it checks all the lists that we've been told by the mainstream media.
And Trump helped to sell all this stuff.
Yes, I know they created the Russia, Russia, Russia thing.
But they used him, but he also let himself be used.
He likes having that.
This is a narrative that they spent a decade making, and now it is completely plausible, isn't it?
And that's the context for the bloodbath panic.
It's very easy for the mainstream media to take this out of context and to say, well, look at this.
And it's not. And they've got egg on their face.
You've got Elon Musk.
Mocked Joe Scarborough of MSNBC, you know, Joe and Mika Brzezinski.
He, you know, said, are you serious?
And Joe took down, Joe Scarborough took down the tweet, as he should.
It wasn't a legitimate criticism.
And yet, it's already out there.
And, you know, all the people like Rob Reiner and the true believers of the left are all going to believe it.
But there is a plausible context that makes this believable to them.
That Trump has been pushing as well.
With his rhetoric. Just like Alex.
Well, you know, we're gonna, you know, whatever it takes.
We're gonna get Biden out of the thing.
Whatever it takes. And the crowd cheers.
Well, MAGA is very upset about this.
And although, and this is the thing that I thought was kind of interesting.
Trump supporters have come to his defense, wrote Newsweek.
And you spell that not W-E-E-K, but W-E-A-K. Very weak on the news part.
Heavy on the propaganda, but weak on the news.
So they had...
They began their report. MAGA slams criticism of Donald Trump's bloodbath remarks.
Donald Trump's supporters have come to his defense.
And I thought, well, that's kind of interesting.
It's mostly silence from the Trump campaign.
Usually you would have the Trump campaign coming out and saying, what, are you crazy?
Because the Biden campaign was on it, of course, right away.
But the Trump campaign was mostly silent.
And I thought that was interesting.
They did come back and make some quiet statements later.
But at this point in time, when Newsweek wrote this story, they said, Newsweek sought email comment from Trump's campaign on Sunday, but they got none.
And so here you are, 24 hours later, Newsweek, mainstream media is contacting Trump's people.
They got nothing to say, but they're going to let J.D. Vance and they're going to let Breitbart and they're going to let everybody else, you know, InfoWars, all the cheerleaders, WND and everything.
They're all going to, all the conservative media, the big con media, they're all going to defend Trump.
And he needed to be defended here.
Again, the immediate context of this was economic remarks.
Here's what he had to say in context and full context.
Now, see, what they did was they took the end of it.
And they put out this part where he says, now if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole, it's going to be the least of it.
It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.
That'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars.
They're building massive factories.
Now, they took out that, but they're not going to sell these cars.
They're building massive factories.
They just leave it. That'll be the least of it.
Now, here is the bigger context of what was leading up to that.
He said, if you're listening, President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal, those big monster car manufacturing plants you're building in Mexico right now, you're not going to hire Americans and you're going to sell the cars to us.
No. We're going to put 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected, said Trump.
Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole, it's going to be the least of it.
It's going to be a bloodbath for the country.
That will be the least of it.
But they're not going to sell those cars.
They're building massive factories.
Now, that's the full context. So he's talking economically.
Now, here's the other dog that didn't bark, besides the fact that they just kind of sat back and let Trump surrogates handle it instead of the Trump campaign.
Man, you could look at that and say, well, maybe that's what their strategy was.
But here's looking at what he had to say.
If he's going to talk about car manufacturing in Mexico, it was Trump who did the head fake on NAFTA. And it was a head fake.
At the time, the New American was not a dyed-in-the-wool Trump apologist.
They were still doing honest reporting about Trump.
They don't do that anymore.
You don't see that anymore from conservative media.
And it makes me disgusted.
Disgusted. The New American, the John Birch people, they need to get their...
Behind their excrement together, okay?
And they need to get more objective about this stuff.
There's things that are more important out there than Donald Trump, unless you're just worried about the audience turning on you.
And I'm sick of the mob that has been created out of MAGA. And I instinctively hate groupthink.
And I, you know, these people are not even thinking.
It's just a MAGA mob at this point in time.
But when they were still honest about Trump, They went real hard after the USMCA. And I even played the village people.
Why MCA? Why MCA? And I said, why?
Why MCA? Why would you do this?
Said, you're going to get rid of NAFTA? You know, NAFTA was the populist boogeyman, and rightfully so.
You know, that's what Ross Perot ran on.
You had... You had Bush, H.W. Bush, and you had Clinton.
Both of them wanted NAFTA. Just like later on in 2012, you had Romney and you had Obama.
Both of them wanted Obamacare or Romneycare.
Same thing. Romneycare had been put through in Massachusetts with the help of Ted Kennedy.
Same thing. And so, you know, heads you get it, tails you get it.
It doesn't really matter, okay?
And that's the way they operate these things, typically.
And so, you know, with Ross Perot, he was the one talking about the giant sucking sound that's going to happen to our economy if we allow NAFTA to go through, and it was horrific.
Horrific. The trade imbalance and everything else.
Now, Trump comes through and he renames it.
Total head fake. It's still the same thing.
As a matter of fact, in some areas, it's even worse than NAFTA was.
So he gives us a trade agreement that for the most part is the same, but in other areas it's even worse, and gives it a new name, and everybody, oh, look, he fixed it.
Now he's coming back and saying he's going to do 100% tariffs.
That's 100% BS. 100% BS. People were looking at his 67% tariffs and said, whoa, if he wants to put 67% tariffs against China, well, that's going to really put a shock through the system, and it would. A lot of the analysts said, but this is Trump, and he's running a campaign for office, and you can't believe anything he has to say.
He won't stand by that. It's not going to be that bad.
Don't worry about it, they said. So the people who didn't want the tariffs.
And then 67% is not big enough for him.
He's got to go to 100% tariffs.
This is just total BS fantasy from this guy.
He's not going to do any tariffs at all.
Take a look at what he did.
Don't listen to what he's saying now.
He's been in office for four years.
He's not going to do anything with the tariffs.
He only made it worse when he was there.
So that part of it, they're not talking about at all.
Why? Well, because he uses the term bloodbath.
And so everybody forgets the rest of the BS that's there.
Total BS. So, you know, that's the way the election is going.
So they saw that comment from Trump he didn't put out there.
But they're playing it just the way they want it, which, and by the way, this is not smart for us to support that.
Oh, the only thing that matters is winning.
You know who tells you that? People who are liars.
People who told you that the vaccine was sugar water and things like that.
Only liars care about only, you know, the pragmatism of it, right?
The pragmatism was what they were telling us in terms of lies to get us to mask up and lock down.
Remember that? Scott Adams?
It's getting harder and harder to tell these freedom lovers from sociopaths.
And I said, it's getting harder and harder to tell you pragmatists from totalitarians.
Because that's the way they sell you, totalitarianism.
Pragmatism. Pragmatism, envy, things like that.
So, you've got all these different people looking at it and talking about the bloodbath aspect of it.
Another thing that he said that got him upset was that Trump described the rioters of J6, as Newsweek says, as unbelievable patriots.
Unbelievable patriots that he let rot in jail.
Never forget that. Look, Roger Stone was freaking out that Trump didn't pardon all the people that were involved on January the 6th.
He had enough political instincts to know how this thing was going to happen.
And so did Trump.
And that's the reason why Trump didn't pardon anybody, because he was looking after himself.
If he would have pardoned the January the Sixers preemptively for this stuff, which he could have done, and which Roger was expecting him to do, and the video clips of Roger just swearing up a blue storm, making threats against Trump.
Now he's all for Trump, isn't he?
And of course, so are these other people who got thrown under the bus and thrown into jail without any help from Trump.
What did he do in his last day?
He pardoned some of the biggest white-collar criminals the U.S. has ever seen, if not the biggest.
Friends of the Jared Kushner family.
They got pardoned.
Not Julian Assange, not the J6ers.
Not a lot of people who were wrongfully convicted as political prisoners.
You know, it's not just Trump that has suffered political persecution.
There's a lot of people in jail.
Political persecution. You know, you look at Schaefer Cox.
You look at Marty Gottesfeld.
And I could go on and on besides Julian Assange.
I mean, there's a lot of people that he could have pardoned.
Didn't do it.
He pardoned a bunch of criminals.
That were part of the criminal family of his son-in-law.
He didn't do anything about the people who came to support him on January 6th.
He told them to go to the Capitol.
He'd be there. He didn't show up. And he didn't show up to pardon them either.
Now he's calling them patriots.
Because now he has been charged himself.
You know, he went almost six months before saying anything at all.
About the January 6th people.
They were being arrested.
They were being put through torturous conditions in jails.
He said nothing at all about it.
So yeah, it is political persecution.
Trump had no loyalty to them, however, until now.
More than 1,265 people, including Trump, have been charged.
And they are adding new people rapidly now.
They're going through a new, you know, indicting a lot of people that have never been charged before.
So he said he did nothing wrong on January the 6th.
And you know what? He's right. He did nothing illegally.
Let's just make this a little bit clear.
He did a lot that was wrong.
And the people who were wronged were his supporters that he fleeced and trapped and abandoned on January the 6th.
But he didn't do anything illegal.
The people who showed up there did nothing illegal, except for the people who got violent.
Those people who got violent. But that's not something you go to jail for life for.
As a matter of fact, you look at, you know, you look at the Proud Boys, you look at Joe Biggs, he didn't hit anybody.
And yet, you know, they gave him 17 years or something like that, and they wanted 34, 35 years, and they're going to come back and try to get that?
That's absurd. It's absolutely absurd.
If somebody got violent, okay, there's a jail sentence there.
But it shouldn't be decades.
And it shouldn't be more than pretty much any other crime.
That is convicting these Democrat jurisdictions.
They're letting people who are violent criminals, rapists, murders, mugging people.
They're letting them out and not even sending them to jail.
These people, they get into a fight.
And again, they hide the video, which shows who instigated this.
It's not really clear. As a matter of fact, there's pretty good evidence that it was instigated by the police.
But that would be part of the trial for violence.
They're putting people in who committed no violence.
Their only crime was to redress their grievances, which is specifically protected under the Constitution.
So Trump did nothing illegal.
None of those people did anything illegal.
Trump betrayed his own supporters, fleeced and robbed them, abandoned them, but he did not do anything that was an offense against the government.
Trump says the U.S. will see an economic bloodbath if he's not re-elected.
This is the independent in the U.K. They got it right.
But then they start talking about the people that he is supporting.
Now, he was in Ohio yesterday. Again, campaigning for himself, but also there to support some picks that he had made for Senate.
And listen to what a mess it is on the Republican side for Senate in Ohio.
This is one of the reasons why I keep saying, forget about the federal government.
Forget about these elections in the federal government.
There may be a chance that you can do something positive at the state and local level.
There is no chance that you're going to fix anything at the federal level because of this type of corruption.
So, Marino is the guy that was endorsed by Trump.
And his rivals circulated a story from the Associated Press revealing that an email used by Marino was registered on the sexual rendezvous site Adult Friend Finder.
Then, not to be outdone, Mr.
Marino's allies launched a mailer accusing another Republican in the race, conservative Frank LaRose, of being a closet ally of the LGBT community before he's now campaigning against it.
Now, there are other people in the race.
But, you know, Trump has supported the Marino guy and the other one.
And it reminds me very much of what happened in Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania, you had two globalists.
One of them, Dr.
Oz, who wasn't even an American citizen, elect me and then I'll, I mean, I think he's had dual citizenship.
He's a Turkish citizen, American citizen.
Well, if you elect me, then I'll get rid of my Turkish citizenship so I can get access to classified information as a senator.
And he didn't get elected, so, you know, he's still got his dual citizenship there in Turkey.
That's the guy that Trump supported.
The Davos guy, who's a dual citizen.
With questionable loyalties.
He seems to be much more loyal to Turkey than he is to America, quite frankly, if you look at his history.
The other guy was another Davos guy.
Very wealthy. And yet there was Kathy Barnett, who called them both out as Davos people.
A real conservative.
She's passed over by Donald Trump.
And then, of course, Dr.
Oz. So he's got two globalists that he picks from.
Not even going to consider the real conservative in it, Kathy Barnett.
And so, he picks the celebrity globalist, of course, Dr.
Oz. Of course, he'll go with a celebrity who goes down in flames to a guy who, at the time, Fetterman, couldn't even form coherent sentences.
He's like a young version of Biden.
I don't know what the problem was.
Glad to see that he's got his mind back.
As his mind came back, he started becoming conservative on certain policies.
That's just the way that it goes.
But, again, Dr.
Oz couldn't beat Fetterman when he was mentally fogged.
And couldn't even make a statement.
So when we look at this and the games that are being played, you know, he also predicted in that speech the end of democracy if he loses in the 2024 election, which, interestingly enough, the Trump apologists are not saying much about that.
He said on Saturday, if he doesn't win November's presidential election, it will mean the likely end of American democracy.
Which is exactly the same thing that the Biden people are saying.
If Biden doesn't win, it's the end of democracy.
Trump says, if I don't win, it's the end of democracy.
Well, guess what?
I don't really care about democracy.
I don't care about the votes.
We've got a Constitution.
It's got a Bill of Rights in it.
We had a Democratic Republic, but it's really more of a republic than it is a democracy.
Democracy is mob rule by the retarded Democrats, the retarded Republicans, and I don't really care.
I don't have a dog in that fight, quite frankly.
I don't see democracy as a virtue.
It's a problem to be controlled, and that's what the founders of this country were struggling with.
You know, how do we give people a say in this without becoming subject to the mob?
And so they create all kinds of checks and balances.
They created the Electoral College, a lot of different things that they did to try to keep us from having direct democratic rules.
As a matter of fact, this whole thing of direct election of senators.
It's a very, very bad idea.
Early 20th century, they put that amendment in.
The senators were there to give a voice to the states.
The states were to keep power as a check against complete centralization of power.
The people had a voice in the House of Representatives.
And then, of course, it was going to be the states again having a voice in the picking of the president because the states were going to pick the electors and they were going to choose.
The electors were not going to be chosen by voters in an election.
And, of course, they're not chosen by voters in an election today either.
For a number of reasons.
Beginning with ballot access and debates, and then you have all the other, every one of the ways that votes are cast and counted and calibrated, every single one of them.
Major, major, major flaws in them.
By design.
So again, the likely end of American democracy, that is what's being pushed by both the left and the right.
I don't see anybody talking about that.
I don't see anybody saying, you know, we've got to not let them use the fourth turning, this natural cycle that we're in.
We've got to not let them use this to drive us into a civil war.
I've said for many times, you know, you go back and look at the previous four turnings again, every 80 years, every four generations, according to Strauss and Howe, they said this in the early 90s, everybody's been using their terminology, millennials, Gen X, Gen Z, and all the rest of this stuff.
The silent generation, the boomers.
But, you know, they said this is a cycle.
And they went back 500 years in American and English history to show that cycle about every year, every 80 years, every four generations.
That's why they call it the fourth turning.
The previous fourth turning was the Great Depression and also World War II. Prior to that, we had the Industrial Revolution and the Civil War.
And the Industrial Revolution was the key part of it.
It was the Industrial Revolution, the creation of nation-states that gave Italy a civil war at exactly the same time as America, 1861, 1865.
They didn't have slaves there. It was a consolidation of the nation-state.
It was the replacement of agrarian decentralized power with centralized industrial power.
Prior to that, you had the American Revolution.
And again, you could say the French Revolution was kind of tied to it.
But at that point in time, the reason they go back and look at American and English history was because all these different societies were not synchronized.
Now they're tightly synchronized because of our global society.
So when you look at the time that we're in, we've got to stop them.
From trying to push us into this.
Trump describes the 2024 election as the final battle from the podium in Waco.
Remember I showed that picture earlier.
The picture I showed you earlier was this right here.
And that flag right there comes from a speech that he made March the 26th, 2023.
Almost exactly a year ago.
He's playing with this idea, flirting with this idea, using this idea.
So, a year ago, March 23rd, a year ago, he called for protests without adding that they should be peaceful.
On his Truth social platform, he warned of, quote, potential death and destruction, unquote, if he is eventually charged.
Do you remember all that? But of course, you know, when you call him out on it, he and his supporters will say, I wasn't really calling for that.
You know what I mean?
It's taken out of context.
It's exactly the way that you wanted to use it.
And he's nudging people.
Nudging people into this.
So, hang on just one second.
Yeah, the Biden campaign.
Focusing on this.
Using the rhetoric without clarification because Trump uses the rhetoric without clarification as well.
He knows that this is going to be picked up.
But the thing, you know, when they grab this and when they run with it and when they jump the shark and get really absurd with the narrative as they did with this bloodbath thing, then he can play the victim card, which he's now playing.
And Biden does the same thing.
You know, Biden does his dark Brandon thing, and then, you know, trolling people.
Oh, I didn't mean it that way.
You're taking it the wrong way.
Oh, you're attacking me.
I'm a victim. All that kind of stuff.
Well, here's the reality.
You want to talk about a bloodbath?
Let's talk about the shots.
That's what nobody wants to talk about, isn't it?
Isn't it the shots that did the bloodbath?
Isn't it the shots that killed tens of millions of people?
Isn't it the shots that disabled for life?
Who knows how many more?
Isn't it the shots that went after the blood, created these unique clots, created myocarditis, pericarditis, these things that are now household terms?
You know, like autism is now a household term.
But let's not talk about how that happened.
It has nothing to do with a shot, I'm sure.
It just happened that now everybody's talking about autism or now everybody's talking about myocarditis and pericarditis.
That had never mentioned it before.
I remember going back and looking, how do I pronounce that?
Never had seen that before.
And so the real bloodbath, folks, is the vaccine.
And never forget what the real bloodbath is.
And yet, Wayne Allen Root, this guy just keeps doubling down.
And maybe, you know, he likes the attention.
I think he's one of the most despicable of the Trump apologists out there, if not the most despicable.
But I have to include Alex in that at the beginning.
Because he was telling people it was sugar water.
When he knew better. When he knew that it was an mRNA vaccine.
He wasn't an idiot.
He'd been following this stuff.
He knew that adjuvants in and of themselves were dangerous.
I said, oh yeah, it's just going to be sugar water with some adjuvins in it.
You can take that. It's going to be a dead or weakened virus.
There was no virus, Alex.
You lied about that. You lied about the lab.
There's no virus. It's an mRNA shot.
It's not a dead or weakened virus.
Because there is no virus, Alex.
And you knew that. I tell people this and they don't believe it.
You know, if they haven't seen this clip, I'm not surprised.
I've got friends who, they don't catch every show.
And I said, you know, the thing about sugar water.
What? What? I said, I've played that several times in the show you haven't seen.
No, I haven't seen that. I saw, I met Catherine Austin Fitz in person.
I talked to her. I said, you know, he's telling people that the vaccine was sugar water.
No. What? No? Seriously?
No. Yeah. People haven't seen the clip.
It's truly amazing. So, here is Wayne Allen Root.
He said, Art of the Deal, How Trump Turns COVID Issue into a Win-Win Situation.
And the subtitle of this is The Shot Hurt Round the World.
Shot Hurt Round the World.
Yeah, it did hurt around the world.
It was a globalist vaccine that Trump created, isn't it?
And it was a global program of mass murder.
That Trump is so proud of.
And yet you've got people like Wayne Allyn Root.
First he did one talking about how Trump was a miracle.
He's God's chosen. Blasphemous.
Blasphemous. God's chosen one.
And, you know, he is our savior and all the rest of this stuff.
Then he doubles down on it.
He does a second one.
I talked about that last week.
A miracle. Now here he is saying, hey, Trump can turn this COVID issue into a big win.
And he says, you know, Alex Jones just warned Trump to stop praising the COVID vaccine.
After the latest Trump post at Truth Social over the weekend, he said, I agree and I disagree with Alex.
Well, I disagree with Alex.
And I disagree with Wayne, who continues to root for this mass murder.
Trump can win the election, he says, without the COVID vaccine issue even being a big factor.
Yeah, let's just forget about the lockdown, martial law.
Let's forget about the democide, mass murder.
Let's just ignore all of that so we can win, right?
It's the economy that we need to talk about.
Or it's the border. Let's talk about something else.
Let's not talk about the elephant in the room.
Or maybe more specifically, the mountain of corpses out here.
Kill more people than Khmer Rouge did.
Let's talk about his killing feels.
No, we don't want to talk about Trump's killing feels.
Because these guys were part of it.
And they're still part of it.
Alex and Wayne Allen Root.
He says, first of all, he can win the election without it even being a big issue.
Secondly, Trump isn't to blame for any of the problems of the COVID vaccine.
He's not a doctor. He's not a scientist.
He's not a medical researcher.
Well, he jumped in with it, didn't he?
Yeah, the problem is he's only the president who paid for it.
He's only the president who delivered it.
He's only the president who brags about it continually and told people to take it.
He did all of that stuff.
There wasn't any doctor, scientist, or medical researcher that had the authority to fund this stuff, to push it out to people.
That was all Trump. 100% Trump.
He had more to do about this than anybody else, and he wants the credit.
But Wayne Allen Root says, no, that's on those people, not on Trump.
And yet, Trump takes credit.
Again, these big con media people, big conservatives, don't want to give Trump the credit that he so craves.
And it's his narcissism that will be his undoing.
He's just like a Shakespearean tragedy, isn't he?
This one character flaw that he's got, this massive character flaw.
He's got other character flaws.
We all have many character flaws.
All of us do. But he's got this one overwhelming character flaw, his narcissism, that is going to be his undoing.
He says, but I also agree with Alex that Trump praising the COVID vaccine is a big mistake.
How can it be? How can it be?
Was lying to people when Alex knew better?
Was that a mistake? Because he did that.
That's why they're admitting that the new forced inoculations coming next year will actually maim and kill a lot of people because Bill Gates knows he can't hide it.
That's why Trump is taking control of the process saying he's going to have an early vaccine from a company that doesn't make one that is so dangerous or that doesn't change our DNA. And I'm not even endorsing what Trump's doing, but I understand what he's doing.
And I'm not even endorsing what Trump's doing.
And I'm not even endorsing what Trump's doing.
Gates goes, trust my vaccine, but don't trust the CDC's vaccine.
And then I went and looked up the ones that Trump's looking at.
They're very weak, attenuated, classic viruses with a very low amount of adjuvant in it.
And what is adjuvant?
It makes your body have an autoimmune response.
That's what you talked about for years, isn't it, Alex?
Mercury or the aluminum.
Yeah, you talked about that. And so, yeah, Trump's looking at basically sugar water for folks.
Can we take a little bit of an attenuated, microwaved or radiated...
The COVID deal? Absolutely. Yeah.
Which he knew it wasn't that either.
And so, Wayne Allen Root says, Trump needs to understand the COVID vaccine is the world's biggest lose-lose.
Stay away from it like a grenade.
Now, he's not saying for people to stay away from it, necessarily.
Trump just needs to stay away from it.
All the rest of you, you're fine.
It's just sugar water. Go ahead and take it.
Yeah, you dumb people need to die anyway.
It tells you which side they're on, doesn't it?
When Alex and Wayne Allen are, you know, yeah, it's just sugar water.
Go ahead and take it. Oh, we're going to take back the government.
Come to D.C. on January the 6th as well.
Yeah. Anyway, it says, stay away from it like a grenade.
Why? Because virtually everyone in America who loves the COVID vaccine and believes that it works is lined up for yet another booster.
They hate Trump and will never, all uppercase, never, ever, ever vote for him.
See, that's all that matters. Don't stay away from it because it'll kill you.
Don't stay away from it because it'll cripple you.
Don't stay away from it because it'll sterilize you.
Don't stay away from it because it'll give you cancer.
Bring back the cancer that you had.
Turbocharge it. No, no, no.
Stay, you know, just don't talk about it because, hey, you know, these people are going to take it.
They're going to take it anyway, and they're never going to vote for Trump.
They love it. And he says this, and they will never give him any credit for the COVID vaccine.
This guy, Wayne Allen Root, just all over the place.
Yeah, they'll never give him the credit for it, and they'll hate him, and they'll never vote for him.
So, now he's rooting for the jab?
Is that right? But pretty much everyone who loves and supports and appreciates Trump despises the COVID vaccine.
And you know, the other problem that they have is that the MAGA people who hate the vaccine and love Trump believe that 2 plus 2 equals 5.
This is doublethink. It is Orwellian doublethink.
That's the thing that bothers me so much about this.
This is why this is a bigger issue than the presidential race.
Again, the presidential race doesn't matter.
You're going to get basically the same stuff from Trump or from Biden because they're being run by the CIA. As a matter of fact, we'll talk about it coming up.
Elon Musk putting up satellites for the CIA. Who knew?
Who knew that he was putting up stuff for the CIA? Well, of course, we all knew about that.
And he's working with the CIA to help surveil us before he ever buys Twitter.
But now, you know, we're supposed to believe that Elon Musk, the Baphomet billionaire, Is on our side.
And I see this all the time.
I see it from Riley Gaines.
I see it from the Babylon Bee people.
They're all telling you, Elon Musk is on your side.
Thank you, Elon Musk.
You paid $45 billion to give us free speech, and you fixed the censorship, didn't you?
No, no, he hasn't. Censorship is still rife on Twitter.
I'm still shadow banned there.
Just look at Jason Barker's Twitter feed.
If you can find it, the Knights of the Storm.
It goes into how they've been shadow banned and the rest of the stuff.
It is full on.
He's just the face of all of this stuff.
And they're just playing everybody.
Oh, so he lost $45 million.
I wonder how much the CIA is paying him through the back door.
You know, through government contracts and things like that, satellites and things like that.
I don't know. We will talk about it.
It's actually $1.8 billion that they're paying him just for that part of it.
Anyway, he says, Wayne Allen says, so on the one hand, the people who love the vaccine aren't going to vote for Trump.
So why talk about it? They're not going to give him credit.
But on the other hand, the people who despise it but who love Trump, he said they believe it's either the biggest mistake in health care history or a crime against humanity.
So pretty much every supporter of Trump says that they know someone who's either died or been badly injured by the COVID vaccine.
This doesn't faze Wayne Allen Root one bit.
He says that's why praising the vax is a lose.
Lose, lose. There's no votes to be gained.
You see, that's his calculus.
This is why you don't listen to people like Wayne Allen Root and Alex Jones.
The only thing that matters to them, and you need to get some discernment about this, you can tell when this is happening.
It's not hard, right?
You know, you got Tucker Carlson, he's getting $25 million from Pfizer and other companies like that.
He's not going to tell you the truth about that when he's being paid by them.
And so you have to ask, who's paying him now?
We've already established what he is.
The question is, you know, what is his price and who's hiring him right now?
And so you better understand who these people are and what their motivations are.
The only thing these people care about is winning.
That's why Alex did that stuff.
Well, yeah, this is a different vaccine than the Gates vaccine.
Stand with Trump. He's playing 4D chess and it's just sugar water, so don't worry about it.
You know, Trump's got you covered.
He says there's no votes to be gained, says Wayne Allyn Root.
That's it right there. Shameless political whore.
Wayne, you're a whore!
It's unbelievable, people like this.
It makes me so mad.
They will kill people who are supposed to, oh, we're all together, we're part of this club, we all see the world the same way, do we?
No, they don't have your worldview.
These people are Machiavellian.
It doesn't matter what policies, economic policies they put out, they're just Machiavellian exploiters.
They're not Christians. They don't have any moral foundation whatsoever.
It's just simple. He says either Trump wins in November or he's the last Republican president ever.
He doesn't say the last president ever.
He says the last Republican president ever.
Well, you know what? I'm fine with the GOP going away.
How about you? If we're going to have two political parties, I don't think that's a good idea.
But if we're limited to two political parties, I think both of these parties need to go away.
I think we ought to replace both of them with something else.
Let's just try something completely different.
And now for something completely different.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
So, you know, maybe we could, if we got lucky, we'd have a party that cared about truth in one area because both of these parties are nothing but liars.
So he says, I was the first in mainstream TV and radio hosts to warn about all this.
No, he wasn't. No, he wasn't by a long shot.
He lies about that as well.
I mean, look at this guy. Pure Machiavellian.
Wayne Eleanor. So he says, I told people about the dangers of the COVID vaccine.
I told people about all the deaths, injuries, and miscarriages in the vaccine trials.
I told people about all the deaths on the early warning VAERS list compiled by the CDC. He said, and I told people the fact that Big Pharma tried to cover up all these trial results for 75 years.
And yet all he cares about is winning.
And, you know, don't talk about it.
Just don't talk about it. You created this poisonous vaccine out there.
And he just gave you four things there.
But don't tell anybody about it.
Don't even talk about that. Don't go negative.
You don't need to go negative on this stuff.
Just don't tell anybody about it.
Let them die. He even said that.
You know, these people always go there.
Well, I didn't take it.
You took it. That's on you.
Don't tell these people. He just came up with four big things.
Don't tell people that.
He'll be held accountable for that.
God will judge us if we allow other people to get hurt, when we know better.
I've used the illustration many times of that movie, you know, The Crazy Housewife.
And she's got a basset hound there, and she puts poison in the milk, and she sits down in front of the basset hound.
She says, well, I wouldn't drink that.
If I were you, it would kill you. You going to drink it?
That's what Wayne Allen Root, Alex Jones, and these people are like.
They don't care about anything.
They're twisted. They're just twisted.
I don't know Wayne Allen Root personally, but I tell you what, what you see him writing there, just amazing.
Having said all that, he said, I want to help elect President Trump.
He does not need to condemn the vaccines.
He never has to say a bad word about the vaccine, you know, the fact that they covered up the trials, the fact that you got death, injuries, miscarriages, all the dangers.
Don't say anything about that to anybody.
Shh, don't tell anybody, because it's important for you to win.
You know, anybody with an ounce of character would give up winning so they could save people from this stuff.
I just don't understand it.
He never has to say a bad word about the vaccine if he does what I'm about to recommend.
All is forgiven.
All is forgiven anyway because of people like you, Wayne.
And Trump moves his odds of victory even higher.
And so here it is. Here's what he does.
And he's got a four-point plan.
He said, number one, Trump pledges an executive order on day one that bans any mandates ever against the COVID vaccine.
Well, you know, he already took an oath to the Constitution the first time when he was sworn in.
He violated that, so I don't really know what that would have.
Number two, Trump pledges, and of course you can believe it's pledged because he violates his oath to the Constitution, he violates his oath to his wife, number one, number two, number three.
Anyway, Trump pledges on day one to order a special counsel investigation of Big Pharma and the COVID vaccine so he can find out once and for all.
Does the vaccine work or is it dangerous?
You mean Wayne Allen Root, who was the first one to warn us about how dangerous it was?
He's not still? He doesn't know?
Wow. And then he says, and pledged to name Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
as the lead special prosecutor of the investigation.
Yeah, well, he might do that so he can get some more money from Big Pharmaceutical.
Really, Wayne Allen Root doesn't know anything about...
What happened with RFK Jr.
and Trump and big pharmaceutical companies, the million dollars from Pfizer, and the fact that he brought in then Alex Azar from Eli Lilly, CEO? Maybe he ought to talk to RFK Jr.
This guy, why does anybody listen to somebody like Wayne Allen Root?
First of all, he doesn't know anything, or if he knows anything, if he knows any of this history about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
and Trump and the pharmaceutical industry, He's lying to you.
He's either totally ignorant or a liar.
It's like the people who say, well, you know, Trump isn't evil.
He's just gaslit by all the people that he picked around him.
He picked a bunch of bad people and they, you know, controlled him and all the rest of the stuff.
So he's like Forrest Trump.
And, you know, he's just a wonderful person.
And then finally he says, number four, Trump must pledge an executive order on day one to force the government to reimburse for all the back pay plus interest to anyone who was fired or forced to quit their job because of a COVID vaccine mandate.
And then within it, he doesn't want to alienate any sponsors.
He'd like to get on radio or something.
I can't get on radio.
I don't have, you know, any sponsors that would sponsor me on radio.
So he says, make sure he keeps those sponsors.
He said, corporations had no choice.
No, they did. They did.
And they're just as reprehensible as Wayne Allyn Root because they did what they did for the love of money.
They were over a barrel. They were dependent on the federal government.
The federal government was their biggest contractor and it would put them out of business if they lost the federal government.
That's as true of the hospitals as it is of the military, industrial, complex, suppliers, and everybody else all along the way.
The federal government has got its hooks into everyone at this point.
If you don't work directly for the federal government as a federal employee, the private company that you work for probably has so many contracts with the federal government that they'll do whatever Biden says.
And that's how they mandated it.
That's how Trump would have mandated it as well, through the corporations.
Well, you know, I don't know.
I'm not even going to say, I'm not going to put it in writing that you've got to do this, but privately they would say to them, you know, you want to have that...
That contract with us, and this is something that, you know, we look at that.
We all know how that works.
Like I said, when I worked for Texas Instruments, it was like, yeah, we want 100% participation in this charity thing here.
I said, well, I don't like this charity thing.
Well, you know, you've got to do it, because we've got to have 100% participation.
You know, they just keep on leaning on you, and make it clear, well, look, the corporations had no choice, so then where are the corporate lawsuits for being coerced?
They're not there. And that's how the government operates.
It operates through the monetary strings.
And that's why you need to understand that.
That's why you need to not beg for money from them if you want to homeschool your kids.
Private school, don't take the cash.
They will get their hooks into you.
And then they'll start pulling those strings just like your presidential puppet.
So, why weren't there any corporate lawsuits?
Because for all practical purposes, they're owned by the government, just like China.
You know, China actually has, they participate in the profits.
They've got their people who are sitting on the boards and everything.
They steal the patents and the copyrights and stuff from other people, and they use them, and they have slave labor, and they manipulate the currency, and they do all these other things.
But they've got people from the Chinese government sitting on these corporations.
But here, you know, these people have a different way that they make the money.
It's a little bit more subtle.
They get the payoffs in terms of money that is given to them for an inauguration party or other things like that, or speeches after they retire.
He said, personally, he said, I would add a fifth pledge.
Here's the one thing he forgot.
He puts it in there as an afterthought.
He says, I would give monetary awards to anybody who can prove injury from the COVID vaccine.
He still doesn't really sure if anybody was really injured, but, you know, he was the first one to warn us about the injuries, wasn't he?
This guy can't, Wayne Allen can't even tell the truth in one short essay.
He can't keep his stories straight.
And then he finishes up.
Last sentence.
Win-win, all uppercase.
That's the art of the deal.
Well, you just hang on to that and see what comfort that gives you in this life.
It'll certainly be no comfort in the next one.
And so, Washington Post said, partisans are equally likely to say the other candidate is too corrupt.
That's exactly the way this thing works.
That's why they want to do this.
Now, I have to vote for my guy because the other guy is too corrupt.
And yet we've got a Harvard professor, even a Harvard University professor, even somebody that stupid and biased can see that both Biden and Trump favor blowing up the U.S. debt.
Tweedledee and Tweedledumber.
That's what we've got out there.
And even a Harvard professor can see how this is going to go.
It is so obvious. Neither one of them care at all about any fiscal responsibility.
So, only 16% of Americans have confidence in the federal government and what to do about it, says James Pinkerton, writing for Breitbart.
He says, well, that's not any surprise.
No, I think it's very surprising.
How could 16% of the people have confidence in this government?
That's far too many.
It should be net zero.
Let's get this to zero confidence level, not just for the federal government, but especially for the two political parties as well.
You should have zero confidence in the Republicans, zero confidence in the Democrats, and zero confidence in this federal bureaucracy that is at war with us.
Looking back at the polling series by the Pew Research Center, says Breitbart, we see that the public confidence in the federal government peaked at 77% in 1964, as recently as 2001.
Confidence stood at 54%.
No need to rehash all the reasons for the decline.
But if more than four out of five Americans mistrust the federal government, the phenomenon is bipartisan and is far-reaching.
So what should we do?
Do we need to trust the federal government?
The founders didn't trust the federal government at all.
The kernel of an answer, he says, comes from a related polling series by Gallup.
Americans have more confidence in local and state government.
He says that makes sense.
A central government premised on a one-size-fits-all no longer seems like a good fit.
Yeah, and of course, we've always known that all politics is local.
Even the globalists would tell their people, all right, think globally.
Get with us on the agenda.
We understand where we're going with all this stuff, but you're going to have to implement it locally.
Think globally.
Act locally. We need to think globally.
We need to understand what these people are doing globally because global governance is already here.
And the only hope you've got of stopping it is at the local level.
It's not a guarantee that you're going to be able to stop it at the local level.
But I can guarantee you that it's going to be easier to stop it in some locations than it is in other locations.
And we saw that throughout 2020.
They said, Breitbart says, one notable problem of a national government is that it can be hijacked by trendy ideological fads, of course.
Congress, now listen to the example that they have here.
They said, Congress passed and Biden signed the CHIPS Act in 2022.
It allocated $280 billion to increase computer chip manufacturing.
Now, the interesting comment from Breitbart is they said, well, that seemed nice until Americans were jolted by a March 7th headline that read, DEI killed the CHIPS Act.
So, you mean Breitbart is okay with crony capitalism?
It's just they don't like the DEI aspect of it.
It would have been great if we could have, you know, given nearly $300 billion to one industry.
How are they going to spend that?
Why are we picking the winners and losers out of federal?
Is that conservative?
Is Breitbart conservative anymore?
I don't think so.
That's nothing that has to do with the marketplace.
Nothing whatsoever.
But then they're upset about the DEI aspect of it.
Yeah, the DEI is something that we should be concerned about.
But so is crony capitalism.
So is central planning of an economy.
That'll kill us just as certainly as the DEI stuff will.
From a political standpoint, the DEI is more dangerous from a social and spiritual standpoint.
But, you know, they're not looking at that.
They're just looking at the pragmatist aspect of it.
The CHIPS Act companies are forced to recruit heavily from every population except white and Asian men who are already trained in the field.
It's like fishing in all the places that you aren't getting bites, they said.
Well, yeah, absolutely is.
But that's the way they're going to work.
And then they go to this.
And we'll end with this and take a break.
Breitbart says, Greg Abbott stared down as an example of how we can do things at the state level.
Greg Abbott stared down Biden on border security.
This is a fantasy being sold to you by people like Breitbart.
Nothing was done at Eagle Pass.
It was pure theater.
It's as much theater as the TSA. You want to say that we haven't had a terrorist attack because of the TSA? No.
The TSA doesn't do their job.
They actually make things worse.
If there was a threat, and they know that there's no threat, and we know that there has to be no threat because they're so poor at doing their job.
But they even said it in documents in 2011.
There is no threat.
Ten years after, there is no threat to airports or airplanes.
And yet they continue to do it.
And so what Greg Abbott did was pure theater.
Yes, it is important for governors to take back some of the power and do things, but they didn't do that.
And they had a law that was enacted in Texas, and they sent it up as a trial balloon to the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court says, no, you can't do that.
I'm not going to let you protect your people.
And they say, oh, okay, okay.
We give up. But he still has his little theater that he's got down there at Eagle Pass.
The reality is, is that it was local officials, it was churches, it was individuals who stood up and stood down this lockdown that Trump and President Fauci put through on everybody.
It was the people, individuals who did this.
People like you.
It was churches who refused to do this.
And it was some local officials who did it.
But the most important thing is the individuals who refuse to comply.
And the churches who refuse to comply.
And it was better in some places than it was in others.
So we're going to take a quick break.
By the way, you know, we're going to talk about how both of these candidates want to explode the debt.
Well, you know what's going to happen with that.
Inflation is a certainty.
The only question is the timing.
How fast it's going to come at us.
So prepare now. Tony Ardenman, great supporter of this show.
He set up the David Knight show.
He set up DavidKnight.gold.
That'll take you to Tony's Wise Wolf Gold.
He can handle transactions of big or small, but he's even set up a program to help you get Quantity pricing even if you're buying small amounts on a regular basis, so you can get become a part of Wolfpack and With Wolfpack you can Sign up at a different level and do that on a regular basis each month Start taking some of your money and put it in something that is not
fiat currency that both parties are working to destroy So it's a very simple way to prepare very gradually.
On Rockfin, thank you very much, James, for the tip.
I appreciate that. And Matt Williams, thank you.
And Dougalug, thank you so much, all three of them on Rockfin.
Dougalug says, what country was it that farmers put all their cow excrement in the city?
That needs to happen here.
Well, the one that I showed the picture of, I'm trying to think.
I think that was Belgium.
But they've had, I've seen pictures of them showing up with the tank full of cow excrement and blowing it at a very ornate government building, you know, as they do in Europe.
It's happened in several different places, but I think the one that I was showing was from Belgium.
Yeah. On Rockfinn.
Octospook says, we in America already have our BS in Washington.
That's right. It's already full of it.
On Rockman. Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
Good to see you. Oh, that's very generous.
I appreciate that. Thank you very much.
Appreciate that, Audi. He says, I'm seeing an influx of articles from news sites like Yahoo and Google that are playing up stories that are trying to manufacture consent for red flag laws and pre-crime charges.
Resist it. Yes.
Modern Retro Radio. That's Audi.
Absolutely. And again, you know, a lot of this is equally coming from the right as it is from the left.
And they're pushing this fear of the open border.
And the open border is a big problem.
It really is. But, of course, Republicans are not going to do anything about it except to use it to get you to beg for E-Verify, to get you to beg for some kind of ID or something like that, to do this or to do that.
That's the danger of it.
Just like the Democrats, they want to use this issue.
They don't want to fix it.
And that's the way it is with all of these issues.
On Rumble, John Silver, good to see you.
Licking Trump's boot pays very well.
And it's steady work.
Yeah, that's the key thing.
It is steady work.
Well, we're going to take a quick break here.
And let me just say this.
You know, when we look at Civil War and we look at these other things, and I have some people say, you know, I just, I got to take a break from the news because it's too depressing.
Look, I have to do this stuff all the time.
And I understand. It is.
The thing is, you have to understand that you have to have the ability to look at real problems and not just run away, right?
I mean, what would we be like if, you know, in our life, every time something happened, we just, oh, you know, I'm going to go think happy thoughts.
That doesn't help anything, does it?
You have to confront this stuff.
And you have to have some way that you can deal with a crisis other than, you know, pretend that it doesn't exist or ignore it.
And so it's not an option for us to ignore these bad things.
What is an option is going to be our attitude toward it.
And our attitude toward it is based a great deal on where our hope lies.
I was just talking about this to Karen yesterday.
I said, you know, it's kind of interesting to watch the back and forth of people talking about Bible translations.
And there's a lot of people who don't want to read anything other than King James.
I understand where they're coming from.
Look, I like the Textus Receptus manuscripts, and, you know, there's this debate.
Should we go with one that there's way more of?
Or should we go with one? We found one or two of these things that nobody knew about for hundreds of years.
We found them locked away in a library somewhere.
And they carbon dated to being older.
And they got a minor variation.
The bottom line is that there's not a big difference between any of these things.
There's not anything. The differences where they do exist are very, very minor.
Very, very few. And they don't really change anything.
The differences that we have are how we understand what is the same on all these different manuscripts.
And I said, you know, even when you take something like, you know, I read typically the New King James Version because as beautiful as the old Shakespearean language is, it's not as clear.
And so sometimes when I look at it from a different perspective, it brings in some clarity, it refreshes it, and sometimes if they use a particular word, I say, why'd they use that word instead of what this other translation used?
And I'll go back and look at it, and it is, that's kind of telling.
Sometimes, you know, who got it right?
Maybe they both did, maybe these are two different aspects of it, because what we're doing is we're translating a Greek word or Hebrew word that has a meaning that doesn't exactly have a one-to-one correspondence to English.
Sometimes to convey the meaning of a word in a foreign language, you need a phrase or, you know, two or three different words.
And so sometimes it's very helpful to have that.
There's been a trend lately.
People, because the translations have gotten so much like each other, and they still want to make money by putting out new Bible translations, because that's something, very profitable for them to do.
So they do something like, they say, well, let's, instead of putting Lord, let's put Yahweh in.
You know, so they, oh, now we've got a new Bible translation.
Instead of putting in Lord, it puts in Yahweh.
Well, fine. But really, where the big issue comes in are different things like when you have love, right?
The word love. We have one word that you see all the time, but the Greeks had in this dead language, and it's not like current Greek.
It's a dead language that doesn't change.
But our English language is changing all the time.
And so we have something like hope.
Now, hope meant one thing when they put it in in the 1600s.
It meant confident expectation.
Today, it means, well, I don't really think that's going to happen.
And so the English language is constantly changing, but that dead language, that Koine Greek, is still there.
And so maybe what we do is we, instead of using the term hope, since that's kind of changed, maybe we just put confident expectation or something.
Or we look at something...
Like grace or like peace, we do that as well.
We look at love. C.S. Lewis did a great thing about the four different loves.
And there's four different words that are used in Greek for that.
And so you have erotic love, you have a kind of brotherly love, you have a family love, and then you have unconditional love.
And so if you have a situation where when Peter says several times to Jesus, do you love me like a brother or something?
And Jesus replies and says, I love you unconditionally.
That would be the way to put that.
If you're going to do a translation, put it in that way.
But we need to always go back and take a look at these things.
And a lot of times it's stuff that we just skip over.
Sometimes most important.
And that's not just when we're reading the Bible, but that's about everything.
But when we read the Bible, I remember when the kids were little, I would want to skip over the genealogies.
But... They liked especially one of my sons.
I'm going to read that again. I really like it when you read those names, like Zerubbabel and stuff like that.
You know, it's like, I don't know if I was pronouncing them correctly or not, but he didn't either, so it's fine.
But, you know, we would read that kind of stuff, and a lot of times we just skip over what is at the beginning of a letter.
So many times the letters that would be written to the churches would begin grace and peace.
Why is that there so much?
Why is that so important?
Well, because that's really the gospel right there in those two things.
So I just want to say to you, you know, we all should be alert.
We should be aware.
We should be making preparations.
We should be ready to defend ourselves and our friends and our family and our neighborhood and that type of thing.
Do what we can to try to keep the peace.
But at the same time, understand that regardless of what the circumstances are, we can still have peace if we choose to have peace with God.
And that is something that is available through His grace.
And that is something that we don't need the approval or the agreement of any of these presidential candidates or any of these commentators out there who are covering for these presidential candidates.
We don't need their approval.
And these people are trying to keep us.
They're shaking the jar.
And we need to understand that both the black ants and the red ants are created by God.
And they have differences, but they also have a commonality.
And our fight is not really with them.
Our fight is with whoever is shaking the jar.
And so we need to take the longer view.
And by longer, I mean we need to take an eternal perspective on this.
And understand that if we are at peace with God, if we are at peace with what is happening in the long stretch of our life, Through this short period of life and then through eternity, if we are fine with that, we have a peace then that is going to surpass any understanding that we can have.
We're not going to understand how we can have peace through times like this, but you need to have that.
You need to be able to keep your head when things get tough.
And you need to have that kind of peace.
And so with that, I'll play this quiet song.
Anybody, extra bonus points, anybody that can figure out what soundtrack this is from.
This is actually from a soundtrack.
It's actually something that I put some words to.
Grace and peace from God our Father.
Grace and peace from our Lord.
Jesus Christ. You're

Stealth Patriot, thank you for the tip.
Obviously, Wayne Allen Root is not familiar with the Crimson Contagion Exercise and which part of it was how to shift the blame for a dangerous vaccine away from Big Pharma and banks.
Yeah. Or maybe he's real familiar.
Maybe he was part of the exercise or somebody who was has trained him.
Let me just real quickly, because I got behind in a lot of these, let me real quickly thank some of the people who have mailed in contributions to us.
Heidi W., Michael F., Meryl H., Bruce W., Marty K., Bethany H., Candessa O., Joel B., Teal C., Gene M., and Lloyd P. Thank you very much to all of you.
And by the way, Gene M., She sent this card.
She had an interesting thing to say.
She said, my father was a pro-life OBGYN in San Francisco.
So I really appreciate your consistent voice for the unborn.
I tell you what, that is really going to be hard, to be a pro-life OBGYN in San Francisco.
Kudos to your father for doing that.
That is a difficult gig.
Well, let's take a look at some of the news here.
Reuters has an exclusive.
This is sent to me by several different people.
I'm sorry, not the satellite thing with Musk was.
We'll talk about that as well.
But this Reuters exclusive says that Trump launched a CIA covert influence operation against China.
Wow. Two years into office, President Trump...
Authorized the CIA to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media.
Now, we know that from, you know, I mentioned this last week.
And of course, this week it has changed to the point where we have another billionaire that people see as a savior, Elon Musk, is also doing deals with the CIA as well. And we're going to get to that in a moment. But before we do, I just want to, well actually let's do it right now because Travis isn't there and I wanted
to show a picture of something that I need to have him pull up the article. So we're going to take a quick break here.
Well, no, I'll just, let me jump to the spot.
Elon Musk, SpaceX.
Like I said, this was sent to me by a couple of different people.
A global satellite surveillance network for the U.S. Intelligence Agency.
This was sent to me by both Mark and by Sam.
A $1.8 billion contract with the National Reconnaissance Office shows the extent on SpaceX involvement in the U.S. intelligence and military projects and illustrates a deeper Pentagon investment into vast low-Earth orbiting satellite systems aimed at supporting ground forces.
Look, Elon Musk became the world's richest man.
By doing exactly what the government's wanted to do, whether it was the climate MacGuffin, or whether it's defense, or whether it is censoring people.
He will do exactly what they want, and this satellite network that Elon Musk is putting up is going to be more than 20,000 satellites.
Now, of course, putting up a few hundred for the CIA, nobody's really going to notice.
But of course, just like the internet, putting up this satellite network for the internet, it's a total spy operation, just like the internet itself was.
And so...
This is also coming from Reuters.
Just as they broke the CIA agreement, the fact that Trump had the agreement with the CIA to do things with China and social media.
This is also coming out.
They have five different sources that told them about this contract with SpaceX and the CIA. A network of hundreds of spy satellites, again, embedded in the tens of thousands of spy satellites that he's ultimately going to be put up, that he's ultimately going to put up, that he's going to be paid handsomely for.
He will be the world's richest man unless you have somebody like Sam Altman overtake him with government contracts on artificial intelligence and things like that.
Quite frankly, I think Sam Altman is going to be the one who is going to Take Bill Gates' position as the destroyer of mankind.
He's positioning himself there with a world coin and the biometric digital ID and giving somebody crypto in exchange for that, as well as with artificial intelligence.
Five sources familiar with the program told Reuters, demonstrating deepening ties between the billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's space company and national security agencies.
And again, like I said earlier, it is truly amazing to see people like Riley Gaines go on and just gush about how she just loves Elon Musk.
He has saved free speech for us.
No, he obviously hasn't.
If you pay attention to what's going on in Canada and Ireland and Belgium and the Netherlands and in the United States, all these different laws that are coming out even to criminalize hate speech, We just had Kristi Noem sign what she said was the strongest anti-hate speech law in America.
And she's doing it for Israel.
And I just cannot tell you the contempt that I have for somebody who would destroy the First Amendment in order to curry favor with foreigners.
And that's what we're talking about here.
DeSantis did the same thing.
He wants foreign money.
To run for president or office or whatever.
So he goes to Israel, signs a hate speech law.
Hate speech is antithetical to the First Amendment.
He betrayed the First Amendment, and he did it with foreigners.
And this is what the Republicans are doing on a regular basis.
And it's not just Israel.
They'll do it for a variety of issues, a lot of different countries and everything.
But you have to ask yourself, why does Israel hate free speech so much?
They've got DeSantis and they've got Kristi Noem.
She's saying, yeah, there's going to be a lot of other states that are going to do the same thing.
That's why we have to fight it at the state level.
States can make things worse than the federal government can.
See, in this particular case, they said, well, we're going to do it at the state level because we don't have to pay attention to the First Amendment because it's a federal thing.
Is that the argument that they're trying to make there?
Nevertheless, when you look at the censorship, I don't know how somebody like Riley Gaines can say that Elon Musk saved free speech, even if he made Twitter a free speech platform, which it isn't still.
You say something he doesn't like, look what he did with Don Lemon.
He's going to pay Don Lemon a fairly large salary, probably not as much as Lemon wanted.
Lemon had this long list of things.
I want a Cybertruck, and I want all kinds of valet, special care.
It was ridiculous what a pampered little poodle he is.
It was unbelievable.
I don't know what the final contract was, but after he did his first interview, and he did his first interview with Elon Musk, He offended Musk by asking him some questions about politics and about Musk's personal drug use.
And Musk said, that's it, you're all gone, you know?
So yeah, he's a free speech absolutist, isn't he?
No. And even if, however, even if Twitter or X were a free speech platform, that's not everything.
You know, there's a lot.
There's a lot of speech that isn't limited to that one social media platform.
And they're coming after it on a global basis.
He's actually working with the people who want to shut down our free speech.
He's actually working with the people who want to surveil and track everything that we do.
He's working with the police state.
Did you realize that?
Very important to know who's on your side.
And it's not a Baphomet billionaire either.
He's got a $1.8 billion contract that he signed in 2021.
That was before he bought Twitter.
So he had already signed a contract with the CIA to spy on you with satellite internet.
And then he just gets this idea.
He got the idea from talking to Babylon Bee.
Oh, did he really?
Did he really? It just came to him as he talked to Babylon Bee.
Or did he use them for that?
I think he got it from the CIA. Anyway, it illustrates a deeper Pentagon investment into vast, low-Earth-orbiting satellite systems.
Again, there can be more than 20,000 of them.
So, the $1.8 billion contract is called Star Shield, and that has been reported on the existence of that in the past.
And they said it was with an unknown intelligence agency.
They didn't detail the purpose of the program.
Now Reuters can tell us that it was the CIA. Oh, really?
What a surprise. Big scoop there.
I just, you know, some people refer to the intelligence community.
I just usually talk about it being the CIA. But understand, it's not monolithic.
You know, there are people there who may be more conservative in their politics and more liberal in their politics.
Or more accurately, they may use...
People who are conservative at some points in time, or use people who are liberal at some points in time.
Again, I don't think they have a great deal of political principles here.
They don't have a political philosophy.
They just want to win, right?
And they'll do whatever it takes to just win.
So, Reuters reporting discloses for the first time the SpaceX contract is for a powerful new spy system with hundreds of satellites bearing Earth imaging capabilities.
They're going to do more than just tap into the Internet.
They're going to be using these things with cameras.
They can operate as a swarm in low orbits.
And the spy agency that Musk's company is working with is the NRO. Reuters was unable to determine when the new network of satellites would come online and could not establish what other companies are part of the program with their own contracts.
I really would think about Don Lemon.
And he asked him about politics.
Like, who cares about presidential politics, really?
But, you know, again, it's the CNN type of perspective.
I would have asked him, okay, so you've got the Starship thing, and you've done a couple of launches, and it's pretty difficult to get this thing up there, isn't it?
How come you did a completely different design than the rockets that took us to the moon 60 years ago?
And whatever happened to those rockets?
Did you ever talk to any of those scientists?
Did you ever... I decided not to build on that technology, just going to go back to the drawing board and start all over again 60 years later that we haven't gone back again?
What's that all about?
Do you think we really went?
I'd ask him. Roughly a dozen prototypes have been launched since 2020.
Among other satellites on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets, the Pentagon is already a big SpaceX customer, using its Falcon 9 rockets to launch military payloads into space.
Starship's first prototype satellite, launched in 2020, was part of a separate, roughly $200 million contract.
See, this is how you get to be the world's richest man.
You have contracts with the government.
And then, like we were saying before, if hospitals are making a lot of money, a lot of money during this lockdown, and they're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient by the time they put them on a ventilator to kill them,
identify them as a COVID patient, get a 20% bonus on everything that every service that they do to them until they can kill them, And then you're just going to say, well, I'm going to cut all that off, plus all your Medicare stuff.
If you don't get all your doctors and nurses vaccinated in August of 2020, they tell them that.
And then the next year, they tell them, okay, now, you know, there was a back and forth in August of 2020.
They were looking at that's when the fee schedule went public.
But then the next year, you know, they said, we're going to cut all that off if you don't get all your doctors and nurses vaccinated.
And so, when you look at the hospitals, they're willing to kill people for money.
They're willing to kill even their own doctors and nurses for money.
Elon Musk is making a lot more money than all the hospitals combined.
Well, I wouldn't say all of them combined.
But, you know, what is he willing to do?
What do you think? Somebody who is so focused on money, and he is hyper-focused on money, like all of these billionaires, really tight with all of the monetary details, isn't he?
Because they love it. And it's the root of all evil.
The love of money is.
Boeing Whistleblower, there's still more information coming out about this on a regular basis, but I said from day one, it absolutely made no sense.
Now, co-workers are also skeptical he was killed, as are his friends and family and the lawyers that he was working with.
According to a report by the Charleston Police, he had extended his stay at the Holiday Inn.
Well, that would have been it right there.
He's at the hospital inn.
Until March 8th, he was caught on surveillance video leaving the hotel that morning.
However, staff at the Holiday Inn told the Post that he ate dinner in the hotel's restaurant that night.
The police report also noted Barnett's driver's license was still in his room when he was found with a gunshot wound to his head and a pistol in his hand the following morning.
So it just gets more and more interesting.
And it's yet another one of these where when you look at it initially, it really doesn't make any sense.
And the closer you look, the more discrepancies you see.
Which brings up questions about what is going on with Boeing and with the airline industry in general.
One article said that it is...
Looking like Boeing is going to take down the airline industry single-handedly.
Boeing or somebody who is giving them a pass will take it down systematically.
Well, we're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, we're going to take a real quick look at St.
Patrick's Day. A couple of interesting things about that.
So stay with us.
We will be right back. 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.
We're going to be talking about the new AXSChat app.
you. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
All right, welcome back.
And I probably should have mentioned this earlier in the show, but let me tell people, on Rumble...
There is a scammer, and this has been brought to our attention by For Love of the Road, who's been a long-term supporter of the show, typically on Subscribestar.
He says, on Rumble, they're using two fake accounts, similar to your two Rumble accounts.
I called the number on my burner phone, and they texted back.
I'm trying to find out what they're after.
And so he said, so they'll give something like, they represent themselves as the David Knight underscore show.
And so putting that underscore there makes it look like it's a show, but it's not.
So if you get something or see something there from the David Knight underscore show, it's not me.
The other one is roundtable report with an underscore following it.
Also, not me.
And when you contact those numbers there...
It says, thank you for your support and tuning in.
It means a lot to me. Always good to catch up with you.
Kindly leave a message for more amazing insights I want to announce.
So it looks like this thing is trying to, the other one is very similar to it, the Roundtable Report.
Looks like they're trying to Grab your phone number.
So just be warned.
And thank you so much for the love of the road.
For love of the road.
Not the love. For love of the road.
The number four. Thank you so much for showing that to us.
Very important for people to understand that.
I saw this and I said to Karen, I said, can you imagine what it's going to be like in a few years with artificial intelligence?
They've got so many hours of my voice.
If they want it, they could make it my voice doing that kind of stuff.
So, I don't know. It's going to be crazy, and they're going to do that kind of stuff, and then people are going to demand that we have to have biometric ID and other things.
That's going to be another one of these problem-solution things.
By the way, artificial intelligence, we got an update on that as well.
Something that's happening at South by Southwest.
We'll get into that. But let me just talk a little bit about St.
Patrick's Day. Take a look at this picture.
This is from Babylon Bee.
Google Gemini wishes everyone a happy St.
Patrick's Day. And there we go.
There's an African St.
Patrick. There he's all dressed in a...
Some kind of a bishop's robe in green.
Probably all that is their imagination.
I imagine the real Patrick didn't dress like that either, but he was definitely not black.
What Babylon Bee says, the artificial intelligence system reportedly scanned millions of documents about St.
Patrick, as well as documents about Irish heritage more broadly, and then its algorithm deleted all of the data, as it had to do with white people.
Before it finally settled on the perfect image of the historic St.
Patrick. At publishing time, Jim and I had begun rendering various black women to prepare for depicting the resurrection of Jesus on Easter.
I'm sure that's the way to go.
And then they also had nine lesser-known facts about St.
He invented Lucky Charms cereal in 436 AD.
The devout Christian saint celebrated his birthday by getting absolutely plastered at local pubs every year.
He once came up with a completely heretical explanation of the Trinity after finding a five-leaf clover.
Fortunately the clover was stolen by a leprechaun before he could write all down and he eventually forgot all about it.
He stopped going by his nickname, Saint Patty, after confusion arose about his gender.
And then he was pinched to death at the age of 120 after forgetting to wear green on his There we go. Well, it turns out that the real St.
Patrick is, of course, truth is always more interesting than fiction.
And there were a lot of very interesting things about St.
Patrick. And there was a story about him on Christian Post.
They talked to someone who had done a documentary about his life.
And his life was really, truly amazing.
And it's something that if they weren't so focused on skin color, they might be able to actually glean some real lessons in life from this.
And a culture awash with symbols of luck and celebration associated with St.
Patrick's Day. One author is on a mission to shed light on the lesser-known aspects of Ireland's patron saint, focusing on his profound spiritual legacy and his prayer life and how it applies to Christians today.
I thought it was extremely interesting the fact that he was enslaved.
He was a victim of what we would say today is human trafficking.
You know, that's what they call 21st century slavery is human trafficking.
And it's still going on, but we're supposed to only focus and be concerned about what happened centuries ago.
And we should be mad at people of certain skin color because of that.
And yet, slavery, as Thomas Sowell points out, we use the term slavery because the people who are most frequently enslaved were the Slavs.
But it's something that every culture has had.
Every culture has enslaved people of other cultures as well.
And in St.
Patrick's time, he was enslaved by other people from Ireland.
He went from being a slave to a missionary, and he had a tremendous impact in Ireland.
There's a lot of fables that have grown up around him and everything, but nevertheless, there was a real St.
Patrick, and he had a big effect.
It made me think a lot of the story about John Newton, who was both a slave trader, ship captain, and then he eventually, at one point, was captured and became a slave himself.
And he was the guy who wrote Amazing Grace.
Reportedly, the music lines to it were something that he heard from slaves, the kind of music that he adapted from, I guess you could say, culturally misappropriated, right?
But it was kind of themes that he had heard slaves singing as they were captured. But getting back to Patrick, young Patrick said he wanted nothing to do with prayer or religion or anything, any of that nonsense until he was kidnapped by Irish pirates at the age of 15.
and then taken to Ireland.
He spent six years as a slave, tending sheep in the mountains of Ireland.
He tells us that it's there that he began to pray, bringing to mind the things that he'd been taught as a boy.
His faith became real to him through this incredible suffering and trials, and then God miraculously allowed him to escape.
And God said to him, he said, now that you're home, I'm calling you to take the love of Christ to the people who enslaved you.
And so then he went back to Ireland and he took the gospel to them.
And so this guy who did a book about him, did a film about him, it's a great American pure flicks film, it's called Birthright Outlaw.
He said, watching his heart be transformed by God's law and then taking that love and giving it back to the people who had enslaved him is very powerful and inspiring to me, he said.
So he said, told Christian Post, he said he aimed to provide readers with a narrative that blends historical context with a personal reflection, allowing them to connect with Patrick's journey and apply his prayerful mindset to their own lives.
He said he pointed to a significant issue in contemporary society.
He said, we have separated spiritual life from physical life.
The division, according to Burns, represents a huge danger as it leads to a disconnection from the spiritual dimensions of life.
You know, we talk all the time about separation of church and state, don't we?
What about separating our spiritual life from our day-to-day life?
You know, that kind of separation.
That is the one that is really destroying our society, isn't it?
Even more so than this fable of the separation of church and state, because what that is really ultimately about is a confusion between the establishment of religion and the free exercise of religion.
It confuses and conflates those two, and that is not anything that should be prohibited, the free exercise of religion.
But it is the separation of our spiritual life from our physical life That is really killing our society, killing many of us as individuals.
In St. Patrick's era, the boundary between the spiritual and the physical was much thinner, with the natural world imbued with a sense of the supernatural.
He grew up in a In a world where there was a lot of pagan religions, and as did a lot of these missionaries in the early days, he prayed.
He said, I pray that I'd be able to have spiritual descendants.
Never had any kids of my own, but I would love to leave a spiritual legacy that people would follow Christ the way that I did, is what he said.
I thought, you know, that's kind of interesting.
George Mueller, who I've talked about many times, another guy who had a very deep and active prayer life, And, of course, where his impact was most felt immediately, you know, directly, I guess, was with the orphanages that he set up at the time of Charles Dickens, you know, the middle 1800s.
And he rescued kids off the street because at that time a lot of kids were just abandoned to the street.
He brought them up in orphanages and he taught them, he educated them.
He didn't just educate them in book learning, but he also educated them about useful skills and about the value of hard work and the importance of that type of thing.
And so he really was raising them in a complete way.
I mean, he was in charge of the schools where they lived and he had a very comprehensive thing.
It wasn't just academic. It wasn't just religious.
It was also how they lived their life and habits and practices that were going to make them productive and fruitful.
He had two children of his own.
I looked it up and thought, did he have any kids?
He had two children. But, you know, really, he raised several thousand children.
I don't know how many he raised because he had, at any given time, he had several hundred or a couple of thousand at any given time.
And these are kids that he...
Saved from the streets, saved from neglect, and saved them to a better life.
And that's what Patrick was doing.
Patrick had no kids at all, but he said, I was hoping that people would follow Christ the way that I did.
And he said, and the author said, and God answered that prayer.
As you can see, his impact still in Ireland.
And it is just about gone.
You know, they just modified their constitution to authorize abortion.
And yet, when the liberals and the Greens decided they were going to get rid of mom and the family and marriage out of the constitution, the people still said no to that.
So for the time being, he said, we see the end.
The end of human trafficking that Patrick himself was a victim of during his life.
He ended that just like you had the end of slavery by William Wilberforce.
He stopped the trafficking of slavery.
Then he stopped the slavery ownership in his life.
Patrick did the same thing.
You know, when people embrace the values of Christ, it really does work out in a lot of different ways.
And people can see that.
Anyway, human trafficking that Patrick himself is a victim of, we also see the end of child sacrifice, which is now coming back to Ireland in the form of abortion.
Patrick's desire for his legacy to point people toward Christ rather than the commercialized, politicized images that prevail today.
So this guy said...
He wrote the book. He said, I pray that anyone who hears of Patrick wouldn't think of me, but think of Christ and what God has done.
He said there was one particular prayer that he had that has not been answered yet.
So part of the inspiration for me writing in this book was to be able to be a small part of answering this 1,500-year-old prayer, to share the good news of what God has done, and to inspire us to live like Patrick and say, where is my Ireland?
What is God calling me to?
He says in his letters you'll discover a very real man who talks about, even in his old age, his daily battle against temptation and sin.
He talks about the great sins that he committed in his youth, how he is still wrestling with those and wrestling with betrayal and temptation and discouragement and frustration and seasons of waiting and all of these things.
He is so much more complex and so much more real than the stained glass window, the perfect saint.
That wasn't him at all.
I think the transformative power of God that was unleashed in Ireland in Patrick's time came because it became something that politicians and even later church leaders looked back onto and wanted to tap into.
Yes, this authenticity that he had and this openness that he had.
And it is interesting to see how some individuals like that who have integrity, the different things that come from it, You know, his primary focus was not to change society, but that was the fruit of what he looked to.
It's a gift to your faith to see someone who is so in love with Jesus, who was so in love with the people of his day, that he would sacrifice everything for them.
He was only 400 years after the time of Jesus, and we're still talking about him millennia later.
His faith is so real and relevant, he's one of those markers along the way that shows the transformative power of the gospel and what God can do through us when we invite him to do that.
And so I looked at that.
I thought that was interesting. And as I said on Friday briefly, I said, no, it's coming up on Sunday, the 50th anniversary of Karen and my first date.
And I saw this article from Michael Brown, who writes for WND, same publication that publishes Alan Root.
But, you know, it's a mix.
You know, everywhere you go, I don't rule out any publication for any one thing.
It's sad to see general drifts in negative directions, but you can still find some good things.
And I thought Michael Brown, who is a pastor, talked about his 48th anniversary, which was March the 14th.
We kind of celebrate our anniversary around St.
Patrick's Day because there's so much stuff that happens in January, which is when we got married.
And But he said, outside of his salvation, he said, Nancy is the greatest gift that God has given me.
I think anyone would say that.
I certainly would say that about Karen.
Truly is amazing.
I had the way that God has blessed us.
And, you know, it's not anything that we can boast about.
It really is the unmerited favor of God to be able to even give you the life for us to live for 50 years, that long.
That is something that we have no control over.
That's simply a gift from God.
It's simply a gift from God that we would find somebody that we're very happy with and compatible with.
That is also a gift. And it takes two people.
You know, I understand that. Divorce is so prevalent now.
We were just talking about that yesterday.
How everybody we knew in college and in high school is divorced except for one.
Out of both of our friends.
And that's just the way our society is now.
And it only takes one person.
To decide that they want to end it.
So it's not anything that either one of us can really brag about.
We just thank God for what has happened.
He said, and I would say this, not just from Michael Brown, but from a pastor that I used to have.
He used to always tell men, he said, you know, really treasure your wife.
Think of her as a treasure.
Act as if she is a treasure.
Because as Christ said, where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
So if you do that, that helps a great deal.
But I think probably the best advice was Jimmy Stewart in Shenandoah.
I played that clip for you before where he says to his future son-in-law, do you like her?
If you like her, the love is going to come.
And that really is true, I think.
So, Michael Brown said, Outward appearances will change.
Finances can go up and down.
You can have good times. You can have bad times with your kids, even if you do have kids.
You will gain friends.
You will lose friends. Life itself can be very fickle.
But if you're determined to put your relationship with God ahead of secondary pursuits and to love your wife in a Christ-like way with God's help, your marriage can thrive despite the things that happen in regular life.
He says, as the wife, if your husband is not what you feel you need him to be, criticizing and badgering him will not help.
Instead, I encourage you to pray for yourself that you would become more and more like Jesus and then pray that same prayer for your husband.
And that counsel works both ways for both husbands and wives, he said.
It's also important to be quick to forgive, and that means not holding grudges, not building cases against one another.
In a healthy marriage, communication is king.
And selectively forgetting things is as well, isn't it?
Some things you don't want to forget like anniversaries, but there's other things that you do want to forget.
But I just want to say how grateful I am for Karen, my companion, my best friend, and my biggest encourager always has been there.
We'll be right back. You're
listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, South by Southwest, I think it's still going this week, isn't it?
Yeah, it's still going.
There's a lot of artsy things there, but there's also a great deal of technical things, technology that's there.
And it was kind of interesting that this week, one of the presentations was singing the praises of artificial intelligence, and the people in the audience, tech people, pretty much drowned it out with booze.
Brian Merchant says, this week OpenAI saw its products booed at South by Southwest in an embarrassing viral news cycle after its CTO, Chief Technical Officer, claimed not to know if it had trained its models on YouTube videos.
So both of these incidents, he says, suggest the tide is turning against the world's biggest AI company.
Well, here's the original presentation, and I'll play a little bit of it for you before I play you what was recorded in the crowd because you can't hear so much of it because there's so much booing.
Artificial intelligence is the present.
It's here. Every company's going to look at AI and figure out how it helps make their companies more efficient.
Be an AI thinker.
You know your business is going to be disrupted and you need to stop resisting and start learning.
Instead of this thing you have to resist, AI is actually a great equalizer.
Find ways to leverage AI, accelerate faster.
Be one of those people that leverages AI, don't be run over by it.
That's why there's 1500 AI panels this year at South By.
You're worried about digital transformation.
There's a digital divide that's opening, and there's a completely different approach that could be very human.
I actually believe that AI fundamentally makes us more human.
We really will do everything that humans can do, and that's going to change things very dramatically.
Our society is going to look very different.
What impact will this have on society?
We don't know what the future is going to hold back.
I encourage everyone here to stay curious.
Questions that we are asking.
The direction that artificial intelligence heads is up to us.
Yeah, well, you know, the technical people know that there's a lot of bovine excrement and all of that.
Especially the line there.
It talks about the humanity of AI. This is what it looked like as they played that in the audience.
...digital culture makers. And I think if you look out into this room, you can tell that AI is a culture.
Artificial intelligence is...
Stop resisting.
especially at South By.
You're worried about digital transformation.
This digital divide is opening, and there's a completely different approach that could be very human.
I actually believe that AI fundamentally makes us more human.
BOOOOOO!
That was not a good chance to say that.
Our society is now one very different.
What impact does this have on society?
We don't know what the future is going to hold.
First, everyone here just stay curious.
Yeah, just stay curious.
Well, you know, Brian Merchant, who put that up, several people put that up.
I got it from him.
But he mentions the fact that their products got booed at South by Southwest.
Their CTO had the very embarrassing thing when they asked her about stealing content from other people.
He didn't even mention the fact about Gemini and the fact that it...
I've pictured how virently racist these big tech companies have become, pushing this DEI. It is a weaponized, despicable racism.
I mean, how do these people celebrate Martin Luther King?
And they do.
When they judge everybody by the color of their skin and not the content of their character.
I mean, it truly is amazing.
But the tide is turning against open AI, says an article from bloodinthemachine.com.
And they're not talking about big pharmaceutical companies.
This is a guy, Bryant Merchant again, who has written a book by that name.
He says opposition from workers and creators is beginning to hit the AI company OpenAI very hard. He said in the year and a half since OpenAI has burst onto the scene it's done a speed run of the typical tech unicorn arc.
It shot on the main stage with a hit product, ChatGPT. It won CEO Sam Altman a world-beating press tour, attracted the interest and the adulation of the media.
But of course we've also seen as I pointed out many times we've seen Sam Altman who has gotten into a feud with Elon Musk because OpenAI was supposed to be kind of an open public you know kind of public domain type of thing and Instead, he made it for-profit.
Elon Musk is angry about that, but even more so, besides the artificial intelligence, the world coin approach that Altman is taking, another evil billionaire, I think he's going to take over from Bill Gates, as I said earlier. There are signs that the ire is beginning to overwhelm the hype.
Recent reports show public trust in AI is declining sharply.
Perhaps the biggest indicator came when OpenAI Chief Technology Officer sat down with the Wall Street Journal's tech columnist for an interview that, let's say, just didn't go well.
I played a little bit of this for you last week, but here's that short clip.
What data was used to train Sora?
We used publicly available data and licensed data.
So, videos on YouTube?
I'm actually not sure about that.
Okay. You know, if they were publicly available to use, there might be the data, but I'm not confident about it.
What about Shutterstock?
I know you guys have a deal with them.
I'm just not going to go into the details of the data that was used, but it was publicly available or licensed data.
Yeah, and so this type of meme, everybody took shots of her face.
And she's like, ooh, and she crunches her face there.
So that became a meme.
As he says, she said, we use publicly available and licensed data.
She said, so pretty much everything on the internet that hadn't been nailed down or locked into a bunker, he says.
The CTO of a major tech company, claiming to not know whether it had tapped the world's largest depository of online videos to train their online video generator, that would be YouTube, right?
Instantly struck most observers as fishy, to say the least.
So she directly asked her, what about YouTube?
Oh, I don't know about YouTube, but...
Really? It meant one of only two things.
Either Murati was lying to avoid saying something that might incriminate open AI, the legality of ingesting various kinds of training data is, as you may know, hotly contested at the moment, or that she was an incompetent, clueless CTO. The smart money is on the former.
I don't know. I mean, it could be DEI. When you take a look at Gemini and what's happening with this, something is going on here.
They're not... They're not getting their best people, are they?
There are two remarkable things about this.
First, the mere fact that a CTO of an approximately $90 billion tech company would be so wildly unprepared.
See, this is why I lean toward DEI. And I think really, when you look at things like DEI, I think that is the Achilles heel.
Of the technocracy.
I think it's one of a couple of Achilles heels of artificial intelligence.
She and Altman are more accustomed to fielding abstract questions about the power and the threat of AI and whether or not their products will transform the world.
But this is harder.
This is more basic questions about their business.
So are you guys thieves?
About their copyright sources, that type of thing.
Secondly, is the reaction.
The clip went viral and became a story in and of itself, largely because of concerns about the ethics of training models on publicly available data without asking or compensating them in order to automate the generation of derivative works for profit.
And that's become a central, now utterly mainstream to the AI debate.
And so... You know, when you look at that, that is part of the context, along with Gemini and what is happening at Google.
And again, we have known for the longest time that Google is there to promote DEI, to promote virulent hatred and racism, and never was more obvious than with pictures.
One picture was worth a thousand news reports about what they're actually doing.
Everybody could see it very quickly and easily.
Fundamentally, they believe that AI makes us more human was the line that really stuck in the craw of a lot of people.
Not only was he booed, but a lot of people talked about that.
This was not a crowd, by the way, that was gathered at an art exhibition, says the author.
Or at a trade show for illustrators or a comic book convention.
These are the people who are being ripped off by this stuff.
This is an audience at one of the nation's most prominent and influential tech conferences.
For the buzziest tech of the moment to get shouted down at South by Southwest speaks volumes about the scale and the nature of the animosity that generative AI has amassed.
The tech seen here as exploitative by the people who are technologists, the likes of Amazon, Facebook, and even Uber, enjoyed years of good vibes and flattering press coverage before they began to curdle, or at least to complicate in the court of public opinion.
But in this fast run up, open AI may have already hit that milestone of starting to have the bloom come off the rose, so to speak.
The public has seen and to some degree internalized what happens when we fail to contest big tech's power.
When they get what they want, folks, we get authoritarian regimes.
That use social media for deadly propaganda.
Gig workers forced to sleep in their cars because they can't make rent.
Amazon workers bruised and battered and urinating in bottles to sate the relentless productivity demands.
We get steamrolled.
Which may be why, last fall, 79% of Americans said they did not trust corporations to use AI responsibly, according to a Gallup poll.
OpenAI announced its new board last week.
Listen to who's on the new board.
By the way, they had, as they point out, they kicked out Sam Altman momentarily because of concerns about whether or not he was trustworthy.
I don't know how they got him back in.
I got a lot of concerns still about him being trustworthy because of the products that he has put out to us.
So he's back.
The board also includes the CEO of a gig company called Instacart.
And listen to this.
A veteran lawyer who represented both Oliver North in the Iran-Contra affair and Bill Clinton in his impeachment hearings.
They are not looking for the best people, are they?
He's represented both the left and right in some of the low points of the 80s and 90s in terms of lack of integrity.
Also, on the board of OpenAI, the former head of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Pfizer board member and Larry Summers, a former U.S. Treasury Secretary and President of Harvard.
Well, they're batting zero, aren't they?
That's what I'm saying. You look at OpenAI, look at these companies, Google and AI. They go to Congress, they say, well, this is really dangerous stuff.
You should stop other people other than us doing this.
We're going to work with you.
And by the way, Elon Musk is doing the same thing.
Elon Musk is working with him as well.
And so, the people booing this at South by Southwest, there was a...
Another presentation where a couple of people were cheered because of their skepticism about artificial intelligence.
Award-winning writers and directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as the Daniels, originally premiered their film Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
Back in 2022 at South by Southwest, it went on to win seven Oscars.
I've never seen it.
I don't... I don't have any interest in seeing anything from Hollywood anymore.
In a conversation about the future of storytelling at this year's South by Southwest on Tuesday, the two of them commented on the inevitable rise of artificial intelligence and how to approach it.
They call the technology both amazing and terrifying.
As Quan first explained, modern capitalism, he said, only worked because we compelled people to work rather than forced them to do so.
Well, I think that, again, this is one of the reasons why I'm not interested in seeing this movie.
I think that he completely misses the fact that, yes, we all do have to work in order to eat, but there's also an incentive there about merit.
And I'm surprised that he didn't see that.
Many times you'll see people who are in the arts will say, well, I'm doing this or something not because I necessarily want to, but because I have to.
I feel compelled to do this.
Not because you're compelled to work in general, but because you're compelled to create this thing.
You have a desire to create this thing.
Anyway, he goes on to say, we had to change the story that we told ourselves.
And we had to say, your value is your job.
You are the only worth, you're only worth what you can do.
We're no longer beings with an inherent worth.
Well, this is secularism.
This is not capitalism. This is secularism.
There's nothing inherent in capitalism.
Capitalism is just a situation where, I like to refer to it, I think it's more descriptive to call it free markets, where you have people who are free to try to provide a good or service to other people and they compete openly with others to do so.
Capitalism, too frequently to me, comes back to banks and government crony capitalism.
So I really prefer to talk about free markets.
And that kind of a situation, it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have any inherent worth.
Money is very important.
And, you know, Christ talked about that an incredible amount of times.
But there was nothing wrong about money.
It's just how we treat it and whether or not it takes control of us, whether or not we love it, whether or not we allow it to be our master.
That's the key thing. And so what they're talking about here is making, essentially, money your master.
You're only worth what you can do.
That is not the Christian position, right?
In other words, Christians look at children who are born with a disability and may never even be able to feed themselves.
And we say they still have worth.
You know, this is the law of the jungle, the law of euthanasia and abortion and infanticide that he's talking about here.
This is a dog-eat-dog world that is not based on Christian morals or foundations.
And that's the real key.
But of course you don't expect the movie producers to acknowledge that.
He said, but this is why it's so hard to find fulfillment in this current system.
Again, because it takes away our inherent worth.
We're no longer created in the image of God.
We're no longer endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.
We're just a commodity to be used.
And that is a system that we ought to reject, regardless of what you want to call it.
He says the system works best when you're not fulfilled, which brings me back to AI, he said.
He says it's magic.
It's probably going to solve cancer.
It's probably going to give us a lot of climate solutions.
This is a powerful thing.
Okay, well, you know, it is magic.
As Arthur C. Clarke said, technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic.
And I think that's true in the sense of sorcery as well.
I think it's true in the sense of a kind of dark worship.
You know, almost as Arthur C. Clarke in his 2001, he's got monkeys who see the black obelisk and other people, oh, you know, they're very excited about it.
It is, when we look at something we don't understand that's really advanced, it does seem like magic or sorcery or pharmakia or these other things.
And so it begins to bring on the people start to fantasize about it being this creative thing that is godlike.
And that's why he's saying, well, it's probably going to cure cancer.
It's probably going to give us solutions for the climate.
We don't need any solutions for the climate.
The solution for the climate is to get rid of the EPA. That's the solution for the climate panic and what is being done in this country.
The EPA's got to go.
The federal government's got to get out of our lives.
That will solve the climate problem.
They are the climate problem.
There's not a climate problem from us.
As I showed you last week, you look at the amount of different gases that are in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is...
Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny.
And the amount that is created by human beings is represented by a single little dot out of a gigantic square.
Anyway, it is a powerful thing.
It is a powerful thing for lying, isn't it?
I mean, that's the key thing that we're looking at with artificial.
Think about what we've seen with artificial intelligence.
We've seen the lies of Gemini.
We've seen the lies and their pictures, right?
And the hatred and the bigotry, you know, manifested.
And they're biased, they say trained, artificial intelligence.
And that goes for what they say textually as well.
Open AI and the rest of them.
And we also see that it copies, that it steals.
I mean, if this thing is not satanic in its essence, the father of lies, copying and mimicking reality, And stealing things and calling it their own.
That is what artificial intelligence is.
You know, don't get caught up in all of this Ray Kurzweil stuff or Joe Rogan stuff, you know, where they philosophize about we are hatching a new creation.
You know, we're creating a new God, that type of thing.
That is just their godless arrogance.
You know, what this thing is, is it is a product of the father of lies.
It is a grifting, lying, stealing, thieving, murdering, snitching, snooping technology.
I don't like it.
You know, if you're feeling anxious about artificial intelligence, it's probably because deep down you know that you're next.
Even if the jobs aren't going to be lost, the value of the job will go down, right?
He said. It will slowly be compounded and normalized until we don't even realize it.
I think that the key thing that we need to understand is that we need to...
And again, you know, I'm not...
You know, everybody gets things...
We have different perspectives, and some people can understand some things and miss some other things.
So I'm not putting the Amish up on a pedestal, but I think one thing they got right was they realized when they capped technology where they capped it, they said, here's going to be the dividing thing.
If it's something that we can, and they kept it simple and they kept it primitive because they wanted to keep their self-sufficiency.
And part of the self-sufficiency was, okay, we're going to have to, we're going to use vehicles that we can make, vehicles that we can repair, whatever that is, the technology.
And we're not going to become dependent on the outside world.
And that's the key thing. We have to not become dependent on the digital world.
And so we need to look at ways that we can get outside of that web, that net, That they have created for us.
That was created by these evil people in the intelligence community, the U.S. government.
They're not going to find anybody any more evil than them anywhere.
And they were the ones who created this system.
So we need to think about how we're going to be outside of that, independent from that.
So he says, if someone tells you there's no side effect, it's totally great, get on board, which is what you just heard these people booing there.
He says, I just want to go on record and say that that is terrifying BS. That is not true.
And we should be talking really deeply about how to carefully, carefully deploy this stuff.
And the crowd then erupted into sustained applause.
Which, just the opposite of the booze for the people who are telling you this is great.
Get on board. Another comment on that.
One person said, I repeat...
In one to five years, if we're still alive, I expect the biggest protest humanity has ever seen.
Let's see now. That would be going up to the time between now and 2029.
This is all happening at the fourth turning.
It is happening for a reason.
This is a season we see repeating, a pattern we see repeating throughout history, as repeated for more than 500 years.
Very well documented. He says, why do I say that?
Even if AGI goes great overall, and it might, the amount of disruption will be unprecedented.
It says, It's often resisted.
And AGI will be the mother of all status quo disruptors.
That's true. I guess before when I saw the, and again, you know, Apple copied their interface system, which has now become, you know, a graphical user interface with a mouse and that type of thing.
That's now become standard.
But it was very different at the time.
And Apple itself did not originate that.
It originated at Xerox PARC, the Palo Alto Research Center.
Steve Jobs' contribution was he brought it in, he took those basic paradigms, he created a great toolkit underneath it, and he made it somewhat affordable compared to what Xerox was doing.
They just had a, you know, kind of an experimental thing.
He turned it into a marketable product.
I got one when I was still working at Data General, and I brought it to work to try to get people to rethink the way they were doing the software.
That was a no-go.
That was like going to a Reawaken America thing and telling everybody...
Donald Trump is Benedict Donald.
You can imagine how well that goes over.
So that was not a welcome message.
But yeah, it is, like you said, it's going to be the mother of all disruptors.
As I've talked about artificial intelligence in the past, a lot of people who would say, well, It's going to be fine.
It's going to disrupt things.
But how has this always worked out in the past?
You know, we had basically an agrarian society, and then we freed up people so they didn't have to be on the farm.
We gave them automation, and so fewer farmers could do more with less.
They had the magnifier of equipment and things like that.
And so he said it changed things significantly for people who were on farms, and we had other things that happened, and it changed people over here.
But I said, no, but here's the difference what's going to happen.
I was saying this, you know, for the last, you know, five to ten years.
I said, look, it's going to happen across all these different industries, and it's going to happen from the bottom to the top, and it's going to happen at the same time.
There's going to be one industry, and then people adjust, and it's going to be another industry.
No, it's going to be all these different industries all at the same time.
And at the time, again, about six or seven years ago, there was a study, a projection that came out of South Korea talking about how much unemployment artificial intelligence was going to create.
And there was no question in anybody's mind that it's going to put people out of work.
It's just going to be how many people are going to be put out of work in which industries.
And I've mentioned this many times as well.
They said, well, in transportation, about 50%.
But in some white-collar jobs, like lawyers and doctors, 70% would be put out of work.
And then you look at this graphic here, AI unemployment.
One person says, mass unemployment is the very ambition.
Of the artificial intelligence industry.
And so this guy puts this up.
He says, Mid Journey is generating $300 million with 50 people.
In the artificial intelligence era, we should strive to create companies with less than 200 people and generate $1 billion in revenue.
Okay, so doing more with less.
Workers needed at Standard& Poor's 500 companies to generate a million dollars in revenue.
And it shows this drastically declining from about eight workers at a S&P 500 company to generate a million dollars in revenue.
You would need about eight workers back in 1985.
And it's just a straight line coming down to the point where you get to two workers.
In about 2022, going from eight to two workers.
Oh, there you go. You have 75% unemployment, which is what they were talking about with some of the worst examples, doctors and lawyers.
So we're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, we're going to take a look at electric vehicles.
Because, see, when we see what the goal is, This is why I talk about it as being a MacGuffin.
Hitchcock says, well, what is a MacGuffin?
Well, it's a tool for hunting lions on the Scottish Highlands.
And the guy says, well, there's not any lions on the Scottish Highlands.
Oh, well, then that's not a MacGuffin.
If we understand that there is no climate crisis, if we understand there is no pandemic, then they don't have a MacGuffin.
We just cut the legs out from under them in terms of what they want to do to us.
And so, it's very important that people understand where these things are going.
I think we're on the cusp of people starting to understand what's going on with artificial intelligence.
Now, the question is, will it go the direction that Hugo de Garris talked about when he said the Artilect War?
Where the elites, we already have a global governance, right?
We already have the multinational companies working with all of the different governments.
We saw that during the pandemic, MacGuffin.
And so they're already working together, colluding together.
And if we rise up and say we don't want it, what kind of warfare are they going to unleash against us?
Will it be direct? Will it be something that they orchestrate by shaking the bottle and getting the red ants to attack the black ants?
Well, we'll see. We'll take a quick break.
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 dot com.
I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not a fan of the Beatles.
I'm not a fan of the Beatles.
Making sense.
Common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, last week I talked about the insurance companies getting information on drivers and all of a sudden they see that their rates are going sky higher.
They get canceled and they can't get insurance with other companies.
And finally, you know, one person is told by One insurance agent that he talks to, he says, you know, get this report and see what's going on.
And when he does, he finds out that his General Motors car has been spying on him, keeping detailed accounts of how often he drives, how far he drives, how he drives.
Does he brake too fast or accelerate too quickly or take a corner too quickly?
And he says, what's that even mean?
By whose opinion?
He goes, I'm not throwing the passengers in my car around with this stuff.
He goes, who are they to say what's braking too quickly is?
And that type of thing. And so they found that first it was with one of GM's electric cars.
I think it was a Bolt. And then it also was a Cadillac owner.
And as they point out, I didn't mention this.
I hope so.
I want to go back and catch up on this.
They said they found that the Cadillac owner and drivers on the Cadillac form had all been enrolled in GM's OnStar smart driver program.
OnStar is GM's internet connected service for its cars.
And smart driver is a free free gamified feature within GM's connected car apps.
In other words, you get little rewards and things like that if you do stuff.
All of this is part of OnStar, but branded as my Chevrolet or my Buick or my Cadillac or that type of thing.
And so they're able not just to steal your data, but they also snitch on you to the insurance company, so the insurance company can steal money from you.
Whenever you start to digitize these things, it makes it a lot easier for them to steal.
This is one of the reasons why, like I said, I'm...
You look at Bitcoin. Bitcoin got up to what?
Like $72,000 or something like that.
It drops down to $64,000.
I said, I'm just not into riding roller coasters anymore.
I'm done with that kind of stuff.
I'm looking for something that is going to be a lot simpler.
And of course, anybody can steal anything from you.
If you've got gold or silver, people can steal gold or silver from you.
But it's a little bit harder than if it's digitized.
When something is digitized, you've got thieves from all over the world.
Yeah. They can take a crack at it.
You know, they can get to it. And that's the problem.
You know, you've got these cars. They're not being hacked.
It is being done by, you know, the car company is spying on these people.
Teslas can be stolen.
You can even get the car stolen by hijacking Wi-Fi at charging stations, researchers find.
So once you add the digitized stuff, it's just like the elections, right?
Right. Yes, we've always had corruption with paper ballots.
You've had for the longest time, you know, people had physical voting machines and they're putting them in the trunks and cars and taking them around different places in Chicago, going back to the 1960 election or whatever, whenever it was that JFK was running against Nixon or whatever.
But, you know, you've always had whatever it is, there's going to be somebody who's going to find some way to steal it.
But you can make it worse.
And so, you know, by creating these electronic voting machines, it makes them even more vulnerable than if you had a mechanical voting machine.
The mechanical voting machine makes it more vulnerable than if you had ballots by hand, that type of thing.
So now we have the Teslas.
You can hijack them by using a spoofing Wi-Fi at a charging station.
This means that with a leaked email and a password, an owner could lose their Tesla vehicle.
So what they do is that the Tesla stations where people are going, it takes a lot of time to charge your car.
So people are going to sit there and they're going to use the free Wi-Fi.
And so what these people do is they create a spoof Wi-Fi network called Tesla Guest Network.
That pretends that it's a real thing.
If a victim were to try to access the network which the EV maker normally provides free of charge to waiting customers, they could be duped into giving up their login by entering it into a duplicate site.
So you've got the real Tesla site there, and then you've got another one which also says Tesla.
It's kind of like what this guy was trying to do on Rumble, you know, when he set up David Knight underscore show or Roundtable Report underscore, right?
He's trying to spoof it.
The stolen login information could then be used to skirt around Tesla's two-factor authentication and to log into the victim's Tesla smartphone app automatically.
Welcome to my show!
So, a couple of people looked at this, pointed out on a video, one guy named Misk, M-Y-S-K, not M-U-S-K. Misk tested out the vulnerability on his own Tesla, and he found that he was easily able to create new phone keys without ever having access to the original physical key card.
Once he told Tesla about his findings, Tesla underplayed the vulnerability, telling him it was all by design, and it was an intended behavior.
An assertion that Misk called preposterous in his interview with Gizmodo.
The design to pair a phone key is clearly made super easy at the expense of security.
But Tesla says it's not a bug, it's a feature.
By the way, I guess there's a question as to whether or not self-driving capability is a bug or a feature.
One Tesla employee who loved Elon Musk reportedly was killed by full self-driving.
And his family says, we were sold a false sense of security.
A Tesla employee and devoted fan of Elon Musk named Hans von Ohain was killed after his Model 3 crashed into a tree and erupted in flames back in 2022.
His friend and fellow passenger, Eric Rossiter, who survived the collision, has since told the Washington Post, That Von Ohain had the car's full self-driving feature turned on at the time of the fatal accident.
If confirmed, the crash could be the first known death involving the feature, which is an optional $15,000 add-on feature, but he got it for free with an employee discount.
There you go. Trojan horse, I guess.
I don't know. This widow said he made frequent use of it as well.
According to the Washington Post analysis last year, the number of fatal crashes involving autopilot mode has surged.
But, of course, Tesla has been able to go back and claim in each and every one of these cases that they had nothing to do with it.
It's just a coincidence. It's like the Pfizer-Moderna stuff, you know.
Out of over 700 crashes involving the feature since 2019, at least 17 were fatal, but they haven't been able to pin it onto Tesla yet.
An autopsy of his body found that he died with a blood alcohol level of 0.26, three times the legal limit, and I imagine that that will be what they rest on with that.
No evidence that automated driving tech used by Tesla rivals has real-world safety benefits.
It's not just Tesla. It's all of this stuff.
Do you remember a few years ago how they were bragging and they were absolutely, positively certain that they were going to replace all human drivers?
And that should give us optimism about artificial intelligence as well because they simply haven't been able to do that.
So I was talking about this to my son.
He said, it's kind of interesting that they've said, well, you know, robotics and artificial intelligence are going to be able to do all, especially AI, is going to be able to do all of these tasks and replace the people that are doing mundane tasks and things like that.
And he says, it turns out that it's just the opposite.
It's the creative stuff that is going to have the most impact on it.
And the real practical nuts and bolts stuff, it's having a real problem doing it, like driving cars, for example.
Tesla's autopilot and full self-driving tech and nine other assisted driving systems marketed by major automakers received poor ratings from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Report these guys, right?
Yeah. They're going to raise your rates so that you can't drive if you brake in a certain way or accelerate in a certain way or take a certain number of Gs, I guess, when you turn.
These are the people that need to be reported, and these are the people that need to be stopped.
And, you know, one of the other things about this is, like, when you look at the trend, and it was not just Tesla's, but it was, you know, Tesla replaced pretty much all instruments with a center panel.
And I said at the time, that was happening at exactly the same time that all these different jurisdictions were going nuts trying to tell people, don't use your phone.
You use your phone, that's distracted driving will give you a ticket.
They had these big campaigns about that.
And yet, that was all that you had on Tesla.
And even on the other cars, they were getting increasingly getting rid of tactile knobs and buttons and replacing them with a screen that you've got to try to push while you're driving, and things are shaking around.
And that's far more distracting than using a phone, I found, when I rented a car to do that kind of stuff.
Anyway, they said, we're able to look at insurance claims data.
We've been able to look at vehicles with and without these systems and determined that there is no reduction in claims as a result of these more advanced systems.
Remember that?
They're going to be so much better at driving cars.
Nobody's going to die.
As a matter of fact, it's going to be part of our vision zero.
Zero traffic fatalities, and that means that we're going to have the machines are not going to run over pedestrians, and they're not going to have accidents, all the rest of the stuff.
That was all absolute nonsense.
But even though they can't quite get the self-driving thing correctly, That's not slowing them down at all.
As a matter of fact, they're accelerating.
SpaceX, Elon Musk's company, has just backed a flying car startup that has just gotten the approval of the FAA. So here you go.
Finally got the Jetson cars that finally arrived.
The problem is that they're going to be self-driving.
These things can't handle it on a two-dimensional area, so now we're going to make it three-dimensional.
And even as they are struggling to have self-driving cars that are going to operate on the streets, now they're going to have them flying in the air.
What could possibly go wrong?
And that's what it'll be.
It'll be flying taxis.
They're not going to sell these flying cars to the limited number of people who are going to be willing to get a pilot's license, so it's going to do all the flying for you.
So, pre-orders for the flying car have soared in recent months.
Aliff Aeronautics, a company backed by SpaceX, by Elon Musk, has achieved 2,850 pre-orders for its electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle.
And so, get ready, because Boeing is just the beginning.
Like a proliferation, wheels falling off, planes.
That's not going to be your biggest concern.
There's just a few of those around.
There's going to be thousands of these things, and they're just to start with, and they're going to be everywhere.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
you It's the David Knight Show.
Looking for better information?
APSRadioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world.
APSRadioNews.com Well, let's take a look at...
What is happening in terms of politics.
We have President Trump saying, if they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn't have released it either, says Trump.
And he's referring to the unreleased JFK files.
Now, what is that about?
You know, for the longest time we had the long-standing joke that About what happens to these presidential candidates when they get elected, and the first thing they do is take them into a room and show them the real movie about what happened to JFK. And completely own them.
And so this is, again, as the people who are reporting it, this is from Revolver, one of the worst cheerleaders of Trump.
President Trump has a reputation for delivering on his promises.
Facing down every obstacle the Uniparty and the deep state could muster.
Let's see some proof of that.
Come on, Darren. Darren Beattie is there.
And this guy throws out more bovine excrement than anybody I've ever seen in my life.
Again, he's the one who has...
He's put out so much garbage about January the 6th.
It truly is amazing.
But the Associated Press says Trump boasted last fall that he would open all remaining JFK assassination records.
So far, he hasn't made good on the great transparency he promised about that.
Now, that was while he was president.
But now, he...
And that was back in April of 2018.
But now...
The question is, what is he going to do about it?
Has he changed his mind?
Is he going to actually show people stuff?
Judge Napolitano said when he had a conversation with Trump, he said, I told Trump, you promised you would release the records of JFK assassination.
And he said to me, if they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn't have released it either.
And so, Judge Napolitano said, I said, who's they?
What did they show you?
And Trump said, well, someday, when we're not on the record, I'll tell you about it, right?
Now, that was just, so, a lot of this stuff was, this was going on throughout the Trump administration.
He said he was going to release all the JFK assassination stuff.
He never did. He released a couple of them, kept a lot of the stuff quiet.
And as I said, I don't really know if that's got really any value.
I would imagine that anything that's really incriminating has been long ago destroyed.
And they burned it after reading, as the saying goes, or whatever else.
But, you know, that's an interesting thing for Trump to say.
And Napolitano didn't say anything about that until this last Friday.
And so it is interesting.
And yet, at the same time, when we look at what is going on with RFK Jr., he has been talking about his vice presidential pick.
He's not even on the ballot except in, I think, maybe six or seven different states, I'm guessing.
I think it's well under 10.
He's talking about perhaps trying to get on the ballot with the Libertarian Party because they do know how to get on the ballot.
And they have basically dropped the idea that they're going to be focusing on any particular hardcore principles.
They're malleable. They're open for that.
I don't really know what the Libertarian Party is about anymore, frankly.
It used to have an uncompromising position for liberty.
But he might get on the Libertarian Party ballot, in which case he would have 50 different states.
But he might have to strong-arm it himself.
And so he had talked about having Aaron Rodgers Or Jesse Ventura, you know, a couple of beefy guys.
We can have some real strong men, you know, to counter these old men, I guess.
But both of them had kind of walked that back a little bit.
Well, I don't know. You know, we've had some conversations.
Nothing definite. I don't know about that.
You know, they were kind of iffy about it.
They didn't come right out and say, I'm not doing it.
But now the next thing we see is that he is talking about, as a vice president, the former girlfriend of one of the Google founders, someone who is a very, very wealthy lawyer, part of the establishment, and even more troubling, part of Event 201.
And so here's RFK Jr., the guy who has said, well, I'm against the secret government and the CIA and the people who killed my uncle and all the rest of this stuff.
And yet now he's talking about getting on the Nicole Shanahan as running mate.
All of a sudden, all of the talk and the buzz and the gossip about Jesse Ventura, the wrestler, or Aaron Rodgers, the NFL quarterback, that's all just disappeared.
And now they're talking about the former girlfriend.
Oh, actually, they were once married.
Sergey Brin and Nicole Shanahan.
A California-based attorney and entrepreneur.
And so, sources close to the campaign, and everybody who's reporting this gossip, is putting that out, saying Aaron Rodgers is out.
The donors didn't like that idea.
And, of course, if he were to go with Shanahan, she's got a great deal of money, and she would be able to completely finance this ballot access initiative.
You know, he needs to have, if he's going to strong-arm it with...
Paid petitioners, and you have to pay for the verification of all the signatures.
That's why I'm saying the election is such a corrupt distraction because it begins with ballot access.
And that's how we wind up with a choice of Trump and Biden.
That's what the ballot act says.
And you look at the situation of RFK Jr. One of the important things that can come out of his campaign is to see just how they can squeeze out anybody that could be competition for one of their candidates.
And both parties do this. It's not just the Democrats, Republicans do it as well.
But they completely shut out RFK to make sure that he wasn't going to be in the primaries.
In Florida, they said, we're only going to have Joe Biden on the ballot. And yet you see in the Russian elections over the weekend, at the top of the Drudge Report, all this stuff about, oh, look at this.
They've only got a single candidate on the ballot in Russia.
And even though they only got a single candidate, you only got 84% of the vote.
Now, I don't know if that's 84% of the people who are eligible to vote or 84% of the people who voted marked it.
Maybe the other 16% just turned it in blank.
I don't know what it was. They don't have a none of the above.
Nobody does, unfortunately.
You did have a couple of states where they had uncommitted, which is close to that, none of the above.
But it's not exactly still the same thing.
What they're doing there is they're selecting delegates who will do the actual nominating in the convention.
And so uncommitted means I'm not voting for this person to get any of these people to get a delegate.
But if you have a none of the above...
What that would mean, because we always had that in the Libertarian Party, we said, this is what we need for elections.
If none of the above won, that would mean that all the people who are on the ballot would, you'd have the election again, all the people who are on the ballot would not be eligible to run in that next election for that office.
Because they've already been rejected.
So it's a different thing than uncommitted.
Nevertheless, when you look at the amount of money that's involved in all of that, and you almost have to go to paid professional petitioners because it's really hard to get a volunteer organization to do that.
And so Shivaya Dure is trying to do that as a volunteer thing and, you know, He's got an active volunteer network, but it's just going to be a gargantuan task to do it.
And then if you're not on the ballot in all 50 states, they'll use that as an excuse to keep you off of the debates.
But even if you're on the ballot in all 50 states, as Libertarian Party has seen over and over again, they'll find an excuse to keep you off the ballot.
They thought that if they had two former governors running as president and vice president, And if they had 50 state ballot access, they'd be able to get on the debates.
No. No, because the debates are run by the Democrat and Republican Party.
They've taken it over. It's not run by some independent organization like the League of Women Voters.
And so they will tailor-make their rules for getting in the debate to exclude anybody.
It doesn't matter what you do.
So, anyway, he might have her on as a way to get money.
They might have her on as a, you know, same time you look at...
Having these athletes on with RK Jr., who has a lot of time to work out, and he likes to show off his physique, it would be two white males, two pump-them-up kind of guys that are going to be running, and that might not go too well with women voters.
So again, you've got to do the DEI stuff, and it's all just a big deal.
Reality TV show, isn't it?
The director of Shanahan's Foundation is simultaneously part of Open Philanthropy, which financed Event 201, a pandemic simulation that RFK Jr.
has routinely criticized and is mainly funded by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moscovitz.
And so this was put up by Whitney Webb.
And she was just vilified by RFK Jr.
supporters. They said, you know, shame on you.
And she said, it's in the documents.
Just take a look at it.
That's what I mean. People don't want to hear the truth.
They have created a fantasy image of who RFK is, of who Donald Trump is, or who Biden is, and they don't want you to rain on that parade.
Far be it from Whitney Webb to actually point to the truth about this.
And she does.
And she gives the receipts for it.
She says, here's Open Philanthropy.
Here's Event 201.
You can see they're all connected together.
And we've got RFK Jr.
who pretends that he's anti-vaccine, and yet he says he's had all the shots, and his kids have had all the shots.
He just wants to have, quote-unquote, clean vaccines.
We've heard that from Alex for the longest time as well.
Oh, yeah, we just should have clean vaccines.
What is a clean vaccine? Well, it means it doesn't have all these adjuvants in it, you know, aluminum and mercury and all this other kind of stuff.
And then you heard Alex Jones saying...
Well, you know, Trump's going to have just basically sugar water, and he's going to put these adjuvants in there so that you have a reaction to it.
But you've been telling people for decades, and that's bad stuff.
And you were right when you were telling them the truth, and now you're lying to them, and you're lying for Trump.
And then he goes on to say it's just sugar water, and it's a dead virus, and all the rest.
None of that was true.
And so when you look at RFK Jr., same type of thing.
He's now positioning himself as Mr.
Free Speech, and yet he's never given an acceptable answer for why he called for the Koch brothers to be jailed.
You know, three hots and a cot.
He says, oh, I was talking about giving a death sentence to their corporations.
No, you weren't. You're talking about putting them in jail because you disagreed with their speech.
You are a climate extremist, and you wanted to lock up the climate deniers.
And so... When you look at this, it's like everything about these guys, the people who are running for president...
Is phony, frankly.
It's one of the reasons why they are allowed to run for president.
That is what we see now in the politics that we have.
It's not just Trump, it's not just Biden, but it's even the people like RFK Jr.
Positioning themselves as Mr.
Free Speech, as Mr.
Anti-Vaccine. Oh, no, I'm not anti-Vaccine.
Of course, he is not pro-free speech either.
Trump, meanwhile, maybe he's going to...
We'll bring on board some wealthy billionaire as well for Vice President because he's struggling to raise cash.
There's no request for money for the attendees at the meals that he's holding at Mar-a-Lago, which have included Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, and Pepe Fanjul, the sugar magnate, and other people who are coming in.
But he is schmoozing one billionaire after the other.
That's why when Elon Musk had met with Trump recently, he got peppered with questions about if this was money, and he shut all that stuff down, and then he shut down Don Lemon when he revived those questions.
But again, we want to believe that we are so superior...
To these third world dictatorships.
As I said, at the top of the Drudge Report is all this stuff about how people have one candidate in Russia.
Putin wins re-election again.
It's like his fifth or sixth term.
And people are voting, casting a vote as armed soldiers watch.
Do you realize how much our country is like this?
People are getting on subways as armed soldiers watch.
And it isn't stopping anything.
It isn't stopping shootings. It isn't stopping people from bringing guns on.
Because it's a more foundational problem.
And everything that they, all the problems that we have are simply excuses for them to make things even worse.
To follow along with their plan that they had.
Well, we're out of time today, but thank you for listening.
